Delirious Delivers New Material and Rarities on "Time"
- Monday, January 22, 2007
Artist: Delirious
Title: "Now Is the Time: Live at Willow Creek. Chicago, U.S.A."
Label: Furious/Sparrow
No one can accuse Delirious of taking too long in between albums, since the relatively prolific group either releases a rock record, worship project or live compilation just about every year.
And, while the British-based band could appear to be capitalizing on the product chain, the group generally turns out consistent collections that die-hards devour no matter what the content. The group's latest concert CD/DVD combo, "Now Is the Time," comes on the heels of several others – the most recent being 2004's Hillsong collaboration "[UP] Unified:Praise" – though the set list remains fresh, and the performance quality is again top notch.
Rather than recycling its hits over and over again, Delirious takes a cue from Dave Matthews Band by often integrating new material and rarely performed selections into each tour. This particular outing was in support of its latest studio creation, "The Mission Bell," and features the majority of those selections, which works to the gang's advantage considering the disc's explosive mixture of jarring guitars, catchy choruses and congregational appeal.
The track list is virtually identical on both the audio and visual installments, including lively, hypnotic versions of the old hymn turned alternative expression "Solid Rock," the Coldplay-esque "Now Is the Time," the grandeur of "Miracle Maker" and the barnburner "Paint the Town Red."
While the CD is a little limited in translating the audience's excitement to a personal stereo, the DVD more than makes up for the slack. Not only is the crowd especially energetic, but the production is top-notch and could rival any major mainstream concert release. Older fans will also appreciate a gripping rendition of "History Maker" (exclusive to the DVD), one of the show's most moving examples of simultaneous praise and partying. All in all, Delirious once again steps in an inventive direction while refusing formula in one of its most worthwhile live offerings to date.

Diving and snorkeling
diving is among the best in Vietnam with 1,300 species of sea life in the area, including rare dugongs and sea turtles as well as beautiful coral reefs; we can also offer full instruction for beginners – why not learn in your pool
Dive! Dive! Dive! is the first SCUBA diving company on Con Son Island. Western owned and operated, our goal is to provide the safest, most fun and enjoyable diving and snorkeling experience possible, while maintaining absolute respect for the natural beauty of the ocean, the islands and their inhabitants.
We pride ourselves on our friendly, professional and knowledgeable staff, well maintained equipment and….a custom made purpose built dive boat with full facilities and safety equipment onboard.
With a small team, personalized attention is assured and we would like you to feel at home with us both in our shop and on our boat.
We are looking forward to welcoming you into our shop and creating an unforgettable experience for you!
Founded in January 2011 by Larry Bernier, a passionate diver and long term resident of Vietnam. We have found a unique home here on Con Dao where an opportunity has been presented to us to contribute our ideas and experience to the sustainable development of the islands, in a combined effort with the People's Committee, the Navy and the Central Government in Vung Tau.
We take this role very seriously and are working diligently to halt environmental degradation and promote thoughtful well-reasoned development in contrast to the rapid pace and thoughtless development that characterizes most of Vietnam. Currently we are working with the Word Wildlife Fund (WWF), the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and Wildlife At Risk Vietnam (WAR).
Our mission is to provide our customers with a memorable visit to Vietnam and the Con Dao Islands.Being the only foreign residents on the island, we took upon us the role of unofficial tourist agency
Part of Con Dao's charm is it's remote location. The islands are situated 200 kilometres from the mainland and the only way in or out is by boat or by plane. There is a hospital on the island and two small pharmacies, but Vietnam is not very well known for it's excellent health care system. If you are coming to these gorgeous islands, please keep in mind that you will be needing a travel insurance that will cover emergency evacuation.
In case of an emergency, you will have to be transported to either (depending on the severity of your case) Ho Chi Minh City or Bangkok, Thailand. The costs for emergency evacuation can easily build up to $50.000 and if you are not able to raise the funds needed or if you are not properly insured, emergency evacuation will be denied!
We are proud to present to you our custom made dive boat " Quynh", she was built with your comfort in mind without comprising your safety. To learn more about the measures we have taken to ensure your safety visit the Safety Page.
She is a 15 x 4.2 meter wooden hull that can comfortably accommodate 20 divers and snorkelers. Onboard we have 2 hot and cold water showers, cooking facilities, plenty of headroom, a big comfortable ladder, 110 and 220v power to charge batteries, lockable storage space and adequate space to move around even when loaded with tanks and a new Coltri MCH-16 compressor that ensures that we never run out of air.
The dive deck is clear of any obstruction and is 3.5 meters long by 3.4 meters wide.
Con Dao is one of the few places in Vietnam with water clear enough to take your breath away. There are a number of species that will not be found anywhere else in Vietnam.
To make your trip enjoyable and safe, we at Dive! Dive! Dive! Con Dao have taken the following steps:
All of our staff are trained in first aid and regularly updated. All staff is subject to mandatory drug tests. We also enforce a strict no drinking 12 hours before diving policy.
Because we are diving in an extremely remote location we have extensive emergency plans in place.
We are the ONLY dive operator in Vietnam to have an Automated External Defibrilator (AED) on the boat, a comprehensive first aid kit, Very High Frequency (VHF) Marine Radio, Global Positioning System (GPS) and satellite phone.
We carry in excess of 6000 liters of oxygen on the boat, we are aware that people dive as buddies, so we carry independent oxygen supplies for two divers.
Our air is tested quarterly, to insure you are breathing compressed air that meets or exceeds USA and European standards and we stock 2 years of maintenance and repair parts for all of our equipment.
When drift diving, or in heavy current we bring a chase boat.
We also equip all divers with Surface Marker Buoy (SMB), whistle or air horn and cutting tool.
We have a dedicated staff member assigned to keep watch on all in water activities at all times.
Accidents do happen and we believe in being prepared.
Before entering the water, all divers and snorkelers will be briefed on safety procedures.
In the interest of safety, we ask for your understanding that we do not allow any customers to consume alcoholic beverages prior to entering the water, after your dive or snorkel there is beer for you to purchase
Dive Insurance
Due to our remote location all of our divers are required to have insurance.
This is not a requirement for snorkelers, but anybody traveling to a remote destination such as this is well advised to have adequate travel insurance.
There are numerous dive insurance agencies out there, amongst the better known are: Divers Alert Network (DAN), Dive Assure and In Depths.
If you do have a diving accident on Con Dao and you are insured with DAN, Dive Assure or In Depths, in most cases (depending on your coverage) you will still have to raise the funds to pay for the helicopter, hospital and recompression
so check your policy thoroughly prior to coming here!
In addition to your dive insurance you will still need a travel insurance that will cover all non-diving related accidents. Do check if your travel insurance (or even you health care insurance back home) covers emergency evacuation!
In case your dive insurance or travel insurance is not comprehensive enough to cover for accidents in our remote location, we came up with the perfect solution!
For students or non-certified divers doing a Try Dive, we suggest contactingIMG Global, as they do provide comprehensive travel coverage including non certified divers.
Other options to consider are Divers Alert Network and Dive Assure, please read the policies carefully

early morning...
Thi is one of the many reasons why I love fishing Apanas(Asturias) we get that morning mist,called Brumas that's one of the purest air one can breathe.
Phils says it's too hot in La Dalia? I think NOT,maybe towards El Rama,La Dalia weather should be just a tad hotter that Apanas,which is very cool year round,I am right Doug?
How far from
The Rio Tuma is your house?? We are planning a fishing trip to Rio Tuma,towards La Dalia,myself and our great friend from Asturias,Don Antonio.We are planning on taking my small Alunminum 14 foot boat with a 10HP,that I keep in Asturias. He's Fished Rio Tuma Before,I haven't,but have been there. He says El Rio Tuma,has some huge Robalo/Snooks. I would like to say hi if I am in the Are Doug.
No problem Doug
Our trip will not take place till early May,begining of the rainy season,that's when the fishing is at it's best. If you enjoy fishing,You are more than welcome to our humble little fishing hole in Asturias. Just let me know and I can met you there,right now I am spending 2 weeks a month in Esteli.
I do love my Job
but traveling every 2 weeks is starting to get on my nerves,specially when my little fishing partner for life is just turning 2. Hopefully I will be permanently in Esteli in a few more months. I fish when I get a chance to unwind,specially if you add a little FDC to the fishing :-)
just say when
Doug. You will fall in love with Asturias and it's people. It's absolutely the most beautiful part of Apanas

Autism Spectrum Disorders Health Center
Telltale Signs of Autism as Early as 6 Months
Brain Changes in Autism: Perspective
The new finding about brain changes in autism is an important clue, says Christine Wu Nordahl, PhD, assistant adjunct professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences and an autism researcher at the M.I.N.D. Institute, University of California, Davis.
"To try to find out any sorts of brain changes that are happening prior to the diagnosis is really critical for the field," she tells WebMD. She reviewed the findings but was not involved in the research.
One limitation, she says, is the lack of a ''low-risk" group for comparison. All the infants had older siblings with ASDs. That puts them at higher risk than other children. The researchers also note this limitation.
"We're a step closer to understanding the brain changes that may be happening before the clinical diagnosis is made," Nordahl says. Eventually, these earlier clues may lead to earlier intervention. "That's what we are hoping for."

Irish Music That Doesn't Suck
For a long long while, I thought I didn't like the music of my own Irish culture. That's because I had never heard it. What I had heard instead was a very Americanized version of Irish music. It was hokey, overly cheerful, and often from a genre I would call glass-clinking music. It was music to drink beer with.
When I heard real Irish traditional music and some of the progressive embellishments on it, I was transported. Some of my early introduction came through Green Linnet Records and public radio "Thistle and Shamrock" program.
But hearing it live in Dublin ... well, that was a baptism. Traveling around Ireland, you won't always find it easy to hear "trad" as they call it. On a Saturday night in Sligo, there's a better chance to hear American country and western in five different pubs. You might be better off staying here. We'll tell you why on today's show.

Here is a new option for campers to be able to plug in for very reasonable rates. One person used them in Utah and the rate was $1.00/hour and $1.00 to turn on the electricity.
Imagine some of the possibilities. What if Wal-Mart installed some? What about storage facilities, you could plug your RV in and have it turn on 24 hours before you arive so your refrigerator will be cold when you arrive.
RV parks could use them to upgrade their electrical infrastructrue and then customers could pay only for the electricity they need and it would prevent those showing up late and leaving early without paying. Of corse the rate would have to be higher since the customers might use other facilities that the owner would have to maintain.
What do you think?

Hi Dave,
Did the ones you saw have the shorepowerconnect label on them? Or were they from someone else? I did find a page that says the company offers a level 1 charging connection on their pedestals--but it doesn't specify the plug type, other than to say it is 20 amps @ 120 volts.
Hi docj,
No, it looks more like a Marinco twist lock to me, on the truck. It does suggest a 12 gauge or larger cord. It does suggest that there is a 120 volt plug on the pedestal though. Marinco is a standard--but not that many RV's have the twist lock type connectors.
The pictures clearly show a trucker using a standard extension cord plugging into the side of his truck. National Electric Code would require a standard outlet be compatible with any other such outlets with respect to voltage and current.

They looked just like the pedestals I cited earlier: Truck Stop Hookups
Hi Dave,
Did the ones you saw have the shorepowerconnect label on them? Or were they from someone else? I did find a page that says the company offers a level 1 charging connection on their pedestals--but it doesn't specify the plug type, other than to say it is 20 amps @ 120 volts.
The pedestals from Shorepower apparently come in a variety of configurations. Page two of This PDF file says that the Shorepower Technologies Truck Stop Electrification (TSE) pedestals are
Available in 2-user and 4-user configurations
• Each user gets one or two standard 120 volt, 20
amp outlets (NEMA 5-20R)
• Two users get a 30 or 50 amp 208-240 volt outlet
(NEMA 14-30R or 14-50R) - Not NEC compliant
for EV charging
A standard RV 50 amp plug is a NEMA 14-50R.

Apartments are nice, services are good. I have no complaints.

We loved our apartment, most of our neighbors were great, and we lived in a generally quiet part of the comple Read Morex. However, there was never a consistent office staff and there was not sufficient parking by our building, unless of course you paid for a car port. There is also the incident of our stolen packages. We had 2 packages stolen from in front of our door. It turned out to be the office assistant who lived above us. She was stealing many people's mail.

OK, this is something you're really gonna need to be a good man. I'm serious. Passion, you need it in every aspect of your life, from the boardroom to the bedroom. If you're working, do something you're passionate about. If you're really into, like, concrete and pavement, then go do construction with everything you have. If you like money and fucking people or whatever, go pursue Wall Street. Just don't go through your life lilly-livered and spineless, always planting foot after foot on the road-most-taken, when your dreams ask you to go further, harder. Passion comes from the heart, the spirit, the soul. You need it. It should flow from you, with a musky scent. You need passion in your love life, home life, and nightlife. Don't take your special someone to bed and be a cowardly fish-man. Show them the time of their life, even if only for five minutes before you pass out. You pack the passion, the passion flows from you, then it flows into the world. The world needs your passion, because there's too many passionless people who will never find their way to anywhere."

June 1971
Dear Mike:
Enclosed is the item I mentioned (with which goes a torn up IOU). I could stop here but I won't.
You've heard all the jokes that have been rousted around by all the "unhappy marrieds" and cynics. Now, in case no one has suggested it, there is another viewpoint. You have entered into the most meaningful relationship there is in all human life. It can be whatever you decide to make it.
Some men feel their masculinity can only be proven if they play out in their own life all the locker-room stories, smugly confident that what a wife doesn't know won't hurt her. The truth is, somehow, way down inside, without her ever finding lipstick on the collar or catching a man in the flimsy excuse of where he was till three A.M., a wife does know, and with that knowing, some of the magic of this relationship disappears. There are more men griping about marriage who kicked the whole thing away themselves than there can ever be wives deserving of blame. There is an old law of physics that you can only get out of a thing as much as you put in it. The man who puts into the marriage only half of what he owns will get that out. Sure, there will be moments when you will see someone or think back to an earlier time and you will be challenged to see if you can still make the grade, but let me tell you how really great is the challenge of proving your masculinity and charm with one woman for the rest of your life. Any man can find a twerp here and there who will go along with cheating, and it doesn't take all that much manhood. It does take quite a man to remain attractive and to be loved by a woman who has heard him snore, seen him unshaven, tended him while he was sick and washed his dirty underwear. Do that and keep her still feeling a warm glow and you will know some very beautiful music. If you truly love a girl, you shouldn't ever want her to feel, when she sees you greet a secretary or a girl you both know, that humiliation of wondering if she was someone who caused you to be late coming home, nor should you want any other woman to be able to meet your wife and know she was smiling behind her eyes as she looked at her, the woman you love, remembering this was the woman you rejected even momentarily for her favors.
Mike, you know better than many what an unhappy home is and what it can do to others. Now you have a chance to make it come out the way it should. There is no greater happiness for a man than approaching a door at the end of a day knowing someone on the other side of that door is waiting for the sound of his footsteps.
P.S. You'll never get in trouble if you say "I love you" at least once a day.

text: Posted Online: Nov. 27, 2012, 9:18 pm Thinking big, Rockets' Happ works to perfect his basketball skills Comment on this story By Terry Duckett, firstname.lastname@example.com More photos from this shoot Photo: Gary Krambeck Area Pacesetter Ethan Happ, Rockridge boys basketball standout has started this season slamming home some high scores, including the Orion Tip-Off Classic were he totaled 117 points and 46 rebounds in those four games, with single-game efforts of 38 and 34 points. Having made a commitment to take his game to the Big Ten, Rockridge's Ethan Happ is devoted to making sure his basketball skills are a perfect 10. Coming off a breakout sophomore season in which he averaged over 14 points and 10 rebounds a game to help the Rockets win 21 games and reach the Class 2A boys' regional finals, the 6-foot-7 junior forward is looking to become much more than just one of the area's dominant big men. Even in the wake of an impressive display of scoring power at last week's Orion Tip-Off Classic that helped his club go 4-0 and capture the tournament title, this week's Area Pacesetter for The Dispatch and The Rock Island Argus is more interested in discussing defense. "Game by game, our goal is to try and hold the opposing team under 45 points,'' said Happ. "I mean, the defense can turn on the offense, but then again, you can go a whole game playing good defense and not realize it until you see the final score. We talk about defense and trying to get better at it every day.'' With Happ committing to the University of Wisconsin earlier this year, that has not only inspired him to work on all branches of his game, but also freed him to focus on the possibilities he envisions for this year's Rockridge team. "It (committing to Wisconsin) made me push myself harder,'' he said. "There always are things you can improve on, and I'm trying to do just that. I've been trying to guard more perimeter players, and not just post players. I'm working on my quickness, my jump-shooting for sure, and my 3-point shooting. I'm definitely looking forward to going up there, but right now, I'm just focused on playing for Rockridge. "It is good to know where I'll be going, who my future coaches are going to be, so I can focus on what I'm doing now. We just want to get better as a team.'' Happ got the Rockets off the pad at Orion by netting 117 points and grabbing 46 rebounds in four games, posting a double-double in scoring and rebounding in three of those contests. He put up high games of 38 and 34 points, earning All-Tournament honors alongside sophomore guard Bryan Heath. In the latter game, an 84-34 rout of Knoxville that clinched the tourney title last Saturday, Happ also bagged 3-of-4 3-point attempts. "It's a good start, but we have other goals in mind,'' he said. "We want a regional championship after we got that taken away from us last year. Last year was a step in the right direction, and I can't say it was a bad season, but I'm not happy with it either. If we win one or two more games -- especially against Monmouth-Roseville -- it could've been better.'' Their 21 wins in 2011-12 the first for a Rocket team in eight years. Rockrdge posted seven seasons of 20-plus victories between 1978 and 2004. However, Monmouth-Roseville bested the Rockets on the final night of the regular season to beat them out for the WCC North Division title. Then, the Titans denied Rockridge its first regional crown since 2003 with a 52-46 victory in the 2A Orion Regional finals. "We just want to come out on top when we get to those close games,'' said Happ, who did help his team gain a measure of redemption after besting Mon-Rose (also 4-0) for the Orion tourney title. "That's definitely in the back of our minds when we're practicing.''

Self Parody, National Identity and the Canadian Culture Industry

During Canada's most recent prime ministerial campaign, Nickelback happened to be playing a concert in Ottawa about a month before the election. As the band launched into their hit song "Photograph," a picture of Stephen Harper appeared on the screen behind lead singer Chad Kroeger. There may not be a more telling image of Canada in 2012 than that of the anti-charismatic Harper staring dead-eyed into a camera while Avril Lavigne's husband-to-be grimaces his way through a second-rate Creed impersonation.
I wrote a thing for Somersault Magazine, and I hope you like it. Be sure to read everything else on there too, it's wonderful.

VirtualGL v1.0 allows Unix/Linux OpenGL API applications to be displayed to thin clients
Oct 18, 2005
VirtualGL v1.0 is a framework for allowing Unix/Linux OpenGL API applications to be displayed to thin clients. VirtualGL runs on an application server, equipped with 3D accelerator hardware. It intercepts GLX calls made by applications and re-routes OpenGL rendering contexts into Pbuffers on the application server's 3D hardware. VGL monitors calls such as glXSwapBuffers(), glFinish(), etc., to determine when a frame has finished rendering and is ready to be read back and sent to the client display. VirtualGL can be used to provide hardware-accelerated 3D capabilities to VNC, and it can also be used as a higher-performing alternative to remote GLX. Instead of passing vertex and texture data over the network, VirtualGL passes only compressed images over the network, so its performance is not dependent on the amount of data being rendered. It has been tested with a variety of Linux applications and games (32-bit and 64-bit), with more being added all the time.

He said he loves the experience even with the demanding schedule since the musical was moved up a couple of months.
"It's kind of like a grand finale," Smith said. "It'll be a memory that we'll never forget."
The musical originally was scheduled to run in May, but was moved up to March because the moving date into the new building changed. Besides not wanting to pour water on the new stage, the students didn't want to perform in the new venue without rehearsing there first.
"The kids have been really putting their best foot forward," Edwards said. "The fact that they're here on a Saturday night [rehearsing] is very unusual."
Senior Diana Harden's favorite movie is "Singin' in the Rain," so putting in the extra rehearsal time as Kathy Selden hasn't been an issue.
"It's the second musical this year, and it's been pretty difficult for the whole school trying to work around a spring musical," Harden said. "It's a huge group effort and goes to show the show must go on."
The show runs March 25-29 every evening at 7. Closing day will include the night performance and a 2 p.m. matinee. Tickets are $7.50 if purchased online and $9 at the door.
Junior Tanner Ashcraft, who plays Cosmo Brown, said there's an added pressure to think about the musical sending everyone off from the old building.
"It's cool to think this is the last one that's going to be on this stage, but it's daunting because we need to send them out well," he said. "I think it's going to be such a mixture of joy, relief and sadness because so many years of tradition is over, but we're turning a new leaf over."

This is Tommy, a collie x. He is a year old. Neutered. He is still a bit shy but has the sweetest temperament. His confidence is improving everyday. He loves a good run in the park. Needs basic training as I am still struggling to get him to 'sit'. He was brought up in a yard with very little human contact. His mother has been adopted by a friend of mine here in London.
This is Cricket, female, 4-5 years. Length of small lab, height of corgi. Very
friendly and affectionate. Extremely clever. She has spent over three years in a
foul public shelter. She came with a cattle tag in her ear. She and my dog Gypsy
shared a cage. Her ears tell the tale of life in a public shelter in a country where
these dogs are considered vermin. Needs a firm hand and some training. Neutered.
This is little Hollie. I think she could be a Pomeranian x chihuahua. She is about a year old. She was found wandering the streets in Romania with her little puppy. She is very shy at first but super affectionate and friendly once she overcomes it. She is a beautiful little girl with a lot of personality. Spayed. Micro-chipped. Pet passport.

Stepping over Seasons artfully depicts the finer details of life, encapsulating change within people and places as the seasons unfurl. In Overlook , Capes argues that it is much easier for great poets to romanticise the most classic cities of the world by poetically and playfully ridiculing his own not-so-romantic Australian hometown. Asserting that, in this digital age, everything can be recorded in some way, the poem Late Night claims there is no longer a need for people to appreciate things in the moment .

The Million Dollar Mansion Tax Explained
A: A simple question yet one that many buyers get confused about, especially when they are looking to buy into a new development, and the purchase price is right around $980,000 or so. Here in Manhattan, the mansion tax is a state tax payable by the buyer for transactions of property priced $1,000,000 or more. For those familiar with NYC real estate, that ain't no mansion, but the tax is certainly real!
Definition of Mansion: a very large, impressive, or stately residence. An abode or dwelling place.
Alright, I'll take 'an abode or dwelling place' for $200 Alex! A little history for ya. The mansion tax was instituted by Governor Cuomo in 1989 as a surcharge for the wealthy; back in those days $1M actually bought you a property that could be called something close to a mansion. Talking dollar value, $1,000,000 in 1989 equals about $1,732,443 in purchasing power today, given inflation trends (using this BLS inflation calculator). Today, the mansion tax is an accepted closing cost that buyers' know is coming.
But here is a little something you may not have known about the mansion tax; transfer taxes are considered part of the purchase price!
IF THE BUYER IS PAYING THE TRANSFER TAXES AT CLOSING, THIS COST + THE PURCHASE PRICE IS USED IN DETERMINING IF THE MANSION TAX IS APPLIED. IF THE TRANSFER TAX COST + PURCHASE PRICE EXCEEDS $1,000,000, THE MANSION TAX IS OWEDNo other closing costs are considered as part of the purchase price, in regards to determining if the mansion tax is owed. The mansion tax is 1% of the purchase price or 1% of the purchase price + transfer taxes.
As we all know, this little tidbit about the mansion tax only applies for purchases of sponsor units (new development or previously held sponsor unit sales) in which the sell side closing cost of the city transfer tax, is passed down to the buyer at closing.
The Wool Law Group PLLC has a great webpage explaining more details about the New York State Mansion Tax:
* The mansion tax increases a seller's basis for the purpose of calculating capital gains tax. The amount of a seller's gain is reduced not only by capital improvements but by the amount paid in mansion tax. So, like a tax write-off, you can deduct the mansion tax from any capital gain realized upon resale.
* While the law provides that the buyer pays the tax, the parties can contract otherwise. Should the seller agree to pay the tax however, the sales price will not be reduced by the amount of tax paid for the purposes of calculating capital gains tax and real property transfer tax.
* Unless the property is subject to a lien that amounts to $1 million or more, the recipients of real property transferred in the following ways are not subject to the mansion tax: gift, devise, bequest, inheritance or transfer by will. Such transfers are not considered taxable transactions.
* The mansion tax is not applicable to the sale of personal property. If a home's contents is included in the price, the price should be bifurcated into the real property price and the personal property price. It must be noted however, that sales tax is due on the sale of such personal property.
So, can you get out of the mansion tax? Ehh, its not that simple. Falsely recording a sales price so as to avoid the mansion tax equates to tax evasion. Now I am not an accountant or a lawyer, but the phrase 'tax evasion' sounds like something to avoid. With that said, talk to your attorney about purchases that hover right around the $1M mark regarding your options and don't risk punishment by the IRS to save 1% of the purchase price that can be used in your favor to reduce capital gains at resale anyway!
Know your closing costs ahead of time and calculate it into your budget!
Hi Noah,
If you are buying a multi-family below 4 Residental Units, the Mansion Tax still applies!
BUT, if you are buying a multi-family 4 family or above, you are not subjected to a Mansion Tax, but your Mortgage Recording tax increases ALMOST 1%!
I'm too tired this time of night to check into it for accuracy. But I fully believe those are true.
I am curious, however, if Co-ops are exempt from the Mansion Tax because it is not 'Real Property.'
I suspect that NYC Co-ops are really popular because they were designed to get around the Mortgage tax, not necessarily make it exclusive or hide the purchase price from prying eyes. It just seems logical to me that this was thought up by some savvy Real Estate Developer and it became popular because it infact, saves money by not paying the Mortgage Tax (and possibly the Mansion Tax as well).
mansion tax is levied on coops as well.
The mansion tax is a sorry excuse for a terrible tax because it is robbery disguised as taxation which the buyer pays twice.

Ultra Motor A2B Electric Bike lets you call yourself a cyclist
We Americans say we like bike riding, but we're too damn lazy to pedal. That's why we'll snap up this Ultra Motor A2B Electric Bike with its proprietary power plant that can go 40 miles on a charge with its extended battery. We're wondering how they fit that 500-watt sucker inside this diminutive frame.
It's not exactly slow, either — zipping you along at 20mph, and if you feel like pedaling its 8-gear bicycle drive train for some reason, well, you can do that, too, for even more speed and efficiency. But don't stress yourself. You're not riding a bike… it's a transportation solution!
Ships next month, but brace yourself: this 73-pound beast costs $2,500, enough for quite a few limousine rides.

You just take a deep breath and start loving you. You decide to spend time with yourself and enjoy yourself. You tell him you'd like to just be friends. You don't spend so much time around him. You remember that you're thirteen. You're a little girl. Nothing wrong with that actually, take pride in it. You're just thirteen, a beautiful little thirteen year old girl and you will take things at your own pace, and be thirteen.

I remember you, remember me?
Anyways, you're thirteen, remember it. And I'm 15 so... yeah, I get it. I'm not trying to tell you you're a child because I'm an adult. I'm telling you we're kids.
You can't really. It's not just a switch that you can flip. I'm sixteen, and i may not have ever dated anyone, but for some reason people still ask me for relationship advice lol :) so I say that if you two REALLY love each other, then go for it, as long as you reach the age of consent before you start doing the "other" stuff that tends to go with relationships
Awws:((((((((:D:P:(

Hmmmmmmmmmm :P I think you should find something about him that you hate? And that will let you stop loving him:D:P
you told "1kitori37" you are 13, you are very young to have a relationship.

i guess you don't know what love is, you have feelings for him you think that's love but it's not.
Is he into you? And ask yourself....why would a 17 year old guy be after a 13 year old girl. He really is too old. Would you at 17 want to be with a 13 year old? Just think about that...and make a good choice. Sounds like it would not be a good situation.
What is the problem as long as you both know how to behave, and stick to it? If you love each other truly you'll have the mutual respect to make it work. If you don't, then it won't last anyway. End of....
is it love or lust? and the age difference isnt bad. my moms best fren has been with her husband for 10 yrs and the age difference is eight yrs
If he's way older, then wait for him to die.
Well STOP!!
I am a beta:P AWESOME I saw you before on here:P Um I just told you one way I think:P:D
Who are you talking to?

Hello. You don't know me. Hell, sometimes I don't even know me. I'm eighteen years young, and a high school graduate! I have very little life experience. I won't lie, I've never been in love, I've never had an incredible life changing moment. Although I have to say I think I'm pretty damn awesome. I'm not a hopeless romantic, but I love love. I love old black and white movies, flowers, and everything about rain. I could sleep for countless hours and still be a little tired. I'm a dancer, and have always loved dancing. It's a huge part of my life. I love country music, but not the mainstream stuff. I could live off chinese food and pizza. I have a dog named Chess. I'm a typical teenager, just trying to survive reality. I hate seeing people cry; it makes me sad. I'm here to make myself and other people happy with my attempt at writing. I'm just trying, so no harm no foul, right? If you don't like it, or me, that's okay. I respect your opinion, but please keep the negativity to yourself. I'm just a little ray of sunshine that doesn't like to be shadowed by hate. :) Thank you so much for your time and effort, and I hope you enjoyed! xoxo, Lindsey.

Inside This Week's SI 2013 NFL Preview: Dez Bryant is a Grown ManPosted: August 28, 2013 Filed under: Austin Murphy, NFL, Weekly Issue, Weekly Press Release | Tags: Austin Murphy, dallas cowboys, Dez Bryant, nfl Comments Off
Now that his talent and maturity are in better balance, Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant is finally ready to take off as a pass-catching star, writes Austin Murphy in this week's SI 2013 NFL Preview. As the Cowboys added structure to his life, it started to click for Bryant, who might have been the NFL's best receiver in the second half of last season. "It's not like I didn't want to do things the right way," Bryant says. "I just really never knew how to get there, if that makes sense." (PAGE 60) You can read the entire article on SI.com here.
Bryant has long been pegged as "troubled," but Murphy finds he wasn't a bad seed. Rather, his maturity and talent were out of balance. Murphy asks Bryant about his arrest in July 2012 for allegedly assaulting his mother. The police report says he grabbed her by her T-shirt and hair, bruised her arms and hit her across the face with his ball cap. Asked to address those allegations, Bryant says, "I would be a crazy dude, man, to put my hands on my mom. I did not put my hands on my mom, did not even attempt to put my hands on my mom"—other than to defend himself, he clarified. What about the hat? "I remember taking my hat off and slamming it on the ground," he says, but he denies hitting her. "I love my mom," he replies. "We love each other." (PAGE 62)
When he was suspended for most of his 2009 junior year at Oklahoma State for lying to the NCCA about having a relationship with Deion Sanders, Bryant says he panicked. "I lied," he concedes. "I didn't take any gifts. But I should've told them I went to his home." (PAGE 62)
Murphy also dives into Bryant's childhood. His mother, Angela, had Bryant when she was just 15. When Dez was eight, she was arrested for selling crack and spent 18 months in jail. Dez moved in with his father, from whom he is now estranged. Bryant fought through tough times as a child knowing that he was destined to be a great football player. "I always felt chosen," Bryant says. "By that I mean, God gave me the ability to help myself and my family. I always had that in my head." (PAGE 60) Bryant is not yet ready to talk at length about his upbringing. "When you hear the whole story, I promise you, you're gonna be overwhelmed." (PAGE 66)
Murphy writes that nobody ever questioned Bryant's love of the game or his work ethic. "Dez is one of my favorite teammates I've ever had," says eight-time Pro Bowl tight end Jason Witten. "What's happening now is that he's raised the bar for himself. He's attacking meetings the way he attacks practices and games. He's becoming a true pro."
In Bryant's rookie year, Dallas coach Jason Garret recalls, "we could have fined him five hundred times. He's late for this, late for that . . . . He had no structure in his life." (PAGES 59-60). While Bryant may still squirm through meetings, Garrett says he has become, "a more consistent person," doing what he's supposed to do on a more regular basis. "He gets back to you when you text him. His routes are more precise. He knows what his hot adjustments are." (PAGE 60)
After Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo forced a bullet pass to Bryant in a scrimmage during the Cowboys' first day of full contact at this year's training camp, a longtime team observer noted, "That's why Dez is going to have a big year. Romo trusts him now." (PAGE 60)
Drinking And Driving And DyingPosted: May 8, 2013 Filed under: NFL, Thomas Lake, Weekly Issue | Tags: dallas cowboys, Jerry Brown, Josh Brent, nfl, Thomas Lake Comments Off
Professional athletes do not cause more DUI fatalities than other Americans—they just make more headlines. But with so many resources in place for athletes to avoid driving drunk and numerous high-profile tragedies in recent years, senior writer Thomas Lake wonders in this week's SPORTS ILLUSTRATED why athletes today simply don't know better?
Lake takes readers through a timeline of the most high profile drinking and driving related accidents involving professional athletes, including many that included fatalities like last year's DUI related accident involving Josh Brent of the Dallas Cowboys that killed his teammate and friend Jerry Brown.
Lake reports that years before the tragic accident, while playing at Illinois, Brown and Brent both ran into trouble by driving without valid licenses and even worse—Brent was arrested for DUI in February 2009. He was kicked off the Illinois team and spent two months in prison. After his release, Brent attended a court-ordered victim-impact panel where he learned about horrific accidents related to drunk driving.
Lake then chronicles the night that never should have been. After a night of partying on December 8, 2012, just five miles from the apartment that Brent and Brown shared, Lake writes: "Brent had a choice to make…He can call a confidential safe-ride service administered by the NFL Players Association. He can call one of two limousine services affiliated with the Cowboys. He can call a member of the Cowboys' staff whose job it is to be available all day and all night to help the players however he can. Josh Brent does none of those things (PAGE 61)." Brown had similar choices to make other than getting in as a passenger. The result: A terrible car accident that left Brown dead (Brent survived with minimal injuries). According to a police report, Brent's blood-alcohol level was measured at 0.189, more than twice the legal threshold of intoxication.
Lake notes the 2012 USA Today analysis that found NFL players are arrested on drunken-driving charges less often per capita than members of the general population. Yet, he says "What distinguishes the sports figures is their financial ability to hire drivers. And now, with Safe Ride solutions, they have fewer excuses to drive drunk than they ever had before." (PAGE 59)

Senior writer Jon Wertheim's (@jon_wertheim) profile on former Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell has generated a lot of conversation this week. Two years after he last played a down, he remains the most maligned figure in football and is still widely considered "the biggest washout in NFL history," as Wertheim writes. And yet his fall is nothing new in the history of the NFL; No. 1 overall picks have been turning into busts ever since there has been a draft. (The very first pick, Jay Berwanger in 1936, never played a down in the NFL.) With that in mind, the tablet edition of this week's issue includes hotspots on six of the most notable washouts among No. 1 overall picks in the past 50 years.

PILE ON THE CHARGERS – DAMON HACK (@si_damonhack)
The Chargers' 27–21 loss to the Jets on Sunday was the latest misstep in their recent history, when they have looked like a Super Bowl contender only to travel east and lose. Since 2000 they are a meager 8–18 on the road against the teams now in the AFC East and AFC North, including 1–4 at New England, 0–4 at Pittsburgh and 0–2 at Baltimore. For starting quarterback Philip Rivers, Sunday's loss was his 10th in 11 road starts against the AFC East or AFC North since 2007. All of which solidifies a sentiment that has shadowed San Diego teams of recent vintage: that they are supremely talented and chronic underachievers (page 38).
