HARP is the Homeowner Affordability Refinance Program being offered for those homeowners who do not otherwise qualify to refinance their current home loan.
If your current loan is owned by either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac you may be eligible to refinance your home with HARP funds, take advantage of the new low interest rates, and reduce your monthly payment. We have several lenders offering this program NOW.
How do I find out if I have a Fannie or Freddie mortgage?
Visit the webpages below and complete the short form online.
You will know immediately if Fannie or Freddie owns your loan. Only your first mortgage can be refinanced (if you have a first and second mortgage, the second mortgage remains as is). We can finance up to 105% of the current value of your home. In some cases HARP loans are available up to 125%.
How do I know if I am eligible?
1. You owe more than the house is worth OR you have lost significant equity.
2. You have a fixed mortgage rate higher than current interest rates.
3. You have an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) that has reset or will soon reset.
4. You are current on your mortgage and have not been 30 days late making a payment in the last 12 months.
Can I get cash out to pay other debts?
No. Unfortunately, the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) will not allow cash back to the borrower in excess of $250. The goal of this loan is to reduce your current monthly payments.
What about closing costs and mortgage insurance?
All closing costs can be included the mortgage, so except for a credit report fee and appraisal fee (if required), HARP loans do not require cash at closing. The credit report and appraisal fees typically run $300 or less. This expenditure will be offset by your reduced mortgage payments savings in a matter of a few months.
Typically you would be required to pay mortgage insurance, making the refinance transaction not worth paying the closing costs. Mortgage Insurance is not required for HARP loans.
Here is an example of a HARP refinance that I did for clients Jack and Kate:
Jack and Kate have steady jobs. They pay their bills on time including their monthly mortgage payment. Like many homeowners in Florida, Jack and Kate felt they were unable to refinance to a lower interest rate because the value of their home has declined. They met the following requirements; They own a one-to-four unit home with a $310K balance on their first mortgage and an appraised value of $300K. Their Adjustable Rate Mortgage currently at 6.25% was owned by Fannie Mae and was scheduled to reset in June 2011. They are up-to-date on their mortgage payments and have not been more than 30 days late in the past 12 months.
With my assistance, Jack and Kate were able to secure a 4.50%* 30-year fixed rate loan through the HARP program. Their payment went down by $368 a month, greatly reducing their stress over other bills each month and freeing up funds for other cash needs. Their credit score will not be affected and they now have peace of mind knowing their payment is fixed and they can remain in their home indefinitely. *4.769% APR
Loan to Value Ratio (LTV) can be used to estimate the amount of equity you have in a property. Example: $300,000 (loan balance) divided by $286,000 (market value) = 105% LTV
The HARP program is not just for folks "upside down" on their mortgages. If your LTV is anywhere from 80% to 125%, you may be eligible.

Government workers in Wisconsin -- and 40 other states -- earn higher salaries and receive better benefits than private-sector workers in the same state, according to a new analysis by USA Today.
The findings will likely be used to bolster the positions of Republicans in Wisconsin and other states who are seeking to restrict unionized teachers' collective bargaining rights and require them to pay a larger portion of their benefits.
On average, public workers earned $57,775 annually in salary and benefits -- about $2,511 more than the average private-sector worker, according to the newspaper's study.
The newspaper's analysis also found that public employees' compensation has grown at a faster rate than that of private workers since 2000, largely due to improving benefits.
The study didn't control for specific jobs, education or other factors, prompting some critics to question its methodology.

I dont believe that they are his true sentiments anybody who calls someone a liar & rascist is not worthy of a handshake.
That maybe why Rio did not shake his hand He knows what he is |
Why was there no shaking hands in the chelsea qpr match ?
same issue wee
Ric.Ror perhaps the druggie mistook him for JT
"No handshakes in Chelsea v QPR game."
The officials were told by the FA,to cancel them,in light of the then pending court case,against JT,for rascist abuse against Anton Ferdinand. |
LFC Always the victims never to blame?
Reputation is shot - Shankly/Paisley legacy sullied, maybe beyond repair. Apology is to late. The only people who think differently are LFC. |
stevee get yer head back in the tabloid trough with the rest of the baying mob
I make up my own mind, I think its a pity that you cannot see the repercussions for your club.
I understand blind loyalty, but from the first moment it was down to Suarez and its being continued by LFC - The fact the board has had to step in makes it obvious that neither Suarez or Dalglish are truly contrite. If you think this is just a sky/tabloid storm in a tea cup. Your wrong. I see you appear to think that people cannot think for themselves or form their own opinions from what they see. I suggest (to mix metaphors) you get your head out of the clouds and smell the coffee, and see the damage across the world that has been done to the standing of your great club. Or maybe you will just stand in the corner and stamp your feet. |
Steve, I think if there had been any chance of proving this, it should have been dealt with exactly the same as the Suarez situation. Why it wasn't we don't know and haven't been told.
Steve's right. Evra drops his hand as Suarez approaches
As a United fan, I think all this Suarez business should be put to bed now. Fergie was wrong in my opinion to try and tell Liverpool what to do. I think he'll very much regret saying what he did. We won the match and that is the most important thing for me. I suppose that's easy to say if you're not directly involved.
On a footballing point, I think Liverpool now realize they are inferior to United. You can tell that by the way they approached the last 2 matches with United. They were frightened of losing but got away with it in the cup. |
How Luis Suarez contrived to make Dalglish look like an idiot.
Daily Telegraph: Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish insists that Luis Suárez will follow etiquette and shake Patrice Evra's hand // "People are already speculating on the pre-match ceremony," Dalglish said. "But from Luis's point of view, we have spoken to him and I know he will shake the hand of Patrice Evra and the other Manchester United players before the game." // http://www.telegraph....trice-Evras-hand.html If any player, no matter how good (I'm looking at you Jaap Stam) had humilated SAF in such a way, he would be out of the club as fast as you could say failed drug test. Suarez will be a Man City player next season. |

General Counsel
FAQ: Tenure and Appointments
This document provides a summary of the law in this area and answers questions frequently asked of attorneys in the Office of General Counsel. However, the information presented here is intended for informational purposes only and nothing in this document should be construed or relied upon as legal advice. The Office of General Counsel or your Campus Legal Counsel should be consulted regarding the specific facts and circumstances associated with any legal matter.
Revised 11/24/2010
Pending the final decision of dismissal of a tenured
faculty, may that person be relieved of his or her duties?
A. Ordinarily, the faculty member will not be suspended
from his or her duties. If, however, the chancellor,
after consultation with appropriate faculty committees,
finds that substantial harm might result if the faculty
member were to stay in his or her position, the individual
may be suspended. In such cases, the faculty member's
salary will continue until the Board makes its decision
as to whether dismissal should be granted.
Does my department or committee have to provide notice
of meetings relating to tenure?
A. A tenure candidate must be given actual notice of
any evidentiary hearing that may be held before final
action on the tenure decisions and before any meeting
at which final action may be taken. This notice must
contain a statement that the candidate has the right
to demand that the evidentiary hearing or meeting be
held in open session. If the tenure candidate demands
an open session, then the public notice requirements
of Wisconsin's Open Meetings Law apply.
Section 19.85(1)(b ), Wis. Stats.
If I serve on a committee that recommends a denial of
tenure or a nonrenewal of an appointment, can I be sued?
A. In some instances, service on a committee recommending
the nonrenewal of a faculty member may lead to being
named in a lawsuit. Because such committee service
is one of the duties of faculty employment, however,
the UW System, through the Wisconsin Department of
Justice, will, in virtually all circumstances, be
able to provide you with legal representation and
indemnification. See sections 893.82 and 895.46, Wis.

Go ahead and sue. Some people seem to think they have a right.
It's not a right, it's a public service, and if the authorities deem that gay men are a high risk and they don't want it, it's their prerogative.
Selfish bastards would rather get their penny-worth of gay-rights equality and risk infecting innocent people with terminal diseases. Until gay men can learn to be safe, and God forbid, keep their dicks in their pants a bit more, then they will have to put up with a little social exclusion.
"Until gay men can learn to be safe, and God forbid, keep their dicks in their pants a bit more" – oh yeah, cause straight men and women are all 'good' people who only have sex once in their life. U fukcin idiot, uve obviously not been out on a saturday night recently, or been onto a straight sex website. The authorities used to 'deem' that gay men couldn't even exist, so i suppose by your reckonin, we should have just let them tell us we shouldn't exist cause the authorities 'deemed' it? And we wonder why we still dont have equality and freedom? its cause spanners like u make and think comments like that.
Dave: The average straight man has 15 sexual partners in a lifetime. I know gay men that have more than that in a month.
Stop acting in denial, men are naturally promiscuous, that's their job. it's just women that prevent the straight ones from doing it all the more.
All this bollocks about swingers parties and dogging pale into mere insignificance when compared to gay men. Check out Gaydar as an example; and please don't say they aren't typical, 85% of gay men in the UK have a Gaydar profile…
JohnD: I suggest it is YOU who watches his mouth before issuing threats and accusations. I don't know you from Adam.
Please, give me a comeback, some sort of logical argument or something I can reply to. The statement "Laws are designed to be applicable to the majority of people" is often used by those trying to justify their point of view that they have no reasonable argument about.
I know some of us will refuse to listen for the only reason is that they think something is discrimination and they think that makes it immediately wrong but I am at uni, training to be a doctor, I think logically and I want to save people from diseases, I would not give blood if I thought it had a chance of harming someone.
Now I am not asking doctors to put their patients at risk, I am asking that they spent a little more on paper to make a longer form to get a better idea of whether the person donating is actually entering into risky behaviour or not. Not only this but what about questions about the risky behaviour of straight people, straight people can engage in a life of one night stands and/or even the same type of sex as homosexuals. Now the laws are there but there is nothing to stop people lieing, wouldn't people be less likely to lie if they were treated with some more respect and not treated as if they were disease ridden?
Blondie: A classic example of a law is the age of consent: You may have some very mature 14yo's that would be quite responsible having sex, but equally, you may have 20yo's that act very immaturely. Both of those cases though are not the norm, and a law has to cater for the greatest number of people. I'm not using it as any kind of argument, it's a simple fact of life. No law can be all-encompassing. As a medical trainee, you would know that drugs do not work on everyone, so they are targeted where they will do the most good. This is much the same principle.
By your standards, it would end up like a magistrates court asking people about their sexual proclivities. "How many partners did you have in the last year, and did you perform anal sex?"
Do you REALLY want that? Not to mention, we neither have the time, the resources or the money to interview people, and they could just as easily lie then too.
Additionally to this, it is thought that up to 50% of HIV+ gay men are unaware of their status, so this ruling, harsh though it may seem, is a practical way of eliminating those in a stroke.
My example regarding this would be, would you practice unprotected sex with a stranger just because he says he doesn't sleep around?
No. So why should you expect doctors be any different?
I know that people dont stop at one drug, they create many, so that a drug will be avaliable in all instances, some made very specifically because even though they wouldn't be used alot, drugs have less side effects with more specificity. I think this metaphor has now turned towards my argument.
Now you make a very good point that if we start taking this too far, doctors are going to have to waste resources trying to dive into people's personal lifes but how about the people who started long commited relationships which they were tested for HIV at the start or how about two people who were virgins when they started their relationship. It seems right not recording an accurate description of people's sex lifes but it also seems right to ask a few more specific question so we don't just rule out all gay people.
Well I wouldn't have any sex with a stranger but I suppose that point aside, if I were to have sex with a stranger, yes I would wear protection, no matter the gender. But this is because I don't trust them but the doctors already expect a degree of trust of the people giving blood not lieing to begin with, if they expect someone not to lie with one set of question, they will expect someone to not lie with another set of questions.
Blondie: I used a basic drugs metaphor as that is your line of work. However, you are trying to expand it by saying we should have lots of laws to cover every eventuality. That is very bad governance, and is open to all kinds of loopholes and manipulation. One law for everyone. If you are one of the small percentage to which it doesn't apply, sorry, but tough. Sh!t happens.
"Doctors already expect a degree of trust of the people giving blood not lieing to begin with."
That is complete bull. Many gay men on here have admitted to lying so they could give blood. You are saying you wouldn't trust them, but you expect the doctors to? If that isn't hypocritical, I don't know what is. By your same yardstick then, you would be willing to have a blood transfusion from any gay man that claims he is HIV- ? No, I thought not.
I expanded on the metaphor by the fact they try to make as many drugs as possible but I don't know much on laws but just saying tough is poor, should we tell black people that and enslave them again? If laws become a problem then change them but if they don't then I see no reason why we can't allow them.
It's bull? I have been on the official website when I applied to give blood while I still legally can and they said themself that they expect a degree of trust from the donator. If I am going to have sex with a stranger, one thing I can gather from this situation is that, that person is not in a commited relationship, not to mention it would kill the mood trying to ask questions.
Depends, their are false positives to take into account and so I would be cautious as the doctors should be, if he also says he doesn't participate in risky behaviour (depending on his definition of risky behaviour) then yes I would. I would also not have blood off a straight person who says they participate in risky behaviour.
Blonie: I'm afraid your lack of experience in the relationship field only demonstrates your complete naivety when dealing with people in general, and gay men in particular. Treat everyone as guilty until proven innocent. Taking people's word for something is simply not enough. It may sound a cynical perspective, but it's one that keeps you alive.
You can call me naive but you do need a degree of trust to accept blood of someone, you can hardly expect them to undergo experiments to ensure they are straight and then God knows what other type of experiments so that you know their life is a safe one. And the doctors know this and that is why they do expect some trust from the donators, I am just wishing they extend that trust to a slightly wider range of people which would show more respect and would probably lead to more honesty from the donator.

On the ORLS site they have a free info packet you can request; I assume that would have the prices.
Seton is conservative, not traditional, and I've heard it's getting more liberal the last few years.
Really? Who's looking for me? Please PM me and let me know.
I have heard good things about OLVS, and it is traditional. I am so happy for you!
We use OLVS and it is without a doubt the best I've found!
What books do they use? Do they use their own publications or reprints?
They use reprinted books:
Little Angel Readers
National Catholic Readers
Saxon Math is available ; but not included in their lesson plans
Living in God World - Science
Baltimore Catechism
They use The Rosary Booklet; The Way of the Cross, also CD or cassettes of Songs for God and Country and 24 Catholic Songs
It's very easy to follow the lesson plans for newbies.
Cursive writing is introduced in kindergarten.
They use the Children's Catholic Picture Bible...and each lesson is based upon Catholicism and not secularism Even the coloring books include: Angels, Mother of God, etc.
You can view their book lists at www.olvs.com
Let me know if you need any additional information.
I used OLVS as well when I homeschooled my daughter, and I must say that Catholic National Reader was about the worst book they had. It was (for me) without a doubt the most extremely difficult book to teach AND learn. I read a lot of books for recreation, and even I had a hard time understanding CNR. *Shudder* It will be a cold day in Hades before I ever even look at that book again.
thank you for the correction of the link org. and not com.
One option for books is www.allcatholicbooks.com (i think .com) they have lower rates and their shipping is lower...the shipping time, however, is somewhat longer.
I have not used that particular source but one of my very good friends has...her only wish was that she had ordered earlier.
Just a note; I used OLRS several years ago and was very disappointed in the quality of their materials....most seemed xeroxed at best; plus it was quite expensive!
OLVS is very reasonable.....around $500.00 for all books and tuition for kindergarten.
My daughter's #2 child will be starting kindergarten this year and the expense will be much less; as we have the teacher's manuals, etc.
Maybe prayers to St. Thomas Aquinas will help you make your final decision?

Tuesday, 6:45am PST. Now there's a time I never thought I'd see. Heck, I'm not sure I realised that time in the morning existed. Tuesday was the day when the camp really began, everyone was settled into the hotel, done travelling etc.
After a rather filling buffet breakfast we got on a coach, and headed down the road to the Microsoft campus in Redmond for an introductory presentation, where we met some of the folk behind SQL Server, and heard about the origins, history, and possible future directions for SQL Server (and SQL Azure). For the less technical among you, SQL Server is Microsoft's database solution for small businesses, enterprise, and everything in between. SQL Azure is a related product, but hosted in the cloud.

Things to Do in Doral
Recommended Things to Do by Groupon Customers
Sean P. Kicker's long career on the links has included 20 years as a Class-A PGA member and six professional tournament victories. His golf virtuosity began to flourish at an early age—as a kid he was named Youth of the Year by the Boys & Girls Club of Palm Beach County—and today he gives lessons that grant amateurs the benefit of his hard-earned course savvy. As students play rounds with Sean, he punctuates play with detailed advice on how to straighten errant swings, avoid bunkers, and stare down the ground squirrels that frequently steal golf balls.
Sean's instructional expertise also encompasses off-the-links education that uses computerized video equipment for swing analytics and a full-swing golf simulator. After a few half-hour sessions with the seasoned pro, students often feel an increased level of confidence and renewed gusto for their game. Currently, Sean is in the process of attaining PGA Master Professional status, a title bestowed only upon elite players.
Captain Wayne Conn draws on expertise garnered through tournament fishing and a native's knowledge of South Florida's waters when taking groups out for deep-sea charter fishing. Captains Chris Neiderman, Ryan Omsted, and Chris Temmel round out The Reward Fleet crew, which together boasts more than a century of experience.
Up to 50 passengers can climb aboard The Another Reward, a 70-foot angling boat equipped with electronics to locate fish, a galley, and a salon with eight dinettes inside. Three times a day, she sets sail on public charter-fishing trips so guests can scan ocean waves for fish such as tuna, kingfish, bonito, sailfish, snapper, and grouper. During these trips, guests will be provided with all the necessary equipment and bait. The crew also specializes in corporate charters, bachelor parties, and long-range trips.
The green-blue Floridian waters and deserted cays seem to call to Tropical Sailing's experienced crews in a sort of inescapable siren song, beckoning the sailors back to the Atlantic day after day. Tropical Sailing's team of seasoned mariners—composed of licensed Coast Guard-certified Master Captains as well as first mates certified in first aid and rescue—share their love of the sea with visitors via scenic cruises off the coasts of Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Crews pilot a meticulously maintained fleet of catamarans along aquatic paths, including the 78-foot Caribbean Spirit whose shaded lounge area shelters skin from intrusive sun rays and offers seating to passengers who haven't yet mastered walking in their mermaid costumes. Tropical Sailing's daily roster of adventures ranges from picturesque Full Moon Party Cruises in Fort Lauderdale to high-energy Ski and Splash Water Sports Adventures in Miami.
Manned by a U.S. Coast Guard–certified crew, a Thriller SuperCat 55 power catamaran safely whisks patrons away on Thriller Miami Speedboat Adventures' 45-minute voyages that trek all the way into the Atlantic Ocean. After shipping out from Bayside Marketplace, captains navigate the vessel through Biscayne Bay, South Beach, and the Miami Gold Coast, granting guests sweeping views of Fisher Island, Miami Beach, South Beach's Art Deco district, and the towering Miami skyline. Conversant guides narrate each excursion, pinpointing sites of historical interest as they pass by and helping visitors identify multimillion-dollar dwellings owned by celebrities such as Shaquille O'Neal, Gloria Estefan, and Count Chocula.
Wanting to share their love of water activities with as many people as possible, the staff at Miami Kiteboarding teach classes in English, Italian, Spanish, French, and Russian. This dedication is also revealed by the depth and diversity of programs offered, which include International Kiteboarding Organization (IKO) certification courses, boat-assisted lessons, and kids' clinics. Through years of practice and very scientific study, the staff have developed an effective method for getting beginners up on the water in about six hours of instruction. Located in scenic Crandon Park on Key Biscayne island, Miami Kiteboarding offers paddleboard rentals, which helps patrons hone balance, coordination, strength, and stamina. Customers looking for family-friendly activities can also opt to rent kayaks, paddling leisurely through the shallow lagoon located nearby. The shop, equipped with everything one needs to fly a kite while gliding on water, can outfit novices with wetsuits, water shoes, and harnesses.

Grandma's Sampler Quilt
Here are step-by-step instructions for Grandma's Sampler quilt blocks. Instructions provided courtesy of guest Nancy Raschka-Reeves.
Print Options
CloseE-mail This Page to Your Friends
A link to %this page% was e-mailed
Fabric selection
Begin by selecting three or four fabric color families. For example you may choose rose, blue and brown for the basic color families. Once colors are chosen, pick out several prints of each color, selecting variations of the value to keep the quilt interesting. Value in the rose color family would include a range of prints from medium pink to a deeper rose. Also choose prints that vary in scale — some busy prints and others that are more plain. To achieve the antique quilt look, first look for reproduction prints available in quilt shops. Finding a few of these will help get the color families started. However, there's no need to limit to using only reproduction prints. Many other prints can be used as well. As you add to the quilt's color collection, include some prints that aren't a perfect color match. This will add interest to the blocks and help lend an antique look.
Materials and Tools:
two fabric prints plus a background fabric for Underground Railroad block
four fabrics for Courthouse steps block
four assorted 5-1/4" print squares for the border blocks
five assorted 4-1/2" print squares (different prints)
1-1/2" half-square triangle paper
Miniature Underground Railroad block
1. Cut:
2-3/4" x 5-1/4" background rectangle
2-3/4" x 5-1/4" rectangle of one of the prints
1-1/4" x 13" background strip
1-1/4" x 13" strip of the second print
a section of 1-1/2-inch triangle paper to 1 square x 2 squares
2. To make the triangle units, put the 2-3/4" x 5-1/4" background and print rectangles right sides together. Place the 1 square x 2 square piece of triangle paper on top and pin through all layers. Stitch on the dotted lines of the triangle paper. Cut apart on the solid lines. Remove the paper and press the seam allowance toward the print. This will yield four matching half-square triangle units. They should measure two inches including seam allowances.
3. To make the four patch units, sew the 1-1/4" x 13" strips of background and the second print together with a scant 1/4-inch seam allowance. Press the seam allowance toward the print. Measure the set after sewing — the two strips sewn together should measure two inches including seam allowances. Take the time to check this measurement.
4. Cross-cut the set at 1-1/4-inch intervals to yield 10 cuts. Use these pieces to make five, four-patch units measuring two inches including seam allowances.
5. Use the half-square triangle units and the four-patches to assemble an Underground Railroad block. Experiment with the placement of value in the block. Changing the values of the two prints can make the block appear quite different.
Tip: You can use these same units to create many other traditional block patterns.
Courthouse Steps block
1. Select four fabrics to use for the Courthouse Steps block — one for each side of the block. Cut a 1-1/4" x 40" strip of each.
2. Decide on the position for each print in the block. Two prints will be used for the vertical "logs" on two sides of the block and two prints will be used for the horizontal logs at the top and bottom of the block. Begin with the two prints that will be used for the vertical logs, and cut each of the 1-1/4-inch strips up into five-inch, 7-1/2-inch and 10-inch lengths. Cut the horizontal log print 1-1/4-inch wide strips into 7-1/2-inch, 10-inch and 12-1/2-inch lengths.
3. Use the Underground Railroad block as the center of the Courthouse Steps block. Add the log strips to the Underground Railroad block, taking care to use a scant, 1/4-inch seam allowance. Begin by adding a five-inch vertical log to one side of the block. Next, add a five-inch vertical log (in a different print) to the opposite side of the block. Press the seam allowances away from the center. After adding these two strips, measure the block. It should measure 7-1/2 inches from side to side including seam allowances. Next, using the 7-1/2-inch strips from the horizontal log groups, add a log of one print to the top of the block and a log of a different print to the bottom of the block. The block should now measure 7-1/2 inches square. Next, go back to the first two prints that you used in the block and add the 7-1/2-inch vertical logs to the two sides of the block, matching the prints that were used in the first round. Continue assembling the block, adding the 10-inch horizontal logs to the top and bottom of the block, the 10-inch vertical logs to the sides of the block and finally the 12-1/2-inch horizontal logs to the top and bottom of the block. The finished block should measure 12-1/2 inches.
Note: Plan the second block in the row so that you will be using the same print on the side of the block that will touch the first block.
Border blocks
1. Cut four assorted 5-1/4-inch print squares. Cut five assorted 4-1/2-inch print squares (different prints).
2. Select two of the 5-1/4-inch squares and place them right sides together. Draw a diagonal line on the wrong side of one of them. Stitch a scant 1/4 inch on each side of the diagonal line. Cut on the diagonal line and press the seam allowance either direction. The resulting half-square triangle unit should measure 4-7/8 inches. Repeat with the other two 5-1/4-inch squares for a total of four half-square triangle units.
3. Place each half square triangle unit right sides together with another half square triangle unit so that the seam allowances wedge. Draw a diagonal line on the wrong side one unit in each pair. Sew a scant 1/4 inch on each side of the diagonal line. Cut on the diagonal line and press the seam allowance either direction. The completed quarter-square triangle unit should measure 4-1/2 inches. Note that all four triangles in each unit should be a different print.
4. Make an assortment of these units for a scrappy look in the border.
5. Lay out border blocks, alternating the quarter-square triangle units with the 4-1/2-inch squares that you cut above. The blocks for the border should measure 12-1/2 inches.
6. The border units are planned to be the same size as the blocks in the quilt so that the border units can be added to the ends of the rows before the rows are joined together. This eliminates the problem of a pieced border that is either too long or too short to fit the quilt.

All fans of slots have a wonderful chance to enjoy free slots nowadays! It's a pretty simple game, but it provides tons of fun and excitement. In land-based gambling establishments, slots account for seventy percent of all casino income and occupy about the same percentage of floor space. Of course, you cannot play slots for free in real casinos, but online you can play free slots all you want. Thanks to modern internet technology and gaming applications options, everyone can play anytime and almost anywhere – all that is needed is connection to the internet and a device that supports it.
Today there is a huge number of slots sites with all kinds of games, playing and payment options. Generally, every more or less respectable casino will offer slots either for fun or as real, cash games. Most of the free slots games will come in flash mode – all you have to do just click and go ahead and play. That's the beauty of flash gaming options. Some casinos require every user to be registered before he or she can access the free games or other features of the site. The reasons for that can be different – some casinos want you to prove that you are of legal age to gamble (even if you are not going to play for money), some just want your email address to send out some advertising and special offers to you (usually, you are able to cancel the emails once they start to come), but if you are not required to provide too much of personal information you can go ahead and create some sort of account. Signed up members, also can enjoy additional bonuses, features, and even sometimes free downloads, so overall it is a pretty swell idea to register.
Speaking of downloads, if you have a tablet or smartphone, or whatever is in between, you are able to play some slot games on your favorite device – download free slots and you can take them with you and play while you are on the go. Many casino sites offer such free software to download, again for registered users, or you can check out the official web page of your phone maker. Many of the manufacturers offer various application and games for free and most popular casino games should be in the list of the free stuff. So visit the application page and browse the offers – the easiest way to get slots games on your phone.
Online you can find slots with all kinds of themes and characters. For example, there are batman themed slots, with the main characters of the movie circling on the reels. You can also find a classic slot machine game with original symbols – diamonds, spades, hearts, horseshoes, and a bell. Anyways, internet allows to enjoy any version and variation of this game and you don't have to pay a penny for it. Find a great casino site, register, and play away.

FAVORITE THINGS TO GROW:Blueberries, artichokes, and lettuce
URBAN FARMING LOCATION:Del Rey Neighborhood of Los Angeles
GARDENING ADVICE:Soil is alive and compost is your friend.
YOUR OWN GARDENING TIPS AND TRICKS:In order to grow something, you must first plant a seed.
WHY DID YOU FIRST START GROWING YOUR OWN ORGANIC FOOD?I started growing food because I wanted a tangible way of living more sustainably.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING TO GROW?Any food crop. Nothing more satisfying than getting to eat (or drink) something you've grown.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING TO COOK OUT OF THE GARDEN?Broccoli, my favorite vegetable. I love the simplicity of steaming some broccoli that is fresh from the garden.
WHO TAUGHT YOU HOW TO GARDEN (OR HOW DID YOU LEARN)?I learn something new almost every day, mostly from reading and talking with fellow gardeners. My Mom taught me the gardening fundamentals, and also taught me the love of gardening (and learning).
WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR BEGINNER GARDENERS?I don't have advice so much as I have encouragement: JUST GO FOR IT. Even if you don't think you have room, you can always start with one container and one tomato plant.
HOW MANY HOURS PER WEEK DO YOU SPEND IN THE GARDEN?Totally depends on the week, but I try to spend time in the garden every day.
DO YOU RAISED BEDS, CONTAINERS, THE GROUND OR A COMBINATION OF WHAT?I have stuff growing in a combination of containers, raised beds, and in the ground.
WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE IN THE GARDEN?Not having enough space or direct sunlight. Also, birds LOVE to steal my berries.
WHAT ARE YOU GROWING RIGHT NOW?Raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, kiwi berries, strawberries, goji berries, passion fruit, pomegranate, figs, lime, lemon, grapefruit, orange, tangerine, guava, grapes, avocado, lettuce, summer squash, borage, sunflowers, artichoke, carrots, cilantro, rosemary, oregano, chocolate mint, and spearmint.
HOW HAS GROWING YOUR OWN ORGANIC FOOD AFFECTED OR CHANGED YOUR LIFE?Growing food has given me a new understanding of what it means to be successful.
WHY DO YOU THINK IT´S IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE GROW THEIR OWN FOOD?Growing food is one of those activities that helps us see behind the curtain, and gives us an appreciation of the natural world. It brings you to the core of what it means to be human. Agriculture after all is one of the forces behind our evolution as a species.
WHAT IS YOUR MOST FAVORITE THING ABOUT GARDENING?It sounds cliche, but at a fundamental level, my favorite part of gardening is feeling connected the natural world. That and getting to eat delicious garden-fresh food.

Tired of giving your family and friends neckties, candles, and pairs of gloves every year? Most of us already have overstuffed closets, and really, how much cinnamon aroma can one take? This year, think outside the tie box and give a PETA Present.
Make your friends and family all warm inside by letting them "deliver" comfort to a cold, lonely "outdoor dog" this winter, help save a rabbit from losing his or her fur for a collar, or help get an animal released from a laboratory. Or make personalized gifts—just choose the campaign that you are most passionate about and specify what you would like your donation to be used for.
Your gift recipients will receive an e-card on the date that you choose to let them know that they have helped an animal in need, and if you need to make use of all those tie boxes, you can print out the description of the gift to put under the tree.
It's the season for tidings of comfort and joy—and we can help make it a little bit more comfortable and joyous for animals, too. Thank you!
Written by PETA
My own extended family and circle of friends are a ravening bunch of carnivorous barbarians who would gladly eat their own dogs and cats if they ran out of ground beef one day. But my colleagues have informed me that, thankfully, not all families are like this, and what with Christmas round the corner and all, they've suggested that I write an entry focusing on some of the fun, funny, and occasionally kind of weird gift ideas for animal lovers that we're currently featuring in the PETA Catalog. With that in mind, here's a top 10 for you. Because although there may be fewer animal lovers in the world than we would like, everybody loves a top 10 list. And that includes you. So read and enjoy. And Merry Christmas.
Oh, and for what it's worth, everyone in my family's getting a copy of this PETA book of New Yorker cartoons. That way I can eat my tofurkey in peace on Christmas day while they all laugh pompously and pretend they understand the esoteric jokes.
If you have a general question for PETA and would like a response, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. If you need to report cruelty to an animal, please click here. If you are reporting an animal in imminent danger and know where to find the animal and if the abuse is taking place right now, please call your local police department. If the police are unresponsive, please call PETA immediately at 757-622-7382 and press 2.

Film depicts '70s Australia surf biz roots
Film Updates
Australian premiere of Drift announced for West Australia
Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 11 February, 2013 : - - A red-carpet, star-studded event has been confirmed for the Australian Premiere of the surfing feature film DRIFT on Thursday March 21, 2013. The premiere will take the film back to its roots in WA's rugged and beautiful South West region, with a large outdoor screening for over 1000 people being held in the historic gardens at Caves House in Yallingup.
The Australian premiere of DRIFT will be a proud moment for two of the film's West Australian producers, Tim Duffy and Myles Pollard. Pollard, who also plays a leading character in the film, is excited to premiere the film to the local community.
"We are ecstatic that the Australian premiere of DRIFT is happening in the South West. We have enormous respect for the local community that supported the movie and we're so happy to bring the spotlight back to the region for what promises to be a memorable and historical event," he said.
Walking the red carpet will be the cast of DRIFT, co-directors Morgan O'Neill and Ben Nott, producers Tim Duffy, Myles Pollard and Michele Bennett, local WA crew, local dignitaries and investors, and many extras and business owners from region who were part of the production.
The timing of the premiere will coincide with the 2013 Drug Aware Margaret River Pro surfing tournament with many of the world's best surfers set to attend and attend the VIP reception after the screening.
Mark Lane, CEO of Surfing WA said: "This year the Pro will have all the biggest names globally in men's and women's surfing taking part in the Margaret River event. We're excited to extend an invitation for them to attend the Australian premiere of Drift where they can see our world-class waves captured in the feature film. We're all very excited."
DRIFT was shot over six weeks during winter of 2011 in and around the breathtaking and epic setting of the remote Western Australia coastline in locations from Cape Naturaliste to Cape Leeuwin, including Margaret River, Augusta, Gracetown and Nannup, with over 70 local crew employed for the shoot.
Producer Tim Duffy, a former resident of Gracetown and Yallingup said: "DRIFT will showcase the world-class waves and amazing landscapes of WA's South West to the world, and now the Australian premiere of DRIFT will be set amongst heritage listed gardens with a surf break just over the hill – a perfect launch pad for the movie."
DRIFT is inspired by the true story of Australia's legendary surf communities and the rise of the global surf brands during the 60s and 70s:
Australia. 1970s. The Kelly brothers Andy and Jimmy, both in their twenties, have one great passion: riding big waves. They've honed their surfing skills in the sleepy WA town of Seacliffe near Margaret River, which hosts some of the world's most challenging and dangerous waves. Knowing how to shape the perfect board and encouraged by new friends, the brothers quit their jobs and launch a backyard surf gear business.
They rethink traditional design, craft homemade wetsuits and sell their wares out of the back of their van. But their new found success is threatened when Jimmy gets mixed up with a local biker gang. Set in breathtaking locations and inspired by the true story of Australia's legendary surfwear companies, Drift inspiringly charts the transformation of surfing's laidback lifestyle into a global phenomenon. It's a story told through a personal tale of passion, courage, friendship and fractured loyalties.
The story of the two Kelly Brothers is played by MYLES POLLARD (Wolverine, McLeod's Daughters) and XAVIER SAMUEL (Twlight Eclipse, A Few Best Men), alongside international Australian star SAM WORTHINGTON (Avatar, Clash of the Titans, Terminator Salvation) as a travelling surf photographer and filmmaker. LESLEY-ANN BRANDT (Memphis Beat, CSI: NY) plays his Hawaiian surfer companion.
Joining them are ROBYN MALCOLM (Outrageous Fortune), STEVE BASTONI (Underbelly, Neighbours) and AARON GLENANE (The Black Balloon).
Many of the support cast hail from WA including actors GREG MCNEILL (The Circuit, September), SARAH LOUELLA (Cloudstreet), MAURIE OGDEN (The Shark Net), DAVID BOWERS (Cloudstreet), IGOR SAS (Lockie Leonard), MURRAY DOWSETT (The Circuit), LAURA FAIRCLOUGH (Cloudstreet) and NIDA graduate PHIL MIOLIN. Youngsters SEAN KEENAN (Lockie Leonard) from Busselton and KAI ARBUCKLE from Clarkson play the young Kelly brothers.
DRIFT is co-directed by MORGAN O'NEILL (Solo, upcoming feature The Factory) and BEN NOTT in his feature film debut. The screenplay is written by MORGAN O'NEILL from an original story by O'Neill and TIM DUFFY (Let's Talk About Sex) and produced by TIM DUFFY, MICHELE BENNETT (Chopper) and MYLES POLLARD.

Video Flashback : Driver Eight – Strange
Brandon J. on 05/18/2012 at 9:00 am | Video Flashback | 9 | Tags : alt-rock, Driver Eight, Strange, Tooth & Nail, Watermelon
Today's Video Flashback is from the band Driver Eight and their song "Strange". The album "Watermelon" was released on Tooth & Nail Records back in 1996. They only released one album then called it quits. It was a shame because they had major potential to be the next huge alt-rock band. I did see them a few times during their run and they were a fabulous live band. Hey Tooth & Nail, I really hope you're planning a 20th Anniversary Fest down here in Orange County next year ;) Bring back some of these bands just for one night.

Mallorca Travel Guide
Cala Esmeralda, Cala d'Or © Spanish Tourist Board
The island of Mallorca (Majorca) off the east coast of Spain is the largest in the Balearic Island group, which collectively form one of the most popular holiday destinations in the Mediterranean (if not the world).
Mallorca took off as a tourist mecca in the 1960s, when a development boom spawned the building of hundreds of high-rise hotels, apartment blocks and shopping centres which now line most of the island's coast. The capital, Palma, however still retains some of its historical flavour sporting grand mansions and a magnificent Gothic cathedral in its bustling centre. The northwest coast, too, still offers some secluded coves below the peaks of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range, and several quaint old towns and villages.
If you visit Mallorca for the sun and fun, it is worth taking a break from the beach resorts and heading off for a tour of the island by car, or even bicycle, to discover the romantic fishing villages, historic monasteries, monuments, museums and spectacular landscapes tucked away from the madding crowds. The interior is largely the preserve of a thriving agricultural community, dotted with windmills, olive and almond trees.

Başak Şahin Duman Gets Political Asylum in Croatia
30. July 2012 - 12:36 — Dejan Georgievski Printer-friendly versionSend by emailCroatian courts approved the request for political asylum to Turkish activist Başak Şahin Duman, arrested on May 28, 2012 at Zagreb International Airport on arrest warrant issued by Turkey, after they ruled that her claims that she was persecuted for her political reasons were well founded. The approval papers were presented to Tihomir Mišić, Başak's Croatian lawyer, last Thursday, July 26.
Başak Şahin Duman is allowed to stay in Croatia and the request for extradition to Turkey will be annulled. According to Rijeka-based Novi List daily, the decision to approve the political asylum was adopted in an extremely short time, having in mind that two months is not a lot in cases like this, and also the fact that the documentation from Turkey arrived just three weeks ago.
Başak Şahin Duman, who waited for the Croatian courts' rulling in extradition detention centre, was sentenced to six years in prison for her participation in public protests in 2004. She was arrested on basis of so-called "red" arrest warrant issued by Interpol.
Başak and her lawyer immediately appealed the extradition process and simultaneously filed for political asylum. During the extradition hearings, they demanded for asylum to be approved, or to extradite her to a third country in which she didn't face prosecution (Başak noted Germany as a possibility).
Başak Şahin Duman currently lives in Germany, where she moved before the execution of her prison sentence in Turkey. (Source: H-Alter/Novi list)

Pizza can continue to be the meal of choice: In a bit of a setback for the Obama administration, the USDA's efforts to push for schools to provide healthier lunches ran into a wall of starchy special interests after members of Congress, in coordination with the food industry, added an unhealthy amendment to a spending bill. The amendment limits how much the government can regulate starchy vegetables like potatoes, as well as tomato paste (the fundamental ingredient of pizza), in school lunches. Why? Congress says it'll be more expensive, due in part to vegetable prices. If the spending bill passes, we can blame kids' unhealthy lunches on Congress. We love pizza too, but really now.

Children, Mother's Day, motherhood, national mother, president woodrow wilson, second sunday, the dead, war, woodrow wilson
In the United States, Mother's Day is an annual holiday celebrated on the second Sunday in May. Many people believe that Mother's Day recognizes mothers, motherhood and maternal bonds in general, as well the positive contributions that they make to society.
On May 8, 1914, the U.S. Congress passed a law designating the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day and requesting a proclamation. On May 9, 1914, U.S. President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation declaring the first national Mother's Day as a day for American citizens to show the flag in honor of those mothers whose sons had died in war.
Don't know how this can be a "Happy" Mother's Day, but a remembrance for all mother's who lost sons or daughters to war.

Claim to Fame: Stage and screen actor
DOB: February 2, 1925
Diabetes Type: 2
Born in Detroit, Elaine Stritch came from a wealthy, devoutly Roman Catholic family, and was related to Samuel Cardinal Stritch, Archbishop of Chicago. She was educated at a finishing school and prepared for the stage at the Dramatic Workshop of the New School. She made her debut in 1944 and then went on to Broadway two years later.
Stritch went from standing by for Ethel Merman in Call Me Madam to her Tony-nominated performance in the revival of Edward Albee's A Delicate Balance. Her Broadway credits include Angel in the Wings, Pal Joey, On Your Toes, Bus Stop, Goldilocks, Sail Away, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (following Uta Hagen in the role of Martha), Company and Show Boat. In London's West End, she starred in Neil Simon's The Gingerbread Lady and Tennessee Williams' Small Craft Warnings. Other stage credits include the concert version of both Follies and Company at Lincoln Center and her appearance in A. R. Gurney's Love Letters with Jason Robards.
Stritch made her film debut in the 1957 remake of A Farewell to Arms. She co-starred in the 1977 Alain Renais film Providence and the award-winning BBC television series Two's Company. Other film credits include Cocoon: The Return; Woody Allen's September; Out to Sea with Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon; Krippendorf's Tribe with Richard Dreyfuss; An Unexpected Life with Stockard Channing and Stephen Collins; Woody Allen's Small Time Crooks; and Autumn in New York with Richard Gere and Winona Ryder.

Xarelto® demonstrates an improved clinical benefit in the treatment of acute DVT and PE, and prevention of recurrent DVT and PE in adults
The phase III EINSTEIN DVT and EINSTEIN PE studies evaluated the efficacy and safety of the single-drug approach with Xarelto 15 mg twice daily for 3 weeks then 20 mg once daily compared with the current standard dual-drug therapy (enoxaparin 1.0 mg/kg twice daily initially plus either warfarin or acenocoumarol dose adjusted to an international normalized ratio of 2.0–3.0) in patients with:
- Acute symptomatic DVT without symptomatic PE (EINSTEIN DVT)
- Acute symptomatic PE with or without symptomatic DVT (EINSTEIN PE)
The EINSTEIN EXT study compared the efficacy and safety of continued treatment with Xarelto 20 mg once daily or placebo for an additional 6 or 12 months in patients with confirmed symptomatic DVT or PE who had already been treated for 6–12 months with a VKA or Xarelto.
- Efficacy
- The ability of a drug to produce the desired effect.
- International Normalized Ratio
- A system for assessing the clotting tendency of blood in patients receiving anticoagulant therapy. For patients with atrial fibrillation, the recommended target INR range is between 2 and 3. If the INR is higher than 3, patients are at risk of serious bleeding. If the INR is less than 2, patients are at risk of a blood clotting event.
- Deep vein thrombosis
- A blood clot in a deep vein, usually resulting from damage to the vein or blood flow slowing down or stopping. Usually DVTs are found in the leg, but can also be in the arm. Distal DVTs are found in deep veins of the calf, and are the most common type of DVT. Proximal DVTs are found in the legs above the calf muscle up to the waist.
- Pulmonary embolism
- A potentially fatal condition caused by a blood clot blocking a vessel in the lung: usually the clot originates from a DVT in the legs. PE can result in permanent lung damage.
- Vitamin K antagonist
- An anticoagulant that inhibits multiple steps in the blood clotting process. Administered orally, the dose varies by patient, and regular monitoring and dose adjustment is required. Vitamin K antagonists have interactions with food and other drugs. Due to the many limitations of this drug, many patients are actually not treated and many of those who are treated are outside of the required target INR range, which can be the cause for increased bleeding or a greater risk of stroke.
