Living in a suburb, in a state that constantly rains, and in a chaotic family comes me. I'm your typical boy next door and like most people on here I'm gay, or am I? Only time will tell really. Being in the closet isn't much fun. I have to feel bad all the time, ask God why me, and thank God for repealing DADT, if I do come out by the time I start to serve. I took up this Journal as a new hobby for me and to give all of you the documentation of the life of a boring teenager who is yes, in the closet. Wow big surprise there, eh? Sure one person (my bestfriend) has suspicions about my sexuality, and sure when she or anyone else asks I deny that I am, and sure I also have only had girlfriends. I'm also a virgin and the closest I've been is a damn peck on the lips. I'm almost a legal adult! That's a bit effed up if you ask me.
Although it pains me greatly to post thrice in the span of four and twenty hours, this truly merits immediate note.
Drumroll please.....
I just came out to my parents!
It was, I think, on Wednesday evening that I finally acted on the thought that had been nagging the back of my mind for a while, which thought being that I really needed to come out to my female friend, whom I shall codename Regi, now that I know for sure that I'm not straight.
I had always figured coming out to my parents would be an emotional and tear-filled time, that I would plan for it for days or weeks beforehand, that it wouldn't happen until I had a relatively solid label for my queeritude, or else that one of them would just ask bluntly and outright, giving me no time to prepare, and the emotional and tear-filled scene would follow. I had also figured that something would be fundamentally a little bit different afterward - maybe just a load off my chest, maybe some sort of change in the family atmosphere. But this... Not what I expected at all.
So, I guess I wanted to put my coming out story here, for some reason. The following paragraphs are an excerpt from a letter I wrote to one of my favorite authors, who so happens to be lesbian so when I wrote to tell her how much I loved her book I put my coming out story in there as well. Here goes.
Well i came out all but 4 years ago, but i just fund this site and think its amazing. So i feel an obligation to haveing my True E coming out story on here. (haha) Ive never actually written a blog so this is a bit new to me. Comments to let me know if their are any tips to makeing it better or more intresting would be amazing!!
I finally told my friends about myself, and it wasn't incredibly awkward because everybody was sharing their own stories, not neccessarily having to do with LGBTQ identities, though. At a sleepover my friends and I were all sharing secrets and when it was my turn to inform them of one of my secrets, I explained that I only had two big secrets that they didn't already know. Those two being, first, that I am transsexual, and second, that I like a girl from our school.
It started when I was young I alawys felt more attracted to girls but thought it was wrong for me. (I had nothing aginst gay people though) It could have been because I went to catholic school. (churchs conflicting views) I spent k-8th at that same small school in a big city. i spent most of my child hood preventing any thing that could make me seem gay or is "gay"(Some Psychologist interpet it as a sign of being gay). In high school I believe I came out to 2 male friends (that later came out to me).[I also had a boyfriend that randomly told me he knows I like girls.
My life is full of adventures, dilemmas and weird situations.
For now, I'll talk about how I come out to my friend.
so today wasn't too bad.
So today was totally one of those days, a day where the whole world decideds to drop on you at once, which isn't all bad cause it can be very "freeing" dealing with everything at once, you know? Anyways we're going to do a lot of back tracking in this journal, bare with me please because this is to help me through all of this and maybe even help someone else out some day.
So, my parents know about my sexuality; I told them about a year ago. The problem is they're Christian and completely reject that part of me. We haven't really talked about it since I came out to them, but it's still hanging around the air. There's always those quiet, awkward moments after someone says something when everyone knows everything's thinking about me being gay. It hurts me to know that my family doesn't accept me, and they don't even try to learn what it's all about. All they know is the bible says it's wrong, end of story.
SO yeah. My mom had kind of asked me a few weeks ago, and my really brave answer was "That's a personal question," and apparently she and my little sister drew from that I was thinking I might be bisexual, so, unbeknownst to me, she told my dad and older sister (but not my bro). But while we were walking the family dog on Friday, she said "Have you thought any more about whether or not you're bisexual?," and then I was like, "No, I think I'm a lesbian," and that there was a really high probability, and we had this really nice talk.
I'm sure there are other posts like this, but whatever. So... The question is, do your parents know? If so, how did you bring it up? What were their reactions? If not, are you going to tell them? How? When? And which parent would be (or is) more accepting?
I am now technically out on Facebook......It was a vital step in a positive direction and now its done with( I've yet to experience any fallout but than again it hasnt even been a day)
It's over with. I won't be going to great lengths to hide my sexuality, yet I won't be volunteering this information to that many people either.
That would be dumb.
Interested In; Women, Men,
Looking for: Friendship, Dating, A Relationship, Networking.....
Why should i lose sleep over being shut out by people who are barely in my life to begin with?
I'm gay... i just realized this.
except i have a girlfriend. and i don't wanna tell her that the reason i wanna break up is because i'm gay.
even if i made up a reason, if she saw me or heard. about me going out with a guy, she'd like kill herself... because nowadays, at least at my school, it's social suicide to date a gay guy before he comes out. and to make matters worse, i've already met her parents and i have a crush on her gay best friend (he's literally the cutest boy i've ever seen, other than ones on TV).
what do i do?
Well, I'm going to tell like everyone I know. But do I just go to the front of the classroom and just say "I'm not straight. At all. Or even close."? Do I tell everyone one on one? That's boring! What should I do to spread this?
so I'm out to my dad...
me: dad...um...
dad: what? you have a boyfriend?
me: no....i'm gay
dad: what do you mean you're gay?
me: i'm gay, as in i like girls
dad: you don't like girls
me: what do you mean i dont like girls? dad, i'm serious. i'm gay
dad: why do you like girls?
me: why do you like girls?
dad: i'm a boy
me: ok?
dad: do you have a girlsfriend?
me: no
dad: then why do you like girls?
me: i dont need a girls friend to like girls
dad:so you're gay as in happy gay?
me: what? no, yes, i'm both terms
dad: ok (hugs)

I found this recipe in a cooking light magazine and thought it tasted great and was very simple to make. The only part that didn't work so well was getting my dumplings to cook as there wasn't a whole lot of liquid left after adding the beans and tomatoes. So, I am going to try adding just a little more vegetable broth or water next time so that my dumplings cook up better. I just really like the taste of this soup.

Brazil will look to conquer their first ever gold medal and they will be looking for clean start over Egypt who will be looking desperate to register their first win against yellow.
Watch All Schedule of Olympic Football
Brazil have never won a gold medal in Men Olympic football and they have every possibility to change it this summer. They displayed some maturity against the British on a dominating win on a Olympic tuneup match. They won 2-0 against the hosts which might have built up some confidence.
The Group A match will kick off midnight(Nepal Standard Time GMT +5:45) when Brazil will have a clash over the African side Egypt. Since Egypt has never won Brazil, they will come up with everything they will need to start with win in Group C match.
Egypt would also look to be organized sending a positive message to their countrymen that following violence that took hundred of fans' life in a club level match, things have improved in the Egyptian soccer establishment. So they would look to put their effort to explore message to the world that they have tremendous improvement on them.
Egypt:El-Shenawy, Fathi, Hegazy, Gaber, Milo, Hassan, El-Din Ahmed, Aboutrika, Mohsen, Motaeb, Salah
Brazil: Neto, Rafael, Silva, Juan, Marcelo, Sandro, Romulo, Oscar, Hulk, Damiao, Neymar
Egypt: Mohamed Salah might be fine striker to watch as his recent enrollment to Swiss club FC Basel in April 2012 might have collected some inspiration to the 20 year old.
Brazil: No Doubt Neymar has all of the eyes attracted on him. He, along with Hulk and recent Chelsea signing Oscar could be kept an eye on.
Brazil 3:1 Egypt

Everyone knows the risks but if you are out during the Xmas break and have a drink - just don't drive - it's that simple. Have a read of this:
BBC News - Road crash: An otherwise ordinary day
I was very lucky as an 11 year old. It was friday of the week before the end of the summer term in primary school, and it had been raining the day before and that morning. The sports day had been postponed as a result and we had a normal day. I walked home with some friends, my home was around 800 yards from the school, one main road to cross which had a lollipop man and just my own road to cross as my home was on the other side.
It was fairly sunny, quite warm and the road was still a little damp, but it was a generally a nice day.
I decided to cross the road a little further up than usual as another group of friends were on the other side ... I seem to remember a girl I fancied was with them. I said to my mates I would catch them at the swimming pool in the morning, a ritual that about 10 of us had been doing for nearly 18 months, ever since we learnt to swim. I had a quick look up and down the road ... my own road ... a quiet road ... so it was a quick look. I could here a car but not near, I seem to remember that it was far enough away. I honestly can't remember if I hesitated a bit but I heard someone shout my name.
I remember trying to jump backwards ... something hitting my head ... my body bouncing on the ground ... I even remember swearing and then worrying that someone had heard me. My head hurt, but I wanted to get up and find out what had happened ... but as soon as I moved the dizziness from my head was replaced by a sharp, excruciating pain in my right leg. I looked down the road and a car was stopped ... a head was stuck out the window ... my brother was running up the road and tried to grab the head and then I can remember the car wasn't there anymore. Someone ... I think it was the girl I wanted to chat with ... someone was telling me not to try and move.
Most of the wait for the ambulance is not clear ... some of the things I think I remember others don't ... apparently for some of it I was unconscious and some of it I told jokes to others to cheer them up. My dad appeared as he was the caretaker at the infant school site just down the road, my mum appeared before the ambulance took me away.
I was lucky. The car had been speeding and the estimate was between 43 and 50 MPH on a 30 mph road, close to 2 schools, a road where there were the odd spot with double parking so only one car could get past. It seems that trying to jump backwards meant my feet were off the floor when I was fit ... reducing the damage to my leg. My head hurt because I was leaning backwards and got flipped over, hitting the wing mirror instead of the windscreen or the car frame. The wing mirror easily came off. Being young I was flexible and bouncy so the road was not really a problem. I had fallen from higher when climbing trees.
I can remember the arguements at the hospital about the car ... I didn't understand why it wasn't there the next time I had looked and it seemed that no-one knew who it was or where they had gone. Thankfully my friends had, between them, got the registration, the colour, make and model, identifying stickers, a description of the driver as so much more ...
It turns out the driver was not at home when the police called round ... the car was nowhere to be seen. The car was found 4 days later burnt out ... and the driver later that day. It took the police 4 interviews until he admitted that he had driven the car, it hadn't been stolen as he claimed and that he had driven off. He did test positive for having had a drink in the preceding days but the police did not have enough evidence to show that it was prior to him hitting me.
The guy's niece was a friend of a family friend and told the police which pub the guy had been in that afternoon. The landlord denied everything, as did the other locals. In the end he was done for failing to stop and failing to report and accident ... he got a total of 6 points and £110 in fines. He was later banned for 4 other traffic offences that were waiting to be processed at the time of him hitting me. He was caught driving whilst disqualified within 6 months and was breathalised, found to be 3 times over the limit and was fined again. he was eventually given 3 months for another RTC 4 years after hitting me ... this time someone was seriously injured in a car he drove into the back of whilst drunk.
I was lucky ... over the years 4 friends have been taken due to drink driving ... 2 cyclists, one pedestrian and one in a car ... and another died after crashing whilst drunk.
I know that my story is not going to change the mind of people like the driver who hit me ... and even the BBC article is unlikely to shake them ... but the landlord of the pub which this guy was served in knew he was driving ... so did the other locals ... his family knew he did it on a regular basis too.
Don't be scared to pick up the phone and call the police to report someone leaving the pub after having too many. Don't be scared to approach the landlord. Don't be scared to say to your friends that they have had their limit and not to drink anymore, or to even sort out a taxi for them. If you have friends that insist of drinking too much then don't go out with them. Agree a system of designated drivers to try and cover the need to get to the pub or restaurant.
It is not someone else's problem ... *you* can do something about it too. It might be someone you know, you love or you who is affected by this.
One thing I can't understand is why we have a alcohol *limit*, it should be *no* alcohol if you are driving period.
What a cheerful thread!
me and my friends before we drink always ask "Will i need to drive?" if yes its non alcoholic drinks for you all night
totaly agree with you, I drive places so I don't drink - particulary if I'm out on a school night, makes the morning after so much more pleasant.
I am unable to understand why people think they are better drivers after a couple - which usualy means far more than a couple - of pints.
If you are drinking
Don't drive
I think Grumbledook wrapped it up very well with:
'It is not someone else's problem ... *you* can do something about it too. It might be someone you know, you love or you who is affected by this.'
I just don't understand why people still do it in this day and age - everyone knows what could happen but every year people still do it.
@GrumbleDook - That is some chilling reading.
There has to be a slight limit for alcohol in the blood, the humand body manufactures alcohol. Also mouth wash can contain alcohol, plus the odd food too.
I do not condone any sort of DUI.
I've gone as far as warning my daughter that if I ever suspect her of drinking and driving I will report her myself.
What a lot of people ignore/don't realise, is that the chances are the alcohol is still there in the morning when you get in your car to drive to work!
So, despite a night's sleep, you are still no more fit to drive than you were when you left the party/pub/friend's house etc.
What I meant is that there should be a clear law that you do not *consume* alcohol before driving.
The current law is too flakey as an arbitary limit does not take into account how alcohol effects everyone differently. Everyone's judgement is effected after a drink to a lesser or greater extent from slight increase in danger to extreme increase.
Plus we all know that having a drink increases your confidence and for some people makes them think you are ok to drive so its a terrible mix.
Just stay alcohol free.
I think Grumbledook's comments are right; many people who drink and drive do it after leaving a pub etc when lots of people will have seen them and done nothing about it.

2010: Nisha Boyington, Volunteer Girls State senator
2011: Sarah Shaw, Volunteer Girls State governor
2012: Emma McCallie: Volunteer Girls State senator
2013: Emily You, Volunteer Girls State governor
Source: Girls Preparatory School, Volunteer Girls State
For the fourth consecutive year, a student from Girls Preparatory School has been elected to one of the two highest offices at American Legion Auxiliary Volunteer Girls State.
In less than a week's time, Emily You rose from the ranks of 550 delegates at the state conference to become a party delegate, then chairwoman of her party and finally governor of Tennessee Girls State.
Previous GPS delegates who have won either governor or senator offices were Nisha Boyington, Sarah Shaw and Emma McCallie.
"It is somewhat unusual to have a concentration of delegates from the same school attain some of ALA Volunteer Girls State's highest honors," says Julia Wells, chairwoman of ALA Volunteer Girls State. "It reflects the quality of students selected and the community's support of Girls State program."
For Emily, the process "was very exhausting."
"Elections were back-to-back days," she says. "Our days started at 8 or 9 a.m. and would go to 11 p.m. If you were running for election, you had to stay up late writing speeches and getting your information together, so I would usually stay up until 2 or 3 a.m. writing my speeches."
Volunteer Girls State is an annual conference held the last week of May, sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary. This year Girls State convened on the campus of Lipscomb University in Nashville.
Female rising seniors are elected as delegates from each public and private school high school across the state to attend. Some schools might send one delegate, GPS sent five to the conference. Male high school students are elected to American Legion Volunteer Boys State.
The teenage girls were divided into two political parties (Nationalists and Federalists) and 14 cities. Two cities were paired to form a county and the seven counties form legislative districts.
The delegates form and run a mock government and participate in the voting process "in order to learn how to become more informed citizens and effect positive change in their own communities," says Wells.
Emily, 16, daughter of Jae and Kay You, was junior class president at GPS, where she is coxen on the crew team, a Model United Nations delegate and member of Young Life.
After winning a position as Federalist party delegate, she ran against seven candidates to win chairwoman of her party. The next day she threw her hat in the governor's race.
Emily said she ran on her party's platform of more background checks for gun control and simplifying paperwork for teachers "allowing them to get back to the pure goal of teaching."
Jenise Gordon was a Girls State delegate in 1989, returned as a counselor for several years and now is Girls State director of citizenship. She teaches honors biology and environmental science at GPS.
"Girls State governor is the ultimate executive of the state," Gordon explains. "That is an amazing honor, although some people would argue being a Girls Nation senator is an even higher honor because just two are elected and sent from each state to Girls Nation in Washington, D.C. Emily was nominated for senator but did not win."
While Emily says she enjoys debating and has a newfound interest in the electoral process, she wants to pursue a career in medicine. She's already planning an ambitious double major in chemistry and international affairs when she attends college.
"My goal is to become a surgeon," she says.

Did Hemingway Say It?
"Never confuse movement with action."
In A. E. Hotchner's 1966 book, Papa Hemingway, Hotchner recalls a conversation he had with Marlene Dietrich about Hemingway's gift of profound insight. Dietrich had received a lucrative job offer at a Miami night club, but was debating whether or not she should accept it. Hemingway advised: "Don't do what you sincerely don't want to do. Never confuse movement with action."
"Never confuse movement with action" is one of Hemingway's most popular quotations and is included in the book, Neverisms: A Quotation Lover's Guide to Things You Should Never Do, Never Say, or Never Forget.

Term Calendar - Program Format
Flexibility To Fit Your Life
Depending on the other demands you face, you may opt for an accelerated schedule and complete the general certificate through part-time evening study. If you desire a more moderate pace, you may want to enroll in only one course per term. On the other hand, if your schedule allows, you may earn a general certificate by completing ten courses in twelve weeks during a summer of full-time study. As you would expect, choosing to concentrate in a practice area may require additional time for completion.
There are four terms each year: fall, winter, spring and summer. During the fall, winter and spring terms, classes are offered in the evening. Each class meets for eleven weeks.
- 5:30-8:30 p.m.
- One evening per week
Fall Term: September-November
Winter Term: January-March
Spring Term: April-June
Summer Term: June-August
|2014-2015 Schedule

The courses are offered each summer are:
(501) Introduction to Legal System and Paralegalism
(550) Legal Research Methods
(551) Legal Writing and Case Analysis I

(515) Real Estate Law
(524) Corporate and Business Law I

Purchased at iHerb
This is a miracle product. I read this booklet and was skeptical, at first by the claims. However, I tried PGX and was stunned by the feeling of fulness I experienced. I take it before meals no longer have food cravings. I eat less and have lost about 8 lbs. It is a great product to control hunger. Unfortunately, I noticed an increase in my blood pressure and had some rather severe headaches, after taking it so watch out for the headaches.

If an S-Corp is located in the stockholders home can the S-Corp deduct home office expenses?
I know that a sole proprietor can but was wondering if anything is different for an S-Corp?
If so, is there anything else that qualifies such as maintenance, utilities, etc?
asked 09 Oct '09, 21:58
TaxQueries ♦♦
The home office is a little more complex with an S-Corp due to rules about employees leasing home offices to employers.
The most common way to handle this is to have the S-Corporation pay rent to the shareholder for home office space and have the shareholder claim the income on their individual return on Schedule E. So far, the net effect to shareholder is zero because we have rent expense on the Corporation and rental income on the Schedule E. Next you would pick up a percentage of mortgage interest and property tax on the Schedule E; however, that is already deductible on the Schedule A, so really our only real benefit would be other expenses like insurance, utilities, repairs, and maintenance.
The problem is that 280A(c)(6) stops us from being able to claim anything but mortgage interest and property tax on the Schedule E in this situation, so you use a common work around to get the deduction - set up an accountable plan and have the S-Corp reimburse the shareholder monthly for the portion of utilities and other expenses for the rented home office. That way the reimbursed expenses are claimed on the S-Corp return and no longer blocked by 280A(c)(6).
One important thing to understand is recharacterization. The rental income from the S-Corporation is ordinary income and not passive. This is only important if the shareholder has passive activities generating losses. In other words, you cannot use the net rental income from the home office to free up unallowed passive losses on the shareholders "rental" that loses money every year.

The potential benefit from moving mortgage interest and real estate taxes from Schedule A (itemized deductions) are with regards to what State the individual is in and/or if the person itemizes.
If the State starts with Federal Adjusted Gross Income in computation of State Taxable Income, then no deduction is gained from mortgage interest or real estate taxes.
However, Maryland is an example of a State that allows itemized deductions that include mortgage interest and real estate taxes.
(18 Oct '09, 18:17) Brent Berkman
Brent only described in some detail the state tax benefit of recharacterization. The benefit for federal tax purposes is when the taxpayer itemizes deductions on schedule A and has phased out deductions due to income limitations, or if the taxpayer is subject to the AMT, that the portion attributed to the home office becomes fully deductible.
(21 Oct '09, 08:52) Josh
Also, if you have a seperate office or place of work, the home office deduction is disallowed.
answered 16 Oct '09, 17:19
Unless there is a substantial reasonable business purpose for lease of the home office.
(18 Oct '09, 18:19) Brent Berkman
Not if you have a separate office, IRS disallows home office if you already have an office. Then would be an employee situation and can take it as unreimbursed employee business expense on schedule A but ONLY if it is for the benefit of the employer. Obviously if you already have an office outside, then having a home office benefits YOU and not the corporation. IRS will disallow this I am certain but only if you get caught :)
(18 Oct '09, 19:04) SandySea
IRC Section 280A(c)(6) prevents the deduction of anything but mortgage interest and rent in the OP's situation. Unless the taxpayer is NOT itemizing, there is no increased tax benefit. See also page 6 of IRS Publication 587, Business Use of Your Home.
If the S-corp is a non-passive activity for the taxpayer, the rental activity is also non-passive. Thus other passive losses cannot be offset against the rental activity profit.
The best way to handle this is for the employee owned employer to creat an accountable reimbursement plan and then reimburse the employee for the costs of the home office. The employee still has to have a qualified home office (including the exclusive use requirement). The benefit of the employer test is easy; the corporate entity requires the employee to provide his/her own office.
Note: The employee's basis is reduced by depreciation reimbursed by the employer which could create taxable gain at the time the residence is sold.
Using an accountable reimbursement plan means the S-corp employee reports NOTHING on his/her individual tax return and the employer gets a 100% deduction of home office costs (which flow through to the owner on Schedule K-1).

Casino Royale gained literary notoriety in 1953 when the novel introduced the world to James Bond. On Saturday evening, March 31 at 7 p.m. at 926 Round Swamp Road, Old Bethpage, Temple Beth Elohim is creating a modern day Casino Royale fundraiser that will include casino tables, blackjack, roulette, craps, slot machines and Texas Hold'em. In addition to the colorful casino ambience there will be a silent auction including wonderful vacation packages, sports tickets and goods and services from around the community and beyond.
The evening will be highlighted with raffles, appetizers, desserts, and music.
The public is invited to enjoy this wonderful evening. Admission is $30 per person. To start the ball rolling each admission will receive $1000 in Temple Beth Elohim scrip. Additional scrip will be available for purchase. A "Jackpot" auction using the scrip will cap off the evening fun.
Temple Beth Elohim's enthusiastic president, Dan Naftol, anticipates the evening to be, "like going to Las Vegas, but without the hassles of the airport."
Cantor Richard Pilatsky has been the musical inspiration at Temple Beth Elohim since 1999. His Adult Choir enhances Shabbat and Holiday services with some of the great choral masterpieces, which define the Reform Movement. Cantor Pilatsky is proud that "Temple Beth Elohim is in the forefront of new programming, whether from an educational, spiritual, or communal point of view," he said. "The Casino Royale Night is another example of our efforts to serve, not only our own congregants, but the entire community as well. Come see what we have to offer. You won't be disappointed!"

Eating Right Better on the Pocketbook, TooIf there was one positive side effect of the country's economic woes, it would be the closer attention many people are paying to their personal spending habits. Whether laid off or not, many people started examining their personal finances more once the economy started to struggle.
What many Americans discovered was irresponsible financial habits characterized by excessive spending and not nearly enough saving. Though it's easy to point to overspending on household appliances, additions or even the house itself as poor financial decisions, many people are overspending every day in a more subtle way. Though it might not seem like much, how you spend on what you're eating is no doubt a bigger drain on your finances, not to mention your health, than you might realize. Fortunately, there are ways to eat healthier and save money at the same time.

Magnificent Flower Sculptures At Bloemencorso Zundert Flower Parade [Fwd: Sharon Rajkumar]
Magnificent Flower Sculptures At Bloemencorso Zundert Flower Parade
Flower parades are held all over the world, but the one that takes place in Zundert, the Netherland, is extraordinarily artistic. It's also the largest parade in the world. Huge floats are made of wire, cardboard and papier-mâché and entirely covered in dahlias in intricate designs. The dahlias for grown specifically for the parade, and thousands of them are required just to cover one float.
The huge floats are made by twenty different hamlets and each of them consists of hundreds of builders, aged 1 to 100, who are all equally crazy about the bloemencorso. The older members of the hamlet are often responsible for planting and growing the dahlias, while the younger ones build the float in large temporary tents that are built exclusively for the event.
The parade itself takes place on the first Sunday of September, but the members of the hamlets work on their floats all summer. The tents are put up in May or June and from then on the volunteers put all their effort in creating the giant artworks. The last three days before the actual parade are the most stressful. Because the flowers have to be fresh, the hamlets can only start applying the dahlias on the floats on the Thursday before the parade. If necessary, the builders will work day and night to have their float ready on Sunday.
Most people in Zundert will happily give up their days off to work on the float. The social cohesion that comes from building it is very important. A hamlet is like a family where everyone knows each other and everyone is welcome. After a long evening working on the float people drink a beer together and most hamlets organize all kinds of other activities like song contests and barbecues.

Lights, Camera … Distribution!
You've had the brilliant story idea. You've cobbled together
cast, crew and even some of the financing, and now you're nearly done with your
first film. What's the next step? How do you get your films about queer women
viewed by the lesbian and bi women who are hungry for more representation on
Though it may not be evident by looking at box-office
receipts or Nielsen ratings, there are more avenues for the distribution and
consumption of films by and about lesbians and bi women than ever before. Which
avenue a filmmaker chooses to explore depends on her goals for the film and how
much post-filmmaking work she wants to do herself.
Many filmmakers think first about the film festival circuit,
and indeed, having your film screened at a major independent film festival like
Sundance, Toronto or Berlin, or one of the LGBT festivals like Frameline in San
Francisco, Outfest in Los Angeles or NewFest in New York, adds prestige to your
résumé — more still if your film wins an award. This can be a huge asset when
you are looking for places to screen and sell your film in the future.
Then there is theatrical release — what Mark Reinhart, executive
vice president of distribution and acquisitions for here! Films, calls
"the holy grail for filmmakers, to see their film in theaters."
Lesser-known but additional ways to be seen by larger audiences are educational
and other institutional rentals. Other options include cable and broadcast
television airings and DVD releases — all targeted at the home viewer — and,
increasingly, Internet streaming and downloads to mobile devices, such as cell
phones and other PDAs.
How does a filmmaker get access to these venues? If the goal
is to have a film accessible to as many viewers as possible with little work or
effort, online resources are an easy way to go. Anyone can upload a file to
YouTube, for example. But most filmmakers have put out a lot of money and time
for their project and understandably have a desire at least to recoup expenses
and, perhaps, make a profit, too, which can then help them finance their next
Madeleine Lim, executive director and founder of San
Francisco's Queer Women of Color Media Arts Project, calls filmmaking "one
of the most expensive art forms that still exists, because of the buying of the
film stock and tape stock and the processing involved, and the time involved,
and all of the different hats you have to wear." A number that commonly
gets cited is $1,000 per finished minute. So, for example, a 10-minute short
film would cost a filmmaker about $10,000 to make.
"And this is an independent estimate," Lim adds,
"where you get your cast and crew for free, [and] you might feed them,
things like that." It does not include potential costs like location
rental, the purchase of computer systems, or marketing and promotion.
One way to get a film out there in ways that will provide
some financial return is to contact all the film festivals, PBS stations, cable
stations, DVD distribution companies and online streaming channels in North
America and abroad. This takes a great deal of time, energy and hard work,
especially if you don't already know and have access to the people in the film
industry, but it has the potential for the greatest financial return, because you're
not sharing any money you make with another company.
Another option is to sell the rights to your film to a
distribution company. Each company has different contracts specifying what they
will do, but generally, they might submit the film to festivals, sell the
television airing rights, arrange for the DVD production and distribution,
license the content for online streaming, and perhaps even arrange for a
theatrical release. Traditionally, the distribution company keeps a large
portion of the return from these deals, since they have the resources and do the
legwork required to secure them, and the filmmaker gets a smaller percentage.
A combination of these approaches — DIY distribution and
signing with a distribution company for some pieces of the puzzle — is also
possible with some creative planning and strategizing. Networking with other
LGBT filmmakers is one way to learn about what has and has not worked in
particular situations. There are a variety of ways to find other filmmakers: at
classes and workshops, LGBT and other film festivals and screenings, and
Jenni Olson, an independent filmmaker, LGBT film historian,
founder of PopcornQ (one of the Web's original LGBT film websites), and now Director
of E-Commerce and Consumer Marketing at Wolfe Video, says,
"The most important thing is to talk with other filmmakers and learn from
their experiences. The LGBT filmmaker community is amazing for that."
Olson created the PopcornQ Film & Video Professionals
List in the mid-1990s for LGBT film and video professionals. Olson has compiled
information about the list and other resources for LGBT filmmakers and posted
it online.

PITTSBURGH PSC Metals Inc. plans to shutter half a dozen scrapyards and idle some shredding assets in the second quarter.
"We are making the decisions that are necessary to keep our business focused on our overall success strategies," Robert B. Brewer, chief executive officer of the Mayfield Heights, Ohio-based recycler and broker, told AMM.
Slated for closure in the second quarter of this year are facilities in Gadsden, Ala.; Scottsboro, Ala.; Dalton, Ga.; Shelbyville, Tenn.; West Knoxville, Tenn.; and Springfield, Ohio.
Additionally, the shredding operations at the companys Wooster, Ohio, and Festus, Mo., yards are now idle.
Brewer took the helm of PSC Metals last August (amm.com, Aug. 29) and since then has been working to turn the company around.
PSC Metals in the fourth quarter of 2012 cut its work force (amm.com, Nov. 9), and shut its facilities in Greenville, Tenn., and Rome, Ga.
Industry veterans call the moves prudent and necessary. "The scrap industry is like it was back in 1982, which was an ugly time. Our company is not running its shredder every month, and we have divested of money-losing propositions. ... Everyone needs to take a similar cue and start closing down yards. Brewer seems like he is doing the right thing. This is just the tip of the iceberg industrywide, and I wonder who else is going to get smart," a competitor of PSC Metals said.
"Brewer is my direct competitor, but he has all my respect," according to a second competitor, who sells into the Ohio and Pennsylvania markets. "Id invest in this company now, because this is a guy who actually has a plan. PSC is a big companyjust wait, this news will start a wave of closures."
The company, a division of New York-based Icahn Enterprises LP, posted a $6-million net loss in the first quarter, noting that competition for feedstock continues to hurt margins (amm.com, May 6).
