Credits Against Tax
IRS explains how unmarried taxpayers allocate first-time homebuyer credit.
March 2009
by Alistair Nevius/The Tax Adviser
The IRS has issued Notice 2009-12, explaining how the Sec. 36 first-time homebuyer credit should be allocated between unmarried taxpayers who buy a principal residence together.
Sec. 36 was added to the Code last year by the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008, P.L. 110-289. It gives first-time homebuyers a refundable credit of 10 percent of the purchase price of the home, up to $7,500 ($3,750 for married taxpayers filing separately). The credit phases out for homebuyers with modified adjusted gross income (AGI) between $75,000 and $95,000 (between $150,000 and $170,000 for joint filers). The credit applies for both regular tax and AMT purposes.
To be eligible, a taxpayer must be a first-time homebuyer, defined as an individual (and, if married, the individual's spouse) who has not had a present ownership interest in a principal residence during the three-year period ending on the date the principal residence is purchased (Sec. 36(c)(1)). Unmarried individuals may jointly purchase a residence and allocate the $7,500 credit between them (Sec. 36(b) (1)(C)).
In the notice, the Service explains that if two or more taxpayers who are not married purchase a principal residence and otherwise satisfy the Sec. 36 requirements, the first-time homebuyer credit may be allocated between the taxpayers using any reasonable method. The IRS says a "reasonable method" is any method that does not allocate any portion of the credit to a taxpayer who is not eligible to claim that portion.

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The acrimonious relations between Serbia and its former territory Kosovo spilled over at the United Nations on Monday when Kosovo accused Belgrade of stirring up crime in its northern areas.
Serbia, in response, said an "ethnic-Albanian mafia" was involved in human trafficking, arms-smuggling and drugs.
The exchanges took place in a Security Council debate on a report on Kosovo from Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon a year after Pristina seceded from Serbia. That followed more than a decade of upheaval in the Balkans.
"The situation in the north remains an issue of utmost concern," Kosovo's Foreign Minister Skender Hyseni told the meeting. "Lawlessness, with evident support of the leadership in Belgrade, has turned this part of Kosovo into a safe haven for all kinds of criminal and illegal economic activity."
Serbian President Boris Tadic restated Belgrade's position that his country would "never recognize the independence of Kosovo, either directly or indirectly."
"Serbia, together with a number of European Union member states, faces tremendous problems arising out of the activities of the ethnic-Albanian mafia in Kosovo, which specializes in the trafficking of narcotics, human beings and weapons."
Kosovo is 90 percent Albanian. Most of the remaining 120,000 Serbs refuse to work with Albanian-run institutions.
Under a six-point plan agreed last year, police, customs officers and judges in the Serb-run areas of northern Kosovo remain under the U.N. umbrella, known as UNMIK, while their Albanian counterparts work with a European Union police and justice mission called EULEX.
Ban's report to the council said the security situation in Kosovo was generally stable, apart from a few recent incidents in the north.
He said many Kosovo Serbs there refuse to cooperate with authorities in the capital Pristina, while many Albanians see a continued U.N. presence as an obstacle to their independence.
Hyseni said that his government was ready to engage in direct talks and normalize relations with Belgrade.
Tadic dismissed the idea that Kosovo had transformed itself into an independent country. "It is obvious to everyone today that 13 months after the illegal, unilateral declaration of independence Kosovo is no state," he told the council.
Many Western countries have recognized Kosovo's independence. Serbia's principal ally Russia, a permanent veto-wielding member of the Security Council, has said it will never do so and will use its power to block Kosovo's access to international organizations like the United Nations.
Russia's U.N. ambassador Vitaly Churkin brushed aside Hyseni's complaints of Serbian interference, saying "it is an attempt ... to accuse Belgrade of all the problems of Kosovo."
Officially the United Nations remains in charge of Kosovo on the basis of a 1999 Security Council resolution passed after a NATO bombing campaign of Serbia ended a 1998-1999 war between Serb forces and Albanian guerrillas.
The 15-nation council has been unable to make any changes to the U.N. mandate because its members are split over what to do with the U.N. presence there and the legality of Pristina's February 2008 declaration of independence.
Overall 56 countries have recognized Kosovo.

Ice T. And 24 Other Celebrities Who Are Ridiculously Nice To Fans.
People on Reddit were asked: " Who is the nicest celebrity you've ever met?" These are some of the best answers.
sisters bags and helped carry them to our car.
I learned a good lesson that day; never help anyone because it's easier to let a celebrity do it for you.
2/25 Ryan Gosling paid for my parking on Hollywood Blvd once. We had parked in the same parking lot. He was leaving and we were arriving and I struck up a convo with him real quick.
He asked where I was from and why I was there/who I was with. (Spring Break, 9 friends, 2 cars). And he was like "Oh you guys have 40 bucks to drop on just parking? Must be loaded" I chuckled and was about to say something back and he just says the coolest thing to me.
"Don't worry about parking today man, I'll cover you all for the weekend. Have a fun spring break!"
It was so cool. He is JUST as nice in real life as you think he would be.
3/25 I was at a shoe store in Cleveland about 4 years ago... I think it was Finishline. And I'm looking at the new Lebron shoes, (mind you that I'm only 18 at the time), and a huge shadow appears over me. And I turn around, and it was Lebron James standing there. He smiled and said "You want my new shoes." I stumbled over my words for a few seconds then said yes I think I'm going to buy a pair right now. He then asked me my size, went up to the front desk and bought me 2 pairs. 1 he signed, and he said the other was for me to practice my post moves in. One of the best days of my life.
4/25 Morgan Freeman. We're both from the same state (Mississippi). I was having lunch near his home town when I noticed him. He took the time to talk to me, despite my epic fan grin, and paid for my food before he left. Best lunch I ever had.
So in conclusion I met God.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Functional Independence Measure [ Time Frame: 6 months ]Functional Independence Measure (FIM) it is an 18-item ordinal scale with seven levels ranging from 1 (total dependence) to 7 (total independence).FIM can be subdivided into a 13-item motor subscale (eating, grooming, bathing, dressing upper body, dressing lower body, personal hygiene, bladder control, bowel control, transfer to tub/shower, walk or wheelchair, stairs) and 5-item cognitive subscale (comprehension, expression, social interaction, problem solving, memory).The motor and cognitive sub-scales scores range from 13 to 91(motor-FIM) and from 5 to 35 (cognitive-FIM). The maximum total score is 126.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- motor performance, Fugl-Meyer scale [ Time Frame: 6 months ]The Fugl-Meyer physical performance scale assesses five dimensions of impairment, including three aspects of motor control, such as the amplitude of joint movement, pain, sensitivity, motor impairment of the upper and lower extremities and balance. The data are scored in an ordinal scale of 3 (0=no performance; 2=complete performance) applied to each item7. The total motor score is equal to the classification of the upper limb (UL) plus the lower limb (LL), corresponding to 100 total scores (UL=66, LL=34). The total FM score, including the other items, corresponds to 226 scores in the final sum.

|Assigned Interventions
|Experimental: home-based group
Behavioral: home-based group (HBG)
Participants in the home-based group (HBG) were advised to exercise, a minimum of 4 times per week, but they were encouraged to exercise a total of 5-7 days per week. After individual assessment, a group of home-exercise selected of the manual was explained and performed one by one. The home-exercises were re-executed at each fortnightly visit, when necessary corrections were made and the next step stipulated by manual was taken, according to the patient's progress.
Other Name: Home-based exercise supported by an illustrated manual
|Active Comparator: supervised exercise group
Behavioral: supervised exercise group (SEG)
Patients in the supervised exercise training group (SEG) participated in supervised individual exercise sessions 2 times per week. A physical therapist supervised these sessions. Exercise sessions included: 30 minutes of global exercises that involved stretching, range of motion, muscle strengthen and another 30 minutes of functional training (gait, balance and use of the arm in daily activities).
Other Name: Conventional supervised exercise training
No Intervention: control
Control group:no intervention
Detailed Description:
- Program Development: 27 exercises were selected, based on the most frequent motor alterations present in hemiparesis. Three modes were created for each exercise: assisted active, active and resisted active executions. Besides explanatory text, there were illustrative photos for all exercises and their modes.
- Program Execution: All groups were submitted to a motor evaluation utilizing the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and functional evaluation utilizing the Functional independence measure (FIM). After assessment, for the patients of the home-based exercise group (HBG) a group of home exercises was selected for each patient; these exercises were explained and performed one by one. The home-exercises were re-executed at each fortnightly visit, when any necessary correction was made. The next steps stipulated by the manual were taken, providing the patients with more complex exercises according to their progress. The patients in the supervised exercise training group (SEG) participated in supervised individual exercise sessions two times per week. A physical therapist supervised these sessions. Exercise sessions included: 30 minutes of global exercises that involved stretching, range of motion, muscle strengthen and another 30 minutes of functional training (gait, balance and use of the arm in daily activities).The control group (CG) was assessed but reluctant or unable to regularly attend a supervised exercise program. The groups were reassessed after six months.
- Program assessment: The Fugl-Meyer Assessment score and the Functional independence measure score, measured at baseline and after six months, were compared between the groups.

Are we in the midst of a new golden age of capitalism or the biggest asset bubble in history?
Frankly, nobody can tell for sure. All we can realistically do is to assign probabilities to the two outcomes. Or, perhaps not even that. In its new annual report published on 27 June, the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) admitted as much. "Our understanding of economic processes may be even less today than it was in the past," said the BIS. And: "We face a fundamentally uncertain world—one in which probabilities cannot be calculated—rather than simply a risky one."
So, it is not surprising that there are smart men and women on both sides of the fence, arguing the bull and bear cases with equal conviction. But this week marks the 10th anniversary of the start of the Asian financial crisis—an earthquake that ripped through economies across the region. So, despite the ambiguities of the current situation, it is still worth trying to figure out whether the world is close to another big financial blowout.
Most of the debates are focused on the macro-fundamentals—exchange rates, current account balances and interest rates, for example. These are not unimportant. But there is another set of parameters that deserve equal attention—the balance sheets of companies, banks and investment bodies. Remember: while currency speculators fanned the fires of the Asian financial crisis, these fires were originally lit by weak balance sheets of banks and companies in the region.
The work of American economist Hyman Minsky gives us a useful framework to examine this issue. Minsky developed a theory of financial fragility that is stunning in its originality, and which tried to show that periodic financial crises are part of the logic of the economy rather than the result of external shocks. In other words, he said financial crises are endogenous rather than exogenous.
Minsky said balance sheets and cash flows go through three stages, which he termed hedged finance, speculative finance and ponzi finance. In the first stage, hedge finance, the cash flows generated from operations are enough to meet all financial obligations of a company. But as an economy grows, companies tend to take more risks. They move to the second stage—speculative finance. Here, their cash flow is enough to cover only debt payments; the actual debt is rolled over rather than repaid. Then there is the final stage of ponzi finance, when the cash generated from operations is not even enough to cover interest payments. The company either has to borrow more or sell off its assets to service its debt.
Ponzi finance is the last stage before a financial crisis and, after the crisis, companies go back to the first stage of hedge finance. And then the process starts all over again. Minsky has in recent years developed a following in the investment community, especially among the "world is a bubble" crowd.
Minsky's analysis assumed a closed economy, without capital flows and volatile exchange rates. Some of his prescriptions, too, were controversial. He argued, for example, that the job of a central bank is not to control money supply but to stabilize the financial system. Yet, the broad three-stage classification he proposed is a good framework to understand the times we live in.
Now, look around. You'll see leveraged buyouts, hedge funds and private equity funds making the headlines. They all have one thing in common—they constitute an arbitrage between the credit markets and other asset markets. In other words, these entities are borrowing at very low interest rates in one market and using the money to buy in another market (be it a company or any other asset class). A lot of the risk has been parcelled out and sold to investors across the world through synthetic securities. This looks a lot like what Minsky called ponzi finance.
On the other hand, the balance sheets of non-financial companies are in good shape, with low debt and high levels of cash. The question, then, is whether the power of ponzi finance is strong enough to topple the global economy in the coming years, despite strong economic and business fundamentals.
"I have proposed a 'Minskian' evolution from Money Manager Capitalism to Financial Arbitrage Capitalism. Command over the credit system —hence the capitalist economy—has shifted away from corporate boardrooms and institutional investors to investment bankers, derivative players, and the leveraged speculating community. Moreover—and in a momentous departure from Minsky's era—the consumer loan has become the locus for system credit creation, supplanting business borrowing to finance capital investment," wrote money manager Doug Noland in June 2005.
He was writing about the US. But these are words worth heeding for the rest of us as well.

IRCE speakers Seward and Yacaman highlighted how paid search marketing can pay off, especially when consumers are no longer buying on just one device. 57% of consumers in the U.S. are transacting with multiple devices, Seward said, and the need to target consumers more directly with paid search is one tactic e-commerce marketers can leverage. "When you're a retailer, and you have a Web store, you cannot wait around and wait for shoppers to come to your site. If you want to have high traffic, you want to have brand awareness, and that was paid search for us," Yacaman explained.

The Church is supportive of those lay faithful who may be called to form or participate in any of a variety of lay organizations whether private or public. While not part of the diocesan curia or under the direct control of the bishop, they serve a collaborative and complimentary role in ecclesial ministry by their own purpose, spirituality or charism. Lay organizations of the faithful are recognized by the diocesan ordinary.

At Proven Winners, we offer a vast array of annuals, perennials and shrubs, though perhaps none are better known than what we fondly call our "Three Supers": Superbells® Calibrachoa, Supertunia® Petunia and Superbena® Verbena. If you could only choose one Proven Winners variety for your sunny garden and containers this year, try one of these new Supers. You will be absolutely amazed by the beautiful garden performance they deliver from spring into fall.

SUPERBELLS® Garden Rose Calibrachoa - The groundbreaking new Superbells® Garden Rose is the first in a brand new line of Calibrachoa bred for landscape use rather than containers, though it performs admirably in containers too. It is extremely vigorous, quickly covering 2-3 feet of ground, and blooms all summer without deadheading, even in hot, humid weather.
SUPERBELLS® Evening Star Calibrachoa - A beautiful addition to our Superbells® Star collection, Evening Star becomes covered in cool lavender blue blossoms, each featuring a perfectly shaped gold star throat and deep blackish purple eye. It doesn't require deadheading to keep right on blooming all summer long. Try it in your hanging baskets and combination containers too.
SUPERTUNIA® Daybreak Charm Petunia - Supertunia® Daybreak Charm produces loads of vibrant watermelon pink flowers with a sunshine yellow throat on densely branched plants all summer long without deadheading. Pair it with Superbells® in a cheerful hanging basket or plant it on its own in your sunny landscape.
SUPERTUNIA® Violet Star Charm Petunia- For a picture perfect hanging basket or container, try the Supertunia® Charms. They grow vigorously and are absolutely covered in cheerful blooms from spring into fall. Try them in your sunny landscape too, where they'll put on an impressive show of color all season. Violet Star Charm profusely bears white flowers, each with an identical violet star pattern.

They grow vigorously and are absolutely covered in cheerful blooms from spring into fall. Try them in your sunny landscape too, where they'll put on an impressive show of color all season. Pink Star Charm profusely bears white flowers, each with an identical bright pink star pattern.
SUPERTUNIA® Honey Petunia - Supertunia® Honey features an incredible ever-changing array of yellow, orange and salmon blossoms on mounding, well-branched plants. It will grow and bloom vigorously all season long in containers and landscapes, as it doesn't mind the heat or cool nights.
SUPERTUNIA® Latte Petunia - This elegant Supertunia grows and blooms vigorously all season long, forming a very well-rounded, full hanging basket covered in clear ivory white blossoms with a prominent black coffee throat. You won't need to deadhead it to keep it blooming, and it doesn't mind the heat or cool nights.
SUPERTUNIA® Picasso in Blue™ Petunia - This incredibly unique Supertunia® features bicolor lavender blue blossoms rimmed in green on beautifully mounded to trailing plants. It is a strong grower and blooms all season without deadheading. Try it in combination containers, hanging baskets, and your sunny landscape.
SUPERBENA® Sparkling Amethyst Verbena - Superbena® Sparkling Amethyst bears large clusters of amethyst purple flowers kissed with rosy purple centers. The flowers completely cover the canopy of dark green, powdery mildew-resistant foliage all summer without deadheading. It is an excellent spiller in combination planters and hanging baskets.

The practical yet profound metaphysical art of numerology has been passed down to us from ancient times, and the best known numerologist was King Solomon of Israel. Using numerology can provide insights to better understand when and how to make important decisions that are synchronized with the natural order. A quick look into the best times to make investments or lend or borrow money could be very useful in avoiding unnecessary risks and maximizing returns.
Things You'll Need
- Pencil or pen
- Blank sheet of paper
- Open mind
Calculate your year number, which governs the energy or numeric vibration from your last birthday until your next birthday. This is accomplished by adding the month and day or your birthday to the year of your last birthday. So if you were born on October 28th, you would add 10 + 28 + 2007. This reduces to 10 + 28 + (2 + 0 + 0 + 7) = 10 + 28 + 9 = 47 (if calculating before October 28, 2008).
Determine the month numbers using the year number by adding 47 + the number of the month. So January 2008 is 47 + 1 = 48, February is 47 + 2 = 49, March 47 + 3 = 50 and so forth. For January, reduce 48 to the prime vibration by adding 4 + 8 = 12. Then reduce 12 by adding 1 + 2 = 3. Thus, your month number is 48/3. February is 49/4, March is 50/5, April is 51/6, May is 52/7, June is 53/8, July is 54/9, August is 55/1, September is 56/11 (11, 22, 33 and 44 are master numbers that are not further reduced), October up until the birthday is 57/3. October in the previous year following the birthday was 57/3, November is 58/4 and December was 59/5.
Now consider the overriding vibration of the year number. The number 47/11 denotes a highly karmic period where things can happen quickly and fortunes can be made and lost. If you are of the right mind and heart, great things can be achieved; however, what is gained quickly can be lost at the same speed. In general an 11 year is a good number for making money. The best numbers for investing are normally 1, 4, 8, 11, 22 and 44.
Look at the number of each month. This is really the most important number when predicting the environment for your financial activities. A 1 month is a good month for seeking out new opportunity when you will have a lot of energy. A 2 month is more of a gestation period where you will take a back seat to others. A 3 month is good time for travel and self-expression. A 4 month is a time to get things in order. A 5 month is a good time for preparing for a change or making a change—or when flexibility will be required. A 6 is a vibration that equates to the home and family. A 7 is for rest, rejuvenation, relaxation or a vacation. An 8 month is a time when you have power for business or sports. A 9 is when anything that needs to drop out of your life or be left behind may well do exactly that. An 11 month is a high energy time where anything is possible. A 22 month will bring organization and order into your life whether you want it or not. A 33 is the Christ number, and mystic and providential energy will surround your household. A 44 month is a time for a prize-winning garden to be planted, a showpiece house to be built or a highly profitable business to be expanded or launched.
Think about how your life lines up with these basic monthly and yearly vibrations. If you are pursuing activities that oppose these vibrations, you are likely to encounter mental and physical challenges. If you have a closing scheduled for a 2 month, consider trying to postpone it for a couple of months until the 4 month (unless the 2 is actually an 11). You will have your wits about you much more completely. If you are planning to invest money, look for one of the optimum months.
Compare the year number and the month. If they are the same, the vibration is even greater, so expect to encounter a double dose of whatever the number normally brings you. If you are in an 8 vibration for the year and a 44 month, then you are ready to take the next step to ultimate success. During the last year, I received a huge bonus and raise during an 11 month that was also in an 11 year—right after being the victim in a major automobile accident where I ended up losing a lot of money and the car during a 9 month (2 months earlier). This may seem to be in conflict with the 11 year, but the car was purchased at an interest rate that was higher than what I can get now, and the car had turned out to be very expensive to maintain. So despite the short-term inconvenience, overall I gained by losing the car--but couldn't see this until later.

VATICAN CITY, JUNE 27, 2008 (Zenit.org).- Benedict XVI appointed cardinal Agostino Vallini, prefect of the Apostolic Signature, as his new vicar for the Diocese of Rome and archpriest of the Basilica St. John Lateran.
Cardinal Vallini, 68, succeeds Cardinal Camillo Ruini, 77, who presented his resignation for reasons of age. The latter had been the vicar for Rome since 1991.
The Pontiff received the two cardinals today in the Vatican, accompanied by some 400 priests and representatives of the Diocese of Rome.
Cardinal Vallini expressed in his greeting to the Pope his "sentiments of profound gratitude as well as astonishment and human trepidation for a ministry of such great responsibility and delicacy."
The cardinal underlined as his primary objective to work actively "so that the Church in Rome will be able to educate in hope, continuing with renewed vigor to proclaim the Gospel of the Risen Jesus, first fruit of our hope," and to cooperate "in the effort to render the face of this, our city, more beautiful, more human and more fraternal."
Agostino Vallini was born in 1940, in Poli, Italy, in the Diocese of Tivoli, near Rome.
He was ordained priest in 1964. He studied at the Pontifical Theological Faculty of Naples before being sent to Rome in 1964 to specialize in canon law.
In 1978 he was appointed rector of the Major Seminary of Naples, an office he held until 1987. At that time he was appointed dean of the St. Thomas section of the Theological Faculty of Southern Italy.
He was named an auxiliary bishop of Naples in 1989, and then bishop of Albano in 1999.
In 2004 he was appointed prefect of the Apostolic Signature, and was promoted at the same time to the dignity of archbishop.
He was elevated to cardinal in 2006.

sofa obsessed!
I think our plan is too mix a fabric sofa with a nice vintage leather chair or sofa... I'll let you know how we get on! Although it may not be finished for quite a while! ;)
4 comments:
I so agree with you. Choosing a sofa is a hard decision. Having made that decision about two years ago, I settled on the Petrie, a mid century modern design from Crate and Barrel. Truthfully, I've had some buyers remorse; the button tufting makes long term sitting uncomfortable and, due to lighting differences, the color I selected from their special order swatches looks totally different in the store then at home. The small swatch that I took home didn't allow me to see the difference. Fortunately, I plan to put my DIY skills to use and remove the seat cushion tufting or add a layer of padding and make a slipcover to correct my color faux pas. Good luck with your decision!ReplyDelete
Hi Caroline,ReplyDelete
just wanted to let you know that the Q&A is up:) I hope you'll like it. Thank you so much for partipating! Enjoy your week=)

Havana City is the Capital, without a doubt, the tourism destination of excellence. Within the city, its historic center (considered by UNESCO World Heritage in 1982) is an obliged reference destination for all visitors who come to this city. Visitors to Old Havana can admire the ongoing restoration works that are giving back splendor to the colonial quarter and its main monuments: the Real Fuerza Castle-the oldest fort in America; the Havana Cathedral, a most notable example of baroque architecture.
This city tour is also called a panoramic tour, since youll see all the landmarks mentioned, though not necessarily enter each one. Thanks to knowledgeable guides and careful planning, this makes a perfect introduction to Havana.
If you divide the capitol in two parts, you will get Old Havana, largely car-free so you will visit this part on foot. This historic and colonial center is an open air museum of architecture, art and culture a real treat for history and culture buffs. The other half is called modern Havana, but certainly not less interesting, just very urban and genuine, with definitely historical toppers, although from a later era.
Listed on the agenda, in random order: Plaza San Francisco de Asís - Plaza de la Catedral - Plaza Vieja - Plaza de Armas - Palacio de los Capitanes Generales (City Museum) - Capitol - Parque Central - Bar-restaurant Floridita and Bodeguito del medio - University of Havana - Plaza de la Revolución (Revolution Square) and the boulevard Malecón.
The Parque Morro- Cabaña was one of the greatest defenses ever built by the Spaniards in what was then called the New World. The fort is on the other side of Havana Bay and offers spectacular views over the city.
So you see that you can witness a lot in just 3 hours, and after this orientation you revisit the landmarks of your interest at your own pace and with your own compass.

McCoist - No complacency
Rangers manager Ally McCoist is wary of the threat posed by St Mirren ahead of Saturday's trip to Paisley.
Last Updated: 23/12/11 6:08pm
Rangers manager Ally McCoist is wary of the threat posed by St Mirren ahead of Saturday's trip to Paisley.
Memories of the Buddies' visit to Ibrox in October are still raw for McCoist and his players as the Scottish champions, who had been aiming for a 10th consecutive SPL win, were held to a 1-1 draw when former Light Blues striker Steven Thompson grabbed an injury-time leveller.
While McCoist's side hope for the three points that will strengthen their grasp on pole position in the SPL ahead of next week's Old Firm derby, he is by no means taking a win for granted.
The Rangers boss said: "We saw enough in the game at Ibrox to determine that it's going to be a really difficult game. I thought they knocked the ball about really well against us at Ibrox.
"As disappointing as we were - when we took the lead we couldn't get the second goal - from their point of view they scored a very good equaliser.
"It was a howler defensively from us, but from their point of view it was a good goal. In the cold light of day, they probably deserved a point on that day's performance.
"That would indicate to me and the players that it's going to be nothing other than a really tough fixture, but it's a good place to go.
"It's a new stadium and the surface has been good and always seems to be playable and in good condition.
"It's an opportunity for us to go away again and hopefully continue our good run away from home."
Rangers face one of their biggest games of the season when they take on Celtic at Parkhead on Wednesday night, when they will be seeking a repeat of their 4-2 win over the Hoops earlier in the campaign.
But McCoist is well aware of the dangers of dropping points against Saints by looking too far ahead, adding: "I'm not even looking to the Old Firm game until 3pm on Christmas Eve.
"The Old Firm game is massive, of course it is, and I would rather go into the Old Firm game with three more points, that's for sure. We will have to earn them again."
Aluko praise
McCoist expects recent recruit Sone Aluko to have a big part to play in both games, with the winger back in contention after serving a two-match ban for diving after winning a penalty against Dunfermline in only his second game for the club.
His debut was also marred when he was blamed for the goal that allowed Kilmarnock to inflict Rangers' first league defeat of the season, but despite the controversy, McCoist has been impressed.
He said: "The irony is not lost on me that we are talking about the wee fellow after only two games.
"I think that's to his credit with the impact he has made at Kilmarnock and at home to Dunfermline. He will certainly come back into our plans.
"He looks as though he is loving life here, he is enjoying his training and getting on well with the lads. He will certainly be involved in the fixtures coming up.
"If in any way, shape or form he didn't really like handling the limelight side of things, he's obviously at the wrong club. His first two games would indicate this is life at Rangers.
"I thought he played well at Kilmarnock and then got slaughtered for not coming off the line for the goal and then the incident against Dunfermline has been well broadcast.
"That's just the territory that he's now living in and working in, but he will handle it fine. In fact, he will probably thrive on it. He's a smashing boy."

Here at Johnston's Automotive, we want your vehicles to be well taken care of. Because of this, we thought it would be fitting to explain a bit about the steps you can take by yourself to ensure that your vehicle is in the best shape possible.
Preventative maintenance is the name of the game! Though there are things that most people simply cannot do at home, there are quite a few things that can be done that only take a few moments and extend the life of your vehicle by years. Checking fluid levels on a regular basis is a huge help to maintaining the health of your engine, and can help you identify a problem in the early stages. With early detection of small vehicle problems, we can correct them before the small problems become big problems.
Easily forgotten, but extremely important to your vehicle is your engine oil. If your vehicle is running low, fill it up! If the oil appears dirty or has a foul smell, you should have it changed. Changing the oil filter is another important step in maintaining your vehicle's health.
Checking your tires for uneven wear is another great way to notice if something is amiss. Odd and uneven tire wear is an indication that your alignment or suspension calibrations are incorrect. At this point it is prudent to let the professionals take a look at the problem and have it solved immediately. Allowing your tires to wear down unnaturally can cause a tire's strength to become compromised and increase the danger of a blow out. Additionally, spending money on new tires more often than you need to is just a waste of cash.
One thing that many folks often pass over is the coolant in their radiator. Running your car without engine coolant is like trying to run a triathlon while dehydrated; you may start off just fine but it's only a matter of time before you overheat and need to stop entirely. To check your engine coolant, take a look at the levels in the reserve tank. Don't remove the cap to the radiator! Unless the car has been sitting for several hours and is completely cooled down. Otherwise you could have scalding hot water gushing all over yourself and the car.
Inspecting your battery's health is another quick process you can do at your leisure. Checking the terminals or posts is a good idea; if corrosion has built up on these terminals, it may have been caused by a leak of acid around the terminal and you may not even be able to start your vehicle.
Automatic and manual transmission fluid should also be checked for level and condition on a regular basis. Inspecting these fluid levels is necessary when it comes to identifying a possible leaking transmission and poor fluid condition will cause rapid wear. As we all know, transmission problems quickly rack up a painful bill. There are several other checks that are important to increasing the life cycle of your vehicle.
Most of these steps should be taken on a monthly basis at the very least. Performing these checks before you take a long trip is definitely advisable; and letting a professional mechanic at Johnston's Automotive go through the whole process will save you time. Let us be the ones to ensure that your driving experience is rewarding and pleasurable. After all, we love your cars as much as you do.

Are you planning on running while on holiday? Find out what to pack for city breaks, beach holidays and trips to colder destinations.
Are you planning on running while on holiday? Find out what to pack for city breaks, beach holidays and trips to colder destinations.
Finding time for a run while you're on holiday will keep your fitness up and let you explore the local scenery at the same time.
If you're building up to a big race, it might be essential to keep to your running plan too. You don't want to come back home feeling sluggish and unfit.
What running kit should you take with you though? The first thing in your suitcase should be your running shoes – without them, you're unable to do anything.
Then you should check what the weather is going to be like. Don't just look at the overall climate, check out the latest weather forecasts . That's your first step in working out what holiday running gear to bring with you.
Beach holidays
If you're going somewhere hot, you'll want to take your run in the morning before temperatures soar too high. But even so, it can get pretty warm early on. So here are a few things to throw in your suitcase:
- Running shorts
- Breathable short sleeve running top
- Ankle socks
- Electrolyte tablets for hydration
- Backpack with built-in water supply
- Water bottle belt
- Cap
- Sweatbands
- Sun cream
City breaks
If you're off on a city break, though, you may still want to get some road running in. One of the benefits of a city break is you can pick up lots of essentials while you're there – sun cream and energy bars for instance.
But there are a few things you'll need to take with you alongside the clothes that match the temperatures:
- Reflective vest (so you stay safe around traffic)
- Backpack
- GPS device
Colder destinations
You'll need to pack a little bit more if you're going somewhere colder – maybe on a ski break. But you can pack smartly and still keep your luggage weight down:
- Packable, waterproof jackets
- Arm warmers
- Base layers
- Gloves
- Running tights

Paper Mario: Worlds Collide is the 5th installment in the Paper Mario series and is set for release on the Wii U in 2014.
It's a sunny day in the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario and Luigi wake up at the time. Luigi goes outside to check for mail and notices a letter from Professor E. Gadd. It turns out that E. Gadd wants to show Mario and Luigi an invention he's been working on. Luigi shows Mario the letter and they make their way to Professor E. Gadd's lab. When they arrive, E. Gadd shows Mario and Luigi his latest invention, the GaddPorter X. The GaddPorter X is a teleporter that can send you to another world. E. Gadd asks Mario if he can try out this invention. Mario agrees to do it and enters the teleporter. Meanwhile, at Princess Peach's Castle, Bowser has arrived on his airship and is about to do something to the castle. Toad rushes to Mario's house only to discover that Mario is in Professor E. Gadd's lab, testing out a new invention. Toad hurries into the lab and asks E. Gadd where Mario is. E. Gadd says he is in the teleporter and is about to be sent to a different world. Toad then gets into the teleporter with Mario and tells him about how Bowser has arrived once again. E. Gadd says "Well now I guess I have two test subjects" and presses the button on the GaddPorter X that would send it, along with Mario and Toad, to another world know as "The Real World"...

Cook's Notes
Reviews Add a comment
MrsHyland5 JAN, 2011One of my favorite weeknight meals! I add a couple handfuls of spinach to the pouch and substitute a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for the jalapeno.Reply
lovemynewkitchen12 JUL, 2010This will become a regular staple meal. It was super easy and so delicious. I used poblano peppers to ease up on the spice and skipped cilantro (husband hates it). I served it with a roasted broccoli and brown rice.Reply
MrsBabbs8 APR, 2010I made this for dinner tonight and it was AMAZING! I used chicken tenderloins and topped it with fresh mango before serving. It is definitely a keeperReply

I've got the Sennheisers that have multiple little green rings to fit around the earbud for a custom fit. I really love them. I bought them right after I got my iPod for Christmas, since the Apple earbuds were so godawful and wouldn't stay in my ears. Even with heavy sweating and in the rain the Sennheisers never have shorted out. When the day comes that they die I will buy another set in a heartbeat.

can't edit the app once it's added as a tab on my pageAsked by weatherport on October 24, 2013 at 01:03 PM
I have added it, it shows the form, but I want to change the title of the app and the icon.
I was able to edit yesterday but today it no longer works, I have removed and re-added the app, still same behavior.
Something broken on your end??
You are much right, I was able to reproduce the problem. Upon adding the App, it will set the name "Contact Form" and a generic icon. If I want to edit it, it will not work
I have now opened a ticket right away for our developers to see and fix it
thank you, will I need to reinstall the app or will it just start to work once you fix it?
JotForm Support
I'm not sure about your last question, as soon as we get news about it we will let you know on how to proceed once the app gets fixed.
Thanks for your patience
ok thank you, i was just asking if it would just start working one day or if once you fix things I will have to remove / reinstall / reconfigure the app on my FB page. thanks.

Featurette: Gangster Squad
4:00 PM on 01.10.2013 // Liz Rugg@LizRugg
I feel like I've been waiting for this movie since I saw Drive last year and now it's almost finally here! This brief featurette for Gangster Squad features short clips of some of the main actors describing what it was like to make this Los Angeles period piece. In short, it looks like it was a super fun time and I can't wait to see it.
Gangster Squad opens in theaters tomorrow, January 11th! All you really have to say is Ryan Gosling as a hero-cop in dashing suits and I'm there.

Take a ruler and measure straighten out the eyes abd ears, fluff out the pony tail where it's fastened, ink it if you know how and it should look pretty good.

Overview Edit
The goal of the Kansas Enterprise Electronic Preservation (KEEP) project is to build an enterprise-wide (all three government branches), trustworthy digital repository for Kansas government electronic records with long-term value. The system is being designed to support certification of authenticity for specific record sets on a fee basis. The project team aims to integrate KEEP with the Kansas Legislative Information Systems and Services (KLISS) system.
A major catalyst for the development of KEEP has been Kansas House Bill 2195 (2010) authorizing the State Archivist to set standards for maintaining the authenticity of electronic government records, certify systems for compliance with the standards, and serve as agent for authenticating records.
KEEP has a funding model that is based on several resource streams: funds from IT projects that house records with retentions of 10 or more years, maintenance fees related to the quantity and format of the records in KEEP, and fees for authenticating records.[1]

The Old Vine Inn
Great area, pub, food & hosts.
Very relaxing stay
We had a very pleasant stay which was very relaxing, as the room was quiet.
The owners were very welcoming and helpful when we asked to change our check in time. We left early in the morning so didn't want breakfast, but were were offered it. The room.was immaculate with everything we needed. This is a great place to stay for visiting east Sussex and is situated with some lovely countryside surrounding it.

Excellent stay

Very enjoyable stay.

Lovely accommodation & surrounding area
Late rooms didn't seem to be up to date with information from the owners as there was no restaurant,therefore no breakfast as stated on late rooms site & no fault of current owners of the accommodation,however lovely accommodation & staff (which is being renovated for new owners) & superb surrounding Sussex area.
Dirty and unloved
When I arrived I was told there was no food available, which in hind sight was a positive as I really would not want to eat in this place.
My room was dirty, bathroom still had toothpaste all over shelf which had not been cleaned, mugs tea/coffee rings in. Rubbish left from previous guest not cleared from room. Bedroom key fit all rooms.

Disappointed, need to up their game
Bedroom was good, nice clean sheets.
No milk on tea tray, No drinking glasses provided. Bar area and dining area were in need of a deep clean, carpet, table, cutlery, and glasses were dirty. Gentleman serving was in track suit which was in need of a clean. Food was excellent as was the beer, however distracted by the general uncleanliness. Disappointed, would not recommend in current state.

Good overall, but a few minor areas for improvement
Lovely traditional style pub, and great food.
Helpful and friendly communication beforehand, and helpful with setting out flowers as requested. Good size warm room with decent furnishings. Bathroom was small and needed a bit of care (loose shelf, rail etc). Could do with a lick of paint, but overall a nice stay in a nice pub with great food.

Stayed One Night
We found the accommodation very comfortable and quiet.
The breakfast was excellent.
Read More Less
Total lack of reception except when payment was required.
Unprofessional, with my room not heated until I arrived, with temperatures at zero. Checked out after one night. Very disappointing. Breakfast prepared by chef in her pyjama's and assistant using strong disinfectant to do a mob job around the bar area, while I was expected to eat. The whole experience was disappointing as the site shows a well kept establishment. It is rundown needing loads of attention.

Work stop over
Very nice attractive pub.
Good value for money. The only issue I had - didn't do breakfast until 0830 hrs. No cooked breakfast, due to leaving at 0715 hrs. However - was supplied with a cracking ham & cheese "doorstop" sandwich to take away.
