Case Reversed In Client Favor Thanks To Aero & Marine Tax Professionals

Aero And Marine Tax Professionals Secure Tax Exemption Despite Unfavorable Initial Ruling

SACRAMENTO, CA: In a surprising turn of events, Aero & Marine Tax Professionals (http://www.aeromarinetaxpros.com/) represented a client in a case originally ruled by the California Board of Equalization as requiring the payment of an airplane tax of over $100,000, but Aero & Marine Tax Professionals was able to get the ruling overturned. The medi-flight client company qualified for the full exemption in the amended ruling.

An executive stated “We were working with the California Board of Equalization on an aircraft sale, and we were having difficulty. I told the owner to get ahold of Tom Alston. So he finally got in touch with Aero & Marine Tax Professionals, and they started directing traffic. We were a stranger in a strange land, and when you're in that position, it's a good thing to know someone that can do a much better job of things than you can.

“On this aircraft transaction, we didn't come to Aero & Marine Tax Professionals until after the fact. At that point in time, there was an assessment of over $100,000. Then we had to get them involved to un-ring a bell that had already been rung and the train had left the station. Even in that circumstance Aero & Marine Tax Professionals got it turned around. To me, that is meaningful. To resurrect something out of that is very, very unusual. I would definitely recommend them to others, and in fact I just did with a friend of mine.”

Tom Alston, CEO of the company, was also available for comment: “This was an unusual case. It is not every day we get a case that has actually been closed against the client. But I was pleased with how it went. We had to approach it differently but we still made it. We look forward to working with them again, as we have in the past.”

Aero & Marine Tax Professionals shows purchasers how to avoid sales tax, specifically how to avoid aircraft tax and vessel tax in California and to make certain the full value of their next aircraft, vehicle or vessel goes into their pocket--not the government's. They have successfully filed hundreds of tax returns with the California State Board of Equalization. Mr. Alston has also published many articles on sales and use tax.

Aero & Marine Tax Professionals Helps Real Estate Firm Get Sales Tax Exemption

International Real Estate Firm Gets Sales Tax Exemption On Purchase Of Cessna C-172S Airplane

SACRAMENTO, CA: Aero & Marine Tax Professionals (http://www.aeromarinetaxpros.com/) has obtained a sales tax exemption for an international real estate firm operating in California, on the purchase of a Cessna C-172S airplane.

An executive from the company commented on the need for the plane: “The airlines don't go to the places I need to go. For example, Laughlin, NV and Mulege, Mexico. I couldn't get there in a timely or efficient manner. In Mulege they actually have two airstrips, but both dirt fields. One is about a mile, or only a walk, to my place. The closest commercial field is, I guess, Loreto, which is about 80 or 90 miles to the south. And 80 miles on highway 1 is not like 80 miles on I-5. Figure about 5 hours, as you have to watch out for the cows and such.”

The executive commented on working with Aero & Marine Tax Professionals: “I had a lot of special issues. I never thought I could handle it myself and I had a lot of special things come up. Doing business in Mexico involves a lot of handshake and language gap. I needed a lot of extra help to make sure that everything was documented well enough for the tax board. I spent a lot of time on email and on the phone, but it was very rewarding. I couldn't throw a curve at Aero & Marine Tax Professionals, because they had handled everything before. They knew exactly how to handle it. I would recommend Aero & Marine Tax Professionals without hesitation! You can't do this yourself.”

5 Things Your Dermatologist Will Never Tell You About Proper Skin Care

For skin care advice there is no one that you should be able to trust more than a dermatologist. After completing four years of medical school and up to five years of residency, dermatologists are the medical experts on skin. Unfortunately there are a number of things that many dermatologist may not tell you simply because our society today relies heavily on the use of over-the-counter and prescription products to treat a wide array of skin care conditions. And with the hundreds of new lotions that come out onto the market, most Dermatologists don’t actually know the ingredients that go into them or the actual tests that were done to support the healing claims.

#1. Using the wrong lotion can cause dry skin.

Conventional lotions that contain heavy artificial moisturizers and dangerous synthetic chemicals do very little for your dry skin. These lotions coat the skin in a greasy film giving you the illusion of moisture while they are actually damaging the way your skin functions naturally. Your skin produces natural oils to keep it moisturized and the over use of artificial moisturizers interferes with this process. Artificial moisturizers can trick your skin into thinking that it has enough moisture, causing a signal for your skin to stop producing its own natural oils. Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion will not cause this to happen because it works with your skin and not against it. "Shielding lotions not only protect the skin's barrier but they restore the moisture to the skin and allow the skin to continue to moisturize itself, so that your skin does not become addicted on the moisturizer and ultimately cures dry skin," says Dr. Lisa Benest, a board certified dermatologist.

#2. Most prescription and over-the-counter skin care products contain toxic chemicals known to be a risk to your health.

The skin care industry is a booming billion-dollar industry for both cosmetic and pharmaceutical companies alike. These companies are often vying for the attention of your dermatologist, encouraging him or her to prescribe you their latest product over competitors with healthier natural products.

#3. The best way to heal dry skin is to strengthen your skin’s own natural barrier.

Your skin’s natural barrier is designed to keep the good stuff in and the bad stuff out. When your skin becomes damaged it isn’t able to keep itself properly moisturized and results in dry skin. To heal dry skin and protect healthy skin you must have a properly functioning skin barrier.

There is only one type of lotion designed to work with your skin and restore your skins barrier – a Shielding Lotion. Dr. Brain Zogg a board certified dermatologist describes how a shielding lotion works, "Shielding lotions are lotions that form a protective shield with the outer layer of skin and help keep out irritants and chemicals. They also allow the natural oils and moisture to remain in the skin so it can heal better. It is a big advantage that shielding lotions are light and go on without a greasy mess. Your skin needs help to keep out these moisture-robbing irritants. A fundamental difference between Shielding Lotions and traditional lotions are that Shielding Lotions enhance the skin's own natural protective abilities. Shielding Lotions turn the outer layer of your skin into what could be described as a hydrating invisible shield, making them many times more effective than mere protective lotions and moisturizing creams."

#4. Most skin conditions are cause by the overwhelming amount of chemicals your skin comes into contact with daily.

Shampoos, antibacterial soaps, cosmetics, fragrances, colorants and other irritants bombard and penetrate your skin. These harsh chemicals and irritants break down your skin's natural protective ability, and strip away moisture, while others lodge in the pores causing irritation and other negative reactions. Limiting your exposure to products that contain unnecessary chemicals can help you prevent against dry skin and other skin irritations. Dr. Peter Helton a board certified dermatologist explains how you can protect your skin by using a shielding lotion, "The concept of a shielding lotion is relatively new to dermatology and skin treatment. It binds to the skin such that the environment is not allowed to penetrate and desiccate the skin, essentially forming an invisible shield around and throughout the skin just like an invisible glove would. This is important as it allows the moisture to be maintained within the body and disallows, stops any products from harming the skin, like cleansers, acids, and all everyday solvents that we come into contact with."

#5. Eating a well balanced diet containing the right vitamins and nutrients can help a wide range of skin conditions including acne and eczema.

The health of your body and skin starts with what you put into your body. Eating a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables while avoiding overly processed and prepared foods can change dull tired looking complex into beautifully glowing skin.

Could this be the only Skin MD you need?
Avoid the costly fee of a visit to your dermatologist by living a heathier life, avoiding unecessary chemicals in your every day products, and by using natural skin care products. One natural skin care that really works is Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion. It is the lotion developed with the help of dermatologists who spent years looking for the perfect combination of natural botanicals and safe cosmetic ingredients to heal dry skin and protect healthy skin. The careful selection of ingredients is part of the reason lab testing shows that Skin MD Natural is far more superior at helping skin to retain its moisture than other conventional lotions and why thousands of real people have found reliefe from dry skin, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis and more.

Construction Company Issues Public Statement On Foundation Safety

Julian Construction Aiming To Raise Awareness Of Earthquake Readiness And Safety

LOS ANGELES, CA: Julian Construction, (http://www.julianconstruction.com/), a foundation construction and repair company in Southern California, recently released a statement regarding the retrofitting of homes and its effect on the safety of a home’s foundation in the event of an earthquake. The statement was issued by professional building inspector, Shawn Kyles, who has inspected over 15,000 structures in his career.

Mr. Kyles stated “Retrofitting is the modification of a structure by adding new components to make the building stronger. Statistics show time and again that during seismic activity, houses that have been retrofitted will have less damage than a home that hasn’t been reinforced. This was the case in the Long Beach earthquake of 1933, which resulted in the structural failure of brick buildings without reinforced masonry walls, including many school buildings in the area. Buildings with reinforced concrete had very little, if any, structural issues.”

Kyles recommends several methods of retrofitting a house, and suggests that a homeowner get an inspection from a foundation repair contractor to determine the best process in retrofitting one’s home.

The founder of the company, Julian De La Torre, stated “Retrofitting is very, very important. It is a preventive measure a homeowner can take to help them be prepared for an earthquake. Southern California is very prone to earthquakes. If you can be ready in case of any emergency like that then you can rest assured that your home is safe.”

Julian Construction owns its own company and is built on a “no middlemen” model – no salesmen, no subcontractors. When you work with Julian Construction you get the principals of the company and workers of Julian Construction under your home. The result is the highest quality work at affordable prices. They can be contacted by phone at 323 733-3377, by fax at 323 733-4477 or via their website, www.julianconstruction.com.

LOS ANGELES, CA: Julian Construction (http://www.julianconstruction.com/), a general construction and foundation repair specialist company located in Los Angeles, recently issued a statement on the importance of mold detection and handling in the home, as written by its principal executive and chief safety inspector, Shawn Kyles.

Kyles began with the ways it can be found in the home, stressing the importance of watching for this as it is a very common problem in homes. He goes on to detail how one gets rid of the initial manifestations of the mold found, as well as the necessity to find its source. Kyles provides some ways and means that a homeowner can search for the infestation solo. He also provides a step-by-step handling for the various mold manifestations that you may find, and the drainage difficulties that often accompany molds.

Finally, if all of the above fails to get rid of the problem he advises one contact a company specializing in mold treatment and which can get rid of the fundamental problem in a home: “Many homes have mold. It is the extent of the mold growth that is often the problem. A company that specializes in mold testing and remediation can answer your questions and will usually conduct a free inspection of your property. They can also give you good advice on how to eliminate any mold problems.”

The Scary Truth About Skin Care Products: What You Don’t Know

Beverly Hills, CA -

Many of us are quick to forget that the skin is the body’s largest external organ. And because your skin is on the outside of your body it is exposed to and constantly being attacked by toxins and chemical irritants. What you may not be aware of is that many skin care products even those claiming to be natural often contain harsh synthetic chemicals essentially unregulated by the FDA that could be damaging your skin at this very moment.

Unregulated FDA skin care products that damage your skin?

The average women absorbs up to five pounds of toxic chemicals from her skin care and other personal care products making it more important than ever to be aware of what you are putting on your skin. How much do you know about the ingredients contained in your favorite skin care products? If you aren’t familiar with the ingredients in your skin care products take the time to educate yourself about them. Chances are they contain fragrances, parabens, dyes, or other irritating chemicals that are very harmful to your skin.

The cost-saving cuts by big companies that hurt you - and damage your skin

Large skin care companies use a number of tactics to distract consumers from the most important aspect of their product - the ingredients list. These big skin care companies want you to buy their products without questioning what they contain and spend millions on advertising in order to get you to do just that. Many of the skin care products produced by major corporations contain money saving synthetic chemicals that damage and irritate your skin’s barrier. Your skin’s barrier is your skin’s natural defense against toxins and irritants. Its job of your outer skin layer is to keep the good stuff in and the bad stuff out. When your skin barrier becomes damaged dry skin and other skin problems can become a daily occurrence.

Shielding Lotions: The new discovery that will save and protect your skin

Finding relief from dry skin and other skin conditions can become a frustrating battle when the products you are using contain ingredients that are damaging your skin. Shielding lotions work to strengthen the your skin’s natural barrier so that your skin can heal itself and true relief can be found. Dr. Brain Zogg a board certified dermatologist, explains how shielding lotions differ from your conventional lotions: "Shielding lotions are lotions that form a protective shield with the outer layer of your skin and help keep out irritants and chemicals. They also allow the natural oils and moisture to remain in your skin so it can heal better. It is a big advantage that shielding lotions are light and go on without a greasy mess. Your skin needs help to keep out these moisture-robbing irritants. A fundamental difference between Shielding Lotions and traditional lotions are that shielding lotions enhance the skin's own natural protective abilities by turning the outer layer of skin into what could be described as a hydrating invisible shield making them many times more effective than mere protective lotions and moisturizing creams."

Los Angeles Dance School To Host Intensives For Experienced And Youth Dancers

LOS ANGELES, CA: California DanceArts, (http://www.caldancearts.com) will be holding auditions for its Los Angeles International Ballet Intensive and its Youth Ballet Intensive on April 14th for the 2012 Intensives. Auditions will be held at the main studio in La Canada, located in the midst of Los Angeles. The intensive will take place in July, running from the 9th to the 28th, and attending students will get the chance to literally go global, by taking advantage of opportunities to attend foreign dance programs through the Global Ballet Workshops. Limited attendance only.

The advanced curriculum of the Los Angeles International Ballet Intensive has brought it much acclaim, including from such organizations as the Ostrava Ballet in Prague. It has also garnered an international teaching faculty with instructors hailing from such companies as the Laine Theatre Arts in England, the New York City Ballet, the San Francisco Ballet and the Joffrey Ballet. The curriculum will include classical ballet, contemporary, pointe, special conditioning and placement classes and even aerial ballet, culminating in a performance by the students. In addition to the above international faculty, dancers will, of course, receive instruction from California DanceArts founder and artistic director, Ms. Erin Holt.

A Youth Ballet Intensive will be hosted as well in the Los Angeles studio of California DanceArts. Students at an intermediate level (the approximate age group is 9-12) will be able to hone their skills in such traditional fields as classical ballet, pointe preparation, and conditioning, but also in more varied themes such as modern, jazz, improve, and aerial. Unique in the program is a Choreography Workshop where young dancers can begin to learn to not follow choreography but create it themselves.

Ms. Holt stated: “As we draw closer to the beginning of our Intensives, we are very much looking forward to the opportunity to present dance in its most aesthetic form this summer. We believe that dancers need to stay in top condition the year round and nowhere is that more important than when young dancers are nearing a professional state. We hope to provide diverse new experiences to these dancers while bringing their skills in dance to entirely new levels.”

Since 1987, California DanceArts has been dedicated to the purpose of grooming and nurturing the talents of beginning to serious career dance students.

THE BIG LIE: What large skin care companies haven't told you.

THE BIG LIE: What large skin care companies haven't told you.

Beverly Hills, CA.: April 2012 If you are one of the countless consumers that has fallen prey to the marketing ploys of large skin care companies you are not alone. Each year top skin care brands spend millions of dollars on flashy ad campaigns and lining up big name celebrity endorsements to get you to buy their products. These ads are working, resulting in Americans spending billions of dollars on skin care products that promise to do everything from relieving dry skin to reversing the signs of aging - only to deliver minimal result!

Why your lotion isn’t working
To keep the cost of production low and increase profits many large skin care companies use toxic ingredients in their skin care products. Additionally, these companies use artificial moisturizers in their products that mask but never heal the signs of your dry skin. The result is that you buy more sub-standard lotion that never quite achieves your skin's needs, resulting in you buying more of their lotion in hopes that their promises will eventually work.

Dr. Brian Zogg, a board-certified dermatologist in Southern Minnesota further explains how this works and what type of product you should use instead. "The artificial moisturizers in conventional creams and lotions can send a signal to the moisture producing parts of your skin that enough moisture is present. Your skin then makes less of the natural moisture needed for an effective dry skin treatment. A shielding lotion protects your skin against chemicals and uses your natural oils and moisture to heal the damage."

How to heal your dry skin
Dry skin is caused by a damaged skin barrier that is no longer functioning properly. You skin's barrier is designed to keep the good stuff in and the bad stuff out. When that barrier stops working, your skin is robbed of its own natural oils that keep your skin moisturized, leaving it dry and cracked. To heal your dry skin you need to restore the your skin's barrier and shield it from harsh chemicals. A shielding lotion is a new revolution in skin care designed to specifically strengthen the skin's natural barrier, healing dry skin and protecting healthy skin.

Dr Lisa Benest, a board certified dermatologist in Southern California explains why shielding lotions are superior to artificial moisturizers "A shielding lotion is a lotion that provides a natural barrier on top of the skin to protect it from outside chemicals and irritants. In addition it also acts to keep the moisture and the oils in the skin, so that the skin can heal itself. Shielding lotions not only protect the skin's barrier but they restore the moisture to the skin and allow the skin to continue to moisturize itself, so that your skin does not become addicted on the moisturizer and ultimately cures the dry skin."

The one lotion you will need to buy less of over time
21st Century Formulations tested countless formulations and spent years developing Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion to ensure it would deliver on its promise to heal dry skin and protect healthy skin. Skin MD Natural uses a special blend of six vitamins and herbs that naturally strengthen your skins barrier restoring its function. Because Skin MD Natural restores the skin barrier your skin is able to heal itself. The result is that your skin will require and less lotion over time and not more.

Big Trees Inc Offering Free Estimates And On-Site Consultations

Tree Transplant Specialist and Supplier Announcing Its Free Estimate Program

SEATTLE, WA: Big Trees Inc. (http://bigtreesupply.com/), a professional tree transplant and nursery specialist company servicing the Seattle area, is announcing the Free Estimate service to homeowners for evaluation by one of the company’s tree transplant experts.

The company will obtain a homeowner’s vital data concerning the tree, including the types of trees to be worked with, size of the trees, quantity and the placement (such as a simple site plan which includes dimensions, site orientation and property lines). Site pictures assist in a rapid estimate.

The company does not provide free estimates for insurance cases or wrongful cuts; these can still be given an estimate but a separate program is used for this that does include fees for the service.

Big Trees Inc. also provides consultation, usually on-site. This is not a free service, as the above. The company will send an expert out who can advise on the following, or any other matters that the homeowner may have questions on:

- Tree selection and placement
- Site design with the focus being trees
- Transplant practicability and success potential
- Tree identification
- Tree assessment and retention
- Site condition assessment
- Basic soil and drainage evaluation
- Site logistic planning for new tree installations or transplants

Ross Latham, owner of the company, stated “I believe it is important for homeowners to have an expert in the field to talk to about trees and their landscaping. Easily it could save someone hundreds, to thousands of dollars down the road if a proper estimate and evaluation is done. Having this data is vital, as nothing comes closer to home than one’s own front yard.”

Ross Latham is the owner of Big Trees Inc. (http://www.bigtreesupply.com), located in Snohomish, WA, in the Seattle area. The company is one of the largest tree nurseries in the Seattle area with over 120,000 trees available in over 300 varieties. They not only can deliver young trees but also mature trees in a wide range of sizes. Some types of trees available include spring flowering, deciduous, evergreen, and privacy trees. The company also does tree transplanting including up to large trees. Their blog can be seen at http://www.bigtreesupply.com/blog/

Big Trees Inc Receives Broad Public Approval And Praise

Customers Of the Tree Transplant Specialist Company Speak About Their Experience

SEATTLE, WA: Big Trees Inc., (http://bigtreesupply.com/) a tree transplant specialist and nursery company in the North-West US, has, by recent report, received a large number of positive and thankful letters from its customers expressing their appreciation for Big Trees’ landscaping services.

Only a portion of the letters are included here:

A couple in Everett stated: “We just got our trees delivered and planted. They look perfect and are in excellent health. We wanted to send a note of thanks. When we visited the nursery Nancy spent a lot of time helping us find the right trees and plants and patiently answered our many questions. Pablo and his crew were exceptional. They worked all afternoon with us, also very patiently, and moved the trees around numerous times until we were happy with their locations. He and his team were extremely polite and hardworking, we enjoyed meeting them and we appreciate the work they did. Thank you so much!”

A couple in Bothell stated: “Thank you very much for doing such a wonderful job of planting our trees! Your ideas of handling our problems were good. You are a great problem solver!”

A woman in Seattle stated: “Everything went VERY well, thank you! Your crew was friendly, professional, and very patient. Of course, I had them turn the trees this way and that way, and occasionally we had to adjust the hole that had been dug a bit, but they were excellent. Pablo was also helpful with answering questions that we had. The result is quite beautiful. I absolutely love the Kwanzan and the Stewartia. We put the Kwanzan a bit higher up in the yard than the level part (on a slight mound), and it’s in a commanding position in front of the house.”

And a couple in Seattle stated: “A BIG thank you to BIG Trees. It’s not often that we come across such nice people to work with. Jamie was so pleasant and patient in working with us over the phone and by email to select just the right trees for our project. The installers were great as well. They cheerfully moved them around the area in their containers until we had them exactly where we wanted them. Then they planted them beautifully, leaving the area clean and picked up. We thought this was going to be another huge, hectic project, but thanks to all of the folks at Big Trees it was effortless and rewarding!”

Ross Latham, founder of the company, stated “At Big Trees Inc. we aren’t satisfied until the customer is. And with our years of experience we are able to provide a high quality addition to a landscape that will last. Time and again we’ve helped people with their yards so that they are exactly as they’ve always wanted them. We’re very pleased that we’ve had such positive response, it’s always a very rewarding experience.”
