That's fascinating, to say the least. May I ask how it happened? Granted, most yearbooks are cringe-inducing, but this seems overly so...

No bloody idea. They even captioned it wrong. Had pictures of the other school's player with captions like "Jose Alvarez [example name for someone from my school) throws his 4th touchdown pass of the game".

Am I not sure if central heating's not turned on here yet, or if room thermo has gotten stuck. It's been little chilly in my apartment. Clearly I should complain. But I guess the placing of thermo also might effect in that it reaches set temperature before whole room is heated.

Our heating doesn't require fires in this end, because it's connected to municipal district heating network.

Telling an anti-drug person how you can use section 263A uniform capitalization rules to cut down the taxes that drug dealers/small time manufacturers are required to pay.
Venicilian: wow. Jesus hung around with everyone. boys, girls, rich, poor(mostly), sick, healthy, etc. in fact, i bet he even went up to gay people and tried to heal them so they would be straight.

Drug dealing takes capital, and employes thousands in this country, from simple street dealers, local and natonal distributors, and importers. No reason these expenses are not deductible.

Well, the reason is that congress said so.

What's really funny is that if you are in the business of dealing weed, your expenses are not deductible (other than those you can capitalize under the uniform capitalization rules).

If you're a hitman, however, you can deduct your expenses to produce the income of your illegal business.
