Tax Tips
Well, it's that time of year again. Time to lose some weight? Well, yes, that too. But no, it's time to start thinking about taxes. Of course my friends here at Greatland are tops when it comes to helping you sort out your 1099 and W-2 tax needs, so instead of diving deep into that area, what I want to do instead this month is offer some general tips and strategies on business taxes to help you as you get your returns in order.
Most small business people in fact do not have a great handle on taxes, even if taxes are so important to their business. I just read a story in the paper this morning, talking about a large local mattress dealer with 11 stores who was going out of business. Why? They failed to pay sales taxes that they should have been collecting but didn't and owed the state $2 million in back taxes.
So lets start with the basics. Here are four tax rules all small businesses should know:
- Deductions. As you likely know, you can deduct all "ordinary and necessary" business expenses from your revenues to reduce your taxable income. Some deductions such as business travel, equipment, salaries and rent are obvious. Others are not. Don't overlook these potential deductions:
- Trips that combine business and pleasure. If more than half your trip is devoted to business, you can deduct the cost of travel, as well as other business-related expenses.
- Business losses. Depending upon your legal structure, business losses may be able to be deducted against your personal income to reduce your taxes.
- Purchases financed by business loans or credit cards. You can deduct such costs this year even if you won't pay off the loans until next year. You can also deduct the interest on the loans themselves.
- Employee Taxes. If you hire employees, you need to pay, or withhold from their salaries, a variety of taxes, including:
- Unemployment. Federal and state unemployment taxes must be paid.
- Withholding. Social Security (FICA), Medicare and federal and state income taxes must be withheld from employees pay.
- Employer matching. You must match the FICA and Medicare taxes and pay them along with your employees.
- Quarterly Estimated Taxes. This area trips up many an entrepreneur. Failure to keep up with your estimated tax bill can create a slew of IRS penalties. You should pay quarterly estimated taxes if you expect your total tax bill in a given year to exceed $500. How much should you pay? By the end of the year, you must pay either 90 percent of the tax you will owe or 100 percent of last year's tax.
- Sales Taxes. Most service businesses are exempt from sales tax, but most product based businesses are not. If you do sell a product or service that is subject to sales tax, you must register with your state's tax department. Then you must track your taxable and nontaxable sales and include that information on your sales tax return.
In my next blog, I am going to share some tips on procedures that can make your tax life easier, and which can help you avoid an audit.
(For even more business tips and strategies, check out the new podcast on iTunes that I am doing in conjunction with Greatland called Small Business Success with Steve Strauss, Powered by Greatland.)
Tax Procedures and Audits
In my last blog, I discussed basic tax rules that any small business can use. Today let's look at some procedures and ways to keep your taxes in order and hopefully avoid an audit.
Do not comingle money. You need a separate business checking account, and you need to deposit all money from the business into that account. Money can then be transferred to your personal account. This helps maintain an accurate record of business income for tax purposes.
Get a business credit card. Designate one credit card as a business card and use it only for this purpose. The card does not need to be in the business' name, but it is better if it is. Business credit card interest is 100% deductible.
Keep logs: Retain every year your appointment book or calendar. Notations can provide backup information for things like business mileage, telephone expenses, and business trips.
Keep all receipts: Keep every receipt related to your business. Similarly, make sure to keep all cancelled checks. In the event of an audit, you will be asked to provide them.
Keep your independent contractor records up to date: Because you need to issue a 1099 to anyone to whom you paid $600 or more during the year for business services, it is important to keep accurate records all year long. Don't wait to get their address and social security number, both of which must be included on the 1099 form. It is best to get that information when you hire the person.
While all of these procedures can help you avoid an audit, the fact is, small businesses are nevertheless audited regularly. How then do you avoid an audit? First of all, don't over-deduct. Be careful of deducting every possible expense, no matter how tangential.
Moreover, you should try to avoid showing a loss. Now, losses do happen and they must of course be reported. But a business that shows a loss for several years in a row is a business that should be out of business. If it's not, something's fishy.
Finally, be careful about how you use the home office deduction as that is one deduction that is ripe for scrutiny. Before you can deduct expenses for using part of your home in a business, you must meet three stringent requirements:
- You must "regularly use part of your home exclusively for a trade or business." As long as you are using part of your home for business on a continuing, rather than haphazard, basis, you qualify.
- The use must be exclusive. Exclusive means just that — exclusive. Any personal, non-business, use would disqualify you.
- Your home must be the principal place for your business, or you must meet patients, clients or customers there, or you must use a separate structure on your property exclusively for business purposes.
Be prepared to back up anything you do say in your tax return just in case you are audited. And again, keep every receipt. They can go a long way to getting you out of a jam should an audit arise.

Saving on Taxes Part One
All small business owners want to save on their taxes. The question is, how? There are many different strategies you can adopt to help you reduce your tax bite. The important thing is to not wait until December 31 before deciding to take action. Some pre-planning can go a long way to reducing Uncle Sam's take come tax time.
The first and main strategy of course is to set up a tax-free retirement account if you don't have one. Here are your choices:
- KEOGH Plans. A KEOGH retirement plan allows self-employed taxpayers to contribute significant sums (it varies) every year into a tax-free account. KEOGHs are fairly complicated to create and the assistance of a financial advisor is required. There are several benefits to starting a KEOGH retirement plan:
- Contributions are deducted from gross income.
- Taxes are deferred until the money is withdrawn.
- Interest earned is also tax deferred until withdrawn.
- Contribution amounts are more liberal than with IRAs.
- Solo 401(k). This plan is great because of its high contribution limits. Like a KEOGH, a solo 401(k) allows you to contribute up to $49,000 a year into your retirement account ($54,500 if you are 50 or over).
- SEP IRAs. A Simplified Employee Pension Individual Retirement Account (SEP IRA) is a plan that allows you to contribute and deduct up to 20 percent of your income into a tax-deferred retirement account. SEPs are indeed simple: They can be created in a few minutes at a bank or brokerage house with no professional help required and no annual government reports are required. They beat regular IRAs because they allow for larger contributions.
ROTH IRAs: You may be tempted to also set up a traditional ROTH IRA. While that may be good for retirement purposes, it does little for you business-wise as contributions are not tax deductible.
One thing to understand about your retirement plan: If you do set up a SEP, Solo 401(k) or KEOGH, you have to offer it to your employees as well. This means you will likely need to make contributions that don't just cover you. Because of this, you should consult with an employee benefits pro before setting up any sort of retirement plan for you and your employees.
One last bonus for creating a business retirement plan: You can get a tax credit of up to $500 for the first three years of the plan if you have less than 100 employees.
In my next blog we will look at some other ways to save on taxes.
(For even more business tips and strategies, check out the new podcast on iTunes that I am doing in conjunction with Greatland called Small Business Success with Steve Strauss, Powered by Greatland.)
Saving on Taxes Part Two
Here are even more ways to reduce your tax bite:
Lease your property to your business: If your business uses property that you personally own, you can save on business taxes by leasing the property to the business. The lease expense to the business is tax-deductible, and the income you generate personally from the lease income is not subject to Social Security tax. You can then take any applicable depreciation allowance for the leased property.
Use the law: In the past few years there have been a slew of tax changes that can help small business – everything from the Bush tax cuts to the stimulus law and more. This would be a good time then to check with an accountant or other tax professional.
Re-examine your business structure: If you have been in business for a while and are profitable, it may be smart to change your legal form of business. For instance, a growing S corporation may want to become a C corporation so as to take advantage of benefit programs limited to C corporations, such as group-term life insurance and various health-plan options. A newly-profitable sole proprietor may want to form an LLC to get personal liability protection, or form an S corporation to reduce the self-employment tax.
Be aware of deadlines: Make sure that you are paying your estimated taxes on time and in sufficient amounts to avoid penalties and interest down the road. Deadlines of which to be aware:
- Corporations must file their returns within two and a half months after the end of their fiscal year
- Quarterly estimated taxes are due four times a year: April 15, June 15, September 15, and January 15
- Sales taxes. Sales taxes are due quarterly or monthly, depending upon what state you are in
- Employee taxes. Employee taxes may be due weekly, monthly or quarterly, depending upon the number of employees you have
Delay your receivables and accelerate your expenses: At the end of the tax year, if your business expects to have significant income from accounts receivables, consider delaying those receivables until after the first of the year. Doing so will reduce your business' net taxable income for that year.
Similarly, if you anticipate a large tax bit at the end of the year, you might consider accelerating some expenses into the current tax year. Expenses that can be accelerated include corporate charitable contributions, a significant percentage of health insurance premiums for you if you are a self-employed individual, year-end employee bonuses, or any other tax-deductible expenses you are planning on making.
Here is one final tip: The IRS has an excellent site devoted exclusively to small business, with industry specific information, audit guides, links and more. Go to www.irs.gov/businesses/small/.

Edinburgh continued their recent Magners League resurgence with a comfortable 27-15 victory over the Dragons at Murrayfield.
Edinburgh continued their recent Magners League resurgence with a comfortable 27-15 victory over the Dragons at Murrayfield.
The Scottish side have now won three of their past four matches as tries by fly-half Greg Laidlaw, winger Tim Visser and full-back Chris Paterson, eased them past the Welsh opposition.
Paterson converted all three scores and also added two penalties. Newport hit back through wing Aled Brew and stand-in full-back Adam Hughes, but they remain winless in Scotland since 2009.
The first period started brightly with Paterson converting a penalty opportunity but it took until 10 minutes before half-time before the next points were scored.
In-form Brew touched down with fly-half Jason Tovey converting.
After a frustrating opening half-an-hour, the game was beginning to brighten up when Laidlaw duly went over for Edinburgh, the metronomic Paterson adding the extras.
The Scottish full-back then continued the scoring late in the half, converting a penalty opportunity to leave the game finely balanced at 13-7.
A Visser try converted by Paterson early in the second period continued Edinburgh's momentum before the full-back scored a deserved try of his own.
Paterson, of course, added the extras to bring them within touching distance of a much welcome bonus-point. But it was the Dragons who seemed to take control of the match.
Tovey reduced the arrears with a penalty. Then, with 15 remaining, Newport gave themselves a further glimmer of hope through Hughes' try.
However, Tovey crucially missed the conversion and the visitors remained 12 points adrift.
A scuffle broke out which saw locks Esteban Lozada and Andrew Combs sin-binned for each side, but neither team could take advantage in the latter stages.
The scorers:
For Edinburgh:
Tries: Laidlaw, Paterson, Visser
Cons: Paterson 3
Pens: Paterson 2
For Dragons:
Tries: Brew, Hughes
Cons: Tovey
Pens: Tovey
Edinburgh: 15 Chris Paterson, 14 Simon Webster, 13 Jim Thompson, 12 Nick De Luca, 11 Tim Visser, 10 Greig Laidlaw, 9 Mike Blair, 8 David Denton, 7 Ross Rennie, 6 Stuart McInally, 5 Esteban Lozada, 4 Scott MacLeod, 3 Geoff Cross, 2 Andrew Kelly (c), 1 Kyle Traynor.
Replacements: 16 Alun Walker, 17 Robin Hislop, 18 Lewis Niven, 19 Steven Turnbull, 20 Scott Newlands, 21 David Blair, 22 Lee Jones, 23 Tom Brown.
Dragons: 15 Adam Hughes, 14 Matthew Pewtner, 13 Tom Riley, 12 Ashley Smith (C), 11 Aled Brew, 10 Jason Tovey, 9 Jon Evans,8 Joe Bearman, 7 Gavin Thomas, 6 Dan Lydiate, 5 Adam Jones, 4 Andrew Coombs, 3 Dan Way, 2 Steve Jones, 1 Hugh Gustafson.
Replacements: 16 Lloyd Burns, 17 Phil Price, 18 Ben Castle, 19 Lewis Evans, 20 Toby Faletau, 21 Matthew Watkins, 22 Wayne Evans, 23 Matthew Jones.

For Photographers
The year is coming to an end. I still have four weddings left to shoot and two workshops, one in Melbourne next week and one in Sydney the week after. I'm shooting weddings in both those cities before I head to New Zealand and then finish up in California December 29. I haven't counted how many weddings I've shot, but I've had another amazing year. When I'm finished properly I will sit down and look at all the weddings I've shot and put a post together, mainly for myself to remember them all.
I put on some good music, lean back and go through them and it all comes back to me.
But we're not there yet, and that's not why I'm writing now.
2013 is not here yet, but I already know what I'm doing with my next six months. It's both the beauty and the curse of doing what I do. My life is mapped out, at least ticket-wise. Of course nothing will turn out exactly the way I foresee it, but hey…
I'm talking a lot more next year.
This year I did workshops in Australia, NYC and Cape Town, next year I'm doing more of them and also speaking at a bunch of conferences and conventions and I thought I'd run through them quickly.
I kick off the year with guest speaking – at my own house – at this little beauty of a workshop January 8-9. I don't need to tell you how talented I think the Parsons are, do I?
After shooting on Taprobane Island in Sri Lanka late January, I head straight to the Dominican Republic to speak at the What If Conference there February 4-7. I meant to attend last year's conference myself, so being asked to speak there is an honour.
Ten days after that I head to Europe and this is when the real mayhem starts.
My goal is to do two workshops in London somewhere between the 17-22 February. I'm working on that content as we speak. After that I head to Malaga to speak at BodaF 25-28 February. After Spain I fly straight to Las Vegas where I'll be co-hosting the next season of The Film Show, something I'm ridiculously excited about. And since I'm already in Vegas, why not attend WPPI while I'm there? (No, I'm not speaking)
After that I get to go home.
For a little bit.
In April, I'm speaking at the Canada Photo Convention in Vancouver (April 23-24). I'm also thinking about doing a workshop or two in North America at that time.
In June, I head over to Europe again and my plan is to do a few more workshops there in the summer months. I haven't decided on cities yet, so if you're interested, hit me up.
Well, that's my start to 2013. I'm also shooting a few weddings around the place, so I'll be pretty busy.
If I'm in your part of the world, maybe I'll see you around?
I'm already excited about the year to come.

Skip to comments.Fish or Foul on the Klamath River
Posted on 05/15/2012 8:41:46 AM PDT by Baynative
The Department of Interior plans to destroy four dams on the Klamath River in Northern California so salmon can swim further than 180 miles up the river. But these dams provide water and flood protection to thousands of humans who also live along the river. Clean energy from these hydro dams supply electricity to 70,000 residents in the area. Despite a lack of scientific evidence that dam removal will help the fish, or any study on the human impact of dam removal, the DOI is pressing forward to have the dams destroyed. When their own scientist, Dr. Paul Houser, questions the science - he gets fired.
(Excerpt) Read more at youtube.com ...
People who think this is only about one river, or someone else's problem in a place far away could not be further from the truth.
Please, people. Take the time to stop, look and listen to what liberals are doing to our country and our freedom!
All a part of the plan to take us back to 1887..................
This is a story that is playing out all over the nation. At 4:12 in the video, rancher Rex Cozzalio explains that the basis of the study was a master's thesis done for an anti dam environmentalist instructor. We have dealt with this same strategy in the Pacific Northwest.
Later in the video, County Supervisor Grace Bennett states unequivocally that this is the the playing out of U.N. Agenda 21.
Please make friends and associates aware of what is going on here and ask them to take an interest in what we are facing at the hands of international activists using the environment to seek social justice.
Where's the logic here?
The dams are only a tool. The purpose here is to take control of land, water and people and move everyone into urban enclaves where the government can regulate all aspects of living, education and travel.
Wouldn't it be cheaper and more effective to build salmon ladders for the fish? I remember reading about these things back when I was in grade school.
It's not about being pro-wildlife, It's about being anti-human.
Much worse than that, I'm afraid.
Check out the links. I am frankly amazed by them. The core disagreement appears to be whether the salmon should have ladders or be trucked around the dams (no, really, I'm not crazy enough to make that up).
And it really is about returning the Klamath to pre-civilization condition regardless of the effects. Humans will just have to move or die.
Just added reason #1,354 to my list of why I moved out of there.
Our Great Lakes Czar (Cameron Davis) is the head of the alliance for the great lakes. Dam removal is their primary goal along with "buffer zones" around all surface water.
In designated U.N Bisoshere reserves the NGOs are pushing for complete control plus buffer zones of up to ten miles where they can direct, limit, or prohibit use or access. ,p>This is much bigger than most people want to admit or care to recognize.
From this thread:
Agenda 21 Treaty on the Horizon
Here is a paper on Integrated Water Resources Management which is taken right out of Agenda 21:
It was used as the basis for the European Framework.
The Army Corps is involved in implementing it:
and the State of CA is rapidly implementing it as we speak:
They will spend Billions to study a friggin snail drter, but not one penny to study what might happen to humans.
Because they don't give a F.
People moving away and giving up the fight is helping the international activists gain strength.
In Michigan, you're never more than a mile from a body of water of some type. A 10 mile buffer zone should effectively evacuate pretty much everybody.
Or is it just offensive to the green-nazis that the fish have to swim up a man-made cataract instead of a "natural" one?
Dams withing spawning proximity to the coast have been constructed with fish ladders for a long time. Not the ones over 175 miles inland.
I fought for almost 20 years. And lost most of the battles. We won a few that judges then rectally invaded. Forget it. Can't shame me with 'shoulda stuck it out'. You should move out too. If the 'internationalists' win there, it'll be just part of them owning the world, so in the end, the difference will be that I am now enjoying my life, so that's a net plus.
Check out www.ispyradio.com and you will see programs on this topic, including an interview with Dr. Houser....also...remember...shortly after Houser's resignation, the Interior Secretary DELAYED the decision on the dams.....there still is hope!!! The fight is continuing...
the beat goes on...Klamath pings please
How can you expect the people to wake up when congresscritters are all fast asleep?
Weren't these elected to stand guard over our Constitution?
Liberals would already have a lawsuit at the courthouse - what is wrong with framers and conservatives?
I'm with ya but you & I could not round up 50 people who are willing to put forth some energy & fight back at any one item.
The Greens are useful Idiots, if you think saving fish is their goal, you are underestimating the enemy.
Coming soon......LOST.
New World Order brought to you by the compassionate conservative dynasty of daBushes
Uh, maybe the conservatives are not really conservatives?
They have no idea how many millions of Cu/Yds of silt are behind these dams nor what it wil do to Kurok, Yurok and Hoopa or the ocean fisheries.
No, what they're seeking is world control. Hitler's come back with a "green" face. They're totalitarians, and deserve to be treated as such.
Greetings CC:
My memory of the target Great Lakes watershed map extends west to Lake Champlain region on the Ontario westerly border.
BTW, the Chicago region not being within the watershed map is courtesy of two diversion canals with a series of seven dams with navagation locks. Battle lines are being drawn concerning the closure of Illinois Waterway System navagation locks. Proposed means to prevent an invasive species, Asian Carp, from entering the Great Lakes.
Ah, the unintended consequences of doing too good of a job during clean up of Chicago's toilet flushes.
I think digger answered this to an extent in #31. Conservatives are not as quick to act until they feel directly threatened while liberals are obsessed with controlling everything and everyone. They never rest and it seems that they have an much larger resource well when it comes to finding money for their causes.
Unfortunate but true. Conservatives tie themselves to one issue at a time while liberals continue picking away at the whole foundation.
Conservatives are wrapped up with Keystone, ANWR, and offshore drilling but I don't see anyone other than myself talking about the great lakes directional drilling ban. Michigan sits atop one of the largest natural gas deposits in the nation but few people seem to notice it. Meanwhile we fight many separate battles in every township in the state for each well drilled. A single township doesn't stand much chance against global green groups like "The Waterkeepers" who are heavily funded by the Kennedy family and others.
We are dealing with that where I live. We have a small sural population trying to hold on to our freedom against well funded NGOs and a department of ecology run by environmental activists. It is hard to fight them and even harder to bring people in to understand the issues and join the effort.
Those dams where bought and payed for by the people in the valley. Then the government refused to sign them over and have been trying to run everyone out since then.
Land Trusts are the worst of the worst. They border illegality on most of their deals and are often taking advantage of elderly folks who have been on their lad for decades.
The land trust controlled a little quarter acre woodlot down the street from me till the owner said screw it and allowed the state to take it for back taxes. Then when the land trust was asked if they would take ownership and pay the taxes they dropped it like a hot rock.
They wanted to control it, not be responsible for it.
they get money from the federal government - because of the law suits. What's wrong with conservatives - this fact has been know for years, nobody stops it and conservatives don't try to get the money so the tables are turned on washington and the envirowackos.
If you want to be on or off the Agenda 21 ping list, please notify me by Freepmail. It is a relatively low volume list in which we have been exploring the UN Agenda21 and related topics. We have collected our studies with threads, links, and discussions on the Agenda 21 thread which can be found here:
From: Norman Davis
It is with very deep regret that I am informing everyone that Henry Lamb passed away today.
There aren't proper words to describe Henry and what his passing will mean to us all. It was because of Henry that we learned about the encroachments on our property rights, the Biodiversity Treaty and Agenda 21.
Irene Lamb will let me know what arrangements are made at a later time. Henry wanted to be cremated and his wishes will be carried out. We may have a memorial at a later date.
I personally want to say that I have lost a great friend and comrade.
You may view the works of Henry at www.freedom.org and www.freedom21.org..
Please pass this on so that everyone in the Liberty Community will learn of this terrible loss and I am sorry if I missed sending it to anyone.
Norman Davis
"Sorry to hear this news" doesn't express our feelings adequately.
Henry Lamb was a tireless patriot who raised the alarm despite tremendous opposition.
May we do no less.

Catherine Eagleton, curator, British Museum
It's now a couple of months since the last blog post – so much has been going on that we haven't had time to write anything about it all. Sometimes, when I talk to friends outside the museum sector, they are surprised at how long major exhibition or gallery projects seem to take, but when you're working on one of these projects, you see the number and range of things that there are to do.
At the moment, there is hoarding up in what will become The Citi Money Gallery, and behind there, the cases have all been emptied, and the walls and ceiling have been repainted. Next, there's work to do on cabling and other basic infrastructure, before we start to install the new displays. Before the scaffolding came down, I made sure I went up to the top, touched the ceiling, and took this picture.
At the same time, the final work is being done on the design of the gallery, including the layout of objects in the cases, and the text that will go with them. With so many specialist curators involved, each piece of text has to be edited, and checked, and re-checked, to make sure we have every detail right. Then, the text and images all go to our graphic designer to create the panels and labels for the new displays. As I write, we are expecting the first proofs of the panels to arrive, which means that it starts to feel like the new gallery is nearly ready to be installed.
The objects aren't being neglected either, and the team of Museum Assistants in the Department of Coins and Medals are busy checking all the object lists, and getting all the objects ready for display. This preparation involves every object being individually checked by one of the Museum's conservation team to make sure it's in good enough condition to go on permanent display, as well as so they can advise on how objects are mounted. With more than 1000 to check, this is a big job.
It's amazing sometimes what a gallery curator gets involved with – from paint colour choices to deep discussions about how to ensure consistency in our use of ancient place names, and from climbing scaffolding to talking about whether a plastic object would deteriorate if it was on display for five years. I'll be talking more about this to the next generation of museum curators at a Museum Studies day in March, which I'm very excited about.
The Money Gallery project is supported by Citi and opens in June 2012.

"Very comfortable, haven't had the chance to test them in the rain yet. Ordered a size larger so I could put cozy socks inside them, then I can wear them for a longer season, glad I did cause they are not much larger."

Different but nice
"I need a good pair of waterproof boots after having sat through the drenching rain at the last football game. Feet were soaked and freezing! These neoprene boots are very comfortable. I ordered an 8 but could use them a bit bigger. Would not be able to wear even a medium weight sock.( I normally wear an 8 and didn't think I would need to size up.) Even though they were a bit small, the foot pad is extremely comfortable. The liner throughout the boot is soft and smooth. The boot is very flexible. But, I will need to return them, as I have narrow calves and these are just too floppy on my legs. If they were narrower in the calves, I would return only to get the next size up. Too bad."

Backstabber Lipless Crankbait
The Backstabber Lipless Crankbait features a unique design - with a hook extending out of the back of the bait, as opposed to the belly. The hook being on the top of the lure greatly reduces the likelihood of snags and hang-ups, and also hooks fish on the top lip - increasing your odds of landing bigger fish. Additionally, both of the hooks rotate 360-degrees, so fish can't use the lure as leverage and bust free. Backstabber Lures adjusted the weighting of each bait as well to accommodate the top hook placement, and ensure the Backstabber Lipless Crankbait runs as true as any of your conventional lipless cranks.

Customer Reviews
Comments: I have never had much of a problem landing fish with lipless baits. I actually have big fish swallow them so bad that the hooks get buried in the gills. I am mainly attracted to this bait because the hook is on the top, which means it will hook them in the top of the mouth rather than the gills. Just ordered mine so I can't wait to test this theory.

Comments: Reel it slow, dead stick it, pitch it, stroke it, so on and so forth. For best results fish bait without bottom split ring and hook. Great for kids and adults alike. Fish with confidence and catch some fish with this bait year round.
From: William: Thomaston, GA 10/21/14
Comments: I picked up a lipless and shallow square bill to fish the shallows and deal with the weedy bottoms. The lure quality is great and I love the embedded swivels. The lipless looks amazing in the water but I had a really tough time avoiding hang ups on the split ring. Hope to play with it some more in the future.
From: Kyle: Austin, TX 5/12/14
Comments: how many bass have you lost on lip less crankbaits? if your like me the answer is TOO many. well, this lure is the cure for 90% of the hook-ups. i thought it would hang-up in a swimming pool with the hook on the top of the bait. WRONG! this jewel does not hang-up any more than any other lipless bait i ever threw, maybe less. the lost fish rep was the biggest complaint from bass fishermen everywhere. putting the hook on top was the last thing that came to mind to improve on the landing ratio for these baits. well the person/persons that did it are to be given cudos from the entire population of bassmen and women on the planet. this bait is a winner! well done and thank you for your genius in lure design, whoever you are. no cure is 100% but this one is reel close---
From: Wes: Salinas, CA
Comments: The lipless Backstabber is a great Florida bait. It rips through the grass unlike any other rattle-trap I have ever fished. Try using it where other similar crankbaits get hung up in the grass and you'll see what makes it special.
From: Travis: Gainesville, FL

Hello blogosphere! This is the first entry in Listening In, the blog of Parsons Music Library. Enjoy and leave comments, please!
We're kicking off the blog with a post that is always timely, but even more so now that we have the 2012 Presidential Election within a few weeks.
You are all no doubt quite familiar with the importance of our national anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner." Any large public ceremony, professional athletic event, or public gathering makes sure to start with a performance, usually sung by a vocalist. With an octave and a half range, though, this song is notoriously difficult to sing, and critics of the music often complain that it is down right unsingable!
So why did Francis Scott Key set his beautiful poem about witnessing the battle of Fort McHenry during the War of 1812 to this song? Actually, he knew of the melody for a good ten years before he wrote the lyrics. The song was composed originally by Englishman John Stafford Smith as a popular song called "The Anacreontic Song" in honor of Greek poet Anacreon. Key liked the melody, and so it turned into "The Star-Spangled Banner." (Yes, that is just about the shortest history one could write about the origins!)
But what about other countries around the world? Most anthems are musical symbols, just like a crest or flag, of the history and people of their country. The article on national anthems in Grove Music Online says the following about the variety of text subjects in anthems:
"The texts of national anthems are rarely of literary merit. Patriotic fervour is usually the keynote, although the forms and images used to express it vary a good deal and can reveal much about the character of a nation at the time the words were written. The text of an anthem may often have to be revised or modified in the light of political changes within the country or in its relations with its neighbours. Some countries, particularly those that have enjoyed long periods of peace and political stability, choose anthems that dwell on the natural beauty of the land. Several anthems are built around a national hero, such as Denmark's King Christian and Haiti's Jean-Jacques Dessalines, or around a nation's flag, like those of Honduras and the USA. Many are in effect prayers, like God Save the King/Queen, or calls to arms, like France's La Marseillaise. The struggle for independence (or the pride in achieving it) is a favourite theme among those countries that have emerged since 1945."
Interestingly, Grove Music Online also divides the style of music that helps classify an anthem. They use the following distinctions:
1) Hymn: Eurocentric in design with stateliness, smooth melodic development, and typically quite old in origin.
2) March: Like "La Marseillaise" of France or "Marcha Real" of Spain.
3) Operatic anthem: Central and South America typically, many of which were written by Italians, and quite impractical to sing.
4) Folk anthem: Might require indigenous instruments and/or formal gestures, and typically have no influence from European colonization. Myanmar, Japan, Tibet, and Sri Lanka are a few examples.
5) Fanfare: with no text normally, these are more simply a music theme. Since many Middle Eastern countries only allow a sung performance if the audience is the same gender as the performer, their anthems often fall into this category. Examples include Qatar, Kuwait, and Bahrain.
One final interesting note from Grove:
" In January 1972 an arrangement by Herbert von Karajan of the main theme from the finale of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony was adopted (against the wishes of many musicians) as a European anthem by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe (it was later chosen also as the national anthem of Rhodesia)."
For further reading, here is the link to the Grove article, with descriptions of many anthems, along with short musical notation of their melodies.If you'd like to listen to some collections of national anthems, here are links to audio recordings of national anthems across the world that we own:

Grass Valley CoLiving residents have a place to live while dealing with problems
July 24, 2013
Tucked in a Grass Valley neighborhood typical of the Gold Rush-era town is a house, seemingly no different than any other on the block, which serves as a refuge from the past for the six women who live there.
They are of different ages, races and backgrounds, but all contribute in various ways and democratically manage their home, including its finances.
"I was nervous at first because I didn't know these people," said Mary, a 21-year-old recovering victim of human trafficking and prostitution, whose real name is being withheld at her request.
"I've lived in many living situations," said Mary, who has resided in the home twice since the program's inception a year ago. "I've never felt more welcome."
CoLiving Network is a fledgling nonprofit that facilitates mutually beneficial household learning communities for residents struggling with addiction, homelessness, abuse and mental illness. Most members have a past trauma, said Barbara Franklin, the unpaid program manager.
Often, those pasts would otherwise prohibit the women from obtaining housing because of credit issues, debts, legal or other factors, Franklin said.
But with CoLiving, they gain the skills for sustainable and stable living, said Greg Zaller, who organizes the nonprofit.
"This concept is a little out of the box," Zaller said. "We can take anybody in and give them a chance and are able to give them the support to generate the income."
Zaller owns CoLiving's first home, where the six women live, and arranged to rent the second home by paying the deposit and first month's rent. The tenants of the new mixed-gender residence, who are just settling in, will pay Zaller back for his up-front investment just as the tenants of the women's home pay him rent every month.
"It's a little bit too good to be true," said Ed, 29, who was recently homeless and just moved into the mixed-gender residence. "But after a while, it settles in. This is a great opportunity for those that want to help themselves."
There are a few strict rules, such as no drugs or alcohol. And, of course, bills must be paid.
"If you want to keep that spot, there are rules and regulations," Mary said. "If someone wants to be here, they will do the work."
Beyond that, residents democratically agree on the other rules and choose new residents when rooms become available. They also decide when someone isn't carrying her weight.
"There is no one shielding them from consequences," Zaller said.
"It's a hand up, not a handout."
Such responsibility and accountability empowers residents to lead an independent lifestyle in a safe atmosphere, Zaller said.
At the women's home, the residents recently decided to impose an overnight fee for guests to dissuade a "revolving door" and help cover the increased cost of utilities, Mary said, noting that grandchildren are exempted.
Each resident also functions in a key role. There is a treasurer, a secretary, comptroller, maintenance person, neighbor relations person and a facilitator, Franklin and Zaller said.
"We're giving them the ability to help each other," Zaller said.
When one person fails, they all feel the pain, Franklin said. Zaller describes the residential roles as memberships rather than as tenants or clients.
"It naturally gravitates toward a family once trust is established," Franklin said.
The stable environment has allowed Mary to get a job at a retail store. She is studying to become a social worker at Sierra College.
"I actually want to work," Mary said.
"The more I put myself out there, I become this better person … My life, my story is an example of people giving to me, and I want to do the same to others."
At the new mixed-gender residence not far from the Stagecoach Motel, several men who have already moved in wasted no time tidying up their new yard, discovering a cement slab for a back patio where once overgrown blackberry vines and sticks tangled together.
"It feels good to have an opportunity to put something into your home," Ed said.
And that's part of the incentive that Zaller hopes will entice other landlords to consider the model. Not only does it provide for continuous occupancy, he said, but site improvements seem to be intrinsic.
"We're hoping to use these houses as models so that other landlords can examine how it works," said Franklin.
Zaller and Franklin aren't just looking for landlords; they also welcome volunteers to help mentor; landscape; coordinate public relations; or contribute in other ways, such as financially.
Franklin's guidance is currently unfunded, Zaller said, and as her workload increases, her stewardship needs to be compensated for.
"I help them learn the ropes on house roles," she said.
"Some of it is basic life skills, depending on their background."
Franklin also does credit checks for residents, facilitates assessments and helps with sobriety efforts, mental health and therapy.
"This place is great," said Jane, another guest at the women's house.
"It gives safety and security. It can give you another start."
If you are interested in knowing more, come to the open houses at 116 Berryman St. and 10924 Gold Hill Drive from 2-4 p.m. Saturday, July 27, or go to http://www.colivingnetwork.org. Phone 530-615-1014 to offer assistance.

Woosehill Community Centre, next to Morrisons
supermarket (as recent years),
in Wokingham (NOT IN BRACKNELL), RG41 3DA.
CC=Community Centre CP=Car Park M=Morrisons CO=Council Offices MP=Market Place SCH=School WS=Wokingham Station
This will be a three round McMahon tournament with even games wherever possible.
There will be prizes for everyone with 2½ or 3 wins; other prizes will be at the organiser's discretion. Time limits will be 60 minutes each + overtime of 30 stones in 5 minutes.
There will be a team prize; also local teams will compete for the Broken Go Stone Trophy.
|by 10:00
|Round 1
|Round 2
|Round 3
|Prize giving
For those who finish any of their main tournament games early, there will be a secondary, 13x13 handicap tournament with a prize. There will also be the usual quiz and puzzles.
In general we would recommend bringing a packed lunch or you can purchase things from the Morrisons supermarket next door. There is a pub about 10 minutes walk away, but it does not serve meals at Sunday lunchtime.
At junction 10 on the M4 take the A329(M) towards Reading. Take the first exit and follow signs to Winnersh (not Winnersh Triangle). Turn right at the first roundabout with lights and left at the second with lights. At the third, larger, complex roundabout, again with traffic lights, turn left following the signs for Wokingham and Winnersh A329. Keep straight on on this road for some time (straight on at all the traffic lights). After about 2.5 miles turn right at a large roundabout signposted to Woosehill and Supermarket. The Community Centre is first left, but the car park at its rear is very small, so it is best to take the second on the left into the Morrisons supermarket, and park in the car park away from the shop entrance. After parking, walk back to the left past Morrisons and down the steps to get to Woosehill Community Centre.
From Bracknell take the A329 towards Wokingham and Reading. When the dual-carriageway is about to turn into the A329(M) Motorway turn off following the signs to Wokingham A329. Turn left at the junction roundabout and travel into Wokingham. After about 1 mile the road bends left and you enter the one-way system in Wokingham town centre. Move to the right hand lane and follow the signs for Reading A329. After emerging from the short one-way system keep straight on following signs for Reading and Winnersh A329. About 1 mile out of Wokingham town centre turn left at a large roundabout signposted to Woosehill and Supermarket. The Community Centre is first left, but the car park at its rear is very small, so it is best to take the second on the left into the Morrisons supermarket, and park in the car park away from the shop entrance. After parking, walk back to the left past Morrisons and down the steps to get to Woosehill Community Centre.
Travel to Wokingham railway station. This is on the lines between London Waterloo and Reading, and Guildford and Reading. We expect to be running a ferry service from there, meeting those trains arriving between 09:00 and 09:50. If you inform us in advance then we may be able to meet trains until 10:10. If you fail to get a lift you can take a taxi. (Ask for Woosehill Community Centre or Morrisons in Woosehill - approximate cost £5.00) Alternatively you could walk. After exiting the station by the main entrance, turn right over the level crossing or foot bridge and immediately right into Oxford Road (or exit the Oxford Road side). Follow Oxford Road westwards until you get to the main road at a T-junction. Turn left into the service road. Turn left when you reach the steps by the large roundabout and follow the footpath through the trees. When out on the road again, take the first turning on the left (Emmview Close) to get to the Woosehill Community Centre.
Standard fee: £10.00 (subtract £2.00 if BGA member at your first tournament)
Concessionary fee: £5.00 (Concessions can be claimed by under 16s and those with very low income)
Entries received on the day will be surcharged £2.00
Add £3.00 if you are British and not a member of the BGA and not at your first tournament.
Add £2.00 if you are a British concession and not a member of the BGA and not at your first tournament.
Please Note: Of course smoking, durians and bouncy castles are not allowed inside the Community Centre.
More information: For queries please contact Ian Marsh (phone 01344 422296) or email bracknell at kisekigo.com .
Emergency phone for day of tournament only is 0793 6073945.

Skip to comments.Catholic Campaign for Human Development Has Given ACORN $7 Million
Posted on 11/21/2008 8:44:13 AM PST by STARWISE
Do you wonder why 2008 election data shows that the majority of Catholics voted for Barack Obama even though his record as Illinois state senator proves him the most pro-abortion candidate who ever ran for president?
Perhaps one answer is that on the Sunday before Thanksgiving, millions of Catholics will again be putting in their church's collection plate their annual donation to what the pre-printed envelope calls "Campaign for Human Development: The Catholic Church working to end poverty and injustice in America; We'll turn your dollars into hope for the poor of our nation."
The generous Catholics who respond to that well-phrased appeal probably think they are making a Good Samaritan gift to provide necessaries to the down-and-out. Most would probably be shocked to learn that the money donated to the Campaign for Human Development (CHD) does not go for charity but for radical Obama-style community organizing.
Over the last 10 years, CHD has given $7.3 million of Catholic-donated dollars to the Saul Alinsky-style group called ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now).
When in 1998 some Catholics complained that CHD grants were not used for Catholic charity but were actually funding groups opposed to church teachings, CHD changed its name to Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD).
(Excerpt) Read more at humanevents.com ...
"Obama learned his lesson well. I am proud to see that my father's model for organizing is being applied successfully beyond local community organizing to affect the Democratic campaign in 2008. It is a fine tribute to Saul Alinsky as we approach his 100th birthday."
Saul Alinsky explained his community organizing tactics in his book "Rules for Radicals." His game plan was to divide the community into the Haves and the Have Nots, make the Have Nots believe they are unjustly treated by the Haves, build resentment against the American social and economic system, use church congregations to mobilize street agitators, and lobby government for higher taxes and big-spending welfare programs in order to confiscate the wealth and power of the Haves and turn it over to the Have Nots.
Alinsky dedicated his book to Lucifer, "the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom."
~ ~ ~
I have never given a dime to the Campaign for Human Development, after I read a list of their charities the first year they went into business. And I also never give a dime to Catholic Charities, since some of their money goes to good causes and some is diverted to very questionable ones.
Support your parish—the building needs to be heated and maintained. Support your bishop, even though some of the funds may go astray—but we still need to keep the diocese going. But when it comes to charities, donate to the outfits that are really working for good, not the Communist ones.
Giving to Catholic Charities is like giving to the RNC. Some of the money may do some good, but others will go to help RINOs defeat conservatives. Target your donations to REAL Catholic charities and causes, like Priests for Life or the Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist (look them up).
Until I get conclusive information from either my church or the archdiocese, I won't contribute. It's strangely difficult for me to get that info in 4 tries, especially in light of this:
Catholic bishops cut all funding to ACORN
Catholic church, pro-abortion and pro-ACORN.
before flaming me the CC has for 35 years done NOTHING to pols who support abortion.
Young Alinsky lives in Medfield,MA...a *very* swanky suburb of Boston.One of the richest in state,in fact.Lots of horses in that town...if ya catch my drift.His house is assessed by the town at about $500K which means that it could bring $750K at least.Above is a picture of the house from the Town of Medifield's official website.
I guess that being the son of a Maoist agitator is a pretty profitable deal these days.
Medfield is a very nice town. Property taxes must be pretty high.
CCHD Catholic Campaign for Human Development PING
All these religious groups, Catholic and mainstream Protestant, contriibute to all kinds of organizations which are workinig to undermine western civilization.
Lots of the money goes to political activists like ACORN, and others to anti-war, pacifist, and anti-gun groups.
Unless the Christian rank and file wake up, take a stand, stop being sheep, and demnad that their clergy and churches stop this slipping an sliding towards third worldism, our desecedants will be growing up as Muslims.
Agreed. Catholic, Protestant or Evanagelical money going to groups like ACORN, La Raza, LULAC and others are used to help Islam. This ACORN money will be used to harm Christians and kill babies thorugh unrestricted abortions.
Raymond Arroyo on World Over Last Friday on EWTN that the Bishop in charge of the CAMPAING FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT said that no monies were given to ACORN.
When Arroyo questioned the Bishop, the bishop agreed that while the monies in fact are fungible and could be used for the ACORN project.
The best thing that anybody can do is to not donate to the CAMPAIN FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT this Sunday, November 23, 2008.
Since money is fungible, there is a good possibility that the Diocese will assess the parish for the monies that are not collected from their regular collections. There is a precedent for this action in the diocese of Atlanta. When Archbishop Wilton Gregory does not collect enough money for his ANNUAL BISHOPS APPEAL. The Parish is assesed for the monies that are not donated to the Diocese from their regular collections which represents 70% of the weekly collections. Archbishop Wilton Gregory gets 30% of our weekly support to the Parish.
Remember these Bishops and Cardinals with the exception of a few Bishops like Martino nare politicians and they want to advance their careets and be included in the social Cirles like Obama, Ted Kennedy, Bob Casey Jr, and the other Pro Abortion Politicians.
People should never give to feeder charities, the ones that do nothing but redistribute the money to other charities (United Way being the mother load of all beasts). Everyone's parish should have a food pantry and each Diocese should have a local chapter of St. Vincent de Paul Society for clothing. The only thing Catholic Charities is good for is rental and utility assistance.
"Alinsky dedicated his book to Lucifer, "the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom."
Only temporarily, though.
I contribute to my parish, to the FSSP, and occasionaly to EWTN. I don't trust anything else.
Agreed. I also stopped giving to United Way many years ago, to the annoyance of my employer. They take their cut before they pass the money on to real charities, and some of the charities they support are very dubious.
Looks like $750K doesn't buy much these days.
The Church is wondering why 52% of Catholics voted for live birth abortions when the Church is paying for them???
But Saul Alinsky forgot that in the end, THE REAL MESSIAH DEFEATS the enemy.
I wish it were lies.
For over 30 the Catholic Church has stood by and said NOTHING when Catholic pro-abortion pols have chanted their chant of death to the unborn. And the Catholic Church did nothing, it has only been recently that they arestarting to take a stand.
We'll know the church means business when someone like Teddy Kenndy is thrown OUT.
Until then they are supporting abortion, which about 50 percent of Cathloics do, BTW.
and concerning ACORN, well ACORN supports abortion and the church gave them money for years.
The church has been giving the devil his dues to go forth and murder the unborn.
The Catholic Church is not pro-abortion. Any claim to the contrary is a lie.
I assume you are extrapolating from the vote for Obama, in which self-identified Catholics of all races voted in aggregate exactly like the overall U.S. vote of all races (54% Obama, 46% McCain), and white Catholics who go to Mass weekly voted exactly like white Evangelicals: 26% Obama, 74% McCain, according to a Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life analysis.
Likewise the Catholic Church is not "paying for partial birth abortions." The CCHD -- scandalously --- paid $7+ million over the last 10 years to ACORN, but ACORN doesn't do partial-birth abortions, or abortions of any kind. They do Alinsky-style organizing, which is aggravating enough, and they did what they could to gin up voters -- drunk and sober, living and dead --- for Obama, but Planned Parenthood they are not.
So your hyperbole is overheated, ill-targeted, and offensive. Why do you say such things?
>>Why do you say such things?<<
You don't really have to ask, do you?
Anyone noticing you really can't tell the difference between politics and religion anymore? They just say what they want and do what they want. They both will use fear to push you in the direction they want for purely selfish and self serving motives. Amazing how similiar bedfellows will become!!
Other than excommunicating, denying communion and publicly denouncing stupid statements by Pelosi and the likes, what do you want the Church to do?
A Catholic pol who is pro-abort excommunicates himself automatically (Canon law 751, 1364).
I read somewhere recently that Catholic Charities isn't giving any more money to Acorn. A bit late, but welcome all the same.
Shameful statement.
The Catholic Church is completely pro-life .. ALL life.
The fleeting ideology and practices of man, unacceptably, may not be.
2270 Human life must be respected and protected absolutely from the moment of conception. From the first moment of his existence, a human being must be recognized as having the rights of a person - among which is the inviolable right of every innocent being to life.72
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you.73
My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately wrought in the depths of the earth.74
2271 Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable. Direct abortion, that is to say, abortion willed either as an end or a means, is gravely contrary to the moral law:
You shall not kill the embryo by abortion and shall not cause the newborn to perish.75
God, the Lord of life, has entrusted to men the noble mission of safeguarding life, and men must carry it out in a manner worthy of themselves. Life must be protected with the utmost care from the moment of conception: abortion and infanticide are abominable crimes."
"It is way past time that these people were forced to pay property taxes."
I hope so, then the priests would have the free speech to tell the congregation not to vote for antilife candidates (which they already do), but be able to name NAMES (like Obama, et al).
"Catholic church, pro-abortion and pro-ACORN."
No, they were just too trusting, and did not investigate ACORN well enough.
I heard that they will not be contributing to ACORN this year. Does anyone know if that's true?
Thread which shows that Bishops cut off ACORN when they found out how corrupt ACORN is:
Neither my church nor the archdiocese will confirm this.
I'm not contributing unless I get verification.
If they finally do confirm this, please let us know.
It's so important to get to the bottom of this.
I have an idea: The Penny Protest.
Put one penny in an envelope, with a note, stating that as long as Catholic bishops and priests continue to refuse to speak out and do nothing to excommunicate pro-abortion politicians, they will not get more than that one penny a week.
Four pennies a month should get their attention. Spread the idea around to your Catholic friends!
Here are the latest updates on this:
U.S. Bishops Cut All Funding to ACORN, Activities Funded Hard to Determine
Bishop discusses reasons behind cutoff of ACORN funding
Catholic Church drops ACORN funding
And the organ needs to be tuned. PLEASE, don't forget such things. It's an issue in my parish. We don't have the cash to tune and repair a $2 million instrument for less than $5k. There's also the wine, the wafers, sending the vestments to the dry cleaner, etc. Put a request on the memo line on your check if you have to.
Our priest announced after Mass last week that a building inspector had been around and told him that he needed to replace or upgrade the elevator between the main floor and the basement, which is used for coffee, meetings, choir practice, library, and the like. Estimated cost: $50,000. And we're having problems paying the heating bills or maintaining the cemetery.
He said the church would be "shut down" in a year if it isn't done. Interesting. How would that play out with the Constitution?
When will people come to their senses and realize that this sort of unfunded government mandate is destroying our country and is no longer affordable?
That is Obama's position on abortion.
52% of Catholics voted for him.
There should have been 0% Catholics voting for him, in my opinion.
You got that right, FReeper FRiend.
See. We agree. ;)
Bzzzzt. False.
We now know without a doubt whose side he is on - as if we didn't before ...
***some of the charities they support are very dubious***
Like Planned Parenthood - the country's largest abortion provider.

Ok, I want to go to the places you've been! :) Wow, you are here in AL a lot - I think AU is just 3 1/2 hours from where I live. I'll be going to South AL in the spring - no football team there, so I just root for both of the AL teams. I've met so many people who love AU - it's very popular around here!
Hi Lynn! Great to meet you! I look forward to reading more of your posts. Hope you're having a great week!

Jennette McCurdy iCarly Interview
You know Jennette McCurdy as Sam on iCarly, the one who kidnapped Zayn in that awesome episode with One Direction. Sadly, this is the last season of iCarly, so after the finale, we will have to survive with only reruns. We got to talk to Jennette to find out what her life outside the show is like.
Q: How has Sam has changed over the years?
Jennette: Sam has become more witty than snarky over the years.
Q: Do you have an all-time favorite episode or favorite guest star?
Jennette: My favorite episodes have been "iTwins," "iWas a Pageant Girl," and "iGo to Japan" and Jimmy Fallon was my favorite guest star! [Sonja: Wait. Not One Direction?? How is that possible?]
Is there a book you are looking forward to reading this summer?
Jennette: I'm reading a book called A Brief History of Everything. My former on-set school teacher gave it to me, and I am really enjoying it so far. Reading keeps my brain alert and patient. It helps improve my focus and makes me feel smarter, which is always nice.
What books influenced your life to make you who you are today?
Jennette: The five books that have influenced my life are Oh, the Places You'll Go!, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Little Engine That Could, A Child Called 'It', and Harry Potter.
Q: What flavor of ice cream you would invent and what would you name it?
Jennette: Calorie-less cookies and cream . . . "The Stacks" Website.
Q: What is one thing you wish everyone would do to make the world a better place?
Jennette: Smile more. Don't sweat the small stuff. (Myself included.)
Q: What is the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you?
Jennette: I was hanging at a water park for two hours and my shorts were see-through. Yowzas!
What food could you not live without?
Jennette: Apples and ice cream.
Q: What is your favorite song?
Jennette: My favorite song right now is "Wide Awake" by Katy Perry.
What would a perfect day include?
Jennette: The perfect day would include watching movies, seeing a live comedy show, getting in a good workout, going for a cup of coffee with a friend, reading, and dreaming.
Q: Do you have a personal motto or favorite quote?
Jennette: My personal mottos is, "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade. Then add sugar to taste!"
I like that! Are you sad that iCarly is ending? Leave your thoughts in the Comments.

The Original L.L.Bean Boot, made in Maine since 1912
FREE Shipping, No Minimum Order
Estimated 2-5 business days for delivery.
We've redesigned our original women's 10" hunting boots with an improved leather and a new rubber sole that's softer and more flexible so you can better feel the forest floor.
The original Maine Hunting Shoe was Leon Leonwood Bean's first product, introduced in 1912. Over the years, we've made lots of improvements to these boots, but hunters have told us that they miss the moccasin-like feel that our original "duck" boots had in the woods. So we set out to bring it back.

won't fit mountain bike easily
By MTB beginner
from Northern VA
About Me Casual/ Recreational
See all my reviews
Comments about Saris Bones Trunk Rack (3 Bike):
Due to the spacing between the mounting bracket is so close to each other, it is very difficult to mount 2 mountain bikes (29er) next to each other, let alone 3 bikes unless the bike is real small. It's probably work for skinny road bike. The rack is easy to install and very sturdy though.

You can still open the trunk when the bikes are on the rack.

Nice Product, I highly Recommend It.
By cuticousa
from New York City
I would hihgly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a versatile bike rack that can be install in less then five minutes. I bought this particular rack because of a previous experience using the same one which I borrowed from my sister. It fits perfectly on my Toyota, Highlander or Minivan without any problems.
(4 of 4 customers found this review helpful)
good product
By roadie
from Michigan
fits all types of cars, quickly assembled, adjusted and disassembled, stable, good price. Fits 3 road bikes or 2 mountain bikes, a 3rd mountain bike may be a challenge to find space for without rubbing between the other 2. Metal ends that attach around the hatch door need to be carefuly placed and removed to prevent scratching or leaving a print in the car paint. Good product
(2 of 4 customers found this review helpful)
Three bike?
By Louie
from Southwest Missouri
Bought this to haul 3 mountain bikes, so far I haven't figured out how to get all three on the carrier at the same time.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: You need to alternate which direction the bikes face, so the first would face right, the second left then the third to the right.

By Marx
from New Jersey
This rack system is awesome. People complain about the plastic adjustable knobs a lot but they don't get the fact that YOU DON'T HAVE TO TIGHTEN THEM TO DEATH. This rack system is very easy to install.. loading and unloading of bikes is very easy! .. the only gripe I probably have is that my kids' bikes won't fit on it but other than that, this rack rocks.

P1/39-53 Campbell Parade, North Bondi
An apartment! You're not missing out, though; this three bedroom, three bathroom penthouse has the proportions of a house (and a private elevator, to boot). It's located in one of Australia's most celebrated spots – North Bondi, just up the road from Bondi Beach, which is squarely in view.
The apartment is brand new, and it's clearly intended for the higher end of town; it combines excellent design with luxury fittings. The kind of fittings that make you think 'Hm, if I were rich, I'd totally buy this!' Although my true love will always be heritage properties (and rectangular modernist masterpieces – love those places!), I want this. Let me tell you why.
The master bedroom was the first element that sprung out at me; it's very large, incorporating its own study, has a fantastic view of the beach, and boasts in-built, white storage units that serve to create a type of walk-through robe that is incorporated into the room itself. Like the rest of the apartment, it's extremely light – and good natural light is one of the features I find most important in apartments.
The two other bedrooms are both of good sizes, with one of them possessing a balcony with louvres, which is fitting given the penthouse design prizes outdoor spaces. The thick floorboards act as a fantastic base – classic, ageless, and complementary of any decor. The bathrooms are lined with contemporary grey tiles (big tick from me there as grey is one of my favourite colours for interiors), and the en suite boasts a space age bath.
The stairwell provides some design interest in itself, with a circular break in the wall serving to ensure that the stairs are well-lit. The kitchen is, predictably, very slick and modern, but the surprise is its size and the bonus add-ons it has, such as the circular section at its end with wine fridges. Um, yes please.
The second level shows off the benefits of open plan design; the kitchen flows onto the living and dining areas, ensuring that the entertaining space has a front-row seat to the beach view. This is also true of the rooftop terrace. Basically, I'd like to have a party here.
This penthouse is perfect for North Bondi – it has the views, the good looks, the walkability. The area is an interesting combination of Art Deco apartment blocks, federation semis and new, looming apartment blocks. Plus … there is stuff to do there. This carves out a new space as it's a small block that doesn't come with the potential headaches of larger developments; it's private, well-located, and a bit special.

"Really a Great Shoe"

Sperry Ventus
"Nice shoes at a great price. They do run long so I had to return my first pair for a full size smaller.....I must say that customer service was the best I have encountered in any business in many years. They really put the customers needs first and made the exchange simple and impressive. I will do business with them again."

Cash and Credit RegistersElectronic Cash Registers and Point-of-Sale Terminals
Some of these devices simply combined a printing electronic calculator with a cash drawer. More elaborate registers not only tracked accumulated receipts, like a traditional cash register, but handled credit card transactions and allowed clerks to scan merchandise to read off prices. These, in turn, served as input for computer systems.
