Some states, such as Colorado, don't require much farming to get a tax-saving agricultural exemption.
Want a lower property tax bill in Colorado? Get yourself a couple of sheep. Or grow a little hay.
That's all it takes to earn an agricultural designation by the state. You don't really have to be a farmer or a rancher, just play one and that will get you the much lower property tax rate Colorado created for the agriculture sector.
The Denver Post lists the wide array of so-called Colorado agronomists who have "secured low property taxes through agricultural designations on land they own even though they personally have little or nothing to do with producing food."
Among those the newspaper cites as benefiting from being deemed owners of agricultural property are actors Tom Cruise, Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, a network television executive and his former-actress wife, an energy industry billionaire, a professional blackjack player turned media mogul, a ski gear inventor and a Colorado state senator.
The IRS accepts plastic but, unlike mechants, it doesn't pay the fee for you to use it, which is up to 2.35%.
This article is by Mark Jewell of the Associated Press.
Use a credit card to pay taxes to Uncle Sam, and interest charges aren't your only worry. Expect to pay fees of at least 2% on the amount of taxes owed. And that has nothing to do with whether you pay off the balance quickly or not.
Those fees are big enough that using a card to pay should be a last resort.
Regardless of how big the tax bill, any convenience from paying by credit is likely to come at a steep price. That's important to understand because some card issuers are promoting use of their cards to pay taxes, including offering discounts on electronic tax filing products for those using plastic to pay.

Many states provide tax incentives for making movies there. But some are cutting the subsidies, saying the benefits are not worth the cost.
This article is by Errin Haines of The Associated Press.
Thanks to a tax break used to lure Disney filmmakers away from North Carolina to coastal Georgia, Harry Spirides figures his beachfront hotel raked in an extra $85,000 because Miley Cyrus spent a summer filming here.
The producers of Cyrus' film, "The Last Song," were brought in with an across-the-board tax credit of 20% when they rolled into Tybee Island in June 2009. Lawmakers in Georgia and other states, though, are worried that they can't afford to offer Hollywood those incentives any longer as they struggle to find enough money to pay for programs like Medicaid.
For Spirides, though, the economic benefit from the tax credit was clear:
The crew rented a parking lot at Spirides' Ocean Plaza Beach Resort for $30,000 to set up makeup trailers and dining tents. Then there were hundreds of families working as extras on the film, who would crash at the hotel after shooting until 2 a.m.
"The shooting of the movie definitely made it a lot better of a summer financially than it would have been," Spirides said. "It really, really helped when we were in the depths of the recession."
In January, though, a Georgia state council said those benefits are fleeting. It said even though the crews bring jobs -- and lots of people who spend money locally on food and lodging -- those benefits are lost when they pack up and leave after filming.
The council recommended ditching the film tax break, which meant $140.6 million in lost tax revenues last year. Film producers spent $617 million in Georgia last year.
What if you could take this year's tax refund, spend every dime, then get it all back, plus 30%? Impossible? Not at all.
This post comes from Stacy Johnson at partner site Money Talks News.
Last year I wrote an article called Transform Last Year's Tax Refund Into Next Year's Tax Credit. That story was about how I invested my tax refund in a $5,000 high-efficiency central air conditioner: something that generated a cool $1,500 tax credit.
It's not often that we get lump sums of cash, and the temptation is great to do the wrong thing. Here's a quick checklist.
According to the Internal Revenue Service, the average American's refund for tax year 2010 is about $3,000, a slight increase over the previous year.
But whatever you're expecting, there are smart things you can do with it, as well as things that aren't so smart. Here are some dumb things, along with some advice on how to check on the progress of your refund if you've yet to receive it.
Obama wants to increase the IRS budget and bring in more revenue, but GOP wants to cut the agency's budget.
This article is by Stephen Ohlemacher of The Associated Press.
Every dollar the Internal Revenue Service spends for audits, liens and seizing property from tax cheats brings in more than $10, a rate of return so good the Obama administration wants to boost the agency's budget.
House Republicans, seeing the heavy hand of a too-big government, beg to differ. They've already voted to cut the IRS budget by $600 million this year and want bigger cuts in 2012.
The IRS has dramatically increased its pursuit of tax cheats in the past decade: Audits are up, property liens are up and asset seizures are way up. President Barack Obama and Democrats in Congress see stepped up enforcement as a good way to narrow the nation's staggering budget deficit without raising tax rates or cutting popular spending programs.
The costs of alcohol and drug abuse treatment are allowed as write-off for taxpayers who meet the medical deduction threshold.
Charlie Sheen, star of the popular CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men, continues to speak out from what has been described as at-home rehab.
Two pieces of advice:
First, shut up Charlie. We all have run-ins with our bosses from time to time, but burned bridges, even in today's bottom line, crazy showbiz world where anything goes, can be hard to rebuild.
Second, check into a real rehab facility and stick with the program. It will help you clean up your act sooner.
Some of the costs might even be tax deductible.
Stars and wannabes will owe taxes on lavish gifts handed out in Oscar VIP suites.
The Academy Awards were presented Sunday night. You know what that means.
These bags -- sometimes actual totes, other times just a general reference to the loot -- represent a tradition of giving goodies to people who don't really need it. The giving of gifts to awards show presenters and other participants began in the 1970s and over the years became an increasingly lavish tradition.
In 2006 the tax man got involved. That year, the IRS decreed that the goody bags were not actual gifts, but rather compensation and that the recipients would owe taxes on the value of the items handed out at awards shows.

Hank Hill sells propane and propane accessories. While I adore "The King of the Hill," that's where I draw the line.
Yes, charcoal and propane both have advantages and disadvantages in the world of outdoor cooking. But the flavor from charcoal, either briquette or wood chunks and chips, is tough to match with propane.
You can add smoke enhancers to propane rocks but it's just not the same.
When you put a ten pound prime rib on a rotisserie surrounded by charcoal and hickory chips for hours, depending on how rare or well you want it, the flavor is out of this world. When fat rolls off the prime rib and hits charcoal, well, that's where the flavor is made.
I own two charcoal grills and a smoker but no gas grill. I am shut out of deep winter grilling. That advantage goes to gas. I'm not sure how much barbecuing can be done in the winter on a gas grill. I've tried gas grills and I just can't barbecue poultry on them summer or winter.
Gas is faster. Charcoal takes time and that appeals to me as well because it's more of a production. Pouring charcoal over the heating element, don't use lighter fluid, and the initial whiffs of smoke. I have a pair of red, elbow length gloves to handle the grate and cooking utensils. And while it does take more time, it means relaxing longer with friends and a cocktail.

International Student Exchanges
The Cleveland Institute of Music offers students the opportunity to broaden their musical education experience by studying at selected institutions in other countries. CIM partners with the schools below and has agreements for direct reciprocal exchanges, simultaneous student-for-student exchanges involving two teachers of the same instrument.
A CIM student interested in pursuing a semester of study at one of these schools discusses the possibility first with her/his principal teacher, soliciting the teacher's judgment about the proposal and advice on an appropriate international colleague with whom to seek to study (See Conservatory Catalog, Study Abroad). Participating students proceed through normal admission procedures at the target institution and may need to satisfy language or other requirements prior to the exchange semester.
International students at the undergraduate level are able to enroll in CIM's Artist Certificate Program; graduate students enter the Professional Studies Program. They should consult their current school's international-exchange personnel and the CIM Conservatory Catalog (International Students) for details. The CIM application must be completed by October 1st for spring semester and December 1st for the following fall. A DVD audition is required.

There was no immediate word about the identity of the buyer."A friend that plays all the time, I called her this morning to see if she maybe won so we wouldn't have to go to work, but she didn't win," said Jen Watkins.FOX 2's Amy Andrews tried to talk to the owners of the station, but they declined comment on camera. She reports they will receive a $50,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket."I'm so happy for whoever won," said Lapeer resident Deborah Matthews. "I think it's so amazing. What a blessing."Andrews say if the winner chose the lump sum payment, he or she will walk away with $241 million.In addition to the jackpot-winning ticket, there were eight tickets that matched five of the winning numbers to win $1 million. Two of those tickets were sold in Indiana. The others were sold in Kansas, Kentucky, New Jersey, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Virginia.There was also a ticket sold in Nebraska that added the Power Play to win $2 million.

What's new about Remix?
Rock N Green Laundry Detergent:
Did you know that Rockin Green can be used for more than just clothing? Here are just some of the ways their customers use Rocking Green:
Frequently Asked Questions
What Formula is right for me?Rockin' Green was designed for different water types, so it's important to find the right formula for your area. Below you will find a picture of the US with suggested formulas for each area. If you are unsure of your water type you can contact your local pool or aquarium supply store to get your water professionaly tested. Most of the time it's free and they will be able to give you a water hardness #.
Rockin' Green generally recommended:
If you have questions about your particular area, please submit a question to their support team and they would be happy to help!
Are scents ok for diapers?They like yummy smelling detergent (do you blame them?) so they found a way to make 100% natural scents that rinse away! It's cool. All you smell is clean, not funk!
How Much Rockin' Green Do I Use Per Wash Load?When it comes to dosage, there are many variables that need to be considered and it may take a little bit of trial and error to find the right dosage for your situation.
Here are a few things that you may need to adjust your dosage for:
They recommend that you start with 1 tbs for a frontloader/HE machine and 2 tbs for a toploader. Many customers use more or less than this amount, so use this as a STARTING point for your own wash routines
Pay close attention to the end result. If you notice excessive staining, smells, ammonia or irritation please adjust accordingly until you get the desired result. Your final rinse should be bubble free and crystal clear, if you notice bubbles or cloudiness continue to rinse until you have a clean rinse cycle.
What Scents Do You Have?Rockin' Green not only kicks butt in the washroom, but it smells AMAZING! It comes in several different scents, so there is always something new to try. So the only hard part is deciding which one to try first!
What is Rockin' Green Made Of?Rockin' Green is made of safe, phosphate free ingredients which makes it good for the planet and gentler on your little ones. Everything is made with love, and put to the test every single day on my own families diapers and laundry. So you know that I expect only the best from everything that I send out the door.
Ingredients: sodium carbonate , sodium percarbonate, natural chelating agents, sodium sulfate, biodegradable surfactants, natural fragrance oils (if scented is chosen)
Why 3 different formulas?Rockin' Green comes in several different formulas- so there is something for everyone!
All Rockin' Green formulas are designed with the same great ingredients, and work for all water types. Most people do great with the Classic formula, so when in doubt start off with that formula.
What formula do I use if I have a water softener?"I have really hard water, and a water softener- what formula do I use?"This is a question that they hear often here at Rockin' Green. And in 95% of the cases, the answer is soft rock. When your water softener was set up, the installation tech first determined the actual hardness of the water coming into your home, and then set the water softener accordingly. The goal of most purification systems is to have a level of zero for water hardness.
So this means that even though you started off with hard water, the end result is soft in nature.
Washing in soft water will offer up a different set of challenges, the main one having to do with dosage. They recommend starting with half the recommended amount of soft rock, and then adjusting based on your results. You want to find the right amount of soap to get the job done, but rinse out completely.

One Botany by Lauren + Jessi Jung Charm Pack
1/2 yard Botany fabric for binding
3 yards Botany fabric for backing
I like to lay my quilt squares first so I can get the colors right where I want them. This is layout I liked the best, feel free to move yours around a bit. There are seven rows where the 5" x 91/2" rectangles are laid out vertically, and two groupings where the rectangles are laid out horizontally with an alternating Charm Square. Some of the vertical rows have Charm Squares at the top and bottom so that the rows can be variegated.
(I quilted the vertical rows with a vertical stripe and quilted the horizontal grouping rows in a stipple. I love the contrast and how it allows the different rows to stand out.)

Chana Mlotek, renowned musicologist and folklorist specializing in Yiddish music, theatre, and poetry, was interviewed by Hankus Netsky on August 15, 2011 at the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research in New York City.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1922, Eleanor "Chana" Gordon and her older sister Malka grew up in the Sholem Aleichem Amalgamated Homes in the Bronx where they were immersed in Yiddish language and culture. Their father was an amateur actor who instilled a love for Yiddish music in his daughters, both of whom played piano and wrote music.
After her normal school day, Chana attended a Yiddish school operated by the Workmen's Circle three days a week, followed by a Yiddish High School run by the Sholem Aleichem Folk Institute of New York. She later attended Hunter College where she studied French, Spanish, Latin, and Italian followed by Musicology and Theory. She was inspired by people like Pipe and Cahan and read all their works about Yiddish folklore and music.
The Sholem Aleichem Folk Institute also ran Camp Boiberik, a Yiddish cultural summer camp which Chana loved, attending from 1931. Campers performed plays, learned Yiddish songs and listened to guest lecturers and performers. As an adult, Chana returned to Camp Boiberik, taking responsibility for musical activities. For example, Chana describes how she improved the Felker Yontef (People's Holiday), a highlight of the camp program. All nations were represented in song, dance and costume. Chana sings one of her Felker Yontef compositions and some excerpts from the camp's Shabbos (Sabbath) performances.
In 1944, Chana went to work at YIVO (Yidisher Visnshaftlekher Institut, Institute for Jewish Research), which was founded by Max Weinreich in Vilna, Lithuania, in 1925. She became Weinreich's secretary in 1946, taking over from Lucy Davidovich. Weinreich was a mentor and inspiration for Chana. His Yiddish was "like music" and his attention to detail provided an invaluable lesson for her future work.
YIVO awarded Chana a scholarship to the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) in 1948 to attend Weinreich's Yiddish linguistics and folklore courses. The course included songs and music, a major interest of Chana's. There she met Joseph (Yosl) Mlotek, her future husband, who was also a scholarship student. On their return to New York they formed the Y. L. Cahan Folklore Club named after Yehuda Leib Cahan, a major collector and writer of Yiddish folklore. Other members of the club included Uriel and Bina Weinreich, Max's son and daughter-in-law. Among their many activities was the publication of Yidisher Folklor (Yiddish/Jewish Folklore) magazine which collected songs and information about composers and lyricists.
Due to illness, Chana left YIVO in the early 1970s. Chana and Yosl, who had been education director of the Workman's Circle and was now associate editor of the Forverts, the Yiddish-language Jewish Daily Forward, began writing a bi-weekly column called "Perl fun der Yidisher Poezie" ("Pearls of Yiddish Poetry"). Readers would submit queries about Yiddish songs or poems which the Mloteks would identify. They would also set puzzles and questions for readers to answer. Over the years, the Mloteks gathered thousands of songs which led to the publication of three well-respected anthologies of Yiddish songs: Mir Trogn a Gezang (We Are Carrying a Song), Perl fun der Yidisher Poezie (Pearls of Yiddish Song) and Songs of Generations: New Pearls of Yiddish Song. Chana proudly displays these publications along with We Are Here: Songs of the Holocaust and 25 Ghetto Songs. Chana talks about some of her other works such as writing ten songs to Sutzkever poems and publishing collections such as Lomir Zingen: Lider far Yidishe Kinder (Let's Sing: Songs for Yiddish/Jewish Children), Yontefdike Teg (Holidays, Songbook for the Jewish Holidays).
Chana describes some of her husband's early life. While still in Warsaw, Yosl organized radio and theatre programs at the Medem Sanatorium, an educational and clinical facility for children and young adults at risk for tuberculosis near Warsaw, Poland. He wrote for Di Kleyne Folkstsaytung (The People's Small Newspaper), a Bundist publication. He was sent to report on the pogrom in Przytyk which was the basis for the famous Moishe Gebirtig song, "Undzer shtetl brent" ("Our shtetl is burning"). Yosl then went to Vilna, Lithuania, where he worked on eyewitness testimonies of Jewish refugees. With a transit visa from Chiune Sugihara, Vice-Consul for the Empire of Japan in Lithuania, he escaped Europe for Japan and then went to Shanghai where he became a librarian in the Russian library and also worked on Yiddish newspapers. Yosl lived in Shanghai for seven years until he moved to Calgary in 1947, where he worked for two years until he received the scholarship to study Yiddish linguistics and folklore at UCLA.
Returning to her own activities, Chana describes how, through her children's Yiddish School mothers' club, she organized shows and plays. These activities were very important in fostering a sense of Yiddishkeit (Jewishness). They performed Hershele Ostropolyer, a well-known humorous musical play. Chana found the music, adapted it and "it was a hit." Chana lists some of the many shows and plays that were performed, such as Sholem Aleichem's Dos groyse gevins (The Big Lottery/The Jackpot), Khasane in shtetl (Wedding in the Village) by Yosl Mlotek, Lider fun Itzik Manger (Songs by Itzik Manger,) and A Gilbert & Sullivan Purim Shpil by Chana based on Gilbert and Sullivan's music and songs with new words written in Yiddish. The shows were full of fun and involved the whole community.
Following the provision of a National Endowment for the Humanities grant to organize some of YIVO's collections, Chana returned to work there in 1978. Although untrained, Chana developed appropriate skills while working on many collections such as the Cahan collection; the ethnographic community of Vilna collection of 700 songs; the Litvin (a journalist and folklorist) collection; the Shulim Nigur (a major literary critic) collection, which is one of largest collections at YIVO; the Joseph Opatashu Collection (containing letters from Chagall); the Morris Rosenfeld collection; and the Goldfaden Collection.
In 1984 she started working with YIVO's music collections including the Weiner, Heifetz, Szmulewicz, and Yaffa collections. Chana describes some of the many delights in these collections such as seeing Chagall's drawings on his letters. At the time of this interview she is working on the Hebrew Actors' Union collection dating from 1888 which includes works by Michal Finkelstein, Hellman, Arnold Perlmutter, Hermann Wohl and Shmierke Kascerginski. Chana loves this work: "Every day is a learning experience for me."
Chana has written many articles on a wide range of topics such as the works of Velvel Zbarjer, Goldfaden compositions that were originally thought to be folk songs, Sholem Aleichem music and songs, American folk songs, music collections she has worked upon, and Yiddish folk songs. Chana displays some of her YIVO catalogues of sheet music, choral music, and composers and compilers. She proudly displays the English translation of Pearls of Yiddish Poetry and Yiddish Folksongs from the Ruth Rubin Collection, published by YIVO.
Asked why folklore is important, Chana replies that it enriches life. It's part of one's culture and heritage, that one gets to learn why we conform to certain traditions and practices and to learn about one's roots. Chana remarks that musicians like Hankus Netsky have introduced young people to klezmer which means more young people are learning and singing Yiddish. Chana states that music is important because it is natural; the love of Yiddish music, combined with the feeling of being Jewish, creates an even stronger combination.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Chicho I have one pair, and I like them so much..... I am ordering 4 more! Since I haven't had them very long, I'm not too sure how long they'll last, or how long they'll stay looking good. So far so good! January 21, 2014

I just finished watching all the (US) available classic series DVDs in chronological order. It took a year!
For me, the Baker years when he was teamed with Producer Philip Hinchcliffe and Script Editor Robert Holmes were the high point of the whole classic run, in particular, Series 13. Pyramids of Mars was and still is my favorite story. The moment Scarman steps out of the time tunnel terrified me as a kid, and still does today.

The Packers have added another running back to the stable. Michael Hill is rejoining the team. Originally signed by the Packers last September to join the practice squad, Hill was promoted to the active roster for a couple of games because of injury. When Eddie Lacy and John Kuhn returned to the lineup, Hill was cut only to be brought back onto the practice squad a week later. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were hit by injury and they signed Hill to their active roster where he appeared in the final six games of the season. He carried the ball 9 times for 23 yards in Tampa. With a new coaching staff brought in after the season, Hill was released. The 5-19, 209 pound back played college ball at Missouri Western State. He re-joins a backfield that includes Lacy, the NFL's offensive rookie of the year, along with Johnathan Franklin and DuJuan Harris who is coming off a major knee injury. James Starks and Kuhn are both unrestricted free agents.
The Packers have announced the dates for the 9th annual Tailgate Tour. It will roll out of Lambeau Field April 15-19 and head north. Stops are planned for Escanaba and Ironwood, Michigan along with Superior, Rice Lake and Merrill, Wisconsin. Team president Mark Murphy will lead the delegation on the fundraising tour with current players Jarrett Bush, Brad Jones and Mason Crosby. Former Packer players Lynn Dickey, Paul Coffman and NFL Hall of Famer James Lofton will also be making the trip.

I came to this camp through my school. I saw the flier in my school and I speak Hindi and I thought why not volunteer here. There were other volunteers too so we tried to make it fun. The kids were amazing too, they were kind of shy for a couple of days but after a while it was all-good. The projects were good. Cooking was really good. Some of the projects were little advanced for their level but they all grow up to it. This week I learnt, as I did not know, about monuments. I would definitely be back next year. You should volunteer for this camp because kids are really cute, the projects are very good and you feel like you are actually making a difference. You don't feel that you are useless and just filling your volunteer hours, here you are actually making a difference.
I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and interacting with young kids. It was wonderful to learn about Indian culture and I also enjoyed helping out. Look forward to more time helping out next summer too.
The camp was a wonderful introduction to how 'cool' learning Hindi can be for our kids in the US. In just a single week I could see improvement in my son's pronunciation of Hindi words. He camp's various themes weaves in stories about India and it's people which made Jano India more than just a Hindi camp. Kudos to USHF.
--Hitesh Anand
Thank you for teaching my daughter about all famous people and various food and cultural activities.
I was very impressed with Jano India. Our son had a great time learning Hindi, doing arts & crafts, cooking Indian snacks and learning about Indian leaders. The teacher to student ratio was good. The teachers and assistance were very caring & enjoy working with kids.
I would like to thank the group camp that giving all the information about great people in India. The kids learn about the culture and language. It is a wonderful feeling that they learnt about their parents' culture.
--Mangala Singh
We are glad to send Esha for the 'Jano India' camp. Esha has learnt a lot in just 2 weeks. She is excited to wake up early, just to come here. Esha has made new friends, learnt Hindi and the Indian festivals. A happy child = happy parent
--Sanjay Wanzakhade
Wonderful performance by the kids, especially with just 1 week of practice. Amazed to see how much they have learned in just one week and how much they have come to love India! Keep up the wonderful work and would love to come back!
Wonderful opportunity for non-Hindi speaking kids to learn nuances of the language and traditions/festivals of India. My son loved every day at this camp! Great teachers and staff.
Excellent camp my son Asteya has learned a lot in two weeks. We are planning to continue for remaining weeks. Every week Jano India has a program in the end – very well organized. I would recommend the camp any day.
--Sapna Gupta
It was a extremely good experience for my kids. A definite come back
We had a great experience at the Jano India camp. There is a good mix of learning and fun. My son had a great time doing the cooking activities, made friends and learned a lot about our culture. This camp is really enriching. Congratulations on a great effort by the teaching team. Thanks!!!
Thank you for a wonderful camp. The boys thoroughly enjoyed it and were very excited to share all the days happenings with us. They've also learnt so much over the last week it's absolutely amazing. We wish we had signed them up for all the weeks. We will definitely be back next time.
--Rajiv P
Thank you very much for the teachers and volunteers of USHF& Jano India for making my daughter's summer so much fun and enjoyable. She loved learning Hindi and about India. Most importantly she made friends and got so much love from her wonderful teachers. The Jano India team is like a loving family for her. Thank you for everything!!
--Mary Manohar
Very informative, my kid is now starting to talk and sing songs in Hindi. He wants to come back to this camp. Very good camp to get kids started in Hindi
--Camp Parent
Aapkaa 'Jano India Camp' bahut hee prashansa poorn prayatna hai. Aaj kay karyakrum me in bachchon kee performance dekh kar bahut hee achchaa lagaa. Bachchay bahut kuchh seekh rahay hain apnay desh kay baaray mein. Bahut hee sarahaneeya!!
This was my son's first week in the camp. He really enjoyed it. It was very informative for him. It encouraged him to learn more Hindi. He is going to come for next 2 weeks. Kudos to USHF
We are completely new to this summer program. My kid is very new to Hindi too. She really enjoyed this camp. I think she learnt something about India too. She said that they were making yummy and healthy recipes too. I hope we will continue next year this camp.
--Kreethika (Anushree's mom)
An excellent camp!! My daughter not only learnt so much about India and Hindi language but most of all she had fun while at it. The hard work of teachers shows in the Friday presentation they do. Highly recommended!
Shreya had a great time. She talked about the games she played & her teachers. She is also more open to talking in Hindi.
She had a lot of fun in the class. She was able to pick up a lot of Hindi words and phrases during the week. It was a very useful camp.
--Soumitra Ghosh
This is Rohan's 2nd year at Jano India. It's refreshing to see how hard the teachers work to keep the level of education/fun high. Thanks to you guys Rohan picked up many cultural aspects about Indian culture.
Suchita has shown tremendous improvements in her Hindi learning since past 3-4 weeks that she has been at Jano India Camp. The songs and material they learn is interesting and fun. I'm thankful for Jano India for helping my daughter learn Indian culture better.
The Jano India is a wonderful effort. Children are learning a lot about India which we are not able to teach at home ourselves. It is commendable and worth appreciating. Good show!! Keep it up!! Volunteers are doing an awesome job. Thanks a lot!
We wanted a camp where both kids could start learning Hindi. At Jano India summer camp they have made good progress on that. Learning poems, letters, plays in Hindi. It has got kids excited about the Hindi. Learning facts about India came as a bonus.
This was our first time and my 6 year old loved it. She was super excited about singing and talking in Hindi. She enjoyed the cooking activity and art work projects. She is looking forward to spending another week at Camp Jano India.
Excellent organization, professionalism and very valuable exposure to kids towards Indian culture in the right approach. Keep it up.
My son had a great time in camp for both weeks that he attended. I was surprised at how much they learned in one week period. I would specially like to commend Miss Pallavi for an excellent teaching experience.
My kid really had an enjoyable week (5th) at the Camp Jano India. My son enjoyed playing Holi endeavor of Camp Jano India is really appreciable. My son got acquainted with so many incredible things about India. We are looking forward to come to this Camp next year too.
Maya enjoyed her second week of camp just as much as much as her first. She especially enjoyed playing Holi. She's also excited to start Hindi classes with you this school year. Monticello Academy and she has already asked if she can do camp again next year.
--Laura Ghosh
This week topped my expectation once again. It is a moment of pride to hear my daughter recite VandeMataram and ask for watermelon in Hindi. Any number of India trips would not have given her the exposure and understanding of Indian festivals as this week/camp did in five days. We look forward to another fun – filled week next week.
My daughter has been coming almost every week. We love the cultural things she is learning. Lots of things which we knew as kids, but have forgotten over the years. In the end when she stands up and recites National Anthem is the most heart touching experience.
I'm grandfather of one of your students. Visiting from India. The way he has picked up Hindi speaking is really wonderful. The efforts by all the volunteers is commendable indeed. Great show. Keep it up.
Shalini really enjoyed Camp Jano India. This was her first week. She really enjoyed introduction to Hindi as well as the cooking activities. She wants to return back again.
My girls loved Camp Jano India so much that they have asked me to sign them up for another week.They really enjoyed Holi and they loved giving the performance to Friday. Thanks.
--Todd Lewis
My son Asteya is enrolled in Jano India Camp for 6 weeks. We are very Happy with the program. Very well designed with dedicated teachers. What I like most about it is it has exposed Asteya to many aspects of Indian culture. And above all Asteya loves the Camp and looks forward to coming to the Camp each day!
This is our first time with Jano India and kids really loved the camp.
This is our first time with Jano India and kids really love it. I wish this camp is in San Jose. Kids are ready to come back next year. We are very impressed that kids were able to put-up the play in such a short time. I am sure my kids have learnt a lot about our culture, which was our main intention of joining the camp;
This is Asteya's mom again . Today is the last day of the camp and we really wish the camp was another 2 weeks.Great work done by all the teachers & volunteers! My niece Sakshi volunteered and has very good things to say about it! Best wishes.
Thank you for the wonderful week. It was very satisfying to see our children learn about the country of their parents' origin. Samay had a great time doing all the activities. Performance at the end was a great idea so we can see what all they have learnt. Please keep doing this great work!
--Rachana Shah
My daughter learned so much in the one week they were in class. My girls loved the Camp. Thank you
This was our first year at Camp Jano India and what a blast my two kids had. They enjoyed all four weeks of camp, the highlight for my daughter was the on-site Holi celebration. They explored our culture and food through this fun journey and are looking forward to coming back again next year!
It was a pleasant surprise hearing my 8 yr old mouth phrases in Hindi, talk about Gandhi and sprout Indian state names. I think he enjoyed the cooking the most. He looked forward to Jano India Camp every morning. He made some friends and learnt a lot about his country & culture
This is the first time at this camp. It has been fun according to our daughter and she'd like to attend another camp.
Helped my child learn about Indian culture, my kid liked Hindi and was a good form of social interaction. The Camp has instilled lot of good knowledge about India& especially diversity & cultural flavors in India.
This is a good place to start with if you want to learn Hindi as well if your kids like to spend quality summer time. My daughter had great time here and enjoyed learning Hindi.
--Marimuthu P.K
Yeh camp achcha laga. Kids got to learn lots of Indian things.
My daughter really enjoyed the camp. This is the second time she has attended. The Camp is a gentle introduction to India & its culture.
My kids want to Jano India Camp for a week. They have learned a lot about India and Hindi. I am thankful to organizers.
--S Joshi
My kids 13 & 6 really enjoyed the Camp esp. making Mango Lassi.
"I think the camp had nice daily activities and I am proud of the fluency they attained"
Our kids enjoyed the cooking the most and liked all the teachers. Making the books and the shirts were also a favorite. This was their second year and plan to come back next year.
Next year please include a more detailed description of what each week covers. We would have liked to enroll them in Incredible India if we had known what you are covering.
--Reid Powers
I am very happy I sent my daughter to the Jano India camp. She learnt a lot in a short while having fun and doing things she liked. I especially liked the cooking segment it definitely makes the kids feel "grown up". Great job, would recommend it to my friends.
My son has attended the 1st and partly the 2nd level of Hindi class before. We liked the idea of camps as it exposes our kids to all the different festivals, food, traditions and culture of India. This way the kids appreciate it a lot more and understand better. I liked the camp a lot.
Sahana does not have any background whatsoever in Hindi. She goes to a dual immersion program in Spanish and English. I believe this camp helped her develop a lot of interest in Hindi as well as her identity as an Indian American. I am quite impressed with her Hindi pronunciation. The teachers (all of them) were very warm and supportive. We are leaving today for India& I bet Sahana can practice her Hindi quite a bit there. I would strongly recommend this camp to our friends & colleagues. Hope to see you next summer!
Medha had wonderful time and learned a lot. Presentation by kids was real fun to watch, and it was amazing to see it prepared in very short time (1 week time)

It may have been the most epic, awesome final period ever at Liberty Middle School in Cumming. Students packed into the gym, cheering as more than 60 of their teachers, coaches and school resource officers and classmates lined up to get their heads shaved.
With the Liberty Middle School band playing "Another One Bites the Dust," another one did.
Football coach Todd Holbrooke sat in the hot seat grinning, the clippers mowing through what's left of his beloved brown hair.
Giving it all up to honor 14-year old Sydney Ridings, by raising money for CURE Childhood Cancer, in a gesture so big, it left her at a loss for words. Sydney says, "It was an overwhelming amount of support, and love."
For Sydney's mom Tammy Ridings, the day was emotional. Tammy says "It was just great to see the community come out, not only for Sydney, but for every child fighting childhood cancer."
Sydney came to Liberty Middle two and a half years ago, a fresh faced sixth grader, freshly diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma, a rare bone cancer.
She's now on her second round, balancing chemo with drama, radiation with science fairs, living with fighting to live.
Her mom Tammy says, "I remember when she was first diagnosed. The first tear that came to her eye was wondering how the kids were going to respond to her not having any hair. So, to see that they have supported her. Whether she wears a wig, or whether she doesn't. Whether she wears a hat, or whether she comes bald, has been amazing."
In all 63 people gave up their hair in this St. Baldrick's celebration, raising $15,000 for research into treating – and maybe one day curing - cancers like the one Sydney's fighting. Tammy Ridings says her family wants to give back by raising as much money as possible to fund critical research. Tammy says, "We want that opportunity for her to be well. So, that we can move forward, and do the type of work we know that needs to be done. Helping other kids move forward."
Liberty Middle School graduation coach Jamie Rife organized the mass head-shaving event. Every school resource officer from across Forsyth County showed up to face the clippers. So did local firefighters. Rife says, "It shows what Forsyth County is all about, and the fact that we can come together, for this young lady, nd do something incredible and amazing. It's just a testament to our community."
If you notice someone missing a whole lot of hair in Forsyth County, smile and say hello to another member, of Sydney's Army.

Our Vertical Tote is a perfect alternative, giving you the space of a traditional tote with the beautiful look and long lasting life of quality leather.Loaded with space for all those essentials you need every day, this tote is made with all leather throughout. Besides the spacious main compartment, we also include 2 interior pockets for items like smartphones, pens, or makeup, and a zippered pocket for a wallet, ID, or other small accessories.Whether you're a student who needs to carry books and a laptop or a professional who needs to have their tablet and important documents, our Vertical Tote has the space to hold it. Say hello to your new favorite accessory!
Casual yet distinctive, our Timeless collection is one of our favorites. This leather boasts a polished finish and a soft hand feel, making it a great choice for any leather connoisseur. And with the variety of colors it comes in, it's easy to find a shade that appeals to you or matches with your other accessories. As the name implies, our Timeless collection will hold up through years of use while aging gracefully every step of the way.
Please note: textures in this collection range from light grain to a lightly pebbled grain depending on which part of the hide it's from.
Everything we get from you is perfect. Long may you live and flourish.
Birthday present for my 80yr old stepmother's birthday who really wanted & could not find, a "true yellow" tote. Added embossed initials.
Initials are placed on the small tab, located at top.
Coincidentally, my 18 yr old,college bound niece, also, approvingly, quizzed me about the vertical design and available colors.
Beautiful and excellent quality, as all your products are -- and beautifully packaged. I'd love another less deep inner pocket, but I will survive and will use this for years.
Very soft and lovely leather. Holds everything, with just the right amount of pockets for everyday use. I can easily carry my iPad, Kindle, phone, etc., and it fits nicely over the shoulder. I love it. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because the monogram is a disappointment. I had expected it to be somewhat larger and more visible. I should have, with the color of this bag, selected either silver or gold.
This tote is great. The leather is very soft, and the navy color is beautifuly. It arrived nicely packaged in a dust bag and gift box. Perfect "thank-you" gift.
My new cobalt blue tote is beautiful and functional. I get compliments every time I use it.
My daughter loved it. A great Christmas present.
I bought this tote as a gift for my 23 year old granddaughter,and she was delighted. (She left for London the next day and yes, she was carrying it!
The color is exactly as pictured, the quality is excellent, the bag held everything she wanted to carry, all in the right places. It was an excellent purchase. (Just wish I had one too!!)
Whether you are treating yourself or giving a gift to someone else, we want you to have an amazing and memorable experience. All items will be shipped using our signature gift packaging. Depending on the type and size, your item(s) will come wrapped in our signature microsuede sleeve, drawstring bag or soft velour bag (each with black tie accents), and be packaged inside a high-density bronze gift box. You will also have the opportunity to add a personalized gift note when you place your order.
All of this extra attention to detail is complimentary.

Rach - your babes are so cute! Did AF come yet?
Kelly - good luck with everything!
Kay - ill be waiting for a pic of the positive opk!
Liza, cookie and gator grits - good luck with your upcoming iui's!
Natalie - are you using the clear blue smiley face ones? That's what I used this cycle!
As for me I'm almost halfway done with the TWW... My opk was positive last Friday so I probably o'd Saturday or Sunday. I've already been using some Internet cheapies because I'm crazy. I'm not feeling too optimistic about this cycle though I really want a December baby. My job requires me to work Christmas eve and the day after and my family lives in grand rapids Michigan while I live all the way on the east side of the state, and would like not to have to rush home. If we had a baby I would be on maternity leave also not really enjoying the side effects of the metformin I'm excited to get some testing next month if I don't get a BFP and maybe I can get some direction!

Globe Specialty Metals,
Jeff Bradley,
NEW YORK Brazils silicon industry has significantly curtailed output as producers opt to sell power back to the spot market instead of producing in a move some speculate could eventually lead to higher silicon prices in the United States. A combination of slumping silicon prices and a dry winter has led a number of Brazilian producers to turn off capacity, choosing instead to sell their power back to other consumers, participants say. Depending on how much rain Brazil gets in the next few months, this trend could continue into early next year and push U.S. silicon prices up by curbing imports, market players speculate. U.S. prices are currently at two-year lows of $1.25 to $1.30 per pound. At least three Brazilian silicon producers have significantly cut production, sources told AMM. Rima Industrial SA, which has a capacity of 65,000 tonnes per year, is running about 43 percent of its total production, a source familiar with the operation told AMM. Ligas de Aluminio SA (Liasa) and Cia Ferroligas Minas Gerais (Minasligas) have also shut a significant amount of their production, other participants said. ....
