WASHINGTON (AP) - A measure of Americans who signed contracts to buy homes increased last month to its highest level in two and a half years, the latest sign of improvement in the once-battered housing market.
Across the country, cypress siding is becoming increasingly popular among homeowners who are looking to add value, durability, and a lifetime of good looks to their homes.
DEAR BENNY: Some time ago I entered into a sales contract with my then-fiancee to buy a house. Both our names (hers was in her maiden name) were on the sales contract, which we both signed. I turned over my half of the down payment, we went to closing and we owned the house (or so I thought). Some time after that I learned that the deed was in her name only. I went to the closing attorney who told me I didn't own anything (the house).
It's a mad, mad, mad, mad housing market.
If all is working well, most homeowners put little thought into their water heater. But when this critical appliance fails, it can be a nightmare that halts a home's productivity completely. With no hot water for washing dishes and clothes - let alone for bathing - homeowners are left scrambling to find a new water heater as fast as possible.
DEAR BENNY: I have just been elected president of my 200-unit condominium association and have heard that some property managers throughout the country have embezzled association funds. How can we protect ourselves and our money? --Fred
WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. builders broke ground on fewer homes in November after starting work in October at the fastest pace in four years. Superstorm Sandy likely slowed starts in the Northeast.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Average rates on U.S. fixed mortgages rose this week but remained near record lows, a trend that is leading more Americans to buy homes or refinance their loans.
Looking for a simple, inexpensive way to turn an aging family room into a dazzling showcase? Inspired design professionals will tell you one of the most popular and cost-effective ways to transform a plain space into a room with sizzle is to adorn it with millwork crafted from American hardwoods.
If you're like many homeowners, you consider the patio an extension of your home. So it's fair to ask: Would you be just as comfortable nestled in with your favorite book or preparing a meal in your outdoor space as you would in your living room or your kitchen? As you contemplate ways to improve your outdoor area, think about projects that can both extend the hours you spend outside and make the time you spend there more relaxing.
There are three ways you can possibly lower your property tax bill, two of which can be accomplished without investing even an hour of your time.
What does a homeowner do when he's so happy with his colorful new Bellaforté roof that he wants to share it with family and friends? If that homeowner is Dan Baer, he throws a roof party!
With the fast-paced lives people can lead today, often we strive for instant gratification to fit into our busy schedules. So when it comes to home improvement projects, wouldn't you love an instant update for boring home decor? Fortunately, there are numerous fast fixes that can produce fantastic results. Try these easy update ideas and realize the rewards of a fabulous and functional home makeover.
LOS ANGELES (AP) - U.S. home repossessions rose to a nine-month high in November, even as the number of homes starting on the path to foreclosure declined to the lowest level in six years.
WASHINGTON (AP) - A government report finds median pay for nearly 2,000 senior managers at government-controlled Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac exceeded $200,000 last year.
The average American spends an hour a day in the kitchen preparing food and cleaning up afterward, according to the American Time Use Survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Add in the time it takes to put groceries away, load and unload dishwashers, organize cabinets and pantries or just hang out, and you spend a whole lot of time in your kitchen.
Nearly everyone (96 percent) wastes up to an hour each week pre-washing their dishes, according to a recent survey. But the reality is that the outdated ritual of pre-washing can actually result in dirtier dishes and waste a valuable resource - water!
Everyone has a preferred style of kitchen, no matter if you're a chef at heart or just prefer to heat something frozen using the microwave. You may be surprised to discover your personality influences the style of kitchen you prefer. So, do you know what style matches your personality?
WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. home prices rose at a modest pace in November, held back by weaker sales and a limited number of houses for sale.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Average long-term U.S. mortgage rates rose slightly this week after four straight weeks of declines, while remaining near historically low levels.

I've bought a couple of cases for my ipad and iphone at overstock and this is by far the best in quality and value.
item is marked as being for an ipad mini but it is really for a regular sized ipad. buyer beware.
This case fits well and is a very good buy. The polyurethane does not smell at all like some such products. It has a very slim fit for easily fitting into a handbag but still protects. I like that there is no magnet as I have to avoid them (pacemaker). I'll be returning it but only because I found a real leather one I like better that zips up.
An average case with an inexpensive material. I am concerned that the case may leave marks on the edge of the IPAD because of its plastic hinges.

BHS boys close gap with De Soto
With their toes at the line, their hearts racing and their mind determined; the race is about to begin for the Bulldogs.
The Baldwin High School boys' cross country team knows where it needs to be and who it needs to beat; it is just a matter of going out and doing it.
On Saturday the varsity boys got to run in the rain at Wamego and placed second behind De Soto, 114-111.
There was a small delay with finishes and correct placings after the varsity race, because of the confusion at the finish.
On the Wamego course, the boys make a small loop near the finish after running nearly two miles. At the meet, the top runners were finishing while others were still making the loop, but finished instead. The problem was resolved but it took some time.
Senior Chris Elniff was satisfied with his first-place performance (17:10) as well as the team's second place.
"I felt really good today," Elniff said. "I have always loved this course and the hard work in practice paid off. All of the other teams ran hard."
Sophomore Brad Canterbury was proud of how he did, placing 22nd.
"I tried my best and De Soto did awesome," Canterbury said.
Getting second place as a team this early does not seem to bother Elniff. He knows that as the season progresses, so will the Bulldogs and Canterbury agrees.
"We are sitting in a really good spot right now," Elniff said. "If we can get a healthy fifth runner, we are going to be really good."
As for personal goals, Canterbury's is simple.
"I want to run with Chris all year, in practices and races," Canterbury said.
Behind Elniff's first-place finish was senior Caj Kueffer (15th), junior Aaron Karlin (20), Canterbury, senior Paul Minor (62), sophomore Blake Randells (71) and senior Nathan Dick (78).
Coach Mike Spielman was more than happy with his team's performance and excited with how they did.
"I thought we ran really well," Spielman said. "I'm very excited with how they responded and how competitive they were at such a big meet (20 teams)."
The junior varsity team finished sixth overall with senior Michael Thurlow leading the Baldwin pack by finishing 11th. Behind him was freshman Patrick Pinault (36th), sophomore Blake Shields (37), junior Alex Coffey (56), freshman Andy Woods (64), senior Josh Times (74) and freshman Kedar Sandel (94).
Next up for the Bulldogs is a home meet that begins at 9 a.m. Saturday at the Baldwin City Municipal Golf Course.

text: My friend,Crystal and I have started "afterschooling". We're not sure how to tell you why. Actually, we've tried to tell folks, "why" and have been met with a variety of responses – none of them exactly what we had hoped to receive. We're not sure what we hoped to receive but, exasperated eye-rolling, appalled looks and competitive inquiries weren't it. Perhaps we expected looks of awe and admiration. Actually, I'm sure that's what we expected or at least for what we yearned. A bit taken aback, we've stopped telling people and have reconsidered our reasons for afterschooling.

NASA Restarts Plutonium Production 139

if Iran will impose sanctions on the United States...
.... make up your mind?
You used to produce Plutonium and you saw it was good. But then man got greedy and raced upward to the skies and eat from the forbidden fruit. And complicated-gdp-involving-economy-formula was not happy and it convinced you that it was bad. And Plutonium was no more, Savannah Rivers dropped the Rivers and became a p0rn5tar and the fallen from grace NASA purchased plutonium from Russia. Now there is what looks like good news, the saviour will be born, the native plutonium-producer child of NASA. A step forward for the space program to achieve the energy density for long space exploration. After a jump backward, sort of.
I wish we just got rid of the jumps backward.
Nonsense. NASA wouldn't want to go backwards now, not when they're on the verge of building their very own rocket that can take men into space!
is Plutonium still considered an atom?
Maybe if NASA is really good Santa will bring them some plutonium.
Good? They cut down Pluto until it was a dwarf, and now are making this 'plutonium' which I can only assume is made from Pluto's corpse...
They'll be getting coal, indeed. Or something to power an RTG. One of the two.
Because they demoted Pluto, NASA only gets dwarfium now.

An exhibition of posters and models focusing on swine flu virus – its origin, transmission and symptoms of the disease was conducted here on Wednesday.
As part of an awareness programme, the Department of Microbiology, Dr. L. Bullayya PG College highlighted the causative factors of swine flu here. Homeopathy medicines were distributed at a medical camp later.
Prof. P. Rajeswara Rao, Head of Department of Orgenon and Homeopathy, Dr. A.R. Government Homeo Medical College, Rajahmundry, explained about the origin of homeopathy and how the studies of Dr. Hannehman, the father of homeopathy, talked about the importance of the prevention through various drugs.
Dr. R. Venkata Rao, district coordinator, Homeo—Dispensary, spoke about the steps taken by the government and other homeo organisations in distribution of medicines for the control of swine flu.
Dr. T. Lalitha Govardhan, Head of Microbiology, Dr. L. Bullayya PG College, said swine flu was a highly contagious respiratory disorder, characterised by fever, sneezing, cough and sometimes vomiting and gastroenteritis.
'Drink water'
Most of the swine flu victims treated in the district were air travellers and those who reached here from the places within a week after confirmed cases of swine flu were reported, were also treated as suspect cases, District Medical and Health Officer J. Sarojini said at a seminar on swine flu organised by GITAM University here on Wednesday.
Seven of the passengers who tested swine flu positive were treated and all of them recovered, Dr. Sarojini said.
The first case was reported on July 21 from among the list of passengers received from Hyderabad after the passenger travelled from abroad along with a confirmed case of swine flu. The DMHO explained the treatment aspects and protection measures. Nine swine flu screening centres had been set up to detect and treat the cases. She advised pregnant women and children to take plenty of water and nutritious food to avoid viral diseases.
Principal of AU College of Pharmaceutical Sciences T. Satyanarayana said that herbal remedies could stimulate the immune system to combat the effects of the flu while relieving symptoms and speeding up the recovery.
Supplement of N-Acetyl Cysteine would help battle the flu. Treatment with herbal remedies might become a necessity if swine flu emerged into a pandemic. Prof. Satyanarayana suggested that daily intake of amla, tulsi, garlic and turmeric powder would enhance immunity system.
GITAM varsity Registrar P.M. Valli presided. GITAM Pharmacy College principal P. Suresh also spoke.

These drives typically are used for the OS and whatever apps you want the fastest performance. Fast boot times, quick load times, quick action-times within the application, etc.
But even with 500GB, some people have so many apps and games that 500 is pushing it... so they have to decide which application do they want fast performance and which can they just throw on their large HDD drive.
Some people I know don't want one because they can't fit their 3TB movie collection on them. That's not what they're really for at the moment since the sizes aren't that high. And besides, the average person doesn't really need the performance of a SSD just to watch a movie. To edit/scratch/whatever perhaps, but not to watch movies or listen to mp3s. A slower HDD is fine for that.
Firmware Updates?
My Crucial SSD went poof, but it turned out Crucial said it could be reset (with my Windows PC only).
I hadn't kept the Firmware updated (& didn't know I needed to do so and was not warned about that). Then I read Crucial's note on how to update the firmware.
I simply couldn't understand all the crap I would have to go through. Either there is a one click firmware update or it is a royal pain to update and I won't buy.
The universe seems neither benign nor hostile, merely indifferent. -- Sagan

Black Friday Fun with Shawn & Sue [VIDEO]
Thanks to everyone who came out to the Ocean County Mall for Black Friday shopping with Shawn & Sue .... An annual Holiday Tradition
Thanks to everyone who came out to the Ocean County Mall for Black Friday shopping with Shawn & Sue .... An annual Holiday Tradition
With Black Friday sale flyers already in people's mailboxes, and eager shoppers starting to plan their strategies, the day itself can seem more like a horror movie these days. And that's exactly what the folks over at comedy site "Nacho Punch" put together - Black Friday: The Horror Movie. Check it out. What truth is said in jest, right?
I think that ferrets are some of the most underrated pets. They're awesome. They're fun, funny, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining. I had a ferret for about 5 years before I got my dog, and it was great. They are a lot of work, and they can get in a lot of trouble, but being a ferret owner is never lacking in funny moments. Kind of like this little critter determined to make it from a table to a windowsill. Based on the title of this article, you can guess how it ends. Watch:
There are few more beloved characters in history than Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Sally, Linus, and The Peanuts gang. TV specials like "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" are classics, so it's about time that they come to the big screen! We'll have to wait a year, Christmas, 2015, but you can get a sneak peek now. Check out the trailer and let us know what you think!

- Dimensions variable, 2 color video projections, 5.1 channel surround sound.Concept, Video & Installation Design: Polina Zioga.
Curated by: Zoe Fragoulopoulou.
Sound Design: Sofia Koubli.
Narration: Vasilis Asimakopoulos, Georgia Balabini, Anastasia Katsinavaki, Dimos Mamaloudis,
Polina Zioga.© 2011 Polina Zioga"The Shelter" video installation is inspired by Heraclitus' (540 BC-480BC) fragment 67a. It was presented within the solo exhibition:
"Polina Zioga - The Shelter", Fournos Center for Digital Culture, 18-26 June 2012, Athens, Greece."Just as a spider, standing in the middle of its web,
notices as soon as a fly breaks one of its thread
and then quickly runs to the spot,
as though grieving over the cutting of the thread,
so a human's soul,
when a part of the body is hurt, moves swiftly there,
as if disturbed by the wound of the body,
to which is tightly and proportionately linked."An internal environment is being created with two video projections. The vertical shows a web of pulsating human vessels, created by scanned, edited and animated prints of brain-angiographies. This web frames, feeds and protects a central core, a cocoon with a human figure inside, an allegory for the human soul. At the same time more elements have been inserted, such as artificial moths in movement, which mislead us regarding its biological or physical dimension/aspect.
The vertical video projection continues to the contiguous floor, as the natural/artificial landscape is reflected through the element of water, which creates a dreamy sense of movement.
For the sound an ambient electronic score has been created. Recorded voices whisper Heraclitus' verses, while the final audio is produced in surround mode, in order to create a sense of hearing the sounds and the voices coming out from all the corners of the space."Everything is the body and this body belongs to everybody, as a common ground. The artist makes a careful incision into her body and while the movements which are conduced around us are leisurely, poetic, she invites us to enter into her personal room/shelter, she reveals its inside and she "donates" to us her organs. A new environment has been born from her innards. Seductive voices are surrounding us, from every corner of the room, pronouncing verses coming from a primeval and universal past. The installation functions as a rituals' scenery for our induction into the sanctuary of the human body, where through the self-knowledge and the meticulous input, aspires the preservation of its autonomy but also its union with the nature, the final output."\On the occasion of the exhibition, the bilingual publication "The Shelter", in Greek and in English, was released by Pavlidis Creative publications.

Great week
We had a fantastic week. 4 couples easily shared the home. The pool is nice. Location is excellent with an easy walk to many fun destinations. We didn't kill each other which was a bonus : ). We definitely want to come back!
Beautiful House
Villa Sofia was a beautiful house and had enough room for the entire family. The staff was incredible and attentive and we had a chef cook us dinner each night (which for a large party was ideal). They had an enormous dining area that could accommodate everyone. The decor in the first bedroom is odd (decorated by a graffiti artist) but the rest of the decor is stunning. We all wished the house had an ocean view, but it was only visible from the very top floor of the house. We loved the upstairs game/tv room for watching Football Bowl games and loved the giant hot tub. Overall a great trip!
Fun Vacation at a Great Location
This Villa was in an exellent location and the accomodations were fantastic. We rented the entire compound which consist of the main villa along with a guest villa. The property along with the Villas were very clean and the furnishings were very, very nice. The owner Stuart was very accomodating and an all around good guy. The pool and swim up wet bar was our main focus every day and night. The pool and surrounding yard with it's tall palm trees and various types of plant life really gives you that tropical island feeling. The beach is only about 100 feet from the back yard. I have told numerous friends and relatives about it and we also are looking foward to returning on our next vacation. If you visit Old San Juan be sure to have lunch or dinner at Raisins and order the large pork chop, you will not believe how good it is.

"Fairly good. Worth the credit."
First of all James Marsters is, as always, excellent. Let me get that out of the way now before I start in on this one. I have never been disappointed by his readings, and this book is no exception.
Now then. Was this a great book? No, it was not. It was entertaining, assuredly. The world is pretty well thought out, though it felt like the steampunk theme had been shoe-horned in on a story that would have been fine without it, and didn't really gain anything by its inclusion. Does the Greyfriar wear a mask? Yes. Also, he wears goggles. Because you see, it's a steampunk book.
Don't get me wrong, Im fine with the genre, I just didn't feel like this particular story had any reason to -be- steampunk. There isn't enough history to explain why there is steampunk, but I guess that isn't really important.
The story is standard adventure fare, with a vampire twist. The 'shocking secret' is neither shocking nor a secret, but i'm not sure it was meant to be. Somehow I doubt it.
I don't know that I will read or listen to the sequel. It was entertaining, but there are a lot better books to be had. However, if you are a big fan of vampires, alternate history, steampunk, or oldschool adventure books, you will probably like The Greyfriar. If nothing else, the portrayal of vampire culture and mindset was certainly interesting.
"Average, but entertaining."
While I believe that David Drake read the Aubrey-Maturin books by Patrick O'brian, I'm not sure he understood what about character interaction between Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin made the books so great.
It's clear that he has aped the style, as was his intention, and as long as you aren't expecting Aubrey-in-space, then this series is perfectly fine. It's entertaining, written well enough that I'm not cringing throughout, and I enjoyed it.
I wish he hadn't mentioned anything about O'Brian's series, because it's difficult not to contrast the two now, but the RCN books stand on their own well enough.
Unlike everyone else who has listened to this series I didn't have a problem with the narrator.
If you are looking for a better-than-average series (unlike this very average one) in a similar vein, the Honor Harrington series by David Weber is far superior, and can also be found here on Audible. Alternatively, if you haven't yet, you should certainly listen to the Aubrey-Maturin books, which can also be found on Audible.
"Great, if visceral book, terrible narrator."
This book is just as disturbing as you think it is. It's also a good story, and the beginning of what could be a good series.
... If you can stomach having it read to you by someone who sounds like Robert Stack of "Unsolved Mysteries." The narrator would be perfect for a hard-boiled detective book, or some kind of adventure/war story, but his choppy, monotone narration grates the whole way through this book, along with his strange EMPHASIS of CERTAIN WORDS for no apparent REASON. This book needed a quiet, expressive voice to read it, somebody who could have pulled off a more "believable" serial killer.
Still, the book was worth it for the story, if nothing else.

This painting was done from an amazing photo I found in the August 2008 issue of Field & Stream Magazine by Pat Clayton.
Check out paintings, drawings, photos and more from Sara Alexander Munoz. Posters, prints and greeting cards are available. Growing up in the serene "forever wild" Catskill Mountains of New York was a great inspiration to me. I draw a lot from my time growing up surrounded by God's majestic natural creations, big and small. Currently I live in Neversink, NY with my husband and work at Frost Valley YMCA in Claryville, NY as their Graphic Designer. I continue to paint and draw in my free time. In my artwork I depict things from my life, feelings; the harmony and peace I feel in nature; the whimsical moments life throws my way. I invite the viewer to come inside and be a part of my work, to feel the emotion, beauty and flow. I hope you...

Can you fill your heating oil tank yourself?
I live in Massachusetts and the heating oil tank in an investment property I own has just run out of oil. The house is vacant and I am concerned about pipes freezing.
I have tried to get an oil company to come out and fill the tank but they all say at least 3 days notice to come out!
I was wondering could I just buy a tank of oil at a gas station and fill the tank myself? I know it wouldn't last long but it would at least buy me a week or so to get a full oil delivery.
I don't see why not, but up in Mass., who knows? You house could use plus/minus one gallon per hour of use. Another problem is that when the tank runs empty, the filter gets all sludged up and needs replacement. Then you have to bleed the line to the burner and hopefully, it will light on the first shot.
Do you see why you should never let the oil tank run empty?

Lady Raiders repeat as district champs
Rider not only closed out its regular-season with a nice win Friday — beating Wichita Falls High School 10-1 — but the Lady Raiders got some help from afar to claim the District 5-4A championship.
Denton Guyer defeated Brewer 5-2 to help Rider get the top seed from 5-4A in the playoff bracket.
The Lady Raiders (26-4-1, 11-3) finished tied with Byron Nelson, but they owned a sweep of the Lady Bobcats. Rider had been swept by Brewer, which entered the night in a three-way tie but finished in a tie with Guyer for third.
The Lady Raiders will face either Boswell or Chisholm Trail next weekend.
"We knew it was not going to be easy (to win district)," Rider coach Alisha Crouch said. "We made a road map of how we needed to get through district. We took care of business against Lake Dallas and Guyer and the others dropped a game to them.
"I don't know how many one-run games we had, but even if you come out on the losing end, you can do nothing but learn from that. These girls deserve the district title."
Rider scored five runs in the second inning at Sunrise Optimist Field and Ashley Sissell (14-3) tossed a three-hitter.
Abby Donnell hit her first home run of the season, an inside-the-park homer to right field, driving in three, as part of that explosive second inning. She had three hits, three runs and three RBIs on the day.
Stacey Fosnaugh drove in two runs, while Katy Hill was 3-for-3 with two runs scored.
Claire Cullar was 1-for-2 with an RBI for WFHS.
Burkburnett clinches 5-3A title
GRAHAM — Burkburnett's Kylee Trahan blanked Graham for the second time in less than two weeks, as the Lady Bulldogs clinched district with a 4-0 victory.
Trahan, who no-hit the Lady Blues the first time around, threw a four-hitter in the 5-3A finale, improving to 12-4-1 on the season.
The Lady Bulldogs (20-5-1, 7-1) scored all four runs off Graham's Macy Nantz in the sixth inning as they bounced back from their only district loss.
Paige Daino and Jaley Matteson both had RBI singles in the sixth. The teams combined for only nine hits.
Graham (18-12-2, 5-3) will face Mineral Wells next week in bi-district, while Burkburnett earns a bye.
Helton, Lady Hawks lock up second place
IOWA PARK Peyton Helton threw a two-hit shutout Friday night, striking out nine as Iowa Park finished District 5-3A with an 8-0 win over Vernon.
Helton helped her cause by doubling in twice and driving in four runs. Clarissa Enos also had two hits and scored once.
Iowa Park (27-4) finishes in second place in District 5-3A and will take on Springtown in bi-district.
Lady Mustangs lose, tied for third
City View lost its district finale to Bowie 17-0 on Friday night, but the Lady Mustangs did receive some good news.
With Henrietta knocking off Jacksboro for its first district win, the Tigerettes and Lady Mustangs tied for third place in 8-2A at 4-6. The teams will play at 6 p.m. Monday in Windthorst to determine the playoff spot.
