I am so guilty of this! First off, I love problem solving. I admit it – I'm kind of addicted. Brainstorming and thinking up a plan or process to implement are like drugs for me! So why do I find myself sitting here uninspired? Well, as it turns out, I've kind of planned myself into a black hole. Over thought this one. "What if" has been the sentence starter for every internal comment over the past weekend, and now I'm stuck. What if I don't get any business? What if no one buys or likes my stuff? What if I started something that I can't finish? Then what? And then, it hit me.
What if I … fail?!
Ha. The word failing to a recovering perfectionist like myself is enough to cause a mental shut down. It sends me into a tailspin, and I think work work work, do do do, must NOT fail. But is it that bad? Should I sit here dreading the thought so much that I become an unproductive mess?
Not that I'm promoting failing here, just learning to accept and appreciate its qualities … instead of queing doomsday music. After all, each failure has taught me incredible lessons. Like the time I failed at my serving gig. At that age, I thought I was invincible, could do ANYTHING, and had yet to learn enough about myself as to appreciate why things had ended like they did. (No, I did not spit in anyone's food or light the place on fire – just had two complaints in one night. One for a beverage not being refilled and the other had to do with the food – which I did not prepare, long story short.) But the whole point of that experience was learning to recognize burn out, learning when to let go, and appreciating my strengths and weaknesses.
I've also failed at life in other ways, too. For instance, losing out on an entire's semester of hard work and skipping finals because of a boyfriend, keeping friendships that were toxic because I couldn't let go, and over committing to projects because I couldn't disappoint or say no. Each one taught me something, though. Things I had to learn to become who I am today.
I can sit here now and without a shadow of a doubt tell you that I am more than capable of planning, executing, and styling a richly textured and aesthetically pleasing event. And that to me is amazing! I am not gloating or boasting, I'm just gladly recognizing the talents I possess. And that is so healthy for a recovering perfectionist like myself. I may not be an expert yet on all things event planning, but I am willing to learn.
So what if the art doesn't sell, the vintage pieces collect dust, and I never get hired? I will have loved every minute of it! And as far as my problem solving addiction goes, guess I'll just have to dream up something new 😀

Loosing 4 top teeth!
- 25 Replies
My son lost his 2 front teeth a couple weeks ago. And now the other 2 beside those are loose. He's going to be wishing for 4 front teef for Christhmasth!!!!
Do you know anyone who's had this happen?? I know you lose teeth in the order that you got them in, but i didnt expect him to be completely toothless! He's 6 1/2
I don't know, my oldest is 5, and didn't get her first tooth until she was 1 year and 10 days old. Not kidding. She'll probably have her baby teeth until she's in middle school. LOL
That is very strange! Most babies get their 2 bottom teeth, followed by their 2 top teeth, then the two top next to those. Has he been to the dentist yet? I would mention it to them. Having teeth come in the wrong order can lead to some major dental issues later.
My dd is notorious for losing 2 teeth at once or within days of each other. Luckily hers have grown back pretty quickly. I dont think its true that you lose them as you got them. My dd 1st teeth were her front bottom 2 they came in at the same time, then she got both of her top fangs. When she lost her first tooth it was one of the bottom ones, then one of the top ones.
I lost my two front teeth at 18 months :( i swear i sang that song every year till I was eight lol....
My son still has all his teeth but he is only four

SHEEP'S CLOTHING: In the Sunday column, it quotes Billerica Finance Committee member Anthony Ventresca as saying the Progressive Party was made up of communists and that's absolutely true. In the early 1900s when the communists couldn't get a leg in, they started calling themselves progressives and when that didn't work out, they started infiltrating the Democratic Party, and we can all see what happened to that party.
ONE OF OUR OWN HOME: The overall support of the vast majority of warriors in Åfghanistan that their government would try to get Sgt. Bergdahl released just tells the story of how they themselves would feel if they were captured, knowing that their government would do anything to get them released. President Obama did the right thing.
CAN IT: Why support the expanded bottle bill? It's no longer useful; most of us have curbside pickup now so there is no longer a recycling benefit. The bottle bill is nothing more than a new tax that the state wants to impose. I guess it's a blessing that at least this time we voters have a chance to speak our minds on it.

THY Improvisation: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives (Fall 2016)
Looking back at the history of Western art music, we can see that "there is scarcely a single musical technique or form of composition that did not originate in improvisatory practice" (musicologist Ernst Ferand, 1961). In this course, we will explore the cross fertilization between improvised and composed music, from major improvisers such as Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven, to twenty-first century trends and innovations. Relating to the all-school project, the Darmstadt School, attention will be given to aspects of chance and aleatory that became important in the avant-garde of the 1950s and 1960s, and the free improvisation movement that emerged as a result. Other topics will include the influence of improvisation on the compositional process and planning versus spontaneity in music performance. The historical exploration will be complemented by a practical component, involving short examples of in-class playing and improvising by the students.
On a personal note: having written my doctoral dissertation on this topic, and having lectured on it internationally, I noticed that while most musicians recognize there have always been a connection between improvisation, composition, and performance, normally they do not have the opportunity to explore this relationship on a deeper level, something which I hope we will be able to do in this course.
THY 20th and 21st Centuries Performance Practice (Fall 2016)
In performing music from the last hundred years, there are several special challenges: the musical language of each composer is more individual than in the common practice era of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and requires extra study time; in many recent styles there are innovations in instrumental techniques and in notation; and the type of expression and sense of time in modern works are often of revolutionary nature, thus influencing important interpretive decisions. Also, in performing brand new pieces, there is no existing performance tradition, so that the performer is responsible for introducing the piece and its meaning to the public. This course will address all these aspects, while covering a wide range of works, relating both to the students' own repertoire, and to the allschool project of the Darmstadt School. As students gain skill in deciphering the context, expression, and performance challenges of new works, they will develop authority as musical thinkers and confident interpreters of a wide variety of recent styles.
THY Harmonic Thinking in Performance (Spring 2017)
This course offers tools that translate harmonic awareness into making informed interpretive choices. The harmonic component of music relates to many other parameters: melody, rhythm, texture, form, instrumentation, performance markings, expression, and character. Preparing harmonic reductions at various levels of passages from the students' own repertoire will serve as a basis for understanding the harmonic structure of music: chromatic notes that deserve special attention; the presence of forward-moving or ambiguous progressions; mid-phrase expansions versus cadential punctuations; issues of harmonic rhythm and hyper-meter; and so on. At the concluding phase, the students go back to the original piece and think about possible interpretive possibilities, based on increased harmonic awareness. As they learn to analyze the music, they gain authority and become more informed performing artists.
THY The String Quartet (Spring 2017)
The most celebrated type of chamber music ensemble in the past three centuries, the string quartet has given rise to numerous masterpieces. Many composers dedicated to this intimate medium their most personal and inspired ideas, and for many performing groups presenting a complete cycle of the Beethoven or Bartók quartets is a major artistic statement. This course will combine a historical survey of the string quartet literature with a practical discussion of the necessary ensemble skills for playing in a quartet, including in-class demonstrations by the participants. Topics include: relationship between the full score and the individual parts; insights gained from analysis of the music to its performance; and finding how to translate the ideal of chamber music as conversation into practice. Among the pieces studied, attention will be given also to those that relate to the all-school project. Students can sign up as a pre-formed quartet, or as individuals.

As so often happens on our excursions, we were met by nature's bounty, ripe for the picking. I've written before about foraging for wild edibles, and really, it is the BEST feeling when you chance upon a smorgasbord, laid out by Mother Nature herself.
Today's find: wild blackberries and elderberries. Score!
When I returned from our adventure, I sent out this tweet:
Okay, you don't have to twist my arm.
Setting the elderberries aside for now, I had some fresh figs from my brother's tree – this magical tree is crazy with fruit this year, it just won't quit – that I thought would make a nice addition to a crust. No fresh figs? No worries. Substitute pitted dates instead. Not a traditional berry cobbler by any means, but I've never been much of a traditionalist.
1 1/2 C raw cashew nuts
1 1/8 C filtered water
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 C local raw honey (or agave nectar)
1 vanilla bean, scraped
Place cashews, 1 cup water, salt, honey, and vanilla in a blender. Blend on high speed for about a minute. Add a little more water and blend until smooth and creamy. Place in refrigerator to settle. (NOTE: the cream may seem runny at first, but once refrigerated it thickens)
1/2 C pecans
1/4 C flax seed, ground
1/4 tsp sea salt
2 fresh ripe figs (can substitute 3-4 pitted dates), chopped
Fit the food processor with the S-blade and mix until combined and crumbly. Don't over process.
Berry Filling
16 oz blackberries
splash of fresh orange juice
1 Tbsp local raw honey (can substitute agave nectar)
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp sea salt
Set aside half of the berries. Combine the other half with honey, cinnamon, sea salt, and a splash of orange juice in a food processor or blender until smooth.
To Assemble
1. Cover the bottom of your favorite lil' bowl or ceramic ramekin with crumble, pressing gently to form a crust.
2. Pour in a nice dollop of cashew cream.
3. Spoon berry filling into the center of the cream, top off with some whole berries, and serve.
4. Eat. Die. Go to heaven.
Such an easy, elegant dessert to serve your dinner guests in the summer. I enjoyed it as is, but you could also pop the ramekins into the dehydrator and warm before serving.
As for the elderberries, you'll have to check back on Friday to find out what I made with them. Tease, I know.

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week New York Fall 2007
When I told one of my friends I was trying to decide what time to visit Bryant Park last Saturday, he advised me to avoid the area entirely for the next week. After all, that crazy fashion week thing tends to cause a big snarl up with activity - the skating rink even had to close early! When I told him that the shows were the reason I was going, he was a little incredulous that I was seriously willing to submit myself to the crowds. Heck, I was a bit surprised myself!
I have incredibly mixed feelings about going this week. Certainly, I can say that I wanted to experience how things were as a regular (waitlist) show attendee from the front stage. No dressing models this time around. Instead, I walked through the front doors and just watched a lot of shows. The only show that I can even pretend was related to petite clothing was the Ellen Tracy show I just came from tonight - and none of the stuff coming down the runway was likely to be the final petite selection anyway (no, no petite models, don't be silly!). But honestly, despite my somewhat ruthless and unsentimental view about the shows (i.e., the week long clothing commerical), I confess that I still am a bit caught up in the whole hoopla and glamour. As a woman, I think it's probably near impossible to avoid it.
Anyway, I'll try to post a bit about my experience and upload some non-standard photos. Like my previous posts on fashion week, I'm probably not going to bother posting the usual stock photos since there are hundreds of lovelier ones elsewhere - check out Style.com and NY Magazine's coverage. Since this is my first experience with the shows from this end, I'll try to share that experience with you, rather than give any post-show analysis. I know I'll be fixated by the camera pit again, so I apologize in advance!
This shot is actually of the center lobby space, right around the fountain. The waitlist line wraps around it, and generally, it's set up for you to admire the accessories. Note the screens - they play through the previous shows so that you have something to watch while waiting for your late-starting show.

It's okay. There's no sugar in Pixie sticks.Bart
Marge: Homer! Are you planning to hit Ned Flanders with that pipe and steal his tickets?
Homer: Yeno.
Ned: (answers door) Huh? (Homer ges ready to hit him, but changes his mind)
Homer: Oh. Flanders, I decided I'd like to go to the game with you.
Ned: Well, get out the Crayolas and color me "Tickled Pink". Ooh, what's with the lead pipe, were you going to give my noggin a flogging?
Homer: Well, yeah.
(they both laugh)
Homer: Why do you mock me, O Lord?
Marge: Homer, that's not God. That's just a waffle that Bart tossed up there. (She scrapes it down with a broom.)
Homer: I know I shouldn't eat thee, but--(Eats waffle)--Mmm... sacrilicious.
Maude: Come on, Ned! Move this thing!
Ned: I can't! It's a Geo!

First retrievals of methyl chloride from ground-based high-resolution FTIR solar observations

Methyl chloride (CH3Cl) is one of the most abundant chlorine-bearing gas in the Earth's troposphere and a significant contributor to the organic chlorine budget. Measurements by in situ networks indicate a mean volume mixing ratio of 550 pptv, with a significant seasonal cycle of about 80 pptv, peak to peak. This species also exhibits inter-annual variability, but no long-term trend. Major sources are from tropical and sub-tropical plants and dead leaves, the oceans and biomass burning. Some industrial processes and waste incineration further add to the emissions. Oxidation by the hydroxyl radical is by far the largest CH3Cl sink, followed by soil uptake. Although balanced, its atmospheric budget is still affected by large uncertainties and contributions from unidentified sources and sinks cannot be ruled out. Methyl chloride has an atmospheric lifetime of 1 year, a global warming potential of 13 (100-yr horizon) and an ozone depleting potential of 0.02. The retrieval of methyl chloride from ground-based infrared (IR) spectra is very challenging. Indeed, numerous interferences by strong water vapor and methane lines complicate the detection of small CH3Cl absorptions, close to 1%, near 3 microns. In addition, and although weak, ethane features contribute to the difficulty, in particular since a significant number of ethane branches were absent until very recently from official HITRAN compilations. Therefore, the scientific literature does not report thus far about any investigations of CH3Cl from ground-based remote sensing observations. In this contribution, we will present first CH3Cl total column retrievals, using the SFIT-2 algorithm (v3.94) and high-resolution Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) solar absorption observations recorded with a Bruker 120HR instrument, at the high altitude station of the Jungfraujoch (46.5°N, 8°E, 3580 m asl), within the framework of the Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change (NDACC, visit http://www.ndacc.org). In our retrievals, we use new ethane absorption cross sections recorded at the Molecular Spectroscopy Facility of the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (Harrison et al., 2010). They were calibrated in intensity by using reference low-resolution spectra from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) IR database. These new cross sections were recently released as a HITRAN update (see http://www.hitran.com). Pseudoline parameters fitted to these ethane spectra have been combined with HITRAN 2004 line parameters (including all the 2006 updates) for all other species encompassed in the selected microwindows, including our target CH3Cl. We will evaluate the improvement brought by the new ethane line parameters on the fitting residuals, and characterize the quality, the precision and the reliability of the retrieved product. If successful, a long-term CH3Cl total column time series will be produced using the Jungfraujoch observational database, and we will perform preliminary investigations of the seasonal and inter-annual variations of methyl chloride total columns at northern mid-latitudes.

Discussion in 'Steelhead' started by Jason Decker, Oct 14, 2005.
If I remember correctly it seems Lani Waller had a decent video out on Steelheading
:ray1: I've read that article a dozen times...... no fish yet.....
To that point, steelheading is an endeavor that is obviously not numbers or results driven. In that regard, the quest can be frustrating and as a result it is not for everybody. There are plenty of very accomplished fly fishermen in this region who choose to focus on trout, despite the prevalence of rivers with steelhead in them.
there is a reason that are commonly referred to as "the fish of a thousand casts" (in a good year).
anyone who catches their first steelhead on a fly within only a year of trying had it way to easy. two to three years is much more common.
don't mean to discourage you. stick with it. but you just need to be aware of the endevour that you have initiated.
Jason don't fret. I too am a beginner in the realm of Steelies. I also believe fully in knowing thy enemy. Info Info Info. Then practice practice practice. I have read these posts with baited breath hoping to glean that silver bullet, find that holy grail of books the Necranomicon if you will. I will be checking out the above mentioned books and reading them from cover to cover. I am also going to be taking a guided trip with Bob Trigg and one with Steve this winter. Again thanks guys for the insights.
John Hicks
Read all the material that you can get your hands on. I have done that for the last thirty years, and I never tire of it. However, it all amounts to nothing if you don't put in the hours on the river. Watch where others are catching fish ask them questions, note their methods. It's all part of the dues paying process. Use established methods until you start catching fish--then, when you are good enough you can experiment with different stuff. Remember above all, Steeheaders thrive on rejection.
Porter is right about the 3M Lani Waller videos. If you can find one, you are in for a treat. He is a master at catching steelies. Unfortunetly they are out of print and only come in VHS. Also Tom is right about catching your first steelie nymphing. My first couple came while nymphing for trout on a local river. It is defenitely worth a try now that it is time for the omelet hatch. :thumb:
I shoulda' saved that essay I wrote . . .
Take comfort in that you're not the first. This question used to come up fairly often on the old Virtual Fly Shop BB that expired a few years back. (Is it OK to mention a former website that isn't competing cuz it no longer exists?) I wrote a long winded response to aspiring steelheaders there, and like a fool didn't save it.
I began fly fishing for steelhead before there were any how to books, but I've bought and read most of them subsequently. And there were no fly fishing steelhead guides then, either, and I'd highly recommend that approach to steepening your learning curve.
In response to one poster, I mentioned that probably the number one variable in making a difference in learning how to catch a steelhead is to find a mentor who already knows his stuff. The guy actually emailed me and asked when we were going. So on a lark, I told him to meet me on the Skagit one day, and we took a short float, and he caught a steelhead, which thankfully made me appear smarter than I am.
Along with others, I recommend Deke Meyer's book. Another pretty good basic reference is Bill McMillan's Dry Line Steelhead. Also the Lani Waller videos mentioned.
Now, here's the dirt that most authorities either don't mention, or don't stress enough:
Steelhead are easy to catch. The basics are dead simple, the wet fly swing, skating a dry, or nymphing (with indicator, altho I've never caught one that way). As an angler who is trying to become a competent trout angler, let me say that steelhead are dead simple, compared to trout fishing.
If you want to fish for steelhead, fish where steelhead are. That's one of the biggest secrets. Most steelhead fishing is done where there are no steelhead at the time they are being angled for, which is why they seem so darn hard to catch.
How do you know where the steelhead are? Tain't that hard in this day and age of the internet. It's October. There are summer steelhead in every river that supports summer runs. OK, where are they? On west side rivers, they are mostly hatcher fish that are returning to their respective blood holes. Get out and find where these are by talking to the other fishermen that are on those rivers. As mentioned in this thread, Snoq fish will be staging near Tokul Creek. I've never fished the Snoq, but if I did, with no other information sources, I'd probably be in that vicinity within 2 or 3 hours of arrival. How? Why? Refer to above paragraph: fish where the steelhead are. Somebody already knows. Ask them. Or figure out where the blood holes are. They're called blood holes for a reason, and they are excellent places for beginners.
How do you find the "good" steelhead holes? I wouldn't spill this bean, except it's been spilt before, so here goes: a majority of the angler vehicles will be parked within 1/4 mile of the majority of the best steelhead hole on any river. Learn to recognize angler rigs, altho that salmon fisherman driving a Jag coulda' fooled me, except for the giant cooler in his back seat. Drive around, and turn in to every side road, dead end, driveway, whatever, expecting 90% of them to be false leads, but do it anyway.
Cover lots of water. Floating rivers is a good approach. Here is a good way to cover lots of water in a day that is fundamentally different from trout fishing: Never, and I mean never make two casts to the same spot unless you have risen a steelhead or know for an absolute fact that your cast is covering a steelhead. Your next cast should be 5' to 15' downstream of your last cast. Books instruct you to cover each pool thoroughly, but differ as to what thorough means. Some of the best anglers I know fish so darn fast, it almost seems like they are running through the pool. They aren't. And they mostly leave the non-aggressive, non-taking steelhead that aren't the best candidates for a beginning angler anyway. Plan on wearing the felts right off your boots. Soon.
Did I mention that most steelhead fishing casts are made over water that doesn't hold any steelhead? That's why you don't want to waste too much time making too many casts over that empty water. Move your butt, and move it faster. It will get you fishing where the steelhead are that much sooner.
Naturally there's more to steelheading than this. But not much. The fly pattern you use almost matters, but not much. I caught the largest steelhead of my lifetime on a red fly I'd picked up on a gravel bar the year before and stuck in my fly book. Although dry fly fishing can be very productive, the wet fly swing will produce more hookups day in and day out. Use a sink tip. If you're always hanging up, use a shorter one or a slower sinking one. If you never hang up, well . . . think about it! The dirtier the water, the bigger and more visible your target oughta' be. Small flies often work better in clear water, etc. But change ups are a good idea, too.
The single most important article for a steelheader is his waders. Cheap rods and cheap reels and cheap lines catch steelhead just fine. But if you cannot wade into position to decently present your fly to a steelhead, you might as well stay home and out of my way in case I go fishing that day.
I probably left out something useful. If it comes to me later, I'll add it.
Salmo g.
Don't do it! Don't fish for steelhead! They are a myth perpetuated by fishing guides and tackle salesmen! They do not exist! Repeat; steelhead do not exist! Say to yourself at least a hundred times; steelhead are a myth, there are no steelhead.
Now with the warning out of the way. Salmo's suggestions are right on. There is nothing mysterious about fishing for steelhead. It is all about the water. Reading water. If you know where to fish for steelhead you will catch steelhead. How to learn to read water is all about spending time on the water. The more time spent the better your chances are of hooking up. When you finally hook one make sure you note everything there is to know about the water you hooked it in. Speed, depth, structure, water temp, position of the sun, river flow, time of year, day, month, everything. If the river is running high come back to that spot when the river is low to see what the bottom makeup is. The more information you have about where you are fishing the better. Are flies important? Sure. Is presentation important? Yes. But, the coolest fly with the best presentation will get you nothing in water that holds no fish.
To shorted your learning curve on the water find some folks that fish for steelhead and have had some success. Hang with them. Bug them to take you fishing. Ask questions. Buy them breakfast, lunch, dinner, gas, beer, cigars, scotch, whatever it takes to get them to let you tag along. Watch where they fish and ask questions. After a time you will start to learn the water and I am confident that at some point you will find that first steelhead. After you land that first fish I want you to think back to my first paragraph here because after that first steelhead you will be forever lost to trying to repeat the thrill of the first.
Great post Salmo. I also would like to add good boots to your most important peace of gear. Studs are not a bad idea either.
look for walking speed water and cast to other side were the curent changes speed. Look for large rock beds and walls. They will hold up there.
I've caught steelhead in tailouts, where on first glance it appeared there was not structure to break the current. I've caught them in the middle of a hole in water that was barely moving. I've caught them in riffles. I've caught them in boulder studded runs with a considerably faster than walking speed current. I've caught them in the throat of a hole where the water is rather fast. I've caught them in smooth glides. I've caught them in water barely able to cover their backs. I've caught them in deep water. I've caught them in ledge rock slots. I've caught them in walking speed water. I'e caught them tight against log jams.
In short, there is no magic water that steelhead will always be found. As Salmo mentioned, you catch steelhead where they are located, and the only way to really find out where they are is to get out and spend a lot of time walking a river. And cover a lot of water. After a few years, you will start walking right past water that many would wonder why you are not wetting a line in because you have learned some of the subtleties of water reading.
A good friend of mine was very surpirised and a bit miffed 12 years ago when I took him summer steelheading with me on an OP river in October because I kept walking past many runs and holes. He was getting miffed because to him I was passing up prime water of the type that he had caught trout in many times, and I kept telling him it was worthless for steelhead at that time of year. Three years later when we were fishing a different OP river in March, he mentioned that he understood why I had walked by all that water which seemed to be prime holding water to him because he had found not all runs or holes in a river hold steelhead.
There is a lot of info on catching steelhead and steelhead techniques in Trey's book STEELHEAD FLYFISHING (in fact, a lot more than Deke Meyer's ADVCANCED FLY FISHING FOR STEELHEAD); but he doesn't make it obvious by saying something like, "this is how to get a fly on a greased line fly", or "this is how to skate up a steelhead on a dry", etc. Even within the chapters on specific rivers or steelhead fly fishers, there is a lot of info on how to fly fish for them; but like I said, it is not obvious and you have to look for it because Trey just intersperses it within his prose.
I have every book you can buy on steelheading and some you can't. All they are for is passing the time when you can't fish. Salmo G, Kerry and a few others have narrowed it down for you pretty good. Three plus years I've been stuck in steelhead heaven. 120 times a year, I'm out on the river. Two fish to hand and 10 LDR'd (Long Distance Released). And by LDR'd, I don't mean bumps, hits or thwacks. LDR's for me are hard takes with swirls of water, they come out of the water or the familiar tug, tug, tug of fish on and then they come unbuttoned. Once they are off, you're standing there with warm pee running down the inside of you waders, knowing full well that was a damn steelhead.
Those are good numbers for anyone who has fished for steelhead. If you don't wear out your 150 dollar felt soled boots in a year, you are not covering enough ground. Float your rivers at least once to actually see what is in the water. Bowling ball rocks with fast paced water will hold steelhead. On the Sky, That is only about 5% of the water between Everett and Deception falls. Blow off the rest of it. Fish only water that holds fish. Presentation, presentation, presentation. No slack or large bellies of line between you and the fly on the swing. I'm just as ready to set a hook an hour after I've had one on or a thousand hours after I've had one on. Find holding water (2 years), learn to get hits, learn to keep them on (another two years) and then learn to tail them at your feet (ongoing). Right place, right time will take on a whole new meaning in your life.
Also if you really want to get into fish. Don't fish with the Old Man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These shocks were perfect for my 1984 Sportster. It lowered it about 2 inches. They were very easy to install.
Highest Quality in Parts, description, directions to install kit was complete, as always. Thank You
looks great, really happy with them
Great product that bolted right on as promised. Shipping to Canada was unexpectedly quick, literally 4 days. Very happy customer.
fit great,,,
These shocks look amazing on my 03 sportster. It allows the fender to sit closer to the wheel giving the bike an awesome look. And they are adjustable so you can dial in a comfortable ride. Installation took less then 30 min and was super simple.
Good quality and am very satisfied with my order and the quick delivery time.
Looks awesome and really easy to install.
They are great, bike doesnt bottom out like I expected it to and actually they are much softer which to me dampens better than stock had up to 350 lbs on my 1200 sportster no problem great buy looks sweet
These are amazing and very easy to install. It took me about 10 minutes and it made my 1200 roadster look amazing. It even rides a lot smoother too.
Awesome product and speedy delivery. I will continue to order from J&P for all my parts.
exactly what i need for my seventy two. Awesome
Exactly as described in the description. Thanks so much, you guys rock!
Great shocks give a comfortable low ride.
no rub and amazing ride. Awesome
They were the perfect fit for what I needed.
My bike is slammed.
Going from stock 13 inch shocks to a 10 1/2 inches makes such a difference when you are only 5 foot tall. Should have done this for my Low Rider long ago.
gGreat shocks, lowered my bike by about 2 inches. Had to buy longer bolts to install, the stock bolts were 1/2 inch short.
The Slammer Shocks look like they came on my Switchback! I can sit with my feet firmly on the ground. And she hugs the corners better than she did before! I love it!
Great, lowered the bike 1". Arrived in great condition
Great purchase! JP customer`s service was awesome and shipping and delivery time was impressive. TKS!
Great purchase! JP customer`s service was awesome and shipping and delivery time was impressive. TKS!
Since I am only 5' 8" I was always on my toes sitting on my 2002 Road King. Now I have much more control. As a bonus my bike handles better.
The shocks arrived on schedule and fit as designed.
Easy to install and put the bike right where I needed it
They slammed the bike down nice,but after 2,000 miles I'm starting to bottom out now and I have shocks set all the way stiff.I only weigh 130.back to looking for a new set of shocks.
These are awesome shocks!..my lowrider is a "true" lowrider since installing these puppies!
looks good on fxdwg but to low for corners
Excellent, Did what I needed, Lower my 2013 Switchback. Just remember to order the kick stand to go with it. http://www.jpcycles.com/product/223-079 Never even noticed a difference in the ride.
Fast shipment and easy install!!!
A friend of mine gave me a set in the past for my Sportster, and I loved them, so this was a no-brainer for my Dyna!!!!
fit great, rides good...a lil stiff, but thats ok!!!
They were 2.5 inches shorter than my OEM Road King shocks. My ground handling is much better now, but my ride is harsh compared to OEM.
love the way it rides even with a passenger
Makes the bike look real good sitting all low and mean looking. Makes the ride a little stiff, but that's ok.
Great, dropped my Road King down nicely.
Could not see getting any lower then what these provide. Rough winter has prevented test ride but can be sure it will ride like a rigid.
They went on easy, instant satisfaction, super slammed and just what a person wants. Great quality parts.
Easy to order,great fit and very easy to install
I put these my 2011 street glide and lowered forks 1inch lowered real nice harder ride then stock needed a new kickstand 1inch lowered if I was younger I would not change anything
Delivered in 2 days, again JP exceeded my expectations. installed on 2014 Street Glide Special, instructions and install were perfect. Lowered rear approx. 1-1.5" which was what I was looking for.
Couldnt use with small lowering brackets already installed so I returned.
Super easy to install. Slammed the tail down just what I was looking. The ride is only slightly rougher, but really grow some, it's not stock.
Great buy for the money and I rode from Orlando to Miami and back up to Leesburg bike fest. Great ride no issues bike looks great. Recommend to those who are on a budget.
Great but didn't fit.
I put them on my 08 Roadking. It lowered my scooter as advertised but now I can feel the road a lot more then the OEM shocks.

When Dwight Yoakam's in town, f*cked up sh*t's gonna go down.
"Distance" picks up shortly after the ending of last week's fantastic episode, with Ryan learning that it was Kristen, not him, who made the drawing that's haunted him for months. To learn more about its origins, Ryan visits Bruce (Yoakam), a returning figment of his messed-up consciousness, which, naturally, results in a Community-esque game of crazy escalations, both real and staged. (If only Ryan had a time hoodie.)
Suicides were faked, dog balls were eaten, and dicks were punched, all used as misleading distractions by Ryan to delay the inevitable reveal of what's really "wrong" with him. Finding a new clue — some sort of symbol hidden beneath a blue house on Kristen's drawing — certainly isn't doing him any favors, but as long as Yoakam's occasionally there for the (non-rapey) ride, I will, too. As for this week's W(TF)ilfred moment: obviously.

New Action Title Revealed: Scivelation
Well, I know some of you out there aren't big fans of FPSs, but this here is a game that uses the Unreal Engine III and isn't played from the first-person view. Nope, Scivelation is a third-person shooter that kinda reminds us of Dead Space.
As revealed by BigDownload, Topware Interactive has revealed this new action title, which was developed by Black Wing Foundation and set for release on the PC "and other platforms" towards the middle of next year. Details are sparse for the time being but we do know the game will boast a futuristic sci-fi setting, where the oppressive "Regime" government is running amok. But, similar to the Red Faction franchise (see how I'm giving you familiar names to help out?), a rebellion has sprung up and the main character is in charge. The press release described Scivelation as providing gamers with an "unrelenting interactive experience;" the key word there is "unrelenting." See, while we've all heard of this storyline before, we could always use an adventure that grabs us from the outset and never lets go. And besides, who wouldn't want an awesome blend of Dead Space and Red Faction? Of course, I'm only guessing with these analogies, but I prefer to be optimistic when it comes to new titles.
We'll keep an eye out for more info concerning Scivelation, which we assume is pronounced exactly as it's written. Er...maybe.

This is the first craft i have posted in years but it was so awesomei had to share it with everyone. I made this for my husband for his birthday and am completly in eat with it. Materials used were all things i had in my stash like electrical tape an old embroidery hoop, wires and beads and some jewlery i bought for a hallween costume.
I went for a darker feel with this project and wanted something not typical. I made a mini Conventional dream cathcher and a tree of life to look like a willow his fav tree. All in all this is one of my favorite projects and am thinking about making another as i learned so much from this one. Thanks for looking.

Toy company executive Curt Stoelting is flying halfway around the world to answer one question that may be on the minds of many American parents as the holiday season approaches.
Are the toys his company makes in China safe?
His company, Chicago-based RC2, was forced to make the first of many recalls of toys that had been tainted with lead-based paint this year. Stoelting knows that if he cannot answer yes to the above question, his half-billion-dollar business selling toys for infants and preschoolers is at risk.
"I want to come see it with my own eyes," Stoelting said of toy production in China.
ABC News' David Kerley joined Stoelting as he visited the Chinese factories, where blocks of wood become his Thomas and Friends wooden trains that are destined for the shelves of U.S. toy stores in time for the holidays.
Inexcusable Mistakes
"There never should have been high levels of lead in the paint they use," Stoelting said. "So our belief is that corners were cut."
Now his company, and many others in China, are creating new safety systems in an attempt to keep their toys safe.
Before the recalls, RC2 tested paint before it went on toys only once a year. "We had a process we thought was adequate to make sure that it wasn't a problem for us. And I think we took that process for granted," he said. "We have 20/20 hindsight on that now."
Safer Standards
When paint arrives at the RC2 factory, it is now set aside, gets a yellow label and some of it is sent out for testing. The paint will get a green label only if those tests prove it is completely free of lead, so that it's clear to workers in the factory which paint containers are tested and safe for production.
The factory is also taking the extra step of putting date codes on finished toys so they can be traced back to production. RC2 also uses high-tech X-ray guns on the toys, which can detect more than half a dozen heavy metals, including lead.
With all of this testing, can Stoelting guarantee American consumers that RC2's toys are completely free of lead?
"I can never make a guarantee like that, but we will not compromise toy safety for anything," he said. "Because we won't be in business long-term if we do that."

Karzai and Sharif Taliban talks bid
Afghanistan's president has urged neighbouring Pakistan to help peace talks with the Taliban, but hopes were low in both countries that much progress would be made.
Pakistan is seen as key to the process because of its strong historical ties with the Taliban. But Pakistan and Afghanistan have long had troubled relations and view each other with suspicion, especially with Kabul repeatedly accusing Islamabad of providing sanctuary for the insurgents.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai was visiting Pakistan for the first time since Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif took office in June. Mr Karzai told Mr Sharif he expects the Pakistani government to "facilitate and help" talks between the Afghan High Peace Council and the Taliban.
Earlier the Afghan president described his expectations for progress during the visit, saying, "I am not confident, but I am hopeful." He indicated that previous visits to Pakistan had not helped improve security in Afghanistan, but "we must continue our efforts."
Mr Karzai's visit comes after an attempt to jump start peace talks in the Qatari capital of Doha foundered in June. The Afghan president pulled the plug on the talks even before they began because he was angered that the group marked the opening of its Doha political office with the flag, anthem and symbols of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan - the group's name when they ruled the country.
The Taliban have held secret talks with Mr Karzai's representatives to try to restart the peace process, but it is unclear if they have made any headway.
Pakistan released over two dozen Taliban prisoners at the end of last year and early this year in an attempt to facilitate the peace process - complying, at least partially, with a long standing demand by Kabul.
But the prisoner release ended up causing friction with Kabul - and Washington - which were both frustrated that Pakistan was not monitoring the whereabouts and activities of the former inmates. They were worried the prisoners may simply rejoin the insurgency.
Also, Pakistan has not yet agreed to release its most important Taliban prisoner, Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, the insurgent group's former deputy commander.
Pakistan helped the Taliban seize control of Afghanistan in 1996, and many insurgents fled across the border following the invasion in 2001. Islamabad is widely believed to have maintained its ties to the Taliban, despite official denials.

Today marks the go live of the second Topps product in as many weeks, even though this one seems to be a little more like what we have already seen from existing sets. Bowman Sterling has always been on my naughty list, mainly because of what you get for the enormous price tag on the box, and for the most part, that still hasnt changed.
The design for Sterling this year is standard for the product, and not really something that gets me excited to run and buy. The real factor of this product is that there are game photos with autographs for some of the cards, and the first appearance of players like Josh Gordon, Alfred Morris, Harrison Smith, etc, in Topps products.
This is really a set for people that have a lot of money to burn, or singles buyers for the guys who have updated photos for the first time with an autograph.
There really isnt much more to say, if only there were on card autos to really make this product worth a portion of the MSRP.
Here are some major cards already posted:
2012 Bowman Sterling Quad Auto Patch – Luck, Griffin, Tannehill and Weeden
2012 Bowman Sterling Quad Auto Book – RGIII, Richardson, Blackmon and Tannehill
2012 Bowman Sterling Luke Kuechly Auto Patch Superfractor 1/1
2012 Bowman Sterling Robert Griffin III Jumbo Patch Gold Refractor
2012 Bowman Sterling Robert Griffin III Auto Patch Gold Refractor
2012 Bowman Sterling Alfred Morris Auto

Though the New York Giants have the reputation of perennial contenders after winning two of the last six Super Bowls, they've quietly missed the playoffs in three of the last four seasons.
Even so, a championship is still the goal for Big Blue. When GM Jerry Reese called in to talk on the Morning Show, he confirmed that his organization is gunning for the Lombardi Trophy.
"It's everybody's expectations," Reese explains to Tiki, Brandon, and Dana. "This is a high-performance business. We set our standards high around here."
"The whole 'everybody's on notice,' the notice is—most people say 'Wow, Jerry Reese's telling people they're going to get fired.' That's not it," he adds. "It's inevitable that people get fired if you don't make the playoffs. But the notice I'm talking about is, we have to be more consistent."
One unit Reese specifically keys on is the linebacker corps. The Giants need the guys at the second level to bolster a defense that struggled to keep points off the board last season, though it's unclear which LBs will be up for the task.
"It'd be great if we had Lawrence Taylor and Jesse Armstead and all those kind of guys, but the fact of the matter is, we don't have those guys right now. We don't know what we have. So hopefully some of those guys will step out of the shadows," the GM says, though he emphasizes that this anonymity is not a concern for him.
"And I always hit them with this: who were the starters in Super Bowl XLII? Who were the starters at linebacker?" Reese asks. "They have to think about it."
Indeed, none of the hosts—even Tiki, who was just a year removed from that Giants team—could name all three linebackers from the 2008 Super Bowl, while New York didn't even regularly play that many in Super Bowl XLVI.
"I wish we had three stud linebackers, but we don't know what we have right now. We might have three stud linebackers; we don't know, the jury's still out on that. But that position has to step up."
Another position to watch is running back, as New York opted not to re-sign Ahmad Bradshaw this offseason. That leaves the door open for 2012 first-round pick David Wilson to take over, but Reese sees it as a committee with another under-the-radar back.
"Andre Brown is a guy I think people are sleeping on a little bit because this guy's big and fast. He was really playing well for us until you have the injuries. That's been his Achilles heel; you have the injury bug his whole career," the GM says.
"That is a big issue, injuries all around the National Football League, but as a GM, if you sit and think about it, holding my breath, you'll be a basket case because injuries are a part of it. It's inevitable that injuries happen."
That's yet another reason why it's so important to win your early games in the NFL—execute while all your pieces are presumably in good condition.
Though Jason Pierre-Paul is questionable for Week 1, Reese confirms that the team is looking to get ahead in the standings early.
"You always want to start fast," he says, before qualifying, "Again, you want to be consistent throughout the schedule,"
"There's different ways to get to the finish line, but you always want to start strong and try to sustain it throughout the season."Comments

You guys. It was perfect.
When something is in the works for a while, there are expectations. There are hopes. There are plans. When that something is a wedding, it's an even bigger deal. We had been looking forward to this weekend for 18 months. For a year and a half, we've been talking about it and looking forward to it.
It lived up to all our expectations. It was amazing. It was emotional. And it was so FUN!!!
Gerrick was GLOWING. Daniel had a smile on his face for four days straight. Everyone - from college pals to Memphis childhood friends to the camp crew to family and parents - was in such a good mood the entire weekend. We were there to celebrate two of the best people on earth - what was there NOT to smile about!?
Yours truly over here cried the ENTIRE WEEKEND. I'm not kidding. I got there Wednesday night and the tears started Thursday at her final dress fitting. I then proceeded to cry during the bridal luncheon, during the rehearsal, during the open house dinner, during the rehearsal dinner, during my entire speech, during everyone ELSE's speeches, and don't even get me started on the day of the wedding. I cried while we were all getting ready, when she put on her dress, when her mom blessed her and all of us in the room, during the ketubah signing, all the way down the aisle (what a great bridesmaid, right?), as SHE walked down the aisle, during the entire ceremony, back up the aisle, and into the cocktail hour. I WAS SO HAPPY. I'm not even kidding, I'm tearing up just writing this. Also, everytime we've spoken on the phone since then I've cried also. I'M EMOTIONAL, WHAT CAN I SAY?!
Words won't do it justice, so pictures will have to do. Get ready for an onslaught - I took more than 300 pictures in four days!!!
First up: most of the bridal party at the bridal luncheon at Neiman Marcus on Friday afternoon
The happy couple posing with their Bride & Groom beer kozies!
My cute boy and I at the BBQ Open House Dinner Friday night
Bridesmaiding it up!
Total framer - me and Jul matching in seafoam :)
Gerrick is glowing from happiness. I am glowing from a spray tan :)
We spent Saturday lounging, having lunch, walking around the Dallas Galleria mall, laying by the pool, and relaxing. And Saturday night the Conroys hosted a beautiful rehearsal dinner complete with a photo slideshow and a million speeches dedicated to the bride and groom! As I mentioned above, I cried through most of my speech, which you read last week. Don't worry, I cried through everyone else's speeches too :)
I had planned on wearing that colorful chiffon dress but that day in the mall I came across this electric pink sundress from H&M and couldn't say no!
The L.A. crew :)
My OTHER best friend named Gerrick :) Jessica! Gerrick's sister is getting married in October and is seriously my new favorite person on earth. If you need a wedding coordinator she's seriously your girl - even though she's a nurse!
My best pals :)
Jacob. The best.
I was like in a dream the day of the wedding. After hair and makeup we snuck down to see the room being set up - and yes, the bachelorette shirts made a comeback!
Bridesmaids looking good! (Note to anyone engaged or looking for bridesmaid dresses: I wasn't the hugest fan of this dress in the beginning but I am now. Comes in a million colors, flattering on anyone, tight and flowy at the same time, easy to dance in - I recommend it!)
Posing, as always :) Look at my pretty summer bouquet!
Finally putting on her dress. Cue the tears.
Opening her gift from Daniel - a beautiful strand of pearls. This is AFTER she put on her "something borrowed" - Daniel's late grandmother's necklace. Trust me, everyone in the room was crying.
Bracha took this great shot of us posing for the photographer!
Here comes the bride! Yes, I was weeping from the front.
Do I not look totally dazed and overwhelmed up there? Cuz I was.
You may now kiss the bride!!!!
During the cocktail hour - Ram looks so handsome in his suit!
Beckles, this one is for you :) the famous bridal portrait shot!
After we had all headed into the reception room, the new couple was announced! They headed to the center of the dance floor for their first dance and swayed happily for about a minute... then all of a sudden, the record stopped and they BROKE OUT IN A FULL FIVE MINUTE CHOREOGRAPHED DANCE ROUTINE. I shit you not, I could not stop screaming. I have talked to Gerrick approximately five times a day every single day since she got married and she KEPT THIS A SECRET THE WHOLE TIME!!!!!! I can say nothing except WATCH THE VIDEO. It's amazing!!!
An impromptu conga line turned into this great shot!
Dancing with my Jake :) he has mooooooooves!
Cutting the cake!!!
When the wedding was over, Gerrick (Gerrick C!!!) called for everyone to go downstairs to the hospitality suite for the after-party and everyone obliged. My friends were the first to head down there and when we opened the door, we were in for a HUGE surprise - they had surprised us with boxes and boxes of In & Out burgers! The boys were so happy they were fainting!
Not gonna lie - I killed it with a burger. Or two. Hey, I was dancing up a storm! :)
And now it's over. A week ago last night I watched my best friend become a Mrs! I can't believe how fast it went by. I still can't believe it happened.
To the new Mr. and Mrs. Conroy, I love you both more than anything and I was so honored to share in your special day - and special weekend - with you both! To a million more happy occasions together!!!

O'Brien to take Texans' job
Penn State coach returning to NFL ranks; Lovie Smith set to become coach of Tampa Bay
Published 11:04 pm, Wednesday, January 1, 2014
Bill O'Brien worked closely with Tom Brady when he was a Patriots assistant.
He's now set to return to the NFL to coach Houston, and he's a long way from Brady. The Texans have the No. 1 draft pick, and O'Brien might well find himself having to groom a rookie quarterback.
Two people familiar with the negotiations, speaking to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because an official announcement hadn't been made, said Tuesday night that O'Brien reached an agreement to coach the Texans. He is expected to be introduced Thursday.
He inherits a team filled with talent, but whose biggest problem is at quarterback. Veteran Matt Schaub, Houston's starter since 2007, was benched after six games. Case Keenum took over after that, but his lack of success showed he wasn't the answer either, and the team finished on a 14-game skid.
A number of talented quarterbacks could be available in May's draft. Louisville's Teddy Bridgewater, 2012 Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M, and Fresno State's Derek Carr, younger brother of Houston's first-ever draft pick, David Carr, are among the top-rated quarterbacks expected to be in the draft.
O'Brien spent 2007-12 as offensive assistant under Bill Belichick at New England. O'Brien was the team's quarterbacks coach from 2009-11, and Brady threw for 5,235 yards and 39 touchdowns in the 2011 regular season, when the Patriots went to the Super Bowl.
But his success with quarterbacks didn't begin or end with Brady.
In 2001 he was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Georgia Tech and worked with George Godsey. Godsey broke school records for yards passing (3,085) and completions (249) and led the ACC with 257.1 yards passing a game.
His success in grooming quarterbacks continued at Penn State in 2012. Under O'Brien's tutelage, senior Matt McGloin made remarkable improvement. He led the Big 10 in yards passing (3,271), completions (270) and touchdown passes (24). McGloin increased his completion percentage from 54.1 to 60.5 percent from 2011 to 2012.
McGloin won the Burlsworth Trophy as the nation's best player who began his career as a walk-on, and signed with the Raiders, for whom he started six games in 2013.
O'Brien will become the third coach in Texans history, following Dom Capers, who led the team from its expansion season in 2002, and Gary Kubiak.
Buccaneers: A person familiar with the negotiations says former Chicago coach Lovie Smith has reached an agreement to coach Tampa Bay. Speaking to The Associated Press on Wednesday night on the condition of anonymity because an official announcement hasn't been made, the person also says former Minnesota coach Leslie Frazier will be the Buccaneers' defensive coordinator. The 55-year-old Smith will replace Greg Schiano, fired Monday after going 4-12 this season and 11-21 in two years with the team. Frazier also was fired Monday.
Chiefs: Wide receiver Dwayne Bowe was cleared to play in Saturday's wild-card playoff game against Indianapolis after sustaining a concussion, though the status of linebacker Tamba Hali (swelling in knee) and right tackle Eric Fisher (groin injury) remains uncertain.

A Los Angeles Department of Water and Power employee found dead at the Haynes Generating Station early Saturday morning was identified Sunday as 60 year-old Vincent Martinez. Martinez was discovered at around 1:30AM Saturday morning in an area of the plant away from construction, said Joseph Ramallo of the LADWP. An autopsy is pending to determine cause of death.
Haynes is a natural gas steam power plant that is undergoing major rennovations to eliminate the use of ocean water to cool the plant and abide by current environmental code. It was generating electricity this week, Ramallo said.
"This is a tragic loss and tragedy for our employee's family and our entire LADWP family," said Aram Benyamin, the plant's senior assistant general manager. "Our hearts go out to the family, friends and co-workers of our
Martinez's death at Haynes came days after a ruptured pipe at the adjacent AES' Alamitos steam power plant shot a plume of steam into the sky for about 45 minutes. The two plants are similar in operations and reside next to one another on Studebaker Road, but are not affiliated.

Liberalized Tax Breaks for Taxpayers
How 2008 capital expenditures become a bit less taxing.
July 31, 2008
by Blake Christian, CPA/MBT
Two significant changes in the way taxpayers report expenditures and depreciate fixed assets will be witnessed in taxable year 2008. The Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service have Proposed Regulations and adopted other statutory changes that clarify the treatment of expenditures and address the common concern of taxpayers, whether routine maintenance and repair costs can be deducted as a period cost (versus capitalized as a product cost).The new Proposed Regulations intend to expand on areas in which the prior 2006 Proposed Regulations were vague with respect to the types of expenditures that can be expensed in the year they were incurred. Furthermore, as part of the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008, many smaller businesses will be able to benefit through two kinds of tax invectives: i) the bonus depreciation and ii) the increase of the Section 179 expense allowance.
Following is an overview of the significant updates that will offer taxpayers liberalized tax breaks for 2008 and beyond:
Repair and Maintenance Costs
A taxpayer is generally required to capitalize his or her costs of purchasing or producing fixed assets if the costs improve a unit of property.
The Proposed Regulations (Prop. Reg. Section 1.263(a)-3(d)(1)) provide three specific criteria for determining whether fixed asset costs should be expensed as repairs or capitalized. An expense must be capitalized if it results in any of the following:
Even though the Proposed Regulations do not entirely change the general structure of the 2006 Proposed Regulations, they now apply general standards on how the above tests should be applied, as well as helpful "bright-line" tests, safe harbors and illustrative examples. In addition, the 2008 Proposed Regulations provide further guidance on determining the "unit of property" and identifying assets that should be accounted for as materials or supplies.
Unit of Property
A Unit of Property (Prop. Reg. Section 1.263(a)-3(d)(2)) is critical in analyzing whether the cumulative costs incurred must be capitalized or can be expensed during the current period. The Proposed Regulations generally treat all components that are functionally interdependent as a single unit of property. However, a building and its structural components are always treated as a single unit of property. Functionally interdependent machinery and equipment will not be treated as a single unit of property unless they are part of a group that performs a discrete and major function or operation.
A taxpayer who has assigned different economic useful lives to asset components for financial statement purposes or uses different depreciation method for the components, may not treat those components as a single unit of property. In addition, an improvement to a unit of property will not necessarily be considered a separate unit of property, even if it is separately depreciable.
In addition, the rules for "network assets" (i.e. railroad tracks, oil and gas pipelines, telephone and cable lines, etc.) remain the same as the 2006 Proposed Regulations. The Treasury and IRS believe that proper approach for these types of integrated assets should be determined on an industry-by-industry basis.
Materials and Supplies
The 2006 Proposed Regulations did not fully address rules for the tax treatment of "materials and supplies." Under the current law, taxpayers may generally expense amounts related to tangible materials and supplies that are actually consumed or otherwise used within a taxable year. The problem with the previous Proposed Regulations was that it failed to identify assets with a useful life of 12 months or less as materials or supplies. The 2008 Proposed Regulations provide better guidance on how to distinguish fixed assets from supplies. Under the new Proposed Regulations, a material and supply is tangible property that is:
In addition, the new Proposed Regulations maintain the current position that the 12-month (useful life) period begins at the time the item is first used or consumed — and not before — even though the asset may be ready and available for use.
Transaction Costs
Current tax law provides rules for the capitalization of costs paid to acquire or produce property. However, a partial exception applies, allowing deduction for costs incurred during the period prior to making the decision to acquire a specific piece of depreciable real property. The rule poses potential problems since this exception is limited to only real property and is yet to provide guidance on how to allocate expenses incurred in acquiring assets other than real property. For example if a taxpayer incurs costs in evaluating the purchase of a group of assets including both real property, personal property, intangible assets and/or non-depreciable assets, such as land, there continues to be no clear statutory or regulatory guidance as to how the aggregate costs should be expensed vs. capitalized. There is, however, fact-specific case law which can be useful in evaluating the possible tax treatment — until further regulatory guidance is issued.
Repair Allowance Eliminated
The 2006 Proposed Regulations contained a proposal for a repair allowance which would allow maintenance expenditures to be deductible, up to a limit based on a percentage of the property's average basis. Theses rules did not contain any guidelines for specific industries. Any costs incurred in excess of the aforementioned maintenance expense calculation would then be capitalized as a new depreciable asset. The 2008 Proposed Regulations eliminates the Repair Allowance and provides authority to the IRS for issuing industry-specific repair allowance guidance at a future date.
Safe Harbors
The 2006 Proposed Regulations did not contain any "safe harbors" for de minimis costs and routine maintenance costs. With the 2008 Proposed Regulations, taxpayers have now been provided safe harbors for both.
De Minimis Costs
A qualifying taxpayer will be allowed to apply a minimum capitalization threshold for acquiring or producing property. A qualifying taxpayer is a taxpayer that:
An example would be a taxpayer who adopts a policy for both financial statements and tax purposes to expense any assets acquired that have a cost of less than $1,000.
A taxpayer will not be allowed to use this method to distort income. Under the new Proposed Regulations, de minimis standard will not distort income if the expensing policy does not exceed:
Routine Maintenance
A new safe harbor allows a current deduction of routine maintenance activities that a taxpayer expects to perform more than once over the life of the asset to keep it in operational condition. A list of factors to consider when determining whether a maintenance cost should be deducted or capitalized include the recurring nature of the activity, the industry practice, the manufacturer recommendations, their personal experience, and how they will treat these costs on the financial statements. One exception to the safe harbor is that it does not apply in situations where the taxpayer has taken basis or loss in those assets (Prop. Reg. Section 1.263(a)-3(e)(2)).
Although the 2008 Proposed Regulations are still pending, it is likely that the Treasury and the IRS will issue the final regulations before the end of the 2008 calendar year.
Return of Bonus Depreciation
In addition to the new Proposed Regulation discussed above, taxpayers should also keep in mind the re-introduction of bonus depreciation and the extension and expansion of the Section 179 expensing rules for 2008 acquisitions.
Following is a summary of the tax incentives applicable to 2008 asset acquisitions:
The Economic Stimulus Act signed into law earlier this year temporarily reinstates bonus depreciation. Taxpayers will be able to depreciate an additional 50 percent of the cost of qualified property placed in service after Dec. 31, 2007 and before Jan.1, 2009. Only new equipment is eligible and taxpayers can choose to elect out of the bonus depreciation.
Bonus depreciation is allowed regardless of whether the taxpayer has positive taxable income or a net loss (unlike the Section 179 rules which limit the 179 write-off to the taxable income. Electing out of bonus depreciation treatment may still be preferable for a taxpayer in a net operating loss position (with no carryback eligibility), or where accelerated write-offs may negatively impact the taxpayer. Note that bonus depreciation is allowed for both regular and alternative minimum tax purposes and for the following types of property:
To accommodate capital intensive businesses, for property with a recovery period of ten years or more and for certain transportation and aircraft equipment, the December 31, 2008 "placed-in-service" cut-off date is also extended an additional year.
