Description: The combined Grayson Highlands and Mt. Rogers National Recreation Area has to be the biggest crown jewel in the VA hiking crown. I can only say that no other hike in VA comes close to what this venue has to offer you. Combine the exposed balds of the Highlands, volcanic looking rock formations to play on, the constant changes in landscape, fields and tunnels of Catawba Rhododendrons blooming in mid-June, clusters of Mountain Laurel and Flame Azaleas at the lower elevations in May and June, Rhododendron maximum (white Rhodos) in bloom along the streams in July, vista after amazing vista .... then throw in the wild ponies like a cherry on top of a giant Banana Split and you have the Highlands!
This is the third of three hikes exploring the beautiful and ever popular Mt. Rogers N.R.A. and Grayson Highlands. (See Grayson Highlands SP and Grayson Highlands-2 hikes.) It is described as a three day, 21 mile, moderate loop with approximately 3300 feet of elevation gain although it can easily be done in two days if you arrive early enough and don't have a long drive home. An intermediate campsite will be described if you wish to try this option.
Trailhead Security: This hike can either be started at the Mt. Rogers Trailhead or AT parking lot, both located on Rt. 603, however, due to a continuing incidence of car break-ins and thefts at these locations that have been going on for over ten years we recommend that you park at the Grindstone Campground and pay $3.00/night. It's worth the added security. I had it happen to me.
Trail Notes: Day 1 (7.8 miles): From the parking area walk down the main campground road towards the entrance. Turn right onto the signed Mt. Rogers Spur. In 0.73 miles from the parking lot turn right onto the blue blazed Mt. Rogers trail. Switchback gradually to a flat area. In 2.06 miles from the last trail junction pass the blue blazed Lewis Fork Spur Trail on the left. In another 1.87 miles bear left onto the AT as the Mt. Rogers Trail ends. In 0.95 miles arrive at the first of many vistas looking out over the Highlands. Continue on the AT and in 0.91 more miles arrive at the Mt. Rogers Summit Trail. Turn left onto it and climb gradually for 0.54 miles to a large boulder with a USGS marker on it. Most people think this is the summit. It is not. Continue on the trail for about 10 more steps to a smaller boulder that also has a marker. According to the altimeter in my GPS the top of this rock is five feet higher than the previous one. This is the highest point in VA at 5,720 feet. Return to the AT and travel 0.16 miles to the Thomas Knob Shelter. There are nice campsites on either side of it and a spring in the corral behind it. This is you home for the night if doing this hike over three days. Enjoy the views and the ponies as you settle in for the night.
Day 2 (8.1 miles): Continue northbound on the AT. You'll pass several other "dry" campsites as you go. At 0.98 miles arrive at the west terminus of the Pine Mountain Trail. Just before this, on the left is a giant rock outcrop that is easy to climb and provides a 360 degree view of the area. The Pine Mountain Trail was the original route of the AT before it was re-routed to share the Highlands with the through hikers.
Shortly after passing Pine Mountain Trail turn left onto the Crest trail. This is an unblazed but obvious multipurpose trail. At first the going is over lose rock but soon becomes more bearable. If hiking this in mid-June you'll be surrounded by blooming Catawba Rhododendrons. In 1.18 miles pass a side trail on the right with a water sign. If you are doing this trek over two days turn right here and find a nice grassy campsite with a view and cool spring water.
Continuing on, pass a couple of horse campsites and arrive at the junction of the Lewis Fork Trail in about 0.10 miles from the "water" trail. Continue on the Crest trail and descend to the Scales in another 1.85 miles. This is where cattle were herded prior to market in days long gone. Find piped spring water and latrines inside the corral. Immediately turn left onto the AT and climb for 0.98 miles to the east terminus of the Pine Mountain Trail (not signed here but blazed blue.). You'll pass another nice campsite next to a spring prior to this junction. If you stay on the AT it will be a quick 2 mile downhill hike to the Old Orchard Shelter, your home for the night. To extend the hike turn left onto the Pine Mountain Trail. Pass two dry campsites, one on the right almost immediately after turning onto the trail and the next on the left, 0.34 miles from the AT junction. Cross an exposed spring before arriving at the junction of the Lewis Fork Trail in 0.54 more miles from the last campsite. Turn right and soon pass another campsite. Almost immediately turn right onto the Cliffside Trail. Cross a spring that makes the last campsite a very viable option and descend steeply for 0.65 miles to another junction with the Lewis Fork Trail. There is no sign here but it is quite obvious. Turn right here. In 1.04 miles the Lewis Fork Trail makes a hairpin left turn but the road/trail ahead of you continues as the Old Orchard Trail. Stay straight, cross a stream and pass some very nice gassy camp sites under the trees on the right. In 0.4 miles from the Lewis Fork junction turn right onto the AT and in a hundred yards or so arrive at the Old Orchard Shelter and your home for the night. There is another nice campsite just before it.
Day 3 (4.5 miles): Today is pretty easy. Retrace your steps to the Old Orchard Trail junction. Cross it and jog slightly to the left to stay on the AT. Descend into the valley. Cross Rt. 603 in 1.45 miles from camp and immediately turn left onto the Fairwood Valley Horse Trail. Despite being a horse trail I found this to be a pretty good connector trail as you pass in and out of deep woods with Rhododendron thickets and open meadows with the sky and the mountains you've been exploring as a backdrop. You'll pass the northern terminus of the Cliffside trail on the left in 0.32 miles and then a high water route shortly after that. Cross a stream (I think it is the Lewis Fork) and in 0.10 miles pass the terminus of the trail of the same name on the left. In 0.87 more miles bear left onto a footpath that leads to the Mount Rogers Trailhead parking lot. Turn right onto Rt. 603 for a few steps and then left onto the boardwalk that marks the beginning of the Mount Rogers Trail. In 0.63 miles arrive at the Grindstone Campground Spur. Turn right and retrace your initial steps of the trip back to your vehicle.
We did it in two days. Day one we did as prescribed, day two 13 miles. The terrain was quite rocky and very wet. Good hiking boots seemed like a must-have for me. The only "brutal" stretch for us was the .65 mile decent down the Cliffside Trail. Very steep and hard on the calves.
James Leo's PDF trail notes were very helpful, thanks! Despite many connector trails, etc., this hike was pretty easy to follow. I only checked location on GPS two or three times.
Parking at Grindstone was excellent and easy. The campground manager was very nice. The shower there after hike was also excellent!
It was nice to do most of the climbing on day one and get it out of the way. As we departed I met a group who did basically the same hike but in opposite direction and I kept thinking that I was glad we climbed quickly first, and then descended.
Thomas Knob Shelter was full when we got there so after visiting for a few minutes we walked to the first campsite on the right side of the trail and pitched tent. This proved to be way too windy so I moved tent to more sheltered area across trail. It was a VERY, VERY windy night with a thunderstorm. Be careful not to get seduced into a campsite with a "great view" if it is windy. There are MANY excellent campsites a little farther down trail from shelter (like 500-1000 yards). Lots of nice sites tucked in the woods.
The spring water at Thomas Knob is a good 500 yards below shelter but not too terribly hard to find. It's really there!
The view at Thomas Knob and on the way up there was fabulous, however it didn't last very long for us. As the day grew long, the fog/clouds rolled in and we were pretty much socked in for rest of hike.
Day two we got up and got moving fast and early because we were wet and cold. The hike through Grayson Highlands was very nice (see photo). It felt mysterious and Scottish, for sure.
We made it to the Scales by mid-morning. The spring there was running but the black pipe into the corral was clogged (look for yellow "Water not tested" sign on inside of corral fence). I ended up getting water from the "spring" at a trail junction later on hike. There was water running everywhere -- it's been very rainy this year.
We got to Old Orchard shelter by mid-day, where we had a nice visit with some other hikers while we dried out a little bit and cooked lunch and made coffee. It was only about 2 pm and so we decided to go ahead and hike the last 5 miles and make it a 2 day hike instead of a three day. We hike fast, I guess!
We looked for a place for dinner in Damascus but didn't see anything open that looked good. We ended up at Los Arcos near second (southermost?) I-81 exit in Abington. Excellent Mexican food!
Critique: I am including a 2000 word blog post I wrote detailing this trip and 25+ photos. Definitely feel free to take a look at that to get the entire details of my trip. We had a fantastic time and I definitely encourage anyone to do this route.
1) If you are doing the two day hike, please plan on staying somewhere OTHER than the suggested campsite. There is no water there. Perhaps the spring was simply dried up when we were there, but we ended up going all the way to The Scales. The campsite was beautiful and would have been a perfect evening, but it wasn't to be the case for us. The Scales was a great campsite for us nonetheless.
2) Let me preface this section with the fact that our entire group wore Vibrams. My wife and I were very intentional with this. My wife and I often train minimalist (I was a previous college XC runner) and wanted to experience a multi-day hike with the Vibrams. Therefore, take these comments with the fact that we wore Vibrams in mind. The loose rock is pretty terrible for us. It is slow going, and there really wasn't a part of it that was bearable, in my opinion. I imagine that this would have absolutely not been the case for anyone who is hiking in traditional hiking footwear.
3) Otherwise, everything is pretty much spot on. The author provides amazing detail and has really done his research. As our group looks to continue Peakbagging, I will be sure to look for his route suggestions again for the Mid Atlantic region. This was a fantastic hike, and other than those couple of hiccups, everything was extremely smooth. If you decide to do this, enjoy! The ponies, a summit, and the highlands views are simply amazing.
Critique: After reading the trail notes for this hike, I was definitely excited about coming to Mt. Rogers. We stayed at Grindstone Campground as our drive from Ohio was 6.5 hours and we came in on a Thursday. We started Friday morning but the connector trail from the campground was closed as a tornado had taken down many trees. We walked Rt. 603 down to the start of the Mt. Rogers trail. That trail is very tightly packed with vegetation, though a very well marked and steady trail. It was overgrown due to the phenomenal spring/summer weather so far. Once we got onto the AT, it was completely different. My husband, who had never hiked any section before was pleasantly surprised at the shape of the trail and how well it's taken care of. We lunched at the beautiful bald overlooking the mountains. Not to be missed for sure. We unfortunately hit the open mountain up to Mt. Rogers during the hot afternoon sun and the climb soon wore us out. It is only a short hike from there to the shelter, which for us was about 2:00 p.m. A little too early for our taste, and because we didn't know the trail, did not head on to find another campsite later on. We could have done so because there are so many beautiful campsites in the next mile or so of trail. Keep that in mind when you go. Mt. Rogers peak was a little sad, because there is no view. Tall trees surround the top so you don't get the beautiful view that you get at Thomas Knob shelter. Spectacular sunset. As for the Crest Trail, it was very well marked with a sign and we found our way down to Scales with no problem. Again, this part of the trail is completely open and so we were glad we hiked it early and the sun wasn't beating yet. Scales is a nice respite and once you regain the AT it's all woods and cool and clear. We decided to hike out the same day. It was only 8 miles and again, made it to Old Orchard by 1:30. We rested for an hour and then took the next (EASY) 4.5 miles out.
We got back to Grindstone about 4:45 and booked a campsite. The last mile on the horse trail is climbing the hill back up, be ready for that, but overall that horse trail was great! Got to talk to a lot of horse people and the road is wide and not too muddy. Great suggestion for a hike, the only negative was the early arrival to shelters. My husband isn't one for just hanging out and it seemed we had too much time. I prefer getting in around 5 or 6 to camp. Other than that, was terrific!!
Critique: We linked Grayson Highlands and Mount Rodgers for a fantastic 3 day backpack loop. We started on Mount Rodgers and the trail is maintained very nicely. Once you near the top, the smell of evergreens hits you, and you're in heaven. Even with the elevation gain, this was not that hard of a climb. It is not that steep, although it does go on for a few miles. The view from the shelter and campsites is amazing. I took a group with me and I decided not to tell them about the trip to surprise them. Once we got into Grayson Highlands, everyone loved the rock formations and the ponies. The rocks are very cool looking and so much fun to play on. They could not believe the openness of the Highlands and the ponies topped it all off.
All in all what a great hike! We hiked in June, so the flowers were blooming, the grass was green and the sky was blue with huge white puffy clouds. We had perfect weather and it made for an awesome trip.
Note: We did heed the warning about parking and paid the $3.00 a night at Grindstone. I am glad we did. We had no incidents, and it was one less thing I had to worry about.
Critique: Parked at Grindstone and it seemed secure. I don't know if these conditions were common, but all the open areas were very windy, there were rapid weather & temperature changes and it got much colder than the forecast predicted. Although there were tent sites nearby, we stayed in the Thomas Knob Shelter on the first night because heavy rain was forecast overnight. It was incredibly windy there, with a steady roar all night from the wind & downpours with the metal roof shaking & banging like it was going to blow apart. Ponies came right to the shelter opening in the evening & morning and we saw several others in the distance at other times. We didn't leave the shelter until almost noon on Day 2 because of the rain but the skies cleared and we were treated to great views of the Highlands. Lots of running water in the trails but bridges over all major creek crossings. On Day 2 we deviated from this route and just hiked the AT for 11.1 miles to Old Orchard Shelter where there were lots of nice places to set up a tent. Woke up to sunny skies but a fresh layer of snow covering our tent on Day 3. Overall, the wonderful open vistas, ponies and extreme weather made a great adventure. Thanks for this very helpful map and description!
James when through a lot of effort to make a table of trail notes with his comments. It's too large to post here but you can read the PDF file here. You can see his awesome photos here.
Critique: I did most of this hike a few weeks ago. The first day was a let down because we had less than one hundred feet of visibility. The second day was great though. The clouds and fog lifted, and we had great views. We almost missed the highest point though because we summited before sunrise. While we were waiting for the sun to come up, we thought that we were at the peak because we saw the marker on the rock in the opening. However, after a few minutes, we noticed another marker, off to the right of the opening, in the woods, on a rock that was a few feet taller than the one in the opening. Luckily we found it, because a 6 hour drive to NOT hit the high point, would've been a real bummer. Definitely an awesome hike though.

Cover Reveal: Bro Code by Kendall Ryan
There's pretty much only one rule when you're a guy. Don't be a douche. Turns out, the fastest way to break that rule is to fall for your best friend's sister. Ava's brilliant, sharp-tongued, gorgeous, and ten years younger than me. She's the sexual equivalent of running with scissors. In a word, she's dangerous. And completely off-limits. Falling for her could ruin everything. Yet I can't seem to stop, even when her company is threatened by a lawsuit, and my promotion hinges on representing the opposing client—and winning. I can't see a way out of this mess that doesn't end in a broken friendship, a broken heart, or a ruined career. I may have broken the bro code when I fell for Ava. But do I have the balls to handle what comes next?

New Lawsuit Accuses Charleston Bishop Of Sexual Abuse
A lawsuit filed Wednesday accuses Charleston Bishop Robert E. Guglielmone of repeatedly sexually abusing a young boy more than 40 years ago while serving as a pastor in New York.
The bishop, the highest-ranking Roman Catholic official in South Carolina, denies the allegation, which was part of a flurry of lawsuits filed in New York after the state extended its statute of limitations in sexual abuse cases.
At the time, Guglielmone was serving as a priest at St. Martin of Tours Catholic Church in Amityville, N.Y., in the Diocese of Rockville Centre, the Roman Catholic Diocese of Charleston stated.
The lawsuit states Guglielmone was known in the community and among children at the church as a sexual predator. The suit alleges Guglielmone molested and performed sex acts on the boy beginning in 1978, when the child was 8 years old.
Guglielmone allegedly told the boy it was "God's will" and "God will reward his children if they did what was asked of them."

THE POLICE community support officer for Topsham said progress had been made to address a number of priorities set at the town's last PACT meeting.
Alcohol-related anti-social behaviour, speeding, and cycling and parking on footways, were named as the four issues of concern at the panel meeting held last October.
In terms of speeding issues, PCSO Percy Giles, said: "I am going out at least four times a month with my SID machine (a speed indication device).
"I take it to places such as Exeter Road, Denver, Elm Grove and Clyst Roads - areas that have been highlighted by members of the public.
"And, thanks to the public consultation we held in the town and through the work of councillor Andrew Leadbetter, the 20mph speed zone measures have been approved.
"It is just a case of waiting for that to be implemented."
Speaking about alcohol-related anti-social behaviour concerns, Mr Giles added: "There was a licensees meeting last month where we brought down the licensing officer from Devon and Cornwall police.
"We highlighted the issues we had at the carnival and also the Topsham Ten. The licensees all agreed to put a cap on the number of drink they were willing to serve groups.
"Also, water will be made available on the bars free of charge for people to help themselves. This will help them hydrate and sober up.
"Topsham welcomes large groups of people out on social occasions but we would like them to be respectful of residents by keeping noise to a minimum and mindful of their behaviour.

Reading Now Winged Humanoids That Soar Across the Skies of the U.K.
Winged Humanoids That Soar Across the Skies of the U.K.
Just about everyone has heard of the red-eyed Mothman – the winged thing that struck terror in the people of Point Pleasant, West Virginia from late 1966 to December 1967. But, what about the U.K.'s equivalents of Mothman? How many people may know about them? With those questions in mind, let's take a look at some of these strange things that have been seen in the skies in the U.K. We'll begin with a creature that first surfaced in the summer of 1976. It is known as Owlman. In 1976 the dense trees surrounding Mawnan Old Church, Cornwall, England became a veritable magnet for a beast that was christened the Owlman. The majority of those people who crossed paths with the creature asserted that it was human-like in both size and design, and possessed a pair of large wings, fiery red eyes, claws, and exuded an atmosphere of menace. No wonder people make parallels with Mothman. It all began during the weekend of Easter 1976, when two young girls, June and Vicky Melling, had an encounter of a truly nightmarish kind in Mawnan Woods. The girls were on holiday with their parents when they saw a gigantic, feathery 'bird man' hovering over the 13th Century church.
Two fourteen year old girls, Sally Chapman and Barbara Perry, also had the misfortune to have a run-in with the Owlman in 1976. At around 10:00 p.m., while camping in the woods of Mawnan, and as they sat outside of their tent making a pot of tea, the pair heard a strange hissing noise. On looking around, they saw the infernal Owlman staring in their direction from a distance of about sixty feet. Sally said: "It was like a big owl with pointed ears, as big as a man. The eyes were red and glowing. At first I thought that it was someone dressed-up, playing a joke, trying to scare us. I laughed at it. We both did. Then it went up in the air and we both screamed. When it went up you could see its feet!" Sightings of the beast are still occasionally made in the area.
A particularly strange story of an unidentified flying, human-like entity seen in the skies of England surfaced on February 19, 2009. Mike Lockley, then the editor of the now-closed Chase Post newspaper – which covered the Staffordshire, England town of Cannock – stated that nothing less than a flying man-thing had been seen soaring over and around the nearby Cannock Chase woods! And, now, to the heart of the story: "Five locals have contacted the Post after witnessing the figure traveling, seemingly unaided, over houses at around 11am on Sunday, February 8. One described it as a 'Superman' moment – a clear case of 'to Chadsmoor and beyond,'" said the newspaper. Mike Lockley added: "But eagle-eyed Boney Hay villager Clive Wright believes those who reckon they witnessed something supernatural are talking a load of kryptonite. The 68-year-old, who spotted the flying man from the living room window of his Sunnymead Road home, believes the pilot was traveling with the aid of a jet pack – a strap-on engine made famous in the 1965 James Bond movie, Thunderball."
Elliott O' Donnell was an acclaimed authority ghosts and life after death, and who penned dozens of books on supernatural phenomena. Born in 1872, he continued writing until his death in 1965, at the age of ninety-three. O'Donnell also had a deep interest in reports of strange creatures, as the following 19th century account from O'Donnell demonstrates: "Henry Spicer, in his Strange Things Amongst Us, tells the story of a Captain Morgan, an honorable and vivacious gentleman, who, arriving in London in 1841, puts up for the night in a large, old-fashioned hotel. The room in which he slept was full of heavy, antique furniture, reminiscent of the days of King George I, one of the worst periods in modern English history for crime. Despite, however, his grimly suggestive surroundings, Captain Morgan quickly got into bed and was soon asleep. He was abruptly awakened by the sound of flapping, and, on looking up, he saw a huge black bird with outstretched wings and fiery red eyes perched on the rail at the foot of the four-poster bed. The creature flew at him and endeavored to peck his eyes. Captain Morgan resisted, and after a desperate struggle succeeded in driving it to a sofa in the corner of the room, where it settled down and regarded him with great fear in its eyes. Determined to destroy it, he flung himself on the top of it, when, to his surprise and terror, it immediately crumbled into nothingness."
And, finally, going way back in time, there's this: Scotland's River Nairn flows by the site of a historic April 16, 1746 confrontation. Its name: the Battle of Culloden. Scottish lore tells of how, on the night before the violent battle began, a huge, monstrous, bird-like beast was seen hovering and flying above the battlefield. Known as the Skree, this Mothman-style creature had eyes that blazed red, and large and membranous wings like those of a hideous, devilish bat. The creature was seen as a decidedly ill-omen, a precursor to the death and tragedy that loomed on the horizon for the forces of Bonnie Prince Charlie and those of George II. It was a battle that brought to an end what was known as the Jacobite Rising.

Multigrade classes, in which teachers work with more than one curriculum grade at the same time, are widespread in developing countries. They are also surprisingly common in industrialised countries. Yet the needs of learners and teachers in multigrade classes often remain invisible to those who plan, design and fund education centrally. In most countries, multigrade classes arise through necessity rather than choice. In many areas, parents do not have the opportunity to choose between sending their child to a school with multigrade or monograde classes. If they choose not to place their child in a multigrade class, the child will remain uneducated. Access to multigrade classes, and the quality of teaching and learning in them, are central strategies in the worldwide fulfilment of Education for All and the Millennium Development Goals for education.
Another is the large scale Activity Based Learning programme in the state of Tamil Nadu. The film, The Silent Revolution, is a documentary film that describes the programme.

Q: CSS don't change the font in some HTML docs In advance sorry for poor English.
Here is my situation.
I have two HTML documents which have style,size,color,alignment stored in CSS file.
I checked out,everything is linked properly,but font shows up properly in first document only,in second one it seems like there is no font set at all (shows default font).
Strange thing is that,when I change size in CSS file, it changes it in both HTML documents.(but not font).
Where is possible mistake?
EDIT:
I used dev tools in chrome and it shows me that connection between CSS file and HTML is OK.
Here the code:

A: Your fonts are not being applied to the 1st HTMl file because it does not feature #middle, meaning the CSS is working fine.
To fix this, you simply need to add the appropriate id to the 1st HTML file like so:

Tasks

        TEXTTEXTTEXTTEXTTEXTTEXTTEXTTEXT

On a related note, your 1st HTML file doesn't have tags around your main text. You will need to wrap your text with
s or similar, as you have in the 2nd HTML file. Consistency will save you 90% of errors, and speeds up solving them too!
Lastly, you don't need inline styles on your  tag to apply the background, you can do all that in your CSS like so:
body {
    background-image: url(https://pizzamaker.github.io/images/linedpaper.png);
}

Here are some simple guidelines to follow in order to successfully register copyright of a song:
What is a song? A song is a single musical composition that has a melody and, often, words that are sung by a vocalist. Therefore a song consists of two elements – lyrics and a melody. It is important to register both elements in your copyright registration.
To register copyright of a song, the music and lyrics have to be your own original compositions.
How should I copyright my song?
Register copyright of your song in a written format - register the lyrics to your song in writing. This is very important. If there is only an audio format of your lyrics, the words may not be clear enough for a legal adjudicator to understand if there is a dispute of copyright ownership and legal proceedings ensue.
Register copyright of the musical notation of your song if available – if you have a written form of your melody it is important to include it in your copyright registration.
Register copyright of any audio or audio-visual formats of your song – register copyright of sound recordings and videos. This will register copyright of the melody element of the song, especially if you have no written musical notation as described in the point above.
Should I register copyright of my song before or after I record it or put it online? Once you have written a song, register its copyright straight away. By registering copyright of your song before any form of publication (including performing live before an audience) you will have the best chance of proving copyright ownership should an infringement occur.
What does copyright ownership of a song mean?
When you have created a song you have automatically become the copyright owner of that song. As a music copyright owner you have the rights to:
1. Copy the music
2. Distribute it
3. Perform your music in public
4. Lend or rent it to the public
5. Have your name on copies of the music
6. Change/edit it
7. Broadcast your music
If I am automatically the copyright owner of the song I write, why should I register copyright of my song with a copyright registration service?
A copyright registration service acts as an independent, third-party. Registering copyright of your song with Copyright House not only gives your the security of knowing that your copyright ownership is registered with an independent third-party, but we store a copy of the original work with a notary body and offer ongoing customer support including free DMCA notices when needed and the arrangement of affidavits if the dispute goes to court.
The two main forms of song copyright are:
Copyright on the song itself. These are author's rights, publisher's rights or mechanical rights.
2. Copyright on a recording. These are called phonographic rights, or neighbouring rights.
Once you have composed your songs and put them on a CD, or website, it is advised to mention that the song copyright belongs to you. The copyright statement which you need for your publication would usually have the copyright symbol ©, then the year in which the song has been published and the statement all rights reserved. It could look like:
1. © artist name, year, all rights reserved
2. ℗ artist name, year, all rights reserved (the p in a circle denotes phonographic rights)
There are slightly different forms of copyright statements for different situations, but the statement should be clear about who the copyright owner is.
Agreements between band members
If you are a member of a band and your songs or music are written collaboratively, there will exist a joint ownership of copyright. You may wish to make a written agreement stating who owns which part of the songs or music. This statement should include what happens to the music copyright if one of the members leave or if the band breaks up. The agreement should ideally be signed in the presence of a legal professional, such as a solicitor.
Proof of Copyright
Apart from registering your copyright with Copyright House, you should always keep copies of demos and proofs of posting of your songs to record companies and music publishers.
It is also important to be able to show the natural development of your musical work.
For this reason, we encourage songwriters to register copyright of all updates and changes of a song if it evolves and we offer copyright registration packages with multiple and unlimited registrations to support that process.
The original registered work is not replaced by the updated version, but both versions of the work are registered separately. This all adds to your proof of ownership of the song.
Registering your song with Copyright House
It is important to know that the cda tracks on your CD don't contain your music. To register your song with Copyright House it is best to have it on your computer in formats such as .mp3 or .wav. MP3 files are much smaller in size than .wav files. For this reason it would be best to convert the .wav files to .mp3 before uploading your song in your secure copyright account area.
The information on this page is not a complete guide but should be regarded as a basic overview to enhance your understanding of copyright. This is not legal advice and should not be considered as such. Some information may not be applicable in certain situations.
Copyright Ownership
Copyright gives the owner of an original work the right to sell, perform or display that work, for both financial and non-financial gain. The copyright owner can reproduce the work, in both the original medium or any other medium, and create subsequent works based on the original.
Register copyright before publishing on any platform

In 2005, Premier McGuinty set up the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) as a temporary agency. Today, that so-called temporary agency has ballooned from 14 employees to more than 300, and of those employees, 75 are on the sunshine list. A full 25% of the OPA's payroll is making more than $100,000 a year. This bloated bureaucracy is now costing Ontario families more than $80 million each and every year.
In 2010, the Ontario Power Authority listed a job posting for a position of 'hospitality coordinator'. This was to be another $100,000+ Sunshine List position for someone to operate the OPA hospitality program and coordinate meeting room set-ups. This person would order and coordinate catering for OPA events. Do you know anyone would be interested in applying for such a position? Well based on the current roster at OPA, it would seem only liberal insiders need apply.
The McGuinty Liberals, it seems, have decided to forgo the 'temporary' designation and keep the OPA as it has provided an excellent feeding trough for liberal supporters and insiders. It is complete with Liberal family ties going back three generations: the Premier's former spokesman and, until recently, OPA vice-president of communications, Ben Chin; former Liberal leader and OPA vice-chair, Lyn McLeod; and former adviser to Liberal Premier David Peterson and OPA board member, Patrick Monahan.
Ben Chin was the vice-president of communications at OPA until his resignation in February 2011. He made $185,000 in 2009. He used to be Dalton McGuinty's spokesperson.
Lyn McLeod is the vice-chair of the OPA. She is paid by the corporation. No per diem information is available, but we do know one thing: She was the former Liberal leader prior to Dalton McGuinty becoming Premier of Ontario.
Adèle Hurley is a board member at the OPA. Hurley is paid by the corporation. She is a former Liberal researcher.
Patrick Monahan is a board member at the OPA. He's also paid by the corporation. He is a former adviser to Liberal Premier David Peterson.
Have you noticed that your hydro bill has become rather unaffordable? The McGuinty Liberals would have you believe it's due to a push for 'green energy', yet isn't it funny how they refuse to acknowledge the cronyism at the OPA, all on the backs of the ratepayers.
On March 28, 2011, a unified opposition voted to abolish the OPA and give ratepayers a break. The McGuinty liberals used their majority and voted instead to keep it in place. It would seem their supporters are entitled to their entitlements. Another example of the abuse taxpayers can expect if the Liberals get another majority this election!
With all these arm's length agencies and boards proliferating everywhere, we wonder what are we paying the civil servants in the Ontario ministries for ?


We were honoured to be chosen to do the mill-work for this magnificent 2.82 ACRE Estate in one of Vancouver's most prestigious areas, the "British Properties". It features 19,000 sq ft of spacious living, 9 Bedrooms (including 2 Master Suites) a large indoor swimming pool, huge walk out terraces, a tennis court and a 6 car garage.
- the vertical sky-light in the center of the bath tub offers a nourishing and intelligent flow of energy and allows for maximum natural light to bathe the room.
We have been proud CMA members since 2013.
We turn to the membership forum for advice almost every time we are facing a dilemma; chances are there is always someone that has solved the same problem we are having and everyone is so friendly and eager to help.
We find the monthly networking events to be very useful and we try to attend whenever we can. There we can tour other plants and see how other companies do things, we visit showrooms where we can get ideas after which we grab a few drinks with our peers.
Also the yearly Benchmark Study helps us tremendously in planning our budget, our marketing strategy and in making good management decisions. We would recommend the CMA to anyone looking to save money, save "trial-and-error-time" and gain extensive industry knowledge.
We make all slab doors and veneers in house and we outsource the wooden doors.
Finishing is currently still being outsourced until we find a good finisher. We recently invested in a fully enclosed spray booth and all Kremiln equipment and will hopefully be able to soon start in-house finishing.

Thursday 22 October 2020, 4.30pm-5.15pm at wheelercentre.com
History shows that people often turn to arts and culture, and to the people who create them, during difficult times. The global pandemic is no exception, with many of us reading more books, watching more movies and listening to more music. At the same time, the arts industries – both artists themselves and people working in the arts – have been among the hardest hit economically by Covid-19. So, what gives? And what does the future hold for creative types?
If you're a creative teen thinking about future study options or a career in the arts, or wondering if your creative talents are still relevant, this talk's for you. Liminal magazine founder and PhD student Leah Jing McIntosh and journalist and documentary filmmaker Santilla Chingaipe will survey the changing landscape of the arts in Australia, in conversation with Footscray High School student Felix Briggs.
Our panelists will discuss the value and flexibility of creative skills and critical thinking and they'll talk frankly about the risks and difficulties of careers in the arts, too.
What do creative careers look like today? How do artists and arts workers juggle their creative pursuits with their need to make a living? Is it possible the economic and social upheavals in the post-Covid world will change the way we think about the creative industries?
Join us for a practical talk about dreams, back-up plans and creative futures.
This event is open to everyone, particularly teens in years 9–12, and educators.

Being a teenager is all about change. Adolescence is when most of us form a sense of the world, try to find our place in it and (hopefully) have some fun along the way. Beyond what we learn at school, some of our most valuable learning happens when we discover the communities and ideas that connect us.
In the extraordinary times we live in, Wheeler Education is here to bring the world to teens – and teens to the world. In a series of online events, we'll explore the challenges facing young people right now, and the bold ways they're envisioning their own futures. Hear from teens, writers, and educators about their passions, plans, survival tips and more.

As proved by his cuisine, Takeshi Kubo is a purist who believes in cooking with the best possible produce. From wild suppon turtle in the spring to mackerel pike in the winter, the chef of two-star Goryukubo knows when and where to look for the tastiest treasures across the Japanese seas. Curated on a breathtaking collection of antique tableware, the deepest flavors of the seasons unfold here.
The gourmands were quick to spot this hidden Tokyo restaurant, with Michelin awarding two stars just within 7 months of its opening. It sits on a quiet backstreet just off the main Nishi-Azabu crossing, alongside with some of the most sophisticated restaurants the city offers.
"This area has such a high concentration of incredible restaurants and I wanted to be a part of that scene," Kubo says. Following the gently-lit lanterns, you find your way down a narrow flight of steps into a basement of a building. Inside is a peaceful wooden Japanese interior with soft-lit walls and linear paper shades. A beautiful counter stretches across the main room while the smaller private room offers an intimate setting. One of the apprentices has arranged a single red flower in a thin vase behind the counter, symbolizing the arrival of spring.
Quality and perfection—the philosophy behind the cuisine is simple. Yet the entire ambiance is subtle and minimalist, reflecting the chef's modest disposition and his tendency to avoid big appearances on the media. The name Goryukubo combines characters for Kubo and his son, reflecting his wish that he wants his restaurant something he can truly call his own. Also the symbol for dragon, there's a solid sense of strength in the name.
He seeks for premium ingredients that can make Japan's beautiful seasons come to life. The courses are carefully defined and beautifully crafted, making you hold back your breath as each dish is brought in front of you. After your visit, you find yourself returning again to enjoy the best of another season.
Kubo seeks for authenticity in his dishes and doesn't believe in extravagance. The root of his cooking is traditionally Japanese but you can immediately sense his amazing style to incorporate new ideas to his own cuisine.
Bringing together different flavors, the abalone dish is to be enjoyed multiple folds. The pieces of abalone have been steamed for as long as 6 hours, giving them amazing softness while retaining all its umami inside. They sit on a heap of sticky rice that has absorbed the flavor of the sake. On the side is a stick of seared bachiko, a sea cucumber delicacy, crispy on outside but raw on the inside. Its delicate saltiness adds a beautiful accent.
A plump piece of tilefish is first fried then marinated in dashi broth, infused with the deep flavor of dried tuna flakes and coupled with a square of kamo-nasu eggplant. The dish is topped with a pile of spring onion strings and aromatic kinome herbs for a refreshing contrast.
Next comes a series of grilled dishes, which have become Kubo's signature technique. Of the dozen dishes on a course, about 3 usually come from the grill. "I love grilling using binchotan," a type of Japanese charcoal that produces virtually no flames and no smoke, Kubo explains.
The black throat sea perch is grilled to perfection. The skin is black and crispy while the meat is sweet and soft. The shiny glaze combines the sweetness of the fat and soy sauce.
Next come thick pieces of marbled Ohmi wagyu beef, the edges slightly burnt and inside pink and moist. The soft and juicy slices of tenderloin and rump are covered in seasonal "hana-zansho" (sansho flowers) that add a refreshing kick to the sweet fat of the beef. The meat is cooked flawlessly, using binchotan charcoal that has been resting six or seven times for it to be at the perfect temperature.
"Cooking is all about the people," Kubo believes. For that reason, he has deep respects for producers. Without their passion in producing the best ingredients, there is no ultimate cuisine. He stays in close touch with each producer to exchange updates on the produce and share feedback from the guests. The constant communication yields deeper relationships.
Thanks to his extensive research, he can map out the best produce across the country. For spring, his top picks are fat greenling from Aomori, snapper from Awaji, white shirako bamboo shoots from Kyoto and usui endo shoots from Kishu. Summer brings wild softshell suppon turtle from Kumamoto, fat eel from Lake Shinji, pike eel from Amakusa, sweetfish from Nagano, abalone from Awaji, kunukawa eggplant from Ehime.
In the fall, Kubo has his eyes on returned pike eel, again from Amakusa, matsutake mushrooms from various mountains, returned bonito, mackerel pike from Hokkaido. The best of winter includes wild tiger pufferfish from the Bungo channel, rosy seabass from Choshi, Matsuba crab from San'in, surf clam from Oita and colorful Kyoto vegetables. Each season brings a new course to Goryukubo as well as dedicated fans who continue to come back throughout the year. For fish, Kubo thinks freshness is the most important, and sources directly from various ports across Shizuoka, Kyoto, Ehime and Kyushu. Not only does he buy from famous locations but tries to seek for new channels. Lately, he's had some great finds among the day's catch from the port of Yaezu.
The beverage collection is also impressive. There must be at least 20 different brands of Champagne alone. The sake menu features famous bottles like Dassai and Juyondai but also some from boutique breweries. Just like his ingredients, he enjoys sourcing the best drinks from around the world.
Born in Chiba, he was an active and energetic boy, leading him to pursue studies in martial arts. But soon after graduating college, he hurt himself in a bad injury, forcing him to seek a career elsewhere. He thought about enrolling himself in a culinary school but felt it was too late for that so instead he began training at various restaurants across the city.
It was not an easy start when he opened the current restaurant in May 2013. During the first 6 months, only a handful of customers walked through the door. The big accomplishment of winning two Michelin stars also didn't lure many fans immediately.
"But looking back, the tough times pushed me to focus my whole being on the cuisine," Kubo recalled. It helped the restaurant become what it is today, he says.
His beloved son is now in middle school and often tells Kubo that he wants to take on the restaurant someday. As a parent he would never throw a child into the tough world of chefs but deep down he feels happy to hear his son's wish. On days off, he spends most of his time with his three children as well are try new restaurants, including a monthly trip to Tokyo. He is also drawn to the sophistication of many Kyoto restaurants. As he has never trained in Kyoto, he tries to make visits there often, not only to restaurants but also museums, tool stores and other craftsmen.
"I strive to pursue for something truly genuine that I can pass onto the next generation." Kubo reminds himself. "It's important for me to never be satisfied with now but continue to want to evolve." He thinks he can improve the atmosphere of the restaurant and is eyeing a relocation within the Minato neighborhood.
Just like the cuisine, Kubo pursues for perfection in tableware. He usually finds his treasures at a store in Kyoto. In particular, he is proud he was able to locate 15 pieces of the rare glassware that were custom ordered by Harumi Shoten, a famed antique merchant. The intricate design and curve of the square bowl are simply magnificent. He also admires the work of Kitaoji Rosanjin, one of the greatest modern Japanese ceramists.

Starcom Spain Wins the Global Deoleo Account
Categories Spain
Starcom's Madrid office will manage the Deoleo portfolio in more than 20 countries
Starcom, The Human Experience Company, will be leading media strategy and buying across more than 20 markets for the Deoleo Group. Starcom Spain won the well-known Spanish olive oil leader's business after a competitive review that started in late 2019.
The agency will support Deoleo's leading brands such as Bertolli, Carbonell, Carapelli, Maestros de Hojiblanca, Figaro, Koipe, and Sasso, among others. Carbonell's brand new campaign -#AhoraEsBuenMomento- was just launched in Spain, and over the coming weeks will expand into France, the Netherlands and the United States.
Starcom's Madrid office will serve as a global coordinator for the rest of Starcom's network while also directly managing the communication of Deoleo's different brands in Spain.
Rita Gutiérrez, CEO of Starcom, emphasizes that, "Winning a new account is always an amazing piece of news, but it is even more important when it's for such a well-known and appreciated brand as Deóleo is in Spain. Our challenge is clear: help Deoleo maintain its leadership position in Spain while also helping them grow in diverse markets such as India, Germany, France, Mexico, Australia and the USA. We will rely on our leading experience for Spanish accounts and Starcom's global operational excellence to achieve this goal."
Francisco Rionda, Chief Marketing & Innovation Officer, Deoleo: "We are a Spanish multinational, currently located in 75 countries, where we work with all kinds of local agencies. However, we strongly believe in the expertise and talent in Spain. Therefore, when we find a media agency like Starcom, with an international vocation and experience, we will bet on them."


Roses are red. Violets are blue. If you're not planning your Valentine's Day promotions yet, you might lose a few (dollars, that is).
Did you know: Valentine's Day is the third largest consumer-spending holiday in the US, just behind the winter holidays and Mother's Day?
In fact, this year Americans are expected to drop a collective $30 billion for gifts on February 14th, averaging $220 per person. Although this number is slightly lower than last year's statistics, it's a huge opportunity to get in on the promotions right now to capture those potential sales and clients.
So, here are some Valentine's Day salon marketing ideas that will help you win the hearts of your holistic community.
According to statistics, Valentine's Day is when most spas make the most profit. With more couples opting for services like massage and spa treatments as presents, this is a great time to score some product sales as well.
Do you have Oway skincare products that need some push? Try bundling them with your couple's massage service. How about offering a discount on your O&M hair styling products when your client comes in for a new 'do for her date? The possibilities are endless.
2. Make it a Galentine's Day.
What's a Galentine's Day you ask? Usually celebrated on the 13th of February, it's a special day when you and your girl friends get together and celebrate each other!
All you have to do is organize a spa party or a blowout-with-your-bestie kind of day where clients get to bring the special ladies in their lives and get a discount on services.
3. Nothing says 'I love you' like roses (or champagne).
Some clients may not have plans on Valentine's Day and this is a perfect opportunity to show them how much they mean to you. As soon as they come in, greet them with a rose or a glass of champagne. Be sure to diffuse some relaxing essential oils and play your V-Day music playlist to set the mood in the salon.
Trust us when we say these small gestures of appreciation will never be forgotten.
TIP: Check with your state laws before offering wine or champagne. Some states require a license for alcohol consumption on their premises.
Say what you will about gift cards but they're actually a lifesaver for so many people. Especially men. Instead of accidentally buying something their significant others won't like, gift cards can be transformed into something worthwhile.
Apart from that, gift cards are amazing marketing tools for your salon. Because they are passed on to people, they increase your business visibility and as a result, will expand your clientele.
Be sure to make your gift cards accessible though. Offering a digital option or e-gift card will not only ensure fast delivery, it's good for the environment too! Not to mention, clients get to personalize their gift cards by choosing a design they like. If you don't offer this option – we highly recommend that you do.
Have you started your salon promotions? Share your tried-and-tested Valentine's Day promotions in the comments!

Home > Our Insights > Canada's Private Corporation Tax Proposals: Year End Planning in the Face of Uncertainty
Jeffrey Blucher
October 2, 2017 marked the end of the consultation period relating to the taxation of private corporation proposals the Department of Finance (Canada) released on July 18, 2017. The government received over 21,000 written submissions during the consultation period. Since the consultation period ended, the government has made a series of announcements about its July 18, 2017 proposals. Although these announcements are welcome changes to the initial proposals, much uncertainty remains. However, there may still be tax planning steps that private corporations can implement in 2017 to best position themselves for the pending changes, even in the face of this uncertainty.
THE ANNOUNCEMENTS
After the consultation phase ended, the government released a series of announcements about its proposals:
October 16, 2017. The government announced that it will:
Not proceed with the proposed measures to limit access to the capital gains deductions.
Simplify the proposed measures to limit income sprinkling, so that these measures will not affect spouses, children and other family members who make clear and meaningful contributions to the business.
Lower the small business tax rate to 10% on January 1, 2018 and to 9% on January 1, 2019.
October 18, 2017. The government announced it will proceed with measures to limit the tax deferral opportunities relating to passive investments, and will release draft legislation relating to passive investments as part of Budget 2018. The government stated these measures will:
Allow past investments, and the income from those investments, to be protected.
Allow businesses to save for contingencies or future investments in growth.
Create a $50,000 annual threshold on passive income.
Have incentives to ensure venture capital and angel investors can continue to invest in Canadian innovation.
October 19, 2017. The government announced it will not proceed with the proposed measures relating to the conversion of income into capital gains. It also announced that in the coming year it will develop proposals to better accommodate intergenerational transfers of businesses.
October 24, 2017. In the Fall Economic Statement delivered on October 24, 2017, the government confirmed it will release revised income sprinkling legislation later in Fall 2017.
THE REMAINING UNCERTAINTY
These announcements are welcome changes to the initial proposals, but much uncertainty remains although there may still be tax planning steps that private corporations can implement in 2017 to best position themselves for the pending changes:
Income Sprinkling. It is unclear how the government will simplify the income sprinkling proposals. The October 16, 2017 announcement indicated a reasonableness test will remain part of the final legislation. There is speculation spouses may be excluded from the final income sprinkling restrictions, and the age limit may be fixed at age 24. It is also unclear whether capital gains will be excluded from the income sprinkling measures if they are eligible for a capital gains deduction, although this seems a reasonable inference from the government's announcements. Taxpayers must await the Fall 2017 final legislation for answers to these questions. In the meantime, taxpayers should begin seeking professional advice as to the steps they should be considering before the end of 2017, such as ways to maximize distributions to family members at available marginal rates.
Passive Investment Rules. There is also uncertainty as to the details of the final passive investment rules, which will not be resolved until 2018. Until then, taxpayers should consult with their tax advisors to discuss the currently available information. There may be steps taxpayers can implement in 2017 to take full advantage of the anticipated grandfathering aspects of these measures.
