Navigating Nexus. Multistate Business Operations Face a Wide Variety of State Taxes.

Nexus can be a hidden danger for a company with a multistate presence. Certain activities might cause nexus for sales and use tax, income tax, franchise tax or other business taxes. One key to successfully navigating these widely varying provisions is for tax professionals to review the statutes and rulings of each state in which a business client might be considered as doing business. The connection might not be obvious, particularly for sales and use tax. And some states levy types of taxes that might not be familiar to business owners and managers, such as those on gross receipts or business activity.

Another, less well-known key is familiarity with states’ provisions for voluntary disclosure and amnesty. Businesses might need a CPA experienced in negotiating with the state or states in question to use these tax controversy resolution tools, especially if they didn’t think they had nexus for an earlier period but belatedly determine that they did.

Sales tax. Federal law requires a state to have “substantial nexus” to a seller to require that seller to collect sales and use tax. The definition of “substantial nexus” has always been a subject of contentious debate between states and businesses. Generally, however, it means having a physical presence in the state , whether by salesperson, contractor, location or a number of different events (see Quill Corp. v. North Dakota, 504 U.S. 298 (1992), and National Bellas Hess v. Department of Revenue, 386 U.S. 753 (1967)). Owning or leasing tangible personal property or real property in the state is usually considered to establish sales-and-use-tax nexus. Depending on the state, some other common activities that can result in nexus are listed in the sidebar, “Nexus Study Overview and Checklist,” below.

Income, franchise and other business taxes. Having nexus for sales tax purposes does not necessarily mean a taxpayer will have nexus for income tax purposes, as a higher level of business activity may be required. Historically, state income tax nexus has been created when an out-of-state company derives income from sources within the state, owns or leases property in the state, or employs personnel who engage in activities that go beyond those “protected” under federal interstate commerce laws. Under 15 USC § 381 (commonly referred to by its 1959 enacting legislation, PL 86-272) states imposing a tax based on or measured by net income may not impose that tax on out-of-state taxpayers whose only connection with the state is the solicitation of orders for sales of tangible personal property when such orders are approved and shipped from outside the state. Since PL 86-272 applies only where the in-state activities are the solicitation of orders for sales of tangible personal property, it has no applicability where the solicitation is for the sale of intangible property, real estate or services.

Although PL 86-272 offers protection from income tax, it does not offer protection from a state’s franchise tax, which is imposed for the privilege of doing business in the state and generally based on an apportioned capital, net worth or another non-income base. Currently, about half the states impose a franchise tax, either in conjunction with, or in lieu of, an income tax. In general, a taxpayer with sales tax nexus will be subject to the state’s franchise tax.

Additionally, in recent years several states replaced their income tax with non-income-based taxes. These include the Michigan business tax (MBT), the Texas margin tax (TMT), and the Ohio commercial activities tax (CAT). Like the Washington state business and occupation (B&O) tax and the Delaware gross receipts tax, the MBT, TMT and CAT are not based on or measured by income, but are imposed on gross receipts generated from the sale of products or services, the value of a business’s transactions or some other modified base.

Gross receipts taxes are imposed on the seller and are similar to a privilege tax. It should be noted that taxes based on gross receipts are not sales taxes, even if the same sales receipt impacts both the seller’s gross receipts tax liability and the purchaser’s sales or use tax liability. The MBT, TMT and CAT also require “affiliated” taxpayers engaged in unitary business operations to report their income on a combined basis, thus further expanding their reach. Because gross-receipts and other business taxes are not based on or measured by net income, they are not subject to the protection of PL 86-272. Thus, a taxpayer with even minimal activity within a state could likely find itself subject to one of these taxes.

Not only are states enacting non-income-based taxes, adopting mandatory combined reporting and aggressively broadening the concept of nexus, they also are seeking to capture a larger proportion of the taxable income of multistate businesses by replacing the traditional, equally weighted payroll, property and sales apportionment with formulas based predominantly or solely on the percentage of sales to customers in the state.

Physical presence is the most obvious and traditional nexus standard, especially, as noted earlier, for sales and use tax. A number of states, however, are reaching beyond the traditional view of nexus toward an “economic nexus” standard in which physical presence is not required as long as there is an “economic” connection to the state. For example, in the income tax arena, the exploitation of a trademark, where a fee is paid to use the trademark, has been held to be enough to create nexus for the owner of the trademark. See, for example, Geoffrey Inc. v. Commissioner of Revenue, 899 N.E.2d 87 (Mass. 2009), and Lanco Inc. v. Director, Div. of Taxation, 188 N.J. 380 (2006). Substantial economic nexus has also been successfully asserted with respect to banking and financial services and products directed into a state. See, for example, Capital One Bank v. Commissioner of Revenue, 899 N.E.2d 76 (Mass. 2009), and West Virginia Tax Commissioner v. MBNA America Bank, N.A., 220 W.Va. 163 (2006).

Activities that can create a link between a company and state through the use of subsidiaries or agents will result in agency or affiliate nexus. Such activity might be an entity accepting returns for its online affiliate, as in Borders Online LLC v. State Board of Equalization, 29 Cal. Rptr.3d 176 (Cal. Ct. App. 2005), or even, in some cases, teachers handing out book order forms (see, for example, Scholastic Book Clubs v. State Board of Equalization, 255 Cal. Rptr. 77 (Cal. Ct. App. 1989)). Unless there is a clear separation of the relationship between the out-of-state seller and the in-state activities, a case can be made for nexus. Almost like the game “six degrees of separation,” the seller needs to be aware of any activities of related entities.

Currently, the hottest controversy in affiliate nexus is the New York “Amazon law” fallout (see JofA coverage: “Amazon Loses Round in N.Y. Nexus Fight,” April 2009, page 72; and “Online Retailers Battle N.Y. Nexus,” Oct. 2008, page 96). To date, New York has successfully created a connection through’s New York “affiliates,” state residents to whom the company paid commissions when purchasers “clicked through” their websites to its site. Amazon is appealing the 2009 New York state trial court decision siding with the state. Some states followed suit by introducing similar legislation. Colorado, North Carolina and Rhode Island enacted some version of the “Amazon” nexus presumption law. After Colorado introduced its new law, Amazon pulled its affiliates program there, even though the Colorado law does not specifically identify referral programs for online retailers as creating nexus. Most recently, Connecticut and Minnesota have introduced similar legislation, and additional states will probably introduce or reintroduce this type of legislation over the next year. It is important for the taxpayer to understand its relationships with other vendors, contractors or even partner programs.

Many states would like to require remote sellers to collect their tax even absent physical presence. This would be easier if sales tax laws were made simpler and more uniform, which is the purpose of the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement (SSUTA).

To date, 23 states have passed conforming legislation, and there are 20 full member states, which agree to comply with uniform sourcing rules and to simplify exemptions. The SSUTA generally makes it easier for small businesses to determine what rate of tax to charge and provides a centralized registration system that uses a single application to register a filer in all participating states. The SSUTA could also make it easier for the federal government to play a role in unifying the state systems. On July 1, 2010, HB 5660, the “Main Street Fairness Act” was introduced in Congress and referred to the House Judiciary Committee. It proposes to overturn the physical presence requirement for sales-and-use-tax collection, allowing SSUTA member states to require out-of-state sellers to collect their tax.

Lex Van Dam – 5-Step-Trading Stocks I and II
WEBRips | MP4 / AVC ~447 kb/s | 480×272 | Duration: 7 hours | English: AAC 96 kb/s (2 ch) | + PDF Guides | 2.23 GB
Genre: Trading

In Million Dollar Traders Lex trained a diverse group of eight people with no trading experience for two weeks after which he handed them 1 million of his own money. They then traded his money for eight weeks and ended up outperforming the professionals. The training program has now been further improved and has been used to create an online course called 5-Step-Trading Stocks. The goal of 5-Step-Trading Stocks is to give you a good grounding so that when it comes to more aggressive trading methods that Lex will discuss in later courses you will have a good basis to work from. Even if you are only interested in FX trading this is still a course that will serve you well.
The 5-Step-Trading Stocks Online Modules consist of:
1. Idea Generation
Here Lex discusses the basics of trading and investing how to find good trading ideas and how to avoid common mistakes. This module also investigates general market direction and stock market history to help put ideas into perspective.
2. Company Analysis
Lex discusses how to take a stock trading idea and decide if the idea makes sense from a valuation perspective; what is important to look at and what is irrelevant. Company management and research analysts cannot be trusted to give an independent view of a company and its business. You need to do this yourself. In this module we aim to show you how.
3. Chart Analysis
Here Lex shows why looking at charts is necessary before trading. He teaches you how to read a chart properly and show you which techniques should be used and how. We will look at general market indicators to put things into perspective.
4. Trading Psychology
Trading is one of the hardest things in the world. It is easy to get greedy when it goes well and panic when things go wrong. Lex shows how to deal with the pain and improve your mental toughness. Good traders run their profits and cut their losses. Lex will show you why most people do the opposite. He will show you how to do a mental check every time before you trade.
5. Risk Management
In this final module Lex teaches how to end up with a portfolio of stocks that work well together where everything is sized properly with targets and stop-losses correctly documented and where the balance between risk and reward is right. If you do not do this you are likely to end up with large losses.
Modules presented here dig deeper into the material that we could only touch upon in the 5-Step-TradingStocks course and introduces new concepts and new ideas.The first part of the course focuses on the typical mistakes that most traders and investors keep making causing them to lose money. Hopefully by understanding these mistakes you can learn to avoid them.
The second part discusses Lex van Dams trading tips to increase the likelihood that you can make money yourself without needing outside advice.
At popular request I have also written and filmed a trading screen module. In this I am sharing the indicators and information that I look at every day on my own personal trading screen which hopefully you will find useful as well. Lex van Dam.
This is Series II and modules presented in this course are:
– Common Trading Mistakes
– Lexs Trading Tips
– Market Indicators and Lexs Trading Screen

“Why weren’t you?” shop moncler outlet But grasping all in her vast active spright; Wearied by all that he had undergone in the last few days, Gabriel soon slept with Falkland’s cloak wrapped about him, and though stretched on the bare boards of the prison floor, his sleep was more profound and restful than any that for many months had visited the careworn Secretary of State. “George Locke. shop moncler outlet “Where does it lead to?” repeated Nicholas, as though not quite sure that he had heard aright. “It leads to Thame, sir, you’ll soon get there; Thame the market town.” Durban wrinkled his dark brows. "Then how did he send the telegram, to which he has just now had an answer?" he demanded. They wandered out on to the promenade. The sun was going down. The waves were tipped with a flamingo redness. It was as though scarlet birds were darting so swiftly that they could not see their bodies. He saw her—her piquant face alight with welcome. She tripped across the room, extending both her hands. Her eyes begged him to keep their secret “It is good of you to visit us so promptly,” she said. “Fancy your remembering! I didn’t think we’d see you till to-morrow at earliest.” Night Raids.—These were a British speciality, and must come under a separate heading, for they were not strictly night attacks, but long nocturnal expeditions designed to culminate in a surprise attack at dawn upon a Boer laager. Fond themselves of night enterprises, the Boers were also very sensitive to attack while in laager. This weakness began to be exploited by some of our mounted leaders in the early part of 1901. The first noteworthy night raid was on April 13 of that year at Goedvooruitzicht, where Sir Henry Rawlinson surprised the laager of Wolmarans at dawn, and captured his transport and a gun, though it is true that the Boers retaliated with some effect later on in the day. Other small raids followed in various quarters, and in August and September Colonel Benson, R.A., with the assistance of Colonel Woolls-Sampson, operating with a single column in the Eastern Transvaal, brought the system to high perfection. After his death in the unhappy reverse of Bakenlaagte, General Bruce Hamilton successfully carried on the same system in the same district, though with very much larger forces.

Oh, those lessons! what agonies I suffered during them, trying to attain the impossible! To how many fits of despair have I given way in failing time after time to manage my breathing! It was all breathing--a deep drawing in, a slow letting out--the exercise of internal muscles of which I had never heard even the name--the weariness of incessantly practising notes in a still, small voice hardly audible,--it was enough to discourage the most persevering. Some of the female pupils, I believe, cried with vexation when not able to do what was required by the severe Maestro, who denied the existence of the word "impossible" in connection with singing; but I, not being a woman, was reduced to swearing, which certainly relieved my feelings after a battle with a particularly aggravating exercise. shop moncler outlet “That she would,” said Mrs. Unett, with a smile. “You are very good, brother, to suggest such a plan.

“Old Jock,” explained the Vicar to the Captain, “had been brought up a Papist, and I admit that he did superstitiously nod his head when he passed the cross; he is now bedridden.

Pike’s Peak Martin was the first to collect himself. Crawling from beneath that landslide of amazement which had caught and covered Timberline, he visited the Belle union with a resolved air. Pointedly but fully Pike’s Peak Martin tendered himself in marriage to Dead wood Maggie.

"My wife will not readily part with diamonds like that, and I fancy she knows enough about the Major to keep him silent. Well, Beatrice, let it be as you say: see Durban in the morning, and then Orchard. But I wish you would stay here." Then I had a view--a delightful view--of the red-roofed houses of Milan, seen from the window, with here and there a tall factory chimney, the slender tower of a church from whence sounded the jangling bells which used to irritate me, at least, every quarter of an hour, and just a glimpse of the white miracle of the great Duomo, rising like a fairy creation of milky lacework against the deeply blue sky. Even a vision of green trees I obtained by craning my head round the corner of the window, and when it was fine weather I looked at my roof-top view while enjoying a pipe, but when it rained--oh! heavens, Milan was as dreary as London in a fog, and the blue skies of Italy became a fable of inventive minds. The intense heat changed to humid cold, and then I used to shut out this deceptive city of the Visconti by closing my window, and, retreating to the piano, practise exercises with a voice rendered, I am afraid, rather gruff by the chill terra-cotta floor and the damp atmosphere.

Then he set himself to criticize pedantically the breakdown of the Christian ideal of marriage. "I am sure of it!" “No, no,” she said, smoothing back the hair from his forehead. “You must live, Gabriel, I—we—cannot spare you. Uncle Coke is half a leech, he will bind up your wounds.” CHAPTER XXII REVELATIONS It was on a clear, bright day, early in February, that the Doctor, having dined at the house of a friend in Ledbury, rode along the frozen lane which led to Bosbury Vicarage, thinking he would at least inquire whether Hilary had returned from Whitbourne. The pretty village street was deep in snow, and the black and white houses with icicles fringing their dark eaves looked more picturesque than ever. Rime glittered on the trees in the churchyard, and frosted the ivy on the square brown tower of the church, while the steps round the cross, where long ago Gabriel and Hilary had rested, were thickly covered with a white, wintry carpet. By contrast the snug sitting-room in the Vicarage, with its blazing fire of logs, looked all the more warm and comfortable, and the Vicar’s hearty welcome left nothing to be desired. It was as though he were in a nest; the windows were padded with the feathers of snow that had frozen to them overnight. He felt cramped. Then he found that his arm was about a girl and that her head was against his shoulder. She roused and gazed at him drowsily. She sat up, rubbing her fists into her eyes. They stared at each other in amused surprise. A band was playing. The splash of fountains and fluttering of pigeons mingled with the music. Seen from a distance, the statues of dryads and athletes seemed to stoop from their pedestals and to move with the promenading crowd. They watched the eager types by which they were surrounded: artists’ models, work-girls, cocottes; tired-eyed, long-haired, Daudetesque young men; Zouaves, chasseurs, Svengalis—they were people of a fiction world. Some walked in pairs—others solitary. Here two lovers embraced unabashed. There they met for the first time, and made the moment an eternity. Romance, the brevity of life, the warning against foolish caution were in the air. For all these people there was only one quest.

The telephone operators recognized his anxious voice; they cut him off, as though he were a troublesome child, before he had completed his question.

"On Monday night!" "Oh, do say something original—say I'm getting old, and have done with it!" “If you must have it, I came because of you.” Mr Hancock leisurely helped himself to one of the largest and sweetest-looking of the specimens of "Italian confectionery" before[Pg 169] him; Fanny helped herself to its twin, and there was silence for a moment.

Not until the shores of England had faded behind him did he realize the decisiveness of the step he had taken. Divorced from his familiar surroundings, in the No-Man’s-Land of shipboard, he had an opportunity of taking an outsider’s view of his actions. Now that there was no going back, a fatalistic calm settled down on him. During the past weeks he had lived in a tempest of speculations, of wild hopes and unreasonable doubts. He had had to hide his emotions, and yet had dreaded lest they were suspected. The fear of ridicule had been heavy upon him. He had walked on tiptoe, always listening for a voice which never answered. Now at last he regained self-possession. down vest moncler Beside himself with wrath, Gabriel dragged himself up on to his knees and drew his sword from the scabbard. Meg and Nan glanced round at him uneasily; and Hilary, conscious of the movement though her back was turned to the hedge, grew desperate in her anxiety. Being thus in a position to sing and act the part, my greatest difficulties commenced, and I can safely say that I never met a more unscrupulous set of scoundrels than these sixth-rate impresarios who go about Milan, like degraded Satans, seeking whom they may devour. English students, being popularly supposed to be made of money, are their favourite victims, and they demand from these the sum of four or five hundred francs as the price of a scrittura, i.e., an appearance on the stage. In a playful, ironical fashion they call this sum a present, I suppose after the fashion of Henry VIII.--I think it was that king--who dubbed his taxes "Benevolences;" and if you do not make the impresario "a present," you certainly will not get an appearance in Italy. With this money they take a theatre in a small town and put on the opera in which you desire to sing, but even then it is doubtful whether the déb?t so dearly purchased will come off at all. down vest moncler So Coldheart kept his blankets an’ his buffalo meat for himself an’ his son, the Blackbird, an’ gave nothing away.

He retired, mumbling something that sounded like an assent, and going to his desk put the letters in order. “Because——” and there he ended. He couldn’t speak to her of the ugliness they had seen together; she looked so girlish and innocent and fresh. It was hateful that they should share such a memory. It was Gabriel’s last Sunday in Hereford. On Tuesday night he was to lie at Brampton Bryan; on the following day to set off, in company with Sir Robert Harley and his son for London. His heart was heavy as he wondered when he should again see Hilary, yet, although they were not allowed to meet, there was no small comfort in this glimpse of her at morning service, from which no one had the right to debar him; there was comfort, too, in the words they were singing together, and hope and confidence began to possess his heart, and to bring a look of strength to his face.

In childhood this dangerous spirit of moods and fancies had been fostered by an old Scottish nurse, who used to thrill me with wild stories of Highland superstitions, and with weird ballads of elfish fantasy; but since I had mixed in the world I had learned to control and sway my imaginative faculty, and had thus acquired a command over myself. But, as I said before, superstition is in every one, and waxes or wanes according to their surroundings; so the terrors of childish tales, which had been half-forgotten in the bustle of worldly life, now came upon my soul with full force in this haunted city of Verona. The burial-ground, the ghostly room, the accursed palace, the phantoms of evil-seeming, all these peopled the chambers of my brain, with their unreal horrors, until I became so nervous and unstrung, that every sudden noise, every unexpected sound, and every shadowy comer, made me thrill with supernatural fear as if I were again a child listening to tales of devildom. moncler bodywarmer "Your remark."

If a man’s too good to her, she doesn’t try to be nobly good in return; she takes advantage. She plays pranks with him—wants to see how much he’ll forgive her; if he’s still magnanimous, she despises him. It takes a good woman to appreciate a good man; few women are both good and beautiful. It wasn’t till Mary Magdalene had lost her looks that she broke the alabaster box of ointment. What I mean is that beautiful women are cruel; God gives them too much power. Oh, yes, it’s true. Desire’s like that—sweetly ungrateful. I can see myself in her. A man’ll have to be a brute to make her love him.—Ah, you almost hate me! I wish she could make you hate her so that you’d go home to Eden Row, and—oh, do big work and marry another Dearie.

She lifted up her candle the better to see him, and something in his clear honest eyes brought her instant relief.

The very day after she had received it came tidings that Prince Rupert had taken Bristol, and the news so appalled the citizens that Alderman Pury determined to lose no time in sending his charge to London, for it was now almost certain that the Royalists would besiege Gloucester. "Oh, how could you?" red moncler jacket with fur hood For a minute his heart beat high with hope, for he was certain that the men wore orange scarves; then, with a pang, he saw that many had been stripped of their buff coats, while, from their dejected bearing, it was only too evident that they were prisoners. "At the head of the stairs?" Being close to me she could hear quite plainly, and gave a kind of gasping cry as she fell back into the arms of Beltrami, just as he was helping her into the carriage. shop moncler outlet My fear had passed away. I felt intensely curious to know the errand upon which this woman was bent, and, with all my faculties sharpened by danger, I sped swiftly after this flying spectre, which, looking neither to right nor left, glided rapidly onward towards the sleeping city of Verona. "He is very clever, isn't he?" put in Miss Lambert, during a pause in the exordium. "I'll take my leave, so as not to interrupt you," said Mrs. Snow graciously; "then you can talk to the man. What a charming place!" She looked round severely and walked from one carriage to another. "Your bedroom, a dining-room, another bedroom"; then she stopped at the dungeon and tried the door. "Oh, Bluebeard's chamber! I must not look in here."

Norton felt that he could not fight one in such extremity. “Say, Jake,” retorts Bill; “I’ll gamble that you an’ your hoss thieves ain’t got the sand to come after me.

His forehead was good, his jaw hard, his nose arched, while his gray-blue eyes, half sour, half humorous and deeply wise of the world, gleamed in his head with the shine of beads.

“That is what irks him so sorely, for they ruin the property of all his old friends and neighbours. But tell me of my brother, for I have not clapped eyes on him since you took Winchester.” "Tell Bevan I relinquish all fishing rights. Wish to be friends.—George Lambert." "But, why on earth did you think I had a black beard?" “Thieves must be punished. You mustn’t do it again.” Then, with a quick uplifting of her eyes—so quick that the gray seas seemed to splash over: “Come, Meester Deek, let’s forget and be happy.” “What is the meaning of this, Colonel Norton?” “Hulloa!” she called breezily. “You haven’t been long. Did you only paddle or did you duck your head as well?” He did not for a moment grasp the importance of this piece of intelligence. Then it broke on him. Now that Fanny's father was provided for, she would be free to marry any one she liked.

Rockfish for a special dinning experience for the Classic Boat Festival Attendees

409 S Talbot St. or 410-745-3081go early to beat the crowd

Fresh, local caught, Rockfish (stripped bass) prepared by the Chef at Ava’s Wine Bar and  Pizza Café on Talbot St. (the main street in St. Miachaels) is the off menu special treat  for visitors and locals Sat-Sun, June 19-20 or until the fisherman’s catch runs out.

I tired to get some Friday, June 18 and had not come in yet. Seabuddy / chris brown chases this special  as its such a treat. I will have to come back on Sat., I guess.

Rockfish with a light Lemom-caper-pecan-butter sauce is just the right preparation to compliment off fresh fish.

For a pre-course, try the Green Bean and Prosciutto salad with Parmesan Cheese and Ponzu Style Dressing or share three of Ma’s Meatballs as a slider with house-made mozzarella.

Short Ribs is a good dinner if you do not want the fish special. Of course, there is also gourmet pizza that made the Café’s reputation, too.

BTW, do not pass up the opportunity to try a small order of the Desert Donuts for a unique treat.

Its Tapas Thursday at Key Lime Café

Seabuddy / chris brown thinks the word tapas is used in the USA to mean small plates of wonderful food. You mix and match to make a meal of diverse dishes for a unique dinning experience on the Eastern Shore in the Town of St. Michaels, MD at the Key Lime Cafe.

BTW, I had the most perfect breakfast at the same Key Lime Café on Thursday morning. It has to be the best café for breakfast on the Eastern on Sunday, friendly staff, and good food – its all there at the Key Lime Café.Shore. Open daily, Brunch served Sunday.

Paying The Bill

Halfway through the chicken parmagiana, we hear a cell phone ring.

David and I look at each other. Is that us? I'm already reaching under the table for my purse before I realize that no, of course it isn't us: my cell phone is deader than Michael Jackson's career at the moment, thanks to a minor billing dispute with my podunk phone company. (*They* say I haven't paid them since December. *I* say they haven't presented me with an actual BILL since NOVEMBER. We are having some difficulty seeing eye-to-eye on this one.)  And David doesn't even own a cell phone, actually. Which means that the ringing phone must belong to a member of the creepy foursome seated at the table directly behind us.

I stop chewing for a moment so I can eavesdrop properly.

The ringing abruptly stops. I think it's the older woman who answers it -- the woman with the hula hoop earrings and the missing front teeth -- but I've got my back turned to their table, so I can't be 100% sure. I caught a glimpse of her and her dining companions as the waitress led them to their table earlier: a pair of slack-jawed Suburban Goth teenagers and a slightly older, slightly worn-looking couple in matching Oakland Raiders jackets. The four of them exuded a collective aura of menace and Marlboros, as they walked past our table. But it was the older guy -- one of those annoying, beefy little pit-bull guys, all "Fudk You" swagger and Budweiser sensibility -- who gave me a serious case of the creeps.

He looked at me with those dead, angry eyes of his, and it was like he'd just stuck his tongue into my brain.

I was hoping the waitress would seat them at one of the empty tables on the far side of the restaurant ... but no such luck. It's the Valentine's Day dinner rush, and we're all crowded together in this microscopic dining room like Altoids in a tin. The creepy group behind us has been fighting and cursing and bumping into the back of my chair for half an appetizer and most of an entree now.

Not exactly the quiet, intimate Valentine's Day dinner of my dreams ... but at least the chicken parmagiana is to die for.

The older woman mutters something dark and malevolent into the phone -- it sounds like "I warned you not to call us here" -- and then I hear her pass the phone over to her male companion. "It's for you," she says tersely. "Make it quick."

"Shut up," he replies.

I reach into the bread basket for the last sourdough roll. "Would you like to split this with me?" I ask David. He nods, his mouth already full of pesto and gorgonzola. I tear the roll in half and carefully spread both halves with a thin layer of butter, then hand him his half across the table.

"Thank you, honey," David says.

"You're welcome," I reply, and we smile at each other lovingly.

The older man grabs the phone away from his female companion. "Hey!" he shouts into the receiver. "Where the fudk you AT, man? She got your nuts in a LIPLOCK or something?" And he slams his schooner of beer down onto the tabletop, bursting into wild, ragged, crazy-guy laughter. Thus begins a loud, lengthy, mostly one-sided conversation, filled with enough off-color imagery and four-letter language to make an Osbourne blush.

"How's your chicken parmagiana?" David asks me politely, over the hubbub.

I smile. "It's incredible," I reply. "The sauce is perfect this time. How is your gnocchi?"

"It's very good," he says. "Would you like a bite?"

I clear off a space on one side of the ramekin, and David carefully deposits a spoonful of gnocchi next to my pasta and mixed vegetables. In return, I carve off a good-sized chunk of breaded chicken and marinara sauce and pass them across the table to him, feeding him directly from my fork.

"Delicious!" David beams. We scrinch up our noses, Meg Ryanlike, and make little kissy noises at each other.

Behind us, Idiot Cell Phone Guy is leaning back in his chair, spewing obscenities into the phone. "What the fudk you wanna do THAT for?" he says. "How the goddamn fudk you gonna fudking pay for THAT? You gonna start shitting MONEY?" As he's spewing, he leans back a quarter of an inch too far, and the back of his chair bumps into the back of my chair with a solid thunk ... not hard enough to knock either one of us over, but hard enough to jostle the soda glass I'm holding in my hand. Pepsi spills into my chicken parmagiana and on the sleeve of my tomato-red jacket. I glance over my shoulder -- more reflex than reproach, really: I just want to know if he's planning to bump into me again -- and for a split second I accidentally lock eyes with the girlfriend. Her face is pinched and angry-looking. A moment later, I hear her hissing at him to lower his voice ... that he's bothering the people at the next table.

"Hey!" the man snarls. "THEY don't pay my fudking PHONE BILLS, do they? Then they can just KISS MY ASS if they don't like it!"

Shocked silence descends across the tiny restaurant. All heads turn in our direction. David hands me a napkin so I can blot the spilled Pepsi off my sleeve.

"How about dessert?" he asks cheerfully. "Should we go for the tiramisu?"

I finish wiping up the spilled Pepsi, fold the napkin carefully and place it to one side of my plate, and pick up my dessert menu. I'm torn, frankly. I love the tiramisu here, but service has been kind of iffy tonight. It took the overwhelmed teenaged waitress almost twenty minutes just to bring us our appetizer and drinks, then another forty-five minutes to bring the entrees. I don't want to spend another hour and a half sitting here waiting for a simple dessert order to be processed. "I think maybe we should just go home and have some ice cream in bed," I say. "What do you think?"

David agrees. "That sounds great," he says, winking suggestively. And he starts looking around the crowded restaurant, hoping to catch the eye of our waitress.

Behind us, Idiot Cell Phone Guy concludes his phone conversation. "I'll call you later," he says. His voice has dropped by several decibels, but now he sounds sulky and defiant. "We're gonna eat now ... if the goddamned fudking FOOD ever gets here." He hangs up -- I hear the faint beep as the connection is severed -- and he slams the phone down on the table.

"Fudk you," he mutters. I have no idea to whom this is directed. I don't really care.

Fifteen minutes later, our bill has finally been negotiated, our leftover food styrofoamed and bagged, our candle extinguished. David helps me into my coat. "Thank you for dinner," he says, and he leans over and kisses me tenderly, right there in the middle of the restaurant.

"You're welcome," I reply. "Happy Valentine's Day."

Everybody at Idiot Cell Phone Guy's table is watching us: I can feel the heat of their eyes on us as we walk out the door, hand in hand. I don't look at them. I already know what I would see if I looked at him, anyway: that stoopidly defiant expression that all annoying beefy little pitbull guys wear when they think they're being challenged. Wanna go outside and DO something about it? Frankly ... I'm just not interested. It's Valentine's Day, and I've got much better things to do with the rest of my evening. With luck, I will have forgotten all about this silly little pitbull of a person in fifteen minutes. And if, by some chance, I haven't forgotten all about him in fifteen minutes ... I can always go home and call him Idiot Cell Phone Guy on my website.

He doesn't pay my ISP bill, after all. He can kiss my ass if he doesn't like it.

Resonance 2018

Resonance is a concert performance of original music, composed by Alison Jones, inspired by legends of female warriors, from a time when honour and elemental forces were the powers that influenced lives.
Resonance introduces a brand new style of performance, blending haunting music and exhilarating dance into an unforgettable evening. The original concert pieces are composed by Alison Jones and performed live by Alison on violin and vocals, together with six musicians on a variety of instruments, including flute, guitar and clàrsach (Celticharp). A fusion of flamenco, classical, Arabic and Scottish disciplines, the composition is inspired by the legend of a conquering young Celt, who encounters a tribe of formidable warrior women and learns from them the value of love, respect and equality.
What makes Resonance especially dynamic is the mirroring of the hero’s journey in a thrilling series of dance pieces, choreographed by dancer and martial arts European champion Cecily Fay. Two dancers play out the narrative on stage in a combination of dance, martial arts and acrobatics.

Resonance is so much more than a concert, giving audiences a unique and engaging experience.

 A tour of 3 concerts will journey through the South West, complimented by 2 workshops for local disadvantaged women, exploring self esteem and confidence through music, drama and dance.
Having secured funding from ArtsCouncil England, West Dorset District Council, South Somerset District Counciland Corsham Town Council, Resonance will journey across SouthWest England from the 6th  – 8th June2018:

– Wednesday 6th June at The Poly in Falmouth; book your ticket:

Veteran's Day Drive

How is everyone? I think I am feeling a little better....but it's so dry and my allergies are just so awful this year. I feel so tired all the time. It's a miserable thing.

We took a little drive to Nevada City California on Veteran's day and then drove through the mountains. It got us out of the house for about 5 hours. Just took some walks and had a nice lunch with my sweetie.

Here I am at the top of a mountain in Tahoe National Park

Nevada City on Veteran's Day

Old Church in Nevada City

Old Firehouse in Nevada City

I didn't work on a quilt last week, I took a break. Today I started a new quilt one for my daughter. I have one more to do after that for Christmas, I am on tract to finish them both! yay!

I had the pleasure of making a few gorgeous bracelets for my neighbor, I had these on my old website Krystal Kat's but when I moved to a new shop I didn't move these, I am going to post these back they are the cutest. I also have some heart shaped ones as well. Darling!!! I need to get them back up on my site. In any event I did manage to add them to my Etsy Shop. It's really hard keeping up with three places to sell my stuff, Etsy, my website and Artfire. But you got to do what you got to do to sell your craft!

Sterling Silver Square Beaded Birthstone Family Custom Bracelet with larger 8mm beads and Swarovski Crystal Pearls.

Sterling Silver Square Beaded Birthstone Family Custom Bracelet with 6mm Swarovski Crystal Beads and Swarovski Crystal Pearls.

Okay now have a great week! ~Kat

  1. Hi Kat, I love your photos that you took on your day trip. I enjoyed them o Instagram also. I love those cute bracelets! Hope you have a wonderful Thursday. Hugs, Dru

  2. Beautiful pictures Kat.. I love ,love the bracelets too.. I bet they would look fabulous with a new sweater..

  3. Hi Kat, that is nice that you can take day trips to such nice places. I like your bracelets too. I am crafting now for Christmas. We are warm here and dry. The weather will change when I don't want it too. Enjoy the rest if the week!

  4. What a lovely day! Thank you, Kat, for sharing with us :) Your bracelets are so pretty and I can tell they are lovingly made. Thank you, friend, for the many wonderful comments on my blog - I love hearing from you! The yo-yo- coasters work fairly well for glasses. They are great for mugs and bigger drinking glasses. If you use a narrow glass than it may be a bit tipsy on the coaster. Happy weekend, sweet lady!

Have a wonderful day! ~Kat

Project Life 2015 Week 3 & 4 | Inspiration

Hello! This is Rachel, and I would like to share with you 2 of my Project Life 2015 spreads. I am happy to say that I am staying current for this year! Using the 2 wonderful smart phone apps – Collect and Project Life, my documenting process has so far been a breeze and I managed to complete 3 weeks worth of captured memories! Yay!

I edited most of my photos in my phone before I update my daily snapshot in the Collect App. And with the Project Life App, I planned out my weekly layout. Fast and easy.

With all the required photos printed, next was the final touch up with some pretty embellishments! I have to admit, Evalicious’s puffy stickers are just PREFECT for Project Life, especially the Photo Shoot series.These small yet amazing elements gave a special touch and provided good dimensional effect to the individual photos effortlessly.

I had fun with my Project Life, and I hope you enjoy seeing what I have created. Thank you for stopping by!
