After 17 years in exile, the original nomads of the theatre world have returned
As the song goes: "Hi-diddle-dee-dee, an actor's life for me." I would guess it was a life like Footsbarn Travelling Theatre's that the singer had in mind. I'm standing in a field in Canterbury, in the centre of a circle of wagons – mobile homes for the actors, crafts-people and crew who staff this 37-year-old company.
There's a big top here, too, where Footsbarn will later be performing A Midsummer Night's Dream. And a little top, where they flog the booze. As for the song's other specifications – "a wax moustache and a beaver coat/ A pony cart and a billy goat" – well, I haven't seen them yet, but they would be quite in keeping.
Footsbarn are back in their native Britain for the first time in 17 years. At the Edinburgh Festival their tent overlooked the city from Calton Hill, and their Dream became one of the Fringe's hot tickets. They have since been touring the UK – pitch tent, perform, dismantle tent, move on – and arrive in London next week. "It's been fantastic," says the artistic director Paddy Hayter, over tea in his caravan. "I think we will come back more. Well, more than we have been doing. Because we haven't been coming back at all."
Footsbarn is made up of exiles, prophets refused honour in their own land, with a higher profile overseas than among compatriots who have largely forgotten them. But, in select circles, Footsbarn enjoy near-legendary status. Founded in Cornwall in 1971, they were the forebears of current folk theatre darlings Kneehigh, who cite their influence. Shakespeare's Globe supremo Dominic Dromgoole, who programmed them on Bankside earlier this year, is another fan. "They are genuinely bananas," he says. "That's why I love them so much."
The troupe was founded by Oliver Foot (nephew of Michael, son of Sir Hugh Foot, aka Lord Caradon) and John Paul Cook, who sought "to make theatre that was accessible to all ages and classes", says Hayter, who joined in 1973.
The company situated itself in a barn on Foot's family farm, from where it launched a series of "original, popular and accessible" theatre events, says Hayter, based on Cornish legends and classical plays. Their style was a grab-bag of European performance practices, circus skills, street theatre and carnival. According to Hayter, little has changed. "We still go on the street, we make every effort to attract audiences," he says. "We did street parades in Edinburgh. It means that people who never come to the theatre still get a bit of the fun."
The only difference is that Footsbarn now parade across the world, not just Cornwall. They left the UK in the early 1980s – a flight that legend credits to Margaret Thatcher's malign impact on the arts, but which Hayter also ascribes to wanderlust. "It was a combination," he says. "We got the desire to travel, plus the fact that we weren't getting the subsidies to make us stay." The plan was to leave on a five-year world tour. "But we never came back," says Hayter. Now based in a farmhouse in the Auvergne region of France, Footsbarn is a multinational company whose personnel hail from 12 countries. Their Dream stars only two British performers alongside those from Indonesia, Japan and France.
But, like their Cornish forebears, these actors are more than just employees. Footsbarn members live together and create theatre collaboratively. There is no leader, though "you need someone who guides it a bit", Hayter admits. "But I hate it when you see the director named, when you see a show referred to as their Hamlet. Our shows are always the work of everybody."
I test the theory on two of his colleagues, the veteran French actors Vincent Gracieux and Muriel Piquart. And while Piquart admits that "sometimes I miss someone outside looking at it [the production] and helping", they agree that Footsbarn's methods yield rich rewards. "You have the freedom to invent," Piquart says. "You work more with the public than with a director, not following specific instructions. The public is giving you the instructions."
"All theatre was like that centuries ago," adds Gracieux.
"The director is a modern invention."
Maybe that is the essence of Footsbarn – theatre as it was years ago. With troubadours, not actors. There is certainly an out-of-time quality to their Midsummer Night's Dream – it's in with playfulness, improvisation, live music and broad humour, and out with the psychological realism of much 21st-century theatre. It is certainly strange to watch two fiftysomething actors (Hayter and Gracieux) in the roles of the youthful lovers Lysander and Demetrius. And I was frustrated by the unintelligible English of the Japanese actress Akemi Yamauchi as Titania. But the show's loveably vintage air, the atmosphere of old-school, unpretentious entertainment, is hard to resist.
It is a feeling inseparable from the sight of that commune of caravans, or from the experience of sitting under canvas. As soon as you enter Footsbarn's world, you are challenged to consider a different way of doing things. "When audiences realise that we live like this, they are very touched," says Piquart. "When they see the caravans and the tent, already they are dépaysés" – meaning de-countried, or moved into another world. Footsbarn's shows, Gracieux says, "create a fundamental relationship between audience and company. We go towards them and they come towards us, and we meet in our space, which is somewhere special."
I think they are right, and I marvel at the sacrifice that the company members make to achieve this. "Sometimes I wonder where I'm from," Hayter says, with a smile. He brought his children up with Footsbarn, educating them in the school that travels with the troupe. "And they're all fine," he says. "I've lived more than 30 years inside the group. I've been very privileged." But it hasn't all been plain sailing. "You have to grit your teeth sometimes," Hayter comments. "It can be tough if it's pouring with rain and you're stuck in the mud, or if there is no money."
Piquart will soon take a break from Footsbarn after a four-year stint. "I need time to change and meet new people," she says. But her departure is not a rejection of the minstrel lifestyle. "Of course, sometimes we miss toilets, sometimes we have no water, no electricity, la la la," she trills. "But that's not a problem. It is a pleasure to know the price of water. To know what electricity is. You realise that in this culture, we have got everything and we don't know the value of things."
I wonder if this return to Britain has taught Hayter the value of a home. The company revisited Cornwall in July, and "the guy at the garage told us 'my dad took me to see you when I was 11'. And for an English person to play Shakespeare in his mother tongue to people that can understand is a great pleasure," says Hayter. But a permanent homecoming isn't going to happen. "I don't think that the theatre world here ever took us seriously," Hayter continues, a little sadly. "We were always considered to be hippies and all that." This actor's life, then, looks destined never to come to a standstill. "The thing about travelling," he says, "is that once you've started, it's very difficult to stop."

JERRY & JEFF - 'Voodoo Medicine Man' / 'Sweet Charity' (Super K SK-7) 1969
This garage bubblegum pounder by Jerry & Jeff a.k.a. Jerry Kasenetz and Jeffrey Katz has become a very sought after disc and regularly sells in the $150 - $200 range and is perhaps the best 45 on the short lived Super K label.
"Voodoo Medicine Man" has got a wonderful Seeds like sound throughout and I'd imagine Sky Saxon would have enjoyed singing this one if he'd had ever heard it, which is doubtful. The compact organ dominates, add into the mix macabre vocals, some primitive drum action and a raunchy guitar.... what a sound they create.... this is an ALL action, hard driving bubblegum assault.

When there is an obstacle at the back of the car, the sonar rear control beeps. However, when on drive and there is an obstacle in front of the car, it does not beep. Also, the sonar rear control light, the farthest right light, continually is flashing. How can I fix these problems?
Hello. It sounds like the sonar system is malfunctioning and you have some sonar system sensors that are not working properly. The sonar system should be diagnosed so that the proper sensor can be replaced. Once the sonar system has been replaced, it may be necessary to have it reprogrammed. Parts for the sonar system would best be found at the dealership and reprogramming the sonar system would need to be completed at the dealer as well.

Chewy Molasses Spice Cookies for Two, indulge your spicy cookie desires small batch style with this simple toaster oven recipe.
(this post contains affiliate links)
The aroma of warm cinnamon, spicy ginger and bold cloves just screams holiday sweater weather.
Second to oatmeal raisin, a soft and chewy molasses cookie is one of my favorites. I relish that old-fashioned rich molasses flavor.
Unfortunately, my flavor appreciation doesn't stop until ALL of the cookies are gone.
And since us molasses cookie lovers are a rarer breed a big batch isn't so easy to unload. Not like double chocolate chip cookies. Blink and those brownie-like cookies disappear.
Related: 17 Cookie Recipes for Your Toaster Oven
Four years ago I stumbled across Michael Pollan's book Food Rules at the library.
I flipped it open intending to skim a few pages. An hour later that simple little book had changed my relationship with food.
One of my favorite rules is #39
Eat all the junk food you want as long as you cook it yourself.
Since Tim and I enjoy cooking and baking, I had to revise it. Our rule ends with…"in small batches each time."
What can I say? We needed a larger hurdle between us and sweet treats.
If you have zero cookie-self-control too then you'll love these Chewy Molasses Spice Cookies for Two.
You get to indulge your spicy cookie desires now and save a cookie for later.
Things Might Get Sticky
The dough will be very soft and even a little sticky. Don't worry this is what leads to a crispy on the edges and soft in the middle chewy cookie.
When using a thinner mild molasses (like Brer Rabbit) refrigerate the dough for at least 15 minutes before rolling and baking.
Cookie Recipe Updates:
- There are directions for using a regular egg or a flax egg.
- Cooking times for 6 medium or 12 mini cookies are included.
- We tweaked the recipe to reduce the oil and add more molasses.
For the best looking (pretty crackle like in the picture below) and best-tasting cookies (IMHO) use blackstrap molasses and brown sugar. Light or dark will work.
Chewy Molasses Spice Cookies for Two
Make 2 giant fall spiced cookies or a small batch of mini cookies.
- 1 teaspoon flax meal and 3 teaspoons water, (or substitute 1 tablespoon beaten egg*)
- 2 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar, (or coconut sugar)
- 5 teaspoons olive oil, (sub melted coconut oil or melted butter)
- 4 teaspoons molasses, (a dark molasses like blackstrap tastes best)
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, (or spelt flour)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- If using a flax egg: mix together flax meal and water in a small bowl, stir well and set aside for at least 5 minutes.
- Preheat your toaster oven to 350F and lightly grease your cookie sheet or line with a small silicone baking mat.
- In a small bowl stir together the sugar, oil and molasses. Whisk in your flax egg or 1 tablespoon beaten egg. Whisk until the mixture is thick and very well combined.
- Stir in flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves and ginger. Mixing until a dough forms.
- Shape dough into two balls (roll in sugar if desired). Place dough on prepared cookie sheet and gently flatten cookies with your hand. Leave at least 2-inches between cookies, the dough will spread during baking.
- Bake for 7 to 9 minutes until the tops have cracked and the edges are set.
- Allow cookies to cool completely on sheet before removing.
*To measure the egg: crack a large egg into a small bowl (use a bowl with a lid to store the leftover egg). Beat the egg with a fork, about 20 to 30 seconds. Measure out 1 tablespoon. Store leftover egg in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
When using a thinner mild molasses refrigerate the dough for at least 15 minutes before rolling and baking.
For a lightly crunchy touch, roll dough in granulated sugar before flattening and baking.
Measure olive oil before molasses. The residual oil will coat the spoon keeping the molasses from sticking.
Bake 6 medium cookies for 6 to 8 minutes. Bake 12 mini cookies for 5 to 7 minutes.

Peninsula Medical School (Faculty of Health)
Member of the Faculty Research Ethics committee,
Poorna, hailing from Kandy, Sri Lanka, practised general medicine, then ophthalmology, before moving to the United Kingdom having been awarded a commonwealth scholarship in 1999. In research, he led an initiative that identified the possible association between maternal rubella infestation and congenital blindness presenting to a tertiary eye hospital, which ultimately led to the introduction of the rubella vaccine to the Expanded Programme of Immunisation in Sri Lanka. He also served as the director of a maternal mortality trial conducted in four centres in Ghana by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, with over 200,000 registered participants. His current research focus is in empowering individuals and communities to have a greater control over their own health.
Poorna has worked with students of multiple disciplines, at various stages of study, ranging from those following ACCESS and BTEC courses in Further Education to postgraduates in diverse centres of Higher Education, which explains his strong commitment to interprofessional education.

He has won multiple awards for inspirational teaching and student support, in his current role as a full-time facilitator of education.
While he absolutely enjoys the privilege of working with some of the brightest minds, Poorna's true passion lies in facilitating the process of self-discovery of the innate potential that lies within each individual. This vision lies at the heart of MegaReach (www.megareach.org) a global volunteering organisation that he founded in early 2015, which has touched the lives of those living in all 5 continents of the world with the simple message of "making a real difference to real people". Poorna is always open to the possibility of collaborating with like-mined individuals and organisations and loves working across boundaries of every nature.

"God is always talking to me when I am in Guatemala."
Why Don't You Ask Me To Help You?
Clean Air, Clean Water, Light. When was the last time you spent an hour or a day without any one of these resources? Many of our friends in Guatemala do...every day. You can help!
Over the years Ismael and Orfe and SewHope groups have educated the people about the need for outdoor stoves and clean water. Many families have started to use them, but other families are not able to afford these simple devices. Will you help?
Each stove (estufa) costs Q320 ($40). Ismael believes that a fair price for the poor is Q100 ($12.50).
Why the stoves? Many cook with indoor fires. This causes harm to the eyes and respiratory systems, and cancers are more likely to develop. Our stoves are portable and can be placed outdoors. The current stoves also use lots of wood while ours require only small amounts. Wood supplies near some villages may be exhausted causing some, including the elderly, to walk great distances to get firewood. Firewood from a local vendor can also be expensive diverting monies from other necessities.
Each water filter costs Q60 and the bucket doubles the cost to Q120 ($15). Ismael believes that a fair price for the poor is Q60. Ismael would pre-assemble the device.
Why the water filters? I do not think that this needs any explanation.
Each solar light costs Q225 ($28). Ismael believes a fair price is Q200 ($25).
Why the lamps? Many have no access to or are not able to afford electricity. Candles or lanterns are used. The children cannot read or do homework in the evening which is likely the only time to study after walking to and from school and then participating in family chores or jobs. Light also reduces security risks for families. These are solar powered lights.
If a family needed all three items, the total cost would be Q665 ($85). We believe that a family would be able to pay Q360 ($45). We at SewHope are seeking are donors to supplement the difference of $40. Are you able to help?
SewHope has 96 stoves, 100 water filters and 92 solar lights on hand making this a $4,000 project.
If you are someone who...
...wants to and is able to help,
...has passion for the environment,
...wants to move the Millennium Development Goals forward,
...needs a project for your school, classroom or club,
...is looking for service in the Thanksgiving or Christmas season,
...just plain wants to help...
Click here. www.sewhope.com It takes you to the Donate section of the SewHope website. In the comment section, please indicate that your donation is to be used for the Air, Water and Light Project in Santa Ana.
Please share this request with your families and friends.

"Formats have replaced the Promise of Performance as one of the main tools by which a radio station's character of service is set and monitored.
Stations are monitored and regulated to a large degree by the spirit of the output rather than using mathematical equations. One of the criticisms of the old Promises was that there were too many percentages involved and, although many Formats do still include percentages, regulation will be carried out using programming principles rather than calculators.
Ofcom is a light-touch regulator and the Format can be regarded as the signpost for a station direction, leaving sensible flexibility for commercial decisions to be taken. We prefer to regulate with ears rather than slide-rules!
Formats are part of a regulatory regime which allows radio stations to move more freely within the boundaries created at the time of licence award, and to feel comfortable making programme changes within those boundaries. For example, Bank Holiday or special event programming changes had, under the Promise of Performance, to receive special sanction. Now, as long as the programming is still aimed at the target audience, such programming is seen as a boon to the listener.
Within the Formats are some phrases such as "full news programme" and "hits from across the years" which we know can be interpreted in different ways by different people. Our interpretation will be shaped by a variety of matters, including the overall performance of the particular station, contact with station management, technical considerations as well as the wording of the station Format.
Formats can be changed by agreement with Ofcom if the changes do not fall foul of the Broadcasting Act 1990. They are in place to ensure stations fulfil their remit to the listener."
How to complain to the station or to Ofcom
If you are unhappy with anything you have heard on Radio Plymouth then, in the first instance, please contact Tricia Duff, Managing Director (contact details above). We will do our utmost to resolve you complaint or dispute.

text: Nora Ephron to Launch Celebrity Divorce Section on Huff Post 5:18 AM PST 11/8/2010 by Georg Szalai FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Helps kick off new site with excerpts from her new book NEW YORK - The Huffington Post is this week launching a section devoted to failed marriages, including celebrity divorces, the New York Times reported. The new offer comes courtesy of Arianna Huffington and author/screenwriter Nora Ephron, who experienced failed marriages themselves. Ephron, an occasional contributor to The Huffington Post, will help kick off the section with an excerpt from her new book I Remember Nothing. Huff Post Divorce is expected to include news on celebrity divorces, advice columns by lawyers, financial experts and psychologists and a forum for reader discussions. "My theory is that marriages come and go, but divorces are forever," said the screenwriter who wrote the novel "Heartburn" after splitting from journalist Carl Bernstein in 1979. "People who are divorced have endless problems," Ms. Ephron added. "There are financial needs and legal difficulties. Grooming is an issue, because they're constantly having to remake themselves. So there's an enormous service area." Parenting advice will play a role as well. "Having been divorced with two daughters, I've seen how easy it can be to destroy their lives if you let your feelings get in the way of doing the best thing for them," said Huffington, who is divorced from former Representative Michael Huffington of California.

What is HUBZone?
The HUBZone program was enacted into law as part of the Small Business Reauthorization Act of 1997. The SBA Regulates and implements the program, determines which businesses are eligible to receive HUBZone contracts, maintains a listing of qualified HUBZone small businesses federal agencies can use to locate vendors, and adjudicates protests of eligibility to receive HUBZone contracts.
The program applies to all federal departments and agencies as well as being adopted by many large companies. The government has established a goal of three (3) percent of prime contract dollars being awarded to HUBZone businesses.
HUBZone program is the only program that helps more than the business owner! It helps the community and the employees who are disadvantaged.
A business must meet the following criteria to become HUBZone certified:
Do you live in a HUBZone?
- The firm must be a 'small business' based on the SBA's size
standards based on the North American Industry Classification System
- The firm must be at least 51% owned and controlled by
citizens of the United States.
- The firm's principal office (where the greatest number of
employees perform their work, excluding contract sites) must be
located in a designated HUBZone area
- At least 35% of the firm's total workforce must reside in a
designated HUBZone areaD

McDonald's Launching First Vegetarian Restaurant in India
McDonald's is popular for its "two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions – all on a sesame seed bun" or Big Mac, along with many other not so healthy options. Well, it looks like the fast food chain is turning that around by opening a veggie-only restaurant in India, Fox News reports.
McDonald's very first veg establishment is set to open the middle of next year near the Golden Temple in the Sikh city of Amritsar in northern India.
"It will be the first time we have opened a vegetarian restaurant," Rajesh Kumar Maini, a spokesman for McDonald's in northern India, told AFP. "There is a big opportunity for vegetarian restaurants [in India] as many Indians are vegetarian."
The company is making such a bold move so as to not exclude those who maintain strict diets. With such a large culture of Hindus and Muslims, whose religion does not allow the consumption beef and pork, this new menu offers more options. Previously, McDonald's has tailored its menu in India by using chicken rather than beef.
The company also hopes to open another veggie-only location in northwestern Indian Kashmir, a holy Hindu temple.
Hopefully, McDonald's stays true to this new veg idea and maybe one day we will see more than one plant-based restaurant being built right here in the United States.

Strengthening Learnerships for Unemployed Youth
With support from JPMorgan Chase Foundation, we are promoting the development and delivery of IYF's Passport to Success® (PTS) life skills training for youth from disadvantaged backgrounds and communities in Gauteng Province, South Africa. This work contributes to the country-wide EOH Youth Job Creation Initiative and fills the need for market-responsive life skills training that EOH—along with the wider information and communications technology (ICT) industry—have identified as critical for preparing more young people for careers in the sector. In addition to PTS training, this initiative provides structured ICT workplace experience and technical training. In collaboration with Genesis Analytics, IYF will measure the impact of the PTS integration, and, with EOH, work to leverage this data to increase public and private sector investment in life skills training for unemployed youth.

- I've been spending a lot of time getting the Harry Potter for Grown Ups FAQ web site up and running. It's quite something! Check it out if you get a chance. The FAQ Site is a series of essays compiling and excerpting material from the discussions from the Harry Potter for Grown Ups group. You'll find there the collected wisdom of over 1500 Harry Potter fans who have spent hours and hours thinking about and talking over details of the books in the message area of the group. I will be placing links in the Lexicon between the two sites, so watch for that.
- I finally put together a map of the ground floor of Hogwarts castle, based on careful reading of the books. The Great Hall and the Entrance Hall take up most of the space. You'll notice that the trailer from the film does NOT agree with the arrangement as given in the books, and of course the books are considered canon and the movie is not. This is quite a nice map, I think. I'm working on more of them for the Atlas of Hogwarts.
- The day-by-day calendar of Prisoner of Azkaban is done and uploaded. This one was very tricky, since there was no way to make the dates actually fit any real calendar. I managed to put it together as logically as possible, but there are three main discrepencies that are noted at the beginning of that page.

| 10.3°C Belfast
Ireland are sweating on the fitness of Felix Jones less than 48 hours before they name their World Cup squad.
Jones was driven from the pitch in a medical cart in the 71st minute of Saturday's 26-22 defeat by France at Aviva Stadium after falling awkwardly while catching a high ball. The Munster full-back, making his full Test debut, had played his way into contention for the 30-man party for New Zealand, which is named at lunchtime on Monday.
"Felix has had an x-ray which didn't show a broken bone, but he'll have a scan," said coach Declan Kidney. "Only once we know the results of that will we be able to asses it fully. We need to check for ligament damage."
Kidney was able to deliver a more definitive update on loosehead prop Cian Healy, who had to be helped from the pitch during in the 51st minute.
"Someone stood on Cian's foot 10 days ago in training and unfortunately someone trod on the same spot in the game," said Kidney. It's just something that needs a little bit of fresh air and time for the bruise to heal."
Ireland's preparations for the World Cup suffered a further setback with their third successive defeat. They made a bright start with Healy's try helping them establish an early 8-0 lead, but France amassed 26 unanswered points before a late Irish flurry gave the score respectability.
England complete the four-Test summer series when they visit Dublin next Saturday, a game Ireland must win if they are to restore confidence in time for New Zealand. Kidney, however, is content that the squad's preparations are on track.
"The pressure's the same for every game. We've tried to win each one and that's what we'll do next Saturday," he said.
"Three losses isn't what we want to have. We'd have liked to have won them all, we haven't hidden from that fact.
"Am I concerned? No not really. In terms of what we're doing and the way we're going about it, I believe we are going the right way."

Kukla's Korner Hockey
A Disappointed Darryl Sutter After Practice Today
by Paul on 11/01/13 at 03:30 PM ET
Comments (0)
Jeff Carter was placed on IR today, Sutter after practice...
from Jonathan Davis of Mayor's Manor,
On what play Carter was hurt on:
"I don't know what you're talking about, where did you get your info from? It's somebody in the organization that told you, where you got it, then you go talk to them. I have't been told anything. There are several players not out there this morning. I'm extremely disappointed that information is given to you before it's given to us, if it's coming from inside. That's disappointing. The league probably announced this stuff because of IR. Teams announce stuff because of suspensions, whatever, right? But for me to get asked that question because somebody told you, go talk to them. I have nothing to say about any of that stuff. That's disappointing, it's not the way it's supposed to work."
a bit more...
Below, watch Sutter post-practice...

Payment of the Federal Estate Tax
UPDATED: July 11, 2018
It's all about you. We want to help you make the right legal decisions.
We strive to help you make confident law decisions. Finding trusted and reliable legal advice should be easy. This doesn't influence our content. Our opinions are our own.
An estate tax, commonly referred to as the death tax, is a tax paid out of the deceased person's estate after they die. All documents, sales and the final payment are completed by the deceased person's surviving family. Without an extension, federal estate taxes are paid in full within nine months of the estate owner's death.
How is the Estate Tax Calculated?
Estate tax takes into account the deceased person's gross estate. Items included in the gross estate for estate tax purposes are any land, businesses, bank accounts, investments, any trust property that the deceased person had a life estate in, and any life insurance policies where the deceased person was the owner.
Extensions of Time to Pay
If the amount of estate tax owed is greater than the money in the estate a 3-month extension can be given for payment of the estate tax, taking the final estate tax payment due date to 12 months after the time of the decedent's death. This 3-month window is designed to allow the executor the chance to liquefy any assets and gather the full amount of estate tax due. The extension of time is not automatic. You must file Form 4768, section III, a separate part of the form for requesting an extension to file Form 706.
Additional extension requests of time to pay can be granted, up to 1 year at a time, to a maximum of 10 years. For amounts that are deficiencies, the extended time to pay a deficiency is a maximum of 4 years, up, for up to 1 year at a time. Different extension periods may apply for different assessments.
If you are paying late, be prepared to establish undue hardship or reasonable cause for not paying the tax on time. If the amunt you owe is substantial, it would make sense to contact a tax professional on what constitutes reasonable cause.
Who Does Not Have to Pay Estate Taxes?
Estate tax is never due on estates below the current exemption amount. However, the estate tax return is required to be filed even if you don't actually owe any estate tax because of the exemption.

We have previously seen some videos of Android being installed on the iPhone 2G and iPhone 3G, the process was slightly complicated if you wanted to get Android running on your iPhone.
Now it seems there is a new easy way to get Android on your iPhone, using some software called iPhodroid.
What you will need to use iPhodroid to get Android on your iPhone is a jailbroken iPhone which has been jalibroken using the Pwnage tool, RedSn0w or Blackra1n.
You can find out full instructions on how to use it over at FSM. Have a look and our article on Android vs iPhone to see which smartphone and mobile platform is best for you.

What is Quantum Leap?
Quantum Leap means high and instantaneous. Quantum is not about making $100 a day. Quantum is all about making $10K or more a month.
Everyone wants a Quantum leap in their online business. It is indeed possible in 6 to 12 months if you do it right. I can vouch for many of our team members who have in fact done this.
What is that they do differently?
They have branded themselves as CEO.
One little idea and one little backend product which can give 100% commission payments plus more in passive income instantly to your PayPal account. They don't have to worry about the payment processing at all. All they have to do is add value, create an impact on their prospects.
I am sure these values which I am going to share in coming weeks will take your business to next level. All these content links will be kept in my group "The Secret Lead Generation Sauce" for easy access
In today's marketing scenario it is sad to see that big names in online marketing are being targeted and forced to shut down.
The main reason for this was because they were just targeting to recruit people and make money. The sponsors never mentored their teams to duplicate themselves. So it is very crucial to brand yourself rather than your company.
In coming few days, I am going to show you how to build your brand, how to increase your followers, fans, how to prospect, how to use groups, lives, stories, messenger and last but not the least how to duplicate leadership. Yes, duplication is key to success. You can't just be selfish and say that I should be the person because of which the business has grown, but instead, you have to be the reason for your team's success which automatically will make you succeed.
There is a limitless opportunity on how you can in fact quantum leap your income.
Ensure that you take notes. Take notes, not as a student. But as a CEO.
Really …just give a thought how many times have you taken a note that from various live, webinars, seminars that you thought can be implemented in your business and you decide to implement it the next day. But due to some other commitments, you leave it till the weekend. But again due to the family commitment on weekends, you just forget about it.
After a month you find all these gems neatly written but a very little of what you wrote down even makes a sense.
Does that sound familiar?
It used to happen to me. Until my mentor told me to take the notes as CEO. By that he meant, take the notes to take action the same day. Either implement or share the value with your prospects on the same day.
Hope that makes sense and you start taking notes the CEO way.
Now you hear everywhere "Adding Value" … What does adding value mean?
Adding value simply means either educating your prospect or solving their problems with your ideas and strategies.
Many a time your prospects won't know what they want, so your value may help them think, "oh now I know why I didn't make any sales till now. "
Next important point is follow up
As you know, follow up is very important in our business. How many of you have engaged with someone and they agreed to watch the link that you shared? but they never got back?
It happens a lot. It happens to everyone.
But first let me tell you this, you have to set up an environment for follow up first. So when you want to share your link at the end of your conversation, it is always better to say "Hey if I share you my link, will you watch it?" If they say No, ask them why not politely. and if they say yes, ask them by when would they be able to watch it. Then you can ask them what's the best time for you to check on them. So now you are not bothering somebody you are being professional
Many a time they will reply that they will get back as soon as they watch the video and you need not follow up with them. But they don't respond for long.
So don't just message them "Hey, what's up, you didn't come back on that link that I shared. Did you like it, I would really love you to be in my team"? Believe me, that's not effective
Instead you go back to the people who have not responded to you 4 days or more and remember you are just expecting a response from them and not a signup. So go to them and say "I apologize as I have been very busy lately doing lots of presentations I didn't get a chance to follow up with you. How are you?" If they respond or just give a thumbs up, yes many will just give you a thumbs up.
Now all you have do is refer them back to the link that you shared and engage with them.
But what if they still don't respond. Don't worry if they still don't, just wait for 30 days and send them an update which is something exciting maybe it has happened to you or your teammates and then do the deflection. like I know it might not be the right fit for you but do you know anyone that might want to enjoy the same benefit?
Now wait for their answer and if it has hurt their ego, they will say I will check the video again and get back. There you got it. If no reply again or if they say NO. No Means Next One. You have many more prospects. So just move on.
Now that you have decided to be a CEO, ensure that your profile picture is of you. Do not put the profile picture of some movie star, or your pet and neither your kids. Your face has to be clearly visible. Because when you post or comment on someone's post it is your profile picture which is the first thing that they notice.
So it should be you with a smiling face, preferably a professional photo and not the one in the party or something like that. If the photo is of something else, make sure that it is done purposefully. Remember when you friend someone on Facebook, your picture is the first impression.
Also, your cover photo should be simple clear and not cluttered. If you are a mentor add an image showing you talk on the stage in your cover photo. That can make a huge difference. It's your brand image.
To touch up a little on the bio. tell them everything but still tell them nothing. What I mean by that is add details mentioning that you CEO of your business page because you are the owner of your own business. The introduction has 140 char. It should start like On a mission to … or helping people to. for e.g. On a mission to help my prospects to build their business using social media.
Just think your profile as a TV Show. You want people to tap into your show. You want people to engage in your life. So do it on purpose.
So go ahead build your cover page yourself using Canva.com or use services like fiverr.com and build a brand image.
How did you like it? Do write it in a comment. Have a great day.

The system uses the solar cells to collect the energy and a large lithium-ion battery, said to be the equivelent of four Nissan Leafs, stores the energy for later use. This way the energy is harvested through renewable means but is available for on-demand distribution when needed. The charging system includes seven stations — three quick charging stations and four normal stations.
4R, a joint venture between Nissan and Sumitomo Corportation, is also testing a compact version that uses a second-life lithium ion battery pack previously used in Nissan Leafs. In the end 4R plans to enter the market with mid-sized electricity storage systems aimed at the commercial and public sector.

Cube4You Cubic 3x3x5
Well, the countdown is on – 20 more working days left for me, so that means 20 more definite daily blogs.
Anyway, this week I thought I would show some cuboids. Nothing majorly extravagant, all mass-produced, but still fun.
Today's is a cubic 3x3x5. You can see the middle layer is full-sized. I guess the benefit there is that you get a dual solve – the cuboid parts and then the standard 3×3. Well, I suppose you reshape it as a 3c3 to be able to move around the small layers, solve those and then solve the 3×3.
It's a nice puzzle, turns well with nice, thick stickers.
Well under ten pounds from Z Cube. Not a bad transition from cubes to cuboids.
Here it is scrambled:

This recipe is tried and true – it's perfect.
I've made hundreds of apple pies (no – seriously. I swear.) because for some crazy reason I find it relaxing. Therapeutic almost. Maybe you will too!
So – I'm sharing these steps with you just in time for thanksgiving!
I learned these simple steps to the PERFECT apple pie from my mother.
And now – lucky you – you can too!
Homemade. No Preservatives. All natural.
It's almost HEALTHY! Haha. Almost.
With no further adieu, I wish you the love of apple pie making and life's simple pleasure of smelling fresh baked apples fresh out of the oven.
Prep time: 40 min (if you're new 😉 )
Bake time: 50 min
And 90 min later you have a spotless kitchen and THIS!!!
Pastry Ingredients
- 2 cups white flour
- 1 cup crisco shortening (this is critical)
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
Filling ingredients
- 6-8 peeled, sliced apples. (I pretty much love any apple for pie, Cortland are used here – but if you want to get specific, click here)
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 3/4 to 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 large mixing bowls
- bowl for apple peels
- 2 cereal bowls
- 2 table knives
- Fork
- 1c Measuring cup
- Tablespoon
- Teaspoon
- Rolling pin
- Thin lifter, flipper, spatula, icing spreader type thing (whatever you wanna call it)
- Pie plate
- Large cutting board
- Sharp knife
Step 1:
Preheat oven to 400 F.
Get out all ingredients and tools. Put pastry ingredients on large open table space.
Put filling ingredients in separate area for now.
Step 2:
Combine crisco and flour in bowl, chopping into pea-sized shapes with 2 knives or a pastry cutter. (I use knives)
Step 3:
Blend liquid ingredients in small bowl with fork.
Pour and blend into flour mixture with the same fork until its smooth and looks/feels like fluffy play dough.
Step 4:
Get your hands in there!!
Roll pastry into one big ball, kneed it a few times to keep it all together.
Cover ball in flour. Slice directly in half and set aside.
Step 5:
Peel and slice apples to approx. 1/2 thick. It's approximate, not rocket science.
Do this however you're most comfortable, peel first or second, doesn't matter.
Size variation is ok, too.
Here's what I like to do:
Step 6:
Add dry ingredients to the apples (not the butter) and mix well.
Step 7:
Now the fun part. ROLLING!
NOTE: There is going to be flour everywhere, just roll with it. Pun intended.
Fill a cereal bowl with flour. Sprinkle flour VERY GENEROUSLY all over your rolling surface.
Place pastry on floury table. Press pastry down with rolling pin a couple times and sprinkle with flour generously again.
Cover your rolling pin with flour.
This makes it so the pastry doesn't stick.
If the pastry starts to stick. More flour!
Slow and steady, roll pastry from the centre outward until it's large enough to cover your pie dish.
WARNING: the more you roll the pastry the tougher the dough gets. If it takes a couple tries, no worries. Just remember slow and steady wins this race!
Step 8:
The pastry transfer. So, I lied. Sorry! This part might not be as simple. It can be a little tricky at first.
Use the long spatula, flipper, lifter, icing spreader thing (the thinner it is, the better) to loosen any pastry stuck to the table.
Gently use your hands and lifter to fold the pastry in half.
Then gently use your hands and lifter to transfer the pastry to the pie dish. Unfold.
If it cracks or breaks – it's ok! Treat it like playdough and stick it back together in the plate… no one will know. 😉
Step 9:
Add the apples!
Dab the 2 tbsp of butter around on top of the apples.
Step 10:
Roll out your pie top (repeat step 7).
Fold crust in half (repeat step 8) BUT before transferring, use a knife and/or fork to add detail.
Like this:
<<<<<< make it tricker to transfer, so if that freaks you out, detail after you transfer!
Step 11:
Pinch your edges. There are lots of ways to do this.
Basically you're just sealing your pie:
Step 12:
Trim your edges with a knife.
Special touch before putting in the oven…
- Brush pie top with milk
- Sprinkle with sugar
Step 13:
Bake for 50 min at 400 F.
TIP: use a cookie sheet to catch any juices that bubble.
Then… clean your kitchen while the pie bakes!
And voila!
If you DO this, will you tell me?
I wish you the love of apple pie making and life's simple pleasure of smelling fresh baked apples fresh out of the oven.

Burning and Bleeding After Urination
Bleeding at the end of the urinary stream.
Antibiotics are appropriate if the bleeding and burning are caused by a urinary tract infection. Some urinary infections, including bladder infections, prostate infections, and urethritis (inflammation of the urethra, the tube in the penis that leads from the bladder to the outside), can lead to blood in the urine or at the tip of the urethra. Recurrence of this symptom should make the treating physician suspicious that either the bleeding is not due to an infection, the infection was incompletely treated, or the same or another organism has caused a recurrent infection.
Appropriate use of cultures (placing some urine in a culture dish in the lab to see whether organisms grow — and if so, what kind) to guide antibiotic therapy is the best way to completely eradicate a urinary tract infection. If in fact you did not have a documented culture-positive infection, then other causes of hematuria need to be investigated.
These can include a kidney stone that passed down into the bladder or urethra; a tumor of the bladder, urethra, or upper urinary tract; and a vascular (blood vessel) malformation. These potential sources of blood should be investigated. The most common cause of bleeding in the urinary tract in men is enlargement of the prostate, but this is a diagnosis of exclusion that can only be entertained when more serious causes have been ruled out.

The GBT – The Good, The Bad and The Telling sandwich, where The Bad is nice and lean and the The Telling is ripe.
THE GOOD: Hellboy Cometh Again. Hellickson pitched brilliantly again, holding the M's scoreless for 7 innings. He was charged with 1 run in the 8th, striking out 4, walking 1 and giving up just 3 hits. In his last 6 starts, he has allowed just 6 runs in 40.1 innings (1.34 ERA).
THE BAD: Joel Peralta. Peralta has been less than automatic recently. In his last 10 outings, he has given up at least 1 run in 5 of those appearances. Over that span, he has given up 6 runs in 12 innings on 6 hits and 6 walks with just 5 walks. And yesterday he made things interesting in the 8th inning when he gave up a 2-run home run to bring the Mariners within 1 run.
THE TELLING: Evan Longoria left the game in the 4th inning with tightness "in his side" (that's where the oblique is located). However, Longoria says he feels well enough that he hopes to play today…Casey Kotchman was back in the lineup after missing 5 games…
- It's official, Andy Sonnanstine is now out of the rotation and Alex Cobb is in. At least until Jeff Niemann returns (about 2 weeks). [TampaBay.com]
- Ken Rosenthal thinks the Rays will be buyers at the deadline and feels they will ask about Jose Reyes, but doubts they'll be willing to part with the necessary prospects. [MLBTR]
- A couple of weeks ago we pointed out that Matt Joyce's success was tied to being more aggressive, but only within the strikezone. Apparently that was the plan all along. Joe Maddon: "…if he continues to swing at strikes and lay off bad pitches, it's going to stay this way for a while." [TampaBay.com]
- Evan Longoria talks about his injury "scare." [TBO.com]
- Another day. Another disturbing picture of Bobby Ramos. [The Heater]
- Pawtucket 7, DURHAM 1: Dirk Hayhurst returned from the DL and gave up 4 runs in 4.1 innings. He struck out 3 and walked 1…Mike Ekstrom struck out 5 of the 7 batters he faced in 2 innings…CF Desmond Jenningswent 0-4 with 2 Ks…RF Brandon Guyer had 2 singles to raise his average to .324…C Jose Lobaton went 0-4 with 2 strikeouts.
- Mississippi 11, MONTGOMERY 3: Nick Barnese gave up 5 runs (4 earned) in 4 innings. He struck out 2 and walked 3. The 3-run home run off Barnese in the first gave Mississippi a lead they would never relinquish…SS Tim Beckham was 1-5 and committed his 9th error…DH Stephen Vogt doubled and tripled in 5 at bats.
- CHARLOTTE 8, Bradenton 0: Kyle Lobstein struck out 5 in 7 shutout innings. He retired the first 11 batters he faced and 21 of 22 overall. He allowed just 1 hit and no walks…SS Hak-Ju Lee was 2-4 with a walk…2B Tyler Bortnick was 0-4 with a walk…C Mark Thomas homered for the second straight game, his 5th.
- Beloit 5, BOWLING GREEN 2: George Jensen, not to be confused with George Jetson, gave up 2 runs in 4.2 innings, striking out 5 and walking 2…SS Derek Dietrichwas 0-4 and CF Cody Rogers went 1-5 with 3 strikeouts.
