Intense underground steam explosions that occurred during the crater formation process could be responsible for the central depressions present in these 'twin' craters, located on Thaumasia Planum, an elevated plateau that lies immediately to the south of Valles Marineris, the largest canyon in the Solar System.
Temperatures alternating between extreme heat and cold, electromagnetic radiation and weightlessness – environmental conditions prevailing in space are harsh. Nevertheless, satellite components and those of the International Space Station ISS and other systems must withstand these conditions and continue to function reliably. Within the national "On-Orbit-Verification"-(OOV)-Programme- the Deutsche Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) is testing the maturity of space technologies under real condtitions in their intended space environment. The core element of this programme is the small satellite TET-1 built by the prime contractor Kayser-Threde GmbH of Munich.
The new short-arm human centrifuge was installed in :envihab at DLR Cologne between late February and early March 2013. Installation of the 'heart of :envihab' lasted several weeks. We took advantage of this rare opportunity to take a closer look at the individual stages of the installation (with time-lapse video).
The National Space Symposium has been held annually in Colorado Springs, United States, for 28 years. DLR has been involved for much of this time, contributing aspects of its research and development, and progressing far beyond the role of an 'ordinary member'. A delegation from DLR attended this year's symposium, actively participating by giving talks and taking part in exhibitions.
Video, audio, links, and interactive images - you will only find these in the tablet version of the DLR Magazine. The Magazine app features multimedia content in addition to the print version's great articles and themes. You can get it from the App store or Google Play.
Terahertz Techniques, a textbook that deals with all aspects of terahertz technology, is now available. Heinz-Wilhelm Hübers is head of the Department of Experimental Planetary Physics at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) Institute of Planetary Research and a professor at the Technische Universität Berlin. Together with Erik Bründermann from the Ruhr University Bochum and Maurice Fitzgerald Kimmitt from the University of Essex, he is one of the three authors of the book published by Springer Verlag. The textbook is a coherent and didactically clearly structured text that communicates the basics as well as providing a comprehensive overview of the current state of scientific knowledge for students and researchers who wish to enter this interesting and rapidly developing field of research.
The latest issue of the DLR Magazine - now also for iPad and Android tablet computers.

SOURCE USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service
Deadline for 2013 is April 19
DAVIS, Calif., Feb. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- California agricultural producers who are certified organic or transitioning to organic production are invited to apply for technical and financial assistance through a national organic initiative administered by USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). Applications for this ranking period are due at NRCS offices by April 19, for funding consideration this fiscal year.
Over $3 million in special organic funding is available to eligible producers in California as part of the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). "Organic producers and those transitioning to organic have become more frequent visitors to our conservation offices in recent years," says Alan Forkey, NRCS Assistant State Conservationist for Farm Bill Programs in California. The 2008 Farm Bill included a special focus on assisting organic and transitioning producers, Forkey explained, and gradually the word has gotten out. "It is a great mutual opportunity for our conservationists to work more closely with this group with whom we share a strong sustainability ethic," added Forkey.
Organic producers can receive up to $20,000 per year or $80,000 over six years through the special organic EQIP funding. The assistance targets over two dozen core conservation practices, including conservation crop rotation, cover crop, nutrient management, pest management and prescribed grazing.
This is a nationwide initiative to provide assistance to certified organic producers as well as producers transitioning to organic production. Applicants must either have an organic system plan or certify they are working toward one. Organic producers also may apply for assistance under general EQIP. Interested producers are encouraged to contact their local NRCS Service Center. Contact information is available at http://offices.sc.egov.usda.gov/locator/app?state=CA.
NRCS has provided leadership in a partnership effort to help America's private land owners and managers conserve their soil, water and other natural resources since 1935. For more information about NRCS, visit www.nrcs.usda.gov.

If you want to use 'memcacheD' extention not 'memcache' (there are two diffrent extentions) for session control, you should pay attention to modify php.ini
Most web resource from google is based on memcache because It's earlier version than memcacheD. They will say as following
session.save_handler = memcache
session.save_path = "tcp://localhost:11211"
But it's not valid when it comes to memcacheD
you should modify php.ini like that
session.save_handler = memcached
session.save_path = "localhost:11211"
Look, there is no protocol indentifier
Sessions support
Memcached provides a custom session handler that can be used to store user sessions in memcache. A completely separate memcached instance is used for that internally, so you can use a different server pool if necessary. The session keys are stored under the prefix memc.sess.key., so be aware of this if you use the same server pool for sessions and generic caching.

If you are using the memcache class for session handling your key is the PHP session ID. This is different than when using the memcached class.
Example with memcache:
GET nphu2u8eo5niltfgdbc33ajb62
Example with memcached:
GET memc.sess.key.nphu2u8eo5niltfgdbc33ajb62
For memcached, the prefix is set in the config:
memcached.sess_prefix = "memc.sess.key."

While the previous poster has a point that Memcached can and will cleanup to make room for it's keys, the likelihood of active sessions (due to the likelihood that they will be written to again within 30 seconds) is fairly low provided you have your memory allocation properly alloted.

Land development company purchases part of Lakeside DFW
From staff reports
Realty Capital Management has announced the sale of 23.88 acres of land, in the northwest sector of the 150-acre Lakeside DFW development, to a local land development company for the first phase of single-family homes.
�We are very excited about this first sale which will kick off the long anticipated development of Lakeside DFW�, said Jimmy Archie, managing director of Realty Capital Management. �Attracting quality homebuilders to Lakeside is essential to the success of the project and we are very pleased to have American Legend Homes and Darling Homes as two of our single-family building partners,� he added.
American Legend Homes is owned by the Bright family, former owners of the Dallas Cowboys. Their homes at Lakeside will be priced from the low $400,000�s to the $600,000�s for four- and five-bedroom luxury homes with 2,400 square feet to well over 4,000 square feet. In 2012 American Legend Homes sold over 450 homes priced from the $200�s to over $1 million.
�American Legend Homes is opening three communities in Flower Mound in 2013 and we believe Lakeside will be the crown jewel,� said Forrest Hartley, Manager of Land Acquisitions for American Legend Homes.
Darling Homes was founded in 1987 when three brothers set out to create homes that would stand the test of time and delight homebuyers for years to come. Darling Homes is the recipient of numerous homebuilding awards and consistent, positive customer satisfaction surveys. The company currently builds in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and Greater Houston area. Darling Homes is a division of Taylor Morrison, the largest North American privately-owned homebuilder as reported by Hanley Wood based on�2011 revenues.
�When we received the master development plan for the project, we knew the Villa home design would be an ideal product for the unique vision that Lakeside represents,� said Larry Delzell, vice president of Land Acquisition, Darling Homes. �We are excited to be a part of this revitalization effort to build homes within a community-centric, mixed use project. We also believe our Villa home designs will provide residents all the amenities they expect in a traditional custom home design with less upkeep and the added bonus of being able to walk to work, shop or grab a meal.�
The multilevel, stand-alone Villas offer a variety of floor plan options, architectural details, lifestyle amenities, and energy-efficient packages. Darling Homes developed the villas-styled homes to fit the lifestyle needs of the empty nester, busy professional or first-time homebuyer. In addition, Darling will also be building on larger lots in Lakeside offering luxury homes for families in need of more space and yard. ��
Single-family homes are just one component of the planned mixed use, urban-style Lakeside DFW development that sits along the northeast shore of Grapevine Lake in Flower Mound. At build-out, the community is planned to include retail, restaurant and office space, a hotel, urban-style and loft apartments, townhomes, and condominiums.
Lake view restaurants will be a key component of the Lakeside Village which is located at the southern end of the property overlooking the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center as well as the western sunsets across the water. Unique public amenities of Lakeside will include an amphitheater, boardwalk, and an observation deck.
�We know that Flower Mound residents are eager to see the dirt fly as construction gets underway this Spring,� Archie said. �In addition, we are finalizing plans with our mixed-use development partner to build the Phase I retail/loft component at FM 2499 and Lakeside Parkway. We expect to see lots of sticks on the ground this time next year.�

Sally Student is a "rising 2L" at Boyd School of Law, a state-run facility located in the state of Nevada. Sally studied for 10 hours a day, 7 days a week during her 1L year, and put up with a variety of pointless hypotheticals posed to her by various professors.
From: firstname.lastname@example.com
Date: July 9, 2009 11:28:54 AM PDT
Subject: Constitutional Law I grades
Dear Rising 2L's,
It is possible you have heard a rumor that some first year grades are not yet available and that those classes missing the grades may be graded on a pass/fail basis. I write to confirm the basics of this rumor and clarify what has occurred.
The BSL Registrar has received all grades except grades in two sections of Constitutional Law I. Despite efforts, we have been unable to determine the status of the grades for those two sections. We understand that this is a serious inconvenience to you and potentially disruptive to your plans. Consequently, we have taken the interim step of asking another Constitutional Law Professor to grade the papers on a pass/fail basis so that we may create rankings. We expect to have those grades by early next week at the latest.
It is our hope that the professor who has not turned in grades has in fact graded them or is nearing completion of grading them. However, we have no way to know at this time what the status of those grades is. Should we receive grades by Monday (when we expect to receive the pass/fail grades) we will use them. If we do not receive them by Monday, we will utilize the pass/fail grades, calculate rankings, and move forward.
Please accept my sincere apology for this most unfortunate situation. Please trust that we are taking all appropriate steps to see that grades for the missing classes are submitted in short order. I believe that grading exams in a timely fashion is among the faculty's most significant obligations; consequently, I am extremely troubled by this situation and am taking every step possible to remedy it and will be taking additional steps to ensure something like this does not happen in the future.
Dean White

By Cris Carl, Networx
"What's new in baby-proofing has a tendency to reflect what new hazards exist," said Jeff Baril, president of the International Association for Child Safety. "Every year the question comes up about how to approach what's new in our lives (in terms of child-proofing)," said Baril.
In a talk with Baril and Joseph Canha, owner of Safe Start, in Westford, Mass., we discussed over-arching situations parents need to be aware of when child-proofing, as well as new and reliable products. Canha has owned his child-proofing business in the Boston area for the past 15 years. Canha said that in terms of child-proofing products, not a lot has changed over the years, but rather products have been improved upon.
One good example would be newer spring-loaded outlet safety plates. Instead of placing a plastic plug in all your outlets, if the child pulls a plug from its socket, a plate slides across the outlet, making it safe for the child and easier for adults.
In general, Canha said that when he goes into a home for an assessment, he looks at the structure of the home, areas that the child needs to be restricted from, where there are "pinching hazards," and where sharp or caustic items are stored. Canha said that one reliable method of baby-proofing is to watch the paths the child tends to take, and then rearrange furniture to create a clear path.
Televisions and child-proofing
Both Canha and Baril had a lot to say about the dangers to small children of flat-screen televisions. "Every child thinks there are people in the TV and they want to get up close and personal," said Baril.
"More than several children have been killed by televisions falling on them each year," Baril added. He described the main reason for the problem being the placement of the TV on inappropriate surfaces such as cardboard boxes, plant stands, and baker's tables. In addition, flat-screen televisions have a very small pedestal they rest upon. Both men recommended either wall-mounting televisions or buying and installing TV straps to anchor the TV.
"Older televisions were heavy and their weight was more evenly distributed," said Baril. Baril added that most people tend to have a TV in their nursery – on top of a bureau, another unsafe location. "The straps work for both TV's and tall furniture, " said Baril.

D-Wade talks about his off-court style stats.

Tuesday, 28 December 2010 00:04
Dwyane Wade is quite the anomaly—not just for his skillful feats on the court, but also for his trendsetting style choices off of it. The 28-year-old NBA standout, who recently costarred in Just Wright with Queen Latifah and Common, says he's quite comfortable in the distinguished gentleman role—even if it means getting routine facials.

Global property markets feel the Dragon's roar3 Feb, 2012, London
Cushman & Wakefield global research shows Beijing office market with world's fastest
rental-rate growth year-over-year
• Prime office rents in Beijing up over 70% in 2011 According to Cushman & Wakefield, Asia-Pacific – most notably Beijing – is experiencing a boom in office rents fuelled by rising demand and increasingly limited supply. As the Chinese calendar moves into the Year of the Dragon, prime office rents in Beijing have risen year-on-year by 75%, a steeper increase than 2010 (48%) and the highest increase of any city in the world during 2011. Beijing is now more expensive than Shanghai and is the third most costly city in Asia for occupiers taking office space behind Hong Kong and Tokyo. The two fastest-rising locations in terms of rental growth in Asia Pacific after Beijing were Shanghai (27%) and Singapore (24%). On a global basis, Hong Kong remains the most expensive city for office space in terms of total occupancy costs, followed by London (West End) in second place, and Tokyo in third. The top three locations remained unchanged from last year. In 2010, Tokyo held the top position with London second, and Hong Kong third. On a regional basis, Asia-Pacific saw an 8% rise in rents in 2011, the highest rate of growth in the world. The most expensive location in the Americas region was New York (Midtown), which moved ahead of Rio de Janeiro to claim the number one position in the Americas, despite dropping in the global ranking to sixth in this year from fifth last year. "From a broad global perspective, rental rate growth has been driven primarily by modest economic improvements in an environment of limited new supply," said Glenn Rufrano, President and Chief Executive Officer of Cushman & Wakefield. Globally, 2011 saw office demand improving, availability falling and rents rising by 3% - an increase on 2010 (1%). The uplift in rents is a reflection of the declining balance of Grade A availability in a growing number of countries. Last year was the second consecutive year of positive rental growth following a year of declining rents in all regions in 2009. However, the recovery remains restricted to prime office space, and is most visible in major gateway cities. While the year began strongly, economic uncertainty on a global level resulted in a drop in leasing activity during the third quarter and a slow recovery is expected through 2012. Americas Overall, occupational demand in the Americas was strong in 2011. Some markets saw exceptional growth, most notably San Francisco which saw a 20% increase in rental levels on the back of a renewed boom in the technology market. Other locations which performed robustly include Toronto and Houston as a result of the growth in technology, healthcare and energy. Europe Looking forward, while Europe's overall economy faces more headwinds, at least in early 2012, Moscow, Frankfurt, Munich, Paris, Istanbul, Stockholm and London are expected to outpace other European markets over the next one-to-two years. Barrie David of Cushman & Wakefield's Global Research Group said, "Despite economic difficulties, office rental performance across the globe was largely positive with most countries showing growth over the last year. However, the picture was mixed and, given the increased caution and uncertainty as the year progressed, the outlook for 2012 is for more muted growth and occupiers to remain in the driving seat." John Siu, Executive Director Hong Kong, Cushman & Wakefield, commented, "The Hong Kong office market, especially the activity in Greater Central (CBD) was very much affected by the credit crisis in Europe in the second half of 2011. Banking and finance occupiers in particular have become very cautious about their office expansion and relocation plans. As a result, landlords are now more willing to offer additional rental incentives to retain tenants in their buildings and attract new tenants. Rents in Greater Central are expected to adjust downward by 10 to 15% over the next 12 months." Andy Zhang, Managing Director of Cushman & Wakefield China, commented on China's office
market, "We noticed an upward trend in office rents in most major Chinese cities in 2011. The
unprecedented urbanization process in China and strong economic growth will continue to drive
up the demand for office space. Beijing and Shanghai have relatively mature and international
office markets and will lead the rental growth. With a single-digit record low vacancy rate and
not much quality supply foreseeable in the coming Guy Taylor, Head of West End Office Agency, Cushman & Wakefield, said, "Businesses searching for space in the West End will be faced with a limited choice because available supply is much tighter than in the City of London. Many of these occupiers are less tied to location and are increasingly price sensitive. They will consider good quality low-cost space, as long as it is attractive to staff, in alternative locations. Although decision making is being delayed as a result of economic conditions we are still seeing new enquiries emerging even in these challenging times as a result of the continued appeal of the West End."

10 Random Things Every Mother Knows from thefrisky.com
1. What to do when you're sick. Moms spring into action the moment a tummy ache is reported or a fever detected, which is why we're still not too proud to give our moms a call when we're feeling crappy. 2. How to tell if you're actually sick. That being said, they also have the uncanny ability to know if that tummy ache is legit. Whether you're faking sick to miss a test or faking health to go to a party, moms always know what's up and will send you to school or bed accordingly. 3. Where all the shoe sales are. Need a new pair of pumps but don't want to pay full price? Call your mother. 4. How to touch or smell pretty much anything without getting grossed out. Poopy diapers? Slumber party flu outbreak? Dead mouse in the basement? No problem. Mom can handle it. 5. French braiding. We're still trying to master the ponytail; meanwhile our moms were the original gangstas of french braiding. 6. What's really bothering you. You can dance around it. You can actively evade it. But your mom will always know exactly what's troubling you. 7. If you're up to something. This goes for childhood mischief as well as adolescent rebellion. As sneaky as you think you are, nothing gets past Mom. 8. How to multitask like a freakin' superhero. Folding laundry while making dinner while conducting a conference call while updating the family calendar while putting a bandage on a scraped elbow? All in a day's work. 9. When you're PMSing. Somehow our moms are always more aware of our cycles than we are, and they're not afraid to point it out. 10. Everything that you do when her back is turned or whisper on the other side of the house. Moms see and hear everything. We used to pretend this was annoying, but we've always secretly thought it was pretty cool–just more proof that moms are magical!

16 Ways To Cut Your Grocery Bill In Half from money talk news
1. Buy discounted meat, poultry and fish What most of us do is create a menu, then go to the store and buy the ingredients. A better way might be to plan our menus around what's on sale. One of my local grocery stores, Publix, puts different cuts and types of meats on sale every week. Grab what's on sale. If it's your favorite, stock up.
2. Eliminate soda and sugary drinks Not only is this good for your health, it's good for your wallet. Last year, a Gallup poll showed that nearly half of Americans drink soda every day. Stick to water whenever possible; it's nearly free. Need more variety? Buy powdered drink mixes or tea and make it yourself.
3. Opt for whole instead of cut produce A container of fruit salad at my grocery store can cost $5. But when I buy the fruits separately and slice them myself, the same money will pay for a week's worth. Slicing fruit isn't rocket science.
4. Try Meatless Monday Monday isn't a requirement, but consider joining the Meatless Monday movement. Less meat can mean less fat, clearer arteries and lower expenses. If you can't imagine a meal not centered on meat, look online for recipes. There are thousands upon thousands.
5. Buy only food Do you grab home essentials at the grocery store, where laundry detergent and deodorant cost more? You're paying extra for convenience. Stores like Walmart and Walgreens have much better deals.
6. Make your own snacks Cheez-Its, Goldfish and all manner of snacks are a quick pick, but they add up when you check out. Pack lunches and after-school snacks with fresh fruit, carrots or homemade granola, and you'll lower your calories and spending. Strung out on Goldfish? You can make them yourself.
7. Visit farmers markets Big-box grocers offer a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, but variety doesn't translate to inexpensive. Visit your local farmers market, which may be less expensive, or go straight to the farm.
8. Buy generic From flour to salt to pasta, you can save 30 percent or more with store brands. This works for practically everything on your grocery list. But even if you hate generics, it's hard to argue it's worth paying more for these seven things.
9. Make more If you're stocking up on meat and veggies, why not cook extra? Roast a chicken with veggies at the beginning of the week and use leftovers for chicken salad, tacos or a pasta dish. Stretch your meals.
10. Make essentials yourself When it comes to staples like bread, pasta sauce, soups and stock, save by making them yourself. There won't be any mysterious or unpronounceable ingredients, and you can create the flavors you prefer.
11. Make lists — lots of them I use Wunderlist for my grocery list, and share it with other members of my household. They can add items when we run out, and it means I don't have to be the pantry police. I build my list from my meal plan for the week, which is based on what's on sale and what I already have on hand.
12. Shop more often This may sound counterintuitive, especially for busy families. But buying less more often can save money in the long run. I go grocery shopping two or three times a week rather than making one big trip every other week. I buy the freshest products, which are consumed before they go bad, reducing food waste.
13. Grow your own Whether it's on your apartment patio or in your backyard, you can grow your own herbs, vegetables and possibly fruit. See how to start your own garden.
14. Clip coupons Look through weekly circulars, grab the Sunday newspaper, and look online for coupons. Stack manufacturer's coupons with store sales. Ask if your store will price match.
15. Clean out your kitchen Take inventory so you can see what you need and what you have on hand to work with. This is especially important for your refrigerator, where items can get lost in the back or leftovers can be forgotten.
16. Don't waste money on organic Some shoppers swear by organic and others think it's unnecessary. But there are two things we can all agree on: It normally costs more, and there are some items for which the potential benefit is minimal. For example, fruits with protective skins we don't eat, like bananas and avocados, are much less likely to be affected by pesticides.
After The Boston Marathon Explosions: What parents should do first from boston.com
First of all, give your kids a hug. And your partner. Call your mother. Call anyone and everyone you love and make sure they know you love them. Don't wait another second. The world is a tenuous place, and those we love are more important than anything.
Second, shut off the television. It's hard not to stay glued to the television, especially since we are waiting or answers and are wondering how this will affect our lives in the days to come. But shut it off--it's too much, and too disturbing, for young eyes. Get your information from your laptop and smart phone instead.
Tell your children what happened. They need to hear it from you. Keep it big picture; no need for gory details.
Answer their questions honestly. Again, skip the gory details.
Reassure children that terrible things like this are very rare. Usually, Copley Square and other public places and events are safe.
Talk about all the ways that you and other people work to keep them safe. These conversations might just help you, too.
Talk about the heroes. There will be more stories in the days to come. Those are the stories to concentrate on; it can help your children, and give them inspiring and empowering role models.
In the days to come, find ways to help. Maybe it's donating to the Red Cross. Maybe it's writing condolence letters. There will be ways to show that you care, and to make a difference...look for them.

Watermelon The summer fruit is high in citrulline, which—like that little blue pill—stimulates nitric-oxide production and increases blood flow to your man junk.
Dark Chocolate This treat is loaded with flavonoids that dilate your arteries. Eat about 1.6 ounces of dark chocolate (about the size of a regular Hershey's bar) daily—that's the amount researchers at the University of California found improved blood-vessel dilation by more than 10 percent.
Cherries Studies show that flavonoids in red, blue, and purple berries cleanse free radicals from arteries, relaxing them and improving blood flow.

10 Crazy Tax Deductions the IRS Allows from Fox News Pet food ... Cat food was allowed as a tax deduction after the felines helped to clean up a junkyard by eliminating snakes and rats, which in turn made the place of business safer. As a result, the IRS lawyers allowed the cost of cat food to be deducted for that family. Moving the family pet ... Moving to a new home as the result of a job change can afford you some tax liberties, specifically when it comes to the cost of moving a family pet. TurboTax says "your pet — be it a Pekingese or a python — is treated the same as your other personal effects." A trip to Bermuda ... TurboTax also says that business trips to conventions held in Bermuda are deductible. Even more, people claiming that deduction do not have to show that there was a special reason for the meeting to be held there, according to TurboTax. Additionally, the TurboTax blog says similar tax benefits apply in Barbados, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Grenada, Guyana, Honduras, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago. "Meetings held in Canada, Mexico and all U.S. possessions also receive this favorable tax treatment," TurboTax says. "Attend a convention in Paris, Rome or Beijing, though, and there's no deduction unless you can show it made as much sense to travel abroad as to head to Pittsburgh." Body oil ... The tax court also ruled that a professional bodybuilder could deduct the costs of the body oil he used in competitions to make his muscles glisten, but deductions for buffalo meat and special vitamin supplements were denied. A private airplane ... One couple was able to write off the costs for their private plane because it was used to check on their rental condo. However, the court stipulated that the plane , including the cost of fuel and depreciation, could be deducted only for trips related to flights to their condo for the portion of time used for business-related purposes. Breast augmentation ... A stripper named "Chesty Love" was able to deduct the cost of her breast augmentation surgery since the tax court judge ruled that the cost of her operation could be claimed as a business expense. Landscaping costs ... Business owners who operate out of a home office are allowed to deduct a portion of the costs for landscaping and some home repairs, including driveway repairs, according to TurboTax. Free beer ... One gas station owner was able to deduct the cost of beer as a business expense after he gave free beer instead of trading stamps for a promotion. Swimming pool ... A person was allowed to deduct the cost of his pool due to the fact the patient had been told by a doctor to develop an exercise regiment to help his emphysema. "The Tax Court allowed him to deduct the cost of the pool (to the extent that the cost exceeded its added value to the property) as a medical expense because its primary purpose was for medical care," TurboTax said. "Also, the cost of heating the pool, pool chemicals and a proportionate part of insuring the pool area were treated as medical expenses." A girlfriend .. One person who owned several rental properties was able to deduct his live-in girlfriend who managed the properties. "The Tax Court let him deduct $2,500 of the $9,000 he paid her. The disallowed portion was considered to be for nondeductible personal services," TurboTax says.
10 Weird Easter Traditions From Around The World from www.Mirror.co.uk
1. Surely the strangest Easter custom takes places in the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia, where there is a tradition of spanking or whipping women on Easter Monday. Males throw water at females and spank them with handmade whips made of willow and decorated with ribbons at the end. The spanking is supposed to be symbolic and according to legend, females should be spanked in order to keep their health and beauty during the next year. It doesn't sound too fun for the women!
2. In Finland, children dress up and go begging in the streets with sooty faces, carrying broomsticks. Sounds a bit like Halloween? In some parts of Western Finland they even burn bonfires on Easter Sunday. But there is no sign of Guy Fawkes. This tradition takes place to ward off witches flying around between Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
3. On Maundy Thursday in Verges, in Spain, a traditional "death dance" is performed which involves a parade down the streets of the medieval town. Everyone involved is dressed in costumes and the procession ends with frightening skeletons carrying boxes of ashes. The scary dance begins at midnight and continues for three hours into the early morning.
4. If the man of the house in Poland takes part in preparing the traditional Easter bread, custom has it that his moustache will turn grey and the dough will fail. So the lucky man of the house is banned from helping out.
5. More than 4,500 eggs are used to cook up a giant omelette on the streets of Haux in France. The meal must feed up to 1,000 people and is prepared in the main square in time for lunch.
6. In Switzerland, villages turn their fountains into Easter Wells, using paper streamers, flowers and painted eggs to decorate them. The tradition takes place to celebrate the symbol of water, and its importance to the dry areas of the Alps.
7. In Germany the tradition is to create an Easter fire out of used Christmas trees from the winter. The fire is seen as a symbol of the victory for the beautiful and sunny spring over the cold days of winter. Perhaps we should start this tradition in freezing Britain!
8. In Latvia, the traditional Easter game played by the children is similar to conkers – but with eggs. Players pair off and use hard-boiled colored eggs joined together with string. Competitors bang the ends of the eggs together until one player's egg breaks. The winner is the player with the stronger egg. It sounds a bit messy to us.
9. The Easter bunny is the most popular symbol of Easter thanks to the Americans, but over in Australia they prefer to use their native marsupial, the Bilby. This is due to the fact that the rabbit has destoyed their land, crops and vegetation. No wonder they don't like the bunny!
10. Britain actually does have some unusual traditions of its own. At the Hocktide festival in Hungerford, the town's new police constable blows his horn to call all the men to the Hocktide Court in the town hall. Two men are then elected and parade through the streets giving women oranges in return for kisses. We wonder how they decide which men get to do that!
10 Things Men Find Sexiest About A Woman from msn.com
Fit Legs. You've heard of a "breast man" and a "butt man," but there is a third type of man out there, and he ain't playin'. Meet the "lower limb lover," aka the "leg man." When polled a few hundred men on Twitter recently, "legs" was by far the No. 1 sexy thing about a woman.
Unshakable Faith. "I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move." Nothing is sexier than that.
Mean Shoe Game. Shocker, men look at shoes, too. Five- to six-inch heels will get his attention.
A Pleasant Scent. To the surprise of many, attraction actually begins with scent.
A Nice Buttocks. What can you say but, 'Milkshakes bring the boys to the yard.'
Rachel Ray Skills. Skills As my grandma says, "A sure way to a man's heart is through his stomach."
Select Cleavage. Don't let the girls hang all the way out, but don't keep them completely covered either.
Understated Confidence. When confidence is conveyed in a subtle way, it's always more sexy.
An Adventurous Spirit. Be daring and be willing to try new things.
Exposed Back Specifically, the small of the back. Unveil it and you'll make the fellas go crazy.
Here is the poem from "The Thrill of the Chase," Fenn's self-published autobiography:
As I have gone alone in there And with my treasures bold, I can keep my secret where, And hint of riches new and old.
Begin it where warm waters halt And take it in the canyon down, Not far, but too far to walk. Put in below the home of Brown.
From there it's no place for the meek, The end is drawing ever nigh; There'll be no paddle up your creek, Just heavy loads and water high.
If you've been wise and found the blaze, Look quickly down, your quest to cease But tarry scant with marvel gaze, Just take the chest and go in peace.
So why is it that I must go And leave my trove for all to seek? The answers I already know I've done it tired, and now I'm weak
So hear me all and listen good, Your effort will be worth the cold. If you are brave and in the wood I give you title to the gold.
Happy hunting!

I bought this ring because my engagement ring was being soddered together with the wedding band. I wanted a black diamond because it was different and the fact that Mr. Big gave Carrie a black diamond ring in SATC2. I'm in love with SATC. Anyway, this ring is beautiful and I have received so many compliments and comments saying that it is very unique. I think I will wear it on my right hand ring finger once I get my real engagement ring back.
Good quality. The black diamond really shines and sparkles even though it is black. Wasn't sure about how well it would shine but it really does. Even the smaller diamonds sparkle. Great purchase.
The ring was a gift for my wife. She loved it! The quality, size, fit, and bling-effect were perfect!
My boyfriend told me to shop for rings, so I did. I picked this ring out for myself partly because he wants a black band and this matches with a black band, and partly because I wanted something unusual, and this is. He sneaked around and bought it for me and surprised me with it at my family's Christmas celebration, asking me to marry him. Of course I said "Yes"! This ring sparkles in every light. Even under a regular lamp, the diamonds sparkle. I didn't think the black diamonds would sparkle like they do, especially the center black diamond, but was I ever wrong! It is striking and sophisticated looking and when my family saw it they said it fits my unusual personality. I love it, the ring is gorgeous and the price was way more than reasonable. I would definitely recommend this ring to other couples who are looking for the unusual.
My husband bought me this ring for our 10 year wedding anniversary!! LOVE IT!! So glad he bought it for me. I love the sparkle in it and I get so many compliments on it.
Nice ring and have received compliments on it. Simple elegance and not garish. It is exactly as I expected it to be.
Bought ring for wife as Christmase present, and she loved it.
I wanted a black diamond ring and this is beautiful. I have gotten lots of compliments and i just love it. It was well priced and is well made. The diamond is beautiful and unique! If I could have made one change it would be to get the same ring in white gold... Overall this is one of the prettiest designs I found for a black diamond ring.
This ring has much more sparkle than I expected. I wear it almost daily just because it is so pretty!
I love, love, love this ring! I am so glad that I added it to my colored diamond collection! It sparkles, it shines! Want to wear it all the time!
