No Critics - November (1990)
These german guys were something between classic post-punk area (Joy Division, In Camera) and deutschpunk/depropunk, such as EA80 or Fliehende Stürme. Slight bass structures + dreamy synthetic features made this work very unusual amongst other german gothic rock bands. Also you may find Bauhaus likeness along some songs ("Dance", "Young Hearts Fail").
01) War
02) November
03) Dance
04) No Critics
05) Deep In My Heart
06) Young Hearts Fail

Vintage style crystal ball mechanical pocket watch desk clock. Very solid\/heavy magnifying crystal gives a really cool affect. Use this in your steampunk creations, take apart, or just use as a desk clock. It is in working condition and has in indent on the back so it sits nicely on your desk or mantle. I just love the back which shows the working gears magnified by the crystal glass. The diameter measures about 2 1\/2 inches.

Digital Textbooks to Reach Tipping Point by 2014
From the press release:
More than 18% of new textbook revenue in the Higher Education and Career Education markets will come from digital textbooks by the year 2014, according to a new study by Xplana. By 2014, annual revenues from digital textbooks will exceed $1 billion. This shift in sales will cause the publishing industry to overhaul the traditional textbook production processes.The study, "Digital Textbook Sales in U.S. Higher Education – A Five-Year Projection," projects annual sales growth and market trends for digital textbooks over the next five years. It is based on private surveys conducted by Xplana and its parent company, MBS Direct, as well as other industry and market research.
You can download the full report here.
My first reaction was that I doubted that this would happen, but on reflection I decided that 18% in 5 years is probably a conservative estimate. It's almost a certainty that the digital book market as a whole will hit 18% before that date.

Ever taken a screwdriver to the innards of a beloved, dying gadget in the hopes of breathing new life into it? Well you shouldn't bother according to the Gadget Helpline, as in many cases there is a much simpler solution; switching it off and back on again.
In March the Gadget Helpline asked 1,000 flustered callers to try manually rebooting their hardware, and in 274 cases the problem was fixed. That's over a quarter of gadget-related problems, or 27.4% for those not up to the maths.
"It might seem like the simplest piece of advice you can give someone with a faulty gadget but removing the power source from electrical devices, waiting five seconds and then turning gadgets back on resolves a remarkably high number of technical issues," says GadgetHelpline.com founder Crispin Thomas.
"In many cases people tend to think that restarting their device while the power is still supplied is sufficient to fix a gadget problem but in certain scenarios that isn't enough," says GadgetHelpline.com I.T. Director Nigel Coward. "A soft reboot means that rogue data could still be stored in memory, potentially continuing to cause system instability. Performing a 'hard reboot' on the other hand by removing the battery ensures that the system memory of the device is entirely reset to its default 'just switched on' state and tends to solve a wide array of problems."

In a small glass or ceramic bowl, whisk together the shallots, thyme, chile, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Drizzle the oil over in a thin stream, whisking all the time, until the mixture is emulsified. Set aside, covered and refrigerated, for up to 4 hours.
Trim off any excess fat from the chops and place them in a shallow ceramic or glass roasting dish that will hold them all in one layer.
In a nonreactive bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, chile, and 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Pour the marinade over the chops, coating both sides, cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 and up to 3 hours.
Bring the chops to room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking, and shake dry. In a large castiron skillet, or in 2 skillets if necessary, heat the remaining tablespoon oil over medium-high heat and cook the chops for 5 to 7 minutes on each side (the chops could also be broiled or grilled). Serve immediately, garnished with thyme vinaigrette.

2 Comments on Boy's Bedroom Makeover Reveal + Tips for Painting Walls
Great makeover!
The room looks great Jen – just the colours for a lads room 🙂 The item I like best though is your Ikea Hack – chest of drawers. I love how you've made the drawers look like suitcases. In fact, I would say it's probably the best Ikea Hack I've seen 🙂 If you don't mind me asking where did you get the handles from?

Coffee For Less Review
Established in Philadelphia, Coffee For Less has been providing households, offices and restaurants alike with their fabulous brand name coffees for the last 25 years. Having established themselves as one of the better known coffee providers in the Greater Delaware Valley, they have now also reached the point of being the biggest office coffee service provider throughout Philly.
Coffee For Less Coffee Gifts
Some of the better known coffee brands that are sold online at Coffee For Less include Starbucks, Barrie House, Millstone, Green Mountain and their own personal brand as well. Along with selling coffee, the Coffee For Less website also sells some of the better-known tea brands as well. From Tazo to Bigelow and Tetley to Celestial Seasoning, there are many different varieties of teas readily available to suit your beverage needs.
Simple Online Ordering with 100% Satisfaction Guarantee
It is easy to order teas or coffees from Coffee For Less online. They provide a toll free phone number right on their website to take down orders whether they are for a single family or an entire restaurant. The versatility of this company is something that really makes them useful to all different types of coffee buyers.
Coffee For Less Gift Ideas
Keeping their customers completely happy is what Coffee For Less strives for every day. That is why they offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee policy. This does not mean you will have to sit there and argue about why you should get your money back. It means that if you are not satisfied, (which is unlikely) they will refund your purchase amount.
Members of an Elite Group
Keeping their credibility is incredibly high on their list of goals. The Coffee For Less Company has made themselves accredited members of the BBB (Better Business Bureau). By having this accreditation, they are even more fully committed to getting their customers' full approval on each and every transaction. Such a feat is hard to accomplish but has been proven a high priority for Coffee For Less.
One of the more popular trends in businesses today is to get involved with community service. Something that is delightful to note about Coffee For Less is that they have been active members of the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation for more than 19 years. Back in the days where it wasn't an important bragging right for businesses, Coffee For Less was deeply involved with community service. This shows that they truly do have the best of intentions and are giving back for the sole purpose of giving back instead of for financial gain.
Coffee For Less Coupon Codes - Coffee Gift Reviews
As you are shopping around for your coffee gifting needs, you may also note that Coffee For Less is considered to be a Starbucks Preferred Office Coffee Provider. This is not an honorary group title. It means that of the many coffee companies out there, Coffee For Less is one of the few who have been chosen as members of this elite group. By having this membership, it simply means that they adhere to high quality standards which mean they provide only the best products and services all around.

The Sickness
I bought (all prices pre-discount):
Exposure, by Kathryn Harrison ($5.98)
The Tattooed Girl, by Joyce Carol Oates ($3.98)
I, Claudius, by Robert Graves ($1.00)
Heir to the Glimmering World, by Cynthia Ozick ($1.00)
The Book and the Brotherhood, by Iris Murdoch ($1.00)
Must. Stop. Buying. Books.
But at least I only spent $11.21 total after my discount.
Pics of my overflowing shelves to come. In the meantime, I think I'm going to start On the Road in an attempt to de-slump.
iPod says: "So Excited"...Janet Jackson
13 comments:
Heatheroo, I hadn't heard of Kathryn Harrison until a friend told me about her recently. I'm excited to check out Exposure and see what she has to offer.
Soj, I made the mistake of looking at my bank statement last night. Not good after Christmas!! lol
Iliana, isn't that the truth? I'm especially happy to have finally found the one on Northwest Hwy. I used to go to the little one in Mesquite almost exclusively, and now I hardly everrr go to that one. :)Johnny, don't tempt me! I'll do it! I love spreading the books around.
Courtney, you are quite the enabler! :) And yes, I looove the title. And the cover of the book is particularly pretty...all blue and metallic. Yum!
Oooh, Carl, that's the most refreshing idea I've heard in a while! I'm afraid my checkbook would hate me for it, though.
Fem, I'm looking forward to it. Gonna tuck in and begin reading momentarily.You poor sick thing. I'm not going to admit that I did the same thing at Barnes & Noble's post-Christmas sale. Nope, not me. Nor that I bought Oracle Night by Paul Auster. You don't need to hear it, right?
Okay, so it's just something we book addicts have to do. BTW, I'm trying desperately to load a photo of a flamingo to my photo blog. I'll let you know if I ever succeed. I thought of you when I was snapping flamingo pics. They were fighting with each other, but that wasn't the reason I thought of you.
I'm going to shut up, now.

car sub for home
Is it ok to make a subwoofer using sony XM-552ZR amp and XS-L120P5H for home use. I am using Yamaha RX-V450 receiver. As this amp already has sub x-over and phase selection inbuilt I guess is I won't need it in the sub amp.
I am from Kolkata(Westbengal, India), and they don't sell any plate amp for subs here. The cost will be something around Rs. 7000 for sub+amp plus around Rs. 600 fot the cabinet. I don't think I will get a decent ready made sub for Rs7600 in Kolkata. So that justifies my need to make one. What are the pitfalls fo using car components for home use? |

Hi, how will you power the car amp. I'm not sure your yamaha receiver will handle the 4 Ohm load.

Well, my basic problem is that I won't get a plate amp for sub in Kolkata. This very fact is making me look for substitutes. But I have a Kenwood stereo amp (150W/channel). Is it possiable to use that as my sub amp with feed from my receiver's sub outlet and using a low pass x-over in the sub?
Is there any other way out? for me getting a sub amp is the main problem. And I don't know anything about making an amp let alone a sub amp! Help! anybody? |

The subout from your reciever is already filtered, split it using a Y cable into left and right of a stereo power amplifer, use each channel to drive one coil of a dual coil subwoofer driver. /sreten. |

If you can power the car amp then the answer is a qualified 'yes' .
If you have a SUB out from the hifi amp, then you can bypass the x-over in the car amp and feed its output to the speaker ( otherwise use the x-over ). If the speaker is DVC ( Dual Voice Coil ) then you can drive each coil from a channel on the amp OR run the amp in bridged mode (if it will) and drive one or both coils from that. If the amp will handle a low impedance load (i.e 2R assuming the speaker is DVC) then you will get the maximum power out this way. Do not be tempted to use a car-type sub enclosure in a house, it is likely to sound terrible. Car speaker boxes are designed to accomodate 'cabin gain' in order to sound good in a car. In a house they will sound thin and pathetic. Build a proper enclosure to match your room. |

And I don't know anything about making an amp let alone a sub amp!
By the way , there is nothing special about a 'sub amp' versus a normal stereo amp, except that driving a sub doesn't need as wide a bandwidth as a normal amp, and possibly the PSU needs to be a little more robust. My advice is to forget about the car amp and to drive the car sub from another 'normal' stereo amp, as long as you can find one which will handle the car subs impedance ( which is likely to be 4R / coil ) a lot of inexpensive ( and some expensive ) amps don't like loads lower than 6R. If your sub is DVC then you can wire the coils in series to make 8R , and any hifi amp will drive that ! Footnote: A quick check on Google tells me that the XS-L120P5H is a single voice coil , which complicates things a little. Find a hifi amp pwhich will drive 4R loads, it will be easier than trying to drive a car amp. |

Amp for the sub
The amp I will use for the sub is Kenwood Ka-2200 which you all can check out in this site
http://www.niji.or.jp/home/k-nisi/ka-1100.htm (It is the same as this TRIO modle) As for bridging the amp for a mono output I don't know if it is possiable with this amp though it can produce 4ohms output which is selectable from the back panel. It also has a mono/stereo switch. I think I will use a Pioneer Car sub for this but yet to select the model. The sub I want to make should have the speaker at the bottom in a down firing position. As I have seen in most of the cars they fit the sub facing upward behind the back seat. So is it also ok to fit it in a down firing position? Should I make the box sealed or bassreflex? which works better for a car sub? |

The downfiring position I think will make it more or less behave as a compound enclosure. This will make it possible to reduce the cabinet size in order to maintain same roll-off freq.
On top of that the coupling to the floor will increase the bass-output on a certain low freq.bandwidth. Keep these things in mind... Closed would have my recommendation (will result in even smaller size cabinet...) To stay within your budget: http://www.marchandelec.com/ftp/xm46man.pdf http://www.t-linespeakers.org/tech/f...ssiveHLxo.html Any amp can be filtered-out above very low freqs. in a passive way at very low cost. I think the +/- 10db filters on the kenwood will not give satisfying results...
Max. cone displacement can be several foot on any speaker!Too bad it can be done only once...... |

I rarely notice buffs when I'm running heroic dungeons. Granted, every buff helps in maximizing DPS or survivability, but I personally don't find it really necessary. Do you absolutely have to have Blessings of Kings or a Prayer of Fortitude? I've had players who have absolutely refused to pull until they get all the buffs they want. I'm sitting there looking at their health and their gear and it isn't like they're fresh 80s or anything. We're talking tier 9 level stuff or higher. I don't think having Dalaran Brilliance is going to shave off a significant amount of time in a run personally.
Now when it comes to raiding, I make sure I have everything. On progression raids, I always check to make sure every buff that is available is active. At the same time, I'm a little more relaxed about it when taking on trash. I don't drop a Fish Feast for the trash leading to Lord Marrowgar, for example. I wait until we get to the boss itself before laying out one of these.
What? The feasts are expensive!
Anyway, what about you guys? Do you require every buff before tackling anything in a heroic? Are there certain buffs you can live without during raids?

i miss my craft room
As you may have guessed from the title, I am still sick. I went to the specialist yesterday, and I was sent in for an emergency CT Scan. I needed to have IV contrast done before the scan. Now I have had about a million blood draws and IVs in my life, I have only had to be double stuck once. They tried FOURTEEN times. After about the fifth time, I started crying, and they just kept trying. They never got it, either. They still did the scan, and I am now waiting for results. I am just trying to stay positive and not freak out. I am resting today hoping that that helps my body heal from whatever I have.
I wanted to share another Mom's Day card. This is a single layer card with only stamping! I used, PTI, sassafras lass, Ali Edwards and technique tuesday stamps. I curved the Ali Edwards stamps so that they would fit in the clouds. Another reason why I love clear stamps! :)
Thank you so much for visiting!
Have an amazing day,

Reasons Why You Need Oxygen Therapy
The amount of oxygen therapy that you need can be dependent on your specific condition. There are people who need to undergo this procedure for some period of time. There are even those who can be okay with one or two sessions. You will need to consult your physician to determine how much oxygen therapy is essential for your condition.
You first have to find out if you are a candidate for oxygen therapy. It is also important for you to determine if there is an immediate need for you to receive this therapy. There are several conditions that require oxygen therapy. Here are some of those conditions:
Lung diseases are common these days. They can be related to a minor lung infection or they can be major lung tumors. As your lungs are involved in breathing, you need to pay attention to their oxygenation needs. There are several things that can damage your lungs. Scarring may occur due to infectious processes or they may be a result of toxic chemicals that are inhaled. When the lungs are injured, oxygen intake and distribution can be greatly affected. Oxygen therapy helps the body compensate with whatever it lacks.
Damages in the airway can be life threatening. They can also keep a person from having a normal life. In order to resume normal functioning and allow a person to perform physical activities, oxygen therapy may be used. Studies have shown an increase in tolerance to physical activities when a person has been exposed to oxygen therapy.
Cases of poisoning can likewise require oxygen. Several poisons have to be released from the body. When this needs to happen, oxygen will be needed in order to replace the poisonous substances or gasses that are present inside an individual. Carbon monoxide poisoning is a very common condition which oxygen therapy will be necessary.
Diabetic patients who have complications can also undergo this therapeutic measure. Diabetic foot complications can have gangrenous parts that lack adequate oxygenation. The affected body part can get a lot of benefits when oxygen is administered. Victims of frostbites can suffer from the same gangrenous body parts. The affected area can be limited when oxygen is given as soon as possible.
There are several ways by which you can receive oxygen. Those who are admitted in a hospital and require immediate oxygenation can be given oxygen through a nasal cannula or a face mask. Different levels of oxygen can be delivered. The level can be dependent on the amount of oxygen a person requires for his or her specific condition. Some individuals who do not immediately require oxygen can undergo hyperbaric oxygen therapies. These are usually elective measures that people can take when they want to.
At some instances like wound healing, simple oxygenation measures can help. If you want your open wounds to heal as quickly as possible, you have to expose your wounds to open air for some time. It is not advisable for anyone to constrict the wounds inside dressings and bandages. They can heal better if the tissues are given enough oxygen.

We need to talk about your dry cleaning. If you?re anything like us, you?re either doing it constantly (the average American spends $750 per year) or you go months at a time without addressing it. (Yeah, there?s Midori on your Mizrahi. What of it?)
Now there?s an in-between approach--and it?s crazy-cool.
The Swash ($500) is the first-ever at-home dry-cleaning machine. About the size of a large garment bag, it fits snugly in your closet or bedroom and cleans soiled clothes in only ten minutes.
That?s right, ten minutes.
Here are the specifics: Hang one item at a time inside the Swash, then insert a detergent pod (kind of like a Keurig) and shut the door. Ten minutes later, and after some satisfying whirring, open the door to retrieve your clean, pressed and delightfully un-smelly piece of clothing.
The Swash doesn?t work with really delicate silks or leather--and if you have a serious stain, you should definitely head to a professional dry cleaner.
But having recently seen the thing in action, we can totally attest to its efficacy: A sweaty button-down, smoky sweater and crumpled pencil skirt all came out as good as new.
The Swash is currently available for preorder for expected August delivery.

March 7, 2014 11:13:08 AM
Her name is Maggie and she is my oldest. She got her name from the street of her first home in Atlanta; Margaret Mitchell Drive. She is as independent and cantankerous as can be and has been accused of being just like me which all in all is OK with me. She was an only child for a very long time and so got used to getting all the attention. Another reason we are similarly situated.
She was my first and she was pretty much unplanned. But once she came home with me I couldn't imagine life without her. I took her everywhere and she came with me even though it wasn't socially acceptable to include her. She went to the movies and restaurants and shopping. She even went to a few law school classes with me one semester.
I carry her baby picture around with my credit cards and drivers license. It isn't that I don't love the other kids, it is just that she was my first. Maggie is 17 going on 18 and for an Italian Greyhound or any dog, these would surely be considered her twilight years.
When she was puppy, I told myself that I would do all the right things that the breeder told me to do. First and foremost, he cautioned, when she cries don't give in. Well, that lasted about 15 minutes. On the first night, I put her to bed in a small room with her toys and water and a nice warm bed. After the first five minutes, I knew I was a goner, it was just a matter of when not if. I went in to "her" room, picked her up, put her in bed with me and until recently she has been there ever since. I have watched her through her baby years, her teenage years, her mature years and now her dotage. I have watched her with all the attributes of the alpha bitch rule the house and have her way. I have watched her as she has fallen prey to time.
She used to be able to do pretty much whatever she wanted, but she has become vulnerable recently and like much of the world, those with whom she interacts tend to take advantage of her vulnerability. Maggie has doled out the discipline and control and now that she has only bark and no bite left she is baffled that what used to work no longer does. Protecting her ability to eat her food has now become my responsibility.
She has been the source of an ever present warmth and occasional frustration and sadness. She has frightened me as I watched helplessly while she suffered with back pain from a compressed disc. She has had eye surgeries, neck surgeries and toe surgeries. My vet file on her is thicker than my personal medical file and I have surely spent more on her health than I have on mine. The wonderful people at Dr. Anthony's office have seen us through much and have dubbed her a "tough ole bird" and that she is.
I have watched her as she slowed down over the years and became less agile and more fragile. It is similar to watching your parents age, it just happens on an accelerated scale. After her second fall from the bed I had to concede that it was time for her to sleep elsewhere. I have a crate that has a pad and blankets inside and when I put it down for her I expected to hear her raising hell about being relegated to the crate for the night. It was as if she knew that it was time for the change and that was a good safe place for her. I am sure that I miss her absence at night far more than she misses mine.
When I come home for lunch there are times when she is sleeping so hard that I am compelled to check to make sure that she is still with me. She can't hear and has limited sight now but still she manages to make do. I watch her as she heads off in one direction and stops as though she forgot where she was going and why. After a few seconds it is as though she remembers and starts up again. Who am I to find fault; I am likely watching my own future.
One of my tenets is that pets make us better people. Maggie has been my friend and companion and now she is my mentor. She is teaching me patience with her infirmities and how to smile through it all. Those lessons don't come easy and I don't expect to do too well when I have to quit learning them from her.

Story continues below this advertisement
During the past holiday season, I was bored. I got terribly sick, coughing up hairballs and, really spent too much time on all the Internets, yeah they have that on laptop computers now!
The doom and gloom presented by the "Chicken Little Drag Racing Society" in Fan-zines out there had me cheering for an Evan Knoll-like Federal government bailout for drag racing since the picture portrayed by some pundits was that drag racing as we know it was truly doomed. Doomed, huh?
Having seen my first drag race at Riverside Raceway in 1963, fortunately my father's influence in the local media was able to get me on the starting line with a full Press Pass for the '64 Winternationals… No there wasn't a title sponsor yet and we weren't part of the media, let alone a media center.
It was a rich time of vast racecars in the lanes, twin engines, small blocks, Buicks, Hemi's, blown gas and injected nitro with small payouts, and so much diversity that if you found an engine and had a chassis with a proper roll bar you could probably compete with your dragster at the Winternationals! The Winternationals, the biggest race we had on the Left Coast, back when there were four or five National events!
We used to have a thriving NHRA Divisional drag racing level where you could watch Super Stock, VW powered dragsters, pro-stock-like Street Roadsters, injected funny cars, AA/FC and AA/FD all at the same event at small tracks like Inyokern in the desert, Amarillo Dragway in Texas and Greater Evansville Raceway in rural Indiana.
There are still a few involved in drag racing today who raced back then, but that field is getting smaller with every new-year. A stat that really caught my attention during the recent California Hot Rod Reunion was that over 75 pioneer drivers, engine builders, chassis builders, journalists and team members had died over the past year.
So, even though I never drove a nitro car, I did race some fast ones and guess that I have some perspective on this crazy, addictive world we all love… some more rabidly than others.
Let me tell you, this has all happened before, we've had short professional fields at nationals events, teams have lost sponsors, we've had lousy hits to the national economy in both the 70's and 80's, drag racing had a paradigm shift as top fuel racers left in droves to embrace those new fangled funny cars to make the BIG money in 32 and 64-car flopper fields. In the early 70's Frank Bradley won Englishtown with a twelve-car qualified field, the '83-'84 downturn in the economy shortened car counts too.
Short fields… As the Monty Python troop would say, "I spit on short fields".
I guess the thrust of my rambling is that all this drag racing stuff is still out there, you've just got to look a little harder. Nitro snobs may have a little difficulty, but it can be found. Drag racing has been fragmented, compartmentalized, segregated and embraced by so many regional drag racing series and promoters that you'd better start marking the dates on that new Christmas calendar with all the possible drag event dates or you may miss one that's very close to you. Just make sure to bring a friend.
We are experiencing a renaissance, a metamorphosis of drag racing into whatever it will become over the next few years, and if you are waiting for the butterfly to emerge from the cocoon soon, it may not look quite like the one you are used to seeing.

Melted Wax Snowflakes
We made snowflakes by melting wax crayon shavings between sheets of wax paper! They are so simple and can really be used for any season at all!
Just grate whatever color crayons you'd like.
Blue and white makes me think winter
Sprinkle some shavings on a piece of wax paper.
With this activity less is more!
Place another piece of wax paper on top of the shavings.
Cover the wax paper with a few sheets of paper or a towel
and iron on low setting
You only have to iron long enough to get the look you desire
It doesn't take long at all!
Be sure to use a towel or sheets of paper
the melted crayon will bleed through the wax paper
When our sheets were cool enough
I traced a snowflake cookie cutter onto the paper and cut them out
and punched a hole for hanging
Knowing these would be in the window, we wanted some sparkle
Miss C dipped just the tips in glue and sprinkled them with glitter
When the glue was dry I strung them up with fishing line
and hung them in the window
They look gorgeous with the sun shining through them!
Like I said, this activity is perfect for any season, just change the colors and shapes to fit whatever holiday or season you're making them for!
Here are a couple examples:

Chapter 4: Managing Taxes
Objectives Explain how taxes are administered and classified. Describe the concept of the marginal tax rate. Determine who should file an income tax return.
Objectives Describe the two ways of paying taxes: payroll withholding and estimated taxes. Identify the three steps involved in calculating federal income taxes. Understand planning strategies to legally avoid overpayment of income taxes. Explain the basics of IRS audits.
Taxes on Purchases State and local taxes are added to the purchase price of goods. Excise tax is imposed on specific goods and services Gasoline Cigarettes Alcohol Tires Air travel Telephone service
Taxes on Property Real estate property tax is based on the value of land and buildings. Personal property taxes on the value of automobiles, boats, furniture, and farm equipment are imposed in some areas.
New Math
Taxes on Wealth Estate tax-federal tax imposed on the value of an individual's property at the time of death. Inheritance tax-state tax levied on the value of property bequeathed by a deceased individual.
3 Steps in Determining Taxes 1.Determining Adjusted Gross Income 2.Computing Taxable Income 3.Calculating Taxes Owed
What is Tax Management? Reduction Deferment Elimination ATTENTION! A PLANNING PROCESS FOR TAX:
Federal tax laws Progressive nature of income tax Regressive Marginal tax rate Effective marginal tax rate Average tax rate Administration/Classification of Income Taxes
Step 1: Determining Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) Earned Income-money received by personal effort. Investment Income-money received in the form of dividends, interest, or rent Passive Income-activities in which you do not actively participate. Other Income-Alimony, awards, lottery winning, prizes
Other Items That Impact Income Exclusion-amount not included in gross income. Tax Exempt Income-another name for exclusions-Qualified scholarships and fellowships where money is used for tuition, fees, supplies, and equipment, VA payments Tax Deferred Income-income that will be taxed at a later date Adjusted Gross Income (AGI)-gross income after certain reductions have been made Tax Shelters-immediate tax benefits and a reasonable expectation of a future financial return (IRA's Keogh's)
Taxes on Earnings Social Security 7.65% Income Tax Federal tax State tax in all but 7 states Alaska Florida Nevada South Dakota Texas Washington Wyoming
The Marginal Tax Rate Affects Your Final Decision $3,650 personal exemption is not taxed $5,700 standard deduction is not taxed Next $8,350 of income is taxed at 10% Next $25,600 of income is taxed at 15% Remaining $16,700 of income is taxed at 25% 0 + 0 + $835.00 + $3,840.00 + $4,175 Gross Income = $60,000 Taxes = $8,850 Marginal Tax Rate = 25%
State, Local and Total Income Tax Bracket Total Income Tax Bracket = Federal + State – (Federal x State) Mike's federal tax bracket is 28% and his state income tax bracket is 7 percent. His total income tax bracket is: 28% + 7% - (28% x 7%) =.35 -.02 =.33 or 33%
Adjusting Interest Rates After Tax Interest Rate = Interest Rate x (1- Marginal Tax Rate) If you pay 10% interest on a $1,000 loan your interest payment is $100. But if that interest is deductible and you're in the 28% tax bracket, you save 28% of $100 or $28 in taxes. So, counting your tax savings, you've paid only $72 in after tax interest or 7.2% of $1,000..10 x (1-.28) =.10 x.72 =.072 or 7.2%
How We Pay Taxes
Eight Steps in Calculating Your Income Taxes Step 1 Total Income Subtract exclusions Step 2 Subtract adjustments to income. Step 3 Subtract standard deduction or total itemized deductions. Step 4 Gross Income Adjusted Gross Income Subtotal Taxable IncomeSubtract value of exemptions Step 5 Apply tax table or tax-rate schedule to determine liability. Step 6 Final tax liabilitySubtract tax credits Step 7 Calculate balance owed or refund. Step 8
Step 2: Computing Taxable Income Deduction-an amount subtracted from AGI to arrive at taxable income. Standard deduction ($5,700/single in 2010) Itemized deduction Exemption-a deduction from AGI for yourself, your spouse, and qualified dependents ($3,650 in 2010)
Step 3: Calculating Taxes Owed Use your taxable income in conjunction with the appropriate tax table or tax schedule. Marginal tax rate-the tax on the last dollar of income. Average tax rate-total tax due divided ty your taxable income. Tax credit-amounts subtracted from the amount of tax owed.
The Progressive Nature of the Federal Income Tax-2010 If your taxable income is: Over: But not over --The tax is: Of the amount over-- $0$8,350------------ 10%$0 8,35033,950$835.00 + 15%8,350 33,95082,2504,675.00 + 25%33,950 82,250171,55016,750.00+ 28%82,250 171,550372,95041,754 + 33%171,550 372,9650----------108,216 + 35%372,950 If your filing status is Single The Tax Rate Schedule is shown so you can see the tax rate that applies to all levels of taxable income. It is not used to figure ones' taxes.
Tax Credit Versus Tax Deduction $100 tax credit reduces your taxes by $100 $100 tax deduction reduces taxes by your tax bracket. For instance, if a person is in the 25% tax bracket it would reduce your taxes by 25%

This afternoon Florida Pearl, the favourite for next month's Cheltenham Gold Cup, will make the journey north from the Mullins family stables in Co Carlow to Leopardstown racecourse on the fringe of suburban Dublin to contest the Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup. And though crunch time is probably an unfortunate expression to use in connection with a horse who was on the floor last time out, the three-mile race does mark the final opportunity for the magnificent-looking seven-year-old to prove he is as good at the sharp end of senior competition as every man-jack in his native land hopes he might be.
The Irish love a good horse, and love to love one. But their erstwhile darling Danoli has once again succumbed to injury and the collective gaze is now fixed five miles down the road to the other side of Bagenalstown. But this latest may turn out to be a different kind of hero worship. Danoli was styled the people's champion, the little fellow from the wrong side of the tracks who overturned all sorts of odds. He was gutsy and gallant and a winner, but had no pretensions to joining the immortals. Florida Pearl, though, immaculate of lineage and looks, the prince to his pauper, may just be the real thing. Oh, not as good as Arkle, nothing can be. But the words "the best since" are being whispered abroad.
And his trainer Willie Mullins' heart is just starting to beat that bit faster. This is a down-to-earth horseman who acknowledges that in the greater scheme of things there are more important issues than which equine can run and jump the fastest. But he also recognises the passions that the resolution of that question can invoke, not least in his own breast. "A horse like this one is what we are all striving for," he said. "And when you're lucky enough to get it, you enjoy it. And you hope, that although things in sport so often go wrong, that this time they won't."
In Irish eyes a good horse is a better one if properly supported, particularly at Cheltenham. Florida Pearl has already obliged twice as a banker at the holy of holies, in the bumper two years ago and in the novice staying chasers' championship, the Royal & Sun Alliance Chase last year, his sixth win from six starts.
Mullins, 42, is no stranger to the phenomenon, having been assistant to his father Paddy when Dawn Run loosened the roof of the Prestbury Park grandstand by winning the 1986 Gold Cup, and sent out the last three winners of the Festival bumper, Wither Or Which (whom he rode himself) and Alexander Banquet having sandwiched Florida Pearl. "When an Irish horse goes to Cheltenham with a serious chance," he said, "the trainer and the owner are only the minders. He actually belongs to the Irish people."
Florida Pearl, a white-faced bay standing a good 17 hands, combines the power and strength of one of Ireland's props with the nimblefootedness of a riverdancer. He impressed Mullins from day one. "He looked a fair machine," he said, "with tremendous potential, a big rangy horse with plenty of bone but light on his feet. We were delighted with the speed he showed in the bumper and he has the mental attitude I like, laid back and idle until something takes him on. He's done just about everything he's been asked. I'm sure he's good enough to go the whole way."
Florida Pearl has actually not yet been asked much. The one blot on his copybook, six weeks ago at the scene of today's showdown when he fell at the third-last fence as he was poised to challenge Dorans Pride, came in only his fourth steeplechase. The mistake at a ditch he had already negotiated five times perfectly in races and practice, seemed the result of slightly crossed wires between horse and Richard Dunwoody, in the saddle again today.
Whereas Dawn Run won her races despite, rather than because of, her jumping, the crossing of an obstacle has always been Florida Pearl's strong suit. "He is the most natural jumper I have ever come across," said Mullins. "And his recent schooling has been excellent. We've asked him to go a bit faster than previously and he's been sharp and clever as if he's learned by that mistake."
Florida Pearl's relatively light career so far has been a deliberate ploy. "I know he still has to properly prove himself in senior company. But every time you run there's the risk of injury and you really get only one chance of a horse this good in a lifetime," said Mullins. "So we've put all our eggs in the one Cheltenham basket."
The big horse - for whom the owner Archie O'Leary, a former Irish rugby international, has turned down offers of pounds 400,000 and more - faces a tantalising rematch this afternoon with Escartefigue, only a length and a half behind him at the Festival last year and runner-up since to Teeton Mill in the King George VI Chase.
The final cutting and stitching will not take place for another five and a half weeks but a decisive win today will mean that those who would bestow the mantle of greatness can at least, Augusta tailor-like, take note of Florida Pearl's measurements.
