I knew when I used the word "mercenary" in my Tuesday column that I was being highly inflammatory.Now, this is where the twisting of time, space and reason comes in. He used a word which he knew was inflammatory, used it intentionally after thinking over and mulling over its use. He says that, after consideration, he CHOSE to use the word to incite, and criticize. Then he says, that Americans don't owe the brave men and women in our military a blessed thing, and whines about being perceived as being disrespectful. Then after thinking over, considering, and intentionally using this "insult and perjorative" (but not, mind you, to insult soldiers), he says that this word that he carefully considered and used intentionally DOES NOT DESCRIBE THE AMERICAN SOLDIER. AND THAT WE WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO TAKE WHAT HE SAID LITERALLY.
NBC News ran a piece in which enlisted soldiers in Iraq expressed frustration about waning American support.
I intentionally chose to criticize the military and used the word to incite and call into question their presumption that the public had a duty to support them. The public has duties, but not to the American military.
So I committed blasphemy, and for this seeming lack of respect and appreciation for individuals in uniform, I have been roundly criticized and condemned.
Mercenary, of course, is an insult and pejorative, and it does not accurately describe the condition of the American soldier today. I sincerely apologize to anyone in the military who took my words literally.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? What kind of a bonehead is this guy, and why is he being paid more money that the people who stand in harm's way, day after day, in a land filled with people who want to kill us? When I read this tripe, this is what I hear this guy saying: "Well, I know I used a word that was meant to insult and incite. But I really do support the troops, just as long as they don't win the war over there, and just as long as I can continue to make people think, with my clever wit and wisdom, that I actually do give a rip about these pukes, I mean, people."
More boneheadedness:
In the 30 years that we've had an all-volunteer force, this is the first war we've had where the justness of the cause is questionable and where we are losing and still could "lose."The only people questioning the justness of this war are people who can't be bothered to read facts, or who can read them, but can just as quickly ignore them. Right, Joe Wilson?
"The panel found," as The Washington Post reported on July 10, "that Wilson's report, rather than debunking intelligence about purported uranium sales to Iraq, as he has said, bolstered the case for most intelligence analysts." So you can see how a seasoned newsman like David Shuster might come to the exact opposite conclusion and then repeat this false conclusion on TV every night.Again, don't let facts get in the way of a good "Bush lied" parade. Well, Mr. Arkin goes on to say that even though we don't have a duty to the soldiers, we do have a duty to the soldiers. Or, something like that.
Wilson's unwritten "report" to a few CIA agents supported the suspicion that Saddam was seeking enriched uranium from Niger because, according to Wilson, the former prime minister of Niger told him that in 1999 Saddam had sent a delegation to discuss "expanding commercial relations" with Niger. The only thing Niger has to trade is yellowcake. If Saddam was seeking to expand commercial relations with Niger, we can be fairly certain he wasn't trying to buy designer jeans, ready-to-assemble furniture or commemorative plates. He was seeking enriched uranium.
In the middle of all of this are the troops, the pawns in political battles at home as much as they are on the real battlefield. We unquestioningly "support" these troops for the very reasons that they are pawns. We give them what we can to be successful, and we have a contract with them, because they are our sons and daughters and a part of us, not to place them in an impossible spot.I'll leave you with a comment one reader left. This quite clearly sums up why we are in Iraq. And why we need to keep the figh over there, instead of letting it come over here:
I'd like to see things from your point of view but I can't seem to get my head that far up my a**. I suggest you spend some time with the radical Mullah's of Iran who support Hezballah' and Hamas and pray for the destruction of Israel. Spend some time with peace loving blue jean wearing Iranian students who are beaten in the streets if they protest. Spend some time with women who have no rights, whose bodies are mutilated and abused all in the name of Muhammad. Spend some time with men whose wives were raped by Saddam's sons. Spend some time with men who were dragged from their homes; beaten and toutured for questioning the motives of Saddam's regime.
Spend some time being thankful for the efforts of our brave men and women of our armed forces - the only people in the world with enough balls to rid this world of ruthless dictators and hateful leaders who believe that you and your ski loving family should perish because you're a so-called freedom loving American

The Bachelor Embroiled In Latest Meme Lesbian Stink
Never far from a spot of controversy, Ten's The Bachelor is again attracting flak this time over a distasteful meme that suggested one of the female contestants was a lesbian and had been turned "straight" by bachelor, Nick Cummins.
Yesterday, Cummins' brother, Jacob, posted the meme to Instagram that inferred that one of the show's contestants, Brooke Blurton, had been "turned straight" by his brother during this year's series.
The offending meme shows Bachelor 2016 couple Richie Strahan and Alex Nation, as well as an image of Nation and her ex-fiancée Maegan Luxa kissing.
It's followed by an image of 'The Honey Badger' and an on-set picture of him dressed as a fireman and hugging Blurton. The meme runs with the caption: "Richie turns them gay, Honey Badger turns them straight."
Blurton has admitted on the show that she has been in relationships with women, however, does not describe herself as lesbian or bisexual.
Jacob Cummins even even made a brief appearance on the show last month during a group date episode featuring a number of members of the Cummins family.
B&T has contacted Ten for comment on the offending image.

A 28-year-old Eagan man who allegedly imported and sold knockoff sports jerseys has been charged with selling counterfeit merchandise.
Benjamin R. Berry has been charged with two felony counts of counterfeit intellectual property valued at more than $10,000. Each offense is punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine ranging from $33,000 to $100,000.
Berry said Wednesday that he didn't know he was breaking any laws. He said he incorporated a limited liability corporation to import jerseys in 2009 after looking online to find cheap jerseys with imperfections that made them affordable for customers with low incomes.
"I was never telling people this was a real jersey," Berry said. "I was telling them it was an 'unexact' replica of a jersey they would sell in a store."
Experts with professional sports organizations say such cases are part of a growing problem in Minnesota and elsewhere that support foreign sweatshops and child labor.
"A lot of time fans feel they're getting a good deal, but if the stitching falls apart the first day you wear it, or if the colors are off, it's not the good deal that you thought you were getting," said Tom Prochnow, group vice president for legal and business affairs for the National Hockey League, which last year sent Berry a warning letter about his imports.
Police allege that Berry sold bogus jerseys through an ad on Craigslist and had people selling them for him after he imported from countries such as China and Taiwan, according to charges filed Dec. 9 in Dakota County District Court. Berry, however, said he never sold on Craigslist.
According to the complaint: Eagan police began investigating Berry in May after learning that he had racks of Minnesota Twins jerseys in his garage and that they were being sold on Craigslist.
On May 24, police arranged a meeting to buy a jersey and then compared it to authentic jerseys.
Police stopped a man leaving Berry's house and found in his vehicle National Football League, Major League Baseball and World Cup soccer jerseys. He told police he'd been selling them for Berry.
On June 8, police searched Berry's home. He told officers that he was buying jerseys from China and selling those imports for profit. Berry admitted to having people sell the jerseys for him. He told police that he did not have sales records because he destroyed them, the complaint says.
Eagan police said they collected 380 counterfeit jerseys.
Experts at the Coalition to Advance the Protection of Sports Logos -- an organization begun in 1992 by the four major sports organizations plus Collegiate Licensing Company -- examined 359 of the jerseys and determined their value to be $77,000, the court papers say.
Months before his arrest, Berry had been warned that he could get in trouble over his imports. In September 2009, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials had confiscated 11 NHL counterfeit jerseys that were imported from Taiwan and addressed to Berry.
The NHL sent Berry a warning letter then but he didn't respond, the complaint says.

Let's talk about the comments.
If we take a closer look, it is easy to notice that a few types of comments could be identified basing on how a developer located the comments in the code. Similarly to the code blocks, empty lines should be respected because they define chunks of information. The three comment types are: independent, leading and side comments.
The independent comments are those which occupy one or many lines and separated from anything else by at least one empty line. The independent comment lines do not contain anything but comments.
The leading comments are quite similar to the independent ones with one exception. The very next line after a leading comment is a Python statement. A developer did not insert an empty line between the comment and the following block and most probably this is meaningful - the comment is for the following block.
The side comments are those which are located to the right of the statements. There are a few important details about side comments. A code block may occupy a few lines and a developer may want to provide a comment for a certain line in the block. This fact should be respected. Another detail is that sometimes a developer may want to provide more than one line of comments for the last statement in a code block. Cases like that should also be respected in graphics.
Theoretically it is possible to introduce a trailing type of comments - similarly to the leading type with the difference that there is no empty line between a statement above and the comment. This however seems to have a very minor practical sense. Developers rarely comment something which is located above. They rather use a leading comment or a side one. Therefore I decided not to introduce a trailing type of comments.
So, how could these three distinguished types of comments be drawn on a diagram if they are properly identified?

Planning your Wedding can be a very stressful period for a Bride & Groom, after all how can you ensure that the team you assemble for your wedding are the right team for you? The chemistry has to be right otherwise; well it could end in tears.
One of the things that I think most people don't realise when you plan a wedding is that the relationship you have with all your providers will determine the success of the day from a planning and logistical point of view.
I'm writing this from a Photographers point of view. So, my perspective will be heavily biased, but when all is said and done the person you will spend the most time with on the big day (other than your partner) will be the Photographer.
I will be with you from morning through to the reception– so, once you've chosen your photographer the key to success is communication. The better this is the more successful and stress free your day will be.
I am a big fan of lists and schedules. As a Photographer if I'm not on the same page as you I will not be at my best. This is why at the early stages I ask loads of questions, do site visits (where possible) so that I can assess my understanding of your day and also if I am the right fit for you.
The right fit
What is this you may ask? As they say in the classics 'first impressions count'.
When assembling your team you will know very quickly who will be the right fit for you. I have had many couples book me on the spot when I ask them whether they would like to think about it they have often made the following type of statements:-
"we really like your approach and the work you do, no need to look further"
This search for the right fit goes both ways and I feel that it is also my responsibility to pass on a Wedding I feel I am not suited to. Whilst it would be good to accept every opportunity offered I feel that you know when an event does not suit your skills or direction – so always remember to tell your potential suppliers as much about your day as possible. Anything that get's them excited about the event will make them want to do it more and get their creative juices flowing.
Creating the Partnership – let me get inside your head
No you're not marrying your Photographer and this is not a therapy session this process is about getting to know you better.
It is for this reason I encourage all couples to send me any reference shots of images they like so that we can have these in mind on the big day. This is not about copying other people's work it is all about me understanding the mood or feel, a pose or even just understanding what you like. This is where our collaboration begins. It is also a great way to get to know you better and also build a great partnership on the day. This partnership is such an important thing the more we understand each other the more relaxed the day will be. At the end of the day if I fully understand what is expected the better the process of image making will be.
So, the rings are selected & the dress will look stunning on you. I love hearing about the dress and the style of the Wedding. It paints a visual picture for me so I can start mentally planning the shots I will try to get for you. The more I get in your head the better the images we create will be. This is why I'll want to know who is doing your Hair & Make-up, tell me about the dress, the rings, the wedding cars etc.…. The clearer understanding I have of your day the better I'll understand you. This was the case with Emma and Tim's recent Wedding – the below shot was a location I wanted t use for a long time but felt I hadn't had the right wedding. On our location day I suggested it as I felt it would fit the look of the day and it was so perfect!
Creating great images is all we want to do so
Here are some simple things to think about when you meet up with a Photographer for the first time:
- Don't let price dictate who you book
- Actually make the time to meet the Photographer in person and assess if you feel they are the right fit for you
- Pick a style that you like
- Look at a number of different websites such as Easy Weddings, Hitched or The Knot, Melbourne Bride or Real Weddings to view different work from a range of Photographers.
- Shortlist the 3 most likely to suit your aims for the day
- Ask questions, plenty of questions –
- Will the person you meet actually shoot on the day
- What happens if the Photographer is ill and can't shoot on the day – what is their contingency
- What does the service include/exclude – for e.g. pre-wedding meetings, minimum number of shots, schedules and planning
- What is the Photographers organisation plan for the day?
- Lists – family photo's, most weddings need group photos of family, friends, special guests from overseas etc.… These can sometimes get out of hand if you are not organised. So I get my couples to do the following:
- Sit down and work out all the critical Photo combinations – those must have family photo's (A list), work out the nice to haves (B list)
- Circulate this to a member of the bridal party who knows the most people at the church.
- Make sure the Photographer has this list and also knows whom you have given the list to. I ask this so that I know who to speak to when we get to the family photos and I am not stressing you out. All you need to do is sit back and enjoy the moment while we organise people. The other benefit is this assists me to work out how much time we need for family photo's and how this impacts on the Bridal Photography.
- Bridal Photography – this is the fun bit, these shots are your chance for self-expression or to bring out your inner blue steel! I just want to create images that show you at your best. Sometimes, the random things that happen during a day become our best creations. Such as Susan & Mark's Ararat wedding – shot on the family property in the open fields. This couple were happy to walk through the high grass, throw the bouquet around and just plainly respond to the environment. (see below) A willingness to plan but also play off script will create some of the most inspiring and satisfying images. In the end my only wish is that you enjoy the process and have a great experience so that by the time you arrive at the reception you're thinking to yourself – wow! I really had a great afternoon it was so easy. If I've done my job right you will feel this way. I recently had some members of a Bridal party say to me that they really enjoyed the shoot. That they were surprised at how easy I made it for them to enjoy the day and what great ideas I had come up with for the shoot. Why, was this? Well, I really knew what the Bride & Groom wanted so I put a lot of thought into how we were going to achieve this and at the end of the day fun and having fun was a factor in ensuring this.
I encourage every couple to choose a location that they connect with. Think about a place that you really enjoy and feel really tells your story. The better connected you are to the location the better the shots will be. Most importantly – have fun, enjoy the moment and try to allow enough time in your schedule to do these images justice. Try not to skimp on time you only get this chance once. A mistake people often make is they don't factor in travel time in the schedule and the number of locations you choose will determine how much travel time you need and consequently how much actual shooting time you have with your Photographer.
After all when will you next be dressed in such an amazing dress and have your hair, make-up, nails professionally prepared? Oh and how often in life will your future husband look so dapper.
With enough time we can be really creative and move away from the typical wedding shoot to create some lasting heirloom images that will be all about YOU!
I'll finish this on a recent review posted by Sarah & Mark
"Mark is so warm and welcoming. We loved the fact that he really cared about what we wanted, and was really flexible – unlike some other photographers we spoke to who cared more about themselves!!! The process was really relaxed and it showed in the amazing photos. We love them!"

Frequently Asked Questions & Answers
- Why does an item appear on multiple levels of my results?
ANSWER: It's not uncommon for this type of testing to register on multiple levels. Your focus should be the items in red as these noted the highest level of intolerances.
- Why did items that you test for not appear in the report?
ANSWER: If an item we test for did not appear on your report, it means that our testing did not detect an intolerance to that item.
- Why are there items listed on my results that I've never eaten, drank or consumed in any way?
ANSWER: While you may not think that you've ever eaten a particular food it's possible that the protein found in that food item was used during the processing of another food item that you did eat.
- How does an item listed as an intolerance also be listed as a deficiency?
ANSWER: Our body can have an intolerance to something that its deficient in. Just because you need it doesn't mean you have to tolerate it.
- My order is completed, but I didn't receive anything.
ANSWER: We do not send out testing kits. If you do not receive your form please email or call our testing facility.
info@modernallergymanagement / 850 741-9242 8AM – 4:30 CST.
- What can I do to ensure safe and timely delivery of my sample to your office?
ANSWER: Mail your sample with a tracking number, we do not send emails stating we have received your sample unless our testing facility is running behind and that is a rare occasion, however we have excellent customer care and you can give our office a call with any questions. (850) 741-9242.
- What is the difference between a food sensitivity, allergy or intolerance?
ANSWER: The main difference between an intolerance and an allergy is that an allergy will manifest itself almost immediately. Food intolerances, on the other hand, are not as easily detected. Depending on the individual, symptoms may arrive anywhere from a couple of hours to a couple of days after consumption or contact. The symptoms of an intolerance can manifest in various ways. Allergies are usually life long also whereas most intolerances can be controlled by diet.
8. Does hair dyes, bleach, oil, or dirt, affect the results?
ANSWER: No. Outside contaminants do not affect the information stored int the hair.

With no quarterbacks on the roster, the 49ers certainly need to add a passer in free agency. Reports show that new head coach Kyle Shanahan and new general manager John Lynch have done just that.
Source: FA QB Brian Hoyer is headed to the #49ers. Reunion with Kyle Shanahan— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 8, 2017
A journeyman QB since he entered the league in 2009, Hoyer experienced some success while with Cleveland in 2014. That year, Hoyer started 13 games, winning seven, and throwing for more than 3,300 yards to go with 12 TDs vs 13 INTs. He completed just 55 percent of his passes but averaged nearly 14 yards-per-completion.
Why does Hoyer's 2014 season with the Browns matter? Because Shanahan was calling plays that season in Cleveland.
Clearly, the Niners new coach has a familiarity with Hoyer, enough that his team has made the former Michigan State passer the first QB of his new regime.
What does any of this mean for Redskins fans? San Francisco has long been reported to be the premiere, and perhaps only, possible trade partner if Washington looked to deal QB Kirk Cousins.
Signing Hoyer in no way shuts the door on a Cousins trade for the Niners, but it does push the door a little bit closer. The team Lynch and Shanahan have inherited is a mess, in need of a full rebuild coming off a 2-14 season.
To acquire Cousins will require giving up assets, likely the No. 2 overall pick in the upcoming draft and more. It's possible that if the Niners new brain trust waits it out, they could make a run at Cousins in free agency a year from now without having to give up assets.
San Francisco is not in position to win anything of consequence this year, with or without Cousins. Armed with six-year contracts, maybe Lynch and Shanahan feel comfortable building their team for the long haul, and that includes a bridge QB like Hoyer. Bringing in Hoyer does not mean a trade is impossible, but it doesn't make it more likely either.
Around the NFL, reaction to the Hoyer signing varied.
Someone very close to Kyle Shanahan tells me: No way Brian Hoyer signing precludes move for frontline QB. Kirk Cousins chatter not dead yet.— Aditi Kinkhabwala (@AKinkhabwala) March 8, 2017
It's a 2-year deal for #49ers and QB Brian Hoyer. Fair to say, this makes it unlikely they bring in Kirk Cousins in a trade with #Redskins— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 8, 2017

Damn. I was wrong.
I have some pretty controversial things to say in IDS 130. Good thing I don't
talk much. Here's an excerpt from my homework. I'm responding to economic
sanctions against other countries:
Of course I don't know too many alternatives to economic sanctions. I
just say we go out and nuke all the fools. That'll teach them. We
might as well. If innocent people are dying anyways, we might as well
just nuke 'em. We got to use our stealth bombers for something. Or
we could just go with direct warfare and send in some marines and
bombers to bring them to their knees. But because of the peaceniks
from the 60's, this country now has this anti-war feeling. Boo!!!
Lisa: Mom, everybody hates the pöpil kids. Even I do. I just hate them so much.
Who is the Mole? Find out tomorrow at 8:00pm on ABC.
I say it's Jim.
This show is better than Survivor.
Sweet. There's going to be another season.
What a day.
The day started out pretty bad. I was looking forward to actually getting to
class on time today, only to find out that I have a flat tire. Well damn.
Got to wake up Hank and go fix my tire. I wind up getting late to my class.
Well, actually missing it due to traffic. So as soon as I get to school I
had to leave.
Some of you my have noticed that my site has been down for a while. Well
that's because Verio's routers once again kicked me off the network. And
again I had to call back in. Apparently their mountain view router is
having problems kicking people. I had such high hopes for Verio. Now in
less than 2 weeks, I've had downtimes of over 25 hours. That's ridiculous.
Well the good thing is that I didn't have to listen to the music again. I
was actually looking forward to the music, so I could record all of it. I
guess Verio ain't that bad. I was on hold for only 2 seconds. I was going
to put Verio on my officially "Sucks" list, but it got out of it with good
tech support. Lucky them.
Well, back to Counter-Strike.
I got a lot of Counter-Strike in today. Someone accused me of cheating too.
That felt pretty good.
Conversation from people on my Counter-Strike server:
J : come here
J : i'm gonna place the bomb now…after i do, come close to it and click it and hold
J : is it working?
P : no
If you want to play on my Counter-Strike server, you should probably download
these maps
I just got my Counter-Strike server setup yesterday. I had seven people on my
server at one time. Awesome. Of course there's this problem where I'm
dropping clients every time it switches maps. Weird. I don't know what the
problem is.
Oh. If you want to play. IP: 220.127.116.11
Hopefully my connection will be able to handle it.
Amazing. 40 hours of downtime on my DSL. Apparently the network went down, and
nobody bother to put me back into the network.
It really sucks not having net connection for that long, but I don't think that
was the worst part of it. The worst part was having to be on hold for 30. And
it wasn't the waiting part that I didn't like, but the fact that I had to listen
to that crappy ass music for 30 minutes. What kind of music, you ask? Two songs
on a loop. And not just any two songs, but two elevator type music songs. They
both sounded familiar. I just happened to record some of one song. Too bad the
tech dude came on before I could get the next song.
Imagine having to listen to this over and over again.
And I know I've heard that other song before. It's straight out of Ultima.
Inside Lord Britain's castle, you hear that crappy music. That's it.

iiNet (ASX:IIN) has received industry and analyst praise over its $40 million purchase of Melbourne-based ISP, Netspace.
According to iiNet CEO, Michael Malone, the deal had been on the books for the past 10 years. He said the conglomerate was aiming at 15 per cent market share of the DSL market and $5m worth of savings within three years.
"We've been talking to the guys for over a decade," he said. "It's about the right time for them and the right price for both parties."
Netspace co-directors, Stuart Marburg and Richard Preen, will resign from the company. Malone said it would continue to operate as a satellite division and most of the consolidation was set to take place at a network level.
Malone said earlier media speculation that the deal was set for $75m were important enough to warrant a statement to shareholders, but claimed it had no effect at all on the final price. He also expected no trouble from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) over competition issues.
"We already had the price agreed upon a couple of months back at a very high level," he said. "The ACCC has said previously they regard telecommunications as a national market.
"They would just see it takes us from 11.5 to 12.5 per cent. There's no real change to the landscape." An ACCC spokesperson confirmed it would not be undertaking any investigations into the deal.
Malone said Optus was iiNet's key target and claimed the merger would bring the telco within striking distance of being number two in the market. But he added any legislative split of Telstra would not eliminate its dominance.
"We're now within cooee of Optus in terms of DSL subscribers and we're growing whereas they decline by 3000 in the last half," he said. "Telstra's at 45 per cent, it has $8 billion worth of free cash flow and although they have their internal issues, they have an excellent network and a brand people in the country trust as being reliable and safe.
"No incumbent anywhere in the world has dropped to below 40 per cent market share. It'll respond and make sure it does retain customers."
Although an Optus spokesperson confirmed the validity of Malone's figures, they were keen to point out its total number of broadband customers was at almost 1 million users. Independent telco analyst, Paul Budde, said iiNet's acquisition of Netspace was a good step forward and would promote strong competition in the broadband market.
"There's been far too much fragmentation in the competition. If companies combine, especially given issues such as network access, size absolutely matters," he said. "It will put the competition on their toes and that's what we'd like to see.
"This will put more pressure on Telstra and Optus than on the second-tier players. Stronger newcomers have more of an affect on the incumbents than on their colleagues."
Primus Telecom CEO, Ravi Bhatia, shared Budde's view and strongly congratulated his rivals on sealing the deal. He said the growth was natural and would not damage his company's prospects.
"Well done to both the CEOs. I think it's a good price and they haven't paid over the top," he said. "It's a good company they've bought – I know both the executives very well.
"I don't think we ever saw each other as a threat. The market has reached an equilibrium and that is why the growth we see in companies is through organic acquisitions."
Internode CEO, Patrick Tapper, said he was not surprised at the deal.
"iiNet has completed the integration of Westnet, and has consistently grown by acquisition, so the time was clearly right for another one," he said in an email to ARN. "This event has no particular significance for Internode."

What you should expect when you rent an apartment
How many apartment landlords repaid over pay and how much contrast, well earns? Accurate statistics exist. But the truth is that inexperienced landlords are based on experience of financial consultants surprised cost with which did not count rent apartment in Prague. What are the main costs to the landlord waiting for?
The first cargo of the Realtors commission for mediating contact with the new tenant. Realtors may have different rules. Try to conveniently deal. Another cost of lost profits are months when the tenant has rented an apartment.
This is confirmed by the story of Eva čtyřiatřicetileté from Prague 4, which to my apartment 3 +1 looking for tenants for four months. She decided to keep the price high rent, but I guess it more worthwhile to compromise their standards and finally rented apartment. "Perhaps even worse is when the tenant stops paying rent and you need to move out. Landlord is in law, but its enforcement can get a little "play" on the nerves, "says John Lener, financial consultant Broker Consulting.
Tax and maintenance
There also remains considerable expense tax. The tax base is, however, possible to reduce the necessary and demonstrable costs to achieve this income, and can be applied also to "flat rate" of the legislation.
Real estate brokers agree that after 3-5 years is flat "vybydlený" whether anyone lives in it. There may be wear flooring, it is necessary to re-paint it, knead nail holes in the wall. Some kitchen appliances may require some maintenance. With the need to be anticipated.
The apartment tenant and communicate with someone to care for. It is either money or time. It is necessary to pay the bill and charges for energy services. Some owners have also set fees for rented apartment. A few hundred crowns prepares you also need insurance of housing units that will appreciate at the time of the occurrence of an insured event. Appear, however, a number of other costs.
Profit wait about one-third less
It follows that the lower estimate of the profit from the agreed rent of 1/3 is reasonable and adequate. Who sets the example for a three-room flat in Prague for rent 15,000 per month, they must reckon with the fact that he actually left 10,000 crowns a month (this is a rough estimate - each apartment is a different amount). If the market value of the flat four million crowns, then the net income from the lease only 3%. This is not far from the highly liquid savings accounts or conservative investments.
It would therefore seem that renting the apartment is not very competitive. This is not always true. The prices of some flats may increase in the future, the rental income is added and investment appreciation. For some this may be relatively stable regular income the right nut. There is always a need for access to renting a flat as reasonably to any other investment and weigh all the "pros" and "cons".

Hi all, I've seen that there was a similar question asked 2 years ago with no response.
Now I'm here with the same question: how to adding a custom button in reports detail view?
In particular I want to put an "XLS Export" button just below "Export" button in Detail View. A workaround is to insert button in /modules/Reports/templates/templates_reports.php but it's not a best practise of course.
So which is the way for doing this in a upgrade-safe mode?
Thank you.

New ballpark...lots of money off of the books...plenty of available revenue...so HEY! Let's sign some players!
First it was CC Sabathia. Then came AJ Burnett. Now...just days after the Red Sox and Angels supposedly backed out (then the Sox made a late dash), it appears that, if the reports are correct, Mark Teixeira is coming to The Bronx.
Let the budget bitching begin.
Now, Mr. Brian Cashman, go get us a freaking center fielder, and say hello to your 2009 World Champions!

Two goals behind at half-time in the Manchester derby, it was Ashley Young who was one of the senior United players doing the talking.
It would be easy to see Young as little more than a beneficiary of Jose Mourinho's difficult relationship with Luke Shaw, but there are reasons why he has become Manchester United's first-choice left-back.
The club have been accused of lacking leaders this season but Young's seizing of the reins at half-time will no doubt play a part in Mourinho's decision to play him so often.
It's worth noting that the other two players mentioned as being particularly vocal prior to the side's remarkable turnaround at the Etihad were Michael Carrick, who's closer to retirement than the pitch, and Ander Herrera, who's been supplanted by Nemanja Matic this season.
However, Young has also shown genuine value in his on-field performances.
Mourinho wants his full-backs to push up in possession while being defensively solid. He spoke clearly about this following the FA Cup quarter-final win against Brighton and Hove Albion, where Shaw was taken off for Young at half-time.
"We work on certain kinds of movements," Mourinho said. "It's really important for the two full-backs to be aggressive and to be always in front of the defence to create space for [Nemanja] Matic and Scott [McTominay].
"I decided [to take off] Luke because at least Antonio was capable of getting into these good positions."
Defensively solid and a stylistic fit
In the Premier League this season Young has outperformed Shaw in tackles and interceptions. Shaw has made 1.46 tackles per 90 minutes and – more crucially when considering defensive positioning as a full-back – just 0.49 interceptions.
Young, on the other hand, has made 1.94 tackles and 2.07 interceptions. He may well understand the defensive positioning required of him better than the youngster, for which he deserves credit.
But it is not only defensively where the ageing England international comes out on top. Going forward, as a former winger, he also makes more of a telling impact that the former Southampton youngster.
The quality of chances Young is setting up for his team-mates gives him an xA90 (expected goals assisted per 90) of 0.15, almost four times greater than Shaw's 0.04.
And while it isn't a stat usually used to compare full-backs, Shaw has outperformed Young in terms of xG90 (expected goals per 90) – 0.05 to 0.03. It provides insight into the styles of the two players.
Shaw's xG and xA values are both very similar, implying that when he gets around the opponent's box he's as much a threat with chances he takes as those he sets up for others. Something which doesn't appear to be what Mourinho wants in his full-backs.
The difference between Young's xA90 of 0.16 and xG90 of 0.03 indicates he's consistently playing wider when United are in the final third, where crossing, not shooting, opportunities are available.
What this all means
Perhaps Young's natural game as a full-back is just closer to what Mourinho wants than Shaw's. Yet the 32-year-old has had to adapt his style to play in the more defensive position after a career spent further up the pitch.
This has wider implications – potentially all the way to national team level.
It's just over a year since Mourinho claimed credit for a good Shaw performance against Everton, saying that the player was using "his body with my brain".
"I was thinking for him," the United boss continued. "When to come inside, when to open up the pitch, when to press the opponent, I was making every decision."
These were strong comments for a manager to make about his own player, but they're about a player struggling to adapt, something which Young hasn't failed to do under the Portuguese.
If the former Watford youngster is able to change his game from that of a winger to a 'Mourinho full-back', he should be able to adapt to playing at full-back under different managers with different styles, which bodes well for England.
Young's transition has been a tough task, no matter how easy he's made it look. And that deserves recognition.

2017 metal mice stall
Stormbringer posted a topic in QuestionsCan't believe my old login still works, it's been years! This is a long shot but I can't think of anywhere else to ask. I bought these two metal mice from a stall in the market (near the bandstand I think) in 2017. I bought them for my fiance and made a point of getting a business card from the stallholder at the time but have lost it since. My fiance is now my wife meaning one of these little dudes is out of date. I've been trying to find the maker again with no success so this is my last hope! Can anyone suggest a way of finding this guy? Cheers.

Last weekend I had the privilege of going away with a couple of girlfriends for a 'girl's' weekend (Thank you J & J). It was soooooo relaxing, doing what we girls do best!! Talking, sewing, nibbling, watching chick flicks, no cooking, sewing, talking….you get my drift. I actually managed to get one of my quilts together, but silly me didn't take the border fabric so I couldn't finish it.
Next update, I hope to have it done.
While hanging out a little washing I could hear a Lorikeet, and then I spotted him way up in the tree.
The colours are just so pretty.
Till next time
Enjoy It, Live It, Love It

Tips To Choose The Right Executor For Your Will
As a senior citizen, one of the most important parts of an estate plan or a Will is to choose the right executor - the person who will carry out your wishes after your demise. When you have one, you can rest assured that your wishes will be fulfilled and there will be fewer conflicts among your family. But, after knowing how to make a will at home, choosing an executor will not be an easy job, as you will be facing a dilemma deciding whether the person you choose is the right one or not.
Well, to make your job easy, below we have shared some tips that will help you choose the right executor.
But first, let's understand the duties of an executor.
An executor's job is to make sure that a person's last wishes about their possessions and property are carried out just the way they wanted. They have to ensure that the person's debts and creditors are paid completely and their remaining money and property is distributed as mentioned in the Will.
Generally, it is not necessary that the executor should be a financial professional or lawyer; but, he/she must carry out their duties with diligence and honesty in accordance with law. Although an executor is not entitled to receive a part of money or property, a reasonable fee for carrying out their duties must be paid. In some cases, a beneficiary mentioned in the Will can also be an executor.
Now, to know how to choose the right executor read along the tips given below.
1. Ensure they have basic knowledge
Bear in mind that the person you are choosing as an executor doesn't have to be someone with a finance background. But they should surely have some basic knowledge of numbers and know how to handle finances. Also, it will be an added advantage if they know where to cut costs in order to save some money. An executor will have to perform some duties they have never even heard of, so ensure they will be able to do the required research and get advice from the experts.
2. Ensure they will carry out their duties and have backups
It is important that the executor is present all the time and administers the estate with utmost attention. Make sure the person you choose as an executor is not in poor health or getting old, as that person may not be healthy enough to carry out their duties in the future. Therefore, it is advised that you always choose a young executor.
But, as you know that life is unpredictable, make sure that you have a backup executor, also known as successor, who can get the job done in case the primary person is not able to perform their duties. You can also choose a professional executor. A good idea will be to choose an executor, a backup executor in order of succession and a corporate executor as your final backup.
3. Weigh the advantages and disadvantages of a corporate executor
It is vital that you know the three trade-offs that come with choosing a financial service or bank as a corporate executor.
First, they must be able to perform their duties as long as they are in service, so make sure that they will be in good business in the future.
Second, their fees will be much higher as compared to what you would ideally pay an individual.
Third, a corporate executor will perform their duties only to serve the business needs and will not take personal interests in your case. With time, another person may replace them and to protect their company from any liabilities they may follow inflexible policies.
4. Think about co-executors working together
Few estates have a lot of assets which may take a long time to administer. If such is your case, you may have to select two or more executors who will act as co-executors. The advantage of having co-executors is, if there are some difficult decisions to be taken or a lot of work formalities is to be completed, a single person will not have to shoulder the entire responsibility.
However, one disadvantage of a co-executor, is that they might face conflicts in taking the right decision. For example, if your children are named as equal co-executors, there might be fights and conflicts amongst them. Even if your children agree about how the assets are to be divided, conflicts could arise when it is time to administer your estate.
So, make sure you are making the right decision and prevent family conflicts amongst children rather than "being fair". If you feel that there will be a lot of conflicts in your absence, a corporate executor will be your best go-to option.
Your choices for the executor could change over time as a cause of major life events, so make sure you are making the right choices and reviewing them regularly.

By Jason Hancock
Gov. Eric Greitens' office illegally hired two private attorneys to help fend off impeachment, Attorney General Josh Hawley said Friday in a letter to the state auditor.
The attorneys, Hawley wrote, who "purport to represent the Office of Governor at taxpayer expense are acting without authority under Missouri law."
Greitens' office pushed back hard against the attorney general's letter, saying Hawley "has his facts wrong" and adding that "the Governor's adversaries would no doubt like to deprive the Governor's office of counsel."
Missouri Auditor Nicole Galloway, a Democrat, earlier this week asked Greitens' office to turn over any information about the hiring of Ross Garber and Edward Greim.
Garber is a Washington, D.C., attorney charging the state $320 an hour, or half what he said he normally charges.
Greim is a Kansas City-based attorney charging the state $340 an hour.
Both say they were hired to represent the governor's office and not Greitens personally.
Garber has previously defended three other governors facing impeachment proceedings: Robert Bentley of Alabama, Mark Sanford of South Carolina and John Rowland of Connecticut.
Their fees are being covered by the governor's office budget.
In a letter obtained Friday afternoon by The Star, Hawley said the governor's office "lacks authority to retain private counsel to participate in connection with any adversarial proceeding without the Attorney General's consent."
It is clear, Hawley wrote, that the state Constitution designates the attorney general as "the presumptive legal counsel of state executive entities and officers -- including the Office of Governor -- in connection with adversarial proceedings" unless otherwise stated by Missouri law.
He notes that state law expressly authorizes some government agencies to hire private counsel, such as the departments of transportation and conservation. The governor's office is not one of those agencies, and thus, any private counsel must be approved by the attorney general's office.
Garber and Greim are acting as attorneys for the governor's office, Hawley wrote, and are being paid using taxpayer funds. Yet, "no authority exists for the Office of Governor to retain those attorneys."
Hawley went on to question whether Garber and Greim are actually representing the governor's office as opposed to Greitens personally.
"It appears that the private counsel retained by Office of Governor are simply advancing the private interests of the individual who happens to currently occupy that office, rather than the constitutional interest of the office itself," Hawley wrote.
Hawley asked that Galloway's office take this in mind as it continues its probe into the governor's office's hiring of the private attorneys. The letter also was sent to Republican and Democratic legislative leaders and State Treasurer Eric Schmitt.
Parker Briden, Greitens press secretary, said in an email to The Star Friday afternoon that it is "long established that the governor's office has the ability to hire counsel to represent the governor in his official capacity."
Briden pointed to a state law that says the governor may "employ and fix the compensation of such legal and clerical assistants as may be necessary for the efficient conduct of his office."
Impeachment implicates the institution of the office of the governor, Briden said, and not just the individual.
"An effort by one branch of government to sit in judgment on another implicates the core of the executive branch of government," Briden said, later adding: "The governor's office has the authority to hire counsel to represent the office to defend its interests in any purported impeachment."
Hawley is wrong to assert that Garber and Greim are acting in the personal or private interests of the governor, Briden said. When they've interacted with the legislature or responded to requests for documents, it has been on behalf of the office, not Greitens personally.
"The arguments for due process advanced by the governor's counsel will affect the dignity of the office for generations to come, regardless of the individual who holds the office," Briden said.
The governor's office responded to Galloway's request Friday with a letter saying how much the attorneys are paid and noting that they regularly interact with the chairman and special counsel of the House committee.

In my blog of August 10, I reported my dialogue with Councilman
Jose Huizar in answering his question about how a transplanted New
York Jew feels about living in a largely Latino neighborhood. Since
then, I have become a Huizar groupie, in the sense that I monitor and
support his neighborhood initiatives which are many.
Although one would hope that Huizar would run unopposed, that is not
the case. He is being opposed by Rudy Martinez of A&E's "Flip this House"
fame. Martinez describes himself as a "self-made businessman" approaching
the race as an outsider.
I have heard that polls indicate that Huizar is leading by 95%.
Since there are approximately two hundred residents and two hundred
employees at Hollenbeck Palms, I told Councilman Huizar that I hoped
to deliver two hundred votes. Grateful, he said, "That's a precinct."
On January 8, I attended the campaign kick off. It was held in the side yard
of a house that appears to serve as a Democratic Party neighborhood
headquarters. There must have been at least 500 people standing and listening
attentively to a parade of civic officials singing Councilman Huizar's praises.
The audience was primarily Mexican American reflecting the neighborhood's
dominant ehnic group.
From left to right: Myself, Councilman Jose Huizar, Nissim Leon.
From left to right: Myself, Nissim Leon, founder of Boyle Heights Wolfpack
football support organization, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Aba Ramirez, UC Davis Extension, nutritionist.
Hardly knowing anyone, I did my best to strike up conversations with
congenial and friendly fellow standees. I met the coach of the local high
school's football team. I met a woman who shared her aspirations of
seeing one of her sons attend an Ivy League college. As I asked another
stranger what he did, he said: "I'm the mayor!"

How to Work Less and get More Done
In the days before email entered our lives (up till the mid 1990's) the most pervasive interruption for the average manager was a ringing phone. Even then, more managers had secretaries who screened their calls. Then along comes email. Managers now receive dozens of messages from anyone – including spammers. The problem gets worse as employees who are sending email messages within a company can easily send copies, no matter how trivial, to everyone else – including to other managers. The end result is that with the advent of email it's easy for a manager to spend an entire day reacting to other people's priorities.
That's why when it comes to a manager's productivity, email is the silent killer. To demonstrate the impact of this, consider the productively of a successful business advisor who minimizes his use email.
Farm boy wisdom
I'm referring to my father, Bill Mowatt. Dad is a little like Michael Corleone in The Godfather. He keeps trying to retire but they just keep calling him back. Born on a farm in Saskatchewan during the Depression, Dad quit school with a grade ten education. Eventually, he started an oil and gas service company that grew to employ over 400 employees with annual revenues of over $40 million. In the process he created a network of some 30 successful spin-off companies. By the time Dad officially retired as President and CEO of CEDA International, the Royal Bank of Canada had nominated him as being one of Calgary's most successful entrepreneurs. Not bad for a Saskatchewan farm boy. One of the secrets to his success is the way he manages his time.
Since his 'retirement' executives in the oil patch have sought "Bill's" advice when considering new business startups and acquisitions. Frequently, he'll be acting as an advisor to several companies. Because he's 'retired', Dad only agrees to work a maximum of five to ten days per month so that he can spend more time working with his horses. The days that he does work, it's only for a few hours. After all, he doesn't really need the money – he only does it because he enjoys it. In other words, he doesn't want to work hard or long. In observing how he works though, I think one of the smartest decisions he's made in his consulting practice is minimizing the correspondence he does with his clients by e-mail.
By rarely giving out his email address, Dad doesn't feel obligated to respond to the myriad of messages that are being copied to him simply because it's easy to send him a copy. If someone needs a fast response from Dad they pick up the phone. That way he's not spreading a conversation over five emails – he's doing it once. Most importantly, the time that Dad would have spent sorting through other people's email messages is instead spent focusing on corporate strategy. That's what his client's are paying him for. In other words, he consciously minimizes e-mail so that he's less 'busy' and more 'productive'.
I'm not saying that e-mail is all-bad. I use it regularly and recognize that it has its benefits. I'm just sharing an example of how one manager is actually more effective by minimizing the 'labour saving' technology. Most of us can and will continue to use e-mail. But we need to recognize that e-mail can be one of several factors that are taking us off-track from the strategic project work that we should be working on. In other words, when it comes to labour-saving technology, managers need to ensure they are not sacrificing their effectiveness on the alter of efficiency.
