We are a Mom &
Pop business where both Joan and I have a solid background in tax
preparation. I am not a CPA my degree is in Math with a minor in
physics and we have a combined 22 year experience.
Support for the
filer will be provided by both DDTP and our software supplier,
Drake, a North Carolina Company. The Web based program uses an
interview method to prepare your return. The tax program
interviews you by asking questions about your personal finances
then prepares your return.
We have prepared
a fictitious return of a person employed overseas. We are using
this information to provide a description of the steps needed to
prepare the tax return. These steps (forms 1116 & 2555) are then
made available at our WEB site as on screen help.
Your own return
will be quite different. You may have dependents and
investments. You may also have housing allowance and other
benefits. All these issues can be handled by accurately answering
the questions presented by the tax program.
I have already
assisted the supplier of this WEB based process with regard to
the 1116 and 2555 forms. The preparation of the fictitious return
turned up a flaw in the process which was fixed for the 2010
package and the 2011 program. There is a new requirement for a
special form for foreign investments exceeding $10,000 so I will
work with Drake to make that form available. When you are employed
outside the country you get an automatic two month extension to
file. I will make sure that support for the extension is provided. |

| A New & Fun Way To Get Around On
Kwaj Introducing an
innovative & fun form of personal micro transportation that beats
walking or cycling on Kwaj: the Rockboard.
The Rockboard is a dual mode adult kick scooter. Unfold the scooter with
the deck flat and it works like a kick scooter with low rolling
resistance parts. Now set & lift the deck to Rock Mode and the scooter
is propelled by shifting (or rocking) your weight with both legs planted
on the deck.
Composed of painted aluminum and stainless steel, the Rockboard is
highly resistant to corrosion. For top performance, it has the best in
urethane wheels, sealed bearings and a patented chain, cable & pulley
propulsion system (which provides a cruising speed of @ 8-11 mph). The
board weighs @ 20 lbs and folds up like typical scooters so you can
easily carry it by hand. Lastly, although it's been thoroughly
bench/load tested @ 300 lbs, it is warranted for a carry capacity of 200
lbs.
The Rockboard is available from RideTHISbike.com for $199. When shipped
via USPS military mail, delivery is free. Order one today by clicking on
the link below:
http://ridethisbike.com/products/RB/Rockboard-dual-mode-folding-scooter.htm.
By the way, a scaled down version of the Rockboard with a 100 lb carry
capacity is also available through RideTHISbike.com for $150. Thanks for
your time.
Respectfully, Larry Lagarde, email Larry -

NEW KWAJ COOKBOOK ABOUT TO BE
PUBLISHED!
Christian Women’s Fellowship (CWF), formerly known as the Protestant Women’s
Group (PWG), is about to publish a NEW KWAJ COOKBOOK. Historically,
this has been their one source of funding for all the many things they do
throughout the year. This includes hosting retreats with Marshallese
Christian sisters, Bible studies, craft nights, Carlson Christmas (or
Easter) drop and many other service projects. Several years back, the
organization changed its name to be more inclusive to other Christian women
of the island. This includes Protestant, Catholic, Baptist, and Church
of Christ women. We are currently looking for MORE recipes. If you are
interested in submitting one, please e-mail the address at the bottom of
this article. We need all kinds of recipes and would love notes regarding
your life on Kwajalein to make it even more personal. We are also
hoping to include pictures, so if you have a GREAT Kwaj picture (or even of
the reunion, send that along too! THE DEADLINE FOR ALL IS OCTOBER 1st,
so get them in NOW. Do not procrastinate!! Once we receive
everything, we will then send off to the publisher. We hope to have them
back before Christmas, but we are stuck with how we are going to get them on
island with the new postal rules and regulations. So we are not promising
they will be ready. We also do not know a cost yet. If you are
interesting in pre-ordering, feel free to send an e-mail to the address
below and the minute they are ready, we will contact you. THANKS!!

Novel - Rivers of Belief by Richard
Craig Anderson (Kwaj 1989-92)
Michael Brennan is a cop in pursuit of a serial rapist–and the rapist has
targeted Natasha Panova, the love of Michael's life.
Ocean City, Maryland is a gemstone among the east coast resorts, a city of
old values and older sins. In 1994 a predator moves at will through a town
overflowing with tourists, and it appears that he's a cop. Or is he?
Michael is a compassionate ladies man. He takes a personal interest in the
vicious but seemingly unrelated attacks because he is a pro, and because
he's known abuse. Two others are drawn into the hunt: Michael's courageous
friend Officer Levi Hart, and Natasha–a brilliant waitress who dances to a
logical beat. Levi knows one of the victims–but he's reluctant to say
why–and Natasha knows that she is next on the rapist's list. Together, they
trace the clues.
As Michael closes in he discovers that he's become a suspect, and when a
jealous coworker threatens to derail the investigation, he realizes that his
crusade for justice may cost him his soul, Levi his honor, and Natasha her
life. When Michael finally confronts the rapist, he turns out to be someone
who was there all along– but nobody noticed.
Georgetown
Press is a small company with plans to publish four or five new titles
per year. Rivers of Belief is its premier publication.

| Pohnpei Pepper Pohnpei
Pepper Association, PO Box 301, Kolonia, Pohnpei FSM, Tel & Fax 690-320-2201, email:
sei.f.pepper@mail.fm.
What makes Pohnpei pepper so special? Pohnpei has ideal pepper growing
conditions. Ninety percent of the pepper in the world comes from India, Indonesia,
Brazil and Malaysia. Pohnpei certainly can't compete since it has only 130 square
miles of total area and only 40 acres of this is planted in pepper. Pepper plants
need a lot of water; at least 100 inches of rain a year with even distribution. They
don't tolerate a dry season and they love heat. Some people swear by white pepper
and some love the black, both are available, and they com from the same plant. The
black pepper berries are picked when fully grown but still green and then dunked in
scalding water and baked or sun-dried to darken, and the milder white pepper is harvested
from fully ripe red berries which then ferment in water for eight days, their red skins
rubbed off, and then they are baked or dried in the sun. |

Fishing News from Kentucky
Ed Hamblin and I played music together in the mid 1990s at Kwaj. Ed and his wife
Kerry both were good friends on Kwajalein and we continue to stay in contact. Ed
provided me pictures of his daughter great fishing experience. At right is one of
her larger catches of the day. This was caught from his farm pond in Stamping
Ground, KY. |

| Tsunami Risk at Kwajalein Kevin Quinn, mitquinn@comcast.net, Fremont, CA USA. I was
indirectly involved with Kwajalein in the early 80's. I worked with Global Associates and
tried to work on the workers compensation insurance for the employees on the island.
I asked my contact in Oakland about the risk of a tsunami wiping out the place. He told me
the risk was nil, as the drop off from the shore to the ocean floor was severe, and the
shock waves from a quake would not be slowed down as they approached, and then passed
over, Kwajalein. After the tragedy in Asia this past weekend, I see that Maldives
got hammered, and they are a nation of small islands. Anyone have any thoughts on
this? |

You will want to visit our online store every day for "Featured Items"
and "Bonus Buys" that are located on our home page! We innovated these
features primarily because customers are tired of seeing "static" online stores
that never change, and once you have visited these stores initially, there is really no
reason to return to them because everything stays the same – day after day, week
after week, month after month and year after year! The "Featured Items"
window showcases an item for that day, and "Bonus Buys" are items that are on
sale or on clearance. Prices change every day! Please note that a "return" for
refund will not be accepted because of price changes. We know you will be back every day
to check on "Bonus Buy’s" and encourage you to do so. We hope you will
enjoy your shopping experience with us. Thank you for your loyalty and your
