When the event began in 1980, says Audubon Community Engagement Manager Ruth Smith, it was little more than a summer kickoff party for nature enthusiasts. Two teams participated, and their survey consisted of traversing the coastline for the day and then meeting at Rye Beach to celebrate, fresh-poured pink lemonade in hand.
Modest though the event was, the group still surveyed more than 130 species that day and raised $3,000 for the Audubon — money that eventually launched NH Audubon’s Endangered Species Program. A tradition had begun.
Today, Birdathon and its sister event, Bloomathon, takes place in nearly every corner of the state, with annual fundraising totals in the five digits and participants spotting birds from robins and sparrows to peregrine falcons.
The way it works these days is essentially as follows: You create a team of 2-6 people or join a group through your local Audubon outpost, you solicit pledges for the Audubon department of your choice, and then you pick your survey area and get birding. Though there are small prizes for those who spot the most species or raise the most money, Birdathon is entirely what you make it — whether that’s driving around the whole state in a 24-hour search or gathering the kids and watching the feeder in your backyard over lunch. Birdwatching offers something for everyone, and, in recent years, outdoor enthusiasts have taken notice.
Drinking and driving? Bad idea. Drinking and birding? Better.
If you like your nature time to come hand in hand with craft brew, check out NH Audubon’s second-coolest event of the month: Birds and Beers.
Seasoned birder Paul LaCourse will lead participants in the two halves of this popular day. In the morning, you’ll do some birdwatching in Odiorne State Park, and, in the afternoon, you’ll do some beer-sampling at Smuttynose Brewing Company in Hampton.
Bird lovers of all ages are welcome to attend, but brews are reserved for ages 21 and up.
Birds and Beers will be held on May 6 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., beginning at Odiorne State Park, 570 Ocean Blvd., Rye.
“Birdwatching or ‘birding,’ as we like to call it, is said to be one of the fastest-growing hobbies in the country,” says Smith. “People are looking for opportunities to get outside, enjoy the natural environment and to be with other people. Wherever you go, there are likely to be birds.”
Glued-to-their-phone types can add bird identifying apps and rare species alerts to their birding, while environmentalists can enjoy the sport in the knowledge that their observations can help the experts keep tabs on changes in the local ecosystem. Those with limited mobility (or limited patience for subjects that keep flying away) can opt into the floral end of things, where the stationary wildflowers provide an easy target to observe, count and report.
If you’re ready to sign up for Birdathon/Bloomathon, registration is available at nhaudubon.org. Your one day of birdwatching can help raise critical funds for NH Audubon’s work protecting our environment for wildlife and for people, and it’s a sure bet you’ll have a good time too.
Through Birdathon, Smith says, “We have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for endangered species and other work that we do, and, I think just as importantly, we’ve been able to engage thousands of people in getting out and birding. At the end of every Birdathon day, one of my teammates always says, ‘Why don’t we do this more often? This is so fun!’”
By the end of your first Birdathon/Bloomathon, you may just be saying the very same thing.

In a pageant of shimmering colour, Nick Howson chronicles the fabled events of times past and present. Many of the works reference memories of a journey he made through ancient lands and the art treasures encountered there. The awe and inspiration Howson derived from seeing firsthand, the architectural marvels and their stained-glass windows, mosaics and medieval icons remain undiminished to this day. Places closer to his home in Melbourne, as well as the unexpected beauty of Australia's hazy, bleached landscapes also continue to provide bountiful stimuli.
The painting Calling, heralds what may be discovered by 'quiet contemplation' of Howson's art. Manifesting amidst richly variegated fields, an emblematic bird - its beak wide open - supplicates some unseen creative force. Laden with inherent symbolism, Kingdom is the most vibrantly coloured piece. Against a sumptuous crimson ground, a mighty lion pauses and directly regards the viewer. "King of the beasts", the lion is associated with royalty, victory, dominion and the embodiment of not only earthly power but messianic, spiritual power as well. This lion carries on his back the "Celestial City" or Kingdom to come.
Howson's portrayal of the Madonna and Child has a similarly equivocal context. In patterns over patterns, the figures merge with and materialise from the Arcardian scene. The throne or 'seat of wisdom' upon which she sits, and the garden setting, recall Mediaeval depictions of the Virgin. In those times, meditation retreats called 'Mary Gardens' represented the Paradise that had been lost and a sanctuary where the soul could be cultivated. Here, in the Madonna and Child garden, the same two trees that appear in Calling and Kingdom once again stand verdant with new life. Howson has placed a rose in the Madonna's hand to complete the symbolic idyll.
In other works, two riders traverse different centuries and lands to present the 'Word' by very different means. Across a red terrain the Crusader gallops on a curiously jade-coloured steed. Proud and purposeful, with the flag of the French Crusaders streaming aloft, he is markedly distinct and apart from his surrounds. The image of Mary MacKillop is altogether less bold. Seated demurely in sidesaddle position, she is on a gentler mission. Howson's interest in the recently canonised saint was kindled when learning that Mary MacKillop was born in nearby Fitzroy and that she had reputedly made teaching expeditions to NW Victoria - an area he has often visited. The piece also offers a subtle linking to the rest of the paintings in the exhibition where the simple, visual elements of Australian town and country life are explored.
Although allegory and history inform the imagery, narrative has never been his primary focus. Howson’s concern lies more in using them as vehicles for abstract investigations into colour value and pictorial structure. The scumbling of multiple layers of oil pigment into coarsely textured Belgium linen creates Howson's signature, indefinite atmospheres. By employing the flat, two-dimensional format of ancient and mediaeval art forms, all extraneous detail is pared away leaving the viewer free to respond to compositional and colour relationships. Calm, hieratic and luminous, Howson's paintings project an untroubled sense of wholeness. They "offer us a glimpse of a universe into which we can move without strain." Masterful reflections of order, his works have all the dignity, meaning and permanence of the classical and mediaeval artforms that inspired them.

The challenges facing Ghana’s economy are creating turmoil on the labour front as workers demand an increase in remuneration.
Recent rapid increases in the price of commodities are fueling agitations from labour unions who are asking for a corresponding e.
This has led to a declaration of war by the Trades Union Congress (TUC) for a 19% increase in the minimum wage and about a 20% increase in salary for public sector workers.
“We are going to make sure that minimum wage for workers for this year should not be below inflation, and this would be extended to public sector workers as well, so there is a battle ahead of us, and I can see organised labour is ready to fight and we are going to do that,” declared Dr. Yaw Baah, Secretary-General of TUC last Thursday.
The declaration came ahead of the commencement of today’s meeting of the Tripartite Committee, made up of government, organized labour, and employers, which negotiates annual salary adjustment.
But the Ghana Employers Association has hinted that employers cannot afford a high pay increase due to the economic downturn that is affecting businesses.
According to the  businesses would collapse if they are forced to pay higher salaries.
Similarly, Benjamin Arthur sustainable pay increase and urged organised labour against holding an entrenched position in the negotiations.
But the TUC remains adamant, as its various units, including GNAT, NAGRAT and GMA appear resolute to push for a higher pay rise.
Meanwhile, are on strike as they lock horns with the government demanding the payment of a controversial Neutrality Allowance the government agreed to offer them.
In the midst of the agitations, labour management expert, Austin Gamey, has called for calm and urged all parties to negotiate the issues and their interests in good faith.

The first thing I assume i need to do is convert kPa but I have not found that in my book... I know that pressure = Force/surface area = mg/A. I could use that formula to solve for mass?
240kPa = (m x 9.8 m/s^2)/2.2 m^2
2) A balloon has a radius of 7.35 m and is filled with helium. How large a cargo can it lift, assuming that the skin and structure of the balloon has a mass of 930 kg. (Neglect the buoyant force on the cargo volume itself).920 kg
r = 7.35 m, m = 930 kg, cargo mass = ? Again I have no idea how to attempt this. This chapter has been extremely hard for me.
3) What is the likely idenity of a metal if a sample has a mass of 63.5g when measured in air and an apparent mass of 55.4 g when submerged in water?
How do we use the two masses given to find out that it has that density. I have no idea's about this one.
The answer is iron/steel
jrd007, Nov 30, 2005
kPa = Kilo Pascal
Pascal = 1 Newton/meter^2
so you have your pressure in N/m^2 and your area is in cm^2 so you can easily change area from cm^2 to m^2
SoccaCrazy24, Nov 30, 2005
Yes I know but I mean the kPa part. I know that 220 cm^2 = 2.2 m^2.
Would 240kPa = 240/1000 = .24 Pa = .24 N/m^2
So would it be .24 N/m^2 x 2.2 m^2 = m(9.8) ?
because that does not work...
ok well... kilo means thousand so you dont divide bya 1000... you multiply by a thousand.... and you also have to remember there are 4 tires supporting a car so you have to account for all 4 tires... but im unsure of whether you converted your area correctly because its squared... so you cant just divide by 100 if i am not mistaken
Actually there is an example in my book and it has m^2.
24,0000 Pa x 2.2 m^s = 4m x 9.8 m/s^s
so if I divide both sides by 9.8 and 4 m I get 13,469... that is not correct.
* 1 Pa = 1 N/m^2
1 kPa = 1 kN/m² = 1000 N/m²
1 cm = 1/100 of 1 m
1 cm² = 1/100² of 1 m²
220 cm² = 220/100² of 1 m²
220 cm² = 0.022 m²
You know the pressure, and you can work out the total area from the 4 footprints, so using F = PA, you can get the total force provided by the pressure in the tyres, hence the weight of the car.
As Fermat's noted, understand the units conversion first. Then apply
Fgrav = 4PA
For your other problems, apply the concept of the buoyant force. The buoyant force acting on any object submerged in a fluid (including air) is the weight of the displaced fluid.
[tex]F_B = \rho V g[/tex]
where rho indicates the fluid's density, and V is the volume of the object.
You can use the buoyant force in a force diagram like you would any other. For example in your third question, you have the condition:
[tex]F_{net} = 0 = F_{grav} - T - F_B[/tex]
[tex] P= \frac {m g} A [/tex]
The first step is to solve for the quanity you need, that is mass. so:
[tex] m = \frac {PA} g [/tex]
you have P= 240kPa
and A = 220 cm2 for EACH TIRE. How many tires are on the average car?
How many cm2 in 1 m2?
Integral, Nov 30, 2005
So taking acrea of number 1 - m=PA/g = (4 x 240,000)(.022m)/
= 2155 = 2.2 x 10^3 N!
Wow. I cannot believe it was that simple.
#2) I use [tex]F_B = \rho V g[/tex] some how.
I can figure out the volume by the equation (4/3)(pie)(r)^3
jrd007, Dec 1, 2005
You calculate the buoyant force, using that formula. (You'll need the density of air.) That buoyant force must support the weight of the balloon structure, the helium inside the balloon (what's the density of helium?), plus any added cargo. Set up the equation to solve for the maximum cargo that the balloon can lift.
airs denisty = 1.29, helium's = 0.179
so I add those denisties together and then solve for Fb?
Why would you add the densities? The buoyant force is the weight of the displaced fluid, which, in this case, is air.
(1.29)(1662)(9.8) = Fb
= 21011 N for a boyancy force.
But how does thi shelp me with the mass of the cargo?
The buoyant force is the upward force on the balloon. When maximally loaded, that upward force will be balanced by the downward forces. One of those downward forces is the weight of the cargo.
So I do something w/ the denisty of helium? Correct?
Find it's force? but how? And then once I have heliums I can minus the two forces to get the cargo mass?
There are three "parts" to the balloon/cargo system: the helium, the balloon structure, and the cargo. It is their weight that pulls the system down. You'll need the density of helium to find the weight of the helium.
As I previously stated the denisty of helium is 0.179
weight of balloon = (930 kg)(9.8) = 9114 N
F(boyancy) = 21011 N
How do I change helium, by using denisty, into a mass?
What's the definition of density?
Mass/volume.

Marc Joseph Bijman is organizing this fundraiser.
(Photo above from the 2017 trip) I am currently in my fourth and final year as a chiropractic am one of 11 lucky interns who have been selected to travel to the Dominican Republic from April 3rd to April 14th to participate in a chiropractic treatment outreach.
This outreach abroad is an opportunity for meand provide chiropractic care to people in need in a developing nation. It gives me a chance to apply my diagnostic and treatment skills that I have been developing over the past four years at CMCC to a variety of patients and conditions. Most patients receive little to no medical care outside of their interaction with us on this trip. The patient’s are incredible grateful, with long lineups to obtain the care. The photo attached is of the outstanding group that attended the 2017 trip.
I am so honoured to be able to bring my passion for chiropractic and health care to the people of the Dominican Republic. I hope to gain tremendous insight on the profession whilst bettering the lives (if only for a short period of time) of the native Dominican families.
I appreciate your help in allowing me to realize some of my dreams.


Change and Reform: No One Can Challenge us in our Support for Saudi Arabia
The Change and Reform bloc defended on Tuesday the stances of Foreign Minister Jebran Bassil at the Arab League and rejected criticism that Lebanon violated Arab consensus on regional affairs linked to Saudi Arabia.
“We always seek Arab consensus and hope this issue will be kept away from the media spotlight,” he continued.
In January, Bassil had abstained from voting on Arab League and world Muslim body statements condemning attacks by protesters on Saudi Arabia's embassy and consulate in Iran. The minister had objected to a phrase describing Hizbullah as “terrorist” in the Arab League statement.
Soon after the statement was issued, Bassil announced that given the choice between “Arab consensus and national unity, we side with national unity.”
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!
He MUST be kidding.

Love your blog. In Canada we watch American politics with a sort of horrified fascination (not that we’re immune from ridiculous politics up here). I knew when Obama was elected that the country wasn’t being totally taken over by right-wing mental cases with guns, but hearing the rhetoric now (because he didn’t wave a magic wand and fix 8 years of Bush destruction in 3 years) is really scary.  I cannot believe that people take Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich, and…Mitt Romney? seriously. Why do poor Americans vote for rich Republicans who will crush them like bugs?

As far as your original question goes, It won't hurt anything to put the foam in. Your board will be a little heavier and cost more and you'll have a bunch more work to do, but at the end of the day you'll have a nice SUP. On the other hand, the Kaholo doesn't really need the foam in most circumstances. Unless you're going to be using it in really rough surf with lots of very sharp rocks, you'll be fine without it.
Have fun with your build,

But there is an interesting parallel to another passage of Scripture between God’s commission of the prophet Ezekiel, and God’s re-commissioning of the Apostle John.
For myself this voice is God’s. I come to this conclusion for several reasons.
Next God’s voice is often referred to as thunder.
, trying to figure out just what was God said in these seven thunders is the height of arrogance, because God commanded them to be sealed.
Further, looking at God’s purpose for these judgments is so rebellious humanity could repent and come back to the Lord, but now it seems the time for that to happen is at an end.
There’s a verse in Romans that has always bothered me.
Therefore they go deeper and deeper into unrighteousness.
If you’ve come thinking that you’ve blown it so bad that God will never forgive you, then know that God isn’t finished yet, and He’s calling out to you and has placed into your heart the need to repent and turn your life back over to Him.
But here in Revelation the time has now run out. God has done everything He possibly can to get rebellious humanity to turn from their sins and still they refuse, and so the pronouncement is that the time for repentance is over, and that the last of the woes, the seventh trumpet judgment is about to sound, and its judgment is the worse than all the ones before it, and that’s because it contains the seven bowl or vial judgments of God.
Through this angel and the eating of this little book, the Lord re-commissions John. This is interesting because John already is a minister and a prophet of God’s word, so why now?
The Bereans were consider more noble minded than those from Thessalonica, because they received God’s word readily, but also made sure that everything Paul said was in accordance with God’s word (Acts 17:10-11).
Please don’t settle for only the predigested food you receive here on Sunday mornings, or at one of our other services. What you hear from me I’ve read, studied, and digested. Therefore, what I’m giving back to you is what I’ve already digested, that is, I’m regurgitating it back up for your consumption. Hope that doesn’t hurt your lunch plans.
But then I’d be going directly against God’s word and His calling.
T.
But.
I believe God wants to re-commission His church, and the church is no one less than you and me.

First, He shows that all the things he says of Christ were came not to establish an earthly kingdom for anyone’s worldly security and prosperity. He came to save His people from their sins by sacrificing Himself on the cross. Taking the sins of His people on Himself, He suffered and died for them. Giving His righteousness to them, He restores them to fellowship with God, now and forever. </s> Last night O and I had a mini date night with a stop at Urban Taco for dinner and heavens to betsy that dos equis amber barbacoa taco is delightful!!

-Claire </s> Hello world! March 26, 2017 admin Uncategorized 1 Welcome to We Gate going to the grocery store. Actually, that’s not quite true. I enjoy grocery shopping early on a week-day morning, when the air is cool and the store aisles aren’t packed with crazy people. But I’m not always able to go during the week, and I refuse to go anytime after 4pm. It’s been known to happen, but only under extreme duress. Or the knowledge that we’ll have no milk for cereal the next morning.
But no more. While I was looking for an app to put on my Android phone for a to-do list, I ran across an app called Out of Milk (at the moment it’s not available for iPhone). It’s got a shopping list, to-do list, and pantry inventory. The thing that I really like about the app, however, is that it has a website that makes it easier to make your lists, and that you can share your lists with anyone you choose. Syncing your phone with your web account is a one-time $5 fee per phone, but in my opinion it’s totally worth it. So, I can ask Decoder Man to go to the store, update the list on my computer at home, and then he can sync the list once he’s at the store, and get exactly what’s on the list. Assuming he understands what I put on it.
Ah. Well. But it would be handy to have such a gadget. Especially color-coded.
Alright sister. You’ve heard me laugh out loud. Remember those times at the school office? Well, here I sit, early in the morning (hey – for our house, it’s early!), enjoying my coffee and a great, I mean GREAT laugh! Can’t tell ya how many times the essentials haven’t made it home, but by gosh we have every Curious George movie known to man. And, like you I abhor grocery shopping unless I am by myself and we have a bottomless checking account. Still laughing… this blog is awesome.
Really cute! Although I don’t always do lists and use my phone as little as possible, I enjoyed seeing how inventive and helpful they can be if you’re not technology


We have talked about change a lot in the last few months. I admit that it has really been on my mind and in my heart particularly after I decided in the late fall that I would leave you at the end of June. That is coming up pretty quick now, isn't it?
"Don't look back – you can never look back where you've been. You can only look where you're going."
The book of Genesis does not tell us her name, as is often the case with female characters in Bible stories. She is just "Lot's wife." Some Jewish Midrash refers to her as Edith. Midrash is a tradition that tries to fill in some of the gaps in the ancient stories; sort of a description of what might also have been happening that can help explain the story better. Anyway, as the story goes, Edith and Lot were fleeing the city of Sodom right before it was to be destroyed. They were told not to look back. Edith looked back anyway and God turned her into a pillar of salt. Why did she look back?Was she having a hard time letting go of what her life had been in that city?
It tousled Terry's hair. He smiled. Another gust, cooler, caused me to stop. Christian hollered and tossed his t-shirt high above our heads, and for a moment it rode the wind out beyond the bridge. I shut my eyes, threw open my arms, wide, and let that same wind rush across my skin. Then, with eyes open, we stepped forward."

European biotechs outperform US for investment return, report claims
Published on 29/11/17 at 04:52pm
A new report from RSA Group has revealed that European biotech companies are “significantly outperforming” their US counterparts in terms of returning greater investment value, according to the performance of their boards, CEOs and chairs.
Using this methodology, the 20 most successful boards behind leading companies on both sides of the Atlantic were identified in the three year period up until June 2017. The findings are contrary to the generally accepted status quo, and stand as a caution to overly simplistic financial readings of the industry.

Mr Shorten was backing Victorian Opposition Leader Daniel Andrews' plan to remove 50 of Melbourne's worst level crossings.
Asked if he supported Mr Andrews' plan to scrap contracts for the East West Link road project if Labor wins the election, Mr Shorten said he supported Mr Andrews becoming premier of Victoria.
"There is one federal leader in Australian politics taking part in this federal (sic) election and it is not Tony Abbott," Mr Shorten said, meaning the Victorian election.
Mr Shorten said he has lived in Melbourne his whole life whereas Mr Abbott "doesn't know Victoria".

We are slowly but surely making our new house our home. The upstairs is completely unboxed and livable with the exception of our "good dinnerware" (I am working hard on trying to figure out a logical storage solution for this) and some of the newborn and baby items, that I have yet to sort through before the baby comes. Our rooms are completely lacking anything decorative, which I am fine with- for now...Believe me, I am itching to decorate, but come on, I have to get out of boxes first!We are not wasting any time on some updates to the house though- the first thing we did was buy a new faucet for the kitchen. The one that is there is usable but broken. We purchased a new one and just need to install it. I will try to remember to take a before and after shot!The next thing on our list was garage door openers. The garage currently doesn't have openers (amazing for this day and age!) and so we decided to bust a move and get some installed now because of the coinciding arrival of a newborn and Seattle's rainy season!The last thing that I need is a cold, wet, screaming baby, a cold, wet, screaming toddler, and wet and soggy groceries, leading to a cold, wet, screaming mother...Also in the cards for us is a little modification to the railing along the living room/stair opening. The slats are at least 8 inches apart from each other!That is enough for Harris to put his entire body through!We figured we should get on top of that project too...

Q: Is there a NuGet equivalent for deploying content to end users? I have a c# application and I am mainly concerned with pushing out automatic updates to clients running my software. These updates can be anything from a new / patched dll to new resource file.
I see that programs like NotePad++ have a dedicated updater, but I'm hoping that I can piggy back from others as opposed to rolling my own updater from scratch.
A: There are a few different ones you can check out.
https://www.nuget.org/packages/NuGetUpdate/
Would recommend this one, as last time I opened a ticket he addressed it almost immediately.
None of them will be a 100% drop in solution because application updating is one of those things that's hard to generalize.
1) Use http://www.myget.org to host my updates, and roll my own system that downloads/restarts/updates things.
*If there is an update, download it.
*If it exists, install it silently
In the end though, none of those frameworks will 100% fit your needs, because no scenario is the same, hopefully they get you most of the way though.
Chocolatey is a wrapper around nuget for installing apps, similar to the likes of app-get in the Linux world. It is a tool to wrap around all sorts of installers.

when over a few weeks ago i saw a sign at ionian tours ( i think ) and they were offering £5 transfer !
Cheap isn't always best. I think Gordion charge £7.50 per person on the shuttle and £35 for two people on the personal transport and I'm going for the latter from now on. I cannot be bothered with waiting around, dropping off and picking up people that happens on the shuttle. Another company once wanted to pick us up in Altinkum 6 hrs before my flight!
May I ask has anyone transferred from Dalaman to Tinky, who did you use and was it a horrendous journey, thanks folks!

With all subscription-based streaming services now allowing for multiple streams, it makes sense to spread the love.
We’re in the golden age of television, folks. There’s hardly a week goes by without Amazon releasing an Original series, or Netflix dropping yet another show that’s the best thing since that slice of bread that looked like Jesus.
It’s easy to see why you would want to share your streaming passwords. Financially? Makes sense. If you’re a TV fan, who can’t keep up with the cost of multiple subscriptions and simply *have* to rewatch The Sopranos AGAIN? Makes sense.
But here’s what’s what: these companies allow for multiple streams on one subscription. But they’re not exactly giddy at the thought of you dishing out your login details to people if you don’t live in the same house.
If you do? You’re not alone. A Consumer Reports study from 2014 showed that 46% of adults shared their log-ins for streaming services with people outside of their home.
And yes, while it is highly unlikely you’ll get a visit from the cops because you’ve given your Hulu password to grandma (she’s desperate to catch up on Grey’s Anatomy), does it violate Hulu’s policy?
Here’s the lowdown on each of the biggest streaming services and what their password-sharing policies are.
Amazon Prime’s streaming parameters are clear.
I didn’t know about this until last year but it also makes Christmas shopping way easier now that your partner can’t see what you’ve bought for them.
You can watch The Matrix, your mom can watch Star Trek Beyond and your sister can watch Aeon Flux, but you can’t all watch Aeon Flux. So at least there’s a silver lining.
The official policy says an HBO Now subscription “applies to your entire household.” The definition of a household isn’t expanded upon, allowing for you to get creative in who you’d like to dish out your password to.
What is that number? Three. You can share your login with however many people you like, but make sure that the amount of people streaming doesn’t go above three, otherwise everyone gets booted off.
Hulu’s rules for both commercial and commercial-free subscriptions are on the strict side.
Members of the same household are allowed access to the same account (woo!) but only one stream is permitted at a time (gah!) Even within those parameters it makes it a bit difficult deciding who gets the Hulu password in one house.
Despite that hurdle, you’re able to activate as many devices as you want and set up individual profiles as well! So you can tailor your own watchlist and favourites without everyone else being able to see your choices.
 You can share away as long as those who have access are in your immediate family. Not sure if that means the postman.
There’s still a limit to how many folks can use your account. “Y,” reads the official Netflix statement.
They can’t really tell the difference between a family member or a friend, however.
The only time they’ll really clamp down is if you sell your Netflix password.
Even with policies in place to prevent the services being abused, Netflix and HBO aren’t going to rouse the cops to bust down your door.
By the sounds of it, the big streaming services are so, well, BIG, that even with a significant chunk of people sharing passwords – and Netflix doesn’t keep track of the exact number because it’s such a pain in the butt – it doesn’t affect business.
You shouldn’t worry about sharing your streaming passwords but think twice if you think about selling your passwords.

That’s why you might be surprised to buy QuickTax Standard for the 2007 tax year and find you could do only two returns for income over $25,000. Last year, you could do six returns. The price stayed the same, but you could apply for a $10 mail rebate if you filed your return electronically.
After I did a column last Saturday on Intuit Canada’s sneaky move, I heard from many people who had quit QuickTax and found alternative tax software.
I quit using QuickTax this year. I’ve reviewed Squawkfox Reviews StudioTax and quite liked it. The software is free (by donation) and has been certified.
Michael Yarde buys QuickTax software each year to prepare his family’s tax returns. But this year, he noticed a change. For the same $40 price, he could prepare fewer tax returns.
QuickTax Standard for 2007 includes two returns for Canadians with more than $25,000 in income, compared with five returns in previous years.
Cameron Moore, QuickTax product manager, told me that most people didn’t need to prepare five returns. “About 60 per cent of users prepare only one or two returns for $25,000+ in income,” he said.
“?'” he said.
So the 40% who need to prepare more than 2 returns will see a huge price increase and the other 60% who resented paying for 5 will continue to pay $40 for 2.
Then there’s the $10 so-called “Eco-Choice” rebate.
Most claims are processed within six weeks, Intuit says, heque to come to you in the mail.
In my view, Intuit should lower the price on its downsized product. That’s better than offering a time-consuming rebate that won’t be redeemed in great numbers.
In addition to Ellen’s objections, consider that for every rebate someone will have to spend 52Â¢ postage plus envelope (plus photocopies if they want to maintain proof that they made the submission.) Then there’s the environmental cost of getting it to Intuit, the costs of processing, the costs of sending the rebate cheque, the costs of taking that cheque to a bank, processing and clearing it, etc. And then there are the not uncommon costs of chasing after rebates that fail to materialize, the phone calls, the faxes, the mailing of photocopies, the blood pressure medication, etc.
I bought Quicktax before I realized there was a 2-return limit. Tired of the Intuit BS, I mailed it back to them and said I wanted a refund. To their credit, they mailed me a cheque.
I just finished doing all of our tax returns with Studiotax (www.studiotax.com) at a total cost of $0. The software worked really well, and you can’t argue with the price. I’m going to send $10 to the authors of the software as a thank-you.
I used QuickTax for a few years and TaxWiz before that and I file two tax returns. This year, I bid adieu to QT because of the confusing message that I’ll have to get the Platinum version just to declare capital gains and losses. It turned out that I was mistaken and that all QT versions support all forms.
I’ve downloaded and tried StudioTax and I am going to use it to file our taxes this year.
Give my QT any day!
Sorry, what I wanted to say is that I replicated the return on Studio Tax.
I believe that we should get a free tax preparation software from Revenue Canada, not just a stamp-saving Netfile service. A lot more people have chosen to prepare and file their tax by computer. The costs of paper forms and distribution of them is a huge waste.
I’ve been using Ufile for the last 4 years worth of tax returns, including this year’s, which I completed a few weeks ago – the refund is already in the bank.
Without fail, it has worked perfectly year after year and it has an excellent interface. The best part of all: it’s completely online so you don’t need to purchase anything at all in order to use it, simply navigate to ufile.ca and follow the directions.
As a Mac user, having an online version that isn’t dependent on my having a Windows based computer system is obviously a show-stopper feature for me, so Ufile fits the bill perfectly year after year.
Too late Cameron. I’m gone. You’ve lost a customer of 20+ years.
And as soon as I find a replacement for Quicken, I’ll be rid of that too. Again, I’ve been a Quicken customer since the DOS days.
Intuit’s arrogance and incompetence (e.g. Quicken still doesn’t download stock and mutual fund quotes correctly) is simply too much.
I had been a fan of Taxwiz for the past few years. I was not able to find it this year and had heard that Intuit had bought out the company so I purchased QuickTax.
The first thing I noticed and have STRONGLY objected to, is the requirement to provide INTUIT with personal information m. I do not object to registering a program but do object to the company collectingn, as I was completing my return using the â€œInterviewâ€ method, at least twice as I moved forward, I was interrupted with a â€œpurchase other Intuit programsâ€ page. Infuriating! Intuitâ€™s intrusive practices have turned me completely off their products.
QuickTax e-mail support is terrible. It seems that the immediate objective of each technical support person is to dump the problem on someone else by sending any reply, however useless, within the 72 hour deadline.
I was poking around on the Intuit Canada web page and found their job postings. Not only has technical support been moved to India, but it appears that software development is now done in Bangalore instead of Edmonton.
I’ve had to override incorrect output from QuickTax twice since 2005. Now I use a combination of my own spreadsheet and Ufile.
I really hope Intuit reads how many unhappy customers they have now. I too was a long time user of their product but their greed, yes greed, is showing. Next year, it will be Ufile for me.
I too am very disappointed after purchasing my QuickTax. I have used the program and formerly CanTax for years to file four returns. This year, it was not until we installed the program that we discovered the two return over $25,000 limit.
My actual return was under $25,000, but it worked out best for me to claim $2,000 of my husband’s pension on my return. Lo and behold, that savings will be eaten into with the purchase of my return, as now my income is at $25,000.
I am going back to doing my returns by hand.
I have been using QuickTax for many, many years. This is the last year I am using QuickTax. They have become a ripoff company, serving only the investors. Profits, profits that’s all what they are interested in.
I purchased QuickTax Standard, not reading the changes that had taken place, assuming that it still would give me last year’s numbers of returns. What a surprise, and I accept responsibility for not reading the outside box, trusting QuickTax instead. No longer will I be a patron. Hopefully, others will do the same.
In addition, QuickTax does not max out your pension splitting, a feature that is sorely lacking for pensioners like myself.
Will I purchase QuickTax 2008? Absolutely not!!
I am shopping for a replacement. And don’t forget to dump their stock, this one is going DOWN!
I also used QuickTax for many years, and bought the 2007 Standard edition because I used it in the past. I read the small print on the box about the two returns limit, but I assumed that my return and my wife’s will count as one, as they are filled as one. To me, this is false advertising.! It looks like QuickTax interpreted the transfer as being from/to a spouse, even though on the student’s forms I’ve checked the box that says the transfer is to a parent, and on my return I entered the student as a dependant.)??! If t? Plus, I asked CRA, and, of course, they confirmed there is no such restriction.
The most annoying thing is that all my attempts to clarify this went to Intuit’s so-called “customer service” in India, and I wasted the past two weeks trying to make them understand the issues. They asked for screen shots first – I sent them. Then they asked me to send the tax return files themselves. Not only I am not comfortable with sending them personal info, but I really don’t see why they need it. It’s easy enough to test what I say using test data.
I am not sure what I can do, but I believe this is blatant disrespect for customers, and I ponder about going to the media with the whole story.
I have joined the ranks of the Quick Tax Malcontents, though for reasons different than many posting here. I agree with the comments about abysmal customer service.
In response to six inquiries over the past 9 weeks, including the return of the product over two months ago requesting a refund, I am no further ahead. Perhaps the unresponsiveness of the customer service is intentional because Intuit figures people will just give up.
The problem is described in the email excerpted below.
I am a user of your software who must override or otherwise manually change several line items, mostly notably Part B of T778 for Child Care Expenses.This is required for divorced parents who share custody of children equally [meaning the child or children reside with each parent 50% of the time]. For example, when there are two children, as in my case, I must only claim one-half of the $4,000 daycare deduction for each since daycare expenses are shared equally. I must override and then manually write this on the T778. This is the reason I cannot Netfile my return.
This year, I have identified a problem with QuickTax with respect to the new federal tax amount for children – Line 367 – which prevents me from completing the complete return using your software.
Line 367 – Amount for children born in 1990 or later. You can claim $2,000 for eachThe full amount can be claimed in the year of the child’s birth, death, or adoption. If the child resides with both parents throughout the year. If the child does claims the amount for an eligible dependent (see line 305) for that child can claim this amount.
My ex and I decided we would proceed with the claim for this new amount, as we had been for the Equivalent to Spouse amount in Line 305. In other words, I am claiming one of our two children for both the eligible dependent and the new federal tax amount.
However, when I was reviewing the Schedule 1, I noted that line 5, which represents Lines 366 and 367 of the Return, was wrong. The error could be traced back to the QuickTax Dependent Information Form.
The Dependent Information Form provides the basis for a number of line items thereafter, including daycare expenses, camps, children’s fitness amount, etc.
On this form, there are option buttons [Yes/No] in each child’s column for Child Lives with Parent. As in years past, based on advice from CRA, I must select Yes for both. Also, as in years past, there is an option button for the Eligible Dependent Claim: For one child, I select Yes. For the other, I select No. However, there is no Yes/No option button for the new federal amount, SO if you have selected Yes for Child Lives with Parent, the $2,000 amount appears automatically.
This has ramifications for the line calculations all through Schedule 1 for Federal Tax, starting at item 5, which as already noted, represents Lines 366 & 367. While override of 366 is possible to adjust the number for “Children born in 1990 or later”, it is not possible to override line 367 to claim only one child because it is predetermined by the Dependent Information Form answer.
What is then required is a line by line adjustment, down through to the amount for line 420, to be entered at the top of page 4 of the the General T1.
It is not possible to cheat the system by changing the answer for Child Lives with Parent to show only one child living with each [which is inaccurate and could be construed as an offence anyway] because the values for all of the items mentioned above for that child are then automatically disallowed/deleted.
The end result is that I must prepare the S page 4 of my General T1 return accordingly.
This is unsatisfactory, particularly because it seems like such a simple glitch to fix.
You can be certain that I will be passing on this information to others in the same situation that I am in.
Well, I was looking for a tax software/service and would like to thank all the listeners and people who submitted their views on QuickTax, which I was going to purchase. I went with UFile and am happy I stayed away from QuickScam, er Tax.
Perhaps QuickTax should rebrand themselves for next tax season by calling themsselves, “UFO-Tax” and I ain’t speaking aliens here, folks. Johnny Carson best described UFO as “You @#&*Off”. I agree a far more apt name for a declining product and service.
Here is another spin on the $10 rebate fiasco. Other colleagues of mine are in the same position where they have no record of our submissions.
The kicker in my case is that I had purchased Quicktax Standard online from the Intuit Canada website. After various emails, Intuit is denying my rebate, saying I have an online product.
How ridiculous, they don’t know the difference between Quicktax Web (online) and Quicktax installed program. I think Intuit (or as subcontractor) is doing their best to deny rebates.
I’m only pursuing this out of principle, since $10 isn’t going to make any difference in my life.
In fact, I think this is the last year I will use Quicktax after maybe 20 years of continuous usage. I still remember the DOS Cantax from way back when.
So I see Quicktax 2008 is now allowing up to 8 standard returns (Big Font announcement on front of package).
Too bad they lost a number of us long-in-the-tooth faithful customers last year to UFile and other customer friendly/much better online Canadian software.
Keep trying QuickTax – maybe some day you’ll regain the stature CanTax established years ago.
I also saw the new packaging of Quicktax 2008. Funny how the number of returns you can do this time is prominently advertised upfront. Like many others, I failed to read the fine print last year and bought Quicktax. It wasn’t until I got home that I noticed the two returns limit. As I had to do 3-4 returns I went out to buy UFile instead of buying extra Quicktax returns.
Intuit’s other product, Quicken, has also deteriorated over the years. I cannot believe how they turned this wonderful money management tool they had in the 90s into this pathetic piece of software it is now.
I’ve learned from my mistake and will never buy from Intuit again. Even after a year this fiasco still leaves a bitter taste in me. I’m using UFile again this year as I was pleased with its results last year.
What a nice program. Bought it and installed, but it wants to verify by logging in to the Intuit site. Problem is, it can’t and when you try bringing up the Intuit site it’s under maintenance (great timing).
Okay, no problem, there is an 800 number you can call to do the validation. Whoops. There is no service at that number (great timing II).
Did something happen to the company and no one told us??
I had the same experience as G Wong. I spotted the 2 return limit on QuickTax 2007, promptly returned it and bought UFile.
This year, in bold, is the 8 return limit.
Since I do returns for several family members, UFile was cost effective last year, but QT2008 along with an upgrade to Quicken H&B was a good saving, so I bought both together.
Quicken has definitely degraded. The new version is full of cosmetic bugs that are irritating. It’s like getting Windows before the first service pack is out.
QuickTax used to convert returns from other software, but that feature is gone, so2007 UFile returns.
To Andrew…yes, Intuit thinks they are as big as Microsoft now.
 So if you left last year and wanted to return this year think again!!!!!!
Fricking rip off company… and I am a user of Cantax/Quicktax since 1989!!!! No longer though!!!
QuickTax for the 2008 income tax year has a terrible glitch that pertains to the “Quebec Income Tax return enabled” download.
When the update is downloaded and applied, it corrupts the help files of QuickTax 2008 Standard. QuickTax tries to minimize and sugar coat the problem by stating that it only applies to a few cases, when in fact it is widespread.
This problem is really a gift to H&R Block’s tax software program. Purchased H&R’s program because of the dubious response from QuickTax and their inability to correct the problem to date.
Incidentally, have found H&R’s program to be superior to QuickTax in reliability and ease of use. Every dark cloud has a silver lining.
Well, I see that QuickTax has tried, this year, to correct their stupid, idiotic ploy done last year to increase their revenues by decreasing the number of returns to 2 yet charging the same price.
This, of course, seemed to backfire on them since it caused a whole lot of previously loyal customers to find alternatives, and pissed off the rest of the people who actually bought the 2007 version unknowingly.
Even before the 2007 imposed limit of 2 returns, I had always wondered whether or not I should try alternative software, since the price of Quicktax has always been more expensive than say, Ufile.
However, since I was already used to years of Quicktax, I continued to shell out the standard $40 a year to do my 5 returns. I figured familiarity was worth the price difference.
Ah, but then, Intuit goes and pulls their low move of the 2 return limit, so forced me to switch to Ufile, just out of principle.
Now, for the 2008 return, Quicktax has increased the number of returns to 8, even more than the 2006 limit, in a vain attempt to lure back customers they lost last year.
Well, be forewarned, it doesn’t seem that Quicktax felt it necessary to work too hard to get their customers back since their software doesn’t seem to allow conversion of Ufile 2007 data into QT.
Too little, too late, Intuit. You’ll have to do a lot better if you want to reverse the negative, bitter taste you left in your customers’ (actually, ex-customers now) mouths.
Thanks, Ufile, for offering a comparable product at a more than fair price.
Happy filing, everyon 0? An answer would be so greatly appreciated!! Thanks, guys!
I want to figure this out as I do a lot of my neighbours’ taxes for them, disabled/retired, and don’t want to be severely limited. Most of them are under $25k.
Hi Ellen, It’s nice to hear from you!
I’m always happy to respond to your readers’ inquiries.
Our consumer QuickTax desktop products for Tax Year 2008 all include 8 returns for individuals with over $25,000 in net income.
Not only is this more than last year’s 2 returns, it’s also more than the 5 returns we were offering 2 years ago.
As usual, any returns prepared for individuals with less than $25,000 in net income will not count toward those 8 returns, and are essentially “free”, meaning that you can prepare up to 12 additional returns under $25k.
Please note, however, that the CRA has imposed a 20-return per computer limit on all NETFILE-certified software this year.
– We have created a one-click pension splitting optimizer that makes it very easy for people with private pensions to maximize their tax refund by splitting just the right amount of pension income with their spouse.
– We are offering Audit Defence to our customers, an additional service for $39.99 that offers peace-of-mind to Canadians who are concerned about a CRA audit.
– The pricing of our online products has been reduced – QuickTax Standard online now starts at $14.99 per return.
Details can be found at http://www.quicktax.ca.
I’ve always used QuickTax, but I usually split the cost with my parents. Last year, because of the 2 return limit, I had to buy my own copy. I wasn’t very happy, but I didn’t have time to look around for a replacement.
This year, I think I’m going to try StudioTax, since it’s free and seems to be a good replacement. My only concern is that their help system might not be as good, since I’m not very tax fluent.
If it works out, then I’ll donate some of my tax refund to StudioTax. If it doesn’t, I haven’t lost anything, other than some time.
Like others who have posted above me, I had been a faithful user of Quicktax for years until they pulled last year’s ripoff, which I first learned of through your website.
Although my spouse and I only used Quicktax for our returns (two), leaving us unaffected by the reduction in returns, Quicktax lost me over sheer principle: While I had been paying more and more over the years, their sneaky limitation last year caused me to rebel and move to uFile in support of other consumers.
When I saw this year’s version in stores, and noticed that they had seemingly learned from their mistakes, I was going to purchase it today. I returned to this website, only to read that uFile’s 2007 return can’t be imported into Quicktax.
This would have been simple programming on Quicktax’s part, so they’ve now lost me for at least another year. I’m happy with uFile, so perhaps I won’t contemplate a return to QT at all next year.
Okay, maybe someone can help me.  No problem.
!? What?!? I didn’t have a problem with the previous QuickTax years and up to three days ago, QuickTax 2008 was working fine.
I know it is not the computer, so what can I do to get QuickTax 2008 working again?
I got caught last year with the 2 return Quick Tax. And last year was my last year with Quick Tax. As for them ever winning me back as a Quick Tax user, never. They betrayed a basic trust; their sneaky marketing ploy of small print and big promises still irks me.
I off?
I’m very sorry to hear about the technical difficulty you’ve run into.
This will allow  should be able to diagnose your the issue.
Many of my clients in Fort McMurray have been switching away from Quicktax over the past 3-5 years as well. They have not been very happy with the service provided once they do have to phone into the customer support.
Yes, this is true with most Quicktax products any more!!
There are definitely other options out there than QuickTax (now TurboTax), but often they are much harder (or more ‘clunky’) to use.
It seems that most of the tax software companies are moving to online versions, which means ‘sharing’ a software package is not possible.
I gave up on QuickTax when they end of life’d the version of Quicken I had.
I cannot trust a company they will end of life a product by installing updates that turn the product into nag-ware and cripple existing features that were already paid for.
It is clear they have reached an apex in organic revenue growth and will do anything they can to try and squeeze additional revenue from their customer base in the most unscrupulous of ways.
I have been using QuickTax for quite some time now for my Marketing On Internet website and I agree with David that you can’t limit the usage on software you have already purchased. I am switching everything over as well.
I agree with your comments totally. I used QuickTax in the past, but this year I bought Ufile Plus for $39.95 in a box (I donâ€™t like my personal data sitting on somebodyâ€™s server) and I can do 16 returns.
What I like about Ufile is that it is a Canadian outfit, whereas Quicktax is a sub of an American company. It is very easy to input information and their Maxback feature does a great job of splitting eligible pension income.
Also, I can print all or selected pages of the return without it counting against the 16 allowable returns (unless you convert the file to a PDF format, which counts against the 16).
You should let your readers know about Ufile â€“ it is much more superior product than QuickTax.

Does he jump up on people?Does he chew your shoes and steal your undies?Does he have "selective hearing" Guess what?Your dog is behaving just like …a dog!He doesn't know he's doing anything wrong.

Hi, I'm the Jersey Dog Trainer Renee Premaza, and I train dogs using force-free methods!
I am vehemently opposed to the indiscriminate use of shock collars!You would never hear the Veterinary Behaviorists at the University of Pennsylvania advise anyone to use these collars. You certainly wouldn't hear any responsible trainer or veterinarian tell you to shock your dog to teach him how to behave appropriately. Please understand that the basics of any good training program requires that your dog trust you. You want to prevent your dog from associating you with pain and discomfort. A good trainer understands the scientific Laws of Learning. Anytime I've been asked to work with a dog that has been harshly trained or shocked, I have found them to be very slow and hesitant to learn new behaviors. The answer for this apparent slowness is not stupidity!The dogs are clearly afraid to make any mistake for fear of having to experience more punishment and inappropriate handling!

He isn't phased in the least about squirrels or deer, but just let a rabbit walk in his line of sight and he becomes Mr. Huntmeister!


But aThe PUNCH on TuBute called on the
Speaking to one of our correspondents, the Secretary of Osun PDP Legal Committee, Hashim Abioye, said bringing together several lawyers by the APC to challenge Adeleke’s victory was not a threat to the party.
“It is not a threat at all. I have been involved in so many election petition matters where you line up as many lawyers as you can. That does not mean anything. There is no room for anyone to hide again in litigation. You place your card face up. We are waiting for them,” Abioye said.
“For the 50 legal practitioners APC wants to hire, I think that 50 might not be enough. They can as well double that number. Perhaps they may be able to help them. I am not a lawyer, but I know it will an excercise in futility. It was a clear contest which produced a winner.”
“As far as I am concerned, Oyetola going to court to challenge Adeleke’s victory is not in any way a wrong move.”
Ogunbiyi, who spoke through one of his aides, Stephen Owolabi, however, said Osun people had made their choice and he had no problem with their decision.

A top ranking member of the party, who is familiar with the issue but elected to speak in confidence, said: “We held a major consultative meeting on Tuesday and I can assure you that the membership of the council will be announced in the next two weeks.
Another party leader, who spoke on grounds of anonymity, said: “The PDP has dealt with bigger challenges; this one too has come and it will go. Governor Wike, whose name is being mentioned anytime our current challenges are cited, is a party man, he has said it himself.
“It is the pursuit of this that has delayed us till now but we must make progress; we have an election to win and there will be positions of responsibilities to be given out. It is the patience component that is the issue at the moment.”

When contacted, Mazi Paul Ibe, Media A, said: “Substantial progress is being made with regards to resolving outstanding issues. My principal has assured the party and all members that everyone will be carried along. That commitment has not changed.”

Wike has in recent times been meeting with some APC chieftains, including Tinubu’s allies. On was invited by Wike to inaugurate a road project.

“Based on his rating, I will not be shocked if Atiku Abubakar is wooing him based on the fact that the two leaders are not only very close associates politically and but have remain great partners in the progress of this country so I have nothing against such a union,” he said.
Also speaking with The PUNCH,s also a Tinubu campaigner, said there was nothing wrong with the new romance with Wike.
Shittu also rubbished reports that Tinubu had a hand in Abe’s defection, adding that Tinubu could not be blamed for longstanding crisis in the party in Rivers State.
Amaechi placed to the ex-minister’smedia aide,Paul Iyiofor, raneking his comment on Wike’s alleged romance with Tinubu’s allies and other APC chieftains.

The former federal lawmaker explained that his relationship with Atiku brought Intels, a logistics company owned by the PDP presidential candidate, to the state.
He said, “Wike told me during one of our campaigns that if he failed the primary that he will collapse the whole system if they do to him what they did to (Ex-Rivers state governor, Peter) Odili. He said he will collapse the system and everybody will go home. That is the fear here.”

In Britain, being a newsreader is a nice job. In America, being an anchor is to sit atop the pinnacle of the fabulously wealthy and self-important infotainment industry.
While British TV viewers might not get news of any higher quality or with any less bias than what American viewers get, they certainly get it with a lot less ego and drama.
Who is Jeff Glor?!
See-BS was a rotted and stinking corpse since the 60s.
Why am I thinking of Katie Couric??
She's a dumbass...always has been, always will be.
When she first came on the scene, I thought she was so cute.
There's nothing wrong with getting the news from a sweet looking young woman.
The grand illusion, death by sound-byte.
They just need to replay that promotional where she is walking along and the wind blows through her hair. Makes one think of Walter Cronkite.
Walter Cronkite knowingly lied when he reported US forces lost the TET Offensive.
To be honest, I’d prefer we just rotate people at random to read the news. Kind of like when someone from the congregation gets picked to read scripture. No need for news ‘celebrities’.
LOL, doesn’t make me think of Uncle Wally.
Their propagandist value similarities sure does though.
It’s been decades since I watched any evening “news” on any channel. I’m not a fan of propaganda.
Norah ... doesn’t she play piano and sing?
just eye candy, great body - but ultra-liberal, cold...and dumb as a rock...
Easy on the eyes Norah is an attempt to boost ratings by bringing in male viewers. She’s very liberal and it’s not working. Surprised she’s doing worse than Jeff Glor. She gets paid $7 million a year?!
Glor was the best of the recent CBS anchors.
He had some good, respectful interviews with President Trump.
CBS ought to bring him back asap!!
Only Shepard Smith can save CBS News.
