Here's the beginning of the first pastel I'm doing for my Charleston series. It helps to step back and take a good look. Wow! The chairs at the bar are way too small. Perspective is a constant battle for me! And while having every detail perfect is not my goal as an artist, I believe it can be a distraction if something is that far off. Gonna have to rework before moving on. One nice thing about pastel is I can take a wet paper towel at this stage and scrub out the chairs.

What You Should Know about Emergency Booth Supplies
Be prepared. There will always be unanticipated emergencies.
- Office/Promotional Items
- Tools/Maintenance Items
- Staff/Personal Items
You’ve gone through your checklist a dozen times over. Your staff has been thoroughly trained, your brochures and giveaways are neatly arrayed before you, and you are ready for show time! Yet no matter how prepared you are for your exhibit, there will always be unanticipated circumstances. Here are some items you should keep in your booth just in case. - Extra giveaway items -- In case demand is higher than anticipated
- Additional promotional literature and marketing materials
- Business cards and business card holders if you have counter space
- Felt-tip Sharpies -- At least a dozen since they tend to disappear
- Pens, pencils, and highlighters
- Stapler with extra staples/paper clips
- Notepads and post-it notes
- Calculators -- One per staffer
- Staffer schedule/ contact info/ list of back-up staff members
- Extra batteries if you use a wireless mouse or keyboard
- Tools/Maintenance Items
- Duct tape -- Just ask MacGyver … anything can be fixed with duct tape!
- Packaging tape – you’ll want one roll during dismantle
- Backup light bulbs
- Glass cleaner with rags and paper towels
- Clorox wipes
- Utility knife
- Tape measure
- Hammer/screwdriver (Phillips head and regular)
- Velcro -- It’s a trade show necessity for all kinds of graphic emergencies
- Staff/Personal Items
- Tissues
- Anti-bacterial hand gel -- You will be shaking a lot of hands
- First-aid kit: pain relievers, band-aids, disinfectant, cotton pads, burn cream
- Bottled water -- Not to be consumed in the booth and cheaper than buying water at the show
- Throat lozenges
- Breath mints -- To be consumed in the booth
- Hand lotion -- Use in moderation, think handshakes!

I previously blogged about inherited IRAs being subject to the claims of creditors, both in (In Re: Jarboe) and outside of (Robertson v. Deeb) bankruptcy, and one case (In Re: Nessa) where an inherited IRA was determined to be protected under federal law. Here's a summary of the latest ruling, which contradicts the Nessa holding, courtesy of Robert Keebler, CPA: In In Re: Chilton, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Texas found that an inherited IRA is not equivalent to an IRA for purposes of determining whether the account contains “retirement funds” that may be exempted from the bankruptcy estate under U.S.C. § 522(d)(12). The Court also found that an inherited IRA is not a traditional IRA exempt from taxation under IRC § 408(e)(1). In Re: Chilton, 105 AFTR 2d 2010-XXX, 03/05/2010; There is really no way to reconcile the holdings in Nessa and Chilton, but the Chilton decision is clearly the minority view. If you want to protect your IRA from your heirs creditors, it is vitally important to utilize a standalone IRA trust .
