Pint-Size to Plus-Size: How to Find a Swimsuit to Flatter Any Figure
Posted Wednesday May 15, 2013 9:36 AM GMT
Shopping for the perfect swimsuit can prove to be more stressful than successful, especially if you're unsure of which silhouette flatters your figure best.
With all the styles available, it's easy to spring for one you like versus one that actually complements your curves.
Well now you can have both; a suit you'll not only love, but also one that enhances your assets and hides areas of concern. Translation: One to make you a smokin' beach bombshell.
Small Bust Size: Give your girls a little extra oomph, by opting for a top that comes with some extra padding and/or in a lively print. You can also play up your bosom with ruffles, frills, and angled lines, as they will create the illusion of a fuller chest.
*Tip: Avoid bandeau tops. They bring attention to your chest, or lack there of, and create what we call, the pancake effect.
Fuller Chest: Underwire is your friend! The structure it provides will lend you a refined silhouette up top and will help to keep the gals in place. Steer clear of spaghetti straps and excessive amounts of padding, as they will only accentuate your heavy chest in an overwhelming way. Bandeau tops are also a no-no. They won't lend the support you need and will make you vulnerable to exposure.
*Tip: Try pairing your top with a printed bottom, as this will draw attention away from your upper half.
Boyish, Petite Frame: The main rule of thumb is to remember to stay away from ultra-feminine designs. They'll steer you right into little girl territory and that's not where you want to go. Instead, invest in something with bold hues, colorblocking, and/or contoured features such as angles and strappy elements to create a curvy illusion.
Plus Size: Tankinis may be where your comfort lies, but try sporting a body-hugging one-piece, as it will lend you a streamlined silhouette. Opt for styles that have an empire waistline or are belted at the midsection. Each will draw attention to the smallest part of your body — giving you a sexy hourglass shape. Ruching and draping also do the body good, and will keep you snug and shapely in all the right places.
*Tip: Avoid prints. They will widen out your frame. Stick with bold colors or metallics!
Pear Shape: For you ladies carrying more weight in the lower-half of your body, there are a slew of swimwear options for you to sport. Our suggestion? Opt for anything that draws eyes upwards. One-piece swimsuits with plunging necklines look hot on this body type, as do bikini tops boasting wild prints.
*Tip: Steer clear of skimpy tops. They will cause your bottom half to look much bigger and will make it impossible maintain a visual balance.
Tall & Slender Frame: For all you vertically privileged ladies, we suggest you stick with a two-piece bikini. Any style would look fab on you, but we love the bandeau the best! If you do choose to go the monokini route, get playful with the design! Spring for one with a stylish print or sexy cutouts.

Mets get bad news before camp opens

The world's diamond auctions provide us with news of diamonds we didn't even know existed! So it made us very happy in the Seventy Seven Diamonds office to discover that a 101.73ct flawless pear shape diamond is about to be auctioned by Christie's on May 15th as part of the Magnificent Jewels sale at the Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues in Geneva.
Certified by GIA (Gemological Institute of America), this stone has been graded both highest in colour and clarity grading – D colour and Flawless. The diamond was cut from a 236 carat rough diamond that was discovered at the Jwaneng Mine in Botswana. Because of the sheer size of the rough diamond and the intricacy of cutting this 101ct beauty, the stone took almost 2 years to polish!
As well as owning this stone the lucky bidder on this stone will be able to name it also. The diamond world has a history of large pear shape diamonds with the 530 carat Cullinan diamond taking centre stage in the British Crown Jewellers.

|Time Taken :
|Here, I have tea-stained a striped shirt from H&M (the $15). I have cut and ripped holes in the shirt to match that of Sirius' prison garb. I am also wearing an insulated hoodie underneath a vintage blazer. The sign was made with cardboard and permanent marker. I attached black plastic beads to the sign to be able to wear it around my neck without having to carry the sign by hand.
This looks amazing! The photos are great and your expression is spot on!
Omg, this is perfect! You're a dead ringer for him!

Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:18am
PHILADELPHIA, PA—Rob Pannell fought it. But for as much as he wrestled, his blood-shot eyes, and quivering lower lip, the constant touching of his red Cornell jersey he so dearly wanted to wear forever, betrayed him.
The emotion spilled over.
One of the greatest players in Cornell history apologized. He just couldn't help himself. It hurt.
That's what Pannell was feeling after Cornell lost to Duke, 16-14, in the NCAA semifinals on Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field.
He ended his career with a flourish—scoring five goals and handing out two assists to finish as the NCAA Division I all-time career points leader with 354 points, surpassing Matt Danowski, the previous recordholder, who amassed 353 points (170 goals, 183 assists for 353 points in 80 games for Duke from 2004-08).
Pannell closed his career with 150 goals and 204 assists, over 72 games, from 2009-13 at Cornell.
So he stood there, shuffling back and forth in the main artery of Lincoln Financial Field, wincing a tear from his eye, sporadically looking down at his No. 3 Cornell jersey and trying to prolong the inevitable: Taking off something so dear to his heart for the last time—the last symbol he'll ever wear of Cornell lacrosse.
To those who never saw a lacrosse game before and witnessed Pannell playing for the first time in the NCAA semifinals, they'd swear he's the Michael Jordan of lacrosse. He certainly played the part in the final quarter—singlehandedly yanking Cornell on his mighty back and lugging Big Red to within striking distance of gradually nervous Duke.
"I don't think it was my best game, I know I had five and two, but stats don't speak for everything," Pannell said. "I probably took about 20 shots—and in the last quarter, we made this into a game, but that's our team. That's not me. That's everyone on this team. You're down seven, like we were, and that thought of never putting this jersey on in a game again hits you. You find it. You find a way to up your game even more."
Pannell was fighting for his life. Like someone holding his head under water. So he flailed and scared the hell out of Duke. He says he takes a second before he puts his jersey on before every game just to inhale the amazing journey he's had.
"I think about how lucky I am to put this jersey …" then Pannell caught himself again. "I wear the No. 10 shirt under my jersey for Eamon McEneaney [the Cornell All-American lacrosse player who was killed during the September 11 attacks]. I think how much he means to me, and how lucky I've been to play for Cornell."
Pannell's departure struck a deep emotional chord with Cornell coach Ben DeLuca. When asked about Pannell at the postgame press conference, DeLuca said there's not enough time to talk about what Pannell meant to the program and how greatly he'll be missed.
"You're talking about one of the greatest leaders our program has ever had, and one of the most complete players in the game who was never satisfied with where he was," DeLuca said. "Rob always continued to push himself. He raised the bar not only for himself, but for his teammates and our program. Rob Pannell leaves Cornell lacrosse better than he found it. His legacy will be lasting and permanent."
If anything, Pannell, who kept saying he'd give up every one of his 354 points for one NCAA championship ring, and you tend to believe him. It's why he went out swinging wildly, and why Cornell went from being down 14-8 to climbing within 14-12—on Pannell's last goal as a collegiate.
It's why he went out fighting.
"I don't know if I'll take this jersey off," Pannell said, looking down one last time at his red Cornell No. 3. "It's going to take me a little time to do that. I have 15 new best friends and this program shaped my life. It's been the best experience I've ever had. When I got here, I couldn't even imagine the success we'd have, going to the NCAA tournament, reaching the Final Four. I can't imagine where I'd be without Cornell lacrosse."
Cornell lacrosse, it appears, also owes quite a bit to Rob Pannell.

I have viewed threads for a couple of weeks on this site. I would like to tap into the experience all of you have. I am primarily a hunter. I do, as the name implies, hunt alone alot. My wife has encouraged me to get a Concealed permit, so I can carry while I am by myself. I also just feel more of a need to have a firearm with me. The only pistol I have owned is a .22 Buckmark. Anyway.
I realize there are more opinions about this subject than can be imagined, but I appreciate yours. I am leaning toward a 9mm sub compact. My reasoning is that I want something that I will likely carry, size, weight and concealibility (a word?) seem to be important to me. I have a small frame and relatively small hands. Again seems to be a lot of choices and opinions.
I like to size, weight and slim design of the Kahr PM9, and Keltec. I know there are some mixed reviews. As for price, I am considering mid price ($500-$700) or obviously less if possible. I realize that I should try a number of options before I purchase, but would like to focus or eliminate some.
Thanks in advance

FieldPoint Petroleum Corp. (FPP) Buys Oil and Gas Leases near Bakken Shale
FieldPoint Petroleum Corp. has purchased an oil and gas lease located in Renville County, North Dakota. The lease is approximately 444 to 800 acres and the company paid $155 per acre. The wells carry an average royalty rate between 16 and 20%.
FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation said that the leases acquired in North Dakota border the well-known Bakken Shale formation, an unconventional oil bearing shale located in Mountrail County, North Dakota. The oil and gas industry has spent billions developing wells in the Bakken Shale over the last two years.
"We are looking to the future, and this unconventional shale oil is a grassroots opportunity. If we are able to acquire additional leaseholds in this area it could have a profound impact on the company. Central to our growth strategy, we will continue to pursue attractive leaseholds either as solo plays or through established partnerships," said Ray Reaves, the CEO of FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation.
FieldPoint Petroleum Corporation is an oil and gas exploration and production company with assets in Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Wyoming. The company has ownership interests in 304 gross wells, and is the operator of 59 of those wells.

If your company either runs SAP, or is planning to run SAP, then you probably have a team of Super Users. But what exactly is a SAPSuper User? What do they do? What do they know? This article explores what it takes to be a highly successful SAP Super User.
A SAP Super User will possess the following skills:
• First line of support for users
• Representative for the department / process team
• Ability to communicate effectively with technical team, users and management
• Testing expertise
• Outstanding SAP training
• Continuous process improvement
• Ability to document processes, functional specification etc.
• SAP knowledge
The first thing to understand as a SAP Super User is that you are the first line of support for your customers (your colleagues using SAP).When they need help running a transaction, identifying the source of a problem, or understanding integration points, they turn to you for answers. This will take a solid understanding of SAP, knowledge of your business processes and a great deal of patience. The patience becomes imperative when you are asked the same question for the eleventh time.
As a SAP Super User you will need several other key skills. You need to be able to communicate to all levels in your organization. You often have to liaise between your user community and the more technical IT community. This liaison role is an art and a highly valued skill among SAP Super Users. Super Users are often the people that write functional specifications. Once a SAP configuration specialist or programmer fixes your problem, you'll also need to be able to thoroughly test the changed process before handing it back to users. In order to do this, you must understand how to test and make sure the changes you made didn't impact other data or processes (i.e. something else wasn't broken while fixing the original problem).
You will also be a major source of training. This training will include updating others on any changes that have been made and training new hires. You must possess the ability to train individuals one-on-one, as well as presenting to a larger classroom. Both skills are essential to the Super User role.
Characteristics of a successful super user include:
• care for the success of your company
• care about your process team's success
• problem solving
• curiosity
• detail oriented
• strong communicator
• adaptable to change
• love of learning
SAP Super Users are required for all phases of your company's SAP life. You play a significant role during your implementation, provide ongoing SAP support, drive continuous improvements and again play a key role when your company decides to perform a SAP upgrade or other major project with SAP.
I am sure you can think of many other skills and attributes of a SAP Super User. They are certainly a broad collection of skills, as a Super User does so many different things. It is a difficult and demanding role, but offers great challenge and satisfaction to those that pursue this opportunity.

Just noticed, not sure if you should play this Seya.
You won't be able to play for 15hours straight, there is a stamina system (or something alike).
how exactly does the stamina system work?
for what i read on internet... the stamina down when you complete the quest and finish it... with the rewards.. (exp items gold) your stamina goes down.. if you run out of stamina, you still can play ..complete quests.. but you cant finish it.
Sorry for my bad english xD.. and sorry if there's some mistakes...
from what i read its also monster kills
my favorite videogame death :P
I believe the stamina system should not be read in terms of "amount of quests" or "amount of kills" directly.
But in terms of amount of experience points obtained.
You can simply get X amount of exp per day, and after that the exp flow stops, but you can still play/kill stuff/complete quests up to hand in if you wish to do so.
I don't know if it applies to drops as well, but i would assume it does.
Im sorry but shouldn't this be in the foreign games section? i have no idea what its doing here but ok.
Servers are up!
EDIT: And full as hell! It's like Silkroad all over again xD

just a reminder that you should change your system locale to Chinese Simplified before installing the game or else you will get errors because the file names are messed up
totally forgot about it now I need to reinstall haha
Whats this error mean? Can't even get in past character selection.
^Apparently it means the player queue is full. And I wouldn't be surprised I'm in like a 1817 person queue right now....I'll probably try logging in when it's less busy
did the servers crash? my friend got dced and can't login and I'm still in character creation but I can't finish, I'm assuming I got dced as well
Yeah, B&S Dojo reports that most of the servers are borked at the moment.
Currently playing:
Ok gave it a go and unfortunately the game is unplayable with ~400 ping and I'm not going to spend money on a Game Booster.

Worlds in Collision (1950)
by Immanuel Velikovsky
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Pseudoscientific nonsense. Back in the 1950s, it was understandable that the gullible and ignorant could be taken in by this ridiculous work. That some people still are is inexcusable, now that the wealth of scientific knowledge is available to anyone with a computer and an internet connection.
Fun to read but pretty obviously wrong.
I'm giving this a high score for pure pleasure in reading, and in witnessing someone being able to draw together global mythologies into a coherent narrative. As for the science/actual believability of it all? No clue, and I'm a born skeptic– but I'll admit, it was a really fun read.
Not the easiest read ever but fascinating. I think his reasoning is, at times, seriously flawed and he hasn't convinced me but he puts up a good argument with lots of evidence from ancient writings, if you take them literally. Very interesting and does make you think if nothing else.
Worlds in Collision is a controversial book in which Immanuel Velikovsky argues that myths and legends from the worlds ancient cultures, suggest that the Earth has been subjected to global planetary catastrophes. By comparing ancient texts, Velikovsky argues that many cultures described the same cosmic scenarios, for example, that dozens of traditions describe the planet Venus as having once looked like a comet.
Before publication, scientists threatened the original publisher, Macmillan, with a boycott, resulting in the books transfer to Doubleday. Other scientists criticized the book as being unscientific (it's a history book!), though many boasting that they had not read it, with the irony being lost.
In 1974, the AAAS organized a conference on Velikovsky's work, which was widely reported as successfully demolishing the theories. Proponents disagreed. For example, Dr. Robert Jastrow of NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Studies wrote: "Professor [Carl] Sagan's calculations, in effect, ignore the law of gravity. Here, Dr. Velikovsky was the better astronomer."
Worlds in Collision tends to polarize people. Velikovsky certainly erred in some of his predictions, but others were surprisingly accurate, eg. (a) that the Earth has been subject to catastrophes (b) Venus would be found to be hot (c) Jupiter would be found to emit radio noise. While other prediction are apparently bunkum (eg. Venus was once a comet), it is interesting that NASA's Pioneer Venus Orbiter discovered that Venus has a tail (see New Scientist).

starter knock
Want to get opinion on this issue. Its under warranty and if it needs to be replaced, better now. lol
When I start my vehicle, at the exact point in time when it starts, I sometimes get a rather loud KNOCK. One knock only right at start. Does not do it al the time, maybe 30%. Is that the starter???
If so, I don't remember ever hearing that until about the last 5 months or so.
Does the starter have issues? Should it be replaced??

Re: starter knock
Mine does that sometimes and I assume it is the starter solenoid not pulling back the "bendix gear" fast enough. I discovered that sometimes if I crank it fast enough to release the key from the crank position it does not do it but I guess it should not be this way... I do not think it will leave you stranded - it will just make that noise that's all. The only time I would worry is when you get noises and it will not turn the motor or is intermittent.

The huge and unprecedented squeeze on family budgets since the start of the credit crunch is revealed today.
British families are spending more than £60 a week less in real terms than they did in 2006, the last boom year, according to data from government statisticians.
Household spending peaked at a weekly average of £541.20 in 2006 and has fallen steadily ever since, after allowing for inflation, to £483.60 last year.
It is the longest fall in family spending since the Great Depression and helps to explain why the economy — and the high street in particular — has struggled to recover from recession.
The figures, in the annual Family Spending survey from the Office for National Statistics, show falls in every category of weekly spending, apart from "heating, fuel and power".
This rose in real terms from £58.30 in 2005/2006 to £63.30 last year.
The headline figure, not allowing for inflation, puts family spending at an-all time high of £483.60 a week last year compared with £473.60 a week in 2010.
However, families' buying power has been eroded by a rise in the cost of living.
The rate of inflation has been far above the Government's target of two per cent for much of the past four years and hit five per cent last year.
The latest retail figures show high street sales limped forward 0.4 per cent in November compared with last year.
Stephen Robertson, director general of the British Retail Consortium, said the figures suggested that customers "are taking care not to spend too much too soon".

I had a seerious accident 20 years ago and broke my neck. It literally changed my life since I was always so active all my life, I was a very good athelete so could eat almost anything I wanted and was able to burn it off.
To make a very long story short, I became disabled 10 years after my accident and could no longer work because of neck pain. After that I became depressed and food became my best friend, and was leading a sedintary lifestyle.....fast-forward 10 more years and I had gained a whopping 200 pounds. My weight affected my health adversly of course and wound up practically incapacitated.
One day I decided I had had enough of this and decided to do something about it. I joined a gym and started swimming since I grew up on the beaches in L.A. and was an avid swimmer. Pretty soon I had lost 50 pounds with exercise and diet and kept going. I had lost 160 pounds and was back, physically and mentally. My neck was still a problem because my breat size went from a 32 B to 50 DD. I decided to check into breast reduction surgery.
I asked around and surfed the internet and chose a consultation with Dr. Wallace at Coastal Cosmetics. I had the surgery in November 2012. I am so pleased with my results, and Dr.Wallace and his staff have been such a blessing, I just wish I had done this sooner. I still have issues with my neck, but have been able to be so much more active without all that extra fat because of my breasts. I would recommend Coastal Cosmetics to anyone having any procedure. They truly treat you as family.

Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai
17.01.2008 - 24.01.2008
View round the world on calumfife's travel map.
The bus trip from Luang Prabang to the border at Thailand, didn't disappoint, another test of endurance for 12 hours. Firstly there were no allocated seats, so we had to arrive at the bus station an hour before it left. The locals were clearly expert at this, and many of them looked like they might have pitched up 2 or 3 hours before. So when we produced our ticket we were pointed to the bus and told to go find seats. Every seat had someone's bag strategically placed on it apart from the very back row, so we took a window seat each. Then we sat outside and waited until about 15 mins before we were due to depart before everyone piled onto the bus. There was then an hour and a half of chaos and no air-con whilst the bus was loaded to bursting with people, and they strapped various things to the roof.
Not satisfied that there were enough people on the bus having filled all the seats, a stack of of tiny plastic stools was produced, and lined down the aisle. So, once there were approximately a million people on the bus, and no oxygen left we got going, an hour and a half after we were supposed to. As usual, this was a false start, as we drove round the town to a petrol station for them to fill up the bus.....with the engine running, which I always find a bit concerning. Then for the next 12 hours, through the night, we had to listen to blaring loud Lao music. I felt a bit sorry for the people in the cheap seats in the aisle, as the road was really bumpy and windy, so most of them stood and clung to the ceiling hand rails, as opposed to sliding about on their stools. The bus arrived at our destination, Huay Xai, at 5.30am. Two and a half hours early! Due to the blind conering at 100 miles an hour the whole way there. So we were dumped at the bus station, in the dark, freezing cold. We took a songtheaw - (literally translated as "two rows") which is a van with 2 benches along the sides in the back - to the immigration office. It was closed and didn't open until 8, so we had to sit around in the freezing cold for another 2 hours, which was fun.
We did eventually get across the Mekong river, that acts as the border, and caught a bus on the other side to Chiang Rai. We were both shattered for the next couple of days.
We didn't get off to a very good start in Chiang Rai, as there didn't seem to be much to do, although there is a market it's mostly residential. When we were wandering about we saw little wooden signs directing to "Chiang Rai Beach", which we thought was odd, as Northern Thailand is landlocked. There is a river though, so we decided to play it by ear and go on a little adventure to find it just by following the signs. There were quite a few signs, then they disappeared. We walked about 2 miles in the blistering heat to the outskirts of town where we found a massive motorway style sign to the beach. By that stage we'd had enough, and decided that it didn't in fact exist and the signs were just there to take the piss out of tourists, so we walked the 2 miles back into town. The main feature of Chiang Rai was the night market. The main square has tables in the middle and is lined round the outside by food hawkers. This was great. Really cheap, good, spicy food for next to nothing, and free entertainment on the stage. There were also quite a few child beggars.
There were lots of locals selling souvenirs, and a woman doing tarot readings. We passed by her and she was very interested in Jenny. She said she had a "very lucky chin". I just about wet myself, and have been slagging her ever since.
From Chiang Rai we took a bus 4 hours West to Chiang Mai. Chiang Mai's got alot more to it than Chiang Rai. It's th 2nd biggest city in Thailand. It's pretty touristy, but there's loads to do and see. Lots and lots of temples. Think we've seen enough temples to last a lifetime. They have some extra gold ones in Northern Thailand.
We did go and see a variation on the theme on the outskirts of Chiang Mai, at Wat u mong. This is in the forest and quite overgrown. It also had a series of tunnels to wander through, and a lake with giant catfish and turtels to feed, which was a bit different.
We did a Thai cooking class on our second day. This was excellent. It was just us and an Australian guy. We started off by agreeing what we were going to cook then took a trip to the local market, where we were told all about the various typical Thai ingredients. We also bought the ingredients for our dishes. We then got into the cooking itself.
It was good fun, really simple, and the end product was almost retaurant standard, even if I do say so myself. We cooked 5 dishes and they were all great. By the end we were all stuffed.
Really worthwhile, definitely going to try and recreate them back home.
Yesterday we splashed out and went to the Elephant Nature Park about an hour North of Chiang Mai. This was pretty amazing too. There are various companies that offer elephant related activites, trekking, riding, mahout courses etc. but the elephant nature park is dedicated to saving asian elephants from the illegal logging industry, and from Burma. They have a lot of elephants that have been injured or abused over the years. The emphasis of the park is to allow elephants to roam free and socialise as they would in the wild, or as near to it as possible. With as little human interaction as possible.
It's an incredible place. Being able to get so close to them, and watch them roaming about in their little groups was really impressive. Whilst many of them have lots of problems, they all looked really happy and enjoying what they were doing. All of the mahouts - elephant drivers - have been retrained so they don't use the metal hooks that other operations use to control the animals. They use voice commands and positive reinforcement. None of the elephants are made to carry tourists, as most of the other outfits do. Apparently elephants backs are not designed to bare much weight, and so to ride them is not good for them.
We got to feed the elephants watermelon. The elephants would line up and stick their trunks out and we would place the fruit in their trunk. We fed the old granny one, 75 with only one tooth.
Accordingly, she had had her watermelons specially peeled. We then got to go and follow the elephants to the river and help wash them, with buckets and scrubbing brushes. This was really incredible too. We were basically allowed to wander amongst the elephants freely and touch them.
Quite frightening at times, as they are such enormous, strong animals, and they just wandered where they wanted too. Of course once they had all been cleaned, they got straight out and sprayed dust all over themselves.
The younger ones all headed straight for a muddy pool and were pushing each other in and sliding about in the mud, having a great time.
It was so great to watch, and we were literally 10 yards away. We then got shown a pretty distressing movie about traditional methods of training, where they break tohe spirit of the elephants and poke them with sharpened sticks. Not very pleasant to watch. We also got to meet the founder of the sanctuary, a little Thai woman called lek. She answered everyones questions, and gave loads of background about the place. It was really interesting. We then got another opportunity to wash the elephants before we returned to Chiang Mai. All in all a really great experience that I'd recommend to anyone.
I think Jenny might want to return to live there. You can volunteer and it's a shame that we didn't have a bit longer, as that would have been fun.
Today is another boring day of hanging about for a night bus back to Bangkok, where we are catching a plane to Krabi tomorrow morning. Last real bit of travelling, as we've only got a short time left, we're going to be taking a bus, plane and boat in the next 24 hours, and with any lucky be back on Ko Phi Phi by tomorrow afternoon. I'm sure Jenny's chin will see us through.....

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Was the $10,000 that your employer classified as an expense advance included on your paycheck as taxable income or did they give you a separate check for that amount with no taxes withheld?
Hello againCustomer
An employer can pay you any amount that he wants to for any reason that he wants to. However, an employer cannot just "at will" decide to classify payments as an expense advance, if the expenses have not been accounted for. If you have not documented actual expenses that were incurred in connection with your employment, then all or a portion of the $10,000 would be taxable income. The employer legally should include this amount in your taxable wages that are reported to you at the end of the year on your W-2 form, and you would be liable for taxes on this amount.
I would think as a starting point that you need to make an accounting of your actual out of pocket expenses to see if you really had enough to cover the $10,000 "expense advance" that you were given. You should then send an accounting of those expense to your employer to justify the amount you were given. If your actual expenses fall short of the $10,000, then at the very least you will be liable for taxes on the portion that was overpaid.
Aside from the tax issue, there is another issue with your employer now saying that they want the money back because the payment was not authorized. I guess the question is who authorized the payment to begin with? I would have to assume that was the employer. It seems to me that it would be very difficult if not impossible for them to come back to you now and demand repayment of this money, however, you should really seek the advice of an attorney in this field for an answer to that question. Just keep in mind that even if you do not end up having to repay this money, you may be liable for taxes on any portion that you cannot justify as actual expenses incurred.
If this was helpful please press the Accept button. Positive feedback is also appreciated.
Thank you.

Homeland Security's outrageous policy of unwarranted search and seizure of electronic devices such as laptops at the border is being called to task, by Senators Feingold, Cantwell, Wyden, and Akaka through the Traveler's Privacy Protection Act of 2008 (S. 3612), a most reasonable piece of legislation that would reign in the police state a bit and give us back a little bit of the "land of the free†that some elements of government are anxious to eradicate in the name of "security.â€
The risk to privacy and personal security under the present policy is obvious. Border guards can seize your laptop and search it, both physically and electronically, without having to give any reason for doing so. To the point, they can read your emails. The current Homeland Security policy allows agents at the border and in airports to seize and review the contents of electronic equipment "absent individualized suspicion.†Read the rest of this article

Niggemeyer said, "I need to catch over 20 to even get into the cut. I know a place where I can go catch five but thats not going to do it. So I'm pretty much just fishing right now."
He said yesterday was the worst day he's had since he's been here. He suspects he got too tuned into one depth zone, so today he has different Strike King bait types on for different depth zones.
He loves the Flip Clips for keeping deep-caught fish upright and healthy. I've never heard of them -- they sound cool.

GOP convention committee is in town
(Cleveland) - Republican Party leaders are getting an up-close look at Cleveland this week. GOP officials arrived in town Monday as they decide on a site for the party's 2016 national convention.
Ohio Republican Party Chairman Matt Borges says Cleveland is the perfect location. Borges also says the political impact of having a convention in the state is as big as the economic impact on the region.
Cleveland is the GOP convention committee's first stop on its tour, which also include Dallas, Denver and Kansas City. A final decision will be made later in the summer.

"I was very happy with how my cards turned out! I had special instructions and they were fulfilled flawlessly and I received my cards quickly! I would recommend for sure!"
"My daughter absolutely loves her graduation announcements. The quality is excellent, and it was very easy to do. They were delivered super fast and comes in a nice functional box. I loved these so much I made my niece's baby shower invitations through Tiny Prints."
"We chose this design due to it being timeless and classic. The paper and font added to it's elegant style we were hoping for."
"Our graduation order arrived when expected but far nicer than expected!! The options available for colors was good and the quality of the card stock was impressive! It added to the overall product immensely having such a solid card, not bendable as some that we have received from other people have been... Would absolutely order through Tinyprints again."
"This invitation was nearly perfect. The font could have been bolder (and maybe there was a way to change it that I didn't see) - but it was still sufficient - and the rest of the design and the pictures turned out awesome. So easy and fast!"

Investing in Generation Y and the Next Great Baby Boom
Posted by: Charles Sizemore (IP Logged)
Date: November 16, 2013 07:59AM
No respect.
Generation Y, like Rodney Dangerfield, has a problem: they get no respect.
I'm joking, of course, but at this stage of their lives Gen Y really isn't taken as seriously as they would like to be. It is to be expected; they're young.
The front end of Generation Y was born in the early 1980s, but the biggest cohort was born in the "mini baby boom" between 1989 and 1991. This puts them in their early 20s today, in their last years of college or their first years on the job.
There are a few things you should know about Generation Y. Growing up in such a large generation, they are competitive. I grew up in Generation X, a much smaller generation. For me and my peers, everything from making the little league baseball team to getting accepted to college was comparatively easy; there were relatively few of us competing for each slot. Not so for Generation Y. This is the generation that had to start studying for the SAT at age 11 and spend their summers building homes in Africa in order to be considered for admission to a decent university. Having grown up in comparative abundance, they may be a little spoiled. But they're certainly not slackers.
Your last experience with a member of Generation Y may have been having your order taken at Starbucks. But as hard as it may be to believe today, that barista is going to be a mom or dad in a few short years. And in the process, they are going to create a massive boom in everything from baby formula to starter homes.
Let's take a look at the numbers here. Depending on where you draw the precise lines, Generation Y is either a little bigger or a little smaller than the Baby Boomers. But we're talking about approximately 80 million people.
The average age of first childbirth is about 25-26 years today for American women, though that number continues to rise a little each year. The higher educated a woman is, the longer she is likely to postpone motherhood, and Gen Y women are the highest-educated generation of women in U.S. history. A bad economy with high unemployment among the young has probably added another year or two to the average as well.
But biological clocks don't stop ticking, and the largest cohort of Gen Y women is quickly approaching their peak family formation years. I expect the number of live births to increase every year from now through the early 2020s. And if Gen Y has the standard two kids per family, you're talking about 80 babies being born in the years ahead.
How do you invest in this macro trend? Take your pick. You could invest in the makers of infant formula, such as Abbott Labs (ABT ) or Mead Johnson Nutrition ( MJN ). You could buy a portfolio of rental houses in the neighborhoods where young families are moving…or for that matter, you could selectively invest in homebuilder stocks. You could start a business that caters to new parents…or grandparents! Any or all of these are perfectly viable ways to play this trend.
But if you want to be a successful investor in the U.S. equity markets over the next two decades, a general rule of thumb applies: figure out what Gen Y will be buying in the years ahead and invest in it before the crowd catches on. And give Gen Y a little respect. Their consumer preferences will shape the U.S. economy for the next generation.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/2/2014 (1229 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Jordan Reaves' career with the Brandon University Bobcats men's basketball team has not gone the way he hoped.
In his five years in Brandon, the 6-foot-4 forward who put his heart and soul into the team never made the Canada West post-season with the club, and on Saturday the team lost the final game he will ever play in front of the Brandon fans.
The Bobcats struggled for most of Saturday's contest at the Healthy Living Centre as they fell 94-78 to the Lethbridge Pronghorns and it left Reaves, who received a standing ovation when he was honoured as a graduating player before the game, fighting back tears after the final buzzer.
"This is really tough," he said. "It's just tough to think of next season without these guys. They're my family and my best friends. It will be tough leaving them behind. I hope to go pro next year and on to bigger and better things, but this is bittersweet for sure."
Reaves was one of four graduating players honoured before the game, along with Isaiah James, James Elias and Emerick Ravier. All four of them started for the Bobcats, but the team struggled with its three-point shooting in the first half and with its pick and roll defence in the second quarter, which resulted in a 12-point halftime lead for the Pronghorns (14-6) that the Bobcats (5-15) couldn't overcome.
Ravier and Kenonte Ramsey led Brandon with 16 points each, while Reaves and Ilarion Bonhomme both added 13. James finished with nine points while Elias grabbed three rebounds.
Logan Reiter had 22 for the Pronghorns.
Much like his final game at the Healthy Living Centre, Ravier admits his three years in Brandon were a roller-coaster ride and didn't quite go the way he thought.
"The first time I came here it was an unknown," said the Ottawa native, who missed a season and a half with a knee injury. "I didn't know about Brandon, I didn't know about Manitoba. I never visited anywhere except Ontario.
"We got off to a start with the basketball team and then there was the school strike and coach wasn't around, and then I got hurt and had to sit out last year. It's all been about patience. I had to be patient for everything and this year was the time to go."
Although the fifth-year players are disappointed they couldn't win the final home game of their careers, they get a chance to redeem themselves next weekend when they play their final Canada West basketball games in Regina against the Cougars (4-16).
Reaves believes those two games are must-wins.
"We disappointed our home fans these last two games," he said. "I don't want to disappoint my team in these last two. I'm never going to play with these guys again, never. This is my last chance to get to show them how much they mean to me and how good we actually are when we play together.
"We know what's on the line. We're not making playoffs or anything, but everybody realizes we're not going to be together next year, so it's very important that we get these last two wins."

Arsène Wenger is yet to decide whether or not to hand Sol Campbell a contract for next season.
The defender re-joined Arsenal on a short-term deal in January and has already made nine first-team appearances for the Gunners.
The 35-year-old is expected to start against Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday and ahead of the game Wenger was asked if Campbell is likely to be given a new deal for next season.
"I don't know yet," he responded. "I don't want officially to commit on that because I don't know what I will do.
"At the start he came to ask me if I could help him to get fit. Now he plays tomorrow against Tottenham. So that doesn't mean he has signed a contract for next season.
"Maybe he will not want to play, I don't know what I will want to do. At the moment we have short-term targets."

This Man Keeps Fond NYC Subway Memories Alive with Impressive Model Train Hobby
Millions of people in this country have hobbies. There's stamp collecting, role playing games, beer making -- you name it, it's out there.
And then there's my dad, Richard Dornhelm. He grew up in New York City in the 1940s and '50s and fell in love with the city's trains -- especially the ones running underground.
"I'm a civil engineer by training," he says now. "And I'm a Brooklyn boy by birth. We never had a car; we had a subway. We took the subway to my grandma's house or we took the subway to museums. Took the subway to Coney Island. We took the subway pretty much everywhere we went."
When he was little, Dad and his brother Mark always stood at the front of the first car, where they'd stare out the huge front window as the trains barreled down the track.
[Listen to the audio version of this story at KQED]
"There wasn't much to see in a tunnel," Dad says. "So it was really the anticipation that this train would take you somewhere and you'd come out of this hole in the ground and be in a very different place. A different world."
Dad grew up in Brooklyn -- near the Church Avenue station, on the F line -- and stayed there until he finished college. He eventually landed in California where he met my mom, who also grew up near the Church Avenue stop. When I was growing up, he only rode the subway when we went back East to visit family.
And then 15 years ago, he went to a railway museum in Rio Vista, a river town near Sacramento. And there he found some of the original 1880s steam-powered cars that once ran on Manhattan's elevated tracks.
The two cars survived because they'd been sold for use in the Kaiser Shipyards in Richmond -- across the bay from San Francisco. After seeing them, my dad went home and started thinking about how to build replicas by hand, remembering subway modeling he'd done as a teen. And then the project just sort of took off.
One car led to another, and one subway line led to the next -- the old BMT, the Independent, and so on. You can see where this is going.
"I never intended to end up with 100 cars," Dad says.
But he did. And now my parents' living room in what is otherwise a simple 1970s tract home in Walnut Creek looks like a New York City rail yard. Dad's hand-crafted cars are about a foot long, of all colors, from all eras. They've won awards and run in holiday shows at Manhattan's Grand Central Station. There are antique-looking ones with paneled wooden sides and tiny bare lightbulbs. And there are shiny new stainless steel.
My dad allows that other people "don't look at subways the same way I do." Asked to explain, he adds: "I think they're a marvel of ingenuity and even if they are a hole in the ground, it still has really produced enormous benefits for the people in the cities."
My own kids have love for Dad's trains, too, driving them on a mock elevated track he's built. They can't really understand the hundreds of hours of work these incredibly detailed, built-from-scratch trains represent.
There are turquoise-and-white cars, replicas of cars built for a World's Fair. There's the 1930s "Green Hornet," originally made of aluminum and shaped like a BART train, but scrapped because of World War II. And then there's the bright orange refrigerator car, something he remembers from the 1950s.
"The doors would open and people from the neighborhood would go up and buy crates of wine-making grapes," Dad remembers. "It was largely an Italian neighborhood. I remember I first heard about California because those orange refrigerator cars were from this place called California. Wonderful place I thought. Too bad the subway doesn't go there."
Over the holidays, I watched my Dad sanding wood in his workshop, which used to be my room. His father was a toolmaker and my Dad uses some of those tools as he works.
I'm struck by how much these models bring together: My dad and his father. Our families in California and Brooklyn. My dad's childhood with his grandkids'. I can't help but admire the cars' artistry as we look at them. He reminds me some of them will be mine someday.
"You don't have to keep them all," he says. "You can just pick a few. And remember the subway… and remember me. What else can I say?"
To see more photos head over to KQED's The California Report where this article originally appeared. There's also a charming video of a model train pulling into a model El station and passengers "get on" the train with no seeming human hand at the puppet strings. Or go see the real things at the NY Transit Museum.

One day I showed the leader of the pack my latest possession: The Motley Fool Investment Guide, freshly signed by the kings of Fools, Tom and Dave Gardner. I told him he should become a Fool and he scoffed (as he usually does), "Who would want to be known as a Fool?" When I said, "I'm a Fool," he just laughed.
Well, how times have changed! Guess who's Foolish now? It gives me great pleasure to hear them talk about listening to The Motley Fool Radio Show. They talk about Tom and Dave on Brinker's radio show, and I also noticed the Fool website bookmarked in financial favorites on the old office PC. (But, they didn't hear it from me, did they?)
Looking at my portfolio, I'm proud to be a Fool and I urge everyone out there to spread the word, because the more you talk about something, the better you understand it yourself.
Most people have a very limited scope on financial matters. You will be helping them, and that in turn helps you. I cannot believe what a great place it can be, right where you are standing. And, it's amazing to find that karma is very powerful.
I thank the brothers Gardner for myself and for the converts here at work. Please accept a tip from my Foolish jester cap!

Crocodile Dundee's Paul Hogan gets early Christmas present
By Pauline Askin
SYDNEY (Reuters) - Paul Hogan, star of the "Crocodile Dundee" movies, got an early Christmas present this week -- the Australian Tax Office abandoned its criminal investigation of him and his business manager for tax evasion.
The news, which ended a years-long legal struggle in which Hogan was investigated over allegations that he put tens of millions of dollars in film royalties in offshore tax havens as part of a broader probe, came as a relief, his lawyer Andrew Robinson said in a statement.
"After nearly six years of massively costly investigations during which our clients have been routinely branded in the local and international press as 'tax cheats' and 'tax criminals', the news... is of immense relief to them," Robinson said.
"They now look forward to resolving any outstanding matters with the Australian Taxation Office in accordance with the usual dispute resolution protocol."
In July, the tax office was reported to have served Hogan, best known for his role as an outback hunter, with an amended tax bill for tax on $37.6 million of undeclared income.
Hogan repeatedly denied the allegations, saying he had "paid plenty of tax" in Australia.
Robinson said they had not been able to contact Hogan, but that his business manager, John "Strop" Cornell, was preparing to celebrate.
"That speck in the sky is my hat and I look forward to sampling some of Strop's patented hangover cure tomorrow morning," Cornell said in a press release. Continued...

After Three Tough Ballgames, Falcons Look To Get Well Against Sinking 49ersNiners were impressive in season-opening win over Minnesota, but have lost six of seven since, and have looked increasingly worse every week.
49ers 2014 Season Marred By InjuriesAs the 49ers look back on this season, it will not be positive. The team almost had a losing record, and missed the playoffs after 3 straight NFC Championship games. However, the teams awful season has to do with injuries than anything else, and a problem that shouldn't haunt them next season.
49er Defense Must Stop Run, Create Turnovers To Defeat SeattleWhen the 49ers and Seahawks meet for the third time this season the stakes could not be higher. The winner will move on to the Super Bowl, while the loser will have to deal with falling just short of the big stage and to make matters worse at the hands of their hated division rival.
San Francisco's Defense Saves Their Postseason HopesIt may not have held the prestige of a game like "The Catch", but with a 34-24 victory, San Francisco will always remember this final regular season game at Candlestick Park, thanks in large part to a costly Falcons turnover late in the game.

Daily life constantly reaffirms the relevance of folk Proverbs, which do not lose their sharpness over the centuries, and only teach wisdom and shame stupidity. For example, this: "everything flows, everything changes". Worldwide it has long been known that midwife a terrorist organization "al Qaeda" is the United States that are running their own agent of Osama bin Laden joined the rabble of terrorists, thugs and scum to fight against Soviet troops in Afghanistan.
As you know, in this country Limited contingent of Soviet forces already at that time fought against the emergence of terrorism as an international phenomenon, not letting it spread to neighbouring countries. But that's when Washington put its terrorist allies "Stingers" to fight against the USSR and CIA agents in a specific fee paid to the bandits brought the heads of the killed Soviet soldiers and officers. The middle ages, You might say, but no, it was the reality of the 80-ies. "Free" the American press excitedly told me about these "exploits" bandits, and American political figures were photographed together with members of the "al Qaeda" on the background of killed Soviet soldiers.

Experts «BUSINESS Online" do not see in the appreciation of the domestic currency long-term trend and predict new "black Tuesday"
Maxim Kalashnikov — writer-futurist (Moscow):
" I looked like funneling foreign currency reserves, 5 billion a week. So not happy. I saw that when I dropped the oil, and the ruble was growing up, we were clearly in the flow of foreign exchange reserves. I believe this is incorrect. I believe that it was necessary to devalue the ruble to the desired level and to keep and not to engage in the consumption of foreign exchange reserves. There are ways to cut off from the exchange of currency speculators: if you buy a currency, then the present contract, under what you're buying. There are examples of restraint of currency speculation banks, as did the crew. Then I would be happy. Then our more government, I'm referring to the Central Bank, used the productive issue, that is, not as they do now, financing the budget deficit, and the emission in the form of loans to the real sector for specific projects.

April 12, 2013
By Brian Rice
KNOXVILLE, Tenn.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn.-- As a Super Bowl-winning quarterback and pitchman for various corporate partners, Peyton Manning has become one of the most recognizable sports figures in the world.
But as a two-time alumni and multi-time honoree, the pitches he makes as a public face of his school - where he just so happened to have played a little football - hold a place in his heart as special as the time he spent here.
"Tennessee had such a huge impact on my life," Manning said while in town as the keynote speaker at the 2013 Tennessee Football Coaches' Clinic. "I had a wonderful four years here at the University of Tennessee. A big reason why I stayed here my senior year is I really wanted one more year of college experience. Obviously there's been a lot of changes from the time since I've been gone. But it's still the University of Tennessee and it's still Volunteer pride and I'm a huge fan of those."
Tennessee head coach Butch Jones said having Manning back as the draw for his inaugural chance to connect on-campus with high school coaches from around the region was a no-brainer.
"Peyton means so much to us and our football program, recruiting and everything we're doing here as we lay it brick by brick," Jones said. "We love him and we're very proud of him."
Jones and Manning posed for photos with a pair of literal bricks, a photo op that Jones has encouraged fans and alumni from all over the country to engage in and to send those photos along to his ever-popular Twitter account. The pair spent over an hour together taking football on Thursday night before Manning addressed the Volunteer team Friday morning and took questions from the players.
"I think it's an exciting time for Tennessee Football," Manning said of Jones' philosophy, including the "Brick by Brick" campaign. "People need to stay committed to it, stay patient with it because it's not going to happen overnight. This is a job he wanted and he wants to stay and wants to retire here. Those are the type of people we want here at Tennessee, people that are all in Tennessee Vol, and I can tell he is that, and that's really encouraging."
Manning and Jones first connected in December, before Jones was even a candidate for the Tennessee job. But Manning wanted to make it very clear that a call at the prompting of his boss, John Elway, on the positive attributes of the state of Colorado related to another search wasn't a recruiting pitch for another school.
"When the boss asks you to make a phone call, you have to make a phone call," Manning said of Elway's request on behalf of a friend involved in the search at the University of Colorado. "I recruit for one school and one school only, the University of Tennessee. Once, obviously Butch was in consideration for the University of Tennessee, I really feel we got lucky. I really feel we were fortunate to land Butch Jones. I really do. I think he's going to be a huge difference for this program and I think we're fortunate to have him. I'm glad you asked me that because I'm a Tennessee Vol all the way, I can assure you."

In this section:
First Pres has 2 verses that guide our overall approach to service:
Psalm 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God." We first must encounter and continually return to the healing power of God's love for us before we act.
Micah 6:8 "He has shown all you people what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." God expects that we will participate in acts of justice: personally involving ourselves in alleviating and eliminating suffering, especially among the poor, oppressed, and most vulnerable populations.
