You know you may be too old to Trick or Treat when:
10. You keep knocking on your own front door.
9. People say: 'Great Boris Karloff Mask,' and you're not wearing a mask.
8. You ask for soft high fiber candy only.
7. When someone drops a candy bar in your bag, you lose your balance and fall over.
6. You remove your false teeth to change your appearance.
5. When the door opens you yell, 'Trick or...' and you can't remember the rest.
4. By the end of the night, you have a bag full of restraining orders.
3. You have to carefully choose a costume that doesn't dislodge your hairpiece.
2. You're the only Power Ranger in the neighborhood with a walker.
And the number one reason you may be too old to go Trick Or Treating...
1. You have to keep going home to pee!

This view of Red Wing and the Mississippi was taken the year of its sesquicentennial, in 2007.
Frances Densmore's father Benjamin and his brother Daniel started Red Wing Iron Works in 1866. Its financial success allowed the family to support her studies at Oberlin Conservatory of Music.
Red Wing Ironworks built, 2010.
Flour mills and grain elevators overlook Red Wing's crowded riverfront, c. 1900.
Red Wing Sewer Pipe factory employees are pictured about 1910 with some of their wares stacked and ready for shipment.
Original Red Wing Shoe Factory, 2010.
A view of Red Wing's crowded riverfront with Barn Bluff in the background, c. 1910. Levee Park, completed in 1905, occupies this space today.
Henry Lewis's 1855 lithograph shows Red Wing's village forty years after Tatankamani (Red Wing) brought his followers there.
The Mississippi River location of Red Wing, the Goodhue County seat, made it an early shipping point for Minnesota wheat. This photo of the city riverfront shows grain barges at anchorage, c. 1870.

Dr. James Hamilton has always said he didn't get into medicine to make money, but to make a difference.
Hamilton, who was inspired to become a doctor by his grandfather, a country doctor, is in his 51st year as a physician in Overton. He has delivered five generations of babies, and can't walk down a city street without meeting someone he delivered at birth.
Although Hamilton is grateful for the progress made in modern medicine, he does regret the loss of close doctor-patient relationships. He says in the past doctors cried with them in times of sickness and sorrow and laughed with them in times of joy. He says that relationship is eroding now and will probably never again be the same.

The NCAA is currently in the midst of a potentially landmark lawsuit from former UCLA basketball player Ed O'Bannon that's come up from time to time around here. After seeing his likeness in a video game, O'Bannon is seeking the return of the publicity rights he signed away forever when he took an NCAA scholarship. The annoyance isn't limited to O'Bannon: a separate suit from former Arizona State quarterback Sam Keller was folded in.
Now Darren Rovell's temporary leave at CNBC has provided current Oregon junior tight end David Paulson an opportunity to join them. He's got a front-row seat to the bizarre consequences of the NCAA's mandates:
…a college athlete can't even use his own name to make some extra cash. One of my teammates sells cars and the one thing he isn't allowed to do when selling the cars is to use his own name to publicize his business.↵
He is not allowed to use his name to make some extra money, but if you turn on the television on a Saturday you will see ESPN promoting an upcoming game by using a players' name and image.↵
Which ESPN gets paid for and his institution gets paid for and the NCAA gets paid for but the player does not.
It's tricky, though: allowing players to trade on their fame is a very short step away from legalizing booster payments to players. This hat is fantastic, Johnny Football. Allow me to purchase it for one thousand dollars, etc. Open that door a crack and every program that doesn't spend most of its time looking down its nose at the plebeians will be trying to jam it open as far as possible. How are you supposed to distinguish between legitimate business transactions and laundered payments for on-field services? Even if it's possible, it would require a boatload of compliance activity that schools don't want to deal with and the NCAA can't handle at a national level.
Paulson suggests a cap on the possible earnings—though it's unclear how that would be implemented—and acknowledges the compliance difficulties inherent; even with the cap it doesn't see like the NCAA can possibly implement anything other than its current zero-tolerance nannying without massive exploitation. Programs are always trying to push the edges even when the money hose is completely illegitimate.
Even so, it's hard to disagree with this:
At the end of the day if it is too much to ask to let college players have their publicity rights at least give us our rights back to us when we are done playing.↵
They've already got some. Witness the Terrence Cody autograph bonanza. Cody's a perfect example of a kid who the NCAA is exploiting massively: he's a planetoid defensive tackle who dropped to the end of the second round of the NFL draft, injury or weight is likely to claim his NFL career before he reaches anything approximating financial comfort—especially with seven siblings all younger than him. He was also one of the most famous players on a national championship team. 50 years from now when networks need a go-to highlight it will probably be Cody blocking Tennessee's last-gasp field goal attempt. He'll get nothing from that unless O'Bannon wins.

Halloween pumpkin carving is usually about the orange and black, but this year let's make Halloween a little more stylish... and modern of course. Let's make it all about black, white and some bits of gold!
If you don't want to deal with the ooo-ey goo-ey mess of pumpkin guts, painting pumpkins is a great way to go! Create modern Halloween decor by styling your house with a monochromatic collection of either black or white pumpkins. Clusters of black and white modern outdoor chairs would be great on the front porch, making the cool pumpkins company!
Or, let the artist in you shine and go with gorgeous modern patterns, such as having black paint drip over a white pumpkion or the modern herringbone pattern. If you're looking for some inspiration for patterns, take a look at these images of modern gothic architecture (below).
The shapes and patterns found in Modern Gothic Architecture are sure to inspire some stylish Halloween decor! The gorgeous shapes found in the ceiling in the first image are breathtaking.
The silhouette of the Doimo in Milan (image 2) is quite eery against the dark cloudy sky. The negative and positive space in this photo is more than stunning and would be a striking work of art on your handpainted pumpkin! Inspiration from stained glass (image 3) is another great form of inspiration! This stained glass in Wim Delvoye's window is actually made out of x-rays. little creepy right?
Hope you're enjoying this fun holiday season! Make sure to make it stylish... and modern!

It's that time of year again where keeping cozy inside your modern home office seems like a better idea than going anywhere else to work (if you have the option).
Having the perfect office chair is often times the key to staying productive because if your legs start falling asleep or your back starts hurting, productivity is out the window! Finding a cozy chair to sink into (but not too far) is key! And just because you want something comfortable doesn't mean you have to compromise on aesthetic. There are so many stylish, modern office chairs to choose from these days.
Here are some of our top picks (below) for your crisp white modern office...
Some of you would be much more cozy with an organic-style office design. Mixing in modern design elements with pops of color, like a modern red office chair, will give your office a little energy.
The key to having a productive workspace is getting your office clean and organized. This will bring you clarity and allow that creative energy to flow. Hope you're all staying cozy and being productive as the weather continues to cool down.

Higher power gives way to high end design in these chic church renovations. So how do you turn a house of worship into a modern home? Take a look at the examples below for divine inspiration, and then get yourself a realtor who's in thick with the cloistered crowd.
If cleanliness is next to godliness, the minimalist decor of this Brisbane, Australia, converted church (pictured above and below) will make a believer out of most anyone.
The bathroom below all but erases the heritage of the space by mixing black and white finishes with a dramatic chandelier. Now that's a case of intelligent design.
You can achieve a similiar lighting look with the Jonathan Adler Meurice Brass Robert Abbey Chandelier.
In this Utrecht church renovation (below), original stained glass windows are the eyes to the soul inside.
Sometimes, simply hanging a few clean and modern pendant lights and a mid-century inspired floor lamp can dramatically transform a church space.
The Chrome Arch Black Marble Base Floor Lamp featured below is a great example of simple modern styling that would work well in any space.
Open floor plans. Exposed ceilings. Massive windows. Wood floors. Long before modern design ever existed, churches unwittingly encompassed many of its philosophical fundamentals. Now it is up to chic church renovations to carry on the legacy.

So, if the Euro Style Lighting blogging team were to go on a retreat anywhere... This is where we'd go! But, since we're not, and we couldn't make it to France to stay in this modern cabin even if we did have a blogger retreat, we'll just dream. Let's start with dark modern seating.
Elton Vintage Brass Wire Accent Table, Draper Mid-Century Modern Desk Lamp, Zuo Modern Providence Black Tufted Sofa, Anika Walnut Coffee Table, Draper Mid-Century Modern Floor Lamp
The hallway is a clear example of the linear architecture that runs through the house. Natural, light wood finishes pair nicely with the dark floors, walls and furniture.
Clean white walls and natural wood panels give this bedroom space a modern, clean vibe. There's no doubt this bedroom would win the minimally modern prize. Simple white sconces can help you achieve this look in your bedroom.
Let's face it, no modern cabin would be complete without a space to warm up, right? Check out this fabulous jacuzzi room.
There's lots of ways to achieve this cozy, modern look in your own home. Rather than be sad we don't live here, we just get very inspired to achieve the look. We hope this home inspires you too...

Reviews for Spinach & Bacon Hash Brown Quiche
Sort By :
I added chopped red bell peppers and garlic powder to the eggs mixture. It turned out beautifully. My family loved it. A great dish to impress your guests, too. It's a keeper.
This is so delicious and versatile. I didn't have bacon so used sausage and it was perfect. Great way to use up some spinich. I added extra seasoning and also seasoned the hash brown crust. Yummy!!
This recipe was a great way to use up spinach left in the "bottom of the bag." Nobody knew the difference and the recipe was terrific. I also used refrigerated potato shreds (leftovers too!) and they worked fine. A definate keeper - and just like the picture, oranges make a good side.
Very good! Had to use frozen spinach but still turned out good. I sauteed the frozen spinach with the onion & also some red pepper and chopped mushrooms. Was making this for dinner so I did double the eggs to make it more filling. Also thought it needed a little more seasoning, so I would recommend adding some seasoned salt.
The family loved this one. I didn't have bacon so I diced bologna and cooked it with the onion and it was delicious. next time we'll try the bacon.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have had a very exciting offseason, as they signed star outfielder Matt Kemp to an eight-year contract extension. The Los Angeles Dodgers have had a very boring offseason, as they signed free agents Matt Treanor, Mark Ellis, Adam Kennedy, Jerry Hairston Jr. and Juan Rivera. Early Tuesday, the Los Angeles Dodgers made a move ranking somewhere in between very boring and very exciting. They locked up free agent starter Aaron Harang, according to Jon Heyman:
On the excitement scale, Harang fits between Ellis and Chris Capuano, who the Dodgers also recently signed. He'll be expected to serve as the team's fifth starter behind Capuano, Clayton Kershaw, Chad Billingsley and Ted Lilly. Another option would've been leaning on prospect Nathan Eovaldi, but the 21-year-old has limited experience above double-A, so the Dodgers will allow him to develop in the minors.
What's the deal with Harang? First, he's 33. Next, he's right-handed. Next, he was born in San Diego and prefers playing on the west coast. Finally, he posted a 3.64 ERA last season with the Padres, although that was good for just a 98 ERA+.
Harang's kind of a difficult guy to figure out. In his best years, with the Reds, he limited his walks and generated a fair number of strikeouts. The last two years, his walks have gone up and his strikeouts have gone down despite no apparent decline in stuff. That has, naturally, made him less successful. But even if this is who he is now, he's still fine for a fifth starter, so in that regard the Dodgers probably won't regret this too much. If and when Eovaldi is ready, space can be made. For now, Harang fills a need, at a moderate price.

Floods stall Christmas getaway
11:57am Saturday 22nd December 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
Rail passengers and motorists are enduring further misery as the great Christmas getaway is stalled by continued wet weather, while homes and businesses have been flooded.
Four severe flood warnings - which means there is a danger to life - have been issued for south-west England as large parts of the UK continue to be battered by heavy rain.
The town of Braunton in north Devon has been effectively cut off, with homes and shops under water after the River Caen burst its banks. Surface water began to build as rain fell overnight and residents in the town woke to find Caen Street and the A361 under water.
Meanwhile, First Great Western has advised rail passengers whose travel is not essential to avoid any journeys west of Taunton in Somerset because of flooding and landslips.
The train operator said road vehicles are being used to transport passengers between Taunton, Exeter and Plymouth, but even that service is being hampered by flooded roads.
The Highways Agency said there are a handful of flooding incidents but they are not causing delays on the motorway network.
The Environment Agency (EA) issued two severe flood warnings for Braunton, and one each for Heston and Lostwithiel, both in Cornwall. The agency has also issued 108 flood warnings - where flooding is expected - across the whole of England and Wales, and 313 flood alerts, meaning flooding is possible.
In Scotland, there are 16 flood warnings in place which mean flooding is expected, mainly in Perthshire. A total of 15 less-serious flood alerts have been issued.
An EA spokesman said there is a heightened flood risk across Cornwall, Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Bristol, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, West and East Sussex, south Wales, Ceredigion, Gwynedd and North Yorkshire.
Paul Mustow, head of flood incident management at the EA, said: "With four severe flood warnings in force and further rain forecast, it is vital that communities remain flood aware."

4.09/5 rDev +10.2%
very dark stout with a chocolate head. Head was thin but it could have been the bartender.
Smells sweet, hints of chocolate, burnt malt.
Tastes much the way it smells, chocolately, roasted, sweet, milk was not very noticeable.
Mouthfeel was smooth, creamy, very easy drinking. Hides it's ABV well. So far my favorite beer from Rust Belt.

Got this one at a bomber sale at the local brew shop. Pours out a nice thick head, very dark beer. You can smell the sweetness in this brew. Chocolate/coffee notes buried a little by the overwhelming sweetness. This is just my opinion because I do prefer a dryer beer. It just seemed a little too rich for me.

Poured into a Sammy Smith nonic. A massive sandstone head formed on top of the brownish-black body. The light penetrates this, causing ruby edges. Lots of lace was left behind as the bubbles vanished.
The nose is dominated by sweet malts. Coffee, bakers chocolate and molasses play a background role.
Very little of the nose is transferred into the taste. Pretty much a thin, wet coffee flavor with some sweet lactose in the background...very weak.
Light bodied, watery with moderate carbonation.
Man...I really wanted to like this...but ney. Lacking greatly in flavor and complexity. Hopefully something from these guys hits...

Blind beer #3 from sitarist.
This is a bomber...
Smells "stouty" upon popping the cap so I pulled out my Darkness snifter...
Deep red coming from the bottle, but very very dark in the in the glass- almost black. It is in fact a deep brown with red hints in the legs and along the edges. Very small head, even for a vigorous pour. The head that did arrive left quickly to become a collar around the ring of the glass. No lacing.
Smells chocolatey. Some roastiness comes through too. Smells like a generic stout. Nothin really standing out, but not bad at all.
Tastes very sweet. Some roasty notes and sweet chocolate....
Body is medium with very low carbonation that leads to an oily feel.
This isn't bad. I have problem finishing the bomber...
Reveals--- Rust Belt Brewing- McPovley's Milk Stout.
Hmmm. Well knowing this is a milkstout, I'd say this is pretty decent. It isn't the best I've had, but it is tasty and meets the style guidelines.

drank on 3.3.01. this is beer #7 from sitarist from Blind Beer BIF #4.
an aggressive pour yields very little tan head in my chalice glass. the head that did decide to show up is bubbly but not frothy - nice to look at but like my high school girl friend, decided not to stick around very long. at least it leaves nice collar around the edge of the glass.
so now it is the time to put it up to the schnoz, I get lots of malts - not necessarily roasted malts - but darker malts. slight smokiness in there somewhere. some butterscotch in there blended with some earthiness. eh, its ok from a smell perspective.
taste- wow, very unique. very malty but also very hoppy and sweet and weird. not sure what to say. there is a bit of roasted malts in the aftertaste. some mild chocolate hanging in there somewhere. body is medium but light and airy at the same time. not undercarbonated but not over-fizzy.

On-tap at bocktown
A- Body is a dark brown hue. Served with a 1 finger or so creamy creme brulee colored head. This fades to a >1/2 finger but has decent retention. No lacing left behind in the glass.
S- The nose is very good and interesting. It actually has a lot of smoked peat to it-it accents the nose. Behind this is a classic milk stout. Milk chocolate and a hint of roasted malt.
T- Taste is very similar to the smell. Upfront is that smokeyness with a chocolate malt backbone. The milk component comes through more for the finish as well as a hint of roasted malt and the smoke fades completely for the finish.
M- Medium carbonation and fairly heavy body. Smooth but slightly dry.
D- This is a very good, interesting milk stout overall. I really like the added smoke quality to the typical milkm stout profile-it adds a hint of rauchbier to it. Its just a hair dry-but overall job very well done by rust belt.

4.22/5 rDev +13.7%
Pours pitch black on tap at Bocktown forms a minimal shortly lived tan head with fine speckled lacing. Aroma has dark chocolate, some creamy lactose notes, and hints of dark coffee with a touch of smoke in the background. Dark chocolate, sweet syrup flavor again cream stout acidity notes as well bigger than your standard version, hints of smoke and dark coffee from the roasted malts. Mouthfeel coats the palate full bodied bigger beer from Youngstown, OH. Glad to see this on tap in the Burgh, Rust Belt must be doing okay if they're coming out with the big beer lineup now. Drinkability was solid definitely a nice dessert or after dinner beer I enjoyed a couple four ounce pours at lunch today.

3.78/5 rDev +1.9%
Pours a dark midnight brown, impervious to light. A pleasant tan colored head quickly forms atop the brew only to fade away moments later leaving only a ring of glass-clinging foam.
The scent is sweet and dry; dark chocolate and roasted malts.
The first flavor to come through is the sweet chocolate malts, followed by toasted grain and a mild dry hop.
This pairs really well with deserts. The first time I tried it there was a chocolate cake that went wonderfully with the brew. Drank it straight this time though.
Nice creamy, silk-smooth mouthfell with a mild lingering dryness in the aftermath.
A solid milk stout, for sure; though not the best I've tried. Still though, it's a well done seasonal brew that's worth trying.

The Seahawks have locked up center Max Unger beyond the 2012 season after signing the anchor of Seattle's offensive line to a multi-year extension. Seattle announced the signing on Wednesday afternoon, just days before the start of training camp.||||||| Unger, who was a second-round pick out of Oregon in 2009, was entering the final year of his initial rookie contract and was due to become a free agent after the 2012 season. Terms of Unger's deal were not released. Unger has started all 32 games he's played in his NFL career. Unger started his entire rookie season in 2009, but missed most of the 2010 season with a toe injury. Last year, he started 15 games at center.
Unger is done for the season after being placed on injured reserve with a left toe injury.||||||| Seattle made the move on Tuesday, re-signing guard Mansfield Wrotto, who was released by the team at the end of training camp. Unger was injured early in Sunday's 31-6 win over San Francisco but played the entire game. Coach Pete Carroll disclosed Unger's injury on Monday and Unger was wearing a protective boot on his left foot.
The Seahawks have signed second-round draft choice Max Unger to a four-year contract that guarantees $1.95 million, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press.||||||| The person spoke on the condition of anonymity Wednesday night because the team had yet to announce the deal and has a policy of not releasing terms. The contract, first reported by The Seattle Times, could be worth more than $3 million.

NEW YORK (MainStreet) The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced August 29 that it will "encourage" Swiss banks to cooperate with its tax evasion investigations. Part of the encouragement comes in the form of a joint statement with the Swiss Federal Department of Finance, stating the mountain nation - known for its clocks, neutrality and the tendency of its banks not to ask too many questions about depositor's money - will cooperate with DOJ.
Banks that aided tax evaders - and are currently not under criminal investigation - will be slammed with significant penalties, and they must make complete disclosure of their cross-border activities and provide detailed information on an account-by-account basis for accounts in which U.S. taxpayers have a direct or indirect interest.
"This program will significantly enhance the Justice Department's ongoing efforts to aggressively pursue those who attempt to evade the law by hiding their assets outside of the United States," said Attorney General Eric Holder. "In addition to strengthening our partnership with the Swiss government, the program's requirement that Swiss banks provide detailed account information will improve our ability to bring tax dollars back to the U.S. treasury from across the globe."
These banks will also be required to:
- Cooperate in treaty requests for account information
- Provide detailed information as to other banks that transferred funds into secret accounts or that accepted funds when secret accounts were closed
- Agree to close accounts of account holders who fail to come into compliance with U.S. reporting obligations
The program is sort of a get-out-jail-free card for the banks. If they do everything required they will not be prosecuted.

Available Repositories for CentOS
There are several repositories provided by CentOS and other 3rd party developers that offer software packages that are not included in the default base and updates repositories. While no list can be 100% complete, as anyone may announce an archive, it represents some major efforts and provides a summary of what each repository offers. These repositories have varying levels of stability, support and cooperation within the CentOS community.
Please note that apart from the subdivision of this page into CentOS Provided Repositories and Third Party Repositories, the repositories are listed purely in the order of their addition to this page. The position of a repository's name does not signify its status, reputation, priority or quality of its content over that of any other so listed repository.
About 'enabled' and 'disabled' repository configuration files
Please consult: man 5 yum.conf and consider the discussion of: enabled=0, and the inverse setting of the: enabled=1 counterpart. A line containing one of these options may, and probably should be added to each .conf file in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory. Perhaps intuitively this allows the administrator of a given installation to more clearly specify whether a given repository is, or is not consulted for finding a package solution. After any edits of these files, in order to clear any cached information, and to make sure the changes are immediately recognized, as root run:
# yum clean all
Additional CentOS Provided Repositories
CentOS Extras - This repository contains items that provide additional functionality to CentOS without breaking upstream compatibility or updating base components. The CentOS development team have tested every item in this repository and they all work with CentOS. They have not been tested by the upstream provider and are not available in the upstream products. This repository is shipped with CentOS and is enabled by default. Popular packages from this repository include: The horde framework and packages, freenx, apt, XFCE, yumex and centos-release-cr (depending on the point releases where used) for CentOS-5. The CentOS-6 Extras repo currently contains centos-release-cr for the Continuous Release repository, nx/freenx/opennx and their dependencies, and jfsutils.
CentOSPlus - This repository contains items that actually upgrade certain base CentOS components. This repo will change CentOS so that it is not exactly like the upstream provider's content. The CentOS development team have tested every item in this repository and they all work with CentOS. They have not been tested by the upstream provider and are not available in the upstream products. This repository is shipped with CentOS but is not enabled by default. Popular packages from this repository include: postfix with mysql and postgresql database support (for CentOS 5) or the CentOS-Plus kernel (a rebuilt kernel with additional drivers & filesystem support).
CS/GFS - This repository is a rebuild of the upstream provider's Cluster Suite and Global File System for CentOS-4 and provides support for the x86 and x86_64 architectures. The CentOS development team have tested every item in this repository and they all work under CentOS-4. This repository is not shipped by default with CentOS-4 , although the repository config file can be found at http://vault.centos.org/4.9/csgfs/CentOS-csgfs.repo. (Note: This repo is now past EOL, but is still available in the CentOS Vault)
CentOS-Testing - This repository is a proving ground for packages on their way to CentOSPlus and CentOS Extras. They may or may not replace core CentOS packages and are not guaranteed to function properly. These packages install but are waiting for feedback from testers as to their functionality and stability. Packages in this repository will come and go during the development period, so it should not be left enabled or used on production systems. This repository is intentionally not shipped with CentOS by default, although the repository config files can be found at: CentOS 5: http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/CentOS-Testing.repo CentOS 6: http://dev.centos.org/centos/6/testing/CentOS-Testing.repo
CentOS-Fasttrack - This repository contains bugfix and enhancement updates, issued from time to time, between update sets that may be rolled into the next update set. See this Readme file for more details. The repository config files are available here: CentOS-5, CentOS-6 and CentOS-7.
debuginfo - This repository contains packages with debugging symbols generated when the primary packages were built. No repo config is provided by default. Tools like oprofile, crash, and systemtap require debuginfo packages. Note that debuginfo packages may not be signed so must be installed with "--nogpgcheck" or using "gpgcheck=0" in the repo definition. These packages are found at http://debuginfo.centos.org/
contrib - This repository contains packages contributed by CentOS users which do not overlap with any of the core distribution packages. These packages have not been tested by the CentOS developers and may not track the upstream version releases very closely.
CR - The continuous release ( CR ) repository contains packages from the next point release of CentOS, which isn't itself released as yet.
Software Collections - The SCL repository contains newer versions of various programs. These packages can be installed alongside existing older packages. At the time of writing, the repository contains packages for mariadb55, mysql55, nodejs010, perl516, php54, postgres92, python27, python33 and ruby193.
Third Party Repositories
WARNING: These repositories are not provided nor supported by CentOS. They are listed in a 'catch as catch can' order, and being listed earlier does not imply any particular merit to a given repository. The CentOS project exercises no editorial control over the assertions of computability made by these sites. Many 3rd party repositories are mutually incompatible and will cause dependency issues and conflicts, as well as stability issues, if used together! If something from them breaks, you get to keep the pieces. Some of the repos, such as RPMforge, ELRepo, ATrpms, EPEL and RPMfusion have their own mailing lists for support issues with their packages.
NOTE: If you are considering using a 3rd Party Repository, then you should seriously consider how to prevent unintended 'updates' from these side archives from over-writing some core part of CentOS. One approach is to only enable these archives from time to time, and generally leave them disabled. See: man yum
Another approach is to use the exclude= and includepkgs= options on a per sub-archive basis, in the matching .conf file found in /etc/yum.repos.d/ See: man yum.conf
There are also additional non-stock plug-ins to extend yum using the Priorities (or ProtectBase) yum plugin. (The Priorities and ProtectBase plugins can each prevent a 3rd party repository from replacing base packages, but Priorities is much more flexible and therefore a more powerful plugin.)
RPMForge - This repository is a collaboration of Dag (who also maintains an individual archive) and other packagers. The archive provides over 10,000 packages for CentOS, including mplayer, xmms-mp3 and other popular media tools. You can read the installation instructions at Installing RPMForge. This repository is considered by many in the community to be stable and safe.
This repository sometimes is referred to as DAG repository or similar.
KBS-Extras - This site (by a CentOS team member) provides a rebuild of selected packages from the archive formerly known as Fedora Extras but patched as needed for CentOS, as well as number of other packages. This repository is available at http://centos.karan.org and has a reputation for being stable and safe. Current CentOS 5 packages are in -testing repos only, the primary repos being empty.
kde-redhat.sf.net - This repository provides more recent (bleeding-edge) versions of KDE for use on Red Hat based systems. This repository has a decent reputation and a sizable support community. Note: - This repo will update MANY packages to newer versions than Base CentOS ships, including all of KDE, QT, samba, etc. A CentOS team member commented at revision 25: "This seems to work OK on all machines I have tried but your machine will be far from CentOS with many changes to the [Base] CentOS Operating System." Information concerning setup is available here: http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/
ATrpms - This repository provides many bleeding-edge applications and media utilities such as myth-tv. This repository is available at http://atrpms.net/ This repository's CentOS 4 and earlier archive replaces system packages with versions which are usually later than those which Base CentOS ships, and may cause stability issues. Use at your own risk. The CentOS 5/RHEL 5 repository from atrpms.net is safe to use, if you only use the stable version. Packages in there do not overwrite system packages. If you also enable testing and bleeding sub-trees from, ATrpms, you are in uncharted waters again - these two do overwrite system packages; testing however, has been labeled a misnomer by Axel Thimm and is pretty much required to get MythTV and a lot of other ATrpms multimedia packages to work. ATrpms testing has actually been tested and is analogous to centosplus.
Mailing list for atrpms users.
Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) - This repository (See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) provides rebuilds of Fedora packages for EL5, EL6 and EL7. Install the appropriate epel-release package for EL5, EL6 or EL7 to configure. This repo has made efforts not to replace system packages. In some cases it has endeavored to directly address CentOS compatibility but has expressly denied inter-repository compatibility as a goal. It may not mix well with other 3rd party repos. So, make SURE you are using the Priorities yum plugin if you are using EPEL ... especially if you mix its packages with those from other 3rd party repos. It should also be noted that, while EPEL may not overwrite distro packages, it may have conflicts with the CentOS extras repo which is enabled by default.
Mailing list for EPEL development - not really a support list, but seems to be the only option. On that list, an EPEL community member has indicated that attending to CentOS support and compatibility (to 'cater for' CentOS) was not an EPEL responsibility to him, as the CentOS usage level was not "verified with a realistic statistic". Another at EPEL recalled the history and represented a 'cooler head' with a goal to not gratuitously break CentOS with version skew.
Adobe Repository - This repository (See http://blogs.adobe.com/acroread/2008/02/adobe_reader_now_available_via.html) provides Adobe Reader in a number of languages and flash-plugin. Install adobe-release to configure the repo http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/i386/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm for the i386 arch or http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/x86_64/adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch.rpm for x86_64.
RPMfusion Repository - (See http://rpmfusion.org/) Still in its infancy, particularly as regards EL5 packages - most available packages are in "testing" stage as of this writing. Suggest extreme caution if using this repo. From the above link: "RPM Fusion provides software that the Fedora Project or Red Hat doesn't want to ship. That software is provided as precompiled RPMs for all current Fedora versions and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5; you can use the RPM Fusion repositories with tools like yum and PackageKit. RPM Fusion is a merger of Dribble, Freshrpms, and Livna; our goal is to simplify end-user experience by grouping as much add-on software as possible in a single location."
Mailing list for RPMfusion users.
Les RPM de Remi repository - (See http://rpms.famillecollet.com/) has been recommended on the mailing list and forum. Remi Collet maintains latest version of MySQL and PHP (backports of fedora RPM). Repo configs for EL6 i386 EL6 x86_64, EL5 i386, and EL5 x86_64 as well as EL4 are available. Suggest caution if using this repo due to replacement of core packages.
The Community Enterprise Linux Repository - (See ELRepo) Follow the ELRepo tiki article to install the elrepo-release package and import the GPG key. It currently has four channels and focuses on kmod driver packages to enhance hardware support in EL5, EL6 and EL7 (including display, filesystem, hwmon, network, sound, webcam drivers).
- elrepo
elrepo is the default channel. This channel will not update any distro packages. The channel may be enabled in /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo or used with yum --enablerepo=elrepo (the recommended method).
- elrepo-testing
The elrepo-testing channel provides testing packages yet to be released to the main elrepo channel and is disabled by default. The channel may be enabled in /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo or used with yum --enablerepo=elrepo-testing (the recommended method).
- elrepo-kernel
The elrepo-kernel channel provides a long-term supported & the latest stable mainline kernels from the Linux Kernel Archives configured for EL{5|6|7} and is disabled by default. The packages are intentionally named kernel-lt & kernel-ml so as not to conflict with the CentOS/EL{5|6|7} kernels and, as such, they may be installed and updated alongside the regular kernel. Please see the kernel-lt & kernel-ml pages for further details and cautions about use of non-CentOS kernels. It may be enabled in the /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo file or used with yum --enablerepo=elrepo-kernel.
- elrepo-extras
The elrepo-extras channel provides packages that replace packages in CentOS or other compatible distros and is disabled by default. This will keep the main elrepo channel safe in terms of usage by not updating any distribution packages. See the announcement for details. It may be enabled in the /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo file or used with yum --enablerepo=elrepo-extras.
Mailing list for ELRepo users and ELRepo development.
The SerNet Samba 3 Repository - German site with Samba 3 packages for Centos 3, 4, and 5 Repo configs for 3, 4, and 5 are available. Some users have reported success with these packages but caution is advised.
Note: the structure for this repo has changed and there are now 3.2 3.3 3.4 and 3.5 trees. The current repo links point to the last.
JPackage Repository - (See http://www.jpackage.org/index.php ) "The JPackage Project has two primary goals:
- To provide a coherent set of Java software packages for Linux, satisfying all quality requirements of other applications.
- To establish an efficient and robust policy for Java software packaging and installation. We focus on free and open source software whenever possible. For convenience, we also provide non-free packages without the restricted source code. Our RPMs are generic in that they should work on any RPM based Linux distribution (Mandrake, Red Hat, SuSE, others). Other packaging format suggestions are welcome too. "
A repo file is provided.
Jason Litka - Utter Ramblings Repository - (See http://www.jasonlitka.com/yum-repository/) Updated web stack and other applications for EL4 and EL5 that will replace core packages. Includes apr, apr-util, freetds, httpd, libmcrypt, mhash, mod_evasive, mod_perl, mod_python, mod_security, mysql, mysqlclient10, mysqlclient14, pcre, perl-BSD-Resource, php, php-apc, php-eaccelerator, php-memcache, php-pear, php-xcache, subversion, tidy. Suggest caution if using this repo due to replacement of core packages.
IUS Community Repo - (See http://iuscommunity.org/ - http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-docs/2009-November/003730.html ) 'IUS is a new third party repo for RHEL that provides the "latest upstream versions of PHP, Python, MySQL". It is sponsored by internal work at Rackspace (but officially unsupported).' See their Client Usage Guide to install the ius-release package to configure the repo. Caution is suggested in using this repo as it will replace core packages. See also their FAQ which frankly discusses pros and cons.
Atomic Repo - (See http://www.atomicorp.com/downloads.html) Atomicorp has commercial products as well as free repositories with later version of PHP 5.3 and MySQL 5.1 and many other packages. Some additional packages that may not be available elsewhere include hunspell, snort, and zabbix. They also provide Plesk. Repository definitions are available in atomic-release packages.
Be particularly careful about the Atomic repo as they enable their repo by default when installed, and overwrite user changes in the configuration without notice when the release package is updated. Atomic will replace many core packages as configured when installed. Many CentOS users have had problems after enabling this repo, as a forum search will reveal. Even removing packages installed from this repository may leave the system in an unusable state. You've been warned.
PostgreSQL RPM Building Project - Yum Repository - (See http://yum.postgresql.org/) The PostgreSQL RPM Building Project carries builds of several PostgreSQL versions for Fedora, RHEL, and derivatives, along with some related packages. This repository will replace core packages. They supply multiple release packages for yum for the various versions supported. Use with care.
Google RPM Packages - (See http://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/ ) Google provides packages for the google-chrome browser, Google Earth, and other applications. They are more likely to work with CentOS-6 than with earlier releases. They do not provide repo files, but some samples can be found on the GoogleYumRepos page. Use with care.
LinuxTECH.NET Repositories - (see http://pkgrepo.linuxtech.net/el6/ ) The LinuxTECH.NET repos are a set of small but growing personal repos for EL6 compatible distros, created for personal use, but also accessible publicly on an "AS IS" basis. The main focus of these repos is Audio / Video related packages with an emphasis on wide support of codecs and as many optional features enabled as possible in all packages. Apart from Audio / Video related packages you will also find a few other unusual server and desktop related packages that no other EL compatible repo has.
- release
- Contains what the maintainer considers production quality packages.
- testing
- Contains packages that haven't been thoroughly tested or that still contain known unresolved issues.
- backports
Contains packages that replace core EL6 packages with newer upstream releases. These packages usually have new desirable features or support for newer hardware. WARNING: Only enable the "backports" repo if you don't mind core EL6 packages being replaced by these updated packages!
A repo config is available at: http://pkgrepo.linuxtech.net/el6/release/linuxtech.repo All packages are signed with the GPG key available at: http://pkgrepo.linuxtech.net/el6/release/RPM-GPG-KEY-LinuxTECH.NET
Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) - (see http://www.trinitydesktop.org/about.php ) The Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) project is a computer desktop environment for Unix-like operating systems with a primary goal of retaining the overall KDE 3.5 computing style. EL5 and EL6 yum repositories are available. They have their own support resources to which any Trinity questions should be directed.
agr-free - (see http://rpm.agresearch.co.nz/) Agr-free is a repository of bioinformatics software for EL6 distributions, x86_64 architecture only. It is managed by AgResearch, New Zealand and contains a large selection of bioinformatics packages & dependencies, as used by scientists at AgResearch. It is designed to be used in combination with the EPEL repository. Full details can be found on the home page.
nux-dextop - (see http://li.nux.ro/repos.html)
A desktop and multimedia oriented RPM repository for EL6. It contains a lot of graphical programs such as Ardour, but also text based apps like Cone.This repository is made to coexist with Fedora EPEL; it will probably conflict badly with Repoforge/RPMforge and ATrpms and possibly other repos. It should not overwrite CentOS-Base.
ghettoforge - (see http://ghettoforge.org/)
The ghettoforge repository exists to augment the existing set of third-party repositories for Enterprise Linux releases 5 and 6 by providing those packages that either are not available elsewhere or newer packages than exist in either the distribution's base package sets or via other repositories. This means that some of the packages will overwrite base packages as provided by the distribution however we will endeavor to keep such packages in the [gf-plus] repository. Please see the usage section of the ghettoforge wiki for information on how to maintain sanity when using the gf-plus packages. Join #ghettoforge on freenode IRC for assistance
An example of what NOT to do
WARNING: Do NOT do this.
A person asked in the IRC channel about some external third-party 'yum' additional repository instructions. It is a bad idea to follow some external documents. A couple of examples of incorrect repo configs:
- Use of hard-coded version and architecture: 'baseurl=http: //ftp.belnet.be/packages/dries.ulyssis.org/redhat/el4/en/i386/dries/RPMS' This hard codes both for '$releasever' and '$basearch'. Compare this, to the more proper: 'baseurl=http: //apt.sw.be/redhat/el$releasever/en/$basearch/dag'. The 'hard coded' approach limits it to only be 'correct' for CentOS 4 on an i386 platform.
- Mixing Fedora repositories with CentOS oriented repositories: Look for 'name=Fedora', vs. 'name=CentOS.(whatever)'. Fedora repositories are not likely to be compatible with CentOS. Repositories for other Enterprise Linux distros derived from the same upstream sources are more likely to be compatible, but should still be used with care.
Please do NOT follow such examples. Use a critical eye and some thought to see what is proposed before adding to (and possibly breaking) your system's 'yum' configuration.

Leaky's Daily Quotedown to Deathly Hallows: 39 DaysDH Film
There are now only 39 days left until "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I" hits theaters! We are posting a quote from the first half of the book every day in celebration and to give us a chance to discuss and ponder the final book as it goes to film. Here is today's quote!
"How do you feel, Georgie?" whispered Mrs. Weasley.
George's fingers groped for the side of his head.
"Saintlike," he murmured.
"What's wrong with him?" croaked Fred, looking terrified. "Is his mind affected?"
"Saintlike," repeated George, opening his eyes and looking up at his brother. "You see . . . I'm holy. Holey, Fred, geddit?"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, "Fallen Warrior"
The two workmen made identical movements, and Harry mirrored them without conscious thought: All three of them drew their wands. Ron,a few seconds late in realizing what was going on, lunged across the table, pushing Hermione sideways onto her bench. The force of the Death Eaters' spells shattered the tiled wall where Ron's head had just been, as Harry, still invisible, yelled, "Stupefy!"
"Undetectable Extension Charm,"said Hermione. "Tricky, but I think I've done it okay; anyway,I managed to fit everything we need in here." She gave the fragile-looking bag a little shake and it echoed like a cargo hold as a number of heavy objects rolled around inside it. "Oh, damn, that'll be the books," she said, peering into it, "and I had them all stacked by subject. . . . Oh well. . . . Harry, you'd better take the Invisibility Cloak. Ron, hurry up and change. . . ."
Mrs. Weasley ran forward, but the hug Bill bestowed upon her was perfunctory. Looking directly at this father, he said, "Mad-Eye's dead."

KSP Highway Safety Branch News Release
Four Teens* Included in Highway Fatalities Last Week
Date of News Release: 12/08/08
(FRANKFORT, Ky.) - Preliminary statistics* indicate that thirteen people died in nine separate crashes on Kentucky roadways from Monday, December 1 through Sunday, December 7, 2008.
All of the fatalities involved motor vehicles and five of those victims were not wearing seat belts. Four of the crashes involved the suspected use of alcohol. Single vehicle crashes occurred in Gallatin, Jefferson, Jessamine, Lewis, Logan, Madison and Woodford counties.
A quadruple-fatality crash involving four teenagers occurred in Bell county. Kentucky State Police Post 10 Harlan and Commercial Vehicle Enforcement received a call about a two vehicle crash on US 25E in Pineville, KY. Unit 1, a 2007 Toyota Yaris was traveling south on US 25E. Unit 2, a 2008 Peterbilt coal truck was traveling northbound on US 25E. Due to inclement weather, the operator of Unit 1 lost control of the vehicle and crossed into the northbound lane of US 25E and was struck by Unit 2. The operator of Unit 2 was Dwight Robinson Jr., age 34 of Tyner, KY. The operator of Unit 1 was Jonathan Miracle, age 18 of Miracle, KY. The three passengers of Unit 1 were; Jessica Ingram, age 16 of Pineville, KY, Wesley Ingram, age 16 of Pineville, KY and Daniel Campbell, age 15 of Blackmont, KY. All four occupants of Unit 1 sustained fatal injuries. All subjects involved in this vehicle crash were wearing seatbelts and no drugs or alcohol is suspected at this time.
Daniel Campbell, Jessica Ingram and Wesley Ingram were all part of the Bell County High School Air Force Jr. ROTC and were on their way to march in the Christmas parade in Harlan, KY.
A double-fatality crash occurred in Woodford county. The victims were not wearing seat belts and the suspected use of alcohol is a factor in this crash.
Through December 7, 2008 preliminary statistics* indicate that 755 people have lost their lives on Kentucky roadways during 2008. This is 61 fewer than reported for this time period in 2007. Of the 578 motor vehicle fatalities, 361 victims were not wearing seat belts. Of the 88 motorcycle fatalities, 52 were not wearing helmets. Twenty-three people have been killed in ATV crashes and 21 of those were not wearing helmets. Sixty pedestrians have been killed. A total of 161 fatalities have resulted from crashes involving the suspected use of alcohol.
Citizens can contribute to highway safety by reporting erratic drivers to the Kentucky State Police toll-free at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Callers will remain anonymous and should give a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.
*A total of 71 teenage drivers (ages 16-19) have been killed on Kentucky roadways from January 1, 2008 through December 7, 2008.
*These statistics are still preliminary as KSP waits for all local law enforcement agencies throughout the state to report any crashes and fatalities that may have occurred in their areas.

Update: Looks like THR got bad intel. Reps for Guillermo del Toro reached out and said the production is just using a different name to book their studio space, a common practice in the industry (see "Return of the Jedi" that famously shot under the title "Blue Harvest.")
Guillermo del Toro's next phantasmagorical outing i
s getting a new moniker. His forthcoming Gothic romance "Crimson Peak," starring the scarily great Jessica Chastain, Mia Wasikowska, Charlie Hunnam and Tom Hiddleston, has been given the more anonymously spooky title " Haunted Peak " and a tentative release date of April, 2015. Shooting begins in February at Pinewood Toronto Studios and lasts until May. In between now and then, del Toro will direct the pilot for "The Strain," an FX series based on a trilogy of lousy vampire novels the filmmaker co-wrote with "The Town" scribe Chuck Hogan.
The plot for "Crimson Peak" is being closely guarded, but it is said to concern a young author (presumably the Wasikowska role, originally slated for Emma Stone) who discovers that her husband is not who he appears to be. It's supposed to be "very" R-rated and quite sexy, with del Toro having gone on record as saying it's an attempt to transplant the mood and atmosphere of his Spanish-language productions (things like "Pan's Labyrinth" and "The Devil's Backbone") into a larger scale American production. We cannot wait.
"The Strain," on the other hand, concerns an airplane that lands at JFK full of corpses, which leads a CDC agent (Corey Stoll), a professor (John Hurt) and an exterminator (Kevin Durand) to face down an evil threat in post-9/11 New York. It will be interesting, actually, to see if the series actually deals with 9/11 in any way, since the vampire menace partially makes its home in Ground Zero (pre-reconstruction). The pilot is all but assured a series commitment, which is ironic because the books were birthed from a failed pilot del Toro pitched to FX's sister station Fox, a few years ago. Oh Hollywood!
Del Toro's most recent film, "Pacific Rim," was just released on Blu-ray and hasn't left our PS3 in a few weeks. Like "Pacific Rim," "Crimson Peak" is being produced by Legendary Pictures and will presumably be released under their new deal with Universal (Universal released the del Toro-produced, Chastain-starring horror hit "Mama" earlier this year).
"Haunted Peak" will ominously rattle doorknobs in April 2015, smartly getting away from the summer 2015 bloodbath.
Dusty R. | December 25, 2013 4:54 PM
So glad that del Toro is doing a film like "Crimson Peak" - he is a genius. "Peak" has got an incredible cast - Mia Wasikowska and Tom Hiddelston sound great to me (Mia is brilliant) - Jessica Chastain is nothing to sneeze at either. "The Devil's Backbone" is a fantastic film - also love "Pan's Labryinth". Wish the film could come out sooner.

Ooooh, Guillermo doing a nice little 'hidden hand' pose there. Does this mean that he's a..*cough*â¦*splitter*â¦Freemason???

Swain, it's not a review, it's just a fact. Those novels are lousy.

"Lousy" novels? Now you do vampire literature reviews as well?

ARCADIA, Calif. (Feb. 20, 2011) – The Factor, whom Hall of Famer trainer Bob Baffert likes to think of as his 3-year-old "cannon," blasted the competition in his first graded stakes venture Sunday with a stylish three-quarter-length victory over Sway Away in Santa Anita's 70th running of the Grade II, $150,000 San Vicente Stakes while racing seven furlongs in 1:20.34 over a surface termed "wet fast."
On the meet's opening day, Dec. 26, the gray colt named for Bill O'Reilly's top-rated Fox News program, "The O'Reilly Factor," had virtually streaked away from his rivals while breaking his maiden by 8 ¼ lengths and setting a track record of 1:06.98.
But on Sunday, The Factor demonstrated a measure of maturity. With Martin Garcia aboard for the first time in the afternoon, the 9-10 favorite yielded the lead out of the gate to City Cool during a moderate first quarter in 22.20. The Factor took the lead after a quarter mile and controlled the pace down the backside with an accelerated half in a blazing 43.41.
Turning into the stretch with a two-length lead, he discouraged a bid by previously unbeaten Premier Pegasus, already a graded stakes winner. In the end, The Factor gamely resisted the hard-charging finish of 5-2 second choice Sway Away with Garrett Gomez in the saddle.
"He has a lot of speed and I know that horse inside of me (City Cool) had a lot of speed, too," Garcia said in recounting his journey. "I just let him break by himself. The more you fight, the more he's going to take off. He doesn't want to be behind horses, so I just let him be comfortable and he kept going. He is still learning. This is only the third time he has been out. I think the more he runs, the better he will get. And I don't think any horse can keep up with him, as fast as he went."
Baffert, who has saddled the winners of three Kentucky Derbies, and four Santa Anita Derbies, wasn't sure just what might be next for the son of War Front purchased for $250,000 by the Fog City Stable and George Bolton at last May's Barretts 2-year-old-in-training sale.
"One thing about George, he's very patient," said Baffert in reference to Bolton, who named the horse for O'Reilly's show. "He's been in this game a long time and we'll wait for The Factor to tell us when he's ready to jump back into the fray. It's hard to get a horse like this. They don't come around very often."
"He'll benefit from this race," Baffert noted, but would not commit to a next start even though he's on record as saying he would keep The Factor at Santa Anita in the near future. Remaining stakes possibilities include the Grade II, $250,000 San Felipe Stakes at 1 1/16 miles on March 12 and the Grade I, $1 million Santa Anita Derby on April 9.
Sway Away, who also was making his third start on Sunday, rallied from last, 11 lengths behind, to gain the place. They wound up 2 ½ lengths ahead of third-place Premier Pegasus and jockey Alonso Quinonez. "This horse is the best (Kentucky) Derby chance I've had in many years," said Jeff Bonde, who trains Sway Away. "He probably could have used one more work and he maybe got back a little too far today, but he showed me enough that I'm still a believer in him."
The Factor paid $3.80, $2.80 and $2.40. Sway Away paid $3.60 and $2.80. Premier Pegasus returned $3.60 to show. The winner's earnings were elevated to $124,680 with the winning purse of $90,000.
Jockey Joel Rosario, who won a pair of stakes on Saturday, did not ride in the San Vicente, but he was victorious in four other races on Sunday to take a one-win lead over Rafael Bejarano, 49-48, in the meet's jockeys' standings.
Santa Anita presents a special holiday racing program on Monday's Presidents' Day with a nine-race card featuring a pair of graded stakes races: the Grade II Buena Vista Handicap and the Grade III La Habra Stakes. First post is at 12:30 p.m.

US pending home sales rise to highest in 2½ yearsBy CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | December 29,2012WASHINGTON 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.
The National Association of Realtors said Friday that its seasonally adjusted pending home sales index rose 1.7 percent in November from October to 106.4. Thats the highest since April 2010, when a homebuyer tax credit caused a spike in sales. And after excluding those months when the tax credit was available, its the best reading since February 2007.
The increase followed a 5 percent gain in October and suggests higher sales of previously occupied homes in the coming months. Theres generally a one- to two-month lag between a signed contract and a completed sale.
In November, signed contracts to buy homes rose in the Northeast and West, and ticked up slightly in the Midwest. They were unchanged in the South.
Home sales are on track to rise 10 percent this year to their highest level in five years, buoyed by ultra-low mortgage rates and steady job gains. The Realtors group forecasts that sales may rise in 2013 to about 5.1 million. Thats still below the more than 5.5 million that is considered consistent with a healthy market.
The housing recovery that began earlier this year is looking sustainable for a number of reasons. The supply of previously occupied homes for sale has finally thinned out and is at an 11-year low. At the same time, more people are looking to buy or rent a home after living with relatives or friends during and in the aftermath of the Great Recession.
The combination of stronger demand and limited supply is pushing up home prices. That could encourage more sellers to put their homes on the market because they can expect a better price.
Builders are also more optimistic that the recovery will endure and are stepping up construction. The pace of home construction was nearly 22 percent higher in November compared with a year earlier. Builders are on track this year to start work on the most homes in four years.MORE IN National / World BusinessWASHINGTON Average long-term U.S. Full StoryNEW YORK To win the hearts of frequent business travelers, United Airlines is going through...
