Promises of a freer media environment by the Patriotic Front, which won election in 2011 after a campaign that pledged greater broadcast media freedom and a law promoting access to information, had yet to be fulfilled by late 2013. Journalists operated cautiously lest they fell afoul of thin-skinned authorities, and staff members at state-owned publications risked early retirement or redeployment into bureaucratic jobs for not toeing the party line. At least five journalists faced criminal charges in 2013; all of them had reported critically on the government. The newly established Independent Broadcasting Authority awarded private broadcast licenses, but its independence was questioned when President Michael Sata revoked certain licenses. Of the country's three major newspapers, two were state-controlled and the Post, once highly regarded for its independence, supported the ruling party in 2013, leaving few outlets where journalists could report freely. The government targeted at least three critical websites over the year, forcing one of them to repeatedly move servers--a virtual game of cat-and-mouse.
Zambian authorities cracked down on critical publications in 2013. In an effort to stifle criticism, the government blocked news websites that documented government corruption, and journalists faced a series of charges.
June 2013
|The government blocks access to Zambian Watchdog, a news website that has published critical stories on the ruling Patriotic Front party. Weeks later, the authorities search the homes of two journalists, Thomas Zgambo and Clayson Hamasaka, and briefly detain them, accusing them of being linked to the website. Both journalists are released, but Zgambo is charged with sedition and Hamasaka with possession of obscene material.
A game of cat-and-mouse follows as the Zambian Watchdog moves to another server, but in mid-July authorities block that, too. A third journalist, Wilson Pondamali, is detained, accused of being linked to the site, and is later released. The site moves again, making use of proxies. Late in the year it was still accessible.
The Zambian Watchdog remained blocked inside Zambia in late 2013.
July 2013
|Authorities block access to Zambia Reports, an online publication that has been critical of the government. The staff sends a letter to the government, asking why the site has been blocked, but receives no reply. In August 2013, access to the site is restored.
September 2013
|The government briefly blocks domestic access to the online publication Barotse Post, and the online radio station Radio Barotse in western Zambia, both of which advocate a separate Barotse state. Barotseland separatists argue that at the time of Zambian independence in 1964, they, too, were promised independence, but that successive governments have reneged on this pledge.
Authorities lodged charges against at least seven journalists in 2013, accusing them of, among other charges, failing to register their publication and publishing false information.
Under Zambia's Printed Publications Act, it is an offense to print or publish a newspaper without having first registered the publication. The director of the state-run National Archives must maintain a registry of all newspapers, and anyone who produces any printed matter must deliver a copy to the National Archives. Failure to do so may be punished with a fine.
January 2013
|Freelancer Chanda Chimba is charged with unlawful publishing of two newspapers: Stand Up for Zambia and News of Our Times. Authorities accuse him of not registering the papers with the National Archives. The case is continuing in late 2013.
Also in January, Chimba is charged with defamation in connection with a TV documentary series he produced, Stand Up for Zambia, that criticized Michael Sata in the run-up to the 2011 elections and was shown on the state broadcaster in 2011. Sata and Mutembo Nchito, director of public prosecutions, bring defamation suits against Chimba. The case is continuing in late 2013.
January 2013
|Ngande Mwanajiti, publisher of the private online news site The Zambian, is charged with unlawful production and printing a paper that is not registered with the National Archives. The case is continuing in late 2013.
July 2013
|Authorities accuse two journalists, Thomas Zgambo and Clayson Hamasaka, of being linked to the Zambian Watchdog. Zgambo is charged with sedition, and Hamasaka is charged with possession of obscene material. In late 2013, police added the charge of possession of obscene material against Zgambo. The cases were ongoing in late year.
August 2013
|The government accuses journalist Wilson Pondamali of being linked to the Zambian Watchdog and charges him with various claims of unlawful possession of military stores, attempted escape from lawful custody, malicious damage to government property, and theft of a library book. Pondamali denies the charges. The case is continuing in late 2013.
December 2013
|The police detain Richard Sakala, owner and editor of the Daily Nation, and Simon Mwanza, the production editor, and release them on bail the next day. The journalists are charged with "publication of false information with intent to cause public alarm" in connection with a Daily Nation report that cited concerns about the recruitment process for the Zambian police. The journalists denied the allegations. Their trial is scheduled to begin in early 2014.
CPJ documented at least 16 cases of anti-press violations in 2013, including arrests, assaults, and official harassment.
May 20, 2013
|Kennedy Phiri and Francesca Phiri-Banda, two reporters for Muvi TV, are assaulted by unidentified assailants while interviewing a property owner whose land was invaded and claimed by squatters.
June 15, 2013
|Muvi TV journalist Njenje Chivu is attacked by unidentified assailants while filming clashes between supporters of the ruling Patriotic Front and the opposition United Party for National Development (UNDP) in the capital, Lusaka. His camera is seized, according to a report by media freedom groups.
July 17, 2013
|Patriotic Front supporters storm Radio Mano, a community radio station in northern Zambia, and occupy the station for more than five hours, preventing opposition leaders from participating in a scheduled program, according to the Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA). The Patriotic Front's provincial office apologizes and the interviews are pre-recorded and aired the following day.
July 18, 2013
|A Muvi TV crew, including reporter Dainess Nyirenda and cameraman Annita Kalwani, is attacked by unidentified assailants while covering a land dispute in Lusaka West. Nyirenda, Kalwani and their driver are all injured.
In late September 2013, Emmanuel Mwamba, chairman of the Independent Broadcasting Authority and permanent secretary in the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, announced that nationwide broadcasting licenses were being issued to three private radio stations and one TV station: commercial music station Qfm, the Lusaka-based Radio Phoenix, Christian Voice, and Catholic TV.
One month later, on October 28, President Michael Sata overturned the decision to license Radio Phoenix and Qfm. Forty-eight hours later, Mwamba was officially "retired," according to news reports.
In a cabinet meeting the same day, which was monitored by the Zambian chapter of the Media Institute of Southern Africa, Sata said he had ordered the national licenses revoked because they could compromise Zambia's "integrity," according to news reports. Sata said that some of Radio Phoenix's shares were owned by foreigners and that the station frequently aired views from opposition parties.
A week later, when opposition parties in parliament criticized Mwansa Kapeya, broadcasting minister, for the decision, the official responded by saying that only he could issue licenses--and not Mwamba, according to news reports.
In 2011, one of Sata's election campaign promises was the liberalization of Zambia's airwaves and a law promoting access to information. Halfway through his five-year term as president, neither had been enacted.

Separation anxiety is when a child gets upset when separated from a parent or loved carer. For example, a young child may become distressed when left with a baby sitter, or when put to bed by herself.
Separation anxiety is normal during early childhood.
It usually starts at about six to eight months of age and can last until about two and a half to four years of age. Sometimes it can last longer if the child has had any painful separations in the early years. Separation anxiety reflects the child's attempts to hold on to what is safe in a very scary world, and it will settle down as the child grows older and more confident.
Because very young children don't have an understanding of time and distance, even small separations can be frightening. Some separation times which may be stressful are:
All children have to learn to deal with separations. It is part of learning about life.
If the first separations are managed well, it helps children with the separations they will have to deal with all through their lives.
Sometimes when a child has been separated (eg. in childcare) and has seemed quite happy, his behaviour changes if his mother stays home with him again, eg. she leaves work to have another baby. The child may become clingy and seem to be going backwards.
This is the child's way of working through the separation now that he has you there and feels safe. If he is allowed to cling he will move forward again when he is ready. Pushing children away or expecting them to grow up more quickly than they are ready to doesn't help.
Books for parents and children
There are many books written for children about separation, fears, starting school and other worries. Ask the librarian at your local library, and look in bookshops. Read the book first to see if it suits your child. If you find a book that your child wants to read many times, it may be worth buying the book, so that she can have it whenever she needs it.

Meet RICK & GAYLE PERLMUTTER Authors of "Walt Disney World for Couples"
Meet Rick & Gayle | Books by Rick & Gayle | In the Writers' Corner
This interview appeared in the August 8, 2000 Issue #42 of ALL EARS®
ALL EARS® continues its series: Meet the Authors! These interviews give you an opportunity to get to know the authors of various Disney-related books, as well as ask them questions directly.
This month, ALL EARS®' Meet the Authors series features Rick and Gayle Perlmutter author of WDW for Couples!
For our second interview in the series, ALL EARS® features an in-depth interview with Rick and Gayle Perlmutter, authors of WDW for Couples. Many thanks to everyone who submitted questions!
On behalf of ALL EARS® subscribers, Welcome Rick and Gayle!
Deb: Let's begin with what prompted you to write the guidebook in the first place.
Rick and Gayle: We'll admit to having fallen in love with WDW before we even thought about writing a guide. After we packed our last kid off to college, we started vacationing all around Florida. We hit all the high spots, The Boca, Coconut Grove, beds and breakfasts, and more.
It took us only one visit to WDW to discover that we could have a great resort and terrific food plus all the fun of Disney in one place. All other destinations paled in comparison. We were hooked. Several years later, we accompanied some friends to Disney. These folks didn't think much about WDW but were curious about our fascination with it. After 5 days of fun, relaxation, and romance, one of them said that we should become Disney World guides. A bell went off and we soon had a publisher and a few months to write our book, first titled "Walt Disney World for Lovers."
Corina Drozdowski: My husband and I are going down next month for our 10 year anniversary. Our honeymoon was spent in WDW, and this year we are taking the cruise. I read on the RADP boards and in Deb's website about some couples who have had extra special "happenings" Disney style for their honeymoon. Do you have any tips on how to let Disney make it more memorable for us?
Rick and Gayle: Yes, we love how Team Disney can acknowledge a birthday, an anniversary, or a honeymoon. On past anniversaries, we have enjoyed cards and even small gifts left in our resort rooms as well as such treats as complimentary desserts or appetizers at many of WDW's dining destinations. We have even heard of couples being upgraded to suites or concierge service, although this has never happened to us. But we think it wise to keep in mind that sometimes, often during the busy season or a hectic time, it is possible to slip through the cracks.
So, it's a good thing to keep sending out little reminders that this is your anniversary. When staying at WDW, mention it when you book your room [the reservationist should make a note of it in the computer], again when you check in, and every time you make priority seating arrangements for dining. And when you arrive at the restaurant, we would suggest a gentle reminder [these places get awfully busy!] and perhaps a request for a special table.
This has worked like a charm for us in the past at WDW, but the cruise ship is a place we'll admit we haven't tested. We know that the Cruise Line offers several options for honeymooners but frankly, we weren't impressed by them, especially considering their price tags. We would suggest that you simply try the same thing you would do ashore at Walt Disney World: let everyone know you are on a special anniversary. Mention it to your cabin steward, your dining room wait staff, etc. They will be the same people for the length of your voyage and we'll bet that they'll indulge you a bit.
For romance on the Disney Cruise Line, two things you won't wish to miss aboard ship will be Palo [the adult-only restaurant on the fantail] and the Vista Spa.Reservations for both, while they are part and parcel of a honeymoon cruise package, are difficult to get. You'll do best to split up as soon as you get aboard ship, one of you heading for Guest Services to secure your Palo reservation, the other heading to the spa to make an arrangement for a treatment. We'll tell you that we had the Surial Bath for Two and it was fabulous, romantic (!!), and relaxing. You'll be given your own little "suite" and will cover each other in a variety of mud packs, take a sauna, and generally mess about while you are left alone. If this doesn't get you in the mood for a romantic cruise, you'd better check your pulses.
Jay Angoff: Which hotel would you stay at the Wilderness Lodge, Grand Floridian, or Yacht & Beach. My wife and I are still deciding. We've stayed at WL last two times and the GF is the only hotel I've never stayed at.
Rick and Gayle: We make no secret of our love for the Yacht and Beach Clubs. For us, they are perfectly located [near Epcot, many outstanding restaurants, the BoardWalk, and the Studios] and we love the New England ambiance as well as Disney's best pool and the wonderful Beaches and Cream soda shop. We have stayed at these resorts more than at any other at Walt Disney World and would probably continue to do so if left to our own devices [however, we simply have to check out all the resorts].
If you've never stayed at the Grand Floridian, it is a wonderful experience and its convenience to the Magic Kingdom is hard to beat. However, the lodge buildings are not particularly convenient to any other of Disney's attractions and you'll find yourselves spending a lot of time on buses.
For the price of a GF room, you could stay in Yacht Club concierge and discover a whole new level of luxury and service. Of course, there is nothing on property to rival the service [or price] of GF's Royal Palm Concierge Level and if you can afford it, you'll never forget your stay there. We still gush about ours.
After half a dozen stays at Wilderness Lodge, we still find it exciting but you've stayed there twice already. Time to try something different. We must tell you that each of Disney's Resorts has something unique to offer and trying them all is a worthy project.
Kelly Benson: My husband and I are going to be at WDW over Thanksgiving week. What restaurant would you recommend for a quiet (at least for WDW) yet festive meal on Thanksgiving Day? We're on the Deluxe Plan, so any restaurant but Victoria and Albert's is fair game.
Rick and Gayle: Kelly, we think that Cítricos is the quietest restaurant at Disney as well as one of the most charming and romantic. However, while the food and wine there are memorable, you're not likely to find a traditional Thanksgiving meal at Cítricos. Artist Point [also reasonably quiet], however, usually offers a Thanksgiving turkey dinner with all the accompaniments. This restaurant is one of our favorites, especially since Chef Anette Grecchi has taken over the kitchen there. We should add that we've never tried the Thanksgiving dinner there.
Other good, non-traditional choices would be the back room at the Flying Fish [not really quiet but festive] and the Yachtsman Steakhouse.
J. Tocker: We will be in WDW with our 3 children, 18, 14, and 10 years old, and I would like to know where in the parks DH and I can go for a romantic dinner while the children are safely on their own nearby.
Rick and Gayle: Romantic, in-the-park dining, choices are limited, as most in-park eating places simply have to cater to such large numbers of guests. Our choice for the Studios would be the Brown Derby, especially around park closing time.
At Epcot, we particularly enjoy Restaurant Marrakesh and Bistro de Paris. The atmosphere in Mexico at the San Angel Inn is wonderful but we have yet to have a great meal there.
If you are interested in trying something more unusual, you might check out Disney smallest restaurant, Tempura Kiku, in Japan. Small, even personal, the drawback here is its counter seating.
At the Magic Kingdom, we would suggest Cinderella's Royal Table. Not quiet, but Charming [apologies to the Prince] and the food has improved in recent years.
Unfortunately, the Animal Kingdom does not yet offer a restaurant that we would consider romantic, although you can find pleasant and often quiet seating areas outside behind Tusker's and on a distant patio at Flame Tree Barbecue. There's not much romantic about eating counter service food, though.
Rich Pearlstein: My wife and I have had the great pleasure of dining with the Perlmutters. We find their tastes and ours quite compatible. We also appreciate their connoisseurs view on dining in the Real World, and value their opinions highly. Rick and Gayle, what is your favorite all-around fine dining experience at WDW. Ours continues to be the California Grill, for its consistently excellent food, innovative cuisine, and Cliff Pleau's graciousness. What other restaurant should someone consider if they have only one night at WDW and want a fine dining experience?
Rick and Gayle: Hi Rich! Great to hear from you! Yes, the Grill is still number one in our book, so to speak. Wherever we may be dining, we find ourselves comparing it to the California Grill. And we must tell you, few places measure up. Not only are Cliff's creations original and cutting edge, but they are simply delicious. We love the food at the California Grill and it has no equal at Disney.
Also, the Grill's wine list is extraordinary and their policy of serving single glasses from any bottle makes tasting high-priced [and hard-to-find] wines a possibility. Some other of our Disney dining favorites include the Flying Fish [still dependably great after all these years], Cítricos, Artist Point, Yachtsman Steakhouse, and of course, Victoria and Albert's. Disney's come a long way from hot dogs and burgers and we've savored every calorie.
Faith Zeichner: I have already purchased your latest book Walt Disney World for Couples 2000-2001 because my fiancé and I will be going on our honeymoon to Walt Disney World in September, 2001 and would like to make it as romantic as possible.
We are contemplating on where to stay without going broke. We want to stay near the Magic Kingdom as that is our favorite park. I was thinking maybe the Contemporary Resort because it isn't terribly expensive and it's extremely close to the Magic Kingdom. My only worry is that I hear that the rooms in the tower are very noisy. Are there any rooms in the tower that are not quite as noisy? Are the garden wing rooms inconvenient and unattractive? Where do you suggest we stay?
Rick and Gayle: Faith, we agree that the Disney Resorts have really gotten expensive in recent years. $200 or $300 a night resort rooms can decimate nearly any budget. But we think you're on the right track with the Contemporary.
For your honeymoon, you will want to opt for something luxurious. In all our stays there, we've always found the rooms on the upper floors to be as quiet as resort rooms almost anywhere. Lake-side, park-side: it seems to make no difference unless you're out on your balcony watching fireworks. Make no mistake about it though, overall the Contemporary is quite noisy but mostly in the hallways, around the pool, and down on the Grand Concourse deck.
As for the garden wings, they have enjoyed a recent and stylish refurbishing but the rooms are "way out there." Quiet yes, but for Disney, unexciting and motel-like. We would suggest that you get yourselves a tower room [on the park side, so you can watch the fireworks or on the lake side so you can watch the Electric Water Pageant] on the highest floor available, close the door, and forget the rest of the world.
Since you are planning to honeymoon in September, which is value season, you might actually find a real bargain at the Polynesian.
We love this resort and find it quite romantic as long as you don't have a room by the pool. We would suggest that you go ahead and book the Contemporary and then as time passes, keep trying to find a bargain at the Poly. You can always get your Contemporary deposit back. Don't forget to have your reservationist make a note in the computer that it will be your honeymoon!
Marcia Reilly: Is Disney planning to open a hotel just for adults? My husband and I recently went to Disney "alone", and would have liked to have had a hotel with adults only! It would be great to have a hotel with a very "romantic" theme!
Rick and Gayle: Marcia, the WDW rumor mill really churns out a lot of intriguing and often amusing stuff. This, we know, is largely because the Imagineers always seem to have several dozen projects under development, most of which come to nothing.
We heard once that Team Disney was considering a honeymoon resort on Discovery Island. Of course, that sounded great to us but a few months later, we heard that they were then planning a group camping area. More recently we heard that Disney was in talks with the creators of the computer game "Myst" and were thinking of an island "Myst Themepark."
Anyway [and to answer your question], we don't expect Disney to create an adults-only resort, as much as we'd love one. It just isn't a likely venue for this family-oriented company. If you are looking for places to stay where you won't find kids, WDW just isn't it. The closest thing at WDW is the Clarendon Level [for honeymooners etc.] at the Grand Floridian. It is part of Royal Palm Concierge so you would still see those little people when you visited the lounge area for treats but the honeymoon rooms there enjoy a real seclusion.
Deb: Rick and Gayle, I understand you have previewed the Animal Kingdom Lodge. What can you share about it?
Rick and Gayle: As soon as Disney announced the Animal Kingdom, we were sure that a resort would be created to provide an experience along the lines Kenya's fabulous "Treetops." We have been waiting ever since and were overjoyed when we were offered a tour of the now under-construction Animal Kingdom Lodge. We could write pages about what we saw [in fact, we did and it can be found at Themeparks.com ] but we'll tell you that for theming, this place will be beyond anything Team Disney has yet attempted.
The resort is surrounded by 3 wild animal savannas, each with its own array of beasts and birds. There is a walk out to an overlook, right in the middle of the resort. The lobby building is large enough to feature a suspension bridge and detailed down to Zulu-shield chandeliers. Its far end is a wall of glass, looking out onto the central savanna.
Here you will find the resorts interesting mix of restaurants and shops. Rooms will feature African décor, complete with individually hand-carved furnishings. From cast member costumes to cuisine, this place is going to be Memorable.
It sounds to us that most rooms with views of the animals will be around the same price point as the Yacht and Beach Clubs, with the best views reaching into the Grand Floridian price range. We understand that the top-floor Presidential Suite will feature a patio overlooking the central savanna. It must be nice to be the King!
Deb: What is your favorite thing to do at WDW?
Rick and Gayle: It never ceases to surprise us how excited we still manage to get when it comes to going to Walt Disney World. Keep in mind that we spend some 30 or more days there each year.
Our favorite "thing" to do is more our way to do it: we like to stroll about with no real agenda, without rushing to see or to do anything in particular. We are free to drop in at attractions that well, attract us, graze at restaurants that sound [or smell] inviting, and in general, enjoy The World without any of the hurry that usually accompanies a Disney vacation [or one of our more usual, business-oriented days].
Deb: What suggestions do you have for folks on a budget who want to have a romantic weekend at WDW?
Rick and Gayle: For visiting WDW on a budget, we always suggest going during Value Season. Plan as far in advance as you are able to and ask your reservationist about any special resort deals. Be persistent. If you have an annual passport, you should be able to get a good resort rate. If you are a Disney regular, having just one of these should pay for itself in resort discounts every time you go.
For a week-end visit, get a one-day, one-park pass. Spend an evening at Downtown Disney and another day at one of the water parks. Also, spend some time together at your resort enjoying the privacy of your own room, if you know what we mean. Stroll the BoardWalk, take a free dance lesson at Atlantic Dance, and enjoy walking around and ignoring the urge to see everything.
As for budget dining tips, we share. At all but a few WDW restaurants, a couple of appetizers and a single entrée and dessert will provide enough food for two. And surprise! You won't feel as though you've swallowed Lake Buena Vista. Later in the evening, you might even enjoy a small treat.We also "graze." We'll enjoy a small offering at 3 or 4 different restaurants during the course of the day. No full meals but instead, some interesting fare, usually something small and exotic. This works very well around Epcot's World Showcase at such places as the Tangerine Café, Lotus Blossom, Tempura Kiku, Yakitori, and others. Just order something small and move along. It's fun, not terribly expensive, and one of our favorite things to do at WDW.
Deb: Do you have any plans for a website?
Rick and Gayle: We talk about this a lot but have seemed on settling for writing for Themeparks.com. Still, it is something we know we should be doing and something we might eventually do. However, building our house in Maine [a project that has now taken nearly 2 years of our lives and is still not finished] seems to leave us with too little time. We would welcome any suggestions.
Deb: What last thoughts would you like to share with everyone?
Rick and Gayle: We'd like everyone to know that our publisher has informed us that our book will be completely redesigned this coming year and that we are already at work rewriting it from top to bottom. It will be completely new.

Prefer to see the vinyl LP?
Recorded throughout 2010 and 2011 by Josh Bach, James Tulczyn and Thomas Mendelovits in various studios and living rooms around Melbourne, Zingers realises the dreams of deep, cosmic production hinted at on earlier Milk Teddy releases (Going to Sri Lanka 7 on Knock Yr Socks Off Records and the Extra Texture cassette on Totem Tapes).
At times recalling Lou Reed, The Feelies and Television Personalities, Zingers runs through the first-wave punk inflections of the title track and the blissful new wave of Suburbs Mystery, while Michael hints at doo-wop and the album's closer Come Around at acid-fried futures. Throughout, the album is filled with anti-confessional songwriting and the soulful, curious and high-reaching playing of Milk Teddys five in-tune members.
Zingers delivers swatches of flange, phase and other secret sonic treats, while Thomass thoughtful, euphoric tenor vocal is pushed to the fore and backed by the bands trademark strains at classic underground guitar pop.

Dont sing with a fake British accent. Dont act like your familys a joke. --Jason Isbell
Wow! Code?
Not open yet though
Now it is "open" but not accepting the code. Ugh.
Still showing "not available in US" as of this morning... this type of thing is dumb/annoying IMO.
When they get their stuff together, does anyone have the code? I never unsubbed from their emails but I haven't been getting any for a while now.
The post you quoted is blank for me. Probably some image host that's blocked i would imagine. Appreciated, but invisible.

When it comes to Christmas songs and albums it's more a case of who hasn't as opposed to who has; offerings have and will continue to pour down the chimney with varying degrees of success from artists and groups both young and old, from the generally respected likes of Low's Christmas via Elvis and Sufjan through to the collective detritus that makes up The Best 40 Christmas Anthems Ever, a collection one imagines contributes directly to the infamously high suicide and murder rates around this time of year. Somewhat terrifyingly Editors' frontman Tom Smith and the former Razorlight drummer Andy Burrows also seem to be coming good with their threat of a Christmas album out later this month; if this fills you with anything like the level of panic that it does me, I will be hunkering down in a bomb shelter with some vodka and The Smiths back catalogue until the frost thaws if you'd like to join.
That said, Emmy the Great and Tim Wheeler's offering has some refreshing and justifiable provenance, albeit whiffing slightly of artistic license; last December the Christmas gods conspired to leave them snowed in and missing flights. After exhausting the board games and whatever other activities new couples turn to, they did what any industrious musical pairing would do and started penning some Christmas tunes, a collection that grew over the coming months to form this particular collection.
A short introductory instrumental kicks things off innocuously enough before a segue into the sounds of a form of Christmas commonly found in shopping malls and bad seasonal TV; sleigh bells chime and infectious drum parts force your head to nod as it fills with stomach churningly saccharine lyrics. It is in fact 'Marshmallow World', the only cover on the album and a song most commonly associated with Phil Spector and Darlene Love. Spector's version manages to pull off what is ultimately an offensively twee song as a result of natural instrumentation and a gutsy and imperfect vocal; it dilutes the molasses. In contrast, the opening track proper to This is Christmas with its clean guitar sounds and glossy production sounds like it could be soundtracking an ad for Comet as young lovers jovially peruse reduced price 32" TVs. The combination of Emmy and Tim's vocals is also a consistent issue throughout the record; partly a result of a seeming refusal to harmonise, but mainly because are both blessed with mellifluous tones that, whilst effective on their own, offer little variation or texture together.
It's not all bad though; 'Christmas Day (I Wish I Was Surfing)' with its frenetic strumming, power chords and instantly hummable chorus recalls early Ash, while 'Home for the Holidays' shows what's possible if the mix that's on offer gels; while still liable to give your dentist nightmares it is a credible Christmas pop song with a beguilingly catchy melody and evocative lyric that captures the feelings of past relationships, missed possibilities, The Christmas Spirit and passing time remarkably eloquently. A light-hearted touch is seen elsewhere when the festive season is analysed from Mrs Claus' perspective '(Don't Call Me) Mrs Christmas', while songs that feature predominantly one vocalist (usually Emmy) such as 'Christmas Moon' prosper as a result.
Ultimately it's difficult not to feel a little Scrooge-like when dismissing a Christmas album, particularly one made by a likeable pair of talented musicians clearly out to have fun over and above creating something that will last through the ages. In the right place I'm sure it would go down well; I'm man enough to admit that I'd probably have a very different take on This is Christmas if reviewing it off the back of the scheduled Bush Hall gig, dosed up on bonhomie and a few pints of eggnog. But I'm not; instead I notice that the album closer featuring Emmy and Tim singing the exact same melody against a simply strummed acoustic guitar doesn't even sound as good as those talented mates so many people seem to have; the ones that tend to pop up and effortlessly rattle off a tune the morning after the night before. Sadly, if Santa wants to get hold of a copy of this Christmas offering he may find himself rooting around in the bargain bins. Bah humbug.

June 5 is Election Day, as you are told when you read the papers or watch TV or check out this, your favorite blog.
But today is Election Day too. Most Californians who vote these days vote by mail, and the first vote-by-mail ballots went out Monday.
Ballots are already being cast. Elections in California are now, as a very practical matter, a month long.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Which is why the greatest political heat won't come in early June in the few days before the election. That heat is now. Campaigns and media have come to recognize this change.
That's why California's major newspapers – who once waited until the day before the official election day to issue their endorsements – have already made their endorsements in major candidate races and ballot initiatives already.
If they were allow too many endorsements to bleed into even mid-May, many people would be reading the endorsements after they had already voted.
But there has still not been enough thinking about how to make better use of this month to make the election system work better, and to encourage participation and civic engagement. If the election is a month long, why open the polls only on one Tuesday at the end?
Why not open polls for a weekend or two during the month-long election period instead, and use Election Day as merely a deadline for casting ballots?
The opportunities and problems presented by our switch to vote-by-mail – as opposed to the secret ballot in the poll booth – also haven't been thought about carefully enough.
Vote-by-mail permits citizens to cast ballots in a time and place of their choosing. Why should that be alone in their home?
If civic engagement and participation are such important goals, why not create ways for people to vote together?
At parties. Or in parades.
This might attract more people, bring people together in conversation, and celebration of their voting rights and their citizenship.
This is not a new idea. In the era before the secret ballot, election day was full of parade and public events tied to the polls. The trick to creating a new participatory public culture about voting is to recover that spirit – while strictly policing any attempt to use intimidation to influence how people might vote.
Certainly, vote-by-mail offers plenty of social opportunities for the era of social networking.

Password - Perk Description for Black Ops 2
Just a little description of each Perk you can have or unlock in Black Ops 2 online playing. I gave you a short list to help you understand whats new with the perks or what you will expect. I also numbered the Perks from the different slots they go in.
1. Black Ops 2 multiplayer perks give you a variety of different enhancements, thus enabling you to customize your classes even further. Unlike in previous Call of Duty games, you can choose a total of 6 perks, but this limits the amount of customization you can do for your class. You can also opt-out and choose no perks from the Black Ops 2 perks list, and instead focus more on equipment and weapon attachments.
2. By default you can choose 3 perks for your class, one from each slot - with Wildcards you can choose one extra perk per slot for a total of 6 perks. Doing so, however, uses all your Wildcards and also takes 3 + 3 + 3 allocation points, which leaves you with only one weapon without attachments and no equipment.
3. Perks in BO2 don't affect your weapons stats; instead you'll have to use attachments to achieve, for example, better accuracy or deeper bullet penetration.
4. There are no Pro Perks in Black Ops II multiplayer.

Going Home
Ruben circulated an e-mail about the Phillies roster that would be going north Sunday for the On-Deck Series with the Pirates on Monday and Tuesday nights. He pointed out it is subject to change.
Worley, Stutes and Contreras are staying in Clearwater to pitch in minor league camp games. Stutes has come down with tender shoulder deemed nothing serious.
The final flight manifest for Sunday's Delta charter won't be determined until the next couple of days. There's a game against the Yankees tonight in Tampa (MLB Network), the last Bright House Field game of the spring Saturday afternoon (Blue Jays) and Sunday's Florida finale in Orlando (Braves). Hopefully no more injuries. Then, always the possibility of acquiring a new player.
We do know extra players, most likely a few from the Lehigh Valley roster, will be heading for the On-Deck Series.
Two busses will leave Clearwater at 8 Sunday morning. Another bus for wives and office staff, will depart at 1 p.m.
Not only are the Phillies leaving town on Sunday, but so are the top three minor league clubs. Lehigh Valley and Reading are flying. Clearwater's roster has the shortest trip, a walk from the Carpenter Complex clubhouse to the clubhouse at Bright House Field. Lakewood opens in Greensboro so Mickey Morandini's BlueClaws club will be staying until Wednesday.
All teams, Phillies through Lakewood, start their respective seasons on Thursday. Get this, Reading is opening with a doubleheader at home. Phillies open in Pittsburgh (more about openers next week) and have their home opener on April 9 against the new-look Marlins.
MLB Network
Series of 30 clubs in 30 days continues with the Phillies airing tonight at 11 a.m. and again on Saturday at 12 noon.

The 2013 BET Awards Red Carpet: See What Everyone Wore!
The 2013 BET Awards were a big night for music, and an even bigger night for fashion! To kick off the stylish red carpet, the ever-adorable Quvenzhane Wallis paired her frilly printed dress with her trademark puppy purse, while Jordin Sparks, Nicki Minaj, and Gabrielle Union lined the venue in couture offerings. Mariah Carey and Justin Timberlake each took the stage later in the night to give stellar performances, and in preparation for the big event, Sparks went for a spontaneous color change. "I changed my hair last night -- I literally dyed it last night with this color," she told InStyle on her caramel highlights. "I really wanted a change and needed the carpet to push me to do it." That's the spirit! Click the photo to see what everyone else wore, then tell us, which outfit is your favorite?

This chapter describes how to configure security between the Engine and the connectors.
This chapter includes the following topics:
Because the connector interface is a Web service, you can use a Web-based security protocol such as SSL to secure communications between the Engine and a connector. The connector implementation is solely responsible for the security between itself and the PIM server with which it communicates.
After you install BDSS, you can modify its configuration to secure the Web services exposed by both its Hub and connectors by completing the following tasks:
To secure the Web services exposed by Hub components running on Integrated WebLogic Server, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Securing Web Services for Oracle WebLogic Server.
Tip:After you configure BDSS for SSL, first deploy BDSS and then open a Web browser. Enter the HTTPS URLs for the connector Run-Time Library and the Hub Callback Library Web services to verify that they can accept secure requests.
After the Web services are configured to use SSL, you must modify the URLs identifying the Connector Run-Time Library, Hub Callback, and Exchange 2007 Connector to reflect the secure protocol (HTTPS) and secure port, as described in the following steps:
Start JConsole (or any other MBean-compliant application) and then log in.
Navigate to the EngineSettings MBean.
Change the
EngineEndPointURL attribute. Specify
https:// as the protocol and set the port as the SSL port used by Integrated WebLogic Server. For example:
Change the
RuntimeLibraryURL attribute. Specify
https:// as the protocol and the SSL port used by Integrated WebLogic Server. For example:
Navigate to the ServerDomainConfigMBean.
In the
showAllConnectorsForPim operation, specify Exchange 2007 as the
pimServerType parameter value and click showAllConnectorsForPim.
Note the PIM Server Name and Connector Identification values.
In the
updateConnectorForPim operation, for the
pimServerInstance value, specify the value for PIM Server Name obtained in Step 3b. For the
connectorName value, specify the value for Connector Identification obtained in Step 3b. For the URL, enter the HTTPS URL for the Exchange 2007 Connector.
Note:You also perform these steps if you create two Exchange users to test connector domain synchronization, but you specify
BPEL Tasks as the value for the
pimServerType attribute instead of
Exchange 2007.

We're excited to have our intern Melanie on the farm for a couple of weeks.
She comes to us with a passion for farming and good food, and with the benefit of having visited 20 countries over the past two years working on organic farms. She's teaching us more than we're teaching her.
Aside from helping with the summertime work–weeding, harvesting, etc., we've been the beneficiaries of Melanie's amazing cooking skills. She's an artist in the kitchen and her creations are out of this world delicious.
This morning we'll be offering her delicious vegan muffins (coconut and blackberry) at the farmer's market.
Melanie is the sister of the also amazing Farmer Khaiti.
She'll be leaving us next weekend to go spend a week helping our friends at Grace and Main, helping on their urban garden.
We'll be sorry to lose her.

Sector Peeled works on creativity
The market for convenience food is undergoing enormous quality developments. Although variation and convenience are more and more important to consumers, freshness, taste and health are also important factors. Growers and processors can take advantage of this.
Quality requirements
We support them in being creative with our varieties, which are especially selected and developed for the peeled sector. Selection criteria are for instance uniformity, nice yellow flesh colour, extent of enzymatic discolouration and a stable underwater weight; all are essential to achieve a nice and tasteful end product.
When advising and supporting our growers, all aspects are given full attention, be it soil type, resistances, yield, cost price or marketing possibilities. We contribute to our clients' thinking process and in doing so meet the demands of this upcoming sector in a tasteful manner.

We missed you on Sunday
Cate Blanchett won the Critics Award as Best Actress for playing Blanche DuBois in the Sydney Theatre Company's production of A Streetcar Named Desire yesterday. Big surprise. From Sydney to DC to NYC, if you've seen her on stage, you know she practically reinvented the role. As reviewed in the NY Times, it's like seeing Blanche, hearing Blanche, living Blanche for the first time ever. This is what happens when Cate Blanchett becomes a character. Jacek and I were spoiled last month to have attended her penultimate evening performance at BAM during our trip to New York. Yeah. I'll gloat. To see an artist of her calibre in full command of her talent – it was the cultural experience of a lifetime.
And don't you miss her on the carpets?
Cate however prefers life away from Hollywood when she doesn't have to. Which is why we love her. Here she is after accepting the honour yesterday with her husband, showing off a new warmer, more layered hairstyle. Like it?

MLS' TV Problem: Discussing Possible Solutions
With news of the remarkable TV ratings the English Premier League has achieved on ESPN2 this past Saturday morning and Monday afternoon, comes the question again about MLS' TV strategy and viability. Both games which were timed oddly for the US TV audience outdrew every MLS primetime telecast this season on ESPN2 that has not included the expansion Seattle Sounders. This has also come without much advertising: I spoke to a prominent football watcher on Tuesday, who had missed Monday's game because he thought it was on Setanta and he doesn't subscribe to Setanta any longer.
The Monday match between Liverpool and Aston Villa was the most watched EPL match ever on US television. At the same time, MLS is averaging fewer viewers on TV than it did ten years ago. I risk sounding like a broken record in this regard, but the problem is so serious, and something that many fans of MLS (and complicit press that covers MLS) doesn't want to discuss, so it must be once again talked about here. But this time, we seek solutions rather than to just point out the obvious.
First, let's outline the problem:
MLS TV ratings on ESPN 2 are about as bad as a primetime sporting event can possibly be on a mainstream channel. ESPN 2 in fact, has achieved higher average ratings in prime time for such sports as Poker and Bowling in the last year. However, those sports have limited upside potential when compared with Football.
That was the rationale for ESPN paying a rights fee for MLS in 2006 and continuing to place it in prime time on weeknights or Saturdays. However, now with the acquisition of certain EPL and La Liga matches, the Disney networks can promote the sport outside of international windows and tournaments without MLS.
Per a well placed industry source, MLS TV contracts are up for review every two years. After the first review of the eight year, multi million dollar contract between ESPN and MLS, games were dumped from the lucrative Thursday Night time slot, to different nights on the calendar.
MLS' TV ratings continue to struggle despite being in several lucrative television markets. On Fox Soccer Channel, Premier League games averaged three times as many viewers last season as MLS matches even though the MLS games are in primetime and the EPL matches in less than ideal time slots. This year, ESPN is learning early on, what FSC found out last season about the TV ratings of MLS vs the EPL, despite the obvious and natural advantages MLS enjoys.
MLS should have higher TV ratings than the EPL or La Liga. Only the Mexican League should have more viewers on US TV. But despite being a domestic league, which you can actually watch in person as compared to matches taking place a continent away, MLS struggles to hold the attention of fans in markets with team in the league, not to mention the large markets without teams.
The Potential Outcome without Action
MLS is largely enabled by groups of fans that are uncritical when it comes to evaluating the league's progress. Also, many media members feel they cannot criticize MLS for risk of the league suffering or disappearing. For example, last year MLS' TV ratings were terrible, and those who bothered to look knew how badly the league was faring on ESPN2. But unlike other American sports writers, who routinely track Nielson ratings, many US soccer writers ignored the bad news.
In fact, in 2008 when I had editorialized about MLS' poor TV ratings, I was told by multiple fans that my facts were wrong because none of the credible writers had written what I had. Those who wrote me insisted that the TV ratings were much higher, than I claimed. One email even said MLS averaged in excess of 500,000 viewers a night on ESPN2. This person must have lifted the viewership from ESPN's package in the 1999 season.
It was then met with some shock in these same circles when ESPN pulled the plug on Thursday Night MLS. At that point, some mainstream reporters began investigating and writing about MLS' TV ratings.
So, if no action is taken nor if MLS fans and supporting press do not acknowledge the continued failure of the league to garner even semi respectable TV ratings, the league will go the way of several domestic leagues in Asia and Latin America, where there is always a committed core of fans, but the majority of the football loving public breathes, lives and talks foreign club football.
We do not want that to happen here in America.
The Possible Solution
MLS has gotten off course. For every positive, including numerous soccer specific stadiums and expansion into good second tier markets, failures are apparent including media coverage in the top markets, and the inability to keep top American players. At the same time, MLS has dabbled with being a "big league," by exporting high priced, and overage foreign stars.
MLS has to make a decision. Try and be a good American league, keeping the core of the national team player pool at home or be a global player by releasing the purse strings on clubs budgets and spending and allowing individual clubs to promote themselves outside their "assigned" market. (ie. Allow DC United to advertise on billboards in Dallas about Jamie Moreno, or even in South America, for example)
Right now, MLS is neither a good American league as the vast majority of US MNT pool players ply their trade abroad, nor a global player that has allowed clubs to build its own brand. MLS is a tweener league for lack of a better term. It is neither a league committed to developing nor promoting the American player, which would lead to one set of fans embracing it and promoting it, nor a bona-fide big league which would bring in even more fans.
As the interest in football has grown in the United States by leaps and bounds over the past ten years, MLS' overall TV audience has actually shrunk. (Although attendance is way up over 10 years ago) Yet, many around the league and the game in general seem to be in denial about the reality regarding MLS and TV.
MLS officials and supportive fans need to concede that the ratings are nowhere near where they should be at this point in time and work to alleviate the situation. This will require structural changes to MLS as well as potential expansion into more TV friendly markets, as well as an honest effort to make the local team in the New York market as successful as possible.
I'm anxious to hear the ideas of our readers on this very important and under discussed issue.

Determining Particle Finance In Today's Economy
In the financial sector, wealth determines many things. However, taking a step back to determine wealth itself, introduces an interesting notion. Wealth is being created not by making and selling things, although this is still a large part of the economy, but by taking, trading, and managing risk in the financial sector. Because every asset carries some risk, the market creates ways to lay off the risks we don't want or can't bear to an insurance company or by the use of some financial derivatives. The idea of breaking down every risk into smaller and smaller parts was given the name "particle finance," and modem technology is giving us the means to find the most efficient balance between risk and return.
Charles S. Sanford Jr, who coined "particle finance," described it in this way: "Risk management is the process of moving clients closer to their desired risk profiles by helping them shed unwanted risks or acquire new risks that suit their portfolios. At times, this can be done simply by matching a client who wants to shed a risk with one who wants to acquire that risk. More often, it involves unbundling, transforming, and repackaging risks into bundles tailors to fit the particular needs of various clients."
Many of the ways to manage risk turned out to be less than perfect and sometimes gave a false sense of security. The creation of all these new risk-sharing techniques has produced a whole new cottage industry. Hardly any of these derivatives would be possible without the power of the computer.
As economics change, the conventional wisdom often lags far behind reality. Thus, in today's world of rapid change, old maps and concepts of economic development will no longer help us navigate the waters of the new economy. In fact, they may prove to be as misleading as a map drawn by Gastaldi, the official mapmaker f the Venetian Republic, that showed the Strait of Anion, a body of water linking Hudson Bay with the Pacific Ocean-the so-called Northwest Passage.
Gastaldi's map was wrong, as no such body of water exists. Nevertheless, it had a profound effect on accelerating the exploration of the North American continent; one adventurer after another sought the fabled Northwest Passage in an effort to collect the huge prize offered by the British Admiralty.
Strictly speaking, there are no economic maps to the brave new world in which we live today, so we must determine at least its general shape without them. What we do know is that intellectual capital, the driver of the new economy can be leveraged indefinitely. Whereas fixed costs may be high, as in the production of a movie or the writing of a piece of software, the marginal cost of replication approaches zero.

Berlin, Germany, 3 October 2006 – His Highness the Aga Khan, founder and Chairman of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), today commended Viktor Yushchenko, President of the Ukraine, as "a perceptive student of human institutions, an ardent advocate of cultural traditions, and a courageous voice of democratic aspirations.
The Aga Khan was delivering a laudatory address as he presented the Die Quadriga Award to President Yushchenko, this year's "United We Care" recipient, at Berlin's renowned opera house, the Komische Oper. Past recipients of the "United We Care" Prize are called upon each year to present the Award to the new winners.
In 2005, the Aga Khan received the Die Quadriga Prize in recognition of his life's work in helping the poorest regions of the world through the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN). The 25,000 Euro gift which accompanied the Die Quadriga Award was matched by the Aga Khan and allocated towards microfinance projects in Tanzania.
In his laudatory address, the Aga Khan praised President Yushchenko's service to his country especially through the creation of economic institutions necessary for an independent economy, including financial institutions, a new national currency and the Central Bank. He noted that Viktor Yushchenko became an expert in the ways that complex institutions work, "reconciling a pluralism of perspectives with a unity of purpose".
"We all remember how the integrity of democratic processes was threatened, defended and finally vindicated with Mr. Yushchenko's election to the presidency," said the Aga Khan. "The world was watching those events – and drawing inspiration from them, as the words 'Orange Revolution' were entered forever into the global vocabulary of freedom."
The Die Quadriga citation recognised Mr. Yushchenko for his fight for democracy in the Ukraine. The citation stated: "the stirring of hearts for democracy, rule of law and freedom of Press, lighted the way for this hero of the revolution to the position he holds as the first freely elected president in the history of Ukraine".
The Die Quadriga Awards are presented every year on the day of German Unification to honour personalities from the political, economic and cultural fields who have shown a commitment towards vision, courage and responsibility. The Award also recognises individuals who have shown far-sightedness, pragmatism, pioneering-spirit and the power of conviction".
The other Die Quadriga 2006 Award winners were Mr. Shimon Peres, deputy Prime Minister of Israel; Dr. Riccardo Illy, President of the autonomous region of Friuli-Venezia and President of the Assembly of European regions; and the team of Mr. Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck (German screenwriter and film director) and actors Mr. Sebastian Koch and Mr. Ulrich Muhe, for their contribution to the highly acclaimed film, Das Leben der Anderen, about the East German regime.

Notes: His Highness the Aga Khan is the 49th hereditary Imam (spiritual leader) of the Ismaili Muslims and a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). A Harvard graduate in Islamic history, the Aga Khan succeeded his grandfather as Imam of the Ismailis in 1957. He is the Chairman of the Aga Khan Development Network.
The Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) is a group of private, non-denominational development agencies working to empower communities and individuals to improve living conditions and opportunities, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, Central and South Asia, and the Middle East. The Network's nine development agencies focus on social, cultural and economic development for all citizens, regardless of gender, origin or religion. The AKDN's underlying ethic is compassion for the vulnerable in society. Its annual budget for philanthropic activity is in excess of US$ 300 million.
The Aga Khan Agency for Microfinance (AKAM) was established in 2005 and consolidates over 25 years of microfinance activities and programmes previously administered by sister agencies of the AKDN. AKAM commenced microcredit operations in the most marginalised areas of mainland Tanzania last year. The programme offers working capital loans for the establishment and expansion of micro and small retail and commercial enterprises in the urban centres and agriculture loans in the rural areas.

Mystery Monday--- Census Reports and History Books
As I was chatting with a friend, I heard another say," the History book says that he was a farmer and a lay pastor, the census says a Farmer. What am I to believe?"
I will share a story told me by a distant kin of mine in Greene Co PA whom is related to these story people, mentioned here in.
It seems we had a Mr. Gallentin, who was a farmer, he was also a statesmen, and a certain dignitary from Europe had come to see him. Mr. Gallentin, Gallentine was out in the field plowing to prepare to start another crop to grow. The European was flabbergasted, is what the written dialogue says in an antique scrap book.
I also thought when I first started research that the Census records were accurate, after all they were
government records. But as I wrote to family (distant) and read history books and talked with more and more collateral kin I learned that the data put on the census page just may not truly reflect what a person
did in the 1790, 1800, 1820,1830, 1840, & 1850's. It may not reflect what we do today either.
Then the Census changed more information was written more names were shared and many times you could fine the linking families next door following the full families names and occupations.
With inheriting 17 letters written in 1850's to 1880's, I was able to learn even more about some of
my ancestors.
Henry( b1803)Huffman later changed to HOFFMAN was a man of much character. He built bridges, barns, homes, churches, covered bridges and a freestanding spiral staircase.
This man hired the neighbor to come care for his crops and set out to walk to Waynesburg for a court hearing in the early light of a morning. Reaching Waynesburg and learning the court case was canceled, he ate his packed lunch and headed back home getting there about the time the neighbor started to feed the animals for him. This was a man of major character. He lived in the WindyGap, Aleppo area.
This man also had a huge orchard and grew many different fruits but mostly, varieties of apples.
The growing of apples fascinated him and was the reason he had so many types.
These were sold at market to help cover expenses during the winter months, in his notes.
I was blessed with a copy of the write up in the paper about the staircase in a relatives home.
So when I am asked who was Henry Huffman later Hoffman I do not answer what the census said.
Yes, he was a farmer, but farming was necessary to have food and survive, but to build the freestanding
staircase and to build the other buildings he was really an architect of some dimensions.
When family talks about someone, listen to what is being said. As I slowly work through files and
I find more and more relatives were farmers by need and business people, tradesmen and lay ministers
and not mentioned as such in the census.

Ease Of Use
products proven to make life easier for people who have arthritis and other physical limitations
If you have arthritis, performing everyday tasks can be difficult. Help make some of these tasks easier by making sure you select products that meet your specific needs. With more than 100 types of arthritis, it can affect everyone differently, so a product that is easy for one person to use may not be easy for you.
- Be selective. Think about the tasks that are difficult for you on a regular basis and interfere with your independence. Look for products that can make these day-to-day tasks easier.
- Select products with texture. For example, when selecting glassware, drinking glasses with bumpy exteriors are easier to grasp than glasses with smooth exteriors.
- Seek products that require minimal upkeep.
- Select products that are safe to use.
- Purchase lightweight products, especially when it comes to cleaning and kitchen tools. For example, heavy cast-iron pots or ceramic bowls may be difficult to use for someone with arthritis.
- Look for products that are easy to open and close. Avoid products that are difficult to grasp, or require twisting with your fingers to open and close. Instead, look for features such as flip-top caps, zippers and larger, easy-to-open lids.
- Look for items that are comfortable to wear, carry or operate.
- Avoid the bells and whistles. Look for products that are simple and practical, rather than fancy gadgets with intricate pieces.
- Look for products that are not cumbersome to use. Products that can be carried close to your body may alleviate pressure on arms, hands and back.
- Look for the Arthritis Foundation's Ease of Use of Commendation for tested and trusted products.

First off let me say that this is not safe for work,(it's not pornographic or anything, just uses some pretty colorful language!) and you also better put the earmuffs on the children cause it's not safe for them either! This is a piece of comedic genius from writer/comedian/actress Rachel Bloom and gets my vote for the music video of the year!

As being a item from a designer individuals might be willing to consider which Celine Bags is going to be away wealthy on their behalf like the majority of custom purses. Nevertheless, Celine Boston Bags upon the Celine Handbags electric outlet on the internet cos...
Celine outlet reviews mini A guide to Property Depreciation Depreciation is something that will help your bottom line come tax time.
Just like you claim wear and tear on a car purchased for income producing purposes, you can also claim the depreciation of your investment property against your taxable income. Seasoned property investors know all about this one. In fact, some will take depreciation into account before purchasing their next investment. But it's not just for the pros. Anyone who purchases a property for income producing purposes is entitled to depreciate both the items within the building and the cost of the building itself against their accessible income. Seasoned property investorswill take depreciation into account before purchasing their next investment. Every year, thousands of dollars go unclaimed by property investors who are none the wiser. All celine bag nano it usually takes is a qualified quantity surveyor to inspect your home and prepare a report for your celine outlet woodbury jeep accountant. The savings can be substantial. Plant and Equipment refers to items within the building like ovens, dishwashers, carpetandblinds etc. Building Allowance refers to construction costs of the building itself, such as concrete and brickwork. Both these costs can be offset against your assessable income. 2. So how does a depreciation schedule help me Simple. A depreciation schedule will help you pay less tax. The amount the depreciation schedule says you claim effectively reduces your taxable income. A depreciation schedule will help you pay less tax. Depreciation is known as a "non cash deduction" because it's the ONLY deduction that you don't have to pay for on an ongoing basis the deductions are in built within the purchase price of your property. All other deductions, such as interest levies, will hurt your hip pocket on an ongoing basis. 3. Is my property too old to claim depreciation The simple answer is no. If your residential property was built after July 1985 you will be able to claim both celine bags official website Building Allowance and Plant and Equipment. If construction on your property commenced prior to this date, you can only claim depreciation on Plant and Equipment. But it will still be worthwhile. Commercial and industrial properties are subject to varying cut off dates. Here is a chart showing the relevant timelines for differing types of construction. 4. Shouldn't my accountant prepare this report If your residential property was built after 1985 your accountant is not allowed to estimate the construction costs. Tax Ruling 97/25 celine outlet woodbury reports issue by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has identified Quantity Surveyors as properly qualified to make the appropriate estimate of the construction costs, where those costs are unknown. If your residential property was built after 1985 your accountant is not allowed to estimate the construction costs. Real estate agents, Property Managers and Valuersarenot allowed to make this estimate. Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (AIQS), Terry Aulich, advises that whereas accountants can offer advice around other aspects of tax depreciation, construction costs and property depreciation are highly black mini celine bag technical domains in their own right. "Quantity surveyors are specialists in the accurate measurement of construction costs with a view to maximizing a client's financial position in relation to their property assets. Only a fully qualified quantity surveyor brings the appropriate education, experience and training to provide reliable figures upon which to base a property tax depreciation schedule. One doesn't want to rely on best guesses when dealing with the ATO especially when there is professional help available," says Terry. Terry also suggests that clients should check the credentials of anyone claiming to be a quantity surveyor. He recommends that the first question clients should ask their quantity surveyor is whether they are a member of the AIQS, as this gives an assurance that the individual has completed an accredited qualification. 5. Will you need to inspect my property The Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (AIQS) Code of Practice stipulates that site inspections are necessary to satisfy ATO requirements. A trained Quantity Surveyor will ensure all depreciable items are noted and photographed. This guarantees you won't miss out on any deductions. The documentation can then be used as evidence in the event of an audit. The best time to get a Quantity Surveyor to inspect your property is immediately after settlement and hopefully just before the tenant has moved in. 6. My property is renovated. Can I still claim Yes. We will need to know how much you spent on renovations. This is an ATO obligation.
If the previous owner completed the renovations you are STILL entitled to claim depreciation. In either case, where the cost of renovation is unknown, a Quantity Surveyor has been identified by the ATO as appropriately qualified to make that estimation. .

this week has been hard. frustrating. depressing. sad. dumb. stressful. exhausting. i thought at least once every day "i hate today." i would go see a doctor if this lasted...because this is just not like me. but i promise this is the first time this has happened for more than half an hour. it's just a funk.
nothing terrible happened. i promise. just a bunch of pity parties, petty arguments, selfishness, tears (when i start, i can't stop.), homesickness, no motivation, no inspiration, no creativity.
(( wow, kim this looks like it is going to be a fun post! ))
so this favorite things friday thing is a pain in the butt right now, but is probably a bit of therapy for me at the moment. i need to be focusing on the good things. these little things just might get me inspired today.
sidenote: my husband just left the house with guns, a pipe, his machete (?!), a flannel shirt, his headlamp, bible, and journal.
"i've got more ammo than i do clothes"
oh, how different men's retreats are from women's retreats.
1. bunting flags. i made a few strands for a baby shower i'm hosting and i'm about to make some for my farmer's market booth that says "oh, sweet joy." you can't tell me these don't make your heart smile.
2. good breakfast. i've been neglecting my breakfast this week because i ran out of cereal and didn't want to go buy more. can you say lazy? this morning i woke up HUNNNNNGRY..so i made this.
3. my pinking shears. people always recommended these things and i basically said in my head "don't tell me what i need" oh, hey pride. good to see you again.
anywho, bunting flags were taking way.too.stinking.long and i like the "raw" look of ones made with pinking shears. so there we go. i bought them. they save a TON of time. they're fun. and can cut through home decor fabric like nobody's business. athankyou.
4. playing grown up's etsy shop. absolutely brilliant. so fun. i want one. or two.
how fun would they be as props for save the dates, baby or graduation announcements? i think all photographers should have a few as props. just sayin.
5. isaiah 55:12 i encouraged someone with this verse earlier in the week and its been constantly on my mind the last few days. i just love every part of it. the promise of peace. the pardon of the wrath we deserve. God's triumphant grace. the excitement of creation.
You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
6. love146.
every minute, 2 children are sold. SOLD. taken from their families and sold to scumbags.
i'm a bit wordy today, so that means about 4-6 children have been sold into slavery since you started reading this post.
i love what love146 does. i hate that we live in a world where this is so important and necessary. i hate that its even possible for young children to be sexually exploited.
i hate that these kids get their childhood taken from them. they don't get to play hop scotch. no mac n cheese. no playgrounds. no sidewalk chalk. no running around. no bike riding. no laughing and giggling with their friends.
i hate that people don't realize there is still human slavery going on in our world. but you can help. go here for more information on the issue and find out how to help. whether that means donating a percentage of your sales (that's been my conviction & action), buying items from their store for a partial donation but free advertising when you wear them, whatever.
