General population to benefit most from present tax benefits, credits
Published 7:00 pm, Sunday, September 27, 2009
Whether purchasing a home for the first time, adding solar panels to the roof or simply claiming tax credits available to some parents, experts say the current tax code contains more than just a few perks for the average family.
"Typically there's not a lot of benefits for individuals," said Internal Revenue Service senior relationship tax consultant Debra Hedgcoth. "This seems to hit more of the general population."
Speaking to a group recently at My Community Federal Credit Union, Hedgcoth worked to clarify the qualifications for certain tax benefits and credits and also advised Midlanders of how best to take advantage of the current laws.
The Making Work Pay tax credit, she said, is one of the most all encompassing as it reduced taxes for working families by automatically decreasing the amount being withheld from paychecks as of April 1 of this year.
The move was done in an effort to increase people's income throughout the year and will be phased out for single taxpayers making more than $75,000 or married couples who file jointly and earn more than $150,000.
And while people typically don't need to revise their W-4 forms to take advantage of the credit, she said, for those who may be working more than one job or for married couples where both spouses work, alterations may be required. Without looking at one's withholding in these situations, she said, the added tax benefit may mean an individual or couple is getting too much back and will then be forced to repay the IRS next year.
"If this is a single person working two jobs it's going to be real hard to come up with $1,200," she said, explaining why it's important for some to check their withholding status. To look at a withholding status, visit www.IRS.gov. Citizens can use the withholding calculator to ensure their W-4s are filled out correctly.
Also, teens or young adults who work but still are claimed by their parents as dependents are not eligible for the benefit.
Locally, said Kelly Hill, director of Marketing and Business Development for the credit union, people have been anxious to take advantage of the first-time home buyer credit that allows those who are purchasing a home after not owning one for at least three years to claim up to an $8,000 tax credit.
Hedgcoth said that's been the case nationally, as well, which is why the IRS will check to ensure none have cheated on this by making purchases from family members solely for the credit.
"They've already sent out a lot of stuff that people are cheating on this one," she said.
For the majority who are taking advantage of it honestly, she said, it's one of the best deals for citizens that's ever been available. Unlike most of the tax credits discussed, she said, the home buyer credit is given right away.
Hill said that has made it so some banks are willing to work with families trying to purchase homes and qualify them for loans based on the knowledge they will receive the tax credit, which could then be funneled to the bank as part of a down payment.
Tax credits of up to $1,500 in 2009 and 2010 also are available for energy conservation measures taken on pre-existing homes. The credit includes energy efficient windows, doors, insulation, metal and asphalt roofs, water heaters and some stoves. Check www.energystar.gov for more information on what qualifies.
State, local and excise taxes on cars, light trucks, motor homes and motorcycles also can be deducted this year even for people who don't itemize their deductions, Hedgcoth said. The vehicle must be purchased by the end of this year and the deduction is limited to the first $49,500 of a purchase.
Students will catch a few breaks as well, which a few present at the workshop where glad to hear as they're helping one or multiple children make their way through school.
Computers and equipment were added to the list of things that can be considered part of one's Qualified Higher Education Expense. The change is effective for this year and 2010, Hedgcoth said.
The HOPE tax credit, which previously was available just for the first two years of school, now is available for the first four years of post-secondary education, Hedgcoth said. Tax credits of up to $2,500 are available for 2009 and 2010 and books and tuition can both be included as expenses now.
Of the credit, 40 percent also is now refundable when previously it was not, she said.
"It's a good deal," she said.
In a change targeted at low-income families with multiple children, the Earned Income Tax Credit was increased so that families with three or more qualifying children will now receive more, Hedgcoth said. The maximum earned income to qualify increased to between $13,440 and $48,279 and the credits given act as a deduction against taxes that would otherwise be due.
The code is meant to help push those who are at or below the poverty level into working since they receive the tax benefits only when earning an income, Hedgcoth said.
Unlike the Cash for Clunkers incentive, Hedgcoth said, these tax credits and benefits were written into law in February so they can't be ended early. She said there's also talk of extending the home buyer tax credit, which currently ends with purchases made after Nov. 30.
"They're not going to give it and take it back," she said.

The mother of Lynchburg U.S. District Judge Norman Moon was one of the alleged victims of a nurse's aide accused of using identity theft to steal from residents of nursing homes where she worked, according to a published report.
The News & Advance says Judge James Turk – in place of Moon – will handle the case of Karen Priscilla Jones, who was arraigned yesterday on 34 charges, including mail and wire fraud.
Jones, 48, is charged with using personal information from residents at nursing homes where she worked to obtain more than $9,000 worth of goods and services, according to the indictment.

text: It is absolutely possible to get a good snug fit there, and I speak from experience with my WBBB and winter Incubator. It took me a little while to figure out the propper adjustments to the suspension and end channels. Triangle Thingies can help with that but aren't necesary. Once I figured it out, it was a breeze from then on. I don't want to discourage you, as I consider the footbox to be far and away worth the occasional fussing to get that flat lay. I just want you to understand that there is a slight learning curve. The final product is well worth it!

The Twins will begin renovating the right-field seating area at Target Field this month after getting a plan approved Wednesday by the Minnesota Ballpark Authority.
The changes, all funded by the team, won't affect the park's outfield dimensions and will reduce the ballpark's seating capacity from 39,500 to about 39,200.
The project, which should be completed for the 2013 season, will create another area for group ticket sales, similar to the left-field roof deck. The Twins also want to remove some obstructed-view seats and reduce concourse congestion between Gate 34 and Gate 29.
Seats in Sections 139, 140 and 141 will be replaced by seven rows of drink-rail seating, covered by a canopy that will have radiant heating. Those 200 drink-rail seats will be packaged for groups, but when available they'll be sold individually, at prices to be announced.
Next to the drink-rail section, the Twins are constructing an elevated standing-room area, where any fan with a ticket can take in the view from the right-field corner. The facade of the standing-room area will feature the ballpark's familiar Kasota limestone.
The team declined to say how much the project will cost, but it's believed to be far less than the $6 million the Twins spent after the 2010 season adding a second video board and the right-field clock tower.
"We didn't miss much when we designed Target Field; one area we decided we could improve upon was that area in the right-field corner," Matt Hoy, the team's senior vice president of operations, said in his presentation to the Ballpark Authority.

ABOARD THE ROMNEY PLANE EN ROUTE TO BOSTON—Speaking to reporters on the final flight of his campaign plane, Mitt Romney admitted his 2012 bid wasn't "perfect," but said he had no regrets.
"I'm very proud of the campaign that we've run. No campaign is perfect," Romney said. "I'm sure like any campaign people can point to mistakes. But that's the mark of anything that's produced by human beings. ... I feel we have put it all on the field. We left nothing in the locker room. We fought to the very end. ... I think that's why we will be successful."
His voice hoarse from days of back-to-back rallies, Romney said this belief has been emboldened by big crowds in recent days—including one that greeted him at the Pittsburgh airport earlier Tuesday.
"I not only think we're going to win intellectually, I feel it as well," he said.
He added that he has so far written just one speech tonight: A "victory speech" that is 1,118 words.
"But I have, of course, a family and a life that are important to me, win or lose," he added.
Asked about a rumor that he might adopt a puppy after the campaign, Romney laughed. "If, assuming I win, one of the benefits would be to get another Weimaraner," he said.

It's Fall!
Or at least that's what the calendar says. In San Francisco, seasons really aren't much more than what month the calendar is flipped to. (And yes, I still have a real life paper one, and it is always, always, a Hand Turkey Calendar)
Having grown up in Western Massachusetts and Connecticut, it's strange to live somewhere without crunchy leaves and the unmistakable crispness that comes with fall. I miss it. A lot. Winter? That I do not miss. At all. So I'll stay where I am, and enjoy the weather that always feels something like a cross between spring and fall, which happen to be my favorites anyway.
While we don't have the definitive fall weather here in San Francisco, we still get the seasonal produce that brings the same feelings of Autumn. Apples are crisp and juicy, pumpkins are everywhere and in everything (Facebook, Instagram, I'm looking at you), and hard winter squashes begin to replace the zucchini and pattypan varieties.
Don't worry, I'll make my pumpkin contribution to the blogosphere. I have a recipe in the files just waiting for October. But for now, how about a little reminder that this season is known as Harvest Time?
Pear Cardamom Muffinsmakes one dozen muffins
3 ripe pears (about 1 1/2 pounds), divided
3 eggs
¼ C palm shortening or soft butter
3 tablespoons honey

⅛ teaspoon salt
- Preheat oven to 350 and line a muffin pan with parchment liners.
- Roughly chop half of the pears and place in a blender with the eggs, honey and shortening or butter. Blend until smooth.
- Mince the remaining pears and stir into the blended pear mixture.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, arrowroot, coconut flour, baking soda, cardamom, cinnamon and salt.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir to combine. Scoop into muffin tin and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.

Not as expensive as you think for good food Oct 14, 2010
I went to the National Harbor with 2 friends and one suggested McCormick and Schmick's. I whined a little cause I didn't feel like spending that much money; it was bad enough I had to pay to park, but my friend said he'd treat us. Woo hoo!
We went in the summer time and sat outside under an umbrella. The view was great! You have to go inside and see the hostess first-you can't just seat yourself outside, but there was no wait and we went right at lunchtime. The menu was expansive and for a picky eater like me, I found a variety of options. I even changed my mind between when the waiter wrote down my first option to my final order. I ended up getting a pasta dish served with small scallops and alfredo sauce with parmasean cheese. It was really good.
My friend got a burger and we had to help him with the fries and my other friend ordered fish tacos and she said they were really good. I enjoyed the service and ambiance. When the weather's cold, it is just fine to sit inside, but when it's warm, request a table outside and enjoy people watching and looking at the water taxis as they come in.

Lunch at McCormick & Schmick's Harborside May 24, 2009
McCormick & Schmick's new location at National Harbor offers a variety of fresh seafood fare. Our waiter told us the menu is reprinted twice a day as new selections arrive.
Everything was nicely prepared and presented. We started with an appetizer of fried calamari for the table. The calamari came with three sauces--cocktail, remoulade, and a sweet pepper jelly. I selected the Crusted Tilapia for my entree. It was light and flavorful with sides of rice and squash and green beans. I also added a mixed greens salad. Susan and Drew orered the Broiled Seafood Platter (salmon, crabcake, scalops, shrimp, and a stuffed oyster).
The bill for five of us for lunch was quite reasonable.

This editorial will appear in Friday's print edition.
"I know of nothing like it, nothing on this side of the water, and nothing abroad. While I had heard of your Stadium, I had no idea of what an extraordinary feature of your municipal life it is."
– Teddy Roosevelt, 1911
Is there a more beautiful, more historic high school football field in the country than Stadium Bowl?
If there is, we haven't seen or heard of it.
Stadium Bowl, with its spectacular outlook over Commencement Bay and its view of the Stadium High School "castle," has hosted presidential visits, big sporting events and community celebrations. It was there that Babe Ruth put on a batting exhibition, John Philip Sousa and his band played to their largest seated audience ever, and a young Heath Ledger sang and danced while filming "10 Things I Hate About You."
The iconic Tacoma landmark is celebrating its centennial today and Saturday with events ranging from a food drive (organizers hope to set a Guinness World Record for most food collected in a 24-hour period) and football game to an old-fashioned All Community Program.
Getting in and out of the steep bowl can be a challenge, but it's worth it. After all, Stadium Bowl has been a challenge from the very beginning.
It came about because the Tacoma community decided it needed a stadium in the early years of the 20th century. Residents came up with $50,000 through a variety of inventive fund-raising schemes, and the school district chipped in another $100,000. In 1910, Tacoma Stadium opened, having been built for $160,000 (the equivalent of $3.6 million in inflation-adjusted dollars). It was the biggest such facility west of the Mississippi River.
Sure, Stadium Bowl has had its problems – generally ones in the "acts of God" category related to the hydrological fact that water inexorably flows downhill. It's spent nearly 20 years shut down for various repairs after damage by earthquakes (1949 and 1965), sewer line rupture (1932) and a stormwater line overwhelmed by heavy rain (1985).
But the bowl endures – and with a little luck will see another century of providing invigorating stair-climbing exercise and the most astonishingly scenic place to play high school sports.

How to Stand Out
Your "Scholarship Resume"
Are you ready for your "close-up?" It can be daunting when you are confronted with scholarship application forms that require you to discuss your background, extracurricular activities, or community service work. This process does not have to be excruciating – prepare by thinking of it as building your "scholarship resume." Scholarship applications are your time to shine, so don't be modest about your background. Prior to filling out any scholarship applications, take the time to create a list of your career goals, interests, activities, achievements, and any other unique attributes. There are a few approaches to effectively prepare yourself in ways that will boost your profile and distinguish your application from the competition.
Unique Qualifiers
Start by thinking of scholarship applications as a way to showcase your unique qualities: What are your hobbies? Where do you work? Do you volunteer? Do you participate in any sports? Are you a member of any organizations? What else is unique about you? By recognizing certain aspects of your identity, finding scholarships that you qualify for will become easier and creating an outstanding application will be manageable. Unique qualifiers include your employer, ethnicity, disabilities or health conditions, college major, extracurricular activities and athletics, geographic location, standardized test scores, and GPA. Keep in mind that even though there are plenty of available scholarships that do not require good grades, maintaining a higher GPA will still enable you to qualify for more scholarships.
Unique attributes can range from general characteristics like those mentioned above to something as offbeat and specific as your height. Being a vegetarian, bilingual, adopted, a 9/11 victim, or a first-generation student are just a few of the plethora of possible attributes that you can emphasize in your scholarship search and application process.
In addition to yourself, be sure to identify the unique attributes of your family members. Who do your parents or grandparents work for? Which organizations do they belong to? Many organizations and employers provide college scholarships to children and relatives of their employees or members. If you have veterans or military members in your family, you could be eligible for scholarships specifically designed for children and spouses of military members. Also, a large number of scholarship programs are available to students with family members who have battled with cancer or possess another type of health condition or disability.
Clubs and Organizations Related to Your Career Path
Extracurricular activities are a great way to acquire personal experiences that you can write about in your scholarship application. If you haven't already done so, place your passions and interests at center stage by joining a club or organization related to your hobby, intended major, or future career path. For example, if your dream job is to become the editor-in-chief of a newspaper, then join your school newspaper or contribute to a literary magazine. This will reiterate your passion and commitment to scholarship providers. Clubs and organizations such as DECA, National Honor Society, 4-H, student government, choir, band, and theater are just a few among an abundance of options. Beyond high school, colleges and universities have a considerable amount of clubs and professional student associations that are great scholarship resume builders. Professional student associations allow you to explore a career, attend annual conferences, network, and find internship opportunities. Plus, these organizations often offer scholarship opportunities to their members.
Community Service and Volunteering
Make an impact by getting involved in community service and volunteer opportunities. The meaningful experiences you gain will amplify your presence on your scholarship application. Engagement with your community provides opportunities for personal growth and development and helps you develop important life skills such as time-management, problem-solving, and organization. Show everyone what you are truly passionate about by participating in an activity that aligns with your interests. Do you want to pursue a career as a nurse or doctor? Try volunteering at hospitals, nursing homes, or children's hospitals. If you love animals, the Humane Society or local animal shelters could be perfect for you. Libraries, museums, homeless shelters, and other nonprofits are always seeking extra hands. Service learning can also be an opportunity for travel; for example, Habitat for Humanity, an organization devoted to building decent and affordable housing, offers service programs around the world. Even if you apply to scholarships that are not volunteer-based, service activities demonstrate well-roundedness, a quality that contributes significantly to your chances of winning.
Leadership Roles
It's the quality of your experiences, not the quantity. Focus on becoming an active participant and use opportunities to take on roles of responsibility to further demonstrate your commitment to an organization or club. Being an active participant will allow you to draw upon more specific experiences to write about in your scholarship applications, such as overcoming challenges. Leadership positions can make a difference between a lusterless application and an excellent one because they demonstrate that you have initiative and have gained valuable lessons, such as people skills, problem-solving, teamwork, and dealing with conflicts. Opportunities for leadership roles exist in academic and athletic teams, community service and volunteer work, publications, and employment. There are quintessential leadership positions, such as a president, secretary, or treasurer, but unconventional ways of gaining leadership experience include organizing community service projects, joining tutoring or mentoring programs, participating in an event planning committee, or taking leadership development courses.
Completing scholarship applications is a challenging and multi-faceted process, but it doesn't have to be difficult. Scholarship providers want to see who you are as an individual, so continue to your build scholarship resume by gaining leadership experience, volunteering in the community, joining clubs and organizations, and recognizing your unique attributes. The result: a phenomenal application that will separate you from the masses.
Technical Stuff
One of the best ways to make a positive impression with your scholarship application is to be sure that it is executed properly: organized, free of errors, and complete. Scholarship committees often have very specific guidelines to follow when filling out, assembling, and submitting your application. If you don't adhere to these guidelines, it implies that you cannot follow directions and you may even be disqualified as a result. Here are some technical tips on how to make sure your application gives a good impression of you.
Be error-free.
Think about a time when you noticed an error in something you were reading. What did that tell you about the person who wrote it? In a scholarship application, your words are representing you. Errors have the potential to demonstrate carelessness and an inability to effectively communicate. That's why it's so important to make sure everything you write is correct and written to the best of your ability. Distinguish yourself from the competition by making sure your words are expressed in a clear and comprehensive manner. It also helps to have a second pair of eyes look over your application to catch spelling, grammatical, formatting, or style errors you may have missed.
Make it legible.
Always try your best to complete your application by typing it out on the computer. Then print it out or email the file for submission. Not only will this make your application look professional, but it will also be completely legible. Some scholarship providers require you to write your statement directly onto the paper application. If you absolutely must fill out your application by hand, begin by writing out the longer answers on a separate sheet of paper. Proofread your work and then transfer your final draft onto the application in clean, legible handwriting. If your handwriting isn't the best, ask someone with nice handwriting to write it for you.
Follow the directions.
Read through the scholarship materials and directions completely. Then make sure you follow all the directions. Some scholarship committees have very specific instructions, such as stapling the packet together in a particular order or submitting more than one copy of your materials. Directions like these might not seem like a big deal to you, but if the scholarship committee sees that you can't follow simple directions, they aren't very likely to consider you a good candidate for their scholarship. Also be sure you have included everything that was requested. Sometimes scholarship applications include a checklist of the required information – use it!
Be punctual.
Submit your scholarship application before the deadline. Some scholarship committees require your application to be postmarked by the deadline, and some require your application to be in their hands by the deadline. Occasionally committees even go so far as to establish a time of day before which they must receive your application. Many even encourage early submissions. Whatever the case, don't wait until the last minute – make sure your application will arrive on time. Imagine how upset you would be after having put all that effort into an application only to have it disqualified because it arrived late?
The saying, "You never have a second chance to make a first impression" is especially true of scholarship applications. To guarantee your scholarship application best represents you, just be sure to follow all the given directions, make it look polished, and submit it on time.
Your Personal Statement
The personal statement prevails as one of the most common elements of a scholarship application. If the scholarship committee doesn't ask for a general personal statement, they may ask you to write about a specific subject, such as why you need and deserve the scholarship, your future plans and goals, challenges and obstacles you've overcome, why education is important to you, all of these combined, or anything else that the scholarship committee deems important in selecting the winners. Whether you are asked to write a general personal statement, to write about one of the specific topics mentioned above, or to write about a totally different topic, one thing is for sure: you need to make yourself stand out from the crowd!
Because scholarship committees can receive hundreds and even thousands of scholarship applications, it's essential to make sure your application is unique and memorable. Your personal statement is an excellent vehicle to do just that. It's one of the only places in a scholarship application where you have the freedom to write more than just straight information and showcase your personality. Here are some tips to get you off on the right foot.
Start with a bang. Make sure the first sentence and/or paragraph of your statement is an attention-getter and offers a great first impression of you.
Sell yourself. Give the scholarship committee some awesome reasons why you are a great choice for a scholarship winner. Don't be modest; be proud of your achievements.
Tell the truth. Be honest. Write in your own voice and don't try to make yourself sound smarter with complex words. You don't want your essay to sound fake.
Don't be cliché. Avoid using bland words and overused statements that the committee will have already read over and over in other statements. Find unique ways to express your thoughts. Incorporate senses and emotions. Remember, you want to be memorable.
Write actively. Avoid using passive tense. Write in first-person. Use action verbs and be direct with your statements and assertions, especially when referring to your accomplishments.
Be optimistic. Even though you may have encountered hardships and overcome adversity, your goal is not to make the scholarship committee feel sorry for you. Instead, demonstrate how you are a worthy scholarship recipient by explaining how your past experiences helped to make you who you are today, and that you have what it takes to succeed in school and in your future career.
Tailor your statement. Don't use the same personal statement for every scholarship; tailor it for each scholarship you apply to so it fits the qualifications appropriately.
Make connections. Every scholarship is established for a reason. Read the story behind the scholarship and find out why it was established. Then, in your personal statement, draw connections between yourself and the scholarship background or purpose to show why you would be a perfect recipient.
Follow the directions. Thoroughly read the directions and make sure you're following them to a T. Be sure you're appropriately answering the question(s) or addressing the topic(s) that the scholarship committee specified. Stay within any given word or page limits and follow all technical specifications, such as double-spacing and margin settings.
Proofread it. When you are done with the first draft of your statement, proofread it to make sure there are no errors. Spell and grammar check features available in word processors might not catch everything, so don't rely solely on them. Ask a friend, a parent, a teacher, a guidance counselor, or someone else to look over it for you. In addition to spotting errors, they can also make suggestions for any improvements.
A personal statement can be the difference between winning and losing a scholarship. Now that you know what it takes to make yours amazing, you have a much better chance of winning the scholarships of your dreams.

Amman Beach, The Dead Sea Suweimah Reviews
56 reviews
Apr 27, 2007
This reviewer had the opportunity to drive the entire length of the Dead Sea to see how magnificent it really is. I noticed, though, that until you reach the area known as Suweimah, you will not find any beaches. However, this area is where all the Dead Sea hotels are and also a public beach. Now, if you have the money to stay in the hotel and make use of the private beach, go for it! I, however, was on a budget and that was not something I could afford. So, I found a very nice beach called Amman Beach. It costs 10 JD to enter, but inside it has free lockers, a fresh water pool, restaurant, ice cream, plenty of places to sit, etc. It also has access to the Dead Sea where you can go for a float! I would not miss this opportunity, floating in the lowest point on Earth is a great experience...and everything you hear is true! You really can't sink in the thing!

Previous Challenge Entry (Level 3 - Advanced)
Topic: Cooking or Baking (01/04/07)
TITLE: Just Desserts
By Catrina Bradley
"Sweetheart, I never think you're a bother. How can I help?"
"Well, your squash recipe says to add a grated onion. How do you do that? I've never grated an onion."
"I use my food processor. Cut the onion into quarters, then just process it until it's juicy."
"Oh, I can do that. Thanks, Mom. I'll try not to bother you again."
"Felicity, dear, you can call me as often as you want to. I'm happy to be here for you today."
Felicity grabbed a bottle of water and plopped into her favorite chair with a contented sigh. Her chocolate Labrador retriever laid her head in Felicity's lap. Felicity snuggled her and stroked the Hershey-brown coat that inspired the dog's name. "I'm sorry I haven't had time to play with you today, Coco. You're such a good dog. Yes you are."
The house was filled with the mouth-watering aroma of roast pork, the squash casserole was in the oven, and the salad was tossed and waiting in the refrigerator next to the shrimp cocktail appetizers. She had even made the disgusting bread sauce her husband loved.
Their one-year anniversary dinner was going to be such a surprise for Will, especially since she was serving it the day before their anniversary. She suspected that he might have a romantic night out planned for tomorrow. Well .. she hoped, anyway. Her mother-in-law had supplied recipes and instructions for all of Will's favorite dishes, including the piece de resistance – chocolate milkshake cake for desert. His mom had told her it was the one he had always requested for his birthday.
A glance at the clock had Felicity up and moving again. She had just enough time to shower off the cooking grunge and make herself beautiful before Will got home from work. It wouldn't do to have the atmosphere for this great dinner spoiled by looking (and smelling) like she had been slaving in the kitchen all day. She gave her dog a hug and a pat. "Be, good, Coco. I'll be right back."
Will pushed his chair back from the candle-lit table and rubbed his bulging stomach. "Mmmm, Felicity, wow, everything was so good, especially the squash casserole. And I can't believe you made me bread sauce. Thank you."
"Was it as good as your mom's?"
"Better. I didn't think that was possible, but it really was." He let out a loud belch. "Excuse me!"
Felicity giggled. "I guess that means you really did like it. So, do you have room for desert now?"
"Wait .. just a minute." Another belch rumbled from his mouth. "Ok, I think I'm ready now. So tell, me, master chef, what masterpiece did you prepare to top off this perfect dinner?"
"What's your favorite desert?" Felicity held her breath. Please let his mom be right.
"Milkshake cake?" Will's raised eyebrows and expectant expression made him look like a little boy.
"Hmm. Well, let's just see, shall we?" Felicity rose and sauntered out of the dining room.
"Oh, no! Coco!"
"Felicity? What's wrong?" When she didn't answer, Will followed her to the kitchen and found her crouched on the floor weeping. "What? What is it, hon?"
She merely pointed. On the counter she indicated, Will saw an empty cake tin surrounded by crumbs and frosting. His eyes narrowed as they followed the trail of crumbs, where they spied Coco cowering in the corner, licking chocolate frosting from her furry jaws.
"Stupid dog! BAD dog!" Felicity wailed. "She ruined everything!"
Will lifted Felicity off the floor and into his arms. "Honey, shhh, it's ok. Everything's not ruined. Believe me, that dinner was awesome. I'll tell you what. I'll take Coco for a long walk. She probably needs it after eating an entire cake. And while I'm gone, you can just whip me up another one. How's that sound?" Will grinned, and winked at her.
She pummeled his chest in mock anger, and laughed. "Yes, please take her for a walk. Get her out of my sight. Maybe, if you're good, I'll make you another milkshake cake for your birthday. And that dog will be at your Mom's house."

I know there's different ways to meditate, but is there any difference in affects of meditation according to the position you choose to meditate in? I know some people choose to meditate with their legs crossed (some people call this 'indian style'), some people choose to sit in a normal sitting position that you'd be in while properly sitting in a chair, and others choose to meditate while laying down, but other then the physical position you are in does this make a difference with your meditation?
Personally, I prefer to meditate with my legs crossed (indian style), and I haven't noticed to much of a difference when I meditate in any other position except that if I meditate while laying down I usually fall asleep. I'm mostly just wondering how these positions may affect you and/or your meditation as well as whether or not their is some affect I may not have noticed when I tried these positions.

Nurse in Practice conference promotes red meat
Red meat's health attributes will be at the forefront of the Nursing in Practice conference in Wales this month.
Welsh red meat promotion agency Hybu Cig Cymru (HCC) will be present at the event to run a survey on what nurses think constitutes a healthy diet. The agency's consumer executive, Elwen Roberts, said: "We will be there to offer nurses accurate and balanced information on how red meat can help play a role in helping a patient fully recover after illness, or simply as part of a general healthy lifestyle."
Published nutritionist Dr Carrie Ruxton is scheduled to give a talk on the key benefits of red meat and how health professionals can advise patients who wish to eat it.
The conference will take place at Cardiff's City Hall on 19 October. HCC has also produced a series of booklets and cookbooks that will be available at the event.
Recently, a poster campaign featuring rugby ace Chris Paterson was launched in Scotland's schools to highlight the health benefits of red meat.

To top it all off, it has a MODEST nature! I'm really excited. But I'm torn on whether I should migrate it to my platinum to EV train it, or keep it in my 3rd gen game. Any thoughts on what I should do?

Wow, only 89 SRs for Terrakion?! That's some luck right there, gratz! Huge congratz to Cpchris on finally getting that Eevee! Nice to see all your patience pay off. Btw, I think you should go with the first option also, with the encounters to keep it the same as Litwick.
Well I'm now at day 3 for Mesprit and I know its a little too early for it to shine but I hope it doesn't take too long. I still have 6 more SR targets after this! Well good luck everyone and gratz on that Tropius, 2rsa! Its such a cool shiny that not many people have.. I want it! lol but gratz everyone and to those stuck in some long hunts, hang in there! They'll eventually shine for you.

Just wanted to say congrats for all the new shinies that have been obtained: Eevee, Chikorita, Terrakion, Cleffa and every other one I can't remember right now!
Just hit 1,000 encounters at Village Bridge and I hope to get to at least 1,250 today. Thanks to the help of my friends I have the shiny charm so hopefully this shiny will come fairly soon. Quick question: If I do get the shiny Zangoose that I'm looking for, would it count for the community hunt being that its claws are a bright red?
Thanks in advance!

Comgratulations on all the new shines guys. So yesterday my brother was soft resetting for a shiny starter on SoulSilver and after 81 tries a shiny Cyndaquil appeared. This morning he wanted to try and get a different shiny starter and I let him use my HeartGold. Less than 1000 Soft Resest later he gets a shiny Totodile! Some people have all the luck!

I wouldn't mind too much tho, seeing as it IS one of my fave shines

Okay so my question didn't get answer again(can palkia/dialga on pearl/diamond be shiny the first time I encounter it, after beating team galatica or can it only be shiny after i beat the elite4
"Congrats on all the shinies. "
Spoiler:- Shiny Trainer Card:
Exactly, it's possible to happen.
Congrats on all the shinies, Terrakion in 89 SRs is some luck!
I've been hunting Mareep in Soul Silver for 2 weeks now, I figured if I get it in february I can count it towards the CH. The hunt has hit 5600 REs and I really want it to shine soon.
Hunting in the place I got meowth has gone up to 2200 REs so thats going quite quick (Double Encountering). I really hope that if anything shines that it is Mareep though, but I can just see another meowth appearing in FR/LG.
Anyways Good luck to everyone !

Btw guys, does anyone know if you still get the shiny star animation thing when you have battle scene off in HG/SS?

Sorry, no shiny here, but congrats on the recent shinies, Tropius, Charmander, Eevee and Terrakion, to name a few. My current RE count is 6200 now, which means I've done 2000 this weekend, which is quite impressive progress, at the least. I've still got some time to RE more, but that's all I got for today. Meanwhile, good luck everyone!

Congrats to 2sra on Tropius, It is I on Terrakion, Shravanian on Charmander, BurningBlaze's brother on Cyndaquil and Totodile, Royal Qeca on Watchog, and DittoPokemon97 on Zangoose!
And thanks for the congratulations on my Eevee
Well, after work and some errands today, I was able to do 100 Piplup SRs while doing 200 REs in Virbank Complex where I'm EV training Eevee and hunting Growlithe, who was long ago chosen as my second shiny target in Black 2.
I've left my forum avatar as a non-shiny Umbreon all this time, waiting to actually have shiny Umbreon before making him my avatar...Can't wait to change it soon I also might just put my shiny card up once I have Umbreon, too...I know it seems pointless to have a card up with just 2 shinies (I was actually going to wait till I had at least 3), but eh.
Good luck everyone

The Prime Minister personally intervened after Anne Milton, a junior Health Minister, suggested that milk distribution could be axed as part of the Government's austerity drive.
Downing Street denied that the swift rejection was made to save Mr Cameron from accusations which dogged one of his predecessors, Baroness Thatcher, who as education secretary in the 1970s was dubbed "Thatcher, Thatcher, milk snatcher" for a similar suggestion.
Instead, the Prime Minister's official spokesman said that he had been moved to step in to protect free milk for reasons of nostalgia.
"This is a policy that has been in place since the Second World War," she added.
Mrs Milton had said that there was little evidence to show that the provision of free milk did anything to improve health among children from underprivileged families.
But the spokesman insisted: "You have to look at the impact on poorer, more vulnerable members of society. The Prime Minister felt that keeping milk for the under-fives was part of that."
The idea, contained in a leaked letter to the Scottish government, was rejected by Downing Street so rapidly that David Willetts, the Universities Minister, was confronted with the about-turn while defending it live on air.

Pogba just too tired to start flying in new season, says Lloris
Paris, Oct 10 (IANS) France football team captain Hugo Lloris believes Paul Pogba's slow start in the new season can be put down to his exertions at last summer's European championship.
"There are a lot of players who played in the European Championship and are experiencing physical difficulties at this moment," the Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper told media ahead of France's visit to the Netherlands for a 2018 World Cup qualifier on Monday.
"Their preparation was not ideal for the new season. Paul is one of them. And he has to take on a record transfer to Manchester United," he said.
As the world's most expensive player, the 23-year-old Pogba offered only one goal and zero assist in eight appearances in the English Premier League (EPL) new season.
The former Juventus midfielder, who helped France to the final of the European Championship on home soil, returned to Manchester United for a record total fee of $124.14 million (100 million pounds).
Lloris, however, has faith in the box-to-box midfielder and believes he will soon improve, reports Xinhua.
"I can understand the high expectations around him," said Lloris. "There are also expectations from the dressing room, from the staff and the coach."
"But France is a team and not only one player. We have to be complementary to get the best performance".
"Paul has everything to be a great player but we always ask him to back that up. He can show it in a big game," he added.

Grilled Peaches with Black Pepper and Basil-Lime Syrup
You'll likely have leftover basil-lime syrup, which is a great problem to have—it's delicious stirred into cocktails or added to sparkling water.
food styling by Chelsea Zimmer
Don't let that fire die out after the main course.
You'll likely have leftover basil-lime syrup, which is a great problem to have—it's delicious stirred into cocktails or added to sparkling water.
This grown-up version of s'mores, served on baguette slices and topped with grilled strawberries, just may rival the original.
Pretty much all stone fruits, whether it be apricots, peaches, or plums, are worthy contenders for this easy recipe.
While a classic banana split is all well and good, once you've had this grilled version, you may never look back.
In theory, campfire s'mores are amazing, but the reality is often a stale graham cracker sandwich filled with thick pieces of unmelted chocolate and gooey marshmallows oozing out the sides. This sandwich cookie makes your s'mores dreams come true. The honey and cinnamon-spiked soft cookie is big enough to hold not one, but two toasted marshmallows, and the thin chocolate coating melts perfectly inside.
Sprinkling the zucchini bread with sugar before grilling it ensures that it will get a nice, caramelized crust on the outside.
Use a combination of your favorite fruits for this simple and light dessert.
Fresh raspberries get warm and jammy when tucked into this grilled panini.
A sprinkle of curry powder and sugar on each the mango halves help bring out their sweetness and unique flavor.
Serve this tart and sweet fruit right on the skewers for fun presentation.

Leave it to The Bold and the Beautiful to keep another story bombshell well under wraps that no one saw it coming!
On Wednesday's episode of the CBS Daytime series, after Quinn (Rena Sofer) heads to her place after a contentious conversation with her daughter-in-law Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), and her son Wyatt(Darin Brooks) about her past wrongdoings and manipulations involving Liam (Scott Clifton), something shocking occurs.
Quinn gets back to her place closes the door, and then all of a sudden gets her sexy seductress smirk on! She says to the person in her bed, "Oh, good. You're still here. I can't get enough of you!" When the camera pans up on a naked male leg, we see it's none other than Eric Forrester (John McCook) who Quinn is making out with.
But is it really Eric? Could it be a doppelganger? Or, is it possible that Eric and Quinn have been having a secret relationship for quite some time? Just what on earth is Quinn up to now? Could this all be a figment of her imagination?
Social media was abuzz following the east coast airing of B&B with John McCook taking to his Twitter account stating: "SO glad we were able to keep this a secret…Big smile on MY face today!! So much to come!!"
So, were you shocked to see Eric in bed waiting for Quinn? What do you think is going on? Is it Eric? If so, how long has this liaison been going on? Watch the big reveal after the jump. Then, share your theories on the shocker in the comment section below!

Hi everyone, Several of the commenters had trouble with the current organization of A.0.1 (which in fact still has a temporary number). I've been trying to think what to do about this and it seems to me that a change here could be part of a larger "tweaking" of Part A. So here's the idea: 1. Move "Guideline A.4: Authoring Tool User Interface must be Access System Friendly" up to the top and rename it: "Guideline A.1: Authoring tool must facilitate access by assistive technologies" 2. Move A.0.1 under this reworked guideline with an explanation that one of the aspects of WCAG conformance is better communication with the user agent "platform" and the assistive technologies that it communicates with. 3. Split the "Success Criteria sections" of all of the checkpoints in the existing Perceivable (new A.2), Operable (new A.3), Understandable (new A.4) guidelines into 3 groupings (where applicable - since not all checkpoints will have all three types of success criteria): (a) Success criteria for *user interface "chrome"* (b) Success criteria for *rendered content display* (c) Success criteria for additional authoring support I think this would have benefits in terms of clarity and might also be a structure that we could approach the UAWG about using (For them the third item could be something like "Additional browsing support SC"). 4. We could then tighten up the old A.0.1 wording to make it clear that conforming to WCAG usually satisfies the SC's for *user interface "chrome"* and *rendered content display* but not the "SC for additional authoring support". 5. This has the happy side effect that we can tighten up some wording in A.2.9 (the "preview" checkpoint) that has been bugging me: "the preview meets all of the checkpoints in Part A.". This made less sense when our success criteria included authoring related things but with these broken out into their own SC category, we can be more specific that we meant SC's for *user interface "chrome"* and *rendered content display*. Optional 6. We might also consider bringing in a reference to UAAG as JUST ONE OF THE OPTIONS (ie. conforming to UAAG would not be necessary) for conforming with the SC's for *user interface "chrome"* and *rendered content display* but (as with WCAG) not the "SC for additional authoring support". (I suggest this because authoring tools built on browser rendering engines might be interested in killing two birds with one stone) Thoughts?

Brody may have been great as Polanski's Pianist, but in this slick, English-language, NYC-set cautionary tale (from a novel by Wang Shuo), he hasn't much of a chance. He plays a hustler, con-man and all round jerk who seduces and begins to ruin the prospects of a brilliant young student. She can't let go, and he won't let anyone near his secret sensitive side (he wants to write a novel, natch). A Beauty and the Beast fable of innocence and experience, it's irritatingly obvious and superficial.

- Litigation Seeking to Establish Climate Change Impacts as a Common Law Nuisance
- This report discusses recent legislative initiatives seeking to establish climate change impacts as a common law nuisance. The report explains what private and public nuisances are, the issues faced by policymakers when litigating a climate-change/nuisance suit, and also discusses five climate-chance/nuisance suits that are now or formerly active, as a basis of comparison. The report also explores arguments of those both for and against addressing the complex issue of climate change through common law suits.
- International Climate Change: A Negotiations Side-by-Side
- This report discusses various cooperative international efforts to address the issue of global climate change. The two major international agreements discussed in a side-by-side comparison are the 1997 Kyoto Protocol and the 2010 Copenhagen Accord. The report discusses how many observers are hoping that initiatives carried out under the Copenhagen Accord may help bridge divides between the various tracks and economic groupings established under the Kyoto Protocol.
- Changes in the Arctic: Background and Issues for Congress
- The diminishment of Arctic sea ice has led to increased human activities in the Arctic, and has heightened concerns about the region's future. Issues such as Arctic sovereignty claims; commercial shipping through the Arctic; Arctic oil, gas, and mineral exploration; endangered Arctic species; and increased military operations in the Arctic could cause the region in coming years to become an arena of international cooperation, competition, or conflict. This report provides an overview of Arctic-related issues for Congress, and refers readers to more in-depth CRS reports on specific Arctic-related issues.
