Diamond Education
The 4 C's of Diamonds - Carat, Clarity, Color and Cut
The most important physical properties to look for in a diamond are referred to as the "4C's" - Carat, Clarity, Color and Cut. The concept behind the 4C's is that all of these qualities work together to create the best diamond for you.
Diamond Cut and the 4 C's
Cut refers to not only the shape of the diamond, but its proportions and finish, two key factors which determine the sparkle of the diamond. A diamond can only be cut by another diamond; therefore the cut is completely in the hands of a skilled diamond cutter.
Carat Size and the 4 C's
Carat refers to the weight of a diamond as expressed in carats. The word carat originated from the carob tree - the tiny seeds of this tree are well known for their uniformity and consistent weight. Traditionally, diamonds and gemstones were weighed against these seeds until the system was standardized, and one carat was fixed at 0.2 grams.
Diamond Color and the 4 C's
Although diamonds appear to be clear and without color, most diamonds have hints of yellow or brown. When referring to a diamond's color, this generally means the internal color of a diamond.

Diamond Clarity and the 4 C's
A diamond's clarity refers to how pure the diamond is internally in terms of being free of flaws. To determine a diamond's clarity, an expert views it under 10x magnification. The number of flaws found internally is called inclusions and external defects are called blemishes. Inclusions can be a result of mineral deposits, irregular crystals, flaws or cracks.

What Makes a Diamond Look So Beautiful?
The qualities that make a diamond so visually appealing and beautiful are sparkle and brilliance. While the 4C's are very important, the quality of a diamond's Cut in particular is very important to creating brilliance, sparkle, and flashes of fire.

What is the difference between a Diamond Grading Report and an Appraisal?
A diamond's physical attributes should be graded by a reliable independent lab such as GIA or AGS which issue a Diamond Grading Report or Certificate. This report does not give you the retail replacement value that you need for insurance purposes. You may also receive an appraisal or assessment of your stone from a jewelry store or independent appraiser. Both are important, but be sure to get the Diamond Grading Report rather than just an appraisal before purchasing your very special diamond.

Manufacturing the Diamond
A great deal of planning, patience, wisdom and experience goes into transforming the world's hardest material into the beautiful diamonds. Diamond cutting is the art, skill and, increasingly, science of changing a diamond from a rough stone into a faceted gem. Diamond cutting requires specialized knowledge, tools, equipment, and techniques because of its extreme hardness.

What are Synthetic Diamonds?
Synthetic diamonds are man-made stones. These stones were first produced in the early 1950's for mainly industrial purposes. Only recently have synthetic diamonds become available for commercial, retail purposes. Synthetic diamonds are produced in a laboratory and they essentially have the same chemical composition and crystal structure of a natural diamond. Their physical and visual properties are almost the same as a natural stone as well. Synthetic diamonds are referred to as "lab grown", "lab created", "created", "Signity Stone" and "man made".

Precious vs. Semi-Precious Gemstones
The rarest gems are classified as precious stones. These include diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, tanzanite and rubies. Precious stones are more expensive than semi-precious but they follow the same color, cut, and clarity rules for value. All other gemstones are classified as semi-precious. However, today these separations do not have much significance. It is more common to simply classify between diamonds and colored stones.

Q. I heard that a man who loved Shakespeare introduced the House Sparrow (English Sparrow) and the European Starling into the USA. Is that true?
A. It is partially true. In 1890 and again in 1891 Eugene Schieffelin released European Starlings into Central Park in NYC. His ambition was to introduce every bird mentioned in Shakespeare's writings into the U.S. He also attempted to introduce the bullfinch, chaffinch and nightingale, but was unsuccessful. The English Sparrow had already been introduced into this country in the1850's in a well-meaning but misguided attempt to control insect pests.

Heirloom Sugar Cookies
Every once in a while, it occurs to me that it's been a long time since I first started this here blog (July 2007, to be exact, whaaaaat). I've not always been the most, er, consistent of bloggers, but it's kind of amazing to have a record of life both in and out of the kitchen nonetheless. It's most fascinating for me to look back through the archives and see the recipes I was drawn to at certain points along the way, what I had time for or interest in learning and discovering throughout the years. And much like my life from about 1994-2000, there's plenty of cringeworthy moments among the entries (although any regrets here don't involve ill-fitting plaid or intentional visible bra straps).
But! Sometimes a recipe is just so completely perfect, so part of my personal fabric, that it's worth updating and telling you about it all over again to make sure it doesn't get lost. In fact, when I first posted about this recipe, I just realized that it was exactly on this day, nine years ago. How about that? So indulge me a little, won't you? It's the holidays, after all.
Spiced Chocolate Molasses Buttons
Photo by Leigh Beisch
Hi! Just a quick pop-in today, and I've got an A+ reason. With just a handful of days left to legitimately spend a whole day baking, eating, and sharing cookies, I realized that I've never shared one of my very favorite recipes. Last night I had the pleasure of teaching a super fun baking class at Give Me Some Sugar here in Chicago. The focus was edible gifts, and as the world solidified into a frozen tundra outside, the ovens were roaring and laughs were coming easy in the cozy shop. So good.
We had a grand old time, talking homemade marshmallows, Lemon-Vanilla Dream Bars from Pure Vanilla, and these gems: Spiced Chocolate Molasses Buttons from the pages of Real Sweet. The raves that this recipe received reminded me that I'd not shared it beyond the pages of the book, and that's just not very Christmas-y of me, now is it? So in the spirit of not hiding our lights under bushels and all of that, here we are!
Granola Chocolate Pecan Cookies
We have now officially entered High Baking Season, and can balm ourselves in butter and sugar. We can surround ourselves with our favorite cookbooks, and tune out the crazy. That's my new personal strategy, anyway. And just in time for its implementation, I received Sarah Kieffer's new cookbook, The Vanilla Bean Baking Book. Which is perfect, because it's packed with enough crave-worthy recipes to keep me avoiding American reality until February, at least. Excellent!
Trine Hahnemann's Finnish Sugar Cookies
It's that time, friends! The glorious last few days before Christmas and the end of 2015, when we can all legitimately start to unplug and eat way too many carbs and bake our faces off. Today I had my best friend in the whole wide world over for lunch with her two kids and we spent a very stressful two hours refereeing and making sure nobody lost an eye or fell down the stairs or whatever, but there was coffee and good food and a lot of laughs and she left me with a tin of the most beautifully decorated cookies. Plus no one actually broke a limb or anything, so that's a plus. I think we might make a tradition of it–a lunch and playdate in the days before Christmas while the kids are on school breaks–now that we're finally both living in the same city together. Although maybe next time we'll spike our La Croix; kids during Christmas week are brutal, you guys. WAY TOO AMPED.
But luckily I had some Heirloom Sugar Cookies on hand to give us at least five lovely, uninterrupted minutes lunching and gossiping. Those cookies, of course, have made it onto this site, into this book, and all up on my Instagram for years in a row–they are simply the best I've ever had and will ever make. But! In the effort of branching out and being attracted to the simplest, quickest baking recipes around, especially those with a charming story from breathtakingly gorgeous cookbooks, I've also managed to make two batches of Finnish Sugar Cookies from Trine Hahnemann's completely perfect book, Scandinavian Baking.
Apricot & Cranberry Granola Crisps
The way I see it, there are few "bleh" situations in life that can't be remedied, or at least vastly improved, with a solid supply of snacks. Long wait at the doctor's office? Snack. Jury duty? Snack. The kind of horrifying, red-faced toddler tantrum that has said child doing some sort of exotic backbend in the shopping cart that would impress even the most accomplished cast member of Cirque de Soleil? Snack, preferably in cookie form. Especially in cases like that, snacks are the currency of my life. (Holler if you hear me.)
And let's not forget the most snack-necessary situation of all: the summer road trip. Yes, even the most desolate stretch of highway (or long-haul flight) can seem a little less daunting when there's some good munchies in your chariot. I'm not even that big fan of road trips, but my enthusiasm can be bought with a box of Cheez-Its, some Twizzlers, and a diet Coke. After a few hours of that menu, though, I'm bound to want something a little more virtuous. And is it just me, or do the crazy-making effects of junk food on an airplane seem to multiply even faster?
At any rate, lately I've been trying to plan ahead a little better and have some healthier options in my bag for traveling, to balance out some of the inevitable treat foods (when hour three of a cross-country flight hits, you will pry these Pringles from my cold, dead hands). This could be as simple as a protein bar, some nuts or string cheese and a piece of fruit, or it could be as crafty and Pinterest Mom as making my own travel snacks. I swear, this actually does happen! In fact, it happened just the other day. I'm SERIOUS.
Anzac Cookies
It's become increasingly obvious to me that there are entire periods of my life where I couldn't tell you exactly when certain things happened. I mean, the births of both my kids? Pretty solid on those. But the personal questions, like say, the kind that you have to answer at the doctor's office? Lord, help me. The week of my last Lady Moment? Let me check my phone and two calendars and probably ask my husband for confirmation. When did I have that appendectomy? I remember recovering while watching a Barbara Walters interview with Angelina Jolie when she was still in her vocal bi-sexual phase, so let's Google that. (Answer: July 2003. Thanks, internet!)
I like to blame all these brain-made-of-oatmeal lapses on two things: geography, and of course, the children. Having lived in relatively seasonless California for close to 12 years now (!), I often feel like these dozen years have been a smear of life moments with no defined edges.
As a native midwesterner, I grew up marking time by recalling the weather at the time when something occurred, or maybe even what I was wearing (Shorts and bug spray? Wool coat and hat?) to indicate a moment's position on my life's timeline. That obviously can't happen when 45 degrees is considered frigid, 75 is sweltering, and I can often wear flip flops in November with no issues. Lack of metrological evidence, coupled with a mother's brainspace (read: some of the synapses up in here will never fire again, and I accept that), it's a miracle if I can even just pin down where I set my coffee ten minutes ago, let alone when I last had my teeth cleaned.
My Go-To Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
So let's begin with the elephant in the room:
Does the Internet really need another chocolate chip cookie recipe?
Probably not.
Upon realizing that I've never really shared with you my go-to chocolate chip cookie formula–the base recipe from which I'm forever riffing–could I sleep another night without telling you about it (not that I've experienced an actual full night's sleep since last February, butheywhateverthanksbabyboy)?

Annie Leibovitz, a highly celebrated American portrait photographer born in 1949, is well-known for her characteristically witty and powerful photos of famous popular culture figures. For over 25 years, Leibovitz's work has appeared on the covers of magazines, such as Rolling Stone, Vogue and Vanity Fair. She sought to capture intimate moments with her subjects and developed her personal style of bold colors and unusual poses during the 1980s.
Leibovitz claims that she doesn't like the word "celebrity." She has said that she has a greater interest in what they do rather than who they are and hopes this is what her images reflect. Her stated intent has been to capture a little piece of her subjects' personalities in her photographs. A few of the famous people Leibovitz has photographed sometimes controversially include The Rolling Stones, George W. Bush, Nelson Mandela, Whoopi Goldberg, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Springsteen, Demi Moore, Sting, Michael Jackson, Miley Cyrus and Queen Elizabeth II. Liebovitz took the last photograph of John Lennon and Yoko Ono together, for a Rolling Stone magazine cover, on the day Lennon was murdered in New York City in December of 1980.
Leibovitz has also published several books and worked on special assignments, including influential advertising campaigns and photographic reportage during the siege of Sarajevo. In 1993, Leibovitz was awarded an honorary doctorate from the San Francisco Art Institute.

If you could have shown me the web in 1983, or even 1993, I would have cheerfully traded an infinite number of computer magazines for the chance to read an endless, endlessly diverse quantity of information about tech products, updated not once a month but all day, every day, for free.
I would have too. But I would have thought twice if I realized just how much shit would be posted too.
Yeah, magazines are old tech and they're on the way out. But journalism is still very much an industry in transition. I'm not sure that we've replaced what was there with something that is, on the whole, better.


text: KJP Report post Posted November 3, 2009 Once upon a time there was an active, magnificent train station called Buffalo Central Terminal which served tens of thousands of people per day and more than 200 daily trains at its peak. It housed hundreds of employees for the New York Central Railroad Co., one of America's largest companies, in a landmark 17-story tower above the terminal, as well as in adjoining buildings. But there was a problem -- several, actually. The station was built where the railroad needed it, not where the public wanted it. It was built at the junction of railroad lines that allowed easy access for trains. But it was two miles east of downtown Buffalo in a working-class Polish neighborhood. And since local mobsters controlled taxi cab companies, they kept a proposed streetcar line from being built into the station making it less accessible. And, worst of all, the station opened on June 22, 1929, four months before the stock market crash and the start of the Great Depression. The massive, ornate and very expensive Buffalo Central Terminal would never reach its full potential. Just 30 years later, as governments built airports and highway and rail passenger traffic went into a severe decline, New York Central began closing sections of the terminal to save money. NYC merged with its rival Pennsylvania Railroad in 1968 as Penn-Central, went bankrupt several years later, and absorbed into government-owned Conrail in 1976. Amtrak took over passenger operations in 1971 and relocated its eight daily trains to/from Buffalo in 1979 to the old but cozy Exchange Street station downtown and the new and suburban station in Depew. By the early 1980s, there was nothing left at Buffalo Central Terminal but vagrants, vandals and memories.... Halloween 2009 was a fitting day for a tour of the ruins of Central Terminal by a nonprofit group seeking to restore it. I was happy to be part of the small tour. Thanks to Bruce Becker, President of the Empire State Passengers Association for arranging the tour and to Mark Lewandowski, president of the Central Terminal Restoration Corp. for accommodating us. Lewandowski grew up next to the station in the neighborhood that has also fallen on hard times. Here's where the station is located... June 22, 1929 was grand opening day. On that day, the station awaited its first train. By the next day, more than 200 trains would have called on the station... In the late 1940s the station, its track area, support facilities and surrounding neighborhood were all still intact when this aerial view was taken... In 1944, a New York Central passenger train heads west out of the station bound for Cleveland, Toledo and Chicago... But scenes like this one during World War II wouldn't last for much more than another 20 years... And now to today..... Coming up the driveway from Curtiss Street, this is the view I was confronted with... We are surrounded by ruins... They are trying to save the station and have made some progress over the past decade. But there is hundreds of millions of dollars worth of work left to do... And so we enter the station... This space formerly held a swanky restaurant. You can still see some of the fancy detailing on the wall. But now it is accompanied by graffitti. This space is used for meetings and functions... From this location, you would have walked out.... ....to this concourse over the tracks. But the concourse was severed in 1982 from the station I'm standing inside by Conrail which needed the overhead clearance for its larger freight trains... One of the persons accompanying us was an aging volunteer from the Empire State Passengers Association. He was in his 70s, a frequent user of this station decades ago, and often stopped to look quietly at certain things like this wrecked passenger services counter. Only he knows the personal memories such scenes triggered.... Then we went upstairs (the elevators are long gone) to the New York Central offices above the station. Some of the offices had views of the station concourses, but only after the frosted glass windows had been broken out by vandals over the past 30 years. Apparently New York Central used frosted glass because it didn't want its employees distracted by sights of the hustle and bustle of its own station... These are the archaeological remains of New York Central's train dispatching center inside Central Terminal. It controlled the busy mainline tracks west of Syracuse to Niagara Falls. But this was all relocated to a modern dispatching center at Selkirk Yard near Albany. One of our tour companions checks out one of three consoles... That isn't snow on the floor next to the cold radiator -- it's dust... Amazingly, the site owners have already hauled away more 300 tons of debris left by Conrail when they abandoned the facility in the early 1980s. But there are still many offices in the tower that look like this... And so our small tour group asked some final questions of our guide moments before thanking him and saying goodbye... But just to show that all is not desolate rail-wise in Buffalo, we headed east to Amtrak's Depew Station. On the way, we passed a CSX freight train getting ready to depart Frontier Yard... The CSX freight caught up to us at Depew, as we held on to our hats and hairpieces on a VERY windy day. Some gusts easily exceeded 50 mph. But the freight train was moving at only about 30 mph... I'm taking this a bit out of order, but I wanted to end with photographs of a passenger train. When we first arrived in Buffalo to meet our New York friends, we met at Amtrak's Exchange Street station downtown. Minutes after our arrival, Amtrak's "Maple Leaf" from Toronto heading for New York City pulled into this lesser used of Buffalo's two stations... A few passengers got off and about a dozen got on board. At Depew, dozens more boarded for the dash to the Big Apple... Even after we left Buffalo on that Halloween and headed west along Lake Erie's southern shore, our thoughts were still with the station whose ghostly chambers rattled and echoed with the sounds of the wind gusts and nothing else. It left a hollow, empty feeling that haunted us all the way back to Cleveland... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SAN FRANCISCO --A California Department of Motor Vehicles clerk under investigation for mailing a letter to a transgender customer condemning her sex change has quit his job.
DMV spokesman Mike Marando says the resignation letter submitted by Thomas Demartini late Wednesday did not allude to the incident.
Demartini had been on paid leave since October. That's when the DMV verified Amber Yust's claim that the clerk who processed her driver's license application sent her a letter at home calling her sex change "a very evil decision."
Yust has filed a claim against the state seeking damages.
Marando says Demartini received sensitivity training last year after refusing to assist another transgender customer.
Efforts by The Associated Press to reach Demartini for comment have been unsuccessful.

City Skyline ViewWednesday, December 16th, 2009
Did you know we have a city skyline view? I didn't know until just a couple weeks ago – and I'd lived in this house for nearly 3 months by then!
That's downtown Minneapolis, and your looking at the Wells Fargo Center (all lit up at the top), the IDS Tower (white line of lights at top), and a few other smaller buildings I don't know the name of. The Wells Fargo Center is my favorite building at night.
Mike was nice enough to point out to me the reason I never noticed the view was because of the trees – they had leaves so we didn't see this. So I guess it's better to say we have a seasonal view of downtown. We can see it from the east side of the house – the sunroom and the nursery. We might still be able to see it from the nursery in the summer, but not sure. We'll have to see once the leaves come back.
Sorry for the blurry photo. Pretty tricky to take a night shot with our camera, through a window, without flash. So it is what it is. A better picture can be found here.

I first noticed the problem when my computer would try to run a complete virus scan with avg. Since other functions worked ok, I forgot about it.
I'm currently using FAT32 and want to convert to NTFS and decided to run defrag first. Defrag locked up at 1% (I left it alone for 24 hours to make sure that I wasn't being too hasty). After unsuccessfully trying in safemode, my father recommended Norton Systemworks. He uninstalled avg and installed systemworks. We still couldn't defrag the c: and Norton Disk Doctor wouldn't run after startup, but chkdsk would. Norton Antivirus would lock up as well.
I then decided to try to convert to NTFS. It locked up after chkdsk ran first. It proceeded to return to this every bootup until I went in in safemode and told it to restore to the last known good boot.
Anyone got any ideas on what my problem might be?

Demi the Cougar is a rare animal found in Red Dead Redemption. She can only be found in the Liars and Cheats DLC while playing in Free Roam on the Silent Stead hunting ground. She appears after all waves of cougars have been killed and is usually accompanied by two-five regular cougars. You can't find her in single player mode.
Demi can take a large amount of damage, even from high powered weapons like the Semi-auto Shotgun or the Buffalo Rifle. It is advised to stock up on ammo before attempting the Silent Stead hunting grounds.
- If the player goes onto the roof or inside of the shack in the center of the hunting grounds, the cougars, including Demi, cannot reach them.

The Louisiana Tech women's basketball team's success in the early 1980s still stands as one of the crowning achievements of the school's athletic program. The Lady Techsters won national championships in 1981, 1982 and 1988 and appeared in six straight Final Fours from 1979-1984.
One of the more famous players from that team was Kim Mulkey, who we profiled as the No. 40 athlete on our list. As valuable as Mulkey was to her teams, one of her teammates took it a step farther.
Pam Kelly-Flowers was one of the most dominant low-post players in the history of women's college basketball. She was named to the Kodak All-American team three times, making her Louisiana Tech's only three-time All-American. In 1982, she won the Wade Trophy and the Broderick Award for being the nation's most outstanding player that season.
In her Louisiana Tech career, 6-foot center led the Lady Techster's to a 143-10 record with two national titles. She averaged 19.5 points and 9.9 rebounds in 153 games. Out of those 153 games, she scored in double digits 140 times.
Her number 41 jersey was also her career high game in points. In her senior season, Kelly-Flowers dropped 41 against UCLA.
Kelly-Flowers' Louisiana Tech records remain intact. She ranks No. 1 in scoring with 2,979, No. 1 in rebounding with 1,511 and No. 1 in free throws made with 593.
Soon after her career ended, Louisiana Tech retired her jersey number and enshrined Kelly-Flowers as a charter member into its athletic Hall of Fame. She was later inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in 1994 and the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in 2007.

After a torrent of constituent outrage and with a potential lawsuit from 13 state attorney generals brewing over the sale of his vote on health care reform, Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson is waffling again:
Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) said he's not yet "100 percent certain" he can vote for health reform legislation.
Nelson, who gave Democrats a crucial 60th vote to end debate on its healthcare bill and pass it, said he's hopeful he can support whatever final legislation comes before the Senate, but can't be sure.
"I hope so, but I'm not 100 percent certain of it," Nelson told The Chadron Record in an interview last Friday.
Nelson had been the last Democrat to hold out support for Democrats' health bill, having raised concern over the bill's inclusion of a public option, and later, its lack of restrictions on federal subsidies for insurance plans covering abortion. Nelson also announced his support for the bill after $100 million in assistance to Nebraska for new Medicaid obligations in the legislation were added.

Sedalia Police Crime and MSHP Accident Reports: Afternoon of April 2, 2013
The following Sedalia Police crime reports and Missouri State Highway Patrol accident reports are from the afternoon of April 2, 2013.
Burglar suspect arrested this (Tuesday) morning in the 600 block of West 7th
Around 8:00 this (Tuesday) morning, a Sedalia garbage truck driver reported a suspicious looking man going in and out of a garage in the 600 block of West 7th. Upon arrival, an officer made contact with the suspect as he was leaving the garage. The suspect gave the officer a false name but was recognized by an officer who arrived later. A check through dispatch also revealed the suspect, identified as 36-year-old Kenneth Price of Sedalia, had a failure to appear warrant out of Pettis County. At the time of the police report, Price was on 24-hour hold in the Pettis County Jail pending formal charges of burglary, possession of burglary tools and identification theft. He was also being held pending a $28,500 bond on the warrant.
Disturbance investigation results in drug related charges
At 2:30 Monday afternoon, Sedalia police were sent to a residence in the 700 block of East 11th on a disturbance involving drugs. Upon arrival, officers made contact with the suspect, who reportedly had an object in his mouth, which turned out to be a marijuana joint. The suspect, identified as 33-year-old Freddie Sisemore, was arrested, taken to the Pettis County Jail and placed on 24-hour hold pending state charges of possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Burglary complaint filed by a victim in the 1000 block of South Osage
Around 6:00 Monday evening, Sedalia police responded to a residence in the 1000 block of South Osage to investigate a burglary complaint. Upon arrival, the victim told officers a suspect had forced entry to the house through a rear door about 10 or 15 minutes earlier. The suspect or suspects then turned over furniture, kicked holes in the walls and broke two windows. There was no information on suspects at news time.
Several gas stoves, and some copper tubing stolen from a vacant house
According to a Sedalia police report, on Monday morning a victim came to the police station to report the theft of several gas stoves and some plumbing from a residence he owns in the 1200 block of South Lamine. According to the victim, thieves entered the vacant home sometime last month and stole two gas heating stoves, a gas cook stove and some copper tubing that was part of the plumbing system. There was no information on possible suspects and no estimate on the value of the missing items in the police report.

by Carl Irvine and Ehsan Wahidie, Summer Student-at-Law
The recent decision of the Tax Court of Canada in Marzen Artistic Aluminum Ltd v R1 is one of the first cases to expressly consider whether documents produced by a taxpayer constitute adequate "contemporaneous documentation" for the purposes avoiding the imposition of transfer pricing penalties under the Income Tax Act (the "ITA").
Under section 247 of the ITA, the Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA") can adjust the terms and conditions of cross-border transactions between a Canadian taxpayer and a non-arm's length party where such terms and conditions are not "arm's length". Where the CRA makes such a transfer pricing adjustment, the taxpayer is potentially subject to a penalty equal to 10% of the full amount of the adjustment (or $5 million, whichever is less), unless the taxpayer shows that it made reasonable efforts to determine and use an arm's length transfer price.
Crucially, however, subsection 247(4) deems a taxpayer not to have made reasonable efforts to determine and use an arm's length transfer price unless it has made or obtained "contemporaneous documentation" described in that subsection and updates such documentation, as needed, in subsequent taxation years. Proper contemporaneous documentation must provide an accurate description of:
(a) the property or services to which the transaction relates;
(b) the terms and conditions of the transaction, and their relationship (if any) to the terms and conditions of other transactions between the parties;
(c) the identity of the parties to the transaction and their relationship to each other;
(d) the functions performed, the property used or contributed or the risk assumed by the parties in respect of the transaction;
(e) the data and methods considered and the analysis performed to determine the appropriate transfer price ("Data and Analysis"); and
(f) the assumptions, strategies and polices, if any, that influenced the determination of the appropriate transfer price ("Assumptions and Policies').
The Marzen Decision
The facts in Marzen are convoluted, but at a high level, the case involved a fairly blatant (and ultimately unsuccessful) attempt by a Canadian corporation to shift income from Canada to its Barbados subsidiary. The CRA (successfully) reassessed the taxpayer and levied a transfer pricing penalty of approximately $500,000 on the basis that the taxpayer had failed to prepare (and provide) contemporaneous documentation.
At trial, the taxpayer argued that it had provided "contemporaneous documentation" in the form of (i) the relevant intercompany agreements, (ii) certain correspondence between the parties relating to certain elements of the transaction, and (iii) a business study prepared by one of the promoters of the business structure. Unfortunately for the taxpayer, Justice Sheridan rejected that submission, noting that the taxpayer "failed to provide records or documentation that fulfill the requirements of paragraph 247(4)(a) and specifically that the documents and records submitted by the taxpayer are not sufficient to satisfy subparagraphs 247(4)(a)(v) and (vi)", namely the Data and Analysis and Assumptions and Policies supporting the terms and conditions of the impugned transactions. As a result, the Court upheld the CRA's imposition of penalties on the taxpayer
Implications of the Marzen Decision
Apart from emphasizing the importance of ensuring that cross-border transactions with non-arm's length parties be conducted on arm's length terms, the Marzen decision also suggests that strict compliance with the "contemporaneous documentation" requirements in subsection 247(4) is required in order to avoid the imposition of transfer pricing penalties.
In particular, in order to satisfy the contemporaneous documentation requirement, documents prepared by taxpayers must fulfill all of the requirements contained in paragraph 247(4)(a). Among other things, they must document their Data and Analysis and Assumptions and Policies described in subparagraphs 247(a)(v) and (vi) on which their transfer pricing was based. Since the information described in those paragraphs typically goes beyond what would be contained in typical intercompany agreements and commercial discussions, taxpayers will need to make a conscious effort, and may need to seek expert advice, in order to satisfy these requirements.
It has recently been suggested that, heretofore, CRA practice as
to what constitutes acceptable "contemporaneous
documentation" has been somewhat lax.2 In light of
the Marzen decision, and the increasingly aggressive tenor of the
CRA in dealing with transfer pricing issues generally, taxpayers
should expect that the CRA will, in the future, require that
contemporaneous documentation strictly adhere to the requirements
set out in subsection 247(4) and should ensure that their
contemporaneous documentation satisfies those requirements.

When I was 15 years old I discovered that photography is what I like to do and what at the beginning was more a passion, a hobby, now became a job I'm very dedicated to.
People always wanted to keep their memories in different forms from basic prints to canvas. Now we have more options to print our memories or our projects.
In all these years I printed my pictures online or at the shops but not always the quality satisfied my expectations.
A month ago when I was scrolling trough my Facebook page I saw an ad about testing a product from Saal Digital UK for FREE. I thought "Sounds too good to be true, maybe is a scam".
But something said to me that I have nothing to loose. So I clicked the ad and it took me about 5 minutes to place my order and about 7 working days of waiting for the product.
I wanted to print my favorite picture from my last project "The Ballerina Project". I chose to go for Alu-Dibond Butlerfinish because I never printed on something like that.
I just want to say that Saal Digital UK has a great customer service and they emailed me everything I had to know about my order and I could track my order every day.
So after almost one week I received the order very carefully packed, I opened it and I was so surprised to see the amazing quality of the print. I think I was staring at the print for 5 minutes.
I will recommend this company to everyone because they exceed my expectations!
Thank you so much, Saal Digital UK, I can't wait for my next order!

Here is an amazing radio interview with a woman named "Nancy" who tells of her experiences with a close encounter with an alien reptilian being when she was 11 years old. She also talks about how this experience relates to other experience with her father who worked for the Unites States military directly on a secret project working with visiting aliens on Earth.
The stories being shared here are incredibly captivating with a lot of inside info on her experience growing up with a father working on a top secret alien cover-up. A must listen to interview.

This is a rich, dark chocolate topping or decoration that has lots of uses. It can be whipped as a filling or icing, or just poured over whatever cake you like.
Scared of the very word "ganache"? Well, you don't have to be with this recipe! This is THE easiest ganache recipe I've ever used. Since I was out of dark chocolate (which I highly recommend), I had to use semi-sweet chocolate chips--1 cup worth--and threw them into my food processor to save time and energy from chopping. Once they were all chopped up and the whipping cream (didn't have heavy cream, either)was nice and bubbly, I turned the processor on and slowly poured in the whipping cream. Stopped, scraped the sides, mixed it again, took the blade out (chunks of chocolate will stay on the blade, and you don't want the chunks of chocolate falling onto your cake when spreading the mix!), and put the mixture in the fridge for 15 minutes. When the mix was a few notches looser than wiggly jello, I slowly poured the mix over my chocolate truffle cheesecake (which was cooled completely). I had previously run a knife around the cheesecake and loosened the edges from the pan, then all but snapped the spring-form pan back into shape, leaving a slight space for the ganache to drip over the sides of the cake. Let the cheesecake refridgerate overnight and you've got a big hit! Note: after you've poured the ganache over the cake, use your finger to pop any air bubbles, so the finished product has a beautiful complextion. Also, the better the quality of choclate, the better the ganache. Don't go cheap on the choclate if you want a killer ganache!! - 03 Jun 2007 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
If you whip this in your mixer for 5 minutes or until it changes from a dark brown to a light brown, it will make the most wonderful frosting! VERY YUMMY!!!!!! - 02 Aug 2002 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Outstanding and easy!!SO worth it for both flavour and presentation. Suggestions: Be EXTRA careful not to let any water get into your chocolate, as it will seize- not a good thing. Let the chocolate thicken a bit before pouring, place your cake on a rack over parchment paper for easy clean up, and take your cake off the rack and put on to your serving plate before the ganache has set- otherwise it can attach to the rack and tear when you lift it off. A wonderful recipe sure to win compliments from all!!! - 27 May 2007 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)

Hi everyone, Chibi here 🙂 It's been a couple of months since I've watched Line Walker 2 – The Prelude but I found myself constantly listening to its sub theme songs. Forgot Myself 忘記我自己 by Hana Kuk and Know One's Place 安守本份 by Vivian Koo are both played throughout the series quite a lot, so I decided to have a crack at translating it into English for you. Below you'll find the Lyrics in Chinese, Pinyin (for those who want to sing it!) and of course my English translation. Enjoy!
Line Walker 2 – The Prelude Ending themesong 'Forgot Myself' 忘記我自己 by Hana Kuk 菊梓喬
English translation
Please credit K-TVB.net if reposted.
Forgot Myself
The role you play, will meet you at any time
Required to be in danger, with no escape
The book of life has secretly been written
I'm fated to be with you through place and date
*Who used to say they longed for dullness
Obviously I want to be happy, and live simply
While your morals are like quicksand, scattered everywhere
Struggling to face disaster
**So I remember you then forgot myself
Snow storms along the way, I won't be afraid of death
I can afford to make mistakes, ignoring all the gossip
In my lifetime, I will fly with you
***Since I discovered the more mysterious you are, the more self deception
I'm sinking happily, please don't reach out to save me
Hurt from burning myself, losing my luck
No regrets exhausting my reserve, willing to be fatigued

I have a few fundamental problems with color theory and how people are using it.
I believe color theory is extremely important. There are proven physical and psychological effects that different hues have on people.
The problem I have is more one of interpretation. There have been countless studies on this subject, however I have never seen a single one where the cause and effect doesn't seem, to my anyway, to be forced. Most of them try and attach a set of emotional adjectives to different colors or color pallets. We as humans have too wide a gamut of emotions for colors to be that simple.
Variations of different colors mean something drastically different depending on someones culture heritage. Even within the same country different colors could mean different this depending on your demographic and/or socioeconomic position.
What we can do is study the direct physical effects of color use that information to allow designers to use colors based on what effect they are trying to achieve. Instead of emotion, we should measure heart rate, blood flow, pupal dilation, sweat, brain activity, breathing rate, etc. We then need a larger variety of tests in order to measure a extensive variation of purposes, such as productivity, health, cognitive function, information retention, etc. We also need to do the exact same test over a vast span of time with varied demographics at different countries all over the world.
I doubt a study of this magnitude will ever be done on to my satisfaction. However to be fair this study may already exist, and I may just be ignorant. At the end of the day, even with this level of information we as Designers need to be able to take this data and throw it all out the window; sometimes taking the risk is more important.

text: Yo! Planning to build a new authority website, something that will run and earn for a long time, something that will be fun doing. Help me out to build some ideas. I have two very skilled programmer/web developer friends that I can count on, I myself can Photoshop and do all the boring work (content writing, social media marketing, etc), and two more other who's capable of doing SEO. Yup we are a bunch of pals who's thinking about doing something great, something all of us can contribute to. The problem is money, we wouldn't dare to expend so much as a start up.. It would be better we literally won't spend anything at all. Help me out gather some ideas. Well if you are willing to invest or anything that will help, that would be great. But take note that we must plan everything first, plan everything thoroughly and carefully. Cheers!

I am currently job hunting and let me tell you, it's as boring as it sounds. It's generally a slog and then every now and then you get a little glimmer of people being lovely and helpful and great. I met for an interview last week and had the nicest experience; not only was the lady I met with absolutely delightful, she also made all my fashion senses tingle with happy. She was basically rocking that whole pulled together-artsy-professional look from her cool hair cut to her leopard print ankle boots. But! What really captured me was she was wearing a sophisticated sweater with a tiny little enamel bird pin where a logo would be. Now... it might be that everyone already knows to wear ...Continue reading
DIY Glitter Blazer
For a while now I've been planning to do a mini series on several ways you can snazz up a basic blazer. Although blazers are usually associated with a little bit colder weather I think they are perfect for summer evening events when you just need an extra layer. I wore this glitter blazer to the Henley regatta and got so many people asking me where it was from! It's a little bit of gameshow-host-chic but subtle enough not to be utterly ridiculous. You will need: A basic blazer (I bought mine from Primark!) Some masking tape Newspaper Gold fabric paint Fabric glue which dries clear Gold Glitter Glitter glue 1. First lay you blazer completely flat and measure where you want you ...Continue reading
The Lobster Dress
Today I wore one of my favourite dresses; my lobster dress. I made this dress a couple of months ago but I've kind of been tweaking it ever since. I never quite got the darts on the bust right; I adapted my pattern from another dress I'd made and for whatever reason when I made this dress up the darts looked kind of weird and pointy- not a brilliant look.Since then I put a horizontal dart across the bust containing the weird nipple darts I had somehow managed to create and now it fits perfectly. The only thing which is slightly annoying is that the Lobsters on the chest are now a bit dissected but ah well at least it fits now! Hooray for random adjustments!I hand painted the fabric ...Continue reading
DIY Cherry Cardigan
Today I have a cute little DIY to make you feel all fruity and ready for Summer! My last exam is tomorrow and so Summer is feeling oh so near and yet oh so far at the same time. For that reason I totally need this cardigan to add that much needed injection of adorable. The thing I love best about this cardigan is it is damn easy to make! The cutting and stitching may take a little while but it's pretty repetitive and therefore a good project to do in front of the telly. You will need: Green felt- make sure it's quite high density so that the stems won't just pull off. Red PomPoms (I cut mine off one of those PomPom trims) Scissors Red thread Green thread White cardigan 1) ...Continue reading
Embroidered pockets
I always used to sort of avoid embroidery projects. It seemed like a bit of a mystical skill which some people possessed but you had to spend a long time learning, so I just used to steer clear of it, but for some reason this year I just decided to leap right in. I guess this isn't really embroidery its more just stitching around string but it has a really amazing effect and it's a great way to get over embroidery anxiety (I have no idea if anyone else has this neuroses, it's probably just me). I decided to decorate some pockets of a dress I was making but you can decorate just about anything as long as you have access to both sides of the fabric. You will need: Something to ...Continue reading
Inspired by Seuss
Today I am feeling inspired by doctor Seuss. I was never really a fan as a kid because I was scared of the illustrations, (WHY DO THE FISH LOOK LIKE MAMMALS!?) I still kind of am actually. But I love the colour schemes used and the rhymes always make me giggle so I've decided just to accept the whole thing. I bought this T-shirt in the Doctor Seuss theme park in America.

text: Mille Miglia, (Italian: "Thousand Miles"), the most famous of the Italian road races for automobiles. Although the course was changed 13 times in the 23 years the race was run, it often started and ended in Rome, winding through the mountains and smaller towns of Italy. The first Mille Miglia was run March 26–27, 1927, starting in Brescia, with the winner returning just over 20 hours later and averaging 48 mph for the race. The race was banned by Mussolini in 1939 after several spectators were killed in a crash in the 1938 race. It was reinstated in 1947 but was discontinued after the 1957 race when a crash killed 2 drivers and 11 spectators.

8/21/2006: Close-up of the world's sharpest man-made item
It all seems very impressive, but I don't have a good physics background. All I know is, the next time somebody calls me "needle dick", I'll have a really good comeback: tungsten needle dick.
(Oh please, a dick joke is always appropriate. I'm uncouth, or something.)
Bullitt Monday Aug 21 01:27 PM
an electric tungtsen needle dick for that matter
AureliusVin Monday Aug 21 01:44 PM
I wonder, you would even feel the needle if it were to penetrate your skin?
axlrosen Monday Aug 21 02:06 PM
Look out - it's Nano-Snakes on a Plane!!
Elspode Monday Aug 21 05:59 PM
Okay, I'll bite. If atoms are whirling fields of nuclear particles...and they are...then how can we "see" an individual atom?
The 42 Monday Aug 21 06:31 PM
Think about it this way: Of course we have to be able to see atoms- if you can't see atoms you can't see anything, and obviously there is such a thing as sight, so we must be able to see atoms.
xant Monday Aug 21 06:48 PM
It's all probability. You're seeing where matter probably is, most of the time (it was there at some point, or it wouldn't have been imaged). That's all you *ever* see, it's just that it's easier to grasp the probabilities involved when you're looking at a single atom.
capnhowdy Monday Aug 21 07:30 PM
I think it's a jelly monster.
pdaoust Monday Aug 21 07:49 PM
I think the reason we see them as lumps is that this photo was probably taken with a scanning tunneling microscope. It can resolve to the atomic level, each atom appearing as a foggy gray dot (I believe the image is created by measuring the density of electrons, which of course is greater around an atom). I'm guessing that they took the STM image and applied a few Photoshop filters to make it look way more wickeder.
capnhowdy Monday Aug 21 08:26 PM
heehee... more wickeder. Catchy!
xoxoxoBruce Monday Aug 21 09:17 PM
Ah-ha, so that's what the needles are used for.
busterb Monday Aug 21 09:45 PM
"The real benefit of the sharp tungsten tips, he believes, will be as superb electron emitters. Being so slender, they would emit electrons in a bright, narrow, stable stream."
richlevy Monday Aug 21 11:56 PM
Can you imagine bundling a million of them into a shotgun shell and firing them at a target? As flechettes would they obliterate the target or leave it looking unscathed?

onetrack Tuesday Aug 22 10:32 AM
So .. if someone says to you .. "you're about as sharp as a tungsten needle under a microscope! .. " .... would that be the ultimate put-down of the 21st century??
The 42 Tuesday Aug 22 04:29 PM
No, that would be "You're as big as a tungsten needle!..."
footfootfoot Friday Aug 25 10:15 PM
I've seen the needle and the damage done
footfootfoot Friday Aug 25 10:15 PM
I'm waiting for a nitrogen sharpening stone to be able to put a molecular edge on my tools.

What will you have to say after reading Weird Stuff?
Black Magic Is Used Against Us Every Day, Slack Magic Can Keep Us Free Finally, a book that successfully addresses both self-improvement and the issue of mind control of the masses. The same creative magic that can allow us each to be all we were meant to can also be twisted and perverted to make us fall in line and virtually imprison ourselves. This book is fun, with lots of cool art work and illustrations, and I look forward to future volumes!
Wickety Wex Just popped in to write a few words. Freeman and Jaime; love the book. The amount of times my mind has been blown are uncountable. I am constantly excited to read more and more. The one thing that bothers me the most is that with all the "mark of the beast" symbolism that is found in our pop culture, why does it relate to the bible so much if the Freemasons are basically Jewish Kabbalah practitioners? How does 666 actually relate to what happens to us as individuals when we become subject to this hidden symbolism? If I come across a reference or a pop culture symbol that turns out to be some how inherently satanic, what is the affect that these "Culture creators" are going for? Do you have to understand the symbol to actually be affected by it? Another thing I discovered while playing Call of Duty for the Ps3 is a mission called "Shock and Awe". at the end of that mission there is a nuclear explosion in the middle eastern country that can be seen from space! This game came out 6 years ago!! Incredible. I can't wait to get the next one and the next and the next after that. I wish we could come meet you in person but unfortunately we live way up in farm land in perth county Ontario. Keep up the great work. your an inspiration to our generation.
Down the rabbit hole in a nutshell. I have been anticipating this magazine! So well put together and an easy read for anyone wanting to go down the rabbit hole. The people in my house have been hesitant to look through it, but I can tell that they're very curious. Everyone will find truth in their own good time. Would definitely recommend!
The TRUTH finally! Freeman and Jamie have written something that explains what our complicated world is really about. I now understand what the performances by Lady GAGA and Britney Spears really mean! What M&M means by RAINMAN! I even finally understand what MAGIC really is. If you want to understand our world - you need to read this! ITS the real thing - ITS the UNDERSTANDING!!!
Amazing Stuff So worth the read. The book explores how easily we can be mentally manipulated through commercials, advertising, television, movies, etc. Delves deeply into the esoteric.
A must-have for Slack Magicians! Weird Stuff, true to its title, brings together research into the occult, popular culture, conspiracy, science, religion, and more. It's to the authors' credit that the book is also entertaining, accessible, and fun. There is no book like this, and the chapter, A Treatise on Slack Magic, is priceless. Highly recommended.
Wow! Fantastic Magazine Weird Stuff magazine is fantastic. The articles are full of thought provoking content. The artwork is top notch and engaging. The article on Slack Magic is priceless! You get so much, for such a small price! Order now don't delay you won't be disappointed.
Pure Awesomeness!!!!! I am absolutely loving this magazine!! I haven't finished but couldn't wait to write a review. Freeman and Jamie have such a knack for taking piles of information and organizing it into a way that All can understand. The magazine forces the reader to reevaluate what we've been taught about magic and causes one to ask questions as to why it's been looked upon as taboo in our society. It also empowers us to come to our own conclusions about what the "rulers" of the world are up to. Can't wait for volume #2!!!!
amazing compilation. Simply put anybody who studies the esoteric must read "Weird Stuff" it will connect so many dots and blow even the most knowledgeable mind . 5 stars Freeman & Jamie have created an awesome tool for easily spreading the awareness that what we've been taught to call the "Real World" is an illusion that we've been programmed to help create and support through our (relatively unconscious) belief in it. It comes out at a critical time for Americans and the World in order to help those who are recognizing that something is desperately wrong to see just what that is and how to take their authentic power back. Freeman has been at the cutting edge of this spiritual awakening of human consciousness for many years now with his TV & radio shows, website and artwork. Along with his wife Jamie, and Monty Python & Diva their dog, they just finished making a sacred spiral of the United States in a school bus, reversing the trip the Merry Pranksters made back in the day. They stayed with friends along the way and helped spread the good news that, together we can turn this world back into the paradise it was always meant to be. This is why we're here! :) This book/magazine represents a quantum leap in the on-going awakening going on in America (and the World) at this time. This is one fantastic way you can and help spread the word helping more people wake up faster with less trauma. :)
