Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography/Abori'gines
ABORI'GINES (Άβοριγίνες), a name given by all the Roman and Greek writers to the earliest inhabitants of Latuim, before they assumed the appellation of Latini. There can be no doubt that the obvious derivation of this name (ab origine) is the true one, and that it could never have been a national tide really borne by any people, but was a mere abstract appellation invented in later times, and intended, like the Autochthones of the Greeks, to designate the primitive and original inhabitants of the country. The other derivations suggested by later writers, — such as Aberrigines from their wandering habits, or the absurd one which Dionysius seems inclined to adopt, "ab δρεσι" from their dwelling in the mountains, — are mere etymological fancies, suggested probably with a view of escaping from the difficulty, that, according to later researches, they were not really autochthones, but foreigners coming from a distance (Dionys. i. 10; Aur. Vict. Orig. Gent. Rom. 4). Their real name appears to have been Casci (Saufeius, ap. Serv. ad Aen. i. 6), an appellation afterwards used among the Romans to signify anything primitive or old-fashioned. The epithet of Sacrani, supposed by Niebuhr to have been also a national appellation, would appear to have had a more restricted sense, and to have been confined to a particular tribe or subdivision of the race. But it is certainly remarkable that the name of Aborigines must have been established in general use at a period as early as the fifth century of Rome; for (if we may trust the accuracy of Dionysius) it was already used by Callias, the historian of Agathocles, who termed Latinus "king of the Aborigines" (Dionys. i. 72): and we find that Lycophron (writing under Ptolemy Philadelphus) speaks of Aeneas as founding thirty cities "in the land of the Boreigonoi" a name which is evidently a mere corruption of Aborigines. (Lycophr. Alex. 1253; Tzetz. ad loc.; Niebuhr, vol. i. p. 80.)
A tradition recorded both by Cato and Varro, and which Niebuhr justly regards as one of the most credible of those transmitted to us from antiquity, related that these Aborigines first dwelt in the high mountain districts around Reate and in the vallies which extend from thence towards the Mt, Velino and the Lake Fucinus. From hence they were expelled by the Sabines, who descended upon them from the still more elevated regions around Amiternum, and drove them forwards towards the W. coast: yielding to this pressure, they descended into the valley of the Anio, and from thence gradually extended themselves into the plains of Latium. Here they came in contact with the Siculi, who were at that time in possession of the country; and it was not till after a long contest that the Aborigines made themselves masters of the land, expelled or reduced to slavery its Siculian population, and extended their dominion not only over Latium itself, but the whole plain between the Volscian mountains and the sea, and even as far as the river Liris. (Dionys. i. 9, 10, 13, 14, ii. 49; Cato, ap. Priscian. v. 12. § 65.) In this war we are told that the Aborigines were assisted by a Pelasgian tribe, with whom they became in some degree intermingled, and from whom they first learned the art of fortifying their towns. In conjunction with these allies they continued to occupy the plains of Latium until about the period of the Trojan war, when they assumed the appellation of Latini, from their king Latinos. (Dionys. i. 9, 60; Liv. i. 1, 2.)
Whatever degree of historical authority we may attach to this tradition, there can be no doubt that it correctly represents the fact that the Latin race, such as we find it in historical times, was composed of two distinct elements: the one of Pelasgic origin, and closely allied with other Pelasgic races in Italy; the other essentially different in language and origin. Both these elements are distinctly to be traced in the Latin language, in which one class of words is closely related to the Greek, another wholly distinct from it, and evidently connected with the languages of the Oscan race. The Aborigines may be considered as representing the non-Pelasgic part of the Latin people; and to them we may refer that portion of the Latin language which is strikingly dissimilar to the Greek. The obvious relation of this to the Oscan dialects would at once lead us to the same conclusion with the historical traditions above related: namely, that the Aborigines or Casci, a mountain race from the central Apennines, were nearly akin to the Aequi, Volsci, and other ancient nations of Italy, who are generally included under the term of Oscans or Ausonians; and as clearly distinct from the tribes of Pelasgic origin, on the one hand, and from the great Sabellian family on the other. (Niebuhr, vol i. p. 78 — 84; Donaldson, Varronianus p. 3; Abeken, Mittelitalien pp. 46, 47.)
Dionysius tells us that the greater port of the cities originally inhabited by the Aborigines in their mountain homes had ceased to exist in his time; but he has preserved to us (i. 14) a catalogue of them, as given by Varro in his Antiquities which is of much interest. Unfortunately most of the names contained in it are otherwise wholly unknown, and the geographical data are not sufficiently precise to enable us to fix their position with any certainty. The researches of recent travellers have, however, of late years given increased interest to the passage in question, by establishing the fact that the neighbourhood of Reate, and especially the valley of the Salto, a district commonly called the Ciolano, abound with vestiges of ancient cities which, from the polygonal, or so-called Cyclopean style of their construction, have been referred to a very early period of antiquity. Many attempts have been consequently made to identify these sites with the cities mentioned by Varro; but hitherto with little success. The most recent investigations of this subject are those by Martelli (an Italian antiquarian whose local knowledge gives weight to his opinions) in his Storia dei Siculi (Aquila, 1830, 8vo.), and by Bunsen (Antichi Stabilimenti Italici, in the Annali dell Istituto di Corrispondenza Archeologica vol. vi. p. 100, seq.). But the complete diversity of their results proves how little certainty is to be attained. In the following enumeration of them, we can only attempt to give the description of the localities according to Varro, and to notice briefly their supposed identifications.
1. Palatium, from which the city on the Palatine hill at Borne was supposed to have derived its name (Varr. de L.L. v. § 53; Solin. I. § 14), is placed by Varro at 25 stadia from Reate; and would appear to have been still inhabited in his time. (See Bunsen, p. 129, whose suggestion of πόλις οίκουμένη for πόλεως οίκουμένης is certainly very plausible.) Ruins of it are said to exist at a place stall called Pallanti, near Torricella, to the right of the Via Salaria, at about the given distance from Reate. (Martelli, p. 195.) Gell, on the other hand, places it near the convent of La Foresta, to the N. of Rieti, where remains of a polygonal character are also found. Bunsen concurs in placing it in this direction, but without fixing the site.
2. Tribula (Τρίβολα), about 60 stadia from Beate; placed by Bunsen at Santa Felice, below the modern town of Cantalice whose polygonal walls were discovered by Dodwell. Martelli appears to confound it with Tribula Mutusca, from which it is probably distinct.
3. Suesbula, or Vesbula (the MSS. of Dionysius vary between Συεσβόλα and Ούεσβόλα), at the same distance (60 stadia) from Tribula, near the Cersunian Mountains. These are otherwise unknown, but supposed by Bunsen to be the Monti di Leonessa, and that Suesbula was near the site of the little city of Leonessa from which they derive their name.
4. Suna (Σούνη), distant 40 stadia from Suesbola, with a very ancient temple of Mars: 5. Mephlya (Μηφύλα), about 30 stadia from Suna, of which some rains and traces of walls were still visible in the time of Varro: and 6. Orvinium (Όρουίνιον), 40 stadia from Mephyla, the ruins of which, as well as its ancient sepulchres, attested its former magnitude; — are all wholly unknown, but are probably to be sought between the Monti di Leonessa and the valley of the Velino. Martelli, however, transfers this whole group of cities (including Tribula and Suesbula), which are placed by Bunsen to the N. of Rieti to the vallies of the Turano and Salto S. of that city. 7. Corsula (Κορσούλα) a city destroyed shortly before the time of Varro, is placed by him at 80 stadia from Reate, along the Via Curia, at the foot of Mt. Coretum. This road is otherwise unknown*, but was probably that which led from Reate towards Terni (Interamna), and if so, Corsula must have been on the left bank of the Velinus, but its site is unknown.
In the same direction were: 8. Issa, a town situated on an island in a lake, probably the same now called the Lago del Pie di Lugo: and 9. Marruvium (Μαρούίον), situated at the extremity of the same lake. Near this were the Septem Aquae, the position of which in this fertile valley between Reate and Interamna is confirmed by their mention in Cicero (ad Att. iv. 15).
10. Returning again to Reate, and proceeding along the valley of the Salto towards the Lake Fucinus (Dionysius has τήν έπί Λατίνην όδόν είσιούσιν, for which Bunsen would read τήν έπί λίμνην: but in any case it seems probable that this is the direction meant), Varro mentions first Batia or Vatia (Βατία), of which no trace is to be found: then comes
11. Tiora, surnamed Matiene (DRGR Greek, ή καλουμένη Ματιήνη), where there was a very ancient oracle of Mars, the responses of which were delivered by a woodpecker. This is placed, according to Varro, at 300 stadia from Reate, a distance which so much exceeds all the others, that it has been supposed to be corrupt; but it coincides well with the actual distance (36 miles) from Rieti to a spot named Castore, near Sta. Anatolia in the upper valley of the Salto which was undoubtedly the site of an ancient city, and presents extensive remains of walls of polygonal construction. (Bunsen, p. 1 1 5 ; Abeken, Mittelitialien. p. 87.) We learn also finom early Martyrologies, that Sta. Anatolia, who has given name to the modern village, was put to death "in civitate Thora, apud lacum Velinum." (Clnver. Ital. p. 684.) Hence it seems probable that the name of Castore is a corruption of Cas-Tora (Castellum Torae), and that the ruins viable there are really those of Tiora.
12. Lista (DGRG Greek|Λίότα}}), called by Varro the metropolis of the Aborigines, is placed by him, according to our present text of Dionysius, at 24 stadia from Tiora; but there seem strong reasons for supposing that this is a mistake, and that Lists was really situated in the immediate neighborhood of Reate. [Lista.]
13. The last city assigned by Varro to the Aborigines is Cotylia, or Cutilia (Κοτύλια), celebrated for its lake, concerning the site of which (between Civita Ducale and Antrodoao) then exists no doubt [Cutilia.]
Among the cities of Latium itself, Dionysius (i. 44, ii. 35) expressly assigns to the Aborigines the foundation of Antemnae, Caenina, Fibulnea Tellenae, and Tibur: some of which were wrested
- The MSS. of Dionyaus have διά τής Ίουρίας όδού, a name which is certainly corrupt. Some editors would read Ίουνίας, but the emendation of Κονρίας suggested by Bunsen is fer more probable. For the further investigation of this point, see Reate.
f Holstenius, however (Not. ad Clver. p. 114) places Tiora in the valley of the Turano, at a place called Colle Piccolo where there is also a celebrated church of Sta. Anatolia. by them from the Siculians, others apparently new settlements. Little historical dependence can of course be placed on these statements , but they were probably meant to distinguish the cities in question from those which were designated by tradition as of Pelasgian origin, or colonies of Alba.
Sallust (Cat. 6) speaks of the Aborigines as a rude people, without fixed laws or dwellings, but this is probably a mere rhetorical exaggeration: it is clear that Varro at least regarded them as possessed of fortified towns, temples, oracles, &c.; and the native traditions of the Latins concerning Janus and Saturn indicate that they had acquired all the primitive arts of civilisation before the period of the supposed Trojan colony.[ E. H. B. ]

First of all I thought this website was very informative about femdom dating as I had to do a bit of research for this article, although I must admit I have come across a few men that are submissive with my first thought being yes, lets whip his
arse bottom lol. If you have got any 'control tendencies' in your genes I think this just brings it out. Or is it the fact that I have been hurt and shit upon by so many blokes I just want to get my own back and hurt someone, with it being not so bad because he is loving that whip. I should just add I have not done this yet!
We are now in an exploring sex world where anything goes if you both are on the same wave length. Many men are coming out of safe relationships wanting to find themselves and experiment, the Bi world is opening up with both sexes trying things out. Is this because we are naturally a bit nosy and think we are missing something or just the fact that it is ok to try all these things?
Wearing your favourite leather trousers takes on a whole new meaning when your partner has got a leather or PVC fetish, while women suit the look of leather trousers a man would have to be a slim build to get away with it. As for the PVC masks are they just to hide the face or is that really a thing? Why wouldn't you want to see their face? Websites do not answer all your questions!
Then we have the bondage which I feel is a completely different ball game and you have to both be seriously into this type of fantasy. They take strapping you down to a way new level but again it does come down to trust and please make sure you have a safe word and your best mate knows where you are. When you think about strapping a man down with leather straps, masks, collars and leads I'm not sure if that would be classed as fun as it does not look appealing in the photos but the thought of getting your own back and giving him the strap, well, let the beating begin!
I am going to be walking around now wondering who is submissive and who is the dominatrix, they say there are lots in your town and until you get to move in those circles you have no idea what your neighbour is up to. I am so pleased I didn't see someone I know on this site although after I did the last post a bloke from my town popped up, I wonder if he read my blog?
If your feeling a bit nosy and want to do some research, that's what I call it then have a look here subs-and-doms.com this will give you lots to think about or make your weekend something to remember! And no my picture is not on here, I was just having a look.

Arsenal fans demand changes to create better matchday atmosphere
at The Emirates Stadium
New survey puts the introduction safe standing at top of the list
An independent survey of Arsenal supporters has revealed an overwhelming consensus in favour of improving the atmosphere at The Emirates Stadium.
94.5% of those taking part said it was very important (76.8%) or fairly important (17.7%) with 2% saying it was not very important (1.2%) or not important at all (0.8%).
Suggestions for improving the atmosphere were then presented; by far the most popular was the introduction of safe standing, followed by more lower tier (cheaper) seats for home supporters and "initiatives to enable more younger supporters to attend".
Paul Matz, vice-chair of AISA, said:
"What is striking about these results is the overwhelming number of supporters from every part of the stadium who see the need for improving the matchday atmosphere at The Emirates Stadium. Every income group, every age group and fans from every area of the stadium are united in this belief."
"AISA will be presenting the results of this survey to the Club in the near future."
Survey statistics
2,173 fans took part in the survey, conducted by the Arsenal Independent Supporters' Association during November and December 2012.
- 3.0% currently sit in box or club level
- 42.5% upper tier
- 50.1% lower tier
- 4.4% family enclosure
- 2.3% under 18
- 25.3% 18-30
- 33.9% 31-45
- 29.4% 46-60
- 9.0% over 60

Racial Disparaity in Kentucky's Child Welfare System to Be Discussed
Racial disproportionality and disparities for youth and families of color in the area of child welfare services will be the topic of statewide meeting this week.
The Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS) Department for Community Based Services (DCBS), Hardin County Family Court Judge Brent Hall, and community leader and juvenile justice advocate Pastor Edward Palmer will host the annual meeting of the Race Community and Child Welfare (RCCW) Initiative on Thursday at the Elizabethtown Tourism Center.
DCBS Commissioner Adria Johnson said the forum lets child welfare partners discuss strategies to remove barriers for children and families of color.
"Racial disproportionality is prevalent in Kentucky's child welfare program, but by focusing attention to solutions that are specific to the problem, we can preserve families and achieve good outcomes for all children," Johnson said.
In Kentucky, racial disproportionality and disparate outcomes for children of color occur across all public systems. Nationally, children of color are overrepresented in child serving agencies such as education, child welfare and juvenile justice in comparison to their percentage of the population.
Disparate outcomes include children of color removed from their homes and entering out of home care at a rate one and a half times to that of white children. Data shows that children of color are less likely to achieve permanency when exiting out of home care, less likely to graduate from high school, more likely to be suspended from school, are more likely to be committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice for offenses, and more likely to be referred to criminal court as a youthful offender.
The RCCW Initiative engages public system and community partners in developing and evaluating local collaborations and strategies aimed at eliminating disparities for children of color in the child welfare system. In the last year, Hardin County collaborative efforts have eliminated the overrepresentation of African-American children entering foster care in that county. The percentage of children of African-American heritage entering foster care in Hardin County is lower than their representational percentage of all children in the county.
Johnson said the state's RCCW program sponsors workshops for DCBS staff, child care agency providers and other partners to reduce racial bias; provides diversity information for foster parent training and distributes a quarterly newsletter.
Pastor Palmer, of the Sign of the Dove Church in Radcliff, said that racial disparity is a community issue and will take all stakeholders working toward a solution.
"With the number of children in care growing, the state needs support to meet their psychological and biological needs," Palmer said. "It really takes the village to assist those families in crisis, to facilitate better outcome for families and children."
Palmer provides a visitation center at his church for parents and children removed and in foster care to visit frequently thereby increasing the chances of reunifying the family.
Judge Hall helps facilitate Hardin County's Minority Advisory Council, which focuses on improving child protection and court processes, resources and family engagement. Hall recently led a training session of 25 participants, which included court personnel, Foster Care Review Board members, Family Resource Center Coordinators, CASA advocates and community members.
Judge Karen Howze, a national expert on cultural competency and Judge in Residency with the National Council for Juvenile and Family Court Judges, will also speak at the annual meeting.

The proposed new building for the Department of the History of Art and for an expanded Arts Library is located adjacent to the Art and Architecture Building by Paul Rudolph of 1963. The two will be closely interconnected, and this integration reflects the time-honored interaction between the arts and architecture. Encompassing a total gross area of some 175,000 square feet, the new building rises seven floors above the street and has two levels below grade, following the sectional precedent of the Rudolph building.
A top-lit atrium, which accommodates the main reading room of the expanded Arts Library, connects the two buildings. It occupies a void adjacent to the existing structure, which Rudolph had envisioned as a courtyard in the potential expansion of his building. While the principal entrance is located in the new building, the original entry into the Rudolph building will be maintained with direct access into the original northeastern stair/elevator tower or indirect access up the adjacent grand staircase.
The ground floor is mainly given over to the reference library, but it also provides an auxiliary semi-public element, a small exhibition space and a café close to the main entrance. There are two lecture halls in the lowest level of the new building, which, together with Hastings Hall in the basement of the Rudolph building, constitute the new lecture complex.
The new building juxtaposes a small number of enclosed volumes – faculty offices and seminar rooms – with expansive spaces mostly clad in either translucent or transparent glass. In contrast to the "corduroy" concrete of the Rudolph building, the curtain walls and glass roofs of the new building act as membranes filtering natural light into the structure and creating a variety of light conditions according to the time of day and the season.

Virginia House Passes NDAA-Nullifying Bill; Other States Join Fight
The sovereign states are courageously asserting their constitutionally protected right to self-determination by standing up to the federal government and refusing to execute the most noxious provisions of the recently enacted National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Evidence of this laudable resistance to federal tyranny was most recently found in the Old Dominion, where on February 14 an impressive majority (96 out of 100 members) of the Virginia House of Delegates passed HB 1160, a bill that prohibits agents of the state government from "assisting an agency of the armed forces of the United States in the conduct of the investigation, prosecution, or detention of a citizen in violation of the United States Constitution, the Constitution of Virginia, or any Virginia law or regulation."
The bill was sponsored by committed constitutionalist Virginia Delegate Bob Marshall. When asked by The New American what prompted him to author this legislation, Marshall referred to his "oath to uphold the U.S. and Virginia Constitutions. "They say this law [the NDAA] is designed to fight terrorists. You don't defeat terrorists by adopting their tactics." "I will be faithful to my calling to stand against these predators who would sell their birthright for a mess of pottage," he added.
"The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite." These words were written by the Father of the Constitution, James Madison. Marshall certainly understands this principle as he is also the author of the Virginia Healthcare Freedom Act, which nullified ObamaCare in his state.

A Look At The 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC SUV
In a market full of luxury vehicles, the 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLC SUV makes an unforgettable impression on customers. The new GLC offers more-than-ample storage space as the brand's premier mid-sized SUV is perfect for families on the go. Utilizing state-of-the-art radar technology, the GLC also provides unparalleled safety features for you and your passengers.
Mercedes-Benz details the safety and technology features noting, "GLC safety keeps an eye on your future. Radar helps spot hazards in your path. A team of standard and additional systems can monitor all around you, alert you, help you brake, and even respond on your behalf to help reduce collisions…A high-tech suite of systems is available to help make every move easier. Some can make traffic less stressful, from cruising to changing lanes…"
In fact, the 2017 GLC SUV model earned the highest award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The intelligent body construction smoothly avoided collisions in the IIHS track tests and received accolades for the vehicle's upgraded headlights. Due to an intelligent mix of aluminum, high- and ultra-high strength steels, the GLC provided a rigid passenger safety compartment surrounded by deformation zones. In a series of five crashworthiness tests, which include small overlap front, moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraints testing, the GLC SUV received top ratings. The GLC SUV not only received a "superior" rating overall, but the model was categorized as a Top Safety PICK+ vehicle by IIHS. The 2018 GLC SUV has only improved in safety offerings in the last year.
Even with the safety and family-first focus of the GLC, the vehicle is exceptionally luxurious and ultimately powerful. The interior features fine leather materials and heated rear and front seats. The oversized panorama sunroof lets in the crisp outside air and sunshine. Plus, this Mercedes-Benz smells impeccable (even after the new-car scent fades) utilizing an ionizer-purified, fragrance-infused air system.
Shoppers can choose from the GLC 300 SUV, the GLC 300 4MATIC® SUV, and the GLC 350e 4MATIC® SUV. Each option offers a different level of power under the hood, giving you a sporty driving experience. For maximum savings at the pump and minimal environmental impact, the GLC 350e option provides drivers with a 2.0L inline-4 turbo engine plus a plug-in hybrid electric motor.

The Story Behind "Heartbreaks" Pt 1
It all started on a Saturday night, at a fellow artists show here in the bay. I had been talking to this girl I met online, she had some real fresh art to show me. I told her I would be at my friends show and that she should come by the show.
I first saw her at the bar with her friend. I asked if she wanted to blaze outside with me. She was cute and she told me she was lucky.. I said Lucky? Why? She said oh I've seen you around doing your thing, I laughed and said whatever I'm the lucky one you smell like cotton candy. Later on the next day I went to her house. I was and I am a shy guy, so I didn't make any moves on her till I got her to my house.. She came over and we would paint and have fun.. We started dating and everything was going great until..l asked her what she did for work.. she told me she worked at a "Club" I knew once she said a club that meant she was a stripper.. she wouldn't tell me..I had to pry it out of her, then she told me.. I was fine with it to be honest. I can love anyone for them as long as I know who they are.. she didn't want to let me in. with in a few months I would notice that she would get a text and then go into the bathroom to text or call back and then she would tell me some bs about how she had to go help her mom or something. It was only when I knew shit was up that I looked in her phone when she was in the shower, hella dirt…that's when I knew she was doing more than just "stripping".
to be continued……
The Story Behind "Heartbreaks" Pt 2
I would like to start off this blog by letting everyone know I am not proud of my actions that i took.. "HeartBreaks" was my way of getting the last word..
What led up to the big break-up:As of now, if you watched the music video and you read my last blog you know that i got played and lied to, but what you don't know is, when the truth came out about what she does for money it brought the worst out of me.. My feelings were hurt, but the hustle came out in me.. "how can I work this to my favor? Pimping? Sure, why not..?" I had felt so out of control at that point that this move made me feel empowered, thinking like.."at least I get to choose the guys and control her market worth".
So I helped her place ads, started a myspace page for her and replied and helped her reply to tricks.. At this point the love was gone and I was thinking "ok, if we can be friends and I can help you not be a cheap hooker and help you make some real money and i can make some along the way then cool.. lets do it.." I was down.. We were partners.. In hindsight, I do have to admit that I was not a good pimp at all..turning most tricks down claiming they didnt offer enough money. I was really a horrible pimp..you know what they say: Pimpin aint easy! (Especially when you like the chick).
The thing that stopped everything was that she would not stop lying to me.. Time after time.. We were still dating kinda sorta, i guess.. Every night she would sleep in my bed with me and i would hold her.. I would hug n kiss her.. I think the thing that hurt me the most is that I am a very open book and I tell my life story which is not a great one but i tell it to everyone so they can have a piece of me and they can love me for me. My problem is that everyone is not like me.. So I give you me and you give me nothing.. That doesn't work for me.
Anyways, back to the story.. So her lies didn't stop.. One day my sister called me and asked me to come to Oregon and help her with her hardwood floors, being that that was my old job and my sister was pregnant I said no problem and I left the next day. So I told Venus Love: "If you do anything while I'm gone don't do it in my House I will be back in 4 days".. I finished early so I came home sooner than expected.. When I got home I noticed a condom wrapper on my bed and my place was trashed. she wasn't home.. So I call her pissed off and I told her I was home.. She rushed back to the house and told me that her and two hood rats had came over and were playing with a dildo and that is why there was a condom wrapper on my bed because they used the condom on the dildo.. "1st off I said bring no one over here 2nd I don't believe you!".. So I woke up at 5am the next day and packed all her shit, woke her up and told her to get the fuck out.. she didn't want to leave.. So I threw all her shit out into the street.. She was upset and crying, telling me she loved me and asking my why am I doing this to her.. She wouldn't leave, So I had to pack all her shit into my car plus her.. she wanted a ride to her home town.. 2 hours with this bitch in a car?hell naw!.. I took her to the train station.. She wouldn't get out the car. then she started telling me she was going to call the cops on me.. "huh, for what??" she started dialing so I grabbed her phone and threw it as far as i could knowing that she would run after it.. Once she ran to get it I unpacked the car and burned out on my way out..
peace Venus Love………………….. Like I said I am not proud of the story but real is real.. in the video it shows me leaving her but the truth is I threw her out and there was a ton of shit that led to that..

Nottingham: Slow left-arm chinaman Kuldeep Yadav's 6 for 25 on Thursday helped India bowl out England for 268 in the first One Day International at Trent Bridge here.
Kuldeep Yadav has now become the second chinaman bowler after Australia's Brad Hogg to pick five or more wickets in an ODI.
Asked by Indian skipper Virat Kohli to bat first, England started off well with both openers Jason Roy (38) and Jonny Bairstow (38) providing England a strong start with a 73-run opening stand.
However, the match soon turned in the favour of India when Kuldeep Yadav was brought in the 11th over. He produced three wickets in successive overs, taking apart the top order.
Later, wicket keeper Jos Buttler (53) and all-rounder Ben Stokes (50) were among the top scorers.
Besides Kuldeep Yadav, pacer Umesh Yadav took two wickets while right arm wrist spinner Yuzverdra Chahal put a break to England skipper Eoin Morgan inning.
India now will have to start off well to achieve the target of 269.
Playing XI –
India: Virat Kohli (Captain), Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, KL Rahul, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni, Hardik Pandya, Siddarth Kaul, Kuldeep Yadav, Umesh Yadav, Yuzverdra Chahal
England: Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan(c), Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Moeen Ali, David Willey, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood (ANI)

There's a looming shortage of qualified construction trades-people in Canada, and while that's a good thing for the skilled trades, it's less so for everyone else from homebuyers to residential and commercial builders.
That was the take-away message at a one-day event Tuesday attended by 400 employers and potential employees in Ottawa's construction industry. Organized by the provincially funded and awkwardly named group Ottawa Integrated Local Labour Market Planning, the event was held at the Algonquin Centre for Construction Excellence. It combined a morning session for employers about how to survive a changing labour market with an afternoon information/job fair program for Algonquin College students and other job seekers.
Within 10 years, Canada will see a shortage of 800,000 skilled workers, said the morning keynote speaker, Linda Duxbury, a professor at Carleton University's Sprott School of Business and a workplace expert. The reasons enumerated by Duxbury and others range from the imminent, large-scale retirement of existing tradespeople to our habit over the past few decades of encouraging young people to shun the trades in favour of high-tech and other sectors.
In Ottawa, a relatively stable economy together with large infrastructure projects like the redevelopment of Lansdowne Park and Light Rail Transit construction will suck up skilled trades, resulting in more demand than supply, according to the 2012 Ottawa Integrated Local Labour Market Plan, which reported on the state of the labour market and offered a plan to enhance it.
Even a new program to increase the number of skilled foreign trades-people entering Canada announced by Immigration minister Jason Kenney late last year will have minimal impact, especially in residential construction. It allows for the entry of just 3,000 people per year, including welders and pipefitters, trades not normally associated with home building.
None of this is news to Greg Graham, Cardel Homes' Ottawa president and one of the panellists for a morning discussion on building a strong workforce.
Labour shortages have been a growing and serious issue in residential construction for several years, he said in an interview. "It used to take five months from the time of sale until the house was built. Now it's six or eight months. House prices have gone up, too, because there's a shortage of trades so they demand higher pay."
Graham said that finish carpenters, drywallers and others are hardest to find.
On the other hand, when he speaks at schools, students seem increasingly interested in working with their hands and "actually producing something."
A 2012 report by the Certified General Accountants Association of Canada, meanwhile, says labour shortages come and go fairly quickly and the situation for skilled tradespeople in Canada is generally healthy.
Greg Zwiers is cautiously optimistic. The 19-year-old building construction technician student, who graduates this summer, was cruising the job fair with a friend.
He plans to work in residential construction and is confident that, provided he can first land an apprenticeship without undue difficulty, he'll be home free. In addition to a technical knowledge of construction, Zwiers said tradespeople "need good social skills because you're working in a team."
A class prevented him from seeing the afternoon's star attraction: Renovator Mike Holmes of HGTV's Holmes Makes It Right fame. The burly Holmes delivered a rambling presentation on his own career and television show, green building and the need for greater regulation and professionalization of the home construction industry.

Storage Tips
We recommend storing your Domyos shoes in a dry, ventilated area away from light.
Shoes designed for children's feet:
Between the ages of 1 and 6, feet play an important role in a child's growth and development. Our shoes meet the specific needs of children's feet during the different development phases.
Which shoes should I choose for my child?
From 1 to 2 years (sizes 3.5C to 6.5C): starting to learn to walk. Feet are flat, round and chubby: Our I LEARN shoes are extremely flexible to support children's natural development. From 3 to 6 years (sizes 7.5C to 11.5C): walking, running and jumping improves. The feet get stronger and more slender, with the arch beginning to form: our I Move shoes are flexible and support the heel
Characteristics of kids' feet (3 to 6 years):
For children aged 3 to 6 who run and jump, you should choose a shoe that protects their feet while also offering good freedom of movement. The Domyos I MOVE shoes also offer great support at the back of the foot. Kids of this age are both developing (height, weight), and increasing their level of physical activity (increased intensity and duration). They therefore need more support and protection.
Choosing the right size
It's very easy to check the size: remove the shoe's insole and put it on the ground; place your child's foot flat on top of it, with their heel level with the back of the insole; if their toes are in the hatched area at the other end of the insole, it's the right size! Remember to regularly check your child's shoe size because, between the ages of 1 and 3, their feet will grow significantly: take a look at the "which size?" section of our website.
Arch support or not?
At the start of our lives, we naturally have flat feet. From the moment we learn to walk, our arches gradually begin to form as our foot muscles develop. This is why children do not need arch support in their shoes when they are still growing (unless otherwise indicated by a healthcare professional).
The benefits of physical activity at a young age
Regularly doing physical activity from as young an age as possible is good for a child's physical and mental development. It helps establish a good lifestyle habit which will reduce the risk of health problems later on in life. Furthermore, doing a group physical activity with others encourages social integration and contributes to a child's personal development.
Physical and mental benefits
What are the physical benefits? Developing motor skills and physical abilities Developing strength and flexibility Promoting growth Fighting obesity What are the mental benefits? Promoting self-confidence Helping kids integrate into a group Achieving success at school Helping rid them of stress and anxiety
Doing Baby Gym
Do you know what baby gym is? This fun gymnastic sport is available to children aged 10 months to 6 years and is done on specially designed equipment. Baby gym helps children develop their motor skills through a range of exercises and actions. It primes them for other sports.

BEEFEST SATURDAY 27TH JUNE 2020 – 12pm-4pm
After a successful first festival last year, Beefest is back again in Poundbury, Dorset this summer.
BeeFest is the first festival of its kind, celebrating all that's great about the humble bumble.
Taking place on Saturday 27th June on Poundbury's Great Field, BeeFest will be buzzing with some of the South West's best food, drink and products inspired by our favourite hive-dweller.
The aim of this event is to raise awareness about Bee's and for the family to have a great afternoon out. This is a free event for the family. Why not bring a picnic or enjoy the Burger or Hotdog from the Bee BBQ!
We are all familiar with the current plight of the British bee; with bee numbers taking a significant hit in recent years it is critical that we take up the cause to ensure that bees can continue to play their crucial role in our ecosystem.
In simple terms: 97% of bee-friendly wildflower meadows have been lost since the 1930s, and it is estimated that it would cost UK farmers alone a whopping £1.8billion to pollinate their crops without bees.
HRH the Duke of Cornwall has long since been an advocate of the British bee and is delighted that this exciting event is to be held in the Duchy of Cornwall development of Poundbury. Prince Charles is already working hard to champion our buzzy friends, with the Clarence House bees producing over 40lbs of honey a year.
After His Royal Highness recently received a birthday gift of three personalised hives, the Highgrove estate is also doing its bit to provide new habitat for our native bees.
With The Duchy of Cornwall's newest development, Nansledan in Cornwall, His Royal Highness has undertaken to set his commitment to bee conservation in stone – literally! – investing thousands of pounds installing 'bee bricks' into many of the newly built homes.
So as you can see, BeeFest could not come at a better time.

Asia and Pacific
Despite the active participation of many Asia and Pacific governments at the Rome Conference, meetings of the Preparatory Commission and Assembly of States Parties, as well as current representation at the International Criminal Court (ICC) by Judge Sang-Hyun Song of the Republic of Korea and Judge Fumiko Saiga of Japan, the region remains significantly underrepresented at the ICC. To date, only 17 States, including Australia, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Cook Islands, Fiji, Japan, Maldives, Marshall Islands, Mongolia, Nauru, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea, Samoa, the Philippines, Timor Leste and Vanuatu have become States Parties to the ICC. Although the Salomon Islands and Thailand have signed the Statute, they still need to ratify the ICC treaty. Actively working toward increasing ratifications of the Rome Statute remains a key priority for the Coalition in this region.
Recognizing the importance of ensuring the effective implementation of the Rome Statute into national law, ICC legislation has been enacted in Australia, Japan, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea and Samoa, and significant government strides have been carried out in Afghanistan, Mongolia, Fiji and Timor Leste. In many of these cases, partner civil society groups have worked closely with governments through roundtables and discussions, commenting on and enriching the drafts. This crucial step of implementation will ultimately help States strengthen the rule of law and develop sustainable national legal systems which apply the highest standards of justice.
List of Subregions
Out of the 24 countries in Asia, only 9 (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Maldives, Mongolia, the Philippines, the Republic of Korea and Timor-Leste and Japan) have ratified the Rome Statute. Asia is a region that remains significantly under-represented at the Court, although civil society has been strong in advocating for international justice and the rule of law across the continent. Of these States Parties, only the Republic of Korea has enacted ICC implementing legislation. Afghanistan is taking appropriate steps in coordination with civil society groups to initiate their implementing legislation process and Mongolia set up a working group on the ICC to discuss and follow up on ICC implementation some years ago, but the process has been stalled for some time. Cambodia and Timor-Leste have similarly moved slowly in effectively carrying out their emergent obligations under the Rome Statute. Only the Republic of Korea has ratified the Agreement on the Privileges and Immunities of the Court (APIC) in the region. Although Mongolia is a signatory, it still needs to move forward and ratify this important instrument that will ensure the independent and effective operation of the ICC in practice.
Australia and New Zealand assumed a leadership role in the region by promptly ratifying the Rome Statute and implementing their obligations under the International Criminal Courts (ICC) treaty into their national law. With 16 States in the Pacific, and only 6 other ratifications or accessions to the Rome Statute in the region (Cook Islands, Fiji, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Samoa and Vanuatu), much work remains to be conducted to propel the ICC issue back into the political agenda of many of these Island States and encourage them to become States Parties to this historic human rights mechanism. Nevertheless, some important strides have been made in relation to implementation. In late 2007 Samoa enacted its ICC implementation Act. Fiji also has a draft ICC implementation bill.

Ending Ruan Pienaar's seven-year stay at Ulster could damage the Irish provinces' ability to recruit top global stars, according to Shane Horgan.
Irish chiefs blocked Ulster's attempts to extend Pienaar's contract past next summer, challenging the Ravenhill province to promote from within instead.
The Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) has defended the policy of championing home-grown talent in a bid to boost depth at scrum-half, but Horgan remains sceptical.
The former British and Irish Lions wing believes forcing 88-cap Springboks half-back Pienaar to leave Ulster "sends out a bad message" to future potential recruits at all four Irish provinces.
"Ruan Pienaar's been there for quite a number of years, he's performed very well, he's a key member of their culture and has helped developed that," Horgan said.
"There's some risks in that it sends out a bad message to other overseas players.
"It's important not to dissuade other players from building a life here."
"He's come and done the right thing, he's built a life in Belfast. It's never been just a money deal for him. He's invested in the community there, he's invested in the club.
"From that perspective you've got to be wary that you don't stop similar players doing the same thing.
"All the overseas players that have been successful in Ireland have totally embraced the life.
"The ones that haven't been successful are the ones who have come for money. So it's important not to dissuade other players from building a life here."
Ulster issued a statement on Wednesday insisting the Belfast outfit were disappointed not to be able to extend Pienaar's contract once more.
The 32-year-old looks set for a switch to France, though Ulster hope to bring him back to the province in a coaching capacity in the long-run.
The IRFU's performance director David Nucifora countered Ulster's confirmation of Pienaar's situation, insisting the province must instead "develop indigenous talent in this position".
Former Leinster and Ireland wing Horgan fully supports the IRFU's succession planning, but believes Irish bosses may have taken a step too far by ushering Pienaar out of Ulster's door.
"It's an important consideration for the IRFU to develop players for the overall health of the game," said Horgan.
"But players can be developed within the existing framework.
"If there was a player really knocking on the door in that position and that was clear, then fine, but that's not the case at the moment.
"You've got to think about the development of the entire squad. If you take out a key player at nine and you don't have an indigenous player to perform at that level, then you're compromising maybe the development of the whole squad. And you may have to sign someone anyway.
"I understand the philosophy behind it, but it's not just a case of a foreign player leaving means automatically we'll have an international nine slotting in.
"If players there aren't good enough to be pushing consistently, I'm not sure that's going to change just because you give someone more game time."

Repulsive Casimir-Polder forces on a magnetic particle
We explore the feasibility of realizing repulsive Casimir-Polder (CP) forces for a magnetic particle near a surface. Considering the toy model of an atom with an electric-dipole transition and an arbitrarily large magnetic spin, we analyze the interplay between the repulsive magnetic-dipole and the attractive electric-dipole contributions to the total CP force. Particularly noting that the magnetic CP interaction is relatively longer-ranged than the electric CP interaction due to the difference in their respective characteristic transition frequencies, we find a regime where the repulsive magnetic contribution to the total force can potentially exceed the attractive electric part in magnitude, thus making the overall force repulsive. We discuss some fundamental constraints and conditions necessary for achieving such a repulsion, identifying the magnetizability to polarizability ratio for the particle as a key figure of merit. We analyze ways to further enhance the magnitude of the repulsive magnetic CP force for an excited magnetic atom, such as, by preparing the atom in a ``super-radiant'' magnetic sub-level, and designing surface resonances close to the magnetic transition frequency. Our results could be instructive in identifying potential systems, mechanisms, and regimes where one could realize stable levitation via repulsive magnetic Casimir-Polder forces.

Languedoc-Roussillon is a large area that sweeps across southern France from the Spanish border to the Rhône estyary. Commonly known as the Midi, it produces almost one third of all French wines and is currently a hot bed of innovation and exciting winemaking.
Hillside locations are replacing the flatland vineyards which once produced an enormous amount of Vin Ordinaire. Emphasis is now being placed in lower yields, barrique ageing and more complex blending. Many Rhône varieties, such as Syrah and Grenache, are planted here to grow alongisde Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot ans Chardonnay. Other well-known grape varieties can be seen on wine labels, perticularly from the Vin de Pay d'Oc, an area covering the whole of the Languedoc-Roussillon. Important appellations include Minervois, Corbiéres, Fitou and Côtes de Roussillon.
Up and coming
Provence lies to the southeast of Avignon abd extends to the Italian border. A popular holiday destination, mostly dry rosé and red wines are made here. With a Mediterrean climate and some favourable soil conditions, both Languedoc-Roussillon and Provence can provide consistency in terms of quality against price, without too much variation from one year to the next. Several Australian winemakers have now brought their own ideas and experience to this part of France, which is sometimes deschbed as 'where the new world meets the old'. Dynamic and foeard thinking, they are shaping the future of these two historic regions. It is interesting to note that well-known French companies looking to expand their interests have also established wineries and contracts with local growers.
{slide=Did you know?}
The wines of Maury, with flavours of sweet blackberry and a nutty, raisin-like richness, make an excellent partener to chocolate.
|Some producers, such as Mas de Daumas Gassac, have successfully made and sold wines under a humble Vin de Pays, while reaching a level of quality and price that one would normally associate with more famous place names. Gradually, the south of France is no longer being seen as the bargain basement of bulk wine.


text: Lent is just around the corner, and many Christians "give up" or fast from something in Lent as a spiritual discipline to make themselves more aware of their discipleship in daily life. One way to reflect on stewardship of creation as a spiritual discipline in daily life is to take up an "carbon fast" for Lent. Obviously, there is no way to fast from all carbon, but we can seek to reduce our carbon use to make ourselves more aware. The blog "No Oil in the Lamp" has some great tips.

Conflict Patterns Increase Divorce Risk
A new study out of the University of Michigan (U-M) reveals that divorce rates are higher in partnerships where one spouse deals with conflict constructively and the other spouse withdraws.
Researchers noted that this pattern is particularly toxic if one spouse deals with conflict constructively — by calmly discussing the situation, listening to their partner's point of view, or trying hard to find out what their partner is feeling, for example — and the other spouse withdraws.
"This pattern seems to have a damaging effect on the longevity of marriage," said U-M researcher Kira Birditt, first author of a study on marital conflict behaviors and implications for divorce published in the October 2010 issue of the Journal of Marriage and Family.
"Spouses who deal with conflicts constructively may view their partner's habit of withdrawing as a lack of investment in the relationship rather than an attempt to cool down."
On the flip side, when both spouses used constructive strategies, divorce rates were lower, according to Birditt.
One of the largest and longest research projects to look at patterns of marital conflict, the Early Years of Marriage Study provided the data determining this conflict pattern. The greater study encompassed interviews with 373 couples at four different intervals over a 16-year period beginning with a couple's first year of marriage.
Both individual behaviors and patterns of behavior between partners were assessed to determine the effects on the likelihood of divorce. Researchers also examined whether behavior changed over time, and whether there were racial or gender differences in behavior patterns and outcomes.
The study is one of a handful that has included a high enough proportion of black couples that researchers can assess racial differences in conflict strategies and their effects.
Findings revealed that 29 percent of husbands and 21 percent of wives reported having no conflicts during their first year of marriage in 1986. By 2002, the last year of the study, 46 percent of the couples had divorced.
Past research reveals that newlyweds who yell or call each other names are also at higher risk for divorce. Researchers noted that it was interesting to find that conflict reported by couples during the first year of marriage did not affect whether they had divorced by the last year studied.
Overall, husbands reported using more constructive behaviors and fewer destructive behaviors than wives. But over time, wives were less likely to use destructive strategies or withdraw, while husbands' use of these behaviors stayed the same through the years.
"The problems that cause wives to withdraw or use destructive behaviors early in a marriage may be resolved over time," Birditt said. "Or, relationships and the quality of relationships may be more central to women's lives than they are to men. As a result, over the course of marriage, women may be more likely to recognize that withdrawing from conflict or using destructive strategies is neither effective nor beneficial to the overall well-being and stability of their marriages."
The study also revealed that black American couples were more likely to withdraw during conflicts than white couples, although black couples were less likely to withdraw from conflict over time.
Birditt said that she hopes the study will lead to additional research on marriage conflict to provide better insight into the dynamics behind how conflict changes or stabilizes over time.
The Early Years of Marriage Study was supported by funding from the National Institute of Aging and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.

The California Science Center's space potty traveled into space aboard Endeavour, serving as a high-tech solution to one of space travel's most pressing concerns.
In the microgravity environment on orbit, where everything floats, waste doesn't plop right into the toilet like it does on Earth. Without the familiar tug of gravity, poop doesn't fall off. Urine clings to any surface it touches. And water can't be used for flushing because it wouldn't stay in the toilet! To solve the delicate problem of separating waste from astronauts in space, engineers and scientists developed the Waste Collection System, or WCS, which pulled pee and poop away from the body using airflow--kind of like how a vacuum cleaner works.
To use the WCS, astronauts would pee into a funnel attached to a hose that sucked the urine away. They would poop in a hole in the potty seat, but the hole was much smaller than the holes in toilet seats on Earth. Airflow would pull the poop into the right spot to be stored. For more information on going to the bathroom in space, check out the links below.

Who doesn't love a good bargain? Buying a foreclosed home can score you a great deal and be a smoother process than working with a traditional owner.
"The advantage of purchasing a foreclosure property is, in short, price," says John Soffee, a Realtor with Freedom Realty Services in Midlothian, Virginia.
However, the process is more nuanced than buying a traditional listing. If you're wondering how to buy a foreclosed home, consider this your primer.
What is a foreclosure?
Foreclosures happen when a lender takes a property from an owner who has defaulted on their mortgage and has fallen behind on payments. Lenders, in turn, will try to recoup as much of their investment as possible by selling a foreclosed home for slightly less than it might be worth.
In the right situation, "you are getting something below market value because the bank is motivated to get the home sold," says Rose Sklar of The Sklar Team of Coldwell Banker in Weston, Florida. "Also, the bank tends to negotiate more than a typical seller would."
5 steps to buying a foreclosed home
Here are some tips to prepare you before buying a foreclosed home:
- Find an agent specializing in foreclosures.
- Get a preapproval letter.
- Look at "comps" before making an offer.
- Bid higher if other foreclosures are selling fast.
- Be prepared to buy a foreclosure in "as-is" condition.
1. Find an experienced real estate agent
Hire an agent who is knowledgeable about the foreclosure process to represent your interests and will keep the transaction moving. One strategy for finding the right agent is to visit websites with a database of foreclosed homes in your desired area. Look for Realtors who have specialized real estate training in this area, such as the Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE) or the Short Sales and Foreclosure Resource (SFR) designations.
A buyer can work directly with the bank's real estate agent instead of using a buyer's agent to save on the commission split. This can be a risk, though, because "buyers feel more secure when they are (directly) represented," Soffee says.
If you find an agent you want to work with to buy a foreclosed home, ask them to look out for foreclosure properties that meet your criteria. These listings can go fast, so be prepared to move quickly.
2. Get a preapproval letter
Unless you can afford to pay cash, you'll want a mortgage preapproval letter in hand when you make an offer on a foreclosure, Soffee says.
"It separates the lookers from the buyers," he says. Preapproval letters detail how much money you can borrow, based on the lender's thorough assessment of your credit score and income.
Find a mortgage lender who understands your goals, and gather the necessary paperwork to obtain a preapproval letter.
"It's always good to be prepared," Sklar says. "Having your proof of funds will make it an easier transaction."
3. Look at 'comps' before making an offer
Finding the right price to offer is as much an art as it is a science. Your agent can run a comparative market analysis (CMA), which helps you understand recent sale prices of comparable properties, or "comps."
Soffee says he runs a CMA from the last 180 days and evaluates several factors, including the pace of home sales, tax assessment history and a deeper analysis of similar properties nearby that have recently sold.
4. Bid the higher price if other foreclosures are selling quickly
There's no exact formula on what the bank's bottom line will be, so if foreclosed homes in your area are selling quickly, it's important to work with your agent to craft a strong offer, backed up by your preapproval letter. In many instances, foreclosures are already discounted so an offer that's too low might be a non-starter for the bank.
Keep in mind that the type of house and location matter, and some homes might sell faster than others. In competitive markets, you might need to offer asking price (or slightly more if there are multiple bids) and keep contingencies at a minimum.
5. Be prepared to buy a foreclosed home in 'as-is' condition
When purchasing a foreclosure, the property is usually sold in "as-is" condition. This means that the seller can't guarantee the property's condition, such as whether it has termites, structural issues or lead paint, for example, and is unlikely to make repairs.
"Since a foreclosure is owned by the bank, there is no one to fix any current issues," Sklar says.
Get a home inspection if you plan to buy a foreclosed home so you know exactly what you're in store for. A home inspection isn't required to buy a home, but it can identify major issues the bank isn't aware of so you can decide whether to move forward with your home purchase — or to walk away from the deal if you included a home inspection contingency in your contract.
Is buying a foreclosed home a good idea?
Buying a foreclosed home is a personal decision and it depends on a variety of factors, including your risk tolerance and potential reward, financing and ability to move quickly. You could reap big savings if the foreclosure is priced right, so don't discount this type of listing in your home search.
How to buy a foreclosed home: Get a loan or pay in cash?
Foreclosures tend to get scooped up by real estate investors who often pay in cash. Don't let that discourage you; many lenders will help you find the right financing to buy a foreclosed home. If you're up against cash offers, though, make sure your offer is a competitive one.
Your lender will require an appraisal to assess the home's value so keep that in mind when making your offer. If there's a shortfall between your offer and the home's appraised value, you may have to make up the difference in price if the bank (the seller) doesn't budge.

For those that have decided to start their own aquaponic garden, selecting fish and crops is a fairly easy process. Their are not many limitations on the types of fish and crops you can introduce, although their could be certain limits depending on where you live. Climate can have a effect on certain species of fish and plants. An alternative method plan would be to use a greenhouse to house your aquaponic garden or like most persons that practise this form of gardening you can turn your basement or garage into the ideal garden. Once you have an understanding on how of how an aquaponic system works selecting fish and plants become easier.
An aquaponic garden is basically a self sufficient eco-system which will supply you and your family with fish, vegetables, fruit and herbs throughout the year, depending on the size. The fish supply the much needed nutrients for the plants to feed by way of effluent, the plants in turn filter the water of the fish waste and clean water is returned to the tank or pond via a pump leaving the water clear. The plants do not need fertilizer as they get all the nutrients needed from the fish. No chemicals are used such as pesticides so it is the most natural healthy way to put food on the table. This system only creates healthy bacteria which are needed to keep the whole balanced and productivity high.
When selecting fish it is a good idea to establish what fish you and your family like eating. Many people choose tilapia but with this species they can survive in temperatures in the lower 60s but will not thrive unless the water temperature is in the mid to high 70s. Alternately trout will survive easily in temps in the 65 range but will not thrive unless the e water temperature upper 40s to low 50s. On the other hand some people do not wish to eat fish so they tend to keep ornamental fish such as goldfish or koi carp.
If your system is undercover or indoors then it is easy to regulate the temperature by way of a pond or pool heater, this can be an advantage by having the temperature set to where your fish thrive constantly and not just certain times of the year. Other fish that are becoming popular are catfish, bluegill, perch, bass and even crayfish. The most important thing to do before purchasing your fish is to inquire what temperatures they will survive and thrive in.
When selecting plants for your system it is always a good idea to check with the plant specialist about PH levels that plants require. Most people like to grow green leafy type vegetables as they produce lush green leaves and are full of nutrients due to the high nitrogen filled fertilizer produced by the fish. Lettuce, Spinach, Bok Choy, and Watercress are familiar favorite's.
Once you have decided on what fish or plants you want in your aquaponic garden then you have to work out how many of each you will need to keep it balanced. The first thing you will have to work out is the fish to water ratio a good guide is 3 to 3.5 gallons of water to every pound of tilapia, meaning a 300 gallon set up could keep 100 pounds of tilapia, given oxygen levels, PH levels and nutrients.
Here are some examples of ratios for fish tank gallons, grow bed size and pounds of fish. The first example is a grow bed of 2ft x 10ft with a 120 gallons of tank water, 132 media gallons could house 40 pounds of fish. A grow bed of 4ft x 10ft with 320 gallons of tank water, and 264 media gallons could house 80 pounds of fish.
As you can see the more you increase in size the more you get by way of sustainable food, more than enough for one family.

Mugabe's assets freeze and travel ban to stay in place.
Alyn Smith, SNP member of the European Parliament's Foreign Affairs committee has given a cautious welcome to the EU's decision to resume aid to Zimbabwe, following a decade of sanctions imposed due to reports of gross human rights abuses by President Robert Mugabe and his administration.
The €234 million aid package unveiled in the country's capital Harare will fund health care, agriculture and good governance projects over the next six years, but there are ongoing concerns over effective control of distribution and the utilisation of the EU funds.
Alyn said:
"The aid package marks an important step in EU-Zimbabwean relations but while Zimbabwe have shown signs of progress we must remain cautious. Despite sanctions, the EU remained a major donor to Zimbabwe and channelled funds through NGOs and multi-lateral agencies giving us reassurance that the funds were reaching people in need while bypassing the treasury.
"The resumption of aid is a way of encouraging further political change in Zimbabwe while retaining some leverage over Mugabe to pursue reforms but we must take all steps to ensure these funds remain out of the hands of the corrupt regime.
"With the widespread corruption and the lack of mechanisms to manage aid on the governmental level the fears over effective distribution of the aid are not unfounded. Despite its wealth of natural resources that could support job creation and increased exports, Zimbabwe faces huge economic, social and political barriers.
"Mugabe has been president of Zimbabwe since 1987 and the once-prosperous country has struggled since his administration began seizing white-owned farms in 2000. International human rights organisations have long denounced Mugabe's policies and despite resuming aid for Zimbabwe, the president and his wife's assets remain frozen, the travel ban is still in place and there has been no discussion on the arms embargo."
