I have a house I bought for 175,000. I lived In it for 2 years before I moved. I rented it out after that for about 3 years. Then it sat empty while I remodeled It before putting it on the market. Owned it for about 6 years, rented it out for 3. Sold it for 220,000. Will I be paying capital gains on it? I keep finding that if you live in the house for 2 of 5 years as long as it's under 250,000 profit I wouldn't but when I went to my tax person it's showing I need To pay $8,000 in taxes from the sale and I just Don't get that.
I live with my girl friend she's 67 i'm 64. Her house is in her name only, we plan to sell.
I heard we could use an exemption to get the $500k capital gains break as we meet all other requirements, but we lived together over the past 3 years.
Anyone heard of this–for live in partners?
If I have little records of the expenses, and no record of the purchase, what do I do when I sell?
Is there exclusion if ownership test was not met (under 2 years), but the sale was due to job relocation? Also what property section classification would this be considered?
The capital gain rules when selling a primary residence has been changed from living in the home for two of last five years to five of last eight years. Article requires amending.
You're welcome to live in your house for five of the past eight years, but you might regret the last three years if you wanted to move. Feel free to check the rules again.
that million – all of it was going to go into the purchase on a house of like value – a Million.
I recently sold my house. I refinanced multiple times over the years, paying points multiple times. Are the points for all of the refinances included in the cost to buy the house?
I'm 75 and selling my house this year. Purchased for $400000 and selling for $1,6000,000. Unfortunately I've refined to pull money out many times over the years so now owe $700,000. I'm not married so will only get the $250,000 exclusion. Property is a townhouse with HOA so have not done miluch in improvements. Who would be the best person to figure my capital gains? An accountant or RE attorney specializing in taxes?
I am looking at possibly selling a piece of property that is my primary residence. I will make a few million dollars if I sell it. It will be long-term capital gains. Is my understanding correct, that if my wife and I have an income of under $77,200, we will pay zero taxes on the capital gains?
I just sold my home and trying to figure out my tax bill in NY which might be significant. I am a widower who jointly owned my home with my wife who passed 7 years ago. The home was also hit hard by Hurriance Sandy and was in a presidential disaster area. I received money from FEMA and NYS but the money wasn't enough to cover all the damage. I lost a lot of personal items in the hurricane. My wife and I made a number of improvements over owning the home for 40 years but unfortunately don't have all the records due to Hurricane Sandy. Is there a way to deduct some of these home improvements as well as personal items under casualty losses. Thank you.
Hi! Hoping you could help, if instead of a house it was multifamily and the capital gain was +2.5m what can I do in order to lower my taxes if I already gave up my 1031 ex (being a seller's market at the time).
We moved across the country from Vegas and turned our previous primary home into a rental July of 2017. Our net profit will be less than the 250k/500k rule. We initially thought as long as we sold within two years we could avoid capital gains. I was told by our new cpa and a financial planner that once we turned our primary into a rental we would be hit with capital gains and not fall into the two year window. After reading this article now I am not sure. What is correct. Can you clarify? Thank you.
I believe my article is right. Please send this article to your CPA to read. And then fire your CPA if you're paying him her money.
And if I'm wrong, please let me know!
We just sold our home of 32 years. During that time, we refinanced three times. Do any of the expenses count in the basis other than the last refinancing? I remember your fence example; is this similar?
I'm getting married this year and my fiancé owns a condo that has gone up in value, slightly less than the 250,000 limit. We did not live together beforehand. Does us getting married preclude him from the excemption if he sells it this year since I have not lived in it for 2 years? If neither of us live in it after we get married, when does he need to sell it by to still qualify for the exemption?
Yes, he still gets the $250K limit if he's lived in the house 2 out of the past 5 years. You must live wit him for 2 out of the next 5 years to get a $500K tax free benefit.
If neither of you live in the condo, you've got 5 years max until your tax free profits run out.
Can 2 joint owners get $500,000 capital gains exemptions when they sell the house that they bought together?
Or the exemption rule only applies to married couple?
Love this site and the incredible posts.
Having recently sold a home for a rather significant 'gross profit' I made sure to do all of my research to make sure I adjusted the basis and the costs of selling appropriately.
I'm all for following the tax code and making sure to not pay an extra dime – fair is fair.
But fair is not the same as unintentional (or even more so willful) fraud.
As such, IMO, it's important to make sure to follow the IRS guidelines on this topic.
In that publication it clearly delineates which items from a home purchase (and sale) are allowed and not allowed to be factored into basis or sale costs.
Look, we each can file the tax return we want to file, and simply think of it as a negotiation with the IRS, but it would be factually incorrect to state that all selling and buying costs listed in this post and things like repainting can be factored into how to determine the net cap gains (ie selling and basis adjustments).
Paying our lawful and full share of taxes is part of the deal we make living in this country and the deal we make with our other taxpayers. To each their own, but remember each dollar you don't pay that you are supposed to pay has an impact on everyone else. Will the IRS catch you? Probably not. I just hope that isn't the advice being given in this post.
I bought my city condo 4.5 years ago and lived there as my primary residence for 1.5 years. I had a fire in my condo that resulted in total loss to the entire 7-unit building. Unfortunately due to incompetence and malfeasance on the part of the GC it has taken almost 3 years to rebuild. In the meantime, I have had to find alternative living arrangements. Do any accountants have opinions on how the 2 out of 5 year rule would apply to my case if I wanted to sell today?
Great summary Sam! I can't think of much else, always scan your receipt right away to a place where you process it later, or put paper receipts in a special place in your wallet, purse etc., then record and file them. If I make an internet purchase i record those in the spreadsheet right away (also remember staging is deductible). I scan with the Dropbox app then record them whenever I file my scans.
Also, working with landscapers/contractors. A lot of those dudes don't like paperwork, especially if its a one man shop: you gotta make them do it. It's already easy to get confused when they come back on 15 different days. Keep things real clear with them and well recorded. Demand a daily log of what was done, and if they are time and materials, close out every 2 visits or so. You don't want a huge bill to arrive that's impossible to verify. This helps you keep records of all the payments. I've had to write the receipt out then have them sign it because they just want to get paid in cash and do verbal estimates. Make them write you up one of those receipts on a form/pad with carbon copy, and take a pic of it and the check, straight into dropbox. If they really want cash, make the check to 'cash' (this can be a red flag though, that they might not be licensed bonded and insured.) If you get this system down you will never have to rely on a fallible memory.
I also number all the electronic files by date: "180419-contractors-drainage" etc. so that they sit in the electronic folder in chronological order and are easier to reconcile with the spreadsheet.
Also, this is a huge tip that I forgot this time around, dang. Open a new credit card (points!) or even just a little checking account and pay for EVERYTHING FROM DAY ONE religiously on that card that is deductible for the house. I even write on the card what it's for in sharpie, because remodeling involves a lot of details!
Great article on the details of expenses of buying/selling a home and capital gains tax impact.
The article and some comments here mention the 2 out of 5 years.
This might be a silly question, but how can you NOT own a home before you sell it? Should this be "lived in 2 out of the 5 years"? Or am I missing something?
It could be clarified in the reverse: you are allowed to have rented it 3 out of the last 5 years, and still have it considered your home for the purposes of this tax rule.
I have never been questioned but I've only ever sold 1 home.
In your example yes, if you improve your home with an awesome new fence then the cost of that fence can be added to your basis. The point I was trying to make is that if in order to build that awesome new fence, you first had to remove a fence that you had built in Year 1 after you bought the home, you have to subtract out the cost of that fence (assuming you had added it to your basis to begin with).
Your basis is $120,000, not the combined $130,000, as the Year 1 fence is no longer part of your home.
The key part being "still part of your home at the time of sale." I don't work for the IRS but I am a CPA.
Right, anything you do that keeps the house at the same level of usability/value is excluded from getting a tax writeoff. Such as replacing that hot water heater with one that is not a big upgrade, fixing a crack in a driveway that cracked while you were living there (as opposed to having the old concrete drive pulled up and replaced with pavers), and so on.
The deduction is for improvements. Landlords do have the advantage there as they can deduct them as a business expense. They can also depreciate the property (which seems somewhat odd, at first, as most real estate in most markets only appreciates in the long run, unless it's a trailer home or some such). On the other hand, most places give resident-owners a partial tax exclusion, sometimes called a homestead exemption, which may also be even better if the resident-owner is a veteran, disabled person, or a senior citizen. Not a CPA but I do have an MBA, heh.
Good stuff Brian. Thanks for sharing this example.
Luckily I think it's a pretty rare example! Hopefully, do it right the first time.
Apologies if I missed it in your article, but it's a potentially expensive oversight not to mention the partial exclusion. See page 5 of https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p523.pdf.
Read it carefully to make sure it applies, but if you don't meet the Eligibility Test, you may still qualify for a partial exclusion of gain if the main reason for your home sale was a change in workplace location, a health issue, or an unforeseeable event. IF you qualify for the partial then you apply a formula that basically prorates the time you were in residence, owned the house, or the time elapsed since you last used this exemption (whichever is smallest). For example, a single person forced to take a job more than 50 miles away after only six months in the home can still exempt $62,500.
Don't feel too badly. My accountant didn't know about it either and just about gave me a heart attack when I saw my proposed tax return. Saved myself a bundle when I pointed this out.
So far as the 1,000,000 dollar figure for profit? In your example half of that was for upkeep and improvements which, treating the house as an investment, is pretty much necessary. For a myriad number of reasons, Uncle Sam (and society in general) should not want to encourage people to rent over owning, which it would be doing if landlord-owners could claim these expenses while tenant-owners could not. As for the exclusion? Used to be you had to use all the money from a sale within six months on a new home or the unused portion would get taxed. This came down unnecessarily hard on people moving from expensive areas to inexpensive areas, old people who were moving to an assisted care arrangement, couples looking to downsize (especially after all the kids moved out), and created all kinds of special rules dealing with people moving overseas to work, et cetera.
One point of clarification I would add: if you make an improvement to your house, like say a $10,000 fence in Year 1 – that gets added to your cost basis; however, if 15 years later you replace the fence because it has rotted and put a new fence in for $20,000 – you can add the $20,000 to your cost basis but you must subtract the $10,000 you previously added for the replaced fence. So your net increase in basis is $10,000. You don't get to double count.
Ah, but you who is to save you didn't improve your house with a new security deterrent next level fence with pre-installed cameras and electronic shocks? This is a material improvement.
Have you ever had the IRS question you on a home improvement?
If I read it correctly, as of 2018, if one's taxable income is lower than $38,600 (not including LTCG,) one pays 0% on LTCG.
Is this correct? Any comments?
Aren't income and capital gains two separate things?
only on the first increment of ~30k. the gains push you up into the next bracket. I know, lame.
Sam, with the real estate market being so inefficient in terms of realtors and selling and fees. I think everyone would love to hear or know how you found the right person to sell your place or what can be done to limit costs since it can be so high in a HCOL area where values of properties are so much higher so more costs!
As a homeowner for about a year, I was not keeping meticulous records for this purpose… But I'm sure going to start now before those receipts are lost to the sands of time. I'm sure the appreciation/inflation on a 600k house will make this worth it if I stay long enough and the law doesn't change.
Thanks Samurai for article…..In 2017 we sold rental property gifted by our parents that was fully depreciated prior to the gift date. One CPA advised that there's an existing rule where home improvements can be estimated to determine cost basis. Both parents are deceased so some records are on file but not all. Are you aware of how the estimate process works?
Good post, the only thing I would add is if you are taxed on the sale of a home, you'll need to file a Schedule D and/or a form 8949. This is where you would include "cost basis" which includes the cost of the house plus the cost of any improvements.
Do you get any deduction if you buy a new house using the profit?
I am missing the obvious here. In the example, the homeowner actually spent all that money and hence he/she was able to apply it against the profit. But If she didnt have any of it, then I don't see how she escapes the taxes on the gains.
The deduction is one of the reasons why homeowners spend money to improve their homes. The other reason is to improve the quality of their life while living in the home.
Sometimes you get 80% of your money back on your remodel, sometimes you get 200% back when you expand and the cost of construction is cheaper than the cost to sell.
Now compare the benefits a renter has.
The main point of buying a home is to prove the quality of your life and find stability. If you so happen to make a huge capital gain, that's a bonus, especially if you don't have to pay taxes.
The key here is to borrow the renovation costs (and sell quickly within 2 years) then you have really won. Because you wrote off the expenses (which were incurred but borrowed) and you got the 500K exemption.
We did this on our last rental and paid no taxes on the sale (no exemption, but the expenses were so high (borrowed, on paper) it negated the profits we made, and we walked away with actual profits. We originally did a 1031 exchange which we re-characterized in our taxes to a regular sale once we saw the expenses number match the profit numbers.
Can you actually share some numbers on how you did this with your rental? Did you really make a profit if expenses were so high?
I have a home in Bend Oregon, where San Fran peeps are moving to in LARGE numbers. I conconverted a rental due to tax law changes.
I will most certainly occupy it for 2 years if the tax law did not change to 5 of 8!
Home arbitrage is very real here in Central Oregon with, dare I say, the infestation of Californians. Good for us money wise, very lousy due to changes in the new residents attitudes and lack of Oregon values.
Thanks for the idea of buying in Oregon! What are some Oregon values that we need to adopt before moving up there?
I do not blame any individual for changing values. It is that large cities make all.of us have anonymity and move much faster.
People walk by with salutations, drive like speed doesn't matter, tailgate and have ideas anathema to small town rural life. .No ones fault and your money is welcome here too. Recent article about large tech presence coming here and we see it.
Thanks again for the clarification that the 2 of 5 still stands, boy am I happy!
Edit: People walk by Without salutations. Like saying hello, just an odd but understandable behavior if one comes from bigger citities.
When something breaks it is a repair and that is not a deductible expense. If you fix a hole in your roof for example. If something is a home improvement such as an upgrade, perhaps a new 30 year roof, then that is deductible.
Very thorough post! Keeping detailed records is one of those things that sounds easy but is harder than it seems with all the time that goes by owning a house. When something breaks and needs repairs that tends to be quite stressful and that in itself makes it hard to remember to keep track of all the details of costs, who you hired, when, etc. since you're just focused on getting xyz fixed. Lots to think about as a homeowner but worth it in the long run!
From the perspective of buying a home to live in it, then yes, I think the tax break is fair. To me, buying a home is part of the American dream and the tax break certainly fosters that.
But, from a purely investment perspective, I would disagree and say its not fair. Why incentivize one sort of investment over another? Understood that some time must be spent actually living in the residence but the requirement then should be living in the home full time. Period.
Thanks for sharing the detail. I've been waiting for this one. I thought the 2 out of 5 years were prorated, but I'm glad it isn't. This is what we plan to do with our duplex. We'll move in and live there for a while so we can take advantage of the exception. I really hope it sticks around for a while. Good job!
How goes the home search in Hawaii?
SAS is correct 5 of 8 years to avoid cap.gains in new tax.law!
No, it's still 2 of 5. 5 of 8 was introduced but not passed.
Cool. Which country is this rule for John? Send a link b/c in the US, the proposal did not pass for 2018 and it's still 2 out of the past 5 years.
I am very sorry if I was incorrect.
I will admit I read the entire tax bill at least twice!
I will look again and would be overjoyed if incorrect!
What is the best way not to pay more property taxes than you have to once the renovations are done? I'm putting over $1M into a house but don't want to pay that much in additional property taxes. Is it all based on the assessments? Is there a way to keep this down legally?
Property tax laws are very state and local dependent. You'll need to figure out how it works in your location.
Likely your builder's permits will cause a property reassessment by the govt. Only way to save is not perform warranted improvements, but that is asking for trouble.
In 1998, I added a superfluous window to my attic dormer and was surprised when the assessment jumped dramatically.
you can do a LOT of work without triggering a reassessment. I put about 250k into my home with no reassessment. now, undertaking an addition or something that is obviously a large project may do it, but anything that is resurfacing, basic reinforcements, electrical, painting, redo kitch/bath, walkways, drainage, roof etc etc none of those necessarily trigger one. So conceivably you keep paying same tax the whole way. I think they nudged mine up once.
And Americans say that Europe has a lot of bureaucracy!
This kind of tax code is insane and, as you just shown, it does not net much tax collected either. We have a fixed percentage tax for home transactions, it does not matter who lives in the house or doesn't, or how much they improved it or not, or how much they make or don't. You sell something, you get 100 dollars, you pay x% of those dollars in taxes and you move on. No reason to keep receipts from 20 years ago when you bought a lamp(metaphorically) and improved the house.
The buyer is quite capable to realize how much to pay for the house, and if it's a hovel, you get 10 dollars instead of 100 and the tax is lower.
I'm quite surprised that people in the US put up with this kind of red tape, it has to seriously impact their quality of life in the 6 months before actually selling a house.
If only the US president had to go through 1% of this effort before being allowed to threaten to bomb another country and spark a world war, I think we would all sleep better at night.
I really hope I need to refer back to this post one day. Nobody should pay more in taxes than they have to. I'm perfectly fine with somebody not having to pay taxes on a $1M gain on their primary residence. When you think about it, that gain will likely need to be used to pay for a new residence or rental at an inflated price as well.
If only one person with a $1M gain applies this rule, this post would have a huge impact. Unfortunately, I doubt I'm going to see a > 500K gain on my primary residence anytime soon though.
I thought the lived it in for 2 of 5 years has changed with the new tax law to lived it in for 5 of the last 8 years.
I may be wrong. It seems that was in both the House and Senate bill, but looking on the Internet now (to verify) it may not have passed. May still be 2. Please check.
I hate being wrong but in this case, I'm really glad I was. My job forced me to move from South Florida 2 years ago. Company is doing poor, and I'm entertaining other offers that would require relocation, as well as company maybe moving us again. I had thought that I'd have to wait 5 years to recoup any benefit on the house (as I got it at a good price) but am now very glad to know I don't have to worry about that. Definitely makes me feel better about taking another job with a relocation (on this aspect, family is still another issue).
Whew! Thanks for checking. We plan to move into our rental soon. 2 years is much easier than 5 years.
No doubt it could be a hugeee money maker with the leverage and tax laws in place, just get the timing and general location right and you're golden with a big check coming. For us, it's just work for returns we don't necessarily need. I feel like a gray old goose sometimes instead of a young buck with 3 rentals.
You have forgotten property taxes and insurance?
It's bundled into the $105,000 "Cost To Sell" line item.
What about annual taxes and insurance?
You don't get to deduction annual property taxes and insurance, therefore these are not added to your cost basis. They are an ongoing expense, not an improvement to the property.


For most people, the thought of their children being victims of identity fraud is even more chilling than being a victim themselves.
While children are less at risk for identity fraud than adults, when it happens it can be much more devastating because the fraudulent activity can go undetected for years, making it all that much harder to restore the victim's good name.
A study from ID Analytics found that 140,000 identity frauds are perpetrated on minors each year.

Expect to encounter large herds of elephant at Amboseli National Park. These animals can often be found bathing in the swamps around Lake Amboseli, but your best bet at photographing them with Kilimanjaro as a backdrop is much closer to Kimana Gate .
The hyena seem to like the drainage tunnels beneath the trails, so do keep an eye out for them there.
Consider stopping at the Noomotio Observation Hill along your route, especially for a picnic lunch.

If you're on the hunt for black and white rhinos, the grassy areas right beside the lake seem to be likely spots for good sightings. & if you do see them from afar, be patient and they might very well move nearer – though do be careful as they have been known to attack cars (especially the black species) ;).
Stop by at the Baboon Cliff Viewpoint for excellent views of the lake and of Nakuru town. This would also make for an excellent picnic spot.
Although there are reportedly tree-climbing lions in the park, don't come here with high hopes of seeing them. The vegetation can be quite dense, and there were no rumblings of sightings at all when we were there.

This is an absolutely fantastic game drive. It's a long and tiring day though, so do bring plenty of snacks, water and sun cream.
Be careful when going to the toilet in the wild. Ladies might want to take a friend to check behind the bushes with them before going – and to stand on lookout.
Should any of your drivers decide to annoy a cheetah out of a bush or aggravate a lion into standing up, don't be shy to speak out against this type of harassing behaviour.

Although this game drive starts in the same location as the Oloolaimutia Gate to Mara River Game Drive , it is more limited in scope and is usually done in the early morning and late afternoon (i.e., upon arrival and before leaving).
Be warned that on a cloudy day, the lighting in the early morning and late afternoon can make animal photography a little tricky.
Get an early start on this game drive for the best chances of seeing nocturnal creatures such as hyena.

This is a rare opportunity to cycle on a game drive instead of drive or be driven (although you can choose to drive if you want to). As there are no predators dangerous enough to humans in this national park, you'll have free roam to cycle along the dusty main roads right through its impressive rocky heart. Herds of zebra, antelope and warthog are easy spots among the plains and cliffs, but even small herds of giraffes are found here hiding among the bushes. Unfortunately though, it's not all good news and experiences at Hell's Gate National Park. In fact, it might be a good idea to visit this area before the construction work really takes over.

Although you can expect to see a fair variety and density of wildlife on such a short stretch of road, the experience at Hell's Gate National Park would certainly be lessened in a traditional safari vehicle – try walking or rent a bike from the Elsa Gate Ticket and Information Office or Fishermans Camp !
Watch out for rogue buffalo (especially herds of them) as they don't see too well ;).
If you happen to miss the giraffes along this route, we were advised to head 2 or 3 kilometres up the gorge side of the Buffalo Circuit (any further with bikes would be "tricky"). Indeed, we saw one along this route and then three at the top where the circuit is intersected by a tarmac road.

Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde noted that it is a privilege to be invited and admitted into the academy as a voting member.
Omotola Jalade Ekeinde has given her take on her inclusion into the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as a voting member.
The actress and producer noted that it is a privilege to be invited and admitted into the academy as a voting member.
"It feels amazing to be invited to become a member of the academy and becoming a voting member," the UN ambassador said after her induction into the academy alongside 927 others.
Continuing, Omotola said the opportunity to join the highly revered movie awards academy will translate to better tidings for the Nigerian movie industry, Nollywood.
"To get the privilege of screening all movies entered for the Oscars is huge for me as an artist, and will be useful for Nollywood in the long run," the mother of four said.
The Ondo ceremonial chief was invited by the Academy to become a member in June 2018 alongside filmmaker, Femi Odugbemi from Nigeria.
In a push to boost diversity, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde was announced as one of the new members invited to join the group behind the Oscars film awards.
The actress, alongside Nigerian filmmaker Femi Odugbemi [Battleground, Gidi Blues] are among the 928 people who've been invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science.
Including a 14-year-old actress Quvenzhané Wallis, 86-year-old Russian composer Sofia Gubaidulina, and new members from 59 different countries, this year's invitees marks the academy's largest and most diverse class ever, topping last year's 774 new members, which itself was a jump over the previous year's 684 invitees.

A selection of images of flowers both in the wild and domesticated environments. This might include anything from telephoto shots to macros.
Black and white images put the distraction of colour aside to concentrate on the feeling of the subject, as here with this depiction of this rose and lavender bouquet.
This image was a study in composition of the white flowers of an azalea shrub in the front garden of the house I was visiting. Here, I chose to attempt to find a position where the arrangement of the flowers and leaves of the shrub pulled the viewer's eye through the image in a pleasing manner.
This image is an example of the virtue of patience when taking wildlife photographs and understanding - or learning on the job - a little of the habits of what you are intending to capture. In this case, I'd noticed that this little hover fly paused momentarily before nipping in to pollinate these chive flowers.
This image was taken to show the fine detail that can be seen in the petal structure of a purple lily. The fine vein-like structure is a particular draw to the eye.
This image was taken in the Quiet Garden near Beverley Minster of a purple flower whose petal and stamen detail absolutely captivated me.

Q: How can I list files in exFAT file system from image file? I have created a disk image using FKT Imager of a USB stick with exFAT partition. I want to make a list of all folders and files on the image.
My exFAT starts at LBA=6146048 with Sector size=512 that gives me offset=3146776576. Below is a screenshot of the exFAT Main Boot Region with RootDirectoryCluster in red as described at
https://www.ntfs.com/exfat-boot-sector.htm.

*

*96 (0x60)    4   RootDirectoryCluster

exFAT Main Boot Region

So from here I get this:
firstClusterOfRootDirectoryDec=4 HexLittleEndian = 04000000 HexBigEndian=00000004
However when I look at the offset 4 clusters below I only see 0's. My offset is then (6146048512)+(4512)=3146778624.

As many entrepreneurs in the area know, keeping up with the responsibilities related to running a small business can be extremely hard to do. This is true even for the one-person operations that so many small companies start out as, with their owner-operators handling everything from marketing and accounting to the actual provision of products and services. As a business begins to grow, staying on top of the associated responsibilities can become even more difficult, especially when the hiring of employees means that a whole host of new duties must be dealt with.
In many cases, it makes sense for the owners of such businesses to pause for a moment and ask how strategic investments might make life easier. Trying to stay on top of every last business-related detail without outside assistance might feel noble to some, but the reality is that it often become counter-productive. In many cases, business owners do better to arrange for outside help that will allow them to focus more on the things they are most effective at.
HR Services in Charleston, WV often represent an especially attractive opportunity of this kind. Human resources is a specialized and complicated enough domain that mastering it is really only possible for those who devote themselves full-time to the pursuit. At the same time, every business will eventually have needs of this sort, meaning that assigning some of this intricate work to those best equipped to handle it can be highly rewarding.
Working with HR services in Charleston, WV also tends to be simple enough to do that it does not need to entail excessive disruption or costs associated with bringing a second party up to speed. Many HR needs can be taken care of in transparent, direct enough ways that little preparation or cooperation will be required, with this fact being another important reason for why this option so often makes so much sense.
Local HR service companies like ASI Inc LLC WV. also do a good job of keeping costs down, further improving the value propositions they present to clients. When all these facts are honestly accounted for, many local business owners do find that having someone else take care of HR duties makes excellent sense.

How could I have been so stupid? Why did I steal that pack of garbage cigarettes from my friend's house, and why did I think this one girl in high school would want them? I didn't smoke, and I didn't really want to date a smoker girl, but I did want to be accepted.
Why did I egg on my best friend that one time, that nearly caused us to run someone over?
Why can't I stop my brain from this weird, off-kilter recall?
There are others who seem to recall a rose-colored past, where all the current woes are really hard and it was so much easier back then, before, in the past. I remember some awesome times, sure. I remember a pickup game of soccer in the blazing summer heat of Kalamazoo Michigan (and the straw-yellow, rain-thirsty grass on the uneven field) where I deked out some noobs and scored a goal all by my lonesome. Since I played well so seldom, I grab onto this, and 44 sweet ounces of Powerade from the local convenience store (for a buck twenty-nine) afterwards, and how it was so good after ninety minutes of sweltering soccer.
I also remember being left alone while my best friend went to sleep over at his girlfriend's one of those trips. I mean, heck, it was a three hour drive out there, and I went only once every six months or so… though at one point, it was monthly, with another buddy, and we were cranking out comics in my best friend's creaky, drafty K-zoo house. But when I drove out there alone, why did he abandon me? I guess it's not a big deal, sleeping in an awful dorm room hours away from the familiar, just for a few hours, but these things are stuck with me.
It's important for writing; I want to capture exactly the right feeling, the discomfort of Halloween carrying around a real, heavy rapier when I should've just left it at home and had two free hands. I want to remember what the devil I was thinking, what happened later, and how everyone reacted. This sort of recall is great for scene-setting and making characters come to life.
As a dad, it's crucial. Here it's important, because you only have so many modes of comparison for your parenting. Parenting blogs are mostly sanctimonious garbage, preachy and self-righteous. I don't trust any parenting blogs that sound like they know what the hell they're talking about; childhood is so different for people who live across the street from each other, let alone across the state or across the country. And here's the crucial part: I live in a multi-cultural, multi-racial family where all my childhood choices and challenges have to be carefully re-examined for any value and judged against the current context in order to try to produce a good kid.
So my parents. I have to remember the good and the bad. Don't get me wrong, they're phenomenal people, I love them, they love me. My father is an introvert who's not shy, a weird paradox that makes for a man who can talk your ear off alone or at a quiet card table, but who turns into a phantom at large family get-togethers. He worked 12-16 hour days throughout the spring, summer and fall, then was laid off each winter and spent almost every day at home. My mother is harsh, excitable, caring, energetic, a workaholic, and at once a terrible teacher and an amazing teacher. Weird right? How could she teach me to do dishes or laundry or being a decent human being to others perfectly well, but skip out on politics, or money management?
Now that they're on the table, I will say that I understand everything they failed to do. Nobody can be perfect, nobody should aspire to be perfect, and they had three other children on their hands, along with me. I understand the 'I have never been so embarrassed' or the threats to have me wait in the van outside Ponderosa if I couldn't behave like a civilized human being.
I remember some good times, but the bad is crucial too. Reconstructing my childhood and the influence of friends' parents on me helps me to consider how I'm doing with my son, and what is important. Should I follow in my parents' footsteps on discipline? They rarely ever raised their hands against me or my siblings. My mother was so busy I had days and days of free time, outside riding bikes and breaking glass bottles and getting yelled at by strange adults and climbing trees. The times trying and trying to participate in sports, even though I was seriously uncoordinated and not very interested. The quest to earn an Eagle Scout patch because my father had been unable to do so thirty plus years before (and my brothers were unable to do so… it looked like I was the only one who might make it).
Lucky for me, none of this has turned into hideous trauma. I'm going to see my folks over the summer and it will be incredible. But along the way, I use my parents' talk to inform myself that I shouldn't use guilt on my son. I use my mother's patience to tell myself I ought to remain patient as well. I use my father's silence as a tool at times… my son doesn't need me constantly prattling in his ear. There are silent, observing times.
It's crucial to me to explain why whenever I bark at him to stop right now! It's just as important for me to explain unfairness, when other parents give their children heaps of praise or toys that my son cannot have due to money, or the silliness of praising him for tying his shoes. He needs congratulations for thinking outside the box, constructing unique LEGO things, sharing with his friends when no adult asked him to beforehand. He doesn't need me shaking pom poms whenever he points out a flower or sees an airplane.
No one can tell you exactly how to raise your children, nor should they. However, my wife and I routinely have conversations about the correct way to raise my son, and the potential impact of some seemingly tiny occurrences. So he started sitting at the back of the kindergarten bus? So what? Does it mean anything?
I helped a lady edit and format a book recently, an author, I guess I ought to call her now. She's written a book on relationships, and in there is a term called the 'good-enough' parent. It may belong to her, and it may not, but it struck a cord. As a parent you have to try your best, and in doing so you will fall short of being the perfect parent. The best you can hope for is to be good enough to turn your new human into a good person, an achiever, someone you can be proud of.
Recalling the past without a dark filter, or without a bright and cheerful, wistful filter, is one very important component of ending up as a 'good enough' parent.
A wonderful blog from a hell of a guy.

@timrayner01 points out that so-called information-sharing is never neutral, disengaged – it is a positive act of communication.
So even scorn is a form of affirmation. The comedian who devotes his spleen to the latest reality show is thereby contributing (in a complex post-modern fashion) to the show's success. Daniel Smith describes this as alternative consumption, and sees Charlie Brooker as a modern version of Baudelaire.
The Royal Television Society may pretend that Charlie Brooker represents the high-brow alternative to Simon Cowell. But Brooker's material is basically the same as Cowell's, it just has a different sentiment. They obviously need each other.


A signature delicate adjustable choker you won't want to take off. The Chloe Mini Choker is thin enough to layer with other dainty necklaces, yet its patterned chain allows it to stylishly stand alone. The adjustable functionality makes styling easy. Try pairing this gold choker with a large hoop or ring stacks. Thoughtfully designed for everyday wearability.


I can't really say for sure, but I am fairly certain that over the years the members of my family have spent more time laying in bed NOT sleeping than they have spent getting 40 winks. Insomnia and nightmares seem to run in my family.
For me, my insomnia manifests itself as a type of O.C.D. fixation where I can not stop thinking about a specific issue. Sometimes I am fixating on something important, and other times I am fixating on a conversation or idea that should have been no more than a fleeting thought.
On my worst nights, like tonight, I lay awake and my mind drifts off to work. I start to think about what I need to do the next day. It starts with mundane items like a server that needs to be overhauled. I start thinking about that, and then I remember all of the other more important things that need to be done like financials, 1099's, strategic plans, cost projections, forecasts, collections, and historical job costing.
Then I think about the people that matter most to me. My wife, my family, and my employees. Although after 10 years I seem to be figuring out how to run this company, I am always waiting for the other shoe to drop. I am constantly afraid that failure is just around the corner.
I lay awake stressing about where the next job or client will come from. I think of the people that work for me. They are buying houses and having kids. They depend on the business, and they depend on me to make it grow so that they have a career with a future and not just a job.
I think about my wife. She couldn't possibly be any more understanding or low maintenance. None the less she is my wife and I feel the need to provide for her. I want to provide her with adventure, fulfillment, and a great home. I worry that failing at the business would prevent me from delivering on all that she deserves. The irony is that I also worry that not casting off the business and setting off into the unknown will rob her of adventure.
Either way, one of my worst fears is that my wife would one day roll over and think that if she had married someone else she would have been happier or made better use of the time she gave me.
Of course, the best thing about my wife is that she would never hold me to that kind of standard. None the less, the instinct and fears are there and they like to make their appearance when my brain is unguarded during one of my restless, groggy, sleepless nights.
Now, all evidence to the contrary, I don't always take this insomnia and paranoia thing laying down (pun intended). Some nights I actively fight back by turning on the light and reading a funny book. I have tried a variety of breathing exercises, and I have used strategies that involve recognizing when you are fixating and actively changing the subject.
Other times I turn the TV on audio only and listen to an episode of the Simpsons or some other animated comedy. I listen and focus my mind on visualizing each scene, animating each one in my head. Occasionally, one of these tactics leads to a victory and I do get some sleep. However, as the old saying goes, "Some days you get the dragon, and other days the dragon gets you."
The fact of the matter is that in the grand scheme of things, none of us matter all that much. If I were to be run over by a bus tomorrow my wife, famliy, and employees would be sad. However, that sadness would pass and they would all move on. However, right now I am here. Those people could have worked anywhere, and my wife could have married anyone. They put their trust in me to do everything that I can to enhance their lives. Sometimes, that keeps me up.
Then again, maybe it isn't stress keeping me up. Maybe I am up because of some old family curse that was cast upon us when a long lost relative ran afoul of a gypsy. As long as I am up my brain figures it should be doing something, so it focuses in on this kind of thing.
Either way, up is up. It's after midnight now and I don't have the faintest hint of drowsiness. None the less I should probably get back to bed so I can hurry up and not sleep.
I get like that usually a couple days before a trip. Worrying I've done all that needs doing, packed all that needs packing, left all the contact info...you get the point.
Since I've started keeping a pencil and paper at my bedside to write it down the moment I think of it and get it out of my head, I rest better.
Just a thought on something you might want to add to repertoire of solutions.

Rock out to a history book
London-based rock journalist, travel writer and foreign correspondent Andrew Mueller wears all three of his hats in his new collection Rock and Hard Places, lifted from such publications as Melody Maker and Uncut across a 20-year career, writes David Cohen.
London-based rock journalist, travel writer and foreign correspondent Andrew Mueller wears all three of his hats in his new collection Rock and Hard Places, lifted from such publications as Melody Maker and Uncut across a 20-year career.
Most of the selections focus on bands — Mueller goes on tour with Radiohead, U2 and The Cure; visits the Elvis Presley Festival in Tupelo; suffers through Woodstock II; etc — while other selections are gonzo-style excursions into trouble spots such as Afghanistan and Tehran. The most memorable pieces, such as Mueller's investigation of the music scene in Sarajevo in 1996, and his coverage of The Prodigy's tour of Beirut, frequently combine the rock and hard places of the title.
Mueller is a talented, unapologetically opinionated, and often very funny writer, whose obsession with music calls to mind The 10 Rules of Rock and Roll, the recent book by that other Australian rock aficionado Robert Forster.
Occasionally Mueller gets carried away with his own cleverness, and did he really need to include a piece about his (albeit disappointing) promotional tour of England for his first book I Wouldn't Start From Here? That said, Rock and Hard Places is an addictive collection, guaranteed to delight all true rock'n'roll fans.
The details: Rock and Hard Places is available on Amazon and, we imagine, in all good bookshops.

I remember wading through Mueller articles in Drum Media or OTS in the early 90s.
God, couldn't he praise himself?!
I remember an interview with Debby Harry where he mentioned that Harry commented how good one of his questions was, but didn't include her answer to the question.
I would be very surprised if he's risen anywhere near Robert Foster.

Having read many Australian rock journalists, I'm reminded of Frank Zappa's edict, which goes double here: 'Interviews of people who can't speak, reported by those who can't write, for those who can't read'.

En escabeche is a traditional method of preserving foods that was frequently used before refrigeration. Castilla– La Mancha is known for its superb escabeches, of which this is just one good example. The mussels will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Discard any mussels that fail to close to the touch. In a stockpot, combine the mussels with water to cover and add the wine. Bring to a boil, decrease the heat to low, and cook, shaking the pot occasionally so that the mussels shift about, for about 10 minutes, or until the mussels open. Drain the mussels into a colander or large sieve. Discard any mussels that have not opened. Let cool.
Remove the mussels from their shells and discard the shells and any remaining beards. Set the mussels aside.
In a nonreactive deep sauté pan or wide saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, or until the onion is soft. Using a slotted spoon, discard the garlic. Add the pimentón, salt, and vinegar to the pan. Be careful, as the vinegar may make the oil spatter. Mix well and decrease the heat to low.
Add the mussels, mixing well, and simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow the mussels to cool in the brine. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until cold.
Serve the mussels cold with toothpicks for spearing or on decorative spoons.

The requested service is invalid from the selected origin.
Any idea what this means and how I can fix it?
where "cartName" is the name of your eCart object. Post the results of this back so I can see what is causing the problem.
I have a "S is not a valid unit of measurement for weight for this shipment"
What payment gateway are you using? to give further advice, I will need to know the gateway being used.
I can see from the output that there is no Ship to Zip code, this will cause the "requested service is invalid from the selected origin" error.
I'm using Paypal Standard. The user-name I gave during the Checkout Wizard process was the User ID I received when I requested my PayPal API signature, not the e-mail address I use to access my PayPal account. Hope that makes sense.
where yourCart is the name of your eCart object.
I'm really at my wits end with these UPS shipping problems. The site worked perfectly until I used the Checkout Wizard to add UPS shipping. You've given me help to set up different shipping rates for different quantities, but now I'm getting outrageous shipping charges even when I restart the browser. If I select 3 items their weight is 4 pounds, but shipping total is $74.19 for sending 4 pounds from Michigan to Boston (USPS does it for $15). My client is getting very angry at my "incompetence."
I'm thinking of switching to FedEx, but I notice in the posts people seem to have just as many problems with that. What is your experience: do folks have fewer issues with FedEx, or vice versa?
