Gerald Duverger, who gets around in a wheelchair and lives on disability benefits in a cheap North Miami apartment, didn't appear to enjoy the life of a fabulously paid entertainment executive.
Yet the Internal Revenue Service readily bought into his claim that he was a Capitol Records honcho when he sought a $613,034 refund on his 2011 income-tax return.
The IRS cut him a check for that astronomical sum, with the proceeds deposited into Duverger's fictitious lawn-care business account at a Wells Fargo branch, federal authorities say. Flush with a small fortune, Duverger tried to cheat the IRS again on his 2012 return. Investigators say he even helped two associates, Jean Louis and Jeaneno Florent, concoct similar high-glitz jobs to file for massive refunds — with one $600,000-plus payment delivered to an address for a Boston homeless shelter.
For sheer brazenness, the trio — who all face trials or sentencing in Miami federal court in January and February — stand out in an increasingly crowded field of accused tax-fraud offenders in South Florida, among the nation's hot spots for the fast-spreading crime.
Most scammers steal Social Security numbers and claim thousands of dollars in fraudulent refunds in their victims' names. According to authorities, Duverger and his two associates had the audacity to file for gargatuan refund claims in their own names, scoring a lottery-like windfall from the government .
"Sometimes people get lucky," Louis told federal agents after they arrested him and Duverger at a Citibank branch in Miami Beach in July.
Duverger, 34, has already pleaded guilty and faces sentencing in February. But Louis, 40, and Florent, 38, face separate federal trials on Monday and Jan. 27, respectively. Duverger and Louis, along with their attorneys, could not be reached.
Florent's attorney, Michael B. Cohen said he "intends to vigorously defend this case before a jury" and that he hopes "the public realizes that Mr. Florent is cloaked with a presumption of innocence and is entitled to his day in court."
IRS officials in South Florida and Washington declined to comment on how the agency wound up paying the men more than $1.8 million in 2012-13 before criminal investigators apprehended them.
While not commenting about specific cases, U.S. Attorney Wifredo Ferrer said the dual crimes of tax fraud and ID theft closely rival the long-running crisis of Medicare fraud — and that the public needs to be vigilant with the tax season around the corner.
"The parallels between this scheme and Medicare fraud are astonishing," Ferrer told the Miami Herald. "Here is another pot of taxpayer dollars being targeted by criminals."
"The hope is that this will not be such a problem in the future," said Ferrer, who set up a task force in 2012 to stop the spread of the viral crime.
Since 2012, his office's crackdown has led to ever-rising prosecutions: more than 270 defendants, with about $449 million in tax-refund claims involving stolen identities, $97 million in IRS payments, and 76,700 ID thefts.
Ferrer said his office has used "preventive" tools as well: In South Florida, IRS criminal investigators have suspended a total of 70 "electronic filing ID numbers" that allowed individuals to file tax returns on behalf of other taxpayers. The numbers were used to file 53,900 fraudulent tax-refund claims over the past two years. These numbers are normally used to file legitimate returns by accountants and other tax preparers.
Nationwide, IRS criminal investigators said this week that they opened 1,492 identity theft-related refund probes last year — a two-thirds increase over 2012.
Tax-refund fraud has been an embarrassing problem for the IRS, the nation's tax collector. The various schemes — most involving stolen IDs of legitimate taxpayers, such as hospital patients — have robbed the U.S. government of billions of dollars yearly since the crime began spreading in 2008, according to a Treasury Department report.
The IRS has been criticized by the Government Accountability Office for being part of the problem because the agency has routinely failed to match employees' income documents with those provided by employers before issuing refunds.
The federal watchdog agency found that the IRS doesn't cross-check W-2 forms until months after the filing season ends on April 15. Employers file them in late February or early March; the IRS does not match them up with employees' 1040 income forms until June.
That's way too late to catch identity thieves who file false returns in other people's names early in the year and have already received and cashed refund checks.
IRS officials have told congressional lawmakers that the political mandate for fast refunds has been a contributing factor to the problem. But they also have pledged to improve technology that helps detect stolen identities and fabricated returns.
Florida has the highest rate of identity theft in the country, with 361 complaints per 100,000 residents in 2012, according to the Federal Trade Commission. The problem is nearly twice as bad in the Miami area, with 645 complaints per 100,000 residents. Many of them are Haitian Americans like Duverger, Louis and Florent.
In South Florida, Tampa and other regions of the country, perpetrators routinely steal the names, dates of birth and Social Security numbers of people, including prisoners, the poor and even children. They are attractive targets because they don't file income tax returns. As a result, the IRS can't detect duplicate filings.
Among the notable offenders have been two Miami police officers, Malinsky Bazile and Vital Frederick. Both are awaiting sentencing after being convicted at separate trials in October of stealing people's identities from the Florida drivers' license database to file fraudulent refund claims.
That same month, a former North Miami gang member, Frantz Pierre, and two other defendants, his brother, Terry Pierre, and Frantz's girlfriend, Christmanie Bissainthe, were convicted at trial on charges of stealing thousands of prisoners' identities to submit $2.2 milllion in false tax returns in South Florida.
The IRS paid about $1.9 million in refunds loaded onto debit cards — money that Frantz Pierre used to buy a seven-bedroom mansion in Parkland. When federal agents arrested him in 2012, they also spotted an associate tossing laptops from the second floor of Pierre's residence towards the pool.
The three defendants face sentencing on Jan. 22.
Also facing sentencing this month: A Miami-Dade man who orchestrated a $1.5 million refund racket by submitting returns with phony tax credits. In November, Rigoberto Cabrera was convicted at a Fort Lauderdale trial for splittng dozens of refunds ranging from $40,000 to $60,000 each with taxpayers who used their own names.
His accomplice, Carlos Lopez, who set up a shell company called Big Records so that he and Cabrera could collect their share of the large IRS refunds, pleaded guilty in September.
Meanwhile, the cases of the bogus entertainment executives go to trial this month.
According to a criminal affidavit, Duverger claimed he earned $8.7 million working for Capitol Records, with the company withholding about $3.5 million in taxes.
In January 2012, Duverger sought a refund of $613,034 in his name. The IRS paid the refund, with the proceeds deposited into the Wells Fargo account of his business, Lawn Care and Landscape Design, which used an apartment address in North Miami.
"In reality, the defendant had not worked at Capitol Records and was not entitled to this refund," Duverger admitted in a statement as part of a plea agreement struck with federal prosecutor Michael Berger. "The defendant withdrew the proceeds of that refund for his own personal benefit."
Duverger was also accused of helping a North Miami associate, Florent, file an identical 2011 tax return under the same scheme of pretending to be a Capitol Records executive. In 2012, the IRS paid that refund, too, but it was delivered to a homeless shelter in Boston, where Florent picked up the check. He deposited it into a Boston bank account, and "withdrew the proceeds for his own benefit," according to an indictment.
Last year, both men tried to file similar 2012 tax returns using the same Capitol Records cover story, but the IRS rejected their huge refund claims the second time.
Duverger also assisted another North Miami associate, Louis, file a 2012 tax return under a similar ruse, according to the criminal affidavit and an indictment.
Louis claimed to earn $9.8 million as an executive for Warner Brothers Distribution Corp. and that the company withheld $3.8 million for taxes. He sought a $600,281, which the IRS paid last year with about $3,500 in interest via direct deposit into Louis' business, J.L.L. Multi Services, at a Citibank branch in Miami Beach.
Louis also wrote checks for $8,000 each to two people who assisted him, including Duverger, according to the criminal affidavit.
Louis, who once worked in a Miami-Dade bait store, wanted to withdraw some money from his Citibank account, the affdavit said. The branch manager told him to bring in his documents to verify the large refund deposit.
Last July, Louis, accompanied by Duverger and another unidentified person, visited the Citibank branch. Bank officials alerted the Miami Beach Police Department, and officers detained the three for questioning, the affidavit said. Police also called IRS criminal investigators and a U.S. Postal inspector.
The investigators found a blue file folder in Louis' possession, which included his 2012 tax return and a J.L.L. Multi Services check for $25,000 issued to him.
Louis told IRS agents that Duverger helped him prepare his refund claim. After he made the remark about being "lucky," Louis was arrested and his bank account was frozen. Duverger, also taken into custody, pleaded guilty to fraud charges in November.
Florent was also charged last July, but investigators didn't have to look far for him. He was already in custody awaiting a state trial on armed robbery charges.

Recycled Glass Soda Bottles for Dish Soap, Oil, and Vinegar
Take a look at these vintage soda bottles, recycled by Monika into easy-pour bottles for her oil and vinegar. This is an easy way to make your kitchen a little nicer and reuse something in the process: get rid of your ugly branded dish soap bottle!
We have encouraged you to get rid of your dish soap bottle before. There are three good reasons for this:
- Aesthetics and functionality: You can replace a big, heavy, or ugly bottle with something more squeezable, something more beautiful, or just more functional.
- Frugality: When you have a standard bottle in your kitchen you can just buy bags of generic dish soap, or buy it in bulk.
- Water it down: Most dish soap is much too concentrated. In fact, it's so concentrated that it doesn't do a good job cleaning the dishes. This is counter-intuitive but true; it takes a lot more water to lather it up and wash the slick, heavy soap off the dishes. I dilute my dish soap with an equal amount of water, and it actually works better (and lasts twice as long too).
These recycled soda bottles are a very cute option, especially for a bright mod or vintage kitchen.
You can do the same with vinegar or oil, too. I buy my basic olive oil in huge cans and refill a darkly-tinted bottle every week. The dark tint protects the oil from the light, and I have an inexpensive plastic pourer that pours smoothly.
What about you? Do you switch out your dish soap, vinegar, oil, and other kitchen liquids into a reusable bottle?

I use an old San Pelligrino glass bottle for my Olive Oil- the green glass helps protect the oil, and it looks like on the counter. Plus I buy Olive Oil in huge tubs, so it's way easier to pour.
Never thought of doing it with soap, though...
This came just in time for me to finish off an Izze bottle... I never thought about repurposing them until now, but i LOVE the white label on them. Good idea, AT :)
I think glass soap me = increased household use of First Aid kit.
For the oil and vinegar, though, it's cool.
@JosieDaisy: I'm as uncoordinated as humans come, and I've never had an oops. (Well, I've dropped the bottle, sure, but never very far, and never causing breakage. Depends on what your sink's made of, I guess -- I've got stainless.)
Anybody have recommendations on a good-quality plastic pourer? I bought an olive oil bottle for dish soap years ago, but the water content of the dish soap caused the metal pourer to rust, so I'd have to poke with a dish brush to clear out the gross rusty goo every so often, and just tossed the thing and switched back to an old plastic hand lotion pump bottle. I'd prefer to have my pour-bottle back, though, with a rust-free spout.
Oh, and co-sign Faith re: watering soap down. You don't have to wait as long for the stream to start, you end up using less, and you don't have to work as hard to spread it out or rinse it off.
where do the tops come from?
On a cautionary note, be careful doing something like this if you have kids in the house.
I remember a story here (UK) of a child unknowingly drinking cleaning products from a repurposed lemonade bottle.
It did not end well for the child.
I did that at primary school (turps I think) when I was 6. Hiccupped all evening, never told my mum or a teacher. But I have to say the turps had been decanted into a small fizzy drinks bottle and a group of children where trying to get others to do it. I was a naive little one. But there is definitely a need to be cautious round small kids.
I am a 42yr mum myself now, so it ended fine for this child.
Also why do you need to water down dishwashing detergent? Don't you just squirt a tiny bit in sink full of hot water?
Bed, Bath, and Beyond carries the spouts. Amazon.com and other websites also sell many variations if you search for "bottle spout" or "bottle pourer".
Question: Is there any brand of eco-friendly dish soap that comes in the inexpensive bags like you mentioned? Repurposing a soda bottle for dish soap is great, but not if you end up putting hazardous chemicals into the groundwater as a result.
I don't think it's a great idea to use for dish washing soap. It can make it very slippery and mighr break on you. I am using recycled liquor bottles for drinking water in the house. I keep one on my night stand with a glass on the side and two at the dinner table and a cold one in the fridge. It looks better than having plastic water bottles around.

Ingredient Spotlight: Worcestershire Sauce
Aside from the fact that we can never seem to spell it correctly, Worcestershire sauce is one of our favorite secret ingredients. It adds a punch of savory flavor to...well... just about anything we're cooking! Take a look...
The main ingredients that go into Worcestershire sauce include vinegar, molasses, tamarind, hot chilis, and a warming spice like clove or cinnamon. Many varieties also include anchovies, so keep an eye out for that if you're a vegetarian.
When used in combination like this, these ingredients create a balance of flavors that hit all the main points on your tongue - sweet and salty, spicy and sour. A few tablespoons added to a braise or a soup help to deepen the background umami flavors and perk up the high notes.
Aside from braises and soups, we use Worcestershire sauce to add dimension to marinades, bean dishes, stir fries, pan sauces, and even bloody mary mixes! It's so versatile that Saveur Magazine named Worcestershire sauce in its Top 100 list this past year and included a recipe for making it at home (link below).
A little of this sauce definitely goes a long way. If you're not used to using it, start by adding one teaspoon at a time and tasting the dish between each teaspoon. We often add it at the end of cooking when we're looking for that little "something extra" to add depth to our dish.
Are you a fan of this sauce? Where do you use it the most?

The Worchestershire sauce in my cabinet gets used most often for this homemade onion dip. Yum!
Yum! I put a splash of Worcestershire sauce in just about any dish with red meat.
Always put Worcestershire sauce in your hamburger patties.
As an aside, when I was a little kid (5 or 6ish) my dad convinced me that they call it Worcestershire sauce because people kept saying "What's this here sauce" really fast and the name stuckdd.
My favourite way to use it is to slice an avocado in half, put a bunch of worcestershire sauce in the hole left by the pit, then eat the avocado and sauce with a spoon. yum!
I also always put it in hamburgers and meatloaf.
My mom sautees onions in worcestershire sauce. Still the best sauteed onions I've ever eaten.
Being from England, I always have to tell Americans to pronounce the stuff correctly: wuh-stuh (Brits almost always call it this), though wuh-stuh-shuh is acceptable.
Not War-chester-shire!

+ Iannello drops out of commission race
Longboat Key resident Joseph Iannello, who qualified to run against Commissioner Terry Gans for the one-year at-large seat in March last month, notified Town Clerk Trish Granger last week he was withdrawing from the race.
"Regretfully, I would like to inform you that I must withdraw my name as a candidate for Town Commission," wrote Iannello.
Gans is now the only qualified candidate for the one-year at-Large seat.
The deadline to have all paperwork turned in to Town Hall and be qualified for the March 19 election at noon Nov. 19.
+ Spencer resigns from pension board
Longboat Key town employee Donna Spencer has resigned her position on the General Employees Pension Board. Spencer was also the chair of that board.
"Due to personal reasons, I regretfully tender my resignation to the General Employees Retirement System Board of Trustees," Spencer wrote in a Nov. 6 email to fellow and former board members and Town Clerk Trish Granger.
A new board member and a new chair will most likely be appointed at the board's 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 28 quarterly meeting at Town Hall.

• In a Nov. 8 story about parking enforcement, the Ticket Tally chart should have read that in August there were 193 tickets issued on St. Armands Circle and 1,720 tickets issued citywide. It also should have stated in September there were 131 tickets issued on the Circle.
• In the Nov. 8 "Welcome Back" issue, the Longboat Observer unintentionally omitted the name of Frances Feinberg, 99, of Longboat Key, in its list of residents who died over the summer. Ms. Feinberg was active in the Longboat Harbour Harbourettes and was known for her work with the seashells she collected from the Gulf of Mexico. She died July 12.

Hathor is the Ancient Egyptian goddess who personifies the principles of love, beauty, music, dance, motherhood and joy. She is one of the most important and popular deities throughout the history of Ancient Egypt. Hathor was worshiped by Royalty and non royals alike in whose tombs she is depicted as "Mistress of the West" welcoming the dead into the next life. In other roles she was a goddess of music, dance, foreign lands and fertility who helped women in childbirth, as well as the patron goddess of miners.
The cult of Hathor pre-dates the historical period and the roots of devotion to her are, therefore, difficult to trace, though it may be a development of predynastic cults who venerated the fertility, and nature in general, represented by cows.
Hathor is commonly depicted as a cow goddess with head horns in which is set a sun disk with Uraeus. Twin feathers are also sometimes shown in later periods as well as a menat necklace. Hathor may be the cow goddess who is depicted from an early date on the Narmer Palette and on a stone urn dating from the 1st dynasty that suggests a role as sky-goddess and a relationship to Horus who, as a sun god, is "housed" in her.
The Ancient Greeks identified Hathor with the goddess Aphrodite and the Romans as Venus.
As Hathor's cult developed from prehistoric cow cults it is not possible to say conclusively where devotion to her first took place. Dendera in Upper Egypt was a significant early site where she was worshiped as "Mistress of Dendera". From the Old Kingdom era she had cult sites in Meir and Kusae with the Giza-Saqqara area perhaps being the centre of devotion. At the start of the first Intermediate period Dendera appears to have become the main cult site where she was considered to be the mother as well as the consort of "Horus of Edfu".Deir el-Bahri, on the west bank of Thebes, was also an important site of Hathor that developed from a pre-existing cow cult.
Temples (and chapels) dedicated to Hathor:

No, you don't have to worry about catching the flu right now. But there's one thing you have to watch out for and it's something that really makes summer-time... summer-time! We're talking about the sun!
So if you wind up with a sunburn, here's what you need to know. We've got three tips offered by Mayo Clinic doctors.
First, keep the burn cool, whether that's with a cool compress or a cool bath. Next, keep the sunburn moist with aloe or some other kind of lotion. You also want to take an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory, which is perfect for a sunburn.
In rare cases, you may need to see the doctor because of your sunburn. Here's what to look for: First, if the burn covers a large part of your body with blisters. Another thing to look for is a high fever. And if the sunburn doesn't improve after a few days, it's time to seek help.
These are just a few things to keep in mind, because the sun isn't going anywhere. And we know you want to get out and enjoy it. Just do it safely.

"I regret the choice of words I used," Cashman said Wednesday, later adding: "I think we're both at fault."

Cashman said Steinbrenner spoke with Rodriguez when the owner was working out in the weight room at the team's complex in Tampa, where Rodriguez has been rehabbing lately.
Cashman said Steinbrenner reiterated to A-Rod that injury information should be announced by the team, not individual players on social media.
"Alex grabbed Hal and they had a conversation. Hal reiterated about — he did it in a more professional way maybe than I did — but about managing from the top down rather than from the bottom up, which obviously is how I reacted from yesterday's tweeting and contradicting statements and things of that nature," Cashman said. "He got the message, I know that."
Cashman said the Yankees want a healthy A-Rod back at third base as soon as possible, and dismissed the notion that the club would rather he not hurry back because it could collect insurance on his hefty salary, or because he could be facing a suspension from Major League Baseball for his alleged involvement in the Biogenesis drug scandal.
"False and false," Cashman said.
Rodriguez did not stop to speak with reporters Wednesday when he drove into the team's minor league complex in Tampa.
"I will continue to work hard until my efforts get me back in pinstripes and help my team win," he said in a statement. "The tweet was pure excitement about Dr. Kelly's prognosis."
Cashman initially said Rodriguez did not get back to him after he tried to contact the slugger Tuesday night, but just before the first pitch Wednesday, Yankees spokesman Jason Zillo told reporters that Rodriguez called Cashman around 5:30 p.m., and spoke with the GM and team president Randy Levine.
Zillo said they spoke for nearly 30 minutes and everyone "fully understands the protocol and processes in place."
"It was a constructive, healthy conversation. Everybody is on the same page and we're all going to communicate and work together to get Alex back as quickly as possible," Zillo said. "They're all back on track."

With all of her prior backstage issues, there are those that believe that Rosa Mendes might have been a good candidate to generate interest in Total Divas, but it appears that WWE did not consider that possibility very seriously at all. Officials opted to go with Summer Rae as the new cast member.
There are many within WWE that believe that Rosa Mendes might have fabricated the domestic abuse story involving she and then boyfriend Jackson Andrews, a former developmental wrestler for the company. Many started doubting her because of her antics on the road.
"Late night YouTube watching was a bad idea. So many boys pretending to be professional wrstlers. A pair of trunks and a ring don't make you a wrestler."
- Mike Bennett bashing fans who are amateur wrestlers
Since every wrestling fan on the planet is curious about CM Punk leaving WWE, TNA has decided to take advantage of the situation by posting several of his matches for free on their YouTube account this week. Punk worked for the company during their early years.
Edge recently paid a surprise visit to a comedy show that Mick Foley was doing in New York, and the video of that appearance has now surfaced online.
Even though she is no longer with the company, WWE has decided to feature Beth Phoenix and her Glam Slam finisher on an episode of 30 Second Fury.
At a Dragon Gate USA show, Kassius Ohno, who was recently released by WWE, took a jab at Triple H by having his opponent doing the crotch chop and Pedigree finisher, which Ohno was able to kick out of at the one count.
TNA released a video, where Bobby Roode attacked James Storm inside of a bar in Orlando.
In order to give him a little bit of momentum heading into the Survivor Series, Alberto Del Rio was given a victory over Santino Marella on WWE Main Event this week.
An announcement has been made that Shark Boy will be returning to TNA this week on the special Turning Point edition of Impact Wrestling.
Former WWE star Nikolai Volkov and former NWA star Bobby Fulton were forced to wrestle on a mat at an independent wrestling show in a small town in Ohio recently, as promoters were unable to secure a ring for them to work on.
Wade Barrett does the Miz entrance on WWE 2K14.
Rosa Mendes posted a picture on Twitter of herself and Alicia Fox wearing cheerleader outfits while backstage at a WWE event.
The seven girls of Total Divas were able to beat the other WWE divas in a traditional Survivor Series match. Natalya and Nikki Bella were the last two standing in the ring at the end.
Prior to dropping out of college to pursue a career in modeling, Rosa Mendes studied business at the University of British Columbia.

Gardner Expressway is reopened after a two-vehicle accident blocked the highway in both directions on Monday morning.
The accident happened between a semi truck and a car near the ADM plant entrance at 1900 Gardner Expressway shortly before 9:30 a.m.
The Adams County Sheriff's Office says the driver of the semi, 69-year-old Harold Flesner, pulled out in front of the car. Authorities say the car's driver tried to stop, but hit the semi trailer.
After crews used the jaws of life to open up the car, a female with moderate injuries was taken to Blessing Hospital by ambulance.
Flesner was ticketed for failure to yield.

Shucks, thank you! <3 I like yours as well, and I hope you keep on enjoying. x
3 doves fly far away,
they swim through the sky,
to a new land, full of decay.
They visited me in late November,
slipping through my palms,
maybe they wanted me, begged me to remember.
I visited you, I ran through the trees,
to find you on the floor,
your head on your knees.
I held your hands,
feeling the remnants of your heart,
as the cracks broke through, and tore down all the land.
-Courtney Llove Taylor
The last feather cradles to the floor,
golden bird named hope flies away,
i can feel the rumble, as a tear comes from the core.
The wind's blowing south,
fiercely it takes the final flowers away with it,
I'm whispering a sweet song, but it barely comes out of my mouth.
If I could, I'd sprinkle the world with silver glitter dust,
as the trees sway along with the sweet lullaby,
I yell a tune of longing, a sound of 'I must'.
-Courtney Llove Taylor

MEMPHIS, TN (WMC-TV) - Soon, residents of Downtown Memphis won't have to drive to Mud Island or Midtown to buy groceries.
Wednesday, Hamida Mandani continued to add finishing touches to her new City Market Grocery Store and Deli, located at the corner of Union Avenue and Main.
Madani believes the store is what Memphis' downtown district has always needed.
"We have lots of friends that we know downtown," she said. "They've always talked about something like this coming to downtown and we thought we could definitely cater to their needs."
The nearly 3,000 square foot facility is not officially open for business; however, Mandani is leaving the doors unlocked so customers can check it out and make suggestions.
"We want people to feel welcomed," she said. "Let them just walk in and see what we're going to carry."
Mandani qualified for a $40,000 forgivable loan from the Center City Commission., an incentive designed to spur new retail on Main Street during the recession.
"We had to show them our business plan," she said. "They had to study the business plan to make sure this kind of business is needed downtown. That was the very first qualification."
Mandani said the grocery store and deli will cater to the health conscience.
"My husband is more about eating healthy food, so I'll just keep it healthy and organic as much as possible," she said.
The business is in walking distance from just about everything downtown, including the new site for Pinnacle Airlines Corporate Headquarters at One Commerce Square.
"We've been following Pinnacle Airlines," Mandani said. "It actually happened after we gotten this. But it has come as a blessing. We're looking forward to it."
Mandani says City Market Grocery and Deli plans to officially open its doors by Friday of this week.

DIY Alphabet Stamps
We came upon this terrific idea to make your own alphabet stamps over at Bloesem Kids. How you ask? It's simple. You just need the following:
Foam alphabet puzzles, wooden blocks, and double-sided tape. Just punch out the letters in your alphabet puzzles and affix to wooden blocks using the double-sided tape. Then stamp away! Kristen of New House Project made this adorable hand-stamped print shown above. It's a great art project but also a great tool for young ones to learn their letters.

I can't seem to find wooden blocks like that anywhere - where did you find them?
They have them at my local Michaels store.

Hey guys!
So Im really really bad at making things on a paint program (if you look at my personal Tumblr, you can see I am pretty lame at it LOL). I would really like an awesome header for the top of the sciencepalettes Tumblr to tie up the look of the page, so this got me thinking:
We have over 200 followers, Im sure at least one out of 200+ computer saavy people can make one that would be amazing!
I could have a contest!
Because Im a lowly, poor college student, I cant promise a crazy extravagant prize, BUT I can offer a first prize $20 online gift certificate to Amazon.com!
-Keep it within the theme of science
-Appropriate for everyone (dur!)
-Be creative! This is something everyone will see on the top of the page
-Make it easy for me to upload pleeeaaaase! Please dont submit something I have to resize, edit, etc etc. Keep within the header upload limits!
Have fun with it!
And remember, the first prize is only worth $20 for amazon, so dont spend insane amounts of time doing it!
Contest will end officially on May 5th 2012. I will announce the winner and obviously let people know on sciencepalettes you designed it!
Message me with any questions! Thanks for all the support everyone.
Thank you! :)
I will try and vary the subject matter of the palettes so it will be fairly evenly distributed. There will be loads of different things science related! Rocks and gems included! Im trying to make this somewhat educational, but also aesthetically pleasing. Science is awesome!
I have a Vector calculus exam tomorrow. Wish me luck xP
In other news, there are about 14-15 new science palettes in queue! I hope you guys like them! There several in there I cant stop looking at :)
It's actually really easy! I use paint.net and use the dropper tool and just make bars and fill them with the colors I think represent the photo the best. I think photoshop and others have an addon that will do this for you but I enjoy making them manually :)
Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it!
Wow 36 followers already! Thanks guys!
I will try my best to keep a steady upkeep of these on que, maybe 2-3 or 4 a day (I dont wanna flood your dashboard) :D
I also want to use this blog to educate people on what they're seeing. I will try and link some facts correlating to each picture. I really want to push science education to people because it's beautiful and humbling at the same time.
Thanks to landscapepalettes, videogamepalettes and dessertpalettes who also do really beautiful and gorgeous tumbling <3 Please follow them all if you can. They are the starters of this :)
PS: Feel free to ask me anything or message me with any requests, Im quite friendly for a science nerd.

Voters in Benton and Linn County will weigh in on school funding during Tuesday's special election.
Center Point-Urbana Community School District is hoping a $12-million bond referendum will help them renovate three schools: CP-U's intermediate, middle and high school. If the bond referendum passes, the district hopes to replace portions of the intermediate and middle school. The money would also replace the heating and cooling systems in both schools, as well as, help both schools meet fire safety and handicap accessibility requirements. More than $3.4 million would also go toward constructing industrial technology classrooms at the high school. For more information on what CP-U plans on doing with the money, click here.
Meanwhile, voters in the Linn-Mar School District will decide whether to renew the current Physical Plant and Equipment Levy (PPEL). The levy money will be used to repair roofs, parking lots, and heating and cooling systems, as well as, to purchase school buses and technology for classrooms. For more information on Linn-Mar's PPEL, click here.
Polls are open from 7 a.m. – 8 p.m.

Menstrual Cramps
By Terry Grossman, md
I've suffered from debilitating menstrual cramps ever since I went through puberty. Can you tell me how I can end this monthly cycle of agony?
Menstrual cramps, also known as dysmenorrhea, are most commonly the result of high levels of prostaglandins, a type of inflammatory chemical created in the uterus. Of the many different types of prostaglandins, three relate to dysmenorrhea: PGE1 and PGE3, which decrease inflammation, and PGE2, which increases it. Your goal in controlling menstrual cramps is to decrease PGE2 while increasing PGE1 and PGE3.
Conventional medical therapy for dysmenorrhea relies on the use of a group of anti-inflammatory drugs known as NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like aspirin and ibuprofen). But NSAIDs have a major shortcoming because they are nonspecific, meaning they block production of all three dysmenorrhea prostaglandins, both pro- and anti-inflammatory. By blocking production of the proinflammatory PGE2, they help reduce discomfort. But since they block production of the anti-inflammatory PGE1 and PGE3 as well, they increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and hemorrhage. NSAIDs, in fact, cause 100,000 hospitalizations and 16,500 deaths in the US each year. By using nutritional methods, however, you can easily help the body get its chemistry right.
Prostaglandins are made from fatty acids. By modifying the types of fat you consume in your diet, you can manipulate your prostaglandin levels in favor of more PGE1 and PGE 3 and less PGE2. The latter comes from omega-6 fatty acids, while PGE1 and PGE 3 derive from the omega-3 fats. The precursor to PGE 2 is an omega-6 fat known as arachidonic acid (AA). The body produces AA naturally, but it also comes from dietary sources. To reduce menstrual cramps you need to cut off the supply of AA. You should begin by eliminating or sharply reducing rich dietary sources of AA such as egg yolks, beef, lamb, and high-fat dairy products. The natural production of AA in the body increases whenever you consume sugar or other high-glycemic foods such as white potatoes, white flour, and bananas. You want to minimize these foods during the second half of your cycle and during the menses as well. Eating fresh vegetables, whole grains, fruit, and moderate amounts of protein foods such as seafood and soy, will reduce AA production as well.
The anti-inflammatory/pain-reducing prostaglandins PGE1 and PGE3 come directly from the beneficial fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Consuming cold water fish or fish and krill oils will increase EPA levels. Vegetarians can produce EPA indirectly from the omega-3 fats found in flax and walnuts. The two main omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil are EPA and DHA. For general health, adult women should take a daily dose of 1,100 mg of combined EPA/DHA (1,600 mg for men). To treat menstrual cramps, you will often need to take larger doses. A teaspoon of cod liver oil contains about 1,000 mg of EPA/ DHA...

Scrub Up to Wind Down
Written on March 4, 2013 at 9:43 am , by Fitness Magazine
The shower is my escape after a long, busy week. There's nothing better than coming home on a Friday night, running a hot shower, and washing away the day with a handful of my favorite scrub. The steam and the fragrance create my own little spa-like experience. Here are a few of my new faves:
Soap & Glory Scrub 'Em and Leave 'Em Body Exfoliator ($20, soapandglory.com)
This scrub hits all the right notes: magnolia, sandalwood and mandarin. It has an oriental fragrance, and it caught the attention of my friends and even scored me a few compliments.
Worth The Money
Clarins Exfoliating Body Scrub for Smooth Skin ($36, clarinsusa.com)
So this one's a bit of a splurge but this scrub's results make it worth it. The bamboo powders slough away dry, rough skin while the hydrating shea butter moisturizes my arms and legs so they look glowy and polished. Plus a little goes a long way so it lasts a long time.
Sweet Steal
Bath & Body Works Golden Sugar Scrub in Forever Red ($17, bathandbodyworks.com)
One whiff of this mouth-watering fragrance and you'll do a double-take at the price tag. The spicy vanilla rum scent feels sultry (like some pricier options) and the sugar crystals mixed with sweet apricot and almond oils make it a real treat for your skin.

How To Safely Exfoliate On Sunny Days
Written on July 10, 2012 at 11:06 am , by Fitness Magazine
Dry, dead skin is our summer glow's kryptonite. From the sticky gym to grimy subway rides, we run our complexion into the ground. When our faces are nearly as flaky as our mom's apple pie crust, we turn to exfoliators to reveal young, radiant skin. We hit up Beverly Hills dermatologist Debra Luftman to give us the scoop on how to safely slough during sunny months.
New Skin + Sun = Damage Exfoliating reveals a brighter complexion, but you can actually do more harm than good if you're not cautious about staying out of the sun. "One needs to be careful during the summer after using peels and scrubs," Luftman says. "Skin can often be inflamed or more sun sensitive." She warns that because it is new, previously unexposed skin, permanent hyper pigmentation and/or scarring may occur.
Physical (And Chemical) Education There are a couple of ways to smooth your skin. Dr. Luftman breaks down the options:
Physical exfoliators: Srubs that physically remove the dead skin with beads, salt, sugar or a granular material. Choose a scrub with rounded, non-irritating beads, which won't tear or abrade the skin. Luftman's pick: Aveeno Positively Radiant Skin Brightening Daily Scrub
Chemical exfoliators: These contain acids like glycolic, salicylic, lactic and malic. These ingredients loosen and lift dead cells, leaving new, vibrant skin behind. Editor's pick: Murad Intensive-C Radiance Peel
Make A Weekend Of It "It's best to do a peel when there is an opportunity to stay out of the sun for at least two days, like on a weekend," Luftman says. "Even after the wait period, it's important to continually protect the skin with sunscreen." She recommends slathering a broad spectrum SPF 30 or above on all exposed areas daily. You can't overdo it!

Game of Thrones Tour of Northern Locations with Giant's Causeway
Whilst the hugely popular Game of Thrones TV series, adapted from George Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire novels, is filmed all over Europe, many of the key locations are based in Northern Ireland. On the Game of Thrones Tour in Belfast you will get the chance to see 7 iconic sites from Series 1 to 4 from your very own Maester.
Your local guide, fan of both the books & TV series, the Maester will discuss information from the Game of Thrones series, recall incredible tales of legend and local history that could come right out of the books.
If that's not enough perhaps some inside gossip on the cast and crew and if you do get into trouble.
Departing from central Belfast, you will also get to explore some of the gems of Northern Ireland such as Carrick-a-Rede, Ballintoy Harbour and the Giant's Causeway. You will be able to walk into the caves where Melisandre of Asshai gave birth to her 'shadow assassin' who went on to slay Renly Baratheon.
Hear tales of the power struggles, battles and trysts between the noble families of Westeros, and learn gossip about the morally dubious King Joffrey Baratheon. Travel to the Dark Hedge, with its natural archway of intertwined trees. The road is one of Northern Ireland's most photographed locations and the place where Arya Stark dressed as a boy to escape from King's Landing. Pose for pictures, and then continue your journey north.
The next destination is Lordsport, to witness where Theon Greyjoy would return to his family and betray those who raised him. However you will then visit the Camp of Renly Baratheon of Storm's End and stand at the victory of Brienne over the Knight of Flowers. A crucial part of any trip to Northern Ireland is to see the UNESCO-listed Giant's Causeway. Although it hasn't been featured in Game of Thrones, the spectacular site is a must see where you will have approx 1 ½ hours to explore.
The journey back to Belfast, includes one final stop at Dragonstone featured during the burning of the Seven Idols of Westeros. Your tour then finishes in the early evening back in Belfast where you will be dropped back at your hotel. CUSTOMER REVIEWS

This month Bombardier commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Learjet's first flight even as the company struggles to launch a larger new flagship, the Model 85, and switch to composite airframe construction. Since 1963, Learjet has become one of the world's most iconic brands, often generically misused to describe any make/model of private jet, and a conspicuous sign of affluence. Early Learjet owners included crooner Frank Sinatra and industrialist Louise Timken, and their aircraft were a far cry from the comfortable cabins of today.
Aviation International News » October 2013
Lockheed Martin, the Pentagon's largest supplier, has joined forces with Bell Helicopter on the V-280 being proposed for the DoD's joint multi-role (JMR) technology demonstrator program. The move by Lockheed Martin comes one month after the company announced it is developing a "universal" avionics and weapons package for the Army's JMR aircraft even before selection of an airframe. As many as 4,000 helicopters could be acquired under the program.
Bell Boeing, the joint venture that produces the V-22 and MV-22 tiltrotor for the Air Force, Navy and Marines, announced that it had successfully demonstrated the capability of that aircraft to serve as an aerial refueling tanker in trials with F/A-18C/D fighters. The test V-22 used a retractable refueling drogue. Bell Boeing has been promoting the V-22 for other roles, including that of the Greyhound COD resupply mission for aircraft carriers.
Yunnan Jingchen Group ordered one Sikorsky S-92 medium twin last month for transporting corporate and government VIPs. The group had just received Chinese government approval to establish a general aviation company, named the Ruili Helicopter Group. The newly ordered S-92 is scheduled for delivery in November 2015. It will become the second operated by Jingchen, after the first was delivered in June this year.
Sikorsky Aircraft and China's Changhe Aircraft Industries have signed an agreement for Changhe to produce cabins for the S-76D. Changhe, which had previously provided cabins for the predecessor S-76C++, will now serve as a second source for S-76D cabins, as Czech-based Aero Vodochody also supplies cabins. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2016.
The first prototype of the Marenco Swisshelicopter SKYe SH09 would be assembled "over the next weeks," the company predicted early last month. CEO Martin Stucki said testing of gearboxes and rotors was confirming expectations and simulations. The program's schedule has the prototype flying four to six weeks after the completion of final assembly.
China-based Henan New Continental Business Aviation has ordered two Eurocopter helicopters in VIP configuration. An AS350B3e Ecureuil/AStar single will be delivered at year-end and an EC145 Mercedes-Benz Style (the first such light twin to be sold in Asia) in the middle of next year. The operator plans to create a helicopter fleet for business passengers. "While VIP helicopter transportation in China is relatively young, the customers' needs are maturing rapidly," chairman Zhou Suiji stated.
AgustaWestland is flight-testing a redesigned vertical fin for the AW609 civil tiltrotor, part of an extensive package of aerodynamic improvements aimed at reducing drag by up to 10 percent, cutting weight and increasing performance. Other changes include new engine exhaust nozzles and modifications to the prop-rotor spinner cones.
Chinese media recently reported that Avic officials have ambitions of entering the high-speed rotorcraft market. The airframer's helicopter subsidiary is developing helicopters that will be able to reach 270 knots, said president Lin Zuoming. Meanwhile, Avicopter general manager Cai Yi stated, "Avicopter civil helicopters can join the ranks of the world's most advanced," adding that his company has mastered core technologies in key areas such as rotors, flight controls and avionics.
Prominently on display at the Aerial View Systems exhibit at next month's NBAA Convention will be the new AVS820-HD tail camera, which will also be featured on Gulfstream's new G280 demonstrator.
The camera was fabricated using a Catia/five-axis CNC and is already being delivered for the Boeing Business Jet and private 747. The company has also done drawings for a Falcon 900.
One of the more unusual aspects of Aerial View's AVS820-HD product is that it is delivered with a custom conforming enclosure, including heated sapphire window.

Where did you find the lighting? What is the stone on the wall? What color is the paint beside the stone all, and is there a close up of the hardware?

On 9/11 god turned on all the light in heaven.
Some love one's were lost; some love one's
were found; but the memory of 9/11 will
always be around. I remember the sound; when
the World Trade Center fell to the ground. All
those people running around; All those people
looking for safe ground. All I could hear was
those last minute prayers; All I could hear is
everyone wishing that god was there. ( The fear
of 9/11 makes me think of all those angles in
heaven). If we put our trust into gods hands;
He will bless all the people in the promise land.
We will always remember 9/11 when god turned
off all the lights in heaven; sleep angels and be
at peace in gods holy sleep.

My perfect beef stew III: Cooking, perfecting
Are you sure you want to delete this recipe?
This recipe was uploaded by TheBeast2
This is probably the longest, and easiest part of the dish (unless you want to count leaving the brine or marinade in the fridge for a day). The ingredients are split into 2 groups. One is for the beef stock based recipe, the other for the veal stock. Regarding stocks, you should have about 1 part chicken stock to 3 parts veal stock. Since the chicken stock is (if done right) very flavoursome anyway, and since you don't want too much chicken flavour in the final dish, a wise option would be to use as much as is needed, rather than reduce the stock. Initially I coined this a 4-day stew. However, after sampling the left overs the day after eating, it occurred to me that an extra day makes a huge difference to the dish. The overnight resting period will develop the stew flavours. Furthermore, since cooked meat is more easily affected than raw meat by marinading, the process will result is meat that is tender through to the centre. (Raw meat marinading does not penetrate to the centre of the meat). Finally, any juices lost during cooking as the collagen melted will be soaked back up by the meat. [b]Method[/b] Strain the marinade through a chinois. Pick out all the pieces of meat and divide them between 2 roasting trays. Reduce the marinade by a quarter, cool, then share it between the two trays. To one tray, add the beef stock and, to the other, add the combined veal and chicken stocks. Add some cold water if the meat is not covered. Add the vegetables Place in the oven and set the temperature as low as possible (ideally 60C). If you're not sure of your oven temp, set it to the slow cook setting and leave the door ajar, with a doorstop to stop it swinging open Cook the stews for 20 hours. If you maintained a 60C temperature, the meat should be tender, the collagen should have melted out, and the colour of the meat should be like an excellent quality ham. Now strain the stews. Pick out the meat and pour the sauces into large pans. Discard the vegetables. Reduce each sauce rapidly over high heat (this will give the proper consistency, without sacrificing flavour to thickening agents or a slow reduction process). When the sauces have reduced by 3/4 - 4/5, taste them. They should be exceptionally, almost unbearably rich. The final ingredient in the dish will sort that out, and serve as an interesting demonstration as to how contrasting taste pairings make a dish work. While the sauces are reducing, pick the oxtail meat from the bones. Trim off any excess fat (we have kept it on during cooking to flavour the stew). Allow the sauces to cool to room temperature, then divide the meat between them. Cover and refrigerate overnight. The next day, gently reheat the stews. Add 1/2 tsp sherry vinegar to each stew to cut through the richness. Season to taste with sea salt and serve with appropriate garnishes and accompaniments.
