Bethany Lutheran Church, Nevis, MN
May 22, 2011-- Easter 5/Year A
John 14:1-14
Are you ever part of a conversation in which you and your conversation-partner seem to be "talking past each other?" Here you are--reasonable and articulate persons, saying good things-- but you just can't "connect."
It's like you're on difference planets or something.
As I read, with great care, the gospel according to St John…that sort of thing seems to be happening all the time.
There is a lot of talking going on in John's gospel. It's a gospel that—unlike Matthew, Mark or Luke—includes extended discourses, delivered by Jesus. Jesus has most of the "speaking parts" in John's Gospel, but always in dialogue with others—his disciples, honest questioners, random strangers whom Jesus encounters.
Now, to be sure, John's gospel is rich stuff—containing some of the most memorable, challenging, and comforting portions of our whole Bible.
But there is also something frustrating about these "dialogues" between Jesus and his conversation partners. They talk a lot, but often they seem to talk past one another, unable to connect.
Why is that?
I think it's because Jesus and those he talks with in John's Gospel have such different perspectives on everything under the sun.
Picture it this way: most of the persons Jesus speaks with have about as much perspective as does the pilot of a crop-dusting airplane. They see things from a very "low altitude." They're "close to the ground" and so they speak out of a pretty small worldview.
Jesus, though, looks at everything from a much higher altitude. Jesus' view of things is more like what our astronauts might behold this morning as they orbit the earth in the space shuttle Endeavour. Jesus is like astronauts who can literally see "ahead of the curve," the curve of the earth, that is!
Think about it: Jesus knows, Jesus sees, Jesus lives on a whole different plane of reality. Jesus is equally at home in heaven or on earth. Jesus is not stuck in the past, the present, or the future—Jesus is not hemmed in by time.
But everyone with whom Jesus converses in John's gospel is a finite creature, stuck in one place, capable of living only in the present moment. They're like bewildered visitors to a shopping mall, all desperately searching for that map with the red arrow that says: YOU ARE HERE.
So Jesus—with his high-altitude, wide-angle lens view of reality—Jesus sees where he is going—back to his Father—and he assures his disciples that they'll be joining him, and not to worry because "in my Father's house there are many dwelling places." No one needs to sleep on the living room couch in God's heaven! There is never a "no vacancy" sign on the Father's house.
And that should comfort Jesus' disciples, but when Jesus assures them that they know the way to the Father's house, Thomas—always the voice of realism—interrupts: "No Jesus. We're not familiar with this 'way' that you're talking about. Could you Mapquest it for us? Could you give us the GPS coordinates? Could you show us where 'X marks the spot?'"
To which Jesus replies: "The way isn't a route. The way is me. You're looking at the Way to the Father. I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. There is no other Way."
And I picture Thomas staring back at Jesus, dumbfounded, (as Luther liked to say) like a newborn calf staring at a freshly-painted barn door.
But Jesus just keeps rolling on, assuring his followers that they will know this Father he's talking about—indeed that they already know him….
And then another baffled disciple, Philip, putt-putting along in his low-altitude crop-dusting plane says: "Time out, Jesus! We'd like to see this Father of yours with our own two eyes. Show this Father to us, please. Produce your Father so we can identify him on sight…."
And Jesus just keeps rolling along, telling Philip that that's all been taken care of—in fact, if they've seen him (Jesus!) they already have seen, they already know the Father. The Father/Son resemblance between the two is, in fact, unmistakable… "Whoever has seen me has seen the Father."
…and it just keeps going like that throughout John's Gospel. Although Jesus and the ordinary human beings he converses with share many words, that doesn't mean that they're always connecting—not by a country mile.
And yet here's the great thing—here's the wonder of it all: despite the fact that Jesus lives way above and beyond us, he keeps coming back down to us, keeps hunkering down on our level to help us catch glimpses of the full, rich life that Jesus knows—the abundant life Jesus wants to shower down upon everyone.
So, rather than losing patience with the likes of Thomas and Philip, Jesus backs up and finds fresh new ways to say the same thing. Jesus uses the anxious questions of bewildered disciples like Thomas and Philip as jumping off points to utter promises that fill them—and us!—with faith, hope and love.
In fact, as we sort out the meandering "two steps forward, three steps backward" conversation here in John 14, we hear—unmistakably—we hear three amazing promises from our Lord—promises that give us a faith-engendering glimpse of what Jesus knows and sees and lives…what Jesus wants to give to us and anyone else who has ears to hear.
First, Jesus tells us that in the full, rich life of God, we belong—there is and always will be room for us in the Father's house. "In my Father's house there are many dwelling places."
Wow! What a promise!....a promise that has cheered us at countless funerals, right?…a promise that we cling to whenever we face up to our finitude, our unworthiness, our mortality.
But this is so much more than a promise to fall back on when we face death. This is a promise not just for the future, but a promise that transforms our present: God has room for us, now and always. We don't deserve that—not one bit—but God in Christ just keeps coming back to us, filling our ears with hope. The door is open, the place card with our name correctly spelled on it has been set out, God has room for us, not because "we've got that coming" but because God is unfathomably good and gracious.
Second, Jesus promises us that if we've come to know him, we know all that we'll ever need to know about God. In Jesus, we have all the "God" we will ever need.
If the whole notion of "God" is too much for us to wrap our arms around—and it is!—here is Someone we can wrap our arms around: Jesus of Nazareth, who walked on this earth, Jesus who lived among us, Jesus who stretched his arms out on the Cross to embrace all sinners, Jesus who could not be kept in the grave but rose again, nevermore to die, "for us and for our salvation."
If you've seen Jesus, known Jesus, grasped Jesus….you have come as close to God as you possibly can.
And then there's a third promise here—a promise that surpasses the first two: God has a life and a purpose for you. You belong to the God who hopes that you will "outdo" Him in this world. You belong to the God who believes in you more than you may believe in yourself.
This final promise in our text, I must admit, is so mind-boggling that I "scarce can take it in": "Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father."
What I hear Jesus saying is this: as he "goes to the Father," his mode of living and moving and acting on earth will be entirely through you and me. As we like to say in our Evangelical Lutheran Church in America: "God's work. Our hands."
So what Jesus did, we do and will keep on doing as long as God gives us life. That means, at the very least, that
• we will turn sinners loose, as Jesus did;
• we will bring resurrection hope wherever death seems to have the upper hand, as Jesus did;
• we will fill empty bellies, as Jesus did;
• we will embrace outcasts, as Jesus did;
• we will bring cheer to this world's sadness, as Jesus did;
• we will walk on earth in faith, hope and love--as Jesus did.
And maybe, just maybe, as Jesus lives in us, we'll gain some altitude with our little crop-dusting planes…and start to see "ahead of the curve," start to see and know and live the way Jesus does.
In the name of Jesus.

My sister and I booked Gaucho, to have a meal and good catch up. It didn't disappoint, the staff are fantastic very approachable with incredible memories for detail. Which makes one feel very special. We'd waited all day saving ourselves, no big lunch all snacking. The ambience and meal at Gaucho did not disappoint, whilst busy the layout is great, you don't feel on top of everyone allowing one to have a private conversation. The food presentation and steaks were cooked to perfection, we would definitely book again. Bringing more family and friends. Thank you!

Lovely meal. Excellent service

Me and my girlfriend came here to celebrate my birthday which was a day before the meal. The food was amazing and the steak was perfectly cooked, succulent and rich. We only had a set 3 course menu but by the end of the meal we felt very full and satisfied. The staff were very attentive, polite and friendly and even wrote a happy birthday message on my plate even though neither of us requested this (they knew we came to celebrate a birthday because the waitress which sat us down asked if we came here to celebrate anything and this message was obviously passed on to some of the other staff, to my pleasant surprise). The atmosphere in the place was really positive and my girlfriend said she felt like she was in the Great Gatsby movie. Would definitely recommend to others and will come back here in the future.

Bubbee passed away this morning, two and a half years shy of her century goal. Dad called and quietly told me; our voices were smooth above the grappling with ends underneath. He'd wanted to keep it brief, but I've never been good at that, and neither has he, so we talked about how it happened and the funeral and laughed about stuff that only makes sense if you had my specific bubbee.
Bubbee and I were never incredibly close; as a child, we did the family visits and intermittent letters, but not much more. We meandered into yearly meetings and cards and eventually hearsay, as the years passed. I thought today would be a soft sad day, but my memories that are sticking have a pointed quality to them, like they have a reason for wanting to be remembered.
Like her handwritten poems, about umbrellas and puddles and puppy dogs, that she sent me multiple times a year until I left for college, folded lengthwise on weird small purple paper and wrapped around a five dollar check, trademarked with her angular scrawl and her hopeful rhymes as she tried to make me smile from hundreds of miles away.
Like my brother, getting leave from active duty to chaperone her to and from my wedding, and merely raving about her exponential strength and spunk when he could have easily been eight shades of sleepless and irate. And Bubbee, wandering about the dance floor at 11pm, earnestly asking me if she did a good job partying with the rest of us.
Like all of us flying to Cali for her 90th and filing into an awkward dinner party that took up most of a super short weekend. Where we sat, in prim party clothes, around a long table under a blanket of food, and talked about random things in the hopes that Bubbee would suddenly look interested. Where we waded through appetizers and entrees and finally cake, only to have Bubbee peer out over her candles and say with utter clarity,
"I'm so glad you all could come out here to be here for this. It makes me glad to be alive."
The memories are pointed, see, because even though we weren't close, even though we weren't always there
We were there, and she knew it
And loss is loss. Filling it with easements just makes the hole wider, because the absence is love, and that's what we miss.

[Title inspired by a you-tube of a kirk minister in Inverurie giving a sermon on 'The Hairst' – or harvest – in broad Doric – like a scene from Sunset Song, except they wouldn't have had women in the pulpit in those days.]
So there we were on Sunday night dressing the church hall floor for a wee Taize event. We met the main dresser by chance in the street outside and I was given a massive branch of hawthorn to carry in – it was like Birnam Wood coming to Dunsinane. I also had to read out a poem by Elizabeth Barratt Browning – 'The Autumn' – which I found pretty moving. We had a good evening, and then I was given a bag of mixed windfall apples to take home.
Before going on to the jelly-making, I just want to show you these gourmet tatties – 'Shetland Blacks', apparently – when boiled, the skins go purple and the surrounding water goes turquoise. I haven't witnessed this myself because there were only three and they weren't on offer! Will be pleased to hear from anyone who has sampled same.
So – making apples into jelly is a great idea for loads of reasons, but one of the best is that you don't have to peel the wee buggers, you just give them a good wash and chop them up a bit, and simmer to a mush. That was yesterday, and I rigged up a pillowcase dangling from a kitchen stool at work to let it drip overnight. Today I boiled them up and made the jelly – as before, using the probe thermometer and boiling to 105 degrees. Brilliant. I wish I'd learned to use the technology years ago, and save myself from making all those jars of toffee …
The set on my jelly is great, the flavour is lovely, the colour is a little pale – apparently the best colour comes from crab apples but I don't think my collection contained any of those. However I didn't clear the scum off the top properly, thinking it would just sink or rise or magically disappear in some other helpful way – it didn't. It lurks in the jars in whitish streaks, so it's just as well I'm not planning to enter it for a competition. Next time I will be more careful. I'm telling you this so that you don't make the same mistake! Skim carefully, my friends, and your jelly may well be perfect.

What's Up FITTNation!
All of us have our own "zone" when it comes to work. Some choose the comfortable route, going about their regular routine each day and that satisfies them enough to feel accomplished. Others go the uncomfortable direction challenging their routine so as to break out of the regular and try something new in hopes of building new motivation.
What's your "zone"? What gets you fired up, pumped, and ready for battle? How do you stay "zoned in" on your target or goal for the minute, the hour, the day, or the week? How does that "zone" apply in your workouts or everyday life?
These are a couple of key questions to consider when preparing your mind and body for the effort that you are set to put forth. A level of determination needs to be established to really help you push past your former limits to create new ones. A level of confidence needs to be aroused so that your execution is BAM – right on point.
You also need to be aware of what factors can enter your "zone" and could potentially throw you off your game, as well as which ones contribute to your success.
My "zone" usually consists of three elements:
So what does your "zone" consist of?
For one thing, if it includes your cell phone, a hot guy or girl, or a series of loud grunts, growls, and screams…hey, I don't judge but I'll tell you – your "zone" is quite distracting. But if it works for you, do your thing! No one can tell you what your "zone" should be. The key is that you want to ensure that a high level of focus is there so that each movement is BAM –right on the money:-)
Until next time…

AnonD-5093, 24 Mar 2013HTC gave away couple of HTC One to celebrities during star guild awards in india!!! Yup they did !
Anonymous, 23 Mar 2013because apple has a lot better lawyers then them and they can't afford to throw away money in ... moreAnd you do? So legal system work it's all about who having more money? That's simply the most funny way of twisting the truth.
If HTC have hard evidents that they're not copying anyone, why bow and surrender to Apple? Think again, untruthful people.
hey hasan i noticed theres only 32gb isn't there 64gb as well nd do u know how much its gonna cost
Who listens to music from just the phone? USE SPEAKERS PPL!!! Shoddy camera too? Hello S4.

This was your big chance, HTC. I give up on you. Delays, no Verizon, bad battery life. I've been trying since Sensation to like you. Time's up.
If I find the Galaxy S4 available first, then I will buy it. Not going to wait any longer to upgrade. Disappointing, but I'll be just as happy with an S4

AnonD-77443, 23 Mar 2013I agree it should be higher than 48 hours... maybe not 70 but surely high 50's to low 60's.
... moreOne has bad standby times, thats why. 48h is same as Xperia Z, the Z eats more battery when display is on, but it is much more efficient in standby and 3G talktime.
One will then last longer with heavy usage, and Z will last longer with light usage.

Andy, 23 Mar 2013So the fantastic loudspeaker is not that loud, and the fantastic camera is not that clear. Dis... moreSo everyone is saying that it's the best and loudest smartphone speakers out there and you don't think so.
Have you heard it in real life?
Just got one and camera is amazing, the colours and contrast ate spot on. The low light is the best I have ever seen on a phone and I have been a professional photographer for well over 20 years. Love HTC highlights great idea and as for boom sound, I tried it against the Sony Xperia Z and the iPhone 5. It blew them both away.
Just like cameras you have professionalb ones and amateur ones. This is a professionalbphone, the S4 seems to gimmicky and plastic for me.
Its all about the One, the HTC One, well worth the wait.
If you want one now, (UK) try P4U have stock.

Nestled in the valley between the Rockies and the Purcell Mountains, Cranbrook is an outdoor enthusiast's dream vacation, where you can hike, bike and golf in summer or go snowmobiling and snowboarding in winter.
But no matter the time of year, there's plenty to do indoors as well, especially for history buffs.
Visitors can travel back in time to experience early passenger railcars at the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel and get a taste of early pioneer life at the nearby Fort Steele Heritage Town.
Like many Canadian cities, Cranbrook came into existence when the Canadian Pacific Railway first rolled into town in 1898. At that time, the city had a population of only 75 compared to the 1,000 people living at Fort Steele, which gained prominence after the Kootenays gold rush in the 1860s.
But after a railway spur line to Fort Steele failed to materialize, Fort Steele eventually became a ghost town and was designated a heritage property in 1961. It's now a "living history site" with more than 60 buildings and structures to explore, including the original Windsor Hotel, which operated from 1894 to 1955. The historic hotel was recently renovated and re-opened to overnight travellers year-round.
In the summer, Fort Steel Heritage Town gets approximately 100,000 visitors, curator Jessica VanOustwaard said.
One of the most valuable and oldest buildings on site is Sam Steele's quarters. The well-known North West Mounted Police officer stayed for just one year in Fort Steel, in 1887, but was so beloved by the people they renamed the town after him, she said.
"There had been high tension between the local people and the Ktunaxa First Nations people and he brokered a truce and things improved," VanOustwaard said.
The Ktunaxa have lived in the Cranbrook area for more than 10,000 years and are central to tourism in the area today.
This year, four Ktunaxa communities and the Shuswap Indian Band took over full ownership and management of the St. Eugene Golf Resort & Casino, which has been operating since 2003 for the hotel, 2002 for the casino, and 2000 for the 18-hole championship golf course.
What makes their story unique is the Ktunaxa are the only First Nations community in B.C. to have taken a sad moment in their history and turned it into an economic opportunity.
The St. Eugene Golf Resort & Casino is located in a former residential school, where more than 5,000 First Nations people from B.C. and Alberta were separated from their families between 1912 and 1970 in a bid to assimilate them.
It was a controversial decision not to bulldoze the school, as most of the other B.C. First Nations communities have done, but they decided to follow the advice of Mary Paul, one of their elders, said Gerard Teneese, business and product development co-ordinator at St. Eugene Golf Resort & Casino.
"We didn't want to knock it down because an elder stated this is where our culture and language was taken so this is a building where our culture and language should be returned," he said.
History buffs would be remiss not to visit the Cranbrook History Centre, which houses the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel, the Cranbrook Museum, a model railway, and the rebuilt Royal Alexandra Hall.
The CPR built many grand hotels across Canada, between 1888 and 1930, including the Royal Alexandra Hotel in Winnipeg in 1906. Its ballroom was dismantled after the hotel closed in 1967 and remained in storage for the next 25 years until the Cranbrook History Centre acquired it and restored it to its former glory.
Another remarkable example of a restoration project is the Canadian Museum of Rail Travel, which has a collection of 28 passenger rail cars – 13 of which are open to the public for a guided tour.
"The museum started in 1976 with the plan to get a single rail car and turn it into a gift shop," said senior tour guide Don Kirk. "They bought one in 1977 and started scrapping wallpaper and found amazing black walnut burl. It was a surprise. They thought they bought an old junk car but when they found this, it completely changed the direction of the museum."
A museum highlight is the seven sleeping train cars from the 1929 "Trans-Canada Limited" line which only operated for two years, between Montreal and Vancouver, before the 1931 Great Depression ended its run. The cost of luxury rail travel became too high to sustain it. (Back then, the cost for a single person was between $190 and $250 while a family of four would pay $800 to $1,200, which in today's value would be $15,000 to $22,000, said Kirk.)

First public Israel-Iran clash was only a taste of the next war
Analysis: In the next northern war, Hezbollah will launch dozens of UAVs, Israel's freedom of operation in Lebanon will be even more limited, and additional Israeli planes will likely be downed; to prevent the next war, or at least postpone it as much as possible, we must strengthen the Israeli deterrence and convince the world powers to take the Israeli interest into account when drawing up an agreement in Syria.
What took place in the northern skies Saturday was no less than the first public day of fighting between Israel and Iran. The undercover activity, which has been taking place so far through armed emissaries—from Hezbollah to Syria—turned into a real battle Saturday: Iran sent an advanced aircraft into Israeli territory, either to take pictures or to attack. It infiltrated Israel and was intercepted. In response, the IDF attacked significant Iranian targets in Syria.
The equation of an intercepted Iranian UAV versus a downed IAF warplane is very bad for Israeli deterrence. An advanced F-16I plane with experienced pilots isn't supposed to be shot down by a Syrian antiaircraft missile over Israeli territory, and this issue will likely be investigated.
This day of battle did have some very successful parts, however. We can't rule out the possibility that this was a well-planned ambush by the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. By launching such a special operation and sending an aircraft into Israel, they are preparing not only for the possibility it will be downed, but also for an IAF attack on its operations trailer. That's why they responded immediately with the strongest antiaircraft fire ever fired by the Syrians, and managed to hit one plane—which eventually crashed.
And this is where another battle begins, the battle of perception: Who won the most significant round of fighting the Syrian arena has experienced since the first Lebanon War? The Israeli Air Force was highly successful in its level of alertness and in tracking and intercepting the aircraft within Israeli territory to prove it was Iranian.
The Israeli success was reflected in the second stage too: An accurate surgical strike on the operations trailer at the T-4 airbase in Palmyra, an attack on 12 significant Iranian targets in Syria and on aerial defense systems.
What will be remembered at the end of the day, however, is the fact that an F-16I Soufa plane was downed in Israeli territory. In the battle of perception, the video of the parachuting pilots will be engraved in our collective memory more than the video of the attack on the UAV or the attack on the operations trailer.
The IAF has been operating in the Syria-Lebanon domain for six years now, and in the past two years this is being done under restrictions of advanced defense systems, which the Syrians received from the Russians. One of these systems, SA-5, was used against Israeli planes on Saturday. It's hard to find another air force capable of operating successfully under these conditions and providing impressive results. Syria's aerial defense system sustained considerable damage. Israel was prepared and quickly settled the score.
Addressing the incident on Saturday, Hezbollah defined it as "a new strategic stage, which will put an end to the invasion of Syrian airspace and territory. The old equations have been cancelled." This is the test we will but put to in the next northern war.
In the next war, Hezbollah will launch dozens of aircraft of this kind. Our freedom of action in Lebanon will be even more limited, and it's safe to assume that Israeli planes will be downed. To prevent the next war, or at least postpone it as much as possible, we must strengthen the Israeli deterrence vis-à-vis Iran, Syria and Lebanon.
And yes, we must also reach understandings with the Russians. The world powers must take the Israeli interest into account when drawing the finishing lines of the Syrian battle.

Primary Schools of Great Britain
Primary is where it all happens. Establishing a solid foundation is essential for fostering a stable and regular education. Students need to have solid foundations in order to feel more confident at school, and achieve their full potential. Do not leave difficulties aside, hoping things will improve in time, because in reality things will go worse.
All British Primary Schools provide fully qualified and enthusiastic teachers, while adapting the National Curriculum and the teaching methods are very important aspects of their method. All teachers are CRB checked for a safer environment.
Education in Britain
In Britain we believe repeating the same lessons and applying the same teaching methods over and over again is a huge mistake. We sit with students and try to understand what will lead them to achieve. At British Primary Schools, we provide students with a real kit for success.
Methodology, learning how to study, how to memorise and how to organise yourself, are some of our key skills. Primary school programs in Britain are designed to meet students' specific needs, and maintain extremely high educational standards and levels of quality. The pre-assessment and lessons reports also help tracking progress. We believe in every child's potential and we help you achieve it.
The British are proud of our education system, and rightly so. It is no wonder students from all over the world flock here to partake in it. Call us immediately with your primary school queries.
Welcome to the Primary Schools of Great Britain website The objective of this website is to ensure parents whose children are about to enter the education system full time can access all the information they need regarding education, school trusts and rankings, plus the subject matter and teaching methods their child will be introduced to, so that they can make their own educated decision about where to place their child for this important stage of their development.
It is also our intention to empower parents so that they feel able to be involved in the school administration and help determine its future direction. Please feel free to get in touch with us directly to learn more about the primary schools of Great Britain.

News emanating from Peshawar are that three suspected millitants were killed by a bomb that went off while the millitants supposedly were preparing to cause some destruction, early this morning. Before the incident, a powerufl bomb went off blowing a nearby CD shop besides damaging a few more.
News like such have almost beocme a routine in or around the provicial capital of NWFP courtesy the escalating fight between suspected millitants and the Pak Army in almost every corner of the frontier. The erstwhile peaceful city of Peshawar is feeling the brunt of the millitray operations launched to wipe out millitancy in South Waziristan and Swat. Its not long when a sucide bomber took the lives of almost 18 people along with his own when he blew himself amid a Muharram procession. The incident was grave enough to cast a spell of grief over the people of Peshawar for some days to come. Lately I've heard about some rockets being fired into Hayatabad, a modern residential area of the city which is not far away from Darra Adam Khel, a rather new operational ground to fight the millitants.
Discussing the legitimacy of using force to achieve the required results on part of the Pakistan Army or millitants for that matter, is another issue altogether but what I want to express here is my deep concern for the masses which are affected by the ongoing war in more than one way.
The operation in Swat, for instance has been devastating for the people of the valley once known as the Switzerland of Pakistan. The paradize on earth is burning in the hell fire causing to suffer thousands of innocent people inhabiting the area. Indescriminate firings and bombings from both the sides have taken hundreds of innocent lives. How can I forget the story of a moliv sahib, who happens to be a prayer leader in a mosque in our surroundings. Hailing from Khwaza Khela, a locality severly hit by the operation the moliv sahib left his home for Mardan and somewhere near the bus stand in Mingora he was ordered to stop by one of the Pak Army jawans, for every bearded man now a days in Swat is regarded to be a terrorist. He was searched, insulted, abused and warned not to be seen wandering over there again. Shortly after the incident another man was shot dead who didn't respond to the army men's shouts of stoppage and who was later recognized by the locals as an insane.
Mardan, the second largest populous city of the NWFP is also showing affects of the war on millitancy in Swat. The city is filled to the full by the migrating sufferers from Swat besides it is witnessing sporadic incidents of millitancy here and there. The PRC market popular for its video CD shops adjacent to the Army training center has twice been blown by the suspected millitants. A cable operating office was bombed on the day of Eid ul Adha when we heard those resounding explosions.
Similarly Kohat, Dera Ismael Khan and Karak are enveloped by gloom and disaster.
People residing the 'under operation' areas are fleeing to the settled areas, resultantly settled areas are feeling the heat too. The flames of war, it seems are englufing whole of the frontier. Negotiations ought to be contemplated before it beocmes too late. Peace is the need of the moment otherwise it will become impossible, a national integration.
NWFP under a cloud!

Ting. Ting. Ting. A hammer swings down onto a piece of gold, which starts to take shape atop the workbench. Leslie Chapman trades the hammer for a small torch to soften the strand of metal and her Dawson City workshop is silent as she waits for the gold to cool. She flattens and carefully manipulates the piece with her hands to form a cuff.
Originally conceived as a family-run gold placer mine, Chapman's business, Fortymile Gold, has been operating since 1978 in Forty Mile, Yukon, two hours by car from Dawson. "My husband and I moved into the bush because we wanted to live in the wilderness, so we picked a beautiful spot with good sun exposure for a garden and built a cabin," says Chapman. "We met an old-timer who told us that the creek we had chosen was known as a gold producer in the old days. So we staked a claim and got to know some miners and gradually over a period of years became gold miners." Chapman and her husband raised their children in the bush by their gold mine. But as their children grew up and the demand for a social life became deafening, they built a cabin in Dawson for the occasional retreat.
Over the years, the price of gold dropped and by the 1990s Chapman and her husband, Bill, found it less profitable to rely solely on the loose gold they had mined. "We decided the solution to that problem was to do something with the gold, like a farmer making pasta out of his wheat instead of selling raw wheat," says Chapman. "I got some books about goldsmithing and I got some tools and I started teaching myself how to be a goldsmith. And it was so fun. I realized I should have done this a long time ago." Bill turned their Dawson cabin into a jewellery workshop and their new business flourished.
Ting. Chapman is back at it with her hammer to forge a dented texture into the bracelet. The thin windows of the wooden studio are open, to coax in a breeze, subduing the intense Yukon heat. The midnight sun brings a steady stream of tourists into Dawson each summer and July is gold rush mania. Potential buyers—from Yukon newlyweds with dreams of emerald-dotted bands of gold, to foreigners with a taste for 20-carat gold—browse the selection at Chapman's studio. The workshop doubles a gallery that showcases other Yukon artists. The walls are colourfully decorated with oil paintings and beaded purses.
Chapman's jewellery has a surprisingly bright yellow complexion—a character trait of high-purity gold. Hers is 87-percent gold, 12.9-percent silver. "There is only 0.1-percent other stuff in there, which explains why it's so yellow," she says. "We're used to looking at jewellery, say, in a mall jewellery store in North America [and it] is usually always 10- or 14-carat, which is only 15-percent gold."
Chapman's work varies in style, from delicate rings to heavy pendants and turquoise earrings. She regularly incorporates Northern gems into her jewellery. "I use diamonds from the Northwest Territories because Northern gold, Northern diamonds: It's sort of an obvious fit. I've lived in the North most of my life. I think all sorts of things influence you."
The door to the studio bursts open and a man covered head to toe in heavy dust saunters in. "Oh, hi Frank!" Chapman greets the old-timer from across the room. "I owe you for a couple of pieces I sold last time." Chapman ducks into the many folders by her cash register. Frank does ivory carvings for some of her rings, she explains, pointing to a glass case at the front of the gallery.
"I stopped in to say g'day, but it's always nice when there's money involved," Frank laughs. The two old friends dive into excited conversation about hidden treasures and precious gold nuggets. "We've been so goddamn busy out there," says Frank, as he takes a seat and settles into shoptalk.
"Sounds like gold mining to me," says Chapman.

Ontario Takes Another Step to Close the Gender Wage Gap
Province Appoints Steering Committee to Inform New Strategy
Ontario has appointed a new Steering Committee to lead the development of a wage gap strategy that will work to close the wage gap between men and women. The Steering Committee members are:
- Linda Davis, Past-President of the Business and Professional Women's Clubs of Ontario
- Dr. Parbudyal Singh, leading expert in human resource management and labour relations
- Emanuela Heyninck, Ontario's Pay Equity Commissioner
- Nancy Austin, Executive Lead for the Ministry of Labour
The gender wage gap is a complex issue caused by many factors including workplace discrimination, unequal gender representation in the workplace and a higher proportion of caregiver responsibilities falling to women. All women across the economic spectrum are affected by the wage gap, but the gap is more pronounced for women who are minorities, Aboriginal, newcomers, or living with disabilities.
This year the committee will consult with diverse groups across the province to:
- Examine how the role of women at work, in their family, and in their community is affected by the gender wage gap
- Understand how the gender wage gap specifically affects women in the workforce across the economic spectrum
- Assess ways in which government, business, labour, other organizations, and individual leaders can work together to address the conditions and the systemic barriers that contribute to the wage gap
- Understand other factors that intersect with gender to compound the wage gap and determine how those factors should be addressed
The committee will report back to government in early 2016 with the results of their consultations and with recommendations that will help shape the province's Gender Wage Gap Strategy.
Closing the wage gap between men and women is part of the government's economic plan for Ontario. The four-part plan is building Ontario up by investing in people's talents and skills, building new public infrastructure like roads and transit, creating a dynamic, supportive environment where business thrives and building a secure savings plan so everyone can afford to retire.
Quick Facts
- Based on the most recent Statistics Canada data, Ontario's gender wage gap ranges from 12-31.5%.
- The gap is more pronounced for Aboriginal and racialized women and those with disabilities.
- Equal Pay Day is calculated each year in countries around the world to mark the extra time it takes a woman to earn as much as a man.
Background Information
Additional Resources
"Our government is committed to women's equality in Ontario. We have strengthened women's economic opportunities and have taken down barriers that prevent full participation by women in the labour force. Building on the progress we've already made, the advice of the Steering Committee will help us further improve economic outcomes for women in Ontario."
Kevin Flynn
"While women participate in all parts of the workforce, a gap in pay between men and women still exists, stunting women's economic prosperity and the prosperity of the province. Our government recognizes that when we are all treated equally, we all benefit, and that's why we are taking action today, for a more equal and economically sound Ontario."

Prime Minister Sorin Grindeanu said Wednesday that information that fugitive criminal Sebastian Ghita (photo) had allegedly been tracked down in Serbia is false, urging the Police to do their job.
He announced having requested information about the case before attending an activity report meeting of the Interior Ministry (MAI).
"Just before joining the meeting I asked the question. It seems that the hot information is not correct. I do not want to go into details, and I am even urging [the Police] to do their job and apprehend not just Ghita but anyone declared a fugitive who has to come to account before court," said Grindeanu.
He went on to say that the information that Ghita was tracked down in Serbia came from unofficial sources.
"The source for this information is neither the Government, nor the Interior Ministry, the manager of the situation. As far as I understand, the information came from unofficial sources that before the meeting had not been confirmed," said Grindeanu.
Grindeanu attended in the official opening in Slobozia, south, of a monthly government action called "We grow together," for planting trees.

I suppose it can be. After a late night ice hockey game (I scored!), I still feel beat up and exhausted. Not really sure that there is much I can do right now.
I'm getting a little down about the whole situation as far as searching for jobs is concerned. There are a lot of really shitty jobs out there. Even in the Albany area, which can boast one of the best economies in the Northeast–outside of the major cities–there are just a lot of really boring, mind numbing jobs that are posted.
I see a counselor for anxiety and other issues and he is a career counselor as well. He works for the Diocese of Albany and is a really neat guy so far. Anyway, he's suggested that I read What Color is Your Parachute on the side of another book he has assigned me.
Never have I been able to apply too well the wisdom doled out in those types of books, but as I know where to get a free copy, I'll give it a shot. I deserve to help myself.
The last 18 months have been rough. I've been through a lot. I was laid off from my job as a newspaper reporter, which in itself wouldn't have been so bad had it not hurt my chances of getting back in the field. I was going through a lot of anxiety unrelated to the job, when I began working there. I'd uprooted after graduating and basically said goodbye for good to a four-year relationship. Never did I have much guidance, as I was assigned to a field office. I just hated it in general. But I'd like to be a reporter again at some point.
I can get mad or see the situation for what it is. Some things aren't meant to be and that's alright. Maybe everything has a point and a purpose. I love to write but I love to write about things I love to write about, not village board meetings in shitkicker locales or whatever new thing an editor wants to exploit to stay hip.
This last year has been punctuated by shitty jobs. I made it to the third round of what could have been an awesome government job, but was passed over for a more qualified candidate. I'm going to send my resume over again in case. Just in case she's moved on to greener pastures.
Well, maybe I can do something interesting tonight. Hell, when all else fails, just get loaded!

Journeys of Heartache and Grace: Conversations And Life Lessons From Young People With Serious Illnesses is a book of stories, life lessons and communication strategies coming directly from those who mince no words: children and young people with terminal or serious illnesses. The book is non-fiction and relates to how families communicate and the life lessons learned when young people become seriously ill. Although taken from the perspective of seriously ill young people, the strategies and lessons from the book apply to people of all ages.
Journeys of Heartache and Grace stems from author Dr. Melody Chatelle's personal, one-on-one interviews with young people ages six to 20 living with life-threatening illnesses. The interviews were conducted as a part of her PhD work from The University of Texas at Austin, College of Communication. The publication was a 2004 nominee for Dissertation of the Year.
Chatelle is a long-time Hospice Austin volunteer who also owns Chatelle and Associates, a legislative and communication consulting company based in Austin, Texas.

On Saturday night, me and my husband went to the annual Christmas gala put on by my employers. While I always get excited about the prospect of going out for a meal at a place that does not supply paper menus and crayons, there is always a bit of angst involved in the preparation.
For a start, we have to arrange childcare and hope that the almost-six-year-old drama queen won't have a hissy fit when he discovers that we're going out without him. When we fail to find childcare because it's the Christmas season and apparently, baby-sitters have lives too, we have to hope that the kids won't tie their elderly grandmother and great-aunt to a pole and dance around them waving sticks and chanting ominously.
Once the kids are sorted out, we move on to the more difficult question, one that has plagued women all over the world since the very beginning of time.
What do I wear?
Where shopping is concerned, my philosophy is this: Why put off until tomorrow what you can do the following day? In that vein, I went shopping for my dress at lunchtime on Friday, one day before the event. And yes, I had to get a new dress. No, I couldn't wear something already in my wardrobe. My clothing size has changed so many times over the years, in both directions, that I don't actually have anything that fits. So, off the store I went, fully expecting that as usual, I would have to settle for something I didn't really like. The perils of being a habitual last-minute shopper. Someday I'll learn. Maybe. Probably not.
Anyway, the shopping expedition went a lot better than expected. As soon as I walked into the store, I saw a chocolate brown creation that looked very nice. I never thought chocolate brown was really my colour, but some intuition told me to give it a try. By some miracle, they actually had the dress in my size. I picked out a couple of other dresses to try on just in case the chocolate brown one didn't work out, and I retreated into the change room. I briefly wavered between the chocolate brown dress and a red one, but in the end I went for my initial instinct. Apart from the fact that the brown looked better, I already had shoes that would go with it. I wasn't wild about the idea of dropping over a hundred bucks on a pair of shoes that would shred my feet by the time dessert was being served.
Fast forward to Saturday afternoon, when we were getting ready to go. My makeup was applied and my hair was as done as it was ever going to be. The husband was off putting on his glad rags, and all I had to do was put the dress on. As I slipped it over my head, my eight-year-old son – so sweet and innocent in his autism – wandered in. He tentatively touched the shiny fabric and smiled. And then – to my astonishment – he started helping me accessorize. He grabbed my shoes and helped me put them on. He dug around in my dresser and came up with the necklace I wore with my wedding dress. He handed it to me and said, "Put the necklace on, Mommy." It wasn't the necklace I had been planning on wearing, but when your mostly non-verbal autistic child gives you a full, appropriate-to-the-circumstances sentence, you don't sneeze at it. I put the necklace on, and would you believe it, the kid was right! The necklace looked way better than what I had been planning on.
My little fashion diva stepped back to survey his handiwork. He gazed at me and said a single word: Princess.
We had a great night. The food was good, we had very nice people at our table, we danced and partied and had fun. The dress was a hit, and my some miracle, it was even comfortable. There are many moments of the evening that I smile about as I relive them. Walking into the ballroom hand-in-hand with my husband. The many laughs we shared with the people at our table. The outstanding wine and the food that was so pretty I almost didn't want to eat it.
But in the end, there is one memory of the evening that I hold close to my heart, that warms me from the inside every time I think about it.
My beautiful son, looking at me with those big blue eyes, calling me a princess.
At moments like that, my cup overfloweth.

Annie Lennox approached by talent scout – THE AUSTRALIAN
The above shows the huge generation gap in the music industry- some young promotion girl thinking that the great Annie Lennox is an undiscovered talent who might have the potential to be more than she is.
Dear gawd, who hires these gremlins and has the world become one paean to The Peter Principle where mediocrity and incompetence is rewarded? This A&R and promotions genius never thought of looking up the name Annie Lennox on Google? She might have even discovered the iconic singer's early days with Dave A Stewart in Eurythmics. And what a brilliant duo they made.
Has there always been this chasm when it comes to appreciating music or is this part of today's brave new social media driven world where there's so much of everything that so much of everything falls straight through the cracks?
Growing up, when casually introduced as a kid by my musician father to artists like Nat King Cole, the Dave Brubeck Quartet, Benny Goodman, the Glenn Miller Orchestra, Ella Fitzgerald, Errol Garner, Peggy Lee, Julie London etc and those timeless standards written by all the great Tin Pan Alley, this music stayed with me while the world and my older cousins were in the throes of Beatlemania and the entire British Beat Boom invasion- The Dave Clark V, the Kinks, the Hollies, Manfred Mann, the Searchers, the Stones, the very underrated Zombies and Animals etc etc.
Looking back, one guesses it was "collecting" music as the soundtrack to the journey of life continued and still continues today. And when reading who had inspired all these bands, it meant going back and discovering the old Sun Recordings, Bluesmen like Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed, Robert Johnson and, of course, Little Richard and Chuck Berry, all of which led to making one's own musical discoveries.
There was always a friendly game of oneupmanship between friends where we wanted to share "our" music. But more than this, the interest and knowledge and appreciation for all this musical creativity definitely had an effect on honing our writing skills. When picking up an instrument for the first time, our self taught lessons in music history eventually had some of us try our hand at writing original songs. These might not have been shining examples of brilliance, but it was a start and which later helped some of us to know intuitively what was derivative and what was not. If getting into A&R when entering the workforce and being hired by a music company, this served many of us well. It meant knowing a music company's back catalogue as well as being able to hear something special and sign up new talent. It was all about having an inquisitive mind to absorb as much music as possible as a labour of love.
Is this same commitment and passion for "collating" music still around today. Definitely. Just listen to how Selena Gomez has reinvented herself. Her "Bad Liar" is brilliant.
This same dedication is there in the songs of young new artists whom you just know have done their homework. They understand and respect the past and know how to make their music relevant today. If they want Bruno Mars type fame and success, or that of an artist like Pharrell who has liberally "borrowed" influences from Sly and the Family Stone, Marvin Gaye and every single James Brown recording, or wish to see how one can take total ownership of the music created and be happy with moderate success, it's their call.
The problem that could stunt many new artists is having no mentors to guide them. Creating a DIY world is fine. But right here and now, all hell has broken loose and confusion reigns regarding real success and fake success and not hearing that this is as good as it's going to get for many who are simply not good enough, or at least not ready for prime time yet.
Unfortunately, the illusion of fame and success comes so easily today that it's created an unhealthy culture with too many setting their selfie heights way too high and way too quickly and with no one there to catch them when they fall.
The need to attend the school of music street smarts is the best learning grounds. Sadly, it seems this particular school's out forever.

If you're reading this, is there any chance you can help me with a campaign? I want to ask scientists worldwide to consider researching a new potential cure for my little girl's brain tumour related health conditions. All you'll need to do is press "share" on your Facebook or share through whatever social medium you use so that this blog post is seen by as many people as possible. This way, someone, somewhere may go
"YEAH! Cool idea for a study! Let's do it!'
And that way, you may be instrumental in pushing science forward in a direction that could help my daughter and thousands like her have a better quality of life.
If you are short of time just read these five short paragraphs:
In a Nutshell My six year old daughter had a brain tumour called a 'Craniopharyngioma' diagnosed earlier this year. The tumour is out but she is still sick and I promised I'd find a way to heal her: "I will heal you"…A promise to my daughter after her Brain Tumour. So what I want is someone, somewhere to do a study on the effects of Oxytocin Hormone Replacement Therapy in patients with Craniopharyngioma. Things that I would like looked at would include; 1. Management of Appetite and Weight Regulation 2. Improved Perceived Quality of life.
Survivors of Craniopharynigoma are lucky – their prognosis is better than many other types of brain tumours.However, they frequently wake up from their surgery with damage to an area of the brain called the "Pituitary Gland." The Pituitary Gland is responsible for secreting hormones and so Craniopharyngioma survivors are given a selection of medications to replace some of the hormones missing from the Pituitary Gland. An example of these medications includes synthetic hormones such as Thyroxin to replace missing Thyroid Function and Steroids to replace missing Cortisol, these prescribed hormones are necessary for sustaining life. However, not all Pituitary hormones are replaced via medication; the Pituitary Gland also secretes other hormones that are not directly linked to 'survival' and one of these hormones is Oxytocin.
My daughter is alive, she is surviving, yet watching her recover has left me wanting: There is so much more to life than merely 'surviving it.' Hana struggles with low energy, low mood, poor social interaction and the worst of it all; an extreme hunger (hyperphagia) that possesses most of her waking thoughts and an enormous, debilitating weight gain, the dreaded onset of Hypothalamic Obesity. So what does Oxytocin have to do with this? Let me tell you:
Oxytocin has been studied over the last few years for its positive effects on mood and sociability in people thought to produce low levels of the hormone, yet suriviors of craniopharyngioma like my daughter, who can no longer produce Oxytocin are not offered oxytocin as part of their standard hormone replacement therapy. Secondly, a study last year, 2013,on obese human subjects showed that oxytocin administration decreased appetite and facilitated weight loss through metabolic changes – with no negative or toxic side effects. Could these remarkable effects of oxytocin, a missing, non-replaced hormone, help people like my daughter?
Doctors are less likely to prescribe a 'new therapy' (even though it's known to be beneficial in other areas) without a study, or a human trial on the intended population. So I am now calling upon the international scientific community to consider conducting a study on a sample of craniopharynmgioma survivors so that we may all see, and know, what impact Oxytocin Hormonal Replacement could have in their lives.
That's the shortest, briefest summary. If anyone reading this thinks such a trial could be a good idea, please get in touch via this blog or my Facebook Page and I'll spread the good word to other Cranio survivors and their parents.If you don't want to read anymore, please press the 'Share' button or email this link to someone who may want to help.
IF you have time to read more, here is the background:
I declared war against the onset of Hypothalamic Obesity in my six year old daughter the week after her brain tumour was removed.
It started here: Healing my Daughter's Brain and a raging War against her Obesity
and then, last week I came across something amazing via the Cranio Facebook Page and I wrote this –
'WOW! Is this the potential CURE for my daughters' Obesity?'
and I did some further research on it –
'My Daughter NEEDS Oxytocin after her Brain Tumour-Why isn't she getting it?'
The medical profession has no cure for my daughter's condition which is characterised by an all consuming constant hunger and rapid weight gain in spite of diet and exercise. Medical studies haven't been able to figure out exactly why some patients with Craniopharyngioma develop Hypothalamic Obesity (although there are risk factors, more on that here) but I'm beginning to wonder whether PART of the answer lies in inadequate, partial hormone replacement therapy? The hormone Oxytocin has SO many other functions beyond lactation and labour yet it is not prescribed for patients with tumour related Panhypopituitarism (non functioning Pituitary Gland) and many go on to develop hyperphagia and weight gain. As far as I can see, no one has yet suggested that this missing hormone may actually be a contributing factor to this distressing condition. Medications that work against the body are prescribed, like Ritalin and Dexamphetmaine, stimulants to crank up the broken metabolism and Sympathetic Nervous System, yet could the answer – or part of it – actually lie within a missing, replaceable hormonal signal? Could part of the solution be so obvious, so glaringly simple, that science and medicine have been blind to it?
I will be trialling the hormone, Oxytocin on my daughter over the next few weeks – as far as I know no other child worldwide after a craniopharyngioma has ever used Oxytocin for improved quality of life and weight/appetite regulation. Hana is the first! I intend to blog in detail what I observe. But watching the progress of my daughter isn't enough. She is highly sensitive to even minute hormonal changes and it could take us a while to work up to a therapeutic dose. In addition, a case study is not considered rigorous science. I could do a Ph.D on the topic – I may well be pushed to if no one else wants to do the study – but a Ph.D will take me years to complete! Meanwhile there are hundreds, thousands, of people who could potentially be benefitting from improved quality of life from Oxytocin replacement therapy right now…If it is proven to help.
This is why I need you to press the share button, and send this "Plea" to the inboxes of anyone you feel would be interested in taking this further. Someone may know someone! I hope and feel the future of my daughter, and so many others, could be so much brighter – if only science would let it be so.

I came to bed tonight unsure whether I would talk about the first day of the "new me, new start" plan or if instead I should share my thoughts on student loans etc when I suddenly realised – Katie why don't you ask your readers what they would like to hear about?
So tonight is a short and sweet post in which I ask you to comment below with suggestions for anything you'd like me to change or write about! 🙂 Don't be afraid, I don't bite! If you'd like to hear less about my ramblings inside my head and more about something else then please tell me. On the other hand, if you'd rather keep reading the usual stuff then also let me know this too! I'll try and do whatever anyone asks of me.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Ever yours,

(CNN) -- Lobsang Sangay has a hard act to follow.
He is the first Prime Minister, or Kalon Tripa, of the Tibetan government-in-exile to be directly elected by Tibetan delegates overseas.
The 43-year-old has taken over the day-to-day political responsibilities of the Dalai Lama and in doing so is the first person to succeed the political duties held by the Buddhist spiritual leader without the need for reincarnation.
The Dalai Lama said that in ceding his formal political authority to another was necessary for "democratization to be complete."
Sangay has never set food in Tibet and recently gave up his position as a research fellow at Harvard Law School to be elected the new Kalon Tripa and live in Dharamsala, India, away from his wife and daughter
Sangay's job is to continue the "middle way" advocated for decades by the Dalia Lama to give Tibetans true autonomy in Tibet . Sangay says he won't hold back in his view on what needs to change for that to be achieved.
"My job is a lot easier (than the Dalai Lama's). I guess I have to be the secondary voice, political voice at an international level so that people understand the situation in Tibet. That it is tragic and it needs to be addressed," he said.
"What will be slightly different will be that I will be more forthright and frank about the realities in Tibet. Present Tibet is a tragedy. Chinese government promised us a socialist paradise in the early 1950s. Now 60 years after, what you see is not a socialist paradise."
Sangay grew up in Darjeeling, India, where he went to a Tibetan refugee school before studying at Delhi University. His parents, however, experienced hardships firsthand in Tibet before they fled from the Chinese authorities in 1959.
His father, a monk, joined the guerrilla forces against the Chinese military after his monastery was reduced to rubble in 1956. In contrast Sangay remains committed to forceful words, not violence, in his role as chief advocate for better rights for Tibetans.
"(The Chinese government) have money power and military power but no moral power," said Sangay.
"China will not be respected if they continue to repress Tibetan people. If they want respect, they have to earn it. They have to earn it by performing a noble act -- performing an act which is based on universal freedom and human rights for Tibetan people."
Despite China's position on Tibet that it is an inseparable part of China and classified as an autonomous region, Sangay is hopeful that his mandate for dialogue with China could lead to a better future for Tibetans.
"Who would have thought even a year ago that (the Arab Spring) would happen. Things change in the world," he said.

California Estate Tax Audit Attorney
California Attorney Equipped to Handle An Estate Tax Audit
Estate taxes and estate planning intended to minimize them is constantly evolving. When someone in your family has passed away, proper handling of the affairs of the deceased can be a complex process. Many executors and administrators of estates do not consider the prospect of a tax audit as they carry out their duties.
If you receive notice of an IRS estate tax audit, please contact me, Irvine-based veteran tax attorney Scott Kauffman, right away. As with all other tax matters, I adamantly discourage people from talking to or otherwise interacting with the IRS. I will take care of that for you, protecting you every step of the way.
Contact the Tax Litigation Law Offices of Scott Kauffman today for an experienced California estate tax audit attorney. Nearly 30 years of legal experience and well over 20 years devoted exclusively to tax work.
Total Preparation to Protect You From Adverse Financial Consequences
The essential difference between an estate tax audit and an income tax audit is that values of property and assets — rather than actual income, expenses and deductions — are the most common source of the potential tax controversy. It can be important to realize that:
- Mistakes may have been made in setup of the will or living trust
- Improprieties — willful or not — can occur in administration of the estate and preparation of necessary estate tax returns
- Valuations of real estate, business interests and other types of property are inherently subjective, and your defense against any adverse finding could be strong
Experienced in Complex Property Valuation, Litigation, Trust Analysis and More
As a California tax lawyer with over 30 years total experience and well over 20 focused exclusively on taxation, I have assisted many people striving to get through an estate tax audit without incurring additional — potentially very significant — additional tax liability being assessed. I stay on top of current IRS and California tax authority practices — such as a recent attempted crackdown on marketers and those who benefit from "abusive trusts."
I am strong in the analysis, resources and preparation essential for getting you through an estate tax audit. This includes interpreting and appealing any adverse results of the IRS audit, should they occur, by all available legal means.
Contact a Skilled Irvine Taxation Law Lawyer
My practice is focused on Southern California counties, including Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino, but I have handled critical tax matters for people virtually statewide. Call or e-mail me today — preferably before you talk to the IRS — for a consultation to determine your exposure and our best available approach.

'Rise of the Apes' Proves CGI Can Replace Animals In Film (Video)
After watching the first official teaser for the upcoming "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" trailer, I had a really hard time believing that absolutely none of the animals featured were real.
That stunning achievement is exactly the effect director Rupert Wyatt was going for – choosing to forgo completely the use of any apes during filming. According to one release, Wyatt wanted to send a message to other studios that in this day of advanced computer animation, there's no need to stress out real animals for filmmaking.
While details are light, we also know that Fox Studios is working with The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund to also draw awareness to animal experimentation; a theme that features heavily in the film. Obviously, there's a tremendous opportunity to shed light on the animals caught up in labs around the world.
More to come – but for now, check out the incredible trailer after the jump below.
