Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hi and welcome to our site!Considering your situation - you do qualify to exclude the canceled debt as "qualified real property business indebtedness" No need to verify insolvency - still you will need the tax attribute reduction - means the basis should be reduced by the amount of debt forgiven.No need to report income on 1040 line 21.Use Form 982 - www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f982.pdf - specifically - for rental property - check the box 1(d) - Discharge of qualified real property business indebtedness , and put the forgiven amount on the line 2 and on line 4 and line 10a. The line 10 is specifically to reduce the basis.
The sale price in your situation is what the property is sold for $89,067The FMV is used as a sale price if the property is foreclosed - but since it was actually sold - you have a sale price.Your adjusted basis should be reduced by the amount of debt forgiven that is excluded from taxable income 220,702 - 152,338 = 68,364You will use these values to report the sale transaction on form 4797
So - you will have a gain $89,067(sale price) MINUS 68,364(adjusted basis) = $20703and because the gain is less than accumulated depreciation - the full amount will be attributed to depreciation recapture - that will be calculated on form 4797.If you have any rental losses (including rental losses carried from previous years) - these losses will be fully deducted.
I thought there were certain requirements to use the qualified real property business indebtness & that the basis reduction had to be on property owned right after the sale nt on the property sold.
If the debt is related to the property - the basis of THAT property is adjusted by the amount excluded.
For Qualified Real Property Business Indebtedness - see page 7 in this publication - http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p4681.pdf
Qualified property. This is any property you use or hold for use in your trade or business or for the production of income, including rental income.Thus rental property is a Qualified property for that purposes.
Do I have to show the adj. of 152,338 separate on form 4797 or just show 68,364 on column f?
You will use 68,364 - and may (while not required) attach a statement how that value was calcualted
Please be aware that if you have any selling expenses - these are added to the basis.
Thank you very much for your help. I think I got it.
You are welcome. Glad to be helpful.
Please take a moment to rate my answer - so I would be credited for the work done.My goal is to provide EXCELLENT service.If you need any help now or in future - be sure to come back and ask for clarification.
I just noticed that on page 7 of pub.4681 there is a note that the exclusion for Qualified Real Property Business Indebtedness does not apply if you were insolvent immediately before the debt cancellation.
That is correct. The sentence you mentioned is related to two different types of exclusion and priority in which they should be applied. However regardless which type of exclusion is claimed - you still need to reduce tax attributes - in your case that is the basis of the property.
There is also an exclusion limit of the amount of outstanding principal over the FMV in my case it would be 241,404 less 120,000=121,404
I am not clear - are you claiming an insolvency exemption or not?
I will if I need to, but the limit that I am referring to is if I claim Qualified Real Property. I just want to do the correct less complicated way.
Please provide a reference to instructions about the limit you mentioned.
It is on page 7 of pub. 4681 under Qualified Real Property the caption is labeled Exclusion Limit
So what is your question?
The fair market value is your sale price.
Fair market value (FMV) is the price that property would sell for on the open market. It is the price that would be agreed on between a willing buyer and a willing seller, with neither being required to act, and both having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts. If the property was sold on the open market - and not to the related party and without any considerations - the sale price is considered the FMV.
My question is that instead of excluding the 152,338 from income I can only exclude 121,404
That is based in the FMV is determined correctly.If you think that the property was sold for less than FMV - then you are correct.But I think that you are using not correct amount for FMV.
The property was sold for 89,067 but the FMV shown on 1099c is 120,000
I think that the FMV shown on 1099c is 120,000 is not correct.If the sale was approved by the creditor - it must be the best price they could get.So the sale price indeed is the FMV.If you have any doubts - you may ask the creditor to correct 1099C or attach a note to your tax return. But I do not think that is needed.
Thank you very much.
You are welcome.
I am trying to do the rating but it is not letting me.
Please try again

Chocolate chip sponge, covered in fondant with fondant models. Groovy number sparklers - shame I don't have a photo of them lit.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX may open lower on weaker oil, gold prices
May 10 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index looked set open lower, hurt by a drop in oil and gold prices, as investors cautiously awaited comments from U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on the possibility of continued monetary easing.
* German imports and exports rose in March slightly after falling the previous month in a further sign that Europe's largest economy is slowly pulling away from a contraction at the end of 2012 despite weakness in its euro zone neighbors.
* Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe scored another small victory as the yen broke below major support of 100 to the dollar, with analysts predicting further declines over the course of the year that would underpin the export-dependent economy. [ID: nL3N0DR081]
* ArcelorMittal rebounded from a very weak end to 2012 and forecast improvement in the coming months after rising steel shipments produced a higher than expected core profit.
* TMX Group LTD reported a better-than-expected profit for the first quarter and said revenue rose 6 percent.
* Britain's BT underlined its return to form ahead of its pending pay-TV battle with BSkyB , raising its outlook after improvements across the board helped it beat forecasts and send its shares soaring.

"But it hurts that while I was asked to step down without any legal grounds as they wanted to attack Sheila Dixit, for Gadkari, its baara khoon maaf. I asked them for just two days to step down as we were in the inauspicious month of Aashada. They did not give me even that," Yeddyurappa said in an interview to India Today.
Yeddyurappa was asked to step down as Chief Minister of Karnataka by BJP high command after former Lokayukta Santosh Hegde's report identified bribery charges against him.
The former Chief Minister of the state sent his resignation letter to BJP President Nitin Gadkari whom Yeddyurappa had accused of ditching him after not reappointing him to the CM position.
"The party has given everything to me. And I have sacrificed my life to build my previous party (BJP). I am leaving because of our own (BJP) people. They don't want me to continue in the party; that's why I am resigning from the primary membership as also MLAship," said Yeddyurappa.
All BJP leaders from his assembly constituency Shikaripura in Shimoga district stepped down to join his new party. "They mistook my goodness as a weakness," said Yeddyurappa while recalling the situation when he was asked to step down as CM by the party high-command in 2011 as a "disciplined soldier" of the party.
Yeddyurappa also urged MLAs and Ministers of the Karnataka Cabinet not to resign as he wants the Jagadish Shettar's government to complete its full term and he does not want to rock the boat.

Elijah-Quality Faith
11/28/2007 / Christian Living
Elijah said, "How long will you hesitate between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow Him." The same thing goes for Christ-followers: How can we follow Him as Lord unless we know Him as Lord? If we know Him as Lord, it will be irresistible for us to honor Him as Lord. There's no way around it.
The most dependable way to confirm that Jesus is Lord is to obey His direct commands right away and then continue thus until further notice. A genuine desire to obey Christ is useful; this way we'll stop and listen long enough to know what it is He is commanding us.
Obeying Christ is the method God prescribes to get to know Him better.
When we obey Christ we are expressing our sincere faith in Him. This is the most substantial way to say, "Yes, Lord, we trust that You know what You're talking about."
There is also no more substantial expression of our desire to learn more from Him than to act on what He is already saying to us. As we find out from experience that He is faithful and He knows what He is doing, we will continue with increasing eagerness to accept whatever grace He sees fit to give us.
Daily obedience is pure worship. Obeying Him, knowing Him, and worshiping Him are all very nearly the same thing... or, at least, we can't have one without the others. Knowing, worshiping and obeying Christ are unavoidably related to each other; they are all linked to our daily lifestyles.
We will worship the Lord better as we get to know His indescribable Fullness. We may know certain people better than others, but we must know the Lord more deeply than we have ever known any mortal if we want to worship Him effectively.
This should also encourage us to be open and truthful with Christ, because in so doing He will also open up His divine thoughts to us. This is another way of saying that Christ desires the whole package from us... infinitely more than pre-measured religiosity.
From the little glimpse of Christ I have seen thus far, I gather that He is pleased with a reality-embracing people. In other words, if we know the Inventor of this reality then we should also embrace whatever He defines as reality.
No longer should fear or insecurity dictate our estimations of the Almighty if we know Him even a little bit. The slightest glimpse of Him should teach us all that we need to know... that the Lord is God.
We will obey Christ best when we embrace a humble, expectant, unshakable confidence in His Divinity. His greatness should be common sense to us, to the point that we're not so shocked by His ability to shatter every barrier that shuts us out from His kingdom on earth. The Spirit of God is the One who can and will teach us the secret of powerful purity and ground-breaking faith.

Ryan Grizzle Black Elephant Holster and Black Elephant Double Mag Carrier
I have a gorgeous Black Elephant holster for an M&P9c and a matching Double Magazine Carrier.
I have never worn the mag Carrier. The Holster was worn about two months. It fits very tight and the 9c snaps in perfectly.
The only reason I am selling them is I installed an RM02 Red Dot Sight and thought the sight would be high enough to still work. Wrong.
I ended up buying a Kydex holster to help protect the sight. I did not call Ryan Grizzle about making one to fit because his turn-a-round time is 10 weeks and I wanted something asap since it was my carry gun.
I want $185 for both shipped in the US. I have never sold on the forum before but have a 100% positive rating on the lxforums.com and the Cherokeesrt8.com forums. I have included a picture of the back of the holster and mag carrier showing the Ryan Grizzle seal.
I want to sell both together and not break them up. They are both from the same hide so they match.
Any questions e-mail me at: email@example.com
I accept Paypal at: email@example.com

Which Value Strategies Worked for 2012?
Posted by: GuruFocus (IP Logged)
Date: January 4, 2013 03:55PM
Now we have rebalanced all the model portfolios. We would like to review these strategies and see if they really work. Our goal is to promote the investing strategy that made Warren Buffett the richest person in the world. We believe that high quality growing companies at reasonable prices are the best places to invest. We rank companies by their business predictability and our value strategies only invest in companies that rank high with business predictability.
Besides the basic requirement of business predictability, we also filter for companies that are financially strong and traded at reasonable valuations by measurements such as intrinsic values and common used ratios. The four value strategies we have focused on use different valuation ratios.
1. Buffett-Munger screener: Invests in predictable companies that have low debt, consistent profit margin and are traded at low P/E to growth ratios.
2. Undervalued Predictable Companies: Invests in predictable companies that are undervalued based on DCF model.
3. Historical low P/S: Companies that have high predictability rank, but traded at historical-low P/S ratios.
4. Historical low P/B: Companies that have high predictability rank, but traded at historical-low P/B ratios.
These are the historical performances of the strategies relative to the S&P 500. All numbers do not include dividends.
Among all four value strategies, "Undervalued Predictable Companies" had the best overall performance. However, most of the outperformance came from 2009 and 2010, when the market was relatively cheap and it was easier to find undervalued stocks.
The Buffett-Munger strategy, where we invest in companies that have a strong balance sheet and the "moat" that protects them from margin erosion, shows the most consistent performance. It has outperformed the market in 2009 through 2011, and underperformed slightly in 2012. On average it outperformed the S&P 500 by 5% per year.
The strategies of investing in companies with high predictability ranks at historical low P/S and P/B ratios had similar performances over the past three years. These strategies lagged the market slightly in 2011, but outperformed in 2010 and 2012. On average, they outperform the market by about 2% per year.
We would like point out that even with the strategies that will work well over long term, it is impossible to find a strategy that will outperform the market ALL the time. While the strategy of investing in high quality companies at reasonable prices works, market can be carried by irrational emotions for years.
As mentioned before, we have just rebalanced all the portfolios. It is the time to rebalance your portfolio and invest in high quality companies at reasonable prices with these strategies.

I'm piss poor at delegating. Delegating means trusting someone else would be invested enough in your vision to do a good job at whatever task they're handed. And this is something I've struggled with a lot in the past. So I usually end up buried under work for days which I could easily have subcontracted out.
My Google RSS feed has laid dormant for months while hundreds of unread blog posts still come streaming in daily. I sometimes feel guilty that I can't follow up as regularly as I would like to with my favorite people and friends in the blogosphere. With age, I've realized I can't read everything. I can't follow everyone. I can't comment on every post, and that's okay. That doesn't mean I don't fully appreciate or respect their work and talents.
It's just a surefire way to burn out before even tending one's own business.
Welcoming Candace
I first met Candace Rose Rardon at TBEX Europe in Copenhagen, and there was this genuine aura about her – her warm eyes, her bright smile – that were welcoming and comforting. I instantly liked Candace and would later work with her through various travel writing channels. Candace is an excellent writer and talented artist – check out her blog and travel sketches. I've been a fan of her work for a long time. I love the way she writes about travel – about place – and how she truly connects across multiple levels as she travels.
A clear indicator that she's willing to invest; to go that extra mile to understand a place and connect with its people.
I'm beyond honored to have her on-board. From now till December, Candace and I will be working on a few travel and social media projects and she'll be helping keep my company and comic strip accounts, @GeotravelMedia and @OfficeSuppliesC respectively breathing and alive while I clear out pending assignments, secure more travel assignments/partnerships, and start up the comic strip again.
More importantly, I'm looking forward to learning from Candace and to be continually inspired by her, her travels, and her work.

Do German shepherds have wolf in them?
I'm wondering.
Please note that wolves are not aggressive animals - they get a bad rap. They are timid animals, who prefer to live in a quiet little pack, away from humans. They are very loyal to each other, and they mate for life. They are the best parents to their pups :) And they are very, very beautiful.
Sincerely, the mom of two perfect Shepherds :) lol!
ETA: Jeepycurls, please weigh in on this!

Oh wow this thread is freaking me out. Just a few hours ago I saw a German Shepard and thought about how they look more like their canine/wolf cousins than most other breeds. Stay outta my head...
Funny little factoid based on ages of breeds, the shih tzu is more closely related to wolves than german shepherds are.
No they tend not to have wolf in them. Not if they're up to breed standards.
And he's gorgeous!
I love German Shepherds.
1 Attachment(s)
Here are my two, so you can compare. They both have strictly German lines:
ETA: I forgot to say, your dog is lovely! :)
If I knew how to get photo's (proper ones from the olden days!) on to a computer I'd show you my dear departed shepherd. Nothing like a wolf, and nor does yours look like one.
No more than any other dogs.
I grew up with a German Shepherd. She was the sweetest, and a big old chicken.
I want a German Shepard soooo bad! When I get a house I'm definitely going to get a baby/puppy one and raise it. I've always liked them because them seem so sweet but at the same time they can scare ppl and protect my house :)
The store around the corner from me had this huge old German Shepard and it was very sweet, I even pet it once. Every since then, I've wanted one.
How much does one usually cost?
Sent from my Desire HD using CurlTalk App
I always wanted a coydog. There's a lot of people around here who unfortunately don't have their pets fixed and with the local wildlife, well.... And coyotes are awesome. Too bad that inclusion of wild dog genes can cause behavioral problems.
Thanks :)
I had a German Shepard growing up and he was such a nice dog. He looked very American I guess - I'm kinda jealous of your very cool looking Shepard op!
ETA: No I guess he was very German looking lol, looked a lot like Knotty_Maddy's dog on the left :)
Sheppies are great! :D I hope you eventually have another one, SpiralS!
BTW mine were originally from breeders, but ended up in the Rescue dog house...
I love GSDs, but every one I've known had a tendency to be really smelly and bad shredders - is that common ? I've also considers Belgian Malinois.
I think GSDs are the most perfect dogs...except for the horrendous shedding. That's the only reason i don't own one.

IMO Americans that set Old Glory on fire needs themselves to be set on fire. :firedevil: If you don't like the USA as my mother would say when I was 3 "use your words".
As for the guy in the article...He is the type of gun owning person who puts forth a bad image of we responsible and law abiding gun owners. There was no need for his actions.
IMO he has a child mentality for the law. Sort of like when the parent says you better not touch your brother so you instead wave your hands around his head and say "I'm not touching you! I'm not touching you!". You may not be touching him but the annoyance will still get you a swat. :twak:
This isn't the first occurrence. He was walking down the street with a percussion cap pistol in hand. He was stopped by police. You pull that **** here in Ohio and you are in a heap of trouble. The only time you should be holding your gun in your hand is if you intend to use it. You will be hit with a brandishing charge minimum.
Painting the muzzle of a firearm blaze orange, making it appear to be a toy, is not a good sign. Something is very wrong with this guy.
I am just tired of hearing about this guy. He went about a right thing the wrong way.
I have mixed feelings about pulling his permit, but if I was the judge I think I would pull em!!:aargh4:
As far as painting the tip orange, this may not be illegal but since toys are required to be painted orange I would think it should be illegal. At worse it might cause an officer to hesitate to shoot because he is unsure if a suspect is armed with a toy.
There was an earlier incident in which he was carrying (slung) an AK pistol in a state park and was accosted by a ranger.
Also...should anyone who does something with which you don't agree lose their permit?
Progress gets made by difficult people. I gets made by gadflys and questioners. It gets made by people who as the Tea Party folks make noise (much as I don't agree with them). It gets made by flag burners as well when they raise our collective consciousness to an injustice. It gets made by kids who wear arm bands to school and deliberately violate some dress codes that are moronic and designed to stifle free speech.
I don't think there's a thing wrong with the guy. I do think he is absolutely calculating in the way he is going about tweaking the authorities on hypocritical gun laws.
Many in the civil rights era of the late 50s and early 60s warned that things were being pushed too far too fast; that there would be an inevitable backlash, that demonstrators and protesters, and freedom riders, would keep justice from coming about instead of pushing justice forward.
Maybe the guy is a deranged idiot, but he has not been arrested or charged, and there appears to be no basis for lifting his license other than retribution for giving some people in authority a red face.
As for painting the tip of the gun red, that was wrong, but it is apparently mostly custom and not law that real guns should not have the barrel tip painted red. There is a big difference between a law that says toy guns must have the barrel tip painted red, and a law that says real guns must not have the barrel tip painted red.
I want him pilloried for aiding and abetting the Brady Bunch.Quote:

Sorry PaxMentis, but your question/statement is completely and totally specious to an incredible degree: There is obviously a huge difference between what this cretin did as compared to whether we would agree that someone should lose his CCW because he was carrying/not carrying a chambered round, or CCW'ing with a mouse gun, or carrying/not carrying OC spray, or using/not using his manual safety, or some other equally its-really-none-of-our-personal-business opinions, since these issues do not directly affect us, nor do they affect our privilege to carry a concealed weapon.
Certainly, even with your declared Pax Mentis (peace of mind), you must see the difference?
-Bill :tired:
PS: In other words, this gun toting idiot's behavior, and those like him (if there are any others this clueless), are a black eye to us all in the mind of the average citizen (and the typical middle-of-the-road politician). Not good. :twak:
Hypothetical Example: Let's say that an average law-abiding citizen named Fred is a member of a public forum and he posts pictures of silhouette targets he has shot and ballistic tests he has conducted in gelletin. Both of these activities are legal. What would stop the entity (perhaps an anti 2A is now in that position) getting to decide with no objective criteria that since Fred practices shooting personlike shapes and has researched varying types and calibers of rounds in personlike gel that he has a desire to shoot a person, is dangerous to society, and should not have a CCP? He has broken no law, but in the opinion of the person deciding absent objective criteria, they think he is dangerous. Give an inch, and they will take a mile. It isn't that far of a leap...once a line is crossed, who gets to decide where it is re-drawn?
Another hypothetical example: Have you ever had a speeding ticket? What would keep an anti 2A entity in a position to decide from saying, "Either this person lacks the intelligence to or consciously chose to break a simple law such as speed limit that is posted every quarter mile. Therefore, how can they be trusted to know and obey the very serious laws regarding firearms and defense and shouldn't have a CCP." Again, give an inch, and they can take a mile. It isn't far fetched for some antis to make such a leap.
If you think these are far fetched hypothetical examples, remember that in this situation he was open carrying....and they took his concealed carry permit. That would still not prevent him from continuing to OC. One is not related to the other. Something to think about.
I personally think that people like youself who are willing to accept the assertion that carrying a gun is a privelege validly subject to bureaucratic whim are far more dangerous to the 2nd Amendment than anyone who carries a gun perceived as "evil" or who points out the foolishness of an archaic law by following it.
The "cretins" who believe that we must be careful not to offend the tender sensitivities of of those who would attempt to deny our rights are incredibly short-sighted and have no appreciation for (or understanding of) the lessons that history teaches.
Mr. Embody acted strictly W/ in the law in both incidents. There's nothing in either story that suggests that he threatened or endangered anyone.
I don't see any reason to revoke his permit. Either the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed or it shall
Which is it?
This guy's actions could have easily been that of an Anti and y'all would be ripping him on this forum. (not that most of y'all aren't) Imagine if he were an Anti and did the same things and went on an Anti forum and got applauded for bringing guns in a negative light.
Then, this forum would have gotten hold of it and rip him. But because he poses as a gun rights advocate, his **** don't stink. I'm pro-firearms but I'm also anti-stupidity.

How to make free computer check?
Many people do not realize the importance of computer check, but the fact is that the issue of awareness of computer check is crucial. Few people could assure that they are quiet familiar with the configuration of their computer, such as computer CPU model, computer memory, system status, etc. It would be difficult of you to solve computer problems when they occur if you do not know much about your personal computer. According to the research proposed by an authoritative anti-virus software company, 96.5% of computers around the world are infected by viruses and spywares. Viruses and spywares makes computer unsafe and your privacy might be exposed in the Internet. In addition, with the accumulation of garbage files, computer's operating speed becomes slower and slower, and sometimes these invalid files could cause computer crash.

My class on The Great Transformation has been going through The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism the last two weeks, which has led me to think about the work in some depth. One thing that has struck me is that most of the criticisms of the work that I have run across are fairly shallow (I'm not saying deeper ones don't exist, only that there are plenty of shallow ones out there), in that, often, their critiques are things that Weber already addressed in the original book!
There is a good history of thought paper to be written here, with a target journal like the AJES. I'd like to find a co-author who would want to help with the research into popular critiques of Weber's thesis. Get in touch with me in the comments section at my blog, on Facebook, or via e-mail if you are interested.

BADEN, Switzerland (June 4, 2014) – ABB Turbocharging announced it celebrated the
opening of a new service facility in Fredericia, Denmark. The ceremony also
marked the completion of the amalgamation of its activities in Norway, Denmark and Sweden into a single Local Business Unit (LBU).
"With Turbocharging Scandinavia we merge three rather small units in Norway, Sweden and
Denmark into a common, more powerful organization served by a well-integrated team with focus on customer needs across entire Scandinavia," said LBU Manager Joachim Bremer.
ABB Turbocharging Scandinavia comprises Service Stations in Oslo and Bergen in Norway, Göteborg in Sweden and the new central workshop for Denmark in Fredericia. Additionally, the company has two service engineers and a sales team stationed in Copenhagen. This geographical footprint will soon be furthered by a new service point in Tromsø, northern Norway.
ABB Turbocharging in Scandinavia will comprise 40 staff in six locations. "Being close to our customers with local-to-local execution of services and sales remains our focus," Bremer said. "Service coordination for Norway will be performed by a team in Oslo while a joint team in the large Service Station in Göteborg will manage the service activities for Denmark and Sweden."
According to Bremer, Fredericia is an excellent location that allows all locations of Denmark to be reached in two to three hours.
"The location also has the additional advantage of being an established and a big ABB site, where there are a considerable number of ABB employees in the large workshop site, with excellent logistics and more facilities. The turbocharging workshop also meets high safety standards as required for our service operations," Bremer said.
As home to leading ship owners, including the globally active container market leader AP
Møller-Maersk, Denmark is a major shipping nation. Denmark's power generation grid includes decentralized power and cogeneration plants based on piston engines.
As well as inaugurating the new ABB Turbocharging location in Fredericia, the celebration was a chance to inform customers of the Scandinavian reorganization.
ABB Turbocharging manufactures and services turbochargers for 500 kW to 80 or more MW diesel and gas engines.

Netflix has launched multiple user profiles within a single Netflix account, allowing individual viewers to build their own customised service.
Starting today August 1, Netflix subscribers can create up to five distinct profiles for themselves and their families, which will allow the TV series and film streaming service to offer personalised viewing suggestions for each user.
The multiple profile rollout starts today across the world with all users expected to gain access to the new feature within the next fortnight.
"We continually innovate and are proud to deliver an even better, more personal Netflix experience", said Neil Hunt, Chief Product Officer for Netflix. "Now everyone in your home can have their own Netflix experience, built around the TV shows and movies they enjoy. No longer will your Netflix suggestions be mixed up with those of your kids, a significant other, roommates, or house guests."
Each Netflix profile can be tied to a Facebook account to share their viewing activities but also to gain recommendations from their friends on the social media site.
"With profiles, TV show and movie suggestions on Netflix will be specific for each person," said Eddy Wu, Director of Product Innovation at Netflix. "Not only can you have a different profile for each member of your family you can add one for a combination of watchers or even for different moods. You can add up to five profiles at any one time."
However, despite the global rollout starting today, Android and Wii U owners will have to wait until later in the year. The Nintendo Wii U update will occur in mid-June while the Android version is still tba, sometime "later in the fall".
"There will be a delay on Android and part of this is resources within the profile team," said Wu, speaking to TechRadar. "There is stuff going on with Android, in that world, that we can't really talk about just yet."

Every skier knows what it's like to call a few friends, pack up, and head out for a trip. Rather than spend another winter chasing storms, five of the top pros and their closest pals embark on their own interpretations of a "trip of a lifetime," taking them deep into new and uncharted territory. Sean Pettit ventures further in his home turf of British Columbia. Watch as he trades the comfy cat lodge for a glacier camp – finding unexpected sources of fun in the backcountry. Pep Fujas pinpoints a remote AK lighthouse to use as a home base, where he launches a heli expedition and finds fresh terrain to attack. Karl Fostvedt takes urban skiing to a whole new level by spending his time searching for the perfect jib, drop and jump amidst the concrete jungle that is Detroit. Julien Regnier is found trekking the grueling 100km historic high alpine route between Chamonix, France and Zermatt, Switzerland. Finally, Bobby Brown brings the crew back together for a spring session to wrap a season that won't be soon forgotten. Tracing Skylines follows these five skiers on some incredible trips.

BEIRUT — Syria's president said in an interview broadcast Friday that his country is not in a state of civil war, and that he has no regrets about any decisions he has made since the uprising against him began nearly 20 months ago.
Instead of civil war, Assad said, Syria is facing "terrorism through proxies," referring to foreign backing of the rebellion against his regime.
In a sign of relentless ferocity of the conflict, a surge of more than 11,000 Syrians crossed into Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon in a 24-hour period to flee violence, a Turkish official at the government's crisis management centre said Friday. The new exodus raises to 120,000 the number of Syrian refugees in Turkey, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with government rules.
Syria's uprising began in March 2011 as mostly peaceful protests against Assad's rule, but as rebels took up…

Although drivers were the biggest single gainers from the £5bn-plus package, the chancellor tried to set the tone for the forthcoming poll by boosting spending on schools and hospitals - and then challenging the Conservatives to match the increases.
However, he also sought to hedge his bets with a three-pronged approach: £2bn to appease last autumn's fuel protesters with reductions in petrol and diesel duties and cheaper excise licences, slightly less than £2bn on tax cuts mainly aimed at those on low incomes, and £1.8bn on higher public spending. All taxpayers will benefit from the widening of the 10p income tax band.
The chancellor said his package, the most generous since Nigel Lawson's 1988 Budget, could be afforded because the strength of the economy had given him scope to spend more and tax less while maintaining his pledge to repay government debt at record levels.
Tory MPs sat in stunned silence as Mr Brown's 52-minute speech painted a golden economic picture - in which inflation, interest rates and unemployment were at their lowest in a generation - and sought to underpin Labour's already huge opinion poll lead by offering help to a broad range of groups from smokers and drinkers to churches and sports clubs. The chancellor promised £1bn for inner-city renovation, VAT changes to permit free museum access, and extra help for Britain's film industry. He also abolished tax on gambling.
Rejecting William Hague's call for spending to be lower in order to finance across-the-board tax cuts, Mr Brown said: "Our priority has been and is Britain's public services. We will not cut investment but raise it."
Arguing that Conservative plans would result in spending cuts of up to £16bn a year, the chancellor added: "I have rejected this course for Britain's future not only because such deep cuts would move us from our long-term goals, and put hospitals at risk, but also because Britain must not repeat the short-termist mistakes of the 1980s: unfunded, unaffordable tax cuts, higher interest rates, cuts in necessary investment."
The chancellor targeted his tax cuts at the less well-off. A £5-a-week increase in the value of the working families tax credit, a boost from £8.50 to £10 in the new children's tax credit, together with an increase in the band at which income tax is levied at 10%, will leave a married couple with one earner and one child up to £1,200 a year better off if they are in the lower income groups. The same family with an annual income of more than £100,000 will be £132 a year better off.
Increases for health, education and crime-fighting mean real rises in public spending of 3.7% a year over the next three years, even higher than the 3.4% rises announced last summer. Although some City analysts said the overall size of the package was at the top end of what the economy could tolerate, reaction in the markets was muted. The Bank of England has the chance to give an instant verdict on the Budget today when it announces its latest decision on interest rates.
Mr Hague tore into the government as best as he could, complaining that the tax burden had risen from from 35.2% in 1996-7 to 38.2% this year. He accused Mr Brown of being the "10p up, 1p down chancellor" who had raised taxes by £28bn since 1997 - the equivalent of 10p on income tax. Mr Hague said the chancellor was like a thief "who steals your car and comes back next day to return your hub caps".
Charles Kennedy, the Liberal Democrat leader, and his Treasury spokesman, Matthew Taylor, took the opposite view, complaining of missed chances for higher spending on key services.
However, the chancellor's display of Labour's firepower prompted some MPs to predict that - despite the foot and mouth crisis - Tony Blair will not wait for a May 3 election, but call one almost immediately for April 5.
The chancellor announced an extra £1bn for headteachers - up to £15,000 for every school - and another £1bn for hospitals, between £500,000 and £1m per trust, in the fight to restore long-neglected services.
An additional £300m will be allocated over three years to help communities fight drug-related crime.
Mr Brown described his Budget as a response to a century in which the needs of children had been ignored. He announced £500m for an expansion of paid maternity and paternity leave and £1.2bn targeted at children in the poorest families - including a £1,000 "baby credit" from 2002.
Officials were less keen to emphasise the £1.9bn worth of cuts in petrol and vehicle taxes on smaller cars and lorries which Mr Brown confirmed after "consulation" since last November when militant hauliers were threatening renewed blockades if ministers did not heed their plight.

Beeswax (Cera alba)
Beeswax (Cera alba)
Beeswax (Cera alba) is the substance that forms the structure of a honeycomb. Bees convert nectar into wax, building honeycomb to store their honey. Ten pounds of honey produces one pound of wax. It has a honey-like aroma and can be distilled into a fragrance.
Like the honey it houses, beeswax has therapeutic properties of great interest to us. It is said to be particularly effective in healing bruises, inflammation and burns.
Beeswax gives a rich emollient quality to creams, which is very useful for dry skin. Deeply moisturizing, it also creates a waterproof barrier on the skin.
It was part of the first cosmetic cream, created by Greek physician, Galen, in 150AD. The cream consisted of beeswax and olive oil with water (or rose water) beaten into it. Because it cooled the skin, it was dubbed 'cold cream,' but it also softened and moisturized, too.
Oil and water combined, like in Galen's cold cream, helps to preserve the moisture of the skin better than pure oils. We use beeswax in our Ultrabland cleanser; the moisturizing properties of the wax works in combination with essential oils and water to remove excess dirt and dead skin cells to thoroughly and gently deep cleanse the skin.
We use beeswax in a honeycomb shape to top our Honey I Washed The Kids soap to both decorate and for its moisturizing properties. In combination with essential oils in the product, it will react with the water when you wash your hands and remove excess dirt.
We've added beeswax to our range of lip balms, Honey Trap, Whipstick and Lip Service. Its emollient properties help create a protective barrier and moisturize the lips.
Our Prince and Razorantium shaving creams contain beeswax for its moisturizing properties. It works in combination with essential oils and water to remove excess dirt and dead skin cells, ensuring a closer, cleaner shave.

Site not displaying properly
Don't know if it's just me and there's something I need to do, but the site is displaying really strangely for me and has done for three days now. Instead of all the pictures and graphics that usually show, I'm getting rows and rows of orange writing - like all the links are listed instead of displayed nicely. No ads at all either. Any idea what's going on? Have I done/not done something?
My go-to remedy when anything is wonky is to refresh cookies or check to see if the same thing is happening on another internet browser.
I somehow managed to miss your reply - sorry.
I've been on another computer and it's fine on there, but then every other site I go to is normal on this computer, so I don't know.
I'm not at all computer-savvy so I'll get someone to help with your suggestions, thanks!
Refreshed cookies but nothing changed. Suddenly today I'm back to normal, very peculiar! Hope it stays like this now.

There are a ton of Android apps out there -- 600,000 in the Google Play store alone, the company said at this summer's Google I/O conference -- but there are only a few that rise to the status of being a critical, everyday app for a lot of people. Without further ado, here are some of those that we defy you not to get hooked on.
[ Free download: How to craft a mobile-application strategy ]
Sweden-based Spotify had already become the go-to music streaming service for most of Europe for years before making its long-awaited appearance on American shores in 2011. Unsurprisingly, it's quickly become the default music player over here as well. The appeal is simple -- got a song you want to listen to? Here you go. Do it.
It's an obvious choice, but some obvious choices are obvious for good reason. Google Maps isn't without its problems, but it's far more mature and functional than anything else out there. Apple's struggles with its own in-house map app illustrate just how hard it is to do this kind of thing right -- if a company renowned for its fanatic attention to detail is having this much trouble, it must be difficult indeed.
Between official apps and third-party developments, there's no shortage of free (and paid) social media apps in the Android ecosystem. However, apps that centralize multiple social services under one roof are particularly useful, and the simple but feature-rich TweetDeck is one of the best out there.

#"How we'll watch election counts from now on? #ge11"
Traditional TV is playing a very small part in my watching of the Irish General Election 2011 outcome. But the TV is. This is a rough version of the sort of setup that will be the default in General Election 2015:
So a lot less of the "experts" repeating themsleves ad-nauseam for the next 72 hours:And a lot more crowd-sourced reporting, analysis and opinion:
And self-curation of information based on the groups that you or your trusted contacts create which are then filtered down to the subjects of interest:To be fair to RTE they have embraced Twitter wholeheartedly for the election. They have obviously learned quickly from the catastrophe of their recent IMF "bailout" coverage when they decided that the RTE Evening News reporting on an historic event was more important than just showing the event itself.
Now if only they'd consider Qik/Ustream to get video from every location, not just tweets. @lexia and others have shown in the past how powerful this can be, no matter how crappy the 3G or wifi.
I think the next steps for this type of coverage are split in two. On the one side you have news media who still have an important part to play in distilling down the firehose to manageable chunks for a large part of the population. There must be an opportunity there to build powerful curation tools for those guys. I could see Storyful being a key player here with providing not just the curated stories and curation service but the curation platform too.
On the other side you have us punters and I have to say I'm worried. New Twitter is an awful unusable mess. Seesmic is now off doing the Yammer thing inside big biz and Tweetdeck has just been bought and no-one knows what will happen next there. Does this mean innovation on the desktop is dead? My hopes for powerful filtering, mixing, re-mixing and curation tools for the end user are dead? Whilst mobile is perfect for day to day use and for tweeting, it is completely unusable for managing an information torrent like today.
Perhaps the next phase for end-users is the TV or what the TV will become. I still remember working in Philips Eindhoven as a student in the 80s when they were building the first PIP (Picture in Picture) TV sets. Two tuners, huge cost, major complexity. And it turns out no-one wanted it. Well that was then and this is now. We need PIP for 2011. The geek in me wants that to be Boxee. I'd love to be able to create my sets of home pages in Boxee. This is a rough approximation:
I think that's what Google were thinking of with Google TV except they forgot to hire a UI person before releasing it. Also, a remote control with 4000 buttons belongs in 1994. On Boxee I use up/down/left/right/enter/back.
Some believe that we'll all go multi-device whilst watching TV. Phone or laptop or Android tablet doing the web thing whilst the TV remains single-tasking single-programme. Where that does work is when you have multiple people watching the same show. As Twitter themselves have pointed out, they are helping to bring back the days of watching TV live instead of DVR'ed so that we can all bitch comment at the same time.
But for events like today, gimme Minority Report. Imagine General Election 2015 powered by Microsoft Kinect!

Shares to push to new highs
The Sun-Herald
Page Tools
Shares will push to new highs tomorrow following a firm lead from Wall Street on Friday night and with anticipation growing ahead of the start of the local profit- reporting season, experts say.
After two strong days, on Thursday and Friday, they believe tomorrow's gains could be muted, but they expect a rise of about 10 points to record levels.
CommSec chief equities economist Craig James says the coming profit-reporting season, which kicks off in earnest this week, holds the key to the future trading direction for local shares.
"The real test is about to come," he said. "But valuations for the sharemarket remain pretty reasonable - the ASX200 is on the P/E [price to earnings] of just over 15, against its decade average of over 17 - and we believe the big companies are going to deliver pretty good earnings results."
AMP Capital Investors head of investment strategy Shane Oliver expects the mining sector will report earnings growth of about 60 per cent, while manufacturers will see growth slow to about 10 per cent.
"We've had strong news from China, the economy is still booming," Dr Oliver said.

It's often difficult to measure for someone's custom armour in person. Getting things correct for the finest armour requires multiple measurements and multiple visits from the client unless there is a casting of whatever body part I need available. This is especially so for gauntlets, as the hand and wrist need to be measured in several positions. This only becomes more difficult through a distance. However, thanks to modern technology some of this difficulty is lessened. Photocopiers are our friends!
Most people can get easy access to a photocopier, either at work or at an office service place (such as Office Depot). And from there it's a simple thing to be able to take a few essential copies of your hand. Each of these copies gives an important measurement to make sure that a custom made gauntlet will fit properly and ensure the best protection available for the design.
When creating a gauntlet I need to be sure that it will cover the hand completely, move with the wrist, fingers, and thumb, and that it will not bind in any fashion. Granted some designs will give some binding and some won't fully cover every area of the hand. My favourite designs give the best compromise on those in their price range. Yes, I can make you a $2000 pair of gauntlets that will move completely with your hand, give a full range of motion and cover you extremely well. They will not be 100% historical (although to the untrained eye they will appear so). And they will be the best gauntlets you'll ever find!
But most people can't afford a $2000 pair of gauntlets. And there are reasonable compromises for less cost. The pictures here are what photocopies are needed in order to give that. The only one I am currently missing is one of the back of the the fingers extended, not including the rest of the hand. It's simple enough to send me the measurements of the length of each finger from the back of the knuckle to the tip.
Each part of the hand that has a yellow line on it should be measured and the measurements sent along with the photocopies, just for assurance. So what are you waiting for? Order your gauntlets today!

Israel launches military assault on Lebanon
Israel responded to the capture of two of its soldiers by Hezbollah, which carried out a raid across the Israeli-Lebanese border Wednesday morning, by opening up a second front in its military operations, launching missile and bomb attacks from the air and sea and sending troops into southern Lebanon.
The prospect of a full-scale war with Lebanon in the north coincides with escalating Israeli attacks across its southern border in the Gaza Strip. Several hours before the eruption of fighting between Israel and Hezbollah, Israel dropped a quarter-ton bomb on a house in Gaza City, killing a Hamas activist, his wife and seven of their nine children. Palestinian sources said a total of 20 Palestinians were killed in Gaza Wednesday as a result of Israeli military actions.
Three Israeli soldiers were killed in the cross-border Hezbollah raid, in addition to the two who were taken prisoner. Another four Israeli soldiers died in the initial incursion by the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) into southern Lebanon when an Israeli tank ran over a land mine. A fifth Israeli soldier was killed while assisting in recovering the tank, according to the IDF.
The death of eight Israeli soldiers is the largest single-day toll in many years, and it heightened the atmosphere of crisis surrounding the regime of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.
The response of the Israeli government was to threaten all out war against Lebanon. Olmert said the border raid by Hezbollah was not merely an act of terrorism, but "an act of war by the state of Lebanon against the state of Israel in its sovereign territory." He pledged to extract a "heavy price" through "very painful and far-reaching" action, and rejected a call by Hezbollah leaders in Beirut for negotiations on the release of Palestinian and Lebanese prisoners held by Israel in exchange for the return of the two captured Israeli soldiers.
Israel reportedly is holding 9,000 Arab prisoners. The vast majority are Palestinians, but there are also some Lebanese.

Hezbollah doesn't occupy Israel. Isreal once occupied Lebanon (and may still occupy a lower slice of it along Lebanon's southern border) and Hezbollah eventually drove Israel out.
Hamas doesn't occupy Israel. Israel occupies Palestine, and Hamas is a Palestinian resistance organization. Hamas, an orgainization that Israel originally once FUNDED to oppose and fight the PLO. OOOPS!
But HEZBOLLAH DID ROYALLY KICK ISRAEL'S ASS TODAY!
Hezbollah did a BEAUTIFUL job with precision coordination!
Hezbollah GLOATED and said that absolutely _NO_ Israeli military action would free the captured Israeli soldiers; that Israel DOESN'T HAVE the military option in this case. "No [Israeli] military operation will return them," Hezbollah said. The Israeli military later admitted that it had lost all hope of retrieving the captured soldiers with ground forces. Hezbollah said its guerrillas destroyed two Israeli tanks that attempted to cross the border into Lebanon on two different occasions Wednesday.
(Actually Hezbollah destroyed _SEVERAL_ Israeli military vehicles today! Those vehicles are still left hot and smoldering, toasted grey like charcoal, where they were destroyed. Hezbollah also wounded a number of other Israeli soldiers in addition to those Hezbollah killed and took as prisoners of war. HAIL the 'mighty' Israeli army!)
Poor little Israel. Sniffle, sniffle...

So now Israel has invaded Lebanon.
If we're to accept Israel's justification, why didn't the US invade Israel after the murder of Rachel Corrie?
What's Israel's real motivation? Ask yourself:
IF Israel and the U.S. were about to attack Iran or Syria, would Israel keep all its military hardware in Israel (inside the Green Line), where it would be an easier target for counterattack, or would it find excuses to move its weapons into the occupied territories and Lebanon, where Palestinians and Muslims would be de facto human shields?
IF Israel and the U.S. were about to attack Iran or Syria, wouldn't the most strategic location for Israel's ground forces be in the occupied territories, adjacent to many Muslim countries that might be tempted to come to Iran's aid (Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia)?

Lebanon invaded Israel- that was an act of war.
Re: Street celebrations in Arab lands- yep, just like they did on 9/11. They are the good guys, alright....

The US bombed Mexico City's airport, after a handful of farmers along the border pelted a US Border Patrol's SUV with watermelons causing it to overturn, killing two Border Patrol agents and wounding a third. President Bush immediately declared the senseless destruction of watermelons an act of war. In a defensive move, US naval forces seized Mexican oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, declaring them to be terrorist havens. Israel and the US filed an emergency petition with the UN Security Council for full seizure of Mexican watermelon plantations and oilfields.

Old Boat Nightmares #1
A few years ago I was seriously interested in a Pearson 10M that was on the market for a very reasonable asking price. I had looked it over pretty closelyor so I thoughtand I had picked up on a number of faults, none of which were serious enough to put me off.
Luckily, I had engaged surveyor Norm LeBlanc to check the boat over, and he found plenty more flaws. The biggest one can be seen in this photo. No, its not the awful bilge pump wiringthats easily fixedor the oily water in the bilgethats nothing unusual in boats that have been standing on shore for a while. Its the small crack in the floor, the athwartships member just above and to the right of the bilge pump. There is another one in the lower floor, just out of sight. Water would have gotten into these cracks and saturated the laminates and wood inside them.
This would have been a nightmare to repair. Cutting out floors and glassing in new ones is within the reach of a competent do-it-yourselfer, but this repair would have entailed first cutting out the Pearsons molded floor pan liner, and then replacing it after the floor repairs were completed. It takes a skilled glass guy to make a repair like that look good, and good glass guys are expensive.

dwarf hair grass
does anybody have hair grass for sale on here? i cant seem to find it anywhere for a decent price
What is a decent price? I got mine from eBay and paid like 12$ for 2 bunches (filled two of my tanks to max) w/ shipping.
I got some of mine on eBay as well from a seller/store in NJ. Decent prices if you can snag an auction. PM me and I'll shoot you some info if you want.
Petsmart usually carries it in their stores.
Petco has it for $6. Decent portion. I can't vouch for the quality, since mine melted (probably emersed, or not enough light.)
Emersed goes through some acclimation but it shouldn't all the sudden die on you. Petsmart sells emersed grass that is pretty much enough to space out on the bottom of a 10 gallon, this is 8.99.
They also sell potted dwarf hairgrass which is like 5.99 give or take a dollar or so.
The best bang for your buck has always been petco for me though.

LED lighting upgrade?
I am inspired by some of the great looking JK's I have seen on this forum. Most recently JKashat's storm trooper project. I have a Call of Duty MW3 special edition in black and I would like to start with upgrading the lighting.
I have decided on a few items but I could use some help figuring out the rest. I would like to have a uniform look with all the lighting being LED. Thanks in advance for your help!
1) Headlights - JW Speaker 8700 Evolution (black)
2) Fog lights?
3) Front turn signals?
4) Fender side markers? Prefer black or smoke color lenses.
5) Tail lights - In Pro LED, ruby red
I've been planning the same upgrade. I'd like all of the lights on the Jeep to be LED.
As far as headlights go this thread has some really good info. Little long but worth the read:
JKOwners.com - The community for Jeep JK Owners
For fog lights I'm looking at Duallys (Dually). Although it kind of depends on what type of bumper you have. I have a Rampage Recovery Bumper. They will fit inside the fog light holes in the bumper. The stock fog lights fit in the bumper, so I believe these would fit in the stock bumper as well.
For turn signals (size 3157) I'm thinking of going with Putco LEDs (LED 360° Premium Replacement Bulbs by PUTCO). They will fit in the same socket as the regular filament bulbs, no modifications needed.
The side marker lights (size 3157 as well) can use the same bulbs.
For the tail lights, Quadratec has some nice ones (In-Pro Car Wear LEDT-420C - In Pro Car Wear LED Tail Lamps for 07-13 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK - Quadratec). You can pick the background color.
The whole LED upgrade can be pricey. But I think It's worth it. The LEDs look great.
I'm not sure how the VisionX fog lights compare to the Dually's but I had them bookmarked as a possible upgrade.
Rebel Off Road: Vision-X LED Fog Light Upgrade for Jeep Wrangler JK 2007+ - YouTube
VisionX Jeep JK Factory Fog Light LED Upgrade Kit
The LED's above for turn signals are cool. Definitely a good option. I also found this: Recon LED's with smoked lenses. Recon Jeep Installation Instructions - YouTube - they sell them for the side and front turn signals.
I have the JW Speakers prior to the upgrade they did. I love them. The difference between mine and the new ones is, the new ones doesn't have the fan to circulate the heat to prevent the ice over, but the new ones don't require trimming. Hilldweller says the trucklites put out a better beam, but they do have an X from where the lights cross, and that would drive me nuts. I have no complaints about mine, other than I can't see how badass they look on while I'm driving.
LED fog lights is strictly vanity. I prefer the JW Speaker look in this case too. The trucklites are cheaper in both cases, and getting a harness to covert h13 to h4 with supplemental power from the battery is recommend for the headlights. It will eliminate flicker.
Blinkers and taillights fall into the same category as fogs. I want to do the JW Speaker fogs just to match the bad-assery. I wanted to do the marker/blinker but have yet to find a swap with enough positive reviews for me to pull the trigger.
The 90mm projector from rallylights.com have to best reviews from Hilldweller and really change the look of you headlight, and seem to be available in every lighting option, halogen, led, xenon, etc.
I have the truck lites... Love em. Put out a great beam and I like the white light. They do have a X (really V V pattern), but that doesn't bother me.
Good luck on the fogs. DO NOT GO DUALLY. I put in the regular (not D2) into my Rockhard bumper, angled all the way down and they are WAY too bright to be used as fogs. I could never turn them on if there were other cars around. Now I have bumper mounted AUX driving lights for when I would normally use high beams. The light is amazing but just too bright to be used as fogs.
After I do the SPOD thing, I may replace them with a set of Pilot PL360Cs I have lying around.
Good luck.
Thank you! You have all been a big help. I placed my orders today for all the lights. Woohoo!
I went with the Vision X fogs and Recon for the turn signals and the side markers. I ended up ordering the In Pro tail lights and 3rd brake light from Amazon. They were significantly cheaper than Quadratec. Also Quardratec's shipping charges are rediculous.
Thanks again!
JK LED Fog Light replacement bulbs
What about using the Dually D2's as fogs in the fog pattern? I wonder if that would help keep them more usable? Or throw and amber cover over them?
I went with duelly's for the fogs. Just put them in yesterday and will see what they look like this morning when I get off of work.
You will be most happy with the vison X fogs... If you use them with the stock headlights, you will definitely see the low quality of light the stock units provide.
The Vision X LED fogs are 350$
The Fortec LED fogs are 80$
Seems like a huge difference.
As someone who plans to upgrade the fogs first, has little experience when it comes to lighting in general, and wanting to "do it right", I am interested to know if the Vision X set is really worth the 270$ premium.
Not opposed to spending the money to do it right, but just wanting to make sure it is money well spent.
Here are some photos of mine right after the swap.
I wanted to get fogs as well, but I think I'll try the Truck Lite LEDs first, and then see if I need more. It's really on those dark and twisty mountain highways and roads where I need more light. The stockers are dim but adequate in the city. That said, we don't drive that much in the city at night, and when we do, we take the 4Runner. The difference in light is pretty significant.
I am still struggling with the 3rd brake light. Well, struggling with what to use. Those lug-nut-like ones will not work for me. I need something above the 35" tire or on the hard top. Bright LED would be best.
I have the Rampage LED CHMSL on the way, should have it installed this weekend. I'll let you know what I think.

Went with "Jeep" for 3rd tail.
Attachment 255167

Does anyone know of an affordable solution for yellow LED fog lights? $80 for the white LED's is good, but I'd really like the yellow. Thanks
Rebel Off-road just announced there LED replacements for the Driving Lights for the Jeep inclusive with the CANBUS module. (They have the led dog replacements sold separately as well).
Would love to see how these would compare to the JWS I just purchased.
However after reading additional forum responses, it seems my idea of 'too bright' stems from the city area I live in. Most rural area JK responses reference the stocks are poor in illumination, however if you're in a major well lit city, the stock lights may not be an issue.
Now, after driving a friends A4 and 3 series, the color (and the beam progression) is nearly identical (both in driving and head-on view).
I guess I just needed to get used to it.
BUT... Is it $800 worth? I dunno... But they do look pretty nice.
Hopefully somebody will chime in whom has these Rebel LEDs to compare. lol
I would love to see comparison pics of the Rebels. I have aftermarket lights in because the stock headlights were like an Eveready flashlight. The ones I have now are better, but there is no high beam and they look kind of blue.
