A nice tour today, headed out at 13pm to see the Eyjafjord humpbacks.It was quite windy in the harbour but as it was coming in from the south it was still a nice sail out into the fjord. Temperature was high for this time of year 10C, we didn't even need to wear the overalls but they were useful for the ride home to protect from the splashes coming over the bow but move wanted to be inside the warm saloon at that time. The humpback whales were waiting for us in the usual spot, just east of Hjalteyri and again quite spread out, some close to the west coast and some on the east. In all the were at least 10 individuals in the area. Some of the regulars were still around; 'Max', 'Pepper' and 'Avalanche' were the main individuals we could recognize as the others were not lifting their flukes very high, very lazy whales around this afternoon. Another nice time with the Eyjafjord humpbacks.

If you didn't find any new albums on iTunes or in your local music store earlier this week, it's because beginning July 10, new music around the world is being released on Fridays.
For more than 25 years, Tuesday has been the standard release day for new albums in America — a tradition Keith Caulfield, co-director of charts at Billboard, says had a lot to do with shipping in the pre-digital era.
"One particular retailer might get that album on, say, Monday morning before they open," Caulfield says. "And they can have it on their shelf. Boom, great! So, if you walk in and you want Michael Jackson's new Bad album, they will have it."
"However," he continues, "a store a couple blocks down the road may have not got their shipment." That store couldn't do anything but wait until it showed up.
In 1989, the recording industry settled on Tuesday as the day every retailer could start selling new releases at the same time — but that was just in the U.S. Albums came out on Mondays in the U.K. and Canada, Fridays in Australia and Germany. Recently, the industry decided it needed a global standard.
"In the digital world, you can't make consumers wait," says Adrian Strain, head of communications for the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), a trade group representing over 1,300 record labels worldwide.
Under the old system, Strain says, a fan in Britain could buy a new album on Monday and upload it — so her friend in Australia could listen before it came out there on Friday.
Strain says "New Music Fridays," the nickname for the new global release schedule, "should give less reason for those people who can't get the new release legally to go to illegal sites."
The new release date isn't just popular with industry officials. The IFPI asked consumers across eight countries when they would like to get new music. Of those who expressed an opinion, 68 percent said Friday or Saturday.
Still, album sales have been declining for years. Nielsen SoundScan just released its midyear report, and total album sales are down 4 percent over the same period last year. Total album consumption was up, thanks in part to the growth in music streaming services.
So, it might not seem to really matter when albums come out. But it does to the people who still sell them, like those at Amoeba Music in Hollywood, which calls itself the world's largest independent record store. Co-founder Marc Weinstein says he was not consulted about the new global album release day.
"It's not something we would choose to have happen," Weinstein says. "I mean, it's a logistic nightmare on a lot of levels."
Weinstein explains that Amoeba now has to change its ad schedule, weekend staffing and live in-store performances, which were typically held when albums came out on Tuesdays.
"It gave us an opportunity to get a bump in the middle of the week when a lot of people would come in on a Tuesday, which normally wouldn't be a busy day," he says.
With many stores already struggling to survive, "this is gonna be perceived as kind of another nail in the coffin for brick-and-mortar retail, and it's kind of sad that no one takes any of that into account when they make these kind of fundamental changes in the way things work," Weinstein says.
Adrian Strain says not everyone will be happy with such a big change — but that the industry can only follow what it thinks the music fan wants.

You don't have to be near a Google Home speaker for this feature to work, either.
With the update in place, users can set off Assistant on their smartphone to send messages to all Assistant-enabled speakers within their home. IN the meantime, we can also expect additional features to get rolled out as hinted by Google in its announcement last month.
"We're excited to work with ecobee to offer Google Assistant users even more choice in managing and controlling their home environments", said Mark Spates, Google Product Manager. In order to make this happen, Google is rolling out updates which make will broadcast messages easier.
The feature can be used whenever the user wants pass along a message to notify their friends or family. The basic requirement for the broadcast are two or more Google Home or Home minis on the same WiFi network.
For instance, just say, "OK Google, broadcast it's time for school!"
You can adjust your room thermostat on the go just by giving voice command like "Ok Google, Make my room warmer".
The new Broadcasts are available and rolling out on assistant phones and speakers from today, however it may take longer for these services to arrive, because of Google's slower time-frames. It's joining a bunch of other IoT platforms, such as Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings, Wink, and IFTTT, so you have quite a few smart assistant options if you own one of these thermostats. After that, it'll play on every other speaker that's linked to the same Google account.
The next time you need to round up the family in the morning, just say "Ok Google, broadcast it's time for school!" and all your Google Home speakers will broadcast the message that it's time for school.
See Google's help center for more examples on how to use this feature.

I know, I know. You hear it everywhere.
"They grow up too quick" or "I remember when my kids were that young" or "Play with them while they enjoy you"
You listen and you try so hard. You play with them. You read to them. You love them unconditionally, yet sometimes want to soak in a bath and forgot that you ever had them (very rare. very rare).
"Play with your kids, while they want to play with you. Time passes quickly." – Dick Klaas (aka. My Dad)
I know I've said this before, but my dad was a pretty cool guy. I didn't know this was one of "his quotes" until he said it one night at a dinner (2011) with my closest friends. He never even "preached" for me to live this with my own family. It just happened, and that is the best way. I think about my childhood and how often he played with me. How often he lived his motto. How often he sat down and helped me create the 'perfect living room' in my dollhouse. How he let me jump in bed with him on a Sunday morning to read the morning comics. How he read whatever book I chose, even if it was the same one over and over and over again. How we would play my favorite card game for hours on end.
I don't feel like I ever didn't want to play with him…. even as I got older, we moved into playing "real" card games, we played sports together, and we just hung out together. Now don't get me wrong I am sure there were days he looked at his youngest daughter thinking how fast she has grown up, how he wants those moments back, and how he didn't want to "let me go". Or at least I imagine he did….
It's ironic really… 4 short months after he told me his "rules of parenthood" (this being one of them), I lost him to Multiple Myeloma. We all learned that "time passes quickly".
This week is one of those weeks that I truly enjoyed every moment I shared with my children… their giggles, the way they wanted to cuddle with me, the excitement in their eye when I chased them around the front yard, their cute little drawings, watching them in their classrooms, their crazy questions…. it's all just… so darn cute.
So, on Father's Day, and with summer break quickly approaching… I ask you one thing. Play with your kids. Enjoy them. Put your housework aside, phones away, and sit on the floor and play with them. Don't focus on "when is summer over" but rather "how much fun are we going to have today". Get out and do things! Make it fun! Enjoy! Celebrate!
To all you father's out there, Happy Father's Day. You have one heck of an important job!
A special thank you to my husband, who does this "job" with all his heart and keeps our family a "well oiled machine". To us, you are absolutely perfect.

Sick of wasting your time trying to peel boiled eggs by hand?
Watch as you learn to peel a boiled egg in a glass of water. Place a boiled egg in a glass and fill it with water. Cover the top with your hand and shake vigorously for a few seconds. The egg will crack like a spider web, sending splits all throughout and causing it to bust open.
The shell slips off just enough that a quick pull sends it right off the egg. You now have a boiled egg that's ready to eat. The best part, this technique takes five seconds and doesn't leave you with a headache.
This demonstration benefits anyone who makes boiled eggs.
There are other ways to peel a boiled egg, but none seem to be as simple as this one. You literally just have to throw an egg in a glass of water and shake, then it's ready to go. If it doesn't come off easy, you can just cover the glass and do it again.

Never mind famous Ohioans like Thomas Edison, the Wright Brothers, literary figures– like my favorite James Thurber–, not to mention the eight Presidents who came from Ohio– I nominate Johnny Appleseed as the Favorite Son of Ohio. After all my ancestors in aprons could not get along without apples!
When it comes to Johnny Appleseed, nee John Chapman, myth mixes with reality. His life was so odd and so many tales grew up around him, that he reached legendary stature. I would like to think that one of my Ohio ancestors might have met up with Johnny Appleseed, who was roaming through Northern Ohio from about 1792 until he died in 1845 (or maybe 1848).
However, only my maternal grandmother's ancestors–the Bassetts (arrived in Ohio from New Hampshire in 1816), the Stouts (arrived from Pennsylvania in 1824) and particularly the Cochrans ( from Pennsylvania – 1798) were in Ohio early enough. However the Stouts and Cochrans lived in Guernsey County a bit south of Johnny Appleseed's territory. So we must hope that one of the Bassetts came across the mythical figure.
Family members wanted to believe that the old apple tree in my grandmother's back yard in Killbuck Ohio was planted by Johnny, but my father said it wasn't old enough. However, it could have been grown from the seeds or a start from an authentic Johnny Appleseed tree, couldn't it?
I don't know if Johnny is still celebrated in schools in Ohio today, but we used to study the deeds (real or imagined) of Johnny Appleseed and put on skits and draw pictures of the man with the saucepan on his head for a hat. I know they hold Johnny Appleseed Days in Apple Creek, not far from where I grew up, and I'll bet they serve apple dumplings. But for the most part, he seems today to be relegated to children's books. Dennis Day in the Story of Johnny Appleseed was made in 1964. Garrison Keillor made another Johnny Appleseed movie last year.
Ohio author and early environmentalist Louis Bromfield wrote about Johnny Appleseed in his book Pleasant Valley.
He was most known for distributing apple seeds and shoots of apple trees to pioneers in the Ohio country wilderness. When I was growing up, just about everyone would claim that Johnny Appleseed planted "that old apple tree over yonder" on their property.
The American Indians of Ohio revered Johnny because what the white population saw as "tetched"–his communication with animals and always sleeping in nature–the Indians saw as a sign that he was holy–in touch with nature– and they welcomed him into their camps. Johnny not only was friendly with the animals, but he preached brotherhood and peace everywhere that he went.
Sometimes when he was hanging out around an Indian camp, he overheard Indians planning an attack and he would slip away and warn the settlers, thus saving their lives.
Bromfield also claimed that Johnny scattered fennel seeds because early clearings caused swampy conditions, mosquitoes bred and malaria spread. Writing in the 1945, Bromfiled said:
Whatever the truth of Johnny Appleseed, I know how important apples were to Ohio pioneers and still are to cooks today. After all, I do have ancestors who had apple orchards on their farm.
Do you have any family stories about Johnny Appleseed?
My ancestors cooked endless varieties of apple desserts. My mother (Harriette Anderson Kaser) made the old favorite, apple dumplings, every once in a while as the main course of dinner. We would have it in a bowl with some milk, and perhaps some bologna slices or cheese slice on the side. But apple dumplings were dinner.
Harriette's Apple Dumplings
|Prep time
|20 minutes
|Cook time
|35 minutes
|Total time
|55 minutes
|Milk, Wheat
|Meal type
|Child Friendly, Freezable, Pre-preparable
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 Cup butter
- 1/2 Cup milk
- 4 apples (pare, core, and slice in half or pieces)
- 1/4lb sugar
- 1 Teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 Teaspooon nutmeg or mace
- 2 tablespoons butter
Although I combined recipes from various sources, the fact is that my mother generally used Bisquick to make the crust for the apple dumplings. Dumplings also work with the Perfect Pie Crust recipe, if you have extra on hand.
The number of apples depends on size of apples and how large you want to make your dumplings. I could have made prettier dumplings by not putting so many apple slices in each one. As it was, I had left over apple slices that I scattered in the pan.
Likewise, the amount of sugar depends on the sweetness of the apples.
The Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook suggests making a sugar/water syrup with red food coloring which is poured over before baking. The old Buffalo Evening News Cook Book from the 20s has cooks pour boiling water half way up in the pan, which would result in a soggy dumpling more like the kind in Chicken and Dumplings. Mother's dumplings were crispier than a boiled dumpling, and that's the way we like them.

VHL-Associated Optic Nerve Hemangioblastoma Treated with Stereotactic Radiosurgery
Central nervous system hemangioblastomas are generally restricted to the cerebellum, spinal cord, and brainstem. Supratentorial hemangioblastomas are uncommon, and optic nerve hemangioblastomas are extremely rare, with fewer than 25 reports including this case. In this report, we present the case of a 36-year-old woman with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease who presented with progressive diminution of vison in the left eye due to a retrobulbar optic nerve hemangioblastoma. The patient had a history of cerebellar /spinal hemangioblastomas and pancreatic cysts, and her father and brother were patients with VHL disease. Gadolinium enhanced MRI showed intraorbital retrobulbar enhanced mass on the left optic nerve. The optic nerve hemangioblastoma was treated with fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery using Novalis. Eighteen months after the stereotactic radiosurgery, the tumor volume decreased although the patient lost vision. This report presents an extremely rare case of optic nerve hemangioblastoma, which is the first case treated with stereotactic radiosurgery.

9 Unexpected Ways Orange Peels Are Way More Useful Than You Think
The fresh scent and essential oils in oranges make orange peels an excellent natural cleaner and air freshener.
Refresh your fridge

Does your refrigerator smell sour? A few orange peels thrown into the mix can sweeten up the scent in no time. Meg Roberts, president of cleaning service Molly Maid, suggests filling an orange rind with salt and leaving it in the fridge. "The salt will absorb odor and moisture in the refrigerator's air, while the fruit will leave behind its citrus scent," she says. Once the salt becomes damp, take the peel out and replace it with a new one as needed. Here are 27 other annoying smells you can neutralize with items in your kitchen.
Clean wood surfaces

Not only will repurposing your orange peels to wipe down your wood surfaces leave your tables and cabinets clean and shiny, but they'll smell great, too. Combine your leftover citrus peels with vinegar to create an all natural, non-toxic cleaner with this recipe from the Kitchn: Fill a mason jar halfway with orange peels, pour vinegar over the top until the jar is filled, and then let the mixture sit for at least two weeks. After letting it soak, strain the concoction to remove the peels, pour it into a spray bottle, and you're good to go! These are other chemical-free ways to clean your home.
Polish stainless steel

Similar to their effects on wood, citrus peels remove water stains by cutting through them with their tough, natural oils. A few rubs and your stainless steel surfaces should be good as new.
Keep your closet smelling clean

If your closet begins racking up that old, musty smell, Roberts suggests placing orange peels in old pantyhose and sticking them with your clothes. "Like potpourri, these can be placed anywhere in the closet, whether it's on a shelf or in drawers," Roberts says. To keep your closet smelling fresh, replace the peels as they dry out. Here's what to throw away the next time you clean out your closet, to help keep musty smells at bay.
Condition your locks

We all know that the loads of vitamin C found in oranges helps build up your immune system, but who knew it could work wonders for your hair, too? To make a homemade orange peel conditioner, just throw an orange—with its peel still attached—into a blender, apply the serum to the full length of your hair, and enjoy your soft, smooth new 'do, suggests beauty blog beautytipslife. Check out these 19 natural hair treatments.
Soften brown sugar

Any baker knows that leaving a bag of brown sugar in your pantry can lead to rock-hard clumps, but fortunately, orange peels can help prevent this. Citrus peels are hardwired to maintain moisture, so keeping a few pieces in with your brown sugar will allow the peel's moisture to spread throughout the container. Simply toss a few slices of peel into your box, and watch the sugar return to its state of softness in just a few hours. Here are more storage tricks to make foods last longer.
Remove stinky sink odors

Need a quick fix for a stinky sink? Toss a few orange peels down your garbage disposal to eliminate any odor in a pinch. According to Roberts, citrus peels naturally contain oils and juices that cut through the grease and grime that can build up in garbage disposals, leaving your drain spotless and smelling great.
Repel bugs
iStock/Rouzes, iStock/pederk
According to sfgate.com, orange peels contain a 90 to 95 percent concentration of limonene, a chemical that is toxic to mosquitoes, flies, and other bugs. Placing snippets of orange peels around your yard or near your doors and windows is a simple and inexpensive way to keep pesky bugs and mosquitoes out. For individual use, simply rub the peel on areas of your skin to steer clear of bug bites. These are 8 other foods that will keep bugs at bay.
Build a better bonfire

Putting your old orange peels to use can help you have the tallest flames on the block. The natural oils found in orange peels are flammable and offer a slower burn than a typical fire starter, like twigs or newspaper. And they smell a lot better, too!

Payment options: Paypal, bank transfer or cheque, payable to Sail Boat Project CIC and sent to our address at 130 Hollingbury Park Avenue, Brighton, BN1 7JP. Bank details are available on request.
The balance of payment is due 42 days (or 6 weeks) before the start date of the days' sailing or course.
If you book within that 42 day period then the full cost of the sailing or course is immediately due.
Please note that if you are taking advantage of a discount or special offer only one of these can be used, they cannot be combined.
If you cancel your sailing activity with us:
• Deposits are non-refundable.
• Cancellations made within 42 days of the start date of the holiday / course result in the full payment being non-refundable. This is unless we can fill your place, in which case you will forfeit the deposit or 25% of the course fee if full payment has been made.
• Cancellations made more than 42 days before the start date of the holiday will result in the balance of payments being refunded if they were paid in advance. A portion of the deposit may still be held by Sail Boat Project to cover costs that we may have incurred, but usually we can return the full amount.
We therefore recommend you take out insurance which will cover you should you need to cancel your booking.

The Imperial Camel Corps, formed in January 1916 was a camel mounted infantry. It operated in the Middle East and Africa, and was truly international. The ICC had soldiers from Australia, India, Canada, New Zealand and Britain; among them were six men from The Rocks.
The men of the Imperial Camel Corps were renowned to be a rough bunch and many commanders transferred their more difficult characters to the unit. Of the six Rocks men who served, two ended up in Military Prison and four were charged at some stage of their careers. However, it was tough and independent men that were required for this unusual corps. They participated in at least 18 battles with distinction, including the Battle of Beersheba and operated with TE Lawrence (the legendary Lawrence of Arabia).
Arthur Rupert St Ledger grew up in The Rocks and was 24 working as a station hand when he enlisted in the Light Horse on 16 December 1914. He first saw action at Gallipoli on 6 August 1915 during the Battle of Lone Pine and The Nek.
In September 1915, Arthur had a finger amputated following a bomb wound to his right hand. After leaving the hospital he was transferred to the Imperial Camel Corps.
Arthur, like many in the AIF was not enamoured with military discipline and was occasionally in trouble. His list of indiscretions included:
Arthur managed to stay out of trouble for the rest of the war. He was awarded the 1914-1915 Star, British War Medal and Victory Medal. Arthur re-enlisted in World War II.

Fake fabric
The fake fabric is so unbreathable it causes so much overheating I had to take out the duvet after the first night and sleep just under the duvet cover. Even that was too hot so I switched to sleeping under the duvet with no cover which was a giant waste of money. I lay it over in the morning so it looks nice. Spend the extra on real cotton.
Thank you for your product review on our website. We always welcome feedback, whether it is positive or negative. We are sorry to see from your review that you did not fully enjoy the usability of our Madison 7-Piece Duvet Cover Set. You are correct. There is a difference between polyester products and cotton products when it comes to breath-ability of the fabric and heat accumulation. This type of product (100% polyester duvet) is not recommended for warm and/or humid climates, specially outside of the winter season, but on the other hand some customers still use it as decorative accessory in their bedroom during the summer time without using the duvet cover overnight.

One of the trends picking up steam in the fitness/nutrition world is the Ketogenic Diet, so I thought I'd share some basics here to help you understand what it is.
The Ketogenic diet (keto diet) is a very low-carb diet where the body produces ketones in the liver to be used as energy.
Instead of carbs, the diet consists of mainly fats and moderate protein.
Here's some science behind carbohydrates:
- Glucose is the easiest molecule for your body to convert and use as energy so that it will be chosen over any other energy source.
- Insulin is produced to process the glucose in your bloodstream by taking it around the body.
Since the glucose is being used as a primary energy, your fats are not needed and are therefore stored.
Typically on a normal, higher carbohydrate diet, the body will use glucose as the main form of energy. By lowering the intake of carbs, the body is induced into a state known as ketosis.
What are The Benefits of a Ketogenic Diet?
-Weight Loss
-Reduced risk for diabetes
-Reduced Risk of cancers
-Improved heart health
-Less inflammation in the body
What Does a Ketogenic Diet Consist of?
Since the keto diet is composed of mainly fats, you will NOT be eating sandwiches and spaghetti that's for sure! But what CAN you eat?
-Nuts, seeds, nut butters
-Coconut oil, olive oil, avocado oil, macadamia oil
-Meat of all kinds. Most keto experts recommend grass-fed beef and fattier cuts of chicken and pork, lamb
-Eggs, butter, full-fat dairy
-Vegetables- all kinds
The keto diet restricts carbohydrates but there are still plenty of options to eat.
Things can get tricky when you go out to eat so if you do, plan accordingly. You can usually get a salad with a piece of meat on top or cottage cheese or eggs.
There's been a lot of research on ketogenic diets and this will continue.
It remains to be seen how effective the diet is for athletes but there is a great book called The Art and Science of Low Carb Performance by Jeff Volek.
Check it out- and his other book- The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living
My own experience with a keto diet was promising.
I spent approximately 2 months on a keto diet.
I lost some weight (not my goal at the time) and I felt great mental clarity after the first week.
I have to be honest, the first week was rough. But I got over it.
I had to make sure to eat enough as I was very hungry at my normal carb-heavy meal times.
I had to get over the general mental fog and fatigue that comes from switching from using carbs for energy to ketones.
Forcing your body to use fat as energy is a change and you will go through a transition. But it's not that difficult really.
You can do it if you really want to.
p.s. Remember to talk to your medical practitioner. If you have any pre-existing conditions you need to know what your doctor recommends.
What's the best training program to go along with a ketogenic diet?

Last Weekend, Whenever: Rust – A Killington Opening Video
Stunts: Jake Fournier, Maggie Leon, Evan Bloch, Savannah Shinske, Chris Depaula, and Joey Leon
Words by Joey Leon
Killington finally opened for the 17/18 season on November 9, so we got up there by 8 am! At least we meant to. In actuality, we woke up around 10 and devoted a couple hours to shenanigans before actually heading up to the mountain. It took us some time to put our on boots and get up to the lift, which put us at about 12:30 by the time we were riding. Close enough.
Jake Fournier, Savannah Shinske and myself were there in hopes of getting some clips of ourselves, and we just happened to meet up with a bunch of other people we hadn't seen in a while, which definitely added to the hype. It was also our first time using a new lens, which made for extra nervous energy about getting a lens hit. After a day of mostly slipping off and falling, we headed home – which involved a hike up the stairs to the top of the K1. This took a lot more effort than any of us were ready for.
We decided to stop for a spliff break, but right behind us was mountain ambassador (aka the fun police), who told us to keep walking. In that short time frame, our hands got so cold that we had to go into the lodge before heading back down the gondola.
In one final move of first-day-of-the-season grace, Savannah fell walking up the stairs from the lodge. We all laughed, and she almost got a shinner. After a relatively non-eventful ride back down the K1 gondola, we had to stop at Darkside (as always) because I broke my edge. Classic.
The night was pretty mellow and we actually all ended up just studying after riding. It was lit.– Joey Leon

IRS to Require Disclosures of Uncertain Tax Positions
For the last three years since the FIN 48 accounting interpretation became effective, corporate tax departments and professionals have been concerned that the increased financial accounting disclosures would lead to more Internal Revenue Service (IRS) scrutiny of the uncertain tax positions and attempts by the IRS to gain access to tax accrual workpapers that contain confidential descriptions and analysis of the positions. The IRS takes the position that it has the right to compel disclosure of confidential tax accrual workpapers under the leading Supreme Court case, but it has chosen as a matter of administrative practice to request the workpapers only in certain limited circumstances in which taxpayers invest in abusive tax shelter transactions. The policy of restraint is described in Announcement 2002-63,3 and the Internal Revenue Manual, and is based on competing objectives: that routine disclosure of accrual workpapers would provide a disincentive for accurate and candid financial reporting analysis, but limited disclosure for tax shelters would provide an incentive not to enter into abusive transactions.
Since the adoption of FIN 48, various IRS officials have publicly stated that the IRS is reconsidering its policy of restraint under Announcement 2002-63 in light of FIN 48, suggesting that transparency should be the principal objective in a voluntary compliance tax system. In the meantime, the IRS has engaged in significant litigation in which taxpayers asserted the work product doctrine and other grounds in an attempt to protect workpapers the IRS sought in tax shelter cases. The concerns about the IRS's intentions came to a head recently when the First Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the IRS and against the taxpayer in United States v. Textron, ruling that the IRS should have access to the company's tax accrual work papers.
It turns out that concerns about the IRS's intentions have been well-founded. The IRS announced in January that taxpayers with assets in excess of $10 million will be required to disclose their uncertain tax positions on a schedule attached to their tax returns. Taxpayers will be required to disclose details of each position (e.g., tax years affected), the rationale for the position, the reason the position is uncertain, and the amount of federal income tax that would be due if the position were disallowed by the IRS on examination. Moreover, taxpayers will be required to disclose certain positions regardless of whether they have established reserves for the positions under FIN 48. This means that taxpayers will have to disclose the positions for which they did not establish a reserve because they intend to litigate the matter or because they believe that the IRS as a matter of administrative practice will not raise the issue. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Douglas Shulman has said that the IRS's goal in requiring the schedule is to reduce the time spent selecting taxpayers and issues for audit.
Under the new disclosure regime, the IRS should have a roadmap to uncertain tax positions identified by the taxpayer and a gauge to evaluate the materiality of each position. The gauge will be crude, and frequently unreliable, because the required disclosure will be the maximum tax assessment possible without any consideration of the merits of the issue. Commissioner Shulman has said that the IRS only expects to require concise information and no information concerning the strengths or weaknesses of the uncertain positions, although the announcement seems to suggest that the IRS may want more detail notwithstanding the Commissioner's comments. The IRS states that it is still abiding by its policy of restraint in Announcement 2002-63, and therefore is not asking for the taxpayer's evaluation of the merits of each issue or the actual amount the taxpayer has reserved for financial accounting purposes for each issue. Nevertheless, the disclosure will require descriptions of matters that are highly confidential, including reasons why each issue is uncertain, the Internal Revenue Code sections that potentially apply, and other detailed information. Attorney-client privilege and work product issues inevitably will arise if the IRS disclosure requests are too broad.

Troubleshooting HVAC Capacitors - As a technician, it is not uncommon to find bad capacitors. Sometimes it is the primary reason for a trouble call from a customer. The capacitor in the air conditioner or heating system is bad. A good technician can usually figure out the problem very fast. Simply by listening to the symptoms. And what the unit is doing in the sequence of operation. The air conditioner sequence of operation, the gas furnace sequence of operation or the heat pump sequence of operation. Typically the order of sequence of operation of any equipment it is possible a motor is not working properly. This leads the technician to the problem.
Troubleshooting HVAC Capacitors - Capacitor Check
Checking to make sure the capacitor is the problem is often easy for a trained technician. Bad capacitors can often be identified by looking at the capacitor. Often when it goes bad it swells up the outer casing. Sometimes the top blows off leaving an oily residue in the control panel. Sometimes this is not the case, and the capacitor needs to be tested. Tested with a special multimeter that has the function and ability to measure microfarads.
Troubleshooting HVAC Capacitors | Electrical Systems | Safety WARNING!!!!
Only a trained HVAC technician or electrician should attempt to troubleshoot a capacitor. There is very high voltage in the cabinet where the capacitor is located. The capacitor also has very high voltage itself. Even with power off and the capacitor disconnected from the equipment and any wires, the capacitor can severely shock you. A capacitor stores electrical power like a battery and will shock you if the proper safety procedures are not followed.
You approach a condenser and you hear a hum. Additionally, the fan is not turning or it's slowly turning. Definitely not turning at the full RPM's as it should. You think something is wrong with the motor. You could be right but most likely it is the fan motor capacitor. That is only the case if it is a PSC fan motor. If it is an ECM condenser fan motor then you very likely have another problem altogether. So you follow all safety procedures and later you have the dual run capacitor in your hand. It looks like a pregnant moose compared to the capacitor you know it should be.
If you are lucky it didn't burst open as some capacitors will do when they go bad. When they burst open they spray oil all inside the cabinet. The oil that is inside the capacitor can smell pretty bad especially coming from a burnt capacitor. At least to those sensitive to bad odors. You will know the capacitor is bad when it is swelled up or it has burst open. If you find a normal looking capacitor then you know you need to test the capacitor. Testing ensures the capacitor is not bad and within range of the rating.
Troubleshooting HVAC Capacitors - Safety and Testing
Before testing a capacitor the capacitor needs to be discharged. Capacitors hold an electrical charge and can shock you even when they are not hooked up to any electrical wiring. The capacitor is discharged using a high resistance resistor (over 10,000 Ohms). This is very important to do as if it is not done the test instrument can be damaged. Once it has been discharged the capacitor can be tested. The instrument measures microfarads which are how capacitors are rated. The test should fall within plus or minus 10% of the rating on the capacitor. When the capacitor is not in the +/- 10% range then it needs to be replaced. Replaced with a new capacitor of the same microfarad rating.
After testing the capacitor you determine it is bad. You go to your truck looking for right microfarad ratings for the capacitor you need to replace. You know you have several new capacitors on the truck. However, you are unsure if you have the correct microfarad ratings for the dual capacitor on your truck. It's good to keep a good stock of capacitors on the truck. It saves time running back and forth to the supply house.
Troubleshooting HVAC Capacitors - The Best Replacement is an Exact Replacement
The basic policy for replacing electrical parts is that the best replacement part is an exact replacement. You want to stay with what you have and that is what the microfarad rating is on the dual capacitor. If you don't have a dual but two singles with the proper microfarad ratings you can use those capacitors.
Just make sure you properly mount the capacitors inside the cabinet. Ensure they do not become a hazard and create a dead short inside the cabinet. Carrying band iron is very useful for that purpose. Use your drill and a couple of small set tapping screws and you are good to go. Also, make sure you do not drill through any components or refrigeration piping/coils when mounting capacitors.
[the_ad id="37291″]
Troubleshooting HVAC Capacitors - Caution Advisory/Example
Warning! When adding self-tapping screws make sure you don't drill into something like a part of the refrigeration circuit. I've seen it happen before so be careful. Using two singles in place of a dual is easy. Let's say the capacitor that is bad is a dual 45/5 microfarad capacitor. You don't have a dual 45/5 microfarad capacitor. However, you do have a single 45 microfarad capacitor and a single 5 microfarad capacitor.
You'll have to jumper the common wire because now you have two capacitors. Whereas before you only had one with one terminal for the common wire. Easy enough for a good HVAC tech to figure that one out. However, I still wanted to be as descriptive as possible for those still learning the trade. It never hurts to go MacGyver to save a little time and be more efficient.
"The two basic types of motor capacitors most commonly used in HVAC applications today. The run capacitor and the start capacitor. Motor capacitors increase the run efficiency of the motor. Capacitors also give the motor an initial boost in torque to a motor upon start-up. HVAC Start Capacitors are referred to as motor starter capacitors or power capacitors."
Troubleshooting HVAC Capacitors - Parallel Capacitors
If you have a capacitor that keeps failing because of heat issues you can parallel two capacitors to solve the problem. Example: You have a 20 microfarad capacitor that keeps failing because of heat issues. The solution is to take (2) ten microfarad capacitors wired in parallel. This creates more surface area inside the two capacitors (versus using only one 20 microfarad capacitor). More surface area dissipates the heat more efficiently. This is also another solution in case you don't have a single capacitor for the rating needed. Simply wire two capacitors in parallel that add up to the rating you do need.
Finally, the last tip to help you with capacitors. If you have a capacitor that has the same microfarad rating but the voltage is different you can use the new capacitor with a different voltage rating only if the voltage rating is higher than the one you are replacing. Again, that is if you are in a pinch. The best replacement for any bad part is an exact replacement.

Design is ubiquitous. Everything around us is designed to be the way it is. Design is thus never a beginning; it is always an extension, refinement and distillation.
Design is representing of intent and is generally connected to terms like creativity and innovation or often seen as a form of an art. Every design is basically about revamping an already existing idea or design. It is about innovating and making it more acceptable to suit the needs that change with time.
There is no design that starts from the very original; it is always a designer who works on design solutions that are already at hand and which had existed as an issue. The process never begins; it is always about recreating an existing design that may look like a problem, issue or a scope of improvement. The online image sharing over social media has evolved out of the need of traditional photo album sharing ways. To sum it up, designing is about molding an old complex concept into a simple and convenient one by improving it.
The design is present in various different forms; as an incomplete design that needs to be completed, as a complex layout that needs to be simplified, a raw solution that needs to be beautified. It is bringing about functional improvement or aesthetical innovation. There is always a relation between a design and its past related dimension. However there are a lot of stages involved in this and there is no final stage that indicates the end. Implying that there is no design that is complete or an ultimate solution, the scope of improvement always exists. Designing thus follows a continuous path; there can be uncountable redesigns of the base design.
Design- A Problem Solving Approach
The need of redesigning emerges from the very fact that there is no ultimate design form. Since there is always a possibility to enhance the design, redesigning is vital from time to time.
Regarding design as redesign makes a lot of sense. The inventions of the tools by mankind are actually more of a discovery or exploration. The objects that were found useful were combined and altered to suit the needs of man. Since then generations have been modifying and improving these tools to go with the changing era. Time is an important parameter affecting the redesigning needs. The concept of design triggers from exploring issues and problems in order to deliver a creative solution to it. A design is similar to a product, just the way a product is always a solution to the customers' problem. A product is an answer to a problem that may be known or unknown to customer, a problem that exists or is created for him, but which at the end, resolves the issue and serves as a way out.
Design is Thus Improvisation
Designing can be seen as an improvisation or progression of an older prevailing structure. Initially the designer builds on such a solution to an issue, and this issue contains a latent design in itself. The car concept can be seen as an improvised version of the mechanical bullock cart. This former design is a solution to man's need to commute which is further worked upon to make it more advanced, more commercial, more acceptable and sustainable. There is a sense of remedy that imbibes in the word design.
Designing can be seen as constructing multiple variations of the older blueprint. A very simple instance can explain this relation between redesign and design. The pigeon post in the ancient ages took form of the telegram design which was further changed to telephones and then cordless phones, to mobile phones and ultimately to smart phones or the internet phones. These are the variations of the basic design of the means of communication. Similarly, redesigning is a process of creatively bringing about step by step changes, taking the design through constant improvements and treating it with new combinations of solutions. The design is basically a process of redesigning on a continuous basis, and it applies to every form of design. Consider a mechanism, process, technology or anything else for that matter, redesigning keeps taking place at regular intervals and this rebuilding cycle is in point of fact endless. It is important for designers to adopt a problem solving attitude in their vision. They must affirm that all their creations are a redesign of someone else's prior ideas. The two perspectives that can be adopted are the Design and the Redesign perspective. Seeing a creation from the design perspective is to focus on the current sole creator of the artwork. Seeing from the redesign perspective is to acknowledge the previous contributors and highlight the collective aspects and ingredients of the design. It does not limit the credit to the individual designer, but values the roles of every designer involved since the beginning. The redesign perspective sees the creator as the co-creator and the re-creator without missing to mention the existence of the other creators.

Following the death of both parents, 46 year-old artist Philip Toledano decided to confront his own future... by ordering a DNA test.
The DNA test results naturally had their implications: despite being slim, he learned he had a high risk of obesity and heart disease, for example. Toledano consulted fortune tellers, psychics and numerologists, divining what possible outcomes might be: perhaps he'll become an alcoholic. He told The New York Times: "When my mother died, it made me realize that you don't have any control over your destiny at all. It's delusional to think you do. I became quite fearful of what sharp turns life had in store for me and what other terrible unforeseen things might happen."
After three years engrossed by potential futures, and hours spent applying prosthetics, a series of Possible Phils were produced. The final vignettes are collected in a new book, so we can confront our own fears: Maybe, will be published by Dewi Lewis in June this year. A short film by Joshua Seftel, The Many Sad Fates of Mr. Toledano, documents the creation of the photographs, and premieres this week at the Tribeca Film Festival.
Toledano challenges his audience in everything he does, whether it is his commercial work or his personal. He began coming to prominence in the public eye with the incredibly moving photo story about coping with the dementia and subsequent passing of this father; the website for Days With My Father remains one of the most moving works I've seen online, and a book was published in 2010.
Sharing the loss of his father, or celebrating the birth of his daughter in his own too-honest way, Toledano is a heart-string-pulling artist who avoids schmaltz and gives his viewers plenty of space to explore their own feelings. In When I was Six, (Dewi Lewis, 2015) he tells the story of his sister's accidental death, using fantastic imagery and family artifacts, reflecting upon and finding a gentle way to share a horrifying moment in his family's history. Toledano is brave enough to confront some of the darker experiences that are inevitable in our lives.

text: Our trip to Omaha last month took us to a cupcake store, because I don' t pass a cupcake store without trying it. I'm not only an expert in decor, but cupcakes as well. These were quite good. The decor was adorable and the chalkboard stripe was fun. So today, I'm inspired to bring chalk boards into your decor. My last house had an entire wall done in black chalk board paint in the office. The only problem with it, for me, was that it didn't clean up to it's original beauty very easily. We ended up painting it again to give a fresh look after a couple of years. Now my mom, a bit of clean freak, will tell you the chalk dust makes this project prohibitive but I live on the edge. And as an extra bonus black is back. The color and the concept work! So enjoy these inspirational pics. Happy Monday!

A new version of 70s disco classic Rasputin by England cricket legend Freddie Flintoff and Kaiser Chiefs frontman Ricky Wilson, which sings the praises of star striker Harry Kane has been released ahead of the national team's first World Cup match tomorrow.
The track, Rasputin Rebooted by The Stars House Band featuring Freddie and Ricky, is a modern re-working of Boney M's 1978 Number 2 hit telling the story of the Tottenham Hotspur's England captain rather than the song's original namesake, Rasputin, the Russian mystic famous for his ability to predict the future.
The track premiered on the Stars £100m Challenge homepage, where fans can view the music video, starring Freddie, Ricky and special guests, including Fay Milton from Savages.
The idea for creating an anthem sprang from a wager between Freddie and BetStars during the filming of a recent advert for the Stars £100 Million Challenge, which offers customers the opportunity to win up to £100 million if they correctly predict all 64 win, lose or draw results of the World Cup.
Freddie said: "When I heard that England had no official anthem, I told the BetStars team that I was gonna get a band together to create a song. Naturally they bet that I couldn't get a star big enough and talented enough to perform the song, but that they'd back the production if I could. That's when I rang Ricky.
"It's a perfect choice for a football anthem this summer. It's Russian, it's got all the noises, and all the dances – the only dodgy thing is I'm in it. There's been some cracking World Cup songs in the past and it would be nice to think that the fans will get behind this one and sing it in the stands over in Russia. If they don't, Ricky and I will just have to fly over there and get it going on the terraces ourselves."
Ricky Wilson rose to fame as leader of the Kaiser Chiefs, who took their name from South African football club Kaizer Chiefs FC, the first club of ex-Leeds United captain Lucas Radebe, and has since added radio DJ and TV presenter to his resume.
He said: "Rasputin has such a great chorus. The test for any song is imagining a group of football fans singing it on the terraces. It worked with Ruby, Ruby, Ruby and now it's working with Ra Ra Rasputin. And it's another R: Riot, Ruby, Rasputin".

The Siena Investor - Winter 2014
What to Do if the Bear has Emerged From Its Hibernation It seems like investors have had plenty to worry about recently, even without considering the last few weeks of stock market volatility. After all, we've seen: Slowing growth in most of the developed world, including the possibility that European economies will enter their third recession since 2007.
- Growth in China's economy decelerating faster than expected.
- ISIS on the march.
- The end of the Federal Reserve's bond buying program, and the accompanying threat of rising interest rates.
- A rising dollar's negative impact on the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturers.
- "Sky high" valuations as the Shiller CAPE 10 rose to over 26 (versus the historical average of 16) and still remains at about 24.
- Nervous investors anxious about the threat posed to the global economy by the Ebola virus.

I'm going to try to trigger Superior Drummer with the SP kit, see if the response is any better. Anyone know if a midi map is available? I didn't see one in the manual. I can't do it by hitting the drums on 'learn' because they aren't near my Mac.
Anyone else try triggering a software kit yet?
Strike Pro triggering Superior Drummer - midi map?
Strike Pro triggering Superior Drummer - midi map?
EMPLOYEE0Bill R. (Employee) April 25, 2017 16:57Hello,
Thanks for posting. The external SD card bundled with the Strike Pro Kit has a "New User Kit" on it with MIDI Output mappings that are specifically mapped to Superior and EZ Drummer.
- view 2 more comments
I tried the user 1 kit but had to build from there. I'm using Superior Drummer and the stock Avatar kit. However, I have several kits and recently purchased the Progressive a foundry expansion, which is great by the way. I'm probably going to have to remap all kits based on what expansion I'm running. Not so much for snare and kick but everything else. And I still hate the hi hat on this kit. Very disappointing to say the least. Between that and the constant ghost triggers on th snare it's almost enough to make we want to sell and get a Roland.
I don't have the ghost trigger on the snare. with a few adjustments you should be able to get rid of that. Im assuming you have done the firmware updates.
I plan on mapping mine to Superior Drummer this weekend. Good to know there's a kit set up
Has anyone figured out how to get the Crash to mute when you grab it? Im trying a demo of EZ Drummer and when i grab the cymbal it just retriggers a sound.
AND has anyone been successful getting the Hihat to work properly in the drum software ?
I can get the Hihats to work but not really a good half open sound.
Anyone had any luck?
Hi, Same problem for me, I tried with the "New user Kit" and I can't mute crashes, the hi hat don't work properly, I'm on SD3 and strike pro kit (1.3).
Somebody have a good preset working to give ?
Just a guess but with the new update (1.3)they have another user kit right at the end of the preset kits maybe with the 1.3 update that new kit is set up for sd3 but thats just just a guess. I havent got sp3 to try it out as im still using ssd4
I have installed 1.3 and the user kit have All kick, toms and a part of cymbals right installed on for SD3 but I still have problems with Cymbals stop and Hi Hat cause a CC4 midi sending from nowhere.
I need help !!!
Bill R. (Employee) December 04, 2017 20:22Please get in touch with our Technical Support team by logging on to www.alesis.com/support. You can find their contact information on that page.
Is there anyway to load samples from superior drummer onto the sd card user library?
Yes but you are limited to 200mb
To mute crashes in superior drummer 3 you need to activate the mute send by grabbing the cymbal, identify the midi note in the midi monitor, and assign that midi note to the mute tail of that specific cymbal using the on screen box and not the separate midi map menu. You also need to remove the mute hit note entirely. Repeat for all cymbals and you're good to go.
One issue is that there is a slight delay when muting a cymbal (I've noticed this straight from the strike pro module as well) but superior drummer reads it as an instant mute when the midi is recorded and played back. I'm not sure why it doesn't do that with normal listening and playing.
This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Connecting Superior Drummer to Strike Pro.
How do I connect the Superior Drummer 3 to the strike Pro? What settings showing use on the kit, and on the Mac Pro?
