Hello people. First of all, what a great website / forum Truely, this is the best place to go on the internet if your having hairproblems. No doubt.
That aside, I'm of coarse not happy to find my hairline receding at this age. At this point, it's only the temples or front area that are problematic. Up untill recently I've always been able to hide my high forhead well with my long hair. It has grown thinner since last year however, and I'm not happy about it as you can imagine.
I still have my long hair. In fact, it's longer than ever and I like it a lot. At least, on the days it falls well. I always had to correct my hair a couple of times by "brushing" my hands through it (no mather the lenght) but as years went by I had to do it more often, whereas now I basically do it al day long (say, once every 10 minutes). It's not really frustating me, but it could be better, and yet it's looking like it'll be a lot worse.
I have some bad photos here I posted on a dutch forum a month or so back (I'm from the Netherlands) which I'll upload here. The angles might be bad, and I have made new pictures but I can't upload them to the pc yet, cause I'm using my parent's pc for the time being.
Top of my hair:
The haircut itself:
Front view (tightly pulled back):
Left side recesion:
Right side recesion:
Front view (loosely pulled back):
Family history: on my mother's side yeah. Both grandparents from mother's side had male patterned baldness. Though my grandma had it cause she had a hormonal imbalance, don't know if it counts. My grandpa on mother's side I never knew personally. Uncle from mother's side is about a NW4 to 5 in his mid fifties.
No history of hairloss in my father's side of the family. Maybe a bit of age related recesion. My father himself has mild recesion as well, and has a similair hairline like me (though he's 48 now) but might be losing it later on top as well (looks thin, though it hasn't got worse in years).
For further information, here is a picture from when I was 15. Believe it or not, this was my teenage hairline (censured my whole face here cause it was a horrible picture besides the hairline, believe me):
Might be difficult to see, but it's there nonetheless. Was I already going bald when I was 15?- is what I asked myself when I saw this picture. As far as I know, I always had problems styling my hair.
Anyways, here is me at 12 (has anyone ever had thinning hair since their 12th? Eyes centured here as well, as the only thing they show was "I play too much Nintendo"): http://img16.imageshack.us/i/naamloosbg.jpg/
So I'm really curious what you guys think?
Currently, I am taking Finasteride daily. And even Dutasteride 2 times a week. 5% Kirkland minoxidil in the morning and night, and Saw Palmetto in the night or just after working out (dunno why really, is there more DHT in your blood after excercising???). I drink green tea all day, and try to eat loads of protein.
Also, I want to say that everyone who's fighting against hairloss here should keep it up! We might be the first generation to keep our hair intact! Survive, cause we got a story to tell our childeren and grandchilderen!
EDIT: I see the images are not working. I'm removing the [ img ] tags now, so I'm sorry you guys will have to click the link to see my pictures.

4 places you should never swipe a debit card
Don't Waste Your Money
A new report finds that almost half of Americans fell victim to a credit breach over the past year.
Most of them had their credit card numbers exposed at Target, Michaels Stores, eBay or other retailers that were hacked.
But if you think a debit card would be a safer option after all this, think again.
While debit cards don't hit you with high fees, they are much riskier than credit cards because they provide a door into your bank account.
The personal finance website Bankrate.com says thieves are installing card skimmers in more and more places, and if they skim your number, they get your money, immediately.
So Bankrate says don't use a debit card at:
-Free standing ATMs, that are not part of a bank: there's too much risk of a skimmer installed on it.
-Gas pumps, which are also easy targets for thieves with skimmers.
-Restaurants where the server takes your card from you.
-Online shopping, where you can't be sure who may have access to your card.
Doesn't that Stink
And from the "doesn't that stink" file, what can happen if your debit card is breached.
Thieves will take the money right out from your account.
You then have to wait for a fraud investigation to be completed to get your money back, which can take months.
Consumer Reports magazine recommends tying a debit card to a smaller checking account, not the main bank account you use for your mortgage, rent, or car payment.
That way you don't risk bouncing any important payments, and you don't waste your money.

What did you do about balancing the tire?
Absolutely nothing. Never had to balance one . If I had a definite wobble or gyration I might concider it. So far so good.
I've really never noticed any vibration whether the tires were balanced or not. Couldn't tell any difference. But it sounds good!Bare
Was time to tighten the chain one notch. Came to realize I've actually grown to like the snails. Cleaned and greased. Adjusted brake. Made a test ride, then a longer ride. Just another good day.

The Westbury collection by Klaussner Essentials receives its design inspirations from modern and 1960s contemporary design. These designs are a fresh interpretation for those who experienced the 1960s; slim, tapered edges, asymmetrical divisions and scaling is definitely 2012. Theres a teasing quality in the design of the Westbury collection. Almost everything in these designs is clean, spare and unexpected. Asymmetry rules and our eyes are easily fooled. Space is unevenly divided on vertical and horizontal planes and its always interesting. But even with crisp, linear edges there is flow between the different areas of each piece. The teasing concave curves on moldings, tapered legs and a dresser or bed that seems to float on its base conveys the movement that captures attention.

text: The truth about the North Korean space launch Technology 19 December 12 by Brian Weeden Shutterstock Last week, North Korea finally managed to put an object into orbit around the Earth after 14 years of trying. The event was greeted with hysterical headlines, about how the whole thing was a likely a missile test and most certainly a failure of Western intelligence. Most of those headlines were completely wrong.There are many questions yet to be answered about this launch and what it means. Some of them will take weeks or months to determine, others may never be answered satisfactorily. But there's enough information already in the public domain to answer basic questions about the launch. News flash: most of the initial reports about it were total misfires.Was This a Ballistic Missile Test or a Satellite Launch?Some of the same technologies are needed for long-range missiles and for space launches -- most notably rocket motors, high strength-to-weight fuselages, and guidance software. But they're not the same thing. All evidence points to a satellite launch, despite headlines like these.The goal of a space launch vehicle is to insert payloads into orbit and to do so they must perform two functions. They must first lift a payload to a desired altitude above the Earth and then give that payload enough forward speed to remain in orbit at that altitude. The final speed required for this is determined by the altitude and pull of the Earth's gravity. With enough speed, the payload moves forward equal to the distance it is pulled towards the Earth by gravity. It moves in an ellipse around the Earth, continually falling towards the Earth but missing ("free fall").Ballistic missiles, on the other hand, have a different goal. Their objective is to deliver a payload to another spot on the Earth. To do so, they need to accelerate the payload to a very high speed, although significantly slower than the space launch vehicle, and after separation from the rocket, the ballistic missile's payload follows an elliptical path through space similar to a satellite. However, the ballistic payload is not in orbit -- part of its elliptical path is inside the Earth's atmosphere. The payload coasts along its elliptical path and instead of "free-falling" around the planet, it re-enters the atmosphere and impacts a spot on the surface of the Earth.From a practical perspective, these different goals result in significant differences in the flight profile of a space launch versus a ballistic missile launch. Look at the illustration of the North Korean launch compiled by Dr David Wright. The green trajectory in this illustration is for a ballistic missile trajectory while the red and yellow trajectory is for a space launch trajectory. The most striking difference is in the altitude -- a long-range ballistic missile actually goes much higher into space than a typical space launch into low-Earth orbit (LEO), sometimes as high as 1,500 kilometres.Within these parameters, the North Korean rocket launch was most certainly a space launch and not a ballistic missile test. This can be verified by multiple sources before, during and after the launch. Prior to the launch, North Korea notified international agencies of the splashdown zones for the first two stages and the payload shroud, as is standard practice. These splashdown zones corresponded to a space launch trajectory, indicating beforehand that the North Koreans planned to try and place a satellite into orbit. During the launch, heat from the rocket was picked up by constellations of US military infrared satellites in orbit. Tracking of the burn phase of the launch by those satellites allows the US to verify that it was on a space launch trajectory. After the launch, remnants of the first stage were recovered in the pre-announced splash zone by the South Korean Navy.Was the Test Illegal Under International Law? The most like answer is yes, but it is not likely enforceable. Although all countries do have the right to pursue peaceful exploration and use of outer space, that right is subject to international law. The United Nations Security Council has adopted two resolutions -- 1718 and 1874 -- demanding the North Korea refrain from further launches using ballistic missile activity. And those resolutions are binding under international law on countries that are members of the UN. What's less clear is whether the international community has the tools to enforce these UNSC resolutions.UNSC Resolution 1718, adopted on 14 October 2006, levied sanctions on North Korea as a result of their test of a nuclear weapon earlier that month. Contained within the text of the resolution is a demand that North Korea cease testing and development of its ballistic missile programme. UNSC Resolution 1874, adopted on 12 June 2009, implemented further sanctions on North Korea after their second test of a nuclear weapon in May 2009. It repeats many of the same prohibitions as Resolution 1718, including a demand that North Korea not conduct any launch using ballistic missile technology.North Korea's position is that it is simply exercising its rights to peaceful exploration and use of outer space in accordance with the rights given to all nations under Article I the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, to which it is a Party. However, the actual text of the Article is as follows:Outer space, including the moon and other celestial bodies, shall be free for exploration and use by all States without discrimination of any kind, on a basis of equality and in accordance with international law, and there shall be free access to all areas of celestial bodiesThe important piece is the phrase "in accordance with international law." UNSC Resolutions are considered binding international law on countries that are members of the UN. That includes North Korea.However, whether or not the launch was illegal is only part of the issue. The real crux is what can or will be done about it. North Korea is gambling that the punishment for violating international law is further sanctions, which it has shown it can withstand or manipulate to some degree. It is possible that the UNSC could authorise stronger measures, including direct military action by the United States or other countries, in additional UNSC resolutions. North Korea is betting that the gun it has pointed at South Korea's head, along with the existing commitments of the American military in Afghanistan and elsewhere, will deter a military response.Did the North Koreans Catch Everyone Napping? That's what you'd believe if you read reports like these. It's what you'd think if you learned that key Asian policy members of the Obama Administration were in the middle of a cocktail reception at the Japanese Ambassador's residence in Washington, DC, when the launch occurred. But the fact that the North Koreans were preparing to launch a rocket was of no surprise to anyone. It's only the specifics of the timing that may have caught some a little flat-footed. It's highly unlikely that people at the top levels of the US government and its key allies were surprised.That's because the launch window was fairly long, between 7am and noon local Korean time each day from 10 December to 22 December. This launch window is driven by the orbit that the satellite needs to be placed into. A satellite orbit is fixed in space relative to the Earth and so you need to wait until the Earth rotates under the desired orbital plane before you can launch. The length of the window each day is based on the desired precision of the final orbit, the performance of the booster, the weight of the payload, and a number of other factors.There is evidence that North Korea attempted a disinformation campaign that may have played a role in generating surprise. On 8 December, US intelligence satellites spotted a train carrying rocket components en route from a missile plant to the launch pad. On 9 December, North Korea stated that it had discovered a problem with the rocket and it was delaying the launch and extending the window by nearly a week. The next day, the South Korean government stated that there was "no sign" of an imminent launch and another report stated that the rocket had been removed from the pad. That last statement was provably false at the time -- analysis of imagery from commercial remote sensing satellites showed the rocket was still on the pad. However, the same imagery also indicated possible maintenance work on the rocket, leading to an assessment from a former US intelligence analyst that a launch was at least a week out.To take advantage of this disinformation campaign, it also appears that North Korea timed the launch to correspond to a significant gap in coverage of the launch site by imaging satellites. An analysis done by Marco Langbroek, a Dutch hobbyist satellite observer, shows that the launch occurred at the end of a one-hour gap with no coverage by any known American intelligence, Japanese intelligence, or commercial imaging satellites in LEO. Other portions of the launch window had at most fifteen minutes between satellite overflights. This is backed up by a quote from an unnamed US official, who said they relied too much on overhead satellite imagery for their warnings about the launch.Despite this, it is doubtful that the disinformation campaign was effective on everyone. As anyone in the imagery analysis field can tell you, LEO imagery satellites have their limitations. They exist in limited numbers, travel in predictable orbits, can only observe what's directly underneath them, and have a revisit time measured in many hours to days. It is relatively simple to either cease activities when they come overhead, or in some cases, to actually create a false situation on the ground for them to capture.However, these are not the only tools governments like the United States have at their disposal. While satellites in LEO only have limited viewing windows, satellites in other orbits can stare at specific locations for extended periods. Satellites in highly elliptical Earth orbits (HEO), often called Molniya after the Soviet satellites that were the first to widely use them, can hang over a specific part of the Earth for hours at a time as shown in illustration above. Three satellites spaced out in the same orbit can monitor a region continuously, with two in the upper part of the orbit on either side of apogee (red dot number 6 in gallery pic) and one in the lower part of the orbit swinging through perigee (red dot number 0 in gallery pic).The US has at least two infrared sensors in HEO orbits as part of the Space-Based Infrared System (SBIRS). Open source information indicates that they are hosted on two classified satellites, USA 184 and USA 200. The same satellites are also believed to carry a signals intelligence payload that can collect electromagnetic emissions. Observations from amateur satellite observers indicate that their orbits "hang" over Asia, indicating that they likely could have been used to monitor the launch site and observe the launch. An image seen below and right, released by the US military, is of one of the SBIRS payloads in HEO tracking a missile launch.In addition to the SBIRS payloads in HEO, the US has a number of satellites in geostationary Earth orbit (GEO), orbiting 36,00 kilometres (about 22,000 miles) above the Equator that likely provided critical data on the North Korean launch. These satellites orbit around the Earth at the same rate the Earth rotates, giving the impression that they are "fixed" relative to a particular spot on the Earth. In the case of the North Korean launch, the US satellites in GEO collection signals intelligence and electronic intelligence could have monitored the launch site for preparations and the infrared warning satellites would have detected the launch.The important issue in the case of North Korea is that very few people have access to the information from these satellites. They are considered critical to US national security and their very existence is highly classified, along with any intelligence products created from the data they collect. Additionally, they are often stovepiped into different sets of indicators with little integration between different sources, leading to the possibility of conflicting conclusions. These factors likely worked in the North Koreans' favour. Very few within the US government, and no one outside the US government with the possible exception of close allies, would have had access to the intelligence from these satellites. Most governments would have to rely on either declassified or sanitised intelligence or their own intelligence sources, and outside observers had to rely on the handful of commercial imaging satellites for information. It is this last group, along with lower-level government officials, that fell victim to the North Korean disinformation campaign, and the reliance on the media for quotes and information from these sources created the impression that the North Koreans had fooled everyone. Within the US government, top national security officials likely had access to data sources that were unaffected by North Korean disinformation. However, it is possible that different intelligence sources could have been driven conflicting conclusions, leading to disagreement over what the reality was. This may have played a role in catching some within the US government off guard. Read page 2 123 Read on one page Latest on wired.co.uk

May 31, 2016
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Two pivotal senators have announced a bipartisan deal on expanding background checks to more gun buyers. The agreement could build support for President Barack Obama's drive to curb firearms violence.
Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Republican Sen. Patrick Toomey of Pennsylvania said their agreement would help keep firearms from criminals and the mentally ill.
The checks would now apply to commercial sales, such as transactions at gun shows and online. The sales would have to be channeled through licensed firearms dealers, who would have to keep records of the transactions.
Manchin said that since the slayings of school children and educators in Newtown, Conn., both sides in the gun debate must find common ground. Toomey said he considers expanded background checks common sense, not gun control.

There's no denying the benefits of glycolic acid for the appearance of the skin. This powerful alpha hydroxy acid is capable of eliminating the protein bonds that are keeping the dull, damaged, uneven layer of skin on the outside of your complexion clinging to the healthier, brighter, smoother skin beneath it. Your body naturally sheds these cells, but if you have a skin condition like hyperpigmentation or have expression lines or wrinkles, your body's natural cellular turnover rate isn't fast enough to eliminate these problems.
Glytone Exfoliators are clinical-strength skin care products developed for dermatologists to dispense to their patients to assist with treatments at home. Now, you can obtain Glytone Exfoliators without visiting the office of a doctor, so that you can easily reap the benefits of the powerful, glycolic acid-based formulas that they contain. Unlike other glycolic acid products, Glytone Exfoliators contain free glycolic acid, meaning the ingredient is used in its pure form. This makes Glytone Exfoliators far more effective than products that contain glycolic complexes, which mix the acid with water, preservatives, alcohol and other ingredients.
Enjoy the benefits of glycolic acid in its pure form by selecting Glytone Exfoliators to add to your skin care regimen. The formulas contain free glycolic acid rather than glycolic complexes for unmatchable results.
Glytone Boost Mini Peel Gel allows you to enjoy the benefits of a safe chemical peel at home. The product contains 10.8% free glycolic acid, so it effectively removes a portion of the epidermis each time you use it. The mild formula can be used for all skin types without fear of irritation, yet it still radically resurfaces the complexion for results that you can see and feel.
The concentrated glycolic acid formula found in the Glytone Boost Mini Peel Gel makes the product the perfect follow-up to clinical chemical peels and can help extend their benefits, so you'll require less frequent treatments. The exfoliator is also perfect for those who have mild discoloration and expression lines that are not severe enough for clinical interventions. For those hesitant to try chemical peels because of the side effects of the treatments, the mini peel gel makes an excellent, safe alternative.
The effectiveness of the Glytone Boost Mini Peel Gel has earned it many accolades, including a Best of Beauty Award for "Best of Skin Care - Peel" from Allure magazine. The formula is intended for use two to three times per week, and its effects are amplified when it is combined with other Glytone glycolic acid skin care products. The gel comes in a 2-ounce bottle.

MCSO helps other officers capture suspect
Published: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 2:33 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 2:33 p.m.
A man wanted on several charges was arrested late Monday after Marion and Lake county officials became involved in a high speed pursuit that ended when the man's vehicle flipped several times after running over stop sticks.
Shortly after 11 p.m. Monday, Marion County Sheriff's Deputy Adam Rendall was alerted to a bulletin issued by the Leesburg Police Department about a driver, David Odel Housmer, 35, of Georgia, attempting to hit an LPD officer with a vehicle. The department also had probable cause to arrest Housmer for several offences, including battery on a law enforcement officer and driving on a license that was suspended or revoked.
Rendall saw Housmer's red Ford Bronco speeding in the 12200 block of County Road 25 and gave chase, with his patrol vehicle's lights and sirens activated. The chase also was joined by another patrol deputy. As the chase headed south, the Lake County Sheriff's Office was notified and deputies from that agency set up stop sticks.
As the Bronco crossed into Lake County, it went over the stop sticks and Housmer lost control. The vehicle rolled over several times before landing on its roof at the side of the road.
Housmer and a female passenger were removed from the vehicle by law enforcement officials. They both complained of minor aches and pains.
Housmer was arrested by the Lake County authorities.

I thought I would start with one of our brightest outlook spots.
Assuming our starting rotation remains healthy (a huge assumption), our swingmen (or fill-in starter) will be Morales and maybe Mortensen or Tazawa or even de la Rosa later in the year.
A big decision will have to be made on Tazawa. He may be one of our best pitchers, but since he has options, he may end up in AAA to start the season if everyone is healthy. I am going to assume this is the case.
Assuming Tazawa starts in AAA, that leaves Mortensen out in the cold, unless someone is hurt or we get creative with the DL or rehab assignments. A 2 for 1 trade might be called for to make room for a better player somewhere. That leaves this for our 7 man pen:
Closer: Hanrahan
Set-up: Bailey (back-up closer)
Set-up: Uehara (7th/8th inning)
(Others: Mortensen, Tazawa, Bard, Carpenter, Wilson, Beato, de la Torre)
Bullpens are hard to project, but this one looks pretty good on paper.

CAIRO - Police presence around the U.S. Embassy here remained high Sunday as more than 20 U.S. embassies and consulates across the region closed and a worldwide travel alert remained in effect because of a terrorist threat.
The travel alert, effective until the end of the month, warned U.S. citizens that al-Qaeda and affiliated groups continue to plan terrorist attacks particularly in the Middle East and North Africa. Meanwhile, international police agency Interpol issued a global security alert on Saturday advising increased vigilance after a series of prison breaks with suspected al-Qaeda involvement in countries including Iraq, Pakistan and Libya.
"We may be seeing an effort, a trend, of al-Qaeda trying to announce its relevance, trying to show the world it's still in the game," said Frederic Wehrey, a senior associate in the Middle East Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. "And some sort of spectacular attack on a U.S. facility would certainly do that."
Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., said Sunday the weekend closures were the result of the "most serious threat" he'd seen in recent years. Chambliss told NBC's Meet the Press that the intelligence was "very reminiscent of what we saw pre-9/11."
Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger, D-Md., told ABC's This Week on Sunday that the threat intercepted from "high-level people in al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula" was about a "major attack."
This week marks the 15th anniversary of terrorist attacks on U.S embassies in Nairobi, Kenya and Tanzania that killed hundreds of people.
On Saturday, top U.S. security advisers including FBI, CIA and National Security Agency directors, Secretary of State John Kerry, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel and Gen. Martin Dempsey - the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff - met to review the threat.
"Early this week, the president instructed his national security team to take all appropriate steps to protect the American people in light of a potential threat occurring in or emanating from the Arabian Peninsula," the White House said in a statement.
National Security adviser Susan Rice chaired the team's meeting Saturday afternoon to further review the situation and discuss follow-up actions, the statement said.
Dempsey, in a Friday interview with ABC News, said officials determined "a significant threat stream" and found the "intent is to attack Western, not just U.S. interests."
France, Germany and the United Kingdom also closed their embassies in Yemen on Sunday, the start of the work week in the region.
Seth Jones, associate director of the International Security and Defense Policy Center at the RAND Corp., said he suspects the U.S. embassy closings are tied to active plotting against multiple locations and concern over a high threat level based on credible intelligence.
"It's easier (for al-Qaeda) to target a U.S. embassy in the region where it has now, in several areas, a growing presence, or allies and affiliates that have a growing presence, than it is to try to get operatives to go to the U.S. homeland to conduct attacks," Jones said.
The wide-scale embassy closings may also reflect that the U.S. diplomatic corps and State Department have less tolerance for uncertainty, analysts said. U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens and three other Americans died in an attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11.
"In the wake of the Benghazi attack they're just not going to take any chances," said Wehrey, an expert on security in the region.
Last year's violence in Libya occurred alongside an attack on Cairo's U.S. Embassy as protesters scaled the compound's walls and took down the American flag.
Egyptian security forces at the time did little, if anything, to halt the attack. But soon after the violence, authorities built massive, concrete-block walls to secure roads leading to the compound and boosted other security measures.
On Sunday, those blocks remained in place and many police were standing by, although shop owners in the embassy area said there were no visible signs of an increased security presence.
"It's exactly like it is every day," said Ahmed Fathy, who owns a pharmacy across the street from the embassy.

Retired tennis baller Tim Henman participated in the controversial Olympic torch relay this past Sunday in London, where some of the crowd protesting against China's human rights records attempted to grab and extinguish the flame.
In his typically understated English manner Tim, who had to be surrounded by security, told the Associated Press,
"There was definitely a bit of an edge."Yeah - having throngs of angry, pissed-off protesters lunging at you while trying to keep a toothy smile on your face would make for a pretty edgy afternoon, and then some. Ya think?

Building a culture of evidence for community college student success: Early progress in the Achieving the Dream initiative
Short Description:
This report, a coproduction of MDRC and the Community College Research Center (CCRC) at Columbia University's Teachers College, describes Achieving the Dream's attempt to build a "culture of evidence" at the first 27 community colleges that joined the Building a Culture of Evidence initiative.
This report, a coproduction of MDRC and the Community College Research Center (CCRC) at Columbia University's Teachers College, describes Achieving the Dream's attempt to build a "culture of evidence" at the first 27 community colleges that joined the Building a Culture of Evidence initiative. After little more than a year, every college has made some progress toward that goal; many have developed new programs for struggling students; and six colleges already show signs of institutionalizing evidence-based decision-making and planning.

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- From Main Street to Wall Street, it seems there's no avoiding the Fiscal Cliff. If you were lucky enough to make some good stock bets, then it could pay to take your profits now, if you need the money.
Investors will see the tax rate on capital gains rising if we go over the Cliff and that could mean a lot of money out of your pocket.
Here's a scenario to consider:
Let's say you bought 1,000 shares of a Wall Street winner. You saw your $5,000 investment turn into a $15,000 pot of gold as of now -- like in the case of a stock like Pulte Homes this year. What do you do?
Sell now and you get a $10,000 profit, minus 15 percent capital gains. That works out to be $1,500 in taxes.
What if you wait and we go off the fiscal cliff? You will now pay 20 percent capital gains on the investment -- or $2000.
If your household income is over $250,000 a year, then your cap gains rate jumps to 23.8 percent. That means you will now pay $2,300.
Here's the bottom line: Sell now -- and walk away with a $8,500 check. Sell down the road and your profits could be significantly reduced.
That's just one dilema facing some investors right now. Another potential problem for investors relates to 401K funds. Congress is currently considering some changes that could limit your contributions, tax more of your profits or even do away with 401ks altogether. That could impact a lot of people.
Currently, 61 million Americans use these investment vehicles to save for the future.

Letters to the Editor: East Rockaway, Lynbrook
< Previous page 1 2 3 4
(Page 4 of 4)
The Democratic caucus will have boxed us into a desperate situation. I urge Abrahams and the Democratic minority to urgently reconsider their dangerous course. Tell them to stop playing political games with our quality of life, environment and safety. They must vote to fully fund this critical infrastructure without further delay.
Howard J. Kopel
County legislator, District 7
A invitation to rally
To the Editor:
On behalf of The11518, I wanted to thank you for the coverage last week of our upcoming Aug. 31 rally at the Kevin E. McNulty Park in East Rockaway ("Rallying to help storm victims"). We truly appreciated the article.
We are a civic organization made up of East Rockaway and Bay Park residents who organized in the wake of the terrible destruction caused by Hurricane Sandy some 10 months ago. Our goal for this rally is simply raise awareness that residents in our community still need help.
Many neighbors are still not back in their homes, our schools suffered tremendous damage, and we listen to the hum of the Bay Park Sewage Plant generators every single day. We have partnered with Friends of Long Island to share and pass on information. We plan to be in this for the long haul — or at least until the last resident is able to come home to a habitable residence.
On Saturday. from noon to 2 p.m., we hope to project this message of awareness and understanding that our fellow residents are still suffering and still need help. We hope to see you there!

Triad -- It seems like we've had plenty of April showers. It just hasn't been enough to bring us up to our monthly average. We are currently 0.57" ahead for 2013 but -1.20" for the month of April.
We could very well catch back up over the next two days.
An upper level low pressure system is making slow progress to the east. It will dominate our weather from now through Monday.
Clouds stick around tonight and rain makes it's way into the Piedmont. There is a good chance of showers by the time you wake up on Sunday morning. From then on, there could be rain at any time on Sunday. The best chance is in the afternoon. Highs will be cool and only in the low 60s.
The system will still be marching across the state on Monday. That means more rain is in store as we go back to work and school. By the time it moves out late on Monday, we could pick up 1-1.5" of rain.
The rain chances go down for Tuesday and Wednesday and temperatures will go back up to the 70s by then.
