Here are the latest news and updates on Oregon state and local tax.
New Pass-Through Business Alternative Income Tax
Signed by Oregon Governor in July of 2021, S.B 727 establishes an elective pass-through entity (PTE) business alternative income tax based on the PTE’s distributive proceeds. The newly established alternative PTE income tax, which is applicable to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2022 and before January 1, 2024, imposes a 9 percent tax on the first $250,000 of distributive proceeds and a 9.9 percent tax on any amount exceeding $250,000. If the alternative PTE income tax is elected by an eligible PTE, each individual would receive a corresponding refundable tax credit equal to the alternative PTE tax paid by the individual on the distributive share.
In order to qualify for the alternative PTE income tax election, all PTE members must be either individuals subject to the individual income tax or pass-through entities entirely owned by individuals subject to the individual income tax. Consent to the election must be given by all members of the electing PTE or by any officer, manager, or member of the electing PTE who is authorized to make the election on behalf of all members of the electing PTE. The election shall be made annually on or before the due date, including extensions, of the pass-through entity’s return, in the form and manner prescribed by the Department of Revenue.
Senate Bill 727 – Enacted July 19, 2021
Reduced Income Limits Eligible for Elective Reduced Personal Tax Rate
Also signed in July of 2021, S.B. 139 lowered the elective reduced personal income tax rate allowed for certain-pass through income to 7 percent (from 7.2 percent) for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2021. However, this reduced rate is only imposed on the pass-through income exceeding $250,000 but not exceeding $500,000. S.B. 139 modifies the tax brackets for income exceeding $500,000 but not exceeding $1,000,000. S.B.139 also clarifies the types of pass-through entities whose income is eligible for this election and imposes additional eligibility requirements.
Senate Bill 139 – Enacted July 19, 2021
Corporate Activity Tax for Unitary Groups
The Oregon Department of Revenue provided specific guidance directed towards taxpayers that meet the inclusion criteria for more than one unitary group for purposes of the Commercial Activity Tax (CAT). The Department clarified that taxpayers are required to file with the unitary group that reports the greatest amount of commercial activity in the state (after exclusions).
The guidance also clarifies information relating to the exclusion of intercompany receipts. Stating that the receipts between unitary groups members are only excluded if the members are part of the same unitary filing group.
Amended Oregon Administrative Order Section 150-317-1020
Federal Tax Year for Corporate Activity Tax
S.B. 164 enacted several modifying provisions to the state’s Corporate Activity Tax (CAT). The most noteworthy provision allows fiscal year taxpayers to use their federal tax year for CAT purposes. Previous to this enactment, all filers were required to use the calendar year for CAT purposes.
S.B. 164 modifies several other provisions relating to insurance companies, exemptions, and other definitions.
Senate Bill 164 – Enacted July 19, 2021

In this autumn and winter clothing, skiing is used as the main theme, and the topic related to themes is displayed with various down jackets or thick and bloated clothing. These clothing looks bulky, and it will also be fashionable. ?
绗 slot down jacket style
The style of the down jacket added with a seam design element appears in autumn and winter is a thin and common thing;
However, this time the slim down is not just the simple seams. From the open placket position, it also discovered the addition of fur element in the inside. The dual insurance of such down and fur will only make the winter warmer;
A texture contrast is formed between the smooth down appearance and the furry fur element, which enhances the visual impact. When wearing it, it appears in the form of a suit. Good warmth effect.
The relationship between wearing boots and seasons is not too big, but the style and material of the boots are closely related to the season. This relationship is like wearing bloated when the weather is hot. Some people may say “You are not sick” boots with hollow mesh.
Yes, what kind of clothing to wear and what kind of accessories do you need to wear;
Shoes are particularly important in the combination of autumn and winter, which will play a role in warmth, add warmth to the soles of the feet, and add a lot of points to the shape;
Choose the plush fabric on the boots. Whether it is boots or short boots, it will be very warm, and it will also respond to winter.
The short top is worn on the body, with some knitted texture texture, more different colors, add more color contrast, and feel more vitality among the patterns created; and in the matching of the matching; and in the matching, in the matching The outer knitted sweater jacket and other matching items not only formed contrasts in color, but also different in the texture of the fabric. These differences are finally displayed in a daily impact. Before you.
The color and purity of purple are not too high, with pale pink purple, dark -colored smog purple, which appear. These two purple purple are more versatile in many purple purple;
The large area of the purple color is used on the sluggish suite. Although it looks slightly bloated, the overall sense is stronger. In the seams, it will not bring a monotonous color of the color color.
The style of the ingredients of the slim down appears in the form of a jumpsuit. Among these conjoined clothes, a solid color single color is used, but the fabric is very smooth. On the smooth surface, it also brings more more. A sense of luster; this also reduces the dullness of dark tone, adds a high -level atmosphere;
In the downwear of the down, the seam pattern is still not ignored, but in this bloated clothing, the waist design of the waist is more conspicuous and eye -catching.
The combination of knitted tops and loose straight trousers. In this combination, the overall darkest color is the main color, and it will not cause too intense effects in color. It is a mature and stable low -key elegance;
The position of the top adopts some knitted design. In the slightly loose silhouette, it is combined with the low round neck to add a highlight to the solid color top. The more eye -catching position is the pants below It is extremely loose straight trousers. On the fabric, some folds appear throughout the vertical stripes, and some luster feels into it, making the contrast of the trousers and tops more prominent.
Match the elements of down jacket and fur;
Plel and fur have a good warmth effect in winter, and they are both fashionable, but the feeling of the two materials is completely different. The down of down is a bit casual, and the fur fabric will have some wildness, elegance and luxury Gorgeous beauty.
When combining the two together, a mix and match between different styles and temperament.

The brown color of different colors is the main, and there are some white or black, dark brown and other colors in clothing or matching. More.
When the down jacket and leather pants are matched, the tops and bottoms are shiny fabrics, but the smoothness of the surface of the two is still different from the gloss of reflection. The difference in texture is too conspicuous. ; The color is also consistent, but the most obvious difference between the jacket and the lower dress is the difference between the seams and smoothness.
Different fabrics or color stitching and matching can cause a certain degree of visual impact.
For example, on the khaki jacket, the light and dark khaki colors appear between the form of stitching, which also increases a lot of color contrast, and the contrast between the dark pants and the color of the color in the match is obvious. , More impact.

Section 179 Depreciation Extended for 2013
Section 179 has been extended for 2012 and 2013 tax years, meaning that you can retroactively file for 2012 for qualifying capital equipment purchases and receive higher deduction limits. Certain types of equipment qualify for a 5-year depreciation period, while others may not. If equipment isn’t considered “real property” (a permanent part of the structure), it can be classified as “tangible property” and depreciated under 179 for a five year period under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS).
Also, the following advantages extend to qualifying new 2013 equipment purchases: $500,000 deduction limit. $2,000,000 limit on capital purchases, and bonus depreciation of 50%. This means you can in essence deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment during this tax year.
Essentially, Section 179 tax code allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying products purchased during the tax year from your gross income. See Section179.org or the Govtrack.US web page for more information.
As always, your accountants and finance professionals should be involved in any decision regarding these issues.

The Facts on the Gardasil Vaccine
The following are the major points from a report on the Gardasil vaccine, the link for which can be found at the bottom of this post.
The efficacy of Gardasil in preventing cervical cancer has not been demonstrated and the marketing campaign has been misleading.
The efficacy of Gardasil remains unsubstantiated since the vaccine hasn’t been adequately tested on the primary age group
Currently, in the US, the death rate from cervical cancer is lower than the rate of reported serious adverse events, including death, from Gardasil
Cervical cancer is a rare disease in developed countries which invalidates the recommendations for universal immunization with any HPV vaccine
Most HPV infections are benign and resolve spontaneously without causing cervical cancer
Gardasil clinical trials, all conducted by the manufacturer, were inadequate and methodologically flawed
Gardasil contains sodium-borate (70 μg/mL) which, according to a 2005 listing at The National Library of Medicine (NLM) of the National Institutes of Health, is no longer commonly used in medicinal products due to its high toxicity 56. Symptoms of sodium borate poisoning include: collapse, seizures, coma, death, muscular spasms, dullness, lethargy, circulatory depression, central nervous system depression, kidney damage, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, low blood pressure
Gardasil contains polysorbate 80 (100 μg/mL), a non-ionic detergent suspected to cause sudden unconsciousness, arrythmias, chest pain, nausea, headaches, vomiting and diarrhea, dizziness, confusion, breathing irregularities, diminished resistance to infection and increased incidence of upper respiratory tract infections, in users of Darbepoetin Alfa, a drug which is also administered by injection
Professional medical association (PMAs) including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology, the Society for Gynecologic Oncologists, and the American College Health Association received funding from Merck in educational campaigns to promote vaccine use
SUMMARY: Clinical trials on Gardasil have been largely inadequate, the efficacy of the vaccine in preventing cervical cancer has not been demonstrated, the benefits of vaccination have been exaggerated and safety concerns downplayed, thus preventing parents from making informed decisions for their children. Routine immunization against cervical cancer with Gardasil is not supported by the current data. The benefit of vaccination is uncertain and the risks of serious adverse effects are substantial.

Dear members of the media:Last spring you or your news organization received an e-mail with the attached Duke Lacrosse Wanted Poster or an e-mail with the same text about "This horrific crime."Has Cpl. Addison, CrimeStoppers, the Durham Police Department or City of Durham officials apologized to the 46 exonerated Duke Lacrosse players? If so, I haven't heard them. One city council member suggested that Mike Nifong should resign, but who at city hall has asked for a review of faulty Durham police procedures that allowed 46 innocent young men to be vilified as gang rapists or witnesses to a gang rape in a Durham police poster?I've not seen any reports that anyone at city hall has asked why Durham Police officers e-mailed and posted an incendiary and outrageously false poster last spring (that included an official Durham police header) which read in part: "The victim was sodomized, raped, assaulted and robbed. This horrific crime sent shock waves throughout our community." (I've attached it and included it in the text below.)I'm still waiting for City Manager Patrick Baker's response to my request last year to make public the Durham police review, if any, of the DPD's Duke Lacrosse Wanted Poster. I've copied Mr. Baker and the members of city council with this e-mail hoping to finally get a reply.I work in Durham. I live in Durham. I'd like to see my city officials publicly apologize for what city employees did to these 46 students.By the way, it would be nice if the apology was sent to the same media outlets that received the original e-mail, including: Editor Que Pasa; Herald Sun; WRAL; G105; News and Observer; Saunders, Barry; Time Warner Cable; Triangle Tribune; UPN; WB22; WNCN; WRAL; WTVD; and WUNC.
For purposes of full disclosure, I represent one of the 43 players who was not charged.Thank you,Alex Charns

Indians over a certain age might remember "Giant Robot" (or "Giant Robo") with a degree of nostalgia. Back in the day when Doordarshan was the Hobson's choice of TV viewers, we were treated to some pretty exotic features such as this Japanese TV show which I believe was telecast at around 7:00 pm.
Giant Robot's powers include finger missiles, back missiles, eye beam, flame thrower, and more.
The live-action show was based on a manga by Yokoyama Mitsuteru. While the intro to the TV show appears to have been cut from both the above videos on YouTube, a rendition of the theme song can be heard here.

Kaiser Chiefs: This British band has a ton of great songs that I never really think to listen to but would be happy to hear on the radio: “Every Day I Love You Less And Less,” “I Predict A Riot,” “Ruby.” Like Franz Ferdinand or The Futureheads, I appreciated them in the moment but no longer grab these discs. Maybe I’ll be surprised by hearing them on SiriusXM someday, if I ever get SiriusXM. (Who needs SiriusXM when you’ve got all these CDs?) Purging two.
Kid Koala: Kid Koala is a turntable whiz with a ton of credits and a deep well of contributions to other artists’ work, from Deltron 3030 to Lovage to Gorillaz. He’s the guy you go to when three turntables aren’t enough. His records are like the lighthearted kid brother to DJ Shadow, which isn’t necessarily a huge endorsement, but I’m keeping Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, because it’s a lot of fun on a summer day. Keeping one, purging one.
The Kids Of Widney High: These kids—actually a rotating cast—are from a special-education high school in Los Angeles, and their songs are sweet, guileless antidotes to everyday stress. Which is perhaps why stressful bands like The Melvins and Mr. Bungle have asked them to open shows—Mike Patton’s record label even released a CD called Let’s Get Busy, which features the unstoppable “Pretty Girls.” (Kid Cudi sampled it just a few years ago.) But that’s probably the only song I really ever need to hear, so it’s purging two. Sorry, kids!
The Killers: So the critical consensus is that Sam’s Town is the unheralded Killers masterpiece, is that right? I’ve got it, but I never listen to it. In fact, I only ever listen to Hot Fuss, and even then it’s only the first half. (What a precipitous drop in quality about halfway through, no?) For some reason I’ve got a rarities compilation, too—maybe because it’s got their not-very-good Joy Division cover on it… Purging two, keeping one.
Kyle Kinane: I know I said earlier in this project that I was keeping most of the comedy, and I love Kyle Kinane, but I can Spotify these. I’m in a chopping mood. Sorry, Kyle, you’re still awesome. Purging two.
The Kingdom: Here’s a record that I loved—it’s called K1, released in 2006—but that seemed virtually invisible to the rest of the world. (I only knew of its existence because I was assigned to review it for SPIN.) It’s a concept album about a cross-country race, and Charles Westmoreland sounds at times like Roland Gift of Fine Young Cannibals, but somehow it worked really well. For me, at least. The song I’m embedding from YouTube has 16 plays. Keeping one, purging one.
Kingmaker: This British band barely rates a footnote, and I think my love for them was rooted in Anglophilia more than anything. (For a couple of years there, if it was on the cover of New Musical Express, I loved it.) Still, the snotty, brash Eat Yourself Whole sounds good to my ears from time to time, though it was clearly downhill from there. What will happen when I get to The Wonder Stuff? Keeping one, purging two.
Kings Of Leon: I have little/no idea why I own these. Purging two.
Kitchens Of Distinction: You could almost duplicate the above Kingmaker entry for this one… In fact, I saw those two bands on a double bill at the Metro in Chicago sometime in the ’90s. Kitchens Of Distinction—terrible name, yes—at least had the, um, distinction of being sonically swirly and for saying something lyrically. Singer Patrick Fitzgerald was (is, I suppose) openly gay, and that was at a time—not so damn long ago—when that wasn’t particularly common. Consider him a kindred spirit to Bob Mould, who was out, proud, and a purveyor of loud, atmospheric music around the same time. I think most fans prefer Love Is Hell, but I’m only keeping The Death Of Cool. Apparently the original lineup recently reunited after nearly 20 years apart, too. Keeping one, purging two.
Knapsack: Knapsack is pretty much the same as The Jealous Sound, though Knapsack came first. (Same singer, I wrote about ’em last week.) They put out three records, two of which I listen to on a regular basis and one of which I never do. This project is easy! Keeping two, purging one.
Kool Keith: Kool Keith has never matched his Dr. Octagon years for pure insanity, though he’s certainly tried. The handful of solo discs I own are mostly focused on sex—including the classic Sex Style. But they’re also pretty damn similar. I’m keeping the space-focused Black Elvis/Lost In Space, though it does serve as a terrible reminder that I never ordered a Black Elvis wig from the booklet when I had the chance. That album features my favorite opening line of all time (“This is the intro”), and Sex Style features an incredible chorus (“Keep it real, represent what? / My nuts.”) So it’s keeping two, purging two.
Mark Kozelek: This might seem surprising considering my general taste for molasses sadness, but I’ve never been a huge fan of Mark Kozelek, a.k.a. Red House Painters, a.k.a. Sun Kil Moon. But for some reason I have Kozelek’s covers album, The Finally LP. Maybe I kept it because it’s got a version of Low’s “Lazy” on it, but that’s no reason to hang on forever. Purging one.
Kraftwerk: It’s probably a credibility faux pas to only own Kraftwerk’s The Mix, a not-quite-greatest-hits set that features old tracks re-recorded—but not sounding all that different from their original versions. Still, it’s enough for the novice, though it doesn’t have “Tour De France,” a song I used to listen to obsessively as a 10-year-old. The rhythm track includes the sound of a bicyclist breathing! (That kinda blew my mind.) Keeping one.
Lali Puna: I remember almost nothing about this band or record (Faking The Books), except that it was vaguely pleasant electronic pop, released on a German label (Morr Music) that released a bunch of stuff kind of like it in the early ’00s. It’s pleasant enough, but I’m still purging one.
Kendrick Lamar: I’m not necessarily on the “Kendrick Lamar is a timeless genius” train (yet), but Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City is refreshingly old and new sounding. And now I find myself thinking I should get To Pimp A Butterfly on CD, but I need to stop that kind of thinking right this minute. Keeping one.
Lambchop: I own 10 Lambchop CDs. Ten! That’s enough witty, quiet, countryish weirdness to last me a couple of lifetimes. And as I sat trying to decide which one I will allow myself to keep—the classic How I Quit Smoking or the earlier, closer-to-my-heart I Hope You’re Sitting Down or that EP with “I Sucked My Boss’s Dick” on it—I had the revelation that I don’t need to keep any of them, even the chunky reissue of Nixon. They’re all good, but they’re all available. And it’s so nice to say that I’m purging 10. I will make up for this very shortly when I get to the band Low.
Mark Lanegan: The Screaming Trees singer has made a solid solo career out of smoky, gruff, slightly mellow songs, and though I liked Whiskey For The Holy Ghost plenty when it came out, it’s mostly a memory now. Purging one.
The La’s: The one and only La’s album (should that be La’s’ album?) sounds as fresh now as it did in 1990, which is to say not fresh at all. That’s not a knock, just an acknowledgement that it’s as throwback-y as they come. The band seemed like a huge deal in the early ’90s, mostly because singer-guitarist Lee Mavers was convinced that he was the greatest songwriter of his generation. Lucky for him, Sixpence None The Richer made a La’s song (should that be La’s’ song?) a worldwide hit in 1999, giving Mavers time to tinker with a second album… which never materialized. Still, this one gets some nostalgia play around here, and it’s nice to have a band’s complete discography on one disc. Keeping one.
LCD Soundsystem: As great as LCD’s live show was (is?), I don’t listen to the band’s records much, so I’ll hang on to Sound Of Silver but dump This Is Happening. I might’ve kept that one if “Drunk Girls” wasn’t on it. And yes, sometimes people tell me I look like James Murphy. I’m never sure how to take that. Keeping one, purging two.
Led Zeppelin: Another one that reminds me of being a kid—between my oldest sister and brother, we had the punk, dance, and classic-rock spectrums taken care of. I remember IV being played quite a bit—gotta have “Stairway To Heaven” somewhere in your life, I suppose—and being beguiled by the cover art of Presence. I got the fancy new reissues in the mail not that long ago, and I’ve already ditched that one and Coda. I’m gonna go even slimmer and just keep I through IV for the moment, plus the excellent BBC Sessions. Keeping five, purging two.
The Lemonheads: The Lemonheads made a lot of records, starting out as spunky punk kids before finding their way—after shedding everybody except frontman Evan Dando—to alt-pop perfection with 1992’s It’s A Shame About Ray. There are fantastic songs littered throughout the rest of the catalog, like “Stove” from Lovey and “Mallo Cup” from Lick, but not enough to keep around. I will hang on to Ray and the dark horse Car Button Cloth. Keeping two, purging four.
John Lennon: I’m keeping Double Fantasy for sentimental reasons, even though all the hits are also on Working Class Hero: The Definitive Lennon. Keeping two.
Ted Leo: I keep coming to artists that I own exactly the wrong CDs of—the ones I like least or the ones the world likes least. With Ted Leo, I think I’ve got it just right (for me, anyway) with Shake The Sheets and my favorite, Hearts Of Oak. I saw Ted a few times when he was first playing solo, and I remember it being kind of a mess—just him and a boom box, if I remember correctly. Now he’s a finely tuned political pop machine and purveyor of the first (and one of the best) A.V. Undercovers ever. Fun story: The day we recorded that, then CEO of The Onion Steve Hannah recognized Ted and said, “Teddy Leo? You lived down the block from us in New Jersey. I knew your mom.” Small world. Keeping two.
Les Savy Fav: Speaking of memorable Undercover episodes, Les Savy Fav was game enough to join us on a boat and sing “School’s Out.” It was an incredible day and reminds me that I love to see LSF live but almost never listen to the band’s records. Purging two.
Liars: These heady dance punks lost me after a couple of records, but They Threw Us All In A Trench And Stuck A Monument On Top still sounds bracing as hell 15 years later. But it never makes regular rotation, so it’s purging two.
The Libertines: How come every semi-big British band is going to save music forever, and then none of them do? The thing people will remember about The Libertines, I imagine, is a couple of decent songs (maybe) and singer Pete Doherty’s tabloid-reported substance issues. Purging one.
Lift To Experience: This is a comment from a YouTube video of Lift To Experience’s “Falling From Cloud 9,” which is a great song: “In a just world, LTE would have been headlining festivals, blowing people’s heads off and generally making the world a better place. This is the sort of music that I imagine U2 think they make.” I’m not sure that’s true, but there sure is a small group of people who freaked out about this short-lived Texas band. I was never quite there. Purging one.
Lil Wayne: If I’m going to listen to Lil Wayne, it’s going to be like the kids do, on YouTube. Purging one.
Longmont Potion Castle: This is not intended to be exaggeration: I think the single funniest comedian—if that’s the right word—working today is a prank caller from Colorado who’s never been entirely identified. He may be “Mike from Golden” when he calls into the occasional radio show, but he’s known on his releases as Longmont Potion Castle. The name makes no sense, but the calls kind of do. They have their own absurd rhythm, and the joke is less on the person being called than on the world in general. He’s an insistent customer calling Radio Shack for items that don’t exist. He’s the Robin Hood who gets a scam salesman on the phone for 10 minutes and teases him by pretending to be a buyer. He’s the guy who finds rednecks willing to pick a fight, and then threatens to put a “cleat upside your lip.” To say that I’m keeping three isn’t entirely correct, as I also have the Longbox Option Package box set on a different shelf. Yes, there are somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 discs of this stuff, and they’re all really, really funny.
Longwave: Blending the easiest parts of Interpol and Radiohead must have seemed like a good idea in the mid-’00s—I apparently liked this combo. But now it sounds pretty dull and dated. Purging two.
The Long Winters: The Long Winters were (maybe are?) a notable side player in Seattle’s pop scene: Singer-songwriter John Roderick recruited Death Cab For Cutie’s Chris Walla and Harvey Danger’s Sean Nelson for one of his band’s earliest incarnations. But TLW never seemed active enough to really break through, in spite of some solid songs. My favorite of theirs, “Cinnamon,” isn’t even on the disc that I own, so it’s purging one time.
Loomis: These Milwaukee friends o’ mine were part of the emo-for-lack-of-a-better-word scene that Milk Magazine was sorta associated with. In fact, it was my co-publisher, Jim, who sent Loomis’ demo tape to Grass Records and apparently got them signed. The result was one album and a lot of good memories (for me, anyway). Guitarist Chris Rosenau went on to Pele, Collections Of Colonies Of Bees, and Volcano Choir. Guitarist Dave Kawczynski is one of the angriest/funniest people I know, which has no bearing on the music, but now you know. Keeping one.
Loose Fur: Was Wilco a jam band before Wilco became a jam band? Maybe “jam” isn’t exactly the right word. This Jeff Tweedy-led project was a huge catalyst for the sound of Wilco’s breakthrough album, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot—you can view the self-titled Loose Fur album as the bridge between what Wilco was doing and what it would do. Loose Fur’s drummer, Glenn Kotche, became Wilco’s drummer, and musician-producer Jim O’Rourke, a member of Loose Fur, would continue to influence Wilco for years. And while I don’t listen to them very often, I know I can’t hear them on Spotify, because Drag City Records don’t play that. So I’m keeping two.
Los Campesinos!: These Welsh kids (well, kids at the time, I guess) were the most exciting thing to emerge in 2007, mixing loads of energy and verve with lots of clever words. Singer and chief songwriter Gareth Campesinos (they all share that last name, in a nod to every American emo band of the ’80s and ’90s) is funny, sharp, and very specific to the experience of being young and passionately in love with both music and other people. (See the B side of their first single, “It Started With A Mixx,” which is literally all about trying to make a mixtape for somebody.) They toured with Titus Andronicus in 2009, and whoever decided to put those bands on the road together deserves some kind of rock-tour prize—it was great. (I saw the show at the Logan Square Auditorium in Chicago; do they still do shows there?) That said, I’ve lost some interest as they’ve continued to release records, so I’m keeping three oldies and purging two.
Love And Rockets: I was embarrassingly obsessed with Love And Rockets in high school—far more into them than the band that birthed them, Bauhaus. I had an army jacket with a giant Love And Rockets logo painted on the back, along with a painting of a Bubbleman, which is a fairly obscure reference to a Love And Rockets side project. This was just before the band finally found an alternative radio hit in “So Alive” from its 1989 self-titled album. Strangely, I don’t own what was my favorite of the band’s—1986’s Express—on disc, just Earth, Sun, Moon and a hits compilation. And that should be plenty, really, so I’m keeping two. Fun story: I once camped out overnight for Love And Rockets tickets, to see them play in Milwaukee in 1989. We ended up in the second row, and the Pixies opened. Doolittle had come out about four months earlier. Guess which band was better? Trick question: Both were great.
Low: I may have the most complete Low collection in the world, and I’m fine with that. The band has been making consistently excellent, beautiful, and ever-changing music since 1993, amassing a huge, complex discography that miraculously barely repeats itself. That’s particularly strange considering that the band started with the idea of being incredibly slow and simple, with just guitar, bass, two voices, and the most minimal drum kit imaginable.
I first heard Low via an advance cassette of 1994’s I Could Live In Hope. My Milk Magazine partner, Jim, and I were immediately taken with the record; while the rest of the world was getting fairly loud—we were still grunging—that album made you move your whole body to the speakers in order to get closer. We published a review of the album and a short time later got an answering-machine message from singer-guitarist Alan Sparhawk, with a sweetly sincere thank-you. He was under the impression that no one would like his new band, I think, so it was a welcome surprise. But he and Mimi Parker—drummer/co-lead singer, and also Sparhawk’s wife—went on to make 11 albums (and counting) over the past 23 years. God, I feel old. They’ve gotten louder, softer, added electronics, added more acoustic elements… They’ve released scary songs (“Don’t Understand”) and sweet ones (“Venus”) but almost never dull ones. They’ve faced personal difficulties and written political songs. But they’re doing what a band that lasts this long should do: evolving and challenging themselves and their audience. Over the years, Milk promoted a ton of Low shows—I’ve probably seen them live more than any other band, except possibly The Promise Ring. The number has to be 50. It might be a lot more. And though I know for sure that I’ve fallen asleep at at least one Low show, it wasn’t because I was bored. I love them, and I’m keeping and cherishing 30, which includes a bunch of live and in-session bootlegs, and purging two, one of which is a remix EP.
Lucas & Friends: This curiosity came out on the defunct Vinyl Communications label sometime in the late ’90s, though it doesn’t feature any music: It’s a compilation of the weirdest things that a guy named Pea Hicks found on thrift-store cassettes, including a bunch of recordings from an incorrigible little shit named Lucas. (He reminds me of me as a kid, so I mean that in a positive way.) It’s a challenge to get through the whole thing, but it is an interesting artifact. Purging one.
Lullaby For The Working Class: Lullaby was the first big sign of life in the Omaha, Nebraska scene of the mid-’90s, releasing gentle, thoughtful records that burned bright but burned out pretty quick. They were clearly an influence on a young Conor Oberst, and Lullaby’s Mike Mogis went on to be a key member of Bright Eyes. While I always liked their records, I never really loved them the way they wanted (and maybe deserved) to be loved. Great live band, though, the few times I saw them way back when. Purging three.
Luna: I’ve loved Luna since I first heard the band’s debut, Lunapark, in 1992—before I was even terribly familiar with singer-songwriter Dean Wareham’s tenure in the semilegendary Galaxie 500. And while I listened to and enjoyed every new Luna record that came out since 1997’s Pup Tent, it’s only the first few that I return to, especially in CD form. I saw one of their reunion shows earlier this year, and I’m going to see another, so I’ve still got lots of love for their cooler-than-thou delivery and spacious songs, even though I’m purging five and keeping four.
Lungfish: I was lucky enough to see Lungfish play a couple of times in the ’90s, especially considering that the band’s legend was built mostly on live shows—its records are solidly hypnotic but never capture the band’s live energy. When you’ve got a frontman like Daniel Higgs, that’s no surprise: He’d get lost in his own weirdness, pushing his thoughtful lyrics out like they were little sentence demons. He’s gone on to become a fairly sought-after tattoo artist, making pictures that are as inscrutable as his words. He’s continued music, too, making varied records that aren’t nearly as accessible as Lungfish’s—like an album consisting of nothing but him playing a jaw harp. Purging three.
Jason Lytle: The main visionary behind Grandaddy has made some solo records, though none have ever grabbed me the way his band did. Purging one.
The tally: Sixty-six new purges in addition to the 419 I’ve already bid farewell, for a total of 485. So I’m almost halfway there, and not quite halfway through the alphabet. Success!
Peronal Hall Of Fame (the discs that I’ll take to the grave, maximum of one per artist): The Lemonheads, It’s A Shame About Ray; Longmont Potion Castle, III; Low, Secret Name; Luna, Bewitched.
Next up: A lot of Ms, naturally, and I get to the actual end of the first shelf. Hoo-ray.


The Ministry of National Defense (MND) is defending its decision to bestow a military decoration on a former director of the Armaments Bureau despite an explosion at a munitions depot that killed six people and severely injured two more.
On Oct. 28 last year, the bureau’s 204th Munitions Works in Yilan County’s Yuanshan Township (員山) was rocked by an explosion triggered by a flash grenade.
The media reported that then-bureau director Liu Fu-long (劉復龍), who was given two demerits for administrative negligence, was awarded the Order of Precious Tripod with Special Cravat after retiring from the military last month.
The award included more than NT$30,000, the report said, adding that the money might qualify for the 18 percent preferential interest rate benefit for retired civil servants’ pension accounts.
However, the ministry said the money would not qualify for the preferential interest rate based on the regulations for preferential deposits made from military personnel’s retirement pay.
The preferential rate has triggered widespread criticism and public discontent.
The ministry said in a press release on Monday that Liu retired from the military on March 1 after reaching the mandatory retirement age.
As for Liu’s administrative accountability for the explosion, he had been given two demerits as discipline, the ministry added.
“However, in view of his long-term dedication to the military, the ministry thereby awarded him the Order of Precious Tripod in accordance with the relevant regulations,” it said.
Meanwhile, the 204th Munitions Works has partially resumed operations and is set to apply for permission for a total resumption of operations next month.
Months after the accident, Deputy Minister of National Defense Chao Shih-chang (趙世璋) carried out an inspection of the production center to examine progress in operations at the explosive and pyrotechnic device manufacturing plant.
The 204th Munitions Works has resumed manufacturing of devices categorized as non-explosive or non-pyrotechnic, while production of explosive and pyrotechnic devices will resume in stages based on its repair and preparation conditions, a military source said.
Restoration of the arsenal is scheduled to be completed next month and the ministry will examine the site to determine if total resumption of manufacturing can be approved, the source said.

A survey released Monday found an overwhelming majority of Wisconsinites are worried about affording future healthcare costs, pointing to a growing healthcare affordability crisis in the state.
Community and labor coalition Citizen Action of Wisconsin released the results at a press conference Monday afternoon. The Wisconsin Consumer Healthcare Experience State Survey, conducted with the help of Altarum Healthcare Value Hub, found 81% of Wisconsinites worry they’ll be unable to afford an array of healthcare costs ranging from elder care expenses to treating serious, unforeseen illness.
The survey also found nearly three in five Wisconsinites experienced one or more healthcare affordability burdens in the past year.
While barriers such as getting time off from work, transportation and lack of child care contributed to health burdens, healthcare costs remained the most frequently-cited concern. Just over half of respondents reported skipping needed care or tests, delaying appointments or rationing medication.
“There [are] extreme affordability issues in Wisconsin,” said Executive Director of Citizen Action Robert Kraig. “Folks are avoiding care, people are facing financial challenges when they get care and people are having difficulty even navigating how much a particular procedure is going to cost them, given the lack of transparency in hospital billing and the insurance claims process.”
For uninsured respondents, nearly half cited insurance being “too expensive” as their primary reason for lack of coverage. Of those who did manage to receive care, 39% struggled to pay the associated costs, resulting in depleted household savings, maxed out credit cards and forgoing key necessities such as food, heat and housing payments.
One respondent, a Medicaid recipient, reported missing their medication “all the time” because they couldn’t afford out-of-pocket expenses for prescriptions not covered under Medicaid.
Another respondent, this time on private insurance, expressed concern over their plan’s lack of dental coverage. “I need caps over my front teeth, but my insurance will not cover anything dental besides cleaning, extractions and fillings,” they wrote in the survey.
Kraig accused Wisconsin lawmakers of failing to tackle the state’s developing health crisis despite high rates of concern.
“The survey data should be a wake up call to state policy lawmakers who have not prioritized reforms that would slow the healthcare cost crisis gripping Wisconsin,” Kraig said.
However, Democratic state lawmakers, including Rep. Kristina Shelton (D-Green Bay), are trying to change that.
Shelton and some of her Democratic colleagues plan to reintroduce the BadgerCare Public Option Act, a bill which aims to establish a cheaper, more-comprehensive public insurance option through BadgerCare for all Wisconsinites regardless of income.
“The results of this survey continue to validate what we know, people tell us everyday, and what we personally experience,” Shelton said during Monday’s press conference. “We have to remember that these are real stories of what people are facing everyday and this is on top of what working families are already experiencing.”
The bill also looks to build on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) by establishing a new, state-level online insurance marketplace, an ACA “basic health plan” for individuals without children making 133-200% of the federal poverty line. It would also allow small businesses to purchase health coverage at more affordable rates through the state marketplace.
“[The bill] moves away from a healthcare system that’s driven by profit and instead it prioritizes the health and wellness of working Wisconsinites,” Shelton said. “My office is going to fight like hell for this.”
While the lowest income levels in society face the steepest hurdles to care, high costs are felt by a majority of respondents across all income levels. Of respondents with annual household incomes below $75,000, 62% reported a healthcare affordability burden, and for those above the $75,000 line, at least 52% still experienced one or more burdens to care.
In addition, rural, non-white, Hispanic and disabled respondents across all income levels reported higher rates of cost-related burdens.
Still, 70% of respondents said the healthcare system must change. When asked to diagnose the system’s problems, they focused on price-gouging from pharmaceutical companies, hospitals and private insurance.
“The healthcare system is built to serve wealthy CEOs, drug companies and insurance companies who are making money off this profit model and off of our sickness,” Shelton said. “Too many of us, including everyday working families, are falling between the cracks.”
Shelton plans to reintroduce the bill this fall with renewed momentum surrounding healthcare costs.

WTH is this? Senate bill rewrite lets feds read your e-mail without warrants
CNET has learned that Patrick Leahy, the influential Democratic chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee, has dramatically reshaped his legislation in response to law enforcement concerns. A vote on his bill, which now authorizes warrantless access to Americans' e-mail, is scheduled for next week.
Looks like a 180-turn from Sen. Leahy's previous championing *for* warrants (just search DU).

4. Leahy often second-guesses himself, and can get it very wrong in the end.
He's done this before several times in the run-up to the USA Patriot Act, reauthorizations and Amendments. He comes out initially expressing "grave misgivings" but in the end ends up pushing the Bill through committee and sponsoring it on the Floor.
He did this also in the aborted inquiry into Bush Administration malfeasance related to 9/11 and deception of the Commission. Leahy was initially very open to netroots input on this, even posting and responding to questions on DailyKos. But the hearing were a whitewash.

Latest Title: Electronic Communications Privacy Act Amendments Act of 2011
Sponsor: Sen Leahy, Patrick J. (introduced 5/17/2011) Cosponsors (None)
Latest Major Action: 5/17/2011 Referred to Senate committee.
Status: Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
I'm not sure that the copy of the bill at this link has the changes that were being discussed in the article, though.

Last week marked the conclusion of the grand taxpayer funded spectacles known as the national party conventions. It is perhaps very telling that while $18 million in tax dollars was granted to each party for these lavish ordeals, an additional $50 million each was needed for security in anticipation of the inevitable protests at each event. This amounts to a total of $136 million in taxpayer funds for strictly partisan activities - a drop in the bucket relative to our disastrous fiscal situation, but disgraceful nonetheless. Parties should fund their own parties, not the taxpayer.
At these conventions, leaders determined, or pretended to determine, who they wished to govern the nation for the next four years amidst inevitable, endless exaltations of democracy. Yet we are not a democracy. In fact, the founding fathers found the concept of democracy very dangerous.
Democracy is majority rule at the expense of the minority. Our system has certain democratic elements, but the founders never mentioned democracy in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, or the Declaration of Independence. In fact, our most important protections are decidedly undemocratic. For example, the First Amendment protects free speech. It doesn't - or shouldn't - matter if that speech is abhorrent to 51% or even 99% of the people. Speech is not subject to majority approval. Under our republican form of government, the individual, the smallest of minorities, is protected from the mob.
Sadly, the constitution and its protections are respected less and less as we have quietly allowed our constitutional republic to devolve into a militarist, corporatist social democracy. Laws are broken, quietly changed and ignored when inconvenient to those in power, while others in positions to check and balance do nothing. The protections the founders put in place are more and more just an illusion.
This is why increasing importance is placed on the beliefs and views of the president. The very narrow limitations on government power are clearly laid out in Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution. Nowhere is there any reference to being able to force Americans to buy health insurance or face a tax/penalty, for example. Yet this power has been claimed by the executive and astonishingly affirmed by Congress and the Supreme Court. Because we are a constitutional republic, the mere popularity of a policy should not matter. If it is in clear violation of the limits of government and the people still want it, a Constitutional amendment is the only appropriate way to proceed. However, rather than going through this arduous process, the Constitution was in effect, ignored and the insurance mandate was allowed anyway.
This demonstrates how there is now a great deal of unhindered flexibility in the Oval Office to impose personal views and preferences on the country, so long as 51% of the people can be convinced to vote a certain way. The other 49% on the other hand have much to be angry about and protest under this system.
We should not tolerate the fact that we have become a nation ruled by men, their whims and the mood of the day, and not laws. It cannot be emphasized enough that we are a republic, not a democracy and, as such, we should insist that the framework of the Constitution be respected and boundaries set by law are not crossed by our leaders. These legal limitations on government assure that other men do not impose their will over the individual, rather, the individual is able to govern himself. When government is restrained, liberty thrives.

Introduction to the Debate: Are Peanuts Bad for Dogs?
The debate surrounding whether or not peanuts are bad for dogs has been a hot topic of discussion in the canine health & nutrition community for many years. While some experts maintain that peanuts are generally safe for healthy dogs, others contend that their high fat and salt content makes them an unsuitable treat. To further complicate matters, recent studies have cast doubt on the long-stood belief that peanut allergies occur only in humans – prompting the question of whether or not these common legumes could cause adverse reactions in man’s best friend.
Proponents of feeding peanut products to dogs argue that peanuts contain healthy monounsaturated fats along with minerals such as magnesium, phosphorus and zinc which are beneficial to canine health and can aid in reducing inflammation. Additionally, as snacks go, unsalted roasted peanuts offer a much lower sugar and carbohydrate content than other human treats such as chocolate and sweets – making them a reasonable food item to feed once in awhile as a reward or minor supplement to the dog’s regular diet. On top of all this, many commercialized pet snacks (such as those found at most grocery stores) today contain small amounts of ground peanuts which can provide important nourishment without overfeeding your pup.
On the other hand, critics cite concerns of overdosing on key nutrients (particularly sodium), potential allergic reactions (especially if exposed indirectly) and producing a general lackadaisical attitude amongst animals towards healthier food options due to their love of highly caloric snacks like salted peanut products or butters made from them. Studies currently available do show mixed review results when it comes to determining how exactly processed daily peanuts can impact canine longevity; however, there is no denying the abundance of unhealthy saturated fats present in most peanut based meals and treats sold today. Furthermore, veterinary professionals warn against consumption by breeds prone to pancreatitis due to its high concentration of fats combined with carbohydrates rich components innate within many “pet grade” varieties meant for human consumption on occasion by our furry pals.
Despite both sides firmly entrenched on either side – each offering fact-based points surrounding why/why not our pups should have occasional access to peanut-based foods; it is ultimately up to responsible pet owners decide what types/amounts work best based upon their individual pet’s lifestyle & activity levels while taking into consideration any existing sensitivities or dietary restrictions required due certain medical conditions often faced in today’s increasingly more health conscious animal world we live in. Ultimately we strive for happy tails & well adjusted eyes as they hug us silly with tail wags every time they catch sight us! Afterall – who can really say no?
What Health Issues Do Peanuts Pose For Dogs?
Peanuts are a common snack food for humans, but can be dangerous for dogs in some cases. Peanuts are not toxic to dogs, but they can pose certain health risks. Since peanuts are high in fat and contain essential proteins, eating too many can cause your dog to become overweight or develop pancreatitis. Smaller breeds of dogs have an even higher risk – as small amounts of peanuts could easily make up a large portion of their daily caloric intake. The ingestion of moldy or spoiled peanuts is especially risky because the mold may produce toxins that can quickly damage multiple organs and possibly result in death.
Additionally, peanut shells and skins can cause choking hazards or intestinal blockages if swallowed by your pet dog. Choking occurs when the foreign body becomes lodged between the tongue and throat, while blockages occur when objects get caught in the digestive tract during transit. When this happens, surgery may be required to remove them manually. To protect your pet against these risks, it’s best to avoid feeding peanuts altogether or providing them only very occasionally as treats – and only after ensuring they are whole (not broken), fresh and without shells or skins attached. While it may be tempting to share some snacks with your pup now and then, remember that prevention is always better than cure!
Step by Step Overview of How Peanuts Can Cause Health Problems in Dogs
There is a common misconception that peanuts are healthy for dogs, but nothing could be further from the truth. While small amounts of peanuts can be an occasional treat, they should not be eaten in large amounts or with regular consistency as they present a number of potential health risks.
To start, let’s take a look at the many ways that regular consumption of peanuts can affect your pup’s health:
1) Allergens and Intolerance – Peanuts contain proteins which may cause severe allergic reactions or food intolerances in some dogs when consumed on a regular basis. Symptoms of an allergy or intolerance include irritated skin, vomiting, and diarrhea. If you suspect your dog has any peanut allergies or intolerances it’s important to eliminate them from their diet entirely to prevent further complications.
2) Choking Hazards – Peanuts are quite hard and have the potential to cause choking if given without proper monitoring. Even when monitored closely there is still the potential for choking due to the choke-prone nature of familiar shaped peanuts such as cashews, almonds, and walnuts. While a single peanut is generally safe for larger breeds, smaller breeds may find it difficult to manage physical size limits associated with choking hazards accompanying nuts like these.
3) Obesity – The high fat content found in most commercial nuts can lead your pooch straight towards obesity if enjoyed with regularity and little exercise supervision. Even when taken in moderate quantities the high fat count enables additional weight gain and presents other long term health issues such as canine diabetes or joint pain syndrome (CJPS). It’s important that any nut treats you give your pup need to be coupled with regular exercise supervision so you can ensure nutritional balance as well as energy burn offs are taking place regularly together!
4) Gastrointestinal Issues – While some dog breeds find no issue regulating their digestive tract after consumption of one peanut-based snack item, others may see severe gastrointestinal side effects stemming from prolonged ingestion,. These side effects arise primarily due to acid reflux issues often seen alongside less than ideal absorption processes prevalent within all species across the board – big or small! Moreover based on each dog’s individual metabolic rates variability these issues might manifest differently depending on said puppy’s physiology and muscle structure genetics — causing bloating pausing restful sleep patterns & additionally creating low energy drops between natural energy flow rhythm cycles dispersing throughout each day care session executed together!
For those reasons it’s highly recommended avoiding feeding animals small wild caught snacks originating from trees located across lakes & forests outside normal municipality city limits altogether if possible! Instead it’s best focusing on regulating vitamins & minerals offered through standard canned/wet pet food product lines plus enforcing punctual brushing practices paired along occasionally dental treatment assistance also included within most quality brands specializing in offering products designed exclusivity within this particular field sector professionally stocked full helpful options parents around regions world wide depend upon daily — next time more educated minded decisions can made accordingly particularly when shopping groceries store around town looking good ingredients sure enough help make sure precious pup stays stay safe healthy feet financially comfortable everyday too!:)
Frequently Asked Questions About Feeding Peanuts to Dogs
There are a lot of questions surrounding the feeding of peanuts to dogs, so let’s try and answer some of them.
Are Peanuts Nutritious for Dogs?
Yes, peanuts are packed full of nutrients that are beneficial for your pet. They contain protein, fiber and healthy fats as well as vitamins B1 and E which all contribute to your dog’s overall health. So, while they should not be the only food in their diet, this delicious snack can provide any four-legged friend with many nutritional benefits.
Can Dogs Eat Unsalted Peanuts?
Yes they can! Unsalted peanuts may actually be preferable to salted ones because some breeds such as miniature breeds are more prone to high blood pressure. The sodium in salted peanuts could increase this risk further so if you have a breed like this or if you’re just looking for healthier options then unsalted is definitely the way to go.
How Many Peanuts Can I Give My Dog?
The amount of peanuts you give your pup ultimately depends on their age, weight and activity levels so it’s best to consult with a veterinary professional before introducing any new snacks into their diet. If given too much, snacks like these can give unfavorable amounts of fat and calories so moderation is key when treating your pupper pals!
Are All Kinds Of Peanuts Okay For Dogs To Eat?
It really depends on what kind of peanut it is but generally speaking it’s important to avoid raw or unroasted types because these can contain aflatoxins which may be toxic for your pup when ingested in large enough quantities. Instead opt for organic certified varieties which will have gone through rigorous testing processes ensuring they’re safe for consumption by your four-legged loved one!
Top 5 Facts about the Dangers of Peanuts for Dogs
1. Peanuts can cause oral health issues in some dogs – Peanuts contain something known as “amandin,” which is a protein that can irritate the membranes inside of a pup’s mouth. If they snack on too many peanuts, they could start to experience gum and tooth swelling, an unpleasant development for any pet owner.
2. Dogs with pancreatitis are at risk from ingesting peanuts – If a dog has an existing case of pancreatitis it could be severely increased by their consumption of peanuts. This inflammation of the pancreas happens when the digestive system breaks down more fat than usual, and peanut butter is a very unhealthy choice in those cases. It’s important to understand each individual needs of your pet before giving them snack.
3. Your pup could have allergic reactions to peanuts – Just like humans, some animals may be allergic to certain food items or ingredients; in these cases regarding peanuts, severe reactions may include sneezing or coughing fits, hives on the skin/face, or itchy eyes/ears courtesy of potential food allergies present. Overall, these signs usually just show themselves after being exposed to foods with allergenic properties for long-term snacking sessions – so keep peanut feeding to moderately uncommon intervals (e.g., not daily).
4. Molds found on aged peanuts can harm your canine companion- Mold is often found on aged foods and unfortunately some rotted batches cannot eliminate dangerous toxins such as Aflatoxin – these deadly compounds can damage liver cells while also taking other forms within foods as well (specifically vital proteins located within feedstuffs like eggs or dairy products), leading to more serious overall health issues and imbalanced digestion if ingested continuously over time among pets such as cats & dogs alike! Guard your buddies carefully against consuming old nuts by only purchasing current packs when taking Fido out shopping near you!
5. Obesity promotion via subsisting off fatty snacks – Dogs gaining weight due solely to nutritionally unwise munches should not take part in activities that generally require a healthy degree of reasonably active physical effort throughout periods lasting longer than 30 minutes per day namely walking or jogging alongside owners; instead focus on lean treats – things such as celery leaves & carrots make good low-calorie substitutions that won’t translate into extra pounds packed onto pet pooches who often suffer from this today!
Conclusions & Final Thoughts on the Debate: Are Peanuts Bad for Dogs?
As we have seen, there are both pros and cons to feeding peanuts to dogs. Ultimately, however, the decision whether or not to include peanuts in your dog’s diet is up to you and your veterinarian.
Ultimately, peanuts are a high-calorie food that can be beneficial for dogs when used as part of an overall balanced diet. Peanuts are high in good fats and contain useful vitamins and minerals that can help maintain healthy skin and fur while also assisting with joint health. Of course, there’s certain peanut products (such as peanut butter) that should never be given to dogs due to their potential for dangerous choking hazards.
Nevertheless, as with any pet snack or treat, it’s important to use moderation when giving your pup peanuts. After all, too much of anything—even something nutritious like this—can lead to obesity! Additionally, keep an eye out for any allergies your pup might have; peanut allergies do exist in some pups! Just remember that it’s always better err on the side of caution when introducing new foods so that you don’t end up risking anything serious happening down the line.
At the end of the day though: yes; gobbling down a few peanuts here and there is perfectly fine for most pooches. But just remember not overload them on these salty treats unless directed by a certified veterinary professional.

Here’s another way to use the Adventurous Journey stamp set! This is a simple and easy way to make a quick and cute card (psst… check out my monthly Quick & Cute Card Classes - they are super fun and you get to make 6 cards for only $35).
This slim piece of paper is a perfect way to use up any larger scraps of paper you might have lying around and are not sure what to do with; it’s too large to throw away, too small to turn into the base for a regular card. To spice it up a little, I chose to match the canoe graphic to the coloured paper stripes on the side.
I made the outline of everything and the words black, the hat and lily pads green, and the little fish purple! This colour coordination ties the whole project together and makes it seem perfectly planned out, rather than randomly arranged. Finally, to add a little bit of fun and flair, I added some little opal rounds as a pop of colour and texture! This was a super fun card to make, and I hope it inspires you to look outside your comfort zone when crafting as well.

Wow, it has been a while since I posted on the blog, I work in education and have been on summer vacation since the end of June, I may have been a little lazy since then lol. That being said, today my manicure is reminiscent of a vintage damask cloth, damask is a woven fabric with a pattern that is visible on both sides. It also reminds me of vintage tea towels from the 70’s, so an orange and teal colour pallet it is!
I used the reverse stamping technique again, seriously this is the best technique ever! I’m not 100% in love with this mani but it is a fun colour pallet and I wore it for nearly a week!
For this look I used:
Seche Vite Top Coat
Revlon cloud, eclectic
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear perky pink
Maybelline Color Show sweet clementine
Ice shell pink
Essence date in the moonlight
O.P.I. Fast dry top coat
Pueen 38, 48
The rhinestones I used are from my huge haul from Cheeky.
Up next on the blog is a pink art nouveau manicure!
Hello readers!! Today I have a super duper exciting manicure and new technique to show you! I’m calling it Reverse Stamping and I discovered it on the amazing Art of Nail blog! This woman is a genius! You start off your stamping process as usual: put the polish on the plate, scrape off the excess, use your stamper to pick up the design. Here comes the genius part: take coloured polish and paint directly onto the loaded stamper!!!!! What????? Madness?!?!? Wait for it! We are not done ladies and er, gents! Once the polish dries on the stamper: YOU STAMP YOUR NAIL!!!! This is stamping in colour people! We have gone from the dot matrix printer to a full on colour laser printer! Ok, I’m really excited about this and, I’m sure plenty of others have already figured this out but I had not.
So, here it is my Reverse Stamping Sari Print manicure:
I love love love the way this turned out and I ended up wearing it for almost a whole week. In fact, I’m still wearing it as I type up this post. The key to success with this technique is using as little polish as humanly possible while still applying enough colour to the stamper using only one stroke. The more polish you leave on the stamper the blurrier your outline becomes.
Have any of you tried this technique? If so let me know how it turned out! Don’t forget to check out the gifted artist who inspired this manicure and get the tutorial on her blog “>Art of Nail
Not sure what to do next but I’m pretty sure it will involve some colour printing
For this look I decided to incorporate some Butter London Nail Skins I scored for the low price of $6.99 at Winners.
The nail skins are made out of vinyl-y style material, I think you are supposed to stick them on top of your natural nail and wear as is. I couldn’t help doing a bit of izzyfication to these.
I used one of the Pueen plates to
Stamp a cute vine design on the green nails and a rose image from the same plate.
For this look I used:
Quo strong bond base coat
Quo wild child
Maybelline Color Show lustrous lime
Rimmel black satin

The appetite of mainland investors for US dollar-denominated assets is “huge” and offshore funds available for investment are growing despite curbs by Chinese authorities to stem capital outflows, Yim Fung, chairman of Guotai Junan International Holdings, told the South China Morning Post in an interview on Wednesday . The Hong Kong listed subsidiary of state-owned brokerage giant Guotai Junan Securities last week reported a flat 1 per cent increase in net profit to HK$1.01 billion for the financial year ended December 31, 2016. “The competition among mainland based brokerage firms is becoming more fierce, particularly for the securities brokerage business, as more players are consolidating or expanding their operation in Hong Kong,” Yim said. On the other hand, the sentiment for trading equities has become more rational, particularly among mainland based investors, after the Chinese stock rout in the summer of 2015. “Although the Shenzhen-Hong Kong stock connect kicked off last December, the inflows to small and mid-chips in Hong Kong from mainland investors is not as large as expected,” he said. However, Yim said his company has found new growth engines and is working on developing services including financial products and debt securities. “The demand to move some wealth offshore, to maintain and increase the value of it is very strong among clients, regardless of whether it is a state-owned company or a privately owned one, or if he or she is a high net worth individual,” he said. Yim said his team was able to offer a tailor-made investment portfolio of products based on equities, debt and derivatives, which provided a competitive edge to attract these customers “as long as they could move their wealth to the offshore market”. The company’s 2016 results showed that gains on structured financial products surged 237.9 per cent year on year to HK$116.1 million. “Meanwhile, the desire for mergers and acquisitions is brisk, which has boosted our debt issuance business,” he said. Guotai Junan’s results also showed that commission income from placement, underwriting and sub-writing for debt securities services tripled year on year to HK$250.2 million. Since late 2016 Chinese authorities have stepped up measures to stem capital outflows, including tighter scrutiny of overseas investment purposes, after outflows intensified as the yuan devalued 6.6 per cent against the dollar last year, its worst annual drop since 1994. Another competitive factor helping Guotai outperform its peers, said Yim, is the risk control ability of the company. Last August the firm was rated “BBB/A-2” by Standard & Poor’s, and one month later it earned for the first time a Baa2 long-term issuer rating and a Prime-2 short-term issuer rating from Moody’s. Yim said the upgrades reflected the company’s leading position in the niche market of facilitating mainland individuals in making offshore securities investments. “When we finally got ratings from these international agencies, we saw our liability costs going down, while the customer base was expanding,” he said. Still, the company is facing the most competitive market ever seen in China. The number of stock brokers in the Hong Kong market has risen to the highest level in 20 years, with more than 600 brokers licensed to trade on the city’s bourse, according to Securities and Futures Commission data from October. Meanwhile, the stock market’s level of activity is declining, as the average daily turnover has dropped to HK$66.9 billion, a decrease of 36.6 per cent compared with the HK$105.6 billion daily average in 2015. In granting the new rating to Guotai Junan International, Moody’s said in a report that offsetting the company’s credit strengths were risks arising from the rapid increase in total assets, driven by margin loans, structured products and proprietary investments.

After almost a week of rain, storms and flood, we’re greeted by a sunny Friday for our Autumn Cub Camp at Kariong, about an hour north of Sydney. It’s our largest Cub camp for a long time, with almost 30 Cubs attending the two-night event. (See more photos in the Cub Photo Gallery.)
We have a late dinner on Friday, after putting up 22 tents to accommodate our Cubs, Leaders and Parent Helpers.
Saturday morning begins with a bushwalk after breakfast: starting from the Scout Camp, we walk via the Piles Creek Loop to Girrakool. (The Piles Creek Loop is a varied but relatively challenging walk, which usually starts from the Girrakool picnic area.)
The first hour of the bushwalk is (relatively) easy, as we descend past the Piles Creek Lookout to the Phil Houghton Bridge (suspension bridge) over Piles Creek. Here we enjoy a short break, at one of the informal Great North Walk camp sites on the other side of Piles Creek. So far, no leeches and only minor complaints about sore legs!
From here it’s uphill, with the track climbing fairly relentlessly between enormous boulders, under rock overhangs and past towering cliffs.
Just before we reach the Girrakool picnic area where we’ve arranged transport by car back to the camp, we ask if any Cubs want to complete the circuit and walk back to the Scout Camp. I’m not expecting an enthusiastic response… but six Cubs are keen to continue on foot. Well done to AJ, Angus, Chris, Isaac, Lucas and Rhys complete the full loop!
There’s some well-deserved free time in the afternoon, including a swim in the camp waterhole.
Just before dinner we take advantage of a spectacular setting above a waterfall to invest five new Cubs, and to welcome two Cubs who have joined us from other groups.
The day ends with a Hawaiian-themed dinner, and some skits and fun around the campfire.
Our final day starts off very seriously, as we focus on our Outdoor Adventure Skills (OAS). The Cubs rotate around four “stations” in which we cover….
Navigation and map-reading skills with Javier
Essential Knots with Darren
First aid with Karien
Bush survival skills with Garry
Another fantastic camp – a big thanks to David (Camp Manager) who hosted us, Javier who took on the onerous task of organising the camp with support from the 2G Leaders, and to all the Parent Helpers who assisted over the three days. We’re looking forward to an even bigger camp in October…
