VMware and PowerShell
I'm from the pre-WIMP era, like in pre Windows, Icons, Mouse, Pointers. There wasn't anything like a graphical user interface. Even when they emerged like Norton Commander and PC Tools I still did most of my work from the commandline. Stuff like 4DOS enriched my life so I could get the most out of the commandline.
I still try to do most of my stuff from commandline. I'm very happy that companies like Microsoft see that there are more people that want to do their stuff from that commandline. Hence PowerShell. PowerShell can do some great tricks like doing an action on all servers in your infrastructure with one line of code.
With the VI Toolkit (for Windows) you can manage your virtual infrastructure with PowerShell
The VI PowerShell blog has got a lot of very interesting scripts for you to use. From a script that gives you the size of snapshots to a complete documenting script.
You can find the blog here: http://blogs.vmware.com/vipowershell/
The PowerShell Code Repository also has some interesting scripts at http://poshcode.org/?lang=posh&q=vmware
Eric Sloof also has some interesting PowerShell scripts on his site at http://www.ntpro.nl/blog/categories/10-VMware-PowerShell
If you know more sites with PowerShell scripts for VMware please let me know.

All kinds of madness today about whether Alley Broussard had quit the team. Dandy Don got some information, which turned out to be wrong. He LATER mentioned that he had earlier gotten accurate information that Alley had quit, when in fact he hadn't quit. Wouldn't that make the earlier information inaccurate? Only with Dandy can hindsight not be 20/20, I guess. Anyway, Tiger Smack has been on it today. And I'm totally with him - I really couldn't care less at this point if Alley left. He had some good times with the program, but at this point I'd rather we let the freshmen (Scott and Williams) get a head start on the next three years, since it's not like we're contending for a national title in any event.
Oh, the perils of being a white running back. Kudos, Jacob Hester. Kudos.
The folks over at CBS Sportsline currently think we'll be in the Outback vs Penn State. I still can't get over the Pac 10's #2 team getting a date on Dec 28 in the Holiday Bowl. How can that conference not do a better job of getting bowls than that? I think Cal is playing unbelievably well right now after a shell-shocked opening to the season at Tennessee, and I think they'll beat a surprisingly mortal USC team pretty comfortably in a few weeks.
Since the world has been asked not to call it "The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party" anymore, EDSBS gives their take on things.
Non-Tigers, but you know what would be awesome? Georgia. Texas. Opening week 2007. Dawg Sports and Burnt Orange Nation are all over it, pounding the respective ADs with requests.
So as you can probably tell, ATVS is part of a much broader network of sports blogs, and as we're growing, I'd like to send out a request for readers to take this quick survey on behalf of the network here. Thanks in advance!

Hello –
I had a final round interview with a big 4 company yesterday morning (skype).
I thought it went very well so I do have my hopes up BUT today I got an email from the recruiter that they will be in touch with me with the results in the next 2 weeks.
If the results are successful, doesn't the firm call you within 2-3 days instead of sending a notification email, thanking me for completing the interview and that they will be in touch with me in 2 weeks? Could this possibly be a recruiter email sent out to all the candidates who interviewed yesterday?

Living on Mars without spacesuits could be possible one day, which is why astronomers need to gather as much information as possible about the Red Planet. NASA's Curiosity rover arrived there nine years ago, in August 2012, and it still has a lot to show to the world about our neighbouring planet.
According to CNN, NASA's spacecraft just spotted shining clouds above the surface of Mars. Furthermore, the clouds appear as they are sprinkled with some colours. The sighting is amazing, at least for the fact that the Red Planet has a dry atmosphere, making it difficult for clouds to form.
"If you see a cloud with a shimmery pastel set of colors in it, that's because the cloud particles are all nearly identical in size," explained Mark Lemmon, a scientist with the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colorado. "That's usually happening just after the clouds have formed and have all grown at the same rate.
"I always marvel at the colors that show up: reds and greens and blues and purples," Lemmon added. "It's really cool to see something shining with lots of color on Mars."
Almost ten years have passed
Curiosity is a rover the size of a car that was designed to mainly explore the Red Planet's Gale crater. The rover is part of the Mars Science Laboratory mission of NASA. Curiosity was released into Cosmos on November 26, 2011, from Cape Canaveral at 15:02:00 UTC. The touchdown occurred on Aeolis Palus inside Gale crater from Mars.
Among the rover's goals, there's an investigation of the Martian geology and climate to see if the field inside Gale has ever offered environmental conditions for supporting microbial life.

Book Review: The Steps of the Sun, by Walter Tevis
Count me as a Walter Tevis fan now. I enjoyed The Steps of the Sun quite a bit. I read The Man Who Fell to Earth about fifteen years ago, but didn't know anything about Walter Tevis or his other books until recently, when these things started coming to my attention on Goodreads. I'd like to read Mockingbird. The Steps of the Sun showed up in the used section of the bookshop I frequent first though, and some quirkiness about the cover art, the synopsis, or the by-line ("Can one man save a PLANET? Can one planet save a MAN?") spoke to me, and I decided it was time to read some more Tevis.
Glad I did, because it really exceeded my expectations. Walter Tevis is a very thoughtful writer with a writing style that has an easy flow to it. He writes great characters. He's not so good at predicting the future, but the main character's thoughts are so fun to follow that anachronisms in the setting are overshadowed. We grant, this could happen in a universe somewhere‥ maybe‥ -ish.
The comparison that comes to mind most readily for this book is with C.J. Cherryh. Like so much of Cherryh's work, Tevis puts you square in the mind of an imperfect person struggling with an imperfect world and takes you through every step of this person's emotional journey. In The Steps of the Sun, we follow someone who is difficult to like, but very human, so identifiable. Ben Belson is a very macho guy's guy, and for as common of a hero trope as that may be, I can't think of many other books with this kind of main character, who also had such a rich emotional life. He can also kick ass when given half a chance.
I will definitely be keeping this book in my collection, as it is unique in the wider world of science fiction. It will be the kind of thing I recommend to people looking for more from science fiction than aliens and whizbang technology. And I'll definitely be reading more Walter Tevis.

When program based budgeting is implemented successfully it can provide significant improvements in improving economic governance. It provides a straightforward mechanism by which a government can, on an informed basis, make decisions about the efficacy of the allocation of its scarce resources and determine whether policy objectives are being met or not. It however represents a substantial increase in budgetary management sophistication with particular challenges to budget implementation especially for developing countries typified by capacity constraints, weak financial networks and highly centralized public administrations with long expenditure management pathways. Clearly successful program based budgeting implementation requires a minimum threshold of public finance management performance and economic governance. The risks associated with implementing program based budgeting are mitigated by adopting a carefully sequenced approach to reform. Three main sequencing phases are identified. The first phase seeks to strengthen basic Public Finance Management (PFM) performance. The second phase seeks to create an enabling context for the implementation of the core PBB functions. This phase is guided by a process of enhancing performance informed budgeting. The third phase introduces the core Program Based Budgeting (PBB) functions. The sequencing of which is guided by PFM functional linkages.
In this course Program Based Budgeting implementation is carefully considered and full guidance provided for the establishment of the PFM performance re-requistes for successful implmentation of PBB. A sample of countries that have successfully implemented program based budgeting as well as ones currently grappling with undertaking reforms are reviewed, analysed and discussed. The course provides particpants with insights and approaches for linking sector strategies to budget formulation and in turn linking budget formulation to budget execution along with financial accounting and reporting under a PBB regime set up within a developing country context. The Medium Term Expenditure Framework is introduces as the means by which medium term sector strategies are translated into policy based budgetary implmentation.
Course name:
This professional development workshop is particularly suitable for budget directors and officersn as well as for officials and consultants designing and developing budgatry reforms.
The course assumes that particpants have a broad knowledge ogf public finance management and have familairity with all of the steps within the budget cycle. Idilmat's Foundations of Public Finance Management or the Introduction to Public Finance Management - A Developing Country Context serve as excellent preparation for the course.

In this article we will have a look at how you can create a sticky table of contents on your website, using Thrive Architect.
It's a simple and easy to follow process, so keep on reading this article to find out how to do that.
Add the 'Table of Contents'
Open with Thrive Architect the page or post on which you want to add your "Table of Contents" element.
Load a predefined page template or start from an entirely blank canvas. For this example, I'll use an already existing landing page template:
Next, open the right sidebar and look for the "Table of Contents" element:
Drag and drop it onto your canvas where you best see fit:
You'll next have to pick a template:
And after you do that, you can start customizing it using the left sidebar list of options:
I only want the H5 headings from my page to appear in the table of contents.
If you want to check the heading type for the text you want to appear in the table of contents, simply select that text and check the information in the inline formatting panel:
In order to display only the H5 type of headings in my table of contents, I'll have to tick the corresponding box in the "Headings" section and then click on "Update table":
This is how the table of contents looks after I've updated it:
As you can see, it now only shows the H5 headings from my page.
You can continue making all kinds of changes and adjustments on your "Table of Contents" element, using the left sidebar options. Don't hesitate to also check out the dedicated article we have in our knowledge base:
Enable the 'Sticky Behavior'
Next, let's see the steps for making the element sticky. This behavior means that the element will continue to be in viewport even though you scroll past it, to an area where the element would be visible anymore.
Look for the "Scroll Behavior" section of the left sidebar:
Expand it and you will see the "Sticky" option, that you can click on:
Here's where you can configure the sticky behavior for the "Table of Contents":
As you can see, you can decide on which devices you want to have the sticky table of contents, as well as on which side of the screen - the top of bottom.
For this example, I'll configure it as it follows: I want it to be visible on all devices, to stick to the top part of the screen, and to keep this behavior until it reaches another element from my page:
I will have to assign an ID to that element, so that the table of contents identifies it and knows when to stop the sticky behavior:
For this example, I want to show the table of contents only until the users scrolls past the list of H5 headings that are also shown in it. And the next element that comes after them, is this icon:
Assigning an 'Element ID'
Go ahead and click on the element to select it, and then, in the left sidebar, open the "HTML Attributes" section:
Once you expand it, you will notice the "ID" field where you can input the element ID:
Type in the ID that you want:
Now select once more your table of contents, access again the "Scroll Behavior" options and type in the same "Element ID" in the corresponding field:
The only thing left to do now is save and preview your page and have a look at how your table of contents interacts with the other elements from your page, with the sticky behavior applied to it:
And that's that! This is how easily you can create a sticky table of contents, using the "Table of Contents" element and the "Scroll Behavior" feature in Thrive Architect.
If you enjoyed reading this article, then you should know that we have may more of this type available in our knowledge base.
Hopefully this tutorial has proven to be useful to you. Don't hesitate to rate it with a smile below, if that was the case :)

TANG Art Foundation is proud to announce the opening of "Michael Zelehoski: Dimensionality" on August 7, 2021. This show features a collection of works by the New York-based artist Michael Zelehoski. The series observed a visual process by deconstructing the character of mundane objects, using time-worn material that manifests and reassemble them in pictorial space seamlessly.
"When we interact with each other, there are some imperative to transform the material, or to channel it… into some other dimensionality, in my case, literal dimensionality." — Michael Zelehoski
Organic material is an element that Michael Zelehoski interacted with in his work. Wood, a material that usually being used in making daily objects, such as furniture, construction, barricades, boxes, and crates. It carried the function and obligation that society applies; the character of the wood is instantly aware when it is seeing. Zelehoski's work is an attempt to re-structure the character by observation. By channeling a context where the re-purposing can be seen:
"What if the reality that we think is not really what we think?"
The tangible changes of the virtual world were abandoned by society with repetitively applying definitions. The narrow conscious is constantly looping and cycling. In order to perceive the world, our eyes must navigate an increasingly crowded visual field with ever-changing depth and perspective. To distill a single object, to really see it for what it is, a surprisingly daunting proposition.
Objects are manifest. They don't have to mean anything. Still, there are silent narratives at play and inevitably, through subjective associations. As old contexts of objects are obliterated, the beauty of their objecthood is highlighted, giving them a new order and coherence. Like Donald Judd and other artists associated with Minimalism, Zelehoski activates the relationship between object and space on an aesthetic level. But paradoxically, he is depriving objects of their spatial autonomy and physical integrity.
He avoids the standardized production commonly associated with Minimalism, a glance of a more intuitive process that derives organic stories from inorganic industrial materials. Zelehoski established a connection into the physical world, where consciousness is aware.

You will get error code F21 on your Whirlpool Duet washer when the unit is taking too long to drain. Being a drainage problem, you need to inspect the drain hose for kinks or clogs that may be locking the flow of water. You may also get this error when you use the wrong detergent on the front load washer.
You may also get this error code on your washer when the drain pump is not working or the drain pump filter is clogged. However, it may also be triggered by a minor glitch on the circuit board of the washer. As such, it is advisable to first reset the Whirlpool front load washer to clear the error code.
If the error resurfaces after your have reset the machine, you can use the methods discussed in this guide to troubleshoot and fix it.
In proper working condition, the Whirlpool Duet washer should drain in less than 8 minutes. If it takes longer than that, the Whirlpool Duet washer error code F21 will be triggered. In most cases, the error code man's that something is blocking the normal flow of water down the drain hose.
To fix the problem, you should first reset the washer to clear the error. If it reappears after resetting, you need to check the drain hose, and filter for clogs and remove them. Using the wrong detergent on the washer can also trigger error code F21 due to excessive formation of suds.
Be sure to use the recommended high-efficiency (HE) detergent only. If none of these is the problem, you should have the drain pump diagnosed and replaced, if faulty.
What Causes the Whirlpool Duet Washer Error Code 21?
Washing machine error code, including error code F21, are often triggered by a glitch within the Whirlpool washer circuit board. In such a case, resetting the machine will clear the error code form display. Error code F21 can also point to a problem within the drain system.
Here are some of the things that are known to trigger the Whirlpool washer error code F21:
Improper Installation
If the washer was recently installed or moved, the problem is more likely to be Improper Installation. As you are aware, different requirements need to be met while choosing the location and installing the washing machine. If the drain hose was not installed properly, it could hinder drainage from the washer.
For instance, installing the drain hose higher than 96″ from the floor can lead to siphoning. This hinders smooth flow of water from the machine, hence triggering error code F21.
Drain Hose Blockage
Due to accumulation of lint along the drain hose and on the drain pump filter, you should expect the drain system to clog occasionally. This is actually the leading cause of the Whirlpool Duet washer error code F21. To restore it to it's working condition, you need to clear the clog(s) and clean the drain system.
In cold weather, water may freeze in the drain hose, hindering the flow of water. It is also possible for kinks to develop along the drain hose due to vibrations. This can also trigger the F21 error code.
Clogged Drain Pump Filter
The drain pump filter is installed along the drainage system to filter dirt and debris, especially flint, so that it does not get into the pump. Accumulation of flint, forth and debris on this filter—which is normal—will naturally slow the flow of drain water or block it altogether.
This will, in turn, trigger error code F21 on your Whirlpool Duet washer. In this case, you need to remove the filter and clean it thoroughly to allow for free flow of drain water.
Drain Pump Issues
Whirlpool Washer drain pumps are designed to offer extended durability. Before you rush to replace yours, first check its wiring for damage or loose connection. Inspect the wire harness and wiring connecting the pump to other components, such as the central control unit (CCU) and the pressure switch.
Next, you should diagnose the pressure switch itself as a malfunction can also trigger error code F21. If none of these seem to be the problem, you can have the whirlpool washer drain pump diagnosed and replaced, if need be.
Using the Wrong Detergent
Almost all the Whirlpool front load washer models require you to use high-efficiency (HE) detergents. Using the wrong type of detergent on the machine may result in excessive suds formation during the wash cycle.
The excess suds will then accumulate on the drain system and slow, or stop the flow of drain water. Using too much detergent will also have a similar effect. For instance, the concentrated detergents labeled 2x and higher only require a small amount of detergent—depending on the current load size.
If you happen to have used the wrong or excess detergent on your Whirlpool Duet washer, just empty the washer, run a Rinse/ Spin cycle, and then run the Normal cycle without any detergent. This will clear the system of the excess detergent and suds that may have formed as a result.
How to Fix the Whirlpool Duet Washer F21 Error Code
Before getting started on trying to fix your appliance, remember it's always best to contact professionals who specialize in fixing Whirlpool's washers in order to make sure you are not causing more harm than good. The cost of a home warranty can ensure you're getting the best service provided for your home appliances.
As mentioned earlier in this guide, the F21 error code on Whirlpool Duet washers may be triggered by a glitch on the Central Control Unit (CCU). This can happen even when the drain system is working as it should. To rule this cause out, you need to clear the error code from the display.
Here is how you can clear the Whirlpool Duet washer error code F21:
Step 1: Start the Duet washer then press the Pause/ Cancel button. In some Whirlpool washer models, you may need to press the Pause/ Cancel button twice to clear the error from the display.
If this does not clear error F21 from the display, proceed to the following steps to hard reset the Whirlpool Duet washer.
Step 2: Turn the washer off, disconnect its power cord from the outlet socket, and let it sit unplugged for about 15 minutes. This allows the capacitors to drain any charge they may be holding this resetting the machine.
Step 3: Plug the washer back into the outlet socket and power it on by pressing the Start button. Having reset the machine, error code F21 should disappear from the display, at least temporarily. Now re-select the cycle and press the Start button the control panel.
If it comes back, then it is not just a CCU glitch, but a more serious issue that needs to be addressed right away. In such a case, here are some of the methods and steps you can use diagnose and fix Whirlpool Duet error code F21:
Method 1:Check Whether the Drain Hose is Installed Properly
If you are getting error F21 on a washer that was recently installed or moved, the problem could be poor installation of the drain hose. If you took time to read the user manual that come with your Whirlpool Duet washer, you should have seen the installation requirements.
If the drain hose on your washer does not meet the minimum requirements, as stipulated by the user manual, it is more likely to cause drainage issues. If it happens to slow the drain water flow rate, it is likely to result in error F21 sooner or later. The drain system for your washer should be installed using a wall standpipe, floor drain, a floor standpipe, or a laundry tub.
To avoid siphoning in either case, only 41⁄2″ of the drain hose should be in the standpipe, and should be secured properly using cable ties. You can use whichever drain system that suits your needs, but the installation requirements for each are different, as elaborated:
Floor Standpipe Installation Requirements
If you choose to install a floor standpipe drain system for your Whirlpool Duet washer, the standpipe should be at least 2″ in diameter and have a minimum capacity of 17 gal per minute. The top of the standpipe needs to be between 24″ and 49″ high—from the bottom of the washer or floor.
If you need to use an overhead sewer, whereby the drain water has to be pumped higher than 96", you will need a sump pump, and the associated accessories for the installation. Such requirements also apply to Wall standpipe drain system installations.
Floor Drain System Installation Requirements
If you would rather install a floor drain system for your Whirlpool Duet washer, you need to buy the appropriate Siphon Break Kit for the installation (Sold separately). You will also need an extension drain hose for the installation (also sold separately).
The minimum siphon break for a floor drain system is 28″ from the bottom of the washer.
Laundry Tub Drain System Installation Requirements
If you are installing a laundry tub drain system for your Whirlpool Duet washer, it should support a flow rate of at least 20 gal per minute. The top of the laundry tub should be between 24″ and 49″ from the floor.
Check the Drain Hose for Kinks
As the machine vibrates during use, it is possible for the drain hose to bend and develop kinks. These will, in turn, slow the flow of drain water through the hose. To avoid such a scenario with your washer, it is advisable to install a U-shaped drain hose and secure it properly.
Located behind the washer, examine the drain hose for any bends or kinks throughout its length. If found, you need to straighten them to allow for free flow of drain water, and possibly clear error code F21. You may use a rigid plastic frame to accomplish this.
Method 2:Unclog the Drain Hose
Next, you need to examine the drain hose for clogs that may be preventing the water from flowing. To unclog the Whirlpool Duet washer drain hose, these are the steps you should take:
Step 1: Shut the washer down and unplug it from the power source.
Step 2: Move the washer away from the walls to allow for easy access to its back. You should then disconnect the hose and inspect it for clogs. Having disconnected the hose from the washer, you should unclip it from the cable ties to remove it.
Step 3: Now blow into the hose or run water through it under pressure to diagnose, and possibly clear clogs. If the water cannot go through, you need to reach into the hose with a long-handled hook and pull out the flint out. You may also use a flexible wire to push the clog out of the hose.
Having removed the dirt and pieces that were blocking the hose, you should run water though the hose to clean it.
Step 4: Once you are done, reconnect the hose to your washer—as directed in the user's manual—and secure it in place using the cable ties.
Method 3:Clean the Drain Pump Filter
If the drain hose was not clogged, the blockage is probably at the filter. In this case, you should remove the filter and clean it. Just unplug the washer and move it to an open location. To access the lower panel, tilt the washer back, and place several 2 x4 pieces under the long side to keep the unit tilted.
Next, remove the three 1/4′ screws holding the bottom panel in place then pull the white panel down. This should expose a white circular filter that features a turning handle. This is the filter you need to remove and clean. Position a shallow container below the filter to collect the drain water.
Now twist the filter handle, remove all the dirt and debris that had been collected behind the filter, and then clean the filter thoroughly. Once done, re-insert the filter, close the panel and start the washer. Run a test cycle to check whether error F21 has been fixed.
Method 4:Check the Drain Pump for Clogs
Even with a working filter in place, it is still possible for the drain pump to get clogged. In most cases, this occurs inside the corrugates tubes leading to and from the pump. Having unplugged the washer from the outlet socket, follow the steps explained in method 2 above to remove the bottom panel.
You will find the pump at the bottom of the machine, right behind the front bar. Once you locate the drain pump, remove the drain pump filter and any dirt that it may be holding. Next, run pick into the corrugated tubes to remove any foreign object that may be lodged into the tubes.
Now run some water under pressure through the pump to clear it of any flint that may be hindering water from flowing. Once done, reassemble the parts back together, plug the machine back in and run a test cycle to see whether error code F21 resurfaces.
Method 5:Only Use HE Detergent
As mentioned earlier in this guide, using the wrong or excess detergent on your wash cycles will lead to formation of excessive soap suds. The suds may collect in the drain system with time, and slow the flow of water down the hose.
Being an energy-efficient washer model, the Whirlpool Duet requires you to use high-efficiency detergents. If you suspect suds to be causing the Whirlpool Duet washer error code F21, start the washer and select the 'Drain/Spin' cycle.
Thereafter, you should only use detergents labeled HE on your washer. Check the label on the detergent container for the right amount to use per wash cycle. This is the amount you should fill into the dispenser before the cycle, depending on the load size.
Final Verdict
Error F21 on a Whirlpool washer is a low drain error to tell you that the machine is taking too long to drain. If the machine fails to drain in 8 minutes, the cycle is automatically terminated and error code F21 displayed on the control panel.
The inability to drain in time is often caused by a clog in the drain system—in the drain hose, filter or drain pump.

the bible belt
by Alok Vaid-Menon
i am back in my hometown when i receive the news that Leelah, a 17 year old trans woman in ohio, committed suicide by walking in front of a truck.
the article refers to her by her birth name and gender
and i remember that "rest in peace"
is a luxury only afforded to bodies
whose violence ends with death.
i am sitting in the waiting room to see a chiropractor
ostensibly to diagnose the chronic back pain that i have developed this past year
but judging from the middle age women in the waiting room
i think this is also a place to be touched
to experience the intimacy of taking off stranger
and letting a man touch you
as if he cares
you see,
in this town certain acts of transgression are permissible
when they are covered by health insurance or
have a bible quote to justify them
(is there a difference?)
this past year i have publically started identifying as trans.
my doctor does not know this. but my mother does.
though, if she could use denial as a pronoun for me she would.
earlier today my grandmother tells me that young boys like me
aren't supposed to have so much pain in our bodies.
in other words, we are not supposed to be hurt
apparently we are only supposed to do the hurting.
we live in a small town in texas
which means that there are crosses hanging on every wall of the doctors office
and bible verses in fonts like comic sans and impact used un-ironically
and i think to my self how remarkable it is
that one symbol can mean such different things for two people
their clipart, my cliché
their birth certificate, our search warrant
our femininity, their ridicule
their cross, my classmate ashley
in tenth grade tells me that i will rot in a pit of burning sulfur if i do not embrace jesus christ
there are not many things the people
where i'm from tend to be right about
but i think she was about this one:
signed sincerely: me,
the flaming faggot from texas
the doctor traces the muscles in my back
he asks me if i had an accident
he needs an explanation of how it is possible for something
to feel so irrevocably broken and yet
still somehow work
it would seem that my doctor thinks of pain as an exception.
what a privilege it is to navigate the world like that
as if pain is something you can pinpoint and eliminate
not the only thing that reminds you that you have a body
to begin with.
this is the town where i attempt suicide at thirteen.
i did not have the language for it at the time,
it was a tightness in this chest,
a tinge in this voice
a belt around my neck
there was no language for why.
there was just this body
and His religion
and this bible belt around my neck
and i did not know what i was doing
but i knew why i was doing it
and that
sometimes i miss that sense of conviction.
these days i have all of the theory to explain
how this doctor and this god and this town
made this body find dysphoria
made that dysphoria find hand
made that hand find belt
made that belt find …
but i don't have that closure that comes
from listening to your body like that
because i had to put mine on mute
to keep that bible belt down
around my waste
and not my neck
these days i have all the theory
to know why they would have called this a 'suicide' and not a 'murder'
to rinse their own hands and crosses of the blood
as if we hate ourselves because it is our choice and not theirs
as if we kill ourselves because we wanted to and not because they told us to
as if we were not following their prophesy
on our knees,
in His name
. . .
doctor the only accident in my life was when they
proclaimed me both 'boy' and 'brown' at my birth
and i have been trying to recover from ever since
the thing about this body is that you will use words
'anxiety' and 'pressure' to diagnose this pain
instead of 'race' and 'gender' and all of the other words
that never made it into your bibles or medical textbooks
these diagnoses i wear like commandments on my back
since a man who looked just like you
told my mother i was born and
forgot to mention that he also prescribed my death
how it's often not about the accident, the slur, the punch, the suicide
as of violence, as if trauma, as if gender
is an episode that starts and stops,
it doesn't work like that.
and it never stops.
most of the time it is dull, quiet, and normal
it sinks into us so deeply that sometimes
we cannot tell the difference between our
depression and our oppression
between our violence and our gender
between our sin and our color
between god's word and our self hatred
i am in pain not because of an accident,
but because of the norm,
do you understand?
her death was not an accident
is in the norm
do you understand?
we are not broken
we working the way we were told to
do you understand?
. . .
i tell the doctor that i slipped and fell
for the same reason i let my mother use the wrong pronouns
the same way i tell people that i'm happier now because i moved away from that small town
the same way so many of us learned to play pretend as children
and never stopped
because it hurts less
and sometimes
that's enough to survive.
fairy tale
by Janani Balasubramanian
Sometimes I dream about breaking up with you;
other times I dream about you meeting my parents.
One is a dream, and the other is probably a nightmare,
and sometimes they switch places.
Last week you asked me if the gift I gave you meant goodbye.
At some point I lied.
But certain lies keep the world oiled.
Like in the beginning, there was violence,
then the word came to smooth it over.
babies come from the sky.
Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery.
nuclear disarmament.
Cage-free eggs.
This isn't goodbye.
When the goodbyes and lies are over,
at the end of the world,
we'll all drink weak tea
and play truth or truth
and tear each other open.
The truth is, I lose at crosswords all the time:
four letters, across, creates happiness.
The truth is, when other people speak
of healing and happiness ask me
if I've tried yoga I tell them
I can only use a bandaid
if I understand why I am bleeding.
Does that make sense?
It might not even be my blood.
This is the way of things.
Sometimes, I panic when I look at sunsets,
like I loved the sky so much I tore it open
and then it bled.
This is the way of things.
This is how love works.
The pilgrims loved the land
so they stole it.
We loved Brooklyn
so we gentrified it.
Our parents loved us
and they messed us up.
I learned to love my body
and then I took a needle to it.
The truth is:
I hope one of us gets swallowed by a whale
and lives out our years digesting its loneliness,
and I hope the other dies quickly.
I hope the ending is very obvious and dramatic
like a bad opera.
I wish we were living in a bible verse.
Maybe this is capitalism and patriarchy speaking,
and maybe it's me,
afraid that we will be obsolete before my Macbook.
Either way, I am asking
if you will tear up the sunset with me
so we can never say it fell apart
or that we were painfully ordinary
or that one day
you rode the express train a little farther
and never came back
or that one day
we lived in different cities
and I forgot to pick up the phone.
Let's do it tonight:
while the sky feels raw,
and your hands still know how to lock into mine
for the tearing.
The truth is:
The story of sex is one of failure and absence.
The night we made love.
The years we spend unmaking it.
Every other night.
The truth is:
I have this dream where I bleed to shreds,
and this nightmare where you sew me back together,
and sometimes we switch places.
The truth is:
Holding you in my arms
reminds me of dying.
The truth is:
Your whole body feels like an argument.
The truth is:
Eventually we will tie up affection
and spray paint it absence,
whether for plague or depression or time and tiredness.
The truth is:
I will not die without you.
The truth is:
I am terrible at titles
and worse at endings.
The truth is:
However radical the love is,
it will sink.
There will just be no papers.
There will be no words at all, no meaning, no gravestone.
The truth is:
One day you'll walk up to me
in a crowded room
and shake my hand.
It will be polite and clean.
You will say it was good to see me.
The truth is:
A few months later
we'll have lunch
in another crowded room.
The end.

Lettuce is one of the most popular plants to grow in the AeroGarden indoor garden. Quick to germinate and grow, lettuce is tasty, versatile and healthy, it is the near perfect crop for your AeroGarden.
Lettuce grown indoors is free of pesticides and perfect for the fresh salad whenever you want. Throw in some fresh tomatoes from an AeroGarden and it's sure to satisfy any salad eater.
I'll cover how to grow and harvest AeroGarden lettuce here.
1. Pick and Plant Lettuce Seeds – Seed Pod Kits
Let's start with picking the lettuce that you'll be planting into the AeroGarden. You can grow many types of lettuce indoors, like common garden lettuce.
There are a variety of lettuce seed pod kits available, including:
Find various seed pod options for growing lettuce on the AeroGarden website, including your ability to customize your own package of 6, 9, and more seed pods.
Once you have chosen which lettuce to grow, it's time to plant your seeds. If you have used your AeroGarden before, then you will need to sanitize your garden first following the steps below.
If it is a new system then you skip the sanitization steps.
Sanitizing your Garden for Lettuce Growth
- Fill your bowl with water and add 60ml of chlorine bleach. The bleach can be replaced with 5 cups (1.18 liters) of distilled white vinegar if preferred.
- Using the water pump or aerator, circulate the mixture for at least five minutes.
- Empty the bowl and rinse it out well.
- Refill it with clean water and pump it through the system for another 5 minutes.
- Then empty the bowl and rinse well to ensure all bleach/vinegar residue is removed.
- Reset your nutrient timer.
Planting your Lettuce Seeds
- Fill the bowl to the maximum level indicator with distilled or cool tap water.
- Plant your seed pods. Push the seed pods into the slots on your AeroGarden grow system. Do not remove the labels as these give you valuable information about the plant, as well as helping to inhibit algae growth.
- Once the pods are situated, place a grow dome over each pod.
- Add Nutrients, always use the recommended dosage that is printed on the nutrient bottle.
- Move the lights to the lowest possible position.
2. Growing and Tending to Lettuce
Lettuce is one of the quickest plants from seed to harvest that you can grow in your indoor garden. If you follow the steps below, you can expect to be enjoying leafy lettuce plants in around 3 weeks.
- Remove the Dome – Once you see plants start to emerge from the holes in the seed pod label, it is time to remove the domes. This is best done after the lights have turned off to avoid stressing the plant.
- Keep the Garden Watered and Fed. Always ensure there is plenty of water in the bowl, the water is close to room temperature, and you're using either fresh tap water or distilled water. The nutrients should be replenished every two weeks. The amount of liquid nutrient you should add is printed on the bottle.
- Grow Lights – For optimal growth, the lights should always be kept at the correct distance from the plant. To maintain green lettuce leaves, keep a 1″ and 2″ gap between the top of your plants and the lights.
- Tending to Your Plants – It is quite normal to see brown or dead leaves at the base of the plant, because they may not get as much light as the lights move higher. The leaves can be pinched off or removed with garden scissors. And be sure to remove the leaves from the grow surface.
By following these simple instructions, you can be enjoying healthy salad greens straight from your AeroGarden in a matter of weeks.
3. Harvesting Lettuce
Lettuce really is a plant that keeps on giving. If harvested properly, you can be enjoying lettuce for months to come.
Once your plants are ready for harvest, usually Week 3 and onwards, it's simply a matter of removing leaves from the plants as required. To do this, snip leaves using a pair of scissors or garden shears, simply cut the leaf as close to its base as possible.
To ensure you continue to enjoy delicious home-grown lettuce for weeks to come, follow these guidelines:
- Spread your harvest out among all your plants.
- Never remove more than a third of the leaves from any one pod at a time, this ensures that the plant will continue to grow and produce more lettuce yields.
- Continue to remove the brown and dead leaves from around the base of the plants.
Growing and Harvesting Lettuce Tips and Tricks
In this section I will cover a few tips and tricks for the leafy greens. Lettuce isn't a difficult plant to grow and will prosper in most circumstances. However, to get the best results possible, try applying the following tips to your indoor crop.
- Temperature – Lettuce prefers a cooler temperature, ideally you want the temperature of your growing environment to be between 68° to 75° F.
- Nutrients – Always make sure the nutrient levels are kept to AeroGarden's recommended levels.
- Trim and Remove Brown Leaves – Once you trimmed these from the plant make sure they are removed from the growing surface.
- Harvest carefully – Remove the outer leaves as your lettuce grows, this ensures the plant will continue to produce a healthy harvest for weeks, always trim the leaf as close to the base of them as possible.
- Optimize the Lighting – Lettuce aren't too fussy when it comes to lighting, they will generally grow under most lighting conditions. However, to get the absolute optimum harvest always keep your lights at the perfect height. Aerogarden recommends having your lights positioned between 1 and 2 inches from the top of the tallest plant.
- Space Your Grow – Space your lettuce plants out evenly in the available slots.
Here are before and after images for trimming lettuce. Lettuce grows quickly, so you'll want to be careful what you grow next to them. The slower growing plants may not have access to the plants
AeroGarden Lettuce Final Thoughts
Lettuce might just be the perfect plant for small indoor gardens and delicious salad greens. With quick and continual yields, these plants flourish under the AeroGarden lights.
They are also a low-maintenance and forgiving plant that even the least green-thumbed amongst us will be able to master growing, just by following a few simple steps.

Ultimately, the choice between whole spices and ground spices comes down to a few things. Flavour, texture and strength are the biggest things that each brings to your meals. Both give you the benefit of delicious spice. Both can be used in many different dishes. But you may find that whole spices are stronger than ground or you may find that some dishes work better with ground spices. Today, we're giving you a few tips on when to use each of these spice variations.
Choosing Between Whole Spices and Ground Spices
Wondering when to use whole spices and when to use ground spices? Here are a few things to keep in mind when cooking with spices.
Because flavour compounds are found within the whole versions of spice, whole versions typically have more flavour. This can be good for meals that need a richer flavour. You can also add whole versions of spices early in the cooking process to infuse other ingredients with the flavour of the spice. You could remove the spice before serving or at the end of cooking. Some examples of this include cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, bay leaves and whole dried chilli.
For smoother dishes such as soups or sauces, ground spices are generally better as they can be blended easily into the dish without adding too much bulk or texture. As we mentioned above, you could add whole leaves or spices and remove them near the end of cooking. Ground spices are often easier, however, giving flavour without losing the smooth texture of your dish.
Finally, strength is another factor to consider. Just because whole leaves and spices contain more flavonoids, this does not mean that ground spices cannot be strong. After all, the same compounds are still found when spices are ground - they are just not as strong as they are when the spice is whole. One way that spices lose their strength is when they are poor quality or kept on the shelf for too long. Fresh, quality spices will always give you all the strength you need to make curries and other hot dishes without losing any heat.
Spice World offers a wide range of spices for every meal. Contact us today to find out more about our collection of whole spices.

In 94 percent of Germany's cities and districts, homeowners pay lower housing costs than tenants. This is the gist of the new ACCENTRO Housing Cost Report 2019 that was compiled by the IW German Economic Institute in Cologne. According to the report findings, average owner-occupiers across Germany pay 40 percent less than tenants in comparable flats. The experts consider the persistently low level of interest rates the main reason behind it because it keeps mortgage financing affordable.
On the whole, the comparison of housing costs paints a heterogeneous picture, though. On the one hand, homeowners retain a significant cost advantage over tenants even in metropolises like Berlin (27 percent) or Munich (38 percent). On the other hand, there are economically undeveloped regions where tenants spend less on housing than owner-occupiers. These include Saarland in addition to wide swathes of the Ruhr.
For the first time, the IW research institute also conducted a long-term comparison for the Housing Cost Report. It used data provided by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) on the development of property prices since 1970. As it turned out, the mean rate of increase amounted to a mere 0.23 percent annually. However, the IW Economic Institute also determined recently on behalf of the Sparda banks that real estate became more expensive in 99 percent of all German municipalities over the past years (source: www.wiwo.de).
Then again, the increase has had barely any influence on the cost comparison between renting and buying. For the time being, the status quo is here to stay, according to IW's assessment, and this even in the event of an interest rate hike. In the case of Berlin, the neutral interest rate—meaning the limit where rents and prices are balanced in terms of the running cost burden—is 2.9 percent. In Hamburg (3.3 percent) and Munich (3.5 percent), the rates are actually far above the current standard rate of sometimes less than one percent (source: www.focus.de).
At the same time, however, the experts noted that few people are in a position to take advantage of the favourable terms of financing. The number of first-time buyers, meaning persons who are buying their very first home, is in decline, for one thing. Moreover, the time they decide to move ahead comes later and later in life. But the survey also found that home buyers are getting wealthier. The IW institute takes this to means that, notwithstanding the sound parameters, many are unable to come up with the equity capital required.
The survey thus confirms the latest figures released by the Federal Statistical Office, which suggest that the number of property owners has failed to go up in Germany (source: www.faz.net). For the experts, this permits but one conclusion. The steps taken by the German Government to ease the way to homeownership for first-time buyers are falling short of the mark. The survey advises Germany's policymakers to step up their efforts – because the ACCENTRO Housing Cost Report projects that prices, rather than softening, will keep rising in the foreseeable future.

74 on-duty soldiers arrested in FETÖ probe
ISTANBUL – Anadolu Agency
At least 74 on-duty soldiers have been arrested across Turkey as part of a probe into FETÖ, the group believed to have been behind the 2016 defeated coup attempt, judicial sources said on Nov. 9.
The arrests came after the Istanbul Public Prosecutor's Office issued arrest warrants for 103 on-duty soldiers including colonels, lieutenant colonels and commanders, according to sources who asked not to be named, due to restrictions on speaking to the media.
Police squads conducted simultaneous operations in 32 provinces including Istanbul to arrest the suspects, who are accused of communicating with other suspected FETÖ members over payphones and land-line telephones.
The search for others is underway.
According to the Turkish government, FETÖ and its U.S.-based leader Fetullah Gülen orchestrated the defeated coup of July 15, 2016, which left 251 people killed and nearly 2,200 injured.
Ankara also accuses FETÖ of being behind a long-running campaign to overthrow the state through the infiltration of Turkish institutions, particularly the military, police, and judiciary.

EUR/USD: plan for the European session on March 29. All attention to significant data on eurozone countries
To open long positions on EURUSD you need:
The euro has failed to recover from weak German data, which came out yesterday towards the afternoon. To date, it is best to look closely at long positions in the euro after updating support for 1.1208 or to buy for a rebound from the new low of 1.1176. The main task will be to return and consolidate above the resistance of 1.1240, from where we can expect growth in the area of 1.1269, where I recommend to take profits.
To open short positions on EURUSD you need:
The next series of weak data for Germany, Italy and Spain may return sellers of the European currency to the market. While trade is conducted below the range of 1.1240, the pressure on the euro will continue, and the purpose of the bears will be a low around 1.1208 and 1.1176, where I recommend taking profits. When scenarios return EUR/USD to the resistance level of 1.1240 in the first half of the day, it is best to consider short positions on a rebound from a low of 1.1269 and 1.1294.
Indicator signals:
Moving averages
Trade is conducted below the 30-day and 50-day moving averages, which indicates the bearish nature of the market.
Bollinger bands
A break of the upper border of the Bollinger Bands indicator around 1.1240 may lead to an upward correction in the euro. The breakthrough of the lower border in the area of 1.1208 will lead to a new wave of the euro's decline.
Description of indicators
- MA (moving average) 50 days - yellow
- MA (moving average) 30 days - green
- MACD: fast EMA 12, slow EMA 26, SMA 9
- Bollinger Bands 20

I loved this: Settling Scores at a Fist-Fighting Festival in the Peruvian Andes. Each year on Dec. 25, thousands of locals gather in the town of Santo Tomás — dressed in elaborate costumes — to dance, drink and duke it out. Sounded great until that last part. Peace!
I loved this shot: Church on the blood. Aerial photo of the Church of the Saviour on the Blood in Saint Petersburg (Russia).
Some good thoughts on "rules of thumb" we financial advisors use in our work with clients: Rule Your World. If I had a dollar for every time I saw a reference to the 4% rule! 🙂
Fantastic run through history how bubbles form. Or maybe I like this financial history stuff too much? Speculation is Necessary. Governments Can Help. You need three things: 1) Marketability (the oxygen), 2) Money & Credit (the fuel) and 3) Speculation (the heat). No doubt some element of that are out there, can you say crypto and NFT and ape avatars smh…
MUST read, new one by Ed Yong: Long-Haulers Are Fighting For Their Future. Many people with long COVID feel that science is failing them. Neglecting them could make the pandemic even worse.
My fully vaccinated colleague who is also a professor caught Covid-19 and he kept us updated: Even Vaccinated, I Got COVID. And It Isn't Pretty, Folks. This reiterates my intention to lay low, as much as I can. Yeah, it sucks, but getting this virus may suck even more!
The blogger at the A Wealth Of Common Sense, one of the recommended Personal Finance blogs, also got it, fully vaccinated too. I may have a contest when you will see "I got Covid" in my blog too, I think it is a matter of time and not if...Update: Ben posted about it: Some Thoughts on My Experience Getting Covid.
I missed financial industry conferences a lot. That is where I replenish my free Tshirts from vendors and I am now running low and I may have to do the unthinkable…like buy one woohoo! Only a few conferences did not cancel and just saw a pic of one of them with a hall full of unmasked financial advisors. And I shook my head to oblivion, no thanks.
I hope we retire this section as the media will undoubtedly focus elsewhere shortly. But this is a great chronicle of the whole war: The US War inn Afghanistan 1999-2021.
I agree with this in case you did not know: Biden Deserves Credit, Not Blame, for Afghanistan.
Unlike his three immediate predecessors in the Oval Office, all of whom also came to see the futility of the Afghan operation, Biden alone had the political courage to fully end America's involvement. Although Donald Trump made a plan to end the war, he set a departure date that fell after the end of his first term and created conditions that made the situation Biden inherited more precarious. And despite significant pressure and obstacles, Biden has overseen a military and government that have managed, since the announcement of America's withdrawal, one of the most extraordinary logistical feats in their recent history. By the time the last American plane lifts off from Hamid Karzai International Airport on August 31, the total number of Americans and Afghan allies extricated from the country may exceed 120,000.

This section is about my hobby addiction of collecting frequent flyer miles and hotel points since the early 1990's! Feel free to skip this section and parts of the next one if this is not for you.
Newbies: BEST TRAVEL REWARDS CREDIT CARD! The 100k Chase Sapphire Preferred card is now available with my links. If you are totally new and looking for a keeper card I think THIS is the card. Apply for it, get approved, do the required minimum $4k spend, get the 100k points signup bonus, transfer the points to United or Southwest or Hyatt or just cash out for $1,250 spend for groceries using the "Pay Yourself Back" feature assuming you do eat, right? For the annual fee of only $95, COME ON, do the math! Ok, here is the math: $1,250 – $95 = $1,155. So, if a bank offers you all this money what is your problem? Just ALWAYS make sure you NEVER EVER carry a balance ok? If you currently have the card, you can refer your spouse or significant other or third cousin or travel starved friend and you the referrer can earn 20k Chase points for the referral and the referred still get the full 100k bonus.
I must admit I am very surprised the Chase Sapphire Preferred 100k signup bonus above is still going on!
A reader who is totally new in this space asked how to get started in this addictive hobby obsession so here is my answer.
Chase is going to kill this card's 100k bonus on 9/22/21: Chase United Quest Card Review: 100K Points Launch Offer, $125 Credit & Up to 10K Miles Annually. I do have this card for the 100k bonus of course. I also have the United Business card. My plan is to cancel both and get the no annual fee United card that will still give me better access in United awards and save me the annual fees, I am all for the signup bonuses for the most part baby! Update: Wife's Southwest card annual fee just hit, I think it is time to cancel it and then she goes for the United Quest card, I need to check my records! 🙂
Amex has transfer bonuses often. Never before it unleashed 12 of them at the same time, WOW! The 40% transfer bonus to British Airways Avios sure looks great and…I am thinking about it. If only I had fewer Avios #firstworldproblem.
Register here for the new Radisson Rewards of the Americas hotel promotion, 7,000 points per night is not bad at all.
Register here for the new Best Western Rewards hotel promotion, 3,000 points per stay.
Marriott Bonvoy has a new promotion to earn 1,500 bonus points on each stay and more. You know, when both Best Western and Radisson beat you in promos…maybe Bonvoy just sucks!
We are now entering BLOG BUZZ, a section for advanced hobbyists and veterans of this fast imploding hobby and also a section where I go on and on about some stuff that happens in my life because it helps me feel better about myself.
I really like the weekly roundups The Lazy Traveler does lately: Best in Miles, Points, Credit Cards, Travel and More: Around the Web Aug 22 — Aug 28 2021. I also like that he links back to my blog too!
I am starting to run again, no more pains in my left back side. Slowly increasing the mileage and just ran seven miles non stop and it feels great! I may have a shot to finish the Athens Greece full marathon in mid November when it was only a dream a month ago…
Yours truly will be biking 30 miles this Sunday at the Bike The Drive event in Chicago. If you see me say hi! Staying at the Chicago Fairmont for two nights. In a suite. For free. Je suis TBB.
Let me leave you with this…I don't have anything funny today, just this amazing shot, wow!

Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., introduced the Safe Chemicals Act of 2010, with Reps. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., and Henry A. Waxman, D-Calif., unveiling similar legislation in the House.
"America's system for regulating industrial chemicals is broken," Lautenberg said. "Parents are afraid because hundreds of untested chemicals are found in their children's bodies. EPA does not have the tools to act on dangerous chemicals and the chemical industry has asked for stronger laws so that their customers are assured their products are safe. My 'Safe Chemicals Act' will breathe new life into a long-dead statute by empowering EPA to get tough on toxic chemicals."
The Safe Chemicals Act requires safety testing of all industrial chemicals and puts the burden on industry to prove that chemicals are safe in order stay on the market. Under current policy, the EPA can call for safety testing only after evidence surfaces demonstrating a chemical is dangerous. As a result, EPA has been able to require testing for just 200 of the more than 80,000 chemicals currently registered in the United States and has been able to ban only five dangerous substances.
The new legislation will give EPA more power to regulate the use of dangerous chemicals and require manufacturers to submit information proving the safety of every chemical in production and any new chemical seeking to enter the market.
"The Safe Chemicals Act would go a long way toward bringing our chemical policies into the 21st century," said Andy Igrejas, director of Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families in an April 15 press conference. "We applaud Sen. Lautenberg and both Congressmen Rush and Waxman for introducing the strongest bill yet to reform TSCA."
During the press conference, Richard Denison, Ph.D., senior scientist for the Environmental Defense Fund, told EHS Today that the legislation has a provision stressing that the first resort in protecting workers should be establishing better engineering controls to reduce the presence of a chemical in the workplace rather than relying on personal protective equipment as the first line of defense.
"In addition, when exposure is being assessed, occupational exposures are certainly to be included, and workers are a potential vulnerable sub-population that would have to be included under the statutes of the safety standard," he said.
Bill Highlights
The Safe Chemicals Act would:
- Provide EPA with sufficient information to judge a chemical's safety.
- Requires manufacturers to develop and submit a minimum data set for each chemical they produce, while also preventing duplicative or unnecessary testing.
- Prioritize chemicals based on risk, with EPA focuses resources on evaluating chemicals most likely to cause harm.
- Ensure a safety threshold is met for all chemicals on the market.
- Place the burden of proof on chemical manufacturers to prove the safety of their chemicals. All uses must be identified and determined safe for the chemical to enter the market or continue to be used.
- Take fast action to address highest risk chemicals. In addition, the EPA administrator is given authority to act quickly if any chemical poses an imminent hazard.
- Create open access to reliable chemical information.
- Promote innovation and development of green chemistry.
Denison did raise concerns about a provision in the bill that would allow hundreds of new chemicals every year to enter the market and be used in products without first requiring them to be shown to be safe. "This provision, we think, is at odds we think of fundamental goal of the bill that all chemicals be shown to be safe as a condition for being used," he said.
Denison added that the bill does not provide EPA with clear authority to restrict the worst chemicals without going through a safety determination based on a risk assessment. Overall, however, the coalition of public health and environmental organizations, safety stakeholders and lawmakers stressed this chemical reform is a move toward better protecting the health and safety of the American public.
"For decades, Congress has been told that the Toxic Substances Control Act is failing its mission and is in desperate need of reform," said Rep. Waxman. "In order to protect all Americans from toxic exposures and the adverse effects they cause, Congress must strengthen this failing law."

Congratulations, you are done with your taxes for this year. What should you do now? Start preparing for your next year taxes, and make sure you pay lower amounts than the one you did this time. Hire reputed tax services Orlando, and they will help you with this. For right now, we have some great suggestions for you.
Adjust withholdings
Did you have to pay more taxes than you wanted to do this year? What's been done is done, but you can make sure the same does not happen next year. Try adjusting your withholdings and more money will be deducted from your pay. You might think you will be making less this way, but it is not like that. When it is tax time, you will have made more.
In case you owe money to the government, you can also try paying estimated tax amounts on a quarterly basis. This means that you will have to pay a lower amount in April.
Strategize your charitable donations
When you do contribute to charity? Towards the end of the year is not a great time, despite the fact that most people opt for it. You should start planning this right now, and try to ascertain you are paying the maximum possible amounts. What about your payroll deductions? This is offered by many employees and every month, you are allowed to make small contributions. As the end of the year draws near, these contributions accumulate to a big amount and you will be able to avail a larger deduction.
We also suggest that you should contribute appreciated stock. Hold onto this for around a year, and you will have to pay no capital gains in it. After some period, you can contribute it at its market value.
Related to charity, there is one more deduction which many people miss out on. Even if you are attending a charitable event, you are allowed to deduct the costs which are incurred in traveling.
Utilize employer sponsored accounts
Some employers offer Flexible Spending Accounts or FSAs. These are a great option, and you can contribute money for some qualified expenses such as medical care. But there is a limit, and you cannon contribute more than this.
Contribute to a 529 plan
You can also think about contributing to a 529 plan, which is meant for educational expenses. Please note that this plan matures tax free, and so you will have no deduction on your return at that time. However, the contributions can be utilized as a deduction.
Plan out your investment
Do you have an investment advisor? If not, sign up for one and discuss your portfolio with him. He will help you in strategizing your timing sic that it has the least impact on your taxes.
Winy any more advice on how to do you taxes for next year? Hire a reputed tax services Orlando and they will guide you more.
Tax Advantages Enjoyed by the Rich
What is your income level? Is it towards the higher end? Like so many others out there, you might have the misconception that you get to enjoy reduced tax advantages. The truth is it just that: a misconception. There are tax advantages for the rich as well, and only you can utilize them. Want to more about these? Hire reputed tax services Orlando, and they will help you with it. For right now, we will quickly go over the main ones.
Home Sale Gain Exclusion
If you are unmarried and sell a principal residence, there are instances in which you have to pay no taxes. For example, if you are a single filer, you do not have to pay any taxes on gains that are less than $250,000. If you are a filing jointly, this limit is increased to $500,000.
Please note that this will only be if you meet some requirements. For instance, your must have hold onto the property for at least two years, and you must have also used it as your primary residence for a certain time period. Your chosen tax services Orlando will guide you more about these.
Roth IRA Conversion Privilege
If you are converting your traditional IRA account into a Roth account, you may have to pay taxes. What this means is your tax bill will rise for that tax year. While this is a downside, there is a benefit of this. When you reach your retirement age, you will have to pay no taxes on the amount that you withdraw if your account was open for over five years. Should the tax rate rise in future, you will not be affected by this.
Employee Benefit programs
Is there any employer benefit program which you know of? Start contributing to this and your taxable salary will go down, which means you will be paying lesser taxes. Your 401 (k) plan is an example of this. The cafeteria benefit plan is another example of this. There are contribution limit, but whatever these are, your tax bill certainly fall down.
Self-Employed Retirement Programs
If you are self-employed, you can contribute to self-employed retirement programs. These also include 401 (k) plans and other similar options. Depending on the plan you choose, you may be able to get a deduction worth $57,500.
Alimony deduction is a tax advantage which anyone claim without any regards to the income bracket. Do this on the first page of Form 1040. And by the way, unlike retirement accounts, there are no maximum limit for this, other than your budget itself.
Education Reimbursement
Some companies offer an educational assistance plan, which will provide you with a reimbursement worth a certain amount. Sign up for this plan because reimbursements are tax-free.

Quality Management Information
The business world is divided into the haves and have nots - which one are you? Some have nots want it and others don't - fair enough, as there's no point in complicating matters if the information is not going to be used to increase profitability or value.
What's interesting, at least from our perspective, are the businesses that don't know whether MI would be of benefit because they don't have the experience. So here are a few thoughts to help this group.
Let's start with the very well worn cliché which never dates and bears repeating " Sales is Vanity, Profit is Sanity and Cash is King". In a nutshell that is arguably the best business advice ever. The second best might be "If you can Measure it you can Improve it".
Let's look at measuring profit. What's needed is something like your year end accounts but much better in that they should be monthly, to allow prompt attention and they must be totally understandable to you, the owner and user. If not, it's going to be wasted effort. You will need to understand and focus on Margins as that is a key indicator of your profitability.
Beyond that, always look for a split of the business, such as sales of product separate from a repairing service. If you don't separate the gross margins for each then you're mixing and messing the information. Simple but crucial.
That's all, short and sweet. If that's whetted your appetite then do something about it and enjoy the extra profits.
