Denver, CO (PressExposure) November 16, 2009 -- In 2010 millions of Americans will be able to do something they have never done before -- convert their IRA into a Roth IRA account. Current 2009 limitations do not allow anyone who makes more than $100,000 per year to convert their traditional retirement funds into a Roth IRA.
However, beginning in 2010, the Roth IRA conversion restrictions are being lifted. But is this really a good thing for taxpayers?
"Roth IRAs are a bad idea for taxpayers because they are paying taxes now in order to avoid paying taxes on distributions that are taken later," said Jeff Nabers, CEO of Nabers Group. The problem is partly the economic crisis that we are in. "It makes sense if we were in a commodity-based monetary system, but we're not. We have a fiat currency system that creates an inflationary environment in which Roth conversion is a good deal for the government and a bad deal for the taxpayer."
Additionally, the Roth IRA conversion can be costly for the taxpayers. If they opt to convert their traditional IRAs to Roth IRAs, the IRS will view this as a taxable event. Account holders will be taxed based on the entire conversion amount for their current tax bracket. The income taxes due on the 2010 conversion can be spread over two years. However, future conversions must be included in income reports to the IRS and will be taxed during the tax year in which the conversion is completed.
Nabers cautions his clients to carefully look at all their options when considering the Roth IRA conversion. He suggests, "Instead they should continue using their non-Roth Retirement accounts for the maximum tax benefit."
Nabers, self directed IRA expert and the author of Five Steps To Freedom: How to Cut Your Dependence on Institutions and Escape Financial Slavery, points out that the most important thing that taxpayers can do in these economic times is to find alternative investment solutions. "We're likely heading into an era of significant inflation. I recommend that people seek alternatives to volatile Wall Street Securities and dollar-denominated assets in general."
"The action that I recommend is to get more educated on the matter and look at both sides of the story before making a decision," said Nabers. He says deciding to convert to a Roth IRA could cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars. "Before paying taxes using half of your savings, wealth, or retirement account, consult experts about all of your options. What you don't know could hurt you--so seek knowledge and information so that you can make an informed decision that you won't regret."

Arsenal saw yet another transfer target slip though their fingers after Riyad Mahrez put pen-to-paper on a four year deal with Leicester City as reported by The Sun.
Gunners fans reacted to the latest transfer blow with a hashtag – #Kroenkeout calling for club owner Stan Kroenke to resign.
Here is a Youtube video from one Arsenal fan explaining the reasoning behind the hashtag.
If you don't have time to watch it all the crux of the argument is that Kroenke is responsible for fostering a culture at the club that is more concerned about turning a profit than wining trophies.
The Gunners have not actually won the league for a decade now and have been outshone and outspent in the transfer market by their rivals this summer.
The hashtag soon started trending as disgruntled Arsenal fans showed their frustration by tagging along to the movement on Twitter.
Is Kroenke responsible for the Gunners lack of ambition in the transfer market and lack of silverware over the past decade?
Kroenke is likely to stay on despite the protests as is Arsene Wenger who will lead his side against reigning Premier League champions Leicester City on the weekend.

The shamrock is the familiar emblem of Ireland, but these days the snowdrop might be a better one.
In full bloom by early February, the white flower offers a defiantly cheerful face in the bleak winter landscape. For a people still waking with anger, pain and regret from a ride on the Celtic Tiger, the snowdrop offers a lesson in humility, hardiness and hope.
Robert Millar, a 37-year-old plant geek, snowdrop lover and nurseryman in Carlow, refuses to let Ireland's slow economic recovery dampen his spirits. Earlier this month, he held a festival — a "gala" — that drew more than 100 other snowdrop fanciers from across the country to revel in a craze known as galanthomania, after the plant's botanic name, Galanthus.
For the galanthophiles, as they are known, a recent tour of one of Ireland's best collections of snowdrops at an estate called Altamont Gardens was followed by the far more serious business of buying novel varieties of this improbably coveted flower. Millar's offerings ranged from $7 to $20 a plant, modest in the snowdrop world. "Of course, people are much more careful about what to buy," Millar said, "so you have to do your best to present them with something they can't resist."
Millar considers himself lucky: His lack of dependents or a big mortgage turned out to be a parachute when Ireland went over the cliff. "If I had them, I couldn't afford to stay in business."
In a nearby makeshift greenhouse, visiting English nurseryman Alan Street found himself facing a crowd buzzing around a table stacked with snowdrop varieties selling for as much as $70 a pot.
The gala is repeated throughout much of Western Europe in the weeks before the daffodils of March, with organized lectures, garden tours and plant sales. The craze is particularly strong in Britain, the Low Countries and Germany. Historically, the passion was kindled by a few English gardeners dating back to the 19th century, though a handful of landed Irish gardeners nurtured the bulb and raised celebrated varieties such as Straffan, Drummond's Giant and Cicely Hall.
How or when, exactly, the snowdrop attained so much significance is open to debate. Indisputably, the little white flower is the antidote for cabin fever; it gives gardeners another excuse to get together and talk plants; and it appeals to the human urge to collect.
"You get a present of a snowdrop, you buy a few, and in the end you get hooked on it," said Guy De Schrijver, a gray-bearded Belgian snowdrop fancier who has lived in Ireland for 32 years. We found him taking a rest in Millar's nursery, but he sells snowdrops from his small nursery in Tipperary.
The winters are long but relatively mild in Ireland, so enterprising gardeners can assemble impressive winter landscapes in which the snowdrop is joined by such beauties as witch hazels, cyclamen, Lenten roses and the carpets of buttercups known as winter aconites.
But it all centers on this demure, delicate white flower, a plant whose promise of spring inspired the likes of composer Robert Schumann.
If you are tall like Millar or creaky like a lot of the older galanthophiles, merely observing the flower means bowing or kneeling in an act of veneration. Three outer petals hang like rabbit ears around inner petals. The bloom huddles in the cold, but on warmer days the big petals move outward to show the prized green blotches and markings of the "inners." On a variety named Robin Hood, they form an X; on Fly Fishing, the pattern is a perfect, inverted heart. On another variety, the markings resemble Edvard Munch's "The Scream". It's called Grumpy.
Street's priciest variety was named Sprite, coveted for its rare streaks of green on the outer petals. EBay has created a seller's market. Last year, a variety named Green Tear sold for the equivalent of $570. A month later, the Scottish variety Elizabeth Harrison sold for $1,100. It is among a number of rare yellow-marked varieties.
A few years ago, a whole clump of another yellow snowdrop named Carolyn Elwes was stolen from a snowdrop mecca in England, Colesbourne Park. The plant was so well known that it never turned up for sale. John Grimshaw, an English botanist at the forefront of the snowdrop craze, said the thief had picked the horticultural equivalent of a Monet. Too hot to handle.
When Grimshaw co-wrote a landmark book in 2001, there were about 500 named varieties. Now there are more than 1,500, many of them barely distinguishable from the next.
Millar advises his customers, "Don't buy it if you can't see the difference." This may be like telling tourists in Vegas not to gamble.
A subset of gardeners in the United States also fancies the bulb, and will flock to an event at Winterthur near Wilmington, Del., next month. But far fewer varieties are available in the States, in part because the bulb falls under endangered-species protections, and importers face a mountain of red tape.
Grimshaw, speaking to the Irish galanthophiles, said that a collection of 20 varieties should satisfy most folks and that "we should never overlook the sheer beauty" of the common snowdrop species.
In long-undisturbed sites, like their native woodlands in central and southern Europe or the country estates of Britain, the snowdrops have spread slowly to form white carpets with powerful connections to the past. Many were brought back to the British Isles from soldiers in the Crimean War in the 1850s.
In Ireland, the snowdrops have found their way into churchyards, and like the leaning tombstones and hulking yew trees, they provide a haunting continuity. In the village of Shinrone, County Offaly, the church graveyard is awash in February with thousands of naturalized snowdrops. Buried here, in unmarked graves, are a few Kearneys — ancestors of President Obama on his mother's side. A memorial stone marks the fact.
Viewing snowdrops is in itself a pilgrimage. Once close to the ground, gardeners must deftly pinch the flower to see its veiled patterns. Even when the drizzle stops, the breezy cold gets into your marrow. The Romans named this island Hibernia — a word rooted in winter — and left the land alone.
Some galanthophiles wear heavy coats shielding hot water bottles. Others find warmth in a hip flask.
All this calls to mind another bulb craze, the tulipomania of 17th-century Holland, when a desire for tulips evolved into a ruinous trade in bulb shares and futures. But galanthomania is fundamentally different, said Grimshaw. "There's no speculation; they're getting real bulbs."
Tulipomania, though, is closer to the economic crisis that has turned the Celtic Tiger into one sick pussycat. An economic boom that started soundly in the 1990s became increasingly reliant on a real estate bubble pumped up by a development frenzy, easy money, a public-works bonanza and risky banking practices. When the bubble popped, legions of Irish families were stuck in devalued homes with big mortgages and credit card bills. At first, the government agreed to cover the banks' debt, but the guarantees were unsustainable. With the country facing insolvency, the European Union and the International Monetary Fund ponied up a $90 billion bailout in 2010 in return for painful austerity measures. Unemployment remains at almost 15 percent and emigration is again the norm, but Ireland is paying off its debts and is slowly getting on its feet, though the scars will remain for years. There is a lot of blame to go around.
Millar is old enough to remember the poor times that have visited Irish life for decades. His younger countrymen knew only prosperity, he said. "That was the spoilt generation that grew up having it so easy." When the banks sent them unsolicited offers of 100 percent mortgages and new-car loans, they jumped at the debt. "The next thing, the whole bubble bursts."
The crowd ogling and buying snowdrops at Altamont Gardens was of an older generation that is financially more settled but has found wealth in simpler pleasures. Certain bulbs may be expensive, but no one is getting either rich or bankrupt off them.
"It may mean my husband can't have as expensive a brand of whiskey," said a woman from Cork who had purchased several hundred euros' worth of snowdrops and another trendy winter plant, the hellebore.
"The older generation have a better view of how it was and perhaps adapt to it better," said De Schrijver. "I'm selling snowdrops on my Web site, and I have more customers than last year."
Most of the choice varieties of snowdrops are natural seedling variants rather than products of concerted human hybridizing, but stay tuned. "I can think of two or three people breeding snowdrops now, and the results will be astonishing," Grimshaw told the gathering. "We'll be seeing some extraordinary things in colors and forms."
Whatever the mood of the broader population, for Irish galanthophiles, spring is in the air.

Justin Bieber is Teaming Up with EDM's Biggest Trio for New Collab
Justin Bieber is back, and this time, he's hitting the studio with Major Lazer. After the success of megahit "Where R Ü Now" with Jack Ü and his EDM-fueled album Purpose, it's not surprising to see Bieber dip back in to the dance music pool. According to Diplo, this new single should be "coming up in a couple of weeks."
"Cold Water" featuring Justin Bieber will be the first single from Major Lazer's new album. The lead single will also feature Danish singer/songwriter MØ, known for her work on the smash hit "Lean On" with Major Lazer and DJ Snake.
First teased on twitter by Bieber and Diplo last week, "Cold Water" will premiere via the new Lazer Sound show on Beats 1.
Major Lazer's fourth studio album and follow-up to Peace is the Mission (which received a re-release as Peace is the Mission: Extended) is titled Music is the Weapon and is expected to drop this year. Back in November, Diplo even teased the new album to feature a collaboration with The Weeknd.

Two teenagers have been charged after being arrested at a brawl in Melbourne's west.
Police were called to a function centre at Albion to disperse a crowd of about 300 people last night.

Officers patrolling the area found a group fighting and as they tried to arrest a 21-year-old Melton man, rocks were hurled at them.
One officer was struck and was treated for bruising at the scene.
Two teenagers were arrested and have now been charged with a series of armed robberies in the Sunshine area.
An 18-year-old Taylors Lakes man and a 16-year-old boy from Keilor Downs, are facing 38 charges each, including armed robbery, robbery, assault and criminal damage.

Russia and Georgia have accused each other of being the aggressor as fighting rages on in South Ossetia.
Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on Saturday asserted that Georgia has committed genocide against its own people, and therefore has lost the right to rule the breakaway region. Georgia's President Mikhail Saakashvili called Russia's actions in South Ossetia "madness," and he urged an immediate cease-fire.
Fierce fighting continued for a second day in the region Saturday, and thousands of people were reported to be fleeing the violence. The fighting was centered in South Ossetia's capital, Tskhinvali, but there also were reports of battles outside South Ossetia, including in Georgia's other breakaway region of Abkhazia. Georgian officials accused Russia of staging airstrikes on military bases not far from Georgia's capital, Tbilisi, and of bombing the Black Sea port city of Poti, which is home to key oil shipping facilities.
Mr. Putin called the situation a "humanitarian catastrophe," citing
Russian claims of 15-hundred deaths in the fighting. Georgian Foreign
Minister Eka Tkeshelashvili said the conflict has claimed 150 lives,
including about 40 civilians.

SEN Learning Resources
Loyne Learning Alliance
Year 7 Catch Up Funding
The Year 7 Catch-Up Premium is used within The Loyne Specialist School to support the engagement and achievement of all pupils, following our inclusive ethos and values.
With the grant we wish to:
1. Prioritise the training of our staff to ensure they are skilled and able to focus on the individual needs of our pupils.
2.Ensure that our staff are highly skilled in teaching Literacy and Numeracy in whatever form this takes.
3.Provide the best inclusive teaching resources that we can, to ensure maximum progress for all our learners.
4.Ensure that all of our most able pupils have accurate SALT assessments that provide staff with targets and strategies to support best outcomes.
The Loyne Specialist School is an all-through school, taking children from 2 years old through to 19, and our data gives us confidence that our Year 7 children do not experience a dip in their steady progress when they change from Year 6 to Year 7. We recognise that although our children don't experience the classic Primary into Secondary dip, we routinely have children joining us from other schools at ages spread right through the school. We know that when children join the school, in any Year group, there is a period of adjustment for them as they get to know new staff and learn to understand the boundaries and expectations in our setting.
For this reason we use the Year 7 Catch-Up Premium to focus on staff training and resources across the school , knowing that people and equipment need to be in place to minimise the impact of this post-Summer/post- transition challenge for our pupils, as they adjust to the new setting. This means that it is important that all of our staff are supported in working at the highest quality, and that the resources available to all pupils through our curriculum resourcing are of a very high standard. We have a very well established programme of training for teaching and support staff. This incorporates a substantial induction period and the allocation of a personal mentor, as well as ongoing training so that staff across all areas of the school are equipped with what we refer to as Essential Qualifications. To aid staff development we run a carousel of training across the year. Staff are released to take part. Thus a floating TA is essential to cover classes.
Use of Year 7 Catch-Up Premium 2015 – 16
use of the Year 7 Catch-Up Premium 2016 – 2017
Our In House SALT provides invaluable support to staff and pupils and the purchase of CELF will allow finely detailed assessments to be conducted in-house to enable us to fine tune therapy programmes for our most able pupils.
Numicon will provide a structured highly visual approach to the delivery of numeracy to our pupils who require a multi modal approach to skill development.
We also place great value on informal staff development, and we pay our support staff to start work 10 minutes before the children arrive every day and our TA3's and HLTA's to work on for 30 minutes after they leave .This enables every class team to discuss general matters relating to classroom practice as well as individual children's needs.
Each year our Curriculum Leaders are allocated a modest budget to update or purchase new resources for their areas, and for several years now this has had to be substantially restricted. Therefore the Year 7 Catch-Up Premium has helped us to bolster this funding and has meant that we have been able to purchase new resources such as bag books and high interest magazines and comics for our more able pupils. Our numeracy resources have been bolstered by Numicon and the subsequent training.

I woke at 6am on Christmas morning. For the first time in my life it was not because I was excited by a visit from Santa but because I've taken to walking early in the morning and watching the sun rise. With four dogs in tow.
I woke at 6am on Christmas morning. For the first time in my life it was not because I was excited by a visit from Santa but because I've taken to walking early in the morning and watching the sun rise. With four dogs in tow.
We are now spending a week house and pet sitting on a farm near Gort, a small town near Galway. The family are off to Gran Canaria for a summer holiday so we're keeping their animals in good health and giving them company. We found this assignment through www.trustedhousesitters.com too.
The house is lovely and big with lots of light, the land is green and there's even an old castle! Because we're out of town we've been given the use of a small van for the week. We truly are 'trusted!'
John keeps horses on his land, about a dozen, but we don't have to do anything other than look at them as they come in from the fields and let a neighbour know if there are any problems.
Our responsibilities lie mostly with the four dogs, two white rats, the ferret and the cat.
It's not as much work as it sounds – the cat comes and goes as she pleases and only gets fed once a day, the ferret mostly stays in his cage and only gets fed once a day and is taken out to play for about five minutes, the rats most definitely stay in their cage and only get fed once a day, preferably while they're still sleeping so I don't have to look at their gross tails.
The dogs take up most of the work and even then it's not too bad. There are three little dogs who get fed once a day. There is a teeny weeny Shih Tzu cross named Zidane, an old, deaf Jack Russell called Jack, an antagonistic terrier called Chebal and an enormous eight month old Great Dane puppy, Elvis, who gets fed three times a day.
Elvis is a very nervous and scared puppy, which is quite amusing for such a big animal. Although he's young he's almost as big as me. At first I was a bit nervous of him, he's just so big. He was a bit overexcited and playful the day we arrived too and thought that barking and jumping on me would be a good idea. When the terrier jumps on me, his paws hit my thighs and I bend down to pat him. But when Elvis jumps on me his paws hit my shoulders and he towers over me. A bit terrifying at first, especially when he's barking as well. When I discovered that we were the only people to apply for this gig I thought that maybe we were over our heads and other people know what they'd be getting themselves into.
But we're used to each other now. There was no dog pee to clean up this morning which was progress (we accidentally slept in to 8.30am yesterday and woke to quite a large mess). The dogs are excited to see us now and Elvis will follow one or the other of us around like a shadow. Probably because we feed him. And because he's scared of everything else. I very calmly pushed him off my shoulders this morning after breakfast (good for me!). Though he did nearly bowl me over this afternoon when he jumped on my back.
If I was ever to get a dog of my own, I'd want a Great Dane.
It's not quite the summer break that we had in Belgium. It has rained everyday since I flew in. The soft gentle rain falling on the fields keeps the country green and, probably, the farmers happy, but it makes me want to curl up inside. So we haven't been as good about the exercising as we were in the Parc du Cinquantenaire. We manage a 16 minute tabata most evenings and few strolls around the land with the dogs but that's about it.
Dare I say that Ireland is wetter than Scotland? No, that would be silly.
Yesterday my friend, Bec, who lives in the south of the Netherlands hopped a train to visit me in Brussels. I love that I have a social life here in Belgium, and that it's international!
We didn't have much of a plan for the day, other than to catch up, eat and drink. Which is just as well really because that's about all we did! We explored the city a bit and managed to catch a little bit of culture, coming across a random brass band playing the Lion Sleeps Tonight as we wandered through a craft market.
Then we explored some the drinking establishments of Brussels, whcih I'm sure is still on the tourist and culture trail.
At one bar we could hear the sounds of Calling Mark (Dire Straits tribute band) as part of the Brussels Summer Festival. I had no idea what they were setting up as I walked through the Place des Palais to meet Bec at the station but, having looked up what was happening, wish I'd been more on the ball as it looks like a great, quite casual, music festival. Still, Bec and I talked so much I'm not sure we would have appreciated a full day at the festival and I'm sure we solved a lot of the world's problems while we were at it (also, Saturday night was sold out).
Despite the mild hangover this morning, I still managed to go for a (late) morning run through the park. I can probably thank Lucky for that though as he refused to let me sleep past 8.30 – kept swatting my face and swishing his tail at me until I got up.
Did a bit of tidying up in preparation for Alynn coming back tomorrow (yeah, my Brussels days are almost over) then took myself out to be a tourist. I discovered this morning that the Royal Palace, which is only open between July and September is free! So I took myself off to explore the Hall of Mirrors and some royal rooms.
The Museum of Military History is also free so I went there too (love free stuff), passing the European Parliament on the way.
There's a really big aviation section with some old military aircraft and some weird and wonderful examples of early aeroplanes.
I think I'm going to miss Brussels. I'm definitely getting more waffles before I leave tomorrow…
We've been in Belgium a week now and so far it suits us fine. We're still getting up and doing some exercise in the park in the mornings (except for one day when it rained all day long) so I feel pretty good before I start work.
My cupcake recipe book is coming along. In order to format it properly, I've been learning geek stuff like HTML coding. It's lucky that Barry is here though to explain stuff to me. Although, without him, there is always Google, and Google knows everything, so I might manage this weekend!
It's not all running and typing though. We walked into town one evening to go out for dinner. So there we were, near the Grand Place, eating mussels in Brussels.
We strolled around town watching street performers and, of course, eating waffles. I think they taste best without any adornment – no fruit, no ice cream, no icing sugar, just waffle.
Barry left for Ireland this morning, for his nephew's christening, so it's just Lucky and me here in Belgium. Lucky will probably miss Barry's cuddles (Barry is more affectionate to the cat than me sometimes!). I certainly missed Barry this morning, when we had an adventure with a mouse. But we survived (the same cannot be said for the mouse I'm afraid).
Hopefully tomorrow morning is not so eventful.

text: I own a 05 scag tiger cub 48", I bought it new in the spring of 06. I thought I would have good dealer support which really did not happen. We mow 5 acres on our little farm and 3 acres on another home, thats it. The mower has broken the belt 3 times, and thrown a belt abot 4 times in the short time we have had it. Other than that I like the mower. Ran it by my dealer a couple times to get a belt and was told 2- weeks, I was not happy. I am now in the market for another mower. Went to that same dealer and told them I was buying another mower but I was reluctant to buy from them because of service. He commences to tell me scag has come out with a modification kit that will make the tiger cub run two belts instead of one belt which makes it not throw belts. They rent mowers and said they had the same problem. My thinking was, why did you not tell me this the third time I came in for a belt with a new mower I purchased from you. Anyway, I was not pleased. We are buying a second mower to put on our 3 acre place. I dont mow commercially but I don't mind spending the extra money for quality commercial equipment. I went to 5 dealers, only 2 of which I would do business with and looked at new mowers. I will not do business with the dealer I bought the scag from. The dealer I liked the best only had cub cadet, i test drove the commercial cub cade, but did not care for the ride. Anyway, I looked at a used late model hustler fastrac from a home owner, I test drove it, it was not even close to running like my tiger cub, it was junk, 2 years old about 100 hours, it really sucked. The I went and looked at a Toro Z master 48" 19 hp kaw. It was a 2007 with 31 hours on it. It looks like its a z 400. I have to say that thing drove exactly like my tiger cub, I was impressed, after driving a cub cadet, and hustler, I really liked the feel of quality and handling of the Toro. The guy wants 4700.00 for it, I know thats close to a new price, ( no it does not have the turbo deck) But also, I am taking into consideration of not having to pay 400.00 in tax on a new one. The dealer he purchased it from has a good rep. I hope the warranty is transferrable. I think I may offer him 4500.00 that would save me about a thousand dollars off a new one one. i could sure tell a huge difference in driving a commercial toro and a fastrac hustler, there was no comparison, in performance. My thinking was dealers don't warranty belts and blades and everything else is made to last a few years, why not buy a used late model with low hours and safe paying tax on a new one. Does anyone know if warranties are transferable? I am really leaning toward the toro z master for 4500.00, which looks like new are about 5000.00-57000.00 from what I can gather. I do know I am convinced about getting a commercial mower instead of a residential, after driving that hustler 52" with a 18 hp honda, it was crap. The only other option is the dealer I bought the scag from had a new dixon kodiak 52" with I think a 21-23 hp new for 6500.00, this deal was tempting but i don't want to buy from that dealer again. I own a retail store, we pride ourselves in customer service and really don't want to support a business that does give good service. I thought when I bought that scag I was paying for quality and trouble free service, well i was wrong, its a pain when you spend that kind of money on whats suppose to be one of the best, and its broke down about every 4 time out of the barn. My dealer told me I could pay 250.00 and get the new mod kit for the belts but as much trouble, that this thing has been, and the fact i bought the mower from them you would think they would put it on a no charge. Anyway, I have been looking and test driving and wanted to share my experiences. Anyway, I am just getting these thought down on paper, any comment appreciated.

Multiple WP Float widget panels overlapping
I am attempting to use WP Float to show floating icons with links for Facebook, Twitter and Google+ on the top right position using the widget option.
I want them to display vertically so it seems like I have to enter the code for each into a separate widget to allow this to happen (otherwise they show horizontally). Therefore, I have set the "distance from Top/Bottom" for each of the three widgets to allow some separation between the icons. However, when I load the page, after appearing in the correct positions, the three icons rise to the top of the page and overlap somewhat.
I am also using a fourth WP Float widget in the top right position and this is completely unaffected. This is the website under development: http://www.c-a-b-l-e.org.uk
Can you suggest how I correct this (in non-developer language please :-D)
Many thanks

Most of our parents would have taught us during our growing up years that we must inculcate this virtue because it is the right thing to do. Question arises-What is integrity? It means honesty - keeping to one's word even if it costs us dearly to do so. If you pledge to 'love, honour and cherish your spouse until death do you part', you must honour that promise. If you agree to do a task, you must do it. Integrity comes in many forms, but honesty and dependability are two traits that are expected in most workplace situations. Irresponsible behaviour and distrust can make a work environment tense and uncomfortable.
A strong work ethic shows co-workers and clients that you're reliable and take your responsibilities seriously. Polite communication, respectable behaviour and fiscal Irresponsibility also help you stand out as a trustworthy employee. Working diligently when you're on the clock is a clear example of workplace integrity. Socializing, surfing the Internet, making personal phone calls, texting and frequent snacking are activities that detract from work time. Saving those activities for break time will show your boss, co-workers and customers that you work hard when you're on the clock. Even if you don't actually clock in and out with a time card, focusing on your work responsibilities while you're at your desk, work station or production area will showcase your strong work habits. Abiding by company policies is another powerful way to demonstrate integrity.
Cutting corners and neglecting to follow workplace regulations can lead to mistakes, problems and even dangerous situations. Your willingness to properly record financial transactions, safely dispense of hazardous or toxic materials, follow company protocol for dealing with clients, perform clean-up or set-up procedures and properly maintain equipment shows others that you're not just looking for the easy way out. Establishing yourself as a trustworthy worker who submits to company policies shows your boss and coworkers that you'll faithfully carry out your duties.
Respecting those you work with reveals your desire to create a healthy work environment. Polite communication, appropriate interactions and respect for co-workers' thoughts and ideas demonstrate your ability to look beyond your own interests to pursue team centred work goals. As you deal with co-workers honestly and respectfully, you establish a level of trust with them. Integrity in the workplace also stems from moral and ethical behaviour.
Making sure there's no reason to question your conduct is one of the best ways to prove that you are an honest and dependable employee. Avoid using company products or equipment for personal use and submit exact receipts for travel or meal reimbursements. Don't over-promise what you can't provide and strive to meet deadlines. Work productively and cooperate during company meetings so you don't appear lazy or apathetic, and don't call in sick if you aren't. By exhibiting responsible behaviour, you don't give co-workers or clients the opportunity to question your integrity.

English Learners (EL)
The English Learners (EL) State Collaborative on Assessment and Student Standards (SCASS) constitutes the only national, sustained forum among state education agencies, researchers, and policy experts on issues of standards and assessment for English learners. The EL SCASS explores issues of policy implementation, particularly focusing on college- and career-ready academic standards and state English Language Proficiency (ELP) standards, their aligned assessment systems, and state policies that affect instruction, curriculum, professional supports, and leadership for ELs. EL SCASS members, in collaboration with advisor Kenji Hakuta and co-advisor Magda Chia, determine specific issues of focus.
Over the course the 2016-2017 membership year, the EL SCASS addressed a number of issues:
- Supported and learned from state implementation of the new Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) Title I accountability provisions to include English language proficiency development:
- Launched a state collaborative research study on state policy and local support for recently arrived English learners (RAELs) in collaboration with Ilana Umansky at the University of Oregon and Delia Pompa at the Migration Policy Institute.
- Continued working with state leaders engaged in teacher evaluation systems to include principles from the InTASC Model Core Teaching Standards for instruction for English learners. This is in collaboration with Diane August of AIR.
- Provided guidance through a publication, titled English Language Learners with Disabilities: A Call for Additional Research and Policy Guidance, on identifying and supporting English learners with disabilities to avoid misidentification, advance academic achievement, and appropriately exit students from special programs and services. This work is in collaboration with Soyoung Park, Stanford University; Joni Magee, Massachusetts Department of Education; Martha Martinez, Oregon Department of Education; Lynn Shafer Willner, WIDA; and Jen Paul, Michigan Department of Education.
- Created additional material addressing local policy and practice addressing needs of for English learners with disabilities in collaboration with Soyoung Park, Stanford University, and Martha Martinez, Oregon Department of Education.
- Engaged in an extended discussion of standardized statewide entry and exit criteria for ELs required under Title III for ESSA state plans. See the CCSSO publication titled Effort on Moving toward a Common Definition of English Learners.
For 2017-2018, the EL SCASS will focus on the following topics:
- Continue work on ongoing projects: ELs in new Title I accountability provisions, supporting recently arrived English learners, teacher evaluation systems, guidance to identify and support English learners with disabilities, and Title III ESSA state entry and exit criteria.
- Early Childhood Education: Identifying factors that impact early childhood education and the transition to kindergarten, especially around issues of early childhood bilingualism, cultural diversity, assessment of program quality and the proper assessment of children's school readiness.
- Federal guidance on immigration: Understanding changes in federal immigration policy, particularly those delegating federal authority to local agencies, and implications for state education directors.

Prophecies and Revelations received in 2009
31 Dec 2009
"The problem with most people is that they do not know how to weigh circumstances in their life in comparison to others and be grateful for what they have. This is what stops them from being merciful to others." (See also The Parable of The Unmerciful Servant- Matthew 18:23-34)
28 Dec 2009
"Do not worry if you don't find or understand what you are seeking now, for different times shed different lights and then you will see!"
26 Dec 2009
God will show mercy in the way He works things out when a person lacks knowledge for the sake of time.
23 Dec 2009
"People go to church and listen to sermons or they hear testimonies to find out the ways of the Lord. But be alert, for what you hear may be correct, but this may also cause you to develop a pre-conceived misconception about God's workings in your life. Therefore be alert and seek the Lord, for what you know about the Lord may be true, but may not be the way God will choose to work in your life."
23 Dec 2009
"Be diligent to do what is required of you and what you have authority over, for death is at your doorstep." (you only have this life to obey your calling)
27 Dec 2009
Be careful not to be distracted by those things that have the appearance of doing the Lord's work but are actually distracting you from the things God wants for you. These distractions may come in the form of people who seem interested in knowing about the ways of God but who don't succeed in or want to change their ways!
Dec 2009
One morning in prayer I asked the Lord what it is that prevents people from coming to the knowledge of Jesus Christ and being saved?
He said to me "Pre-conceived Misconceptions". (This also applies to the church who have pre-conceived misconceptions about who God is, and how God works)
6 Dec 2009
The importance about why you shouldn't hide behind your reasoning and think you are safe there or lean on your own understanding.
"Because there is an invisible element of deception that eludes man even with his reasonable understanding."
25 October 09
It is the Lord's mercy that leads Him to be slow and patient with us. He expects His church to show the same patience and slowness with each other.
02 October 09
What is prophecy? "For the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy" It is the direct word from God Himself spoken into the life of a person. This Word isn't subject to any tradition, Law (even if God initiated) or human understanding no matter how 'scriptural' it may seem. The motivation behind prophecy is Love, Mercy and Wisdom.
02 October 09
Those that walk in legalism prevent giving the other person what is rightfully theirs.
03 August 09
Wisdom is the mercy of God for man's limited time on earth.
14 May 09
"There is a particular and vulnerable kind of patience that is needed during God's crucial times, times when the world's salvation is dependent on this patience. It is the kind of patience that Jesus Christ endured on the Cross. For if this patience is disrupted, salvation cannot come!"
13 May 09
There are two kinds of judgment. One that comes from the love of God and one that comes from the rejection of that love.
12 May 09
"The parables of Jesus were not only given to reveal the facts of reality but as a warning to bring those facts to their rightful place."

An article on a CNN website stated that the reason he abandoned organized religion was that he had a bad experience with one of his child hood mentors ( a bishop of some sort). This did, however, occur after he had some education in religion.

Ehrman is athiest. He lost his religion after spending decades studying its origins and traditions. Many scholars do. Unless anyone else here has spent decades studying the real stuff up close and personal, I would not judge the validity of his choice. He's learned and forgotten more on the subject of Christianity than anyone on this list can ever hope to (barring the presence of any other Ph.D's we haven't seen yet, of course).

The Betrayal Chapter 47 Snippet
Published by captain kate in the blog captain kate's blog. Views: 106
With a flash of light, she felt herself flying through time and space again. Below her, the Earth spun on its axis with a pace that was dizzying to try to comprehend. Giant space stations were built, lived and were scrapped before her very eyes as the time raced past. It was as if the whole of mankind's existence was flashing before her very eyes.
"Which is it, little one," Brown said.
"So," Kate said softly. "My previous self helped turn the tide of the war against Hitler. I imagine what she did saved millions of lives in the long run."
"It did that," Brown said. "Because if D-day had failed, Hitler would have had time to develop the a-bomb before the Allies and would have won the war."
"Did we have anything to do with that?"
"We did steal the plans and send them to the allies," Brown said. "It was our last contribution to the war effort."
"Why was that?"
"Because Hitler discovered out treachery shortly thereafter," Brown said. "And he executed us."
"That seems to be a recurring theme in our lives," Kate said, realizing for the first time she was speaking aloud.
"It is, little one,"
With a sigh, she opened her eyes to the cabin that Ferini had picked for her. A cabin, she thought with a snort, more like a de facto prison cell! There was no way he was going to leave anything in there that she could use as a weapon! Not after their escape five years ago, and not if he was smart either!
Whatever drug he had used definitely packed quite a wallop, she thought with a groan. Her head, normally clear as a mountain sky, was throbbing in time with her heartbeat. However, as she lay there, she could feel it starting to subside slowly as the busy nanites in her system metabolized the drug.
And they can't move fast enough for my liking, she thought as she raised a hand to her head on instinct.
She stared at her gloved hand for several, long moments as she though back to Haven. That bastard Kosloski had gotten her shut down codes, she fumed, and he had used them to immobilize her. That was the entire opening Ferini had needed to recapture her! If there was a worst situation for her to be in, she couldn't think of one.
Trapped on a ship with the man who raped me repeatedly, she thought, headed back to the hell I escaped from…there isn't much worse that could happen.
"Oh there is much worse," Brown whispered in her ear.
"Honey," she said with a growl. "There isn't much worse then the man who has me in his grasp again."
"Are you sure about that?"
"Yes I am," Kate said as she climbed back to her feet.
Surprised that her legs and arms still moved she walked over to the window to look out. As the stars streaked past the armored glass, she found her mind racing. If he had used her shutdown codes, she told herself, then how was she able to walk now? There was no way Ferini would be dumb enough to allow her to keep her full power. While it didn't give her an earth shattering advantage over a skilled opponent, it generally gave her enough to win.
He isn't going to want that, she thought to herself. Ferini will want to have to advantage, which is typical of him.
Behind her the door to the cabin slid open…

In November, our friend Camper found an ad on Craigslist for a part-time position at Moscone Center. A company that staffs conventions needed registrars, room monitors, and other flunkies at hourly wages ranging from $9 to $12. Camper and Dog Bites decided to apply. Dog Bites has a degree in journalism. Camper has a degree in physics and made $70,000 two years ago.
Both of us got hired.
On our first day of training, we ran into Camper, dressed in the company uniform (khaki pants, blue oxford shirt) plus a pair of $150 J.Crew sunglasses. Dog Bites quickly calculated that the shades cost nearly as much as we would earn that week. We found ourselves doing many such computations in our head, such as how 24 hours of work (our first assignment) would net us $216.
During training, a woman next to us sucked down a can of breakfast drink and said she had dealt blackjack in Atlantic City for 14 years. Now, as a full-time temp, she makes less than $9,000 a year. She also said many of the other trainees looked familiar to her. Dog Bites had thought that people who worked for temp agencies did so, um, temporarily. Apparently, it is more of an established subculture than we realized. In the microworld of convention staffers, some "temps" have been doing the job for more than 10 years. The first wave of panic washed over us.
We relaxed a bit when we realized some trainees seemed to be enjoying themselves. One man, with a ribbon of facial hair à la Prince, sat with his shirt untucked, one arm thrown across the back of a chair. He asked questions in a highly enunciated voice and laughed at the trainer's ad-libs. When people behind him whispered, he made theatrically loud throat-clearing noises.
He nodded as the trainer talked about calming "irate surgeons." Our job description included mollifying their endemic impatience, which, according to our trainer, could erupt at any moment for any reason and be directed at the nearest non-surgeon -- i.e., a staffing person.
We then took a tour of the building, trying desperately to reassure ourselves that the job did not define us. Making fun of other staffers seemed to help stabilize our plummeting self-confidence. A future room monitor with a jeans handbag tried to go down the up escalator. Another woman wore -- gasp -- beige pants with an elastic waistband. However, we had to accept that we had been assigned to pass out stubby little pencils, the kind commonly found on golf courses and in bowling alleys, in the sublevel of Moscone Center to 12,000 surgeons over the next four days.
We weren't in a position to make fun of anyone else.
We took BART in from West Oakland with our boyfriend, who stared at us the whole way. He was fascinated by how much we looked like a lesbian in our uniform.
We discovered that our first assignment was with Prince and a young woman we'll call College Girl. CG had decided she was in charge, but was uncertain about Prince's competence. One of our group's duties was counting chairs before a particular medical presentation began, so that after it got under way we could count empty chairs and subtract them from the total to see how many surgeons had attended. Already Prince had multiplied 14 rows by 14 chairs and gotten 296. He had no interest in hearing why he shouldn't carry the 1 more than once.
Two hours after the first presentation had begun, Prince wandered back from wherever the hell he'd been as Dog Bites was passing out pencils and survey forms for the surgeons to jot down their comments.
"I'll do this," Prince gallantly offered. "Why don't you sit down?"
Our first instinct was to shield our armful of forms. We didn't mind the work. Indeed, we craved the brief interpersonal communication. But we realized we were getting proprietary over a very small, very low-paying job. We acquiesced and sat on the carpet. As we did so, College Girl approached and, unbelievably, began to review the staffing company's instruction sheet with us.
She ran her finger beneath certain rules such as "no reading" and "pay attention to the speaker," as if we were in imminent danger of bringing the entire session to a halt with our lassitude. We said nothing. We let her have her moment.
Finally, the surgeons began to file out of the room and hand us their stubby pencils and survey sheets. Next to us was a fire door with one of those wide, push-in handles, and every time we put a pencil on the handle to keep our hands free, CG immediately snatched it up and placed it carefully in the pencil return box. We began to enjoy ourselves, deliberately spacing the pencils so that CG had to lean over.
Our next assignment was to direct traffic at Room 305, where the scheduled presentation had been moved to Room 135. The session's title was "Pain Management," and the two staffers working the room were having a good time with it.
"Pain Management" had a session number -- 7 -- and a staffer named Ed asked a doctor if he was looking for Session 7. The doctor looked at him blankly. So Ed, giddy and nearly unable to contain himself, sprung his line.
"Are you here for pain?" he asked.
The doctor guffawed, then grimaced unsurely.
"I hope not," he said, taking a survey form. "Is it painful?"
Ed leaned forward conspiratorially.

Tuesday Time Saving Tips - Fundraisers
Birthday Pizza Card by AJKArtistry
It's AngelaSpots with another Tuesday Time Saving Tip.
Is your family inundated with fundraisers like mine is?
If you don't enjoy fundraisers, or don't have the time for them but still want to help politely decline and write the organization a $10 or $20 cheque. So many fundraisers bring in such a small % you would have to sell a large quantity of items to make the same amount of money. The organization will still make the money it needs and you'll save your energy for bigger and better things.

Went to Marino ' s on Melrose last week. Heard a lot of good things, so we decided to try it. Had 6 o'clock reservations and arrived a few minutes early. Walked in, cute nice, took a few minutes to be seated even though there was no one there. Seated at one table but asked to switch as the seat was all indented, no problem. Asked for drinks, ordered Pele grind with ice, others ordered drinks. Received water but wasn't Pelegrino, okay. Ordered dinners. Caesar salad okay, no taste. Brought dinners, pasta looked nuce. Two orders of veal picatta. Large plates with a few slices of veal in a grayish sauce, no garnish nothing. As they were serving the veal knocked over one of our companions water and it got all over the table and our cimpaniin. They tried to clean up, and then was going to put dry napkins over thir portion of the wet table even though he was all wet and the cloth was wet going down the sides. We asked to be changed to another table which they did amicably. We then shared a cheesecake. The food was okay. When we first arrived we parked on the street and asked if the valet if we can park on the street, said didn't know and walked away. We got there an hour after they opened and a half hour later they were just setting the tables with flowers and candkes. Turns out they had Pelegrino, but it was not cold according the manager. The cheesecake was not fully set and was falling apart.
We were disappointed in the restaurant and how they handled things. First a restaurant that has been around that long should have everything set when they open the doors. Bottled water was not cold and dessert wasn't set. Nothing was done to compensate the diner that was completely soaked, even though it was an accident. It seemed like there were a lot of excuses for the whole evening.
