1 answer
A:Laminates are fine for basements but would be ruined (as with any natural product) if flooded.

Kyle Mills and James Franklin prospered as the BLACKCAPS enjoyed a solid start to Stephen Fleming's 100th Test match against South Africa at Centurion.
The BLACKCAPS skipper will be happy with his side's efforts in the opening day, responding to the loss of Shane Bond and then the toss.
But the visiting attack enjoyed the upper hand as the tourists overcame both of these setbacks, and limited the Proteas to 266 for eight from their 90 overs.
Mills (four for 34) and Franklin (3/67) led the way, with Chris Martin taking the other wicket as the hosts were reduced from 94 for one to their end of day total.
Mills took the first wicket of the series, dismissing the dangerous Herschelle Gibbs for six in only the fifth over of the innings, the right-hander playing on to his stumps.
Host captain Graeme Smith showed few signs of the finger injury which troubled his build up as he shared a half-century stand with Boeta Dippenaar to move his side to 85 for one at lunch.
The pair added another 10 after the interval before James Franklin took the opposing skipper, for 45, with a trademark lbw, trapping Smith on the back pad.
The BLACKCAPS went on to take the ascendancy in the afternoon session, claiming two more wickets at a cost of 68 runs.
Next to go was Dippenaar, who having reached his 50, added only two more runs before falling to Mills, allowing Peter Fulton a regulation catch at forward square leg.
Eleven more runs were added in eight overs before Ashwell Prince (nine) clipped Mills to Scott Styris at second slip.
Franklin was brought back into the attack in the sixth over after tea and removed Kallis, another veteran marking his 100th Test.
The all-rounder's innings began in stubborn fashion, and he had seemed ready to cut loose.
But after dispatching Franklin for four, the left-armer extracted immediate revenge, pitching a tremendous yorker to return the ICC Cricketer of the Year back to the pavilion for 38.
Franklin soon sent AB De Villiers (27) the same way, the ball swinging from leg to off and deceiving the hometown hero.
Mark Boucher put on 18 before nudging a Martin delivery into the slips in the 82nd over. Fleming caught it expertly after some juggling in the slip cordon.
Shaun Pollock's first innings of his 100th Test ended in similar fashion on 24, edging Mills to Styris, who caught it at the first attempt.
Tailenders Dale Steyn (20) and Nicky Boje (eight) remain unbeaten, but the BLACKCAPS can look back on a good first day.

Had BBL done nine weeks ago you can see from pics there is no projection at all. I had 2300ccs lipoid off and 800cc placed into each cheek. Were the back lipo is fine the buttocks are still flat,no option but to do implants. How long do I have to wait before I can have that done.
How Long Should I Wait for Butt Implants After a BBL? (photo)
Doctor Answers 5
Brazilian Butt Lift followed by Implants......?
I'm sorry to hear about your poor results with the Brazilian Butt Lift. The BBL is a great procedure in the hands of an experienced surgeon who has a good technique to provide live fat cells to transfer to your buttocks as well as one who can provide for you instructions for a good routine to follow after surgery to keep your fat cells alive.
In contrast to what some surgeons may tell you about the Brazilian Butt Lift....... in the right hands, fat grafting to the buttocks (the BBL) can provide for you the most dramatic and natural results you can obtain if you are looking for a larger buttocks and an hourglass shape for your overall figure. This procedure uses your own fat, so it feels 100% natural. Plus, you get the benefits of liposuction to slim your waistline (and whatever other body parts you would like) at the same time as enlarging and shaping your buttocks.
As far as having Butt Implants, I have done many, with good results, but always caution patients about the unnatural feel and the high complication rate. In your situation, I would recommend waiting at least 1 year to try to be sure you don't kill the fat which was transferred if any survived. If none survived, then you can proceed anytime. However, it looks to me as though you are still a good candidate for the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure, performed by a surgeon experienced with this procedure.
Learn more: http://www.DiscoverTheBeauty.com
Why would your Brazilian Butt Lift not be effective? That is the REAL Question Here
You can still have a good result, but you need another procedure. Here is why. If only 2300 cc were removed from you, then an optimal operation was likely not performed. If one liposuctions the arms, inner thighs, entire back, abdomen, and flanks extensively to get the most fat possible in your body type, then between 3500 and 5000 cc should be possible. Of course, it is sometimes hard to tell from pictures. You still look like you have viable fat cells that were not relocated.
Furthermore, I am quite surprised that with 2300 cc, 800 cc of viable fat was able to be injected. That ratio seems off. The ratio of amount of fat removed (aspirate) to amount of fat that is possible to inject is different than that. For about every 1500 cc of aspirate, your surgeon would get about 450 to 600 cc of viable fat. Either viable fat was not injected or the amounts are off. Looking at your before afters, you have much more fat that can be removed. Please do not resort to buttock implants just yet. Many surgeons would agree that the complication rate and long term damage from butt implants are not worth it. If they end up getting removed, which many do eventually, you will have loose skin and thinned out tissue in your buttock. Your buttock will look aged. I would highly suggest that you gain a bit and in about 3 to 6 months, proceed with another BBL before considering the almost irreversible road of butt implants. Your results seem like the can be dramatically improved. Good luck. Here is a link that will show you results with body types like yours as well us other possibilities.

Buttock Implants After Unsuccessful Fat Injections
Given that you are over two months after your buttock fat injections, and whatever has been injected is no longer obvious, you are really safe to proceed with buttock implants at any time. Fat injections are placed either just under the skin and/or into the gluteus maximus muscle. Buttock implants, however, would be placed in your case underneath the gluteal maximus muscle in a completely different location than that of the fat inejctions. The prior history of unsuccessful fat injections does not preclude buttock implants as soon as you feel comfortable and recovered from your prior liposuction procedure.

While many now offer Brazilian Butt Lift, not everyone seems to be able to keep the transferred fat alive!
There is just no way you had 800cc of fat injected into your butt and still look so flat. Most likely you had no fat, or no viable fat injected into your butt.
Since no fat seems to have survived, your only limiting factor is to wait to be fully healed to minimize implant infection risk at the time of your butt implant procedure.
This time I recommend you seek out a board certified plastic surgeon who can show you a complete library of his own before and after pictures so that you can see what his experience is.

Buttock Implants After BBL
Allow me to share with you some information that you may not hear elsewhere. There are only two proven safe and relatively effective methods for Buttock Augmentation: 1) Autologous Fat Transfer (using your own fat, transferring from one area of the body to the other) and 2) Buttock Implants (semi-solid silicone rubber implants that cannot rupture &/or leak). Both are very good options so what it comes down to, like any surgery, is proper patient selection. Indeed because at least 50+ % of the fat transferred will melt away within a year, most patients are not good candidates because they lack an adequate amount of fat to harvest. Thus buttock implants become a very good, safe, and long term reliable option for most patients seeking buttock augmentation (at least in my practice). I prefer to insert the implants through a single 2 ½ inch long incision over the tailbone (concealed within the crevice between the buttock cheeks). The implant should always be placed under or within the gluteus maximus muscle. In this position, the implant is less palpable, less visible, and does not sag over time unlike implants placed on top of the muscle. Therefore it is extremely important to seek consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in this procedure.
But to answer your question, the general rule would be to wait six months before proceding with another surgery in the same area...such as buttock implants. However, after a live physical examination and consultation it may be determined that you are ready for buttock implants in as little as a month or so. Hope this helps...RAS

That's it for Markets Live today.
You can read a wrap-up of the action on the markets here.
Thanks for reading and your comments.
See you all again tomorrow morning from 9.
Australian shares have closed at their highest since mid 2008, as fears of a military escalation between Ukraine and Russia eased and local economic growth came in stronger than expected.
The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 Index lifted 46 points, or 0.9 per cent, on Wednesday to 5446.2, the highest finish since June 2008 - although just pipping last October's high - while the broader All Ordinaries Index rose 0.8 per cent to 5457.3.
Local shares climbed at the open after equity markets in the United States and Europe rallied on Tuesday night.
Tensions between Russia and Ukraine appeared to ease, pushing the S&P 500 Index to an intraday record, and European stocks closed with strong gains after Russian President Vladimir Putin said in a news conference that there is "no need yet" to use military force in Ukraine.
Stocks remained buoyant after ABS data showed the gross domestic product rose 0.8 per cent in the December quarter.
"The economy grew faster than economists expected but we still think the Reserve Bank of Australia will keep rates on hold this year," UBS interest rates strategist Matthew Johnson said.
Australian states have improved their rankings in a global survey of mining provinces, but are still considered less attractive places to invest than several Scandinavian countries.
Sweden and Finland were ranked by Canada's Fraser Institute as the most attractive places for miners to invest, in the Institute's most recent annual survey of mining executives.
The survey ranks 122 different mining jurisdictions across a range of measures, from geology and the availability of labour and infrastructure to the risks of political interference.
The jurisdictions were rated differently across different measures, but Sweden was rated the highest in a composite index published by the Institute this morning.
Western Australia was the highest ranked Australian jurisdiction, finishing sixth globally, with South Australia ranked 11th.
WA was ranked the world's second most attractive location by geology behind Alaska, but slipped down a few notches on the back of frustrations about some environmental regulations, native title and policy matters.
Australia's two most populous states - New South Wales and Victoria - were the lowest ranked Australian jurisdictions, coming in at 39 and 33 respectively. Tasmania was ranked 27th, Queensland 24th and the Northern Territory in 13th position.
And here are the best and worst for the day.
Paladin shareholders continue their roller coaster ride this year, but can enjoy a 12 per cent rise for today, at least.
Most of the gains were made early, but the ASX 200 managed to add 46 points, or 0.9 per cent, to finish above the most recent peak in October and register its highest close since mid 2008.
The benchmark index ended the day at 5446.2, while the All Ords also gained 46 points to 5457.3.
IT was the best performing sector, up 2.1 per cent, led by a 3.1 per cent gain in Computershare. Consumer discretionary stocks and financials were also up strongly - Westpac jumped 1.7 per cent and was the best of the banks.
BHP was up 1.2 per cent.
Gold stocks finished down, as did listed property trusts and telcos, after Telstra eased 0.2 per cent lower.Back to top
Revealed: the incredible stock pickers at the SEC!
Serious question marks have been raised about insider trading by employees at the US Securities and Exchange Commission with academic research pointing to a long history of profitable deals ahead of off-limit trading periods.
A new report by academics in the US suggests that employees working at the SEC are trading on inside information relating to investigations and upcoming enforcement actions.
In the report titled "The Stock Picking Skills of SEC Employees," researchers found that SEC employees' stock purchases look harmless enough, but when they go to sell their stocks, they have an uncanny ability to beat the market.
"In short, it appears that SEC employees continue to take advantage of non-public information to trade profitably in stocks under their regulatory purview," write Shivaram Rajgopal, a professor of accounting at Emory University, and Roger M. White, a doctoral student in accounting at Georgia State University.
The Washington Post reported that a spokesperson for the SEC, which has made crackdowns on insider trading a priority in its enforcement division, declined to immediately comment.
A Chinese solar company said it may not be able to make an 89.8 million yuan ($14.6 million) interest payment in full by the March 7 deadline, in what may be the first default of an onshore bond.
Shanghai Chaori Solar Energy Science & Technology, a maker of cells to convert sunlight into power, plans to pay 4 million yuan to bondholders, the company said in a statement to the Shenzhen stock exchange yesterday.
A default would highlight strains in China's financial system after a trust product issued by China Credit Trust was bailed out in January.
China's renewable energy industry faces a record $7.7 billion in bonds maturing this year, testing the resolve of Premier Li Keqiang who needs to allow industry consolidation to slow a build-up of debt in the economy estimated by a state think tank to account for 215 percent of gross domestic product.
"This is the first onshore default," said Yang Kun, a bond analyst at Guotai Junan Securities. "It shows regulators' attitude toward defaults has changed and they're silently permitting defaults. Risk appetite will slump substantially."
Guosen Securities estimates Chinese non-financial companies' debt ratios reached 93 per cent last year, while the average in Asia hasn't surpassed 70 percent in the last 10 years.
Hong Kong investment firm Cheung Kong Infrastructure Holdings may block Australian gas transporter APA Group's $2.06 billion takeover of smaller rival Envestra.
In a statement to the ASX, Envestra said it recommended the takeover but added that two of its directors, CKI chief financial officer Dominic Chan and CKI chief planning and investment officer Ivan Chan, "do not consider the scheme to be in the best interests of Envestra shareholders".
The CKI executives did not say why they oppose the sale but they must explain their position in a scheme booklet Envestra plans to send to shareholders in the next three weeks, sources told Reuters.
The CKI executives may not oppose the sale outright and may demand a higher price, the sources said. CKI executives could not immediately be reached for comment.
An unravelling of the deal would be a surprise blow to APA, which distributes about half Australia's gas and wants to broaden its reach. In 2012, it paid $1.4 billion for Hastings Diversified Utilities Fund.
CKI holds a 17.46 per cent stake of Envestra. For the deal to go ahead, more than 75 per cent of non-APA shareholders must support the sale. CKI's holding amounts to about 26 per cent of non-APA shares, which means its approval is necessary.
Envestra shares are up 2.6 per cent at $1.18, while APA are flat at $6.57.
The house always wins, but some houses win more than others. As you can see from the chart, in a little over 10 years Macua has eclipsed Las Vegas as a source of gambling revenue.
Macau is one of two "special administrative regions" of China (the other is Hong Kong). China allowed foreign gaming companies into the region in 2002.
"VIPs account for about two-thirds of Macau's casino revenue," writes Bloomberg Businessweek:
"The majority are mainland Chinese who bet on credit because of the country's currency controls. The laws restrict to 20,000 yuan ($US3,300) the amount a citizen may take across the border and a maximum of 10,000 yuan from a cash machine in a day.
"That's not enough for a VIP, who by the industry's definition bets at least $US1 million during every visit to the territory, the only place in China where casinos are legal.
"So most big spenders from the mainland play with chips loaned to them, at no interest."
Listed casino companies operating in Macau include the Hong-Kong listed Galaxy Entertainment, the US-listed Wynn Macau and Melco Crown Entertainment, and Hong Kong's SJM Holdings.
China will "accelerate" negotiations for a free trade agreement with Australia, Premier Li Keqiang has said in his opening speech to the National People's Congress.
Delivering his first government work report as Premier at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Wednesday, Mr Li said China would maintain its annual economic growth target at "about" 7.5 per cent, signalling an unwillingness to allow growth to slow - even as he warned of "great" downward pressure on his country's economy, and reiterated the urgent need for China to push through reforms to restructure its economy.
"We are at a critical juncture where our path upward is particularly steep," he said, adding that the global economic recovery remained unstable and uncertain.
Mr Li also flagged a move toward a wider trading range for the Chinese yuan, and to grant financial institutions greater power to set their interest rates.
"We will keep the renminbi exchange rate basically stable at an appropriate, balanced level, expand its floating range, and move toward renminbi convertibility under capital accounts," he said.
Economists expressed concern that China's failure to reduce its growth target may show a lack of determination in ramming home much-needed economic reforms as China rebalances its economy away from investment-led growth, and more toward consumer-led growth.Back to top
Supermarket chain Coles has unveiled plans to invest $1.1 billion over the next three years building 70 new supermarkets and creating more than 16,000 jobs.
The capital investment program - unveiled by outgoing Coles managing director Ian McLeod in Canberra - represents a significant step up in Coles's expansion plans and confirms the role of the retail sector as a significant source of jobs growth over the next few years.
Mr McLeod said Coles's new store expansion would create almost 8,500 full-time equivalent retail jobs as well as more than 8,200 construction jobs over the next three years.
Coles has also pledged to treble the number of indigenous staff from 1,000 to 3,000 before 2020.
Mr McLeod said the $1.1 billion investment in new stores reflected Coles's confidence in the future of the food retail sector.
Over the last five years Coles has opened about 20 new supermarkets a year but closed a similar number, so net new-store growth has been limited.
Glencore Xstrata, the world's fourth-biggest mining company, is studying separate deals with Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton in Australia to reap cost savings at struggling coal and nickel operations.
The company is assessing a bid for BHP's Nickel West assets in Western Australia, which are near a Glencore nickel project, chief executive Ivan Glasenberg said. The sale also has attracted rival Mick Davis, former CEO of Xstrata, whose X2 Resources has studied bidding, a person familiar with the matter told Bloomberg.
A combined Glencore-Rio coal business on the east coast of Australia would save more than $US500 million, Credit Suisse said last week. The price of power-station coal is trading near a four-year low.
"There's a lot to be done where we can get substantial synergies," Glasenberg, told analysts in London yesterday regarding the possible coal tie-up. "We're talking to Rio Tinto, but it takes time for both sides to assess each other's assets. We've been talking to them for a long time. How far we'll get and how soon we can reach an agreement, I don't know. But it's something that clearly makes a lot of economic sense."
Glasenberg also said Glencore remains in talks with China Minmetals for an asset that's been valued at more than $US5 billion.
"There's no roadblock in the talks," the billionaire said, referring to a copper mine in Peru that Glencore offered for sale last year. "We are in discussions with a potential buyer and if we can get the right price we will go ahead and sell it."
Bill Gross, the founder and boss of the world's biggest bond fund manager, PIMCO, says that this could be the last year that central banks' policies underpin high asset prices, which implies that 2014 could be another good period for riskier assets such as shares.
"As long as artificially low policy rates persist, then artificially high-priced risk assets are not necessarily mispriced," writes Gross in his latest regular investment outlook notes. "Low returning, yes, but mispriced? Not necessarily."
"It is reasonable to forecast at least a 12-month future where risk assets can outperform the safest assets. In plain English, stocks, bonds and other "carry"-sensitive assets would outperform cash."
"Continue to be mindful, however, of longer-term consequences. As quantitative easing ends in the US, liquidity in corporate bonds will be challenged."
"If inflation begins to appear as a result of five years of artificially low policy rates worldwide, then assets may indeed be mispriced."
Activity in China's services industry ticked up in February from a two-and-a-half year low the previous month, confirming other data showing a pick-up in services even as manufacturing activity slows.
The HSBC/Markit Services Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rose to 51.0 in February from January's 50.7, buoyed by new orders, remaining above the 50 line that separates expansion from contraction.
The rise tallied with the official non-manufacturing PMI, released earlier in the week, which showed activity at a three-month high, and contrasted with two surveys that showed manufacturing activity slowed in the month..
"February data signalled stronger expansions of business activity and new work at Chinese service-sector firms," HSBC/Markit said in a statement.
"That said, the rates of growth remained subdued in the context of historical data."
The data came as Premier Li Keqiang told China's annual parliament session that expanding domestic demand will be a major economic driver and an important structural adjustment as the country pushes ahead with reforms to promote consumer-led growth.
The PMI found that service-sector firms remained optimistic in February, generally expecting business activity to be higher than current levels in one year.
Carsales.com.au this morning announced it will pay $7.2 million for another 3 per cent stake in iCar Asia, bring its share to 22.9 per cent.
The purchase represents the "maximum permitted 'creep'" under corporations law, the company said in an ASX announcement.
iCar Asia owns and operates a network of online automotive sites in ASEAN with operations in Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia reaching more than 4.5 million unique visitors every month.
Carsales shares are down 1.9 per cent to $10.62.Back to top
While the RBA kept the cash rate steady yesterday, lenders continue to push down the price of fixed loans.
Westpac-owned St George is the latest bank to cut its fixed mortgage rates, lowering its three-year rate to 4.99 per cent from today.
The cut, which follows reductions from National Australia Bank's on Monday, takes St George's three-year fixed-rate offering to the lowest of the big four.
The offer is open to new customers and existing borrowers with the bank who want to fix part of their loan.
"We're seeing many of our customers choosing to fix a large part, but not all, of their loan,'' said Andy Fell, the general manager of retail banking.
''This gives customers the peace of mind that comes from a set repayment each month, but with some flexibility of a variable loan.''
The latest round of cuts in fixed rates have been affected by a slide in bond yields, which has pushed down the cost to banks of borrowing two and three years.
Time for a look around the region. Stocks are mostly higher after comments from Russian President Vladimir Putin signalled the Ukraine crisis won't immediately escalate.
- Japan (Nikkei): +1.5%
- Hong Kong: +0.2%
- Shanghai: -0.6%
- Taiwan: +1.05%

''My sense is that this isn't going to be the thing that takes down the bull market,'' says Mark Matthews, Singapore-based head of Asia research for Julius Baer. ''At the margin you have positive developments in China. I don't see a lot to complain about right now.''
China set a growth target of 7.5 per cent today as an annual meeting of Communist Party officials begins.
Maintaining expansion close to last year's 7.7 per cent would help sustain demand for oil and iron ore and support a global economy. At the same time, analysts from UBS to Societe Generale say a lower goal would've been more in keeping with the government's pledge to move away from growth at all costs. The inflation target is 3.5 per cent.
''I feel like an important decision has been made in China,'' says Julius Baer's Matthews. ''They have chosen to focus on quality over quantity.''
Some more on that Credit Suisse report on Chinese money pouring into Australian housing, which is gaining quite some traction on our sites.
Wealthy Chinese buyers have purchased $24 billion of Australia housing in the past seven years, and over the next seven years an additional $44 billion will be spent on residential property, the investment bank estimates.
But the figures might even understate the true picture of Chinese investment in Australian property.
That's because there are alternative means to do so which fall outside of readily trackable measures of this trend, such as when a Chinese national provides the money for an Australian-based family member, friend or solicitor to purchase a property.
"Or when an Australian citizen sells her apartment in Shanghai and switches into a Melbourne Docklands flat," the Credit Suisse strategists say.
The four measurable routes to the so-called "Quarter Acre Dream" are
- a Chinese citizen buying off-the-plan in Australia with FIRB approval
- a Chinese citizen with temporary residential needs buys a house through the Significant Investor Visa scheme ($5 million and higher)
- purchase of a property for redevelopment purposes by a Chinese citizen through FIRB approval
- Chinese settlers with permanent residential status who doesn't need purchase approval.
Qantas' embattled chief executive, Alan Joyce, insists his relationship with the Abbott government is "very good" despite suggestions it has become strained, pointing out that he has been talking to senior ministers as recently as today.
Days after the Abbott government dashed his hopes of a debt guarantee, Joyce told a business audience in Sydney that Qantas respected the decision.
"My focus now [is that] we have to implement a significant transformation of the business," he said. "We are facing significant challenges. It is up to the management team to focus on the change agenda."
Earlier this week Qantas made clear that it was riled about the government's decision to ditch the prospect of a guarantee - in the form of a standby debt facility - in favour of attempting to repeal a section of the Qantas Sale Act.
For households, the key takeaway today from the strong GDP data is that the savings rate dropped below 10 per cent for the first time since 2010, which may be a sign that consumers are feeling more confident, writes JP Morgan economist Stephen Walters.
"The fall in the savings rate helps to square decent spending outcomes against what has been pretty sluggish growth in household income," he writes.
Indeed, the pick-up in consumer spending over the fourth quarter of 2013 came against a backdrop of continued pressure on household incomes, with the quarterly gain "funded" by lower household savings, points out Westpac economist Andrew Hanlan.
Household disposable income - which nets out interest and tax payments – was down 0.2% for the quarter in real terms (after inflation) with annual growth slowing to 1.1%, implying declining income in per capita terms.
"With wages growing at the slowest rate for more than a decade and the jobless rate rising, it will take further sustained falls in the savings rate to deliver decent household spending outcomes from here," reckons Walters.Back to top

Now it does, and that's how `defproc' communicates to `scheme' so that [email protected][item]' gets typeset as a formal argument. Since `item' is bound by this use of `defproc', though, `item' doesn't have its usual meaning in the body of the `defproc', and the uses of `item' for `itemize' don't work. The error message needs to be improved to say something like "illegal use of a formal-argument name", and I'll work on that. We try to avoid breaking compatibility with old files like this, but there was no way around fixing the binding scopes. To avoid this binding collisions, you have the usual options: you could add `@(define real-item item)' at the top-level and use `real-item' inside this particular `itemize', or you could change the formal argument name `item' in the `defproc'.

Price. Speed. Free version offers same prep features as paid (with less help). Competent, credible tax prep tools. TaxTutor guidance rewritten this year.
Fewer help links within Q&A than competitors; some just go to glossary. Still references IRS instructions. Fewer financial download sources than TurboTax.
Bottom Line
If you don't file a state tax return and don't care about a few unnecessary extras, you can prepare and e-file your federal income tax return free using TaxACT. The cost for the Deluxe and state version of this trusted, long-time contender is minimal. Try it first.
Multiple Help Sources
Though it improves some every year, and this year took a big leap by rewriting the voluminous TaxTutor Guidance, TaxACT doesn't quite come up to the standard set by TurboTax in terms of its help resources. And this is critical when you're dealing with a process that is so foreign to most people.
TaxACT does an excellent job of supporting its users, though. Like the other sites reviewed here, it sometimes includes text that further explains the financial situation being described in the question. Hyperlinks may take you to even more exposition, but sometimes they just drop you onto the correct line of a glossary.
The vertical pane on the right displays context-sensitive questions and answers. And when you enter a search term or phrase in the Answer Center box, TaxACT provides four types of help: links to the best answers and to content that other people found useful, "Jump-to" links that take you to related forms and schedules, and definitions from the glossary. This is more than H&R Block offers on its tax prep site. In addition, paid users of tax help get free phone and email support, another important extra that H&R Block doesn't provide.
Still, Try It First
If you do a great deal of investing, keep in mind that the only way to avoid typing in all of your data manually is by importing directly from Gainskeeper or Tradelog, or exporting a CSV file from your broker. TaxACT is not the best option for sophisticated investors.
And of course, at some point, even the top-of-the-line TurboTax product isn't enough. If you don't feel confident signing your name on your 1040, it's time to get professional help.
But most people don't have overly complex tax situations, just some W-2 and/or self-employment income (the latter can be challenging, but TaxACT Deluxe Online provides the tools to report it), maybe some interest income and an IRA and a mortgage. When you experience life-changing events like a divorce or sale of a home or a new job that has some complicated tax implications, you can still use TaxACT, but consult a tax expert if anything about your situation is unclear on the site and you can't clear it up with a quick phone call or chat.
That said, and considering that TaxACT may be a completely free option for you, I again suggest that you try it first. It's as competent, easy-to-use and comprehensive as TurboTax in many ways. But if you want the absolute best tax software site, the one that sometimes answers your questions before you even know to ask them and provides better support for investors, you should go with our Editors' Choice, TurboTax Deluxe Online. It's the best tax website overall, especially in terms of help. And support is the name of the game when you're dealing with your federal and state tax obligations.

Benefits of In-House Financing
Buckeye is proud to offer our financing options to you in-house to make your experience easy and convenient. We often have customers question the benefits of in-house financing over a line of credit. We feel that by offering you the option of in-house financing and explaining the differences to you, you are benefiting in the following ways:
In-house financing does not tie up collateral outside of the boat, like your house, car, RRSP's etc. as lines of credit do.
Our in-house financing can be paid out at any time without penalty.
Any additional payments made above the required premium are applied directly to the loan principle.
In-house financing pays down principle and interest every month, whereas lines of credit have only interest that needs to be paid monthly; therefore, a line of credit takes longer to pay off. In this case, even though the interest rate is sometimes lower than that of in-house financing rates, consumers can pay more interest in the long run due to longer term debt.
Our in-house financing is more convenient and less hassle for you.
For further information about in-house financing, please call our Business Manager,

Brooklyn boutique label Electric Cowbell is set to release a brand new batch of eclectic 45s. This week, they're highlighting Boston-area Ethiopian group Debo Band's cover of "Gedawo," a 1970s Ethio-funk classic from singer Ayalew Mesfin. While Debo Band's version sounds like a spastic afro-rock power tune (a 15-piece band layed down the live backing tracks), Kiddid's remix takes things into dub-territory — deep bass, synth upstrokes, et al. Grab both on 7″ vinyl and stream/download Kiddid's remix below.[audio:http://www.okayafrica.com/wp-content/uploads/13-Gedawo-Kiddid-Gedubwo-Mix.mp3|titles=Debo Band "Gedawo (Kiddid Gedubwo Mix)]

It's no secret that the New York Rangers have gotten off to a sluggish start to the 2013 season, being 8-7-2 (18 points), but why has the fan base all of a sudden completely turned on the coach?
Just because the team didn't race out to a hot start and take the early command of the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference in a shortened season where the Rangers came in considered to be Stanley Cup contenders?
Don't forget — John Tortorella has a good track record as a head coach in the NHL, which is why he even made it to New York in the first place. Also, they don't pick just anyone to possibly head an Olympic roster.
Perhaps the fans feel that Tortorella has overstayed his welcome as the head coach of the New York Rangers. We're not sure why they'd think that way, given his track record.
He's a great coach. As a head coach, he has a career record of 383-309-38-63 with seven playoff appearances, three division titles and, oh yeah, a Stanley Cup.
Coaches with those credentials don't just fall in your lap. Rangers fans should see themselves lucky to have him. In the big picture, just think of what he's done.
Last season's team didn't have much star power. Besides Marian Gaborik and Brad Richards on the offensive end, it was a bunch of role guys. They all did their assignments throughout the year, and the team went to the Eastern Conference Finals. This year, a large part of that roster is gone, and a lot of what has been brought in has been sidelined with injuries.
Ryan Callahan, Rick Nash, Aaron Asham, Michael Del Zotto, Dan Girardi, Darroll Powe and soon to be Ryan McDonagh have all missed action with injuries. Even with that, the team is one win away from being in the playoff picture.
Although injures are never an excuse, it's remarkable what Tortorella has been able to get out of his team despite being without some of its better players.
Part of that is motivation. He's one of the best in the business when it comes to motivation, which is why he's so successful. Players know he has their back — just think of his recent presser after the hit McDonagh received from Max Pacioretty — which makes them want to perform for him.
Therefore, when he doesn't get what he's expecting out of his players, he has no problem letting them know it. Brad Richards, Marian Gaborik and Brian Boyle have all seen the bench of various points this year — in moves that didn't seem smart at the time — and it has caused them all to want to get back on the ice and prove their coach wrong.
It's that attitude why Torts is and will be a successful coach. It's only a matter of time until this team starts winning, and when it does, all the "Fire Torts" chats you've heard throughout the city and on social media will be gone.Tags: Aaron Asham, Brad Richards, Brian Boyle, Dan Girardi, Darroll Powe, Hockey, John Tortorella, Marian Gaborik, Michael Del Zotto, New York, New York Rangers, NHL, Rick Nash, Ryan Callahan, Ryan McDonagh

UserLock limits concurrent logins, restricts access, monitors, alerts and reports on session activity throughout the corporate Windows network.
FileAudit monitors, archives and reports on access (or access attempts) to sensitive files and folders stored on Microsoft Windows systems.
RemoteExec remotely installs applications, executes programs, scripts and updates files and folders on Windows systems throughout the network.
WinReporter retrieves detailed information about hardware, software and security settings from Windows systems and automatically generates reports.
UserLock guarantees genuine access security for Windows networks, by preventing possible student pranks and more importantly by thwarting malicious and/or careless users.
On a Windows network, it's very easy for students to disclose their credentials to unauthorized third parties as there is no consequence on their own access to the network.
Thus, several workstations can unduly be blocked by one user and serious security flaws can occur (e.g.: server attacks).
UserLock resolves these issues by restricting or stopping simultaneous sessions (same ID, same password) per user or group of users. So it's possible to limit the students to only one possible Windows connection at any instance
For example, a student having managed to get a teacher's credentials will be able to access confidential information (exam questions, results, etc…) from any workstation on the network.
UserLock will stop account misuse by allowing the administrator to define per user and per group, the workstation(s) that they can or cannot use (by NetBIOS name / IP range). Thus, a student would not be able to login using a teacher's credentials from a room equipped with free access workstations.
In the same manner, it's possible to restrain access to administrative workstations (accounting, finance, etc…)
In the event of abnormal or suspicious behavior having been detected on a workstation, UserLock will allow the administrator to remotely disconnect the user or lock the session from a central console or any online computer.

Sometimes when you're doing a review you just have to call in the experts to show you how it's really done. In this case Fifi and the Boy took a turn with the Vax Air Pet Mini vacuum cleaner. The RRP is £179.99, direct from Vax but if you shop around you can get it for less.
The Vax Air Mini Pet has an Antibacterial H12 HEPA filter that's ideal for households with child or pets. Or people who's children behave like pets. It also has a fairly hefty 2L capacity, which given the size of the cleaner is pretty darn impressive. As the video shows, the only real issue we had with it was the lightweight hose occasionally kinked but overall we were massively impressed with the combination of suction and the tiny lightweight size of the unit. It's ideal for zipping around with and especially good on the stairs.

Aqaba SEZ registers more than 30 firms
By the eve of declaring Aqaba a Special Economic Zone, capping nearly a year of diligent work, more than 30 firms have officially registered as future operators in the zone. ASEZ Commissioner for Investment and Economic Development Imad Fakhouri said the five-member board of commissioners opened the door to official registration on Tuesday, February 13.
"By mid-day, we had received 30 applications, half of them from existing firms that were already in the zone and the remainder are new comers into the area," Fakhouri told the Jordan Times. He said tens of potential investors have so far expressed interest in setting up shop in the 380 sq. km customs-free zone, to be launched on Thursday at midnight. It will be a soft launch pending the accumulation of a clear track record of investors and high-calibre performance over the next few months.
According to Fakhouri, the ASEZ board and the ports authority were hoping to squeeze the duration of cargo handling at the port to "a few hours" as the new project picks up momentum. By mid-February a new set of rules and bylaws will enter into force at the ASEZ to govern the flow of goods to and from the country's sole maritime outlet.
The ASEZ holds the promise of a much reduced sales tax and a flat 5 percent income tax to would be investors in the zone. The ASEZ inauguration had been initially scheduled for Jan. 31, but work on the mega project was postponed for two weeks pending finalization of the legal and legislative groundwork.
In the meantime, the existing 70 firms and merchants had been given a grace period to adapt to new regulations and clear their stash of already taxed goods.
By Friday morning, according to Fakhouri, all registered importers will be eligible to unload their goods on the port duty free. — ( Jordan Times )

Key now banking on Colin Craig
David Cunliffe
Labour Leader
10 June 2014
Key now banking on Colin Craig
John Key and Colin Craig have made it clear they intend to game the electoral system with a seat gifted to the Conservatives in September, says Labour Leader David Cunliffe.
"With ACT virtually unelectable in Epsom, the Prime Minister is indicating he will make an 'accommodation' with the Conservative Party to try to remain in power.
"This is yet another dodgy deal by a party determined to do whatever it can to stay in government.
"John Banks was returned to Parliament in 2011 by 1.1 per cent of the vote and that infamous 'cup of tea', and John Key got his support on a number of controversial and unpopular initiatives.
"National's attempt to deprive hard-working New Zealanders' rights to meal breaks at work, and to reduce their bargaining power over wages and conditions, won't proceed without Mr Banks' support.
"But the ACT MP's belated departure will remind New Zealanders what they got as a result of the deal.
"Charter schools wouldn't exist without it, and National was able to pass the hugely unpopular Asset Sales legislation only with Mr Banks' vote. That was wrong.
"Most New Zealanders will agree with the Electoral Commission and the Labour Party that the coat-tailing provision of MMP, which National refuses to change, is also wrong.
"Labour has a Private Members' Bill ready to go to remove that provision. All Mr Key has to do is agree to support it.
"But he won't because he wants to bring Colin Craig and a rag-tag bunch of candidates into Parliament to shore up a third term in power.
"What might we look forward to as the price of Mr Craig's support? A reversal of the marriage equality legislation; a rewriting of history to suggest man did not land on the moon?
"Banking on the Conservatives is yet another National backroom deal of the kind that New Zealanders have got only too used to over the last six years,'' said David Cunliffe.

Qoo10 Purchases
When I first started an account with GMarket, it was called that at the time, I wanted to buy a green laser pointer. It took me years to buy one pointer because I didn't want my purchase to end up at the customs and I have to pay for extra license and other things. Ironically, my initial purchases were other stuff like mobile casings and micro USB cables.
Subsequently, GMarket changed its name to Qoo10, I have no idea why. I continued my online spree with it whenever I saw any item that I needed on Time Sale or Group Buy. My longest consideration is that drying clothes rack that has been on Time Sale every now and then. The reason why I haven't bought it is because I have no idea where to place it once I dry my clothes there.
A 4-Room flat isn't that easy to have some space for drying umbrellas and clothes despite that tiny service yard. I still find my home small; although I'm lucky to have 90sqm of internal space. My air-con ledge keeps collecting clothes pegs and rags. It's starting to get mouldy because of the rain.
I have been thinking about a robot vacuum since I have absolutely no energy after work and too busy on weekends to clean the floor. Qoo10 sellers love to sell those robotic vacuum cleaners and I have been tempted to get one and use. At least my floor will be 80% clean and less dusty.
It is fun buying from Qoo10 as long as my stuff arrive. Some delays are to be expected especially when it is now near Christmas and New Year. Best to use registered mail or courier because stuff do get lost in the mail for some reason that escape me.

Hilliard Officer Investigated For Allegedly Engaging In Sexual Conduct While On Duty
A Hilliard police officer is on paid administrative leave and under investigation for alleged sexual misconduct on the job.
10TV is not naming the officer because the investigation is ongoing. It has not been determined whether he committed a crime, but the officer's career with the Hilliard Division of Police is very much in doubt.
The signs at Homestead Park in Hilliard warn of children at play and note that the park closes at dark.
An investigation is focused on a Hilliard police officer allegedly at play there after sundown.
"The allegation is that he had sex while on duty in one of our parks," said Hilliard Police Chief Doug Francis.
He says the division received the complaint from an anonymous source earlier this month.
Friday, Francis notified his officer in writing, "there is reasonable cause to believe that you have committed a serious breach of discipline".
Records obtained by 10TV reveal the woman the officer is alleged to be involved with "had been arrested by Hilliard Police for assault in October 2009 and was transported and slated" by the officer in question.
A review of the officer's personnel file shows commendations and positive comments.
Last year, he was called "professional and thorough".
He was commended for "exceptional service" twice in 2010.
Letters in 2009 praised his "compassion and kindness," calling him "a credit to Hilliard Police".
In 2005, he was saluted for "bravery".
The officer's personnel file from this year does not sing the same praises.
A letter dated October 18 of this year enumerated multiple examples of his "lack of performance and repeated violations of rules, regulations and policy," including an on-duty crash that totaled his assigned vehicle.
The officer was ruled "at fault" for being "distracted".
The letter says his totaled cruiser was cleaned out and that "marijuana and drug paraphernalia were found" in his trunk.
When questioned, the officer had "no valid explanation" on how the items ended up in his cruiser.
He was also cited for "incorrect or incomplete reports", and ordered to undergo a "Fitness for Duty" evaluation and now this latest allegation.
Hilliard's Chief calls it a very serious matter.
"The community's got our assurances that we're going to do everything we can to get to the bottom of it and get answers," Francis said.
The officer is on paid administrative leave while the investigation is conducted.
Chief Francis says if the investigation turns up evidence of criminal activity, charges will be pursued.
10TV was not able to reach the officer for comment.

Rutter's Donates $86,000 to Charities
Company's contributions for 2005 near $200,000.
YORK, PA -- The Rutter's Cos. has awarded contributions totaling $86,000 to four charitable efforts in the York, Pa. area. Family-owned and third generation-managed, the Rutter's Cos. is made up of Rutter's Farm Stores, Rutter's Dairy and M&G Realty, a real-estate holding company, reported NACS online.
"It's a great feeling for all of us at Rutter's to make these contributions and to continue a tradition of supporting worthwhile causes in our community," Scott Hartman, president of Rutter's Farm Stores, said in the report.
The company donated $1,000 to the family of Tucker Haas, a 5-year-old cancer patient, to help pay for medical costs. Rutter's matched the monies raised for Tucker at the Oct. 28 Central York High School football game.
In addition, $10,000 went to the Panther Foundation, a non-profit group that raises money to support scholarships and other programs of Central York School District.
Rutter's also gave $25,000 to the Junior Achievement of South Central Pennsylvania to support its Exchange City in York, which will be visited by more than 7,000 students during the current school year. Students learn about American enterprise by working in a life-sized replica of a city made of 14 businesses.
Fifty-thousand dollars was donated to Logos Academy to use for student scholarships. Logos Academy is a non-profit, independent school dedicated to serving the educational needs of York's inner-city children.
Rutter's charitable contributions in 2005 will total approximately $200,000, according to the company.

Oil futures rose slightly Wednesday as U.S. equities pointed to a higher open, but traders remained hesitant to lay big bets without further clarity on the situation in Libya.
Light, sweet crude for October delivery rose 21 cents, or 0.2%, to $85.64 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, after remaining nearly unchanged during early European trading hours. Brent crude on ICE Futures Europe traded up 76 cents, or 0.7%, to $110.06 a barrel.
Market participants took cues early Wednesday from equity markets, which many traders have come to see as a gauge of broader economic sentiment in the absence of fresh fundamental news. U.S. stock futures turned higher, reversing earlier losses, as demand for durable goods rose last month.
"This initial move was tied to the turnaround in the Dow Jones futures," said Darin Newsom, analyst at Telvent DTN. "We seem to see this intermarket play going on right now."
Dow Jones Industrial Average futures rose 4 points to 11145, after falling 83 points prior to the data. Orders for factory goods rose by 4% from the prior month to $201.45 billion, according to the Commerce Department, an upbeat signal on the fragile U.S. economy. The market was expecting a 2% rise.
Oil futures rose to their highest level in nearly a week on Tuesday, on the back of a broad equity-market rally.
Still, oil prices could quickly come under selling pressure at the first sign of a resumption of oil exports from Libya. Rebel forces made strides toward securing Tripoli on Tuesday, capturing the compound of Col. Moammar Gadhafi. However, the Libyan strongman was nowhere to be found and AFP reported fresh firefights near Gadhafi's compound early Wednesday.
Oil prices haven't moved lower, as many have expected, in the wake of Tripoli's swift capture by Libya's rebels. Many market participants appear to be waiting on the sidelines for more concrete reports on the state of the country's oil infrastructure and for signs of the first oil shipments. Many oil companies have said they have no time frame for returning to Libya, and analysts have said it could take months for the oil to begin flowing again.
Still, with Libya now in rebel hands, many investment banks have already cut their forecasts for crude-oil prices for 2012. The country exported 1.3 million barrels of oil a day prior to the outbreak of conflict in February, and the supply disruption has kept oil prices--especially those of Brent crude, the European benchmark--elevated.
Later Wednesday, attention will likely shift to the U.S., as the Department of Energy releases its weekly survey of U.S. oil and fuel inventories. Analysts expect the report, due at 10:30 a.m. EDT, to show oil inventories last week rising 1.3 million barrels, according to a survey by Dow Jones Newswires. Gasoline inventories are seen falling 900,000 barrels, while stocks of distillates, including heating oil and diesel, are expected to rise 700,000 barrels.
Front-month September reformulated gasoline blendstock, or RBOB, recently traded down 0.45 cent, or 0.2%, to $2.8721 a gallon. September heating oil traded up 1.75 cents, or 0.6%, to $2.9600 a gallon.

At one point US light sweet crude fell to $100.02 per barrel in Asian trade. In New York it later closed at $100.86.
Commodities, including oil, have been sensitive to changes in the dollar's value and the latest rebound for the dollar has weakened oil prices.
Also Saudi Arabia said on Sunday that it is investing in oil infrastructure to help meet future demand.
Saudi Arabia has been under pressure from the US to help ease soaring oil prices.
On Saturday US Vice-President Dick Cheney met Saudi leaders in Riyadh to discuss oil prices.
On Sunday the Saudi, the Supreme Council of Petroleum and Mineral Affairs said in a statement: "The kingdom will work with OPEC countries, other producers and consuming countries towards oil market stability and to avoid the effects of harmful speculation."
Analysts say that speculators, who have helped drive up the price of oil, are taking the opportunity to cash-in on their gains.
"I think there's still a lot of profit taking in the market and that is pushing down oil prices," said Tetsu Emori, a fund manager at Astmax in Tokyo.
"The US dollar is also bouncing back from major currencies, so that's adding to the downward pressure."
