TELESEMINAR: Estate Planning in 2013: Part 2 – A National Perspective
January 9, 2013
12:00 – 1:00 p.m.
1.00 MCLE hours
New Year 2013 marks the third consecutive year in which estate and gift tax laws are in a state of substantial flux. Exemption amounts and rates have varied widely and changed unpredictably in the last several years and New Year 2013 is expected to herald substantial new changes again as Congress alters the historically high exemptions and low rates of 2012. For larger and smaller estates, planning must change to reflect changes to the law which will impact more client estates than before. This program will provide you with a practical guide to major changes in the estate and gift tax law in 2013, planning opportunities (and traps) under the new tax regime, and discuss how the new law impacts existing plans. Part 2 of 2.
- Growing importance of using defined value clauses in an environment of lower exemptions and higher rates
- Strategies for smaller estates under $2 million
- Advanced gifting strategies – GRATs, installment sales to intentionally defective irrevocable trusts, and more
- Role of sophisticated trust planning under the new law
Program Speakers:
Blanche Lark Christerson, Deutsche Bank Private Wealth Management, New York

text: Laser hair removal is one of the most popular non-invasive treatments today for both men and women year after year. It's a treatment that permanently reduces unwanted hair from the legs, arms, chest, armpits and face. It's popular partly due to its convenience factor; people don't have to worry about constantly shaving or waxing regularly.

|Advantages of the metric system: it was based on a decimal system (i.e.: powers of ten) and therefore simplifies calculations; it is used by most other nations of the world, and therefore has commercial and trade advantages. If an American manufacturer with domestic and international customers is to compete, it must absorb the added cost of dealing with two systems of measurement. This lesson tells you how to use it.

The completely new model not only has a strong resemblance to the Mercedes S Class but the Japanese maker has matched the Benz's engine capacity. It now has a 4.3-litre V8, hence the name change.
The original LS400, released a decade ago, invited constant comparisons between the largest Lexus and Mercedes. But not until now has the normally diplomatic German giant accused Toyota's luxury brand of copying its designs.
"People explain to us it is really an honour to have someone copy our cars, but I don't think we see it that way any more," Professor Harald Leschke, the head of design at Mercedes-Benz, told Drive.
"I think it is quite obvious that they admire the design, then try to do it their way. I'm sure in some industries this sort of thing is not legal.
"What surprises us most is that [Lexus] are prepared to do it, in public, and that customers are prepared to buy their copycat cars."
Professor Leschke said the LS430 was Lexus's opportunity to do its own design and head in a different direction "but instead they copy other designs".
"I think it's fair to say all their cars have been influenced by someone else's models," he said. "They don't have a history so they have to copy someone else's."
Chief designer of the Lexus LS430, Makoto Ooshima, told American industry journal Automotive News the car's design was inspired by the Japanese bullet train as the car was tested in the same wind tunnel.
The maker claims the LS430 is the most aerodynamic sedan in the world, with a drag coefficient of 0.25. (An average family sedan is 0.32.)
"I want it to drive as a fast, manoeuvrable car, while the passengers should feel like they are in their living room," Ooshima was quoted as saying in Automotive News's Detroit motor show edition.
The LS430 goes on sale in Europe and America in October and is due in Australian showrooms before the end of the year. Price is yet to be announced.
A senior Lexus executive in Detroit said the current LS400 was designed during a period of cost cutting, or (i)endaka, In Japan - but that era had ended with the LS430.
"This car's role is to elevate Lexus to a truly world-class level," Jim Press, the head of Toyota Motor Sales USA, told (i)Automotive News.
According to Lexus, that means air-cooled seats, automatic rain-sensitive windscreen wipers and parking sensors. These features, however, have long been available in more affordable European cars.
Active suspension and electronic brake pedal assistance, new features on the next model, can already be found in the brochures of current rivals.Lexus Australia senior manager Chris Beuth said the copycat tag was "a bit harsh".
"It's got its own heritage from the GS300. You can see it in the headlights," he said.

Bellator LXXIX took place on November 2, 2012 at Casino Rama in Rama, Ontario. The event was distributed live in prime time by MTV2. Background Bellator 79 hosted the one half of the semi-finals of Bellator's Season Seven Heavyweight Tournament and Featherweight Tournament. Paul Daley was originally scheduled for this event, but was taken off the card due to concerns that he would be stopped at the Canadian border due to incomplete paperwork needed to secure a visa.

text: Gents, I had my car (2007 Audi A6 2.0tdi BRE) scanned using an official VCDS system and in particular the measuring blocks for the fuel injectors and the results were as follows. Group 13 Idle stabalization (Injector Quantity Deviation) -3.01 mg/str cyl 1 2.99 mg/str cyl 2 2.99 mg/str cyl 3 -3.01 mg/str cyl 4 The car went belly up a few weeks ago and was diagnosed by Audi as Diesel leeking into the engine oil via the injector seal. This then took the turbo seals out so I have replaced the injector seals and fitted a new turbo but now the car is running extremely rough at tick over and need to know if these values point to injector trouble.

"Germany of post-World War I was demoralized and disorganized. Adolph Hitler's rhetoric was successful not only because of his personal charisma and his mastery of delivery, but because he spoke at the right time: the German people wanted a way out of its economic morass and its cultural shame, and Hitler provided them both with his strong, nationalistic oratory. Had Germany been doing better economically, Hitler's words would have bounced harmlessly off the air."
As we can see from the above paragraph, Hitler has all four things (speaking, embodying, performing, and using symbols such as logo of nazi.
Another example of leadership in multi-communicative activity is ex-president George W. Bush's on 9/11 after the terrorist attacks. Bush also has rhetoric, embodying, performing, and using symbols. According to the picture that showed in class, he sits between the United States's flag and the president of the United States of America's flag. Everyone knows that is the president of the United States. The photo of his family on the table means that Bush also concerned about situation as he was the one in family. His gestures, shows the confidence to the audience that he can solve this situation together with everyone in country.
Therefore, one leader probably has ability to communicate to people in many ways. I believe that to be a great leader, we should consider about multi-communicative activities.

What is Soft Washing?
Why You Shouldn't Power Wash Your Home…
Soft Washing is the only recommended method of cleaning and restoring all types of surfaces and substrates on the exterior of houses.
It involves the minimal use of Pressure Washing and it avoids the use of Power Washing or High Pressure Water Cleaning entirely.
Power Washing can cause serious damage to the cosmetics and the structural integrity of a home. It can deface brickwork, stucco, render, stone and other masonry. Power Washing a house can easily force water between siding, whereby it can become trapped and lead to a range of problems associated with trapped moisture. Problems that can arise include accelerated growth of such micro-organisms as moss, lichen, black and green algae, mold, mildew and rising damp. These are not unsightly, but can cause havoc on your home and the health of its occupants.

The recent conviction of 3 Google executives in Italy for a video posted on Google which showed the bullying of a disable teenager captured many headlines. No question that the video was in poor taste and Google took the video down within 24 hours of its posting after Google got 2 complaints. The conviction of the Google's global privacy counsel, Peter Fleischer and two other executives raises significant issues. A fourth Google executive was acquitted, and Google plans to appeal these convictions. Does it make sense that Google, or any other ISP (Internet Service Provider), be liable for content posted over which the ISP has no control? The US Communications Decency Act of 1996 protects ISPs from liability since they have no control over content posted. How Google fares with these convictions may have an interesting impact on ISPs around the world.
Google Street View May Breach EU Law
Only to make things more complicated recent reports that the Google's Street View violates EU Data Protection laws since they retain the images for too long. As well it was reported that "Switzerland's data-protection agency in November sued Google for allegedly failing to comply with proposals to make it harder to identify people and cars on Street View." Of course disputes regarding Street View are not new since claims of breach of privacy have been under way since at least 2008 in Japan.
Google has More EU Antitrust Problems
ComScore recently reported that Google has about 79% of the searches in the EU and the EU renewed its investigation about Google anticompetitive behavior. Google claims that Microsoft may be the source of the investigation since Microsoft owns one of the companies that complained. It seems reasonable to assume that the search engine wars will continue, but how the EU ultimately rules may have a far reaching impact.

Debuts, Returns & Injuries: Mixed Bag For SSU In MTN8
Eric Tinkler Has Good And Bad News For SuperSport's MTN8 Semi-Final
Eric Tinkler has good and bad news going into this weekend's crucial MTN8 semi-final against Maritzburg United, with new players available and others not.
Read: Millions - The True Worth Of Mahlambi's Ahly Move
Matsatsantsa needs to score against the Team of Choice after drawing the first leg at home 1-1, with a 0-0 being enough for Fadlu Davids' team to progress on the away goal rule.
Tinkler has received a boost as Azubuike Egwuekwe was given the go-ahead to make his debut after receiving his work permit, while Sifiso Myeni could also debut for the side following his loan move from Bidvest Wits.

Meanwhile, Jeremy Brockie is in line to make a return after the transfer saga that ensued during the recent window and is taking aim at Abram Raselemane's 57-goal club record. He's currently on 49 in two and a half seasons.
However, Thabo Mnyamane – who hasn't played since last month – is still doubtful and won't be there to help SuperSport's attack as they chase goals at Harry Gwala.
The game is due to get underway at 20h15.


text:
The title of this piece sounds like it should be accompanied by the standard "do not try to say this three times fast" warning. In any event, I want to emphasize that what follows is not a "recommendation" but rather an "example" of one unique way to speculate based on a given set of circumstances.
(See also Four Things to Watch for Warning Signs)
A glance at a chart of ticker SLV (the ETF that tracks the price of silver bullion) will likely lead different traders to reach different conclusions. In Figure 1 we see "the bearish case", which suggests that silver has strong resistance overhead and that a decline may be in the offing.Figure 1 – A "bearish" chart for SLV (Courtesy ProfitSource by HUBB)
Figure 2 displays an "alternative bullish case" for ticker SLV. In the top and bottom clips respectively we see that the Weekly and Daily Elliott Wave counts (generated using an objective algorithm, for better or worse) are both lined up to the bullish side. This would suggest that a breakout to the upside and a larger rally is impending.Figure 2 – A "bullish" chart for SLV (Courtesy ProfitSource by HUBB)
So who's right and who's wrong? It beats me? One thing I do know (and which you can see in Figure 3 below) is that the implied volatility for options on ticker SLV is extremely low. For the long-winded technical explanations of implied volatility – all the current low reading really means is that the amount of time premium built into the prices for call and put options on SLV is extremely low, i.e., SLV options are "cheap".Figure 3 – Implied Volatility for SLV options at a 2-year low (Courtesy www.OptionsAnalysis.com)
So when we combine:
1) A market that appears poised to make a meaningful price move (but the direction is a question mark)
2) Cheap options
Then 3) we have a good setup for an option strategy known as a "straddle".
SLV Straddle
A "straddle" simply involved buying a call option and a put option at the same strike price for the same security. In this example we will look at:
*Buying 1 SLV June 17 call option @ $0.61
*Buying 1 SLV June 17 put option @ $0.57
Each 1-lot of this straddle will cost $118 ((0.61 + 0.57) x 100). The particulars appear in Figures 4 and 5 below.Figure 4 – June SLV 17 straddle (Courtesy www.OptionsAnalysis.com)
Figure 5 – June SLV 17 straddle risk curves (Courtesy www.OptionsAnalysis.com)
(See also JayOnTheMarkets.com: Happy 'Holiday Days')
Key things to note:
*If this trade is held until June option expiration on 6/16 and SLV closes that day at exactly $17 a share (and wouldn't that be just my luck?) this trade will lose the entire $118.
*If SLV closes between $15.82 and $18.18 (the breakeven prices) on 6/16 this trade will experience a loss of somewhere between $0 and -$118.
*If SLV is above $18.18 or below $15.82 then the trade will show a profit.
*As you can see by looking at the black line in Figure 4, "time decay" will accelerate in the last 23 days prior to expiration.
*The real hope for this trade is that SLV will make a significant move in either direction sooner than later – i.e., before time decay starts to eat away at the time premium bolt into the option prices – and afford an opportunity to either take a profit (a target might be15% to 20% of the initial cost) or to "adjust" an open profitable trade (see this example) and "let it ride" in hopes of a catching a larger move.
Is this trade a good idea? I am not actually saying that it is. The only thing I can say is that it is one relatively inexpensive way to speculate on a market that could be poised to make a move. Nothing more, nothing less.
As always, time will tell.

text: I was wondering how many of you guys run your business out of you house and if you have ever had any problems doing so. I have been in business for over 6 years now and paying my way through college doing mowing and landscape work. I have been running my business from home which is in a neighborhood where I have a 2 acre lot with my house and a 60x40 garage and store all of my equipment indoors. The dump truck trailer and all pull out at 8 am and back around 6pm daily. No materials are stored here or dumped. only 1 or 2 friends come and help me daily and also park inside when they arive. So its not like we are causing alot of traffic. Aparently one of my neighbors ( i thingk the new one ) is complaing so the township is now bothering me for running a business from home which is not aloud. Any one ever have a problem like this ? I cant realy see whats the big deal because if I rented a shop I would still have to drive my truck to work anyways. and I realy dont want to pay for a shop when I have a 12 car garage 1/2 empty. I dont see a problem what do you guys think? have any ideas on how to get around this ?

My name is Christos and I have been currently hired by a company in Aarhus University starting the 1st of August. For this reason I am looking for a room. Ideally I would like something close to the university/city center. Up until now, I have been living in Aalborg for almost three years, where I finished my master degree in Vision, Graphics and Interactive systems and I also did the last year of my B.Sc degree as an Erasmsus student.
Other than that, I am a non-smoker, no pets and a very quiet and tidy person that does not create trouble. Additionaly I am also social and nice to talk to. Hope to hear from you soon.

News & Policy Update on Gender Violence in Kenya
CHMP Senior Fellow Nancy Cabelus, DNP, MSN, RN, an international forensic nurse consultant addressing sexual violence in conflict zones in central and east Africa has reported on gender violence in Kenya here on HealthCetera. You can read her previous posts here.
A major victory in the global effort to stop gender violence was reported in the May 29 edition of The Globe and Mail "Sexual-assault complainants in Kenya win legal victory against unresponsive police" .
After the police failed to act on the rape cases reported by 100s of Kenyan girls in the town of Meru they decided to organize to stop this. The girls were all well below the age of 18, some as young as 3, who have been given medical care and shelter at a rescue centre in Meru after they were raped by fathers, grandfathers, neighbours and others. With the help of local activists and a human rights organization they filed charges against the police for their blatantly ignoring them.
Their efforts prevailed in the courts ruling that the police had created a "climate of impunity," and because of this impunity, "the perpetrators know they can commit crimes against innocent children without fear of being apprehended and prosecuted," the court said.
This makes the police "directly responsible" for the physical and psychological damage suffered by the rape victims, the court ruled.
If the police now fail to obey the court judgment, they could face prison sentences or fines for contempt of court.
The ruling could have a major affect across Africa, where the same legal weapons could be used to ensure that rapists are prosecuted."

He has hosted baby tigers in his house, darted baboons with a blowpipe and lived 30 years among the Bedouin in the oil-rich Middle East. But it is his work pushing the boundaries of the genetic and scientific study of camels that keeps Dr Alex Tinson energised, reports Tracey Porter
Alex Tinson is living proof that castration does not always spell an end to the crown jewels.
In the late 1980s, Dr Tinson was a young vet working in private practice in the northern NSW town of Tweed Heads when he received a phone call that would alter his life. Drastically.
At the end of the line was Paddy McHugh, Australia's best-known "camel fanatic", who sought Dr Tinson's help removing the testicles of six of his flock. It was an exercise that would spark not only a life-long friendship but a passion for the long-necked ungulate mammal that just a short time later would see the Sydney-born vet—who had yet to stamp his passport —shift lock, stock and barrel to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to ply his trade caring for the racing camel stock of the Gulf Royal Family.
Since treading foot on Arabian soil nearly three decades ago to take on the role of chief vet for the racing camels of the President of the UAE and Ruler of Abu Dhabi, His Royal Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed, Dr Tinson and his team have selectively bred hundreds of camels in an attempt to cement the Sheikh's place at the top of the camel-racing league table.
In addition, his pioneering work at the camel research centre in Al-Ain has claimed five 'world-firsts' in camel breeding: the first birth of an embryo transfer calf; the first calves from frozen embryos; the first identical twin camel calves; the first pre-sexed embryo calves; and the first reported frozen calf using frozen semen and artificial insemination.
"I am home in the company of camels," he says. "In times of personal grief, I have retreated to the world of camels and found comfort there. Because of camels, I have gone from rags to riches, then to rags and finally back to riches again."
Dull moments are few and far between for Dr Tinson, the Ferrari-driving camel king whose legend has piqued the interests of Hollywood execs and was fodder for a popular cartoon strip conceived and illustrated by the man himself.
Dr Tinson recently documented his first 30 years in the UAE with an autobiography,The Desert Vet, but jokes "the best stories were the ones that were left out".
While his book details accounts of navigating his way outside the rules by throwing an eight-month-old lion into the back of his car to take it across town for an X-ray, hosting a sick baby tiger at his home or wrestling a tranquilliser dart off an adult male chimp, it also details the social and political divides he was forced to cross as one of the few Westerners to have truly immersed themselves in Middle Eastern culture.
In addition, it describes his financial ups and downs as a result of poor investments, and his subsequent return to Australia following the decision to temporarily close down the training centre.
While Dr Tinson admits he is now a "full-blown camel tragic", his obsession with exotic creatures began many years earlier when, inspired by his microbiologist mother and industrial chemist father, he began building a menagerie of goannas, lizards and snakes.
With 20 veterinarians already in the Tinson line, he decided he would rather become a zoo vet than the domestic variety. An opportunity to work with big animals came shortly after his graduation from the University of Melbourne.
"I am home in the company of camels. In times of personal grief I have retreated to the world of camels and found comfort there."—Dr Alex Tinson, Director of Laboratories, Department of President's Affairs, UAE
He scored a part-time job at the now defunct Bacchus Marsh Lion Safari Park, where visitors were encouraged to drive through large open enclosures and experience the animals close up from the safety of their cars.
But after 18 months, and with a wife and young family in tow, he needed greater stability in his professional life. So he followed the well-trodden path north to establish his own practice.
In 1988, McHugh called and proposed that Dr Tinson become the official vet for the Great Australian Race in which 69 camels and riders cover a distance of more than 3300 kilometres over three months—from Uluru to the Gold Coast.
When a personal tragedy drove Dr Tinson to slowly favour spending more time with McHugh on his farm than in his own practice, he began developing his own connection with the mammals.
"Having little or no scientific education in camels, I was coming to understand what made them such fantastic creatures. They were utterly indestructible—capable of surviving the extremes of life in the Australian desert without breaking down [and] they hardly ever suffered illnesses like other animals."
Midway through the camel race, Dr Tinson was approached by horse trainer Heath Harris. Harris was in the employ of the Abu Dhabi ruling family to improve their racehorse stock and announced he was now on the hunt for someone to do the same for their camels.
Lured by the thought of a substantial tax-free salary, free accommodation, bonuses and free school fees, and still reeling from the loss of his baby daughter, Dr Tinson leased out his practice to another vet and headed over on a three-month probation period.
Placed in charge of 3,000 camels spread across 15 camps, he soon learnt of the role camels play in the power games of the region. Ancient tribal conflicts are now enacted via camel racing in modern-day UAE, where clan supremacy is determined by the speed of the rulers' stock. At the time, the then crown prince Sheikh Khalifa's camels ranked second to last out of the seven monarchies.
"His Highness wanted no less than the best veterinary and training facility for camels in the world. He wanted to revolutionise camel racing in the Gulf and he was happy to back the project, whatever the cost," recalls Dr Tinson.
He says that almost from day one, he and his team had to monitor the health of Sheikh Khalifa's animals closely. To assess the impact of exercise on the blood and the heart, Dr Tinson's team applied principles they knew worked on racehorses—using stopwatches to measure time as well as building specialised treadmills for the 400kg mammals.
"[His Highness] wanted to revolutionise camel racing in the gulf and he was happy to back the project, whatever the cost."—Dr Alex Tinson, Director of Laboratories, Department of President Affairs's, UAE
Once the research centre was up and running, the decision was made to attempt to pioneer reproductive technology and breed from the gene pool of the Sheikh's fastest camels. The first camel baby to be born using this technique arrived 20 years ago. She was named Sumha's Girl, and the value of the breakthrough at the time meant the super camel was worth $1 million at birth.
On the strength of this success, Sheikh Khalifa ordered that a further $10 million be spent on establishing a special centre for researching reproductive physiology and breeding superior racing camels.
It was to prove the home of many significant scientific breakthroughs by Dr Tinson and his team. In the process, they have improved the speed of the camel from an average of 30km/h to an average of 43km/h.
Yet despite this, Dr Tinson says they can go faster still— without the aid of performance-enhancing chemicals.
"The tracks have improved, genetics and breeding have improved, and nutrition and vitamin supplements have improved. Removing child jockeys and replacing them with the 2kg Makita-drill type robotic jockey [has also helped]. The camels just run better with a robot than they do with a child jockey.
"The ridiculous thing is we keep breaking records… the times just keep improving. They're still a long way behind a horse which averages around 60km/h but that's over 2km max, whereas I've seen camels hit over 50km/h over the last half a kilometre of an 8k race, which I find quite extraordinary."
Dr Tinson, who remains the director of laboratories for the president and oversees a team of around 60 scientists and vets, believes the next frontier in camel reproductive medicine will be producing superior milking camels.
There's a lot of interest in camel milk with many touting it as a wonder health food owing largely to its antibody structure.
"At the moment we're just selecting superior milkers. One or two of them are producing up to 27L a day, which is pretty amazing for a camel. Because of the long gestation period of the camel, they only have a baby normally every two years, so if we can get 10 embryos and six pregnancies from a superior milking camel—that's 12 years of breeding in one go. Our ultimate aim is to be able to sex semen and then sperm-inject female semen into superior breeders. You know then you're only going to get females and that's what you want—females for milking."
However, Dr Tinson says this may yet be some time off owing to the thick composition of camel sperm which makes it difficult to separate. Work is now being done on ways they can liquefy it to aid this process.
Pushing the boundaries is what drives Dr Tinson and what will continue to ensure the ongoing success of his Arab operations.
"Some of my vet friends have now retired, but I don't want to. It's not about money; it's just that I enjoy what I'm doing. Besides, now I am utterly comfortable in what was once a totally alien environment."

If you're having a baby on your own, you're not alone. More than 60 percent of babies born in the U.S. each year are born to unmarried mothers, who are facing life as single parents. Having a baby on your own doesn't have to be the end of the world. In fact, it could be the start of an amazing new adventure.
Choose your Cheer Squad
You may not have the father of your child holding your hand throughout labor and delivery, but you can find someone else to take his place. Identify a trusted friend or close family member who can be by your side throughout this life-changing event. You may end up with different people for different roles. For example, you may choose someone to attend antenatal and birthing classes with you, another to act as your labor coach and someone else to assist with the practical aspects of preparing for the new arrival, such as assembling the crib and decorating the nursery.
Make Time for R&R;
Life with a newborn baby is overwhelming at the best of times. Without a partner with whom to share the load, you're on call at all times of the day and night. However, it's vital that you make time for yourself between all the feedings and diaper changes to catch up on some precious sleep and recharge your batteries. Surround yourself with a solid support network of friends and family members who can babysit to relieve some of the pressure. Whether you take a nap, go for a walk or catch up with a friend over coffee, time away from your baby will be good for both of you. It will help reduce the severity of the "baby blues," says the American Pregnancy Association. It also will give your baby a chance to bond with other people.
Seek Support
You can't rely on family and friends to be there for you all the time, but you can use pregnancy and parenting websites to connect with other single moms. Sometimes the best person to turn to for support is someone who's been exactly where you are now, and you can guarantee that you won't be the only parent awake and worrying at 4 am. Another good source of support is a local support group for single parents, suggests Heidt Murkoff, author of "What to Expect When You're Expecting." Look online and in your local newspaper for details about groups in your area.
Practice Positive Parenting
Life as a single mother will be easier if you adopt a positive attitude. You'll always have moments of worry and self-doubt, but try to replace any negative thoughts with positive ones. Remind yourself of the amazing gift you have been given, and focus on being the best parent you can be. Meditation, pre- and antenatal yoga or counseling may help to relieve some of the anxiety and stress of going it alone.

The Black Stars will be engaged on Saturday by the Amavubi's in the final hurdle of the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.
The Black Stars have already booked a place in the AFCON finals to be staged in Gabon in 2017, while Rwanda also failed to secure qualification, but both teams will play this game for pride.
Ghana have had an ill-preparation after the Sports Minister made it clear there was no money to foot the airfares of the foreign-based players for the tie- the players volunteered to buy the tickets to make it possible for them to arrive in the country for the encounter.
As a result of the challenges, the playing body went through before arriving, the morale in camp is low, but Coach Avram Grant believes his players will come good and put up a sensational display against Rwanda.
Asamoah Gyan, the skipper of the team has ruled himself out of the game, due to the torrid time he had to go through before sealing his loan move to Al Ahli of UAE, whereas Andrea Ayew has been sidelined by injury.
Agyemang Badu will captain the team in the absence of the two. It is likely some of the five local based players, who were handed a call-up into the Black Stars would earn their first cap for Ghana.
Most of the players that were invited to the camp of the Amavubi's for the tie are domestic based ones
Head to head
Ghana have played against Rwanda on three occasions. The Black Stars have won twice and lost one.
The four times champions of Africa defeated the Amavubi's 0-1 in the first leg in front of their home fans.

Caring for your coin collection is just as important (if not more so) than choosing which coins to make part of your collection in the first place. If you want to retain the value of your rare coins, you need to know how to properly clean, protect, display, and handle your coin collection. It doesn't matter whether you collect rare U.S. coins or ancient gold doubloons, the following tips will help you keep your coin collection in top-notch condition.
Keep Your Hands Off
When the urge strikes to take out your coins and show them off to friends or family, never touch any of coins with your bare hands. Oils from your hands can ruin a coin's surface over time, which can significantly reduce the value of your entire coin collection. Latex gloves will help keep dirt and oil off of the coins while handling them. If you ever must handle coins without gloves, make sure to thoroughly wash and dry your hands before doing so.
Avoid the Urge to Clean
Depending on the condition of the coins when you bought them and how well you store them, they may accumulate some dust and grime. Although you probably want to scrub your coins until they shine like they were new, avoid cleaning or altering your coins in any way until they have been evaluated by a professional coin appraiser. Improper cleaning can damage the coins, and some coins are even more valuable discolored than they are clean.
Store Your Coins Properly
If you want to learn how much your coin collection is worth, visit Coins of the Realm in Gaithersburg, MD. And if you want to add to your collection, you can find a large selection of U.S. and worldwide coins, proof sets, tokens, medals, and more. Visit our website to learn more about our coin services, or call us today at (301) 340-1640.

While enjoying an early morning cup of tea together, she picked up the urgent sound of tree squirrel and francolin alarm calls. Hastily throwing the bits and pieces of our tea back into the basket she had me racing down the road…..just in time to catch this gorgeous leopard (Panthera Pardus) slipping off into the bush.

After a more than decade ban on pit bulls and pit bull mixes in the city of Florissant, the city council voted on Monday night to end the ban.
Residents and advocates have been battling for weeks on the ban.
In February, city leaders held a first reading of the bill and dozens of people showed up to listen share their feelings.
Pit bulls were banned in the city in 2005.

"You're doing it wrong."
Battler froze and his hand let go of the wooden spoon he was using to stir the melting chocolate. Beatrice was sitting across from him, one elbow propped on the table and face resting in her cupped palm, while her other hand travelled from time to time to the table to pick a chunk of chocolate and bring it to her mouth.
She'd been watching Battler closely ever since she'd claimed that her arms were just about to fall off from the fatigue, leaving the other to do all the work. And perhaps Battler would have eventually gotten over this, motivated by his decision to humor the witch for a while (even though she didn't deserve it at all), if Beatrice hadn't been spouting irritating remarks all the while.
"What," he started, trying to keep all the anger away from his voice, "what is it now?"
Beatrice tilted her head and blinked, as if trying to figure out what was wrong with him.
"The recipe says that if you stir only the chocolate in the middle, it won't melt properly," she explained with a grin and the tone of an expert picking on a beginner. "If this batch turns out to be another failure, it will be your fault, Ba~ttler~"
"I... I can't believe this—!" Battler whispered. "If this batch turns out to be another failure," he said, raising his voice, "it will be only because you're eating all the chocolate and there's not enough left!"
Beatrice jumped to her feet. "T-That's not true! I just... I've only eaten a few of the smallest chunks," she pouted, averting her gaze from Battler. And maybe he even found her a little bit cute (just a little bit, mind you), seeing her like that. Except that this was Beatrice, and Battler couldn't allow himself to be fooled by the enemy like this.
"Liar!" he exclaimed with an accusing tone, walking around the table to stand directly in front of her, "Half of the chocolate is gone—you're going to get fat, you know,"
"I'm not—"
"Especially here," Battler said with a grin and pinched Beatrice's stomach, "and here," he added, this time pinching her hips.
Seeing Beatrice's face reddening from the anger and outrage made Battler laugh. "You should be careful, Beato, or it will get so bad that we won't be able to tell the difference between your cowtits and the rest of you anymore—Huh?" Battler lowered his head to have a better look at the witch's face, stunned by her unusual lack of response, but her eyes were hidden by her hair for the most part. He found himself wondering for the second time that day about the witch's strange behavior. "Beato...?"
But Beatrice didn't answer, and it was only then that Battler noticed how his hands were still on her hips and how close their bodies were. For some reason, his mouth felt suddenly dry. The whole situation felt strange, and Battler couldn't decide whether he liked it or not.
"Here," he said, reaching out to touch Beatrice's cheek. "You've got chocolate crumbs all over your face," he explained, trying to ignore how wide her eyes had become as his fingers brushed clumsily against her skin. "Honestly, you're just like a squirrel when you eat--a ravenous one, too. You... should learn to be more graceful, or nobody will ever want to marry you, you know?"
There were no more crumbs on her cheek, when Battler's hand had stopped moving to cup it gently. It was weird, and probably stupid, but for a few moments, he couldn't convince himself to take a step back and break that contact: the only image he could associate - right now - to the name 'Beatrice' was that of the young woman he had seen less than a couple hours before, trying to smile proudly even as tears ran down her cheeks.
Battler opened his mouth to say something, but he immediately forgot what he wanted to say when something - perhaps one of the tools they'd been using to make the chocolate - fell to the floor and broke the strange mood with a metallic noise. It felt disappointing, like waking too suddenly from a good dream to be able remember even its tiniest figment.
Beatrice laughed, and it was so loud that Battler almost cringed.
"I will make this chocolate on my own," she declared, "and it will be the best chocolate you have ever eaten!" Another cackle. "Nobody will ever want to marry me? Hah! I am the great Golden Witch, and as such I can do anything: if I wish for it, I can become the perfect wife! I'll show you with the chocolate I'm about to make!"
Battler could only stare, frozen, as the other laughed again, not quite sure of what to think or say. But deep down, seeing Beatrice being her usual self was somewhat of a relief. Battler's lips stretched into a small smile, and grabbed a pink, frilly apron that someone (could it have been Ronove?) had put on one of the small hangers protruding from the wall. Approaching the witch from behind, he raised his arms and let the piece of cloth slide in place against her body.
Beatrice's laughter died right on the spot. "W-What's with this thing?!"
"If you're going to behave like a good wife, the first thing you should be careful about is your looks," he replied quietly, tying the ribbon so that the apron would stay in place.
"D-Don't get strange ideas! This is merely another way to show you what I'm capable of—only fools believe in things like marriage and—"
"Yeah, yeah." Battler sighed. "But I guess you care too much about your appearance to want to look like a slob."
Beatrice chuckled and twirled to face Battler, reminding him of a child for a brief moment.
"Or maybe," she started with a mischievous grin curving her mouth, "it's just that you want me to look good as I present you my perfect, handmade chocolate?" Beatrice's smile grew with satisfaction, as if she'd just unraveled one of the biggest secrets of the universe. "I know I'm your type after all~ And you men always have these weird fantasies about coming home to your wives in frilly aprons..."
Whatever Beatrice said after that, went completely unnoticed. For once, Battler was sure that he hadn't meant it like that—actually, he wasn't even sure if Beatrice had meant it like that either, but the more he tried to drive the thought away (and he had been trying really hard - honestly), the more the image of himself getting home from work to be welcomed by a Beatrice clad in nothing but a pink, frilly apron became vivid in his mind. Battler had to ask himself what was wrong with him all of sudden.
He only understood how low he'd sunk when he felt the soft noise of something liquid falling onto the floor in thick drops: there was blood dripping from his nose, and Battler gasped, immediately slapping a hand on the lower part of his face to hide what was going on.
"What's wrong?" Beatrice asked, frowning.
"...Nothing." If she knew 'what was wrong', Battler would never hear the end of it.
"And why are you covering your mouth and your nose like that?"
"N-Nothing! I said it's nothing! I just... I feel a bit sick, so I think I'll go lye down on the couch for a while, okay?"
Beatrice blinked, and for a moment thought about retorting that Battler had promised to spend some time with her, but, she pondered, showing him what a perfect wife she could make was more important. And, anyway, she could always make him pay later.
"Okay then. I will wake you when the chocolate is ready, uhm," she paused, a bit unsure about what to say next. "I will pour all of my feelings in this chocolate, Ba~ttle~r~!"
Even though one of the first things that Battler had learnt in their endless game was that that tone of voice - deceptively sweet and totally different from Beatrice's true persona - meant that something bad was about to happen, that day, it melted into the fantasy filling Battler's head, making it more realistic and the whole situation much, much worse.
"I'll count on it then!" he shouted over his shoulder, rushing out of the kitchen. "N-Now sorry, but I really need to go!" ...And find a bathroom, he thought.
Beatrice stared at the heart-shaped pieces of chocolate resting on the table with a frown. The shape of some was rough to say the least, while others where outright unrecognizable as hearts, and Beatrice, even as vain and stubborn as she was, couldn't hide from herself that this was not a simple failure or mistake—this was ridiculous: she could already hear Battler say something like 'I didn't think you could mess up the shape when you're using molds'. Because he was rude like that.
She had even tried to decorate each heart with white chocolate, but now, looking at the result, she could tell it hadn't been a brilliant idea: the crooked letters and senseless scribbles were only contributing to the messy appearance. At this point, her only hope was that the chocolate would at least taste good: it was the only possibility left to show Battler what she was capable of, Beatrice reminded herself, and decided that, maybe, trying it herself would be a good idea—if the chocolate truly tasted as awful as it looked, the wisest thing to do would be to get rid of it before Battler could notice and—
And what?, Beatrice thought, looking outside, where the sky was already turning black. This really was her last chance: even if she decided to throw it away, she didn't have enough time to prepare more chocolate; the day was ending, and Beatrice was sure that she wouldn't be granted a third Valentine's day this year. With a frustrated sigh, she proceeded to wrap the chocolates in a lacy handerchief, and made her way to the living room.
Indeed, she found Battler sprawled over the couch, fast asleep, with his face buried somewhere in one of the armrests. Disappointed, she cleared her throat expecting him to jump into a sitting position and give her his unadulterated attention. Which didn't happen.
Puffing out her cheeks in irritation, Beatrice stomped her way to him, doing her best to make as much noise as possible, but Battler didn't wake, and he kept sleeping even when she plopped down heavily on the couch, her lower back brushing against his stomach. Another glance at his face, though, reminded her that Battler was probably still feeling sick; Beatrice looked at the small, lacy bundle resting on her lap, and wondered if eating her (probably horrible) chocolate could have made Battler's condition worse. She considered testing it herself again, but then, the thought of the other rolling on the floor with stomach pains wasn't too bad either: there was, Beatrice pondered as her cheeks flushed slightly, something definitely endearing about Battler's pained face. And she would have probably gotten lost in her own little fantasies, if the feeling of blood trickling from her nose hadn't brought her back after no more than a bunch of seconds.
"Oh, right. This stupid chocolate," she remembered biting her lip. A voice in the back of her mind (which sounded suspiciously like Virgilia's) reminded her that, actually, Valentine's day wasn't really that unimportant to her. The way in which she'd cried and complained about Battler being cold to her had been awfully undignified and embarrassing. Only an idiot would put herself in the same humiliating situation again.
Sighing, she unwrapped the handerchief and extracted a chocolate heart from it; after having fixed it for a few seconds, Beatrice finally bit into the chocolate.
Only to find that it was terribly bitter.
I've had enough of this, Beatrice thought. She was frustrated, and angry. Nothing angered her like being defied, and the fact that she was just about to be ridiculed because of a piece of chocolate with not enough sugar irritated her to no hand. The witch could feel her eyes sting for the umpteenth time that day, but decided that she wouldn't cry, and tightened her hold around the chocolate that was still in her hand.
"What are you doing?"
Beatrice blinked. Battler was awake, and he was staring at her. It was too late to hide the chocolate.
"I—" Insult him, she thought, say something mean and he will get angry, and it will be fine again. "I—"
"Wow! Is that chocolate?" Battler interrupted her, pointing at the pieces that were starting to melt into her hand. Without waiting for a reply of any kind, he simply grabbed Beatrice's wrist and opened her hand. It was without the slightest trace of hesitation that he put a particularly large chunk of chocolate in his mouth.
Beatrice watched with her eyes wide open, bracing herself for the other's reaction. They could go back to their usual bickering and it would be fine—and maybe she could even trick Battler into wearing that collar again if—
"Hey, this is actually good."
"I said, I like your chocolate," Battler shrugged. "Maybe you could really become a good wife, if you worked harder."
"I—Of course I can!" Beatrice answered with a grin. "The Endless Witch can do anything!"
"Ah, and," the other started slowly, "were you planning to eat it all on your own?" he asked, and Beatrice felt his fingers shift around her wrist as he spoke, noticing that he hadn't let go of it yet. "And here I thought this chocolate was meant for me. I was right, you must be some kind of voracious squirrel," Battler added laughing, "just, don't eat me too, okay?"
It was strange, and perhaps a bit stupid, but hearing Battler's compliments had almost erased the notion of her failure from her mind. Not to mention that hearing Battler praising her felt incredibly satisfying per se.
"Here," she said, jamming a full heart of chocolate into his mouth, "have more."
Battler looked like he was just about to choke for a couple moments, but started to breathe again when Beatrice helped him, holding the chocolate in excess against his lips until he could take another bite.
Battler, on the other hand, found himself staring alternatively at the hand that was feeding him and the apron that the witch was still wearing. Cowtits - he could still see them, regardless of the apron and, yes, his brain had decided that it was time for another trip to his alternate, imaginary life. He would feel guilty tomorrow: this was even enough to make him forget the horrible taste in his mouth.
After a very short while, he became so lost in his own little world, that it took him several seconds to realize that he'd eaten all of the chocolate. The first thing he noticed was that his eyes were still fixed on Beatrice's breasts; the second was that the tips of her fingers were still pressed against his mouth and the third... Well.
Battler straightened his back and crossed his legs as quickly as he could.
Beatrice was watching him with a slightly perplexed expression, and Battler was far too preoccupied with his current state to know that she was doubting the sincerity of his statement, rather than the strangeness of his actions.
Beatrice continued to stare and Battler swallowed, unable to avert his own gaze: he knew that doing so would make his behavior only more suspicious. He tried to remember the fear he'd tasted that one time when he was five and his family was spending the night on Rokkenjima: he had been walking around blindly in the dark hallways, desperate to reach the bathroom, but something must have gone wrong, and Battler had - unknowingly - found himself in front of his grandfather's chambers. He had then spent the rest of the night trembling in his bed, unable to fall asleep again.
What the witch did after this brief (and pretty uncomfortable) silence, however, was enough to nullify all his efforts.
Beatrice moved next to him, her hand accidentally brushing against his thigh. She was staring at him with a smug expression.
"W-What?" was all Battler managed to stutter.
Beatrice's grin got wider to the point that Battler almost believed that her face would split in half.
"You've got chocolate on your face."
A pause.
Beatrice moved even closer and their knees bumped against each other; she had successfully trapped Battler between herself and the couch.
"Really," she repeated; her eyes were two laughing half-moons. "You shouldn't scold me for being a messy eater when you're no better, Battler~"
And Battler knew that when things got like this, trying to stop her would be utterly useless.
"H-Hey, it was you who fed—"
Beatrice, who was now kneeling on the couch, kissed the corner of his mouth. Her lips were cool, but the warmth emanating from her body was almost unbearable. Battler's hands moved on their own to curl around her hips, and the witch pressed closer.
"Don't get too friendly, now, Beato—"
And then he felt her tongue licking the skin right under his chin. Battler stiffened but didn't let go. It was Beatrice who broke the contact and slid against him, curling against his side like an oversized cat.
"It was just payback for earlier," she explained laughing. "Now, don't forget about my present next month~"
Battler swallowed again when she put her head against his shoulder.
"And just what are you doing now?!"
"I'm tired," was the simple reply. "Making chocolate for you required a lot of energies. You should be grateful, you know."
"Yeah, sure. Except that I did most of the tempering," Battler replied, slightly annoyed. "Actually, I think my help today could already be considered as a present."
"Don't you even think about it," Beatrice hissed, pinching his thigh. "You made a promise, and angering a powerful witch such as myself is not—"
"Okay, okay, I get it." Looking down on her, Battler could see the cute point of her small nose peeking beneath the golden fringe of hair, and, lower, the ample curve of her chest and then her lap. And unless it was just the gown making them look bigger, Beato's thighs must have been... delicious to say the least.
"Get your mind out of the gutter, Ushiromiya Battler~"
"W-What are you talking about." By then, Battler knew he was as red as a lobster, and sincerely hoped the other wouldn't feel the sudden urge to look at his face.
"I know what you were thinking." Beatrice yawned; from her voice, it was clear that she was sleepy. For some reason, this helped Battler calm down a little.
"You're lying, you can't read my mind."
"You're... forgetting that I'm a witch."
"Doesn't matter. You still can't."
"But," a yawn, "you men are always so predictable..."
"Hey, are you asleep?"
"Hnnn... no..."
Sighing, Battler pulled her closer.
"Do you want me to get a blanket...?"
"N... No... Just stay here."
"And, don't molest me while I'm asleep."
"Hnnn... don't get angry, idiot," Beatrice murmured, snuggling even closer, to the point that one of her bent knees was almost resting on the other's lap. "If... you buy me a nice present next month, maybe I'll wear this apron again."
"Oh, that would be n--Wait a moment. You can't read my mind." No response. "You can't, right?! Beato!"
But no matter how many times Ushiromiya Battler called her name, the Golden witch wouldn't answer. She was too busy dreaming of redhead furniture wearing nothing but a collar and obeying her every order.
They woke up together the next morning, curled under the blanket that Virgilia had draped over them not too long after they'd fallen asleep.

Newbie question: Using other writers...
- Join Date

I'm just starting out. Have my website up and currently working on content. New to this whole blogging thing also. Was just taking a break from my writing, and realized this process would be a whole lot quicker, easier, and I'd be able to attract a lot more people if I have others contributing. And I'm pretty sure I can easily do that.
Is there any reason I might NOT want to do that, and are there any legal, ethical things I need to take into consideration? What I was planning to do was PM some of the more prolific writers on a forum a frequent, and just ask them if they'd like to contribute any articles related to my topic. I know more than one person who enjoys writing just for the sake of writing.
Also, is there a blogging 101 resource I may be able to go to learn the basics about this? I'm wondering if my question above is what I'm supposed to be doing in the first place? And if this is beyond being a stupid question. Give it to me straight. I can handle it.
Thoughts, please... and thanks in advance.

After having now lived in Dallas for almost a year, I thought it was about time I provide a little Dallas Restaurant Guide, for our friends when they visit!
Hello Everyone!
I know. I KNOW!! Where the hell have I been, right???
MY Beginner's Guide for FOOD Shopping
Hey there! I've noticed a lot of new followers lately, so welcome! I'm glad you're here. I started blogging in 2012, to document my journey of living abroad. Despite occasional attempts to focus on specific subject matters over the years, I always come back to the personal blog format: I write about myself and the stuff I think is worth sharing. I thought it would be fun to reflect on this crazy journey by re-posting some of my favorite posts over the years. I hope you enjoy.
Of all the emails I receive from readers, the number one question I always get is where to buy food. I promise, there's food on the Island! You just have to know where to look.

Let's talk FOOD!
A Look Inside Hong Kong's Governor's House
Home to 25 British Governors, 4 Japanese Governors and 3 Chinese Chief Executives, the Hong Kong Governor's House has certainly seen its far share of change. Built in 1855, under British rule, the original structure was influenced by the Colonial Renaissance movement, which was sweeping across Europe at the time. In the early 1940's, under Japanese rule, the home went through an extensive remodel resulting in today's more Japanese-neoclassical form.
Y'all ready for some DALLAS?
Living in a world where being "politically correct" is a bad thing, where people are accustomed to saying whatever the hell they want, whenever they want, with little or no regard to those around them, makes me long for the good old days. I miss kindness. I miss respect and dignity. If you ask me, our world needs more polite-ical correctness!!!
It will come back. I know it will come back. It has to come back!
HAPPY Chinese New YEAR
Around the globe, about 19% of the world's population celebrate Chinese New Year, also known as Lunar New Year. 2016 is the year of the monkey and depending on your zodiac sign, you may either come across good or bad fortune in various aspects of your life.
PSA: US Passport Holders
For all my Americans peeps living in Hong Kong, or anywhere for that matter, listen up! You might want to check your passports. The State Department recently announced it is ending the practice of adding new pages to existing passport books.

I remember being a kid and was considered a stick. As I got older my metabolism slowed and as it did so did I. I am not one for exercising, but I am also not liking the increasing waistline. I am sure there are many parents out there that have stopped taking care of their exercise, because you want to fit in family time. It is not an excuse. My family has decided we want to exercise together, but in a manner in which I can agree to. We are exploring different trails in our town and neighboring towns and taking hikes after dinner. Our favorite trail is about 10 minutes from our house and the best part is that it is completely shaded. Connecticut has had some very humid weather and my fair skin does not like too much sun. The time we walk varies each time, depending on the day of the week, but we found that we can enjoy this together and get our exercise on. Can you find a way to exercise that includes your whole family and is fun?

At this moment, it's too soon to tell which groups will fight it out at Super Bowl 51 one year from now and it's significantly bolder to state that the Oakland Raiders could wind up bringing home this current season's title. In any case, in view of the group's playing style and execution, they may have the capacity to defeat their potential rival, which, at this moment, could be the Dallas Cowboys.
Since Week 2, after breakout star quarterback Dak Prescott could discover his score on the field, the Cowboys have demonstrated that they are the group to beat for the current year. Taking after their misfortune at Week 1, the Dallas group went on a ruling way loaded with back to back triumphs.
In any case, this all changed in Week 14 when they went up against the New York Giants, a similar group that managed their Week 1 misfortune. On account of the Giants safeguard, the Cowboys offense disintegrated, which then prompted to their second loss of the season.
super bowl 2017 halftime
super bowl sunday 2017
super bowl 2017 date
super bowl houston 2017
Be that as it may, if the Dallas group figures out how to ricochet again from this shocking misfortune, which is by either recapturing their certainty on the field or by supplanting Prescott with Tony Romo, then the Cowboys could at present show up at the 2017 Super Bowl.
Thus, if the Raiders keep on winning amusements and push out the AFC beat contender New England Patriots, the group could likewise make it to the finals.
As uncovered by the Giants at Week 14, the shortcoming of the Cowboys lies in the protective design of their rival, CBS Sports reported. Indeed, the group has solid folks running its offense, however against a group that has a predominant guarded line, the Cowboys would disintegrate.
This is a vital viewpoint that the Raiders can undoubtedly exploit off. Dissimilar to the Patriots, the Raiders have a more grounded resistance, which is the reason they are relied upon to take the AFC title, as indicated by Pace Chronicle. Be that as it may, at the Super Bowl against the Cowboys, the Oakland establishment can use this same quality to at last win the title.
Beside their guard, the group's offense is likewise entirely solid particularly given the way Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree have been playing reliably throughout the entire season. This makes the Raiders an exceptionally perilous group particularly at the Super Bowl.

From Man-of-War to Submarine
By John Keegan
In Battle at Sea, Sir John Keegan applies to maritime warfare the technique that he put to such brilliant effect in his classic of war on land, The Face of Battle. He concentrates on four key conflicts: Trafalgar, Jutland, Midway and the Battle of the Atlantic.
He takes us into the very heart of the fighting while providing a remarkable panoramic view of naval warfare through the centuries.
