Scroll Down for Answers to Following Questions: ************************************************************************************************ 1. Can I combine orders of different Items and save money on shipping?
Yes you certainly can. If there is any discount by buying more than one item and packing together to save shipping this is what you do (THREE OPTIONS): **************************************************************************************************** A) Place your order USING PAYPAL for multiple items & INCLUDE in the note section of the order, that you would like a refund for postage if items can be combined and postage saved. IF this is possible, I will gladly calculate total postage shipped together and issue a refund via paypal for the difference. **************************************************************************************************** OR B) 1. Place your multiple order but DO NOT GO THROUGH CHECKOUT.....then after placing your order.. 2. email me at: email@example.com. I will: 1. Combine the items ordered and re-calculate shipping to your zip code. 2. Issue you a separate paypal invoice for payment. During this transaction period, I will place your chosen items on HOLD (up to 24 hours) to prevent any duplicate orders & allow you enough time to complete the transaction. 3. I will e mail you and tell you when the invoice is issued and payment is received. Payment for items ON HOLD for this type of transaction is expected within 24 hrs. If after the 24 hour hold period, payment is NOT received, I will sadly cancel the invoice, and put your item(s) back in stock due to NO SALE. **************************************************************************************************** OR: C) e mail me first & let me know what you are interested in. If I can adjust shipping charges so you can proceed through checkout, I will. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________

5. What SHIPPING METHOD do you use?
My store is set up to allow the buyer to select his preferred method of shipping using the US Postal Service. US buyers have the option of priority, standard/parcel post, or first class shipping, depending on the weight of the item. Tracking numbers are provided to the buyer on first class, standard & priority mail. For US buyers, I usually use MEDIA RATE for shipping printed material with a weight of 1LB or more , (UNLESS PRIORITY is specifically selected), but YOU will have to e mail me BEFORE purchase to allow me to re-calculate the shipping costs & issue a paypal invoice for this to be reflected in a reduced shipping & handling charge. If you need your item fast, I also offer express mail shipping - choose express method at check out. Please allow enough time to receive your merchandise. THE DELIVERY TIMES ARE ISSUED BY THE USPS & ARE NOT GUARANTEED. (See 'USPS Estimated Delivery Time' below). First class & parcel post can take up to 10 days because of postal delays even though the estimate may say much shorter. I do reserve the right to ship the most economical method if there is any issue with shipping. I cannot be responsible for postal mishandling so for this reason I recommend priority shipping. ***Postal Carrier will be directed to leave your package at the door if possible. If you do not want your package left at the door, please leave delivery instructions in notes/message section of your order.
6. Can I purchase insurance on your products?
All US priority mail has up to $50 worth of insurance without extra cost. If you want additional insurance or insurance for first class or standard mail, you can purchase it. However, IF YOU WANT TO ADD INSURANCE, YOU MUST CONTACT ME BEFORE PURCHASING THE ITEM, so the shipping costs can be adjusted to reflect the amount of insurance you wish to purchase. Otherwise, your package will ship uninsured or with the $50 maximum for US priority mail. Insurance CANNOT be added to international first class mail.
7. How long have you been selling?
I have been selling antiques & collectibles since the year 2000 and have many satisfied customers. I sell antiques from a B&M shop space & I sell vintage to antique merchandise here on eCrater. I began as an Ebay seller & you can check my Ebay 100% positive feedback rating using this copy/paste link: http://myworld.ebay.com/imaboomer
8. I would like to leave POSITIVE FEEDBACK, but I cannot find the link!
When placing an order on eCrater, you will receive a feedback link at the time of the sale. After 20 days if feedback has not been left for the seller, Ecrater sends a reminder to the buyer with another link, which gives you another opportunity to leave positive feedback. Feedback is very important to me the seller, and POSITIVE feedback is very appreciated. I do my best to accurately describe all items - if you are not satisfied with your purchase, please contact me BEFORE leaving any non positive feedback.
9. Why do I see your products in British pounds rather than US Dollars?
The eCrater site gives all sellers the option of having a UK store format as well as American. If you are seeing my listings in pounds, you must have found my UK store. The link to my American store format is: http://deannamoyers.ecrater.com See my various store formats above.
10. Do you sell from a smoke free/pet free home?
Yes I do. My home is smoke free & pet free.
11. What is your PRIVACY POLICY?
Your privacy is of the utmost importance to me. You can rest assured that your email & contact information will never be passed on to anyone else & never used for spamming.
12. Can I get additional photos of item?
Yes. I try to take photos that accurately show the piece, but if you would like any other photos for any other reason, feel free to ask & I'll be happy to email them to you.
13. What does Vintage Touch mean?
Vintage Touch is the name I have chosen for my antique business and I like to add my signature name 'Vintage Touch' to my listings to identify myself. By putting 'Vintage Touch' in the title of my listings, you can find my products at the eCrater.com marketplace by typing in 'Vintage Touch' in the main search engine.
14. How can I view all your products without going through categories?
You can view all products in gallery form. Once you click on an individual photo, you will see a gallery of other products for sale....to the right of this gallery there is a tab "view all products"....just click on this tab and you can view all my products. Thank you for browsing.
15. Will you ship to a different address other than mine?
Yes I will - IF THE 'SHIP TO' ADDRESS IS IN THE SAME TIME ZONE. I cannot pay additional shipping cost for an item that is calculated using your zip code, and then ship to another zip code in another zone, unless the shipping cost is the same. Please check the shipping cost on the item page, using your zip code & the 'ship to' zip code to verify that the cost is the same before purchasing.
Be aware when purchasing VINTAGE OR ANTIQUE items that most will arrive in used condition, some will show wear & age. Other items I sell may even be more desirable because of their distressed state. If there are noticeable defects I do my best to declare them under CONDITION, but on a rare occasion some minor defects may escape my notice or seem irrelevant to the over all beauty of the item. I may find the 'wear and tear' charming and distinctive where others may have a different description for the item. It is all in the eye and what you are wanting. Because of this my pieces are SOLD-AS-IS. So, again please do not hesitate to message me about anything you are questioning, and I will do my best to answer all your questions.
If you see a listed item and it says, ON HOLD, this item may still be available. I place items on hold when sold but also when transferred to my B&M shop space. If interested in an item marked ON HOLD, please message me (click ask seller a question) - if available I will pick up the item and re-activate the listing so you can purchase the piece.
Please see details of refund policy under 'TERMS' at the bottom right of any page.
19. USPS Estimated Delivery Time
I use USPS shipping exclusively unless arrangements are made for other shipping. When you select your shipping method, please be advised that the delivery time stated is issued by the USPS and NOT Vintage Touch. These delivery times are ESTIMATES issued by the US postal service and sometimes mail is not delivered according to their estimate & not guaranteed by USPS. I ship by next business day after payment is received but cannot guarantee the USPS estimated delivery dates.

Hi everyone,
I'm CW from New Zealand (it's near Australia). I've been on UG for a while now, looking up new decks, reviews, etc. I've been doing magic on and off, recently got into cardistry and suddenly have a passion on collecting certain playing cards. So would like to use this platform to get some ideas on the best way to preserve my decks.

In a controversial move that promises to rattle markets, the government of Argentina announced the re-nationalization of YPF, a major subsidiary of Spain's Repsol. Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner (CFK), Argentina's president, accused Repsol of failing to keep up with investment promises, while funneling profits out of the country via dividend payments.
Repsol, on the other hand, responded by saying they would sue Argentina at the World Bank's arbitration court, looking to recover €8 billion. Antonio Brufau, president of Repsol, accused the Kirchner administration of using populism to "cover up the social and economic crisis" currently faced by the South American nation, according to Spanish daily El Pais. The Spanish oil company suggested the recent discovery of the Vaca Muerta basin, a major shale gas formation that potentially gives Argentina the third largest recoverable natural gas reserves in the world, was behind the expropriation.
CFK announced the expropriation of YPF on Monday via a bill sent to Congress titled "On Argentina's Hydrocarbon Sovereignty." The bill, expected to easily clear the legislative process given Kirchner's solid majorities, breaks down the expropriation of 51% of YPF Repsol, all of it coming from Respol's 57% stake, leaving the Spanish company with about 6% of its former subsidiary.
Having declared "hydrocarbon self-sufficiency" to be "in the national interest," Kirchner explained the shares will be split, 51% of those appropriated staying with the national government, the remaining 49% with oil and gas producing provincial governments.
It's still unclear how much Repsol will get for its stake, but odds aren't stacking up for them. After Repsol President Brufau condemned Argentina for its "illegitimate and unjustifiable act," the executive said they are looking to get €8 billion for their stake ($10.5 billion). The Argentine government quickly dismissed that number, with super minister Julio De Vido and deputy finance minister Axel Kicilloff, the administration's two top officials now in charge of YPF, rejecting Brufau's price tag. After determining the value of the company "internally," the government will charge Repsol for "environmental damages," further eroding their possible pay-out.
Behind the scenes, there are two major themes guiding this story. First and foremost is Argentina's energy crisis, followed closely by the discovery of massive reserves in shale rock in the Argentine mainland.
For the first time in 17 years, Argentina's energy trade balance came in negative in 2011, Repsol's data shows. YPF produced 34% of the country's oil and 23% of its natural gas last year, yet the company was forced to import (and thus invest aggressively) to make up for an important, and growing, energy shortage.
Argentina's energy shortage isn't a problem of reserves but of production, which in turn is causally connected to bad energy policy. Argentina experienced an unprecedented economic expansion as it came out of the massive 2001-2 default, with GDP growing 8% per year from '02 to '10; energy demand, during that time, grew 5% per year.
As demand grew, production lagged due to insufficient investment in improving productivity. In true populist fashion, the Kirchner administrations have stimulated consumption (via cheap loans for electronics, for example) and subsidized basic goods, like public transportation and energy. Energy producers like YPF were forced to sell natural gas at capped prices, while any shortfalls had to be compensated by imports paid for by large producers, thus dis-incentivizing investment. Natural gas prices in Argentina stood at $2.10 per million BTU, compared to $4 to $5 internationally; Bolivia, which exports a lot of nat gas to Argentina, was selling at $10 to $16, according to Repsol.
With imports climbing exponentially since 2009, the trade balance has fallen to negative $3.4 billion, which is made worse by rampant inflation (about 20% annually) and capital flight. Dividends payments required taking even more dollars out of Argentina.

I installed tpfanco-svn [1] from the AUR, and all that went smoothly. However, I do get some serious Python related errors when I actually try to run tpfand or tpfan-admin, and I do not know whether they are actually Python 2 or Python 3 related.
Here are the error messages:
$ tpfand
Traceback (most recent call last):

Any ideas how to debug this? Maybe I am missing some package?
1: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tpfanco-svn/
EDIT/Solution: The scripts, both tpfand and the tpfan-admin GUI, are only meant to be run as root. If done so, no errors are thrown.

I have been quilting for about 9 years now. We have a small online company that just started up a few weeks ago.
I am wondering if anyone knows where I can go looking for a quilting business partner and is there a place in this forum that I could actually post a request for such. I am not looking for investment or anything like that, just someone who loves quilting and has the time to devote to a new company.
Any input, would be greatly appreciated.

The internet has been a powerful force of change and communication in the modern world. It has allowed companies like Argus HD to flourish and share its message to millions of people. However, its ease of use, ubiquity, and anonymity has has amplified its dangers.
Because of this, technology writer Larry Magid founded ConnectSafely.org, an organization devoted to teaching students about the potential dangers of online life and how to best avoid them. Its efforts culminate each year in Safer Internet Day, a live event hosting 300 middle-school students and beamed live to thousands more across the United States, courtesy of Argus HD.
Held at Universal Studios Hollywood, this year's event focused on the problems of bullying and harassment on the internet, and challenged students to find ways to actively combat them. Speakers included Tshaka Armstrong, founder and CEO of Digital Shepherds; Larry Magid; and a panel of student leaders and activists. The keynote speaker was WWE superstar Mike "The Miz" Mizanin, who described how even he has been harassed on the internet, and the strategies he used to combat it.
Argus HD is proud to have helped to spread the message against bullying, and hopes that all students take the time to heed the message.
If you are in need of any video production, Audio-Visual (AV), or live-streaming needs, contact Argus HD today.

The Smurfs saved Juzcar. The tiny village on Spain's southern sierra had been largely bought out by Libya's Colonel Gaddafi, who planned to develop the area into golf-courts and resorts. The Arab Spring deep-sixed that possibility, so the townsfolk changed up their business strategy.
Last year, Sony Pictures swooped in and wanted to promote their new film, The Smurfs. They convinced the locals to paint all the white-washed buildings blue. When the time came to paint the buildings back, residents dressed as smurfs stormed a referendum and voted 141 in favour and 33 against to remain the world's only Smurf village.
The mayor instigated "smurf" theme in every aspect of their tourism marketing. The plan worked, and they now receive thousands of visitors a week.
The Global Mail reports: "Thriving Juzcar is a quirky model of globalisation, squeezing everything it can from a Belgian cartoon phenomenon described as 'kiddie cocaine' and launched into commercial overdrive by a Japanese entertainment giant out of Hollywood."

About "1960s Austin Gangsters"
Inside the story behind the book "1960s Austin Gangsters:Organized Crime that Rocked the Capital."
(Order from BookPeople, South Congress Books, Barnes&Noble, Amazon, HistoryPress.net, or for a SIGNED copy directly from the author, use contact form on this site.)
Welcome to Austin Noir. Today people think of Austin as a pleasant, artistic, quirky, music-crazed town, bursting with smart people, cool restaurants, and reclaimed dive bars. But just beneath the surface simmers a spectral past–a weirder, sleazier Austin, one that the Chamber of Commerce brochures and real estate brochures don't talk about. Back in the sixties and the fifties, the rapidly transforming area east of I35 around Cesar Chavez, then known as East First, was home to a white trash thug culture that fed the conveyor belt between the Travis County jail and the Walls Unit at Huntsville, as well as the federal prisons. The best known of these was James Timothy Overton, better known as Timmy Overton, Number One, etc. Timmy was charismatic and athletic. He fought in Golden Gloves in the mid-fifties and graduated from Stephen F. Austin High in 1958 with a full ride scholarship, recruited by that hero of 21st century college football, Darrell K Royal. Timmy's dream was a not uncommon one for an underprivileged boy growing up on the wrong side of the tracks in a town where no matter where you stood, you could see two icons: the state capitol dome and the UT Tower. Timmy wanted to play football for the Texas Longhorns.
Overton attended UT for two years and played under Royal in the Cotton Bowl Classic against the Syracuse Orange, New Year's Day 1960. But Overton's football career crashed and burned after as he was seduced by Austin thug culture. Royal knew Timmy was a troublemaker when he offered the scholarship.
Timmy's mother had died of a brain tumor in the fall of 1957, the day before his 17th birthday, his senior year. There were other problems at home. His father, Snooks Overton, shacked up with a serial divorcee named Florine. Timmy and two of his brothers chose not to live in the same house with her. It was just as well: Florine had six kids of her own and a contagious barbiturate habit.
Starting at UT in the fall of 1958, Timmy was already involved in the Austin underworld, selling drugs, possibly pimping girls at Hattie's M&M Courts on South Congress Avenue. The second time Timmy got busted on a payroll check fraud scam, Coach Royal booted him off the team and turned his back on him.
Embittered at Royal's treatment, Timmy didn't just go over to the dark side, he schemed to get even. Industrious, he wasn't just a criminal slacker, but a sports jock gone bad. One of the most interesting episodes in "1960s Austin Gangsters" is that of Timmy's heist of the UT Co-op safe during the Thanksgiving Day game between Texas and A&M 1964–a clear case of revenge against Darrell Royal, the coach so revered in Texas that they put his name in front of Memorial Stadium, a facility originally dedicated to the American soldiers who gave their lives in World War I (Let's assume they were all big football fans and talk no more about it).
Overton was convicted and spent Christmas 1960 in jail, awaiting sentencing. After a few months of R&R at the Walls Unit, Timmy returned to Austin and moved into full-time hustling: safecracking, forgery, pimping, dealing drugs, cross-roading and other aspects of the Dixie Mafia lifestyle.
The Overtons had a fearsome reputation. Timmy was a renowned bare knuckle boxer. He toted a sawed off shotgun and a .38. If you saw the Overton entourage in public, there were usually several other hulking bruisers in the group mixed in with fast-jiving junkies, domino hustlers, party girls and always a used car dealer or two. They drove Cadillacs and other large, pimp-worthy luxury American cars. They collected big cars and swapped them amongst themselves, using various ruses to make it harder for the authorities to track ownership. Star Steel Erection Company doubled as in-joke and a holding company used for obscuring the chain of title.
They were local stars, constantly in the papers, in court, in all the local watering holes, and particularly, on the road, doing their gambling thing, pulling heists, circulating hookers through the circuit, and their specialty, burglarizing small town banks.
Law enforcement agencies across the South and Southwest had a terrible time coordinating their efforts in dealing with the gang's depredations.
Not a few lawmen were living too well on bribes, and some–precursors of today's Tea Party nutters–didn't want any outside cops involved in their little redneck kingdoms, or even asking questions about why the local sheriff could afford a new Cadillac, gem-studded pinkie rings, and $100 alligator shoes on a $50 a week salary.
Timmy Overton's outfit was eventually decimated in a massive example of federal excess, a conspiracy trial in 1968 with 20 defendants and hundreds of witnesses that lasted almost six months and costs millions of dollars back when that was a lot of money. Timmy was convicted on multiple federal counts sent to the federal pen at Leavenworth, Kansas for five years. Released in October 1972, he was he was bumped off two months later in Fair Park in Dallas, on December 9, 1972. There were and still are a lot of murky questions about who paid for the hit, why, etc.
A few years later, Timmy's best pal, Jerry Ray "Fat Jerry" James, went on to greater fame. He earned a spot on the FBI Most Wanted list in '66-67. Fat Jerry was already famous in the underworld when he was suspected as being a trigger man in the ambush attack that killed Pauline, the spouse of Buford Pusser, sheriff of McNary County, Tennessee. True crime aficionados may recall that Pusser's battle against the Dixie Mafia and State Line Mob on the Tennessee /Mississippi border was immortalized in the 1973 film Walking Tall (best to not mention the sequels).
Later, Fat Jerry and various other Overton alumni popped up in the plot to assassinate Federal District Judge John H. Wood, Jr. in 1979. Between the JFK assassination and the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the Wood assassination was the biggest federal investigation in US history. You can read about that in the fine book, Dirty Dealing. It's a very good book about that case, although it glances over the Timmy Overton Gang in the sixties. For that, you have to read my book.
Timmy Overton did business with the same guys that Sheriff Buford Pusser waged war against in Walking Tall, with all those big cars speeding down two-lane roads, mobile homes getting perforated with shotguns and Tommy guns, gambling, strong-arm, prostitution, dope and bootlegging. All those things happened during the early Dixie Mafia era in Austin and other nodes of the white trash underworld of the South and Southwest.
Did I mention that the Overton gang has been mentioned in connection with the JFK assassination? It's probably just a flaky myth, but it's a fact that they were part of the extended orbit of Jack Ruby, Lee Harvey Oswald, the Campesi brothers, R. D. Matthews, George Albert McGann and the dancers and B-girls from Ruby's Carousel Club and Abe Weinstein's Colony Club.
Timmy Overton's best friend and fellow pugilist, Don Jester, went backstage at the Coliseum in 1956 and punched out Elvis. People who grew up with Don Jester will not be surprised to hear it.
"Are you kidding me?" I said to Timmy's old running buddy, Ronny Smith.
"Yeah, I mean, he cold-cocked ol' Elvis. Knocked him on the ground."
"But why? Why did he do that?"
Ronny shrugged. "He was just jealous, I guess. All them girls oohing and ahhing over Elvis. Don, he was a hillbilly singer, too."
[As some of you know, I've been working on this case for many years now. My attempts to produce the kind of nonfiction book-length treatment have not been satisfactory to date. I've still got my files and I'm still deep into it, however, and for now, this is going to be my outlet for that project. A few years ago, I wrote about my experiences doing this research, and decided to write a novel about it–then changed my mind again. But I got a pretty decent essay about it, and you can read more about the Overton Gang and my writing life in the Texas Observer article titled Adaptation: One Writer's Long, Strange Trip From Fact to Fiction.]
I'll be posting more updates on the blog and on this page, so check out the book, the posts, the photos, etc.

The silks room at Saratoga Race Course was dedicated to longtime silks man Louis "Louie" Olah in a ceremony this morning.
Olah, the NYRA silks man since 1967, died in March at age 79.
"I'm so happy that NYRA has him remembered this way," said jockey Richard Migliore, who attended the ceremony outside the silks room. "He was such a part of the jockey's room and this racetrack for so many years that now he'll remain a part of it forever. It's a wonderful thing."
Olah worked at Saratoga, Belmont and Aqueduct, where he was in charge of making sure the right owner's silks – or colors – were on the right jockey in the right race. He organized about 4,000 silks.
Olah, who was 4-foot-8 and 90 pounds, began his career as a jockey at now-defunct Jamaica Racetrack and won nearly 200 races.
The sign that now hangs over the silks room reads, "The Little Man in the Colors Room Colored Our Lives With Joy."

Lasagna Noodles
I have a lot of left over cooked lasagna noodles that I did not use in my lasagna last night. Normally I make two: one vege one beef and sausage. I decided at the last minute I was too tired to make the second and now I have leftover noodles.
Does anyone have some creative ideas about what I can do with them?

Not just lease of land but a lease of ife for Mumbai racecourse
The Mahalaxmi racecourse lease expires by the end of this month. While the city is on edge about the fate of this land, it is time racing bigwigs and the Govt. work together to rejuvenate this industry
First, it was a minister who wanted to "sell" the Mahalaxmi racecourse to ease the state's debt burden which was, ironically, created by the thoughtless policies (not to mention the ubiquitously corrupt practices) pursued by his tribe. Then, there was a lady mayor who imagined Mumbaikars' traffic woes would lessen considerably if only the racecourse would get converted into a giant, multi-layered parking slot. And now we have another city mayor who wants it to be converted into a garden for the common man's use, blissfully unaware of the fact that the racecourse, with all its open spaces, playgrounds, jogging tracks, is accessible to any Mumbaikar round the year.
Fortunately, every time someone drooled over the prime and pricey racecourse real estate which measures approximately 226 acres, the average Mumbaikar, propped by alert media, has always seen through their so-called altruistic motive and thwarted the attempt, as they are yet again doing this time. According to government sources, there are indications that Prithviraj Chavan, the Chief Minister known for his no-nonsense attitude, is unimpressed by the debate started by politicos. Sources say the Chief Minister has already done an objective assessment of the issue, and his visit to the Mahalaxmi racecourse to personally give away the Chief Minister's Trophy on the last day of the just-concluded Mumbai racing season (April 28) is viewed as an endorsement of his favourable opinion about the race club and its pro-public activities.
Soul Searching
The Royal Western India Turf Club (RWITC) management, right now, may pin their hopes on the Chief Minister's sense of fairness to get them justice and to get the land lease renewed, but it is high time they also do some soul-searching as to why only they are repeatedly singled out for attack.
While the value of the prime land could be one major reason for these repeated attacks, the fact that despite tremendous potential Mumbai racing has consistently failed to generate decent revenue for the state's coffers cannot be ignored. The club, or its sympathisers, cannot paint all politicos with the same brush and try to dismiss them as devil's agents, surely not without undertaking a hard and truthful introspection as to why it (with about 1,000 horses and 70 race days in a year) contributes a paltry sum of merely some crore of rupees when Hong Kong racing (with 700 horses and about 80 days of racing in a year) generates nearly HK$ 10 billion for the state, donates another HK$ 1.73 billion to charities, before pocketing nearly HK$ 400 million profit for itself.
Hong Kong racing owes its super success to having an efficient and transparent monopoly betting system (Tote), offering excellent racing product (competitive racing, well-filled race cards and imaginative betting pools) and a high level of supervision to preserve integrity of racing. Like Hong Kong, racing in Maharashtra has great potential to generate massive revenue for the state, if only both the race club and the State government sit together and try to replicate the Hong Kong model in its totality. But for that to happen, the government must first abolish the ridiculously high betting tax, which is driving more than 90 per cent of the betting volume into illegal channels. On its part, the club too must scrap all its wrong policies, like allowing use of mobile phones, at a hefty price though. Which may be bringing in short term profit for them but which, in the long run, is certainly going to drain this sport completely dry of its most vital ingredient — the betting money.
If the CM has really studied the issue in detail, then he must have understood that it is much more important to give the sport of horse racing a new lease of life than to merely give the race club a new lease on the use of land. Then and only then, the sport of horse racing can create a win-win situation for all concerned. The club, like any other company (interestingly, it is incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956), can be used for generating massive turnover from its actual area of expertise (conducting races). The state treasury can then collect its massive dividend every year for the act of turning around a sick company into a goose that would lay golden eggs year after year.
High tax: Root of all evil
The Maharashtra government levies a hefty 20 per cent betting tax on tote and 30 per cent tax on betting with bookmakers, due to which the betting volumes drop so drastically that the RWITC is constrained to charge minimum 6 (on basic pools like Win/Place) and even more on multi-leg pools (like jackpot, etc) to make ends meet. This cascading effect results in as high as 44 per cent deduction in some cases. No wonder, more than 90 per cent of the betting money finds its way to illegal channels which charge zero tax.
The Hong Kong government charges only 10 per cent (after surcharge it gets to 11.7 per cent) betting duty which boosts gambling volumes to such astronomical extent that a mere 4 per cent commission brought in HK$ 3.7 billion in 2012-13, and everyone from the government (HK$ 9.9 billion) to the race club (total turnover from horse racing alone touched a record HK$ 84 billion) to punters (after rebates and incentives, 87 per cent of the pool was returned to the punting community) are happy as it is a win-win situation for all.

I know that sounds crazy, and I'll share exactly how to work less and partner more in a minute. But first, I wanted you to check in right now on the challenges below. Have you experienced any of these lately . . .
Only a little while ago, I stood exactly where you are, with the same challenges. Joint Ventures changed it ALL for me and my business, and it can do the same for you. Let me show you how.
Partnership is the currency of the new economy and the shortest path to sharing your message with more people, in less time.
The 'Get It Done Day' is your opportunity to explore four JV models and see which one is right for you. Pick one and explore the Process Map so that you can map out your next Juicy Joint Venture. Here's how the day will look…
SESSION 1. POSITION YOUR AUTHENTIC MESSAGE (10am ET). Learn how to position your essence, expertise and excitement so that it serves your Tribe and aligns with a BIGGER Vision. It is this alignment around a BIG idea that will create the most powerful partnerships.
SESSION 2. YOUR JV OFFER: FEE OR FREE (12pm ET). Next, let's get some ideas of how you'll package your expertise: for free and for a fee. You'll want to make sure that you've aligned your offer with the topic of your JV Event to reap the rewards.
SESSION 3. BE A JUICY JV HOST OR GUEST (2pm ET). There are lots of joint venture strategies, however, they all fall under two main categories: Guest or Host. There are complex and simple models, which strategy is best for you depends on where you are in your business, the level of support you have in place, and what your goals are for the joint venture. We'll explore four JV models and which JV goals position you for maximum impact and income.
SESSION 4. CRAFT YOUR 90-DAY JUICY JV ACTION MAP (4pm ET). Walk away from the day with your own action map. Clarify the topics and tribes you'll partner with and which specific Juicy JV Partners you are ready to connect with!
We'll begin each session with an overview of the topic and then we'll dive into feedback and support on your JV project. These all day intensives are a dynamic way to get into action. Don't put it off any longer! Get it done… plus meet other folks who are ON for Juicy JV's! This community is full of extraordinary entrepreneurs. You're sure to find some great JV partners here too.
Are YOU making any of these mistakes in your business? I know I did!
Here's the thing, in a conscious business there is NO place to hide. So if you still struggle with the boo-boo's above, it just means you need to serve more people! Then you can fine tune your business message and clearly identify your Tribe.
Business is about providing a service, or a product, that solves a problem brilliantly. It's about people, the problems they have and the solutions you deliver. When you're starting out you need to be 'in it to win it," like Randy Jackson, from American Idol says.
You just need to teach more, coach more, write more, speak more… To market like a conscious entrepreneur, serve more people! It's in taking massive action that the essence of your business will become clear and specific.
Whether you're a coach, author or service professional, there's nothing that will flip that abundance switch like moving from 'going after clients' to having clients clamoring for you… But, that doesn't start to happen until you connect with your tribe, establish your expertise and turbo charge your reach! You CAN turbo charge your business in the next few months.
If you're struggling in your business because you don't have a BIG enough reach to connect with your potential clients, then Juicy Joint Ventures is sure to increase your online visibility so that you can connect with those you are here to serve. I'd love to partner with you to build your tribe AND your business!
So… what positions me to be your guide on the Juicy JV Adventure?
In the past three years I have grown my business through the massive visibility afforded by Joint Ventures.
Some of the best ones have been 'INVITE ONLY JV's.' These only start happening as a result of endorsements of current JV partners to their circle of influence.
This IS the playground you want to be in to grow your business at lightning speed. Let me share some of my more recent JV's:
I do joint ventures in my sleep. If you'd like to learn how you can do it too, join the Juicy JV Jumpstart! This is a down and dirty training. I'm a hands on coach and mentor. We will get you into high gear.
This 12-lesson video training, along with workbook, will get you into action so that you can map out and implement your own Juicy Joint Ventures. Grow your business with the power of joint ventures and share your message with more people in less time.
What IS a Juicy JV? It's one where your partner, not only has all their technology in place, but is social media savvy and a blast to do business with. You are such a great fit that a JV feels like fun, not a business partnership. You have such great results from the partnership, personally and professionally, that you continue to partner and support one another on an ongoing basis. Wouldn't you rather be a Juicy JV?

When you partner with others you have two kinds of offers you can make: a free offer and a paid offer. You'll want to make sure you align your office with the topic of your Juicy JV.
You don't want to partner with just anyone. Yes, you can grow your list and you can generate income… but don't you want to connect with those FABulous partners that are partnership savvy and are easy to play with?
You'll learn how to research and identify which Experts are a great fit for you and your community.
The best ways to approach and land a one-to-one conversation with a potential JV Partner and the elements that MUST be included in the conversation in order for them to say YES! Plus… we'll cover in explicit detail how to craft your winning joint venture agreement: Generate income authentically and with utmost integrity.
You know you need to develop a 'know, like and trust' relationship with your Tribe. How do you inspire someone to get on your list? Create a valuable giveaway that addresses a top burning desire or challenge for your target market.
My friend Cindy Schulson has offer this paid product as a bonus for this program. If this is one of the pieces you're struggling with, here's how you can get started:
If you don't have a valuable giveaway, to attract your Tribe, you cannot build your list or your business.
Learn from the experts and implement strategies and tactics that will increase your visibility, generate income and position you as a Niche Authority.
Your investment in the Juicy JV Jumpstart Program can easily be recouped with ONE Joint Venture. Put your hand up for leading the movement that you're passionate about and serving more people through the power of community and conversation!
This is perfect for you whether you have existing elements in place, or if you're just starting to put this all together. I've been doing online marketing for 7 years , the last 3 I've been uber-successful. That's cause I finally figured out the secret sauce…. capturing the essence of YOU and your brilliance in the world with a NEED that your Tribe must fill right now.
P.S. Joint Ventures are a fast track strategy to build authority, increase visibility and position your message powerfully, while serving your corner of the World. It is a strategy that works like gangbusters to turbo-charge your impact and generate abundance!

Agent authorisation: apply using HMRC Online Services
How to set up authorisation online to deal with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) on a client's behalf.
If you act as a tax agent or adviser, you must have formal authorisation to deal with HMRC on your client's behalf.
The easiest way to do this is online. You and your client can set up the authorisation securely by using HMRC Online Services.
You'll need an agent code or reference number from HMRC for each type of agent authorisation. Make sure you have this before you attempt to set up authorisation online.
HMRC Online Services: how to set up agent authorisation
You'll need to register as an agent in HMRC Online Services and enrol for each service you need to use.
Once you've done that, your clients can authorise you to act on their behalf for each service.
The services are:
- Self Assessment for Agents
- Corporation Tax for Agents
- PAYE for Agents - for PAYE for employers and Construction Industry Scheme (CIS)
- VAT for Agents - to submit clients' VAT returns and manage their VAT records
- VAT EU Refunds for Agents
- VAT EC Sales List and Reverse Charge Sales List
- VAT Mini One Stop Shop for Agents
- Notification of Vehicle Arrivals
- Machine Games Duty for Agents
- Gambling Tax for Agents
You can also register for the Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings online service.
Once you're authorised, you can use HMRC Online Services to:
- manage your client lists
- file returns
- update a client's details
- receive information about your client from HMRC
You can also contact HMRC by phone or post on behalf of your client.
Online administrators and assistants
The first person to set up your agent online account will automatically be set as an 'administrator'.
The administrator can set up other administrators or assistants on your agent account by logging into the Government Gateway and choosing 'add an administrator' or 'add an assistant'.
You can use this to manage your client lists and split work across your organisation, for example you can set up more than one client list and allocate them to different administrators or assistants.
What administrators can do
Administrators can perform tasks online on behalf of your organisation. They can:
- access an online service your organisation is enrolled for
- enrol for and de-enrol from online services
- set up or delete other administrators
- set up or delete online assistants
- assign services to other administrators or assistants
- change their own registration details - password, user name or email address
What assistants can do
Assistants must be set up by your organisation's administrators. They can only access services assigned to them by an administrator. Assistants can:
- access an online service your organisation is enrolled for - if an administrator has assigned the service to them
- change their own registration details - password, user name or email address
If you can't set up agent authorisation online
It's easiest to set up your authorisations as an agent online, but if you can't you'll need to get your client to complete one of HMRC's paper authorisation forms.
You can't set up agent authorisation online for:
- tax credits clients
- individuals who aren't in Self Assessment
- Self Assessment clients who have a British Forces Post Office address
You'll need to use the paper forms for these clients.

Another idea that is cute is to have a basket of stamped postcards instead of a guest book so that each of your guests write out a postcard to you and your hubby. Then have these mailed to you after the event - so you'll have something fun to read when you get home from your honeymoon!

Capital Medical Center honors longtime board membersJanuary 12, 2012
Capital Medical Center recently honored three longtime board members, Mrs. Wendy Holden, Ms. Janie Easter, and Dr. Angela Bowen, for their exceptional years of service. Providing leadership to the hospital has been a gracious investment of time and expertise that has transcended into many successes over the years for the hospital. With their board terms expiring in January of 2012, Capital Medical Center held a reception to pay tribute and express their appreciation for their outstanding service.
In 1992, Mrs. Holden joined the board and has given 20 years of service to include serving as board chair, vice-chair, and on the Board Quality Committee. She has represented Capital Medical Center at countless events and played an instrumental role during the transition of the hospital from ownership of HCA to Capella in 2005.
Joining the board in 1997, Ms. Easter has served for the past 15 years. She also played an invaluable role during the transition of ownership in 2005, as well as throughout various leadership transitions.
Dr. Bowen, a founding board member, was influential in the hospital's early years. She has supported the hospital from its opening in 1985 through the growth and expansion of services Capital Medical Center has experienced today. She rejoined the hospital board in 2009 and most recently served a two-year term of service.
Capital Medical Center is currently represented by a twelve member, voluntary board comprised of community members, physicians, and the hospital CEO. The hospital's board members serve a critical role in oversight of and providing direction to improving quality of care and patient safety.
"I am very appreciative of Mrs. Holden's, Ms. Easter's, and Dr. Bowen's significant contributions to Capital Medical Center. Their commitment to our success has been outstanding and it has truly been an honor having them serve on our board," said Jim Geist, Capital Medical Center chief executive officer.

Discussion in 'Saltwater' started by Theron, Jun 15, 2014.
has a warden ever looked at the line weight of anyone's fly rod?
I fished with an 8WT before I had a 6wt and no one said anything.
What if you are fishing an 8 wt line on a 6 wt rod?
Well if OMJ was a warden I know he would give out a ticket for that.
Seems to me that anytime I'm SRC fishing I may appear to be rigged for Salmon fishing. Especially given the general fly size (baitfish patterns) I fish. The only thing that may separate my SRC rig from a Salmon rig would be hook size.
I remember back in MT where targeting Bull Trout is against the law, so fishing big streamers throws a red flag so to speak. Problem is, I hardly fish anything but streamers on rivers and Westslope Cutties, Rainbow Trout and Brown Trout all like chunky streamers, so I could be blamed for targeting Bull Trout and yes, we did catch them as well but we CandR all our fish anyways.
Unless super obvious like throwing herring I find it would be hard to judge a fly fishers' target, especially with some people only having one rod. Shady business.
I totally agree with that. However, if you are upsizing your gear just so you can better handle a fish you are not supposed to be targeting, I'm pretty sure you're targeting that species. That doesn't mean you'd get a ticket for it, but you have to know you aren't 100% abiding by the regulations.
That's not cool Nick. NO one should EVER under/over line a rod under ANY circumstance!
You would have to find one first.
I think some are missing the point. An angler knows whether he is targeting salmon or not and the concern should be not whether they might get a ticket but rather is it an acceptable angler ethic to target a species that is closed. It really is up to the individual angler and their own ethic.
Using a five weight or six weight rod, a single #6 or smaller fly,and 4X to 3X tippets, we stay out of trouble legitimately.
bingo, one has to self police themselves because there is no chance of being busted based on line weight, tippet strength, or other nonsense especially since the likelihood of being stopped by a warden is about the same as being struck by lightning.
the problem is that washington seems unable to allow targeted salmon c&r fisheries in the saltwater. this is too bad as other areas of the country allow one to fish for species that are closed for harvest just as long as you release them. it creates confusion with all of the differing marine areas and would have minimal impacts if selective gear were required when harvest was closed. i think back to last summer in june when i could legally fish for coho on the canadian side of swiftsure (c&r only since i couldn't land the fish back in a US port) but if they happened to cross a dotted line on the chart those same fish were off-limits to fishing. seemed an odd situation to me but i was happy to just be on the water fishing for coho without needing to harvest them. this happens regularly where one marine area is open for harvest and fishing but a 1/4 mile away it is shut down to everything but cutthroat and flounder.
it seems like we manage for poachers and scofflaws and not the majority of anglers who would either enjoy some non-harvest opportunity or wait for the harvest season to open.
heres a giggle when the wenatchee first started that #14 hook size stuff for whitefish a local tied up leeches on a #14 streamer hook well he was fishing for whitefish but could not keep the "red fish" off the hook (steelhead) in fact the warden did check his gear and got as much of a laugh out of it as the guy fishing as the regs only said size#14 no wording for gap or length, but he did pass along to him that maybe just maybe he was stretching the rule envelope a bit
I must have really bad luck then. I've been checked by a warden 6 times so far this year.
I've been checked twice in my life, last I was with Dave on a kayak at Point Def. They showed up in a boat and checked.
Was checked once last year for a license, as the guy walked away he stopped and asked if I was pinching off my barbs. I said yes and he just kept walking. I guess I look like a law abiding guy?
I get checked 3 or so times a year. (Not counting 2 boat inspections this year from staters) 80+ days on the water a year, participating in about 15 different fisheries. I will often see them but they are too busy to hit everyone on the water. They sometimes will watch from a far as well. I wish they did check more fly fisherman because there are many that think they are above the law. Even in regards to barbed hooks for steelhead and its a damn shame.
The game wardens have always been stretched for time and coverage. And ever since the budget crunches hit, the game wardens are working harder than ever, with less resources.
