Depending on how long the plug wells were full of water, something may have become corroded (plugs, wires). Not uncommon at all.
Other than that, have it scanned for pending codes and get back to us.
I'm new here, hoping to get some advice...I have a 2004 Focus SE with 117k on it, it's a 2.0 Zetec 4cyl. I bought it from a local dealer and I thought I was getting a decent deal...I've driven it for 60 miles...basically from the lot to my house, in that time it's ate 1/3 a tank of gas, hesitates to go into reverse if it's been running awhile, stutters uncontrollably, and ultimately shuts down if it's been running for more than 10 minutes...I'm thinking it's the Catalytic Converter that's burning everything up...as a side yesterday I found water down in the Plug housing and in and around the plug wires, we dried it out and it ran for awhile, but still sputtered.
Earlier I drove it down to my garage and it barely made it up the hill, as soon as I put it in reverse it started acting like it was low on gas and just sputtered but would move if I gave it just a littttle bit of gas, anything more and it just died out. We're taking it back to the lot tomorrow to hope they'll fix it, but I'm pretty much prepared to replace and pay for it all, I just need to know what I'll have to replace. Or at least general ideas of where to look.

Some people recommend not going over 9:1 C.R. Big block are more prone to detonation than SBC. BTW if you do change rod bolts and do the honing on the rods they will have to be resized again.
Over here in europe the benzine is about 96 octane(regular unleaded) and we also have E-85 that they sell as super. The high octane,measured here in RON, is due to the addition of alcohol in all benzine products now. If you install a knock sensor with a timing retard function you can run almost anything. I work on BMW motorcycles with standard 12 to 1 compression on the normal factory sport street machine(180 horsepower,1300 cc) and the electronics take care of any detonation problems. If you have a MSD 6 AL there are attachments to give you a knock sensor function along with the automatic timing retard ,also available is a manual timing adjuster ( while your driving) as well. Its a bit expensive but with old fuel and other gas station tricks effecting fuel quality, it would be a smart move anyways(I knew a couple of gas station owners back in the day). You'd think with all the money they charge for gasoline now you guys would at least get a little higher quality product. I think ,no matter what I read on the net, that you gotta have at least 10 to 1 or more to approach 500 hp at the crank. I appreciate the advice and information,its a big help.

Brady prepping for match of wits with Ravens
By Larry Fine
(Reuters) - Tom Brady has been sharpening up for another test against the Baltimore Ravens, knowing that finding the right answers to their defensive schemes on Sunday will be key to the New England Patriots reaching another Super Bowl.
"I think it's important to put stress on their whole defense," the New England quarterback told a Foxborough news conference on Wednesday. "I think whatever they're not covering, that's what we have to be able to focus our play calling on and certainly our execution.
"If they're covering us deep, we'll throw it short. If they cover us short, we'll throw it deep. If they're playing the pass, we'll run it.
"I think that's part of the chess game."
Brady, who last week against the Houston Texans passed his boyhood idol Joe Montana into the top spot for NFL playoff wins by a quarterback at 17, runs the league's top-ranked offense for both yards gained and points scored.
But Brady, who has played in five of the last 11 Super Bowls and won three rings, figures it will not come easily against the Ravens, who have reached the playoffs the last five seasons.
Last year the Patriots were fortunate to claim a 23-20 AFC title victory over the visiting Ravens, who squandered a chance to win or tie the game in the final seconds.
In Week Three of the regular season, Baltimore hung on for a 31-30 victory over the Patriots in Foxborough, where the teams will clash once again for the conference championship and a berth in the Super Bowl on February 3 in New Orleans. Continued...

Our Summer Symposium kicks off in Richmond, Virginia, this Thursday, and we'd like to introduce you to some of the wonderful people we'll celebrate over the course of the weekend. Since our new website isn't ready to show off just yet, we're sharing the interviews from our latest oral history project here. Every day leading up to the Summer Symposium, we'll feature two more stories from Women at Work in RVA.

"Anybody can go wherever they want to go. But I found oysters took me where I needed to be." ~ Deborah Pratt
Oyster Shuckers, Rappahannock River
Sisters Deborah Pratt and Clementine Boyd Macon grew up in a family of eight children in Middlesex County, Virginia, situated on the Chesapeake Bay, where the oyster industry is part of the landscape. Their parents met and fell in love in an oyster house. Most of the family shucked oysters for a living, but Deborah swore she'd never join their ranks. That is, until the night she asked Clementine to teach her how to do it because she needed a job. They sat together on Clementine's back porch, and she showed Deborah one of the tricks of the trade: open from the lip, not the hinge. In the early 1980s, Deborah and Clementine left their kids on the soccer field to compete in an oyster-shucking contest in Urbanna. The contests—and awards—keep coming. They alternate between championships: Deborah wins one; Clementine wins the next. They both hold several state and national titles. Deborah has placed in the international oyster shucking competition in Galway, Ireland, four times. Today, both their sons are moving quickly behind them, shucking faster and steadier, perhaps one day taking their crowns.
"I had been cooking for fifteen years, and I just wanted to open a butcher shop. So I figured if Julia [Child] could become a culinary icon, I could open a little butcher shop. And it kind of just gave me that extra little oomph that I needed to kind of say, you know, 'You can do this.'"
Belmont Butchery
With her father in the Navy, Tanya Cauthen and her family moved every couple years, all over the world. But many of her childhood summers were spent on her grandparent's 200-acre farm in Alachua, Florida, where Tanya felt a natural affinity toward the livestock and landscape. In the early 1980s, her family settled in Virginia when her father went to work at the Pentagon. Tanya moved to Charlottesville to attend the University of Virginia, where she studied aerospace engineering and worked as a line cook for beer money. Later, she attended the American Culinary Federation apprenticeship program, finished the 3-year program a year early, and left for Switzerland to work as a journeywoman (a term for a person who's completed culinary training and has some knowledge, but still has much to learn). She returned to Virginia, this time to Richmond, to be near her sister, Karen Cauthen Miller. Tanya worked as a chef at The Red Oak and the Frog and the Redneck before starting her own catering company, Capers Catering, with Karen. She grew frustrated because she couldn't get quality cuts of meat. The problem: Richmond didn't have a professional butcher. Tanya knocked out a business plan overnight. Nine weeks later, in 2006, she opened the doors of Belmont Butchery. The focus of the butchery is organic and humanely raised meat. Tanya connects her customers to small family farms and teaches them the value of understanding where food comes from and how it should really taste.

Cotton left as the MVP of the offensive line today and he worked at tackle, guard, and center. He was successful at all three, but most impressive on the inside. The Alabama commit showed great hands, nice power, and nice punch. He ran the ends outside and stoned the defensive tackles inside.
Van Jefferson, 2015 WR, Brentwood (Tenn.) Ravenwood
Jefferson was almost flawless Sunday afternoon. The senior wideout is smooth and clearly the best route runner and technical wideout there. He was the MVP at his position and that was likely an easy call for the Student Sports staff.
Dontea Jones, 2015 WR, Louisville (Miss.)
Jones is a big (6-foot-5, 220 pound) wide receiver, but he really moves well for his size. He was pretty fluid in the drills, then showed he could get open in the pass skeleton. He used his size, his used his length, and this is a good get for the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
Gardner Minshew, 2015 QB, Brandon (Miss.)
Minshew only has a few offers, but do not let that fool you, this young man is talented. He was zipping the ball to his receivers all afternoon, he got rid of the ball in a hurry, and he was accurate on short, intermediate, and deep passes. He spins is well and his balls are easy to receive.
Javon Patterson, 2015 OG, Petal (Miss.)
The Scout 100 interior offensive lineman was not as dominant as some may have expected and wanted him to be in the one-on-ones, but he won his share, and he showed why he is a top recruit. He moves well in short space and he is a natural bender.
Drew Richmond, 2015 OT, Memphis (Tenn.) University
Richmond continues to improve. He has been that guy on the hoof for years and it is starting to all come together for the big tackle. He is athletic, he has the size of a prototypical tackle, and he moves very well.
Deddrick Thomas, 2015 WR, Memphis (Tenn.) Central
Thomas looks like a guy who would be best on slip screens and underneath routes, but he showed speed to get behind corners Sunday. He is sneaky fast, very quick off the line, and corners were burned consistently by Thomas. He added Mississippi State to his offer list Sunday and he now has 11 total.
Darryl Williams, 2015 OG, Bessemer (Ala.)
Williams was impressive - very impressive. He worked at guard and center and this young man won many battles in the one-on-ones. He worked his hands well, he stayed low, and he showed good agility for a big interior offensive lineman.
John Garcia contributed to this feature.

This past weekend I attended the Community Day at the new Helen DeVos Children's Hospital. And WOW! It is really amazing. Really AMAZING!
It is a state of the art medical facility just for kids. Plus really great artwork on all 13 floors. Unfortunately, we did not get to see all 13 floors, since some were closed. And one that was closed was the 6th floor. That is where "Grow Garden Grow" now lives. I got special permission and an escort to the closed 6th floor. And so I was able to take a few photos to share.
Here is photo #1 with more to follow!

Britney Spears is set to get engaged by the end of the year.
The Hold it Against Me hitmaker's boyfriend Jason Trawick, who has been dating the pop star for around two years, plans to take her on holiday when her Femme Fatale Tour ends in Puerto Rico on December 10, and he is "very likely" to pop the question.
An insider said: "Britney and Jason discuss marriage all the time. Britney is truly in love with Jason, and, well, Jason has loved her for a very, very long time.
"Jason adores her two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James. Jason is planning on taking Britney on a secluded getaway once the tour wraps, and it's very likely he will pop the question at that time."
The 29-year-old singer - who has been married twice before, to Kevin Federline, the father of her kids, and Jason Alexander - would need a judge to formally sign off her marriage as she is still under her father Jamie's conservatorship following her much-publicised breakdown more than three years ago.
But she would be allowed to get engaged without requiring any official approval.
The source added: "When Britney does get engaged, her father's attorneys will notify the judge in her conservatorship case. It's extremely within the realm of possibility that the conservatorship will end, and then Britney will get married. It will be a very smooth transition."
The blonde beauty's mother Lynne and Jason are said to be "very close" and her family are "looking forward to the day that Jason will formally be a member of their family".
Earlier this year, Jason visited an exclusive Los Angeles jeweller to help him design the perfect ring ready for when he proposes to the Toxic singer.

Paintball guns reviews
Paintball is an outdoor sport based on war, conceived and played for the first time in June, 1981. Today this game has become immensely popular across many continents. Indoor versions of the game have also been developed. Two players are necessary for playing this game. However, this sport is also played by two teams. The game improves tactical skills and fosters team spirit. Therefore, this sport is also used by corporate managements for improving co-ordination amongst employees. The tactical maneuvers emerging from this sport are also studied by armed forces.
Paintballs are used instead of bullets in this game. These balls are made from gelatin and a polymer that is water soluble. These balls are also biodegradable and non-toxic. A soluble dye is filled in them to give the color. Paintball guns are used to shoot these balls or capsules at the enemy in the game.
Paintball guns are designed using conventional designs of guns. Because of this, the scenario acquires a degree of authenticity. Over the years, tournaments are organized with players from different teams spending a few minutes to few days playing this game. Every paintball game has some novelty about it, because of which the game continues to fascinate players.
A well-designed paintball gun makes victory easier. Different guns are suitable for different combat scenarios. Internet also gives access to in which these guns are ranked according to their efficiency, price, and usability. A paintball gun comparison chart is actually a paintball gun review indicating the features and mechanisms of different paintball guns and their suitability for various purposes. For example, is the gun portable, does the gun have technologies such as RF and IR, what is the maximum range for which this gun is suited, and is the gun suitable for indoor as well as outdoor versions of Paintball game. Different brands of paintball guns are reviewed and ranked in such charts based on customer's remarks available on different blogs and websites. Therefore, selecting a paintball gun becomes easy with such reviews.

Android Market link: Winamp - £Free
In the early days of MP3s on PCs, there was only really one music player that everybody used: Winamp. It packed good features and impressive sound quality into a small, neat package. Now Nullsoft has ported it across to Android and thankfully it retains the same user-friendly interface.
The software is still in beta and a little rough around the edges, but it's definitely worth a download for a number of reasons. Chief among these is the way it can sync music with the desktop version of Winamp. This makes it easy to transfer tracks and playlists to your phone, especially as the software supports wireless syncing. It also gives you access to shedloads of SHOUTcast music stations and there's integration with services like the Amazon MP3 store and Last.fm too.
As it's still in beta, there are a few issues that need to be sorted out, but Winamp looks like it's developing into a neat little music-playing app for your phone.

text: Charles Darwin has a lot to answer for. He saw the world with new eyes, fundamentally changed our understanding of nature, and upset a lot of people in the process. 200 years after his birth, Darwin's work underpins modern biology. His findings still challenge, stimulate and—amazingly—offend people the world over. And his discoveries continue to teach us a lesson we are only now beginning to appreciate fully—that life is plastic; that it can change and adapt, and can therefore be manipulated and controlled. It's this last point I want to write about on the 200th anniversary of Darwin's birth. Because as well as possibly marking another critical step in humanity's history, it also contains a delicious irony—but more on that in a moment…Continue Reading →

Lack of sleep can do more than make you grumpier than Oscar the Grouch. It can have an impact on your immune system, according to a study conducted by the Surrey Sleep Research Centre. Researchers found that poor sleep quality for just one week could impact hundreds of genes related to metabolism, response to stress, and our immune system, which helps to protect us from illness and disease.
Lack of Sleep and the Immune System
Sleep Hygiene
You probably know that it's advised to practice good hygiene to keep yourself healthy, and to help prevent the spread of diseases. But did you know that "sleep hygiene" plays an important role in getting the quality sleep that you need each and every night?
Fibromyalgia and Sleep
An estimated 10 million people suffer from fibromyalgia here in the U.S., and up to six percent of the population worldwide have this condition, reports the National Fibromyalgia Association. While the disorder does occur in men and children, up to 90 percent of people who have fibromyalgia are women. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, most people are first diagnosed with fibromyalgia during middle age. Painful and baffling, fibromyalgia is a condition without a definitive cause, treatment, or cure.
How to Stay Asleep
Anyone who has suffered from insomnia, particularly how to stay asleep at night, has spent a lot of time wondering about this very thing. Sleep problems due to interrupted or insufficient sleep can lead to a wide range of health conditions if allowed to go unchecked, according to Nancy Foldvary-Schaefer, D.O., who is director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Cleveland Clinic. These health risks include heart failure, high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. The good news is that you won't have to worry about how to stay asleep much longer if you put the practical, actionable advice below to work.
Bright Light Therapy
Bright light therapy, also known as phototherapy, is a helpful way to treat the winter blues, otherwise known as seasonal affective disorder (SAD), as well as some sleep disorders. SAD is a form of depression, occurring in the fall and winter months, when the amount of daylight and sunshine is reduced.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia
While many of us are plagued with occasional bouts of insomnia from time to time, others unfortunately find insomnia a part of their regular nighttime ritual. For these individuals, a glass of warm milk isn't enough to help them fall asleep and stay asleep. That's when cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia can step in and help, as the Mayo Clinic points out.
Sleep Studies Part 1: Seals Offer a Peek into Human Sleep
An increasing amount of sleep research is being conducted on a daily basis, and some of it is quite intriguing. To that end, we're starting a new series on the PlushBeds Blog on "sleep studies". You can expect to see posts on new sleep studies periodically as fascinating new sleep research comes out.
Seals Sleep With Half of Their Brain
A new sleep study published online in the Journal of Neuroscience has identified chemicals in a seal's brain that enable them to sleep with half of their brain at a time. In other words, seals have the ability to be awake and asleep simultaneously! How amazing is that?
Sleep Disorders
Sleep is essential for people from all social and economic groups. Every living creature needs sleep in order to function. Unfortunately, many disorders and conditions limit or impair your ability to get a good night's sleep. Although there are a plethora of sleep disorders, these are a few of the heavy hitters.
The Best Temperature for Sleeping
There's been a host of discussion about various factors that impact a person's quality of sleep, including the amount of light in the room, foods eaten,bedroom colors, mattress firmness, and type of mattress. Let's add another one to the list: your bedroom's air temperature. The connection between sleep, body temperature, and air temperature has been debated by more than one expert in the field.
Cures for Insomnia
Medical Disclaimer: No claims are made for cures of any type within the following blog post. Check with your physician before following any regimen for insomnia or any other medical issues you may be facing.
Everyone has a night or two of having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. However, when it becomes a persistent case of insomnia, it can impact your quality of life, as it takes a toll on your mood, energy, and ability to get through your day. Adequate sleep is a primary part of a healthy lifestyle, and chronic insufficient sleep can lead to compromised health. That's exactly why it's important to look into cures for insomnia before the condition goes on too long.

If you haven't seen them yet, check out these 2 preview clips from the film:
last week Sony Pictures acquired North American and International rights to The Silent Storm with Damian Lewis.
see today the first artwork for the Film
Silent Storm follows an enigmatic outsider (Riseborough) living on a remote Scottish island, who finds herself caught between her minister husband(Lewis ) and the delinquent who is sent to live with them.
picture source: westendfilms.com
EXCLUSIVE: Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions has acquired North American rights and multiple international territories to Corinna McFarlane's directorial debut The Silent Storm. Territories acquired include the UK, France, Spain, Germany, Italy and Australia/New Zealand.
Starring Damian Lewis (Homeland) and Andrea Riseborough (Oblivion), Silent Storm follows an enigmatic outsider (Riseborough) living on a remote Scottish island, who finds herself caught between her minister husband and the delinquent who is sent to live with them.
The film was a rare non-James Bond feature to be executive produced and financed by 007 custodians Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson and Eon Productions.

Silent Storm
A Scottish island is the location for this taut and claustrophobic drama of a young wife, suffering under the yolk of her bullying minister husband, who finds consolation in a new arrival.
On a remote Scottish island before World War II, Aislin (Andrea Riseborough) lives with her minister husband Balor (Damian Lewis). He is a man of sudden and violent mood swings, and stern religiosity. Aislin finds consolation from his attitude of wrathful disapproval in the stark beauty of the surrounding countryside. With the other islanders leaving for the mainland in droves, the couple are joined by a Glaswegian youth (Ross Anderson), entrusted to their care by a religious charity.
Balor is initially suspicious of him, but Aislin recognises a kindred spirit in this sensitive young man and their relationship deepens when her husband has to leave the island.
Marking Corinna McFarlane's feature debut after her codirected 2006 documentary Three Miles North of Molkom, this domestic melodrama is a tale of sweeping emotions and grandly realised landscapes, featuring full-blooded performances from Riseborough and Lewis.
He's famous for his fiery red hair.
But Damian Lewis has undergone a dramatic makeover for his role upcoming drama The Silent Storm – by completely shaving his head.
The 42-year-old actor showed off his new look as he got to work filming the love story on the Isle Of Mull in Scotland on Monday.
Homeland star Damian was virtually unrecognisable as he prepared to begin shooting the film, which also stars Andrea Riseborough.
Sporting a pair of sunglasses and black double breasted-coat over a black V-neck T-shirt, Damian's new appearance gave him a mysterious air.
The actor was seen driving his smart navy Jaguar in the village of Pennyghael about 3 miles from the secluded Carsaig Estate.
His car was later seen parked up on some grass just outside the village, as Damian is believed to have left the vehicle there because the road leading up to the set is so narrow and steep.
Shunning the usual modes of transport favoured by celebrities, Damian is believed to have arrived by ferry after travelling in from Oban.
The Secret Storm tells the story of an enigmatic outsider (Riseborough) living on a remote Scottish island who is caught between her commanding husband (Lewis) and a 17 year-old delinquent (newcomer Ross Anderson).

Fun At My Neighborhood Tractor Race [PHOTOS]
Its a day that my whole neighborhood looks forward to…Race Day!
Tractor Race Day, that is!
The whole thing started many years ago as a spur-of-the-moment idea of something fun for the kids.
Over the years, the race has grown to encompass kids of all ages…
…tractors of all sizes…
…and water balloons and "Super Soakers" are encouraged!
As more and more racing teams arrive…anticipation grows!
And, suddenly we hear the words we've been waiting for all year…
"Start your engines!"
Trust me…the roar of lawn tractor engines is deafening!
By the way, that's why a "thumbs up" signal is used to make sure that all racers are ready…with all that lawn-cutting horsepower, you can no longer hear any race instructions!
And, suddenly, the race is on!
Now, the racer's job is to follow all the twists and turns of the course…
…always jockeying for a better position…
…while your team mates "soak" the competition! Remember the water balloons and the super soakers? They add to the fun and frolic of this annual neighborhood event!
And while, once again, I did not win…(I won 2 years ago)…I placed respectably. Nowhere near the back of the pack, thank you!
Congratulations to Paul, who takes home the coveted Tractor Race Trophy for 2013!
And now, we turn our sights to next Memorial Day Weekend, when once again we will meet for the pre-race party…race for 5 minutes…and then party into the night.
Its the social event of the year in my neighborhood!


text: Right now at this very moment, there is a poll at ESPN.com that asks "which team will end up with the last playoff spot in the Eastern Conference?". I checked about four minutes ago and it was 50-50 with 19,198 votes. Then I checked a few minutes later and it said 49 Pistons, 51 Bulls with 20,011. Come out and vote your Pistons on!!! Just scroll to the bottom. Someone may be able to post a link directly to the poll. ESPN is not allowing me to (probably so I won't vote twice). ESPN: The Worldwide Leader In Sports

In C Remixed
In C Remixed from Le Poisson Rouge (November 8, 2009)
Cued Up on Q2, continues with a November 8, 2009 evening hosted by Radiolab's Jad Abumrad at (Le) Poisson Rouge with Todd Reynolds and Michael Lowenstern of Slow Boys and Bill Ryan's Grand Valley State University New Music Ensemble performing Terry Riley's In C with Dennis DeSantis remixing live.
In C Remixed is also the title of an ambitious project by Bill Ryan and his GVSU New Music Ensemble in which composers such as David Lang, Nico Muhly, Mason Bates, and Daniel Bernard Roumain pay musical homage with their own variations on the defining moment in 1964 when Terry Riley's In C premiered.
Jad -- who is also a contributor to In C Remixed -- opened the evening with the story behind his discovery of In C, which was for him "the first new music piece that actually had joy."

And, jeez, the creators of this tab really want to redefine the meaning of the word "thin" - we can't help but point out it's a wee bit thinner than anything else that has been announced in the tablet market so far - both the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 stand at 0.34, while the OGT Tablet is only 0.27. Impressive.
These things aside, the OGT Tablet will also offer two cameras - a 5MP rear one and a 3MP front-facer, as well as a microSD card slot. Both 3G and Wi-Fi versions of the tab will be available, and you will be able to choose between 32GB and 64GB models.
So far, so good, really. We don't know about you, but we are really waiting for the official announcement of the OGT Tablet.

Nervous About Tummy Tuck - Las Vegas, NV
I have been debating on a tummy tuck since 2009. At one point I was so ready and the Friday before the surgery I called the Surgeon's office and canceled. Luckily he refunded all the money but $500 for blood tests. Now two years later I am ready to do it. I went from 115 to 222 pounds after I had my second child. They are now 8. I had them 10 months apart. After that I had 3 miscarriages.... READ MORE

Thank you so much. I would have never imagined I would ever get these great results. Part of the reason why I decided to go through with the surgery is because of this website. I felt as if everyone was there for me. READ COMMENT
I didn't have any lipo done. I did ask about it a few days before surgery but it was $3500 and that was a bit too much so I decided to not do it. The doctor said I really wouldnt need it. So far I am happy with the results. I think... READ COMMENT

The following information is intended to help answer some common questions about gifts of securities. For questions about how a gift of securities would be treated in your personal financial situation, we encourage you to seek the counsel of your own professional advisers. Barnard College cannot provide personal accounting, tax, or legal advice.
A. According to IRS requirements, donated securities are valued at the average between the highest and lowest selling prices for the securities on the gift date. The gift date (i.e., the date a gift of securities is considered complete) is the date that the securities pass unconditionally from your control.
Please note: By law, a gift of securities is not considered complete until you have relinquished control of the securities as outlined above. Giving instructions to your broker does not constitute completion of a gift. If you write a letter of instruction to your broker on December 27, but the securities are not transferred until the following January 2, the gift date is January 2.
A. For those who itemize their federal income tax deductions, the full fair market value of a gift of appreciated securities that have been held for more than one year (long term) constitutes a charitable contribution in the year the gift is made. Charitable deductions for gifts of capital gain property, like stocks, are limited to 30% of your adjusted gross income. Any excess amount not claimed in the year of the gift may be carried forward for five additional years.
If the donated securities were held for one year or less, your charitable contribution is equal to your cost basis in the securities.
A. If you own securities that have depreciated in value and you have reason to use the depreciated asset to make your gift, it is generally better not to donate the shares themselves. Rather, you might want to sell them yourself, establish a tax loss, and then donate the proceeds to Barnard. Consult with your advisers before moving forward with a gift of this kind.
A. Securities gifts may be made outright to Barnard or used to fund a life income plan with the College (for example, a Charitable Gift Annuity, Charitable Remainder Trust, or a contribution to the Pooled Income Fund). A life income arrangement would generate payments—often greater than stock dividends—to you and/or others for life or a set term of years. With a life income gift, funds become available for use by the College when the life income arrangement ends.
A. Barnard would be pleased to arrange for a stock certificate or bond to be divided in the event you wish to give fewer than the number of shares or bonds the certificate represents. If you are holding the stock certificate or bond, simply send it to us in accordance with the transfer instructions for mailing stock certificates and indicate in your cover letter your social security number and the number of shares (or the dollar amount of the bonds) you wish to donate. A bank or brokerage firm must guarantee your signature on the stock or bond power. Barnard will arrange for a new bond or certificate for the remaining shares to be issued and returned to you, and will contact you for additional information if required by the corporation or transfer agent.
A. Yes, but please note that mutual fund shares may not be transferred through the DTC system. This means that they cannot be transferred electronically to Barnard's account at JPMorgan Chase. If you are considering a gift of mutual fund shares, please call Audra Lewton in Planned Giving at 212.870.2534.
A. You may indeed make gifts of closely held stock and other securities that are not readily marketable, and, in doing so, you may realize many tax advantages. Since these gifts involve special handling, you are urged to call Audra Lewton in Planned Giving at 212.870.2534 to explore the alternatives for structuring your gift.
If you are planning to make a gift of securities, please contact Yvette Edlow in Barnard's Development Office:
Call 646.745.8301
Fax 646.745.8300

Greenville Classic tourney partially on for weekend
GREENVILLE — The Greenville Classic softball tournament is still on — somewhat.
According to Greenville Parks and Recreation Director Kris Berry, the co-ed tournament has been canceled due to lack of interest. The men's tournament will continue.
"We have five teams for the Saturday men's," Berry said, noting it was down one team from last year.
Berry said a new date may have had something to do with the drop.
"We did change the date this year and I don't know if that had a factor or not," she said. "We're just competing with a lot of tournaments. We have teams that don't travel to tournaments and those are the teams we're seeing in this tournament."
The tournament will be a double-elimination tournament. But there will be a twist to it.
"Something new we're trying for this tournament is unlimited home runs, but all over-the-fence home runs will be doubles," Berry said. "Some of the teams wanted to have the ability to hit more home runs."
In previous years, the rule for home runs was a team could hit a maximum of two plus one more than the other team.
Berry said the change will open up the games.
"By limiting the home runs it forces them (teams) to play more of a defensive game," she said. "It gives an advantage to the team that doesn't have powerhouse hitters. By making unlimited homers and making it doubles it makes it more of an offensive game."
Still, with the number of local competitors on the field, that will make for a good tournament, according to Berry.
"I think it's going to be competitive," she said. "There are players that play in the league competitively. There are some players that don't play in the ASA (American Softball Association). Since it's not an ASA tournament I think that increases the competitiveness a little bit. But it will be mostly (class) C and below players."
The tournament will start at Alan G. Davis Park at 9 a.m. with the championship game at 1 p.m. There will be a second championship game at 2 p.m. if the team that loses the 1 p.m. game suffered their first loss of the tournament in that game.

Nollywood movie streaming platform, iROKOtv recorded significant growth in its first month of launch, as visitors turned to the platform to watch Nollywood movies for free.
The platform which launched on December 1, 2011 attracted 962,000 visitors and 4,971,000 page views with about 20,000 unique views daily during the month of December.
Its parent company, Iroko Partners has had a blockbuster year launching arguably the three most exciting platforms in Nigeria's Internet entertainment space, iROKOtv.com, iROKtv and iROKING.com.
According to the platform's founder, Jason Njoku,
"Over 2011, Iroko Partners generated approximately 152 Million views (views = people pressing play) across our NollywoodLove, YorubaLove and short-clip channels. We anticipate that will grow to 300 Million+ views across YouTube for 2012, especially with the launch of our E! Entertainment for Nigeria, iROKtv."
The company achieved these remarkable results without any marketing campaign whatsoever, although it has plans to launch a massive marketing campaign in 2012.
It'll be interesting to see what the company's platforms' growth would look like by year-end 2012.

In an area where several transports links - such as Iglesia metro station - are minutes away from your front door, traveling around will be very easy, also easy is finding the several typical restaurants, cafes and stores that will provide you your daily needs. One os the closest universities is the Facultad de Ciencias de la Documentación, placed minutes away.
This apartment has three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a bathroom and a WC. Thanks to its well-lit space that provides a pleasant atmosphere and to the modern and well-equipped kitchen where we're sure you'll enjoy cooking, this place is truly a great pick.
So, now that you know how awesome this place is, go for it! We know you will love it!
You will be sharing this property with the landlady.
She is over 40 years old. Currently she is a professional worker.
Family also lives in the property.
Looks like no one had the time to review this place yet!
These conditions were defined by the Provider and are subject to change.
We have verified this property. We are still working on having the Landlord's contacts and documents fully verified.
Getting Around
Your new neighbourhood
Path to university
At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

Forgotten Land: Journeys Among the Ghosts of East Prussia
Neal Ascherson writes:
This book is, in large part, about people who at different times pretended that nothing had happened. About the men and women who had persuaded themselves that Hitler's Germany was a place where the Prussian virtues of fairness and self-restraint could still flourish, and who discovered their mistake too late. About the exiles for whom the East Prussia they lost but still see in dreams continues to exist on a plane beyond reality. But it is also about what did happen in this beautiful, brutally contested and colonised corner of Europe. Max Egremont, a graceful and practised writer, has taken pains to learn its complicated history; he has driven and tramped back and forth across the territory, now divided between three independent nation-states, and he has listened sympathetically to those who live there now and those – growing older and fewer – who lived there when Ostpreussen was German. He's modest, aware that a modern Brit cannot easily grasp what it means to live among changeable frontiers, but open about his own feelings. On the trams in Kaliningrad, 'over-burdened people make you feel ashamed to be rich and happy.'

About Me
Hi everyone!
Thank you for checking out my stuff!
I am a freelance photographer / videomaker based in the beautiful Québec City, Canada, but I travel very often to Montréal. My main areas of expertise are portraiture and concert photography.
I shoot concerts pictures and video interviews for the webzine MusikUniverse.net, the biggest of its kind in our province. I have also directed quite a few concert and music videos. My interest in the music scene has also brought me to shoot promo pictures of bands, which I like to do a lot.
I have also shot pictures for many local fashion designers, mostly in the goth scene. I'm looking to create an esthetic different of the overused gray seemless background fashion photography. Not that I reject its esthetic and those doing it, it is just not the type of stuff I tend to do. I'm more about location photography and overpowering the light there to create the look I want.

If you are close to an alcoholic in your life, chances are you have tried everything to get them to see that they have a problem and need to get help. People with drinking problems decide to quit for many different reasons. For some in may be the threat of losing their job, or getting in trouble with the law. Some quit because they have developed alcohol-related health problems.

Sometimes the families of alcoholics can play a role in the decision to quit, but rarely do emotional pleas or threats work. But as Ron explains, sometimes it is how the subject is approached that can make a difference.

Ron's Story

All of her nagging, cajoling, fits of anger, fits of depression, one intervention, threats, and all the rest went for naught except for the dubious accumulative effect it all had on me. Even though I loved her and my son dearly, I still needed the drink.

One day she came to me while I was still somewhat aware of my surroundings and in the most incredibly unemotional way I've ever seen anyone discuss such an emotional issue, she told me that she was done fighting with me; that she loved me and wanted me to get well, and she would support me in any real attempt I might make at getting sober, but that she could no longer stand by and watch while I killed myself drinking.

Completely Unemotional, Detached

She left the decision in my court by telling me to think about it overnight, and to let her know my decision first thing in the morning so she could pack and arrange for someone to pick her up. Then, she left me sitting there.

She was, as I said, completely unemotional about it. No judgments, no blame, no accusations, nothing except the facts that she was done and ready to move on if I wasn't going to get serious about quitting. I really think it was her detached attitude that got through to me. There was nothing to argue with, nothing for the alcoholic in me to grab onto as an 'out,' no wiggle room.

We still had a bumpy road for another six years or so, with at least two more relapses on my part, but that night was when I changed from wanting to want to get sober, to getting sober.

-- Ron

Learning Detachment

Ron's wife was able to have an influence on his decision to get sober because she had finally learned detachment, and how to look at the situation objectively without getting drawn into becoming part of the problem.

She also learned that she could make choices that were healthy for her - leaving if he didn't seek help - and this time it wasn't an empty threat. Participation in Al-Anon Family Groups can give you tools to help in dealing with the alcoholic in your life. In the meantime, reading these articles may be of help.

[This blog post is the 5th in a series about my quest for love and the lessons I'm learning along the way. If you'd like to start at the beginning, go here. If you missed the last post, go here.]
When I was in Utah, I was with some friends who were building a fire. They used some newspaper, a few sticks and a log. The fire started out blazing, but it quickly burned out because they didn't know to create a teepee of smaller kindling and gradually add larger and larger pieces of kindling and wood until the fire was prepared to handle a big log.
When their attempt failed, I said, "Here, let me help." I instructed everyone to gather small twigs, and we built a small tee pee and started the fire in the center of it. The fire took hold, and we gradually added larger and larger pieces until it was time to add a bigger log.
There's a point at which you know a fire is going to last. It's well before you've put the big log on the fire. It's way back at the beginning when the teepee catches fire and you're adding more fuel.
I believe creating loving relationships is like building a fire. It doesn't take much longer to create a lasting fire than one that will fizzle fast. You just have to have certain elements in place and put them on the fire in the right order.
Through trial and error, I have identified the following elements to a long-lasting intimate relationship. While the first 8 can come in any order, one should never risk flipping the order on 9 and 10. Think of #10 as the larger fuel that will smother your fire if you put it on before the other elements have given your fire a good start.
- Respect
- Shared Values
- Communication
- Caring and Kindness
- Connection
- Chemistry
- Love & Affection
- Trust
- Commitment / Investment
- Intimacy
While it's impossible for me to know everything about anyone in a few month's time. I know a good fire when I see one. My fiance and I have all the elements in place, and we're putting them on the fire in the right positions and the right order. Provided we continue to fuel the fire, it will continue to burn, creating coals and embers that last a lifetime.
A great relationship comes when two people are willing to invest in each other and in the relationship.
I love this quote by David A. Bednar:
"The word love is both a verb and a noun. I think sometimes we think, 'Well, I have to have the feeling (the noun) before I can start doing love (the verb).' It works both ways. Now, I don't want this to sound unromantic, but love (the feeling) follows love (the verb).
We find young people all over the world who think, 'I have to find the one, the true, the only; and more correctly, you have to become the one, the true and the only through what you do and what you become. You don't just sit around and wait to fall in love. You engage in love (the verb) and then love (the noun – the emotion and the feeling) is just remarkable. So I think you create it. You don't find it."
There's something important I learned about why men I dated didn't want to commit to me and why Chris did. This principle applies not only to dating, but also to life and business. If you have people in your life that won't step up, I'm really excited to share this concept with you. Click here to learn more.

Homelessness Fact Sheet for Middle School Students
National Alliance to End Homelessness
Fact Sheets | January 10, 2010
Files: PDF | 1.87 MB | 3 pages
Widespread homelessness didn't always exist; however, during the 1980s homelessness increased significantly. Now, on any given night, approximately 672,000 men, women, and children are homeless in the US.
The major cause of homelessness in the US is the lack of affordable housing. This deficit is caused by a low supply of inexpensive housing and low incomes which prevent households from being able to afford housing. This growing scarcity of affordable housing, combined with the deinstitutionalization of our most vulnerable citizens and a growing gap between earnings and the cost of living, has left hundreds of thousands of individuals and families homeless.
In response, the federal government created a $2 billion homeless assistance system. This system met the immediate food, shelter, and services needs of homeless people, but, after years of trying to make this system work, it became apparent that this system did not have the resources to end homelessness. Mainstream programs such as welfare, health care, housing assistance, and substance abuse treatment - the systems responsible for providing a safety net for poor people - were shifting the responsibility to the homeless assistance system.
This Fact Sheet is designed to help students in middle school understand the issue of homelessness. It uses simple language, basic facts, and suggests things young people can do to better understand the issue and help those in need.
Topics covered include:

Boileau joins Volunteers in Medicine board
BEND, Ore. - Volunteers in Medicine Clinic of the Cascades (VIM) announced Thursday that Michel Boileau, MD, has joined the organization's Board of Directors.
Boileau is the Chief Clinical Officer of St. Charles Health System. He is also in private practice on a limited basis at Bend Urology, where he has been since 1987.

Boileau joins current VIM board members: Cynthia Kane, PhD (Chair), Kate Dunning, Kurt Barker, Deb Davies, Bob Hakala, MD, Tanya Hayden, Steven Koski, Jim Lussier, John MacMillan, Jim Petersen, Rod Ray, PhD, Dan Stevens and John Teller, MD.
