Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
If the distributions are made to the estate and the estate passes those distributions through to the beneficiaries of the estate, then the distributions will be taxed to the beneficiaries at their respective income tax rates. The estate would not have to pay income taxes on the distributions. This would be accomplished by filing Form 1041 and giving individual Schedule K-1s to each beneficiary.
The 1041 is to report income and pay income taxes on estate income, not estate taxes. If the income is passed through to the beneficiaries of the estate, then K-1s are given to those beneficiaries who then report the income on their individual tax returns.
Welcome to Just Answers! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to assist you! I will do my best to help!
You really don't need to get a private letter ruling (PLR). There are already rules in place, and you can use existing PLRs to cover your situation if the fact pattern is similar enough.
If the trust is written to follow strict IRS guidelines commonly known as "see-through" or "conduit" trust rules, the trust can be beneficiary without any big problems. Although the income-tax rates that trusts pay are generally higher than income taxes paid by individuals, your heirs can avoid paying the high trust rate if the trustee can pass all the IRA distributions out to the individual trust beneficiaries. So you need to be sure that, if the trust is named as beneficiary, and the trustee has the latitude to do this, the IRA distributions won't get trapped inside the trust. The beneficiaries can roll them into their own IRAs. That is assuming that the trust was written by an attorney who knows about trusts and IRAs.
If the trust is the beneficiary and does NOT pass the IRA through to the beneficiaries, the trust would have to draw down the IRA in installments every year over the life expectancy of the oldest trust beneficiary.
If the estate does take the distributions from the IRA, it is income to the estate, but the estate gets a deduction for any distributions that it makes. So if the estate drew down $80,000 from the IRA, but turned around and distributed all of the funds to the beneficiaries of the estate, the estate would get a deduction equal to the amount distributed, in this case $80,000. The estate would have no taxable income, and each beneficiary would be taxed at his or her own tax rate. The problem with this is that the distributions might be significant enough to cause the heirs to pay a higher income tax rate on their personal returns. So careful planning to keep everyone happy is a must!
I hope this helps answer your questions! If you have any more, please feel free to ask away! I will be happy to help! If you have found my answer to be helpful, please remember to rate me highly. I would appreciate it!
Again, thanks! Have a great week!
I'm sorry that I didn't respond sooner but I did not have access to a PC.
Some people obtain private letter rulings in order to close the estate rather than to have to continue to make distributions to the estate over a long period and then have those distributions passed through to the beneficiaries. However, in your situation this doesn't seem necessary as the remaining life expectancy is short (which will permit you to close the estate sooner) and the amounts being distributed to each beneficiary are relatively small ($32,500 each) which may not push the beneficiaries into higher tax brackets. The distributions could either be made all this year, or a portion this year with the balance next year.

DasBoot, good choice in the SIG! If you haven't, do shoot the DAK trigger, for it is nice. I prefer it over the double-then-single action transition.
My next purchase will likely be a SIG 229R with DAK trigger.
"It's a big gun when I carry it, it is also a big gun when I take it out Clint Smith
How about a Sig 1911
You're killin' me!How about a Sig 1911
So what's the skinny on SIG 1911s?
I haven't heard them mentioned.
Do they retain the same super up-front reliability as their other models?
Or do they fall into the "let's get to know each other better" realm of 1911s in general?
Step 1: Read here: http://forum.m1911.org/forumdisplay.php?f=28
Step 2: Make your own decision, I honestly have no experience with them.
they look very nice.... (those sig's)
1911's are nice. they arent for everyone. RIA makes a great, reliable, and affordable 1911 that you'll have Zero remorse in adding to your collection, and will let you know if 1911's are "for you". colts are nice, as are springfields. kimber and some others are overhyped, imho. i and alot of instances i know of, prove that the cost has nothing to do with the gun in this case.
Last edited by briansmech; July 28th, 2007 at 08:33 PM. Reason: (those sig's)
pass on the sig 1911 unless you truly want a problem and gun that wont fit your 1911 holsters
Hmmm...the SIG 1911 won't fit the holsters? What about that?
What about SIG 1911 problems? Guess I figured that the SIG rendition was of good quality.
Could be a lemon but I am not taking any chances, they should have stuck with what they know.
That for me is abouyt the only down fall to the 1911. Every company wants to duplicate it but few do a very good job of it.
Train and train hard, you might not get a second chance to make a first impression!
I vote for Monica Lewinsky's Ex-Boyfriend's Wife for President.....Not!
I have owned a few of them over the years, carry them daily, and have competed with them since 1988. First you need to decide whether you want a fighting gun or a pretty gun. If you want a fighting gun, then things stay pretty simple regarding upgrades. The one thing that separates the 1911 from all other fighting pistols is the trigger. If there is one thing John Browning invented on the 1911 platform that left little room for improvement in overall design, it was the trigger mechanism. The rest of the gun can be fitted for combat reliability and accuracy, but if the gun has a superb trigger, that changes everything. Personally, my guns have triggers that break between 3.5 to 4 lbs. I don't worry about the "hair trigger" mentality that some folks have about the trigger being on the light side, because if the weapon comes out I fully intend to use it. A three or four pound trigger isn't going to matter. I can demonstrate my proficiency with my carry guns anytime, so I am not too worried about lawyers or DA's.
As far as accessories go, my primary carry gun (Springfield Champion) does use a guide rod, only because it added a little weight up front and since I use Cor-Bon ammo in it the weight helps. I hard chromed the gun for corrosion and wear resistance, and of course, looks. there are Novak combat sights on top, and the gun has never failed me in practice or match.
I have been to the other extreme of the 1911 world by shooting an IPSC open class gun for about 7 years; it was chambered in .38 super, was a full-house race gun that was a hand built STI, and was 99.5% reliable, the only exception being when I used an extended magazine (big stick), I was rolling the dice. When I got sick of IPSC, I sold the gun and turned the proceeds into my second carry gun, another hard chromed, hand built STI chambered for 9x23 winchester.
This gun too, is flawlessly reliable and accurate enough to hit 4" steel plates at 75 yards. My latest project gun is an STI Spartan, for which I paid $624.79 at a local gun shop. I practiced with it at the range, probably 100 rounds, and then took it to an IDPA match the next weekend, and had no problems.
Now for my point: The 1911's produced today are manufactured with far superior materials than they were even 30 years ago. The problems begin with the human being that puts the parts together; many of the "tricked out" 1911's from other manufacturers are being put together by "assemblers" who are not trained expert gunsmiths. this is usually where a lions' share of the problems arise. yes, the machines make parts with tighter tolerances, hence closer attention must be paid to how the parts go together.My other 1911's have always had the benefit of a Master Pistolsmith's attention. The Spartan, while turning in admirable performances so far, will at least have the trigger set more to my liking around Christmas time. The rest of the gun works just fine. So, for you people wanting to get into a 1911, I say this: When you buy, be mindful of who put it together, because the 1911 platform is like no other. It can give the greatest joy shooting it, or the biggest headaches trying to get one running.
Good luck,
I have owned a number of 1911 platform pistols since the 60s. I am currently down to 5. Colts/Kimbers/Norinco/Charles Daly/Taurus/Springfield/and Argentine models. With the exception of one Ballister Molina and a Springfield, all of mine have been reliable out of the box. 99% of malfunctions can be traced to the magazine or improper lubrication on these pistols. In my experience, most of the people knocking them have never owned one, just quoting the gun store guy, or someone that his brother-in-law knows. I have not found the 1911 to be more problematic than other platforms-------well the Glock might be the exception.
I have owned, shot and carried various brands of the 1911 type pistol off and on for over 35 years. I have had very good "off brand" shooters, and Remington Rand WWII issue pistols and have never had severe problems with any of them, but they are not for everyone, and they are not the "ideal" pistol.
Since you are new to these pistols, I'd buy a RIA or similar inexpensive BASIC MODEL, and learn how it operates and how you are with it. I would not buy a used 1911 unless I could take it apart at least partially and see if it was "improved" by someone.
I like the 1911's, I enjoy shooting them, and I know some basics about them, but I would not use one as my primary carry pistol unless I had some time and experience with it.
There is a lot of myth involved with the 1911, and it's great to be a fan, but they are not the best for everyone by any means.

Citation: Garaulet, M., Lee, Y., Shen, J., Parnell, L.D., Arnett, D.K., Tsai, M.Y., Lai, C., Ordovas, J.M. 2009. Genetic variants in human CLOCK associate with total energy intake and cytokine sleep factors. Human Molecular Genetics. 18(3):364-369. Interpretive Summary: Despite the importance of total energy intake in the regulation of natural circadian (daily) rhythms, no study has examined the influence of food intake measures and variations in the human CLOCK gene, a central component of the circadian system. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate associations of five CLOCK gene variants with food-intake and to explore the particular role of cytokines, specialized cell signalling and activating molecules, in this connection. The five gene variants were assayed in 1100 White American persons for whom dietary intakes were calculated from a validated food frequency questionnaire and for whom five specific cytokine measures were available. Our results indicate that four of the CLOCK gene variants were significantly associated with total energy-intake. For one variant, rs3749474, energy-intake and total fat, protein and carbohydrate intakes were significantly higher in persons carrying the less common version of the variant than in non-carriers. Consistently, the frequency of this less common variant was about 1.33-fold greater in persons with high energy-intake than in those with low intake. In addition, all five CLOCK gene variants analyzed showed significant associations with blood levels of three cytokines that are known to be highly correlated with energy intake: MCP1, IL6 and adiponectin. Interestingly, persons carrying one or two copies of the less common version of variant rs3749474 presented lower levels of the cytokines and this could be related to both decreased appetite and sleep in these persons. In conclusion, we demonstrate the novel association of genetic variation at the CLOCK gene with total energy-intake. Furthermore, this association could be mediated through the alteration of cytokine levels which in turn may influence energy intake and sleep pattern.
Technical Abstract: Despite the importance of total energy intake in circadian system regulation, no study has related human CLOCK gene polymorphisms and food intake measures. The aim of this study was to investigate associations of five CLOCK single-nucleotide-polymorphisms (SNPs) with food-intake and to explore the particular role of the cytokine system in this connection. 1100 individuals, participants in the Genetics of Lipid Lowering Drugs and Diet Network (GOLDN) study, were included. Dietary intake was estimated with a validated questionnaire. IL6, MCP1, TNF, IL2sRalpha and adiponectin plasma concentrations were also measured. Our results showed that four of five CLOCK SNPs selected were significantly associated with total energy-intake (P<0.05). For SNP rs3749474, energy-intake and total fat, protein and carbohydrate intakes (g/day) were significantly higher in minor allele carriers than in non-carriers. Consistently, the frequency of the minor allele was greater in subjects with high energy-intake than in those with low intake. After multivariate adjustment, subjects with minor allele were 1.33 times more likely to have high energy-intake than non-carriers (95% CI 1.09–1.72, P=0.0350). All CLOCK SNPs were associated with plasma cytokine values, in particular with those highly correlated with energy intake: MCP1 (P<0.0001), IL6 (P<0.01) and adiponectin (P<0.0001). Interestingly, minor allele carriers with high energy-intake presented decreased cytokine values, which could be related a lower anorectic effects and decreased sleep in these subjects. Further haplotype analyses supported a significant effect of CLOCK variants on energy-intake (P=0.002) and on plasma-cytokines (P=0.0001). In conclusion, we demonstrate the novel association of genetic variation at CLOCK with total energy intake. Furthermore, the association could be mediated through the alteration of cytokine levels that may influence energy intake and sleep pattern.

It turns out the New York Jets don't believe CB Darrelle Revis is as "fine" as he seemed Sunday.
The team announced Monday the three-time all-pro suffered a "mild concussion" when he was accidentally kicked in the back of the head by LB
Bart Scott
during yesterday's victory over the Buffalo Bills.
A person with knowledge of Revis' condition said after the game that the belief was he did not have a concussion, and that he was "fine." The person said today's diagnosis by team doctors is more of a precautionary measure.
The person requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak about the player's health.
"What I'll say is, with me I'll always lean on our trainers and our doctors," Jets head coach Rex Ryan said. "With any head injury and any injury at all, but especially a head injury, I'm going to err on the side of caution. We'll see how he progresses."
Revis will have to pass all concussion tests before returning to action.
The Jets visit the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.

The 27-year-old Guiza moves to the Istanbul side after having one of the most prolific seasons in all of Europe. In 37 games for Real Mallorca, Guiza scored 27 goals. His output left him in second place in the Golden Shoe standings, behind Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, and helped Real Mallorca to seventh place in La Liga, the team's best finish in eight years. His form also attracted interest from a number of clubs, including Barcelona and Arsenal.
Although Aragones only used Guiza as a substitute during Spain's Euro 2008 campaign, he made it a priority to make the forward his first signing since taking over at the club from Brazilian Zico.
Guiza's move to Turkey is part of a growing trend of Spanish players who are moving abroad to play club soccer. Of the 23-man roster at this past European Championships, six play for a foreign team. English club Liverpool takes the lion's share of this number with four Spanish national team members on its squad.
This number may soon be growing as a host of Spanish players are rumored to be moving from the Iberian Peninsula. David Villa, David Silva, Ruben de la Red and Sergio Ramos have all been the subject of such rumors.

clean rooms, good bed, kitchenette, bikes, pool could hear the live music at the bar a block away. Need to investing in dual pane windows to help block the noise. Also the comforter on the bed was much too heavy and hot.
Nice location. Had late flight and took uber in at midnight. Office cloused but keys were in latech check in location had great night . Only challenge was distance to restraints and times they opened, had planned to walk it most locations up to mile away
The place was very clean and the surroundings peaceful and beautiful as always. Location was perfect, just a few yards from the beach. According to the hotel, Priceline hadn't contacted them about the reservation. It was an awkward moment in which I wasn't sure if there was going to be a room or not.
'Old Florida'. Full of plants and flowers in large, shaded garden, but not 'manicured'. Beds very comfortable, Inn very casual. Wonderful location, just a couple of miles from everything, and walking distance to good, waterfront restaurant. Liked everything. Will be back for longer stay.
An excellent vegan breakfast (I did not even miss bacon)! Friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful outside eating areas with lush flowering gardens. Great to use the plentiful beach gear and bicycles for free! An easy walk to a sparsely populated beach. There was a 5% charge if you paid with a credit card (this was not published anywhere). The upstairs neighbor had 'heavy feet.'
Staff went above and beyond to make me and my husband feel welcome. It was perfect. I would have liked to have a throw blanket in the room, but I'm sure the hotel staff would have found one for me if I had asked.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- A pair of throwers, a sprinter and a multi-eventer have signed national letters of intent to join the University of Tennessee women's track & field program, Lady Vol head coach J.J. Clark announced Monday.
Throwers Aslynn Halvorson of Charlotte, N.C. and Jessie Harrison of Collierville, Tenn., as well as sprinter Kia Jackson of Lithonia, Ga., and Kirstyn Sweeney of Nashville, will be joining the reigning NCAA and SEC Indoor Champion Big Orange in the fall.
"I'm very happy with the recruiting process," Clark said. "We're still not done, but at this moment we have picked up some good throwers. John Frazier (assistant coach for throws) went out and got some student-athletes in Aslynn and Jessie who will bring more talent and depth into our program. They both have great potential in the indoor and outdoor throws. We look forward to having them in orange and getting them into the SEC and NCAA mix down the road.
"In the multi and sprint areas, we have a local product from Tennessee and one from down the road in the Atlanta area. We are trying to be diverse and have youngsters in every area who can score so that we can have a balanced attack. That's what Kirstyn brings with her abilities in several areas, and Kia is able to help us in the sprints and jumps. We are very fortunate to have these young ladies commit to the Big Orange, and we look forward to big things in the future."
Halvorson is a product of David W. Butler High School in Matthews, N.C., where she owns personal records of 155 feet, eight inches in the discus, 53-9 1/4 in the weight throw and 44-9 in the shot put. She came up big last season at the prestigious Nike Outdoor Nationals meet, winning the discus with a fling of 154-2 1/2. She also carded a sixth-place effort in the shot with her 44-9 PR. Just a couple of weeks ago, she charted that weight throw PR at the Nike Indoor Nationals to place fourth. She also took fourth in the shot at 42-2.
For Butler High, Halvorson swept the shot and discus at the 2008 NCHSAA 4A State Championships, recording tosses of 42-4 and 139-10, respectively. On Feb. 14, 2009, she charted a runner-up finish at the NCHSAA 4A Indoor State Championships with a heave of 41-7 in the shot after winning the event in 2008. During her career, she has thus far earned 10 all-state honors, including four indoors in the shot and three apiece outdoors in the shot and discus.
Harrison, meanwhile, competes for Houston High School in Germantown, Tenn., and has career bests of 136-9 1/2 in the discus and 36-8 1/4 in the shot. After winning the discus at the 2008 TSSAA State Track & Field Championships with a toss of 131-8, she traveled to Nike Outdoor Nationals and came away with an eighth-place result after improving her measurement to 134-1 3/4. She finished 16th at the state meet in the shot at 31-0 1/2. Entering her senior campaign, she has been a state finalist in the shot and discus every season.
Additionally, Harrison won regional discus titles in 2007 and 2008, was named to the All-Metro Best of the Preps squad from 2006 to 2008 and spent two seasons playing basketball for her school.
Jackson hails from Southwest DeKalb High School in Decatur, Ga., where she was a five-time state champ and two-time state runner-up in the sprint relays and individual short sprints, respectively. She was a member of state winners in the 4x100m from 2006 to 2008 and in the 4x400m in 2006 and 2008. She claimed state runner-up honors in the 100 and 200 meters in 2008, running a PR of 11.75 in the straight sprint prelims and 24.51 in the finals of the half-lapper.
Jackson also has personal bests of 7.32 in the 55m, 7.70 in the 60m, 24.14 in the 200m and 18-9 in the long jump. Last summer, she finished sixth in the 100m at the Nike Outdoor Nationals in 12.01 and placed seventh in the 200m in 24.76.
At Nashville's David Lipscomb High School, Sweeney was the 2007 champion and 2008 runner-up in the pentathlon at the Tennessee A-AA State Championship Meet with a personal-best score of 2,986 in 2008. She was the state runner-up in the 300m hurdles in 2008 and the runner-up in the pole vault in 2007, with career bests in those events at 46.59 and 9-6, respectively. She also is credited with region titles in the pentathlon in 2007 and 2008, in the pole vault in 2007 and the 300m hurdles in 2008. Most recently, she was 12th at the Nike Indoor Nationals meet with a score of 2944 in the pentathlon.
Sweeney's numbers don't tell the whole story, though, about an athlete who has recorded marks in 15 different events and can cover hurdles, sprints, jumps, throws, pole vault, multis and distance, including cross country. She also played a little basketball and soccer before confining her focus to track and cross country.

Jealousy brings downfall of long-term friends
Saturday 26th January, 2013 - Nottingham Playhouse
By Dawn Bond
Nottingham Playhouse is celebrating its 50th anniversary and the first production of the milestone year — Alan Ayckbourn's Joking Apart — is simply world-class.
It is the first time in 12 years the theatre has staged an Ayckbourn play, and it could not come soon enough.
The black comedy centres around a successful couple, Anthea and Richard, over a 12-year period, and their jealous friends who are brought down one by one by envy.
It is set in the couple's garden where there is a tennis court, summer house, tree with swing and a large lawn, wonderfully designed by Tom Rogers.
Directed by Lucy Pitman-Wallace at a steady pace, it starts on Bonfire Night in 1966. Emily Pithon plays Anthea, a bubbly loved-up young woman who has two children from a failed marriage, but is happy to live in sin with her new partner, Richard.
Played by a tall, dark and handsome Robert Curtis, he is a successful businessman who wants for nothing.
Richard and Anthea spoil their children and are always willing to help their friends and neighbours.
Enter friends Sven and Olive, wonderfully played by Thorston Manderlay and Natasha Byrne.
Sven is jealous that Richard, his business partner, seems to be able to run things better than him. Olive is jealous that Anthea can eat anything and stay thin, while she gets fatter and fatter.
Anthea's friend Brian (Will Barton) cannot move on with his life as he carries a torch for her. Despite having a string of girlfriends — Melody, Mandy and Mo, played by Katie Brayben — nothing ever happens and they dump him.
The last couple are Hugh and Louise, a dishy vicar and his highly-strung wife. Hugh is played in a dithering manner by Edward Harrison. His life goes from bad to worse when he realises he is in love with Anthea.
Meanwhile Louise, excellently played by Sally Scott, suffers a mental breakdown as she finds it hard to cope with having a son who does not speak to her and a husband who wants to spend all his time with the neighbours instead of her.
Although the comedy is not full of belly laughs, it is a fine observational piece about life and relationships.
It is on until February 16 and is well worth seeing — DAB.

Sure, but exclusions don't do the trick if you need both of them, do they? I am talking about completely independent libraries that happen to have the same artifactId.

|Convergence Insufficiency
Share |
Convergence is the coordinated movement and focus of our two eyes inward on close objects, including phones, tablets, computers, and books.
Convergence is one of many Vital Visual Skills learned during our early years, and Convergence Insufficiency is a common problem with the development of these skills. When convergernce is insufficient, it means that the eyes do not come together closely enough when looking at a near object, so the eyes are essentially looking "past" the target focal point.
When we are not able to converge our eyes easily and accurately, problems may develop, such as:
Eye coordination problems like convergence insufficiency generally cannot be improved with eye glasses or surgery. A program of Vision Therapy may be needed to improve eye coordination abilities and reduce symptoms and discomfort when doing close work.
The American Optometric Association and the 2008 Convergence Insufficiency Treatment Trial clearly support the superiority of office-based vision therapy, supplemented by at-home vision therapy, for treatment of convergence insufficiency.
Locate a Doctor in your area who is experienced and knowledgeable in diagnosing and treating convergence insufficiency.
The Convergence Insufficiency Treatment Trial - Attention and Reading Trial (CITT-ART) Study is a currently ongoing study designed to determine whether office-based vision therapy improves reading and attention in children who have symptomatic convergence insufficiency.
The studyis currently looking for participants throughout the United States, and your child's participation could help further the field of vision therapy!

Semi-detached with boxy windows, the houses on the road between Hillingdon Tube station and Oak Farm library look alike. All except for the religious icons displayed in the windows. There are Hindu gods, round Buddhas and a crucifix. On my walk along the road I stop a man to ask for directions. He is smiley but cannot help. "I've only been two weeks here from Romania." He is 31, called Marius Horeon, and his English is good. "I had English lessons for two years at school, then I learned by myself from movies. It's not that hard when you want to. I am an engineer at home but have come to England to find better work. My friend has been here for two years and married a Pakistani woman he met here. I am staying with them. In five or so years I'll go back home."
The penultimate stop on the Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines, Hillingdon is the second-largest London borough by area after Bromley, and with 800 acres of green space it has an almost countryside feel. In a population of 273,936, according to statistics from the 2011 Census, published yesterday, all 107 languages defined by the Census are spoken here, from Armenian to Zulu, by people aged three and above.
Hillingdon is the most diverse borough in London but multilingual areas are becoming the norm. Greater London is the area with the fastest population growth in the country and the number of people in Hillingdon rose by 11.5 per cent between 2001 and 2011, 4.4 per cent more than the England and Wales mean of 7.1 per cent. Only three London boroughs have fewer than 100 languages spoken in them — the City, Richmond and Havering.
Compared with Newham — where 104 languages are spoken, the bustling streets are dotted with Polish shops and mosques and nine per cent of people can't speak English — sleepy Hillingdon feels like stereotypical suburbia. Lots of people commute into central London but the largest employer in the area is Heathrow Airport, a 15-minute drive away. Marius Horeon came here via Heathrow and the airport's proximity is a "quirk" that Hillingdon council says lends such an astonishing variety of languages to the borough. The council also cites a large Gurkha community. Birmingham and its large immigrant community are accessible on the nearby A40 and M40.
In the north of the borough, near Denham Aerodrome, where the wealthy learn to fly, it's all long leafy roads of big houses with shiny cars in the drives and one smart corner shop selling Lindt chocolate for £10 a box. You need to drive or get two buses to go further south, to Hayes, where it gets busier, with the usual proliferation of kebab shops.
Carolyn Green, 33, grew up in the borough and works at a primary school here. She has recently had to start learning Polish so she can communicate with her pupils. "Eighty per cent of our children speak English as a second language. In the nursery there are 10 languages in a class of 50. In the rest of the school there are around 40 different nationalities. It's hard."
This September, lots of children started who had only been in England for a few days. "Communication is difficult at the beginning and takes a lot of time. They talk to us in their language. I've had to learn essential Polish words like toilet, sit down, stop. The kids were shocked when they heard me saying them. We get parents to write down words but often they don't speak English either." The school has two members of staff who teach English as an additional language (EAL) and run lessons for parents too. "The kids pick up English quickly. One boy couldn't say a word in September but now doesn't stop talking in English. Some have to be coaxed more. There are two girls who just chatter away to each other in Arabic, not speaking to us. Other schools get better Ofsted reports but we're coming up against so much. A lot of the children are fleeing terrible conditions."
In Oak Farm library all the English-language learning books have been taken out and the council-run English courses are always busy.
At her school in Hillingdon, Green's daughter, Lucy Barratt, seven, has just learned a South African song. She reels off an endless list of all the nationalities in her class. "My best friend is Filipino and my teacher is French. I can say bon matin, bonjour, bonsoir. We had a picnic last week with food from all over the world." Barratt doesn't know where she would like to live when she grows up, although she says she likes Lapland and Spain.
But it wasn't always like this."I grew up here and there was one black boy in my class," says Jennie Harker, a 36-year-old nurse. "The rest were English and Irish. Now look at it, it's great. We have lots of shops selling food from all over the world. It's good for kids to see a mixed population. My friends who live here say it's nicer than central London, and houses are cheaper. Lots of Polish people are attracted to the area near the Catholic school."
While all these languages can present challenges, they offer wonderful opportunities, says Dr Peter Skrandies, of the linguistics department at the London School of Economics. "There is great linguistic expertise in London. While we do need more interpreters there's nothing to back up arguments that the quality of English is in decline. Language is an asset. India, for example is a big market, so speaking Hindi or Urdu is useful for the economy. I hope there will be more language learning. It's easier to pick up languages [when you're] young, but if you have motivation it's possible any time."
Although Hillingdon has become more international, London has always been multilingual. "English is probably unique in that it has incorporated so many new words," says Dr Skrandies. "This process might have increased because Great Britain is such an international country. If there's a gap in English, a word can catch on, like uber, or kindergarten. It's yet to be seen how Polish, which is currently the second biggest language in London, will cross over."
On the bus going back down the high street I hear at least three different languages being spoken. I get talking to a group of boys aged 15 and 16. "Ghanaians run this town," one of them jokes gesturing at his friends. "Look, only one of us here is white." At the end of Long Lane there's a funeral home with a sign offering repatriation. They tell me the Philippines and Nigeria are the most common countries they send bodies to — it's a popular service.
Two doors along at Greggs, a woman working there tells me that although she was born near here she has one colleague from Burma and another from Sierra Leone, both with excellent English. A man walks in to buy a pasty, his "favourite treat". His name is Richard Falaki. He is 42, moved here from Nigeria 10 years ago and tells me he has just come back from playing football with men from Pakistan, Ghana, Poland and Manchester. "Just look around, there are people from all over. That's what we're used to here. We get by."Reuse content

Investors sour on Canadian banks ahead of earnings
By Euan Rocha and John Tilak
TORONTO (Reuters) - Investor sentiment in Canadian banks has begun to sour ahead of earnings this week as short interest positions in the stocks have jumped and analysts have begun to get increasingly skittish about their prospects in a weakening Canadian economy.
Canadian financials have been the worst performing among the 10 major sectors on the benchmark stock index year-to-date and the sector has fallen nearly 5 percent in the last three months. Some investors now fear that the banks, a major component of the financial sector, could be in for more pain.
"The Canadian banking sector is under pressure due to tight net interest margins and slowing loan growth. When you look at the amount of leverage banks have on their balance sheets, they are a bit at risk right now," said Kevin Headland, director of capital markets & strategy at Manulife Asset Management.
Canada's three largest banks Royal Bank of Canada (RY.TO: Quote), Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD.TO: Quote) and Bank of Nova Scotia (BNS.TO: Quote), are among the top 20 most shorted stocks in Canada based on the latest Toronto Stock Exchange data released mid-February. Bank of Montreal (BMO.TO: Quote), the No. 4 player, saw short positions in its stock jump significantly in the first two weeks of February.
U.S. short interest data on the banks paints a similar picture with short interest positions in Canada's largest bank, RBC having risen 47.5 percent over year-ago levels. In that same period, short interest positions in its rivals TD, Scotia, BMO and CIBC (CM.TO: Quote), have risen 82 percent, 42 percent, 41 percent, and 62 percent, respectively.
The pullback in oil prices, coupled with weak manufacturing data caused the Canadian economy to unexpectedly shrink by 0.2 percent in November. This has prompted speculation that the Bank of Canada will cut interest rates in March for the second time in six weeks.
After the central bank's 25 basis point rate cut in January, Canadian banks reluctantly cut their prime lending rates by 15 basis points. By not passing on the full rate cut to borrowers, the banks are trying to protect their net interest margins and safeguard profits.
Despite this, Macquarie analyst Jason Bilodeau warned last week that the bank's results are unlikely to offer much in terms of positive news. Continued...


text: Chennai: Having been declared unfit for the triangular One-day series in South Africa, speedster Zaheer Khan and batsman Hemang Badani on Tuesday started getting ready for the Test series in November while Ashish Nehra claimed that he had cleared the fitness test despite BCCI putting him on a watch-list.[an error occurred while processing this directive]"It is rather unfortunate that I am not making it to the tour. Since it is only a minor problem as stated by sports medicine expert Dr Anant Joshi, I should be fully fit well before they pick the team for the Test series," Zaheer, who isrecovering from a shin injury, said.Badani, who had made it to the squad only on Monday after middle-order batsman V V S Laxman was declared unfit, too said he was hoping to get into the Test side."I am not lucky but I will strive to recover from the injury faster and get ready for the Test series," he said. Badani had injured his back while fielding in the final of the Moin-ud-Dowla Cup cricket tournament on Sunday and ascan on Tuesday morning revealed he had sustained a stress fracture.Nehra, who has been kept on watch and would have to clear another fitness test on Saturday, claimed that he was fully fit and had passed Tuesday's tests."I have passed the fitness test. I will do my best for my country. Dennis Lillee has advised me on various things and I will be putting them into action to perform better," he said.However, BCCI sources maintained that Nehra, who is suffering from a groin injury, was yet to get the final nod and he would have to prove his fitness on Saturday. Nehra said Saturday's tests were mandatory for every member of the squad and he would not have any problems in proving his fitness. "Everybody has to undergo fitness test in Mumbai on September 22 and 23 prior to the team's departure to South Africa. I will not have problems to pass the final test. It is not a major thing. I have no problem in running and throwing," Nehra claimed.Lillee was seen explaining to Nehra as to why the bowler is getting groin injury and what he should do to avoid recurrence of such problems. But, Nehra said, "It is difficult to say as to how cricketers get injuries." PTI

Wow, I get a couple hours of sleep (midnight shift) and already two pages of response. Definately a friendly lot here!
As for the .380 w have been eyeballing the Walther PPK just because its a well made and reliable weapon. I wouldn't mind her winding up with a 9mm or even a .45 but again it will be up to her once she has a better idea about how to shoot and why. I'm sure I'll be back here once she starts to narrow down her choices.
As far as where, I have been going to Top Gun in Taylor. The prices are about what I expected, the CZ ran a few dollars more than I found it for online, but being able to get my hands on it right now was worth it. Plus I get a few months of free range time for getting a gun through them.

It's fairly common knowledge that stress is not good for your health. Have you ever thought about how stress can affect your performance at work? Stress on top of being bad for your health, can also be bad for the bottom line of your business. When our bodies are stressed, they send out hormones that can actually damage and kill brain cells. Stress can really have an effect on overall productivity on the job as well as making us ineffective during work hours. Stress costs U.S. companies nearly $300 billion each year. That is too big of a number to simply ignore.
The reasons for job related stress are many. EnMast has outlined some of the main factors of stress in the workplace in the Infographic seen below. They also offer suggestions for changes you make within your company to try and eliminate stress level among your employees. Have you dealt with high levels of stress in your workplace? Did you find they caused similar issues and loss? Were you able to resolve stress in the workplace, or is it still present?

Post implementation reviews - A means of applying knowledge: lessons from a failed project
Jewels, Tony J., Baker, Jason L., & Underwood, Alan D. (2003) Post implementation reviews - A means of applying knowledge: lessons from a failed project. In Australasian Conference on Information Systems, 26-28th November, Perth W.A..
One of the defining properties of a project is that it has a definite start and a definite end, yet perceiving IT projects autonomously may actually contribute to their suggested low rates of success. A post implementation review (PIR) empowers us to make better decisions in future projects by using the lessons learnt from another. The process by which these lessons are captured might be described as a practical application of knowledge management (KM) principles. Using the experiences gained from a failed multi-national IT project, we will discuss how project knowledge can be captured and incorporated for use within a post implementation review, in order to increase the likelihood of success in future projects.

Another fine article by Peggy Fletcher Stack ("Mormons join Hawaii's gay marriage fight, but with a new approach" (Tribune, Sept. 18). I wonder why the church feels it is important to lobby for religious liberty in the proposed legislation on same-sex marriage in Hawaii.
Doesn't the First Amendment's "free exercise of religion" guarantee protect the churches? Can you imagine the government of Hawaii or anywhere else in the United States requiring the Roman Catholic, Southern Baptist, or the LDS Church to conduct same-sex marriages?

It was the rematch for which Canada had hungered, this time in a sold-out home stadium packed with Canadian fans re-living the emotional Olympic semi-final between the two North American foes last August. But it didn't have the same gripping drama. For 68 minutes on Sunday, the home team held off the top-ranked Americans. But then stunning U.S. star Alex Morgan broke loose, once again spoiling Canada's dreams.
The Canadian and American women's soccer teams met in an exhibition match at Toronto's BMO Field on Sunday for the first time since Canada nearly pulled off one of the greatest upsets in Olympic soccer history last summer. Team Canada's goal in the friendly was to stifle the hot two American scorers – Morgan and Abby Wambach. That worked for about two thirds of the game, and Canada lost steam. Morgan, the very player who had scored the winning goal to top Canada at the Olympics, finally broke loose and scored two goals. Canadian-born U.S. player Sydney Leroux added another, and popped her American jersey at fans who booed her, and the U.S triumphed 3-0.
"We got a little sloppy as fatigue set in and things opened up," said Canada manager John Herdman. "We got punished exactly as we thought we would."
The Canadian women's team entered the contest with a less-than-sterling record versus the U.S., currently the top-ranked team in the world. They had won just three of 52 meetings with the U.S dating back to 1986, the last a 3-0 win at the Algarve Cup back in 2001.
Yet, fuelled by the emotions that lingered from last August, the heart-breaking memories of controversial late-game calls from the Norwegian referee that served to frame that contest, it made one wonder if Canada would win this friendly. Maybe the momentum was there, maybe the frenzied setting could help – at home with the CN Tower standing in view, packed with fans in red and white, teams of fanatic cheering girls decked in soccer uniforms, banging their thunder-sticks wildly.
Canada kept the Americans scoreless through the first half. Every time the U.S. goalkeeper held the ball, the fanatic Canadian crowd would count the seconds aloud until she got rid of it, just as Wambach had done in earshot of the referee on that memorable night at the Olympics, which kicked off a chain of calls that lead to the equalizing American goal.
Herdman was tickled by it, joking that had the Norwegian official been working the game, Canada might have had about 20 free kicks off goalkeeper time-wasting whistles.
Every time Christine Sinclair even approached the box in front of the U.S. net on Sunday, the stadium erupted in the deafening screams of adoring young girls, memories of Sinclair's heroic three-goal night against the Americans at the Olympics dancing in their minds. But she would be kept scoreless, the top target of American defenders.
"For about 70 minutes, we really didn't give them any chances. In the first half, they literally created nothing against us, and I think that's the first time we've shut them out like that," said Sinclair. "But we've got about 20 minutes where we have to close the gap."
Canada's defenders held strong for a long while. Carmelina Moscato, Emily Zurrer, Lauren Sesselmann and especially 17-year-old newcomer Kadeisha Buchanan banded together to thwart several scoring attempts, most dramatically a charging Morgan barrelling toward the net. Herdman beamed about the talented young Buchanan and her future.
"She's unbelievable, she owned Abby Wambach today," Herdman said. "A 17-year-old kid came out here and did an unbelievable job. We're proud of her."
Buchanan, who is perhaps even more soft-spoken and shy than the veteran captain Sinclair, humbly took questions from a throng of press after her debut with the senior team.
"The feedback is positive, yeah, but I think I have to keep doing what I do," said Buchanan.
Wambach too was impressed.
"She's great, and I have a big bruise on my foot from today to prove it," Wambach said. "She's 17, which proved how the progression of soccer is going in Canada. I'm proud that this is a rivalry. Not too long ago we weren't looking forward to these games [versus Canada], but now we are, and now it gets a sold-out crowd."
Herdman said his players ran out of steam midway through the second half, and when his stars had to come off the field, he doesn't yet have the quality in depth needed to replace them. The U.S. has scored an average of three goals a game versus Canada, and they repeated that today, which disappointed him. But he's elated for Canada's chances at home at the 2015 Women's World Cup.
"I'm going to do what I can to get every inch and ounce out of these players in the next two, three years I have," said Herdman. "But those girls gave you their best today."Report Typo/Error

Agassi wows 'em
He's the main attraction at Bryan Brothers' All-Star Tennis Smash
Andre Agassi can work a tennis racket, and he can work a crowd, too.
On a sunny Saturday afternoon, when some of the top names in professional tennis took center court at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks for the Bryan Brothers' All-Star Tennis Smash, it was the retired Agassi who thrilled the crowd with his youthful enthusiasm, well-placed humor and powerful play.
The event, hosted by the world's top-ranked doubles team of Bob and Mike Bryan, both Camarillo residents, benefited local and national charities, including City Impact, a nonprofit organization which assists Ventura County youths.
Agassi, playing in his first event of the year, was the headliner on a card that also featured world No. 10 James Blake, Lindsay Davenport, Justin Gimelstob, Robbie Ginepri and Paul Goldstein.
"It was a beautiful day," said Bob Bryan as he signed autographs afterward. "I'm really happy with the turnout. I love that Andre came. He made a big difference and even played a little singles, which we didn't expect him to do. He was a big hit."
The first action of the day featured Agassi and Mike Bryan taking on Blake and Ginepri in an eight-game pro-set match.
Agassi and Mike Bryan built a 6-2 advantage before Blake and Ginepri narrowed the gap to 7-6. When a Ginepri return went long shortly thereafter, Agassi and Mike Bryan were victorious, 8-6.
The real winners, however, were the charities. After the first match, Blake auctioned the shirt off his back for $1,500. Ginepri's racket went for $1,200.
Before taking the court, Ginepri praised the Bryans for their efforts.
"So far, this is one of the best charity events I've been to," said Ginepri, the world's 64th-ranked men's player. "I'd give it a 10."
Agassi and Mike Bryan teamed up again in the second match to face Gimelstob and Goldstein, but when Gimelstob's back flared up and he hobbled off the court, Agassi and Goldstein finished with a bit of singles play.
Agassi won, 7-5.
Afterward, Agassi auctioned off his racket for $5,000. A pair of oversized tennis balls signed by the players fetched $1,500 apiece.
"I want to thank (Gimelstob) for making me feel so young today," Agassi joked to the crowd. "That's what I get to look forward to, I guess. . . .
"It is so great to be here. I really miss all the people in this game, all those that I've grown so close with over the years. To have one day where I could come out and see everyone again, it does mean a lot to me, and it's great to be here."
The day's final match featured Davenport and actress Kaley Cuoco of "8 Simple Rules" fame taking on Mike Bryan and funnyman/actor Jon Lovitz.
Before the match, Davenport, who owns a home in Ventura County, said she'd probably throttle back a bit on the celebrities, although firing a fastball at Lovitz was still in the back of her mind, she added.
"You have to scale back a little bit," Davenport said. "That would be like if we went on stage to sing with a rock band—they wouldn't be expecting much. Still, you want to make good points and have fun with it."
Lovitz and Mike Bryan won the match, 6-2.
According to the Bryan Brothers Foundation, the entire event, which was the first of its kind for the Foundation and also featured a gala and dinner to honor Agassi, raised more than $100,000 for charity.
Bob Bryan said he was blown away with how well the inaugural event went.
"When you have Andre, that adds a lot of pop," Bob Bryan said. "It might be a bit downhill from here after getting one of the greatest players of all time in the first year, but we're really looking forward to doing it again."

This is a really happy day for all of us--and our other cat-loving neighbors--cause Mom FINALLY trapped the Monster Cat who's been coming into our yard for about a year and picking fights with anyone who's around.
Each of us, except Erns who lives inside, has been to the vet once or twice with bites that have gotten infected...and all from this unneutered bullyboy.
Mom lured him into the cage with some crunchies, and this morning he went to the city pound, where we hope he will be fixed and find a family that will take care of him and make him want to behave. She also caught us in that cage, too (but only once each)...and she got a opossum one night, too!

Jennifer Lawrence Graces Hometown with a Familiar Voice
You know the old saying, you can take the girl out of her hometown, but you can't take the hometown out of the girl? Well Jennifer Lawrence is a prime example of the phrase as she lends her voice to the University of Louisville.
The Oscar-winning actress is the narrator of a minute-long video posted at MeettheCards.com to inform fans about the athletic programs move to the Atlantic Coast Conference from the America Athletic Conference.
Starting off the clip, Jen's recognizable voice states, "I grew up in the Derby City, home to a proud and storied university, filled with rich athletic tradition and packed with fans who are as loyal and passionate as any in college sports."
"This region and these people live and breathe the Cardinals. The 'L' is the sign that connects all of us to one strong and united Card Nation. Now the next chapter of Louisville athletics is upon us as we join the prestigious ACC and prepare to face some of history's most accomplished and elite collegiate programs."
The ultimate message is to get fans and students ready for another year of stiff competition from all of the school's teams. Jen sums up the clip by stating, "Let's do this."
The Cardinals officially move to the new conference today (July 2), seven months after officials agreed on a deal.

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/5570722 Does Lenny Kravitz party in Canada?
NFL backs don't translate well to the CFL. There is less of a premium on power and more demand for cutting, slashing, changing directions, receiving. Barry would have been the greatest player in the history of Pro Football if he played in the CFL. Williams? I hope he enjoys his $100k Canadian salary.

James H.wrote a review of Inno Racks Shadow 16cft Cargo Box on December 16, 2011
Perfect Fit
Just mounted the Shadow 16 INNO box on my 2011 Grand Cherokee. The fit is perfect and the look is much cleaner than pictures I've seen of the comparable Yakima box. This box seems to be very well designed and made.
I've utilized Thule's Rapid Podium base mounted to the factory rails then topped with the Thule Aero bars. It all fits and functions well with no wind noise.
Using the factory roof rails, the span between the Thule Aero Bars is 31". At full span the box does touch the factory antenna but interference is very minimal. I've set the box slightly off center on the roof to minimize this issue. One could set the Aero bars at 29" apart (move the rear rail and the box forward) and thus avoid the antenna.

Tall enough for water bottles. My 87yr old friend needs help getting a drink while in bed ,and the bend expands much more than regular straws. It has been a great help!
|by KBA312

I looked and looked for extra long straws for a tall water bottle. These work! They stretch out to be just long enough for you to bend the flexy part into a "hook" so your straw doesn't drown in your water bottle. I use, wash, and re-use about one straw a week, so these should last awhile!

So, for the last few months we've been testing, testing, testing away in the Fairytale Brownies Test Kitchen! Blondies are on the horizon, to be introduced this coming Fall. . . . . . .
The process that goes into developing and introducing a new product can be quite long. We typically start a year in advance, which sometimes isn't long enough (depending on what the product is). In this case, we worked off some previous recipes we had stored away in the trove of Fairytale Brownies secrets. We worked on developing new flavors, Raspberry White Chocolate and Cheesecake, along with improving some of our previous flavors, Pecan and Chocolate Chip. I'll be the first to admit, they are quite yummy!
The products must be completed in time for the catalog photo shoot, which is this May, and also in time for packaging development, which is currently in process. I'm always giddy when we beat our deadlines, and believe me, it can sometimes be extremely hard to do. Things don't always go right in the kitchen, baking is a science and I'm certainly no scientist. There is a lot of testing and tweaking of recipes, bake times, ingredient ratios. . . the list goes on and on. We start off in our small test kitchen and then move into the main kitchen and baking full batches. There's always some adjusting that has to take place at this point in the process, baking a pan of 20 pieces is quite different than baking a batch of 720 pieces. I'm thrilled to say we're right on target - yippee!!
Now, not only can you look forward to more gourmet fudgy brownies, cookies and truffles from Fairytale Brownies, but you can also look forward to delectable blondies in four sublime flavors! We'll also have some beautiful new gift packages to select from, all custom designed in-house by our talented graphic design team.

Flip it all. See the things in the back. Or find a new pattern then look for the color you want.
I agree with some of the prior comments, KP needs to actually knit something! I can't remember the last time she started a project! perhaps she should do a blanket or a nice pair of socks!

Deserts (edition 1999)
by Gail Gibbons
Work details
Deserts by Gail Gibbons
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is book read by my son in his school and I can say that he did learned a lot from it illustrating the nature flora and fauna. In the eyes of the children they do enjoy the pictures on it and at the same time the well written description of plants and animals that every children will be able to fathom at an early age. This has been a great guide to the kids a ease of help for mothers and teachers as well.
This book was filled with a lot of very interesting facts, with great labeled drawings. It did not, however, have an obvious progression from page to page. The book unfortunately misuses the term "poisonous." A snake is venomous if its bite has toxic venom. A poisonous snake would be dangerous to eat. One can eat the meat of a venomous snake, amusing one does not eat the venom. Also, the juxtaposition of specific plant and animal information, while not geographically specified, and the overly broad generalization of nomadic people living in "tribes," was off putting and disappointing. The second to last page discuss mining and drilling as positive, while the opposite and last page summarize the beauty and vibrance of the life in the desert. There was no mention of the need for preservation, explicitly or implicitly.
Talks about all the different types of desserts in the world, how to classify them, and shows a map where they are located. Identifies the different plant life found in desserts, formations formed there, and what type of animal/insects/reptiles you can find there. It briefly touches on the people who live in desserts and what type of resources can be found there as well...very briefly.
As embarrassing as it is, I learned for the first time that the classification of a desert has nothing to do with sand, it's actually based on how much rainfall there is there in one year. So, knowing this, I learned that places like Antarctica are deserts too! I think it's safe to say I not only benefited from Gail Gibbons wonderful illustrations, but also the new information.

I am a 30 year old that was a previous 36 B cup with 2 children, One was 10 years old and when I chose to have the procedure I had my second child 3 months earlier. My breasts of course were engorged but once they went down I was unhappy with the shape and look of them. I no longer had the petite body though the majority of my weight was due to the recent pregnancy and was mainly in my abdomen. I felt that after time and exercise the baby weight comes off but at my age my breasts were not going to become perky or of proper shape again. My goal was to have my breasts match my build and look natural at the same time. I chose 450cc silicone implants with a submuscular placement and under breast incisions. Dr. Scott was very open during discussion on what each type of implant and size could possibly result in and we were both very comfortable with the chosen implants.
When I went for the procedure Dr. Scott was very positive with an awesome bedside manner that reassured my decisions. Once I returned to recovery I was met by Dr. Scott and told about all of the procedure detail, everything went perfectly. I felt like he was very proud of his work and wanted the results to be of the highest quality, and they were PERFECT! His incisions were perfectly placed and of the highest quality. They healed quickly with no problems and will not show when wearing a bikini or bra. During the first week of healing I had a concern on the weekend about a pain in the middle of my chest and he called me within 5 minutes to talk about my concerns. I have never had a physician respond so quickly and was reassured that I could call him anytime, any day. The pains ended up being the muscles spreading due to the weight, which was completely normal. Now that they have dropped into normal placement I have amazing cleavage and perfect shape to my breasts. I have ended up with 34 DD. He helped me to find the ideal size and shape for my body and I could not be more ecstatic over the results. If I ever had to go again for any procedure or had anyone I know interested in getting plastic surgery I would refer them to Dr. Scott for anything needed. I don't think I could have chosen a better surgeon and have actually suggested to family members out of state to consider Dr. Scott. I am extremely satisfied and proud to have these amazing breasts... best decision I could have made. Even though I am still working off the baby weight, I feel sexy and have none of the post partum self esteem issues that many do end up with. They match me perfectly and will be even better when I am back to my regular size.
