Top 15 Tax Deductions for Landlords
Top 15 Tax Deductions for Landlords
Paying taxes isn't fun for most business people, but it is a necessary or compulsory part of life. As a landlord, paying your taxes doesn't have to be a bitter pill to swallow, because federal law allows you to take advantage of a number of tax deductions on your rental income. This article seeks to explore some of the top fifteen tax deductions you could benefit from as a landlord.
Taking advantage of these deductions could make the difference between gaining a sizeable amount of income on your rental property, and losing it. There are some rules every landlord has to follow if they want to take advantage of these deductions, the crucial one being that you can only deduct necessary and ordinary expenses.
An ordinary expense is one that is accepted and common in your industry, such as paying contractors to repair a leaking roof. On the other hand, an expense is deemed necessary if it is appropriate and helpful in your line of business, such as advertising your premises so as to get tenants. It is important to keep proper and detailed records of all your expenses concerning your rental property, so as to make the deduction claim and process seamless. Below is an elaborative list of the deductions you can make as a landlord:
1) Depreciation of Assets
Depreciation of assets refers to the things that you have purchased for business purposes, which depreciate over time and whose use goes beyond the current tax year. There are three major types of costs that you can depreciate, these include:
• The value of the property (not the land, as land appreciates in value over time)
• The cost of any improvements done on the property such as replacing worn out carpets, countertops, roofs, appliances and more.
• Equipment, automobiles, laptops, and computers for business use.
These expenses are not deducted in a single year. They are spread over multiple years.
2) Interest
One of the biggest deductible expense you can make as a landlord is on any interest you accrue because of a loan or any other expense related to the rental property. For instance, if you took out a mortgage or loan on the property, then you can deduct the interest accrued on the loan/mortgage when filling your property's tax returns. You can also make deductions on the interest accrued on your credit cards as a result of making payments related to improving or repairing the property.
3) Repairs
Repairs are a necessary part of owning a rental property, because "things will always break." Repairs help landlords keep their premises in good working condition, they are, therefore, deductible. Examples of repairs that can be deducted when paying tax include:
• Air Conditioning Repair
• Painting
• Fixture Repairs
• Incidentals that are related to a repair
• Plumbing Repairs
• Labor Costs and Contractor fees
4) Travel Expenses
Both long distance and local travel expenses that are business related are deductible. For instance, if you use an automobile to travel to your premises regularly then the cost of maintaining the vehicle, the cost of gasoline and parking fees are deductible. If you use public transportation then you can deduct these expenses. On the other hand, if you have to travel by air you can deduct the cost of your air tickets.
5) Legal and Professional Fees
You can also deduct the amount of fees you pay for professional or legal advice/work. These include real estate agent fees, attorney fees, accountant fees, and the fees you pay other to professional advisors, such as structural engineers.
6) Insurance
All insurance premium payments you make towards securing your business premises are tax-deductible, such as:
• Fire/ Liability and Damage Insurance
• Theft Insurance
• General Liability Insurance
• Flood Insurance Riders
• Homeowners Insurance
• Personal Umbrella Insurance
• Mortgage Insurance Premiums
• Workers' Compensation Insurance
7) Management Fees
Managing your property can be quite a challenging task. For this reason, most landlords usually hire property managers or on-site manager to assist them: you are allowed to deduct these expenses, as well as those of other employees.
8) Commissions
As a landlord, you will sometimes be required to pay fees to tenants or managers for referring potential residents to hire out your premises. The IRS recognizes these commissions as being deductible.
9) Office/Operating Expenses
As a landlord, you need somewhere to keep your documents, records and even work. Any commercial space you use concerning your property can be deducted. If you work at your home office, then you can deduct square footage. You should also deduct any other operational expense, such as:
• Pencils, Pens, and Staples
• Ink & Printer Paper
• Legal Forms
• Phone Bills
10) Advertising
Some landlords use advertising as a way of getting their property occupied fast. All the different types of advertising costs can be deducted, so whether you use Craigslist, signs, and banners, online ads or newspapers to advertise include these costs in your tax deductions.
11) Maintenance costs
Maintenance is not the same as repairs. Unlike when doing repairs, you are not fixing any broken thing or item when doing maintenance. For instance, the lawn has to be regularly maintained by cutting grass, but the lawn does not break. Other types of maintenance costs include:
• Pest control and treatment
• Homeowner Association Fees
• Light Bulbs
• Landscaping and Tree Trimming
• Smoke Detector Batteries
• Pool Maintenance
• Janitorial Items
• HVAC Filters
12) Casualty and Theft Losses
If you happen to lose rental income because your property has been damaged or destroyed, then you can make a tax deduction on part of or all of your loss. Loses that occur all of a sudden as a result of flooding, fire or some other unfortunate occurrence, are regarded as being casualty losses. You can also deduct items lost as a result of theft.
13) Utilities
The costs you incur in services can be deducted when making your rental income tax returns. If your tenants happen to reimburse you for paying a utility expense, you can still make a deduction. You will, however, have to claim the reimbursement made as income. Deductible utility expenses include:
• Water & Sewer
• Gas
• Electricity
• Trash & Recycling
• Heating Oil
14) Start-up Expenses
A start-up expense is incurred even before a business has commenced. These costs are deductible, but they cannot be deducted in a single year because a start-up expense is still a capital expense (a cost that will benefit you for years and no just one year). $5000 is the maximum startup deduction you can make in the first year.
15) Passive Activity loss
Because you earn money from your real estate venture, it is regarded as a passive activity, in which losses incurred in this activity are deductible by up to $25,000 (special allowance). However, a landlord must actively participate in the real estate business to qualify for the passive activity loss deduction. For instance, you must be actively involved in management decisions including repair and maintenance decisions. You must also have at least 10% interest in the rental property, to qualify for this deduction.
One of the aspects that make's the real estate industry quite lucrative is the income you can make from your property. The other lucrative aspect of this industry is the various tax deductions you can claim such as maintenance and repair fees, employee payments, stat up expense and more. It is important to be as accurate as possible when making these deductions to avoid encountering any problems with the IRS. Where possible, keep some form of record such as a receipt for evidence.

The British were once a powerful imperialising nation. They colonized most of Asia, Australia, North America, and some parts of Africa. By colonizing these nations, they brought with them their ideas, culture, and traditions. They left traces of their culture, infusing it with those that they had colonized. Their influences are so large that many former colonies still follow traditional English culture – afternoon tea.
But of course, with a little twist. One of these colonized nations is Malaysia. Malaysia is home to 29.72 million (as of 2013) with 14 states. It doesn't matter which part of the country you're from, at around 3-5 PM, you'll be hankering for something sweet to munch on before dinner.
In this article, you'll be able to make your own typical Malaysian teatime classics at home! Presenting to you, jemput-jemput pisang and teh tarik, the epitome of classic Malaysian teatime delicacy. It is essentially mashed banana fritters and aerated milk tea, respectively.
Simple and quick to make, these classics are perfect after a long and tiring day. These soft banana fritters melt in your mouth as you wash it down with creamy, frothy tea. Hints of nutty, gritty coconut coupled with the sweetness of the banana just hits the right spot as wafts of milky tea float into your nostrils. The sweetness of the banana compliments the milky and slightly bitter taste of the tea, making it the perfect pair. What are you waiting for? Read on for the recipe!
Jemput-Jemput Pisang (Mashed banana fritters)
You will need:
- 4 ripe bananas
- 2 tablespoons sugar OR 1 tablespoon of sweet condensed milk
- 4 – 6 tablespoons of flour
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- 2 – 3 tablespoons of desiccated coconut OR instant oats
- oil for frying
*This recipe makes roughly 15-25 pieces (depending on how much you spoon into the hot oil)
- Mash the bananas then combine with sugar/condensed milk. Set aside.
- Mix flour and salt together. Combine the dry ingredients with the wet. Make sure the batter is lumpy but not too thick.
- Then slowly combine the desiccated coconut/oats into the batter, gently mixing. (The smell of banana and coconut/oats should be water your mouth right about now.)
- Heat the oil on medium (enough to deep fry). Take tablespoons of the batter and place them into the hot oil
- Place a sheet of tissue paper or paper towel to soak up the excess oil.
- Turn the fritters around and remove them from the oil onto the paper towel once they're golden brown on all sides.
That's half of the adventure done! Now onto the next:
Teh Tarik (Milk tea)
You will need:
- 3 – 4 tablespoons loose leaf tea PR 3 tea bags (black tea preferably)
- sugar
- evaporated milk/sweet condensed milk
*This recipe makes 1 mug
- Boil 500 mL of water
- Add the loose leaf tea
- Let it come to a boil. Reduce the heat and let the mixture continue to boil for about 10 – 12 minutes until the colour turns very dark
- Take it off the heat.
- If using loose tea, put it through the strainer
- If using tea bags, let them sit for a few seconds before removing
- To sweeten:
- Combine 2 – 3 teaspoons of evaporated milk and 1 teaspoon of sugar (add more sugar to taste)
- Put in a teaspoon of sweet condensed milk into the tea, mix then taste. It is recommended to taste the tea each time a teaspoon of condensed milk is used as it is extremely sweet. Too much condensed milk and the tea will lose its flavour, too little and the tea will be too bitter.
- The colour of the tea should resemble golden mocha once it is mixed properly with a good amount of milk and/or sugar.
If you would like to get the authentic Malaysian taste of teh tarik, try "pulling" it by pouring the tea back and forth repeatedly between two mugs. This cools it and thoroughly mixes the tea with the milk. It also produces amazing bubbly froth 😉
- You could also add spices like ginger and cardamom into the drink to give it an extra kick.
- Slightly crack 1 – 2 cardamom pods and drop them into the tea pot after it slowly starts boiling with the tea leaves or tea bags. Cardamom can be quite overpowering so it really depends on your liking.
- You can grate half an inch of ginger into the boiling tea or you could cut thin slices. You could always add extra if you're one for spices and heat! Ginger has a long been used to relieve digestive problems like nausea, muscle pain and soreness, and also chronic indigestion.
The dusky scent of afternoon tea wafts into your nostrils. Bite into a delicately crunchy fritter and let the sweetness of the banana along with the gritty texture of coconut flood your mouth. Wash it all down with the warm tea, feeling it loosen your tense body after an exhausting day. Enjoy these classics while chilling in front of the TV watching your favourite shows or journaling on the patio. Or just in silence because the food speaks for itself.
Leave a comment and tell us how your Malaysian teatime experience went!

Gate runner. It sounds like the title to this summer's biggest feature film, but the reality is the only high speed chase in this block buster is the chase for data on a runaway container.
With an increase in container volume at West Coast ports at the end of the year, we saw a corresponding increase in dwell times and demurrage fees for the containers we're tracking on our platform.
Over the past month, we've seen an increase in average dwell times and demurrage fees for containers coming through West Coast ports.
Anyone who has been impacted by increasing container volumes and congestion at terminals understands first-hand the need for improvements in moving cargo more efficiently through ports.
The Port of Oakland is the fifth busiest container port in the U.S., and handles 99% of all containerized goods in Northern California. Ships large enough to carry up to 18,000 containers call at the port, and are so long that they could nearly span the entire width of the Oakland...
Hurricane season officially lasts through November 30. If you're shipping cargo, are you prepared?
Regardless of whether you're importing a few hundred containers into the Los Angeles area, or you're importing thousands of containers into multiple regions across the US and Canada, tracking your cargo should be the easiest part of your job.
It's hurricane season, which can mean major disruptions to your supply chain (and your life, if you live in the path of a major storm). Several different agencies, from the US Coast Guard to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, issue warnings and advisories about major...
When you have a single source for information, what happens when you lose that connection? If you're moving millions of dollars worth of cargo, the answer to that question can be terrifying.

The Poconos
Aug 4, 2013
|Since we came into Saugertie's on the NY Thruway (toll road) we figured we would leave on it. Our intention was to take the thruway to I84 west. Turns out they do not interchange thruways and interstate highways, not even a sign to exit. Needless to say we missed the I84 exit did not realize until we were well down the road. We stopped at a service area to check the best solution and decided on continuing to I287 to New Jersey and I80 to Pennsylvania. New Jersey wasn't in the plan. What's another state? That route took us within 25 miles of New York city and 12 miles from downtown Newark, NJ. You cannot believe the traffic coming out of the city on a Saturday morning. Fortunately we were going the other way.
Once in Pennsylvania, we took the first exit and drove about 4 miles to our campground for the next 3 nights. Mountain Vista Campground, very large wooded campground in Stroudsburg, Pa.
We will check out the area tomorrow. Not sure what the highlights are. We have a couple days to explore.

As specialists in the design and delivery of complex audio and video solutions, we were able to execute a breathtaking event featuring high tech projection artwork effects and visuals. Utilising the d3 4×4 Pro, capable of driving up to 16 HD projectors or LED processors from a single server unit, we seamlessly managed the complex visuals. Brought to life by the Epson EB LU25000 – the top spec 25,000-lumens projector – along with InfiLED ER5.9 and Unilumin 2.5 ultra-high definition displays, the results were spectacular.
Danny Pearce, Commercial Director at Immersive AV, said, "We understand the importance of balancing aspirations & budget. Fusing the worlds of creative design & technology. The organisers entrusted us to produce a unique experiential event, which aligned with the VOXI brand. We didn't disappoint!"
Michael Robey, Executive Producer of FreemanXP, "Thank you for all you did for us on the VOXI launch last week. It was a pleasure working with you and your team; I was impressed by their professionalism, and I appreciated your can-do, solution-focused approach, which got us out of more than one hole. It was a hugely successful event, due in large part to the efforts of you guys, so again, many thanks."

Sun is from David's forthcoming Kindness Of Bearer EP.
Episode 132: Lele Sacchi's Baggy Mix
Funny how time flies. Seems like yesterday that we were touring with Nightplane and Nick Monaco for the launch of Soul Clap Records. Hard to believe that was almost 4 years ago! But it was at a dinner during that tour that one of our biggest Italian supporters, Lele Sacchi, told us how much Nightplane's EP (the first release on our label) reminded him of the UK "baggy" movement of the late 80's to early 90's. Then he promised us he would make us a mix of the music for The Adventures. Well here we are, years down the line and he's finally sent us the mix. It was a major labor of love and we're excited to share it with you, The Infamous Baggy Mix…
Lele's Words:
When at a dinner with Eli, Charlie and some other Crew Lovers in Milan a couple of years ago we ended up chatting about the so called 'baggy' music scene (those typical romantic subjects of DJ dinners…) I noticed that I was the only one old and european enough to remember it first hand!
This eventually lead to this mix here that showcases not only what should really be considered the baggy/Madchester original sound but some other bits of the crossover sound between indie and dance cultures that permeated mostly the UK scene between 1988 and 1992 (with a big influence of the Italian house scene of the era, here represented by TC) and that helped so many kids like myself with a punky/alternative rock background understand 'groove' and DJ culture (I still remember like it was yesterday a very early 90's (1991?) Charlatans show where girls were properly dancing… never saw that before at an indie band live gig! And you know what effect girls dancing can have on the weak mind of a 16 years old)
I could have made an 'Andy Weatherall mixes' only choice for such he has been pivotal to pioneer that crossover of sounds, but tried to get a mix of some of the obvious (but how can you escape choosing Primals and Roses on this sound?) and some obscure or rare stuff that made myself happy as a teenager back then before deciding that actually I had to try to do my best not to get a proper job and live off music. Which, at the end of the day, is the best definition of being a DJ.

One of today's readings is an awesome chunk of Paul's letter to the Church in Rome. Here's part of it:
For as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another. We have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us: prophecy, in proportion to faith; ministry, in ministering; the teacher, in teaching; the exhorter, in exhortation; the giver, in generosity; the leader, in diligence; the compassionate, in cheerfulness. (Romans 12:4-8, NRSV)
What's really interesting to me about these few sentences is how one gift is not put over another. Generosity is not more important than teaching or exhortation, but they all come together to form the one body of Christ. See, God created us all a little differently so that we would need each other. (If you don't believe me, try scratching your own back sometime!)
The picture above is part of a quilt made for me when I left at St John's Lutheran Church. Notice that, although each has a different shape, size, and color, they all come together to form one complete project. So it is with the body of Christ. We may all have a different shape, size, color, age, gender identity, income, passions, or gifts, but we are part of something bigger than ourselves. And all of us, with all our gifts, quirks, and differences, can be the presence of Christ in a hurting world.
So share your gifts – even if it's just to scratch someone's back.

Family Law is a unique subject that is only concerned with people, i.e., family members, rather than other matters such as those related to financial or property. It revolves around the law and practices addressing every concern related to parenting when a couple decides to divorce or separate. This also includes issues related to child adoption and custody. For the past couple of years, an increasing number of students have been enrolling in this course due to its growth in scope and importance in communities. This field of study aims to provide these learners with a strong theoretical knowledge, which will enable them to solve practical issues when engaging in family matters.
To attain this knowledge and become a good Lawyer, you have to be well-versed with all the concepts in Family Law. There are a variety of practices, legal formalities, and traditions that need to be understood and learned thoroughly by every Law student. But, because this subject has a vast syllabus, students often find it uneasy to grab some of its trickiest topics, which are essential for writing assignments. If you also are studying MLL408 Family Law, then you should be familiar with the syllabus. One of the most challenging topics in this field is Memorandum of advice, where most students get stuck and have to ask for assistance for their Family Law assignments.
Memorandum of Advice
Before we dig in, let us understand what it is all about. A Memo or Memorandum of Advice is a set of legal communications which a senior Law practitioner uses to address issues related to family issues. As a Law student, you will be required to write a Memo which you will use within this subject practice. A reason why so many students find it a challenging task is because that they are unaware of how to go about it. The main focus of this blog is to provide you with an understanding of some of the important terms that are frequently used in this type of legal communication.
Three Most Important Terminologies Related to a Memo
- Family Law Act, 1975: More commonly known as FLA by the legal practitioners, this act was introduced as a main legislation in Australia that deals only with issues related to divorce and financial maintenance for children after separation or divorce of couples.
- Division of assets and liabilities: This is an important part of a Memo, which states that in a divorce, both assets and liabilities shall be divided in a way that is fair for both the parties. This includes both marital as well as non-marital property. For most students, such division is the most complicated area of this subject.
- Sole Parental and responsibility: Another important part of Family Law Act, it emphasises that one of the parents may be granted sole parental responsibility under certain conditions. For example, the court decides that the mother gets the sole responsibility of both parent's daughter. Their child will live permanently with her and shall spend time with her father on the days decided by the court. This also includes those decisions related to their child's education, health, well-being, living arrangements, and marriage.
My Assignment Services Provides Family Law Assignment Help
There are more terms and concepts which you may be unable to understand easily because of their complexities. My Assignment Services has a team of experts that can assist you by providing exceptionally-written Family Law assignments to your doorstep. Our services are considered to be the most affordable and reliable in Australia.

|Don't let this picture fool you. Winter has arrived. And none of us are smiling about it!
Squeek, grrrr, plop, swoooooosh, thud thud... this symphony of creaks, groans, and bangs alerts us to the winds whipping outside. Today marks day three of sustained 25-30 mph winds. I'm talking around the clock wind, gusty cold Northern wind, wind that has turned our sink drains into miniature ice blowers as it pushes itself anyway it can into our rocking and squeaking home. Living here, like this, we are aware of every nuance of both the wind and water. Every howl, every roll, every jingle of glass bumping against glass is identified. We are the wind, we are the boat and we are the water. This intimacy with nature, even when She is not very nice, is awesome.
(Billy, the cat, disagrees with the above statement.)
In these conditions all work grinds to a halt. So we watch movies, read, cook, play music, draw, whatever. I mention this, because recently we saw a great video called Hold Fast . If you have about an hour check out these crusty-punk kids and their boat appropriately named Pestilence. Its a smart, witty, insightful and really really stooopid adventure.

Why We Left Christian Fellowship Ministries (continued)
by Al & Dee Mac
Al - March 1, 2006 - Changes and such. We've been busy with some stuff (work/school/selling the house) that kept us from getting the forums back up, but since spring break is next week, I'll have time to finally take care of that. I'll try sending out a bulk email to everybody that's registered on the message board once it's up and running again. Please make sure you read the rules on the Forum page to see what's different.
I'm finally back in school again after being absent for a year, and Dee is still full-time as well. We might actually graduate in the next year or so - I guess we're a bit behind schedule (both of us should have finished our 4-year degrees about a decade ago), but better late than never, right?
As an interesting aside, the pastor of the church that "suggested" we should remove information about him from the forums (before he had to take a brother before the law, you see) has found himself in the local news. Maybe I'll post some more about this later...it sounds to me like he may have a few things in common with good old LRD. But we'll let the judge and/or jury figure that one out.

Planes TV "European Airshows" 2011 DVD illustrated with editor's own pictures
It is worth reminding how much the world airshow scene has changed during for the last two decades.
Planes TV have released their latest "European Airshows 2011" DVD. This comes well right after my 2011 airshow review publication on http://www.sky-lens.com/articles-airshows-europe.php?recordID=112 . In their 2011 release, Planes TV includes little seen display actors as much as military events. Obviously TV team had to select a few displays in each event only, so as to limit the full product to the resulting two hours and nine minutes program.
Though not a European display as such the UAE Al Ain airshow launches the program. It sounds to be included for rarity. It is true that big teams don't cue to Al Ain anymore but it looks weird to discover that the UAE Air Force has a Mirage 2000-9 solo display, and also that some other "2000-9s" and F-16 Block.60 Desert Falcons, and Hawks perform as well at the event. Interestingly the show was took place a few months before "Al Fursan" national team was launched in the UAE. Though these words may go further than the DVD contents, it is worth reminding again how much the world airshow scene has changed during for the last two decades. We witnessed the raise of airshows in the Middle and Far Easts. Al Ain and Bahrain are now regulars. The "young" Saudi Hawks team is also on show in that Al Ain 2011 sequence, and a strange selection of aerobatics actors and airplanes prooves that UAE event is foremost a civilian sports and aerobatics extravaganza, mixing airplanes with firewalls and pop acts, as only North American events managed to do only ten years ago...
Turkey is also a new actor in the airshow circuit. The Izmir "100th Anniversary of the Turkish Air Force" was one of the very best "European" airshows in 2011. Apart from flypasts performed by the many types from all the Turkish Air Force airplanes and helicopters, including T-38 talons and rare F-4 Phantoms.., the F-16 Soloturk was introduced for a first season, and hopefully not the last. The event introduced the Pakistan Air Force JF-17 Thunder and an F-16 solo near these shores. Did you know there was an F-16 display in the Pakistan Air Force ?.... A rare IAR-99 Soim from the Romanian air Force also flew. All this is worth watching with "hot" summer and sunny shots in the DVD, also mixing Croatia's Krila Oluje, and the USAF Thunderbirds who never flew again into such a pure blue sky during the rest of their 2011 European tour. Those who attended the showered Turku airshow with the Thunderbirds in Finland a few weeks after Izmir, will understand what I mean.
Most sequences in the DVD are about all categories of airshows in Europe. It leaves a proof there is more flying items diversity in Europe, than there is in other continent's airshows, even though proper military display items in Europe face crisis due to deep cuts in defense budgets. Included in the program are the Paris Air show, MAKS 2011 in Moscow, BIAF 2011 in Plovdiv, Luchtmachtdagen 2011 in Leeuwarden, Sanicole Airshow in Hechtel, and Festa al Cel in Barcelona. Most items are rare and unusual such as the Bulgarian Air Force Cougar, Mil Mi-17, PC-9, Su-25, MiG-21, C-27 J, and MiG-29 in the Plovdiv event. But there may be too many other such examples to watch and to summarize well the content.
Yes, weather at Izmir was hot and dry, but this contrasted much with the Leeuwarden airshow blessed with rain, as seen later in the program. But rain in Friesland did not mean that the resulting video would look catastrophic. Really the sky was awfully dark over Leeuwarden on show day number two, buts jets were shot with as results, some of the best action close-ups I have seen in airshow DVDs. So worth seeing closely are a AMI Typhoon, a Polish Air Force MiG-29, and an Ilmavoimat F-18 C Hornet, all of them pulling tight turns with heavy Gs and generating long reheat orange flames.
Cherry on the cake is MAKS with short extracts showing only a Sukhoi T-50 duo performance. Strangely these Russian 5th Gen. jetfighter stealth airplanes are the only items featured in that MAKS part, and perhaps it looks surprising for us to go straight to another airshow, after that short sequence near Moscow. But quantity of unusual sequences is so large to select and include in the whole film, that we understand how producers faced difficult choices to deal with to deliver no less than 2 hours of little seen materials covering a wide audience. Producers are successful with that task and this DVD deserves to be watched. And always remember to have a look in previous years "European Airhows" videos as a complement to that "European Airshows 2011" latest DVD.

After my bittersweet reaction towards Pasolini's TRILOGY OF LIFE (1971-1974), I tend to be a little heedful to wade into his canon, so not until vaguely 6 years after, I find a chance to watch his another work of indecipherable philosophy, THEOREM, which is introduced by a wobbly-shot interview in front of a factory and then segues with a silent canto under sepia tint, flickeringly introduces the family members of the story to be told.
The father (Girotti) is the factory owner, with his wife (Mangano), daughter (Wiazemsky), son (Soublette) and the maid (Betty) lives in a stately mansion, one day, arrives a young visitor (Stamp), whose occult charisma and amiable endowment are too glaring to resist, and one after another he seduces all the family members (starts with the maid and ends with the patriarch), then he leaves, but his benedictory actions precipitate the ripple effects which alter everyone's mindset.
The maid suddenly acquires an ability to cure and even conducts Ascension-like behavior; the daughter suffers from lovesickness and the son gets burgeoning inspiration for his art but also feels being enfettered; the matriarch constantly scouts out young boys for carnal pleasure and the patriarch starts to haunt himself with utter nudism. It's hard to conceive what's behind all these esoteric metaphysics after just watched the film once, but it is hardly an engaging one to invite immediate revisiting.
To dissect a Pasolini's film, its religious overtones are the elephant in the room, is Stamp the God himself or a godsend messenger to endow this quintet with his pansexuality? Another contentious part is how to read the aftermath? Among those five people, only the maid belongs to a lower class, but it is her, seems to possess a supernatural gift eventually, while the bourgeois family is entrapped in respective shackles and the ending shows no way out for any of them. It can be interpreted as a lash on the decaying middle class, only the poor and the proletarians are the beneficiaries from God's gift.
Morricone's accompanying score alters from eerie ambient to rich concerto, plus Mozart's Requiem, stratifies the film's mythical layers of causes and effects. Stamp's sex appeal has been magnified to the maximum with a contentious camera faithfully captures his congeniality and deadly smile. Betty is a standout among the recipients, gives an intent thousand-yard stare in her hallowed supremacy. By comparison bigger names like Mangano and Girotti never fully register too much into their slightly hollow revelations, maybe it is all intentionally disposed, and Pasolini remains to be an ineffaceable enigma to me.

Review: Don't Ever Get Old by Daniel Friedman
Not many novels feature an eighty seven year old geriatric as their central character, yes you read that right 87!, so you know right from the start this is going to be a little bit different to the majority of crime & mystery novels out there.
Buck Schatz is a Jewish ex-soldier from WW II that subsequently worked as a homicide detective for the Memphis police department that is pointed in the direction of a former Nazi concentration camp guard long thought dead by a former army colleague (you would call him an army buddy if not for the fact that they hated each other).
Wallace was hooked up to an IV, a heart monitor and something I thought might be a dialysis machine. He had a tube in his nose. His skin had taken on a waxy yellow pallor and the whites of his eyes were brownish and filmy. His breath came in slow rasps and smelled like disease. He looked horrible. "You look good, Jimmy," I said. "You'll beat this yet." He let out a rattling cough. "Reckon not, Buck. I suppose I'm not too long for this world." He waved a feeble hand, a mostly unsuccessful attempt at a dramatic gesture. "I wish things were different," I said, which meant that I wished Jim had been kind enough to die without bothering me about it.
Of course, when you have the likes of Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Ayatollah Ali Khamenei saying Israel's existence is an "insult to all humanity" and a "cancerous tumour that must be wiped out" it does give you food for thought as to whether we have really progressed as far as we thought from those dark days so you will be rooting for them as they embark on their quest to find this Nazi.
A death bed confession reveals that his erstwhile colleague had let the Nazi in question through a checkpoint in exchange for gold but now belatedly regrets not telling Buck, who had of course suffered grievously at his hands, sooner. Back story reveals he was a hotshot detective but that he did have a way of alienating people which ultimately puts paid to any hope of assistance from current members of the police department and also is maybe why his own grandson describes him as an "ornery, senile, half-crazy old f*ck."
Cue a long cast of characters all conniving to get their hands on the Nazi gold covering his son-in-law, his gambling addicted pastor, the pastor's wife, the police detective, the former employee of the Wiesenthal centre not to mention the heavy from the casino seeking to cover the good pastor's debts. It doesn't take long in this kind of situation for the bodies to start piling up nor for Buck and his grandson to start attracting suspicion even though as he is suffering from many ailments he is quite infirm and not able to wield his gun with quite the same abandon as he did when he was on the police force. Indeed as we are frequently reminded paranoia is an early symptom of dementia in the elderly but what do you do when you are actually being followed and people wind up dead soon after meeting you?
We were long on paranoia and had no evidence of anything. My doctor had told me paranoia was an early symptom of dementia in the elderly.
Throughout the novel we can rely on the pure contrariness of Buck to lighten the mood.
Rose recently made me give a family friend, a heavyset lady who doesn't drive anymore, a ride to her doctor's office. When this woman climbed into my Buick, the whole passenger's side of the car sank toward the pavement. Which is probably why GM went into Chapter 11.
"We haven't got any ashtrays, sir, because people don't smoke in our restaurant." I took a long drag on my Lucky Strike, disproving his contention.
One of the few books where I have laughed out loud on public transport – not a particularly good idea incidentally, people do seem to consider you a bit strange. A pleasant light hearted read that nonetheless prevented me from successfully guessing the identity of the murderer until it was revealed. My rating is 9 out of 10. You can always check out this excerpt if you're interested. It received starred reviews from the major trade review publications.

I found and fixed yet another bug (a crasher) in it only a few days ago (RHBZ#914931). You'd have thought we would have worked out all the bugs in it after 5 years, but apparently not ...

Kawasaki z900RS Café.
If you've all been paying attention you'll know we've recently had the absolute pleasure of playing with the 2018 Kawasaki z900RS? Well here's its sibling, the posh named z900RS Café, oooh darling. Yes it is a bit snobbish that and Kawasaki royalty named it, not a retro bike but a…. wait for it – Retro Sport, bet that didn't take long to think up.
So yes we have another form of retro motorbike to add to the ever-growing list from all manufacturers. We've even heard rumors that Suzuki are also fiddling with a retro styled GS1000. My advice to all in the industry is to keep them coming because all around the world and indeed here in SA, riders are buying them, so why not?
Anyway enough of this retro promo', what is this Mean Green Coffee Machine all about? See what I did there with the amalgamation of Coffee and Café, pure genius.
Possibly not, but what IS a stroke of genius are these two new Kawasaki z900RSs because both are tremendous on every count. Exemplary build quality, arguably the best I've come across on any Kawasaki, is the big one for me. Then add into the retro equation a gorgeous new motor, superb KYB suspension and the unforgettable desirability factor and you might see why I'm so obsessed with the pair?
I say new motor, which it is I suppose but it is derived from the 'modern' styled z900 from last year. The RS has revised cylinder heads, camshafts, pistons and air box, clipping the power from 125hp to 110hp with more claimed torque low down. So with a quick rip on the Dynojet dyno we discovered it does indeed make more torque and horsepower until 7,000rpm where the higher state of tune z900 takes over. Interestingly the RS has two separate throttle valves inside the oval shaped 36mm Keihin bodies, using two separate ECUs. Maybe something to brag about but I'm sure an original 1975 z900 owner will develop the same expression as if you tried to sell him a melted igloo in a bottle, once informed.
They would be impressed if they rode this bike though because the 948cc engine is so smooth in its power delivery it feels a bit Rolls/Bentley like. No big power jumps just linear creaminess all the way to the redline, which by then you're dipping into the little handlebar mounted fairing in Eddie Lawson mode. If you don't know who that is visit the 'Net and you'll see where Kawasaki obtained the styling on RS Cafe and the matching Vintage Lime Green colour scheme. So while the naked RS version resembles more of the bike from the mid seventies this 'green' style only came around after 1980, still it's a classic right?
Certainly is and the only differences between the Café and naked RS are the bikini fairing (as they were called in the 80s), green paint, racy seat and handlebars. Now I adore this bike and it's brother but who on earth put these 'bars on the Café? Probably designed and fitted after three litres of sake wine because they're horrid. The rest of the bike is so well made that these wrong shaped and cheap looking 'bars shouldn't be there, but that's a quick few hundred rand fix. Personally, I'd make them more level like the Eddie Lawson replica from the early eighties, the Café would be more comfortable then as well.
But the seat is super soft, which I liked instead of the normal 'mouse mat' that we seem to have forced on us today. In fact the whole bike seems to be soft and cuddly and gives the rider a mellow feeling when in the saddle and because of that it's easy to fall in love. For that emotional reason I think a new owner will never sell this bike like modern stuff after a year or so. The RS Café is a 'keeper' that will never age or lose its vintage attraction, don't you agree?
It's not all about vintage bits though because the RS Cafe does carry some modern touches, like traction control (1,2 and off), ABS and a slipper-clutch. Apparently, it also has some form of an economical riding indicator, which I never saw or needed to see thank you.
Things I weren't too keen to see as well were cast wheels instead of spokes, awful 2018 thin and long LED indicators, which should be round and orange like the '75 z900 had. Once riding though you see none of this and instead revel in those elegant analogue clocks, very nice and classy.
The whole bike oozes class in every respect and it rides as well as it looks. Super-light clutch action lets you get into the big torque curve from as little as 2,000rpm, so town riding is easy to say the least. But what did impress me was the way it turns and handles hiding the 215kg mass commendably. It does have that café racer feel as you carve through your favorite twisty bits and those big radial brakes have super bike stopping power. Twist this all together with splendid suspension and you have quite an entertaining package to play with, besides those irritating 'bars that is.
What isn't irritating is the price of R168,900, now that's a lot of Kawasaki heritage for that price and worth opening your wallet/purse for, some men do carry a purse, weirdo's.
So the choice is yours, RS or RS Café, I'd opt for the naked one because it's more like the original '75 z900, but either way you'll become a happy chappy, especially if you like coffee.

When I was required to write an "artist statement" it took a lot of soul searching to come up with the words. This had never occurred to me, that I had an " artist statement" in my vocabulary. The one that I came up with reads," Historically many artists have worked in multi-media, such as oils, watercolor, pastels. It is not an attempt, on my part, to be versatile that I also work in different mediums, but an intuitive decision that is made in relation to the subject matter. It is my choice to accept the challenge and, more than likely, to have a learning experience during the process. My life work was professional and art is a part of the enjoyable journey".
As stated, my life work was professional, I am a graduate of Roanoke Memorial School of Professional Nursing and still active in the Alumni Association. While working at the hospital I decided to take some art classes, so, I signed up for a watercolor/drawing class through Roanoke County Department of Recreation. This was several years ago, my sons were then teen agers, and we had a rather busy life, but I took the class and loved it. Ed Bordett was the instructor. After that I took classes at Virginia Western, then a class with Ruth Hamilton in her studio and again at Virginia Western Community College. There I had a class led by Vera Dickerson, and when she and Peyton Klein opened a school of art over the old Mish-Mish art store on Roanoke City Market area, I went there. My art experience has been through what is now called The Studio School. Through the instructors there, and the workshops they offer, I have gained an art education.
My work can be seen at 2nd Helping on Williamson Road, in Roanoke, and at Alleghany Arts and Crafts in Clifton Forge. We are fortunate to have several regional shows that enables us, as artists, to exhibit our work on a competitive basis, judged and juried shows, and I participate in these. To name a few, Sidewalk Art Show in June, held by Taubman Museum, Lynchburg Art Club in September, Bath County Association, Abingdon Art Association, Piedmont Art Association, League of Roanoke Artists. I have received awards and sales from several of these shows and it never ceases to amaze me. I am an artist member of Virginia Watercolor Society and League of Roanoke Artist, Past President.

Individuals with overweight/obesity and loss-of-control eating (LOC) may experience poorer outcomes from behavioural weight loss due to reactivity to internal (e.g., affective and physical) states that impact treatment adherence (e.g., dietary lapses). This study examined (a) whether the presence of LOC increased risk for dietary lapses and (b) the moderating role of LOC on the relation between internal states and dietary lapses.

Geithner Must Go
An early litmus test of Barack Obama's willingness to push policies to help the middle class in his second term — as promised ad nauseum throughout the campaign — will be whether or not he gives Treasury Secretary Geithner the sack.
That would send a small signal that things are different this time.
And it's the subtext of an article published today by the Washington Post on its front page today (Zachary A. Goldfarb, "Why has the U.S. recovery sputtered?"), which describes Geithner's lethargic and pessimistic response to initiatives proposed by "seven of the world's top economists," gathered by the President at the White House. Geithner's response was to preemptively blame an obdurate Congress. Aside from failing to even try to find ways to put the obstinate House on the defensive by forging broad support among homeowners — Obama operatives told their supporters they would mobilize them to push popular reforms post-election (and there are certainly few better ways to build upon one of the specific points of protest that came out of the Occupy movement), he could at least recognize that there are ways to support similar proposals at the Fed, as William Greider points out in The Nation.
This is moral and political cowardice at its worst, especially now that Obama has postponed taking any immediate action to address some of the other critical issues that face the nation that have fresh momentum (climate change, campaign finance reform, etc.).
Economic recovery, the president says, is his immediate priority. If so, then why keep a Treasury Secretary and sometime tennis partner who has so obviously shilled for Wall Street for the last four years, and is openly willing to demonstrate how prepared he is to put the brakes on any new policies the president may have, including one the president's first-term economic advisors told the Post is an obvious "missing link" in Obama's first term. Nearly 11 million American homeowners — over 20% still owe more than their properties are currently worth.
Christina D. Romer, Obama's former top economist told the Post there needs to be a bigger focus on reducing mortgage debt – i.e. principal reduction: "[W]e are likely going to need to help homeowners that are underwater…Many of these troubled loans will need to be renegotiated and the principal reduced if we are going to truly stabilize house prices and get a robust recovery going."
The Post does remind us that Obama has expanded programs to better tackle mortgage debt, announcing more federal funding to write down loans. But it's clearly not enough, and Romer and others "don't see the kind of aggressive approach that could make a big difference."
Perhaps the blame for the president's incremental, halting and timid approach to helping the bottom 20% cannot be placed entirely on Geithner. But it fits the pattern: As Ron Suskind reported in "Confidence Men," it was Geithner who ignored "the president's clear, unequivocal orders involving Citigroup…as a potential first step in a wider restructuring of the banking sector," slow-walking it into the garbage can while taxpayers kept pouring hundreds of billions to prop up the icon of financial deregulation and corporate arrogance.
Let's not forget that while Geithner's priority was to bail out Citigroup – the HUD's inspector general concluded after auditing the bank that it (and others) had defrauded U.S. taxpayers in handling of foreclosures on homes purchased with government-backed loans.
Coddling corporate criminals and "Country Club Sopranos" is just one of many pathetic patterns that suggest how little Obama steered the government away from the policies of his predecessor — but that's one that others besides Geithner (e,g, Eric Holder) should have to answer for.
The point is, if making the middle class whole is really the priority, then it's long past the point when Obama needs to send a clear signal that things will be different this time.
Obama can either toss out Geithner and start helping Main Street or risk going down as the president who — despite all the soaring rhetoric to the contrary — solidified the gross inequalities that Citi's analysts suggest are converting America into a "plutonomy."

EEI names Pappas associate director, announces organizational changes
March 11, 2011 - John Pappas has been named associate director of the Texas A&M Energy Engineering Institute (EEI), institute director Dr. Stephen A. Holditch announced recently.
"John has a solid grasp on the issues involving energy supply, demand and distribution," said Holditch. "With John's leadership, I expect EEI to become a major force in the development and deployment of Energy Technology globally."
Pappas, who holds a Master of Science degree in electrical engineering from the University of Texas, is also the Vestas director of the Texas A&M Wind Energy Center, the first center formed under the EEI. Pappas is a registered professional engineer and was previously employed as a principal investigator, program manager and director of business development at the Center for Electromechanics, one of the largest research institutes at UT-Austin.
Holditch also announced several other changes in the structure of the organization, including the appointment of Dr. Marcelo Laprea as assistant director, supply, and Mark M. Ellison as assistant director, corporate and government relations.
Laprea spent 24 years in academic positions as a faculty member of the petroleum engineering department at Universidad de Oriente in Puerto La Cruz, Venezuela. He also spent 13 years with petroleum consulting and service companies as an independent consultant. He was director of curriculum for the Network of Excellence in Training (NExT) for Schlumberger, Texas A&M University, University of Oklahoma and Heriot-Watt University prior to joining EEI. Laprea received his Master of Science and Ph.D. in petroleum engineering from Texas A&M.
Ellison previously held the position of director, corporate relations, for the Texas Engineering Experiment Station (TEES) and associate vice chancellor for economic development for The Texas A&M University System. He also served as director of the Texas Emerging Technology Fund for the office of Governor Rick Perry. Ellison received his Bachelor of Science degree in agriculture from Texas A&M.
The organizational changes are part of an effort to increase the EEI's profile within The Texas A&M System, the state of Texas and among industrial partners. Maintaining EEI's relevance by being in touch with industry needs is critical to the success of the institute. EEI's goal is to be the go-to place for industry's needs in fundamental research, applied research, demonstration and implementation.
EEI's offices are located in suite 710 of the Richardson Building on the Texas A&M University campus. More information is available at http://energyengineering.org or by calling 979-458-1644.
