Gains on dispositions of what the IRS terms "investment property", which includes stocks and options, are taxable as capital gains, if not held in retirement accounts. Further, losses sustained on such dispositions can offset gains, and subject to limitations, can be used to offset other income, if losses exceed gains. Investors are universally aware of these seemingly straight-forward facts. But, as we shall see, there are many considerations and complications to take into account when determining capital gains and losses and how to properly report them on a tax return.
Definition of Long-Term Holding Period, Benefits of Long-Term vs. Short-Term
Most investors are well aware that gains which can be classified as long-term per the IRS definition are taxed at a lower rate than short-term gains, which are taxed the same as ordinary income. Investors are advantaged if gains are long-term and losses are short-term. As noted in Part I, for 2012, long-term gains will be subject to a maximum rate of 15%, and depending upon total income and other factors, may have some of all of the gains not taxed at all. Even if the rules revert to what they were prior to the Bush tax changes, long-term gains will still receive favorable tax rates, compared to ordinary income.
Thus, properly determining the holding period is critical. The rule is, to be considered a long-term gain, the stock must have been held longer than one year, or more precisely, twelve months. Twelve months plus a day or more qualifies, while twelve months exactly, or less, does not. The trade date is the day to reference for stocks in most cases. The time lag between the trade date and the settlement date is not a factor. The starting day of the holding period is the day after the trade date, while the ending day of the holding period is the sale date, which is the trade date when the stock was sold.
Be aware that the holding period is figured in months and fractions of months. If the holding period began on a given day in a month, the holding period is increased by one month upon reaching that same numerical day in each succeeding month. The number of days in a month is not considered. If a stock was acquired on the last day of a month, the holding period increases by one month upon reaching the last day of each succeeding month.
An exception to using the trade date as the applicable date is when closing a short position. In some cases, the delivery date is the purchase date to report. See Part IV, Short Sales, for more on this.
If shares were purchased in lots, on different dates, and the sale was not of the entire position, the IRS, and the brokerages reporting cost-basis on Form 1099-B, will consider that the shares sold were the oldest held. In other words, first-in, first-out (FIFO) is assumed as a default. Note that an average cost of shares cannot be used for stocks. (Exceptions, beginning in 2012, are ETFs structured as regulated investment companies, or shares acquired via a dividend reinvestment plan.)
To override FIFO treatment, the IRS has historically required that an investor must give instructions to the brokerage as to which shares are to be sold, and must receive written confirmation of same from the brokerage. Many, if not most, retail brokerages now allow investors to specify which shares are to be sold as part of the sale order entry process. Schwab and E*Trade are two examples. Presumably, if an investor makes an election to override FIFO using these tools, the brokerage will report the sale accordingly, and the IRS will accept it. I have not, I should point out, confirmed this assumption.
Understanding New Brokerage Reporting Requirements on Form 1099-B
Beginning in 2011, brokerages have been required to report the cost-basis and holding period for stocks acquired after 12/31/2010 to the IRS and to the account owner, on Form 1099-B or substitute. The data reported will depend upon whether a transaction was covered or not, as indicated by Box 6. Covered transactions are those for which all data is reported. Uncovered transactions are those for which a sale occurred in the tax year, but the acquisition date was prior to the beginning of 2011, or the type of security is not required to be fully reported, such as an option (options will be required to be reported beginning with tax year 2013). Uncovered transactions will not show values for all items. Data reported is as follows:
- Box 1a - Date of Sale.
- Box 1b - Date of Acquisition. Not shown for uncovered transactions.
- Box 2 - Sales Price. Must indicate whether a gross sales price is shown, or is net of commissions and transfer taxes.
- Box 3 - Cost or Other Basis. Not shown for uncovered transactions.
- Box 4 - Backup Withholding, if applicable. Usually only applies if a TIN was not supplied by the account holder.
- Box 5 - Amount of Loss Disallowed Because of Being a Wash Sale. Not shown for uncovered transactions.
- Box 6 - Indicates whether Covered or Uncovered.
- Box 8 - Type of Gain or Loss, Long-Term or Short-Term. Not shown for uncovered transactions. Note that there is, inexplicably, no Box 7, at least on all the 1099-B forms I have received.
- Box 9 - Description. Usually the Corporation Name for a stock. Also shown will be the CUSIP Number and the Quantity.
- Boxes 10 through 13 - Data relating to Regulated Futures Contracts.
- Box 14 - Related to proceeds from a Barter Exchange.
- Box 15 - If checked, indicates a loss shown cannot be taken. Usually applies to wash sales.
As mentioned in Part II, Dividends, capital gains on certain commodity ETFs, such as the popular GLD and SLV ETFs, are considered to be collectibles by the IRS, and gains are treated differently than for stocks, per the rules for collectibles. The long-term rate for collectibles can be as high as 28%. Forms 1099-B may or may not flag these as requiring different tax treatment. Also, in researching this, I read that investors have noted that even though holdings in these ETFs were not sold during a year, small, incremental sales were reported on the 1099-B.
These are the result of incremental sales by the ETF. The resource stated that they are reportable as gains by the taxpayer, and offsetting expenses are also reportable, but only as miscellaneous itemized deductions. Further clarification is beyond the scope of this article series. Investors should research these issues thoroughly and understand the ramifications before investing in these unique vehicles in taxable accounts.
In prior years, Form 1099-B showed a limited amount of data for sales transactions, primarily the Sale Date and the Gross Proceeds from the sale. This alerted the IRS that capital gain or loss activity occurred, and provided a figure for reconciling the Gross Proceeds totals as reported by the taxpayer on Schedule D. But, obviously this was far short of providing the IRS with enough data to quickly determine if there was a potential capital gains reporting shortfall. Only a detailed audit could uncover failure to report capital gains properly. The new 1099-B reporting requirements, combined with new Form 8949, effectively tightens up the reporting requirements, and reduces the possibility of significant capital gains escaping taxation.
Introduction to Form 8949 and Relationship to Schedule D
One article I read stated that with Form 8949, the IRS has effectively deputized taxpayers to become associate accountants, assigned to reconcile the data reported by brokerages on Forms 1099-B and report the results to the IRS.
Completing Form 8949 is a prerequisite to completing Schedule D. The details of trades are shown on Form 8949, and totals from all of the Forms 8949 are then transferred to Schedule D, to determine the taxable gain or loss. There are potentially six versions of Form 8949 that may be required, and any of these six versions can run to multiple pages. At the highest level, Form 8949 breaks down transactions between Short-Term, shown on Part I, and Long-Term, shown on Part II. Under each of these two major categories, transactions are segregated and reported appropriately under three potential sub-categories, which indicates the status of the transactions shown on that page, as far as how they were reported on Form 1099-B, and also possibly to the IRS, is concerned.
The status is indicated by checking box A, B, or C. If A is checked, the transactions are reported fully on Form 1099-B, and the cost-basis was reported to the IRS. If B is checked, the transactions were reported on Form 1099-B and to the IRS, but cost-basis was not reported. The form instructions state that Box C is to be checked if neither Box A nor Box B applies. This could mean anything, but I would interpret it to be any transactions that involve capital gain or loss which occurred that were not reported on the forms with Boxes A and B checked. It is incumbent upon the taxpayer to report all capital gains and losses, regardless of whether or not reported on forms 1099-B received.
The essence of the detailed reporting is that the data is to be shown exactly as it was reported on 1099-B in the applicable columns, and any errors or discrepancies are to be rectified with an adjustment, along with a specific code identifying the reason for the adjustment. Columns of Form 8949 are as follows:
- (a) Description - Usually the quantity and security description. Certain types of transactions have variations.
- (b) Code - Indicates a reason for an adjustment. If a transaction requires multiple adjustments due to multiple errors, all applicable codes are to be indicated.
- (c) Date Acquired - For a long stock position, the trade date. Certain types of transactions have variations.
- (d) Date Sold - For a long stock position, the date the position was sold, the trade date of the sell order being filled. Certain types of transactions have variations.
- (e) Sales Price - Most commonly, the net sales proceeds, after commissions and transfer taxes, for example, for a long stock position sold. If gross sales proceeds are reported by the brokerage on 1099-B, an adjustment will be required, to be explained momentarily.
- (f) Cost or Other Basis - For a long stock position, includes purchase commission, and must be reduced by any return of capital distributions. If seems unlikely to me that the brokerage reporting will show reductions in cost-basis from return of capital distributions, particularly if these distributions have gone on for awhile. The taxpayer will need to make an adjustment if this situation has occurred.
- (g) Adjustment Amount - Positive or negative, depends upon the type of adjustment.
Note that Date Acquired through Cost Basis must be exactly as shown on Form 1099-B, with one exception; if the Form 1099-B has an incorrect Date Acquired or Date Sold, show the correct dates on Form 8949, and indicate Code T. If the error causes the transaction status to change from Long-Term to Short-Term or vice-versa, report the transaction on the proper Form 8949 page applicable, considering the corrected dates.
Some of the most common adjustments are:
· B - Basis is incorrect. The amount to show is an amount that when netted with the basis shown will yield a correct basis. Thus, if the basis shown is overstated, show the amount by which it is overstated as a negative number. If understated, show the amount by which it is understated as a positive number.
· T - Dates are incorrect. See note above on how to handle. Adjustment amount will be zero unless other errors are present.
· W - Wash sale loss disallowed. Show the amount of the disallowed loss as a positive number. This will cause the loss to be excluded from capital gains reporting.
· L - Other non-deductible loss. Show the amount of the non-deductible loss as a positive number. Effect will be the same as W adjustments.
· O - Used when sales proceeds do not include selling expenses, such as sales commissions and transfer taxes on stock sales. Show the total sales expenses as a negative number. This will serve to reduce the amount realized from the sale from the gross figure reported on 1099-B. O is also used as a catch-all code for errors not properly classified otherwise. Positive or negative will depend on the nature of the adjustment.
If there are multiple errors with multiple adjustments, show all applicable codes, and net the adjustments into one number and enter into the adjustment amount column.
Once all Forms 8949 are completed, the summarized results are then folded into Schedule D, and the taxable gain or loss is calculated per the Schedule D instructions. To receive the proper rate on long-term gains, the proper worksheet(s) must be completed, as outlined in the Schedule D instructions. If the end result of Schedule D is a loss, only a maximum of $1500 (single filer) or $3000 (joint filer) can be used to offset other income. Any excess can be carried forward to be used in the Schedule D process in succeeding years.

I am an independent, individual investor, focusing on dividend-paying stocks exclusively. I am always seeking to become more knowledgeable on investments and related topics, and on sharing what I have learned with other investors in similar circumstances. Also, I want to reiterate a caution mentioned in the first paragraph of Part I and in the Disclaimer section of all succeeding articles, which is that the points I am bringing out are limited to commonly occurring situations that investors in publicly traded stocks and options experience, with positions held "in street name" in brokerage accounts. Readers need to realize that the information as presented is not all-inclusive, and that there are many exception conditions and special cases that are not being discussed.
Investors are advised to seek professional tax advice and assistance in handling their own tax situation. However, becoming a knowledgeable and conversant client on tax issues affecting investors will save time and money, and will improve the likelihood of correct tax filings.
The next topic in this series is devoted to issues relating to stock buys and sells that can cause unexpected consequences for an unaware stock investor / speculator. Specifically, wash sales, short sales, and constructive sales of appreciated financial positions. Coming up next is Part IV - Wash Sales, Short Sales, and Constructive Sale Rules.

This in the newest version 5.0 of Janome MBX digitizing software. It has lots of improved features over its predecessor, and a totally different layout of tools, which we will be talking about later. It's the high end version aimed at users who want to be able to create professional realistic looking embroidery designs, yet it is user friendly and easy to use, thank to the layout! New exciting tools and many block fill types and even a option to create you own design stamps. Most of the Janome hoops are already built into the program, however, you can create your own hoop size if need be, which is great for digitizing designs for other embroidery machine brands which can be saved in even more file formats.
If you want the ability to create your very own embroidery designs with no limiting factors, then the Janome version 5 Digitizer MBX software is what you should be looking at.
At first Digitizer MBX v5 boot up, you will notice the new screen layout, It works so will it make you think why didn't Janome program it like this 10 years ago! Plus the digitizing is faster that previous versions, there's no 1/2 second delay between clicking the mouse button and seeing the block digitized on screen.
You can customise the on screen layout; however it works very well straight out the box with the main drop down toolbar menu on the left where you can manage your library of designs, choose and customise designs, add lettering or add monograms, edit artwork, auto-digitize, edit objects, digitize, appliqué tools, Advanced digitizing, cutwork and stumpwork, layout, multi-hooping and output or save a design, each has other options as well, and that's just the left menu titles..!
The centre screen is where the design creation takes place as it should be. MBX has the usual option for background colour, fabric background, zoom, hoop, imperial or metric, centre design and more.
To the right is another screen section that automatically fills with options form your selection on the left. It sounds complex, but it's not. It makes the left menu static and always the same and nice to know where the main functions are.
For example, select "lettering and monogramming" left toolbar tab drops down with a four options Lettering, Monogramming, Reshape, Break Apart, in reality these are the only item that need to be in this main list. Selecting Lettering for instance will populate the right menu with all the lettering option which is vast. Digitizer MBX 5 is well implemented and is quick to understand and from a personal point of view, not having to think about how to find digitizing options I want to use is a massive plus point. Tools, menus and on screen layout Janome MBX version 5.0 gets a 10/10 from me.
Use the available drawing tools and digitize by hand, with options to blend, cut and fill holes, create outlines, free-hand shapes or lines, add angles or if that sounds too much for a beginner, take the easy option auto-digitizing and use graphic images from scanned artwork, clipart or digital cameras to create your very own unique embroidery design or applique. Or somewhere in between and click-to-embroidery, that's a halfway between automatic and hand digitizing, you select the thread colour, the satin or weave fill, direction options and use your mouse to click on the artwork colour and hey-presto that image section of colour is turned in to stitches.
Designs can be saved or converted in most embroidery formats. In addition to the new stitches there's is artwork or Image preparation and outlined Image preparation tools.
Janome's Digitizer MBX v5.0 latest version (replaces Digitizer Pro, Digi 11000 and Digitizer MB, MBX v4) has powerful features that are popular among advanced embroiderers. The stitch digitizing engine is powered by industrial digitizing leading player "Wilcom" This professional version gives you extra capabilities, reading and writing to even more embroidery file formats.
It has the ability to save or export a digitized design that you have created or modified directly to the machine or more lightly to a USB memory stick, in these file formats:
For Janome/Elna/Kenmore JEF, JPX,SEW, EMD.
Brother PES, PEC
Bernina EXP.
Husqvarna Viking/Pfaff SHV, HUS, VIP, VP3, PCS, PCD, PCQ, PCM.
Singer XXX, CSD.
Melco EXP.
Tajima DST.
MBX v5 can open any of the above formats, plus the all-in-one design formats like:
Wilcom EMB,EMX.

Bernina ART, ARX, v5-7 ART, v1-5 ART, ART42.
Barudan U??.
Melco CND.
Great Notions GNC.
Design templates EMT, AMT, JMT
I know! To most people that will mean nothing, but to the rest of us, it means you can open and edit most of the embroidery design you could find on the internet for other brands of embroidery machine like Brother, Husqvarna, Pfaff, Singer, Elna, Baby lock, Bernina and not just Janome.
Advanced Editing
With Digitizer MBX v5 you can fine tune designs down to individual stitches. You can adjust designs to get perfect embroidery. Unlimited editing possibilities!
Fantastic Textures
Adding texture to embroidery is a great way to make it visually more exciting. It has more than 130 fill stitch variations to choose from. The program also includes a great selection of motif fills for creating delicate, filigree styles.
Automatic Applique
DigitizerMBX unique applique feature works at the touch of a button to create perfect applique. And it automatically generates placement lines, tacking stitches and border stitches.
Amazing Outlines
Digitizer MBX v5 can create running stitch, satin stitch, and motif run outlines for a perfect edge or to add extra detail to a design. You have full control over stitch length, width and density.
Resizing Designs
With Digitizer MBX you can resize designs and maintain their original stitch density. The program adjusts the stitch count and underlay automatically so the finished design looks as good as the original. You can import designs in all major machine formats to re-size for your chosen hoop or project.
Mirror and Rotate Designs
Designs can be rotated by a single degree to get the perfect position for your project. Stitches can also be angled within a motif to add shading and depth. With Janome Digitizer MBX v5 you can duplicate designs and mirror them, or use the Copy and Paste tools to create large embroideries. Now you can easily create a range of designs based around a theme, with matching corner and border patterns.
Beautiful Colours

Text and Monograms
Add text or monograms to your projects and create personal items or gifts. Text can be manipulated in different directions, stretched, skewed or curved, and the program includes a great selection of ready-made borders to add the finishing touch. Choose from over 100 pre-digitized fonts, plus you can create additional ones using the True-Type fonts installed on your computer.
Design Gallery
Digitizer MBX includes a design gallery for storing, displaying and retrieving designs easily. All your work can be stored and filed in one central library. And you can also browse and select embroideries from CDs, USBs or cards. It supports all major machine formats so designs can be converted from one format to another, either singly or as a group.
Adjust Designs For Different Fabrics
Adjusting embroidery for fabrics that stretch or distort is easy using the "stretchiness allowance" and "pull compensation" features. You can select the type of fabric and the degree of stretch and the Janome Digitizer MBX software will do the rest, including automatically adjusting the underlay.
Do I need to have a dongle attached to my PC.?
This new MBX version 5 is ready to install on to a Window's 7 or above PC directly from the CD, You will need the product key (included) to unlock the software, no dongle is needed.
What is possible with this software ?
This really is one of the easiest digitizing software packages to use. Many of these embroidery designs we sell have been digitized with this software! On a personal note, I have digitized highland dancers, bally shoes, cars, motorcycles, club logos, large names for banners, Christmas tree decorations and even added kids names to football boots! So just about anything is possible.
Which machine can i use this software with ?
If you own a Janome machine, the MC15000, MC12000, MC11000, MC10000, MC9900, MC10001, MC500, MC350e, MC200e or MB4. You would save the designs directly to a USB memory stick, then insert directly into the machine via its USB connection. This is also method you would use to import designs for other machine brands.
On the Janome MC9700, MC9500 and MC300e you would use the optional USB card read/writer kit attached to your PC where you can save your designs to flash card, which can then be inserted into the card port of the MC9700, MC9500 and MC300e.
If you own another embroidery machine brand you can still use this software, but you may also need some sort of device to get the designs from your PC into the machine to stitch out, usually just a USB memory stick does the trick.
Whats the difference between the JR and MBX version..?
The JR is the junior version for users what don't need the ability to edit individual elements of a embroidery design. The JR version has limited file type saving options and design editing.
What are the minimum computer requirements..?
Windows 7, 8.1 or 10 running 32bit or 64bit operating system. 4GB Memory, 80GB Hard disk space and a DVD drive. USB port.

The final cards on the Epsom Classic table are about to be turned over. So far as the colts are concerned, everybody seems pretty certain that three aces still remain face down, pending the production of World Domination, Carlton House and Seville (who will be ridden by Christophe Soumillon) in the Totesport Dante Stakes tomorrow. Among the fillies, however, something pretty special must emerge from the Tattersalls Musidora Stakes at York today to surpass the hands already played in trials for the Investec Oaks.
The standard is so far set by one filly who has already won a Classic, and another who looks so arresting that she may yet replace Blue Bunting as favourite, in Wonder Of Wonders. Of just five fillies lining up today, only three hold an Oaks entry. And the shortest in the betting, Arizona Jewel, largely owes that status to her genes and connections, rather than anything substantial she has achieved on the track itself.
She did win a maiden very nicely at Sandown last month, albeit from some essentially unknown quantities. And, closely related to the dam of Frankel, she is under the same supervision at Warren Place, where Henry Cecil has already trained nine Musidora winners. He demonstrably keeps his best filly for this race, and his mastery makes it impossible to know just how far Arizona Jewel might yet progress.
You could, in principle, protest that the superior form already shown by Barefoot Lady makes her better value, at the odds. But the fact is that she, too, requires a leap of faith. In her case, the guesswork concerns her ability to stay an extra two furlongs and 88 yards after finishing fifth to Blue Bunting in the 1,000 Guineas.
Her pedigree is ambiguous, but she has finished so well when trying a seventh and eighth furlong for the first time, on her last two starts, that connections are certainly entitled to have a go. Moreover she had a troubled run at Newmarket, and her fine finish there may not represent the limit of her potential. The big worry must be that an interval of just 10 days gives her little time to recuperate, especially if the distance takes her towards the bottom of the fuel tank.
Joviality will certainly not get home unless settling better, while Amazing Beauty is not thought as talented as Wonder Of Wonders at home at Ballydoyle. All told, with a hot favourite who needs to improve to beat a filly who may not last the trip, only incorrigible gamblers will be getting stuck into Arizona Jewel (2.30).
The other Group race on the card, the Duke Of York Blue Square Stakes, features an overdue first attempt at six furlongs by Delegator, who borders on top-class over a mile but has often looked capable of making his speed tell best in sprints. Unfortunately the Saeed bin Suroor stable has made a really sluggish start to the campaign, and further rain would represent another issue, but Delegator (3.00) goes so well fresh that he may be worth a conservative interest.
The convergence of five debut winners qualifies the juvenile race as probably the best of its type so far this season, while the rest of the card comprises some typically full-blooded York handicaps.
In the two televised by Channel 4, Sirvino (nap 1.30) looks a huge price in the opener while Iceblast (2.0) may prove better value than Shropshire, who acquired top weight by running third to Frankel himself in the Greenham Stakes. Though Iceblast's revised mark leaves him out of the handicap, he will be better suited by the return to this trip.
Turf account
Chris McGrath's Nap
Sirvino (1.30 York) Unexposed rivals will be priced more on potential than achievement and, assuming his comeback spin has put him straight, odds of 25-1 do no justice to one so effective over both track and conditions.
Next best
Gifted Leader (3.35 York) Has been doing well over timber and returns off a rating 1lb lower than when a close second of 19 over course and distance, pulling well clear of the rest.
One to watch
Deacon Blue (James Fanshawe) Will be testing the patience of some after again looking unlucky at Ascot last Saturday, but his comeback at least confirmed he is still progressing and he will surely click soon.
Where the money's going
With So You Think, Await The Dawn and St Nicholas Abbey giving the Aidan O'Brien stable options for other possible targets, Fame And Glory is 7-2 from 5-1 with Paddy Power for the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot.Reuse content

Project Description
I have several 5+ customer video interviews that I need turned into customer success stories. Basically I have a 12-15 minute Q and A with key customers. I need the video turned into 2 page customer success stories. The breakdown will be as follows:
The case study should read like a story. Start out by describing the problem or situation. Take the reader along on a journey. Give the necessary background to explain the situation and include any relevant details that will help paint the picture. I want the story to be interesting and believable.
Next explain the challenges, the variables that made this particular scenario so complex. Describe any extenuating circumstances and potential risk factors.
Once the problem has been established, you've set the scenario for you to arrive on the scene as the superhero, ready to leap tall buildings, stop criminals in their tracks, and most importantly, solve "the problem."
Okay, maybe that's a bit of hyperbole, but the point of the case study is to describe a problem and a solution, which we provided. This is one time it's okay to be the star of the story. Tell the reader what our product and services did to save the day. Just make sure you offer meaningful proof that supports your assertions.
Include statements made by our customer. Quotes will add credibility to our story. Our customers have already told us how pleased they are with our products, services and/or people. Include these words. It's okay to paraphrase I have the approval from the customer.
Use more than one quote, if possible. Perhaps one speaks to the customer's overall satisfaction with the job done. But another one or two could reference a specific detail that he was especially pleased with.
Explain how our solution was implemented and any problems encountered along the way. If you can quantify results, include numbers. Photos are a welcome addition too and can go a long way toward supporting your comments. I can provide all photos.
Finally, give the results. Describe the aftermath, the happily-ever-after thanks to your talents and hard work. Ultimately, you want the reader to have recognized himself in the problem and now see our solution and think, "Wow! If that worked for them, maybe it can work for us. I want in!"
I do have a PDF that explains in more detail this flow. If you need examples, I have examples.
I will need SAMPLES of case studies, customer stories THAT YOU HAVE AUTHORED.
I will try this out with one video. If successful, I will keep you in work for a long time. Just ask my other freelancers.

It would make a very good question for travel agents sitting their grandmaster examination – I hope that they have such a thing. What holiday would you recommend for a man in his thirties, his boyfriend and his 84-year-old mother? Add in the fact that his father died a few weeks earlier and this is something of a recovery session. Oh, and the 84-year-old can only walk short distances and needs a wheelchair much of the time.
It would make a very good question for travel agents sitting their grandmaster examination – I hope that they have such a thing. What holiday would you recommend for a man in his thirties, his boyfriend and his 84-year-old mother? Add in the fact that his father died a few weeks earlier and this is something of a recovery session. Oh, and the 84-year-old can only walk short distances and needs a wheelchair much of the time.
"Stay at home", "A day trip to Bognor" would surely come the replies.
Well don't listen to them. I, my mother and my better half have just had a hoot of a long weekend in Paris, where barring an incident with a highly polished and narrow marble spiral staircase (more of that later), everything went to plan. Indeed, it didn't just pass with ease and humour. Having my octogenarian mum along for the ride made me see Paris afresh. I even became enthused about the city's generous provision of kerb stones flush to the road and broad, well-maintained pavements (all important factors when there's a wheelchair in the equation).
Paris had seemed a good bet because of the effortless way Eurostar takes you from one city centre to the next and, although it may be the city stereotyped as the perfect destination for young lovers, it really has got more to offer than romantic walks and dinners à deux. Seeing that this was a treat, and my mother's first visit to Paris, we had decided to do it all in some style, booking cheap first-class tickets on the internet. From the start our trip was also aided by the wheelchair, which acted as a priority pass, gaining us better treatment than even the flourishing of a black Amex card.
When we joined the Customs queue at Waterloo, for example, a porter appeared within seconds and ushered us through the crowd, helping with our luggage, charming my mum. On the train, the staff were equally courteous and, at Gare du Nord, there was virtually a red carpet. When we went to join the snaking taxi queue, one of the rank's staff beckoned us to the front, found a people-carrier cab and had us whisked away. My mother was won over by the Parisians from the start and wouldn't hear a word against them. Sometimes surly? Pah!
Now before we go any further, let's just add that my mum has never stayed anywhere grand or chic. We are a big family and holidays were always amazing adventures but their backdrop was holiday cottages in, say, the Lake District, not swanky hotels in foreign cities. But today things are going to be different.
The hotel we have chosen is the Lancaster, an old townhouse just off the Champs-Elysées, close to the Arc de Triomphe. It was turned into a hotel in the 1920s by a Monsieur Emile Wolf from Switzerland, who was determined to maintain the feeling that this was a home. He and his daughter scoured antiques markets for furniture, clocks and paintings and soon guests including Marlene Dietrich, who lived in the Lancaster for three years, were swanning in. Since then the property has had only two other owners: the Savoy Group and now the legendary hotelier Grace Leo Andrieu.
Throughout this time, the original ethos has never been lost. The hotel still retains much of the original decoration but has been gently and stylishly updated with exotic fabrics; the planting of an exquisite courtyard garden; the creation of a library-cum-dining room; and lots of fussing over those important things like bed linen. It even has its own fragrance. More? OK, the bar and restaurant are open only to hotel guests so it is always quiet and oddly laid back for such an upmarket establishment. (They are interested in quality, not glitz, the manager assures me.) And it has such a loyal following that 40 per cent of its guests are regulars. In short, a good place to take someone you want to give the time of their life without making them feel overwhelmed, or on show.
And from the minute the cab pulls up at the door, it's obvious that we have made the perfect choice. An arm is proffered to steady my mum on the walk to the lobby; when we get to her room, she is given a special mat to make getting in and out of the shower safer; and is told that they can get her a stool so she can sit down while showering. The tone is never patronising. My mum is clearly impressed. Who wouldn't be? She has a room overlooking the garden; there's a bowl of persimmons and fresh dates and a card from the manager to welcome her; and the marble bathroom is decorated with white orchids. Our suite is even plusher, with walk-in wardrobes, double white-marble sinks, chandeliers, and a large balcony with views across the city to the Sacré Coeur in the far distance.
It's already mid-afternoon by the time we settle in but we have time to take my mum to Angelina's, the old tea house on the rue de Rivoli. Getting there involves pushing the wheelchair the entire length of the Champs-Elysées but those wide, even pavements mean that this is no hardship and, anyway, the weather is globally warmed mild. Angelina's is packed but the waitress clears a way for us through the sea of gilt chairs and makes room for the wheelchair at the table. I have never been treated with such courtesy.
Sticking with the theme of charming and traditional, that night we head over the Seine to Brasserie Lutètia, an old-fashioned dining hall that's celebrated for its seafood. It's as far removed from central London restaurants as you can imagine – there's none of that "we need the table back by nine" nonsense. There are families, groups of business people, lovers – two men and an 84-year-old fit in just fine. My mother already seems renewed: she's laughing and gossiping in a way I haven't seen for months, not since before my dad's illness left us all feeling lost. Or perhaps her new mood has got something to do with the quantity of wine we're slugging back.
Over the next two days the three of us – plus wheelchair – criss-cross the city. We never take the Metro or a bus. We break up the days with a trip on the Seine (thanks again to the staff on the Batobus who seemed delighted to have a wheelchair user on board), great meals and stops at the Eiffel Tower, Centre Pompidou and Notre Dame. True, in St-Germain the pavements are narrower and wheelchair-pushing requires the dexterity of a rally driver if you are to avoid all those well-shod ankles. But it's only at Café Marly, the hip restaurant overlooking the courtyard of the Louvre, that we almost come unstuck.
There are some 30 spiral stairs made of marble between my mother and the loos. Her only chance is to walk up, not something that, with her heart, a doctor would recommend. But there's no option. So we climb, at the pace of an exhausted mountaineer dragging himself up the Eiger. But as soon as we reach our goal, two elegant women quickly grasp the situation and take my mum into the ladies. I hear them chatting, waiting for her to powder her nose, and then they return her to my charge, asking if they can be of any more assistance. Has the whole of Paris taken some happy pill?
On our final night we give ourselves a break and stay at the Lancaster for dinner. My mum has, she tells me, become attached to this lifestyle. She has decided it's rather enjoyable having someone turn down your bed at night, feed you the best food and wines. There is she believes only one thing wrong with Paris. Next time, she makes me promise, we'll pack the PG Tips.
Andrew Tuck stayed at the Lancaster, 7 Rue de Berri, Champs-Elysées, Paris (00 33 01 40 76 40 76; email@example.com). Double rooms start from £245 a night.

New England Patriots rookie cornerback Alfonzo Dennard returned to practice Thursday. He missed Wednesday's session due to a mandatory court appearance in Nebraska.
Dennard was charged with assault in Nebraska in April and had two court appearances pushed back in July and November. He will return to court on Feb. 11 after the season is over.
The seventh-round pick has made an impact on New England's defense. Dennard recorded 35 tackles and three interceptions during the regular season.

Irish politicians are tonight expected to pass divisive laws to legislate abortion in limited circumstances for the first time.
The most controversial aspect of the new laws allows a pregnant woman to seek an abortion on the grounds that she is suicidal.
Several members of the coalition Government are reportedly preparing to rebel over the reforms which will protect a woman's right to a termination if her life is at risk.
Mass protests co-ordinated by pro-life groups, death threats sent to politicians and intimidation of campaigners have exacerbated the already bitter disputes over the reforms. On Tuesday, a group of pro-life activists slept at the front of Leinster House overnight, saying prayers for those supporting the bill and waving placards with graphic images. The vote will take place there by 10pm on Wednesday evening.
A smaller group of pro-choice activists also held a demonstration after camping at the Dail. They carried pictures of Savita Halappanavar, whose death last October reignited the contentious abortion debate.
Up to 10 government members were expected to rebel but the passing of the law looks set to go ahead.
Lucinda Creighton, Minister for European Affairs is the most senior figure expected to vote against the legislation as she opposes the suicide clause. Instead of a termination, she wants alternative therapies offered.
But if she votes against the bill she will lose the Fine Gael party whip and her junior ministerial position.
Ms Creighton has pushed for the legislation to be amended to include adding a rule that would allow the unborn to have legal representation whilst a speedy and intense assessment of women who state they are suicidal is conducted.
Four of her colleagues have already lost the whip and face the threat of being barred from running for the party at the next election as Taoiseach Enda Kenny sticks to his hard line demanding all Government members vote in favour or abandon their posts.
Mr Kenny has insisted the reform is about "all the women of Ireland".
The Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill 2013 was drawn up following the death of Mrs Halappanavar, an Indian dentist who died in an Irish hospital in October last year after being denied an abortion as she miscarried.
An inquiry uncovered that medics missed an early opportunity to terminate on health grounds and unacceptable clinical practice.
Previously doctors acted under guidance from the Irish Medical Council and law based on a Supreme Court ruling from 1992, known as the X case, that allowed abortion if there was a threat to the mother's life, including suicide.
The case was taken by a 14-year-old rape victim who became pregnant and was refused permission to travel for an abortion. This injunction was eventually overturned by the Supreme Court because the girl had shared suicidal thoughts with her mother.
Ireland was also under pressure after a European Court of Human Rights ruling that a woman in remission with cancer was discriminated against because she was forced to travel overseas for a termination.
Pro- choice campaigners have demanded action and claim Ireland only exports its problem with about 4,000 women registering with an Irish address for an abortion in the UK every year.
Campaigners for abortion to be allowed in other circumstances, such as fatal foetal abnormalities, have been told that it will not be included in any loosening of Ireland's strict regime.
The inclusion of the suicide clause has been the biggest bone of contention, with some opponents arguing it should not serve as legal grounds for abortion, and others claiming abortion in those circumstances could do more damage to a woman's mental health.
Decisions will be finalised today on whether amendments can be made to the legislation but major changes are unlikely.
Following Wednesday's ballot, the bill will be considered by the Seanad - the upper house of parliament.
After that, the legislation will be brought to President Michael D Higgins who will sign off on it and enshrine it into Irish law - provided there are no demands for further amendments, The Government expects the law to be enacted before the Dail breaks for summer on 18 July.
Archbishop Eamon Martin warned TDs who support the bill would be guilty of co-operating with evil.
In a last-ditch appeal by the Catholic Church to urge the Government against enacting the law, the coadjutor archbishop of Armagh said excommunication from the church is a rare phenomenon.
But he warned Catholic politicians might be forced into serious conversations with their priests about their own personal journeys if they vote for the bill.
"The direct and intentional killing of any persons is always gravely immoral," Mr Martin told RTE Radio.
"I can say that knowingly and willingly and intentionally voting to promote abortion, which is the killing of an innocent child, is co-operation in evil and can't be reconciled with your faith."

First, propagating Hosta by leaf cutting would probably be a waste of time
even if you could do it. Remember, that variegated Hosta are Chimeras of
two differing cell layers (one for each 'color' in the variegation). New
buds (adventitious) that develop in leaf cuttings would be from only one
layer and hence would loose the variegation. I have produced leaf cuttings
of Hosta in TC, but they are not reproducible and not variegated.
Second, I think your fastigate (upright growing) yew may be a Cephalotaxus
(plum yew) instead of a Taxus (true yew). Cephalotaxus have longer needles
than yews and often produce fastigate forms. Some plum yew forms also are
low growing growng ground covers. Both 'yews' must be grown from upright
growing cuttings to maintain the upright, fastigate, growth form. Yews are
taken as cuttings after the first frost, stripped of the lower leaves, and
dipped into a talc based rooting compound (8000 ppm IBA + Thiram) such as
Hormodin. They are put into a sand (or sphagnum/perlite 50% mixture) beds
in a cool greenhouse and left all winter to root. The cuttings are
occasionally misted by hand and treated with fungicide. Cephalotaxus is
rooted the same way, but does not give as high a percentage of success as
Taxus does. Both are sucessptable to fungal problems during rooting, so
should be treated with a fungicide. I have rooted Cephalotaxus in the late
spring in a misting bed as well, but the technique given above works well
and is easier.

While I feel sorry for this woman, I would bet my left kidney that she voted in the very government that is screwing her over now. Seattle is such a deep, dark blue. There are no Republicans in Seattle City Government. The last mayoral election was a bunch of Democrats running against each other in the Primary, the top two advanced. All nine members of the Seattle City Council are Democrats. I would bet you money that even after this woman survives all of this and pays off the big tax bill, she will continue to vote for the same party that put her in this financial hole. I live in the suburbs outside of Seattle because it's a fricking politically correct, over-regulated hell hole there. Sadly, some of the same idiots who have ruined Seattle are seeping out into the suburbs. I am holding my breath until we in the suburbs will be subjugated to the garbage nazis (people who are paid to go throw your garbage to make sure that you are recycling properly and not throwing food scraps in the garbage but in the yard waste bin, I kid you not). I'm not sure if the plastic bag ban ever got signed into law there (they were agitating for it), but I do know that they outlawed styrofoam food containers there. Anyways, it sucks but as we all know, elections have consequences!

Well, clearly, the state must tax those who provide the opportunity to dance and redistribute the money to those who did not take advantage of the opportunity to dance.
You see, in a fair and just world, everyone would not only have the opportunity to dance, but the government would make them dance. Once everyone is dancing, then the government could award everyone a first place trophy and then tax them for every move they make.

Turning to audio, I should point out, as I did with the Xbox review, that the Sky HD receiver doesn't have the capacity to output the latest Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio HD audio formats. Which hands an instant advantage to the Blu-ray of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, with its DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 transfer.
However, aside from one or two momentary lip-sync errors noted during the extensive time I spent watching Sky HD movies for this article, I'd say that there's really nothing to choose between the Dolby Digital tracks broadcast with the vast majority of recent Sky HD films, and the Dolby Digital tracks carried on Blu-ray discs or DVDs.
Although Sky's HD movie offering certainly doesn't come cheap, your money does at least get you a genuinely massive selection of HD movie content, delivered with often good and sometimes excellent picture and sound quality. The platform's variable bit-rate system does occasionally come a cropper, meaning that the HD picture quality isn't as consistent as we'd ideally like it to be. But when it's good, it's very good indeed.
The bottom line, really, is that no matter how much handing over loads of money to Rupert Murdoch each month might stick in your craw, there's simply no denying that for anyone wanting to get the best out of their lovely new HD TV or projector, having Sky HD is borderline essential.

The Piano Lesson depicts the living room of Matisse's home in Issy-les-Moulineaux, with his elder son, Pierre, at the piano, the artist's sculpture Decorative Figure (1908), at bottom left, and, at upper right, his painting Woman on a High Stool. Matisse began with a naturalistic drawing, but he eliminated detail as he worked, scraping down areas and rebuilding them in broad fields of color. The painting evokes a specific moment in time—light suddenly turned on in a darkening interior—by the triangle of shadow on the boy's face and the rhyming green triangle of light falling on the garden. The artist's incising on the window frame and stippling on the left side produce a pitted quality that suggests the eroding effects of light or time, a theme reiterated by the presence of the metronome and burning candle on the piano.
This composition shows the open living-room window of Matisse's house at Issy-les-Moulineaux, outside Paris, with his son Pierre practicing the piano. A candle sits on the instrument, illuminating a triangle of lawn. In the bottom left corner is a representation of one of Matisse's sculptures, Decorative Figure (1908), while the severe "teacher" in the opposite corner is actually a representation of the painting Woman on a High Stool (1914). Together they afford a contrast of sensuality and hard work and, reinforced by the metronome on the piano and the candle, suggest the passage of time.
The little boy playing the piano is Matisse's son Pierre. The woman who might be his teacher, apparently watching him from behind, is actually a figure in a painting, Matisse's Woman on a High Stool (Germaine Raynal), which hangs on the wall by the window. Similarly the sensually posed nude at bottom left would be an unlikely class auditor were not this another artwork in Matisse's living room, his own bronze Decorative Figure.
Piano Lesson treats two unlike spaces—a view through a window into air and the flat and tangible canvas of Woman on a High Stool—as if they were quite equivalent. Matisse is addressing issues both formal and philosophical. In describing the playing of music he also takes art-making as his subject, and the filigree bar of curves supplied by the music stand and balcony ironwork—a lovely touch amid the painting's interlocking triangles and rectangles—might almost be a visual version of music's curling notes.
Those flat planes of muted color create a system of geometric compartments that link the painting to Cubism, whose radical inventions Matisse had observed over the preceding few years without ever committing himself to the style. Works like this one show him examining Cubist ideas about pictorial structure while also producing an image utterly personal to him.

Ducks mum on lack of Rome suspension
ANAHEIM -- Vancouver Canucks defenseman Aaron Rome didn't receive a fine or a suspension for his hit on Ducks rookie Devante Smith-Pelly on Friday night.
If the Ducks had an opinion on Rome not receiving any extra discipline from the NHL, they didn't exactly share it on Saturday.
"It's pretty obvious he hit me right in the head," Smith-Pelly said. "I don't really know. I don't really want to say he should or shouldn't have gotten suspended. It was pretty obvoius he hit me in the face."
Rome was assessed a five-minute major penalty for elbowing and a game misconduct. Vancouver-based newspaper, The Province, reported that the league reviewed the play and felt that the penalties during the game were sufficient enough for one-time Ducks prospect.
"To me, I don't challenge those things because it's not my place," Ducks coach Randy Carlyle said. "There's criteria that's set. Obviously the shoulder to the head area is not targeted in their view. You live with those decisions and move forward."
The Ducks scored twice on the power play as part of a four-goal second period that powered their 4-3 victory over the Canucks. Rome's hit on Boston's Nathan Horton in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals earned him a suspension for the remainder of the series and arguably sparked the Bruins' comeback to an eventual win in seven games.

Have a crazy, fun, or interesting job you want to tell us about? Write us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I've been working for the past few years as a social media consultant. In some ways it's sort of a fake, made-up job because what we offer and do is always changing. And also, because the whole area of social media is so new, our clients genuinely don't know what the hell I am or what I can do to help them.
I work at a company that actually does this, so it's not just a freelance gig. I found the job on Craigslist, and it's a startup, so I expected the interview process to be really casual, but it was actually incredibly corporate and serious. The CEO interviewed me, though I didn't know who he was at the time. The office is your typical "cool" startup space — an old converted factory turned into a shiny white modern office. The big bosses are white and old. But the people I work for directly are eccentric and smart. They're what you'd call serial entrepreneurs, though, which is a little worrisome for people trying to hold on to a steady job.
Also, I only get paid $10 an hour. Everyone moonlights.
In theory, our company advises clients on how they can use all the social networks to their advantage. Everyone's totally in denial about the fact that what we do is marketing. "Social media consulting" sounds new and trendy, and everyone I work with dresses like a hipster, so no one wants to admit what we do is really just marketing.
But unfortunately, I also do a ton of tech support. You have no idea how much of my life I've spent so far trying to show people what button to press for setting up Facebook. I spent a whole afternoon teaching a woman how to set a Facebook cover photo. She didn't know what it meant to upload a photo. It's a waste of my time.
I absolutely refuse to attend industry events. Partially, it's because I don't want to stay in this industry, but also because I feel like "industry leaders" are pulling things out of their asses. You'll hear someone talk about "what companies can 'afford' to use Pinterest to their advantage." Come on. Everyone can use Pinterest! People are always coming up with hard and fast strategies and proclamations, which is ridiculous for something that's so new. My coworker reads books on Twitter and LinkedIn. Did you even know there were books on Twitter and LinkedIn? There are!
The worst piece of social media advice I've heard is that you absolutely need to follow back everyone who follows you on Twitter. A lot of clients think they should do that. Smaller clients, in general, are more difficult, because all they usually want is to magically improve their Google search rankings. Tons of people come to us and say, "I don't care about social media as long as it gets me higher on Google." So it's pretty hard to work with those people.
I'd be happy if I could actually meet with clients and be a real consultant, but so much of our time is spent just figuring out what we actually do. I don't want to attend meetings all day about "codifying the product," which is basically jargon for "what the hell do we actually offer our clients." I also don't want to be forced to pretend social media's a one-size-fits-all, and most of all, I don't want to string out incompetent clients who can barely turn on a computer for all their worth.
People think that just because you're young and smart and go on Facebook, you can be a social media consultant. Not true. Just because you know how to use Facebook or Twitter for YOU doesn't mean you'll be good at doing it for a brand. I used to spend hours posting content to my own page in college. I was essentially learning the difference between personal social media and branding using social media. It's not intuitive.
