The rationale I write travel tips hubs is because I get pleasure from traveling very much, though I've not been in a position to go on trips as a lot as I used to. I've long held the dream of changing into a Snowbird to escape the cold, dreary Canadian winters like others do. In actual fact, it's a fervent wish of mine and I can't assist feeling jealous sometimes. But coming from a classic journey trailer with actual wooden paneling to this poor imitation added additional insult to damage… it will make a huge effect in stearing the van away from its eighties droop. A SAA air ticket from South Africa to any regional or worldwide vacation spot, in selected reserving courses, booked and issued at a Certain Travel agency between 01 November 2016 and 31 March 2017, for travel departing by 31 March 2017, is eligible for entry. From over 10 years of expertise within the air journey trade, I can inform that 99% of the time your ticket could be changed and you don't have to lose cash and throw ticket away when you cannot travel. In case you're a resident of the US, touring to or inside Europe is your international journey.
This journey equipment takes flying to new heights and turns any trip into an unsurpassed comfort experience. It is exhausting to find a blanket on airplanes these days, so a journey blanket is nice to have. One thing that I have discovered actually helpful is making sure to carry a journey blanket and pillow, some healthy snacks, and if potential a kind of quick immersion water heaters that mean you can warmth your personal comfort soup/drink. Journey agencies, alternatively, won't your finest wager for US domestic journey because they've to use the identical fares as airways supply, but usually with zero commission.
This set is pure knit cashmere travel blanket set that comes with a generously sized blanket, pillow case, and sleeping masks. Having researched the most effective journey pillows for airplane primarily based on the standards talked about above, listed below are some of the finest that I discovered to be worthwhile investing it. I journey loads and solely convey a stick with it bag, my black leather-based purse (with a whole lot of pockets which is stuffed) and a laptop. My husband at all times carries his backpack (for water and maps) and his Ray Ban sunglasses.
Give them copies of your important private and journey paperwork, and a contact listing on your subsequent of kin. If this is what you need them, you need to examine a few of the silk travel blankets and cashmere travel blankets available. Then I thought it might be a good idea to affix a Group that was inquisitive about train journey. For those who're searching for an superior record of high 10 travel books, take a look at the ones under that I might wish to share with you – I've learn them all – and advocate them for a tremendous armchair travel expertise. The center walls are a dark grey tying them along with the newly upholstered gray couch, dark blue cupboards & blue rug. A professional travel company that complies with South African legal guidelines and the ASATA Code of Conduct and Structure, and offers the products and services for which you asked. And if you're in your trip, our free cellular app is your final journey companion.
One thing you might not be prepared for, though, is that children are anticipated to hold to the identical standards of costume as adults at religious sites. With all the electronic gadgets and accessories girls should travel with nowadays, these organizers are just the best gifts to present them. I've had the privilege to travel extensively and therefore my criteria for this trip have been very simple. I simply packed and unpacked 4 suitcases and I let you know, one of the crucial useful presents you may give girls who are sometimes on the highway are travel packing organizers. The Eurail Choose Passes are offered for a specific variety of travel days, which reveals you the way vital it is to plan you trip ahead of time.

~Wisdom Wednesday..."Strength Training"/
There are some days when we just feel like flopping down and tying ourselves to our bed. Your body becomes tired and weary from working, thinking, and or just being in constant motion all day. When this happens, we choose to stop and let our body do what it is that it wants to do, rest. This same behavior we sometimes apply to obstacles and trials in our life when we attempt to overcome them.
We know when our body is tired, we know when enough is enough, but sometimes you have to know when to push just a little bit more.
Otherwise, you'll always maintain the strength you have. If you don't condition yourself for more, becoming stronger than you are, then you will remain weaker than the individual who does. Just as you say "I've given all I've got, I've given it my best", eventually your best becomes better with continual practice.
In strength training, you use resistance to train your muscles to build strength. You are pushing yourself to become stronger physically. Don't give up or give in so easily to matters of life, build the resistance by going that extra mile. Eventually, you'll realize that your best has become better.
Shared over a cup of tea,
...From My Thoughts To Yours, Jamara

Suja, Breath-taking 'Post' !!
I'm sure you & your dear husband had to spend some money on your vacation/visits in England. BUT, I've got all the thrill/pleasures of a delightful visit to England – sitting her in front of my PC – all for what it costs me for a few MBs of Broadband usage!!!
Just like a cow, I've hastily gobbled-up your 'delightful/picturesque post' and will leisurely chew-the-cud and savour the joy.
You really have taken your reader/s (& viewers) along with you! At least, I feel like having been led-by-the-nose-string all through the places in England.
You've said "I am surprised by the variety and quality of the food at the pub. . ".
That reminds me of the lines of an old song which goes like this :
"Oh to be in England, now that spring is here!
Oh to be in England, drinking English beer!"
Don't tell me you both – and your dear son – missed 'drinking English beer'!
Best Wishes.

It was Friday morning, May 6, 2016. The Smith's Olde Bar calendar screen was open and my cursor was hovering over "Buy Tickets". At exactly 11:00:01 A.M. I punched enter. My credit card information had been entered from a previous ticket purchase. It was like watching a slot machine as three cherries came up, except this time tickets for Collective Soul appeared. Ding, ding, ding!
This was an epic coup, for the Music Room at Smith's holds only about 300 people and I now had two tickets. "So what?" you might say. I forgot to mention that these concerts will be part of a documentary film about the band. And Collective Soul is from Atlanta, by way of Stockbridge, by way of the Berklee College of Music. So these shows were a big deal around these parts. Both shows sold out faster than you could cock the arm on a slot machine.
Let's go back to the summer of 1993. Alternative music was primo, 99X ruled the airwaves in Atlanta, and Shine was in heavy rotation. Wait a minute – there's a little more to it than that. I first heard Shine on WRAS Album 88's Georgia Music Show. WRAS was the real alternative music radio station in Atlanta, broadcasting from Georgia State University, and I was a part-time student there. Shine was not an overnight sensation and it wasn't discovered by 99X. Ed Roland and friends recorded a demo tape which was to be sold to a publishing company, not be the basis for a band. Album 88 played Shine, and shared it with other like minded stations. It became immensely popular, Ed was asked to perform live, Collective Soul was formed and the rest is rock history. Shine is a very interesting song. It is usually considered grunge, but if you really analyze it there is a slow beginning, then that great guitar hook which morphs into a fast part, then back to slow. Of course there are the "yeahs" injected after the hook. Shine could have been popular in the 1970's, so let's not call it grunge. Shine was also a lightning rod for controversy. Is it a Christian Rock song? Was Billy Corgan right when he said it was lifted from a Smashing Pumpkins song? Was there a link to the shooter at Virginia Tech's massacre in 2007? This is not the forum to answer these questions, so check them out sometime. I do know that Shine was played four times (no shit) at this show at Smith's.
When Pacific Northwest grunge was no longer underground, that genre eventually made its way across America. And voila! bands like Bush, Live, and Collective Soul were given permission to exist. That has always been the paradox : when alternative music gets airplay is it still alternative? So let's just say that Collective Soul plays music that defies a label, with introspective lyrics, and has more hooks than a tackle box. A big fat distorted tackle box. The band's name comes from the Ayn Rand book "Fountainhead" but Ed disavows any allegiance to her politics – he just liked the sound of the words. As if they needed any more music street cred, Collective Soul played at Woodstock '94.
Then came nu-metal and flannel shirts were retired to Goodwill. Collective Soul never really disappeared, releasing new material and touring. In 2015 they released the tongue-in-cheek title "See What You Started By Continuing". After 20-plus years and nine studio albums they can call it whatever they wish. It is actually one of their best efforts, but you'll never hear it on the radio because they do not autotune or make videos where they swing naked on wrecking balls.
There was a mixed group in line at Smith's for will-call. I talked to a group of guys half my age who had never seen Collective Soul or been to Smith's Olde Bar. Maybe I'm delusional but they seemed sincerely interested in talking with me about concerts and venues and music in general. The Music Room at Smith's has no seating. There's a bar on the side, the mixer and T-shirt sales in the back, and one big old room with a low ceiling where you are up close and personal with the talent. The opening act was Stir, or maybe The Stir. The lead guitar player had Slash's hair but not his chops. They were half-decent but I think their parents probably subjected them to Iron Maiden, Megadeth and maybe Blue Cheer when they were toddlers. The Stir played about 40 minutes.
Collective Soul are real people. They connect with their audience and talk with us. No rock god bullshit. They appear to appreciate the support we have given them over the years. This show was a little different because of the filming (hence the multiple takes) and there were a few concertgoers whose primary goal was to be in front of the cameras. It was an energetic crowd who obviously knew all the lyrics. They played a nice mix of songs spanning their entire career, selecting tunes from nearly every release including new material. They even threw in a Led Zep cover – Going To California. In my humble opinion that song did not work well because they played it after the crowd was worked into a frenzy. Not exactly the time for wooden music.
Collective Soul started with the familiar staccato fuzz of Heavy from their fourth album "Dosage". When Ed started singing we knew this was going to be a good night.
Complicate this world you wrapped for me
I'm acquainted with your suffering
And all your weight
It falls on me
It brings me down.
Good stuff. Here is the set list and other lists, if you like lists :
Collective Soul delivered a two and a half hour show, giving every ounce of energy to us. We gave back everything we had too, so this should be one hell of a documentary. Have you ever noticed that you meet the most interesting people at concerts? I talked to a girl who gave up a career in accounting to focus full time on creating fused glass art. I talked to a guy who works in England for a brewery. He was here doing research on American pub food. Really.
Smith's Olde Bar is a Georgia treasure, just like Collective Soul. I hope they both stick around for a long time. As you enter Smith's there is a sign that reads "The best musicians and the greatest music fans walk thru these doors". I guess that sums it up.
Until the next concert, it's time for my boot heels to be wanderin'.
George Ford

Saturday's episode has a very special theme. This particular episode has been dedicated to pay tribute to the showman of the millennium, the great thespian – the one and only Raj Kapoor, on his death anniversary which falls on the same day.

Each week I am going to feature a CD that has touched me in some way.
My first album is Beauty & Crime released in July 2007 by Suzanne Vega
I have been enjoying her music for the past 20 years for it's storytelling, lovely melodies and her distinctive voice. I have downloaded 5 songs from this album and put them at the top of the music 'thingo', if anyone would like to have a listen.
Suzanne has made the following comments on the album's songs:
1. Zephyr & I: a conversation between the graffiti artist Zephyr and myself, West End Avenue remembered.
2. Ludlow Street: for my brother Tim who lived there, memories of parties and rehab.
3. New York is a Woman: NY personified as a woman who has had a hard time but is still beautiful.
4. Pornographer's Dream: what would he really desire?
5. Frank & Ava: a couple who gets along in bed but not out.
6. Edith Wharton's Figurines: women past and present, how we suffer for beauty.
7. Bound: a love song to my husband.
8. Unbound: a spiritual song about a plant.
9. As You Are Now: to my daughter who is a natural treasure.
10.Angel's Doorway: A cop is stationed at Ground Zero and his wife wants him to leave his clothes at the door. Also about troops returning home.
11.Anniversary: The anniversary week of 9/11 a year later in NYC.
As I was doing a bit of research on Suzanne I was surprised to find she had a BLOG......I am now a bigger fan, if that is possible, than I was before.

I love Suzanne Vega. I too have been listening to her for years. Starting, of course, with Tom's diner both a capella and the dance remix. After that her voice became so recognizable. I love it.

Hallettsville - Violent criminals, including murderers, were once housed in the old Lavaca County jail.
That is the reason why some believe the place is now haunted.
"There was a lot hangings, suicides, a lot of bad things happened here," property manager Debra Fawcett said.
Fawcett spends a lot of time inside the jail. She's seen and heard it all, even once getting attacked by something.
Look back at our visit of the Victoria Black Swan Inn.
"I've been shoved down the stairs," Fawcett said. "It was a pretty hostile environment, but it's all changed and we had a come to Jesus meeting."
Building owner Roger Chambers also witnessed unexplained occurrences.
"I've experienced some encounters myself, doors closing behind and things like that," Chambers said.
At first sight the place is eerie, and there is a feeling someone is always watching you.
The night KSAT.com visited we started our EVP sessions in different areas around the jail.
Read about the history of the old Lavaca County jail.
The first couple of sessions didn't produce much, so we separated into groups. The women stayed upstairs in the men's section and the men went downstairs to cells that housed the women inmates.
As the EVP session started in the men's cells, the strong odor of cigarettes came out of nowhere.
LISTEN ON KSAT.COM: Lavaca County jail haunting
Downstairs, the EVP session produced the audio of the sound of someone saying the name of our lead investigator, Guillermo Fuentes.
WATCH ON KSAT.COM: Video of 'Haunted' Lavaca County jail
For the most part the night we visited it didn't seem like the spirits that still linger wanted to be bothered, but it's worth the visit if you are interested in finding out for yourself.

So this one came up on a whim. Lately I have been on a guava kick, and this one hit the spot.
Here's what the Rumblepup site lists for Batido (translation: Spanish milkshake):
"Latinos, Cubans in particular, love MIXING stuff. Batidos are our own version of a milk shake or ice cream smoothie. We throw frozen fruit concentrate, fresh fruit, milk and a bit of ice cream in a blender, and blammo blend (my terms) that thing until it was a frothy, creamy, colorful thing of beauty that we drank right along with lunch or late breakfast.
We would not drink this as a desert. Desert, no way, give me a batido with my sandwich now!
My Grandmother made batidos from hell. I still get brain freeze just thinking of them. They where delicious. This is my tribute to the wonderful batidos of my youth."
Presentation: Very basic on the information (Prop 65, ingredients, etc.) but the label itself is super clean looking. I have to say that I am impressed to see two key elements. One is the PG/VG ratio and two is the flavor profile. I love the fact that a bottle features information on the flavor so it's not a mystery. It gets to be a little tedious to go to a website to "translate" the flavor.
The smell is very tropical with hints of the heavy cream. Good sign before starting the bottle…
Flavor: Mango and guava are all you need for a solid tropical vape. There are so many blends that include pineapple, but thankfully this one takes it to a whole other level by omitting that one flavor. The cream adds an incredible amount of depth that is missing from a lot of guava based vapes.
The cream has an almost custard feel with the spiciness. Either that, or this is the combination of cream with these two fruits. Either way, it's the cream that really makes this bottle shine.
Cloud Production: 70VG/30PG makes for amazing cloud production in both a tank and a dripper. I love the fact that you have that option on this one, as it fits with your personal preference. No massive cotton gunking either, which is nice.
Nicotine Strength: 0mg, 3mg, 6mg
Bottle Size: 30ml
Go make sure you check out Rumblepup. You won't find flavors quite like this anywhere…
Until next time guys, vape on!

Featuring the author, Victor Gold.
Vic Gold was deputy press secretary for Barry Goldwater's 1964 presidential campaign, which launched the conservative revolution in the Republican Party. He went on to collaborate with President George H. W. Bush on his autobiography and to coauthor a satirical novel with Lynne Cheney. But today, he says, the Republican Party is run by people Barry Goldwater wouldn't recognize-some of whom are identified in his polemical subtitle. His new book is a lively jeremiad against "a fiscally irresponsible, ever-expanding federal government," a messianic foreign policy, a theocratic view of church and state, and a Republican Party that has accepted all those unconservative ideas. Join us to hear Vic Gold discuss the war for the soul of the GOP and the prospects for restoring its commitment to limited government and a constrained role for politics.

Five things you need to know before you fly to Cuba
Posted: 26 September 2017
Like most travel destinations, it's always best to have something resembling a plan to enjoy the best holiday outcome, and Cuba is no exception. In fact, because of the combination of communist rule, developing country politics, revived American sanctions and a general lack of English, forward planning is essential. Here are five tips to make the best of your stay.
1. Be inventive with your flightsOn average, it costs around R25 000 to fly directly to Cuba, but thanks to the KLM and Air France routes, you can save on costs and take in the views of the Eiffel tower en route. Our writer flew to Spain for around R7 000 and then on to Havana for R6 800, saving R11 000.
2. Know your visa procedureA lot of countries' visas are a pain, but thankfully Cuba is not one of them. The only tricky part is knowing where to apply, depending on your flight connection. If you are going via the US, you have to apply at the US airport from which you depart. If you fly in from anywhere else, you apply at your closest Cuban embassy. It costs R270 and takes about three days.
3. There is practically no internetThe only Wi-Fi available is sold at a premium on strips of paper from hotels or in the street. Furthermore, what little Wi-Fi Cuba does have is accessible only at some hotels, government tourist shops and public parks. If you're used to Googling your way to guide you where you wish to go, rather download an offline map app such as maps.me. And make sure to pre-programme in your accommodation!
4. Learn some basic SpanishEven though some shop owners may know basic English, you'd be better off learning a few essential words in Spanish. Get the Bravolol Spanish app, which comes with common phrases for shopping, eating, transport and even romance. And if you can't wrap your tongue around the pronunciation, just play the app's recording out loud.
5. Know your moneyOwing to the collapse of the Red Russian State, Cuba propped up its economy in 1994 by making two currencies: the Cuban Convertible Peso (CUC) for tourists and the Cuban Peso (CUP) for locals. The CUC is roughly a dollar or euro and is worth 24 CUPs. If you are given large-denimation notes when you land at the airport (you have to do your foreign exchange there, but go to departures, as the line is shorter), your stay is greatly hindered as smaller vendors and shops will be unable to break your bills. Failing this, go to bigger, wealthier hotels and break big bills into smaller cash, preferably by ordering mojitos.

Toasted Marshmallow Frozen Custard Recipe >
Summer is my favorite season. There's so much fun to have and so many things to do. One of my favorite things we've been doing for years now is our weekend beach trips. We live very close to Daytona, so we get to drive on the beach. I'll pack a picnic lunch and we'll spend the afternoon on the beach. It's so much fun and so easy because you have your car right there.
When we're headed home we always stop at the same frozen custard shop. It's my favorite and the perfect way to end a fun filled beach day. They have so many different flavors, but I love the simple flavors like vanilla the best. Then I can add any topping I'm in the moodRead More >
Roasted Berries Ice Cream >
We are mere days away from summer…and you know what that means?? Sunny days, beautiful weather, shorts and flip flops all day long, and ice cream 24-7. Oh yes, ICE CREAM! And when ice cream is homemade—it's even better. So dust off those fantastic churning machines and let's get to work!
Now I'll be the first to admit, every time I think about making ice cream, I always stop and ask myself—is it worth the effort? Why not just go out and grab a pint? But then I remember how ridiculously easy it is to whip up a batch, particularly when you have a trusty ice cream maker that does all the churning work for you. Added bonus? You know every ingredient that goes inRead More >
Strawberry Cookies and Cream Ice Cream >
Summer is here and so is the heat. If you're looking for an easy treat you can make at home for the hot summer months, homemade ice cream is always a winner in my opinion.
Today I'm sharing a simple recipe for Strawberry Cookies and Cream Ice Cream with you. Added bonus- I chose to make a recipe that didn't require an ice cream maker so anyone can make it! No special equipment needed.
The trick to making ice cream without an ice cream maker is whipping the cream yourself to help infuse air into the recipe. The trick to making ice cream extra creamy, in my opinion, is adding egg yolks. The benefit of using Davidson's pasteurized eggs is that you can mix the yolks rightRead More >
Pasteurization Benefits for Eggs and Other Foods >
Here at Davidson's™ we are proud to offer safe, high-quality eggs to our customers. There are many factors that contribute to our superior quality including sourcing farm-fresh eggs from USDA-inspected farms and only using USDA-certified grade AA eggs—the highest grade available. Additionally, our patented pasteurization process eliminates the risk of Salmonella and other bacteria that lead to spoiling and foodborne illness. As a result, our eggs have been tested and approved by the American Culinary Federation for superior quality and flavor.What is pasteurization?
While pasteurization is one of the things that make our eggs different, we are among many other items in the grocery store that also use heat treatment to improve quality.

Mirza Ghassemi (Persian Eggs with Eggplant, Turmeric, and Tomatoes) >
I spend a lot of time learning as much as I can about my Persian background. You see, my mother is Iranian and my father is American and I have lived most of my life in the U.S. And since I married an Iranian, well, I have a lot to learn.
Persian food and Persian culture, the real Persian culture without religion mixed in, is quite extraordinary and beautiful. Both include vibrant colors and robust flavors. We love our herbs and our dishes are not heavily spiced or spicy like other cultures. Everything melds together to create a very flavorful dish.
Stews, basmati rice, and kabobs—we have quite a variety of meals to share with the world. I enjoy discoveringRead More >

This brown sugar bourbon ice cream recipe is a version that will have you breaking out the ice cream maker over and over again. It tastes like boozy salted caramel.
It is very important to allow the cooked base to cool down to room temperature before transferring it to the refrigerator to chill completely, prior to churning. The ice cream base can be made one day in advance.

Spinach, Kale, and Steak Torte Recipe >
About two years ago, after years of struggling with my weight, I decided to make a real change in mine and my family's diet. I decided it was time to start cooking breakfasts, lunches, and dinners in a more traditional fashion. That meant almost eliminating our sandwich routines, french fry addictions, and after dinner sweet treats. I also really cut back on all those unnecessary processed carbs like breads and crackers and replaced them with healthy carbs like fresh fruits and vegetables.
Over the years, I've continued to make other changes, too. I've limited sugar, cut down on soybean oil (which I've realized is found in just about everything, even the body oil I was using!) and limited dairy. I've tried to model our diet and meals according to the American Diabetes Association®'s dietRead More >
Paleo Basil Chicken and Egg Lettuce Wraps Recipe >
I will be the first to admit when I create recipes, practices such as low-fat, sugar-free, low-carb, or even gluten-free are not the first instinctive methods I lean towards. That's not to say I am against living a healthy lifestyle—in fact, that's far from it. But I do recognize that a strict regimen, quite frankly, takes me a lot of time and planning. I have met a bunch of folks who are quite skilled at it and it becomes their second nature. But for me, I tend to strive towards a practice of balance so I can enjoy a little decadence from time to time.
For example, if I have a bacon cheeseburger for dinner today, I will have a salad for lunchRead More >

Everything You Want to Know about Metal, Its Longevity, and How It Compares to Flat Roofing
Classic forms of roofing such as asphalt are no longer the only way to go. Many homeowners today are choosing more modern, durable and eco-friendly alternatives. Metal roofing has gained popularity in recent years, and installing one can dramatically change the appearance of a home. Another popular form of roofing that's making a comeback is flat roofing. Its versatility makes it perfect for residential or commercial jobs. But before you jump on either of these bandwagons, you want to cut out the hype and look at just the facts—and we're here to help.
Is Metal Roofing as Durable as Asphalt?
Metal is one of the most durable roofing materials available today. It can withstand all the elements Canada has to offer, from our freezing winters to our scorching summers. No snow, rain, or hail is going to damage this quality roofing.
Isn't Metal Noisy when it Rains?
Actually, it's no louder than your classic asphalt or flat roof. Metal roofs often tend to be even quieter than other materials.
How Safe Is Metal in a Storm?
A house with a metal roof is no more likely to be struck by lightning than any other home. It provides the same protection as any other roofing material, if not more.
How Does Metal Roofing Compare to Flat Roofing?
Flat roofing is a separate, and very different, style. A flat roof is typically made of EPDM (ethylene propylene diene terpolymer), asphalt, or modified bitumen. These materials are extremely resistant, flexible, and energy efficient. Metal roofs are made of either steel or aluminum, and will outlast many of their competitors.
Will a Metal Roof Really Last 50 Years?
With proper maintenance and care, yes, your roof can last up to 50 years or more. It will have a much higher upfront cost compared to other roofing styles, but between its longevity and its durability, it will be a worthwhile investment.
Can Metal Handle Heavy Snowfall?
Metal isn't just aesthetically pleasing—it's also extremely practical. The unique design of this type of roof encourages snow to slide right off, preventing excess build-up in the winter. Additionally, it can easily withstand extreme temperatures without cracking, bending, or shifting.
Are Metal Roofs Eco-Friendly?
Metal is one of the most eco-friendly roofing materials! Unlike asphalt shingles, metal tiles don't emit toxic chemicals when exposed to hot temperatures, making metal the green choice. Not to mention the fact that most metal roofs are made of 100% recycled materials.
If you have any more questions about metal or flat roofing, get in touch with a qualified roofing contractor today.

How to find the QuarkXPress serial number?
If you are getting ready to order an update of QuarkXPress or for an XTension or you need technical support from Quark you need to know your QuarkXPress serial number. Therefore you have to start QuarkXPress once. In order of your running operating system please follow the described instructions:
For Macintosh:
Click into the main menue onto the tab "QuarkXPress" (left of the Apple Menu). In this menue you will find the option "About QuarkXPress." Click on this option while you hold down the option key "alt-button" on your keybord. This will open a window where you will find your QuarkXPress version, patch level, serial number, etc.
For Windows:
Click into the main menue onto the tab "Help". In this menue you will find the tab "About QuarkXPress." Click on this tab while you hold down the control key "strg-button" on your keybord. This will open a window where you will find your QuarkXPress version, patch level, serial number, etc.Category: XTensions / Plug-Ins, QuarkXPress
Message: "This XTension is not compatibel with this version of XPress."
Possible causes:
The version of a XTension does not match the QXP version (for example, a QXP 6 XTension does not run with QXP 7).
Solution: Check the version number an load the correct version of the XTension.
Is the current processor type supported? A PPC-Version does not run on INTEL.
Solution: Switch QXP to Rosetta mode and start QuarkXPress again. If the XTension still does not load, contact the distributor or producer.
What does XTension mean?
XTensions are add-on applications, which, once started, can expand the functionality of QuarkXPress with several features.
How do I activate/deactivate XTensions?
The Xtension, which has to be installed, will be pasted by drag & drop in the folder "XTensions" within the QuarkXPress application folder or, when an installer is included, you have to start this and install the XTension and additional files into matching folders.
To deactivate unnecessary XTensions they can simply be dropped into the folder "XTensions Disabled". QuarkXPress has to be restarted, whenever changes are made on the XTension's folder.
Where do I find the XTensions already loaded on my volume?
Start QuarkXPress, then choose Utilities->XTensionManager. Here you see all XTensions loaded.
How do I find the version number of my installed XTension?
Mac OS
- Highlight the symbol of the XTension software in the Finder.
- Push Cmd+I (information)or choose the "Information" menu under "File"
- Click with the right mouse button on the symbol of the XTension and choose "Attributes" from the contextual menu.
- Click on the register "version" and find the version number.
Why does the installation of XTensions switch QuarkXPress into "demo mode"?
Demo versions from XTensions may cause the complete switch of QuarkXPress application to demo mode, as soon as they are loaded. QuarkXPress does not allow saving documents or creating a library and printing is possible only in a restricted mode. When QuarkXPress is started with XTensions in demo mode you get a warning message.
We advice you to load only one or few XTensions in demo mode. Try out the new functions to get to know if you want to buy a full version of the XTension. If you find a conflict between the demo XTensions, ask the producer, if full versions also cause such conflicts.
Please consider not to open necessary documents whil working in demo mode! Documents that can be saved in the QuarkXPress demo mode, can not be opened with the full version of QXP.
Message: "[102] This document cannot be opened, because the pasteboard XTension is not available"
If you attempt to open a QuarkXPress™ document and the following alert message displays: "[102] This document can't be opened because the "Pasteboard" QuarkXTensions is not present", third-party software is required to resolve the problem.
The Pasteboard XTensions module is third-party XTensions software created by the software development company Markzware. Its purpose is to expand the vertical size of the QuarkXPress pasteboard, allowing more space around the top and bottom of each document page.
Unfortunately, the first version of the XTensions software had a problem: when a document was opened while the Pasteboard XT was running, the Pasteboard XTensions module "attached" itself to that document, so the Pasteboard XT had to be running whenever the document was opened again.
This creates a particular problem in cross-platform environments, because the Pasteboard XTensions module is only available for the Mac OS version of QuarkXPress.
With the XTension KillPasteBoard you can open the document without loading Pasteboard XT. When saving the document the Pasteboard information will be removed. KillPasteBoard XTension is freeware.
Is it true, that XPertTools for 7.1 is available free of charge?
Yes! Quark XPertTools Pro - compatible with QuarkXPress 7.1 and higher is now available free of charge - download at the QuarkXPress site!
Where do I find the FontFace XT against incorrect replacements of font styles?
FontFace XTension® for QuarkXPress and QuarkXPress Passport 6.1 und 6.11 (Mac OS)
To avoid incorrect replacement of font styles in Quark XPress and QuarkXPress Passport under Mac OS. (A font style is a variation within a font familie - for example, the Minion type familiy includes font styles like Minion Bold, Minion Italic and Minion Bold Italic.) The incorrect replacement may occur without notification of the user, when a font style in a suitcase is deactivated. Download here: FontFace XTension®
Does there exist any XTension to import or write arabic text in QuarkXPress?
Yes, ArabicXT allows the typing of arabic text, the text direction is changed to "right to left". With ArabicXT arabic and latin text can be handled equally.
Information and downloads of demo and software you can find here: Arabic XT.

For the Miami-based "Classic Strings" quartet, the mellow tones of violin, viola, bass, and cello blend in perfect harmony. But discord fills the personal life of each member. Marissa Soliz, who plays the upright bass, has serious doubts about the new proprietor of Silkwood Kennels. In the past, her beloved Afghan always received pampered treatment there. While she's on tour, can Marissa dare trust her dog to Jason Easton's care? Tyronne Carver, the group's cellist, hits a sour note when his disgruntled neighbor, Cassy Michaels, complains about the noise of his practicing. Will she ever change her tune over Tyronne? When Cynthia Powers waltzed back into Tristan Rueben's life, his heart skips a beat. But should he set aside his viola to pursue the woman who years ago broke his heart? Eva Alano not only plays the violin, she makes them. She's thrilled when famed violinist Giorgio Baldovino expresses an interest in more than just her work. . .but why can't she shake that jokester, Jack Darren, from her thoughts? The Classic Strings have often performed at weddings. . .but will they ever hear strains of the "Wedding March" played for them? Can faith sustain them as they wait for the perfect harmony of love?
This was a really nice read. It wasn't too heavy, it had interesting characters who were dealing with falling in love, trusting one another, making changes in their lives, etc. The romances weren't extremely passionate, but left you with a feel good feeling after reading them. Kind of like, "Aw, I remember when I was that age, just falling in love." sigh.
I really liked getting to know each quartet member in their own story. As you read one, you looked forward to moving on to the life story of the next one. As you read that, you met the other characters you already know again and it has a great continuity. What I find interesting is that there are four different authors and yet there is such continuity of characters. I am surprised that each of the characters aren't just a little off somewhere. I wonder how the four authors co-ordinated themselves or if they had really good editors who watched the characterizations so carefully to catch anything irregular. Either way, it's really interesting how well written each story is and how each contributes to the whole. Awesome job, ladies!

A short story by Tina Konstant
Suzie opens her eyes. Today's the day. A new start. She's going to exercise, eat right, meditate, get the promotion… and say sorry to Alex.
6:28 a.m. Perfect. She sits up and swings her feet off the bed. Light streams into her window. She loves autumn. Loves her flat. Loves her job. Loves her friends. Loves Alex. Yes! Suzie throws her arms in the air. Today's going to be a perfect day.
"Ahhh… Casper! Really? No. Come on. We've got a deal!"
Suzie kicks off her slipper, turns in a circle three times like she's warding off bad luck and grabs a towel from her washing basket.
"This is fine." She glares at Casper who licks his paws and wipes his face. "It's still a perfect day. It's all about attitude. Change what I can and accept what I can't. Right?" Casper rolls his eyes and flops onto his back. "It says so on a fridge magnet so it has to be true." The cat lets out a sigh and pads out of the room leaving Suzie to fully appreciate his gift. "I can't change the fact that there's a decapitated mouse in my slipper. I can toss my slipper in the bin. Problem solved."
Suzie wraps her slipper in the towel, strides into the kitchen where she bundles the whole lot in the bin then scoops Casper into her arms. "The price you pay." Suzie nuzzles into his belly. "You bring dead mice into my bedroom at the start of a perfect day, you get cuddled whether you like it or not."
Casper doesn't like.
He swipes a paw at Suzie's neck, a single claw catches her skin, he flies out of her arms, sprints across the kitchen table, knocks a glass vase on its side spilling water and roses onto the floor.
"Oh, come on!" Suzie takes a step to save the vase then squeals. "Alex!" She hops around the table cradling her foot and throws a random piece of Lego across the room. "What adult still plays with Lego?"
Twenty minutes later, a dozen more Lego pieces and Caesar sulking at the top of a bookshelf, Suzie's gone from having all the time in the world, to just 32 minutes to shower, get dressed, feed Casper (not that he deserves it), get out the door, onto a bus and into the office for eight.
Stupid roses. Alex had got them for her a week ago. The day after she found out he'd lifted her bank card and taken money from her account. Can you believe it? He'd snuck out at 2 a.m. to withdraw £250.00, snuck back in, stayed until breakfast, then disappeared for the rest of the weekend with his friends – compliments of Suzie. The next evening, he blew £3.99 on garage roses to say sorry. It wasn't just some crazy weekend, he'd said. It was in remembrance of a friend who'd died a year ago. You know I'll pay you back. It was an emergency. I was locked out my house. I told you I'd lost my keys.
Suzie hadn't believed him. She was sure he'd spent the weekend with another woman so had raged like a porcupine in a paper bag until Anna, Suzie's best friend, confirmed his story. Great. Now Suzie looked like a heartless, self-absorbed idiot. She should have listened. She should have been more generous and understanding. She should have been kinder. Nicer. Now she has to apologise.
Fifty-two minutes later Suzie's on a bus. Not her usual bus, but that's okay. There are no window seats and the back seats are full. She takes an aisle seat right in the front which means a blast of cold air hits her every time the door opens. The bus doesn't move.
"Is there a problem?" She asks the driver, glancing at her watch.
"Ahead of schedule," he mutters, pouring coffee from a flask letting the steam coat the windows of his booth. "Sitting tight for a bit."
Suzie leans back in her seat. There's time. She's got time. Her article is nearly ready. She has until 10 a.m. to submit it. If the editor loves it, she gets her dream job. If he hates it, she gets fired from the job she's got. No pressure. Calm. Perfect day.
The driver opens the door letting a woman in with three kids. "Archie, enough!" The woman drags one of the boys onto the bus.
"I wanted Cocopuffs!" the kid screams.
Suzie closes her eyes. "I accept what I cannot change," she whispers to herself. "I can't change the wind or the screaming kid or the driver's schedule. I can change how I get to work. It's a perfect day after all."
She leaps off the bus and reaches her hand out for a cab. She's late anyway. Might as well be late in comfort. It'll give her space to think about the final tweaks she needs to make to the article. "Perfect day." A small frown creeps over her face and stays there. "Finish the article. Get the job. Meet Alex for coffee. Apologise for not listening and presuming the worst. Make up and be happy… No… No! You have got to be…"
Words stick in Suzie's throat as thoroughly as the mud on her shoes. The cab stops. Front wheel in a puddle. Back wheel in a puddle. The contents of both puddles coating Suzie from the knees down. She jerks the door open. "Are you insane? You just soaked me."
"Ahh…" The cabbie stares at the damp patch. "Sorry. You need a cab?"
"Do I need cab? Of course I need a cab or I wouldn't have stuck my arm out and stood in the middle of the road. I just didn't need a face full of drain water."
"Right. Sorry about that." The cabbie grins. "Hop in if you like. I'll put the heating on full. No charge."
"For the cab ride or the heating?"
"The heating. The heating's free."
"Charming. Fine. I need to get to Houghton Towers."
"News Day headquarters? You a journalist?"
Suzie glares at the cabbie. Who the hell is he to be all conversational after driving like a maniac? He glances at her in the rearview mirror then pulls into the traffic. Suzie stares at her reflection in the window then turns away, yanks wet-wipes from her bag and goes to work on her shoes. "No. Not really," she mutters, her head down below the seat. "I'm a columnist. Sort of. A wanna-be columnist. I just do little bits here and there and make the tea."
The cabbie laughs. "Sounds like a good gig."
"Oh, it'd be good if I ever broke through." Suzie sits up and straightens her hair. "I've got an article to finish and submit today." She stops talking. Why is she telling him this?
"Sounds important."
She nods. "Based on that article, the editor decides who gets the job. Been working on the thing for a month."
The driver takes a right then slows. "Well, traffic's bad. I'll get you in fast as I can. Might not make it before nine though."
"Perfect." Suzie scrubs, creating fine scratches on the surface of her shoes.
"You okay?" The driver's eyes crease at the corners like he's wondering just how crazy Suzie is. She doesn't care.
"Fine." She slumps into the seat. "Today was supposed to be a new start but I'm fast thinking about stopping at the nearest coffee shop for two kilos of chocolate cake and a caffeine shot."
"Maybe that's what you should do."
"You kidding? Part of my new start is quitting sugar and I'm having withdrawals already."
"So perhaps you should start with something a little more basic. Like taking a breath."
"I…" Suzie stops. He's right. She can't remember the last time she took a deep breath in. Certainly not since Alex took money from her account. She lets air seep into her lungs and smiles. The heat finally sinks into her skin. "You don't look like the usual cabbie. What's your story?"
The driver shrugs. "Same as you. Working on breaking through." He reaches into his pocket, pulls out a card and hands it to Suzie. Dan Crighton – actor, is written on one side. "Played the Artful Dodger in a school play when I was eight and got hooked."
"Artful Dodger?"
"Oliver Twist."
"I know who the Artful Dodger is." Suzie's smile widens. She can't help it.
"Researched the role for months. Practiced like a pro. Now I'm working my way through drama school."
"I'll look for you at the Oscars."
"Thanks." Dan turns the heating up a notch. "I'll look for your column."
Suzie closes her eyes. At least someone has faith. Dan pushes a CD into a player and country music trickles through the speakers mingled with the warmth seeping into her pores. A gentle peace fills the cab. Comfortable quiet. That's what she needs. Suzie looks out the window and watches the people run and bump, nudge and dodge each other. A few minutes of silence. Time to think. Meditate. That's something else on her New-Suzie list. She presses her fingers together and imagines a burning candle. That's how to do it, right? The road to Nirvana.
It doesn't last.
"You have to be kidding." Suzie opens her eyes, sits up straight and scrabbles through her bag. "What is that?" She jerks her phone out. Alex. He'd been messing with it again. Lighten up, he'd said when she told him to stop.
"Lighten up. I'll lighten…" Suzie jabs a button to kill the Cheeky Girls and pins her phone between her ear and her shoulder. "Anna?"
There's a squeal on the other end of the line. "Oh, my God. Suzie, please. Come over. I know you'll be at work, but please. It's Barry."
Anna. Suzie's oldest friend. The person Suzie turns to whenever Alex does something stupid or when she needs a crazy night out and a giggle.
"He's dying. I'm sure he's dying." Anna sobs. There's retching in the background. Something breaks.
"Anna. I'm… I've got…"
"Please, Suzie."
"Unbelievable." Suzie taps Dan on the shoulder. "Change of plan. Harrow Street. Number 62."
Dan spins the wheel and turns the car around. "Everything alright?"
"Fine. I'm sure. I think." Suzie goes back to the phone. "Anna? Is anyone there with you?"
"No!" Anna wails. "It's just me. I called an ambulance but they said they won't come. He's been throwing up and now he's just lying there. Please, Suzie. Get here."
The article. The deadline. She'll never get that column. Suzie drops her head in her hands. "I'm on my way. Just keep him calm. Sit tight."
Choices. Suzie runs through her day in her head. She can deal with Barry, then fly to the office and still meet the deadline. Perfect day. I can still do this. With drain water between my toes. I can do this.
Six minutes later Dan pulls up in front of Anna's flat.
"Can you wait?"
Dan presses random buttons on his dashboard. "Sorry, got another call around the corner. Can't hang about. You have my card. Give me a call when you know what you need and I'll be right back. I'm not going far. I mean it," Dan says. "This ride's on the house. Sorry for getting you wet."
Suzie jams the card into her pocket. "Thanks," she stares at him for a moment.
"Go help your friend. Make your perfect day," he smiles.
Suzie shakes her head. "My perfect day is fast disintegrating into a perfect calamity." She slams the door shut then takes the stairs to Anna's flat two at a time. "I can do this."
"Suzie!" Anna flings her door open. "Thank God. Thank you. I'm freaking out up here. He's okay. He's fine. Threw up everything, the silly idiot. He swallowed a keyring or something." Anna hugs Suzie tight. "Thank you for coming."
"It's okay." Suzie steps into her friend's flat. They've known each other since they were six so Suzie should have known that a catastrophe for Anna is generally a mild inconvenience for everyone else.
"Look at this. Stupid dog." Anna leads Suzie into the kitchen where a black lab lies spread out on the floor, tail wagging, licking his paws. A pool of half-digested food and part chewed Lego puddles out in front of him.
"When was Alex here?"
"What?" Anna blinks, blushes, then stares at the floor and gasps. "Oh… ahhhh…. he… what?"
"When was Alex here? That's his keyring. He said he lost it last week. It's why he had to stay at my place. Couldn't get into his flat. That's the night he lifted my bank card, took my money then went off with his mates. The memorial weekend."
"Memorial weekend. Right. Yes. Ahhhh, I don't know."
Anna wrings her hands. She doesn't say anything. She doesn't have to. Piece fall into place. Slips in conversation. Small feelings and thoughts that Suzie had dismissed as paranoia. The other woman.
"How long?" Suzie breathes in and lets the air out. Calm. Be calm. This is, after all, a perfect day. "How long have you and Alex been seeing each other?"
"Ahh." More wringing. More blushing. "It's not what it looks like. Don't jump to conclusions. You always do that. Nothing happened. We haven't been seeing each other. Suzie. Are you nuts?"
Suzie turns and walks out. She doesn't scream or cry or even slam the door. She should have known. Alex taking money out her account. Anna not answering her phone when Suzie had called to tell her about it. Alex's phone always going to messages. The roses. The apology. The guilt-laden excuse.
Oh, God. A new start. A perfect day. That's all she wanted.
Tears streak down her face. Something. Just one thing has to go right today. She steps onto the street, turns right and walks. 9.06 a.m. No way will she make the office in time to finish the article and submit it. She'll never meet the deadline. She might as well find an internet cafe and send in her resignation. "This is impossible!" she snaps loud enough for an old man to pull his shopping cart full of tins out of her way.
Two blocks later she steps into the Ozone Coffee House, orders a chunk of chocolate cake, a latte and one hour of internet time. "I'll not need more than that to quit my job."
The cake on one side, the coffee on the other, Suzie stares at the screen. My perfect day. Her perfect day hadn't included resigning. But then she hadn't expected to find out her boyfriend was having an affair with her best friend.
Accept what I can't change. Change what I can.
Suzie begins to type. Not the resignation letter but an article. Not the one she had worked on for a month. Another one. A rant. It's what her editor wanted, wasn't it? Pull the inhibit pin, he'd said. You're too safe. Just let it out! Be angry. Be brave.
Suzie writes. She doesn't hesitate. She doesn't backtrack. She doesn't rewrite. With five minutes left to go, she reads the article, corrects two typos and presses send.
"Perfect sodding day, my foot." She sips her cold latte and puts it aside. Deadline met. The article is shorter than it should be, off the cuff and entirely insane. Idiot. She presses her lips together. It would have been quicker to write a resignation. And more dignified.
She glances at her watch. She's supposed to be meeting Alex in thirty minutes. Alex and Anna. Anna and Alex. Are they really? No. She shakes her head. She's doing it again. Flying off the handle and not listening. Jumping to conclusions. There has to be a rational explanation. Anna and Alex were friends before Alex and Suzie got together. Why wouldn't he be at her flat? Now she sounds even more heartless and selfish.
Leaving the chocolate cake next to the latte, Suzie walks out the coffee shop and turns towards town. She puts her hand in her pocket and touches Dan's card. No. The walk will be good. A new start. Not really the perfect day, if she's honest, but a new start. It will give her time to think. Her and Alex just need to talk. That's all.
Six blocks later Suzie stops outside the restaurant, breathes in and closes her eyes. A new Suzie. A more patient Suzie. A Suzie who listens. A calm Suzie. She practices her smile and opens her eyes. Alex is there already. At the table. He's not alone. Anna? He's talking to Anna? Their heads close together. An urgent conversation. He's holding her hand. Touching. Whispering. Kissing?
Suzie ducks behind a tree and sinks to the ground. All she has to do is make herself small and this whole day will disappear.
Just go home. That's it. Go home. Get ice-cream on the way. Lock the door. She fumbles through her pockets for her keys and pulls Dan's card out instead. She dials. "Ahh, Dan? I need a cab. I need a lift…" Suzie can't stop it. The sob heaves out of her chest burning her throat, blocking her nose, stinging her eyes. "I'm sorry. I'm…" She glances up at Anna and Alex. "I'm outside Lupos. I just need…"
"I'll be there in one minute."
True to his word, one minute later, Suzie falls into the back seat of Dan's cab and slams the door shut. She gives Dan her home address but he doesn't move.
"So what happened?"
Suzie covers her face to keep it all in but she can't. She starts with her plan for a perfect day, a fresh start, a new attitude, then tells him about the dead mouse, her cat, the money Alex had taken, the weekend away with his friends, her suspicions – just not about Anna, the roses, the bus, getting wet, Anna's dog, the Lego on the floor, the rubbish article she submitted, Anna and Alex giggling and kissing…
"It's time for my break. You fancy lunch?"
"What?" Suzie wipes her nose on a tissue Dan hands her. "Lunch?" Suzie stares at the front door leading into Lupos like it's the gate to hell. "No. Well… No!"
"Fresh start? A perfect day? My treat. Please. At least I can make up for soaking you."
Oh, Lord. Suzie takes Dan's hand and lets him lead her into Lupos. Anna and Alex don't notice them. "I'll be back in a bit," Dan whispers.
Suzie huddles into the leather booth, presses both hands to her face and breathes. A deep, save-her-life breath. She stops when her phone rings. Her editor. Great. Here it is: You're fired. You've embarrassed yourself. You'll never work again. She picks up.
"Suzie. It's Michael. I got your article. I had no idea you had it in you. It's perfect. It's exactly what this column needs. Edgy. To the point. Merciless. This is great. The column is yours if you want it."
"Yours. We'll use this piece to launch tomorrow's edition. We'll need a new one every day, five days a week starting Monday. Same fire, fury and punch-you-in-the-gut honesty. Is that something a staff writer can deliver?"
"If you want it."
"I want it!"
"Then you have it. Come to my office first thing tomorrow and we can make it official."
"Thank you. Michael. Thank you."
"You earned it, Suzie. See you in the morning."
Dan settles back in the booth just as Alex and Anna make their way to the till. "Good news?" he asks.
Suzie nods and puts her phone away. "Good news."
At the till Anna's waving her hands, talking like she doesn't have an off switch. Alex riffles through his pockets. All his pockets. A frown on his face. He glares at the waitress. And keeps riffling.
"Oh, no. You don't get to pull that one on me," Anna yells. "You were always telling Suzie you'd lost your wallet so she'd pay for everything. Not me. I'm not falling for that."
Alex stares at Anna, then at the restaurant manager. "But I have. I swear. I had it. I just… I can't find it. I'm not kidding. I had my wallet. It's…" He keeps searching his pockets as Anna storms out the restaurant leaving him with the manager and a big guy dressed in black.
"Sir?" The manager crosses his arms and plants himself in front of Alex.
Dan puts his hand on the table in front of Suzie. When he moves it away he leaves a small, brown wallet behind. "Enjoying the show?"
Suzie stares at the wallet, then at Dan. "That's Alex's wallet."
Dan grins. "I told you. I played the Artful Dodger when I was eight. Researched the role like a demon."
The manager takes Alex by the arm and leads him through swinging doors at the back of the restaurant.
Dan holds up a glass. "To a perfect day," he says.
Suzie laughs. "A perfect day."

After eating half of a grapefruit
I opened this week's New Yorker,
the back cover that is,
to start my day with the humor of the cartoons,
and the inside of the back cover shows
a glaring bright white-hot car headlight
and the words
What more can I say?
I've torn off the back cover
and am putting it in my 3-ring binder
of writing Power Prompts.
Spark Something.
And as I open my journal, I will start
my writing with, SPARK SOMETHING.
You too. 🙂

Briefs (left)
Australia's Prime Minister Denies Knowing of Iraq Kickbacks
By Raymond Bonner
In a brief appearance before a commission investigating accusations that an iconic Australian wheat company paid millions of dollars to the government of Saddam Hussein, Prime Minister John Howard said he had never seen any of the cables over a six-year period that raised suspicions about the payments.
"I believe I did not read or receive any of the relevant cables at any time during the relevant period," Howard said Thursday.
The focus of the investigation is on AWB Ltd., which Howard noted was a respected wheat exporting company that had represented Australian growers since the 1930s. The company is accused of paying more than $200 million to Saddam's government under the United Nations' oil for food program, which allowed Iraq to sell some of its oil and use the proceeds to buy food despite penalties imposed after Iraq invaded Kuwait in 1990.
It was the first time in two decades that an Australian prime minister had been summoned before a judicial inquiry, but it was relatively easy going for Howard. The commission's counsel questioned him for only 45 minutes, and the chairman of the commission, Terence Cole, did not allow cross-examination by a lawyer representing AWB executives.
U.S. Seeks to End What It
Considers Tax Scheme
By David Cay Johnston
The Justice Department is seeking a court order to block a Michigan couple from promoting what the government says is the No. 1 tax scheme in the country and to force them to return more than $20,000 in tax refunds. The government also sued seven people it said used the couple's advice, in a move to recover the refunds they obtained.
The main action was against Peter Eric Hendrickson, 50, of Commerce Township, Mich., and his wife, Doreen, 51, who maintain that only a narrow slice of income is subject to tax. Hendrickson's self-published book, "Cracking the Code," shows people how to exploit what he considers loopholes in the IRS system for processing refunds.
On his Web site, Hendrickson claims that his clients have pocketed more than $896,000 in refunds with no adverse reaction from the government.
According to the Justice Department complaint, filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Detroit, "Hendrickson's bogus zero-income scheme fraudulently asserts that the payment of taxes is voluntary and that his customers are legally entitled to refunds of all taxes withheld from their paychecks."
Treasury Note Yield Passes
Five Percent Mark
By Vikas Bajaj
The era of cheap money may finally be nearing its end.
Investors pushed up the yield on the U.S. government's benchmark note on Thursday to more than 5 percent, its highest point in nearly four years, signaling that many borrowers will soon be paying more on mortgages and home equity loans.
Driven by a stronger economy and a nearly two-year-long money tightening campaign by the Federal Reserve, the rising level of interest rates across the board is expected to have the biggest impact on people who took out home loans with low introductory interest rates that are set to adjust in line with market rates in the next few years.
The 10-year Treasury note, which crossed the 5 percent threshold on Thursday for the first time since June 2002, serves as a touchstone for a variety of borrowers, from consumers to corporations and governments. But it is most closely tied to mortgages and is likely to play a role in curbing the home-buying frenzy in many parts of the country and slowing price increases.

In some cases, you are so focused on what you are doing that no matter what goes on around you, you have the ability to focus on the task at hand and complete it with ease. You know what I'm saying, right? Say you are being in the living-room with some calculations to extract for your monthly bills. The general atmosphere has the TV blaring, the vacuum doing its normal rounds, sounds of traffic on the road outside et all, but you have the ability to complete the job with ease. Why? Due to the fact that you have very high levels of psychological focus working for you. That is exactly what is able to get you to work without getting affected by any of the external disturbances and noises.
That is the charm of this useful little idea called psychological focus. High levels of concentration enable you to concentrate on the job at hand so that you are able to pool out the very best outcomes of the like well as multitask with ease.
Exercises to Improve Focus and Concentration
There are numerous mental workouts to improve focus and concentration and become more focused on what you're doing. This has a positive result en route where you carry out any task – you do not get sidetracked by any outdoors stimuli and are able to pool into your capabilities effectively well to produce the best results.
Exercise # 1
Lie down and totally relax. Relax your mind then focus on how your heart beats. Feel it pumping blood to all parts of the body and how the different bodily functions depend on it. There will be stray thoughts that make way, however, try and neglect those.
Exercise # 2
Rest and attempt to count from numbers 100-1 because of order. It's easier to count from 1-100, so do not do that. Concentrate entirely on the counting exercise and do not dwell on stray thoughts.

Exercise # 3.
Put any things that have a definite shape, texture and other homes in front of you. Spend 5 minutes staring at the object and studying the item in all its whole – it's shape, size, texture and other details. Then close your eyes and try to duplicate the details in your head. Every component must appear. When you're finished with the exercise, open your eyes and see whether you had the ability to replicate the item well. Repeat 2-3 times.
Exercise # 4
Trying out different puzzles and mind exercises like sudoku or learning a new language or fixing math exercises, are some of the very best workouts to enhance focus for children. The very best part is that you can have a whole lot of fun while fixing these puzzles.

When it comes to developing a content strategy for their clients, many marketers and business consultants are biting off more than they can chew. Why is that?
A client dumped us a few summers ago. After a very warm working relationship over several months, I received a very cold email out of the blue telling us our content and consulting services--including the content marketing strategy we were making them--were no longer needed because they decided to do "viral marketing."
We do (and have done) a lot of blogging on behalf of a lot of clients. From ghostwriting for life coaches to giving voice to a startup brand, we've seemingly done it all when it comes to blogging. However, you may never, ever want to outsource blog posts to Team Impressa. Here are seven reasons why:
Many businesses are quite scattered when it comes to marketing strategy. Instead of constructing a plan, many take a scattershot approach--putting in a little bit of effort here, a little bit there, trying this for a hot minute, and then a big push for whatever option seems to be the cheapest or was sold the best. That isn't a strategy, but it's a fantastic way to diminish potential ROI and see less than impressive results. Instead, focus on building a brand blueprint,
I get a major case of the warm and fuzzies when a client hands us the reigns and lets us create all kinds of cool content for their blog. When the sky is the limit, we are able to whip up a wonderful content mix that offers a range of something to cater to every persona that makes up their ideal audience. This allows us to create an entire library of brilliant on-brand content that's basically begging to be shared and maybe even go viral. But this doesn't mean this is always a good idea, as there are a few negative outcomes you could anticipate.
Having a strategy for your content is imperative to it's success. Now I know some folks just toss some content out into the world and get lucky, but that's not the case for most who are seeing traction and profits from their content marketing. Yes, you are excited to jump in, but look before you leap! Making a content marketing strategy is usually the ticket, and I whipped up a webinar on the very topic. If you don't have 30 minutes or so, here are five tips to get you started.
As an entrepreneur myself, I understand the allure of a content writing service. You simply sign up, pay up, leave some instructions, and you'll have an article delivered to you! I know, I'm making these content writing services seem pretty darn nice, right?
Team Impressa works with a lot of startups, and most of them face very similar challenges. The issue, essentially, is that there's a lot that needs to be done, and the internal team is too small to tackle everything themselves. This includes content strategy.
About a month ago, a potential client reached out to the Impressa Solutions team because he needed some blog posts. To be frank, blog posts alone were not going to get this guy to his stated goals. He needed a content strategy, but when I told him this, I was met with resistance. He didn't want to be "upsold" on "extras," and he insisted that I describe what a successful blog post looks like--because that was what he wanted.
