Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hi and welcome to Just Answer!
There are several items you need to consider...
1. My (Wisconsin) parents bought their home in the early 1970's. - the purchase price would constitute the basis.
2. My father passed away in the early 1980's and it became my mother's sole property. - because the property was inherited - your mother had a stepped up basis equals to the fair market value of the property at the time your father passed away. Even she inherited only half of the property - because Wisconsin is a community property state - the total property got a stepped up basis.
3. She did not remarry and it was sold to me (Minnesota) for $1 in the mid - 90's by my mother under life estate. - selling for $1 which is substantially less than its fair market value is treated as gift. Th e gift is not taxable for you as a recipient - but your mother as a donor might be required to file a gift tax return if the FMV is above $10,000. While your mother most likely doesn't owe any gift taxes - still filing the gift tax return could be required. In additional - your basis on the gifted property is the lesser of the fair market value at the time of gifting and the donor's basis.
My mother lived in her Wisconsin house under life estate from that time until she passed in the mid 2000's at which time the home became solely mine. - if the life estate provision was registered in the county where the property was located (normally such provision is mentioned on the title) - your mother was considered as co-owner of the property and part of the property should be included into her estate. If that is correct - the property would be treated as inherited - and you are getting stepped up basis equals to the fair market value of the property at the time your mother died. Otherwise - your basis would be the same as was established at the time of gifting.
I just recently decided to sell. The home is not my primary residence. I married earlier this year.
That is very important to determine your basis as explained above. In additional - the basis should be adjusted by improvements and some other expenses you had while you owned the property.
The gain = (selling price) - (adjusted basis) - (selling expenses).
Because the property was owned more than a year - that will be long term capital gain - taxable at reduced tax rate - not more than 15% (while the rate might go to 20% in 2013). State income taxes are extra.
Please be sure - ask for clarification if needed.
I will address all your concerns.

Yes, you need an attorney. These federal agents do not have your best interest in mind. They are trying to solve their case and law enforcement are legally allowed to lie to civilians to get them to cooperate. You need an attorney who will work for you and ensure that your legal interests are protected and that you don't do anything to put yourself in an even worse situation.

Mr. Haber gave you a very thorough answer to your question. Yes, your son could be violated as he isn't in compliance with the terms of his probation. However, your son will have the opportunity to be heard and the Judge has to find that your son willfully and substantially violated his probation by a preponderance of the evidence in order for the violation to be upheld.See question
The state law says that a two year time limit exists on appeal filings. Does this apply to plea deals?
Yes it applies to plea deals. Typically the 2 year time limit means 2 years from date the judgment and sentence is recorded, whether that be through trial, a plea agreement or an open plea.See question

Yes, you will have to move the court to order counseling. If the Judge grants your motion, then you and your husband will have to go to counseling. If your husband still wants a divorce though, he will be able to move forward, because Florida, as some of the other attorneys mentioned, is a no fault state.See question

Despite all of the crazy cardplayer lingo, the most popular poker game in the world is also suprisingly easy to play. If you can keep track of two cards, you're ready for some Texas Hold'em!
The Objective
The objective of Texas Hold'em poker is to make the best five-card hand you can, using a combination of the two "hole cards" you are dealt and the five community cards on the board. You can use one, both, or none of your hole cards in making the hand.
The Blinds*
"Blinds" are designed to stimulate betting, forcing one player to post the minimum bet and another player to post half the minimum bet each hand. The player to the immediate left of the dealer's button posts the "small blind," and the player to the immediate left of the small blind posts the "big blind." The size of the blind depends on the game. For example, in a $2/$4 game, the small blind is $1 and the big blind is $2. After the blinds are posted, each player is dealt two cards, face down, called hole cards. Texas Hold'em is played with a single deck of cards, shuffled every game.
Hole Cards
After the blinds are posted, two cards are dealt face down to each player in clockwise manner around the table, starting with the player to the left of the dealer button. The player may call the big blind, raise any amount within the raise limit guidelines for the game, or fold and surrender his hand. The betting proceeds clockwise around the table and continues until all players have either bet the same amount of money or folded. In Limit games, bets and raises are restricted to one bet and three subsequent raises per round (on the initial deal, the big blind is counted as the first bet). In No-Limit games, you can raise from the big blind to all your chips ("all-in"). If no player raises the big blind by the time the betting returns to the player who posted it, the player that posted the big blind can either check (no additional bet), raise, or fold if he wants. If no players call the big blind, the player who posted the big blind wins the pot.
The Flop
After the first betting round completes, the first three community cards, known as "the flop," are dealt face up on the board. Betting begins again with the first active player to the left of the dealer. He can either check, bet, or fold. Poker play continues clockwise around the table with each player having the option to either check, bet, call, raise, or fold. When all players have either folded, called the last raiser, or put all of their chips in the pot, the betting round is complete and the cards are dealt for the next round.
The Turn
After the flop betting round completes, another card, called the "turn card," is dealt face up on the table. The betting process is the same as after the flop, except in Limit poker all bets must be made at the higher bet limit (For example, in a $2/$4 game, betting after the turn would start at $4). The turn card is also called "fourth street."
Play continues clockwise around the table with each player given the same set of options (check, bet, call, raise, or fold). When all players have either folded, called the last raiser, or put all of their chips in the pot, the betting round is complete and the cards are dealt for the next round.
The River
After the turn betting round, one last card, called "the river," is dealt face up on the table. No more cards are dealt. Betting begins again with the first active player to the left of the dealer. He can either check, bet, or fold, with betting at a minimum of the higher blind level (Again, in a $2/$4 game, betting on the river would start at $4). Play continues clockwise around the table with each player given the same set of options (check, call, raise, or fold). When all players have either folded, called the last raiser, or put all of their chips in the pot, the betting round is complete. The river is also known as fifth street.
After betting concludes the showdown occurs.
After the final betting round ends, "the showdown" occurs to determine the winner. The player with the best hand wins the pot except in the case when he goes all-in in response to a bet or raise and doesn't have enough chips to cover the bet. In that case, the player only wins the amount that he contributed to the pot. Any player who wins a part of the pot reveals his two hole cards to the rest of the players. The player who raised displays his cards first. If no players have raised, then the first active player to the left of the dealer displays his cards first.
The winning player receives the entire pot (except for players that go all-in and can't cover the bet or raise).
An Example
You are playing No-Limit Hold'em with five other people, for a total of six players. Blinds are $25 and $50 and you are the big blind, so you post $50 in chips. You have $1,000 in chips in front of you after you post the blind. The first player to act folds. The second player to act raises to $200. The third player folds. The fourth player folds. The small blind, who has $25 in the pot already, calls for the additional $175.
You look down at your cards - Ac and As (the Ace of Clubs and the Ace of Spades)! Sure of your good fortune and knowing you have the best starting hand possible, you push your chip stack into the center of the table and scream "All-in!" You have $1,050 in the pot.
The small blind folds. If he wanted to call, it would have cost him an extra $850.
The second player also goes all-in. He has $2,500 in chips. But don't worry. Because you're all-in already, you don't need to cover the difference. There are only two active players, and you're both all-in, so you turn up your hole cards. The second player reveals Kd Ks, and groans.
The dealer lays out the flop - 2c 3c Kc. Oh no! The second player has three-of-a-kind Kings, known as "trips" or a "set." He smiles. But the game isn't over yet. There are two more cards to come.
The dealer sets down the fourth card, or "turn." The 9 of hearts. The second player's smile widens.
Down comes the "river," or fifth card. The Jack of clubs. The second player frowns. His set has just been busted by your Ace-high flush. He takes back the difference between your $1,050 bet and his $2,500. You rake in his chips, "doubling up." Isn't Hold'em easy?

Oakland A's outfield prospect Grant Desme is reportedly turning in his baseball cap for a priest's collar.
Fox Sports' Jon Paul Morosi has confirmation from an A's official that the 23-year-old Desme is retiring and is "serious" about a career change.
This kind of decision must have been made with a great deal of thought. So go ahead and take Desme off your draft lists in keeper and dynasty leagues.
Desme was the only minor leaguer with at least 30 home runs and 30 stolen bases last season when he hit a combined .288 with 31 homers and 40 steals for Class A Kane County and High-A Stockton.
He was also the Most Valuable Player in the 2009 Arizona Fall League (I even specifically mentioned him in a Windup post while I was there in Phoenix) when he hit .315 and led the league with 11 homers. Baseball America had him ranked as the A's 8th-best prospect entering the 2010 season.
Meanwhile, the line of the day came on Twitter from Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus: "Well, somebody's church softball team is gonna get WAY WAY better soon."
Steve's been with USA TODAY in one form or another since 1993. He started at USATODAY.com in 1996, becoming the website's baseball editor in 1999, and has written the fantasy baseball column for Sports Weekly since 2006. Follow him on Twitter: @sgardnerUSAT.

Daily Reading for Wednesday, August 21st, 2013
Reading 1, Judges 9:6-15
6 All the leading men of Shechem and all Beth-Millo then met and proclaimed Abimelech king at the oak of the cultic stone at Shechem.
7 News of this was brought to Jotham. He went and stood on the top of Mount Gerizim and shouted at the top of his voice: Hear me, leaders of Shechem, so that God may also hear you!
8 One day the trees went out to anoint a king to rule them. They said to the olive tree, 'Be our king!'
9 The olive tree replied, 'Must I forgo my oil which gives honour to gods and men, to stand and sway over the trees?'
10 Then the trees said to the fig tree, 'You come and be our king!'
11 The fig tree replied, 'Must I forgo my sweetness, forgo my excellent fruit, to go and sway over the trees?'
12 Then the trees said to the vine, 'You come and be our king!'
13 The vine replied, 'Must I forgo my wine which cheers gods and men, to go and sway over the trees?'
14 Then the trees all said to the thorn bush, 'You come and be our king!'
15 And the thorn bush replied to the trees, 'If you are anointing me in good faith to be your king, come and shelter in my shade. But, if not, fire will come out of the thorn bush and devour the cedars of Lebanon.'
Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 21:2-3, 4-5, 6-7
2 You have granted him his heart's desire, not denied him the prayer of his lips.
3 For you come to meet him with blessings of prosperity, put a crown of pure gold on his head.
4 He has asked for life, you have given it him, length of days for ever and ever.
5 Great his glory through your saving help; you invest him with splendour and majesty.
6 You confer on him everlasting blessings, you gladden him with the joy of your presence.
7 For the king puts his trust in Yahweh; the faithful love of the Most High will keep him from falling.
8 Your hand will reach all your enemies, your right hand all who hate you.
9 You will hurl them into a blazing furnace on the day when you appear; Yahweh will engulf them in his anger, and fire will devour them.
Gospel, Matthew 20:1-16
1 'Now the kingdom of Heaven is like a landowner going out at daybreak to hire workers for his vineyard.
2 He made an agreement with the workers for one denarius a day and sent them to his vineyard.
3 Going out at about the third hour he saw others standing idle in the market place
4 and said to them, "You go to my vineyard too and I will give you a fair wage."
5 So they went. At about the sixth hour and again at about the ninth hour, he went out and did the same.
6 Then at about the eleventh hour he went out and found more men standing around, and he said to them, "Why have you been standing here idle all day?"
7 "Because no one has hired us," they answered. He said to them, "You go into my vineyard too."
8 In the evening, the owner of the vineyard said to his bailiff, "Call the workers and pay them their wages, starting with the last arrivals and ending with the first."
9 So those who were hired at about the eleventh hour came forward and received one denarius each.
10 When the first came, they expected to get more, but they too received one denarius each.
11 They took it, but grumbled at the landowner saying,
12 "The men who came last have done only one hour, and you have treated them the same as us, though we have done a heavy day's work in all the heat."
13 He answered one of them and said, "My friend, I am not being unjust to you; did we not agree on one denarius?
14 Take your earnings and go. I choose to pay the lastcomer as much as I pay you.
15 Have I no right to do what I like with my own? Why should you be envious because I am generous?"
16 Thus the last will be first, and the first, last.'

Bible Resources
The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) is a Catholic translation of the Bible published in 1985. The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) has become the most widely used Roman Catholic Bible outside of the United States. It has the imprimatur of Cardinal George Basil Hume.
Like its predecessor, the Jerusalem Bible, the New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) version is translated "directly from the Hebrew, Greek or Aramaic." The 1973 French translation, the Bible de Jerusalem, is followed only "where the text admits to more than one interpretation." Introductions and notes, with some modifications, are taken from the Bible de Jerusalem.

Geof Darrow's 'Shaolin Cowboy' Returns in 2012 With Three New Issues From Dark Horse
Geof Darrow's Shaolin Cowboy seemed to, at least temporarily, ride off into the sunset in 2007, leaving fans of the Hard Boiled and Big Guy and Rusty artist's hyper-detailed, gorgeously choreographed fantasy western adventure with only seven issues to savor. Fans needn't say "thanks for the memories," any longer, however, as Dark Horse Comics will release three more issues of Shaolin Cowboy in 2012. Judging from Dark Horse's new promo art for the issues, which will kick off with a new number one, they'll have everything fans of the original books had grown to love. There's strange bounty hunters, monster-sized mounted animals, dinosaurs, and the book's unnamed former Shaolin monk-turned cowboy poised for what will surely be explosive battles.From Dark Horse's press release:
"Geof Darrow's relationship with Dark Horse goes back to the early days of the company. I can't tell you how excited I am to again be publishing his amazing work" said Dark Horse president, Mike Richardson. "Geof's art literally stopped me in my tracks when I first met him more than two decades ago and his work is every bit as stunning today. Geof has influenced a generation of artists and I am proud and excited to have him back partnered with Dark Horse."
To date, Shaolin Cowboy's seven issues from Burlyman haven't been collected in English. Superfans who read French and/or Spanish have access to Panini's releases, but so far there's not an easy way to pick up the previous titles. Dark Horse hasn't announced plans to collect the previous material yet, which means now is as good a time as any to start begging them to.
One minor difference between the original Shaolin Cowboy series and the upcoming issues is that the opening dialogue won't be written by the Wachowski siblings. Depending on how you felt about the last two Matrix movies, it may not feel like a huge loss (though most CA staffers are unabashed Speed Racer fans).

The best of Port Isaac
Liz and Jeremy. We can't thank you enough for sharing this beautiful home. The location is perfection and the home and amenities are exceptional. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Port Isaac immersed in the local flavor of this small fishing village. One of our travel companions read your book about the Fishermen's Friends and we also had the chance to see them perform on the beach in the harbor. The Golden Lyon became our daily pub and we so enjoyed the BBQ out on the gun patio. We feasted on crab and lobster and enjoyed the chance to cook in your wonderful kitchen.

Success and Uncertainty
When two Dutch graphic designers were offered a residency at a Cairo art gallery back in January, they had no idea world-changing events were about to rock Egypt to its very core. After Bart de Baets and Sandra Kassenaar finally got there, they immersed themselves in a country where everything was in a state of flux, and produced a poster every day for three weeks reflecting their thoughts, feelings and reactions. We spoke to Bart to find out more about this extraordinary project.
Hi Bart. What was was the atmosphere like in Cairo during those weeks?
It seemed to change daily. Friendly-looking circle discussions suddenly got out of hand and turned into fights, no one really knew who to trust, the curfew changed from 8pm to 9 pm, there were rumors going around that women who weren't wearing head-scarves could be arrested, the curfew changed again from 9pm to 12 pm and then there was the absence of police and the unclarity of not knowing what the army would do and whose side they were on anyway.
So the atmosphere was somewhat unstable but filled with opinions, stories and curiosity. There was a sense of freedom in the air. Next to all this, life in Cairo kept going. And man, do I love living in Cairo. I think that one of the most important things that keeps the Egyptians on their feet in difficult times like these is their great sense of humor and a curiosity that supplies them with a never-ending buzz of energy.
What were the ideas behind the posters?
For a long while Sandra and I were looking for a way to shape our ideas and the insecure position we found ourselves in. We decided to stop thinking of a best way to collaborate but just focus on each other's qualities and exploit those. Sandra had collected a big bunch of news paper clippings that dealt with various ways we received the news – she used existing material she found on blogs or in newspapers we bought and wrote or re-wrote articles, placing them as a tabloid-like structure in a newspaper called Recent Events. I had made a big file of sketches for posters that dealt with our daily struggles in this new city.
I made use of slogans and existing icons to create an overlap between my familiar western background and the Arabic world, basically to create recognition for the posters that quite immediately became rather absurd and sometimes hard to read.
What was the reaction like?
Some people simply gave us the casual thumbs-up whenever we presented a new poster, whereas others immediately fired away questions about our latest creation. Some didn't understand our posters and thought they were difficult to read. Many of the posters made use of icons, like a Mickey Mouse glove or a spinning rainbow from Apple computers, but we also used icons that illustrated the Egyptians or that became iconic due to the events of the last few months.
The posters that made use of more abstract translations, those became our favourites but were the ones the audience related to the least, I think. The ones dealing with political issues in a more direct or humorous way were read more and seemed easier for the Egyptians to respond to.
How would you sum up the whole experience?
I am incredibly happy with the project Sandra and I realized in those four months we were in Cairo and am amazed by the discovery that time and a healthy amount of passion can evoke all kinds of issues in me. The project deals with our difficulty of being foreigners and strangers in a country in the middle of a revolution, a revolution that isn't ours. How to deal with the images the media provides, a foreign language, a culture where a lot of news travels from mouth to mouth and what that does to the authenticity of the entire thing.
We used the posters to filter all that and enjoyed the fact we could make a new one each day. That gave us the liberty to make bold statements next to highlighting silly little details. We were two tourists who made friends with some wonderful people, including many Egyptians. But also we're reporters and artists who have the opportunity and responsibility to give this revolutionary stretch a face that shows more than a raging mob on Tahrir Square and Egyptian flags going up in flames.

Local tastes tempt China diners away from Golden Arches
By Adam Jourdan
SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Bearing rice burgers and lotus roots, an army of Chinese fast food firms is cooking up a challenge to McDonald's Corp and Yum Brands Inc, tempting cost-conscious diners with healthy, homegrown fare and causing a drag on growth for the U.S. chains in the country's $174 billion fast food market.
McDonald's said last week it was thinking of slowing expansion in China as diners are tempted by local rivals. KFC-parent Yum warned this month economic weakness in China would drag on a recovery in sales dented by a food safety scare at the end of last year.
Meanwhile, local firms such as chicken chain Dicos, Country Style Cooking, and Kung Fu Catering have been nibbling away at the dominance of their U.S. rivals.
"I'm a bit sick of Western fast food. There's too much oil, and you hear things like chickens having six legs," said student Tang Mei, 25, as she dined at Taiwanese-owned fast food outlet Dicos. "Health concerns have really made people worried."
McDonald's and Yum are still the largest fast food chains in China but, despite heavy investment, McDonald's has seen its market share by value stagnate at 2.3 percent since 2007, according to data from market research firm Euromonitor.
Yum, which held 6.5 percent last year, is up slightly over the same period, but has seen same-store sales hit after a food scare last year and a local outbreak of avian flu. Yum has 5,600 KFC and Pizza Hut China stores, to McDonald's has 1,800 local outlets.
Brands like Ting Hsin International-owned Dicos, the third largest fast food brand in China, have taken note. The firm, which plans to triple its store count to around 3,700 by 2020, says it aims to "break the traditional Western fast food mould".
While conceived in the image of KFC - its name is a play on "Texas" in Chinese - Dicos now also pushes its Chinese roots. Its website displays an ornate blue ceramic bowl steaming with traditional herbal tea, while rice cake burgers and soybean milk flank the chain's more traditional nuggets and crispy wings.

Bill to fix records act change heads to governor
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The state Senate is sending a bill to the governor to fix previous legislation that threatened to reduce public access to government documents.
Lawmakers approved a bill Monday to replace legislation lawmakers approved as part of the state budget that made complying with the California Public Records Act optional for local agencies.
The change would have meant the state would not have to reimburse the agencies for responding to requests for public information. Media outlets and open government advocates blasted the reversal, saying it would jeopardize transparency.
The replacement measure, SB71, passed the Senate 28-11 after passing the Assembly last week. Gov. Jerry Brown is expected to sign it.
Lawmakers this week will consider a proposed constitutional amendment mandating that local governments comply with the law at their own expense.

Top Teachers: Emily Mason
By Tom Lappas, Henrico Citizen Editor 02/18/11
Emily Mason felt a simple calling to life as a teacher.
"I wanted to make a difference in a child's life," she said.
As a third-grade teacher at Baker Elementary School in Varina for the past four years, she's been able to do just that.
Mason focuses on messages of positive reinforcement for her students and rewards achievement by taking students to dinner or for ice cream after school. She holds afterschool tutoring groups and makes frequent use of her Promethean interactive board during class lessons.
In one nomination, the mother of one of Mason's former students described her daughter as a shy student who normally wouldn't have gotten involved in many activities. But with Mason's encouragement, the girl signed up for a school dance performance.
"At first, [the student] was nervous, but as she practiced each week, she got better, she made more friends, and her confidence grew," the mother wrote. "She started to try more things that used to intimidate her, such as reading much more complicated chapter books. Her confidence in [her] least-liked subjects, such as math grew. [The student] would walk around before a test saying, " I am going to kick math's butt"!
The girl continues to demonstrate the confidence Mason instilled in her, the woman wrote, and she even ran for office in the school's SCA election.
"She did not win, but she felt like a winner," the woman wrote.
Mason, whose father and grandmother both were teachers, said she feels at home with third-graders.
"I really love teaching this age," she said. "They are still very eager to learn. They have a little more independence, and they are very creative. They've pretty much mastered the art of reading, but there are still light bulbs that come on every day."
With the Promethean board, Mason has seen a difference in the way her students prepare and in their excitement levels during class.
"They're just so eager," she said. "They come to the carpet, where we normally sit, and it's not a struggle. They're just ready to learn, very excited about interacting with it. Every day we have a new activity up there, and they just can't wait to see what we're going to do."

But guys, im telling you this Cold Fusion stuff is not new. Fleishmann and Pons was the fisrt who said they did it. It was a breaking news in 1989 then turned to a trouble, because others can not repeat it. This Italian guy became into the spotlight 2 years ago but there was also a lot of question around his case. So what's the difference now?
First time i heard about this it was in 2011 or something. I think its the same Italian guy, Andrea Rossi. What's now? Is there any new breakthrough now, regarding this invention? Im not a physicist.
@aleluja: economists…? Hmm dont talk about economists in these days LOL. Not much difference to an old gipsy future teller. Except that she is using the cards, while ecos using charts. But generally they are all gamblers. Bullshit is bullshit, even if it comes in suit and tie.
aleluja said+1, but dont forget, Envato also often slap on the item's asses in this cheap way…
...if you let users decide their prices totally, you would end up with over 70% of sellers setting $1 for a flyer design.
I just can not figure out which item you talking about. Because sometimes it happens, so maybe we could give you independent opinion. But no hard feeling, ok? Send me your item link through my profile and i will tell you what is my opinion. But its just an opinion, ok?
OriginalEXE said
dekurvajo saidWhere did you get that idea
if they don't you have to accept it until you not gonna be an elite then you can do the pricing by your own
Hang on a minute… am i wrong? - yes im totally wrong. It's not possible anymore… Thanks for correcting me OriginalEXE!
I know Arash its not about self promotion, but you can not use link here under this section. But under the item discussion i think you can.
I know Arash its not about self promotion, but you can not use link here under this section. But under the item discussion i think you can.
Send them a ticket, and write some valid reason. Ask them nicely to change the price but do not expect to much. If they accept it they will change, if they don't you have to accept it until you not gonna be an elite then you can do the pricing by your own. I will check your portfolio maybe i can figure out which is the one. But also, you should ask them to move this thread to item discussion so its not gonna smells like self promotion.
Hello All, is there anybody who would give me an actual and valid review time from the recent days in this category: Add-on/Photoshop Thanks in advance!

What is Prairie Homemaker?
Prairie Homemaker is a group of women who have come together from all bible based religions and all walks of life and joined forces to become a voice for God on the web. We hail from all over the world as well.
We subscribe to the belief that Ephesians 4:5 binds us together. United in the one Faith that God created regardless of the rules men add on to it called religion.
We are conservative, standing on the words of our Lord. Even when doing so disrupts our earthly harmony. God is never wrong, the world often is. God is always Faithful to those who stand in his word. Standing on his word does not give us carte blanche to be rude and hurtful. A biblical woman may be clear and she may be blunt but she is also to be kind and caring.
We are here to join on the journey to being women of God the way he desires us to be. We are dedicated to our Lord and our families. We take seriously the task of stewardship in using what we have to provide for our families.
In these troubling times conservative Christian women need each other for support and courage.
If you are looking for such a place please email me at MJsLady (@) Wcc. Net.
Since we have come under attack by sales bots we have disconnected registration. However we are always accepting new members! Just drop me a line including your desired user name and a short bio on yourself, your Faith, why you wish to join our ranks and how you found us.
May God enter your life and encourage you.

Meet the Phoenix: Carolyn Freeman
Editor's Note: Throughout the 2010-11 school year, junior women's tennis player Morgan Weuve will introduce Phoenix fans to some of her peers and fellow student-athletes. The Green Bay native will conduct interviews with various student-athletes and share her findings with feature stories on GreenBayPhoenix.com.
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Senior women's Nordic skier Carolyn Freeman (Ely, Minn.) is competing in her final season as a Green Bay student-athlete.
"It's exciting and sad at the same time because even though the team has changed over the years, they are like my family," said Freeman. "I am looking forward to seeing what the season brings for myself and the team as a whole."
During Freeman's time at Green Bay she has found success both athletically and academically.
Freeman won her first collegiate race by placing first in the 5K skate race at Michigan Tech's Husky Challenge Dec. 4, and finished fifth in the 5K classic race on Dec. 5. Freeman was a NCAA participant in both 2009 and 2010 where she placed 17th in the skate race in 2010. She was also named to the 2010 All-CCSA first team and 2009 All-CCSA second team.
"My experience here has been very rewarding," said Freeman. "I never thought I would have what it takes to be a college athlete until I met Coach Reimer, who believed in me from the very beginning. He helped me set goals and achieve them and to this day I am still working to achieve the goals we set together."
In addition to Freeman's athletic accomplishments, she has also excelled academically throughout her years as a Phoenix. She has been on the academic honor roll numerous semesters and has received All-Academic recognition by the CCSA. Freeman has maintained a GPA of 3.62 while pursuing a major in organizational communication and a minor in arts management.
"I will graduate in the spring and hopefully join the CXC Central Region Development team," said Freeman. "This team trains athletes to potentially go on to be world cup or Olympic athletes. If I make this program I hope to take my skiing to the next level."

First Look: Luke 15:11-32
Then Jesus said, "There was a man who had two sons. The younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me the share of the property that will belong to me.' So he divided his property between them. A few days later the younger son gathered all he had and traveled to a distant country, and there he squandered his property in dissolute living. When he had spent everything, a severe famine took place throughout that country, and he began to be in need. So he went and hired himself out to one of the citizens of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed the pigs. He would gladly have filled himself with the pods that the pigs were eating; and no one gave him anything. But when he came to himself he said, 'How many of my father's hired hands have bread enough and to spare, but here I am dying of hunger! I will get up and go to my father, and I will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son; treat me like one of your hired hands."'
So he set off and went to his father. But while he was still far off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion; he ran and put his arms around him and kissed him. Then the son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.' But the father said to his slaves, 'Quickly, bring out a robe—the best one—and put it on him; put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. And get the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate; for this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!' And they began to celebrate.
"Now his elder son was in the field; and when he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing. He called one of the slaves and asked what was going on. He replied, 'Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fatted calf, because he has got him back safe and sound.' Then he became angry and refused to go in. His father came out and began to plead with him. But he answered his father, 'Listen! For all these years I have been working like a slave for you, and I have never disobeyed your command; yet you have never given me even a young goat so that I might celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours came back, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fatted calf for him!' Then the father said to him, 'Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours. But we had to celebrate and rejoice, because this brother of yours was dead and has come to life; he was lost and has been found.'"
So famous that it spawned a cliche', the Parable of the Prodigal Son is unfortunately misnamed. Jesus, of course, never gives his parables titles, but over the century since its first telling the story of this wealthy father and his two very different sons has come to be identified by the reckless wastefulness of the younger. This is what the term prodigal means – it shines a focused light upon the licentious behavior of this younger son. Indeed, in my experience most people who retell this story get most of the details about the younger son right. The action of the father and the behavior of the older brother often fade into the margins or are forgotten altogether.
Maybe we could attribute that to the vivid and scandalous details of the younger son's journey, or the maladapted title that we've all come to know and love, but I would suggest a different reason. Something interested is working within us when we emphasize the younger brother in the parable. We undoubtedly minimize or miss some very important details of the story, and I wonder if subconsciously we would rather those details not be there at all. In other words, might we focus on the younger brother in order to avoid the unsettling implications of the father's celebration or the older son's anger? When we read this most famous parable of parables, do we just see what we want to see?
What is it about the younger brother that coaxes us into making him the central feature of the story? He is a rather shrewd, selfish, and depraved individual with whom it is difficult to sympathize. Here is a son who requests boldly to his father, "give me the share of the property that will belong to me." Considering that this property would have only been given to the son upon his father's death, it is clear that this son may as well just say to his father, "you are dead to me." It would have been a stinging slap to the face for this father, yet he complies with the request. The younger son then predictably squanders the whole inheritance in dissolute living, descending into such poverty that he desires the food being eaten by the pigs. To those listening to Jesus, the point would have been clear: This young man is even lower than the pig, an undeniably unclean animal in Jewish culture. He is beyond unclean.
Yet, in his state of uncleanness he does achieve some sort of epiphany. He eventually decides to return home. It's not clear whether his "repentance" is sincere or just the rehearsal of some act meant to put food in his belly, but the traditional view of this text is that the younger son adopts a penitent attitude. He supposedly recognizes the errors of his unkempt ways and wishes to atone for himself. And therein lies our fascination with him.
We live in a culture that prizes hard work and individual merit. Here in America, we practice a system of government that has been called a "Jeffersonian Meritocracy", meaning that we are all able to gain opportunities and rewards in life based on our own merit rather than just having the right connections. We cherish capitalism, where everyone is free to work their way to the top if they work hard enough. Regardless of social standing or personal background, those students with the best grades rise to the top. Those workers who work the hardest are given opportunities for advancement. It's a system that sets everyone on equal footing and lets each person earn his or her own rewards based on their own merit.
There is nothing inherently wrong with our Jeffersonian Meritocracy, but there are potential disadvantages to perceiving the world solely through the lens of merit. Particularly for Christians, there is the very real possibility that we will project the ideals of our culture onto God's kingdom, assuming that the ultimate criterion for reward and advancement – merit – is the obvious criterion for God's blessing as well. The problem with this is that Jesus never said that the kingdom of God was like a Jeffersonian Meritocracy. God's kingdom works by a completely different set of rules, and for us good Jeffersonians, the economics of God's kingdom can be hard to swallow.
Consider for a moment that the younger son's "atonement" seems to be motivated by hunger. The case can be made that he begins to rehearse his inevitable return to his father, choosing the right words and delivering them with sufficient emotion so as to increase his chances of being taken in as a servant. I realize that this interpretation doesn't give the younger son a great deal of credit, but for someone who essentially told his father to "drop dead", then squandered half of the family wealth in debauchery, it's consistent with his behavior.
The point may be moot, however, as his father doesn't wait to hear his rehearsed speech. Rather, he ignores it altogether. In a sheer outburst of joy, enthusiasm, love, forgiveness, and grace, the father runs to his wayward son and wraps him up in his arms. No extravagance is spared: Bring the best robe! Adorn him with jewelry and sandals! Kill the fatted calf and let's celebrate as we have never celebrated before! For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found!
That's the point of the parable. This forgiving and compassionate father is the main feature of Jesus' story. Yet, we routinely make this story about the younger son and his supposed self-atonement. We can't bear the thought of one so lowly receiving redemption without first earning it, so we remember only the parts of the story that sound as though he did. Nevermind the fact that this parable is the third in a serious of "lost and found" narratives, the first two of which concerned a sheep and a coin, neither of which did anything to merit being found! The whole point of all three parables in this series is the one who searches, and the joy of finding that which was lost. Merit has nothing to do with it. These are parables of grace.
Grace is antithetical to our notion of how the world should work. It seems horribly unfair to us. We've grown up learning that you get what you've earned. The unmerited reward of substandard behavior is a threat to the whole system. But isn't that – threatening the system – exactly the kind of thing that Jesus came to do? Isn't this the one who said, "The last shall be first, and the first shall be last"? Isn't this the one who, just prior to telling three parables about divine grace, sits down to eat with tax collectors and sinners? Before Jesus ever opened his mouth to teach his followers about the grace of God, he preached a whole sermon just by sitting down at a table.
If we set aside our traditional focus on the younger brother for an instant, a powerful message of grace becomes clear. This isn't exactly easy for us to do, however, because it generally puts us in the position of having to accept that unmerited favor is bestowed upon some loser who doesn't even come close to deserving it. It's horribly unfair that this father treats him so lovingly, so generously, so compassionately. It's just not right that he would be rewarded so lavishly when he's done something so despicable. We are left protesting that he didn't earn it, that he doesn't deserve it, that the loyal, hard workers are the ones who should be rewarded. We are left…
Well, truth be told, we are left playing the part of the older brother. For all these years I have been working like a slave for you, and I have never disobeyed your command; yet you have never given me even a young goat so that I might celebrate with my friends. But when this son of yours came back, who has devoured your property with prostitutes, you killed the fatted calf for him! He's a good Jeffersonian, that older brother. So are we.
How often are we jealous of someone's unmerited blessing? How many times do we find ourselves silently protesting when someone seems to receive something they haven't earned? More importantly, how frequently do we make God's blessings of love, forgiveness, and salvation about what we've done to earn them instead of God's own free decision to give them as gifts to undeserving sinners? How mistakenly do we emphasize our standing as repentant sinners, all of us prodigal sons and daughters, over the gracious forgiveness, love, and grace of the father who simply welcomes us home time and time again?
It's the season of Lent, and we've got it all wrong. It isn't about repentance. It isn't about doing something to atone for our wrongdoings. It isn't about us at all.
No, it's about the one who atoned for us, the one who died for us while we were yet sinners, the one who rushes out to welcome us home with open arms and rejoices every time he finds us wandering down the road.
He was dead and has come to life; he was lost and has been found!

Performance per What?
In this short note, we argue that performance per watt, which is often cited in the graphics hardware industry, is not a particularly useful unit for power efficiency in scientific and engineering discussions. We argue that joules per task and watts are more reasonable units. We show a concrete example where nanojoules per pixel is much more intuitive, easier to compute aggregate statistics from, and easier to reason about.

Since it launched its über-fast Force Series of SSDs back in March with the 100GB and 200GB devices, Corsair has continued to build on its success with a further announcement in July and now looks to dominate even further with its latest addition to the range.
Corsair has announced two more additions to its range of Force Series Solid State Drives – the F90 and F180 with (as you might have guessed) densities of 90GB and 180GB respectively. It is the speed though which is the most jaw-dropping aspect of these units. Built using the Sandforce SF-1200 SSD Processor, the F90 and F180 boast read speeds of 285MB/sec and write speeds of up to 275MB/sec.
The F90 and F180 are available immediately from Corsair's worldwide network of authorized distributors and resellers. The F90 will cost about £144 including VAT and the F180 will set you back somewhere in the region of £275 which is pretty good value, we think, considering the speeds and capacity.
The F90 and F180 Force Series SSDs all implement the ATA TRIM command, supported by Windows 7, which should help maintain the optimal performance over the drive's lifetime.
"Corsair's Force Series of SSDs have become extremely popular with enthusiasts and gamers, and with these two new capacities we can offer our customers greater flexibility to choose the capacity that best suits their budget," stated Thi La, VP of Memory Products at Corsair. "The 90GB and 180GB capacities neatly fill the gaps in the current family, which now ranges from 40GB all the way to 240GB."

Looking for a hardtop e36
I'm looking to get a hardtop for my e36 M3. I have $1000 I'm willing to spend. I know most go for more than that, however I've found ads for as low as $850. If you have one you're willing to part with or know of one let me know please. Also, if there is a convertible subsection or any other threads dealing with hardtops that I haven't found, point me in that direction. Thanks!
I have one that I am looking to get out of my Garage and I'm only a few hours away from you. PM me if you are interested.

Selecting the right router and what's applicable for your network can be difficult. It can depend on your ISP and the type of Broadband (DSL/ADSL, Fiber, Cable or Satellite) connection you have; some can behave differently than others. I hear this all the time and have been often asked the same question – 'What's the best router for me'?
I've recently purchased and set-up a new D-Link N Router to replace our old Linksys G Router as it was acting up. It took me a little while to buy, as I spent time researching my choice. I use Charter Communications (Internet Service Provider) and I've found out that Charter customers have had luck using either Linksys or D-Link routers. I have researched different forums and blogs to find out what other consumers have to say regarding the pros and cons of a variety of routers, you might want to consider doing the same before you buy; reading consumer reviews from reputable vendors are also beneficial. My new D-Link router is performing great and so far so good.
How complex is your wireless network environment? Before you buy anything, you need to find out how many wireless devices do you have. A Wireless device can be anything from a Laptop to an IPod, Tablets, Smart phone, Xbox, PS3, etc. If you're likely to be doing any HD video streaming, you might consider a Dual Band N Router, this can operate on both the 2.4 GHz and 5GHz radio bands simultaneously, and double the available wireless bandwidth. A router that has this option provides load balancing, for instance you could set up your network to handle video streaming on one radio band, and use the other band for other simultaneous web activities (Instant messaging, Surfing, data uploading/downloading) avoiding any interference or collisions.
Routers have different types of Standards known as Standard 11n (N) that supports 5GHz band and Standard 11b and g (B/G) that supports 5GHz band technology? B/G is an older technology and nowadays N technology would be preferred as it is backwards compatible to B/G and will communicate to any B/G wireless devices. In order to make use of the highest router mode (N), your wireless devices will have to be compatible with N technology as well. However, your older B/G wireless devices will only communicate at the lowest Mode of your router, which is the B/G. The higher the standards used, the better your router will perform.
How large is your home and how many rooms do you have? You may wish to consider using an Access Point (AP), a router with Bridging or Repeating functionality. Make sure to read the technical details of the router to ensure that the router that you will be buying has this option. It's best to download the PDF file available from the manufacturer's site to view the specifications. The AP, Bridge or Repeater Router is designed for users looking to create a wireless network or to connect multiple wired devices to an existing wireless network. Expand your wireless network endlessly to cover large areas and improve performance.
Don't forget the Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPV6) compatibility – Most modern routers will have this feature ready so that each IPV6 device in your network will comply with your router when it becomes effective. Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPV4) will be obsolete but not necessarily stop working. Your Network Cards and other technology devices will have to be IPV6 compliant in order for them to connect and work well with your router.
The wireless security feature of the router is also significant and plays a big role in your wireless network. Make sure that it supports WPA2 which is the highest network encryption available, WEP and WPA security have both been hacked and are not reliable security standards.
Other things to consider:
Will you need gigabit ports? Some routers have gigabit ethernet ports for faster transfer rate if you decide to do file sharing in your network. Your wired network devices must have gigabit network adapters to make use of the gigabit ports.
A Cloud feature will be great to have – Netgear has a 'Ready Share Cloud' or ReadySHARE(R) USB Storage Access for file sharing. You're not just getting a wireless router but a Cloud solution as well, all in one great package. You may also make use of the USB Port to share any USB devices from your network.
Parental Control – You may wish to restrict browsing on certain sites for minor ages of the family members.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) – You may transfer, upload, download files by using an internet.
Hotspot – You may setup your network as a Wi-Fi Hotspot, this is most commonly use for Cafe' restaurants.
Guest Zone – You may create a separate SSID (wireless network name) for your Guests to keep them isolated from your own SSID.
These are just a few great features that you might consider before buying your next router. Now, you decide and find out what's the best router for you.

It's made by a company called Sculptify, and aims to make 3D printing much more affordable. How? It uses pellets instead of traditional strands of filament.
Think of it in terms of cars. If regular 3D printers are like normal cars, and filament is like petrol, then David is like a Tesla, and pellets are like electricity.
Not only are pellets cheaper, Sculptify claims they're more versatile too. "Every plastic product, even filament, starts out in pellet form," it says on the Kickstarter page. "Because of this, raw pellets are readily available in thousands of different materials, colours, and grades.
"By printing directly with plastic pellets, David can print with many more materials than traditional 3D printers – making him more useful to many more people and industries."
You don't have to buy pellets made by Sculptify either, so you're not locked to one brand. It'll take any of the same kind, available from any number of 3D printing websites. So it's up to you where you buy them from.
The downside is that David itself doesn't come cheap. It costs $3,195 (£1,917), though the relatively low price of the pellets should help you save in the long run.
It's already raised more than a quarter of its $100,000 funding target. You can back it yourself for just $1.

Adidas & Star Wars Posters by Dorothy Tang
A somewhat untraditional set of posters made by Hong Kong artist Dorothy Tang in collaboration with adidas Original.
What triggers my eye is the obvious inspiration from vintage Chinese film posters. I love that vintage propaganda look – and with Star Wars – even better! I could do without the babies though.

Love these posters! thank you for posting the series.
do you know where i can purchase these?
Not, sure. I had a really had time finding facts about these posters in the first place.
