Estate Must Pay Income Tax Liens
In the Matter of the Estate of Jerry Wayne Young Sr.; No. 1:09-cv-00814
BEFORE THE COURT is the United States of America's Motion to Dismiss [4] the Amended Objection to Claim of Tax Lien filed by the Estate of Jerry Wayne Young, Sr. The Estate argues that the period of collection for Young's tax liability expired because the United States did not file a lawsuit against either Young or the Estate within ten years after the assessment of the tax. In the alternative, the Estate asserts that the tax lien is unenforceable because the lien self-released on June 11, 2007. The United States seeks dismissal of the Estate's objection, arguing that the lien was not released as to Young and because the filing of the United States' Notice of Proof of Claim tolled the limitations period for collection. Following a thorough review of the submissions of the parties and the applicable law, the Court finds that the Motion to Dismiss the Estate's Objection should be granted.
Jerry Wayne Young, Sr., died intestate on July 28, 2003, leaving certain real property in Stone County, Mississippi. His surviving spouse, Betty G. Young, petitioned the Chancery Court of Stone County, Mississippi, for Letters of Administration, so that Young's estate could be administered. She was appointed Administratrix of the Estate on December 4, 2003. On January 26, 2004, the United States filed its Notice of Proof of Claim [1-3 at p. 22] in the Chancery Court action concerning Young's Estate, asserting that Young was indebted to the United States at the time of his death in the amount of $240,459.73. The Notice of Proof of Claim represents tax liabilities that were assessed on May 12, 1997, for the tax years 1990 through 1993. On October 8, 1997, the Internal Revenue Service had recorded a notice of federal tax lien ("NOFTL") against Young's property in accordance with Internal Revenue Regulation 301.6323(f)-1 and 26 U.S.C. § 6323. [1-3 at p. 21]. The NOFTL provided: "With respect to each assessment below, unless notice of lien is refiled by the date in column (e), this notice shall constitute the certificate of release of lien as defined in IRC 6325(a)." The refile deadline provided on the notice of tax lien was June 11, 2007.
The Estate filed its initial Objection to Claim of Tax Lien on September 29, 2009, in the Chancery Court of Stone County, Mississippi, but failed to properly effect service of process on the United States. As a result, the Estate filed and served an Amended Objection to Claim of Tax Lien on December 3, 2009. On December 18, 2009, the United States removed the state court action to this Court. On February 22, 2010, the United States filed the present Motion to Dismiss the Estate's Amended Objection, arguing that the Estate had failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted.
Removal of this case to this Court was proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1441(b) and 28 U.S.C. § 1442(a)(1). However, it should be noted that the federal courts generally do not have jurisdiction to probate a will or administer an estate. Markham v. Allen, 326 U.S. 490, 494 (1946). However, "federal courts of equity have jurisdiction to entertain suits 'in favor of creditors, legatees and heirs' and other claimants against a decedent's estate 'to establish their claims' so long as the federal court does not interfere with the probate proceedings or assume general jurisdiction of the probate or control of the property in the custody of the state court." Markham, 326 U.S. at 494.
The Court finds that a determination regarding whether the Estate's objection to the tax lien should be dismissed would not interfere with the administration of the Estate and would merely constitute a determination regarding whether the United States' claim against the estate has expired. Therefore, this Court has jurisdiction over the United States' proof of claim. The Court will not consider the validity of any other claims against the Estate or otherwise become involved in the administration of the Estate, and the remainder of this case will be immediately remanded to the state court for adjudication of all other issues concerning the Estate.
26 U.S.C. § 6502(a) provides:
Where the assessment of any tax imposed . . . has been made within the period of limitation properly applicable thereto, such tax may be collected by levy or by a proceeding in court, but only if the levy is made of the proceeding begun . . . within 10 years after the assessment of the tax. . . . If a timely proceeding in court for the collection of a tax is commenced, the period during which such tax may be collected by levy shall be extended and shall not expire until the liability for the tax (or a judgment against the taxpayer arising from such liability) is satisfied or becomes unenforceable.
Young's tax liabilities were assessed in May of 1997. Therefore, the Estate claims that the collection period expired in May of 2007. However, the United States counters that its Notice of Proof of Claim filed in Chancery Court on January 26, 2004, constituted a "timely proceeding in court" that tolled the limitations period for collection pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 6502(a).
"[W]hile what constitutes 'a proceeding in court' presents a question of federal law, the proper answer turns on the 'nature, function, and effect' of filing a claim under the relevant local law." United States v. Silverman, 621 F.2d 961, 964 (9th Cir. 1980) (citing United States v. Saxe, 261 F.2d 316, 319 (1st Cir. 1958)). In Silverman, the Court held that, under California law, the filing of a claim against a probate estate did not constitute a "proceeding in court" because the filing of a lawsuit in California state court, not the filing of a claim is what provides the terminal date of the statute of limitations. Silverman, 621 F.2d at 964. Furthermore, the filing of a claim against an estate under California law does not suspend the statute of limitations. Id. at 964-65. In Saxe, the Court held that the filing of a notice of claim against an estate does not constitute a "proceeding in court" under Massachusetts law because the filing of a notice of claim merely extends the time for service of process in an action already commenced against the estate. Saxe, 261 F.2d at 320.
However, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio has held that the filing of a claim with the administrator of an estate constitutes a "proceeding in court" because under Ohio law, the probate court has exclusive jurisdiction to appoint the administrator and determine all questions arising in the case. United States v. First Nat'l Bank, 54 F. Supp. 351, 352 (N.D. Ohio 1943). In addition, there was no other proceeding available to seek payment of the claim under Ohio law. First Nat'l Bank, 54 F. Supp. at 352. The Court further noted that the filing of a claim with a decedent's estate should be considered a "proceeding in court" because the filing of a claim in bankruptcy court is treated as a "proceeding in court" under Ohio law. Id.
Similarly, the United States District Court for the Western District of Kentucky held that an estate claim constitutes a "proceeding in court" under Kentucky law. United States v. Am. Cas. Co., 238 F. Supp. 36, 39 (W.D. Ky. 1964). The Court quoted the following definition of the word "proceeding" given by the United States Supreme Court:
The word "proceeding" is aptly and commonly used to comprehend steps taken in pursuit of either [a judicial proceeding or distraint]. There is nothing in the language or context that indicates an intention to restrict its meaning, or to use "suit" and "proceeding" synonymously.
Am. Cas. Co., 238 F. Supp. at 39 (quoting Bowers v. N. Y. & Albany Lighterage Co., 273 U.S. 346, 349 (1927)). The Court held that a Kentucky probate court actually adjudicates the validity of claims and its determinations are final absent appeal. Id. at 38-39. The Court also relied on the following cases which also held that the filing of an estate claim constitutes a "proceeding in court:" United States v. Ettelson, 159 F.2d 193 (7th Cir. 1947); United States v. Paisley, 26 F. Supp. 237 (N. D. Ill. 1938); and In re McClure Co., 21 F.2d 538 (N.D. Ga. 1927). For example, in Paisley, the Court held that an Illinois probate court is in fact a court that performs judicial functions when it determines the rights of creditors. Paisley, 26 F. Supp. at 238. Furthermore, the Illinois probate court's adjudication is final and conclusive unless its decision is reversed on appeal. Id. Thus, the Court held that the filing of a claim in probate court constitutes a "proceeding in court." Id.
There are no Mississippi cases or Fifth Circuit cases that directly address this issue. However, the Mississippi Supreme Court has noted that "[p]resentation of a claim against an estate is in many respects similar to the filing of a suit against a defendant." Cent. Optical Merch. Co. v. Estate of Lowe, 160 So. 2d 673, 678 (Miss. 1964). Furthermore, the Fifth Circuit has held that the filing of a bankruptcy claim is tantamount to the filing of a complaint. In the Matter of Cont'l Airlines, 928 F.2d 127, 129 (5th Cir. 1991); In re Simmons, 765 F.2d 547, 552 (5th Cir. 1985).
In addition, based on the caselaw discussed supra, an analysis of Mississippi law concerning the administration and probate of estates is instructive on the issue. The Mississippi Constitution provides that the chancery court shall have "full jurisdiction" in "matters testamentary and of administration." Miss. Const. art. 6, § 159. Furthermore, the Mississippi Legislature has provided that:
[t]he court in which a will may have been admitted to probate, letters of administration granted, or a guardian may have been appointed, shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine all questions in relation to the execution of the trust of the executor, administrator, guardian, or other officer appointed for the administration and management of the estate, and all demands against it by heirs at law, distributees, devisees, legatees, wards, creditors, and others. . . .
Miss. Code. Ann. § 9-5-83. Once the chancery court determines that the final account of the estate is correct, it must issue a final decree of approval and allowance and order the executor or administrator to distribute the property. Miss. Code Ann. § 91-7-297. A chancery court decree has "the force, operation, and effect of a judgment at law in the circuit court." Miss. Code. Ann. § 11-59-79.
Thus, Mississippi chancery courts have exclusive jurisdiction over the administration of estates. These courts provide judicial functions, and their decisions are final absent an appeal or some other direct action in chancery court. Furthermore, the Mississippi Supreme Court has noted that the filing of a claim against an estate is similar to the filing of a lawsuit, and the Fifth Circuit has held that analogous bankruptcy proceedings are tantamount to a civil lawsuit. Therefore, this Court finds that the filing of a proof of claim against an estate constitutes a "proceeding in court" that tolls the limitations period for collecting tax liability pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 6502(a). Since it is undisputed that the United States' Proof of Claim was filed before the ten-year limitations period expired, the Proof of Claim constituted a timely "proceeding in court," and the United States is not barred from collecting the tax debt.
The Estate argues that Young's tax lien "self-released" because the NOFTL filed by the Internal Revenue Service on October 8, 1997, provides: "With respect to each assessment below, unless notice of lien is refiled by the date in column (e), this notice shall constitute the certificate of release of lien as defined in IRC 6325(a)." The refile deadline provided on the NOFTL pertaining to Young's property was June 11, 2007. It is undisputed that the NOFTL was not refiled.
A tax lien is created pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 6321 when a taxpayer either refuses or neglects to pay a tax upon demand. This lien pertains to "all property and rights to property, whether real or personal, belonging to such person." 26 U.S.C. § 6321. The lien imposed pursuant to section 6321 arises at the time that the tax assessment is made and continues until the liability is satisfied or becomes "unenforceable by reason of lapse of time." 26 U.S.C. § 6322. "Time lapses when the period for collection of the lien runs under [26 U.S.C.] § 6502(a)." In re Cole, 205 B.R. 668, 672 (Bankr. D. Mass. 1997). Thus, the tax lien expires ten years after it is assessed, unless a "timely proceeding in court" tolls the limitation period pursuant to 26 U.S.C. § 6502(a), as discussed supra. "The lien imposed by Section 6321 shall not be valid as against any purchaser, holder of security interest, mechanic's lien, or, judgment lien creditor until notice thereof . . . has been filed. 26 U.S.C. § 6323. The notice filed pursuant to Section 6323 is referred to as a notice of federal tax lien or NOFTL. In re Cole, 205 B.R. at 672.
The United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida has given the following explanation of the difference between a Section 6321 tax lien and a Section 6323 NOFTL:
It must first be understood that a material distinction exists between a tax lien and an NOFTL. While a tax lien is relevant to an individual with delinquent taxes, an NOFTL is chiefly relevant to the other creditors of such individual. Indeed, NOFTLs are, in many ways, tantamount to the recording requirement of ordinary security interests -- while the obligation is always enforceable against the debtor, it is only enforceable against other properly secured creditors if and when notice is timely and sufficiently given. The tax liens in this case are those debts; the NOFTL is the timely and proper notice for purposes of maintaining seniority to other secured creditors.
In re Toledo, 395 B.R. 794, 798 ( Bankr. S.D. Fla. 2008). As a result of this distinction, the Courts in the cases of In re Cole and In re Toledo held that the failure to timely refile the NOFTL does not invalidate the Section 6321 tax lien as to the taxpayer but merely affects the lien's priority as to other creditors. In re Toledo, 395 B.R. at 799; In re Cole, 205 B.R. at 672, 674.
As a result, this Court finds that the United States' failure to timely refile the NOFTL only affected the priority of the lien as to other creditors and did not release the Section 6321 tax lien as to the Estate. The Section 6321 tax lien is still valid since the United States filed a "timely proceeding in court" that tolled the ten-year limitations period. Therefore, the Court finds that the United States Motion to Dismiss the Estate's Amended Objection to the Claim should be granted. For the reasons stated previously, this Court will remand all other objections and matters pending in this estate action to the Chancery Court of Stone County, Mississippi.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the United States of America's Motion to Dismiss [4] the Amended Objection to Claim of Tax Lien filed by the Estate of Jerry Wayne Young, Sr. is GRANTED. The Estate's Amended Objection to the Claim of Tax Lien is hereby DISMISSED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the remainder of the Estate proceeding is HEREBY REMANDED TO THE CHANCERY COURT OF STONE COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that a certified copy of this order of remand shall be immediately mailed by the Clerk of this Court to the clerk of the state court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1447(c).
SO ORDERED AND ADJUDGED this the 8th day of April, 2010.
Louis Guirola, Jr.
United States District Judge

IRon a rag quilt? that just doesn't seem fair in my book.ReplyDelete
I know, it's more work when you've done so much already!
You don't have to do it if you really don't want to. I won't tell anyone!!!
I iron my rag quilts mainly for presentation purposes and always from the back with padding underneath so the frayed part is not flattened.
I've never seen such long fringes on one of these, and they're beautiful. I've made several, and like to do a little very simple machine quilting on the layered squares before sewing them together. Any shrinking or puckering that occurs definitely adds to the quilted effect as well as the warmth it provides, and there's not even the slightest chance that I'd try ironing one of these. Life is too short.ReplyDelete

The book pictured above (7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Steve Covey) has had a profound impact on me since I first read it some 20 years ago – leading me to make many profound decisions (some good, some bad and some crazy!). Incidentally, the book came up in yesterday's trader development session with hedge fund trader 'M'. We were talking through some of the obstacles he is currently overcoming in transitioning to trading more frequently.
Here's a quick and simplified (though, IMHO, powerful) application of Covey's 2nd habit to traders (whether professional or retail, full-time or part-time, novice or maverick):
Click here for examples of testing activities

I remember clearly being pointed to it by an Australian traveler whilst I was a train, with my backpack, in the Czech Republic! Those were the days! Do yourself a favor: buy the book read it, and apply it your trading!

The sloped attic ceiling of the original one-and-a-half storey house contained two small bedrooms and a bathroom on the second floor. The low ceiling height rendered almost fifty percent of the second floor unusable. The roof was raised to provide an eight foot ceiling throughout the second floor. Doubling the floor area accommodated three large bedrooms and two bathrooms. The first floor was gutted to provide an open layout to visually increase the living space.

Police have detained an illegal taxi driver after it was discovered that his license contained the mug of Japanese idol Satoshi Ohno as opposed to his own, naturally prompting questions from far and wide as to how he could make such a "mistake" in addition to fits of rage from the idol's crazed fangirls.
Shanghai police stopped a suspicious taxi on Jiangsu Road but the driver had refused to show them his driving and vehicle licenses, prompting police to find them within the vehicle and discovering that they all possessed a photo of Japanese idol Satoshi Ohno – who naturally looked nothing like the holder of the licenses:
Confessing to his crimes, the illegal driver claimed he purchased the "cloned" taxi online along with the fake licenses for about 10,000 yuan (almost $1500) whilst for some reason disregarding the source of the photo (the thought of being pulled over apparently never crossing his mind).
In addition, the man had illegally put a motor in the taxi that would defraud passengers by allowing him to tamper with the meter, naturally coming as no surprise considering the fake license and vehicle – the criminal was subjected to 10 days of administrative detention and his taxi confiscated.

Getting Social Media in your daily routine is not difficult. We all spend (too) much time per day on Facebook, Instagram or Snapchat. So it seems like we are very used to using Social Media on a daily basis. But when it comes to Social Selling a lot of people still seem to struggle. A lot of people start very enthusiastic and focused. The first weeks they get on very well and they see their follower base grow quite fast. But after a couple of weeks the activity drops and this leads to less results (of course). The only way to keep going with Social Selling is when you make Social Selling part of your daily routine. These tips will help you to do this:
Pick a time slot for Social Selling
I'm sure you have a couple of habits when you start your workday. Maybe you check your email and you get a cup of coffee. Maybe you always chat with your colleagues before you really start. We all have those habits and we are so used to it that it doesn't take much energy and we don't have to think about it when we do it. Well the good news is that you can do the same with your Social Selling behavior. You can make a habit of it by selecting a specific time slot during the day that you decade to Social Selling. For example, I always schedule my content in the morning, before I check my email or get tea. I've been doing this for months so I'm used to it now. I know exactly how long it takes me to get the content scheduled so I keep that in mind when I create my day plan. I also know that when I check my emails first I will never schedule my content, I will get lost in all the work. Try to find a similar moment during the day. Maybe this is at the end of the day or right after lunch. Nothing is wrong or right as long as it fits your day plan.
Download apps on your mobile phone
What do you do when you wait for the train or you queue for something? You check your Social Media channels! Well the good news is, Sales Navigator has a great app that you can use on the go. And the Twitter app works even better than the desktop version. Make sure you get access to the channels you use for Social Selling on your mobile phone so you can use them when you have a minute. When you scan your Sales Navigator timeline briefly there is a good chance you will pick up something that you can use, later, in an email or phone call.
Make your timeline interesting
Social Selling is more than engaging and connecting with your prospects and customers. Social Selling means that you leverage Social Media to be successful in your career. When you save leads and accounts you can also save influencers or other people that you think are interesting. The content that those people share will be helpful when you speak with your prospects and customers! It also helps you to make Social Selling more interesting. You will learn a lot, and this benefits you in your daily job. So don't make Social Selling boring! The more interesting your timeline the more often you will check it.
Create your own content
Content creation is still a big step for a lot of people. But I've also seen that when people start to do it they love it! When you create your own content it is really interesting to see who interacts with your content. And this means you will spend more time on the platforms. When you write your own content you will create better and stronger relationships with your network and this makes Social Selling more interesting. So when you spend a couple of hours (or less) on writing a LinkedIn post, you can benefit from it for weeks.
Social Selling is very interesting when you do it right. But you need to be consistent to see real results. When you make Social Selling a habit it will become easier and easier, so stop thinking about it and start doing it! How do you make a habit of Social Selling?
With love, from Dublin..

Here's the continuation of my dear friend Aly's rage, reactions and such regarding her struggles with anorexia nervosa. I was able to track down substantial information till late December of 2012. I hope these couple of posts are an eye-opening good read for you all.

No. I know I've already eaten today, but that's not the point. I can have a slice of chocolate cake, and the world won't end. Nobody's going to hate me. Nobody's going to be mad at me. It's my 20th birthday. I'm growing up, and it's a day I should be happy and celebrating and I should be having fun, not worrying about this.
TL;DR, Fuck you, anorexia. I'm not letting you take another birthday cake away from me.

"Don't you dare take a picture with that plate of food! You stupid girl, you're not even a chef. You just want people to think you like food and everybody knows you don't! You're just trying to get the attention of guys who like food!"
"Haha, this dumb whore took a picture of herself under a tree! I bet she doesn't even know the scientific name of it! You can't fool me, you're just pretending toenjoy nature! I hate fake outdoorsy girls."
Does that make any sense? No? Then stop hating on girls who like nerdy stuff as "fake geek girls." Y'know, it is possible for us of the double-X-chromosome persuasion to genuinely enjoy Skyrim or Pokemon or Batman or Call of Duty. That's a thing we as human beings might do. /end rant/

Tomorrow is my first appointment to discuss my eating disorder with a psychiatrist… And I've never been more nervous about anything in my life. Not when I first got on a horse, not when I first took Newman into the show ring, not when I was just starting my Cell & Molecular Biology final. Never. I'm going back and forth between anger (at not being good enough to deal with this problem myself) and fear (of being committed to a hospital or of being laughed at or of something I don't even know).
This break has been hell. My diet restriction has gotten much worse, I'm stressing about my body much more often, and I find myself doing ridiculous things like obsessing over a pound of weight gained or lost, needing to sit in a certain spot at the dinner table, or cutting my food into tiny pieces the size of my fingernails. I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle. I feel like seeing a psychiatrist is an admission of defeat.
I guess this has sort of turned into one of those attention-whore statuses, but I just really feel like I need some support, here.
[Tuesday, 22 January 2013 at 20:50]
Pro Tip: Don't walk up behind people in the cafeteria and call them a "fat ass" for grabbing the last piece of chocolate cake, especially if you don't know the person, and don't know that you're triggering a person with anorexia to be unable to eat or look at cake without crying.
[Sunday, 3 February 2013 at 20:35]
Tonight at dinner, I was having difficulty stomaching food. Then I was reminded by my great friends that I am awesome. And I punched that cake in the face and ate it.

Today marks a full week since the eating disorder voice last kept me from eating when I was hungry.
[Tuesday, 2 April 2013 at 23:37] – my personal favourite
Sometimes I wonder why I feel like my worth would go up if my weight would go down. Is it like some secret equation, where I divide the constant of life by my weight, and the result is my worth? So a smaller weight means I'm worth more? And then it makes sense. Because really, this eating disorder is depression and self loathing and self hate, and in the end you just want to disappear. If your weight reaches 0, then you disappear. You become a null set.
Except it won't ever work, because dividing by zero doesn't make you disappear. It just makes an ERROR. You can't divide by zero. Just like you can't ever appease that voice in your head that tells you that if only you were skinnier, everything would be ok. Instead, let's consider the possibility that the equation (self-worth = [life]/[weight]) is an erroneously accepted hypothesis that doesn't actually satisfy the conditions. Just like starving and stressing and crying isn't going to satisfy anything.
Or maybe, instead, the solution to (self-worth = [life]/[weight]) is undefined, because the constant of life is not within the domain for which (x/weight) is defined. Because weight has no meaning when it comes time to judging your life or your self-worth.

"This is the weird aftermath, when it is not exactly over, and yet you have given it up. You go back and forth in your head, often, about giving it up. It's hard to understand, when you are sitting there in your chair, having breakfast or whatever, that giving it up is stronger than holding on, that "letting yourself go" could mean you have succeeded rather than failed. You eat your goddamn Cheerios and bicker with the bitch in your head that keeps telling you you're fat and weak: Shut up, you say, I'm busy, leave me alone. When she leaves you alone, there's a silence and a solitude that will take some getting used to. You will miss her sometimes…There is, in the end, the letting go."

"It would be really great to switch my overeating with your undereating for a while…"
This is not a diet. This is not a lifestyle. This is a psychological disorder. This is self-torture. This is a little voice in my head that won't shut up and calls me all sorts of terrible things and makes me question whether or not I deserve the most basic of human things.
/end rant.
[Tuesday, 23 April 2013 at 15:55]
There's something on the topic of eating disorders that I've wanted to discuss for a long time, so bear with me as I try to sort this all out.
I'm sick of eating disorders being constantly portrayed as the result of beauty standards and societal pressures. Certainly those can be factors. But this isn't always the case, and constantly blaming the media for eating disorders diminishes other very real reasons behind EDs. Oftentimes, weight loss is seen as the true image of an ED, and obsession with food and bodies is a strong symptom, but it can often be just that– a symptom, rather than the actual problem. If people keep painting EDs as only being about looking like models, then we're doing a disservice to sufferers, and we're endangering people who legitimately have EDs but deny it or say they don't deserve treatment because they *don't* feel like the media is a problem for them, like their disease isn't a "proper, true" ED. Different people have different causes and different symptoms. EDs are as diverse as the people who have them.
The issue I personally struggle with is a feeling of being not "good" enough, where "good" can mean any amorphous thing it has to, so long as it makes me feel like shit. Sometimes, this means I don't feel pretty enough. But plenty of times, I don't feel smart enough, or funny enough, or tons of other things that have nothing to do with attractiveness. And when I don't feel "good" enough, I starve myself. How would starving myself make me more intelligent? Good question, but my ED doesn't care. I become stressed about the thought of eating when I don't "deserve" to. I restrict my food intake when I feel like everything's out of control.
An additional thing to remember is that there is no way for ridiculous beauty standards to cause the other various things people with EDs might do, like overeat, observe OCD-like behaviors relating to food/exercise but with no focus on calories (such as not letting food touch, having to sit in a certain spot, etc.), and LITERALLY STARVING TO DEATH.
Plenty of ED awareness campaigns mention that you don't have to be underweight to have an ED (which is true), but they rarely (if ever) mention that you don't have to be aiming for that, either.

Reason #46 to recover from an eating disorder:
Today was beautiful and sunny and pretty and the warmest day so far this year, and everyone was out in shorts and tank tops. But me? I'm curled up in a jacket wishing for more blankets and about 20 degrees more heat.
[Saturday, 4 May 2013 at 16:17]
That awesome moment when you realize you didn't restrict your calorie intake at all yesterday.

A full day of home cooked food now. So far, I've had 3 corn dogs, a dozen chicken nuggets, 5 glasses of Mtn Dew, Hu Hot, a giant hamburger, some mac n cheese, and a bunch of chocolate chip cookies.
Take that, [college food service provider]. No more of your salad and turkey burger bullshit.

Eating disorder problem #763: I'm getting much better about eating (THREE DAYS IN A ROW BY THE WAY NO BIG DEAL OR ANYTHING OK I LIED IT'S KIND OF A BIG DEAL) but I seem to have developed hypothyroidism… I'm eating more, but my body feels fatigued, tired, dizzy, and bloated. It's like my metabolism is screwed up and my body can't correctly process the food I'm eating. TL,DR: I'VE FORGOTTEN HOW TO KREB'S CYCLE.

7 Places in Glasgow Buckfast Lovers Must Visit
Buckfast is well known for a lot of reasons, it's notorious nickname "wreck the hoose juice" is a clue to why it gets a bad name. However, the fortified tonic wine is a favourite tipple for a lot of people. So, for all the bucky-lovers out there, GlasgowLiving have scoured the city to find bars and restaurants in Glasgow with it on the menu…
Bar Bloc
You know you're in a pretty great place when they have Buckfast Ice Cream on the menu! An innovative recipe by Bar Bloc's Mad Chef, the Homemade Buckfast-infused Ice Cream is served with a raspberry coulis, with a side of 'a 9pm asbo'!
Nice 'N' Sleazy

Mini Grill

MacGregor's Pie & Ale Howff

They will only be around for as long as there is a demand for them, so act fast!

Armstrong says Blues are ready for Expansion Draft
Protected lists for all 30 teams are expected to be released on Sundayby Chris Pinkert / Video by Blue Note Productions
ST. LOUIS - The results of the NHL Expansion Draft will be revealed on Wednesday night during the NHL Awards (7 p.m. CT, NBCSN), and Blues general manager Doug Armstrong is prepared to submit his list of protected players by today's 4 p.m. deadline.
"It's been a process we've gone through for the whole year, something we knew was going to happen," Armstrong told stlouisblues.com. "We're going to lose a player we don't want to lose, but that's the price for having an additional team in the NHL."
Armstrong said the Blues would protect seven forwards, three defensemen and one goalie. The protected lists for all 30 teams are expected to be revealed on Sunday.
Teams are required to protect all players with no movement clauses. In addition, first- and second-year players like Colton Parayko and Robby Fabbri are exempt from being selected by the Vegas Golden Knights.
"We don't have any players with no movement clauses, so we didn't have to protect anyone," Armstrong said. "These are the players we want to protect."
"You want to make sure you have a long-term vision of what you're trying to do," he added. "Next year is an important year for us, as is every year. We want to come out of the gate strong, make the playoffs and go on a long playoff run."
For more details on who can and can't be protected, check out our earlier story on the NHL Expansion Draft and what you need to inow.

I went to SM City yesterday and tried looking for a top to pair with my white jeans but unfortunately didn't find any that fits me.
After being tired of going around the mall, I finally decided to pass by Picture City and inquire about the Canon S220 that I was supposed to buy. The camera was out of stock and my reservation is still pending since it will only be available by Thursday of next week. 😦
They said it was out of stock but I came home with one.
I didn't want to go home without trying to get a new camera for tonight so I decided to try my luck convincing them to find one. After much "pacute" effect for 5 minutes, the supervisor finally decided to offer his reserved camera of the same brand. And take note, of an additional discounted price of P 3,600.00.
I think luck is on my side and I'm crossing my fingers for those PSP tonight. 😉

Recently I picked up this MC-500 sequencer. I've read a lot about them and there are really cool vintage 80's professional sequencers. It sort of looks like an old calculator 🙂
- Year: 1986-1988
- Memory: 256KB (768KB for the MKII model)
- 4 tracks (8 with the MKII software)
- 3,5″diskdrive
- Midi in
- 2x Midi out
Quote from 'VintageSynth.com':
The MC-500 is one of the best and reigning stand-alone sequencer and midi recorders around. There's 4-track recording in real or step time and 16 midi channel multitimbrality, a dedicated rhythm track, a built-in 3.5″ disk drive with 100,000 note capacity and a large LCD screen. New operating systems including the newer mkII version can be loaded via the disk drive. Editing is intense and precise. The sequencer has 30,000 note capacity, track merging, microscopic editing, quantization and it's relatively simple to use. (1986)
The MC-500mkII was equipped with Turbo software. Now there are 8 tracks of recording, 100,000 note capacity, real-time track muting and more.
I'll hook it up to some of my old Roland synthesizers and figure out how to use it just for the fun of it.
The guy who sold it to me had no idea what it was and he didn't have the special Roland EC-210 power cord so he 'mended' that problem in the following way:
Somebody call the fire department please 😀
I feel better already:
Of course it didn't came with the boot disk required to use it so I though I'd make one my self. You can still download the boot disk from the Roland website so don't buy it on eBay. While I was trying to create a boot disk my USB floppy drive sort of broke so I'll have to get a new one first. The MC-500 powers up fine and the display just says: "Insert system disk" or something like that.
Since I have to wait for a new USB floppy drive to arrive I had a look on the inside of the MC-500:
Everything looks fine here. My MC-500 has no back light on the display at all. This is a common issue since the back light is provided by an EL foil which becomes dimmer and dimmer after many hours of use. You can get a new EL foil on the internet and replacing seems to be easy. Maybe I'll do this someday.

During August and early September 2009 a concerted effort was made to complete the drawing up of the Whiterock survey. This was the culmination of four expeditions work by many different surveys working under the northern end of Gunung Api. The cartography was carefully planned in advance by the drawing team of Hugh St Lawrence, Robbie Shone, Matt Kirby and Tim Allen. At this stage it was decided to include all of Blackrock Cave up to the 1991 connection with Clearwater as this mostly represented the lower development levels of the northern part of the system.
Using the survex database to produce the centre line, the three major development levels were separated out. The three levels were each hand drawn indiviually, scanned and then stitched back together on the computer. This allowed the levels to be graded in different colour tones so that complex areas would be easier to understand. Three elevations (east, central & west) were also drawn and added to the final draft.
Whilst the cartographers were active other survey work was completed. The original drafting film survey of Clearwater was updated with all 'odd's and sods' discovered at this end of the system since it was drawn up in 1989. This was then scanned and used in conjunction with the new Whiterock survey to produce some graphic illustrations of the whole Clearwater system. With each major level shown as a different colour this gives a unique perspective into the development of the system and is likely to assist those interested in the geomorphology of the caves for many years to come.

When I first discovered my love for classic Hollywood, every film conversation I had inadvertently led back to the same question: "Who are your favorite actors and actresses?" At the time I didn't really have an answer. In fact, I would watch a film, enjoy it, and suddenly become enamored with the leads. My "favorites," therefore, would continue to change with no semblance of continuity. Until I found Barbara Stanwyck.
I remember my first exposure to this incredible actress. I was taking an online Film Noir course that required me to seek out noir's most poignant examples and dissect them. 1944's Double Indemnity was at the top of the list. I became transfixed on this blonde, quietly psychotic woman who knew what she wanted and had enough sex appeal to lure an innocent man into her web of madness. From that point on, "Missy" was my cinematic everything. I devoured every film of hers I could find and searched for a biography that would educate me on her life and career. To my shock and disappointment, there didn't seem to be one. The few books that did reflect some level of professionalism, Starring Miss Barbara Stanwyck by Ella Smith, The Films of Barbara Stanwyck by Homer Dickens, and Barbara Stanwyck: A Biography by Al Diorio, left a lot to be desired. It's not that those books were poorly written, but none were definitive. That's what I wanted, a definitive biography on Barbara Stanwyck. After years of waiting, it has finally arrived.
Author Victoria Wilson has released the first volume of her tirelessly-researched Stanwyck epic, titled A Life of Barbara Stanwyck: Steel True 1907-1940. Unlike other biographies, Ms. Wilson's book precedes Barbara herself, delving into the Stevens family (Stanwyck's birth name was Ruby Catherine Stevens) generations back. Though some might argue that such information is unimportant, a realistic grasp on Stanwyck's forebearers helped unearth the sense of determination that became the actress' model for success.
While it is fairly well-known that Stanwyck's beginnings were both humble and rife with hardship, Ms. Wilson skips the traditional means of overwhelming the reader with cold facts; rather, Stanwyck's life is delivered as a tale that plays out like a dramatic novel, with characters that enter and leave, influence and disappear. Stanwyck's doomed marriage to Frank Fay, working relationship with director Frank Capra, and the adoption of her son Dion (which would ultimately prove to be an emotional rollercoaster) are also covered in great detail. Of course, Robert Taylor, the handsome male star with whom Stanwyck would be most identified, makes his appearance.
Ms. Wilson's book does not read like a career timeline, much to my delight. The writing carries the reader smoothly alongside Barbara Stanwyck as she develops into Hollywood's butterfly. A great deal of Stanwyck's work in this first volume involves the 1930's films that would later be considered career benchmarks: Baby Face, Ladies of Leisure, and Stella Dallas to name a few.
The use of rare photographs, some never before seen, is a wonderful accompaniment to Stanwyck's life story. Ms. Wilson's dedication to her subject is obvious, though one does not get the impression that Stanwyck is treated simply as a handpicked actress. To the contrary, the author displays a high level of esteem for the actress, and writes as if she is preserving the legacy of a close friend.

MADRID — Broadband Internet TV has overtaken cable TV in France, according to audience company Mediametrie.
In its latest MediaCabSat Gallic pay TV report, which includes IPTV data for the first time, Mediametrie estimates French ADSL TV viewers at 8.5 million for June 15. As for cable, cable TV viewership dropped from 6.1 million Feb. 17 to 6 million June 15.
Results underscore France's status as Europe's most vibrant Internet TV market, energized by deep-pocketed aggressive IPTV operators such as France Telecom-Orange, Free and SFR-Neuf Cegetel.
"ADSL TV is free for broadband subscribers, and it will continue to grow. Cable will most probably stagnate," said Francois Godard, an analyst at London-based Enders Analysis.

I see HULU taking the 6th spot by the end of the year. When HULU roles out to other countries and when NBCU and Microsoft figure out what they are going to do with their new distribution deal involing the Xbox360, I think the whole landscape will change.

For a few months now, I've been working on some new mugs. They began with pictures. Not pictures of mugs, but pictures of the city. Since arriving in Brooklyn five years ago, I've taken quite a few pictures, and I recently began experimenting with decals. I printed some and then applied them to mugs I had in the studio. Here is one of those first mugs:
Lately, I've been using one that features the Sheep Meadow at Central park. I took this picture while enjoying a little park life with Heather. It's also one of those first ones I used when I was deciding how to apply the decal to the mug.
What I'm really interested in is this idea that nostalgia for these days, people, and places, can bring back to us the same sense of enormous well-being we experienced on those days. In capturing these moments and places, and placing them on my coffee mugs, I'm attempting to engender the same sense of well-being every time one uses the mug.
Here are some of the newest ones. I'm settling in on the form, and how the glaze should be applied for different images. I use a two-tone treatment for some images, like this Brooklyn Bridge mug:
And I used one glaze on the exterior of a different form for this image with the Manhattan Bridge. It just felt right.
You can find more of my new City Mugs on my Etsy page, as well as other thrown and cast pots.

On Thursday, February 26th at 3 p.m. we lost one of the greatest men this world has ever known. Our beloved Papa was taken home to be with the Lord and we are heartbroken over this loss. He was the kindest, most loving, wise, godly and wonderful man we've ever known, and we miss him so much. Things will be hard without his love, warmth, kindness, selfless attitude, wise counsel, hugs and kisses. We are praying for strength in the days to come as we learn to live without him, and in the years ahead as we try to teach Paige about the wonderful man her Papa was.

The healthy meal-prep service industry has seen major growth in recent years, with businesses like My Fit Foods and Snap Kitchen offering premade meals focused on whole foods. The services have proven increasingly popular with the CrossFit and Whole30 crowds, but in recent years, it's become an increasingly competitive market.
This weekend, My Fit Foods, an Austin-based company that launched in 2006, abruptly closed all of its stores, including eight DFW locations — three in Dallas proper and one store each in Flower Mound, Las Colinas, Frisco, Plano and Southlake. The company was involved in a legal battle in 2014 over ownership and reportedly closed a few individual stores last week before shuttering every location.
Amid rumors that My Fit Foods subscribers were left in the lurch by the closing, other meal-prep services are offering deals to entice their customer base.

There are several foods and herbs that can be used treat medical conditions, such as arthritis, osteoarthritis, shingles, neuropathy, swelling, and autoimmune disorders. There are also certain natural foods and herbs that can be used to increase energy levels and promote a healthier body, such as blueberries, yogurt, almonds, sweet potatoes, salmon, collard greens, and black beans.
Capsaicin is an active component in chile peppers that can temporarily desensitize pain-prone skin nerve receptors called C-fibers. It can be used for people suffering from conditions that include arthritis, shingles, and neuropathy. A University of Oxford Study found that 40 percent of arthritis patients reduced half of their pain after using a topical capsaicin cream for a month and 60 percent of neuropathy patients had the same results after two months. Patients at the New England Center for Headache had a decrease in their migraine and cluster headache intensity after applying capsaicin cream inside of their nostrils.
Arnica is a herb that comes from an European flower that has anti-inflammatory properties. It can be used to ease pain and reduce swelling after surgery.
Aquamin is a red seaweed supplement that is good for people suffering from osteoarthritis. It is rich in calcium and magnesium and can reduce joint inflammation and help build bone. It is recommended to take 2,400 mg of it a day in tablet form.
Fish oil is effective for joint pain due to arthritis and autoimmune disorders. When fish oil is digested it breaks down into chemicals called prostaglandins, which reduce inflammation. For heart health, it is recommended to take 1,000 mg each day. For osteoarthritis, it is recommended to take 2,000 to 4,000 mg per day. It is recommended to take about 8,000 mg per day for people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and autoimmune diseases associated with joint pain, such as lupus.
Methylsulfonyl-methane (MSM) comes from sulfur and is often used by people suffering from osteoarthritis. It can be used to prevent joint and cartilage degeneration. It works better when it is used in combination with glucosamine. It is recommended to start by taking 1.5 to 3g once daily and increase to taking 3g twice each day for more severe pain.
Blueberries can increase energy levels due to the amount of carbohydrates that they contain. They also have fiber than can suppress appetite and feelings of hunger. They also contain vitamin C. Blueberries have a substance called anthocyanin that gives them their color and can help to protect cells from damage that can cause cancer, varicose veins, and urinary tract infections.
Yogurt is healthy because it contains live bacteria called probiotics, which can help the immune system to fight off infections. It also helps to keep the intestines healthy and allow them to absorb more nutrients and energy from food. Yogurt also contains vitamin B12 that increases energy levels.
Almonds can increase energy levels because they are high in magnesium and fiber. Both are energy boosters. They are also a good source of protein and zinc.
Sweet potatoes are low in fat and high in fiber and antioxidants. They contain twice the daily recommendation of vitamin A. They also have high amounts of complex carbohydrates, which can cause a lower glycemic index, so that they digest slowly and can keep a person feeling fuller for a longer amount of time.
Fish are usually low in calories and saturated fat. They are also a good source of lean protein. Cold-water fish, such as salmon, sardine, and mackerel, are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help protect the body against heart disease. Omega-3 can also help against depression.
Collard greens are low in calories and have plenty of vitamins and minerals. They contain vitamin C, which can help to increase energy levels. They also contain disease fighting antioxidants and folate. Collards and other leafy green vegetables contain magnesium and vitamin B. The combination of magnesium and vitamin B can decrease moodiness and anxiety levels.
Black beans contain iron that can increase energy levels and soluble fiber that can help a person to feel full for a longer amount of time. They are also a good source of protein.

Player of the Week - Daichi Tamura
Posted by Lindsay on January 24, 2018
"Battle of the Birds" - On a cold rainy Saturday evening match between the U15 Boys CMF Eagles vs the U15 Boys PoMo Eagles, CMF midfielder Daichi Tamura decided to play one of his strongest games of the season. His consistent hard work and commitment to the game unfortunately weren't enough to lift the Coquitlam Eagles to victory over their bitter rivals, despite being up 3-1 late in the game. Undeterred, Diachi's motivation to continue to work hard in practice in anticipation for next weeks game has not faltered. His always positive attitude is appreciated by all his teammates and coaches!
Congratulations to Daichi Tamura on being selected this week's Player of the Week!

The term "lol" has always pissed me off.
Actually come to think of it, pretty much every text lingo has pissed me off. I think of it this way: "LOL DID U C THT GYZ FCE? LKE TTLY OMG ROFL" and the fact that almost EVERY word is spelled wrong, or not even spelled. I thought these things where getting more sophisticated, not back to cavemen crap.
But that's not what this post is about. It's about love. Love is what binds us, love is what kills us. So, yes, love is no heaven or hell, nor limbo or purgatory. It's just there. And like love, video games are there. They can be evil things, or the greatest things ever.
Just a thought.

Hopefully, by the time you retire, you will have saved a sufficient amount of money to be able to live comfortably and do the things you want to do. But beyond financial security, it's important to remember that there's a lot more to enjoying a happy retirement than simply saving enough money. True wealth and happiness come from many sources:
It's impossible to put a monetary value on good health. With good health, you can get out and enjoy a beautiful day, participate in fun activities and move through your day independently and free from pain regardless of your income.
You can create a pleasant environment in which to live with a nice home and desirable possessions, but if you lack human contact with people you care for and enjoy being around, you will probably be miserable. People will come and go in your life, so it's worth your effort to cultivate and maintain relationships.
When you think about your life up to now, the two things that will probably matter the most to you are the experiences you had and the people with whom you shared them. You will remember the remarkable places you visited and events you experienced with others long after you have forgotten the time you spent doing household chores, watching TV or sitting at the computer. Keep your life rich by always having some new experiences you are planning to enjoy. Most memorable experiences don't cost much money.
It feels good to have a reason to get up out of bed every morning. Once you stop working, there are plenty of other ways to find purpose. Your sense of purpose may come from helping others, creating artwork or music, writing, making the world a better place or simply accomplishing something you want to do. Having a sense of purpose will motivate you to act. If your life isn't as interesting as you would like, you have the power to change it.
You are never too old to learn and experience new things. In fact, seeking out new ways to stay mentally engaged and discovering new things is good for your mental health and happiness. With more information available than ever before, it should be easy to find things to stimulate your curiosity and satisfy your thirst for knowledge.
Regardless of world events, financial problems or whatever other concerns you may have, the world is still a beautiful place. As you move about your daily life, remember to notice and appreciate the inherent beauty of the flowers, trees, clouds, sunsets and attractive buildings. Find time to enjoy music and art. There's beauty all around, which is easy to overlook and take for granted when you are preoccupied with other things. Colorful flowers and beautiful sunsets are there to be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of income.
Time is the most precious commodity we have. Each minute is an asset that once spent, you will never get back. Your time is perhaps the most meaningful thing you can share with someone else. You don't have to be productive every minute of the day, because time spent in relaxation and enjoyment is time well spent. But just as you try not to waste money, be careful not to waste time. Remember that growing older is a privilege that is not afforded to everyone.
Perhaps the most important factor that contributes to your overall happiness and well-being is the ability to appreciate everything you have. Be thankful for your health, friends and family, memorable experiences, the beauty that surrounds you and the time you have to enjoy each of these gifts. And remember to share your gratitude with others by expressing appreciation and telling people that you love them. Don't let your biggest regrets be words left unspoken.
Live well with what you have
We have all met wealthy people who are miserable and poor people who are happy. While it is true that having more money available for your retirement can enable you to do more things than you could otherwise, there are plenty of ways to enjoy your retirement regardless of your income level.

I was compelled to write about this issue this week, because it is something which holds our Asian communities behind. All of us Asians who are in some way in the game of Asian advocacy and empowerment have experienced roadblocks set forward by members of our own Asian community. But the question is why are there these roadblocks? And why is it that we are incapable of working in unison for the common cause, which is really to fight white supremacy and oppression? Well I think a logical reason is human nature, more specifically feelings of jealousy. The feeling of green with envy seriously sterilises any opportunities for Asians to work together cohesively. And mind you, this is not just relevant to Asians living in the West and in Europe, but it is also applicable to Asians living in Asia and who are also in the game of advocacy. I don't think there really is a solution to overcome jealousy, but I guess it is more about us who know this to be aware of it and ensure we all do not get consumed by it.
The second reason I wish to address is back to the whole "gender" thing. It seems that there are certain groups of Asian male activists (predominantly online ones) who prefer to live in their own little toxic male enclaves and just bitch, whine, complain and make up stuff about the opposite gender. Last week, I compared these groups of Asian males to not being any different from white supremacists males/racist. Clearly they just exist in the cosmos to put down, bully and victimise Asian feminists every way they can. Many of them just talk trash like the little boy who cried wolf, and call out Asian feminists as sell outs, Anna Lu's and "white men lovers". The funny thing is, Asian feminists are their allies, but these Asian males treat them as enemies. I always wondered why these men do not direct their anger at white supremacy, because clearly this is the common enemy. Imagine, if they did and worked together with all of us Asian female activists/feminists, how much would we be able to achieve? Hopefully, if any of them read this post, this will act as some food for thought.
One of the biggest setbacks we have in Asian advocacy, is the intra-discrimination between Asian communities. It seems that different Asian groups consider themselves as superior to others and therefore "look down" or refuse to see the value of working in unison with other Asian communities due to misconceptions and racism. For example, I have seen members of the Chinese Australian community who refuse to work with the Indian Sub-Continent Australian community and vice versa. The reasons are extremely petty and it really came down to each community not realising that their fight is a common struggle as well as being heavily influenced by geopolitics. I have also seen Asian social media groups only considering "Sinoism" as the true Asian race and kicking out members who are from a non-Sino Asian background. I think this is the most pathetic thing ever, because it shows how narrow minded some of these Asian groups are to be that exclusive and not realising we are all the same, and we are all one Asian.
The other setback is that Asian communities are hesitant to work with other communities of colour. I think this situation varies from country to country. But I mention this knowing what happens in Australia. Asian communities in Australia specifically hardly support/work with other communities of colour, and this is because they again do not see the benefits as well as not having an understanding of intersectionality and the importance of fighting together. In Australia Asian communities fail miserably when it comes to working with our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander groups. And they do not realise that if our First Nations people do not have self-determination and equality, all other communities of colour are doomed. I am unsure of these experiences in other parts of the world, but I think the US does it much better than we do in Australia. Again, this is something we as Asian Australians need to work to change and we can't just stay within our own groups and enclaves.
So my conclusion? Well plain and simple: We as Asians will never get close in the war against oppression and white supremacy unless we are willing to let bygones be bygones and work together as a unified and cohesive unit. It is all about crossing the floor for one another and supporting each other in this war. The sooner we realise this, the sooner we will be more equipped to continue the fight.
