Ritchies auction house has apologized to Don Cherry for erroneously promoting a mansion as having belonged to the Hockey Night in Canada icon.
The auctioneers said in a statement Tuesday afternoon that the "trusted" owner had told them Cherry previously owned the Mississauga, Ont., home.
Cherry denied he ever lived in the house earlier Tuesday:
1) It's pretty low for an auction house to use my name to sell a house. People need to check their facts. I have never lived in the house
— Don Cherry (@CoachsCornerCBC) August 5, 2014
2) on Mississauga Road. Liars.
— Don Cherry (@CoachsCornerCBC) August 5, 2014
3) It's ridiculous for anyone to think that I would live in a 10,500 square foot home
— Don Cherry (@CoachsCornerCBC) August 5, 2014
The sprawling Mississauga mansion is set to hit the auction block on Aug. 17 and is expected to sell for approximately $8 million.
The 10,500-square-foot home, being handled by realtor Sam McDadi, features a modest 12 bathrooms, a swimming pool, a tennis court, a four-car garage, five bedrooms and nine fireplaces.

The Invisible Cure: Africa, the West, and the Fight Against AIDS
by Helen Epstein
No current Talk conversations about this book.
One of the better HIV books I've read recently. Epstein writes well and although this is information-heavy, it moves right along and I was sorry when I finished.
Epstein's focus is on infrastructure misunderstandings about African HIV transmission and faulty prevention and intervention strategies based on incorrect assumptions. She updates the reader on relatively new theories of HIV's origins and early spread (including a very clear explanation of how passaging strengthens a virus). She answers the important questions that were not addressed in Togarasei et al.'s [b:The Faith Sector and HIV/AIDS in Botswana: Responses and Challenges|12210327|The Faith Sector and HIV/AIDS in Botswana Responses and Challenges|Lovemore Togarasei|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1327958008s/12210327.jpg|17183292], which are What did sexual partnerships look like prior to the arrival of Christianity, and does that affect HIV transmission patterns? Her answers are that in many of the areas currently hardest hit by HIV, polygamy/polyandry was socially acceptable, and that concurrent long-term partnerships may spread HIV more effectively than serial monogamy. If that's hard to picture, she's included a flip book. Really. It's the only scientific treatise I've ever seen with a flip book, and it's quite effective.
The last couple of chapters are less-well integrated and read more like articles. The last chapter ends abruptly and disappointingly. I would have liked at least a summary of the book's main recommendations.
Everything I wanted to know about HIV/AIDS and how it functions in Uganda. Written in a way that anyone can understand the complexities of this disease.
An interesting book about how Westerners naively or negligently misunderstood how HIV spread in Africa, spending huge amounts of money on relatively ineffective responses. I found particularly interesting how different African nations responded to the AIDS epidemic and the different consequences. Some of the later chapters read more like standalone essays, rather than part of a cohesive whole, but all of the book was interesting.
One of the better AIDS books. Very well written and really quite engaging. Struggles, though, between the desire to follow the science and the need not to be TOO politically incorrect. Ultimately, Epstein believes that the behaviours that spread AIDS in Africa will only change when communities organise to foster that change. I think she perhaps understates the influence that political leadership can have over communities.
After working in Namibia with the Peace Corps from 2004-2006, I have a pretty good knowledge of the HIV/AIDS situation. However, I always find it difficult to annunciate my thoughts on HIV to people who ask me about my time there. With this book, I now have an excellent method of education. This book is a very insightful picture of the situation on the ground in developing countries where HIV is a major issue. Epstein has spent time on the ground and accurately records her experiences in Africa while bringing to light the corruption and waste inherent in the system. Part of the effectiveness of the book comes from her exclusive focus on Africa and African culture which helps the reader to understand why the rate there is so high. Although the reader may be more frustrated with the issue of HIV/AIDS in general, the average reader will have a much better idea of the complexity of the situation after reading this book.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0374281521, Hardcover)
In 1993, Helen Epstein, a scientist working with a biotechnology company searching for an AIDS vaccine, moved to Uganda, where she witnessed firsthand the suffering caused by the epidemic. Now, in her unsparing and illuminating account of this global disease, she describes how international health experts, governments, and ordinary Africans have struggled to understand the rapid and devastating spread of the disease in Africa, and traces the changes wrought by new medical developments and emerging political realities. It is an account of scientific discovery and intrigue with implications far beyond the fight against one tragic disease.
The AIDS epidemic is partly a consequence of the rapid transition of African societies from an agrarian past to an impoverished present. Millions of African people have yet to find a place in an increasingly globalized world, and their poverty and social dislocation have generated an earthquake in gender relations that deeply affects the spread of HIV. But Epstein argues that there are solutions to this crisis, and some of the most effective ones may be simpler than many people assume.
Written with conviction, knowledge, and insight, Why Don't They Listen? will change how we think about the worst health crisis of the past century, and our strategies for improving global public health.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:04:34 -0400)
"The Invisible Cure will change the way we think about AIDS, a disease without precedent; and it will change the way we think about Africa and Africans, whose insight, wisdom, and care for the stranger will be as crucial as money and medical know-how if they are to overcome this terrible health crisis."--BOOK JACKET.… (more)

For those of you that have fenders on your touring bike, do you remove them when you are not touring? Assuming, that is, that you use your touring bike for more than just going on tour. (I know some of you have multiple bikes.)
I put fenders on my new Cannondale touring bike, but now I am thinking I should take them off and save them for when I actually go on a tour. Reasons being are that with the fenders on I have toe overlap with the front fender that did not exist before, and I am somewhat concerned about the fenders getting damaged over time as I use my touring bike as my primary road bike (for general recreational riding -- I have another bike to commute with).

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer Now.
Hi, thanks for your question. You should hire a lawyer for specific legal advice. No attorney client relationship is created here.
Sorry to see that you have run in to such trouble.
What is the reason the case was dismissed?
Once dismissed,(or closed without discharge) a case can be reopened ($260 court fee).
You should talk to your attorney, or call the bankruptcy court clerk to see why the case was dismissed/closed without discharge.
If the attorney made a mistake, then they should cover the cost to fix the problem.
If the case was dismissed for other reasons, work with the attorney to reach a compromise to resolve the matter.
If you wish to do it without your lawyer, you can, or you can even hire another attorney to assist you.
Keep in mind, to reopen a closed case, it is $260 to the court for their fee, on top of anything the attorney would charge you.
Let me know the reason for dismissal, and I can give you further guidance.
The dismisal was for the credit counseling certificate part 1 not being forwarded to the court and I just found out also for two pay stubs just prior to filing not being sent to the court. In both cases (certificate was sent to him by me and Debtorwise) the documentation was provided to the attorney but they didn't get them off to the court. After getting 2 dismisal notices I was concerned whether there were 2 seperate issues or it was just a duplicate... and I was told in an email there was no issue the case was back on.
I emailed every time I had a concern and was told nothing to worry about.. you're good to go and like I said sent a letter saying they were enclosing a discharge that I now find never existed.
I see. so, if you can show that you had the certificate with your lawyer when they filed, the court should reopen the case no problem to get the certificate on file. If must have been completed before the case was filed. Also, if you had given your attorney the stubs, and they failed to get them to the trustee, you can argue just that in the motion to reopen the case to enter the cert and the stubs for your trustee. If the attorney had them and didn't do their job, you need to hold them accountable...and if they refuse, then you can file a complaint with the disciplinary committee in your state.
Either way it will cost $260 to reopen the case, and it sounds like your attorney should pay...they should have known that the certificate is needed, and when they got the first notice, they should have taken steps to correct the mistake.
The court will give you leniency if you do it on your own if the attorney messed up. They may even disgorge some attorneys fees and give them back to you! You should ask!
Let me know if you have any other questions. thanks

Voter approval of new school is not an invitation for growth
Cape voters sent a strong message last week: Children deserve up-todate schools built where they live. Sixty percent of Cape voters approved a tax increase to pay for a new elementary school on Route 24, across the road from the Beacon Middle School campus.
But that should not mean voters want more growth. Opponents to the plan complained Route 24 is already congested, and most Cape Region residents would agree. Still, by building a school closer to where hundreds of students live, the new school should shorten bus rides – and that means more children will get to school faster.
That could reduce the number of parents who routinely drive their children to school.
The new elementary will serve students who already live in the Cape Region. But every day, new homes are going up, and more projects are pending – including a zoning change request to allow increased density on a Route 24 parcel near the planned school.
County officials should not take approval of the new school as an invitation to approve more housing.
On the contrary, council should approve no more requests for residential or commercial upzoning until it can enact impact fees to offset the costs that an increasing population requires, including schools.
While they are at it, now is the time to clearly limit building height. Instead of rethinking the entire height ordinance, just close the loophole that has allowed several recent buildings to rise beyond the long-held limit of 42 feet.
Land in our region is only going to increase in value, and with rising land value comes pressure to build higher buildings or otherwise increase density.
For council, the decision is simple: No free increases in building heights, and no free increases in density.
The time has come to demand that developers pay a more equitable share of the cost of future growth.
The Love Creek RV park is the largest threat of growth (inappropriate for a neighboring school) to this area. Remember it would be located on the same parcel of land as the new school. To County Council - the approval of the new school should be the final proof that this is the wrong place for an RV campground: 628 sites/nearly 3,000 people/too many vehicles. Please vote NO. To Lingo/Townsend - better still, make the right choice and cancel this project now. You profited from the sale of the school property - move the RV park to a more suitable location.

I think it was nice how sometimes in gta4 but more often I think it TBOGT and TLAD the car you drove up to the mission, post cutscene would be parked nicely across the road or some shit. It made me more confident to take my car but it was too inconsistent, you never know when the mission you're going on would lose you the car or let you keep it.
That's the only real problem i had with GTA in the past. It's the reason i never really took my cars out of my garage unless i felt lazy. If they bring back 'Car Modding' in GTA V, i'll probably still not take my cars out of storage all that often because i invested time and money on them. Unless money is in abundance, then i'll be more reckless and just go with the flow.

1950's FEDERAL GLASS CO. 8 PC. HOMESTEAD SNACK SE Description: This is an 8 PIECE SNACK SET that was put out by the FEDERAL GLASS COMPANY in the late 1950's. This set is still in the original box and on the bos it says HOMESTEAD SNACK SET - ANOTHER PRODUCT OF THE FEDERAL GLASS CO. COLUMBUS 7, OHIO. FOUR PLATES - FOUR CUPS. The Federal Glass Company started in 1900 and was one of the major producers of Depression Glass in the 1930's and 1940's. By the time the 1950's came around, plastic had hit the market and glass and pottery companies started to feel the loss of revenue. Many companies started to go out of business in the late 1950's and there was a steady stream of closed glass and pottery companies through the 1960's and 1970's. The Federal Glass Company finally closed their doors in 1980. This is a snack set from the 1950's and this is evident because there is no zip code on the original box. But, the quality of glass is good, but the buying public turned their attention to plastic and materials. It is now the collectors who appreciate the quality of work that was evident in these older glass and pottery companies. This is a unique snack set, a concept that was popular in the 1950's and 1960's. As the lifestyle of American changed, the need for Snack Sets vanished. You rarely see items such as this being made today. In some picnic sets you see a similar concept. But snack glass sets are not being made today. Condition Report: This set is still in the original box and the items are in great shape.

March 10, 2006
By Jeff Honza
CARBONDALE, Ill. - Right-hander Matt Scott struck out six and didn't allow a walk in eight shutout innings to lead Middle Tennessee State (5-5) to a 9-0 win over Southern Illinois University (11-5) earlier today at Abe Martin Field.
Scott, who went 10-1 as MTSU's ace a year ago, held SIU hitless in the second, sixth and seventh innings, while retiring 10 of 11 Salukis before leaving the game in the ninth.
"Scott challenged us all day long and they outplayed us," said Saluki head coach Dan Callahan.
While Scott was mowing down the Saluki lineup, MTSU's offense entered the day looking for a breakout performance after hitting .188 (9-for-48) with runners in scoring position in its last five games.
And, with all but one Blue Raider starter getting a hit, MTSU went 6-for-16 (.375) in those situations, despite leaving 10 runners on base.
Already ahead 3-0, the top half of MTSU's lineup erupted for three-straight two-out hits in a four-run sixth.
Two and three-hole hitters Wayne Kendrick and Jeff Beachum each rallied for back-to-back RBI-singles, while Michael McKenry launched a two-run homer to left. McKenry, who also homered against the Dawgs last season, extended MTSU's lead to 7-0.
One more two-out hit, a two-RBI double by Chase Eakes, sealed the 9-0 win in the eighth.
Scott, who also scattered six hits, moved to 2-1 on the year.
Meanwhile, four junior college transfers took the mound for SIU.
Jordan Powell (3-2) suffered the loss after giving up nine hits and five runs in 5.2 innings. He also struck out two and walked three.
Kyle Catto, Cory Baker and Jordan Garner finished things out. Catto (0.1 IP) and Baker (1.2 IP) each allowed two runs and two hits, while combining for three walks, before Garner gave up a hit in the final 1.1 innings.
Freshman Scott Elmendorf went 3-for-4 to pave the way for SIU, who has been held under 10 hits in four of its last six games.
Defensively, the Salukis went errorless for the first time this season. Prior to today, SIU had committed 19 errors over a five-game span.
SIU and MTSU play again at 1 p.m., tomorrow.
Other Notes: Saluki leadoff hitter Kevin Koski has gone hitless in four of his last six games ... he is 2-for-27 (.074) in that span ... Koski opened the year by hitting safely in eight of his first nine games, with multiple-hits in seven-straight contests (Feb. 12-26) ... his only two hits since then, came against Northern Illinois (Mar. 3, Mar. 5) a week ago ... today's loss marked SIU's second-straight, as the Salukis have dropped four of their last five ... SIU has been shut out in three of its five losses this season.

State Treasurer Dan Rutherford is being accused of misconduct by one of his employees, but he believes the accusation is really an attack from one of his Republican rivals in the race for governor.
Rutherford says the allegations are false, though he declined to describe them. He claims the allegation is being orchestrated by Bruce Rauner.
According to Rutherford, the link is an attorney named Christine Svenson, who had done work for the Rauner campaign in the past, and is now representing the unnamed employee. Rutherford and his attorneys claim Svenson wanted a payment of $300,000 to have the employee "keep it under wraps."
"You put these dots together, there's no question in my mind what's going on here," Rutherford said. "Someone tried to get $300,000 and is being represented by an attorney that was on Bruce Rauner's payroll."
The Rauner campaign says Svenson was paid a one-time fee of $3,500 to review an office space lease last year. Rutherford promises to launch an independent investigation into the allegations.
Rutherford, Rauner and state Sens. Bill Brady and Kirk Dillard are seeking the Republican nomination.

CSS designates the manner in which those structural elements will be displayed on various platforms.
Browsers do have defaults for how certain HTML tags will be rendered, but unless you are targeting text browsers, the default settings are rather plain or require a great deal more markup to achieve the same visual effect as opposed to using HTML+CSS.
While no browser supports CSS 100%, particularly for questions of positioning and layout, almost every browser since IE 3.0 can handle CSS for simple text formatting and visual effects. I would definitely say HTML+CSS is the way you should go.

Now apply that to all the tags that you'd have to manually attribute parameters too, and you would have alot of extra lines of code. Over time you'd use a lot of bandwidth and if you ever needed to change the font of a tag you'd have to open ever file and change it instead of just tweeking one line in css.
On various web pages concerning CSS, there are different ways to create things using CSS which I became lost.
I can understand that CSS can control the style of multipages from single file, using minimial html tags and all that, but I find it easier to do straight html than to use CSS. Is there any better document or books else than that famous Eric Meyer that can help me to establish transition from straight html to CSS with ease?
but I find it easier to do straight html than to use CSS.
That's definitely true for very small sites -- ones with just a few pages.
But plan ahead for a larger site. You go dozens (at least) of pages all with font tags and other visual mark-up in every h1 and p and td.
Then you decide to change the look.
Imagine finding and changing all the correct font tags. Then repeat ten times to see what looks best. Then revert to the 6th variant as it looked the best.
Now imagine doing the same thing with a single entry in a CSS file that affects every page at once.
It's worth learning CSS for that alone.
there are generally no crossbrowser problems with CSS when it's used to apply colors/backgrounds/font family etc.. (in fact css gives you more power of suggestion as to font family for example..)
the "problems" arise when you delve into CSS-P (CSS Positioning), but don't let that put you off.. IMHO you should learn CSS in it's simplest form for all the reasons stated above.. and I would strongly recommend removing all coloring/font-family rules to CSS if nothing else. It will serve as a good base to understanding how CSS works
Code bloat

My header text

My header text

You don't need to define a class for your h1 tag, just style h1 in your CSS! As you'll only have one h1 tag per page (because that's the semantically correct way to use h1) there's no need to have any h1 classes.
In fact, I find that by using only native HTML tags with no classes defined (and by using those tags in a semantically correct manner), and then styling the plain tags in my external CSS, I get great-looking pages with hardly any code. My web page is HTML only, and there's a link to an external style sheet, and that's it. Only on rare occasions do I need to define a class (for example if I have two different varieties of data tables, or if I want some illustrative images to be floated and bordered).
That's what makes css so powerful - when used properly the design will degrade gracefully in older browsers. Using css and getting rid of the "bloat" in your code can also play a part in making your site more accessible and standards compliant - which, in turn can make it possible for more devices to access your site.
If you're not ready for css-p you can always use the hybrid xhtml table based layout that uses minimal tables for positioning and css for margins, padding, colors, and font styling. It's a good alternative that plays nice with older browsers.
Like others have stated here font styling is the best place to start and go from there.
Here are a few resouces helped me out a great deal with learning css:
A List Apart
The book "Designing With Web Standards" by Jeffrey Zeldman
My 2 cents....
The book "Designing With Web Standards" by Jeffrey Zeldman
Even if you don't like "Z" this book is a must, it's title is slightly misleading (or possibly a deliberate headline?) The standard he actually refers to are not just the W3 "recommendations" but THE standard as applied to where browsers are at the time of writing.. it's very enlightening for everyone even considering CSS, you can take what you want from it.. it's not a set of laid down rules.
my 2p, it's THE best WEB (note not just CSS) book I've read in ages.. It's not a cover to cover read as it can be overpowering but it is worth it
You can hide CSS rules from NN4 by a variety of hacks - I'm sure you know them, and there are plenty of references in this forum anyway.
I use them to hide everything except colours, centering of headings and the suchlike, so that NN4 users, such as they are, get a minimally-styled page.
There's actually an advantage to doing this, since it makes NN4 a diagnostic tool. You can use it to check that the basic CSS is working fine before looking for the problem in the more complex stuff.
As far as the thread title is concerned, surely it should be "CSS and straight html coding versus deprecated html for layout"?
[added]Oh, and Suzy, thanks for the book reference (meant to say that originally, not really an afterthought)[/added]
It feels good to actually converse in a forum. I've been lurking behind the shadows on various forums for 5 years now but never posting. I'd like to think I've attained enough knowledge now to begin to help others (at least when I find the time!) - particularly with css and html.

Texas-Sized Formwork
Bexar Concrete Works I used Hamilton Forms' 11-foot forms to create 97-foot prestressed concrete haunch girders.
The super-sized girders will be part of a new DART light rail system connecting downtown Dallas with the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.
The Dallas area Rapid Transit Authority's (DART) 45-mile light rail system is one of the best in the nation. With funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, DART has launched a major expansion.
One section of the rail system will travel over a 550-foot prestressed concrete bridge spanning the Trinity River levy. The 260-foot center span consists of 97-foot-long x 10-foot, 10-inch-tall haunch girders at the piers and a middle drop beam section 160-foot-long x 6-foot, 10-inches-tall. The end and center spans of the bridge are typical TX82 girders.
The precast/prestressed producer, San Antonio-based Bexar Concrete Works I, chose Hamilton Form Co. in Fort Worth, Texas, to build forms for the project. "On a complex design/build project of this magnitude, the forms play a critical role in the project's success," says Bexar's Jorge Hinojosa.
To cast the 97-foot-long haunch girders, Hamilton Form built 11-foot, 2-inch-tall haunch sideforms and a 33-inch-wide soffit. The soffit slopes 4 feet in the middle to create the drop in the center of the beam. "We built a sloped soffit instead of sloped sideforms to make it easier for the customer to set up the formwork," says Taylor Slate, engineering manager. "The formwork is built in sections. Each section of soffit and sideforms is matched and marked on a dead level working jig, and we set up and check the forms before shipping."
The manufacturer sealed the form against the soffit with a thru tie system 2 inches below the bottom casting surface. Top ties and thru ties were spaced closer together in the maximum height area of the girder for added support. Vi-brotrack was installed to slide vibrators along the form to consolidate the concrete. Two pour openings prevented the concrete from dropping the full height of the form during the pour.
Visit Hamilton Form at booth #424 at the PCI Show and at www.hamiltonform.com.
Light-duty forms
Light-duty bases, risers, and flat top forms are up to 72 in. in diameter and are fabricated with a thinner steel plate and a slightly lighter gage of channel rib reinforcing, for a typical cost savings of 25% compared to traditional forms. All other parts of the form are exactly the same. Besser Co. 800-968-0444. www.besser.com
Precast bollards
The Precast Bollard is a polyethylene pipe with a domed top that is designed to be filled with concrete for added strength. The shell, available in standard or custom colors, eliminates the painting and maintenance of steel pipes. The 7 ft.-tall forms are available in 4- and 7.5-in. diameters. Strike Products. 800-262-4129. www.striketool.com
Cast natural looking walls
CreteWood and CreteStone concrete retaining walls feature realistic wood grain and stone textures. Precast panels up to 5 ft. long fit together with an interlocking design. Licensed manufacturers receive a turnkey system of mold boxes, specific concrete mix, a coloring process, and marketing support. CreteWood Products. 314-822-8572. www.cretewoodproducts.com
Lightweight modular forms
Create precast concrete structures in an infinite number of sizes and shapes with lightweight modular forms. The long-lasting, low-maintenance system consists of simple-to-use forms that help precasters make higher quality products. The heavy-duty lightweight forms include pallet and header systems. Wall-Ties and Forms Inc. 800-444-9692. www.wallties.com
High-strength metal casting
Use BMF Metal Forms for industrial, residential, and commercial jobs, including concrete sidewalks, curbs and gutters, runways, median barriers, and bridge parapets. The forms are sheared, punched, assembled, and welded with maximum strength and rigidity for easy setup, stripping, and reuse. RCL Enterprises. 315-532-1530. www.jaquith.com
The Wedge-It box culvert wet casting form uses wedge motion to release the concrete inner core from the mold. The form helps reduce labor costs with adjustable legs, and header and pallet rings, and a no-hinge design. Interchangeable core and jacket panels can be adjusted to 52 sizes, up to 10 x 12 ft.

My wife can't ride a traditional bicycle. Can't. Physically unable to do it.
We're both clydes seeking to change. I am having a great time on both of my bikes, but I'm looking for something uber-comfy for my wife to ride, that won't take up a ton of space.
I saw a Revive today, and it looks like something she'd be comfortable on, and it appears to possibly be a folder as well. Folded and bent. That's awesome.
Does anyone know what kind of weight capacity they have? I'd almost be afraid of breaking it, but it looks really comfy, not quite the traditional recumbent, more like an office chair with kid's BMX wheels. The both of us are sort of "wide in the hips" if you know what I mean, which is one reason the Revive looked so attractive when I saw it.
Any other feedback? It appears there's 3 different trim levels (a fixie, a RD-only and a front/rear derailleur model). I can't find anywhere that's listing a price, but I assume it's probably somewhere past the $600 mark for the one with only a rear derailleur, which is probably the one I'd get.
Thanx in advance.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is central to the national and international KPMG network and our values.
Answer today's questions, and ask tomorrow's with KPMG's revamped Thought Leadership App.
The sport of golf, with the precision of the game and the determination involved to succeed, mimics KPMG's own mindset towards business, with our dedication to our clients, and our expertise with highly technical and complex matters.
We at KPMG want to create a way to share experiences and start a conversation around family business. We want to connect with you, and share our insight, our experience, our research, and our point of view, and we want to talk about what matters to you.
In the current economic and financial climate banks are faced with a multitude of business challenges that need to be addressed.
Transport faces an intensely competitive environment in which market consolidation and the merging of public and private sectors have become critical issues.
Our trusted advisors are people you can turn to for support, always available. They are there to guide you through your transformation.
Together with Vlerick Business School, KPMG executed a study on the future of the Belgian banking industry. The study was conducted through personal interviews with the executives of 15 Belgian banks, mainly CEOs and/or CFOs.
Keep up to date with the latest news and views from KPMG in Belgium by following our twitter feed.
KPMG wants to identify the small, medium and large challenges faced by Belgian companies today. To accomplish this, we need your help. Participate in this short survey and win a "Quick Scan" from one of our experts.
1. Electronic invoicing and archivingSince a few years, the Belgian legislator allows that invoices can be transmitted electronically, under the condition the acceptance by the contracting partner and provided that the authenticity of origin and the integrity of the content of the invoice are guaranteed, trough an advanced electronic signature mechanism, an exchange of computerized data (EDI) or any other technique that offers the same level of guarantee.
Therefore, the Belgian VAT legislation was already well advanced. However, the law specifies and simplifies some aspects:
2. The invoice is no longer a cause for the chargeability of the VATUp to now, the VAT is in principle payable when the supply of goods or services is completed, except in case all or part of the price is received or invoiced before this moment. In practice, the VAT is due by the supplier when he issues an invoice to his client.
The rules are now modified. The VAT will now only be due in the following two cases:
i. When the supply of the goods or the services is completedii. When the payment is received
In other words, issuing an invoice will become irrelevant for the chargeability of the VAT. Indeed, an invoice issued before the supply or the receipt of the payment will not make the VAT payable.
An adaptation of the accounting software is therefore essential in order to dissociate the VAT reporting of the transactions from the invoice date.
Regarding the VAT treatment of advances, comments are expected from the VAT authorities. In this respect, it can be imagined that prior "invitations to pay" are sent to the client before sending a proper invoice. However, this method will, in our view, create a lot of complexity regarding the VAT accounting of advances.
3. The cash accounting becomes applicable even in case an invoice is issuedRegarding the supply of movable goods and services to individuals (i.e. B2C), the VAT becomes payable, in accordance with the VAT rules, to the extent that the price is received.
In this context, the taxpayer should not issue an invoice.
Henceforth, as the issuing of an invoice will be irrelevant to determine when the VAT will become chargeable, the cash accounting regime remains applicable even in case an invoice is issued.
4. Implicit acceptance in case of self-billingThe invoicing by the contracting partner, in the name and on behalf of the supplier, currently requires a written agreement between the parties and requires that each invoice is subject to a procedure of acceptance by the supplier.
Henceforth, an implicit acceptance of the invoice itself is sufficient. This can result from the invoicing by the contracting partner or a payment by the supplier. Please note that even if a written agreement can no longer be imposed, it is, however, always advisable.
An adaptation of the circular letter n°48/2005 regarding self-billing is therefore expected.
5. MiscellaneousPlease note also the following changes:

Poster Set-up Instructions
As part of the new meeting format this year, all posters will be displayed together during the Presidents Reception being held on Monday evening, Oct 25, from 6-9pm.
Due to limited space, poster boards will be shared (2 displays on one side, 2 on the other). Two posters will be displayed (side by side) on each side of a 4' x 8' board. Therefore, each poster will have a display space of 4 feet high by 4 feet wide. Demos and videos will be be able to be displayed on the entire 4' x 8' board. Except for demos and videos, spaces are not assigned, so you may choose your board location as soon as the room is available.
Set-up: 10am - 3pm, Monday Oct. 25
Display Time: Presidents Reception, 6-9pm, Monday, Oct. 25
Break Down: 9pm, Monday, Oct. 25
Please prepare all materials in advance. We will not print and mount posters or copy handouts. We will provide push pins, but if you need other materials to attach your poster, please bring these with you.
No electrical support will be available in the poster area. If your display includes electrical equipment, you will need to provide your own power source, such as a battery.
Lettering should be simple, bold, and easily legible from a distance of 4 feet. Lettering for the title should be at least 1.5 inches high. Under the heading, include the names of authors and their affiliations in smaller lettering.
In the body text, keep the number of words to a minimum: please remember that this is not a paper. Arrange the elements in a logical sequence: introduction or statement of the problem or issue, objectives of the research or project, methodology used, major findings or outcomes, interpretations or significance of findings or outcomes, and conclusions. Use numbers if necessary to ensure that readers can follow the sequence.
Illustrations and color will enhance the effectiveness of your presentation. Tables, figures, and photographs are encouraged. While you should consider graphic impact, note that simplicity and legibility are more important than artistic embellishments. The background of the poster may be any color, so long as there is a strong light-dark contrast between background and lettering. The boards provided for mounting posters are usually beige or white.

I had an idea for a rift scene, here is a 1 minute sketch for the general layout
# Latest WIP #
After I had already made a good part of the map, I decided to change to an isometric view.
This are some hours of work.
### Latest WIP ###
Ooh, now that looks really nice. I imagine it did take quite a bit of work. Great work.
Naughty isometric Sapiento! But it looks pretty dang awesome.
Excellent map!
My Battlemaps Gallery http://www.cartographersguild.com/al...p?albumid=3407
Superb! It took me ages to work out why anyone thought the map could be naughty: evidence of a pure, untainted mind I think.
Wow, this came out of nowhere! I'm really gonna have to try an isometric map soon, they look so cool. You've done a great job here!
Thank you, guys. I don't make this kind of iso maps very often, and I thinks it's not too bad.

The 7 Best San Francisco Albums of 2010
Not to diss 2009 or jinx 2011, but this was an unusually exciting and solid year for our bustling little music scene. As the notoriously NYC-biased Pitchfork recently put it, our fair city is "slowly threatening to eclipse Brooklyn in the ranks of regional talent." Hey-yo! Listed below are seven full length releases (sorry, Girls) from the year that particularly stood out to us, along with five additional LPs too good not to mention.
The Week in Local Music News
The Fresh & Onlys give fans a taste if their soon-to-be-released full-length [via Pitchfork]
Pearl Jam, Modest Mouse, Grizzly Bear, and Neko Case and more scheduled for the 24th annual Bridge School Benefit [via Bridge School Benefit]
Upcoming Show Roundup: Thao with The Get Down Stay Down, Fuck Buttons, Rank/Xerox, Starfucker and more
Fuck Buttons and Clipd Beaks at Great American Music Hall [$16]
While Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion may have been the go-to critic's pick last year, Fuck Button's sophomore LP Tarot Sport was a more than worthy contender for 2009's album of the year. Armed with an array of drum machines and synths generally associated with electro, the duo inexplicably managed to create a post-rock masterpiece in the spirit of Mogwai, God Speed You Black Emperor! and Explosions in the Sky -- if you slept on this one, we strongly recommend giving it a listen. Be sure to catch the Bristol, England-based duo tonight at Great American Music Hall.
