2 Preface In a fusion of technique and styles, Opera Gallery Dubai presents an exhibition that will appeal to most, delivering the first ever face to face between abstract painter Guelfenbein and figurative portrait artist Sbaragli. Loyal to the abstract genre, Eduardo Guelfenbein displays an overflowing passion with his fluid lines and swirls filled with explosive energy. In doing so, he conveys the deepest parts of one s nocturnal dreams and how they influence us as an engine that drives our natural instincts. It is not rare for us to observe viewers and visitors lose themselves inside the elaborate shapes and spins that he depicts through the thickness of paint. Guelfenbein, whose style has much evolved over the years, admits that his soul finds instant expression in the latest liquid abstractions paintings. Facing him is Matteo Sbaragli, born in 1980, who paints almost exclusively large-scale portraits. The latest years of his young career have seen him paint on aluminium and other metals, which only brings added depth to the expressiveness of his portraits. Sbaragli says that his artistic research is all about finding the balance between reality and imaginary: it s not the subject which has to have strength in itself, but the art of painting. Sbaragli also states that he paints heads not portraits ; and his complex work on flesh and surface makes this statement a certainty. Placing Guelfenbein and Sbaragli face to face allows the encounter of abstraction and figuration. And by listening to what each artist has to say about their inspiration and artistic research, it becomes clear that the association is a collaboration and not an opposition of two different genres: Sbaragli depicts the flesh, the head, the surface of the human; while Guelfenbein represents the dreams and deep thoughts within the individual. We are proud to give our clients and visitors an opportunity to discover the works of two very talented artists; and we are pleased that the association of these artists takes us all a step deeper into the understanding of how artistic genres challenge and complete each other. Gilles Dyan Founder and Chairman Opera Gallery Group Mariam Thani Hodge General Manager Opera Gallery Dubai
3 Eduardo Guelfenbein My soul has instant expression in my latest liquid abstractions. The creative emotional satisfaction brought by the liquid technique, is always a new experience, much is a process of discovery, whilst carving through thick textured acrylic, and letting myself flow with music, the joys of the inner child emerge whilst brushed lines travel across the canvas, morphologically binding colours. 03 Technically I have evolved over the years, but my aim today is to create interesting acrylic texture, where light refracts strongly, with contrasting carved gestual strokes, and mostly, a full colour palette. Potentially the liquid transformations and twisting patterns are infinite, much like a cosmic creation, generating different feelings and never-ending forms. Whilst as a figurative painter, I was painting abstractions within the figure, today freed from the silhouettes, the liquid abstractions create in me the same emotional feelings of Love, Beauty, Truth and Goodness, infinite emotions that have no limit, like an abstract painting open to the imagination.

11 Matteo Sbaragli 19 Although my paintings depict faces almost exclusively, my intent is to go beyond the portrait, transcending the classic portrait format. I believe it is more appropriate to refer to them as heads rather than faces. In fact, this definition, more clearly represents their value as a vessel. Furthermore, describing the work as a head connotes more of a three-dimensional visual, rather than simply a surface. As simply a face, or a portrait, there is a limit to what can be represented. The head allows for an entire interpretation, interconnected with its external environment. Without the three-dimensional references, the portrait only allows one to construe a limited aspect of the face. My fascination and torment of the task, in this case, is the inability to understand the corresponding interpretation that the spectator, the viewer, attributes directly to the painting. Clearly my attempt is to convey, as much as possible, my point of view on the image I create through painting, but I am aware of the narrative limit in a single painting: it would be like trying to fit an entire movie into a single frame. For this reason, I have created series of ten to fifteen paintings which are not exactly alike but have the same intent. 20 The history of art and painting has been a slow process. Especially, when one goes into the specific and individual cases, it takes time for great changes to transpire. Sometimes those changes are so minute, they are insignificant to the external eye; therefore you have to dedicate yourself entirely to it.

Recently, my dad and I were chatting about finance, and we started talking about how he currently has invested the cash portion of his IRA (Individual Retirement Account) in a money market mutual fund. He then proceeded to tell me that the current yield he is earning on this cash is 0.01%.
In all seriousness, I was shocked when I found out that this interest rate was so low, considering that the current interest rate on my high yield savings account (taxable account) with Dollarsavingsdirect.com is 1.30%. In doing a quick search, I confirmed that not only was the rate indeed this low at the brokerage he uses, but that the money market mutual fund offered by Vanguard.com (Vanguard.com Money Market Mutual Fund Page) was very low as well (0.01%).
So, this begs the question, just what should an investor do with the cash portion of his/her retirement account?
In a previous post, I detailed an investigation in to the different taxable cash savings account options (see post My Money Blog – Savings Account Options).
However, it is clear that the landscape changes significantly when your options are limited to the selections inside your IRA or 401k. And, since the My Money Blog asset allocation rules (can be seen at the following link – My Money Blog – Asset Allocation Targets) dictate that I need to keep 5% of my retirement holdings in liquid cash assets, this is one detail that simply cannot be overlooked.
So, let's take a look at the choices by looking at each of my two account types:
401k Cash Savings Options
- My 401k is administered via my employer through Fidelity.
- There is only one option for cash savings within this account. It is an institutional Fidelity money market mutual fund with the following attributes:
- 7 day yield of 0.21%
- 1 year return of 0.53%
- YTD return of 0.05%
Roth IRA Cash Savings Options
- As I have mentioned previously, my Roth IRA is managed through Vanguard.com.
- There are several money market options here, but the only one that I am really interested in / that applies to my circumstances is the Vanguard Prime Money Market Mutual Fund (Ticker Symbol VMMXX). It has the following attributes:
- 7 day yield of 0.01%
- 1 year return of 0.28%
As you can clearly see, the returns available at this low interest rate period in the US will not even be able to keep pace with inflation, which averages around 3.2% per year.
Surely, there have to be better options available! I mean, come on capitalism! Right? 🙂
Alternative Options
A quick search on Google.com of investment options for cash in retirement accounts does not reveal any substantial information.
Next, I then thought back on the 1st IRA I ever opened up. It was a fixed interest rate CD with Bank of America. I really opened it on accident with only several hundred Dollars, and closed it a few months later (yes, I incurred the taxes and withdraw penalty of 10% – it was a mistake!).
A quick search at Bank of America's website revealed the following 30 month term CD for IRA accounts. Bank of America – 30 Month Term CD for IRA Accounts, with the following attributes:
- 2.10% annual yield
- $2000 minimum balance to open
- 30 month fixed term (penalty incurred if taken out of CD before 30 months is up)
- FDIC insured
2) IRA Money Market Savings Account
I also found that Bank of America offers a money market savings account designed to fit in IRAs that can be found at the following link Bank of America – Money Market Savings Account for IRA and has the attributes below:
- 0.60% APY, with a variable rate (meaning that rate will increase or decrease as the prime rate changes)
- $100 minimum balance to open account
- FDIC insured
- No fixed term. Money can be moved in and out of money market account as desired (as long as stays in IRA).
Note: In my research, I found that the banks that offer high yield savings accounts, such as the one from Dollarsavingsdirect.com, do not offer their savings account to be housed in IRA account.
So, knowing this information, what does it mean for me?
Well, in my particular case, the 30 month fixed term CD IRA does not suit me because I don't want to have that much money tied up for the fixed term, even though it does have a higher yield. Furthermore, since the yield on the money market IRA account with Bank of America more or less matches the interest on the money market mutual fund in my 401k, I would proceed to invest my cash in the money market mutual fund in my 401k account with Fidelity. You can compare CD rates online to find the best option for your financial situation.
It is not the best return, but it also saves the hassle of having to open up yet another IRA account and keep track of it. Next, it would just be a game of hoping that the interest rates in the US increase at some point, and take this interest rate to higher levels!
Additionally, and maybe even more important, is the key takeaway that there are other investment options in IRA accounts that could yield higher returns for cash reserves than merely what is available in your pre-existing IRA or 401k account.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Keep on learning!

Vacation Time In China (Part 1)Thursday, August 22nd 2013.
The Chinese do not take vacations in the same way that we do in the West. We each slot our own time away from work, carefully scheduling that time to not conflict with the holidays of our co-workers or colleagues. Due to school holidays of our children there are busier seasons and slower seasons, but with the exception of a few days around Christmas and New Year, overall life and business goes on as usual with little interruption. Not so in China.
In China there are 3 major holidays, and on those 3 occasions the country basically shuts down and everyone goes home (literally). Vacation time in China is family time, and the 3 holidays are:
Chinese New Year
This holiday lasts for an official period of 9 days, but in fact everything seems to come to a standstill businesswise for more like 16 days. The holiday is scheduled to begin on the first day of spring in the lunar calendar, which can fall anywhere from the middle of January to the middle of February. Don't ask me how the first day of spring can possibly fall in the heart of the two coldest months of the year. I don't know and no Chinese person has been able to explain it to me. But that's when it happens and that's when everyone in China goes home for 2 weeks to be with their family. And that's when most expats in China, unless they have a Chinese family by marriage, hunker down for a long, boring period of forced rest.
Labor Day (May 1st)
This holiday lasts for 1 week (although many Chinese seem to stretch it out a few days longer), and once again everyone travels home, with few exceptions.
National Day (October 1st)
This vacation recognizes the founding of the People's Republic of China by the Communists in 1949. Again, for 1 week everyone in China goes home for the holidays.
Remember those dates, because if you accidentally find yourselftraveling in China on one of these occasions you're in for one of the most trying times of your life. It will take you days to get a train ticket and when you do you'll be packed in so tightly with so many Chinese travelers that hell will quickly take on a whole new meaning for you. Forget plane tickets, and don't even think about taking a bus.
If you should find yourself in China during any of these holiday periods here's a list of things you can do to fill your time:
1. Read those 4 novels you brought with you, from cover to cover, for the 6th time since arriving in China 2 years ago.
2. Rewrite your will for the 6th time since arriving in China 2 years ago.
3. Write that long explanatory letter to your ex-wife (Father, Mother, etc.) as to why you came to China 2 years ago to escape from her and then tear it up for the 6th time since arriving.
4. Try to learn to cook on a Chinese gas burner with a Chinese wok for the 6th time since coming to China 2 years ago.
5. Become a practising Bhuddist.
6. Go sit and drink by yourself (or with the other Gui Lao losers) in the local watering hole, where even the usual Chinese ladies who work there for commissions on the drinks they persuade you to buy them while they pretend to find you handsome and entertaining are absent, having gone home for the holidays.
7. Practise your karaoke routine so you can really wow your Chinese friends when they return from their holidays.
8. Take up calligraphy as a hobby.
9. Fall into a deep 7 to 14 day trance.
10. Plan ahead and hit the beaches of Thailand 3 days before the holiday begins and don't come back til 3 days after it's over, for the best holiday of your life.
I've tried most of the above and number 10 is the one I most highly recommend.
If, on the other hand, you have acquired a regular Chinese lady companion and you're invited to go home to meet her family, subject to the caveat below, don't hesitate,because you're in for a surprisingly fun and entertaining time, especially if she's patient enough to translate for you endlessly and even more so of you're willing to learn to play mahjong. But be sure to take lots of warm clothes if you are visiting anywhere even slightly north of the South China Sea, because the first day of spring can be damned nasty cold in most parts of China, and many Chinese folk have no heating in their homes.
CAVEAT: BE WARNED, when she takes you home to meet her family she is tacitly announcing to them that the two of you intend to marry, and your failure to later do so will be seen as a massive betrayal by all concerned.


text: Politics 18 December 1998 The KGB interrogated my turkey John Kampfnerrecalls 25 December 1991 in Moscow - the day Gorbachev resigned By John Kampfner Sign up for our weekly email * I had a question for the British ambassador. What country were we in, I wondered? He stopped, frowned, and replied that he was as lost as I was. This was 1991 and a run-up to Christmas like no other. I had arrived in the Soviet Union at the start of that year for my second posting there. Mikhail Gorbachev was facing a pincer movement. On the one side were the liberation struggles of the Baltic republics and the pro-democracy activists in Moscow; on the other was the Communist Party and the security apparatus that supported it - the army and the KGB. That was the year when it all unravelled, a year of extreme hope and fear. Each day brought startling developments. As Gorbachev's power slipped away, Boris Yeltsin, the president of the Russian Federation and his arch enemy, slipped off to a hunting lodge near the Polish border. It was there in early December that he and the heads of Ukraine and Belorussia agreed to kill off the USSR. After that it was a matter of when, rather than if, Gorbachev would stand down and the Soviet Union would formally cease to exist. And in those intervening days, no one knew who was in control of what or where one country's jurisdiction began and ended. Gorbachev decided to do the decent thing on 25 December. For Russians, it is just a normal day - under the Orthodox calendar Christmas falls two weeks later. For western diplomats, journalists and the growing number of businessmen, Gorbachev's timing was inconvenient, to say the least. In those days the western community was small enough for most people to know each other and to do the rounds of the parochial Christmas parties. Christmas brought certain rituals. For those with a weekend to spare there was the trip to Helsinki in early December, to a department store called Stockmans. From there crates of food, household goods and clothes would be brought by lorry over the border and to your front door in Moscow, no questions asked by customs. But greater invention was required to get the two most essential items for a British Christmas - the turkey and the Christmas pud. My wife, Lucy, was returning from a quick trip to London and decided to bring a giant turkey and a Marks and Sparks pud with her. Anyone arriving at Moscow airport is familiar with the vagaries of customs there, and this time they decided to have some fun. She was told to take the bird out of its special deep-freeze container. The officers could not believe anyone would go to such lengths to bring in an oversized bird. They were particularly perturbed by the plastic bag containing giblets. Was she not hiding more dangerous substances? Sufficient "duty" was paid to make it worthwhile for all. While the country was teetering on the brink, business was continuing as usual. The biggest frustration that Christmas was that my newspaper, like most of them then, did not have a Boxing Day issue. So I would have to witness one of the most momentous days of postwar history without being able to write about it. We decided to spend the first half of the day normally. Our traditional Christmas lunch was followed not by the Bond film or any of the usual British TV fare, but by a televised statement at 3pm. "Dear fellow countrymen, due to the situation which has evolved, I hereby discontinue my activities in the post of president of the USSR." A few minutes later Gorbachev signed a decree handing control of nuclear weapons to the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. As he did so, his pen ran out, and he had to borrow one from the head of CNN, who was standing by for an interview. I called various friends who were finishing work that day. We went to Red Square where at 7.30pm the Soviet flag was lowered and the white, red and blue tricolour of Russia raised in its place. The symbolism left them unmoved. Later that evening I went to the home of Lev Kerbel. He was the country's most celebrated socialist-realist sculptor. Just about every giant Lenin worth its marble around the world is his creation. It seemed appropriate that on the day the Soviet Union died, I should go and see a man proud to have been born on the day of the Bolshevik revolution. He was hunched in his small kitchen watching a re-broadcast of Gorbachev's farewell on his flickering screen. He made tea, poured some brandy and tried to make sense of it. "We fought fascism, we fought for the Soviet Union, and now we are told it's no longer there," he said. The following few years would see more breathtaking events under Boris Yeltsin, and more strife and instability. We spent subsequent Christmases at our country dacha, our weekend retreat. That, in itself, testified to change, good and bad. The village had always been closed to foreigners. Its large houses and the forests that led off them down to the Moskva river were for the scientific elite. But they were running out of money and needed dollars. A new elite was emerging, based entirely on wealth. Even my old friend Lev Kerbel was learning to adapt, turning his mind from heroes of Soviet history to heroes of earlier Russian history. This was the new Russia; there was no need to go to Helsinki to get decent provisions - or to charm the customs men to let our turkey through.

Do you feel like you have reached a dead end in your German genealogy research? According to one experienced genealogical researcher, a dead end is usually not "dead" but rather a terminus which cannot be resolved at the moment with the usual or obvious methods. (Volkmar Weiss. Wenn man auf den Toten Punkt gelangt und darüber hinaus. Aus: Genealogie in der DDR 2, 1990)
Most people like to do research in obvious sources, i.e., civil registration or church records. They usually give us what we are looking for: the linkage of the nuclear family over centuries. Church books are a treasure trove until we get to more laconic entries in the beginnings of church registers. Here we often find holes in the desired information. Full names as well as descriptions of professions or standing in the community is not available. Therefore, it becomes necessary to consult other sources. For research among the people of the land there is a 90% chance of an entry about them in a church book not 20 kilometers from their place of residence. For craftsmen, innkeepers, and merchants in small towns, neighboring towns should be considered. Other sources for the German researcher are land records or the records which were connected with rural life.
Considering that our German ancestors were mainly land dwellers, they did not have the right to act and move as they pleased. They were under constraints to comply with authorities in every aspect of their lives. Thus it makes sense to look for further clues about them in records accumulated by local authorities who oversaw community activities, such as Schuld- und Pfandprotokolle, Erdbücher, Amtsrechungen, Kauf- und Handelsprotokolle.
If an ancestor moved, it can become tricky to pursue him further because the most obvious sources often do not give any more clues of his whereabouts. Nevertheless, there is a paper trail to follow. It becomes necessary to gather all imaginable relative and social connections. "Dead ends" can often be resolved through minute constructions of sequential developments in the life of an ancestor.
When less familiar surnames are involved, it is recommended to gather everyone with the same name in the surrounding area, so that the connecting link can be identified and families be traced further.
The most common dead-ended research stems from variability and homonymy of given and family names as well as village names. Other causes for dead ends are false or erroneous entries in sources, but they can also stem from misreading or overlooking details on the part of the researcher himself. Therefore, clarification of dead-ended research is not so much a talent or investigative feel as it is an industrious piece of work in knowing where to look. Such a search should always concern the dead end which is closest to the present time and most important to social origins.

Of course cemetery lots are shooting up in value. People are dying to get in! Taxpayers seek the Tax Fairy in the strangest places. The Tax Fairy is the mythical spirit who can make taxes go away magically, for a reasonable price to a tax wizard who claims to be able to summon her. A Tax Court case yesterday found taxpayers looking for her in cemeteries (Emphasis mine; slightly edited for readability).
Judge Nega's overview:
Heritage Memorial Park Associates 1995-2, Heritage Memorial Park Associates 1995-3 , and Heritage Memorial Park Associates 1995-4 (collectively, partnerships) are Maryland general partnerships. The partnerships were established to acquire cemetery sites, to hold the sites for over one year, and then to contribute the sites to qualified charitable organizations, with the aim to provide individuals who invested in the partnerships with charitable contribution deductions equal to the appraised values of the sites as of the times of the contributions. Glenn R. Johnston and his colleagues promoted the partnerships to wealthy individuals as a way for them to receive a return of tax benefits in the form of passthrough deductions or losses worth significantly more than the amounts invested.
What sort of deductions?
…(petitioner) invested $37,500 in each partnership. He made these investments to increase the amounts of his charitable contributions for the subject years and, more particularly, to receive promoted tax benefits worth significantly more than his investments. He expected that his investments would return him tax benefits worth $50,000 for each subject year.
HMPA 1995-2 claimed the $1,864,850 charitable contribution deduction on that return. Petitioner was allocated $135,127 of that deduction, and petitioners deducted the $135,127 on their 1996 individual return as a charitable contribution. HMPA 1995-2 reported on its 1996 Form 1065 that HMPA 1995-2 had no income or expenses for 1996 (but for the charitable contribution deduction).
So: invest $35,000, deduct $135,000, save (conservatively) 1/3 of $135,000, or $45,000. What could go wrong?
On September 29, 2005, Mr. Johnston was indicted on (1) one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States by selling, claiming, and causing others to sell and claim millions of dollars in false and fraudulent tax deductions for charitable contributions and concealing from the IRS income from the sales of the fraudulent deductions and (2) multiple counts of aiding and assisting in the filing of false returns by investors in the partnerships so that the investors claimed charitable contribution deductions in amounts substantially greater than allowable. These charges involved the partnerships, among one or more other entities. Mr. Johnston pleaded guilty to the first count on April 12, 2007.
Sure, it's a criminal enterprise, but the deductions are still good, right? And didn't the statute run? Nope. The court ruled that the IRS met the procedural requirements to keep the statute of limitations open by properly initiating partnership-level proceedings. The court also ruled that the taxpayer couldn't claim a business loss for the partnership investments:
Petitioners argue secondarily that they may deduct a $37,500 loss for each year as to petitioner's investments in the partnerships. To that end, petitioners assert, petitioner's ownership interests in the partnerships were worthless as of the end of the corresponding years in which the partnerships operated, and he knew that the interests were worthless as of those times and abandoned his interests as of those times. Petitioners add that petitioner invested in the partnerships to make a profit and in furtherance of a legislative intent to encourage charitable contributions.
But the court ruled that seeking charitable deductions isn't a "trade or business," and that no business loss was available. $35,000 spent to net a tax savings of nothing.
The Moral? This thing should never have passed the "too good to be true" test. The deductions depended on incredible post-contribution appreciation in graves. Anybody thinking this sort of thing might actually work really needs to get out more. And there is no tax fairy.

Ferguson is accused of withdrawing money from the bank accounts of business clients to pay federal, state and local taxes but did not make the payments, according to a federal grand jury indictment.
While it makes sense for many taxpayers to outsource payroll functions, the tax law still holds the employers responsible for getting withholdings to the IRS. If you outsource your payroll taxes, you should use Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) online access to make sure your payroll tax remittances are actually hitting your account. If you use a service that doesn't allow you to do this — like many "professional employer organizations" who "co-employ" their clients' workers — you need to make other arrangements, like bonding, to protect yourself.

David Brunori: Congress Shouldn't Make State Tax Systems Worse (Tax Analysts Blog)
As my colleague Maria Koklanaris reported, 29 Democratic members of Congress asked leaders of the California State Legislature to reauthorize and expand the state's film tax credit. Led by Rep. Adam B. Schiff, D-Calif., the federal lawmakers asked California to extend a very bad tax policy, saying that if it doesn't, film jobs will be lost forever to other states.
Why film credits? Why not some other industry? Politicians are the worst at determining what's best for the marketplace. Despite the studies funded by the Motion Picture Association of America that say otherwise, film tax credits don't work. In virtually every state that has them, there's no discernible economic effect — that is, the tax giveaway did not result in more economic activity than would have occurred without it.

The Antigua-based company will send the top five players from this Sunday's Playboy Mansion Party Final to the event, which is to be hosted by former American football player Rodney Peete and attended by over two hundred athletes, celebrities and Playmates.
Players will get to the Playboy Mansion Party Final by winning a qualifying free roll this Saturday or by winning one of the many daily cash satellites between now and then. Players that want to avoid the crowds at the free roll tables can enter a cash satellite Sit And Go with fewer players where buy-ins range from $2 to $10. There will also be $5 multi-table tournament satellites running every day until the 16th.
This year's invitation-only All Star Night event will feature a runway fashion show spotlighting the season's latest swimsuit and lingerie designers and a surprise guest musical performance.

Proceeds from the night will benefit the Hollyrod Foundation For Help And Hope, which is dedicated to providing medical, physical and emotional support to those suffering with debilitating life circumstances such as Parkinson's Disease.
In addition to the special Playboy Mansion Tournament, PlayersOnly.Com's weekly satellites will also send twelve winners to the World Series Of Poker (WSOP).

Over a four-year period, Canberra police fined 201 cyclists for riding without helmets. Another 367 were issued with cautions or warnings.
The statistics were detailed by ACT Policing after the ACT government floated the changes to roads that would allow cyclists to travel at low speeds in shared zones and university campuses.
The government's new five-year road safety plan, released by Road Safety Minister Shane Rattenbury last week, included 39 recommendations to improve safety and encourage more Canberrans to cycle.
The proposal is in stark contrast to new rules and penalties to be introduced by the NSW government, which require cyclists to carry photo identification at all times.
Those caught riding without identification after March will be presented with a $106 fine, which is the same penalty applied to drivers caught without a licence.
Cyclists will also be fined $319 for not wearing a helmet; an increase of 350 per cent on the current NSW penalty. In Canberra, cyclists caught riding without a helmet are fined $118.
An ACT Justice and Community Safety Directorate spokesman said an expert would examine whether people should be able to ride without a helmet in low speed areas, including shared zones, cycling paths and university campuses.
"This action item is not to hold a trial, nor is it flagging an intention to change the laws," the spokesman said.
"It simply recognises that there is some analysis to indicate that the requirement to wear helmets discourages some people from cycling."
The spokesman said the expert would present the government with a balanced review of the initiative and recommendations.
Mr Rattenbury has admitted there is evidence helmets reduce the rate of injuries, although he said there was evidence they were stopping people riding.
"The ANU campus in the city… is all a low speed environment and we can imagine a scenario where people would move across campus or ride to a meeting across the city without having to wear a helmet," he said.
Mr Rattenbury said no helmet rules already existed in other cities across the world and could be used for share bikes offered by buildings or departments.
Late last year, the ACT government introduced a two-year trial requiring motorists to keep at least one metre away from cyclists on territory roads.
Amy Gillett Foundation chief executive Belinda Clark said the trial would help reduce crashes and change the behaviour of motorists.
"A metre matters because it provides a practical measurement for drivers when overtaking bike riders," she said.
"This trial is about sharing the road safely together. A metre matters on all roads in the ACT, regardless of whether there are bicycle lanes or not.
Should ACT relax its bike helmet laws?

Correction 3/18: The song cited is Danny Boy, not Old Danny Boy as originally posted.
Happy St. Patrick's Day! How you do celebrate? Yes, there's the wearing of the green, the singing of Danny Boy or the reciting of odd Irish facts. (Quick: Who was the first president of Ireland? )
If you're in New York City, you can watch the Empire State Building turn green. Ireland, in a bid to lure back tourists after visitor numbers slumped to a five-year low, is using floodlights to create a new hue today for landmarks worldwide including the London Eye, according to Bloomberg.
In Chicago? Perhaps you saw its river dyed green Saturday in celebration.
You can also GO green by taking short showers, switching to compact fluorescent lightbulbs and unplugging electronics. You can eat locally grown green vegetables, drink eco-friendly ale (see Sierra Club's top five picks) or watch an eco-minded film such as Avatar or Food Inc.
Better yet, spend the evening sitting outside and trying to out do Frank McCourt by swapping Irish tales with your neighbors, preferably with a slight brogue.
Readers: Your ideas?
P.S. The first president of the Republic of Ireland was Douglas Hyde.

KITT Replica
Chris Palmer needed five Trans Ams, numerous visits to eBay, countless hours of work and the generosity of several friends to recreate the car that starred in the hit 1980s television show "Knight Rider." And he wouldn't hesitate to do it all over again.
"It was totally worth it – more than worth it," Palmer said of his KITT (Knight Industries Two Thousand) lookalike. "I love this car. Everybody seems to love this car."
Palmer started with a 1991 Pontiac Trans Am, which had a better drivetrain but was nine years newer than the car used in the show. That decision necessitated the purchase of four more Trans Am models – two each from 1982 and 1983 – so he could swap out the panels and parts required to make it look like KITT. The '91 also has a five-speed manual transmission, unlike KITT's automatic, so Palmer chopped the gear shift and swapped out the knob to make it look authentic.
Palmer found KITT's unique dash (complete with two video screens) and the car's trademark front bumper on eBay, and everything operates and sounds as it did on the show. KITT's Michigan vanity license plate reads KNI6HT.
The Detroit-area resident said his 3½-year project would not have been possible without the help of his co-workers at Sled Alley Hot Rods Detroit, as well as Lafata Auto Body, which did the paint. Palmer, president of the newly created Great Lakes Knights Car Club, hopes to build show-quality movie-replica cars for other fans. For now, he's enjoying all the attention he's getting from ultimate KITT car.

Biomass Fuels were biofuels made of food. This was controversial and would be replaced.
(Note: The background section of this page uses most of the same words as the natural gas page of Terra Futura to save time.)
Before there was coal, there was wood. Caveman used wood for their fires. To get wood, they had to cut trees. Wood was also used to build houses, boats, and carts. The invention of the wheel by the Sumerians would not have been possible without wood. Wood was one the most common fuels to light a home, too. A lot of wood was cut to fuel fires. Axes became more sophisticated, too. However, wood could not last forever, so a new fuel source had to be found. That was where coal came in.
In the 1700s, Britain was the biggest miner of coal in Europe and the world. Britain started using the steam engine to power its factories. With very little wood in Britain, coal would work better. Coal was used to power the steam engine. Soon, the steam engine went beyond the factory. As industry spread throughout Europe, the steam engine appeared in ships and in trains. In the 1900s, battleships and power plants started using steam turbines which used coal to heat water into steam to turn a turbine which turned a generator. Even as the steam engine became obsolete, coal continued to be used for electricity. There was one problem. The burning of coal was a contributor to global warming. The solution was clean coal technology. In September 2008, in Germany, the Swedish company Vattenfall built a power plant that ran on clean coal. The purpose of the technology was to eliminate the emissions that were normally created by burning coal. Clean coal would help clean the environment. However, there was another fossil fuel that was causing more trouble than coal: Petroleum.
With the invention of the internal combustion engine in 1860, petroleum started to become an important fuel throughout the West. In the early 1900s, the discovery of vast petroleum reserves throughout Texas finally brought petroleum into the mainstream. It fueled cars, trains, and airplanes. By the mid-1950s, petroleum had become the main source of fuel throughout the world. That did not mean there were hardships. The biggest oil producer was Saudi Arabia, and, in 1973, because of America's support of Israel, Saudi Arabia cut off oil supplies. This stopped eventually, but the cost was clear. By the early 21st century, it became clear that the oil supply was dwindling and carbon emissions from burning oil were contributing to global warming. Another fossil fuel was there to replace it in that instance: Natural Gas.
Natural gas was most commonly found in shale. The most well-known deposit was the Barnett shale. It was once thought that getting natural gas out of the Barnett Shale was impossible. Then, in the 1980s, scientists perfected horizontal drilling techniques to get the natural gas of the Barnett Shale. It was then the natural gas really took off. During the early 21st century, natural gas replaced diesel in buses. This reduced the amount of carbon emissions being produced. By the mid-21st century, natural gas was the most common fossil fuel in use. However, it shared its spot with other cleaner fuels. One notable example was biofuels.
Tech Level: 10
In the early 21st century, biomass fuels started to replace petroleum in cars and trains. The most common was ethanol. Ethanol was being mixed with petroleum in cars. Flex-Fuel Vehicles also had the option of running on E85 ethanol fuel. In Brazil, ethanol had completely overtaken. At the same time, diesel locomotives started using biodiesel. This reduced emissions significantly. Traditional biofuels were controversial because they were made from food. Scientists decided to create a new form of biofuel: Cellulosic Ethanol.

Hello there!
I'm looking for a style of Tex-Mex or Mexican (not sure) that my mid-western friend has not found here in Dallas. It's the kind that uses a good bit of melted queso blanco. I'm not even sure that is a specific style! I don't know where to send her here in town (Dallas). Any suggestions?
I had this style in rural Georgia, but haven't come across it here.

Ubicacion y economia Baños compartidos por mucha gente
Hotel muy bien situado, apropiado para quien busque un lugar para descansar de las caminatas urbanas. Buen desayuno, gente joven. Mejorable la limpieza de la habitación, que se hace al final de la estancia.
Su relación calildad/precio Dificultad de aparcamiento cercano
Ambiente agradable, amable y atento personal, cama cómoda, ajustables temperatura ambiente, limpio, atmósfera agradable. Yo recomiendo sumamente este lugar, y planifique quedarse allí en cualquier momento que vaya a Boston. Nada desagradable. Me he alojado en albergues por todo el mundo y yo lo clasificaría esta justo en la parte superior.
La ubicacion es excelente, y la distribucion de las instalaciones y comodidades el personal a veces esta de muy mal humos
Aventura La limpieza deja mucho que desear;
Me he quedado sorprendida de algunas personas( mujeres la mayoria mayores), que merecen todos mis respetos, i que parecian resisdentes fihas, però que no encajaban con lo que normalmente encuentras en residencias como estas.
Es uno de los mas economicos en Boston. En general esta bien.
Disponibilidad, precio No ac El ruido de la calle
El precio y la ubicación Sólo un ascensor y tuvimos una fuerte sacudida. La habitación estaba caliente como el infierno y hacía frío fuera.
Nada. es absolutamente rechazable. No nos han gustado ni el olor a sucio de la habitación, ni los aseos (y no porque fuesen comunitarios), ni el comedor (que mas parecía de auxilio social), ni tan siquiera el salon de entrada. todo ello hace 57 años (cuando se inauguró) tuvo que ser fantástico pero hoy día hay que reformarlo).
Muy bien ubicado, tiene todos los servicios prometidos, muy completo el desayuno. no corresponde
There was no a/c and no fans. It was hot hot hot in our room on this summer day. The kitchen was almost a joke. We could not find a single spoon or fork! They do not recycle - shame on them!
I was un aware that there was no private room and this place is a youth hostel. I canceled on the spot and then was stuck with a $400 hotel room because Boston is over priced for no logical reason.
Location, modernness, cleanliness, convenience all excellent. Code for doors simplifies the process. Kitchen well stocked and generally available. Bathrooms were large, clean, efficient. Enough so that access was not a problem. We'd use STRBoston again. We visited in November. Our room temperature was around 62-63 degrees -- controlled by locked thermostat in hall. Window would not lock, but fixed the next morning. Hair driers did not work -- took two days to fix -- used others on floor above.
It was definitely cheap, that's for sure. We liked that it has a full kitchen every other floor and also many bathrooms. Since it's a hostel, you do share those with others but that was never a problem for us. Even though there were other people staying in the building, I was never in the kitchen with any one or found myself waiting for a bathroom. Also the bathrooms were decently clean and always well stocked. We also liked that since there is a full kitchen there's are dishes and silverware to use (which of course you should place in the dishwasher when done) which came in handy when we bought a bottle of wine but forgot about the bottle opener and glasses. Even though it appeared generally clean and well kept, the fact that there were two cockroach traps in our bedroom and then I saw another in the kitchen, kind of really skeeved me out. Luckily never saw any roaches in them though. Also, we thought we would be getting a queen bed but it was definitely just a full and also not as fluffy and comfy as the other hostel from this same company that we had previously stayed at. The worst thing about the place was the location though. The closest T station is a little under 20 minute walk, which was very awful when carrying luggage when it's snowing/sleeting out. Not fun at all. You can easily grab a taxi but the extra $6 each way adds up. There is also a bar right across the street, so with the loud drunken men chatting it up outside all night combined with the constant trucks and other loud vehicles, we found our room was never silent and it was very hard to fall asleep or to sleep in. Wouldnt stay here unless you're really desperate to save a couple bucks. There's another hostel owned by the same company located at 30 West Broadway across from the T station that is the 20 minute walk away from this one. We stayed there last year and loved it, the $30 or so less a night for this one wasn't worth it.
It was clean, had the basic necessities, easy to access, good kitchen and laundry facilities, safe, convenient location close to buses and downtown, affordable price. It was across the street from a bar and at night the bar patrons were quite noisy until 2:00 am, making it difficult for me to sleep well. Also, there is no parking close by, so people with vehicles need to know that they will have to park far away and walk for about 20 min. to reach a parking garage from the hotel. There is no dining area, so patrons need to eat in their rooms.
