As it has since 1955, the Firm continued in 1967 awards for the best technical papers written by principals and members of the staff during the year ended September 30. The winners this year were: Thomas S. Oehring, principal, Executive Office, won First Award of $750 for his paper Multiple Corporations—A Second Chance. During 1967, Mr. Oehring points out, there was opportunity to reverse tax choices made in earlier years. Tax elections of corporate groups and their benefits and disadvantages — prorated surtax exemption, 100% dividends received deduction, multiple surtax exemptions, consolidated returns—are analyzed and the circumstances for valid re-election indicated. If reconsideration of an election to file consolidated returns is missed in 1967, an extended time may elapse before a consolidated- return election may again be terminated without permission of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. If elections to take multiple surtax exemptions for 1964 through 1966, for example, are undone in 1967, this action counts as a termination resulting in at least a five-year waiting period before the election may once more be made. This paper was published in the Journal of Taxation, July 1967 issue . Samuel B. Lowell, senior accountant, Los Angeles, won Second Award of $500 for his paper Pricing Policies and Methods. Among the main categories of all competitive activities engaging the attention of a manufacturing company's management, are product improvement and innovation, sales promotion, and pricing. Of this trilogy, the problem of determining selling prices is the least understood. With this prelude, Mr. Lowell then supplies generalized guidelines for use by a hypothetical manufacturer of machinery and illustrates the major methods for determining price, the basic consideration, of course, being the relation of cost to price. The judgment is reached that the return-on-investment method holds a built-in advantage over the return-on-sales method, the former taking into consideration the main elements of financial management— sales, profits, and investment— and the latter emphasizing action to increase profits by either increased sales or decreased cost without regard to change in investment. A well-developed understanding of pricing methods is important to the management accountant. Published in Management Accounting magazine, March 1967 issue. Harold G. Levell, principal, Memphis, won Third Award of $300 for his paper Purposes for Holding Real Estate. Mr. Levell reviews, analyzes, and condenses court opinions bearing \m the problem of determining the purpose of holding real estate from the standpoint of categorizing gains as capital gains or ordinary income under income tax rules. Despite court decisions favorable to the taxpayer—one decision holding that "the taxpayer must, to defeat his claim to a capital gains rate, have been in the business of selling his lands . . . " — the issue of whether real estate has been held primarily as an investment or for sale to » A. A A .a " customers in the ordinary course of a trade or business is difficult, somewhat nebulous, and far from settled. Except in a clear-cut case, Mr. Levell believes the best initial answer the tax consultant can give his client confronted with the problem would be to say, "I don't know, and no one else in town can tell you." Published in The Louisiana Certified Public Accountant, May 1967 issue. Edward L. Condron, principal, Miami, won Fourth Award of $200 for his paper on Single Audit for Mortgage Bankers—Positive Action. The case for the single-audit concept, aptly stated by Mr. Condron, encompasses acceptance, by the investor, of a certified public accountant's annual audit of a mortgage banker's financial statements in lieu of special examinations made by or for the investor. Main benefits claimed by advocates of the program are savings in time and money; others are: relief of investor personnel from field audit tasks; availability of CPA's single audit for some reliance by the investor's own auditor. Published in The Florida Certified Accountant, November 1966 issue. There is a feature of the Firm's new Professional Education and Development Program that may have an indirect bearing on future Best Paper Awards. This is the Research Study Project, which calls for in-depth investigation of a particular accounting or business subject and preparation of a paper that may be published. Although it is not an objective of the course, eligibility of a published paper for a Best Paper Award is a "fringe benefit." BEST PAPER AWARDS S 28

Easter? Is That You?
There's a wide range of acceptable Easter motifs these days. Lilies, eggs, baby chicks, crosses, bunny butts - there's just all kinds of stuff to choose from.
So tell me, then: What exactly is this?
Or how about this?
Hm. I'm starting to think we should offer bakeries animal flash cards.
(Check out how the right one is looking at the label. Heehee!)
Somebody please tell me this is not a cross:
The madness continues into the cookie section:
And lastly, we have the gold standard of Easter designs:Jennifer T., Katie G., Steve, Taylor B., Teryn C., John M., & Shelli A., just tell them to take a left at Albuquerque. Oh, and watch out for those "sprinkles."

Obama vs. Mitt: How they plan to win
It's momentum vs. the map.
With a little more than two weeks left until judgment day, Barack Obama's campaign is embracing a fundamentally defensive strategy centered on winning Ohio at all costs — while unleashing a new barrage of blistering attacks against Mitt Romney aimed at mobilizing a less-than-fired-up Democratic base.
Story Continued Below
A surging Romney is suddenly playing offense all over the map, and the upward movement since the Denver debate gives him the luxury of striking what his advisers — and more than a few Democrats — think is a more positive, presidential, "Morning in America" tone.
( See also: POLITICO's swing-state map)
In contrast to the grind-it-out Obama strategy, Romneyland's working theory is that the momentum shift since Denver is a late-breaking, decisive wave that gives them the chance to not just win but win big.
But if Obama is currently on the ugly end of Big Mo, Romney finds himself hobbled by previous mistakes, namely a failure to develop competitive ground operations — or even a baseline of competitive advertising — in potential battlegrounds such as Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, which are becoming more competitive.
Both campaigns are confident they can win. But their theory-of-the-case victory strategies couldn't be more different. A buoyant Team Romney sees itself driving into Obama territory on a tailwind of enthusiasm. Team Obama is relying on a three-state solution — winning Ohio, Wisconsin and Nevada puts him over the top — and more "Hit Mitt" messaging geared at driving Democrats to the polls, a hybrid of hope and the hammer.
( Also on POLITICO: Battleground tracking poll: Romney takes lead)
Obama's people think he will pull it out. Romney's aides see the possibility of a romp.
"We're going to win," said one of the former Massachusetts governor's closest advisers. "Seriously, 305 electoral votes."
A top Obama strategist counters: "We've regained our footing since Denver. … We've always been focused on a pretty narrow band of territory. We've always had the map on our side. So, ultimately, this comes down to Ohio plus two or three states. We're going to win."
Obama's Chicago brain trust pooh-poohs national public polling as a light-and-heat sideshow, less relevant than swing-state polling.
( Also on POLITICO: 6 questions that will settle the election)
But Sunday's NBC/Wall Street Journal poll lays out the potholes on their narrowing path in the clearest possible terms. Obama and Romney are deadlocked at 47 percent among likely voters — while the president, struggling to ignite enthusiasm around his stay-the-course message, enjoys a 49-to-44 percent edge among registered voters. That means some of the people who would vote for Obama simply don't plan to expend the energy to visit the polls — which explains Obama's "Don't boo, vote!" directive to his audiences these days.
If Obama can't close that gap by mobilizing his base of black, Latino, young and highly educated voters, he's toast — and Chicago knows it.
The same holds true with women voters, who favor Obama by about 8 percent, a narrower margin than at any point in the cycle and far below the 13 percent margin of victory among women he won four years ago against John McCain.

The products we use every day to cleanse and hydrate our skin, reduce wrinkles and beautify our face are created using cutting-edge technology, but the quest for beauty began long before it became the science it is today. Although they didn't have our technology at their fingertips, ancient civilizations were able to create clever (though sometimes dangerous) beauty concoctions.
Nail polish, for example, originated in 3,000 B.C. when the Chinese began painting their nails with a polish made of gum arabic, egg whites, gelatine and beeswax. During this time, Egyptians also produced dramatic eye make-up using kohl - a paste made of soot, animal fat and lead. Around four hundred years ago, the 'white skin' fad caught on across Europe, and women began spending their days inside instead of labouring in the sun like tanned, low-class workers. The demand for lead-based skincare and make-up (which was used for hundreds of years to whiten skin and clear blemishes) soared in the pursuit of a flawless pallor. Lead was mixed with vinegar to make whitening foundation, used as the main ingredient in early facial peels, and even used to remove freckles. Centuries passed before people learned the dangerous and devastating side effects of applying lead to the skin. Complications range from scarring to infertility to madness. It wasn't until 1869 that the use of lead was challenged. Although the beauty business is steeped in a rich and fascinating history, it has an undoubtedly bright future too. In the 21st century, beauty products and therapies have evolved to the point where women (and a growing contingent of their male counterparts) can grow old gracefully without submitting to major surgery.

By Popular Demand: More Wreckwear!
Because I love you guys, and you asked for it:
Here's the back:
And while I'm at it, check out this hilarious little number Erin Lusk of The Cupcake Attitude whipped up:
Ah, it doesn't get any better than passive-aggressive baked goods. Be sure to check out Erin's site for more cute designs like this.
And naturally, I stuck it on a shirt:
I also added a new "I Want Sprinkles" design last week for myself:
Which looks great on an apron:
And lastly, partly because I thought it was fun, and partly out of curiosity to see if anyone would actually ever purchase such a thing, I whipped up a Naked Mohawk-Baby Carrot Jockey tie:
If any of you actually buy and wear this thing, you must send me pictures. Seriously; that would just about make my day. ;)
You can click on any of the above pictures to go the corresponding Zazzle page, where you can tinker with colors and shirt styles to your heart's content. You could even buy the item in question, but I know that's just crazy talk, so I'll stop now.

Art Deco Pearl Earrings: Inspired by Downton Abbey
There are a lot of things I'm looking forward to in the New Year, but at the top of my list is the return of Downton Abbey (here in the U.S. it's on PBS). I'd almost be willing to bypass the rest of the holidays altogether for the first day of season 3 to be here (almost).
I must admit I'm obsessed with the show, especially the costumes and set décor. To say it influences my recent jewelry designs would be an understatement. I now want everything to be pearls, and I decided to make a simple pair of earrings that I could wear to the office or to dinner. I used seed beads, netting, and picots to embellish crystal pearls in two colors, then connected the pearls at two points with seed beads. Each ear wire was attached to a seed bead loop with a jump ring.
Easy and elegant!
I'm not the only bead-stitching fan of the show. See a post from Jen on Beading Daily HERE. And stay tuned: the Interweave Knits team will be releasing a special publication inspired by the show in fall 2013. In the meantime, I highly recommend you check out Downton Abbey's 2-hour season 3 premier on January 6 on PBS.
What inspires your fashion sense and jewelry designs lately?

IUCN and the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) have signed a second memorandum of understanding (MOU) which builds on the 2004-2008 ICMM-IUCN Dialogue and marks the start of a new phase in the working relationship.
The two organizations gave a joint presentation and discussed joint efforts for 2012 at the 4th West & Central Africa Mining Summit in September 2011. Other planned activities include:
• Participation in a panel on collaboration between mining and conservation organizations at Mining Indaba (Cape Town, South Africa, February 2012)
• A workshop at IUCN's World Conservation Congress (Jeju, South Korea, September 2012).
Work is underway to develop a project development cycle that will identify, develop, deliver and evaluate projects.
"We are delighted to embark in this new phase of work," said Anthony Hodge, President of ICMM, "It signals our commitment to collaboration as the best means of ensuring that our contribution to people and the ecosystem is positive in the long-term."
"IUCN continues to build bridges between the conservation society and business," said Julia Marton-Lefèvre, IUCN Director General. "With the signing of this memorandum of understanding, we aim to continue to influence and improve the environmental performance of mining companies."

Title: Your Voice in Europe: Community Media for Citizen Participation in Cyprus
Duration: August 2014 – August 2015
Location: Cyprus
Supported by: European Commission Representation in Cyprus
Your Voice in Europe is a multi-component project that combines the elements of research, advocacy, capacity building, and media production with the overall objective of enhancing community media and supporting civil society and opinion formers from all communities in Cyprus to participate effectively in democratic life and engage in European issues.
It aims to enhance citizens' awareness and direct involvement with EU affairs by providing access to information and media literacy training through an existing community media framework offered by CCMC and MYCYradio. At the same time, it aims to facilitate long-lasting policy change through research that will inform recommendations for the legal recognition of the sector, thus laying the foundations for a more structured engagement of citizens in media production in the future.
Moreover, the establishment of community media as an important vehicle of media literacy will also create the conditions for a more genuine debate that respects diversity and promotes inter-cultural and understanding across the diverse communities in Cyprus; a key aspect that lies at the heart of the future of the European project.
You can follow our tweets and posts through the #YViE_EU.

I took a 2-day intensive "hybrid" class from Lynne Ann Schwarzenberg (River Poet Design) this weekend through the South Bay Polymer Clay Guild. This was the first time Lynne has taught this particular class–it is a hybrid of the 8 From 1 Flower Cane workshop and the Floral Tile Jewelry Construction and Design workshop. We made three floral canes, learned Lynne's special tricks on composing and constructing the tiles as well as the finished piece. Lynne also demonstrated how to make one of her faux wood grains.
I really enjoyed this class. First, Lynne's very laid back style made her approachable. She clearly demonstrated the techniques, but instead of having us sit for an hour demo, she broke the steps of the projects and processes down into manageable chunks to enable us to see the demo and immediately apply it. I think this approach enabled everyone to achieve the desired results AND have the opportunity to retain as much information as possible. I found the pacing to be a little slow due to these stops and starts and due to the various rates of speed in which people completed the steps, but the methodology was the best way to teach complex techniques.
For a small materials fee, Lynne provided us with a number of tools and materials to use as well as an extremely detailed hand-out complete with color copies of examples of finished canes, and critical steps in creating the finished pieces. We also had the opportunity to buy some of her favorite tools she uses to make her distinctive and beautiful floral designs, and after she explained their function and value, we all were sold.
Aside from the obvious value of the class–making great canes, creating wonderful backgrounds and finished pieces–the tips and special techniques Lynne taught us were worth the price of admission. I now know how to create a smooth, finished composition using cane slices with little distortion of the slices. In the past, my slices would become ENORMOUS. I also know how to properly pack canes to minimize distortion while reducing, how to best slice VERY thin slices, and how to preserve my valuable assets in creating a finished piece.
I think that if you have the opportunity to take a class from Lynne, you should–even if you're a caning pro. I think we all can learn something valuable from a class, and Lynne's 17 years of experience with clay is something she readily and generously shares with her students.

Tony Moly should be a chef. Or a plumber. Or your uncle. He doesn't sound like a name for a beauty company, but it is, and I just have to accept it.
I haven't tried much from Tony Moly, because other Korean brands like Etude House and Skinfood catch my attention more. But I couldn't resist these super cute Egg Pore products (sold separately) when I saw them on eBay recently.
I'll say it now – these are super cute but boy are they annoying to store. You have been warned.
So we have:
1. Blackhead Out Oil Gel – (White Egg) is step 1.
2. Tightening Pack (Orange Egg) is step 2.
3. Silky Smooth Balm is step 3.
I don't know what was wrong with my Blackhead Out Oil Gel, but it was really hard to screw back on and I rather violently peeled it open only to have half the contents splash all over me. URGH.
So what does this do?White egg extracts helps to clean excessive sebum, keratin accumulated waste, white heads and blackheads.
Massage this for 3-5 minutes and rinse off.
This is a rich gel with some small beads in it which exfoliate slightly – to be honest it didn't do very much in the 3-5 minutes I was massaging it in. My skin was a bit cleaner but so far, no less blackheads from using this alone. I will stick with it though and see if there is more improvement but so far, I'd say this is an average product.
The tightening pack:
This is a clay mask with egg white and camellia extracts. It also contains keratin and has a whitening effect.
Use twice a week – apply on the skin and wait for it to dry (about 10-15 mins)
I quite liked the clay mask – it wasn't too harsh, like some blackhead removing masks can be and left my skin looking a bit clearer and brighter. I also liked how it sucked up the oil on my t-zone! Overall quite a decent mask.
The Silky Smooth Pore Cover Balm:
This is a cosmetic product, not a skincare one – basically, it's a thick silicone based primer that you use on any areas where you need pore coverage. It's translucent so once it's on, it's pretty invisible.
This is a really effective pore covering product! It's almost like pollyfilla, giving you a super smooth canvas for foundation.
What I will say that it's SUPER thick, it is a balm after all so should be used with caution (incase of break outs and on oily skins) but when used in conservative quantities, this is a really excellent primer/pore concealer.
When you are done with the product, you can remove the cut out part on the top of the egg and use it as a plant pot to grow a seed in! Apparently there's a seed included but I haven't found it! Is it in the lid?
Cute, space wasting packaging, nice primer balm and decent treatment and mask. I'll stick to using the cleanser and mask until it's finished and will let you know if I find it more effective over time!
Various eBay sellers have this, I paid around £9 per egg.

More detail are available at the Hermes Wiki Page.
Due to cost of production, the ordering process will be somewhat different than any previous HPSDR projects. Hermes will be produced in a single production batch whose size is based on the number of orders places on this page prior to July 25. The number of orders placed up to and including July 25 will be the production quantity. No extra A&T Hermes will be produced by TAPR.
Credit cards will be charged for the cost of Hermes plus estimated shipping once the order quantity reaches 250.
Shipment is expected to be as early as September 6th or as late as October 15th.
Hermes Warranty
Hermes IS SOLD ON AN AS-IS BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
All Hermes boards will be tested prior to shipment, and all boards will be working when they are shipped. To the extent that we have available inventory, we may, at our discretion, agree to a one time only exchange.
This is a low volume production, experimental item. TAPR is a small, not- for-profit organization of volunteers who have helped facilitate this project because we believe it is a cool thing to have. In order for TAPR to be able to offer this board at all, we must rely on the support of all users in the HPSDR community. The Hermes board is basically a group buy that we have chosen to pre-build because of the difficulty of assembly. TAPR expects that Hermes buyers will seek help on the HPSDR Discussion List before looking to TAPR for problem resolution.
Default shipping will be via USPS PRIORITY MAIL with insurance. Estimated shipping cost is $50 to Australia as an example. Other countries may be slightly less.
Shipping to most EU countries has a maximum insurance of $500 to $650. Please indicate in your order (in the message text box) if you will accept this lower insurance or if we should explore an alternate such as FedEx or UPS who will insure for the full value. Because of the insurance limit to many countries we will ship any orders of more than quantity 1 as multiple shipments. That is if you order 3 to a country with a low insurance limit , it will be treated as 3 seperate orders. If you want to check the insurance cap for your country, you may do so at USPS.COM.
Since opening this page for orders we have checked the UPS and FedEx rates to the Netherlands. Rates to other EU countries should be similar. UPS rate for one Hermes is $93.00, FedEx is $86.

Overview: A simple wiring technique
Most homes have only two exterior outlets—one in the front and one in the back. That may be OK most of the year, but it's a real hassle when you're hanging holiday lights. It can be dangerous, too: Overloading cords or outlets poses a fire hazard, while crisscrossing your driveway and sidewalk with cords creates tripping hazards.
In just a few hours, you can solve these problems forever by adding an outlet or two. In this story, we'll show you how to do just that. We've made adding an outlet as easy as possible—simply connect new wire to an existing interior outlet and install your new outlet on the opposite side of the wall. This eliminates the arduous task of fishing wires through finished rooms. To bypass the hassles of cutting a boxed-size hole in the exterior wall, mount the new outlet right to the siding.
Even if you've never worked with electricity before, you can do this. Our Web site covers all of the basic skills you need to complete this project safely (visit thefamilyhandyman.com). Everything you need is available at home centers for less than $60. Call your local inspections department to apply for a permit before you start.
Step 1: Choose and mark the outlet location
Photo 1: Drill through the exterior wall
Drill a 1/4-in. hole alongside an existing electrical box to mark the location of the new outlet. Go outside and drill a 3/4-in. hole in the siding over or near the smaller hole.
To keep this project simple, place the new outlet in the same stud cavity as an existing indoor outlet. Start by choosing the interior outlet you want to use. Building codes prohibit tapping into circuits in the kitchen, bathroom, laundry room or into those dedicated to a large appliance, like a refrigerator. You can use living room, bedroom and basement circuits, but don't tap into a circuit that's already overloaded and trips the circuit breaker. To place the outlet somewhere other than opposite the interior outlet, see "Running Cable From Other Power Sources" below.
Turn off the circuit breaker controlling the outlet. Use a noncontact voltage tester to be sure the power is off. Then unscrew and pull the receptacle out of the electrical box. Hold the voltage tester over the terminals to double-check that the power is off. Next, unscrew the wires from the outlet. Make sure the junction box is large enough to hold an added set of wires. (An overstuffed box is a fire hazard.) If the box is plastic, shine a flashlight inside and look for a volume listing, such as 21 cu. in. (cubic inches). If your box is metal, we recommend that you replace it (see "Replace an Electrical Box," below). Most metal boxes are too small to hold additional wires.
Use a stud sensor to determine which side of the electrical box the stud is on. Place a 1/4- x 18-in.-long drill bit along the outside of the electrical box on the side away from the stud. Squeeze the bit between the box and the drywall. But don't worry if you make a small hole in the drywall. You can hide it later with the outlet cover plate. Drill through the wall and through the siding to mark the location for the new outlet (Photo 1). We tilted the drill bit downward to lower the outlet location (if it's near the ground you can hide it behind shrubs), but you can place it anywhere on the wall.
Find the marker hole outside and place the exterior junction box over it on the siding. If that's not where you want it located, move it straight up or down (staying in the same stud cavity) and mark the position of the box hole on the siding. Then drill a 1-in. hole over the smaller hole or the mark on the siding to make room for the cable.
If drilling through stucco, you'll probably wreck the bit, but you'll get through the siding. For brick, use a masonry drill bit with a hammer drill. Then drill a series of small-diameter holes around the marker hole and knock out the center with a hammer and chisel.
Turn off the power at the main panel, remove the cover plate and outlet, and use a noncontact voltage tester to ensure the power is off.
Running Cable From Other Power Sources
If you don't want your exterior outlet location limited to where you have interior outlets, you'll have to tap into another electrical circuit. If you have an unfinished basement, you can tap into a junction box in the basement and run the cable out through the rim joist. This is even easier than tapping into a main floor outlet. Plus, it allows you to put your new outlet anywhere, not just opposite an interior outlet. Simply drill a hole through the rim joist and siding, then run a cable from a basement light fixture to the outlet location (Figure A).
A second option is to run wires inside 1/2-in. metal conduit from an existing exterior outlet to the new location (Figure B). The conduit can wrap around corners with a service ell, but don't run it in front of doors. Plant flowers or shrubs in front to cover it.
If you have aluminum wiring, call in a licensed electrician who is certified to work with it. This wiring is dull gray, not the dull orange that is characteristic of copper wire.
Step 2: Run cable between the outlets
Photo 2: Pull in the new cable
Cut off 2 ft. of sheathing and two wires from the cable. Tape the remaining wire to the sheathing, then feed the loop through a knockout in the interior box. Fish for the cable from the exterior hole using a hook made from wire. Pull the cable through the hole.
The new wire must be the same gauge (thickness) as the wire already in the box, which is most likely 14 gauge but could be 12. To check, use the labeled notches on wire-stripper pliers.
Run cable from the interior box to the hole in the exterior. Start by removing a knockout in the box by hitting it with a screwdriver. Then strip about 2 ft. of sheathing off the end of the cable and cut off two of the three wires. Tape the end of the remaining wire to the end of the sheathing, forming a loop. Feed the loop through the knockout into the wall cavity.
Bend the end of a wire coat hanger to form a hook. Insert it through the hole in the exterior, grab the wire loop in the wall and pull it back through the hole (Photo 2). Pull through at least 12 in. of cable to give yourself plenty to work with.
Replace an Electrical Box
If your existing electrical box isn't large enough to hold more wires, you'll have to replace it. Remove the old box before cutting a large opening for the new one. This allows you to see if anything is behind the wall before you make the cut.
To swap out boxes, cut the nails that hold the box in place (Photo 1). Then remove the box. Replace it with a plastic "remodeling" box. These boxes have wings that flip up and attach to the back side of the drywall or plaster. Hold the box over the wall opening and trace around it. Then enlarge the opening with a drywall saw. Don't overcut; you want a snug fit.
Feed the new cable from the outlet being added into the box before installing it (Photo 2). Wrap the cable with electrical tape where the sheathing meets the exposed wires so the sheathing will slide into the box easier.
Step 3: Wire the interior outlet
Photo 3: Rewire the existing outlet
Strip 12 in. of sheathing from the cable in the interior box. Strip 3/4 in. of insulation off the ends of the wires. Fasten the pigtail wires to the outlet, then join the wires with wire connectors.
At the interior box, cut the cable so there's 12 in. sticking out, then remove the sheathing to expose the wires. Cut 6-in. pieces of wires from the coil and strip 3/4 in. of insulation off the ends. Screw these short pieces to the outlet: The bare copper goes to the ground screw (green), the white to either of the silver terminals, and the black to either of the brass screws on the other side. Hook the wires clockwise over the screws so they stay in place as you tighten the screws.
To wire the interior outlet, connect all of the hot wires (black and any other color except green or white), all the neutral wires (white), and all of the ground wires (green or bare copper as shown in Photo 3).
Gently fold the wires into the box, then reattach the outlet and cover plate. If you damaged the wall around the box, use an oversize cover plate to hide the problem.
Step 4: Mount and wire the new outlet
Photo 4: Wire the exterior GFCI outlet
Attach a clamp to the box, feed the cable through it into the box, then caulk around the clamp. Mount the exterior outlet box to the house. Wire the outlet and set it in the box.
We used a TayMac weatherproof receptacle kit for our exterior outlet. It came with a standard three-prong outlet, but since outside outlets must be GFCI protected, we replaced the kit outlet with a GFCI outlet.
Attach the two mounting lugs to the back of the metal electrical box, putting them in opposite corners. Fasten a clamp to the hole in the back of the box, then feed the cable through the clamp. Apply a heavy bead of silicone caulk around the clamp and place the box on the wall, inserting the clamp into the hole in the siding. The caulk makes the hole watertight. We placed our box horizontally on the lap siding so it could lie flat.
If you have lap siding (wood, hardboard, fiber cement) or plywood sheathing, mount the junction box to the house, using exterior-grade fasteners. Simply drive galvanized deck screws through the mounting lugs. For brick or stucco siding, mount the box with masonry anchors. For vinyl siding over composition board, use hollow wall anchors.
Fasten plugs into the openings on both ends of the box. Use a file to scrape a small notch or "weep hole" in the bottom edge of the box. This allows any water that gets into the box to drain.
Next, strip insulation off the wire ends. Attach the ground wire to the green screw in the box and to the green screw on the GFCI outlet. Make sure to identify the line, hot and white terminals (they'll be labeled "line," "hot" and "white." Attach the black wire to the brass screw or adjacent push-in hole (labeled "line")and the white wire to the silver screw or push-in (Photo 4). Clip the ears off the outlet, fold the wires into the box and set the outlet in place.
Step 5: Mount the weatherproof box cover
Photo 5: Mount the box cover
Screw the base to the box. Attach the plastic cover to the base, sliding it over the hinges until it snaps.
You'll need to remove the middle of the plastic cover base so it'll fit over the GFCI outlet (don't worry, it's designed to come out by twisting it with pliers). Set the base on the box, over the outlet. Make sure the hinges are at the top so the plastic cover will close over the outlet. Fasten the base to the box with the screws that came with the kit. Attach the cover to the base (Photo 5). Push the hinge receptacles sideways over the hinges until they snap in place. Remove the cord knockouts in the base where the electrical cords will run. Turn the power on and plug in your miles of holiday lights!
Control Lights With a Timer
You don't want to have to step outside every night, especially in the middle of a winter deep freeze, to plug in or unplug your outlets. That's where timers come into play. Walk down a home center's electrical aisle and you'll see plenty of them. Be sure to buy one that's rated for outdoor use.
The most common timers plug into the outlet, then cords plug into the timer. Most don't need to be mounted. They just hang from the outlet. The least expensive models (about $10) have a dial setting to run the lights for a specific period of time, such as two hours, six hours, or dusk to dawn (see Photo 1). Slightly more expensive models have digital controls for programming (Photo 2).
If you don't want to fuss with setting the timer, buy a remote outdoor switch (about $20; not shown). You can turn the lights off and on from inside the house, just like you open and close your garage door with a remote control from your vehicle. Look for one at home centers or search online for "remote outdoor switch."
If you need additional outlets in the yard, install an outlet strip rated for exterior use (Photo 3). They plug into your outlet, stake into the ground and offer multiple outlets. They're inexpensive at home centers. You can only install one strip per outlet.
Or buy an outlet with a built-in timer. Hubbell Electrical Products makes one that we really like (about $50; see Photo 4). It has four outlets, GFCI protection, a built-in junction box and a rocker switch so you can put two outlets on the timer and let the other two run continually (Photo 4). You can install this unit as your new exterior outlet, or if you already have an outlet, replace it with this. Buy it at electrical stores or amazon.com.

WASHINGTON — Over a year ago, in August 2007, I went out on a limb and wrote that "it now looks possible that in next year's elections the Democrats just might attain the 60 seats they need to foil Republican filibusters."
That possibility seemed far-fetched then. Today it seems feasible.
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., the head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, told reporters at a Capitol Hill briefing Wednesday that the prospect of his party getting 60 seats "are better than they were two weeks ago; they keep getting better, but you don't know until you get much closer" to Election Day.
The Democrats now hold 51 seats, if one includes Sen. Bernie Sanders and Sen. Joe Lieberman, both independents.
Republicans haven't gotten good news recently in their efforts to defend the 23 Republican-held seats that are on the ballot next month.
Polling shows Democrats ahead in Colorado, New Mexico, Virginia and New Hampshire.
The Alaska race appears to be a tie — although much hinges on the jury verdict in Sen. Ted Stevens's trial in Washington, D.C., on charges of failing to disclose gifts. His Democratic foe is Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich.
Schumer contended that Democratic challengers are leading in Oregon and North Carolina, although public polls are somewhat equivocal.
Obama targeting North Carolina
In North Carolina, Sen. Elizabeth Dole is struggling to fend off Democrat Kay Hagan.
Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign has targeted the state's 15 electoral votes. "In North Carolina, we're working very closely together (with the Obama campaign). Obama has a great field operation in North Carolina," Schumer said.
"North Carolina has same-day voter registration, which is a big advantage — so the enthusiastic voter who hadn't registered six months ago can actually vote."
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
In Minnesota, former comedian Al Franken is in a tight race with Republican incumbent Sen. Norm Coleman.
The Mississippi seat held by Sen. Roger Wicker, who was appointed to replace Trent Lott, is also in jeopardy for the GOP. Wicker faces a well-funded challenge by former Gov. Ronnie Musgrove. The last Democrat to win a Senate election in Mississippi was the segregationist James Eastland in 1972.
Now, according to Schumer, the Georgia Senate seat held by Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss is also coming within Democrats' grasp. Chambliss is battling Democrat Jim Martin.
Is GOP Leader McConnell at risk?
Democrats even think they can topple Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in Kentucky, a state that hasn't elected a Democrat to the Senate in 16 years. Democrat Bruce Lunsford is trying to unseat McConnell.
McConnell's vote for the financial sector bailout bill, which the Senate passed last week, may make him vulnerable to attack. Although Schumer noted that he himself supported the bailout, he did not rule out the Senate campaign committee using the vote to attack GOP incumbents such as McConnell.
One Republican official said it's way too early to call the Nov. 4 elections for the Democrats.
"Polls show that most of the competitive Senate races are currently in dead heats — that's encouraging news for us going into Election Day since we have much stronger candidates," said Rebecca Fisher, a spokeswoman for the National Republican Senatorial Committee. "Democrats should have learned from past experiences that it's dangerous to predict victory this far out."
Why 60 is the Holy Grail
Sixty seats is the Holy Grail because that's the number of senators needed to curtail debate and bring a matter to a final vote.
Video: Palin on McCain's economic plan With 60 Democratic senators next year, the Republican minority would be unable to stop any legislation that the Democratic leadership was intent on passing.
And unless the Republicans got help from conservative-centrist Democratic senators, such as Ben Nelson of Nebraska, they would be powerless to block any presidential nomination, if the president happens to be a Democrat.
If Obama is in the White House next year, he could nominate to serve on federal courts liberal "judicial activists" viewed by Republicans as dangerous. There would be little that Republicans could do to keep such nominees from getting lifetime appointments.
There are now 11 vacancies on the federal appeals courts and 33 on the federal district (trial) courts. And Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, who turns 89 next spring, may well retire next year.
Seeing a silver lining in an ever-darkening cloud for the GOP, former Republican Senate aide Manuel Miranda said, "A filibuster-proof Senate may result in the biggest revitalization of the conservative movement and usher in a new generation of Republican Party operatives."
Miranda heads an advocacy group that helped rally support for President Bush's Supreme Court nominees Samuel Alito and John Roberts.
A 60-seat Senate majority "may also lead to some of the most divisive partisanship since the mid-1800s," Miranda predicted.
Struggle over Bush nominees
He recalled that when Democrats were in the minority from 2001 to 2005, they used the filibuster to block votes on several of Bush's right-leaning judicial nominees, including Janice Rogers Brown and Miguel Estrada.
A bipartisan group of 14 senators, including Sen. John McCain, the Republican presidential nominee, but not Obama, ultimately struck a deal whereby Brown and two other Bush nominees were confirmed.
The 14 senators pledged to not resort to filibusters of judicial nominees unless there were "extraordinary circumstances," a term left undefined.
"The (Obama) judicial nominees that will rally Republicans will be those who had something to do with the Democrat obstructions of 2002-2005," Miranda said. "Chief among these is Cass Sunstein, who fueled the opposition to Miguel Estrada and many others."
Sunstein is an Obama ally, a prolific author and a professor of law at Harvard Law School.
"Among plausible Obama Supreme Court nominees, the worst nightmare for conservatives is 2nd Circuit Judge Sonia Sotomayor," said Curt Levey, the executive director of The Committee for Justice.
Is it the apocalypse for conservatives?
But Levey expressed skepticism about what appeared to be a conservative apocalyptic vision of a judiciary picked by Obama.
"Once the nominees are sent up to the Senate, I'm not sure 60 Democrats is any sort of magic number," Levey said. "One, Republican senators have no history of filibustering Democratic judicial nominees. Two, Democratic gains in the Senate in November will mean an increased number of red and purple state Democrats, who will have to be wary of the political consequences back home if they support the confirmation of wild-eyed judicial activists to the federal bench."
"In the end, nothing, including a Republican majority in the Senate, will stop a President Obama from pushing the federal courts in the direction of liberal judicial activism," he said. "But holding down the number of Democratic gains in the Senate will mean that the courts' lurch to the left will be less extreme."
Schumer played down the electoral significance of the judicial nominees issue. "Judicial nominations affect the base of each party and don't affect swing voters in the election. Obviously we would want a more mainstream Supreme Court," he said.
Schumer voted against the Roberts and Alito nominations and later expressed remorse that Senate Democrats had not used a filibuster to block a vote on Alito. He also led the successful effort to block a vote on Estrada.

MONTREAL - A reporter seeking factual information from Montreal city hall about city policies and operations goes through a drill like this:
10 a.m.: Journalist calls the corporate communications office at city hall. Civil servants, and not political flunkies, staff the office to answer factual questions.
10:01 a.m.: Corporate
communications person notifies the mayor's office of the journalist's request.
1 p.m.: Journalist calls corporate communications again, wondering when they'll get the information.
Between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m.: Depending on who in corporate communications is handling the request, the journalist may get a call back to explain – even apologize for – the delay.
Between 4 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.: The corporate communications employee phones or sends an email saying they have partial
answers/no answers available today/no answers.
The reason is always the civil servant who could answer the question is in a meeting all day/out of the office this afternoon/on vacation.
Have follow-up questions? At this point it's too late in the day, the journalist is told, so it'll have to be handled the next day.
"Can the story wait?" some corporate communications staff still try to ask.
No, comes the answer. My newspaper won't hold a story of public interest because the timing is inconvenient for some at city hall.
Still, it makes the news gathering process difficult and sometimes causes the story to be delayed.
And that's likely the intent.
Still, corporate communications staff are intermediaries.
The source of the stalling tactic is higher up.
In the past, Gazette journalists never wrote about the newsgathering process and the obstacles they had to overcome to get information to readers.
The thinking was: "Readers don't care about how hard it is to do your job so leave it out."
But times have changed. The public – be they bloggers, activists or well-informed citizens trying to keep tabs on local decision-making – want information directly from their borough or city hall, from agencies such as the Société de transport de Montréal and the police.
So they phone the authorities, write emails and file access-to-information requests. And they're encountering the same barriers to getting information as journalists.
The Secret Society is as real for members of the public as it is for journalists.

View the photo gallery: Vincent Jackson lists Scripps Ranch home
Former Chargers wide receiver Vincent Jackson, who recently signed as a free agent with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, is selling his Scripps Ranch home, public records show.
The property, near Scripps Ranch and Mira Mesa boulevards, received multiple offers after it was listed less than a month ago for $650,000, according to one of the listing agents. It's expected to close escrow in about a month.
According to public records, Jackson bought the three-bed, three-bath home in May 2006 for $790,000. The most current assessed value is $533,000. Jackson received a Proposition 8 adjustment due to a decline in market value, according to the assessor's office.
The renovated property, in the Scripps Ranch's Miro/Ravel development, features granite counters, custom-designed backyard with synthetic grass and a sound system, the listing says. The community features a spa, barbecue area, pool and play area for kids.
Jackson left the Chargers after seven seasons. In March, Jackson announced he would join the Buccaneers on a five-year, $55.56 million contract.
Linda Schiller and Phil Simms, both with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, are the listing agents of this home.

"I heartily recommend the SVS PC13-Ultra. If you're looking to add a subwoofer to a system that you use mostly for movies, but also want to use for listening to music without any drawbacks, I can't imagine that it will disappoint you."Good Sound, Review by Jason Thorpe.
"The SVS PC13-Ultra seemed to easily handle whatever I threw its way. Bass had excellent low end extension, with no bottoming out…At an MSRP of $1,699 it is a real bargain for the performance you are getting!"The PC13-Ultra Subwoofer Receives Sterowiseplus.com's Editor's Choice Award.
"So as to not mince words, the PC13-Ultra knocked me on my tail. We're talking wall shaking, glass-rattling, floor-rumbling bass... The PC13-Ultra is a fantastic subwoofer. It has tons of power, useable output well into the infrasonic range, yet remains musical."Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity, Review by Ross Jones.
"The SVS PC13-Ultra is one of the best subwoofers you can buy."Sound & Vision, Review by Brent Butterworth.
"Not only does this Ohio-based company make great speakers, it's also got an innovative streak a mile wide. The PC-Ultra is a daring, brilliant, and idiosyncratic product design, especially in its use of a cylinder to achieve both deep low-frequency extension and high output from a small footprint."Home Theater Magazine, Review by Mark Fleischmann.

Nanoparticles' effects on soils exposed
Nanotechnology can help solve many problems. But it is a technology that involves risks as well, for people and for the environment. In a PhD study conducted at Alterra Wageningen UR and Wageningen University, doctoral candidate Merel van der Ploeg explored the effects of nanoparticles on soils. Caution, it turns out, is still called for in nanotechnology's use.
Nanotechnology is a rapidly growing area in which extremely small, artificial particles (< 100 nm) are utilised in applications ranging from food, sporting goods and health and beauty products, to numerous types of computers and other equipment. Nanoparticles can serve, for example, as a 'vehicle' for delivering medicine to just the right place in the human body (down to the cell), for 'miniturisation' of computer chips, for water purification filters and in food, for instance, to improve taste, texture and 'mouthfeel'.
Given their increasingly widespread use, more and more of these particles could be released into the environment, resulting in growing exposure of people and organisms. The reactivity and persistence of nanoparticles are other reasons for worry. About their dangers, however, too little is yet known. "To better understand the risks that nanotechnology poses to the environment, I did research on the effects of nanoparticles on earthworms", says Merel van der Ploeg, who will defend her PhD on the subject 30 January. "Earthworms are actually a good indicator of soil quality."
One of the topics that Van der Ploeg studied was the effect of carbon nanoparticles (C60) on earthworms. She found that exposure to nanoparticles could have serious consequences for earthworm populations – such as reduced reproduction, slower growth and higher mortality. Young worms, in particular, are sensitive to the effects of nanoparticles. "I also found damage to the skin tissue and intestinal wall, often accompanied by damage to the underlying muscle", says Van der Ploeg. "But even though tissue damage is usually associated with inflammation, I did not observe this in the earthworms. There seemed to be a suppression of the immune system." Van der Ploeg obtained similar results when earthworms were exposed to silver nanoparticles (AgNP).
Nanotechnology has great potential to contribute to solutions for societal problems. "But," warns Nico van den Brink, academic supervisor and researcher at Alterra, "without proper assessment of possible adverse effects on human health and the environment, public acceptance of this new technology could wane. By charting the effects of nanotechnology in terms of risks to the environment, Merel's research will contribute to better decisions being made on these technologies."

Two bills filed by South Texas Democrats would prohibit individuals from using the state's food stamp program to purchase energy drinks and junk food such as candy, chips and cookies.
Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (formerly known as food stamps) is a needs-based program to assist Texans who work more than 20 hours a week or are disabled or pregnant buy groceries. More than 4.1 million Texans utilize the program as of December, according to the United States Department of Agriculture.
Current restrictions on SNAP purchases include alcohol and tobacco products, vitamins and medicines and hot food.
State Rep. Terry Canales of Edinburg filed HB 523, which defines "energy drink" as a beverage containing 65 milligrams of caffeine per 8 fluid ounces designed to increase mental or physical energy. Coffee-based beverages are exempt from the restriction.
"SNAP was originally created and implemented to provide food and nutritional sustenance to people in need of governmental assistance, and energy drinks in my opinion simply do not meet that criteria," Canales said. "Energy drinks have led to thousands of people being hospitalized due to resulting health complications and in some instances death."
State Rep. Richard Pena Raymond of Laredo filed HB 751, which would ban SNAP purchases of candy, potato and corn chips, cookies and sweetened beverages.
"We should not on the one hand be using tax dollars to buy junk food and then on the other hand using tax dollars for health-related diseases that come about because of junk food," Raymond, chair of the House Human Services committee, told KGBT news in the Valley.
However, a Linda Edwards Gockel, spokesperson for Texas Health and Human Services Commission, said other states have tried to prohibit certain types of foods from food stamp programs but the federal Food and Nutritional Service has denied those attempts each time.
"The federal government has not allowed it," she said.

John Brennan, piñata
Bipartisan agreement isn't common on Capitol Hill these days, but John Brennan brought senators together at his CIA director confirmation hearing — to express their anger at years of intelligence stonewalling from presidents of both parties.
Twelve years into the war on terror, a largely complacent Congress and its Senate Intelligence Committee finally seemed to have found its voice. Brennan had the misfortune of being the one on the other side of the table when they did.
Story Continued Below
( PHOTOS: John Brennan's confirmation hearing)
It seemed clear by the end of the session that Brennan had the support to be confirmed, but it was equally clear that senators are so angry with the Obama administration over questions of access to information about drone policies, Benghazi and other topics that the CIA nominee may have to wait for some of the questions to be sorted before being confirmed by the full Senate.
Here's POLITICO's top takeaways from Brennan's grilling:
Senators were looking for a piñata
For hours, Brennan was battered by senators with long-standing grievances with the CIA or the Obama administration, even though many of the complaints had little or nothing to do with him.
( Also on POLITICO: Senate pounds Brennan on CIA 'trust-deficit')
Brennan tried to head off some of the complaints by saying in his opening statement that he'd learned there was a "trust deficit" between the CIA and the Senate. He called that "wholly unacceptable."
"I like to think that my candor and bluntness will reassure you that you will get straight answers from me, maybe not always the ones you like but you will get answers and they will reflect my honest views," he said.
Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) made clear that there was a lot of work to do after decades of directors she said misled her or obstructed her requests.
"With the exception of Mr. Panetta, I feel I've been jerked around by every CIA director," Mikulski said, a list that would include not just Bush-era directors like Porter Goss and George Tenet but also perhaps Obama appointee David Petraeus.
If White House officials thought President Barack Obama's belated decision Wednesday to allow intelligence committees access to classified Justice Department legal memos that justified drone strikes against American terror suspects abroad would appease the committee, that was clearly a miscalculation.
Instead, it seemed to have provoked them. Senators opened the session with a flurry of complaints. They challenged Brennan about why senators' staff couldn't look at the documents.
"Our staff was banned from seeing it … this is upsetting to a number of members," an irritated Chairman Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) declared.

It's been a long time. Over a month and nothing from this self proclaimed "loud mouth." I've missed blogging but unfortunately have not found the spare minute in the day to devote to it.
It's been a strange year. In earlier posts I've shared what I am seeing in my community secondary to the recession. Yesterday I received another dose of reality while participating in a health fair that my staff coordinated and sponsored.
It was held in our statellite office. An area that just 18 months ago was considered very up and coming, with multiple coveted zip codes, affluent areas, promise of the American dream. Today it has one of the highest foreclosure rates and unemployment rates in our State. Today it is an area that hurts visibly.
In the land of plenty, the land of milk and honey that is America, it is difficult to comprehend the inability to provide yourself with basic needs--food, shelter, being able to provide and care for oneself, etc. That is what I saw. That is their reality.
There are no words to describe the response we received from those that attended the health fair. It was pure gratitude and I cannot begin to share what that looks or feels like. But I can say to anyone reading this blog that if you have an opportunity to assist in community events in your area take the time, do it, make a difference in someone's life. Right now, it is needed.
My deepest appreciation and thanks to those who made this possible for our community. Ursula, Ron, Tim, Terri, Claudia C, Claudia J, Yvette, Isaiah, Pacia, Connie, Jayne, Melissa, Wendy, Dawn, Ramona, Carol, Eva, Hugh, Luz, Marlene, Taymi, Brenda, Debbie T, Debbie D-M (and Buddy), Valarie, Linda (and her wonderful Volunteers), and Paul--thank you! Your dedication and committment to our organization, your community and the people that we serve is a source of inspiration. I am blessed to be a part of this "Dream Team."
Until next time,
Sunday, November 8, 2009
