Intoxication is a temporary and reversible condition that affects
the central nervous system after a person ingests certain substances, such as
alcohol or drugs. Intoxication affects judgment, the ability to think clearly,
and behavior.
People who are intoxicated may become belligerent, aggressive
(including sexually aggressive), or quiet and may not be able to perform work,
family, or social responsibilities. Physical signs of intoxication include
slurred speech, clumsiness, and problems with memory and attention. Some people
who are intoxicated pass out. Severe intoxication can be a serious threat to
health, and it can even cause death.

Truck v Train - fatal crash
Truck v Train - fatal crash
Emergency services are at the scene of a fatal crash involving a light truck and a freight train just off State Highway 2 north of Woodville.
Railway officials were alerted to the incident by the train driver just before 5 pm this afternoon. It appears the truck was been driven across a level crossing on a small side road leading to the main highway when it was hit and pushed off the tracks into a nearby paddock.
The sole male occupant of the truck was confirmed deceased at the scene shortly afterwards.
The incident has not impacted on traffic flow on the highway.

A Choosing to Preach excerpt, p. 109.
When God commissioned his tabernacle, he wanted a beautiful building, which is a little surprising to some of us. I was raised in a conservative denomination, heavily influenced by the Puritans. Our buildings were never beautiful; they were utilitarian but never physically attractive. These days I visit the old cathedrals of Europe, and I marvel at their majesty. I know, of course, the danger of worshipping structures and how a building can be more a testimony to the builder's ego than a gift of worship to creator God. Still, a large part of me longs for a sense of beauty in the places that I worship.
The sermons I grew up listening to were not beautiful. Just like the buildings they were offered in, the sermons I heard were more functional than they were inspirational. They offered ideas and precious few images. Hey worked on my head but offered very little for my heart. The sermons were meaningful but they were not beautiful, and I think we were the poorer for it.
God exceeds my attempts to understand him. While he honors and encourages my exercise of intellect, my finite mind has its limits. There are aspects of God's character and will for which there are no words. At such times, we come closer to understanding him with an image or with words that describe a picture. There comes a point when all I can do is stand with my mouth hanging open, lost in wonder, love, and praise. At times like this, only these images of awe, the language of the affections will suffice.

* $1 bln new plant project on hold until budget-chairman
* Car sales growth seen flat in FY 12
* Slew of economic reforms shelved by govt
* New capacity could see 40 pct excess in India-chairman
By Tony Munroe and Henry Foy
NEW DELHI, Jan 6 (Reuters) - With India's economy hitting a rough patch and political gridlock stalling reforms, the country's largest carmaker will decide only after parliament's budget session in March on when to break ground on a new $1 billion manufacturing complex.
Maruti Suzuki is in talks to buy two 500-acre tracts of land in the western state of Gujarat but is worried that slowing economic growth will crimp demand for cars -- even as global players crowd into the market and add capacity.
"What options do I have? I can't proceed on the basis that we are going to go back to 9 percent economic growth and 15 percent growth in the car market," R.C. Bhargava, the chairman of India's dominant carmaker, told Reuters.
India's economy is expected to struggle to grow by about 7 percent in the fiscal year that ends in March, and the outlook for the year beyond hinges in part on whether New Delhi pushes through reforms that have long been stalled by political gridlock.
Parliament will hold its budget session in March, after elections in a handful of states including Uttar Pradesh, India's most populous, which will be key to determining whether the ruling Congress can regain the political initiative.
Rising inflation and fuel prices combined with slowing economic growth have battered car sales, which an industry body expects to be flat in the current fiscal year after surging 30 percent in the year that ended in March 2011.
"Car sales really track the GDP growth. If you have a good GDP growth, you have good car sales," said Bhargava, adding that 7 percent economic growth translates to roughly 10 percent growth in auto sales in India.
He said the company has not yet made a decision on when to break ground in Gujarat, where it plans to build three plants in phases at a cost of 60 billion rupees ($1.13 billion) that would increase production by around 2,700 vehicles per day.
"We'll probably do that after this year's budget and after we can make an assessment how the economy is going to grow and how the car market is likely to grow," he said.
Bhargava noted that numerous reforms remained shelved, including a goods and services tax (GST), direct tax code, foreign direct investment in retail, banking and pension reform, and a massive nationwide identity card scheme.
"All of these are at the moment stuck. So what progress we have there -- that will also indicate whether the government and the opposition are keen on accelerating GDP growth or not," he said, adding that the government has little firepower to use fiscal stimulus to spur growth.
"They can't do much in the way of giving any tax cuts or stimulus," he said on the sidelines of the India Auto Expo.
Until about a year ago Maruti, which is 54.2 percent owned by Japan's Suzuki Motor, sold every other car in India but its market share has been eroded by growing competition as local and foreign rivals, such as the Renault SA/Nissan Motor Co alliance, ramp up capacity.
While Maruti enjoys waiting lists as long as six months for its most popular model, the diesel version of the Swift hatchback, Bhargava said that if the industry's investment plans now on the drawing board all come to fruition, India faces a capacity glut.
"If they all come in, then I'm sure, nationally, total installed capacity could be 30-40 percent higher than demand," he said.

Key decisions from today's Council meeting
Thursday 3 October 2013
Key decisions from today's Council meeting
Christchurch City Council met today with the key decisions made outlined below:
Lyttelton's civic square site: The Council approved the Lyttelton/Mt Herbert Community Board recommendation to rename Lyttleton's civic square site as Albion Square and the waharoa (entranceway) is named Ōhinehouroko.
Port Levy Community Hall: The Council agreed to exempt the Port Levy Community Hall from its current building closure policy on the basis that it is not considered dangerous to occupy. This brings the number of buildings exempt from the policy up to seven. The other six exempted on 27 June were Harewood Community Centre, Risingholme Craft Rooms, Duvauchelle Community Hall, Little Akaloa Community Centre, Okains Bay Community Centre and Pigeon Bay Community Centre. The buildings are below 34 per cent of New Building Standard (NBS) but have had little earthquake damage and are not considered dangerous because the low NBS was due to the design of the building not its capacity to withstand future earthquakes.
Lyttelton Recreation Centre: The Council agreed to repair the Lyttelton Recreation Centre to 67 per cent NBS and make significant improvements to the building, including soundproofing and modernising meeting rooms, upgrading the ventilation system, re-roofing the office and squash courts and an improved fit-out.
Norman Kirk Memorial Pool: The Council agreed to replace and rebuild the Lyttelton pool. The pool, which was extensively damaged and is currently closed, will be rebuilt to 100 per cent of NBS combined with some improvements including increasing the size of the toddlers'/children's pool and installing sun shading.
Waltham Pool: The Council agreed to repair Waltham Pool to 67 per cent of NBS and make a number of upgrades to the pool including signage, landscaping, roofing, re-sizing the plant room, fencing, painting, shade sails and other small improvements.
St Martin's Opawa Toy Library building: the Council agreed to demolish the former Toy Library building at 65 Sandwich Street, Beckenham. The building is made of unreinforced brick and as such there are very few options for cost effective repair. The previous occupant of the building has alternative temporary accommodation. The neighbouring school has expressed an interest in buying the site post demolition. The cost of demolition will be met from the renewals and replacement budget. Discussion around a replacement facility is ongoing but the Community Board supports the demolition and supports continued engagement with the community, the Toy Library and the St Martin's Voluntary Library about a possible joint facility in the area.
Sumner Surf Club and toilet block: The Council agreed to enter into a lease with the Crown so that the Sumner Surf Club and toilet block can be rebuilt on their current site. Both the toilet block and the surf club building were demolished post earthquake and the Council's Facilities Rebuild team has been working with the Surf Club to rebuild a joint facility on the same site. The site of both buildings is Crown land and is maintained by the Council as part of the Sumner beach-front recreation area. The lease is re-confirming existing use.
International Relations Policy: The Council agreed to approve the revised International Relations Policy and to revoke the two current Sister City policies. The revised International Relations Policy aims to enhance Christchurch's reputation on the international stage, proactively work with other stakeholders, contains a set of principles and goals, and confirms the status of Sister City Committees. It was noted that a review of the Sister City Strategy was recommended to the incoming Council.
Chisnallwood School Lease
The Council approved a lease renewal to Chisnallwood Intermediate School in Takamatua, for their outdoor Recreation Reserve lease. This will allow the school to enjoy and maintain the grounds and buildings there for the next 33 years
Trams on track: The council confirmed a proposal to reopen tram services from New Regent Street via Cathedral Square and Worcester Street to Rolleston Avenue as soon as possible, and to spend $1.57 million extending the tram network along Oxford Terrace and Cashel Street into High Street.
Council to look at remediation for Flood hit
The Council today has agreed to urgently look at the in remediation plans for flooding in the Dudley Creek/Flockton St flooding area. The Council will engage with all relevant agencies and consider all solutions to flooding issues.
Temporary alcohol bans: The Council resolved to introduce temporary alcohol bans in Addington and Sumner. In Addington, a ban will be enforced on several streets from 9am to 10pm on New Zealand Trotting Cup day, 12 November 2013. In Sumner, a ban will be in place on New Year's Eve, from 7pm on 31 December 2013, to 7am on 1 January 2014, which falls outside the Thursday-Monday permanent alcohol ban.
Airport Zone Plan Change: Chisnallwood School to adopt and notify a plan change that clarifies what activities can occur in the Special Purpose (Airport) Zone.
Draft Land Use Recovery Plan Actions 2 and 6 recommendations to the Minister for Canterbury Earthquake Recovery: The Council approved the recommendation on the Draft Land Use Recovery Plan (LURP) actions relating to the Comprehensive Development Mechanism (previously called the Floating Zone) and Exemplars.
Annual Report 2013: The Council today adopted its Annual Report 2013, outlining the Council's activities and finances over the past year. The Christchurch City Council Annual Report 2013 will be published on or before 3 November 2013 and will be available online and from Council libraries and service centres.

CARETAKER-MANAGER Stuart Heath has called for every part of the Dorchester Town set-up to pull together in preparation for their home encounter with Chesham United tomorrow (3pm).
The county town club decided to relieve manager Phil Simkin of his duties late on Wednesday evening, and the club issued a statement yesterday regarding the managerial situation.
The statement reads: "Dorchester Town Football Club assistant-manager Stuart Heath has agreed to take the team into Saturday's home game against Chesham United.
"A meeting is planned for Monday evening to further discuss the vacant manager's role and all the options available to the club moving forward."
With Heath given at least one game in the hot seat at the Avenue, he has called for positivity, as well as asking his players to prove to the Magpies' fans that they care about the club.
He told Echosport: "I would like to thank Phil for giving me the opportunity a couple of years ago when we didn't really know each other that well, and he was good enough to give me the chance.
"It has been a difficult few days with the Weymouth defeat and Phil going. I think the main message to everyone is that we have to be positive.
"We have had three defeats in a row and the manager has gone, so everyone needs to pull together on and off the pitch, the supporters, the board, the players and the coaching staff, and we need to perform better.
"The players have shown glimpses this season of what they can do if they play to their full potential, they haven't done that enough and they know that.
"They need to show the supporters that they really care about this club, and that means maximum effort every time they pull the black and white shirt on.
"I have seen in the past that the supporters of Dorchester can get behind the team with great vigour, but they need some encouragement to do that.
"We need to get results on the pitch first and foremost and get the supporters behind us, football changes quickly and while it has not been a nice week with Phil going, it can all change if we get a result on the pitch."
Former Portland United manager Heath remained tight-lipped on whether he would like the job on a full-time basis, and claimed that his focus was all about securing three points against 15th-placed Chesham tomorrow.
He added: "Quite honestly I am just looking at the next couple of days, beyond Saturday night I am not really thinking about it.
"We need to pick the right squad and the right team on Saturday to get it right first and get the result."
The Magpies do however look set to be without midfielder Nick Crittenden for around four weeks after he had to be replaced during the derby clash with Weymouth with a hamstring injury.

text: Alternate-E 215 Report post Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) Hi everyone. I have a question about some of the variables Python recognizes. I'm not exactly new to programming in general but I've found it difficult to grasp some of the things that take place seemingly spontaneously in the Python language. I want to write a small text based game so I just wet ahead and looked for tutorials to get the feel for it. I'm having problems understanding what happened from line 17 to line 20 in this code. I understand that the entire block from 17 downward prints what's in the list but I just don't see where the "i" comes from in the 17th line. I also don't understand how "\t" was assigned to anything, it just seemed to materialize with no explanation. There are gaps in my knowledge regarding this admittedly but I'm used to a traditional global/local variables being called explicitly before anything can be done with them. If someone could break down those lines for me some more I'd really appreciate it. Also, if there's an alternative way to write those lines I'd really like to know for future reference. EDIT: the "i" is just a commonly used variable referrin to ndices used in mathematics. This should have been made clear but no harm done. I got some sleep and figured out that the t was for tab, duh. There are other similar abbreviations around as well. Good luck to anyone else who had the same little issue! import textwrap description = "You are standing in a field.

Apr 26, 2013 - By Eric Blom, Staff WriterIn two close votes, the Fremont County Commission engaged a firm to design a new Riverton justice center and committed $1,000 to a court fight about wolves.
Commissioners voted 3-2 to sign a $380,000 contract with Reilly Johnson Architects for justice center plans. Doug Thompson, Travis Becker and Larry Allen voted for it.
Keja Whiteman and Stephanie Kessler cast dissenting votes, citing concerns about committing to an as-of-yet unfunded project.
In March, the county board chose to build a new justice center containing a courthouse and space for sheriff and county attorney offices on the Major property in Riverton. Moves to build a new facility arose after it was discovered in July that a bullet had penetrated the current courthouse's exterior.
Becker negotiated the contract and said it is structured in five stages, with the county paying for one stage at a time. The first step is a schematic, which Reilly Johnson would finish by May 7.
"I think the amount of money we have designated should be the first part rather than designing something and then figuring out how to pay for it," Whiteman said.
The contract also allows the commission to back out at any time if it gives seven days notice to the architects. If the contract were canceled, the county would not have to pay the remainder of the fees.
"If at any time we're done, we're done," Becker said. "That seven day notice we were able to put in there gives us an out at any time."
Others were unconvinced that it was wise to sign a contract when there were still questions about funding the entire project.
Fremont County submitted a grant application to the State Lands Investment Board for $2.6 million, about half the estimated cost of the justice center. SLIB will not make a decision on the matter until June.
Commissioners have discussed paring down the project or postponing it if the grant does not come through.
"We said if we don't get the funding, we're going to change plans," Kessler said. "My concern is we don't know how we're going to pay for this."
In the end, the majority of commissioners did not seem to share those worries.
Commissioners divided along the same line in a vote to contribute $1,000 to the Wyoming Wolf Coalition. The money will help the group in a lawsuit with environmental groups who want wolves returned to the endangered species list.
The money will come from unused money set aside in the commission's budget to contract for services.
"I'm cautious about supporting independent litigation like this and the precedent it sets for other funding requests," Kessler said.
Since the federal government removed the species from the list in 2012, state government has been able to manage wolves in much of Wyoming.
"We have a lot of commerce that's adversely affected by these predators," Becker said. "I would be in favor of helping them financially to the tune of $1,000."
Commissioners voted 3-2 for the contribution, with Thompson, Becker and Allen voting for it.
Whiteman expressed worries about the process.
"I think the best mechanism for things like this is to come through the budget process, which is fast approaching," she said.

Local mining company earns 2013 Reclamation Award
Amerikohl Mining Inc. of Butler received an award from the Pennsylvania Coal Alliance for its surface mine reclamation efforts on three sites in Indiana, Beaver and Clarion counties.
The 2013 Reclamation Award is given annually to member mining companies who exceed federal and state regulations for reclamation, according to the coal alliance.
Six other Pennsylvania mining companies received the award in 2013.
"It recognizes that Amerikohl has shown the deep commitment to land stewardship on a daily basis not only for these specific projects for which they won, but for the long term," said Josie Gaskey, alliance spokeswoman.
The sites associated with the awards are chosen in cooperation with the state Department of Environmental Protection's Office of Active and Abandoned Mine Operations.
Amerikohl Mining reclaimed 132 acres of surface mine land, some of which had been abandoned before federal reclamation regulations were in place, said John Saugrich, vice president of operations at Amerikohl.
The company paid for the reclamation efforts.
The Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 was the first federal law to require that mine sites be reclaimed after mining is complete, according to the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement.
Saugrich, who is a geologist, said the abandoned mines left old highwalls and spoil piles.
To reclaim the area, the company cut into the hillside where the previous mines existed, removed the coal and backfilled the land.
"It's a one- to two-year process, depending on how large the mine is," Saugrich said.
The company then works to restore the land to its approximate original contour before reseeding and replanting trees, he said.
"The challenges are ... placing dirt in the right locations, saving enough topsoil to redistribute over the entire mine site and to get good growth of vegetation," Saugrich said
Although he didn't know the total cost of reclamation, Saugrich estimated reseeding alone is about $1,000 per acre.
Gaskey said in the past five years, coal mine operators spent more than $8.7 million to return mined lands to their original state without using state or federal funds.
"These are not the coal companies of the early 1900s," Gaskey said.

From the creators of Merlin comes a thrilling 13-part adventure series. When Jason set out to find his father, he could never have anticipated where his journey would lead. Far from home and desperate for answers, Jason washes up on the shores of an ancient land. A mysterious place; a world of bull leaping, of snake haired goddesses and of palaces so vast it was said they were built by giants ? this is the lost city of Atlantis. Aided by the studious young Pythagoras and the overweight, overbearing Hercules, Jason embarks on a voyage of discovery that sees him brush shoulders with Medusa, come face to face with the Minotaur and even fight with the dead. Battling their way through a vast store of myths and legends, the unlikely but loveable trio gradually begin to uncover the dark and simmering past of Atlantis, and it soon becomes clear that both friend and foe can be found in the most unlikely places.

Sign up for our weekly email * Snob, a Russian-language, general-interest magazine that caters to the global Russian elite is set to launch in New York on Wednesday, almost a year after it began distribution in Britain. According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, the magazine will have an initial run of about 20,000 copies of its September issue, selling for $8 a copy. The magazine's title is an acronym of the Russian words for accomplished, independent, educated and thriving. The magazine, launched in Russia in 2008, is the brainchild of Vladimir Yakovlev - founder of Kommersant, the first private daily business newspaper in Russia. He perceived a need among affluent Russians living abroad for a way to connect and communicate about topics such as business, culture, food and sex, the report adds. Published ten times a year, Snob aims to compete less with other Russian-language publications than with high-minded US titles such as The New Yorker and Vanity Fair. The publication is owned by Mikhail Prokhorov, the Russian metals magnate and owner of the New Jersey Nets. Subscribe from just £1 per issue More

This is an awesome piece of kit. You never need to worry about battery's or bulbs, making it the best flashlight to keep in an emergency kit. And with the added water resistance it is the ideal flashlight for me to take on Kayak camping trips.
So far so good, I've taken this light camping and kayaking. It is built sturdy, and feels as though it can take some abuse. The light holds a charge fairly well. I cranked it up for a minute or two while I was camping a week prior to the 4th of July and hadn't cranked it since, and it worked just fine on the 4th for the walk back to the car after the fireworks! Also, I was pleased to find that it does float on its own, and it's hard to lose with that bright orange color. I have yet to try the charging cable, but I saw some review video showing it charging a phone...unfortunately, my phone does not charge via usb, but my GPS can if given the right batteries, so that's great to have a hand crank charger in case I get lost in the north woods with a dead GPS. Overall, a great product for the cost.

Prospectus Presentation – Tracie Brack
30 Pryor Street Southwest
Georgia State University, Atlanta, GA 30303
Arts and Academics: A Qualitative Investigation of How Teachers Perceive School Climate Relating to Subject Area (tested or non-tested) in the Elementary Setting
by Tracie Brack
This study examines teachers' perceptions of school climate as it relates to their subject areas (tested or non-test) in an elementary school setting. The research is framed by a constructionist epistemological paradigm. Within the Interpretive Constructionist Theory, I will be able to learn how teachers view the school climate and the elements within the school that influence the climate. The inquiry will include four purposefully selected teachers from one elementary school. The demographics of the elementary school closely mirror the demographics of the school district as a whole. Qualitative and quantitative data include school climate data and teacher perception data. The school climate data will be collected from the Georgia School Personnel Survey administered as part of the College and Career Readiness Performance Index (CCRPI) included in Race to the Top (GaDOE, 2013). The teacher perception data will be accumulated through qualitative, responsive, semi-structured interviewing. The results of the research will provide a comprehensive description of how perceptions of tested area teachers and non-test
area teachers differ on the subject of school climate. Consequently, this study will contribute to an understanding of how school climate is perceived; and how school climate affects students, teachers, and administrators.

- Brushing hair when it is wet (46%)
- Putting hair into a ponytail (45%)
- Itching or scratching scalps (35%)
Women everywhere are no strangers to damaging their hair; yet according to a recent survey conducted by Wakefield Research, on behalf of Head & Shoulders, 91% of U.S. women continue to damage their hair almost every day. In fact, damaged hair is not concentrated to one region. The survey identified 10 U.S. cities and assessed which was in most need of a hair S.O.S., including: 1. Chicago 2. Los Angeles 3. New York City 4. Philadelphia 5. Houston 6. Dallas 7. Atlanta 8. San Francisco 9. Washington, D.C. 10. Boston Bad hair habits add up over time – too-tightly wound ponytails, curling or straightening hair, and even running a brush through wet hair each morning. The damage of repetitive bad hair behavior is cumulative and it's being noticed. The Head & Shoulders survey found that over half (57%) of women in the U.S. consider their hair to be damaged, with their leading causes for hair damage including:

" Genre: Junior Books / Author: Lauren Holowaty / Board book / 60 Pages / Book is published 2010-09-02 by Ladybird "
* Prices may differ from that shown
When my daughter was younger, she really liked Peppa Pig. As she also enjoyed reading books, we were pleased when she was given this little set of books when she was 2.
---About Peppa Pig
Peppa Pig is a character from the TV shows of the same name. The show follows her life with her little brother George, her Mummy and Daddy, and all of her friends. The character is suitable for young children up to age 5-6 years and my daughter who is 3 loves it. Peppa gets up to all kinds of mischief like my daughter, but she generally learns something by the end of the episode.
---About the books:
The Peppa Pig Fairy Tale Little Library is a collection of 6 mini Peppa Pig books that come in their own cardboard box decorated with a picture of Peppa dressed as a fairy princess. Each of the books has a different colour on the spine and when they are put together in the correct order, they have a picture of George's horse on the sides. The books are like mini board books and each one is about 10cm square. The books tell stories of princess Peppa and her family including Sir George the Brave. They also have their friends in the books. Each of the books is very simple with just 4 double pages in each. There is quite a bit of writing on each page written in wavy black writing. The backs of the books form a jigsaw puzzle that show Peppa and George with the horse.
---Our experiences:
My daughter really enjoyed these books as she recognised the characters from watching the TV programmes. They are easy for little hands to hold and the pages being thick means they are easy for her to turn. The pictures are very bright colours so attract her attention. The writing in the books is too much for a young child to read, but does make a nice short story for bed-time (unless you have to read all 6 in one go!). The box they came in has been discarded a long time ago as my daughter used to get frustrated putting them back in, so we just put them straight onto her bookshelves instead.
---And finally:
We were very happy with this set of books. My daughter enjoyed looking at the books and would happily take them to bed with her to turn the pages and look at the pictures. They are probably well suited for 2-year olds as now my daughter is 4, she is not as interested in Peppa pig anymore. As these were a present, I don't know the actual price paid, but I have seen them for around £5. This is a reasonable price as you get the 6 books included and I would probably be happy to buy them again at that price.
My youngest daughter really liked Peppa Pig last year and so for her second birthday I out together a Peppa Pig hamper for her and this was one of the items that I put into it. I get the set from Amazon for £3.74 and delivery was free, I have seen a couple of different Peppa Pig library sets but only seen the fairy tale one on Amazon.
The set of 6 books comes in a little case which is made of glossy cardboard, one the front of the book holder you have a picture of Peppa Pig stood at the front with a wand and then there is a picture of a castle in the distant background. The spines of all 6 books can be seen, they are all different colours, you get yellow, orange, pale blue, green, pink and purple and if they are in the box in the correct order you are able to see a picture of a horse.
The books titles are,
Princess Peppa,
The Royal Party,
The King the Cook and the Wizard,
George's Dragon,
Sleepy Princess and
Sir George the Brave
The books are about 3 inches square and they are little board books great for little hands, the books all have rounded corners so no sharp edges for little hands. The books all have a picture on the back of them and when you piece the 6 books together you make a picture of George on a toy horse and Princess Peppa stood in front of him.
The stories are all very short and only have 4 double pages in them, the text in most of the books is written in little bubbles like clouds and the text is pretty small. The books are all brightly coloured and they bring in the majority of the characters from the TV show, the whole Pig family is involved in the books as are all of Peppa's friends.
Emily loves these books, she cannot manage to get them in and out the holding box by herself but once you get them out for her she will happily sit for ages flicking through all the books and pointing to and naming the different characters, once she gets bored she will bring me or her Daddy the books to be read to her and even her older sister is having a try of reading them to her now. The set was fantastic value and I would give it 5 stars from 5, Emily got these books in September and she still plays with them frequently so I can certainly say they are a hit with her.
In the past few weeks my daughter has become a huge fan of Peppa Pig. We have a few of these mini libraries and my daughter likes the size of the books so I picked her up a Peppa version in Asda which cost £3.
The set is basically six square books in a cardboard cover to keep them together.
The books are board books making them ideal for younger children as the pages can't be ripped. The books are also wipe clean so sticky finger marks can be wiped away with ease.
The six books each feature a different 'Fairytale' featuring Peppa and her brother George. Each of the books is brightly coloured. When the books are in their case there is a picture of a horse visable if they are place in the right order. The books are very simple and feature 5 pages in each one. The story is made up of a series of short sentences. This makes them good for younger children as there is enough there to capture their attention. The books are also heavily illustrated each page has a colourful picture on it.
The first book is called 'Princess Peppa' this story is all about Peppa, the castle in which she lives and her family. The second book is called 'Sir George the Brave' and is all about George. The third book is called 'George's Dragon'which is about a dragon Peppa and George meet and become friends with. The fourth book is called 'The King, the cook and the wizard' which is about Peppa's father the King and some of the staff that live at the castle. The fifth book is called 'Sleepy Princess' which is all about bedtime and the final book is called 'The Royal Party' which is about a party at the castle.
My daughter loves these books mainly because of the pictures, but because the stories are short she will also listen and not get bored. Another feature to the books is that if they are turned over they make a jigsaw puzzle we enjoy doing this together. We also take these books out with us I have found them quite useful when we are having a meal as my daughter is entertained by them for a long time. I would give these books 5 out of 5 as my daughter loves them.

Best cruise yet!: Carnival Freedom Cruise Review by jaixrx
Overall Member Rating
Best cruise yet!
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
Pre cruise: We arrived in Ft. Lauderdale Friday morning and made our way to the Renaissance on 17th. We had points to use so the room was "free". They offered a shuttle to the port at $6 per person. I asked the front desk girl how much a cab would cost and she said $10 total....no brainer there! We were pleased with the room...very clean and the boys enjoyed the pool. There were restaurants in walking distance as well as a Winn More Dixie grocery store or Walgreens for last minute items. Since we were there all day we ended up going down to the Riverwalk area to catch a movie (Hop). DH and I both fell asleep and the boys didn't particularly care for it.
Embarkation: We arranged for the hotel to get a taxi for us at 10:30. He arrived on time and drove us to the port. Crowds were pretty low. Stood in line for about 20 minutes and our zone number (7) was called at 11:30. We went right to the Lido. I wanted Mongolion...can't remember what everyone else had but I know we all enjoyed it. We explored the ship, played some mini golf and at 1:30 the doors were open to go to our room.
Room: We stayed on the Lido deck, room 9274 which is right at the area of the Atruim elevators. I was slightly nervous that it would be noisy but we did not have a problem at all. This was an extremely convenient location and we plan on booking Lido rooms from now on. Our steward, Hiner, was efficient but obviously very busy. We rarely saw him or spoke with him. We never met his assistant. He always had DH's cooler bag filled with ice which was our only request. The boys enjoyed the towel animals and we got chocolates every night.
Dining: We were originally slated to be in the Chic DR for the early seating. We decided to "check out" where our table was the first day and were disappointed to see it was on the second floor in a back corner where the kitchen/galley door was. I decided to just check and see if we could move mainly because the boys love the entertainment in the DR and I don't think they would have seen much of anything. We got lucky and were changed to the Posh DR table 420. Our main server was Trinidad and his assistants were Dewey and a gentleman we never got the name of. They were excellent. They went out of their way entertaining the boys, joking with them and partaking in secret handshakes at the end of every meal. The highlight for the boys was Trinidad's fine knowledge of PS3 video games which they talked about every night.
We ate one breakfast on the Lido and after that decided to eat breakfast in the Posh DR...a more relaxed atmosphere. We ate at the Lido for lunch every day. I would do Mongolion a lot of days or deli. The boys liked the deli and pizza. We never had the craving for fish and chips so didn't try it.
Cozumel: We went to Paradise beach for the day. $13 cab ride for 4 each way. The pool was sparkling clean which is where I spent most of the time. We paid $4 total for 2 beach chairs and purchased use of the water toys for the boys at $12 each. The boys had fun but DH ended up out there with them since there was a lot of treading water and it was rocky in places. They do provide life vests but the boys preferred not using them since they got in the way when they were trying to get on the toys. The food was delicious.
Costa Rica: we arranged a tour with a private company prior to the cruise that included going on the river canals, to a banana plantation and to a beach. We had our own driver who was informative. Nothing really more to say...the boys are too young to do ziplining or white water rafting so this was the best alternative I could find.
Panama: we used a private company again and were very pleased. We went to the Gatun Locks and were able to see a cargo ship go through. After that we headed to the rain forest for a tour. Our final stop was a Fort San Lorenzo. Our tour guide was very good and we were provided with refreshments throughout the tour.
Sea days: I loved this itinerary because of the 4 sea days. We spent them playing mini golf, going on the water slide, catching a few of the shows they had during the day and plain old relaxing. We also ended up playing volleyball numerous times a day which the boys loved.
CC Private Party: A member of our roll call arranged a private party. It was a great time to meet everyone and mingle. We had the Swingtime bar/lounge for an hour and for $12/adult had open bar. We were able to have any drink...pina coladas, daiquiris, etc. They also had chips and gold fish snacks available.
Ship: I loved this ship. It was clean and the staff was friendly. We never had a problem finding chairs. However, the demographics of this sailing included more seniors than any sailing I'd been on. Again, I think this was because of the itinerary. Also, I am not one to go in public pools so being near the pool was not a priority of mine. I just grabbed chairs more near the slide so I could watch the boys.
Negatives: Gotta have a few right? Believe me, these are not deal breakers for me. I think I will sound like an old fogie to some people. The live band on the Lido deck was very loud. I often left the area and moved to a higher, foreward or aft area so I could at least have conversations with people around me. The lead female singer in the nightly shows was also very loud and piercing. She was on my Dream cruise last year and I did not enjoy the shows because of her. Once I realized who she was this time, I ended up avoiding the shows except the Beatles one and we did comedy club or karaoke instead.
There was a particular bunch of middle school aged kids who seemed to always be up to no good....pushing all the elevator buttons, taking gobs of hand sanitizer and putting it in their hair, etc. Tried to ignore them the best I could but by the end of the week I cringed when I saw them. That being said, I encountered just as many rude older people. Unfortunately most of them were men. I had one man literally push me out of the way to get in front of me to get his lemonade. Another man was eagerly pressing the "door close" button on the elevator when he saw me coming to get on. I also watched a man go through the Lido buffet and cut at each station to get the food he wanted. These are just observations and not generalizations and certainly did not take anything away from my trip.
Overall, I have been telling friends and family that this has been one of the best vacations I have had. We were lucky to have sunny skies every day as well as very calm seas. I came home relaxed and enjoyed having so much time and fun with the boys. I think the Freedom has taken over the Legend as my favorite ship. Definitely liked it better than the Dream. Never felt crowded, elevator always available and the lines at the Lido were not as bad. Wish they had a Burrito bar though! Less

"Age does not bring you wisdom— age brings you wrinkles." —Estelle Getty
As bad as one might look in a passport or driver's license photo, nothing is scarier than the output of a modern skin imaging analysis device. To see lines and wrinkles, UV damage and red blotches, pores and excess sebum in vivid detail is enough to make anyone 20 and older run to the nearest antiaging serum in a panic. The combination of high-end digital cameras and sophisticated computer programs has made these devices available everywhere—from research labs and dermatologist's offices to upscale cosmetic counters. A day in the sun in 1971 has left traces that can still be photographed in vivid colors, and a line you thought no one could notice now looks like the Grand Canyon.
Analysis of the skin using still or video cameras and digital image analysis (DIA) software has long been used by the medical profession to detect dangerous conditions like melanoma using parameters such as color, shape, border qualities and structural components. And Red, Green, Blue (RGB) analysis has been used for color-based recognition algorithms for many years.
Russian State Medical University researchers1 suggested using skin health indexes as indicators of aging. They evaluated skin fluorescence after being exposed to near UV radiation (365 nm [nanometers]), and estimated age-specific changes by measuring fingertip fluorescence. Experiments showed that skin fluorescence increase correlates well with chronological age of 20- to 70-year-old people.
Formation of glycotoxins (cross-linked polymers) in the dermis is considered to be one of the main reasons for skin age-specific changes and fluorescence fluctuations.

Whole Grain Foods on the Rise
More than 1,300 600 new UPCs were launched the past year as consumers are insatiable for better-for-you carbohydrates.
Recovering from the low-carb sales drought, more than 1,200 new whole grain products were introduced over the past two years, and sales in most categories made with whole grains are increasing across the board, according to an ACNielsen report.
The growing awareness that eating more whole grains can provide important health benefits has led to many new products on retail shelves. Manufacturers have launched new brands of bread, crackers, pasta, and cereals, foods whose sales have been hit hard in recent years by the emphasis on low-carb eating.
These efforts are paying off. According to ACNielsen Label Trends, revenues for several whole-grain categories have increased in the combined food/drug/mass merchandiser channels (excluding Wal-Mart) for the 52 weeks ending June 18, 2005.
The bread and baked goods category increased 18.3 percent to $1.1 billion, and crackers rose 10.2 percent to $330 million. In smaller volume categories, pasta went up 34.1 percent to $54 million and frozen prepared foods skyrocketed 76.4 percent to $60 million.
Nutritionists say people who eat a lot of whole grains typically are leaner and have a lower risk of coronary disease. Whole grains contain antioxidants and phyto-chemicals that protect against heart disease.The fiber in whole grains has been linked to reducing the risk of other serious ailments including breast and colon cancer.
They recommend eating whole-grain bread, pasta, and cereals, as well as brown rice and oatmeal. Whole grains contain all of the three parts of the kernel: the bran, the germ and the endosperm. Heavy processing or refining removes most of the bran and some of the germ, and much of the nutrients.
According to ACNielsen LabelTrends, there were 660 new whole grain UPCs launched in the 52 weeks ending June 18, 2005, and 678 introduced the prior 52-week period. Some notable new products include all of the breakfast cereals from General Mills; a whole-grain line of croutons, frozen breads and crackers from Pepperidge Farm; Lean Cuisine's Spa Cuisine Classics, a line of frozen meals with 100 percent whole-grain rice or pasta; whole-grain white bread from Sara Lee and Interstate Bakery Corp., the maker of Wonder Bread.
The trend to eating more whole grains got a boost this past January from the 2005 Dietary Guidelines issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which recommend consuming at least three servings of whole grains daily.
The effect on sales was immediate. According to ACNielsen data, sales of key whole-grain categories in the first quarter of 2005 increased noticeably compared to the previous quarter: frozen wholegrain prepared foods were up 168 percent; whole grain pasta, up 27.4 percent; whole-grain cereal, up 8.3 percent; and whole-grain bread and baked foods, up 7.4 percent.

Chloe has one plan for the future, and one plan only: the road. She's made a promise to herself: don't let anyone in, and don't let anyone love her. She's learned the hard way what happens if she breaks her rules. So she's focused on being invisible and waiting until she can set out on the road--her dream of freedom, at least for a little while.
Blake Hunter is a basketball star who has it all--everything about him looks perfect to those on the other side of his protective walls. He can't let anyone see the shattered pieces behind the flawless facade or else all his hopes and dreams will disappear.
One dark night throws Chloe and Blake together, changing everything for Blake. For Chloe, nothing changes: she has the road, and she's focused on it. But when the so-called perfect boy starts to notice the invisible girl, they discover that sometimes with love, no one knows where the road may lead.

This story demonstrates two young people learning how to navigate through their fears, choices, and feelings. Real life, heavy issues weigh on them both and they must decide how their choices effect each other and everyone else in their lives. Major kudos!! I was brought to tears many times through this story, which is not an easy thing to do. I would recommend this book to anyone!
"Red letter read....."
This story made me laugh, cry, dry out, and laugh, cry again. I get NOT Abby and P***y Hunter, there love story is an instant classic. Jay McLean writting style is heartwarmingly real and the audio performance gave it life!!! They may of been young but their story is timeless..
Loved this story and loved the narrative, Nick Podehl is in my Top #5 male narrators @ Laura Hamilton was also wonderful
"Warning TRASH"
Pure trash. Vulgar language. Hope I can erase from anyone ever know I listened to two minutes of this filth
"Didn't finish it. R rated language"
I can't tell you if the story line was good or not because I didn't actually read it. I just want readers to be aware before they purchase it that the language is not only R rated, but used regularly in the small portion that I did read. I should have let the first 10 minutes be my guide. I kept thinking it can't continue like this, but it did. This book was not for me.
"Pretty good Story! Horrible narration!"
The female narrator makes this hard to listen to, but if you can get past the voices the story is good. This probably a much better read than listen.
Best book I have read in a very long time! Highly recommended to teen readers
"4 unexpectedly phenomenal stars!"
Chloe has known heartbreak from a young age and that has shaped who she is now and her plans for the future or lack thereof. When she meets Blake she does not want to be friends she wants to stay invisible has other plans and decisions must be made, and Chloe will have to decide if she will face her fears or let them control her.
I loved every minute of this story! At times it was a bit emotional and heartbreaking, but that is life. Both characters are very relatable and have real life problems. All in all it was a beautiful story.
Male narrator-4 stars (female voice needed a bit of work)
Female narrator-4 stars
Hero-5 stars
Heroine - 4.5 stars
"This is a red-letter book."
It is absolutely, unexpectedly, phenomenal! This is truly a unique and heartwarming story. I encourage everyone to give it a chance and discover your next good read.
"emotional book"
It was a good book about difficult situations in life that a lot of people deal with. It is awesome how the characters stuggle and realize with people that love you, you can do anything!
"Great love story but way too many tragedies"
Yes the story was great, but as I wrote in my headline it contains way too many tragedies to be a realistic story
A really great story, but it not a believable story because how many tragedies can one person survive? At least a few of the tragedies in the story shouldn't have been in this book since it's way too many deaths to overcome for one person. It makes it into a Not Believable story. Cut half of the death out and it would be a more believable story to relate to. As I wrote earlier I will definitely listen to this book again, but it will never be one of my favorite books

Pain Management
Neck Pain
Over a week ago I woke up with neck pain and the next day it felt worse. It tends to subside a little, as the day progresses, but when I wake up each day it is back to how it felt. It`s feels like a deep pain on the back right side of my neck that extends to the right center of my back depending on how far I turn my neck. It hurts the most looking down. Any ideas of what it could be and how I can treat it?
Since this appears to be an acute event, the most likely cause is torticollis also known wry neck. It is due to muscle spasms and is usually self-limited. Your doctor may prescribe a muscle relaxant or a non-steroidal agent for symptomatic relief if that turns out to be the cause of your pain. There may be other much less common causes for the pain and an evaluation by a physician is essential in determining its cause and potential treatment modalities.

After reading the very favorable reviews of Napa Acoustic's MT-34 Integrated Tube Amplifier and NA-208c CD Player by Home Theater Review managing editor Andrew Robinson, I became aware of this company's existence for the first time. When I went to its website, I saw that it also imports a speaker brand called Mistral. When I contacted Joseph Kwong, the owner/designer of Napa Acoustic, he recommended that I review the reference Bow-A2 floor-standing model, which retails for $2,299 per pair. By reading Andrew's two reviews of the Napa Acoustic pieces, I was expecting a tremendous bang for the buck ratio. As you will see, the Bow-A2 speaker turned out to be one of the greatest surprises I have had in my reviewing experience since I became a member of the staff here at HomeTheaterRerview.com.

Breezy is gearing up to drop his next studio installment 'X' and has lined up a number of concerts ahead of the album release.
Chris Brown is not slowing down, despite the haters and the numerous problems he is facing. Just a year after busting the chart with "Fortune", he is preparing to claim his spot on the high-esteemed Billboard charts with new album "X", a title that according to him defines what he's been through in his life.
"It's the Roman numeral for 10. 5/5/89 is my birthday: 5 plus 5 is 10, and this is my tenth year since I got into music. 'X' is the 24th letter in the alphabet, and I will turn 24 when this album comes out. 'X' is also a metaphor, as in 'ex-girlfriend': it implies you're progressing and moving on in life, not holding on to the past and your old ways," he explained.
Of the direction he's taking, he said, "I tried to stay away from the Euro beats, and not go totally pop. Instead, I wanted to take the Quincy Jones approach. The record pays homage to the Stevie Wonders, the Michael Jacksons, the Sam Cookes."
"I wanted to put that classic essence of R&B and soul with the new age of music now. There's a lot of live instruments, and a lot less Auto-Tune. I really wanted to demonstrate my vocal ability, creating the vibe of me singing along with a band."
He so far has released single "Fine China", which reached No. 10 on U.S. R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and Aaliyah-sampled "Don't Think They Know". He has lined up a bunch of concerts this summer to introduce his new music to the live crowd.
His gig at Energy Rush summer spectacular, however, was met with mixed reactions that prompted Rogers Communications to drop their sponsorship from the event. It didn't dampen his spirit to give his best when the concert takes place August 31 later this year though.
"It's a shame that some people are so short-sighted and uninformed. Chris is an award-winning artist whose goal is to inspire and entertain. He engages in many philanthropic endeavors to support his community and communities worldwide including the Jenesse Center Domestic Violence Intervention Program, Best Buddies, AIDS Project Los Angeles, Kids Wish Network, Get Schooled and Home Again," his rep blasted.
"He's just embarked on the Unity Campaign to bring people together despite their differences while promoting tolerance and forgiveness. Chris strives to learn from his past and to grow as a person, as we should all do. Chris is looking forward to being a part of the Energy Rush Concert Series."

By Cynthia Ruchti
It wasn't until the third or fourth complaint that I stopped myself mid-sentence. I'd whined about the list of tasks keeping me from what I really wanted to do. I'd whined about how difficult it was to pack lightly for a business trip that long, and in a climate that hot. I started to whine about how busy I'd be from morning until night with responsibilities, activities, and oppor-- Opportu--
I couldn't finish the word opportunities without heavy but welcome conviction settling on me, snuffing the fire of complaints, dousing remaining ashes to make sure the flames were most sincerely dead.
The night before, I'd lingered over some of my favorite passages in Jeremiah. Among the verses I'd highlighted were these from The Message:
Cheap whining. Stooping to cheap whining. Getting rid of the whining served as a contingency of being allowed to speak on God's behalf, to write on His behalf, to tell stories with His blessing?
I still stare at the yellow highlighted sentences as if seeing them for the first time, curious about what they mean, as if they aren't among the simplest words in the English language. Words on words.
"Use words truly and well," God said to the prophet Jeremiah, and through Jeremiah to us. "Only then, you'll speak for me."
Only then.
I'd complained about having too many items to fit into my luggage, too many events slotted in the upcoming days, too little time to relax, and a workload that others would have traded for theirs without blinking.
I invoked an instant moratorium on whining for the rest of the day. It lasted almost an hour before I caught myself about to complain that the printer was taking too long.
I can--and sometimes do--use my words to express my impatience, or to communicate unfairness against me or people I care about. How many words have I tossed toward the television screen when the plot of a drama has a gaping hole the writers failed to notice or when the closed captioning is full of spelling errors? How many words do I use untruly and unwell in comparison to God's instructions to me?
This is one of those moments that can turn the course of a life. And not just mine.
"Then, but only then, you'll speak for me," God said. He added, "Let your words change them. Don't change your words to suit them."
The stories we write and the words in those stories have the potential to evoke change. But not if we stoop to cheap whining and waste words that could have been used instead to offer hope.
The NIV version expresses it this way: "If you utter worthy, not worthless, words, you will be my spokesman," Jeremiah 15:19. Is there an area of your conversations, your verbal or written communication, that can't legitimately be called "worthy" words? A sobering thought, isn't it?

Melbourne Storm will expect nothing but the Brisbane Broncos' best efforts in their showdown at Suncorp Stadium on Friday night as both teams battle for final eight positions.
Remarkably the Storm and Broncos play each other twice in the final seven games, with Melbourne to host a return leg in the final round.
The Broncos were rocked by news on Tuesday that former premiership coach Wayne Bennett had been installed as coach for next season over Anthony Griffin, with the long-time Broncos employee pledging to finish the season despite knowing his job would disappear the moment the club is knocked out of the premiership race.
Storm assistant coach Adam O'Brien said the Broncos would ask major questions of the Storm and he expected the usual pulsating match.
"The matches between these two clubs are usually blockbusters," O'Brien said. "You have got that rivalry between the two clubs and a healthy respect that has grown from when they met in the 2006 grand final, even previous to that.
"Our games are usually really exciting at Suncorp, not just because its an outstanding stadium for rugby league, but because of the support the Broncos get and the support our boys get from the Queensland public."
The Storm revealed this week that leading scorer Sisa Waqa would leave the club at season's end to join the Canberra Raiders on a lucrative deal, but O'Brien said both sides had too many strong leaders to be distracted by midweek events.
He said the Storm had to focus on stopping the Broncos' time-tested veterans, such as Justin Hodges, Sam Thaiday and Corey Parker from getting too many metres and forcing offloads while in tackles. He also singled out half-back Ben Hunt as the key to much of the Broncos' attack.
"Those guys have been together for a long time," O'Brien said. "Their big guys can offload the footy and then their second-phase play can be very difficult to stop. Looking at their videos this week, one bloke who hasn't got all the raps is Ben Hunt. He has done a really good job this season. Not only does he have a 40-20 kick but he has a really good all-round kicking game - I reckon he has had a really good season for them."
The Storm named an extended travelling party for the match, so will face some difficult selection questions. Jordan McLean was named on the bench despite impressing at lock last round and is tipped to start at lock with Ryan Hinchcliffe giving the Storm added bite off the bench.
Winger Young Tonumaipea was named on the bench along with Dayne Weston and Tim Glasby, with two of the three expected to be dropped ahead of the match.

You have a bad debt if you cannot collect money owed to you. A bad debt is either a business bad debt or a nonbusiness bad debt. This chapter discusses only business bad debts.
Generally, a business bad debt is one that comes from operating your trade or business. You can deduct business bad debts on Schedule C (Form 1040) or your applicable business income tax return.
All other bad debts are nonbusiness bad debts and are deductible only as short-term capital losses. For more information on nonbusiness bad debts, see Pub. 550.

A business bad debt is a loss from the worthlessness of a debt that was either:
Created or acquired in your trade or business, or
Closely related to your trade or business when it became partly or totally worthless.
A debt is closely related to your trade or business if your primary motive for incurring the debt is business related. Bad debts of a corporation (other than an S corporation) are always business bad debts.
Business bad debts may result from the following.
You use an accrual method of accounting.
The debt arose from the sale of goods or services in the ordinary course of your trade or business.
More than 30% of your receivables accrued in the year of the sale were from sales to political parties.
You made substantial and continuing efforts to collect on the debt.
You made the guarantee in the course of your trade or business.
You have a legal duty to pay the debt.
You made the guarantee before the debt became worthless. You meet this requirement if you reasonably expected you wouldn't have to pay the debt without full reimbursement from the borrower.
You received reasonable consideration for making the guarantee. You meet this requirement if you made the guarantee according to normal business practice or for a good faith business purpose.
Jane Zayne owns the Zayne Dress Company. She guaranteed payment of a $20,000 note for Elegant Fashions, a dress outlet. Elegant Fashions is one of Zayne's largest clients. Elegant Fashions later defaulted on the loan. As a result, Ms. Zayne paid the remaining balance of the loan in full to the bank.
She can claim a business bad debt deduction only for the amount she paid, since her guarantee was made in the course of her trade or business for a good faith business purpose. She was motivated by the desire to retain one of her better clients and keep a sales outlet.
A debt becomes worthless when there is no longer any chance the amount owed will be paid. This may occur when the debt is due or prior to that date.
To demonstrate worthlessness, you must only show that you have taken reasonable steps to collect the debt but were unable to do so. It isn't necessary to go to court if you can show that a judgment from the court would be uncollectible. Bankruptcy of your debtor is generally good evidence of the worthlessness of at least a part of an unsecured and unpreferred debt.
There are two methods to claim a business bad debt.
The specific charge-off method.
The nonaccrual-experience method.
Generally, you must use the specific charge-off method. However, you may use the nonaccrual-experience method if you meet the requirements discussed later under Nonaccrual-Experience Method .
If you use the specific charge-off method, you can deduct specific business bad debts that become either partly or totally worthless during the tax year. However, with respect to partly worthless bad debts, your deduction is limited to the amount you charged off on your books during the year.
7 years from the date your original return was due (not including extensions).
2 years from the date you paid the tax.
3 years from the date you filed your original return.
2 years from the date you paid the tax.
If you use an accrual method of accounting and qualify under the rules explained in this section, you can use the nonaccrual-experience method for bad debts. Under this method, you do not accrue service-related income you expect to be uncollectible. Because the expected uncollectible amounts are not included in income, these amounts are not later deducted from income.
Generally, you can use the nonaccrual-experience method for accounts receivable for services you performed only if:
The services are provided in the fields of accounting, actuarial science, architecture, consulting, engineering, health, law, or the performing arts; or
You meet the $5 million gross receipts test for all prior years.
You otherwise accrue the full amount due as gross income at the time you provide the services.
You treat the discount allowed for early payment as an adjustment to gross income in the year of payment.
If you claim a deduction for a bad debt on your income tax return and later recover (collect) all or part of it, you may have to include all or part of the recovery in gross income. The amount you include is limited to the amount you actually deducted. However, you can exclude the amount deducted that did not reduce your tax. Report the recovery as "Other income" on the appropriate business form or schedule.
See Recoveries in Pub. 525 for more information.

The longtime friends grabbed a bite to eat at their favorite restaurant Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, California.
Rihanna and Chris Martin sparked a dating rumor when they were spotted having dinner together on Sunday, June 8. Despite the rumor, the musicians who had collaborated on Coldplay's 2011 hit "Princess of China", showed no PDA or signs of intimacy.
Rihanna and Martin sat at a corner table at the Italian eatery Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, California. The "Diamonds" songstress and the Coldplay frontman are regulars at the restaurant. She was more covered up than usual with her black long-sleeved blouse and black skinny jeans. Meanwhile, he kept his look casual with a T-shirt and jeans.
They arrived separately at around 9 P.M., spending two hours at the restaurant. She left in a chauffeured vehicle while Martin left through the private back exit in his car, E! Online reported.
Earlier that evening, Martin was seen having brunch with his estranged wife Gwyneth Paltrow and their two kids, Apple and Moses. They announced their separation back in March, calling it quits after 10 years of marriage. However, they were frequently seen together after the announcement.
