Sam Poueu and Stephanie Anderson, who married in May 2012 after meeting while taping the ninth season of the weight-loss competition, have separated and will file for divorce, her rep told Us Weekly on Wednesday.

“It is with great sadness that my marriage to Sam Poueu is ending,” Anderson told the mag.

More details have emerged in the case of As I Lay Dying frontman Tim Lambesis, who was arrested earlier this week in a murder-for-hire plot in which he allegedly sought someone to kill his estranged wife Meggan. The couple’s divorce papers offer some perspective on the situation and bring to light Meggan’s concerns over Tim’s recent behavior in relation to parenting their three adopted children from Ethiopia.

According to the Associated Press, the divorce docs reveal that the split was largely amicable and that Meggan Lambesis did not fear that her husband was a threat to her safety. However, she claimed that recent changes in his behavior were cause for alarm when it came to caring for their kids.

Meggan described her soon-to-be-ex as “obsessed with bodybuilding” and that he was often distracted while the children, ages 4, 8 and 10, were in his care. He apparently would see the kids about 10 hours per week when not on tour as the couple were no longer living together. However, during that time with the kids, she claims he was often texting and talking on the phone, and once fell asleep while on a day out at the beach. Continue reading…

Limited edition are generally more sought after therefore commanding a high price tag.  The “only one made” art piece by a known artist is even more prestigious ad carries an even higher price tag.  Yonel Lebovici  was  front runner in the game of limited editions when he began sculpting floor lamps in the 1960’s.  He made a limited number of each lamp thus creating a demand.

A 71/2-foot-high safety pin that looks like a modern sculpture actually is a floor lamp made in 1975 by modern artist Yonel Lebovici (1937-1998). In the 1960s, he started making very unusual lamps and other items inspired by everyday objects.

His marketing ideas were unusual for an artist at the time. He made a limited number of each creation, which means he was among the first to sell “limited editions.” He was ahead of the huge popularity of limited-edition plates, figurines and other collectibles.

In the late 1960s, machine-made plates and figurines often were limited to the number made in one year. Collectors paid more for those no longer made. In the 1990s, limited editions lost favor and prices fell. . .  Continue Reading

An antique is classified as something 50 years old or older,  the question is however, whether the item one has is a valuable antique or just something old.  This is where antique appraisal comes in.  An event will be held this weekend for the Chesterfield Historical Society where community members will be able to bring their items to be appraised.  There will be a number of appraisals on hand each with their own specialties, jewelry, furniture,  books and paper goods, coins etc.  It is interesting to know the value of something but the history and the stories behind them are priceless.

It’s hard for average citizens to tell whether an older item is a valuable antique.

If you’re wondering whether that doll in your attic or book on your shelf is worth more than sentimental value, the answer awaits at the fifth annual Antiques Evaluation Workshop, set for 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 13. The event, offered by the Chesterfield Historical Society of Virginia, will be held at Providence Elementary School, which is located at 11001 West Providence Road in South Chesterfield.

Doris Hancock, the event’s organizer, explained that the event, during which local experts will assess antiques, is an annual fundraiser for the Chesterfield Historical Society of Virginia. . . Continue Reading

Supposed new and improved flood maps will take affect June 3rd of this year.  The new maps published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency more accurately record what properties are threatened by flooding.  With the new maps some homes that were previously considered at risk will be removed from the floodplain and will no longer be required to have flood insurance while others will be added to the floodplain and will need to obtain a flood insurance policy.

About 400 Rapid City properties will soon be moved into the floodplain, which means a number of residents will likely have to buy flood insurance for the first time, the city engineer said Monday.

At the same time, another 400 property owners will be removed from the floodplain on June 3 when the newly drawn floodplain maps issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) take effect.

The updated maps more accurately record what properties are threatened by flooding and what properties are not, said Dale Tech, the city engineer. . . Continue Reading

Protect your home with wet basement solutions.

The city of Lawrence is preparing to sue the construction company that built one of its schools.  The Guilmette School was closed for most of the 2010-2011 school year due to mold.  The mold was caused by improperly insulated air conditioning pipes.  The mold infestation covered a large part of the school and cost the city about $7 million up to this point and repairs are not complete.

The mold infestation that shut the Guilmette School for most of the 2010-11 school year was caused by moisture collecting on frigid air conditioning pipes that were improperly insulated against the summer heat, a lawyer hired to recover the cost of the cleanup told city councilors last night.

The report on the cause of the infestation came as city Budget Director Mark Ianello told the councilors that as much as $3 million more may be needed to pay for rebuilding the interior of the elementary and middle school following the interior demolition needed to get at the mold.

Already, the city and school district have spent or dedicated $4 million to rip out and replace blackened wallboard, insulation and ceiling tiles, to scrub down desks and other furnishings and to relocate the school’s 1,100 students and staff during the six-month cleanup. Much of the reconstruction included temporary patches that allowed the school to reopen in April 2011, so the next round of repairs will include ripping out the quick fixes so that permanent fixes can be installed. . .  Continue Reading

Students are getting into the fight against radon by designing awareness posters and handling out coupons for test kits.  Half of all homes in the Panhandle have elevated levels of radon gas so it is important to have homes tested and mitigated.   Radon is a radioactive gas that comes naturally from the soil and can seep into your home causing dangerous indoor air pollution.

Complaining about Tax Avoidance Rarely Leads To Tax Evasion

Phil Mickelson made news when following a golf tournament he griped about the amount of taxes he paid.  Most people will do all possible to avoid paying taxes but crossing the line into illegal tax evasion is rare.  The difference between the two is sometimes blurred.

For some other people, the line between legal and illegal tax strategies gets blurred. Or they disregard it.

Marie Estelle Curran, a widow in Palm Beach, Fla., has found herself crossing the line of legality. She inherited a Swiss bank account from her husband worth $43 million at its peak. She did not disclose this to the Internal Revenue Service for nine years — her husband had not informed the I.R.S. either. That was bad; worse was that she had moved the money from one bank to another, even seeming to set up a shell company in Panama.

Those actions told the I.R.S. that she was aware of the account. She is set to be sentenced next month and could face six years in prison, at age 79, having already paid half of the balance of the account and back taxes to the I.R.S.

“We all tailor our notion of fairness to our self-interest,” said Meir Statman, a professor of finance at Santa Clara University in California and the author of “What Investors Really Want,” which has a chapter on great tax cheats. “People will tell themselves that I evade taxes because the government wastes it or there are people who evade even more taxes than me. People get themselves into tricky tax situations because of their anger at what they perceive as unfairness.”  Continue reading…

Workers compensation benefits in California are being debated for professional athletes.   A new law is being proposed that would ban professional players for teams based outside of California from filing workers compensation claims for job-related injuries in the state. The law is meant to prevent professional athletes from taken advantage of the California workers compensation benefits paid for by all employers when they have played relatively few games in the state.

Players for professional sports teams based outside of California would be barred from filing compensation claims for job-related injuries under proposed legislation supported by owners of football, baseball, basketball, hockey and soccer franchises.

A bill unveiled Monday by Assembly Insurance Committee Chairman Henry Perea (D-Fresno) would ban retired athletes from seeking workers’ compensation benefits from California courts after they’ve played relatively few games in California stadiums and arenas during their careers.

The proposal, AB 1309, is expected to be one of the most hotly debated issues of the legislative session, with team owners lining up against the players’ unions and their labor allies. . .  Continue Reading
