While residential property is still trying to claw its way out of a slump, experts say the down cycle has given the manufactured home sector an advantage over the broader market. According to David Luther of Marcus and Millichap Real Estate Investment Services, manufactured housing has a pattern of outshining its stick-built counterparts in worsening market trends. "[Manufactured housing] does better in a down market," he says. "There's higher turnover and people have a tough time out buying a home, but the tougher the times, the better the product seems to perform." In Texas, for example, where there are 170 manufactured home communities, Jim Gaines of Texas A&M's Real Estate Center says fewer than a third of state households can afford a dwelling priced above $70,000. That fact bodes well for the manufactured housing business, Gaines notes, as there are many units that fall in -- or even below -- that price threshold, even as there are plenty » More that top $100,000. According to the Manufactured Housing Institute, the average price of a manufactured home is $46,000 compared to $162,300 for a site-built dwelling, not including land. Now particularly, with the $8,000 first-time home buyer tax credit, families that have been renting could own a manufactured home for not much difference each month. Despite the affordable pricing, industry insiders point out that manufactured housing is a quality product. "If we can get people in to see them, they just understand," says Shane Causey, president of the Metroplex Chapter of the Texas Association of Manufactured Homes. "There is a disposition when people first hear because they think of old mobile homes, but that's not what's being made today." Federal guidelines implemented in 1976 dictate standards for design and construction, strength and durability, energy efficiency, fire resistance, and » More.

On May 15th, the Senate Banking Committee approved legislation (currently unnumbered) on a 13-9 vote that would eliminate Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and overhaul the nation's secondary housing finance market. The bill, authored by Chairman Tim Johnson (D-SD) and ranking member Mike Crapo (R-ID), now moves to the full Senate. A floor vote this year appears unlikely after several key Democrats on the panel voted against the plan out of concern that it goes too far in eliminating the current system and does not do enough to preserve affordable housing finance options. The bill expands on legislation introduced last year by Sens. Bob Corker (R-TN) and Mark Warner (D-VA) and replaces Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac with a system where the government would explicitly guarantee big losses in the housing market but...

Tried and true 'old-fashion' way to tell time and place!Combine the use of a sundial with the measure of a compass for precise time determinations using an ancient tool. Raise the sundial's triangular gnomon while pointing the compass needle North to reveal the time of day in your latitude location. Accurate time will show only if the local latitude corresponds to angle of gnomon.The aged appearance of this bronze combination sundial and compass adds to its authentic antique allure.

Sasha really had the programs that year. They also showcased a good range of expression for her between the two, looking back at her career I think that 2006 was her best combination of SP/LP. Her PCS would've been higher than Arakawa's if clean in the LP and I think the judges were really on Sasha's side at that competition. It was a beautiful program. Both of them were actually.
Slutskaya's program had the energy, but she didn't have the style and elegance that Arakawa's and Cohen's programs had. I think that the podium would've been the exact same, but Sasha would've flipped with Arakawa. Triple/triple this/that, they all had 7 triples planned in that program and Sasha would've been in the 9's with a clean (and not a Sashaclean-tm, a real clean like that one Marshalls Robin Lake LP but with an even more gorgeous program/styling). Mao 4th, 5th Kwan ( Don't think I've jumped ship. She would've needed a 3/3 in the short, I think her long couldve, shoulda, woulda..)

|Gary Rux, 59
|Written by TRF Times
Thief River Falls - Gary Rux, 59, of Thief River Falls, died on Saturday, July 7, 2012 at Sanford Hospital in Fargo with his mom, daughter and son, and Northrider brother Bryan by his side. Gary left us three days prior to his daughter Taryn having open heart surgery. He knew she needed another guardian angel, and now she will have both of her parents to watch over her.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday, July 21 at 11 a.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church in Thief River Falls, with Rev. John Voelker Ph.D officiating. Casket bearers include T.J. Rux, Kevin Rux, Aron Hejlik, Gannon Hejlik, Bryan Pierson, Greg Dally, Tom Bendickson and Matt Dehne. Honorary casket bearers include Richard Bluemke, Dave Sisler, Myron Dargus and all of the Northriders Motorcycle Club. Interment will be held in the Holt Cemetery in Holt.
Visitation will be held on Friday, July 20 at Trinity Lutheran Church, from 5 to 8 p.m., with a 7 p.m. prayer service and also one hour prior to services at the church on Saturday.
Gary Rux was born April 6, 1953 at St. Luke's Hospital in Thief River Falls, the son of Gail and Lillian (Johnson) Rux. He attended school in Thief River Falls, then St. Hilaire and graduated from Lincoln High School in Thief River Falls in 1971. Gary drove school bus for a short time after high school, and then entered the U.S. Army for a short time but was honorably discharged due to asthma. Following his discharge, he returned to Thief River Falls and worked on the Railroad and at Larson Music.
Gary met his future wife, Shirley Ann Walhaug, while he was performing at Hanson's Bar in Plummer. The two quickly fell in love, and after dating a couple years, they were united in marriage at Salem Lutheran Church near Oklee on April 6, 1974. Gary and Shirley made their home in Thief River Falls, where they raised their children Taryn "Tari" and Trenton "T.J."
At 22 years old, Gary opened an office in Thief River Falls for Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company, which he owned and operated until September 2011, when his courageous battle with cancer began. He received numerous awards and various achievements during his career with Northwestern Mutual and took a lot of pride in being one of the top agents in the country. Gary was very passionate about his work, loved what he did, and called many of his clients "friends."
On Nov. 15, 1992 Gary was fortunate enough to receive a heart transplant which extended his life just short of 20 years.
Gary has enjoyed music, wood carving, painting, both summer and winter fishing, hunting and spending time at the cabin just to get away.
In the past 15 years though his Harley Davidson Motorcycles have been his passion. He bragged about riding 12,000-plus miles per year and has ridden his Harley in all of the contiguous 48 states with plans to travel to Alaska and Hawaii to travel in them all. He was a member of the Northriders Motorcycle Club, the Thief River Falls Eagles, and Trinity Lutheran Church. In the past he was a member of the Elks, and Jaycees. Gary was a true salesman no matter if it was insurance or jelly.
Gary is survived by his children Taryn and TJ (Kari Nelson); grandchildren Aron and Gannon; mother Lillian Rux, all of Thief River Falls; cousin/"brother" Kevin Rux of Apple Valley; friend Matt Dehne; and all of his Northrider brothers.
He was preceded in death by his wife Shirley on June 15, 2011, father Gail Rux on April 5, 2011 and brother Allen Rux on May 5, 2001.
Please check on the caring bridge site tarynruxhejlik to follow Gary's cancer battle and also to follow Taryn's recovery. In Lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials to heart or cancer research.
Family condolences may be sent to www.johnsonfuneralservice.com.

New Orleans is a great city to visit. Recently, a friend told me she and her husband were thinking of visiting there, and asked for my opinion. That turned into…this post. I'm sure many of you have never been to New Orleans, and when you think of it, you think of Hurricane Katrina. It has been several years since that devastating natural disaster almost wiped the city off the map, but New Orleans is resilient.
Where to go, if you go? Well, first off, I think you should visit Annunciation Mission and offer to help them out in some way. This is a church/mission where busloads of Christians stay while coming to New Orleans (aka NOLA) to "do missionary work," which involves re-building homes and more; it helps that the Salvation Army HQ is directly across the street. These two organizations work in tandem to accomplish many projects. The website to visit is www.annunciationmission.org.
Next, make sure you take a ride on one of NOLA's really old streetcars– these 175-year-old cars have old fashioned light bulbs for illumination, and old fashioned, open windows. You get to see a lot of New Orleans for a low price on this charming ride.
Of course you should visit the famous French Quarter. This is where "heaven and hell have a block party," according to my friend Corey Nieman. You'll find souvenir stores, bars and restaurants, and live music on nearly every corner. My favorite band you should seek out is Tuba Skinny. Their lead singer, Erika, is amazing!
Near the French Quarter, in downtown NOLA, visit the Palace Cafe, a beautiful restaurant, and order their catfish. Or walk over to Cafe DuMonde, and get coffee and beignets (fried dough) in a semi-outdoors cafe where you'll be among many tourists and a few locals. Nearby is St. Louis Cathedral, which is bathed in light at night, and interestingly surrounded with real life voodoo priests and soothsayers offering to tell your fortune, for a price, of course.
Finally, you should visit the Lower Ninth Ward to see what happened there– most of the neighborhood is gone, replaced by tall weeds and grasses. There are some new-fangled homes on stilts built by Brad Pitt and his supporters, and Fats Domino's house is worth a picture.
If you can think of any other things people should see in NOLA, post as comments!

Actually they do have a difference, however I would say it was already covered in him saying Decays/Lives. Uncroaking is limited duration reanimation. Decryption is "popping again". That's a substantial difference in terminology.Oberon wrote:You claim some difference by using the terms "unlife" and "2nd life." ... Your special terms have no real meaning.
Yes, because ruler units and warlords have been shown in the past as the supreme experts on magic, so their opinion about the morality of it's use or misuse is VERY relevant to this debate.Oberon wrote:Both are considered to be abominations by royalist sides (examples: Bea, Slately)
PSH please, this is worse than your usual non sequiturs.
My main point is I feel that there are very plausible arguments that support either opinion. HOWEVER, I'd like to point out the at least with regard to Heirship, the whole argument itself has been rendered moot because someone has proven that croaking at all removes tribal affiliations, which Decryption did not recreate. So enough already.

Navicular Syndrome
- By Stacey Oke, DVM, MSc
- Jun 29, 2010
Navicular disease, also called navicular syndrome, navicular region pain, or caudal heel pain, is a "catch all" phrase to describe horses with chronic forelimb lameness caused by pain stemming from the navicular bone and related structures. Navicular disease is most commonly diagnosed in horses between 4 and 15 years of age. Quarter Horses and Thoroughbreds are affected more than any other breeds, whereas ponies and Arabian horses are rarely affected.
This free report includes a complete overview of navicular syndrome, symptoms, treatment and tips for prevention.

Iron-Deficiency Anemia
- Home
- Health Information
- Iron-Deficiency Anemia
(Reduced Iron in Blood)
|Red Blood Cells
|Iron makes a critical component of red blood cells.
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
- Iron that is poorly absorbed in the digestive tract (may occur due to intestinal diseases or surgery)
- Chronic bleeding (eg, heavy menstrual bleeding, bleeding in the gastrointestinal [GI] tract)
- Not enough iron in the diet (common cause in infants, children, and pregnant women)
Risk Factors
- Rapid growth cycles (infancy, adolescence)
- Heavy menstrual bleeding or chronic blood loss from the GI tract
- Pregnancy
- Diets that contain insufficient iron (rare in the United States)
- Breastfed infants who have not started on solid food after six months of age
- Babies who are given cow's milk prior to age 12 months
- Alcoholism
- Serum iron
- Transferrin iron binding capacity
- Serum ferritin level
- Microscope examination of a blood smear
- Fecal occult blood test —to look for hidden blood in the stool
Iron Supplements
Iron-Fortified Cereal
- Eat a diet rich in iron (eg, oysters, meat, poultry, fish)
- Avoid foods that interfere with iron absorption, like black tea
Ask your doctor if your infant is getting enough iron—The general guidelines are:
- Starting at four months, breastfed infants need an iron supplement until they get enough iron from other sources, like infant cereal or iron-fortified formula.
- Bottle-fed infants should get a formula that is fortified with iron.
- Many premature infants need extra iron starting at one month of age.

In fact, primary and secondary education teachers are noticing a new trend among reading students. This trend documents the behavior of how kids are learning to read faster, but they are not increasing their reading comprehension proficiency in the process.

The nation's largest statewide public transportation system says it faces a massive repair and restoration effort in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.
NJTransit, consisting of 12 commuter train lines, 3 light rail lines and 261 bus routes, suffered "unprecedented devastation" from the storm, according to James Simpson, New Jersey's transportation commissioner and chairman of the NJTransit board.
The system normally provides 895,000 weekday trips, servicing 164 rail stations, 61 light rail stations and more than 19,000 bus stops. Little of that activity was evident on Tuesday, however. Instead, transit crews had begun an extensive damage review.
"With the break of daylight, NJ TRANSIT began to inspect and assess the full extent of the damage," Simon said. "Our employees are committed to restoring the system as safely and efficiently as humanly possible."
Commuters who rely on the system to travel between major points in New Jersey, New York and Philadelphia, awoke to the bad news that the service suspensions implemented as Hurricane Sandy approached on Monday were unlikely to be short-lived.
According to NJTransit, there is no estimate for restoration at this time and initial post-storm inspections "reveal damage includes but is not limited to the following:
--Washouts have been reported along the North Jersey Coast Line, as well as at Kearny Junction, a critical link for MidTOWN Direct service to New York City. "
--Flooding has been recorded in Newark Light Rail tunnels while debris has impacted power lines along the Hudson Bergen Light Rail.NJ TRANSIT rail station hubs at Hoboken, Secaucus and Newark Penn Station sustained impacts due to flood waters."
--Two tug boats collided with the North Jersey Coast Line's Raritan River Draw Bridge at approximately 4:15 a.m. this morning. The full impact to the bridge is unknown at this time."
--Three boats and two cargo containers collided with the North Jersey Coast Line's Morgan Drawbridge over the Cheesequake Creek at approximately 4:40 a.m. this morning. Additionally, two boats are also currently resting atop this bridge. The full impact to the bridge is unknown at this time."
The only reference to the timing of any restoration of service was this additional line in a release from the system: "Service will not resume until the State's public transit system is repaired, safe, and secure."
Commuters are being advised to monitor broadcast traffic reports, follow NJTransit's Twitter feed @NJ_TRANSIT or visit njtransit.com. Updated information about specific destinations may also be found at www.njtransit.com/mytransit or by calling (973) 275-5555.

From the producers of the 007 franchise comes 1963's "Call Me Bwana," a harmless, near-pointless spy spoof starring, of all people, Bob Hope.
Thursday, Saturday, ongoing
Welcome to Rod & Reel, the Gazette's first-ever blog covering film, television and video — all the stuff we can't fit in print, whether local, national or international.
Those of you who've arrived here via a Google search, seeking info and tips on fishing, apologies. (But, hey, have you seen "Okie Noodling"?) —Rod Lott
Based on the video game franchise, the live-action "Tekken" debuts Tuesday on Blu-ray and DVD. It's directed by Dwight Little, whose work includes such films as "Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers," "Marked for Death" with Steven Seagal, "Rapid Fire" with Brandon Lee, "Murder at 1600" with Wesley Snipes and "The Phantom of the Opera" with Robert Englund.
R&R: It's been a while since you've done a feature film. You've been working a lot in TV, so why "Tekken"? What brought you back?
Little: It was a chance to re-collaborate with Alan McElroy, the screenwriter, who I did "Halloween 4" and "Rapid Fire" with, and he and I have a great, common creative interest and rapport. I thought the "Tekken" world was a great platform for a martial arts movie. I had some success with "Marked for Death" and "Rapid Fire," and it looked like it was in my area of expertise.
R&R: Were you familiar with the games?
Little: Only in sort of a passing way. I wasn't like a hardcore player, but my two boys are into it, so I get into vicariously. There was a mythology about the family and the Tekken corporation I got inspired by, like you get inspired by a short story or a novel. I also love the ever-changing, interactive fight designs — those were so visually interesting to me. I thought it'd be a way to freshen up the genre of a martial arts action movie.
R&R: Did you approach it any different because it was a video game first?
Little: You look at the existing source material and find the thing that makes you passionate or gets you excited. I made the movie like I would make "Rocky" or "Gladiator" — the goal is to make a good movie, not a good video game. You have to commit to the characters to keep viewers actively committed to the story. Poppy visuals are not going to do it for 100 minutes. Alan and I said, "You know what? Jin and his devil wings, and the boxing kangaroo — let's leave that for a CGI or an anime movie. Let's leave these heavy supernatural items on the table."
R&R: Obviously, you were invested in it, so are you disappointed its theatrical release was so small?
Little: Sure, but that reflects the world we live in. This movie, made 10 years ago, obviously would have been released on 2,000 screens. To market and release a movie now nationally is a $35-to-$40-million commitment in marketing. "Iron Man" and those movies can support that, but there's only seven distributors now, effectively. The way that smaller movies come to the marketplace in an era of a digital world — it's exactly the same as the music business. Our world is changing so fast, but "Tekken" will be platformed on Blu-ray, on Redbox, on iTunes, on VOD and Netflix and pay-per-view, and that's how movies go into the world unless it's Warner Bros. and they have that massive marketing muscle. —Rod Lott

You know. Judging by Faq's growth I'm inclined to accept that. At first I put it at 10 because royal heirs were 60, but now I think it's becoming evident that heirs are astronomically expensive and that's why popping something as an heir is so time sucking. So, okay.
