The increasing imperative of cross-disciplinary research in tax administration
Access Status
MetadataShow full item record
National research agendas are focusing increasingly on encouraging cross-disciplinary research collaboration. Research into tax administration should provide a natural context for cross-disciplinary research as it operates at the intersection of several disciplines. However, there is little evidence of cross-disciplinary research in tax administration beyond research into tax compliance and tax evasion. This article argues that such research will provide significant benefits to research output and impact. It provides examples of the benefits in developing frameworks for and measures of good practice in tax administration..

Tools for all 3 recipes:
Cookie Sheet
Tin Foil
Medium Sauce Pan
2 Medium Mixing Bowl
Grill Pan or Grill
Ingredients for Ribs:
1 Cut of Pork Ribs
1 C Brown Sugar
1 C Ketcup
1/4 C Mustard
1Tbs Garlic Salt
2tsp Red Pepper Flake
2tsp Cyanne Pepper
2tsp Ground Chipotle Pepper
2tsp Oregano
Pre-Heat oven to 170°F or the lowest it can go. In one mixing bowl combine the dry rub together. That consists of 1/2 cup brown sugar and half of all the spices. Mix until combined. Cover the cookie sheet with the tin foil and place the ribs on it. Then rub the dry rub onto the ribs until completely covered. Place in oven for 1 hour.
While in the oven baking, make the wet sauce. Combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 cup ketcup, 1/4 cup mustard, and the remaining spices. Whisk until combined. After the hour is done turn up the heat to 200°F and baste half of the wet sauce onto the ribs. Cook for 2 hours.
Then turn up the heat to 275°F for the last remaining 3 hours and baste 1/4 of the remaining sauce onto the ribs(the rest will be used on the grilled corn). Once done, let ribs rest for 15 minutes for the juices to settle and for them to cool to eating temperature.
Ingredients for Baked Beans:
1 Large Can Store Bought Baked Beans
1/4 C Brown Sugar
2Tbs Mustard
1tsp Garlic Salt
1tsp Red Pepper Flake
2Tbs Ketcup
Place beans into medium sauce pan on medium. Add all the other ingredients and mix until combined. Simmer for 20 minutes.
Ingredients for Grilled Corn:
4 ears of corn, shucked
1/4 Barbeque sauce(Wet sauce for ribs)
1Tbs Canola Oil
Heat up grill pan to medium high heat with the 1Tbs of oil in the pan. Add the corn to the grill. Be careful some kurnels can pop. Grill each side for 2 minutes. Once the ear of corn is cooked, baste the corn with the sauce then grill for a minute on each side.
Then all you have to do is enjoy the wonderful barbeque meal. I prepare the corn two ways, one I cut off the cob after grilling for my husband and son. Then for myself I just left it on the cob.

I Am Not Kidding, Lose Weight For Real
Losing weight can be one of the hardest things to do in your life. It can be also be frustrating because there are so many choices out there. When you feel overwhelmed, it's best to stick to tried and true methods of losing weight. Here are some great ways to get the weight off.
Avoiding soda is an easy way to lose weight without reducing food intake. Water is the best substitute, but milk, juice, and other natural, healthy choices are also important. Reducing the amount of sugar and calories you consume by avoiding soda and other unhealthy drinks will greatly supplement any weight loss effort.
If you're trying to lose weight, a balanced vegetarian diet may be an option for you. Some people find that a vegetarian diet forces them to make healthier choices during meal times. However, beware of consuming too many carbohydrates! Keep your pasta and bread intake moderate, otherwise you'll miss out on the benefits of a vegetarian diet.
Being part of a support group can keep you from feeling alone when losing weight. If you have friends or family who are working on weight loss at the same time, talk to them about it for motivation. You can also join an online support group. You can trade stories, gain inspiration, give others inspiration, and learn new things by hearing the successes and failures of others.
Eating breakfast is essential if you want to lose weight and stay trim. Many people believe skipping breakfast will help them lose weight, but they are wrong. It may cut back on calories at first, but skipping breakfast can cause serious cravings by lunch time. You may even be tempted to have a mid-morning snack that you really would prefer to do without.
If you want to effortlessly start eating healthier, try to minimize the quantity of dressings you use. Nutritionists recommend dipping your fork in a separate container of dressing and then picking up a bite of salad. This way, you still taste the delicious dressing, without pouring it all over the salad and completely saturating it. By doing this, you can still enjoy your salad without sacrificing its overall healthiness.
Start your day off with exercise and weight loss can be easy. Don't wait until you've got the stress of the day weighing on you; wake up, do a workout, and start the day from there. That way you can't complain that you don't feel well and can't exercise, or that you are just too busy.
Do small bursts of exercise throughout the day as part of your weight loss strategy. Most people do not have time to spend an hour at the gym. It is much easier to take a walk at lunch, park far away from the doors at the store or take the stairs. These mini workouts all count in your goal towards fitness and help you to lose the pounds.
A great weight loss tip is to move around constantly. Even if you aren't doing much, studies have shown that people who can't keep still tend to be thinner. Therefore, you should take every opportunity to move. If you are sitting at a computer for hours, stand up and walk around every hour or so.
Try building yourself up when you are first starting your diet. Start by eliminating certain foods from your diet or reducing them. Then make a list of exercises that you will be preforming and make a schedule of when and where you will be doing them slowly and gradually.
One of the best and most effective ways to keep yourself motivated is to regularly document your progress, even if it is slower than you'd like. Once or twice per month, jot down the results of your body measurements, BMI, or bench press and compare them against your end goal. This holds you accountable and provides the motivation needed to reach your goal.
Walking is a lot better for you than you may think if your goal is to lose those stubborn pounds of body fat. Not only does the exercise help you to burn calories, but the oxygen you take in from walking outside will also allow your body to become a literal fat-burning machine and melt that fat away efficiently.
To add flavor to your food without adding fat and calories, you should introduce yourself to new spices. Try to keep your spice rack full of different spices so that you can try different flavors to find what you enjoy the most. You can also try growing your own spices in the window of your kitchen.
When shopping for groceries, try to limit your shopping to the outer aisles. Fruits, vegetables, meats, and other fresh deli goods are nutritious and can be found here. Processed foods with little nutrients are usually found in the aisles of the store. By avoiding these aisles, you also avoid the temptation!
Improve your lifestyle to lose weight. A planned diet and some exercise, do not make a difference if you still eat junk food, drink, have poor sleep or smoke on a regular basis. How you treat yourself, can make the difference between gaining a few pounds and losing a great deal of weight.
Losing A Pound A Day occasionally requires minor detective skills. Pay close attention to the nutritional value and ingredients in foods and beverages, even if you think you have a good idea of what you'll find. As much as possible, avoid consuming anything that contains trans-fats or corn syrup, which induces the body to store more calories as fat and has been linked to problems with the liver, heart, and stomach.
Enlisting your friends or family for support makes weight loss goals easier to achieve. Having a diet buddy makes you accountable to someone other than yourself, and you'll have someone to encourage you if you're in a slump. Additionally, if the people around you know that you're serious about your weight loss, they'll be less likely to tempt you by offering you treats or dinners out.
Weight loss can be challenging for everyone, but using tips like these can make it a little easier. These tips can be a good foundation for your weight loss, as well as help you see results that motivate you to keep going. Weight loss may not be easy but it is certainly worth it.

|Vershinin and Masha share a private moment.
I enjoyed watching the opening weekend of performances . . . it felt good to finally sit back and view the show as an audience member rather than as a director. It's difficult to completely remove myself from that role, of course, but it does help that I'm no longer scribbling notes in the dark, looking for things to "fix." Handing the show off completely to a crackerjack stage manager, run-crew, and dedicated group of actors is everything I could ask for. It's the golden, yet bittersweet, moment directors work for. There's that point where I have to step back completely and say, "They don't need me anymore." (Fly little birds, fly! - I often joke to myself.) Bittersweet - always.
|Tuzenbach expresses his undying devotion to Irina.
While Chekhov suggests how the story develops between the scenes we see, we never actually do know how Masha and Kulygin interact when they are alone together, what Tuzenbach is like when he is not attempting to woo Irina, or even what Vershinin's unhappy wife is truly like. In true realism fashion, we are presented with an impression and then given the burden of responsibility to accept that human beings and relationships are far more complicated that anything we can see in two hours upon a stage. This is part of the brilliance of Three Sisters. We witness the changes in the characters and are left to assume how they got there. It's like attempting to piece together the full account of someone's life based solely upon a few random Facebook posts.
|"If only we knew. If only we knew."
One of my favorite acting teachers once said, "We go to the theatre to watch people go on journeys that we are too afraid to go on ourselves." I have certainly enjoyed this journey as I have gotten to know the Prozorovs for nearly a year now. I hope that in this second weekend of performances their journey will resonate with the audiences who have yet to see it.

Study Claims Depression Can Be Contagious
Depression is serious and millions of Americans battle depression daily. Did you know that it's possible that depression could be triggered by being around others who are depressed? A recent study says it's possible according to Yahoo.
A recent study by psychological scientists Gerald Haeffel and Jennifer Hames from the University of Notre Dame suggests that university students who live together can pass on their depression, through a mental process known as "cognitive vulnerability."
"Our study demonstrates that cognitive vulnerability has the potential to wax and wane over time depending on the social context," the researchers writein their paper.
Cognitive vulnerability-- a term used to describe a particular world view where people assume stressful life events are out of their control and occur because of their own deficiency -- is a significant risk factor for depression, the researchers say. Experiencing cognitive vulnerability makes individuals more likely to experience a depressive episode in the future, even if they have never had a depressive episode before.
The researchers hypothesized that cognitive vulnerability might be "contagious" during major life transitions, when our social environments are in flux.
To test their idea, they followed 103 randomly assigned roommate pairs, all of whom were in their first year of university.
"Freshmen are an ideal sample for testing the hypotheses because they are experiencing a major life transition that involves a significant change to their social environment, are at the peak age for developing depression and can be randomly assigned to a roommate," the researchers write.
The participants completed an online questionnaire that measured cognitive vulnerability and depressive symptoms at the one-, three- and six-month mark. They also recorded any stressful life events at the three- and six-month mark.
The results reveal that those who had a roommate with high levels of cognitive vulnerability were likely to "catch" their roommate's cognitive style and also develop higher levels of cognitive vulnerability. The effects were evident at both the three-month and six-month mark.
"Our findings suggest that it may be possible to use an individual's social environment as part of the intervention process [to treat depression]," the researchers write.
Being around others that are in various moods can effect you and we've seen that before. But depression being contagious? What do you think?

GuitarTown guitar – "IRIDIUM"
The name of my guitar design is "Iridium" named after the Manhattan jazz club that Les Paul played at for many years. The design I created is both abstract and metaphorical. It's inspiration comes from the colors and shapes that form in my mind when applying a design to what I hear when listening to the sounds of Les Paul and the musicians he taught, and the ones who played his guitars. The spiraling ellipses in the design reference the path a guitar string follows when struck.
Guitar Front & Back:
Both the front and back of the guitar are pointillist elliptical paths in deep blues, greens, aquamarines, warm gold's and russets. The colors are borrowed from a painting my father , Bill Taylor, did in the 1960's which always seems to represent to me a colorful example of where music was in an era that introduced new ideas in design and music.

Entering data and filling out forms on mobile devices kind of sucks. Because of this, you generally want to put as much of the burden of data entry on yourself—the developer—as you can, and as little on the end user as possible. For example, registration forms with 10 input fields are likely to annoy users far more than those with only 2 input fields… or one… or even none (auto-fill the email and auto-generate a password!).
Having said that, there are a number of very fair use cases that require a lot of user input, or complex user input, and have potentially nontrivial consequences. For example, customizing and ordering physical goods, scheduling bank transactions, or setting up a complex app (or operating system!) for the first time.
Key features
- Branching, or the ability for wizard steps to influence the availability of later steps
- Allowing the user to review before committing
- Allowing the user freeform navigation between wizard steps
- Support for required and optional steps
- Support for step classes (technically, each step is an instance of a Java class, so you can have multiple instances within the wizard)

The Way, Way Back is a decent directorial debut for Faxon and Rash, but amounts to little more than a run-of-the-mill addition to the coming-of-age genre.
In The Way, Way Back, we see the world through the eyes of ungainly 14-year old Duncan (Liam James). Our young protagonist is forced to spend the summer with his divorced mom Pam (Toni Collette), her overbearing boyfriend Trent (Steve Carell) and Trent's self-absorbed teenage daughter Steph (Zoe Levin) at Trent's beach house in Massachusetts. Duncan sneaks off to be alone as often as possible, since his home life has degenerated into one humiliating incident after another.
Life unexpectedly takes a turn for the better when Duncan wanders into the Water Wizz water park: a local amusement park that hasn't been renovated in over thirty years, according to the establishment's unambitious, yet roguish, manager Owen (Sam Rockwell). Owen takes Duncan under his wing, making him an employee and encouraging the young man to crawl out of his shell... even if it means he has to swim against the current in order for Duncan to (wait for it) make his own way in life.
The world of The Way, Way Back is populated by stock characters and stereotypes, which is forgivable because the story is told from Duncan's perspective (i.e. we only see what he sees). Problem is, as Duncan comes of age and begins to develop a deeper understanding of the world, how the film portrays the people and conflicts around him doesn't evolve to an equal degree. Instead, the film's predictable plot developments confirm what Duncan previously believed to be true (but did not say out loud), rather than acknowledge that he did not see the whole picture.
In other words, the Way, Way Back script - written by directors Nat Faxon and Jim Rash (who also play supporting roles) - offers too much of a romanticized look at adolescence, good and bad parts alike. In addition, the film begins to draw parallels between Duncan preferring the artificiality of an outdated water park populated by his fellow outcasts (when the actual beach is much closer), and how several of the grown-ups in his life are willing to settle for faux-happy relationships, rather than face the scary alternative: being middle-aged and single. It's a good idea, yet that aspect of the story is left half-done (like the coming-of-age plot).
What ultimately saves The Way, Way Back from being total disappointment - and makes the movie funnier and more endearing than it could've been - is a great main cast. Steve Carell, as Trent, again demonstrates that he's as good (better?) at drama as comedy, bringing depth and a misguided paternal sense to a character that could've easily been a one-note jerk. Similarly, Collette makes the most out of her scenes to show the insecurity boiling underneath Pam's surface. Meanwhile, Rockwell charms and tosses out zingers with ease, yet handles the more serious moments involving Owen with equal grace.
James, as Duncan, is a bit of a vanilla protagonist, but that is partly intentional (he dresses and acts the role of a doofish teen boy almost too well). Rob Corddry and Amanda Peet play Trent's friends, but amount to little more than plot devices; the same goes for Levin as Steph and AnnaSophia Robb as Susanna, the girl next door that Duncan falls for (their performances are all fine, but the script lets them down). Meanwhile, Faxon and Rash play quirky Water Wizz park employees (the latter's a walking punchline); neither one is onscreen for long, but still feel a bit dispensable.
Maya Rudolph's character Caitlin - the responsible member of the Water Wizz staff - isn't onscreen for very long, but she does a good job at expressing why this lady would stick it out with the irascible Rockwell. However, the film's big scene-stealer is easily Allison Janney as Betty: Susanna's mother who is recovering from her divorce (which included her ex-husband coming out of the closet) by living out loud in every way possible. Similarly, her cross-eyed son Peter (River Alexander) is quite delightful in his few scenes, as a very likable young nerd.
Peter is constantly dismissed by his mother via snarky (not witty) dialogue, which calls back to the problems with the Way, Way Back screenplay. Thing is, it's not so much an issue that Faxon and Rash use a tried-and-true coming of age story formula - complete with all the expected character tropes and themes - the issue lies more with how they balance elements of humor and heart. The comedy has a bad tendency to feel more sarcastic than clever, which clashes with the rich and raw humanity brought to the proceedings by the cast.
Faxon and Rash won their Oscars for co-writing The Descendants with filmmaker Alexander Payne, but the flaws in their script for that movie were better smoothed over by Payne's direction. In Way, Way Back,Faxon and Rash's lack of experience as directors shows, which results in a film that is overall banal in terms of visual construction and editing. However, there are instances where the shot choices and camerawork become more creative (see: the opening sequence or water slide POV shots), and, all things considered, the cinematography is never too dull.
As a whole, The Way, Way Back is a decent directorial debut for Faxon and Rash, but amounts to little more than a run-of-the-mill addition to the coming-of-age genre (despite committed and charming performances by the cast). It may not be a film that you need to run out and see in the theater - unless you're suffering from summer blockbuster fatigue - but it's worth a look, when it become available to rent.
In case you're still undecided, here is The Way, Way Back trailer:
The Way, Way Back is 103 minutes long and Rated PG-13 for thematic elements, language, some sexual content and brig drug material. Now playing in limited release.

For admission to the College at Saint Constantine, you should have a solid college-prep background, including two years of algebra, one year of geometry, and two years of a foreign language. Additional work in humanities, mathematics, and foreign language is advised, as well as two or three years of natural science. We recommend taking the most challenging courses in your high school, whether AP, IB, or honors courses.
The College is test optional for most applicants, meaning we do not require standardized test scores. About 70% of our applicants still submit some form of test score, and they may prove helpful to your application. Some applicants are required to submit test scores:
- Home-schooled students are required to submit either SAT or ACT scores.
- Students that have not or will not receive a high school diploma must submit either SAT or ACT scores, as well as GED results, if available.
- International students who are not educated in English must submit SAT, ACT, TOEFL, or IELTS scores.
- International students who are currently educated in English may choose an interview instead of submitting testing.
Interviews are required in order to apply for admission to The College. Interviews allow our Admission Committee to get to know you better, and you will also have the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the college. You can request an interview during your campus visit, or via phone or video conference.
The College welcomes applications from home-schooled students. In addition to the general requirements noted above, home-schooled students should submit documentation of the following:
- High School graduation, a GED, or its equivalent
- SAT or ACT scores
- An outline of the curriculum you have followed, arranged in chronological order by conventional subject matter, with brief descriptions of the course content and texts used. This may take the form of a transcript.
Occasionally, the College accepts an applicant who has not graduated from high school. Students applying for such early admission should be well qualified to profit from the college program and must submit the results of a GED or its equivalent. SAT or ACT scores are also required. A campus visit and interview are especially important in such cases.

Factsheet: Memorial sites after 22 July
- In December 2011, the Stoltenberg II Government resolves to establish national memorial sites for the attacks of 22 July 2011, to be located on the island of Utøya (within Hole municipality) and in the Government Quarter in Oslo. The government establishes a steering group with a mandate to: 1) consider the content of the memorial sites; 2) present proposals for potential locations; and 3) present proposals for the process for establishing the memorial sites. Åse Kleveland is appointed to chair the steering group.
- 20 April 2012: The steering group presents its report to the Ministry of Culture. On the basis of the report, the government decides to establish two official memorial sites in honour of those who died, the survivors, members of the emergency services, and the volunteers who came to assist. One site will be on the mainland in Hole municipality looking out towards Utøya. The other site, in Oslo's government quarter, will initially take the form of a temporary memorial, which will be replaced by a permanent memorial site once construction work in the government quarter has been completed. The Utøya memorial site and the temporary Oslo memorial site will be completed on 22 July 2015.
- 30 July 2012: Public Art Norway receives an official commissioning letter from the Ministry of Culture and establishes an art committee. The committee consists of a representative of the National Support Group for Victims of the 22 July Attacks, a representative of the Labour party's youth section (AUF), a government-appointed representative, an architect, a representative of Statsbygg, and two art consultants from Public Art Norway.
- 19 November 2012: Initial meeting of art committee
- 4 April 2013: In light of the steering group's report, the government announces that the national memorial site in Hole municipality should be located at Sørbråten. The choice of location is announced by the then Minister of Government Administration and Church Affairs, Rigmor Aasrud.
- 19 June 2013: The art committee's art plan is approved by Svein Bjørkås, Director of Public Art Norway.

Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe Club Sport
This 1989 Porsche Carrera Coupe Club Sport has only covered a genuine total of 3000miles!
A truely impressive and rare car, only 340 of these (CS option M637) were ever produced.
We carried out an inspection and healthcheck including a run up on our dyno.
Impressively she produced 221.1bhp and 195.4lbft torque. Back in 1989 this engine came out of the factory with 231bhp, so overal marginal loss over the years just goes to show how well looked after this example is.

Alzheimer's disease is a frightening battle for anyone to face, both those who suffer from it and the loved ones who support them. One of the many difficult symptoms of the disease is the loss of memory we associate with it. The Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs reports thatIsraeli scientists are working to improve memory in Alzheimer's patients by suppressing a protein with links to the disease:
Scientists from Israel report they have found a way to improve memory by manipulating PERK, a specific protein molecule known to function poorly in old age. PERK is known to be closely linked to Alzheimer's disease.
"We know that in Alzheimer's, PERK doesn't function properly," said Prof. Kobi Rosenblum, who heads the University of Haifa lab in which the research was done. "Our success in manipulating its expression without causing any harm to the proper functioning of the brain paves the way for improving memory and perhaps even slowing the pathological development of diseases like Alzheimer's..."
There was a clear correlation between memory function and the degree to which PERK was suppressed, too. The more efficiently PERK was suppressed, the better the memory function.
"The brain operates in a most sophisticated fashion, with each action closely linked to many other actions," said Ounallah-Saad. "In our study we succeeded in maintaining control of the PERK such that it didn't influence the retrieval of existing memories, or do any other cognitive damage."
Rosenblum explained that the study has proven it is possible to strengthen the process of protein synthesis in the brain and create stronger memories that last a long time.
"The moment we did this by manipulating a molecule that we know performs deficiently in people with Alzheimer's and is linked to the aging process, we paved the way for the possible development of drugs that can slow the progress of incurable diseases like degenerative brain conditions, Alzheimer's chief among them," said Rosenblum.

From British author Raymond (1931–94), the story of a nameless sergeant working for the Metropolitan Police's department of unexpected deaths who is sent to a country town to investigate the case of a missing woman.
The sergeant is a man of philosophical bent, who has a passion for justice, though not necessarily the law, and little patience for orders that don't suit him. The missing person is Marianne Mardy, a popular, vocally talented Frenchwoman, wife of a struck-off physician. Her disappearance was ignored by the police until someone wrote to the Chief Constable. A confrontational visit to the local cop shop convinces the sergeant that there's more than one bent copper in a town that seems as dangerous and depressed as the worst of London's slums. Dr. Mardy's residence is a moldering mansion that only Poe could love. Certain that Marianne has died, the sergeant passes up the distraught doctor for less obvious suspects and what turn out to be myriad villainous schemes. Pitiless and not above using force, he methodically digs up the dirt, exposing a savage story of undying love and boundless greed.
The third in Raymond's Factory series (The Devil's Home on Leave, 2007, etc.)—wonderfully wrought, violent and bleak, not for the faint of heart—plumbs the darkest depths of British noir.

text: KING-SIZED SKIM. An Internal Revenue Service agent testified in the trial of Don King in New York and said the boxing promotor owes the government $223,100 in back taxes. King and associate Constance Harper are alleged to have skimmed $1 million from Don King Productions and the pair are charged with 20 counts of tax evasion, conspiracy and filing false tax returns. According to testimony, during the three years in question, King reported personal income of $1,260,174 and paid $611,373 in taxes. The government calculates King's true income was $1,706,000 and that he should have paid a total of $834,473 in taxes.

The Federal Communications Commission has voted to reexamine a 1999 decision to set aside the 5.9 GHz wireless band specifically for connected car technologies. Regulators want to allow other wireless devices to use the band in order to ease congestion at high-use areas like airports and convention centers. But automakers claim opening up the band now could jeopardize years of work on car-to-car communication. The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, a trade group comprised of some 13 companies, has said the infant technology could be in danger if the federal government opens up the 5.9 GHz band now.
Automakers have been working to develop a system to allow cars on any given road to "talk" to each other to avoid accidents and reduce congestion, and developers fear allowing other devices to make use of the designated band could result in interference. But the FCC says that concern is overblown. Julius Genachowski, FCC chairman, says nearly every Wi-Fi band currently in use is also used by other services. Automakers will simply have to overcome that challenge just like other tech manufacturers.

Brian Giles' ex-wife stated in 2004 that the Padres outfielder and his former girlfriend, Cheri Olvera, had "several physical altercations" in front of the Gileses' children.
Giles "struck Cheri with his forearm while they were at the McDonald's drive-thru (in 2004)," Giles' ex-wife, Doddie, stated in a 2004 court declaration made under the penalty of perjury. "In November of 2004, during a heated argument, while the children and my nanny were staying with (Giles), (Giles) shoved Cheri off of the sofa so hard that she fell on the floor and left the room crying. This occurred in front of the children and was very upsetting for them."
Olvera filed a $10 million palimony lawsuit against him last year, saying she had a "marriage-like relationship" with him from from 2002 to 2008 but never married because of Giles' violence toward her.
Doddie Giles filed for divorce from Giles in October 2002 – after she said Giles became involved with Olvera. Olvera has accused Giles of several instances of abuse in her suit against him.
Giles has denied Olvera's allegations and has countersued her, saying it was she who abused him. Doddie Giles made her declaration as part of divorce and childcare proceedings in San Diego Superior Court involving their two children, now ages 7 and 8.
Doddie Giles' declaration marks a third source of corroboration concerning alleged violence by Giles against Olvera. In 2006, witnesses told police they saw Giles strike Olvera to the ground on their way out of a Phoenix bar – an incident that was partially captured on security video. Giles was required to complete anger-management counseling in exchange for the misdemeanor case being dropped. In January, a friend of Olvera testified she saw Giles pulling Olvera out of a car, pulling her by the hair and then nearly running her over in December 2007.
Brian Giles' attorney, James Scott, has said Olvera was after Giles' money. Giles states in his countersuit that Olvera refused to enter a prenuptial agreement in November 2007.
Doddie Giles stated in her declaration that Giles met Olvera in Houston, while their youngest daughter was in the intensive care unit of a San Diego hospital after her birth in the spring of 2002. She expressed concern about her children being around Olvera because "her judgment is questionable." No domestic violence is alleged in court between Brian and Doddie Giles.
Meanwhile, Scott has accused Olvera's attorney, Cary Goldstein, of making a "threat" that "if he were not paid $10 million, he would ruin Mr. Giles' name in the media." Scott stated in a court declaration that Goldstein contacted the Padres to put pressure on Giles to settle the case.
Goldstein denies making any threats.
"They are refusing any settlement discussions," Goldstein said.
Scott didn't immediately return a call seeking comment.Copyright © 2019, The San Diego Union-Tribune

Hydrothermal Conditions and the Origin of Cellular Life
Deamer et al
The conditions and properties of hydrothermal vents and hydrothermal fields are compared in terms of their ability to support processes related to the origin of life. The two sites can be considered as alternative hypotheses, and from this comparison we propose a series of experimental tests to distinguish between them, focusing on those that involve concentration of solutes, self-assembly of membranous compartments, and synthesis of polymers.

A Christmas Carol is a classic story about a man, Ebenezer Scrooge, who embarks on a journey exploring all facets of his past, present, and future life. Scrooge goes through a tremendous transformation that ends up saving his life. Scrooge begins the story as a person who does not believe in the Christmas spirit and ends up having as much or more than everyone else.
Ebenezer Scrooge is a miserable old man who believes that Christmas is just an excuse for people to miss work and for idle people to expect handouts. He doesn't believe in all of the good spirit and charity that the season promotes, and he isn't afraid to let everyone know. Scrooge was so cruel at times; he even made Bob Cratchit, an employee of Scrooge's, almost beg to have Christmas day off to spend with his family.
In the beginning of the story, Scrooge enters into a discussion with two upper-class men who are raising money for less fortunate people during the Christmas season. When they ask Scrooge if he was willing to donate money, he declines and says that they should go to either prison or union workhouses and fend for themselves. The two men stress that certain people would rather die than go to those places, and Scrooge smugly comments, "They had better do it and decrease the surplus population." (Dickens 10). At this point, Scrooge seems to be the epitome of antipathy and selfishness.
After Scrooge is visited by the four spirits (Jacob Marley, Christmas Past, Christmas Present, and Christmas Yet to Come), he realizes his fate if he doesn't change. Jacob Marley, Scrooge's dead old partner, comes to warn Scrooge to change his life to get off the track he...

This could be my low expectations talking, but I think "Midnight's Children" does about as well as possible by Salman Rushdie's landmark novel.
The book is so aggressively literary as to be almost unfilmable, beginning with its central conceit: The kids who were born at the stroke of midnight when India achieved independence share a collective conscience that is, essentially, the spirit of a new nation.
"Midnight's Children" follows two of them, Saleem and Shiva, who are switched at birth, leaving Saleem to be raised by wealthy parents and Shiva to a life of poverty.
Rushdie, who narrates the film with a gentle wit, seems to have found inspiration for both the themes and the overstuffed quality of his book in the work of Charles Dickens. Many of the characters from the novel have been jettisoned in the film, which zeroes in on what the switched-at-birth story reveals about the inconsistencies and struggles of India.
To really capture the book, "Midnight's Children" would need to be a miniseries, but the film, especially when it's setting up Saleem's history in the first half, swiftly encapsulates several generations of upheaval in India while also introducing us to a dozen or so vivid characters.
Not surprisingly, it's the magical realism of the book that does not fare well in the movie. The scenes in which a semi-dreaming Saleem communicates with the other children of midnight are awkwardly staged and acted, turning what should be crucial moments in the film into moments we grit our teeth and bear, hoping for more of the good stuff.
There's plenty of that here, though. Ambitious and beautiful, "Midnight's Children" is an honorable attempt to introduce this story to a new audience, and it builds to a conclusion that is every bit as moving as the one in the book.
Directed by: Deepa Mehta
Starring: Satya Bhabha, Shriya Saran
Should you go? Sure. A miniseries might have been able to knock this story out of the park, but the movie is a solid double. ***

See? I warned you:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed taking 72 hazardous chemicals off of its approved list of inert ingredients allowed for use in pesticides. . . .
But the inclusion of argon (AR)—a naturally occurring element and the third most abundant gas in the Earth's atmosphere—has left some people scratching their heads.
The hard truth is, we need to find ways to reduce our dependency on Big Air. In the meantime, make sure that any air you breathe is locally sourced, fair-trade, and free-range.

I just ended that one with the Hispanic boy. I'm always thinking,
sexually, mentally, physically, whatever, there's an end,
and that makes it less. Just less. Even if it's just
that one of you dies. It makes it less.
My last one, you know, he'd go down
stairs and play the piano, anytime he was happy,
or angry, or sad, or bored, or whatever, he'd go downstairs
to the piano, it was instead
of conversation. Which was fine,
because he was talented. He brought the baby
grand home from his parents.
Downstairs, the vibrations,
from that baby grand, were really something.
The neighbours were fine with the vibrations,
we got on well, both sides
and they just knew if he was playing the piano he was angry,
or happy, or sad, or bored, or whatever. You know pianos die,
eventually? You replace the hammers
and strings and keys and pedals, and the only thing left
is the shell. So economically, he brought the baby one
back from his parents. But no conversation, it took seventeen years
to figure that out. Well, ten. The other seven
I was just cruising. We stayed together
for the house depreciation. It was fine, he's talented,
that's part of the attraction. But a bad debt
is harder to get away from than a bad ex.
There's always an end. Sexually,
mentally, physically. Whatever.

"It appears to general observation, that revolutions create genius and talent; but these events do no more than bring them forward. There is, existing in man, a mass of sense lying in a dormant state, and which unless something excites it to action, will descend with him, in that condition, to the grave. As it is to the advantage of society that the whole of its facilities should be employed, the construction of government ought to be such as to bring forward, by quiet and regular operation, all that capacity which never fails to appear in revolution"--Thomas Paine.
Thomas Paine observed that the creative genius that appears to arise in revolutions is in fact there all the time, it just lies dormant. The question for a democratic society is: "How can we realize the talents of the masses without a bloody revolution?"
Writing at the time of near-absolute monarchy, Paine put forward the radical idea of representative democracy.
He thought that if we had broad geographical representation we would have a government that was accountable to the people. He has been proven wrong. We have elected elite, with the electorate reduced to election fodder, whose only function is to endorse one or more of near identical corporate controlled clones at election times, then fall back into silent apathy.
This is not a recent phenomenon. As early as the 1940s and 1950s, political commentators were observing the place of the electorate in a modern democracy. Seymor Lipset refers to 'the formation of a political elite in the competitive struggle for the votes of a mainly passive electorate' then went further 'the belief that a very high level of participation is always good for democracy is not valid'. Joseph Schumpeter emphasized the same point; voters 'must understand that, once they...

Thoughts for after...
Recently I've been having a think about what I'm doing after Uni. It's a scary thought really. Do I go home to the Island? Do I stay in Guildford? It's a tricky one...but after much consideration I've decided to return to the Kirby household on the Island.
From there I'll be making music most of the time, and will hopefully be able to get a part time job to support myself. :) I do like Guildford, but what makes me happy is being at home, close to my family, along with the lovely Island scenery and sense of community. I'm also hoping that I'll be able to take a course or two at the college there...just to pursue a few interests that have been put on hold whilst I've been at Uni.
But right now, the final semester is just about to start...the final push before the end of University education! It's all systems go. Soon I get my marks back for the first semester...I'll let you know when I know! *Fingers crossed they're ok*
Sending lots of love and virtual hugs to you through the computer screen! I hope you're good. :)
P.S - I haven't forgotten about the album cover song! - It's in progress - I've got the bare bones of the song written...I just need to record it. :)

Hi Holly, that's a really wise decision. Setting up your own household can be horrible to do in the modern world and the love \nd support of family cannot be overestimated.
Your marks will be fine. I forbid you to worry about it. Worry will make all those little lines begin to appear on your face and eventually theyt will begin to look like the Grand Canyons of Holly!
As to me being good...that is likely not going to happen, but if I can't be good I at least try to not get caught :)
love, hugs and smoochies right back to you

I will play the advocatus diaboli again: Creativity comes from difference. A going back into encountered circumstances is deadly. It's the line of least resistance you are going. Full stop!

Sounds like a great plan and I am happy to see the thought you put into everything. Like Tony said, do not even think about worrying about anything at all. The future has a way of taking care of it self, the past is gone and cannot be altered and, it is always today. 'Today' is never overwhelming in any real way. Remember to just live in it only. Dragging the past around needlessly can be disastrous, just as worrying about the future. It is always 'now'. And you will always be just fine. Sending you lots of love and prayers. :)

Your post doesn't really ask for comments, but as others commented, I will dare to do so, too.
I've been thinking for a long time that you might try to make a living with a little commercial music production (movies, theatres, advertising, ...) now and then, being a truly independent musician the rest of your time. You are so good at both parts of that plan. I was glad some time ago to learn that you actually pursue the first part already (and the second part anyway, I guess).
Concerning the devil's advocate, they might want to consider that people are not all the same. The important part is not to fall into monotony, but that can be done operating from a save harbour, too.

I step aside from the harsh advocatus diaboli position: Seems to be a good decision to stay on the Isle of Wight. It's a very nice place to live, not too much distractions. You have an established environment of friends, relatives and a lively art community. You have been very creative there.
On the other hand a little bit change of air shouldn't be false. France, Germany or even better Austria could offer new influences. Did you ever mention a time abroad?
The main reason for going this direction is a more philosophical one: It's the maxim: "You have to change your life". It's not a maxim coming from one person. It is a general human axiom, a kind of lifelong self-discipline advice or a call for self-improvement. A slight excessive demand is a necessary precondition for growing, getting stronger. Nietzsche said: "Was mich nicht umbringt, macht mich stärker".

I think returning to the Island for a time, if only for a year's sabbatical or whatever, is probably a good idea, Holly (you're still young enough to spread your wings again, and fly back to the mainland, if life's winds drive you that way in future ;)). And I do just want to add what a privilege it was to see you perform live on a couple of occasions in 2011, and to meet you again at the Tanita Tikaram gig at the Union Chapel in the autumn of that year; I cherish the memories :). You have a beautiful singing voice, and you're a talented songwriter, and I hope to see you (and your mum ;)) again at some point. On a personal note, I should add that I think being forced out of your comfort zone sometimes (or choosing to leave it!), is a great way of developing personality and character, but whatever path your life takes, my best wishes go with you on your journey :), take care, x

Impact of 3G auction on MTNL and BSNL
The 3G auction is finally underway and by the end of it the Government plans to rake in about Rs. 45,000 crore. While private telcos such as Airtel, Vodafone, Idea, Aircel, Reliance, Tata and others fiercely bid for the 3G spectrum and the price continues to rise, the question remains as to what will be its implications on MTNL and BSNL. Both these state-owned operators were given a head start by the government in the 3G space by allotting the required 3G spectrum, on the condition that each will have to pay an amount which will be equivalent to the highest bid in the respective service areas as and when the 3G auctions take place.
Now there are no prizes for guessing that both MTNL and BSNL have not exploited this opportunity as private players would have. Firstly there were months of delay between the announcement of the 3G service and the actual launch of the service by the duo. Post launch the services were not available in the entire service area and wherever available it was not consistent.
Now with the base price on the 13th day of the 3G auction reaching close to Rs. 7,900.48 crore, it will be no small feat for the state-owned operators to cough up such an amount.
The woes of these operators do not end here as they struggle to retain their existing subscriber leave alone adding newer ones. In addition, the sword of MNP (Mobile Number Portability) hangs over the duo as both have nothing much to boast about on the service front.
The 3G auction will have a greater impact on MTNL as it operates in two of the most lucrative telecom circles — Mumbai and Delhi. Private operators entering the 3G fray would not want to lose these circles, as a result the bid amount till date for these circles is the highest. According to news reports the bid amount for Delhi circle is currently at Rs. 1083.27 crore, while Mumbai's is at Rs 1,079.93 crore. These amounts, which add to Rs. 2163.2 crore is more than 10 times that MTNL's net profit for FY 2008-09, which was pegged at Rs. 211.72 crore.
If the collective bid amount of Rs. 2163.2 crore of Delhi and Mumbai's is deducted from the total — Rs. 7,900.48 crore — we get Rs. 5363.2 crore, an amount BSNL will have to cough up as the 3G license fee. This amount is more than 9 times that of BSNL's net profit for FY 2008-09, which was reported to be at Rs. 574.85 crore.
This does no paint a rosy a picture — either for MTNL or BSNL. Also with the entrant of the newer players in every circle, the profits of every existing operator have taken a beating.
Another concern for MTNL and BSNL will be the severe price competition they will have to face on the 3G front once the winners of the bid are allotted the required spectrum. Even though both the operators have launched attractive 3G tariffs, it is only a matter of time to see how much they manage to succeed in this endeavor.
With this 3G auction both the state owned operators, which once prided themselves for offering low call rates, seem to be entering murky waters. Unless they pull up their socks and bring about a drastic change in their attitude towards customer satisfaction.

Hey all,
I'm a Dutch girl who is looking for an internship in the usa for next semester (february) and I have a question regarding to clothing. I'm pretty tall... 1.86 m which is according to a converting program 6.10 foot. and have a size 10 for female shoes.
In holland buying cloths takes me some searching but gives me no problem, but spain gave me very much trouble. So how is that in the usa?
I think the problem areas would be shoes, jeans or all other types of pants and blouses (if the arms are long enough) if it will be a problem i'm forced to buying more things here and letting it ship over. So your help is needed!!
ps (help for a nice internship position in marketing would be also very nice )

Yesterday evening I came out of my office later than usual, as I wanted to complete a model for some kind of simulations I've had in mind for a while but hardly found the time (and the right open-space conditions) to sketch it and write the code. Just before sunset the model behaved so fine that at the end of the simulation run, as I also said to the only colleague of mine still in office at that time, I was congratulating with myself. So I went out to reach the metro station in a complete state of euphoria.
When I reached Garibaldi station, half an hour later, I spotted a splendid coloring book ("The Enchanted Forest" by Johanna Basford) behind the windows of Feltrinelli library and, having some minutes before the train departure, I rushed in and took one copy for my daughter (of course I had to compensate this "kindness" by taking a book for my son as well). It's been some kind of self-rewarding act. Instead of making a gift to myself I had made it to the "next in queue".
When I woke up this morning my daughter had already perfectly lined up all her pencils on the desk and was ready to start her work. I saw that with her little fingers she was passing over and over the pencils as if she was deciding which hue to start from. So I asked her what was she doing and she replied: "I'm playing a colors' music".

I was going to write the next post, in this series, on solitude, but I just got back from meeting with a friend of mine who reminded me of the importance of spiritual direction in it's many forms.
He and I are roughly the same age, and (I would like to think) roughly in the same area of spiritual maturity. We talked for about an hour and a half telling our own stories, asking questions and listening to responses – both from each other, and from the Spirit of God.
My friend said something in the course of our time together that I know was from the Spirit. It was a word that spoke to my heart and my circumstances. It was a word that came from listening to me, and then listening to God, discerning where he was at work in me. He simply asked me a question, "Did I see any connection between this thing and that one? I hadn't, really, until then. But there it was as plain as day. And boy, did I need it.
Now, I won't go into details about what we were talking about, both because it was about my own personal circumstances, and because I don't need to for this to illustrate what I am talking about.
My friend had done what any good "soul friend", or spiritual director does.
1. Listen. Both to me, and to what the Spirit was pointing out.
2. Ask questions. Questions prompted by things I had said, asking for clarification, expansion, and connection.
3. Not have all the answers. And even if he thought he did have the answers, having the good sense not to share them, letting me come to see it myself, and then…
4. Let me think it through with God.
I need folks in my life like this. I need folks who know how to listen and discern where God is at work in me and around me. So do we all.
If you don't have someone like this in your life, stop whatever you're doing and find one. Pray that God will bring one into your life ASAP.
Yes, it really is that important. But don't take my word for it. Edward Sellner tells this story of St. Brigit,
A young cleric of the community of Ferns, a foster-son of Brigit's, used to come to her with dainties. He was often with her in the refectory to partake of food. Once after going to communion she strikes a clapper. "Well, young cleric there", says Brigit, "do you have a soul friend?". "I have", replied the young man. "Let us sing his requiem", says Brigit. "Why so?" asks the young cleric. "For he has died", says Brigit. "When you had finished half your ration I saw that he was dead". "How did you know that?" "Easy to say, (Brigit replies) from the time that your soul friend was dead, I saw that your food was put (directly) in the trunk of your body, since you were without any head. Go forth and eat nothing until you get a soul friend, for anyone without a soul friend is like a body without a head: is like the water of a polluted lake, neither good for drinking nor for washing. That is the person without a soul friend".

Our Magical Mystery Chimes feature a musical phenomenon known as "Octave Doubling".Here's how it works - you remember the Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do scale from the Sound of Music? The "Do" note that comes at the start and end of this scale are the same note, an octave apart. Notes separated by an octave are considered harmonically equivalent and "ring" together in a way that adds a pleasing sound to the music.Our Magical Mystery Chimes take this theory to the extreme - all the notes of the chime are matched with its "octave double". Never before used in windchimes, this special tuning creates a heightening of the harmonics, creating a song that must be heard to be believed.
Below is a comparison of our Magical Mystery Chimes.Click on the "Listen" hotlink to hear each chime.Click on the chime name or its picture for more information about that chime.
These chimes sound good together, as well. To hear them play at the same time, click each of the above listen buttons. The sound players will open in separate windows - you can pause and play them as much as you like!

|Zojirushi NP-HBC18 10-Cup (Uncooked) Rice Cooker and Warmer with Induction Heating System, Stainless Steel
|Retail Price: Varies based on product options
|Amazon Price: View Sale Price
Another reason why I love my Zojirushi NP-HBC18 so much is how easy it is to use. The rice cooker is really simple to use, all that needs to be done is add food and water to the rice cooker, select the correct settings and press start, the machine does all of the rest. Even better is that Zojirushi rice cookers have already made a name for themselves and this model more than lives up to the expectations of the name. I knew when I purchased this model that I was going to get a high quality product and I wasn't disappointed.
- Induction and Micro-Computer Technology – This model uses both induction heating and micro-computer technology to deliver perfect rice every time it is used. The induction heating is great because it helps deliver even heating throughout the unit, which ensures nothing is under or overcooked. The micro-computer technology aids in making perfect rice because it automatically adjusts the cooking time and temperature based on the settings chosen and how much food is inside the inner pot.
- Can select how white rice is cooked – When it comes to cooking white rice, some people prefer it to be softer than regular, while others enjoy it a bit crunchier. The Zojirushi NP-HBC18 gives people the option of selecting how they want their white rice cooked, which allows people to customize their rice. I for one opt for the regular setting because that is how I enjoy my rice.
- Warm Settings – Like other Zojirushi models, this one comes with the keep warm setting and the extended keep warm setting. The keep warm setting is great for keeping rice warm hours after it has been cooked, even better is that once the rice is done cooking it automatically switches over to the keep warm setting. The extended keep warm setting can be used to keep the rice and its ideal temperature even longer than the keep warm setting.
- Easy To Clean – I truly love how easy this thing is to clean. The exterior of the rice cooker is stainless steel, but the best part is it doesn't show fingerprints or even smudges. Unlike other rice cookers there isn't a lot of steam being produced, so no worrying about water runoff on the outside of the rice cooker. Clean up is as simple as a warm soapy washcloth along the outside of the rice cooker.
- Takes longer to cook – Rice, even white rice, takes a bit longer to cook using this rice cooker. My older rice cookers would have the rice cooked in about 20 minutes, but this one can take up to 45 minutes to cook simple white rice. However, while this is a nuisance all I had to do was adjust my habits to compensate for the extra time, and it is worth the wait because the rice is so good.
The Zojirushi NP-HBC18 rice cooker is the perfect choice for larger families, but will also work for smaller families. The rice cooker cooks a minimum of one cup of rice, using one of the two rice cookers that came with the unit. Although this is one of the most expensive rice cookers on the market it is well worth the price due to the amazing rice it cooks.
Price Alert: Currently Amazon.com is offering free shipping and a generous 28% discount for the Zojirushi NP-HBC18 10-Cup Rice Cooker and Warmer with Induction Heating System. This is a massive savings of $108.00 from the usual retail price so be sure to take advantage of this offer.

I was born one day to the sunny sky;
The light was quite a surprise.
My mother fed me and kept me warm,
While I was small in size.
I had a brother, close to my age,
To play with every day.
A feeling of fun I learned,
Made me happy in every way.
The days went on and I got older;
Winter rose before my eyes.
I felt cold and numb at night,
Waiting for the sun to rise.
I was running through the field one day;
I fell and hurt my toe.
A feeling of pain and discomfort I found;
Tears began to flow.
Days went on and I've healed and gotten better.
Came the season of happy days
And sunny weather.
I don't understand, I know I can't speak,
But this is all true.
I cry, and hurt, and play and love,
I have feelings just like you!

For the benefit of the non-Australians - and possibly the younger Ockers - I will put in this link which explains the title.
After a year of miserable rainfall - Whiskers Creek hadn't run since about February - a good shower (5mm) came on Monday (21 September 2009) evening. Tuesday started with a major dust storm and just as evening fell a thunder storm arrived and dumped another 5mm. Then about 7pm it really started and came down for about 3 hours. By 7am on the Wednesday we had accumulated another 19mm.
The dams have all risen (one to the point of overflowing) and both Whiskers Creek and the smaller creek in the top paddock are both running.
The sprinkler system for the lawns has been turned off for the duration of our trip to Peru!

Spiritual self reflection is disruptive because it comes against our natural inclination for independence and self-centeredness. We gravitate toward ego, even more so with age, if something doesn't expose it for the lie that it is. Ego is a negative force when it is all there is or all that matters. People really do not change too much themselves. God changes you, when you expose yourself to Spirit and Truth. Transformation remains difficult because too many people do not want their ego and separateness exposed for the illusion that it is.
Are there areas in your life that you have become stuck in that really need to be surrendered to the Voice of Truth?
Let Spirit and Truth renew your mind, and transformation will take place significantly in your life.

This is where I was last night instead of live blogging with you guys. I'm really sorry about that but how could I say no when Dr. Bachelor invited us over for spicy food and a sampling from Maynard Keenan's winery? It was phenomenal, as was the view. That's his living room window above ^.
Here are some shots from outside:
It's Spring, so it's been raining a lot and the water is a bit muddy, but it's excellent for swimming in the Summer. Lake Erie is shallow so it warms up pretty quickly. I highly recommend Huntington Beach. It's young and fun for people watching.
Good company, great views and beautiful weather. All in all, a wonderful day.
