One thing I've learned over the years after being a part of so many weddings, is that a lot of time goes into making a wedding everything you want it to be. From organising your dress to finding a venue, from sorting travel arrangements to invitations, there's a lot to do and plan for.
Creating wedding florals means that I get to be one of the "fun" parts of a bride's checklist, and it's one of the things I love about what I do. Beautiful blooms can be a real highlight of a wedding because they are not only there to add ambiance and decor, but they tie all of the styling details together. There is also the chance to include a favourite or sentimental bloom or perhaps the blooms you have for your wedding will become your favourites.
Last year, I began a collaboration with photographic artist Virginia Woods-Jack to create one-off pieces of art that capture the beauty of the flowers a bride chooses for her special day. Some brides I know have dried their arrangements or attempted to press blooms either from their bouquet or a buttonhole, but it's hard to keep the colours vivid and make something that will last.
Virginia had been working on a botanical series and had the idea to create something that would be really special and stand the test of time and asked me if this could be done with wedding florals. After putting our heads together on how we could do this, what would it look like and how we could create an heirloom for people to cherish, we launched Botanical Harmony. For each commission we create individual works of art from wedding flowers so that when the dust settles the newly married couple can hang a contemporary botanical keepsake that marks their wedding day and be reminded of their special day.
Both Virginia and I have loved putting our creative hands into this collaboration. I am looking forward to August / September because my own wedding blooms will be in season and as it's our 10th wedding anniversary approaching, Mr Edwards and I are treating ourselves to a retrospective Botanical Harmony series of prints as our gift to each other.
You can come and see me at 9A Tory Street in Wellington, to have a look at some examples I have on the wall, or talk to me about your own commission.
Virginia also has some of her New Botanicals work on sale through the Poi Rooms in Auckland or her own website www.virginiawoods-jack.com.

As I got to know Syun Contemporary Japanese Restaurant at Resort World Sentosa is serving set lunch, I decided to take a walk to Sentosa for lunch at Syun.
I like the entrance to the restaurant. It has much tranquility and it really resembles a small Japanese lodge.
There are two main categories for lunch, Sushi Roll Set or Jyu Box Set. For the Sushi Roll set it comes with Green Salad Yuzu Ginger Dressing, Steamed Egg Custard and Udon Kansai Style while the Jyu Box Set includes Miso Soup, Kailan and Tofu, Steamed Egg Custard and Green Salad Yuzu Ginger Dressing .
I have a hard time deciding which I wanted as all looks so good but since I have tried none so I just went ahead with the Syun Premium Roll.
First dish served was the Green Salad Yuzu Ginger Dressing. It has a nice Yuzu fragrance but some portion of the salad was a little too sour while the other wasn't. The Ginger flavour was very subtle. It was certainly refreshing.
Very quickly, the rest of the food were served. All the food looked equally delish and I didn't know which to start.
The Syun Premium Roll has Yellow tail and Salmon Sashimi, Crab stick, cucumber, Omelette, Pickle and Avocado. This light cater mainly for the light tastebud. The wasabi likewise wasn't shocking at all.
Surprisingly, the egg custard was so good. It was smooth and flavourful. There isn't much ingredients in the egg, interestingly, there was lily bulb in it. I am not a Steamed Egg Custard fan though I like eggs but I really enjoyed it very much.
Lastly, I have the Udon Kansai. When I saw the noodles, I didn't find it looked like Udon at all. It looked like Linguine. Forget about the look, the noodle was extremely smooth. This is another light dish.
I took a look at the Dinner Menu too and it was pretty interesting, especially the chef's signature, the Sea Urchin Rolled by Wagyu Beef. It sounded so awesome. I am going to try soon.
The restaurant is located at Festive Walk but it is not that easy to find the restaurant. To help my reader to find the restaurant, here are some direction. The Festive Walk is located between the Festive Hotel and the Hotel Michael. Try to spot for "Oaisis" when you are at the Lake of Dreams. Once you see that, climb the steps of stairs and you will see Syun on your left.

SAN JOSE, California -- As thousands wrapped around three downtown blocks in front of the San Jose Convention Center, struggling to get into TwitchCon 2018, attendees couldn't help but notice large banners advertising the biggest trend in competitive gaming: battle royale.
Arguably the most-viewed game genre on Twitch in recent months, battle royale games have made developers excited about the opportunity to capitalize on a major gaming trend. Activision, Epic Games and Bluehole set up not only a showdown online for users, but one that was visible across a three-block radius in downtown San Jose.
All three differed. Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout, released less than two weeks prior, sat center stage in a four-heat, 16-streamer showdown in the main hall of the convention center. To the south of the convention center's main walls, the Fortnite Hall occupied the majority of a 38,000-square-foot tent, featuring themed mini golf, food and drinks, photo opportunities and the conclusion of the Fall Skirmish series. In the City National Civic across the street, HP Omen hosted a streamer showdown in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds with military-style banners and equipment decorating the exterior.
Fortnite, the frontrunner of the three, which has made a significant cultural impact outside of gaming across traditional sports and entertainment, brought a multimillion-dollar budget to the table. Epic created a mini Fortnite amusement park experience, filled with blue walls and faux green turf and littered with children and teenagers -- a younger demographic than Blackout or PUBG. For the main competitive event, Fortnite pitted 100 players against one another. Players were separate from the audience, held in a secure area that was viewable to the audience through a large window.
Over the course of the three days, Fortnite averaged around 65,000 concurrent viewers per day across Twitch, YouTube and Facebook, according to streaming analytics platform Arsenal.gg. Blackout and its Doritos Bowl -- which included a main stream and 16 simul-streams from those competing in the event -- averaged 133,933 concurrent viewers on Saturday. Meanwhile, PUBG's Broadcaster Royale averaged 11,814 concurrent viewers per day from Friday to Saturday.
Many of the competitions' participants overlapped. Tyler "Ninja" Blevins, the most popular streamer on Twitch, and Jack "CouRage" Dunlop competed in both the Doritos Bowl and participated in Fortnite festivities over the weekend. Former Counter-Strike pro Michael "Shroud" Grzesiek took part in the PUBG Broadcaster Royale, and also led his team to win the Doritos Bowl.
"A lot of [deciding what to participate in] comes down to just that, scheduling," CouRage told ESPN. "I have certain priorities. For example, I didn't cast the Skirmish on [Saturday] because I had the [Doritos Bowl]. When companies reach out, if I had a blank slate or not. It's a showdown between my two favorite games: Blackout (Call of Duty) and Fortnite."
Unlike its peers, Blackout's competition format for the weekend varied significantly. In a four-stage "heats" format, Activision put all 16 streamers in the same lobby on a private server, and then unlocked that server to the public, which filled the remaining 84 spots from those queuing in squads at home. When a team was eliminated -- either by their streaming peers, or by random players within the game -- that team would queue up into other random matchmaking games, without the other stream teams. This created about 20 minutes of serious competition between the well-known players, followed by another 40 of pubstomping, or matchmaking players of higher skill against random, often of lesser skill queues.
Fortnite and PUBG actively queued their 100 players with one another in-person, requiring a heavier technical lift and more from the observers who operated the event. Fortnite had a significant space behind the stage, as well as three trailers outside, with producers with both esports and traditional television production backgrounds. PUBG featured a smaller setup behind the curtains on the Civic's stage and a few television-style production trucks outside.
It's a far cry from TwitchCon in Long Beach, California, last year. There, H1Z1 -- a battle royale game that has since seen a significant decline in viewership -- hosted a competition at the event. Fortnite, which released its battle royale mode about a month prior, featured 10 kiosks for fans and two streamer pods. A lot has changed.
In the battle royale of battle royales, it's clear that Blackout and Fortnite, with hundreds of fans and not enough space to hold them (fire marshalls began capping the number of attendees allowed in the Fortnite Hall, and viewers for the Doritos Bowl spread out far more than the provided 220 seats) seemed to gather the most attention. In the Civic, fans sat and watched the PUBG competition but the vibe was that of an activation for Omen, with merchandising and product testing opportunities front and center.
Overall, however, Fortnite appealed to a younger demographic and came off as an interactive experience, rather than a spectator one. Blackout clearly made itself a spectating experience, comparable to that of a sports broadcast, filled with high-quality advertisements and then a sea of people watching from the crowd.
"H1Z1 is probably the loser," Shroud told ESPN following his Doritos Bowl win on Saturday. "For me, the winner would probably be Blackout. It's so good for my playstyle, I love it. It's all action. It's not Fortnite, where it's build first and shoot later."

I am proud to have our flag production plant in Israel. Our main development center is located in Israel, and when an Israeli customer walks into one of our stores, they're not always aware of our global reach.
Our football socks are worn by Barcelona, Manchester United, and every other team wearing Nike.
I'm proud of the company and its current position – an Israeli company with international success. However, the company's heart is still in Israel, with massive presence of its products that go to local shops. They are very visible and we are really excited.
What I like most is going to work and being able to really enjoy what I do.
Our excellence is reflected not only in our products. Part of the company's policy is to help the community. This is part of our social and environmental responsibility. Every one of us, from the production workers to every single executive, is engaged in volunteer work. It helps the organizations we work with, but I think it helps us even more.
The company provided me with complete backup, and permitted me to grow from a simple production worker to a local purchasing manager. This is not something that should be taken for granted. The company really invests in its human capital, and this is something to be proud of.


text: We're back February 7th to kickoff (get it?) the second installment of the Winter Games. We are partnering with Spirit to bring you the best in Super Bowl parties – featuring some specially chosen themed games and of course, we will project the game on the big screen. Plus beer, DJ Selecta and the opportunity to win more achievement badges. Don't sit on the couch with a bowlful of buffalo chicken dip. Come out, eat pizza, and PLAY.

Great news – Newbyres castle has been accepted into the Adopt-a-Monument scheme. This is a nation-wide community archaeology scheme that provides practical advice, training and help raising funds. It has earmarked mid-December for the first stage of vegetation clearance. This will be done by a group of volunteer Edinburgh University archaeology students and led by Archaeology Scotland.
Local volunteers are welcome to join us for however long you can spare. Please get in touch with Linda at our office of you would like to get involved.
This is all in preparation for an archaeological survey and further investigations to be carried out in Spring 2017. We will then start removing the rubble in and around the castle ruins. This will be supervised by an archaeologist and if we are lucky we might find some ancient artefacts!
Further down the road we intend making the area into a garden for play and learning. This idea has been warmly received by Archaeology Scotland, Midlothian Council and Historic Scotland and follows on from our successful Wooploft project done with Tynewater primary school.

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes, Turn and face the strange David Bowie
Just this week I've been on the receiving end of a half dozen of those emails. They start with the news that a valued colleague has made the decision to move on. It goes on to thank everyone for a wonderful experience and ends with best wishes.
It's that time of year. Year end bonuses have been paid. Quotas have been earned. Options have vested. And so people are moving on. Or arriving.
I grew up an army brat. Every spring my dad would come home from work and tell us where we were moving to that summer. I didn't know that people lived any other way. Each fall I'd find myself in a new school, facing the strange.
So I'm a fan of changes. I crave them. And so when I get one of those emails, I'm happy for the person and hopeful that they will find new challenges and new colleagues and friends in their next endeavor.
But what about the company that is being left behind? Well every departure is an opportunity to rethink the role and the organization. You can't find an exact replica of the person who has left. But you can find a person who will bring different things. You can split the role in two. Or you can even choose to eliminate it.
My advice to the leaders of our portfolio companies is to embrace change and the possibilities it brings. And, even more importantly, I advise leaders to be open and transparent about the change and how it opens up opportunities for the organization.
The thing I caution against is the tendency to get upset at departures and departing employees. I've seen leaders take the mob boss approach of "your are dead to me now" with departing employees. The better approach, which I think is a hallmark of great companies, is the idea that departing employees who leave on great terms are roving ambassadors for your organization. After all, you never know when you are going to come across someone again in business. And it might be a situation where you need something from them.
It sucks to lose a valued colleague or employee or boss. It creates anxiety in the organization about what is going to happen next. But if you are working in or leading a startup you signed up for a boatload of change. Accept it. Embrace it. Make it work for you. Because you can't make it go away.

The new store is part of The Shops at Nanuet. The old store was originally located at Palisades.
Apple will open their first Turkey store early next year
Interesting enough, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) will open their first Turkey store early next year. The new store will be part of the Zorlu Center in Instabul. It will also measure over 20,000 square feet.
In other Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) news, it appears the Cupertino-based tech giant made a deal with China Mobile Ltd. (NYSE:CHL) (HKG:0941) to allow the iPhone on their network. Bloomberg explained, "Apple Inc. (AAPL) wants to hire an engineer with extensive knowledge of China Mobile Ltd. (941)'s homegrown phone network, evidence it's moving toward an agreement for the world's largest carrier to offer the iPhone. The manager, who will be based in Beijing, will "support and drive the carrier approval of mobile phones," Apple said in an advertisement on its China website. The position seeks experience with TD-SCDMA, China Mobile's own third-generation standard that isn't used by other carriers."
Big things are coming for Apple
China Mobile Ltd. (NYSE:CHL) (HKG:0941) is one of the world's largest carriers with 700 million customers. It was also the largest carrier Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) had yet to reach an agreement with. The main reason behind this was that iPhones didn't work on the China Mobile network, as they used TD-SCMDA, and iPhones don't have the chips that were required to get in the network standards. Fortunately, that has changed and Apple has now been approved for their TD-SCMDA smartphones.
Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)'s deal with China Mobile Ltd. (NYSE:CHL) (HKG:0941) should help propel the company further in competition. Big things are coming for Apple.

After what they did to the last few Resident Evil game, we are not surprised that the fans did not have confidence that Capcom was going to do a good job with the remake version of Resident Evil 2.
We know that the game is consider one of the best in the series so it is important that Capcom get's it just right and not messed it up. The one thing that the fans are hoping they would see in the remake version is the horror atmosphere.
Before the announcement and release of the Resident Evil 7 trailer and demo, the fans seems to think that Capcom is no longer capable of creating anything scary but Capcom proved the fans wrong with the new Resident Evil 7 demo.
The new game looks very promising and if Capcom uses the same recipe to remake the Resident Evil 2, the game should be one to look out for.

Cherokee welcomes James Holmes as new Executive Director
~Anne Marie Boger, Weblink and Marketing Specialist
Tweet Kimball established the Cherokee Ranch & Castle Foundation which entered into a Conservation Easement for the property on December 10, 1996. This unique venue facilitates a house museum, wildlife conservation, land preservation and has become a treasured venue for a variety of activities and site of many elegant parties. At Cherokee Ranch & Castle you can enjoy lunch on the terrace with a sprawling view from Pikes Peak to Longs Peak, take a geology hike to explore the Colorado's largest petrified wood forest, or enjoy a front row seat to a Blues concert.
There's opportunities for high tea, castle tours, and farm to table dinners. The venue is so stunning, couples dreams come true with beautiful weddings on the veranda. Artists have recorded full albums in the great hall and music videos in the courtyard. The list goes on: private corporate events, celebration of life ceremonies, youth education excursions, wine tastings, and marquee birthday parties. Cherokee Ranch & Castle is an exquisite part of Colorado and has been since 1954. So what's new?
So as another chapter begins for the history of Cherokee Ranch & Castle, what does Colorado have to look forward to? We stopped by Cherokee Ranch to ask the new Executive Director himself.
On the history of Cherokee… The history of Cherokee is very important to Holmes and one of the reasons why he is so passionate about his new position. The Castle was built in 1924 by the Charles Johnson; their original vision for the land was a summer home for his family. As time went on, the family found themselves using the castle less and less, and sold their summer home and surrounding properties to Tweet Kimball, a southern belle and debutante from Tennessee. Tweet needed a new home after a divorce settlement, which included her husband's purchase of a new home for Tweet as long as she moved West of the Mississippi. In 1954 Tweet and her two young sons Richard and Kirk moved to then "Charlesford" before renaming the property Cherokee Ranch.
Tweet was a trailblazer with a strong interest in cattle. Inspired by the unique Santa Gertrudis of the King Ranch, which initially refused to sell their warm climate cattle to Tweet for a ranch in Colorado. Never one to accept no for an answer, Tweet found another seller and for the first time the Santa Gertrudis breed was introduced to Colorado; this was the onset of her cattle ranching business. A business that still exists today, there are now 140 Getrudis that call Cherokee their home. Tweet went on to establish the Rocky Mountain Santa Gertrudis Association and become the first woman to ever serve on the National Western Stock Show's Board of Directors, among numerous other accomplishments as a respected cattle rancher.
On Tweet's legacy… In 1996, Tweet worked to establish the Cherokee Ranch & Castle Foundation, a conservation easement that protects the land as a wildlife sanctuary. She passed away in 1999, and the Board of Directors, staff, and volunteers have been keeping her legacy alive since. Her passion for the music, art, and literature has "inspired us to make Cherokee a prominent venue for music," Holmes said. He feels it's what she would have been pleased to see, and went on to say he feels an obligation to uphold what Tweet would have wanted.
On Holmes' legacy… "What is it that I would want my lasting legacy to be? With a lot of non-profits, you hear about the legacy of their Directors, so if someone 20 years from now were discussing mine, I would want people to look back and say that James Holmes fully restored Tweet's legacy, and that I made decisions that were thoughtful, and that those decisions were made with the long-term view in mind. I want to make decisions and put policies in place that make it easy for future Executive Directors here to make good decisions. I also would like to have made a turning point financially for Cherokee Ranch & Castle Foundation so that we can fulfill our potential and fully realize Tweet's dream."
Holmes' background is anything but ordinary. A former race car driver, equestrian athlete, and cyclist turned corporate sponsorship developer, who spent 26 years in the mortgage and real estate industry as a serial entrepreneur since 1983. In 1997, He began volunteering for a lot of philanthropic organizations and political candidates and causes. Holmes developed a particular interest in the area of fundraising for public art. In 2001, he helped raise $1 million dollars for the Martin Luther King "I Have a Dream" monument in Denver's City Park. He has been on the Denver Art Museum Board of Trustees since 2004.
He's been involved with dozens of public service organizations, appointed to several boards, recognized as a recipient of the Denver Business Journal's "40 Under 40 Business Leaders Award," perhaps most proud to have received the "Juanita Ross Gray Community Service Award" among other honors. "I've given a lot of time to the arts and non-profit organizations, so when I look at Cherokee Ranch I see lots of challenges and yet there are many more opportunities. My professional and philanthropic backgrounds are fully in alignment here," and then added, "timing for this amazing job could not have been more perfect in this time in my life. I love coming here and I would like to be here for the next 20 years of my life."
On Holmes' vision… "We are going to make Cherokee Ranch's cattle operation prominent again," he said. "Over the last few years, Tweet's importance to the Cherokee story has become a little diluted; the idea that we are stewards of Tweet's vision was dwindling and this will also be corrected. One of my primary objectives is to restore Tweet fully, as well as ensure her legacy stands the test of time. Tweet is the reason this place has become a Colorado treasure and a gift for all of us today."
Cherokee Ranch and Castle is a true marvel and important part of the Rocky Mountain Region. With Holmes in charge, no doubt it's in great hands and will continue to thrive. Please visit www.cherokeeranch.org for more information.

This weekend is so different from the last. I was forced to take time out on Mothering Sunday and very much appreciated hubby having given up his usual weekly archery fix to take me out to Wisley.
We were lucky to catch the orchids in the glass house - the photos are all on my phone and I have to email them to myself in order to blog with it! Too laborious so here's a snippet!
There will be a bevy of Stampin' Up! Demos congregating in Amsterdam for OnStage Live next week and I am treading water very fast in order to be ready for it. Swaps? Not even started, and it pains me to say that some of my Stampin' sisters have already finished theirs!!!
Oh, did I mention that on the eve of my departure I actually have a class to run? So you'll forgive me for not having a project to share today. Plus I have birthday cards to send out before we leave as those birthdays are happening whilst I'm away - forward thinking needed I think!
Enjoy your Sunday!

To best avoid these scams, know what to look out for. Here's an overview of the top 12 tax scams – and how to combat them.
Table of Contents:
1. Identity Theft
Obviously you have to use sensitive personal information, including your Social Security Number, to file your taxes. And if you use that information in the presence of others – such as a disreputable tax professional – you could become a victim of identity theft.
Some scammers will try to use stolen identities to file fraudulent tax returns in order to get an undeserved refund. Fortunately, the IRS is getting better at spotting fraudulent returns. In 2012, it prevented the issuance of $20 billion in fraudulent refunds.
Combat It: The best way to protect yourself from identity theft is to stay on top of your credit report, which will let you know if someone has been taking out fraudulent accounts in your name. You may also want to look into identity theft insurance. At tax time, be especially careful about who has access to your tax returns – whether you file online or by mail.
2. Phishing
If you receive an unexpected email that looks as though it's from the IRS or other federal organization, it may be a phishing scam. These scams set up counterfeit websites and emails, which often look authentic. The goal is to lure you into giving away personal information to a seemingly legitimate source.
Combat It: The IRS never sends unsolicited emails. If they need information from you, they'll send a letter or call. (And even then, you should be careful to ensure that the contact is authentic.) So if you get an email from the IRS that you aren't expecting, forward it to [email protected] and then ignore it.
3. Return Preparer Fraud
According to the IRS' latest Dirty Dozen report, about 60 percent of taxpayers rely on a tax professional to prepare their tax returns. Obviously, your tax preparer has access to much of your personal information, and unscrupulous tax preparers have been known to commit fraud.
Combat It: The IRS has a webpage with advice about choosing the right tax professional, and it includes information on what red flags to look for in a tax preparer or preparation company. One other helpful hint: make sure your tax preparer signs your prepared returns and enters his or her IRS Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) before sending your returns in or returning them to you.
4. Evading Taxes with Offshore Accounts
This is a tax no-no that will come back to bite you. Instead of being scammed, some taxpayers are scamming the government by hiding – or attempting to hide – income in offshore accounts.
Sure, you might have a good reason to have money in non-U.S. accounts, and if so make sure it's reported properly.
Combat It: If you're not sure that you're reporting income in offshore accounts correctly, talk to a qualified tax professional. Also, if you've failed to disclose this information in the past, check out the Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program. This program, reopened in 2012, can help you catch up on taxes without being prosecuted for tax evasion.
5. Free Money Scams
This scheme, according to the IRS, is popping up in community churches across the nation. Basically, scammers promise that taxpayers can get free money in return for filing a tax return – with next to no information on it.
Many of the scammers are claiming that participants can get money through the American Opportunity Tax Credit, an educational credit, even if they were enrolled in college years ago.
Combat It: This scam often preys on elderly or low-income Americans. Many times, these individuals are eligible for money back from the IRS – but they'll have to file a tax return to get it. There are very few situations in which you may not need to file a return, so when in doubt, just file.
6. Impersonating a Charity
Most of us know that we can save on taxes and do a good deed by donating to a charity. But in order to qualify, you must make charitable donations to a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Scam artists may impersonate charities to get money or financial information. This is an especially common scam after natural disasters – like Hurricane Sandy – where scammers make phone calls to solicit funds supposedly to help disaster victims.
Combat It: If you do want to earn a tax break and help others, donate only to a charity you recognize. Feel free to dig into a charity's background to find out if it is legitimate before writing a check. And speaking of checks, always write a check rather than giving out bank account information, credit card numbers or cash.
7. Falsified Income and Expenses
Here's another scam against the IRS, instead of against taxpayers. Some taxpayers will try to increase their refund by claiming income they didn't earn or business or self-employment expenses they didn't have.
Obviously if the IRS finds out about this, you'll have to repay that extra refund and probably penalties and interest. If the scam is big enough, you may be prosecuted.
Combat It: Keep careful track of your income and expenses throughout the year and make sure everything is reported accurately on your tax return. Even if you have someone else prepare your taxes, double-check to ensure that everything you've reported is true and correct.
8. False Form 1099 Claims
In this age-old scam, individuals will use form 1099-OID to justify a claim for a refund they shouldn't have. Again, if you receive a refund that you shouldn't, you'll have to pay it back with penalties and interest, and you may be prosecuted for this crime.
Combat It: Make sure you're eligible for all deductions and credits you claim on your tax return. If all the tax forms are Greek to you, find a reputable tax preparer who will be straight with you about which deductions and credits you can apply for.
9. Frivolous Arguments
In this scam, someone might try to persuade you to make excuses about why you can't pay the taxes that you owe. The IRS put out a recent publication detailing a huge list of frivolous tax arguments that you definitely want to avoid. The list includes the argument that tips for personal services aren't income and that the payment of federal taxes is voluntary.
Combat It: If someone tells you that you can avoid filing taxes for whatever reason, do some research. Yes, there are some cases in which you may not need to file a tax return. But for the most part, we all have to file, and we all have to pay what we owe.
10. Claiming Zero Wages
Here's yet another scam that will get you in serious trouble with the federal government. If you try to reduce your taxable income to zero by claiming that you didn't earn wages or by fudging Form 1099 or Form 4852, you'll get in trouble. The penalty if you're found out is up to $5,000 (plus all the back taxes you'll owe once the situation is corrected).
Combat It: Again, if someone asks you to participate in a scheme like this, say no. There are plenty of legitimate ways to reduce your taxable income and your subsequent tax check. But if you're uncomfortable or not completely sure, do your research or find a new tax preparer.
11. Disguised Corporate Ownership
Basically, this scheme is used to underreport income by distancing yourself from ownership in a company. This is a financial crime, up there with laundering money.
Combat It: If you're a business owner (unless you're actually a tax pro yourself), you'll likely need to hire someone to help with your complicated tax returns. But if your tax preparer – or anyone else – suggests you don't take ownership of a company that you own or partly own, back away.
12. Misusing Trusts
If you're working through estate planning, be very careful who you choose to help you. Many questionable estate planners urge taxpayers to shield money from taxes by misusing trusts. Yes, there is a time and a place for a trust – and even for shielding your children's inheritance from taxes as much as possible.
But using a trust to take deductions for personal expenses, reduce gift taxes, or other purposes may not be legitimate. The IRS lists private annuity trusts and foreign trusts as particularly easy to abuse.
Combat It: Protect your financial interests and those of your inheritors by working with a legitimate estate planner. And make sure you fully understand every provision made in your estate plan before you sign on the dotted line.
Being conned out of your identity or your hard-earned cash, or being conned into scamming the government, are all things you want to avoid. So pay attention to these 12 common tax-related scams and steer clear of suspicious individuals this April.

After consultation with Steinway we needed alter the doorway to accommodate the boundary woofer in the front left corner. Next challenge was to create a stage floor with the interior design team, Id Inspired Design. This incorporated LED step lights. Careful consideration was given to the interior design requirements and all electronics had to be enclosed in a bespoke large window seat. Curved wall built to secure the anamorphic screen
Project Birchwood was a three month installation for Revolve CI and we again worked with interior designers Inspired Design. This project involved a number of key changes and considerations to the room in order for us to install the technology to result in a full home cinema.
After a consultation with Steinway, it was decided that the doorway has to be altered in order to accommodate the boundary woofer in the front of the room. In addition, we created a stage floor with the interior designers which cleverly incorporated LED step lights for that true cinema look and feel. Consideration also had to be given to the design requirements as we managed to conceal all the electronic in an enclosed bespoke large window seat.
A curved wall was also built to scecure the Steinway anamorphic screen. The front row are full experience cinema seats and to complete the installation the lighting was all managed via Control4 Automation System.

Have you ever been on a food tour? For a long time, I wasn't entirely sold. Why would you spend money to have someone take you to restaurants when you could go on your own? I was oh so wrong.
When Sebastian and I were in Rome last fall, I was trying to find something unique to do for his birthday. I found a food tour company and decided it might be a fun gift. If anything we would eat some great food together.
The tour was way more than food. Eating Italy provided an incredible experience filled with amazing food, great wine, awesome locals and tons of history. We went on the Twilight tour in the Roman neighborhood of Trastevere. The best part was visiting an area in Rome we might not have gone to otherwise. Trastevere is really lovely. It doesn't feel like you're in a big city, but rather a quaint Italian community. We enjoyed getting away from all the tourists and feeling like one of the locals for an evening.
Here are the stops we made along the way if you're interested:
–Da Enzo al 29–
Address: Via dei Vascellari, 29
Our first stop was a small trattoria on a side street in Trastevere. We had burrata with prosciutto and melon, as well as some prosecco to kick off the tour. Sebastian and I loved this restaurant so much that we came back on our last day in Rome.
–Spirito di Vino–
Address: Via dei Genovesi 31 a/b
Our second stop included some fantastic red wine and appetizers. More incredible than the food was the location. We spent our time in Spirito di Vino's wine cellar, which is actually 150 years older than the Colosseum. Fun fact: one of the statues we saw in the Vatican Museum (see below) was found buried in the cellar.
Address: Via della Luce 21
I love sweets so this was a perfect stop for me. The Innocenti bakery is still run by the same family who opened it in 1920, and the cookies are still made in the same oven from the 1950s.
–Antica Caciara–
Address: Via di San Francesco a Ripa 140
Another family-run joint, this salumeria delicatessen is well-known to the Trastevere locals. We sampled several meats and cheese and talked with the owner who started working there when he was 13.
–Osteria der Belli–
Address: Piazza Santa Apollonia 9
I loved this restaurant situated near the center of Trastevere. It had a great patio where we sampled several dishes off the menu, including smoked swordfish, ravioli and carbonara. This was also a return spot during our trip.
–La Renella–
Address: Via del Moro 15
This lively bakery was one of the coolest stops on the tour. Before we sampled some of their delicious pizza, we visited the oven room. We met Massimo (seen below) who is 82 (82!) and still baking up bread, which we learned is served in many restaurants across Rome.
Address: Via Roma Libera 11
The last stop of the tour was the best gelateria in Rome. They offer real gelato made from natural ingredients. We could sample two flavors, and I tried the honey lemon and ginger as well as the almond apple and cinnamon. Some of the flavors were very unique like rosemary and chocolate or goat cheese and coconut. We came back here again on our last night – you know, when in Rome.
Not only was the food out of this world, but we learned some cool facts about the city and spent time in an incredible neighborhood. I definitely recommend Eating Italy if you find yourself in Rome.
–Eating Italy–
P.S. Sebastian and I will be in San Francisco for a few days in September. Any great food recommendations?

Somebody found this page while searching for "hampster dance lyrics". Ummm…. maybe I can help you out:
Hampster Dance Lyrics
Do dit do da do de doh doh, dee bah do dit doh. Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doh de doh. Ha ha ha ha!
Hope that helps.
Today is Kestrel's Nest's first birthday. After reading weblogs for some time (Robot Wisdom, CamWorld, EatonWeb, PeterMe, CardHouse, and Obscure Store were my daily rotation), a year ago I decided to start one of my own. But it was hard, mostly due to weird restrictions from my ISP and my laziness in moving to another. Then in late August 1999, Blogger was born. And Blogger was everything I needed. Since last August 30, I've been writing nearly every day. The last twelve months have seen an amazing amount of change in my life, and writing has helped me see things clearly and focus on what is important. Thank you for coming by over the last year. It means a lot to me that so many of you not only have wandered in, but return from time to time to see what I'm up to. And even more, while I'm no Jorn or Cam or Peter or Brig, it is wonderful that I have inspired a few of you to begin writing as well. Everyone should write more. Even if it is just a few sentences a day on scraps of paper that get thrown away, write more.
Here's a time lapse log of the last year:
August 30, 1999: It lives!
September 30, 1999: Cheese Roll Goes Down Well
October 29, 1999: Phil dE Cat with Grape Jelly
November 30, 1999: The Clothespin Repertory Theater
January 1, 2000: I went to the Gobbler
January 31, 2000: Udderly Smooth Udder Cream
February 29, 2000: Tour my house
March 30, 2000: Too jittery to sleep
April 30, 2000: I destroy a city
May 30, 2000: Sweet, sweet apple fritter
June 29, 2000: Abortion in the news
August 1, 2000: Confederados in Brazil
August 30, 2000: You are here
I'm voting for James "Kool" Polk. Who loves ya, buddy!
The finale of Cartoon Network's Staylongers is now online. If you haven't seen this wonderful take on Survivor, take a gander. The Cartoon Network webmaster has messed up the URLs a bit, so here's the five episodes directly: one, two, three, four and five.
It's "make you own hooch" week at CNN, apparently, Yesterday: Making illegal liquor — and profits — in Appalachian hills, with a nice description of the distilling process. Today: Try making an alternative wine, complete with recipes. It's "make your own hooch" week at my house, too. Tonight's feature is hard ginger ale. It'll be ready in a couple weeks.
My new favorite scientific term: Rings of Repugnance. These are the tall rings of grass that circle cow patties in the pasture. Cows won't eat that close to their dung, so the grass grows taller. There is a variety of fungus ("Coprophilous" — "dung loving") that lives in dung piles. To thrive, spores from these fungii must get eaten by an animal in order to get redeposited in a fresh dung pile. But, due to the Ring of Repugnance, they have a hard time finding a way in the animal. The solution? The spores have developed little propulsion systems that launch them outside the Ring of Repugnance. For more information, see Be It Ever So Humble, There's No Place Like Dung from the Carolina Biological Supply Company. Incidentally, most "magic mushrooms" are coprophilous. You might want to wash them before you snack.
My kitten and I have a lion / lion-tamer relationship. Only in reverse. When I yawn, she sticks her head in my mouth. I don't think I need to say how disconcerting that is.
An excercise in remembering the early years
When I was very young, my family had one of those old-fashioned washing machines, with the open drum and the mechanical wringer. We kept it in the bathroom, which was a step down from the rest of the house. The bathroom was pretty large, and was always cooler than the rest of the house. There was a tub in the center, the toilet, a shower in the corner, and the washing machine. Sometimes we'd store cases of soda that dad brought home from "The Pop Shop", grape and strawberry and orange and other hard to find sodas. I don't recall a dryer, so I guess we hung the clothes out on the line. I knew the masher was old, and was facinated by all the moving parts. My mother impressed upon me the knowledge that the wringer was very dangerous. I pictured my whole arm getting sucked in and squished flat, so I was always afraid of it. One day, the machine broke and could not get repaired, so we started going in to town to use the laundromat. There were two I remember going to. One was next door to my father's service station (an Amoco he got caught owning during the '70s oil embargo). [Side story: Once while my mom was laundry there, I got into talking with a stranger. I wasn't supposed to do that, of course, but the man was pretty nice. He ended up buying me a candy or soda or something, and that got me into trouble. I had to sit by myself and wait for the laundry to finish. Later (that day? I don't recall), we went to a fair. The fair had a pony ride, the type where the ponies are tied to a wheel and they walk around in circles all day. The man running the pony ride was the one I'd met at the laundromat. I thought that was significant at the time.] The other was in a space-age kind of building and had an old-time red fire engine parked in the playground. Kids could climb all over the truck while their parents were inside washing clothes. Near this laundromat was an Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips. (I'd thought the chain went out of business, but I see they're still alive and kicking.) I don't think we ate there but a few times, but it was a treat when we did. I absolutely loved the battered crispy fish, so long as it was drowning in malt vinegar. What's the point of all this? I still love fast food fish, drowning in malt vinegar. Every so often, I stop in Captain D's or Long John Silver's, and as I eat, I think back to when I was very, very young.
I've joined the team over at eat, link and be merry. It's a weblog all about food. And as regulars around here know, I'm all about that.
I don't have a good knife in my kitchen. As much cooking as I do, as often as I use knives, it's a shame I haven't bought myself a decent knife. By all accounts, this is the knife for me. And, as far as really good knives go, it's mighty cheap.
If you live near Kent, Washington, please support the Whistling Train Farm. It makes me very happy to find places like this. I wish there were one near Athens. I wish I could start one near Athens.
"Don't make Heaven mad, boy, don't make Heaven mad!" So begins Don't Make Heaven Mad, one of many songs written by John Lennon and channeled through Linda J. Polley. Frankly, I think it's some of his weaker material, but maybe it's just the way Mrs Polley sings. Oh yes, there's wav files.
"You can eat if you want to; that's your prerogative… I used to play that game… I know what it's like… But I'm just not interested in it any more…" Breatharianism: the secret you've been looking for.
A temple at least 1000 years old has been found beneath the waters of Lake Titicaca, the favorite proper noun of seventh grade boys everywhere.
R.I.P. Deepleap. We hardly knew ye.
I owe many people many emails. I'm working through my inbox now, so replies are forthcoming. So all of you thinking "Will that Eric scum ever write, or does he just not care about me?" (you know who you are): I care, really I do! I just got carried away, but I'm getting back to what's important. Writing to you.
Iron Chef vs. Bob. This week's theme ingredient: low-quality ground beef. More cartoony goodness from Ruben Bolling via tom the dancing bug.
SuperPants is on vacation. While they're away, they've left us a nifty javascript goodie to gawk at.
Less Gilliland is a cowboy for the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. This is his story. I wouldn't be suprised if I've met him. Much of the range is in the territory served by Socorro Electric Cooperative, where I put in a couple years as an engineer. I did a lot of work on the range, and saw many amazing things. For example: they have a massive cable that stretches between two mountain tops. About two miles long. It's connected to huge winches that raise and lower the cable to the valley floor. When the cable's down, they attach helecopters or jets or tanks or whatnot to it and winch it up, suspending the item several thousand feet in the air. And then they shoot missiles at it and hope they don't hit the cable. As far as I know, they haven't yet, but if they do, they'll just buy another one. Hmm… maybe I've said too much.

Some people dream about color. These dreams have a deeper meaning in the dream interpretation. The color describes the physical experience that makes meaningful statements about the mental state. According to some dream experts, people who dream of seeing a specific color will have more temperament than others who do not dream about color. These people are considered very influential in the life balance. Colorful dreams are interpreted to have an interest in life.
People are dreaming colors in various shapes. Sometimes they dream of red dresses, green pastures, and bright blue skies, or something else. If you dream of seeing a certain color, this is a sign that your consciousness wants to express the message through color and give additional symbol. Color is often connected with the collective unconscious. History of color symbolism has run since ancient times.
What do colors symbolize in a dream?
Blue has a relationship with the religious and spiritual goals. Blue also symbolizes protection, truth, and loyalty. In dreams, the blue color always emphasizes the emotional aspect. Blue interprets that you have introverted behavior. The negative point of this color is reflected in the opaque blue color that expresses sadness, anxiety, and confusion. A bright blue sky without a cloud signifies healing and refers to the relaxation and peace. But when you saw dark blue, this dream is still associated with darkness or black. This picture is a warning that you are approaching danger.
The black color is a sign of mourning and signifies more significant effort. Black often symbolizes dark personality and fear. Black is the color of darkness. It is the color of creativity because all colors also emerge from the darkness. Black contains all colors.
Pink, this color represents sensual. When you dream of red, this symbolizes war, fights, blood. Red is a color that represents passion and feeling. If in a dream that you see red, this dream indicates that you are an enthusiastic person. Red color also signifies high cost, in the future, you will spend a lot of money to satisfy your partner's desire.
Dreaming of white color shows your limits and your rebirth before things. It also indicates purity, purity, and innocence. On the opposite, this dream shows that you are in trouble that you cannot solve. Your mind goes crazy because you …

A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, The Plague of Doves by Louise Erdrich, is a gripping novel about a long-unsolved crime in a small North Dakota town and how, years later, the consequences are still being felt by the community and nearby Ojibwe reservation.
A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, The Plague of Doves—the first part of a loose trilogy that includes the National Book Award-winning The Round House and LaRose—is a gripping novel about a long-unsolved crime in a small North Dakota town and how, years later, the consequences are still being felt by the community and a nearby Native American reservation.
Though generations have passed, the town of Pluto continues to be haunted by the murder of a farm family. Evelina Harp—part Ojibwe, part white—is an ambitious young girl whose grandfather, a repository of family and tribal history, harbors knowledge of the violent past. And Judge Antone Bazil Coutts, who bears witness, understands the weight of historical injustice better than anyone. Through the distinct and winning voices of three unforgettable narrators, the collective stories of two interwoven communities ultimately come together to reveal a final wrenching truth.
Bestselling author Louise Erdrich delves into the fraught waters of historical injustice and the impact of secrets kept too long. Told with heartbreak and humor, this Harper Perennial Deluxe Modern Classic features beautiful cover artwork on uncoated stock, French flaps, and deckle-edge pages.

"[Erdrich's] accomplishment in these pages is Tolstoy-like: to render human particularity so meticulously and with such fierce passion as to convey the great, glittering movement of time." - San Francisco Chronicle
"Writing in prose that combines the magical sleight of hand of Gabriel García Márquez with the earthy, American rhythms of Faulkner...[Ms. Erdrich] has written what is arguably her most ambitious—and in many ways, her most deeply affecting—work yet." - Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
"An intricate tale of heartbreak and humor...wondrous novel...What marks these stories...is what has always set Erdrich apart and made her work seem miraculous: the jostling of pathos and comedy...Sit down and listen carefully." - Washington Post Book World
"Wholly felt and exquisitely rendered tales of memory and magic...an intricate tapestry that deeply satisfies the mind, the heart, and the spirit." - Pam Houston, O, The Oprah Magazine
"The stories told by [Erdrich's] characters offer pleasures of language, of humor, of sheer narrative momentum, that shine even in the darkest moments of the book." - Boston Globe
"Erdrich deftly weaves past and present, and her literary territory is as intricate as Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County." - MORE Magazine
"One can only marvel...at Erdrich's amazing ability to do what so few of us can – shape words into phrases and sentences of incomparable beauty that, then, pour forth a mesmerizing story." - USA Today
"Mesmerizing… Erdrich ...communicate[s] the complexity and the mystery of human relationships." - Booklist (starred review)
"To read Louise Erdrich's thunderous new novel is to leap headlong into the fiery imagination of a master storyteller...a rich, colorful mosaic of tales that twist and turn for decades..." - Miami Herald
"Erdrich has demonstrated a rare ability to create vibrant, wholly original characters and to describe nature in a prose so lyrical it becomes poetry. 'The Plague of Doves' is proof that she has yet to exhaust her powerful magic." - Hartford Courant
"...at once mythic and down-to-earth...beautiful, funny, moving, and unexpected." - Elle
"Erdrich's latest novel...is so natural you forget there's a writer behind it...Instantly gripping..." - Marie Claire
"Erdrich is in top form here..." - Time Out New York
"A multigenerational tour de force of sin, redemption, murder and vengeance" - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A lush, multilayered book…The magic lies in the details of Erdrich's ever-replenishing mythology." - Kirkus Reviews
"Louise Erdrich's imaginative freedom has reached its zenith—The Plague of Doves is her dazzling masterpiece." - Philip Roth
