The [UK] coalition's plans to crack down on Britain's tax havens were discussed at a meeting between David Cameron and chancellor Angela Merkel, amid growing concerns in Germany. Merkel is understood to have had questions about the monitoring of British sovereign territories used as tax havens by the rich.
The German public has been alarmed in recent weeks about reports of its citizens using havens to avoid paying taxes at home, and the matter has become an electoral issue. But sources close to Cameron said that he was first to raise the future of the territories in order to spell out how his government was cracking down on tax avoidance in places such as Jersey and Guernsey.
A Downing Street spokesman said the prime minister was keen, ahead of June's G8 summit in Northern Ireland, to stress that the UK and others "should show global leadership by taking concrete action on tax evasion and aggressive tax avoidance and making clear that everyone must pay their fair share of taxes"

MIRED in a scandal over an ex-minister's secret Swiss bank account, French President Francois Hollande has vowed to "eradicate" tax havens, increase checks on officials' finances and crack down on tax cheats.
Laying out a series of measures just over a week after his former budget minister Jerome Cahuzac was charged with tax fraud, Hollande promised "a relentless battle against the excesses of money, greed and secret finance."
The new "moralisation" drive will include measures to limit the use of tax havens by forcing banks to expose their foreign activities, Hollande told a post-cabinet press conference on Wednesday.
"Tax havens must be eradicated in Europe and the world," Hollande said.

Tax Law - Vanuatu and the use of overseas tax havens
Date: May 08, 2008
Authors: Frank Egan B.A., LL.B., A.C.L.A., F.T.I.A. (Notary)
For many years now a number of Australian taxpayers have been using overseas tax havens to shield their wealth from the Australian Taxation Office. Although there is nothing new in this it has come to greater prominence with the advent of Project Wickenby. Project Wickenby is focused on activities of Philip Egglishaw and any number of non-complying taxpayers who have availed themselves of his services. More recently there have been a raft of names including a large number of people in public life who have relied upon overseas arrangements to avoid paying their full amount of tax.
The proximity of Vanuatu to Australia together with the Cook Islands has made them a favourite destination for Australian taxpayers seeking to avoid paying their full rate of tax. It is particularly attractive because it has an english speaking common law system and its official languages are English and French which makes it very attractive to Europeans. Interestingly it offers a number of products through its onshore professional establishment including international business companies, exempt insurance companies and exempt offshore international bank licensing. One of its great attractions is it is a tax-free tax haven

By encouraging multinational corporations to use accounting techniques to shift their profits to foreign tax havens, the U.S. tax code invites tax avoidance by corporations.
The extent of this profit shifting was made clear by a recent Congressional Research Service analysis that found that U.S. multinationals reported 43 percent of their overseas profits came from tax havens like Bermuda, even though few of their actual foreign investments (7 percent) or foreign workers (4 percent) were in those countries.

an uneven playing field...
First, if you live in a developed country, your taxes are probably much lower today than they were 30 years ago, thanks in part to tax havens. In 1980, top personal income tax rates in OECD countries averaged more than 67 percent, and corporate rates that year averaged nearly 50 percent. To compound the damage, countries routinely imposed extra layers of tax on capital, including dividend taxes, capital gains taxes, inheritance taxes, and wealth taxes. These policies discouraged saving and investment, stifling economic growth and causing significant economic hardship.
Beginning with Reagan and Thatcher, however, governments have been racing to cut tax rates and reform tax regimes. Top personal tax rates now average only about 40 percent, and corporate rates have been reduced to an average of about 27 percent. It is largely globalization—not ideology—that has driven this virtuous "race to the bottom." Governments are cutting taxes because they fear that jobs and investment will flee across national borders. Tax havens, by providing a safe refuge for people seeking to dodge confiscatory tax rates, have played a critical role in these positive developments. Better to get some revenue with modest tax rates, lawmakers have concluded, than impose high tax rates and lose out.
Second, European duchies and Caribbean isles aren't the only places that welcome tax refugees. The United States, for instance, could be considered the world's largest tax haven. The U.S. government generally does not tax interest and capital gains received by foreigners who invest in America. And since the IRS does not collect data on those payments, there is rarely any information to share with foreign tax collectors. Moreover, U.S. corporate structures, such as Delaware and Nevada companies, are excellent vehicles for foreigners to manage their investments. Thanks in part to these attractive policies, foreigners today have more than $12 trillion invested in the United States. Yet if Merkel's efforts are successful and all nations are saddled with the obligation to help enforce foreign tax laws, it is quite likely that a substantial share of that job-creating capital will flee the United States.

The recent disclosure by a journalistic consortium of 2.5 million leaked files from offshore bank accounts and shell companies provided stunning insight into the estimated $21 trillion held in secretive offshore tax havens, like the Cayman Islands.
Are these havens essential to a smooth-running world economy or just a tax dodge that benefits the rich and should be more tightly regulated? Can the U.S. government rein in their use?

anger extremely warranted...
PUBLIC anger over Apple's tax arrangements is "extremely warranted", according to the tech giant's tax co-founder.
Steve Wozniak, who formed the company in the 1970s with Steve Jobs before leaving in the 1980s, acknowledged the public were furious with Apple amid reports they had paid just 2 per cent tax on £94bn in overseas income – making them one of America's biggest tax avoiders.
But he said there was "an explanation" for Apple's behaviour, reports the Daily Telegraph. "I know some people who are lawyers. They work in California, but they pretend, they make it seem like they work in Nevada, so they can avoid the high state income tax," he said at a conference in Northern Ireland yesterday. "It's like you will do anything, any scheme you can, to maximise your profits."
Wozniak added he believed corporations should be treated the same way as people by the tax authorities.
"People are not taxed on profit. They are taxed on income," he said. "Corporations should be taxed the same as people, in my mind that is how it should be, that would make things fair and right."

pumping the fountain of tax shelters...
From Der Spiegel
Singapore has become an increasingly popular haven for money laundering and tax evasion. But now it faces calls for reform and a difficult dilemma: Can it be both a home for fortune hunters and a bastion of integrity?
A yellowish-brown fog has settled in the urban canyons of Singapore's financial district. From a skyscraper high above the harbor, you can hardly make out the endless rows of containers in the port terminals. A cloud of smog locally referred to as the "haze" -- caused by the slash-and-burn farming methods of the palm oil barons in neighboring Indonesia -- regularly darkens the skies of the wealthy city-state of Singapore, at the southern tip of the Malaysian Peninsula. But the air has never been as bad as it is now.Local critics see the haze as a symbol of how nearby filth has dirtied the city-state's business model. The city-state has made itself dependent on global trade, the growth of Asia's rising economies and on the patronage of wealthy people from around the world, who use the discreet financial center as a hub and storage site for their riches.And now Singapore faces a delicate conundrum: There have been recent signs of crisis in emerging economies like India and Indonesia, and Singapore is under growing pressure from Europe and the United States not to create unfair advantages for itself in the competition among tax havens.
Critical voices are rare in this country accustomed to success, which has almost no unemployment. It has grown steadily for many years in its role as a platform for global companies seeking to do business in Asia while paying little in taxes. The companies produce their goods in the surrounding countries, where production costs are lower.
When authorities in the United States and Europe began hunting down tax evaders in recent years and chipping away at Switzerland's banking secrecy, many of the super-rich moved their assets to Singapore.
Whenever bankers like Pattijn are asked about possible illicit money from Europe, their answers are quick and mechanical. "We don't want that kind of money," Pattijn says. "We have no appetite for that." But the revelations the emerged from Offshore Leaks -- an April report by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists which revealed the details of 130,000 offshore accounts -- put Singapore in a tight spot. The data trails of the report led directly to Singapore or, more specifically, to Temasek Boulevard.
The Fountain of Wealth, the world's largest fountain, is a bronze monstrosity located on the boulevard and surrounded by five gray office buildings, the Suntec Towers. The firm Portcullis Trustnet has its headquarters there. Portcullis builds what amount to virtual catch basins for fountains of wealth, establishes trust companies and moves assets to tax shelters.

a magical industrial tax fairyland...
A Guardian analysis has found:
Stephen Shay, a Harvard Law School professor who has held senior tax roles in the US Treasury and who last year gave expert testimony on Apple's tax avoidance structures in a Senate investigation, said: "Clearly the database is evidencing a pervasive enabling by Luxembourg of multinationals' avoidance of taxes [around the world]." He described the Grand Duchy as being "like a magical fairyland."

The documents include future fund fiddles...
The documents include details of a deal struck in 2010 between the Future Fund and Luxembourg that appears to limit income tax on trades in specific distressed debts on a $500m European portfolio to just $136,000 a year.
A management buyout deal negotiated for Lend Lease in 2003 by the accounting firm PriceWaterhouseCoopers saw lucrative management fees routed from Luxembourg through Bermuda and subcontracted back to Europe, cutting the tax rate on these payments to less than 3%.
Lend Lease was bought out of the business by Macquarie Group, which sold its 56% stake to the American funds manager BlackRock last year. Both Australian companies said they comply with domestic and international tax laws.
The secret tax arrangements of many of the world's largest companies are contained in the leak, including Pepsi, AIG, Coach and Deutsche Bank. The documents show one Luxembourg address, 5 rue Guillame Kroll, is registered to more than 1,600 businesses.
Schemes such as these are legal, but their exposure will build momentum for a crackdown on global tax avoidance at this month's G20 meeting in Brisbane.
The treasurer, Joe Hockey, has labelled "tax cheats" thieves and already agreed to increase transparency and crack down on profit shifting by having tax authorities share more information across borders.
But Labor said the government rejected measures that would prevent an additional $1.1bn being sent offshore, and cut more than $180m from the Australian Tax Office's staff budget.
Tax minimisation strategies employed by Australia's largest companies cost the federal government more than $8bn in revenue a year, a report by the union United Voice and the Tax Justice Network found.
Oxfam estimated similar techniques deprived developing nations of $114bn a year.
May be we should have a Royal Commission into these GIANT rorts, Mr Abbott?
if I were a rich man...
New details about how HSBC bank helped tax evaders and money-launderers – from political figures to celebrities to arms dealers – conceal billions of dollars in assets have sparked international condemnation, from elected officials as well as public interest groups around the world, writes Dierdre Fulton from Common Dreams.
Documents leaked by whistleblower Hervé Falciani, who worked for HSBC, show how a Swiss division of the UK-headquartered bank routinely allowed clients to withdraw bricks of cash, often in foreign currencies of little use in Switzerland; aggressively marketed schemes likely to enable wealthy clients to avoid European and U.S. taxes; colluded with some clients to conceal undeclared "black" accounts from their domestic tax authorities; and provided accounts to international criminals, corrupt businessmen, and other high-risk individuals.
"This exposes once again the rotten core of banking — it would be shocking if it weren't for the frequency with which we hear of such scandals," said David Hillman, spokesperson for the UK-based Robin Hood Tax campaign.

shifting profits...
An energy company operating in Australia transferred more than $11 billion to the low-tax jurisdiction of Singapore in a single year, heightening concerns that Australia is being duped by tax-minimising multinationals.
The extraordinary scale of funds being moved out of the country by individual companies is revealed in an internal Australian Tax Office memo, obtained under Freedom of Information.
It lists 10 companies that channelled a combined $31.4 billion from Australia to Singapore in the 2011-2012 financial year.
An estimated $60 billion in so-called "related parties" transactions went from Australia to tax havens in the same year.
Tax Commissioner Chris Jordan and a number of his senior colleagues have recently flagged concerns about cross-border transfers and intra-company refinancing and the potential that they are linked to tax avoidance.
The Tax Office is particularly concerned about mining and energy companies extracting Australian minerals which have established "marketing hubs" in Singapore that appear to have little use other than as a destination for shifted profits.

an old tax scheme...
A financial transaction tax — a per-trade charge on the buying and selling of stocks, bonds and derivatives — is an idea whose time has finally come. It has begun percolating in the Democratic presidential campaign, with all three candidates offering proposals.
Hillary Clinton and Martin O'Malley have proposed a worthy but narrow tax on certain high-frequency trades, which generate windfall profits on small and fleeting differences in prices at the expense of ordinary investors and market stability. Bernie Sanders supports a hefty tax on a broader range of transactions to raise revenue from Wall Street, also a worthy goal, but his proposal would be likely to squeeze investors too hard. Republicans have not engaged the debate, except to say no to taxes no matter what.
A well-designed financial transaction tax — one that applies a tiny tax rate to an array of transactions and is split between buyers and sellers — would be a progressive way to raise substantial revenue without damaging the markets. A new study by researchers at the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center has found that a 0.1 percent tax rate could bring in $66 billion a year, with 40 percent coming from the top 1 percent of income earners and 75 percent from the top 20 percent. As the rate rises, however, traders would most likely curtail their activity. The tax could bring in $76 billion a year if it was set at 0.3 percent, but above that rate, trading would probably decrease and the total revenue raised would start to fall.
The burden of this tax would be concentrated at the top, because that's where the ownership of financial assets is concentrated. However, individuals who buy and hold investments, including those who invest in index funds that trade infrequently, would be largely unaffected. Pension funds that devote a portion of their portfolios to speculative trading, often through hedge funds, would be hit, but some pension funds have already stopped using hedge funds because the returns do not justify the costs. A financial transaction tax that encouraged other pension funds to follow suit could actually benefit pension participants in the long run.

the dutch and irish sandwich...
Billions of euros escape every year from the various European tax systems in a completely legal way. In 2015, Google has escaped €3.6 billion in taxes thanks to well-established tax optimization techniques.
On 12 December a Dutch subsidiary of the Google company told the Dutch Chamber of Commerce to transfer € 14.9 billion in 2015 to another subsidiary of Google based in Ireland but governed by the law of Bermuda, a Caribbean tax haven where corporate taxes do not exist.
According to Dutch documents, published on 20 December by the newspaper Het Financieele Dagblad,, Google will have succeeded in 2015 in avoiding the payment of 3.6 billion euros of taxes, thanks to a complex scheme of tax optimization which allowed To Google to reduce in 2015 to 6.4% the tax rate on its profits realized outside the United States.

tax fraud in germany...
A report by German media on Wednesday claims that the German state lost at least €31.8 billion since 2001 through tricks by banker and brokers to manipulate tax payments and refunds.
Research by Mannheim University professor Christoph Spengel shared with Die Zeit and broadcaster ARD shows that the German state has lost at least €31.8 billion since 2001 through certain banking and broker practices called "cum/cum" and "ex/cum" trades.
"Cum-cum" trades are when German banks borrow a foreign investor's shares in a company right before a dividend payment, which means they can use a loophole in German law that allows domestic investors to claim a credit on taxes on dividends that foreign investors cannot claim. Basically, this means the foreign investor can avoid the tax on dividends.
These deals are estimated to have cost Germany €24.6 billion since 2001, according to Spengel.
"Cum-ex" trades are similar, but essentially allow for there to be multiple refunds filed on capital gains taxes that were only paid once to tax authorities.
Spengel calculates that these deals cost the German state €7.2 billion between 2005 and 2012.
Cum-ex trades were prohibited in 2012, cum-cum trades in 2016.
Over the course of about six months, the German reporters found evidence of a presumed criminal network of about a dozen investment bankers in London who were at the root of most of the billion-euro losses.
Several of them are currently testifying to Cologne public prosecutors.
"This is the biggest tax scandal in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany," said Spengel.

tax havens, where their piles accumulate...
It's not enough to say, in response to the Paradise Papers revelations, that we already knew that rich people parked their money in offshore tax havens, where their piles accumulate far from the scrutiny of our government. Nor is it enough to say that we were already aware that we live in a time of "inequality."
What we have learned this week is the clinical definition of the word. What we have learned is how much the rich and the virtuous have been hiding away and where they're hiding it. Yes, there are sinister-looking Russian capitalists involved. But there's also our favorite actors and singers. Our beloved alma mater, supposedly a charitable institution. Everyone with money seems to be in on it.
We're also learning that maybe we've had it backwards all along. Tax havens on some tropical island aren't some sideshow to western capitalism; they are a central reality. Those hidden billions are like an unseen planet whose gravity is pulling our politics and our economy always in a certain direction. And this week we finally began to understand what that uncharted planet looks like; we started to grasp its mass and its power.

On June 4, 1989, Associated Press photographer Jeff Widener snapped the Tank Man photo during the crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in Beijings Tiananmen Square which became one of the most iconic photos of the 21st century. The photographer, on a visit to Hong Kong, talks about some of the lesser-known images he took during the tumultuous period.
BEIJING has put additional police on the street and detained government critics as part of a security crackdown on the eve of the 25th anniversary of the crushing of pro-democracy protests centred on the capital's Tiananmen Square.

I always buy lamb for Easter, but I waited too late this year. All that the supermarkets had left on Saturday were expensive crown racks. My favorite supermarket here, Martin's (a subsidiary of Giant) did have some cheaper shank ends, so I bought a twin pack for $6.50. They also had hormone-free whole fryers for half-price ($3.13) and ham butts for an astounding .58/lb ($4.38). A good meat harvest for under $15.
I marinated the lamb overnight in a standard mix of garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and rosemary. Standard but never tiring. I roasted the two shanks for a couple of hours; they should have been braised, but I like the smell of roasting lamb on Easter.
For the rest of the Easter meal, I mashed some Louisiana yams and steamed some broccoli, and a colorful plate it was. I added some slices of the ham butt. Lamb and yam and ham make a harmonious ménage a tois.
I feel a Biblical connection with the lamb, and a cultural connection to the ham and the two vegetables, having grown up Italian in New Orleans, LA. It would be an odd combination in other lamb-eating parts of the world, but for me it was food as a reflection of myself.
Dare I say, the meal resurrected my spirit.

Andres Iniesta is delighted Barcelona have opened the chequebook this week. The Barca midfielder is pleased Henrique is back after last season's loan at Bayer Leverkusen, while former Inter Milan wing-back Maxwell has been signed.
Iniesta said: "It is always necessary to improve.
"A few years ago we had this little oversight, and I think that the club is now doing things well."
On their bid for Inter Milan star Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Iniesta added: "There is nothing official. Nor has Samuel Eto'o left. When it's done, we can talk.
"For the moment, Eto'o continues to be my teammate, for whom I have great respect."

Following reports that wideout Alshon Jeffery had signed with the Eagles, we heard that the receiver had signed a one-year deal worth $14MM. Well, we're now learning that that's the contract's peak value.
ESPN's Jordan Raanan tweets that Jeffery will actually be making $9.5MM on his next contract, and the deal can max out at $14MM. Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle adds (via Twitter) that the receiver has a $1MM base salary (guaranteed) and a $7.75MM signing bonus. There's also a $750K workout bonus and up to $4.5MM in incentive bonuses.
Jeffery was hampered by injures and a suspension over the past two seasons, but he's still one of the most dynamic wideouts in the NFL. In 2013, Jeffery caught 89 passes for 1,421 yards and seven touchdown, and he followed that up with a campaign where he hauled in 85 catches for 1,133 yards and ten scores.
We learned yesterday that the veteran didn't even consider the Bears, his former team.

Oh for crying out loud. It happened again. You were looking for something, when another unfamiliar Linux concept was lobbed at you without explanation.
I remember my frustration with the endless onslaught of terminology and concepts to learn.
This time the horrid topic was Live Linux distributions, also known as LiveCDs, LiveDVDs, or LiveUSBs.
Well, worry not! I'm here to help, and Live distributions are easy to understand. You'll be an expert in no time.
What Are Live Distributions?
You've probably never heard of, or imagined, a concept like Live distributions.
Traditionally, operating systems need installation. During installation, they are copied to a computer's hard disk. The operating system then runs off the disk for the remainder of its life.
Well, brace yourself. This isn't always necessary. Many Linux distributions support running from a CD, DVD, or USB thumb drive without prior installation.
I don't know about you, but I was surprised when I found this out. I had always assumed installation was a necessary prerequisite before using an operating system, but that's not true.
Linux distributions capable of running, without installation, are called Live distributions (think live as in "Saturday Night Live," not "No! Please! I want to live!"). You get Live distributions the same way as any other distribution. You download it and burn the ISO image to a disc or extract it to a USB thumb drive, or you purchase it from a website like OSDisc.com.
Years ago, when Live distributions came about, the only reasonable option for using Live distributions was burning them to a CD. USB thumb drives and DVDs hadn't been invented yet.
Because of this, Live distributions became known as LiveCDs. Technology has since advanced and we now have other options for using Live distributions. But, the name LiveCD still sticks around.
It is quite common to hear LiveCD regardless of whether the distribution is used on a DVD or USB thumb drive. Some sticklers for detail call them LiveDVDs if used on a DVD or LiveUSB if used on a USB, but this is far from uniform practice.
Because of the inconsistency, I prefer to stick with the phrase Live distribution instead of using LiveCD, LiveDVD, or LiveUSB.
Downsides & Limitations to Live Distributions
Let's start with the bad news.
Any changes made to a running Live distribution are temporary. This is because CDs and DVDs are read-only storage. Software installed and settings changed will not persist between sessions. If you install an add-on to Mozilla Firefox, the next time you restart, the add-on will have disappeared.
Because they are writable, it is technically possible to add data persistence on LiveUSBs, with some distributions. But the current methods for doing this are limited, inconsistent, and prone to problems. In my opinion, it's not worth it.
Effectively, Live distributions are reset to an out-of-the-box state every time you use it. This makes it impractical for use as your normal operating system.
In addition, because they run from a CD, DVD, or USB thumb drive, Live distributions are slower than their traditionally installed counterparts. If you use a fast USB thumb drive and have a lot of memory in your computer, it's not too bad, but using a DVD on a computer with limited memory is painfully slow.
Upsides to Live Distributions
Yes, it only works with some Linux distributions. It's true, data doesn't persist across sessions. But, it's a full operating system, that doesn't require installation, at your fingertips. No files or operating systems are overwritten. There's no need to mess with partitions. It's a powerful operating system that needs no setup before starting and leaves no traces after shutting down.
This is very powerful. It allows testing whether a distribution meets your needs and approval before committing to it.
These live distributions also open up several possibilities for computer troubleshooting and repair.
Imagine that your normal operating system breaks for some reason, but you have important files you need to access. Simply insert a Live distribution into your computer, start the computer, and mount the hard drive. You can then access all your files and do what you need to do.
Or, perhaps you need to mess with disk partitions, but can't have your normal operating system running while you do it. Start your Live distribution and manipulate partitions as needed.
I recently experienced this hypothetical situation firsthand. I had to fix someone's computer when their operating system would not start. I traced the problem to a corrupted hard disk. Using a Linux Mint LiveDVD, I was able to recover all the files from the corrupted disk and copy them to another computer using their home network. I was then able to fix their corrupted drive, reinstall their operating system, and restore all their files. Without the Live distribution, I wouldn't have been able to recover their files without purchasing a new hard disk, or expensive recovery software.
A Linux Live distribution saved money, sped up the troubleshooting and repair process, and saved files from being lost forever.
Which Distributions are Live?
Linux has countless distributions, and most support this usage. A comprehensive list of live distributions is available at LiveCDList.com. However, it is quite probable that any distribution you want to try will support this, or have a variant that supports it.
Some distributions, like Linux Mint, only come as Live distributions. Others, like openSUSE, give you a choice to either download a Live version or a traditional version that requires installation.
Most Live distributions include a tool to install the distribution, turning it into a traditional operating system install.
Live distributions aren't perfect. They are slow and do not keep data, applications, and settings between uses.
But, they are full Linux distributions that run without needing installation. This is a boon to anyone experimenting with distributions or repairing computers.
Be sure to share your favorite Live distributions and any awesome stories about how you use them in the comments below!

You should first know I am Amy and I have a wonderful husband of 11 years and a son Michael who is 10. We live in the country and well I truly love it! No we don't have pizza delivery out here but then again my body doesn't need the extra calories that might bring LOL. We are a pet loving family we have what my dear brother would say as a small ark. 2 dogs, 2 cats , 2 fish and 1 guinea pig. Coco is our oldest dog he is an Australian Shepard mix and loves to hang out in our swimming pond and herd fish. Bella our little princess girl is a Beagle, Basset hound, and black lab. I know what a combo huh :) You will generally see her trying to follow in Coco footsteps, which is annoying to him but yet he watches over his little sis!Then their is Peanut Butter.....PB for short. He is a Tabby and typical independent cat. Loves to roam and party but comes home to eat and crash for a bit. Sounds like a teenager huh? Then their is our baby boy Shadow he is a Himalayan and Oh so soft. He melts everybody's heart even to non cat lovers. Yes, I do prefer dogs but when hubby brought him home I was in love! Yes, you heard me right, my tough macho man is the biggest animal lover and could not say no to this little one. Shadow truly picked out daddy.... came walking right up to him and he just scooped him up and never put him down till he got home. Ok everyone say aweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Ok then we have two beta fish Diamond and Pearl. We went to our friends wedding and well for center pieces were vases and the fish. Our sons godmother told us if we wanted to take one home we could. Well of course, the look on our sons face, was priceless and thats the end of that story.....then last but not least is Lilly Lou our sons guinea pig who knows my hubby's voice....and she will start squeaking at him, cause she knows he will break down and give her goodies aka lettuce!
Ok now that you know all that lives amongst me here in the country. Now you should know that I love to scrapbook....well currently love to collect supplies more then anything. That will soon change for I need to get serious for I told hubby I am going to try to make a business out of this. Which of course is named Paperkeepsakes:) I am currently selling on Ebay, Etsy and Ewaey all under the same name. I truly want to start creating a lot to build up my premade stock, to sell at a craft show that is held at the local HS before Christmas. A little nervous about that but I hope to get over that fear and go for it. Ok I think I may have said enough for the first day. Thanks for stopping in Bye !

We left our befuddled author standing before the imposing gates to the Great Courtyard of Publishing and wondering how to gain admittance. Since then she's spent a great deal of time with queries to agents and publishers and is disappointed by the responses—the very few she's received for her many attempts. She can't seem to find a wedge to open that gate and have someone seriously consider her work. So now she is ready to think about self-publishing.
The array of reasons for wanting to publish remains the same for most writers. Most dream of that big advance that will allow them a chance to write full-time. Most have spent years trying to work their writing into a schedule with the work that actually pays the bills. They long for writing to pay the bills so it IS their work and so they can write all those things that have been swimming around in their heads for a very long time. Oh, to have the opportunity to get them down on paper (or into the computer!) while still keeping a roof over their heads!
Others feel their work is important enough to gain them recognition. They see themselves at signings with a long line of devoted fans who appreciate what they've done, doing interviews and admiring store windows filled with displays of their books. They may feel they only had this one book in them and it deserves notice as the glowing culmination of their efforts.
Some writers have much more modest ambitions. Perhaps they only want to share their work with family and friends. Some have written something that has a targeted audience—say a children's book, a new crafts technique, health insight, spiritual or political message—and they know their audience will be interested, but they also know their book and the New York Times bestseller list will never meet.
Still others simply believe in what they've done and want to share it with people who will appreciate it. For them it's not about fame and fortune, it's simply about "the work."
Before our writer decides to investigate the world of self-publishing, she needs to be very clear about WHY she wants to publish. If she's dreaming of that big advance she will have to let that one go and shift to knowing that if she self-publishes, 100% of the marketing will fall on her shoulders. It's still possible that she'll be able to make money, but her marketing efforts will be eating into her writing time as well as her "real-job" time.
I think this is the biggest mistake new writers make and it can lead to deep disappointment and, in some cases, financial disaster: Only the darlings of the big publishers get widespread promotion these days and they represent LESS than .001 percent (yes, POINT ZERO ZERO ONE) of the new titles published each year (which is currently nudging one million). Even the big publishers expect their non-star authors to do a great deal of promotion on their own (and at their own expense). If you do manage to get a big publisher there are ways to work their system to your advantage and get some help with promotion, but we are talking about self-publishing here and the writer, in effect, becomes the publisher.
So our writer begins researching the online publishing opportunities. Most of these companies produce their books with POD (Print On Demand) technology. This allows books to be produced as they are needed (ordered/sold) rather than the traditional print run of 1,000 to 5,000 copies. (I will address the traditionally printed books next time around.)
POD has gotten a bad rap because of the proliferation of self-published titles. Though many of the big houses produce their less prominent titles this way, many book stores and reviewers refuse to consider POD titles, failing to make the distinction between "self-published" and "press-published" and using, instead, production method to guide their choice. They never consider that much of what is on their shelves from the big publishers is produced POD.
So, the online publishing companies: There are a great many of them and you must be very cautious. Be sure that you understand exactly what they offer and how much to will cost. Several say they will publish your book for free, but we all know "there is no free lunch" and there is no really "free" publishing, either.
Many of the online companies start their publishing packages at a low price (maybe $600) and then begin adding additional charges for editing packages, cover design packages, promotional packages, distribution packages—the list expands with the creativity of their marketing department and can easily exceed $15,000.
For an author wanting 25-100 copies of a book for friends and family, who is not interested in having distribution or promotion, who just wants their manuscript turned into physical books for them to personally distribute, online companies can provide the perfect solution. What they cannot do is turn a book into a national bestseller through what they offer. That work falls strictly on the author's shoulders.
So, our author has studied her motivation, her expectations and the amount of money she's willing to spend. She's made herself a realistic and practical marketing plan and a budget that will allow her to follow it. She has carefully studied the various online publishers, looked at the books they've published and determined the range of observable quality of what they've produce for their authors evidenced by the titles, subject, book covers and descriptions, (which are most often written by the authors) that they feature on their websites.
At this point (if not long before she began sending out those original queries) she must decide if her ms. needs professional editing and proofreading. If she had a professional evaluation done, it may have indicated some of the problems that needed to be addressed, which could be as minor as punctuation and typos that needed correcting or as complicated as problems with the plot or POVs. If this step has not been taken, it must be if she's to have any hope of selling her books.
And this is admittedly dicey. You need to understand that you mother or your best friend might not be the best judge of your work and whether it's ready to go to print! How can you know whom to trust (and pay) to evaluate or edit or proofread your work?
Many of the online publishers will offer packages for these services, some quite expensive, but regardless of the charges, many will not actually read your book, or will simply wait awhile, then tell you what you want to hear ("this is great, the book has a lot of potential, perfect for today's market," etc.). They may simply run your work through some sort of editing software and charge you for "editing," having never read it or noticed that the name of one of your characters changes halfway through the book because you forgot to do the "find & change" on all of your chapters.
Only you can decide how important this is to you. If you're convinced what you have is ready to print, then go for it. Bypass all the services offered and get your book produced. Just be aware that when people read your book, consider carrying it in their store, review it on Amazon (assuming they have somehow learned that it exists and have looked for it there), these things, uncorrected will come back to haunt you.
The ideal solution is to find an independent editor that is a good fit with your work, one you will be able to discuss the book with, who is familiar with your genre (romance, poetry, history, fiction, childrens') and who you believe will offer a fair and meaningful evaluation. It will be money well spent. While you may not agree with all their observations, you will at least have a valuable second opinion that deserves consideration.
Before I finish, I want to recount my own interaction with an online publisher that I decided to experiment with as far as marketing is concerned. This was a number of years ago when the online self-publishing was just beginning to attract attention. I'd already published the book and it was my own work I offered up to see if any of what they promised was true.
I first corresponded first with the "president" of the company, explaining that the book was already published, that I was a small press and that if the service they provided was as promised (in particular "reaching more than 5,000 book club members"), that I had a number of books I would be interested in promoting. He (naturally) assured me it was a great idea, hoped we could work together, was anxious to see my book, etc. So I paid my money and waited for the first step to be completed: an "editor" would read and evaluate my book, then write a description that would be used to present my book to the various markets (which included reviewers and radio markets as well as those book clubs.)
Months passed. I heard nothing so emailed to find out what was going on. I received a form reply saying they hadn't gotten to it. Two more months passed and I contacted everyone there that I could to say that because I had never heard anything from them I expected a refund. I got a terse form letter from the accounting department (!) saying it wasn't their problem if I didn't like the evaluation they'd given me!
I finally reached someone on the phone and explained that my problem was not with what they had provided, but rather that they had provided nothing!
Finally, I received a badly reworded (and not even grammatical!) rendition of my existing cover copy. The book cover and description (I insisted they use my original) was going to go out to all the supposed "book club members." I then learned—through searching online—that they had their own "book club" which apparently consisted of their existing mailing list. I complained to the "president" and received no response.
In another month or two I got an actual letter from a supposed "Christian Book Club" saying they just loved my book, it was perfect for them and for another $600 they'd offer it to their members. This was a surprise when I considered that my book, while set in the 18th century, involved graphic sex, homosexual relationships, sodomy, violence, sexual abuse and no fondness for the Catholic Church (it's not as bad as all that, but it is certainly not suitable for a supposed "Christian" book club!) I pointed this out to them, which made them huffily reply that the letter had been a "mistake." Gee…ya think?
I finally got in touch with the president again and he offered several services to make amends, which I suspect were never completed. And by the way, if my book was actually presented to 5,000 people of any sort is it REALLY possible that not even one person was interested enough to buy a copy?
Already-long-story-short, the company went out of business and emerged (with the same "president") under another name—due to an abundance of lawsuits, no doubt—and surprisingly he had the nerve to contact me and suggest we work together under the new company!
I offer this embarrassing bit of personal history in a effort to caution you to be very careful with your own expectations and when selecting the services offered by some of these companies. I'm sure some do exactly as promised, and some have been around for a number of years and are still in business. Investigate. Google complaints against the company. Check out the websites of some of their authors. Check the reviews on Amazon of the books, or if they are even available there. You just want to be sure you have a clear understanding of what you will get for your money and be sure it's what you need or want to make your publication dreams come true. When you are self-publishing, the buck stops with your SELF!
Next time: How to actually become your own publisher and if that's really what you want.
Comments as always, are welcome!

OK Here,s Something cool to try if you are computer savvy and not afraid to try. Its like CB Radio only on your computer.
Brad and one of his friends has set up a Teamspeak server
( http://www.teamspeak.com/ ).
Teamspeak is like Skype. Its a free verbal communication system that you can use 24x7 365 days. With a simple headset/microphone combo (20/25 bucks) you can talk to lots of people.
You need to download TS3 client.
Agree to the license.
Walk thru the setup.
(First time you go on you will need to Close the Server List window)
Click connections (upper Left hand or the ts3 window)
Then enter the following Numbers into the server address.
Plus add your nickname.
I suggest the name you use in Motortopia. leave the password blank
When you log into the Server you will see a few different Channels. You will have to get a moderator to give you normal privileges. To move to our channel.
Then you can click and join one of the virtual rooms (Left hand pane of the window)
Find the Motortopia Channel, with Sub channels below .
The Sub Channels are specific channels.
truck ect.
Under Pontiac there is a channel Called : " East Bound and Down"
for all the Trans am people out there.
This is where we will meet.
Meeting is Monday Night
August 15 6pm C.S.T. Until?
LIKE THIS >> http://www.mo...l1.jpg-630715
IF you have a Car Club, and you want to have Club meetings? . This would be a good way to get all your club members together,that may be scattered around the Country. A Specific Channel Can be Created with your Club Name.So all who enter the server, will see their club name and know where to go. And just like that you have a meeting. Its simply a great way to communicate for free...24x7,365.
p.s... If NO 1 is on the server ,dont be SHY, just hop in a room and make it yours.Tell your friends to join you, and have fun.

After a one week break, The Event suffered another big ratings drop. The serial drama lost 15% of its demo audience when compared to the last episode that aired on October 25th. Since the series was given a full season, hopefully producers will give loyal viewers some closure by the end of the season.
At 10pm, Chase also fell, but not as significantly as The Event. However, Chase has already fallen so low that you have to wonder how much lower it could go. On Monday, the series attracted less than half of the demo audience of its closest timeslot competitor (ABC's Castle).

What are literary elements of Bud not Buddy?
- print Print
- list Cite
There are several literary elements in Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis.
Characterization is a strong element in portraying this young boy who has lived unhappily in foster care since his mother died. He is portrayed as a resourceful, determined and funny youngster. His humorous take on life, including his rules, make the story more entertaining, while allowing a reader from any age to identify with the impediments that keep him from finding his "father."
The other most important element is the setting. Taking place during the Great Depression, the author provides not only information regarding this time in history, but also the plight of orphaned children, families struggling to stay together, the massive movement of the unemployed willing to face violence to find work to support themselves and their families, and something that also exemplifies the more difficult plight of a black person in America during this time. While the Depression knocks thousands of people to their knees, the blacks have a more difficult time; jobs were more likely to go to white males than black males.
The ltierary elements of all novels are as follows:
Characters, Theme, Setting, Point of View, Plot
In the case of Bud, Not Buddy, one of the most important of the elements is Setting, because the setting of the story has an enormous influence on Buddy. His challenges stem from the time and place of the story.

WOW!!! Great roof top open air bar and frill added!
By tomdwyer on 6/18/2013
They have duplicated the great food and fun to another bar on their roof. Rain, no problem, they close the roof until it stops:)_ You gotta try this before the word gets out. This will be a SRO hot spot. The burgers, Shepherds Pie and other specials are sensational. Irish staff great. they left me smiling. Best Irish Pub on west side!!

Great expanded menu, appetisizers are even better
By tomdwyer on 6/20/2013
They added an open air roof top bar and grill. Your pictures are out dated, they do not show the great new place! Food, drinks and service was great! They improved their menu, adding several new dishes and tasty specials and appetizers!

Created In…
Created In…
We all know we didn't come about all by our own weesome. There was something behind our particular birth and life. Something that sustains us……. day after day. We are here for a purpose.
Then, Ephesians 2:10 informs us,
We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.
God "created" us "for good works". We have been "created in Christ Jesus for good works" — but, are we really doing what God wants us to do in our lives? We need to answer that for ourselves.
We have a pretty good idea of how God wants us to live — and share His salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. Are we honestly applying that to our daily lives?
Are we living in the truths of God's word that we have come to know? We most likely are not theologians, who have studied the Bible for years. Nevertheless, we do know the basics of what God wants us to do — because of what He has done for us in Christ Jesus.
God wants truth in our lives.
So many these days don't really have God's truths. They are living by the sub-standards of false preachers, cults, and heathen influences. They are allowing their lives to be influenced by the garbage in movies, TV, Internet, and other media. In other words, their absorption in this world has robbed them of a true faith in God Almighty.
We have been "created in Christ Jesus" to lovingly tell of life in God's truths — salvation by faith in Christ. It's simple — but, it's eternal life.
Ever thankful that God has led us to His truths, we say, "Hallelujah! LORD, because You have given us eternal life through faith in Christ Jesus, help us to rightly share Your truths to those around us."
A Christian devotional to glorify the LORD of lords and GOD of gods.
Pray for our country.
… Handel's Hallelujah Chorus …
The LORD made this day, let us rejoice and be glad in Him.
Psalm 118:24
The word of the LORD is tried;
He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
Psalm 18:30
Sing for joy in the LORD, O you righteous ones;
Praise is becoming to the upright.
Psalm 33:1
How blessed are those who dwell in Thy house!
They are ever praising Thee.
Psalm 84:4
Just as a father has compassion on his children,
So the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.
Psalm 103:13
O give thanks to the LORD, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
Psalm 107:1
Glory in His holy name;
Let the heart of those who seek the LORD be glad.
Psalm 105:3
Not that I have already obtained it, or have already become perfect, but I press on in order that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:12

My concept of duct tape was that of the silvery gray tape that solves almost all problems one may encounter in life. Even though I can't even hammer a nail into the wall to hang a picture without doing significant damage, I am a whiz at fixing life's mishaps with a strip of duct tape. I know I'm not alone in this and that almost the entire world has learned to appreciate the endless uses of duct tape.
I have, apparently, been living in a cave though when it comes to how duct tape has morphed into a major fashion and decorating statement over the years. Yes, I knew you could find duct tape in different colors now but I didn't realize that there would be a reason to need polka dotted tape or animal print duct tape.
This is where my daughter comes in. Gracie discovered the seemingly endless ways to be creative with duct tape. Why hide a minor repair to something with a strip of duct tape that matches in color when you can advertise the repair by using pink zebra stripes? I was even taken aback recently when she asked if she could spend her allowance on cheetah print duct tape instead of her usual Barbie doll accessory or lip gloss request.
I'm not sure what she's planning with the duct tape. She mentioned that she was going to use it with her Barbie doll. I hope the plan is to create some duct tape clothing and that I don't walk into her room one day and find her Ken doll has been bound and gagged.

"and in this way, you will fulfill the law of Christ." Galatians 6:2 How pleasant and personal, sister-like is it when someone helps you and carries some of your burdens, if only by being there to talk or pray, or send a note. I have a friend whose ministry is sending notes. She probably sends hundreds each year. They are not just a note card, but personal, caring, hand writing that shows she knows your situation and truly cares.
Each of us has our own ministry that shows others our love for them.
John has been so sick! I think he was depressed today and I just MADE him get out of bed and go to the garden center. At one point I looked back at him and he was leaning over the basket, and I almost felt guilty! But he felt so much better in the afternoon because he got out of bed! We came home and dug and planted lots of flowers. Tonight he is relapsing and feels terrible. Maybe tomorrow he will be better since he has taken 5 out of 14 antibiotics. so far.
We were talking today about how children can no longer play games like we did--"Red Rover", "Kick ball", "dodge ball", because they might get hurt! How sad, that children cannot be free to go out, get hurt, get over it, and "be sure you are home by dark". We sure did have fun in that freedom.
Prayers for children everywhere, for safety, for parents who care, and praying for John to get well. As usual off chemo, I feel very well! Thank you God for the rest and for the good CT in 2 months!

We've all tried to accomplish it, or at least had the intention of trying. Leaving that hurtful vice behind is a thought that flirts around with us at some point or another. A pleasurable addiction that consciously hurts us, but has given us so many guilty pleasures that it makes it hard to leave behind. So you play around with the idea at first. To make it happen, first you need to let people know. Your friends and family support the idea, and yet, somehow, it's not the first time they have. You know that in the end the intention is what counts, and you feel glorious, triumphant.
So then, you go on with your life and the next day you feel you can take over the world. Somehow just saying it out loud makes you feel like you're over it. You've finally defeated the beast, but the minute you look away it comes back. Haunting you, hurting you, slowly eating you away. A part of you can't deny the taste for it, but the rest of you is screaming out loud for help and begging you to stop.
So the next time, you say: this is it. It's over. I'm done with it. I'm through.
You acknowledge the fact that it's painful, and are truly determined to give it all away for the serenity of just being you. This time, you not only tell your friends, but you decide to act. You go through a day or two, thinking and saying to yourself it's for the best. You lie to yourself repeatedly saying this is what you want: "Honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way." You say to yourself: I am so much happier. And yet, you take a look in the mirror and can't pronounce a single word. Your eyes defy the words you speak and deep inside you're hoping you can find a way to stumble, a way to inadvertently trip over yourself and fall like
And somehow, it gains on you again, convinces you its ok to feel this way and to accept the terms of your engagement. You don't see how you could have it any other way. You are a victim of your own ambition and become a person you would never thought you would be. You deny your own freedom and tell yourself this is how it should be and you accept it. You accept the fact that you have lost the key.
You go on through your life in a fog of denial and uncertainty. You say to yourself you are in control and yet feel like you're floating in a dream, painfully knowing one day you'll roll out of bed and wake up. And when that moment finally happens, when that day finally arrives, you open your eyes to reality and see. You see a parallel world where things just aren't what they seemed. The curtain is unveiled and even though you've known all along what's behind it, you despise it.
But you are no longer angry, you're not upset, and you are no longer sad.
Somehow, it's different this time.
The clouds slowly begin to fade away and a glimpse of light appears in the horizon. The sun is finally shining and you take a deep breath of clean air. You take a look around and see familiar faces. Then one person takes your hand, and then another, and another. And then you realize that there is no key, there never was. The door is wide open and all you have to do is take the first step and walk through it. This time, there is no way you can fall. All odds are on your side and the road has never been wider. So you take a look around, point your finger and say: I'm going that way.

…became the Thing that Used to be Conservatism.
The Thing That Used to be Liberalism lost its soul some 20 years earlier, when it ceased to be the party of the little guy and became the party that would stick scissors in a baby's brain in order to get a vote.
I'm interested in conservatism insofar as it actually conserves something good from the Catholic tradition, just as I'm interested in liberalism insofar as it advances the work of the kingdom in works of mercy toward the weak and vulnerable.
I have no interest in either as a brand and I am actively hostile to both when the former conserves and the latter advances evil and stupidity.
Evaluate your party in light of the Tradition, not the Tradition in terms of its utility to your party.

Fluids, Fluids, Everywhere: day at the plasma center
The other day I went to donate plasma. It started out as an expected 3 hour wait to go through the entire process that includes a brief exam and urine test for the first visit. I expected this, so I pulled out my game boy advance, had a seat and started playing. It was a metroid game I borrowed from Justin. (yay justin)
I love Metroid games. They are lots of fun. So I'm playing Metroid in the waiting room about an hour passes but no worries. To make a boring waiting room visit short. I got called up, photographed, sent to the other waiting room, got my blood sample with the little pin prick. Then they tell me to give them a urine sample. With my little cup I head into the restroom. ****EDITTED FOR YOUR CONVIENCE****
I have a half full cup of urine. Oddly, I don't have a lid to seal it in. Now the man said to not flush or wash my hands till I give him the cup, then I may do so. ICKY ICKY I'm unclean. But I suck it up and open the door to hand him the cup. As I start to hand him the cup I see someone walking right between us. Doing the polite thing, I do not thrust the urine into her path. About that time the spring loaded door swings back and slams into my holding hand splashing the contents of the cup on the floor, on my hand, and perhaps even on my (soon to be washed) shirt. The man i was attempting to hand it too says "That's not good." I agree with a freaked out disgusted/horribly embarrassed look on my face, but I retreat to the restroom and begin to wipe up the floor with paper towels and scrub the top layer of skin off my hands in order to insure that I am clean. Questions I ask myself.
1) Why place the restroom in a high traffic area which this was (you'd understand if you saw it) if people are going to be running around with urine samples?
2) Why have the door be spring loaded to close behind you if people are going to have to stand in the entrance of the door to avoid splashing passers-by with human waste?
3) If you must have a spring loaded door for a bathroom in a high traffic area WHY IN THE NAME OF ALL THAT IS SANITARY DO YOU NOT INVEST IN TINY LIDS FOR YOUR CUPS OF URINE!!!
I get cleaned up, and apparently I pass all the tests because eventually I make my way to the plasma giving center. Now I am leaving out a very humorous and pleasant conversation with marlena (i think) the physician assistant who checked to make sure that I wasn't a druggie or a man of loose living. I also learned that you cannot give plasma if you are bi-polar. NEAT! I'm on the bed, needle in the arm and blood being taken from my body. This doesn't bother me, what is making me squirm is the movie they are playing. You may ask "Llama, why not use the gameboy?" 1) because it was now about 3 hours later at the start of the actual plasma removal and the batteries were about dead 2) I can't play metroid with one arm and the other arm was in no position to help me play.
Anyway, they are showing Aeon Flux. I know it was a great cartoon, but it made a horrid movie. It smelled of a bad matrix clone. I will admit that I found the "bad guys plot" to be very interesting and entertaining, but I could not get into the characters or have concern for the future of the human race which Aeon threated to put into jeopardy at one point. To be fair, I did miss the opening of the movie, but it just seemed mostly bland. I know a lot of the movie was supposed to just be hot women in skimpy outfits fighting, but even that didn't do much for me. Maybe its hard to get a blood flow to the penis when it is going out a tube from your arm?? I dunno.
My digust for this movie was so bad that when the nurse came to check on me, she asked if everything was okay, I said "no, your movie really sucks." She agreed with sympathy. The lass beside me agreed as well. Ah well, at least I didn't have to pay to see it. I do wonder if the cartoon was good.
Sorry I've been a bad little blogger, but I've gotten addicted to the Order of the Stick message boards and spend a lot of time on them lately. They have a great game called Stabbity Death where you simply inflict a stabbity death on the person who posted above you and explain why. Its simple, its silly, its a shame my friends forums don't have enough people to play.

Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. and Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. today announced that they have collaborated to develop a new multi-fiber optical connector that enjoins and aligns multiple optical fibers for optical interconnects.
The conventional method of connecting optical fibers requires high-precision polishing that aligns the tips of the fibers, making the cost of this process considerable.
Fujitsu Laboratories and Furukawa Electric have developed a connector that can accommodate different lengths of optical fiber with a spring mechanism that obviates the need for this polishing process, slashing by more than half the cost required to connect optical fibers.
This new jointly developed connector achieves performance on par with conventional connectors while simplifying the task of installing high-capacity optical interconnects in a server.
It is anticipated that this technology will increase data transmission speed between boards, increasing overall server performance.
This technology is being presented in detail at SPIE Photonics West 2014 in San Francisco.

Coach Kim Swee to decide on SEA Games squad after friendlies
Datuk Ong Kim Swee (fourth from right) is close to finalising his 20-player football squad for the Myanmar SEA Games.
PETALING JAYA: National Under-23 coach Datuk Ong Kim Swee is close to finalising his 20-player football squad for the Myanmar SEA Games.
The former international has two more warm-up matches lined up – against Johor Darul Ta'zim II in Larkin on Friday and the visiting Japanese Third Division side FC Ryukyu at the MBPJ Stadium on Dec 4 – before making the call.
"I'm going to have a tough time trimming the training squad from 26 to 20," said Kim Swee on Thursday.
For the SEA Games, defending champions Malaysia are in Group A with Vietnam, Singapore, Brunei and Laos. Group B comprises Indonesia, Thailand, Timor Leste, Cambodia and hosts Myanmar.
Kim Swee said that the two friendlies would be crucial to test the players ahead of the SEA Games.
"I will try out a couple of new combinations due to injuries to several key players. I want to see the best possible combinations before I decide on the final 20," said Kim Swee, who has lost several stalwarts, including midfielder Junior Eldstal, who has been advised to take a three-month rest due to a nagging back injury.
The other players who will miss the Games through injuries are defenders Fandi Othman, Nik Shahrul Azim, midfielder Gary Steven Robbat, winger Wan Zack Haikal Wan Nor and forward Syahrul Azwari Ibrahim.
The only consolation for Kim Swee is the return of striker Izzaq Faris Ramlan and attacking midfielder Ashri Chuchu from injuries.
The duo were put to the test in the recent overseas tour, including playing in the invitational BIDC Cup in Cambodia and the two friendlies against the Jordan Under-22 side which they lost 3-1 and 5-0.
Kim Swee's boys will play Brunei in the opening Group A match on Dec 10 in Naypyitaw.

Our guide dog group is wanting more volunteers to raise puppies to be guide dogs.
Today, I could not go because I was feeling ill. But Microbio daughter went. I think they were hoping that she was another future puppy raiser. But no, she was with us. I'm so glad she went. She got to meet the people.
