The Tracy High wrestling team found some extra motivation at practice Monday — and just in time.
After a tough stretch in which the Bulldogs wrapped up a second-straight San Joaquin Athletic Association championship with a lackluster win over Franklin before losing in the first round of the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section duals, Tracy coach Darryl Rond could tell his team was gassing out.
"We haven't looked good for the last three weeks," he said. "I think we got stale."
So the Bulldogs kicked off the week with a motivational meeting, shifted their focus from weightlifting to conditioning, with each wrestler running three or more miles before practice. And it worked.
"When we got (into the practice room) everything looked different," Rond said. "Everyone was ready to wrestle."
And now, they're ready to begin the four-week long tournament season, a road that begins today with the San Joaquin Athletic Association meet at Lodi High and — if a wrestler has the right combination of preparation, performance and luck — ends with the CIF State meet March 2 and 3.
"We worked our butts off this week," said junior Blair Bergmann, one of Tracy's three wrestlers who finished undefeated in league along with Khalid Azizi and Billy Strmiska. "We haven't wrestled to our potential all year … I think we'll do good (Saturday)."
But the Bulldogs can do much better than good. A wrestler need only place in the top four to move on to divisionals, and with only six teams in the SJAA, there's reason to believe the entire team could move on.
"There's still 14 weight classes, and 14 kids going on is still our goal — and it's feasible," Rond said. "If we wrestle well, it should happen."
While it eluded them during the regular season, the West High wrestling team is still within striking distance of its first league title.
If the Wolf Pack, who lost only to Stagg before rattling off straight wins over the rest of the Tri-City Athletic League field — including the program's first-ever win over Tokay — can finish first and keep Stagg at least two places down the line, West will find themselves owners of a championship banner.
"We're wrestling a lot better than we were in the early part of the season," West coach Ed Carlos said. "I'm looking forward to seeing how far these guys can go."
Most of the focus is on senior 130-pounder Mike Simmons, an honorable mention in the latest California Wrestling Newsletter Section rankings. He and 215-pound junior Alvaro Tellez both completed undefeated league seasons — though Tellez found some extra motivation when Tokay's 215-pounder guaranteed a league title this week.
West also boasts another three should-be finalists in senior heavyweight Nick Nethercott, 152-pounder Juan Villarreal and Kevin Ribelin. All lost only one match in league duals — with Nethercott's loss to St. Mary's Andrew Tourville, another ranked wrestler.
"Every match, I've gone up to (Nethercott) and said, 'I need a win from you. I need a pin' — and he's done it." Carlos said. "Against (Tourville) we knew it'd be a tough match and he almost won. It was amazing. Hopefully, if he makes it to the finals he can meet the kid again."
West has strength elsewhere, too. 189-pounder Paul Silatolu came within a match of qualifying for sections last season, and 103-pounder Jorge Vargas has been tough. But while the Wolf Pack will look to keep competing well into February, there's no question what the immediate focus is.
"That banner would look real nice in our gym, you know" Tellez said.

In this section:
You need to complete an EC Sales List (ESL) showing each of your customers in the EU and the value (in sterling) of the supplies you've made to them. You make a separate entry for each type of supply made to each customer.
There is no threshold for ESLs - you must list every supply, no matter how small. If you haven't made any supplies (or issued any credit notes) in the reporting period, you should not submit an ESL and the ESL Online service (ECSL) will not allow you to submit a nil declaration.
This guide explains what needs to be entered on the ESL, how to prepare the information and how to submit it.
On this page:
You will need to submit an ESL monthly or quarterly depending on whether you supply services or goods, and the value of those goods. You'll need to get together information about each customer and the supplies you've made to them.
|If you:
|you will:
supply services only
submit an ESL for each calendar quarter but may choose to submit ESLs monthly if you prefer
supply goods and the value of those supplies has not exceeded £35,000 (exclusive of VAT) in the current or four previous quarters.
submit an ESL for each calendar quarter but may choose to submit monthly if you prefer
supply goods and the value of those supplies has exceeded £35,000 (exclusive of VAT) in the current or four previous quarters.
have to submit ESLs each calendar month
supply goods and services and the value of the supplies of goods means you have to submit monthly ESLs for goods
have to submit ESLs each calendar month for goods and can choose either to
submit an annual VAT Return and all the following are true
be able to apply to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) for approval to submit your ESL annually.
They will also agree the due date for submitting your annual ESL.
supply goods only, have a low level of EC Sales and all the following are true:
you can apply to HMRC for approval to submit a simplified annual ESL
For further information about New Means of Transport, see VAT Notice 728
You must include details of all the VAT-registered EU businesses you've supplied in the reporting period, entering a line for each customer, for each type of supply.
You should include:
Read about goods and 'triangulation' in section 13 of VAT Notice 725
Find out if the services you're supplying are subject to the reverse charge in section 18 of VAT Notice 741A
Look up your customer's country code
As long as you meet certain conditions you can zero rate your supplies of goods to VAT-registered customers in other EU countries. One of these conditions is that you must show a valid VAT registration number for your customer on both of these:
You won't be able to zero rate your sales if either of these is true:
Find out more about zero rating goods to EU businesses
Sometimes your customer might show their VAT registration number linked to their two letter country code, but is should not be entered on your ESL in that way. You should enter the two letter country code and the VAT number separately in the boxes provided.
You'll also need to check that the VAT number itself is valid. You'll need to do this for each new customer. You may need to take the following steps:
Once you have checked that the VAT registration number you have is valid, enter it on the ESL, making sure you enter it in exactly the right format. You should check the validity of your customer's VAT registration number on a regular basis, to ensure that the number has not been deregistered.
Don't include:
Check EU countries and territories, country codes, VAT number formats and get foreign-language letters
Check EU VAT numbers on the European Commission website (Opens new window)
You'll need to add up the value of all the supplies of goods or services you've made in the period to each VAT-registered customer in another EU country, entering a separate value for each customer and each type of supply made. You may need up to three lines for each customer, if you supply goods, 'triangular goods' and services.
You'll need to include:
Take away the value of any credit notes you've issued from each customer's total and the relevant type of supply.
Remember not to include the value of any goods that have been sent for processing.
If you made any supplies where you didn't physically handle the goods yourself - because you arranged for your supplier to send the goods directly to your customer, this is known as 'triangulation'. You'll need to enter the value of these goods separately from any goods you may have sent directly to the same customer entering the figure '2' in the indicator column.
Read about goods and 'triangulation' in section 13 of VAT Notice 725
If you issued a credit note to a customer without making any supplies, you should include the value of the credit note, entering a minus sign (-) before the amount.
If you haven't sold any goods, supplied services, or issued any credit notes to any customers in the reporting period you don't need to submit an ESL.
If you made supplies to a customer but didn't charge for them, you'll need to enter their value - unless the items qualify as samples under the VAT rules.
HMRC might have agreed that you only need to complete a simplified ESL because you make low levels of sales to EU customers. If so, you don't need to include the value of the sales you make. Just enter £1 in the value column - not zero.
Read about what counts as a sample for VAT purposes
Find out if you can apply for permission to submit simplified ESLs
There's no need to enter pence on the ESL. Before entering the total value of your supplies to each customer, round the amount down to the nearest whole pound. For example, if the total value is £1,521.92 you would round the amount down to £1,521.
If you submit your ESL online you must do so within 21 days of the end of the reporting period.
After you've registered and enrolled to use the online service you can log in, using your User ID and password.
Once you've logged in you'll see a list of services displayed. Click on the link 'ECSL' to access the service, then select the web form option.
After 15 minutes you'll be automatically logged off if you haven't entered anything - so you might lose any data that you entered prior to this. It's a good idea to prepare all the data you're going to enter before you make a start. You can check what you'll need to do to prepare the data in an earlier section of this guide. If you use the bulk upload feature you won't have this problem.
Log in for the ESL online service (ECSL)
It's important to use the buttons on the ESL online service (ECSL) screens to navigate backwards and forwards. If you use your browser 'back' button you might lose data.
Use one line for each customer and for each type of supply. You can get extra lines by selecting the 'More lines' button. You might find it's more convenient to use the bulk upload facility if you regularly fill in more than 20 lines.
Don't forget to put '2' in the indicator column if you're entering a line for a customer where you didn't actually handle the goods, but instead your supplier sent them directly to your customer. This is known as triangulation.
Use indicator '3' to identify supplies of services.
You might need to enter a negative (minus) value for your supplies to a customer, for example because you issued a credit note for goods they returned. Type a minus sign '-' before the amount to show a negative value.
The ESL Online service (ECSL) will not allow you to submit a nil return.
So if you haven't made any supplies (or issued any credit notes) in the
reporting period, don't submit an ESL.
After you've entered all the information for the reporting period, select the 'Submit' button. You'll be shown a 'Review and submit screen' next so you can check over your figures before you finally submit them. The form will be checked automatically on submission and if any errors are found they'll be highlighted by an 'X' on this screen. You will have an opportunity to correct the errors before resubmitting.
After you've submitted your form you'll see an acknowledgement screen. This gives you a unique 'Submission Reference Number'. Print this and keep it for your records. If you don't get this number you can't be certain that your form has been received and accepted by HMRC.
You can correct any errors on your online form, within 21 days of submitting the original declaration. You can find more information on this, in the section Correcting errors on your ESL', later in this guide.
Contact the VAT Online Services Helpdesk if you're having trouble with the web form
If you are already a registered user of HMRC Online Services or the Government Gateway, you can log in to use the ESL online service (ECSL) to submit your ESL now.
Log in for the ESL online service (ECSL)
In addition to completing the ESL form online, you can also submit your ESL electronically in the following ways:
After you've registered and enrolled for the online service you can log in, using your User ID and password.
Once you've logged in you'll see a list of services to choose from. Click on the link 'ECSL' to access the service, then select the bulk upload option. You'll be automatically logged off after 15 minutes if you don't use the service.

HMRC must receive your paper ESL within 14 days of the end of the reporting period.
If you've filled in box 8 of your VAT Return HMRC will automatically send you a paper ESL to complete. If you don't expect to make any more supplies to VAT-registered customers in the EU, contact HMRC to let them know and they will stop sending you ESLs.
If you need to obtain a paper ESL you can either:
Get form VAT 101 EC Sales List
Contact HMRC to ask for another ESL
You will need to fill in details of your business at the top of the form. You should write inside the boxes, using black ink and capital letters. Leave blank any boxes that don't apply to you - please don't strike through them. Do not write 'none'.
If your details are already printed on the form, and any of the information is incorrect, don't correct it yourself as this will result in your form being rejected. Instead call the VAT Helpline and advise them of the correct details.
You'll need to enter all the following on the ESL:
Four-digit codes
1 Oct 2011 to 31 Dec 2011
12 11
1 Jan 2012 to 31 Mar 2012
03 12
1 Apr 2012 to 30 Jun 2012
06 12
1 Jul 2012 to 30 Sept 2012
09 12
1 Oct 2012 to 31 Dec 2012
12 12
For monthly submissions you should show the number of the month 01 - 12 followed by the last two digits of the year: for example January 2012 would be shown as 01 12.
The paper ESL - form VAT 101 EC Sales List - has eight lines. If you need to enter more lines you can download a form VAT 101A EC Sales List Continuation Sheet from the HMRC website. The format for entering the information is the same on both forms.
At the end of form VAT 101 you will need to enter the total number of pages used. If you also complete form VAT 101A you will need to complete the total number of lines completed.
Complete the declaration at the end of form VAT 101, and sign and date it. Please include a name and phone number in case HMRC needs to contact you.
Download form VAT 101A EC Sales List Continuation Sheet
For each customer, enter their country code and their VAT number. You may need up to three lines for each customer. This is because the total value of each type of sale needs to be entered for example, if you have supplied goods direct and as a result of a triangulated sale and have supplied a service, you must complete three lines for that customer.
If you supplied goods, enter the value (including related costs) of all the goods supplied to that customer (deducting credit notes where appropriate). Leave the indicator column blank.
Related costs include services which form part of the goods, such as freight and insurance costs.
If you were an intermediate supplier in a triangulated sale, enter the total value of the supplies to each customer on a separate line from any other supplies made to that customer. Enter '2' in the indicator column.
If you supplied services which were subject to the reverse charge in another EU country, enter the total value of these supplies on a separate line. Enter '3' in the indicator column.
When you enter the value of the supplies you've made to each customer, you:
You should send the completed and signed form (VAT 101) and any continuation sheets (VAT 101A) to:
HM Revenue & Customs
Comben House
Farriers Way
You must tell HMRC about any errors and omissions on your ESL where:
If you submit your ESL online using the ECSL service, any errors are highlighted as you complete the form, which allows you to correct them before sending it. If you submit the ESL with errors on it, you will be able to correct these errors online up to 21 days from the date you originally sent it.
If you submit your ESL by CSV or XML you can still use the online service to correct errors identified at the time of submission. Alternatively, if you decide to submit a new file, you must delete the error lines from your original submission within 21 days, using the 'Correct declaration errors' page on the ECSL online service.
In both cases, after 21 days:
Whether you submit your ESL online or by paper, HMRC may send you a form VAT 104 notifying you of any errors they find. This form is sent to you with a copy of a 'Helpful Hints' document,showing the error lines and the reasons for the errors .The form should be returned to HMRC showing the corrected information .
If you realise you've made a mistake on your paper ESL after you've sent it to HMRC, you can amend, delete, or add to the information you've already entered using form VAT 101B. You can download the form from the HMRC website and can make up to five changes on each sheet. Send the completed and signed VAT 101B to the address shown on the form.
Download form VAT 101B EC Sales List (Correction sheet)
Form VAT 101B has two lines for each entry, one called 'old' and one called 'new'. If you want to delete a line, enter the details of that line in the old section. Leave the new section empty. You'll need to enter the following exactly as they appeared on your original ESL:
If you want to insert a new line, enter the details in the new section - leave the old section empty. Use the guidance on how to fill in your ESL form to make sure you enter everything correctly and in the right format. Enter details of:
If you just want to amend a line on your ESL that you've already declared, enter the original details in the old section. Put the new details in the new section. In the old section, make sure you enter the following details exactly as they appeared on your original ESL:
If you wish to delete a whole ESL submission, please contact HMRC in writing to request deletion. Write to:

Overtime work, dual job holding and taxation
AbstractTraditionally, labour supply data do not include much information on hours and wages in secondary job or overtime work. In this paper, we estimate labour supply models based on survey information on hours and wages in overtime work and second job which is merged to detailed register information on income taxes, deductions, taxable income etc. We also allow for the effect of observed fixed costs in main occupation and unobserved fixed costs in second job, and a 'stigmatization effect' from unemployment. The estimated models follow a 'Hausman-approach'. The results indicate that the labour supply elasticities are highly sensitive to the inclusion of information on overtime work and secondary job and to the handling of fixed costs of work. The estimated elasticities are numerically larger when explicit information on overtime and second job work is taken into account compared to traditional labour supply models without explicit information on overtime pay and second job wages. However, when the model allows for stigmatization effects and unobserved fixed costs of work in second job, the resulting elasticities reduce considerably.

Through planned gifts, you may achieve personal financial goals while making a substantial impact on the financial stability and strength of WRHS. The benefits of a planned gift may include significant tax advantages and guaranteed life-long income for you and/or family members. Your most enduring benefit is the legacy you will create.
Planned Gifts include bequests, charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts, charitable lead trusts, gifts that involve retirement assets, insurance policies and more.
Your first step in considering a planned gift to WRHS is to consult your financial advisor or estate attorney to determine which planned giving option is best for you. When you are ready to help ensure the financial vitality of WRHS through a planned gift, please complete and return this simple one-page
Declaration of Intent.
A WRHS representative will then contact you to discuss your planned gift intentions.
Many people choose to ensure a future charitable gift through their Will. You may choose to designate to WRHS a specific asset or cash amount, a percentage of your estate, or any residual amount that is left once all other costs and bequests have been honored. You may also add a bequest as a codicil to an existing estate plan. Your estate may receive significant estate tax savings. Again, we advise you speak with your attorney or financial advisor prior to naming WRHS in your Will.
If the purpose of your bequest if unspecified, the gift will be placed in the WRHS endowment where only investment proceeds are spent to help ensure WRHS operations. Bequests may be designated to support an existing fund or purpose of WRHS. Bequests of at least $250,000 may be designated to establish a new fund or purpose. In that case, we strongly advise you discuss your intentions with WRHS staff in advance.
Should you decide to name WRHS in your Will, the following is sample language
"I give, devise and bequeath to Western Reserve Historical Society. (Tax ID# 34-0714724) with offices located at 10825 East Boulevard, Cleveland, Ohio 44106, the sum of ___________ to be used ___________"

ACC race update: Week 10
Source: ACC Football Blog - Oct 31, 2011 at 10:16 AM
There are only two teams remaining with one conference loss each -- Clemson in the Atlantic Division and Virginia Tech in the Coastal Division. Both teams are the frontrunners to win their respective divisions and meet in Charlotte for the ACC championship game, but with a month of games still remaining, the ACC race is far from wrapped up. While there are still several scenarios that could play out, let's focus on the teams that have the best chances. In the Atlantic Division, Wake Forest is the top challenger to Clemson. The Demon Deacons play Notre Dame this weekend, but travel to Clemson on Nov. 12. If Wake pulls off the upset in Death Valley, it would win the head-to-head tiebreaker, but would still have to beat Maryland. If Florida

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I love Lakewood middle school-we moved here recently and the staff has been terrific! Whenever I've had a question, the counselors have been quick to respond. In addition, the kids here are friendly and nice!!
This school is absolutely horrid. The teachers are pretty good though, but other than that the students are so rude and snotty. If you have social anxiety or have problems with interacting with others, I would not recommend this school! It's so cliquey. If you're popular in this school, you'll love it! But otherwise you'll want to leave right away. There aren't many students either, and most of them won't wanna be your friend unless you act the way the students' definition of perfect is. So please, think twice about sending your child here.
This a Great School. They challenge you to go beyond the districts and schools expectation. All the teachers are great, they help you with anything you need. Great School.
Lakewood is a place where they challenge you to do better. They have great exploratory classes and great music programs. They teach you to be a strong leader and have excellent teachers to encourage you. They're drama department is great and they also make classes fun. Lakewood is awesome!!
I love my teachers! :) and the principle is awesome. I always have great education every year.
The principal and teachers are wonderful. They really care about the students and have created a great learning environment
It really depends of the teacher since leadership is very weak. It can be a great school but there are things that need to be changed from a higher level.
Its a great school to go to. It's brand new, it has good teachers, and plenty of new ways to teach kids.
i justg love it the principal the teachers and the hole way they do things it just rocks
This is a great school with great teachers and Academics and a great learning enviroment

Join 500,000+ Artists
Its' free and it takes less than 10 seconds!
I'll read the story first, then I'll let you know my answer
Sci-fi horror is not my cup of tea
Hi everyone. I couldn't fit the entire question in the poll, so it is instead at the end of this post. Before I pop the question though, let me give you an idea of what I have in mind. (Stick with me; it will pay off):
I am just about done with my project, which I've been working on for a long time. This project is (so far,) made up of two literary works, joining together to create a story of science fiction horror. This story, however, is not a "story" in a traditional sense. Unlike the usual "beginning-development-ending" closed format we are all use to, the two combined literary works are open-ended enough to form a self-contained literary universe, which can constantly be built upon. This is where YOU come in.
You read the story and then let your creativity fill in the blanks. It doesn't matter whether it is a drawing, painting, short story, etc., once you are finished, sign your work to let anyone who looks at it know that it is obviously yours, and then submit it to the website where it can be voted on. After receiving a certain number of "like" votes, AND if it fits within the story's universe with no noticeable conflict to the canon, the work becomes part of the story's official universe.
Now here's the part where I say: HOWEVER, due to a lot of legal mumbo jumbo, I had no real choice but to copyright the two stories and the series itself. Meaning: If you hope to create profitable work that is based off the universe's canon, you will have to contact me for licensing. ONLY nonprofitable work becomes part of the story's official universe.
When your properly submitted nonprofitable work becomes part of the official canon, you can experience the following benefits:
- The work's creator will be mentioned in the credits of a profitable finished product, whenever the creator's work is used within that said product
- Your work will become officially part of the universe's history
- If have a website of other artwork and/or a method of contact, I will add it to the 'Links' page
- Your work will likely become the basis and standard for many other artistic minds
- The artistic reputation can become a great addition to your portfolio
- Bragging rights
So, to the poll's question:
Would you create something for a science fiction horror universe, which you cannot profit off of without licensing, but will likely experience benefits from?

So let me get this straight...
I get bragging rights AND credit for the work I do for you (for free) AND you get to own it all?
WOW, man! Sounds like an amazing idea to me.
I've always been trying to find a way to get bragging rights and credit for my own art. Ah, and to be able to inspire other artists, that's also important. I'd never be able to do that on my own projects, so this is a great opportunity.
I forgot to add, if participants have a website of their other artwork and/or a method of contact, I would add it to the 'Links' page. Basically, I don't just want the public to become more engaged in my story, but I also want them to discover the artists that help me out.
Ive a poll for you, imagine if you will that youre a shopkeeper, and someone walked into your shop and said "hello, if you give me all the items from your shop I want, for free, you can brag about giving them to me" would you allow it?
Youre the latest in a very long line of people who've come sniffing around trying to scam artists into completing their unheard-of projects for "bragging rights" but no actual money.
Get real.
Why wouldnt they just work on their own universes and cut you and your licensing out?

I'm not trying to scam people. I'd like to help other artists, but I have very little money to do so. I actually wanted to do this project much differently, but legal matters muddled much of my plans. Though I now own the copyrights to the series, I want the people who discover it also discover the participants who get involved. Despite having a bunch of legal obstacles and very little money, I'm still trying to find other ways to benefit the artists who help me out.
What was your answer to my poll?

I'm not asking you to do all of the work just to have me benefit completely from it and nothing else, I'm asking artists to contribute to a collaboration I started.
Want to really help artists out? Save up/get a job and pay them what they deserve.
There are hundreds of people here for whom I would jump at the chance to help them get a project off the ground...with no hope or thought of benefits to me. You're not one of them.
You've posted five or six times in three days with grand plans with very little details other than your "word," basically telling people who are killing themselves to earn a living or studying like hell to enter a complex field where they can, and your offer amounts to passive cheerleading. We know nothing about you. What's your track record? how about at least your age or schooling or work history? How about at least an attempt at a decent reason why the hell I should cut off one of my balls for you...with a knife I paid for?
Do you even realize how stupid you sound, how unprepared, and how immaturely self-centered? You wanna fight the good fight, at least give it a serious attempt that we can understand. If Black Spot, Stark, or Jason (and a load more here, some who don't particularly like me) asks me to jump off a cliff with them because I might get something out of it, I'm in...because I know them...I trust them...and I KNOW it has to be more fun than what I'm doing now...because they've all proven to me that they're not in the habit of peeing in my coffee when I'm sleeping... Unnerstan'?
No position or belief, whether religious, political or social, is valid if one has to lie to support it.--Alj Mary
Ironically, the concept of SIMPLICITY is most often misunderstood by simple-minded people. --Alj Mary
You don't think I have been trying to save up/get a job? This is a project I'm doing in the meantime. Until now, I had no idea the same people who would tell artists "Why don't you get a REAL job?", included other artists.
You want me to fill out my profile? If that's the case, you could of just asked. I am also currently in the process of trying to set up the website. This poll was just a litmus test on the type of crowd.
If you just want to find someone to do a fun little project with, just say that, and dont go off about legal obstacles and buying licenses from you and bragging rights, its just offputting and wierd, and fits exactly the pattern of every other nut bag who has made a post like yours follows. Seriously, check the older posts, theyre almost word for mis-spelled word like yours; highly complex project based on their unpublished novel, no money (but enough to get the lawyers in to secure copyright)...public meltdown when questioned.. youre showing all the tell-tales of a time-wasting loon. To remedy that, talk straight, in small words, and spell out exactly what you need doing and what you will do in return.
If you cant offer money, why not offer your skills; can you do 6 hours of accounts in return for 6 hours of art time? Can you paint my house if I design you a load of stuff? If youre not prepared to pay either in money or effort, dont expect anyone to donate their time to you, capiche?

I'm not having a public meltdown, I feel the questions being asked are legitimate and I'm trying to give the answers. As for the copyrights and lawyers, they were suggested to me by family and peers, who were very concerned about my original idea and the contributions of others, being somehow ripped-off. I used what little I had to secure the copyrights, and found lawyers who gave free legal consultation.
For offering my skills, I cannot help in person, nor I cannot illustrate that well (which is the reason why I'm looking here,). However, I can see if I can do some things online for those who ask me.
As for small words and spelling, can you please point out to me where in my posts I needed to make those changes?
after free editing now too? i already did you sarcastic fuck, when i pointed out you spelled "hear" wrong.
some things online... what is that? 6 hours web design and CMS back end on a portfolio website for 6 hours of art time is something young artists might actually be able to use, unlike bragging rights.

It turned into a litmus test of yourself, though. Are you surprised?
And you managed to test as "another one from that throng of gonzos who try to fish for spec work".
No one to blame here other than yourself. You come in with zero introduction, zero reputation, nothing to show for your project, nothing but vacuous promises of some grand scale project where no one has creative control (deciding such matters by vote equals no one deciding), which you need lots of expensive work for, in exchange for a generous promise of... bragging rights. To a crowd who have seen a thousand offers like yours and view them as freeloading. Which also shows you didn't even really check who participates in these forums, or what response are offers of this kind typically getting.
At this point it does not matter anymore whether you had been shifty or clueless. This is not a good way to get people interested, to say the least.

I swear, I wasn't being sarcastic. I didn't notice you pointed one out already. I am sorry if I offended you. Hell, I'm sorry if I offended anyone on this forum. Also, I don't know what "CMS back end" is, nor do I have the skill for web design. I'm going to be using SnapPages to create my website.
Bragging rights are not the only thing I have to offer. Like I said, I'm currently trying to find other ways to benefit artists. The reason I'm not going into more detail about my plans, is that I wanted to see how many people would be even interested first. Not to mention, I'm still in the process of planning the layout of the website.
What do you mean about "deciding such matters by vote equals no one deciding"?
Without beating around the bush, man, this offer of yours is ludicrous on a grand scale. You are speaking to the people of this board as if they are 13 years old and about to get their "FIRST BIG GIG!".
Plainly and clearly, no one here will want anything to do with this. The professionals of this board comment DAILY about people like you in hopes that young artists DON'T fall for hooks like yours.
You may believe in your heart that you are offering these artists something special in the way of "credit" and "bragging rights" and "exposure", but all you would be doing is getting a LOT of artwork for free and then you own it all for your "legal reasons" (convenient, yeah?). ALL of the benefit is on your end, not the artists.
There are likely other art forums on the web that may be interested in your project, but not this one. If you insist on doing this the way that you are, only a starry-eyed kid who doesn't know better will want to be a part of it.
Or, just simply say "I am working on a project for fun, who wants to join me?" and leave the legal nonsense buried where it should be, and you might get a few more interested eyes. But if you go that route, it needs to be a true collaboration, equal rights for all involved.
I do not see you as 13 year old children about to get their "FIRST BIG GIG". I want to see how the project grows and how many would really benefit from it. One thing I'm checking into including, was that if a creator of a work that was adopted into the canon wanted to use it for profitable gains, I would license it to them at no charge when they ask. The only people who would face licensing cost would be people who did not contribute to the official canon.
In all honesty, this project was meant to be much less restrained, and only reason why legalities were involved was because someone else could have easily claimed everything as their own personal property. As a result, not only my story would have been lost, but all of the work from those who contributed too. Would I profit from copyright, yes, but from inspired outsiders and my own ideas. I don't want to rip-off the people who help me.
alright maybe i was a little harsh but you sounded like every other chancer or dellusional looking for free work from young people already struggling under the recession.
if you want to get people invovled in a collaboration, youre going to have to be open about it. put what youve got up in a sketchbook or whatever and encourage people to comment. help them with their work. if youve got no money youll have to earn somehow, its up to you to figure out how but saying youre working on figuring it out isnt that useful a currency im afraid.
if someone steals your amazing idea, well, the probability of that happening seems low, but we all have sketchbooks with whatever we wish and are allowed to show displayed in them.
by all means protect your work, but if its copyrighted why keep it secret?
by cms i meant you said you had some kind of online skill, i guessed web design, so meant you could offer a custom website in exchange for an artists time. my guys got some fancy suits from a london place for doing 5 grands worth of web design. its all about the barter. if you have skills, see if you can use them to pay your way. you said you were an artist, so art.
youll also need to get seriously organised, and be able to explain the project in depth, not just the crazy story but the actual deliverables you need and the goals youre working toward. again, no vague promises, facts and data. and i strongly suggest you save up and raise some capital and hire a young talented kid designer and pay her a grand for 2 weeks work in the summer hols. bragging rights work both ways, when theyre famous in a few years making silly money doing Iron Man 6 you might just be able to hang onto THEIR coat tails.
good luck.

I sorry if I've been so vague to y'all. I've been always told, "Don't show your work until you've got all of your ducks in a row, otherwise people will try and steal it from you and all of your work will be for NOTHING!" Being told stuff that over and over again can make a guy ridiculously paranoid. My story has been written and finished, and it is all about 33 pages in total. I have to create its website so that it has the proper setup, so that it looks appealing. If things go well, it will be up and running before the month is up, or the beginning of next month.
I didn't expect everyone to jump into helping head first. The poll was mainly to give me a general idea on people's feelings and interests in genre, and to perk interests into what it could be. Once it was up and running, I would then invite members of the forum to read my story. Initially, I actually wanted to hold a contest on a site that I'm a member. No money was involved, and the only form of currency accepted were points that could only be used for promotional activities. Even with that, no one I asked for advise on how to run it really wanted to touch the subject, so I had to abandon it. Maybe I can try again some other time, except use real money as an award to winners and afford someone who is not afraid to answer my questions.
I see myself as a literary artist. Not all too good at dialogue though, but I'm working on it.
Now that I'm thinking of it, I could post some bits of my story in my sketchbook. Would you be interested in reading them?

Palyi is spot on. The American people, at least those of us who live and work on Main Street, are about to find out where "down the river" is. There is no stopping the destruction of the dollar now. The FED has fired an empty gun, once again, for no other reason than to please the too big to fail banks and Wall Street. Their collective short-term thinking has doomed us all to something much worse than the great depression, because there will be no recovery.
Excellent article,
I see I have some reading to do, I have not heard of Palyi
Fiat money has created unimagined prosperity.
Palyi if around would have eaten his words.
Given the number of economists who have ever lived and have ever written, it is not hard to find someone who wrote something to support any given policy position. It's totally meaningless to pull this guy's ancient essay out of the ether and suggest that he has some valuable insights for policymakers today.
Furthermore, you aren't reaching back in time for the ancient wisdom of some wise economist either. You have reached back in time for an ancient essay by some random nobody. This just happens to be some guy who had the view you're looking for.
This is a very disappointing post.

Agree completely. The WSJ should do better, much better.

Does anyone on here make comments on anonymous confessions just to try to get the anonymous person to reveal themselves?
Since I'm still pretty new on ep I don't totally understand the anonymous hoohah ...people can chose to be as anonymous as they want anyway - or not - so what's the point of anonymous posts? (I think I just confused myself by my own answer).

Can I answer this question anonymously? :)
Nope, I don't even read them. Too many about séx or suicide/cutting.
Never. Maybe I should.... Just kidding. No, never. I've had authors contact me privately numerous times though.
No how would they reveal themselves?I don't mind anonymous postings it is the whether they are female or not that can be bothersome.
Oh i did not know that,thank you for telling me.I have never posted anon so I just didn't know and I have been on here almost 2 yrs.
I don't like when they ask for your personal contact info. Even I know they can't see the idiot light flashing above my head.

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 11 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Shaz Functional and Cute I like this particular sports bra because it does it's job. Great hold for running/ boot camp style workouts and gym workouts. The only thing I really don't like and this is about most sports bras is that they are expensive. I feel like of I could get two for the price of one i would like it even more. I could give it an excellent instead of just a good. Either way I like the product it looks super cute and does what I need it to do so I am pleased! July 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Missy Great fit for my pre-teen daughter I bought a few of these for my 11 year old daughter. It seems all the girls are wearing these instead of regular bras. It fits nice, the coverage is great and it's very comfortable according to her. She's happy so I'm happy! July 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by J1107lowe Like it... But runs small Although this is a nice sports bra, I do not feel it's true to fit. The tag said it fits size "C" which I am and it's very snug to get on and off. A size "C" was a medium size sports bra, which is what was shown on the tag. Once I get it on it does not bother me, but when I have to take it off it's very, very hard. I recommend this bra, just go bigger in size. July 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by daylily75019 love this bra I Love the fit and the vibrant color of this sports bra. I find it holds the gals in very well for both cardio and heavy lifting! July 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Stef great support with vibrant colors love the bright colors and design. Good support for running. Have always liked the NIKE brand July 3, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sean Mc Good support. These over the shoulder boulder holders keep my old lady's lumps in the general vacinity of where the Good Lord put them before the effects of time, gravity and running around like a braless heathen for many years took their inevitable toll.

Thank you Dick's! June 24, 2014

First jump? How many have you done?
That picture is sweet. I'm so scared to do it, but I want too anyway. Soon enough I will do it!
I have only done two with a jump school, but I have done quite a few with the Air Force. I understand why people are afraid, falling to the earth at 120 MPH is pretty intense, but if you look into the safety statistics there really isn't much to be scared about. Just make sure the place you go to is licensed through the USPA (US Parachute Association). Here is another photo...
Nice Where did that first jump take place?
I did it in Racine, WI, which is a little town just north of the Illinois border. A co-workers boyfriend owns the company. He runs the jump school in the summer and moves to Africa to run motorcycle safaris in the winter!
I'm familiar with Racine... I rode my bike up that way once. It all sounds like a lot of people have a blast skydiving, and I probably would too if I ever made it up there. I'm a little bit of a baby when it comes to stuff like that.
Trish I feel the same way. It's scares me to death, but it would be an amazing feeling to face that fear and do it. Maybe someday.
I admire you for doing it Wilco. Looks awesome!

Hating the Mirror
Guest blogger Valerie Frankel: Here's how I learned to stop hating my reflection and loving myself.
Me and the mirror. Call it a hate-hate relationship. I'd look at myself to find the smallest physical flaws, and then savagely criticize myself about them. To improve my body image and mental health, I had to learn to shut up my Inner Bitch -- for good.
To do this, I decided to count the number of negative thoughts I had each day and consciously reduce them. This would include critical mirror moments, when I compared myself unfavorably to other women, or had a random self-hate flash like, "jeans too tight ... fat stomach ... gross."
In one day, I counted 263 distinct instances. Calculators out: That breaks down to one negative thought every three-and-a-half minutes. It was worse than I could have imagined!
I was my own worst enemy. Negative thoughts were the glue that held my subconscious together. Shocked and horrified, I vowed to make a positive turn -- and hoped my outlook would improve as my thoughts did.
I steared clear of mirrors. When I walked down the street, I'd stare straight ahead to avoid my reflection in car and storefront windows. If I thought that my clothes were snug, instead of berating myself, I changed outfits. Slowly but significantly, I cut down my negativity -- and felt a bit better.
And then, much better. About a month into this project, I was walking my daughter Lucy home from school. We passed a huge store window, as always.
For weeks, I'd purposefully looked straight ahead, to avoid the reflection. But on that day, I turned my head to gaze at Lucy instead. When she noticed I was looking at her -- not at the window, not straight ahead -- she smiled up at me, big and beautiful. I was suddenly overcome with gratitude for her being my daughter, for her innate happiness and joy.
How many of those moments had I missed while frowning at my reflection in storefront windows? Too many.
Since then, I've aspired to look for joy, and not flaws, in myself and the world around me. In the process, I've gained a better outlook -- and became a better person, too.

Beautiful post I'm trying to get to your way of thinking more than less often. Thanks needed a pick me up : )

Junk silver is a term used informally in countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia for silver coins that have no collectible value and are only worth the amount of the silver contained within the coin. These coins are popular with those that want to invest in small amounts of silver. Junk silver is not the same as scrap silver, as the term only means that the coins are not valuable to collectors, not that the coins are in poor condition.
Precious metals such as silver are weighed in troy ounces (ozt). The market price of a troy ounce of silver that is 99.9-percent pure silver (also called 999 fine) is referred to as the spot price. Junk-silver coins, like all silver coins, are made from a silver alloy that contains anywhere from 35 to 90-pecent or more of silver. The 90-percent silver alloy commonly used to mint silver U.S. coins is often referred to simply as "coin silver."
Combinations of 90% US silver coins with a face value of US$1.00 contain 0.715 troy ounces of 99.9-percent silver, while uncirculated coins contain 0.7234 troy ounces with the exception of Morgan and Pearce silver dollars, which have a silver content of .7736 troy ounces. Put another way, there is one troy ounce of 99.9-percent silver in any combination of 90-percent silver United States coins, with a collective value that totals US$1.40.
