What are you most proud of? Most of the points came out well :)! This quilt was beautifully quilted by Lillian Lee of Laguna Hills, CA.
What advice would you give someone starting this project? I changed up the pattern a little bit using Eleanor Burns flying geese templates - there was a lot less waste in making the FG and the quilt came out a little larger since you can only make her geese certain sizes. However, next time I would use this method for making the geese which is found here: http://thelastpiece.typepad.com/the_last_piece/2009/05/flying-geese-tutorial-1.html . There is still very little waste but I think there is less trimming to do. There is also a very cool ruler called the Wing Clipper which helps trim up FG perfectly!
A beautiful quilt!!! Lovely colors! It would be delightful to cuddle up under on a chilly evening by the fireplace! (Skip the cocoa tho, wouldn't want to spill on that lovely white background!!) :)
Love this quilt, and all your work. I am drawn to traditional patterns myself.

When I researched locales for LuckyWheel and time zones for MyAppSales I discovered that Apple had outfitted my iPhone with a complete database of all timezones worldwide as well as methods that would return the next DST switching time. Back then I thought "that would be a cool feature" and found it strange that there is nothing like this in the regular iPhone UI to actually access this data.
Do you know the feeling that you have an app stuck in your head that wants to get out? You'll know what I am talking about if you have an idea that frequently comes into your mind because you have not acted on it. There are three ways to deal with such ideas:
- look up your local locale and down enough alcoholic beverages to destroy those few synapses that kept bothering you.
- use a notepad (or notepod) to jot down the idea and draw some sketches off the pictures that float around in your head. To the idea this will feel like validation and it will stop vying for your attention.
- or if it can be done in a day, build the app!
I just had finished my work on the H1N1 Swineflu Defender app contract, so I had a couple of days of my spare time to spare for a quick app like that. And strangely enough this way just the perfect time right before the next DST switches for Europe and the USA to also capitalize on DST being a hot topic this time of year as everybody is searching on Wikipedia or Google for when the switch will actually occur.

text: The problem with fructose is it doesn't turn into JUST fat. There's a video that someone has posted in the past that's like an hour talking about just why sugar/fructose is so bad when compared to glucose. However it also talks about how in nature the only source of fructose comes with its own antidote in the form of fiber. Now that's not to say that binging on fruit is a just fine, but it is a whole lot better than juice or soda.

Forza Motorsport 3

- Forza Motorsport 3
- Manual transmission with clutch shifting...
Who thinks they should make forza 3 with a real manual transmission using the clutch. Like in the real world. Just thinking about it, forza is the real simulator, and adding this to the game would be a really good feature. Think about it, you should be able to burn the clutch if you dont know how to shift. The person who knows how to shift better wins. I hope they could add that.
so how on earth would you implement this on simple xbox controller???
The only way I could see this working is if they use the left trigger for controlling the clutch... so you would press the left trigger all the way in, change gears like you normally would using X or B and then release clutch and apply the gas accordingly... but then braking would suck on a non sensitive button.
I think it could work controller wise.
Have clutch on left-bumber and use the right stick as a shifter. 'A' could be handbrake.
It would be logical, you can shift and use handbrake at the same time.
pmroberts2005 8 years ago#4
Actually it would not be that hard Need for Speed pro street had it the game was terrible in my opinion but the clutch shift feature was great.
It could work. Just use the left trigger as the clutch, and make it as sensitive as in real life. Like if you release the clutch to early in 1st shift it could turn off. You know, make it like real life. Not like the one in pro street. Were it didn't make much of a difference. They should have it for the people that would like to use it, and just keep the other controls for the people who wont like it so they wont complain about it.
XGoofySnoopyX 8 years ago#6
i agree sound like a good idea. that would be really cool if i let out of the clutch to fast and the car died that would funny speicaly when your in drag and somebody does that
also i thank there should be like to where you could cruise in citys and mess with people when you punch it on take off. i just want to have a dang clutch in this game but you guys have some really good ideas
You can't put the clutch on the left trigger because then how are you going to brake? Please do not say "use the A button to accelerate and X to brake!" If you want to add realism, taking away the ability to use analog controls for the gas and brake is not the way to do it.
As for using LB to clutch, then you'd always have to brake with your middle finger, which will make it harder to control braking. Honestly, the only way a clutch should be implemented in this game is if they release a wheel like the G25 for the 360.
djfan22004 8 years ago#8
It would be a really awesome aspect to add to the game, but its just not practical with the current controller. As stated above me, the only practical way would if it was an option for when you had the wheel or something. As for using it as the LB, that kinda defeats the purpose considering there is more to using a clutch that immediately engaging and disengaging it. Just having a button to press really wouldn't make it any more realistic. I would be all for it if there was a practical way to implement it though.
One of the Dedicated 500 - #345, #401
Using the right stick to change gears sounds too complicated... I say just keep it set to X and B... it should work just fine with the clutch on the left trigger. But I'd hate having the brake set to A or any other less sensitive button/
xxsomeonexx 7 years ago#10
If they implement this into FM3 then left trigger can be clutch, right stick can be accelerate and brake, and right button and right trigger can be use to shift gear.

The car he was driving, a maroon 1988 Chevrolet Celebrity station wagon, struck a traffic island and slammed head-on into a traffic light pole. The driver was airlifted to Harborview Medical Center in critical condition and has been upgraded to stable condition.
Investigators are seeking help from anyone who may have witnessed the collision or the driver's actions before the collision. Investigators are also looking for the driver of a newer sport utility vehicle, possibly a white Ford Explorer, that was observed driving through the intersection at the time of the collision. It is believed the driver of the white SUV may have witnessed the accident and could offer information that would assist investigators.
Based on witness accounts, the Chevrolet station wagon was observed traveling northbound in the far right lane, which is a marked right-turn-only lane, as it approached the intersection of 214th Street SE. The station wagon continued traveling northbound at an estimated speed of about 50 to 60mph. The posted speed limit was 45mph. The vehicle drove up onto the traffic island and collided with the traffic light pole.
Witnesses said the station wagon did not appear to slow down prior to the collision. It is not known if alcohol or drugs was a contributing factor in this collision.
The collision is currently being investigated and witnesses are urged to call Bothell Police at (425) 486-1254.

This document offers a guide to the important
standards, recommended practices and reference works in the field
of the preservation and conservation of documents of all types.
It does not attempt to include all the publications for a particular
type of document - only the most important ones. The level of
authority of the publications varies. They range from de-facto
standards that are widely accepted by the practitioners in the
field to formal International Standards produced by the International
Standards Organisation (ISO). International cooperation
in standardisation work is generally coordinated by ISO which
defines itself as:
" - - a worldwide federation
of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of
preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject
for which a technical committee has been established has the right
to be represented on that committee. International organisations,
governmental and nongovernmental, in liaison with ISO,
also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (TEC) on all matters
of electrotechnical standardisation."
A standard can be used either as a guideline
or as a source of specifications. Standards by themselves, however,
are only an introduction to the subject. In the use of a standard
it is important that the user is familiar with the subject in
question, thus being able to relate the information and the circumstances
to each other. In particular, standards and other publications
must not be used as the sole source of information about conservation
techniques. Seek advice from experts and practitioners in the
field before trying to conserve any document. Much protection
can be offered by ensuring that documents are stored in appropriate
containers, are not subject to fluctuations of temperature and
relative humidity and are handled with care. Specialist treatment
is available for all types of document, from the most ancient
to the most recent, and professional advice should be sought from
appropriate museums, libraries and archives before undertaking
any work on them. Specific advice is also often available in
the standards quoted.
Standards are very important, but unfortunately
standards often become modified by users after some time which
can make the standard out-dated and even impede the easy exchange
of information. A good example of this are the Machine Readable
Cataloguing Formats (MARC) which are all based on the ISO 2709-1981
standard. However, many countries have developed their own national
version and this makes the exchange of bibliographic records more
difficult. Other examples include the many Document Type Definitions
(DTDs) which are based on the SGML standard.
The documents in the archives and libraries
of the world are indispensable sources for many scholarly disciplines.
They are also sources for more informal purposes: self-education,
entertainment and general interest. No evaluation of politics,
history, everyday life, music and performing arts would be possible
without these documents.
Information should be available to all people as freely and as easily as possible. Preservation of that information in all formats ensures access and should be pursued actively for that reason.
The safeguarding of all these documents
has until recently been primarily associated with the keeping
of books and other written materials. This is partly, perhaps,
because textual libraries have existed for more than 4000 years,
while audiovisual archives have been in existence for only
less than 100 years. The newest forms of document have been in
common existence for less than a decade. There are, however,
fundamental differences between the different types of documents.
Printed matter represents human thoughts
by the use of a stock of symbols. A certain amount of redundancy
is intrinsic in speech and writing. Letters, sometimes even words,
may be omitted without any real detriment to communication. Good
examples are the scripts of Semitic languages which generally
do not represent all vowels which are spoken. But still, even
complex texts like philosophical tracts can be communicated by
these languages.
In contrast, the audiovisual document
is an analogue representation of a physical status or event: every
part of such a document is information. While a speck of mould
in a book does not normally hamper the understanding of the text,
comparable damage on a photograph would cover up information,
and, on a magnetic tape, it could even render the tape unreadable.
Seen, therefore, from the perspective of redundancy, audiovisual
documents call for a higher degree of protection and security
than written materials. Digital data can also be similarly endangered.
The modern electronic documents are to
some extent insubstantial - many exist for part of the time only
as a pulse of energy (for example, E-Mail messages passed over
a telephone wire). They do, however, have certain safeguards built
into them to help ensure the safe and complete arrival and storage
of a message. They also have to be stored at some point on a physical
carrier for later access.
One factor that most, if not all documents,
have in common is their reliance on polymeric materials. The traditional
materials of paper, parchment, leather, palm leaves etc. are all
natural polymers. The newer media of tapes, discs and films rely
on man-made polymers such as PVC and polyester. The rate of chemical
de-composition of the various polymers varies greatly. Some will
last - and have lasted - for millennia; others may struggle to
survive for a decade.
All polymers decay. The decay cannot
be stopped - but it can be slowed down by careful handling and
favourable storage. It can also be greatly accelerated by careless
handling and poor storage. All the storage conditions given in
standards and other publications are for guidance. If the conditions
are met, the decay does not stop. The figures quoted for temperature
and humidity levels are a compromise between the rate of decay
on the one hand and the costs of maintaining the conditions, of
transfer and of conservation on the other. The conditions can
be relaxed but at the expense of more rapid decay.
Format of the Guide
The various types of documents covered
in this guide are divided into five groups:
Paper and Other Traditional Materials
Photographic and Micrographic Materials
Mechanical Carriers
Magnetic Materials
Optical Materials
There is an additional chapter covering
the particular problems of preserving Electronic Publications,
Electronic Documents and Virtual Information plus chapters giving
some general preservation information and a glossary.
The Paper and Other Traditional Materials
group include paper, parchment, leather and palm leaves. Seals
are also included in this group. This is the oldest and largest
group of documents.
The Photographic Materials group
include all types of still photographic images - black and white
and colour; negative and positive; transparency and print - on
all types of carriers - paper, glass, cellulose and other materials
and includes micrographs of all types.
The Mechanical Carriers group
covers sound recordings on cylinders and discs.
The Magnetic Materials group include
all forms of magnetic material - tapes, hard discs and floppy
The Optical Materials group includes
all laser read and written materials including CD-Audio, CD-ROM,
CD-Recordable, magneto-optical disks and optical tape.
This guide is a compilation of contributions
from a number of people, each expert in the preservation of a
different type of document. Each field of expertise has developed
its own terminology and, while there are many terms shared by
all the disciplines, some are not. No attempt has been made to
harmonise the terms used and so you will find different terms
used in different chapters
but meaning the same thing eg. user copy and access copy.
You will also find places where the
topic has been covered in another chapter as well. Again, efforts
have not been made to avoid this. Many readers will wish to read
a chapter in isolation and this repetition will ensure that they
receive all the information necessary for the understanding of
the chapter.

A. Introduction This outline is a survey of recent developments in estate and trust administration, including changes in a number of North Carolina statutes that directly affect several areas of interest for the clients of both accountants and attorneys. Many of the techniques and changes outlined herein now provide valuable estate and tax planning opportunities previously unavailable in North Carolina. B. Trust Decanting 1. What is Decanting? Decanting is the term primarily used to describe the act of paying trust property from one trust to another under the trustee's discretionary power to make distributions to or for the benefit of one or more beneficiaries. Often this power to distribute trust corpus is called the power to invade a trust. With decanting, instead of exercising an invasion power by making payment directly to or for a beneficiary, a trustee can now pay the assets over to a new trust for the beneficiary. This power enables a trustee to address a variety of potential issues including favorable tax planning, changes to trust management, or state law issues. Finally, the most valuable benefit of trust decanting is its ability to make corrections or adjustments in an irrevocable trust setting. 2. History of Decanting Although a relatively new technique in most parts of the country, decanting originated in Florida in 1940 with the case of Phipps v. Palm Beach Trust Co., 196 So. 199 (Fl. 1940). From this case sprung a series of cases across many states which formed the basis of the body of law on modern day decanting. In many states, a form of decanting now exists under the state's common law. In addition, several states have codified the use of decanting with state specific decanting statutes. New York was the first to enact such a statute and currently eight other states have enacted decanting statutes including Alaska, Arizona, Delaware, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, South Dakota and Tennessee. There is no "Uniform Decanting Act" and each of these state statutes is different with regard to the powers and flexibility afforded the trustee. 3. Why use Decanting? Trust decanting can be used to address several issues that may present themselves during the life of a trust instrument. In addition, trust decanting is a process that, in many situations, may not require a judicial hearing or court approval, meaning less hassle and expense for the trust. The list below is a small sample of the many benefits and situations where trust decanting can prove valuable. a. Modernize or improve outdated trust provisions. Trust decanting allows a trustee to incorporate recent changes in the law by adding new Trustee authority or powers not previously available. b. Address Changed Circumstances. Quite often a client's view of the future never materializes as envisioned or an unanticipated series of events creates a situation much different from the client's original intention. In addition, many of these changes occur after a trust has become irrevocable and the client no longer has the ability to unilaterally amend the instrument. Trust decanting provides a valuable way to account for the unforeseen without the need for court approval. Some examples of unforeseen circumstances are: i. Disabled Beneficiaries. A beneficiary becomes disabled or has special needs. The Trustee could decant that specific beneficiary's portion into a supplemental needs trust to enable the beneficiary to avoid disqualification for federal or state government benefits. ii. Distributive Provisions. A Grantor may have set up a trust that is to distribute all trust corpus to a beneficiary at a set age or event, or perhaps in tiers at two or three different ages. If events later present themselves where that beneficiary, for whatever reason, shouldn't receive a large lump sum of assets upon such age or event, then the Trustee could decant such assets into another trust for the benefit of the same beneficiary, but with a later age distribution or even continuation for the lifetime of the beneficiary. iii. Creditor or Marital issues. Decanting allows a Trustee to make adjustments for unforeseen creditor or marital problems that could otherwise adversely affect the Grantor's intended use of the trust assets. The decanting power could also include the addition of spendthrift language in the trust. iv. Uneven wealth accumulation. Should one or more beneficiaries have accumulated assets to the point that they really don't 'need' the assistance the trust provides, the Trustee could use decanting to place the trust assets into another trust to provide greater benefit to those beneficiaries more in need. c. Change trust situs. If a trust presently does not allow a change in situs or place of administration, decanting can allow a Trustee to move a trust to another jurisdiction for administration. This might provide tax benefits if the new jurisdiction has more favorable tax laws. d. Tax issues. A Trustee may need to correct a Crummey power of withdrawal to qualify for the gift tax annual exclusion. A Trustee may need to make a trust a grantor trust for income tax purposes which would allow for the sale of appreciated assets by the Trust to the Grantor without the recognition of income. As noted above, another state's tax laws may be more beneficial and the Trustee would like to change trust situs to avail itself of these tax benefits. Finally, a Trustee can use decanting to fully maximize the GST exemptions of either the Grantor or a beneficiary. Planning Pointer: Be careful when using decanting to extend the term of GST exempt trusts. For "Grandfathered" (Pre 9/25/1985) GST trusts certain safe harbors must be met in order not to lose Grandfathered status. In addition, there are no current regulations that speak to the consequences of the extension of GST exempt trusts beyond the trust's original termination date. e. Correct Drafting Errors. Whether substantive or clerical in nature, a variety of drafting errors or omissions may not be discovered until after the trust is irrevocable. Trust decanting can correct these errors. f. Trustee or administrative changes. Trust decanting can allow for later alteration to Trustee administration provisions including the number of votes required to act among co-trustees or the order of successor trustees. 4. Decanting in North Carolina. The North Carolina Decanting Statute (An Act To Allow A Trustee To Appoint Trust Property To Another Trust For The Same Beneficiary) was signed into law by the Governor on July 17, 2009 and became effective on October 1, 2009. The North Carolina Decanting Statute can be found in N.C.G.S. §36C-8-816.1. At its core, the statute provides: A trustee of an original trust may, without authorization by the court, exercise the discretionary power to distribute principal or income to or for the benefit of one or more current beneficiaries of the original trust by appointing all or part of the principal or income of the original trust subject to the power in favor of a trustee of a second trust. The trustee of the original trust may exercise this power whether or not there is a current need to distribute principal or income under any standard provided in the terms of the original trust. The trustee's special power to appoint trust principal or income in further trust under this section includes the power to create the second trust.Key elements of the statute include: a. Discretion to invade. The Trustee must have the discretionary power to distribute assets to or for the benefit of one or more beneficiaries of the original trust. If so, the statute allows the special power to appoint trust principal or income to include creation and funding of a second trust. b. Same standards. If an ascertainable standard limited the Trustee's distributions from the initial trust, the same standards must also govern the second trust. Likewise a future beneficial interest in the original trust cannot be accelerated in the second trust. c. Like beneficiaries. The beneficiaries of the second trust must include only one or more of the beneficiaries of the original trust. No new beneficiaries are allowed in the second trust. d. Procedural elements i. Execute a Decanting Document ii. File the Decanting Document with original trust iii. Give notice to the Qualified Beneficiaries 1. Beneficiaries can waive notice 2. Beneficiaries can also petition the court for approval 5. Tax implications of Decanting a. Gift Tax. A Trustee's use of decanting should not cause gift tax concerns unless the Trustee is a beneficiary or beneficiary consent is required to exercise the trustee's power to decant. Planning Pointer: The biggest trap for an unintended gift tax consequence is the situation where the Trustee is also a beneficiary of the trust. Be mindful to use caution in such a situation. It is generally recommended that a Trustee who is also a beneficiary not participate in the decanting. In fact, the North Carolina decanting statute specifically does not allow a Trustee to exercise the decanting power if the Trustee is a beneficiary of the original trust. b. Estate Tax. Most cases of decanting should not have adverse estate tax consequences unless: i. The second trust provides the beneficiary with a general power of appointment causing the property to become subject to I.R.C. §2041. ii. There is an incomplete gift completed only upon the beneficiary's death. iii. The original Grantor is deemed to have too much involvement or implied control, thereby causing inclusion under I.R.C. §2038. c. Income Tax. In most cases a decanting of property from one trust to another will not raise income tax issues. In limited cases if the decanting results in a sale or exchange of property or if the sale or exchange results in materially different property held in the new trust, then income tax issues may arise. C. Repeal of North Carolina Rule Against Perpetuities 1. What is the Rule Against Perpetuities? The beginnings of the rule against perpetuities date back to historical England. Stripped to its most basic definition, the classical statement on the rule came from John Chipman Gray of Harvard Law School who stated: "No interest is good unless it must vest, if at all, not later than twenty-one years after some life in being at the creation of the interest." 2. Purpose of the Rule The rule has long been in place with the intent of limiting the power of an individual to control the disposition of one's assets long after the person's death. 3. Practical Application In practice, the rule has been one of the most complex, unintelligible and misunderstood rules in the law. In an effort to help ease the harsh results of the rule and to facilitate the creation of long-term trusts, North Carolina adopted the Uniform Statutory Rule Against Perpetuities (USRAP) in 1995 which provided for a 90-year wait-and-see look back period. However, despite the passage of USRAP, the push for a complete repeal of the rule in North Carolina remained in order to stay competitive with a number of other states which have completely repealed the rule. 4. Repeal of the Rule Against Perpetuitiesa. Law. On August 19, 2007, Governor Michael F. Easley signed into law House Bill 1384, Session Law 2007-390 which repealed both the original rule against perpetuities and the USRAP as they apply to North Carolina trusts. This law is now N.C. General Statute §41-23. b. Uncertainty. Despite its passage, many practitioners as well as trust companies were still hesitant to be involved with dynastic trusts due to the new N.C.G.S. §41-23 being in potential violation of the N.C. Constitutional Prohibition Against Perpetuities and Monopolies as found in Article 1, Section 34 of the North Carolina Constitution. c. Brown Brothers Harriman Trust Co. v. Benson 09 CVS 13456. The Brown Brothers case ultimately tackled the issues of potential conflict between North Carolina's repeal of the rule against perpetuities and the NC Constitution. On February 26, 2009 the North Carolina Business Court held that: i. N.C.G.S. §41-23 was a valid exercise of the General Assembly's power to repeal the rule against perpetuities. ii. The prohibitions in Article I, Section 34 of the NC Constitution only apply to unreasonable restraints on the alienation of property and not the vesting of remote interests. iii. The dynastic trust at issue did not violate the North Carolina Constitution. 6. Present Situation. The Brown Brothers case is awaiting appellate review. If not overturned on appeal, North Carolina practitioners will be able to implement North Carolina dynastic or perpetual trusts if the client's needs and desires so demand. Of course, other states may have more favorable trust income tax rules and clients may still forum shop the state best suited to locate such a trust. Planning Pointer: Although dynasty trusts now appear to be allowed in North Carolina, the rules of the generation skipping transfer (GST) tax still apply and will limit the initial size of any such trust. In fact, many legal scholars believe that it was the introduction of the GST tax in 1986 that stopped many of the previous estate tax avoidance loopholes and began the initial push for repeal of the rule against perpetuities. D. Alternatives to Formal Estate Administration 1. Summary Administration. Summary administration is available when a decedent dies either testate or intestate leaving a surviving spouse as the sole devisee or heir (N.C.G.S. § 28A-28-1). The surviving spouse may file a petition for summary administration and upon the signing of the order of summary administration by the Clerk of Court, the estate administration process is over. A certified copy of the order provides the authority for the surviving spouse to administer and transfer assets to her. Planning Pointer: With summary administration there is no publication of notice to creditors and the surviving spouse becomes 100% liable for any debts of the deceased spouse to the extent of the value of property received. Because of this assumption of liability, many Clerks require a surviving spouse to use an attorney before approving a summary administration. If a surviving spouse has any doubt as to potential creditors or claims outstanding, a formal administration is recommended. Likewise if the surviving spouse plans to sell any real property in the decedent's sole name within two years of the date of death, summary administration should be avoided and a full estate administration with formal notice to creditors should be done instead. 2. Notice to Creditors Without A Formal Estate Administration. Previously, only a formal administration allowed for the publication of notice to creditors in order to bar all unknown creditor claims. Recent changes to the North Carolina Statutes now provide for a procedure to provide notice to creditors without a formal estate administration when a decedent dies without leaving probate assets. These new rules can be found in the North Carolina General Statutes, Chapter 28A, Article 29. Planning Pointer: This recent development provides a valuable resource for those clients wishing to cut off unknown creditors of a decedent, but whose assets are held entirely in trust or pass entirely outside of probate by right of survivorship or beneficiary designation. 3. Small Estates Increase. House Bill 203, Session Law 2009-175 has recently amended N.C.G.S. §28A-25-1 to increase the size of estates that can be administered as a 'small estate' from $10,000 to $20,000. Under this statute a party (the "collector") will file an affidavit of collection (AOC–E–203) with the clerk of court and upon transfer of all estate assets to the beneficiaries will then file a final affidavit of collection, disbursement and distribution (AOC-E-204). a. Differences between administration by affidavit (small estate) and formal administration: i. Collector by affidavit is not required to be bonded; ii. Collector by affidavit is not a Personal Representative; iii. No inventory is required; and iv. Notice to creditors is not required. 4. Increased Spousal Allowance. Recent changes to N.C.G.S. § 30-15 have increased the spousal allowance from $10,000 to $20,000. The spousal allowance is an amount of assets a surviving spouse can receive from an estate which is exempt from any judgments, liens or creditors of the decedent. The amount is intended to provide support for a surviving spouse for the year following a decedent's death. The right to a spousal allowance is available whether the estate is administered through a formal administration process or one of the other less formal alternatives. Planning Pointer: The Small Estate value may be determined after the removal of assets to satisfy the spousal allowance. With the recent increase, a decedent leaving a surviving spouse and probate assets of no more than $40,000 could benefit from the combination of these two recent increases without the need for a full estate administration. Planning Pointer: The spousal allowance can be funded with any personal property. In many instances the spousal allowance is an effective way to quickly and efficiently transfer full title in a vehicle, or like asset, to the surviving spouse. Planning Pointer: Don't forget the children. All minor children, including full time students under age 22, and disabled or incompetent children under age 21, are entitled to $2,000 as a yearly allowance in addition to the spousal allowance. E. North Carolina's New Elective Share Statute 1. What is an elective share? As a general rule, an individual is free to dispose of or bequeath one's assets as they so choose including the disinheritance of family members at will. However, absent a pre or post marital agreement to the contrary, one cannot fully disinherit a surviving spouse. First effective on January 1, 2001, the new North Carolina Elective Share statute now governs the procedure for a disinherited spouse to properly claim a share of their deceased spouse's estate in the event the decedent did not sufficiently provide for his surviving spouse at death. 2. General disposition. In summary, the North Carolina elective share statute provides a surviving spouse with: a. one-half of the deceased's total net assets if the decedent is not survived by any lineal descendants; b. one-half of the deceased's total net assets if the decedent is survived by one child or issue of one predeceased child; or c. one-third of the deceased's total net assets if the decedent is survived by two or more children or the issue of two or more predeceased children. d. In the event of a second or later marriage, the above fractions are reduced by one-half if the deceased has surviving issues from a previous marriage and there are no issue from the current marriage. 3. Confusion. Although well intended in its protection of surviving spouses, the North Carolina Elective Share statute adopted in 2001 was at times cumbersome to interpret in complex situations. In particular, the term 'total net assets', which defined the assets subject to the elective share claim, was difficult to determine. 4. In re Estate of Pope 666 S.E.2d 140 (2008). The term 'total net assets' in calculating a surviving spouse's elective share under the statutes was at issue in the recent Pope case. In Pope the surviving spouse had petitioned for an elective share and wanted to include in 'total net assets' assets that were held in an irrevocable trust during the decedent's lifetime and which passed to a charitable foundation upon the decedent's death. Upon review, the North Carolina Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's denial of the surviving spouse's right to claim an elective share of the assets in the decedent's irrevocable trust. The court held that although the decedent held equitable title to the assets as a result of being a lifetime beneficiary of the trust, the legal title was actually in the name of the trustees. Likewise, the court noted that the assets couldn't be subject to an elective share claim as assets 'includable in the decedent's taxable estate' because the taxable estate was zero since the assets transferred to the family's charitable foundation and qualified for the estate tax charitable deduction. 5. New Elective Share Statute. In response to the statute's confusion as highlighted in the Pope case, the North Carolina elective share statute was recently rewritten and now applies to decedents dying on or after October 1, 2009. The new statute is substantively the same as the old one, but more clearly clarifies and defines 'total assets' and other terms defined in the statute. Key points to still remember in connection with an elective share claim: a. An elective share petition must be filed within six (6) months after the issuance of the Estate's letters testamentary. b. The elective share hearing shall be held within two to six months after the filing of the petition claiming an elective share c. The same fractional rights in interest are present (1/2, 1/3 or less depending on number of descendants, second marriage, etc…) as were in the original statute. 6. The Elective Life Estate. In lieu of taking an outright intestate share, the surviving spouse of an intestate, or a surviving spouse who has petitioned for an elective share, can elect the following as their intestate or elective share: a. A life estate in one-third (1/3) of all the real estate of which the deceased spouse was seized and possessed of an estate of inheritance at any time during coverture. b. This one-third (1/3) life estate shall also include a full life estate in the usual dwelling house occupied by the surviving spouse including fee simple ownership of all household furnishings therein. i. Except for a few mortgage related exceptions, neither the household furnishings in the dwelling house nor the life estate taken under this election shall be subject to the payment of debts due from the estate of the deceased spouse Planning Pointer. Although the elective life estate is not commonly used by surviving spouses, it is important to remember and may be crucial in certain situations. For example, in extremely debt ridden estates the elective life estate can potentially leave the surviving spouse with at least somewhere to live free from the debts of the deceased spouse. It is because of this life estate election right that lenders and buyers require both husband and wife to sign real estate deeds and deeds of trust, even if only one spouse is on the title, in order to fully release all spousal rights associated with the real property. F. North Carolina's Uniform Trust Code – Modification and Termination of Irrevocable Trusts Article 4 of the North Carolina's Uniform Trust Code ( N.C.G.S. §36C-4-411 through §36C-4-416) contains statutes that allow a grantor, beneficiary or trustee to alter or terminate an irrevocable trust. a. 36C-4-411(a) - Consent of the Settler and all beneficiaries. An irrevocable trust can be modified or terminated if the settlor and all the beneficiaries consent. This type of modification is the only statutory provision under the UTC which does not require a court order to amend an irrevocable trust. i. Although not required, a party may file an action in superior court to approve such a modification or termination. ii. An incapacitated settlor's attorney in fact or guardian can still exercise this power for the incapacitated settlor, if authorized under the power of attorney document or guardianship. iii. This type modification or termination is available even if the modification or termination is inconsistent with the original purpose of the trust. Planning Pointer. The statutory definition of Settlor includes the person who created the trust as well as anyone who later transfers assets to the trust. If multiple parties have participated in funding a trust, all will need to be alive and participate in the agreement to modify or terminate under this statutory method. b. 36C-4-411(b) (c) and (d) - Compelled modification or modification with Consent of the beneficiaries. i. Under subsection (b) and (c) of N.C.G.S. Section 36C-4-411, the court may terminate or modify an irrevocable trust, upon consent by all beneficiaries, if it is determined that the continuation of the trust is not necessary to achieve its original purpose, or the modification is necessary to maintain the trust's original purpose. In addition, the court can also order the modification or termination if the reason for such modification or termination substantially outweighs the interest in accomplishing the material purpose of the trust. ii. If one or more beneficiaries do not agree with the proposed modification or termination, the court may still terminate or modify the trust under part (d) if the trust would have been modified should all beneficiaries have consented and the modification will adequately protect the non-consenting beneficiary. Planning Pointer. These modification methods are most typically used because the settlor is no longer living and able to consent. However, part (d) can be used when the settlor is still living and one or more beneficiaries will not consent to a modification or termination. Planning Pointer. Some commentators worry that the ability of the settlor to participate in the modification or termination of an irrevocable trust raises potential inclusion issues under §2036 or §2038. However, the official comment to N.C.G.S. §36C-4-411 states, "the settlor's right to join the beneficiaries in terminating or modifying a trust under this section does not rise to the level of a taxable power." If there is serious concern that the settlor's consent may cause inclusion under I.R.C. Sections 2036 or 2038, a court action can be initiated by the beneficiaries, and if all the beneficiaries are in accord, a consent order con be obtained relatively easily. c. 36C-4-412 - Unanticipated circumstances. An irrevocable trust can be modified or terminated if the court finds that such modification or termination will further the original purposes of the trust. In addition, a trust may be modified if its existing terms cause unnecessary waste or strain on the trust's administration. d. 36C-4-413 - Cy Pres. In addition to the other modification remedies available, a charitable trust may be terminated or modified if the court finds the purpose of the charitable trust has become unlawful, impractical, impossible to achieve, or wasteful. e. 36C-4-414 - Uneconomic Trust. A trust may be terminated if it is determined that it be uneconomical to continue the administration of the trust. i. If the trust corpus falls below $50,000.00 the Trustee can, without the need for prior court approval, terminate the trust under the statute. ii. If the trust corpus is over $50,000.00, the superior court must be petitioned and find in favor of the petitioning party as to the uneconomical operation of the trust before granting termination. f. 36C-4-415 - Drafting mistake or scrivener error. A trust may be modified to conform with the settlor's original intention if the court finds that the terms of the trust were affected by a mistake of a fact or law or by a drafting error. g. 36C-4-416. - Tax Objectives. The court may allow the modification of the terms of a trust to help achieve a settlor's intended tax objectives. Such modification can also be applied retroactively if so ordered by the court.

If you are curious about crab spiders and if they are poisonous or not, we should set a thing straight from the start. What does poisonous mean? According to thefreedictionary.com the meaning of poisonous refers to items capable of killing while acting like a poison. The term has the same meaning as toxic and venomous.
In case of this type of spider, unlike any others, the answer of the question in the title can be both yes and no. Yes is just in the case of some small creatures with which crab spiders may get to interact, like bees. Bees may be larger than crab spiders, but these spiders have the power to paralyze them with their poison. They often simply sit and wait patiently for their prey, like the aforementioned bees to land somewhere near them and surprise them with a blitz attack. In cases like these, the bees die because of the venom of crab spiders.
For humans, the answer to the question in the title is clearly no. This does not mean that people can get bit by crab spiders and get away with it. They might (but not necessarily) be victims of allergic reactions or irritations, however, nothing really serious. People rarely interact with crab spiders because they live in places like gardens or woods, where they can hid under leaves, which are part of their usual environment. Fortunately, the crab spiders do not represent a danger for people.
We hope you found your answer to your concerns in this article. Thank you for all your emails and for all your points!

Hey Bratch, my wife is Japanese too and as you know the CW in Japan is very much rice, rice, rice. I too had a hard time explaining way I wanted to go primal and although I've only recently got properly serious the results so far (especially on mood and blood sugar) have my wife convinced. She is now nearly as primal as me and life is good.
I did a search for the appropriate Japanese phrases although pasting them here might result in the Japanese text going strange. The best things to search for on the internet for Japanese viewers are:
1. tei inshurin daietto (low insulin diet)
2. genshi jin daietto (palaeolithic diet)
3. pareo daietto (paleo diet)
Sadly, there isn't too much information out there in Japanese. The way I explained to my wife is that simple carbs cause your blood sugar to rise and then crash. I asked her to try it for a week and she was totally convinced. If you live in Japan the most difficult thing is finding the ingredients but modern day foraging is part of the fun.
This is the only Japanese book I found (search for the ISBN on Japanese Amazon (co.jp).
ISBN-10: 4106005131 (Genshi jin kenko gaku)
Good luck! JpGrok

If you want some advice from a player whos in a clan that made it to the playoffs on GameBattles (basically we're bad ass), then I suggest using the Thompson with the Round Drum. Perks: 1 - Bandolier, 2 -Stopping Power, 3 - Deep Impact. You will probably hate the short magazine when you first start, but it will improve your aiming dramatically. Also, save about 1-2 shots so you don't have to click on your Round Drum. It saves about a second when reloading, which is a significant ammount of time when you think about it.

I personally use either one of two different classes:
FG42 (Accurate and fires extremely fast, but empties quickly)
Walther Pistol (When you are in a firefight and you need to kill them off quickly it does the job fine)
Bandolier (FG42 with 120 ammo)
Sleight of Hand (FG42 reloads really slow normally)
Either Martydom (where you drop a live grenade when killed) or Deep Impact
My second layout is;
STG44 with Aperture sight
Walther Pistol
Double Tap
For both I use Frag and Smoke grenades
I would also recommend the PTRS Bolt action rifle, MP40, Type100, Springfield and PPsh

Fixed PriceBudget: $250
Start DateOctober 7, 2012
This 'sample' machine project involves which involves writing an Algorithm to compare an address with either Bing Maps and Google and interpreting a perfect result on which one is closest match to the address.
There would be cases where many a time both Google and Bing may exactly match with image centroid or Lattitude and Longitude.
Sometimes when Bing and Google may not be right we would try to look at StreetView which is the third and then take the right decision.
For e.g. If i have let's say a address which involves me to make a subjective decision on which of the Map routes are better... Google or Bing... the program should be able to take the logical decision.
Programmers who have earlier worked on similar space are welcome.
I have attached a detailed requirement of the project.
Other Requirements:
Compatible with XP and updated versions of MS for desktop version.
A server version along with the desktop version of the BOT is also favourable MS_Server2003 and above.
Preferably development of BOT without licence based software would be favourable.
1. BOT should be scalable and Flexible. ( tomorrow if I need to add more branch data it needs to linked accordingly
2. Program should identify the following cases.
1. First if INPUT data of latitude and longitude are same (i.e. data in excel )from both Bing, Google Earth, Google Street View and Google Street Side.
2. In cases where Bing or Google fails to throw up the results then we need to compare with Google Streetview / Bing street Side. (NOTE: if the contractor is able to compare all the four i.e. Bing, Google Earth, Google Streetview and Bing Streetside) we would prefer that particular program
Additional points for creativity on the above.
The User should have the option to choose the path of where the excel file is placed e.g. desktop/folder/any drives
UI can have inbuilt flexibility where the user can copy and paste the details of the data which are present in excel for e.g. through loaders etc….
Logics and Algorithms
Need to ensure Machine learning logics/algorithms/Fuzzy logics are introduced in the program
Multithreading for the program is a Must
Superior and Flexible architecture, strong frameworks.-
OUTPUT format
1. One of the Output format would be in excel (please refer to excel sheet) or contractor can decide the best form of output.
2. Optional Output by the user in the form of XML is a must.
Skills: algorithms, interpreting, multithreading

A small Hoboken-based savings bank has unveiled plans to expand in New Jersey's affluent suburbs in the latest merger to shake up the state's community banking sector.
Haven Bancorp, the parent company of Haven Savings Bank, announced today it had reached an agreement with Hilltop Community Bancorp to acquire the Summit-based lender in a $26.9 million, all-cash deal.
The arrangement valued Hilltop's common stock at $9.42 a share, a 52 percent premium to yesterday's closing price of $6.20 a share. That was enough to send the price of the bank's thinly traded shares surging today. Its stock, which is listed on the over-the-counter service OTCQB, jumped 49 percent to $9.20 a share by the 4 p.m. close of trading in New York.
Haven's purchase of Hilltop, though small, follows other mergers announced in the past year. Last Friday, Oak Ridge's Lakeland Bancorp finalized its acquisition Somerset Hills Bancorp, while Investors Bancorp and M&T Bank are working to complete takeovers of Roma Financial and Hudson City Bancorp, respectively.
The Hilltop takeover, which the banks expect to close during the fourth quarter, would add three branches to Haven's six-branch network and about $160 million of assets to its balance sheet. Hilltop's chief executive, Mortimer O'Shea, also would join Haven's board of directors under the deal.
The deal also would fill in Haven's footprint in bedroom communities near where it operates and expand its commercial banking business. Hilltop, a commercial lender founded in 2000, has branches in Madison, Berkeley Heights and Summit, not far from the Westfield and Livingston offices of Haven, a bank that's been in business since 1938 and mostly lends to residential borrowers.
In a statement, Haven CEO John Wessling III hailed Hilltop and its employees' "excellent track record" of business lending and deposit growth. "We look forward to working with them and their clients for many years to come."

PAW PAW, MI – A Michigan State Police motor carrier officer who was critically injured last week in a rollover crash near Decatur has died, police said Tuesday.
Officer Dennis Myers passed away just after 12 a.m. Tuesday at Bronson Methodist Hospital after being taken off life support, Michigan State Police Lt. Dale Hinz confirmed this morning in an email to MLive/Kalamazoo Gazette.
"His organs were donated so that some good might come from this tragedy," Hinz, commander of the state police post in Paw Paw where Myers was stationed, said in the e-mail.
Myers, an 11-year veteran of MSP who was named Motor Carrier Officer of the Year in 2010, had been listed in critical condition at Bronson as recently as Friday.
Myers is survived by his wife and two sons, ages 9 and 11, state police said in a news release.
Myers was hurt late on Aug. 19 when he crashed his Honda Civic on County Road 352 west of Decatur in Van Buren County.
Myers had no heartbeat when emergency workers arrived at the scene of the crash. Police and rescue workers responded after a passerby found Myers' car at about 11:30 p.m.
Hinz said previously that it appears Myers was westbound on CR 352 when his tire went off the north side of the road and Myers overcorrected. Myers then lost control of the car and ran off the south side of the road where the car rolled before landing on its roof.
Police have said Myers was alone in the car and wearing his seatbelt at the time of the crash. Hinz said previously there was no evidence that alcohol was a factor in the crash.

About Five Years Ago
The country singer opened up about how she manages to stay slim in an interview with OK! magazine. She described her eating habits as "healthy" and explained that she does not feel guilty about what she eats.
"I don't feel guilty," McBride said. "I think you should eat what you want. Everything in moderation."
She also gave fans some insight into a typical week of eating, noting that the healthiest thing she ate for the week was broccoli ("It's good for you and it tastes good") and that her unhealthiest food choice was chocolate ice cream.
McBride landed a Grammy nomination for Best Country Solo Performance in early December for her single "I'm Gonna Love You Through It." An hour-long special on the launch of her latest album, ELEVEN, aired on December 5.

Vince Gill and Amy Grant have been named Tennesseans of the Year by the state's Tennessean newspaper.
Americans love a winner and that's not the Dallas Cowboys these days. The team from deep in the Republic of Texas has been replaced as the nation's most popular team.
Aaron Rodgers' Super Bowl-winning Green Bay Packers were picked by 22 percent of voters as their favorite team in the NFL, according to Public Policy Polling's newest national survey. The Cowboys finished second, with 11 percent of the vote, followed by the Bears, Giants and Steelers.
NFL Films famously gave the Cowboys the title of "America's Team" in a 1978 highlight film. The program opened up with this intro: "They appear on television so often that their faces are as familiar to the public as presidents and movie stars. They are the Dallas Cowboys, America's Team."
A generation later, Dallas was actually picked as America's least favorite NFL team. The Cowboys got 22 percent of the negative vote, beating out the Chicago Bears' 8 percent and Green Bay's 7 percent for the title.
This was a bi-partisan pigskin vote: Republicans (60 percent), Democrats (44 percent) and independents (44 percent) all picked the Packers over the Cowboys.
Another member of Lady Antebellum has made plans to tie the knot. Dave Haywood proposed to his girlfriend Kelli Cashiola Monday night, and she said yes. According to People, Dave picked Kelli up at her office on Nashville's Music Row and then had her put on a blindfold as they turned onto her street. It turns out Dave transformed every room of Kellie's house into what's described as a "sparkling winter wonderland." Dave then took Kelli outside, where a string of Christmas lights spelled out "Will you marry me?" on the front of the house.
A date hasn't been set for the wedding, but it's presumed Dave and Kelli will get married after bandmate Hillary Scott weds drummer Chris Tyrell. Dave and Kelli first announced their relationship last month.

Might as well stop looking now: "Mister Right" does not exist. At least that's what a survey of 2000 women shows. Not a single solitary woman in the survey said they were happy with their main squeeze.
When asked to rank -- on a scale of 1-to-10 -- how perfect their man came, the typical response was 7. meaning, about one-third of the time he fails to be "Mr Right". The traits these guys have that drive women berserk include "an inability to multi-task", "leaving toe nail clippings around", "watching too much sports", "using her toothbrush", "won't help with cooking", and "leaving the bathroom door open".
