• By Janine Pineo •
I don't set out on quests intentionally.
It's simply that the garden makes a request from time to time and I have to find it. Easy, right?
While that looks good on paper, I have discovered these quests aren't easy because "finding" is involved.
Take this year's first big request quest: The garden needed organic fertilizer. The business where I always bought it was no longer in business.
I found a new supplier – more than 50 miles from home.
I later discovered another brand that also might do the trick. It's sold about 12 miles from the Pineo homestead.
I live. I learn.
Then came the next request: poles.
As in beanpoles. Also pea poles, flower poles and, this year, cucumber poles.
My old poles were disintegrating from the pointy end up – if they even had a pointy end left. Most were less than 5 feet long, which affected how the vines produced.
The business where I bought my 6-foot-long poles was the same now-defunct business where I bought my fertilizer.
One should heed cliches, especially the one about putting all your eggs in one basket.
I knew I probably could find poles at the mo
Just last year, I tried to beef up my dwindling pole collection by buying a few new ones of a national brand that shall remain nameless but only because she is now a convicted felon and I wouldn't want to add to her troubles. I was thrilled to find them because not only were they 6 feet long, they also were planed to a smooth finish, which cut the splinter potential down considerably.
They were, however, puny. Not even an inch in diameter. I remained hopeful until behemoth bean vines wrestled them to the ground. I will grant the puny poles this: The vines even tipped the metal poles I used to reinforce the wooden ones.
I thought about duct-taping two puny poles together, so I headed back to the nameless garden center this spring and found only 4-foot-long bamboo poles.
Not a hardwood stake in sight.
I tried another garden center and found 5-foot poles. If it was 6-foot stakes I wanted, I was told, then I needed to go to the far, far side of the building in the lumber section.
Off I marched, wondering what kind of goose chase this was.
It turned out to be one for metal stakes, the kind used to install wire fencing.
My ears began to ring as I thought about pounding in three dozen. I wondered about the effect on my garden's ambience.
I left.
I tried the 12-miles-from-home store. No luck, but a suggestion: lumberyard.
I called one, asked for 6-foot garden stakes and was told they had 5-foot ones.
I began to wonder what looby decided 5-foot stakes were all that the gardening public needed. Don't these people ask? Are trees growing only 5 feet tall now before they whack 'em down? Do we convict the only woman with enough intelligence to sell 6-foot garden stakes and then offer only 5-foot poles to distance ourselves from any chance of being compared to you-know-who?
As you can see, I was beginning to lose patience, if not a grip on reality. My simple errand had blossomed into a full-fledged Holy Grail mission to discover a source for 6-foot-long poles.
I decided to swing by another lumberyard on my way to work. There I was, spit and polished, asking for 6-foot garden stakes.
Nope, had 5-foot stakes.
They had 8-foot tree stakes.
Hmmm, that might do, I said. Diameter?
About two inches, they said.
Twice the size of the old ones, I said. If only they weren't so long, those would work nicely for my beans.
Well, they'd like to see what kind of beans I was growing if I thought it necessary to have tree stakes to hold them up.
Oh, just regular beans, I said. I began to feel like a circus sideshow as more men sidled past the counter to take a look at the you-insert-the-adjectives woman at the cash register. Amazingly ingenious or wildly wacky, I couldn't tell what they were thinking. (Actually, I could. I wonder if I should have told them I can be wildly wacky.)
Nah, I decided, 8-foot stakes were too big for my car. I pointed out my tiny-to-them-spacious-to-me vehicle.
Headed to work, I said. Didn't want poles poking out of the trunk.
They could cut them to size, they said.
Sold, I said.
When I told them how many, their response hinted that they doubted my ability to comprehend how much space three dozen stakes would take. There were vague mumblings about what kind of garden needed that many poles before they said they didn't know how I was going to fit the stakes in that car. They even suggested they could leave my stakes at the gate so I could return with a more suitable vehicle after closing time and then load my purchase.
Oh, just watch me.
After driving to the loading area, I pulled on gloves, folded down the back seat and loaded up the shortened poles. For good measure, I also tossed in all the ends that had been cut off.
And guess what? There was still room for me in the car.
My glow of triumph lasted until I had to pound in all those stakes. I have determined that in previous years I was driving in toothpicks.
As I surveyed the garden for the umpteenth time from atop my cement block – I couldn't get enough leverage to pound them in from ground level and had to cart around the cement block and a sledgehammer to every pole position – I had high hopes that this would be the year the beans would stay upright.
And victory would finally be mine.
Give it a month. Then we'll know who wins.
First published in the Bangor Daily News in July 2004.
2013 update: The hardwood stakes have proven more effective at holding down the black plastic mulch. I have opted for 6-foot bamboo stakes. Not the puny kind, but 1-inch thick ones that seem to stand up well over the summer. They last in the beans for a couple of years before moving on to tomato or pea stakes. You live; you learn.

The board of the Sequoia Union High School District is holding three community meetings -- on Thursday, Oct. 20, Tuesday, Oct. 25 and Wednesday, Oct. 26 -- to discuss subdividing the district into separate voting areas, one for each member of the Board of Trustees.
The 19.4 square miles and nine communities that make up the district represent extraordinary diversity in ethnicity, income and education levels of the families that live in the southern half of San Mateo County.
And to reflect that diversity on the school board, to comply with the California Voting Rights Act, and in response to the threat of a lawsuit from a Latino civil rights group, the board will be discussing maps that show five ways to subdivide the district.
Earlier this year, the district commissioned the National Demographics Corp., a specialist in local government redistricting, to analyze the district and create a series of draft maps. The analysis shows that of the district's 243,514 residents, 51 percent are white, 30 percent are Latino, and 12 percent identify as Asian American and 4 percent as African Americans.
To pass legal scrutiny, such maps should account for the existence of neighborhoods and for factors such as race, income level and school attendance area, demographers said. Race must be a criteria, but it cannot be the only criteria. It should also be possible to traverse an entire area without leaving it, demographers said.
The board chose five draft maps: four that subdivide the district into five trustee areas and one that divides it into seven areas. One key criterion, board member said: avoid creating trustee areas that have the effect of linking a board member to a particular comprehensive high school.
Board members in the Sequoia district are elected at-large, meaning that each board member is elected by voters from the entire district. The board would replace that system with one in which voters from each trustee area elect a board member. The candidate would have to live within the area's boundaries.
Since the Voting Rights Act came into effect in 2002, it has figured in decisions to switch to sub-district elections in at least 135 school districts, 27 community college districts, 30 cities and one county (San Mateo County for Board of Supervisors elections), the report says.
Of the five current Sequoia board members, all are white and none lives in a Latino community. In March 2015, the board appointed Laura Martinez of East Palo Alto to complete the term of retiring member Olivia Martinez (no relation), who lived in Menlo Park. In November 2015, Laura Martinez ran for election as an appointed incumbent but did not win enough votes to retake her seat.
The Oct. 20 meeting is set for Carrington Hall auditorium at Sequoia High School at 1201 Brewster Ave. in Redwood City. The Oct. 25 meeting takes place at the Fair Oaks Community Center at 2600 Middlefield Road in Redwood City. The Oct. 26 meeting is set for the East Palo Alto Academy at 1050 Myrtle St. in East Palo Alto. All meetings begins at 7 p.m.

By Maria Waskiel-Smit, Event Co-Ordinator at the King's Centre, Oxford
The task of organising a great event can be a bit daunting at first, especially if you are not an experienced event co-ordinator, or project manager.
At the King's Centre, Oxford, we have hosted pretty much every type of traditional event imaginable for a wide range of clients. From intimate business networking events, food and drink festivals and wedding receptions through to industry conferences for thousands of delegates.
I am often asked: how can I ensure my event is a success? Event planning is always a huge undertaking and while every event is unique there are some key consistent points that ensure it is a success, whatever the size of the event.
Here are my top five tips to make your event a success:
Make sure you appoint a lead person to co-ordinate the event. Communication is key to delivering a successful event and having a central person who manages the plan and liaises with key parties consistently is vital. Regular dialogue with the venue, caterers, event staff and the like will be key to the smooth running of your event.
It Is important to set your overall goals at the beginning, as this will help you ensure you make the right decisions early on and throughout the process. Think about what you want the event to be, who your target audience is and how you will attract them and engage with them. Once you understand your objectives you can devise a strategy and make sure you select the right venue, catering, decorations, apply the appropriate marketing and create the right look and feel to suit your event. Ultimately you will want your guests to enjoy your event and form lasting positive memories of it. At the King's Centre, Oxford we always work with clients to ensure they can use our space effectively to create a suitable environment for their event to be a successful.
Like any project agreeing an appropriate budget early is important to enable you to plan how you can use it and make effective decisions. We advise being realistic and remember to allocate a contingency of 10 to 15%. Shop around for suppliers and get comparative quotes. It is always worth asking for referrals and advice. Having a good idea on how many guests you will have will be key when booking a venue and organising catering.
Use project management software to help you plan your event. You can then categorise your event into sections and list your items under each area and input deadlines. This will help you stay on track, secure suppliers early, prioritise and delegate tasks and help you avoid a last-minute panic. You won't be able to do everything at once, so a planner will help you map out the activity and prioritise and delegate tasks on a daily and weekly basis.
This is key to ensuring a high attendance of the right people to your event. Return to your objectives and consider what your event is seeking to achieve. What benefit will your event offer to guests? What will entice them to attend? It might mean booking key-note speakers, or a sought-after artist. Consider what day of the week would be the best for your target market. Also consider what sort of venue and catering would be appropriate for them. Lastly do not forget to consider transport, we find this is often overlooked by many event organisers. The King's Centre, Oxford is just a ten-minute walk from Oxford rail station and is on a main bus route. We have also partnered with local taxi company 001 Taxis to ensure a complete transport offering is available for our guests.
Of course, this is not an exhaustive list and other details will also apply in planning your event. But if you use these five core areas as a platform to plan your event you will be starting in the right way.

BEMIDJI -- The Bemidji State men's hockey took a 2-1 lead into the third period Saturday night, Dec. 8, but Alabama Huntsville struck back for three goals to erase the deficit and split the Western Collegiate Hockey Association series with a 4-2 win at the Sanford Center.
Following a scoreless second period, the Chargers (2-14-0, 2-8-0-0 WCHA) came out swinging in the third.
Bauer Neudecker scored the game-tying early in the frame and Cam Knight delivered on the power play for the go-ahead goal less than a minute later en route to the win.
"(UAH) deserved what they got in the third period," said BSU head coach Tom Serratore. "They played the type of game they needed to play and we never got into a rhythm.
"But at the end of the day, unacceptable. We had a 2-1 lead going into the third period at home and we end up losing the game. So that's on us."
It appeared early as though the Beavers (7-7-2, 5-4-1-0 WCHA) would prevail as they did in Friday's 4-0 win.
Charlie Combs picked up where left off from his hat trick Friday, netting his fourth consecutive goal to start things off for BSU. The sophomore put the puck on his backhand and lifted it past goalie Jake Theut for the game's opening goal.
Dillon Eichstadt buried a long shot from the point to score the Beavers' second goal in a span of 1 minute, 5 seconds, making it 2-0 at the 8:09 mark of the opening period. The score came off a faceoff just three seconds into a 4-on-4 situation.
However, shortly after BSU killed its first penalty of the night, the Chargers tallied their first goal of the weekend.
Connor Wood banged in a rebound on his second chance to halve the Beavers' lead at 12:15 of the first. The goal was the first of four unanswered strikes for UAH, though the teams first played through a scoreless second period lacking in chances.
"We weren't efficient in our play the first 40 minutes, but we still had the lead," Serratore said. "But it was hard. They defended hard, they relieved pressure any chance they could get."
Only a moment after killing a penalty, the Chargers equalized on Neudecker's goal at 3:56 of the third period.
The Beavers were penalized simultaneously with the goal, setting UAH up on a power play. Knight received a centering pass from beside the net and sniped in the eventual game-winning goal, just 38 seconds after the equalizer.
Alex Ierullo had a chance to level the score at 3-3, only for UAH to take a two-goal lead moments later. Connor Merkley collected a rebound in front and gave the Chargers the insurance goal with under seven minutes to play en route to the 4-2 victory.
The four goals were the most in a game this season for Alabama Huntsville.
Combs finished with a goal and an assists to lead the Beavers with two points.
Zach Driscoll made 13 saves in the loss as he moves to 3-3-1 on the season. Jake Theut stopped 21 shots to earn his first win of the year and improve to 1-5-0.
The Chargers finished 1-for-4 on the power play, while the Beavers went 0-for-4 on the advantage.
Bemidji State continues its four-game home stand to close the first half of the season next weekend with a home series against Alaska Anchorage, Dec. 14-15.
The Beavers will have a chance to collect more points before the holiday break, though they left some on the table Saturday.
"We had an opportunity tonight to get a little separation in the standings," Serratore said, "and we didn't do that."Alabama Huntsville 4, Bemidji State 2

Southampton booked their place in the third round of the Capital One Cup with a comfortable 5-1 victory at Oakwell.
Saints came through a potentially awkward evening against Championship strugglers Barnsley with assurance, scoring four times in the second half to seal progression in the cup competition.
The visitors led 1-0 at half-time through a well-taken strike from Steven Davis which broke the deadlock after 26 minutes of play.
Jay Rodriguez added a second just four minutes into the new half, but a twist arrived when Tykes skipper Stephen Dawson cracked home an impressive strike to make it 2-1 before the hour mark.
The win looked safe when Emmanuel Mayuka struck his first competitive goal for the club by swinging a fierce strike into the top right corner for 3-1 on 66 minutes.
It was the two late strikes either side of the 90th minute though which added gloss to the success as Davis netted another, this time from the spot after Mayuka was brought down inside the area, before Ramirez settled the scoring with a neat finish.
There were further reasons to cheer as Mauricio Pochettino also handed senior debuts to three Saints Academy products late on as Omar Rowe, Harrison Reed, and Jake Sinclair all got a taste of the action, with Southampton making it a fourth consecutive win against the Tykes in all competitions, and maintaining their 100% record over the Tykes in League Cup action.
Saints made nine changes to the starting line up from the team that drew 1-1 with Sunderland in the Barclays Premier League on Saturday.
Only Jose Fonte and Jay Rodriguez kept their places as Mauricio Pochettino took the opportunity to rotate his squad of players and give opportunities to those who hadn't featured in the league action so far.
Welsh Under-21 winger Lloyd Isgrove was handed his first start for Saints in a senior role, whilst Development Squad members: Harrison Reed, Jake Sinclair and Omar Rowe was amongst the seven man substitutes' bench.
Saints got the match underway lining up in their new black and white strip for the first time in a competitive outing, with the travelling support behind Kelvin Davis's goal for the opening 45 minutes.
The visitors had a glorious opportunity to open the scoring inside the first minute of action when Rodriguez played Ramirez into the Barnsley area, but with 'keeper Mike Pollitt approaching, the Uruguayan dragged his shot wide as he aimed for the far post.
In the fifth minute, Ramirez whipped a tidy delivery from a free-kick on the left into the area, with Yoshida going closest to taking the vital touch, but not getting close enough to divert the ball past Pollitt.
The game opened out as Barnsley began to venture forward, but Saints remained the more comfortable side in possession as they were happy to build from the back when possible. One such move saw Fox get down the left to swing in a cross to the far post which Pollitt got his hands to, but despite letting the ball slip out of his hands, Rodriguez couldn't quite apply the finish from close range.
The hosts created their first real opportunity in the 18th minute when a long punt down field was flicked on by Chris O'Grady and into the path of fellow striker Marcus Pederson whose shot at goal had Davis scrambling, but the ball just dropped wide of the left post.
On 21 Ramirez forced a corner off Jimmy McNulty as the number 10 raced to meet Fox's cross. How the opportunity came about though, owed much to the persistence of Clyne, who carried the ball from right to left
Saints broke the deadlock in the 26th minute with a powerful finish from Steven DAVIS. The Northern Irishman played a one-two with Isgrove before setting himself to strike low into the bottom left corner for 1-0.
From there, the visitors looked likely to build on their advantage. Just past the half hour, a silky link up on the left resulted with Rodriguez lifting the ball into Cork's path, but the first time effort from the midfielder went into the side-netting.
Pederson attempted to level up for the hosts with an ambitious drive from range, but again he was off-target as Davis remained largely untroubled.
Rodriguez forced a low save from Pollitt going into the last ten minutes of the half, with Scott Wiseman on hand to avert the danger before Mayuka chased the rebound.
The chances kept on coming for Saints, and on 40 Ramirez almost produced a breath-taking finish when he guided Fox's cross into the far corner with a delicate chip, but the ball landed just the wrong side of Pollitt's left post.
The Tykes came close to working Kelvin Davis in the closing stages of the half, but former Saints loanee Jacob Mellis hit a rising drive just wide of the near post.
Despite some late attempts from the hosts to break forward, including a free-kick from Jim O'Brien which went all the way through the area, Saints remained in control going into the half-time break.
Barnsley got the second 45 underway, but the contest picked up from where it left off with Saints posing an initial threat. Another pinpoint pass from Fox released Rodriguez, who turned the last defender before shooting narrowly wide.
Isgrove then injected a fresh burst of pace to earn the visitors a corner, and before the clock had reached 50 minutes, Saints went 2-0 up.
A swift break forward involving Steven Davis and Jack Cork led to the ball finding its way to Jay RODRIGUEZ, who curled a sublime finish into the bottom right corner which Pollitt had no chance of keeping out.
The former Burnley man almost grabbed a quick-fire second just two minutes later when he collected an airborne pass on his chest before getting the ball out of his feet to strike a low shot off the post.
Out of the blue, Barnsley cut the deficit in half on 53 minutes when a thunderbolt from Tykes captain Stephen DAWSON fully 25 yards out, flew into the net past Kelvin Davis
Sensing an opportunity to catch Saints again, the hosts swiftly followed up with a double substitution as Pederson was replaced by Jason Scotland, whilst Tom Kennedy made way for Chris Dagnall.
The changes lifted the spirits amongst the home faithful who were desperate to see their side get back into the game, and the impact from Dagnall in particular ought to have yielded more when he found space inside the area, but he couldn't control the ball quickly enough to seriously test Davis.
On the hour mark, Ramirez made a break for goal, but was brought to ground before he could get his shot away. He dusted himself down to take the resulting free-kick, which whistled just over the crossbar with Pollitt left rooted to his spot.
Rodriguez attempted an acrobatic finish from a Ramirez corner before Barnsley almost scored again when Scotland's neat lay-off to Mellis saw the midfielder pull the trigger once again, but his volley went wide of Davis's right post once more.
The Tykes were forced to replace the injured Kelvin Etuhu with Tomasz Cywka on 65 minutes, and almost immediately afterwards Saints went 3-1 up.
The ball was played in from the right where MAYUKA took one touch to control the ball before unleashing a fierce strike into the top right corner. The goal sparked a wild celebration from the 695 travelling fans as well as the Zambian, who back-flipped his way over to greet his supporters.
Ramirez attempted a spectacular effort which was held by Pollitt before Saints handed out another debut, as Saints Academy star Omar Rowe replaced Isgrove in the 71st minute.
Rowe took straight to the rhythm of the game, playing a one-two with Ramirez and setting on a direct run into the box where his cut-back was unfortunately intercepted by a red shirt.
Saints briefly weathered another storm before taking full command of the contest, with Yoshida adding a calm nature to the defending, even bringing the ball out into the attacking half of the field.
Harrison Reed was the next young Saint to get a taste of the action. The midfielder, who signed a new contract with the club on Saturday, replaced goal scorer Rodriguez for the final ten minutes.
After Ramirez had blazed over from another free-kick, Saints could have gone 4-1 up when Steven Davis burst through and unselfishly laid the ball into the path of Rowe, but the low shot from the young winger was kept out by the legs of Pollitt.
Barnsley attempted to rally late on, but the final nail in the coffin was placed when Mayuka was brought to ground inside the area as he attempted to convert Reed's cross.
Mayuka gingerly got back onto his feet, as Steven DAVIS added another to the scoresheet in the 89th minute scoring with a well struck spot-kick to the right of Pollitt which although the 'keeper stuck a hand to, could not prevent from going in.
Mayuka was then replaced by Academy striker Jake Sinclair as three minutes of stoppage time went up on the board, but the scoring was not done there.
RAMIREZ saved the best until last by skipping his way through on the right hand side of the area before clipping a fine low finish at the near post into the net for 5-1.
Omar Rowe tested Pollitt again at the death, with the whistle sounding to see Saints settle for five.
Barnsley team: Mike Pollitt, Scott Golbourne, Tom Kennedy (Chris Dagnal 54), Jim O'Brien, Stephen Dawson, Scott Wiseman, Jimmy McNulty, Jacob Mellis, Marcus Pederson (Jason Scotland 54), Chris O'Grady, Kelvin Etuhu (Tomasz Cywka 65).

Saif's second home production goes on the floor
It looks like Saif Ali Khan's Illuminati Films has finally resolved the differences with Eros Entertainment that arose while producing Love Aaj Kal. The team has decided to co-produce Agent Vinod.entertainment Updated: May 31, 2010 13:56 IST
Hindustan Times
After the success of their first joint venture, Love Aaj Kal, it was believed that Khan and Eros would continue their association for Agent Vinod also given that the Imtiaz Ali-directed romantic comedy with Khan and Deepika Padukone had reportedly made a net profit of Rs 50 crore, after calculating the budget of Rs 45 crore and other deductions.
However, given the scale and magnitude of a spy thriller that Agent Vinod was expected to be, there were differences between Illuminati Films and Eros Entertainment.
According to a source associated with the movie, "They were looking at a budget of about Rs 55 crore. But last year's multiplex strike and the swine flu scare added to the aftermath of the economic slowdown. Eros personnel wanted to curb expenses and downsize the budget."
Reportedly, Khan didn't accept the re-sized budget of the film and so, Cinemax stepped in as the presenters of Agent Vinod. But Dinesh Vijan of Illuminati Films denies the involvement of Cinemax, saying that they were going ahead with the same budget they started off with.
The recent developments indicate that Vijan's statements were bang on and the exhibitor chain is not in the picture. "Eros is associated with Illuminati Films for Agent Vinod. The movie rolled on Friday night at a certain location in Kandivli," revealed our source.
While Khan, Vijan and Sunil Lulla of Eros were unavailable for comment, director Sriram Raghavan confirmed the news with a text message: "Yes, we begin shooting tonight (Friday night).
We're doing an action sequence with Saif and another actor. It's a flashback sequence. I can't reveal more."The reason: he was "in some prep" for the movie, the main shooting for which starts in Morocco next month.

The teams attempt to defend the Earth from invasion by the Elder Gods takes them to a creepy New England town, inhabited by one very nasty creature. And just when they need Black Alices abilities the most, a shocking turn of events puts her down for the count. Guest starring Swamp Thing!
Our heroes get out of thefrying pan and into the fire. The "frying pan" in this instance is the threatof being crushed by an entire ocean, and the "fire" would be a rural NewEngland mining town from the nineteenth century held captive by a giant wad ofphlegm with an eyeball. I suppose it's a pretty weak metaphor. You'll love theart, you'll love the writing, you'll love this book, and if you don't then youneed to go down to the arcade and take a spin on the Love Tester. You'll probably come up as "Cold Fish." Read Full Review
The art by Tom Derenick and colors by Jason Wright work well together. I particularly liked the scene where the winged lions arrive as well as the humorous old timey getups the team gets into to go to creepy New England. Read Full Review

How Do Foreign Citizens Living in the U.S. Get Taxed?
There's no single simple formula, so before you start crunching numbers, you need to determine your status.
Whether you're an American citizen or not, if you live in the United States, Uncle Sam wants his cut of your income.
However, there is no one-size-fits-all formula for figuring out exactly how much a foreigner living in the United States should pay. Instead, non-citizens must start by determining their alien tax status. There are four basic categories:
- Resident alien: This means you either pass the green card test -- which means you are a lawful resident of the U.S. -- or you pass the substantial presence test, a somewhat complicated formula based on how many days you lived in the country during the tax year (with some exceptions),
- Nonresident alien: Anyone who does not meet one of the above standards.
- Dual status alien: Someone who has been both a U.S. resident alien and a nonresident alien in the same tax year. This status typically applies to foreigners in the year in which they enter or depart from the U.S.
- Foreign student or scholar: This category applies to students, trainees, scholars, teachers, researchers, exchange visitors, and cultural exchange visitors.
Like most things involving the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), it's a bit more complicated than it looks at first. Still, once you determine your status, a foreign citizen living in the U.S. then simply has to pay up.
How much do foreign citizens pay in U.S. taxes?
The majority of citizens of other countries living in the U.S. have resident alien status. Generally, they pay their taxes in the same way they would if they were U.S. citizens. The IRS lays out exactly how it works on its website.
This means that their worldwide income is subject to U.S. tax and must be reported on their U.S. tax return. Income of resident aliens is subject to the graduated tax rates that apply to U.S. citizens. Resident aliens use the Tax Table and Tax Rate Schedules which apply to U.S. citizens found in the Instructions for Forms 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ.
Resident aliens can claim the same deductions as American citizens. In order to claim a spouse or dependent, however, each person claimed must have either a Social Security Number or an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number.
What if you are a nonresident alien?
The rules get more complicated for nonresident aliens: They don't report their global earnings to the IRS, but only the portion made in the U.S. There are two types of income that qualify, according to the IRS:
- Income that is Effectively Connected with a trade or business in the United States
- U.S. source income that is Fixed, Determinable, Annual, or Periodical (FDAP)
Effectively connected income -- meaning money made from U.S. sources that are connected with the conduct of a trade or business in this country -- is taxed after allowable deductions at graduated rates. The same rates that are used for U.S. citizens apply.
FDAP income, according to the IRS, "generally consists of passive investment income; however, in theory, it could consist of almost any sort of income." FDAP income is taxed at a flat 30% rate unless a lower rate has been agreed to in a treaty between the U.S. and the country where the nonresident alien is a citizen. No deductions can be taken against FDAP income.

What do students and scholars pay?
In most cases, foreign students and scholars living in the U.S. do not have to file taxes, but there are exceptions. They must report the following forms of income on U.S. tax forms:
- A taxable scholarship or fellowship, as described in Chapter 1 of Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education
- Income partially or totally exempt from tax under the terms of a tax treaty
- Any other income that is taxable under the Internal Revenue Code.
Students and scholars do not have to files taxes if their only income comes from foreign sources or interest income, even it it comes from a U.S. bank, credit union, or insurance company.
It's not easy
Even for Americans who have lived in the U.S. for their entire lives, the tax code can be confusing. For foreign citizens, the rules can be even more confusing. In many cases, the best course of action is to work with a tax professional who has experience in both the U.S. and your home country.

The University is not against social drinking but, recognising its responsibility for the welfare of students and employees, the use of alcohol should not have a detrimental effect on safety, attendance and work performance. In some working areas, therefore, alcohol should never be consumed during working hours (see Alcohol and the workplace).
The inappropriate use of alcohol can create health, safety and welfare problems at the workplace as well as reductions in efficiency and detrimental health effects for employees. The University of Exeter is committed to preventing these problems from arising. If, despite the University's attempts at prevention, issues regarding the inappropriate use of alcohol do occur, procedures are in place to deal with them.

Beach Belly Flop
Elias flopped down on the sand, like a beached seal. His tongue hung out and his jaw open wide with laughter. His legs were stiff and his toes pointed. His arms were stretched behind him. He was balancing on his belly!
I was sitting on our beach blanket watching from a distance and laughing with him. Groups of people walked by my son and couldn't help but laugh. They weren't laughing at him, they were delighting in him. Then they would look around to find his mother, and they would find me, laughing and cheering with each flop.
I have become more comfortable with people watching our family when we are in public. Sometimes Elias attracts attention when he is unhappy with his startling yelling. In those moments I have to do my best not to care what people think. I have to focus on what's best for my son, not what makes people feel comfortable.
But other times, like this time, I watch my son share contagious joy with others. I watch him change people. Happy or unhappy, the way Elias expresses emotion stops people in their tracks. Sometimes he reminds people of how fun life is, and other times he reminds them that life can look a little messy, and that's okay.
I never thought I would adjust to the stares. Some stares are more difficult than others, but they remind me that Elias is challenging how people live. When people stare they should also ask themselves the question…"should I flop on my belly like a seal and completely, with everything in me enjoy life right now?"

Bunions Surgery Recovery
The bunion, or hallux valgus, is a condition that affects the bones and joints associated with the great toe. It is one of the most common deformities of the forefoot. The condition develops slowly and results from the gradual dislocation of the joint, usually because of instability during gait. There is a displacement of the first metatarsal bone toward the mid-line of the body, and a simultaneous displacement of the great toe away from the mid-line (and toward the smaller toes). This causes a prominence of bone on the inside (medial) margin of the forefoot, this is termed a bunion. As the deformity progresses, the big toe will shift toward the outside of the foot. In severe cases, the big toe will actually overlap or under lap the second toe. It is often of a hereditary nature, but it is also associated with rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases. There are no exercises, splints or other devices that reliably correct a bunion. Orthotics can sometimes slow or halt the progression by addressing the instability which causes the deformity, but they cannot reduce the deformity.
Causes of bunions are foot injuries, neuromuscular disorders, or congenital deformities. People who suffer from flat feet or low arches are also prone to developing these problems, as are arthritic patients and those with inflammatory joint disease. Occupations that place undue stress on the feet are also a factor; ballet dancers, for instance, often develop the condition. Wearing shoes that are too tight or cause the toes to be squeezed together is also a common factor, one that explains the high prevalence of the disorder among women.
Symptoms include pain in and around the ball of the big toe, usually from the bone rubbing too much against the shoe. You may be unable to wear certain types of shoes due to the shape of the forefoot. The big toe appears to be bent inwards towards and in come cases over the inside toe.
The doctor considers a bunion as a possible diagnosis when noting the symptoms described above. The anatomy of the foot, including joint and foot function, is assessed during the examination. Radiographs (X-ray films) of the foot can be helpful to determine the integrity of the joints of the foot and to screen for underlying conditions, such as arthritis or gout. X-ray films are an excellent method of calculating the alignment of the toes when taken in a standing position.
Non Surgical Treatment
The non-invasive treatments for bunions are many and include changes in footwear, icing the sore area, over the counter pain medications, orthotic shoe inserts, and weight management. If these conservative measures fail to arrest your pain and discomfort, your foot and ankle surgeon may recommend a bunionectomy or similar surgical procedure, depending on your condition.
Surgical Treatment
If your bunion has progressed to the point where you have difficulty walking, or experience pain despite accommodating shoes, you may need surgery. Bunion surgery realigns bone, ligaments, tendons and nerves so your big toe can be brought back to its correct position. Orthopedic surgeons have several techniques to ease your pain. Many bunion surgeries are done on a same-day basis, requiring no hospital stay, using an ankle-block anesthesia. A long recovery is common and may include persistent swelling and stiffness.

National Trust Chairman Carl Simmons led the team on a visit to North & Middle Caicos last Saturday. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet the staff that help manage the heritage sites on behalf of the Turks and Caicos Islands and to see first hand what work is required. Wade's Green plantation was dry and hot but clearly the grounds were well kept and it was a very pleasant stroll around the ruined buildings. Recent renovations were inspected and many new ideas thrown around and noted. The drive across the island to Middle Caicos was met with a hearty lunch in the community center in Conch Bar courtesy of Kerrie Harvey; the Trust's long standing cave warden. Everyone was suitably impressed with the Conch Bar caves and most ventured further into their depths than they had previous explored. The raw nature of these caves were much applauded but some measures will need to be taken to ensure safety and well being for visitors and cave dwellers alike.

Sydney Film Festival 2011: AFR Suggestions31 May

SURVIVING LIFE: I am a Švankmajer nut. He is my third favourite director ever. I own all the films it is possible to own from him. I have also written on him and have mentioned him in numerous writings. I knew this film was on the brink of a release but as of yet I haven't been able to get my hands on it so naturally, this is my top selection of the films at the festival. I should stop here because I can get very carried away with Švankmajer. The guy is a genius, no doubt about it.
THE TROLL HUNTER: I was quite a fan of The Blair Witch Project, so to hear of a satirical Nordic film about trolls made in the same style made my jaw drop. I haven't seen too many Nordic films which is something I hope to rectify asap, and what better way to do this than by seeing a totally unique film like this one? Genre films like this don't come around as often as they should, so you have to enjoy them whenever you can.

DVD review: Of Time and the City (2008)7 Jul
"It's grim up north" could so easily have been the tagline for acclaimed British director Terence Davies' documentary ode to Liverpool, the city of his birth. His multi award-winning film, now available on DVD, is a return to his roots, and the superb archive footage of a post WW2 city, ravaged by bombs, grime and poverty shows us the conditions, influences and lifestyles which shaped a generation.
This highly personal trip was a cathartic experience for the director of DISTANT VOICES, STILL LIVES and THE HOUSE OF MIRTH, and we get to know Davies, and the city, through some amazing footage of backstreet slums, alongside the opulence of the Catholic churches which were a strong feature of his youth. His droll, and sometimes very waspish, commentary charts both the city's rebirth and regeneration in those baby boomer years of the fifties and sixties, as he discovers classical music, and grapples with his sexuality.
If I've got a (minor) gripe over this very thought-provoking film, it's Davies' blithe dismissal of the effect his hometown contemporaries The Beatles had on the people of Liverpool, and that city's image in the eyes of the whole world in the decade now known as the Swinging Sixties.
Quibbles aside, this is a very rewarding film, and the DVD also contains a revealing interview with Davies by David Stratton, and an extremely informative 14 page essay and illustrated booklet written by Brian McFarlane, an Adjunct Associate Professor at Monash University.

DVD Review: Mesrine (2009)28 Jun
Ben Buckingham is hanging out with ultra-violent crooks again. Perhaps I should vary the movies I send him… Want to do Garfield 2: A Tail of Two kitties next time Ben?
Forty minutes in and already there has been two beat downs, a knee-capping, an (off-screen) mutilation, and a murder. The first part of Mesrine, entitled L`instinct de Mort (The Killer Instinct), is living up to its name.
Mesrine: Public Enemy Number One (as it is titled in Australia) is a four hour crime thriller detailing the more lurid aspects of the real-life French criminal Jacques Mesrine. Throughout the '60s and '70s he committed numerous bank heists, kidnappings and murders, quickly making himself the number one public enemy in France. Continue reading
Tim Burton: The Exhibition (Australian Centre for the Moving Image)23 Jun
Today saw the unveiling of the latest in the Melbourne Winter Masterpiece series: TIM BURTON THE EXHIBITION at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image and I was lucky enough to be there. The exhibit is made up of over 700 pieces from throughout Burton's lengthy career, sourced from various private galleries, studio archives and even Burton's own home. It truly is an intimate look into the mind of a man with a very specific and recognisable artistic vision.
The Batmobile sits in the acmi foyer, guarding the entrance to Gallery 1 (where the exhibit is displayed). It's appearance is shiny, sleek and polished; three words I wouldn't use to describe any of the works of art deep within the gallery itself. After walking through the entrance, (a large ghoulish mouth,) a bright red glow lights the stairwell and gives the impression we're descending into the depths of something sinister. At the bottom, a podium had been erected, presumably for the purposes of the unveiling. It was surrounded by items from one of Burton's most popular films, EDWARD SCISSORHANDS, including the character's Gothic outfit, a topiary stag, and one of the actual 'scissorhands'. It was here that the likes of ACMI Director Tony Sweeney and Museum of Modern Art's Ron Magliozzi introduced the exhibit and highlighted some of the statistics behind both Burton's films (ALICE IN WONDERLAND is now the fifth highest grossing film of all time!) and the exhibit's original run at MoMA in New York (it's the third most attended retrospective behind only Picasso and Matisse!).
DVD Review: In the Electric Mist (2009)18 Jun
Tommy Lee Jones is Louisiana detective Dave Robicheaux, a former-alcoholic searching for a killer wanted for the grisly murders of a couple of young women in Bertrand Tavernier's atmospheric thriller IN THE ELETRIC MIST. He's haunted by some things he's seen, some things he's done, and the rather talkative ghost of a Confederate General.
The film features a terrific supporting cast with John Goodman as the lead suspect, a local crime boss by the name of Babyfeet Balboni. Peter Sarsgaard plays a heavy-drinking Hollywood star who's shooting a film in the area (that happens to be bankrolled by Balboni) and Kelly McDonald plays his actress girlfriend. The musician Levon Helm (former drummer of The Band) plays the ghost of John Bell Hood, the real-life Civil War General who's aggression and recklessness has plenty in common with the man he's haunting/helping.
Robicheaux certainly is reckless: slashing tyres, beating information out of suspects and getting answers from the other end of a shotgun, Jones plays him as a man who's a little fed up with the state of his county post-hurricane, and I don't just mean it's appearance.
Smooth jazz, beautiful shots of the swamp area and plenty of violence mixed with dodgy police work. A superb thriller that gets nearly everything right.

DVD review: Bronson (2009)17 Jun
Cinecultania's Ben Buckingham goes into lockdown with Britain's most notoriously violent criminal Mr Charlie Bronson
"They don't give you a star on the walk of fame for 'not bad' do they?", so states Charlie Bronson rhetorically, setting forth the agenda for his life: being bad, and being very good at it. Here we have a bio-pic of a different sort: the real life shenanigans of Britain's most notorious and violent criminal.
Since his initial imprisonment, a 7 year term for armed robbery in which he made off with almost nothing, he has spent little more than 4 months outside of prison walls as a result of hyper-aggressive behaviour. Hostage situations, endless fights with prisoners and guards, and generally psychopathic behaviour have been the cause of this endless incarceration.
Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn's Bronson doesn't try to explain this strange creature; there are no quick answers in his upbringing and it does not glorify violence nor the criminal world. Bronson is unlike all the film criminals we have seen before, and Refn's unusual film reflects this, preferring to ask questions of happiness and how do we live our lives than become an action piece or social commentary. Bronson is a deeply philosophical film. It is less about the individual, less about the specific events of Charles Bronson's life, a man of masks, than it is about the niches we carve out for ourselves in order to survive. Refn has skillfully created a film which speaks beautifully of the failure of acceptable norms of existence. For this reason, the reactions to this film will always be complex and difficult.

This cassette begins with a voice mail that I assume is from John's mother because a) She says a lot of things I feel only a mother would say and b) She calls him John. It's about him turning nineteen, so I don't know how recent it is, but hey, I will never grow tired of people putting sort of personal voice mails in their music to make a point.
Sometimes, it's the easiest way to do it because imagine if you were able to record everything anyone ever said to you and then use that audio how you see fit. Voice mails (and answering machines before that) allow that exact thing to happen, so yes, no one who leaves me a voice mail ever should feel safe from that happening to them as well.
The message gives way to screaming and some heavy rock sounds, which is quite a contrast to the acoustic guitar notes accompanying the spoken word prior. It would be easy enough to write this off as emo, but when has anything with music ever been easy? It'd be like writing The Beatles off as a rock band.
Hints of the full band version of Dashboard Confessional and Say Anything come out during the first side. The songs have meaning as well, as lines such as "I'm forgetting what it's like to have a good time" ring true to these ears. I don't know whether this has been established as a genre or not yet, but if it isn't there should totally be something called post-emo (Though most bands once called "emo" probably don't want those three letters anywhere near them)
A certain whiny quality came with being emo, like a lot of "You broke my heart, boohoo", but the music and lyrics on "On Moving On" has more of an old and bitter vibe, which not only goes with my being older but also the first line of lyrics on "In Utero" by Nirvana.
Side B brings out some female backing vocals, and I hear a bit more of something like Straylight Run in these songs, but overall this is just solid music with lyrics that I can relate to because it feels like anyone who has been around for as many years as I have has felt this way at least once before. Experiencing this on cassette provides you a means of making this feel even more personal.

American Landscape at Lehmann Maupin
Lehmann Maupin presents a group exhibition featuring works by Teresita Fernandez, Catherine Opie, Tim Rollins & K.O.S. and Nari Ward.
Titled American Landscapes, the show will demonstrate how each of these artists expands our perception of what a landscape is, and how the story of the United States is told through this representation. Examining the histories and realities that often receive only peripheral glimpses, the exhibition offers an alternative perspective on the genre of landscape. The exhibition will be on view until May 5, 2018.

Justice of the Peace Charged for Forgery
Justice of the Peace Charged for Forgery
Seymour Cole, Justice of the Peace for the parish of Kingston and Shadae Hood a trainee at Seymour Documents and Services, were both arrested and charged for Forgery, Conspiracy to Commit Forgery and Uttering Forged Documents by detectives from MOCA.
Allegations are that during the month of January 2018, Seymour Cole, the owner and operator of Seymour Documents and Services, affixed his signature and seal to several letters of recommendation for persons unfamiliar to him. This transaction would attract a service charge of Eight Hundred Dollars ($800.00). Further investigation revealed that Ms. Hood and Barrington Sinclair, who is employed as an Office Administrator would also affix Cole's signature and seal to recommendations even when Cole is out office.
Subsequently, Cole and Hood were charged and later offered station bail. They are scheduled to appear before the Kingston St. Andrew Parish Court on Wednesday July 11, 2018. However, Sinclair is still being sought by MOCA detectives for an interview.
MOCA wishes to remind members of the public who m ay have any information that could assist in any investigation to call MOCA at 876-906-6318, 876-906-5848 or 1-800-CORRUPT or by email at email@example.com More information is on the MOCA.gov.jm website or visit our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/MOCAJamaica and follow MOCA on Twitter @MOCAJamaica.

text: MJ Ultra - "LA '09" [Review] December 15, 2016 by Yung Miss in Music, Hip-Hop Rating: 4 out of 5 Usually when I hear a song start with a breakbeat, I assume that it is a track that I will be able to vibe to. MJ Ultra's "LA '09" did not disappoint! MJ lays very smooth pop vocals on the song and I found myself grooving along while he sang. Verse 2 is my favorite! 4/5 — Yung Miss (LA On Lock Blogger)

Eva Longoria, former Desperate Housewives star, will be cast in NBCs new soapy comedy, Telenovela.
The network announced on Friday that it has ordered 13 episodes of a single-camera comedy where the 39-year-old actress will play the "willful but popular diva Ana Maria, star of Latin America's most beloved telenovela, who strives to stay on top in a world where the drama on-camera is nothing compared to the drama off-camera," according to NBC News.
SEE ALSO: Eva Longoria directs inspirational film about "Little Mariachi"
Longoria is perfect for the role because there are few other actresses that have the international appeal she does. Her character will be able to effectively navigate the crazy lifestyle that comes along with putting together a daily show.
Not only will Longoria have her plate full with acting in the show but she will also be a producer on the project.
At the TV critics press tour, NBC entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt also touted "Shades of Blue," a "dark cop show" starring Jennifer Lopez that will start production in June. Additionally, former "X-Files" star David Duchovny will play "an old-school" cop in "Aquarius," a drama set in the 1960s when Duchovny's character runs up against the notorious criminal Charles Manson.
The network is also developing "Freedom Run," an eight-hour miniseries about the Underground Railroad, originally based on Betty DeRamus' book, "Forbidden Fruit: Love Stories From the Underground Railroad." What is interesting to note is that Stevie Wonder is one of the project's producers.
SEE ALSO: We know what it'll take for Thalia to return to telenovelas
In addition, Dolly Parton has signed a development deal with the network for a series of movies based on the "songs, stories and inspiring life" of the country singer.
NBC had previously announced that it would follow up holiday musicals "The Sound of Music" and "Peter Pan" with a live version of "The Music Man." Now, Greenblatt says "The Wiz" is a possibility this year.

Faith musings from the seat of a forklift.
In the shipping industry, we use placards to denote when a particular trailer has hazardous materials loaded in it, and those placards are designed to indicate what type of hazardous material is in that trailer. The purpose of this is really simple. It helps emergency crews to know what to expect in the event of an accident. If the wrong type of placard, or even no placard at all, is on a trailer containing hazardous materials, then things can become complicated really quickly. Often with dangerous results.
In the Christian church, there are two signs that are used almost universally. One is the cross. The other is the crucifix. Now it may not seem like which one is used should be that big of an issue, but there is a difference, and it makes a difference. While both are universally used in the church, one of them speaks a far greater message than the other.
Historically, the common empty cross dates back to roughly 2000 B.C. This means that the cross predates the crucifixion of Christ Jesus by nearly two millenniums. Such being the case, it would appear that though the common empty cross is used by the Christian church, it has no real meaning to it. I know, there are many of you who say that your church uses the empty cross to denote that he is no longer on the cross. I know that argument all too well, and it is a lie.
What? How is that a lie?
When Christ Jesus predicted his death, he didn't hold back. He told Nicodemus quite plainly that he was to be lifted up, just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness (John 3:14). He also made it very clear that it was by his being lifted up that all men might be drawn to himself (John 12:32). To this end, the crucifix, often rejected by non-liturgical churches as "too catholic", really is the proper symbol of the church. However, let us not be deceived, the image on the crucifix is not really how he looked, it is merely an image of a man being crucified. To that end, we do not pray to the crucifix, lest we turn it into an idol, which can do nothing.
Oddly, the real truth of why many Christian churches reject the crucifix is simply that of it being "too catholic". Sad. The irony of this is that, as Christians, we are expected to believe, confess, and teach one universal doctrine, and that word "catholic" literally means "universal" or "all embracing". Modern Christianity certainly is not universal, as many churches do tend to throw out anything they don't like, including the crucifix.
An empty cross is really just a hollow symbol from time long before Christ Jesus walked the earth, died upon a cross for our sins, and then rose again that we might have eternal life. A crucifix is a symbol of God's power to save us from our sins, and preaches that message loudly. More loudly than an empty cross could ever convey. One says something, though without clarity. The other speaks very clearly, without confusion.
A placard must be clearly understood in order to understand the hazard involved. Using the wrong placard can give the wrong message, and get people killed. An empty cross is similar to using the wrong placard, it may warn that there is something, but it still gives the wrong message. I prefer the crucifix, it clearly communicates the message of salvation. An empty cross is just empty.

Miami Hurricanes colorway is already turning haters into believers. The colorway combines Hurricane Green, Orange, and Black with Volt accents. Check out the images and lets hear what you think about LeBron's upcoming kicks.
