Tell me if I asking for too much.
My bf broke up with me last Feb b/c we had a long expanding drift over his money situation. He's 60 yo, has no savings, still working as hard as ever (as a solo practioner attorney) for not very much money. At the time was in danger of losing his house bought at the peak 2007.
Shortly after we broke up, I met Mr. Belgium. We corresponded 5 months. I visited him last September and clearly this wasn't going to work. I was so exhausted after this experience. After this I thought about my ex bf and felt well, maybe he's not so bad. At least he's kind. I came back to my bf. He told me besides the unexpected mortgage remod (so now is able to keep the house), his view about money hasn't changed so why did I want to get back together. I told him how I felt, that I realized he's a kind person and we could manage. At that time, he was seeing an old gf of his which I don't think was serious for either of them. Anyway, he stopped seeing her and we're back together again.
Now, I'm starting to feel again maybe this isn't the best I could have. Don't know. Maybe I could still meet someone just as kind, w/o as much baggage, who's more financially stable. OTOH, while he has a career that has been supporting him in the past 30+ yrs, he makes enough to support himself and his obligations. Why not enjoy the R/S as it is?
How does one know?

CFK.. I keep thinking about this and after I read the resonses I am feeling more confused about it (lol)
I guess what I am saying is that I speak from the voice of experience in all matters of the heart and money.. When I was married to my exH we had money and a nice house and vacations and cars and it was very nice.. Only thing he was a NUT case and abusive.. So I knew that I was going to struggle again when I divorced him but I wasnt thinking of that at the time.. All I was thinking was I want out of this and I will hope for the best.. I have stated in previous posts that I do miss that lifestyle but fast forward to now and if I met a man who was healthy and had money that would be icing on the cake and that would be great.. Atleast I wouldnt have to pay for him nor support him hopefully ...
Now lets say I met a guy who was so nice and all but had limited funds I would probably date him also and as long as he didnt rely on me for money it would be okay I guess. I wouldnt want to be the one to support both of us or even him..but if he didnt have savings or retirement and just had some income I think that would be okay with me .. Not sure but I would hope that money wouldnt come in the way of liking someone.. I mean how much longer is our lifespan anyway at my age .. I would be happy just to have someone to go on a picnic with. (ha ha)or maybe that is how I feel today because I am alone and lonely.. I will let you know when I meet a poor guy who has nothing..
Awwwww.. Yes; my friend is lucky eh!! I even bought a whole meal once to make pot roast and stew because he wanted a low fat meal. So I bought all of the indredients with my own money and made the whole stew thing.. and he even took some of the leftovers home..but I am creative so I enjoyed the new recipe and enjoyed cooking it.. It was night when sis wasnt going to be home so I had the kitchen to myself and it was fun .. So when N came over we had the meal and watched a sci fi movie and it was fun.. It works both ways I guess.

Considering the guy is 60, do you think he'll want kids? But I do agree that kids are expensive. My ex has a really nice never married friend who is an architect. He'd buy everybody else's kids (even mine who he didn't know that long) nice presents for Christmas, so one of my kids asked "Is uncle Scott rich?" I said "He never had kids--that's why he has money." lol
But I also think that there is some kind of sexism going on--if a man has a nice career and makes a lot of money, usually he doesn't want to reject a woman who has a job but doesn't make that much because men are socialized to support the family, but if a woman makes a lot of money, she might reject a guy who makes less than her even if he's a hard worker and otherwise decent because she doesn't want to support him--but in that case, if they are younger, why can't she work & have him stay home & take care of the kids? There are situations like that even if they are unusual.

@ White Satin - sorry but in my opinion yes, you are absolutely asking for too much
@ Shywon - * He doesn't want anything serious and I wonder if his financials are why* - sorry but in my opinion and experience it has nothing to do with his finances but all to do with the *he is just not that into you*..
Best of luck for you both.

Okay everyone.. Hold the phones. (do they still say that?)
I just read JT response to this and hey everyone do you see how differently a man's emotions and thoughts are so different than a woman.. Most of us women responded with a type of emotional component to our message. Like awwwwwwwwwww just stay with him because he isnt so bad blah blah blah but JT responded with the exact point on what is going on here. So you see how women and men just as we always knew think way different from each other..
JT..I would hope that people took their relationships and finances seriously but we all befall on things we have no control over. Now we do make choices and yes I suffer now because I made some doozies .. Some things are a choice and some are bad luck or unforseen circumstances and life.. Now i have no idea what happened to Satins guy in life or he is just bad with money.. Lets say he had to pay alimony and child support or he had medical issues and he has limited funds because of that.. Or does he just throw his money away and spend foolishly..
I keep saying its the value of the person as you have stated JT......... Not the money ...........................I would date a man treated me well but he had no money because he became upon hard times as I have and going on a picnic would be fine with me.. I dont need to be wined and dined.. nor do material things mean that much to me.. Now if the guy had money and he threw it away on things that didnt matter that would bother me..
As far as women well the guy is 60 and maybe got lonely so he reached back out to his exgfriend.. There could have been a reason for it.. At times I reached out to by crazy exHusband because there was no one to rely on and I needed someone to talk to or go to lunch with because yes I was an emotional mess at the time.. thank goodness that is over but at the time it was what was okay in the moment..
Lie is n ot all cookie cutter and roses and to discard someone because of circumstances or bad choices in this time where its hard to find someone to me doesnt seem like a great idea.
|Tue, 01-15-2013 - 11:25am
I meant life life is not all cookie cutter.
Shy.. I would have to agree with Rocklady sadly.. The guy doesnt seem all that into you.. MOney wouldnt matter if someone really liked someone. Sorry.. but that is how I see it also..

Yes, I'm drifting along without passion. This is the confusing thing. Is this the right person and I need to be more passionate about or the lack of passion means it's not the right one?
At every stage in my love life, what I get is always less than what I want. With age, it seems the choices have gotten less desirable and I've lowered my standards over the years and no matter what the standards are, I can't get someone that meet them. For instance, when I was younger, I had opportunities with guys who were on the right track and since we were both younger and starting life, no baggage as well. However back then I not only wanted smart and financially-on-track, I also wanted good looking. Now at this ripe old age of 46, I realized I've never been that good looking myself and settle for smart and financially stable (not rich b/c most rich men are jerks anyway). With this guy can only get smart. Please note I haven't mentioned kindness because I always date kind guys. If he's not kind then we don't even get to the point where I would wonder about all these things.
You're right too that I'm settling. Since we've gotten back together, I've given up on having a life together. Since we really don't see eye to eye on the money issue, we can't marry. He's not good with helping around the house either but it's nice to have a man who's ready to help me should I need someone to help move things around or do very small things around the house. For a long time now, I'm not so interested in him sexually . I think it's because I don't feel psychologically connected. At this time he's a fun companion. I enjoy having dinners and good conversations over a glass of wine, do things with around town, talking about things I'm doing in my life, ect… And someday, God forbids, should one of us has a crisis, the other person would be around.
So the question I have for myself is: should I give up on the dream of being married and should just be happy with a life companion? Should I change my idea of what a good relationship should be. Is it settling or is it changing perspective to be happy with one has?
|Tue, 01-15-2013 - 11:03pm
Just look to your own career and money. What he has or does not have is not then an issue.

There is so much debate about the costs motoring causes for its end-user, and the impact of not being able to afford cheap fuel and cheap car travel. Its become such a powerful criticism of modern Governments that many of us haven't actually stopped, taken a deep breath and asked those important questions - are there reasons for these high prices? Is there a greater social impact caused by motoring?
Comparing Economic Costs of Driving to Cycling from Downfader on Vimeo.
Now I'm in no way advocating increasing motoring charges and taxation, and this is in no way a definitive guide. The money does, however, have to come from somewhere - and it clearly is coming from general taxation subsidising the clear up process. If we take one person's word for the claim that UK motoring produces 55 billion tons of carbon dioxide each year, and consider that UK motoring only accounts for 14% of all CO2 produced - that's still a startling problem we have.
It took me over a week to try and tie down some data on the environmental impact of motoring. The best I could find came from a study released a couple of years back from the Institute for Fiscal Studies, but their data on cars comes from 1998. One thing to take into account - yes the IAM say cars are greener this decade than the last, but cars are bigger and there are more of them as we can see. The IFS could be, and probably are, still are in the right ball park.
Internet shopping has also lead to a small expansion in logistics and deliveries. Haulage has expanded a small amount in the past 10 years.It is a shame we cannot expand the railways for this, or install underground-electric for logistics. It would free up the £20 billion lost each year (projected to be £30 billion the way things were going!) and rapidly improve service, emissions, costs (no need for as many drivers, loads can be increased).
It also took me over a week to figure out the costs of cycling related KSIs. These turn out to be a few million sterling. Even one death is one death too-many, but you have to be unsettled by the death-toll in recent years involving motor vehicles.
I could not, sadly find decent economic costs for having to deal with law breaking such as running red lights (in all modes of transport). I certainly couldn't find decent data to pin down the cost of errant parking on pavements and other places where people shouldn't park (eg fire exits, crossings). There were a few websites suggesting a few million sterling, and about 60-65% of these fines/charges were successfully challenged. However I am not comfortable with the figures and so have left it as a "newspaper claim" on the video.
So to keep it simple I have kept with this approach: KSIs+ Environmental+ Traffic Jams and Congestion. These after all were the most important pieces of data and had the most impact on people's lives.

It seems that commercials are no longer made just to get you to buy the product anymore, but instead creative minds come together to produce innovative, sharp and witty advertisements to grab the consumer's attention, and by association the brand becomes those things, too. Foot Locker has successfully accomplished that with a commercial that doesn't just feature great celebrities, but features them completely self-deprecating themselves. You can enjoy scenes such as people cheering as Dennis Rodman purchases a one-way ticket to North Korea, Mike Tyson returning the part of Evander Holyfield's ear he bit off during a fight, and more.

A Cautionary Tale
Lindsay McKinnon
Ever since I've started looking into porn addiction, it has been apparent that for whatever comments someone makes about porn, for or against, there will be not a small amount of people responding to those comments in a derogatory, derisive and insulting way.
Since I've started my blog, website and book, I've had my own fair share of pro-porn people respond with their usual knee jerk reaction against what I am saying, often times, without really hearing the message I'm attempting to make.
On occasion, some of those comments have come from porn addicts themselves; which is not so surprising as I am on the side of the partner working toward her well-being and putting herself before her partner and his addiction (as a rule, women tend to put others before themselves – that is how we show our love – which is not necessarily a bad thing – with someone who warrants it).
One porn addict proclaimed that he couldn't recognise himself in the way I had described addicts; even though he stared at young (underage?) girls when they were out in public, thought of the porn he watched in order to make love to his wife (which is hugely painful and humiliating for the partner),… oh and having unprotected sex with prostitutes. In his eyes, there was no reason his long suffering wife shouldn't stand by him.
Sometimes – and I entirely understand and respect this – I get recovering porn addicts who can see what my aim Is and why my style is the way it is – but they find that the images on my site act as a trigger for them, so although they will no longer follow me, they wish me well on my quest.
I have learned from Robert Jensen and Gail Dines, that it is best to ignore comments that personally attack one's work or persona, simply because the time wasted on the angry detractor is detrimental to one's well-being and the time spent arguing with them would be better spent on productive work.
I agree with this entirely and have learned the hard way that what they say is entirely accurate.
It is not often then that I do respond to these people and even less often that I am driven to not writing in my usual humorous style. However, I was made aware of a woman on the fantastic blog site Feed the Right Wolf, who had launched into an attack on me and my site.
I have added her comments in a hyperlink at the bottom of this piece (or here) and my response that followed in order that I do not misquote her (as she does with me) and to give the reader a background of what I am referring to. I have even included her final response to me which sounds like the ranting of a mad woman (meandering about 'the laughing primate on Craig's List' – huh?) and made so little sense that I chose to walk away from the discourse. I am sure my feelings of pity for her would only anger her further.
Now, this isn't about this woman in particular, more what she represents: and that is: a very sad, misguided person who has lost her life to her husband's addiction.
She indicates that she is a good wife, because she has stood by her husband who has been a porn addict (and I suspect a sex addict – which means he's cheated on her and exposed her to the risk of STD's and AIDS, on numerous occasions) for over twenty years.
This woman comments on the thousands of hours she has spent going to COSA, CODA, SA, SAA, et al, reading books, seeking out sites and learning all she can about her husband's porn addiction. For twenty years (I believe that is the time scale she is referring to, she is a little ambiguous) she has sacrificed her own life and happiness and become as obsessed with porn as her husband is.
She attacked me on many points including; in terms of what she had done, my three-something years spent with a porn addict meant I was 'only a baby' in terms of understanding the addiction and suffering through it.
In fact the opposite is true – I saw the reality of the situation, that my particular porn addicted partner, who had been addicted for nearly thirty years – was never going to be free of his addiction and instead of continuing to ruin my physical and emotional well-being by staying with him and putting up with his half-assed attempts at recovery, his Denial, Anger, Lies, Defensiveness and Evasion, (I'd become seriously underweight due to the stress) I was wise enough to know when I was fighting a losing battle and, despite my love for him, I chose to walk away.
I did not walk away at the first hurdle, but after giving him chance after chance. I spent over three years effectively banging my head against a brick wall, trying every way I could think of to 'help' him, in my determination to 'be a good, strong and supportive partner'. The third time I left him, was the last time. It was by no means an easy decision and I will say that far from it showing strength to stay with the partner, it takes more strength to leave.
My friends, seeing the affects his addiction on me, wondered why the hell I stayed so long.
This woman also attacked my style and humour saying that it was dangerous and insulting to the addict – I will certainly agree it's insulting to the addict who cannot or will not change (a category I suspect her husband falls under, which this poor deluded woman is so patently blind to).
Much as this is entirely not what this lady intended I would like to hold up her words as a prime example of a cautionary tale for any woman who decides to stand next to her partner and get him all the help he needs, with no real progress and/or commitment on his part.
It does not take strength to stay – all it takes is an unhealthy dose of Denial.
It does take strength to leave in order to give your partner the kick up the ass he needs to let him know – you will not ENABLE him.
I have no doubt that her husband may be a lovely, decent, hard-working partner and father (?) but that does not lessen the pain the partner feels. The bottom line is, his addiction has ruined their marriage and therefore, both their lives.
Porn is a powerful addiction and the path ahead for both of you can be long and hard – it can be a lot longer and harder if you hold his hand instead of using Tough Love and telling him in no uncertain terms that you will not be a victim of his addiction.
If this woman had done all the research she claims to have done – and I have no doubt she has – then she is proof of what living in Denial is; because she should have well learned by now that:
You CANNOT do this for him.
Quite the opposite.
The more you do to 'help' the less he will do to help himself.
If he TRULY wants to be rid of the addiction – he will seek out help, not more porn – which her partner has obviously been doing. If he CAN'T beat his addiction, despite his best efforts – then what is the point in remaining with him? What exactly do you expect to happen, other than, more of the same?
If this sad woman had said eighteen years ago – 'look pal, I've done all I can. I'm through. Get your ass out of here and take your porn with you. When you can show me BY YOUR ACTIONS that you are getting help, then we can talk about getting back together' then maybe she would have given him the impetus to heal. Or, he would have carried on with his addiction and be in exactly the same place as he is now.
Either way, at least she wouldn't have spent the last twenty years of HER life, attending countless meetings and spending every waking hour obsessing over SOMEONE ELSE'S ADDICTION.
She at least would have been able to move on with her life and have a happy marriage with someone who is MORE FAITHFUL TO HER THAN HE IS TO PORN (and sex with strangers if he is a Sex Addict as well).
It is patently obvious that her staying has not helped him in any way. He is still an addict. She is still a victim of his addiction. You have to ask yourself what she is getting out of this. Does she get a kick out of being a martyr? Of being the righteous one? Of being somehow better than her partner and using his addiction as a club with which to beat him?
What angers me about this woman and what she represents, is the claim to be 'a good wife' because she has stood by her husband despite his obvious lack of recovery.
This idea leads partners of addicts to stay in a bad relationship that is damaging to them.
Partners of porn addicts often suffer from PTSD – in which case, this lady is expecting those who are traumatised by their husband's addiction to stay with him anyway – perhaps until they end up having a nervous break-down or taking their own life, because 'standing by your man' is what constitutes 'a good wife.'
This thinking is dangerously misguided.
Being a good wife has nothing to do with staying in a physically, spiritually or emotionally abusive relationship. I have no doubt that this woman would be the first to say that the husband of a wife, who cheats on him constantly, should banish her and leave her to her own misery. For some reason though – it should be expected of a wife to stand by a husband who does the same thing.
With all due respect: this woman is still with her husband because she refuses to admit defeat. Refuses to see when she is fighting a losing battle. Refuses to let go and get on with regaining her own health and happiness. The result is a very bitter, uptight, self-righteous and angry person. In the meantime her husband – committed to his own recovery or not – is secure in the knowledge that no matter how many times he 'slips up' and returns to porn; no matter how many times he cheats on her – she is going to put up with it. She is going to continue therefore, to enable him.
HIS PORN ADDICTION HAS DESTROYED TWO LIVES, which she wears like a medal of honour.
This lady also says that my words shame the addict, which is not good for him.
Guilt she claims, is ok for him to feel, but not shame.
To me, the 'Guilt' thing is as unhealthy as Shame.
I don't want the addict to feel either Guilt or Shame.
What he should feel is RESPONSIBILITY.
He is Responsible for his porn addiction. He is Responsible for his actions. He – and HE ALONE is Responsible for his healing. He is Responsible for the consequences of his actions – including losing his partner (no consequences = little incentive to change).
The partner is IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE for her spouse becoming an addict and WILL DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD if she does not recognise that she is NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS HEALING.
The partner IS Responsible for her own life, happiness and well-being and that of her children. If she chooses to stay with a man who is more committed to his addiction than he is to her – then she only has herself to blame for the misery in which she will live.
Even the addict who is truly committed to his own healing has a hell of a battle ahead of him. The partner has to be realistic about what is ahead of her and that she could be facing a life time of relapses.
He could be the best man in the world and you may love him with all of your heart. As we mature though, one of the hardest and most eye opening lessons we learn is: love isn't always enough.
This is something a Love Addict can find the most difficult thing to come to terms with. It is an unfortunate truth that we don't always fall for someone with whom it is healthy to be in love with. Sometimes we can be in love with someone who it is downright unhealthy to be in love with.
Therefore, I would urge any partner of a porn addict to read this piece, this lady's attack on me and my response.
If you choose to stay and take on his recovery instead of telling him to shape up or ship out, you make a decision, with your eyes wide open, of what's ahead of you. If you choose to stay then great, but take a REALITY CHECK before you make the decision.
I will leave the last words to Dr Phil, who has said that anyone who chooses to be in a relationship with a porn addict is opening themselves up to…
'a world of pain.'

Hi guys,
Alex here. I want to apologize. I was gone for a while, while this debate has unfolded. I was dealing with graduation, moving, my wedding, my grand mother's funeral, and honeymoon all one after another and had not time, energy, or internet connection to stay up to date with feedtherightwolf.
I've looked over the DontRewardBadBehaviour and I can see why it would be offensive/triggering to our readers.
That being said, I don't think that the site was made with bad intentions. I just don't think it is properly suited for our audience.
I command you for trying to raise awareness. I've tried to do that in the past, and found it extremely hard to do. That is why I decided to concentrate on helping those who already know they have a problem, and let the others figure out things on their own. In many cases people need to hit bottom, before they are ready to listen.
I do believe we are on the same side of the equation, and we are both striving to make this world a better place, a less pornography infected place. But I also realize that we do have some differences.
I would encourage us to respect each other as much as possible.
I am leaving most of your comments on this site, because I do think that you are fighting for good, and I do want to help your effort.
Where I do cross the line is when you begin to go after our long term readers and attack them personally. Anon and her husband have been through a lot, and I know them very well on here. Yes staying in a relationship with a porn addict is tough decision and not for everybody. But I sure am happy that my wife decided to stay with me. And yes, like all the other sex and porn addicts I am not perfect, but we strive to make things work.
Please be advised that all of the comments aimed at targeting our loyal readers or of the links that could be triggering to our readers will be removed.
Once again, I do believe you are fighting the same battle as we do, but I also do ask you to be respectful of our community if you want to participate in our discussion.

This is one of my personal favorites and is a very important message to spread.

This article highlights a problem we encounter often, and that is the misconception about when a home theater designer should be brought in to consult on a new home theater project. A common perception is that the theater designer isn't needed until after the room is framed and ready for the audio/video equipment. In reality, that is far too late, and this 2-part article highlights two case studies that explain why a theater designer should be hired as early in the space's design as possible.

That said, here's a very cool story I found today. It tells the tale of Benjamin Timoner, who set out Christmas of last year, and walked 2,671 miles to Myrtle Beach, SC all in the name of pancreatic cancer awareness and research. He finished his walk today at 2PM. Along the way, he even suffered a heart attack, which set him back for a few months - but this didn't stop him. How inspiring!
Benjamin's father was taken by pancreatic cancer at the age of 41, when Benjamin was just 5 years old. He decided to start his walk when he would be one day older than his father "got the chance to be."
If you'd like to read more about Benjamin and his walk, you can visit his personal website here.

The City also funded several community priorities that were identified during ASK Vista meetings in 2006.

All projects have now been constructed and are completed.
Funds will also be used to maintain street and sidewalk repairs, increase beautification of the City medians and landscaping, and maintain other general services such as parks and community services.
The half-cent sales tax is collected on:

Name the hospital and its Starting Salary!!! - page 5
Mt. Sinai $68,000 effective 1/07... Read More
- 0Mar 8, '07 by pcicurn7Does anyone know the starting salary for Cornell? I've heard it's $64k, is that correct? What about for hospital of special surgery?
- 0Mar 27, '07 by RNDreamerThe Mount Sinai Hospital:
Competitive salaries start at $68,003 effective 1/07 immediately upon hire for clinical nurses. Up to $7,500 additional for 10 years experience. Shift differential of $5,400. Educational differential of $1,000 for BSN; $1,200 for MSN; $1,500 for doctorate. Per diem rate of $46.09 effective 1/07 plus $2.76/hr for evening/night differential. Annual certification award of $1,250. Preceptor pay of $2.50/hr. Charge pay of $1.50 ($2.00 effective 7/07.)
NYU Medical Center:
Financial: Base salary of $63,937 annually plus four differentials: (1) education, $1,300 for BSN; (2) up to $9,000 for 12 years' experience; (3) shift differential of $5,600 for evenings and nights; and (4) salary differentials of up to $6,000 a year on the clinical ladder for the four levels of practice. Specialty certification bonuses are available.
- 1Apr 25, '07 by pennprincessHey everyone,
NYU's starting salary is 65,700 as of current with the same info as above. Plus, they do 13 shifts a month, but on certain floors such as the ICU and PACU, if you do three shifts a month overtime, they give you a $1200 bonus on top of the time and a half you're already getting. I did my senior leadership there and my instructor is a nurse at the institution so that's how I heard of this stuff (also applying to hospitals as of right now). I'm kind of disappointed though, as I heard memorial sloan kettering's 70k, nyp-cornell is 69,700, mount sinai is 68... NYU is supposed to be up there with them and they are lagging behind. I will be looking at a couple more hospitals next week (lenox hill, jamaica, harlem hospital center) but I think they pay less? Maimonides in Brooklyn starts at 66,800. I just want a job!
- 0Apr 25, '07 by pennprincessAlso, I think all of the public hospitals just got a better contract deal and are around 62k with 3% increases each year for the next few years? Not sure about that. Also, Montefiore in the Bronx is around 68k starting.
- 2May 9, '07 by ProudGayRNQuote from kittem20 an hour? Let me tell you something honey, if that is all you are making in Albany its time to move to Chelsea!! WOO HOOalbany medical center hospital, teaching hospital & level 1 trauma center, albany, ny 20.50/hr for rn, 20.75/ hr for BSN... plus pay enhancement of up to an extra 5200/ year for 80 hr at bedside per pay period... pays out as 200 extra per pay period.

Community Support Program
Like a number of isolated rural areas in Costa Rica, infrastructure in the community where the Pacuare River put in and the Pacuare Lodge are located is scarce and poorly maintained by the government.
Consistent with our belief that responsible tourism should benefit and respect local communities, Aventuras Naturales works directly with people and institutions in the area in a variety of ways.
Primary School Assistance
There are three primary schools located along the Pacuare River between Tres Equis and Siquirres. These schools, in Bajo de Tigre, Linda Vista , and Guyacán, are where local children receive their first years of instruction. With a lot of enthusiasm but very few resources, they are each run by a single teacher who teaches all grades in the classic one-room schoolhouse. Located in poor communities and with limited resources, , it is a struggle to provide even pencil and paper for each child.
If you wish to make a donation directly to this school assistance program, you can do so in our offices when you pay for any of our tours. If you wish to make a donation without taking a tour, just e-mail us for instructions on how to do so. Donations are transferred in their entirety - no administrative or other fees are deducted -directly to the school boards, who in turn utilize the funds to purchase much-needed school materials and services.
Please remember that even a very small donation of US$5 can do a great deal for these poor schools. If you are going on one of our overnight Pacuare trips, and making an additional donation of US$100 or more, we would be delighted to arrange a personal visit to the Bajo de Tigre School. Here you can meet the teacher and some of the local school children.
As you can see from the following photographs, our most recent donor was able to assist us in providing the Bajo Tigre School with a much-needed computer system, including software donated by Microsoft. The shy smiles on the faces of the school children speak a thousand words and touch the soul more deeply than just a simple "Gracias". This computer will aide these children for years to come as they learn the vital computer skills that will aide them as they make the transition into a fast-paced, ever-changing workforce.
Additional Projects
In the community where the Pacuare River put-in is located, we have improved and maintained roads, which were previously almost abandoned, as well as the cable car local residents use to cross the river. We have placed our cellular telephone at the service of the community for emergencies - previously there was no easy communication available. Finally, one of our most enthusiastically received efforts has been the sponsoring of a local soccer team.

Most family therapists inadvertently create more chaos through their well-intentioned efforts to assist a family move through a change process. Why? Brains are inherently deregulated (all of us, may I add) and most talking and dialoguing misses brain-centric problems that need more intensive help. Many times the emotional trauma created by years of solving problems ineffectively can wreak havoc on the brain's parasympathetic nervous system, not ever giving the family a break from flight or fight thinking. Contact us for an innovative neuroscience solution to family dysfunction. email@example.com or 877-606-6161.
One of the compelling reasons I ended up working with marriages is because I helped a young man in my church dedicate himself to God and really turn his life around and he went home and his step-father picked a fight with him and his mom called the police and the police hauled this kid away! I realized then, if I wan to help children and families, I need to help mom and dad. I believe husbands and wives and marriages are the foundation of society and I am an expert in helping those couples thrive in their relationships, so they can be a blessing to their families. The greatest gift parents can give their children is for mom and dad to love each other. Let me help you give this gift!

Mark Webber led the way at a hot and humid Sepang circuit on Friday morning, edging Australian GP winner Kimi Raikkonen by 0.068s.
It was a slow start to the session as the teams all waited for another to blink. Eventually - after 30 minutes - Max Chilton ventured out and clocked a 1:42.513. McLaren joined the Marussia driver out on track with Sergio Perez going quickest while Romain Grosjean took second ahead of Jenson Button. However, halfway through FP1 they were the only four drivers on the timesheets.
Shortly after more headed out with Lewis Hamilton taking over at the front after posting a 1:38.113. The Mercedes driver had a brief exchange with Grosjean for the top spot before his team-mate Nico Rosberg entered the fray.
Rosberg's reign, though, was also short-lived as Mark Webber climbed to the top of the timesheets while his team-mate Sebastian Vettel made it a Red Bull 1-2 ahead of a Mercedes 3-4.
With the Red Bulls looking secure in first and second the battle was on for third with Fernando Alonso taking the fifth to the Mercedes drivers as he climbed to fourth place ahead Adrian Sutil, Felipe Massa and Paul di Resta. Hamilton was down in eighth with 30 minutes remaining in the session.
Esteban Gutierrez brought out the first yellow flags of the session as he came up behind the slower Ferrari of Massa and balked as he braked. The Mexican rookie touched the grass and found himself backwards on the run-off area. Moments later Adrian Sutil was seem lapping with a broken front right wing courtesy of a trip over the grass.
A mixture of strategies emerged in the final 30 minutes as Kimi Raikkonen opted for used tyres, which put him up to second place, while Hamilton switched to race set-up and putting in a few 1:44s before being told by his Merc engineer that he needs to get that down to a 1:42.
The final ten minutes of FP1 saw some serious tyre issues for some of the drivers with anyone from reigning Champ Vettel complaining about "vibrations" to newcomer Giedo van der Garde pointing his out to his Caterham team. The old tyres meant that the drivers were not able to improve their times and Webber finished quickest of all, 0.068s up on Raikkonen.

text: NY ex-governor testifies at sex-offender trial Print article Send a Tip AP 7/23/2013 6:37:53 PM (AP) NY ex-governor testifies at sex-offender trialBy LARRY NEUMEISTERAssociated PressNEW YORKDefending himself against a lawsuit, former New York Gov. George Pataki insisted Tuesday that he knew none of the details of a program to institutionalize violent sex offenders after they finished their prison sentences when he green lighted the plan in 2005.Pataki told a jury in Manhattan federal court that he did not even know what law was used to transfer more than 100 prisoners to psychiatric centers before a state court ruled that the practice was illegal a year later. Six convicted sex offenders have sued him and the state.U.S. District Judge Jed S. Rakoff told jurors before Pataki testified that the initiative was unconstitutional and it was their job to determine whether the defendants acted with intent to deprive the plaintiffs of their constitutional rights.If the jury finds Pataki and the state responsible, it could assess damages. The trial is in its third week.Pataki was confronted on the witness stand with his own words in the form of a press release from the governor's office and a statement issued in his name. In the statement, he said he directed the state's mental health department and corrections officials to make sure every sexually violent predator in state custody was evaluated before their release from prison to see if they needed to be involuntarily committed.But Pataki testified that the statement was not true."I didn't direct them directly," he said. "Me personally, I never gave a directive."He said he did direct members of his office to study whether existing law could be used to involuntarily commit violent sexual predators who finished their prison sentences.He did so after the New York Legislature for a sixth straight time refused to consider legislation passed in the Senate that would make it possible to have the prisoners evaluated to ensure they were not released if they still posed a threat, Pataki said.The three-term governor who finished his last term at the end of 2006 said he asked his staff to look into the possibility of the program after a Democratic assemblyman and a prosecutor suggested it could be done under existing law.Pataki announced in October 2005 that every sexually violent predator in state custody would be evaluated for involuntary civil commitment once their prison sentences were finished.The practice was halted in late 2006 after the state court ruling, but some of the prisoners remained in psychiatric institutions years afterward.About 20 states now allow certain sex offenders to be detained at psychiatric facilities after their sentences are served if they have a mental disorder that would make them more likely to offend again.

Born in Bulgaria and a graduate of the Hochschule für Musik, Berlin, Yordan Kamdzhalov was unanimously chosen as General Music Director by the City of Heidelberg in 2011. At the age of 30 this appointment involved his becoming Chief Conductor of the Opera Theater, the Heidelberg Philharmonic Orchestra and Heidelberg's Schloss Festival; the same year, after a successful series of concerts with the National Sofia Philharmonic Orchestra, he was also invited to become Principal Guest Conductor. In December 2013 he made his Tokyo-debut with the New Japan Philharmonic and was at once re-invited.
Amongst other concert and operatic engagements prior to his Heidelberg appointment he conducted Carmen with great success at the Komische Oper Berlin and was re-invited for Tales of Hoffmann, the Hamburg Philharmonic Orchestra (immediately re-invited), the Orquestra Sinfonica Portuguesa, the English Chamber Orchestra, Ensemble Modern Frankfurt, USA tour with MusikFabrik Köln in Boston and in New York, an international concert tour with Helsinki Baroque Orchestra and the Mezzo Soprano Vesselina Kasarova. Also there were concerts with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin at the Philharmonie Berlin (broadcast live 2011), with the Philharmonia Orchestra at London's Festival Hall (2010), the Orchestra Toscana at the Teatro Verdi in Florence (broadcast live 2011) and the Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra.
In 2009 he was unanimously awarded 1st Prize at the Jorma Panula International Conducting Competition and the following year 3rd Prize at the Gustav Mahler Conducting Competition, Bamberg; he was also selected to work over an extended period with the Philharmonia and London Philharmonic Orchestras as part of the Allianz Cultural Programme; this involved working with well-established conducting mentors including Lorin Maazel, Vladimir Jurowski and Esa Pekka Salonen (who subsequently invited him to act as Cover Conductor for the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra).
More recently he has conducted Carmen and Turandot (Theater Magdeburg), Maria Stuarda (Staatstheater Darmstadt), Tosca (Wintherthur) and made his debut at the Theater Bonn and at the Lisbon Opera. As General Music Director in Heidelberg he opened the rebuilt Opera Theater in 2012 conducting Tchaikovsky's Mazeppa and his subsequent performances of Wolfgang Rihm's new opera Dionysos earned him Opernwelt's nomination for "Best performance of the Year". His time at Heidelberg has seen highest number of sell-outs in the history of the Opera and the orchestra. Orchestrally, he has recently made debuts in Sweden, Singapore, Riga and Japan, and has an upcoming concert in St Petersburg with the State Hermitage Orchestra. In Heidelberg a forthcoming Bartok 3rd Piano Concerto with Plamena Mangova will be broadcast nationally and at the International Heidelberger Frühling Festival in 2014 will see Das Lied von der Erde with Christianne Stotjin.
Kamdzhalov has a particular interest in contemporary music and is Artistic Director and Principal Conductor of the Berlin Group International Ensemble Innorelatio. Chosen by Peter Eötvos, he took part in the Lucerne Festival Academy (2007) which involved workshops with Pierre Boulez as well as a public performance of Stockhausen's Gruppen for three orchestras, and his German debut (2005) was the World Première of B. Schweitzer's opera Informationen über Bartelsby in cooperation with the Komische Oper Berlin.
In order to have more flexibility with international engagements Yordan Kamdzhalov has reluctantly decided not to renew his contract but has been invited by the City of Heidelberg to become Principal Guest Conductor.

- Date: Saturday, December 6th, 2014
- Location: Grandma's In The Park (Hibbing Park Hotel)
- Social Hour: 4:30 - 6:00 p.m.
- Dinner: 6:00 - 7:00 p.m.
- Program: 7:00 p.m.
Do you have a friend or family member that is hard to shop for at Christmas Time? Is that person a race fan? Why not get them a 2015 Season Pass for the Hibbing Raceway!!
Here is how it works. The pass is a "punch pass". One pass is good for twelve nights of regular racing. You pay $130.00 for eleven of those twelve nights and get one for free. If a race fan is also an Enduro fan, that same pass can be used for those events also. Twelve Regular Race Nights for the price of Eleven and you can use the pass any way you want. If you want to get into twelve regular race nights yourself, you can.
If you want to get yourself and your spouse or a friend into six nights of racing together, you can. If you want to get six people into the races on the same night, you can. You can even use the whole pass up on just one night, getting twelve people into just one race. Also, if on the final regular night of racing, you have three punches left on your pass, you can get three people into that nights show so you won't lose out on the money that you paid for the pass.
If you like the idea of this pass and you would like to purchase one, call Debbie at 969-6969. If she doesn't answer, leave a voicemail and she will get back to you!

2014 Fall Releases:Suncook—(not this year) North Br P'cat—Oct 11 8amLittle Suncook—Oct 18 8amLower P'cat—Oct 25 9am
National River Cleanup Week is coming soon. Please join us on Tuesday June 10th on the Souhegan River.
Help us clean the putins, takeouts, surrounding woods, road, and parking areas.
Bring gloves, bug spray, drinking water, and wear appropriate footwear and clothing for walking in the woods. This is rain or shine, so rain apparel might be needed. If someone could bring a wheelbarrow, it would be greatly appreciated. George will provide event trash bags, arrange for removal of the collected trash and get us permission to park at Horseshoe Falls if necessary.If time allows and equipment is provided, we could attempt to remove a tree when we are done.Meet at the upper put in at 8am-or later. Anyone willing to put any amount of time into this will be appreciated.
The NH Department of Environmental Services has again this year agreed to do a release on the Winnipesaukee River the weekend of June 14-15.
We encourage all paddlers to participate. The more interest there is the more likely the state will be open to future regular releases.
This will be on both the upper [class I/II] section and lower [class III] sections. The release is scheduled to be 1000 cfs
Additionally, there will be a NESS WW race in the town of Tilton on the upper section of the river.
Join us for the 2013 MVP Family Weekend Trip to West Forks, Maine August 8-10. Paddling opportunites on the Dead and Kennebec rivers. We'll have all the rafts, duckies, and other fun club boats there as well.
This weekend has the to get family members out (in a raft or other inflatable) on the river at a moderate flow; to help people stepping up from class 2 to cl 3 out on a river at a level that allows the experienced boater to have a lot of fun and still not be too intimidating for the paddlers stepping up..
We will "organize" ourselves about 8AM (Saturday) at Webb's. We should be departing 9'ish for the river. Anyone wishing to take Webb's shuttle instead of driving should go to Appleton's about 8:30am. Reservations are not needed (cost $18 per canoe/kayak and paddler).
Sunday there is an early-morning Kennebec "Fish Flow". Release level is 500cfs (mostly class II/II+ with one class III spot). It's afund run, mostly rock gardens and nice surfing. The gorge is beautiful at that leve. It also allows you to see what causes the bigger features on the river at higher levels.Leaving Webb's at 7am; plan on being shuttled and on the river by 8am. Jump out a the bottom of the gorge to shuttle back up to the put-in for the 10am regular release.

Derby question: has Uncle Mo lost his mojo?
The road to Kentucky Derby 137 started off fairly smoothly, but has been notable over the past two weeks for its potholes and unexpected turns.
But no event on the road to the first Saturday in May at Churchill Downs has been quite as jarring as the result of last week's Wood Memorial at Aqueduct, which left a single question on the lips of Derby fans of all types:
Has Uncle Mo lost his mojo?
Given his domination of his rivals in his first four races, Uncle Mo seemed to have what appeared to be a group of overmatched foes in his first race at 1 1/8 miles at his mercy as he cruised on the lead under John Velazquez in very easy fractions. When the field turned for home, the racing world waited for Uncle Mo to kick clear of the field and validate his status as one of the heaviest favorites for the Kentucky Derby in recent memory.
But he didn't.
Mike Repole's previously unbeaten champion, never challenged at any point in his first four races, found himself in a fight on this day – and he would not be up to the challenger.
Two beat him!
Not only was Uncle Mo passed by the unheralded Arthur's Tale in deep stretch, he was passed again by Toby's Corner, who got up to win the Wood in a finish that, for many, called to mind the shocking upset loss by Secretariat in the same race before he launched his mythic Triple Crown run in 1973.
It was a jarring result for racing fans who were dreaming not only that Uncle Mo would win the Derby, but might have the right stuff to win the first Triple Crown since Affirmed's sweep in 1978.
Assuming that all goes well in the blood work scheduled for Uncle Mo as this column went to press, trainer Todd Pletcher's main Kentucky Derby hope will travel to Churchill Downs on April 18 to continue his training for the Run for the Roses. He remains a major contender for the Kentucky Derby, but it's unlikely that he will be favored.
The Factor favored?
That role will likely be filled either by trainer Bob Baffert's The Factor, who could be the Derby choice if he runs a big one in Saturday's $1 million Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn Park, or the Nick Zito-trained Dialed In, who won last week's $1 million Florida Derby with a last-to-first rally that has lots of people thinking about how much he'll love the 1,234 1/2-foot homestretch beneath the Twin Spires.
For some bettors, the loss by Uncle Mo was disappointing because they wanted to bet against a huge favorite on Derby Day. They were hoping that was the performance he would turn in on the big day, not in his final prep for the Derby.
Not suited?
It's impossible to assess exactly where the reigning champion fits in the Derby picture right now. For those who were suspect about his abilities, the fade in the stretch seemed to confirm that he might not be suited to 1 1/4 miles on Derby Day.
But there are also positive aspects buried in his first loss. Although he faded to third, he still ran his final eighth of a mile in 12.80 seconds – which is not great, but not horrible. If Pletcher did not quite have the screws tightened on Uncle Mo, he should actually benefit from the race in terms of experience and conditioning.
Wood winner better?
And there is also the chance that Wood winner Toby's Corner is a much better horse than most people realize. I fall into that group. I'm not ready to put him in the Derby winner's circle, but his win in the Whirlaway at Aqueduct was impressive, and it was followed by a third to Stay Thirsty, Uncle Mo's stablemate, in the Gotham. Trainer Graham Motion added blinkers to Toby's Corner's equipment for the Wood, a change that tends to focus a horse's attention and is one of the most significant changes a trainer can make, and the colt overcame substantial traffic problems to win Saturday's race.
Win for daddy?
Toby's Corner is a son of Bellamy Road, who dazzled the racing world with a 17 1/2-length win in the 2005 Wood before he flopped as the favorite with a seventh-place finish in the Derby won by 50-1 shot Giacomo. To me, he's one of the most interesting longshots in a suddenly wide open race, and might be the horse to make up for his father's Derby disappointment.
Bottom line: it's too early to be sure that Uncle Mo won't find his mojo before Derby Day.
Impressive filly
The most impressive performance by a 3-year-old last weekend was, in my view, turned in by a filly. Fox Hill Farm's Joyful Victory defeated a small field of three rivals in the Fantasy Stakes at Oaklawn Park, but she did it with ease and now has a pair of lopsided wins in as many starts this spring.
All winter long I believed a gray daughter of Tapit would win the Kentucky Oaks. That filly was Dancinginherdreams, who was last in Keeneland's Ashland last Saturday and is clearly going the wrong way. But the other gray daughter of Tapit, Joyful Victory, is clearly getting better as each day passes on the road to the Kentucky Oaks.
She is trained by Hopkinsville, Ky., native J. Larry Jones, who won the Oaks in 2008 with Proud Spell, and saddled Fox Hill's ill-fated filly Eight Belles to finish second to Big Brown 24 hours later in the Derby.
Back on job
Jones, back on the job after a year-long sabbatical, is clearly impressed with his latest star and compared her after Sunday's win to Eight Belles, who is quite likely the best horse he has trained.
"It is uncanny how much she's like Eight Belles, and it's more than just because they are both grays," Jones said. "I was looking at her the other day and I said I know she was born the year she died, but it's almost like she consumed her. It's like she's come back."
Don't expect a Derby bid by Joyful Victory, but she is looking more like the filly to beat in a wide open Kentucky Oaks picture. But continued progress from her two spectacular runs this spring could put her in the running to be not only the best filly in this 3-year-old crop, but perhaps the best 3-year-old – period.

So, sexy back, my shoulder routine currently is about 15 sets.
db presses
db laterals
cable raises
front raises
rear delt raises (going to switch these out for face pulls)
Now, I basically go for 2 exercises for each part of the shoulder, but in your article you say front raises really aren't necessary, I also think this. I do DB presses+ chest work on another day, that should be adequate, correct? Would it be best to take those front raises out and replace them with another rear delt movement, so I have 1 front movement, 2 side movements, 2 rear delt movements? I don't think my front delts are lagging at all, so I question the necessity of front raises.

Economist Debates adapt the Oxford style of debating to an online forum. The format was made famous by the 186-year-old Oxford Union and has been practised by heads of state, prominent intellectuals and galvanising figures from across the cultural spectrum. It revolves around an assertion that is defended on one side (the "proposer") and assailed on another (the "opposition") in a contest hosted and overseen by a moderator. Each side has three chances to persuade readers: opening, rebuttal and closing.
In Economist Debates, proposer and opposition each consist of a single speaker, experts in the issue at hand. We also invite featured guests to comment on the debate, not to take sides, but to provide context and informed perspective on the subject.
Those attending an Oxford-style debate participate in two ways: by voting to determine the debate's winner and by addressing comments to the moderator. The same holds here. As a reader, you are encouraged to vote. As long as the debate is open, you may change your vote as many times as you change your mind. And you are encouraged to air your own views by sending comments to the moderator. These should be relevant to the motion, the speakers' statements or the observations of featured guests. And they must be addressed directly to the moderator, who will single out the most compelling for discussion by the speakers.HOW OXFORD STYLE DEBATES WORK
What do you think?
Voting at a glance
Representing the sides
Women belong in the workplace. It is right for families, communities, the economy and, most importantly, for women so that they can live to their full potential as productive and self-reliant individuals.
Women do not have an assigned place. In free societies, they choose where they wish to be. For at least 5m women in America, that happens to be in the home as full-time mothers. What is wrong with that?
About this debate
Nearly two-thirds of women in rich countries now have paid jobs, not far off the proportion for men, compared with under half only a few decades ago. This house believes this to be a good thing all round: for the national economies concerned, because it provides extra labour as working populations in many countries are beginning to age and shrink; for employers, because they are able to draw on a much larger and more diverse pool of talent; and for women themselves, because they now enjoy a wider choice of careers and more financial independence at a time when many marriages end in divorce. But more remains to be done. The pay gap between women and men for comparable work remains substantial, and women in top positions in any field are still relatively rare. For women to get the most out of work, and workplaces to get the most out of women, it needs to become easier for them to combine work and family. This will involve a change in men's attitudes too.

AUSTIN – A bill by Rep. Harvey Hilderbran (Kerrville) would promote small business development in Texas by permanently extending the franchise tax exemption for companies that earn less than $1 million a year.
"This bill is about protecting small businesses, because they are responsible for creating the vast majority of new jobs in the state," Hilderbran said. "Small businesses are the lifeblood of our economy, and freedom from over-taxation will encourage more business growth and further economic development for the state."
Nearly 40,000 small businesses across the state benefit from the exemption, which the Texas Legislature approved in 2009. However, the current exemption is set to expire in January 2012 for businesses earning more than $600,000 a year.
"Our positive business climate and sound fiscal policies, including the franchise tax exemption for small businesses, has helped shield Texas from the worst part of the economic storm that hit the nation last year," Hilderbran said. "As a result, Texas consistently places high on rankings of the best state for small businesses."
The U.S. Department of Commerce reported that, in 2010, Texas created more jobs than any other state in the nation, and that it achieved a job growth rate almost double that of any other top ten state. The Wall Street Journal credited the state's low taxes and employer-friendly environment with helping make Texas the "job creation capital" of the nation.
Newsweek described Texas as the top destination for job-seeking Americans, and just last year the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Council ranked Texas as one of the best states for small businesses.
"Texas continues to out-perform its neighbors because of strong, proven economic policies such as the franchise tax exemption for small businesses," Hilderbran said. "Establishing this exemption as one that is permanent will help keep Texas as the top."

We're baaaack!
Finally (after the death of my soundcard last week and the subsequent purachase of a new card which is SUPPOSED to be the successor to the card I had, but which has LESS features… grrrrrr!), we managed to hook up this week to catch up on all that has happened in both our lives over the last 6 weeks.
Shelton talks about India, the 4 day workshop in Brisbane, and the Creative Photo Workshop world tour planned for 2010, including visiting Los Angeles for the PMA trade show in February.
Also, Bruce's photography career is slowly ramping up.
Info on the Bruce Williams Photography 2010 calendars, and the 5MP/Shutters Inc New Year party.
And no, I still haven't forgotten about the HonlPhoto giveaway. In fact, this is discussed in the podcast. It may have to wait until the new year…. but it WILL happen!
Some recent listener feedback
Shutters Inc
Firstly let me start with reference to something that Bruce had mentioned, I think in episode 137.
You were quite concerned with the audio quality that you were able to present to listeners from the portable recorder used at Echuca, the audio on that episode was fine.
I have recently dabbled with other podcasts, and have since canceled all of the downloads except Shutters Inc.
Bruce the quality of the audio delivered by you leaves all others far behind, keep up the good work.
Thanks for the great pod casts not only in the information passed on but also the technical quality.
Mark Chapman
Sine Language
Bruce, I can only say, in my opinion, that the services you are providing are greatly appreciated.
Building the pod
I've only recently decided to get back into music production after a prolonged absence.
So, when it came to choosing a DAW, it came down to a choice between FL Studio and Audition.
Dollar wise, quite similar although FL Studio does offer more in the way of virtual instruments for this price range.
But I chose Audition for two clear reasons.
1. I really like the look and feel. The layout is just easy on the eye and made sense to me very quickly.
2. I knew I had a great teacher. I discovered Building the Pod through the Adobe web site and soon found Sine Language.
I have to thank you sincerely for your weekly tuition.
It has turned a somewhat severe learning curve into managable bite size pieces.
I simply can't overstate how thankful I am of your weekly podcasts.
Bye for now.

Tax season is upon us, and we all are happy to discover additional deductions that we qualify for. Did you know that your Best Bath shower may be tax deductible? If you are purchasing an ADA compliant shower out of medical necessity, it may be considered a tax deductible expense. It is also not necessary that you own your home; renters may be eligible, as well.
According to the IRS website:
"You can include medical expense amounts you pay for special equipment installed in a home, or for improvements, if their main purpose is medical care for you, your spouse, or your dependent. The cost of the permanent improvements that increase the value of your property may be partly included as a medical expense. The cost of the improvement is reduced by the increase in the value of your property. The difference is a medical expense. If the value of the property is not increased by the improvement, the entire cost is included as a medical expense."
Of course, we recommend you keep all receipts and contact your tax professional to see if you qualify for this or other tax exemptions. And you may need to have an appraiser assess any change in your home's value. But it could be worth it – if you need to make a home modification out of medical necessity, you may be one of millions of Americans who qualify for the type of deduction described above, saving you a significant amount of money in the end.
One of the most beneficial home modifications for your home–and your safety–is installing a low-threshold walk-in or roll-in shower. A barrier free shower is particularly important because it is ADA-compliant and is specifically designed to help those with limited or handicapped mobility. Some Best Bath units have beveled thresholds less than 2 1/4″ high to allow for wheelchair access, if needed. As with many other Best Bath shower or walk-in tub units, barrier-free showers can be personalized according to your needs and can be custom-colored to match your home's decor.
Simply being informed may save you hundreds of dollars. Contact us today for more information about a possible tax exemption for a Best Bath barrier-free shower or walk-in tub.
