I have a unique tax simplification proposal. I haven't heard it discussed or proposed anywhere else. I submit it is something to think about. What if we did away with the deduction for depreciation of real estate?
According to the IRS, depreciation is "an income tax deduction that allows a taxpayer to recover the cost or other basis of certain property. It is an annual allowance for the wear and tear, deterioration, or obsolescence of the property".
Let's look at depreciation from the point of view of the Income Statement. Basically, if you purchase an asset (i.e. equipment, a vehicle, or real estate) that will last more than one year you spread the cost of the asset over its "useful life". You purchase a new computer. You certainly do not purchase a new computer each year – you expect that it will continue to provide service for several years. So you divide the cost of the computer over a period of years to reflect this fact, and to properly report the "economic reality" of the purchase.
If you deducted the full cost of the computer in the year of purchase this would distort the true cost of doing business. Since you generally purchase a new computer every five years, claiming a deduction of 1/5 of the cost each year "more better" represents your cost of operations. Thus depreciation is used to "recover the cost or other basis of certain property".
Another way to look at depreciation is from the Balance Sheet perspective. When you purchase an asset that asset has value to you. You trade the asset of cash for a computer. If you sold your business the value of the computer would be included in the value of the business. As an asset ages its value drops. A two-year old computer does not have the same value in the market as a comparable brand new computer. Depreciation is used to reflect the drop in value of the asset. Thus depreciation is used to reflect the "wear and tear, deterioration, or obsolescence of the property."
If we look at economic reality, a building has a life of much more than 27.5 or 39 years. And, for the most part, the value of real estate does not drop in value over the years. If properly maintained its value will generally increase.
For all intents and purposes real estate does not "depreciate". You do not replace a building every few years because it no longer provides the same service or function. And the value of real estate as a component of the value of a business does not drop as it ages. So why do we allow a tax deduction for the depreciation of real estate?
Doing away with this deduction would provide "Uncle Sam", and corresponding state uncles or aunts, with additional tax money up front, instead of having to wait years or decades to finally collect it. And bottom line - doing away with the depreciation deduction would more correctly tax the actual economic activity.
Recent court cases and IRS regulations have more clearly defined the difference between a capital improvement that is depreciated and a repair that is currently deducted, moving away from the dollar amount as the criteria and towards the nature of the expense as the determining factor. Under my suggestion there would also be no depreciation of true capital improvements – they would simply be added to cost basis.

One of the two members of our Hero Labs support team has passed away. I've reached out to the other for some words to share with the community, which follow:
In the early morning hours of 5-15-2014, Jon Douglas Compton, my dear friend, housemate, and favorite GM, died in his sleep. To the Ponyfinder community, he was one of the two people working hard behind the scenes to code and complete the Hero Finder files to help complete David's amazing vision of Everglow. I was the other person.
Our work with the Ponyfinder team would never have happened without Jon. He was the one who first discovered Ponyfinder and he was the one who urged me to start learning Hero Finder coding so that we could contribute to the community. Once I got a few steps going, Jon rolled up his sleeves and learned the code as well so that we could finish it before the grand debut.
To me, he was my best friend, my favorite GM, and a close member of my family. To honor his memory, I will continue the work he started and continue to do as much Hero Lab work as Ponyfinder needs. Thank you.

The Central Connecticut softball team dropped a narrow 3-2 decision to the #25 South Florida Bulls on Tuesday evening in Tampa, FL. Sophomore Hannah Cooper posted her first home run of the season in the top of the seventh to tie the score 2-2. With the loss, the Blue Devils fall to 9-6 overall.
Junior Laura Messina pitched her eighth complete game of the season, tallying four strikeouts while allowing eight hits, three runs and walking just one. With the loss, Messina's record falls to 8-4.
The Bulls (26-8) notched the first run of the game in the bottom of the fourth on a two-out solo homer from Lee Ann Spivey.
Central threatened to tie it up in the top of the fifth. Freshman Alexis Debrosse led off with a sliding triple and was followed with a walk by freshman Sarah Drazin, putting two on the corners with two outs. The pair was left stranded on base however, when senior Arielle Bruno grounded out to USF pitcher Sara Nevins.
In the top of the sixth, junior Kat Malcolm led off with a stand-up double, forcing a USF pitcher change. Malcolm advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt off the bat of sophomore Evie Rentzel. With two outs, sophomore Eileen Purcell drilled a single to left center to plate Malcolm and even the score 1-1.
USF matched Malcolm's run with another solo homer with one out in the bottom of the sixth, reclaiming the lead 2-1.
Central responded in the top of the seventh. Sophomore Hannah Cooper blasted a solo homer, her first of the season, to lead off the inning and make it 2-2 with no outs.
The Bulls scored on a single in the bottom of the seventh to claim the win.
The Blue Devils posted four hits on the day, drew three walks and left six runners on base. The Bulls tallied eight hits and left four on base.
Malcolm, Purcell, Debrosse and Cooper led the CCSU offense with one hit apiece. Purcell and Cooper also each posted one RBI.
Central is scheduled to return to action this Friday, March 21, at the Delaware State Tournament in Dover, DE.

Anyone else hear about this surprise?!
Anyone else hear about this surprise?!
"Nine Inch Nails are set to tape a performance on Austin City Limits on November 4. The show will air on PBS stations across the country in 2014."
Well, I should have put two & two together earlier. Since the festivals wouldn't have the full production, the tour personnel identified specific items that would be needed for the festival shows and labeled them as such. Turns out they also flagged "ACL" as well, but I didn't make the connection until now.
Fuck yessssss
wow. really hope some ETSers (is that what we're called?) can make it. and provide the rest of us with some spoilers. supposedly, attendance is limited to 800 people.
What kind of show is this? A festival? Tension or festival production? I hope that doesn't mean we won't get a live dvd release.
Last edited by Fist Fuck; 10-29-2013 at 01:03 PM.
has anyone seen any similar bands on ACL? how has their shows compared to their regular concerts? i've only seen folk-type groups.
Edit: & here's a shot of the current stage setup for TV tapings I found on Wikipedia
So it'll probably just be the band set up on this stage, probably none of the Tension production. I think the whole point of playing Austin City Limits is playing Austin City Limits, with, uh, all the Limit-ations that brings.
Last edited by skullboy0; 10-29-2013 at 01:54 PM. Reason: added pic of the stage instead of making a new post
Oh god the impossible pain of not being able to get there. A little too far to drive on a Sunday and fares a little too much. I hope some of you get in and tell the rest of us everything.
I registered for the drawing, so here's hoping.
Being just a few towns over from Austin, I was all over this like white on muthafuckin rice. I've always wanted to go to an ACL Live show and going to one for my favorite band of all time ever would be...indescribable
OMG, I'm fucking DVRing that man. More NIN on TV is good!!!!!
Reading up on this- looks like every show is 60 minutes, and I'm guessing that's a rule stickler so all the shows are unique but the same. (Did that make any sense?)
Kind of glad it's airing next year, will be something to look forward to with them switching up from Tension to festival to Vegas in the coming weeks. (NIN overload)
Woah...really hoping for a way into this one. The stage is only big enough to fit the band, not much else. They typically close off the upper balcony for tapings, but open it up for larger acts. I imagine NIN will get the full ~2500 capacity.
Per http://acltv.com/faq/
What are these live streaming events?
Did you know that while tapings can last up to two hours, actual Austin City Limits episodes broadcast on PBS are only 57 minutes long? This means we are only able to include 10-12 songs per episode! In some cases that time is shared between two artists, meaning we may only be able to include 5-6 songs from the set! We collaborate with the artists to choose a mix of songs that best showcases the performance, but what about the rest of the songs?
This is why ACL Live Streams are so important; they're a ONE TIME chance to catch the entire show, as it's happening, in High Definition! You finally have a chance to see every song from these historic nights, produced and mixed by our award winning ACL crew! You can watch live streams on our YouTube channel. Be sure to subscribe to our channel so you don't miss any!
Live Streams are a one-time deal! I repeat, you can only watch the live stream once, so stay tuned to our website, mailing list, and Facebook page for important taping and streaming announcements. If you miss it, you'll have to wait for the broadcast on PBS. Moving forward we're doing our best to bring you as many live streams of tapings as possible.
Will you ever repeat the program that includes (insert your favorite artist here)?
After an episode is produced, public television stations have rights to broadcast it four times in three years. Unless the program is still within its three-year window, it is not available for broadcast.
Are CDs or DVDs available?
As the programs are produced for public broadcasting and commercial release is not the priority, rights obligations have made issuing the programs on CD or DVD a challenge. Not an insurmountable one, however: KLRU has recently partnered with New West Records to begin releasing selected episodes from the archives as the Live From Austin TX series. Information on the current catalog can be found here.
Record this motherfucker.
There will be no fan recording of this, you do it, and you'll be kicked out. They film this for the series. Tapings are for the audience who are selected by a lottery system from the website. Judging by this one, very few people will be selected as tickets get handed out to people in the know. The special will be an hour long, but the show itself is usually longer. I saw Neko Case play it a few weeks back and she played for two hours. Sometimes artists will redo a song if they feel they missed something the first time around. Probably only 800 to 1000 will be in attendance, definitely no tour stage since it's small and they'll be in San Antonio the next day. It's not just for folk music, Austin City Limits has specialized in bringing together some of the most sought after acts in music for nearly 40 years, whoever said that borderline offended not me, but the great people I'm close to who help put this taping together.
i think Corona Radiata was talking about recording the broadcast. but if not, yeah, this is a free show where they obviously don't want tapers, so, i wouldn't try it.
Yes, I was talking about recording the internet stream (assuming there is one).
All I can remember about ACL was being tortured by it on PBS before Doctor Who would air when I was a little kid. I remember a bunch of hicks playing fiddles and blowing on jugs etc, lol. Just a bunch of country and folk singers. So it's pretty fucking awesome NIN will be performing on this show! First time in my life I'll look forward to Austin City Limits!
Pearl Jam play ACL in 2009. If I remember correctly, the broadcast took about 6 months to air after the show. I had it on one of my DVRs before it blew up. Here's one of the songs so you can get an idea of what their setup was. The backdrop is the same as the one posted above.
For some reason I chuckle a little thinking about NIN on PBS.
It doesn't look like this will be streamed.
ACL had an upcoming event listing for Portugal The Man before their stream today. After their stream, it now shows the next upcoming event as Sarah Jarosz on Nov. 10.
I am so jealous of anyone that can get into this show. I've only seen Wilco and Willie Nelson at a taping, not to mention several other artists for regular shows. The sound is great and there isn't a bad seat in the house. The stage is only a foot or two off the ground.
Tickets for tapings usually get you a standing spot on the floor. Upstairs is mostly for VIPs and company sponsored booths. So don't be surprised if you see some empty seats up in the balcony.
Last edited by Dinki Di; 10-30-2013 at 11:33 PM.
That's good to know. Last time we won our tickets through wilcoworld.net, not acl.com. We arrived 20 minutes and stood behind one of the camera set-ups.

Iris species
Plants of Home and Garden
Full sun and light, rich, well-drained soil preferred; alkaline soil often appreciated. Set bulbs or rhizomes some 3" deep in late summer, fall. May dig plants in fall, trim leaves back to 2-3" above the roots, and divide rhizomes or bulbs as necessary prior to replanting at least 1-2' apart, every few years. Survives transplanting well
May be started from seed in fall, sown 1/4" deep, though cultivars will not come true from seed. Germination quite irregular. Can often be propagated by bulb chipping, also. Many hardy to zone 3
Bearded irises, including Iris germanica, Iris florentina, or orris root, Iris variegata, and other species and numerous cultivars, often do well in drier areas
Iris ensata, previously Iris kaempferi, does not do well with alkaline soils, likes moisture but should not be kept wet. Juno irises may be sown or planted in fall, hardy typically to zone 8-9. Iris cristata, crested iris, is shade and moisture loving, does well in woodland
Further information is available on blue and yellow water irises, Iris versicolor and Iris pseudoacorus, and other Iris species, under Water Plants

Spill containment stops spills, contains or blocks them! That can be done in various ways with many of our products. We fill requests for spill blockers, spill barriers and absorbent socks.
Primary containment would be a tank holding the liquid. Secondary containment comes in when the tank fails and starts leaking.

MEET THE FOLKS behind maritime commerce, a trillion-dollar-per-year industry that drives the global economy. Seafarers and inland river mariners who work on the world's oceans and on the American inland river system sometimes go unnoticed, but their efforts make a big difference in our world.
The Challenges
Mariners encounter many dangers and difficulties unique to their profession. For mariners, working conditions remain remarkably similar to what they were when SCI was founded in 1834: piracy, limited access to shoreside services, and isolation. The needs of the average seafarer have also evolved with the growth of maritime commerce. Today's mariner works in a relentless environment, experiencing problems relating to 21st-century technology, economic demands, and security concerns.
These men and women function as part of an international merchant marine. Without mariners' service agencies like the Seamen's Church Institute (SCI), no other far-reaching, formal support infrastructure would exist for these hardworking people. SCI performs a critical role, providing mariners with the assistance they need far from home and acting as their advocate when they need help.
The Institute
The Seamen's Church Institute (SCI) serves the hardworking men and women laboring on the world's oceans and inland rivers. With their work, these individuals fuel the global economy and make our way of life possible as they spend months at sea or on rivers away from their families, friends, and homes.
With close relationships to governments and industry, SCI has shaped its support services to meet the challenges facing today's mariner. From the provision of hospitality services at our Centers to operating the world's only full-time and free legal aid program for merchant mariners, training mariners on world-class simulators used in SCI's maritime education centers, and even delivering handknit holiday gifts for mariners, SCI provides an indispensible array of services to mariners working around the world.
Get Involved
Because the Seamen's Church Institute (SCI) serves a diverse population of mariners, we value the varied contributions of supporters.
SCI depends upon financial assistance in order to continue serving so many people. If you would like to make a donation in support of SCI's work, click the green DONATE button on this page.
Every day, volunteers of varying ages and abilities assist SCI as we work around the world. Some people volunteer through regular visits to SCI centers; others serve in their own churches or homes. There are many ways volunteers can contribute to the work of SCI. Learn more here.

Amgen Forward Looking StatementsThis news release contains forward-looking statements that are based on management's current expectations and beliefs and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including estimates of revenues, operating margins, capital expenditures, cash, other financial metrics, expected legal, arbitration, political, regulatory or clinical results or practices, customer and prescriber patterns or practices, reimbursement activities and outcomes and other such estimates and results. Forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, including those discussed below and more fully described in the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reports filed by Amgen, including Amgen's most recent annual report on Form 10-K and any subsequent periodic reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K. Please refer to Amgen's most recent Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K for additional information on the uncertainties and risk factors related to our business. Unless otherwise noted, Amgen is providing this information as of Oct. 4, 2013, and expressly disclaims any duty to update information contained in this news release.
No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual results may differ materially from those we project. Discovery or identification of new product candidates or development of new indications for existing products cannot be guaranteed and movement from concept to product is uncertain; consequently, there can be no guarantee that any particular product candidate or development of a new indication for an existing product will be successful and become a commercial product. Further, preclinical results do not guarantee safe and effective performance of product candidates in humans. The complexity of the human body cannot be perfectly, or sometimes, even adequately modeled by computer or cell culture systems or animal models. The length of time that it takes for us to complete clinical trials and obtain regulatory approval for product marketing has in the past varied and we expect similar variability in the future. We develop product candidates internally and through licensing collaborations, partnerships and joint ventures. Product candidates that are derived from relationships may be subject to disputes between the parties or may prove to be not as effective or as safe as we may have believed at the time of entering into such relationship. Also, we or others could identify safety, side effects or manufacturing problems with our products after they are on the market. Our business may be impacted by government investigations, litigation and product liability claims. If we fail to meet the compliance obligations in the corporate integrity agreement between us and the U.S. government, we could become subject to significant sanctions. We depend on third parties for a significant portion of our manufacturing capacity for the supply of certain of our current and future products and limits on supply may constrain sales of certain of our current products and product candidate development.
In addition, sales of our products are affected by the reimbursement policies imposed by third-party payers, including governments, private insurance plans and managed care providers and may be affected by regulatory, clinical and guideline developments and domestic and international trends toward managed care and healthcare cost containment as well as U.S. legislation affecting pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement. Government and others' regulations and reimbursement policies may affect the development, usage and pricing of our products. In addition, we compete with other companies with respect to some of our marketed products as well as for the discovery and development of new products. We believe that some of our newer products, product candidates or new indications for existing products, may face competition when and as they are approved and marketed. Our products may compete against products that have lower prices, established reimbursement, superior performance, are easier to administer, or that are otherwise competitive with our products. In addition, while we routinely obtain patents for our products and technology, the protection offered by our patents and patent applications may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented by our competitors and there can be no guarantee of our ability to obtain or maintain patent protection for our products or product candidates. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to produce commercially successful products or maintain the commercial success of our existing products. Our stock price may be affected by actual or perceived market opportunity, competitive position, and success or failure of our products or product candidates. Further, the discovery of significant problems with a product similar to one of our products that implicate an entire class of products could have a material adverse effect on sales of the affected products and on our business and results of operations.
The scientific information discussed in this news release related to our product candidates is preliminary and investigative. Such product candidates are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and no conclusions can or should be drawn regarding the safety or effectiveness of the product candidates.

Samsung, today, announced that its highly popular Galaxy S brand of flagship handsets have sold more than 100 million units worldwide. The 100 million mark comes after 2 years and 7 months since Samsung initially launched the Galaxy S in May 2010.
The Galaxy S III, which is currently Samsung's most popular handset, has already sold more than 40 million units within 7 months of its release, and is selling at a whopping 190,000 units per day rate.
The S3's predecessor, the Galaxy S II, has also been selling briskly more than a year after its launch and has managed to reach the 40 million mark in 20 months. The original Galaxy S, Galaxy S III Mini and other Galaxy S branded handsets have also contributed significantly in making Samsung reach the 100 million sales figure from the supply side.
Keep in mind that the 100 million sales figure is from the supply side, and does not relate to units actually sold.

FIRST: If you are moving your site, DO NOT UPGRADE AT THE SAME TIME!!! Do your upgrade BEFORE moving, or AFTER moving, but never DURING the move. Otherwise you'll typically run into problems that can't be quickly resolved because you've got too many server issues confused into the picture. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
1. On your NEW host, create a new MySQL database. Note the username, password, database name, and host name (usually localhost).2. Go to your NEW host and upload (FTP) a fresh NEW install using the same version files that you built your other site on.... this will make sure that you get the proper settings in your configure.php files...
While installing, allow it to install the demo products, so that you can test and be sure that it's working nicely.
a. Install (IMPORTANT: when asked about the database-table-prefix during Database-Setup, use the same prefix that your old store uses. You'll find that in the DB_PREFIX setting of your old store's configure.php file.)
b. Test it.
c. Make backups of the NEW server's /includes/configure.php and /admin/includes/configure.php files by downloading them (FTP) to your PC.
3. On your OLD host, Make a COMPLETE backup of your DATABASE and STORE.
a. Use either the "Backup MySQL Database" contribution to do the backup of your database, or use phpMyAdmin to export your entire database ... include the "DROP" tables command, and under Data, choose "Complete Inserts" and "Extended Inserts".
Save the SQL file to your PC for later. Click here for tips on using phpMyAdmin to export database.
b. Download all your old site's files via FTP (or if you have the option, zip them up on the server and download the zip)
4. Now upload your OLD files over the NEW files on the NEW server, WITH TWO EXCEPTIONS: Don't overwrite the /includes/configure.php and /NAME_OF_YOUR_RENAMED_ADMIN_FOLDER/includes/configure.php files on the NEW server.5. Go back to phpMyAdmin on your NEW server.
a. Select your NEW database (that you installed the NEW Zen Cart into)
b. DROP all the tables. (Check them all and scroll down and on "With Selected..." select DROP. Confirm Yes.
c. Click on the SQL tab across the top (or "Import" on newer phpMyAdmin configurations) and click Browse.
d. Select the SQL file you made in step 3a when you exported your old database, and click Go.
6. If you're running ZC v1.5.1 or older, grab the "Fix_Cache_Key" utility to reset your Admin->Sessions->Session Directory key so that it uses the proper folder path for your new server: www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=8 (ONLY for v1.5.1 or older)
Simply upload the file to your NEW Zen Cart folder and open fix_cache_key.php in your browser. It will give you status messages. Delete fix_cache_key.php when you're finished.
7. You're done. Open your store and admin areas to see it all ready to go!
8. You should review all your email settings in Admin->Configuration->Email Options -- especially any SMTP server/account settings, and of course all your email addresses.
9. Once your new site is up and running, you should DELETE the database and all the PHP files/folders, etc from the OLD server. There's no point leaving that data behind for prying eyes or worse.
A Note About NameServers And Timing
On a store that's taking live orders, you need to prevent orders from being taken in the old site once you've made your backup to move to the new site.
So, make the following adjustments to the steps above:
a) BEFORE taking the backup in Step 3, first login to your old site's admin, and set Admin->Configuration->Website Maintenance->Down For Maintenance = TRUE.
b) AFTER step 5 or 6, login to your NEW store's admin, and set Down For Maintenance = FALSE.
c) NEVER disable down-for-maintenance in the OLD site. Once you've copied the database from it, you don't want to take any more orders in the old site, else they'll be lost.
d) Once your nameserver updates have propogated (up to 48 hours), you should be able to delete the files and database from the old server.
NOTE: This means your store will appear as down-for-maintenance until the DNS/Nameserver details are propogated to the region where your customers connect online. Once the propagation is done, they will see the new site on the new server, and be able to place orders.
If you know 3 or 4 days or maybe a week ahead of time that you're going to do this sort of move, get your old hosting company to change the TTL (Time To Live) setting on your domain DNS settings to 240 (4 hours). This will help speed the effects of propagation.
Then, a couple days after you've completed the move, and propagation is completed, change the TTL back to normal values (whatever your new hosting company prefers to use).

Jasmine Sambac 10 %, Absolute
$3.00 – $75.00
Our jasmine sambac absolute 10% is diluted in organic jojoba. It is the same jasmine sambac we offer undiluted. Its scent is cool and sensuously fresh; the sweet essence of jasmine sambac's moon-colored flowers caressing the air. Jasmine sambac is a related species of the common Jasmine, but its otherworldly fragrance, far from common, is a lighter, fresher version of Jasminum grandiflorum, and is a specialty perfume component par excellence.
Botanical Name: Jasminum sambac
Origin: India
Part Used: Flowers
Process: Solvent Extract
Plant Description: Native to subtropical regions of southern Asia; cultivated in India, France, the Pacific Islands, and the Arabian Peninsula. Jasminum sambac is an evergreen climbing shrub that grows to a height of 10 feet and thrives in varying climate and soil conditions, but generally in a mild tropical climate in well-drained loamy soil with ample sun and water supply, regular feedings, and biannual pruning. Propagation is usually by cuttings, grafting, seeds, or other methods. A flower count ample enough for harvest starts in the second to third year of growth. Because the blossoms are easily damaged and quickly lose their scent and wither, the production of the concrete the first part of the extraction process is usually carried out at or near the site of harvest; the concrete can then be shipped to another location, often to France, for the second phase of production to achieve the absolute. The yield of Jasmine sambac absolute is even lower than that of (and thus more costly than) Jasmine Absolute, requiring many more fresh flowers of Jasmine sambac to obtain the same amount extracted from Jasmine grandiflorum.
Oil Description: Orange-brown or reddish-brown viscous liquid with an intensely floral, rich, sweet and tenacious aroma, a fresh, somewhat green top note, and mildly fruity tea- or hay-like undertones. Jasmine oils obtained from different countries of production tend to have unique nuances of aroma due to topographic and geographic influences. For example, those jasmine oils originating from flowers grown in high altitudes (e.g., France) often have a fresh and somewhat diffusive top note, while those originating from flowers of hot climates tend to possess much warmer, sensuous, and/or subtle indolic or pheromone-like notes. Though this is not always the case, the quality of the aroma also very much depends on timing of the harvest, how fresh the blossoms are at the time of extraction, the quality of solvents used, and the expertise employed in the extraction process. Jasmine sambacs aroma is almost too strong when undiluted, but when well diluted, it is the cool and sensuously fresh, sweet essence of Jasmine sambacs moon-colored flowers caressing the air.
Historical/Traditional Uses: (More to come)
Applications (Uses and Indications): In aromatherapy, Jasmine sambac is recommended for external use only, due to the presence, albeit minute, of the solvent used in the extraction process. Many consider that the solvent residue offsets the medicinal value of the oil. However, the aromas effect by inhalation can profoundly influence emotions, being quite capable, sometimes instantaneously, of lifting moods, dispelling fear, reducing tension, instilling confidence, defeating doubt, encouraging relaxed physical awareness, inducing a state of euphoria, and opening up one to ones sensuality, thus helping to bring emotional blocks to resolution. It is no wonder that Jasmine has long been known for its gentle effectiveness in issues of frigidity and impotence. In perfumery, Jasmine sambac is used to impart sophisticated freshness, add a floral note to, or exalt and round-off perfume compositions, and little is needed for these effects. It is considered a middle note that blends well with a multitude and variety of perfumes components, but especially with bergamot and other citrus oils, clary sage, geranium, mandarin, neroli, orange blossom, palmarosa, patchouli, rose, sandalwood, and ylang ylang.
Contraindications (Safety and Precautions): Jasmine sambac absolute is non-irritating, non-sensitizing, and non-toxic.
Standard Safety Precautions: Always dilute essential oils before using. Keep essential oils out of the eyes and mucous membranes; in case of contact, DO NOT use water, instead place a drop or two of vegetable oil on a tissue to gently wipe out of eye or off area of contact. In severe cases, seek professional help immediately. Keep out of the reach of children. In case of ingestion, call 911 immediately.

CHICAGO-22-year-old Percy Love was charged with animal cruelty after police claimed that he took a running start and kicked a kitten 15 to 18 feet in the air and then raising his hands in the air, mimicking the sign referees make when a field goal is good in football.
The cat survived the kicking and officers brought it to an Animal Care facility.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
The officers immediately arrested a laughing 22-year-old Percy Love of the 6500 block of South Maplewood Avenue after the Monday afternoon kick of the small black cat, police said.
He told the arresting officers: "This is my cat, Nightmare. He is tough, we play like that all the time. It's just a cat," police said.

Peach & Blackberry Crumble with Lavender!
I should eat more fruit. I know this. I am trying. We've received many a peach in the last few weeks of our CSA box…and peaches happen to fit into that category of fruit that I know I should like…but they just don't make my top five list. Especially the whole fuzzy skin thing…I have a little trouble with fuzzy fruit. So…what better way to prepare our multitude of peaches than to peel and make a crumble out of them. Even I like fruit when you put crunchy goodness on top and bake it.
Peeling peaches is much like tomatoes…and highly satisfying. With a paring knife, score the bottom of the peach. Drop into boiling water for at least 30 seconds and probably no more than 2 minutes. The time it takes depends entirely on how ripe the fruit is. (for tomatoes…you should never need more than 45 seconds) Pull them out with a slotted spoon and drop them immediately into ice water. Once they've cooled, using a paring knife…and being extremely careful…grab the corner of the skin where you scored it and peel.
The skin should come off fairly easily…if not, let it sit in the ice water for a little longer…or dunk it back in the boiling water for another bit of time and then back into the ice water.
Despite not loving eating peaches…I think they're a beautiful fruit and somewhat unexpected.
I wanted to make this a bit different from the standard fruit crumble, with a little something you can't quite place…but still it adds just enough mystery to stick out in your memory.
Enter: Lavender
Toss the peaches with sugar, brown sugar, a little cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, salt and flour.
Secret ingredient time…add the lavender.
I also had just enough blackberries to toss those into the mix as well.
For me simpler is better with desserts. Did you know that the word dessert comes from the French verb desservir, which means to clear away. So at the completion of a meal, the plates would be cleared away…and room would be made for small tastes of sweets, and so dessert was born. Fun fact.
I would argue that the topping for any crumble is more almost more important than the fruit itself. Based on my experience, it is difficult to get the right consistency for the topping, it can't be soggy, or too floury, it shouldn't be greasy, or too granular, it should have some substance, but combine well with the top layer of fruit. I have finally found the secret. Previously, I has always cut the flour/sugar mixture with butter or shortening. Don't be fooled, that is wrong…wrong wrong wrong.
I stumbled upon this fabulous blog while researching my topping options and I finally found the solution to my topping issues. Instead of butter, add one egg well beaten and mix it in with your hands. Then once it is sprinkled atop the fruit, melt some butter (you thought I'd leave it out…?) and spoon it over the top of the dish before putting it into the oven at 375° for 30-40 minutes.
For the topping: (courtesy of Orangette)
Scant ¾ cup granulated sugar (about 4 to 4 ½ ounces)
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. baking powder
¼ tsp. kosher salt
1 egg, beaten well
7 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
It's just as delicious at room temperature as it is warm and a coop of vanilla bean ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream would be a welcome addition.

Driving past sign after sign, residents are curious and frustrated. Is the need real? Is the begging bad for the city? And can we rein it in?
Editor's note: This is one in a series of stories looking at homelessness in our community.
The sun-lined faces of panhandlers holding torn cardboard signs peer into your car window on the drive to work. Someone is standing in the median, waiting to collect a few bucks as you head to the gym at night. On a weekend trip to the park, people hold signs telling you they're:
Willing To Work.
After years of efforts to reduce homelessness in Sarasota, city leaders and police are stymied. They lifted a law against soliciting money from people in vehicles because it infringed on free speech, and now, Sarasota's street corners have become an ATM.
On a downtown median, panhandlers can bag $20 an hour in donations. In December, before the rule was lifted, holding a sign there could have cost someone $500 and up to 60 days in jail.
Residents who have watched the turn of events are curious and frustrated. And the rumors are churning:
People work in shifts. They make big money and drink coffee at Starbucks. They've been bused in from St. Petersburg and Tampa. The ACLU hired college students to pose as the homeless and monitor police.
"People have had it," said Mayor Suzanne Atwell. "I have had it. I'm tired of being held hostage by a seemingly organized group."
Atwell said she knows the "cast of characters" who line her drive along U.S. 41. She knows they work in shifts.
"I'm headed to the office and I know what I'm going to confront and it affects me, it gets me angry," she said. People from other cities ask her about it. She overhears tourists discussing it at restaurants.
"Wherever you go, there's this talk: 'What's with Sarasota and all the panhandling?' " she said.
Atwell said the influx could soon subside, though.
On Monday, city officials plan to review an updated ordinance designed to withstand legal challenges and allow police to arrest panhandlers in streets and at medians. (It will not stop solicitation on sidewalks.)
But the local ACLU chapter warns that the new
version could also be unconstitutional. If their warning delays a new rule, it will likely fuel community members' aggravation and allegations.
It's difficult to sort through the rumors, but several people panhandling last week acknowledged that people have come from other areas — perhaps not Tampa, but parts of Manatee and Sarasota counties — where there are laws preventing soliciting near roadways.
There used to be a half-dozen people who frequently held up signs to passing cars in Sarasota, said Seann Manning, who is homeless. "Now they're on every street corner," he said.
When police threatened to arrest Manning for solicitation in December, the ACLU represented him. It sued the city and filed an injunction — that will soon dissolve — that has allowed people to panhandle free from police interruption.
The city's moratorium draws people from other jurisdictions where solicitation is restricted, Sarasota Police Capt. Paul Sutton agrees.
"I think it's more than we've ever seen in the past," he says, comparing the rise to what would happen if Sarasota "took down the speeding signs and said you can go as fast as you want."
When Bill Wilson drives past people panhandling along streets, he recognizes some faces from his job as director of development at Resurrection House, a resource center where many of Sarasota's homeless spend part of their day. There are many he does not recognize.
Word seems to be getting out that enforcement will return in May, Wilson said.
Hugh Fiore, who lives near St. Armands Circle, hopes so.
He believes the ACLU injunction that blocked the city from enforcing the ordinance has created a "cottage industry" that operates at the expense of other residents.
And potential Sarasotans, he added. A real estate broker told Fiore that after seeing the panhandlers, a couple of clients defected to Naples.
"It's just a blight on my wonderful community," he said.
Legal battles
Dorothy Meehan is a comic strategist.
She knows what her city responds to and when a response translates to the most dough.
That's Friday and Saturday nights, with messages like: "Family abducted by ninjas, need karate lessons."
"If you can provoke a smile, they'll usually throw a dollar at you," Meehan, 49, said as she sat in the shade last week near Sarasota's Unconditional Surrender statue, finishing a crossword puzzle.
She was on break.
Ricky Hodge, whose name is tattooed in blue on Meehan's neck — a permanent Valentine's Day gift — held a sign at Gulf Stream and U.S. 41.
The couple used to live around Tampa, where they would switch off with others asking for money at 10 traffic lights. In Sarasota it's not so organized, they said.
"People are a little more greedy out here," Meehan said.
They don't work in shifts, the couple said. They just wait for a good spot.
If the city eliminates their posts, will life improve for homeless individuals like Hodge and Meehan?
Atwell says yes. It will push people to other options instead of "corralling" them in a situation where they know they'll get money, she said.
"I feel bad that they're increasing the number of disenfranchised people by getting them to do this," she said, referring to the ACLU.
Manning argues that if Sarasota's ordinance does change, the panhandling won't stop.
"They're just going to put more people in jail, that's all," he said.
Michael Barfield, legal chairman for the local ACLU chapter, called solicitation "the lowest crime that is on the books," and said preventing it just creates more work for the courts and more costs for taxpayers.
"It's not addressing the underlying cause of homelessness," he said.
For Hodge, 43, that is alcoholism. He has been arrested some 40 times for open-container violations and disorderly intoxication. He has been picked up several times for driving with his license suspended. He has no valid ID, making it tough for him to get work.
"This is a very humbling experience," Hodge said about panhandling. "It's not something I want to do."
He doesn't see another option.
"What do you want me to do?" he asked. " Rob a bank?"
Meehan, who moved from New York to Florida 16 years ago, used to help construction teams, sweeping and doing other tasks.
From her bayfront resting spot, she gestured toward the city before her, pointing out two prominent condominiums she worked on.
"I helped build the city," Meehan said. "And I feel like they're trying to push us out of it."
