Urinary Track Infection UTI
A urinary tract infection is an infection that begins in your urinary system. Your urinary system is composed of the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. Any part of your urinary system can become infected, but most infections involve the lower urinary tract that is the bladder and the urethra.
The main causal agent is Escherichia coli.
Women are at greater risk of developing a urinary tract infection than are men.
Types of urinary tract infection:-
-Kidneys (acute pyelonephritis)
-Bladder (cystitis)
-Urethra (urethritis)
Risk factors for UTI:-
•Being female.
•Being sexually active.
•Using certain types of birth control.
•Undergoing menopause.
•Having urinary tract abnormalities.
•Having blockages in the urinary tract.
• Having a suppressed immune system.
•Using a catheter to urinate.
•Strong, persistent urge to urinate
•Burning sensation when urinating
•Passing frequent, small amounts of urine
•Urine that appears cloudy
•Strong-smelling urine
•Pelvic pain, in women
•Rectal pain, in men
Analyzing a urine sample.
Urine culture
Ultrasound of pelvis
Intravenous urinary pyelogram
Homoeopathic medicine:-
The use of urinary tract infection homeopathic treatments is an effective method to fight the E. coli bacteria, the bacteria that are causing infections to both men and women. Homeopathic remedies are very helpful in treating bladder infections, in relieving discomfort and encouraging quick recovery. These remedies may help patients get through an existing or recurrent urinary tract infection without the use of antibiotics.
Since urinary tract infection is a result of immune system weakness, which does not defend against foreign bacteria that enters the urinary tract and causes an infection to develop in the urinary tract, bladder & kidney.
A homeopathic medicine will enhance resistance to infection by stimulating your immune system so that the illness can be resolved as rapidly and with as little discomfort as possible. Homeopathic medicines work on an entirely different principle; it doesn't interfere with the natural immune response but works alongside it by enhancing one's ability to fight an infection.
The medicine also very effective in recurrent UTI.

Living in the USA but am not going to be able to go the gun route for self defense. My wife has a huge problem with them after having watched as her grandfather put one in his mouth and pulled the trigger when she was eight years of age. What other means of self defense would you go with? We have some OC spray. Knives? Intense martial arts?
January 26, 2009 7:02 PM
It's hard to beat a gun, specially since you live in USA where you could get one without much problem if you want.
Guns were called "Equalizers" in the old West for a reason. A scared person can point the gun in the general direction and with a bit of luck hit the aggressor and equal things, in spite of the difference of size and strength.
Any weapon is better than no weapon. Blunt weapons like batons or even commonly available baseball bats can do a lot of damage.
Know a case where a father killed a rapist bashing him over the head with a steel pole with a garbage basket on top.
But with blunt weapons, it only takes a determined person to close in and if stronger, faster and more aggressive than you.. well… your in trouble.
A knife has the advantage of wounding just by contact if sharp enough.
An attacker trying to take away a large sharp blade from you will only loose some fingers.
Of course if your attacker has a gun, you might be able to kill him with a knife, but you'll get shot for sure.
I could tell you to get a short machete made by cold Steel.
Spear point machetes by Cold Steel
That's what I'd have in my house for defense is a gun wasn't an option.
These aren't works of art, but they are big sharp blades made of good steel.
There's knives out there that are all very tactical, but the machete is the one that kills and mutilates people around the world on daily basis. Both a formidable weapon and a tool.
But can you shove that into another person? Can you let go of a very instinctive and brutal side of you, bringing yourself to that? Is it even in you?
A handgun is a much more "civilized" defensive tool.
I've seen some gruesome knife fight results. In one occasion, I couldn't believe all that blood actually fitted inside the person that laid in the pool of blood.
So if you chop or stab with a thick blade, expect a lot of screaming, a lot of warm blood spraying all over you, and expect to keep slashing and stabbing with it when you are soaking wet with someone else's blood.
Don't expect him to go down right away. Unless you crash his skill with it, or shove it up his ribcage or through the neck into the skull, blood loss will be the reason why he goes down.
I'll do it, heck as I've said before I'll kill someone with my bare hands if I have to because the results of not doing so and being at the mercy of these bastards is too fresh around here.
Today they released a man that was held kidnapped for 32 days. Kidnapped by cops.
Hell no. I'm not putting my family or myself through that, or worse.
OC spray works. But it wont do much against armed criminals that only have to point and shoot, and even a single person can keep fighting after being sprayed if he's determined enough. If he's high on drugs it might not affect him at all.
I carry OC spray in my bag, so does my wife, but it's a less than lethal tool, and sometimes it's not enough.
And of course, learning hand to hand combat should be a priority.
I'd advice you to take several classes of tai boxing and brazilian JJ, find if you have a mix martial art club near by where you can put it to use, and if you've never trained in fighting sports before, train for at least a year until you develop good fighting instincts and reflexes.
Knife fighting classes are also good. Don't get involved much into artistic styles, you can spend your entire life with Filipino styles, just learn the basic and practice them frequently against a board or pole.
But even if you do this, do yourself a favor and get a gun. Get a combination lock safe and leave it there if it makes your wife feel safer but do get a handgun.
I understand what it's like to have a wife that is scared of guns.
Unfortunately the only experience my wife had with guns until she met me was being on the business side of a gun barrel. Just too many times.
She didn't like guns at all but understood that being armed was just part of who I was and she didn't even try to negotiate going through life unarmed.
I suppose that since we married right after the 2001 lootings showed in the clips below made such an idea even more ridiculous.
No, we needed a gun, like it or not.
I told her where I left my Glock when I went to work each day , even though she said she was scared of it and would never touch it.
One day I came back home and found the Glock on the table…
Apparently someone tried to brake in. Made a lot of noise in the grating gate ( didn't get through) and my wife did the most logical thing: Fearing for her life she grabbed the weapon she feared so much.
I left the Glock loaded with a round on the chamber. (I don't believe in empty chamber guns any more than I believe in ghosts or the Tooth Fairy :^) )
Had the intruder broken in, more than likely my wife would have shot him instinctively point aiming, center of mass. The 357 SIG hollow point round would have delivered a lot of damage.
Have a talk with her.
Don't expect her to go shooting with you, just ask here to understand that you consider this extremely important.
Negotiate a bit, show her a couple of safes where you'd keep it.
Accidents occur when someone is negligent. If you keep the gun secured, specially if you keep it in a safe at all times, there's no margin for accidents.
Take care and good luck.
Edited to add:
That was a pretty sinister and bloody post, to compensate I leave you this.
Have a great day! "D'acord?!" :^)

WOW!! The last piece of this series has arrived, and I want to give you a summary of what has developed within the relationships that have been so obstructed over the years. I have had messages and comments asking if I still am in contact with certain people in my story and so let me reinforce the grace of God in this post.
I believe that forgiveness is rarely for the good of others but more for ourselves. When we hold on to hate and have negative energy towards another human being, it becomes draining and takes away more from you than it ever does from the person you are angry with. I harbored hate for step dad for years and I realized that for my own wellbeing, I released him from my entire being. He does not deserve another minute of my time or energy. I will never speak to him or allow him a place in my life, but I also pray daily to not have anger towards him for the pain he has caused. Sexual abuse or rape is something that effects the victim for the rest of their lives. I will never allow Lay's in my house because of the greasy texture it leaves on your hands. My husband knows he can never wake me up out of sleep to have sex with me and I will never be able to sleep naked or without panties on like I know now so many women do. It is a barrier that would alert me wen he was close or coming in for attack. My mom and him remained married until the last few years and to say that I am sad my mom and my full biological sister and I have missed out on years of memories is such an understatement. I went years without talking to my sister and years dreading my mom coming and telling me all her Richard stories. Within the last year and half there has been SO MUCH HEALING! There is joy in my heart every time my phone lights up with a message or a phone call from either one of them. I have missed them so much and desire greatly a relationship with them both. The past is the past and the future is unknown. It isn't worth it to me to lose out on more memories because of anger and resentment. God is still healing all 3 of us but he is so gracious to be allowing us to do that together.
Then there's dad. Mr. Stimac, Big Kahuna, Huna, daddy, uncle Frank…. There're tons of names for that big guy. When my sister was 13, dad called her for her birthday and he was informed that she no longer wanted to speak to him. Now looking back, I have concluded my stepdad most likely had the same kind of control over her. So, for 23 years now, my dad has not spoken to his oldest daughter. As if that wasn't enough, you just read the headaches I have dragged him through. He tells people he had a full head of hair and weighed 170 before I moved here but I never remember hair on that head HAHA. The one blessing is that dad didn't go through this process alone. He has a sister who is strong in faith who stepped in the very first day to be the "substitute mom". Aunt Liz has gotten me ready for dances, planned weddings, cried through divorces, babysat and PRAYED HER HEART OUT for me and my kids. She is the only other person besides my dad that I can be so mad at yet talk to every single day. She always has the kindest advice and the faith of a warrior. About a year or so ago, she informed me she had started a prayer journal just for me and my kids and every single morning she cried out to God to protect us and guide us to a safe and steady place in life. It worked. I know dad has been as grateful to have her there on the other end of the phone as I have been. I am so thankful that now dad and I are truly like best buddies. We have coffee often and talk daily. Poor guy has been through an awful lot but has never, not one time, stopped being a loving support.
Are you wondering if Jason and I are happily married? God knew exactly what he was doing when he let every other person pass through my fingers because he had Jason Johnson in mind as my husband. I tell people often that Jason was Gods last chance for me. It was like a do or die and I am so glad we did. He is quite possibly the most supportive husband of all time and my biggest cheerleader. If I have a night out or a vaca away, there is very little chance I will go without him. He truly is my very best friend. We have a blast together and do life well together. Both Isabella and Brogan have his last name and he is Daddy to them. My girls say we just needed a little bit of Jason and a whole lot of Jesus. HAHA It cracks me up but its so true.
I have launched a nonprofit called anchor180 and it is a tool I want to use to help others. I speak in schools and will speak at any church to any group of people. There is no age or gender that needs Jesus less or more than the other. I want to share my story all over the globe because when there is a modern-day Saul to Paul transformation, people need to know. They need to hear that NO MATTER what their life has or does look like that God wants them. He wants to transform their hearts, souls and minds. No one is too far gone, and I love that about him. How could I not forgive those in my past when he has forgiven me in the degree he has?
I have so loved sharing the last 10 weeks with you about where I have come from and how I got here today but if its ok with y'all, I would like to move on now. I love my testimony because it brought us together today, but it is no longer who I am. I am not defined as a child from a divorced home, abused little girl, impure teen, teen mom, high school dropout, divorcee, abused wife, terrible mom, whore, lost child or anything else that my past has depicted. I am a redeemed, strong, beautiful, faithful Child of God and I would love so much to move forward as nothing less. Sure, I will use stories to prove points, but I want all of us to look at ourselves as Survivors and not victims. It is so important for the future we are going to share together.
Until Next time~

- Sài Gòn beat strongly-supported Sông Lam Nghệ An 3-113:25 | 13/03/2017
Sông Lam Nghệ An supporters converted the Thống Nhất Stadium into their home ground as they made the most of the venue, turning it yellow under the colour of their club uniform.
However, the crowds of nearly 10,000 failed to help their team avoid a 1-3 defeat to Sài Gòn FC at the V.League's round nine match yesterday in HCM City.
The supporters from Nghệ An Province, but living and working in the city and surrounding localities, marched on the streets heading to the stadium. They were joined by many foreigners who came to the stadium hours prior to the match to encourage the former champions, who have had a poor season.
The fervent cheering of the fans played a key role promoting the spirits of sides.
The hosts, Sài Gòn, needed only seven minutes to find the opener.
Quốc Long brought a ball to a space between Sông Lam Nghệ An's defenders Quế Ngọc Hải and Hoàng Văn Khánh in the central area. Nguyễn Ngọc Duy sprinted to steal the ball and ran solo to face goalkeeper Trần Nguyên Mạnh. He made no mistake in scoring.
The early goal confused Sông Lam Nghệ An's line-up and kept their supporters silent.
But it was not enough for the hosts, who doubled the score just 10 minutes later.
Patrick dos Sanros Cruz met no challenge, as he moved from the home side area to Sông Lam Nghệ An's box, before Mạnh suffer the second goal loss.
Sông Lam Nghệ An tried to rearrange their team and pushed more attacks.
They found a goal to narrow the result three minutes later, when a host defender let his hand touch the ball in the box.
Trần Phi Sơn then netted for the visitors.
But the gap was re-set near the interval.
Nguyễn Xuân Dương ran from behind to receive a ball and left some Sông Lam Nghệ An's players behind before making a straight shot to the far corner of goalie Mạnh, who has not qualified for Việt Nam national team for the 2019 Asian Cup qualification because of his red card at the ASEAN Football Federation Cup last December.
Ten minutes rest was not enough for the visitors to find a suitable way to break Sài Gòn's net again.
Their attempts were easily blocked.
Meanwhile, Sài Gòn intended to play in defence to protect their lead.
The win ended their six-match streak in which they did not win and lifted them to No 9 in the ranking table.
On the other side, Sông Lam Nghệ An received their fourth loss and remain at No 12.
In the earlier game of the round, leader FLC Thanh Hóa remained the only undefeated team of the tournament, after a 0-0 draw against Hải Phòng at Lạch Tray Stadium.
Both sides created a number of opportunities, but their players failed to converted to goals.
"Thanh Hóa has changed a lot since they began playing under Petrovic. He is a coach from a football community that is at a higher level than Việt Nam. Therefore, when they (Thanh Hóa) have set a target for a match, they know how to complete it," said coach Trương Việt Hoàng of Hải Phòng.
"I believed that Thanh Hóa wanted one point from this match, and they did it. I must confirm that beating Thanh Hóa at this time is a big job for every team," he added.
Coach Petrovic said he watched Hải Phòng carefully before the match. He knew the three key players on the team and asked his players to work hard to prevent them from playing well. The Serbian trainer was satisfied with what his team did, including the young members who played their first V.league game.
He said there was almost no common points in football between Việt Nam and Europe, but he wanted Thanh Hóa to play the same as English Premier League champions Leicester City.
Players needed to unite and work for a common target. That is how to have winning results at the end of the season, he said.
Thanh Hóa collected 19 points and stands firmly at the top of the table.
Hải Phòng are in fourth with 14 points.
Thanh Hóa will next visit defending champions Hà Nội FC, while Hải Phòng travels to play HCM City

Remove 1stBrowser (Updated Guide)
What is 1stBrowser?
1stBrowser is a potentially unwanted program, which you may install on your computer for improving your browsing activity. It claims that it is capable of helping people to shop online and save the money because it is a "reactive" browser. However, we have serious doubts that you may be very disappointed after installing this program on your computer. According to the latest information, this browser has already been added to "browser hijacker" category and it seems that there are several anti-spyware programs that you can use for its removal. Once it is inside the system, the 1stBrowser virus alters the start page, the default search engine and the new tab page to isearch.1stbrowser.com. It also blocks the previous search site that was used by the user and starts showing its search results that are supposed to redirect its users to needed websites. No matter that its search engine relies on Bing, you may still see some sponsored links in your search results. Be careful with them because they may redirect you to unknown domains seeking to increase the number of their visitors.
Questions about 1stBrowser
In addition to 1stBrowser redirect, you may also notice that your searches are interrupted by ads that are related to your browsing history. That can happen because this browser spreads in a bundle with cookies that work in system's background and collect non-personally identifiable information. Typically, this information includes search terms, mostly visited websites, computer's IP address, its location and similar data. To prevent the loss of such information, we highly recommend running a full system scan with Reimage Reimage Cleaner Intego and removing this questionable browser from your computer. No matter that it is not considered malicious, it may cause various issues on your computer.
How does 1stBrowser infiltrate computers?
As we have already mentioned, 1stBrowser hijack is unpredictable since your computer may be exposed to this program unexpectedly. Be careful because this tool may show up as your default web browser without downloading it on your computer. Usually, it spreads via software packages. Such distribution is extremely widely used these days since it allows monetizing free software, such as various download managers, PDF creators, media players, and so on. Usually, such software packages are promoted via popular third-party download websites (e.g. download.com, soft32.com, cnet.com, softonic.com, etc.), not to mention really suspicious websites. Thus, whenever you decide to install a freeware on your computer, you should make sure if it's reliable. You can do that by reading EULA, Privacy Policy, users' reports and other accessible information. Besides, you should always opt for Advanced or Custom installation option, read all the terms and do not agree with the offers to install 'recommended tools', such as 1stBrowser virus.
How to remove 1stBrowser virus?
1stBrowser removal can be done either with the help of manual removal instructions or automatic removal method. Both of these methods are considered effective as they help people find useless files and entries on their computers. However, if you decided to select manual removal of this browser hijacker, you need to be very careful and perform each of steps only in exact order. Otherwise, you may remove useful programs from your computer. When using automatic removal option, you need to update SpyHunter or an alternative anti-spyware to its latest version and perform a full system scan. This will help you to get rid of all suspicious applications, including the ones that have been used for spreading 1stBrowser redirect virus. At the moment of writing, you may end up with this browser after downloading such freewares: Driver Support, Shopping Assistant, Relevant Knowledge.

Due to a mix-up during registration, a number of rising Juniors and Seniors have expressed confusion at having not received their passwords to the secret upperclassmen bathrooms. The passwords, most of which were successfully provided to students during registration, grant the Juniors and Seniors access to the devilishly hidden restrooms where bubbling champagne flows freely from glittering spigots and each stall is its own room.
The Juniors' and Seniors' bathrooms — which are located somewhere behind That One Water Fountain That is Always and Will Always Be Broken, You Know the One, and behind a false wall in the Confucius Center, respectively — were originally constructed to appease the vengeful spirits of several former Payton Seniors who tragically lost their lives in the Great Bathroom Flood of '09.
Apparently, the present confusion arose when the distributors of the passwords failed to arrive on the day of make-up registrations, due to a misunderstanding of their instructions. Unfortunately, these mysterious and shadowy distributors are the only ones privy to the password, and when they return to their quarters somewhere in the cavernous secret restrooms it is effectively impossible to summon them again until the next year arrives.
Students from around Payton have a few things to say on the matter.
"This is [REDACTED]," said Dante Petersen Stanley, Senior, going on to elaborate that, "those bathrooms were the best place to [REDACTED]" much to the disgust of the interviewer.
"I'm still not convinced that this 'secret bathroom' actually exists," said Maxx Lampton, Junior, complete with dramatic air quotes. "I think I'd have heard about it by now." No you wouldn't, Maxx. That's why it's a secret.
Fortunately for those Juniors and Seniors who missed their main registration days, it is possible to discern this year's passwords from clues hidden in the library book, "Encyclopedia of Dog Breeds". It is against the policy of this newspaper to tell you how to identify these clues, but rest assured that the success of the Juniors has been prophesied. Whether or not the Seniors will succeed remains unknown.
Finally, please note that the password is not, and never will be, "swordfish," and that guessing "swordfish" is ground for immediate expulsion or sacrifice to the Thing That Lives Beneath the Atrium.

Matt Hranek has a tough life. He'll say that getting to travel all the time for work isn't all that glamorous, but we don't quite believe him. That's why we got him on the phone to find out the nitty-gritty, down-and-dirty, and sometimes-covered-with-puke reality behind the life of a guy who's not only a successful photojournalist (see matthewhranek.com), popular blogger (check out www.thewilliambrownproject.com) and family man (full disclosure: he's married to our Creative Director Yolanda Edwards), but he's also the host of the new TV show Alternate Route on the Esquire Network. In the weekly series, which debuts November 20, Hranek road-trips across the country discovering America's hidden gems and unique experiences; along the way he gets to sip artisan bourbon in the south, spend the day fishing in Montauk, and get fitted for bespoke jeans. Yeah, that sounds not glamorous at all.
What are the things you always pack?
If I pack for a five-day trip it's the same as a for a five-week trip. I always have a dopp kit ready to go. It's already built—it's filled with all the creams and salves that I need for traveling, and they just stay in there. It's like a Jiffy Pop popcorn bag—it's huge. I used to have a Prada dopp kit that was Yolanda's, and I got so embarrassed carrying this nylon Prada thing, but it was so practical because inevitably something explodes and you want to be able to wash it out and have it dry and repack it. So I took that Prada one to my upholsterer with some old zippers and waxed cotton, and she made me a waxed cotton version. It's great and it's very weathered and it's very practical—and it finally looks butch.
What else is a must-have?
I always always pack a bathing suit. If there's a hot tub or swimming pool, I'm in it. I always try to throw in some kind of deconstructed blazer that I can wear on the back of a horse or to dinner. To have diversity in wardrobe is major. And I always pack this cashmere A.P.C. sweater. It's my pillow, my comforter, my scarf. From there it's just a variation on T-shirt and underwear.
What are the things you've learned to do without when you travel?
I think you need surprisingly less carry-on than you think. You need something to read, listen to, and water. That's it. I see people schlepping all this stuff, but I am a big proponent of checking. I don't want to be burdened, and I've been lucky, I've rarely lost luggage.
What's on your travel playlist?
I really don't listen to a lot of music. I do read a lot; I catch up on a lot of periodicals. And I love watching movies. I will settle into a Virgin flight with the 65 channels and watch movies. I like action adventures whenever I can—I find that I get too emotional when I fly. I've cried watching Sister Act.
You're a professional photographer; what's the proper way to pack a camera?
I save shoebags from when I buy shoes, and I just chuck the cameras in there. I don't treat them preciously at all, particularly when I travel with so many point-and-shoots right now.
What are two things that will make any photo better?
Frame up and walk two steps forward.
Turn off your flash.
You'd be surprised at how much your pictures improve.
Coolest hotel amenity you've encountered?
I love hotels that give you free water. And I rarely eat the chocolate, but at the Sunset Tower in L.A., I will eat the cookies—they're amazing. And I do like the in-room coffeemaker. I'd rather make it in my room than go downstairs in my sweatpants.
Name one thing to always ask for at a front desk.
The quietest room in the house, away from the ice machine, away from the elevator, away from the bachelor party. I say, Give me the room you'd give your mother.
You've experienced some pretty cool adventures through this show and your other travels. What are some things you never thought you'd do?
Driving a 600-horsepower stock car stock car was epic. I never thought I would be into the idea of NASCAR, and that changed my perspective on it. Cleaning frog legs—that was epic. We went digging for frogs, cleaned them, and chucked them in the fryer.
Food you never thought you'd eat?
I will eat anything. I will try anything twice.
Favorite place you've visited?
I have to be honest, they're all great and they all offer such cool stuff. But I never thought I'd be so in love with Chicago. It's so easy to get to and has good food—I ate hot dogs breakfast lunch and dinner. It's a really underutilized city.
Most memorable travel moment?
I was traveling with Yolanda and my [two-year-old] daughter, and we had just settled into the four seats in the middle on a flight to Zurich, and my daughter proceeded to vomit all over everything we owned, and have diarrhea all over everything she was wearing. I did laundry in the bathroom before take off…and then you realize it takes all of the flight to Zurich for your clothes to dry. The only advantage was that when we finally got to the hotel, she vomited all over the lobby and they quickly rushed us to a lovely suite.
So it wasn't all bad.
[Laughs] No. My travel experience is to just go with the flow. I try to always make lemonade out of lemons. It's not as glamorous as everyone thinks. There's been a lot of shitty Caesar salads at bars; it's just the way it is. I often call Yolanda and say, everyone thinks is so glamourous, but this is what I'm eating right now.
What's one travel rule you wish everyone would follow?
Learn how to get through TSA, swift! Don't say you didn't know there was a bottle of water in your bag. Wear the belt that doesn't go off. Get prepped. Be a pro. I can get through TSA so fast—and now I have TSA Pre-Check, so I'm on fire.
Do you have any travel superstitions?
I do not take my shoes off until the plane is in the air. Most crashes take place during takeoff and landing, and I want my shoes on. I've seen too many pictures of flight attendants running barefoot through a crash scene, and that's not going to be me. I'm not afraid of plane crashes though—that's not how I'm going to die. It can't be on a plane, it's too obvious.
What's the best, hard-won travel advice you can share?
We're all getting off the plane at the same time, we all are going somewhere, so sit your ass down and wait for your turn to get off the plane! That's the one thing where I'm like, Listen everybody, follow the rules, and things move faster. With car travel, get off the thruways and take local roads. The experiences you run into are exponentially better, and the food you can get is exponentially better. So get off the interstate.
Alternate Route debuts November 20 and airs Wednesdays at 10:30 p.m. on the Esquire Network.

OK, we've got some good news and some bad news. The good: After months of playing coy to everyone from Us Weekly to the LA Times, Jason Sudeikis finally stopped modeling his life after that "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" song by The Clash, and has officially decided to remain on Saturday Night Live next season.
The bad news? According to EW, NBC has confirmed the comedian's return, but they've remained rather silent on exactly how long he'll be staying. SNL creator Lorne Michaels did have a bit of info, however, telling the New York Times, "Right now the idea is that Jason will go through at least until January...he's a fiercely loyal guy, both to the show and to me." The possibility that Sudeikis could remain on the cast for the whole season is, of course, still on the table.
The 38th season of SNL is set to premiere on September 15.

A man that was an ex-employee of the Stony Point Fashion Park in Richmond, Virginia, apparently planned a revenge prank on the company in January of 2014. It was reported that he had been fired from the Park in December 2013 after he showed up for work drunk. He was a security guard at the fashion mall for more than a year. Officials say that being fired is possibly the reason for the payback.
19 year old William Thomas brought 5 large tubes of industrial strength adhesive into the Stony Point Fashion Park on January 27, 2014. He went into bathrooms inside the mall and spread a thin later of the adhesive, covering every toilet seat. It was reported that 17 people became stuck on the seats before the glue could dry up. All 17 have suffered only minor injuries but nine of the victims required treatment for psychological trauma.
Thomas appeared before a judge on July 25th and was ordered to pay a fine of $75,000 dollars and he was sentenced to two years in prison on charges of assault, disorderly conduct and vandalism.
A representative for Thomas, Philip Morrisson, said that the sentence was exaggerated and racist. He says Thomas is not a violent man and he is not dangerous. "He simply made a mistake that can be explained by his young age and immaturity and he should not be treated like a dangerous criminal," said Morrison. He plans to appeal the sentence for possible racial bias.
Personally I think the guy got off easy. I would hate to think of the embarrassment these people suffered as they tried to get up and found that they couldn't. Imagine how they felt when they realized they had sat on a glued toilet seat. I don't know how any of them managed to get up from the seats after but I can only imagine how they feel. The one thing I bet they did learn was never to sit on a public toilet seat again without checking it first.
Maybe the guy is young and immature but how would he feel if this had happened to him. How would his attorney feel if someone had done that to him? I don't think his sentence could be labeled as racial bias. Morrisson wouldn't be thinking this if it had happened to him I am sure.

A Jar of Flowers
On today's card, I wanted to create a cheerful mix of blooms and stems from "A Year of Flowers" to add to the jar from "Buds and Vases". This time I tinted the glass jar blue this time and I love the contrast of that with the yellow and pink flowers! DP is Basic Grey Lemonade, thought the plaid and floral patterns would look like a casual little arrangement on a table in a wallpapered kitchen. I like leaving some eaves or cut flowers near the vase like the arranging is still in progress! Die cut label underneath is from Lovely Labels 2, greeting is also from "Buds and Vases". Ribbon and buttons are Pure Luxury and card base is Green Apple.

Interesting(!) idea but kind of does the DOS'ers job for 'em! I'm really curious as to what type of attack it actually was. Right now I know: - it was aimed at a single address on port 80 - global apache errorlog was relatively quiet in the run up to the exhaustion of apache with only a small hint that a larger number of requests were being made: [Thu Dec 4 18:47:46 2003] [info] server seems busy, (you may need to increase StartServers, or Min/MaxSpareServers), spawning 8 children, there are 0 idle, and 146 total children [Thu Dec 4 18:47:47 2003] [error] server reached MaxClients setting, consider raising the MaxClients setting [Thu Dec 4 18:52:34 2003] [notice] child pid 91863 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) <snip same error log line repeated around 4,500 times!> [Fri Dec 5 00:13:04 2003] [notice] child pid 38280 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) [Fri Dec 5 01:35:52 2003] [info] server seems busy, (you may need to increase StartServers, or Min/MaxSpareServers), spawning 8 children, there are 0 idle, and 17 total children note the 5min gap between the server reaching the MaxClients setting and the server collapsing with no err log entries in between - no HTTP requests were logged by apache from any of the dozen or so attacking hosts - snort captured only SYN packets from the attacking hosts (I suppose this explains why no requests were logged by apache) - all the attacking hosts had both port 25 and 80 open, although none of those hosts accepted inbound connections to those ports Would appear someone had control over a few zombie hosts and was able to coordinate a distributed attack - thankfully it was only a dozen or so hosts :P -- Jez Hancock - System Administrator / PHP Developer http://munk.nu/

Illustration of Alex Chubotin by Haeun Park
Alexander's Background
Alex Chubotin is an award-winning professional artist working on commissions in illustration and sculpture.
He received his formal art education in the former Soviet Union from The National Academy of Fine Arts in Kiev, Ukraine.
Alexander's Testimonials
Alex encourages artistic growth through his knowledge, professionalism, and dry wit. He takes the fluff out of art and attempts to teach objective sight and a sense for the harmonious relationships that create the human form. Finally, his cookie and beverage selection is both generous and on point.
The only thing that would make this class better would be if Mr. Chubotin wore a monocle and smoked a cigar...and perhaps if he were to award a cake to the best artist at the end of the course with the promise to eat it with him while everyone else had to draw them. He, of course, would award the cake to himself every time. That is how hilarious I believe this man to be. - Tracey Colaianni
Alex is a good role model and a good person to check in with on drawing and other artistic matters.
The instructor has excellent credentials and is able to help each student at their own level.
The professor took his time with each student, He encouraged improvement and always helpful.
(I like) the instructor's ability to make subtle suggestions to improve my drawing techniques.
The instructor was great! Always very helpful and I feel very inspired to draw more!
(I like) The fact that I could be a beginner and get individual attention to be able to increase my skill. I also got positive reinforcement as well as constructive feedback.

ROL Ministries
We have come to believe that the centerpiece of Creation is not ourselves but God and that, ironically, when we live bent on caring only for ourselves it doesn't make us healthy but unwhole. Our experience shows us that the freest people are those that have left self-preoccupation and intentionally lifted their consciousness to the great and majestic God who made them and all that is around them.
God the Creator made us in His image and with a variety of gifts and interests. Join us in going beyond our selfishness in ministry to others. You can connect with people that have similar interests and passions, while expressing your own creativity. Maybe you have a passion for prayer, or would like to get involved in missions; do you have a great idea for a family outreach? Or new Bible study? God knows your heart and we at River of Life Church would love to see you serve Him in one of our ministries.

FRANKFURT/DETROIT (Reuters) -- Opel's management will present a comprehensive turnaround plan to its board on Thursday that spans everything from model strategy through brand positioning to new export markets, while avoiding the delicate issue of job cuts in Germany.
General Motors CEO Dan Akerson wants to stem the constant flow of red ink at Opel by shrinking its fixed-cost base and running each plant at maximum capacity on a three shift basis -- something analysts say is only possible if he closes at least one of the six car factories.
As a result, the endangered Bochum site, which management wants to close in 2017, will not see any investment spending under the plan. GM is also expected to shift some production of Opels -- and possibly even Chevrolets -- to Europe from Korea in order to improve capacity utilization and appease local workers.
Investors have grown impatient with Opel and its UK sister brand Vauxhall. GM has suffered underlying operating losses of roughly $3.5 billion over the past three years in Europe, where an ever-shrinking car market is expected to plumb new decade lows in 2012.
Ongoing negotiations
Since delicate negotiations with unions over a fresh round of restructuring might not be completed before November, company officials have been dampening hopes that Thursday's board meeting might provide a catalyst for the stock.
"What we've said -- I've said it and others have said it -- is you're going to see a continual series of actions over time," GM Chief Financial Officer and Opel board member Dan Ammann told Reuters on Monday. "As we have something to say, we'll say it."
The market may be unhappy with a stock languishing far below its IPO price, but analysts argue time must be granted to an industry that operates with notoriously long investment cycles.
"Increasingly, it would seem like the likelihood of a 'big bang' restructuring is low," said Jefferies analyst Peter Nesvold in a research note.
"While we understand shareholders' frustrations, we actually think that GM is doing the prudent thing for long-term survival -- although the glacial pace of restructuring, particularly in Europe, keeps us out of the shares."
To reduce labor costs, managers hope to start replacing any departing workers on their permanent staff with temporary labor and shifting some people not employed on the assembly lines into other, less well compensated wage contracts.
"Opel has made mistakes that others have not. It pays virtually everyone that has anything remotely to do with car production the same wages for auto industry workers, even if its logistics employees, security guards or those working in related supply services," said one person close to the talks with Opel's labor representatives.
"Volkswagen, BMW, Daimler and others have long since abandoned this practice. While we don't want to take anything away from those already earning these wages, we do need to start thinking about lowering wage costs for industrial services below that which an assembly line worker makes."
When asked whether unions would enter the meeting on Thursday expecting to veto the turnaround plan, one union representative on the board dismissed speculation that interests were misaligned.
"Definitely not. We need to have certainty for the future and the company has to be able to map out its future so we both want the same thing," the person said.
Rose-colored glasses
Strident opposition from unions have, however, forced Opel to take a two-track approach to its restructuring -- putting the plan to a vote while negotiating separately over staff cuts in Germany that likely would only take effect after the last year of the plan.
Opel has said it is willing to discuss ruling out layoffs for the 20,800 German jobs through 2016 in exchange for fresh wage concessions and union approval to close the Bochum plant at the start of 2017.
While additional cuts to labor costs for the last two years of the plan will likely be included in the business plan, the issue remains unresolved until negotiations with trade union IG Metall are concluded before November.
Under the existing business plan that lasts through 2014, wage concessions of 265 million euros per year were already earmarked, two-thirds of which stem from its German staff. In exchange Opel pledged to invest 11 billion euros to expand the product range.
A regional union boss responsible for three of the four German Opel plants said labor would not enter the talks with a rose-colored view of the economy, suggesting the two sides can agree at least on fundamental market assumptions.
"IG Metall expects a further difficult, recessionary phase that will impact the entire European auto industry," Armin Schild said today. "We should count on the northern European car markets being affected more than they have so far."
Earlier today, consultants AlixPartners forecast the western European new car market would not likely grow next year and only return to its stable, pre-crisis level in the year 2020.
"We don't have a better crystal ball than anybody else," Ammann said. "We have to be prepared for a whole range of different scenarios."
Schild also signaled flexibility on the issue of exporting European-built cars to overseas markets. Management has sought to placate labor by exporting a modest number of vehicles to largely symbolic markets like Chile, Israel and Australia.
"I don't see huge prospects for building cars in Germany for sale overseas. This is a necessary measure of flexibility to support plant utilization, but the battle for the future of Opel will be won in Europe," said Schild.

I love Ortega Street on sunny days with her empty avenues that just spill out into Ocean Beach.
I took these pictures sometime last year during a spectacular Full Moon to the east that was clearly visible as the sun set to the west. It was a really unique and gorgeous day that I proceeded to completely forget about. Now that I'm in the process of swapping out iMacs I find myself stumbling across all of these forgotten pictures that I never got around to posting.

Lord knows why anyone would think it's a good idea to build a wood shingle kind of room on top of a sickly green colored room and call it a house, but hey. It's a free country. I had a nice chuckle at my neighbors expense and then went on about my business.
Then while taking a new way home the other day I discovered this guy.
One house with a wood shingle kind of room built on top of a sickly green colored room and I can chalk that up to the actions of a lone nut.
But TWO houses with a wood shingle kind of room built on top of a sickly green colored room, both just a few blocks away from each other?
Now we're talking about a conspiracy.

I'm still a big fan of all the skating pictures + videos in The Outer Sunset with those signature loud and tacky colors in the background. This is my home.
Amazing succulent on Ortega Street with junk the length of a telephone pole bursting through the ubiquitous cobweb of overhead electrical lines.
OK. Here's my pitch –
Morgan Freeman is this ninja cyborg from a dystopian future where angry whales rule the world. He had his arm bit off by a dolphin in Vietnam and now he spends his time as a private investigator in Hawaii where he devotes one hour each week to having adventures and helping people with their problems. Ernest Borgnine is this one eyed, salt of the earth, sailor type that's the Higgins of the team.
Oh! And it's animated too! But in this retro Heavy Metal meets Yellow Submarine psychedelic style.
Now put that on my car.
I'm just going to keep parking my magnum opus on your block till Hollywood starts returning my calls.

Andrew Jackson – 7th President of the United States
Andrew Jackson (March 15, 1767 – June 8, 1845) was the seventh President of the United States (1829–1837). He was military governor of Florida (1821), commander of the American forces at the Battle of New Orleans (1815), and eponym of the era of Jacksonian democracy. He was a polarizing figure who dominated American politics in the 1820s and 1830s. His political ambition combined with widening political participation, shaping the modern Democratic Party. Renowned for his toughness, he was nicknamed "Old Hickory." As he based his career in developing Tennessee, Jackson was the first president primarily associated with the frontier.

28, 2016 at 6:29 PM ITHACA Officials say an Ithaca College student was fatally stabbed and another student injured in a fight on Cornell University's campus. Both schools posted statements saying the two students were stabbed around 2 a.m. Sunday during a large altercation. Police say 19-year-old Anthony Nazaire, of Brooklyn, was taken to Cayuga Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. He was a student in the Ithaca College School of Business Administration. The other unidentified Ithaca College student had multiple stab wounds and was flown to the Upstate Medical Center. He was treated and eventually released. "It is with great sadness that I inform the Ithaca College community that one of our students passed away at Cayuga Medical Center early on the morning of Sunday, August 28, from injuries sustained in a stabbing incident that occurred off campus," Ithaca College President Tom Rochon said. "I and other members of our campus community have spent time, both in person and on the phone, with the family members of the two Ithaca College students victimized in the stabbing incident." Police say several hundred college-age people had attended a student-organized event in Willard Straight Hall and that several fights took place outside after the event ended. The Ithaca Police Department is leading the investigation. Ithaca police said officers with their department and officers with the Cornell University Police Department went to the intersection of Campus Road and College Avenue for a fight just before 2 a.m.

"Hi! The best strategy is answer first on some questions, last on some questions and somewhere in the middle on most questions. You'll have two to three minutes to wow the interviewers with your personal statement, and if you do, you may get an invitation to a personal or small group interview later in the day.
They're looking for unruffled poise – and that comes with practice.

For many pupils, cost is one of the biggest factors that come up when considering an accelerated nursing school program. Filling out a FAFSA is painful. navigate to this siteIf learning a foreign language via study abroad programs, the chances to put your new-found knowledge into effect will be invaluable to the learning process. The earlier you submit your application, the easier it will be for the committees to approve your enrolment. This program has to be approved by the state's Board of Nursing and usually takes 2 years to complete. While some may wonder if an accelerated nursing school program thoroughly covers all the basics, the coursework is just as demanding and comprehensive as that associated with a traditional four-year program. There you have it — a simple guide on how to get into medical school. The act of studying abroad itself is when a student pursues an education in a foreign country for a length of time ranging from a single week, usually during a break in their homeland's studies, up to a full academic year.

No carpet or rug is absolutely stain proof. Some carpets and rugs have stain resistant treatments that improve your ability to clean stains, but not eliminate them entirely. Similarly, carpets or rugs with soil resistant treatments reduce the rate of soiling, but all carpets and rugs require proper care and regular maintenance.
Staining versus Soiling
Often, there is confusion about the difference between soiling and staining carpet. The majority of stain complaints are actually soil related.
For example, many sugar-based spills, such as soft drinks and coffee, leave a sugar residue after removal. This sticky residue readily attracts soil from ordinary shoe traffic, and the resulting discolored area appears to be a stain. The same thing happens when spills are cleaned with a detergent solution and the area is not sufficiently rinsed with plain water, leaving a sticky detergent residue which attracts dirt and other particles. It is important to rinse thoroughly with water and blot dry after removing any spill. Proper cleaning products and techniques will help minimize soiling.
The Floor Store is proud to offer many carpet selections of exceptional quality with stain and soil resistant qualities. Your new carpet or rug could actually "ugly" out long before it "wears" out. To ensure years of enjoyment and performance, maintain your new carpet or rug with this comprehensive care program made up of four parts:
Preventive Maintenance – Protect your investment before problems occur
Vacuuming – The most important step in caring for your carpet and rugs
Spot and Spill Removal – Because, let's face it, they just can't always be avoided
Overall Cleaning – Because vacuuming just doesn't get everything.

Odafe Atogun's second novel is set in a Nigerian village that could almost be described as magical. It is ruled by a despotic king and his council of priests; their worldview is, not surprisingly, patriarchal and ultra-conservative. Any form of dissent or innovation is punished with banishment, or death.
Widows must marry within a prescribed period after losing their husbands; if they don't, their children are taken away to live with their uncles, or in extreme cases exiled to the town limits and left there to forage or beg for their food. It is a cruel system crying out to be challenged, if someone is willing to pay the steep price that accompanies such defiance. An unlikely challenger emerges in the form of the beautiful and kindly Ese.
Ese has just lost her husband and must now face the brunt of the king's merciless decree: she stands to lose her only son, Noah. Meanwhile, the precocious Noah has forged a strong bond with the town's homeless orphans and convinced his mother that they must care for these children, even if it means facing the king's wrath. It is a strong and eventful opening, and the stakes continue to rise. The king, it transpires, is hopelessly in love with Ese – he has always been, even before she married her late husband, Tanto. Marrying the king would offer Noah better odds of survival, even though the king's many wives sometimes kill off each other's male children to improve their own sons' chances. But the rub is, as Ese explains to the king, she will only marry a man she loves, and she is not in love with him.
As in his first novel, Taduno's Song, Atogun has combined folkloric elements with a strong central character to create a haunting and unusual narrative. His style is redolent of earlier African authors such as Amos Tutuola, Flora Nwapa and Gabriel Okara, who wrote what were loosely called "novels of local colour", where the author pretends the colonial encounter never happened, and modernity is a distant phenomenon happening in the faraway city. Once in a while a visitor from the city will appear, exotic and interesting, but always viewed with suspicion.
The Africa of such narratives is made up of hermetically sealed societies and plotlines are often influenced by the intervention of the supernatural. The main characters' greatest opposition is usually tradition and taboo, and those who use them to control and exploit the masses.
Clearly the gods love Ese. When she escapes her home village and arrives in another village with a similar tradition but with a younger, wiser king, she meets an older woman who tells her she has been waiting for her arrival for many years; the gods had foretold Ese's arrival. The woman becomes Ese's guardian and overnight Ese becomes rich and influential. The reader is of course expected to accept this divine intervention at face value – the implication being that Ese was chosen because of her purity of heart, and as a reward for her undeserved suffering at the hands of the village patriarch –and yet one can't help but wonder what would have happened to Ese without this rich benefactor.
Would she have been able to effect her changes to society without her new-found riches and influence, or would she have been another victim of tradition and patriarchy? The critic James Wood, writing about David Mitchell's The Bone Clocks, cautioned against introducing the supernatural into modern narratives. He claims that such devices relegate the characters to secondary status, robbing them of agency and turning them into mere vehicles for the whims and wishes of the gods. The human should always be at the centre of events; characters must stand or fall by their ingenuity alone, not by arbitrary divine intervention.
However, in Atogun's defence, he is clearly not trying to write a modern tale. His story could be said to be an allegory about the endless contest between good and bad, and how the universe sometimes – but not always –sides with the good against the bad. Tradition can harbour both the good and the bad; Ese's example shows that the bad must be resolutely and uncompromisingly opposed. It is a stark, almost puritanical worldview, but one whose severity is modified by this author's beautiful imagery and evocative language.

Tax law is constantly changing, so if you are not completely up to date then you could end up losing more money that you'd save by doing it yourself.

This depends on several factors:
The size and structure of your business
Whether you are a service or trading business
What you want to do with the software, e.g. Do you want to use it to create invoices, do you have payroll needs?
Your access to information technology and your skill level using information technology
Your budget
One Minute Tax is a professional partner with Xero , MYOB, and Quickbooks.
Generally we can work with any accounting package providing that we can access your Trial Balance, Balance Sheet, GST Ledgers, General Ledger and Profit and Loss Statements.
We have found that Xero is ideal for most businesses as it works well for clients who wish to do their own data entry but require our help to ensure the accounts are in order.
We prefer Xero and we are able to provide support for the program and the feedback we get from our clients has been excellent, however having said that, we're also happy to work with MYOB and Quicken, if that is the software you are currently using.
It is advisable to discuss your Accounting Software requirements with your accountant, or organise a consultation with One Minute Tax to find the perfect fit for your business.
This question is more complicated than many people think.
Here are some important factors to consider:
Your risk management strategy, including your exposure to litigation risks and the need for asset protection
The expected size, growth and income of your business
Whether or not you have a need for a nationally registered business name, e.g. If you want to operate under one name in more than one state
Who will be involved in owning the business and whether or not you plan to introduce equity partners or shareholders in future
Your career and work plans for the future, e.g. When you plan to retire, how long you plan to work for and if you are expecting to have time off
The structure of your family and whether you have beneficiaries to whom you wish to distribute income
The availability of reduced tax rates and other tax concessions (e.g. Capital Gains Tax concessions for Individuals) and how you plan to spend the money you earn.
You are able to claim expenditure incurred in replacing, insuring and repairing tools of trade that you use for earning your income. If the cost of any item is more than $300 then it will have to be depreciated (i.e. claimed over its effective life). The amount you can claim will depend on what records you have kept and to what extent you use it for income producing purposes.
You may be able to claim a deduction for self-education expenses if your study is work-related or if you receive a taxable bonded scholarship. In some circumstances you have to reduce the amount of your claim by $250. However, you can't claim the repayments of Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) loans (although the fees paid by some HELP loans are).
The tax office ruled that deductions for expenses incurred job seeking are not deductible as there is no income to offset them against.
You can only claim a tax deduction for gifts or donations to organisations that have the status of deductible gift recipients (DGRs). The amount you can claim depends on the type of gift. For gifts of money, it is the amount of the gift but it must be $2 or more. A tax deduction for most gifts is claimed in the tax return for the income year in which the gift is made. However, you can elect to spread the tax deduction over five income years in certain circumstances.
I received an travel allowance from my group certificate, Can I claim a deduction for that on my tax return?
A deduction will only be allowed if you have actually incurred a work related expense and have the necessary documentation. Some awards allow for a payment of an allowance even though an expense is not necessarily incurred by the employee. If a deduction can be claimed it cannot be for more than the expense that you incurred even if the allowance that you have received was higher.
Each day from home to work, I travel 150km return, can I claim any travel expenses on my tax return?
Trips between home and work are generally considered private travel, which means it is not deductible. However, you can claim deductions in some circumstances, such as the cost of travelling between two separate workplaces, or from your normal workplace to an alternative workplace, or if you need to carry bulky tools or equipment that you need for work and couldn't leave at your workplace.
At One Minute Tax, we will claim every possible deduction to minimize your tax bill.
You can claim for clothing that is specific to your occupation, is not everyday in nature and allows the public to easily recognise your occupation – such as the checked pants a chef wears.
You can't claim the cost of purchasing or cleaning clothes you bought to wear for work that are not specific to your occupation, such as a bartender's black trousers and white shirt, or a suit.
You cannot just claim $300. You must actually incur any expense before it is claimable. Whilst you may not need receipts for expenditure up to $300 you must have spent the money and it must be relevant to your employment.
You must keep all the records, receipts and other documentation you have used to prepare your tax return. If you are claiming deductions, you must keep written evidence to verify your claims for those deductions.
If you are an individual, you must keep proper records relating to your tax affairs for at least five years from the date you lodged your tax return.
If you are a small business, you must keep proper records relating to your tax affairs for at least five years from when the business record is prepared or the transaction is completed, whichever occurs later.
If at the end of the five year period, you are involved in a dispute with the Commissioner (an audit, for example), the five year period is extended.
If you use information from your records in a later tax return, you may have to keep records for longer. So, if you carry forward a tax loss, you must keep the records until the end of any period of review for the income tax return in which the loss is fully deducted.
If you own an asset which will be subject to capital gains tax on disposal, you will need to keep records covering the entire period of ownership until 5 years after lodgment of the tax return recording the disposal of the asset.
Generally, payers are required to supply a payment summary within 14 days of the end of the financial year – i.e. 14 July. If an employee ceases employment part-way through the year, one must be supplied within 14 days of receiving a written request from the former employee and the request must not be made any later than 21 days before the end of the financial year. If a former employee has been receiving reportable fringe benefits (RFB) and leaves before the end of March then the 14 day limit may need to be extended.
The inheritance is not taxable unless you are advised by the executor that a part is taxable. However, if you invest the income from the estate then any earnings will be taxable.
I have started a second job. Is there anything that I need to do so that I don't end up with a tax bill at the end of the year?
You cannot claim the tax free threshold of $18,200 from more than one employer at a time. It is better to claim it from your main employer. You will pay a little higher rate of tax on the second job but this should ensure that you have paid enough tax on all of your wages for the year. And a good tax accountant can help you claim some of those tax withhold back. Please contact One Minute Tax to see if we can help you to claim any tax refunds.
My wife and I received interest income from our joint bank accounts, can she declare all interest in her tax return because her income is much lower than mine?
All income must be declared by each recipient on the same basis as the accounts are held. Interest from a joint account must be split 50/50. You cannot declare it all on your wife's tax return and doing so could lead to an ATO audit.
From 1 July 2011 the Government removed the ability of minors to access the low income rebate for unearned income (such as interest, dividends, rent, royalties, trust distributions etc.). This means that a minor who earns over $416 in unearned income must lodge an income tax return.
Personal exertion income (such as salary & wages) will still have tax payable on it, but that tax payable can be reduced by the low income tax offset but all unearned income will not attract the low income rebate and be taxed at minors' rates.
In most cases overseas pensions are taxable and, as you are an Australian resident, you will need to include the amount in your tax return. However, there are a few exceptions to this rule, please contact One Minute Tax if you are not sure.
Do I have to declare on my tax return if I have received income from Centrelink ( Newstart, Austudy ) ?
All income must be declared. This is because the tax office needs to determine what tax rate applies to your other earnings for the year. You may be entitled to an offset to ensure that no tax is payable on your benefit.
You can access the information required from Centrelink online services. One Minute Tax can also look up the required information for you.
The total fee is $888 which includes all government fees, our service fee and GST. The ASIC registration fee is $463 and our service fee, inclusive of GST, is just $425.

If you believe this is incorrect you should contact your bank to verify the income details for your accounts. The bank should notify the ATO in writing if this information is not correct. You have 28 days to correct this information. However, if you have omitted the income, you will not need to contact the ATO. They will amend your return and send you a new assessment requesting payment of the additional tax, a general interest charge and, in some cases, penalties.

The government shutdown is in its third week with no end in sight and there are signs that the United States is closer to the first default in the nation's history. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)
Editor's Note: Each week we cross-post an excerpt from Katrina vanden Heuvel's column at the WashingtonPost.com. Read the full text of Katrina's column here.
The government remains closed. The unimaginable—default on our national debt—looms, with unknown but foreboding consequence. Tea Party Republicans remain willing to undermine trust in the full faith and credit of the United States in this unnecessary and manufactured crisis. And for some, the impending calamity seems to increase rather than temper their lunacy. At the right-wing Values Voter Summit this week, Representative Louie Gohmert (R-TX) claimed that if Republicans refuse to lift the debt ceiling and the United States defaults, it would be an impeachable offense by the president. Go figure.
In Washington, this folly is measured by poll numbers. Republicans, and particularly the Tea Party, are "losing" because their public approval numbers have plummeted. Republicans are said to have "surrendered," since they abandoned their threat to default on US debts unless Democrats agreed to defund or delay Obamacare. Now Senate Republicans are offering to reopen the government and fund it at current levels only until mid-January. Supporters of the deal argue that it would allow for negotiations on a real budget before the next harsh across-the-board sequester cuts kick in, but it means that Republicans will use the threat of the sequester—and the next round of the debt ceiling showdown—to exact longer-term cuts in Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security benefits.
Surrender? Any more "victories" like this, and Democrats will end up paying annual tribute to Republican party coffers. If Democrats accept these terms, it will only encourage Republicans to hold the country hostage over and over again.
