Could Going To A Concert Be A Tax Write-off?
I live in Cleveland, and I went to a concert in Pittsburgh last weekend. There, I talked up my new home business and products [it's an in-home direct sales company that operates like Pampered Chef or Mary Kay] and passed out a bunch of cards to prospective clients. My friend told me that I might be able to write off the cost and travel relating to the concert because I was promoting my business- is that true?
I do plan to meet with an accountant some time soon, but in the meantime I’m just trying to keep complete records…
If it changes anything, I also went to Ikea there and bought a bunch of stuff for my home, and a whopping $4 of that was related to my business. I wasn’t planning to declare such a small amount, but if I’m declaring part of the trip I should declare this too right? And even if I can’t declare the concert, can I still write off all those miles because I bought business supplies there, even such a small amount?
The Oil and Gas Scam

The U. S. Geological Service issued a report in April (’08) that only scientists and oil men knew was coming, but man was it big. It was a revised report (hadn’t been updated since ’95) on how much oil was in this area of the western 2/3 of North Dakota; western South Dakota; and extreme eastern Montana …. check THIS out:
The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska ‘s Prudhoe Bay, and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503 billion barrels. Even if just 10% of the oil is recoverable… at $107 a barrel, we’re looking at a resource base worth more than $5.3 trillion.
‘When I first briefed legislators on this, you could practically see their jaws hit the floor. They had no idea.’ says Terry Johnson, the Montana Legislature’s financial analyst.
‘This sizable find is now the highest-producing onshore oil field found in the past 56 years.’ reports, The Pittsburgh Post Gazette. It’s a formation known as the Williston Basin, but is more commonly referred to as the Bakken.’ And it stretches from Northern Montana, through North Dakota and into Canada. For years, U. S. oil exploration has been considered a dead end. Even the ‘Big Oil’ companies gave up searching for major oil wells decades ago. However, a recent technological breakthrough has opened up the Bakken’s massive reserves… and we now have access of up to 500 billion barrels. And because this is light, sweet oil, those billions of barrels will cost Americans just $16 PER BARREL!
That’s enough crude to fully fuel the American economy for 41 years straight.
2. And if THAT didn’t throw you on the floor, then this next one should because it’s from TWO YEARS AGO!
U. S. Oil Discovery- Largest Reserve in the World! Stansberry Report Online – 4/20/2006
Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the world is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction.
They reported this stunning news: We have more oil inside our borders, than all the other proven reserves on earth.
Here are the official estimates:
- 8-times as much oil as Saudi Arabia
- 18-times as much oil as Iraq
- 21-times as much oil as Kuwait
- 22-times as much oil as Iran
- 500-times as much oil as Yemen
- and it’s all right here in the Western United States .
HOW can this BE? HOW can we NOT BE extracting this? Because the environmentalists and others have blocked all efforts to help America become independent of foreign oil!
James Bartis, lead researcher with the study says we’ve got more oil in this very compact area than the entire Middle East -more than 2 TRILLION barrels untapped. That’s more than all the proven oil reserves of crude oil in the world today, reports The Denver Post.

Don’t think ‘OPEC’ will drop its price – even with this find? Think again! It’s all about the competitive marketplace, – it has to.

Got your attention/ire up yet? Hope so! Now, while you’re thinking about it … and hopefully P.O’d, do this:
3. Pass this along.. If you don’t take a little time to do this, then you should stifle yourself the next time you want to complain about gas prices .. because by doing NOTHING, you’ve forfeited your right to complain.

Now I just wonder what would happen in this country if every one of you sent this to every one in your address book.
Thanks

The rivalry gained new intensity when both franchises moved to California in 1958. The cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco have long been rival throughout the history of California.

On April 15, 1947 Jackie Robinson played his first major league game as a member of the Brooklyn Dodgers. He became the first African American to play for a Major League Baseball team.
“Wait ?til next year!” became an unofficial Dodger slogan as the annual ritual of excitement followed by disappointment became a common pattern to the long suffering fans. Their ?next year? finally came in 1955 when they defeated the New York Yankees to clinch their first ever franchise victory in World Series championship. That happens to be only series they won in Brooklyn as the team relocated to Los Angeles in 1957.
On September 24, 1957, the Brooklyn Dodgers played their very last game at Ebbets Field. The Dodgers won 2-0 over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Los Angeles Dodgers played their very first game in LA On April 18, 1958.
