Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of mobile grooming?
With mobile grooming you take the hassle out of dropping off and picking up your beloved pooch at appointments. We bring the convenience of a completely self contained Spa to your driveway. This service can also be extremely beneficial to you, the owner. During a time when limiting your interactions with others is especially important, Mobile Grooming is the perfect solution.
Eliminating separation anxiety, crates, stressful car rides, and waiting at the groomers, mobile dog grooming is a far less daunting – and far more effective – way to have your pet groomed!
When visiting a groomer, it’s difficult for you and your pet to get the one on one attention that they deserve. Mobile grooming ensures that your pet is the center of attention, receiving the absolute best experience and loving care as possible.
No exposure to other pets
Just like people visiting hospitals, visiting the dog groomer can expose your pet to viruses that other dogs can be carrying. Exposure to unvaccinated pets, fleas, ticks, and other hazards are all eliminated when utilizing the services of a mobile dog groomer.
There's No Place Like Home Mobile Pet Spa takes pride in providing a stress-free, personal, and sanitary environment for your pet. We believe that your dog’s experience should be a positive one… one that they look forward to! We offer standing appointments from every two weeks up to eight weeks.

Our self-contained van doesn’t need to plug in to your home and is fully-equipped with fresh water, specialty shampoos, a hydro-massage bathing system and is a climate controlled environment! If you’ve been looking for an easier, more relaxing, and more effective way to groom your pet, contact us today to schedule your appointment! Your pooch will thank you.
Do I need to be home to have my pet groomed?
For the very first appointment I do require someone to be home so we can meet the pet and let them become familiar with us. I also like to meet the pet parent so we can ask or answer any grooming questions. After the first visit it is not necessary for someone to be home. For future appointments you can leave a key, door code or garage code. I will make sure your pet is securely back in your home and will lock up when I leave.
When will you arrive to my home?
I try my very best to be on time for all our appointments. I ask that you keep in mind that Iam mobile and can run behind due to traffic, bad weather or a dog requiring more individualized care than expected. I will provide you with a window of our arrival time of 1 hour. For example, if you book a 10 am appointment I will do my best to get there at 10, however my window of arrival time will be between 10 and 11 am.
I live on a hill, can you still come to my home?
Unfortunately I am unable to provide service to homes that are located on a hill or incline. The van requires a level spot to park either in the driveway or in front of the home to insure proper weight distribution and an optimal grooming experience.
Will I be able to be in the van to watch my dog be groomed?
Unfortunately, due to liability reasons, I can not allow our clients to be in the van while their beloved dog gets pampered. I certainly understand your concern and curiosity, but rest assured they are receiving the best care possible in my van. I treat them like I would my own dogs, as part of the family. They are returned to you with smiles and tails wagging which will tell you all you need to know about their wonderful experience with There’s No Place Like Home.
Do you need to connect to my electric or use the water in order to groom?
That's the best part, you relax in the comfort of your own home while I pamper your pooch in a 100% self contained mobile grooming spa! I park on the street or in the convenience of your driveway and treat your beloved pet to the pampering of a lifetime. On rare occasions I may need to plug into your home to charge the van or fill up on water. This can happen on a day with a lot of clients or during the summer months. Running the air conditioner to keep both groomer and pups comfortable takes a lot more power and so a little extra boost may be needed from time to time.
How long will my dog's groom take?
No two dogs are the same and require their own specialized care to cater to their individual needs. An estimated length of groom time will be best determined after the groomer has had a chance to take into consideration the dogs temperament, coat condition and type of service needed. Grooming can take anywhere from 1-3 hours.
Do you groom large breeds?
At this time I am not taking appointments for large breed dogs as I cannot comfortably accommodate and handle large breeds in the grooming van.
Sorry, no dogs over 20 pounds.
What form of payment do you accept?
We except cash, check, credit and Zelle

Companion planting with celery: companion plants, antagonistic plants
Although celery is a demanding crop, it is ideal for companion planting with cabbage or tomatoes. Depending on the type of celery crop, however, there are different requirements in terms of space and neighbors. In this article, you will find out what you need to consider when intercropping celery. You will also find a companion planting table with companion and antagonistic plants as well as sample planting plans.
This article contains:
- Celery in companion planting: location & soil
- Good neighbors for celery
- Celery: antagonistic plants
- Succession cropping & crop rotation
- Companion planting table for celery: Which plants get along?
- Growing celery in a raised bed: Planting plan ideas
- Companion planting plans for celery
- Frequently asked questions about celery in companion planting
Celery: companion & antagonistic plants
- Heavy feeder, likes neutral (pH approx. 7), well-drained, slightly loamy, nutrient-rich soil.
- Companion plants: beans, cucumbers, raspberries, elderberries, chamomile, cabbage, leeks, oregano, marigold, rocket, chives, spinach, gooseberries and tomatoes.
- Antagonistic plants: artichoke, chilli, potato, coriander, lovage, turnip, maize, bell pepper, parsnip, parsley, lettuce, Jerusalem artichoke and root parsley.
Succession cropping & crop rotation with celery
- Green manure is ideal as a pre- and post-crop to enrich the soil with nutrients. Spinach is also well suited as a pre- and post-crop.
- After growing celery the following year, change the location and ideally choose a different bed. This way, diseases and pests have less chance of establishing themselves in the soil. Also, do not grow plants from the same family in direct succession during the same season (celery belongs to the umbellifer family (Apiaceae)).
Celery in companion planting: location & soil
A sunny to semi-shady spot is ideal for celery. The soil should be loose, well-drained and well supplied with nutrients , as celery is a heavy feeder. Celery also likes soil with a neutral pH value of around 6.5-7.5. You can find more information about growing celery in our article Planting, cutting and harvesting celery. You may be able to help with garden lime or crushed eggshells if your soil is quite acidic. However, you can find out what you need to bear in mind and how often you should add garden lime in our article on lime fertilizer: Liming garden soil.
Good neighbors for celery
Celery belongs to the umbellifer family (Apiaceae) and prefers nutrient-rich, loose soil. You can therefore grow neighbors with similar needs next to your celery plants. Plants with the same preferences include other heavy eaters such as cabbage , tomatoes and leeks . But there are also some species among the herbs that like similar locations. These include oregano and chives , for example. Raspberries, gooseberries and elderberries also go well with celery. In addition to these plants, you can also grow beans, cucumbers and spinach next to celery.
Celeriac: Companion plants
As celeriac mainly forms its bulb underground, it needs sufficient distance (approx. 40 cm x 50 cm) from other vegetable plants and requires more space than perennial and cut celeriac. You should therefore plant other root vegetables in particular at a sufficient distance from your celeriac. Beans, on the other hand, are ideal as planting partners, as they support the celeriac with their nitrogen-binding properties. Tomatoes also make good planting partners, as do cabbages. Kohlrabi in particular is a great bedding partner for celery plants as, unlike celeriac, it forms its tuber above ground.
Suitable neighbors for celery
Perennial celery forms its stalks above the soil and needs slightly less space (30 cm x 40 cm) in the bed than celeriac. Cabbages go very well with celery stalks, as celery 's strong smell keeps cabbage white butterflies away from your plants. Beans and tomatoes are also good planting partners as with celeriac.
Leaf spot is a fungus that attacks celery stalks more frequently than other types of celery, so you should also ensure there is sufficient space between the plants. This ensures better aeration and prevents fungal diseases such as leaf spot. Good neighbors and watering from below also help to slow down or even prevent the spread of the disease.
Companion plants for tomatoes: celery plants
You can grow tomatoes and celery together, they have similar soil and nutrient requirements and are not affected by the same diseases. However, you should make sure that the soil is well supplied with nutrients, as both plants are heavy feeders. Tomatoes can also help prevent aphids and flies from settling on neighboring plants.
As tomatoes and celery are often attacked by mildew, it is worth planting basil in the bed together with the two plants. The aromatic herb protects neighboring plants from mildew and prevents infestation. Also water your plants from below, as mildew is also a fungus and can be transferred to the leaves of your plants through watering.
Celeriac in particular loosens the soil well for the roots of the tomatoes and prevents waterlogging. Tomato roots are deep-rooted and therefore complement the shallow-rooted celery well when growing underground. However, the growth forms of the two plants also complement each other well above the ground, as tomatoes tend to grow bushy or upwards, while celery takes up less space above the ground.
Plant cabbage next to celery
Celery is particularly suitable for cabbage plants as a neighbor, as its intense smell keeps the cabbage white butterfly away from your cabbage plants. It can also help to protect your cabbage plants from fleas, cabbage owls and cabbage flies. At the same time, a mixed culture with cabbage plants also protects celery itself better from celery rust and the celery fly, which likes to lay its eggs on celery plants. Alternatively, you can stretch crop protection netting over your celery plants.
In addition to differences in pests and diseases, celery and most types of cabbage also complement each other in their growth habit above and below the ground. Celery is a shallow-rooted plant, while cabbage species are deep or medium-rooted. Above the soil, headed cabbages and kohlrabi are particularly suitable, as they are best suited to the growth habit of celery. Leafy cabbages are less suitable due to their protruding leaves.
Celery: antagonistic plants
Bad neighbors for celery are potatoes, corn and lettuce. As potatoes also form their tubers underground, they interfere with the roots and tubers of celery and restrict each other's growth. Potatoes can also be attacked by aphids and voles and lettuce is often attacked by aphids and downy mildew. These diseases and pests can also affect celery. Artichokes, chilies, lovage, turnips, peppers, parsley, Jerusalem artichokes and root parsley are also not good neighbors for celery plants.
What doesn't go well with celery?
While cut celery gets on very well with many herbs, parsley and lovage are not good neighbors. Lovage generally does not get on well with almost all plant species, as it is said to restrict the growth of other plants through root exudates. However, there are probably gardens in which a mixed culture with lovage works. You should make sure that it does not take up too much space from other plants, as it has a very sprawling growth habit.
Like celery,parsley and carrots belong to the umbellifer family (Apiaceae) and are therefore best not planted directly next to celery. They often attract similar pests and diseases such as mildew and leaf spot. These then have an easier time spreading to other plants when plants from the same family are planted next to each other. Vegetable fennel and salsify are also bad neighbors for cut celery.
Succession cropping & crop rotation
Green manure is ideal as a pre- and post-crop to enrich the soil with nutrients. Celery is often affected by leaf spot disease, so it is important to keep sufficient distance between plants when growing and in mixed cultivation. In addition, you should not grow celery in the same place for several years in a row (cultivation break of 3-4 years), but change the bed. This prevents the disease from establishing itself in the soil. Spraying with horsetail decoction may be suitable as a preventative measure. This can strengthen your plants and make them more resistant to diseases and pests. You can find out how to make and use the decoction in our article Horsetail decoction: effect, preparation and use in the garden.
Companion planting table for celery: Which plants get along?
Here we have summarized an overview of good and bad neighbors for celery in a table:
|Companion plants||Antagonistic plants|
|Cabbages (cauliflower, broccoli, kohlrabi, etc.)||Coriander|
Growing celery in a raised bed: Planting plan ideas
Celery is often grown together with tomatoes, cabbages and beans. Below you will find an example planting plan for a 1 m x 2 m raised bed. As there is less space in the raised bed than in a large bed, less space-consuming species and varieties such as celery (Tall Utah 52/70), kohlrabi (Azurstar) and pole tomatoes (Moneymaker) have been selected. Basil (Italian Star) and bush beans (Primavera) are also still in the bed. Basil protects tomatoes and celery better against diseases such as mildew and improves the taste. Bush beans help to prevent the soil from leaching out due to their nitrogen-fixing properties.
Companion planting plans for celery
In these planting plans you will find further examples of companion planting with celery. These include a tomato bed with celeriac, a mixed cultivation bed with celery stalks and other autumn vegetables, and a herb spiral with cut celery alongside many other herbs.

Frequently asked questions about celery in companion planting
In a mixed crop, you can grow beans, cucumbers, raspberries, elderberries, camomile, cabbage, leeks, oregano, marigold, rocket, chives, spinach, gooseberries and tomatoes alongside celery.
Artichokes, chillies, potatoes, coriander, lovage, turnips, sweetcorn, peppers, parsnips, parsley, lettuce, Jerusalem artichokes and root parsley are bad neighbors for celeriac and celeriac stalks. Cut celery also does not get on well with fennel, carrots and black salsify.
Yes, kohlrabi and other types of cabbage go very well with celery, as the smell of celery keeps the harmful cabbage white butterflies away from your cabbage plants. Cabbage plants also protect celery better from the celery fly.
Tomatoes and celeriac can be grown well together as they have similar soil and nutrient requirements. Celeriac in particular loosens the soil well for the deep roots of tomatoes and prevents waterlogging.

Victoria Struggles to Buy Books
Victoria University of Wellington Students' Association is calling on the government to increase funding to universities after a report by the Victoria University Librarian has revealed the funding pressure the University is under.
The report, delivered to today's meeting of the University's Academic Board, was requested after staff expressed concern that the library was not buying enough new books and journals to keep up with academic research. The library's current policy is to focus on purchasing books that are needed for specific courses. This means that more general or interdisciplinary resources, or resources needed for post-graduate and staff research, are not being purchased.
The report confirms that there has been 'an effort to prioritise selections in the face of rapidly declining purchasing power. Since 1997 the budget for new book and journal purchases has been capped at c.$2.99m resulting in a decline in purchasing power since then of 43%, caused by a combination of market price increases and exchange rate losses.'
"We need to keep an up to date library collection to support our research and studies, and at the moment it seems we can't afford to do that." said VUWSA Education Vice-President Nick Henry
"This report confirms what we already knew, that Universities in this country are grossly underfunded and are struggling to meet their basic needs. The government needs to recognise the problem and move to increase funding to Universities." said Mr Henry
"The current funding offer from the government is barely enough to cover inflation. The government needs to make a significant investment in universities if we are to be able to meet our basic needs let alone keep up with International research." said Mr Henry.
The University Librarian is Alan Smith. Copies of the report are available from the Committees secretary Carol Reid, or from the students' association.

2015 Mercedes-Benz GLC revealed
Mercedes-Benz's BMW X3 rival brings a spacious, quality interior, hybrid power and off-road ability to the party...
The Mercedes-Benz GLC arrives in the UK this autumn, and will be pitched into the same booming market segment as the BMW X3 and Audi Q5.
What is it?
Mercedes-Benz customers in the UK haven’t been able to choose a direct rival for the BMW X3 or Audi Q5 up to now, because the company’s mid-sized SUV, the GLK, was never available in right-hand drive.
That’s finally set to change with the car’s replacement, the GLC, which will turn up in showrooms this autumn. The GLC is based on the same chassis parts as the latest C-Class compact executive, although it gets a longer wheelbase in a bid to increase the amount of legroom for rear passengers.
Mercedes is clearly targeting the X3 very closely, because many of the dimensions of the two cars are almost identical; the GLC is just a single millimetre shorter than its BMW rival, and just 9mm wider.
It’s noticeably lower, though – by almost 40mm, in fact. The new model is designed to sit halfway between the baby GLA and the plusher GLE (the new name for the M-Class), but it feels much closer to its larger brother in concept.
The new car’s wheelbase is more than 60mm longer than the X3’s, and it feels it once you climb aboard; there’s plenty of space for four six-feet tall adults to travel in comfort, with excellent head room and leg room in the rear.
The boot capacity is 550 litres with the rear seats in place and 1600 litres with the standard 40/20/40 split folded down.
Those figures are identical to the X3’s, although the GLC can also extend its seats-up capacity a little (to 580 litres) by making the rear seat backs more upright.
The load space itself is usefully square and there’s no awkward lip to load heavy items over; you can also lower the rear seats completely by flicking switches on either side of the boot.
What engines can I choose from?
The GLC will be offered with a choice of two diesel engines to start off with, badged 220d and 250d. The two models share the same engine – a 2.1-litre four-cylinder twin-turbo unit – but with two different power outputs: 168bhp and 201bhp.
As they are both based on the same engine, they also claim the same economy and emissions rating. They both produce 129g/km of CO2 and claim an average of 56.5mpg.
Before the end of this year, Mercedes will introduce a GLC plug-in hybrid, badged 350e. It will mix the 208bhp petrol engine and an electric motor producing 114bhp. It should be able to drive on electric power alone for about 20 miles and will have CO2 emissions of "less than 60g/km", according to Mercedes sources.
The 350e hybrid will be the only GLC to get a seven-speed automatic gearbox; the rest of the line-up will feature a nine-speed auto as standard, along with four-wheel drive.
The GLC will also get a performance edition from Mercedes’ tuning arm, AMG, although initially at least it won’t be a full-house V8. Instead, the GLC 450 AMG Sport will have a twin-turbocharged V6 petrol with around 360bhp.
How much equipment does it come with?
Up front, the dashboard is based heavily on the C-Class’s, with the same large single-piece centre console and high-quality plastics in all the right places. You also get the same choice of screens: a standard affair with a Garmin-based sat-nav, or a wider display that includes Merc’s own Comand system.
Two standard suspension set-ups will be offered: ‘Comfort’ and a stiffer ‘Sport’, although many customers will choose the more expensive air suspension option.
There will also be styling packs that add chrome or gloss black trim, and different designs of front and rear bumpers. They’ll have better approach and departure angles for off-roading or will be styled purely for on-road use.
Mercedes knows that most SUV customers hardly ever drive on grass, let alone proper tracks, but it is offering an ‘off-road pack’ as an option for those that do.
On cars with the regular suspension this raises the ride height by 20mm, but if you add it to a GLC with air suspension you get a host of additional features.
It introduces three selectable ride heights beyond normal – raised by 30mm and 50mm, and lowered by 15mm – and adds a data screen to the infotainment system that can show everything from the angle the car is leaning to the amount of throttle and brake pedal you’re using.
How much will it cost?
Prices for the GLC start at £34,950 for the 220d 4Matic model, and rise to £36,105 for the 250d4Matic.
How good are its rivals?
The Audi Q5 currently holds a four-star rating on What Car, and although it's not cheap to buy or run, it does offer a great blend of space and quality.
The BMW X3 holds a full five-star rating, and comes with a plush-feeling cabin and low running costs.


Dubai's Arabtec extends due diligence for Aabar deal
DUBAI (Reuters) - Dubai's Arabtec said on Sunday the due diligence date for its $1.7-billion merger with Aabar Investments had been extended to April 16, in a move that will encourage investors that the deal will progress.
"Because of the enormity of the task at hand and the limited time frame, both parties agreed to amend the subscription agreement and the term sheet to extend the due diligence date to midnight April 16 2010," the United Arab Emirates' largest contractor by market value said in a statement on the bourse website.
Under the agreement, Abu Dhabi's Aabar in January had agreed to acquire a 70 percent stake in Arabtec in a deal valued at about $1.7 billion.
Earlier in February, Arabtec's chief financial officer told Reuters the deal was on track with a possible closure in March.
"I think the news is encouraging as it shows the deal is live," said Ali Khan, managing director at Arqaam Capital in Dubai.
"Delays in due diligence can be a common occurrence, however some words of encouragement from Aabar would be welcomed as well," he added.
Arabtec stopped work on one of troubled Dubai developer Nakheel's largest housing projects because it had not been paid by the Dubai World-owned firm, the National reported on Thursday.
Arabtec's chief executive said no payments had come through from the developer since December's $10 billion cash injection from Abu Dhabi.
Shares of Arabtec were down 1 percent, while Aabar shares were flat at 1:15 a.m. EST.
Earlier in February Deutsche Bank cut the Arabtec's price target to 3 dirhams from 4.5 dirhams.

Wasafi records rebel singer Harmonize also known by his fans as Kode boy is set to perform live in Kigali, come 18th June.
The Kigali show is among a series of the singer is scheduled to commence on 30th April, from Nairobi, Kenya under Afro East Carnival.
Harmonize released the schedule on Tuesday March 29 via his official social media platforms as one way to give heads up his fans across the globe.
The first leg of Afro East Carnival took place in Tanzania between March 4-5 featuring East Africa’s big stars.
Rwandans are already enjoying Bruce Melodie and Harmonize song dubbed ‘Totally’ and it’s a club banger doing rounds in several Kigali’s hangouts.
Harmonize last performed in Rwanda in 2018, courtesy of The Mane music house and he also recorded a song with local female singer Marina.
Former Tanzanian president John Pombe Joseph Magufuli(RIP) was a diehard fan of Harmoniza. In fact in several state functions, the fallen head of state was seen grooving Harmonize songs and he even urged youth to learn to work hard from scratches like Harmonize to develop.
Rajab Abdul Kahali popularly known as Harmonize is a popular name not only in Tanzania but the entire Africa. He is a Tanzanian Singer, songwriter, and dancer.
His genre of songs is a mixture of Afropop and Bongo Flava. The Bongo star now has his own label the Konde Music Worldwide Label, where he has signed a budding talent Ibraah and is yet to sign even more talents.
Harmonize is one of the musicians who were brought up under Diamond Platnumz’ Wasafi Records (WCB) and late left the company. The award-winning Bongo artiste came to limelight when he collaborated with Diamond Platnumz on a hit song “Bado.
The Afro East Carnival will start from Mombasa-Kenya and proceed to Burundi, Dar Es Salaam, Uganda, Rwanda and close the curtain in UK.

The Minestompers were founded in Germany's rainy Cologne in 2008 by four good-for-nothing retards pathologically obsessed with sleaze, trash and the weirdest and wildest incarnations of Rock and Roll. This means first and foremost Punk, Surf and 80's Psychobilly in the wake of Cramps, Guana Batz or the early Meteors.
After years of giggling, gigging and drinking they captured the madness of being a Minestomper on vinyl. Crazy Love Records, Europes no. 1 label for anything rocking’, psyching and stomping, released the band’s debut album in 2015. The 14 wild, weird and savage cuts were quite well received in the scene and beyond.
... and the the next batch of hits is already on its way: their second long player Porno Mags & Body Bags is to be released in 2019. And you can bet it will blow your ass wide open!

Yobe State Governor Mai Mala Buni has on Thursday said that education remains and will continue to be the topmost priority of his government.
He also said his government is prioritizing primary and secondary education to ensure that no child of Yobe state missed out on education. To achieve this, the Governor added, state of emergency was declared on the education sector.
The Governor stated while receiving the Board of Trustees of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND) under the leadership of Alhaji Kashim Imam — on a courtesy call at the State House, Damaturu.
While appreciating the interventions of TETFUND to the six tertiary institutions in Yobe state, Governor Buni said; “We appreciate what TETFUND has been doing in Yobe state, but like Oliver Twist we are asking for more. Institutions like the state polytechnic Geidam was almost destroyed by insurgents. But we are doing out best and currently we are rebuilding the institution.”
Responding, the Chairman TETFUND Board of Trustees, Alhaji Kashim Imam said, this year TEFUND will invest N8 billion in the six tertiary institutions of Yobe state. This is an increase in the intervention of TETFUND in Yobe State institutions.
Alhaji Kashim Imam used the forum to commend Governor Mai Mala Buni for providing “exceptional leadership in a difficult situation.”

Probably the most famous dreadnought guitar ever. Who of the famous musicians did not play it?
The D-35 is the prime example of a 14-fret dreadnought and the construction basis for most dreadnoughts on the market. The combination of solid spruce and rosewood is a favorite among recording technicians, as the soundscape is naturally balanced with tight basses and present trebles and it is suitable for many modern styles.
This guitar offered here is also from the best time of Martin. Here you get the incomparable vintage sound, which in addition to the huge basses brings this great warm nuance in the tone that can only be found on guitars with matured woods.
It has an incredibly huge and room filling sound. It is a real pleasure to play this guitar.
This guitar is in a great condition for its age. It just had the neck and the back of the headstock refinished. This was done because the old finish had been totally gone due to intense playing. The neck has been reset and the frets been replaced.
It plays just wonderful and with great ease.
The guitar comes in a fitting hardcase (not original).

Offering more options for transplant: One man’s successful transplant journey made possible by the only hospital in Canada to offer a rare procedure
Toronto, February 25, 2019
By Ana Gajic
Paul was diagnosed with ADKPD in his twenties. Then, at age 44, the disease “took an exponential decline.” (Photos courtesy of Paul)
When Paul looks back on life before transplant, he compares it to being a prisoner in his own body.
“You feel like there's this better person inside of you that's locked in a cage,” he said. “And you just know you're a better person, but you're locked in there and you can't get out.”
Paul was diagnosed with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADKPD) in his twenties. The disease is progressive, and causes the kidney to enlarge and develop cysts. For about 20 years, Paul didn’t show symptoms.
Then, at age 44, the disease “took an exponential decline,” he recalled.
“It’s like all of a sudden someone flipped a switch. Every day I woke up, I felt like a two out of 10. You feel alive, but you’re sucked of energy.”
Paul went on peritoneal dialysis, which uses the lining of a person’s abdomen to filter their blood. Dialysis solution – which is made of salt and other additives – flows from a bag through a catheter to the abdomen and filters waste from the body.
Many people find dialysis mentally and physically exhausting, but Paul was determined to continue working. He owns his own company, which creates disease models for large pharmaceutical companies. As CEO and primary salesman, he setup a special spot in the office to perform his “twin-bag” dialysis exchanges.
“I would be sitting at meetings, at a boardroom table, doing peritoneal dialysis,” he said. “I never really took a break.”
Initially, a potential donor came forward but was unfortunately not eligible to donate. Soon after, another friend Paul hadn’t seen for 20 years offered to be his kidney donor in 2017. The two had incompatible blood types, which normally rules out a donor pair – except St. Michael’s Kidney Transplant Program has an innovative technique that makes these situations work.
“At St. Michael’s, we are the only centre in Canada to offer Immunoadsorption therapy for ABO-incompatible (ABOi), or blood-type incompatible, transplant in living directed organ donation,” said Michelle Gabriel, a registered nurse in the Kidney Transplant Program. “This makes organ donation for two people without the same blood type possible, as long as their immune systems are compatible.”
In these cases, the team evaluates the transplant recipient and donor’s immune systems and antibodies. If the two are deemed compatible, the recipient goes through a treatment similar to dialysis before surgery, Gabriel said. The immunoadsorption treatment offered at St. Michael’s is unique, because only very specific antibodies get removed during treatment, which is safer and has fewer side effects. On average, patients need three to five treatments before surgery, which prepares them to receive a kidney from a donor with an incompatible blood type. This technology originated in Europe.
The Kidney Transplant Program is careful to evaluate risks before moving forward with ABOi, said Galo Meliton, registered nurse in the program. For instance, if the pair’s blood types and tissues are incompatible, the team will not proceed with ABOi, because that is too much of a difference. If just the blood types are incompatible, then ABOi is an option.
“I am so proud to be a witness to the adoption of this technological innovation at St. Michael’s,” Meliton said. “If a pair is a candidate, this can sometimes speed up the transplant process for a patient. But we always let the donor and recipient pair choose – I always say, we’re the bus drivers. They tell us where they want to go, and we do our best to get there.”
According to Gabriel, ABOi transplant is one way to “get creative” in order to ensure those who need a transplant and have a willing and able donor receive it.
“This has been a game-changer – for us, for our patients, and for St. Michael’s,” Meliton said.
For Paul, this option was a true lifesaver.
“The willingness from St. Michael’s to be a true innovator and invest in new techniques impresses me,” he said. “Now I’m back to living a good life, contributing to Canada, hiring new and young people – what a return on the investment. It’s a true multiplier effect.”
Since his transplant, Paul said he wakes up most days as a nine out of 10 – far from his past days as a two before transplant. He does intensive fitness programs, is back to golfing, works out six days a week, and his company continues to thrive with him at the helm.
“You can't find a guy that's happier than me,” he said. “Everything centres back to the transplant, St. Michael's, and their ability to offer ABOi as an option.”
His commitment to better himself every day stems from a commitment to his donor, whom he describes as truly selfless.
“There's a special type of person out there who's ready to make such a selfless commitment, but there's still a lack of knowledge around living kidney donation, so there are many special people who don't come forward.”
He’s sharing his story to raise awareness about the power of transplant and the options for live donation.
“With living donation or deceased, there needs to be awareness of the huge amount of lives that can be saved and changed by a single person’s decision to donate. This gave me a second chance at life and I’ve never felt this good.”
Paul is the second in a series of patients we're profiling to celebrate our Kidney Transplant Program's 50th anniversary. It's called a called #MyTXanniversary, and we want to encourage more people to register as organ donors and highlight its patients and staff by sharing stories of their own transplant anniversaries.

KOREAN ELECTRONICS OUTFIT LG has announced that it will compete with Apple and Samsung by launching its own speaking assistant called Quick Voice.
Similar to Siri and S Voice, the "e-intelligent voice recognition" software will allow users to operate a variety of functions on their phones via voice commands, freeing up your hands for other things.
In a Korean press release today, LG said the software will support 11 apps when it is launched, including voice call, text, contacts, alarms, calendar, voice maps, weather, stocks, and web search.
Unfortunately for LG users anywhere else in the world, the service is only available in Korea.
Those lucky enough to live in Korea will see the software launch on the Optimus Vu handset in late June and on the Optimus LTE 2 sometime in July, when both handsets receive an upgrade to the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system.
We are yet to receive a response from LG as to whether UK Optimus owners will be getting LG's intelligent speaking assistant.
Other information we'd like to know about the software is whether it will be capable of searching local businesses like bars and restaurants, something UK Siri users still lack until the IOS 6 upgrade this Autumn.
The news comes a day after LG announced that it will sideline tablet development to focus more on the smartphone market. µ

Max Georges love life – Engagement heartbreak, beauty queen and TOWIE romance
Strictly Come Dancing viewers were devastated last year when The Wanted singer Max George was the third celebrity to be voted off the 2020 series.
However, fans will be delighted as Max has recently been announced for the 2022 Strictly Come Dancing tour, where he will be paired with professional dancer Katya Jones.
Before appearing on Strictly last year, Max's ex Carrie Baker had warned his girlfriend Stacey Giggs about the "Strictly Curse", but Max wasn't caught by it, with the singer gushing over Stacey in recent Instagram posts.
Daily Star takes a look at Max's dating history – from beauty queens, to TOWIE stars and his engagement heartbreak.
Max began dating Coronation Street and Our Girl star Michelle Keegan in 2010, with Max popping the big question to the telly beauty just over a year later.
However, the couple called off their engagement and split in 2012, with Max later blaming his drinking on their break-up.
He told The Sun: "I had a real problem with drinking too much and that was, without doubt, the downfall of our relationship.
"I was drinking more to forget the fact I was with someone who wasn't making me that happy."
He added: "I tried to kid myself it would work out OK, but the moment she said she didn't want to be engaged anymore I know that something was wrong."
After splitting from Michelle Keegan, Max went on to date The Only Way is Essex star Lucy Mecklenburgh in 2014.
At the time, Lucy described Max as the best looking guy she had ever been with.
In a weird coincidence, Lucy's ex and fellow TOWIE co-star Mark Wright met Max's ex Michelle Keegan in Dubai in the same year, with the couple later marrying in 2019.
However, Max and Lucy's love was not meant to be, and the couple split, with Max later going on to say that the split was amicable.
He told OK! Magazine: "Lucy's awesome. I'll always say nice things about Lucy, she's a top girl."
"We definitely don't see each other as exes."
Since their split, Lucy has gone on to date Coronation Street star Ryan Thomas, and in 2021, they welcomed their first child together.
Beauty Queen ex
After The Wanted split up in 2014, Max went on to pursue a solo career and moved to America, where he starred in hit television programmes including Glee.
While he was in Los Angeles, Max met beauty queen Carrie Baker in the bar Rock and Reillys and they moved in together soon afterwards.
Carrie also revealed to The Daily Mail that during their first year together, she became pregnant, but sadly had a miscarriage during the pregnancy.
The couple were together for over five years, with Max travelling back and forth from England to visit Carrie while he was working and she was training to be a nurse.
However, Max and Carrie's relationship came to an end in February 2019, when Max broke up with her on the phone.
Speaking to The Sun about their relationship following Max's appearance on Strictly Come Dancing, Carrie later warned that he may succumb to the so-called 'Strictly curse'.
She said: "Everyone knows what Strictly is like – and I know what Max is like. He's a serial flirter. I thought I was going to marry him and have his children.
"I've never been in love like that and it broke my heart when he left."
Two months after his relationship with Carrie Baker ended, Max began dating girlfriend Stacey Giggs.
They first met at V Festival in 2011, but after they were reintroduced by a mutual friend at a pub in Manchester, their romance began to blossom.
Stacey is the ex-wife of professional footballer Ryan Giggs, who she split from in 2016 following a £40 million divorce settlement, after nine years of marriage.
She also had two children, Liberty, 18, and Zachary, 14, with Ryan, with Max telling Metro that he is not trying to be their father.
He said: "I live with them. Sometimes the kids say, "When we’re asked, we don’t always know what to say about who you are.
"I’m like, 'Just say Max, that’s fine."
"I’m not a dad. I kind of blend in, I’m one of them," said Max, adding, "Stacey’s upstairs on her own and I’m down there with the kids. But it works."

Max posted a photo of a bouquet of red roses and gold balloons on his Instagram story, writing on the image "2 years @staceygiggs… I [love] you."
He also posted a photo of a card on his Instagram story, which read: "I met you, I liked you, I loved you, I'm keeping you."

Получить ключ было необходимо, но Стратмор отлично понимал, что посылать глухого киллера в севильский морг было бы настоящим самоубийством. И тогда он стал искать иные возможности. Так начал обретать форму второй план. Стратмор вдруг увидел шанс выиграть на двух фронтах сразу, осуществить две мечты, а не одну. В шесть тридцать в то утро он позвонил Дэвиду Беккеру.
Беккер позвонил одному из своих коллег: - Тебе что-нибудь известно об Агентстве национальной безопасности. Это был не первый его звонок, но ответ оставался неизменным: - Ты имеешь в виду Совет национальной безопасности. Беккер еще раз просмотрел сообщение. - Нет. Они сказали - агентство.
Ошибаешься, - возразила. - Я только что говорила с Джаббой. Он сказал, что в прошлом году сам установил переключатель. Личный помощник директора отказывался верить ее словам. - Никогда не слышал об .
Беккер вежливо улыбнулся и вышел на улицу - в душную севильскую ночь. ГЛАВА 42 Вернувшись в комнату, Сьюзан, не находя себе места, нервно ходила из угла в угол, терзаясь мыслью о том, что так и не выбрала момент, чтобы разоблачить Хейла. А тот спокойно сидел за своим терминалом.


Palestinian member of the Israeli Knesset, Masoud Ghanim, has proposed a no-confidence motion against the Israeli government.
Concerned about the critical health situation of Palestinian hunger-striking prisoners, Ghanim proposed the no-confidence vote on behalf of Arab parliamentary groups today, WAFA Palestinian News & Info Agency reports.
Ghnaim stated to the Knesset: “Dozens of Palestinian prisoners held in administrative detention have been on an open-ended hunger strike for 48 consecutive days, of whom 70 prisoners were hospitalized due to severe deterioration in their health conditions.”
“The Israeli government deals with hunger-striking prisoners in a brutal and inhuman manner. Rather than understanding their fair demands and ending administrative detention, an undemocratic practice that contradicts principles of human rights, the government has passed a bill to force-feed them.”
There are three Arab parliamentary groups in the Israeli Knesset, WAFA reports: Hadash, chaired by Hanna Swaid, the National Democratic Assembly, chaired by Jamal Zahalka, and the United Arab List with which MP Ghnaim is affiliated.


:- )) Well, I finally got around to doing a little alteration.. There are two locations that I modified :
1.There is a little piece that looks like a boomerang. The spring attaches to the bottom of this piece. I took a Dremel tool and carefully and slowly ( stopping and trying it out and measuring multiple times) removed a little metal at the "bend of the boomerang" and very slightly above the bend. In total , I removed about 0.120 inches. Not very much !!
2. On the top part of the kickstand itself , there is a little metal "bumper" that limits the forward motion of the kickstand....I carefully ground that down , too. I'm guessing that I removed about 0.100 inches but this is only a guess because it was too awkward to measure ( before and after).
3. I also sprayed a little lube on the pivot of the kickstand. It was dry and I didn't think it would hurt.
Results: Before I started, when I would use my foot to extend the kickstand...the stand would go down and stop about 3/8 inch before hitting the stop. The spring didn't have enough "pull" to pull it over center. When you used your toe to push it into place, it was just barely over center and if the bike moved at all , the stand would retract a bit....down goes the bike !
Now..... when I use my foot to extend the kickstand, it "snaps" down , into place. The stand also goes just a little further forward so that it is more "over center". I got on the bike and put the stand down and then rocked the bike forward and backward, tried to get the stand to retract by itself and couldn't make it happen !! I'm not saying it couldn't happen and I will still keep it in gear when I park it but I am much happier with it now !! By the way, the stand still snaps up when you want it to , also....... Disclaimer....I haven't ridden it since doing this.
Hope you find this interesting.... mike

Specialty film festivals can pop up in the most unlikely of places. While the the film community thinks of Dallas as a poor second cousin to Austin (not without good reason), local residents, including myself, treasure and champion the events that bring diversity to a movie-going scene too often dominated by Hollywood product. And so Friday night was a mob scene in the lobby of Landmark's Magnolia Theater as the Asian Film Festival of Dallas opened its ninth edition.
Now, to be fair, the Magnolia is often jammed up on a weekend night: the lobby is small! Yet I'm told that the official opening night film, Arvin Chen's Au Revoir Taipei, filled the room; a very decent crowd (myself included) then filed in to witness Wong Jing's I Corrupt All Cops (the best title of the year), and the midnight showing of Japanese splatter pic Robogeisha sold out, prompting management to add another theater to accommodate the overflow. (Check this revealing photo gallery from the film's screening at Fantasic Fest.)
Au Revoir Taipei is typical of foreign-language films that don't get distribution in the U.S. It's sweet, romantic, and quite commercial in nature, yet it doesn't feature any known stars and lacks an easily marketable angle. At the same time, it's the kind of audience-friendly fare that's often snubbed at the larger film festivals. Kai (Jack Yao) is learning French so he can go to Paris and reclaim his girlfriend. His unorthodox method is to study while sitting on the floor of a bookstore night after night. That gets the attention of Susie (Amber Kuo), a store clerk, but Kai ignores her until a fateful night when he's on a mission to deliver a package for Brother Bao (Frankie Kao).

Oxford Plains Speedway is a 3/8 mile racetrack in Oxford, Maine, USA. Maine is the northeastern-most state of the United States, and the 14,000-seat Oxford Plains Speedway is the biggest public facility in the Pine Tree State.
Established in 1950, the track was originally a half mile. In 1961 the track was revamped as a one-third-mile paved oval with wide-open turns. Three years later Maine businessman Bob Bahre purchased the track and began a program of improvements to the facility that included a modern large-capacity grandstand. With the widening of the backstretch during a 1992 repaving, the track assumed its current 3/8th-mile configuration.

Belle watched her father worriedly. King Maurice studied a map, his advisors behind him. Her fiancee, Gaston, was also looking at the map intently, his bushy brown brows furrowed together.
"The ogres are coming closer, Your Majesty," Maurice's top advisor stated. "Do you think we can hold them off?"
"Ogres are not men," said Maurice, wearily.
"If only he had come," Gaston's voice had no hope in it. Belle knew very well who he was talking about. Rumpelstiltskin...the Dark One...the most powerful man in all of this land. The only person who could help them because of his power.
"Well, he didn't," Maurice's voice was full of hate for the one creature who could have helped him, but didn't. He sat on his throne and buried his face in his hands.
Belle's heart went out to her father; she desperately wanted to make him feel better. Women were supposed to be seen and not heard, just like children, but she was a daring young woman. She knelt down at her father's feet and voiced her thoughts aloud, a little timidly.
"He could be on his way right now, Papa."
Maurice lifted hs head up to look at his beloved brunette daughter. He looked straight into her lovely blue eyes, and opened his mouth to tell her the desperate truth. No use hiding it from her.
"It's just too late, Belle." His voice was weary. "It's just...too late." He raised out a hand to stroke her head to try to comfort her for the last time.
Suddenly, a great banging broke out, as if someone were trying to break the door down by knocking on it. Everyone jumped, Belle and Maurice to their feet.
Belle's blue eyes filled with hope. "It must be him! It HAS to be!"
Gaston, however, was not convinced. "How could he get past the walls?" he marvelled.
"Open the doors!" Maurice commanded. They all drew near as two knights removed a wooden piece from the door which had been put in place to protect the royals. Gaston drew out his sword.
The knights threw the doors open. Standing there was...no one. One of the advisors started to cry out, "Whaa...?" and then stopped himself. Belle looked at her father as if to ask him the question that was on everyone's minds: Who could have been at the door who would have gone away right afterwards?
"Well, that was a bit of let-down," came a voice from behind them.
Everyone swivelled around. Sitting on Maurice's throne was a freak-ish-looking man. His hair almost looked as if it were made of snakes, his skin looked like the rough skin of a toad with gold specks on it. His jacket was made of red leather, the collar standing straight up. The shirt underneath was made of a silver and black design.
It was Rumpelstiltskin himself.
They were all still gaping at this creature, so Rumpelstiltskin went on.
"You sent me a message?" he prodded. "Something about 'Help, help! We're dying! Can you save us?' " he mimicked in a way that would have been almost funny if the situation weren't so dark.
Gaston had pointed his sword towards the creature, and now Rumpelstiltskin stood up towards it.
"And my answer is..." He slapped at the flat of Gaston's sword to make the young man lower it. "...Yes."
Belle suddenly realized she had been holding her breath. It came out now in a woosh.
"Yes, I can protect your little kingdom," Rumpelstiltskin assured them with a devilish grin on his face. He stalked a little farther down the room, and then turned around and faced the king and his daughter. "For a price."
"We sent you a promise of gold," King Maurice took a brave step towards the creature. His plump face was pleading.
"Ah...but you see, I make gold." Rumpelstiltskin winked at the king. "So that obviously wouldn't be worth anything to me. What I want is something a bit more special."
To Belle's horror, the face of a devil looked right at her and an all-powerful finger pointed at her. "What I want - is her."
"No!" King Maurice looked at Rumpelstiltksin with a look of disgust on his face.
Gaston put a protective arm on Belle's shoulder. "The young lady is engaged....to me."
"I wasn't asking if she was engaged," Rumpelstiltskin mimicked Gaston's deep voice. "I wasn't asking for her...love," he added, the last word coming out in a tone of almost disgust. He crossed the little group again and then turned and faced them.
"I'm looking for a caretaker, for my rather large estate." He made a flourish with his hands. "It's her...or no deal."
"Get out," the king hissed. When Rumpelstiltskin made no move, the king shouted, "Leave!"
Belle could feel nothing but horror. This creature wanted her as a servant - the only thing she could think about on that matter was disgust. But this was the only chance from saving her family and friends from becoming ogre food. The only thing standing in between life or death for them was her.
"Wait!" she almost shrieked the words in her anxiety and desperation to make this foul creature stay and hear her words.
Rumpelstiltskin paused in mid-stride.
Belle ducked from underneath Gaston's arm and hurried towards him. "I..." the words caught in her throat, but she needed to get them out. HAD to get them out. "...I will go with you."
His eyebrows lifted in almost surprise. "It's for forever, dearie."
Belle had to take a good grip on her almost-failing courage in order not to scream or faint or do anything of the sort. "My family..." She tried to hide the hesitation in her voice. "My friends...they will all live?"
The vile creature made another flourish with his hands. It irritated Belle very much. "You have my word."
"Then you have mine," Belle said, quietly. She hated the words coming out of her own mouth, but relished them also a little bit in the back of her mind. Now that this was over with, she felt a little bit like one of the heroes in her books. Well, they were always men, of course, but, well...
|Rumple's "mock horror" face|
Belle stroked her father's arm with love. "Father...Gaston...it's been decided," she told the two men with a firmness in her voice that almost surprised her.
"You know...she's right." Belle was filled with disgust to realize that Rumpelstitlskin's voice was coming from a place right behind her.
Belle was sure that everyone in the room was feeling the same final-ness as she as Rumpelstiltskin said the words that ended the conversation.
"The deal...is struck."

OPPO A71 (3GB) is a game changer on budget
In the OPPO A71 (3GB), the new AI technology driving software enables a slew of features that go beyond photography features.
Artificial Intelligence is easily the new staple feature on the smartphones in 2018 and the OPPO F5 was the first to debut with AI from OPPO’s stable. From facial recognition for security to voice assistants for shopping, these fancy features are AI-powered through specialized software and hardware. The OPPO A71 (3GB) is one such marvel loaded with the new AI Beauty Technology promising better photos and perfect selfies among many things.
That is one of the things giving OPPO A71 (3GB) an edge over Samsung Galaxy J7 Nxt and Xiaomi Redmi 4. The head-to-head specs comparison of all three shows OPPO A71 (3GB) having the upper hand, thanks to the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 mobile processor.
Fancy New Chipset
Inside the OPPO A71 (3GB) is the new octa-core 1.8GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 chipset. This new Snapdragon 450 is made using the 14nm FinFET fabrication technology carrying a design that aims at a high performance at lower power consumption. The eight ARM Cortex A53 CPU cores made it possible by efficiently managing resources based on on-demand scenarios. The new integrated X9 LTE modem offers better data speeds on the LTE networks. The Snapdragon 450 uses Adreno 506 GPU to deliver PC-grade graphics by supporting games in acceleration modes (select games only), improved imaging quality and hassle-free 1080p playback.
The Snapdragon 450 chip totting OPPO A71 (3GB) gets a lead over the Samsung Galaxy J7 Nxt and Xiaomi Redmi 4. Check out the comparison infographic below.
Impressive photos powered by AI Beauty Technology
OPPO integrates the AI Beauty Technology that carries a unique software capable of optimising the facial features to churn out refined yet natural looking photos. The AI Beauty Technology swoops in mostly while taking selfies. Go a step further by using the Bokeh Effect and enjoy the 5MP front-facing camera focus only on your face to enhance the vivid details while the background is pleasantly out of focus. And thereby results in a sharper and more natural looking selfies.
All that is possible since the image enhancing algorithms the skin tone, age, gender, and type to match it with global image database and after that make beautification enhancements. That large image database serves as a reference point to intelligently assess the lighting conditions and your natural features for smartly tweaking the brightness as well as tone in the photos.
Under challenging conditions, the Multi-Frame Denoising Technology smartly wards of the noise by capturing as much data as possible to delivery clearer low-light images. Not only that, you can take several photos using the 13MP camera and combine them to make a larger 32MP one. All that happens in the background thanks to the Ultra HD Technology.All the AI-driven imaging features put OPPO A71 (3GB) ahead of its rivals Samsung Galaxy J7 Nxt and Xiaomi Redmi 4, which feature a 13MP camera as well.
A design that is easy to eyes and smooth software
OPPO A71 (3GB) carries a stylish outlook with no sharp edges anywhere. The rounded corners and gently curved back are a recipe for a pain-free grip. The A71 (3GB) features a unibody made of metal and glass. The metallic unibody which comes in gold and black gives strength and durability to the phone. The 5.2-inch glass display supports 720p HD resolution for sharp visuals. Especially with the games, apps, and multimedia running on the ColorOS 3.2 based on the Android 7.1 Nougat. The ColorOS 3.2 by default offers faster app launching and spiffy performance in over 150 different usage scenarios.
An AI technology that personalizes your smartphone experience
In the OPPO A71 (3GB), the new AI technology driving software enables a slew of features that go beyond photography features. The AI-based learning engine analyses and predicts your usage pattern to intelligently cleaning and freezing of background apps. That means you can enjoy games and videos without worrying about the background apps draining your phone's battery. While gaming in the acceleration mode, the system automatically focuses on the network quality to minimize latency issues. A kind of ’do not disturb' mode kicks in by limiting the calls and messages as banners while not pausing your game.
A refined and clutter free OS
The ColorOS 3.2 allows you to apply rich labels and assign keywords so that you can get relevant photos whenever you perform a simple search. Of course, not all photos need to be on your phone for the very AI-based software smartly identifies the unused or rarely accessed pictures and backs them up to your OPPO Cloud account. That's how you free up storage space on your phone and still get to check out relevant images without missing out on any.
The ColorOS 3.2 brings several improvisations while being clean, spiffy, and bloatware-free while being fluid all the time. By using AI beyond photography, OPPO A71 (3GB) ekes out a better overall unmatched performance when pitted against the Samsung Galaxy J7 Nxt and Xiaomi Redmi 4.

After 1920, Durruti became a prominent leader of the Spanish anarchists, directing their fighting organization. He was very popular among the workers. Durruti was sentenced to death on numerous occasions. On July 19-20, 1936, Durruti was instrumental in routing the fascist revolt in Barcelona and then commanded one of the columns on the Aragon front. In the first months of the civil war of 1936-39, Durruti led the revolutionary elements of the anarcho-syndicalists and supported the unity of the workers’ movement and the creation of a regular army. In November 1936 he participated in the defense of Madrid as the commander of the column of Catalonian anarchists. He was treacherously murdered from behind while positioning his column on the Madrid front.

I only meant in the simplist terms that it is a faster .355 caliber cartridge. It wasn't meant in a negative way, nor to take anything away from the 357SIG as compared to anything else.
Can you be more specific where you say; "The velocity issues do matter." ???

As Democrats take another shot at Bilk Back Better, it could mean higher taxes for millions.
President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats are working feverishly to pass a $1 trillion spending package before the August recess. This casserole of madness, sometimes referred to as Build Back Lighter, is another tired attempt to push through climate and energy legislation and other items that were part of the Build Back Better boondoggle that was beaten back last year by 50 Senate Republicans and a lone Democrat: West Virginia’s Joe Manchin.
When it comes to spending, though, Democrats don’t take “no” for an answer. And if they get 50 “yes” votes this time, we’ll all pay for it.
As with BBB, Democrats plan to “pay for” BBL with a slew of tax increases that will hit small businesses and middle-class taxpayers hardest. You know, the very people Biden said he’d protect from tax hikes. Millions of Americans knew better than to trust him, but that didn’t stop Leftmedia “fact-checkers” from rushing to his defense every time someone warned he’d raise taxes.
Congress’s Joint Committee on Taxation analyzed the tax impact of BBL at the request of congressional Republicans. Tax increases tied to the bill include a 15% minimum tax on corporate income over $1 billion, a 5% surtax on income over $10 million, an 8% surtax on income over $25 million, and a 1% surtax on corporate stock buybacks.
Democrats also created a 3.8% “net investment income tax” on pass-through income over $400,000. Pass-through income is money that passes through a business to its owner and is taxed as individual income. Pass-through businesses are generally sole proprietorships, partnerships, and S-corporations and LLCs. These make up approximately 95% of all business entities in the U.S. and include most small business owners.
That’s a lot of new taxes — and they’ll hit taxpayers hard. Next year, those earning between $50,000 and $100,000 would pay $5.2 billion more in taxes. Taxpayers falling in the $75,000-$100,000 bracket and the $100,000-$200,000 bracket would also pay more. Over 10 years, about 30% of the revenue raised will come from those making less than $400,000 per year.
It says a lot about the state of mind of people like Joe Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer that they think passing this package will help them in November. Perhaps they missed the historic 9.1% inflation rate now saddling the economy, or the record-high gas and grocery prices that people are struggling to cover.
Thankfully, Senator Manchin has introduced a dose of common sense here. Manchin told Schumer recently that he won’t support any measure that includes climate and energy provisions or higher taxes. And no Manchin, no BBL.
Not surprisingly, Manchin is being vilified by everyone to the left of him. Progressives are blaming him for singlehandedly relegating the world to a warmer future. Vermont socialist Senator Bernie Sanders blew a gasket on the Sunday talk-show circuit, claiming that Manchin is “intentionally sabotaging” Biden’s agenda. Sanders also laughably claimed that his colleague represents the very wealthy, not the people of West Virginia.
Sanders might be dismayed to learn that Manchin is actually quite popular back home, and probably more popular nationally than Sanders. But leave it to a “progressive” to blame his failures on someone else. In any case, Manchin told Schumer that he’ll support a bill that extends federal health insurance subsidies and keeps pharmaceutical prices under control. But that’s as far as he’s willing to go.
In other words, it sounds like BBL is dead on arrival. And that would be great news for your family’s tax bill.

Sunset Rubdown Montreal QC October 3 to 7
Published Oct 30, 2007Some acts belong entirely in their own class and Sunset Rubdown are quickly approaching such elite status. Playing mostly songs from their excellent new album, the band demonstrated greater cohesion as a group, as well as a thrilling degree of instrumental growth, particularly in the beat department. Any awkward shyness in the banter was rendered moot by the groups gleefully idiosyncratic prog-pop masterpieces. The crowd, expecting a headlining slot, clearly agreed, pestering Krug and crew for an encore to the point where Spencer actually had to tell the crowd to "fuck off, were really out of time.
