Did You Miss the Filing Deadline? Don't panic, here's what you can do.
If you happened to miss the filing deadline, which this year (2018) was originally April 17th but extended to April 18 due to computer problems at the IRS, you should still try to file your income tax return as soon as possible, especially if you owe additional taxes. It is not as vital if the IRS owes you money, but is always better to get caught up as soon as possible, and do be aware that the IRS does have a statute of limitations on refunds.
If you owe taxes the longer you wait to file your tax return the more penalties and interest charges can build up, which will all have to be paid in addition to any money you already owe the IRS.
When you make no effort to pay your taxes, the IRS may levy/garnish your bank accounts and wages, or take other assets. The IRS in addition may file a Notice of Federal Tax Lien on a delinquent taxpayer which can have a negative impact on their credit rating.
If you are self-employed, failing to file a return can result in receiving no credits for Social Security benefits.
If you do not file your past due returns or pay your back taxes, the IRS can take further action against you. Continued non-compliance by flagrant or repeat non-filers could result in additional penalties and/or criminal prosecution as stated by the IRS.
Filing that late tax return can be easier than you think and avoid interest and penalties from piling up even more. You should file all tax returns that are due. If you do owe taxes, depending on your situation, you may qualify for an IRS payment plan/ installment agreement.
Safe, secure and convenient: http://www.e-file-tax-returns.org/
There are many different ways to make a tax payment, credit card, check, money order, electronic funds transfer, and cashier's check.
You can e-file your tax return up to 6 months after the original filing deadline. This gives the people who got a tax extension the opportunity to file online. After that date, which for 2018 is Monday, October 15th, the IRS shuts down the e-file server and begins preparing for the next tax filing season. Therefore, you will need to file a paper tax return beyond that point.
Special Situations for Late Tax Returns
If you are out of the country on the original April filing deadline, you are allowed to have 2 extra months to file your tax return and pay any tax due, though interest charges may still apply to any tax that isn't paid by the April deadline.
Out of the country filers do not have to file a tax extension request (Form 4868) in order to receive these extra 2 months. The IRS defines "out of the country" as follows:
You live outside of the United States and Puerto Rico, and your main place of work is outside the United States and Puerto Rico.
You are in military or naval service outside the United States and Puerto Rico.
Out of the country taxpayers who need more time to file (beyond the automatic 2-month extension) can request 4 additional months by filing a tax extension request (Form 4868) along with any taxes due.

I've done some editing on the Tenderfoot and Second Class requirements, eliminating the additional numerical entries on requirements (i.e. 7 a., b., c., etc. instead of 7.a., 7.b. 7.c., etc.). Does this make it easier or harder to read?

The next set of pictures shows the table laid out and a few posed shots.
I still have more terrain to add, in the shape of more buildings and some drop in terrain features such as corn field, marshes. At some point I am going to create a full river and some small hills.
On the gaming front, we had a game of Lion Rampant the week before last. The less said about that the better - got absolutely spanked! My goblin army failed every courage test and melted away.
|The Colonel surveys the scene
|The Sons of the South form a firing line
|The Sons of the South execute their cunning plan - grab the loot first
|The Bounty Hunters mill about
|The Bounty Hunters get involved in a bloody fight in the farm house
|Nasty things lurking in the cornfield
The playing cards you can see are part of the activation system and tend to create a game within a game. All good fun. Definitely going to give this a go again.

No Cold Calling Zone set up
Published Friday, 27 April 2012
Residents and Enfield Council have joined forces to tackle the menace of criminal cold callers who prey on the vulnerable and elderly.
The scheme, which covers roads off Great Cambridge Road, has been established to reduce burglary and deal with rogue traders who offer to carry out unnecessary work and then charge a fortune to do so.
A cold call is the act of making an unrequested or uninvited visit to a home and most cold callers intend to sell residents goods or services.
Although the majority of cold callers are genuine, there are a minority who commit 'doorstep crime' and it is often difficult to tell whether the person is genuine, a rogue trader offering repairs or improvements, or a bogus caller trying to get into a home.
The No Cold Calling Zone has been introduced to stop unwanted cold callers and to give residents the confidence to deter callers away who they do not wish to deal with.
Street signs have been erected at all access points used by cold callers to alert them that they are in a no cold calling zone. Residents have also been provided with stickers to display on their front doors to make callers aware that the area is a No Cold Calling Zone and that the resident will not deal with them.
The zone is not intended to prevent people from distributing leaflets or catalogues such as Betterware or the "Avon Lady" or to stop people on legitimate business such as gas, electricity and water meter readers.
It is not illegal to cold call, even in a No Cold Calling Zone, however, in a No Cold Calling Zone the residents have made a decision that they do not want cold callers.
Weir Hall Ratepayers Association made a successful bid for funding to Enfield Council's Residents' Priority Fund for a scheme to discourage cold callers.
Enfield Council's Cabinet Member for Enviroment, Cllr Chris Bond, said: "Residents are under no obligation to allow anyone to enter their home and can refuse access. We advise people to say "No to all doorstep cold callers and this scheme will help give people the confidence to do exactly that.
"Cold callers can be very persuasive so this scheme is about stopping them from visiting this area in the first place."
If you are concerned you or a neighbour have been approached by rogue traders or bogus caller, please contact Citizens Advice - Consumer Advice 08454 040506.
Everyone has a right to feel safe in their own homes. Residents should follow these simple steps before letting anyone they don't know into their home:
- Lock the back door before answering the front door. Bogus callers often work in pairs; while one distracts the homeowner at the front door, the other goes around the back.
- Always ask to see ID. Check the photo on the identity card against the person at your door.
- If they do not have any ID or it does not match, do not let them in.
- If it is not a pre-arranged visit and you are unsure about the caller, ask them to return at a suitable date and time when you have someone with you.
- If you are still unsure about the caller, contact the appropriate number for assistance, usually the organisation the caller claims to be from.

So this picture confirms my fear - I don't have anything to wear! Yes, you may see a huge wardrobe packed with high street and vintage finds aplenty, but when it comes to getting ready in the morning I get stumped. I said the other day at work that I had lost my fashion mojo – dear friends I believe this to be true…. Now if only I could find said mojo!
My wardrobe
I think what I need is one of those things people like to call 'a clear out'! As is evident by the photo I don't have many clear outs, they are very rare in my flat but times may be a changing! I need to get ruthless, who knows what old treasures I might find along the way.
Clueless just like
More to follow on this subject, that I am sure…

The developer noted that itis filling a void created by Apple and AOL, neither of whom has created a solution for such functionality.
Once installed, AOLMemoImporter sorts existing AOL Memo files and automatically includes new files in the Spotlight database as theyire created. As with other file types, users can view the search results of AOL Memo files in real-time as they type in keywords.
AOLMemoImporter sells for US$19.99 and requires Mac OS X v10.4 "Tiger." It does not search AOL Mail files nor AOL Mailbox information.

Jury selection began in the smartphone patent case with potential candidates asked to list their gadgets as Apple and Samsung prepare to wage war in California.
The long-awaited lawsuit kicked off early this morning (NZT) with U.S. District Judge Lucy H. Koh telling jurors: "If you are ultimately selected as a juror, it will be an interesting case."
Judge Koh said the court needed to find 18 jurors who can be 'fair and impartial' in making a decision on the case, from 74 possible contenders.
Apple is suing the South Korean company for US$2.5 billion, alleging its rival made 'a deliberate decision to copy' their products with reference to iPad and iPhone designs.
Samsung strongly deny the claims, countersuing the American firm for patent infringements of their own and demanding substantial royalties.
Failure to settle out of court has resulted in jurors facing questioning over their suitability for the case – asking if any had previously worked for Apple or Samsung, along with what phones they owned and whether there were any conflicts of interest.
Of the 74, many admitted owning iPhones and iPads, along with Samsung smartphones and other products, while a few declared they had read Steve Jobs biography – where the late Apple CEO said he would go 'thermonuclear' in his pursuit of Samsung over alleged copyright infringements.
The first round of possible jurors already caused issues with a current Apple employer and Google interface designer among the candidates.
Finding a jury for such a public trial was always expected to be a difficult process and this has proved no different to expectations.
Judge Koh continued quizzing jurors asking if they had strong feelings about the case, if they feel influenced by any media coverage and if they held shares in Apple or Samsung stock.
A decision is expected to be made today however, with opening statements from both parties likely to follow.
The evidence section of the lawsuit is expected to conclude as early as August 17 but estimates of August 21 appeared more likely given the evidence and witnesses in the case.
This will be the first time a jury has heard a smartphone patent case in the US, with the trial expected to last four weeks in San Jose courthouse, California.
What do you think? Is it impossible to get a fair and impartial jury in this case? Who will come out on top? Let us know your comments below.

I've been working so hard for these past few days. Few days? You know final exam stuff. I just can't bear with those things where I needed to force myself to study and I'd been sacrificed a lot especially my sleep time. But actually sleeps is not my habit and trust me, I get used to be a bat for most of the time. Hahaha.
I really hope that all my sacrifice and effort worth a damn! I don't wanna put so much hope. I can't stand to be disappointed again. Can I repeat the glory like last semesters back then? I don't know coz the destiny isn't right my hand now. It all depends on my hard work. How strive I am. How I motivated myself. Pheewww. Truth to be told, this semester is tough. Fucking tough. It's unspeakable. But Alhamdulillah… I've successfully faced those challenges and there's one more paper to go. It's Psychology and Sociology and please do pray the best for me. Amin.

J. R. R. Tolkien Quotes About HealingQuotes about: Healing
It was an evil doom that set her in his path. For she is a fair maiden, fairest lady of a house of queens. And yet I know not how I should speak of her. When I first looked on her and perceived her unhappiness, it seemed to me that I saw a white flower standing straight and proud, shapely as a lily and yet knew that it was hard, as if wrought by elf-wrights out of steel.
Justice is not Healing. Healing cometh only by suffering and patience, and maketh no demand, not even for Justice. Justice worketh only within the bonds of things as they are... and therefore though Justice is itself good and desireth no further evil, it can but perpetuate the evil that was, and doth not prevent it from the bearing of fruit in sorrow.

4 Design Secrets to Conquer the Tall Wall Challenge
When so many people are challenged with decorating small spaces, it seems odd that there are those who struggle with decorating their great big tall walls. Luckily, there are more ways to capture and utilize that space than hanging a giant quilt way up there.(Don't you love those three poufs?)
1. Shelve it and use your collections as art. Functional, decorative and it pulls the wall into the coziness of the room.2. Play up the height with tall trees, large vases with long and narrow bamboo sticks, tall nature murals. This is using the height as the focal point. This is the best way to 'spin' your design challenge to make it look purposeful.
3.Camoflage with color and fabric weight. Uniformity of color tricks you into not noticing the height of the room. Hang window treatments above the windows frame to make the room align with the feeling of grandness and formality. Choose lighter weight fabrics for a more casual room.
4. Use the tall wall as the focal point. Put a flat screen on that wall, place your headboarded bed on that wall, line up tall bookcases in front of the wall. When the eyes fall on dramatic focal points, there's no room left to critique the extraordinary height in the room.

It was subconscious at first, weeks that passed without notice.
I have this tendency to ignore incomplete things, like emails unanswered or projects unfinished. It's like responding or finishing draws attention to the fact that I failed, that I didn't finish in a responsible or timely manner. So I ignore it.
That's what I did here. I didn't want to draw attention to the fact that I didn't reach my lofty 52 essays goal, so I ignored it. When people asked, I mumbled something about "the busyness of the season" or "work is just so crazy right now."
The truth is, something big and overwhelming happened in my life. Something personal and private, and it consumed me. I didn't have the emotional stamina to write my feelings or thoughts, because those thoughts had become a slave to something bigger.
In January, I started meeting weekly with a physical therapist to address an issue that has bothered me for the past three years. It took me a whole year just to admit I had a problem.
There is something so frustrating about a body that won't work the way it should, the way you think it should. I spent a lot of time angry at God, feeling like I had been dealt an unfair hand.
"I did everything right!" I said.
So I continued my weekly therapy visits, worked my home therapy every night. And I stewed in it.
I stewed in the unfairness of it, the time it was costing me, the financial expense, all of it.
And then one night, I was standing in the shower, lamenting my normal lament, and I felt God say to me, "Lauren. It was never about you. It was always about me."
. . .
Once I realized my error, I become so aware of what was happening: a raise to cover the extra medical costs, a physical therapist who is a leading expert in the field - but also an amazing Christian mentor who looked at me and said, "Me too," and emotional turmoil that God slowly began to churn into spiritual maturity.
It was never about me, but I had let this problem define me. It rocked me to the core. I let it become the thing I was most ashamed about, instead of something that pointed directly to grace.
. . .
I read a wonderful post this week by Nancy Ray - words of encouragement on not meeting your goals. I have this tendency to look back on my past and see big marks of failure - not finishing my 52 essays goal, needing therapy, etc.
And I know that pattern of behavior is wrong. I'm working on this.
So I'm back today because I'm ready to address this. I miss writing. I'm ready to draw attention to the fact that I didn't finish something, as uncomfortable as it feels.
I don't have a plan. I don't have a bold statement. But I am ready to write again.

The National Transportation Safety Board voted Tuesday to recommend to states that they lower the blood-alcohol content that constitutes drunken driving.
Currently, all 50 states have set a BAC level of .08, reflecting the percentage of alcohol, by volume, in the blood. If a driver is found to have a BAC level of .08 or above, he or she is subject to arrest and prosecution.
The NTSB recommends dropping that to a BAC level of .05.

What is stamping?
Stamping is the use of presses and dies on the plate, strip, pipe and profiles and other external force, so that the plastic deformation or separation, to obtain the required shape and size of the workpiece (stamping parts) forming processing methods. Stamping and forging belong to the same plastic processing (or pressure processing), collectively known as forging. Stamping of the blank is mainly hot-rolled and cold-rolled steel and strip. The world's steel, 60 to 70% of the plate, most of them made by pressing the finished product. The car body, the chassis, the fuel tank, the radiator piece, the boiler steam drum, the vessel shell, the electrical machinery, the electrical appliances iron core silicon steel sheet and so on are all stamping processes. Instruments, household appliances, bicycles, office machinery, living vessels and other products, there are a large number of stamping parts.
Stamping is the use of conventional or special punching equipment, power, so that the sheet directly in the mold by the deformation force and deformation, resulting in a certain shape, size and performance of the production of parts technology. Sheet metal, mold and equipment are three elements of stamping. According to the stamping process temperature is divided into hot stamping and cold stamping. The former is suitable for high resistance to deformation, poor plastic sheet metal processing; the latter at room temperature, the sheet is commonly used stamping method. It is a metal plastic processing (or pressure processing) one of the main methods, but also under the material forming engineering technology.

Business casual may sound like an oxymoron, but it's actually a popular dress code for workplaces around the country. While guidelines can get blurred depending on industry and the boss's personal preference, some rules hold true no matter where you are. Building a wardrobe of closet staples like a black blazer and chinos will give you go-to options that anchor your ensemble. Add items like color and print to show your personal style while maintaining a professional look.
Business Casual Guidelines
Before you even think about choosing specific pieces, all workplace apparel should be clean, pressed and tailored to fit. Dirty, wrinkled or ill-fitting clothing never looks sharp.
Some rules, like no jeans allowed apply to business casual dress code for both men and women. No flip-flop sandals, logo T-shirts, shorts and exposed undergarments are other gender-neutral guidelines. Woven slacks or khaki chinos with a collared button-down shirt are staples for guys. A knee-length pencil skirt, blazer or cardigan and collared blouse are versatile and appropriate pieces for ladies. Footwear should also be clean and preferably leather, but guys can forego oxfords for loafers, and ladies don't need heels.
Variations on Business Casual
Certain situations can present variations on basic business casual attire. If you're going into a big meeting but your boss says it's still "business casual", add to your look without being overdressed. Guys can wear separates like navy slacks and a gray tweed sport coat with a plaid buttoned shirt and brown loafers. Gals can add a black blazer over a pencil skirt and chiffon blouse with a statement necklace and pumps. These ensembles are still business casual, yet have that extra-polished look. Events like a birthday or themed party make showing personal style more appropriate; sport a western-style collared shirt with cowboy boots under your chinos if that's your taste.
Business Casual Looks for Him
Get more versatility out of your suits by breaking them up into separates for business casual attire. Pair the black or navy pants from your suit with a striped button-down shirt and loafers. A light tan suede loafer makes a more comfortable choice in hot summer months. For colder winter weather, team the blazer from your favorite suit with wool trousers. Layer a button-down shirt under a V-neck sweater for added warmth. Leather ankle boots or oxfords keep feet warmer for the season. Add accessories like a quality leather or metal watch to polish your look, but a tie is not necessary.
Business Casual Looks for Her
Closet staples like a black blazer, pencil skirt, tailored pair of slacks and classic pump save time when dressing for work. Wear your black blazer with gray slacks, a red silk shell and white leather pump for a smart look. A sheath dress with wide shoulder coverage and just above-the-knee length hemline will keep you cool for summer. Add polish with a slim belt at the natural waist and a peep-toed pump. Wear sheer black tights under your pencil skirt for more warmth in winter. Opt for a cozy cashmere cardigan over a tailored button-down shirt and a heeled ankle bootie to complete the cold-weather look.

This time last year, we enjoyed a few weeks in Rome, a city with many beautiful bridges. Ponte Sisto, a footbridge across the Tiber, became our favorite though, perhaps because it was so close to where we stayed on the Campo de' Fiore. We used it almost daily on our explorations around central Rome and enjoyed its friendliness and unique beauty each time we passed over.

Pubic Lice Treatment
Pubic lice has got to be one of the creepy-crawliest nasties you can get on your body and you don't have to be sexually active to get it. You can pick crab lice up from sheets and towels if you come in contact with them after an infested person used them. Pubic lice is less common these days than it used to be, due to metrosexuals and women alike popularizing bikini waxing and other hair removal modalities, but it still exists. And you needn't have pubic hair to get it, either -- pubic lice can live on your thighs, eyelashes, eyebrows, armpits and more. If you're unfortunate enough to get pubic lice one way or another, this is how you get rid of them:
Step 1: Scrub up
Wash the infested area with your normal soap and water and then dry yourself off with a towel.
Step 2: 1% permethrin lotion or mousse
Your crab lice killing product should contain 1% permethrin, pyrethrins or piperonyl butoxide. This can be in the form of a mousse, lotion or shampoo. Your particular product will tell you exactly how long to leave it on for and it will tell you how and when to remove it.
NOTE: These products are not intended for removal of lice and nits from eyelashes and eyebrows and other facial areas! If you can remove these by hand you will need a doctor's prescription for a special ointment so see your general practitioner asap.
Step 3: Nit Removal
The medication will kill the crabs themselves but you'll need to remove most of the nits (eggs) manually. You can do this by hand with a nit comb or you can use your fingernail or you can shave the area.
Step 4: Repeat these steps in 9-10 days if you still have pubic lice symptoms.
If you've been intimate with anyone they'll need to be treated as well and you should avoid any kind of intimate contact until you're absolutely sure that your infestation has been quelled. You'll want to clean all the clothing, towels and bedding you and other infected persons came into contact with during the previous 3 or 4 days -- wash them in hot water and dry them in the dryer. Also, if you've acquired crab lice via a partner you may want to have yourself checked for STDs just to be on the safe side.

ePlus, Inc. v. Lawson Software, Inc.
Addressing the issue of contempt for violation of a non-final injunction, a divided U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit declined to rehear en banc a panel decision that vacated a civil contempt holding for violation of an injunction in a case where the underlying patent was cancelled by the Patent and Trademark Office (PTO). ePlus, Inc. v. Lawson Software, Inc., Case Nos. 13-1506 and -1587 (Fed. Cir., June 18, 2015) (Prost, J. and Dyk, J.) (O'Malley, J., dissenting).
Lawson originally appealed after an infringement verdict and subsequent injunction. In a 2012 opinion (IP Update, Vol. 15, No. 12), the Federal Circuit found the system claims to be invalid due to an indefinite means-plus-function element and reversed the infringement verdict as to two of the three method claims. The Federal Circuit remanded the case, instructing the district court to modify the injunction as necessary.
On remand, Lawson argued for extensive modifications to the injunction, but the district court only eliminated a single configuration that was not implicated by the remaining claim. The court also held Lawson in civil contempt based on a failed re-design and ordered it to pay a compensatory fine of over $18 million, along with daily coercive fines until Lawson complied with the injunction.
Lawson appealed both the contempt order and the refusal to modify the injunction. While that appeal was pending, the sole remaining claim was cancelled by the PTO after an ex parte reexamination. In a 2014 opinion ( IP Update, Vol. 17, No. 8), a Federal Circuit panel held the cancelled claim to be void ab initio and set aside the injunction. The panel also considered the injunction to be non-final because it was still under appeal and thus vacated the contempt order based on the rule that contempt of a non-final injunction rises or falls with the underlying injunction.
ePlus moved for rehearing en banc. On June 18, 2015, after a deadlocked five to five vote (with Judge Chen not participating), the Federal Circuit issued an order denying an en banc rehearing. The panel also issued a revised opinion that same day, which added further discussion emphasizing that the decision was limited to non-final injunctions. The majority panel judges also wrote a concurrence to the en banc denial, characterizing their decision as nothing more than the application of well-established precedent for non-final injunctions.
In dissent, Judge O'Malley addressed what she considered to be the majority's attempt to re-characterize the injunction as non-final.
Practice Note: As Judge Moore warns in her dissent, this holding should encourage defendants to scrap and fight to keep an underlying district court litigation pending in the hope of faring better with the PTO.

nothing ever changes, - or does it?
as some of you probably know - versailles did not have
any toilet! what?! - I am not kidding. such a huge castle,
and no toilet. well, king louis XIV ( 14. ) of france, le
roi-soleil - the sun king, had versailles built. he had his
big parties there and meetings with the senior vice-
presidents, his courtisanes and some other influental
clientele. during the meetings, parties and other pretty
important gatherings it would have been deadly for the
participants to leave for a pee or else. for that reason
there was straw on the floor in every room, women were
wearing these very wide rokoko dresses that
made it easy to hide doings beneath. men just releived
themselves wherever they were standing. it must have
been a pretty strong smell. no wonder the french
invented the perfume. people were so dirty, no toilet -
no shower, that they developed skin diseases. well even
for that some smart guys had a solution, the powdered
faces and beauty marks ( where the heavy damaged skin
areas were ). in case the hair had suffered, you had to wear
a wig. the wig fashion was born.
I recommend DANGEROUS LIAISONS, a phantastic movie
that takes place during that period of time.
it must have been some disgusting fun.
hans christian andersen got the idea and wrote THE
EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES. I am sure you know the
all that went through my mind when I had to attend
presentations in the disney studio, especially in the later
years during the reign of king thomas the shoemaker.
there were toilets in the studio and nobody was wearing
wigs or too much aftershave. but there were similarities!
tom had a theatre background. maybe that's why he always
showed up with this incredible big entourage
of bla-bla's, vice presidents, under-senior vice and
under-presidents. and all of them were so important.
they stood around and were nodding all the time.
and together they screwed up one project after another.
tom was an amazing actor. he was a one-man show. the
entourage was the stage like in the classic greek theatre.
it was better than letterman. I even told him once.
he had to be admired for that.
le studio, c'est moi!
all that is history already. there is new hope.
and things are changing!
such a shame that so much energy and money has been spent
over the years to keep that 'theatre' alive...

"David Beckmann and Bread for the World have done an extraordinary job not only in providing positive responses in the fight against hunger but in helping to lead the way in terms of development and urging the United States to improve coordination and better target our investments and to learn from local communities." —Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State
David Beckmann, president of Bread for the World and one of the leading advocates for ending hunger in this country and abroad, received the 2010 World Food Prize in Des Moines, Iowa, on October 14, 2010. The announcement was first made by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in June. The award comes with the release of a new book on ending hunger from Westminster John Knox Press: Exodus from Hunger: We Are Called to Change the Politics of Hunger.
In his new book, Beckmann, a bilingual, fifteen-year veteran of the World Bank who has lived in Ghana and Bangladesh, argues that we can end world hunger in our lifetime. Beckmann looks at the causes of hunger, presents case studies of countries that have made great strides against it, and shares stories of people who are hungry every day. The book is an impassioned plea for people of faith and others to muster the political will to end hunger. Nobel Prize Peace Prize Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu wrote the foreword.
Beckmann's efforts at the helm of Bread for the World have resulted in a tripling of U.S. funding for antihunger programs in developing countries and a significant increase in funding for child nutrition programs here at home. He has been called to testify before Congress nearly twenty times, appearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Ways and Means Committee of the House of Representatives.
In addition to leading Bread for the World, Beckmann also founded and serves as president of the Alliance to End Hunger, helped found the ONE Campaign with Bono, and appears regularly in mainstream and religious media. A Lutheran minister and the author of several books, Beckmann has a degree from the London School of Economics. Visit: www.exodusfromhunger.org.

Communicating-or getting our message across-is the concern not only of second language teachers but of us all in our daily lives in whatever language we happen to use. Our successes are a continual source of jubilation- This time he got the message!-and comfort-You really do understand, don't you? Our failures are a source of frustration-I wonder what he meant by that?-and discouragement-somehow I can never seem to make them understand. Learning how to be better communicators is important to all of us in both our private and public lives. Better communication means better understanding of ourselves and others; less isolation from those around us; and more productive, happy lives.
We begin at birth by interacting with those around us to keep warm, dry, and fed. We learn very soon that the success of a particular communication strategy depends on the willingness of others to understand and on the interpretation they give to our meaning. Whereas a whimper will suffice to bring a mother running with a clean diaper and warm milk in one instance, sustained screaming over long stretches of time will be ineffectual in another. We learn, then that meaning is never one-sided. Rather, it is negotiated between the persons involved [1].
As we grow up our needs grow increasingly complex and, along with them, our communication efforts. Different words, we discover, are appropriate in different settings. The expressions we hear on the playground or through the bedroom door may or may not be acceptable at the supper table. We may decide to use them anyway to attract attention. Along with words we learn to use intonation, gestures, facial expression, and many other features of communication to convey our meaning to persons around us. Most of our repertoire of communication strategies develops unconsciously, through assimilation of role models- persons we admire and would like to resemble to some extend- and the success we experience in our interactions. In childhood, peer as well as adult reactions are usually quite spontaneous and direct; they give immediate feedback on the way our meaning has been interpreted: That's no way to talk your father! Just for that, I'm not going to play with you anymore.- All you ever do is talk about how great you are. You think you're so smart!
Formal training in the classroom affords an opportunity to gain systematic practice in an even wider range of communicative activities. Show and Tell, an activity that has become an integral part of most preschool programs, provides an early opportunity to report to a group in a formal setting on a previously prepared topic. Group discussions, moderated by the teacher, give young learners important practice in taking turns, getting the attention of the group, one's views, and perhaps disagreeing with others in a setting other than the informal family or playground situations with which they are familiar. Classrooms also provide practice in written communications of many kinds. Mother's Day, business letters, and job application forms are routinely included in many school curricula and provide older learners with practical writing experience.
A concern communication extends beyond school years and into adult life. Assertiveness training, the development of strategies for conquering stage fright, and an awareness of body language-the subtle messages conveyed by posture, hand movement, eyes, smile-are among the many avenues to improved communication as adults. The widespread popularity of guides to improving communication within couples and between parents and children attests to our ever present concern with learning to communicate more effectively in our most intimate relationships, to understand and to be understood by those closest to us.
One of the important lessons to be learned here, as in other communicative contexts, is that what matters is not the intent but the interpretation of the communicative act. Conveyance of meaning in unfamiliar contexts requires practice in the use of the appropriate register or style of speech. If a women wants to sound like a business executive, she has to talk the way business executives talk when they are on the job. The same register would of course be inappropriate when talking of personal matters with a spouse or an intimate friend. Similarly, executives who must cope with an investigative reporter may be helped to develop an appropriate style. They need to learn how to convey a sense of calm and self-assurance. Effective communication in this particular context may require the use of language to avoid a direct answer or to hide ones intent while appearing to be open and forthright. In both instances an understanding of what is really happening, as opposed to what one would like to see happening, is the first step toward improved communication [2].
Communication, then, is a continuous process of expression, interpretation, and negation. The opportunities for communication are infinite and include system of signs and symbols (which we cannot begin to classify or even identify), of which language is but a part. The color of our skin, the way we dress, the way we wear our hair, the way we stand, smile, listen, nod, and pause all communicate to others along with the sound of our voice and the words we speak. We are concerned with communication from birth, and we learn to respond in new contexts as we accumulate life experiences. The meaning we intend and the meaning we convey are often not the same. In going from thoughts and feelings to their symbolic representation-in written or spoken words, gesture, design, color, movement, or sound-choices must be made. We make the best use we can of the symbolic systems we know. The meaning we convey depends on others who share an understanding of these symbols and who may or may not interpret them as we intend.

Xmas program brings holiday cheer to those who need it most
By Fred Sherwin
Orléans Online
Orléans-Cumberland Community Resource Centre is
once again reaching out to the local community to help
sponsor families facing financial hardship this holiday
may be hard for some people to believe, but there are
hundreds of families in Orléans who are forced
to cope with financial hardship at any given time. They
may have suffered a job loss, they may be in the middle
of a separation or divorce, or they may have been saddled
with external pressures such as a relative suffering an
illness, or an aging parent who is need of care. Whatever
the reason, the result is the same too many expenses
and not enough income.
stress is a major cause of depression, anxiety and stress
which often leads to marital strife and family crisis.
Orléans-Cumberland Community Resource Centre is
there to help families in need. Whether its counseling,
assistance in navigating through the social service network,
or accessing the food bank, the OCCRC is often a sanctuary
of last resort for many people in our community.
this time of year, the Resource Centres primary
focus is the holiday season and ensuring that those families
in need of assistance receive it.
OCCRC Christmas Program is actually three programs in
one the Angel Tree program, the Toy Mountain program
and the Resource Centre program. Families in need can
benefit from all three programs, but first they must register
with the food bank, indicating the number of children
they have along with their ages and gender. Each family
is then assigned a number which corresponds to an individual
of the public and organizations such as churches, service
clubs and school councils act as sponsors by providing
a cash donation and gifts depending on the size of the
family and the age and gender of the children. The cash
donations are used to purchase food items such as fresh
vegetables, dairy products and holiday specific food items
such as turkeys, ham etc.
the family comes in to pick up their items they receive
their food as well as gifts for the children from the
Toy Mountain program the OCCRC Christmas program.
you are interested in becoming a sponsor you can simply
visit the OCCRC website at http://crcoc.ca/christmas-just-around-corner/,
and the Christmas Campaign 2015 Sponsor Registration Form.
fill it out and drop it off at the Resource Centre located
at 240 Centrum Blvd. across from the Shenkman Arts Centre.
story was made possible thanks to the generous support
of our local business partners.)

This past weekend I am pretty sure there was a full moon out..
"it's that time..of the season.."-mommas and the papas
I worked every night Thursday-Sunday and managed to not Labor on labor day after all. This may have been one of the busiest weekends all summer, we were really busy and I love when it's busy!! More tips and more live-drunken dancing-on-the-stage entertainment at Shakespeare's.
I had a few high noon 100+degree sessions at house park, where I ran into Francis, local kid I heard about having "shit luck" over the years. This time he was cruisin around with two broken wrists!! "who wants to Ride some trails?!" I can't believe this kid. Poor guy..I was introduced to Francis last year sometime as the "kid who got shot in the ass by some local thugs while he was riding a ditch." and now this:
Get well Soon dog!
I also had the pleasure of riding at 9th street here and there over the weekend! If there even was a missing link in the good vibes of the Austin scene, it was the ninth street trails! They are mostly running again, making for a great time just before sundown everyday there! The bugs, absolutely love me, so I re-upped my bug repellent stash. The shelves of the local grocery where all the Off! is were looking pretty bare after news reports that there is a strong presence of the west Nile Virus in surrounding areas of central Austin yikes! If you are hittin' the trails, be prepared people! Douse yourselves in that Deet! Haha

After a fun weekend of riding, I got a phonecall that my buddy, Joe Bob Montgomery, was hit by a truck yesterday on his way into work.
He is in the hospital with a broken back, surgery still pending, no health insurance, and as it turns out, the incident was a hit and run! This makes my blood boil..
He is in good spirits though, hangin tough! Healing vibes Holmes!
The impact was so crazy his bike is mangled, pedal and seat melted, grips all shredded, headset all jacked, I'm pretty sure the frame and forks are twisted too
Joe got lucky this time. Yikes! Healing vibes kid!! Follow him on instagram for more updates @farmlife

text: For fucks sake, enough of the bickering. Just about every thread posted in the past week has been ruined by nonstop personal attacks. ENOUGH ALREADY! I am going to either start deleting posts or just locking every thread that gets sidetracked. If that doesn't work then we'll just have to start banning people. I thought we were all adult enough to allow for the occasional outbursts. Seems like the outbursts make up about 90% of the posts lately. No need to name names, you all know who you are. This place is starting to look like yahoo's message boards. Damn people, enjoy the board, don't ruin it!

At the entrance to Edith Wharton's The Mount in Lenox, Massachusetts stood this tour guide letting us know the ground rules about visiting the historic site. I impulsively just started snapping her picture. Those crazy glasses on her round face were irresistible. She was a little taken aback but didn't tell me to stop. I love these shots in black and white.

Sunday, on ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos, George asked White House Senior Adviser David Plouffe three times whether the United States is now better off than four years ago. It was entertaining to watch Plouffe, who did not directly answer that question.
To some people it may seem odd that Plouffe didn't answer head on. Stephanopoulos' three-peat implies, and many right-wing political commentators are saying, that Obama is culpable and America deserves better. Although I agree the Plouffe conversation was odd, it was not odd because he didn't directly answer the question. Let me explain.
Obviously, it is a dangerous question to answer directly. No matter what you say, you seem to make the excuse that it is former president George W. Bush' fault. I know Pres. Barack Obama approaches things with truth. So the only other alternative is a truthful answer – that America is now approaching where she was four years ago. People have been through hell and don't really feel things are getting that much better yet, and might not for a while. However, things are getting better and the pace will accelerate, Europe and China willing.
For Republicans, led by Gov. Mitt Romney, fiction is perhaps a third answer. They seem happy with fiction, including three-hour marathons, social and fiscal policies based on Ayn Rand's novel "Atlas Shrugged" and indeed, an entirely fictional world, akin (or perhaps Akin?) to Alice in Wonderland. A world wherein Gov. Romney is divining an alternate, amnesiac history of America's arrival to this election. (You can refer to the link below for my September 1, 2012 article "Only a single set of footprints remain at the Tampa RNC" for elaboration on that world.)
I think, in order to avoid a potential "gotcha" moment, Plouffe repeatedly answered indirectly and in a way that left that four letter word "Bush" out of the sentence. It seems that neither side can bear to say it. I believe Pres. Obama well understands and is carrying out his challenging responsibilities. He is not looking for scapegoats or sympathy and he credits the American people with the capacity to remember who was George W. Bush. Certainly though, no one is going to ask where is he?
The oddity to me is this – why was Stephanopoulos so persistently asking the wrong question? Now my thinking might seem odd to you! But think of this. Four years after Katrina hit New Orléans – was it reasonable to ask New Orléans if it was better off than before Katrina? Four years after 9/11 – was it reasonable to ask New York or America if it was better off than before 9/11? Self-evident answers. No. And no.
You can argue 9/11 or Katrina was a greater human tragedy. However, the impact on America of the 2008 financial system meltdown and the ensuing recession is unprecedented except for the Great Depression. Also, and importantly, by their nature and condition, America's challenges – fiscal, financial system, economic and political; created what has been a deep and intractable recession.
Bush created the elements of the underlying intractable situation in America. Borne of two fundamental things he did over his 8 year tenure. First, he set America on what is best described as her Titanic course, by fundamentally altering the U.S. fiscal and budget situation. He started with a yearly income that was reducing America's borrowing and turned that into a massive yearly loss, and in doing that he dramatically ramped up borrowing. He did more than just create a fundamental shortfall in revenue compared to costs. In fact, he created a fast growing, exponentially growing, shortfall. And a fast growing national debt. He did this principally by enacting the now famous "Bush tax cuts" and also large "unfunded" Medicare entitlement and war spending increases.
The second thing Bush did, was enable the engineering and installation of WMD in America's financial system. For example, he enabled NINJA, or no-income, no-job mortgages and loans. Plus the creation and sale of trillions of dollars of mortgage and loan packages that were seeded with these toxic bad loans and related derivatives. Thereby multiplying their toxic impact more than tenfold. And the WMD were duly set off just as Bush left office with their full damage and destruction evident only after some 12 months.
This is what generated this Great Intractable Recession. It bears noting that the financial meltdown made it more severe than a typical business cycle recession. A strong financial system and a strong fiscal situation are the main tools for generating a quick recovery. Given what Bush' era and the WMD had wrought, America's confidence and on the restorative leverage of her financial and fiscal condition cannot help, and in fact, impair her recovery.
And that red elephant we see every day that is riding, kicking and screaming, on the President's back? Yeah, that is a big part of the challenge too….
The right question(s)? Try these:
- What has it been like fighting back from the twin financial and economic calamities?
- What are the things already done, what are you doing now?
- How far along are we in the recovery phase? It seems to be taking forever.
- What can everyone do to help move America forward?
- What can we expect in the next 4 years if Obama is re-elected?
- Oh and of course, how has it been carrying that big red elephant on your back?
I think Obama and his team are going to answer some of these questions for everyone this week at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina.
So stay tuned!

Oooh, dear, looks like Intel is about to get charged by the European Commission with anti-competetive business practices:
European Commission investigators have called on the organisation to bring Intel to book over alleged anti-competitive business practices.
There's no official word on the outcome of the EU's long-running probe into claims that Intel abused its market lead to hinder its competitors, but according to the Wall Street Journal today, citing sources said to be close to the probe, investigators will recommend formal charges against the chip giant.
The key word is 'recommend', and EU Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes has asked for more details before making her decision, the WSJ reports. Bbut it's hard to imagine that she reject the advice of her staff.
The EU has examined Intel's business practices in Europe for six years, but the investigation was renewed somewhat in 2005 after AMD formally accused its arch-rival of anti-competitive actions, launching legal action in Japan and the US. The lawsuits followed a ruling by Japan's competition watchdog that Intel had abused its market leadership there.
This could seriously hurt. The Commission has the power to fine a company 10% of global turnover. Ouch, that's big for a company the size of Intel.
