Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Hi, what's your question?
I'm a PA resident.
Be glad to do some research for you ... I have acces to the entire PV code, as well as PA court secisions
I will need to withdraw $50,000 out of a 401K. I understand my federal tax and penalty just not sure what I will owe the state.
OK, that depends on your tax bracket ... the income will simply be added to your income for PA state tax purposes
In PA you have a flat 3% tax... ust ooked that up ... so..
You'd be looking at 1500 in PA tax on that portion of your income for the year you pull it
Here's an excellent site that lets you estimate your PA tax: http://www.tax-rates.org/pennsylvania/income-tax
I thought I was only sheltered federally and I already paid state tax on my 401K?
I'm not sure I completely understand ... If you had state taxes WITHHELD when it was distributed, then yes, you've effectively already paid that .. (what you had withheld will offset the tax, when you do your PA state taxes next year for this year)
ON the federal side, it really works the same way, except that there's the 10% penalty on top of having that extra income added to your income for the year, for tax purposes.
The reason it works that way is the money went into the plan "pre-tax," so that income was never taxed ... so when you pull it out they tax it as ordinary income ... and on the federal side they add a 10% to it as well, becuase they don't want you pulling it out before age 59 and 1/2
I guess my confusion is....I didn't think the state was pre-taxed.
It isn't really pre-taxed ... most plans will allow (and some mandate) that you have state taxes WITHHELD (just like a W-2) from the distribution, then they'll give you something (a 1099 showing that money was withheld) in January of next year to use with your taxes - just like a W-2 _ to show that the money was withheld
Thank you, I'll check out the web site as well.
You can ask your plan administratory whether they require that withholding ... many times there'll be a form that asks YOU how much you want withheld (as part of the distribution request form)
Tha'ts usually a section of the form you'll ave to fill out
f this HAS helped, I would appreciate a feedback rating of 3 (OK) or better … That's the only way they will pay us here.
HOWEVER, if you need more on this, PLEASE COME BACK here, so you won't be charged for another question.
Other questions?
I still don't see you coming back into the chat - I wanted to be sure you didn't have any other questions ... I'll move us to the Questions & Answer mode ... Maybe that will help ... ( We can still continue a dialogue there, just not in real-time as we can here)
Let me know if you need anything else
Hello I am a different tax expert ,
Unlike the federal income tax law, contributions to a 401(K) or contributions to other types of retirement plans are considered part of the employee's taxable compensation and are subject to withholding requirements. The contributions are treated the same, whether made inside or outside a cafeteria plan. However, when you retire and start receiving distributions, the amount you withdraw from your 401(K) plan is not subject to PA personal income tax because you already paid tax in PA when the money was contributed. You touched on this yourself when you asked about pretax.Early withdrawals are taxed based on the cost recovery method. The cost recovery method is a way to determine how much of a distribution from a retirement plan or annuity is taxable. Under the cost recovery method, an individual "recovers" all of his or her contributions to a retirement plan, before reporting any PA taxable income.If you recover all your contributions, and still have not reached the age of 59 1/2 then any subsequent withdrawals are taxable until you reach the age of 59 1/2.

Steelers head coach calls for more safety measures in South Side after Steeler stabbed
PITTSBURGH - Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin had some bold remarks Monday about the safety of Pittsburgh's South Side after Steelers offensive tackle Mike Adams who was stabbed on Saturday in the 1700 block of East Carson Street.
"It goes beyond the team. I just think as members of this community, we need to recognize some things going on on the South Side that make it a dangerous place, particularly after hours," said Tomlin. "Hopefully, as a community, we'll take the steps necessary to assure this doesn't happen to anyone whether it's a Pittsburgh Steeler or not."
Tomlin was not alone in his displeasure over the violence on South Side. President of the South Side Bar and Restaurant Association, Mike Papariella, said city officials promised additional patrols.
"You're not satisfied with the police patrols right now? I'm satisfied with what the
Pittsburgh people want to offer, but it seems like people above, coming from the mayor's office, maybe Director Huss, have put certain limitations on what city police do," said Papariella.
Papariella called the Adams stabbing that required surgery a rare occurrence.
Channel 11's Alan Jennings discovered that other Steelers have also been attacked on the South Side.
Former Steeler Mike Wallace said he told police he was robbed at gunpoint when a hooded criminal in a grey Chevy Cavalier pulled up alongside him as he walked on South 18th Street and jumped out of the car with a silver handgun.
Wallace, who was walking with defensive back Keenan Lewis, lost two cellphones, while Lewis had his wallet stolen that contained $450 and all his credit cards.
Those who live in South Side, like Curt Cignetti, call it part of the culture.
"In the past couple years, it's really grown economically. You're going to see more criminals come down here to take advantage of local residents who have more disposable income with fatter wallets," said Cignetti.
As for Adams, who was expected to start this season, Tomlin is focused on getting him ready for training camp.
"Obviously, the next step for him is just getting out of the hospital. We expect that to come within the next 24 hours, and he will proceed from there," said Tomlin.

In case you hadn't heard, Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew is in the midst of a holdout and doesn't look to be returning anytime soon. This leaves the Jags short on the depth chart and it has been speculated that the team may be intrested in free agent back Ryan Grant. The Green Bay Packers let him go back in May and he's been looking for a job since. After tweeting a photo of a jaguar, the rumor was that the Jaguars were interested in him. That is not the case.
Fantasy Analysis:
Grant was never that great and by this time, if a team really needed or wanted him, he'd have been signed by now. The Jaguars already have Rashad Jennings ready to start in place of MJD. Behind Jennings, they have a small group of no-name players, no offense to them. Apparently the coaching staff feels they can rely on those players without adding Grant into the mix.

Great packaging sets your packaging apart from your competitors. We need to provide reasons why a purchaser would choose your product over another. Because over 70% of buying decisions are made in store we will work with you to ensure that your packaging design sells itself to the consumer when they are debating which product to select. That decision is typically made in under 3 seconds so the packaging design must communicate convincing reasons why that particular product should be chosen over another.
Packaging Design Logistics
We can liaise with your suppliers directly providing packaging design artwork in a format that they specify. Alternatively we are happy to recommend formats, styles and materials that we will then source and supply to you complete.

Comments about Spirit Voodoo Queen Adult Womens Costume:
Used for Halloween costume. Standard size was too big, was able to use the ties in the back to make it fit. Was happy with design, price for the quality not good. Overall I was happy to be able to find this costume on line and it worked out really well.

Comments about Spirit Voodoo Queen Adult Womens Costume:
I got this costume for a work function. I thought it looked long enough in the photo, but when I put it on if I bent over the sun would shine :) I added black shorts and net hose which made it look great. It was very comfy and other than the skirt being too short it fit kind of funny in the front; it bunched a little weird but I was the only one who noticed.

Some offices had been cleared of furniture and records.
In suites on the 10th floor, which accommodated the top generals, marine snipers are sleeping on lounge suites and cushions yesterday.
"I don't really care about the comfort factor. I just want to go home, " said Staff Sergeant Aaron Hallenbeck.
The US helicopters were swooping over the city as US forces operating in small patrols pushed into areas where they had not been before.
In residential areas, Iraqis stood at their front gates waving at the US troops.
The Interior Ministry, the headquarters of Iraq's military command that appears to have collapsed days ago, is a monument to Saddam. In every room on every room on every floor, there are pictures of him, some as high as the ceiling. But marines have been pulling them down as they go from room to room, looking for booby traps.
In one office, photos of a general with his family are spread over a large mahogany table. The general's medals are still in a cupboard.
When The Age travelled through Baghdad from the south-west with a marine convoy yesterday, gunfire could be heard coming from the north western suburbs. US forces were using artillery on targets in the same direction.
The only people on the streets that The Age travelled along were looters.
Some cars had furniture strapped on the roof; others were carrying chairs, televisions, cupboards - anything they could carry.
A couple of kilometres from the city centre, US bombs have demolished an entire block.
Marines said they thought that buildings there had been a militia training centre. But most of the buildings in the city and suburbs are largely undamaged. Lieutenant Ronco says many parts of the city "still need to be cleared" by the US forces.
But peering through binoculars from the top floor of the Interior Ministry, he points to three multi-storey buildings, which he says US forces now occupy.
"The resistance has been surprisingly light - we expected them to put up a much stronger fight," he says.

Twins 7, Indians 2: Justin Morneau continued his RBI tear by driving in a pair of runs and Ryan Doumit hit his career-high 16th home run as host Minnesota posted its third straight win after losing the opener of the four-game series.
Pedro Florimon doubled, tripled, scored twice and drove in a run for the Twins, who pulled even with Cleveland for fourth place in the American League Central.
Morneau opened the scoring in the fourth inning with a sacrifice fly and added an RBI single in the sixth to give Minnesota a 3-1 lead. Morneau has recorded 14 RBIs in his last 12 games, including 11 in 10 contests this month.
Florimon led off the sixth with a triple and scored on Ben Revere's single before hitting an RBI double in the following frame. After advancing on a groundout, Florimon raced home on a wild pitch by Justin Masterson to make it 5-2.
Doumit capped the scoring in the eighth with a solo blast, eclipsing his previous season high of 15 homers set in 2008 with Pittsburgh.
Samuel Deduno (6-3) worked seven solid innings, allowing two runs and three hits with three walks and six strikeouts. Deduno is 2-0 in three starts against Cleveland this season.
Masterson (11-13) surrendered six runs and seven hits over 6 2/3 frames as he fell to 2-7 lifetime versus the Twins.Lonnie Chisenhall's solo homer was one of three hits by the Indians, who are 4-5 this month after going 5-24 in August. Chisenhall was making his first appearance since suffering a broken right forearm on June 29 against Baltimore.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Indians SS Asdrubal Cabrera was kept out of the starting lineup because of a sore right wrist. Brent Lillibridge got the call and went 1-for-3. ... Minnesota OF Chris Parmelee was a late scratch with soreness in his right groin. He suffered the injury running for a line drive in Sunday's victory. ... Twins DH Josh Willingham was back in the lineup after missing Sunday's game with a sore left hamstring. Willingham went 0-for-3 with a walk.

Sleeping is Believing
Uplift vs. Sink
How does a Pure Talalay Bliss mattress improve my sleep quality?
Sleeping on a Pure Talalay Bliss mattress is a life-changing experience. Unlike other mattresses, Pure Talalay Bliss mattresses allow your muscles to relax by providing uplifting support and a pressure-less feel. Many describe it as being the same sense of floating, being suspended. It is a difference you can feel.
Relaxing your muscles helps relieve stress, manage anxiety, ease stiffness, control blood pressure and boost immunity. Chronic muscle tension uses up energy, which can make you fatigue easier during the day and even lead to insomnia.
What are the top 5 reasons to invest in a Pure Talalay Bliss mattress?
- It offers "bottomless" pressure relief for your body. Whether you are on your back or side, you will have less pressure on more inches of Talalay Latex. Did you know when you lay on your side, your shoulders and hips have 7 times more pressure on them than when you lay on your back? Pressure relief is important to your muscles and it keeps the blood flowing to your extremities so you don't have numb fingers, hands and arms. But more importantly, your body responds to pressure by moving during the night which will likely lessen the quality of your sleep.
How is a Pure Talalay Bliss mattress better for my health?
The difference is in the chemicals. Many mattress adhesives contain a variety of toxic chemicals. Solvent-based adhesives have 48 toxic chemicals in them and only one non-toxic chemical and one natural material (water). You spend about 1/3 of your year in bed, so it's important to know what you're sleeping on.
What should I ask when shopping for a latex mattress?
The Important Questions
Shopping for Talalay Latex beds can sometimes be confusing. Not all latex mattresses are the same – in fact, some aren't even really latex! It's important to compare the various models to make sure you're getting the one you want. Here are five key questions to ask that will make shopping simple.
- Is this a Talalay Latex mattress?
- How many inches of Talalay Latex rubber is in the mattress? There are 11" mattresses with 3 inches of latex in them (and the remainder foam or other things) and there are 11" mattresses with 11" of latex in the mattress, like a Pure Talalay Bliss mattress. There is a huge difference between the two, both from a construction and a benefit standpoint.
What's inside a Pure Talalay Bliss mattress?
The top layer of a mattress is the pressure relief layer. Relieving pressure points on the body is one of the most important roles of a mattress. With proper pressure relief and support, you are less likely to toss and turn, which allows you to stay in REM and deep sleep longer.

Debate: Is New York City in a Tech Bubble?
New York City is now the number two hub for tech companies in the nation after Silicon Valley. Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and eBay have all opened offices here, and the Bloomberg administration is partnering with Cornell University to build a new computer science grad school on Roosevelt Island.
The startup scene is thriving, too. According to SeedTable, more than 40 New York startups have been acquired so far in 2012.
This week on WNYC's New Tech City, Manoush Zomorodi hosts a debate on whether the Silicon Alley tech boom is sustainable or whether New York could see a repeat performance of the dot-com bust of the late nineties.
On one side of the table is Greg David, former editor of Crain's New York Business and now director of the business and economics program at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism.
In a recent blog post for Crain's called "Time to Start Worrying about a Tech Bubble," he cites a drop in venture capital investments in New York companies in the second and third quarters as one cause for concern.
"The tech story in New York has been bullish for a couple of years now. It's time to start looking at the sector with much more skepticism," he writes.
On the other side of this debate is Laurel Touby, founder of mediabistro, which she founded in 1996 and sold for $23 million 11 years later. She invests in and advises small Internet companies.

Trayvon's Mom: Clarify Stand Your Ground Laws
WASHINGTON (AP) - Trayvon Martin's mother says states should clarify their "stand your ground" self-defense laws.
Sybrina Fulton is telling a Senate committee Tuesday that the laws, which generally eliminate a person's duty to retreat in the face of a serious physical threat, are confusing and inconsistent. She says neighborhood-watch volunteer George Zimmerman "got away with murder" in the 2012 killing of her son, largely because of Florida's policy.
Fulton says stand your ground doesn't mean chase after someone who has turned his back.
In July, a jury acquitted Zimmerman, 29, of all charges in the February 2012 shooting death of Trayvon, who was 17 and unarmed. Some gun control advocates say states should re-examine their laws. But gun rights advocates say that's a swipe at the right to self-defense.

Husky may take legal action in gas dispute with China firm
By Nia Williams
CALGARY, Alberta (Reuters) - Husky Energy Inc said on Tuesday it was confident a dispute with China's CNOOC Ltd over delivery payments for South China Sea gas will be resolved but warned it would take legal action against the state-owned energy company if necessary.
Husky operates and owns 49 percent of the offshore Liwan Gas Project, approximately 300 kilometres (190 miles) south of Hong Kong, while CNOOC holds the remaining interest and buys the gas from Husky through a take-or-pay contract. Such an agreement requires CNOOC to pay for contracted volumes whether it receives them or not.
A pipeline outage in the first quarter affected natural gas sales from Liwan, and Husky said it received payment only for actual volumes of around 150 million cubic feet per day, roughly 50 percent of contracted volumes.
At the same time, CNOOC officials said there had been price changes in the Guangdong natural gas market and asked Husky to consider a cut to the fixed price the Chinese company pays for gas.
"Our view is that there's no contractual basis to change the price unilaterally. We have a legally binding take-or-pay contract in place," Husky Chief Executive Asim Ghosh said during a call to discuss the company's first-quarter results. He added that he was confident there would be a satisfactory outcome with Husky's "long-standing" partner.
Calgary, Alberta-based Husky, in talks with CNOOC to find a solution, said it will take legal action in the absence of a satisfactory outcome.
FirstEnergy Capital analyst Mike Dunn said the fixed-price agreement had been made before Liwan went ahead and was key to Husky's final decision to invest in the project.
"The price commitment seems to me to be the more sacrosanct," Dunn said, adding that it was fixed in local currency but amounted to around $13 to $15 mcf/day. Continued...

TAMPA — Jefferson got one step closer to its preseason goal of becoming district champion with a hard-earned 6-3 victory over Robinson on Wednesday night in the 4A-9 semifinals.
Freshman Nicole Lopez pitched a complete game, racking up six strikeouts. Her teammates supplied good defense, showing the discipline coach Eve Suarez has instilled.
"Nicole (Lopez) has been a great addition for the team," Suarez said. "They loaded the bases and she got out of it. She kept her focus and it seemed like nothing for her; she never gets down on herself. …Our team chemistry is really good right now."
The Dragons were up 2-1 going into the third when junior rightfielder Nicole Comstock's two RBI single opened the game up.
Jefferson made the playoffs last year and Suarez hopes the experience will help her team in tonight's final against Strawberry Crest. The teams were tied for the top seed before Jefferson was awarded the top spot after a coin flip.
"After last year we all really want to win the district championship," Suarez said. "They got the feeling of that game last year and they know what it takes to win it now. We want it more; we were overconfident last year."
Strawberry Crest blasted Steinbrenner with an 11-run third inning in which the Chargers had seven hits. The game lasted a mere four and a half innings, ending 17-2.
"Going into that third inning we told the girls we had to bury them now," Strawberry Crest coach Mindy Miltner said. "We're ripping the ball right now and the girls came out on fire in that inning. Hopefully we keep it going. We want to be the first team from our school to win a district title."

23 Jan 2009
Stagecoach, one of the UK's biggest bus operators, today (23 January 2009) confirmed that it has completed the acquisition of Preston Bus Limited ("Preston Bus") for an undisclosed sum.
The acquisition was approved by employee shareholders of Preston Bus on 22 January and completed today.
Preston Bus, which has around 300 employees and a fleet of around 120 vehicles, operates out of a depot at Deepdale Road, Preston. It operates on 14 key routes in Preston and South Ribble and the annual turnover of the business is around £11 million.
Stagecoach already operates around 160 vehicles in the Preston, Chorley and Fylde areas.
The Preston Bus operations will become part of Stagecoach North West, headed by Managing Director Chris Bowles, which employs a total of 1,400 people and operates around 530 buses throughout Lancashire and Cumbria.
Bus passengers will benefit from plans for a more integrated network on all main corridors with the merger of the two operations, both of which have high quality low-floor bus fleets.
Plans are in place to simplify fares and ticket ranges from next month, bringing lower cost bus travel for many people. Customers will also benefit from the inter-availability of day and multi journey tickets on Stagecoach and Preston Bus services from Sunday 25 January, allowing access to the whole Preston bus network.
Stagecoach has confirmed that, while there will be some changes to management and administration roles as part of the acquisition, it has given a two-year no compulsory redundancies commitment to driving and engineering staff.
Les Warneford, Managing Director, Stagecoach UK Bus, said: "Stagecoach has a long tradition of operating high quality bus services for people in Preston and Lancashire.
"We are delighted to have acquired Preston Bus, which is a well-run business that is an excellent fit with our existing operations. We will be looking to build on the strengths and goodwill of the company to give local people access to a more integrated, sustainable, comprehensive, high-quality and affordable bus network.
"In the past two years alone, we have invested around £4 million in improving bus services in Preston by introducing new vehicles, expanded high frequency services, better value travel and improved links into our wider bus network in the North West.
"While there will inevitably be some changes for our employees and for some of our passengers, we look forward to working with staff and other local stakeholders to attract more people to the benefits of greener, smarter bus travel."
Peter Bell, Managing Director, Preston Bus Limited, said: "I am proud of the contribution Preston Bus and its employees have made in serving the local community over many years.
"The company faced an uncertain future as a result of the current economic climate and legislative changes, including the new Transport Act, the Government's plan to change the fuel tax arrangements for bus operators, and suggestions that operators should not be fully reimbursed for carrying customers with concessionary bus passes. All of these issues could have seriously undermined the business and, as a result, the Directors decided it was in the best interests of employees and the business to approach potential purchasers.
"We are pleased to have sold the business to Stagecoach, which offered the best opportunities for our staff. This is a positive move which will ensure the continued delivery of high-quality bus services to the people of Preston under new ownership."

Notes to editors
Stagecoach, which has won a clutch of awards for its innovation, high operational standards and excellent customer service, operates more than 7,000 buses in around 100 towns and cities in the UK from the Highlands and Islands of Scotland to the south-west of England. Stagecoach North West carries 42 million passengers a year on more than 170 bus routes in Lancashire, Cumbria and adjoining counties.
Preston Bus Limited
Preston Bus was formed as a company in 1986 to take over Preston Borough Council's Transport Department. The origins of the Company can be traced back to 1879 when horse trams were introduced by the Preston Tramway Company under the sanctions of Preston Corporation. In 1904 the arrangement changed when Preston Corporation introduced its own electric trams. In 1993, Preston Bus employees purchased the business from Preston Council.

Presidential Debate: No Transpo Talk, Just Gas Prices and Oil Production
Although the second question in Tuesday night's presidential debate was about gas prices, those hoping for conversation about transportation policy -- or even the word "transportation -- were disappointed.
And while President Barack Obama once spoke frequently about the need to renew the country's infrastructure, that word also wasn't uttered by either candidate.
But here's what was talked about: a transcript of the conversation shows the word "gas" 30 times.
In response to a question about how much the U.S. can control gas prices, President Obama said: "The most important thing we can do is to make sure we control our own energy. So here's what I've done since I've been president. We have increased oil production to the highest levels in 16 years. Natural gas production is the highest it's been in decades." A few moments later, he said that during his administration, "we doubled fuel efficiency standards on cars. That means that in the middle of the next decade, any car you buy, you're going to end up going twice as far on a gallon of gas."
Governor Mitt Romney disputed the president's numbers. "Oil production is down 14 percent this year on federal land, and gas production is down 9 percent," he said, adding that "I'll get America and North America energy-independent. I'll do it by more drilling, more permits and licenses. We're going to bring that pipeline in from Canada." This led to a spirited exchange about domestic oil production.
Later in the debate, the candidates sparred over the auto industry bailout, but during the debate the words "transportation," "infrastructure" and "transit" weren't mentioned once.
President Obama did use a "bus driver" as a salary example during a tax policy question; he also said he'd take the money the country has been spending on war and "rebuild America — roads, bridges, schools."
No matter what their commitment to transit, one thing is certain: one of these men will be gracing a D.C. fare card in January.

South Korean league champion Suwon Bluewings, Chinese champion Shandong Luneng and Nabisco Cup (Japan) winner Oita Trinita are at HDC for a pair of doubleheaders Wednesday and Saturday.
Suwon and Shandong open the tournament at 8:30 p.m. (ET), followed by the Galaxy and Oita at 11 p.m. The losers meet Saturday in the third-place match at 8:30 p.m. and the winners play in the championship match at 11 p.m. All games will be televised live on Fox Soccer Channel.
Donovan and Beckham may be absent, yet head coach Bruce Arena will use the PPC to get a look at some new players: midfielders Dema Kovalenko and Stefani Miglioranzi and forward Mike Magee have been acquired in offseason trades; SuperDraft picks Omar Gonzalez and A.J. Delagarza are vying for time in the back with Venezuelan trialist Leo Bautista; and Jamaican goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts is also proving himself to new teammates.
Suwon is coached by former South Korean international Bum-Kun Cha, who still holds the national team record of 55 goals and played 308 Bundesliga matches for Darmstadt 98, Eintracht Frankfurt, and Bayer Leverkusen from 1978 to 1989. Goalie Woon-Jae Lee started for his country in the last two World Cups, and the club recently added Chinese defender Weifeng Li to its roster.
Shandong has been training and taking its lumps in Southern California the past week. It lost 2-0 to MLS expansion team Seattle, 5-1 to Chivas USA and then suffered an 8-0 defeat by Real Salt Lake in scrimmages. The Chinese Super League champion in two of the last three seasons includes Venezuelan defender Alejandro Cichero, whose brother Gabriel played for MLS Cup finalist New York last year.
Oita features two young Japanese internationals: Akihiro Ienaga (22) is on loan from defending PPC champion Gamba Osaka, and Masato Morishige (21) represented Japan at the 2008 Olympic Games soccer competition.
Gamba Osaka won last year's PPC in Hawaii. The Galaxy -- with Beckham but without an ailing Donovan -- lost its opener to Gamba Osaka, 1-0, and went on to finish third by beating Sydney FC of the Australian A-League, 2-1.
There is no Australian team in this year's PPC. The competition conflicts with the A-League's playoffs being played this week.

Hello all!
Ok, here's the deal, I'm making a female mandalorian... Here's the concept art (please ignore the uneven coloring & horrible porportions - I was to excited to take my time. lol):
I want to add more detail as I go, weaponry and other things that would make it more detailed and realistic. But, currently I'm stuck on the chest pieces... I LOVE this armor:
And I LOVE the Mando wedding armor - that was the picture that convinced me that I should do this. :love BUT, I don't know how to get that lovely curve... I'm using sintra (I hope... lol it's a for sale sign from home depot), and while I can get it to curve somewhat, it doesn't want to curve that much. I'm experimenting with making "darts" (my costuming experience is heavily sewing based) and then going over that with bondo for stability, but I'm not convinced that will work. There seems to be way too much tension.
Vac forming/paying someone for it is completely out of the question - flying to dragon con is already going to kill my student budget - any other ideas? If all else fails, I'm going to give paper mache a go, but I'd rather use sintra. It seems sturdier and gives a smoother finish.
Any thoughts would be most welcome! Thanks! :)
P.S. I just have to explain the mid section, because I love it so much... lol It's overlapping leather petal/leaf shapes sewn together into a wide belt/corset type piece. Inspired by the Elven armor in LOTR. Yeah, ok, so probably no one cares, and it really has nothing to do with my question, but yeah. There you go. :p

Inventing the future
- Article by: Mike Ashley
- Theme: Visions of the future
- Published: 15 May 2014
The Modern PrometheusIn January 1802, the chemist Humphry Davy, still only 23 years old, began a series of lectures that inspired a generation to marvel at the potential of science. He argued that science will enable man to shape his future. 'It has bestowed upon him powers which may almost be called creative,' he said, 'which have enabled him to modify and change the beings surrounding him and by his experiments to interrogate nature with power, not simply as a scholar...but rather as a master.'
Amongst those inspired by this and later lectures were the poets Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Percy Bysshe Shelley and the philosopher William Godwin. In 1812 Godwin took his 14-year old daughter, Mary, to hear Davy lecture at the Royal Institution. So when the young Mary Godwin eloped with Percy Shelley to Switzerland in 1814, here were two kindred spirits fascinated with the prospect of science. Their discussions on the subject, along with Lord Byron and his physician John Polidori, led to each challenging the other to write a ghost story. Out of this grew Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus, published in 1818 and regarded as the first genuine work of science fiction.
The character of Victor Frankenstein drew upon several of the great philosophers and scientists of the day but there's no doubt that Humphrey Davy is part of that essence. Mary and Percy also knew of the experiments conducted by Giovanni Aldini to try and reanimate a corpse by applying electricity to nerves and muscles. Mary wondered what would happen if electricity brought a dead creature back to life. Would it have a soul? A memory? Imagination, instinct? In short, would it be human?

The March of IntellectWriting to The Times in May 1824, the industrialist and philanthropist Robert Owen remarked that in recent years 'the human mind has made the most rapid and extensive strides in the knowledge of human nature, and in general knowledge'. He called this 'the march of intellect' and believed it had reached a pace that could not be stopped. Building upon this, Henry Brougham established the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge in 1826, with the purpose of enabling the education of the masses. The phrase 'the March of Intellect' became a rallying cry for social and technological progress, its importance being to give all classes the opportunity to better themselves. To others, though, it was seen as giving hope where in fact there was no opportunity and of raising people above their station. Would the March of Intellect benefit society or stagnate it?
Amongst those uncertain of its benefits was cartoonist William Heath who, in 1828, under the pen name Paul Pry, produced a series of posters called the March of Intellect. Even though Heath was satirising the movement, his posters include some wonderful future ideas for transport, including a steam horse and a steam coach, a vacuum tube, a bridge to Cape Town, and various forms of flight, including a flying postman.
March of Intellect
The thirst for knowledge and scientific research in the wake of the Industrial Revolution brought concerns over where all this change would lead. William Heath's March of Intellect (c.1828), satirised the inventions, architecture and modes of transport of the future.View images from this item (1)

The March of ProgressThe future poet laureate, Alfred Lord Tennyson was a supporter of the March of Intellect, or March of Mind as he preferred. In his poem 'Locksley Hall' (written 1835) he has a soldier reflect upon his childhood home and recall childhood as some kind of idyll, but knowing that the times are changing, he imagines a future where the heavens are filled with commerce and there is a Federation of the World.
The March of the Imagination, though, was happening in France rather than Great Britain, and particularly in the minds of two visionaries, Jules Verne and Albert Robida. Although many believe that Verne foresaw the submarine and helicopter, he did neither. He was good at extrapolating from existing inventions and showing their potential as he did with the submarine in Vingt mille lieues sous les mers (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, 1870) and the propeller-driven airship in Robur le conquérant (Robur the Conqueror, 1886). His prediction on reaching the Moon was way out when he has his adventurers fired in a capsule from a massive gun in De la terre à la lune (From the Earth to the Moon, 1865), but when they return in Autour de la lune (Round the Moon, 1869) his method of recovering the capsule was almost identical to that of the Apollo capsule in 1970. Verne also built upon the writings of the American dime novelists, notably the Frank Reade series which had started with The Steam Man of the Plains (1876). The original author, Harry Enton, and his successors, notably Luis Senarens (all writing pseudonymously as 'Noname') had Frank Reade and his son invent a huge number of steam-powered (and later electric) machines. Verne bettered them with a steam elephant in La maison a vapeur (The Steam House, 1880). Little wonder that Verne is seen as the godfather of 'steampunk'.

Natural selectionCharles Darwin's On the Origin of Species (1859) triggered a variety of debates, not just about whether mankind was 'descended from the apes', but about the process of natural selection and what that meant for the future of humanity. Darwin's second cousin Francis Galton looked at how targeted selection might improve the human race, so that desirable traits are encouraged and less desirable ones removed. He called this eugenics in 1883. It rapidly entered fiction. In 'A Child of the Phalanstery' (1884) Grant Allen has a future society where deformed children are killed at birth. In his essay A Visit to Topos (1897), Australian poet William Little envisaged a so-called utopia where only the fit and healthy are allowed children, while alcoholics and the diseased are denied the right to marry. American educator Edward Payson Jackson, writing anonymously, took eugenics to its logical extreme and showed the creation of a superman via hereditary selection in A Demigod (1886).
In Erewhon (1872), Samuel Butler proposed the remarkably modern idea that machines might evolve faster than humans and would become dominant, a concept that has resurfaced in recent years in terms of the technological singularity.
H G Wells considered natural selection in terms of social Darwinism in The Time Machine (1895) and forecast human evolution taking two distinct routes. The division is generated by the oppressed workers who are driven underground but over 800,000 years evolve into the dominant Morlocks, while the capitalists become the effete but helpless Eloi.
The Edison effectThe Victorian age is renowned for the wealth of inventions that helped create the modern era such as the telephone, the typewriter, the bicycle, the electric light, the motor-car, moving pictures, the gramophone and the wireless. The inventor who most captured the public imagination was the American Thomas Edison, who became known as the 'Wizard of Menlo Park', after his factory in New Jersey. He registered over a thousand patents after his first in 1869 and became the image of the ingenious solo inventor who was single-handedly changing the world.
This in turn inspired many writers. Magazines became filled with examples of lone, often eccentric inventors coming up with new, often useless, ideas. For instance amongst the inventions in Van Wagener's Ways (1898) by W L Alden is a way to make cats fly so they can catch birds more easily, or the perfect balloon which however doesn't descend. One of the more ingenious inventions was tantamount to the first cyborg in 'The Ablest Man in the World' (1879) by Edward Page Mitchell (1852-1927) where an inventor adapts the famous analytical engine invented by Charles Babbage to fit inside a man's head and creates a genius. In 1890 the first convicted murderer was executed by the electric chair. In 'The Los Amigos Fiasco' (1892) Arthur Conan Doyle improved the electric chair rather too much so that the victim is supercharged with electricity and seems to have become immortal.
H G Wells created a number of lone inventors: Griffin who masters invisibility in The Invisible Man (1897), Cavor who discovers an antigravity material in First Men in the Moon (1901), the unnamed inventor in The Time Machine (1895) and most sinister of all Dr Moreau who is experimenting with turning animals into humans in The Island of Doctor Moreau (1896).

Why is Norway not a hockey power?

It seems to me the biggest problem for Norway in hockey is their smaller population combined with the popularity of other sports. A lot of top athletes choose skiing/football/whatever other than hockey, so a very limited population is restricted even more by not being the top dog in the country.
However Norway has produced and is producing some good players. Espen Knudsen was a very good NHLer for a few seasons. It's a slow process, but their captain carrying the flag was a good bit of exposure for them. Unfortunately turning a hockey country from Top 15 to top 7-10 takes a long time for some places, if ever.
It really depends on whether or not Norway wants to be a good hockey country, because they need more rinks, and need a better national league. Switzerland has really started to develop as a hockey playing nation thanks to the NLA becoming a heck of a lot stronger, and it may be only a matter of time before their first NHL regular forward happens in Nino Neidereiter.

There's no doubt that bathroom lighting one of the most cost effective ways in which you can enhance the look of your bathroom. However, until people really experience good quality bathroom lighting they don't usually realise what an impact it can have. Thanks to our extensive selection of ceiling lights for the bathroom, now everyone can experience the effect that top quality lighting can have on the bathroom. As well as improving the overall appearance of your bathroom, our range of lights has functionality that goes above and beyond inferior lighting. High quality glass construction coupled with energy saving technology and dimmable options ensures the lights you choose will meet the very highest standards.
From £3.32
with 10 choices
From £35.99
with 2 choices
Over the years technology has continued to advance and innovate. The bathroom is one of the prime places for all of this advancement to happen and the lighting hasn't been left out. Whilst still a basic necessity, there is now considerably more functionality and usability included in the design and manufacturing process. Many of the ceiling lights available from Plumbworld incorporate dimming features which allow you to tweak the lighting to get the atmosphere you want. Whether that's for a relaxing soak in the tub or full brightness for a shave, you can have either with the twist of a switch. Couple these innovative features with the latest energy saving technology and you have top quality lighting which doesn't cost the Earth to run or install!
Some people think the only way to enhance the appearance of a bathroom is by refurbishing it entirely. Now whilst this is needed on occasion, there are a lot of bathrooms that can be enhanced simply by adding quality lighting, which is a fraction of the cost. When you think your bathroom is missing that final touch, there's a good chance that some effective lighting would remedy the problem. Overhead bathroom lighting can change the mood and atmosphere of the room almost immediately; making it extremely useful for those relaxing baths or invigorating showers. Positioning is everything and cleverly installed lights which make the most of the room will certainly benefit you for years to come.
Installation of electrical fittings in the bathroom can require a bit of research as you have to be aware of zones and IP ratings. Since electricity and moisture doesn't mix very well you have to make sure that fittings are installed in the correct places and rated accordingly. Thankfully, there are ratings and zones which help you work out what fittings are suitable for the bathroom and where you're able to install them. Zones range from 0 to 3 and each zone requires a minimum IP rating in order to meet installation criteria. This ensures that building regulations are abided by and that the homeowner is as safe as possible.
Zone 0: This covers the area inside the bath or shower. Fittings are required to have a minimum rating of IP67 - this provides total protection for water submersion. Fittings must also be SELV with a maximum voltage of 12Volts.
Zone 1: Areas directly above the shower or bath up to a maximum height of 225cm fall into this zone. IP rating has to be a minimum of IP44 and if water jets are going to be used for cleaning, IPX5 is required.
Zone 2: A 60cm strip above zone 1 and parallel to the bath or shower defines this zone. Similar to zone 1, it requires an IP44 rating or IPX5 if water jets are used for cleaning the area. It should also be noted that a 60cm radius around washbasin taps is also considered zone 2 to be on the side of caution.
Zone 3: This is the zone that is outside of all the other zones; consider this a 'safe area'. Technically no specific IP rating is required for installation in this zone, but it's recommended that bathroom fitters abide by the general rules outlined in BS7671.
For a graphical overview of all the zones in the bathroom and their positions; just click here. If you are unsure about anything, consult an electrician or a professional in the bathroom industry who will be able to advise further.

- lightweight, loosely-coupled programmable systems - think syndication not coordination.
- remixability
- it's all about community
On the first idea, the focus is on syndicating outwards your data, and not trying to control what happens on the other end of the connection. This is a crucial idea that many companies are not quite prepared to handle. Legal and marketing groups in many companies have so long focused on exactly how some offering is presented that they may balk at the thought that in Web 2.0, they need to loosen their grip. There's always the worry of "what happens when someone does X or Y with it?" It's not quite so terrible.
This is actually quite related to SOA terms. Essentially, what you establish is a service-level agreement and a level of trust in your users and customers. The SLA defines your service endpoint, how it can be used, and how it will perform. You then trust the consumer of that service to make use of it according to the defined policies.
Once you use the word "policy" (however loosely), it seems to put the hawks more at ease. Obviously even "policy" is a vague and relative term. Watching Pirates of the Carribean (again) last night, they should think of it more as guildelines than as The (Pirate) Code. :)
Coincidentally, that is just where the fear stems from: that it would lead to "piracy", "stealing" or misuse of a service.
To paraphrase Princess Leia Organa to the Imperial Grand Moff:
"The more you tighten your grip, the more [they] will slip through your fingers."

Awesome machine Review by Guest
I just got my Roma Express Pasta Machine. The pasta machine is great. The only reason I don't give it five stars is that the adjustable wheel pasta cutter that comes with it is cheap and useless. It broke when I was washing it to get it ready for first use. Other than that, I love it. It makes making homemade pasta easy and quick. And my wife loves my new homemade ravioli. (Posted on 9/3/10)
