Hi all I haven't been on here in a long time I been struggling going through test after test. I had a pet scan the beginning of April it came back no cancer. they explain to me that I still have cancer and am not cancer free. It is sitting in my blood and have not form the cells yet so it could happen at any time or go years. They found on the pet scan a problem with the thyroid so I go tommorrow to get a biopsy but they said it was the size of a lemon. They said what they find tommorrow they are still going to do suregery and remove it. They are going to see if it is cancer. They said if it is that there is alot of better treatment and stuff.
Everyone tells me that its not a big deal. Then 4 weeks ago my sister has breast cancer had her surgery and doing well.
I have tried to deal with all this but I have a hard time talking about it so now I am at the point of just giving up not caring whats the use i am not close with anyone to talk to I keep it all inside.
Life is just so hard sometimes hard to take it I just want to throw in the towel sometimes.

The drs. aren't sure if it is cancer. Have the surgery, and recover. It may not be cancer, just wait and find out what the drs. say.
You can come here to talk, get it out. Sometimes it's easier to talk with strangers than loved ones. We understand. I understand all to well the fear of what you are going thru.
I once thought of giving up when I went thru cancer treatments. I couldn't, I realized I didn't know how to give up. I have been a fighter all my life, so the will to survive, and be better is burned within me.
I'm sure if you think about it, you will feel the same. Stay strong Casey, don't give up, keep fighting.
May you be surrounded with peace, and love. May strength, and courage grow and emerge within you.
May 09, 2011 - 5:44 pm
I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner. You really do need to hang in there. I have been following you for awhile, and I know how brave you are. You have overcome so many bumps in your road. I wish I had some magic words to help, but I don't. Of course, any type of surgery is a big deal. You have a right to feel discouraged, but you will get through this. A tumor on your thyroid even if it isn't cancer can, I would think, affect your mood. I have thyroid problems and if my meds aren't right, I feel tired or jittery and have mood problems. Good luck on the surgery, and don't give up. We're all pulling for you. Fay

yeah, people will say its not a big deal, but if it's a big deal to you, thats all that matters ( and they prolly havent had to deal with the same thing). it looks like you have a very good start of talking about what is going on and you came to a great place. you are worth fighting and not giving up. i dont think i could handle it if 1) i didnt find people to talk to about what is really goin on inside and 2) i didnt have God. keep comin back. go into the chat room and chat. type what is going on with you. and take it easy. theres a whole lot of support out here for you.
May 10, 2011 - 2:38 pm
you are going through all this emotional upheaval, but please do not give up. We are all here for you to chat, rave and rant as much as you want. I am a caregiver to a stage IV BC mon, and recently had breast cancer scare myself. I was so thankful to all the folks on this site I was able to share my fears and worries. So if you need anything please do not hesitate to reach me.
May 14, 2011 - 9:41 pm
I cry a bit, have a pity party, and then go to sleep for a while. When I awake, I thank the Creator for giving me another day and then I move on. A few days later, I'm feeling pitiful again. I am on Cymbalta and without it, I would be much worse. If you are not on an anti-depressant, you may want to speak to your doc about putting you on one that could possibly help you to deal with this journey. It is a tough road, but I quit being afraid; I just don't like that I have, practically, a no-quality life. I have life though, and I must work on putting some quality back in my life, somehow...Keep the faith!

Last week's episode of The Walking Dead, "I Ain't a Judas," might have lacked the explosive awesomeness that we've become used to over the past few weeks, but it was a solid episode that slowly moved the characters into place for the coming war between the people of Woodbury and the guys at the prison. Check out my recap if you haven't done so already, which like the episode itself is a solid if not spectacular piece of work. For the rest of us, it's now time to put on our speculation hats (I really own one and it looks cool as f!%k) and take a look at what could go down next week in Episode 12, "Clear".
Carl is the man
He's probably the best shot out of everyone over at the prison, he held the group together when Rick had his meltdown and he wears a Sheriff's hat. He's also been trusted to come along on the gun run. Oh, and he shot his own mother in the face, which is pretty bad-ass. Carl is the leader-in-waiting and it's only a matter of time until he starts to become even more influential. The gun run is going to throw up all sorts of dangers and I think Carl is going to prove to his dad that he's not a kid anymore.
Milton stops being such a p**sy
Milton is a scientist who's struggling to adapt to the cruelty of this new world and is frankly a bit of a coward. I want to see him man up and get back in the lab and do experiments on the undead, because otherwise he doesn't really offer very much. Next episode, let's have him conduct some weird zombie experiments, like sewing a walkers head to a dog and making it chase its own tail, or seeing if the undead can get through one episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians without them trying to eat themselves.
Michonne fulfills her potential
Having won the trust of Rick, I want to see Michonne have a more kick-ass role in the group, starting with next week's gun run. Hopefully, they encounter lots of walkers so she can go to town on them with her trusty katana.
A fan favorite returns
Here's the big one. Back in December, series creator Robert Kirkman revealed to TV Line that next week's episode is one to watch out for, saying, "I think Episode 12 is going to be something special. All [eight episodes] are pretty great, but be on the lookout for that one." What could be so special about it? After doing some digging I found some on-set stills for the next episode that suggest Morgan, the dude that saved Rick in the very first episode of the show, was going to return. That would be so sweet if it comes true.
Next week I want to see Carl take control, Michonne to hack off limbs, Milton to do more science and Morgan to come back. That's not so much to ask for, is it?
What do you guys want to see go down on the next episode of The Walking Dead? Drop a comment below.

Here are two things to remember when casting your vote for Reno County Commissioner, District No. 2. One, fill in the oval for the write-in. Two, write on the�ballot (or type on the touch screen) �James Schlickau.�
Commissioner Schlickau would continue to represent District No. 2 with your write-in vote on Nov. 8. He is the perfect example of what a public servant means. He will always do what he thinks is right for Reno County residents. He genuinely cares about people, and it shows in his voting record.
Schlickau has the institutional knowledge and understanding of how governments work, which consistently proves valuable in his position on the Board of County Commissioners.
The citizens of Reno County deserve another four years so that he can continue to work on their behalf.
I proudly endorse Commissioner Schlickau for the Reno County Commission.

Welcome! Life In Charge is devoted to providing resources and guidance for taking charge of your life. Articles range from Health, Finances, and Productivity, to the Mindset required to make these changes. If you're ready to take charge of your life, we can help.
Who Started LifeInCharge.com?
Hello! My name is Jeffrey James and I'm the creator of LifeInCharge.com.
For many years I had been frustrated by the gap between where I wanted my life to be, and where it was. I could see all of the potential avenues to a life of freedom, one where I didn't feel like I was constantly running on a treadmill — working hard, but getting nowhere.
I'm not lazy, either — I would put in countless hours studying real estate, marketing, investing, and pursuing various side projects. I wanted to get to a place where I was in control of my greatest asset: my time.
Instead, I spent hours in a cubicle each day increasing my likelihood of getting carpal tunnel. I wanted a way to break the cycle of work, sleep, pay bills, repeat.
I spent time searching for that elusive magical overnight path to the life I had imagined, even though in the back of my mind I knew it didn't exist. And then I had a revelation.
It's the little things that count.
Okay, so it's not the most profound realization, but it's like when something that you've known for a long time finally clicks, and it's like getting smacked in the face with the obviousness and the significance of it all at once.
So, this made me take a different approach. Rather than spending my entire life trying to find a cosmic shortcut, I should be realistic and use the many shortcuts that I already know.
Now That's Common Sense.
Wouldn't you know it, that got me moving in the right direction, and I was able to start seeing results. I was able to become more productive, get on top of my finances, and find the time to maintain my health. All by following a few simple principles (along with a few clever tricks, too).
I felt more free than I had in a long time.
Now, I continue to come up with simple and manageable principles to help me stay in charge of my life. And I've created this blog as a place to document everything that I've learned.
- In the Health section, I'll share what has helped me to stay fit (I was able to run my first marathon in November 2012). I believe that good health is a big part of feeling free.
- In the Finances section, I will NOT show you how to "get rich quick". I don't believe this is really possible, aside from winning the lottery or inheriting a huge estate. And even then, if you don't know how to manage that money, you'll quickly find yourself right back where you started. I WILL share what has helped me to keep control of my monthly finances. I believe that you must have control of your finances before you will ever feel free. (And for those that are interested in gradually increasing their income, I will share a few of the best routes that I've come across in my research.)
- In the Productivity section, I will share proven tips and tricks that I use to stay on top of whatever life throws at me. I believe that you need to know how to get the most out of yourself if you want to feel free.
Remember, life is a marathon, not a sprint.
Take a look around the site — if you aren't sure where to start, read about the Life In Charge Mindset or browse through our featured posts. Please leave a comment and I promise to reply!
Taking Charge Together,
Jeffrey James

Qin Yi (秦怡) is a Chinese film and drama actress that was most popular in the 50's and 60's.
She was one of the four favorite actress of Zhou Enlai that said she was the "most beautiful woman in China". I shot Qin Yi's portrait in her Shanghai apartment last week for The New York Times. I am personally impressed about how charming she still is despite her grand age.

After Paris attacks last weekend claimed by ISIS, Western governments and its people should take some time for reflection after mourning.
KNOW YOURSELF: We should come back to recent history in the Midde East back to the 80's with Iran and Irak wars we triggered and the following ones. We should look at ourselves with as much distance and objectivity as possible.
KNOW YOUR ENEMY: We have to admit we know little (our leaders included) about Islam and we know little about ISIS theological motivations. We also know little about the important differences between Al-Qaeda and ISIS.

Asia | India – My visit to an Elephant Santuary
I recently made a visit to an elephant sanctuary, perhaps the only one of its kind in the world, here in Kerala. It is located in Trissur district near the famous Vishnu temple in 'Guruvayur' and it houses nearly 63 elephants. The elephants of Kerala are an integral part of the daily life here. They are loved, revered, groomed and given a prestigious place in the state's colorful culturespace. Unlike the elephants in the other parts of India and the rest of the world, here they are considered very beautiful and normally people buy these elephants looking at their 'lakshanam' (qualities to be considered as good elephant), for example a good elephant should have a long trunk which almost touches the ground, the ideal elephant should be very tall etc. The elephants are also referred to as the 'Sons of Sahya (western ghats). Some of them are brought up as working elephants to lift or move big loads and also bring trees which are cut down in the forests. Its reported that Kerala alone has a population numbering nearly 700. Just to underline the importance given to these noble and intelligent animals here in Kerala, one only has to look at the various festivals of the state. Practically all of them will have at least one richly caparisoned elephant for the function. They are normally decorated with gold plated caparisons, colourful umbrellas, alavattom, venchamaram, necklaces etc during these festivals. Many Hindu temples here in Kerala have their own elephants. Most of them are donated by devotees. The famous temple in Guruvayur has more than 40 domesticated elephants and in order to look after them the governing body of the temple have constructed this elephant sanctuary in 'Punnthur Kotta', 3 kms away from the temple itself. Here altogether nearly 63 elephants are housed. Most of them belong to the temple, and some to wealthy individuals including film stars, sportsmen and politicians. Some elephants are lethargic, some seem to be dancing to an inner tune and some others just relaxing in the safe haven of the sanctuary.
Without doubt it is a remarkable sight to see all these elephants together being looked after very well. People are coming in great numbers to the sanctuary from various parts of India and countries abroad to spend a few days elephant watching. There are artists who are here to draw portraits of these magnificent animals, photographers to capture every movements of them. Each elephants have 3 mahouts called' pappan' in malayalam (Kerala's language) to look after them. These animals are being looked after methodically in the sanctuary by these keepers – by bathing them, massaging them with small rocks or husk of coconuts and trimming their nails and polishing their tusks. These elephants at the sanctuary also systematically undergoes ayurvedic rejuvenation treatment by expert mahouts once every year and I was told that they (elephants) enjoy every second of it enormously. Without doubt any visitor to Kerala cannot afford to miss an opportunity like this to be in close proximity with one of the most intelligent and biggest mammals on land. The visiting time at the sanctuary is 8am – 5pm and the charge for visiting is just Rs 5 per adult.
I would like to conclude this report by paying tribute to the legendary 'Guruvayur Kesavan', the most famous and majestic elephant of Guruvayur temple who sadly passed away in the 1980's. His story is on the lips of every keralite and has attained folklore status. He was gifted by the King of Nilambur to Lord Krishna, the deity at Guruvayur temple and was well known for his devotion to the Lord and was considered the 'King of Elephants'. If any of you reading this report is interested to know more about these wonderful elephants and the sanctuary feel free to contact me at [email protected] I look forward to seeing you one day here at God's Own Country.

Yuen Method, Module 3, Video 3 (Standard Quality) [1 MP4]
English | Size: 300.38 MB (314,975,181 bytes )
There are eight training videos in module 3, the remaining five videos will be uploaded when possible. The video quality is standard and the running time is approximately 1-hour.
The last two modules addressed the mind and body aspects; the modules covered three of the five levels of influence, which were physical, mental, emotional, and psychological.
This module (3) addresses the spirit aspect, this includes the psychic and spiritual levels. The following two quotes by Dr. Yuen from an early Yuen Energetics course manual helps explain the two different levels: "The psychic level pertains to the extrasensory and extraordinary aspects of non-physical, non-mental perception, mental telepathy and their influences upon our well-being and life." "The spiritual level pertains to the non-physical realities of the universe in connection with our self."
All the Best and Good Luck,

DUBA-YURT, Russia {AP} Russian forces trying to wipe out rebels entrenched in the ruins of the Chechen capital Grozny intensely bombarded the smoke-enshrouded city on Wednesday.
The rebels, firing from trenches and the hulks of buildings, fought back against heavily armored troops encircling the city.
Meanwhile, a pro-Moscow Chechen militia of about 1,500 fighters has entered Grozny, said a spokeswoman for militia commander Bislan Gantamirov.
"Within seven days, Grozny will come under our control," the spokeswoman, Aizan Sultanova, was quoted as saying by the Interfa news agency.
She claimed that the militia entered the capital alongside federal troops, but Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin denied on Wednesday that there was any fighting inside the city.
Rebels battled Russian paratroopers trying to cut their supply routes south of the capital, in the rugged fogbound mountains bordering Georgia, and claimed to have inflicted heavy losses.
Despite the Russian forces surrounding Grozny, the rebels claim they have always been able to get supplies into the city. Russia's desire to cut those supply routes has prompted the military to send troops into the mountains, even though they are more vulnerable to the Chechens' guerrilla skills there than on flatter terrain.
Russia has taken control of most of Chechnya since sending in ground troops in September to wipe out Islamic militants blamed for bomb blasts across Russia that killed 300 people. But the rebels are strong in Grozny and the mountains both areas where they severely bloodied Russian forces in the 1994-96 separatist war.
Hoping to avoid a similar debacle, Russia has battered Grozny by warplane and artillery for weeks but has held back from storming the city.
The barrage was stepped up on Wednesday.
"Shells were exploding in practically the entire city" during the pre-dawn hours, said Mayor Lecha Dudayev.
Chechen commander Adam Baibulatov said Wednesday that about 1,000 Russian paratroopers had landed three miles from the southern border with Georgia a week ago and were surrounded by rebel forces, taking heavy losses.
"Chechen fighters have established a tight noose" around the paratroopers, Baibulatov said in Duba-Yurt, 20 miles south of Grozny in the mountains' foothills.

Complaint Review: HughesNet
HughesNet Non Refund for Equipment Internet
I signed up for HughesNet internet service on 30 December 2011. I purchased the equipment for $299.98 with a voice guarantee that the equipment would be bought back for $200 at the end of the 24 month service agreement.
I call in March 2013 to inquire about Gen4 for faster internet download and upload. I asked if the refund would be available before the 24 month time frame. They stated that the refund was only for the first 30 day. Not true. To be fair they did give me a $200 rebate when I first purchased the equipment. I told the salesman that the math does not add up and he clearly stated that is right you get back $100 more. They entered the agreement and now not honoring it.
With new equipment for Gen 4 I am stuck with the old useless modem.

Hi there,
Described as the most addictive, gripping and entertaining drama to touch down from the States in years by Outside the Box and ...a cut above the rest by TV Guide, heres the latest update on Damages.
As we reach episode 7 of Damages, Frobisher is revealed as the plaintiff in the lawsuit against Ultima Resources National (URN) and the FBI start to focus their investigation on Uncle Pete. In this weeks podcast interview, we talk to Glenn Close and Rose Byrne who reveal what its like working on TV as opposed to film and Rose talks about how Ellen is dealing with her emotions.
Episode 7 catch up
Ellen is stunned to hear that Frobisher is the plaintiff against URN but Patty explains to Ellen that using him could help strengthen their case and shed light on Davids murder.
As Katie frets over the murder of rogue policeman Eliot Tolken, two men are arrested after being spotted paying off Uncle Pete to gain his cooperation. Uncle Petes criminal record and long association with Patty makes him the perfect focus for the FBIs investigation.
As Wes Krulik gives firearms training to Ellen, a mysterious visitor warns Frobisher against pursuing the case against URN and then tells Wes that he should turn his attention to Katie if he cant get the information he needs from Ellen. Finally, Uncle Pete agrees to give agents Harrison and Werner information which could incriminate Patty but in an act of loyalty, Uncle Pete commits suicide rather than reveal anything.
In next weeks episode
Will Uncle Pete survive his suicide attempt and will Frobisher back out of the case against URN?

Vaiko leads anti-Sri Lanka rally in Coimbatore
Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK) General Secretary V. Gopalswamy on Friday led a rally here to protest against the Sri Lankan Army's offensive on ethnic Tamils in that island-nation.
Gopalswamy popularly known as Vaiko said that if New Delhi continues to supply arms to Colombo then the integrity of the country would break.
"If these atrocities against Tamil people and their killings in Sri Lanka, and supply of arms by the Indian Government to Sri Lanka continues then the integrity of the country will break into pieces," Vaiko said.
MDMK workers also protested against the arrest of their senior colleague Nangil Sampath, who was arrested under the National Security Act (NSA), a few days ago.
Vaiko also asked the state government to arrest him and all Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) supporters under the NSA and convert the entire Tamil Nadu state into a prison.
"If anybody supports the LTTE then NSA will be invoked. Now I say that I will support the LTTE. You can arrest all of us under the NSA. Then all prisons will be full of cadres, and the entire Tamil Nadu will convert into a prison," he added.
India has been demanding protection for Sri Lanka's Tamils, who are closely linked to the 60 million Tamils in Tamil Nadu.

One Giant headache is gone now that Jeremy Shockey has been traded to the Big Easy. Plaxico Burress is trying to assure the Giants he won't become another one for the defending Super Bowl champions.
Burress, who has been campaigning for a new contract, told The Star-Ledger of Newark, N.J., that he will report to training camp on time when it begins Thursday.
"I'm going to be at camp. I'm going to get out and practice," Burress told The Star-Ledger. "I said that I may not have, but the smarter thing for me to do is to show up and show my teammates I'm ready to play football."
That doesn't, however, mean he'll be a happy camper.
"It shouldn't have gotten to this point. It just shows me as a person how important I really am to them," Burress told the newspaper. "This thing's a two-way street. It's not a one-way. It just opens your eyes a little bit to the people you're walking around with. You look them in the face and they smile at you."
Burress told the newspaper that he remains hopeful that a new deal can be agreed on. However, sources told the New York Daily News that the two sides remain far apart in negotiations.
Burress, who caught a game-winning 13-yard touchdown pass with 35 seconds remaining in the Super Bowl to give the Giants a 17-14 win over the previously unbeaten New England Patriots, has three years remaining on his six-year, $25 million deal. He will earn $3.25 million this year, $3.5 million in 2009 and $3.75 million in 2010.
But after big deals for Randy Moss, Terrell Owens and Javon Walker, Burress wants a raise.
However, one source told the Daily News that the Giants "have gone about as far as they're willing to go."
Agent Drew Rosenhaus also says his client will report to camp on time, however.
"I don't think that we've ever had discussions about him holding out," Rosenhaus told the Daily News. "That's not him. Plaxico will be at camp regardless of the status of the negotiations. We've been able to separate the negotiations from what Plax has to do for the team."
Burress missed five team meetings in last month's minicamp and, according to the Star-Ledger, was fined $42,000. Shockey, who was traded to the New Orleans Saints on Monday, also was fined $25,000 by the team for "conduct detrimental to the team," the newspaper reported.
According to the Star-Ledger, Shockey spent the entire minicamp inside Giants Stadium while his teammates were practicing outside. Coach Tom Coughlin told reporters that Shockey wasn't excused from practicing with the team. The newspaper reported that it's unclear whether Shockey was fined for sitting out the practices or for his reported screaming match with general manager Jerry Reese.

A 16-week laboratory incubation was conducted to determine the rate of net N mineralization in sewage-sludge-amended coal mine spoil, two topsoils, a 1:1 mixture of the spoil with each topsoil, and a quartz sand. Sewage sludge was added at rates of 0, 40, 80, and 120 Mg ha−1, which added 0, 1630, 3260, and 4890 kg N ha−1, respectively. The total amount of inorganic N that accumulated during the experiments increased significantly as the rate of sewage sludge addition increased in each of the materials and mixtures tested. However, the rate of sludge addition did not have a similar effect on the amount of NO3-N accumulated. The soil materials did affect the amount of NO3-N that accumulated in 16 weeks. Little or no NO3-N had accumulated in any of the sand treatment samples and only small amounts were produced in the spoil. Ammonium-N increased with increasing rates of sewage sludge in all materials and mixtures examined. The rate of ammonification was more stable after the 8-week sampling interval in most cases. Mineralization of organic N added with the sewage sludge varied between 10 to 34%. At all rates of sludge addition, more organic N was minerlized in stock piled topsoil than in the other materials. A nonlinear least squares regression equation for N mineralization as first-order kinetics slightly overestimates N mineralization in the 4- to 8-week interval and slightly underestimated N mineralized through 16 weeks.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

Anna Nicole Smith Dies Without a Will. What's a Will? What's a Trust?
What Happens to Anna Nicole's Baby Daughter?
Without a will and a trust Anna Nicole Smith leaves behind many unsettled legal issues including paternal rights to her baby daughter.
Watch the video on Anna Nicole Smith Dies Without a Will. What's a Will? What's a Trust?

If Anna Nicole died without a will she also died leaving behind many unsettled legal issues, the paternity issue and final custody of her daughter, the unsettled case against her late husband's estate J. Howard Marshall II (oil tycoon), and finally the country/state of court jurisdiction, Bahamas, Florida, Texas, or California.
What's a Will? Why was a Will important for Anna Nicole Smith?
Per Consumer Reports magazine, more than 2/3 of Americans die without a will. So what's a Will? Why is it important? And, how do you get one?
A will is your last written list of wishes effective after your death for the purpose of distributing your wealth and the conditions of which such distribution can occur. The most important part of the will is the designation of custody of minor children; (this issue alone, - the custody of Anna Nicole's daughter would have greatly simplified at least one important piece of the legal quagmire left behind for lawyers to have a field day and possibly eat/consume a good part of her estate).
Without a will, the courts will have to determine who gets what! And, if you have property in multiple states, each state will determine the results separately through a process knows as probate.
The probate process is when the state courts will inventory the deceased person's assets (the willed assets must be titled in the maker's name and belong solely to the maker, or have an interest); it will gather information about claims made against the estate, investigate all claims for their validity, pay off outstanding debts, make decisions as to who gets what based on state laws where the property is located.
What happens to assets with Co-Ownerships & Joint Tenants?
Property that's titled in "co-ownership or as joint tenants with right of survivorship" such as husband and wife, automatically goes to the co-owner's or spouse. Similarly property that's titled as "tenants by the entirety" immediately becomes the property of the other tenant. Property that's owned with someone else as "tenants in common" becomes a probate asset and is distributed according to the terms of the will.
Who may create a Will?
Any person over the age of 18 may draft his own will with or without an attorney. The creator of the will is required to clearly identify himself/herself as the maker of the will, must revoke all prior wills, must state that he/she is of sound mind, must identify each item of property or personal effects, and must clearly identify each person to receive such property. If there are minor children the creator must clearly identify the person or persons to take custody of the minor children, and the creator must identify who will become the executor of his/her will after the creator's death.
The will must be signed in front of a notary public, or in front of two "disinterested parties over the age of 18" (not family members). It's best that the will be notarized, signed in front of a notary public which the notary will append their notary stamp on the original signature.
The most common mistake is that a will is signed by family members, another common mistake is to disinherit a family member or close friend. It's best to mention the individual by name and to give them a small amount rather than to intentionally leave them out of the will. The excluded member may sue the estate, and therefore cause unpleasant and unwanted delays.
What happens after th Will Creator Dies?
After the date of death of the maker of the will, everything in his/her name will have to go to probate. No matter how well drafted, the will becomes the jurisdiction of the local state probate court where it becomes a "public document" whereby the will becomes available to all interested parties and creditors.
A will does not avoid the probate process. The court will determine the validity of the will instrument for such reasons as undue influence, or incapacity of the creator at the time the will was drafted, appoint an executor if one is not named, and the court will determine who is eligible to receive the property according to the state's intestacy laws in order of blood kinship to the creator of the will.
As mentioned before, no matter how well drafted, a will must go to probate where it becomes a public document for every interested party to view and review. The only method of avoiding the probate process is to have your possessions and valuable assets titled to a Trust.
- All Trusts, revocable or irrevocable, grantor or non grantor -avoid Probate.
- A will does NOT avoid Probate.
- A will does NOT avoid Estate Taxes.
- Only an "Irrevocable Trust" avoids Estate Taxes.
One the Date of Death, Two things happne:
- All assets in the decedent's name, belonging solely to the decedent, or where the decedent had an interest, go to probate to determine who gets what. This is the Probate Process.
- Once all assets are probated, all assets in the name of the decedent is appraised for it's "fair cash value" on the date of death, not when the assets were purchased, to determine if there's an estate tax up to 55%. The estate must pay the tax. The person receiving the asset receives the asset tax-free.
What's an Estate Tax?
Generally the estate tax is an advalorem (value) tax based on the "fair cash value" of the assets titled in the decedent's name or where the decedent had an interest. Property of whatever kind or character, whether real estate, personal property, or bank accounts, cash or near cash investments, interest either as a joint tenant with right to survivorship or a tenant by the entirety is subject to the estate tax.
There are exclusions, such as unlimited spousal deduction that which you leave to the spouse and some other exemptions reportable on form 706 United States (and Generation−Skipping Transfer) Tax Return. The form is extremely complex and is beyond the scope of this article. Please consult with a qualified professional.

- VICTORIA RENARD for The Stranger, 2002
The Blood Brothers broke up in 2007, but not before releasing a catalog of (mostly) incredible, boundary-pushing post-punk/hardcore albums. Members went on to play in Jaguar Love, Past Lives, Neon Blonde, Champagne Champagne, the Fleet Foxes and others.
I have e-mails out to some folks to find out if it's the same line-up and if there are other shows in the works (duh, I'm sure there are, it'd be weird and super lame if they reunited just to play an L.A. festival), but guitarist Cody Votolato appears to be in, as he Tweeted out the news this morning, too.

R. E. Olds Blend
Born in our hometown of Geneva, Ohio, R. E. Olds became a pioneer in the automobile industry during the early 1900s. If Henry Ford could launch a brand of cars bearing his name, why not Olds? Both the Oldsmobile and the REO brands are named after him. To honor this favorite son, our R. E. Olds Blend combines high-grown beans with distinctive character that offer up a host of flavors—from dried fruit and Baker's chocolate to cane sugar and fresh pepper. Expect a big-bodied cup that resonates with richness. Think of it as diesel fuel for the coffee lover.

Nugent takes Championship gong
By Phil Jackson
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The Football League's Players of the Month for January have been named.
David Nugent has been crowned Championship Player of the Month for January.
The highly-rated Preston North End striker held off the challenge of Derby County's Steve Howard, Plymouth Argyle's Barry Hayles and Sunderland's David Connolly to claim the league's first prize of 2007.
Bristol City frontman Enoch Showunmi meanwhile claimed the League One award, while Hartlepool United centre-back Michael Nelson took the League Two gong.
All three players have been in fine form so far this year, guiding their teams towards those all-important automatic promotion places.
Despite being the subject of intense speculation during the transfer window, England Under 21 international Nugent scored two valuable goals in four games for North End, against league leaders Derby and in the comeback against Stoke City at home.
Those strikes have taken him to 12 for the season now in the league and have put The Lilywhites in with a great chance of achieving promotion, from their current play-off spot.
League One's Showunmi has, meanwhile, helped launch his team up to fifth, largely thanks to his goals in the victories over promotion rivals Oldham Athletic and Tranmere Rovers.
The London-born striker has thrived since leaving Luton Town in the summer and is now an integral part of promotion hopes at Ashton Gate.
Finally, Hartlepool's Nelson whose central defensive strengths secured three wins from five in the league for January, with the team conceding just twice.
Danny Wilson's men remain unbeaten so far this year and their solidity at the back has been a major contributory factor as they seek a swift return to League One at the first time of asking.

Fashion Trends for 2013
- 03
- January
- 2013
I was looking at my wardrobe this morning and thinking, it's time for a clear out and to revise my clothes for 2013.
Now don't get me wrong I not a fashion geek, I just like to have new clothes to start my New Year and it's also good to pass my old (nearly new) clothes on to the charity shops so other's can get use of them.
And I must point out I do not follow any fashions, I just buy clothes that I feel good in, this can be how they hang on my body or how they feel(texture) on me.
Big Tip – Never buy without trying on first, and be careful when trying on in the dressing rooms because they are fitted out with special lightings that make you look good, so once you have the clothes on step out into the lounge area of the dressing rooms and see it under the florescent lights for a true image..(OK how many of you have tried something on in dressing room and thought wow that looks so good on me, then return home to find it does not look that good after all) now you know why.
For the latest Fashion Trends for 2013, you can visit my fashion website.

Matthew McConaughey's Counter Cultural SpeechMonday, March 3rd, 2014
Remember moments of Oscar night rebellion? Marlon Brando comes to mind. Someone on Twitter said they were happy that the Oscars were devoid of politics.
Actually, politics did enter the artistic arena–it's just that for the average God-believing American, it went unnoticed because it is part of their culture.
For the Academy, though, Matthew McConaughey's speech was profoundly counter cultural and "weird".
This is where we are in America: Thanking God, humbly and passionately, is viewed as strange, different, and even subversive.
America has been transformed, alright. You're a rebel if you're a sincere God believer and willing to say so.
Oscars: All About BoomersTuesday, February 28th, 2012
Who ever thought that the Boomers would kill the youth culture? They've managed to.
It's all old-aged melodrama now. Reality doesn't apply to Boomers. They will not get old.
Shhh…don't tell them, but they're old.
I don't necessarily mind that people are reassessing their activity level and what it means to be old.
Still, the self-indulgence of these folks is grating. Perpetual adolescence by an entire generation is lame.
P.S. Where was Jack Nicholson?
Also, why the Grammy's were better than the Oscars.

Inglourious Basterds: Part IIFriday, August 28th, 2009
For another perspective on this movie, I suggest reading John Rosenthal's review titled "Inglourious Basterds: A German Fantasy, Not a 'Jewish' One". Rosenthal posits that the movie is written to make the Germans look sympathetic, and the joke is on the buffoonish Americans–who are neither cultured nor competent and barbaric to boot. The movie glorifies German fantasies of vengeful Jews, when in reality, the Germans were the barbarians. One wouldn't know this watching the movie, according to this review.
While Rosenthal makes compelling arguments and may well be correct about Tarantino's motives, I would suggest that Tarantino was too smart by half, then. Consider the barroom scene. Repeatedly, the Americans and their fighters expressed frustration at being stuck in an underground bar because it is stupid strategically in a fight. They feared being double-crossed. Here is what Rosenthal says:
This is especially true of a long central scene that takes place in a basement bar in occupied France. The scene is entirely built around a German parlor game in which each participant is required to guess the identity of a real person or fictive character whose name has been written on a card and stuck to his or her forehead.
Well, that game is one I myself have played as an unwashed American. We called it Polish Poker growing up–a politically incorrect allusion to a source of a version of the game, I suspect. At any rate, it was the Brit who botched the hand signal and also the Brit who enjoyed his drink courageously before his death–stiff upper lip and all that. It was also the American, who, at the end of the bloodbath, out maneuvered the German soldier who mowed down anyone left alive, including, it looked like, his own compatriots. It was a gory mess that ended as the American feared.
Another point of concern was portraying the German enlisted "hero" as regretful. Rosenthal says:
"They include not only the jovial enlisted men in the barroom scene, but also, for instance, a celebrated and lovelorn sharpshooter who openly regrets his military exploits." While he did seem a little sickened by his actions, he was certainly still portrayed as evil. In the very next scene, when his advances are rebuffed by Shoshanna, he threatens rape or worse saying "no one denies me" and then, after being shot by her, shoots her in cold blood when she shows concern for him. It is the Jew, as symbolized by Shoshanna, who hasn't lost her humanity. The German is portrayed as having none. While this might validate the modern Germans' thinly disguised anti-semitism by seeing her shot dead, it certainly doesn't portray the German perspective in a positive light. To the contrary, the Germans are portrayed as vicious, anti-semitic, heartless, yes cunning, killers of women and children–from the first scene until the climactic end.
There is no question Tarantino indulged in a facile portrayal of Americans. Bumbling in, direct action, hicky accents, etc. But still, the Americans and the good guys won. For all the German ostensible heroics, they are still portrayed as losers. They are losers who go up in a ball of flames. They are losers who are branded as losers on their swastika carved forehead.
The suicide bomber reference was also not lost on me. Tarantino, as I wrote in my other review, is hardly courageous. In fact, like his comrades, he's a product of Hollywood's amorality. He won't name current tyrants. He has to go back to World War II to find blood thirsty villains. That is why I suggested substituting an Islamofascist for every Nazi killed.
As to the bloody gore: No, I didn't enjoy seeing a guy's head bashed in. In fact, I covered my eyes at the over-the-top gruesome parts and there were many. It was a Tarantino film after all. The blood lust is a caricature and silly. Still, it was satisfying to see the bad guys come to such an ignoble end. It would have been a wonderful thing had World War II ended in such a glorious way. Unfortunately, Hitler got the satisfaction of controlling his own death. At least, historians can fantasize about a better end.
Did Tarantino make an anti-semitic film? Was he trying to portray Germans sympathetically? Perhaps. Americans aren't stupid. They'll catch the way Americans are portrayed. They'll see the suicide bomber reference for the inversion it is. They might miss the underlying German fears of Jew revenge. Or, if they get it, they understand the Jews motive, even as most Jews have lived among their German brethren peacefully without recompense. It is, after all, a fantasy.
What sane, moral person can't understand the desire to avenge their family, culture and people nearly being blotted out? Americans get it generally. And so do Germans. The Germans know how they'd feel if the roles were reversed and that's why they're afraid even after all these years. And the Jews have been models of restraint and forgiveness. I'm not sure I could do the same.

Bastards Basterds–UPDATED
Inglourious Bastards might be Quentin Tarantino's best movie so far. As expected, it's full of gruesome violence, gratuitous splattering blood, and revenge fantasies. For the subject, it's all to the good: Nazis die.
Tarantino has some messages for everyone though and they aren't politically correct. First the trailer. Here are some of the lessons from the movie:
1. Enhanced Interrogation works: The reason William Wallace from Braveheart fame was so remarkable was because he didn't break. Nearly everyone, eventually breaks. When one gets a bad guy to spill the beans, good guys get saved. It ain't pretty. But sleep deprivation, psychological discomfort, and in Tarantino's case, a public head bashing are very effective means of extracting information.
2. There are bad guys. Now, in this politically correct world, only the Nazis may be used as bad guys. Don't mention the barbary of Native Americans or current slave traders, or Hugo Chavez. Hell, don't mention the barbaric acts of actual barbarians–the Barbary pirates. These days, the only acceptable bad guy is of German extraction. Anyone who is labeled "bad" is labeled Hitlerian. For fun though, when you go see the movie, just put an Islamist in the place of the Nazi. Every time. Just imagine a freedom hating terrorist biting it hard. It's profoundly satisfying. If Tarantino were really that edgy, he'd have chosen a more relevant bad guy, but in these times, naming evil is passé.
The movie wins points artistically. The dialogue amusing. Among the blood, guts and nonsense, the story pushes forward with anxiety-producing anticipation.
What made me love the movie most, though, didn't occur on the screen. The packed theater that made my vengeance-loving heart glad.
So, Americans still hate villains. Americans still want evil doers to pay. After years of mushy, morally ambivalent tripe like Crash, a movie comes out that's pure good and evil. Well, not so pure. Because war isn't pure. It's messy, bad things happen, good people die and sometimes the best soldiers are just this side of normal. Righteous vengeance though, is satisfying. People want evil, innocent-killing psychos to pay–preferably with their lives.
Primal? Uncivilized? It's pretty to think so. More like, normal people recognize that tolerating evil encourages evil. You know, like the Iranians who repeatedly raped a young boy who defied the Iranian leadership during the protests. That evil.
So, while I'm still waiting for Quentin Tarantino to show some real courage and portray the monstrosity that is Islamofascism–the psychotic Muslim element who carry around Mein Kempf for moral encouragement–I'll take what I can get. And right now, a movie where the bad guys get incinerated is profoundly satisfying.
It's nice to see the good guys win. It's nice to see the bad guys suffer and die. I'm hoping that Inglourious Bastards starts a trend. Now, to choose a more timely enemy.
P.S. Brad Pitt is hot. And the way he says "Nazis" makes me smile. I'm saying it that way from now on. Nat-zees.
P.P.S. This is why I feel no shame about vengeance fantasies. There is no death painful enough to balance the inhumanity of what some evil bastards will do in the name of their despicable cause.
The moral equivalence crowd can shove their sanctimony up their collective ass. There are people right now who loved seeing Americans die in the World Trade Center. They relished it and still do. The Lockerbie bomber, Al Qaeda, the Taliban all glory in their death cult. No reasoning, no gentleness will change their black souls. Just as Nazis felt justified in their abject cruelty, so do the Islamofascists who carry out their modern mission of freedom killing violence.
The only solution? Kill the killers.
After reading Rachel's post, I'm going to screw up my courage and go visit the site of the Twin Towers. Even though just typing this post makes me angry enough to cry at the injustice, I will see it. And when I go to Germany, I'll do that heinous visit, too.
There is a reason America continues to fight this pesky foe. It's us or them. Let it be them.
Actual, real live Inglourious Basterds courtesy Winston Churchill. I love him even more:
Some were in the Brigade – a unit set up by Prime Minister Winston Churchill in 1944, made up of more than 6,000 volunteers. He said: "It seems to me indeed appropriate that a special unit of the race which has suffered indescribable treatment from the Nazis should be represented in a distinct formation among the forces gathered for their final overthrow".
The following year, the Brigade was in the front line for the Allies' final push against the Nazi menace and worked with the rest of the British Army in the immediate aftermath of the war.
Official orders dictated that any Nazis captured should be interrogated, not executed. But the revenge squads within Brigade ranks had other ideas.
Go read the whole thing to get an idea of how the Nazi hunters exacted justice.
By the way, to the liberals out there: Was World War II a revenge fantasy? Because technically, the European theater wasn't "our" war. I mean Germans didn't attack us. And that war cost a lot of money. And hell, we still have troops stationed in Europe. I mean, it's like totally a waste, ya know?
I do not regret that America took the war to the terrorist murderers. A sense of moral outrage should determine foreign policy. Barack Obama's bland indifference to the people of Iran is telling. Should we go to war there? That can be disputed. But what cannot be disputed is that Iran is a totalitarian, fascist regime that wants to exterminate a whole race of people. IT IS EVIL. To not be affronted by their disgusting philosophy and actions is to show indifference to innocent, freedom-loving people.
The left resisted efforts to get involved in WWII. They didn't want to see the atrocities of Japan, Germany and Italy, especially, because it didn't fit their never ending selfish narrative.
Either freedom or tyranny is on the march. It is never static. And freedom must be bought or lost.
The U.S. declared war on Japan December 8, 1941 in direct response to being attacked. Revenge? The next day, Germany declared war on the U.S. FDR offered monetary support to the British, stepping away from neutrality before this. However, one could argue that going to Europe was taking the fight to the enemy. Perhaps America should have simply played defense. It was not as though Germans were storming Manhattan en masse.
Also, for the "brown people" straw man argument: By defending the Iranian people against their psycho tyrant, I'm suggesting defending "brown people". What did the war in Iraq become, if not a defense of brown people against Saddam Hussein and his sons and minions? What was the war against Iraq to begin with but a defense of the brown people in Kuwait?
Good grief. There's evil people of every color. That racism card, though, that trumps everything.
In praise of the Bear Jew:
An old friend just attended the wedding of Eli Lake's younger brother. I wrote my friend:
Do me a favor, really. Shake Eli's hand and say thanks to the "Bear Jew" from another Brooklyn Jew, me. He did it Brooklyn style, the way I grew up. Some may have f**ked with me, but none came away unhurt, and never did again.
My old friend sent me this email:
I read your email to Eli and his parents- they all loved it and
that led to the handshake pictured here.
Also, I wrote a follow-up review of Inglourious Basterds here.

…how stupid was Gwen Ifill's question? What is it with the Left's sick perseverating on McCain's decrepitude? Really, it's to stoke fear over Sarah Palin: only problem everyone likes her.
So here is one of those on-line polls that is not at all valid and clearly swamped by Kos kids (because they have no jobs and can goof around like this all day). So, if you're not too busy going to see An American Carol–you are going to see this, right?
You need to do both, really. It's what everyone is doing.

Moment #1: Let's Call It 'The Point of Contact'
He happened to be standing, on that particular day, near the entrance to the cafeteria, gazing absentmindedly at the line of students coming through the doors. Normally students needed to show their student ID to the person manning the register to prove they were valid, enrolled students. Very strict were the people at the register, normally. But today wasn't normal, really. It was the very last day the cafeteria would be open; most students had already left for home.
From his vantage point Brian had a clear view of any student coming through the doors. That spot wasn't a typical one for him. He usually wandered the cafeteria and kitchen area, checking this and that, answering questions, and making sure the entire operation flowed smoothly. He didn't stay long at that particular spot on that particular day either, just a very few moments. For the rest of that day, and for the rest of his life, he would never return to that spot.
Moment #2: Let's Call It 'The Bike Ride'
She was exhausted from moving. She was completely broke, didn't even have change in her purse. Her hair was a mess, she had no makeup on, and she was hungry, so very, very hungry.
She thought, If I can get into the cafeteria without having to pay, I can eat and then tuck some food for later inside the bib of my overalls. So she hopped on her bicycle and rode to campus, about three miles away. She prayed, first, that no one would she knew would see her looking like such a wreck and, then, most of all, that the cafeteria people wouldn't give her any trouble.
Kathy parked the bike outside the cafeteria doors and cautiously headed inside, head down, arms in pockets, like a convict on the run. She arrived just in time to notice the manager—Brian? Was that his name?—standing on the other side of the registers. Oh, great.
Moment #3: Let's Call It 'The Feeling'
The girl walked by him and headed toward the food stations. Brian turned to a colleague, who had just wandered next to him, and said, "See that girl? I'm going to ask her out."
"You?" his coworker asked. "You've never done anything like that, Brian. No, I don't think you'll do anything with that girl."
But there he went, making a beeline for the girl with the brown hair. Without knowing why but knowing absolutely that he must, Brian swept up behind the girl and tapped her shoulder.
Moment #4: Let's Call It 'Busted!'Oh, no, thought the girl. He's going to ask for my ID. Now what?
The girl turned and looked up at the manager, someone she had seen in the cafeteria many times. He said, "Hi. I'm Brian, and I was wondering if you would like to go out sometime."
Wait, what? He's asking me out? Hallelujah, I'm okay! I can eat!
"Uh, yeah, okay," the girl stammered. "I guess so."
"Great," said Brian, "what's your number?"
There were no cell phones in those days, so the girl grabbed a nearby napkin, wrote her number as fast as she could, and gave it to Brian. As Brian looked down at the napkin, the girl dashed away.
Moment #5: Let's Call It 'The Singer'As soon as she walked away, Brian's stomach dropped. He realized he hadn't asked her name. Now what?
He knew that if he couldn't discover the girl's name, he would never call her, ever. He just wouldn't. He would just rip up the napkin and toss it in the trash, and that would be that. No, he had to get her name. He turned to the nearest food counter and asked the girl behind it, "Trish, do you know that girl's name?"
As fate would have it, that particular girl on that particular day happened to be a voice major. Not a biology major. Not an English major. Not even a business major. No, Trish was a voice major, the same major as the girl.
"I think her name is Kathy," answered Trish. And it was.
Moment #6: Let's Call It 'The Call'A couple of days later Kathy was sitting in her new apartment, watching the telephone technician finish installing her phone line. Seconds after he told her, "Okay, you're all set," the phone rang while still in his hand.
Kathy figured it was the phone company testing the line, but then she heard the guy say, "Hello? Yes, it is. Yeah, sure. Ma'am, it's for you."
Are you kidding me? Kathy was dumbfounded. How could anyone be calling her? She hadn't given anyone her number ... oh, wait. Yes, she had given the new number to the guy in the cafeteria. Brian, was it?
Luckily for them, and us, all the stars aligned and these two wonderful people found each other.
Just in time.
P.S. Brian attended a college reunion a couple of years ago and happened to come upon that colleague who had told Brian that he wouldn't "do anything with that girl." The man asked Brian, "Whatever happened to her?"
"I married her," Brian said. "I married her."
