18 APPLE VALLEY SCOOP MAY 2012 • Listen to Scoop Radio on www.applevalleyscoop.com Catherine Reid Absolutely Fabulous Bed Bath & Home Towels Get the Skinny on BEDDING • BATH • TABLETOP • KITCHEN Soak up the SavingS a towel/Shower curtain Sale until May 19th. Bath towels are all basically made the same way; loops anchored to cloth ‘scoop’ up the water and dry your skin. So why do some towels dry you better than others It completely depends on the cotton quality. The most absorbent towelling is Egyptian, Turkish or Bamboo. The loops stand up and are soft to the touch. A towel of lower quality and absorbency will feel rough and the loops are flat. High quality cotton has long soft and strong fibres, so yes, it is more expensive but lasts so much longer than lower quality cotton with short, rough fibres. Typically, the dyes are more expensive too in better quality towels so the colours do not run. Darker colours require more dye so the fabric is a bit stiffer and less absorbent. NEVER use fabric softener on your towels! Yes, they smell lovely and there is no static but the softener coats all the fibres (to stop the static) and coated fibres don’t absorb water very easily. White vinegar acts like fabric softener and also helps remove the musty smell towels sometimes have if they aren’t dried completely (or you’ve found them on your son’s floor, again). Our “Soak up the Savings” event is on in May, a great time to buy new towels, See you soon!

The second form, called the Report of Foreign Bank & Financial Accounts (FBAR) or Form TD F 90-22.1, must be sent by June 30 to the Department of Treasury. It is important to note that the FBAR must be completed by U.S. persons who have signing authority for a foreign financial account, including a bank or trust account, if the aggregate of accounts is more than $10,000 at any point in the year. So if you are a U.S. citizen with a savings account and investments totalling more than $10,000 at any time in 2011, you need to file a FBAR by June 30. The FBAR is completely separate from the criminal, tax or regulatory investigations or proceedings. Disclosure is not optional and the fines associated with FBAR non-compliance are substantial. When the IRS talks about voluntary disclosure programs, those fines may be one of the biggest reasons people are complying: failing to file an FBAR can result in civil and criminal penalties, including fines up to $500,000 and a prison sentence of up to five years. Fortunately, hrblock.ca the | 800-HRBLOCK FBAR form is fairly straightforward when you know what accounts should be included. If you are behind on your U.S. tax paperwork, this may be something you choose to tackle yourself.
