Posted by jwjb
My wife and I heard about Jake and his law firm in the Fall of 2008 from the head of housekeeping at our son's elementary school and how he helped a friend of hers obtain her Permanent Residency.
I finally gave Jake a call on March 26, 2009 and Jake followed up our brief conversation with a nice email. Jake was open and helpful on the telephone and you could tell he was a nice and friendly guy too as you could hear laughter and people busily talking in the background with Jake being friendly and nice while at the same time being extremely professional and cordial too.
We were expecting nice things when we met with Jake for the first time on April 1, 2009 and we were not disappointed. Jake's down to earth and gentle spirit was extremely helpful in enabling my wife and I along with our then four year old son to all relax and be ready to answer all of his questions so that he and his team could get the process going for my wife's Adjustment of Status (AOS) Petition.
You could tell that Jake and his team are world travelers from the international decor of their conference room and the many travel pursuits of their employees as well as their happy clientele as detailed in a portfolio we looked through containing many pictures and letters sent to Jake and his team from their many smiling clients. Further, we love the way that Jake and his team treat you as a person with kind and gentle respect and mannerisms which really puts you at ease from time you first talk to them on the phone to meeting with them in their offices and all the subsequent phone calls, meetings, and emails you have which is so important in legal matters lasting many weeks and months in some cases.
Needless to say our first meeting with Jake was productive and we came away with a clear picture of what needed to be done. Our first meeting was followed up with a detailed email from Jake the next day April 2, 2009 that gave us an Adjustment of Status Introduction with lots of detailed information along with a secure link for us to click on giving us access to all the questionnaires and forms and other paperwork we needed to complete.
Going back and forth with Jake's able team we were able to complete all of our AOS paperwork on June 5, 2009 and my wife's petition was scanned and filed with the Citizenship and Immigration Service (CIS) by an associate of Jake's on June 15, 2009.
On July 28, 2009 we received an appointment notice from Jake to come in and meet with him to better help us prepare for the AOS interview which was helpful in getting us prepared in how to dress and best answer the Immigration Officer's questions which was scheduled for August 28, 2009.
Our interview with the Immigration Officer could not have gone better with the Officer saying at one point, "your paperwork is really nicely organized" which he was not surprised about after seeing that we worked with Jake who the Officer said was great too. Along these lines, it was kind of interesting to hear from the Immigration Officer at the end of our formal interview that he had seen more than enough already when I tried to pull out another photo album detailing our many pictures, postcards, emails, etc between my wife and I which was nice to feel that we were more than prepared and in fact over prepared for our interview which gave us great confidence and peace of mind too.
In fact our Immigration Officer said after our formal interview that my wife's Green Card would arrive within the next two to four weeks, but in reality took even less time with my wife receiving it on September 10, 2009.
It goes without saying that my wife and I and now nine year old son could say a lot more positive things about Jake and his team and how his team helped us out again in 2012 with my wife's successful I-751 filing, but better yet give Jake a call and find out for yourselves.
I definitely think Jake and his team deserve our 5 out of 5 stars rating we gave him and his team.
Sharon Liu, Immigration Attorney
Relationship: Worked together on matter
I endorse Jakob. He is a great guy to have on your side, and a smart attorney what works hard for his clients.

Kim Kardashian Gets Ready To Rip Taylor Swift To Shreds In This Week's 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians'
Taylor Swift better be clutching to her army of cats right about now because Kim Kardashian's claws are definitely out.
According to the promo for the upcoming episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Kimmy looks far from pleased and something tells us it's got something to do with Tay Tay's recent comments about Kanye's new tune "Famous," which includes the controversial diss:
"I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex
Why? I made that bitch famous (God damn)
I made that bitch famous."
After the hit dropped, Taylor — who — publicly caused quite the stir by saying she did not approve of being mentioned in Kanye's new track. And it appears that this appears to not be at all.
In an interview with GQ — in which Kim looked bangin' by the way — she called Swift a total liar, saying that the pop star knew all along about the line and that she even gave ol' Yeezy her solid approval.
In the revealing interview, Kim said:
"She totally approved that. She totally knew that that was coming out. She wanted to all of a sudden act like she didn't. I swear, my husband gets so much shit for things [when] he really was doing proper protocol and even called to get it approved."
In defense of her man, Kimmy also claimed that a number of people actually witnessed the phone call take place. Ouch!
I don't know about you guys, but my thinking is that someone's better get their story straight pronto because judging by the next episode of KUWTK, this brewing shit storm is totally about to explode. Judge the following for yourselves:
Yep, it seems that tough times are ahead for America's sweetheart, especially with all the beef being plummeted at her from all sides right now. In the last couple of weeks alone, she's sparked some , teased some and been receiving scathing criticism for And now this.
Never get on the wrong side of a Kardashian. Good luck, Tay, good luck.
Are you on Team Kim or Team Taylor?

In a silky fabric this seamless fabric this easy bodysuit features a V-neckline in front and back and adjustable straps. The perfect layering piece. Snap closures on the gusset.
perfect basic but high quality bodysuit
I LOVE these bodysuits. Being a semi thick black girl ( 34c, hips & booty) I'm usually weary of free people sizing so I was SURPRISED when I fit a small in this bodysuit. (I'm usually a Med or L no matter what). The quality is amazing, the material is soft. It's not sheer at all for me, a lil nipple when it's cold but hey, we all have them! Me throwing this on with a leather jacket will be happening a lot with these Cali winter nights. Bought in black then went back & got it in grey & im so happy I did!

Hi I'm currently installing
I'm currently installing OpenFOAM using the binary pack. The solver works right away. However, using paraFoam, paraview asks me for a reader for cavity.OpenFOAM and gives me a list to choose from.
Presumably, this has to do with PV3FoamReader. Indeed, when I checked my installation (from the binary pack) with the installation of a friend who compiled, we figured out that the library files
are missing in the binary pack.
Is there way to get them?
thanks, samuel
Hi, i have a similar proble
i have a similar problem, when making ./Allmake to compile PV3FoamReader, it doesn't have $FOAM_LIBBIN/libPV3FoamReader_SM.so.
Moreover i can't download OpenFOAM-1.5.linux64GccDPOpt.gtgz. I already tried with different mirors but it stops each time at 74 %. Maybe it could explain my first problem?
Could someone help me? Thank you!
Here is the error i receive:

I have read in other post a similar problem, not with -lOpenFoam but with -lhistory or things like that. The solution proposed was to installed some packages like readline, libreadline, liberty. After verification, there are present on my system.
Any suggestion?

Hi guys DREATHDOG77 here for the final fight of head to head tonight we have a good one the SCAR-H vs. Type 25 this was the most harest ones but here we go with the final fight lets begin.
Lets start this with the SCAR-H. The SCAR-H is a 20 round (30 with ext mags). fully auto assault rifle and its unlocked at lvl 8. the pros and cons of the SCAR-H. Ok i will say that for pros it had a meduim recoil but still got the job done, the iron sight helps for long ranges and it only takes three rounds to take down a person and ADS is fast two with out quickdraw. The only cons i have for this is the slow reloading time and trying to sprint with it. its a pain in the ass to run with it because it acts like a LMG. Attachents i recommend for the SCAR-H is either the Holograph or the red dot and the Fore grip helps with the recoil a little. Now were going to move on to the Type 25 assault rifle.
The Type 25 is a 30 round (40 with ext mags) bullpup assault rifle is unlocked at lvl 4. The pros and cons of the type 25. Well this one was kinda shot up but the pros are it has a meduim recoil but when you do short burts or have a select fire on it, The iron sight is good for long shots same for the SCAR-H and it takes tree shots to take down a person. The cons the only thing i got for this is reloading its slow, I mean it takes 2.9 sec to reload another round in the gun. Attachments i recommend for this gun is fore grip and fast mags. Makes reloading faster and recoil will go higher instade of meduim it will go to low. And maybe even the red dot sight.
Now its time for the Damges of the SCAR-H and the Type 25.
SCAR-H the damege is 40-30 (For Single Player is really hight 100-85)
Type 25 the damges is 33-22
Ok now its time for the final chooseing who will it be will be the SCAR-H or the Type 25? And the winner is....This was a really hard to choose but its the SCAR-H! Reason? Well because of damage and how its more higher in damage and accurcy. So now we have our four guns are going to fight to have the final spot aganst the one true gun but first we are going to do the loser guns first and one of them will come back to fight once again. Im DEATHDOG77 saying Sepmer Fi and good luck.
Edit Note: Ok there are the four winning guns M27, FAL OSW, SWAT-556 and SCAR-H they will go up aganst each other after the loser guns. Theres the loser guns MTAR, SMR, M8A1 and Type 25 they will go aganst each other tomorrow and heres how it works i use all four guns and do the pros ands cons and the damages on the guns. Which one ever wins moves on to go aganst the winning gun before the the final gun fight with the mosted used gun. So tomorrow will be the loser guns and the next day is the winning guns and finally we have the showdown with which gun made it aganst the AN-94, Yes the AN-94 is the mosted used gun i use so which ever gun makes it will go up aganst the AN-94. I DEATHDOG77 saying Semper Fi and good luck

Maddie Ziegler Will Make You Wish You Were a 13-Year-Old Ballerina
Allow her to inspire you to break some rules in a new dance video for Capezio.
If anyone was born to stand out, it's Maddie Ziegler. The 13-year-old Dance Moms prodigy, Sia double, and former ELLE.com correspondent proves it in a new campaign video for dance apparel brand Capezio. She starts out in line doing warm ups with the rest of the class of young ballerinas and eventually breaks free with her own free-form moves. It doesn't take long for the other dancers to follow suit–how could you not?

For those of us who, sadly, can't copy her moves, you can at least get her look–Maddie is wearing Capezio's Game Face Mesh Crop Jacket ($55) in the killer vid.

great views No sun loungers
nice view over the lake & a stylish hotel
The place , the view and the room decoretion The bed is not comfortble and noisely
Very nice view and nice rooms. No ironing board and iron in the room like in similar category hotels.
I booked my daughter and son-in-law into the hotel on the night of their civil wedding so they could get some rest from their baby girl before the church ceremony the following day. They loved the peace and quiet and the modern design and facilities in the room, particularly the Nespresson machine and the B&O system.
The forrest directly behind the hotel is great for running before and after work. Clean air and great view. Bad and expensive WLAN connection in rooms. Bed was a bit uncomfortable. Taxi's are expensive and hotel is a little remote.
I wasn't the one who stayed, but my client. He was absolutely delighted, and happy.

No one writes better mystery suspense novels than Scott Turow.
Scott Turow not only knows what his readers want, he delivers just about perfectly… Turow is the closest we have to a Balzac of the fin de siècle professional class.
Turow has set new standards for the genre, most notably in the depth and subtlety of his characterizations… The kind of reading pleasure that only the best novelists—genre or otherwise—can provide.
Of all the lawyer-storytellers who have clambered onto the bestseller lists in recent years, Scott Turow is the champ. Not only are his plots absorbing and his characters persuasive, but his sentences flow with an artful cadence.
Turow brings a literary sensibility to a grit-and-gravel genre: if he calls to mind any comparison, it's to John le Carré. His novels are shaped by [a] studied bleakness, an introspect's embrace of the gray-zone ambiguities of modern life.
Turow is well established as one of the greater writers of modern legal thrillers… Turow's prose is beautiful and his observations, particularly the perceptions of small-scale human vulnerabilities, can take your breath away.
One begins with admiration for Turow's skillful evocation of the thrill of detection; one finishes fascinated by his deft probing of the mysteries of character and family. Like John le Carré in the realm of spy novels and P. D. James in that of mysteries, Scott Turow has the goods to transcend the limitations of the genre.

Wednesday's document dump of government files on Afghan prisoners captured by Canadian soldiers represents everything Ottawa is willing to divulge on the treatment of these detainees.
It will be several thousand pages – building on the 10,000 or so pages of records already made public on the handover of prisoners to Afghan jails widely known for torture and mistreatment.
But don't bet on finding evidence that might settle the question of whether Canadian soldiers or government officials knowingly or deliberately turned over prisoners to abuse.
The Harper government, together with two opposition parties, set up the process back in 2010 for screening and filtering these documents in such a way that walled off from scrutiny the most confidential deliberations on the subject.
The 2010 inter-party deal on the release of documents, which Jack Layton's New Democrats boycotted, stipulated that there were two categories of documents that would be withheld from MPs – and by extension, from the public.
These disclosure loopholes include records that the Harper government declares to be matters of cabinet confidentiality – advice for cabinet, briefs, memos or records of cabinet discussions – as well as any legal advice provided to Ottawa by Justice Department lawyers.
The deal said: "Cabinet confidences and information subject to solicitor-client privilege are classes of information that the Parliament of Canada has long recognized are sensitive and may require protection from disclosure."
The 2010 accord between the Conservatives, the Liberals and Bloc Québécois assigned MPs from each of these parties to scrutinize records on Canada's record in Afghanistan.
A panel of three arbiters – former judges – vetted documents that Ottawa claimed were cabinet confidences or legal advice to ensure this censorship is justified.
A separate report from these jurists was be tabled in Parliament Wednesday along with the stacks of Afghan detainee records.
Keeping legal advice secret represents a major exemption given that the legality of what Canada was doing – and whether it could be in violation of the Geneva Conventions – is a crucial question in the detainee controversy. The Geneva Convention makes it a war crime to transfer detainees to those who would abuse them and obliges the detaining power to recover transferred prisoners if they are being maltreated.
The record exemptions protect more than just the Tories, who only inherited the war in Afghanistan when they took power in 2006. It also protects cabinet decisions made by the former Liberal government in 2005.
Defenders of these loopholes say it's important to keep secret memos for cabinet and deliberations by ministers in order to protect the power to give unvarnished advice to government.
But critics have said the panel of MPs should have been allowed to see legal advice from government lawyers. The George W. Bush administration, for instance, waived the solicitor-client privilege to allow the release of controversial memos that advised what maltreatment was legally acceptable.
The Globe and Mail will be publishing the detainee documents as we receive them.
As the documents are made public at globeandmail.com, readers will be able to comb through the records and flag noteworthy passages. Follow our reporting on these documents at www.globeandmail.com/politics .Report Typo/Error

I thought I would share a few of the lovely new Patterns coming from The Big Four pattern companies today.
First up is Vogue V9103, and I am completely in love with it!
Those darts, that v-neck plunge! Le sigh, they're perfect and I think I may have to pick up a copy of this understated perfection. As you can see from the above, there are a couple of different variations and I'm not entirely sure about the gathering in back however; I think in real life it would give a truly enchanting flair to an otherwise plain skirt. The fabric needed isn't insane either. At just under 4m this could be a pretty and cheap make for the Summer!
Vogue have a tricky reputation, and even I will admit their Patterns can be entirely too snooty but they do design beautiful things. My advice? Read all of the instructions, even the bits at the beginning about how to use the Pattern and make sure you look at both the picture and the written instructions. They have a tendency to assume you have done this before which can trip up even a *ahem* seasoned seamstress!
Next up… McCalls M7154…
This Pattern is truly sublime, don't you think? It's from the McCalls Archive Collection and I hope you are as pleased as I am all of these companies are re-releasing their Vintage Patterns! They call it swoon-worthy and I'd have to agree. Capturing the essence of that elusive between the Wars glamour they have another here, both of which are Patterns I think I may buy simply to gaze upon their glory.
Including sizes 6 to 22 this dress is to be made in fabrics which I think sound as lovely as the finished item… Charmeuse, Crepe de Chine or Crepe Back Satin. Yum! Because of this I think it places the skill level firmly in Adventurous Intermediate or even Advanced but the effort would be well worth it!
Finally, this interesting Vintage re-release from Simplicity 1166…
I think if you were looking for a truly Vintage Summer look this is the one for you. I'd be going for the more covered up version however; if you were brave the bikini style top version would be super cute on any beach, don't you think? I actually love the shirt on its own, and think it would also look amazing with a pair of jeans too!
Pattern includes button up blouse, bra top with crossed back, and full skirt with buttons up to a size 24… woop! It's quite fabric heavy though, that skirt needs over 4m, yikes!
That's it for Pattern Ponderings this week, have you discovered a delicious Pattern recently? Do tell… if you're in or near Bristol, UK join Sewing Club on Facebook to swap and share Patterns.
If you're as into Patterns and Pattern Making as I am watch this space too for more news on my Pattern Drafting Jeans Sew-a-Long as it's just getting warmed up!
Happy stitching!

Recipe by CindiJ
This recipe is adapted from a box of Uncle Bens Long Grain & Wild Rice with the ingredients I had on hand. This was incredible on grilled salmon, chicken, pork & even turkey. Trying later on tofu.
Top Review by Digital Girlie
I was a little hesitant to try this since I was using an indoor grill. But I made chicken sandwiches with this glaze and they turned out phenomenal. We absolutely loved this. The only thing I did different was I added a splash of lemon juice. We will be making this a staple at our house. Thanks.

Oppressive heat doesn't stop Tiger
Funny that Tiger Woods should have brought up Southern Hills after his second round in the oppressive heat and humidity of Congressional Country Club on Friday.
The 2007 PGA Championship in Tulsa was, by far, the hottest I've been on a golf course — triple-digit temperatures and humidity that soaked the shirt on your back within moments.
Conditions so stifling that John Daly couldn't enjoy a cigarette and didn't step foot on the course until his opening tee shot.
"It's too hot to practice. I've been playing slots over at Cherokee Casino," Daly said of his preparation.
"Did good the first day; didn't do too good the other day."
Sort of like how his tournament went.
But Woods "did good" on all the days, winning that major because he survived better than anyone else.
And he was at it again Friday, thrusting himself back into contention at the AT&T National after an impressive 3-under-par 68, shot as the mercury touched 104 and sent fans scampering for shade. He finished five strokes behind leader Hunter Mahan, who shot a 6-under 65.
His performance, which left him in a tie for eighth midway through the day, allowed him the opportunity to extol the virtues of his fitness.
Woods is sensitive about the criticism he receives for spending so much time working out. Running has been blamed for exacerbating his knee and Achilles problems, and there are many who think his beefed-up body isn't ideal for golf.
Woods, of course, doesn't agree.
"That's why I train, that's why I run all those miles," he said.
"If you're carrying a little bit of body fat, it's going to be a little bit of insulation out there. This is when fitness does help, and I figure that's one of the reasons why I've had the success I've had in the elements.
"I think it's one of the reasons why I had success at Southern Hills, because I felt physically fit, didn't have a problem with it."
Woods acknowledged that on exacting days like Friday — and on a course that's set up like a US Open — players' games are tested but so, too, does it become a mental test.
"You're going to be out here for probably six hours, seven hours, and it's a long day, it's going to be tough," he said.
Woods got a few breaks, teeing off early, beating the worst of the heat, and rolling in a nearly 50-footer for eagle on the par-5 16th, his seventh hole of the round.
"I was waiting for it to feed back (to the hole) because it was hanging, hanging, hanging, and then it just fell right in," he said.
But Woods pointed to the par saves he made on the two previous holes as the most pivotal plays of his round.
They weren't just garden-variety up-and-downs.
After missing the fairway with a 3-wood on 14th, Woods hit a wedge from 70 yards to three feet and on the next, another long par 4, Woods saved par from six feet after a pinpoint wedge from 100 yards.
"The pars at 14 and 15 were something I needed to have happen," Woods said.
"I hit two good wedge shots in there after two poor drives and gave myself a couple good looks, made those, and then I rewarded all that hard work at the next hole with an eagle.
"I thought that today I got more out of my round. On a golf course like this, you're not going to hit it perfect all day, it's just too difficult. You're going to have to make some saves. Today I did."
Not coincidentally, Woods' putter cooperated in making those saves.
He took just 27 putts, crediting his old Stanford teammate Notah Begay with helping him on the practice green.
"We were working on a few things the other day and liked what I was doing," he said.
"Today felt very comfortable. It was one of those days where you just stay patient.
"You shoot something in the 60s, and I think that would have been a good score. I shot 68 today, which was, I thought, a very good score.
"I'm only three back.
"I'm right there."
Of course, he was right there after two rounds at the Olympic Club two weeks ago, too.

We all need a break from reality sometimes. When I can't handle whats going on the outside world I look for a good book and a good music to at least have a moment of escape so I could think clearly and deal with everything with a sound mind. I also find GAG as a good escape. How about you?
Most Helpful Girl
I'm trying to escape reality right now. I'm quite stressed so I need a distraction but I haven't found one that would work perfectly yet.
Music helps a bit, but not really.
I guess sleep is the best escape, at least then you're not thinking about things that worry you.11|00|0
Agree. Sleep is very helpful.
Thanks for MHO!

Rivalry, Love, Friendships and Catfights are the basics of survival for the Bollywood stars. One such friends turned foes are Salman and Hrithik, who are now on their best way to get together again. The fight that began since the Guzaarish controversy is soon to end. Mumbai Mirror reveals the various steps that brought the two stars together.
It is believed that a very major cause that has stirred up the Sallu-Hrithik rivalry was none other than Shahrukh Khan. Hrithik's proximity to Shahrukh Khan proved to be a hindrance. But destiny has something else planned for both the actors.
It was actually Hrithik's first move in 2011, when he went to Salman's home to wish him luck before he flew out of the country for his nerve surgery. The gesture surprised many. But it did manage to make its mark.
December 2011: Hrithik, who was dubbing for Agneepath at YRF Studios, spotted Aditya Chopra sitting outside Salman's van with none other than... Salman himself. Salman was shooting for his film Ek Tha Tiger. Hrithik immediately went and spoke to them. If our source is to be believed, the conversation lasted for over an hour.
The growing friendship strengthened after Salman and Hrithik accidentally bumped into each other on this UAE bound aircraft. While Salman was accompanied with his family, Hrithik was on his way to join his wife, kids and friends Arjun Rampal, Shahrukh Khan and Ritesh Sidhwani.
But despite such miraculous and friendly encounters, why did Sallu miyaan not allow Hrithik to step in the Bigg Boss 5 finale?

This hotel is located 5-7 min walk away from Milan Central Station.
I booked this hotel for a week, but stayed for only 3 nights since we traveled to other cities such as Verona, Venice, Firenze and Roma.
It's really convenient for us to take the first trains to and last trains from other cities.
all the staff is so kind, friendly and speak good English.
We arrived in airport in the morning, and we wanted early check in, so i contacted before hand asking them for an early check-in like if there would be an available room.
they got us a room ready when we got there.
The room is big enough, I heard every room is semi sweet. it has bed space with closet, living and sofa space, mini kitchen and bathroom.
clean and quiet.
everything was perfect as I requested like non-smoking, and 2 separate beds.
free breakfast is good.
I couldn't find restaurants or bars a lot around this hotel but I recomend this hotel if you plan on traveling around in Italy like us or short stay in Milan because other hotels around main city like Duomo is more expensive.
It's easy to access to Duomo and Monte Napoleone from central station.
I would choose this hotel when i go back to Milan again:)

April 28... The day when a loving wife, caring mother and thoughtful grandmother was born. Yesterday was my lola's 75th birthday and our whole family decided to throw a party for her. It was like 3 weeks left before my grandma's birthday so everyone was busy helping for the preparation. She knows that we prepared a party for her but she didn't know what will happen during the party and the things we prepared for her which will make her birthday extra special.
We went to Bataan for our yearly family summer outing. We usually go to beaches since it's summer. This is one of the things i really watch out for during school vacation 'cause our whole family is complete, if you don't know yet I have loads of relatives on my mother side and take note, we are all close to each other. Just joking around like we're a group of high school friends.

"Amazing care on ward D48"
About: Sunderland Royal Hospital Sunderland Royal Hospital Sunderland SR4 7TP
Posted by Gillian Patton
I was not expecting at all to have to be admitted to hospital as I thought my ankle was only swollen.When I found out it was badly broken and needed surgery I was so upset and so scared. I was admitted to ward D48 late at night. The staff were the most amazing people I have ever met. They all were so loving,helpful and so hard working, nothing was any trouble for them. I can not express enough what amazing people they all are and so need to be recognised more for what they do. Not only is the care exceptional but also everything is so organised for your further treatment etc. Every single person from the managers to the lovely staff bringing my tea and cleaning the ward every day need a massive pat on the back and sent the biggest thankyou from myself..Gillian Patton

Before you send that return to the IRS, be sure you're making the most of your available deductions.
Tax Day is quickly approaching, but before you (or your accountant) file that 2015 return, make sure you're not missing these three money-saving deductions and exclusions—especially if you sold your home or turned 65 in 2015.
The Standard Deduction
You probably already know that if you don't itemize, you can take the standard deduction. For 2015, that's $6,300 if you're single and $12,600 if you're a married couple filing jointly. But did you know that when you turn 65, the IRS bumps those numbers up? For a single individual, the standard deduction becomes $7,850. For married couples filing jointly, it increases to $15,100 if both are 65 years old; $13,850 if only one is.
Home Sale Exclusion
This one is particularly relevant for older adults who lived in their homes for a long time and sold it last year. "Many soon-to-be and current retirees downsize and sell their primary residence," says Laurie Samay, CFP and client service manager with Palisades Hudson Financial Group LLC in Scarsdale, N.Y. If you made a hefty profit from selling your house in 2015, you may be able to shelter a chunk of that money from the taxman.
Here's how it works: If you lived in your primary home for at least two out of the five years before you sold it, you are likely to be able to exclude gains of up to $250,000 if you're filing as single and up to $500,000 if you're married and filing jointly. However, if you took the exclusion for another property within the last two years, you won't be eligible to take it for 2015. You can find detailed rules for this tax benefit on the IRS's website.
State and Local Sales Tax Deduction
When it comes to itemized deductions, many people choose to deduct state and local income taxes paid in that year. But you also have the lesser-known option of deducting state and local sales taxes. "Many taxpayers who live in states that do not impose an income tax might not know that they are eligible to deduct state and local sales taxes," says Samay. This could be key for retirees who have moved to states that don't have income taxes, such as Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming.
There are a few caveats to this deduction though. First, you can't take both. You can only deduct state and local income taxes or state and local sales taxes. While opting to deduct income taxes will often save you the most money, people who live in states with a high sales tax rate may benefit most from taking the deduction from sales tax. Second, you can only opt for the sales tax deduction if you itemize your deductions. If you take the standard deduction, you're not eligible.

Re: CAQ advice: Work hard, like Asians, Aug. 15
All Canadians should be shocked at the racism shown by the various parties in the Quebec election. François Legault's comments actually pale in comparison to the recent announcement by PQ leader Pauline Marois, that if her party wins, turbans, kippahs and hijabs will be banned from government offices — but crucifixes are OK.
While Legault's statements may be defended as fair comment on different cultural values, Marois's announcement is a blatant assault on freedom of religion. Yet obviously her announcement was intended to attract votes.
One could hope that Quebec voters would reject this outrageous pandering to racism if it were the first time this issue has come up. Unfortunately bashing minorities seems to be a perennial tactic in that province.
It's a shame that the defense of cultural sovereignty so often crosses the line. As leader of a progressive party, Marois really should know better.

What's your favorite blonde joke?

That is hilarious! Thanks for sharing.
A plane is on its way to Detroit when a blonde woman in economy class gets up and moves into an open seat in the first class section.
The flight attendant watches her do this, and politely informs the woman that she must sit in economy class because that's the type of ticket she paid for.
The blonde replies, "I'm blonde, I'm beautiful, I'm going to Detroit and I'm staying right here."
After repeated attempts and no success at convincing the woman to move, the flight attendant goes into the cockpit and informs the pilot and co-piolet that there's a blonde bimbo sitting in first class who refuses to go back to her proper seat. The co-pilot goes back to the woman and explains why she needs to move, but once again the woman replies by saying, "I'm blonde, I'm beatiful, I'm going to Detroit and I'm staying right here."
The co-pilot returns to the cockpit and suggests that perhaps they should have the arrival gate call the police and have the woman arrested when they land. The pilot says, "You say she's blonde? I'll handle this. I'm married to a blonde. I speak blonde." He goes back to the woman and whispers quietly in her ear, and she says, "Oh, I'm sorry," then quickly moves back to her seat in economy class.
The flight attendant and co-pilot are amazed and ask him what he said to get her to move back to economy without causing any fuss.
"I told her first class isn't going to Detroit."
That was funny! Softdrink I like yours too!
The commercial was actually kind of surreal, then again, I'm short on sleep.
And also blonde.
hehee! that was FUNNY! and Jill's one was also FUNNNY!
Both are really funny. (yeah, I'm not a blonde.)
I send blonde jokes to my blonde friend all the time and she never gets them!
Well, I'm blonde but my favorite was sent by a paramedic friend.
A blonde calls the fire station and says, "Help, help! My house is on fire! Come quick!"
The fire chief says, "How do we get to your house?"
"Duh," says the blonde. "Big red truck?"
why did the dog cross the road?
cause it thought it was a chicken. lol

Zambia Integrated Management of Malaria and Pneumonia Study (ZIMMAPS)
Project Description
Malaria and pneumonia are the two leading causes of death among children under age five in sub-Saharan Africa. Fever is a symptom of both conditions, making it very difficult to distinguish one disease from another, particularly for volunteer community health workers who provide primary health care in remote rural areas. All Zambian children who come to rural community health posts with a fever are treated with antimalarial drugs and those suspected of pneumonia are referred to the health center. This often leads to treatment for the wrong disease, exposure to inappropriate antimalarials, and delays in care for pneumonia.
The Zambia Integrated Management of Malaria and Pneumonia Study (ZIMMAPS) was designed to determine whether community health workers could employ a simple, rapid diagnostic test (RDT) for malaria, and, based on the results, follow strict treatment guidelines to treat accordingly. Children who tested positive were treated for malaria and those suspected of having simple pneumonia were given a course of the antibiotic amoxicillin. Severe cases of pneumonia were referred to a health center.
Findings from ZIMMAPS showed that with proper training and support, community health workers can effectively diagnose and treat malaria and pneumonia, thus improving the treatment rates for both.
As a result, Zambia's National Malaria Control Center and the Child Health Unit are scaling up use of the antimalarial drug artemether-lumefantrine with the use of RDTs by community health workers and integrating pneumonia treatment into existing home management treatment of malaria.
The study also helps address problems associated with presumptive treatment for malaria—waste and overtreatment—as well as delays in getting treatment for pneumonia. Public health experts worry that over-prescription could lead to widespread resistance to the artemisinin-based combination therapy drugs currently used in Zambia and nearly all other African nations. In addition, the delay in starting treatment for pneumonia could lead to severe disease and death. A thorough cost analysis of the intervention versus the standard practice is also planned.
This project is one activity of the CGHD's Child and Family Applied Research project (CFAR).

|reset_timeout() needed in mod_include
|Sun, 02 Feb 1997 06:49:08 GMT
We need a reset_timeout() in mod_include. That is the type of thing I was thinking about when I was leery of lowering the default timeout too much; right now, no request that takes more than timeout seconds can be send by mod_rewrite. It is easy to add if something like my hacked patches are implemented. If not, it is annoying (ie. lame to add one that just updates ever x chars sent, IMHO) to add because I sure don't want to be calling it for every request. Oh, and my previous concern about not checking return values is not justified. I was just seeing the result of something else; mod_include uses hard_timeout so no worries.

This workstation is making me crazy. It came off the production floor with Win2000 on it, complaints of it being "unreliable". It sat on a shelf for a long time, and the battery died, lost its BIOS settings. I put a new battery in, loaded the recommended "optimized" defaults. I tested its memory and hard disk (both passed), and then reformatted it with WinXP SP2. It installed fine. After the very last reboot of the installation, it bluescreened and rebooted. So I thought, must be a BIOS setting wrong, I turned off all caching/BIOS/video shadowing, etc. and tried again. It booted so I turned things back on one by one until I isolated what made it bluescreen. It was the processor L1 & L2 cache.
It will boot up and run slooowly with that disabled. It absolutely will not boot up with it enabled. And it doesn't make a minidump for me, so I don't know what the bluescreen error is. It goes by too fast.
This machine is a homemade (by someone before me) Celeron 2GHz with an iWill P4HT motherboard in it. I do not have the driver CD for it, and iWill is long gone. But its one of the more powerful machines on the floor, so I need to get it going.
I have tried swapping the processor with another identical machine, and it had no effect, same problem. (The identical machine has a motherboard problem, it powers itself off randomly, even with a new power supply.)
What else can I try? Anyone got a chipset driver disk for iWill :-) ?

Does it have the latest windows updates? There is a program that allows you to create a CD to get you up to date so you don't have to use the super slow PC to attempt that. here's a link:
this was featured on the Security Now podcast episode 124
Aug 29, 2008 at 11:31 UTC
I would try booting up in safe mode first, see if it boots up. Then you should be able to see an event in event viewer that will be titled System error, this will have the bugcheck info on it. But my guess would be that this motherboard has problems as well(not necessarily power problem though), esp if you switched procs and had the same problem. Most of the the really cheap mobo brands (ECS, iWill, etc )have low quality products and high hardware failure rates.
Aug 29, 2008 at 11:47 UTC
Thanks guys! I finally remembered how to make it not reboot on error, so I have it stuck on the BSOD now. Its STOP: 0x07B (0xF8958528, 0xC034, 0x0, 0x0). I looked that up on Google, and surprise, its a hardware error. Disk controller driver maybe. I'm going to try the Windows Update disk and see if there are any Windows drivers out there for it.
It won't boot in Safe Mode either. :-( But when I disable processor cache and bootup, there are no errors in the System Log.
I may just move it from the "fix it" to the "more trouble than its worth" shelf...

The Shawnee Mission School Board voted to open a new aquatic center for the district, which will be run by Johnson County Parks and Recreation. The City of Lenexa donated land at 87th and Penrose Lane, just at the edge of the district boundary ,for the aquatic center. Construction is set to begin in spring of 2017, and the pool is scheduled to open in fall of 2018.
The aquatic center will cost 20 million dollars but will not increase taxes, according to Superintendent Jim Hinson. To pay for the pool, the district is selling bonds. This idea was proposed and passed last January, and will raise 230 million dollars to pay for the pool and other district projects.
In years past, Shawnee Mission has not been able to host large swim meets, including district invitationals and league meets, due to lack of pool space. For years, Shawnee Mission has had to rent pool space from Olathe Schools or Lawrence Free State, forcing athletes to drive far away. The Kansas City metro area also has no competitive swimming pools available for teams such as the Kansas City Blazers and Kansas City Swim Academy. The closest pools are located in Topeka, Columbia and Gladstone.
"I'm excited for the new pool," said Varsity swimmer Trinity Legill. "I'm excited that I won't have to drive super far away to attend a swim meet and that my parents will have a comfortable place to watch, instead of the humid, cramped East pool."
ACI Boland Architects will be designing the natatorium. The plans feature a 50 meter racing pool, a diving well and seating for 1,500 people. The aquatic center will also provide a place for Shawnee Mission high school teams to practice, in addition each school's pool. Each school will have a turn using the aquatic center and hosting meets there.
Over time, the district has received complaints from students and parents about lack of pool space. A committee, comprised of district advisors, which meets and gives the district feedback, finally decided to push for the new pool.
Originally, it was proposed that the natatorium would be built at Shawnee Mission South, on the current Environmental Lab property. However, community members strongly opposed this proposal, arguing to keep the Shawnee Mission South Environmental Lab running, as it is used for classes such as Environmental Education and elementary field trips. Protesters didn't want to lose that area and also didn't want to attract high traffic to the South area.
According to Bob Robinson, Shawnee Mission's Executive Director of Facilities, this land would be a tight fit for the building and provide limited parking for athletes as well as spectators.
"This pool will be great for the district," District Administrator Leigh Anne Neal said. "Now we will be able to host larger swim meets, provide the community with a pool and, hopefully, give free swim lessons to elementary students."
While the logistics of swim lessons have not been finished, it is one of the many things the district hopes to implement in the new pool.

text: I will examine your breasts and perhaps take photographs for your medical record. I will consider such factors as the size and shape of your breasts, the quality of your skin and the placement of your nipples and areolas (the pigmented skin surrounding the nipples). If your breasts are sagging, a breast lift may be recommended in conjunction with augmentation. You should come to the consultation prepared to discuss your medical history. This will include information about any medical conditions, drug allergies, medical treatments you have received, previous surgeries including breast biopsies, and medications that you currently take. You will be asked whether you have a family history of breast cancer and about results of any mammograms. It is important for you to provide complete information. There is no scientific evidence that breast augmentation increases the risk of breast cancer. The presence of breast implants, however, makes it more technically difficult to take and read mammograms. This may be a special consideration for women who perhaps are at higher risk for breast cancer because of their family history or other reasons. Placement of the implant underneath the pectoral muscle may interfere less with mammographic examination, but other factors may also need to be considered with regard to implant placement. Your plastic surgeon will discuss this with you. If you are planning to lose a significant amount of weight, be sure to tell your plastic surgeon. He or she may recommend that you stabilize your weight prior to undergoing surgery. If you think that you may want to become pregnant in the future, you should mention this to your surgeon. Pregnancy can alter breast size in an unpredictable way and could affect the long-term results of your breast augmentation. There is no evidence that breast implants will affect pregnancy or your ability to breast-feed, but if you have questions about these matters, you should ask your plastic surgeon. Your Surgical Experience The goal of your plastic surgeon and the entire staff is to make your surgical experience as easy and comfortable for you as possible.

Attaching Rkt To Plastic Dowel...
Decorating By JenFailla Updated 18 Mar 2011 , 5:11pm by Marianna46
Hi all,
I have a quick question that I hope someone with much more knowledge than me can help me out with. I am doing a cake for tomorrow (a friend's child) and I need to have a tallish tree- more of an oak, or maple (not a pine tree). I had started a gumpaste one wrapped around a wilton plastic dowel and I ended up HATING IT!!!!
So, now my thought is that I'll make the whole tree out of RKT, but how would I adhere the RKT to the dowel, piping gel??? I'd like to then use royal icing to make the leaves and to cover the tree trunk to make it look "bark-like".
Am I on the right track or am I heading towards disaster?
Also, any thoughts on branch support? I only want about 2 or 3 branches, and don't really want to use wire- would a food safe candy stick work well??
Thank you in advance for any advice that you have. Sorry it was last minute!!
I think melted chocolate or royal icing would be strong enough to make the RKTs stick to your dowel. Piping gel might make it just slide off. Maybe you could use plastic- or paper-covered wire for the branches? It seems like you'd need wire for flexibility. Your tree sounds like a lovely idea. I hope it works out for you.

Synthesis Review
- Age-related differences in plasma BDNF levels after prolonged bed rest
Blood concentrations of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) increase after 14 days of bed rest in older but not younger people, and may indicate that the aging brain is less resistant to acute stresses, and increases in BDNF could represent the protective response to the acute stress of bed rest.
- Vitamin D3 intake modulates diaphragm but not peripheral muscle force in young mice
In vitro force data from a peripheral leg muscle [extensor digitorum longus (EDL)] as well as diaphragm (DIA) force from an older group of mice (12 wk old) were included. Additional markers of muscle anabolism and catabolism were also included. The data confirm that vitamin D modifies DIA force in young mice, suggesting a role for vitamin D in DIA development.
- Intestinal and sublingual microcirculation are more severely compromised in hemodilution than in hemorrhage
This study showed that in the systemic hyperdynamic state of hemodilution, intestinal and sublingual microcirculation were more severely compromised than in hemorrhage. Consequently, the decreased ability to increase O2 extraction could result from microcirculatory shunting, and not from failure in O2 dissociation from Hb. Despite the severe villi hypoperfusion, tissue Pco2 was normal, which could be ascribed to CO2 clearance in the deeper intestinal layers.
- Chronic in vivo or acute in vitro resveratrol attenuates endothelium-dependent cyclooxygenase-mediated contractile signaling in hypertensive rat carotid artery
These experiments were designed to investigate the under-studied role of resveratrol (RSV) in affecting COX and TP receptor-mediated endothelium-dependent contraction that can contribute to endothelial dysfunction. The data demonstrate for the first time that both chronic in vivo RSV treatment and acute in vitro RSV exposure can attenuate endothelium-dependent contraction and that this attenuating effect can occur in the arterial wall not only by suppressing PG production via AMPK but also by inhibiting TP receptor activity.
- Living altitude influences endurance exercise performance change over time at altitude
This study adds new practical information for endurance athletes, coaches, and sport physiologists on the best living altitude and acclimatization time for altitude training before an endurance competition taking place at altitude. We recommend that endurance athletes competing acutely at a low altitude (1,780 m) acclimatize by living at that altitude and not higher. Athletes choosing to live at a higher altitude may need longer acclimatization time to minimize performance decrements at altitude.
- Short-term aerobic exercise training improves gut peptide regulation in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver-related disease. Exercise is widely prescribed as treatment, but the mechanism is unknown. We examined the effects of exercise on gut peptides [peptide tyrosine tyrosine (PYY) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)] in patients with clinically diagnosed NAFLD. Prior to training, those with NAFLD exhibited elevated fasting plasma PYY and GLP-1, and the response to glucose ingestion was abnormal. Exercise reduced fasting GLP-1 and normalized the glucose-stimulated response of both hormones.
- Increased ventilatory variability and complexity in patients with hyperventilation disorder
It has been hypothesized but never proven that hyperventilation disorder results from an abnormality of respiratory control. We show that well-defined patients suffering from hyperventilation disorder (permanent hypocapnia during a cardiopulmonary exercise test) are characterized by increased variability of their resting ventilation due to increased ventilatory complexity with stable ventilatory-chemoresponsiveness interactions. We hypothesize that this submissive hypocapnia may be related to central nervous system sensitization.
- Chronic intermittent hypoxia alters ventilatory and metabolic responses to acute hypoxia in rats
Our study addresses the controversy of whether chronic exposure to intermittent hypoxia enhances ventilatory chemosensitivity. We quantified hypoxic chemosensitivity in conscious rats using a novel method, which unlike most previously published approaches, was able to uncover key effects of prolonged intermittent hypoxia on both metabolic and ventilatory responses to acute hypoxia. We propose that hypoxic chemosensitivity is indeed enhanced by intermittent hypoxia and thus is a potentially important contributor to sleep disordered breathing in humans.

- WISE 2005: Aerobic and resistive countermeasures prevent paraspinal muscle deconditioning during 60-day bed rest in women
Aerobic and resistive exercise that promotes musculoskeletal loading through the spine may be beneficial during prolonged spaceflight to mitigate the effects of microgravity and maintain cross-sectional area and strength of the lumbar paraspinal muscles.
- Motor control of landing from a countermovement jump in simulated microgravity
For the first time, the mechanism of landing from a jump is investigated in weightlessness with simulated gravity conditions (1-0.2 g). Even if this environment is far from the usual Earth's gravitational field, humans adjust their motor command to the task constraints. Kinetic, kinematic, and electromyographic observations enlarge the knowledge of the plasticity of the human motor system for the exploration of Moon, Mars, and other planets with different gravity.
- Effect of acute hypercapnia during 10-day hypoxic bed rest on posterior eye structures
Horizontal 10-day bed rest, followed by acute hypercapnia and hypoxia, resulted in morphological changes of posterior eye structures measured by optical coherence tomography. Bed rest caused an increase in the thickness of the choroidal layer. Hypoxia and hypercapnia caused an increase in the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL). It appears that the increase in the choroidal layer is affected predominantly by a hydrostatic, and the RNFL by a vasoactive, effect.
HIGHLIGHTED TOPIC | Molecular Adaptations to Exercise, Heat Acclimation, and Thermotolerance
- Rapid cooling after acute hyperthermia alters intestinal morphology and increases the systemic inflammatory response in pigs
This study used pigs, a more advanced phylogenic model, to provide physiological support for the idea that rapid cooling may be detrimental to the pathophysiology of hyperthermia in humans. It was determined that rapid cooling to promote acute hyperthermia recovery directly resulted in intestinal morphological changes associated with greater damage and increased the systemic inflammatory response.
- Cytosolic calcium transients are a determinant of contraction-induced HSP72 transcription in single skeletal muscle fibers
The activating factors for contraction-induced HSP72 transcription in skeletal muscle remain unclear. The present study utilizes single skeletal muscle fibers to demonstrate that the intermittent cytosolic Ca2+ transient that occurs with skeletal muscle depolarization provides a sufficient stimulus to activate HSP72 transcription. Metabolic or mechanical factors associated with fatigue and cross-bridge cycling likely play a more limited role.
