How To Correct Prominent Ears
Ears that stick out can be a source of embarrassment. It is a problem for both children and adults, male and female. This is one reason why the Correction of Prominent Ears is among the top 20 cosmetic plastic surgery procedures performed each year. The two most popular age groups undergoing correction are young children (greater the 5-years-old) and young adults, although it is not unusual to seek Otoplasty as an adult.
If treated at birth, the ear may be able to be reshaped by external splinting. The concept is simple, but splinting needs to be started in the first weeks of life, while the ear's cartilage is still soft. Splinting not often done, as it is hard to keep the required headgear on for the months required. Even with good compliance, sometimes it is still ineffective.
On the other hand,Otoplasty, also known as Ear Pinning, is very effective and is the most common cosmetic ear procedure performed in the U.S. In fact, 20 to 30 thousand Otoplasties are performed in the U.S. each year.
Cosmetic Ear Surgery Video (Otoplasty)
Today's video discusses cosmetic ear surgery also known as Otoplasty. The most common reason for Otoplasty is to reduce the appearance of prominent ears, but there are other reasons for cosmetic ear surgery. Some causes are congenital, while others are acquired.
This Otoplasty Video focuses on two of the most common reasons for the procedure. The first, and most common cause, is congenital: Prominent Ears, while the second reason is acquired: Cauliflower Ears. Prominent ears respond well to reshaping of the natural cartilage with Ear Pinning. Cauliflower ears, on the other hand, require removal of scar tissue caused by trauma.
As always, the patients in the video are included to demonstrate what is possible in selected cases. While educational, this video cannot substitute for an in person consultation with an expert. If you are considering Otoplasty, be certain to seek the guidance of an experienced, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.
What Causes Prominent Ears?
The most common reason for prominent ears is that they stop developing before forming the final fold that tucks the ears back. Without full development of this fold, the upper half of the ear sticks out from the head rather than tucking back alongside the head. Prominent ears may also be caused by an enlarged concha or a concha which is rotated forward. The concha is the hollow in the center of the ear which catches sound and guides it into the ear canal.
How Old Do I Need To Be To Have Otoplasty?
Otoplasty can be safely performed at age five or older, because the ear achieves 85% of its adult size by age five. It is an outpatient procedure which can be completed under local or general anesthesia. After surgery, a head dressing is required to protect the repair until it has healed sufficiently. After the dressing is removed, often a head band is required at night for the first three months to prevent recurrence.
What Causes Cauliflower Ears?
Cauliflower Ears are the result of blunt trauma. They are also known by the sports most likely to cause them: Boxer's Ears or Wrestler's Ears. If the ear is hit hard, but the skin is not cut, blood collects under the skin, separating it from the supporting cartilage. If not drained, the blood hardens, and the convex cauliflower shape becomes permanent, replacing the ear's normal concavity and sometimes affecting hearing. The treatment involves surgical removal of the solid mass of scar left behind. Unfortunately, the skin and cartilage are often damaged, and the ear rarely looks completely normal after correction.
Otoplasty Consultations
If you, or your child, has a problem with the shape of the ears, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon can usually offer a solution. Be certain to find a plastic surgeon, whom is experienced and comfortable with Otoplasty. In the San Francisco Bay Area, call (925) 943-6353 to schedule a private consultation appointment and learn more about the latest treatment options available for you.Previous Post Next Post

Studies in male profiles, from Albrecht Dürer's Vier Bücher von Menschlicher Proportion (Four Books on Human Proportion) (1528) has been transformed by Pablo Garcia into a practise he likes to call Profilography. This is a method that traces an extraction through sequential profiles.
The video takes a little while to get going but once it does, you'll be stunned by what emerges! The simple method Garcia has devised produces a series of incredible side profile shadows that are a work of art in themselves.
His machine is made from 3D printed shells, mounted to laser-cut aluminum structure, rotating on a motorized spindle. The creation was first made in 2008 for exhibition at the University of Michigan.

XL Girls was blessed with Trish Bailey. How did it happen?
"I found you guys," said Trish from Tuscon, Arizona, all of 20-years-old when she came to XL Girls. "I met a lady modeling agent and she said I had a pretty face and wanted to know if I'd be interested in adult modeling. I said yes, because I have no problem with showing my body. She got me in touch with you and here I am. I'm very open to trying new things!"
"I'm very into music, the arts, and I'm a geek girl!" Trish said. "I work tech support, so if we have that stuff in common, that's a good place to start."
Trish appears in several DVDs: Double-Stuffed Plumpers (two guys, one girl), Sleeping Sluts, Triple-X Tit Sex and Buxom Sluts (which features this video).
What's Trish up to today? We don't know but our guess is domestic bliss, family, career and all that settling down stuff that most chicks eventually want to experience.

Easy Felt Curtains for Classroom Storage Crates and Cubes.
So, this year, I'm trying really hard not to spend a ton of money on my classroom. I think last year, I spent well over a thousand dollars, which is kind of silly. This year, I want to totally change my color scheme (from every color known to man in a dizzying melange guaranteed to induce hyperactivity) to teal/lime/black. I'm hoping to accomplish this with spray paint made for plastic (Rustoleum in light blue and lime green) and black background paper. I reallllly want to buy black fabric, but I don't want to spend even more than I'm already spending.
This is part one of how I am uniting my color scheme for (somewhat) cheap this year. I will do more posts when I can actually get into my classroom, which is currently being used for a summer academy,
This is part one of how I am uniting my color scheme for (somewhat) cheap this year. I will do more posts when I can actually get into my classroom, which is currently being used for a summer academy,
I've been asking around for those cruddy wire shelving storage cubes that get put together with the corner connectors. Everybody seems to have some to give away because they fall apart. The trick is to use zip ties to connect them together.
The other issue is they're ugly and you can't hide anything in them. So, I wanted to make curtains for them, but I didn't want to sew. I came up with these easy, fuss-free felt curtains you can use to cover junk in any shelves, crates, or storage cubes.
You will need:
You will need:
- template paper
- felt by the yard in at least two colors
- fabric scissors
- Tacky Glue (I got some in a jar with a little paintbrush - so much easier than squeezing)
- stencil or template for appliques if desired
- ribbon, trim, or bias tape for edges
- twine, ribbon, or zip ties to fasten the curtains
First, measure the opening or side you'd like to cover. Most wire storage cube like this are 14.5" x 14.5". Make a paper template this size. Cut it out.
Next, place it on the main color of felt you are using, and cut around it. You should now have, surprisingly, as piece of fabric that is the same size as your template.
On the contrasting fabric, use the sharpie to stencil the designs you want to put on your felt curtain. I would suggest putting the template on the side of the felt you don't want to see, so that any leftover marker lines are on the back. In other words, put the stencil backward from the way you want it to show up.
Alternatively, you can freehand some letters or a picture. I really didn't feel like trying to make the letters backward, so I just made sure to really get rid of the marker lines when I cut them out.
Lay the cutouts onto the felt and try out different layouts until you find one you like. I suggest leaving the outside 1" of each side empty in case you need to trim off some edges.
Once your layout is how you like it, take the Tacky Glue, paint it on the back of each piece, and stick the pieces where you would like them.
Using the Tacky Glue, apply the border to the edges you would like to cover. I used double fold bias tape. If you decide to use this, and you put the edge inside the tape like I did, I highly suggest gluing the back side first, as it is harder to do the first side and it will get messy. After that, the tape will be stuck in place and it will be easy to do the front. Using ribbon or that trim with the little balls hanging off of it would be easier.
Make three slits in the top edge of your curtain. Be smarter than I was... mark the proper placement for the slits first. I randomly did it, and they were too far down, and not the right distance apart. Hence, the wonky look. You do not want this wonky look... :) Using ribbons or zip ties or fancy cord, connect the top edge of the curtain to the top opening of the storage cube or milk crate. If you have a solid shelf with nothing to attach it to, make a small loop of ribbon for each slit and pass a strip of matching colored duct tape through the loop to tape it to the shelf.
As you can see, I used cheap twine I found in my bedroom closet. Why? Because this wire shelf is actually in my bedroom closet and I am not keeping these curtains in here, and I don't mind throwing away the twine later after I cut it. Those curtains in my closet would be weird, let's face it. I tried to crop my drawers of unmentionables to the right in the photo. I think it worked well!
Continue covering the openings of the shelves and crate with more curtains. Again, measure carefully when making the slits at the top. Look at how silly the top looks! So silly that I tried to mask it out with the lovely, artsy film layout!!
If you're low on cash, you can also make these out of posterboard or those large rolls of butcher paper, and put it through the laminator if you have one to use for free at school. I have a large utility shelf from Wal-mart that is freakishly ugly but holds a ton. I will be using butcher paper with paper cutouts, laminated, as my covers for that, just because it would cost a fortune in felt to cover it.
Hope this works for you! Feel free to link up your curtains so I can see how they turn out!
(Hopefully the tops looks better than mine...)

Full day buggy adventure (single rider) from Reykjavík
Activity: Buggy
Languages spoken: English
Duration: 9 hrs
Difficulty: DifficultMeeting point:
Minimum age: 17
- Available in 2 days
- 6-7 full hours out on the buggy trails
- Sightseeing over Reykjavík with stunning views
- Hafrafell mountain summit, Hafravatn lake
- Exploring the Blue Mountains and Djúpavatn Lake
- Krýsuvik highly active geothermal area
- Lunch on the road
All about the trip
This trip comes in response to our guest's enthusiasm for longer trips that travel a greater distance reaching outside of the expected tourism territory but limited to a one day. The tour is a perfect and unique opportunity to see as much raw nature as possible, both on the landscape above and below (caving included) while reveling in the roar of your buggy. You start driving your buggy on a lonely trail in the backlands of Reykjavik. Following the trail, you will reach Hengill mountain range and Hellisheiðarvirkjun, the power plant for Reykjavik. You follow the trail to a place called "Þúsund vatna leiðir" – "The valley of one thousand rivers". As the name suggests, a lot of splashing and fun is waiting for you. After your lunch break in a cozy little restaurant, you will head to the iconic blue mountains. The trail leads you through a huge lava field with old inactive volcanoes around it. Next stop will be Kleifarvatn lake and Krýsuvik geothermal area. But the fun is not over yet. After a short break, you head out to Vigdísarvellir. Vigdísarvellir, along with Lake Djúpavatn, is part of the high-temperature geothermal area on the Reykjanes Peninsula. You will see spectacular lava formations and with a little bit of luck some of the "hidden people" of Iceland.
Traveling through the trails in the far reaches of the Reykjanes Peninsula, we'll come across a hidden gem tucked in the interior of the rocky lava mountains. Lake Djúpavatn is a perfect stop to appreciate the immense beauty of the day. You'll come to quickly understand how volcanically active Iceland is when we visit our next stop Krýsuvik Geothermal Area. Here there are cracks in the Earth that breathe and bubble with life. The mineral muds and high-temperature water creates a stunning display of Mother Nature's power and beauty. We'll head through another mountainous region to arrive at our final destination, the beautiful town of Hvergerði.Watch on Youtube

The Astros put Woody Williams on unconditional release waivers Saturday, and will likely pay him 6.5 million dollars-his entire salary. Williams was 8-15 with a 5.27 ERA last season and had an 11.32 ERA in spring training this year. Players like Lance Berkman question the decision: "Possibly a bit premature," he said. "The game is completely different in the regular season than it is in spring training, especially from a guy like Woody who has been around the block a few times." Once he clears waivers he can be picked up by another team, but I think he will just retire. In fifteen major league seasons, Williams has spent time with the Blue Jays, Cardinals, Padres, and Astros going 132-116 with a 4.19 ERA.

Cohoes Music Hall
Cohoes, NY
March 18, 2009
by J Hunter
Notes from A Tribute to Lee Shaw which (if I had my way) should have been held at the Kennedy Center, even though Cohoes Music Hall was more than excellent:
QUOTE OF THE NIGHT: Ive been watching Lee Shaw on YouTube all week! former Syracuse resident Dave Solazzo, admitting hed never heard Shaw play before this evening.
A PLETHORA OF RICHES Given that this show started at 7, the guest of honor didnt make it onstage until 9:40, and three groups had played before her, this was a big meal for concertgoers to eat on a school night. That said, theres no way this bill should have been edited, because every act on the bill made sense even Solazzo, who didnt have any background with Lee (unlike Brian Patneaude, Michael Benedict, Joe Barna, and a bunch of other players both onstage and in the audience).
Solazzo is a fantastic interpreter, and his inherent lyricism dovetails with Shaws expressive approach. We also got to see where Solazzo got that lyricism, as his father Mike played bass on a wonderful duo set of standards. Put simply, Papa can play! His bowing gave Monty Alexanders Renewal a lovely harmonic, and he played foil and foundation as his son showed hed not only learned his fathers lessons well, but hed picked up a few tricks of his own.
THE NEXT PHASE CONTINUES A couple of weeks before, Benedicts Jazz Vibes were a few blocks south of the Music Hall, making Bread & Jam Café bounce and bubble. How much difference does a couple of weeks make? Quite a bit, actually. Solazzo was back in the piano chair for this gig, which changed Jazz Vibes aesthetic ever-so-slightly from the aggressive attack Dave Gleason helped incite at Bread & Jam. Much as I love the latter methodology, Solazzo and tenorman Lee Russo are hand-in-glove in the Expressive department: They complete each others musical sentences, and one solo flows effortlessly into the next, even on driving pieces like Bernies Tune and Gingerbread Boy.
This made Julia Donnarummas cameo on Embraceable You all the more captivating, as the outstanding young vocalist took full ownership of Gershwins timeless lyric. Besides, any power lost in translation was easily replaced by Barna, who was ready, willing and able to rumble on the drums all night so much so that Russo got drowned out on a couple of occasions. That said, Michael Benedict Jazz Vibes is becoming one of the most interesting groups in the Capital Region, and their growth curve is definitely something to track.
SURPRISE, SURPRISE (AGAIN!) Ive got to stop being surprised about Brian Patneaude surprising me. Hes been working with a trio matrix for some time, and that format did lend itself to this almost-all-acoustic evening. And although Im used to Brians seemingly depthless range, the understated beginning to Drop brought me up short. Drop debuted on Patneaudes latest disc Riverview, and is another of his textbook jazz funkathons. Although the energy level definitely shot up as the tune progressed, the more personal arrangement gave him the chance to really get his nuance on.
Patneaude took that even further when he made his own tribute to the guest of honor with a lovely workup of Shaws Blue Hyacinth, following it with a breathy, mournful take on Brian Blades Through the Valley. Patneaude prefaced his closing tune by detailing Lees first lesson to him: Never bring music onstage. That said, he said sheepishly, this is a new tune
At which point Danny Whelchel reached down next to his drum kit and triumphantly held up a set of sheet music. (PS The tune is called Double Trio, and it rocks. And that is no surprise.)
HONOREE? YES. SPECTATOR? NOT SO MUCH After Cohoes Mayor John McDonald III declared Lee Shaw Day and 88.3 The Saint GM Darrin Scott presented her with a massive bouquet of roses, Shaw was visibly overcome, both by the honor and the prolonged standing ovation she got from the packed house. After trying to form some kind of acceptance speech, she blurted, I think Id better play! And play she did. At most tribute shows, the guest of honor maybe does one number, if that. Shaw (who could make the Energizer Bunny yell Time out!) did a full set of the straight-no-chaser, trad trio jazz shes been doing for over five decades.
She cooked tasty chestnuts like Fats Navarros Fats Blues and Ahmad Jamals Night Mist. She did an outstanding interpretation of Jeff Siege Siegels Shifting Sands and paid tribute to Siegel and Rich Syracuse, her longtime rhythm section. The biggest luminaries Ive ever been with, she informed us, Im with now. And then there was her own music, and the stories that went with them how Blossom was inspired by the short winter and the long blooming season; and how Blues 11 has 11 measures instead of 12 or 16, like most blues tunes have. Thats how it ended up, she said off-handedly, So I said Okay. It was familiar, it was friendly, and it was funny, too: When Siegel asked for a raise at one point, Shaw retorted, Im not AIG!
LAST WORDS The Saint could have gone the usual route for a fundraising concert: Get a national name, throw in a local group to keep early-arrivers amused, and then go count the box office. Instead, they not only kept it an all-local show, but they produced a solid tribute to a true Capital Region treasure. Props to everyone at Siena and Cohoes Music Hall, and big love to Lee Shaw, who is simply the best and all the best people know it.

Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier, both 12, are charged with first-degree intentional homicide
"Who did that to you?" a bicyclist in Waukesha, Wisconsin, asked the 12-year-old girl he found bloodied and lying near a wooded area.
His words were captured on a recording of the 911 call he made, which has now been released.
The cyclist explained to the 911 operator that the girl told him she'd been stabbed multiple times.
"Is she awake?" the operator asked, "Is she breathing?"
"Yes, she's breathing," the cyclist said. "She says she can take shallow breaths. She's alert."
Was there anyone around, a possible assailant? the operator asked.
"I don't see anybody," the cyclist answered.
Police say they have the suspects who attacked the girl, stabbing her 19 times. They were her friends, authorities say, two other 12-year-olds: Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier.
Geyser and Weier had concocted a plan to kill their friend so that they could impress a ghoulish character called Slenderman, according to authorities.
Weier explained to police that Slenderman was the leader of a web site called creepypasta and in order to please him, a follower had to kill a person, according to a criminal complaint in the case.
In reality, Slenderman is a fictional character and Internet meme that appears in horror stories, videos and images.
"Both suspects had a fascination with a fictitious character that often posted" to websites dealing with stories about death and horror, Waukesha's police chief Russell Jack has said.
Geyser and Weier were arrested hours after the victim was discovered, according to the complaint. They have been charged with attempted first-degree intentional homicide, according to court documents filed Monday.
The two are being charged as adults and appeared in court Monday where bail was set at $500,000 for each, Waukesha County District Attorney Brad Schimel said.
Waukesha police Capt. Ron Oremus told CNN Wednesday that investigators are searching through digital evidence including iPads and cell phones.
Anthony Cotton, Geyser's attorney, told CNN Tuesday that he's spoken briefly with his client. She is housed at a juvenile facility for females, he said.
Her family is in "shock," the lawyer said, adding that he expected Geyser to undergo a mental evaluation.
Attempts to contact an attorney for Weier have not been successful.
The condition of the victim has been updated to fair at Waukesha Memorial Hospital, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported Wednesday.
Brother says sister loved Slenderman
Weier's older brother, William, told the Daily Mail Wednesday that he knew about his sister's interest in the character Slenderman.
She liked to watch online videos about the spooky character with long tentacle-like arms and a blank face, said William Weier, a makeup artist who works for a local variety show.
"If you looked at my younger sister you'd see a normal, happy 12-year-old," he told the Mail. "She's just got a couple of weird interests. Personally, I think she found Slenderman on YouTube, took an interest and then read up on it."
Anissa Weier also liked the web site creepypasta.com, her brother explained to the Mail.
Creepypasta is a play on the term "copypasta," which is derived from the keyboard action "copy-paste." Creepypasta is horror fiction written with the Web in mind and, often, comes in a style that makes it look like a news or true crime story.
On Tuesday morning, a lengthy statement about the Wisconsin case appeared on www.creepypasta.com.
The statement expressed condolences for everyone involved and stressed that the site does not condone or encourage violence in any way. But it also noted that "it's hard to justify pinning blame on an entire genre of writing."
"She loved Creepypasta, she loved the Slenderman stories, just anything a bit creepy," William Weier reportedly said. "But I don't see why it changed from dream to reality."
Planning an attack
Weier and Geyser attended the same middle school as the victim and had a sleepover at the home of one of the suspects Friday night, according to the police chief.
According to the criminal complaint, the suspects had been planning the attack since February.
They first thought to kill the victim by placing duct tape over her mouth while she was sleeping and stabbing her in the neck, the complaint says.
They also considered killing her in a park bathroom where there was a floor drain that could make cleanup easier, the complaint says.
The girls ultimately decided to carry out the attack in the park while playing a game of hide-and-seek.
"As they left for the park … (the victim) was walking in front of them and Geyser lifted up the left side of her white jacket and displayed the knife tucked in her waistband," the complaint says. "Weier stated she gave Geyser a look with wide eyes and, when asked what that meant, Weier stated, 'I thought, dear god, this was really happening.' "
When can kids understand reality vs. fantasy?
'One millimeter away' from death
The victim was stabbed near her heart, and she was "one millimeter away from certain death," the complaint says.
When the bicyclist found her, the girl pleaded, "Please help me. I've been stabbed."
She was in extreme pain and could only answer yes or no questions, the complaint says.
Authorities searched for the two other girls, and a sheriff's officer found them walking near Interstate 94, Jack said.
He declined to say whether the suspects had blood on their clothes, but added: "There was evidence that was readily apparent when the two were taken into custody."
That evidence included a large kitchen knife inside a purse, according to the complaint, which Geyser identified as one of her mother's old purses.

Yesterday my pencils arrived, hurrah! So I could finally draw the face of my new Pippi-girl. As soon as I finished the drawing I will post it. I feel a lot better now!
To answer the question of Roberto (and maybe also for some of the new readers of this blog): yes, my drawings are big. 150 x 230 cm, if you want to see the proportions, take a look at this post.
6 comments:
Glad you can start working on your new Pippi.ReplyDelete
I would love to see your drawings personally.
OK, this is HUGE!ReplyDelete
I can not believe it, my drawings have, just 15 x20 centimeters (:
Céline, you are among my most admired people!
I like the red line provides extra drama to the drawing,
maybe contrasts the image of a girl, tender, sweet,
with red color, puts some conceptual distance, I do not know.
(sorry, I hate doing analysis of the works produced by an artist)
Thanks for stopping by. and for your comment.
I just, I put one word after another :)
oh céline, wie gut, dass du deine stifte so schnell bekommen hast! ich finde es manchmal auch ganz schrecklich, wenn ich das passende material nicht habe.ReplyDelete

cannot wait for the complete Pippi action!ReplyDelete

Has the Affordable Health Act affected your tax liability for 2017?
Here is a list of things you will want to bring to your tax appointment. A few extra minutes of preparation before we meet can translate to significant tax savings. You may not need everything on this list. Please do not stress-out over trying to bring everything to the appointment. We want to complete your return as quickly as possible and make the experience as painless as possible.
Affordable Care Act Paperwork
The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, became law on March 23, 2010, and the tax effects finally will be felt in 2015. There are many new forms and documentation requirements, and some taxpayers will discover that they no longer can use the tax return they are accustomed to completing because of a subsidy to buy health insurance.
Under Obamacare's individual shared responsibility provision, you must let the IRS know when you file that you had the required minimum essential health care coverage or were exempt. If you have qualified coverage, you'll get a Form 1095-C from your employer or a Form 1095-B from the insurer.
Social Security Card(s) (Taxpayer and Spouse)
If you have your Social Security card, bring it with you to the appointment. If you have changed your name (due to marriage, divorce, etc.), let us know which last name the Social Security Administration has for you. Bring the Social Security Card and date of birth for each of your children
Current Driver's License(s)
We will need your driver's license to verify your identity.
Last Year's Federal and State Tax Returns
If you are not a prior A&A client, please bring a copy of last year's income tax return with you. Some information from the prior year's return(s) could be helpful in calculating this year's tax return.
Wage Statements – Form W2
For employee income, you will receive a Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, from each of your employers. If you have not received this form by the beginning of February, you will need to contact your employer. Employers are required to send W-2s by January 31. Bring all Wage Statements with you when you come in to have your income tax return prepared.
Child Care Expenses and Provider Information
Do you pay someone to provide care for your children while you work, or search for work? You may qualify for a tax credit of up to 35% of your expenses. You will need to bring the provider's name, address and Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN). This can be a Social Security Number (if the provider is an individual) or an EIN number. We will need the total amount of expenses you paid during the year.
Medical, Eye Care and Dental Expenses
Do you itemize your deductions? If so, then medical, eye care, dental expenses and premiums paid for health insurance may be deductible, if your total expenses for the year are greater than 7.5% of your Adjusted Gross Income (total income, minus federal adjustments allowed). Review these expenses with your preparer to determine whether you qualify for this deduction.
Charitable Contributions – Cash and Non-Cash
Have you made charitable contributions during the past year? Cash contributions to your church, Salvation Army, Goodwill and other charitable organizations can be deductible, if you itemize your deductions. Bring a record for contributions you made directly and through employer withholdings (such as United Way). You MUST keep the written acknowledgments from the charitable organization. Non-cash charitable donations (vehicles, clothing or real property), are valued at the fair market value. You should receive a written receipt or acknowledgment of these contributions from the charitable organization. Keep records of your contributions and provide your preparer with your contribution amounts at the time we prepare your income tax return.
Mortgage or Home Equity Loan Interest Paid – Form 1098
If you itemize your deductions, you may be able to deduct your qualified mortgage interest and/or home equity loan interest. Points may be deductible. You should receive Form 1098 by January 31, which shows the interest you paid in the previous year. If you do not receive this form, the information may be found on your mortgage bill. Bring Form 1098 (or mortgage bill) when you come in to have your taxes prepared. If you do not receive Form 1098, or the information is not on your mortgage invoice, call your mortgage holder directly.
Real Estate or Personal Property Taxes
If you itemize your deductions, you can deduct amounts paid for real estate and personal property taxes from your Adjusted Gross Income. Bring proof of tax payment in when you come to have your income taxes prepared. If your mortgage company pays real estate taxes for you from an escrow fund, they will send proof of this payment on Form 1098 by January 31. To get the amount paid for Personal Property Taxes contact your taxing authority and ask them to give you the amount paid during the year.
Record of Purchase or Sale of Real Residence
You need to report the sale of your main residence only if you have a gain for which part of the gain is taxable. If you owned the home and lived in it as your primary residence for at least two years, you may be able to exclude up to $250,000 ($500,000 if Married Filing Jointly) of the gain from your income.
Unreimbursed Employment-Related Expenses
If you have necessary job expenses (required uniforms, protective clothing, employment agency fees, dues to professional organizations, etc.) for which your company did not reimburse you, you may be able to deduct these expenses. Keep records of your expenses and bring that information in to your appointment.

Unemployment Income – Form 1099-G
Did you receive state unemployment compensation? If so, it should be included as income on your return. The State should send you Form 1099-G by January 31. Contact your state office if you have not received your Form 1099-G.
Sales of Stocks or Bonds – Form 1099-B
If you sold Stocks or Bonds bring Form 1099-B to your appointment, along with any brokerage statements (showing dates bought and sold), confirmation receipts (showing cost basis and fees paid), so we can get you the lowest tax rate available for your situation.
