There may not be snow in Gainesville, but the acreage behind Cathryn and John Gregory home in northwest Gainesville is a winter wonderland nonetheless.
There may not be snow in Gainesville, but the acreage behind Cathryn and John Gregory home in northwest Gainesville is a winter wonderland nonetheless.
A forest of plump, bright green Christmas trees is thriving, and for almost 30 years, the trees� sweet scent has wafted on the breezes between the neat rows of trees.
The Gregorys have tended to their trees all year, and now that we�re almost halfway into December, they�re being rewarded for their work.
Unicorn Hill Farm, the small agricultural operation that the retired couple runs from their Gainesville home, is open for business off Northwest 39th Avenue, and the Gregorys savor being able to spread seasonal cheer by selling their Christmas trees.
Unicorn Hill Farm has a following of customers, and John Gregory said that the farm typically sells out of its full-grown trees every year. Other Florida farmers who have ventured to grow Christmas trees have not been so successful.
Christmas tree farms are a declining sector of Florida�s agriculture, said Alan Hodges, an extension scientist in the University of Florida�s food and resource economics department. In fact, he said there just over 50 such operations left in the state.
Since 2002, the industry has shrunk significantly, from just over $1 million in sales to $390,000 of sales in 2007.
The decline, Hodges says, might be influenced by competition from artificial trees and trees produced in northern states, as well as the seasonal nature of the market, but some farmers describe other issues.
Jack Ewing has been growing Christmas trees in Eustis since 1987, and as the treasurer of the Florida Christmas Tree Association, he has seen many growers in his organization suffer from high land prices.
Ewing also said it takes about four years for trees to grow large enough to sell, and even then, they are not a particularly profitable crop. For many farmers, it�s just not worth the hard work, Ewing said.
The labor-intensive process of growing Christmas trees starts with seedling selection, a step that John Gregory believes is crucial to the success of a Christmas tree crop.
Cathryn and John Gregory say they sort through hundreds of pine seedlings looking for the perfect specimens, and then those that make the cut must be planted and tended to.
The Gregorys have some 6,000 Christmas trees on their property, all in various stages of growth, and each plant requires a careful routine of pest management and weed control.
Also, the traditional triangular shape that consumers expect from Christmas trees does not occur naturally and can only be achieved by meticulously staking, pruning and shaping the trees several times a year, Gregory said.
The Gregorys say their farm requires constant upkeep, and, even though they sell between 300 and 500 trees a year, they say their farm rarely makes a profit.
However, the Gregorys say they�re receiving a different kind of reward.
Even though their Christmas tree farm is not a source of solid income, it makes them eligible for a special agricultural exemption from their property taxes, without which they say they could not afford their land.
For John Gregory, his property and his farm are a way of staying close to the natural environment that he loves.
�We used to live in the city, and I was really not happy to have, 10 feet away, another neighbor,� he said. �So we just wanted to come and live in the country and to do things that were related to nature.�
The Gregorys say that sharing their appreciation for nature and agriculture with others has been another important reward of their work. They said they feel they don�t just sell trees, but instead offer an experience to customers.
Families who purchase Christmas trees from the Gregorys can roam the property until they find their perfect tree, and then they are can chop it down themselves.
For many families, it is an opportunity for bonding, enjoying nature and learning how crops are grown.
�That�s one thing that�s very important to me, is offering them that ability to reconnect with the land a little bit and to see how generous the land can be,� Cathryn Gregory said.
Cathryn believes that many of her customers really appreciate their seasonal outings to her farm.
�Year after year, we have the same customers,� she said. �And now we�re working on second generations of families where the kids, who have gotten all grown up and married, are coming with their children now.�
Ewing, of the state�s Christmas Tree Association, agreed that the environmental impact of the Christmas tree industry is one reason Florida residents should hope the industry survives.
�We take land that�s barren and we plant trees that provide oxygen and take in carbon dioxide and provide habitat for wildlife and stop erosion,� he said. �So the environmental impact is positive in every way you look at it.�

Well, it's been four months since I've posted here, so I'm not expecting many people to read this — but I would be ashamed of myself if I didn't do something…
At 11:10 PM, Monday June 22 2009, Andrew Noah Warbiany entered the world. 6 lb 12 oz, 19 inches long. Picture below. Everyone is happy and healthy, and even Wyatt seems to currently be welcoming the addition.
I'm not going to belabor the post here, because I'm not sure whether I'm going to return to any sort of regular activity here. But for more, I'm still active at my facebook page, The Liberty Papers, and I'm the voice of The Liberty Papers on Twitter.

Quincy School District gets some good news
Wed, 17 Oct 2012 21:21:40 GMT —
On Wednesday, the Quincy School Board celebrated the good news from a recent financial audit of the district.
The state auditor has removed the district from the financial watch list.
Before being placed on the watch list, the district was 2.2 million dollars in the hole.
Credit for the turn around went to the passage of a working cash bond and the district's deficit reduction plan.
School board president Bill Daniels says there are about 6 different factors that go into the financial profile score for the district.
"There were at least a couple of those factors that we were always in pretty good shape on, that our debt was low and things like that. But we were just short on cash and we always had to borrow and that really hurt us. So the passage of the working cash has really helped stabilize us and put us on a good foundation to at least go forward," Daniels said.
The public can pick up a copy of the auditors report starting Thursday at the Quincy School District offices.
In other news, the board also announced the district has received a 50 thousand dollar grant for building maintenance.

Neuchâtel crisis, (1856–57), tense episode of Swiss history that had repercussions among the Great Powers of Europe. The Congress of Vienna (1814–15), in its general settlement of territorial questions after the Napoleonic Wars, ordained that Neuchâtel (or Neuenburg) should have a dual status: it was to be a canton of the reorganized Swiss Confederation and, at the same time, a hereditary principality belonging personally to the king of Prussia but separate from the Prussian kingdom. This arrangement caused dissatisfaction among the people of Neuchâtel, and in March 1848, when the Swiss were revising their constitution and when France, Germany, Austria, and Italy were all being shaken by revolutionary movements, a successful insurrection established a republic there. Frederick William IV of Prussia, preoccupied with his kingdom's troubles, could take no effective counteraction at the time. Four years later, in the London Protocol of 1852, the other Great Powers formally acknowledged his rights in Neuchâtel, but with the proviso that Prussia should do nothing to assert them without their concurrence. In September 1856 there was an unsuccessful pro-Prussian coup d'etat in Neuchâtel, conducted by loyalist aristocrats under the leadership of members of the family of Pourtalès. When its leaders were arrested, Frederick William appealed to the Swiss Federal Council for their release and also asked the French emperor Napoleon III to intercede for them. The Swiss at first persisted in declaring that the rebels must be brought to trial. Prussia severed diplomatic relations with Switzerland and began preparations for war—though it remained doubtful whether the south German states, under Austrian influence, would allow Prussian troops to cross their territory and though Great Britain was ready to back France in support of Switzerland. Napoleon III at last, in January 1857, induced the Swiss to release the prisoners into temporary exile, on the understanding that he would then negotiate a final settlement of the main question in Switzerland's favour; and, after a conference of the neutral powers in Paris (March–April), a treaty was signed on May 26, 1857, whereby Frederick William renounced his sovereignty over Neuchâtel, keeping only the princely title.

A U.S. proposal to charge a new fee for every vehicle or pedestrian crossing the U.S.-Canada border would be an exasperating last straw for nurse Mary Ann Cameron, one of several thousand Windsorites who commute daily to work in metro Detroit.
Homeland Security's proposed new Canada-U.S. border fee prompts alarm
A U.S. proposal to charge a new fee for every vehicle or pedestrian crossing the U.S.-Canada border would be an exasperating last straw for nurse Mary Ann Cameron, one of several thousand Windsorites who commute daily to work in metro Detroit.
"They'll have nobody crossing," said Cameron, 52, who commutes from her Windsor home to work at Oakwood Hospital and Medical Center in Dearborn, Mich.
When she learned Sunday of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's proposed 2014 budget plan to study charging a land boarder crossing fee – on top of the tunnel toll she already pays – she said "it just won't be worth my while to work there."
Cameron has worked at Oakwood for the past nine years and said she's been entertaining the idea of returning to work in Windsor because of increasing security measures and a worsening exchange rate as Canada's dollar hovers with parity with the U.S. dollar.
Cameron said working in the U.S. is becoming less attractive every day she crosses and her Canadian colleagues feel the same. She said the number of Canadian nurse commuters has dropped significantly in the past several years.
"That's what it will come down to," she said of the entry fee proposal. "It will be too expensive. What is the point?"
The budget, released last week by DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano, proposes to conduct a study to assess the feasibility and cost relating to establishing and collecting a land border crossing fee for pedestrians and passenger vehicles along the northern and southwest borders of the U.S.
"It's disappointing to see a continued disconnect from Ottawa and Washington with regards to how we operate our borders," MP Brian Masse (NDP – Windsor West) said Sunday. "Clearly this type of proposal is nothing more than a tax grab on Canadians and Mexicans. The reality is it would create other complications on the border that are pretty significant on both of our economies."
Masse said he was surprised by the proposal and believes it shows border weakness with regards to an "almost exclusive" focus on security and militarization versus the economy.
Masse said he will be pushing the Canadian government to "stand strong" against the proposal.
Approximately 350,000 people cross the U.S.-Canada border daily for business, tourism, school, and visiting family and friends, according to a 2011 DHS fact sheet.
The DHS also calls the cross-border flow of people "vital" to the U.S. and Canadian economies. In addition to the several thousands of Canadian commuters who work in metro Detroit, many more cross the border for shopping, entertainment and socializing.
In a written statement Napolitano said her department needed to find fresh revenue streams through fees to hire new border guards and to support increasingly expensive operations at international crossing points.
"Processing the more than 350 million travelers annually provides nearly $150 billion in economic stimulus, yet the fees that support these operations have not been adjusted in many cases for more than a decade," Napolitano stated. "As the complexity of our operations continues to expand, the gap between fee collections and the operations they support is growing, and the number of workforce hours fees support decreases each year."
The cost of the proposed fee and whether it would focus on those entering or leaving the U.S. have not been determined.
The study, to be completed within nine months, would explore "the feasibility of collecting from existing operators on the land border such as bridge commissions, toll operators, commercial passenger bus, and commercial passenger rail."

The New School for Public Engagement is committed to meeting the diverse
learning needs of our students. Among those commitments are online
course and program offerings conducted in an asynchronous environment,
which means students and teachers are not online at the same time but
rather are 'in the classroom' whenever they log into their courses.
students need and enjoy the flexibility provided by online study;
others like the type of learning that occurs online, in which students
have extended time beyond what the classroom allows to reflect and
formulate their thoughts before sharing with the class. Students can
read the materials, read the teacher's and other students' responses,
consider their own input, revise that input, and reflect on their
learning in a more relaxed and less pressured fashion than in-person or
synchronous experiences permit. It's for this reason that many students
who could take an in-person class elect to enroll in online courses
instead. They report a deeper learning and more stress-free experience
than they may experience attending in-person classes.
learning isn't for everyone; neither are in-person seminars, lectures
and workshops. Some students like the mixture of learning types, for the
different experiences they provide. NSPE tries to provide multiple
types of learning for multiple types of learners.
Because many
students haven't participated in online learning in their previous
educational experiences, we help you to learn in an online environment
and our teachers are specially trained and supported to make your online
learning a rich experience. Students may elect to do some or all of
their coursework online, and may complete approved degree programs
entirely online as well.

Horace Mann teacher shouldn't have been fired says historian, but ...Historians in the News
In 1936, historian Howard Beale published a book entitled, "Are American Teachers Free?" In 855 not-so-succinct pages, Beale gave a simple answer: no. Across the United States, schools placed strict limits upon teachers' speech, manners, and conduct. Some schools barred teachers from dancing, smoking, or playing cards; others fired instructors who joined "radical" political groups, including the Ku Klux Klan.
OK, so the ban on card-playing seems a bit draconian in this day and age. But a teacher who goes home, dons a hood, and carries a flaming cross to a KKK rally? I'm perfectly fine with firing him. And that, I suppose, marks me as an enemy of "academic freedom."
Witness the dust-up at the Horace Mann School in New York, one of the city's most prestigious prep schools. The school recently dismissed Andrew Trees, who published a saucy satire last year of New York's high-society, private-school set. Then it barred the student newspaper from publishing two letters and opinion piece in support of Dr. Trees.
"Doctor" Trees, you see, holds a Ph.D. in history from the University of Virginia. If he taught at a college or university, like I do, he would certainly be free to write or say anything he wished. Instead, he teaches at a high school. Should that make a difference?
Not according to one of the censored letters, signed by dozens of prominent American historians. "We believe that academic freedom should be the cornerstone of an academic institution," declares the letter, which was obtained by the New York Times after the Horace Mann newspaper was prevented from publishing it. "In our own work and in our classrooms, we strive to create an environment where students and faculty are free to think critically."
Well, sure. Every teacher should try to do that, no matter what their subject of instruction or the age of their students. But if the historians think that elementary and high school teachers should have the same type of academic freedom that university professors have . . .well, they're simply wrong.
Let me get a few things on the table right away. First of all, full disclosure: I don't know Andrew Trees. But I do know several of his professors at UVA, who signed the letter in his support.
Second, I share their outrage about Trees' dismissal. If Horace Mann fired Trees for publishing a send-up of the school, it should be deeply ashamed of itself. And the school compounded its foolishness by censoring letters to the student newspaper, where the editor-in-chief is none other than Elyssa Spitzer, daughter of Gov. Eliot Spitzer.
But I'm troubled by the implication that high school teachers should have exactly the same rights and freedoms as university professors. Suppose a teacher wrote a book denying the Holocaust, or maintaining that the world was created in six 24-hour days. If the teacher was fired, would the East Coast's academic all-stars rally to his defense?
I think not. And that's because all of us understand—whether we admit it or not—that elementary- and secondary-level teachers need to stay within some kind of community consensus. They teach kids, not adults. So it's reasonable for the community to insist that teachers' public behavior—and sometimes, even, their public expression—respects a few broadly shared norms.
That's why federal courts upheld the 2000 dismissal of Bronx High School of Science teacher Peter Melzer, a leader of the North American Man-Boy Love Association. As a citizen, Melzer has every right to join an organization advocating the legalization of underage sex. But he has no right to teach in a school, where his presence would generate too much fear, confusion, and controversy for young people to handle.
Could the students at Horace Mann handle a satire of their upscale private school? Of course they could. No one who attends Horace Mann would be in the least bit shocked, surprised, or scared by the behaviors that Andrew Trees described in his book,"Academy X": drug abuse, grade inflation, or plagiarism.
So if school officials fired Trees because of his book, they certainly weren't acting to protect the kids. Instead, they were acting to protect their market share: they wanted to appease angry parents and trustees, who thought the book would hurt the reputation of the school.
And that's truly despicable. Like any school—indeed, like any adult—Horace Mann can and should shield children from attitudes, opinions, and behaviors which are simply too horrible for young minds to contemplate. But it shouldn't censor faculty or students simply for making the school look bad. That makes Horace Mann look even worse.

Iwatayama Monkey Park - in Japanese, "Arashiyama Monkey Park" - is a theme park-like facility in Arashiyama.
The park is a climb up Mt Arashiyama, which overlooks the river that flows through the a heavily wooded and touristed area in western Kyoto City. There are about 170 Japanese macaque monkeys that live there. The monkeys are indeed wild - and caution should be exercised - but can be fed food purchased at the site.
To get there, cross the Togetsudo Bridge from the main area of Arashiyama. Once across the Katsura/Oi River, you turn right and walk with the forest on your left and a canal on your right.
The entrance is up a few steps heading to a shrine and to the left.
Once you pay for your ticket, you will need to hike up for about 15 minutes. Signs will guide you.
Small children should be held or watched closely on the walk up lest they fall over the edge.
When you enter the area in which the monkeys live, a few basic safety precautions are necessary:
1) Don't stare the monkeys in the eye (this is an act of aggression)
2) Don't touch the monkeys
3) Don't feed them outside the area noted on the signs
Rangers are there to guide and help you. Bags of feed can be purchased inside the main building.
Open 9 am - 5 pm every day

Shawnee, KS, United States, 2012/04/26 - Pool Corporation will initially deploy Perceptive Software products and solutions to automate and improve efficiencies in back office business processes - PerceptiveSoftware.com. NYSE: LXK
Perceptive Software, creator of process and content management products and solutions, including intelligent data capture, announced today that Louisiana-based SCP Distributors LLC, a division of Pool Corp, will deploy Perceptive Softwares process and content management solutions to automate expense report processing and vendor invoice processing.
Pool Corporation is the largest wholesale distributor of swimming pool and related backyard products. Currently, Pool Corp operates 298 sales centers in North America and Europe, through which it distributes more than 160,000 national brand and private label products to roughly 80,000 wholesale customers.
We needed to find a more robust software solution to improve efficiencies with data retrieval. What especially impressed us with Perceptive Software was how their software integrated with the new Lexmark Multi-Function Printers, said Pool Corporations director of financial services, Don Meyer. We already have a good working relationship with Lexmark, so choosing Perceptive made a lot of sense because of their ability to seamlessly overlap and partner with the Lexmark team.
With Perceptive Softwares eForm technology, Pool Corporations data entry department will improve efficiencies with reduction of back office procedures, such as invoice printing, sorting, scanning and filing of invoices.
Perceptives solutions will also help with expense report automation, decreasing processing time; it will also help maximize prompt pay discounts allowing Pool Corporation to post vendor invoices into their existing system quickly. Having interface access to their Prelude operating system will provide employees instant access to supporting documentation, thus reducing data retrieval and research costs.
We anticipate many benefits to the implementation of this software solution, said Meyer. With the new expense report automation feature, this will dramatically decrease the time it takes to submit, approve and audit travel expenses. Data entry of expense reports will also be eliminated with the software's eForm technology allowing automatic input into our Prelude operating system.
About Perceptive Software
Perceptive Software (perceptivesoftware.com), a stand-alone business unit within Lexmark International, Inc., builds process and content management software, including Brainware intelligent data capture, to help organizations fuel greater operational efficiency. Organizations around the world rely on Perceptive Softwares solutions help optimize business processes and give users the most relevant information to make the most effective decisions at any point in the process, wherever they are.

WASHINGTON (Sep. 8)
Israel and its U.S. supporters are pressing ahead with what looks to be a tough battle to win speedy congressional approval of U.S. guarantees for $10 billion in loans needed for immigrant resettlement, despite a strong plea from President Bush that action on the request be delayed until January.
Israeli Ambassador Zalman Shoval formally presented Israel's request for the loan guarantees to Secretary of State James Baker on Friday afternoon, only hours after Bush urged Congress to delay its consideration for 120 days.
"We have very serious economic problems," Shoval was quoted as saying as he left the State Department. "And it's no secret we need that money quite urgently."
Israel is seeking loans of $2 billion a year for five years from private banks to help absorb up to 1 million Soviet Jews expected to arrive there in the next few years. The U.S. guarantees would allow Israel to obtain the loans for a longer period and at lower interest rates.
"We're interested in absorption aid," Bush told reporters who he had called into the Oval Office during a meeting Friday with Baker. "We take pride in the fact we've taken the leadership role" in helping Jews leave the Soviet Union.
"But it is in the best interest of the peace process and of peace itself that consideration of this absorption aid question for Israel be deferred for simply 120 days," the president said.
Pointing out that Baker is going to the Middle East this week to work out arrangements for a regional peace conference, Bush stressed, "This is not the time for a debate which can be misunderstood, a debate that can divide."
"Give peace a chance," the president said.
Baker had called for a delay at a news conference two days before, but he did not give a specific time period as did Bush.
While Bush was not specific about how congressional debate over the loan guarantees would result in acrimony, State Department spokeswoman Margaret Tutwiler asserted Friday that the discussion could raise "all sorts of questions on how and where this money is going to be used.
"Issues related to the occupied territories are bound to be raised," she said. "We are seeking to avoid that linkage."
But observers here said that by asking Congress for the delay, Bush had, in fact, ensured the acrimonious debate he had sought to avoid.
They pointed out that he could have held the money up for 120 days by citing technical reasons, as he did last year, when he held up U.S. guarantees for a $400 million loan to Israel for some nine months.
Observers wondered why Bush sought the delay now, after he had received an agreement from Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir last February to postpone the request until after Labor Day.
Bush said Friday that Baker had asked the Israelis to delay their request, in "two very friendly conversations" by telephone with Shamir.
The Israeli premier balked, and now the issue is expected to be high on the agenda when Baker arrives in Israel on Sept. 16.
But the American Jewish community is not waiting till then to press its case on Capitol Hill.
On Friday, the board of directors of the Council of Jewish Federations unanimously adopted a resolution calling on Congress to "act now" to approve the Israeli request.
And the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations and the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council are going ahead with plans to bring hundreds of Jewish leaders from across the country to Washington on Thursday to lobby individual senators and representatives for immediate approval of the loan guarantees.
"We see no reason to change," said Malcolm Hoenlein, executive director of the Conference of Presidents.
But the Jewish community appears to have an uphill fight.
Sen. Patrick Leahy, chairman of the Senate Appropriation subcommittee on foreign operations, has agreed on the need for a delay. The subcommittee was scheduled to deal with the request for the guarantees as part of the foreign aid bill.
Pro-Israel strategists on Capitol Hill are now looking at other "legislative vehicles" to introduce the loan guarantees package.
While it is still uncertain how much congressional support there is for Bush's request, a number of members of Congress have already weighed in against it.
Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mich.) fired off a letter to Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell (D-Maine) urging that the Israeli request be considered "this month on its own merits."
"Israel is shouldering staggering resettlement costs and has raised taxes to try to cope with them," he said. "More must be done, however, and these loan guarantees will make the greater effort possible, without any cost to U.S. taxpayers."
Pointing to the planned peace conference, Levin argued that "it is not wise to put unwarranted pressure on one of the parties to adopt specific policies before direct peace talks have even begun."
Sen. Alan Cranston (D-Calif.) also warned against linking the guarantees to the peace process. "There is an immediate humanitarian need, which should be met immediately," he said.
Bush warned Friday that he will make his position "as clear as I can to every single member of Congress and the American people."
Observers here recalled that Congress was ready to reject the Reagan administration's sale of AWACS reconnaissance planes to Saudi Arabia in 1981 until the president made a personal appeal. They said it would be difficult to deny such a public plea from Bush.
But pro-Israel strategists pointed out that support for the loan guarantees in the American Jewish community and in Congress is much greater than was the opposition to the AWACS sale.

Here are the
Please sign in or sign up if you'd like to contact the seller.
Welcome fellow geeks and friends of geeks!
I ship Monday through Friday using USPS Priority or First Class Mail. I do ship internationally, but please keep in mind tracking information is usually not available once the package leaves the United States. I may not be able to tell you anything about your international package once it leaves our hands! The USPS online system we use to buy postage has started asking us for phone numbers on some shipping orders: international customers, please include your phone number in the notes to seller. The USPS does not guarantee any tracking info will be available. Ever. Cause they said so.
If you celebrate Christmas and you want your item to arrive as a gift for that holiday, according to the US Postal Service, things would need to ship out on their schedule for arrival by December 25 (As noted at faq.usps.com)
As I note on the store page, hoodies can take 3-5 business days to complete, so you'll want to back your order deadline up as much as five days from the USPS dates (hoodie recommended dates are noted in parentheses)
Domestic: December 20th (Dec 14)
International: Canada, Caribbean, Middle East, Europe - Dec. 9 (2 Dec)
Africa, Central & South America- Dec. 2 (26 Nov)
Asia/Pacific Rim, Australia/New Zealand, Mexico - Dec. 9 (2 Dec)
APO / FPO / DPO AE (Iraq and Afghanistan) ZIP 093 - Dec. 3 (Nov 28)
APO / FPO / DPO AE (all others) ZIPs 090-092, 094-098, 340, 962-966 - Dec. 10 (Dec 5)
I haven't had a lot of transparency to the handling of stuff I ship once it leaves the US and gets handed off to whatever local mail organization deals with material on the other end. Policies in your nation are subject to change without notice to or from me: I don't make your laws and can't explain why you may or may not have to pay duties or taxes!
UK Customs
The UK Border Agency and Royal Mail appears to add some duties onto orders. They attach a label onto our packages that reads "Goods purchased & imported into the EU with a value over £18 (for VAT purposes, and over £135 (for import duty purposes), or goods imported from one private person to another private person as a gift with a value over £40, are subject to Customs charges. These reliefs do not extend to Excise goods e.g. tobacco products & alcohol. Queries about Customs charges are to be made in writing to the above address or by telephoning 0207 239 2449 quoting the above charge number and date. Retain outer wrappings & documents, they may help to resolve your enquiry.
Queries about contents or handling fees should be referred to Royal Mail International Tel: 08457 740 740. THIS PACKAGE CANNOT BE DELIVERED UNTIL THE CHARGES ARE PAID"
It appears the Royal Mail charges an "International Handling fee" of £8.00
I don't know how much the VAT is but it probably varies based on the value of the item. The label we use is a CN 22 Customs Declaration Formâit says
Contents: X merchandise and then a detailed description of the product with the value in $USD.
I don't know for sure, but based on the label from the Royal Mail, it looks like the ONLY way to not pay a UK VAT or handling fee is if it is a GIFT valued at less than £40 or if the package is worth less than £18 (At current exchanges, $37 = £23).
I don't know a lot about UK import law and I am NOT a lawyer. So this is NOT legal advice. According to Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs website (www.hmrc.gov.uk/customs/post/buying.htm#4) we cannot legally mark items as a gift if you bought them and we are shipping them to you.
This is all stuff that's imposed by the UK's government, and I don't have a ton of experience with that for obvious reasons. The last time we made a big stink about your tax system was 240 years ago, and we haven't talked about it much since.
CANADIAN Customs
I called the Border Information Service (www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/trade-commerce/tariff-tarif/menu-eng.html) and asked about customs. For 100% confirmation on potential duties, you would want to walk down to your local post and ask.
Because our supplier is a US supplier the NAFTA agreement considers our goods to have been made in the US, so import duties won't apply. CBSA takes the value of a good, converts it to Canadian dollars and charges the following taxes: + 5% General Service Tax of Canada, + Provincial Sales Tax (varies by province from 0% in Alberta to 10.5% on Prince Edward Island) Then Canada Post adds an $8.50CAD handling fee.
You will likely pay at least $10 in taxes and handling fees imposed by Canadian agencies.
According to Australian Customs and Border Protection Services (http://www.customs.gov.au/site/page5653.asp#ImportingGoodsByInternationalMail) import of goods valued ⤠A$1000 are charged no duties when mailed to Australia. The good people at Australia Post suggest that the Customs & Border Protection policies are subject to change, so you may need to double check that website to know if the $1000-value duty free policy is still in place.
According to Australia Post (phone number: 13 7678, or internationally +61 3 8847 9045) you shouldn't have to pay additional delivery fees when the parcel(s) arrive.
Additional questions about Australian import policies can be found at http://www.customs.gov.au/site/importingGoodsByPostFaq.asp#WhocanIcallforgeneralinformationaboutimportinggoods
I will try to update my international shipping information as I get more information from other countries.
Please ready my listings carefully! I try to include all the information you will need. I try to avoid exchanges whenever possible so I can keep my prices reasonable.
Each item is designed and printed by me or a family member right here. If you are unhappy with anything you have purchased from my shop please contact me to resolve the issue.

Brown students design a chair cut from a single 2 x 4.
Ok, so this project doesn't absolutely require the intimate mechanical precision that comes standard with CNC tools, but provides a wonderful example of how you can make the most of your cuts by having them do double duty.
This project, by Ian Gonsher and Jake Geller, shows off just how much you can get out of a single piece of material. This project has some especially useful concepts for anyone wanting to squeeze every last ounce of value out of their laser cutting. If you take a close look, you can see how a single cut (accounting for the kerf of a bandsaw) will cut out the left hand side of one part and the right hand side of another simultaneously. This is an essential design skill for cramming a large number of parts on a single sheet like the folks over at Wood Marvels manage in every design.
You can download the design here, and find a bit more info on the project here.

NEW YORK (MainStreet) —Last September, a study conducted by Javelin Strategy and Research found that, for the first time ever, debit card spending eclipsed how much people were charging on their credit cards.
At the time, this shift in our plastic preferences, while admittedly problematic for credit card issuers, didn't seem to bear any particular meaning for consumers other than the avoidance of more debt. If anything, the implication that Americans were getting more responsible about how they spent their money seemed like good news.
But then the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act gave the Federal Reserve the right to impose limits on interchange fees charged every time debit cards are used, and banks, fearing a serious cut in revenue, threatened to change their policies on debit card use.
Among the more seemingly egregious threats was the rumor that several major banks, including Bank of America, Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase were looking into capping individual debit card purchases at $100. Experts now speculate that these limits, if imposed, could cause a resurgence in checks, cash or credit card use as consumers are forced to use alternate forms of payment for larger purchases.
But would caps – or other residual changes in debit card policies – really force consumers to change their current spending habits? To find out, budgeting site Mint.com provided data to MainStreet on how its user base of 5 million people actually used their debit cards in 2010.
The numbers confirm that while debit cards are, in fact, our current payment method of choice (based on number of transactions and overall amount Mint users spent each month), their usage is already concentrated on small purchases. According to the stats, only 12.98% of all debit card transactions by Mint users in 2010 totaled more than $100 and only 8.13% of debit card transactions were more than $150.
On the other hand, a cap lower than that would be potentially problematic since the average debit card transaction amount in 2010 was $71, an amount well above the $50 limit also reportedly in consideration.

How do you heat your house?
And... Have you turned on your heat yet?
We have a boiler & baseboard heat.
Yes, we've turned on the heat. We've had a few nights in the mid to upper 30s.
We have electric now. We just moved here about 7 months ago, before we had oil. LOL, yeah right...we would NEVER turn on our heat in the fall! Not unless we had some crazy 30 degree weather. Actually, we did have an absurd snow storm in Oct last year, so I I should act like it can't happen.
We have a heat pump that is part of our central air. No, we won't turn the heat on until at least December (when it might finally get cool enough).
We won't turn it on for months. We have electric heat the goes on for maybe a couple of weeks a year.
The AC on the other hand gets used about 8 months a year.
We have central AC & heat and we also have a fireplace in the main living room. I also have a little space heater in my room because I need to be warm to sleep. Yes we have had to turn the heat on already.
Plug in portable heaters. and yes we have all started sleeping in one room and turning on the heater at night only

John Frieda Frizz-Ease Secret Weapon Flawless Finishing Creme Reviews
overrated productI have dry, frizzy curls. So when I purchased this, I had very high hopes. I was disappointed. My hair did not become silky or manageable, just softer. My feeling is that as a conditioning agent, it is ok, but it doesn't get rid of frizz as promised. — 9 years, 2 months agocoinma | 175 reviews
Pretty hair, good resultsThis works well, better than most of the expensive products I've tried. Great for curley or strainght hair -- but use with caution if your hair is very thin or it could look greasy! — 9 years ago1955Nurse | 234 reviews
A girl's best friend if you heat styleI have used this product for years and will not stop. This is fantastic for my dry, frizzy, sort of fine hair. I look so much more polished if I smooth this through my hair.

A must in the desk at the office!This can be used to fix your hair, period. Bad hair day due to split ends or no shine, fixed. Bad hair day due to frizz or bends in the hair shaft, solved. I have used this for many years and never fail to replace it when it has reached the end. — 9 years agobecksstein | 160 reviews
love thisi have semi-thick long brown hair and i like to air-dry it all the time, so i use this when my hair is a little more than damp and let it air dry. it's a really nice but thick cream so the water saturates it a little. when my hair dries, the cream leaves my hair softer and shinier with less frizz. all you need is a tiny amount. — 8 years, 10 months agoareesecup | 133 reviews
Yes!I completely love this stuff it works perfectly on my hair and its really hard to find a product that blend well with it and my hair gets oily so easy and this stuff doesn't make it oily at all!

Great product!One reason I love this produce is because it's diverse. I use it with multiple styles. I have naturally wavy hair, and this creme is great for making my waves look more defined and pretty. I use it one wet or dry waves, and they never turn out crunchy.

good price, good resultsI have thin frizzy hair and this stuff keeps away the frizz without weighing down my hair or making it look greasy. Just bought my 2nd tube....I had the first one for years.

Best product to fight dry looking curls!I have naturally curly, coarse, dry hair and this creme does wonders. It not only tames frizz but makes your hair look hydrated .I also like that I don't have to use much so one tube will last a while.

Maxine Waters Reclaiming Her Time Just Became Everyone's New Summer '17 Mantra
California Congresswoman Maxine Waters puts her foot down by reclaiming her time.
(Photo: Focus on Sport/Getty Images)
Samuel Jones is a retired basketball player known for his quickness and game-winning shots, particularly in the midst of NBA playoff games. He was selected by the Boston Celtics in the 1957 NBA Draft and spent his entire 12 season professional career with the team.
He has the second-highest number of NBA championships of any player, second to his teammate Bill Russell. Over his career, Jones was a five-time NBA All-Star and 10-time NBA champion.
Jones was born in Wilmington, North Carolina, on June 24, 1933, and graduated from North Carolina Central University after a stunning career at the college.
His perfect form when shooting a jump shot, along with his great clutch shooting, led opponents to nickname him "The Shooter." At 6-foot-4, Jones was the prototype of the tall guard who could run the floor, bang the boards and had a rangy offensive game that gave opponents fits.
After retiring in 1969, Jones coached at Federal City College, North Carolina Central University and served as an assistant for the NBA's New Orleans Jazz. In 1984, he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and in 1996 he was named one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History. Jones was inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame in 2006.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Offsetting unsportsmanlike conduct penalties were one of the major themes during Saturday's game.
Both teams were caught up in a scramble of unsportsmanlike penalty flags on at least three separate occasions.
"It was tough, but seeing that a lot of them were offset helped us out a little bit," Georgia defensive end Ray Drew said. "That's just because of the intensity of the game. If you go out and you see someone you dislike, just hate with all your heart, it's going to be hard for you not to say something to them."
Georgia coach Mark Richt has been around long enough to see games of this magnitude on multiple occasions and he chalked up the penalties to the meaning of the rivalry.
"These guys are competitors. It's a bitter rivalry," Richt said. "We wanted their blood pumping and we wanted them to be able to compete fiercely. It's just a highly competitive game."
