BMW M6 Gran Coupe Makes History as the 9 Millionth Car Produced at Dingolfing Factoryby Mark Jurista on February 17, 2014 at 04:48:00 PM
BMW had one more milestone achievement recently when a BMW M6 Gran Coupe rolled of the production line at their Dingolfing plant marking 9 million cars produced at that facility.
The BMW 6 Series has a long tradition at the Dingolfing site: In summer 1978, the plant started to manufacture the BMW 635 CSi, to be complemented only a short time later by the BMW M635 CSi. It only seems appropriate that the M6 Gran Coupe gets to be the anniversary car produced.

PITTSBURGH -- The Colorado Rockies took a big early lead over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday night and almost let it slip away.
"But we didn't," manager Clint Hurdle said after the Rockies held on for a 10-8 victory after losing most of a 9-1 lead. "We won a ballgame. We did what we had to do when we needed to do it."
Matt Holliday drove in three runs for the Rockies, who entered the game having lost three of four.
All but one of the game's 18 runs scored in the first five innings, and there were five errors and a major league record-tying five sacrifice flies.
"This is a big win," said Willy Taveras, who scored three runs while playing for the first time in eight days due to a strained right quadriceps. "Especially considering we scored so many runs early and they were able to come back, it's a real big win for us."
Starters John Van Benschoten of Pittsburgh and Taylor Buchholz of Colorado pitched a combined six innings and gave up 15 runs.
The only starters on either team not to get a hit were Rockies second baseman Kazuo Matsui and Van Benschoten, who did not have an official at-bat.
"We almost coughed up an eight-run lead, but they weren't going to let it happen," Hurdle said.
Ryan Doumit had two hits and two RBI for Pittsburgh, which has lost four straight.
Things got out of hand quickly for Van Benschoten (0-4), who has made six starts since being recalled on June 16.
"When it goes bad, it goes bad," said Van Benschoten, whose ERA rose to 8.17.
Colorado's five-run first inning included an RBI double by Holliday, a bases loaded walk to Brad Hawpe, a two-run single by Troy Tulowitzki and a run-scoring groundout by Yorvit Torrealba.
The Rockies added a run in the second on a sacrifice fly by Holliday. Colorado scored three in the third, one off Van Benschoten and two off reliever Tony Armas.
Van Benschoten allowed nine earned runs, six hits and two walks in two-plus innings.
The Pirates scored the next seven runs.
"If you look at this game, it's a tough loss to take, but at the same time, you take the positives out of it and the fact that we swung the bats," Pittsburgh's Jack Wilson said.
The Pirates got three runs in the third on RBI singles by Doumit, Jason Bay and Wilson that cut Colorado's lead to 9-4. Sacrifice flies by Adam LaRoche and Xavier Nady in the fourth made it a three-run game and the Pirates got within 9-8 in the fifth against Matt Herges on pinch-hitter Matt Kata's RBI single and a suicide squeeze bunt by Nate McLouth.
Despite being handed the eight-run lead, Buchholz could not earn the win. He allowed six runs -- four earned -- in four innings, striking out five and walking one.
"I really felt rusty tonight," said Buchholz, who was making his first start since June 1 after being demoted to the bullpen. "I could never get that rhythm that I've had coming out of the bullpen."
Holliday gave the Rockies a 10-8 lead with another sacrifice fly, the Rockies' third of the game, in the sixth.
The Pirates put two men on in both the sixth and seventh innings. LaTroy Hawkins (1-4), who was awarded the win by official scorer Tony Krizmanich, ended the first threat by getting Bay to ground into a double play.
"A lot of times, that's when you win the game, the sixth or seventh inning," said Hawkins, who did not find out he got the win until a teammate told him while he was in the shower.
Manuel Corpas worked the ninth for his second save.
"It's all about winning in the end and we did that tonight," Buchholz said. "It was closer than it should have been but it's always good to win."
- The last time there were five sacrifice flies in an NL game was last year between the same teams, June 7 at Colorado. The Rockies had all five.
- Pittsburgh entered the game having won five of six at PNC Park but in the Pirates' last three losses here they have given up a total of 27 runs.
- Wilson and Pirates pitching coach Jim Colburn were seen shouting at each other in the dugout an inning after Wilson misplayed a pop-up into a two-base error. Neither man would directly comment on it after the game, except for Colburn saying it was "not newsworthy."
- Hurdle called an error charged to 1B Todd Helton on a sharply hit ground ball in the seventh "the worst scorekeeping call I have ever seen. Ever."

As fans of The Voice will know, the show is back next Saturday at 7pm on BBC1, and ahead of it, the coaches, Jessie J, Will.i.am, Sir Tom Jones and Danny O'Donoghue have all been talking to the media about the talent quest's second outing…
And in an interview with the Radio Times, an annoyed Jessie has slammed critics who have branded her a "diva" claiming that in fact, she's "the complete opposite."
She began by saying, "I don't think there's ever been any show on TV where a girl hasn't had the diva stamp…
"I see it as some sort of compliment because the original divas were the Shirley Basseys, the Whitney Houstons."
However, compliment or not, Jessie was keen to stress that she's not comfortable with the label.
She said, "I would never ever want anyone to think that's how I am. Because I'm not. I'm the complete opposite.
"I have eight people in my team – not 50, which is what was said in the papers.
"But you can't win…
"I've realised that it happens to women."
And on being a tough cookie – which she says she has to be in the music industry – Jessie remarked, "I got to where I am today by having people around me that don't 'yes' me.
"I'm not here to say 'yey, yey, you're amazing' because they'll leave this and go 'I haven't learned anything.'
"So yes, I'm definitely more honest this year."
And finally, while addressing the issue of relatively poor viewing figures for the show's first series, Jessie said, "If it was that bad, we wouldn't be here celebrating a second series.
"And I definitely wouldn't be sitting in the chair.
"Everyone wants to compare [reality TV shows] but the fact of the matter is that The Voice is like nothing else.
"There's no pointing and laughing, there's no editing to make it look like the person was horrific."
Are you excited for The Voice to return? Here's a reminder of the show's new trailer…

MADISON - Bret Bielema caused another job vacancy on the University of Wisconsin's coaching staff but unlike his quick departure, this coaching change won't take effect for another three weeks.
Co-defensive coordinator Chris Ash, whose defense played a major role in Wisconsin winning a third straight conference championship, has been named Arkansas' defensive coordinator, but will remain with the Wisconsin program through its appearance in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1.
"I am excited to welcome Chris to our staff," Bielema said in a statement. "In the last three years working together, I gained a great respect for the way Chris teaches the game and develops student-athletes. I've followed his career for a long time, and his knowledge of the way we run our program and specifically the defense will be valuable for us moving forward in our transition. Chris helped us improve drastically in our pass defense at Wisconsin where his defenses consistently ranked in the top 25 nationally in all the major categories."
Ash came to UW in 2010 from Iowa State and spent the last two seasons as UW's defensive coordinator.
This past season, Wisconsin led the Big Ten and ranked third in the NCAA with a three-and-out percentage of 41.72, and the Badgers' 5.23 three and outs per game topped the Big Ten and was fourth in the country. The Badgers' defense was 13th in the NCAA in total defense and tied for 19th in the country in scoring defense. Wisconsin also ranked 21st in the nation in third-down conversion defense in addition to being third in the conference in sacks and ranked 21st in the NCAA in rush defense and pass efficiency defense and 23rd in the country in pass defense.
Defensive backs Devin Smith and Marcus Cromartie both ranked in the top seven in the Big Ten in passes defended while Smith also tied for third in the conference in interceptions. The Badgers also produced two of the top nine sack artists in the conference, with defensive end Brendan Kelly tied for seventh with an average of 0.45 sacks per game and defensive end Tyler Dippel's 0.42 tied for ninth. Linebacker Chris Borland tied for third in the Big Ten in forced fumbles and fourth in the conference in fumble recoveries, and linebacker Mike Taylor ranked fifth in the Big Ten with an average of 1.15 tackles for loss per game.
Ash primary recruited the state of Illinois for Wisconsin and was the lead recruiter for Troy Fumagalli and Jack Keeler while helping UW and linebackers coach Andy Buh recruit Garret Dooley. All three have said they are solid commits to Wisconsin, both Fumagalli and Dooley have stated that they might take other visits.

Michael Hendrickson Law Office Michael E. Hendrickson
Re: accused of attmeted captial murder and store robbery asseriory
Better make sure that your uncle's defense attorney hears about all of what you claim in regard to his alleged noncomplicity in the crimes with which he's been charged.
If he's convicted, he could easily go away to the state penitentiary for more than 20 years.

This book shows you how to use two Unix utilities, lex andyacc, in program development. These tools help programmers build compilers and interpreters, but they also have a wider range of applications.The second edition contains completely revised tutorial sections for novice users and reference sections for advanced users. This edition is twice the size of the first and has an expanded index.The following material has been added:
Gregory Satir helps develop online publishing tools in the Portland, Oregon, office of Electronic Book Technologies. He graduated with a B.S. in computer science from Brown University. Doug Brown is a consultant/contractor in Beaverton, Oregon. He has been developing software for circuit simulation, synthesis, and testing since 1977. Doug coauthored lex & yacc, another O'Reilly & Associates Nutshell Handbook. He received an M.S. in electrical engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1976.
View Doug Brown's full profile page.
John R. Levine writes, lectures, and consults on Unix and compiler topics. He moderates the online comp.compilers discussion group at Usenet. He worked on Unix versions Lotus 1-2-3 and the Norton Utilities and was one of the architects of AIX for the IBM RT PC. He received a Ph.D in computer science from Yale in 1984.

Tony Mason is currently a member of the AFS development team at Transarc Corporation, a small start-up company specializing in distributed systems software. Previously, he worked with the Distributed Systems Group at Stanford University in the area of distributed operating systems and data communications. He received a B.S. in mathematics from the University of Chicago in 1987.
View Tony Mason's full profile page.
Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal featured on the cover of lex & yacc is a Victoria crowned pigeon, one of the largest members of the pigeon family. Unlike other birds, the crowned pigeon drinks water by immersing its bill and sucking. Incubation of the eggs (generally two) is shared by these monogamous birds, the male warming them by day, the female by night. The Victoria crowned pigeon is light and dark blue with purple markings and a fanlike head crest of lacy, light blue feathers. Though protected by law in its native country of New Guinea, it is nonetheless an easy target for hunters for its plumage and is in danger of extinction. Unix and its attendant programs can be unruly beasts. Nutshell Handbooks(R) help you tame them....Edie Freedman designed this cover and the entire Unix bestiary that appears on other Nutshell Handbooks. The beasts themselves are adapted from 19th-century engravings from the Dover Pictorial Archive. The cover layout was produced with QuarkXPress 3.1 using the ITC Garamond font.The inside layout was fomatted in sqtroff using ITC Garamond Light and ITC Garamond Book fonts, and was designed by Edie Freeman. The figures were created in Aldus Freehand 3.1 by Chris Reilley.

Nice book
By dmkmil
from Undisclosed
I bought the book back in 1993 and it pleases me each time a read it.If you have a project involving yacc and lex , this is the best source I have found the last years.However, a new edition would be nice !Notice : Take care as in certain examples memory is dynamically allocated but not freed.

Attractive Book
By supersimha
I have been refering the book for past three months which has helped me a lot in constructing a compiler(using c++,tool- vc++)as a part of my academic project. The book has helped in several stages of the process. The chapter 8(Yacc ambiguities and Conflicts) helped me in debugging several errors that i came across. I am very thankful to the author. Now the compiler is working as a win32 console based application. Currently i am trying to integrate lex and yacc with vc++(MFC)so that my compiler will have a very good user interface.I am facing problem with this integration process as c++ code snipet in the MFC application cannot call the parser(.y files). so i request your suggestion regarding this problem.Thanking You Narasimha.G

lex & yacc, 2nd Edition Review
By Mike
The book is full of code examples that show how to do things that may be very hard to re-invent. It is listed as a reference by yacc implementer. I find this book to be very interesting and detailed.---------Mike

I have a copy of the 1st edition and recently downloaded the sample code.I have to concur with Andy Wong Man Boon, above, that the sample code is pretty crummy. I downloaded the code because I'd a particular interest in the SQL grammar, and found that the sql1 example didn't compile, complaining about being unable to resolve yywrap(). After fixing this problem (either by linking with -lfl or putting in a substitute yywrap()), I then found that the executable gave:1: syntax error at FROMSQL parse failedwhen fed SELECT foo FROM bar;!Now, I'm no expert (otherwise I wouldn't have the book), but it seems to me that simple queries like this aren't allowed by the grammar in sql1.y. I got it to work by putting the following into the grammar:sql: query_exp ;How trustworthy can the code, or the book, be when this kind of simple mistake is made?Emmet
By Philippe
If you plan to update some of the sample code, in addition to what is explain in the previous message, I would recommend to use : static int add_word(int type, char *word); static int lookup_word(char *word);for the declaration of the functions used in the first sample.Regards, PhilippeFeel free to visit http://perso.wanadoo.fr/philippe.baucour/

Well..it's time for a 3rd edition. After going through Chapter 1 to 7, I foundthat this is a good book on the subject "lex & yacc".Unfortunately, the examples in the book (Chap 1 to 5) do notcompile and link properly. Even if an example happens to compiled and linkedsuccessfully, the executable will crash when executed :((i.e. Example 1-7 (pg. 17))I felt that failure in compiling and linking the exampleswill discourage lex & yacc newbies from experimenting and learning lex & yacc.I've included some fixes below to make the examples compile and link properly. (I'm using Cygwin on W2K, flex 2.5.4 and bison 1.875)Hopefully, these fixes will help lex & yacc newbies who is readingthis book and tinkering with the examples and exercises. -Andy Wong Man Boonif you want fixes for the other examples){15} to {18}For ch1-05.l, add...%{...int lookup_word(char *word);int add_word(int type, char *word);/* We do not require yyunput so do not define it to avoid 'C' compiler warning */#define YY_NO_UNPUT%}%option noyywrap%%...%%...int add_word(int type, char *word) {...}int lookup_word(char *word) {...}For ch1-05.y, add..%{#include /* prototype for lexer function */int yylex(void);/* prototypes for error handling functions */int yyerror(char *s);%}...%%...%%...int main(void){ yyin = stdin; /* Initialise yyin ! */ ... return 0;}int yyerror(char *s){ fprintf(stderr, "yyerror: %s\n", s); return 1; /* Recovery not attempted */}Compile ch1-05.l and ch1-05.y as follows:-flex ch1-05.lbison -y -d ch1-05.ygcc -Wall -c lex.yy.c y.tab.cgcc -Wall -o ch1-05 lex.yy.o y.tab.o{24}For Ex1-10.l, the returning values from yylex() would be clearer if you add...%{#include ...#define YY_NO_UNPUT%}%option noyywrap%%...\n { return '\n'; }"$" { return 0; /* end of input */ }%%int main(void){ int val; while( (val=yylex()) > 0) { printf("token is %d\n", val); } printf("token is %d\n", val); return 0;}Compile Ex1-10.l as follows:-flex Ex1-10.lgcc -Wall lex.yy.c -o Ex1-10{59}For ch3-01.y, the returning value of yyparse()would be clearer if you add to the main() the following:-int main(void) { ... bRet = yyparse(); if( bRet != 0) { printf("yyparse() error: ret %d\n", bRet); } else { printf("yyparse() ok: ret %d\n", bRet); } return 0;}
By Fractal A.
An informative and helpful source of information. The bits regarding the differences between yacc and flex are especially useful. More information about the errors generated by flex and bison would be useful. More explanations regarding the yylex, yyparse, yyparse_param, yyerror, and other yy functions are needed. Particularly, how are these functions attached to flex and bison? Also, how might a programmer manipulate these functions to obtain different results?
By Fabio Rotondo
I bought this book because a very short article on a magazine excited me, butafter I have read it completely, I still have a lot of questions and black holesin the way things work between Lex & Yacc.It is a good book, with lots of examples, but for somebody like me, with nobackground experience about these two tools, sometimes it went just too quickly.I think that some intermediate steps would do the trick.It is a good reference, anyway.

Concern for the earth and responsible stewardship of natural resources need not equate to command-and-control socialism. Any such equation, in fact, will end up harming the planet, human beings in particular. That's the contention of Greg Walcher in his new book, "Smoking Them Out: The Theft of the Environment and How to Take It Back." Walcher headed the Colorado Department of Natural Resources under Gov. Bill Owens, and ran for Congress. He now consults across the country as president of the Natural Resources Group.
Walcher will address an evening forum on how Americans can both achieve green goals and protect our freedom, hosted by Centennial Institute on Monday evening, November 18, at the CCU Beckman Center.
Admission is free and all are welcome, but reservations are required. Complete the RSVP form below or call 303-963-3424 to reserve your space. The Beckman Center is located near the Garrison Street entrance to Colorado Christian University.

The Poetry of Mental Unhealth: Philip Larkin 10

Readers have a perfect right to regard Philip Larkin, as I do not, as a complete shit. But if they consider his personal failings indistinguishable from his poetry, I think the loss is theirs.

Post-40 Bloomer: Spencer Reece, The Poet's Tale 5
by Sonya Chung
We needed such a story. The romance, the sense of "close call." We need these stories to counter the inevitability of obscurity; we need stories that kindle our sense of hope, and possibility. In truth, I wouldn't blame fans or journalists for altering or exaggerating the story. I understand why we need it to be as dramatic as possible.

Dream a Little Dream of Me: John Berryman 9
by Stephen Akey
Among the adjectives Vendler applies to Henry are "regressive, petulant, hysterical, childish, cunning, hypersexual, boastful, frightened, shameless, and revengeful." Also, "complaining, greedy, lustful, and polymorphously perverse." Did we miss anything? How about self-pitying, irresponsible, envious, and grandiose?

Race and American Poetry: Dove v. Vendler 34
by Jonathan Farmer
Vendler asks us to think of value in terms of a hypothetical and permanent future, one that will have unvarying and therefore conclusive notions of what was good and bad in our writing. It's an exasperating argument, since it asks us to defer to the critic's mystical conjuring of our far off progeny, a population that will, of course, have the same values as the critic herself.

Hey all,
We're currently in the process of evaluating ad-servers, (we ad serve both video and banners - not always together) and LiveRail came up. Has anyone worked with them as a video ad-server? Or in any capacity? Any insight would be much appreciated!
Thank you!
Hi Talia,
I'm Ronan McCarthy - Head of Ad Operations at Perform Group. We have been using LiveRail for over a year now. We have a worldwide video offering through our ePlayer product (http://eplayer.performgroup.com/), this is a syndicated delivering over 400 million video streams a month.
We have complex reporting requirements to deliver stream and revenue reports by publisher and content level. We have been able to use system variables in LiveRail outside just their content tags. This allows for reports on partner/publisher to be pulled from front end reporting tool. For more complex reporting requirement we have built a data warehouse which download via API daily feeds from LiveRail.
We have found LiveRail to be intuitive system to use and the ability to set rules around certain inventory has simplified complex campaign set up, specifically around VAST integrations.
I'm based in the UK but I have members of my Ad Ops team worldwide. A useful feature of LiveRail is ability to limit access to certain IPs or inventory sets for Ops teams , this has ensured greater control by my central team.
Hi Talia,
You are doing the right thing by reaching out to others to learn of available solutions and get an idea of some of the pros and cons, but keep in mind everyone's experience can be different. As you can see from the various replies, there are a lot of great solutions out there, and the key is finding the one that is best for your organization.
Definitely make sure you focus on the specific needs of your organization and document (and prioritize) your requirements, as that'll really be the test of finding out what solution is best for your specific needs. We work with a lot of folks evaluating various solutions (ad servers, contract management, video, etc.) and the key is to make sure you go into the decision making process knowing what's really important to your business.
You'll get lots of good information from your peers, but you'll need to sift through it to make sure it's meaningful to you as what may be terrific for 1 person, may not work well for you, and the reverse also holds true that something could be a disaster for someone else, but ideal for you.
Good luck with the decision making process, and as always, don't hestitate to contact us if we can help in any way.
AdMonsters Professional Services
We've been using LiveRail for over a year and I've found them to be hit and miss at times, but generally pleased overall. Some of it can be confusing if you're diving into something that has already been set up (as I did), as you're not setting it up from the ground up.
It is very much self-service and they are constantly making enhancements to their reporting capabilities as well as the overall platform -- I have a bigger interest on the reporting side. If you have a large international presence, I do believe that the LiveRail team is focusing on bringing on international ad sources for their exchange (which is great for us!)
As far as reporting goes, depending on how your site is set up, you can actually use "Verticals" for "tags", you can run reports much quicker, but are limited to, I believe, 50 that can be defined -- so if you're looking for a roll-up of a section for a quick overview, this would be the route you'd want to take and then set up a different scheduled report for the more granular content tags that are subsets of the verticals. Again, depends on the set up of your site. The UI can be a little slow at times -- when you're trying to build/run custom reports.
Their tech support is really good and responsive and if an email exchange isn't enough, they'll even request a number to reach you at! The account manager that we have has become more proactive in the past two-three months (relaying information on over to us) and is great for getting insights into what's going on in the market place as well as providing insights to improving set up.
The downside I've experienced with LiveRail is the latency (I haven't used additional video ad servers, so I don't know if it's something more general, or if it's specific to LiveRail) between video starting up and your site fetching a pre-roll (has to do with the way that LiveRail is inherently set up I believe)
Here's a link to an interview with their CEO via AdExchange: http://www.adexchanger.com/digital-tv/liverail/
Google (of course) will be rolling out their own version (I believe it's in BETA at the moment), which will be interesting to the video ad serving market -- I think it's quite slick and intuitive (especially if you use DFP already) and they also plan to alleviate the latency issue.
Thanks Mony! That's a really helpful summary. I'm relieved to hear that so many people are having a good experience with them given that I had never heard of them initially!
Hi Talia,
I believe the Adap.tv platform is worth further evaluation. We successfully support some of the very largest video content syndicators and video ad networks, and we assign fully-dedicated account managers & tech support to larger partners like HealthiNation. Our available marketplace -a separate but tightly-integrated business unit- is great for both buying and selling video to extend your audience or help fill any unsold video ad opportunities.
The Adap.tv video ad server -already robust- has been rebuilt from the ground up on even lighter code and has zero points of failure (POFs). And from a useability perspective, our UI is unmatched in its design and ease-of-use.
@Ravi: Regretfully I was not aware of any trouble you were having with our platform .. Let's reconnect this week so I can get a better understanding.
Thank you,
Director, Platform Sales
Hi Talia,
I remember working with Healthination when I was in Operative, small world.
I've been using LiveRail for about an year and went through the evaluation process like you before. We started off with Adap but have to change the server within two months due to several issues with their platform. So within two months re-evaluated all the servers again :). We started off with LiveRail at that point as they have amazing technical support. I would say most important feature is very simple to use but still you can customize rules and scenarios for content, domains, geo, cookie targeting and any possible scenario that you'll come across - this becomes very handy.
We did close to a billion impressions with LiveRail in past year, have over 300+ rules and 500+tags and never came across any issues.
Best luck in your search!
Ravi Tijare
SVP, Operations - Kitara Media
Great - these comments are really helpful. Thanks guys!
Liverail is a good solid platform. I agree with Byran that it does get a bit cluttered when you have alot of active campaigns. There is some work that could be done to help navigate this.
It doesn't forecast inventory down to a content tag level, but you can handle this by managing it at a vertical level amongst others.
I've got them running in a network capacity integrated into a number of different players without any real issues.
Support has also been great from the team in AU.
Hi Bryan,
I'll have one of the team reach out to you and we can dive in to examine your use of tags. Content tags are only one of the methodologies for targeting/reporting against within LiveRail and if you feel you have too many tags setup in the system and it's become unweildy, perhaps it would make sense to consolidate into broader content categories or use some of the other functions like URL or partner targeting instead. I'll ask the team to connect with you today, we'll re-examine your use cases and can probably come up with some recommendations to streamline your implementation...
Hi Talia-
My name is Kory aburke and I represent the Adobe Ad Platform (formerly Auditude). We are also a video ad serving platform working with numerous clients across multiple devices including MLB, Comcast, DailyMotion and numerous others. I think you would find our ad server to more than fit your needs and be extremely efficient and easy to use.
Please feel free to reach out to me at email@example.com at your earliest convenience.
We've been using them for a couple years as a video ad server for PBS. It's been hit and miss. Solid and reliable for serving, and easy to traffic, but if you have a lot of tags to target against (I'd say 50+), it gets overwhelming quickly as the UI becomes inefficient.
Hi Bryan-
If there's an opportunity for me to speak with you about the Abobe Ad Platform (formerly Auditude) to see if we can be more "hit" than "miss" for your needs, I'd certainly appreciate it. Please feel free to ach out to me at firstname.lastname@example.com if so.

Handmade 'Potheads' by Kim Jaeger – still from Historia Films
A film by Historia Films, about Melbourne ceramicist Kim Jaeger of 'Potheads'! (If you have trouble watching this video please view it here)
Today's is a double-pronged post. It was supposed to mainly just be about Melbourne artist Kim Jaeger, who makes these friendly little ceramic planters, cheekily named 'Potheads'! These little guys have been gaining many fans since Kim first started making them in late 2011, and they're now stocked at a number of cute Melbourne shops, including Mr Kitly, Third Drawer Down, Craft Victoria and Monk House Design. Of course being handmade, each is one of a kind.
BUT then it seemed remiss not to also mention the very clever pair at Historia Films, who have just launched the sweet little film about Kim which you see above!
Historia Films is a collaboration between Adelaide photographer Mike Smith and Melbourne blogger Laura Quattrocelli, who share a passion for digital media, and all things hand crafted. They formed this little film project with a shared mission to tell the untold stories of artists, designers and creatives behind closed doors. This film you see above is their second – keep your eyes on their website as more films will be released throughout the year!
First watch the film above, and then read on below for a few questions with Pothead creator Kim Jaeger! –
Tell us a little bit about your background – what did you study and what led you to becoming a ceramicist and eventually launching Potheads?
I originally studied visual arts but I ended up doing my masters in graphic design and new media, working in interactive installations using sound and video. After finishing, I moved overseas to London where I continued to make artwork, but digital interactive installations were a bit harder with no computer over there so I starting taking photographs and drawing in journals, catching and collecting ideas.
After returning from London I made no art. Nothing. I think sometimes artists need to stop in order to keep making work. I lived in Sydney for a year and then moved to Melbourne in 2006. Gradually I started making work again and got involved in artist run spaces in Melbourne, sitting on the board of Seventh Gallery in Fitzroy for two years. In the last five years or so I've been working with lots of different mediums: photography, installation, sculpture – I like to mix it up! I first worked with clay four years ago when I took a wheel turning class, but it wasn't until late 2011 when I took another class in hand-building that Potheads finally came to life (though the idea had been brewing for a few years!).
What process is involved in creating these little clay friends of yours? When constructing these planters do you have any idea what their face is going to look like before you start, and how long does each take to make?
The process of making a Pothead usually starts by putting some music on – so perhaps this subconsciously has something to do with what each face will look like? I usually zone out when I'm doing it, it's a kind of mediation really, the faces form from the clay. From start to finish it takes about six weeks, from working with the raw clay to the finished glazed object. Ceramics is definitely a lesson in patience!
What's next for Potheads in 2013?
It's a really exciting year coming up! I'm currently working on some new collections and commissions in the studio. I also have a show mid year at Craft Victoria where I'm going to be experimenting with new materials that work alongside the clay to create functional objects. I'm really interested in the idea of functionality in an artwork.
Do pop by Kim's Tumblr page for more pics and info about these slightly mad little functional pieces!

Summer may seem like prime time for outdoor activities, but with its oppressive heat and crowded parks, trails and beaches (not to mention your I'm-on-vacation mindset), we won't blame you if you spent most of the season soaking up rays by the pool -- or relaxing in your air-conditioned living room.
Now that temps have dropped and autumn is in full swing, there's no better time to get back to nature. (Case in point: I hit the beach this past weekend for a combo surf-and-yoga lesson, and I was the only one in the class. One-on-one instruction, score!) You might argue that every sport is better in the fall, but I spoke with J.J. Jameson, senior instructor with REI's Outdoor School, about three that are particularly perfect for this time of year. Give them a try this season while you still can!
Trail running
"Getting out on the trails, either hiking, running or rock climbing, is just beautiful in the fall," says Jameson. "The clearer, drier weather and the changing foliage in much of the country makes for gorgeous views, especially if you're getting up in the mountains and high terrain with scenic overlooks."
Know before you go: You'll want different footwear for trail running than you use for pounding the pavement. "In order to get better traction, you'll need a shoe with softer rubber and knobbier treads on the bottom." And don't try to mix road running with trail: "If you have to run a mile on pavement just to get to that trail, you'll wear out your trail shoes much faster than you should." Tread lightly (i.e. walk) or wear different shoes until you're at the trailhead.
Get the gear: Ecco BIOM Trail GTX shoes (below) have a flexible midsole for a natural running motion, with a GORE-TEX lining to keep feet dry and enough grip and traction to keep you from sliding on muddy or loose terrain. $200, eccousa.com
"To me, the worst thing about camping is the bugs," says Jameson. "Luckily, this is the time of year that mosquitoes and flies and bees really start to decline." Plus, there's nothing better than gathering around a warm campfire for warmth on a cool autumn night, toasting marshmallows and watching the stars.
Know before you go: "It's not a lot of fun to set up your tent for the first time in the dark. It's a really good idea to do a trial run putting that tent together beforehand, in your backyard or even in your living room." And especially if it's a rental tent (yes, you can rent tents from REI and other outdoor retailers!), make sure all of the pieces are there before you head out on your trip.
Get the gear: Big fluffy bath towels feel great after a hot shower, but they take up tons of room, and can take hours to dry. Save space and time with an XL UltraLite Pack Towel. The polyester/rayon blend absorbs up to four times its weight in water, dries fast and folds up into its own carrying case. $29.95, rei.com. (Also: More camping essentials from our September issue!)
Stand-up paddleboarding
"The great thing about water sports in the fall is that the water has been getting warmer and warmer all summer, and stays warm longer than the air does," says Jameson. And stand-up paddleboarding, in addition to being a great core workout, is a relaxing way to experience the sunshine and gentle breeze on the water without actually getting too wet — assuming you don't fall in.
Know before you go: Depending on the forecast and the time of day you go out, you'll want to dress in layers — if it's chilly or windy, a long-sleeve wicking base layer and a windbreaker that you can tie around your waist may be your best bet. You'll likely be OK in shorts or workout capris; the movement of paddling will warm you up quickly. And don't forget sunscreen! Just because it's not hot anymore doesn't mean the sun's not shining down, and the reflection off the water can make it even worse.
Get the gear: SUPping isn't as fun if you don't have the photos to remember your outing by — so don't risk losing your camera to the murky depths. (I've seen it happen: iPhones don't float.) Carry your gear in a lightweight, waterproof SealLine E-Case — they've got sizes for everything from small point-and-shoots to iPads. Prices vary, cascadedesigns.com/sealline
REI's Outdoor School offers classes and outings in these and other activities year-round. See what's planned in your part of the country at REI.com/outdoorschool.

by Danny Haiphong
"Both the corporate ruling class on one side and much of the proclaimed 'left' on the other are caught up in fact-manipulation." For differing reasons, neither tells the truth about Zionism's mission to create a 'Greater Israel'; of U.S. and Israeli support for jihadists such ISIS – which claimed credit for killing the three teenage Jewish settlers; or U.S. schemes to contain China and foment war against Russia.
Truth and Politics as an Alternative to Despair in the Last Stage of US imperialism
by Danny Haiphong
"The settler Zionists who are currently watching the massacre of Gaza on a hill are reminiscent of the White Americans who attended the lynching of Black Americans."
Some of the most difficult conversations are not the ones rife with American exceptionalism, white supremacy and pro-imperial reaction. The most difficult conversations and organizing situations tend to be when the person or group being addressed becomes overwhelmed with despair over the state of the world under US imperialism. It certainly isn't unreasonable to feel discouraged if one analyzes the enormity of exploitation in this period. The lack of a broad program and movement in the US leaves many who want to fight feeling hopeless about whether the last stage of imperialism will ever truly end.
A 21st century movement to fight imperialism from within the US must be grounded in an honest analysis of current conditions. However, both the corporate ruling class on one side and much of the proclaimed "left" on the other are caught up in fact-manipulation, albeit for different reasons. The capitalist class's existence requires that the education of the exploited classes teaches adherence to the values and logic of the social order. In contrast, pro-imperialist left wing groups and individuals who support US "humanitarian intervention" (imperialism) in Libya, Syria, and Venezuela or partake in anti-Russia and China hysteria are doing so under the assumption that such positions will attract popular support in a reactionary period. This brand of opportunism damages the possibility of strategic global alliances by fortifying a racist left buffer between unfettered imperialist rule and revolutionary possibility, tipping the scale in favor of the capitalist ruling class.
Over the last few weeks, the corporate media's coverage of global developments provides ample evidence for the need to break from racist and sectarian narratives. Below are just a few developments we CANNOT avoid if we are serious about building an anti-imperialist movement in this period.
Palestine and Israel's Ground Assault
Israel has indiscriminately slaughtered men, women, and children in its latest invasion of what remains of Palestine. The death toll for Palestinians has reached over 1,000 and counting, with thousands more injured. While it is crucial that anti-imperialists denounce Israel's wanton massacre, it is the pretext for the recent invasion of Gaza that reveals the true motivations behind this round of genocide.
Israel claimed that the criminal massacre of Gaza was a response to the three settler teens found dead in the West Bank. The corporate media failed to cover that the leader of the imperialist-backed terrorist organization, ISIS in Iraq, claimed responsibility for the death of the settlers. Around the same time this was announced, Eric Snowden leaked NSA documents that exposed the CIA and Mossad's role in training ISIS's leader in an intensive yearlong military course. The corporate media and Washington have blacked out Israel's and the US-NATO alliance's intelligence and logistical support for ISIS since the war on Syria officially began in 2011, a policy that has been carried out by the US and its imperial satellites since the 1979 Western-backed Jihadi invasion of Afghanistan. Netanyahu himself has been caught shaking hands with injured ISIS terrorists receiving treatment in an Israeli funded hospital in the occupied Golan Heights.
"The US-NATO-Israeli alliance possesses the joint goal of dismembering the entire Middle East and North Africa."
If Israel helped create ISIS and ISIS truly did murder the settlers, why would Israel need to create a pretext to invade Gaza? For one, colonialism's foundation rests on the dehumanization of the colonized. The Israeli colonial project is no different. For over a century since its founding, Zionist ideology proclaimed that Israel was an economic and political project for a settler class of so-called followers of Judaism. Judaism was the cover for the Zionist "manifest destiny"-like mission to build an empire and exterminate whoever was in their way. Each and every Israeli military venture since the Western imperial powers granted Israel statehood in 1948 has been a Palestinian and Arab World bloodbath in service of criminal Zionist expansion. The Zionist mission of a "Greater Israel" is really a project in land theft at the expense of Palestine and the entire region.
Israel's alliance with NATO and the United States gives immunity to the Zionist state's criminal colonial project. The US-NATO-Israeli alliance possesses the joint goal of dismembering the entire Middle East and North Africa. This fulfills Israel's objective of creating a "Greater Israel" from Egypt to the Euphrates, the founding dream of the Zionist movement. Israel's position in the region also paves the way for US imperialism to strengthen its murderous geopolitical and strategic economic influence. Vice President Joe Biden himself has been caught on the record saying that if Israel did not exist, the US would have to create one. Thus, Israel's invasion of Gaza is deeply tied to US imperialism, which explains why 350 million more in US military aid will be given to the Zionist State in a unanimous US Senate decision to increase the 3.1 billion that US taxpayers already pay Israel annually.
Ukraine and the Malaysia Flight 17
In February of 2013, the democratically elected government of Ukraine was illegally overthrown after months of political subversion by NATO and the US State Department. This led to Ukraine being overrun by fascists armed and funded by the US-NATO alliance. Dominoes began to fall, including Crimea's choice to join the Russian Federation soon after Ukraine was destabilized. Private mercenaries led by oligarchs, US Special Operations forces, and Blackwater (Academi) troops have spent nearly a year using Ukraine to build the conditions for an economic and military war with Russia.
The US-NATO-EU campaign in Ukraine is the most severe threat to Russia's security in a long line of encounters posed by the West, especially since Putin's re-election in 2012. The US has sponsored the NATO military encirclement of the post-Soviet nation. Russia's growing economic relationships with Europe, China, and the Eurasian region and its advocacy of a multi-polar global order has run counter to Washington's imperial ambitions. Washington sees Russia (and China) as the primary obstacle to its ambitions of submitting the globe into the grips of its genocidal foreign policy and bankrupt economic model.
The situation in Ukraine thus represents a multitude of interests for US empire. Before Flight 17 plummeted from Ukrainian airspace, Ukraine's fascist military wing had bombed Russian territory multiple times. Fascists in Ukraine have targeted key pipelines and infrastructure to weaken Russia's ability to trade with European allies. Given these facts, it is no wonder that Washington and the corporate media are doing all they can to blame Russia for the newest Malaysian flight tragedy. A full investigation has yet to be conducted and still the Obama Administration denounced Russia for the downing of the civilian airline only twenty-four hours after knowledge of the incident.
"Washington sees Russia (and China) as the primary obstacle to its ambitions of submitting the globe into the grips of its genocidal foreign policy and bankrupt economic model."
Even without a full investigation, political developments in the region implicate Ukraine's illegitimate coup government in the Malaysian Flight 17 tragedy. For one, Russians and other anti-Kiev forces do not possess the money to purchase the firepower necessary to shoot down a plane 33,000 feet in the air. However, Kiev's fascist forces are receiving ample support from the US-NATO alliance, which does possess the Buk systems allegedly responsible for the flight's demise.
Finally, It would make little sense for Russia to provoke US imperialism and kill hundreds of civilians from around the world in the process. An objective analysis of Russia's involvement in the Ukraine debacle reveals a firm patience with US imperialism's policy of destabilization. But for an unstable, US-NATO backed regime in Kiev, the need for tougher sanctions on Russia and more Western aid makes the Malaysian Flight 17 scenario a very convenient development for US imperialism's continued war with Moscow.
The image going viral on social media of the American Jewish youth who was dragged and beaten by Israeli police forces for speaking out against the Gaza massacre coincided with the now viral video of the NYPD's murder of Eric Garner. Garner, a Black American male, was strangled to death after demanding the NYPD officers leave him alone and stop questioning him after breaking up a street fight. These instances of resistance and brutality show US imperialism's global character. The settler Zionists who are currently watching the massacre of Gaza on a hill are reminiscent of the White Americans who attended the lynching of Black Americans during the Post-Antebellum period. US imperialism affects oppressed people everywhere, whether it is the daily US law enforcement murders of Black Americans or the daily IDF murders of Palestinians in Gaza. The struggle against racist police brutality, austerity, mass Black imprisonment, and gentrification cannot be separated from the fight against US imperialism around the world.
The task of a revolutionary left is to organize the people's anger away from despair and toward a commitment to full justice, total liberation, and lasting peace. Despair is ultimately fostered by a combination of anger toward the prevailing order and a lack of confidence in changing it. The Zionist war crimes in Gaza and the Malaysian Flight 17 tragedy are just a few examples of important, fast moving developments that we need to actively discuss with people in our workplaces, schools, universities, and streets. An honest analysis of current conditions is the foundation of an organized anti-imperialist movement. Such an analysis can and will de-isolate the exploited classes. We have the majority of the planet on our side. It is time to join them.

Have you considered expanding your business's market reach by exporting your products to other countries? Exporting goods can help you tap into emerging markets and avoid the drop in profits that often comes when the U.S. economy staggers.
Many small businesses are crossing borders: According to a new survey [PDF] from the National Small Business Association, 64 percent of U.S.-based small businesses surveyed have sold goods or services abroad — a 12 percent jump from the 2010 survey results.
Here are three tips for exploring new, foreign markets.
1. Leverage the benefits of large online marketplaces. Online marketplaces such as eBay and Sell on Amazon enable small merchants to reach global audiences of millions: In fact, according to eBay's recent report [PDF] for the "Commerce 3.0″ project, an astonishing 97 percent of its commercial sellers have sold to buyers in other countries. Selling through a recognized online platform builds trust between buyer and seller, simplifies payment processing, and holds each party accountable for completing the transaction. Ebay uses a Global Shipping Center to simplify the customs and shipping process for sellers; check out its guidelines here.
2. Seek help from the Small Business Administration. If your goal is to develop a market for your products in specific countries, the federal government can provide you with support in launching your international sales career. There are 19 U.S. Export Assistance Centers throughout the United States — plan a visit to your regional center for free consultation with SBA representatives regarding your exporting plans. The SBA also provides free access to a network of trade specialists, hosts a directory of paid consultants (who can help you dive deeper into your plans), and offers many other online resources.
3. Research your target markets carefully and make sure you're meeting their needs. If you're making a deliberate play to focus your business strategy around selling in specific foreign countries, spend time there. Learn everything you can about the culture and how you can encourage shoppers there to buy from you. For instance, BayRu, a Chicago company founded by Russian emigrants, acts as a middleman to sell goods from Amazon and eBay to consumers in Russia. To facilitate transactions, the company repackages all products to ensure they'll safely make the trip; uses native Russian speakers to confirm all phone orders; and, because credit card penetration is low in Russia, BayRu works with a national network of in-person payment points where customers can pay for their orders. These strategies have helped the company grow dramatically: It anticipates bringing in $75 million in revenues this year.

A mother of four is demanding an apology and changes to the law after claims she was manhandled by ticket inspectors on a tram on Wednesday.
Rachel Martin, from North Balwyn, said she boarded a city-bound tram in Kew when she realised she did not have change for the ticket machine.
Ms Martin said she approached a group of six Yarra Trams revenue protection officers and asked if they could change her notes into coins so she could use the machine.
They told her she should get off the tram or be fined, Ms Martin said, but as she was rushing to the city she said she would accept the penalty.
"Because she was so happy to accept the fine it immediately aroused suspicions," said Paul McKeon, revenue protection manager at Yarra Trams.
He said Ms Martin was detained by staff who tried to check the personal details she had given them.
He told The Age the ticket inspectors phoned Ms Martin's husband to check her identity.
They gave the phone to Ms Martin when her husband wanted to speak with her and he suggested she should leave the tram.
When she appeared to be getting off the tram with the inspectors' phone Ms Martin was held by the arms, Mr McKeon said.
"She was struggling, trying to break free of her hold. They were lawfully arresting her," Mr McKeon said.
Ms Martin disagrees.
"I think they manhandled me," she said.
Ms Martin said her right arm was bruised and she was angry that she could not buy a ticket from the inspectors.
"You don't get on a bus and have the driver say, 'Sorry, you need change, get off'," she said.
But Mr McKeon said the inspectors did not issue tickets and that Ms Martin got on on the tram knowing she did not have a valid ticket and gave a false date of birth to inspectors.
Ms Martin denied she gave false information to the inspectors or that she tried to leave the tram with their phone.
"That is absolute rubbish," she said.
Last year the Victorian Government passed laws to give ticket inspectors the power to demand information to check a person's identity.
Previously commuters only had to state their name and address truthfully when asked.
A spokeswoman for Transport Minister Peter Batchelor said commuters had a right to be treated fairly while using public transport, but had to ensure they carried a valid ticket at all times.

After spending a year with our chickens and loving every minute of it, hubs and I have decided to expand our homestead horizon and venture into getting goats. Why goats? As my interest and knowledge of homesteading grows, I've found that goats are actually quite useful -- and so stinkin cute! And call me "old-fashioned" (please), but I am hoping to use the milk for ice cream, cheese, butter, and soap.
Although hubs and I are both eager to get our goats, the process has proved to be somewhat cumbersome. We have been talking about our goat plans since last fall, but this winter we found out that we are expecting our second child at the end of August. And as exciting as it is to be expanding our family, it has changed my summer plans for expanding our homestead a bit, and that included getting goats. My mind immediately focused on the list of projects I wanted to complete inside the home to prepare for the baby.
I had big plans for our garden this year, but decided that weeding in 80-degree weather when I can barely bend over to tie my shoe did not sound like a grand idea (so I'll be visiting the local Amish auction house to purchase my preserving supplies this year). But Gabe was very adamant about getting the goats, even though I tried to argue that next summer might be a better time.
So I began my research and found the best website for advice and the how-to's of goat ownership. Then I began my search for our goats and Gabe began building our goat pin (with Brodey's help of course).
After searching on Craigslist, I found a couple two-year-old LaMancha does at a decent price and was in communications with the owner, and everything was going well until last week. You see I had received pictures the girls (as I referred to them), but none of them were close-ups, and I didn't deem it necessary to drive out to the farm and see them first-hand. Big mistake.
A week before our arranged pick up, I received a good close-up shot of one of the girls (see pic on right). I was shocked! I didn't realize that girl goats could have horns. At first I decided that the horns would be okay and the deal was still on, but then I did some more research and fact-finding and I realized that I did not want horns. In fact, there were a few other things about these goats that became less appealing. I was informed that they may be pregnant too! So the deal was off. I don't want pregnant goats that might be temperamental with those horns.
So we continued our search and are looking at a couple of other options, but I am finding that getting the goats we want is not going to be easy. After researching and starting the process of getting goats here is what I've learned and what to look for. Hopefully it will help someone else who is as green to goats as me:
1) Do your research on the different breeds of goats that are out there. I had no idea that there so many kinds! Your breed selection will be based on your needs (i.e. Are you looking for just a pet? How much land do you have? Do you want goats milk?) I have decided on LaManchas and I want two does.
2) Don't get a buck for your first goat, or ever, unless you plan to breed.
3) Don't just get one goat. They are social animals and they need companionship. If you plan to get a goat, plan to at least get two.
4) If you are planning to milk, be sure that you get a goat that has good udders and comes from a good line of milk producers.
5) Don't get a goat with horns. I really thought this one through. I have a four-year-old and I want him to be able to help with the goats. I'm aware that they can be temperamental without horns,but it is just common sense that hornless goats are safer for myself and my family (and the other goats).
6) Goats can live a long time (10-20 yrs.) and they develop habits. Therefore, I want a young goat that we can grow with. Not one that has already formed bad habits and won't be enjoyable for us.
This is just a short list of the main things that I've discovered. I encourage you to do your own research on the subject if you are planning to get goats, or any animal for that matter. While it is enjoyable to own animals, it's important that you take good care of them; and you cant do that if you don't learn about them. That's just common sense.
Wish me luck in our search! Hopefully, I can report that we have found what were looking for soon.
More from living

Sol Campbell has described Wayne Rooney as Manchester United's talisman and says Arsenal will have to be wary of the England striker on Sunday.
United travel to Emirates Stadium for a crucial Premier League encounter but Campbell believes the game isn't make or break to either side's season.
United striker Rooney is the Premier League's top goalscorer this season, with 19 strikes in 22 starts for his club. It's something that hasn't escaped the notice of Campbell, who warns that Arsenal will need to be on their guard come the weekend.
"He is their talisman," said the defender. "He's always going to pop up and he's always dangerous.
"We have to watch him, just like at Villa with Heskey and Agbonlahor. In a flash something can happen and they're in, it's all a part of football.
"It will be a challenge [to come up against him] but that's what it's all about."
Campbell featured in a number of high-profile matches for Arsenal in his first spell at the Club, helping the Gunners claim two Premier League titles, three FA Cups and reach a Champions League final in which he scored the opening goal.
If he features on Sunday, the 35-year-old will make his 200th appearance for the Club.
"It's a massive game, a great game to be involved in," he said. "You just have to look at the League table.
"If you're going to play a team in and around you then you have to get a good result against them. If you don't, they go up another notch and you stay where you are."
However, the defender believes that Sunday's game won't prove to be a title decider. Instead, Campbell expects the team that finds form in the final weeks of the season to claim the Premier League trophy.
"We're just past midway through the season," he said. "It's the business end of the season and these are a big two weeks for the Club. We need to get some points and go from there.
"These are a big two weeks but you have to keep on picking up these results," he said. "You have to pick up points up and down the country, in the big games and against teams in the middle of the table.
"Man United will drop points and Chelsea will drop points. Everyone will drop points here and there. It will come down to who gets the run going. It's all about grinding out the results."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

No Child Left Behind Conflicts with Desegregation Policy in Louisiana
"Dear Parent or Guardian," the letter begins. "In accordance with Louisiana's Public School Choice Policy, we are required to inform you that your child is enrolled a public school that is projected to receive a grade of 'F.'"
This was the note sent home to parents at Rayville Elementary School in Louisiana last week. Like many schools since No Child Left Behind was enacted, failing schools are required to allow its students to transfer to a better school in the district.
Parents were given the choice between two other schools, one with a B rating, one with a C minus. Further down the letter read: "Please note that white students at Rayville Elementary School will not be allowed to transfer to the listed schools due to the present provisions issued in the federal Richland Parish School desegregation case."
Kevin Epinette is the president of the school board in Richland Parish, and Wendy Scott is a law professor at North Carolina Central University.

What has happened to what used to be the computer friendly dogster that I have bragged about for years? Ms. Texas Belle
My group, DAWGS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN, has suffered (but we are international friends because of dogster) because you are no longer computer-friendly. Even I have problems, and 'dawgs' email my Mom to tell her how difficult it is nowadays to get into my group.
My brother, Mr Canada Zeus, and I have given up. We are no longer having fun.
Yet, our Mom wore her dogster T-shirt when she was in Texas recently (we are from Canada). People asked her about it, and she did not have the same enthusiasm in bragging about your guys that she used to as she could not explain the computer complications that are now with you.
We have loved you, but regret to tell you that fellow 'FUNDAWGS' from my group want to start a new facebook group, away from dogster. We have done our best, but I am agreeing with them to 'go for it.'

I like the new format and haven't had problems getting into any of my groups.
You should send your concerns directly to HQ and I'm sure they would do their best to fix any problems you are experiencing. HQ has always been very prompt and helpful whenever I needed questions answered.

I agree Deogie, we like the changes and havent had any problems with groups or anything. A couple issues with auto login but nothing even close to ruining the fun.
Hope this gets resolved because it would be sad to lose someone who loved dogster so much!
Good luck!

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hello and thank you for using Just Answer,
No special double taxation relief rule is required Under Article 19 where Swiss social security benefits are paid to U.S. residents because Switzerland does not tax the benefits when it is the source country.U.S. residence-basis taxation of Swiss social security benefits is not limited by the Convention between US and Switzerland. You will treat the payments as annuity payments. The percentage that would be taxable would be based on the amounts contributed while under US taxation.
If I understand you correctly, if the entire amount contributed to the AHV was made while we were subject to US residency and tax laws the entire payment received in any year will be taxable at out regular tax rate?
The payments are treaty as annuity for tax purposes. Any amounts contributed that were made with money that was taxed by the US already can be used as the basis in the annuity. If you contributed after-tax dollars to your pension or annuity, your pension payments are partially taxable. You will not pay tax on the part of the payment that represents a return of the after-tax amount you paid. This amount is your cost in the plan or investment, and includes the amounts your employer contributed that were taxable to you when contributed.Taxed under either the General Rule or the Simplified Method. You need to use the simplified method because the payments started after 1996.
Thank you in advance for a positive rating

Becoming a Registered Dietitian
The Dietetic Internship at Western Kentucky University (WKU) will fulfill the second step of a three-step process to become a Registered Dietitian.
1) The first step is completion of a minimum of a Bachelor's degree and receipt of a verification statement from a Didactic Program in Dietetics accredited by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND).
2) The second step is completion of an ACEND-accredited dietetic internship as evidenced by a dietetic internship verification statement. To receive the dietetic internship verification statement from WKU, the intern must also successfully complete the coursework and supervised practice requirements.
3) The third step is the successful completion of the Commission on Dietetic Registration's examination for registered dietitians.

Some states require licensure, which is an additional step necessary to practice as a RD. Be sure to check with your state of residence to see if licensure will be required.
In the State of Kentucky, one must be licensed by Kentucky Board of Licensure and Certification for Dietitians and Nutritionists to engage in dietetic practice. Information about licensure for dietitians in Kentucky can be obtained at: http://bdn.ky.gov
RD Registration Exam
The application fee to sit for the registration examination is $200. The exam is given throughout the year by the Commission on Dietetic Registration's (CDR) testing agency, Pearson VUE. The program director submits registration eligibility forms for students at the end of the program. The examinations will be administrated year round at over 250 Pearson VUE test centers nationwide. Test sites are typically open Monday- Friday, with some some centers also open on Saturdays. Candidates will receive the most updated test center listing at the time of test registration. Center locations are subject to change.
