Polygonatum /ˌpɒlɨˈɡɒnətəm/,[1] King Solomon's-seal or Solomon's Seal, is a genus of flowering plants. In the APG III classification system, it is placed in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Nolinoideae (formerly the family Ruscaceae).[2] It has also been classified in the former family Convallariaceae and, like many lilioid monocots, was formerly classified in the lily family, Liliaceae.
This genus is distributed throughout the temperate Northern Hemisphere. Most of the approximately 63 species occur in Asia, with 20 endemic to China.[3]
The genus name Polygonatum comes from the ancient Greek for "many knees", referring to the multiple jointed rhizome.[4] One explanation for the derivation of the common name "Solomon's seal" is that the roots bear depressions which resemble royal seals. Another is that the cut roots resemble Hebrew characters.[5]
Polygonatum should not be confused with Polygonum, a plant genus in a different family.
Several species are valued as ornamental plants, including:[6]
Many species have long been used as food in China. Leaves, stems, and rhizomes are used raw or cooked and served as a side dish with meat and rice. The rhizomes of two local species are eaten with chicken's or pig's feet during festivals. The rhizomes are used to make tea or soaked in wine or liquor to flavor the beverages. They are also fried with sugar and honey to make sweet snacks. The starchy rhizomes can be dried, ground, and added to flour to supplement food staples. The rhizome of P. sibiricum is pulped, boiled, strained, and thickened with barley flour to make a sweet liquid seasoning agent called tangxi. At times, people in China have relied on P. megaphyllum as a famine food.[3]
The shoots of some Polygonatum can be boiled and used like asparagus. P. cirrifolium and P. verticillatum are used as leafy vegetables in India. The American species P. biflorum has a starchy root that was eaten like the potato and used as flour for bread.[3]
P. sibirica is used for a tea called dungulle in Korea.[3]
Traditional medicine[edit]
The use of Polygonatum in the treatment of diabetes was first observed in 1930 by Hedwig Langecker. After experiments, she concluded that it was effective in fighting nutritional hyperglycemia, though not that caused by adrenaline release, probably due to its glucokinin content.[7]
P. verticillatum is used in Ayurveda as an aphrodisiac.[8] It is also used to treat pain, fever, inflammation, allergy, and weakness.[9]
An herbal remedy called rhizoma polygonati is a mix of Polygonatum species used in traditional Chinese medicine. It is supposed to strengthen various organs and enhance the qi.[3]
Selected species[edit]
As of June 2012[update], 63 species are accepted by the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families.[10]

I don't have the quote, but he said before the draft that we were basically gaging player values more than we were actively seeking trades. Obviously, the Toronto trade seemed to be a possible deal. However, I don't think we're actively trying to completely make over the roster. It sounds like the Bobcats were in conversation with teams to figure out what was out there. If something makes a lot of sense, you do it. However, I think now that the draft is over, we're not in for any wacky trades unless it involves a clear upgrade, like a starting PF/C. And even then, I don't think it's likely.
My guess is we get our guys into the rookie camp, get our banged up guys healthy, and see where we're at during training camp. If we can pick up a blue collar big in later July, we might do so. Otherwise, I think the organization wants to see what we really have before we start signing new talent that may or may not be needed.
Supreme Leader
Bobcats Sunshine Club
SOMEONE will pay for THIS!
we could always still get jamison if we wanted to I think, i'm pretty sure if the bobcats offered him anything he'd accept it. he's always said multiple times that he wants to be here
Into the crevasse!
"Climb down Lemon, Climb down"
well if he does sign anything, it probably wont be for too long either...cuz he also said that he wants to finish his career here...so if we do ever get him..hopefully we get him sooner than later, but at one point in his career i definitely see him in a bobcats uniform even if it is like a pj brown-celtics role in the future when we are a contender
i dont know, i havnt seen any other player as enthusiastic to want to play here as jamison has been. when we were expansion team, he wanted to be here...he said another time (forgot when) that he would love to be a bobcat again, and then later said that he wants to finish his career in charlotte, his hometown...

CORPUS CHRISTI - A freshly paved 2.5 mile stretch of FM 665 will remain closed for several days following some trouble with recently laid tar Thursday afternoon.
In addition, TxDOT has made the decision to close a total 10 mile stretch until it is all repaved. The intersections at FM and FM 666 will remain open to cross traffic.
Officials say Brannan Paving of Victoria was working on the road west of Driscoll on Wednesday morning before it rained heavily.
Drivers began calling 911 Thursday afternoon, saying heavy tar building up on their tires caused them to veer off the road.
At least two dozen vehicles, including tractor trailers, got stuck between FM 666 and FM 70.
A big rig was blocking the intersection at FM 665 and FM 70.
Photos from viewers show tires coated with more than an inch of asphalt mix.
TxDOT will have a contractor come out to determine if the cars stuck on the road can drive off, or should be towed.
Anyone whose car or truck was damaged can call Brannan Paving in Victoria at 1-800-626-7064.
FM 665 from Highway 77 to County Road 107 is expected to remain closed for several days until the repairs to the road are complete.

Here's the video. EDITED TO ADD (2/10): The video is a little over an hour long. You can download the .WMV version directly here. It will play in the cross-platform, GPL VLC media player, but you may need to upgrade to the most recent version (0.8.6). EDITED TO ADD (2/11): Someone put the video up on Google Video. Posted on February 9, 2007 at 1:07 PM • 19 Comments To receive these entries once a month by e-mail, sign up for the Crypto-Gram Newsletter. CommentsJoseph • February 9, 2007 1:55 PM Come on, Bruce. After all of your talk about the inadequacies and stupidity of DRM, and how you can't give people a video without giving them a video, you didn't include a direct download link so we don't have to watch it in a plugin? joe • February 9, 2007 2:44 PM erm.... WMV and RAM? judas_iscariote • February 9, 2007 3:05 PM Thanks for the video Bruce, however will be nicer and more consistent with the contents of this blog if the videos are provided in an open format, with direct links. otherwise it will look like "Do what I say, not what I do". Just a Guy • February 9, 2007 4:51 PM The WMV video plays OK in VLC, so it must be "open" enough for them to support it. (note to those unfamiliar with VLC, all codec implementations are 100% open source) Durable Alloy • February 9, 2007 11:54 PM @judas_iscariote: Windows Media actually *uses* an open format. It's called VC-1. Alex • February 10, 2007 4:04 AM Played perfectly on a Mac with VLC 0.86. The video is a little like re-reading 'Beyond Fear', still interesting though. Bruce Schneier • February 10, 2007 8:51 AM Regarding formats. I admit that I know very little about video. I thought these were open formats, and would be easy to play on random systems. If anyone wants to convert what I have to another format, I'd be happy to host it. But from all these random comments, I can't figure out if people have legitimate complaints, or if they're just complaining. And I don't see anyone telling me which format they would prefer. YouTube doesn't take videos this long. it just works • February 10, 2007 5:38 PM @Bruce Schneier, Video worked great for me. So far all problems people have raised have been solved, or never really been problems. I think including a direct-link to the file somewhere is a great idea, because it makes it easier to download. Thanks, and don't worry so much about this :). Theora • February 11, 2007 5:15 AM From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VC-1 I.e. it appears that this format/codec is patent encumbered. This is a problem with open source people. An unencumbered alternative is Ogg Theora: Providing both would make even more people happy. :-) Mark • February 11, 2007 5:00 PM Some kind soul has uploaded it to Google Video, which does allow longer videos to be uploaded. Stuart Young • February 11, 2007 8:41 PM Audio only would be nice, especially if the audio was a bit clearer than the audio in the video, which sounds rather poor. Bruce Schneier • February 11, 2007 8:55 PM "Audio only would be nice, especially if the audio was a bit clearer than the audio in the video, which sounds rather poor." I wish I had high-quality audio. LiveSound • February 12, 2007 8:29 AM Someone needs to take up a donation for ACLU New Jersey to upgrade their sound reinforcement system (and maybe a little extra for video). Even if you don't support their cause, no one should have to endure microphones like that. :-} Subscribe to comments on this entry Leave a comment

Texas is one big state but it's impossible to miss Bastrop–if you know the history of this great town, that is. You see, Bastrop is a bit of a legend in Texas. Back in 1804, the Spanish settlers who lived in the area built a fort called Puesta del Colorado to protect their interests on the Colorado River. Not long after, German and English settlers arrived, adding to the area's population and changing the balance of power forever. In the middle of the 1800s, the area was named Bastrop after a man by the name of Philip Hendrik Nering Bogel, the Baron of Bastrop. He arrived in Texas to escape charges of embezzlement in the Netherlands, where he was from, and was instrumental in establishing the town we know today as Bastrop. This is, as it turns out, a city founded by outlaws. Yee-haw! Today, things have settled down and the 5,000 people that make their homes here make their livings through honest means.

Is Bastrop a good place for families?
Based on safety and quality of education, Bastrop is not a very good place for families. With a crime index of 3 out of 100, Bastrop has a combined rate of violent and property crime that is very high compared to other places of similar population size.

Rated as better than 23.3 percent of school districts in Texas and 34.2 percent of school districts in the country, this district's public education system isn't the worst in the state, but it certainly could use some improvement.
Is Bastrop a good place for younger people?
With a population of about 8,500, Bastrop is a city in Bastrop County, Texas. As a small town, Bastrop isn't the best place young people, or at least those seeking other young people and any semblance of a nightlife, which it lacks in spades. This is because Bastrop is quiet and its population is sparse, including few college students, renters, and young children, all of whom tend to be noisy. Nearly 29 percent of Bastrop residents are between the ages of 35 and 54, 22 percent is over the age of 54, and 26 percent is under the age of 18. That leaves just 24 percent between the ages of 18 and 34.

The Shimano XTR M980 10 Speed Triple Front Derailleur – E Type is a key element in Shimano's shifting performance, and optimized for 42-32-24 10 speed triple chainsets. Featuring Dual Spike technology, top-swing linkage with an E-Type mounting plate and top pull or bottom pull cable routing.
For 2011 Shimano has split the XTR range into two very distinct but still complementary ranges labelled 'Trail' and 'Race'. The best part though is that the XTR trail is the yin to the XTR Race's yang, and together mountain biking's first family of components offers a broad matrix of fully interchangeable options to tube your ride. The Dyna-Sys system is a brand new way of creating mountain bike gears which evolved around the needs of real life riders and not just the need for more gears. The Dyna-Sys offers an additional ring on the cassette which allows for a much better gear ratio and emphasises the use of middle chainring on climbs, giving increased climbing efficiency and an improved power transfer created by the slacker chain tension.
- Material:
Aluminium outer plate
- Compatibility:
10 speed triple chainsets, maximum 42 tooth
- Cable Pull:
Dual pull
- Mount:
E-Type mounting plate
- Extra Features:
66 – 69 degree chain stay angle, 50mm chainline
- Weight:
142 grams

Wicker Park
Links of Interest
Distance to Downtown Chicago
3 miles
Average Drive Times
11 minutes to Chicago Loop
25 minutes to O'Hare Airport
22 minutes to Midway Airport
Wicker Park, tucked into the eastern corner of the larger community of West Town, is bounded by Division Street, Bloomingdale Avenue, Ashland and Western avenues. Many older business owners are retiring, making room for new businesses, such as restaurants, nicer upscale retail shops and entrepreneurial stores that sell handmade arts and crafts items.
The intersection of Damen, Milwaukee and North avenues is where the action is. Clubs and entertainment spots attract people from all over the city as well as those moving into and living in the neighborhood. Property owners in the commercial areas are rehabbing and constructing new buildings in turn-of-the-century style, much like the original architecture, to preserve the look and feel of that era.
As Wicker Park was previously a relatively cheap area to live in, it attracted artists, writers, craftsmen and artisans. Restaurants, small galleries and theaters followed. The arts are celebrated as the "Around the Coyote" art festival held each fall and at the annual theater festival.
Wicker Park is less than three miles northwest of the Loop. The CTA's O'Hare-Congress-Douglas Line rapid transit trains stop at Damen and North and Division and Ashland. CTA buses run on several streets including Milwaukee and North Avenues. O'Hare International Airport is about a 30-minute ride on a CTA train. The Kennedy Expressway (I90/94) is a few blocks away from the neighborhood.

I rather think he tried to shoot himself but survived. That would also explain the bullet case in his(?) house. Another sheet says he's selfharming/suicidal and that would also explain the weird date.

Pete, one of the otters at the Tennessee Aquarium, died a few days after being transported to a temporary training facility while a new exhibit is being built, according to spokesman Thom Benson.
In making the announcement, Benson also acknowledged that he knew of the death at the time he was telling the media that both Pete and a second otter, Delmar, had been moved to a private wildlife rehabilitation facility in South Carolina for acclimation and training with four additional otters that would be part of the new, larger Tennessee Aquarium exhibit.
Delmar and the four other otters have been moved to Chattanooga Arboretum and Nature Center so that they could be closer to home, Benson said. He said the aquarium delayed going public with the news in order to have a necropsy done on Pete and to decide how to care for the five remaining otters.
Benson said the necropsy tests were inconclusive and no cause of death has been determined.
"He got there and both were fine," Benson said in detailing the timeline of events.
"They got there and X-rays and tests were done. They were eating and vigorous, and within a couple of days he went downhill and died just a few days after arriving."
A week later, on Sept. 17, Benson told the Chattanooga Times Free Press that the otters had been moved and that the aquarium had begun work on the new exhibit.
The otters were moved to the Nature Center a week ago.
"After losing Pete, we stepped back to re-examine our interim plans," Jackson Andrews, director of husbandry and operations, said in a release from the Aquarium.
"It became apparent that we wouldn't be able to work from a remote location and still accomplish all of the husbandry goals necessary to open the new exhibit."
Benson apologized for not being forthcoming with the news of Pete's death, but said officials at the aquarium felt it was best to have a plan in place before going public with the news.
"This is the first time we've had something like this happen off site," Benson said. "We felt we needed time to get the test results and to get a plan in place. We wanted to get everything together, otherwise there would have been all kinds of other questions.
"It's heartbreaking, especially for those trainers and the people who transported Pete and Delmar."

Why exotic animal trade grows in Asia
Rising wealth lifts demand for exotic pets and delicacies in Asia. Meanwhile, enforcers are stretched thin.
Jakarta, Indonesia
On a traffic-snarled Jakarta roadside, a market trader thrusts out a forearm with a terrified looking primate clasping tightly to his skin.
Skip to next paragraphSubscribe Today to the Monitor
"You can have it for 300,000 rupiah [$30]," he says of the slow loris, a protected species whose sluggish movement makes it easy prey for poachers. The destruction of its habitat and its low reproduction rate are why the loris is classified as facing extinction under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, which bans their trade.
But here at the Jatinegara market, there is no attempt to conceal the sale of loris or many other endangered species. Orangutans, Sumatran tigers, and Javan eagles are just a few of the threatened species in Indonesia's animal markets.
It is a scenario that has been playing out across Southeast Asia for centuries, but with increased speed in the past decade, as a burgeoning class of wealthy Asians who cherish rare creatures as exotic pets, delicacies, or for supposed medicinal qualities fuel a booming and illegal trade.
The plunder – a small piece of the greater challenge of environmental conservation in Indonesia – is happening in conjunction with habitat depletion, and conservationists fear some species will soon disappear while new ones tumble onto the endangered list.
"Rare animals have become status symbols. They are trophies for people to demonstrate their wealth and the collateral damage of Asia's economic rise," says James Compton, senior director for Asia-Pacific at Traffic, a conservation group that monitors wildlife trade.
"We will see some local populations of endemic species disappear very quickly. Look at what happened to the tiger population over the past 100 years," he says.
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations Wildlife Enforcement Network predicts that between 13 and 42 percent of the region's animal and plant species will be wiped out this century, mostly due to logging and loss of habitat.
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that Indonesia loses 6.2 million acres of forest – equivalent to the size of Vermont – every year. By 2008, Indonesia had lost 72 percent of its ancient forests, and what remains is threatened by commercial logging, forest fires, and clearing for palm oil plantations, according to Greenpeace.

By Andrew Gans
Peters describes Desiree as "a woman who has been an actress her whole life and has gotten a little discouraged about it, mainly because . . . she misses being with her daughter, because the daughter's in the country with her mother. . . [Later Desiree] is in the country, and lo and behold, the biggest love of her life, her daughter's father, comes back into her life. So now she really wants to, perhaps, not act as much and be with her daughter and the man she loves more than any other man in the world, Fredrik. And so she goes about seeing how that can be. But Fredrik has a young wife that he's . . . fixated on, so Desiree has to be careful. She wants Fredrik, but she can't be too overt because she'll chase him away."
When asked what it is like for an actor to play the role of an actor, Peters laughs and says, "Well, you know, you know about a lot of it. You know about the road and about how tiring it can get. But you know about the good parts of it, and you know about the tiring parts of it and the things that can be disappointing. And sometimes you do just want to go home, so it's familiar."
Peters says she loves that Night Music has a happy ending. "You don't get that often," she says, "and sometimes people never find each other that should be together. So it's wonderful that it's there. It's very romantic, and the music is so beautiful. Every day, I have a different song in my head. I mean, it's just gorgeous, and the voices in the show, they are amazing. The cast [has] the most glorious voices."

TNA iMPACT Reader Review
Ah, TNA Wrestling. That's Total Non-stop Action rather than Tits 'N' Ass. They're a small fish in a small pond dominated by the huge WWE. In an effort to distinguish themselves they have tried to innovate away from WWE's standards, first thing you will notice is TNA's 6-sided ring, not sure how that's innovating but one thing for sure, TNA's in-ring input is a great deal better than WWE. Even if TNA's product seems like a poor man's WWE in terms of production and story telling. Everything seems so much cheaper, but it's improving and beginning to pay off. Bigger names are moving over, viewing figures are up, they're now actually making a profit and they're beginning to churn out the merchandise beyond t-shirts and DVDs with this game front and centre.
Let me get one thing straight about this review before I go any further. I'm a wrestling fan so I'm avoiding the normal "wrestlinglol" stereotypes that you see in reviews of wresting games. Yes it's full of muscular men grappling and fighting with one another, but then so is Gears Of War - the Top Gun of video games.
"This is awesome"?
The good news is TNA Impact also has something else in common with Gears of War, in that it is running on the Unreal Tournament 3 engine. Because of this Impact looks very nice, with well detailed wrestlers, appropriate visual effects (depth of field looks a little strange in such small environments) and decent textures. In fact one of the benefits of a wrestling game running on the UT3 engine over other games is that there's no texture pop in because you only fight in one area at a time. The presentation is perfectly fine too, with brief match introductions and wrestler themes playing over the menus. Although the sound is functional rather than being anything special. During the match there's nothing beyond the simple grunts, slap, hits and slams. From a technical perspective the in-match commentary is better than the WWE Smackdown series as the commentators actually call moves, pin falls and other events as they happen whereas in Smackdown the commentary tends to go on about nothing in particular. Shame I've never really liked TNA's commentary team, Don West and Mike Tenay quickly begin to grate and there's about as much variety in the commentary as there is in the Smackdown games - in other words not much.
And it's this lack of variety that permeate the entire game as it continues through to the gameplay and features. The gameplay itself is fast, responsive and exciting, but after promising a game crammed full of different moves it appears they have all been cut with most of the characters sharing the same moves apart from their finishers. But then each character only has one finisher, so most of them don't have any of their signature moves. For instance, ex-WWE madman Kurt Angle only does his Angle Slam, there's no sign of his ankle lock or his top rope suplexes. In fact where are the turnbuckle moves? There are only two, a flurry of six punches or bashing your opponent's head into the turnbuckles. That's it. There also appears to be no back grapples, so for the likes of back suplexes, sleeper holds or german suplexes are triggered from the front.
Also, they've tried to shake things up with submissions. When you go for the submission both players have to input a sequence of 3 buttons. Whomever inputs the buttons first wins, so the aggressor does damage (or causes his opponent to submit if limb damage is high enough) or the victim escapes. But again the lack of variety raises it's ugly head as every character has the same submission moves. So a headlock, an armbar and a leglock. Oh and a sleeper hold. If that wrestler has a signature submission move in real life, it's not in the game, so no Scorpion Deathlock for Sting, no ankle lock for Kurt Angle and no Kokina clutch for Samoa Joe. It just seems really strange as they do make a big deal of the new submission feature but then fail to provide any depth or variety.
There's lack of variety in the match types too, which is incredibly lacking compared to Smackdown. There really is only a handful - standard, standard tag, Falls count anywhere (and FCA tag), submission, a three-way free for all and Ultimate X. That's it. No ladder match, no cage match and no TNA specialities - King of the Mountain or Monster's Ball matches. For a company that's known for it's gimmick matches it's inexcusable. Tag matches are also boring and pointless due to the fact there are no double team moves, and tag teams do not even enter the ring together, and instead have separate entrances. On the plus side the Ultimate X match is actually the most fun with wrestlers fighting while hanging from the ropes above the ring.
To go along with the lack of match types there's also a bizarre lack of rules. There's no rope break or DQ in matches and no way to edit the rules and turn them back on. It gives the game a very arcade feel and I'm not sure if it's a good or a bad thing. The only weapon in the game is a steel chair, and the only thing you can do with that is swing it so it seems the lack of DQ is pretty pointless anything.
High Spots
One of the positive things about the game is the character roster with most of the TNA wrestlers present and correct. The only wrestlers obviously missing are Petey Williams and Curry Man but it has been confirmed they will be available as downloadable content "shortly". But once again there's a strange omission to the game as the Knockouts (TNA women's division) do not make an appearance at all. Again TNA is known for it's excellent women's division, so to be without even a few of the Knockouts is disappointing. Perhaps they too will be available as DLC, but I won't hold my breath.
Another plus point for the game is the story mode, they seem to have really tried to bring something more compelling than Smackdown's random story lines. Although the story is actually quite a bland "wrestler beaten and dumped in Mexico with amnesia must get revenge" it's made entertaining by some decent voice-over work by some of the TNA stars. Especially Eric Young who brings the laughs with some frankly bizarre lines ("You smell like bananas" being his very first line). However the voice of the main character, Suicide, is low, gritty and frankly rubbish mind you. Also the story mode sags in the middle as the lack of match types means you fight in roughly ten thousand tag matches in a row. Well, maybe not that many... But it feels like it sometimes.
"It's all over!"
To me TNA Impact actually feels like another famous Midway game - Mortal Kombat. It's more shallow than other games, but still a lot of fun for those that can deal with it's faults. The main thought I have about this game is that while the TV product is known for it's superior in-ring product making up for it's inferior production values and story lines, the wrestling game will be known for it's superior graphics and story and it's inferior game play.
So unless Midway take on board and improve on Impact's faults for the inevitable sequel then the WWE Smackdown Vs Raw games are still the games to buy for your wrestling kicks.

Nobody but you can tell you who you are, but the important thing is to Be Somebody—because, otherwise, you're nobody. Here to express this sentiment better than I ever could is Booth newcomer DK, with the final leak off his forthcoming street album. Backed by the Classick's head-noddable, sampled grooves, the Michigan-to-Chicago transplant and fellow Windy City repper ProbCause emphasize the importance of doing you, whatever that may entail. Digging this motivational jam? More awaits on DK's Shy State of Mind mixtape, set to hit the 'net in the very near future.

pretty good
i actually enjoyed that game and i don't game out on newgrounds that much, but it was nice, pretty layed back, not the biggest fan of the last stage but very clever
it reminds me of the yogurt commercial on TV...
and its okay to play
Good game, controls a little iffy
Nice game good graphics, good sound, fun concept. Not really to my taste in games though. Mouse controls could use a little fine tuning for when you mouse out of the box.
not bad
looked nice and was cool for a while, but it gets boring and frustrating too, especially on the lightning level. making your own logo was an interesting feature but not really useful unless you have multiplayer. i give you an A for originality because i've never seen a skydiving game before. keep it up :)

The Answer Spot addresses post-Hurricane Katrina questions. To submit a question, send it to firstname.lastname@example.com.
We have been approved for a Small Rental Property Program incentive loan through the state's Road Home program. Three employees in the rental Road Home program have assured us that the money received will not be considered taxable income. Can you verify this? Thank you.
The Road Home Small Rental Property program offers a number of unique options. Your individual facts and circumstances affect the tax treatment of your participation in this program.
The best way for you to get a specific ruling on your tax situation would be to participate in the IRS's Private Letter Ruling process. This process can give you specific, binding guidance on how to treat the tax consequences of your scenario.
The current procedures and fees for obtaining a letter ruling are published in Revenue Procedure 2009-1, which can be found in Internal Revenue Bulletin 2009-01, or on the Web at http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-irbs/irb09-01.pdf.
I read with interest the article in last week's Answer Spot regarding a possible tax break for new car buyers. However, the question I have is this: Is the income ceiling referred to "earned" income or "adjusted gross"?
The amount of the new car sales tax deduction is phased out for taxpayers whose modified adjusted gross income is between $125,000 and $135,000 for individual filers and between $250,000 and $260,000 for joint filers.
Single taxpayers whose modified adjusted gross income is less than $125,000 and married taxpayers whose modified adjusted gross income is less than $250,000 will receive the full deduction, assuming all other qualifications are met.

I can create it on the back end, but it does not show up, only anything set to everywhere shows up. Thanks for your help! June 14, 2012 at 3:47 pm #78436 nguyen51Participant Anyone? I'm using the most current Flashlight theme by the way. June 14, 2012 at 4:58 pm #78437 DevinModerator Hi nguyen51, I'm not sure what you mean. Are you creating a new sidebar with the themes "Sidebar" tab and then adding widgets to that newly created sidebar? Regards, Devin June 14, 2012 at 5:17 pm #78438 nguyen51Participant Devin, yes, I am creating the new sidebar for the page (custom page template) through theme's framework. It shows up fine in the admin area and accepts widgets, but does not display on the actual site. Sidebar widgets only appear on pages using the default page template. If I use my custom page template, then the only widgets that appear are the ones marked (Display Everywhere) and not the one for the specific page associated with the custom page template Does that sound confusing?.
