New Hanover County tax bills only list the rate, amount assessed and balance due. It does not list the square footage.
When New Hanover County resident Edward Brex started the process to refinance his home last summer, he discovered he'd been overpaying in property taxes for more than a decade and he's likely not the only mistake on the county's tax rolls.
Brex discovered that his home was listed at more than 4,000 square feet in the county tax records – a figure distinctly larger than the 2,893 square feet on the original building permit.
Upon further investigation, Brex found out that his home had never been listed correctly with the county tax office. In tax department records from 1999 to the revaluation in 2007, the home is listed as 3,594 square feet. After the revaluation, it jumps up to 4,201 square feet.
In June 2012, when he discovered the discrepancy, Brex called the county tax office and demanded an on-site visit to correct the problem. The on-site visit rendered a verdict of 3,012 square feet.
"It's fair now. But the icing on the cake was for last year, I still had to pay the incorrect bill because the appeal process had ended before I found out about the problem," Brex said.
Brex met with an accountant to figure up how much money he has lost during the past 13 years as a result of the incorrect square footage. It came out to more than $25,000 and Brex believes he is owed a refund.
"I just can't afford all this," said Brex, a retired American Airlines pilot. "I can't eat a $25,000 error."
But the New Hanover County Tax Office doesn't see it as an error.
"He's had every opportunity to appeal the value. He's got to take on some responsibility as well," said Roger Kelley, the New Hanover County tax administrator. "My argument is that if he felt that was a fair market value, why would he be due a refund?"
Brex purchased his home in 1998 and the county completed a revaluation Jan. 1, 1999. He would have received a notice of value change at that time letting him know what value was placed on his property, Kelley said. Brex did not respond, so the county presumed that he agreed with the value of $470,563.
In February 2007, a notice of value increase to $585,631 was sent to Brex for that year's countywide revaluation. He did not appeal that value.
Kelley said the discrepancy in the square footage came from an unfinished attic at the Brex home that the assessor assumed was finished. He did not give a reason for the additional increase during the 2007 revaluation.
"We determine square footage by a site visit. If we can't make contact with the property owner while we're there, we have to guess," he said. "We just assumed he had a finished area up there like some of the neighbors."
Brex's issue does not stem from the value of his home, but that he was never given a tax form that listed the square footage the value was based on.
New Hanover County tax bills only list the rate, amount assessed and balance due. It does not list the square footage.
Kelley said to find out the square footage all a resident needs to do is log on to the county website, call the tax office or come in to ask for a copy.
"I didn't know this problem even existed. I was ignorant," Brex said. "Why am I responsible for checking on the county's work?"
After the 2007 revaluation, the county saw around 6,300 appeals and after the revaluation in 2012, it had around 5,000 appeals. Kelley said in the in-between years the county averages 100 to 150 appeals a year.
Not all of these are similar situations to Brex, Kelley said. He said the county does not keep exact records of these numbers, but did admit that Brex is not alone.
"It's not like it happens 10 times a day or even 10 times a year, but it happens," Kelley said.
In situations like these, however, the law is on the side of the county.
A post by Chris McLaughlin with the University of North Carolina School of Government titled "When Does an Appraisal Justify a Refund?" tackles the issue and specifically talks about taxpayers who have unfinished attics, but were taxed for a finished attic like Brex.
It references several precedent court cases and comes to the conclusion that these taxpayers are not due a refund.
"A valuation error cannot justify a refund as an illegal tax even if that error was caused by the valuation of property features that never existed," it states. "... If we open up every one of those judgement calls to retroactive review for five years under G.S. 105-381, we would do serious harm to finality of our local government tax bases. And without that finality, budgeting for local governments would become far more difficult than it already is."
Kelley said this interpretation of the laws is what the county stands by and said that correcting the problem for the future is all he can do for Brex and other people in similar situations.
"We have corrected the problem for 2013 and we feel we've got the statutes and courts on our side in this situation," Kelley said. "There will be no refund."

My Master's program involves a Creative Thesis, which will be a full-length, semi-autobiographical novel. Author Lisa Moore is supervising the writing of this thesis. I'm already looking towards doing a dissertation for a PhD in 2019, focusing on early modern print culture in Europe and the constructions of gender identities. - I'm a film writer, author, and a freelance editor. My short stories have been printed in Canada and the U.S. I edited Newfoundland author Earl B. Pilgrim's latest novel The Adventures of Ernest Doane Volume I. Aside from that I have a short screenplay titled "New Woman" that went into post-production during early 2018. I was part of a pilot episode for "The Ship" on CBC; I told a non-fiction story of mine about my own addiction/alcoholism live for an audience with nine other storytellers. - Meanwhile, I'm writing more screenplays, working on editing a couple novels I've finished, and running this website/writing all of its content. I used to write for Film Inquiry frequently during 2016-17. I'm currently contributing to a new website launching in May 2018, Scriptophobic; my column is titled Serial Killer Celluloid.

The Planning Commission advises the city on its efforts to develop policies and action plans to make Seattle's transportation system accessible and convenient for transit users, pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, and freight and to encourage smart transportation choices by providing people with options.
Alaskan Way Viaduct and Seawall Replacement
For the past several years, we have participated in reviewing plans for replacement of the Alaskan Way Viaduct and redevelopment of the Central Waterfront. During various stages of the planning process we provided recommendations to City Council, the Mayor, and the Governor. These recommendations can be viewed below.
July 21, 2004 - Recommendations on the alternatives for the Alaskan Way Viaduct Project.
June 2004 - Planning Commission and Design Commission Joint letter on our shared position on the Alaskan Way Viaduct Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS).
Plus an abbreviated list of joint principles regarding the Alaskan Way Viaduct Project, and a detailed list of both Commissions' comments.

Seattle Transit Communities
Starting with the release of our Seattle Transit Communities Report in 2010 we have promoted a citywide transit communities strategy. This strategy would support more inclusive, affordable, and diverse neighborhoods and help maximize investment in major transit projects by locating housing, jobs, and services close enough to transit so that more people will have a faster and more convenient way to travel.
A transit community is a place where a neighborhood is integrated with transit, where coordinated public and private investments improve neighborhood quality, and where proactively planning for change can create or enhance a place where people of all ages and income levels can live in a complete community and access frequent, reliable transit. If you are interested in learning more about our Seattle Transit Communities work.
Since 2010 we have worked with City Council and the Mayor to incorporate this language and values into the Comprehensive Plan, our guiding growth document, and our work is chronicled below.
Planning Commission Chair David Cutler talks about Transit Communities at March 14th, 2013 Public Hearing.
Written notes of Chair Cutler's comments
Seattle Transit Communities - A Citywide Strategy to Integrate Neighborhoods with Transit - A report to Seattle City Council. Our March 4, 2013 report explains what a transit community is, why a citywide strategy is important, and details the initial proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment. It also records the outreach and engagement that has informed the proposed strategy and summarizes feedback the Commission has received about the proposed transit communities Comprehensive Plan amendment.
Our February 7th, 2013 comments and recommendations on the proposed 2012-2013 Comprehensive Plan amendments include proposed revisions to Transit Communities proposal DPD submitted to Council.
On November 29th, 2012 the Executive released its report with analysis and recommendations on the Commission transit communities' proposal. DPD included significant changes to the Commissions original proposal in their Director's report. DPD's proposal became the Mayor's proposed recommendation for final adoption.
On September 24, 2012 we offered a proposal to DPD that defines a strong framework in the Comprehensive Plan as a first step in implementing a citywide transit community strategy.
Tools and Policies for Promoting Social Equity in Seattle Transit Communities. In 2012 we commissioned research that resulted in a report that recommends tools and policies that can help promote social equity in Seattle transit communities.
June 2011 - we called for a Citywide Transit Communities Policy to maximize transit investment

Patent losses stalk BMS, AZ quarterly results
Quarterly results for Bristol Myers-Squibb and AstraZeneca show patent losses continue to roil the balance sheets.
Generic Plavix trimmed sales for BMS's quarter, which fell 27%, to $4 billion, compared to the same period last year, largely due to generic versions of cardio drugs Plavix and Avapro. US sales plummeted 44% during the quarter while international sales rose 6% vs. the year-ago period. The major growth story in percentages was for melanoma drug Yervoy, which posted $229 million in Q1 sales, a 49% increase over the same period last year, while diabetes medication Onglyza brought in sales of $202 million, a 25% increase over Q1 2012.
Some of the same dynamics were at play for AstraZeneca, which closed the first quarter of the year with a 13% slide in sales, to $4 billion, compared to $7 billion for the same period last year. Generic forms of mood drug Seroquel IR and heart pill Atacand were behind the shrinkage, as was Canada's move to unleash a generic knockoff of the statin Crestor. US sales dropped 16%, largely due to generic Seroquel competition, and sales for the Seroquel franchise, which includes Seroquel IR and Seroquel, were down 60% vs. the same period last year. A multi-phase restructuring helped shrink the company's R&D spend to $1.3 billion, a 6% drop from the year-ago period. SG&A costs fell to $2.6 billion, 3% less than was spent for the prior-year period.The respiratory division saw growth with Symbicort sales rising 14% over the same period last year, and Pulmicort rising 3% quarter-on-quarter, while oncology drug Irissa led the category, with sales rising 20% over the same period last year.

Most Pa. Abortion Clinics Granted Licenses as New Law Takes Effect
June 19, 2012 — Fourteen of Pennsylvania's 22 abortion clinics have received licenses allowing them to continue providing services under a new state law, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
The law was enacted in December and takes effect on Tuesday (McCullough, Philadelphia Inquirer, 6/19). The legislation requires clinics to comply with the same requirements as ambulatory surgical facilities, including building standards, staff credentialing, quality assurance plans and more (Darragh, Lehigh Valley Morning Call, 6/18). Although the state Department of Health waived some of the requirements -- such as installing hospital-grade elevators and having larger operating rooms -- the others remain intact (Philadelphia Inquirer, 6/19).
To meet the requirements, clinics must either upgrade their facilities or relocate to new buildings (Women's Health Policy Report, 12/22/11).
Most Licenses Provisional
All but one of the 14 licenses are considered provisional until the completion of construction over the next three to six months. Hillcrest Women's Medical Center in Harrisburg is the only clinic that was granted a full license. Six of the licenses allow the clinics to provide abortion care up to 14 weeks of pregnancy, while eight are for providing the procedure up to about 18 weeks (Philadelphia Inquirer, 6/19).
Of the eight clinics that did not receive licenses, one in the Pittsburgh will no longer provide abortion care, state officials said. Two clinics affiliated with medical centers at the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Pennsylvania will continue to operate under a hospital license, and five will be allowed to offer medication abortion but not surgical abortion (Levy, AP/Washington Times, 6/18).
Proponents, Opponents Comment on New Law
Proponents of the clinic regulations said they are a response to the case of Kermit Gosnell, who was indicted by a grand jury last year for an illegal abortion operation that led to the deaths of several infants and two pregnant women. Health Secretary Eli Avila called the law "a public health victory" (Lehigh Valley Morning Call, 6/18).
Clinics operators in the state have said the Gosnell case was a result of the state not enforcing existing rules and that the regulations are unnecessary. The new law was not prompted by concern for women's safety but opposition to abortion, they said (Philadelphia Inquirer, 6/19).
Planned Parenthood of Central Pennsylvania President Suellen Craig said clinics have had to renovate facilities, purchase new equipment and retrain staff to comply with the new regulations. "Even in the face of burdensome, medically unnecessary regulations, we will do what it takes to be there for the women counting on us," PPCP said.
Despite the difficult process, the Department of Health has been fair in its implementation of the new law, Craig added (AP/Washington Times, 6/18).

Gerrard will lead his team into battle in a crucial Group D game in Sao Paulo on Thursday knowing a second straight defeat will almost certainly end England's hopes of progression into the next phase of Brazil 2014, yet confidence appears to be high among coach Roy Hodgson and his English players.
Liverpool midfielder Gerrard has confirmed that he joined by senior squad member Frank Lampard and Hodgson by offering an confidence-boosting speech to the rest of the England players following their 2-1 defeat against Italy last Saturday, as the trio tried to emphasise the importance of the Uruguay game.
"It was important for them to realise what is at stake and how important this game is," Gerrard said in his pre-match news conference.
"It wasn't a message to scare any of the lads but a wake-up call to everyone in the room, the staff and the players. We have got a must-win scenario.
"It could be a terrible long, frustrating summer if we don't get it right [against Uruguay]. There is no hiding place for a player when you go out of a tournament.
"It can be tough as a player and it can take an awful long time to get over it. I have been there. I know what that feeling is about and that is the feeling that I don't want come Friday morning. We need everyone focused and right on it on Thursday.
"In the qualification, we probably put our two best performances together when the pressure was really on. That's maybe because you realise what is at stake and you don't really get a second chance.
"I'm hoping that is going to be the case in the next two games, but they are tricky opponents that we are going to come up against. The lads still have that confidence and belief. I haven't seen any negativity or anyone lacking any belief since the Italy game."
Gerrard will come up against his Liverpool teammate Luis Suarez in the Uruguay lineup, with the England skipper suggesting his side's success in handling their opponent's forward bursts.
Suarez will be joined by Edinson Cavani, Diego Forlan and Gaston Ramirez in trying to unsettle the English defence and Gerrard respects the attacking talent Uruguay have at their disposal.
"For me the key in this game is how we defend because Uruguay's strengths are in their front players," he said. "Cavani, Suarez, Forlan, and Ramirez. They are the key players who can hurt this England team.
"It is no good us being really good going forward on the break if we can't defend properly."
Meanwhile, Gerrard suggested his Liverpool allegiances with Suarez would be put to one side as national duty calls as he added: "He knows that once that whistle blows there is no friendship at all between me and Luis Suarez for 90 minutes.
"If I walk past him in the tunnel I will say hello and shake his hand, but at that moment I am not really looking for friends or teammates."

Not long ago I fractured my shoulder and needed surgery. After the operation, my husband of 30 years did all the things a loving spouse would be expected to do: He fluffed my pillows and put toothpaste on my toothbrush (try doing that with one arm!) and overlooked my crankiness.
My husband also helped me in ways so fundamental to our status as a married couple that I barely registered them. When I was loopy after the operation, he spoke with the surgeon on my behalf; he signed me out when I was discharged; health insurance through his employer covered my medical expenses.

For the past week, every political junkie in California has been riveted to the arrest and federal indictment of Democratic State Senator Leland Yee, charged with public corruption and gun trafficking.
The federal court in San Francisco was a mob scene of reporters March 26, all trying to take in the 137-page indictment and get a chance to see Yee's first court appearance, along with alleged Chinatown gangster Raymond "Shrimp Boy" Chow and 20 defendants.
At the center of the maelstrom are three UC Hastings alumni, each playing pivotal roles in the case. The prosecution team includes AUSA Susan Badger '86. Lee's first defense attorney was Paul DeMeester '90, before longtime attorney Jim Lassart substituted in for him April 2. Lassart has been an instructor at UC Hastings Trial and Advocacy Clinic. And it's all going down in the courtroom of federal Magistrate Judge Nathanael Cousins '95.
Badger '86 is one of three Assistant U.S. Attorneys leading the case, along with William Frentzen and S. Waqar Hasib '04. Badger was recently named a California Lawyer of the Year by California Lawyer magazine for her work prosecuting corrupt law enforcement officers, including two Richmond police officers, former Contra Costa County Deputy Sheriff Stephen Tanabe, and the now-disbanded Central Costa County Narcotics Enforcement Team.
At Yee's side that day and later handling questions on the courthouse steps was DeMeester '90. Reporters initially chased DeMeester down the hall for comment. After meeting with Yee, DeMeester began raising questions about the timing and course of the three-year-old FBI investigation, musing why it took three years to put the case together. DeMeester in particular challenged why the FBI shifted its focus from a cash-for-influence case to an investigation of alleged connections to international arms dealers.
"There's a question of whether the government felt it didn't have enough evidence on the campaign investigation, so it starts pushing on the arms trafficking," DeMeester told the Associated Press. As of April 1, Yee had yet to enter a plea to the charges.
And it all went down in the courtroom of U.S. Magistrate Judge Nathanael Cousins '95. Cousins was assigned early issues such as setting bond for Lee, Chow and others. The parties return to Cousins' courtroom April 8 for additional hearings, including requiring Lee to post real property as part of his $500,000 bond. Externs from UC Hastings working in Cousins' court had front-row seats for what many attorneys would be the case of a lifetime.
"UC Hastings produces great lawyers. On any side of any legal issue you are going to find a talented UC Hastings graduate," said Professor Rory Little, a former federal prosecutor who teaches Criminal Law and Constitutional Law. "UC Hastings has a deep bench of talented lawyers and judges in the city."
Little, a former federal prosecutor who teaches Criminal Law and Constitutional Law, has been providing commentary and memorable sound bites for media outlets around the state. He told Howard Mintz of the San Jose Mercury News, "It looks to me like he's [Yee] got plenty to worry about."
Little also appeared with Phil Matier on KTVU's Sunday morning news talk show, talking about the strength of the wiretap evidence against Lee. He also taped comments for KCBS radio and KRON 4 television.
"This is the kind of case you can really get excited about and sink your teeth into. It is high profile, with a lot of legal issues, and a ton of strategy with this many defendants and a lengthy investigation. In that sense, it is a lawyer's dream on all side," Little said.
"The UC Hastings reunion in this case is not finished," Little predicted. "The attendance list is not complete. Most defendants have not announced counsel yet. Stay tuned."

I once swore I wouldn't post without photos, so I present the best photo I've taken all year:
See? That was worth waiting for. 550 yards of a heavy fingering weight yarn, lofty and soft superwash merino from this fiber by AllSpunUp (still damp when I took this). I proved to myself that I can spin 100 yards of 2-ply from an ounce of fiber, so no need to worry from here on out about getting 400 yards of yarn from 4 ounces of fiber – what a relief. And it's so pretty, too.
I have more pictures to take, including an FO photo for a finally-finished pair of Paraphernalia socks, and more to tell you about how preparing a presentation on sock knitting for my spinning guild this month may have put me off knitting socks for a good, long while. Am I sick of socks? Unless they're handspun, right now, the answer may be "yes" – shhh!

Pervs, farts, and volleyball: yup, that's high school. Thanks for the story, Sarah Bruley!—Miss Marm
I woke up at 7 a.m. and unfortunately, did not feel like P. Diddy. Unfortunately for me, homeroom at Morass High starts at 6:45, which meant I would have to sweet-talk my way out of detention again. And when I say sweet-talk, I mean bring a tray of cupcakes to Mr. Rasp, the man in charge at the attendance office. Judging by his pale skin, baggy eyes, and several chins it's easy to tell that Mr. Rasp is not well acquainted with the great outdoors, or sunshine for that matter. Most latecomers arrive in his office and are greeted with his glazed expression and reeking odor of his flatulence and leave with a detention slip and loss of appetite. However, the more experienced upperclassmen, such as myself, have learned to take advantage of Mr. Rasp's soft spot for baked goods and manage to leave his office with only the slight odor of his office lingering in our jackets.
I finally reached homeroom at 7:15 and immediately found Mr. Trevrep yet again attempting to flirt with my best friend, Maggie. Today, Mr. Trevrep had slicked down his comb-over with so much gel it looked like he shoved his head in a bowling ball shiner.
zara9's protagonist disapproves of your monosyllabic word choices. But in a funny way! —Miss Marm
My friend Shelly was guilty of murder. Not of any person, but worse; she was guilty of murdering the English language. Every time she opened her mouth to speak, you could practically hear the language screech in terror as she ground it into dust under her heel. She had the vocabulary of a bumbling toddler, the accent of an extraterrestrial, and the grammatical abilities of someone who doesn't know English. To make matters worse, she gushed along at the speed of an express train, eating every second letter. Let's just say it wasn't easy talking to her.
Caroline Watson's story, "Vaseline," is not only a finalist in the fiction contest, it's kind of about makeovers! (Yes, it is. Just go with it.) —Miss Marm

This is my love story. When I was five years, old, I wrote a detailed description of what my first girlfriend would look and act like on a neon yellow post-it. She had to have hair that was not any shade of black, brown, blonde, or red. Blue eyes. She had to be an expert at playing the banjo. She had to be allergic to ketchup and mustard, just like I

Programme Against African Trypanosomosis (PAAT)
The Disease
Clinical signs
Differential diagnosis
Tsetse-transmitted Trypanosomosis is an infectious disease unique to Africa and caused by various species of blood parasites. The disease affects both people [Human African Trypanosomosis (HAT) or sleeping sickness] and animals [Animal African Trypanosomosis (AAT) or Nagana] and occurs in 37 sub-Saharan countries covering more than 9 million km2, an area which corresponds approximately to one-third of the Africa's total land area. The infection threatens an estimated 60 million people and about 50 million head of cattle.
Currently, between 50,000 and 70,000 people are estimated to be infected. Every
year, AAT causes about 3 million deaths in cattle while approximately
35 million doses of trypanocidal drugs are administered. Nagana
has a severe impact on agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa.
The economic losses in cattle production alone are in the
range of US$ 1.0 - 1.2 billion. A ponderated evaluation extrapolated
for the total tsetse-infested lands values total losses, in
terms of agricultural Gross Domestic Product, at US$ 4.75
billion per year.
The disease is included in the List B of OIE.

On a whim, I also decided to make coconut rice as a side dish-- and if I had snow peas, I would served them as a perfect accompaniment. Alas, I didn't, but I served wilted spinach and the last of Brussel sprouts (which my husband loves, and I like).
The rice is pretty easy to make, and I started it, first. It takes about 30 minutes to make. I used 1 3/4 cups water, 1/2 cup Lite Coconut Milk (I always keep this on hand), and 3 Tbsp. of Sweet Chili Sauce. Sweet Chili Sauce is pretty easy to find-- usually it's in the international section at your local grocery store. I've spotted it at Trader Joe's, too.
I pour the coconut milk into simmering water, add the chili sauce (you can add less if you don't want much of a "kick"- though chili sauce isn't super hot, anyway. Bring the liquids to a boil, add the rice, cover the pot and cook on low for about 20 minutes. After that, let it sit for about 10 minutes...
Now, for the glaze sauce:
Roasted Brussel Sprout recipe that I will post, soon. Tonight, I steam these since Craig likes them roasted or steamed. Me?
I'm so glad you asked! I wilted fresh spinach in a garlic-infused olive oil-- I love spinach!
Printable recipes for both of these dishes can be found at the bottom of this post. If you are receiving my blog via Feedburner, you will need to JUMP to my blog to view them.
Mary, thanks for posting this recipe. It was excellent, and definitely plan to use this glaze sauce recipe again. In fact, I think it would delicious without wasabi, if someone doesn't have it on hand. I have no idea why I had an unopened tube of wasabi, but I'm glad that I did. This is for you!

Someone asked me this recently and I really had no idea. Quick look in BOL didn't yield any results, so curiousity won out. First step was to use Profiler to monitor while I created a new template (with the standard like '%profiler% filter removed!) and didn't see anything. Loaded FileMon and it only took a couple minutes to see that templates are written to your user profile on disk as TDF files, in my case it was C:\Documents and Settings\Andy Warren\Application Data\Microsoft\SQL Profiler\9.0\Templates\Microsoft SQL Server\80. Also turns out that the files are binary, not the more handy text or XML you might expect. I did a quick search with Regmon to see if Profiler was loading the template folder from a key and didn't see anything, so appears to be a built in value.
Good part is the templates are available for use in any database you profile from the machine containing the template, bad part is that you won't have access to your templates if you're running Profiler on another machine. Changing/creating templates isn't hard of course, but now I've got the answer when someone asks.

I am a Muslim immigrant in North America. 18 years ago I was newly married and had to go out of town for business. My wife told me that during my absence someone got into the house and just kissed her, but then left, telling her that she is too young. But now after 18 years of our marriage she is telling me that yes she was raped by him. The man had sexual intercourse with her several times that day. During the last intercourse she could not hold back and had orgasm several times from him and hugged and kissed him Since the man was a rapist he never came back afraid of getting caught. I feel devastated from this incidence and very upset that why she did not tell me 18 years ago. I was kept in the dark for so many years, under the impression that no one has ever touched her. Please reply me ASAP what should I do? Is our marriage still valid? Should I divorce her? I also don't feel like going to the mosque and pray to Allah anymore. Please email me your reply ASAP to XXXX. Another point is that from the start when the man got into the house, she did whatever the man told her to do, she did not resist or scare him, or made him realize that it is a crime he is comitting, etc. She also did not scare him that my brother who used to live with us, is going to come in the house anytime. Her excuse is that she was too scared. I will wait for your advice.
Praise be to Allaah.
If what your wife has recently told you is what really happened, then she has committed a major sin and an act of clear betrayal by giving in to this attacker and not trying to escape or stop him or call for help and so on. Her claim that she was forced to do it is not acceptable, because she makes no mention of being threatened with a weapon or being tied up, etc. If this is indeed the case, and she clearly did not try to defend herself, then what should you do and how should you regard her?
There is no doubt that you should warn her and remind her about Allaah and the Last Day and its horrors, and explain to her the seriousness of overstepping the limits set by Allaah and betraying one's spouse. You should also remind her of the terrible punishment dictated by sharee'ah for the married person who commits adultery, which is stoning to death.
After warning her in this fashion, if you see that she regrets what she did and is striving to be righteous, there is nothing wrong with staying with her, and your marriage will still be valid. It seems most likely that this woman is indeed sorry for what she did and has repented, because she is the one who has brought up the subject after it had been forgotten, and she has told you about it. Perhaps this is because of her guilty conscience and sincere desire to seek forgiveness from her husband. The sin that she committed when she was very young and living in the ignorant environment of America, and where she may have resisted at the beginning of the attack, then softened, is nothing like the sin of a woman who goes out of her way to commit it, and plans to do it deliberately. Our advice is that if this woman is now righteous and truly regrets what she did, then you should forgive her, especially as you may by now have children who will suffer if you divorce her. At the same time, you should continue to teach her, keep an eye on her and not stay away from her for too long. We ask Allaah to acceptance repentance from us all.
Finally, I want to address a serious matter that you refer to in the second part of your question, which is the fact that you say you no longer want to go to the mosque or pray or make du'aa', because of the crisis that you are facing. This is very strange, for whenever the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was faced with a serious matter he would turn to prayer and ask Allaah to help him, and he taught us to do likewise. We should not turn away from the houses of Allaah (mosques) or stop praying and making du'aa'. Where else can you turn in times of trouble and who else can you ask for protection in this crisis? Turn back to Allaah, my brother, ask Him to relieve your distress and seek His help with patience and prayer, for Allaah is with those who are patient.

As expected, the European Commission rendered their verdict on the pending merger between Google and Motorola Mobility, and the verdict brings good news for the Mountain View company. The European Commission was likely to be one of the biggest hurdles Googorola would need to overcome to get the deal approved, and Europe today officially blessed the deal.
Hot off the heals of the European Commission's approval, the U.S. Department of Justice also approved the deal this afternoon, leaving China, Israel, and Taiwan as the only countries left to weigh in on the deal.
With approval from the U.S. and a blessing from Europe, it looks all but certain that Google will be allowed to merge with Motorola in early 2012. Google is now awaiting approval from a handful of jurisdictions around the world, and the deal is likely to close as early as the next few months.
With this merger, we hope that the combined company will either completely rework Motorola's UI overlay, or ditch it altogether in favor of stock Android. We also hope that Google will stick to its ways of offering unlockable bootloaders on all of Motorola's phones, something the development community has been waiting on for over a year now. Time will tell how the merger plays out, and whether the two companies will largely integrate or remain separate operating units.
What do you hope for in Googorola? Sound off in the comments.

Payday and title loan businesses in Leavenworth soon could be facing $1,000 city licensing fees.
Payday and title loan businesses in Leavenworth soon could be facing $1,000 city licensing fees.
During a meeting Tuesday, Leavenworth city commissioners reviewed a proposal for a new license fee for these businesses. The matter was discussed during a study session and no formal action was taken. But Mayor Laura Janas Gasbarre said there appeared to be a consensus among commissioners to advance the issue for a later vote.
City Clerk Karen Logan presented the proposed change during an annual review of a list of various city fees. Logan also proposed a $25 special event fee for organized walks, races and other events that use city streets, parking lots or sidewalks.
She also recommended a $5 loud noise permit fee for events such as outdoor parties with disc jockeys.
Logan said the state has started licensing payday and title loan businesses, charging each $2,500 per year.
She said numerous cities in Kansas also are charging for their own licenses for these businesses. These fees range from $500 to $1,500. The city is proposing an annual $1,000 fee for each business.
Commissioner Davis Moulden asked why there is a charge for these businesses.
Logan said the purpose is to regulate the businesses similar to the regulation of pawn shops or precious metal businesses.
Under the proposal, payday and title loan businesses would be required to be licensed through the state and the city of Leavenworth.
Logan said there are six payday and title loan businesses currently in operation in Leavenworth. The proposal does not include a grandfather clause that would allow existing businesses to avoid paying the new license fee.
Commissioner Larry Dedeke asked if any of the other cities' licensing procedures address interest rates charged by the businesses.
Logan said the businesses are overseen by banking regulators at the state level.
Mayor Pro-Tem Mark Preisinger said he believes there is a limit placed on the interest rate that can be charged but there may be other fees charged to people who take out the loans.
If approved, the new license fee requirement would go into effect Jan. 1. Logan said notices would be sent out in advance to the affected businesses.
"The first time around we do give them some leeway to get them licensed," Logan said.
After they're registered, they're required to pay the fee by the deadline. If businesses don't pay the license fees, they could be shut down, Logan said.
"And we don't have a problem dealing with that," she said.
Moulden asked about fees for roofing companies.
There is a new Kansas law that requires roofing contractors to register with the state.
"We're not ready to address that yet," Logan said, but she may bring it back next year.

Fabric Help
Fabric Help...
A Word About Handloom
Most Malabar fabrics are made entirely by hand using traditional time honoured methods, requiring great skill and patience, and special care should be taken to ensure correct usage and cleaning. Please remember that a major part of the charm and beauty of handloom lies in the irregularity of the weave and of pattern repeats, which should not be treated as a defect, but as part of the character of a natural handmade product. A fabric with pattern repeats can sometimes be slightly out of line, which can usually be rectified by gently easing the fabric before cutting.
Please remember that fabrics should always be cut at right angles to the selvedge and not on the grain.
Handweaving is an extremely time-consuming business, with each loom averaging around 7m per day. Our aim is to keep a minimum of a months stock of each fabric in our London warehouse to enable us to fulfill orders. Of course it is not that simple, and a run on a fabric can leave us out of stock for some time. Replenishing stocks can take up to 8 weeks, but please get in touch for an accurate delivery date. It is helpful to bear in mind that most of our fabrics are not machine made - they have to be dyed by hand, woven by hand and sent seven and a half thousand kilometres.
Care and Cleaning
Several of our fabrics are washable - Shamois, Maya and Chiru, for all other Malabar fabrics we recommend dry-cleaning by specialist dry-cleaners. Some of our fabrics may be sensitive to certain cleaning treatments and will require a restricted cleaning procedure. The use of proprietary products for spot cleaning of fitted upholstery should be administered on site by a professional cleaning specialist.
Regular cleaning, the use of arm caps, turning of cushions, protecting furniture from exposure to strong sunlight and the application of protective treatments will greatly assist in the care of fabrics.
Curtains should be lined, and interlined where possible, and should be drawn back from windows during daylight hours.
Once goods have been cut, treated, made-up, installed or damaged in any way, they cannot be retuned for credit under any circumstances. For further details please go back to your supplier or contact our sales department.
Faulty Goods
Any alleged faults in our goods must be reported to us in writing within seven days of receipt of those goods otherwise claims cannot be considered.
Colour Matching
We recommend that when colour-matching is important, a stock cutting (is a small piece cut from the fabric reserved for you) is requested.

1 Cool Trick for Stripping Veneer Without Power Tools
Have you experienced this? You find a table at the thrift store that looks perfect for rehabbing, except there is this one little problem...it's covered in veneer. You don't like stripping veneer off of furniture because it involves lots of fumes, and heat, and masks, and all kinds of nasty stuff. Do you have to pass on that fabulous table? Do you have to leave the thrift without that credenza? No way; not anymore.
Furniture rehabber Gypsy Barn, from Canada, posted her secret to stripping veneer on Hometalk, and people are really excited. Here are her step-by-step instructions for stripping veneer from furniture without toxic fumes, heat, or power tools:
1. Soak a towel, so that it is "dripping wet", in vinegar.
2. Cover the veneer with the wet towel.
3. Go out for the night so that you don't have to smell the vinegar.
4. Come home and make sure that the towel is still dripping wet.
5. In the morning, use a putty knife or chisel to scrape off the veneer.
The furniture rehabber who generated this technique says that the veneer comes off "like a hot knife through butter", which is a pretty great endorsement. So now you can have your awesome thrifted furniture, and refinish it too. Sometimes you can have it all.

Healthpoint Biotherapeutics Introduces Copay Assistance Program For Collagenase Santyl® Ointment
Feb 01, 2013, 09:32 EST
FORT WORTH, Texas, Feb. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Healthpoint Biotherapeutics, a Smith & Nephew business (LSE : SN ,NYSE : SNN ), today announced the introduction of a Copay Assistance Program for patients who have been prescribed Collagenase SANTYL® Ointment and pay more than $50 out-of-pocket for their prescription. Under the program, eligible patients cover the first $50 and Healthpoint will pay up to the next $150 of out-of-pocket costs per prescription. The card can be used for as many as six prescriptions at a retail pharmacy, up to a $900 annual maximum.
"We recognize that healthcare costs are an important consideration today and some patients face difficult choices that could lead them to go without the medicines they need," commented Travis Baugh, President of Healthpoint Biotherapeutics. "That is why we are so pleased to introduce the SANTYL® Ointment Copay Assistance Program as one means of ensuring patient access to this important therapeutic option for managing often debilitating chronic wounds."
Both insured and uninsured patients may qualify for the Copay Assistance Program, except for prescriptions reimbursed under governmental healthcare programs or where otherwise restricted by law.
Additional information, along with program terms and conditions, are available online at http://www.santyl.com/copay or by calling 1-800-364-4767.
About Collagenase SANTYL® Ointment
Collagenase SANTYL® Ointment is a selective enzymatic debriding agent that provides continuous, bioactive removal of necrotic (dead) collagen without harming granulation tissue (collagen-rich tissue which forms in the healing wound). In difficult-to-heal and chronic wounds (such as diabetic, venous and pressure ulcers), there is an ongoing deposition of non-viable tissue that must be continually removed to maintain the readiness of the wound for healing. The process of removing these barriers to healing is called debridement, which can be accomplished through the use of certain enzymes (types of proteins) to liquefy necrotic tissue, thus allowing bioburden (microorganisms contaminating the wound) to be more easily removed from the wound.
Ongoing, active removal of necrotic debris at the cellular level may help wounds progress from the inflammatory phase (defense against infection) to the proliferative phase (spreading of new cells over the wound bed) of healing. By breaking the cycle of inflammation which traps many chronic wounds, SANTYL® Ointment contributes to the formation of granulation tissue and subsequent epithelialization (regeneration of the epidermis across a wound surface).
Collagenase SANTYL® Ointment is the only product approved by the FDA for use as an enzymatic debriding agent and is indicated for debriding chronic dermal ulcers (e.g., pressure ulcers, venous ulcers and diabetic ulcers) and severely burned areas. SANTYL® Ointment contains 250 collagenase units per gram of white petrolatum USP; the enzyme collagenase is derived from the fermentation by Clostridium histolyticum. Occasional slight transient erythema has been noted in surrounding tissue when applied outside the wound. One case of systemic hypersensitivity has been reported after one year of treatment with collagenase and cortisone. For more information, please visit http://www.santyl.com/.

Author Scott's Book Reviews
This book tells the story of a young officer in the English army who finds his sympathy drawn towards the opposition when he is posted to Scotland. He becomes one of the leaders of the insurrection directed against the English. The book is beautifully written and adheres closely to Scottish history. There is romance and adventure in this tale as our young hero is forced to test his loyalties to his country and the love of his life....

Kurcha lives in a home built into a hillside, with only the chimney and the large moss-covered circular door as evidence to its presence.
The main living area - a cozy single room - houses his bunk, hearth, and a wooden table with benches. An orange tattered curtain drapes the entrance to a second room hidden in the back, with shelves from floor to ceiling, packed with inventory of used goods for trading.
Each day, he packs his rickety cart full of items, hanging pans, lanterns dusted with rust, and various tools over the side to conserve room for larger trinkets in the main compartment.
He pushes it happily down the rock-strewn path (more of a parting through the tall grass made by the countless times he's taken this route) until he reaches the Meadow Market where he'll spend the day bartering with travelers, locals and other vendors.
This figure is 5.5 inches tall.

I still think that when any top 8 T20 team playing another, the odds are never outside 60-40. Therefor, any team has a reasonable chance to advance to the final and winning it.
Aus seem to have the in-form team, but so does England. And though I don't think Pakistan have shown great form, they haven't been piss poor either. Tonked by Watson and DHussey in the first group, but the the games vs NZ and Eng went down the drain just marginally.
Still, Aus favourites, I guess.
i back england winning by 3 wickets....

Wont be too bad for me, will have to listen/watch the first half hour on the net then listen to R4LW on the way home, should get home for the conclusion of the first innings and the whole of the second one
I'll get home about 5.45 so yeah should catch the end of the first dig.
If we bat first, that is. If we bowl first, I'll miss the whole game as it won't take long to chase 13.
But can't find fault with you, I had an Aus telling me how would I feel if he had made fun of Indian accent. What he didn't realize was that the sub-continent accent is more or less the same and ofc ppl make fun of OZ accent as well so it's not like I am going to be offended. In fact I am likely to tell him to speak in Canadian English

Bitter Orange and Cedar
This fragrance ushers in the Fall with the smell of orange spice and and a hint of the first cozy fire in the fireplace. A scent that welcomes family and friends!
Favorite Autumn Scent!
I'm so glad Thymes came out with this scent! It is the perfect addition to fall. I was afraid of the patchouli would over power, like it often does, but I actually wouldn't know it was in there if it weren't for the description. This smell reminds me of a cedar closet with citrus and a lit vanilla candle thrown in there. None of the scents overpower each other. They blend perfectly. I will buy everything in this scent!

"London Mayor Boris Johnson is to defy the politically correct brigade by staging a week-long festival in the capital to celebrate St George's Day, with the red and white cross of England's patron saint flying proudly from his City Hall offices."
"The move follows a series of incidents in recent years in which people have been banned from displaying the English flag on the grounds that it is racist and could offend Muslims because of St George's association with the Crusades."
"Mr Johnson told The Mail on Sunday: 'St George's Day has been ignored in London for too long but I'm truly pleased to announce some fantastic events to mark this occasion...
'St George's Day is a time to celebrate the very best of everything English and the Cross of St George will proudly fly outside City Hall on April 23. I look forward to hopping on a Routemaster and encouraging everyone to join in the fun and celebrate England's great patron saint.'
-Update- The BBC didn't do themselves any favours either, claiming that St George's Day celebrations were not funded by the last Mayor:

It seems that people think "Tegra" and all it's marketing is the most powerful thing around. They use their marketing blitz to push the Tegra Zone with non-standard graphical tricks that make the games look better. People see this and think it's due to the raw "horsepower" (or whatever term you prefer.)
Take the Tegra 3; people think it's the best SoC around. You'll hear stuff like "I don't want the AT&T One X cause it's only a stupid dual core."
Wouldn't it be nice to drop the dirty tricks and just make a very powerful chip in its own right? They seem to have no problem with desktop GPUs.

I've been drooling over hundreds of Christmas Cookie recipes that so many food bloggers have been posting for weeks. So, here I am, just a few days before our school Winter Break, and I had to bake something that I could share with my co-workers. I was craving eggnog flavor and I was also craving cookies. That's when I remembered that I had ordered a bottle of LorAnn Eggnog flavor from King Arthur Flour. So, I adapted my Funfetti Cookie recipe, hoping I would achieve a cookie that is crispy on the outside, and chewy in the middle.
Here's a teaser for my next recipe:

Lithuania holidays are one of Europe's best-kept secrets. Here, you will find a country of boundless forests, clear lakes and white -sand beaches. The tiny capital, Vilnius, with its exquisite Baroque Old Town, reflects a diversity of influences from Germany, Poland, Russia and Scandinavia. The influence of legendary US rock musician, Frank Zappa, is not so clear but his statue on Kalinausko defines the quirky nature of Lithuania.
Peruse the narrow winding streets of Vilnius, with a church on virtually every corner, before driving into the countryside, covered in endless forests, and to the Baltic coast with its white-sand beaches.
Follow the meandering river along the picturesque Panemune road and stop to visit the castles at Raudone and Panemune before heading to the coastal resort of Palanga. Here you will find long beaches backed by sand dunes and pine forests and a town well served with bars and restaurants for those long summer evenings.
Lithuania's seaport, Klaipeda, is worth a visit for its narrow streets, half-timbered merchant houses and the remains of medieval fortifications. Head out of town into the national parks where you can canoe on the lakes, cycle through the woods and hike along the sand dunes and into the fragrant pine forests.
