One of my favorite topics to share is how Visible Learning can help leaders create an effective leadership profile—those practices that have the greatest impact on student achievement.
Building administrators and school leaders across the nation are challenged to find strategies that will generate continual increased levels of student achievement. Research is clear about the importance of principal leadership and what makes an effective leader. Research is also clear about what the most effective practices are within a school to achieve increased student success.
So what is it, specifically, that instructional leaders do? How can leaders overcome the "politics of distraction" when it comes to leading change? Do our best teachers leave lousy schools—or lousy leaders? Instructional leadership must be focused on evidence, not tradition. Moreover, instructional leaders must maintain a learning environment based on quality teaching, student engagement, evaluation of instructional impact, and create positive home-school relationships.
In the past, school principals identified their primary role as manager. In this capacity, success meant keeping their schools running smoothly. Today, effective principals know that they must do much more than "keep the buses running on time." American education is at a tipping point and what counts most is student success. Complex academic, social, and economic barriers, however, keep many students from meeting their potential. The contemporary challenge for the principal is to break down these barriers and create the conditions for learning.
School Principals Manage People, Data, and Processes
The most effective leaders have a laser-like focus on the quality of instruction in their schools. As the Wallace Perspective notes, "They emphasize research-based strategies to improve teaching and learning and initiate discussions about instructional approaches, both in teams and with individual teachers. They pursue these strategies despite the preference of many teachers to be left alone" (The Wallace Foundation, 2012).
When principals spend time in classrooms to evaluate instruction, they can make close observations of what's working and what isn't. But it doesn't stop there—they make sure to discuss what they have found with teachers.
In the cause of improving instruction, effective principals take advantage of the collaborative culture they work in and consistently express a desire to see teachers working, teaching, and helping one another.
"To create opportunities for teacher collaboration and learning, supervisory leaders across school sites turned to the school schedule to create the time and endorsement for this kind of work to occur.
Some principals moved to a block schedule, others gave up administrative meeting time to create more planning time for teachers, while others used the master schedule as a tool to create opportunities and accommodate for various teacher professional development activities, such as 'lab sites,' peer observations, grade-level meetings, and professional development sessions" (Portin et al., 2009, p. 59).
Instructional leaders engaged in school reform should continue to think about which three or four sources of data might show promising trends and carefully choose which variables can be tracked as simply as possible. When actual data are not available, principals can often extrapolate and report reasonable estimates based on larger trends and shifts. We often look at only obvious, easy-to-collect data, like test scores. It's important to look for other data that help to maximize impact.
From Floodlight to Flashlight: Instructional Leaders Narrow Their Focus
When Viviane Robinson and her colleagues (2008) identified five principal leadership practices that positively impact student achievement, they incorporated the strength of the relationship between two variables: principal leadership actions and student achievement. The five practices are:
- Establish goals and expectations
- Strategic resourcing
- Planning, coordinating, and evaluating teaching and the curriculum
- Promoting and participating in teacher learning and development
- Ensuring an orderly and supportive environment (Robinson, 2007; Robinson, et al., 2008)
To describe these practices in detail is not the purpose of this blog post. The point is that there are only five, and they have the potential to help leaders form a strong school and district framework for success. Schools and districts benefit from a greater degree of focus. This includes curriculum focus, like identifying the most important standards and explicitly telling teachers that universal coverage of every academic standard is neither necessary nor wise.
Moreover, instructional leaders understand that it is not the number of programs you implement, but the degree of implementation that makes a meaningful difference. The psychological advantages of implementation are increased when teachers and other stakeholders realize that in order to accomplish something significant, other tasks deemed insignificant or ineffective must be discontinued.
The best way to achieve instructional focus is by simply asking the right question—not "What works?" but "What works best for my students in my school?" and "What is the best evidence of impact and efficacy for my teachers?" Effective leaders focus only on what they can monitor, including adults and the collection of cause data—those practices that preceded test scores. Finally, a central part of being a great leader is cultivating leadership in others.
What "facts" about leadership, teaching, and learning are you willing to reconsider?
What appropriate risks are you willing to take? What is the cost of the mistakes you might make and what is the cost of failing to try new ideas?
Schools and districts invest millions of dollars each year to purchase programs designed to increase achievement. Strong instructional leadership depends less on "programs" and more on professional practice. As educators, we must recognize the difference between the two; for every dollar we invest in the competence of teachers and leaders, we will net a greater gain in student achievement than if we were to spend that money on another program. While programs come and go, sound professional practice never goes out of style.

What does it say?
Ezekiel 13 is a strong denouncement of false prophets. They are like jackals or foxes scavenging among the ruins of Jerusalem. They are like a whitewashed wall that has no foundation and comes crumbling down. God promises judgment upon these false prophets, male and female, and the people that trust in them.
Idolatry again takes the spotlight in Ezekiel 14. Ezekiel tends to hit the same themes to the point of seeming repetitious. The reality is that they are incredibly important and deserve to be repeated. Those who put anyone or anything above the true God will be destroyed. Many Jews of the day believe that a few godly men among them would prevent judgment, but God responds that their evil is such that even a Noah, Daniel or Job could not save anyone but himself.
The vine is a well-known symbol of Israel. For those who still believe there is a chance that Jerusalem would be spared, Ezekiel 15 responds by using the vine symbol. The vine of Israel is well past bearing fruit and the wood itself is worthless. It is good for nothing but to be tossed in the fire.
What does it mean?
The description of false prophets and how they operate (Eze 13) is strikingly similar to the way that astrologers, fortune-tellers and even self-proclaimed prophets in Christian churches dupe their naïve followers today. The use of special props, blessed objects and the like is coupled with an atmosphere designed to make people susceptible to their false messages.
The Bible is written from cultures that place great emphasis on community, but the Bible also teaches individual responsibility. Just as heroes like Noah, Daniel and Job could not atone for individual responsibility of others, the mere fact of being a member of a good church with a good pastor and leaders is no protection for individual sin. Israel ignored their lack of fruit in God's mission and trusted in outward appearance. We should be careful today to constantly evaluate our fruit in God's mission and not how busy we are going through the motions of religious observance.
How will I respond?
In whom or what do I trust for guidance in my life apart from God himself? Checking my horoscope can be entertaining, but do I really give credence to it at the expense of faith in God? Can I honestly see missional fruit in my life, or am I merely busy doing good things?

Violence and sexual assaults are growing problems for indigenous kids
FamilyVoice Victoria director Peter Stevens is greatly disturbed by the report in today's Australian of the sexual assault of a 13-year-old indigenous boy by other teens in Alice Springs last weekend – and by the connection between rising sexualisation of children in Northern Territory communities and online pornography.
"Will MacGregor, chief executive of the Bush Mob rehab centre where the assault occurred, has warned of a 'massive issue' around sexual content spread through social media," Peter Stevens said. "He pointed out that 'there's no checks and balances on that stuff'."
Mr Stevens said reports of child-on-child sex abuse are not confined to the Northern Territory. "Last year, six-year-old Year 1 boys at Sydney's Trinity Grammar viewed porn on school iPads with incorrect filter settings. Later in the year some of them sexually assaulted other boys in the school toilets and elsewhere," he said.
Peter Stevens welcomed the new Senate inquiry on the harm done to Australian children through access to pornography on the internet. Academic papers presented during the "Porn Harms Kids" symposium on 9 February at the University of NSW are expected to throw more light on the issue.

The Twelve Steps are our plan of living. We must have a plan. Without one, we waste our energy.
We react instead of think. This is what we did as an addict. We lived our lives as out-of-control people. This caused a lot of pain for us and those around us.
Recovery brings us the Twelve Steps, and each Step gives us direction and wisdom. Each Step builds on the progress we made from the Step before it. Sometimes we follow the plan well. Sometimes we think we can do better on our own. Do I believe the Twelve Steps are a good plan of living?
Prayer for the Day: Higher Power, You have shown me a new way of life, a plan for living. Thank you for leading me to the Twelve Steps. Help me follow them.

Although the electronic deadline has not yet been confirmed by the Department, companies intending to submit electronic returns will have more time, with the deadline likely to be mid-January 2012. The additional time allowed is to encourage companies to convert to electronic submissions.
Grant Lloyd, managing director of payroll and HR software specialist Softline Pastel Payroll, points out that companies with less than 150 employees but more than 50, who are required to submit only every second year, must send in their reports this year. Companies with more than 150 employees submit every year. This year it is companies with more than 50 employees that have to submit their returns by 1 October.
In July 2009 amendments were made to simplify the information required for the Employment Equity reporting process. The EEA2 and EEA4 reports have been reduced from 23 pages to 12 pages and from 12 pages to 4 pages respectively. The EEA1 form remains unchanged at one page.
"This makes reporting easier and employers with payroll software that accommodates the amended reporting templates will find all of the information necessary to accurately complete the return resides conveniently in their payroll system," says Lloyd. "This data can be automatically extracted and pre-populated into the required report formats."
Companies using spreadsheets to compile reports must first ensure that the changes in reporting layouts applied last year have been accommodated so that their spreadsheet submissions are fully compliant and penalties are avoided.

Breitling Montbrillant 01 Limited by Jacques Ecrement shop Forges in Paris
Watch Breitling Montbrillant 01 Limited, 40 mm, equipped with the new calibre Breitling 01 presents Jacques Eapen, who works at Forges in Paris, one of the oldest watch retailers in the capital. A very beautiful model offered in limited series which will delight collectors and lovers of aviation chronographs.
In 1892, Léon Breitling created the workshop of watches G. Leon Breitling SA the Montbrillant Watch Factory in la Chaux de Fonds in Switzerland. The Montbrillant chronograph was named so in tribute to the factory... Montbrillant lane.
The Montbrillant 01 Limited is published 2,000 copies in steel and 200 in red gold, with individual number engraved on the caseband at 0900. A transparent Sapphire allows to Replica Rolex admire the size Breitling 01 certified chronometer by the COSC (Switzerland official chronometer control), with its column wheel and decoration Sides of Geneva on the chronograph and automatism bridges.
In 1952 was born the Navitimer Chronograph, watch-instrument equipped with a circular slide rule incorporated into the rotating bezel, indispensable tool for all aviation-related calculations. This model is intended initially for the American market and also can be found on the dial the abbreviation for AOPA (Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association), but it will very quickly become the watch of drivers around the world. Breitling was the edge of most major aviation companies meter provider.
The family Navitimer Montbrillant, from model is the most elegant aerospace Breitling chronograph. The Montbrillant 01, with a diameter of 40 mm won a millimeter in this new version with the new caliber Manufacture Breitling 01 2011. More vintage than the Navitimer and less "measuring instrument", the Montbrillant combines a sports watch with a classic watch. With its stylish silver dial and not oversized size, it can be easily worn with a suit or jeans.
Still equipped with its famous rule, here it is unobtrusive because of color silver, identical to the dial. For drivers, it always serve them to various aeronautical calculations: rates of descent and ascent, conversion of nautical miles to kilometers, fuel consumption. For others, it will make the happiness of the amateur who dreamed more young front of shop windows or in the magazines of a Breitling.
It is differentiable of the Navitimer with its monochrome dial and its inner red circle that displays time centesimal division (division of time in 100 units instead of 60). It is an elegant sport chronograph. Finally, the chronograph pushers are more flexible that previous versions... column wheel requires! In summary, it is a very beautiful model in a limited series which will delight collectors and lovers of aviation chronographs.
In the 2011 version, the Montbrillant differs from previous versions by instead of needle color steel red chronograph seconds hand. Curved case side of chronograph counters give more relief to the watch with polished triangular index bright applied as well as the B in 18-carat gold.
The new movement of chronograph Breitling 01 (47 jewels, power reserve of nearly three days, column wheel) is very successful. The calibre was decorated with Sides of Geneva. The Panerai replica different moving parts of the chronograph are polished steel. In the limited version of the Montbrillant model, the complete integration of the chronograph movement to not to exceed 13.6 mm thickness for the enclosure, including glass.
A ce offers, the domed Sapphire Crystal gives one side vintage friendly, very wide, almost flush to the edge of the bezel, it visually enlarges the watch. Side sealing, the transparent background is screwed for a better seal. However, the rotating bezel of the slide rule does not display a seal more than 30 meters for this model but is largely sufficient for daily life.
German magazine Uhren Magazin, recognized watchmaking as one of the most serious in the world, has passed through the new Chronomat B01 by Breitling in the spring last at Baselworld. This article six pages, signed by Gerhard Seelen, gives the new caliber B01, recalling the passage the advantages provided by its column wheel and vertical clutch, by the system of rapid adjustment of the date at any time, or by the patented device for self-centring of the hammers of resetting the chronograph.
But the journalist enthuses especially for the result of the accuracy of market tests performed by the magazine: the caliber works with astonishing accuracy, to the point that one has the impression that the Chronomat is equipped with a quartz movement. Read the results, it is true that performance results are superior to the official data of Breitling: "chronograph engaged, the variation is barely measurable - approximately 0.3 second per day. With the chronograph function at rest, the variation reached just 0.8 seconds - dream values".
The maximum score of 6 points attributed to the Chronomat B01 by Uhren-Magazin writing is however not due only to the performance of the movement. If the article focuses mainly on the B01 Calibre, it fails not to emphasize the quality of the design and flawless finishes of this Chronograph, which "seems to be built for eternity", as does not hesitate to write it Gerhard Seelen. And conclude in apotheosis: 'space available here is not sufficient to enumerate all the positives of the Chronomat B01.
Jean-Paul Girardin, vice-president of Breitling, does not hide his satisfaction in reading this article: "praise of Uhren-Magazin for Chronomat B01 are significant insofar as they come from a serious, neutral source, and that they are based on objective and encrypted data. As the results themselves, they are a reflection of the philosophy that has guided the design of the B01 Calibre and to give priority to the performance of the movement, that is, its reliability and accuracy.
I note finally - this is important-that the magazine welcomes the Chronomat B01 quality as a whole, not just that of the movement, but also the originality of its design, the level of its finishes and its technical characteristics. A time where the consumer withdraws into real values, I see it as an encouraging sign for the Chronomat B01, a watch-instrument designed to impose itself as the reference among the automatic chronographs.

Yes, you read that right. After being a mountain biker since high school, I'm now slowly considering getting a road bike, finally.
I think it's King's fault, or maybe it's the people at the XRC Race, which I attended this morning. Seeing the peloton spinning at forty kilometers per hour on rolling terrain made me want to join them.
I don't have the budget. Well, not yet. If ever I do decide on getting one, I'll probably start with a Shimano 105-equipped steed.
To be continued.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Feeding Tube?
A feeding tube is a tube through which you are able to receive nutritional support (food/liquid) into the stomach or intestinal tract while bypassing the mouth and throat. Any extensive surgery involving the mouth or throat will likely require the use of a feeding tube for at least a short time. During the post-operative recovery/healing process, it is important the surgical wounds are not exposed to food and liquid, which would interfere with healing and potentially lead to infection. If the swallowing mechanism is no functioning properly (there are a variety of reasons), a feeding tube may also be advised.
Can I still eat by mouth if I have a feeding tube?
Yes! Having a feeding tube does not mean you cannot eat by mouth, although you should always follow the advice of your doctor and/or SLP staff regarding how much you should be using your tube. Your SLP staff will determine what foods and how much of them you can eat safely.
If I can eat by mouth, why do I need a feeding tube?
There are many reasons a feeding tube is placed even when the patient is able to eat by mouth. In some cases, the feeding tube is placed in anticipation of needing it during the course of your cancer treatment. In many instances, the feeding tube can help supplement the patient's overall nutrition if what is eaten by mouth may not be enough to adequately nourish the patient.
Why am I being changed from an NG tube to a G-tube?
In most cases, an NG (nasogastric) tube is placed when the need for tube feeding is anticipated to be short-term. There are however, instances where the need for tube feeding appears as if will be more long-term in nature (>30 days). In these instances, placement of a g-tube is advised as this is more comfortable, can be left in place as long as necessary and is generally easier to maintain and less conspicuous. Once the g-tube is placed, the NG tube can be easily removed.
Can I shower/bathe with a G-tube or J-tube?
In most cases, you can shower 48 hours after the tube placement. Bathing is usually ok after 10 days although you must be cleared by your surgeon before bathing.
When can my G-tube be removed?
When considering G-tube removal, your doctors/SLP staff will first determine there will be no further cancer treatment and/or surgery planned that may require use of the feeding tube. Even if further treatment may be several weeks away, your G-tube will not be removed, although you may not need to use it except for daily flushing.
Once the SLP staff has determined that you are able to safely eat by mouth
enough to maintain proper nutrition/hydration,
you will be instructed on proper weaning from the feeding tube. You will be monitored to ensure you are maintaining your weight and hydration. After this is demonstrated, your feeding tube can be removed.

What I most wanted from the old textbook depository in Dallas was to stand where Lee Harvey Oswald had stood. Not that I could ever see things through his eyes. But I wanted to see what he saw.
But the window and the boxes where he propped his rifle were encased in a plexiglass barricade, and I had to be satisfied seeing Dealey Plaza from an adjacent window. An X is painted on the street below at the spot where John F. Kennedy's open car was passing when Oswald shot and killed the president.
Since the Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza opened in the old Texas Schoolbook Depository in 1989, 6 million people have visited it. I imagine that that spot before the window was the one spot where every one of those people wanted to stand. The floor is the original floor from 1901, and had to be protected, said Deborah Marine, spokeswoman for the museum. And there is the matter of the boxes, positioned to match police photographs taken immediately after the shooting. Unprotected, they would have been moved by visitors, she said.
''We do have a bank of windows adjacent where people can get a very good sense of the scene,'' she said.
True. But those windows lack the symbolism of the one that now stands behind plexiglass, and I have to wonder if protecting that symbolism and its power wasn't also a factor.
The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza houses more than 22,000 documents, photos, videos and artifacts related to the shooting and the investigations that followed. In the next week, the museum will launch a redesigned website (www.jfk.org) making many of those materials -- including the Zapruder film -- available online for the first time.
This is one in a series of postcards by Marjie Lambert, assistant Travel editor, who has been to all 50 states.

I came across an article the other day called "Dirty Little Secrets of Tidy Families", a cute set of observations from a non-tidy person about habits that seemed common to tidy people.
When I dissolved in tears of laughter at point #2 -"They surf the internet less" – I knew it was my sworn duty as a tidy-person (with borderline-internet addiction) to set the record straight.
Here are my top 10 tidy-person tips. I promise you that not one of them is "have less stuff", and you can still indulge your online addiction. We might be neat freaks but we're not freaking Amish.
Pimp your house with pretty things.
The day I decided to pimp my house was the day I finally had an incentive to keep it tidy. It wasn't always that way. I've lived in houses full of mismatching furniture and ugly blue sofas that – frankly – looked better when they were covered with piles of unfolded laundry. Once I filled my house with cool and beautiful things I wanted to keep it clean so I could admire all of it. My tidy house is a form of self-congratulatory pretension. I'm owning that.
Everything has its place. Put it there.
We live by a few simple rules here. Shoes don't get dumped wherever, laundry doesn't get piled on the dining table and random crap is not allowed to accumulate on the breakfast bar because it sends out clutter-spores at a terrifying rate. We have places for things, and that's where they go. Preferably "immediately", but "eventually" is cool too.
If a particular item doesn't have anywhere to live I do one of two things:
1) I find somewhere for it to live
2) I find somewhere ELSE for it to live. (It's brutal, but effective).
Hidden storage conceals a multitude of sins.
I used to live in a tiny 3 x 1 house with two kids, no garage and zero storage. We had to store so much stuff in the roof that I often went to bed wondering if our Christmas tree was going to come crashing through the ceiling. I'm exaggerating of course, but the principle is the same: hidden storage is the best. There is nothing more satisfying to me than neatly-stacked wardrobes. Or messy ones. Whatever. I can't see it, so I don't give a crap. You don't want to see my linen cupboard.
No hidden storage? If it's visible make it pretty.
I have a rule that I like to call "Pretty or Practical", which means that the things in my house need to be aesthetically-pleasing or useful in some way. The application of this principle goes something like this: If items are useless they need to be pretty. If items are practical they ALSO need to be pretty. I have no time for ugly things. So if I'm going to have visible storage it needs to look good – think baskets, trinket boxes or colour-coordinated options.
Neutralise known dumping grounds.
Our kitchen is a notorious dumping ground for unsightly crap. Keys, wallets, sunglasses, junk mail and an assortment of used phillips-head screws that my husband is holding onto because I don't know. Out of frustration I came up with the ingenious solution of using a bread box as an all-purpose dumping ground. He still mocks me to this day (Where's the BREAD? Hur, hur, hur…) but it works. The clutter is invisible, contained and stylishly-integrated with my kitchen decor.
Make morning and evening "quickies" a habit.
Quickies are a fantastic way to start and end the day. A twenty minute whip-around in the bedroom (and beyond) will work wonders. I can generally take my house from "Oh no!" to "showroom" in less than half an hour, as long as I make a habit of it. I have no stamina for longer sessions anyway. I'm not that turned-on by cleaning that I want to spend several hours doing it every day. That would cut into large swathes of my precious internet-surfing time.
Clear surfaces are your friend.
This one is my favourite, because it's a TOTAL CON. I make people swoon at the state of my totally unclean house by keeping surfaces clear of clutter. I literally TRICK people into thinking my house is clean. I've cultivated lots of little habits like removing shampoo bottles from the shower, storing toothbrushes in the vanity and making sure the dining table is clear. People think I'm some sort of cleaning genius, but they could actually write their name in the dust on the hall table. It's magic.
Hi ho, hi ho, we tidy as we go.
If I can't take a step without impaling myself on a piece of Star Wars Lego (SHITTHATSTUFFHURTS!!!) then I know it's time for a tidy-up.
Use the kids. If they can walk, they can work.
I know it depends on the kid. I ask my 5 year-old to put his shoes away and it can take him 40 minutes, because he gets side-tracked making Lego, eating cherry tomatoes and chasing butterflies around the backyard en-route to another completely irrelevant task. Conversely, I can issue my 3 year-old a list of six separate instructions and he will conscientiously do all of them in order before putting his older brother's shoes away and making me a pretend cup of tea.
Banish toys from
existenceliving areas.
I love my kids but I don't want their toys in every damn room of the house. Don't get me wrong, they can make a mess and play wherever they want but toys ultimately live in the bedroom and everything gets packed away at the end of the day. I want to settle in and enjoy the latest episode of Mind-Numbing Reality-TV without being menaced by the looming spectre of monster trucks, Mega Bloks and the entire cast of The Avengers. It's a house. Not a small regional franchise of Toys R Us.
Are you a tidy or a non-tidy person?
Anyone got any more hot tidy-tips for me?

Lloyd Evans
Franchisee in Kingswinsford, Halesowen and Wolverhampton, West Midlands
What made you decide to join TaxAssist?
I qualified as a chartered accountant with Ernst and Young in 1990 working primarily within their small business team. As well as gaining valuable experience in practice post-qualification, I subsequently spent more than 20 years in industry working in a number of SMEs across a variety of industry sectors.
One of these sectors was franchising with ChipsAway where I joined as finance director in 2006. I became chief executive in 2007 leading them through the acquisition of IPR, from the American originator, and the subsequent sale to a plc. I was involved in a later buyout which saw the business (along with other franchise brands) being bought into private hands.
In 2012 I moved on following a wish to build a business of my own where I had the majority stake. I was looking for something where I could use my skills and experience gained over many years. I knew the benefits of being involved with a quality franchise so I turned to that sector for my inspiration.
I looked at a variety of businesses within franchising but none of them gave me that spark, until I looked at TaxAssist! I felt I could use my experience gained from working within a professional accountancy practice, and I very much enjoyed the buzz associated with helping small businesses. Additionally, I felt I could provide added value to my clients through my experience of being involved with, and running, SMEs.
In addition, I knew of the high reputation of the management team, the strength of the brand and business model. This was supported by many awards, gained from both within and outside the franchise industry. I carried out a high level of initial research before committing to a discovery day.
After meeting the team on that day I was convinced this was the right opportunity for me – that's where the excitement and hard work really started!
How is the training and support?
The initial six-week training course was intense and helped prepare me for a life back in the accountancy practice world. I also met other like-minded people who I got to know and develop a friendship which still continues.
The initial course was as much about getting to know, and build relationships with, the support team in Norwich as it was about the technical and practical aspects of owning and operating a TaxAssist franchise.
Ongoing technical training courses are available across a variety of topics, which help to ensure technical knowledge is enhanced. This is supported by a technical helpdesk.
Marketing support has been excellent with practical guidance being available at the end of a telephone. They were particularly helpful when we were setting up the shop – first class! Since then we have picked their brains a number of times for marketing ideas and guidance.
Karl, Phil and Sarah have been particularly helpful - extremely supportive and genuine people with high levels of integrity!
What have been the highlights of being a TaxAssist Franchisee?
Working for myself with the challenges, flexibility and excitement that brings.
Being part of a team which includes our shop team, fellow franchisees and the support team in Norwich
How are things going? Have you learnt from any mistakes?
After training I moved into serviced offices, when it quickly became apparent that I needed some administration support. Sarah joined me in February 2012 initially on a part-time basis (two days per week) to provide that support. Sarah is now full-time and progressing very well through her bookkeeping exams, which I am part funding.
We moved into a shop in September 2013 and have not looked back since, another part-time employee will be joining us shortly. In October 2015 I expanded my business further by moving into a second area, Wolverhampton.
Financial and personal targets are being met; however Rome wasn't built in a day, patient growth is far better and will provide a stronger business going forward!
There is much hard work ahead for anyone staring in business and just because you join a franchise that does not mean it is any easier, however you do not have to re-invent the wheel, and you are part of a team!
What would your advice be to anyone looking to join TaxAssist?
If you have a desire to work for yourself and have an interest in small business then look no further. Ensure you carry out research about your target area and visit/speak with existing franchisees to pick their brains. During this process you should find out whether this is the business for you. Just because TaxAssist is a good business doesn't make it the right business for everyone!
What are your development and growth plans for the future?
We aim to have a multi-shop franchise but the timing and location of each shop must be right. We are building an asset for the future and with my daughter showing an interest in accountancy, who knows she may be involved at some point – time will tell!

Daily Post Tuesday Chatter is a weekly event. You can chatter about anything and everything. There are no specific rules as long as you're cool.
Looking around for a subject to chat about, I saw the above photo, when I first looked at it, it was a bit of a mystery, until I click on it and saw a larger picture of it.
A carousel ride did that bring back memories of my younger days when I was about eighteen, we went to an agriculture show which had side shows, there were hundreds of people.
My memories are of many teens, which were screaming while being toss around in the air, actually it was quite frightening.
I tried to shut the screams out of my head, they frighten me, I had never been to one before. I was going with my boy friend which turned out to be my husband of fifty-six years now, we had only known each other for a few weeks.
I wanted to feel like part of the family, as I liked him very much, he had his family with him, I didn't want to feel like a spoilsport.
After much persuading my future brother-law took me up, I was very frighten, I don't know how I wasn't sick up in the air, but I managed to keep everything down, lucky I hadn't eaten much that day because I felt so ill for about an hour after that ride.
Just a little extra, a thought I just remembered.
I did wonder at the time why my boy friend then husband now was not going for a ride with me, nobody let on, I don't know if they knew, but some forty years later I found out he was afraid of heights.
To this day nearly sixty years later I have never had another ride, no way will anybody get me back on one of those roll-a-coasters.
Have you ever had a ride on a carousel, please tell, what was your experience?

A little back story on these Blarney Stones. First, they are part of one of my fondest junior high school memories (there aren't many!). I had/have a great group of girlfriends back at old LHS. One March day, we gathered at Grandma Opal's to make Blarney Stones. Grandma Opal was Leigh's grandma, but we all claimed her. I don't remember much, but I remember laughing a lot, having so much fun with my friends, thinking Opal was one cool grandma, and that Blarney Stones are the perfect combination of a sickeningly sweet, salty bite. Sweet Opal passed away this year, and Leigh sent me a photocopy of the recipe in Opal's writing. What a treasure!
Well, I needed Opal today. Maybe on that day we didn't really help much, and just watched her make them for us. Maybe the recipe leaves a little too much room for interpretation. Maybe my two little helpers interrupted the process too many times. I don't know - but they're not just like I remembered. No matter though. I baked with my babes, remembered a sweet lady, and good times with dear friends, and sampled enough that I have a little belly ache. And, I'm not embarrassed to take them to work.
Now, I'm left wondering. Who will be the Grandma Opal in my girls' life? Who will I be a Grandma Opal to? And, isn't it funny how some experiences just stick with you? I can probably count on one hand the number of times I was in Opal's home - but I think they were each noteworthy.

text: SA's off-road riders will return to Patensie in the Eastern Cape's Gamtoos Valley to tackle the Liquorland National Winterberg Enduro, the fifth and penultimate round of the 2014 series.The event will take place on Saturday (September 6 2014) as riders aim to bag maximum points in various class championships.It will also be interesting to see if the defending title holder and E1 (200cc) champion Wade Young (KTM) will add a fourth victory to his list or if 'The Winterberg' will crown a new race winner.E1 – E2 CLASSYoung leads Altus de Wet (Husqvarna) in the overall standings by 11 points (De Wet claimed three consecutive E2 Open Class victories and overall runner-up positions). The only other race winner so far in 2014, Louwrens Mahoney (KTM), is 13 points behind De Wet. All three riders have won 'The Winterberg' before.KTM team mates, Scott Bouverie and Travis Teasdale, are five points behind Mahoney. Bouverie has moved to the E2 class in 2014 and despite an injury, he trails Mahoney by only one point in the E2 Championship while Teasdale is further behind (14 points) Young in the E1 Championship.Kenny Gilbert (Yamaha) has fallen behind in points after experiencing mechanical issues at the previous event. He is now sixth overall (six points behind the two KTM team mates) and only three points ahead of this own team mate, Brett Swanepoel.Swanepoel is third in E1 and trails Teasdale by four points.E2 BATTLE HEATS UPBlake Gutzeit (Husqvarna) might not be able to beat his team mate (De Wet) at the top of the E2 Championship, he is aiming to better his eighth place overall and can pick up a place or two in E2 (he is fifth in the class).Yamaha team mates, Charan Moore and Tim Young currently fill sixth and ninth respectively in E2 while Nick Wade (Yamaha) is seventh followed by Roan Lindsay (Yamaha) and Dwayne Kleynhans (KTM) rounding off the top 10 in E2.Wade's team mate, James Hodson, is fifth in E1, a single point behind Brett Lewis (Husqvarna). Lewis, Hodson and Brandon Warwick-Oliver (Honda) are separated by only two points and there will be no room for error if they would like to keep the current status quo.Louw Schmidt (KTM) is seventh in E1 (five points behind the Honda rider) with Henco Botha (KTM) on a high after a great result at the Lydenburg event and is two points behind Schmidt. Kyle Flanagan (KTM) is currently ninth in E1 but will not be in action due to a broken collar bone.Kyle Erasmus (Yamaha) can move past him – and so can former champion, Marc Torlage (Proudly Bidvest Yamaha) who is back in action after injuries and currently three points behind Erasmus in 11th place.Although the overall positions are only used to determine the race numbers for 2014, it will be interesting to see how the current standings will shape-up following the National Winterberg Enduro.Lewis has dropped from 10th to 11th after the Lydenburg race and is five points behind Hodson in 10th while Warwick-Oliver trails Lewis by a mere point. Kleynhans is 13th (he did not score points at the Ashton National Enduro) – four points behind Warwick-Oliver and four points ahead of Botha who share the same points with Torlage and Schmidt.SENIOR CLASSIt looks like defending Senior Class Champion, William 'Wild Will' Gillitt (Yamaha Racing) is in control after claiming three victories so far this season and leading the standings. He isn't safe yet as four runner-up results for Hilton Hayward (Yamaha) puts him only seven points behind the multiple champion.Bruce May (Yamaha) – the only other winner in 2014 – is again only seven points behind Hayward and a spell of poor luck for any of the top three, can result in a major shake-up. May has a comfortable breathing space to Gillitt's team mate, Stephen Landman, in fourth while it seems that Jody Engelbrecht might keep his fifth place even though he has not entered the Winterberg event.The off-road competitor and former winner of the Castrol Winterberg Enduro, Juan 'Bollie' van Rooyen (KTM) has also entered. It will be his first national enduro in 2014. Van Rooyen leads the Senior Class in the national off-road championship after four victories.MASTER CLASSIn the Master Class Championship, multiple Castrol Winterberg Enduro winner (he has won it ten times) and former champion, Alfie Cox (KTM) will again tackle this event after many years.He might not be able to win it again as competitors in the Senior and Master Classes do not complete the full race distance but Cox will aim for his fifth consecutive victory in 2014. He is on his way to topple multiple Master Class Champion, Denzil Torlage (Yamaha) from a throne he has occupied since the inception of the Master Class Championship in 2010.Shaun Kirk (Beta Liqui Moly) is currently third after four consistent fourth places but he will have to keep an eye on Garth Prost (Husqvarna) who is only one point behind him in fourth place. Richard Cunniffe (Yamaha) is not safe in fifth place either as he is only two points ahead of Gary Franks (Husqvarna) who is only two points ahead of Carl Rohrbeck (KTM) with Eric Alcaraz a mere four points further behind.HIGH SCHOOL CLASSThe High School Class Championship has received a healthy amount of entries, but the battle to watch will be class leader, Chayse Orsmond (KTM) and Eduan Bester (KTM). Both youngsters have claimed two victories each and only two points separate them.Dean Lindsay's (Yamaha) season did not start well, but two runner-up results put him in third place with Carl-Reinhardt Cronje fourth and Orsmond's team mate, Daniel van Zyl, rounding off the top five.SILVER CLASS CHALLENGEDylan Barker (Yamaha) has continued his clean sweep in the Silver Class Challenge with a fourth consecutive victory at Lydenburg while second-placed Sage McGregor (KTM) has had some trouble and could not finish on the podium for the first time in 2014.He has however kept his second place in the standings but he is only three points ahead of the Bloemfontein scholars, Behan Boshoff (KTM) and Christiaan Greeff (KTM) in third and fourth respectively.RACE DETAILSThe National Winterberg Enduro consists of two loops covering a total of 91km. There will be three Special Stages – 2.5km; 3km and a third 6km stage.E1 and E2 competitors will post their fastest race times during nine Special Stages. All the action will happen from the Patensie Citrusfees Stoor (33'45.329 S, 24'48.626 E) in Patensie.Click here for more information

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has been a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump, and he recently had some strong words about the liberals who have been protesting against Trump's illegal-immigration policies.
On Fox News' "The First 100 Days" segment, Huckabee commended Trump for keeping his campaign promise to crack down on illegal immigration — something millions of Americans elected him to do.
The strong opposition that many on the left have demonstrated toward the president's "common sense" immigration policies was simply "manufactured outrage," the outspoken conservative charged.
Advertisement - story continues below
The idea of "fake outrage" among liberal groups has been common lately, as they have staged protests against Trump in order to create the impression that there is widespread grassroots opposition to the president. Trump himself has even tweeted about the "so-called angry crowds" that have been purposely and strategically placed in certain places across the country by liberal activists who "planned" the protests:

TRENDING: Conservative Artist Builds Epic Trump Display in Yard, Opponents Should Think Twice Before Vandalizing
Supporting the idea that this outrage was "manufactured" by liberals, Huckabee argued that the immigration laws Trump has been enforcing were already the laws of our country before he took office but simply weren't being enforced under President Barack Obama's administration.
"Nothing all that different is being done except enforcing the law," he explained, "especially on those who are breaking the law by committing violent acts."
Advertisement - story continues below
Through that enforcement, Trump has been ensuring that our country remains a safe and prosperous place to live.
"Do you lock your doors at night when you go to bed? Of course you do," Huckabee said. "Why? Because we don't know who's going to come through those doors."
By enforcing federal immigration laws and increasing border security, Trump was simply "locking America's doors at night" to keep our people safe.
"If you'd like to come in, knock (on) the door. We'll come to the door. But just like in every neighborhood, we don't open the door and invite everyone in who knocks on the door," Huckabee said. "We'll check these folks out. We'll see."

We discovered that even in winter, it's difficult to find stovepipe and chimney pieces in Texas. We found everything we needed, but only after visiting several stores and buying an expensive five-piece kit from which we only needed two pieces. Why these things aren't sold separately I'll never know.
We spent the following day installing it, which went fairly smoothly since part of the chimney was already in place. By mid-afternoon the stove was burning, and just in time too, since a cold front came through and we're now looking at a couple of days of freezing rain. The warmth feels downright luxurious now. I'm already amazed at how well it works. Even though the stove is on the opposite end of the house, I got up this morning and the kitchen was even warm! Finally, it feels fairly civilized in here. Working at my desk without a hat and coat on is quite a novelty. The dogs seem to like it too, they're having trouble getting out of bed today. :)

Oh lovely, lovely stove!ReplyDelete
If you haven't already, get a kettle or pan full of water, fill it up, and on top of the stove. Wood heat tends to dry out the air and you'll be more comfortable with a DIY humidifier in the house.
Already done!ReplyDelete
Hi Tara,ReplyDelete
That's so cool! How did you go about choosing that particular stove? Was it anything particular about it? I'd love to hear how it works out for you - maintenance and upkeep, etc.
How's the menagerie?
Happy (belated) holidays and new year!
Lewru- I put up a post to answer your question. The menagerie is great, and surprise, surprise - the two ducks that took to the pond came back to the house today. The four of them had an amusing little duck reunion - they were out in the yard just yaking up a storm!ReplyDelete
Ooh, I'm jealous! You've got yours going. Ours is still out in the garage...ReplyDelete
Beautiful. We're also looking into stoves, as we save up for it. Here in central New England it gets cooold... We have oil heating but I don't like to rely on it exclusively. My question was: did you install it yourself? If not, what was the cost of the installation? And if so, does installing it yourself require special skills?ReplyDelete

text: At the risk of sounding really odd, I have to say: I LOVE winter! (especially when it comes to fashion...) I can't think of anything better than stepping out in bright and beautiful coats, scarves, gloves, boots, leggings, beanies, and all things cute and warm. This season, the colours are looking rich and luxurious! - but remember: don't forget to experiment with your fashion! Try mixing prints and be playful with textures like fur and leather. I'm also looking forward to accessorising like crazy these next few months and I took a little time to pick out some fabulous runway and street-style winter outfits that I'm sure you'll all love!

My Opponent Claims I Agree with Obama 100%. Is this True?
Just what did I say about Obama?
See the picture below of the mailer and the newspaper article he is referencing.
You can also watch my answer for yourself. Below is a short 2 minute video link from the debate which the paper was quoting.
Distortions like this turn America off to politics and politicians. Is this lack of integrity what you expect from a candidate for state representative? It's time to end negative politics and return trust to government. Vote Integrity. Vote Nino Vitale May 6th.
Click the images for a larger view and scroll down for the newspaper article and video of what I actually said.
See what I said for yourself in this 2 minute video.
See what Ohio Conservative Review has to say about Doug Chamberlain and politics at its worst.
...Our leaders should be above reproach–in morals and in messaging.
Right now these sophomores and thousands of other Ohioans are waking up to another stroke of irony. The "Honorable" Doug Chamberlain, a family court judge and career lawyer, has let slip the dogs of war against frontrunner Nino Vitale with two flagrantly dishonest ad hominem attacks.
These attacks are the very essence of desperation and dishonor. That they fly the banner of a family court judge–an applier of the law regarding society's most vital institution–is saddening and disturbing....(read more)
My opponent claims I cannot be trusted because I have changed my name.
Has my name changed and why?
My mother married a Vietnam veteran at a very young age. Their marriage only lasted 4 years due to his drug and alcohol problems after the war. My mom then married a man with the last name Blanch; he adopted me and changed my name. Later, they too divorced.
Then I received information from a grandmother that our family name had been changed at Ellis Island. I changed my name to Brangato based on this information---which unfortunately turned out to be incorrect.
When Lilli and I got married, we wanted a true family name for our children and this inspired us to change our name to Vitale, my mother's maiden name.
None of this was done in secret and is all a matter of public record. My mother is a strong woman who has fought through much adversity, and I am proud to bear her name---Vitale. Her struggles may be why I am such an outspoken advocate for strong families and the importance of both mothers' and fathers' involvement in their children's lives.
Something else you might like to know, the state of Ohio has a rigorous background check process to become a foster family. The state of Ohio approved our family after this long study and has trusted us to care for the children of others.
I love my mother for all she has done and I am is trusted by the state of Ohio Foster System with others' children.
You too can trust me with your vote.
Doug Chamberlain's criticism of my childhood and family decisions, and his twisting of this in a mass mailer, is unbecoming of a prior family court judge. It is an example of why people are turned off by politics.
I am running to restore the public trust, strengthen families, and make government more responsive to the people and smarter with taxpayer dollars.
Nino Vitale
Vote Integrity. Vote Nino Vitale May 6th.

Lately my newsfeeds and Pinterest pages are overloaded with pumpkin recipes.
Who knew you could do so many things with pumpkin puree? Has pumpkin always been this popular and I just didn't know it? The only memory I have of pumpkin pie in my youth is the occasional dull brown-colored pumpkin pie that showed up at covered-dish church gatherings. We never had it at family gatherings, not even at Thanksgiving.
Steve, on the other hand, had pumpkin pie at every Thanksgiving meal he could remember. Since Steve was raised in the North, I wondered if pumpkin pies were a Northern thing. It turns out that they were prior to the Civil War. It was only when Abraham Lincoln made Thanksgiving a national holiday (which the Confederacy saw as "a way to impose Yankee traditions on the South") that pumpkin pies began to show up on Southern tables. Apparently my ancestors didn't get the memo about the pies!
Libby started selling canned pumpkin in 1929 and making a pumpkin pie got a whole lot easier, but the pies were still relegated to November and December celebrations. While pumpkin recipes saw a slight rise in the early '60s, it wasn't until 2003 that pumpkin became a fall icon, thanks to Starbucks introducing its Pumpkin Spice Latte. Since then, pumpkin spice and pumpkin recipes have soared to new heights. Yes, a coffee drink that, up to 2015, didn't even have pumpkin in it, is why pumpkin recipes are dominating my social media.
I'll confess that I'm not enamored with pumpkin pie, so it was hard for me to step out and try other pumpkin recipes. Thankfully, one of the chefs at the restaurant had me try a couple of pumpkin desserts. I really liked them, but was perplexed. I thought all pumpkin tasted the same? It turns out I like pumpkin - but I don't like pumpkin pie spice. Pumpkin pie spice, in my humble opinion, is too earthy for dessert. I also have a problem with purchasing a spice that is only used two or three months out of the year, but that's another column altogether. I keep everything that is in pumpkin pie spice in my cabinet, so I just mix my own in the amount needed for the dish. The recipe I use is light on the allspice and nutmeg and heavier on the cinnamon side. It still gives that "pumpkin smell" to the dish, but it doesn't overpower the other ingredients.
After tasting a few pumpkin desserts, I decided to try to make a few of my own. The recipes below are adapted from recipes from Pinterest. Unfortunately, they are all posted multiple times by different people, which makes it impossible to give credit to for the original recipe. As the preacher said "there is nothing new under the sun" so I'll just thank Libby's and McCormick (the first company that produced pumpkin spice) for making it so easy to prepare and enjoy pumpkin!

Separate each biscuit into 2 layers, to make total of 16 thin biscuits. Brush biscuits with melted butter and drizzle each biscuit with caramel. Spread pumpkin mixture evenly all over the biscuits. Stack biscuits into 4 separate piles. Place stacks in loaf pan on their side, making sure ends touching pan don't have filling on them. Drizzle some caramel over top and sprinkle with pecans. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until loaf is deep golden brown and center is baked through.
*I used Smucker's salted caramel. You can find it with the ice cream toppings.

The United States government is the largest funder of worldwide health research and development, accounting for 45 percent of total global investment.
A report recently issued by the Global Health Technologies Coalition and Policy Cures found that the U.S. government has spent $12.7 billion over the past decade on global health related research and development, according to UPI.
Seventy percent of total government investment on global health research and development throughout the world in the last decade has come from the United States, leading to the creation of more than half of the 45 new health products in the last decade that have been used to save lives around the globe, including new vaccines, drugs and diagnostics.
In the last 10 years the U.S. government has more than doubled its annual commitment to new global health products, up from $685 million in 2000 to $1.4 billion in 2010. This investment in global health research and development accounts for 0.01 percent of the U.S. gross domestic product, UPI reports.
Federal agencies are currently working with partners in the non-profit, private, philanthropic and academic spheres in order to support the continued development of 200 of the approximately 365 global health related products considered to be in the pipeline for further development. Many of these will become the next generation of lifesaving vaccines, drugs and diagnostic tools, according to the report.

Heavy Duty
Medium Duty
Locked Out
If You Need an Emergency Towing Company in Mesa – Call Us
The city of Mesa has some of the busiest streets and roadways in the whole of Arizona. Thousands of vehicles pass by Center Street everyday to get to school or work in the Metropolitan Area. Major freeways like the I-40 and Superstition Freeway are used by interstate travellers for both business and leisure. Without a doubt, vehicles come and go every second in the bustling city of Mesa. But with this high influx of vehicles, there is also a higher chance for vehicular accidents.
Every driver knows that no matter how carefully he maintains his car, there is always the possibility that it will break down. The Arizona Department of Transportation reports vehicular related accidents on a daily basis. These range from small fender benders to full on collisions that render your car immobile. In such emergency situations, Central Towing of Mesa is here to provide you with the assistance you need.
We provide light, medium, and heavy duty towing. Whether you are driving a passenger car, commercial vehicle, RV, diesel truck, or motor home, we will help you. We even cater to motorcycles. We will tow your vehicle if it breaks down or you get into an accident. We will bring your vehicle to the nearest repair shop or to one of your choice. We will make sure your car is up and running before we leave you. Aside from towing, what else can be considered as emergencies?
An emergency is any type of unexpected and dangerous event that requires immediate action. In the case of vehicular emergencies, it does not need to be life threatening. Getting stuck on the side of the road is considered an emergency. It prevents you from going about the rest of your day. It is an incredible hassle especially if you are on the way to school or work. We at Central Towing are here to make sure you get back on the road as soon as possible.
We provide a range of emergency services including vehicle lockouts. That's right, being locked out of your vehicle constitutes as an emergency situation. We provide gas service, jump starts, and battery charging. Our expert staff are professionally trained and use high quality equipment. On top of this, they are friendly and courteous. Customer care is our top priority so we will make the situation as least stressful for you.
The most important advantage Central Towing has is that we provide 24/7 emergency towing. You never know when you're going to need towing services. It could be at 3 in the morning in the middle of the desert with no one around to help you. Nevertheless, we are always here to help you. Just save our number on your phone and dial it whenever you need. Do not worry about payment because we pride ourselves for having affordable prices. The next time you get into an emergency, you will immediately feel better knowing that we are only one call away.
