After touring Ithaca Commons with Mayor Svante Myrick and Ithaca community and business leaders, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand today announced her support for federal funding for transit upgrades. Senator Gillibrand is urging the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) to fund the City of Ithaca's request for federal investments to rebuild Ithaca Commons as a community transit hub that would support a more efficient bus route between local colleges and universities and downtown, as well as encourage clean energy transportation initiatives with the addition of bike share facilities and electric vehicle charging stations.
"Investing in transportation infrastructure is one of the fastest, most effective ways to create jobs now, and lay the foundation for more jobs tomorrow," Senator Gillibrand said. "A fresh face for Ithaca Commons and building a new transit corridor with more choices for travelers has the potential to connect more of our workers, students and businesses, support job creation and help attract new businesses to get Ithaca's economy on the move, while getting more cars off our roads to help protect the air we breathe and the water we drink."
Ithaca Mayor Svante Myrick said, "We are thankful for the Senator's support. The Senator understands that transforming our transportation infrastructure is good for our environment, it's good for the people who live and work in our community, and it's good for the small businesses that will benefit from increased access and will finally begin to take the advantage back from the national chain stores."
"The reconstruction of the Ithaca Commons and the creation of enhanced transit corridors from Downtown to Cornell and eventually Ithaca College are key components of our 2020 Downtown Development Strategy," Executive Director of Downtown Ithaca Alliance, Gary Ferguson said. "Together these transportation infrastructure improvements will act as catalysts for well over $100 million in new downtown housing and commercial development. That's a tremendous boost for Ithaca and for upstate New York."
Specifically, Ithaca is applying for funding through DOT's State of Good Repair Grant Program and DOT's Bus and Bus Facilities Livability Initiative Grant Program. Funds would be used to update the transit system to meet a growing demand for service. The upgrades would include a rapid bus transit loop between downtown Ithaca and Cornell University while adding bike share facilities and electric vehicle charging stations. The improvements would also include real-time arrival information through smart phone apps or on the internet.
In her letters to U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray Lahood, Senator Gillibrand wrote, "The transit hub in downtown Ithaca is essential to the region's transportation system. On a daily basis, the students of Cornell University, Ithaca College, and Tompkins County Community College, as well as 64,000 workers employed in Tompkins County, depend on the transit hub buses to get to work or around town."

The NFL has many problems. Fortunately, we only have the space and time to deal with one of them, because otherwise I'd be ranting on here until I was older and greyer than Joe Gibbs. For this week, we'll concentrate upon 'recognition'.
The NFL is big on recognition. The existence of a player is only validated if he has some sort of statistic attached to him, or some sort of special moment in NFL history. For example, no-one would remember Scott Norwood, had he not shanked the field goal attempt which would've won a Superbowl for the Buffalo Bills, but he did and as a result Jim Kelly has the unenviable statistic of being the only quarterback to be on the losing side in four Superbowls. Similarly, it is unlikely that David Tyree's career will be remembered for anything other than The Helmet Catch in this year's match.
The problem with this approach is that there are many, many players who will go through their career without breaking any significant records or doing something really dumb. How do you mark their careers? This being America, they've come up with two ways - the Pro Bowl and the Hall of Fame.
In this, the NFL is no different to a lot of other sports. Many of them have All-Star games (which is what the Pro Bowl amounts to) and Halls of Fame. The difference is that American Football is played exclusively in America. Even the Canadian version plays to slightly different rules. So, in every other sport, you have the chance of representing your country against another country. In American Football, like in Aussie Rules, you don't get that chance.
All of which means that, to the fan of this game, the Pro Bowl and the Hall of Fame take on a disproportionately large meaning. Getting to the Pro Bowl is like getting an international cap. Which makes it a shame that, every year, the game is as bad as watching an England friendly. Painfully, painfully dire. You'd see more tackling if you installed Dale Winton and Julian Clary as linebackers.
You want to know how bad it is? The game was screened by Fox because, in a very clever deal, if you want to screen the Superbowl, you have to take the Pro Bowl as well. They couldn't be bothered to anything more than their third string commentary team. This, for a game which is screened, for some inexplicable reason, on prime time television.
In truth, there was one decent, hard, tackle in the game. I know this because I only saw the highlights (which marks me out as a positive zealot, as most columnists won't admit to watching it at all) and the tackle was practically 10% of it. That tackle was made by Asante Samuel of the Patriots, representing the AFC. That's the same Asante Samuel who became a free agent last Friday (i.e. available for transfer) and who had one of the worst Superbowls in living memory. No ulterior motive there, then.
Another thing which makes the Pro Bowl a farce is that the coaches have only four days to work with their teams, because they don't get together until after the Superbowl. And the teams themselves are coached by the coaching teams which lost the Championship games in January, so in this case the Patriots and the Chargers. No coaching team, faced with a squad of players who normally represent other sides, is going to give away anything from their own playbook. So each side ends up running the basic plays every team uses, with the odd gadget (trick) play thrown in to entertain the crowd. So, on Sunday, we had a fake punt, two 15 yard penalties for fielding illegal defenses, an NFC touchdown largely due to the AFC only having ten men on the pitch and Devin Hester, the recordbreaking kick returner, opting to throw a pass instead of running a kick back.
The thing which really annoys me about the Pro Bowl, though, is that the players in it are selected with almost half the season still to play. This meant that, among other things, no fewer than 6 of the 22 starting NFC players came from the Minnesota Vikings, despite the fact that, come the end of the season, the Vikes faded faster than a cheap pair of denims in the Hawaii sun. At the same time, there was no place for Eli Manning, Plaxico Burress, David Tyree or most of the rest of the Giants' heroes.
In short, never has a game with 72 points in it (the NFC won 42-30, in case you care) produced such widespread indifference.
The Hall of Fame, however, is almost too far the other way. As I mentioned a few weeks ago, each year at least 15 players are chosen by a variety of means to go forward for election to the Hall. To these 15 are added one, two or three nominations by a 'Seniors Committee', which exists to put forward those long retired players who might otherwise be forgotten. I don't know of any time when that figure hasn't been two. Normally, therefore, there are 17 names up for consideration by an elite group of sportswriters, 44 of them this year.
First of all, there is a ballot to whittle the 15 non-Seniors nominees down to 10. Then the Seniors nominees are added and someone makes a presentation in support of each. Another secret ballot reduces the numbers further to 7, which is the maximum number of inductees each year, for some insane reason. There is then a show of hands for each player, with only those who get 80% of the votes elected.
This year, the vote was a farce. How the selectors arrived at their decisions is incomprehensible to anyone who does not appreciate the monumental ego of some sports journalists. This leads to decisions which sometimes beggar belief. This year, for example, they failed to elect Cris Carter, Bob Kuechenberg and Paul Tagliabue, each one an astonishingly bad decision.
Carter was up for election for the first time. Statistically, only about a sixth of first time nominees get in anyway. But Carter was something special, a receiver of sublime skill and electric speed, who set numerous records during his playing career. Instead, they selected Art Monk, a very good receiver on his 9th attempt to be elected, a fine player in his own right but as close to Carter in terms of talent and ability as Jeffrey Archer is to Geoffrey Chaucer. The reasoning? Basically, the electors had got tired of discussing Monk every year and decided to elect him to put an end to the debate.
'Kooch' was one of the offensive linemen in the Dolphins team which went unbeaten through the 1972 season. He's been trying to get in for about 18 years now. Applying the same logic which applied to Art Monk, he should've been in the Hall in the last century, let alone last year. But he's not in and he may never get in, because two of his fellow Dolphin linemen are in already and the perception is that, whilst he might be good enough, they don't want another one of that team in the Hall. Even allowing for the fact that the '72 Dolphins routinely annoy as many people as they please, with their famous champagne popping celebration when the last unbeaten side in a season is defeated, this is still crazy. If someone is good enough to be a Hall of Famer, they are good enough to be a Hall of Famer. End of story.
It is actually the last of these which really grates with me. Paul Talgliabue wasn't a player, he was the commissioner of the NFL before Roger Goodell. During that time he expanded the number of teams and brought more money into the game than ever before. He may have been lax on one or two things, and maybe the owners did wring more money out of the TV companies than he thought was possible, but history shows that he was a force for good in the game. There have only been three commissioners in the history of the NFL. Goodell won't be eligible to enter the Hall until he retires, but Tagliabue's predecessor, Pete Rozelle is in there despite having achieved no more than Tagliabue did in his time. Having one in and not the other is like electing Bill Shankly but not Matt Busby to a football hall of fame. Yet Tagliabue may never make it (Rozelle took 8 years, but part of that was because he managed to annoy players, fans and journalists alike with his conduct during his final years in charge). Why? Because he didn't like journalists, didn't like giving interviews or passing on information. So most journalists don't like him. Remember who the Hall of Fame electors are? There's your problem. "Forget how much good the guy did for the game, I could never get an interview from him, so he's not going in".
I could write more on this - there's a whole story on the punter Ray Guy which needs to be told one day - but then I'd never get around to the team-by-team review of the season. One bit of sad news to end with is that the Vikings' defensive end Kenechi Udeze has just been diagnosed as suffering form leukaemia. In the week where the three Washington Redskins' players in the Pro Bowl all wore the number 21 in honour of their late colleague Sean Taylor, it is hard to hear of another young talent whose life is in danger.

Someone Precious Is Gone Today
She was so much more than my grandmother....she was a lover of children, a witty woman who didn't lose that sense of humor clear to the end. She was fiercely loyal to family and friends and known to everyone who loved her, as Grammie. She attended the small church in Lyle, Wa., for many years, where she and her husband moved (from Eastern Oregon) when just a few years before he passed away.
The picture at the top was taken just a few months ago with the kitty that resides at the home where she stayed. Her mind was sharp and she was still getting around in a wheelchair when a small stroke hit a couple of weeks ago. God was so merciful that He allowed her to slip into a gentle sleep in the small hours of this morning and she simply went on to be with Him.
I'm grateful for the many years I had with my grandmother....so many more than a lot of adults my age (I'm over 50 myself) ever get to experience. My grown kids knew her well, and she's seen great-grandchildren come into the world, as well. I'm celebrating her life today and cherishing the precious memories of a wonderful woman who loved me.

About Rachel:
I'm a forty-something, a child of the '60's, '70's, '80's, '90's and '00's.
I roller skated through the '70's into the '80's with Farrah Fawcet hair and a three-speed orange Camero.
Born in
I graduated from
But, the truth is, and always will be, I belong to Jesus. At the age of six, I knelt at the altar of a Tulsa Methodist church and gave my life to the One who loves me.
After graduation, hired on at Harris Publishing as a software trainer, determined to see the world. And I did it without a laptop, a cell phone, an IPod or portable DVD player. Those were hard times.
But, I traveled to
I met Tony, my husband, in '87, at church, of all places. We got married in '92. Tony has been a pastor for twenty years. I've worked with him in eighteen of those twenty. Our heart is to see teens and adults passionate, radical and whole hearted for Jesus.
Tony and I don't have any children of our own, lots of kids-in-the-Lord and we love them all. However, we do have a very spoiled dog, and an even more spoiled cat.
I've always wanted to be a writer. My dad used to tell me, "You're a writer." I have letters he wrote me post college, exhorting me to write. In this, I believe he had the heart of God.
In '93, I started an epic WW2 novel with two plots. It was well rejected. After that ordeal, I took a break and put efforts into my job as a software project manager. But, I missed writing and in late ' 99, I took up the craft again.
With a little help from my friends, my first book was published in ' 04, Lambert's Pride, a romance novel. I love writing chick lit and romance. I love writing. What an honor.
And BONUS here's a recipe for Bubba's Buttery Biscuits!
3 cups self-rising flour
10 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces and chilled, plus 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted for brushing the tops
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Place the flour and chilled butter in a medium mixing bowl. Work the butter into the flour with a pastry cutter, a fork, or your fingertips until the butter pieces are a little larger than an English pea, but not larger than a lima bean. If you are using your fingers, work quickly so that the heat of your hands won't melt the butter.
Pour in all of the buttermilk and, using light pressure, fold the mixture a few times with a plastic spatula until it holds together. Do not over mix. In order to make light biscuits, it is important to work the dough as little as possible.
Turn the dough out onto a floured board and knead it quickly and gently 6 to 10 times or until it begins to be almost homogenized. There will be large pieces of butter throughout. Sprinkle a little flour under the dough so that it won't stick to the board and lightly dust the top of the dough so that it won't stick to the board and lightly dust the top of the dough so that it won't stick to the rolling pin. Roll the dough out to about 1/2-inch thickness.
Cut the dough into 2-inch rounds, place on an ungreased baking sheet, and bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes. I like the biscuits to be crispy and brown on the top and bottom, but not dry in the middle. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and brush the tops of the biscuits with the melted butter. Serve right away. (recipe from Louis Osteen)

Tricia Goyers Book Three in Chronicles of the Spanish War Series....Contest!!
A Whisper of Freedom - Contest!
Tricia Goyer has a fun tour for her new book, A Whisper of Freedom. This is the third book in her Chronicles of the Spanish War series. As I've mentioned before, Tricia has become one of my favorite authors. She has a knack for creating such intriguing stories and characters that you forget where you are! She brings Spain to life in a vivid, realistic way in this series. If you like historical novels, this series is a must read, and this is one series that you need to read in order, so be sure to read A Valley of Betrayal and A Shadow of Treason first.
Each person posting a review of the book has been asked to answer several MEME questions (below). Check out the answers others gave on their blogs. The tour schedule and links can be found here.
Here are the MEME questions!
1. List three things you would do with a chest full of gold (assuming you got to keep it!)
Oh my goodness....do I pick totally unselfish things that will show what an amazing person I am, LOL! Or do I pick fun things that are completely self-centered? Hmm....maybe a little of both!
First, I'd get out of debt...I think that is very honoring to the Lord and would put our family in a position to be able to relax, have fun and do some things we've always wanted to do that we've never been able to do. Of course, I'd be giving a minimum of 10% to the Lord, but I'd love to then give an additional 10% to some of my favorite Christian charities.
Now, for the totally fun things! My hubby and I would love to travel. My idea of travel is jumping on a jet and heading to places unknown. He'd like that too, but he'd love to dump some serious money into our sailboat, finish it and hit the high seas. So...maybe a bit of both. Finish the boat, equip it with a super duper satellite system where I can have high speed internet and off-shore phone no matter where we are, so I can write, keep up with my editors, and still have a blast lying on the deck in the sun.
2. List three charities/missions/organizations you support (and why).
Children's International...just one 13 year old girl for now, because we like to spread things around a bit. We've also discovered a wonderful group headed by Ex-congress woman Linda Smith. Her organization helps rescue girls from slavery all over the world. The third is Covenant House, a Christian organization that rescues kids on the streets. We have a heart to help hurting kids and rescue them from abusive, life threatening situations...and each of these groups is also ministering to the kids spiritually, which is the most important thing.
3. List three ways you have volunteered your time/services.
I serve on staff at our small church, ministering to women individually as well as leading our intercessory prayer group. Our family recently volunteered to install a new tile floor in the foyer of our church and I did the grout/finish work.
4. List three things you keep "hidden" when company comes over.
How funny....I can't think of a single thing, LOL!
5. List the last three things you've lost.
Hmm....last week I thought I'd lost my purse, and I did for a short amount of time. I rushed to the bathroom at WalMart, leaving my dear husband to unload the cart. He left the cart in the parking lot and swung thru to pick me up. We headed for the exit and I reached for my purse...but it wasn't there. I panicked, as I knew I hadn't taken it to the restroom....and it HAD been in the cart. He was SURE it wasn't there, but we blasted back to WalMart with me praying the entire way, and found the cart. Empty. My heart dropped and I started imagining having to call every card company and trying to remember what would need to be canceled. I ran into the store praying that some honest person had found and turned it in. They DID! God is SOOOO good! Someone found it in the cart and brought it to the customer service booth, where it was waiting for me.
I lose my keys all the time, LOL! My daughter was giving me a hard time the other day that I can only find the back door key to our house right now, not the front door. She gave me her key that she'd carefully guarded, as I promised to return it to her...NOT. I forgot to copy and return it to her, and now I can't find her copy either! Sigh.
6. List the last three things you've found.LOL! My purse, my sunglasses....but haven't found my key yet!

About the book: Battles heat up…not only those being waged by the soldiers on both sides fighting for Spain, but in the hearts and minds of the men and women who must sacrifice more than their dreams to save the lives of their loved ones.
In this meticulously researched novel, brave and idealistic Sophie, Philip, Jose, and Deion realize their only hope for freedom is escaping Spain's borders.
By continuing the story of this band of volunteers during the Spanish Civil War, A Whisper of Freedom proves that there are whispers of hope and liberty that resonate through even the darkest night.
We Have Our Winners!!!
So....here's the list of gals who posted great ideas and will be getting a book. Please send me your addresses and Kregel will get a book off to each of you.

Win A Book AGAIN!!!
But this contest has a twist....you MUST read the rules below and follow them, or you won't be entered.
I'm giving away THREE books this time, not one, but three. What must you do to win one? Just leave a comment you ask? Nope, Nada...not this time. You must leave a very creative comment along this line---
I'm giving these books away to pick up influencers. In other words, I need you to 'shout it from the roof-tops' if you enjoy the book, after you've read it. Please tell me in the comment section:
Why you want a book
What creative ideas you can offer that will help promote the book, after you've read it? (see a few suggestions below) Give me at least three, and more if you can.
Your email address disguised so the spam bots can't grab it...as in, miralee at gorge dot net
That's it....three simple rules....but all are critical and leaving out any of them will exclude you.
If I get only three comments, you'll all get a book. If I get multiple (as I hope and expect) then I'll pick the ones I feel will help influence the most. If there are a lot of you and I have a hard time deciding, it'll turn into a drawing. I'll keep this contest open for one week and post the winner a week from tomorrow, or May 12th. Thanks!
Now for the example I promised...you might offer to post a review on your blog or website, or drop glowing written reports off at your local bookstore and beg them to carry copies...Be creative, but don't get so crazy that it's not realistic. And above all, I'll be looking for follow through. I'll ask the winners to notify me after they've read the book and let me know what they DID do.

Picture: Prince Michael Jackson, Paris Jackson and Prince Michael Jackson II aka 'Blanket' are seen leaving acting classes in Hollywood Los Angeles, California - 17.05.11
A lawyer representing Michael Jackson's doctor Conrad Murray has asked a judge to sequester jurors at the medic's upcoming trial to make sure they are not influenced by media coverage.
Murray has pleaded not guilty to a charge of involuntary manslaughter amid accusations he administered the dose of anaesthetic that killed the superstar in 2009, and he is due to stand trial in September (11).
His attorney J. Michael Flanagan went to court in Los Angeles on Wednesday (20Jul11) to request that the jurors be isolated when the trial starts so they do not see any press coverage of the case, which is expected to dominate headlines for its duration.
Flanagan told Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor, "I just think there is an overwhelming likelihood of contamination of the court's control of evidence... How many final arguments do we have to face in this case? Are we going to face the one in the courtroom and the one when they go home?"
The judge gave Flanagan permission to file the motion, but hinted it may not be granted as he feels it is unnecessary, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Since no one will ever see the epic show, the next best thing is this...
Watch the trailer for Michael Jackson's This Is It. This Is It was planned to...

Tri Quad Surfboards
Tri-Quad surfboards can either be set up as a thruster (3 fins) or a quad (4 fins). This allows the rider to customize the board's performance to suit the surf conditions. Quads are believed to be faster than a thruster because there is no centre fin creating drag. The additional fin area makes them accelerate quickly, carve a longer turn, and maintain stability in the tube. Thrusters strike the perfect balance between speed, maneuverability and control. This fin set up is extremely versatile and can be used on most boards and in any size waves. For these reasons, the thruster has been the universal fin set up for many decades.

- Corporation (C-Corp)
- Limited Liability Company (LLC)
We would suggest starting an LLC since there are many advantages over a Corporation. Some of these advantages include:
- Pass through taxation will help you avoid the double taxation of business profits.
- Greatly reduced State Regulations and formalities compared to a corporation.
- A previous advantage of a corporation known as Corporate income splitting, is also now available to LLCs. An LLC must elect to be treated as a corporation for tax purposes by the IRS by filing form 8832. This is really only useful when the LLC is making sufficient profit that it can pay its members and still retain a significant chunk of it for reinvestment in the LLC.
Have a professional service form an LLC for you:
Recommended: INCFILE.COM ($49 + State Fees)
To learn more about What is an LLC -- Click Here
Steps to Form Your LLC
Select a State
Think about what State you want to start your LLC. You may already have a location in mind since that is where your customers are. If you primarily intend to conduct business from your own country then the (international-friendly) States to start an LLC include Delaware, Wyoming, or Nevada. The State Offices and Banks of these three States are very familiar in dealing with Non-US Citizens.
- Name your LLC
Choose a Registered Agent
If you are starting an LLC in the US from your home country and will not have a physical address in the US that will be open normal business hours, we suggest you hire a Registered Agent Service. They will receive and forward all official mailings to you, such papers include service of process of legal action, and state filings.
- File the Articles of Organization with the State
- Create an Operating Agreement
Steps after LLC Formation
Obtain an EIN (Employee Identification Number)
Getting an EIN will grant you access to:
- Opening a US bank account
- Accepting US payments
- Paying US Taxes
Register for State Tax
- A Non-US resident is taxed on US source income only
- A US Resident is taxed on worldwide income
- Obtain Business Licenses & Permits
- Hire Employees
- Get Insurance
The Registered Agent needs a Physical Address in the State in which your LLC is formed.
This can be easily overcome by using a Registered Agent Service
- A Registered Agent Service is a business nominated by your company to receive and send official State documents on your behalf.

Have a professional service form an LLC for you:
Recommended: INCFILE.COM ($49 + State Fees)
Getting an EIN (Enables your Company to open a Bank Account or Hire Employees)
An EIN (Employer Identification Number) is the tax identity of your LLC, it is necessary to open a bank account, hire employees, and pay State Taxes. You will also be required to provide your EIN to other companies to receive payments exceeding $600 in a calendar year. Obtaining an EIN from the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) for your Company is easy and, the IRS does not charge you any fee to issue your LLC with an EIN. You can only apply for the EIN after forming the LLC.
- Download the SS-4 Instructions and SS-4 Form
- Read the instructions carefully while filling out the form
- NOTE Line 7b: If you don't have a US Social Security Number, ITIN, or EIN just put "N/A Foreign" on line 7b.
- Fax form to designated number provided on the form, be sure to give the IRS a number to fax your EIN back to.
An ITIN (Individual Tax Identity Number) or US social security number is not necessary to obtain an EIN for your company if the above process is used.
If you wish to use a service to obtain an EIN number for you, Ein Express is an online service that specializes in obtaining the EIN number for people without an SSN or ITIN.
Opening a Bank Account in the USA
An address in the US is required to open a bank account in the US
- This can be overcome by using a mail forwarding or virtual office service
Recommended: Use Earth Class Mail to get an address in one of 19 USA Cities, which can be used to create a US bank account.
An EIN Number is required in order to get a bank account
- See how to get an EIN above.
Here are some banking options to consider - Contact the bank directly for more information on International Banking
- CitiBank - Global Business Banking
- Chase Bank - International Banking
- US Bank - International Payments and Transactions
- Wells Fargo - International Business Services
- HSBC - International Banking
Do I have to be a United States citizen to open a business in the United States?
No, it is not necessary to be a US citizen OR to have a green card to start a business in the US.
Am I allowed to work for the business I have started in the United States if I am not a citizen?
You are only allowed to work for your company in the US if you have the proper work permit (Green Card).
You can however work for your company in your home country.
What type of Business Entities am I allowed to start in the United States if I am not a citizen?
There are two types of business entities you are allowed to start in the US, a Corporation or an LLC. An LLC's benefits outweigh that of a corporation unless you plan on issuing shares of stock. Learn What is an LLC?
An S-Corp requires all shareholders to be US Citizens, so this is not an option for foreign nationals.
Can the company I have started in my home country be the owner of the company I start in the United States?
Yes, as long as you are starting an LLC in the United States. You would nominate your Company to be the Managing Member of your LLC.
Can I create a branch of the company I have already started in my home country?
Yes, but it would not be considered a branch. What you would have to do is form an LLC in the United States and then establish the relationship through internal resolutions and ownership.
One way to do this is to make the Parent Company the Managing Member of the LLC when forming the LLC in the United States.
Does the Legal Address of my company have to be located in the US?
No, your legal address does not need to be in the US. It can be located anywhere in the world. BUT, you must have a Registered Agent with a physical address in the State your business will be started.
Can the company Name and Address act as the Registered Agent?
Yes, your company name and legal address can act as the Registered Agent but there are a few rules you must follow:
- In order for your legal address to act as your Registered Agent Address it must be located in the State in which your LLC was started.
- There must be someone present at normal business hours (9:00am to 5:00pm, Monday to Friday) to accept important documents.
- If this criteria cannot be met we suggest hiring a Registered Agent Service.
This however cannot be switched. Your Registered Agent Address cannot act as your Legal Address.
Does my company have to have an address in the US to open a US bank account?
Yes, in order to obtain a bank account, the business must have a US mailing address.
- The Registered Agent address cannot act as this address
- The address does not need to be in the same state as the LLC was formed
The company does not however need a physical address in the US to open a bank account, you can use a mail forwarding service, or set up a virtual office in the US.
Recommended: Use Earth Class Mail and choose a physical address from 19 cities across the United States (including New York and San Francisco).
Please be cautious of companies claiming they can set up a Bank Account for you. This must be done by you, the business owner, and may require a trip to the States. Unless the company is an accredited financial institution you could be a victim of fraud.

Tess writes,
Can you spray Liquid Fence on a car and not ruin the paint?
As with any product we sell, we always recommend that you apply it to an inconspicuous area first before applying over an entire surface, whether you are treating outdoors or indoors. We are not exactly sure of the answer to your question, but our gut feeling is that you should not apply this to a painted surface mainly because many repellent products do have egg in them and egg typically is not good to have on a painted vehicle.

The family of a man wanted on a Canada-wide arrest warrant for a parole violation in British Columbia has reported him missing.
Phillip Lee Lyons, 37, walked away from a halfway house in Kelowna, B.C., on May 26 and has been unlawfully at large ever since.
The RCMP say Lyons, who was originally from New Brunswick, has not contacted family since before he left the Kelowna halfway house. He was a first-time federal offender when he left the halfway house.
Lyons was reported missing by his family on Oct. 3.
It is unusual for Lyons to avoid contact with his family, even when he knows he is wanted on outstanding arrest warrants, according to the police.
The RCMP said in a statement that Lyons could still be in British Columbia. However, the police say they believe if he returned to New Brunswick, he would be in either Fredericton or Doaktown.
He is described as a Caucasian man, five-feet 10-inches tall and 223 pounds. He also has several tattoos, including tribal symbols on his left shoulder, and skull art on his right shoulder. He has various tattoos on his right forearm.

text: This is a new one for me. I smoked a 4 lb. leg of lamb for the first time. Started with a rub about 30 minutes prior to putting it on the smoker, and smoked it using a combination of mesquite and cherry wood at around 225-245 until the internal temperature reached 135 degrees. Took about 3 hours. Then I wrapped it in foil for another 20 minutes. Came out GREAT!!!

Ronnie Hints in Booster Gold #1Monday, August 20th, 2007
Deprecated: preg_replace(): The /e modifier is deprecated, use preg_replace_callback instead in /home/mandlo/public_html/firestorm/wp-includes/formatting.php on line 74
As those of you who picked up Booster Gold #1 last week know, there were some references to the Ronnie Raymond version of Firestorm in the story. I'm going to list those now, so beware of spoilers if you plan to read the issue yourself (and you should!).
- As Booster travels in Rip Hunter's timesphere, Rip explains that recent events caused wormholes in the time stream, creating anomalies. As they talk, we see a number of scenes in the background including one very prominent image of the Ronnie/Martin Firestorm.
- In Rip Hunter's Time Lab, there is a chalkboard that contains Rip's disjointed notes. The most prominent note says "RONNIE RAYMOND+X = FIRESTORM!" This one really got some attention.
- On the final page of the issue, we see some scenes that "will happen" in future issues, according to Geoff Johns. The second one is marked as "Week 104, Day 1″. That's 52 weeks after the conclusion of 52, which also means the end of Countdown and the start of the 2008 event Final Crisis. For the most part, this is an assembly of heroes from the Giffen Justice League, with other heroes like Aquaman being present in his old 80's blue patterned outfit. Most curious, though, is Firestorm's outfit. It a combination of Ronnie's and Jason's. The electron trails wrap all the way around the costume as they did on Ronnie, but the electrons themselves are white as they are on Jason's costume. The "proton" is the middle is white, like Jason's, but has a corona like Ronnie's. The pants have no yellow in them, which is more like Jason's and less like Ronnie's. But the shoulders are closer to Ronnie's style.
I'll also mention this one for the sake of completeness, but I think it's something else.
- Booster is out with Skeets looking through future newspapers to identify chances to play hero. One of the headlines says "Booster Gold Stops Nuclear Metahuman Explosion". Below that headline is the partially obscured line "es School Chi", which I take to mean "Saves School Children". I've heard the theory that this line might possibly pertain to Ronnie Raymond's "metahuman explosion" but personally I think it's a humorous nod to Marvel's Civil War, which was kicked off by a metahuman explosion killing schoolchildren.
So, as you can see, there's a lot more substance here to consider than the fanboyish wishful thinking we've been hearing for a while. But what does it all mean?
Again, it's not possible that they are meaningless teases due to that last page being a confirmed future event. At a minimum, I'd say, we're in for an appearance of a Firestorm that includes Ronnie Raymond. It could be a team gathered on another world. It could mean that this team and possibly others like it are drawn from other worlds to fight some great evil on New Earth. What's the likelihood, though, that it signals the reintroduction of Ronnie Raymond in DC's main continuity?
I think the odds are good, actually, given the amount of attention drawn to the character by Rip's board. It seems unlikely that they would give the matter such prominence otherwise. But who is the X in RONNIE + X? Jason is the mostly likely candidate. Consider the statements about putting Jason on a team. Consider his status as a Dan Didio creation and an ethnic hero. Consider the new stories that could be told.
Personally, I would enjoy a Ronnie/Jason Firestorm, as hinted at by the costume seen on the last page. To be honest, I really like Martin Stein but I'm not sure that his character has clicked since his return. He was either too angsty, silent or so upbeat that his confidence removed the tension from scenes in which Firestorm was in danger. I like him as a mentor, but perhaps it's time for him to step outside of the costume itself. Let's add that to my list of predictions.
I could be completely wrong - it has certainly happened before. Still, I find the prospect intriguing. I think there could be some great stories there, and it's certainly not a foolish move from a purely commercial perspective. Ultimately, I'd be happy with either a limited appearance or a new Jason/Ronnie status quo. Let's see what happens.

text: Hello all ........ Just moved and am going to go buy a TV today for my new house. Direct TV isn't even hooked up yet and I need to get moving so I can catch football for next weekend. I have a couple questions.....first of all, the layout of my TV room is TERRIBLE....I am thinking about this TV ....http://www.samsung.com/Products/TV/P...PS4253XXAA.asp but it's only 720p. I can't afford the pioneer elite's with the 1080p though. I see westinghouse has a 42 in m price range though. So would I rather go with a (offbrand I guess) westinghouse with the 1080p or the samsung? Also I was considering a projector becuase my TV mounting and placement options are so limited in my large room but am worried about the brightness of the picture during the day. It will have no direct light at any point in time, and it's not the brightes room either... I really appreciate any of your guys help, this room has been driving me nuts and I've been researching for countless hours the last couple of days!!

Welcome to 2017, the year in which your kitchen counter could very well host a fancy Keurig for making coffee, a pricey Juicero for making juice you don't need the Juicero to make , and a new $400 device for making tea . The app-enabled Teforia Leaf claims to brew tea to perfection , as opposed to whatever pedestrian bag-dunking method you're using . Depending on the type of its branded tea you crave, the gadget employs a series of short " microinfusions " and adjusts elements like water temperature and volume to " unlock each tea's true character and depth of flavor," per a description on Williams-Sonoma.com. Gizmodo reviewer Libby Watson, a "literal British person" who drinks tea, reported the complexity of it all gave her an "existential crisis" while making her first cup. The tea, she concluded after questioning everything she ever knew about tea, was "fine." And of course, some Twitter users were quick to chime in, critiquing the gadget as unnecessary and expensive since, you know, making decent tea really isn't that hard. Tea bags are downright barbaric next to @Teforia 's $400 Leaf infuser. pic.twitter.com/bNSC8IAqNO — Digital Trends (@DigitalTrends) June 19, 2017 Juicero: We have the most bullshit internet connected appliance.

The Oilbird's Lightless life
Nature has produced some exceptionally odd and unique animals. One such creature is the Oilbird of northern South America. The Oilbird prefers a diet of wild berries and fruits, especially lipid-rich fruits like palm nuts and avocados (which leads to fatty young and the Oilbird's name). This unusual-looking bird is a leafy reddish-orange color, longer than a crow, with big eyes and a tiny bill protruding from a giant mouth. Oilbirds reside in extensive colonies that roost in large caves. When the sun sets, Oilbirds emerge from their caves, like huge bats, to forage throughout the countryside for food. Thus, Oilbirds spend most of their lives in complete darkness.
The Lightless Life of the Oilbird
Written by Bob Sundstrom
This is BirdNote. [Calls of Oilbirds: http://macaulaylibrary.org/audio/4559]
The Oilbird of South America, whose freakish snarls you are hearing, lives perpetually in the dark. It spends its days in the utter lightlessness of a cave, and its nights flying out in search of food.
So wholly dark-adapted is the Oilbird that - like a bat - it uses reflected sound - echolocation - to find its way in the pitch black of its cave. [Oilbird echolocation clicks and calls]
The reflected sound from these clicks enables Oilbirds to gauge the nature of their surroundings, and figure out where they are.
Once outside, they use night vision that rivals that of owls to fly under the starlit sky. The Oilbird is extraordinary in other respects, too. It is the sole member of a unique family of birds (Steatornithidae). It has no living close relatives. Fossils suggest it diverged from other bird families more than 50 million years ago. A foot and half long with long slender wings and tail. Rich brown in color with large white spots. Its beak is hooked, like a hawk's. But the Oilbird forages entirely on tree fruits, which it finds thanks to its keen sense of smell, plucks, on the wing - and swallows whole.
And it does it all in the dark of night.
For BirdNote, I'm Michael Stein.

Unanswered: DBI: no suitable installation target...
I have Active State Perl 126.96.36.1990 and PPM v3.1 running on my dev machine. The c:\Perl installation directory has a c:\Perl\repo directory and I have the PPM configured to see this local directory, which, of course, I have verified using "repo desc [3]." According to everything that I've been able to gather (i.e. web forums), I should be able to install Perl modules from my local directory and/or using the Active State Repositories.
However, I cannot install any of the packages located in my local repository and consistently get- "Error: no suitable installation target found for package <package name>."
I can install most of the packages in the Active State Repository. However, I am getting the same error (i.e. no suitable installation, etc, etc...) for a few of the packages that I'm trying to install. More specifically, I cannot install DBD-Sybase.
What am I missing?
My guess is that the DBD-Sybase package is not compatible with v5.8.4. Is anyone else using these two together? Why am I unable to install packages from my local repository? I can pick them up in my PPM search (it finds them in my local repository), but informs me that there is no suitable installation...blah, blah, etc... Yet, I could install many of these same packages from the Active State repository (online).
I certainly do appreciate any insights and/or solutions this problem. Thanks.

Can You Put Featherweight Bags In The Dishwasher??
Decorating By peacockplace Updated 28 Apr 2005 , 4:06pm by peacockplace
I was just doing dishes this morning and was wondering. I haven't really thought about it before. Does anyone know?
I have no idea--but I have an old one that I'm willing to experiement with if no one else kows the answer.
I was going to toss it because the end of it has stretched out so much that the coupler leaks. Hopefully dh didn't toss it out already!
That would be AWESOME if they could go in there! I hate washing those things.
I wash mine in the dishwasher all the time. On the top rack and inbetween the glasses so it's sorta held in place. I also boil my bags once a month. Hope this helps
I hang mine from the top rack with plastic clothespins, unless I'm in a hurry and then I just hand wash them!!
I was just doing dishes this morning and was wondering. I haven't really thought about it before. Does anyone know?
I too put mine in the dishwasher and on the top with a glass over it ..
Clean out all of the frosting before you put it in there...
Yea!!! I always run them under really hot water, now after I rinse I'll put them in the dish washer. Happy day!!!!!!!!!


text: Cruise Carnival Splendor fire exacerbated by bridge error, says Coast Guard By Tom Stieghorst / July 15, 2013 Share 1 -- The U.S. Coast Guard issued a final report on the 2010 engine room fire aboard the Carnival Splendor, saying a critical mistake on the bridge delayed response to the blaze, allowing it to burn through electrical cables that disabled the 3,734-passenger ship.In summarizing its 51-page report, the Coast Guard said the ship's Hi-Fog water mist fire-suppression system did not activate until 15 minutes after the fire began because a watchman on the bridge reset the fire alarm panel. The report said this "critical error" allowed the fire to burn long enough to spread to electrical cable runs, which otherwise would likely have escaped major damage.The report also said the failure of the ship's second carbon dioxide-based fire-suppression system and poor execution of the firefighting plan contributed to the ineffectiveness of the crew's efforts.In a statement, Carnival said it cooperated with the investigation and has made improvements since the 2010 incident, based on its own investigation."We look forward to the opportunity to review the U.S. Coast Guard report in detail to fully examine the findings and recommendations," the statement said.Follow Tom Stieghorst on Twitter @tstravelweekly.

With prices going up and space going down, sometimes it feels like your dream kitchen will never be more than a pipedream. That could be about to change thanks to these cupboard kitchens.
According to the Institution of British Architects, in 1920 the average home measured 1,647 square feet. Almost 100 years on and they clock in at just 925 square feet. Of course, the Institution are not measuring like for like—the growth in apartments skews the figures. But one thing is undeniable: we are far more likely to live in a smaller property.
Take the new development by Pocket Living in Vauxhall, a stone's throw from Lambeth Palace—the apartments measure just 409 square feet. As with many developments of their ilk, the living room and kitchen are a single, open-plan room.
Businesses have not been slow to take advantage of the opportunities that shrinking properties present: you can buy countertop dishwashers, beds that fold into walls, micro vacuum cleaners and kitchens in cupboards.
Image via Living in a Shoebox
The premise is simple: your entire kitchen cleverly folds into a giant cupboard, which means no unsightly clutter when you're not cooking. And, because they fold out you get far more storage than you'd expect.
When you open the doors for the first time, be prepared to be surprised; foldaway kitchens are definitely a talking point.
Like with everything in life, the answer is: "how long is a piece of string?" Very basic off-the-peg designs exist that are effectively glorified storage units.
On the other end of the spectrum, we've seen bespoke designs that include microwaves, fridge freezers, solid oak shelving, ovens, washer dryers, granite worktops and dishwashers. They even throw in the kitchen sink.
Don't expect much change from £10,000 for best of breed.
Most manufacturers do not undertake installation. There is probably a good reason for this: fitting large items of furniture that need running water and electricity into existing (sometimes very old) rooms is no mean feat.
The kitchens, whilst not normally flat-pack, do come in sections, which need to be assembled by a competent tradesman. You'll need a plumber and an electrician too.
If you're not confident, you may need to pay a plumber and an electrician (or a highly competent all-round builder) to complete a site visit in advance. Make sure you do this before paying the deposit.
Give yourself a few weeks to get used to your new kitchen—it's a very different cooking experience.
Then throw a dinner party. Your new kitchen is guaranteed to turn heads.

Belarusian company Belaz has unveiled its new dump truck, which it claims to be the biggest in the world.
The Belaz 75710 is bigger than an average house, riding in eight huge tyres, at least twice the height of an average size person.
The payload is an impressive 450 metric tons and the dump truck will be used in open mines on temporary roads.
Power comes from two 2,300bhp 16-cylinder turbocharged diesel engines with a combined power of 4,600bhp. Combined torque is 13,738 lb-feet!
Top speed is 40mph, which is plenty for a truck of that size.
Belaz's chief designer for mining vehicles, Leonid Trukhnov, says the company will be submitting documents to claim a Guinness World Record.Tags: guinness world record, truck

Vivid Chatswood 2015
A few people have asked what Chatswood Vivid is like seeing that I live here so i thought I'd walk you through. The story begins at The Interchange. The Jellyfish Chandeliers and light display definitely make this the prettiest train station I have ever seen.
Look all around, even at your feet. There is a great light story happening as you walk.
There are three levels you can get to, so try viewing from different angles.
If you get hungry, stop by The District on the top level. An upmarket food court serving wine as well as great food.
Although the light displays are wonderful, it's the atmosphere that is vibrant!
Walk through The Mall and you will mix with a bustle of people meeting, mingling and having a great time.
You will meet Norbert, The Nautilus and see The Aquarium on your way to The Concourse.
|The Concourse
Willoughby Council are hosting the event and have plenty of useful information available on their website as well as updates on entertainment and transport. The Vivid Website has more detail and a handy map to keep you on track.
It's definitely worth a visit if you want to do something different on your night out and you didn't want to head all the way into town. Have a great night! #MySydney
