Tara Mortgage Services Featured Blog: Is It The Right Time To Get a Home Loan?
The question of when it's the right time to buy a home has been asked by countless. And the answer to that largely depends on what one means by "the right time."
When is it the right time to buy according to the market? When is it the right time to buy according to your current financial situation? When is it the right time to buy considering life goals and opportunities?
As you can see, the "right time" is a very personal thing. Let's go in-depth and look at each of these situations. Remember to contact us for a personalized recommendation and get matched with a mortgage loan program that fits your right time.
The Real Estate Market and the Right Time to Buy
Buyer's market. Seller's market. Even seasoned real estate investors can have trouble nailing down the "right time." But there are a few things to help you gauge whether the market is right for buying:
1. Price trend in your desired area: Comparing the historical home costs gives you valuable insight as to whether you can expect prices to rise quickly or stay steady. It's useful to compare those trends with other areas in the county to see the bigger picture for asking price and home sales.
2. Home sale trends: If home sales seem to be moving slowly, it's a good indicator that it's a buyer's market and likely the right time to buy. Sellers will be more willing to negotiate, and there will be less competition.
3. New construction slowing down: You'll want to watch out for lagging construction as this can mean housing will be in short supply, driving prices and competition up.
4. Interest rates: Another number you want to look at is interest rates. Now this one is a little tough since rates are changing all the time, and there's no absolute way to predict what it will be next week or even tomorrow. However, there are several key indicators that true mortgage professionals look at to gain insight. Working with a trustworthy professional is key as they can guide you when the right time to buy is considering mortgage rate trends.
Your Finances and the Right Time To Buy
The market and current mortgage rates play a critical role as to whether it's the right time to buy a home, but so do your finances. You may have heard that you need to save 20% for the downpayment. If you don't have 20%, you may think it's not the right time to buy. However, certain loan programs let you purchase a home with as little at 3.5% –some even less than that! Even a struggling credit score may not affect your "right time to buy." Government-backed home loans allow banks to issue great loan packages to buyers with lower than average credit scores. If fear of getting denied a home loan due to low credit has been holding you back, now is the RIGHT time to discover the possibilities.
Life Goals and the Right Time to Buy
With the above mentioned in mind, let's now consider your life goals. Are you ready to set roots –at least for five years –in one community? Ready to invest with long-term payoff? Tired of renting and the inability to make customize your home? If these sound like you, then now is the right time to buy.
Even in less than favorable real estate markets, great rates and life circumstances may mean that it's your right time to buy. Get a custom rate quote! Our mortgage office is dedicated to truth in lending and personalized service. Contact Tara Mortgage Services today to learn about your mortgage options and discover if it truly is the right time for you to buy!

She's charmed the fashion world, wowed moms nationwide with her parenting skills and her popularity rating far outshines her husband's.
So, naturally, President Obama thinks his wife will have better luck convincing the International Olympic Committee to send the 2016 Summer Games to Chicago.
"Michelle's our best representative," Obama told Bloomberg News.
Patrick Ryan, Chicago's 2016 bid Chairman agrees.
"She has a global image that is just tremendous," Ryan said.
Michelle will travel with Senior White House adviser Valerie Jarrett and, possibly, Oprah Winfrey – if she's asked.
It's becoming increasingly clear, however, that the president will not head to Copenhagen this October.
Touching on recent history, Bloomberg's reporter asked the president if he thought his absence would hurt the games. After all, Tony Blair's appearance at the vote was instrumental in corralling the games for London in 2012.
"We are deeply invested in getting this done," Obama told Goldman. "Michelle is definitely planning to go to Copenhagen, and she's, I think, the best Obama representative that we have.
"...I'm in the middle of some very important decisions around health care, the - are obviously still working on the issue of financial regulation. It may not be a time where I can just devote a couple of days to fly over there." Obama said.
Chicago is competing for the games with Rio, Madrid and Tokyo. According to Gamesbid.com Chicago is slightly behind Rio as a favorite.

DETROIT >> Mikael Samuelsson's return to the Detroit Red Wings didn't start well and it most certainly didn't end well.
After an injury plagued first year, the veteran forward quickly found himself passed over by the youngsters in the organization this past season.
"I'm just disappointed the way this year started out," said Samuelsson, who just wrapped up his two-year deal worth $6 million. "I was hoping and believe I have something more to give, but at the same time when the young guys came in they definitely deserved a chance to play. They played so good then it became a tough spot for the management. I guess I was the odd man out. From my standpoint I didn't like what was going on."
In 26 games last season, he had just one goal, two assists and was a minus-4. He averaged just over 10 minutes of ice time a game.
"It was very disappointing," Samuelsson said. "You can see it from both ends, they didn't think I performed and I don't think I got that much of an opportunity. Even though I played 20-plus games when you look at the games the amount of ice time I got, in my mind that's not what I wanted here."
The Wings waived Samuelsson in late January. He played just two games in Grand Rapids and registered no points and was a minus-4.
"I was happy something was going on at the point," Samuelsson said. "It's not easy to waive a guy that makes the amount of money I made and showed pretty much absolutely nothing this year. At that point I knew I wasn't going to get picked up, one plus one is two. I just wanted to play some games."
It looked like Detroit was going to use one of its two amnesty buyouts on Samuelsson last offseason, but the team felt he possible would contest the move because of a pectoral muscle/shoulder injury he suffered in the playoffs.
"They talked to me for a little bit, but I didn't expect or wanted them to talk," Samuelsson said. "They talked through actions. That's how they talked. It's not like they said you're still a good player. It's the actions that spoke more than words.
"I need to take some time and do some good thinking what I want to do," Samuelsson continued. "I still think I can play hockey that's the bottom line. Whether it's going to be here or somewhere else today I don't know what's going on."

If you ask him, Shakira didn't have an Oral Fixation so much as she had an oral agreement.
Antonio de la Rúa, the pop superstar's former boyfriend, is suing Shakira for a whopping $100 million, accusing her of breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty for allegedly failing to pay her his previously agreed-upon cut for his contributions to her career during the time they were together.
The suit, filed Nov. 20 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York and obtained by E! News, claims the businessman and Shakira, full name Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, formed a "business partnership" whose "sole aim... was to market, expand, and profit from the 'Shakira brand.'"
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
One of the key accomplishments of that partnership included helping the Latin American songstress cross over from her Spanish fan base to become a global sensation. And it's not as if de la Rúa, who trained as a lawyer, was inexperienced in such ventures, having managed his father's successful campaign to become president of Argentina.
Per the suit, the couple met in 2000, and after he had advised her in the years since, by the end of 2004 Shakira had asked her then-beau to take over control of the business operations behind the "Shakira brand," including various charitable causes.
That included holding various board positions and acting as the president of various companies while he alleged the two agreed that de la Rúa "would be entitled to a percentage of the profits of the Partnership in exchange for the contribution of his business and marketing knowledge, skills, and expertise."
While the entrepreneur says he did not draw a salary from the companies he supervised, he subsequently received a share of the profits from sweat equity in their partnership, which he says was agreed upon verbally.
Shakira breaks up with longtime boyfriend
Despite the two jointly choosing to call it quits in 2010, court papers note that Shakira asked de la Rúa to stay on running her business, even pointing to the Jan. 10, 2011, statement on her website in which she wrote, "We continue to be partners in our business and professional lives."
However, after a "crisis" occurred with Shakira's promoter Live Nation, a crisis which de la Rúa says he resolved after several months, only two weeks later the "Hips Don't Lie" singer decided to "terminate" their business arrangement in October 2011.
"From that day, Mebarak has adopted a strategy of trying to rewrite history, which includes denying the existence of a parternship, belittling de la Rúa's contributions to the Partnership, and mischaracterizing past events," reads the suit. "Perhaps having moved on in her personal life, Mebarak felt that remaining business partners with de la Rúa created difficulties in her new relationship. Whether that is true or not, Mebarak is not entitled to ignore the fact that, as a business partner, de la Rúa has a financial interest in the Partnership that exists entirely separate and apart from their former romantic relationship."
Shakira reveals baby's gender: It's a boy!
Shakira has since hooked up with soccer star Gerard Pique with whom she's expecting her first child.
De la Rúa's suit seeks compensation valued at no less than 10 percent of the annual net profits of their partnership, plus an increased percentage based upon the success of the business. All told, Shakira's ex claims he's owed at least $100 million for the breach of their joint venture.
A lawyer for Shakira could not be reached for comment.

On his latest album, July's "Last of the Great Pretenders," singer Matt Nathanson opens with the lyric, "I'd kill anyone who'd treat you as bad as I do." With it, the 40-year-old artist announces his eighth full-length record is clearly different than the others.
With songs that take place chronologically from mid-summer to New Year's Eve, "Pretenders" feels like a page from Nathanson's personal journal. Through complex lyrics, the album engages emotionally and brings to light Nathanson's grittier, deeper side. He sings about everything in his life, from the beauty of San Francisco to the ugliness of people he has hurt.
Before his sold-out Rams Head Live concert on Friday, Nathanson discussed the new album, staying honest and the waitress who inspired the song "Kinks Shirt."
With the success of your 2011 album "Modern Love," did you feel a sense of pressure when creating this album?
I've made eight or nine records, and for some reason it finally clicked that any anxiety and pressure that I put on myself just really didn't help the process. Even if it was a subconscious pressure with this record, I worked really hard with the idea of not getting in the way of the creative process, and not trying to make the songs be anything other than what they were. So it was kind of freeing. … I tried real hard with this record to just stay in my gut. I like to call it the "inner creative assassin" that lives in my head, and I pretty much Duct-taped his mouth and stuck him in the trunk of the car.
This is your eighth album. Has anything about songwriting process changed over they ears?
I like to think I'm getting better at it, but I have no idea. Some of my early records make me want to shoot myself in the eyes and ears when I hear them, like physically make me want to remove my ears from my head when I listen to some of my old records. And the last couple records, I can listen to all the way through. So at least, I feel like I'm becoming more tolerant of myself as a songwriter.
On a few of the new songs, you talk about the repercussions of pushing the people you love away and keeping everyone at arm's length. What's changed in your life that helped you start letting those people in?
I have a daughter. She's 3, and that kind of changed the game. I hate when people are like, "I had kids, and I realized what always was," but you totally … it changed my perception of what's important. So, I think that having my daughter was like, a huge, huge part of that.
You wrote "Kinks Shirt" about a waitress you fell in love with in your head, without ever telling her how you felt. Have you spoken to the girl who inspired "Kinks Shirt" since?
No, but a fan of mine did a San Francisco tour using my record as a map. She would go to all the places in the songs that I talked about specifically. … I did an interview in USA Today, and I might have given the address and the name of the coffee shop where [the waitress] works, and so this woman ended her tour in San Francisco – she would send me pictures on Twitter, that's how I know she was doing it – and in the final picture, she was like, "Look who I found!" And I was like, "Oh [expletive]." My life went into slow motion. I was like, "Oh no," and I clicked on it, and it was this fan and the beautiful waitress, so apparently now she knows that the song's about her, and I can never go back. New coffee shop time!
In the past you've been known to add comedy into your shows. Where does your sense of humor come from, and can we expect any of that at Rams Head Live?
I like to think of my shows as I'm throwing a big party at my house, and everybody comes, and so it's all about telling funny stories, and making people laugh because that just puts me at ease, to sort of have a rapport with the audience. It feels less like, "Watch me play music for you" and more like, "What's up friends, let me tell you this funny story that happened today. I went to the bathroom in the ladies room in the supermarket and the manager followed me out." It's fun to relate parts of my [life], and on tour lots of crazy stuff happens, so there's always stories to tell every night.
Plus, it makes it easier to ride the white Bengal tiger out in my loincloth, too, because it can really scare people when you ride a live animal out. And I also have a cannon that I wear around my waist that shoots fire, so you know, I can't just come out and do that. I gotta break the fourth wall. I don't want to singe people's hair and scare them. I feel like I should try to one-up Kate Perry with those whipped-cream bras, so I'm going with a jock strap that shoots fire.
If you go
Matt Nathanson performs Friday at Rams Head Live, 20 Market Place in Power Plane Live. Joshua Radin will also perform. The show is sold out.

National Beer Day: Recipes to help with the celebration
Apparently, I missed National Chocolate Milk Powder Day April 4. Not choosing to live in the past, my pint glass is already chilling for National Beer Day on Sunday.

2 scoops dulce de leche ice cream
1 12-ounce bottle Samuel Adams Boston Lager
1 tsp. agave syrup
fresh nutmeg
fresh cinnamon
Combine Boston Lager and agave syrup. Place two scoops of ice cream in float glass. Pour in beer/agave mixture. Top with fresh nutmeg and fresh cinnamon to taste. Serves one.

4 bottles Samuel Adams Boston Lager
sliced pickles
40 slices American cheese, cut in 1 inch x 1 inch pieces

For ketchup:
2 cup ketchup
2 cup mayonnaise
4 tbsp. Boston Lager

2. Mix ingredients for ketchup together. Set aside.
3. Slice English muffins in half. Scoop out half of the bread on the bottom portion.
4. Toss beef with lager.
5. Fill bottoms of English muffins with 2 ounces of ground beef, then place on sheet pan upside down (on meat side) to brown meat for 3 minutes in oven.
6. Remove from oven and top meat with cheese and thinly sliced pickles and top of English muffin.

Highfields Capital Management was co-founded by Jonathon Jacobson and Richard Grubman in 1998. About a third of the fund's initial capital of $1.5 billion came from Harvard Management; Jacobson had previously worked at the endowment. Grubman has since retired, but Jacobson is still managing the fund which has since grown to over $10 billion in assets under management.
Jacobson has admitted that the holy grail of value investing- a good company trading at a cheap price- is very elusive in the modern financial markets, even with the resources of a hedge fund research team. As a result he claims that Highfields end up looking at unattractive businesses which carry low valuations because the market expects that poor performance to continue. If the price is low enough, or if the company's struggles have been due to problems which are getting weaker, then it might be a buy.
Considering that the hedge fund tends to manage a moderately concentrated portfolio- in its most recent 13F filing, the six largest positions were responsible for about 40% of the reported investments- it seems to us that the fund doesn't need to find too many "close enough" picks to match its large size as long as it can invest high amounts of capital. The smallest of these six largest positions was over $350 million. In turn, the large size of the positions and the concentration of the portfolio generally results in fairly long holding periods for Highfields; Jacobson has claimed that a holding period can be two to three years. Between September 2011 and September 2012 the same three stocks have held the top three slots in the fund's 13F portfolio according to our database of filings, and two more of the most recent top six had Highfields report a position of at least $200 million a year earlier. Read on for a quick discussion of the five largest holdings in Jacobson's most recent reported portfolio or see the full list of stock picks:
News Corp (NWSA) Highfields owned about 32 million shares of News Corp, which is planning to split its business into two next year. Partly because of the opportunities inherent in this special situation- management of spun out or broken up companies can sometimes create shareholder value by being more focused on operations- News Corp was one of the most popular services stocks among hedge funds. The stock trades at 23 times trailing earnings, suggesting that the market currently expects it to improve.
SLM Corp (SLM) Student loan manager Sallie Mae, which is also a favorite of billionaire Leon Cooperman's Omega Advisors (check out Cooperman's stock picks), was another of Jacobson's top stock picks with a position of 46 million shares. The stock is cheap at trailing and forward P/Es of 8 and 7, respectively, but investors have at least some reason to worry about student loan debt- this is a classic case of an unattractive business at a low price.
DIRECTV (DTV) The fund cut its stake in DirecTV by 16% but still owned about 11 million shares at the end of September. Revenue and earnings growth was moderate last quarter compared to the third quarter of 2011, and the trailing P/E is 12. It might be a value candidate. DirecTV was one of Warren Buffett's top ten stocks last quarter as Berkshire Hathaway reported owning almost 30 million shares (find more of Buffett's favorite stocks).
JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM). Jacobson increased the fund's holdings of the megabank by 41% between July and September to more than 10 million shares. JPMorgan Chase trades at a small discount to book value and at 8 times consensus earnings for 2013, which we think is quite cheap. JPMorgan Chase joined fellow big banks Wells Fargo (WFC), Bank of America Corp (BAC), and Citigroup (C) in our list of the ten most popular stocks among hedge funds.
Canadian Natural Resource Ltd (CNQ). The $31 billion market cap integrated oil and gas company rounded out Highfields' top five picks, and was the only one of the five where the fund had not had a position worth over $200 million a year ago. The stock has fallen 23% in the last year, and earnings were down strongly last quarter versus a year earlier. It is valued at 12 times forward earnings estimates.

Ariel Castro Pleads Guilty in Ohio Kidnapping Case
CLEVELAND (AP) — A Cleveland man accused of holding three women captive in his home for about a decade has pleaded guilty in a deal to avoid the death penalty.
Ariel Castro pleaded guilty Friday to 937 counts. In exchange, prosecutors are recommending the 53-year-old be sentenced to life without parole plus 1,000 years.
Castro says a pornography addiction and "sexual problem" have taken a toll on his mind. He also says he was sexually abused as a child.
A judge accepted the pleas and declared Castro guilty. Sentencing is Aug. 1.
Castro had been awaiting trial on a 977-count indictment. The allegations include repeatedly restraining the women and punching and starving one woman until she had a miscarriage.
The women disappeared separately between 2002 and 2004. They escaped from Castro's house May 6.

15-step ecommerce inventory management checklist
Small Business Guides
6 min read
Every retailer has to master inventory management – the process of ordering, storing and supplying stock. It doesn't matter if you do it on paper, using a spreadsheet or using online software. There is always something to learn and new ways to improve ecommerce inventory management.
How to improve ecommerce inventory management
Making sure you have the right quantity of product in stock to meet demand can take a fair bit of number-crunching and forward planning. You need to allow for seasonal changes. You also need to account for new spending trends. Use this 15-step list as your guide for improving the way you manage inventory.
Use data to plan ahead
Use data to plan ahead and calculate the right quantity and range of stock to have on hand throughout the year.
Start with these two steps.
- Look at your historical annual customer order numbers. Break down the figures into daily, monthly and quarterly volumes to help you identify the peaks and troughs of customer demand. Will you, for example, need extra stock in early December to meet Christmas demand?
- Identify how much additional stock you are likely to need if customer demand increases for any reason (this is your buffer). For an accurate forecast, look at what's happened in previous years. Check the latest consumer trends. Review industry data to work out the right volume of safety stock for your business.
Also, think about how much equipment you'll need to ship stock throughout the year. At certain periods, you may need additional boxes or bubble wrap; at other times you may need less. Plan for this too.
Stay on top of stock supply
Check you have a good process in place for maintaining optimal stock levels. Ask yourself:
- How quickly can I replace declining stock levels?
- Do I have sufficient safety stock for an unpredictable spike in customer demand?
Consider storing inventory off-site
Consider storing some of your product off-site to bring it closer to customers and to reduce shipping time. Think about setting up regional hubs. And strike up a storage deal with a national retail chain or the postal service.
Allocate the best warehouse space to in-demand products
Set up your warehouse so the most in-demand products are within easy reach. Make good use of all the space available by storing less popular products in the harder-to-reach areas.
Plan to hire more staff during busy periods
Most ecommerce sites do 40 percent of their business during the Christmas holidays. If you get busy at this time of year, start planning in June. It takes time to recruit and train new staff.
Use online, real-time inventory software
Using online, real-time inventory software will give you accurate stock data at the press of a button. Choose software that allocates a unique barcode to each item in stock.
Make sure it:
- updates your stock levels as soon as an item is taken off the shelf and the barcode is scanned by staff
- identifies when a product is out of stock and updates your website immediately
- tracks an item during shipping and gives you and your customers an accurate delivery time.
Respond quickly when stock runs out
Ideally, you'll never run out of stock – because every time a product is not in stock, it becomes a lost order and, potentially, a lost customer. Respond quickly if you do run out of stock.
- removing out-of-stock product from your website to prevent orders and setting up a message that says the product will be back in stock shortly
- taking backorders and fulfilling the orders when stock comes in again
- monitoring your best-selling products very closely, and quickly replenishing stock as it gets low.
Add product handling and shipping costs to your inventory system
Make sure the cost of handling and shipping stock is linked to your inventory system. You want to see clearly how much handling and shipping affects revenue.
Do a weekly stock take
Ask an employee to manually count stock regularly – perhaps once a week – to cross-check your online tally. Do it as good practice. Use the same employee each time (if you can). It'll speed up the process.
Review safety stock volumes
Having too much stock on hand is just as bad as having too little. Extra stock takes up room in your warehouse and it costs you. The longer it sits there, the more it decreases in value.
Keep an eye on the turn-around rate of your product. Note how long it takes to get product from your seller. Use this information to review the volume of safety stock you have on hand and adjust the volume accordingly. Aim to have 30 days of inventory on hand at any one time.
Use an inventory system tailored to your business
It makes good sense to use an inventory system that suits you and your business. There are several on the market. Select the one that best meets your needs. Ask the manufacturers or a consultant for advice if you need it. Look for one that links to your accounting and payroll software and any other relevant systems.
Keep company records accurate and up-to-date
It seems obvious. But it's easy to let record-keeping slip. You'll manage your inventory more effectively with accurate, up-to-date information. Keep an eye on the status of your inventory. Check it daily or even several times a day during busy times.
Keep your customers informed
Customers appreciate good communication. They like to know what's happening to their order from the time it's paid for through to the time it is delivered. Use a system that acknowledges receipt of payment, and shipping and delivery details. Give customers the ability to track their order online using unique tracking details.
Be aware of trends and seasonal events
Be aware of trends and events that are likely to influence your customers' buying behaviour. Christmas and the start of the school year may cause surges in buying. A hurricane warning may see people wanting to stock up on necessities like food, first-aid kits, raincoats and sandbags.
Consider selling your products through Amazon's webstore
Using a well-established ecommerce business like Amazon can be a great option for smaller businesses. You can sell directly through the Amazon webstore or reach their customers through display advertising. Either option is straightforward to set up. Selling on Amazon can be a good way to see how the market responds to your product, and gives you access to tens of millions of Amazon customers.
Ecommerce inventory management is a balancing act
Managing your inventory can feel like a balancing act at times. On the one hand, you want enough stock to meet demand. On the other, you don't want too much that it costs you.
The key lies in doing your research and using data to make informed decisions. For well-established small businesses, it's a good idea to use historic sales figures to guide you. For new businesses, you'll need to delve into industry trends and data to get a feel for what's on the horizon.

Be careful with this snail USB drive—it's so cute someone might try to steal it from you.
The 8BG drive is $22. At first glance, you don't even really expect it to be a tech accessory. It's all one piece—the mouth of the critter is the cap on the drive, so you don't need to worry about losing the top, which always seems to get away. It's functional, and more importantly, very adorable. [MoMA Design Store]

Travel Guide
Newfoundland © Michel Rathwell
The Atlantic province of Newfoundland and Labrador offers visitors a peek into the quiet, unassuming splendour and solitude of one of the world's few unspoilt and truly unique destinations.
Tourists are quickly caught up in the wild natural beauty of the province, from the rugged rocky cliffs and outcrops to streams and rivers that interweave the rolling green hills and countryside. Labrador also attracts many visitors to its Tundra, which features the 'mini-Rockies' and the historic Avalon Peninsula, home to the charming capital city of St. John's.
Travellers enjoy coming here for the world-class fishing, exciting outdoor trails, wildlife viewing, hunting, and dozens of breathtakingly beautiful national parks. Newfoundland and Labrador is a haven for outdoor sports enthusiasts, who can enjoy activities like camping, sea kayaking, hiking, canoeing, snowmobiling, bird watching, and any number of other pastimes.
The wildlife here is something memorable, with thousands of moose, black bear, caribou, Northern River otters, Newfoundland Lynx, and Arctic hares all being native to Newfoundland and Labrador. The millions of seabirds and thousands of humpback whales circulating the freshly carved icebergs off the 18,000 miles (29,000km) of coastline are also sights to behold.
Other key attractions in Canada's easternmost province include the Western Brook Pond, a land-locked fjord, and L'anse aux Meadows, a National Historic Site of Canada and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. L'anse aux Meadows is the site of the only confirmed Viking settlement in North America.

Hit-and-run caught on camera
Man captures on video 2 women fighting on street
A wild scene on Milwaukee's east side was caught by a video early Sunday morning.
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee graduate student Steven Greenwood captured two girls fighting with his video camera from the window on his third-floor apartment about 2:40 a.m., while another amateur photographer recorded the brawl on the ground.
The video caught one woman hitting another woman on the street. The second woman retreated to her car while she was being pursued by the woman, who started beating her car's headlights. The second woman backed up her car, nearly running over the other woman on the sidewalk, and then she pulled out onto the street again, nearly hitting the other woman again. The driver then backed up and went forward on the sidewalk, taking out a parking meter.
Greenwood said he cannot believe what unfolded before his eyes.
"Well, clearly when the car started going into the sidewalk, that's when things just started getting clearly out of control. For one thing, it's a one-way street. Sometimes you see cars just going the wrong way, that might cause an accident, but not really on the sidewalk, and then clearly trying to take shots at the person outside the vehicle, and then wiping out the parking meter," said Greenwood.
The incident went on for about two minutes before the woman in the car finally stopped and hurled something toward the other woman.
'It's pretty intense. It's not something you see every day for sure, or every night. I was just kind of there and said, 'Well, this is an interesting night,'" said Greenwood.
It all ended when the police showed up, but the woman in the car didn't wait around and took off.
Milwaukee police have yet to release any information about the incident.

Home sun and moon impact The Sun in Cancer and Moon in Cancer
The Sun in Cancer and Moon in Cancer
Fancy and imagination will be manifest in this combination, and there is a great liability to go to extremes. It gives independence, with conservatism or a clinging to ancient costumes and habits; yet there is also much changeableness. Inertia will produce laziness, but when other planetary influences allow, the tenacity and motive power will be great. A good parental influence in early life, with possible inheritance from parents.
The native is acquisitive and careful in money matters; and there is some good fortune through property, houses or land. May have psychic inclinations or abilities, dreaming, intuition, etc.

Snapshots from South Korea: Grand Prix from Mr. Pizza, Korean Pizza 'Made for Women'
From May 8 to May 12 I visited Seoul for the first time, mostly to eat as much food as I could and learn about a cuisine I knew little about.
"You have to try Mr. Pizza," said Dan, my primary Seoul eating guide for the week. "It's for women! ...And they use lots of crazy toppings."
Hey, I'm female and I like crazy toppings! Apparently, Mr. Pizza was made just for me. (Why is it for women? Mary Eats provides some insight.)
Actually, I lied; I don't like excessive crazy toppings. I like the idea of excessive crazy toppings because it amuses me, but as for fitting into the category of "something I'd repeatedly pay for and eat," probably not. However, I couldn't visit South Korea without trying one of their ubiquitous pizzas topped with anything your heart desires, as long as those desires include shrimp, potato wedges, corn, or sweet potato mousse. (I don't mean to say there's no non-crazy pizza in South Korea, but seeing as I can get that stuff at home and I don't live in Los Angeles, where you can find their only US location, I certainly wasn't going to look for it during my short trip.)
During a marathon eating night with Dan and Terry that also included burgers and fried chicken (three kinds of junk food in one night; that's how we roll), we went to Mr. Pizza so I could try the almighty Grand Prix, a cookie crust pizza topped with shrimp and potato. If that sounds familiar, you may have read about it in our list of the top ten crazy Asian pizza crusts. Or perhaps you've eaten it. If not, here are some photos to show you what you're missing.
A "Women's Wonderful Well-Being" salad bar to go with your pizza? Yes.
You can watch the birth of your mega-pizza by looking through this handy window! And moments later, with the frantic, silent arm waving of the employees on the other side, we found out we weren't allowed to take photos.
Condiments to go with your pizza include garlic sauce, hot sauce, and...blueberry sauce? Yes, to dip the cookie crust in! Also, a side of pickles.
Since we ordered our pizza to go, it came in this box neatly wrapped in a stylish red ribbon. I can't say I've ever seen that before. Nor have I ever seen a pizza box that reads, "Love for Women."
And then we unveiled the Grand Prix. ₩24,500 ($19) for this beaut! ...Good lord.
How did it taste? Unfortunately, I'm not a good judge of its gustatory appeal because I ate it maybe 20 minutes after we ordered it...in the dark. We brought it to a rooftop party as our contribution to the night's festivities. Not being able to see what I was biting into made for a strange experience: lukewarm shrimp, mushroom, pepper, cheese, and corn on one side; potato wedges, bacon, crushed tortilla chips, sour cream, and more on the other, all not-so-harmoniously melding in my mouth. And then there was the crust, which didn't really taste like anything until I got to the edge. It was more like a lightly sweetened scone with a strudel-like coating than the advertised cookie. The bits of sunflower seed, pumpkin seed, and raisin made it mildly more interesting. As for the blueberry sauce, I was honestly too jaded, tired, and lacking in appetite by that point to care about using it (this was the night after I spent all my daylight hours at the Tteok Fair), but I don't think it would've improved the crust's taste by much.
If I had eaten the pizza when it was fresh out of the oven, it probably would've tasted better, but I still would've seen it as "bread with too much stuff on it, bound together by cheese." My friends told me that potato mousse-filled crusts taste good. I'll have to try it next time.

Here is the luxurious cell for Al Capone. Capone spent most of his prison life at Alcatraz, but did spend 8 months at the Eastern State Penitentiary. From 1929-1930. I asked the tour guide this day why he had the only comfortable cell? She replied that is unknown, but just as he arrived an anonymous donator gave some big funds to the prison. They had new baseball uniforms and a cell Martha Stewart would be happy to have! LOL My last post form here for a while. The next shot will be "locked up" for a a month or so!

Wheatley remembers World War II
copyright the Chronicle May 20, 2015
by Nathalie Gagnon-Joseph
NEWPORT — At 93, Donald Wheatley has witnessed most of the major events of the twentieth century, and participated in a big one, World War II.
"I'm 93 years young," he said in an interview Friday. "I say that seriously. I'm only 93."
His sister is 96 and still drives, and his father's mind stayed sharp until he died at 106, Mr. Wheatley said.
None of the members of Mr. Wheatley's Army outfit were casualties of war, but 70 years after the end of World War II, he is the last surviving member of his company.
"They say 1,000 World War II veterans die every day," he said.…To read the rest of this article, and all the Chronicle's stories, subscribe:

TEENs Summer ProgramCreated: 7/10/2014 Updated: 8/9/2016
Subscribe to the Nature Museum blog and never miss a post!
This summer, with support from After School Matters and the Mozilla Foundation (through Hive Chicago) 32 high school students are participating in the Nature Museum's TEENS (Teenagers Exploring and Explaining Nature and Science) program. The students are learning ecological and environmental monitoring techniques, data collection methods and are learning basic digital mapping skills to share what they have learned with their peers and the wider science community. This blog, written solely by one of the participants, is a great introduction to experiences of their first two weeks.
Hm...where should I start?
I'm Ashley Guzman, a rising senior at Walter Payton College Prep. I started the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum Program for Teens in the middle of June. It's the first After School Matters program I've taken part in, and so far I've been having a lot of fun.
During our first week, we focused on introductions. We met the group of around 30 students and 4 instructors we would be working with, and began a conversation about our goals for the summer. A group goal we established was our hopes to become citizen scientists- everyone has the potential to be a citizen scientist. We defined a citizen scientist as someone who takes action in their scientific community; in our case, it's contributing meaningful data as well as working to restore our environment, which I'll get into later. By the end of this program, our collection will culminate in self directed projects that could launch us towards solutions and information, even on a smaller scale.
Pond on South Wall of Nature Museum
We started off collecting data on epicollect, a handy little app on our tablets that allows us to collect data while cataloguing the approximate area we found the data in. We started off with qualitative, observation based data. We took notice of the different plants that existed in the area, taking trips around our research area in Lincoln Park to note the diversity. We went through using dichotomous keys, which helped us identify the different plants based on specific details about them. I started noticing things like the patterns of leaves on plants, their petals, length, and the like because of these keys. We went through a similar process when identifying and cataloguing trees. I'm curious about these tags I've found on the trees in my neighborhood, perhaps the city has a similar plan?
By being more aware of the types of trees and plants in the area, we can be more careful to preserve them. Like ash trees, which I've now learned are dying out due to the emerald ash borer (thank you Dave!).
Bureau of Forestry Tree Tag
Today, after doing work both inside and outside of the lab to gain more knowledge about biodiversity, our group merged and brainstormed; we pointed out observations that stood out to us and observations that could possibly direct us to our final project ideas. I want to point out something that my friend Richard said; he pointed out that he couldn't seem to avoid bees while we were collecting data by North Pond, which had a high water level due to heavy rains. I wanted to thank him, because it's observations like that that send my brain into a flurry of ideas, which I'm sure happens to others as well. I started thinking about something I had seen on tumblr, which said that you should give a bee water mixed in with sugar if you see that it's stuck out of flight, because it's likely due to exhaustion. I try not to accept these things as pure fact, because everything should be questioned! However, I wondered if this could have something to do with all of the bees near North Pond. Is this going to be my final project? Well, maybe, but I have time to collect more data, make more observations, and develop my hypothesis. I just wanted to give you an example of this train of thought, and express how much I like this kind of conversation! Sometimes, introducing observations that you didn't think much of originally can lead into a great investigation. I'm glad we're going to get more chances to have these kinds of discussions.
Until then, I will leave you with this: don't scratch your mosquito bites. They aren't that bad.
Also, just a fun little frog we found in the forest preserve we visited!

The cancer comedy formerly known as "I'm With Cancer" shall henceforth be referred to as "Live With it."
The movie, based on TV producer Will Reiser's ("Da Ali G Show") script about his own battle with cancer in his 20s, is being directed by James Levine ("The Wackness") and features a great cast.
We loved the title "I'm With Cancer," but have to admit it would have made for a tough sell. It was also known as "The Untitled Cancer Comedy," which was also pretty great. No matter how you slice, "Live With It" is something of a letdown.
U.S. & World
Here's the synopsis from IMDB:
Adam Schwartz (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a 25-year old lives a genuine, nice, decent, and simple life, he has a beautiful girlfriend Rachel (Bryce Dallas Howard), he works at a museum with his best friend Seth (Seth Rogen), who tends to complicate his life in humorous, but annoying ways. However, everything couldn't be any better until he comes to the realization of being diagnosed with a rare type of cancer. Considering his youth and healthy life style, Adam is at first in disbelief, but in reality knows it is real. Without having a choice, Adam decides to go through the process of chemotherapy in order to survive. He goes on to tell his parents, friends and Rachel with having their attention totally thrown off, but in total support. To get his mind off of his ordeal, Adam starts to see Katie (Anna Kendrick) a young, cute 26-year old medical student who helps him cope with the psychological process. As time goes on and his youth slowly begins to fade, Adam comes to many terms in life that never were brought to his attention before while going through the overwhelming situation of beating cancer and to appreciate what he has in life.
We are huge fans of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who is putting together a nice body of work (rent "Brick" if you haven't seen it yet). The guy's never lacked for work, but maybe this project, coming on the heels of "Inception," will get him the recognition he deserves -- not that he needs it.
Now that the title's been firmed up, you would have to imagine some art or a trailer or maybe even a release date is on the way.

The MTA says that the clean-up process has begun at the Metro-North Railroad crash site after Friday's rush hour derailment in Connecticut that injured 72 people.
The National Transportation Safety Board authorized the removal of rail cars from the crash site on Saturday night, allowing the investigation and clean-up process to proceed. All rail cars were removed by Sunday afternoon and taken to the Bridgeport railyard, according to the NTSB.
"Our crews will essentially be rebuilding two thousand feet of damaged track, and overhead wires and signal system," said Metro-North Railroad President Howard Permut.
U.S. & World
Crews will work around-the-clock over multiple days to rebuild, which means disruption to the New Haven line will persist in the coming week, Permut said.
Investigators are looking into a broken part of the rail that underwent repairs last month, but have not determined whether it was a pre-existing fracture or if it occurred as a result of the accident, according to NTSB spokesperson Earl Weener, who spoke at a news conference on Saturday afternoon. The board said the FBI has ruled out foul play in the investigation.
The trains were traveling at approximately 70 mph at the time of the crash, which is the posted speed limit, according to the NTSB.
Officials arrived on the scene on Saturday morning to begin investigating the cause of the train crash, injuries sustained by the commuters and operator performance.
Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy and other officials spoke at a news conference on Saturday morning where they described a grisly scene after a Metro-North commuter train heading east from New York City derailed and was hit by an oncoming train heading west from New Haven.
"The damage is absolutely staggering," Sen. Blumenthal said. "Ribbons on the sides of cars are torn away like ribbons of clothes."
The NTSB's investigation could take seven to 10 days but that does not mean that service shutdown will take that long, board spokesman Earl Weener said..
The eastbound Metro-North train derailed just after 6:00 p.m. and was hit between the Bridgeport and Fairfield stations, officials said.
"We came to a sudden halt. We were jerked. There was smoke," Alex Cohen, a Canadian passenger on the westbound train en route to New York, told NBC Connecticut.
"People were screaming; people were really nervous. We were pretty shaken up. They had to smash a window to get us out," he said.
St. Vincent Hospital in Bridgeport, Conn. said on Saturday that it saw a total of 46 patients, six of whom were admitted for treatment. As of Saturday night, all patients remained in the hospital and were reportedly in stable condition.
Bridgeport Hospital saw 26 patients and admitted three. Two of those patients were in critical condition a day after the accident, and one was in stable condition.

Andy Samberg, who announced Friday that he's leaving "Saturday Night Live" after seven seasons, didn't get the kind of unique sendoff Kirsten Wiig received to a Rolling Stones soundtrack at the end of the show's season finale last month.
But Samberg threw himself a two-part musical farewell in the last two installments of the year – via an cameo-packed 100th "SNL Digital Short" video big on faux self-congratulations (and self-gratification) and a hilarious "Lazy Sunday" sequel (this time he and Chris Parnell rapped their way to "Sister Act: The Musical").
The videos marked a fitting going away for the boyishly goofy 33-year-old comic. While Wiig proved herself the show's standout sketch performer over the past seven years, Samberg emerged during that time as the "SNL" player who most helped change the culture of the show. More than anyone, he got the 37-year-old comedy program out of the TV, um, box, and onto the Web.
U.S. & World
Samberg was an able skit player during his "SNL" tenure (his portrayal of Madonna's seemingly pain-resistant Super Bowl halftime show backup dancer/gymnast still cracks us up). But he became first regular to make his biggest mark on the show in the non-live TV realm, with the aid of his Lonely Island comedy team partners Jorma Taccone and Akiva Schaffer – and a lot of help from their friends.
Sweet Natalie Portman came off as a "bad--- b----" of a foul-mouthed, violent psycho in "Natalie Raps" ("I never said I was a role model"). Steve Martin, James Cameron, Steven Spielberg and other luminaries lent their vision to the inanely funny "Laser Cats" series. And Justin Timberlake, of course, teamed with Samberg to give "SNL" its biggest online present in a certain gift-wrapped box.
The success of the videos, though, doesn't rest solely in recruiting big names. The best of them work on image-mocking set-ups, whether it's Pee-wee Herman cracking a chair over Anderson Cooper's head or Michael Bolton turning up variously as Captain Jack Sparrow, Erin Brockovich and Tony Montana. Samberg set the tone by projecting a certain sweetness that makes his and Parnell's hardcore rap about eating cupcakes and seeing "The Chronicles of Narnia" on a lazy Sunday a gut-busting exercise in comic juxtaposition.
Short films on "SNL" date to the debut season in 1975 when Albert Brooks got his first major exposure by producing celluloid segments (our favorite: a coming attraction of new TV season offerings that included an all-child version of "Death of a Salesman"). Samberg and his crew's rise, though, coincided with the Web's growing prevalence as a seemingly endless repository of entertainment, with a premium on the short and funny. The do-it-yourself feel to the videos at a time where anyone with a Smart Phone can be a filmmaker added to the appeal.
It's likely the videos, particularly those that went viral, helped draw new and presumably young viewers to "SNL," which has proven adept at reinvention and going on after losing talent like Wiig and Samberg. Like other "SNL" stars before him, Samberg is turning to the movies – his latest, "That's My Boy," with fellow alum Adam Sandler, is due out mid-month. But we hope he's closely watching two other "SNL" predecessors with comic sensibilities and personas similar to his: Will Ferrell and Jimmy Fallon, who embraced the Internet after leaving the show.

Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury are hundreds of millions of miles apart in the vastness of our solar system. But next week, the three planets are going to appear to be very close to each other in the evening sky at dusk.
The celestial show will reach peak brilliance on May 26 and 27, when the three planets will form a triangle in the western sky that will remain visible for about an hour after the sun sets.
The close gathering of three planets, known in astronomical terms as a triple conjunction, is somewhat rare. The last time three planets appeared this close to each other was in 2011. It won't happen again until 2015, according to NASA.
This conjunction is particularly special because it includes the three brightest planets in the sky. It will also be the tightest grouping of three planets until January 2021.
How to watch
To catch the celestial show, go outside about 30 to 60 minutes after sunset and look west, NASA advises. Find Venus first, since it will be brightest, followed by Jupiter and Mercury.
Each planet will appear within roughly three degrees of each other in the evening sky. For comparison's sake, if you make a fist and hold it up to the sky, that covers about ten degrees of space. If you're viewing the planets with binoculars, they should all fit inside the eyepiece.
The closeness of the arrangement of the three planets, and their brightness, will make this a once in a decade-type event, Dr. Alex Parker, a postdoctoral research fellow at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, told us via email.
The visual effect of a conjunction happens because the solar system's planets lie in nearly the same plane, and each planet orbits at a different speed and distance from the sun, Parker said.
In this case, all three planets involved are currently on the far side of the sun from Earth. So while they appear close together in the sky, they're actually far apart; for example, Jupiter and Mercury are separated by nearly 500 million miles, Parker said.
Interpreting planetary alignments
The planetary show might be misinterpreted by some people.
Thousands of years ago, planetary conjunctions like the one happening next week were events of major significance — though they weren't always interpreted in a positive light.
"For the ancient Chinese, close gatherings of planets portended the end of — or at least a threat to — dynastic continuity," Anthony Aveni, an astronomy and anthropology professor at Colgate University, said in an email.
"The emperor would call his counsel and assess the threat, which makes sense because the planets look like they are conspiring in the sky."

Having coordinated literally dozens of snowmobile trips over the years, youd think leading a few mudslingers would be a piece of cake. But beings as my PolCat was in the shop and we were to pick it up on the way to Canada, freshly rebuilt. As I have never ridden the route we were to ride without 3-4 ft of snow on it. As everyone in my group had been riding ATVs since birth and I have 16 months experience. And to get a call at 8:30 a.m. on Fri day morning as Im leaving, from the dealer, that my machine also had a bent valve and wouldnt be ready, yeah you could say I had a little anxiety.
However, thanks to my good buddy Joe, I had a one year newer version of my machine to ride. And once we all met at Studebakers Restaurant in the Soo Michigan, the pressure was off. Everyone was introduced and the excitement was high as we all fired questions and laughed through lunch. After a quick stop at the Duty Free Store to exchange to funny money and a probing at the border, all six vehicles with bikes in tow were headed north out of the Soo Ontario. In Canada, Off Road machines are called bikes , for future reference.
We arrived at The Driftwood Lodge in Searchmont around 4pm. Carl had the two chalets (cabins) ready and we unpacked. As Kurt had been in Searchmont many times, he graciously volunteered to lead us on an afternoon ride to a secluded spot featuring some falls on the Goulais River. (Pronounced Ghouly.) After a 4 mile tour of every back trail around the Ski Hill and getting a combination warning/ directions from a nice employee on a bike, we were off. Now Ive ridden trails in Atlanta, Black Lake, and Kalkaska, as well as many trips to the Mounds and Bundy Hill, but they were only a precursor to what we were about to experience. We went up and down some of the muddiest, steepest, rockiest, tightest trails ever. We even had to make use of Pauls Stihl chain saw more than once.
Just shy of our waterfall destination, we came to a spot where the bridge over the river was out. The river was narrow and the current swift. Kurt, Joe and I decided we would not be able to make it through. Then came Paul. Ha, he said. Thats nothing, and he proceeded to muscle his 8oo Can Am across the flowing river. So one by one we all rolled across with the water up to the seat bottoms and the river flowing fast into our side panels. After a long uphill climb, we popped through the brush and out onto a huge rock outcropping with an amazing view of the falls right in front of us. It was almost a religious experience. So, I got out my $800 Galaxy S-6 Edge Plus phone and baptized it in the water. It mustve been possessed, because it got hot and died from the water.
After taking videos and pics, we made the trip back to the Chalets to enjoy the lasagna we had left slow baking in the oven, along with garlic bread, salad, macaroni salad and blueberry and apple pie. Mmmmm.
Saturday Morning, I warmed the pre-made breakfast burritos and we downed them along with coffee, milk and O.J. After packing the machines, we lined up and all 11 of us were on the trail by 9am. Halfway Haven, our destination for this day was 92 miles out. There are no houses, towns or gas stations between Searchmont and there. The first 54 miles is pretty uneventful, consisting of mostly flat logging roads with beautiful scenery. Then you pop out onto the Hydrolines. These impressive high power lines were built in the 60s over some of the rockiest, hilly terrain this side of the Rockies. As this was my first view without snow for over 20 years, I was in awe. All I could think was, Holy crap, Ive been riding my sled over those rocks and the mounds I launch off of are boulders bigger than a house.
We arrived at Halfway Haven around 3pm. Sean was standing outside in shorts no less to greet us. After unpacking, we decided against going for an afternoon ride and to rest for tomorrows 150 mile adventure. All but Paul. Paul took the trail north for 7 miles and returned in time for dinner. Tonights dinner would be Roasted pork loin, BBQ beef brisket , potatoes salad, veggies, chocolate cake, apple pie and a Canadian favorite, sugar pie. Sean is an AMAZING cook!
Sunday morning, We awoke to a nice dusting of fresh snow and temps of 26 degrees. We feasted on another amazing breakfast and headed north on what would be our big day. The trails north of Halfway, on the way to Wawa are beautiful and the zip codes change from the top to the bottom of some hills. All I could do was shake my head as I looked up at the 450ft rock faces that we climb in the winter with sleds.
I asked the group If they were up for an off trail climb to a favorite spot for pics and they all started their machines for my answer. Up we went. Once on top, I pointed to the trail we could take, had it not been converted to a lake by the beavers damming it up. Kurt went down to investigate. We all watched in awe as he straddled the top of the 300 yard beaver dam and crossed it. Guess where we all went? One by one we crossed the dam. Except for Paul. Paul rode in the water next to the dam the whole length. He is fearless for an 80 year old guy. (kidding).
I took the group up to several other lookouts of mine and we made it to the Michipicoten Dam around 1pm. Great place for pics too. Then on to Wawa for lunch at the Wawa Motor Inn. Excellent lunch stop. From there we worked our way out of town with a stop at the lookout hill. You can see Lk. Superior from there. Then back toward Halfway Haven. About 30 miles back, we encountered our next water crossing for the day. This one was much longer and looked intimidating, but not for Joe. He dove right in and made it look easy. So one by one we made the Long Deep water crossing.
As we were to have dinner at 7pm, we needed to pick up the pace, so for about 12 miles on the logging road, we flew low, stopping every few miles to let Gary and his grocery getter catch up. A side note. Tresa decided to ride shotgun in the Razor to take pics and with her half helmet and mouthguard in, resembled a running back. But a cute one. And she returned with teeth intact after slamming a couple washouts at high speed with Gary at the wheel. We made it back to Halfway as the sun was setting. 8:30 pm. Right on time for our dinner of Steaks and Whitefish plus ALL the trimmings.
After dinner, we all got together and decided that Jeff and Peggy would follow Plumbob and Ed back to Searchmont by leaving at 7am, as they were loading up and heading back Monday. I would lead Joe, Kurt, Fudd, Tresa, Gary and Paul and leave around 9am. We sat around the rustic setting of Halfway Haven for our last night in camp, reliving the weekends adventures before saying goodnight to Sean who is always the last to bed and the first to rise.
Monday morning we wished the four leaving early a safe return as they struck out on the 92 mile journey back to Searchmont. After we wolfed down our breakfast, we said our goodbyes to Sean and the 7 of us enjoyed a leisurely ride back to Searchmont. Knowing we had to have our machines spotless to cross the border, we went down to the Goulais and ran them along the gravel beach again and again splashing and wetting each other as well as our bikes. After loading up, we drove by truck to a little known eatery called The Mountain View Lodge. And once again we enjoyed a fabulous Canadian meal. We then returned to the Driftwood and laughed for over an hour as we watched our recorded videos from the weekend on the T.V.
Tuesday morning we sadly said goodbye and set off for our return to the USA. Theres no way to retell the entire details of our adventure, but I hope you get the idea that we had a blast! I want to thank each and every attendee, as they ALL made the ride a huge success. We just might have to do it again sometime.

I started watching when it came out as I heard that fans of LOTR also liked this. I stopped watching after Season 1 as I was devastated lol kinda. Only 2015 I decided to continue watching and got addicted like it seemed complicated at first, too many stories and characters. I even used a guide from internet like family tree per house while watching or GOT wiki so I can have more background on the characters. For a TV series, this show can really take you to a different world and never knowing what will happen. It is very daring that any time anybody can just die (I learned not to be attached and have accepted that they will all die so I won't be devastated hehe). I have never read the books but the show is entertaining and you will really root for your faves and really hate on those you hate. Fantasy, action, drama, comedy, love...and lots of surprises!
Cruel, bloody, vulgar, Machiavellian, unrepentant. And that is just the writing. The camera angles, the score, the pacing mesh together for grand storytelling: a mix of horror, swords and sorcery, and endless treachery. And all of that would be somewhat squandered if it wasn't for the best casting I've ever seen. From Lena Headey as soft spoken Cersei to Peter Vaughan as ancient Maester Aemon, each character pulses with depth and believability. Peter Dinklage may have sacrificed a virgin princess to get this role; I've never seen a better fit, not in size (though there is that) but in the way his eyes convey shrewd arrogance coupled with unabashed debauchery.
LOTR meets House of Cards. Imagine a fantasy novel if all of the beasts and mythologies were transported to the real world. There's no such thing as a happy ending, or an ending for that matter (unless you're dead). So as you watch the show make predictions, draw conspiracy theories, and watch them blow up in your face. This show is that kind of a ride!
This series starts off like some of the best out there. Although it makes some minor adjustments, it follows the story from the books quite faithfully for the first 4 seasons. And adds a twinkle of big budget movies, and great cinematography. Truly awesome. Up until this point, I was in love with the series, a 10/10. I quickly read all the books, and re-watched all seasons before a new one would come out. However, from season 5 and onwards, it starts going downhill. They ran out of book-material, and it shows. Everything starts focusing on the big set-pieces, characters become extremely bland and predictable. From here all major characters receive plot-armor, which was one of the things it didn't have before, and that made it interesting to watch. Of course they want you to think that they will still kill some of the main characters, but they're just teasing. The last few seasons I've only been watching to see what the conclusion to this story is, but I cringe and writhe during every episode I watch. What a pitiful way to go out. Hopefully the books finish the story in a more interesting and believable way.
Before watching this TV show I was told that it's best TV show ever. I'm big fan of Vikings TV series and when I asked opinion about GOT to my friend, he said Vikings is nothing compared to GOT. All my coworkers are GOT addicts, so finally I gave it a try. I watched all 8 seasons, so I'm quite qualified to review it: It wasn't bad TV show. Actually it was quite good with interesting characters, but it wasn't as good as I was told and I personally don't agree on that statement that it's better than Vikings. Most interesting parts where around queen Daenerys. This TV show gets tense after season 7, however things don't go like we wanted and ending is awfully bad. Basically, this TV show is ruined by stupidly bad ending which leaves you quite upset. In short, GOT is good TV show (not great), ruined by bad ending.
I admit that I never saw the whole series. That said, on January last year I decided to binge watch all of it. First 10 minutes of the first episode left me in awe and as I kept watching I finally understood why everybody loved it. Each episode left me in shock and awe. From shocking character deaths to epic battle scenes. Some of the characters I loved, while a few I hated and glad they finally died. Series 8, as I've finally catched up. I was honestly left disappointed with the ending - and I'd hoped they would save the Nightwalker battle for the last two episodes. Nevertheless, this series was a decent way to end the franchise. Your watch has ended.
