A Brooklyn Park boy named Colby Harrer served up hundreds of pancakes to his neighbors and friends as a way to raise money for the international nonprofit BIZAA. He hoped to raise three thousand dollars.
Brooklyn Park Police are using candy bars to make connections in the community this summer. They were a gift from the local Walmart store.
"When they called us and said we have 6,500 candy bars, we said we can definitely give them away," said Community Engagement Officer, Matt Rabe. "We really don't know how yet. But yeah, absolutely. So we went and picked them up."
That led to an idea about how to go behind the badge and make connections outside enforcing the law.
Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial kickoff to the long awaited summer season across Minnesota. According to Brooklyn Park Fire Department, there are a few important safety items to check off of your holiday to-do list.
The development of a Family Aquatic Center in Brooklyn Park was one of the top five priories the community identified as part of the 2018 Parks and Recreation System Plan process. In order to better understand the type of aquatic facility, its components, programs and cost to construct—along with the long-term financial business plan and what impact it would have on the City and the community—a feasibility study was needed.
Brooklyn Park City staff won two Northern Lights communications awards from the Minnesota Association of Government Communicators.
Two Brooklyn Park Police employees and two members of the community received high honors at the department's annual awards ceremony. The awards celebrate our officers and employees who performed exemplary work throughout the year, and individuals who serve the community.
Spring has finally sprung in the northwest suburbs, which means it's time for the youth baseball season.
Saturday was opening day for youngsters in the Brooklyn Park Athletic Association.
There was a collage of team colors at Northwoods Park for the ceremonies as the young ballplayers were introduced before family, friends and teammates. Over 400 kids ages 5 to 12 signed up this year.
Eliminating violence and creating safer communities among young men and boys in the African American community is the crux of a national initiative called Cities United. Brooklyn Park is part of the effort, and the city held a statewide conference aiming to encourage other cities to join the group.
A prairie area in Village Creek Park is to be intentionally burned as part of a management plan that has been designed to maintain its health and vigor.
Brooklyn Park City Manager Jay Stroebel has nominated T. John Cunningham to be the City's next Fire Chief and Director of Emergency Management.
Cunningham has more than twenty years of experience in the fire service, and since 2009 has served as Elk River's Fire Chief and Director of Emergency Management.
Sometimes the best volunteers are the ones who show up to get things done. That's the case with Brooklyn Park Crime Prevention Board volunteer Dave Kaliher. He has been serving on the board of the organization since it started almost three decades ago.
The City of Brooklyn Park has been named a Tree City USA community by the Arbor Day Foundation because of its commitment to community forestry.
After nearly a year of community engagement efforts, on Monday, February 5, 2018, Brooklyn Park City Council approved the 10-year Parks and Recreation System Plan.
Can you help mentor the city's young people? The City of Brooklyn Park and the YWCA are partnering to host a series of seminars to give young people positive interactions, mentoring and conversations with police officers, business people and others. These seminars will be your chance to invest your time, talent and expertise in young people to lead them to a path to a brighter future. The series begins in April and last for ten weeks.
The Cities of Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center Rec on the Go program received the 2017 Award of Excellence this year from the Minnesota Recreation and Parks Association. The City received the Tommy Johnson Award, which is given to a project or initiative that best exemplifies the characteristics of innovation, futuristic ideas and creative initiatives.
Eidem Homestead currently consists of 19 acres and two complete farmsteads. In November 2017, city staff started working on a ten-year master plan for the site. The plan will include the development of a mission and vision statement for the site, an interpretation plan for programs and a facility development plan. The new plan will ensure existing and future programming meets our larger goals and works together to accomplish our mission.

Tim the Recycling Manager shows us why reusing is better than recycling
What happens to your recycling after it gets picked up? Recycling Manager Tim takes us to what is called a Materials Recovery Facility where the paper and containers we mixed in our cart get sorted back out into their individual categories.
Natural things such as food scraps want to break down and return to dirt. And we should be doing what we can to help. It's called organics recycling.
Recycling Manager Tim is on the go and he's looking for ways to make it easier to recycle.

Three Stages of Colonialism:
1) Monopoly Trade and Revenue Appropriation: What was the approach of the EIC during this time period? If it was a trading company, why did it have to fight wars? How influential was the strong "navy" it command? Who funded the amount of money required for raising armies, navies and maintaining forts and trading posts? How do you link expansion to this – was it imperative in order to be able to gain more taxes?
How do we trace the Impact of British Capitalism in India? Can we say that British capitalism was developing, and in order to invest in industries, trade and agriculture, plunder from the colonies was required? Is it correct to say that this was fulfilled when the East India Company acquired direct control over the state revenues of the conquered areas, and was in a position to grab the accumulated wealth of the local rulers? How was such wealth utilised?
• What kind of link can you draw between its growing political power and its acquisition of monopolistic control over Indian trade and production?
• What kind of changes were made in the administration, the judicial system, transport, roduction, and in the educational and intellectual fields, if any?
• Was there a change in the traditional machinery of revenue collection (can you link it to the success with which economic surplus was appropriated then)?
2) Is there a link between the industrial revolution in Britain and the acquisition of territorial power by the EIC in terms of change in aspirations? What were the changes that were taking place in England at that time? Was there an increase in production – what happened to the markets? What was the net effect of all these?
Did this capitalist class require foreign outlets for the ever-increasing output of manufactured goods? How do you balance this with the fact that those same industries needed raw materials in order to produce? Can we therefore, justifiably, say that India fulfilled the role of a subordinate trading partner, a market to be exploited, and a dependent colony to produce and supply the raw materials?
What kind of export was happening at that time in both Britain and India? Did this lead to any kind of economic, political and cultural change?
Answering the previous question in brief:
a) Economic – British capitalists were given free entry into India. Free trade was introduced and tariffs for incoming goods were abolished. Administration was expanded, reaching the smaller villages so that the British goods could reach there, and the raw materials could be drawn out.
b) Legal – The sanctity of contract had to be introduced, and laws had to be made more certain. Hence, codification took place.
c) Education – Due to the expansion of the administration and the judiciary, there was a shortage of manpower. Hence, modern education was introduced to train the Indians.
d) Transport – The large scale imports and exports needed transport of bulky raw materials. Hence, riverways and railways were developed, as were the postal and telegraph systems.
e) Political – Due to the emergence of the liberal imperialist political ideology in the metropolis, it was believed that Britain could carry on exploitation equally well with independent nations as long as free trade prevailed. Therefore, talk of training Indians for self-government was heard.
Who all were affected by such changes? Were the changes successful? What kind of repercussions did it cause in society?
3) Foreign Investment and International Competition for Colonies: Is it justifiable to say that due to industrialisation in the rest of Europe and a consequent competition for markets, technological developments such as electricity, steel production etc. and a consequent acceleration of industrial production as well as need for greater raw materials and population expansion, and accumulation of capital in the metropolis, British policy underwent a change? How would you respond to it?
How do we contextualise Britain's continuing interest in India in the light of the race for colonies? Can we say that India served as an important base for further expansion, and the "Indian" army was the chief instrument to achieve that end? Is it in keeping with the above to say that the aim, therefore, changed from "training Indians for self-government" to "benevolent despotism", and "permanent trusteeship."?

Today I did it: I registered for a big 10K run held in our city each year.
I started running last July and have managed to keep it up, although over the worst parts of winter I slid a bit in my endurance due to too many missed runs. I have started up again in earnest in preparation for this 10K run, which is to take place on April 19.
It's perhaps an interesting observation that I am less concerned about doing the run than I am about getting my sorry butt out of bed early enough to make it downtown by 9 am on a Sunday!

To complement this week's ice cream post, I bring to you some two-ingredient ice cream (and no it doesn't include bananas!). I will definitely be trying this ice cream this summer as soon as the weather gets with the program and remembers that it's supposed to be providing us with warm weather (it's freezing here in Toronto today). Until then, here are the links I clicked this week. And if you're in Canada have a great long weekend!

I've wanted to like a Crossovers toy. I've tried. I even went so far as to get the Millennium Falcon that "transformed" into Han Solo and Chewbacca. By "transformed into", I mean to say the pieces of the ship were split in half and then spread across two rough approximations of humanoid-ish figures whose heads were then made to almost resemble Han Solo and Chewbacca's heads if you had been drinking heavily, and were mostly blind. I piled the whole mess back into its box and returned it to the store immediately, glaring at the lady that processed my refund as if she had personally slighted me by allowing this travesty to be sold in the first place. I haven't gone within a foot of the Crossovers side of the aisle since then.
Because my nostalgic love for the Star Wars Bounty Hunter Boba Fett, coupled with a half-off price, was stronger than my common sense, I recently purchased him. True to the rest of the Transformers/Star Wars Crossovers I have seen online, his vehicle mode is pretty much spot on and doesn't show any outward signs of transforming into a robot.
Then I transformed him. This strict adherence to these iconic Star Wars vehicle modes comes with a price. A very steep price. By giving the designer no leeway whatsoever, there is absolutely no way of creating anything other than a blocking, misshapen inarticulate rough approximation of a humanoid figure. The one thing Boba Fett has going for him over my previous experience is that his head is already a robot-like helmet, and faithfully reproduced here. The rest of him, however, is a matchstick legged, pot-bellied eyesore with balance issues. Oh yeah, and Designing Women's Julia Sugarbaker called, she would like her shoulder poufs back.
Oh well, next time I should just trust my instincts. It could be worse, I could have bought one of the Marvel Crossovers Transformers. Pointless vehicle mode and a horribly bad robot mode? Oof.

Making the most of a couple of hours free time while my son attended a friends birthday party, I came across Campbell Park, Milton Keynes with the sun low in the sky, casting lovely long shadows from a near cloudless sky. Having never been there before, and with a need to get back into my creative photography, my eyes were scanning for any opportunities. The final shot (and the first one in this post) was THE one, with my 300mm lens at full length, and a perfect pose and shadow on the pyramid. I went home happy!

A finished imagination piece. I'm not a cat person, so I really don't know how to draw them. The fish are huge in proportion to the cat. Oh well, it was just a piece for fun. I'd like to paint more lily pads. They're fascinating.

In Process
I love to see other artists' works in process, so I'm posting one of mine. This is just a little fun piece from my imagination that I've been contemplating for a while. I started drawing it several weeks ago, and decided to start painting on this lazy Sunday afternoon. I want to do more of these kinds of pieces just for fun. I think they'll fall under a category called "Can't Possibly Get This Wrong." I think I'll call this piece "Self Control."

Another easy destination from London is Poland. British Airways will get you to Warsaw Chopin airport (closest to the city centre; a 30-minute bus ride) in 2.5 hours and once there, just let the fun begin.
Warsaw is a city with a beautiful new old town centre, lots of history and amazing food. It can get a bit cold though so make sure you put on a couple more layers.
I have summarised my favourite destinations in Warsaw in the sketchnote below including places to see, best restaurants in town to try local cuisine and my favourite shot recipe!
PS) Also I paid 4 pounds for 8 shots!

- Due to changes in the debugger, old state files will not work with this release.
- Fixed bug in sound restructuring introduced in the last release; in some cases, there could be some sound 'crackling' when starting a ROM after at least one ROM had already been loaded.
- Several significant improvements to the debugger I/O tab:
- added controller input widgets for many of the built-in controllers, allowing to control joysticks, paddles, etc from within the debugger.
- added ability to modify the SWCHB/SWBCNT port B registers.
- added ability to view TIA INPTx and VBLANK latch/dump bits.
- Reworked 'mcontrol' argument, and added ability to map the mouse axes separately for paddles 0-3 or driving controllers 0-1. In such modes, the left mouse button is tied to the x-axis, and the right button is tied to the y-axis.
- Mouse 'specific-axis' mode is now saved per-ROM, meaning that each ROM can have separate settings. For example, this allows one ROM to use paddles 0 and 1, while another can use paddles 0 and 2, etc.
- The key-combo for switching the mouse between controller modes is now 'Control-0' (Control-1,2,3 have been removed). This switches between all possible modes for the current virtual controllers.
- Fixed bug in 'Fixed Debug Colors' mode; under certain circumstances, playfield graphics could be coloured as being player graphics.
- Fixed bug in PAL color-loss setting in Video Settings; changing the settings wouldn't take effect until the ROM was reloaded.
- Fixed bugs with cheatcode handling; loading a ROM with a cheat disabled would sometimes trash the emulation. More work is required in this area, including the ability to create more advanced types of cheats.
- Updated ROM properties database for all Sega Genesis controller compatible ROMs. Also, the mouse can now emulate a Genesis controller, with the left/right buttons mapped to buttons B and C, respectively.
- Added 'FA2' bankswitch scheme, thanks to code from Chris D. Walton. This scheme will be used in an upcoming 'Star Castle' ROM.
- Updated internal ROM properties database to ROM-Hunter version 7 (thanks go to RomHunter for his tireless research in this area).
- Added several PERL tools to help in automation of analyzing RomHunter ROM set releases.
- Fixed compile issues in Irix when using the default compiler instead of gcc. Thanks go to Rainer M. Canavan for this code.
- Updated included PNG library to latest stable version.

Civil Rights lawyers self-identifying as "non-partisan democrats" saw me blogging at the Civil Rights Commission's conference on the "Future of Civil Rights" and approached to dish about the future of the Commission.
The conference opens with a series of panels on Family. Family as an institution, the foundation for civilization. By focusing on the family unit, the right-leaning Commission leadership aims to individualize the effort to get "minority" kids on their feet.
Opponents complain that family isn't the answer at all. These little-d's complain that the scope of the conference is way too narrow. Education, they claim, will make the difference. Yet the educators railing for the family state that education is just another area that will thrive if the family unit thrives.
Here is the gist of the "education" portion of the conference:
Black children's statistical failure in educational institutions parallels a shift from industrial technology (mechanized physical work) to informational technology (which organize what we think about). This moves us towards a knowledge economy and the era of critical thinking. To compete in this brave new world, we must educate our kids towards this new approach to information.
The more interesting stilt to this conference is the fact that we're still talking about a black/white divide. Not only Hispanic person has spoken today. No one has mentioned immigration. Were this 1971 the panels would sound substantially the same as they sound today. We are looking at the past of Civil Rights.

Weekend Report
Yes it is Tuesday but I thought I would recap my weekend activities.
Friday night I got home and was tired from my 4 hours of sleep I got before and after watching the Royal Wedding. (I slept 2.5 hours before it started and 1.5 hours after it ended). When I got home of course I had to recap the entire thing for my sister and proceed to watch E!, Access Hollywood, and Entertainment Tonight for their recaps. Then I started watching 20/20 and Dateline's Royal Wedding reviews. I tried to make it up to watch Blue Bloods at 10 but I just couldn't last (I know I'm so old).
Saturday, my sister and I went to see Fast Five but first we ate lunch at Five Guys. (I guess five was the number of the day?) It was the first time we had ever eaten then and it was so good. Seriously one of the best burgers I've ever eaten in my life. A big plus for them was that they had Cherry Coke, my fav! I really liked the movie. The whole Fast & Furious series are really the only "action" type movies I watch and really I only go see them because of Paul Walker. But no it was actually a good movie with a little bit of everything in it. I feel there were more "emotional" scenes than in the previous movies which is weird since I'm pretty sure the movie's target audience is male. I really recommend it but if you aren't familiar with the series I would say at least watch the 4th one before you see this one. Also stay through the credits because there's an extra scene they show. The majority of the people in our theater had already left but we stayed because we wanted to hear the song that was playing and I'm so glad we stayed.
Since it was so nice outside I decided to take my books and read in the backyard. I finished up Bitter is the New Black and started Something Borrowed. I liked Bitter is the New Black but I think I liked Pretty in Plaid more. I really like Something Borrowed so far. I read half of it Saturday (you girls are right when you say it is a fast read) but I haven't had time since then to read anymore. I want to finish it by this weekend so I can see the movie.
Sunday, my mom and I went to church and I was actually surprised that there weren't more people there. They did start the donuts and coffee after mass which they do when the weather is nice. My sister and her kids go to the 12:15 mass (my mom and I go to 9:15) and they have been waiting for the donuts but I keep telling them that there aren't going to be donuts after that mass because it's so late. Really after a 12:15 mass people are going to be eating donuts? I don't think so Sis.
After church, I was super tired since I didn't sleep very much the night before but one of my oldest friends and I had made plans to go to this Beer & Wine Festival. I was kinda hoping he would call and say he couldn't make it because I was sleepy but he didn't. It was a lot of fun because he hadn't seen each other in soooo long. When we purchased our glasses for the tasting we got one beer and one wine and the girl put the wine glass in front of me and the beer glass in front of him when actually I was drinking the beer and he was drinking the wine. It was warm out and cold beer sounded more refreshing to me. It was fun and I tried a lot of good beers. There was this peach champagne there that was amazing.
When I got home at 5 I was tired, hungry, sunburned, and a little buzzed so I crawled into bed and slept for 2.5 hours. I woke ate some dinner and then turned on the tv to watch the Amazing Race but instead the news was on telling me Osama Bin Laden was killed. I do think that's great and everything and I don't want to sound like a pessimist but I am just concerned what killing him means for the future. If we've done this are there others ready to avenge his death and is there somebody out there in that organization that has the power to replace him? I understand what it means to have taken him down but I would rest assured more if I knew the whole organization was demolished. I don't like to get too political because I feel everybody is entitled to their own opinion but I feel it is unfortunate that we have to make this victory into a partisan thing. Why must it be Obama or Bush? Why can't it just be America? The men and women serving this country are the ones we should be grateful to.
Since the news broke early enough (thank you?) at 9 the networks went back to their regularly scheduled programming but CBS being the geniuses that they are played the Amazing Race at 9 for all of us who were waiting for it at 8. The only problem with this is that Celebrity Apprentice was at the same time. I had to give preference to Amazing Race. I'm sad there is only one more episode of this season left. I missed the whole Nene vs Star fight on Celebrity Apprentice so I have to go back and watch that online. But the upcoming weeks look good. What's up with LaToya coming back? (Sorry if you haven't watched the episode yet)
I hope everybody enjoyed there weekend and is having a good week so far.

Sounds like a great weekend! I'm glad we share a Royal Wedding obsession ;) I want to see Fast Five! But I'm going to see Something Borrowed first! Seriously my favorite book! I'm glad you're reading it! I've never been to 5 Guys, I need to try it! Happy Wednesday! XOXO

It sounds like you had a busy, but wonderful weekend. The Beer & Wine Festival sounds like fun, especially the peach champagne. I was so bummed to be on vacation during the Royal Wedding coverage, but I'm excited to catch up on everything now that I'm home.

I can't believe it's already time for the Amazing Race finale! Who do you think will win? Zev & Justin have really stepped up. I'm rooting for the Globetrotters...but I'm so sad the cowboys are gone :(

When Livy is accepted at Temple College – a school for the very brightest, and the oldest in London – no one is more surprised than she is. Though she's always felt different, she doesn't seem to quite fit in at Temple College, either.
Recently, Livy has become more and more drawn to the roof of the school, climbing fearlessly among its towering stone angels, where she can be alone, and has the strangest desire to fly. But her behaviour has been noticed by others, for whom the ability to defy gravity is magic which could be a possible reality… and involves a secret they'll do anything to discover.
Five years after the release of her much-lauded children's fiction début The Wolf Princess, Cathryn Constable follows up with a novel full of things to like: mysterious adventures, crumbling but atmospheric old buildings, hints of potions, concoctions and alchemy, tantalising tendrils of magic. Plain, uncomplicated prose accommodates moments of wonder and almost lyrical description – and perhaps could have accommodated a little more of it – in a story which unfolds like the ripple of billowing fabric in the wind.
Thrust into a school where stone Sentinels perch on the roof and the history of its founder seems to lurk wherever she goes, Livy is struggling to fit in and deal with the loss of her childhood best friend. The timelessness of traditional school stories, embodied here by the centuries-old Temple College with its stiff uniforms, stained glass windows and soaring towers, is tempered by the occasional nod to modernity and, more successfully, the presence of Livy's family, especially little brother Tom. Constable's skill works best when displaying Livy's explorations, Tom's boundless energy and one of the mysterious relics of Temple College's eerie past.
Constable tackles some fairly serious themes in the book, but unfortunately there's not quite enough time spent on the most pressing of them to say they've been adequately explored. As ever with novels aimed solidly in the middle of the children's fiction section, the characters aren't exactly realistic (including the secondary cast of children themselves), but then that's not the point. I'd recommend Katherine Rundell's Rooftoppers more readily, but there are plenty of discoveries, secrets and flights of fancy to fill the adventure.
Fans of Katherine Rundell's Rooftoppers and Kiran Millwood Hargrave's The Girl of Ink and Stars will find atmospheric though not ground-breaking fare with Cathryn Constable's The White Tower. Straightforward and, at its best, suitably elegant.

Luke Mountfathom is the son of Lord and Lady Mountfathom, keepers of a great House where the wrong door could take you to a far away land and strange animals appear to stalk the grounds at midnight. The house is his home – but it is also the headquarters of the Driochta, a magic-weaving group of poets, artists, politicians and activists charged with keeping the peace across the land. They have many powers – have mastered Mirror-Predicting and Smoke-Summoning and Storm-Breaching – and a final ability: that of Mogrifying; taking on a unique animal form.
But Luke's idyllic existence at Mountfathom appears in danger. Word reaches them of a people with a wish for independence, a rising discontent and scenes of violence that even the Driochta cannot control. But what seems like a quest for freedom involves a greater darkness than the rebels can know – and it draws Luke's irretrievably into the fight. And when things quickly spin out of control for the Driochta, it is up to Luke, his cat Morrigan and his best friend Killian to worm out the heart of the evil in their land.
For fans of Debi Gliori, Dave Rudden and Moira Fowley-Doyle, The House of Mountfathom is as eclectic as such a multifarious description would suggest: its melting pot of magical realism, historical fiction and action adventure is close to boiling over, it's so stuffed. It's got spells, shapeshifters, soldiers, servants, poets, priceless treasures, tradition, rebellion, wallpaper that comes alive, orchards, inexplicable powers, political tensions, class struggle, and room upon room of strange and wondrous workings. All that's missing is the kitchen sink, and even then I'm sure Mountfathom has one somewhere.
The novel is populated by a vast array of characters, naturally named things like Findlater and Vane-Temple, theirs is an eccentricity in keeping with the most bizarre elements of the world concocted around them. The book never lingers too long on any of them which leaves some a little flat – the most interesting, like Lord and Lady Mountfathom, seem like they have oodles more to add than Luke's viewpoint allows for. By far the most striking feature of the book, however, is the writing style. Its distinctive, choppy prose is forceful but evocative: jewel-like visuals and precise metaphors lurk in lopped off sentences and juddering lists. This may wear a little thin after fifty pages or so and a rather confusing narrative will occasionally not so much challenge readers as baffle them – more focused description and fewer jumpy paragraphs would give the storytelling a necessary steadying – but the story is strong.
The addition of historical fiction has some mixed results: on the one hand it's a unique and bold decision, but on the other it can be a little jarring when the transition doesn't quite work. However, this unusually complex pursuit of the genre – for example the fact that the Mountfathoms are aristocracy occupying a complicated position in historical events – is emblematic of an ability, aided by flashes of humour and lightning-quick points of reference, to appeal to an audience of children and adults alike.
The final novel by late writer Nigel McDowell, The House of Mountfathom's shines best in its playful use of magic and wonder. It deploys magic spells and creations with reckless abandon. The impossible lopes about the House and its rolling grounds with the self-assured freedom of pure childlike imagination. There are streaks of dark to the book's villains and themes, but it's the fantastic and strange that the young fan will re-read this book for.
An inventive and sometimes dark caper told in playful, idiosyncratic language, The House of Mountfathom is a vivid children's novel, overflowing with magic and the fantastic. Pacy and chaotic, its meld of magical-realism-historical-adventure can seem a little overbusy, but has moments of real punch.

S Corporation CPAs field calls on Form 8825 logistics. A common topic is the 1120-S Schedule K-1 that reports the rental property activity from Form 8825. So here's some background and a few tips I've learned.
Federal tax Form 1120-S, US Income Tax Return for an S Corporation
Form 1120-S includes Form 8825 and Schedule K-1. So let's say:
- You're a real estate agent operating or electing to be taxed as an S Corporation.
- The same S Corporation owns some rental property.
- All your real estate agent transactions go on federal tax Form 1120-S.
- Your rental property activity goes on Form 8825 which becomes part of your S Corporation's federal tax form 1120-S.
- If you only have rental property activity in the LLC or S Corporation, most of Form 1120-S is blank except for Form 8825.
Federal tax Form 8825, Rental Real Estate Income and Expenses of a Partnership or an S Corporation
Form 8825 attaches to your annual Form 1120-S.
Federal tax Form Schedule K-1 – Shareholder's Share of Current Year Income, Deductions, Credits, Other Items
Schedule K-1 reports the tax information in Form 1120-2 to the Shareholders. Lots of little quirks here about what goes where. The reporting of information from Form 8825 is one such quirk.
- The ordinary income from your real estate agent activity flows into Line 1 of Part III of Schedule K-1, Ordinary Business income (loss).
- The rental property income from your rental real estate property flows into Line 2 of Part III of Schedule K-1, Net rental real estate income (loss).
It seems that most tax software reports both the ordinary income and the rental property activity, from Form 8825, on a single Schedule K-1. But the IRS doesn't like that. I think most rental property CPAs take the single Schedule K-1 the software generates and use it to report ordinary income and associated items. So Line 2 of Schedule K-1 is blank. Then we create a second Schedule K-1 within the software to report rental property activity on Line 2.
"You're personally taxed on the financial info contained in federal tax form Schedule K-1. It's prudent to check it carefully."
– Gary Bode, S Corporation CPA and rental property accountant
Federal tax Form 1120-S has plenty of quirks. But I find most S Corporation clients understand it. And of course I answer any questions they might have. Most Landlords understand federal tax form 8825. But Schedule K-1 is different. The allocation of income and rental property activity to the Shareholders is only one issue. Have your S Corporation CPA explain Schedule K-1 if you don't understand it. Why? The S Corporation is a pass through entity; Schedule K-1 contains the information the IRS taxes you on when it flows into Form 1040.
Our virtual office can handle your S Corporation's Form 1120-S, Form 8825 and Schedule K-1 regardless of where you live.
I'm a rental property CPA and run my practice as an S Corporation. There's rental property in my extended family. So I keep up on current issues with S Corporations and rental property. For a free phone consult call (910) 399-2705.

Then delivered it to the party and set up at least 200 cupcakes:
(There were still at least 200 under the table at this point) Then we came home and I finished this cake:
Currently Jack is doing this:
Don't you love the hand in the pants? He sleeps like that almost every night. My little angel deserves another Jack day, maybe we'll get to Disney Sea soon. He is certainly not the most well behaved two-year-old but he blesses me with the time to do a hobby I love and in turn might become a baker himself. When I am working on cake he takes miscellaneous household items and food and stacks them on his play dishes. He brings them to me and says, "look mama this is my cake, it's delicious". He pretends to eat it and says, "mmmm yummy". Any time I am in the kitchen these days he grabs the stool and says, "mama I want to help you". He is quite the little helper. He helped me unwrap 100 rolo candies for the cupcakes I made (and he didn't try to eat any! Unfortunately, when I am working with fondant I have to watch him closely because he eats fondant like Will Ferrell eats cotton balls in the movie Elf. If I turn my back I will hear, "oooooh these flowers taste good". Day 4 was busy busy busy and Day 5 is the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Yokohama.

No, Californians Still Don't Realize How Badly They've Stepped in It
Robert J. Cristiano's piece at New Geography gives a nice snapshot at the decline and pending fall of the once great state of California. In short, take the prosperity, open spaces, and renowned public education system of the 60s, add draconian environmental and developmental regulations, a defense bubble, a tech bubble, a housing bubble—and spendthrift, bubble-loving legislators cranking up the one-way entitlement-spending ratchet with each iteration—and heap on a generous helping of public employee pension disease, and you've got the current California train wreck.
Those who don't live in California might be wondering, do Californians understand the mess they're in? The answer: Clearly not. For example, down here in Southern California (we capitalize the "S" in "Southern" because our inanity is so distinctly our own) the counter-productive diversion du jour is throwing supergraphics proprietors in jail. The LA City Attorney, Carmen "Nuch" Trutanich—my former boss during law school—has filed a lawsuit against 27 defendants in a war against the $7 billion supergraphics industry, which involves the displaying of large ads on the sides of buildings in and around Hollywood. In the current economic climate, some cities might balk at the notion of obliterating that much economic activity and the tax revenue generated from it. But LA is a uniquely and bizarrely principled place. For some odd reason, Nuch has been dutifully working to get ads torn down in time for the Academy Awards. Most (in)famously, Nuch strategically threw one building owner in jail over an entire weekend, finding a judge willing to set bail at $1 million. For displaying an ad on his own building. Seriously.
The hostility to such a lucrative industry is puzzling.
Of course, many LA-la-landers applaud these efforts as a long-awaited crackdown on a serious "blight" to their community. A blight to the community? Down in Orange County, we call LA a blight to the community. These things are relative. Nuisance law has a doctrine called "coming to the nuisance," which says that if you knowingly purchase property next to a smokestack, you are estopped from complaining about the smoke. In the same way, how does one voluntarily take up residence in Los Angeles and complain about overexposure to media and advertisements? Irony of this magnitude causes reverberations in the brain that can do serious damage to the psyche.
Then again, these things also are relative, as one must ostensibly already suffer some psychic damage to set up shop in LA.
Or, these days, anywhere in California.

Before anyone jumps to any unsavory conclusions about the man in question, this is not his fault.
…unless you're blaming him for the fact that I like him, in which case, what a bastard.
But short of that, this is mostly down to me, and perhaps a little bit of the blame also lies on the men who came before. Oh, and absurd gender roles that society has forced on us.
…unless you're blaming him for the fact that I like him, in which case, what a bastard.
But short of that, this is mostly down to me, and perhaps a little bit of the blame also lies on the men who came before. Oh, and absurd gender roles that society has forced on us.
You see, after that oh-so-charming first date with Mr. Charming, I found myself in unfamiliar territory. I was stuck waiting around to see if he would ask me out a second time. This might sound incredibly arrogant, but the truth is I haven't been in this situation very often. Most of the time, as you're well aware, I feel lukewarm at best about a first date. It is a rare occasion that I go beyond a second date with someone. The select instances that I have, I've been sucked headfirst into a hurricane.
For the record, this nearly always turns out to be a mistake. The primary examples are the infamous Misters Manipulation & Mess. Here's an overview:
Mr. Manipulation asked me out on about four dates within the first five days that I knew him. Part of this was inspired by the fact that my schedule that month meant I wouldn't have a chance to see him again for another two weeks. I was flattered and felt pursued and desired, a feeling I was (whether you believe me or not) almost entirely unfamiliar with. My head got turned. By the time I got home from 14 days of nearly non-stop travel, he immediately asked me to be his girlfriend. I was taken aback and hesitated, as I hadn't been expecting this so soon. When he saw me falter, he started to withdraw the offer. "I'm not going to ask again," he said. I immediately played into his hand and accepted, fool that I was.
The situation here boiled down to two things, in my opinion. He did not like that while I had been away, we were non-exclusive, and that I had a right to do whatever I wanted with whomever I wanted. Not that he'd had anything to be worried about—I'm a one-at-a-time kind of dater—but I have no doubt he was anxious to exercise that control over me. The second reason is that Mr. Manipulation was eager not to have to work at wooing me anymore. So far as I can tell, he believed that once we were in a relationship, he no longer had to put any effort into winning me over or making me happy. As his girlfriend, it was my responsibility to be at his beck-and-call and to please him.
Mr. Mess, on the other hand, was never meant to be a serious relationship. I had known him for about 7 months when we started spending real time together, and the wheels were already in motion for my move to Chicago. With the pre-existing comfort of already knowing one another, we easily fell into what was meant to be a summer fling. I intended to enjoy some quality company before I kicked South Florida's sand off my flip-flops, and I didn't see a point in playing coy or hard-to-get since time was limited.
In retrospect, had I known that we would make an attempt—however brief—at a long-distance relationship, I would have proceeded with more caution. Though he treated me with a kindness I was no longer accustomed to, Mr. Mess had some serious issues, including a tendency for depression and a crippling fear of failure. I was vulnerable after Mr. Manipulation's mistreatment, and I overlooked these things until inevitably they blew up in my face.
So rationally I know it's a good thing that most things with Mr. Charming are going at a more leisurely pace.
But it's been a really long time since I've been in this position, constantly checking my phone à la Gigi in He's Just Not That Into You, because somewhere along the way society made up the rules that the woman has to play at aloofness or risk being seen as forward or desperate or, God forbid, attainable. Stupid, of course, but still a reality.
My friend Clive does not understand this. Apparently, for gay men, the so-called rules are entirely different, and he spent the entire third day yelling at me.
"Just text him, for God's sake!"
"Just text him, for God's sake!"
Which, to be fair, I already had. After the Minty-Fresh Date, Mr. Charming said I should let him know how my trip was going for work. And I did. Twice. And he texted me back. And we flirted a tiny bit. And then the conversation fizzled out both times, so I decided I should let him reach out to me next.
And so three days of agony passed. Three days of my roommates and Clive all being absolutely beyond fed-up with me whining about why he hadn't messaged me and how he must not have been as interested as I had thought he was.
Then, one hour from the exact moment that I had given up on him, Mr. Charming asked me on date #2.
Aaaaaaaand then it all repeated itself for date #3. After which I realized I have got to calm the fuck down and stop convincing myself that if I haven't heard from him yet, it means he's out.
For starters, if he does lose interest, so what? Yeah, I like him, but life goes on and plenty of fish in the sea blah blah blah whatever.
Second, he has given me every reason to believe he is interested, and this thing that's happening where a few days pass and then he decides to ask me out again, that is normal. This whole thing is completely normal and I really, really need to get a grip. I'm almost ashamed of the amount of time I have spent fretting over whether or not my company is actually desirable.
Considering that I find confidence to be one of the sexiest traits in a man, I think I need to tell my own insecurities to take a hike. After all, if I wouldn't want to date me, then why on earth should I expect anyone else to?

A Tren hormone that exists in human grade form is called as the Parabolan. It was prescribed for the cases of malnutrition. It was also used to treat osteoporosis and cachexia. Parabolan is similar to most popular Trenbolon acetate. The only difference with the compound is the ester attached. This is the most effective and powerful supplements that carries tremendous versatility. This compound has the proof of being the most essential medicine in the world of PEDs.
The supplement is officially known as TrenboloneHexahydrobenzylcarbonate. The structure of this compound is slightly altered from Nandrolone. The compound is an anabolic supplement that has numerous common medicinal traits that are associated with anabolic power. Much of the traits are far more powerful than any other anabolic supplements. It enhances protein synthesis and nitrogen retention in the body muscles than the other supplements. Proteins are the building blocks of muscles. Thus it is important to enhance it which promotes total anabolic atmosphere within the body.
Benefits from this PED
The most amazing Tren Hex benefit is its ability to increase the amount of nutrients from the food that you eat daily. This is the only reason why Tren was used in the use of cattle. Every gram of the protein and carbohydrate provided by this supplement goes much farther helping to meet the desired look. Its high androgenic effects cause increased muscle strength with faster growth. Like other PEDs it burns calories and eliminates the fat cells but in a much faster rate.
It has the quality of increasing stamina level in the human body. It does work like estrogen. That is, the medicine does not burn the muscle cells that you have crafted after much intense workout. It only works upon the fat cells. The structure of the compound is so powerful that it requires much lower dosage compared to other PEDs. You may find Trenbolone in the oral form, but it is recommended to use the injectable form to get the supreme results.
Prescribed cycle for the power booster
As you already know after reading the previous paragraphs that Tren Hex is very versatile, you can use it for bodybuilding and dieting without losing the efficacy. This enhancer can be stacked easily with other supplements like Winstrol to get a synergistic effect. The cycle must last from eight to twelve weeks. Every single cycle of this enhancer must be strictly followed by post cycle therapy (PCT). This comes to necessity because it helps to cure any kind of damage caused during the on cycle process.
The deduction of the post cycle therapy may result in loss of the muscle gains that you have made during the cycle period. In some cases it may permanently shut down the androgen production system. Whether an individual is cutting or bulking most of the time he/she starts taking the medicine every week. For the veterans it is advisable to get injected every day.

Sue's Sweet 16 party is a sleep over with her posse. Sue is behind the birthday cake and Im the girl with the short blonde hair and those lovely plaid shorts. And of course, Most of us are barefooted... We are Montana girls afterall!
When I was around 15 years old a new family moved into my neighborhood. Up until that time, I was the only girl living on Mount Ave (Target Range area) in Missoula, Montana. I was so happy that Sue Wallace moved next door. We became friends right away. She soon became my best friend. We did so much together. We slept at each others houses all the time. We talked on the phone for hours. I was a year older so I got my car first. With a car... we had so much more to do. We lived in a rural area and a car was a necessity and it was like a right of passage. The best part of our weekends was taking a car full of girls (4 in the car and 3 in the trunk) to the Go West Drive-In and flirting with all the boys or putting miles and miles on the car driving up and down Higgins Ave (the drag) flirting with the boys. We sneaked booze from our parents cabinets. I dont know why we picked the Everclear and Dry Vermouth? We also experimented with Winstons and would skinny dipped very late at night. I was honored to be a bridesmaid in her wedding and she was maid of honor in mine. We loved each others babies like they were are own. So many of my girlhood and young adult memories were made with my bestest girlfriend. Thank you Sue for moving into my neighborhood and thank you for the picture that brought up so many memories.

Yes, I meant to write "scarred" in the title of this post, not scared... And it turned out to be a good thing.
I discovered this Friday night when we had some new friends over for dinner. As I was talking to one of them, we began discussing what we do... he's a professional musician and I write fiction. Upon discovering that I write, he asked me which authors have influenced me, and I immediately threw out Stephen King.
That actually gave me pause. I hadn't read King in a long while, so to name him threw me off there for a second or two. I then explained to him that King's older stuff scared the stuffing out me when I was younger and I'll just never forget his stories. The novel IT, in particular, scarred me in the sense that I'll never ever, ever, EVER look at a clown without suspicion.
When I read that book, I was about 12-years-old and staying with elderly relatives in a rural town in Colorado. My parents didn't join me on that trip--just my grandmother, as they were her sister and brother-in-law. Their 90-year-old house creaked all night long and boasted the darkest basement in the US. If you've read King's book, then you might remember Bill's little brother, Georgie, has to go down into their creepy and dark basement to fetch something for Bill. And in this old house in Colorado, I'd decided to read IT... at 12-years-old.
Yes, it totally freaked me out. (I'm sure you've already figured that out! LOL)
But, heck if I could stop reading! That's the power of storytelling and I'll never forget the entire experience associated with immersing myself in that frightening novel. And obviously, it moved me enough to name King as one the reasons I write today.
How about you? Which authors influenced you... Any that you've recently discovered? Or ones that you'd read in your childhood? I'd love to hear your stories! :)
Take Care,

Power of Storytelling. And How Stephen King's IT Scarred Me.

Home Cooking
I had never really cooked with duck before but I was pretty excited to break the seal with the duck breasts I received from Game Farm. After considering and tossing many recipes from my vast collection of cookbooks, I went with a recipe on the Game Farm website for "Duck and Shitake fresh spring rolls".
I modified the recipe a bit but the general idea is there. As always with things like wraps, rolls etc, the components can be anything you like.
These are really easy to make. The duck breasts are the most challenging part but if you stuff them up (as I did), it doesn't really matter because they get wrapped up anyway.
I also did a little stir-fried sweet soy shitake mushroom filling and cut up some cucumbers and spring onions. Easy as. If you've never wrapped rice paper rolls, you might need a wee bit of practice.
Peking Duck Rice Paper Rolls
Serves 3-4 as entrees
- 2 duck breast fillets with skin
- 1 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
- salt and pepper
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 150g fresh shitake mushrooms, sliced (I used dried shitake mushrooms revived in hot water)
- 1 tbsp light soy
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/4 cup plum sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon finely grated ginger
- 50g dried rice vermicelli noodles
- 10 x 16cm diameter rice paper rounds
- 1/2 cup coriander leaves
- 1-2 lebanese cucumbers, seed removed and cut into long strips
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
2. Sprinkle the duck skin with the five-spice, salt and pepper.
3. Heat a medium non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add the duck skin-side down and cook for 3–4 minutes each side or until browned. Transfer to the oven and cook for a further 5–8 minutes or until cooked through. (I found that the duck skin started burning on high heat so I recommend a lower heat setting to help render the fat out before transferring to the oven).4. Allow the duck to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.5. Meanwhile, saute the mushrooms in the same pan with the sesame oil, soy sauce and sugar for around 3min. Set aside.6. For the sauce, combine the plum sauce, vinegar and ginger in a small bowl and set aside.7. Place the rice noodles in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Allow to stand for 6–8 minutes or until soft. Drain and set aside.
8. I like to serve all the components of the rice paper rolls separately at the dinner table to allow everyone to roll them up their own way. If you want to have them ready to eat, soften the rice paper rounds in warm water and place on a plate. Add coriander, mushrooms, duck and noodles. You can add the sauce at this point or use it as a dipping sauce. Fold over the ends and roll to enclose the filling.9. Repeat until all the ingredients are used up. Serve immediately.
As I mentioned above, I had trouble cooking the duck breasts. I didn't render the fat out enough and the skin wasn't crispy. Luckily, when wrapped up in the rolls, it wasn't really a problem and the rolls were still delicious.
I like that these are a healthy but impressive dish that can be eaten as an entree or used as party finger-food. It's a nice variation on the usual pork/prawn rolls we find in shops.

Jake is our neighbor. I think he's about 8 years old. Loves cookies and guess who bakes for him. His favorite for the moment is peanut butter. I made a batch and froze them and when he comes over I give him two. He came over last night and informed us that he should get a "few" extra cookies because his family is camping for the month of august and won't see me and reminded me he will be back in September for more !
Luna is mix,and a real good dog. She loved Rip and would look for us and when she saw our trucks she would bolt up the road to play with him. She's just as spoiled as Jake, she gets plenty of dog treats when she visits.

Jake is a real cutie, and so is Divingabe. Wish Luna would have turned around for the picture. Laughed at what Jake told you about the cookies...he knows the way to a woman's heart. Tell Jake that I hope they have a great time on their camping trip, and to make sure his cookie supply is full.ReplyDelete

This past week, my friend Dr. Bret Simmons celebrates his own blog milestone hitting his 5th anniversary (starting the same year as my MaldivesComplete blog). It remains the only Leadership blog that I subscribe to though (like my own blog here) the site has extended into adjacent topics like personal branding, customer service, and social media.
The piece "Forgive and Remember" he posted in September epitomizes our perspective kinship on both the topic of Leadership (and Management) and failure…
- "Any one that needs to know about innovation understands that there is no innovation without failure. Yet even for leaders that give intellectual assent and lip service to this principle, there is often an integrity gap in the alignment of their words and their actions. Bad leaders never admit when they fail, and they make the same mistakes over and over again. Good leaders make failing a learning experience, and create the conditions where it is safe to make new and different mistakes. This healthy approach to handling failure is called forgive and remember. Forgive, so that people are willing to talk about and admit the errors that are inevitable in any human endeavour"
Leaders forgive, Managers remember.
Congratulations on your anniversary, Bret.

"Oi fatty - what you been eating?!" That was pretty much the first thing Shams sister said to him when she visited last week! I put it down to the fact that he has shaved his hair so looks more like a pea head... but Sham then came out of the bathroom to check if the scales were right... and if the tracksuit bottoms and tshirt he was wearing might add a stone to his weight!!
They say weight gain is a sign of contentment... I say weight gain is a sign of too much beer, cheap take aways, a compulsory pie on the way home from a night out and his wife finally learning to make yummy indian food!
It is all balanced out at the moment - we walk a lot due to not having a car, and Sydney is quite hilly so its pretty hard to avoid a cardio workout almost everyday! Sham is also playing football once a week with Arsepool United...the team that is made up of the husbands and boyfriends of my friends. He also manages some golf and even an occasional game of basketball!
I on the other hand, have lost half a stone since we have been here and have developed some muscles in my legs!! My fitness level is still pants, but I am certainly moving more than I have for a long time!
so, we are eating more here, but are also getting more excercise... that can't be bad can it??
Oh, I forgot to mention the British Draw in the kitchen full of goodies B brought us... Wispas, Toffee Crisp, Hula Hoops, Prawn Cocktail crisps.... oh dear!!

Everyone is fond of computer/mobile games, as it is the best way to relax for a little time in your busiest schedules. This helps you to get away from your monotonous life for a while, and drown yourself in the world of gaming, just for a while. One of the most amazing games, which makes you play it again and again in your free time, is Pixel gun 3D. This adventurous and fighting game, is extremely fun to play, and is available both for your PC and smart phone. Here, we tell you more about this game, and also some hacks for your Android smart phone.
This game has its own site, where you can download it from, and also play it for free. This link can be used for the same: https://pixelgun3d.com/. Now what is this game all about? This is a pixel graphic game, where you fight other players, individually or in a team. You have plenty of options for armor and weapons, there being different types of each. You can get stronger and stronger, by buying these weapons and armor, by coins or money.
There are many modes under which you can play the game. There is a death match mode, where you can prove your skills and be the best fighter, to take more challenges. Another mode is the arena mode where you have to survive against the monsters and demons that keep on coming after you to kill you. The more time you stay alive, the higher is the score and more coins you can earn. But, with increasing difficulty it is very difficult to stay alive for a long time, until you are a pro. You can also play multiplayer mode in which you, along with your mates fight against the monsters or even the other players. The game gets more interesting as you keep on playing it, and gets very addictive after some time.
Now, one problem is strengthening your armor and getting the best weapons available. That is not really easy. You have to work real hard in the game, earn a huge score to get coins and then buy the stuff available. But since every problem has a solution of it own, so does this one. One way is to buy the coins. You can go on to the site (mentioned above) and click on Buy Coins option. Follow the procedure and pay a particular amount for some coins. The better option, however, is the hack. For mobile users, there is an app called aptoide (similar to blackmart, but more reliable). This app provides you with modded version of games and other applications for free. Similarly, in this case you can download the Pixel gun 3D hack aptoide version of the game, that helps you have unlimited coins and the best weapons. This will not only enjoy the game a lot more, but will tend to make you the strongest contender.
But, remember one thing. There are cases where you may not be able to play online with the hacked app, since you might get banned. However, there are lot of more hacks available online, with no surveys, that help you get what you want. So, if you haven't yet tried this game, its high time you download it and give it a try.

There are many things to enjoy about this German City, but significant to me, Nuremburg is my first European Castle. Kyla, I told you I saw a castle today, and I think you would have loved it as much as I did. Here's the details I think you will like.
Primarily, a castle is meant to keep those inside the walls safe from attack. A really good castle completely discourages anyone from wanting to try. This was a really good castle.
First of all, it's outer walls are zig-zagged so there's always a good view of anyone coming. There was only one real way into the castle, and it was a fairly narrow, uphill, and with a strong left turn before you came to the first wooden gate. Narrow, so large numbers couldn't easily come in at once. Uphill, because it is difficult to carry a battering ram uphill and around a bend. Left-turning because soldiers held their swords in their right hands and shields in their left, so the pointy side of the soldiers were exposed to the defensive walls, making them open targets with no protection. Then, if anyone made it to and through the wooden gate, they were in this tunnel.
If you look up, you'll see four or five of these in the ceiling, perfect for throwing burning straw, chamber pots, or anything else that might come to mind down upon the intruders below.
If attackers made it past all that, they would find themselves in a smallish courtyard with the tunnel behind them, an iron gate in from of them, and high walls with arrows surrounding them.
Funny, but in the five hundred years or so since it was built, this castle was never attacked. It took 20th century bombs to do some damage, but even then, there will still parts of the castle that were used successfully as bomb shelters.
Remember that Daddy and I have been building walls in our backyard for 11 years? These walls supposedly took just seven. People were "motivated" by the local authority and after one false start, it was quickly built. You can tell which stones are original from the holes drilled in the middle of the rock. They used cranes with pincers to lift the stones, and to keep the rock from slipping a small hole was drilled an inch of so into opposite sides before it was hoisted.
Because the castle was built on high ground, a well had to be awfully deep to reach water. Back in the day, workers had to dig 150feet down—and it took 10 minutes to get one bucket of water up!
One day, we'll take all three of you to see a castle or two. And if Daddy has his way, he'll build one!

january got one final jab in last night when gage woke up at 10:30 puking his guts out. fuck you too, january.
i blame this all on target because i am pretty sure that is where he picked up the croup and the flu that became the bane of my existence in january 2012. it should be illegal to be the kind of asshole that takes their sick kids out of the house to infect everyone else. yes, having sick kids is an inconvenience, but getting other people's kids sick makes you an inconsiderate prick. people should care a lot more about being a prick than they do.
in the last few days chunk has really started to string words together in sentences. this morning she woke up as her alter ego - a kickboxing instructor - and ran around the house going "punch punch kick" and following it up with the appropriate actions. this was surprising to me mostly because gage was in bed so this must have been something she dreamed of last night. dream big, baby - you're can be a kick ass fitness instructor if you really want to. or, you know, just as a hobby.

Wedding and Events Franchise Opportunity For Women
'All About Venues' Wedding and Event Management franchise specifically targets their franchise model for women, and A�their franchisees have been getting some phenomenal results, whilst doing something they love and are passionate about! ( lets face it- who doesn't like planning a A�good party or wedding?)
Why Women Make Great Business Owners
So what is it about women and franchising that has spurred this success and increase in female entrepreneurship? A�Well, skills, interests, and personality traits seem to be playing a key role. Consider the following:
- Women tend to be great organizers, can prioritize well, and have an eye for detail. Characteristics like these are a perfect match for operating a franchise.
- Women often have the ability to think quickly, improvise, and adapt when necessary. Definite strengths when it comes to operating a franchise.
- Women are known to have strong networking and communications skills- imperative for dealing with suppliers and customers.
- Female business owners also tend to be more financially conservative and willing to start small on their way to growing big. This is the kind of business approach and philosophy that is perfect for opening, operating, and growing a franchise.
Successful Women in Franchising
Hanlie Froes- bought her first franchise in March 2014, A�and in her first 6 weeks of business she had her first 5 weddings booked! A�These are exceptional results for the wedding and events industry, yet alone someone who is newly starting in business!
Hanlie said that she was very pleased with the results that she had achieved in the franchise at such an early stage. A�Aside from recouping just under 20% of her franchise outlay in the first 6 weeks, she also managed to secure a A�roof top venue exclusively to represent in her venue portfolio for clients!
Hanlie always had a natural talent and interest in weddings and events, and the franchise system gave her the ability to turn her life long passion into a profitable business quickly.
Factors Stopping Women From Getting Into Business
Many women have successful business traits such as drive, passion, impeccable work ethic and great customer service, A�but they simply just don't have the guts to start their own business.
The fear of failure is often a crippling factor that stops women from living out their passions and going into business.
This is why franchising is a really great option for women wanting to take control of their financial future and become their own boss, as it provides the necessary internal support, guidance and mentoring when they need to become successful.
Franchise chains have earnt their stripes: they are a popular choice for getting into business; as they have trailed and tested business models that are proven to be successful. This gives women the opportunity to A�apply their exceptional work ethic A�to a proven system, to grant their success in business.

By Nick McDaniels – Like most things that have most significantly impacted my teaching, this particular reflection comes from my own experience as a learner.
For the last few months, in between working and parenting, I have been studying for the Maryland Bar Exam, though admittedly not as much as I wish I could. Never before have I prepared for an exam that requires such an expansive knowledge base along with the ability to apply the knowledge. Quite simply, it is so much information that one of the most effective ways to learn it is by attempting to apply knowledge you don't have to situations requiring such knowledge and then filling in the knowledge gaps later.
And one thing I think about most through this whole process, other than how much I do not know and wish I did, is how much this process of learning is going to improve my classroom practice.
To be sure, I have no intentions of throwing 6-hour, 200-question multiple choice tests at my students. But what I am going to emphasize, particularly in the design of my instruction, is having students demonstrate AND acquire knowledge through application, never independently of application.
Quite frankly, who cares what the 4th Amendment says, if you don't understand how it affects a person's rights? Independent of your knowledge of the 4th Amendment, if I asked you whether police should be allowed to bring drug dogs into schools to sniff lockers, what would you say? It doesn't matter, really, what YOU say, because there is a rule that tells you whether such activity is allowed. What does matter is that I have asked you to apply the knowledge you already have to a situation, rightly or wrongly, helping you to understand your own strengths and weaknesses in knowledge and the parameters for its application. Then, when I provide for you the actual rule, whether you knew it or didn't (sniff your little K-9 heart out Rin-Tin-Tin), your ability to apply such knowledge will be more precise.
It sounds obvious. Application is more important than knowledge because one demonstrates the other. But we as teachers so often try to increase the amount of knowledge a student has instead of focusing on whether a student can apply knowledge they have (or don't). This simple shift in thinking, for me at least, is going to change the way I go about instruction.
Honestly, many of my assessments are already ridden with application components, but when I am preparing students for those assessments, I give them knowledge, discuss rules, vocabulary. Then, on exams I give them scenarios and let them apply their knowledge. I have been skipping the step that has been so productive for my own learning, being forced to apply what I do know to something I don't know, so then I know what I need to know and where and when to apply it.
