Viewer Comments: Shingles - Effective Treatments
Patient Comments & Reviews
The eMedicineHealth doctors ask about Shingles:
Comment from: Zerocool, 3-6 Female (Caregiver) Published: March 08
Hello I wanted to post this and hopefully help some people. There is no documented case of this to mine and my doctor's knowledge but this is the best way I can get the word out. My daughter, age 4, has shingles. It's very bad on stomach, wrapping around side and back. It looks like someone burned her with a blow torch. The doctor said this is the youngest case he personally had ever seen. After I called my mom she had told me that my step dad was vaccinated for shingles only 6 days earlier. We looked on the calendar and saw that he came to our house for dinner the next day. My daughter loves her Grandpa and sits on his lap and gives him hugs and kisses most of the time when they come over. I called back her doctor and he said that even though there is NO DOCUMENTED CASES. He said he thinks that her outbreak was triggered by him for sure. He also said that the vaccination is a live virus. And he will definitely be warning patients who get the vaccine about this. He also said that there have been vaccines that have been stated not to be contagious and after a few years they have been over turned to be mildly contiguous. He ended the call saying the shingles vaccine has only been around for about 4 years there probably isn't enough information and feedback about this type of case but he thinks there is definitely something to this. I hope this help some people and if you discover a similar case please document it on the Internet so it case be known.
Comment from: jdkinsurance@verizon, 65-74 Male (Patient) Published: September 17
I have been diabetic for over 10 years, and one day , a week ago, I felt there was a lump over my eye brows. It was very sensitive and painful every time I touched it. Then another one under the hair of my eye brows, every time I touched it it was hurting like pins going through my skin, and then the headache started. Sometimes it was severe and some times it was mild, but it is always there. Then one appeared behind the ear and now the severe pain started all over the head, the ear, and the eye started swelling. Now I have blisters all over the the left side of the head. My family doctor thought it was an insect bite so he gave me Zyrtek, but the eye doctor found out it was the shingles. It is the most painful malady I ever had and now I am on antivirus medication. Healing has started, but the headache is still there.
Comment from: Rick, 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: September 11
Here's an observation: My first exposure to shingles came after I re-introduced back bends to a yoga routine after a long hiatus due to an abdominal injury. My lower back flexibility has suffered greatly. So I began to target specific areas. The first area was between T10 and L2. After a few weeks, I developed a rash on my right side accompanied with tingling and skin sensitivity that runs along those dermatomes. The doctor prescribed Famciclovir. These past few weeks, I've targeted the areas between L2 and S2. Oddly enough, the shingles rash is developing on my left foot along the L5 dermatome. Interesting, isn't it? I got great relief the first time with acupuncture.

Comment from: Shingling, 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: September 11
I have frequently had the tingling sensations as I run a very stressful life and poor eating and sleeping habits. I had recurrent outbreaks of fever sores and blisters and when I had the sensations, I took Valtrex for few days which made everything go back to normal. I ran out of the Valtrex and recently I developed Shingles, which I am taking Famvir to treat it now combined with Prednisone to alleviate the postherpetic neuralgia. I virtually have had very little pain and after 72 hours the rashes subsided.

Comment from: Barbara, 75 or over Female (Caregiver) Published: November 26
My husband has had post herpetic neuralgia for approximately 19 years. He was given the usual medication within 72 hours, but to no avail. There have never been blisters or rash but the attacks of pain are severe. He has tried Zostrix, but cannot stand the burning. About 10 years ago I asked him to describe the pain in detail, and he said it was like severe sunburn. The only thing I had was 'Sun-Shades 30plus' which is a sunscreen lotion made in Australia, so applied that. The relief was very quick. I apply it very firmly to painful site, better than light application which only exacerbates the pain. It gives relief but doesn't stop the attacks happening.
Comment from: Carol, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: February 24
I am a 63-year-old woman who had my first case of shingles about 5 years ago. I have had it in 2 places. The first place was on my rib cage. There was pain so severe I couldn't wear a bra and got in to the doctor fast enough that I was on a med before breaking out and prevented that. Still, the pain was severe enough for several weeks that I went without a bra, wearing t-shirts and roomy jumpers to work. I went through about 3 events like this, succeeding at no blisters each time.

Serves eight to ten.
This light and tender cake flavored with lemon, layered with tangy lemon curd, and coated with a voluptuous lemony butter frosting will make any birthday happy. But why wait until then?
Position a rack in the middle of the oven; heat the oven to 350°F. Generously butter and flour two 8 x 2-inch round cake pans. Sift the cake flour, baking powder, and salt together into a medium bowl. Pulse 1/4 cup of the sugar with the zest in a food processor until well combined.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and lemon sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 1-1/2 minutes). Add the remaining 1-1/2 cups sugar and beat until smooth (about 1-1/2 minutes). Beat in a quarter of the milk just until blended. On low speed, add the flour mixture alternately with the milk in three batches, scraping the bowl with a rubber spatula; beat just until blended.
In another large bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer (with clean beaters or the whip attachment) on medium speed just until foamy. Add the cream of tartar, increase the speed to medium high, and beat just until the whites form stiff peaks when the beaters are lifted. Add a quarter of the whites to the batter and gently fold them in with a whisk or a rubber spatula; continue to gently fold in the whites, a quarter at a time, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Smooth the tops with the spatula. Bake until a pick inserted in the centers comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in the pans on a rack for 10 minutes. Run a table knife around the inside of the pans and carefully invert each cake out onto the rack. Flip them right side up and let cool completely.
With the palm of one hand pressed on top of a cake layer, cut each in half horizontally, using a long serrated knife. Put one of the four cake layers on a serving plate, cut side up. With an offset spatula or a table knife, spread a generous 1/3 cup chilled lemon curd on top of the cake layer. Lay another cake layer on top, spread it with another generous 1/3 cup lemon curd, and repeat with the third cake layer, using the last 1/3 cup lemon curd. Top with the fourth cake layer.
In a medium bowl, beat the butter and lemon zest with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the confectioners' sugar in batches and beat until light and fluffy. Add the lemon juice and beat for 1 minute. (You can make the frosting a couple of hours ahead and keep it, covered, at cool room temperature.)
Up to a few hours before serving, spread a thin layer of frosting on the cake, filling in any gaps as you go. Chill until the frosting firms a bit, about 1/2 hour. (This "crumb coat" will keep crumbs from catching on your spatula and marring the finished cake.) Spread the remaining frosting decoratively over the top and sides of the cake. Scatter with bits of lemon zest and dragees, or garnish as you like.

4/23/2014I made this cake about 4 or 5 years ago! When I tell you it was the most awesomest thing ever!!?? It was! I made no deviations! It was made exactly as is....it was rather involved but this swas soooooooooo goooooooood! I would not say this is a good start for beginning bakers but when it is certainly worth a try if you want to experiment and have some time!!! I do have the orginal magazine this dessert came in so I'm doubly blessed! Great cake...and not too sweet....perfect! :))) #lemonfan
by TukeIHNW,
7/29/2013Really great cake!
I skipped over the questionable frosting part and made an ordinary lemon buttercream frosting that went really well.
I also doubled the curd recipe; I didn't use all of it, but I used more than half so I'm glad I doubled it. (Plus, as it turns out that lemon curd is delicious so leftovers are fun.)
Btw, it's really really important to flatten the cake-batter before you stick it in the oven. (or err on the side of a shallower center). 'Turns out that lemon curd is slipperier than a greased pig and gravity will pull apart the cake if it's allowed to. And I wouldn't try to cook the curd past the point of slipperyness--you'll overcook it. I think it's just in curd's nature to be slippy.
But really! A marvelous cake! Don't serve this to anyone who doesn't like lemons.
by MOMBAKER,
7/26/2013This cake is very good. I've made it with the lemon curd recipe. It is amazing! I did use buttercream for the frosting because the icing recipe seemed like it would be too sweet. Only problem I had is it didn't rise very much at all. I've made this recipe 5 times and it never rose very far so I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong but it still tasted great!
by cpbsilver,
3/31/2013Excellent recipe! Made cake and curd just as written but used cream cheese in the frosting instead of butter, along with the zest and lemon juice. Came out exactly as it should have - fine textured, moist cake and tart silky lemon curd. Not difficult, but labor intensive - and absolutely worth it!
To serve Easter Sunday I made the curd Thursday, the cake on Friday & froze it , then Sunday morning made the frosting and put it all together. I did make an icing dam around the curd which wasn't suggested in the instructions, but proved helpful. I have looked at this recipe for a couple of years and am so glad I finally made it! Go ahead - you'll love it and so will your guests! Really special cake!!
by BakingACake,
8/1/2012A very fine cake with excellent crumb and flavor and beautiful presentation for a birthday or special occasion. A slight change I made was an Italian lemon meringue frosting which keeps the cake light - a nice contrast to the more-solid lemon curd filling. Letting the cakes rest in the pan after removing from the oven is an important step, but no longer, or it will feel moist from condensation.
by 405tulips,
7/7/2012I'm not a big cake fan, but made this for Easter dessert. Now, this will become an annual addition to Easter. This recipe takes a little bit of effort, but is totally worth your time. Love, love, love the lemon.
by Lovin_My_Oven,
5/16/2012Outrageously delicious. Rather than garnishing with lemon peel, I surrounded the top rim with Red Raspberries. I cut raspberries in half and surrounded the base. Since it was for my daughter's 8th birthday, I made a circle of whole raspberries in the center and used them as candle holders.
It was gorgeous and delicious. I wish I could upload a photo as my guests were seriously impressed.
by Ann007,
9/13/2011I made the cake and alternated layers of vanilla pastry cream and blueberry sauce (flavoured with lemon juice). I then topped it with cream cheese frosting (with vanilla and lemon juice) and blueberries and more blueberry sauce on top. It was divine!
by kostinovia,
6/22/2011Made this cake - but had to alter the frosting recipe. As written, the frosting was awful - and so the 4 star rating. I added 8 oz cream cheese to the frosting-then had to adjust the sugar to taste. If you have a favorite plain cream cheese frosting - go with that. On the whole - this cake was DELISH! The lemon curd is a must and is SO much tastier than store bought.
by Rosemaryandthegoat,
5/18/2011I made this recipe using a lemon cream cheese frosting in place of the buttercream frosting. I also took the lemon curd and folded it into some of the whipped cream frosting for the filling. I have been taking cake decorating and flower classes at Hobby Lobby so I made yellow primrose and daffodil flowers to decorate top of cake. Beautiful.
by yjbus,
4/26/2011i didn't have any butter left for the frosting so i made a simple whipped cream using heavy cream, sugar, and lemon. the frosting had a noticeable hint of lemon in it which worked very well with the cake without being too overpowering.
the cake and the curd were perfectly balanced.
overall a great recipe.
i did get around to making the frosting for this recipe and i must say it was really odd. just butter and confectioner's sugar? it was borderline disgusting trying it because it tasted like i was just eating a stick of butter. also, in order to get the butter to turn white, you need to add way too much sugar resulting in basically a really really sweet stick of butter. eating it with cake wasnt so bad, but just knowing i was basically spreading pure butter on it was just so off putting. stick with a classic buttercream or in my opinion an even better match up with this particular cake is a simple lemon whipped cream.
by carol1945,
10/1/2010This cake was on the front cover of Fine Cooking (I think) -- I made it several years ago and thought it was absolutely fantastic. After spending hours trying to rummage through my old Fine Cooking magazines, I realized, just go to the website!!! This cake does take time, but it is well worth it if you are a lemon lover like myself. The lemon flavor is exquisite.
by runner64,
5/21/2010Excellent cake packed with lemon flavor.
by ann864,
4/6/2009My daughter made it for her father's birthday. She used cake flour. It was fantastic. I highly recommend it. She did not put the decorations on top. It deserves the highest rating.
by mjCooker,
1/10/2009This was Soooooo delicious. The silver dragees were a neat idea for decoration. My little lemon peel strips didn't curl, so my cake was not quite as pretty at the photo here, but the taste was right up there with the best.
by StIves,
11/18/2008Very nice cake with lots of lemon flavor. Since my sister wanted Lemon 'Poppy Seed' Cake for her birthday, I folded in 2 Tablespoons of toasted poppy seeds with the egg whites. Interestingly, I misread the amount of butter in the cake batter and used only 6 Tablespoons (instead of 6 ounces) and the cake was still very nice. Maybe I'll do that again next time to save calories. I think it's important to give this cake enough time to set and let the flavors meld. And as others suggested, it's also helpful to make the 3 components in stages.
by ryn,
10/7/2008The cake was wonderful. Great flavor and texture. I did make a true buttercream, but found I had to add a touch of lemon juice and confectioners sugar to the buttercream to get the right balance of lemon.
by oikjhgfdx,
7/3/2008Nice and tart lemon recipe. Add some raspberries and it looks wonderful.
by Amy,
5/11/2008Lovely! The lemon curd filling is outstanding. The frosting is too sweet (in my opinion) so I would make a true buttercream next time.
by VABAKER,
4/21/2008I love this cake! It is time consuming because you must use fresh lemons, but it is well worth the effort. I use the best butter I can find (Plugra) for the frosting. I also try to make it in stages so it doesn't seem so daunting a task. You can make the curd one day, the cake the next (I freeze the layers to make them easier to frost), then make the frosting and put it all together. I did find that it is better to refrigerate it before you cut it because the curd tends to make the top layer slide around a bit. I've also doubled it for a large 14" square cake pan and made a two layer cake that will serve up to 30 people. Everybody who has tasted this cake raves about it and requests it again and again.

radiohead and friends of the earth latin america promote climate justice
British band Radiohead joined Friends of the Earth Latin America in the campaign for Climate Justice. In March 2009, as the band performed in some of the continent's largest cities, Friends of the Earth International member groups spoke to concert goers on the climate issues affecting the region and beyond.
The tour took in Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Buenos Aries and Santiago. At each show Friends of the Latin America were there promoting the federation's climate justice campaign.
In support of the campaign Radiohead's lead singer, Thom Yorke, said:
"The solutions to climate change already exist. We just need politicians to make the right decisions. We can all convince politicians to do the right thing.
Support Friends of the Earth's campaigns by signing up to them at our concerts or on their websites and show your governments what you want them to do against climate change".
Here's what happened on the tour:
During the Radiohead concerts in Mexico City, on March 15 and 16, Otros Mundos Chiapas/Friends of the Earth Mexico, collected 2,000 signatures asking the Mexican authorities to comply with agreements signed on CO2 emissions relating to sectors such as public transport, large industry and mining activities.
View photos of the audience sending their message to the world.
Friends of the Earth Brazil collected 2,600 signatures before the Radiohead show in São Paolo on March 22. The signatures were in support of a bill promoting decentralised renewable energies which is currently being discussed by the government.
Carolina Hermann from FoE Brazil said that around 15 volunteers spoke to the band's fans on issues of climate justice before each show.
"The people were very receptive. When we spoke of renewable energies everyone showed an interest and wanted to collaborate" she said.
During Radiohead's concert in Buenos Aires volunteers for Friends of the Earth Argentina collected signatures calling for a law to protect South America's Glaciers.
Ten volunteers wearing white t-shirts bearing the slogan 'Glaciers. Witnesses and victims of climate change. Protect them Now' spoke to members of the audience informing them about the melting of glaciers as a result of climate change and the need for a law to protect them.
More than 1,700 people added their signatures to the campaign which will be added to the 27,000 signatures already collected on the website www.protecciónglaciares.com.ar.
In Chile volunteers from Friends of the Earth Chile/CODEFF, collected more than 6,200 signatures during Radiohead's two performances in Santiago on March 26 and 27.
The signatures also called on the government to create a law to protect glaciers. This is part of CODEFF's sustainability and climate justice campaign. The campaign aims to raise public awareness about the main causes and impacts of climate change.
When signing, many people welcomed Friends of the Earth International's climate campaign and pointed out that these kinds of initiatives are necessary to let people in Latin America know about the problem and to inform them about how they can protect the environment.

Verse: The heavens declare the glory of God.
BRETHREN, comfort one another with these words. But as to the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need to have anything written to you. For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. When people say, "There is peace and security," then sudden destruction will come upon them as travail comes upon a woman with child, and there will be no escape. But you are not in darkness, brethren, for that day to surprise you like a thief. For you are all sons of light and sons of the day; we are not of the night or of darkness. So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober. For those who sleep sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. But, since we belong to the day, let us be sober, and put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us so that whether we wake or sleep we might live with him.

L'évolution des systèmes d'information pour la gestion QEHS
Webinar Overview
The Evolution of Enterprise EHS Management Information Systems (EHS MIS)
Across the globe, companies are faced with the challenge sifting through piles of data in order to be in compliance with ever-changing standards. EHS has much more than a compliance function, albeit complex, but also a business imperative. In that context, traditional compliance monitoring methods are starting to show their limits and more and more companies are implementing efficient EHS Management Information Systems.
NAEM has examined a diverse group of global companies' practices regarding EHS MIS implementation and management and will exclusively disclose the results in this webinar.
Micheal Mahanna, Program Manager, NAEM
, will provide some feedbacks on the NAEM'S 2011 EHS MIS Conference.
Jake White, IT Project Director, AECOM
will provide exclusive results from NAEM's 2011 EHS MIS Survey and discuss the evolution of the EHS enterprise management systems within global companies.
Jeff Nobles, Senior Solutions Engineer, Enablon
, will discuss the various data collection, calculation, and management challenges related to emerging EHS and Air Quality regulations as well as other market drivers.
During this complementary webinar, you'll learn:
How leading companies are using EHS MIS to address EHS & Sustainability related challenges
What EHS MIS are currently used and what is their effectiveness
What information is being tracked and what is being requested by management
What are the upcoming trends and where will companies invest their EHS funds in 2011
This webinar will include live solutions presentations highlighting each key trends and will be followed by a short Q&A session.
Who should attend?
Professionals with senior-level responsibilities for strategy, sustainability, and energy management.

EHS has become so critical and complex for organizations that you cannot have a traditional approach anymore. It is really key to be able to leverage third party data content into the solution. When talking about EHS Management Solutions, companies don't just look at software anymore, they're looking at software, content and services to achieve better results.

How to Select
How to select LED Recessed Lighting
Of all the directional lighting sources, LED recessed light fixtures are the best option to install in residential and commercial buildings and constructions. This guide will help you pay attention to the most important factors and thus choose the perfect lighting devices among the variety of choices.
First of all, select the size and type of fixture that will comply with installation and energy requirements of your building. The size can be known from the old lamps or by measuring the housings in the walls and ceiling. Selecting a type, however, requires more effort from your part. The modern LED recessed lighting fixtures are presented with dedicated and non-dedicated types. A dedicated appliance has space for a single lamp. Other types can hold several lamp types and are more convenient for more complicated installations.
Installation requirements are the next factor to consider. LED recessed lighting can be installed in three ways: enclosed, semi-ventilated and open air. Enclosed type doesn't deliver any heat when the lamp is working so it can be mounted directly to the ceiling or other installation surface. Open air installation means a free space should be present between the light fixture and the surface where it is mounted. Finally, semi-ventilated type requires limited ventilation space near the fixture. Before you proceed any further, carefully check that the LED lighting device you select complies with the installation requirements. This information can be found in the lamp's description.
Operating cost is yet other important detail to consider. It is well known that LED lights have longer life and use less energy while providing the same features as conventional lighting equipment. Regardless of this, you need to specify the lighting level, color and distribution you need before you choose any fixtures. This will help you calculate the operation cost and know how much money you will spend on electricity bills.
After considering all of the factors from above, most customers stop and proceed to checkout. However, you still need to make sure that the kind of LED recessed lighting you have selected is reliable and most importantly, available. If a light bulb that comes with the kit cannot be found in the nearest hardware store, you will have a hard time searching for its replacement when the time comes. The reliability of a lighting fixture can be known by the warranty that is or is not offered with the device. After these last factors are considered, you will select the right option.

Sporer Report
Evaluating Early-Season Outliers
We are about to hit a big date in the fantasy baseball world: May 15. While it doesn't carry any inherent significance on the calendar (unless you're John Smoltz, George Brett, Josh Beckett, Justin Morneau, Michael Brantley, Brian Dozier, or Brandon Barnes; happy birthday, gents!), it is another mile marker on the fantasy landscape, as many see it as a point beyond which they should begin addressing needs and making serious moves with their ballclubs. With the general chorus of advice being that you should be patient with the players you drafted, there are a handful of these early mile markers at which fantasy managers feel they have been patient enough based on their perception of what it means.
The first is usually Tax Day, April 15. Yes, two weeks is long enough for some, and then it's time to get in there and start rearranging the puzzle pieces. For others, May 1 is a big day. Essentially a sixth of the season has passed, we've flipped the calendar, and now trading large chunks of your original squad doesn't seem like such a panic move. The other two biggies are May 15 and Memorial Day (or June 1, but those are close enough that we can lump 'em together). Not only are these markers used for deciding whether or not you should make that big eight-player deal with Fred from accounting, but the fantasy community also uses these dates to start judging the legitimacy of performances.
Whether they are going by gut and just saying that mid-May is an adequate sample for them to pass judgment, or if they are more scientific about it and adhere to Russell Carleton's excellent work on sample sizes, even the most patient fantasy managers are ready to start believing in hot starts or freaking out about cold ones. With that, I'd like to dive into the performances of two surprise standout pitchers who have burst onto the fantasy landscape so far in 2013 and see whether or not we have something worth believing in or merely a flash in the pan.
Travis Wood, CHC (2.03 ERA, 0.90 WHIP in 53 1/3 innings)
After another brilliant start on Monday night, Wood now has a quality start in all eight of his tries having allowed more than two runs just once (in 7 2/3 against the Padres). His component numbers haven't been terribly special with a 17.7 percent strikeout rate and 8.4 percent walk rate, which yield just a 2.1 K:BB. However, Wood does have an 83 percent left-on-base rate and a .186 BABIP so far, both of which exceed league-average rates by leaps and bounds. Now, one of my least favorite things on the fantasy baseball landscape of analysis is when someone simply looks at these two rates, sees that they are much better than or much worse than league average and instantly suggests that the pitcher has been lucky or unlucky. It's as annoying as it is lazy, and it doesn't do anyone a single bit of good.
Yes, Wood is living outside of the norms, but he also has components within his profile that give an idea as to why he has been able to eclipse the average by such a wide margin. With regard to his BABIP, you should first look at the pitcher's batted-ball profile before assigning gobs of luck or handfuls of misfortune. In the case of Wood, his .244 BABIP from 2012 was a bit depressed by the fact that he allowed a ton of home runs, which don't count against the metric. In 2013, his homers are way down, his line-drive rate is down by seven percent, and his 45 percent fly-ball rate includes a hefty 15 percent infield-fly-ball rate. Line drives are mostly likely to turn into hits, whereas infield fliers are the least likely batted balls to become a hits.

I have a hard time believing that guys squaring a pitcher up at a 25% clip is simply bad luck, especially when they don't have particularly impressive stuff like Locke. I feel like we've gotten away from the "pitchers have no control over their batted ball profile" notion in recent years as we've seen guys continually exert force on it whether via heavy GB rates or heavy FB rates (specifically heavy IFFB rates).
May 14, 2013 11:28 AM
I think the evidence on GB% and FB% is pretty solid; guys consistently have a bigger percentage of one or the other. I wonder if LD% looks more random (it does from the stats) because there is more of a subjective element to what is a line drive and what isn't. That could add to randomization---some guys might have a higher LD% if their official scorer terms higher things line drives instead of fly balls when they are not particularly likely to be hits.

On top of being a breadwinner and disciplinarian, your dad did a lot of other stuff for you that you never really took the time to acknowledge. He taught you how to shave, threw you your first football, cheered for you at all your Little League games and took your side every time your mom went batshit crazy on you. He might have even bailed you out of jail once or twice (wow, you really owe him then) and taught you about the birds and the bees (that one could actually be a cause for resentment). Now is your chance to thank him for molding you into the great, possibly screwed up, person you are today. Father's Day is just around the corner so get him one of these unique and utilitarian gifts and let him know that you're grateful for everything he's done for you. You definitely don't want your only gift to him to be his grey hairs. And don't forget to pick up the phone and give him a freakin' call already.

Business Taxes
Attention New Businesses!
You must secure your Certificate of Occupancy (or Home Occupation Permit for home-based businesses) from the Zoning Office and register your business trade name with the office of the Commissioner of Revenue prior to securing your new business license. For additional information for new businesses in Arlington County, go to the New Business Information link of this website.
Chapter 11, Arlington County Code
The Commissioner of Revenue licenses and assesses a business privilege tax on every business in Arlington, including home-based businesses. Businesses must submit a business license application by March 1st of each year. All businesses, except those applying for a business license for the first time, are strongly encouraged to FILE AND PAY ONLINE .
Business license taxes are usually based on a business's previous year's gross receipts.
Although there are other special situations where flat fees apply, such as for peddlers, itinerant vendors, and beer and wine wholesalers, the reporting basis for most taxpayers is the previous year's gross receipts for each business.
What is different for 2009?
• Everyone will have a new account number. During 2009, if you enter the old account number, the system will automatically convert it to the new one.
• All activities conducted by a business at one location will receive one Business License Renewal Application that includes all of those activities.
• Businesses having more than one (1) location, even though under the same ownership, will receive a separate Business License Renewal Application for each location.
• As a result of the above changes, each Business License Renewal Application will be unique. If you lose or do not receive your Application, you will not be able to download a new form from our website. Instead, you will need to either file online or call our office at 703-228-3060 to request a new form.
Please call the Business Tax Division at 703-228-3060 with any questions you have about this tax.
Chapter 27, Arlington County Code
Arlington County levies a tax on all business tangible personal property located in Arlington on January 1 and used in a trade or business. This includes such items as furniture, fixtures, machinery, tools and programmable computer equipment. Businesses must itemize personal property and/or equipment, giving its date of acquisition and original purchase price.
A Business Tangible Tax Return must be filed by May 1 each year; your tax bill will be mailed to you in August and, beginning in 2010, payment is due by September 5.
For the first time, in tax year 2010, your Business Tangible Personal Property tax may be filed and paid ONLINE.
Business tangible personal property tax is not prorated should you cease business during the calendar year.
Property is assessed on a sliding percentage scale of its original capitalized cost, depending on its age. The current tax rate is $5.00 per $100 of assessed value.
The schedule for assessing business tangible personal property, other than programmable computer equipment, is 80% for the first year, decreasing at a rate of 10% a year until it reaches 20% in the seventh year. The rate remains at 20% for the remaining years the property is in service.
Programmable computer equipment is assessed on an accelerated schedule: 65% in the first year, 45% in the second year, 30% in the third year, and 10% in the fourth and subsequent years.
Please call the Business Tax Division at 703-228-3060 with any questions about this tax.
The Commissioner of Revenue Business Tax Division is also responsible for auditing and enforcement. The goal of these activities is to ensure that business taxes are being assessed in a fair and uniform manner.
The business tax staff "desk-audits" all business license tax applications for several factors, including verifying mathematical calculations, reviewing classifications and examining marked changes in gross receipts from one reporting year to another.
The business tax audit staff also conducts in-depth field audits of selected accounts to ensure that businesses are reporting their gross receipts properly and have the proper tax rate classification.
The business tax inspectors and audit staff review each business tangible personal property return, verifying calculations, comparing it to previous years' assessments and examining equipment lists. In-depth audits ensure uniform compliance among Arlington businesses, e.g., that all businesses report their owned equipment and leased equipment in the same manner.
Custodial Taxes
Chapter 64, Arlington County Code
Certain rental businesses, such as video rental stores, are eligible for special treatment that exempts their rental property from business tangible property taxation and assigns them a low business license tax rate. These businesses collect a 1% pass-through tax on all short-term rental receipts.
The Application for Certification as a Short-Term Rental Business (262.5K PDF format) is due annually on or before February 1.
The Short-Term Rental Tax reports are due quarterly on or before the 20th of April, July, October, and January.

Attention: Plex for Mac now plays well with Snow Leopard
It's been some time since I've written about Plex, the Mac-specific fork of XBMC that, well, is fantastic. It seems Snow Leopard somewhat borked the application, but the latest release is all fixed up. Have a peach. Read More
iTunes update creates problems for Mac users
Uh oh, sounds like there's some bugs being introduced into the gilded cage that Mac users seem to enjoy so much. People using older versions of Safari are discovering that they can't connect to the store. Turns out that the new version of iTunes is deeply attached to Safari. This is causing problems for users of older versions, and also for users that have pre-release versions of Snow Leopard. Read More

Ars' exhaustive Snow Leopard review
Ever since Ars Technica was eaten by Conde Nast they've broken new ground with their reporting and - eh, who am I kidding. I haven't been to their site in a a few months. However, they have written a 23-page article about Snow Leopard, a feat the boggles the mind and stiffens the clicking finger. Read More
Oh, come on: Snow Leopard doesn't have ZFS
How many of y'all got around to installing Snow Leopard yesterday? I meant to, but then I bought a new hard drive for my old iMac (hey, any discreet graphics card is better than this old MacBook's Intel bologna), so I'll be upgrading everything next week. As if any of you care, I know, but trust me: there's a point. If you did install Snow Leopard, you'll no doubt have noticed this glaring kick in… Read More
Here's a list of applications that are glitchy with Snow Leopard
Head's up to any of y'all looking to upgrade to Snow Leopard this weekend (that's my plan, along with installing Windows 7). It's not exactly a surprise, but some applications may be a little wonky with the new operating system, and this Web site has a list of what's what. Read More
Snow Leopard protects you from two Trojans
It seems that Snow Leopard contains some sort of anti-malware system. But what does it really protect you from? Not much. It seems to scan for only OSX.RSPlug and OSX.Iservice and then only scans files from Safari, Mail, and a few web browsers. Usenet and Bittorrent clients are unaffected. It doesn't even actively scan the Downloads folder. Read More
Yeah, so that $29 Snow Leopard disc works for everyone
Classy, Apple. Tell people running 10.4 that they need to buy the $169 box set when the $29 upgrade will work just fine. That's the Apple philosophy in action, isn't it? As long as you've got an Intel-based Mac, $29 is all you need to get Snow Leopard on your computer. And don't let Apple tell you otherwise. Read More
Snow Leopard's secret power
You're telling me Snow Leopard isn't a major update? Well affix your chapeau to your pate, sir, and go forthwith on a long walk off of a short fjord! The most important feature in Snow Leopard has been revealed and it's a doozy. Read More
Box vs Box: Snow Leopard Standard vs Snow Leopard Server Edition
Apple's been gettin' a good bit of grief for the Snow Leopard box art since it officially went on sale this morning. We're in the "Who cares? We're all going to buy it anyway" boat, but we've gotta admit it: it sort of looks like it was slapped together at the last minute. By a kid. Oh, and he was wearing a blindfold. At least, the standard edition does. Read More
Snow Leopard ships this Friday
The elusive Snow Leopard upgrade for Mac OS X is now officially available for pre-order at the Apple Store. It costs $29 and will ship out this Friday. So after all the hoopla last week about whether or not it'll ship this month or next, the answer is "pretty much this month but maybe by the time it gets to your house it'll be next month." That is all. Please proceed to the… Read More

Snow Leopard will be out soon, no need to freak out
Here's some advice to all of you guys who are trying to keep up-to-date on the latest Snow Leopard news: don't go anywhere near a computer for the next week or so. There were rumors last week that Snow Leopard build 10A432 was slated for gold master, but then you read message board thread after message board there wherein people complain about little glitches here and there. Hardly a sign of Apple… Read More
Preview Review: Snow Leopard (10A432)
We're a few weeks away from the official release of Snow Leopard and I'm here to tell you things are really heating up in the realm of Exchange Support, OpenCL, and being able to click on an icon to make all of its windows appear. Sorry. I'm just a crank. Every time Apple comes out with a new version of OS X I expect bells, whistles, and dancing dogs. This is an incremental upgrade, as we… Read More
Sure looks like the GM build of Snow Leopard has leaked
I do believe the GM build of Snow Leopard, Apple's latest version of Mac OS X, has leaked onto the Internet. The build in question is 10A432. I see it on one popular Web site, but I shan't be downloading. Even I can afford $30! Read More
Go preorder Snow Leopard on Amazon! Run, you fool!
Everybody's favorite OS X update, Snow Leopard, is hurtling in our direction, and Amazon has either been given the go-ahead to (or just gone ahead and) opened up pre-orders. They have caveats for both date and which update package to get. We're all pretty pumped about the update; the major new features should make OS X better than ever. With Windows 7 right around the corner, I'm thinking both my… Read More
Video: Playing with App Expose in Snow Leopard
Here's a quick look at App Expose in Snow Leopard, a feature I was really looking forward to. It's quite cool and works like a treat in the latest update. There are also a few improvements to the contextual menus in the dock but this is the only major UI improvement I saw. Sorry for the sound quality. I was trying something new. But the most important stuff is there. Read More
Buy a Mac on or after June 8, get Snow Leopard for $10
Seeing as though Snow Leopard is only $29, this just-announced $9.95 update program doesn't have quite the same impact that it might otherwise have. Still! The deal is that if you buy a Mac on or after June 8, Apple will send you a Snow Leopard DVD when the operating system comes out this fall. Read More

GreatSchools Rating
ECMS is a wonderful school. My daughter has met many wonderful friends that live in the neighborhood. The great thing about this school is that both Elbridge and Equestrian feed into this school so my daughter has kept her old friends from Elem and met the Equestrian kids, too. The school is challenging her every day. I love their strict homework policy that holds my daughter to the highest level of responsibility. I love that the teachers are clear on their expectations of success and the Principal, Dr. Lucas backs the teachers on these high expectations. My daughter is receiving the highest level of academics at ECMS and I am proud to say we are an ECMS Family!
Im in 8th grade and I hate this school. I rather be homeschooled, I told the guidance counselor I dont feel comfortable in a class and the teacher is absolutely rude ( I basically get bullied by the teacher ) and all guidance counselor does is say you will get through it. They don't help at all. If it wasnt for couple more months of school, I would of been homeschooled. A teacher I have is absolutely rude and picks on me even the whole class knows and they won't put me out. I can't wait to go to highschool so I can get out if this nightmare. I would not refer this school to anybody.
My daughter was bullied for the majority of the year last year. I went in to the school on numerous occasions. The counselor informed me that things would be done. The bullying continued. I went in again. They told me I needed to calm down. My daughter is seeing a psychiatrist because of this bullying. The girls are still saying nasty comments to my daughter and bullying her. I have been homeschooling my daughter for the beginning of 8th grade; however, she wants to go back to school because she misses her friends. I am debating to send her back to this school because the bullies are still there. Where is the justice? I think those bullies should have been punished or expelled from the school.
This is my last year in ECMS. The education is really good, they have highschool courses so if your more advance you can take it. They have virtual class. Some teachers are really rude and they pick your elective but overall its an okay school.
Well, I must say my son attended this school and he was never the same. Although the teachers in the core classes were excellent, the school itself had big problems. First, the policy of a zero or 50% for missed homework is terrible. It is inconsistent and it promotes a feeling of failure for the kids. - to fail kids for missed homework is counterproductive. A policy to promote learning should be used--maybe assign double homework if missed.. Second, there is no real partnership or attempt at partnership with parents. There is no strict rules on upgrading edline, and many teachers don't even post homework.. For these kids, it's all new to have 7 classes, and 7 teachers, and keep an agenda etc. but there is little support. Second, PE is a disaster at this school. I recommend everyone to opt out of PE. It's a Mess with 60 plus kids with sometimes much more from all grades combined. Half the kids sit around because they can't even participate since there are too many kids. The kids at this school are rude to teachers to a shocking degree. The policy of no uniforms is a bad one for this age group as it promotes bully issues. Overall great teachers,but bad atmosphere
It is amazing how a few parents who have problem kids and have to deal with administration give this school a bad name. From my personal experience I have had nothing but positive experiences with the school. They have always called me back and have the best interest of the children of the school as their top priority! Stop bashing administration just because you child gets in trouble!
ECMS was a very good school, but this new year is seeing it start to fall apart. Electives are forced upon you, lunch is a mess, and the car line is disorganized. 6th graders mixed in with 8th in the same classes, and broken school properties. As a student who has been here 2 years, I can honestly say this.
I love this school, as a person with experience, i would love to go to this school!
I find it hard to believe such a horrible school could exist in Wellington!! The entire school needs to be revamped!!
My child was extremely happy at ECMS. Her Grades were always high and her teachers were always there to help.
i love this school i go to it and its awesome music plays between classes lots of fun!!!!!!!!
i started ecms since 6th grade and the best teaches are mrs lawry for 6 period and mrs mophesis for 1st they where awsome.
i go to this school its ok but mr. lamisky is the best teacher ever! fyi he teachs 6 & 7 grade history! go mr. l
I can't you what a relief it was to find out that this school offered a week long pirate camp for incoming 6th graders. My son went from knowing no one, to making a ton of new friends. As well as getting to know the wonderful caring faculty. Kudos to Ms. Leathermen who headed up this week( one of the guidance counselors, who volunteered). I can't wait for daughter to come summer of 2009. Did i mention it was free.....
I go to school at emerald cove and this is my 2nd year now, honelsy the teachers are great and it is a great school they have adv. And honner classes and give you choices for high school. I have a lot of friends and people are very nice there *if you get student aide as your elective make sure you get mrs.Payne she's the best you'll lov her!
my child is in 7th grade and he loves the school.He also loves that they offer high school courses
this school needs to have less homework and more social events because the students hardly get any.like the events all cost money which doesnt allow everyone to attend.
I went to emerald cove and I personally love it there. It was Fun and the teachers are awesome. I have to admit the homework late thing was a little tough but some teachers made exceptions and it was to teach us responsibility. I Loved my year there. I <3 Mrs. Riga
my son attends this school and the facility is well maintained, the staff is very helpful and my son enjoys his classes, the work is well paced and not overly aggressive.
the school is real nice ,, new ,,,, but they are not that parent friendly and are real strict wtih the kids and homework giving f's if they left it home and 1/2 credit for handing in the next day,,,hard to reach principal,,,alot of children have issues with disruptive students in the classroom and supposely teachers do not have a strong enough handle on the kids and it takes away time and teaching for the students who are there and want to learn...

Near Tucson, Arizona
During the 15th century, the Spanish Empire laid claim to most of North America calling it the Viceroyalty of New Spain. Explorations of the new territories were funded, and missions were established. A myth materialized by word of mouth about the existence of "The Seven golden cities of cbola."
The myth is based on an event from a time in the 11th century when Muslims conquered the city of Mrida in Spain. Supposedly, seven priests fled the city taking sacred religious relics to a faraway land and established the cities of cbola and Quivira. For centuries, the location of those cities was unknown.
In 1539, a man named Fray Marcos de Niza crossed into Arizona and became the first European to explore the territory west of the rockies. A monument can be found at the border- crossing town of Lochiel, Arizona, recording April 12 as that day in history.
De Niza discovered the Zuni people living in seven cities throughout territories now in the states of Arizona and New Mexico. The Zuni are believed to be descendants of the Anasazi cliff dwellers. Whether or not they lived a peaceful life prior to de Niza's visit, there would be nothing but trouble to follow.
De Niza was not allowed into the cities. He observed them from a distance and imagined they were hiding many treasures. His claims developed into rumors that the Seven cities of cbola had been found and were filled with riches beyond anything ever known. Other explorers, eager to claim the treasures, ventured into The territory. Some never returned, and others who did return embellished the stories that great wealth was there to conquer.
Those stories evolved into the myth of the Seven golden cities of cbola.
In anticipation of claiming the treasures protected by the Seven cities, another explorer named Coronado assembled an army. He conquered the Zunis and was soon in control of the Seven cities but found no treasures. The myth was dispelled and de Niza was dishonored for his false claims.
The Spanish Empire retained control of territories in North America until the 18th century when its dominance began to crumble. Mexico declared its independence in 1821, and the United States took the rest of the Empire's claims in North America in 1898 as a result of the Spanish-American War.
The crossing used by de Niza to enter Arizona continued to be a popular trail. During the 1880s, a community consisting of a few hundred people sprung up at the crossing to support mines being worked in the nearby hills. Smelters, boarding houses, saloons, and numerous stores made up the community that eventually became Lochiel, Arizona.
Even the famous outlaw, Pancho Villa, used the crossing. His banditos would cross into Arizona, steal as many cattle as possible, then run back through Lochiel into Mexico. His visits were a tense time for the citizens of Lochiel. Although he might spend money during his visit, he might take back more than he would spend.
Modern-day Lochiel is a ghost town. The area around it is best known for drug smuggling. If you visit the area, mind your own business and do not stop to visit with anyone except those in border-patrol vehicles.
Lone Writer and Happy Jack left Tucson early one Sunday morning to visit the country where Spanish explorers and Pancho Villa spent so much time. Their first stop was the town of Patagonia.
Patagonia is a quiet ranching town. It was founded during the 1880s to serve ranches and mines in the outlying mountains and grasslands. It was the supply point for those who defended what little they had from roaming banditos.
A hitching post still spans the front of the Stage Stop Inn, which is a complex including a motel and restaurant. A boardwalk shadowed by a porch covering the full length of the building could have come right off the pages of a Wild West novel.
