8 January 2004
WOODBURY, NY - Harman Kardon today announced the introduction of its DPR 2005 and DPR 1005 digital path receivers, two innovative 7.1 -channel audio/video receivers that take Harman Kardon's groundbreaking digital path receiver platform to new levels of performance and functionality. The sleek, distinctively styled DPR 2005 and DPR 1005 utilize a fully digital signal path from input to output, and include the company's latest features and technologies, more powerful digital -amplifier sections and many additional refinements.
Tom McLoughlin, Harman Kardon president, pointed out: "Harman Kardon was the first to introduce the numerous engineering and design benefits of digital path receiver technology to the industry, and our DPR 2005 and DPR 1005 build upon the innovations of the previous generation to offer significantly enhanced performance and versatility. Both models offer an outstanding combination of superb sound, ease of use and operational flexibility, and their striking appearance makes them ideal for design -conscious consumers who want to integrate a true high -performance audio/video receiver into a stylish and elegant home entertainment system."
The Digital Amplifier Advantage
Harman Kardon's DPR 2005 and DPR 1005 use the latest design technologies for Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) digital amplifiers to deliver high -power output with superior low -impedance drive capability, enabling the receivers to drive even the most difficult loudspeaker loads to ample volume levels. The DPR 2005 provides 7 x 120 watts power output (into 8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, <0.15% THD, all channels driven) while the DPR 1005 delivers 7 x 70 watts (into 8 ohms, 20Hz - 20kHz, <0.15% THD, all channels driven).
The receivers' digital -amplifier technology provides significant advantages in performance and physical design. In both the DPR 2005 and DPR 1005, the digital audio signal from sources such as a DVD player, HDTV set -top box, satellite receiver or CD player is routed directly to the receiver's DSP section and then to the digital -amplifier section, while remaining completely in the digital domain from input to the final amplifier output stage. The distortions or losses from additional digital -to -analog conversion steps that occur in conventional receivers are virtually eliminated - no D/A conversion in the signal path takes place until the signals reach the speaker output terminals. In addition, because it does not employ gain stages or negative feedback loops, the amplifier section maintains phase coherence and eliminates slew -induced and TIM (transient intermodulation) distortion.
A further advantage of the DPR system is that it is more efficient than conventional amplifier designs, converting more electrical power into usable amplifier power. Consequently, less heat is generated, and large heat sinks are not required, despite the presence of seven high -power amplifier channels. As a result, the DPR 2005 and DPR 1005 are considerably more compact than conventional A/V receivers, allowing them to be used in locations where larger audio/video components could not be accommodated.
Complementing their innovative digital -amplifier design, the DPR 2005 and DPR 1005 utilize premium 24 -bit/192kHz Cirrus Logic® audio D/A converters and a 24 -bit, dual -core DSP with 32 -bit post -processing to achieve superlative audio performance.
Complete Bass -Management and Multichannel Audio Capabilities
The Harman Kardon DPR 2005 and DPR 1005 offer the industry's most advanced and comprehensive control capabilities, connectivity options and feature complement, which they share with the company's flagship AVR 7300 Series audio/video receiver and high -end AVR Series models.
Both models are among the first to offer a Quadruple -Crossover Bass Manager, allowing selection from among six different crossover frequencies for the front L/R, center, surround L/R and surround back loudspeakers. This innovative feature enables the user to perfectly tailor the audio output fed to each set of speakers and yield the optimum frequency response and performance in a 7.1 -channel system.
This function is especially important when utilized with source components with DVD -Audio and/or SACD capability, which often lack proper internal audio bass management and redirection facilities. The Bass -Management System operates in conjunction with the receivers' 8 -channel analog direct inputs provided for connection to a DVD -Audio, SACD or universal player, and both the DPR 2005 and DPR 1005 offer the option of either passing their outputs through a direct "bypass" mode, or digitizing them so the Bass -Management System may be used, to obtain best sonic performance from a source component that does not have internal bass management.
The DPR 2005 and DPR 1005 offer state -of -the -art surround sound capabilities, including the latest
Dolby* Pro Logic* IIx surround decoding, which provides a natural, expansive, full -range 7.1 -channel listening experience from stereo and 5.1 -channel -encoded sources. Dolby Virtual Speaker and Dolby Headphone processing are also included, which yield a convincing surround sound environment from two loudspeakers and from headphones, respectively. The receivers are compatible with all other popular surround formats, such as Dolby Digital EX and Dolby Digital, all DTS® modes, including 6.1 DTS -ES® Discrete, DTS -Matrix, DTS Neo:6® (Cinema 6.1/5.1 and Music 6.1/5.1) and DTS 96/24 high -resolution audio technology. Both receivers include built -in MP3 decoding, and provide High Definition Compatible Digital® (HDCD®) processing to provide the best -possible CD playback quality.
The DPR 2005 and DPR 1005 incorporate proprietary Logic 7® audio technologies, developed by Harman International, to deliver improved, derived multichannel reproduction from both matrix -encoded and two -channel stereo recordings with derived stereo decoding (unlike the mono decoding provided by other 6.1 -channel formats) for the back surround channels. Logic 7 is compatible with 96kHz sources and offers two listening modes, Cinema and Music, for improved playback of both matrix -encoded movie soundtracks and two -channel music recordings. The sonic results are better imaging and separation along with a greater sense of envelopment and a seamless sound field. Both receivers also include Harman International's patented VMAx® Virtual Theater audio processing, a DSP method of producing realistic, high -fidelity, 360 -degree surround sound audio from two -channel stereo and matrix -encoded multichannel audio sources using just two loudspeakers or headphones.
Exceptional Home Entertainment Flexibility With Multiroom Functionality
In common with all Harman Kardon receivers, the DPR 2005 and DPR 1005 digital path receivers offer extensive audio and video connectivity and installation flexibility, including multizone/multiroom operation. These attributes make the receivers ideal for use in a wide variety of high -performance home entertainment systems and custom installations. Both include wide -bandwidth, HDTV -compatible, component video switching, assignable to any component video input source. Video functionality is further expanded by the inclusion of an A/V Sync Delay function that compensates for the delay that can occur between the video and audio signals when digital video sources, video displays or external video processors are in use. The DPR 2005 and DPR 1005 both feature multiple S -Video and composite video inputs and outputs, and automatically downconvert S -Video signals to parallel composite video output, to simplify connection options and assure connectivity with all televisions.
Along with a comprehensive array of video connections, the receivers provide an extensive complement of digital and analog audio inputs and outputs, plus dual -purpose, front -panel A/V jacks that may be switched to function either as inputs or record outputs to facilitate connecting a camcorder, portable audio product or other components for either playback or recording.
The DPR 2005 and DPR 1005 are designed for multiroom/multizone operation, and feature amplifier sections with assignable back surround channels, enabling them to be configured for either full 7.1 -channel mode, or 5.1 -channel -plus -stereo dual -zone mode. In 5.1 -channel -plus -stereo mode, for example, viewers in the main room can watch a DVD movie in 5.1 surround sound, while listeners in another room can simultaneously enjoy stereo audio from another source, such as a CD player or the receiver's tuner. Both receivers also provide separate audio preamp outputs, enabling a multizone system to be powered with external amplifiers such as the Harman Kardon PA 4000 or PA 2000.
In addition, the DPR 2005 and DPR 1005 incorporate the A -BUS Ready® system for easy multiroom connectivity without the need for external amplifiers. The A -BUS® system utilizes a standard Cat.5 Ethernet cable to connect to the receiver and to a Harman Kardon AB 1 A -BUS -compatible amplifier/control module in a remote zone; the AB1 remote module provides stereo audio amplification along with local volume control and additional functions.
The DPR 2005 and DPR 1005 both feature a bi -directional RS -232 port, enabling two -way communication between components in installations with integrated system control. In conjunction with the receivers' built -in flash -memory capacity, the RS -232 port also ensures the receivers are ready for the future by enabling software and firmware upgradeability for the addition of new surround sound formats or other capabilities.
Among the DPR 2005 and DPR 1005's additional features are a slot -mounted tuner that may be upgraded to accommodate future DAB systems such as HD Radio™, plus a Listener Preference System that allows users to set the surround mode and specific speaker -channel -level settings according to the program source and DSP format. A precision FM/AM tuner with station preset tuning and other advanced functions round out the receivers' comprehensive feature set.
Advanced Remote Control Functionality With EzSet™ Automatic Speaker Calibration
The DPR 2005 and DRP 1005 include Harman Kardon's versatile two -line LCD remote control with EzSet (patent no. 5,386,478) automatic speaker -level calibration. The preprogrammed and learning remote's highly legible LCD display and logically grouped controls provide easy operation and access to all functions, including macro programming, and the remote can be conveniently and directly programmed by using product brand names instead of code numbers. The remote's convenient volume "punch through" feature maintains volume control of the receiver even when it is being used to operate another audio/video component.
The remote incorporates Harman Kardon's EzSet feature, which provides a built -in sound -pressure -level calibration system that enables the user to automatically balance speaker -channel levels for optimum surround sound listening, regardless of the speaker complement or room conditions. Setting speaker levels is one of the most critical adjustments for proper movie -soundtrack reproduction, and the EzSet feature makes the process accurate and virtually foolproof for maximum sonic benefits. In the manual mode, the LCD display enables the remote to be used as a direct readout SPL (sound -pressure level) meter for even more precise output -level adjustment.
Striking, Distinctive Industrial Design
The receivers' advanced performance and functionality are matched by their restyled, distinctively elegant industrial design. Both feature a gloss -black upper panel, a volume control surrounded by blue illumination, a contrasting, curved drop -down silver lower panel that conceals all but the most -used controls, and a two -line dot -matrix display that can be dimmed or turned off if desired. Their design perfectly complements Harman Kardon's audio/video components and loudspeakers, as well as home entertainment systems based around plasma displays and high -tech TV sets.
The Harman Kardon DPR 2005 digital path receiver will be available in February 2004 at a suggested retail price of $1,699. The Harman Kardon DPR 1005 digital path receiver will be available in February 2004 at a suggested retail price of $1,399.

Silhouette Drawing
Have you tried silhouette drawing with your children?
This was an art idea that was inspired from the illustrations in a children's book that we've recently been enjoying entitled, "Frog and Fly" by Jeff Mack.
This book contains six slurpy stories which are easy to read and full of humour. Throughout the book, Frog always gets the better of Fly. However, in the last story, Fly has the last word.
Towards the end of the book, the illustrations depict a night scene in which the background is purple and the characters are drawn in black silhouettes.
I love getting ideas for children's drawings from picture books. As this form of illustration seemed simple, we decided to give it a go.
We started by looking at the illustrations and talking about the colours used.
- What time of the day do you think the story is set in? Why?
- Which colours has the illustrator used? Do you think the illustrations are effective? Why?
Next it was time to try and do some illustrations ourselves. We used purple paper and drew with black pastel.
Speech bubbles, as well as Fly's eyes and wings, were added by cutting them out of white paper and pasting them on. This allowed for writing to be introduced into the activity.
The boys' silhouette drawings:

text: I have been testing all of these racquets and thought I'd decided to keep the K Factor, but a guy I was playing (former college, now 5.0) with yesterday said he played with the Hyper Pro Staff 6.1 and it destroyed his arm, to the extent that he may need surgery this summer. Granted, he played in three leagues last summer so may not be the racquet. But I'm wondering, is the K Factor an arm friendly racquet? It fits Dr. Hancu's specs in every respect except stiffness, and it feels great plowing through the ball in heavy hitting. Has anyone else had problems with their arm playing the 6.1 line? Any advice appreciated. Thanks, Tony

Ten killed in explosion near Egypt's Giza pyramids
Cairo: At least 10 persons, including seven policemen, have been killed and 20 others injured in Egypt in a powerful bomb blast during a raid near the iconic pyramids of Giza.
Ten people, including seven policemen and three civilians, were killed in the explosion when they attempted to defuse a time-bomb during a raid, prosecutor Ahmed El-Tamawy was quoted as saying by Al Ahram.
The blast took place ahead of Monday's anniversary of the 2011 revolution that ousted former strongman Hosni Mubarak. A civilian who lived in the building was killed in the explosion, and two charred bodies were found inside the apartment, according to the ministry's statement.
It is yet unclear whether any of the those reportedly hiding in the apartment were injured, killed or captured.
A Lieutenant of the Central Security Forces has been killed.
In recent months, Egyptian security forces have carried out several raids on apartments where suspected or fugitive Islamists militants were reportedly either hiding or preparing for "terrorist operations". These raids have often ended with suspects killed by police, who say they were met with gunfire upon arrival at the hideouts.

|Livia took this photograph of me sculpting her.
Years ago I pored over a book by Paul Ekman called Emotions Revealed. He has analysed facial expressions throughout his career in law enforcement, and it was his work that gave rise to the tv series Lie to Me. In fact, he was a consultant for that show.
When I recall my fascination with his book today, I see that it held a future utility which I hadn't then understood. I only started figurative sculpture about six years ago and grew interested in sculptural portraiture about three years ago.
My friend Gail says that all my years of writing fiction have fed me as a sculptor. I don't quite know how they've done this, but I have a feeling she's right. So in a sense, it doesn't matter that I'm such a late bloomer.
It's amazing to have discovered such joy in sculpture this late in my life. I took it up almost by accident, when we lived in Rome. I met a sculptor, Claire Nelson, at a school fete. She had her busts of children on display and a little sign which said, "You can do this too!" So I began taking figurative sculpture classes with her at the Palacio de Venecia. I went there on the tram from Piazza del Populo, and headed up the steps of Mussolini's palace, through the galleries and down corridors to a sculpture studio and here I found a new creativity which has become one of the most rewarding and nourishing things in my life.
I want to say that we should never underestimate the ability of life to surprise us, to open up new doors and teach us about ourselves, to change how we view and interpret the world.
How could I spend hours last weekend trying to capture the muscles in the corner of Livia's mouth? Why did it not seem an utter waste of time! Why was it so fascinating to me, actually not just fascinating, but deeply gratifying!
Today I hollowed out the finished bust. It's a funny process. You take off the top of the head with a wire and scoop out the clay inside, so that the piece won't be so heavy - and so that when you fire it, it won't blow up in the kiln. It feels a little creepy, looking down at the face as you scoop clay out of the top of the head.
I can trace my initial interest in sculpture to my girlhood in Surbiton, where a sculptor lived across the road. Her name was Rose Deering. I was fascinated by her studio. It resonated for me. But her work seemed far beyond me and I didn't know how to articulate my longing, nor would I necessarily have defined it as a longing to try my hand at sculpture too. I suppose I was right. Because it was decades into my future before I would begin to do just that.
Perhaps we should trust our early longings and our earliest purest instincts. After all, we are going to be learning who we are up until we die!

Oil prices at three month lows By Mr. Prathamesh Mallya - Angel Broking
Below is the views on Oil prices at three month lows By Mr. Prathamesh Mallya (Chief Analyst- Non-Agri Commodities & Currencies, Angel Broking)
"Oil prices which have been trading in a narrow range of $3 for most of 2017 has finally been taken off as prices declined heavily in the past two trading days of the last fortnight. The supply side dynamics in oil markets have ensured that bears have taken the prices down to the 3 month lows. High oil inventories in the US at around 528 million barrels, increasing rig counts in the US, and stronger dollar index are push factors for oil prices correction in recent times.
Speculative positioning of fund managers also indicates liquidation which is a sign of further bearishness in the oil counter. We expect this fall to continue further towards $46 mark (CMP$49.56/bbl) in the coming trading sessions. In the Indian markets (CMP: Rs.3310/bbl), a fall of Rs.150-200 will be expected as the price can move down lower towards Rs.3100/bbl mark."

NFL Free Agency: Best Fits for Derrick MasonJuly 25, 2011
NFL Free Agency: Best Fits for Derrick Mason
Well the lockout has been lifted for less than a day and already the wheels of free agency are turning. In a stunning move the Ravens are releasing veterans Todd Heap, Kelly Gregg, Willis McGahee and Derrick Mason.
The releases of Gregg and McGahee are not particularly surprising as both were starting to slow down and it was clear near the end of last year that they might not be long for the team.
Out of the three, Derrick Mason seems the most desirable. He is coming off a season with 61 receptions, 802 yards and seven touchdowns and seems to have a couple of more productive seasons left in the tank.
Many teams in the league would benefit from a veteran wide receiver who can mentor a young rising star, while some teams may just want him as the missing piece to win now. Whoever gets him will be getting a great player though, and he may end up being the most overlooked free agent of 2011.
Derrick Mason has been great for the Ravens. The model of consistency, he has had four 1,000-yard seasons since joining the team in 2005.
He has made many great plays and has played with heart and courage. Many Ravens fans want him back and maybe the Ravens' management does too.
It is possible that the Ravens will re-sign Mason to a cheaper contract later in free agency. This doesn't seem likely to be, but it is a possibility.
Of all the accomplishments Derrick Mason has accomplished, a Super Bowl ring is not among them.
That's where the Patriots come in.
Over the years Patriots have signed veterans, such as Randy Moss and Corey Dillion, who have come in and made a difference on some great playoff teams.
Derrick Mason could come in and continue this tradition, as he would complement the current Patriots receivers nicely.
The Redskins are always big players on the free agent market and this year looks to be no different.
The Redskins are looking to add a wide receiver and since they are known to overpay for free agents, if they target Mason he may not be able to resist the cash.
It doesn't seem likely to me though; the Redskins probably want someone younger and with a bigger name.
One of the main weaknesses for the Bears last year was wide receiver play. Earl Bennett, Johnny Knox and Devin Hester just didn't get the job done the way the Bears hoped they would.
Looking to win now, the Bears are hoping to add a veteran wide receiver and they have been linked to Randy Moss, Sydney Rice, Braylon Edwards and Santonio Holmes.
Mason might be the best deal of the bunch. He will be cheaper than any of the others and is a safer bet than Moss, but I still feel the Bears will go younger than Mason.
Derrick Mason started his career as a Titan and was one of the most popular and productive players on the team.
Now he is a free agent and the Titans are coincidentally looking for a wide receiver to complement and mentor Kenny Britt.
I think it is a perfect fit, but the Titans have other more pressing issues to take care of in free agency so finding the money and time to sign a receiver might not happen.

Also with cafepress you can design your own and they can make it and send it to you...so if you do get someone to make a design for you you can upload it and have it made for you (I think)....

We aren't to give a baby milk, berries, or peanut butter. We are to introduce new foods one at a time. But it's OK to inject several viruses, bacteria, aluminum, formaldehyde, phenoxyethanol, animal serum, mercury, squalene and more into an 8 week old? I don't think so.
In order to be healthy it is an unfortunate fact that people must be allowed the opportunity to be ill. I trust my body and those of my children to work correctly against the relatively benign diseases they vax for, and do not trust the ingredients in the vaccinations.
Our choice to not vax isn't based in ignorance, poverty, conspiracy theory and rumor. It's research, common sense, fact and evidence based..something the medical community has largely forgot about.

Celebrity : How Entertainers Took Over The World and Why We Need an Exit Strategy Paperback
by Marina Hyde
These days, entertainers no longer just entertain: they advocate dubious 'religions', work for the United Nations, get face-time with heads of state and monopolise problems they are infinitely qualified to solve - problems like Africa, the Middle East, and AIDS.
We stand at the beginning of a bright new chapter in human history.
Feast your eyes, then, on Sharon Stone's peace mission to Israel, on a world where Angelina Jolie advises on the Iraqi reconstruction effort or Charlie Sheen analyses 9/11, and in which Jude Law's attempts to establish contact with the Taliban are reported without irony.
Celebrity is a roadmap, a survivalist's guide, a Rosetta Stone for our times: without a copy you are not equipped to engage with the world...

Review by Booksloth
I thought this was a fabulous book - funny, readable, bitchy, yet with some massively serious points to make.Why do we have to have Tom Cruise's opinion on everything from the starving masses to some woman's post-natal depression? Who thinks that just because someone is known for removing their clothes in public, they also have something worthwhile to say about cancer research? At best, these 'vox pops' are annoying; at worst they are outright dangerous. Not only are they almost always ill-informed but they take important air-time from the real experts who actually know something about the subject. Many (though not all) are well-meaning but they are almost always misdirected.One example the book quotes is of Sharon Stone's spur of the moment and emotion-fuelled attempt to raise money for mosquito nets to be used in Tanzania. The actress leapt to her feet in the middle of the 2005 World Economic Forum, after an emotive speech had been made on the subject, and urged the other celebrities present to pledge cash for nets. Sadly, she knew nothing about what was really going on in Tanzania at the time - the fact that free nets that were already being distributed were in fact being sold on the black market by those who received them to buy luxuries instead.When the money that came in from her appeal, which should have been a pledged $1,000,000, turned out to be only a quarter of that amount, Unicef was forced to make up the shortfall, thus diverting money from other, more important schemes.For anyone who, like me, suspects it is time someone told these 'celebs' to sit down, shut up and leave the serious stuff to those who have spent their lives working on it, this book is a must.

Risks Of Smallpox Vaccinations
November 27, 2002
Should all Americans have the choice to receive smallpox inoculations? Or is widespread smallpox vaccinations a reckless idea?
Most Americans say (59 percent in a May 2002 poll) they would take the smallpox vaccine if it were offered, even after hearing that the disease was eradicated from nature decades ago and that the vaccine carries major risks.
However, the vaccine is not much improved from the one introduced in 1796, say experts.
- It consists of a live vaccinia virus, a close relative of smallpox, and has little in common with much safer modern vaccines.
- The vaccine can cause several severe side effects, including widespread infection of mucous membranes and the brain, and is expected to kill one to three out of every million people vaccinated.
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now recommends against giving the smallpox vaccine to anyone under age 18 unless an emergency already exists.
Some of the risks of smallpox vaccination are unknown. For example, drug companies are developing poxvirus-based vaccines against HIV, as well as therapies to fight many cancers. But Joanna Shisler, a University of Illinois virologist who works with smallpox vaccines, warns that those who receive the smallpox vaccine will develop a long-term immunity that will interfere with these newer poxvirus-based treatments.
Also, widespread smallpox vaccinations may cause substantial shortages in the U.S. blood supply if bloodbanks must wait before accepting blood from donors who have received smallpox inoculations.
In June, the panel of vaccine experts that advises the CDC recommended that the vaccine not be offered to the general population, particularly given the "low" probability of terrorists using smallpox.
Better to immunize only hospital workers and first-responders, say experts, then vaccinate more widely if an actual case is found.

How to claim thousands of euro back from the taxman
In the second of a four-part series on shaking up your finances, Louise McBride looks at tax and welfare entitlements
IF you're one of the hundreds of thousands of taxpayers not claiming your full tax reliefs, you could be losing out on thousands of euro a year. A few simple steps can get you back on the right track.
If you or any of your family have been to hospital or the doctor in the last four years, you could get back hundreds if not thousands of euro in tax relief, depending on how hefty your medical bills are.
Some of the medical expenses you can get tax relief on include doctors' and consultants' fees, drugs and medicine prescribed by a doctor or consultant, speech and language therapy, and ambulance transport.
Before 2009 kicked in, you could claim back 41 per cent of medical expenses in tax relief -- however, since January 2009, you can only claim back 20 per cent.
You do not necessarily have to be working to be eligible for tax relief on medical expenses. If you have other earnings and you're paying tax on them, you will usually qualify for tax relief. So if, for example, you're retired but getting a pension on which you are paying tax, you should be entitled to tax relief on medical expenses.
As you can claim tax relief for the last four years, you can get tax relief at the standard rate of income tax (20 per cent) for medical bills paid for in 2009, and at the higher rate of income tax (41 per cent) for bills paid in 2006, 2007 and 2008.
You cannot claim tax relief for medical expenses which are covered by your insurer or which have, or will be, covered by compensation.
With mortgage interest relief to be completely abolished by the end of 2017, make sure you're getting back any tax relief you're entitled to between now and then.
If you're a first-time buyer, you could claim back up to €2,500 a year in tax relief (€5,000 if married) on the interest paid for the first two years of your mortgage. In the third, fourth and fifth year of your mortgage, the tax relief could put up to €2,250 a year (€4,500 if married) back in your pocket; in the sixth and seventh year, you can claim back up to €2,000 a year (€4,000 if married). This means that over seven years, first-time buyers could claim back up to €15,750 in mortgage interest relief.
If you're not a first-time buyer, mortgage interest relief is worth up to €450 a year to you (€900 if married).
Remember, mortgage interest relief is not restricted to loans taken out to finance the purchase of your home. If you take out a loan to repair or renovate your home, or to build a driveway or path for your home, you can also claim the relief. If you take out a mortgage to buy a home for a former or separated spouse, or if you have a dependent relative, you will usually qualify for the relief so long as you provide the accommodation rent-free.
If you're selling your home to buy another one, and use a bridging loan to finance this transaction, you can usually claim tax relief on the first 12 months of interest paid on the loan.
Although you cannot claim mortgage interest relief for investment properties, you can claim most of the mortgage interest as an expense against the rent received from that property.
If you work for yourself and have a family, you could save thousands of euro in tax by hiring your spouse and children.
Let's say for example you're self-employed as a sole trader and make an annual profit of €50,000. You're married with two children in their teens and your wife does not earn any income herself. Normally, your tax bill (including PRSI and levies) for the year comes to €10,400, according to Cathal Maxwell, managing director of the tax saving website, paylesstax.ie. However, you could reduce this bill to €3,400 if you pay each of your children a salary of €9,150, your wife a salary of €15,000, and a profit of €16,700 to yourself, says Maxwell.
Nursing home fees are one of the few medical expenses where you can still claim tax relief at your higher rate of income tax.
So if you're paying €1,000 a month to send your mother or father to a nursing home this year, and you're a PAYE worker paying 41 per cent tax, you could claim back about €4,920 in tax relief for the fees paid in 2010 alone. As you can claim tax relief for the last four years if you've paid your mum's nursing home fees since 2006, and the monthly fees have consistently been about €1,000, you could also claim a refund of almost €20,000 for the last four years.
The days of having your PRSI cover the cost of painful fillings and teeth cleaning are now gone -- since the beginning of this month, your PRSI only covers the cost of a dental check up.
However, the benefit (which also extends to free eye tests) shouldn't be sniffed at. A check-up at your dentist could set you back between €70 and €90 if you're not covered by PRSI, while an eye test could cost more than €30.
If you're aged 66 or more and qualify for a full or reduced state pension (or you satisfy a means test), you may be entitled to a free television licence, and an allowance for your telephone, electricity and gas.
If you think you qualify, these benefits are available from the Department of Social and Family Affairs under the household benefits package.
If you live on Donegal's Tory Island or Galway's Inishmore and you're getting the state pension, make sure you're getting your island allowance.
The island allowance -- paid to those living on certain offshore islands -- will add an extra €12.70 a week (or €660 a year) to your pension.

Owned since new?
Owned for how long?
2 year(s)
Buy this make again?
Price and equipment10.0/10
Although more expensive than its competitors, for its age - this car holds it own.
Under the bonnet10.0/10
The 2 Litre V6 makes this car a real pocket rocket - with plenty of punch.
How it drives10.0/10
Excellent turning circle and manoeuvreability allows you to park in those parks passed up by many. Who thought shopping could be so easy?
Comfort and practicality10.0/10
This car has everything you could want except the drink holder - but we are taught never to drink and drive so keep your shirt on. It's got CD, radio, alarm, electric windows and mirrors and spunk to boot! The seats hug the curves of your back for superb support and comfort on those long drives.
Servicing and running costs10.0/10
If you look after the vehicle you will have minimal maintenance costs. Although a V6, it costs less than $50 bucks to fill and that lasts between 450-500 kilometres. Not bad in these times of expensive fuel prices.
Aesthetics and styling10.0/10
This car is chic. The slender design beats all hatchbacks hands down. This car is style with a capital S.
Safety and security8.0/10
The only thing this car really lacks is sufficient lighting. If only I listened to my mother and ate all those carrots, then I too could drive comfortably at night. No honestly the headlights lack significantly. It's best to implement some new and improved lighting with this one when you get the chance.
Quality and reliability10.0/10
As a 12 year old car you really can't complain. The car is quality built and reliable something not even a Commodore can live up to.
Overall verdict10.0/10
I love my car. She has her own identity and listen up - red truly does go faster. If you're after a car with sleek design that won't destroy your budget look no further than the Mazda Astina 323 2.0 lite V6. Yes you can truly have it all. Smart design, great fuel economy and even enough room for those fishing rods and camping equipment. Other hatchbacks don't even compete. This compact beauty really is the cherry on top!

1979 election could be one reason Dallas goes bankrupt
A potential $4 billion judgment that could be responsible for helping bankrupt the City of Dallas stems from a little-remembered 1979 election. Mayor Mike Rawlings told a state board on Thursday that the judgment combined with the pension crisis could bankrupt the city.
The lawsuit that dates all the way back to an election in 1979, when police officers and fire fighters demanded if their bosses got a raise they would get one too.
Attorney Ted Lyon, who represents the police and fire fighters in the massive class action lawsuit, says the city could avoid a big judgment by responding to a request to settle. Lyon says he never got a response from the city for an invitation to go to mediation.
Lyon, a former state lawmaker, remembers helping guide police officers and fire fighters to get the referendum on the ballot.
"The ballot language was fixed so you couldn't give a raise to the chief and assistant chief and not give a raise to the patrolmen on the street. That's what it was all about," Lyon said.
The public safety employees turned in more than 75,000 signatures to force a special election. The raises passed by a wide margin. But years later, some fire fighters learned that fire chiefs had been getting raises while they had not.
Rawlings said the pay raise formula only applied to 1979.
"Citizens approved a one-time raise for police officers," Rawlings said.
But Lyon points the words "shall maintain."
"Shall be maintained means, shall be maintained," Lyon said.
In a city document, officials admit, "No one in personnel had knowledge of the 1979 referendum because of turnover."
Attorney Marcos Ronquillo, who represents many municipalities but is not involved in the case, said the city is delaying the inevitable.
"It's sort of like delaying your credit card payment. If you lose, you owe 4 billion plus interest," Ronquillo said, who also ran for mayor in 2015. "We continue to kick the can down the road, those dollars because of interest increase."
Little did anyone know that police officers and firefighters would still be trying to benefit from their victory 37 years later. The sister lawsuit to the case is set for trial next spring.

Teaching an Online Course
The best way to ensure the success of your online course and students is to actually be in the course space
frequently so you can provide feedback and answer questions. Online students do not always know when
they will hear from their instructor. So read the interaction policy on your syllabus and update it as needed,
before the course begins, through Course Verification.
In addition, students want to know who you are, what you're like. They want to know that there is a person behind
the curtain, so write with a personal voice, give a call, schedule a synchronous live chat with individual students
or the entire class, whatever it takes to let them know you are involved and engaged.
Can't remember how to add a forum or document to your course space? We've got handy documents for you to review any time, day or night! Check them out here.

MOTORISTS in Lagos State are currently groaning under the harsh condition occasioned by scarcity of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), otherwise known as petrol, spreading across the state.
Investigation by the Nigerian Tribune revealed that most petrol stations are under lock and key, while the few operating ones are selling for between N110 and N120 per litre.
Some mega stations of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) were out of stock, while few with petrol were also selling at between N100 and N110 per litre.
The scarcity, according to the South-West chairman of the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), Tokunbo Korodo, was due to the non-repair of damaged System 2B at Arepo pipeline.
He said scarcity in Lagos and other south-western states may persist until the vandalised pipeline was repaired.
Meanwhile, the controller of the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) in Lagos, Mr Gbenga Koku, told the Nigerian Tribune on Tuesday that the long queues that resurfaced within Lagos metropolis may be attributed to panic buying, as Eid-el-Kabir approached.
He said the DPR had no mandate to ensure availability of petrol at stations, but to ensure they did not hoard products or sell at above recommended retail price.
When the Nigerian Tribune visited the Apapa depot, it was discovered that marketers were buying at a rate above the recommended depot price of N94.50k.
According to a source who preferred anonymity, the demand for refined products was greater than the available supplies.
In Kano, fuel scarcity across the state had forced many petrol stations to adjust pump price to N130 per litre.
This was just as the price of four litres of fuel at black market sold for between N700 and N750.
Investigation conducted by the Nigerian Tribune indicated that as a result of the scarcity, transport fare had also increased.
Most petrol stations in the state capital were under lock and key, while petrol attendant had gone on casual leave.
Calls put to NNPC spokesman, Mr Fidel Pepple, were not answered as of press time.

Chiang Rai Province is the northernmost province of Thailand. As the province is at the very top of Thailand, it borders Myanmar and Laos. The close proximity to these countries has allowed the cultures to influence the province of Chiang Rai.
The province is average sized and is home to approximately 1,130,000 citizens. There are an abundance of different people from the different cultures from the surrounding countries, and the rest of Thailand obviously. The provincial capital, also named Chiang Rai is a honey pot of mixed races and mixed language citizens. Arriving by plane really is a joy when flying into the nearest airport to Chiang Rai. 'Mae Fah Luang-Chiang International Airport' is only 8km from the city centre, so really isn't far. Flights are available from all parts of Thailand.
The Mekong river, although not the biggest river, runs through the centre of the provincial capital, and is home to many hill-tribes along its banks. The Mekong links to other rivers such as the Mae Rim Valley River and acts as a carrier river. It has an amazing and fascinating mix of colours that varies between locations. Chiang Rai city lies 565 metres (1885 feet) above sea level in a large fertile valley. Along the valley there's an abundance of wildlife and vegetation of all different kinds. The river banks are lined with trees. The cool refreshing climate is a favourite of local Thai people and of world travellers alike.
There is a very famous and popular night market with a more subdued atmosphere than that of the bustling city centre of the provincial capital and the other cities and towns in Chiang Rai Province. Surprisingly, the pollution levels around the night time market are very low, some of the lowest levels in the whole of Thailand in fact. Local sellers are given special precedence in the market to sell their wares to the weary travellers. The market is not for from the city centre of Chiang Rai, and if you don't want to walk you can always take a ride on a local form of transport, such as the Tuk-Tuk.
Hill tribe fabrics, beads, needlework, and silver dominates the city and whole province of Chiang Rai. There are many food courts in Chiang Rai city, selling a number of northern Thai dishes, and Asian dishes. Day time and night time snacks are available. Or, you can go into one of many pubs and just relax, enjoy the city, and people watch.
Local Thai people and expats really are friendly and welcoming in Chiang Rai. The Thai people will show you their legendary charm and will always be there for you, just to have a chat with, or to help you if you are in need of it.
There are many adventure and health resorts in the province of Chiang Rai. You can take a relaxing break to forget the world and your problems at home, or you can take an adventure break, taking elephant treks along the rivers and in the forests.

The Story of Poker
By James McManus
Farrar Straus Giroux. 516 pp. $30
Whether it's because of the post-Bear Stearns economy or the headache induced by watching Jennifer Tilly on Bravo's "Celebrity Poker Showdown," poker seems waaaay 2006 right now. But the mid-aughts poker boom hasn't gone bust, judging by the record participation in the 2009 World Series of Poker. Texas Hold 'Em, the game James McManus's 2003 memoir, "Positively Fifth Street," brought out of the cardrooms and into the streets, is more popular than ever. In fact, McManus argues in his new book that bluffing, raising, sandbagging and risking everything in the hope of winning more are still part of "American DNA."
"My goal is to show how the story of poker helps to explain who we are," McManus writes. He tracks the evolution of poque, a French parlor-game that made landfall in 19th-century New Orleans, from Mississippi steamboats to Civil War battlefields to American kitchen tables, the White House and the Internet. This scattershot history makes tenuous connections between card games and war games -- "Parallels between poker and nuclear showdowns are never neat," McManus concedes. But the author is a reliable guide to a pastime that, as poker players form lobbying organizations and Rep. Barney Frank advocates the legalization of online gambling, seems less like subculture than culture. After all, if Ben Affleck can become California's poker champion, why shouldn't we all be able to ante up?
-- Justin Moyer

Today there are elections here in California as well as New Jersey, Virginia and many large cities are holding there citywide elections.
Today voters in California have the opportunity to terminate Arnold's plan which is already costing the state $50+million. His special election is an unfunded mandate to all local and counties statewide. Never mind the fact that the mid-term primaries are just 5 months away. I hope all of his ideas go down to defeat.
Here's how I voted.
Proposition 73 (Waiting Period For Termination of Pregnancy)—NO
Proposition 74 (Teacher Tenure)—NO
Proposition 75 (Union Dues Restrictions)—NO
Proposition 76 (Increase Governor's Power To Cut Spending)—NO
Proposition 77 (Arnold's Redistricting Plan)—NO
Proposition 78 (Industry Backed Drug Discount Plan)—NO
Proposition 79 (Consumer & Health Care Groups' Drug Discount Plan)—YES
Proposition 80 (Partial Re-Regulation of Utilities)—YES
Proposition H (Handgun Ban)—No Position
Proposition I (Limit Military Recruiters In Schools)—YES
Two controversial citywide initiatives.
I know I am on the losing end on this one but I think as citywide ban on legal hand gun sales is a dumb idea that hasn't worked in any other city. It's nothing more than just feel-good politics.
The other is to place restrictions on military recruiters at our high schools. I am enthusiastically supporting this measure which will pass by a landslide.

United States
Circumstantial evidence suggests that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad may have provoked an incident involving the United States -- specifically, the recent jailing of Iranian-American journalist Roxana Saberi -- in a twisted effort to promote a rapprochement with Washington.
After spending four months in an Iranian prison on espionage charges, Saberi was freed and left Iran on May 15. She is now recovering from the ordeal in Vienna. She announced upon her arrival in the Austrian capital that she would not immediately comment on her four months in Iranian custody.
Inside Iran, the case continues to be a source of conjecture. With the country's June 12 presidential election fast approaching, some see the whole Saberi episode as a stunt perpetrated by Ahmadinejad to give his reelection chances a boost. That notion is being pushed hardest by one of his presidential challengers, Mohsen Rezai. An Iranian news website with close ties to Rezai, Tabnak, published reports that strongly hinted that Ahmadinejad was striving to score a diplomatic coup that would help deflect the attention of the Iranian electorate away from the fact that his administration has made a mess of the country's economy. [For background see the Eurasia Insight archive].
The PR coup that Ahmadinejad hoped to achieve was paving the way for US-Iranian rapprochement, Tabnak suggested. In an apparent attempt to lend credence to this scenario, the website reported that just days prior to Saberi's release from custody that "an assistant of [US Secretary of State] Hillary Clinton gave a letter to a deputy of [Iranian Foreign Minister) Manouchehr Motaki." The report did not specify the contents of the letter, but said it played a significant role in winning Saberi's release.
Another website, Shahabnews, which is controlled by moderate conservatives who tend to be disgruntled with Ahmadinejad's policies, reported that when state security agents searched Saberi's apartment, they found classified documents produced by the Center for Strategic Studies in Tehran, an outfit that operates under the auspices of the president's office. How Saberi obtained the documents remains unclear. She worked as an occasional translator for the Expediency Council, but it is unlikely that Saberi would have had access to such material there. Some experts have hinted that presidential operatives may have, in effect, planted the documents on her, or at least made it easy for her to gain access to them. Saberi and her lawyers did not dispute the reports that she possessed classified documents.
On May 19, Alireza Jamshidi, a spokesman for Iran's judiciary, said at a weekly news briefing that the person who had passed the classified material to Saberi had been identified, and that person would soon appear in court. Jamshidi did not identify the suspect, however, according to a report distributed by the Fars news agency.
Some Iranian experts suspect that the president's office had some sort of role in Saberi's arrest precisely because Ahmadinejad emerged as a high-profile advocate for her release. Prior to attending a UN anti-racism conference in Geneva in mid-April, Ahmadinejad issued a public call for clemency. And following bilateral talks, Swiss President Hans-Rudolf Merz recalled that "Ahmadinejad made it clear that the case was disagreeable to him."
The suspicion among many in Tehran is that Ahmadinejad was trying to gain Washington's favor by claiming credit for securing Saberi's freedom. And somehow Ahmadinejad hoped to parlay that favor into political capital that would help him on election day.
Even if such a scenario does not explain the motives behind the Saberi affair, there were irregularities surrounding her case that suggest it was the subject of an unusual degree of behind-the-scenes jockeying in Tehran.
According to an Iranian lawyer with inside knowledge on how the Iranian judiciary handles political or national security-related crimes, Saberi's case was from the start riddled with inconsistencies. "The whole thing was atypical of the way Iranian judiciary normally operates," the lawyer said. "The part of the legal system that deals with political offences may not be fair, or just in its conduct, but it is quite consistent procedure-wise."
The most glaring indicator of funny business surrounding the case was the fact that on April 14 a judiciary spokesman announced Saberi's trial would start in two weeks, or on April 28. However, five days later, the same spokesman stated that Saberi had already been convicted and sentenced to an eight-year prison term.
The lawyer also pointed out that Saberi was originally convicted under Article 508 of the criminal code, which covers collaboration "with a state at war with the Islamic Republic of Iran." But the Appeals Court ruling that enabled her to be set free was grounded in Article 505, which covers possession of "classified information for the purpose of passing it on to a hostile power." In addition, the Appeals Court decision to reduce Saberi's jail term to two years, and suspend the sentence, is widely considered unprecedented in its leniency.
Whatever the reason for Saberi's arrest and subsequent release, it seems highly unlikely that it was a straight case of espionage.

1. Communication in the Green Bay Packers' secondary: It's true that Packers defensive backs made three of the most critical plays in Sunday's victory over the San Diego Chargers. Safety Charlie Peprah and cornerback Tramon Williams each returned interceptions for touchdowns, and Peprah added a second interception to clinch the game with 14 seconds remaining. But anyone who has watched the Packers' pass defense has seen a number of blown coverages in recent weeks, be it on Michael Jenkins' 72-yard reception for the Minnesota Vikings in Week 7 or Vincent Jackson's 38-yard play Sunday for the Chargers. With each instance, we learn more about the value of injured safety Nick Collins, who has made most of the positioning calls for the Packers in recent seasons.
2. Clarity in the Detroit Lions' backfield: On several occasions, the Lions have downplayed their modest running game totals by noting how explosive they've been via the air. It's a fair point, and it's not worth obsessing over their running game as we move into the second half of the season. With that said, Monday's return of tailback Kevin Smith makes you wonder exactly what is in store for the backfield moving forward. Was it a sign that starter Jahvid Best's return is far from guaranteed? Is Smith just extra insurance for the people ahead of him, a list that includes Maurice Morris and Keiland Williams? Or are the Lions like the rest of us -- unsure where this is all headed -- and making sure they are fortified for each contingency?
3. High-mindedness in Minnesota: Sure, it sounded like a tough plan in theory for the Minnesota Vikings to release cornerback Chris Cook. He has been charged with a particularly infuriating crime, felony strangulation of his girlfriend, and the Vikings would have gotten a public relations boost in some areas had they cut their losses. But let's get real for a moment. Rare is the NFL team that will justify releasing a 24-year-old cornerback who was making substantial progress this season because of an untried legal issue. Cook's next court date isn't until Nov. 22. In the meantime, the Vikings have given Cook a paid vacation to get himself straight. I can't blame them.
1. Brian Urlacher, Chicago Bears linebacker: There were plenty of heroes in the effort to limit Philadelphia Eagles stars Michael Vick, LeSean McCoy and DeSean Jackson in Monday night's victory. Linebacker Lance Briggs, for one, played an inspired game. But Urlacher seemed to be running all over the field all night, collecting 10 solo tackles and tipping two passes. Vick managed 33 rushing yards and McCoy only 71 -- of which 33 came on one play. What you saw Monday night was a 33-year-old Urlacher playing the way he did when he was 23. An impressive effort, not to mention a lot of 33s.
2. Aaron Rodgers, Packers quarterback: Rodgers could be a staple in this feature, but we try to save him for special occasions. In this case, Rodgers capped his MVP first half with a number of accomplishments worth noting. First, his 64-yard pass Sunday to receiver Jordy Nelson was one of the best throws I've seen him make. Rolling to his right, Rodgers didn't have time to set his feet and simply flung the ball about 55 yards in the air. Second, that pass helped elevate Rodgers' completion percentage on throws of 20 or more yards downfield to 65.2 percent this season. That's a better completion percentage than all but three NFL quarterbacks have on all of their throws. Amazing.
3. Earl Bennett, Bears receiver: How much different did the Bears' offense look with Bennett back after a nearly two-month absence? He caught all five of the passes quarterback Jay Cutler threw him Monday night, totaling 95 yards and what amounted to the winning touchdown. It's long been established that Cutler loves throwing to him, but Monday you saw why: Bennett is tough, sure-handed and reliable in clutch situations. Other than tailback Matt Forte, you really couldn't say that about any other Bears skill position player this season.

The Revs. Christopher and Carrie Klukas have made Ascension their church home and have served as Liturgical Assistants since June 2015. Carrie did her undergraduate degree at the University of Pittsburgh and was part of the college ministry staff at Ascension during that time. Later, Carrie discerned her call to priestly ministry through Ascension and worked here as a summer intern as part of her seminary formation. In 2005, Chris and Carrie were married at Ascension.
When the couple finished their degrees at Nashotah House Theological Seminary in Wisconsin, they returned to Pittsburgh so Chris could be the Rector at St. Martin's Anglican Church in Monroeville, where he served for five years. During this time, Chris was also the Priest in Charge of our Diocesan "Happening" youth retreat. Carrie has served on the diocesan staff, as the Priest in Charge of Church of the Advent in Brookline, and as the Priest in Charge of St. Thomas and St. Luke in Patton, PA.
In 2011, Chris left St. Martin's to join the staff of Trinity School for Ministry where he still serves as the Director of Communications and Publishing. He edits the Trinity School for Ministry Advent and Lenten Devotionals which many of you have used! Carrie homeschools their four children, Kieran (7), Elizabeth (5), Hannah (3), and Joseph (1). As a family, they enjoy cooking, gardening, and hiking. Chris and Carrie both love encouraging couples in their marriages and teaching them to raise their children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
"We are both so excited to be back among our friends at Ascension" the couple remarked. "We are looking forward to working alongside all of you as we labor together for the sake of the Gospel."
