If you haven't started receiving tax forms in the mail yet this year, they're on their way. It's time to gather your paperwork and get that tax ball rolling, so to speak. And it's the time of year when many people take a trip to see their financial professional.
Every year, financial advisors see clients making a variety of mistakes that hurt their bottom lines. Here are some common oversights that pop up:
You're funding tax-advantaged accounts too late. "Most people wait until the tax filing deadline to contribute to their IRAs," says Nick Holeman, a financial advisor in New York, NY. "A better approach is to fund your IRA as early in the year as possible, preferably in January. This strategy has provided average additional returns of $14,507 on the table over any 10-year period of investing since 1928."
You're forgetting you funded tax-advantaged accounts. "People fund IRAs or Roth IRAs at the beginning of a calendar year, and by the time tax time comes around, they forget they have done this and don't report," says Dana Anspach, a financial advisor in Scottsdale, AZ.
You have taxable investments but you aren't funding a Roth. "Often times clients can use taxable investment dollars to make Roth IRA contributions, which then removes that taxable investment income from their tax return," says Jeffrey Coplan, a financial advisor in Eden Prairie, MN.
You could have donated your required minimum distribution (RMD). If you're 70.5 or older, and you'd rather not take your RMD, you can donate it to charity and it won't increase your adjusted gross income. "This requires some advance planning, and you can't do it retroactively for 2016," says Patrick Huey, a financial advisor in Camas, WA. "But now is a great time to determine if you contribute enough to charitable causes to use this strategy and reduce your taxable income."
You aren't participating in an FSA or HSA. Money contributed to a Flexible Spending Account or Health Spending Account is pre-tax and can be put toward a variety of eligible medical expenses. With a little time spent estimating yearly healthcare costs, you can save hundreds of dollars in taxes. "My wife and I used our employer's FSA to set aside money for both of our children's braces," says John Cooper, a financial advisor in Greenwood, SC. "The cost of braces was north of $10,000. Therefore we were able to save over $3,000 in taxes by using an FSA."
You didn't put enough into your HSA. One advisor met with a client and noticed that he'd funded only half of his HSA for 2016 at the family level. "They just had their first baby in December and still have outstanding bills," says Darin Shebesta, a financial advisor in Scottsdale, AZ. "I shared with him that he can fund his HSA by linking his bank account and contributing funds from that account to his HSA. He thought the only way to contribute was through payroll." In the end the client saved about $1,000 in federal taxes because of it.
You aren't using a 529 college savings plan. Your savings grow tax-free toward education costs, and in many states, you can get a state income tax break for your contribution. "Even if your kids are already in college, if your state allows the deduction, contribute to the 529 and take the money out in the same year to get the deduction," says David Haas, a financial advisor in Franklin Lakes, NJ.
You didn't tell your tax preparer about payroll deducted charitable contributions. Remember when you signed up to have $10 every month deducted for United Way, or another charity of your choice? Give your tax person the heads up so they can include it in your deductions. "The preparer has no way of knowing about these contributions," says Jerry Murphy, a financial advisor in Bowie, MD.
You aren't reviewing your tax return with your preparer. It sometimes happens that a tax pro forgets to put something on someone's return—a tax advantaged account, a deduction—that's been there in every previous year. "And because most people just sign their return without reviewing it with their preparer, they end up paying more in taxes than they should," says John Scherer, a financial advisor in Middleton, WI. "We've seen more instances than you'd believe of things getting missed just because no one took the time to look at this year's return versus last year's to checking for anything that looks out of place."

I am truly happy. But the fulfillment comes in relaying my finds, in playing photographer, creating story ideas, and in telling friends I've just seen the perfect something for them. And so I shopped (once again, in the name of the new Country Living furniture collection, as I mentioned already – I've got license to buy "props" for the showroom –debuting in High Point, North Carolina this April.
Today's target: The Cooper City Antique Mall and Ikea. First up Cooper City… Hope my finds inspire you too.
Smaller than Hillsboro, but packed with some real goodies and the prices are very palatable. Dody and Audrey manage the place and over the years they have loaned me some things for my local shoots.
Dody's got the space up by the window, and her array of good country pieces looks great illuminated in natural light.
Loved her peachy cupboard
And this mini dresser with blue crochet shoes
I once made a vow to wear aprons out of the house on a regular basis. I love the colors, patterns and styles. But I haven't kept my promise. I will try harder.
Look. I found the Herman Munster lunch box!!!
And here's Marilyn. Just kidding her name is Eva. Somewhere in between weird mannequin heads and classical statues, lies this chick from the 60s. I bought her.
I googled "Flamingo Motel" and found a few perfectly kitschy, kind of seedy examples. Don't know if any are related.
I met Leff who staged this booth. There's a sign in his booth that reads "Lefftovers" – before I knew his name I told him how much I liked the misspelled sign. That's when he introduced himself.
This very cool collar collection was also in his booth. I put it on my "think about it" list.
I have never seen this type of figurine before. There were about 20 of these beaded ladies. Most of the tags read J.A.P. parfum or powder box. Prices ranged from $200 - $300 mostly.
Since I've been hanging out with Jeanne Bice from Quacker Factory (quackerfactory.com)I am paying attention to yellow ducks more and more. This one's for you, Jeanne.
More toys.
I have collected playing cards in the past and always look for something new to add to the collection. Even though I love the candy colored Scotties, I won't spend this much on cards
Meow…………….. (that's cat for "Ciao!")
Oops! Ikea, I almost forgot Thee-a……….
I always go there with such intention, but that usually gets muddled in the giganticness of it all. I went in for frames, curtains, rugs, and lamps. I left with 3 frames, some nice kitchen towels that can double as oversized dinner napkins, and of course the $1 frozen yogurt cone – my reward for making it through. Loved these striped Hemon area rugs, 2'4" x 5'3", $14.99.

It's easy to get mixed up the first time you look to rent a car. When scanning various advertisments, do you ever flip back and forth, Month To Month Car Rental in Sandhurst completely unsure of whether or not you're getting the best deal? Not even sure if you can figure out which one is the best deal? Whether this is your first time renting or not, it is always important that you never enter a car rental arrangement without researching all of your options first.
Insurance is a classic example of this. The four most common types are: collision damage waiver (CDW)/loss damage waiver (LDW), supplemental liability insurance, personal accident insurance, and personal effects coverage. Most rental car companies will pitch the CDW really hard, Best Long Term Rental Car Deals as well as the theft insurance. What you should know is that usually you don't need either of them. Before you shell out $15 per day or more for these options, check your normal auto insurance already covers rentals. The other thing to look up is your credit card's policy on rentals. Almost every rental company requires a credit card for payment. That is because it makes it easy for the company to add charges for "damages" later. As a side note, because of this, DO NOT use a debit card, ever. You will have no opportunity to dispute the charges if you get cheated. Make sure you use a real credit card. Since you have to use a credit card, see if your credit card offers automatic insurance coverage as long as you charge the rental to that card. You would be surprised how many do.
The next major rip-off is the fuel purchase option. The idea is that you pay for a full tank of gas ahead of time so you can return the vehicle on empty. The catch: it's virtually impossible for you to use all of the gas in the car, so it's best to decline the offer and fill up the tank just before returning it. That way, you only pay for what you've used. Otherwise, the cost is usually far more than what you actually use.
Aside from hidden costs, most rental companies will only rent to someone who is at least 25 years old or even older. Some companies will rent cars to persons 21 years or older but often charge an additional ten to twenty dollars a day. Also, only the driver who is renting the car is covered under the insurance, so don't let a buddy drive because if he wrecks it, you're responsible.
Importance of Car Rental Services
Keep this basics in mind, and watch out for local taxes. With the internet, Long Term Car Rental Lease it can be easy to search out the most expensive and least expensive cities and to plan your rental accordingly. Use all the tools at your disposal, and your experience is much more likely to run smoothly without any unpleasant surprises.
Month To Month Car Rental in Sandhurst ?
Do you have to have a credit check run when you rent a car? Under normal circumstances you do not have to have one run, but there are situations where one may be required. You can find out more about this in the rest of this article.Most car rental agencies require that you be at least 25 years old and have a valid credit card in order to rent a car. If you meet both of these qualifications then you shouldn't have any problem finding an agency that will rent you a car without a credit check. Don't hesitate to ask before giving them any information though if you are concerned about this. On the other hand, if don't have a credit card they may run one to make sure you are a decent credit risk.When you try to use cash to pay for a rental automobile there is little doubt that a credit check will be run if you can even find an agency that will rent you one for cash.

Car Rental: The Basics
It doesn't need to be considered sexual harassment to make a statement. Mark Hurd, the chief executive of Hewlett-Packard Co., was forced to resign last week after a female contractor of H-P, actress Jodie Fisher, sent Hurd a letter alleging sexual harassment.
While investigating the claim, H-P did not actually find evidence of sexual harassment. Rather, the company found that Hurd had violated H-P's standards of business conduct, submitting inaccurate expense reports-totaling about $20,000 in expenses-that concealed what the company called a "close relationship" with Fisher, who assisted at HP sponsored summit events. But, it was enough to convince H-P. The company's board was unanimous: Hurd's conduct had undermined what H-P expected of their employees.
Corporate governance experts questioned H-P's decision to force Hurd's resignation, saying that corporate expense offenses can usually be settled if the executive pays back the amount, which Hurd had offered to do. But, H-P stuck to their decision, forcing Hurd to resign: Hurd's conduct had not only undermined what H-P expected from their employees, but more importantly, he violated the standards to which a CEO, as an example for the rest of the company, must be held.

Regular grooming with a brush or comb will help keep your pet's hair in good condition by removing dirt, spreading natural oils throughout her coat, preventing tangles and keeping her skin clean and irritant-free. Plus, grooming time is a great time to check for fleas and flea dirt—those little black specks that indicate your pet is playing host to a flea family.
The way you brush your pet—and how often—will largely depend on his or her coat type.
Smooth, Short Coats
If your dog has a smooth, short coat (like that of a Chihuahua, Boxer or Basset Hound), you only need to brush once a week. Use a rubber brush to loosen dead skin and dirt and follow with bristle brush to remove dead hair. Polish your low-maintenance pooch with a chamois cloth and she's ready to shine!
Short, Dense Fur
If your dog has short, dense fur that's prone to matting, like that of a retriever, brushing once a week is fine. Use a slicker brush to remove tangles and catch dead hair with a bristle brush. Don't forget to comb her tail!
Long, Silky Coats
If your dog has a long, luxurious coat, such as that of a Yorkshire terrier, she'll need daily attention. Every day you'll need to remove tangles with a slicker brush. Next, brush her coat with a bristle brush. If you have a long-haired dog with a coat like a collie's or an Afghan hound's, follow the steps above, but also be sure to comb through the fur and trim the hair around the feet.
Long Hair That's Frequently Matted
For long-haired pooches, it's a good idea to set up a daily grooming routine to remove tangles and prevent mats. Gently tease out tangles with a slicker brush, and then brush your pet with a bristle brush. If matting is particularly dense, you may try clipping the hair, taking care not to come near the skin.

On March 7, 2013, Brazil's antitrust agency CADE revised its regulation on settlement proceedings regarding pending investigations for alleged anticompetitive behavior. The revised rules are primarily related to settlements in cartel cases and directly affect pending international cartel investigations.
Under the new policy, to settle an ongoing cartel case, defendants (both individuals and companies) must admit their participation in the illegal behavior, cooperate with the investigation and pay a settlement sum. Differently from the previous system, the new regulation establishes predetermined level of discounts depending on the moment in time the defendant comes forward and the degree of expected cooperation. In case the investigation is still pending before CADE's Superintendency, the first defendant to settle can be granted a reduction of between 30 and 50 per cent of the expected fine, the second 25 to 40 per cent and the third onwards up to 25 per cent. If the case is already pending at CADE's Tribunal for final adjudication, a defendant is entitled to a fine reduction of up to 15 per cent. In any event, the settlement sum can never be less than the minimum fine for anticompetitive conduct provided for in Brazil's competition law, which is equivalent to 0.1 per cent of a company's (group of companies' or conglomerate's) gross revenues generated in the sector of activity affected by the infringement in the year prior to the initiation of the investigation.
The general procedure rules provides that (i) a defendant can only try to settle once ("one-shot game"), and that (ii) the negotiation period is for 30 days, renewable for another 30 days, if the case is at CADE's Tribunal awaiting adjudication. For investigations pending at the Superintendency, the negotiation deadline is established at the discretion of the agency. The negotiation process may also be confidential at the discretion of CADE.
Pursuant to the previous rules, the investigation was suspended for the settling parties during a specified period of time for the conditions set forth to be fulfilled, after which, they would be excluded from the proceedings. Under the new policy, the assessment on whether the parties have or not fulfilled the settlement conditions will only take place when CADE adjudicates the cartel investigation. CADE is allowed to settle with only one defendant, i.e., it is not necessary that all defendants settle or settle at the same time. In this case, the investigation will be suspended with respect to the settling party and proceed with respect to the other defendants.
Cartels are both an administrative infringement and a crime in Brazil, with parallel and independent enforcement systems. A settlement with CADE does not shield individuals from criminal liability and the fact that an admission of guilt is now mandatory requires interested parties to carefully consider the expected effects a settlement at the administrative level might have at the criminal front. Also, the level of private antitrust enforcement is increasing in Brazil and settlements with CADE may also prompt civil courts to determine that award for damages be paid by settling parties to third-parties affected by the conduct.
Finally, pursuant to the previous rules, the investigation was suspended for the parties that settle, during a specified period of time for the conditions set forth to be fulfilled, after which, they would be excluded from the proceedings. Under the new policy, the assessment on whether the parties have or not fulfilled the settlement conditions will only take place when CADE adjudicates the case.

Testimonials & Reviews
"Works as good as Outlook! Pros: 1) My Social Security Checks are deposited the fourth Wednesday of the month. It handles this and the repetitions flawlessly. 2) It will import CSV files from Outlook. Cons: I haven't found any thus far. I do wish that one could edit the list of events to be IMPORTed. Summary: I downloaded several calendar programs, but I don't think I will install the others."
- neilhmurphy, March 2012
"I've been trying different reminder programs for some time now. It came down to yours, xReminder and Calendarscope. I decided to go with yours mainly because it has and is pretty well exactly what I'm looking for."
- Percy, March 2014
"... My answer: The flexibility to create new groups with their own colour codes, the ability to create annual events with choices for example, "the last Sunday of March for the year" to schedule the start of British Summer time and the reminders for forthcoming events. In addition the interface is attractive. Please write down your comments on Efficient Calendar. My answer: I did some considerable rersearch into calendar software and downloaded a few trial versions before I made my purchase. ..."

Get email delivery of the Cadence blog featured here
Recently, Renesas Electronics Corporation faced a challenge. They were developing a new data conversion block, one that included an AHB bus bridge, which would be attached to a pre-existing DMA IP core. There was also a complicated finite state machine involved in this new block. Renesas didn't have a whole lot of time on their hands—they needed a quick turnaround time, but only had a limited amount of engineers to accomplish that with. Because of that, they wanted to recycle a few in-house IPs and the verification of those IPs in their new project, despite having a team that wasn't involved in those previous endeavors. Beyond that, Renesas also wanted to upgrade their verification methods with top-of-the-line tech. They wanted this verification environment to be a model which other IP core design projects could follow.
Quite a tall order—but it was easy with Cadence's help.
Using Cadence tools and assistance from Cadence application engineers, Renesas was able to use Specman e's native scalability to keep their old legacy testbench, even though there were over 45 component files and loads of internal connections across different components. After that, Renesas used the Cadence Xcelium Parallel Logic Simulator alongside the Cadence Indago Debug Analyzer App, taking advantage of the e language to help them build complex and scalable testbenches.
"To make the best use of the existing IP cores, renewing the legacy verification environment with the most advanced tools available proved to be an effective approach. Positive and collaborative relationships with Cadence played a key role to achieve it," said Takahiro Ikenobe, director of the peripheral circuit design department at Renesas Electronics.
Using Cadence products gave Renesas a 77% savings in labor while still meeting Renesas's standard of high quality. With the vManager platform, Renesas was able to reach 100% combined coverage, allowing them to completely reach verification signoff. Using Cadence's tools to revitalize their old verification environment was a resounding success, and greatly helped Renesas make the most of their existing work—and we're looking forward to further endeavors with them in the future.

Capitalism: A Love Story
{5/5} "This is capitalism, a system of taking and giving. Mostly taking. The only thing we didn't know was when the revolt would begin."
In the US corporations have gained an absurd amount of control over the government. How did this happen? When the financial crisis happened, the banks were bailed out. Why didn't the banks have to tell anyone what they were doing with the money? There are people who are trying to do the right thing, including some in government, but they've been overwhelmed by those who have been bought out.
Capitalism: A Love Story was released in 2009.
This is an important documentary — I urge you to see it. Sometimes Michael Moore's documentaries have funny parts but this one was pretty serious — one might say grim. Although it does recount the victory of a group of factory workers against a bank, an event which offers some hope.
It gives you a historical perspective, going all the way back to Franklin D. Roosevelt, who wanted to pass a second bill of rights that would guarantee education, housing, medical care, and employment. That didn't happen (in the US — it did happen elsewhere). There's some discussion with clergy about how capitalism goes against Christianity and other religions.
There might be some simplification going on here, but you have to start somewhere.
Here are a couple more quotations from the movie. "The system has built into it what we call propaganda. I'm in awe of propaganda. The ability to convince people who are victimized by the very system to support the system and see it as a good." And: "If you've been told your whole life that things are the way other people tell you they are, to be able to say 'Well, no, I can make it different' is quite a big deal."
Watch this movie when you're feeling strong — it can be depressing. The things that are shown in this movie should be well known, should have been presented on the news — but they're not.
The movie was written, produced, and directed by Michael Moore (Roger & Me, Bowling for Columbine, Fahrenheit 9/11).

First, here's a family tree for those who asked. Mr. Bennet married the former Mrs. Morland. Mr. Bingley's widow married General Tilney. All of the characters were several years old when the deaths occurred so everyone has at least one dead parent. Does that make sense?
Chapter Two
Meryton, Hertfordshire
October 4, 1811
Without much more fuss, the days passed until the next Meryton assembly. It was not the ladies' first desire to get to know their prodigal neighbors at a public ball, but their father had been adamant in not calling earlier. As it happened, General Tilney had only been at Netherfield for a day or two before leaving for London. Mrs. Long, the circulator of all local gossip, claimed he would be arriving with five gentlemen and five ladies.
The single women of the area pouted at the possibility that all the men were already attached. At last, the moment of truth came. When only four women and five gentlemen, including the General, arrived, the crowd, unanimously gave up Mrs. Long as once again wrong in her information and before so much as a word was spoken had settled it in their heads that the four young gentlemen were unattached. One lady was surely Mrs. Tilney, given her age, and the others must only be sisters.
The truth was something to the effect. One lady was indeed Mrs. Tilney. She brought a son and two daughters — one married with her husband in attendance. This left the two sons of General Tilney, but no one could claim to recognize the eldest. His age looked correct, but there was no family resemblance.
They were soon to find out, that it was not Frederick Tilney, heir of Netherfield Abbey of four thousand a year and houses in Town and Bath. Instead, it was a Mr. Darcy of Pemberley in Derbyshire. His reported income was ten thousand pounds; he was cried up as good as a lord. He was the particular friend of Mrs. Tilney's son, Charles Bingley, and it would have been the prize of the night to attain his admiration if his manners had not given a disgust. Compared with the amiability of Mr. and Mrs. Tilney's sons, Mr. Darcy was seen as intolerably proud.
Mr. Bingley was without a house, although his inheritance was large, and he declared a desire to lease an estate in the neighborhood. Mr. Henry Tilney had just taken orders and was to take over for Dr. Harrison in a nearby parish. The ladies of Meryton, both sensible and romantic, sighed at the elegant figures the two gentlemen cut and their dancing skill. Mr. Darcy was the most handsome and tallest, but no one could admire his way of staring critically at the crowd.
General Tilney was declared as much improved from when he was last seen. Town gossips determined him very much in love with his new wife who came from a good family but married into trade with her first marriage.
Elizabeth saw, with much joy, that Mr. Bingley had immediately sought an introduction with Jane at his earliest opportunity.
Jane smiled at her handsome partner. "We were so pleased to hear of your arrival in the neighborhood, Mr. Bingley," she said. "We have all missed General Tilney's presence, and I am sure your mother and sisters will be welcome additions as well."
"My mother seems most fortunate in her marriage." Mr. Bingley's brown eyes danced in the surrounding candlelight.
"I believe I heard they married last year?" Elizabeth asked.
"Yes, and you may wonder at the delay for their taking residence at Netherfield again."
Jane and Elizabeth nodded.
"They met in Bath and chose to stay there until all their children finished their educations. I have just completed my master's examinations at Cambridge. Henry completed his studies just before the marriage but then served as a deacon until he came of age. Frederick's regiment was also stationed nearby."
Jane smiled at the mention of the eldest Tilney son. "I knew him as a boy. He has joined the military?"
"Yes, a Captain in the Militia," Mr. Bingley said. "There was talk of him going into the regulars, but he has not yet, and as heir to Netherfield I rather doubt that he will. His father insisted in some form of employment for his son, however, to keep him occupied." Mr. Bingley gazed out across the crowd as though to be sure his step-father had not heard the remark.
Jane furrowed her brow. "And have you had the same demands put upon you?"
Uncertainty clouded Bingley's eyes. "I am charged with purchasing an estate as soon as may be."
Elizabeth observed that although Jane's expression did not change, disappointment momentarily flashed in her eyes.
"Oh, then you will not stay long at Netherfield?" Jane asked.
Bingley grinned, and his white teeth dazzled like diamonds. "I doubt I shall find anything until next Spring. The autumn and winter are hardly conducive to looking at estates."
Jane blushed but did not reply. Elizabeth felt it necessary to say something. "I suppose so. We are fortunate, though, with our easy distance to London."
"Indeed. My sisters enjoy that as well."
This, at last, roused Jane to speech. "They seem like very elegant ladies!"
Elizabeth looked across the ballroom and immediately saw the women in question. Their delicate silk gowns and ornate headpieces with feathers stood out amongst the crowd of patterned muslins and fresh flowers as they lined the dark paneled walls. Mr. Bingley's elder sister, Mrs. Hurst, toyed with a shining necklace of emeralds and sapphires. Elizabeth guessed it cost half her father's annual income. Firm to believe in first impressions, Elizabeth perceived the ladies felt above their company and could not like them.
"Thank you. Caroline and Louisa do count themselves as such. I am afraid my newest sister, Eleanor, is more reserved."
Elizabeth looked around the room and saw Miss Tilney, dressed not nearly as finely as her step-sisters, standing alone.
Jane smiled gently. "I know my sisters and I will enjoy getting to know her better. It simply takes some people longer to warm up to a crowd of strangers."
Mr. Bingley cocked his head. "I think you speak from experience."
Jane blushed. "Yes, I find new people and situations uncomfortable."
The musicians began to strike up for a new set, and Mr. Bingley civilly requested Jane and Elizabeth as partners. As Jane was lead to the dance floor, Elizabeth overheard what she said to Bingley.
"I have never revealed so much to a new acquaintance before," she confessed.

Here's another post I forgot to publish!
But first, I only have 95 votes so far on this poll. Can you answer if you haven't?
We had a get together with the local CE peeps at my house yesterday, and it was SO much fun. I think around 30 people or more showed up, and many of them were passing Easton around to snuggle with.

Something inexplicable and weird happened on Erik's death anniversary. Easton spit up a little bit on Michelle's shirt, so Michelle went into my room to borrow one of mine. Instead of getting one from my drawer that has my shorts and shirts, she opened the bottom drawer where I keep my clothing keepsakes: a dress Annika used as a newborn, Erik's cub scout uniform, my favorite nightgown so full of holes it had to be retired, etc. No, she pulled out the pink shirt that I wore when I found Erik's body after he killed himself. It had bloodstains all over it because I hugged him while I was sobbing. My heart dropped when I saw it, but for a moment, I fantasized about using the DNA to clone him. But even if that were possible, I knew there'd be no guarantee that his soul would occupy that body. I asked her did she realize what shirt it was and she said she figured it was the shirt I used when I dyed my hair and that the stains were just hair dye. I mean, what are the chances?
Blog member, Deborah, sent me this today. I found it so heartwarming. But it begs the question: Why?
Don't forget that tomorrow at 7 PM CT is Erik's Hour of Enlightenment radio show. Call 619-639-4606 15 minutes prior to talk to Erik. http://goo.gl/aFHTzJ
Enjoy this Erik story!
On Friday, December 9, I was listening to 'My Life After Death' (audiobook) and was delighted to hear that Erik likes to visit people on the other side of the world while his family sleeps. I live in Australia and was wondering if or when I might get pranked.
The very next morning I was making my usual cup of green tea when the tag started jumping around playfully by the side of the cup. Immediately Erik came to mind so I started talking out loud to him and test to see if it was really him. I covered the tea bag sheltering it from any breeze and it still kept dancing around. I then placed the cup on the kitchen counter and went off to the toilet in complete awe of what had just occurred. As I proceeded to sit on the throne I noticed the light on the digital scales had turned on! Where's the privacy Erik!? LOL.
On Sunday, December 11, I was floating around in our swimming pool feeling grateful for all that is when I noticed a bright orange dragonfly doing a hand stand on the side of the pool looking directly at me. My husband noticed it too, and we were both fascinated by the brightness of the colour and how long it was staying in the one spot but we didn't think anything of it. That is until the next morning when I was listening to the part in the book about Erik and orange dragonflies – I got goose bumps all over! I later jumped on the blog and to my jaw-dropping amazement was greeted with a picture of an orange dragonfly and the 'Dragonflies, Frogs and More' story which was dated November 11! Confirmation enough for me – thanks Erik and thanks Elisa for all the work that you do 🙂

Plumeria blooms are often treated as free, natural ornaments in Hawaii, picked from branches and stuck behind the ear like a gift from Mother Nature. But a federal judge in California has found that a Honolulu jeweler's design for plumeria jewelry is anything but free for the taking.
In what the lawyers for both sides described as an unusual decision, U.S. District Judge Consuelo Marshall has ordered a California jewelry maker to pay $2.3 million in damages to Denny Wong, owner of Cosmos Jewelry Ltd., which makes gold and silver jewelry using a distinctive stylized plumeria designed by Wong.
An attorney for defendant Po Sun Hon Co. said yesterday that he plans to seek to have the judge's ruling amended or to seek a new trial. Even if the judge's findings were correct, said Po Sun Hon's attorney John Yates, the judge erred in basing her award on all of Po Sun Hon's jewelry sales for four years, and not simply on profit from sales of plumeria designs.
"The judge clearly made a mistake there," said Yates, a lawyer with the firm of Berman, Mausner & Resser in Los Angeles.
In fact, Yates said, even if the plaintiffs were correct, the damages should have been about one hundredth what they were, or about $26,103. That, Yates said, was the amount of profit that Po Sun Hon made from the sale of the copycat plumeria jewelry.
Wong's lawyer, Rod Berman, said the judge had simply awarded Wong for infringement of an original design that had developed a following among tourists and locals who avidly collect Wong's pieces.
"Once in a while a jewelry designer will come up with something that just catches on, and this is one of those," said Berman, who is a lawyer with the firm of Jeffer, Mangels, Butler & Marmaro in Los Angeles.
One thing both attorneys agreed on is that the ruling was unusual because of the way Marshall reached her conclusion. At issue were the designs of the little flowers, made of yellow gold, whose petals were sandblasted to give the appearance of softness and whose edges were polished to accentuate the distinctive curl at the edge of the natural plumeria blossoms.
Although Po Sun Hon's plumeria were similar to Wong's copyrighted design, Marshall ruled that Po Sun Hon's design was different enough that it did not infringe on Wong's copyright.
Instead the judge ruled that Po Sun Hon had committed "trade dress" infringement. Trade dress refers generally to the total image and design of something. In ruling against Po Sun Hon, Marshall determined that the designs were enough like Wong's to create confusion in the marketplace.
Berman said the easiest example of trade dress would be Coca-Cola's distinctive bottle, which he pointed out almost anyone would recognize and associate with Coke. In a memorandum supporting her ruling, the judge wrote that the overall design of the knock-off plumeria bore such a resemblance to Wong's design that even some jewelry store owners had been confused.
Berman said he was not aware of any other jewelry design being protected under trade dress.
The ruling does not mean designers can't make any types of gold plumeria jewelry; it simply pertains to knock-offs of the Wong design.
The recent suit is not the first legal battle Wong has initiated to protect his flower from design pirates. An earlier federal suit against Hung's Jewelry Inc. was settled in 2002 after three years of litigation in Honolulu, Berman said.
Wong said he is pleased with the result of the Po Sun Hon case.
"We did what we had to do and prevailed in the end," he said.
But, he added, the campaign to protect his intellectual property isn't over.
"This is our second case now," he said. "But we still have people doing the same thing."

Lincoln has some positive history with the New York Auto Show. In 2015, Ford's luxury brand unveiled its Continental concept car, and then in 2016, it repeated the move with its Navigator concept.
The Continental is now Lincoln's flagship sedan, reviving a storied automotive nameplate. We checked it out and were impressed.
The Navigator is just as important — it was the first luxury SUV, hitting the streets in the 1990s. It's large and in charge, and in 2016 Lincoln showed it as a spectacular yacht-like concept, complete with massive gull wing doors.
What was a concept is a reality. The gullwing doors are gone. But the big Lincoln is still a sight to behold. We saw it at an event right before the 2016 New York Auto Show kicked off.
Have a closer look:
Get the latest Ford stock price here.
The Navigator concept followed the Continental concept, which was one of the stars of the 2015 New York Auto Show.
'Quiet luxury is both a look and a feeling,' Kumar Galhotra, Lincoln's president, said in a statement. 'The all-new Navigator embodies both. The sleek styling, spacious interior and technology are all designed to make each trip effortless.' Galhotra has overseen the 'quiet luxury' rebranding of the marque.
The new Navigator creates the same impressive, road-ruling impression as its predecessor. Power comes from a 3.6-litre V6 that Lincoln estimates will generate 450 horsepower and 500 foot-pounds of torque, essential for towing.
Lincoln actually consulted with anthropologists to determine what its customers wanted. One of those things was obviously a good amount of rear-seat legroom. But so was a high level of luxury. 'When designing the Navigator, we put an emphasis on ultra-luxury touch points,' David Woodhouse, Lincoln's design director, said. 'We took everything the client would see and touch, and made sure it would look and feel a little more exuberant, a little more indulgent and incredibly beautiful.'
Lincoln is taking luxury to a new level with what it calls 'Black Label options.' According to the company, this is 'an exclusive collection of interior design themes and materials, plus a host of membership privileges.'
Tech is abundant, right down to the seats. 'Perfect Position Seats' for the driver and front passenger 'can be adjusted up to 30 different ways,' Lincoln said. Ford's SYNC 3 infotainment system is in the house, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto available. There's also a specially designed 20-speaker Revel Ultima audio system and six USB ports, four 12-volt power outlets, and a 110-volt outlet for device charging.

But where stress rightly deserves a bad name is in its relentless, negative and punitive form. If you are reading this at work, look no further than around you for perfect examples of this: that neighbour of yours, perched on the front of his chair, leaning forwards, hunched over his screen in a best attempt to juggle the endless conflicts of professional deadlines, forgetting about the need to drink water, the right time for a snack or lunch away from the desk, the need to get up and exercise – now you are staring at stress as the killer!
The trouble is that we have in effect lost the plot: initially designed as hunters-gatherers with the odd (arguably positive) stress of running out of the way of a charging sabre-toothed tiger, we have deemed it smart, over the last 250 years, to grow far richer than ever before by sitting immobile, and attending to a limited set of tasks all day long – it's working for our wallets, but not for our bodies!
Let us draw from this portrait of "modern (wo)man at work" the sorry short-list of what is happening to our poor bodies, initially designed for a very different purpose:
- Legs folded under a chair hindering blood circulation beneath the knee, with shortened muscles rendered vulnerable to a sudden burst of effort – running to catch that bus, turning up and playing your weekly five-a-side football without really warming up…
- Pelvis squashed in the depths of the chair, compressing and cutting blood supply to our reproductive organs, irritating bladders, prostates and the lower part of our digestive tract;
- Digestive tract and abdomen squashed by a hunched ribcage, fighting to coax enough blood supply to serve the demands of digestion and absorption, and struggling to allow "peristalsis" - the rhythmic movement of the digestive system processing digesting foods;
- Diaphragm, heart and lungs all fighting the pressure put on them by the protracted posture and "hunched ribcage" to breathe deeply and pump blood supply around the body; and
- Neck overextended and compressed, resulting in poor blood supply to the brain – can you relate to that dozing, light-headed, headachy feeling after a few hours at work?
At Bridge to Health, we are not deluded enough as to think we can revolutionise the workplace so that it can't cause this damage – although we do view the advent of the standing desk and technology encouraging "mobile work" with great favour. Rather we strive to use our unique mix of clinical skills to help our clients manage and improve physical and mental health working around the constraints of modern office ergonomics, by…
- Providing periodic osteopathic, acupuncture and/or massage treatment aimed at countering the postural biases described above, minimising body tissue strain and encouraging better muscle tone and health;
- Providing exercise advice in the workplace – click here to be taken to our exercise videos (password: flex) – and at home - click here to be taken to our exercise videos (with password: flex) – to improve the body's passive resilience to the effects of sitting at a desk all day;
- Providing nutritional advice that assess the physiological impact of stress and suggests appropriate strategies to nourish the body; minimises tiredness, dehydration and variations of energy levels throughout the day, and maintains higher concentration levels;
- Providing counselling and lifestyle advice to improve the ability to field and manage manifestations of stress at work, and a greater "psychological immunity" to its effects; and
- Providing corporate workshops on effective holistic approaches to stress management in the workplace.

Coexist or perish, new wildfire analysis says: Changing wildfire paradigm from fighting to coexistence
November 5, 2014 University of California – Berkeley
An international team of fire experts have concluded that it is time to stop fighting fires and instead develop strategies to live with fire. In many areas, fire management is difficult or impossible, and interferes with fire's key role in the ecosystem. Instead, we should develop zoning & building codes and evacuation protocols to allow people to live with fire, just as we now live with earthquake and tornado hazards.
Many fire scientists have tried to get Smokey the Bear to hang up his "prevention" motto in favor of tools like thinning and prescribed burns, which can manage the severity of wildfires while allowing them to play their natural role in certain ecosystems. But a new international research review led by the University of California, Berkeley, says the debate over fuel-reduction techniques is only a small part of a much larger fire problem that will make society increasingly vulnerable to catastrophic losses unless it changes its fundamental approach from fighting fire to coexisting with fire as a natural process.
The paper, "Learning to Coexist with Wildfire," to be published in the Nov. 6 issue of the journal Nature, examines research findings from three continents and from both the natural and social sciences. The authors conclude that government-sponsored firefighting and land-use policies actually encourage development on inherently hazardous landscapes, amplifying human losses over time. "We don't try to 'fight' earthquakes — we anticipate them in the way we plan communities, build buildings and prepare for emergencies. We don't think that way about fire, but our review indicates that we should," said lead author Max Moritz, Cooperative Extension specialist in fire at UC Berkeley's College of Natural Resources. "Human losses will only be mitigated when land-use planning takes fire hazards into account in the same manner as other natural hazards, like floods, hurricanes and earthquakes." The analysis looked at different kinds of natural fires, what drives them in various ecosystems, the ways public response to fire can differ, and the critical interface zones between built communities and natural landscapes. The authors found infinite variations on how these factors can come together. "It quickly became clear that generic one-size-fits-all solutions to wildfire problems do not exist," Moritz said. "Fuel reduction may be a useful strategy for specific places, like California's dry conifer forests, but when we zoomed out and looked at fire-prone regions throughout the Western United States, Australia and the Mediterranean Basin, we realized that over vast parts of the world, a much more nuanced strategy of planning for coexistence with fire is needed."
Planning for co-existence
If humans choose to live in fire-prone regions, fire must be managed on par with other naturally occurring hazards, the authors argue, and research must seek to understand what factors and outcomes we can and cannot affect.
One common tool is applicable to the vast array of ecological and social science interactions at the critical wildfire/urban interface: more effective land-use planning, along with the regulations that guide it.
The authors recommend prioritizing location-specific approaches to improve development and safety in fire-prone areas, including:
- Adopting new land-use regulations and zoning guidelines that restrict development in the most fire-prone areas;
- Updating building codes, such as requiring fire-resistant construction to match local hazard levels and encouraging retrofits to existing ignition-prone homes;
- Implementing locally appropriate vegetation management strategies around structures and neighborhoods;
- Evaluating evacuation planning and warning systems, including understanding situations in which mandatory evacuations are or are not effective;
- Developing household and community plans for how to survive stay-and-defend situations; and
- Developing better maps of fire hazards, ecosystem services and climate change effects to assess trade-offs between development and hazard…..
The authors underscore that wildfires are a natural part of many ecosystems and can have a positive long-term influence on the landscape, despite people labeling them as "disasters." They can stimulate vegetation regeneration, promote a diversity of vegetation types, provide habitat for many species and sustain other ecosystem services, such as nutrient cycling.
Around the world, the numbers, sizes, and intensities of fires vary greatly. In some ecosystems, big, severe wildfires are natural events and more climate-driven — by drought or high winds — so fuel reduction is not a very effective tool in these locations. By contrast, many ecosystems that would naturally experience frequent lower-severity fires may respond to vegetation management aimed at both reducing fire hazard to humans and restoring crucial ecosystem processes. But, the authors agree, where fuel reduction is an appropriate goal, it would ideally be achieved by letting wildfires do their job.
A changing climate will complicate management strategies. "How should future fire patterns compare to this historical variability? That's the big question," Moritz said. Describing wildfire as "one of the most basic and ongoing natural processes on Earth," the authors call for a paradigm shift in the way society interacts with it, changing to an approach that achieves long-term, sustainable coexistence that benefits the planet's ecosystems on the landscape scale, while minimizing catastrophic losses on the human scale. "A different view of wildfire is urgently needed," said Moritz. "We must accept wildfire as a crucial and inevitable natural process on many landscapes. There is no alternative. The path we are on will lead to a deepening of our fire-related problems worldwide, which will only become worse as the climate changes."

KANSAS CITY, KAN. — Two defendants who were arrested after their meth lab caught fire were sentenced Thursday to federal prison, U.S. Attorney for Kansas Stephen McAllister said.
Orlando Cortez-Nieto, 43, Kansas City, Kan., and Jesus Cervantes-Aguiler, 23, Kansas City, Kan., were sentenced to 20 years each.
During a jury trial in July 2019, the defendants were convicted on charges that included conspiracy and possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.
During trial, prosecutors presented evidence that on Dec. 1, 2017, firefighters responded to a house fire at 2739 Cleveland in Kansas City, Kan. They discovered a methamphetamine conversion lab inside the house. Prosecutors introduced evidence tying the defendants to the drug lab, including a blue spiral notebook in which cash transactions were recorded, as well as business surveillance video showing a defendant buying items found in the meth lab.
McAllister commended the Drug Enforcement Administration, Assistant U.S. Attorney Kim Flannigan and Assistant U.S. Attorney Trent Krug for their work on the case.

We spent the morning of this Earth Day at Legoland Florida, which also happens to be the former Cypress Gardens. The gardens are still there, and they're an extraordinary and lush area at the park that includes a very special tree.
The banyan tree in the park was planted nearly 80 years ago, imported from India by Dick Pope, creator of the gardens, according to the park. It's a staggering structure that looks like science fiction, but it's a real organism impossibly spreading its branches horizontally in every direction. It's awesome to see what nature can do.
Human beings generally do recognize nature as a powerful force, though it often takes a disaster to remind us how awesome it is. Earthquakes, hurricanes and tornados serve as deadly notification that we're not as durable as we think. These relatively quick but powerful reminders command respect, but it turns out that we can certainly leave our mark on nature as well, with only more subtle, long-term consequences.
Climate change is real, and we're doing it. Scientific consensus doesn't come easy, but this is a settled issue. Political opinion won't stop it. You don't have to take my word for it, go read. The window of opportunity to change course or at least mitigate the damage is closing. Even the US military declares it an issue of national security.
When I was growing up, the 90's made recycling a necessary and fundamental part of our life. People resisted at first, but the cost of not recycling became a real monetary concern for everyone. Really clever government, like the county where I lived, built a processing facility that sorted the garbage from the recyclables for you. In the end, the responsible thing to do lined up pretty well with the right fiscal thing to do.
Converting to clean energy to reduce carbon output and mitigate climate change is going to be a little harder and take a little longer, because the fiscal impact isn't as obvious yet. It's getting there though, starting with rising insurance premiums for coastal property. High tide is causing flooding already on coastal cities, especially in places like Miami-Dade County in Florida. Living near a coal-burning power plant is a known health risk. Oil itself is a destabilizing commodity at the root of expensive war and conflict globally. Droughts are forcing migration and the closure of farms.
The great thing about this situation is that the technology to solve these energy problems exists today. Photovoltaic cells are plunging in price. Wind turbines are getting easier to build. Energy storage and distributed generation is now powering entire islands in the Pacific. Electric vehicles are getting cheaper and cover 99% of most people's driving use cases. We are on the brink of an extraordinary transition.
That banyan tree is a beautiful reminder of what nature is capable of. It reminds us that nature needs and deserves our respect. Every day should be Earth Day. We have an obligation to our kids to leave them a planet that doesn't suck, so why not work on that today? We already have the ability... now let's find the will.
