A couple of dollar bills are tucked into Pamela Canellas's cleavage. With a flurry of boa feathers sprouting from the base of her ponytail and floating down half the length of her five-foot, three-inch body, Canellas is working her French manicure into the sides of her red-sequined Charo getup. Here, in the privacy of the concierge's storage closet at Hollywood's Diplomat Hotel, she seizes the money, throws it on a rack next to tubs of economy-size Dove dishwashing soap, and peels off a long satiny glove.
"Ah, can you believe this? Some guy out there gave me money -- two bucks," she says, rolling her eyes, the lids of which are dusted in gold glitter. "I mean, I never do this. I don't take money ever. I tell my dancers not to, but this guy was with his wife, and he was old. Like, you know, he was just out trying to have a good time. He was smiling and I didn't want to make him feel bad by rejecting it."
Canellas crinkles her forehead and moves the Velcroed fabric around like a jigsaw puzzle over her torso. "We call this the Britney,'" she says, arranging the outfit to resemble the green belly-dancing bikini Ms. Spears wore during an awards show. "Two dollars, though?" she adds. "If you're gonna try to give us money, I mean, c'mon."
It's hard to argue with her. Canellas deserved more than meter fare. Earlier, at about 11:00 p.m., she and a dancer named Maria had emerged from this concierge closet in these ay mami outfits, throwing attitude around the ostensibly civilized Diplomat, and clicking their Lucite heels across the marble floor. You could just feel the guests' cardigans shrivel as Canellas and compatriot sashayed past, their backsides ballooning out of two teeny red leotards.
Staring at 30-foot scalloped ceilings inside the mouth of Satine, the hotel's swank new lounge, they paused. The bellhops chuckled, and a lone whistle complimented them. In an "It's showtime!" way, they shimmied into the club, mounted two pedestals, and, to a disco beat, made the best of their three square feet. They wiggled and posed like showgirls trapped in phone booths: cutesy turns, winks, hip thrusts, and Vanna White arms.
Suddenly the place went from looking like a rich couple's wedding reception to a real party. The house lights faded and waiters stepped up their pace. Women dressed in sensible black tops and pencil skirts leaned over the bar, waving tens and twenties, ordering Manhattans. Sucking on thin straws, they scoped the suits who might buy their next round of poison. The guys -- all soft-in-the-belly corporate climbers -- floated around, standing behind the club's high-backed chairs, talking absentmindedly while their eyeballs locked on the dancing girls. The DJ spliced some Donna Summer, striking a familiar chord with the patrons, who were now wagging their hips on the dance floor.
"When I go out there, I have to shine," Canellas explains later. "No one cares if you're having a bad day or you're on your period. This is about 100 percent presence. I see people here, like, who probably never let go. We're here to say, It's okay.'"
Canellas isn't the patron saint of good times; she has made a $267,000-per-year business out of helping people get down. Her company, Hot Jam Entertainment, books about 100 dancers and performers at clubs from South Beach to West Palm. With a massive wardrobe, Hot Jam promises to fulfill any fantasy a club owner can conjure. If Miami Beach's Krave wants rump-shakers fit for a Ja Rule video, if Pearl needs model babes, or if Club Space calls for couples dressed like Raggedy Ann and Andy or Han Solo and Princess Leia, a call goes out to Hot Jam.
This is the second year Canellas has held accounts with Broward County clubs, trying to infuse some cool into its pedestrian bar scene. Named after the prostitute in Moulin Rouge, Satine is trying to hook a clientele tired of Saturday night in the suburbs.
Alain Ricci, marketing director for Penrod Enterprises, which owns Satine, is optimistic. "A lot of people say, Why are you opening that kind of club here, in the middle of Hollywood? Why not South Beach, where it's less of a risk?' But there is a market here," he insists.
Cleve Mash, owner of Boca Raton's Club Radius, has brought in Hot Jam dancers consistently since opening two years ago. "I'm not going to hire dancers and have the same ones every week," he reasons. "If you don't have variety, patrons go elsewhere. Pamela can send dancers for a pajama party tonight and a fetish party tomorrow."
There is no definition for club dancing in the Oxford Dictionary of Dance, nor can the term be found in any other tome. The closest listing is à gogo, late Fifties-era American Bandstand chicks doing the jerk on a pedestal. Although history is murky, VH1 -- the most reliable archival source for such digging -- maintains that à gogo went the way of blue eyeshadow as baby boomers preferred to party with Mother Nature rather than remain cooped up in a club.
In the early Eighties, thanks to Studio 54's trapeze performers and queens on stilts, go-go dancing experienced a brief renaissance. But it was largely upstaged during much of the decade by New York City's club kids, androgynous rats with tubs of Manic Panic and loads of drugs who invited a law-enforcement crackdown, which then led to a more antiseptic club culture. In the Nineties kids reacted to that by creating a nation of ravers; this group fragmented several years ago. Some went along with a corporate drive to sponsor lame, mass dance fests and brand-name, once-anonymous DJs. But many others, joined by hip-hoppers with scads of disposable income for VIP tables and Cristal, returned to the velvet rope.
The result: the renaissance in nightclubs.
In South Florida's mecca of sex and leisure, platform dancing is little more than wallpaper. But the dancers are there, working every night to titillate a crowd, fool their Saturday-night subconscious into believing there's a 50-foot woman in the house, a chick larger than life with her exhibitionistic ass shaking.
Of course club dancing -- the form -- is far from the Bolshoi, a fact that reveals its social status. In other words, company dancers who build careers on a lifetime of training often dismiss club dancers as mere strobe candy. They allege that clubbers are without technique just as Broadway dancers scorn cruise-ship kicklines. Meanwhile club dancers bristle at the insinuation they are in any way burlesque. "The only drawback to this is that when I tell people I'm a dancer, they want to know where I strip," Canellas says. "We are real dancers, we entertain, we put on a show. Anyone who sees us knows that. It makes me feel bad when someone asks that. I go out of my way to say, 'With clothes.'"
Yet Hot Jam dancers are all sexy, the result of twice-a-day workouts and strict dieting for many. "I expect my girls to look very beautiful," Canellas says. "They have to be very fit, and when they show up for a job, I want the hair done and the makeup perfect. I want the people we dance for to get the whole package."
And the owner demonstrates that by example. The Chilean-born 34-year-old is slim and tan with pillowy breasts and a flat stomach punctuated by a crystal navel ring. Canellas's favorite movie is Flashdance, the story of a stripper who auditions for ballet school. She asks, "Have you seen Flashdance?" when trying to convey the style Hot Jam emulates. So don't come with that arm-pumping, repetitive grinding that passes for dance on the floor. "No flailing," she once told two girls with J.Lo butts and wild hair they kept whipping around. "I want to see extensions, full-out turns, keep it tight. Control."
But practically speaking, there are myriad reasons why girls want to dance for Hot Jam. Some who audition -- the only way to get a spot with the company -- are driven by video-chick envy. Many have just arrived in America looking for a job that favors body language over English. But most Hot Jam dancers are trained performers who want to make extra money.
I worked for Hot Jam for a few months earlier this year and have platform-danced for money in other cities. I took the part-time job because, for me, dance is a singular experience; even ballroom and company dance depends strongly on individual personality. Club dancing is a way to escape into oneself. It is tied up in the need to express oneself physically without consequence. And though I'm loath to say it: gender power. Women are pushed and prodded and hit on and talked to without invite in a club, a place where, sexually, anything goes. Dancing alone, even while perched on some pedestal to be gawked at, is a way to feel physically protected and somewhat superior.
I too told everyone before they asked: "With clothes." My parents, who paid for sixteen years of tap, ballet, and jazz lessons, little more than shrugged: "That's fine, dear. Why don't you send us some pictures or something and we'll e-mail them to the rest of the family." Practical Midwesterners, my mother and father looked forward to my bringing in more money to supplement the lifestyle they had quietly, politely figured was mired in career poverty. To them dancing seemed about as respectable as being a journalist.
Part of Hot Jam's success owes to its partnership with Level nightclub. Likewise Hot Jam dancers are "walking mouthpieces" for his venue, says Level co-owner Gerry Kelly. Last month he paid for the dancers to compete in the first American Go Go Dancing Championship at Manhattan's Webster Hall. "I am critical of people who don't know how to throw a good party, where you show up and there's only a DJ," Kelly sniffs. "What Pamela understands is what makes a party a party. I can tell her I'm having President Clinton in and she will do an amazing show with costumes that, you know, won't embarrass me. People say to me, 'What is it like being Gerry Kelly?' Well, I can say that what I need are people like Pamela who share my vision for a fabulous event."
Theme parties or corporate events can cost thousands of dollars; price is typically calculated according to the number of costume changes. Cleve Mash of Club Radius in Boca says he usually pays Hot Jam $600 for three dancers who make three costume changes on a typical night. For the dancers, a typical night means arriving at a venue at midnight, an hour before the first performance at 1:00 a.m. They perform fifteen minutes every hour. "We just want to give a taste," Canellas says. "Besides, any longer and the makeup runs, the girls sweat."
Danny Danny, Hot Jam's costume designer, is a crazy-haired redhead with more fizz than a shaken soda can. On a humid day in mid-June, the designer, who does not have a last name, sits in the waiting room of Hot Jam's dance studio on Thirteenth Street between Washington and Collins. He's wearing royal-blue nylon pants, a fanny pack, and a tank top through which poke freckled skinny arms. Danny Danny is grinning because his mood meter is always tipped on the happy side.
Canellas is holding auditions this afternoon and he's come down to see the new crop. Above Danny Danny's head, on the bordello-red walls, hang pictures of dancers wearing his creations. "Bianka" is dressed in a red, white, and blue half-top and hot pants, flirtatiously waving the American flag. "Elsy" sports a pink, patent-leather cabby hat and rain slicker. And Canellas, curtsying like Shirley Temple, is decked out in a bust-enhancing leotard. Danny Danny has made thousands of costumes for Hot Jam; they fill Canellas's Coral Gables two-car garage from floor to ceiling.
The two met about ten years ago on South Beach; they're now roommates. "I knew Danny was a talent who hadn't yet been tapped," she says. "He used to get in trouble on the Beach -- you know, drugs. So I said, 'Here, come with me.' He was always at my house working on his designs, so I thought, 'Just move in.'"
At first Danny Danny talks softly, with a strong Spanish accent, then builds to a furious, giggling crescendo. I ask him what has been his most challenging design. "My favorite costume is when I design for the girls a beautiful skirt which becomes a giant serpent!" he exclaims, leaping up to mimic a skirt unfurling. "It was so beautiful! Like a big snake, er, that slither up the body. Very sexy. Very sleek." He runs his palm along his torso. "I want to enhance the girls' natural ... ah hum!"
When I laugh at Danny Danny's enthusiasm, he begins laughing too. A kid with Mark McGrath good looks whom Canellas eyed dancing at crobar is sitting in the corner. He asks us what exactly is meant by "training" on the Hot Jam information sheet that all auditioners must fill out. Mark, who has never seen a dance barre, is wearing white tube socks, black shoes, and wrinkled Dockers pants. I stick around and watch him. He demonstrates a male-dance-revue hip-grinding appropriate for any club's gay night.
Across the room stand two young women who are tucked, lifted, plucked, and stuffed into tiny midriff tops and hot pants that reveal a cleft in the rear. They chat busily about West Dade's Dolphin Mall, a club-wear gold mine.
But no matter how much flesh auditioners may flash, it doesn't matter if they can't dance. Later a woman shows up in cargo pants and T-shirt and mentions that she dances with the Miami women's basketball team's "Sol Patrol"; it's an old audition-intimidation strategy. Soon a vigorous debate has begun on whether the Sol dance squad is more talented than the Heat cheerleaders.
Just then Canellas bops out of her office and skips around, embracing everyone like a sorority president. She tugs on her Hot Jam T-shirt, which is tied just underneath her breasts, looks at the list of people to audition, and quickly chooses an unexpected Hall and Oates sample remix. "Okay, let's see what you guys got!" she laughs, drawing red velvet curtains between the studio and waiting room.
One by one, each dances freestyle for Canellas. The Sol dancer's moves are good and make a woman named Ana, whose business cards say she is a singer-songwriter, wonder aloud if she should change her footwear (go-go boots) or hairstyle (a curious Leaning Tower of Pisa up-do). If Tracey Ullman were to impersonate a Hot Jam hopeful, she might borrow Ana's outfit: a tiny black skirt, wide-hole fishnets, and a flowery shirt buttoned up several inches above her navel.
Employed as a singer at several Coral Gables nightspots, she describes her talent as "flamenco with pop qualities." Ana, a recent transplant from Los Angeles, says she worked off and on at various go-go joints on Sunset Strip. "I moved here because I'm Latin and I wanted to get closer to that," she says. "But this is so insane! It's like so crazy, you know, because L.A. has a street with a few clubs. But Miami has a street with twenty clubs! Who ever heard of such a thing? It's like a fantasy."
Ana is cut off when her name is called.
Canellas: Thanks for coming. So you're a singer, huh?
Ana: Yes.
Canellas: Do you always wear your hair like that?
Ana: [Silence]
Canellas: Well, since you're a singer, why don't you sing?
It turns out Ana has a wonderful voice, God's make-up gesture for her Mr. Roboto moves. As Canellas leads Ana to the door, she reassures her: "We sometimes get calls for cabaret singers." Ana smiles widely and runs to her car to get a demo tape.
The rest of the afternoon is rounded out with two male ballroom dancers and a woman whose bikini tan lines jut up from the rim of her low-slung Brazilian jeans. Amazingly she moves with ease in her Lucite high-heel clogs. She says she's a regular at a Fort Lauderdale beer bar. Her eleven-year-old daughter shows up about halfway through and watches. At the end of mom's audition, Canellas says gently: "You need a little more training."
Back in the late Eighties, when South Beach began taking off, Canellas's life was very different. Raised by strict parents who had emigrated from Chile in the Seventies to escape Gen. Augusto Pinochet's reign of terror, Canellas spent much of her adolescence alone. Her mother and father worked long hours at Miami factories to earn half the income they earned in their homeland. "My father was an executive with a telephone company and my mother was a housewife," she recounts. "When we came here, we couldn't afford dance lessons anymore."
Despite her honor-student status at Miami Sunset Senior High School, she wasn't very street smart. Indeed it came as a shock to her when, at age sixteen, she discovered she was five months pregnant. "I really had no one to talk to about sex," she says. "I really did not have a clue about why I was getting so fat."
To her surprise, Canellas's parents supported her. She married her high school boyfriend, gave birth to daughter Nikki, moved into an apartment, and got her GED. At age eighteen she divorced. "My ex-husband is a Cuban guy, and so, you know, he thought I should be only a mother and wife," she recounts. "I was like, 'No.' I mean, I wanted to be a star! You don't understand, like when he would go to sleep, I would put headphones on and move around a little and just groove."
A single mom, Canellas moved back into her parents' Hialeah home. A friend told her about a club called Stardom in Kendall that was looking for dancers. She auditioned, got the job, and began bringing home $50 per night, five times a week, while her mother baby-sat Nikki. "The sets were twenty minutes each and I had to make my own costumes," she remembers. "I would fall asleep every night driving home because I wasn't a night person."
Canellas moved to South Beach in the early Nineties to get better gigs. She was living hand-to-mouth. Court records confirm that she had to sue her ex to get years' worth of unpaid child support. "The money didn't hurt me -- I was working all the time to make ends meet," she explains. "What hurts me is that he left Nikki out of his life. I've seen that child have a Father's Day gift and wait for her dad to show up, and he never does. She has birthdays and he doesn't call. I told him I would waive the backed-up child support if he just started paying more attention to her."
Canellas's experiences as a mother and a struggling dancer have made her sensitive to employees who are mothers. "I danced until I was seven months along," says Angelike Lapiere, a top Hot Jam performer in the Nineties. "I remember one night at Level. I was a flying mermaid and everyone loved it because I had these enormous boobs and no one could tell I was pregnant!"
Lapiere says Canellas understands that club dancing is a job that caters to a woman's sexuality: "There is this side that's sexy and wants to show off and the other side that needs to feel safe. I suppose it's like wanting to feel in control in an atmosphere that is not always under control."
By the time she was 22 years old, Canellas stood out among South Beach dancers, who were often zonked on drugs or liquor. (Hot Jam dancers are forbidden to drink or do drugs while working.) Despite being a clearly focused self-starter, she wound up in massive credit-card debt from buying new costumes. "Some of the promoters would say, 'Bring one of your friends to dance,' so I would stupidly bring someone and pay them out of my own pocket. That all ended and I got wise about how this should be a business when a club manager didn't pay me. I lost a lot of money and decided that wasn't gonna happen again."
Over the next ten years Canellas struggled to become a star. The closest she came was singing with the Merenbooty Girls, Sony Latin's answer to the Spice Girls. The group sang "Venus" and "It's Raining Men" at state fairs, and managed to sell records in Latin America. But fame was elusive. The label dropped them at the end of 1997, the same year they were signed. In 1998 she incorporated Hot Jam. "I went to Barnes & Noble and read every book on how to start your own business and followed [them] point by point." Her experience as a legal secretary -- a day job she kept for several years -- also helped. Starting with six employees, all dancers, Canellas sewed and washed costumes. She didn't make a profit until 2001, when she began regularly booking 30 dancers and hired Danny Danny and an assistant for herself. She advertised her business for the first time this year. "I never needed to advertise," she says, "because word-of-mouth took care of me."
At Level on a late-March night, I sit with three girls in the club's dank bowels. It's 1:30 a.m. and we've been waiting almost two hours for Canellas to deliver costumes so we can dance the required three sets and get out of here by 4:00 a.m.
Thirty-one-year-old Elsy Barrios is asleep on a ratty couch. Her black mane is swung across her face to block whatever sliver of light makes it through the door. A lithe pixie named Mary, just off a plane from her hometown of Paris, is chatting in French on her cell phone with her boyfriend. A woman dressed in ripped jeans and a knit tube top bursts through the door with the fierceness of Grace Jones. "Where are the costumes?" she asks, lighting a cigarette. "We're going to go really soon, right?"
Elsy swings her legs over the edge of the couch, flips open her cell phone, and calls Canellas. Her sunglasses hang on the edge of her nose as she speaks in Spanish to the boss. She hangs up. "They are on their way," she says, rolling her eyes. "I tell you," the former Venezuelan ballet dancer says in broken English, "this happen all the time. It is frustrated. Very, like, annoying."
A member of Miami's New Century Dance Company, Elsy has little patience for the lowbrow world of club dancing. "I like Pamela. She helps the girls, and she helps me," Elsy says. "But to me, she is -- how should I say -- a baby. In the ballet it is a military, very strict. Here it is too loose for me. It seems unprofessional. She is trying, but to me she is still a child."
A suitcase filled with plastic bags that contain costumes is thrown into this makeshift dressing room. No can tell who tossed it. The girls devour the case. Elsy and Mary wiggle into bright yellow-and-green skirts with hems held straight out by wirelike hoops. They pin giant butterflies in their hair and grab glittery wands, then quickly make their way through Level's packed crowd to dance atop an opera booth.
Up next: me and Ms. Jones. We are wearing J.Lo body suits with black, fingerless gloves, which I guess make it easier to grip the checkered racing flags I'm handed. I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to be, perhaps a sexy NASCAR babe. Grace lowers the zipper that runs down the front of the bodysuit and lifts her breasts into her black, push-up bra. She pulls a black wig over her cropped white afro and brushes it out. I lacquer my lips, smooth my hair, and sprinkle glitter between my breasts (a trick that is supposed to make me appear a cup-size bigger).
Grace takes another drag on her cig and motions for us to go. We push through the crowd and she helps me climb a dilapidated wooden ladder to a stage platform. Careful not to trip on thick cables snaking across the platform, I dance. Grace is snarling. She's holding onto a thin metal pipe, which is supposed to keep us from falling off the edge of the platform and into the swarm below. She's thrusting her pelvis and whipping her checkered flag. I notice that she is consciously not looking at me. So I don't look at her. I stare into the strobe lights and they blind me. Occasionally I break my aloofness and fixate on some guy in the audience who is staring at me. My next fifteen-minute set is spent wrestling a two-and-a-half-foot-tall feathered headpiece that catches a strong blast of air from a vent and nearly knocks me over. I wear a sequined skirt and a matching bikini top.
The DJ is spinning house, a music genre I don't much like, but I hear from other dancers that I should be thankful for these four-to-the-floor beats because I'm more likely to get groped in a hip-hop club.
As required I have purchased the things Canellas requires of new dancers -- short black dance pants, black-and-flesh-colored fishnets, one black and one white padded push-up bra, a wig cap, and two pairs of go-go boots: one white, one black. Total cost: about $300.
That night I earn $100 and decide not to quit my day job. Most dancers keep their daytime gigs because Hot Jam rarely provides a dependable schedule; they are usually on-call as promoters make last-minute party decisions. For dancers to earn anything resembling a decent living, they must be in demand at several clubs and work more than one place per night each week.
Dilcia Muñoz is a regular at Club Space and Level. The twenty-year-old began dancing two years ago to pay her way through Miami-Dade Community College. Trained at Salsa Lovers dance studios, which is owned and founded by her brother-in-law, she was a natural fit at Hot Jam. She often performs in more than one club a night, making ends meet by also appearing on a Spanish-language television show called Wet and Wild twice a month. Recently Muñoz beat out hundreds of other women for a spot in a Lenny Kravitz video, a job for which Canellas acted as her agent. "I got paid $300 for the video and Pamela, I think, took $60," Muñoz says. "But I really don't honestly know what the numbers are. There are some dancers who are curious about that."
Like most dancers, Hot Jam performers are generally just happy to be employed. Muñoz, like all Hot Jam dancers I spoke with, maintains a loyalty to her boss that includes an assumption she is paid fairly. "Of course we'd like to get paid more, but Pamela pays us what she can, I'm sure," Muñoz reasons.
Canellas says she takes a minimal share of what her dancers make. Percentages vary according to the job. "I charge based on costume changes," Canellas says. "If Level wants three costume changes, then I charge a percentage cut of that. But the girls always get $100 per night. If we have rehearsals, then I pay them a little more, like 50 bucks or something. If there is some money left over, I try to give it to them. My girls are my family and I try to take care of them."
Of the approximately $270,000 Hot Jam grossed last year, Canellas says she took home only about $20,000.
"It's hard enough trying to get booked by someone as a performer without wondering about the specifics of that," says Eric Davis, one of a small group of male dancers Canellas employs. "We are a family, and I believe we love each other as a family."
Although Davis sounds a bit sugar-coated when he says "family," he's hit on a basic principle of Hot Jam: security. Just as ravers created their own safe space, so do club dancers. They literally dance in a space protected from the crowd. Unlike strippers they don't have to engage anyone for money. And with rare exceptions, they are never supposed to touch or be touched. Figuratively speaking, they've gained some kind of special acceptance in an often-finicky, snotty subculture. They get inside clubs through the back door, never mind that velvet rope. And that to many is a privilege.
Thomas Frank's opus on the Sixties counterculture, The Conquest of Cool, reasons that "consumer society" relies upon "unrestraint," which he defines as freedom in spending time and money to achieve and take pleasure without shame. So when someone raises an eyebrow after I say "club dancing," I don't invoke the tired argument that we're turning a sexist society on its head by getting paid to bump and grind on a pedestal. It's as simple -- and unrealistic -- as the grunge-era feminist ideology proposed by the riot grrrls. Whether they're strippers or scientists, women should support women no matter how they make a living.

The night I danced at Level, I walked back to my car, about five blocks from the club, at 4:30 a.m. Anyone who's ever been on South Beach at that hour on a weekend night understands the false sense of safety. I wasn't thinking about anything; I was tired and just wanted to go home. It was spring-break time and the night air was unusually breezy. To curb the chill I felt from my sweat-soaked neck, I wore a sweatshirt that covered my shorts. I was still wearing layers of makeup and tan fishnets.
As I rounded a corner, two frat boys leaned out of their pickup truck. They shouted to me something like "Wooh ... ass ... yeah ... fuck!" They did the same thing to another woman who was also walking to her car. On my last block, a guy on a bicycle leered at me and slobbered a Spanish catcall. I flinched and found my keys.
I started the ignition and drove, feeling safe inside my car. Once I got to the MacArthur Causeway I rolled down the window to breathe in the last few hours of darkness and let the wind cool me.

Adelaide United boss Josep Gombau reckons Western Sydney's busy Asian Champions League schedule will help - not hinder - the young club heading into the final month of the regular A-League season.
The Wanderers battled fatigue, jetlag and a soggy Pirtek Stadium on Saturday evening to hold the competition's most prolific goal scorers to a 0-0 draw.
It was a mighty effort, given six of the home side's 11 starters had only arrived from China a day earlier following Thursday's historic ACL win over Guizhou Renhe.
It was the first time in 12 matches the Reds failed to score a goal - ending a league-high run.
But Gombau was left satisfied and said he was hardly surprised at the Wanderers' stamina.
"I think that one team is doing two competitions.
"Everybody wants to play very good to have a chance to play," he said.
"This is an extra motivation for everybody and I don't expect that they will be tired at any moment."
Despite walking away with one point, the Wanderers slid to third on the ladder - leapfrogged by Melbourne Victory late on Saturday night thanks to their 2-1 win over Perth Glory.
They sit one point behind Victory and 10 behind leaders Brisbane.
And while Tony Popovic's men haven't won a game in three A-League rounds, the coach isn't worried.
"We went from the disappointment of Sydney FC, where we didn't perform badly but we lost the game, three days later lessons are learnt and it's a fantastic win, a historic moment in the ACL, then you come back and you have to respond," Popovic said.
"And every one of those players responded. They're out on their feet, they gave everything they had."
The Wanderers have just three days before their third ACL group match, against Japanese side Kawasaki Frontale at Parramatta Stadium.

As the gourmet junk food oxymoron of a trend gathers pace, two industry heavyweights (who happen to be married) have entered the fray, offering up the combination of gourmet hotdogs and grower champagne.
Sandia Chang (most recently at Roganic) and husband James Knappett (ex-The Ledbury) are set to open Bubbledogs on Charlotte Street in the next couple of weeks, and it's a place that's taking its drinks rather seriously, with a stellar line-up of sparkling wines, a five-strong, constantly changing cocktail list and its own specially blended gin occupying pride of place on the back bar.
Bubbledogs, 70 Charlotte Street, London, W1T 4QG; 020 7637 7770

Hunh, I saw that module but the "This module doesn't have a UI" part made me assume it probably wasn't widely used
I guess for your needs, it was needing to programmatically check for the argument that led to needing this solution?
I think there are basically two paradigms to related content -- it's either specific to that exact product (which is usually more appropriate for the CCK solution, since it's just putting fields from the node that you enter as usual into tabs), or generic across many products (better for the QuickTabs-style approach).
You can also get to the former using the latter by using arguments. For example, display a one-item view in a tab that takes in the product or some other field as the argument and uses that to pull up the relevant screenshots or category-specific FAQ or something. Or you could plunk in the views from uc_views. QuickTabs is also a very popular and well-supported module.
I'm asking this for the purposes of theming (of course ) -- if we were to include tab styling in a theme, what approach should it be for, what solution gives the most flexibility?

Remember Trespass, the shoot-'em-up starring Ice-T and Ice Cube? If you think you blinked and missed it, you're right. In its first three weeks of release, the $15 million racially charged actioner made only $11.5 million, and producer Bob Gale (Back to the Future) blames the failure on Universal. "Releasing it at Christmas was a major mistake," he says. "The content was not appropriate for the season."
Questions of timing have haunted Trespass. Originally titled Looters, it was scheduled for a July release, but in the wake of April's L.A. riots Universal postponed the premiere and changed the name. Gale says the studio then buried Trespass in the Christmas rush, skimped on marketing, and sold the film as a blaxploitation flick.
All of which is denied by marketing chief Si Kornblit, who insists Universal spent heavily on Trespass and "did not target it like an ethnic film." Adds a studio spokesman, "Audiences didn't like it as much as the critics did. The same thing would have happened no matter when it opened."
Gale isn't buying it: "This movie has been the studio's bastard child from the very beginning."

Is there a baby on the way for Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom?
The NBA star's dad Joe Odom recently claimed that the couple are expecting their first child, telling RumorFix.com, "I got a little news. I'm about ready to have a grandchild!"
Hold the celebration, though: A source close to Khloé tells US Weekly that she's in fact not pregnant.
Though the reality star hasn't commented on the latest rumor, she did recently talk about their desire for a family, saying, "Lamar and I do want kids and it will happen when it's in God's plan to happen."

Prosecuting Attorney Cody Hiland announced at last week's Van Buren County Quorum Court meeting that the investigation into the Highway 110 Volunteer Fire Department's expenditures is continuing.
Hiland said the investigation is in the hands of the Arkansas State Police and few details can be released at this time.
Earlier, Hiland had asked the Legislative Auditing Committee to look into the situation that was brought to his attention by Lucas Emberton, the current treasurer of the organization and also a sheriff's deputy.
Also at the July 19 Quorum Court meeting, justices of the peace voted to allow the county judge to sign a consent agreement to the extension and assignment of a lease with Ozark Health Inc.
In Resolution 2012-12, the justices of the peace voted unanimously to authorize Judge Roger Hooper to sign the agreement.
JP James Kirkendoll had the only comment, noting that the county was trying to negotiate a deal with Ozark Health for county prisoners' medical care and saying this might be a good bargaining chip.
However, the agreement is for bond purposes, not actually a lease extension, according to other JPs.
The JPs also passed a resolution adding three new members to the County Equalization Board. Those members are Sonya Washington, Sherrin Richardson and Bob Patterson. They resolution also reappointed Don Hensley to the board.
The JPs heard a pitch from local businessman John Hastings to convert county-owned vehicles to run on natural gas.
Hastings said he is now installing natural-gas conversion kits and said the savings potential for fuel costs is substantial. He said it costs about $6,500 per vehicle and that the mayor has already ordered one for the city.
Hastings said he is also looking into opening a station to sell natural gas for vehicles.
Hooper suggested the county convert one vehicle and see how they like it. He then said the vehicle that would be converted will be the pickup he drives.

Is the "farm labor crisis" phony? CNBC had recent coverage called "More data on the phony farm labor crisis."
Why was the farm labor crisis phony? The author surmises that because profits are up for farmers in many states, the concern about farm labor is overblown.
As one reader comment to that article states, that is a clumsy, if tempting, conclusion to make. You cannot exclusively equate profits or lack thereof with farm labor. But you get the sense that the consumer media is tiring of the repeated warning signals about farm labor shortages. The author, John Carney, writes:
Every summer, newspapers around the country roll out stories of a labor shortage on farms. The fruit is going to rot in the orchards, crops will go unpicked, agricultural communities will be devastated unless something is done, the stories predict.
His point, I guess, is that there hasn't been enough carnage of "rotting crops" to justify all the alarm over the farm labor shortage.
Ironically, CNBC also had coverage that called the California labor availability for farmers the worst in years.
So I ask readers to rate the farm labor supply. What it is like in 2012?
A question for the Fresh Produce Industry Discussion Group is this:
Labor available for picking fruits and vegetables this year has been ...
Extremely tight
Moderately tight
About equal to demand
Slight surplus
Much more than demand
How do you rate the farm labor crisis - phony or all too real?

Nursing has always been considered a highly established profession with solid job security for many, even in the midst of troubling economic conditions. In fact, a recent US News and World Report's list of the Best 100 Jobs shows both nurse and nurse practitioner in the Top 10. And it's a respected profession as well: A 2013 Gallup poll showed 82 percent of Americans rate the ethical and honesty standards of nurses as "high or very high," the highest of all professions.
Yet despite talk of an impending nursing shortage over the next few years, some believe there is an even bigger crisis looming, one that stems from the very heart of the career — education. Quite simply, nursing students are not as prepared as they should be for the "real world" of nursing and patient care.
This skills deficit is all-encompassing. There is a lack of the basic technical skills, such as physical assessment and emergency response. But the equal lack of "soft skills," such as critical thinking, problem recognition, prioritization and recognition of urgency, and communication with physicians, is just as alarming.
Perhaps the most unfortunate part is these serious gaps aren't being caught early on in the nurse's education. As a result, we're seeing many young professionals get far enough down the nursing education path that when they reach the clinical phase of their education, it is too late to catch up and too onerous for supervising nurses to help them.
A Lack of Education
This lack of education isn't just affecting entry-level nurses. In fact, many nurses are not learning the in-demand skills that can help them take their career to the next level. For example, there is an increased demand for nursing administrators in hospitals, labs, and other health care settings. These nurses get competitive salaries and also receive a number of other benefits. Yet a study published in The Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Safety, well before the implementation of the Affordable Care Act showed many new nurses entering the profession felt "poorly" or "very poorly" prepared by their nursing education programs to implement quality improvement measures; these are duties demanded of nurse administrators and ones that will be in higher demand as ACA takes full effect.
Of course it's not as though these issues have arisen independent of the dramatic changes in the overall health care and nursing landscape. To be sure, today, the complexity of patient care is exponentially greater than it was five years ago, due to technological advances in care, decreased length of patient stay, and rapidity of change. This has undoubtedly changed the way nurses should—and need to be—learning. And what they should be learning is how to provide quality patient-centered care, where doctors, nurses, and other hospital personnel work together as an integrated team to make sure the patient has the best outcome and experience possible.
One of the barriers to achieving this level of care is that although there is far more complexity to the state of nursing today and more educational material to be covered in the same amount of time, clinical education is still being conducted as it was in the 1960s. Then, nursing education consisted of all of the familiar courses, such as anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, and medical-surgical nursing. The difference was that typically after six months of school the students were actually in charge of nursing divisions, which allowed them to be immersed in the clinical arena rather quickly.
By contrast, today many nursing school faculty simply don't have the clinical skills that are being demanded of their students following graduation. Instead, they have concentrated on nursing theory rather than the practical aspects of actually dealing with doctors and patients, which doesn't help their students post-graduation. And, as is the criticism with the education system overall in this country, many feel that nursing schools are simply gearing their programs to teach students to take tests—in this case NCLEX (National Council Licensure Examination).
Improvements in Nursing Education and Skills
With millions of previously uninsured Americans ready to join the patient population in the next two years, it is more critical than ever to ensure our nurses are in the position to provide the best possible service.
Here is how we might accomplish this goal:
Establish nursing residency programs. It's a model that works extremely well for physicians, so why not for nurses? In fact, the Institute of Medicine's recent report, "Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health," recommends residency programs to aid the transition from education to practice. Given the increasing role many nurses are playing in health care, it would appear to be a logical next step.
Increase clinical competence. Nursing schools will benefit from a curriculum that focuses on real-life applications rather than just abstract classroom learning, as well as increasing interdisciplinary education and the skill set to work as a team. This would entail hiring faculty with a solid mix of clinical and academic skills and experience. The idea is to bring in the best of both worlds—instructors who can speak from personal experience about the conditions or situations they are teaching.
Create better academic/clinical synergies. We must remember that our nursing students will in fact one day be interacting with real-life patients. Therefore, classroom content needs to be tied seamlessly to clinical content and the focus has to shift from technical skills to sound clinical judgment — and in the words of former professor emerita Patricia Benner (Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences at the University of California, San Francisco), "shift to thinking in action" and then finally to application. Interestingly, nursing graduates also crave better academic/clinical synergies. Across the board, nurses who graduated from undergrad programs not only requested more clinical time for students but also suggested that clinical assignments be more realistic. For example having students watch over six to seven patients at a time rather than one or two.
Establish partnerships. Nursing schools and health care organizations should consider collaborative partnerships to create dedicated education units that can provide a more realistic immersion into the clinical environment. This could involve hybrid partnerships, where the clinical faculty members are actually the clinical nurses working at the bedside. It could also include specialty-specific fellowships where students are enculturated in the clinical setting.
The decline in nursing skills didn't happen overnight, and it will take some time to fix. A collaborative effort focusing on a combination of academic instruction and real-life applications – and a focus on both the technical as well as "soft" skills – will be crucial to getting our nurses back on track and ready to properly serve the patients and families that so trust and respect them.

Some days it seems that life is running smoothly: the kids are playing well together, everyone is rested, the chores seem to get done effortlessly, and our cares seem far away. There is a flow to our routine and everything is jiving very nicely. It's in those moments, when I catch myself smiling, that the negative thoughts enter my mind:
Instead of enjoying and reveling in those precious moments, though, I ruin them by forecasting the impending doom that will inevitably arrive very soon because we all know that " nothing good lasts," right?
It's all about attitude. How I respond to the ups and downs of day-to-day life affects everything.
The way I handle myself when the three-year-old refuses to nap or the baby wakes up before sunrise affects the way the children treat each other.
The way I approach my household duties–with a smile on my face and a song on my lips or a scowl and lots of grumbling–affects how much work actually gets done and ultimately how I feel about it.
The way I talk to my husband and girls–whether in a sweet and encouraging voice or an irritated and gloomy tone–affects how my family responds to me and even to each other.
My attitude has considerable power over how our days go. Maybe it isn't just that life is running smoothly because the wheel of Fortune has chosen to favor me. Instead, maybe my attitude has something to do with my family's happiness and camaraderie.
Maybe if I smiled instead of grumbled when the work piles up and I feel buried alive, then I would accomplish everything of true importance and feel good about my efforts.
Maybe if I spoke in a loving, gentle tone to my potty-trained child who has her third "accident" of the week, then the accidents would stop occurring.
Maybe if I stopped complaining about my children and sat down and played with them, then they might start showing more love to each other.
Maybe if I changed my outlook on life, then each day would look more like a treasure, a gift, a reward, instead of a burden, a challenge, and a trial.
Do you ever need an attitude adjustment? If so, what do you do about it?
Blessings to you as you continue to grow in God's Glory!

LONDON (Sep. 17)
With the second 18-nation conference on the Suez crisis scheduled to open here Wednesday, the entire British press, from the right to the left, came out today with articles strongly espousing Israel's rights of passage through the Suez Canal and calling for measures designed to secure these rights.
The strongest position is taken by the right-wing Daily Sketch, which offers Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden his "way out" of the Suez difficulty by supporting Israel before the bar of world public opinion, and with arms. The newspaper calls Israel the "neglected key to the whole Middle East," and notes that neither Britain nor anybody else "lifted a finger to help Israel."
The Liberal News Chronicle writes: "We can have no confidence in the word of Nasser until he has given proof that his promise to let ships pass freely through the canal is genuine. The value of this promise can be judged by the fact that, in defiance of the Security Council and Egypt's own undertaking, Israeli ships are barred from the waterway. On this point there can be no compromise. Either Nasser means what he says when he swears the canal will be open to the ships of all nations, or he is utterly cynical and still intends to defy the United Nations."
The Labor Party's Daily Herald, urging Britain to take the Suez Canal dispute to the UN, insists that guarantees of the right of world shipping to use the canal "means also the rights of ships bound' to and from Israel, which have been prevented from using the canal by Nasser, in defiance of the United Nations." Declaring that governments including the British, have been "shutting their eyes" to this breach of a UN resolution, the Herald says that a UN settlement would mean nothing at all, unless it meant freedom for all ships without exception."

F-Zero X
Review by Nukem
"One word for this game... fun."
F-Zero is one of those SNES classics that everybody has play, even if you didn't have a SNES. The game was a high speed race (400+Mph) through tracks with all sorts of hazards. Now it has made it to the Nintendo 64 but everything is better. The speed is insane, it goes about 1100Km/H on average. My record max speed is 2003Km/H on rainbow road. The graphics are sort of bland but the game moves at 60FPS so who cares! The control is also greatly improved! There are many cars to choose from and many options of play. Huge selection of tracks, grand prixs. There is even a death race where you must be the last one alive on the track. And finally there is up to 4 people battling head to head. Oh and how could I forget! Time Attack too!
Graphics: 7.5
The graphics are the definition of bland. The cars have a low polygon count too. There is also noticable fade-in (draw-in). The grade would be a lot lower if the game did run at an amazing 60FPS. Everything is also pretty clear (when there is something!).
Sound: 9
The sounds are great! The sounds you make when you explode is just cool. Your hover craft engine makes a high pitch wistle, but it sounds really good in the game. When you hit the walls you make a grinding noise too. The music fits the game well, high tempo songs (and a good variety too!). The anouncer is a little hard to understand and is sometimes inacurate.
Gameplay: 10
There are 5 modes of play (GP, Time Attack, Death Race, Vs., and Practice). The game supports up to 4 players going head to head and has no slow down the I could see! There is also a boost thing you get after you finished the first lap, It gives you a speed boost but drains your health. The game has up to 30 people on the screen at the same time with no slow down! That has to be a record for the N64!
Replay: 10 (duh!)
With 5 modes of play and 4 difficulties, tracks to unlock, multiplayer. This game is just awesome! My friend and I (proper english!) played this game literally for 4 days straight! Only stopping to eat and sleep! This is the coolest game of all time! Ok maybe it's not but it sure is awesome!!!

Kirsten Dunst Gets The Bad Guy
James Jimenez has been a bad bad boy. The 36-year-old mechanic will spend four years in jail for stealing Kirsten Dunst's $2,000 Balanciaga purse.So if you ever wondered what a Balenciaga purse was worth in human years, the jury says four.
Jimenez, stole the purse from Dunst in 2007, when she stayed at NYC's Soho Grand Hotel during the filming of How to Lose Friends and Alienate People.
Dunst, sporting a dress spotted with naked ladies in Soho in June, has been accused of soliciting marijuana from Jimenez and his partner, which would have given Jimenez the opportunity to rob her. Jimenez lawyer plans to pursue this story, because as he says, "I don't think there's a person on this planet who would believe…she doesn't smoke marijuana."

Over 80, it's gotta be mesh for me.
Over 80, it's gotta be mesh for me.
Salty Fog Rally 2007, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2014 And DRAT! Missed the last one in 2015!
-Tom (KA1TOX)
Mesh around town, but not on a road trip, for reasons already stated. The feeling of comfort can be deceptive while the hot wind sucks the moisture out of you. One 106F. day in eastern Colorado I drained a 3-liter backpack bladder twice in 200 miles, and was still dehydrated. Better to cover up, open the vents and soak your t-shirt.
this is a timely question as it's going to be 95 today and 98 tomorrow...
when i ride in the heat i wear:
upper: coolmax tshirt, first gear Kilimanjaro II jacket, all vents open.
lower: cycling shorts and olympia mesh riding pants
hands: first gear mesh gloves
feet: wicking socks and oxtar boots.
head: flip face helmet - a freakin life saver in any situation where i slow/stop moving - i open it up and it feels soooooo good. (note: wear sunscreen or you will fry your nose!)
i ride an r1150ra, so i get lots of airflow.
the key to riding in heat is to also remember to drink a lot of fluids! the temptation is to not do this to avoid having to stop and pee all the time. don't fall for it - you'll dehydrate quickly and fatigue. then you'll start making bad decisions.
when i ride in heat i really like my tiny, short range fuel tank. it forces me to stop often and each time i do, i drink some water. this is my first summer with a flip face helmet too, so i am looking forward to being able to (easily) drink while riding.
It hit 113 in Yuma yesterday. Heidi and I returned from Rawhyde Adventures in 100+ heat all day.
First Gear Ranier Jacket, Darian Pants, Sidi boots, T-shirt, mesh shorts, Camelback with ICE and WATER. We made one fuel stop, for Heidi's 650. I think my GSA would have made it without a fuel stop, but I would not have done as well. Nice to stop and fill the camel back with more ice.
Just a warm up ride for the comming summer. For the past 5 years, I have worn a Darian jacket. The First Gear jacket was new in Oct. We also have a couple of cool vests that come in handy. Didn't take them for the weekend. Should have. Will not make that mistake again this summer. Can always pack it if not required.
I wear a BMW Air Flow Helmet (bought in the UK, not sold in US) which allows more than enough air over the head, it is an open face but beats anything I have seen in the US. It gets hot and humid here in Friendswood, Tx., I also wear a Vanson mess jacket (black) Hot when I stop but allows enough air to keep me cool yet protected if I drop the bike (which I pray does not happen).
Can someone tell me how to post a new question (first time user)
I'm very comfortable in my RevIt Air jacket and RevIt Mistral pants.
I find that in humid heat, mesh is a must even for long rides. Two days ago I rode home from eastern Oklahoma to the Dallas area. 4.5 Hours on the road, mostly in 90-96F. I was miserable in my new Olympia Recon jacket (even with all the vents open and the cuffs loose instead of inside the gauntlets) and Maverick pants. Mesh is warm too, but moisture doesn't build up underneath and what little evaporation is possible in humid climes (slim to none in my experience) has a chance to work.
I wear a mesh suit (Cortech jacket/Marsee pants) in summer but what goes with it has undergone some tweaking over the years. Sometimes I'll wear synthetic shorts/T underneath, but on the trip to West Bend I found that a long-sleeve wicking shirt was an improvement, and one reason was that the silky-textured nylon fabric that lines the sleeves of the jacket no longer stuck to my sweaty skin. Also, the shirt improved the evaporation over what I had experienced with the synthetic T before. The downside was that things got considerably warmer during stops, but I lived with it- after all, either way I was in for sweaty days.
I did not replace the shorts with long wicking underwear though because the airflow around my legs was significantly less than around my upper half, even though I rode an unfaired bike. I tried long stuff on both halves in test-rides early in the summer to figure this out.
Mesh gloves have been a great improvement too, especially if they are NOT black.
Good moisture-wicking socks have made my Prexport boots bearable in summer. I typically wear some summer-hiking Ultimax socks I got from REI.
"If you can't fix it with a hammer, it's electrical." -somebody's dad
I rode 10,000+ miles last summer 2-up and went through all kinds of weather. My wife and I wore Olympias Hi-Viz armored summer Jackets, that had all kinds of vents: chest, arms, back. The inner liner was removed. When it rained in cooler climates then the liner was added. Should it rain in hotter climates then the jacket was used as is: getting wet....eventually riding out of the rain will quickly dry the suit. We do carry cool-max vests but haven't found the need to use it yet. While on the "move" hot weather doesn't seem to bother us too much. The winds while riding pretty much remove standing heat, although we do stop and replendish ourselves with liquids as others said rapid dehydration occurs while riding. We do not ride in "open" mesh even though it is armored. Too much sun exposure and moisture loss. Rode through 110 heat desert on the way to Big Bend Natn'l Park. It was hot and dry but bearable.
Our slacks were armoured BMW summer pants. I also ride in a BMW Rallye Pro2 Jacket when I ride to both extremes; North and South. I find the all around seasonal Jacket excellent in multiseason purpose, but the liner, although water resistant is very poor in insulating the cold. I double up using the Olympia liner or Gerbings heated full neck liner jacket. Ventilation flow through is excellent with the Rallye Pro2. YOU must open the rear, which most people forget...in order to have a great flow through. In regard to head gear: All full face helmets were designed pretty much for NO windshield or minimal windshield thus the vents on the helmets. With a motorcycle windshield almost all full face helmets are useless for ventilation due to blockage of the wind in your face by the windshield. Any BMW motorcycle that has the electronic adjustable windshield is a GREAT way to have more wind blast to your helmet and cool your hot head! We rode in a R1200 RT.....
Good luck and improvise...stop and replendish...cool off in the shade....leave at cooler hours....ride in the rain....
One word sums it up....CommandoSome of you will no doubt think this is a stupid question but ... What do you wear under mesh pants????
Actually, after sweating my way home through Iowa and NE last year I'm looking for a better solution and am looking seriously at the Olympia Recon 2 mesh pants.

Over in ADVrider some have mentioned LD Comfort underwear. Does anyone know where to obtain these? For me comfort has a lot to do with managing the jewels properly... even to the extent of paying attention to location of seams in underwear.
The shorts you may have heard about are the LD Comfort shorts.
I know Grass Roots BMW distributes them, as well as several other dealers.
Good luck with that!

Not tracking your cost basis could be costly
September 17, 2013
I recently met with Julie, a client of mine, who had just sold her home and downsized into a smaller one. As a result, she had more than $150,000 to invest and wanted some advice on what to invest it in. In situations like these, I have found it helpful to ask some key question to help me design an appropriate recommendation.
One of the first questions I asked Julie was: "How much money will you need for taxes?" Many times clients will have already discussed this with their tax advisor, but in this case, Julie had not. So I asked her how much she had sold her house for, and she said $350,000. I then asked the key question: "How much was your cost basis in the home?"
Her response: "I have no idea."
I then asked: "How much did you pay for the house?" She went on to explain that her and her then husband purchased the property more than 40 years ago and built a house later that year, but she could not remember for how much. I explained that she would have to report the sale on her income taxes for 2013 and that she would have to pay capital gains taxes on any gain (selling price minus cost basis) above $250,000 (the exemption for a single person).
She did not know what to do, so I called a CPA to get his opinion on the matter. He let us know that if you took the value from the current property tax statement (which Julie had), and discounted that value 2 percent per year, you would come up with a starting basis for the property that would be acceptable to the IRS. He also reminded me to add the cost of any improvements over the years, and I should come up with a "reasonable" cost basis to report.
I did the calculation as he suggested, and we came up with a starting cost basis of $40,000. Had we stopped there, she would have had a gain of $310,000 and a net taxable gain of $60,000 ($310,000 minus $250,000). In her tax bracket, she could have owed $10,000 in taxes or more.
Recommended Stories For You
I then asked Julie about the improvements (upgrades, landscaping, additions, etc.) over the years. She let me know that a few years after building the house, they added a very large deck, which cost about $25,000 at the time. Then she remembered adding a bathroom and redoing the kitchen.
By the time we were done, we had come up with more than $140,000 worth of improvements in her 42 years of living in the home. This brought the cost basis up from $40,000 to $180,000, and now her gross gain was $350,000 minus $180,000, or $170,000, which is less than the $250,000 exemption, and therefore, no tax is due.
She was quite relieved and really appreciated me taking the time to help her work through the process.
