New Lexington government website
Lexington has a new Web site. It's www.lexingtonky.gov.
Lexington is getting a new home in cyberspace. Starting Tuesday, LexingtonKY.gov is the city's official Web site.
In addition to a new Web address, the redesigned site lets users pay fines, apply for permits and sync their personal calendars with a city calendar.
New features on the site include:
■ The "Virtual Gateway" allows citizens to do business with the city online instead of standing in line. The goal is to identify and put 20 percent of the city's forms, fees and payments online within the next year, Dhuwaraha said.
■ Map It! is a feature that allows citizens to map the city's buildings, infrastructure, neighborhood organizations and criminal activity. Citizens can map their address to determine what council district they live in, their state representatives and city facilities, such as the closest public park, Dhuwaraha said.
■ "I Want To" is a drop down menu that answers many of the most frequently asked questions.
■ Citizens can sign up for a number of electronic newsletters, ranging from breaking news notices to construction updates.
For now, the city's lfucg.com e-mail addresses will continue to work, but the city will eventually migrate to LexingtonKY.gov e-mail addresses.

IRS to help homeowners refinance or sell homes
Associated Press - December 16, 2008 2:13 PM ET
WASHINGTON (AP) - The IRS is trying to make it easier for homeowners in financial straits to refinance or sell their homes.
The tax agency says it will speed up a process where federal tax liens do not inhibit efforts to refinance or restructure a mortgage loan.
Under the process, taxpayers can request that a tax lien be made secondary to other liens, such as that of a lending institution, or removed from the property a person is trying to sell.
"We don't want the IRS to be a barrier to people saving or selling their homes," said IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman.

Opportunties to Bless
1.There's a giant bin in the Newman Center (Holy Spirit Church) on Rose Lane that is collecting toys for a Christmas Store at theCatholic Action Center on 5th Street. The beauty of this "store" is that only adults are allowed to shop there when it opens the 22nd-24th, I believe. The twofold tenderness involved is that the poor or homeless mother or father is given the opportunity to pick seven items to give to their kids at no cost, which gives the parent the dignity of giving their child a gift, as well as the joy the child receives because he expected nothing.
2.The Community Christmas Store - giving presents to over 17,000 kidsthis year and in need of many gently used/new stuff...collecting items at Southland Christian, The Vineyard and Community Action Council Ibelieve. Merry Christmas!
3. The Salvation Army's Angel Tree.

Lexington Freecycle
Hey guys, check out www.freecycle.org
*WHAT IS FREECYCLE(TM) ABOUT?
There seems to be some confusion among some members lately, about what Freecycle(TM) is really about.
So, here is our interpretation.
First, what Freecycle is NOT about.
Freecycle is NOT about giving only to the poor.
It is NOT about getting as much free stuff as you can.
It is NOT about getting things to earn money on the side.
It is NOT about getting rid of junk that is better off in the landfill.
It is NOT about having other people cater to you because you have transportation issues.
Freecycle IS about keeping things out of the landfill.
It IS about giving away something that has no use in our life anymore to someone who could extend its usefulness a little longer.
It IS about giving gifts to people while clearing out our own clutter.
It IS about community.
When you post an offer, you are offering to give someone a gift. It is up to you to give this gift to whomever you feel would be the best recipient. You are not obligated to give your gift to someone who is rich, poor, single, married, has no kids, has 1 kid, has 15 kids, has a car, doesn't have a car, or has a purple octopus named George living in their backyard. You can choose the most polite, the rudest, the funniest, or the shortest response to receive your gift. You can put their names in a hat and do a draw, or you can wave your magic finger over your screen and pick one that way. You can choose the first, 3rd, or 53rd respondent. It is up to you.
When you post a wanted ad, or respond to an offer, you are requesting a gift. For example, if there are over 1000 people on this Freecycle list, poor, single, married, have no kids, have 1 kid, have 15 kids, have a car, don't have a car, or have a purple octopus named George living in your backyard, does not mean you are more worthy of receiving a gift from a fellow Freecycle member than the average person living down the street. Sending emails that don't include please or thank you are one way to not receive an item. Sending emails with nasty comments in them are one way to find you in a bit of trouble.
We are a community.
In every community, there are people who don't get along. And in most communities, when 2 people don't get along, they just avoid each other. To do that on Freecycle, all you have to do is set up a filter to send any email from someone you don't want to hear from straight into you trash bin. If you need help with that, let me know and I can help you.
So, just remember: If you're offering a gift, it's up to you who gets it. And if you're requesting a gift...well, be patient. Your turn will come eventually, but if you're not careful your name could end up on a 'will not give to' list.
Thanks So Much!

*WHAT IS FREECYCLE(TM) ABOUT?
There seems to be some confusion among some members lately, about what Freecycle(TM) is really about.
So, here is our interpretation.
First, what Freecycle is NOT about.
Freecycle is NOT about giving only to the poor.
It is NOT about getting as much free stuff as you can.
It is NOT about getting things to earn money on the side.
It is NOT about getting rid of junk that is better off in the landfill.
It is NOT about having other people cater to you because you have transportation issues.
Freecycle IS about keeping things out of the landfill.
It IS about giving away something that has no use in our life anymore to someone who could extend its usefulness a little longer.
It IS about giving gifts to people while clearing out our own clutter.
It IS about community.
When you post an offer, you are offering to give someone a gift. It is up to you to give this gift to whomever you feel would be the best recipient. You are not obligated to give your gift to someone who is rich, poor, single, married, has no kids, has 1 kid, has 15 kids, has a car, doesn't have a car, or has a purple octopus named George living in their backyard. You can choose the most polite, the rudest, the funniest, or the shortest response to receive your gift. You can put their names in a hat and do a draw, or you can wave your magic finger over your screen and pick one that way. You can choose the first, 3rd, or 53rd respondent. It is up to you.
When you post a wanted ad, or respond to an offer, you are requesting a gift. For example, if there are over 1000 people on this Freecycle list, poor, single, married, have no kids, have 1 kid, have 15 kids, have a car, don't have a car, or have a purple octopus named George living in your backyard, does not mean you are more worthy of receiving a gift from a fellow Freecycle member than the average person living down the street. Sending emails that don't include please or thank you are one way to not receive an item. Sending emails with nasty comments in them are one way to find you in a bit of trouble.
We are a community.
In every community, there are people who don't get along. And in most communities, when 2 people don't get along, they just avoid each other. To do that on Freecycle, all you have to do is set up a filter to send any email from someone you don't want to hear from straight into you trash bin. If you need help with that, let me know and I can help you.
So, just remember: If you're offering a gift, it's up to you who gets it. And if you're requesting a gift...well, be patient. Your turn will come eventually, but if you're not careful your name could end up on a 'will not give to' list.
Thanks So Much!
