Perhaps if the Kung Fu Panda tv series was a little more realistic as the movies’ character relationships, I’d probably wouldn’t have to look down on new CGI animation lately.

[raeloganthesonic06fangirl]

Build-a-Bear collection update, since Mom got me this adorable dinosaur onsie set to put on my Bearlien, so I decided it was time to show the whole BAB fam

So, we have

Zeke the Eevee (named for my first hatched Eevee in Pokémon Y, who is now a Sylveon), who was a gift from a friend for Christmas, which humorously has a barking dog sound chip. Cutely, Zeke's heart wish she did was "I hope you get a puppy for Christmas", which actually happened, and that puppy was Tori, ha. My oldest BAB, actually.

Easter Tie-Dye Stitch, rocking a recently obtained tropical shirt to change out his "I'm So Eggs-tra" shirt.

Sonic Movie 2 "Miles Tails Prower". He has the sound chip that has 5 Movie Phrases. Partially paid for by friend as a gift.

Britto Bear. Britto was a find on Mercari by my Mom, who realized that the artist was one that I admired the Disney statues from, so Britto is mine now. Currently rocking neon swim jams and an "I Bearlieve" shirt, since I wanted to change out the "Just My Type" Pikachu and Eevee Valentine's Day shirt I had on him.

Jellybean the Rainbow Hearts Triceratops. Christmas gift, she has a cotton candy scent disc installed. Is currently wearing Tropical Leaf Maxi Dress and pink undies (obviously, she has to have something on under that). Absolutely had to have because I love dinosaurs and quite honestly enjoy bright the vibrant colors of the rainbow as a vibe (this would have definitely been a toy I would have chosen as a kid if I had ever been able to go to BAB back in the day, but it was always too expensive for us back then so I'd just look in the shops at the mall with envy)

Hakuna Matata ("Matty") the Worry-Free Bear, who has the most decked out outfit, with grey checked pjs, a gray hoodie, some white boxers and a face mask tucked in the front pocket. He has a lavender scent disc. He was purchased shortly after having to say goodbye to my late cat, Shy, and I needed a mood booster. I picked lavender scent both because it's a sensory thing, but also because purple was a designated color for Shy, and lavender is also a color.

Cosmic the Bearlien, wearing a dinosaur onsie and some pink undies (can't wear pjs without them!), and they're a new addition to the group, being a limited time deal and I watched that page like a hawk for over a month until they went live. Combines the absolute awesomeness of aliens and dinosaurs in one sweet package.

I really need to be good now and try to at least wait for a Werewolf BAB to drop before I try to snag a new bear. It's so dang easy to fall in love with these cuties, especially when you have a rewards account and you have to keep thinking "... I can't get them all, I need to just find one that's the perfect one right now that I can't live without, or at least a new shirt to refresh the fashion..."

Extension of Replacement Period for Livestock Sold on Account of Drought on Cook & Co. News

New Post has been published on https://cookco.us/news/extension-of-replacement-period-for-livestock-sold-on-account-of-drought/

Extension of Replacement Period for Livestock Sold on Account of Drought

Notice 2019- 54

SECTION 1. PURPOSE This notice provides guidance regarding an extension of the replacement period under § 1033(e) of the Internal Revenue Code for livestock sold on account of drought in specified counties.

SECTION 2. BACKGROUND .01 Nonrecognition of Gain on Involuntary Conversion of Livestock. Section 1033(a) generally provides for nonrecognition of gain when property is involuntarily converted and replaced with property that is similar or related in service or use. Section 1033(e)(1) provides that a sale or exchange of livestock (other than poultry) held by a taxpayer for draft, breeding, or dairy purposes in excess of the number that would be sold following the taxpayer’s usual business practices is treated as an involuntary conversion if the livestock is sold or exchanged solely on account of drought, flood, or other weather-related conditions.

.02 Replacement Period. Section 1033(a)(2)(A) generally provides that gain from an involuntary conversion is recognized only to the extent the amount realized on the conversion exceeds the cost of replacement property purchased during the replacement period. If a sale or exchange of livestock is treated as an involuntary conversion under § 1033(e)(1) and is solely on account of drought, flood, or other weather-related conditions that result in the area being designated as eligible for assistance by the federal government, § 1033(e)(2)(A) provides that the replacement period ends four years after the close of the first taxable year in which any part of the gain from the conversion is realized. Section 1033(e)(2)(B) provides that the Secretary may extend this replacement period on a regional basis for such additional time as the Secretary determines appropriate if the weather-related conditions that resulted in the area being designated as eligible for assistance by the federal government continue for more than three years. Section 1033(e)(2) is effective for any taxable year with respect to which the due date (without regard to extensions) for a taxpayer’s return is after December 31, 2002.

SECTION 3. EXTENSION OF REPLACEMENT PERIOD UNDER § 1033(e)(2)(B) Notice 2006-82, 2006-2 C.B. 529, provides for extensions of the replacement period under § 1033(e)(2)(B). If a sale or exchange of livestock is treated as an involuntary conversion on account of drought and the taxpayer’s replacement period is determined under § 1033(e)(2)(A), the replacement period will be extended under § 1033(e)(2)(B) and Notice 2006-82 until the end of the taxpayer’s first taxable year ending after the first drought-free year for the applicable region.

For this purpose, the first drought-free year for the applicable region is the first 12-month period that:

(1) ends August 31;

(2) ends in or after the last year of the taxpayer’s four-year replacement period determined under § 1033(e)(2)(A); and (3) does not include any weekly period for which exceptional, extreme, or severe drought is reported for any location in the applicable region. The applicable region is the county that experienced the drought conditions on account of which the livestock was sold or exchanged and all counties that are contiguous to that county.

A taxpayer may determine whether exceptional, extreme, or severe drought is reported for any location in the applicable region by reference to U.S. Drought Monitor maps that are produced on a weekly basis by the National Drought Mitigation Center.

U.S. Drought Monitor maps are archived at http://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/Maps/MapArchive.aspx.

In addition, Notice 2006-82 provides that the Internal Revenue Service will publish in September of each year a list of counties1 for which exceptional, extreme, or severe drought was reported during the preceding 12 months. Taxpayers may use this list instead of U.S. Drought Monitor maps to determine whether exceptional, extreme, or severe drought has been reported for any location in the applicable region.

The Appendix to this notice contains the list of counties for which exceptional, extreme, or severe drought was reported during the 12-month period ending August 31,

Under Notice 2006-82, the 12-month period ended on August 31, 2019, is not a drought-free year for an applicable region that includes any county on this list. Accordingly, for a taxpayer who qualified for a four-year replacement period for livestock sold or exchanged on account of drought and whose replacement period is scheduled to expire at the end of 2019 (or, in the case of a fiscal year taxpayer, at the end of the taxable year that includes August 31, 2019), the replacement period will be extended under § 1033(e)(2) and Notice 2006-82 if the applicable region includes any county on this list. This extension will continue until the end of the taxpayer’s first taxable year ending after a drought-free year for the applicable region.

SECTION 4. DRAFTING INFORMATION The principal author of this notice is Lewis Saideman of the Office of Associate Chief Counsel (Income Tax & Accounting). For further information regarding this notice, please contact Mr. Saideman at (202) 317-7006 (not a toll-free call).

6. Tails the Fox - Sonic the Hedgehog

Year: 2010 Event(s): LouisiANIME 2010

Details: I thought this was like, the best, most amazing costume I had ever made. The pinnacle of my cosplay career. This ugly piece of work was my favorite accomplishment for a couple years and I am baffled. (Especially looking back on photos) Miles “Tails” Prower is one of my all-time favorite video game characters. I really love the Sonic franchise and I really, really love Tails. No lie, my e-mail was “milestailsprowerfan” for YEARS. All through high school, I dated a dude who also really loved Sonic and, because we were especially lame, we considered ourselves Sonic and Tails. (I mean, we went as far as trying to find my an orange dress for prom because of this, hahaha) Anyway, come 2010, we finally decided to cosplay our weird counterparts and wear them to a con together. The dress was made as simple as they come, it was just as if I drew a generic dress on paper and then cut the same exact shape out of fabric. The white part is literally just an oval hand sewn onto the front. We did actually make the drive to another town to go to Hobby Lobby for this, so it was made out of okay materials. The dress itself was just an orange cotton, but the white parts were a really soft blanket material. I had also purchased cute lace and ribbon that matched the color scheme. Yet I still somehow bought the wrong color zipper. The hem of the dress with the lace was a complete accident. I had cut it was longer than I wanted it, and then the hem fell down after sewing it, I realized I could layer it to make it cuter. The ugly tails and ears were also super quick and sloppily made, the black on the ears is Sharpie. One thing I did with this that I still do is attach the ears to a headband so they can be adjusted. That’s probably the one good thing to come from this creation, haha. The gloves were, yet again, a pair from a JROTC uniform that I cut the fingers off of. The black parts? Literally hair ties. As for shoes and socks, the costume went through several phases. Scrunched down socks and converse and thigh high socks with (open toe!!!) heels. (For real, I would use those stupid open toe heels with socks and tights all the time. That’s so ugly!) I remember being very conflicted when I decided to wear heels with it for my first real photo-shoot ever, but now I love heels! The higher the better! (Just not open toe with socks, please!) Before I finish writing this, let’s not forget to mention the fluorescent orange wig. My second wig ever. I made a good color choice, obviously.

Man I have been working on this picture FOREVER. Thank goodness I’m finally done now. Anyway I bet some of you people that have role played with me see me either role playing or having Sardonyx mention my other Sonic oc, Gertrue Stripes on here right? Well like I’ve mentioned in a few rp’s in Sardonyx’s dimension Gertrue Stripes raised a large amount of the Freedom Fighters, when their parents were either robotisized or killed and even taught them how to defend themselves. Her husband Azubuike helped raised and train them at first too, but one day he just disappeared. So below the read more is a little one-shot concerning their beginnings to this decision, enjoy!

         It was a dark day in this vast forest belonging to the Acorn Kingdom, as clouds covered what would have been radiant sunshine with some veil of forlorn, grey cotton. What made matters worse was the situation ensuing between an egg-shaped, human scientist and two female mobians in a small village. These two individuals were tasked with taking care of some children whose parents were off to fight in the Great War, or had perished during it. As they shared their last moments of freedom scowling the so-called scientist, a quiet individual looked onto them from afar.

         Eyes of a deep, brown coloring witnessed events unfold around them a fair distance ahead in both silent horror, hatred and admiration towards those who had been captured. Surrounded by the safe haven that was an oak’s dense foliage their owner (a white, female lynx with black spots on the edges of her ears and muzzle) remained undetected by Robotnik’s bulky, metal soldiers... for now at least.

         A deep respect practically flooded the ivory and sable mobian’s core, towards those innocent caretakers refusing to reveal the children‘s whereabouts. They really were valiant allies and good friends indeed. The feline just wished that she could repay their brave actions, one day. Seeing the greedy, human scientist however caused a wildfire of loathing to arise within. She could not BELIEVE the Acorn Kingdom used to trust this man with their very lives, at one point! She vowed to never make a mistake like that again, as his betrayal and elimination of her dear comrades was completely unforgivable.

         As the lynx, Gertrue watched those people become emotionless, mechanical servants of that dreaded doctor frustrated tears rolled down her cheeks. In all truth she wanted nothing more than to fight through those robots and save her friends, but logic and reasoning kept the feline at bay, because other matters needed solving at this time. Descending downwards from her precarious position in an oak tree with nimble, quiet movements, it didn’t take long for the white mobian to land upon grassy terrain. After running across some disguised, forest path for a few minutes she then stopped in front of some dense underbrush. Making her way through the bushes and long grass, she then was greeted by a blaster pointed directly at physique. However once its owner laid golden hues upon her, that weapon was immediately stowed away as a relieved breath absconded from his lips.

         “Oh thank goodness you’re back. I was beginning to worry.” the blaster’s owner (a male tiger) expressed in airy drones.

         Gertrue’s lips displayed a quick smile, as she often adored it when her husband Azubuike expressed his sweet, genuine compassion, for it showed that he cared. She dismissed his previous actions, because BOTH of them needed to keep their guards up during these trying hours. Placing hands upon her hips she then portrayed a confident smirk.

         “Now now my dear Azu, hasn’t our time together taught you that it takes a lot more than some robots to destroy me?” Gertrue said with an air of brief confidence, causing the tiger to momentarily grin before her expression shifted into a considerate frown. “But never mind that, are the children safe?” As if right on cue, a little boy’s voice penetrated their surroundings.

         “Aunt-auntie, what’s going on?”

         Shifting their gazes the adult felines starred at a group of children with calm frowns on their facial features. The group of young ones consisted of a blue hedgehog, another tiger (who was in fact their own nephew), a chipmunk princess, a rabbit girl and a baby fox. These small individuals were all children of people who Gertrue and Azubuike had become good friends with during their time in the Great War. Their protection meant the world to the older cats, as they not only were key components for a better future but also the only piece of their friends they had left. Walking up to the striped cub he held the youngest one in his arms, the lynx gently placed a hand upon his shoulder.

         “It’s Robotnik again, Felix. He’s finally found us so were going to look for another place to... hide now, okay?” Gertrue explained in the gentlest of tones (though it took all of her self-restraint not to hiss at that dreaded word, ‘hide’). She didn’t think concealing the truth to her little nephew about their circumstances was a good idea, for he would probably find out on his own eventually.

         As the lynx explained their predicament to Felix, Azubuike looked at them with a sincere expression of protectiveness, whilst hidden admiration flickered inside his core. Gertrue had always managed to be the most logical yet compassionate person in trying times, and it was one of the many things he loved about her. He just wished she didn’t have to use that ability of hers so often. Throughout these recent years it seemed like no matter how hard both of them tried, they kept facing one ordeal after another. Even as they both retired from the war early to keep an eye on their orphaned nephew, conflict eventually broke into their ‘protective barrier’. Granted the older, striped mobian sometimes wished that they could’ve kept fighting back instead, but he couldn’t leave his deceased sister’s only child unattended. Still despite all these austere, haphazardly events ensuing all around them, Azubuike was going to protect what remained of his family... even if he had to sacrifice his life for their sake.

         As these thoughts were strolling through Azubuike’s mind Felix gazed upon his aunt in uncertainty, whilst little hands held an infant fox with a surprisingly professional grace. One thing about the young tiger was that he often wanted to help people in any way he could. This included assisting the caretakers with their work, every now and then, as a result he eventually learned how to carry an infant properly. The baby he carried was named Miles Prower, though because of a minor... mutation most people called him ‘Tails’. As he slept peacefully in a blanket’s warmth, the striped cub looked at his aunt with concern whilst biting lower lip. Just then a small, feminine voice squeaked forth.

         “Miss... Miss Stripes, are Lilly and Rose... dead?” a little chipmunk girl named Sally asked, with trembling form and tears brimming the edges of her eyes. Since she had no memory of her mother and had little chances of ever seeing her father again Sally often looked upon Azubuike, Gertrue and the two caretakers as parental-figures, so loosing those individuals practically tore the young girl’s heart asunder.

         Seeing the chipmunk on the verge of tears, Gertrue got up once more so that she could focus attention upon her. Caressing her cheek in a motherly fashion, brown eyes gazed into weeping, sky blue orbs with sympathy alighting inside them.

         “They are not dead sweetie, they’re just... not going to be the people you and I know for a while.” she explained, before getting up with a renewed fire burning inside dark-brown pools. “This isn’t the end though... I promise that once we find a new base I will teach each and every one of you how to stand your ground. As far as we know we’re about all that’s left of Nigel’s Kingdom. All of you are going to be inspirations to the world I just know it, and know that I’m going to help you achieve your destinies any way I can.“

         At this speech Azubuike couldn’t help but frown in concern. Placing his hand upon Gertrue’s shoulder, he then motioned her off to the side for a bit. Once they were a few feet away, he folded his arms over each other and spoke in hushed drones.

         “Are you sure you want to do this, Gertrue? Raising these children is one thing, but now you’re offering to train them for battle. I thought you didn’t wan-”

         “I’m sick of running away, Azubuike!” the lynx proclaimed through an outburst of fierce drones. Seeing her husband’s worried expression, she then released a weary sigh and spoke in a softer voice. “I’m sorry, dear. It’s just that... I’ve been on the run for such a large portion of my life, and I’m sick of it. I don’t want to live in fear at all now. I want to set an example for these children, so that they can see that some things are worth fighting for.”

         Rather than become angry with his own wife, the older tiger nodded in understanding. Unlike most people, Azubuike knew the FULL story behind Gertrue’s past. The lynx had a very... difficult life. She entered from one conflict into another loosing both her parents and siblings in the Dragon Kingdom, then going off to another country right as it was in the middle of some great war. He could only comprehend how conflicted she must have felt, during those times. He just wanted to make sure that she was fully committed to this change, and seeing those embers spark alive into inside her brown irises proved was more than enough proof of the white feline’s determination. Now grinning from ear to ear at the sight of his wife’s seriousness, he then couldn’t stop himself from bringing her into a bear hug.

         “Thank goodness. I was starting to miss the days when you had that fire in your eyes, as we stopped the enemy.” he said spinning around in happiness, as he did Gertrue couldn’t help but laugh.

         “Hah! I should have figured you couldn’t go a few years, without getting into a scrap or two.” she teased, whilst he placed her down. Once he did however a thought skimmed across the lynx’s mind, causing her to frown again. “Problem is... I have no clue as to where we should go now.“

         At this confession the older, male feline placed his thumb and forefinger on lip’s edges, before countenance smiled from a long-forgotten memory.

         “Do you remember when we found that abandoned base, not too far from here?” he asked.

         Once his inquiry absconded into air’s currents Gertrue’s eyes widened in realization. “Of course! How could I have forgotten that?” she said, before turning towards the group of children with renewed hope radiating from facial features.

         “Alright kids, we may have been knocked down but we’re not out. I know things are difficult now, but we’re not going to give in.” the lynx proclaimed in authoritative drones, as all young eyes gazed upon her with newfound faith and admiration. “If it’s a fight Robotnik wants, than it’s a fight he’s going to get. Once we get to our new home I will personally teach the fighting skills I’ve learned throughout the years. However I’m not teaching you how to fight in order for you to just get revenge on someone. No, I’m going to show you how to fight... for your freedom.”

I'm having a fun time looking up funny shirts on Pinterest and assigning them to my fan kids would recommend

Thanks for the idea! I wanted to post this sooner, but I preferred to delay it to include more characters and shirts.

I know you suggested this for the fankids, but I couldn't help but include Shadow and Rouge. Maybe next time Sun or someone else will appear.

I’m nearing the 1 year anniversary when FurAffinity treated my submissions as violations on their site. It’s no wonder why I’m so quiet during Pride Month. I’m compassionate, yet also Neutral. Completely aware of the community, yet not always a tag along. I’d rather be an insignificant speck in human society rather than a tyrant oppressing the rights of others.

Sleep now, Nezu-Chan. I will become the vagabond I once was.
