Try Panama Real Estate Agents In Coronado Panama:
Corrin Skubin, originally from Flourtown, PA migrated to Panama in 2003 as a Peace Corps Volunteer, where she lived and worked in the Ngobe Indian Reservation for over 2 years. She has lived a colorful life here in Panama for the last 9 years, learning to speak both Spanish and Ngobe fluently, hiking throughout the country visiting communities in some of the most remote parts of the country and experiencing first- hand, the true traditions and culture of Panama life. After living and working in the province of Bocas del Toro for three years, she moved to El Valle de Anton to get a taste of mountain life and to start Dharma Valley Retreat Center. Yearning for warm weather, she returned to the coast, but this time chose the Pacific Coast of Panama where she now lives, works and enjoys all the benefits of living a beach life.
Corrin, a former property manager along the Pacific Coast area, decided to open her own company, Try Panama Real Estate. Efficient and driven, but friendly and dedicated seem to describe her best. She has lived in the Pacific Coast/Coronado area for the last 7 years and has gotten to know the area and its residents quite well. She is a passionate runner, vegetarian, and an animal lover. If you visit the Palmar Beach you will most likely run into her and her dog Booka running down the beach. Contact Corrin directly at firstname.lastname@example.com, #345-4375 Office, #6550-6302 Cell.
Beth McGuyton, native Texan, took a leap of faith and ventured to Panama in September 2013 with her spunky 10-year-old daughter. Having lived in Costa Rica as a young woman, she wanted to give her daughter the same valuable experience of learning a new language and experiencing another culture. Her initial plan was to return to the US after the school year was over and back to the sales world she temporarily left behind. She immediately fell in love with Panama and the Coronado community and decided to stay permanently. She could not be happier with her decision!
Beth enthusiastically joined the Try Panama team becoming a Panama real estate agent and brings along her "can do" attitude, sunny outlook, hard work ethic and outstanding communication skills. She attends to the individual needs of each of her clients and strives to assist in all areas of the relocation process. In her free time you can find her socializing, enjoying the outdoors, cooking or reading a book in her hammock. She would love to hear from you so feel free to contact her at email@example.com or 6233.9432.
Sarah Booth, originally from B.C. Canada followed her dream of living in Latin American in her early 30's upon selling her Property Management Company in Whistler, B.C. Her dream started in Puerto Vallarta Mexico, where she invested in rental properties, introduced her neighbors to her rental pool and ultimately facilitated purchases and sales through her world-wide networks.
Panama was buzzing and following an International Living conference in 2006 ,Panama City, Sarah realized the investment and lifestyle opportunities Panama offered and began investing in rental properties in Panama City and the beach area of Coronado. Sarah has had great success (and admittedly a "ton of fun, even after surviving 4 renovations") offering short term rentals and full hospitality services in Panama City and Coronado to her clients and guests. As an avid golfer and sun seeker, Coronado became the ideal location to settle; particularly due to the many amenities and social aspects of life in the community, as well as close proximity to Panama City.
Sarah invites you to contact her to find out WHY Panama is the BEST destination move in the world, from affordable living, to business opportunities and retiree incentives. As a world traveler, she can't say enough about the convenient access and hub that Panama offers for travel which is her biggest passion in her time off.
The move into Real estate consulting and sales has been an obvious step in rounding out Sarah's areas of expertise. Sarah's attention to detail, extensive research and tireless follow through along with her friendly and energetic disposition makes her a welcome addition to our team! Please feel free to contact her directly: email@example.com 6671-1444 or US 727-231-4877

Market movers: Doctor's orders
Michael Shinners with the latest Price Boosts, market movers and the trader's tip.
1:40 Forever Now 5/2 from 7/2 - Bidding to enhance John Gosden's excellent record in the race and he's been well backed to deliver.
2:10 Bellardo 7/2 from 6/1 - Impressive winner when odds-on first time out and he's open to considerable improvement.
2:40 Arab Spring Evens from 13/8 - Sir Michael Stoute's charge has been backed as if defeat is out of the question.
3:15 Mange All 7/2 from 6/1 - Makes his handicap debut back up in trip and the supports suggests connections think an initial mark of 86 is workable.
5:30 Doctor Parkes 5/1 from 8/1 - Has won off this mark in the past and the booking of Ryan Moore has caught the eye of many a punter.
3:40 Marmoon 7/4 from 5/2 - The Hills team love a winner on Town Moor and this gelded son of Dutch Art is being given another chance after letting down favourite-backers here in March.
4:15 Annawi 8/1 from 16/1 - Running well in defeat this season and the each-way backers have been out in force.
5:25 Roy's Legacy 4/1 from 8/1 - A wide-open sprint but there has been a lot of support for Shaun Harris's charge, who has a course victory on the CV.
4.35 Nottingham - Sunrise Star
6.10 Epsom Downs - Last Minute Lisa
9.00 Leopardstown - Fastnet Mist
Anjaal won at this meeting last year when flying from the back to claim the July Stakes over 6 furlongs. He looked to be in need of a step up in trip that day and went on to run respectably in the Dewhurst later in the year (over 7 furlongs). His two runs this year have been admittedly disappointing although his run in the Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot was not completely devoid of promise. He was shuffled back at a crucial stage and stayed on at one pace under hands and heels in the closing stages. Chancing that this step up to a mile may suit the Hannon colt, he may well out-run his 25/1 price in a race that has a nice each-way shape to it.

Thought the lead, Albein was sensational. Great voice and movement. Hamilton can't sing or dance and is a bit wooden. He played Billy Flynn in Chicago? The sets were on the cheap, but the cast was very good, and all in all an entertaining evening.

Bozeman House Rental Photos and Description
House, 2 Bedrooms + Queen Sleeper, 2.5 Baths, (Sleeps up to 7)
Whether you're coming to Bozeman on vacation for skiing, fly fishing, hiking, whitewater rafting, or heading to Yellowstone or the many other nearby attractions, you'll find a warm welcome at IdylWest Modern Guest House, our elegantly appointed 2 BR, 2.5 BA, 2,106 sf contemporary house. Lots of people have told us the photos just don't do justice to the house and its surroundings.
IdylWest Modern Guest House is located a short 10-minute walk from Main Street, the heart of downtown Bozeman, Montana. There's room for one vehicle in the carport and several on the street, just outside the front door.
In winter, step out of your bed onto warm wool rugs covering heated floors. In summer, have a relaxing drink and grill outside on your patio.
The spacious master bedroom upstairs has a King bed and a nook for reading or sitting. It boasts a claw foot tub and a stunning glass tile shower with a bench, a large closet with luggage rack, and a 32 inch flat screen, wall-mounted HDTV and stereo mobile phone dock. You'll be treated to stunning sunsets and sunrises from the master bedroom balcony right off the bedroom.
Your second bedroom features a Queen as well as a twin bed, a full bath with shower/tub, a large closet with luggage racks, and a stereo mobile phone dock. Both bedrooms feature premium linens, plenty of plush towels, thick, cozy comforters and extra blankets.
If you need to accommodate 7 persons, there's also a comfy Queen sofa bed in the living room right in front of a 47 inch flat screen HDTV and a Klipsch audio system complete with a mobile phone dock station.
WiFi is provided throughout the house, and 9-foot ceilings make for a spacious and airy feeling.
The charming gourmet kitchen features high-end, stainless steel large and small appliances, plenty of pots, pans, baking pans, utensils, and lots of extra dishes.
There's a food processor, blender, programmable coffeemaker and other small appliances for your top-shelf holiday.
There's also a generous supply of staples in the pantry, including non-perishables, herbs, spices, organic coffee, organic teas, organic sugar - much of what you'll need to get your Montana vacation started hassle-free.
And, with prior approval and a fee, we will warmly welcome your pets - up to 2 dogs or cats (declawed). There's a fully-fenced yard for your four-legged friends' safety and enjoyment, and Cooper Park, large and leash-free, is just 3 blocks away. At the far east end of Oak Street, just a 10 minutes' drive away, is the larger regional park, which has two large two ponds for your dogs' enjoyment, and is also leash free! There is a pet fee of $40/pet per week, or any part thereof.
Children are always welcome, and they'll love the games, books and DVDs especially for them. We also have a Graco Pack 'n Play crib for your convenience.
IdylWest is just 11 miles southeast of Yellowstone Bozeman International at Gallatin Field Airport. You will thoroughly enjoy fun-filled Bozeman (home of Montana State University and the Bobcats), with its boutiques, multiplex cinema, museums, symphony, rodeos, two farmer's markets, fairs, ballet, opera, professional as well as community live theater, unique cultural and arts center, art galleries, parks, bike trails and great casual and upscale restaurants. It also boasts the large shops and grocery stores you're used to shopping in.
In August every year, Bozeman goes all out for its Sweet Pea Festival. People come from all over to enjoy the artists' exhibits and booths, food kiosks, Shakespeare in the Park, live music and dance, sweet pea growing and poster competitions, hands-on crafts area, activities and entertainment for the children, and much more.
In winter, the annual community Christmas Stroll enchants everyone, complete with outdoor food booths, street as well as indoor entertainment and exhibits, and art fair. Children will delight at, and can accompany Santa on his sleigh, who lights the Christmas lights along Main Street. They can then join him for photos inside the historic Baxter Hotel on Main Street, to the accompaniment of the Bozeman Symphonic Choir's Christmas carols.
Bozeman is the home of Montana State University and the Bobcats, where an authentic Pow Wow takes place every spring, complete with a parade, rodeo and exhibitions. It also hosts the Bobcats' football, volleyball, basketball games, and many other cultural and educational events. Have a look at the AllBozeman website.
If fly fishing is on your agenda, cast for blue ribbon trout on the Madison, Gallatin or Yellowstone rivers, or you can book a white water rafting trip or just take some tubes (you can rent tubes or rafts nearby) and float lazily down them. And there's always a visit to the world-famous geyser, Old Faithful, in Yellowstone National Park,about an hour-and-a-half away.
For world-class nordic or cross-country skiing, you're just 30 minutes from Bridger Bowl and Bohart Ranch (cross-country), and about 75 minutes from Big Sky, Moonlight Basin and Lone Peak Mountain ski resorts.
There are over 50 well-groomed hiking trails around Bozeman, many within a short drive (we can provide directions to all of them, including an assessment of difficulty). There are also extensive biking trails throughout Bozeman for you to enjoy.
In the small town of Gallatin Gateway just 12 miles away, you can tour a well-preserved one-room school house - the Little Bear School House Museum - or eat at the famous Stacey's Steak House, where Ted Turner can sometimes be spotted having a beer and enjoying the live music on weekends. His own 'Ted's Grill' is also located on Main Street in downtown Bozeman.
Near Four Corners, about 7 miles away, you'll find the famous Bozeman Hot Springs, boasting 9 soaking pools, including an olympic-sized swimming pool, sauna, steam room, gym, spa and yoga, pilates and fitness classes. Also near Four Corners is a kart racing arena for the whole family to enjoy.
We are Charles Ervin and Graciela Marin, and we bought IdylWest in early summer of 2013. We had lived in Gallatin Gateway, a small town 13 miles southwest of Bozeman for the previous 9 years and had a successful vacation rental there.
We moved to Fort Collins, Colorado in April but Charles' line of work will have him transitioning a bit slower from Montana and since he is fanatical about skiing (3 great areas close by) it just made sense buy a house where we could stay during his sojourns back to ski. The next logical step was to make it a successful vacation rental again!
During your booking process you'll talk with Marissa who, together with Paul, takes good care of managing the home and bookings. These fine folks will be available to make sure your stay is everything you want it to be.
Book today! Given today's economy, IdylWest Modern Guest House is your money-saving alternative to a hotel.

About Marissa Brunetto
The Gallatin Valley captured us with its rugged, wild, landscape and majestic mountain views. You can truly experience why it's called Big Sky Country. Although we've left Montana, we bought IdylWest Modern Guest House in downtown Bozeman so we could have a place to stay when we visited and could also offer others a place to stay in this fabulous town.
Our excellent property managers, Paul House and Marissa Brunetto, will welcome you warmly, and we're sure you'll relish this spacious, quiet space to unwind and enjoy the surrounding mountains and scenery, as well as the excitement of being right in the heart of Bozeman.
Marissa Brunetto purchased this house in 2013
Why Marissa Brunetto chose Bozeman
We chose this unique, contemporary home because it's near all the exciting things to do in Bozeman, yet it sits quietly in a tree-lined neighborhood.
An added feature is the famous Bozeman Hot Springs and Spa, just seven miles away: a first-class spa with an olympic-size swimming pool, another outdoor heated pool, hot, warm and cold soaking pools, sauna and steam room and full gym. A wonderfully indulgent way to spend a Sunday morning, or to cap off your day outdoors. Open at 6 am most mornings and closed Fridays sunset until Sunday morning. http://www.bozemanhotsprings.co/hours-location/
Downtown Bozeman has great small shops, first-class restaurants, live theatre, movies, art galleries, concerts, jazz, local musicians, museums, MSU football and basketball games, opera, ballet, weekly Music on Main in the summer, monthly Arts Walks, and the exciting yearly Sweet Pea Arts Festival the first weekend of August, which celebrates the magnificent summers in our Valley, and so much more.
What makes this house unique
Catch prize blue ribbon trout at several public accesses along the Gallatin River just a few miles away, ski three downhill and two cross country ski resorts, hike in an area replete with well-groomed hiking trails, and bike the extensive trails in Bozeman itself.
It's a short 30 minutes to Bridger Bowl, 60 minutes to Big Sky ski resort, another 35 minutes to Yellowstone Park AND the relaxing, luxurious Bozeman Hot Springs and Spa is just 12 miles away!
As for IdylWest itself, the house feels both warm and cozy and spacious and modern at the same time. We love the outdoor living space which, with its bushes, flowers and even strawberries, gives you a feeling of being in nature while at the same time you're right in a city neighborhood.

Why Escape?
The Women's Center of Rhode Island would like to thank our Honorary Chair Km Zandy, our sponsors, community partners, volunteers, donors, walkers and friends for stepping out to support the Third Annual Walk to End Domestic Violence at Pierce Stadium on October 18th.
You were the "heart and sole" of this annual fundraising event and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Every step taken and every donation made will help us make great strides in our life saving work of helping victims of domestic violence become survivors.
If you were unable to join us for the Walk but would like to support the event, you can make a donation today!
Thank you for helping us make great strides in helping victims of domestic violence take the steps they need to become survivors!
The 12th Annual Women of Excellence Awards Luncheon was held on Friday, May 2, 2014 in the Grand Ballroom of the Providence Marriott Hotel.
This signature fundraising event provides the Women's Center of Rhode Island with an opportunity to honor exceptional women who have overcome adversity, achieved success and/or unselfishly opened doors for other women. We wish to congratulate our 2014 Awardees:
All proceeds from the luncheon directly fund the life saving programs and services provided by the Women's Center of Rhode Island. You can still make a donation if you were unable to attend!
Dear Friend,
"Everything I ever needed to learn about becoming a domestic violence survivor, I learned during my three-month stay at the Women's Center." said Grace shortly after she left our shelter and walked through our front door prepared to continue her journey as a survivor.
Like many of the women who find the courage to call our hotline for help, Grace felt locked in an unhealthy relationship and realized that she needed to leave her abuser. She dialed our number and was given the guidance and support she needed to walk through our doors seeking safety and the support services she needed to begin her healing.
Grace credits the Women's Center of Rhode Island as being the "best school" providing the "best life lessons" that she will continue to practice throughout her life. Through her participation in support group sessions, counseling sessions and intensive work with her caring case manager and mentor, she learned about believing in herself.
Thanks to generous donors like you, Grace is now living independently in her own apartment. She remembers the lessons learned while living at the Women's Center, and extends her gratitude to our dedicated staff for "saving her life" by helping her through a challenging time in her life.
I'm writing to you today to ask you to renew your support in providing hope for the many other women like Grace, who find the courage to walk through our door to safety. Your donation today is critical in helping us continue to provide life saving services…and hope to women and their children as they rebuild their lives.
Inspired by Grace's story and other survivor stories like hers, a longtime generous donor has offered a challenge to match donations from other Women's Center friends like you. Every gift received between now and August 25th will be matched dollar for dollar up to $10,000.00.
This special opportunity to double the value of your donation will help us meet the challenge of helping our clients overcome the challenges of domestic violence.
With this matching gift formula, a generous gift of $50.00 will become $100.00, $75.00 will have a $150.00 value and $100.00 will mean $200.00 to help support our work. Every gift will help us provide safety, shelter, counseling, case management and other vital resources and services for our clients as they heal and move on to independent lives.
Thank you for providing the keys for opening doors to a new life for survivors of domestic violence.
Kristin E. Lyons, MSW, LICSW
Executive Director
As an essential part of our mission, our Community Education and Outreach Coordinator Brandolyn Fluke works collaboratively with local school districts, educational programs and community agencies to help prevent the occurrence of violence and to educate the community about the dynamics of violence.
In collaboration with the Providence After School Alliance (PASA) and the Providence School Department, Brandolyn facilitated the "Young Women's Lives" program for 25 young people enrolled in PASA's Expanded Learning Opportunities (ELO) during the spring semester.
This 10-week program offers students an opportunity to earn graduation credits for learning that takes place beyond the classroom with a focus on building relevant real-world skills. As part of Young Women's Lives, this multidisciplinary curriculum included topics about healthy relationships, positive self-esteem, body image, masculinity and femininity, effective communication and conflict resolution skills, racism/sexism/oppression and the impact of technology and social media.
According to Brandolyn's students, HUB Expanded Learning Opportunities and Young Women's Lives earned an A+ for "their instructor and the exciting topics that allowed them to discuss issues that were important to them, especially the impact of technology and social media on their self image".
The 10-week program culminated with Demo Day in May, which provided an opportunity for the students to showcase their projects and demonstrate what they learned during the semester. Following their presentations, the students, ELO providers, facilitators and panel celebrated with refreshments and lively conversations about the past semester and plans for the summer.
While "school's out for summer", the lessons they learned continue. Many of the students said they plan to read books from Brandolyn's book list, while others mentioned that they'll take time to figure out what they want to do with their lives, develop a personal plan for healthy living, and become better friends with women in their families.
In addition to PASA and Providence schools, Brandolyn worked with Year-Up Providence, City Year Rhode Island, local school districts and community agencies, Planned Parenthood of Southeastern New England and the Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence during this past academic year.
Our collaborative partnerships enable us to reach out to hundreds of youth each year by providing them with the knowledge and tools needed to recognize and avoid harmful behaviors associated with unhealthy relationships, identify healthy relationships and develop effective communication and conflict resolution skills.
Committed to making a difference by responding to community needs, a group of faculty, staff and students from the Community College of Rhode Island volunteered for a day of service at the Women's Center as part of CCRI's Annual Community Service Day.
This dedicated volunteer team worked diligently to organize and clean our childcare room, and they rolled up their sleeves to scrub our dining room, kitchen and pantry from top to bottom. Everything they touched sparkled when they finished their work.
Following a morning of cleaning, they gathered together with our residents and staff for a pot luck luncheon and provided valuable information about CCRI's programs and resources that would help our residents continue their education.
This resourceful presentation provided hope for our residents by helping them realize that accessible and affordable educational opportunities are available for them to explore and utilize.
Community College of Rhode Island President Ray DiPasquale and Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Greg Lamontagne stopped by to meet the volunteers and WCRI staff. They shared their passion for the Women's Center's work and expressed an interest in fostering a relationship between the Community College of Rhode Island and the Women's Center.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Community College of Rhode Island for their volunteer spirit, hard work, enthusiasm and passion for making a difference in the lives of the individuals and families we serve.
We look forward to working with them on future projects.

Changes to This Summary (10/10/2014)
The PDQ cancer information summaries are reviewed regularly and updated as new information becomes available. This section describes the latest changes made to this summary as of the date above.
Added text about a 2013 meta-analysis, including four of five cohort studies from a 2004 meta-analysis, two new meta-analyses, and three case-control studies from the previous study plus eight new ones, that reported less convincing evidence for risk reduction; the authors concluded that tomatoes may play a modest role in the prevention of prostate cancer (cited Chen et al. as reference 26).
Added text about an updated 2013 meta-analysis that confirmed the good safety profiles of isoflavones but indicated no significant differences between treated and control groups for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels or sex steroid endpoints (cited van Die et al. as reference 22).
Added text to state that another group conducted a randomized placebo-controlled trial to examine the effect of soy isoflavone capsules on localized prostate cancer in 86 men who took the capsules for up to 6 weeks before prostatectomy; changes in serum-free and total testosterone, PSA, and total cholesterol were not different between the two groups, and the investigators noted that the 12 genes involved in cell cycle control and the 9 genes involved in apoptosis were down regulated in the tumor tissues of the isoflavone-treated men, compared with the controls (cited Hamilton-Reeves et al. as reference 32).
Added text to state that in a 2 X 2 factorial design study that investigated soy protein powder and venlafaxine in 120 androgen-deprived men, neither proved effective alone or in combination in decreasing hot flashes, although the number of vasomotor symptoms decreased significantly in all four arms over the 12-week trial; soy protein, but not venlafaxine, produced statistically significant improvements in emotional and functional subscales on quality-of-life instruments (cited Vitolins et al. as reference 40).
Added text about a 2014 study that evaluated calcitriol and a less-calcemic vitamin D analog in an aggressive transgenic adenocarcinoma of the mouse prostate model and found that neither vitamin D analog impacted the rate of development of castration-resistant prostate cancer in mice, whether they were treated before or after castration; however, both vitamin D analogs slowed progression of primary tumors in hormone-intact mice but enhanced distant organ metastases after prolonged treatment (cited Ajibade et al. a reference 8). Also added text to state that this preclinical data supports findings of the 2008 retrospective study of an association between serum vitamin D levels and aggressive prostate cancer (cited Ahn et al. as reference 9).
Added text to state that a 2008 retrospective study of 749 men with prostate cancer diagnosed 1 to 8 years after blood draw and 781 matched controls found higher circulating 25(OH)D concentrations may be associated with increased risk of aggressive disease. Also added text to state that both of these studies were included in a meta-analysis of 21 studies, involving 11,941 cases and 13,870 controls, that found a 17% elevated risk of prostate cancer in men with higher levels of 25(OH)D; one explanation offered for this finding may be a potential detection bias with men from higher socio-economic groups who have higher vitamin D levels and who are more likely to undergo PSA testing, resulting in higher reported incidence rates (cited Xu et al. as reference 17).
Added text to state that serum 25(OH)D levels were obtained from 667 men in Chicago undergoing first prostate biopsy for an elevated PSA or an abnormal digital rectal exam; severe vitamin D deficiency was associated with increased risk of a prostate cancer diagnosis on biopsy among African American men, and severe deficiency was positively associated with higher Gleason score, higher clinical stage, and overall risk category in both white and African American men (cited Murphy et al. as reference 18). Also added text to state that baseline serum 25(OH)D levels obtained in a case-cohort analysis from the Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial found significantly reduced risks among men who had moderate concentrations compared with men who had lower or higher values (cited Kristal et al. as reference 19).
Added text about a meta-analysis of nine nested case-control studies, representing approximately 370,000 men from several countries, that also found an inverse relationship between alpha-tocopherol levels and prostate cancer risk but in all the men studied rather than limited to a smoking subset; no association was seen with gamma-tocopherol levels. Also added text to state that the risk of prostate cancer decreased by 21% for every 25 mg/L increase in blood alpha-tocopherol level (cited Cui et al. as reference 11).

The summary reflects an independent review of the literature and does not represent a policy statement of NCI or NIH.

Tossed Broccoli Salad
I first learned about this salad when a relative of mine made it. I liked it so much that I asked for the recipe. I modified it a little by adding the bacon to it. It's a delicious salad, and the sauce really enhances the flavor!
8-10 Servings
Prep/Total Time: 10 min.
2 pounds fresh broccoli, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1/2 pound bacon, fried and crumbled
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 red onion, chopped
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
In a large salad bowl, combine broccoli, bacon, cheese and onion. In
a separate bowl, combine all dressing ingredients. Toss with
broccoli mixture. Yield: 8-10 servings.
Nutritional Facts:
1 serving (3/4 cup) equals 333 calories, 26 g fat (7 g saturated fat), 32 mg cholesterol, 347 mg sodium, 16 g carbohydrate, 3 g fiber, 9 g protein.

Cash increases
If you obtain a property in Maryland and sell it to get a higher price, the difference between the purchase price and the attempting to sell price is called capital gain. In other words, make money from selling a property for a greater value is the capital gain on the property. Capital gains might be short term or long-term.
Short-term gain: Should you sell your home within 36 months after buying it, the gain is named short-term capital gain.
Long-term gain: Each time a gain occurs from selling home after three years of its purchase, it is a long-term capital gain. If you think any thing, you will maybe require to read about analysis.
Calculation of capital gain: Capital gain is the difference between the selling price or the transfer price and the total cost of acquisition of the house.
The cost of purchase includes purchase price of the property, cost incurred in registration of the real estate property in Maryland, its repairs, storage charges, etc. In a nutshell, all the costs of capital nature are part of the price of acquisition.
The transfer price contains commission or brokerage paid by the cost of stamp papers, vendor, enrollment charges, traveling and litigation expenses incurred while transferring the actual estate property in Maryland.
Capital benefits tax:
Capital gains tax is charged on the gain that you make on selling a genuine estate for profit in Maryland. Dig up more about open in a new browser by visiting our stylish paper. It's calculated by subtracting the cost of acquisition of real estate from the transfer price of-the property. The big difference is added to your taxable income and charged based on the tax bracket you fall into.
The tax rates for long-term and short-term capital gains tend to be different. You must be alert of the tax structure of Maryland to-know what tax bracket you fall under and what tax rates are appropriate for the capital gains.
Criticism: It is usually argued that capital gains tax results in double payment of taxes. The value that's sold may have been contained in the value of assets sold by you while determining wealth tax. Therefore, including capital gain in the income tax statement in-the sam-e year might result in double-payment of taxes.

Hindsight Should Be 20/20
My reading assignment for this summer has been this book from 1960. Translated into German for the Deutsche Demokratische Republik by a "collective," it represents the official textbook for the ideology of communist East Germany. Students were tested rigorously in the public school system on their mastery of this philosophical/political worldview.
This massive, 850-page book is enormously comprehensive. Over halfway through, I find that the ideas of Marxism-Leninism are very much alive in spite of the trouble that they have had reconciling themselves with the nature of things. Nearly every page contains ideas that are very popular today.
The Marxist-Leninists were (and are) quite optimistic about communist societies. I just read this on page 493 (where I am today), which is quite relevant in light of the later history of the countries that are mentioned. This was written as the Cultural Revolution in China had just visited its incalculable destruction upon the entire country:
"In those places in which the people have entrusted the leadership of the State to the Communists--as in the People's Republic of China, the Korean People's Democratic Republic, and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam--there the battle for independence, for the comprehensive development of the national economy and culture, for the improvement of living and working conditions for millions upon millions of people, has been crowned with success.
In those countries in which the Communists belong to the united front for national liberation, the Communists fight bravely and selflessly for a common cause. They strive for a radical solution for the challenges of the entire nation as well as for the satisfaction of the most urgent needs and demands of the working masses. They work together honorably with the other patriotic forces, maintain loyalty to their partners in the anti-imperialist battle, and duly fulfill the duties that they have taken upon themselves. A successful national liberation--a national rebirth--without the participation of the Communists is unthinkable today in any country."

Puzzling Ideas of the Postmodern Age
Right and wrong are entirely constructs of the human will (except when I am talking to someone on the opposite side of political spectrum, who is morally reprehensible).
Good and evil are entirely constructs of the human will (except when I am talking to someone on the opposite side of the political spectrum, who is the embodiment of evil).
Sexual proclivities and behaviors are not at all constructs of the human will, but gender is entirely a construct of the human will.
No one has the right to judge anyone else (except for me, when I judge that you should never judge anyone else).
There is no ultimate truth (except for this statement, which is an ultimate truth).
All religions are equally good.
All religions are equally bad.
All religions are the same.
Religion is absolutely nothing more than an attempt to control people. Done. Next!
Beauty is entirely a construct of the human will (unless you like something that disgusts me, in which case beauty is more than merely a construct of the human will).
There is no self (although 'I' have no idea to 'whom' 'I' am speaking when 'I' say this).
There is a Higher Energy (although I really don't know exactly what I mean by this).
We are on the verge of destroying the Earth (even though the twelve-mile wide rock from space sixty-five million years ago that wiped out the dinosaurs failed to destroy it, as we can see by looking out the window right now).
Human beings are a virus (I don't know what this means outside of being an acceptable way to express misanthropy and self-hatred).
Everyone is out to get you (maybe you're right if you're that important, which you probably aren't).
Violence is always wrong (even when we're dealing with murderers).
We should have radical diversity (unless it is of viewpoints).
Killing human fetuses is a sacred and inviolable choice, but the state should outlaw incandescent light bulbs.
Pretty much everything is racist, unless you are of the opinion that white people are uniquely racist, which is not racist at all.
Having children is selfish (can you believe the nerve of your parents?!).
Humans are nothing more than animals. Snore.
There is no meaning to life (but I would never kill myself--not sure why not).
All we need is love.
Among others. Wish to dispute my take on them? Wish to add something to my list? Please do!

Un-Defining Marriage and Having to Make a Judgment
I am not so sure that we have re-defined marriage so much as completely un-defined it. We simply do not know as a culture what marriage is any longer. We think we do, but we really don't. I will show that this is the case in what follows.
This is the proposition that is currently guiding this debate:
L1: People who love each other ought to be able to marry.
The claim is that anyone who denies this is a hateful bigot.
It is obvious that L1 is hopelessly flawed. First and most obviously, we wish to exclude children from marrying adults. This is generally understood, but for clarity, let's introduce L2:
L2: Only adults who love each other ought to be able to marry.
Now, let's think seriously for a second. Are you ok with the United States government officially recognizing polygamous unions? This would inevitably happen with some Mormon break-away sects and with Muslims. Maybe you are fine with polygamy. Do you have a limit on how many husbands I can have? Is four too many? Ten? Thirty? Drawing a line beyond one partner has a strong ring of arbitrariness about it, so maybe we ought to abandon polygamy. Let's propose:
L3: Only two adults who love each other ought to be able to marry.
If you like L3, know that you will be accused of religious bigotry, Islamophobia, and imposing your beliefs onto others. But let's continue. You know that it will happen that a brother and sister wish to marry. Would you allow it? Perhaps not. We propose:
L4: Only two unrelated adults who love each other ought to be able to marry.
But why deny this to the siblings? Perhaps you worry that they will produce strange offspring. But they have sterilized themselves to parry precisely this objection. Are you now imposing your arbitrary prejudices onto them? You find it repulsive, but does that mean that you would deny them their rights? What if two brothers wished to marry? A father and son? A mother and daughter? Don't laugh! Don't think that mockery gets us out of this mess. You know that truth is stranger than fiction and that there are principles that we must clarify.
My point here is this: Unless you abandon the entire notion of marriage altogether, you are required to formulate a principle of marriage. And I guarantee you, when you commit to one, you will be accused of closed-mindedness, bigotry, and forcing your values onto somebody else. But now that you have read this post, you can no longer avoid this issue unless you abandon intellectual integrity itself.
The general insight that emerges is that we have not replaced the traditional understanding of marriage with something else; rather, we simply eliminated that understanding, and we are currently hoping that nobody notices and that nobody causes any trouble. But somebody will cause trouble, and we will have to have an answer.
We can no longer dismiss people simply for drawing some kind of a line now that we know that we have to draw one, as well. So who's in, and who's out?

Thinking in Shades of Gray
The truth is that some matters require thinking in terms of black and white, and some require thinking in terms of shades of gray. In logic, the first kind of thinking is called 'deductive' reasoning, and the second is called 'inductive' reasoning.
A deductive argument could be this: Mike owns a Sportster. All Sportsters are Harleys. Therefore, Mike owns a Harley. This argument has perfect form, so we call it 'valid.' Validity is like pregnancy—it's there, or it isn't. There is no sliding scale.
An inductive argument could be this: No shark of which I am aware from every source of knowledge in my life has ever been able to fly. Therefore, no sharks can fly. These arguments can be strong or weak, and there is a sliding scale of strength, hence shades of grey.
I have noticed two tendencies among people who claim to think in terms of only shades of gray. The first is a blatant hypocrisy—it is inevitable that this gray-thinking interlocutor has starkly black-and-white thinking on a wide variety of issues, and sees everyone on the other sides of those issues as evil/stupid/mistaken/dangerous/etc. It's just that on the issue under discussion at the moment, it is convenient to assert the gray-thought admonition. The second is obscurantist thinking—it creates a fuzzy target to deflect intellectual criticism of one's position. I conclude that thinking in only these gray terms is both unethical and anti-intellectual.
This is the correct advice: Think in terms of shades of grey at the appropriate times, and think in terms of black and white at the appropriate times. That is the real wisdom for the accomplished mind. Now sign up for my fall semester logic class!

Forcing My Beliefs Onto You
Countless people have asserted the following proposition to me:
F: It is always morally wrong to force one's beliefs onto someone else.
I will argue that F is false.
Consider the following:
W: It is always morally wrong to rape, torture, and kill children solely for the sake of one's personal sexual enjoyment.
You almost certainly agree with me that W is true. If you do not, there is nothing I can say to you.
Because of the moral seriousness of the behavior described in W, if W is true, then the following two propositions are true:
P: It is obligatory to prevent—forcefully, if necessary—people from raping, torturing, and killing children solely for the sake of their personal enjoyment.
S: It is obligatory to serve punishment—forcefully, if necessary—to people who rape, torture, and kill children solely for the sake of their own sexual enjoyment.
Now: If F is true, then P and S are false, since both P and S are instances of forcing one's beliefs onto someone else. Since P and S follow reasonably from W, then the affirmation of F is also the denial of W. The consequence of all this is that, if you affirm F, then you are also affirming not-W:
Not-W: It is not the case that it is always morally wrong to rape, torture, and kill children solely for the sake of one's personal enjoyment.
So, if you accept W, then you must reject F.
But what if you really like F? What to do? Perhaps you may deny either P or S. As long as you affirm at least one of them, however, then my conclusion follows, since only one of either P or S will save the inference.
Perhaps you may deny both P and S. Yet the moves from W to P and S are eminently reasonable, and denying both of them would require some extraordinary argumentation. Perhaps you can give it.
You could deny W, but it is most implausible to affirm F and deny W. This is because both F and W make moral claims, and the moral claim in W is in a far more certain position than the one in F.
You could argue that rejecting F would lead to all kinds of abuses. That is irrelevant, since the abuse of a principle does not condemn the principle itself to falsehood.
So I conclude that F is obviously false, and that therefore its opposite is clearly true:
Not-F: It is not the case that it is always wrong to force one's beliefs onto someone else.
Indeed, sometimes morality requires that you do so.

God-Blob: The Higher-Power Dilemma
In recent years, an enormous number of my students have been claiming to believe in a Higher Power and affirm that they are spiritual, but not religious. Here I share some thoughts on the object of their belief.
'Power' is the ability to do work, or possession of control or command over others. It can mean authority or ascendency.
'Higher' is a comparative, and as such is a relation. Relations require at least two relata (things about which the relation is to hold).
Let H stand for, 'A Higher Power exists.'
Most people who assert H mean to distinguish it clearly from the following:
G: God exists.
The first thing to notice is that since 'higher' is a comparative, H is really incomplete, and so the question arises, "Higher than what?" It would be like saying, "Mike is taller." Taller than he was in the past? Taller than you? We need more information.
Let's take the relata of 'higher' to be the power in question, on the one hand, and humans on the other. This is what I believe most people mean when they affirm H. Then we are affirming:
H2: A power higher than humans exists.
If 'power' is used in the sense of 'the ability to do work,' then we are saying that an ability to do work higher than humans exists.
This is ambiguous. It could mean:
H2A: An ability to do work exists that is higher than any human ability to do work.
Or it could mean:
H2B: An ability to do work exists that is higher than human beings are.
H2A is a meaningful sentence, but is trivially true. No one disputes it. H2B, on the other hand, isn't true (and it isn't false, either) because it possesses no clear meaning. There is no clear sense of 'higher' that makes sense of saying that an ability is higher than a human being. It would be much like saying that yellow is taller than Bob.
The dilemma: If H2 is what is meant by 'a Higher Power exists,' then 'a Higher Power exists' is either trivially true or meaningless.
Sometimes by 'power' people mean to say 'energy.' Energy is the exertion of power. Then we are saying that an exertion of power higher than humans exists. Again, if this makes sense, then it is trivially true. Everyone, without exception, already believes that there are powers in existence greater than any powers that humans can exert. Indeed, there is nothing at all incompatible between this claim and a thorough-going and consistent atheism. And, similar to the above, if one cannot properly compare an exertion of power to a human being in terms of higher and lower, then it is meaningless.
If 'power' means 'possession of command over others' or 'authority,' then we have:
H3: An Authority exists that is higher than human beings.
H3A: An Authority exists that is higher than any authority that humans possess.
H3B: An Authority exists that is higher than any human.
H3A is meaningful and not at all trivially true. It is therefore a significant claim; however, if H3A is true, what is to prevent a person from simply affirming G? Maybe he is averse to monotheism. One could affirm instead:
G2: God exists or Gods exist.
That would avoid the problem. Certainly most, although not all, who affirm H do not wish to affirm G2.
H3B is meaningless for the same reason that H2B is.
So here is the dilemma: If one takes 'Higher Power' to mean 'an Authority higher than humans,' then the statement will lead either to some form of theism, or it will be meaningless.
And now, my ultimate conclusion:
When someone affirms that a Higher Power exists, that person is doing one of the following three things:
1) He is affirming a triviality.
2) He is actually affirming some form of theism.
3) He is saying something meaningless.
My suggestion: If you are truly committed to the existence of a Higher Power then, in order to avoid triviality and meaninglessness, affirm some form of theism. There is a variety of theisms out there, including monotheism, deism, polytheism, and so on. That is your next adventure. On the other hand, you could stop affirming that there is a Higher Power and adopt a form of atheism. I am of the opinion that you will have to make some kind of a decision here, because without some form of commitment, you are left in an intellectually untenable position.
What motivates this Higher Power movement? I believe that it represents a reluctance to make a commitment. Many people are horrified to commit to the existence of a God for whatever reasons. They are also horrified to commit to the idea that there is no God. Both theism and atheism scare them, yet they don't adopt agnosticism, either. The Higher Power allows people to appear as if they are making a commitment without their having to make an actual commitment that subjects them to intellectual criticism, since no one knows exactly what they are affirming in any case. The benefit of this strategy is either that you will always be right, or that you will never be wrong. The cost of this strategy is either that you will be affirming a triviality, or that you will be affirming something that is meaningless.
The picture that has developed in my mind over the years of talking to people about this Higher Power is that of what I call the "God-blob." The God-blob is kind of like a smiling, fluffy cloud. It doesn't judge people. It just loves people. It never criticizes anybody. It feels really good, and likes to make us feel really good. And then we die, and then we just enter its happy fluffiness like the teddy bear jumping into a pile of dryer sheets.
Our ideas should not be unnecessarily fluffy. They should be as clear as possible. This is why I am intellectually dissatisfied with merely 'a Higher Power exists.'
My solution: Affirm God's existence. The Supreme Being exists, and is not a God-blob. Worship God and adopt both a spiritual AND a religious attitude toward our Creator.

Some Reflections on American V-Twin Motorcycle Engines
A few negatives: The cam-drive system has had some problems, as the very small tensioners pressing against the little drive chains in the gear-case can wear and sometimes fail, although this problem has been addressed to some extent. Switching over to a gear system requires an exquisitely small pinion shaft run-out specification that can be difficult to achieve. If the run-out is too great, the wobbling against the gear teeth can be dangerous, which is why Harley uses a chain in the first place, since a chain can accommodate much greater run-out.
Also, as the air-cooled TC has gotten ever larger during the displacement wars, the heat stress has become a major problem for the exhaust valves, which are getting so hot that they can burn up. Also, the temperature difference between the intake and exhaust sides of the head can become so radical that the aluminum head itself can actually distort, causing head gasket failure. Harley is now offering the "Wet-Head" engine on some of its touring bikes, which is actually running coolant through little radiators in the fairing lowers and then up through passages in the heads that surround the exhaust valves. The other models still have to make due without this cooling.
The TC bikes have separate engines, primary drives, and transmissions, all of which have to be bolted together. This increases the number of gaskets, seals, and o-rings required for oil control. This gives the bike more opportunities for leaks.
The final-drive pulley is sandwiched between the primary drive and the transmission, making the belts, which cannot be split and reconnected, a major operation to replace. The primary drive must be separated from the engine and transmission to access the belt. Most riders don't have the tools, skills, or knowledge to dive into this particular mess, so they'll have to open their wallets on that one!
With all that said, I would argue that the TC is a fine engine overall. The positives: The TC has a legacy, a look, and a soul that no other engine possesses. It is butter smooth, torquey as hell, and sounds like no other engine on earth. I adore the BT transmissions—they are incredibly smooth to operate and shifting them is a joy.
The Harley-Davidson Evolution Sportster Engine (XL): Another Harley icon. Rubber-mounted in the frame since 2004. The XL was once the hottest motorcycle engine on earth. Well, no longer, but its legacy cannot be questioned. I have owned an XL since 1995. I love it now more than ever. Here are my thoughts on the XL:
A few negatives: Older XLs, like mine, were mounted directly to the frame. They will make your fillings hop out of your teeth. The newer, rubber-mounted XLs are much smoother, but the frame became significantly heavier, affecting the power-to-weight ratio. Older XLs feel lighter, narrower, and more nimble than the new ones, although the vibrations are the price for that.
Whereas the older XLs had a "cartridge" transmission, allowing the tranny to be removed from the engine without splitting the cases, the newer ones require case splitting. I am fortunate to have the older design.
Older XLs had a major problem with rocker-cover-gasket leaks, although the gaskets have gotten better and the newer XLs have a different design, thereby minimizing the problem.
A few positives: The XL has straight push-rods, unlike the angled push-rods of the BTs, making for a sturdy valve train. The gear-case uses only gears without chains, and it has been bullet-proof for decades. The engine is a unit construction, eliminating the need to fasten three systems together, making for a strong unit with fewer leak opportunities. The drive belt is off to the right side of the engine, making belt changes far simpler. XLs have not suffered from the heat stresses of the TCs, but that is simply because they are smaller (74 vs. 103 cubic inches). Instead of the long, double-row chain of the BT, the XL uses a shorter, triple-row chain, making for a primary drive that never dies (mine has gone for 110,000 miles and shows no signs of stopping).
I have great appreciation for the TC engine, but I prefer the XL engine myself. If the XL engine were simply enlarged to the size of the TC, well, buh-bye Big Twin! The sheer design of the XL is vastly superior and Harley hit a home run when they designed it.
The Victory Freedom V-Twin Engine (VIC): Victory has existed since 1998 and has made unbelievable progress in a short period of time. Here are my thoughts on the VIC:
A few negatives: Well, it's another big v-twin engine. Nothing too radical there. And for people accustomed to push-rods, it might look a little off. The older VICs were fugley. I mean FUGLEY. I find the newer VICs to be quite attractive, however. The trannys on Victorys have always been clunky. I mean CLUNK! No one will miss when you click into first at the light. Due to the unit construction, tranny work requires case splitting, and this is a major operation on the massive engine of the Victory, which is 106 cubic inches and weighs somewhere around 250 pounds. Luckily, Victory engineers have made some frame mods to simplify engine work, but it still won't be as easy as it is with a Harley.
A few positives: Four valves per head makes for an excellent flow of gasses. The single-overhead cam allows for hydraulically adjusted valve trains (which BTs and XLs also enjoy with their push-rod designs), making for a no-maintenance valve train. Oil passages for cooling (the oil pump has a pump for lubrication and one for cooling) in the cylinders and heads allow for a degree of cooling that air-cooled engines cannot achieve, and without the need for a different fluid. Long cam-chain tensioners ensure a long tensioner life. Unit construction is very similar to the XL, with a direct-drive transmission that exits the right side of the engine, making belts easier to change. Gear-driven counter-balancers in the crankcase manage excessive vibration without the need for rubber mounts (some TCs also do this). The primary drive is entirely gear driven, eliminating any need to adjust a primary chain.
So here is my overall take on these three fine engines. My heart belongs to the XL. It was my first bike, which I bought new in 1995, and it is still my daily rider. Why is it STILL a daily rider? Because it's a freaking XL, and the XL design is awesome!
If I bought a brand-new bike today, what would it be? The Victory. The VIC engine is a masterpiece of engine design, and my experience with my own Victory has proven that the engine is stupidly reliable and oil tight. My 2004 Victory TC lives in the desert, has a sidecar on it, toured the country twice, has 50K on it, and has neither leaked a drop of oil nor required any engine or transmission repairs of any kind.
Although I appreciate the TC, I wouldn't buy one, personally. The soul of Harley lives in my XL perfectly well. The XL is, in fact, the longest-running continuously manufactured motorcycle in history. Talk about a legacy! So I will keep my XL forever and buy new Victorys.
And then came Indian… Indian, manufactured by Polaris (as is Victory), now has a 111 cubic inch v-twin push-rod engine. Its under-square design guarantees broad, massive torque. I do not have sufficient experience to opine much on this topic, so we'll have to see what happens. Having studied the design features of the Indian engine, I am still convinced that the Victory engine is ultimately the best design, but then, not everything depends entirely on the engine! You must choose the bike that speaks to your soul! Happy riding!
