Man… that order of user + exec thing… finally you help me get it solved ;))
Ubuntu – automatically mount partition at startup with fstab
Auto mount partitions
On linux the hard drive partitions are generally not mounted at boot. Clicking on the drive icon inside a file manager like nautilus or dolphin mounts them first and then shows the files. But it is possible to get the drives mounted right at boot.
The configuration file in this case is /etc/fstab. It contains options for each drive and the settings for mounting it at startup. Check your /etc/fstab file. It should look similar to this
# /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier # for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name # devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5). # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0 # / was on /dev/sda5 during installation UUID=9de0aab4-e64c-49c8-af55-cc7375a97dd6 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 # swap was on /dev/sda6 during installation UUID=31a6807b-3b3e-4f9d-95c2-ead64d0c7009 none swap sw 0 0
Now if a partition is to be mounted at startup , a line for that partition has to be added to this fstab file.
List out the partitions
Use the fdisk command to list of all partitions
$ sudo fdisk -l
Here is what the ouput would look like
Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x000ef50d Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 9138 73400953+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda2 9139 60801 414982985+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/sda5 9139 22192 104856192 83 Linux /dev/sda6 22193 22323 1052226 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda7 22324 35377 104856223+ 83 Linux /dev/sda8 44942 60801 127395418+ 83 Linux
Get the UUID of the partition
Next use the blkid command to get the UUID of partitions. The uuid is necessary to add the partitions to the fstab file. UUID numbers are used to uniquely identify a storage device like hard disk partition or a usb flash drive.
$ sudo blkid /dev/sda1: UUID="2A64794864791831" TYPE="ntfs" /dev/sda5: UUID="9de0aab4-e64c-49c8-af55-cc7375a97dd6" TYPE="ext4" /dev/sda6: UUID="31a6807b-3b3e-4f9d-95c2-ead64d0c7009" TYPE="swap" /dev/sda7: UUID="eba07f1f-b287-456a-b3d6-1c40d7b28a60" TYPE="ext4" /dev/sda8: UUID="475abb5b-471f-4a6f-a589-782f3afc427f" TYPE="ext4"
Note down the UUID of the partitions that you want to mount at startup.
Add partition to fstab
Now add the partition to the fstab file. If the partition already exists in fstab, then you just need to modify the options column to get it mounted every time. The fstab file can have comment lines, starting with the hash symbol.
# /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier # for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name # devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5). # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0 # / was on /dev/sda5 during installation UUID=9de0aab4-e64c-49c8-af55-cc7375a97dd6 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 # swap was on /dev/sda6 during installation UUID=31a6807b-3b3e-4f9d-95c2-ead64d0c7009 none swap sw 0 0 # 100GB /dev/sda7 UUID=eba07f1f-b287-456a-b3d6-1c40d7b28a60 /media/eba07f1f-b287-456a-b3d6-1c40d7b28a60 ext4 errors=remount-ro,auto,exec,rw,user 0 0 # 121GB /dev/sda8 UUID=475abb5b-471f-4a6f-a589-782f3afc427f /media/475abb5b-471f-4a6f-a589-782f3afc427f ext4 errors=remount-ro,auto,exec,rw,user 0 0
For example take the line :
UUID=eba07f1f-b287-456a-b3d6-1c40d7b28a60 /media/eba07f1f-b287-456a-b3d6-1c40d7b28a60 ext4 errors=remount-ro,auto,exec,rw,user 0 0
First part is the UUID , which is fetched from the command blkid.
Next is the path where the drive should be mounted. So first the directory /media/eba07f1f-b287-456a-b3d6-1c40d7b28a60 should be created
Next the file system type, here its ext4. It can be ext3 for older file systems.
Then comes the options errors=remount-ro,auto,exec,rw,user
remount-ro means remount partitions incase of read errors. auto - Automatically mount partitions at startup exec - Give users permission to execute files on this partition rw - Give read write permission user - Allow all non-root users to mount this partition
In the options column, make sure that exec comes after user. Because the option user will automatically specify noexec. So it won't be possible to execute files in that particular partition.
user permits any user to mount the filesystem. This automatically implies noexec, nosuid, nodev unless overridden. If nouser is specified, only root can mount the filesystem. If users is specified, every user in group users will be able to unmount the volume.
So if you want files to be executable in the other partitions, make sure that exec comes after user.
Save the fstab file and next time your restart Ubuntu , the partitions should be already mounted.
6 Comments + Add Comment
Oh man, how long do I browse blogs and all the forums to learn to mount via CLI. Then when using the UUIDs in 'Raspberry Pi' I read the first time about an order in the mount-options. Don't know how much problems I wouldn't have had when mounting as USER if someone before YOU would have talked about 'exec' after 'user'.

It was useful, but I got a bit lost when you say "Now add the partition to the fstab file."
For future references, I did this:
Write in terminal "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab" —> this will open the file so you can edit it.
Thanks for the help :)
thanks for pointing it out, will add that information to the post.
good explanation
thanks! Pretty useful!

The carbon pricing mechanism (CPM), also known as the Carbon Tax, started on 1 July 2012 as part of the government's plan to tackle climate change and secure a clean energy future. Under the CPM, liable entities must acquire and surrender eligible emissions units for their covered emissions to avoid paying a unit shortfall charge.

The favorable program results reflect prudent macroeconomic policies and important banking reforms, although progress with other structural reforms was less satisfactory. The outlook for 2005 is favorable. Growth will likely exceed 5 percent, and inflation is expected to fall to 5½–6½ percent. A strong foundation has been laid for continued fiscal consolidation. The pending reforms under the current program will need to be taken up by the new government.

About Rik
"I have been involved in Health in Cornwall for over 25 years, most recently as a non-executive director of the Royal Cornwall Hospital Trust.
On May 29th I resigned as Vice Chairman of the Royal Cornwall Hospitals Trust over the issue of privatising Hotel Services. I had been a member of the Board for over six years and a member of health boards in Cornwall for over 25 years. For me it was a matter of principle. The decision to privatise Hotel Services was taken without the board being allowed to receive important information about the disturbing employment practices of the preferred private provider. I could not remain on a board with this inadequate level of governance.
My decision to resign from the Royal Cornwall Hospital Trust has highlighted to Cornish patients the dangers of allowing boards of NHS trusts to make important decisions in secret.
The board of RCHT made the decision to privatise without being allowed to receive important information about the preferred private providers deplorable dispute and strike record. Despite my enjoyment at being involved with patients and staff I was not prepared to sit on a board which had so little concern for its 600 hard working staff as to force them into such an uncaring organisation whose sole reason for existing was to make private profit from unwell patients.
I was brought up in Canada moved to UK and left school at 16. I started my own Marquee Hire business in Cornwall at the age of 21, married the same year and have three children and seven Grandchildren. Over the past 45 years I have started and run three further businesses.
Here in Cornwall I have chaired Charitable Funds, Clinical Excellence Awards and was a member of the Audit and Governance Committees. I was also Chairman of a highly effective Charitable Appeal for Stroke patients in Cornwall which raised over £500,000.
In Canada I grew up with a health system that did not have a free at the point of need health care and witnessed folk having to remortgage their homes to pay for health care, hence my involvement in NHS boards in Cornwall for over 25 years.
The NHS is the greatest health care system in the world and now needs protecting from private profit vultures. I do not want to see a credit card accessed NHS in the UK but am deeply concerned this is the way we are heading. I lost the battle over privatising Hotel Services at RCHT but will do all in my power to prevent further privatisations in the NHS in Cornwall.

Wendell Minor is an extraordinarily talented fine artist who has received more than two hundred awards for his work. Authors refer to him as a "quiet genius" who creates with simplicity and elegance, a "master" at capturing the essence of the written word in vivid imagery, of creating brilliant paintings that evoke the true spirit of story and place. He has illustrated hundreds of covers for many of the most popular books of the past few decades.
Now, inspired by Katharine Lee Bates's classic verse, Minor gives readers his first picture book-beautiful visual accompaniment for an American standard. Traversing the entire nation, from the Empire State Building to the Grand Tetons, from the Alaskan coast to the Florida Everglades; encompassing multiple eras, from Pilgrims to wagon trains, from the Wright brothers to NASA, Minor takes us on a journey across land and time-literally from sea to shining sea.

It came down to people who won't read and adhere to the requirements constituting a large portion of the player base, so you can either let them in even though they don't cut it, or you can miss out on half the money you could be making.
I want more midcap only events, and only one or two allowed camo patterns per side. Defined chain of command. Missions with props. Better use of terrain and structures (not sending people up and down the worst parts of hills, use of multiple structures as objective points/containing props, or defined enemy contingents like a machine gun nest and a few crew for it, but not 80 dudes crammed in a shack). Objectives with more than one solution would be a plus.
I wouldn't mind seeing large-scale events with defined OPFOR, much like Enduring Horizon (2006) and the Fear This series (2005-2007). Essentially, the game happens in timed stages across multiple areas. You compete in large teams (10-30 people, maybe) You are given a briefing, told how much time you have to complete the station, you enter the portion of the playfield and do things like
-Cross enemy lines without being discovered and photograph the location of their ammo dump
-Kill a high value target guarded by several entrenched guards with multiple special weapons and gun emplacements
-Ambush and disable a vehicle patrol
-Get to tha choppa
-Patrol an area and survive any enemy contact they encounter
One or two basic objectives per station. Team A shows up, finishes the station in an hour and a half out of two hours or whatever, and has time to hydrate and snack up before they go to the next station. Team B comes to the station when A leaves, gets the same amount of time to try and complete the objective for that station, and so on.
These events can be graded simply on objective completion and time taken to complete them. You can decide if you want it tournament style, or just as a framework for your event. Scenarios could even be more complex and feature things like civilians who must be traded with and left unharmed, etc.
I'd like to see something fresh. A break from semi-serious long-style play and way-serious weekend-long MILSIM games, but that still calls to the tactical nerd more than a standard mini-op or skirmish. Something that lets the wimpy kids eat a snickers and keep from becoming a heat casualty between stations. Something senior community members can collaborate on putting together, from admining stations, to being actors or OPFOR. Events that required you to enlist with a team created a lot of drive for people to actually form teams in the first place. There used to be huge team diversity. Now there's our team, which is big, but no one remembers (DRAT), SOTA, FOAD, SpecDet, Cloud, Phantom Fury, and the Ronin AC. And that's it (sorry if I missed anyone, lol). If you tell 14-20-year-olds about your cool event and suggest they form a group and try and train up to win, you may see all those loner kids end up in matching camo and caring more about playing the objective than their own kills for the day.
We pulled off some good stuff 6-10 years ago without the strict age limit, but with good, stringent rules and well-planned, themed events. I got to do CQC4, 5, (acted at) 6, and 7, all of which were stellar. Got to go through Long Winter 2007, Galant Saber 3, and Total War 9 with Battlesim, and if we're talking about the same REMF I believe I rented an MP-40 from him for the weekend of Long Winter. The gear requirements, magazine capacity rules, and unwillingness to let people in who couldn't make the basic kit list helped make every event on that list as solid as they were and in no way crippled their marketability.Norseman wrote: Roll back airsoft 25 years in the PacNW to PSAC or Puget Sound Airsoft Command.
They had a basic packing list, camo requirements, props, military vehicles and oh yah......a age requirement of 18 and over. And they were strict about it. If you were not pre registered to the event? You didn't go through the gate.
It may sound draconian by todays standards but they put on quality events first. And many of us took back what we learned which I basically credit REMF with (John Robison). I also think Gunny was instrumental in AP's rise to fame as well soon after. Especially his CQC series.
I think as the sport grew and grew it picked up a woods paintball attitude. In which people may dress the part but they are truly an army of one. There of course were exceptions to this rule during this time frame. Some OP's became historical to ensure people were committed to get the gear and participate as a team member. Its also a good sign when you see people before the op walking through patrols, hand signals, react to contact drills, etc, etc. It means the airsofters are serious about working as a team. And the OP is probably not going to become a walking cluster fritter.
Also paintball respawn points ruin cohesion and unit structure upon first contact. Gotta have rules in place that somehow keeps the unit together and fighting. Unit CCP's, unit medics, unit respawns, etc.
Rob Kauder with Pegasus Milsim, still runs Milsim events, he is on facebook and they have a exclusive airsoft field now up in Spokane. He volunteers a lot at Milsim West games as well.

Type II diabetes can have complications
Type II diabetes develops mainly in people over 40 years of age; however, it is becoming more prevalent in children and young adults.
Worldwide, the number of people suffering with type II diabetes is on the rise.
Diabetes mellitus occurs when the level of glucose in the blood becomes higher than normal. There are two main types of diabetes - type I and type II.
Type II diabetes tends to develop over weeks or months. It occurs as:
- Not enough insulin is made for the body's needs, or
- The cells in the body do not use insulin properly. This is called insulin resistance, as the cells in your body become resistant to normal levels of insulin, or
- It can be caused due to a combination of both factors.
In type I diabetes, the pancreas stops making insulin and symptoms develop quickly over days or weeks as the insulin levels in the blood falls dramatically. Type I diabetes usually develops in children and young adults and is treated with insulin injections and dietary adjustments.
The risk factors for developing type II diabetes are as follows:
- Having a family member with type II diabetes.
- Being overweight.
- Having a waist circumference of more than 80cm in women or more than 94cm in men.
- Having impaired glucose tolerance. This is when glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough to have diabetes.
- Having impaired glucose tolerance when pregnant.
Common symptoms which patients may complain of include:
- Being thirsty often.
- Passing large amounts of urine.
- Feeling very tired.
- Unexplained weight loss.
- Some people also develop blurred vision, and frequent infections such as thrush.
A simple urinary test may detect glucose in the urine. To confirm the diagnosis, a fasting blood glucose test is required.
If blood glucose levels are higher than normal over a long period of time, they can gradually damage your blood vessels. This can cause the following problems:
- Atheroma formation, which causes narrowing of the arteries, leading to angina, heart attacks, stroke and poor circulation.
- Kidney damage.
- Eye problems.
- Nerve damage.
- Foot problems.
- Impotence.
The likelihood of developing complications from Type II Diabetes is reduced if other risk factors are dealt with by your GP i.e. high blood pressure.
The aims of treating patients with Type II Diabetes are as follows:
- To keep blood glucose levels as near to normal as possible.
- To reduce the risk of developing complications from Diabetes (as listed above).
- To reduce any associated risk factors in order to lower the overall risk of developing complications.
- To detect complications as soon as possible.
The blood test used to monitor blood glucose levels is called the HbA1c test. It should be performed every 3-6 months. It is a picture of one's blood glucose control over the preceding few weeks and helps to guide GP's in the management of their patients Diabetes.
- Eating a healthy diet low in fat, salt and sugar with a high intake of fibre and plenty of fruit and vegetables is important. This can be established by seeing a Dietician who can go through your diet with you and suggest a diet more appropriate and suitable for you going forward.
- Weight loss if overweight is of paramount importance with regular physical activity.
Medications may be used in conjunction with the above. They work by reducing blood glucose levels and different types of medications suit different individuals. It is common practice for a combination of medications to be required.

Home appliances are costly and intricate machines, mostly used to make our lives easier and simpler. Many of these machines have become part of our lives, and when one of your home appliances breaks down, we find ourselves at a complete loss on how to get stuff done without it. Swift repairs are therefore essential. Be proactive and make sure you look out for the little signs that may tell you that your home appliances need repairs immediately.
Fixing a broken appliance in the start when the problems are just beginning to show, saves you time and money that you'd otherwise have to put towards repairing it. Appliances make our lives much easier as they help out in the daily household chores from washing the dishes and cleaning the house, to doing the laundry; life seems unmanageable without home appliances.
It's always a good idea to call on an expert for repairing broken down or problematic home appliances. For safety purposes and for salvaging your machine, it would be advisable not to attempt fixing it yourself at home; instead, call on expert professional to repair it for you.
The following guidelines will help you in determining when you should call a professional in home appliance repair service for your home appliances.
Performance of Home Appliances
Pay close attention to how the machines are performing. If your clothes are not coming out as clean as they were before, or the vacuum is making a sound which you do not recognize, it may be time to call a repairman for checking it out. It's usually better to catch any faults in the earlier stages as it leads to a less costly repair.
Higher Utility Bills
You may not have noticed that your dryer takes longer to dry clothes- this results in higher energy consumption, increasing your bills, and you would definitely notice the increase. When any of the utility bills start increasing, look around your home appliances as reduced efficiency on their part may be the reason for the increase.
Calling a repairman to fix your malfunctioning appliances is a win-win situation because fixing appliances yourself could be hazardous to your health and may even cause further complications in your machine.
Next time you're in need of a repairman, feel free to call us at Bay Appliance Repair. We are experts in home appliance repair services. Call us at (415) 585 5900.

Random BSODs, even when idling
So for the past few months I was getting random BSODs mostly while being idle. I only had the time to reformat a few days ago and I still get those BSODs. Yesterday I got 2 BSODs while playing League of Legends, but like i said most of the time i got the BSODs while being idle.
I don't know what is causing them, help would be appreciated. I attached the dump files and everything else.

Windows 10 Home 64Bit
Take memtest. Run for 8 passes and test each stick in a know good slot for an additional 6 passes.
The goal is to test all the RAM sticks and all the motherboard slots.
Check your motherboard manual to ensure the RAM sticks are in the recommended motherboard slots. Some motherboards have very specific slots required for the number of RAM sticks installed.
If you get errors, stop the test and continue with the next step.
1. Remove all but one stick of RAM from your computer (this will be RAM stick #1), and run Memtest86 again, for 7 passes.
*Be sure to note the RAM stick, use a piece of tape with a number, and note the motherboard slot.If this stick passes the test then go to step #3.
2. If RAM stick #1 has errors, repeat the test with RAM stick #2 in the same motherboard slot.
*If RAM stick #2 passes, this indicates that RAM stick #1 may be bad. If you want to be absolutely sure, re-test RAM stick #1 in another known good slot.
*If RAM stick #2 has errors, this indicates another possible bad RAM stick, a possible motherboard slot failure or inadequate settings.3. Test the next stick of RAM (stick #2) in the next motherboard slot.
*If this RAM stick has errors repeat step #2 using a known good stick if possible, or another stick.
*If this RAM stick has no errors and both sticks failed in slot#1, test RAM stick #1 in this slot.4. If you find a stick that passes the test, test it in all the other motherboard slots.
If Part 2 testing shows errors, and all tests in Part 3 show errors, you will need to test the RAM sticks in another computer and/or test other RAM in your computer to identify the problem.
In this way, you can identify whether it is a bad stick of RAM, a bad motherboard, or incompatibility between the sticks.
Errors are sometimes found after 8 passes.
Do this test overnight, before going to bed.

Sorry for the late reply, I just want to say that i did run memtest and stuff. Nothing bad. I actually found the source of the problem which was gpu drivers problem, probably gpu ram problem ? this is the link that i followed to solve my problem if anybody else gets a problem like this.
Fix: Nvlddmkm.sys Blue Screen BSOD Error in Windows 7
edit: it took me a few weeks to do the memtest. I don't like leaving my pc overnight, it heats up my room too much and i wake up dehydrated =/ so i had to find time to those memtests, so it took me a while.

Wow, oh wow! I know that Strip Sudden Death can be an acquired taste. Some people do not like that the game can be over quite quickly, others love the risk and anticipation, knowing that the loser of a round gets no second chance , no opportunity to recover. Any girl losing a round is immediately required to strip completely naked.
I think this one will win round even the most ardent detractors. With four stunning girls, playing a game of Strip Sudden Death in the garden, you know that three of them are going to have to strip completely naked outdoors. Very sexy! See the rest of this Game on StripGameCentral.Com .

A crucial Capitol Hill project for one of the city's only providers of nonprofit, low-income health care will take what should be its final step in the Seattle design review process Wednesday night.
The Country Doctor Community Clinic's plan will create a new four-story building on the site of its 19th Ave E offices:
The new facility will provide medical services including a new dental clinic, and expanded services for WIC (Women, Infants and Children), Maternity, HIV and Chronic Pain. The project will also provide expanded administrative office and meeting space for the entire Country Doctor Community Health Centers network. The current 2,350 square feet of medical services and administrative offices provided on-site will be expanded to 9,000 square feet on the 1st and 2nd floors.
Meanwhile, the project's top two floors will house eight workforce apartments in a mix of studio and one-bedroom units. Country Doctor had hoped to to develop the housing as affordable apartments but that the project was too small to attract a development partner.
The new $6.5 million facility is being funded by a capital campaign, $1 million in federal grants, and a $1.2 million grant from the city to support the clinic's new dental services.
Executive director Linda McVeigh told CHS last fall the construction will also add more private rooms, sorely lacking in the current space. "A lot of services we provide are best provided in a one on one environment," she said. Continue reading

Today I will be writing about quite controversial/unpopular opinion topic, which is having children. Personally, I do not want to have them, and this statement mostly startles the people who are asking me.
Usually, people ask themselves whether is NOT having children selfish. The fact that I do not want to have children does not mean I do not want to become a parent one day. For someone, it might seem the same, but for me, it is not.
There are 7 billion of people in the world, and this number is increasing, and is beyond the capacity of this planet, by the way. And that means, among other things, hunger and a lot of people without homes. Indeed, this is one of the reasons because I do not want to contribute to this global issue.
The second reason is related to the previous one. There are a lot of children without families, so if I ever decide to become a parent, I will adopt a child. And yes, besides biological reasons, these are a few of my main arguments. I am not saying that having children is particularly selfish, but from this point of view, it is.
I am certainly not telling that other people should follow my example. It is just my personal decision, and arguments I find appropriate.
xoxo, S. V.

This Month's Theme: Be In Agreement With YourSelf
week of October 30, 2016
Spirit so loves to manifest that it placed its own Light at the center of your being. At your core, beyond the limiting thought forms you have bought into, there is a divine blueprint, a spiritual integrity factor. Today, dare to come out of a materialization mode and enter into the manifestation consciousness that is your birthright. In this state of conscious awareness you will live each moment as an embodiment of the words of Jesus when he said, "Strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Then the birds will carry food to your doorstep.
- Rev. Michael Bernard Beckwith
week of October 30, 2016
God lives in my heart and loves as my life!
The vitalizing energy of pure Spirit renews my body temple!
My life bears witness to the miraculous nature of God!
I am abundantly grateful and gratefully abundant!
The Christ consciousness is resurrected in me today!
This is a good beginning! And so it is! Amen!
Share the love:

In the horse race that is the Republican presidential contest, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, is coming up fast and breathing down the neck of Donald Trump.
Nationally, a new Quinnipiac poll shows Cruz only four points behind Trump, with Trump supported by 28 percent of voters and Cruz by 24 percent. The same poll shows when matched up against Hillary Clinton, Cruz ties Clinton at 44 percent Trump loses 47-40 percent.
The national poll came on the heels of others that show a strong surge by the Texas senator, including a poll from Iowa with Cruz leading Trump 40-31 percent.

In South Carolina, Cruz has tied Trump at 27 percent. In New Hampshire, Trump leads Cruz 24-16 percent. Cruz is also second in Florida, where Trump leads 29-18 percent.
Cruz supporters outlined their reasons for supporting the Texan.
TRENDING: Cowboys' Jerry Jones to NFL Boss Roger Goodell: 'I'm Gonna Come After You With Everything I Have'
John Salter, 90, of Jackson, Miss., made a 268-mile drive to hear Cruz on Sunday.
"He believes in the Constitution, and I do too. It's based on Christian principles," Salter said. "He's honest. He's intellectual. And he knows what to do."

"Ted Cruz is Newt with the brilliance and the grasp of the issues, but with no baggage," said Teri Sasseville, who serves on Cruz's Georgia leadership team. In 2012, she backed Gingrich, who won South Carolina and her home state of Georgia.
Cruz is a distinctive candidate for southern voters, said Charles Bullock, a political scientist at the University of Georgia.
"He's a southerner, and he's courting the evangelical vote," Bullock said. "He's well spoken. He's direct. But he also brings a southern accent and wears cowboy boots."

As Cruz climbs, polls show Republican Establishment candidates lagging. In the Quinnipiac poll, Trump, Cruz and Ben Carson have 62 percent of the vote, with Sen. Marco Rubio at 12 percent.
"As of now, with about 5 weeks until the actual voting begins, 2016 is looking like a race no one imagined: Donald Trump vs. Ted Cruz while, with bitter tears streaming down their plump cheeks, the Establishment presses its snotty nose against the glass wondering why voters won't ask them to come out and play," wrote Breitbart's John Nolte.

South Australia's Strategic Plan is comprised of 100 targets. These targets are specific and measurable and enable us to measure our progress towards achieving the Plan's visions and goals.
Each target is reported on through this section of the website. Data is analysed and uploaded as it becomes available.
Target:34. Credit rating:
Maintain AAA credit rating
Explanatory Comments
Rating agencies such as Standard and Poor's and Moody's regularly assess and rate the creditworthiness of governments and businesses. Having a higher credit rating means that the state is able to borrow on more favourable terms to finance major infrastructure projects.
In 2004, the baseline year for this target, both agencies rated South Australia to their highest credit rating of 'AAA'— Standard and Poor's in September 2004 and Moody's in November 2004. In every yearly review until 2011, both agencies rated South Australia at their highest credit rating. In 2012, Standard & Poor's and Moody's downgraded the state's credit rating from AAA to AA and Aa1, respectively.
The original 2004 SASP included a credit rating target (T1.17), as did the 2007 SASP (T1.13). This reflected the fact that, throughout this period, one of the Government's key fiscal targets was to maintain a AAA credit rating for South Australia.
Since then, a number of international, national and local factors led to cautious spending by consumers, and a significant decline in revenues. In response, the Government has reviewed and updated the underlying fiscal targets on which the budget is based. Rather than focusing on the AAA rating, the new targets focus on the broader issue of fiscal sustainability:
- a net operating surplus by the end of the forward estimates;
- operating expenditure growth limited to trend growth in household income, once surplus is achieved; and
- a level of general government net debt that remains affordable over the forward estimates— a maximum ratio of net debt to revenue of 35 per cent.

It has been 5 years since our favorite socialite and vigilante Emily Thorne thrust us into the world of Revenge. Though the show ended after a thrilling four season run, we still look back fondly on our time in the Hamptons. For all those "Revengers" out there, here are 14 facts about the show; some are well-known and others may give you a Revenge-like thrill you haven't felt in a while.
Spoilers ahead!
1. Emily Thorne, Jack Porter, Victoria Grayson, and Nolan Ross are the only people to appear in all 89 episodes. This takes into account that Victoria only appeared in a previously unseen video clip in Aftermath (season 4, episode 21).
2. The last episode of Revenge takes place in 2015, with Victoria having died in 2014 where the rest of the season takes place. David died a year later, after living long enough to get to know Amanda before his cancer took him.
3. All the men Emily Clarke/Amanda Thorne dates die except for Jack, whom she married in the series finale.
4. Hiroyuki Sanada, who played Satoshi Takeda in season one, was replaced by Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa after he was unable to appear in the second season due to scheduling conflicts with his role in 2013's The Wolverine.
5. Each episode has a single word title except for the series finale, which is titled Two Graves. This title references the quote Emily reads aloud in the series' first episode.
6. There was a Turkish remake of Revenge named Intikam, which aired for two seasons from 2013—2014.
7. Of the 14 series regulars, seven were dead by the show's end. The only natural death was that of David Clarke, who died of cancer. Declan, Aiden, Conrad, Daniel, Ben, and Victoria's deaths were all at the hand of another.
8. The pilot episode was filmed in and around Wilmington and South Port, North Carolina. Doubling as the Hamptons, these locations are home to both Emily's beach house and the interiors of Grayson Manor, all filmed in real houses. The show filmed in Los Angeles after that.
9. Horror legend Stephen King enjoyed the first season of Revenge enough to list it at number 11 on his Top 20 of 2011 for Entertainment Weekly.
10. James Tupper replaced Marc Blucas (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) as Emily's father, David Clarke, after Blucas dropped out due to his commitments to the show Necessary Roughness.
11. The show was inspired by, and loosely based on, The Count of Monte Cristo.
12. Marvel Comics published a Revenge graphic novel, cowritten by series writer Ted Sullivan, which explores the origins of Emily Thorne's journey towards revenge. It was released in 2014.
13. The name Emily is derived from the Latin word aemulus, meaning "rival." Opposite that, the name Amanda means "lovable" in Latin.
14. After much speculation, fans finally learned through a tweet by Emily VanCamp that Emily/Amanda did not end up with Victoria's heart in the series finale.

text: Went out in the car tonight, and straight away it felt slightly odd. When spooling up from low revs (when planting your foot quite hard) the car seems to surge almost too hard. Almost if its over boosting. If you are doing 50-60mph in 6th and floor it by comparison you don't seem to get anything like the surge I used to. However if I drop a gear it is quite a bit better, but somewhat inconsistent. Seems to be no issue with getting to high speeds, and no apparent misfires etc... Only other thing I have noticed is a fluttery sound coming from the drivers footwell. Aiming to get the car on VAGCOM tomorrow, but any thoughts from anyone as to what is sounds like. Car is running 98RON, not long serviced, and a new revision OEM DV, so don't see these as an issue. Could it be MAF related? Many thanks in advance.

How to Restore Your Credit
The Dollar Stretcher.com 'Get Out of Debt' Course
After you've begun a program to solve your debt problem, it's time to address any damage that your credit score may have suffered. According to FICO, 90% of all lending decisions rely on FICO scores. So it's important for you to know your score and get it as high as possible.
Your credit score is made up of reports from a variety of people that you do business with. They keep track of how good you are at paying your bills and pass the information on to the credit agencies who use a formula to give you a credit score.
You actually have many credit scores. Some are specialized for a specific use. Two are the most commonly used: FICO and VantageScore. FICO has been around since 1989. VantageScore is a newcomer created by the three major credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax and TransUnion). All evidence is that if you improve one the other will improve, too. So we'll focus on the FICO score.
FICO scores range from 300 to 850. FICO doesn't say what's a 'good' score. They leave it to the lenders to decide what score is acceptable to them. But some general guidelines apply.
- >under 630 = bad credit
- 630 to 689 = average credit
- 690 to 719 = good credit
- 720 to 850 = excellent credit
Check your report for errors. Approximately 1 in 4 credit reports contain an error that's big enough to affect the interest rate you'd pay for a loan. Take the time to check your report for errors. This article will show you how to do it.
Revisit Your Loans. After you've raised your credit score it's time to see if you can borrow at a lower rate.
- Repeat the process in Working Your Debt Solution Plan: Your Mortgage. See if you can refinance your mortgage.
- Repeat the process in Working Your Debt Solution Plan: Your Auto Loans. See if you can refinance your car.
- Repeat the process in Working Your Debt Solution Plan: Your Credit Cards. See if you can get a better deal on a balance transfer credit card.
- Charting your financial future - Take advantage of your new found freedom from debt and build a sound financial future.
In the next lesson we'll work with you to help you leverage your new found debt freedom.

Qualities of the Best Video Testimonials
According to a survey of consumer preferences, 92% of people now read online reviews about products and services before purchasing.
Furthermore, the degree of trust in online recommendations is fast-growing as more and more consumers use the internet to do their research. In fact, more than three-quarters of them trust online reviews more than personal recommendations. So it's a no-brainer that you should place your best testimonial videos front and center on your website.
What the best customer testimonial videos have in common is that they're believable stories about the usefulness of your product or service.
Here are some specifics:
- The most effective videos are personal, authentic, eye-to-eye statements by satisfied customers. (Tip: Steer your customers in the right direction with these three video testimonial questions.)
- The video format intensifies the testimonial because the customer can see the speakers and judge the sincerity of what they are saying from facial expression and demeanor.
- The written word is generally perceived as less reliable than video.
- The best customer service videos are shot with simple equipment.
- They are most effectively shot in the home of the subject or a familiar kind of neighborhood location far from a studio.
- Viewing the most effective testimonial videos confirms the impression that a quality video can be shot with a cell phone camera or simple small hand-held camera.
- Pieces can be stitched together with simple video software to make a short and powerful statement.
In the best testimonial videos, customers tell the story of how they used a product or service and how successfully the product solved their problems and met their needs. Narratives are most effective because they're not just statements of value, they're demonstrations of value.
Some of the most effective testimonial videos combine testimonial statements with actual demonstrations of the product by the customer. When potential buyers view this kind of video they get a strong impression of the value of the product and the way the product actually works.
What are some other qualities of the customer testimonial videos? Comment and let us know!

Spring Gardening for Summer Entertaining
April, 2012 · By Coryanne Ettiene
I grew up watching my grandfather tend to his beloved fruit trees. Some of my fondest memories from my childhood involve watching him nurture his garden and then generously passing out bundles of citrus each summer. He taught me the importance of patience, the beauty of giving the gift of food and the happiness that can be found in quietly tending to a kitchen garden. My grandfather had the gift of a green thumb, his love of nature and gentle spirit always brought a calm into the garden…somehow the birds were always singing and the bees always buzzing when he stepped outside with his watering can. On the contrary, my kitchen gardening skills are anything but tranquil, and my thumb is anything but green. I have to approach gardening with a mechanical check list. For me, gardening success only comes when I work at it, calculate it and take pleasure in the small victories rather than harp on about the wilted herbs, bitter squash and pests that nearly always result when I step outside with my watering can.
Each spring I take a deep breath and venture outside with wild aspirations of a garden my grandfather would be proud of. And this year is no different, I long for a summer garden full of color to brighten the view from my kitchen window, and make my outdoor entertaining more delightful.
Advice on spring gardening for summer entertaining
Sow Grow Cook: Planting your vegetable garden now will give you the summer harvest that every cook longs for. Read my tips for a cooks garden here.
Bring the outdoors in: Spring is the perfect time to use your kitchen window for showcasing bulbs, herbs and bedding plants. Be creative with how you display them. Using shallow bowls, tea pots, cocktail glasses or even the traditional vase allows you to plant bulbs indoors, giving you fresh flowers without the expense of buying cut stems each week.
Brighten your outdoor view: Container planting is a great way to liven up a patio or urban garden. If space allows, clusters of blooms along paths provide a welcome trial that will brighten up your outdoor entertaining space. If you fancy planting bulbs this month, stick with summer blooms Canna, Crocosmia, Dahlias, Gladiolus or Rain Lilies.
Focus on your lawn. Your grass is at its most fragile right now and needs plenty of TLC to nurse it back to life after a long cold winter. Give your lawn a good feed and re-seed, then keep it moist to encourage germination. Once it starts to grow, keep it trimmed within an inch of its life — mosquitos love resting in your cool lawn as much as you do — the shorter and more frequently you mow your lawn, the less likely they are do seek shelter in it.
Shop smart at the garden center: If you are anything like me, shopping at the garden center at the first signs of spring is like entering a grocery store on an empty stomach, leaving you with a trolly bursting with random plants, excess gardening accessories (oh aren't those gloves pretty?) and a bill that makes you ban all cafe coffee for the next month. Brush up on your garden center tactics with my guide to shopping smart here.
5 Spring cleaning tasks for every garden:
- Get your garden tools in shape for the busy season by sharpening your mower blades, replacing any damaged tools, ensuring you have gardening supplies stocked in your shed.
- Look over your garden steps, decking, paths, fences to check for winter damage and repair replace as needed.
- Tidy up your garden furniture by giving everything a good wipe down and polish, then repair or replace any broken equipment.
- If you have children, now is a good time to review your garden toys and get rid of anything broken that cannot be fixed, they have outgrown or that you are just tired of looking at.
- Check your garden lighting, replace or repair where necessary.

Shanghai, once home to the world's biggest bicycle industry, has begun testing a Paris-style rental program to encourage people to get back on bikes, officials say
The program was launched to coincide with World Car Free Day on Monday and is part of the city's preparations to host the 2010 World Expo, whose theme is "Better City, Better Life", Shanghai Metro said.
The limited trial began at a metro station near a high-tech research centre in the Pudong area to encourage people to bike between the station and their offices, Shanghai Metro said.
If successful, the program will be expanded to 800 stands outside metro station exits and on 2,700 other sites in business and residential areas by 2012, the Shanghai Morning Post reported.
To use the system, riders must pay a 200 yuan ($A35) deposit and are charged one to three yuan an hour on a progressive system designed to encourage short rents and quick turnover. The first half hour is free.
The bicycles are being supplied by the Shanghai Forever Bicycle Company, one of Shanghai's oldest bicycle brands.
Shanghai-made Forever, Phoenix and Flying Pigeon brand bicycles used to dominate the city's roads, but as China has become more affluent, cars have taken over.
The city recently banned bicycles from travelling on select major roads to prevent them from slowing down motorists.
The Shanghai program uses technology similar to Paris' successful "Velib" scheme, which was launched last year and has since been emulated by other cities.

The ability to manipulate time. I could sleep in as long as I want, take as much time as I want to write and play, and rob banks when everyone else is frozen in place.
I was going to say "invisibility", but after seeing Jarn's answer... I'm going to go with that one, as well.
Just imagine being able to calmly step out of the way of a bullet or do tricks in slow-mo to yourself that looked wicked fast to everyone else, that would be a pretty cool power, lol. I think there was a short lived TV show way back about that?
LOL nice one Jarn! I'd have to say the power of suggestion like the one on Heroes. I can order people around to sit, play dead, and cluck like a chicken :D

Covered Counties are eligible for Public Assistance and Hazard Mitigation Programs
Congressman Steve King announced today that Iowa's request for a Major Disaster Declaration had been granted by President Obama. Today's decision comes just nine days after Congressman King wrote the President to request that he approve Iowa's request for federal assistance following severe storms beginning in early June and continuing. King's letter to the President was signed by all five Members of Iowa's Congressional House delegation. As a result of today's disaster declaration, counties that have suffered significant storm, flood and tornado damage caused by the severe weather systems that have swept through the state since June 1 are eligible for FEMA's public assistance and hazard mitigation programs.
"Today's decision will be welcome news for Iowans, and I appreciate the Administration's decision to approve the state's request for this disaster declaration," said King. "I know that the scenes of flood damage I observed in Cherokee County are being repeated throughout both the 5th district and the state at large. Access to these federal recovery programs will help those communities that have been severely impacted by the storms get back on their feet."
The following counties are covered by the July 29, 2010 disaster declaration:
Adams, Appanoose, Audubon, Buena Vista, Butler, Cherokee, Clay, Davis, Decatur, Franklin, Howard, Humboldt, Iowa, Lee, Lyon, Madison, Marion, Mills, Monroe, Montgomery, O'Brien, Osceola, Palo Alto, Ringgold, Shelby, Union, Van Buren, Wapello, Warren, Wayne, Webster and Wright.

What do you see, when you see me?
A youthful, energized woman in her early 20s? A youth who is noticably different from others? A girl, whose tits you are curious about? Or perhaps, an instrument for sex?
What do you see, when you see me?
I experience being sexually objectified on many occasions ever since stepping into adulthood.
I was asked how much I cost per night to sleep with.
I was offered by a rich manager to be his 二奶(secret girlfriend outside la). He offered to buy me an apartment in KL wtf.
When I was 18, I was sexually harrassed in a convenient store. A men groped my thigh from under my knee-length dress.
When I go shopping, some men stalk me.
Whenever I am alone on the street at night, I get wolf-whistles about a nice body and big tits this and that. I even got offered free rides with the condition of a consensual sex.
(All of which happened when I am not wearing anything revealing)
When I talked about this problem to others, almost all females have experienced the same too. But instead of the question "Why would men do this? It isn't nice", I get reactions like the ones below:
"I guess you were wearing too sexy stuff."
"Aiyo, what to do? Take it as a compliment that people find you hot lo."
"You probably shouldn't walk alone at night"
"Why are you overreacting? IT IS NORMAL!"
I started pondering why getting sexually and verbally harrassed are considered normal. It's happening too often, so often that we internalise the concept that as long as you're a female, wolf-whistles happen on you, and all you must do is to avoid them. JUST AVOID THEM.
Which is RIDICULOUS.
We are supposed to live in a world where we feel safe enough, even from verbal attacks, to be able to carry out our daily work. As long as I have any commitment outside my home, sometimes, I cannot avoid walking home late at night.
So how do I really avoid verbal harrasment or the danger of getting raped? I can't leave my vagina at home!
I have come down to an answer: By being a man.
Which is pathetic because, since when our society have become one that is so unsafe for females?
Ever since I become aware of sexism, I stopped dressing up like a woman. I stopped wearing feminine dresses that accentuate my curves, short pants and high heels almost completely. I spent a large amount of money buying coats, long pants and male-cutting outfit because I know this kind of outfit gives a sense of power, which I need desperately, to protect and distance myself from not just strangers, but also from my colleagues. I want to change the initial impression I gave them, which is expressively sexy or physical wtv it is, although honestly, I haven't done much to make them think like this of me. In fact, I work VERY VERY HARD to change this impression. I want people to see past my physical appearance and give credits to my character. I am very independent, brave and daring for my age. I am vocal about gender equality and I am a social activist. I am smart and I am very knowledgable about many other stuffs. I am opinionated and I speak out against the wrong-doings.
Then I realise that sexism and sexual objectification isn't just placed by men on women, but also BY WOMEN ON WOMEN!
In medicine, sometimes we need a student who is willing to take off his clothes for us to study anatomy. Usually, this student would be a male as it is more convenient especially when we are studying the structure in the chest and the heart (females are not encouraged as we have breasts). Last week, the laboratory assistant wanted to give us a chance to learn about how to handle a female patient in examining the heart so she requested to have a girl to strip. The female volunteer was required to take off her bra to ease the study process.
Immediately all arrows were pointed at me because my colleagues think I'm the sexy girl. They were like OMG Jinghui u da sexy girl u go! WTF la you think I'm very comfortable at being naked ah?!
Anyway coming back to the topic, another friend of mine, A, almost went for it and I really appreciate and am thankful that she was trying to help me. But eventually I still went for it because of peer pressure. I mean, HOW TO NOT GO WHEN 10 PEOPLE WERE POINTING AT YOU LOL this is quite f***ed up and funny at the same time.
Update: Okay la you may be over-imagining now haha. Guys were blocked by the curtains in the surrounding so no worries. Thank you for your concern. :)
Update-update: I don't think that we should place the responsibility on a certain individual. This is a phenomenon which we all face and have contributed to. All of us are responsible as a society. On a side note, a friend just told me that if I was uncomfortable, I could have just refused. I know this exactly. But during that moment, nobody was willing to go for it. And when the lab assistant says if somebody don't come up now, we cant proceed with the learning. Well I guess just go do this shit was what crossed my mind then ahhaahhahaa
That was when I learned that, people have already tagged me, and the tag is not removable. They label me as a sexy girl. I have COMPLETELY stopped wearing anything that's revealing for 2 years. I am the only female colleague who dress up as a male to class. I don't act girly or femininely in any way at all. I even stop wearing pretty dresses to special occasions.
Yet the label stays.
But it doesn't matter whether the label stays. What matter is, they think that being labelled as a sexy girl means I am more comfortable at being naked.
What makes you think that you can label me as the "sexy girl"?
What makes you think that a "sexy girl" is more comfortable to be rid of clothes, than you are?
What makes you think that a "sexy girl" deserves to be targeted when a topic regarding sensitive parts of the body is brought up?
If you think a "sexy girl" deserves to be rid of clothes more than you do, do you think that she stands a better chance to be raped too?
So if one day I really get raped (touchwood), what are you going to say? Are you gonna say, "OMG she got raped, but what to do la she's the sexy girl she has big tits big butt ma"?
What makes you think that a "sexy girl" is more comfortable to be rid of clothes, than you are?
I have feelings too. I am just as uncomfortable as you when I have to be half-naked in front of 10 people.
So why am I subjected to stripping? Why only me?
Update: After reading this, some people asked me, "aiya small matter, just get picked to get some clothes off ma, why you making such a big fuss?"
But take note, why subconsciously, would people pick me out of the crowd? Why me? Because subconsciously, we make judgements. Subconsciously, you decide who you think should strip for the day: Me. Your subconscious decisions are powerful, so powerful they become your instinct, they determine your character, your openness and your judgement. And it is a big deal because, even if it didn't happen to me, the attack would have been directed to someone else, someone who is tagged the same label beside me.
Update: I don't blame my colleagues for this. They are not at fault and in fact, they are just like everyone else and they are nice people. This is what our society have done to us. And it's up to us to make a change :)
Honestly, I am not upset that this happened. In fact, I am happy that it happened as I have learned something new. So whoever reads this, don't be sorry for what I have gone through because I'm not sorry myself :) I totally understand how it feels when people force you to "volunteer" when you're unwilling, aka peer pressure. Now, I have a better understanding on prejudice and sexual objectification.
I discover that there are still rooms for improvement for our generation and our mindsets. I also learned that sexism has to be eliminated not just from the mindset of men, but from the society as a whole. This incidence has affirmed my commitment as a social activist to eliminate sexism and sexual objectification. As a feminist who promote gender equality, I naturally become very interested in body image and the influence of social media. Now, I have gained interest in sexual objectification too.
Now, I have a new question.
Is Sexual Objectification all about victimisation?
For me, yes. I want people to concentrate on my character and inner strength. I want people to see what I've done and what I've achieved. But people only see superficially. I can't change that much. I am the victim here.
But what about people like Kim Kardashian, who encourages not just sexual objectification but also motivates women to objectify themselves? In fact, now in the modern world, many powerful celebrities like a tons of Victoria Secret angels also objectify themselves and become famous. They are powerful, popular, and their bodies become their utmost assets.
Just scroll through Instagram. There are hundreds and thousands of men and women posting revealing and provocative photos. They have thousands of likes and they get sponsors, money etc. It has evolved into a form of empowerment.
What about them?
I hope to be able to make some more time out to conduct a new research (uni syllabus), besides my current one on body image, to study sexual objectification. :)
I hope this entry would raise some questions on the circumstances that happen very often in the society, yet we always take them for granted. For example, we think that girls getting wolf-whistles is normal. I hope that I have triggered some thoughts, and inspired you in some ways. Let's fight for gender equality together.
Update: Upon reading this entry, many have sent me messages and express concern. Thank you so much for your concern! Haha just to clarify, I'm as happy and blur-headed as usual. I am definitely not an ounce affected. I share my entry because I want people to be aware of things that happen to many girls out there. I want to make it a point that everyone, man and woman, should share the responsibility of eliminating sexual objectification in the society.
Update Update: I was angry. I am relieved now. No worries :)
Thank you for taking your time to read this!

Massachusetts High Court Hears Oral Argument on Consumer's Standing to Recover Sales or Use TaxNovember 9, 2017
By Attorney Morris N. Robinson and Attorney Yale Yechiel N. Robinson of M. Robinson Tax Law. An attorney representing a Massachusetts consumer ("Dedham Health") argued this week that the Massachusetts Department of Revenue (DOR) must abate and refund the sales tax and/or use tax that the seller collected from Dedham Health and then paid to the DOR. The seller, an entity that sold Dell computers and related services, argued alongside the DOR that Dedham Health was not entitled to receive a refund.

Preserving Massachusetts Appellate Tax Board Appeals Rights: Recent ATB Decision Highlights Three Traps for the UnwaryMay 7, 2015
Phillips v. Commissioner of Revenue (ATB 2015-113 published on March 20, 2015) highlights three traps for the unwary that can hurt Massachusetts taxpayers. For example, it may be a trap to follow the appeals procedures set forth in Massachusetts Department of Revenue ("MDOR") letters to taxpayers. In Phillips, taxpayers followed these procedures. The Massachusetts Appellate Tax Board ("ATB")[1] nonetheless dismissed the taxpayers' appeal for lack of jurisdiction. The ATB decision in Phillips is summarized and discussed below. The full text is available for download on the ATB website.[2]
Filing a Timely Appellate Tax Board Appeal: Recent ATB Decision Highlights a Trap for the UnwaryMay 5, 2015
Prompt appeal of an adverse tax audit result to the Massachusetts Appellate Tax Board ("ATB") is essential in order to preserve your rights as a taxpayer. The ATB has jurisdiction to hear state tax appeals pursuant to Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 62C, Section 39. You must appeal within sixty (60) days after the Massachusetts Department of Revenue ("DOR") has denied your abatement application. The ATB does not have jurisdiction and cannot preside over a late-filed appeal. Therefore, taxpayers and tax professionals need to understand when the sixty-day appeal window opens and closes.
Choosing the "Right" Income Tax Return PreparerFebruary 17, 2015
The IRS audits about one taxpayer in ten who reports more than $1 million in income. Many of these taxpayers are at the height of their careers and cannot endure even a whiff of scandal. They need peace of mind so they can concentrate on their careers. At the same time, they do not want to pay more than they have to in income taxes. After all, these taxpayers often have significant expenses such as high tuitions for their children at elite colleges and large mortgages on their vacation homes. Therefore, savvy high-income taxpayers with complex returns will want to choose their income tax return preparers carefully.
One Size Does Not Fit All: Unintended Consequences of the Offshore Voluntary Disclosure ProgramJuly 3, 2013
On January 9, 2012, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) reopened the Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program ("2012 OVDP") "on the heels of strong interest in the 2011 and 2009 programs." Although the IRS maintains that it may "end the 2012 program at any time in the future," there is no indication that it will abandon its well-established pattern of announcing new iterations of the OVDP with slight changes to form and slightly more significant changes to substance. The steadily increasing rate of the miscellaneous penalty—currently 27.5 percent of the highest aggregate value of foreign accounts and/or assets that are connected in any way to the taxpayer's noncompliance, a significant increase from the 20-percent miscellaneous penalty in the 2009 Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program ("2009 OVDP")—suggests that the IRS is seeking to deter noncompliant taxpayers from taking a "wait and see" approach.

Hiking Owl's Head Mountain is such a treat! First of all, it's almost a straight upwards climb through boulders, rocks, and forest. And when you make it to the top, your reward is one of the most amazing views of the High Peaks. Just outstanding!
I also love that the Owl's Head Mountain hike is shorter then most. It takes about an hour if you are trekking fast and 2 hours if you take your time.
Getting to the top is somewhat treacherous so I recommend good hiking shoes.
If you take your time, it's great for families too! There's a cliff that's perfect for practicing your mountain climbing, whether you're a beginner or just brushing up on your skills.
And be sure to bring your dog too. They will love it!

I had the unique opportunity to watch whales on their way from Hawaii to Alaska last year, in April-May, when I visited the Hawaiian Islands. I was on a boat trip, back from Lanai to Maui, when, around the sunset hour, within the peacefulness of the ocean, I could spot the black back or the white tail (the back of the tail) of a whale, until one of them blew out some air and water right into the sunset glow. I was glad I still had my long lens on the camera. It was one of these moments when I realized that my long lens wasn't really long enough...
Watching whales respecting them and their habitat... there are only a few things as miraculous as serene as this kind of experience. It happened to me only once before, in Provincetown, MA.
Hopefully next time I visit Hawaii I'll be able to enjoy these majestic animals again... and maybe spot some dolphins, too

Christmas is just days away – are you ready to spread holiday cheer both near and far? If so, you need the right ride to do it! We vote the Toyota Sienna as the perfect family ride for getting around town AND out of town this holiday season, and there's still time to put yourself in the driver's seat. Check out what this amazing Toyota minivan has to offer you!
The Orlando Toyota Sienna is a perfect holiday getaway car
Space: If Santa didn't have a sleigh, he'd probably opt for the Orlando Toyota Sienna to pack up all the presents on Christmas Eve. It's incredibly spacious with seating for up to eight, as well as a cargo area that holds 39.1 cubic feet of gear, including an under-floor storage area. Plus, the interior is super versatile. You can fold flat and stow away seats that aren't in use to make room to stretch out OR store more gear. It's perfect for long highway road trips (trust us, those captain's chairs are mighty comfy!).
Technology: Who wants to be bored or stressed on a holiday road trip? Keep backseat passengers entertained with a Blu-Ray entertainment center (and don't worry – it comes with wireless headphones), and keep yourself occupied with Bluetooth wireless streaming and Sirius XM Satellite Radio for all of your favorite Christmas music. You'll also love Driver Easy Speak, which amplifies your voice throughout the cabin, as well as handy audio controls mounted right on your steering wheel for easy access. And did we mention the Orlando Toyota Sienna offers access to real-time traffic and weather updates to ensure your drive time is easy and safe?

You'll have features like an Advanced Airbag System, Toyota Star Safety System, a Pre-Collision System, rear parking sonar, a Blind Spot Monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, and the LATCH system for easy installation of car and booster seats. Rest easy knowing you and your family are in good hands!
