.this will give u a fair idea
Ever since the Indian government presented the finance bill (now before the parliament), which includes taxation on NRI deposits, NRIs here are pulling away their deposits and re-depositing them in local banks here, the chairman and the financial adviser of the NRI Federation here told the Times Business yesterday.
V. T. Saileswaran, chairman, and Jose Chacko (*), honorary financial adviser, of the NRI Federation also noted that this ruling will greatly affect Kerala. "Kerala will suffer the most because NRKs (non-resident Keralites), one of the biggest remitters in India, will now look for other means. We should understand that Kerala is greatly dependent on NRK deposits," they said.
However, this means that they will turn their attention to other areas, and perhaps invest in land and property. This will in turn boost land and property values, they noted.
The finance bill has done away with the exemption available to NRIs in respect of interest on NRE deposits and FCNR deposits with banks with effect from September 1, 2004. "This means that the interest accrued after September 1, 2004, will be included in the taxable income. Banks are required to deduct income tax on NRE and FCNR deposits of NRIs at the rate of 20 per cent. An education cess of 2 per cent is applicable on the tax and surcharge. If it is a foreign bank the rate will be 30 per cent plus," Jose Chacko, who has done an in-depth study on the same, explained.
An NRI is not required to pay any income tax if his taxable income is not more than Rs50,000. "In this case an NRI has to file his return of tax for getting the refund of tax deducted by banks.
"Since the requirement of issuing the TDS (tax deducted at source) certificates by the deductor is abolished (with effect from April 1, 2005), the deductee will get the credit on the basis of the annual statement issued by the prescribed income tax authority or the agencies authorised by that authority.
"This annual statement will be prepared on the basis of quarterly statements sent by the tax deductors. It is obvious that such consolidation will be done on the basis of PAN (Permanent Account Number).
Even though NRIs are exempt from obtaining the PAN under section 139A(8)(d) of the Income Tax (IT) Act, procedurally the IT department will not accept the returns of income from any person who has not obtained or applied for PAN. All these make it compulsory to get a PAN by every person who want to claim refund. In effect if any person wants a refund of tax deducted by banks, where the tax deducted at source is more than the tax payable, he has to:
Compulsorily get a PAN number
Get the annual statement of tax deducted and paid
File the return of income every year.
Appear before tax authorities in India, if summoned.
For those NRIs who are residing far away and visiting India not very often, compliance of all these requirements will create unwarranted difficulties.
"In our view, NRIs may not have any objection to paying marginal tax and thereby contribute to the economic development of the nation, but the hardship of preparing accounts, appointing consultants, filing tax return, awaiting assessment, getting the refund etc are going to be unpleasant experiences for NRIs," Saileswaran and Jose said.
"The NRIs can ask for a lower percentage of tax deduction or complete exemption of tax, if he is able to get a certificate from the assessing officer of his area of residence in India, by satisfying him about source of income and the need to deduct tax at a lower rate or exempt the same totally.
"Banks are required to deduct income tax if the interest credited or paid in excess of Rs5,000. This makes it compulsory for an NRI to file the Return of Income even though he has no taxable income," Jose said
The TDS collection by banks will be shown in Table A and the tax implications of various levels of income will be illustrated in Table B, assuming that the only source of income is the bank interest.

Dear NRI. your information is correct. Income earned abroad by persons resident outside in India is not taxable in India. However if you perform any job in India, then compensation for such work will be treated as income earned in India and will be accordingly subject to tax. As to the PAN card, I would suggest you can cousult your tax consutant and obtain a pan card. You may wish to make some investments in capital market, like Mutual funds etc, (available to NRIs) and for investments over Rs.50000 individually, PAN card number is called for, at least for the residents.

You'll still need to pay US income tax, doesn't matter where your company deposits it. It might make a nightmare as you'll have to figure out the exchange rate.
Consult a tax lawyer or you could wind up in big trouble.

Torpor is a state of apparent death that falls uppon a vampire when it reaches a certain point in his Requiem. The triggers for this condition can be hunger, injury or simply boredom.
When one of the Kindred falls to torpor, they appear dead. Their skin tightens over Their flesh and dries out. Joints harden, and the top layer of tissue turns to a faint, ashen dust. During slumber, they experiences strange, nonsensical dreams that keep the mind active and exercised, called the Fog of Eternity. Usually, this means they're prepared to adapt to a new world.
Sometimes, this goes awry; the vampire wakes up a whole new person, or, rarely, with distorted memories of their past existence. Some rare bloodlines are rumored to know deep secrets about the truths of torpor. They claim to communicate with those in the throes of torpor. They swear they can divine otherworldly knowledge of the realms of the dead from torpor dreams. They suggest the Kindred soul wanders another plane with the specters of history, and comes back with hidden information.
The length of Torpor is determined by the Humanity rating of a vampire. A Draugr with zero Humanity will sleep for hundreds of years, while a vampire with high Humanity will awaken after a handful of nights. Only Belial's Brood have found a way to circumvent this restriction by via the Discipline of Choronzon.

Man in wheelchair drowns at Codorus State Park marina
An approximately 60-year-old man died after a water-related incident at Codorus State Park on Oct. 15.
A man in a wheelchair, approximately 60-years-old, died on Sunday after he was found in 15 feet of water at Codorus State Park, Department of Conservation and Natural Resources park manager Deanna Schall said.
The man, who has not yet been identified, was found in the water near the marina at the park around 5:15 p.m., Schall said.
He was strapped into his wheelchair when he fell into the water, according to Earl Hockenberry, Codorus State Park Assistant Manager.
The York County Coroner's office pronounced the man dead at about 6 p.m. He had drowned shortly before 5 p.m., according to a York County Coroner's news release.
The man was visiting the park with his caregivers, when he reportedly rolled off the dock and into the water, the release states.
Once next of kin has been notified additional details, including cause and manner of death, will be released.
Codorus State Park Rangers are investigating this death, the release states.
The York County Coroner's Office was called to the scene about 5:15 p.m. Crews from West Manheim Police, DCNR rangers, Hanover Hospital Medic 46, Pleasant Hill EMS and Penn Twp. Fire and Rescue Scuba 49 were all on scene.
Schall said the incident remains under investigation.

The shortage of light may end up being an issue if you're trying to find a set which will illuminate your entire yard since these lights aren't very bright. Remember, you may also string lights around the exterior of the tent or criss cross them for an exceptional design of your own. These lights also supply a cordless free outdoor atmosphere. Lets take a look at the best places where they can be used. They are available in solid color strands, so they may be a better option for those looking to really customize a display.

Popular Textbook Pricing Bill's Faults Revisited [1]
The proposed Textbook Transparency Act [2] hopes to reduce seemingly exorbitant prices to students by mandating that publishers and bookstores provide a wealth of extra information about their books, and restricting their ability to bundle individual items for sale. Although our [3] skepticism [4] has been explained, the Missouri bill's strong chances of success [5] and the national momentum behind similar legislation [6] warrant further consideration of this issue.
My fellow critics have described how mandated information sharing will fail to effect any change for all but the least discriminating consumers (those who don't check prices online). Also, the potential abuses of a tuition-funded book purchasing system are glaringly obvious. They rightly suggest that communication costs between producers and bookstores, especially regarding bundling, would necessarily increase prices to students.
The simple fact is that textbook authors enjoy an intellectual monopoly. The tremendous input costs of time and expertise, coupled with the overwhelming risk that a new book will not replace the existing standard, afford successful authors handsome payoffs. Textbook bundling is simply a tactic employed to partially reconcile monopolistic prices with what consumers think is fair. If Missouri lawmakers take away this option, producers will have little trouble reclaiming their lost profits elsewhere. In fact, more common than bundles are supplementary software packages and personalized website codes sold alongside lone textbooks. At the end of the day, authors of quality textbooks could always resort to overt price increases without facing much penalty from eagerly subscribing professors.
Only one provision of the act, the ineffectual mandated information bit, addresses the bookselling practice most widely begrudged among college students the seemingly unnecessary and frustratingly frequent release of new editions. I can hardly think of a more potent insult to a room full of economics majors than to deny them aftermarket prices on their textbooks so that they can receive essentially the same product, now with four font colors [7]. But then, legislation cannot (and should not) decide for authors when it's appropriate to revise their works.
In the end, successful authors deserve proper reimbursement for providing a superior resource. As the chances of the Textbook Transparency Act's passage grow,

Stretching and Streaking My Way Through April!April 21, 2018 / byrunningwhilevegan / Categories : Running, yoga
The last two days I have been on a really successful workout streak! I've started my shifts at 3pm, which allows me to wake up on my own time and then hit the mat. Well, make coffee and then hit the mat. I've also had the time to squeeze some short runs in, and it's been great!
Yesterday I decided to go ahead and begin with Yoga With Adriene's Day Five Feel Alive Flow from her old skool 30 Days of Yoga Series. It reminds me of one of my favorite videos, Yoga to Get the Juices Flowing, but double the time! Which is superb, because I never feel like Juices Flowing is long enough! I followed Feel Alive Flow with Yoga Revolution Day Six: Attention (and Abs) Practice. All the strength training in the prior videos of the series came in handy for that 36 minute practice! Day six of her series are always ab day! I look forward to it, and loathe it at the same time haha. I make it so much tougher in my head than the practice actually is!
Day Six was structured differently than most ab workouts I am used to. The first half is full of planks, down dogs, side planks, thread the needle pose, cat cow, lunges, sphinx and puppy pose. Then came time for the mat work – core pulses, yogi bicycles, and oblique work with eagle legs. I felt awesome afterwards and decided to go on a run. I implemented the run/walk method I've been trying out, 2:30 run, 30 second walk. I did this for 3.25 miles. I was flying! Runs haven't felt like this in awhile, I've been feeling heavy and clunky throughout my LA Marathon training. The past two years I've noticed winter is not necessarily my best running season – I get sick and I have a hard time finding my stride. I'm one of those weirdos who prefers spring and summer training! I like the sun on my back and the heat doesn't bother me too much. I'm not going to stop my training in winter, but once spring rolls around it's like "YES! HERE I AM! I'M READY!". I also think interval training (run/walk) has helped with both my heart rate and speed. It was uncomfortable at first, and difficult to find my groove, but I've really been enjoying it this week!
I went into work after that and things went well. Not my best day. It's that awkward time where I still feel new, but I'm not necessarily in training mode anymore. I was told to try and come off more confident when speaking to the customers – it was delivered respectfully and legit constructive criticism, but my personality just wants to do things the right way all the time. Which means I'm a nervous wreck and can tend to beat myself up easily over things that don't matter that much. It's a constant practice to just go with the flow, accept things, and just chill – don't take things so personally. Finding both yoga and running have helped tremendously with finding my inner power and strength, but there's still work to do.
Today was a new day! I woke up feeling sore! MY ABS WERE SO SORE! I was tired, and felt like maybe today would be a good recovery day. Once I got out of bed, had some coffee, took care of paperwork, I rolled out the mat for another workout! I'm on a roll, I can't quit now!
Revolution Day Seven, Stability Practice was a treat after yesterday's ab work. It took about 10 minutes to get started on the flow, which included warriors, triangle, extended side angle and one of my favorites – tree pose! This practice was all about balance and stability, which I loved! Such a great theme, and much needed during this time of newness!
Next up I did No Fear Yoga. It had been quite awhile, and I remembered enjoying this one. It's challenging, yet swift and fun. I chose this video because of the title, because I would like to face my challenges this week with no fear!
No Fear Yoga was similar to Day Seven, but more flow, swifter and instead of tree pose, there was warrior three! I'm sure I'll be feeling this practice tomorrow!
I decided to go for it and do a short run. I utilized the run/walk method again. I was tired today, so I wasn't so much flying, but it was a good run! Then I headed to work, for a much better day than yesterday. I definitely felt more confident!
It's been a seven day yoga streak and a four day run streak! Tomorrow I have a longer day at work, so I'll have to see how I feel afterwards. It's going to be a busy weekend, with work and then Ciclavia on Sunday – going to do my best to stick to my workout streaks, but also be open to life happening!

MILWAUKEE — The Mets have become something of a home for former All-Stars in the twilight of their careers these days. They picked up veteran All-Star shortstop Jose Reyes in 2016, first baseman Adrian Gonzalez this winter and added former All-Star outfielder Jose Bautista to the mix this week.
But a team source said that it would be "unlikely" they would try to add first baseman Hanley Ramirez to their roster.
Ramirez was designated for assignment Friday by the Red Sox. They are unlikely to find a trade partner, so Ramirez will probably become a free agent in seven days. He would seemingly fit into the Mets' recent MO: taking financial advantage of paying veterans major league minimums while their former clubs pay off the big contracts.
The Mets have Wilmer Flores as a utility infielder already when their roster is healthy. Flores is a younger, more versatile option than Ramirez with comparable numbers against left-handed hitters.
Kevin Plawecki caught seven innings in a rehab game Thursday night. The catcher was 2-for-6 with a homer and two RBI in two rehab games entering Friday. When he returns from the disabled list at some point soon, however, his job as the everyday catcher will have changed.
Devin Mesoraco has taken over the duties of the starting catcher and it isn't likely to change anytime soon.
"We'll have to see," Mets manager Mickey Callaway said of the playing-time split when Plawecki returns. "The thing we're going to have to keep in mind with Plawecki is he won't be that built up when he comes back.
"He'll be built up enough to probably catch every two or three days at most to start. I think it wouldn't be too different than what is going on now until he's got his legs underneath him a bit more."
The Mets picked up Mesoraco while Plawecki was on the DL with a hairline fracture of a bone in his left hand. In his first 11 games with the Mets, Mesoraco had scored eight times, driven in six runs, hit three homers and had a .514 slugging percentage. With Mesoraco behind the plate, the Mets staff had a 1.98 ERA entering Friday.
"He's definitely prepared, probably leads to a very well-called game. One thing I noticed is he is very emphatic when he is giving his target, he's guiding the pitcher," Callaway said. ".Whether it's emphasizing get the ball down or up. He's giving you that visual cue right before you throw the ball that is really big for a pitcher. … He really emphasizes where he wants the ball, so the pitcher is not guessing. If you just call a fastball in, set up in, with the target the same height all the time, you don't know your catcher wants it up and in or you want it back foot. He does a really good job of things like that."
The Brewers finally got Brandon Nimmo out in the first inning of Friday night's game after he reached base in eight straight plate appearances. The outfielder went into Friday night's game leading all major leaguers with a .450 on-base percentage.
It's a quality that Callaway said he wants to keep atop his lineup.
"I think it's hard to overlook that quality that he has taken pitches working deep counts, either walking or putting the ball in play pretty hard. I think he's a guy that probably needs to be in the leadoff spot when he is in the lineup," Callaway said.
He'd like to see that even when Yoenis Cespedes comes back off the disabled list. When asked how he would shuffle his lineup to accommodate Nimmo in the lineup regularly, Callaway shrugged.
"Just keep him in the lineup," Callaway said.
The Mets could use him to spell Cespedes, on the DL with a right quad issue, Michael Conforto and Jay Bruce. They could also use Bruce, whose bat is struggling, at first base.
Cespedes began his running "progression," on Friday. The slugger ran a little and played catch on the field before Friday's game. He has been hitting consistently. Todd Frazier (left hamstring strain) took grounders again on Friday. They are expected to travel to Atlanta with the team and no timetable for a rehab game has yet been set, Callaway said.
"I mean it's really day to day," Callaway said. "We'll see how they feel, but yeah, if we won't get them out of here, if we don't feel like they're ready to go, they'll continue that running progression in Atlanta."

Today I have a call about a job in sunny Florida. Wish me luck. I have my wishbone necklace and my horseshoe earrings on (not the Tiffany ones above, but it would be a nice gift!). I was hoping they would give me a little luck for the day.
It's been a stressful last few months. The realization of moving has hit me and I am ready. Now I will be honest, I'm getting impatient and I'm ready to go. The job search is not easy. The events business in Southern Florida is not booming because of the economy. Well I guess it is not just Southern Florida but everywhere. However, I know I will find a job that will excite me, inspire me and get me to Florida. The opportunity today is a great one and I hope it works out.
There has been a huge pit in my stomach since I woke up this morning about what the right thing to do is. I think this is the right thing. It is truly how I feel and I am ready. Wish me luck!

The ways foreigners are described or classified have a direct link to how they are treated or accommodated in a host country. The terms used to describe foreigners have a direct impact on not only how fellow foreigners see themselves, but also how local populations interact with foreign nationals living amongst them.
How should people who aren't "natives" of a particular country be classified? This question has taken on more of a forefront position in the collective thinking of many nations that once welcomed foreign nationals but today feel that they are more of a burden on their nation than contributors to the development of their nation.
In this short episode, we go very deep into finding out how the terms expatriate, immigrant, emigrant and migrant are used to describe people who aren't "natives" of the country they reside in. We present some blunt points to show how some of these terms are related in history as well as how these terms are used in modern-times.

6 traits customers look for in a homebuilder
When it comes to hiring a building contractor, customers want to feel confident they have picked the right one … after all, they are about to entrust the builder with their home. They want to choose someone who is dependable, affordable and effective at making their dream home renovation or build out a reality. So, what traits are customers looking for? Here are six that customers look for when hiring a home builder or remodeling contractor. These can serve as a great reminder of how to be the best builder you can be for your customers!
Proven Experience
Customers want to choose a home builder who has proven experience. This includes displaying confidence about the home building process and providing potential clients with accurate information about costs, how long the process will take and past experiences. Home builders can incorporate testimonials and pictures from past builds on their website and in marketing materials to help customers see how much experience they have.
Communication Skills
Communication skills are important when it comes to hiring the right home builder. Clients want to feel confident they will be informed throughout the building process. And to make it easier on you as the builder, using remodeling project management software can help to automate some of these communications by reminding you to provide regular status updates and to send out client emails.
In any industry, people want to work with companies and professionals who display honesty. They don't want to be lied to or feel taken advantage of. For home builders, honesty becomes even more important, as home builders work in client's personal homes. It's important home builders are able to make customers feel safe about working with them.
Insurance Coverage and Licenses
Perhaps it isn't so much a personality trait as it is a fact of business, but customers want to choose home builders who have adequate insurance coverage and are properly licensed. Instead of having to wait for potential customers to ask to see this information, it can be advantageous to proactively provide this information. You can list important legal information and licenses on your company's website or even on your business card to make it easier for customers to see it!
Price Transparency
When it comes to prices, customers most often want a home builder who offers price transparency. No one wants to start a large project only to discover there are unexpected costs to pay. While sometimes surprises happen, other times the unexpected costs could have been avoided with proper planning. Using an effective home builder software to create bids and project quotes, it is easy to remember all possible line items to include in the quote by reviewing past projects. This way you have a better chance of coming in under budget.
Customers prefer home builders who will stand behind their work in the event that something goes wrong. Often, this is in the form of a warranty or a guarantee of service. If possible, offering a guarantee or a warranty on your work can make customers feel better about working with your company in the first place.

Last Sunday, I decided to make a sort of stream-of-consciousness doodle, meaning that I just sat down and doodled without really thinking about what I was making. I was just trying to fill the page. This is what I came up with. Kinda weird. Kinda cool.
Monthly Archives: October 2012
Day 294: Stuffed Squash with Barley, Apples and Walnuts
Last Saturday, I made stuffed squash with barley, apples, and walnuts, which Jim and I ate along with some delicious brussels sprouts. I used this recipe from relish.com for the squash. I highly recommend it!
Day 293: Hand Turkey
Day 292: Hands
I think this has been one of my favorite projects so far. I love the results and think it's funny that it is sort of like a grown up hand turkey.
Here's how I made this:
- Used a medium sharpie to trace my hand multiple times onto a white piece of paper. Then I scanned in the image.
- Opened the jpeg image in Inkscape, a free piece of software that is somewhat similar to Illustrator.
- Traced the image by going to Path > Trace Bitmap. I used the brightness threshold set to the default.
- Then I deleted the original jpeg. To do this, you can just move over the traced outlines image and delete what's underneath.
- Created three layers by going to "View" in the top menu and selecting "Layers". Then I hit the plus button and made three layers.
- Moved the outlines onto the middle layer. You can just cut and paste to do this.
- Created the background by tearing up pieces of newspaper and taping them back onto a 8.5″ by 11″ piece of paper. Then I scanned in the newspaper collage.
- Opened the newspaper collage image in Inkscape, copied it, and pasted it as the bottom layer under the outlines.
- Finally, I used the paint bucket to fill in different areas with color on the top layer. I had the paint opacity set to around 50% for the color, which you set in the "Fill and Stroke" menu.
- You won't be able to fill in some of the areas with color because they won't be "bounded," but others should work. This project is easy enough that it's worth it to go with the flow. It will look good no matter what.
And that's it. If you make one of these, let me know! I'd love to see how it turned out!
Day 291: Watercolor Practice
Day 290: Chickens in Space
Day 289: Tree at Night
A tree at night. I feel somehow like dark trees and streetlights are becoming a theme for me. I wonder why? My only real guess is that, as a child, we used to have a maple tree out in front of our house and, since I lived in the city, a nearby streetlight was always shining down on it. I remember spending time just sitting in our living room and staring at that tree, all orangey and warmly lit. It seemed so strong to me. So beautiful.
Day 288: Group-Made Mandala
Last Sunday, my roommate hosted a craft night, which happily turned into a bit of a party! As my way to take part in the crafting, I spur of the moment decided to tape a giant piece of paper to the kitchen floor, put out some crayons, and asked people to work together to create an artwork. Turns out that the 10 people that worked together with me on this were rather artistic and made a lovely piece that, according to Jim, sort of looks like a mandala.
Definitely a very exciting follow-up to the group art project a coordinated the previous weekend.

*Stephen Holbrook - clairvoyant, or not?
Stephen Holbrook describes himself as a "clairvoyant".
UPDATE, 19 Mar: ASA reply "Thank you for contacting the Advertising Standards Authority. We have viewed the advertisement you refer to and considered the issue you raise in terms of the CAP (Non-broadcast) Advertising Code but there do not appear to be grounds for formal investigation on this occasion.
We note that the ad does not include any specific claims of success or guarantees of the service which might constitute a breach of the Code. The ad is stating what the advertiser is offering, and there do not appear to be claims, or guarantees of success, which we would expect the advertiser to be able to substantiate. Whilst we appreciate that the show being advertised will not appeal to all who see it, we do not consider that further action on the points you raise would be justified on this occasion, or that the specific content of the ad is likely to detrimentally mislead those who see it." (Letter)
If you're quick, you can buy a ticket to see Stephen at the Tilsworth Golf Centre in Leighton Buzzard. (You can see an advert for it here.)
I won't be there, but I would still like to know if he can provide documentary evidence of his claim. The usual ASA complaint follows.
"I write to complain about an advert published in the Luton Herald and Post on Thursday, February 25th, 2010.
The advert, for Premier Newspapers Evening Events, is entitled "An Evening of Clairvoyance with Stephen Holbrook".
I have submitted a scan of the advert. I can provide an original copy of the advert by post, if required.
I suspect that the advert is in breach of one section of the British Code of Advertising, Sales Promotion and Direct Marketing (CAP) code.
1. The Herald and Post is a free newspaper distributed weekly in Luton, in South Bedfordshire.
2. The Thursday, February 25th, 2010 issue (page 58) carried an advert entitled "An Evening of Clairvoyance with Stephen Holbrook". The advert promoted two events, one in Leighton Buzzard (Bedfordshire), the other in Aylesbury (Buckinhamshire).
3. The CAP Code, Section 3.1, states "Before distributing or submitting a marketing communication for publication, marketers must hold documentary evidence to prove all claims, whether direct or implied, that are capable of objective substantiation."
4. Given that the advert makes no mention of "magic", "illusions" or "for entertainment", I challenge whether the advertiser holds documentary evidence for the claim that Stephen Holbrook is a clairvoyant.
5. Given that the advert makes no mention of "magic", "illusions" or "for entertainment", I challenge whether the advertiser holds documentary evidence for the claim that Sandy Ingham is a medium, or the she has psychic abilities.
6. I confirm that I have no connections with the advertiser, the Herald and Post, or with the publishing industry in general. I confirm that I am not involved in legal proceedings with the advertiser or the Herald and Post.
7. I confirm that I am happy to be identified as the complainant."

Well done! I have challenged Holbrook personally to a controlled test of his abilities,he has yet to accept! Only been 5 years.ReplyDelete
I wonder could file a complaint after one of his shows somehow?

I have been to see Stephen Holbrook twice. On the second occassion he gave me intimate details that only I knew about my mother's death two years prior. I was totally convinced and normally are sceptical.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous16 November 2011 at 19:20
I have been to his show recently actually despite the fact that he prob talked for twenty mins about himself and previous experiences he had had with other shows. I found it slightly annoying as it ate into the time you paid hoping he would eventually pass by you and give you some information. But saying this, I might be slightly disapointed that I never had a reading or came close to it in his last show. Or he could just be trying to give people an idea of what to expect! I was open minded at his show but found somethings were spot on with people as they seemed very shocked or as with many things he said could have been generic. I sat and listened and thought that could what was said apply to me or many other people but I suppose grief I.E shock,anger and desperation makes everyone feel almost the same. I am neither for or against him I prefer to sit onthe fence and think until he perhaps gave/gives me a reading il never know how true he is. I would know if it was my relative, I think and wouldnt be afraid to say no. But whatever it was it was good entertainment an yes if it isnt real people sign up for it go to his shows and make a judgement based on what they experience. know ones forcing them to go, and if he makes up messages from the great beyond and causes someone's happiness then perhaps its worth it. I went for hope that my parents were ok and came back with neither hope or understanding, yes was disapointed that I didnt experience anything personally but If I thought about it I think the entertainment value was worth it.ReplyDelete
I recently went to see Stephen with my husband and daughter, having very recently lost both my parents. All 3 of us sitting back listening to a contact Stephen appeared to have made with first my father, , yes he first said that someone had celebrated a birthday and of course that could have extended to a vast majority of people, and that dad wanted to tell my daughter that he loved her and was sorry for the things he had said - all generic but then came to me and said I had lost my mum - I was very careful and said yes he said to me you havent even had the funeral yet - I said no not yet she died last week and the funeral is next week, he then asked me who is Anne - I said thats my mum - this has happened again on monday night at my local spiritual church but they didnt get mums name - could be guesswork but I wouldnt mind the lottery numbers of them if it was - I feel at peace with the full message that Stephen and a minister at the church gave me. I paid my money to see Stephen and it was free at the church - well a £1 donation - make your own assumptions on what happened to me - thats whats called free will - peace and light xxxReplyDelete

Regarding the ASA how can Metodist churches and the like get away withReplyDelete
JESUS LIVES posters?
Perhaps someone by the name of 'Jesus' does live and he's the local pub landlord?
Hi Anonymous,ReplyDelete
The golden rule for advertising regulation is whether the advert is misleading, or not.
I think the regulators, sensibly, would take the view that no-one would be materially misled by a statement like "Jesus Saves" - we already know that Christians profess faith, which is not the same as a fact.
A statement like "Jesus cures cancer!" or one along the lines of "Darn, you atheists are stoopid!" - well, that would be a different matter.
Unsubstantiated health claims aren't allowed (even if Jesus is the physician performing them) and neither are statements whose principle purpose is to offend.
- Anonymous15 November 2012 at 12:29
I too wrote to the ASA questioning the fact that Steve Holbrooks poster made no reference to the fact that his show was for entertainment only and that he made supernatural(and so unsubstantiated) claims of spiritualism. The ASA reply was pretty much as yours. Unfortunately, as we all know, there are millions of gullible income providers for these charlatans. Keep up the good work though
he says in the group demonstration its for entertainment purposes only- they have to for trading standards. i though he was fantastic, theres no way he could have known the things he had said to me, and unless you have had a reading from him, you cant comment as its not fair on him. i will say he told me my grandmas birthday was 5th oct then he changed it to the 4th, (it is the 4th) and as he changed it he said, your great grandad says sorry, he always did get the date wrong. so i went and told my grandma what he said practically word for word and the shock on her face was amazing, she said yes he always got my birth date wrong! THAT was just a little snippet of what he said to me. i whole-heartedly believe he is a clairvoyant. if you dont believe it then its up to you but dont drag his name through the mud. i dont see you saying christians, catholics, muslims etc are liars and shouldnt promote their religion because they cant prove their god exsisted. as far as im aware its just based on a book full of chinese whispers and rumours... each to their own and all that, eh.ReplyDelete
Hi fiona,ReplyDelete
Actually, I have seen Holbrook in action. Everything he does in his show can easily be replicated with standard magician's tricks; in this internet age it's easy to find out how they're done.
By the way, if you want to read what I've written about Christians and Muslims, you might start here!
- Anonymous28 June 2013 at 16:22
Having been to many events for Steven I find it a little amusing that people would go to this much trouble, if you don't agree or believe don't go to see him but who are you to pass judgement on people who do pay for a ticket as if they are too simple to make that decision for themselves or are vulnerable idiots that are being preyed on!ReplyDelete
My friend lost her young daughter and has had two messages from Steven's events with specific details of what she did when saying goodbye when it was just her in the room and not wooly rubbish actual specific details, she gained tremendous comfort from this, he even knew i had been willing her to come through the second time and what i had said to her alone in my house word for word. I would consider myself an on the fence person with an open mind, but if you do not believe and think its all rubbish........don't buy a ticket for an event and get on with your own life .....
His ads now have "for entertainment purposes only" I'm looking at The Manchester Evening News as i type. I have no opinion on whether it is true or tripe.ReplyDelete

Thursday of the 21st Week in Ordinary Time - Matthew 24:42-51
"Stay awake!" These are Jesus' words to us today. He tells us that we do not know the day or the time when the Lord will come to us. Thus, each and every moment we must be awake and watchful. This may sound impossible to do. However, I think of parents who have young children; I assume their radar is always attuned to where their children are and what they are doing. It becomes second nature. I assume that each one us of us also have our radar attuned to the individuals in our lives who are significant to us.
Today Jesus desires that we also have our radar scanning for His coming and His presence. The reality is we do not know when, how or through whom Jesus may come to us or be present to us. However, staying awake and alert every moment is not easy. Perhaps though, we can enhance our radar system to be more closely attuned to Jesus' vibes, to His presence with us. If we truly desire to be attentive to Jesus' presence throughout our day, we can train ourselves to do so just as first-time parents attune themselves to the presence of a new baby. Today, attune the ear of your heart to Jesus' presence with you! Jesus will not disappoint you!

What is Happening in our School!?!
What Is All This Talk About Mindfulness in Our Schools?
My kids started school last week and I was thrilled that there is a morning meeting everyday that focuses on mindfulness and sometimes includes meditation. I was so excited to hear this from my kids.
But what is mindfulness and why is it so important to our kids (and even adults too)
Mindfulness is the act of being present in a moment of time without judgement. Sounds easy, right? Actually this can be extremely hard to do, especially for those of us who hold onto the past, are always thinking about the future, or don't know how to handle our emotions.
And don't get me wrong, I still believe that our children need to have responsibility, activities, and expectations but we also, as parents and educators, need to realize when it is becoming toxic.
Something recently happened in our home-
We recently purchased a new home and I have a formal living room with not a lot of furniture to put in it. I decided early on that I wanted to make is more like a library with some reading chairs….well we have one chair, so the room is far from finished. My son began sitting in our chair when he wanted to read alone without interruption from his sister. I loved it. And then all of sudden the other day he was feeling some emotions that he couldn't quite handle and said he was going to the quiet corner and he went and sat in that chair. He needed a break, had to take a breath, and calm himself down. I was amazed. He felt safe, understood his feelings needed to be addressed, and reacted in such an amazing way. He now calls that chair the quiet corner and so does his sister. And when they need a break, want to read, or just think….that is where they go.
Mindfulness can have some amazing benefits including things like improved immune system, memory, attentiveness, sleep, and even calm behavior but how do you get started?
Some easy ways to become mindful-
• Start a breathing exercise- on of my favorites is Dr Weil's 4-7-8 breathing technique but even just start with some deep breathes
• Mindful eating-paying attention to your food by using all of you senses. This causes you to slow down and pay attention
• Go for a walk and just listen to the sounds of nature. Be present and be aware
What is your favorite way to live a more mindful life?

University of Louisville art therapy major Jessica Stigler, 23, looks forward to her weekly girls' night to discuss her favorite TV series, Girls.
"Lena Dunham is a total trendsetter," says Stigler. "She's really captured like, the voice of our generation. I don't know, she just, like, gets being a girl."
Stigler says she and her friends have been "obsessed" with the show since its inception.
"I think it's like, pretty clear that I'm the 'Hannah' of the group," said Stigler. "I'm definitely a little quirky and pretty OCD. I like being reminded of my Hannah traits."
Stigler says that she enjoys writing poetry in her spare time and that the show's creator, Lena Dunham, has inspired her to write a blog.
"It's going to be about what I've learned as like, a woman in the art world," said Stigler. "Being a feminist is what the show is all about, and I enjoy creating situations where I can accuse men of being sexist. It's really empowering."
Stigler's friend Alexis Johnson, 22, says she's tired of being called 'Marnie.'
"We get it, she loves Girls, but I'm like, so sick of hearing about the show, personally. The characters are all really annoying and literally so selfish. Jessica is always saying that that's the point of the show or whatever, but I like, don't care. I'm so over it. Also, Marnie is literally the worst. Her eyebrows are super big and gross and I hate looking at her droopy, horse shaped face. Plus, she wore boot-cut jeans in this one episode. I have definitely not worn boot-cut jeans since middle school."
Stigler's other friends, Bethany and Leah, have similar opinions.
"I made the mistake of comparing Jessica to Hannah one night. Now, all she does is whine all day and talk about being a writer," says friend, Bethany Sims, "I swear to God, Jessica Snap Chatted me a selfie with a glass of white wine the other night with the caption 'Its a wednesday nite baby and I'm alive'. I immediately unfollowed her on Instagram."
Stiglers friend Leah, who is "literally, actually Shosh" according to Stigler, nodded in agreement before adding, "I stopped watching during, like, season two or something. When Hannah stuck that Q-Tip in her ear or whatever, I was like, 'Bye.' Season three ended, like, months ago, so she's been re-watching, like, the entire series to see if she's missed anything. So far I'm thinking the only thing she's missed is that none of us, like, give a shit."
Stigler's friends are hoping that they can convince her to watch Biggest Loser or Game of Thrones by her second basil gimlet tonight.

Elder Patriot – KHOU11 in Houston has reported that 30-year-old Kino Jimenez has been charged with a state felony count for Theft of Person.
Jimenez, you'll recall, had become the subject of a nationwide viral video after ripping a MAGA hat from the head of a young Trump supporter and then dousing him with a soft drink when the victim began video recording Kino's outrageous actions.
"You ain't supporting s—, n—-!" a man identified as Jimenez is heard saying on camera after tossing a large drink in the direction of the teen filming the video. He then walks away with the hat while muttering "b—- a– motherf——."
Once the video went viral, investigators identified Jimenez and arrested him at his home on July 6 on a warrant for theft of person. He was booked and released later that day on $5,000 bond.
Jimenez was also fired by his employer.
Now Jimenez's problems just got worse.
A Texas grand jury has indicted Kino Jimenez on a charge of theft of person that, if convicted, carries with it jail time.
Jimenez' arraignment is scheduled for Friday. His trial has been scheduled for Oct. 19.
Consistent with President Trump's ongoing fight in defense of the little guy, the president's son Don Jr. stepping in and offered his help:
And, then:
Imagine that, a president who takes the time to help the little guy.

Vanilla, chocolate, or something else entirely?
I don't know how many words I can write about this, but I'll give it a try. It may be a very short post, but don't blame me. Blame Word Press for a dumb prompt.
What ice-cream flavor is my favorite? Chocolate, but not just any chocolate. It has to be dark chocolate, preferably with dark chocolate chips laced throughout it. I am a self-confessed chocoholic. The richer and denser and more bitter the chocolate, the more I love it.
Milk chocolate is an anathema to me. It is disgusting. It isn't real chocolate. It is chocolate for wimps and small children.
Dark chocolate is for true lovers of chocolate. It is good for you. The higher the cocoa content, the higher the anti-oxidants in the chocolate, and that is good for you. The higher the cocoa content, the richer the taste of the chocolate, the true taste of chocolate. The cocoa content should be 70% of the chocolate or higher for the true taste of the chocolate to come through. Chocolate also helps lift your mood. It's a fact. Look it up.
That's why I only like dark chocolate ice-cream, or as it is sometimes called, Belgian chocolate ice cream. Sometimes it has pieces of dark chocolate imbedded in it, sometimes not. But that's not the important part. The important part is that it is DARK chocolate ice-cream, not just chocolate. These also means that it is hard, hand-dipped ice-cream, not soft-serve ice-cream which I don't really count as ice-cream anyway.
I've said about all I can say about dark chocolate ice-cream. If you've never had some because you've been afraid of it, grow up and try some.

The 38th Kingswood (Christchurch Hanham) Brownie unit provides activities and trips for girls aged seven to 11.
It is run by Jean Tovey with support from Sally Smith.
Jean said: "We have 26 Brownies. We're just managing with a unit helper and me. We do have a young leader but she doesn't start her training until September.The two leaders who have left have been doing it for years but have stepped down because of family commitments so we really could do with a couple more qualified leaders or people who would be willing to undergo training."
The Brownies meet on Monday evenings at Christchurch Church Hall in Church Road, Hanham, from 6.30-8pm.
They take part in craft activities, work towards badges and go on trips and visits.
Jean, who lives in Willsbridge and has been a Brownie Guide leader at the 38th Kingswood (Christchurch Hanham) Brownie unit for 25 years, said the group would really benefit from young and dynamic leadership.
"We would love a qualified leader but even someone who is willing to train would be great.
"If no one comes forward Sally and I will try to keep things going for the moment but it might mean things are a bit limited. "

Fashion is changeable, and design sphere isn't exception, therefore every year fashion prepares for us a lot of surprises.
Modern interior design 2020 has the widest range of possible options, and we will try to understand these trends in order to find something that will please both you and your loved ones.
Modern interior design 2020: stylish ideas and colors
In modern interior design 2020, we will have to get rid of all details of interior, which don't carry any functional load. Use furniture and things to decorate rooms, which give nostalgia for vintage style.
Don't confuse vintage direction with retro 50's, which was popular a couple of years ago.
At peak of popularity of interior design trends 2020 will be turquoise color and one of its shades: turquoise-mint. From point of view of psychology, it facilitates suffering, promotes pacification.
Also, curtains in bedroom or living room, upholstery of soft sofa or small rug with geometric patterns will give any room home coziness.
Another novelty of the season will be an unusual color called honeysuckle. It is on verge of classic blue and its darker options. Magnificently and richly looks furniture with velvet upholstery honeysuckle color.
Two more color trends, which never left pedestal: marsala and mustard. Moreover, stylish kitchen, walls of which are decorated in mustard tones with notes of bright splashes, will stimulate appetite and lure your home with its setting for long evening tea parties.
Bathroom in bright colors of marsala with addition of neutral tones will be original design decision. Gold and shades of bright yellow also return to fashion.
Modern interior design 2020: trendy materials and furniture
In modern interior design 2020, emphasis should be on luxury, and luxury doesn't allow imitation or fakes.
Accordingly, you should choose only expensive and high-quality materials: natural wood, metal, marble, granite, agate, leather, linen, cotton, silk for finishing.
Thus, fashion fabrics will return to fashion, which at one time gave way to universal and more convenient washable items.
Modern trend dictates basic law: simplicity of forms should be compensated by luxury of furnish.
Even the most expensive materials in excess will create effect of posturing. However, furniture reflects commitment to simple geometry: only clear lines. Sofas and beds are chosen by classical forms without use of excessive creativity.
In large studios, you can play with space, zoning it with racks or monophonic, strict screens. In-country cottages, redevelop and replace traditional windows, to the French floor.
Luminous devices in large quantities will also be relevant. For small one-bedroom apartments it is more a necessity than a trend of fashion. Abundance of glass and metal surfaces that will reflect light in themselves is ideal. Effectively look mirrors, glazed racks, collages on walls or glossy stretch ceiling.
Modern interior design 2020: trendy styles
Let's highlight two most popular styles of modern interior design 2020. Hi-tech refers to relatively young styles and developed in parallel with surge of technological revolution.
Also, hi-tech loves abundance of metal, glass, and plastic.
One of the important nuances will be rejection of plastic classics of direction in favor of the other two materials. Hi-tech doesn't tolerate brightness and lustiness. It is simple in detail and gives preference to modern household appliances.
Minimalism is a style that was born in Japan and came to us only at the end of the last century. His credo is only functionality. Give preference to pastel tones.
Thus, game is possible on contrast of black and white, famous yin and yang, which can't exist without each other.
Scandinavian style fully reflects the Nordic character. For decoration of room, use only cold shades of gray, white, and blue. You can allow small liberties in form of animal skins on floor, wooden panels or abstract collages on walls.
They emphasize the natural savagery of atmosphere.
Thus, this style is ideal for decorating bachelor apartments for single men.

15 things other nations love about Canada
A lot of foreigners are truly amazed when they discover just how large Canada is. "I'm coming to Toronto for a week in December—I'll have time to see the Rockies, right?" is a question that actually gets asked. With 10 provinces and three territories, Canada is not only the second largest country by land mass, but it also features a wicked amount untouched nature. Canada is home to the most lakes in the world, which is 20 percent of the earth's freshwater resources. Likewise, more than half of Canada is covered in trees, which amounts to about 10 percent of the world's forests.

Cinnamon-Swirl Pumpkin Rolls
These cinnamon-roll lookalikes are made with a golden, pumpkin-scented dough and lots of spice.
These cinnamon-roll lookalikes are made with a golden, pumpkin-scented dough and lots of spice.
To make the rolls: Mix and knead all of the dough ingredients together — by hand, mixer, or bread machine — until you've made a soft, fairly smooth dough.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover the bowl, and allow the dough to rise for 1 1/2 hours, until it's almost doubled in bulk.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly greased surface. Roll it into a 14" x 22" rectangle; the dough will be thin.
Mix the cinnamon filling and water. Spread a thin layer over the dough, leaving one short edge free of filling.
Sprinkle with crystallized ginger or dried fruit (or both), if desired.
Starting with the short end that's covered with filling, roll the dough into a log.
Cut the log into nine 1 1/2"-thick rolls.
Place the rolls into a lightly greased 9" x 9" pan that's at least 2" deep. Set aside, covered, to rise for 1 hour, or until the rolls look puffy.
Bake the rolls in a preheated 375°F oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until they're lightly browned and feel set. Remove them from the oven, and set them on a rack. Turn them out of the pan, and allow them to cool for about 15 minutes. Towards the end of the cooling time, make the glaze.
To make the glaze: Heat the butter and milk together till the butter melts. Whisk into the sugar.
Drizzle the warm rolls with the warm glaze. Sprinkle with chopped nuts, if desired.
For a glaze that stays white and remains on top of the rolls, rather than partially melting in, allow the rolls to cool completely before glazing.

Progressive candidate's run against Jim Sensenbrenner is no fool's errand
Some say I'm a fool for attempting to turn Waukesha County "blue" with my blogging and Drinking Liberally Waukesha. But the alternative is to sit around, wring my hands, and lament that things will never change. To me, that would be foolish. I'd rather aim high, take risks and lose than give up or settle right from the start. So would Dave Heaster, a progressive from Sussex who recently filed the paperwork necessary to run against Republican incumbent Jim Sensenbrenner this November. I met with Heaster on Thursday evening in downtown Waukesha to question his decision to run, his chances of winning, and his sanity.
"I don't have delusions that I am going to come in and win easily," Heaster told me, but he also said he would not have entered the race if he didn't think he could win. He said his chances of defeating Sensenbrenner are greater at this moment in time, in light of recent laws passed by the Wisconsin GOP such as The Castle Doctrine, Concealed Carry, and the gutting of the Equal Pay Enforcement Act. Heaster said Wisconsin GOP legislators are "clinging to their ideology" and "the things they come up with are almost insane."
Conversely, the foundation of Dave Heaster's campaign platform is "logic and ethics" and he will continually refer to what makes sense, he insists. He wants to focus on transparency by using technology to bring constituents into the decision-making process. To Heaster, real representation means participatory democracy with actively engaged citizens.
Heaster was born and raised in Brookfield, Wisconsin in a "classically middle-class" family. His father sold insurance and his mother worked in the deli at Kohl's grocery store. She was a member of the Butcher's Union Local 33. Education is what turned him into a true progressive.
He's pro-collective bargaining rights, pro-worker, pro-environmental protections, pro-education, pro-science, pro-separation of church and state, pro-choice, and pro-equal rights for all.
He's also against overspending, living beyond our means, and he's worried about the debt. It's a stereotype that liberals don't care about debt, Heaster said."Republicans call us the tax and spend Democrats, but they are tax cut and spend…if you're a fiscal conservative, why would you give tax cuts and then start wars? It doesn't make any sense."
Democrats are not inherently anti-business, Heaster insists, "we can be very pro-business. If you're pro-business and for a strong economy, it doesn't mean you have to vote Republican." Government does need to be fiscally responsible, and some things about government do need to change, Heaster says, "but by the same token, we're a modern day society and modern day societies should have a certain amount of government, a certain amount of programs to help people. We don't want to live in the Wild West…that's not a way to run a country."
Heaster has a firm grasp on what he needs to do to win District 5: own the youth vote, talk with women and ask them if they're happy with their representation, and be wholly himself. He'll also make clear to older voters that he wants to protect Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare.
Still, Heaster realizes that many may find him unorthodox, that some voters might think he's "too casual." He's definitely the anti-Sensenbrenner, not a "dinosaur", very Gen X. I'm not sure how he'll be received by the larger public. But, as Heaster himself told me, "Now is the time to get up and do something…I'm going to run on what I believe and people will either buy into it or they won't."
Right on.
6 Responses to Progressive candidate's run against Jim Sensenbrenner is no fool's errand
Donna McElwee says:
I second your "Right on" for both you and Mr. Heaster.
Bette says:
You go for it, there are a lot of Republicans out there that can't identify with todays so called Republicans and their tea party friends. I can't imagine any woman voting for people who want vaginal probes, Personhood bills passed, repealed equal pay acts, so women have no recourse if they are discriminated against in the workplace, insurance not paying for birth control, or breast cancer checks, and to destroy Planned Parenthood and just saying no to everything that could help this country immensely, just to unseat a President. It is totally crazy and destructive. So more power to you, we need to get rid of Sensenbrenner, he has done nothing for years, but collect a paycheck.
PJ says:
Exciting! A challenger for Sensenbrenner! Can't wait to hear more of what Mr. Heaster has to say!
SuzyMetta4 says:
Very nicely written piece, Lisa, as always. I really feel like I understand Heaster's positions from this short article. Thank you.
Rich says:
As someone who has been redistricted into this district, I will vote for anybody on the ballet other than the old gas bag.
Valeris dontta says:
Gotta Love Jim Sensenbrenner he is so smart!

What Makes a Dresser Scandinavian Anyway?
With an emphasis on simple lines, minimalist details, and functionality, Scandinavian design was first popularized in the 1960s thanks to an exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum. Scandinavian furniture made its modern-day revival through the popularity of big, put-it-together-yourself furniture companies like IKEA. Those big retailers not only brought Scandinavian furniture back into popularity but made them more accessible to the general population due to the lower price tag.
Scandinavian dressers, in particular, are incredibly minimalist while making an attractive statement in your bedroom. The frames are sharp and square, and the drawers are large and offer plenty of space for all your garments. The drawer pulls are functional rather than decorative with many being cut into the dresser itself. While some dressers sit directly on the floor, others feature mid-century modern inspired legs for a bit of a decorative touch.
