Alexander Koryagin:

AK> BTW, it is a hummer time to ask here where is the
AK> difference between "you are welcomed" and "you are
AK> welcome"?

The one relates the actual action of welcoming and the other
a potential readiness thereto.  Compare the following
sentences:

  You are welcomed in my house.
  You are welcome in my house.

The first implies that you come regularly and are received
well, and the second indicates the condition that if you
come, you shall be welcome.  Its truth value does not depend
on whether you come or not.
