- Dark auburn Review by Nicola
Gorgeous colour... Made my medium brown hair look fantastic. It turned out dark auburn for me, rather than fiery red. Was really impressed with the free samples of hydrating shampoo/conditioner, and the dye didn't damage my hair at all. It washed out more quickly than expected (after about 1-2 weeks) - but it was worth it!

- Great Review by Tess
Comes out a great red, because I wanted a bright red I use colour depositing red shampoo to give it a kick, I find it doesn't fade much but is more of an organgey red rather than a dark red. All round great colour.

This hair dye comes out fiery red as stated and is quite a bright red (as intended) with it leaning more towards auburn than burgandy tones but in a good way. The colour lasts a long time (longer than 6 weeks) and doesn't fade fast.

The goal of the Children's Hospital Boston CHRCDA Program is to develop pediatrician physician-scientists who are performing world-class research that will improve health care for children in this country and around the world. Our Scholars will be performing laboratory-based basic and translational research under the mentorship of outstanding scientists at Children's Hospital and other Harvard Associated Hospitals and Harvard Medical School. Our program has been established to ensure the development of independent scientists. In this proposal we describe a program that included intensive mentoring, a comprehensive didactic program, and a program to ensure the scientific development of Scholars. Programmatic oversight will be provided by an External Site Visit Committee and an Internal Steering Committee. Plans are in place for programmatic self-evaluation and for review of Scholar Progress. We propose to continue the funding of four Scholar positions. Most Scholars will be funded for two years, unless they secure independent K-level or other funding during their first year of Scholarship. Historically, the Department of Medicine has funded the majority of the salary component of each Scholar, such that most of the K12 funding is used to cover the cost of supplies and research technicians. The Department has also in most years funded a position to support a fifth Scholar position. Scholars will be faculty members most often at the rank of Instructor, but Assistant Professors who are early in the development of their independent careers will also be eligible to apply. Scholars will be considered at any point from the beginning of their Instructorship to the point where they are considered to be two years away from submitting their first R-level NIH grant or equivalent. Scholars will work in a broad range of scientific investigations. Past and present Scholars are working in areas such as the mechanism of nuclear reprogramming, structural biology of malaria antigens, biochemistry of viral entry, gene discovery in short stature, cardiac malformations, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and familial epilepsy, T cell development and many other areas. These investigations will elucidate fundamental molecular mechanisms and will lead to the development of new therapeutic modalities in all areas of pediatric disease, including hematology/oncology, endocrinology, nephrology, infectious disease, immunology, pulmonology and neurology.
The Department of Medicine at Children's Hospital Boston is dedicated to the training of physician-scientists and in helping them to develop careers as world- class independent scientists. We have a strong history of producing physician- scientists who have contributed to major discoveries in fundamental basic research and translational research that have had lasting impact on the treatment of pediatric disease. The Child Health Research Career Development Awards have played an integral role in supporting the development of physician-scientists at our institution and we propose to continue and strengthen this program over the next five years.

this man timothy lang is my brother and not a,vicious human being . this incident took place because of my ex- boyfriend drawing back to hit me and severly verbally abusing me because i wouldnt take him to get loritabs. craig bice is an alcoholic/drug abuser. i lived with him 7 years before i found the strength to accept the fact he'd never be any different to long at a time. my brother tried several times to get craig to stop with the name calling and threats,and by asking and telling him.craig wanted to fight craig said stop the van and craig opened my brothers door craig threw first punch,or at least swung first before my brother left the van .craig also is a known knife carrier he put his own brother in hospital for a month back in 2002. and with life threating injuries. this over craig abusing verbally his own mom. this woman the media is a family member and timothy has always been protective of any one he cared about and especially his family. true enough my brother was just released and this may not go so well because of the under minded system and others opinions, but ask yourself this ? WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF ALL YOU HAD LEFT IN THE WORLD WAS BEING ABUSED AND KNOWING SHE ALREADY SUFFERS WITH P T S D,DEPRESSION AND YOU ARE JUST GIVING A FRESH START ON LIFE.My Brother deserves a dissmisal after 1 year and the emotional torment. craig is now somewhere in god knows where alabama strong back out on crache owes the city of guntersville check his record for here and south alabama,.please try to understand this was not another hate crime but to protect timothys family. i have had craig put in jail a many of times in our past.and today my brothers fate depends on the opinions of others and i dont think it will be a fair trial because he had been in prison before.judge least you be judged and what happened to the rights of protecting others,and especially your family?

Corning Unveils Stronger Gorilla Glass 4 for Mobile Devices
The new Gorilla Glass 4 formulation aims to reduce the costly problem of screen breakage when mobile devices are dropped onto hard surfaces, shattering their fragile displays.Corning's new Gorilla Glass 4 display coverings for mobile devices will be at least two times stronger than screen surfaces from competitors, helping to further reduce screen damage when devices are accidentally dropped onto hard surfaces. Screen breakage from accidental device falls is the most common complaint from consumers when they discuss their mobile devices, the company said. The new Gorilla Glass 4 technology was unveiled by Corning on Nov. 20 at its headquarters in Corning, N.Y., where it announced the next generation of its display glass product line. Scratch- and damage-resistant Gorilla Glass was first launched in 2007 and is now used by more than 40 device manufacturers, including Samsung, BlackBerry, ZTE, Motorola, Microsoft, LG and Acer, in almost 1,400 devices, according to Corning. The new Gorilla Glass 4 will survive up to 80 percent of the time when a device is dropped onto a hard surface from one meter in height, the company states. Traditional glass, also called soda-lime glass, breaks nearly 100 percent of the time in such situations.
"Corning Gorilla Glass has outperformed competing materials, such as soda-lime glass and other strengthened glass, since it was introduced in 2007, and we're always innovating to push the limits of what glass can do," James R. Steiner, senior vice president and general manager of Corning Specialty Materials, said in a statement. "With Gorilla Glass 4, we have focused on significantly improving protection against sharp contact damage, which is the primary reason that mobile devices break. Dropping and breaking a phone is a common problem, and one that our customers have asked us to help address."

I've been waiting so long for this . . . I get a lot requests, but this one was just for ME. I loved this game, and consider it to be one of the best 1st generation titles for any system, ever. It also had a BRILLIANT, and I do mean brilliant, soundtrack. This is the nice little medieval sort of tune that plays as you're developing the first town. It's very simple, but also great, and reminds me of a million little etudes. I took it and made it into a hip-hop / rock ReMix that is very different from most other mixes on the site, and perhaps closest to the KOF98 ReMix in feel. This mix took an hour and a half, but is better than many mixes of mine that took several hours. I'd probably rank this among my own "personal bests" . . well, just see what YOU think.

Dear Scott: Thank you for the advise. We have been using large containers for some time because we received this warning earlier. We do fertilize with each watering but we don?t water every day and we will probably water and fertilize more frequently since Wilbert says that they need a lot of water when they are building tuber.

The tuber requires room to achieve blooming weight (as a measurement of blooming size).

The beasts are back. Mastodon have returned with their first new piece of music since 2011's The Hunter and...well f*cking wow this song is good.
Beginning with a very Bill Kelliher chunky riff, the song gets the head banging straight away. It really drives along with the riff and the predictably amazing drum part from Brann Dailor. Troy Sanders kicks off the vocals and on this song he brings back that kind of Leviathan semi-roar. It adds to the aggressive nature of that riff as well as his bass part which like a lot of Mastodon songs is holding the song together well and doesn't do anything special. The choruses take a turn for the grandiose and lets the song blossom with Brann singing leads. Brent Hinds and Bill give us some great harmonised leads in the bridge and reminds us of their ability to write parts like that. This song has gotten me even more excited for Once More Around The Sun, due in June. Mastodon continues to surprise me in how they have never released a bad song. I'm almost scared that the next record will be a dud, but somehow I think we'll be fine.
+ Classic Mastodon
+ Big chunky riffing
+ Insanely great drumming
Like I said above, Once More Around The Sun will be available in June. This cut of High Road is a radio edit and the full version is apparently around 6 minutes long. The main splash page of the Mastodon contains the song and the date April 29 which could be assumed is the release of the full single.
So, what did you think of High Road. Are you excited for Once More Around The Sun in June? Let me know in the comments and be sure to share and follow.

5 Facts About Toddlers That I Never Read in a Baby Book
When I pictured having a child before my son was born, I imagined him as either an infant -- rocking him to sleep, swaddled in blankets -- or as a young child, probably a preschooler or kindergarten being taken to the zoo or to amusement parks. What I had very little experience with, and couldn't imagine the special challenges of, was dealing with The Toddler.
Officially at 12 months, a baby becomes a toddler. But for me I basically think that any baby who has started walking, whether it's at 11 months or 16 months, is now a Toddler. (My son was 13 months old when he started walking, and that is when the toddler fun began for us.) There are huge developmental changes going on in the mind and body of a toddler, but they mostly can't tell you anything about it. The best analogy -- and funniest cartoon -- that I've seen about toddlers is comparing them to zombies (although this cartoon calls them "babies," it's clear that this dad is definitely referring to the toddler variety): lurching, unstable, oozing with bodily fluids, bent on destruction and mayhem.
When my son became a toddler, I looked at all my baby books and realized that they had very little relevance any more. And I had no toddler books. And I was afraid. Very afraid. My son had turned into a difficult eater, defiant and tantrum-prone, dangerous to himself (and, in some cases, others), and more exhausting than I thought humanly possible.
Looking back at what I read about babies, there were some signs about impending toddlerhood. But I ignored them. Here are the five lessons that you won't see emphasized in books that I wish somebody had told me about before my son became a toddler:
1. Even if your kid was a fantastic eater before, he will become aggressively, annoyingly picky about his eating habits. There will be no rhyme or reason to his food choices. I bragged about my son's eating habits until he turned about a year and a half to anyone who would listen. He would eat anything: fruits, vegetables, spreads, any meat or fish. The one day he stopped. For days he would only eat pasta. I questioned how it was possible for him to survive on so few calories. But apparently this is normal and don't stress about it. My son will eat about a week's worth of food in one meal and then barely eat again for days.
2. Teething may get worse. Even if you never even noticed that your infant before was cutting a tooth, molars may be a different story. My son's teething didn't seem to bother him much until he became a toddler. Then he started getting his first-year molars and canine teeth. It took weeks of near torture for all of us for any of these teeth to come in.
3. Buy an extra "attachment" or "transitional object." Until he became a toddler, my son's "loveys" were basically interchangeable. He had a bunch of those cuddly blanket/stuffed animal things, and all of them were acceptable sleeping or stroller companions. Suddenly, when he turned about a year old, he had to have one specific stuffed lamb. All the time, or he would have a meltdown. I bought an exact replacement, but it was too late. Only that lamb would do, and now my son is constantly carrying around this stained lamb, often with food all over it, because it takes a day's worth of pre-planning to figure out when and how I will take the lamb away from him long enough to go into the washing machine.
4. Naps will be terrible for no reason and then suddenly get better. My son didn't have much trouble with transitioning to three and then two naps as a baby. Never a strong sleeper at night, he had always been a better napper during the day. But then soon after his first birthday, he refused to take two naps, but one nap was not enough. We moved his bed time to 6, and then he would refuse to nap altogether. Then his naps were really short, and finally -- again, for no apparent -- his naps started to lengthen, and he's often taken three hour naps during the afternoon.
5. If you have strong feelings about getting rid of your baby's pacifier, do it before his first birthday. I do actually remember reading that in several places before my kid became a toddler, and I've written about my battles with my son's binky before. I wish that I had fully realized that toddlers can develop an incredibly deep emotional connection to the binky -- and very soon learn to demand it -- far beyond just wanting it to help them fall asleep. Honestly, if my son had to make a choice between his binky and me, I'm not sure which he would choose at this point.
Toddlers are really hard work. I mean, often soul-crushing, tear-inducing bundles of boundless determination and energy. And they're always changing. Based on my experience, they are even more amazing, loveable, and joyous than infants, but also more frustrating and difficult. And technically my son hasn't even hit the "terrible twos" yet.

I don't even know what to say
Saffron I like the fit, simple and clean. I am really nitpicking here but spread collars don't look good unbuttoned, either grab a tie and jacket or switch to an ocbd.
Actually Rennavate, I beg to differ...taking a close look at that gentleman's photos, medium is just barely fitting--and that's only when standing up, upright, abs tight and sucked in....when seated, we will have bursting again...
The gentleman is a Large, or slightly larger...
shoulder measurement, guys
IMO the medium may be pushing it on this. the rest is better yes, but a large would definitely be too big.

The popularity of the world's biggest banks has been declining. And for those still in doubt, the list of the 100 best global brands for 2012 released by brand management firm Interbrand last week should be a proof. A quick glance at the annual list shows that the global banks are no longer at the top of the customers' minds. [1]
The findings of the Interbrand survey come as no surprise with a string of scandals and unjustified losses reported by some of the world's biggest banks, significantly eroding customer confidence. The list for this year features 7 global banks – down from 9 in 2011. It is clearly not a coincidence that the two banks missing from the list are UBS (NYSE:UBS) and Barclays (NYSE:BCS).
The largest Swiss bank has come under fire since it reported an unauthorized trading loss of more than $2 billion late last year while the largest British bank continues to draw rebuke for its role in manipulating the LIBOR.

A company's brand is believed to capture the essence of its popularity among the masses. Hence, Interbrand's list provides the means to compare various global brands in terms of popularity. The dollar brand value assigned to each brand also allows a comparison of brands across sectors. And from the looks of it, the banks as a group are doing worse than the others that form the list of top 100 brands.
Banks have been struggling with declining profits and huge legal backlogs since the economic downturn of 2008. But, things have been particularly bad over the recent quarters with unexpected lapses in their businesses, strengthening the case for stricter regulations. And a few incidents stand out prominently which would make customers think twice before opting for a particular bank's services.
The table below summarizes the banks' standing in the list of 100 best global brands:
|2011 Rank
|2012 Rank
|Major Concerns Over Recent Months
|JPMorgan Chase
|Multi-Billion Dollar Hedging Strategy Loss
|Impaired Profitability
|Goldman Sachs
|Government Pressure to Scale-Down Trading Ops
|Failed To Clear Fed Stress Test
|Morgan Stanley
|Exposure to Peripheral Debt
|Banco Santander
|Capital Concerns From Weak Spanish Economy
|LIBOR-Manipulation Scandal
|Credit Suisse
|Impaired Profitability; Tax Evasion Charges
|Unauthorized Trading Incident
Banks thrive on trust, and their fortunes are made or marred simply on the basis whether their customers trust them with their money or not. The following statement from Interbrand's review of financial institutions as part of this survey sums up the state of affairs:
"From a consumer point of view, trust is at an all-time low, and willingness to consider alternative providers at an all-time high." [2]
The banks that are embroiled in scandals and legal battles over alleged wrongdoings seem to miss the larger impact of these actions on their businesses. While the one-time settlements they result in will only affect earnings for a single quarter, such incidents leave a dent in customer confidence which may take years to repair, if at all.

Associated Press Writer
OK, fantasy football losers, enough with the whining about the season-destroying flops of Larry Johnson, Shaun Alexander and Marvin Harrison.
It's time to let go of the bitterness over Ronnie Brown's injury, Frank Gore's lack of carries and every other injustice that conspired to cost you a fantasy playoff spot.
Buck up, already, and get to work scheming for next season. Now is the perfect time to jettison the roster deadweight and do a little shopping for next year's long-shot keepers. So as a service to you, the fantasy failure, here's a look at some 2008 prospects worth snagging.
Quarterbacks worth an early shot include Minnesota's Tarvaris Jackson, Buffalo's Trent Edwards, Oakland's JaMarcus Russell, Philadelphia's Kevin Kolb and Houston's Sage Rosenfels.
As usual, DeAngelo Williams tops the running back prospects, but he might really be worthwhile this time as the whole Carolina offense could get blown up. Other backs worth tucking away include Cincinnati's Kenny Watson, Denver's Andre Hall, the Giants' Ahmad Bradshaw and Chicago's Garrett Wolfe. Receiver possibilities include Minnesota's Sidney Rice, Tennessee's Justin Gage, and Baltimore's Devard Darling.
As for you fortunate souls who made the playoff cut, here's a look at some players to start in Week 15, some to avoid and a few long shots who just may pan out:
-The good thing about the Cowboys-Packers race for home-field advantage is that neither division champ can let up just yet. Brett Favre and Tony Romo should nonchalantly go for 300 or so yards and two or three scores, but now is a good time to think about backups since both could be resting soon.
-Starting Arizona's Kurt Warner in the fantasy playoffs is so 2001. But it's an idea if you're a heavy underdog and need to gamble. Warner faces the Saints' ridiculous pass defense that has allowed big games to the likes of Chris Redman, Luke McCown and Quinn Gray.
-Ben Roethlisberger is ready for some redemption after getting thumped by the Patriots. Throw out the quagmire game against Miami and he's averaging three TD passes at home since November. He also faces the Jaguars' 27th-ranked pass defense.
-Maybe Jon Kitna was misquoted and actually expected 10 losses this season. No matter for fantasy geeks. Kitna should put up respectable stats while his Lions drop their sixth straight against the Chargers.
-Speaking of maligned QBs playing in San Diego on Sunday, Philip Rivers should enjoy the change from the brutal Titans last week to the Lions' 31st-ranked pass defense.
-You're in rough shape if Tampa Bay's Jeff Garcia is even an option, but he could pan out. He's old and returning from injury but faces Falcons defenders who were demoralized even before their coach suddenly decided he was just kidding about that five-year contract.
Please, in the name of Rex Grossman, don't start these guys:
-Philadelphia's Donovan McNabb is so maddeningly unpredictable that it's hard to count on him in the playoffs. He may put up a 400-yard game, or he may have a 100-yarder. He had a TD and two interceptions in his last game against Dallas.
-Buffalo's Trent Edwards did throw four touchdowns last week and does face a Cleveland defense that has allowed an NFL-high 27 TD passes, but the Browns' defense has tightened up, and it's really hard to catch a frozen football.
-If you're desperate for a playoff starter, Baltimore's Kyle Boller is always lurking around the waiver wire. But there's typically no reason to throw against Miami.
-Don't the Patriots have to at least practice running a little bit before the playoffs? Maybe Laurence Maroney will get some carries when they're up by 50 on the tattletale Jets in the So What if We Cheated Bowl.
-Might the slumping Ravens fall victim to the winless Dolphins? Not with Willis McGahee running on Miami's NFL-worst run defense (155.4 yards a game). In the Dolphins' latest bid for that elusive victory, they allowed not just one but two 100-yard rushers.
-Buffalo and Cleveland are somehow playing for more than the title of snowiest place. Marshawn Lynch looked good in his return from injury and should be the Bills' main weapon in this unlikely battle of playoff contenders.
-It doesn't matter if you have Adrian Peterson or Chester Taylor in the Vikings' time share. Both are good to go against a sliding Chicago defense, especially with the possibility of new Bears starter Kyle Orton handing the ball over for some short TD runs.
-Tampa Bay's Earnest Graham should have little trouble against the Falcons, who are busy counting the days until the season finally ends. Graham has scored six times in his past five games.
-The Colts' Kenton Keith could get in for a score or two after Joseph Addai is too tired to pile up any more yards on a pathetic Raiders' defense that has allowed a league-worst 21 TD runs.
-How have the Steelers allowed just three touchdowns rushing all year? Starting either Jacksonville's Fred Taylor or Maurice Jones-Drew seems a quick way to end your fantasy season.
-What's gone wrong with Washington's Clinton Portis? He's averaging just 2 yards a carry the past two weeks, and facing a stacked line against a fill-in QB won't help.
-You'd have to be absurdly desperate to start Miami's Samkon Gado, even after his two-TD game last week. And it doesn't help that he'll be going up against the Ravens' still mildly tough run defense.
-Dallas' Terrell Owens always likes to show up the Eagles, his former team, and Tony Romo surely is tired of hearing about how Owens needs to get more than the three catches he had last week.
-Apparently the Giants' Eli Manning has been given permission to throw again, but only to Plaxico Burress. So try to forget that Burress basically has one leg and remember he's facing Washington's slumping pass defense.
-New Orleans' Marques Colston and David Patten both could put up some big numbers against Arizona in what should be a meaningless game between 6-7 teams but somehow has playoff implications.
-The Buccaneers' Joey Galloway should be happy to see fellow geezer Jeff Garcia return. Galloway hasn't scored in three weeks but should fix that against the Falcons' collapsing defense.
-Green Bay's Greg Jennings has 11 touchdowns in 11 games, so I'll go way out on a limb and suggest he'll score one or two against St. Louis. (Here's a lesson in patience: I was so angry with his early season injury woes that I cut him before his first touchdown.)
-The Jaguars usually don't like to throw unless they have to, and when that event occurs Reggie Williams is the guy. He scores about every fourth time he catches a pass, with three TDs in his last four games.
-Sad that Kyle Orton, of all people, can skew fantasy playoffs so dramatically. The new Bears starter could win it all for whoever has the Vikings defense, or lose it all for the poor sap who's counting on balls falling somewhere near Bernard Berrian.
-The Colts' Anthony Gonzalez is hitting his stride filling in for Marvin Harrison, but Indy should mostly be executing handoffs against the Raiders.
-There's not much reason to start Redskins receivers with new starter Todd Collins lofting 4-yarders all day.
Pick up these guys if they're available in your league: RB Aaron Stecker (100 yards), WR Jabar Gaffney (122 yards, TD), RB Samkon Gado (2 TDs), QB Trent Edwards (4 TDs) and WR Jerheme Urban (123 yards, TD).
Here's the best and worst of last week's projections:
Big Hits: I expected success for Matt Hasselbeck (4 TDs), Drew Brees (328 yards, 3 TDs), Ryan Grant (156 yards, TD), Marshawn Lynch (107 yards), Willie Parker against the Patriots (124 yards), Bryant Johnson (TD) and Braylon Edwards (TD). I expected failure for Frank Gore (0 TDs, 2 fumbles) and Donald Driver (38 yards).
Big Misses: I was right that the Ravens would limit Joseph Addai (32 yards rushing), but didn't expect him to score three times. I expected big things for Carson Palmer (2 INTS), Vince Young (121 yards, 2 INTs) and Patrick Crayton (46 yards). I projected a flop for Thomas Jones (106 yards) and didn't realize at the time that Sage Rosenfels (3 TDs) is the only Texan QB who can remain upright.

I'd pay for 'safety' by having a few loads of dirt brought in and make a safe shooting range in a dirt bunker, but that's just me.OMO
This is a discussion on Building a shooting backstop within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; I think this belongs here, it's a shooting question, kinda. I want to build myself a little shooting range on my property. I do not ...
I think this belongs here, it's a shooting question, kinda.
I want to build myself a little shooting range on my property. I do not have a dirt hill or bank to shoot into or build upon, so whatever I do will be pretty much from scratch. There is a small, immature woods behind me and no houses line of sight, or even in view, but just in case someone checks out the shooting, which I'm allowed to do, I want something "bulletproof" so to speak. And just for more info, the cop next to me shoots quite often, sometimes 100 rounds or so, and just uses a paper target. His bullets carry right into those woods, which I don't think is the safest idea, but he shoots primarily handguns. I (and the neighbor) want to shoot rifles and anything else.
So we're thinking of getting some railroad ties and building a wall. That will get us started anyway. From what I've read a dirt backstop can be quickly constructed incorporating brush and logs. That we would build behind the RR tie wall.
Now, I know this is a pretty subjective question, but what do you think? Does this sound like a plan? Do you think the dirt/brush pile could be better served being in front of the ties instead, with the ties as a last resort? What about width and height? Obviously the wider and higher the better, but realistically speaking, 10'w x 6'h? This is to be our range and we don't intend to let someone come in and crack a shot off at 300 yards without first hitting their target at a closer range, but obviously the further back you go, the nicer it is to have a nice big backstop, regardless if there are no houses behind us or not.
Has anyone here ever built themself a little range and have any ideas to share?

Where I shoot, we have a hillside as a natural barrier, so we just hang our targets in front of the hill and shoot into the dirt. Bullets rarely penetrate very deeply into the earth... most are found less than 8 inches or so deep, and that includes .30-06, 7.62x54R, and 7.5x55 Swiss.
I would put the dirt in front of the ties... no sense in shooting up perfectly good ties, just let the earth absorb the bullets and use the ties as a frame to keep your berm in shape. A dirt berm will be more than adequate. Heck, the military used sandbags for ages, and the Box o' Truth looked at sand and determined that 6" was enough for all of the calibers he tested (.22LR, 9mm, .45 ACP, .223, .308, .45-70, 12 gauge slug). Try to make sure there aren't any big rocks sticking out of the front of the berm that could cause ricochets (we regularly check our backstop to make sure no rocks have slid down slope or have become uncovered during shooting), and make it as wide, tall and deep as funds allow, and you should be good.
That said, a dirt berm won't protect you against a law suit if someone misses it... you will be held responsible for what happens on your property, so pick your shooting buddies carefully. (Sorry, I haven't practiced law in ten years, but old habits die hard.)

Thanks for confirming to build the dirt up in front, gtv.
Having dirt brought in would certainly save a lot of time, retsupt. I'll have to check into that. I think I'd still like the ties as some sort of structure though.

yeh throwing up a dirt berm would be the best thing to do thats what we did on our prop up north
Can you describe the sand bunkers, retsup? I found a formula online when I was checking into sandbags and it seems like it would take a LOT of sandbags and sand or dirt to fill them with to get a wall of any size, although that would solve my next question.
Is there anything that can be done to grow the berms upward without the bottoms spreading, so the wall grows vertically more quickly with less dirt/sand? We were thinking we would need the ties to build up against at least on one side.
This fellow's place just appeared to have huge dump truck loads, probably 12' high and several loads to make it 30' wide...formed a "U" shape. He had two of these with one side of the "U" dividing his two shooting ranges. One range was just for pistol paper targets, and the other side had a few metal targets.
He had enough room to easily put up a couple of 12' x 12' fold-up canopy tops (side by side) to shoot under if it rained a bit...which it did for a while.
Nothing fancy, but it seemed to work perfectly.

Thanks. He must have had some heavy equipment come in to build it up that high. Even a tri-ax dump truck can only give you a pile about 5 ft high, the height of the bed, then the truck needs to pull forward to keep dumping. A typical tractor with a loader can lift maybe 6-7 ft high, but then they have a hard time driving up to the mound because the base keeps spreading out. Twelve feet would be nice. I don't see achieving that height though.
I would get enough railroad ties to build a beam shaped in a wide cornered off U shape to help confine the sand/dirt. Then have a dump truck come in and dump a few loads in front of it. Then your berm will have support from the back. For good measure I would build some triangle shaped axles behind your railroad ties to help support them. Obviously the best way to use the ties would be to use 2X12 boards screwed into them to hold them up, this makes it solid, then build yourself a nice little shed and get a metal outdoor canopy with a tarp for shooting in the rain.
"The value you put on the lost will be determined by the sacrifice you are willing to make to seek them until they are found."
I wish I had a picture, will try to post one later. I have a multi gun range at the big farm, but on the closer place, I built using cross ties and berm. I chose to put the ties in front. I placed 14" cresoted posts9cut telephone poles) in place 4' deep. I stacked the ties on top and alternated ends so I could drill through the ties and pin with #5 rebar I then hauled 2 10 yard trucks of #3 select fill and piled it up behind ties with backhoe--yes I have dump trucks and equipment available. I planted grass seed on the fill.
Then I nailed left over treated 2 X 6 crosswise between front support posts and put a double layer of "left over/cull" 2 X material and this absorbs most except AP M-2 ball. This backstop is used primarily for pistol and rimfire practice so it is getting little to the cross ties. I shoot HP rifle mostly at the more distant range--15 minutes vs 5minutes. We shoot a lot of steel and I have it so I can take it down easily or change out thickness and shapes. I think it will last 10 years plus at current wear--we shoot weekly. Since this was Easter holiday for the grand kids, we shot both Friday and Saturday.
I know this is an old thread but I took this picture a few months ago when my wife and I were looking at property in the Sierrra foothills of NorCal. Although it may not be perfect I think it has merit and I will likely make something along these lines.
What about some 8 ft lengths of rebar, pounded into the Caliche (I realize that would be difficult, I lived for about 8 yrs in New Mexico, that caliche is VERY tough), to hold the RR ties in place, before you fill the space with more dirt/caliche/sand. That should hold the ties in place, which then would contain the dirt/caliche...the purpose of the dirt in FRONT of the ties is to stop the bullets before they can chew thru the ties. Without the dirt, the ties will eventually be so weakened, that they would need to be replaced. With the dirt, you can also screen the dirt to retrieve your bullets (if you use lead "boolits") and re-melt them/re-use them.
Also check this video out; he's using metal braces and tension straps on the ties:

Escape to a cliffside celebration via a gallery of images by Kurt Boomer? You don't have to ask me twice. Because when you combine his talent, these views, and a Bride and Groom who couldn't look more in love, the end result is magic. It's the dream ending to a love story you have to read to believe (all in the Bride's words below!) and meanwhile we'll be waiting in The Vault.
From The Bride… Jason and I met years ago on a plane. I know it sounds so cliche to say, but it honestly felt like the universe wanted us to end up together. I'll explain: we saw each other first on an East Coast flight headed towards the SF bay area. I thought he was cute standing a few aisles in front of me on the plane. A few hours later, the plane landed at SFO and we found ourselves walking the same direction out of the terminal. From there, we ended up being the only two people on the airport transporter (a rarity, considering what a zoo SFO can be on the weekends). We twiddled our thumbs and pretended not to notice how awkward this was that we were strangers that seemed to be following each other. When we reached the stop for the Bart ticketing station, we both got off and headed towards the platform. We were both too shy to say anything at this point, but when we both realized we were getting onto the same train to the East bay, it became too comical NOT to talk about.
At this point, I think Jason just shook his head, laughed and smiled as he held out his hand to shake mine. He and I talked the whole way to my stop in Rockridge, Oakland. We talked about art and how we were both artists exploring different mediums – him game design and lighting, me photography and writing. We found out through the tail end of our conversation that we actually lived in different states. Regardless, he invited me out to dinner that night to continue our conversation over Italian food, and I gleefully accepted.
Over a glass of wine and some lasagne, It became increasingly apparent that though our chemistry was insane, we were in entirely different places in our lives: I, was in college, he was steadily in his own new career in North Carolina where he lived. The timing just wasn't right on paper. We adored each other, but I think we both thought our first date would be our last. However I know that somewhere inside of me, on a deeper level, knew that if we just let this thing run its course, the universe might be good to us somewhere down the line. Maybe fate would bring us together again when we were more in sync and ready for a relationship. Little did we know a the time, that's exactly what would happen.
About 4 years later, I got this email from Jason out of the blue. I had almost forgotten we had exchanged contact info all those years ago. The email was somewhere along the lines of, "Hey, do you remember me from the train some time ago?" I laughed to my friends about how serendipitous this was; they knew my story about the romantic-train-encounter-mystery-man very well. I wrote back and the connection was just as special as it had been the first time we had met. The rest is history! From there, we would meet every weekend in either Seattle or San Francisco, he had moved to Seattle recently to take a job, and the plane ride was only 2 hours away.
When I graduated college, I was hungry for a new adventure. The trees and majestic beauty of the Pacific Northwest felt like the perfect place to find myself – and with Jason there too, it was a win-win. Everything seemed to align perfectly when I moved to Seattle. We collaborated on creative projects together; I would help him write stories for games, and he would paint and illustrate them. When Jason proposed in December of 2013, I didn't start planning right away, but I did have a specific feeling in mind for what I wanted the day to feel like: I wanted it to feel like "us" and the simplicity yet emotionally deep elements of our love. I wanted, and Jason did too, for our wedding to reflect everything we loved about both Washington and California. When we visited Big Sur for the first time, we felt almost a primal reaction to it: the towering trees, the lush colored landscape, the peaceful tranquility of being outdoors. We feel it perfectly represented us and the peace we feel together as best friends and life partners.
As far as the actual labor of planning went – I feel like I lucked out in some cosmic way on that front too. I created a mood board of small glimpses I liked – nothing literal, just textures and soft-focus pauses on beautiful details. I had contacted a few floral designers in the Carmel/Big Sur area to help me narrow down this vision and come up with flower choices, but there didn't seem to be anyone that understood the emotion that I wanted the event to convey. Then, I came across the work of Christine Cater and her team.
There is a heart-stoppingly gorgeous image on Pinterest that I'm sure many brides have seen: It's of a half-circle pampas grass arrangement with white and pink roses and a couple standing in the middle of this ethereal coastal scene. I followed a barrage of links to find out the floral designer involved in this, and come to find out, it was Christine Cater – who also works in the Carmel/Big Sur area. I reached out to her on a whim thinking she'd never have time for me with all of her world-building and all, and to my surprise she wrote back. Over the course of the next 4 months, she and I worked together to use a lot of what I already from my little shop and side-business ForesterCo on Etsy.
I used bits and pieces that reminded me of my childhood: real brass candlesticks, handmade vintage textile hangings, cake stands from the 50s. If I had any advice for other brides, it would be to use things you already have whether that's vintage or handmade, and get creative with it. If you don't already have vintage, search estate sales and thrift stores for unique pieces early on, so that when the time comes, you can sort through and narrow down a vision that's uniquely-you.
I had a lot of favorite moments the day-of. There was a lot of emotion back and forth between Jason and I because after all those years between meeting, and finally finding each other again, It was honestly surreal. When he and I first met that day way-back-when, one of the random bits of information we bonded over on the train was our love for Arcade Fire. So walking down the aisle together to the Vitamin String Quartet version of "Wake Up" was so cool. It was like a dream I once had long ago for my life that came true. My Aunt Sally is the one who performed the ceremony, and that was another neat part as well. Jason and I aren't religious at all, so we wrote the ceremony ourselves, but having someone to close to us who is part of our family speak those words and facilitate in binding our union together was very special.
From The Planner…From the moment we met it was evident that these two had their esthetics in the bag. Alexandra's clean romantic modern touches throughout her wedding day added some pretty yummy eye candy. Point 16 is gorgeous with its ceremony perched high above the Pacific Ocean. A birch altar was created by the family where we hung strands of hand dyed yarn tassels to compliment the brides macrame wall hanging.
At the base we added wicker, ceramic and glass vessels filled with spring blooms, grasses and greenery. Jason and Alexandra stood on a rug that they own and now enjoy in their new home. The bouquet was inspired by our May brides love for the multi petalled peony. It took center stage amongst garden roses, ranunculus, sweet peas, astilbe, queen annes lace, magnolia and eucalyptus.
Jason's boutonnière wrapped in taupe velvet had blush sweet peas, with the 'shammy' side of a magnolia leaf against his tweed suit. Gold and bronze elements were present throughout the wedding and we love to compliment these metals with foliage like magnolia. Bronze candlesticks were used along the single dining table centered with handmade green garlands.
In the end this wedding had our full attention on design and details as you can see by these images. Big Sur + Kurt Boomer + pretty flowers and details = a match made in heaven.

This article discusses the use of non-grantor trusts as an asset protection planning tool, while introducing the non-grantor trust as an income tax planning tool in order to reduce taxpayer's exposure to state income and local taxation in jurisdictions with high income taxation (think New York, California, Massachusetts, et al). The executive summary is primarily geared to taxpayer's large amounts of investment income.
The article geared is geared to high net worth individuals with large amounts of taxable income. The article also focuses on the personal tax planning of investment managers such as hedge funds and private equity managers who are frequently required to have all or most of personal liquid net worth invested in funds. A large percentage of funds and managers are based in states with high state income taxes- New York City (12.618%), California (10.55%), New Jersey (10.75%), Connecticut (6.5%) and Massachusetts (5.3% but 12% on short term capital gains).
Tax reform produced adverse results for managers that primarily generate short term capital gain income. The top marginal tax bracket increased to 39.6 percent for high income taxpayers for earned and short term capital gain income. The Obama Medicare tax adds an additional 3.8 percent on investment income for top income earners raising the top federal bracket to 43.4 percent. The phase out of personal exemptions and miscellaneous itemized deductions adds another 1-2 percent to the marginal rate. High income states such as New York and California add an additional 8-12% percent bringing taxpayers to a combined marginal tax bracket of 58 percent. Bottom line – hedge fund investors and managers may be paying higher taxes than ever before.
We also live in an era of unprecedented economic and political uncertainty. Add an increased likelihood of becoming a participant in the game of "litigation lottery", i.e. getting sued, and pretty soon you may begin to sweat profusely. Ask yourself, will your creditors treat you fairly? The answer - not likely!
The Non-Grantor Trust is the lesser known cousin of its famous cousin, the Grantor Trust (whose days may also be numbered!). This article will show you how a non-grantor trust established in a favorable jurisdiction with no state income taxation and favorable asset protection rules can be an effective remedy for the taxation of certain categories of income in states with high income tax rates.
Nevada Asset Protection Trusts
Let me first admit to my bias in favor of offshore asset protection trusts. If you want to be as close to 100 percent certain that your asset protection trust can withstand your creditors' challenges on your wealth, then a Cook Islands Asset Protection Trust is the way to go. The Cook Islands has a twenty five year perfect record against all creditors including large creditors such as the U.S. Government. Anyhow, that is a topic for a different article. The U.S. Constitutional issue of the Full Faith and Credit Clause with respect to domestic asset protection remains unanswered. It remains to be seen whether domestic self-settled trusts can withstand a constitutional challenged when a creditor from one state attempts to collect against an asset protection trust in Nevada, Delaware or South Dakota.
A number of domestic jurisdictions have adopted trust legislation that provides for asset protection. In my view, Nevada has the strongest legislation. Nevada's asset protection has several things going for it:
(1) Two Year Statute of Limitations.
(2) For pre-existing creditors, the statute of limitations is the longer of two years from the date of the transfer to the trust or six months from the date the creditor discovered the transfer, or reasonably should have discovered the transfer waiting period for pre-existing creditors.
(3) Tacking – If a trust is moved from another jurisdiction to Nevada, the statute of limitations does not restart.
(4) Last In, First Out – For purposes of determining the statute of limitations, and multiple transfers to the trust, a transfer that is within the statue will not taint the entire trust for prior transfers where the statute has already expired.
(5) Decanting – A trustee may form another spendthrift trust without restarting a new statute of limitations period.
(6) Exceptional Creditors such as spousal and governmental claims – Nevada law does not exempt exceptional creditors from the favorable laws outlined above.
(7) Income Tax- Most importantly, Nevada does not tax trust income.
Non-Grantor Trusts
We need to cover a little ground before we jump into an example of the strategy. First, what is a so-called "grantor trust"? The Internal Revenue Code – Sections 671-679 provide the rules for grantor trusts. Grantor trusts have been the mainstay in advanced estate planning techniques largely since Chapter 14 (IRC Sec 2701-2704) largely paralyzed the use of "partnership freezes" and corporate reorganizations as estate freezing techniques.
Under the grantor trust rules, the trust settlor is considered the owner of trust assets for income tax purposes. As a result, all trust income and losses flow through the trust to the settlor. The trustee is able to accumulate assets within the trust without any depletion for income tax purposes. The grantor or settlor's payment of the income tax liability is not considered an additional gift to the trust. At the same time, the trust assets are outside of the settlor's taxable estate.
Trusts that are not taxed as grantor trusts are taxed as separate taxable entities. In general, marital trusts and most testamentary trusts are non-grantor trusts ("NGT"). Most asset protection trusts are also non-grantor trusts for income tax purposes. Unfortunately, it takes very little investment income to push a non-grantor trust into the top marginal tax bracket- $11, 200. A NGT is a trust that does not fall within any of the provisions of IRC Sec 671-679.
The essential trust provisions necessary to classify a trust as a NGT include retention of a power by the settlor to name new trust beneficiaries, or to change the interest of trust beneficiaries except as limited by a special power of appointment (ascertainable standard).[1] The settlor's transfer to a trust with this power renders the transfer an incomplete gift for gift tax purposes. A second method to avoid grantor trust treatment is to require the consent of an adverse party on any trust distributions under IRC Sec 672(a).
Income Taxation of Trust Income within a Non-Grantor
Believe or not, the legal question of a State's right to tax trust income has been litigated a lot including at the U.S. Supreme Court level several times. The constitutional restraint on a State's ability to tax trust income centers on the 14th Amendment Due Process and the Commerce Clause. Most of the States focus on these five criteria below:
(1 ) Was the trust was created by the Will of a testator who lived in the state at death?;
(2) Did the settlor of an inter vivos trust live in the State?;
(3) Is the trust administered in the State;
(4) Does one or more trustees live or do business in the State?;
(5) Does one or more beneficiaries live in the state?
Here is a brief summary for how trust income taxation works out for our key states:
(1) New York (NY) -NY will not tax a trust's income if it has no NY trustees, no NY assets, and no NY source of income. Intangible property such as investment portfolio assets should be exempt from NY state and local income taxation in a Nevada Trust. Most investment partnerships and LLCs are based in Delaware. The manager's personal investment in the fund should be exempt from taxation, but not the management fee.
Carried interest is likely to be taxed at ordinary rates in the future, but arguably should not be taxable in NY if represented by a separate class of limited partnership interest and held in a Nevada Trust.
(2) New Jersey (NJ)- NJ will not tax a trust's income if it has no NJ trustees, no NJ assets, and no NJ source of income.
(3) Connecticut (CT) – CT will not tax a trust's income if it has no CT trustees, no CT assets, and no CT source of income.
(4) California (CA) – CA taxes trust income if the trust has at least one trustee resident and one non-contingent beneficiary in CA.
(5) Massachusetts (MA) – MA will not tax a trust's income if it has no MA trustees, no MA assets, and no MA source of income.
Strategy Example
Joe Smith, age 50, is a managing director of a hedge fund, Acme Asset Management. The general partner of Acme is a Delaware LLC, Acme Management. The funds are Delaware limited partnerships. Acme has a domestic fund and offshore fund that invest through a master feeder structure. Acme is the investment advisor to the funds.
The funds have approximately $1 billion of assets under management. Acme earns a management fee of two percent and a performance fee of 20% of profits. The fund has consistently been earning an investment return of ten percent per annum net of all fees. All of the fund's income is short term capital gain income taxed at ordinary rates.
Smith is a resident of New York City. Smith has a personal net worth of $40 million. He has generated most of this wealth over the last ten years due to the success of his funds. Joe is married with two children. His personal investment as a limited partner in the fund is $20 million.
As of January 2013, Joe will be in a combined marginal tax bracket of 55.6% - Federal (43%) and New York City (12.62%). His combined New York City taxation will be approximately $252, 400. He will not be able to deduct his state taxes on his federal return due to the application of the alternative minimum tax (AMT).
Joe is deeply concerned about his litigation exposure to creditors as well as his state and city income tax liability. He would like to position his assets in a domestic asset protection trust for creditor protection as well minimize his state income tax exposure.
Strategy Implementation
Joe is the settlor of a new Nevada Trust. The trustee is Premier Trust Company which has its offices in Nevada. The trust is an irrevocable trust. Joe transfers his limited partnership assets in the Acme funds to the trust. The transfer to the trust is not a complete gift for gift tax purposes. The gift is not complete because Joe retains a testamentary special power of appointment that allows him to change the trust's beneficiaries at his death.
Joe is a discretionary beneficiary of the trust as well as his wife and children. In this case, the trust income is expected to accumulate for a number of years as Joe has other sources of earned income to meet his personal income needs. None of the trust assets are located in New York. None of the trustee or trust operations come into contact with New York. The fund has no New York sourced income.
Following the transfer of the LP, the trustee will be the owner of the LP interest. The trust will meet the requirements under New York with respect to the state taxation of trust income. The projected state tax savings are $250,000 per year. The future value of these tax savings over a ten year period at ten percent is $3.95 million.
A lot of attention is given to tax planning for federal taxes at both the income and estate tax level with far less attention being given to state and local tax planning. Many clients live in states where income and estate tax planning is of equal importance at the state level.
A NGT that provides asset protection and income tax benefits is an excellent solution for clients in a high tax jurisdiction to reduce this exposure. Nevada is an excellent state for both considerations. This solution is not well known for tax planning purposes. Additionally, the urgency of asset protection planning is another significant factor that can be addressed through this solution.
As we move forward into new territory with regard to higher taxes, consider adding this solution to your arsenal of techniques to help your taxes lower taxes.
