Will everyone hate us for our beautiful music?
November 26, 2006
My husband plays saxophone. Should this affect whether we buy a house or a condo? I'm interested in anecdotes from musicians, and also from their neighbors.
We're hoping to become homeowners sometime next summer or fall. It seems like the nicest places we can afford -- in terms of square feet, new construction, great location -- are condos, where we'd have our own home inside a building we share with five or 10 other homeowners.
I've looked at a few standard homeowner covenants for condos, and they prety much include two clauses: one that worries me and one that calms me. It's against the rules to play loud music or do other things that might disturb your neighbors. But it's expected that you'll sometimes hear noises through the floors and walls.
Are we likely to get in trouble with a homeowner association for 1-2 hours of practice most days of the week? My husband only plays between about 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. He's a jazz musician, and he's pretty good in my opinion.
It's important that wherever we live, we are able to be on good terms with our neighbors. But it's also important that my husband be able to practice.
Any thoughts? Are the troubles that come with shared living great enough that we should give up on condos and live in older/crappier/worse neighborhoods in order to buy a house? Or are we likely worrying about nothing?

I live in a building with lots of conservatory students (college level), and I pretty much only hear them practicing when they leave their windows open. (My close neighbors have played flute and piano, so I don't know whether a sax's sound would carry more.) Far more noisy are people above who seem to be stampeding all over their apartment or people playing recorded music (on stereos). It's never been a problem for me.

I don't want to sound judgemental, and I don't know what it's like where you are, but we bought an older house in an older neighbourhood (not "crappier" or "worse") as opposed to a shiny condo. You may find that older neighbourhoods where you have regular contact with neighbours instead of just nodding to someone once in a while in a parking garage are much more conducive to tolerance of music/volume. In our neighbourhood it seems like 4 out of 5 people are musicians or radio or tv people. Our friends on the other side of our paper-thin semi-detatched house wall are musicians and we hear them all the time and them us and it's okay and kind of cool.
I can't imagine being able to play my guitar and record stuff in a condo. Old neighbourhoods rock. Get a cool old house with character.

My boyfriend owns a condo, and plays guitar. He doesn't crank his amps to 11 and keeps to decent hours, but he does play fairly loud; loud enough to make the couch shake in the next room if there's enough bass, and to hear him in the shared hallway. But in his 5+ years of being here, he's only had 1 noise complaint. That was from his neighbor whose bedroom is next to his spare bedroom/music room, and for some reason he was playing loud (and angry) at 1am.
But his condo is extremely well built, and relatively little sound travels from unit to unit. I, on the other hand, have lived in places where when the neighbor's door bell rings, I get up to answer it.
Now, saxes don't quite have the same volume control an amp does, but it can't be that much louder than some loud music, can it? (I played years ago in school, but for the life of me I can't remember how loud it was).
If i was in your position, I'd look at condos as well, but pay very, very close attention to how well the building is built, and how thick and insulated the walls are. In my bf's unit I can definitely hear him playing but it's buffered enough to tune it out and sleep if he's in the spare bedroom and I'm in the master bedroom, with both doors shut (the rooms do not share any walls, however). When house hunting, bring a stereo, crank it up to an approximate volume, and see where and how loud you can hear it.

If I could hear on of my neighbours playing jazz sax for two to three hours a day I'd go completely spare. Then again, I don't like jazz.
The hours of 5pm to 10pm are prime chilling time for pretty much everyone with a job. If you get a condo I think you'd be opening yourself up to potential problems if not now, in the future. I'm pretty mellow about most things neighbourwise (I live next door to a DJ) but there's no way I could deal with that.

In places like condos, you can never tell what the hours may be of your neighbours... there's always that chance that when your husband practices, you could catch the neighbour who works the night shift or just someone on a bad day. My gf live sunderneath an opera singer, which was okay for the most part, but there are times when you want to take a nap on a Saturday afternoon and it's too loud.
I know that there are electronic practice mutes for brass instruments and I did a quick Google search and found
. Perhaps it, or something similar, can be of use to your husband.

says (and he knows from
), don't be too scared away from "bad" neighborhoods, but here's an idea -- have him bring the sax along when you go house/condo hunting and have him lay down a few licks while you scout out nearby locations to see how well the sound travels (the hallway, an upstairs/downstairs unit, across the street, etc.). My one concern would be 9-10pm gets to be past bedtime for people (especially kids). I think the key is to get a ruling from the Condo Association as to what hours are considered noise-acceptable, and see if that works for you. We once lived downstairs from a world-class whistler, and we were kind of sad when he moved out. We also lived downstairs from a shitty electric bass player who liked to practice at 2am. He, we didn't miss so much.
Also, in a densely packed neighborhood, sound could be even more of an issue than in a condo development, so keep that in mind, too.

I'm a jazz musician in Portland and I own an older house in an "affordable" neighborhood. I live next to a professional percussionist and hear him practicing congas loud and clear. He's great, so I don't mind. My other neighbor is a pro jazz guitarist. I don't hear him, but I do hear his daughter practicing piano in the summer when the windows are open.
My point is, buying a house may not solve the noise problem. Either way you go, neighbors may hear you and may be annoyed. Buy either one and be prepared to deal with the noise with sound proofing if you annoy someone.

Growing up with a musician, and living in an apartment complex with one, I would opt for the house. Just because someone isn't making a noise complaint doesn't mean that they don't find it annoying. I'm not saying that everyone will be bothered, but at least with a home, you don't have to worry or wonder. Besides, houses seem to have so much more charm, and those "bad neighborhoods" can actually be a lot more fun, interesting, and sincere. I live in a rundown neighborhood and I wouldn't trade it in for the world.

Musicians are among the finest things we have in the world, but NOT when you have to share a wall/ceiling/floor with one. There are going to be some irritated people in your building, but if they don't complain it's because they don't like confrontation and won't know how your husband might react.
I agree with fshgrl, the evening hours are when people are coming home from a stressful day of sharing cubicle walls with annoying officemates. The last thing they want is to hear a horn while they are trying to relax, watch the news, eat dinner, and bond with the family.
I am hyper-conscious about the noise that comes from my place because I really don't want to bother anyone. It's good that you and your and husband actually realize that there are some people who may not relish hearing a talented jazz musician hone his craft every day.
Many actors like to act, but may hate the fame and publicity that comes with it. That's part of being an actor, though. It was a choice they made. Your husband made the choice to pursue a profession that makes it necessary for him to consider the feelings of others when he works. Every job has its pros and cons. Being limited with regard to where he lives is a con when it comes to his job.
Get a house if you can.

1-2 hours a day, most days?
If I could hear it, that would drive me completely insane and, yes, I would hate you.
Really, for that kind of practice, I think a house would be a much better bet. Preferably one with sturdy interior walls to block the sound.

I appreciate the comments.
Just to clarify: by "bad" neighborhood, I'm not saying I'm worried about crime or anything. We just want access to public transportation and grocery stores, and maybe a couple of walkable places to eat. I love city living.
It sounds like we should definitely rule out any older condo buildings, where sound is more likely to carry. If we fall in love with newer condos, maybe my husband can play his sax in one unit while I listen in another to get a feel for whether the sound travels significantly.
nonmyopicdave: Your neighborhood sounds ideal. What part of town are you in?

I've practiced my oboe in my (solid block) condo for 6 years and have never had a complaint. FWIW, the only noise I ever hear from my neighrbors is water in the pipes and footsteps. Noise dampening is pretty damn good in the place -- my upstairs neighbors have guests over nightly and I seldom hear them.
I try to limit my pratice sessions to hours before 5pm, when my neighbors are most likely to be out. My studio is on the ground floor and in the center of my condo, so it doesn't border any neighbor's walls. If I need to record/do ensemble work, I just go to someone's house or the union hall. I try to be a good neightbor. It's hard when I need to make reeds at 2am -- I just suck it up, do what I can in silence, and wake up early the next day to wrap things up when I'm allowed to make noise again.
I've seen single-person sound booths before (but haven't actually given one a test run). Maybe that would be something different to consider. Another option is to investigate the local music union and see if they have a practice area.

60th and Glisan
. We are on the Max line, and next to a Freddies, but don't have a lot of walkable eateries. Just Biddies Irish pub, a tiny greek pizza place, and a Mexican restaurant at which I eat weekly.
In my comment I said our neighborhood was "affordable." The quotes reflect the relative price of homes in this insane market.

I'm a trombonist. I hate having to practice in my apartment, mostly because everyone sees a trombone, and assumes, "omg, that's that instrument that the guy plays in American Pie - it's really, really, really loud. I hope he doesn't practice near me". Sometimes I use a practice mute, which is less than ideal, and of course they do not work for a saxophone.
So from my anecdotal response: yes, buy a house. Plus, if your husband ever wants to teach some private lessons out of the home, the extra space can be really nice. I'm a student, and practice mostly in the practice rooms at my school, but if I had a small house I would be more inclined to practice there.
(Incidentally, if you happened to be next to me in a condo, I would love hearing jazz licks from 5pm-10pm every night, but I may not be most people).

I live in Glasgow, Scotland where most of the older style tenements have walls a foot or so thick. They are really sturdy and are sound proofed against most things. However, in my last place, I had a pianist staying downstairs. At first it was charming, after about three days I hated her. I am not sure my behaviour was strictly rational but then why should it be? It is interfering with other people's lives in a way that people should not need to expect. Hearing someone play music occasionally is one thing, being forced to listen to it every day (often practising the same infuriating bit) is something else. Another thing is that jazz music is as divisive a musical style as any. Some people love it for others its nails down a blackboard thing.
I am sorry if I sound a bit mean but having lived with a musician in close proximity after a short while the bohemian artsy type just becomes the annoying wanker with no consideration for anyone else. I know at least two of my neighbours felt the same way.
I would suggest a house.

Buy a house. You'll have less interference from the neighborhood conform-or-die society trying to protect their bloody investments in their crappy condos, and you'll have more freedom in soundproofing a practice room so well that no one (including you) will be bothered by your husband's midnight sax blats. Such a room also would let him be freer about when and how he plays.
Maybe get a place with a room the right size plus a little more, then build a room within a room, with sound insulation separating them, and two sound-insulated doors separating that room from the rest of the house. A place with a large basement would be cool, especially if the basement had a (soundproofed) door directly to the outside, which would make the practice space better for an entire band (if he forms or joins one) and maybe even rentable to other people who need a practice space.
Also, a room good for loud sax can also be good for loud sex.

Sad as I am to say it, I think that if the sound of the saxaphone travels to other apartments, you will probably get complaints.
This is one of the facets of society/people that I just do not get. Why are people so incensed by the sound of others pursuing their interests? Can't sleep because of the saxophonist? Get some earplugs or put on some soothing music to lull you to sleep and block the noise.

Some observations from my family: I play the drums, while my younger brother plays the saxophone. I don't play with practice silencer pads, but with my bedroom door and window shut, the noise doesn't travel through the house very much. I find that you can hear the bass and snare a little. On the other hand, for some reason, even with his windows and door closed, the sax comes through the house fairly solidly. I'm not sure why this happens. Basically, if you personally would have a problem with someone bashing on a drum kit for a couple of hours each day in a condo setting, go for a house.

While this first part is somewhat unrelated to the direct question about music/noise, it's still relevant to the spirit of your whole question:
If you have or are planning to have a dog sometime in the future (or kids, for that matter), perhaps that would be another factor that influences you toward a house. A houes with a fenced in yard is heaven for a dog - a condo is usually not (though there are some breeds that do just fine).
As for the music part:
Don't live somewhere you don't want to live, though. If you want a condo in a nicer neighborhood, just make sure that the walls are nice and thick, and that he keeps to certain hours that won't bother people. While there may be some who get annoyed by someone practicing, musicians practicing is a reality of life. By living in a condo, just like living in an apartment, the other residents are choosing to share close quarters with other people and therefore hear their noise occasionally. As long as it isn't totally out of hand loud or at a late hour keeping people awake, they have no real grounds to complain.
He'll just have to be polite about the noise if someone complains and maybe practice with a mute, offer to practice different hours, or maybe move to a different room in your condo. If that's not enough, then the problem is your new neighbor, not your choice to live in a condo.
Best of luck whichever you choose!

I think that saxophone playing does fall under "loud music" and that "some noise is to be expected" means that sometimes neighbours will have a party, babies will cry at night and in general, it is irrational to assume complete quietness in a condo.

If you're going to live in a condo, you should absolutely meet the neighbors who share walls/floors/ceiling with the practice room and talk to them about it so as to set up reasonable expectations and responses. Then I would see about sound-insulating the shared walls as best you can. A heavy carpet and drapes are a good start, but you might consider making the room look/feel more like a recording studio (fire-proof egg-foam, etc).
I play trumpet and found it hard to practice and keep the peace. I used practice mutes when the sun went down as a general rule, but I've yet to see a viable practice rig for a sax. For the most part, I tried to keep open communication and to be considerate.
A house is definitely easier to hide in.

A woman I know who just bought a condo asked to have someone stomp around the condo above hers to see how much she could hear, before she signed the purchase and sales agreement. If you
find a condo you dig, maybe you could do something similar with the saxophone.
I live in a condo in a brick building built in the 1950s and I can hear the woman across the hall talking in her kitchen and the guy upstairs watch tv. When I lived in a building built in the 1920s I never heard one thing, barely even footsteps. So it definitely depends on the construction.

1--2 hours every day right when people are trying to eat dinner and talk to each other and relax = everyone hates you. This will be especially true for saxophones, which seem to have only one volume level: apocalyptically wake-the-dead loud. A sax counts as a very loud stereo, not as a normal noise you might have to expect to hear occasionally. Likewise, every day for two hours is pretty fucking far from "occasionally."
All of this is triply true for practice, which probably means playing scales or whatnot and/or playing the same damn piece over and over and over instead of playing a variety of tunes that people might actually enjoy hearing.
It sounds like we should definitely rule out any older condo buildings, where sound is more likely to carry.
I think you have this backwards. Old buildings are likely to have solid walls, while newer ones might be just sheetrock over steel studs with lots of lovely air spaces to resonate with every note.
He'd make a lot more friends if he took time at lunch to come home and practice while most people are at work, or if you just got a cheaper condo and rented some shared studio space somewhere else.

There are probably a pile of threads on here outlining why, in general, a house is often a better bet than a condo (whether you're noisy or not) but I think musicians just do better in a house....I am a sax player, and frankly, just the thought that I could be disturbing someone distracts the crap out of me when i practice. I'll be playing through something, then I 'll think I heard a knock, or a neighbor angrily banging on a wall or floor, and I'll lose my concentration, stop to listen and realize it's nothing, then repeat the process 15 minutes later. Or, if you do get a complaint, or a neighbor that comes knocking, then how can you really practice after that, knowing that at any moment another complaint could be on the way. And I know one post said the sax is loud all the time, but of course most sax players know dynamics are key to a sax like. I don't want to always play very quietly if I"m practicing. I want to play loud when it's time to play loud, and very very loud when appropriate, and quiet when it's supposed to be quiet. Stiffling dynamics and volume for fear of complaints is no way to practice effectively.
These points aside, I think musicians just do better in houses. Say another player wants to come over to work on a part and bring his guitar, or congas or whatever, you can do that in a house, not in a condo as much.
If you insist on the condo option, I'd approach the board directly and describe what you're intending to do, and get some sort of written permission that it's OK before buying. Think of how detrimental it would be to not be able to practice!
I recently purchased a house in an "OK" neighborhood, though one that many of my peers wouldn't live in. After a few weeks I feel much happier than I think I would have if i purchased a condo, and I always know i can play my sax or my stereo as loud as I want to....

Well, I don't get to use one of those stupid IANA abbreviations.
I am a saxophonist. I've also lived or practiced in (depending on the girlfriend) houses, attached houses and apartments equivalent to the type of condo you describe.
Your husband is going to royally piss off your neighbours in a condo because the saxophone is impossible to practice pianissimo at all times. The sound carries through any material, including cinder blocks and reinforced concrete. I don't know why, but it does.
I've never met a muting product for a saxophone which works. The construction of the saxophone with open keys all along the tube and the necessity for having the bell mostly open to produce the right intonation and even pitch pretty much mean the saxophone is going to be depressing to play and your neighbours are still going to be angry with you.
Your best realistic bet is to purchase a house, as someone above said. Depending on where he is in the house and how it's constructed, he can probably be heard on the street, but generally won't be heard in your neighbours' homes.
Depending on the condo (and here I'm really guessing) you may be able to do some remodeling. In this case a study with a soundproofed practice booth in it may be possible, but I don't think that's likely and will add a few grand to your investment.
Now, you live in Portland, Oregon. Portland's an art town with a vibrant music scene, so I would imagine there may be co-ops and condos catering specifically to musicians. I'm not sure what this would do to
sanity, but I would suggest looking around for one.
Barring any of this, there are a ton of colleges and universities in the area. Your husband may be able to get permission to use practice rooms at one, or take a continuing ed class of interest to him in order to get access to the practice rooms. Or, best of all, offer lessons as an adjunct professor with a university, earn some money on the side, and get access to a practice space that way.

Update, a year later: We bought a condo, and it turns out our elderly next-door neighbor claims she that can't hear anything with the windows closed and that she really likes jazz anyways and doesn't mind. So yay!

You know the scene. It's a fluorescent-lit room filled with cubicle pods or rows with employees multitasking all day long, typing on keyboards while on a conference call, and sneaking in quick frequent checks of text messages or emails on their smartphones always within reach.
With no down time for a real meal, employees grab a quick fast-food, or vending-machine lunch at their desks, lest they lose any precious productivity.
Technology has no doubt made our lives easier in countless ways, but many studies have shown it also has led to greater stress and often unhealthier lifestyles.
Even after we leave the office, we remain tethered to our devices. We sit on our couches working, or playing, on our tablets, and laptops and smartphones, often times while also watching television.
Sitting for hours on end has resulted in serious health risks.
Just last month, the Harvard Business Review gained notice in the news and social media for an article titled, "Sitting is the Smoking of Our Generation."
Isn't this a bit dramatic? The experts say no.
"There is no doubt we have seen an increase in sedentary-related health issues," said Sarah Jensen, chief clinical officer with Accelerated Rehabilitation Centers, which operates in eight states and has local offices in Naperville, Aurora, Batavia, Bolingbrook and Oswego.
In fact, the health problems caused from our sedentary lifestyles are leading to more deaths than those directly linked to tobacco use, according to research cited by the Harvard Business Review article.
"You might already know that the death rate associated with obesity in the U.S. is now 35 million. But do you know what it is in relationship to tobacco? Just 3.5 million," the article stated.
A 14-year study of more than 120,000 middle-aged adults showed the mortality rates of those who spent six hours a day or more sitting compared to those who reported three or fewer hours, was linked to a 34 percent higher mortality rate for women and 17 percent higher for men over those 14 years, according to the American Cancer Society.
Setting aside the more serious health risks, looking at computer screens and mobile devices all day — and evening — long is causing a myriad of physical injuries.
"Most people don't correlate sitting in a chair as creating injury or health problems, but we see a lot of them," said Jensen, a 14-year practicing physical therapist.
Many of the more common conditions she sees are carpal tunnel in the hands and wrists, elbow tendonitis, "lots of neck and shoulder tightness," lower back pain, overall joint stiffness and pain, disc issues and even rotator cuff. Much of these conditions are connected and can be sourced to one central problem.
"Sitting at a desk and looking at computer screens for any length of time each day can lead to poor posture, and more often than not it is slouching forward," she said. " If we can correct (a person's) sitting posture that can often bring everything else into alignment."
When a client comes to one of Accelerated Rehabilitation Centers, the physical therapist will do an analysis of how the person sits at his desk. The therapist will then show the client how to make simple corrections to their work space that will help them over time.
Some of that is examining the angle of their computer screen.
"We tend to look either too far down or too far up, causing strain on our necks," Jensen said.
Ideally, it should be set so that our eyes are looking at the upper two-thirds of the screen.
Then lumbar support is addressed and the client is encouraged to use what is called a lumbar roll in their chair, starting smaller and then building it to a larger size over time.
"A lot of these fixes are not expensive," Jensen said. "We have showed some clients that they can even use a towel rolled up with duct tape, And that can easily be portable."
Once clients are done with their consult, and therapy, they are given an exercise program to do at home, but the key for continued recovery can be a simple one.
"Every hour get up, even just for a few minutes and stand up," she said, and do what are called reversal of posture exercises. These involve gently bending backwards, rotating of the head and rolling the shoulders.
But when we're swamped with work, time can easily fly by, and we forget to take breaks. Jensen and the staff therapists encourage clients to post a reminder note on their screens, or set an alert to pop up on screen, or simply set a timer on their smartphone. Then, leave the smartphone on the desk during the break.
"Because people are so attached to their mobile devices, we tend to use them to communicate even when we get up to walk. We're texting or sending out emails," she said. "Instead, get up and go talk to (co-workers)."
Taking an electronic-free walk and break is much needed not just for purely physical reasons, but to clear our minds and reconnect with our co-workers. This can be a great de-stresser, Jensen said, which has residual positive effects on our bodies. A walking meeting is a mobile meeting of a different kind.
Companies that want to address wellness with their employees can consult with Accelerated Rehabilitation Centers, which does perform onsite ergonomic consultations for companies and training.

My story is very
similar as well. I found myself saying..."that's me too" and "that's just how I feel"..and so on while I was reading. I just came around back in October and I still haven't even read any of his books yet. I wrote a 2 1/2 page letter with links to some of the videos and speeches. I sent it to all my family, friends and clients even. I got a good response back from a few. I donated money, got the signs. I won't take the one off my car even though we are past voting here in Florida. I don't think it will ever come off. I agree once you get it, I sometimes get more frustrated that others haven't and I have to remind myself who I was just a short time ago. So I take a deep breath and just continue to plant the seeds.

A celebration of nature's spectacular light shows, and a visual feast documenting the kaleidoscopic colors that decorate the sky.
For millennia, humans have been fascinated with the ghostly green and red curtains of light that shimmer across the heavens on dark, clear nights. Ancient peoples saw these displays as souls of the dead, the torches of the spirits and as harbingers of war. Barely 100 years ago, scientists finally learned that an aurora is created when the Earth's magnetic field is bombarded with charged particles from the sun. When the charged particles collide with oxygen in the atmosphere, auroras with yellows, greens and reds appear. Collisions with nitrogen result in bluish colors. However, our understanding of the physics behind auroras has not detracted from their wonder.
Auroras is filled with 80 photographs of one of nature's greatest spectacles, complete with captions that reflect on the folklore, science and beauty of the northern lights. The book poses and answers the many scientific questions about auroras:
Auroras is where cutting-edge science meets the stuff of dreams.
Dan Bortolotti is a writer and editor whose work has appeared in many magazines, including Equinox,/i>, Canadian Geographic and OWL. He is the author of Exploring Saturn.
Photographer and videographer Yuichi Takasaka emigrated from Japan more than 20 years ago in order to photograph wildlife in Canada's many national and provincial parks and World Heritage Sites.

Dr. S. DANIEL Samadi's Ratings
the office does not see patient at the appointed time. Almost every visit, I had to wait an hour beyond my appointment to be seen. They do not help patient with insurance claims. I had to pay first and do all the work to claim insurance. The office do not return emails.

Don't confuse what you "think" is arrogance with knowledgeable and confident. Dr Daniel Samadi is a compassionate and understanding doctor who is also very professional. He is TOPS my children are very comfortable with him and he proformed surgery on my daughter with skilled caring hands. He is very thorough in his explaination and will explain numerous times if need be. I would not hesitate recommending Dr Samadi to anyone and would use him again and again if need be. Thank you to a TOP doctor and his staff for treating us like his only patient !

Fantastic, knowledgeable, thorough and careful doctor. I came to Dr. Samadi for a second opinion and was so happy I did. He took his time explaining and discussing options, offered his professional and personal (I asked) opinion, and was supportive of the decisions I made. My son had a tongue tie and I debated on whether to get it snipped right away, or wait. Dr. Samadi was very caring after the procedure and even called us later that evening at home just to check on my son. I would recommend him to anyone. The offices and waiting room were also very clean and kid friendly.

I don't understand the negative comments, yes, he is very serious but he's the most knowledgable doctor you can think of, he does all the testing right there in one appointment and he doesn't choose surgery as the first option, he always likes to try treatment first. We've been going to see him for 7 years now and the new office is spacious, waiting time has improved and he can also help with hearing aids. He answers email and after hours phone calls right away, I don't know what else someone could ask for.

Worst Doctors office visit experience ever. The most rude, arrogant, unhelpful staff and Doctor.
Submitted Feb. 24, 2014 | flag
While Dr. Samadi may come off initially like a good physician, his rude and uncooperative office staff, as well as Dr. Samadi's apathy and "oh really?, I don't get involved" attitude when it comes to them, is enough to seek out a different doctor altogether. The office staff makes billing a migraine, making an appointment a chore, and forget about reimbursement, that becomes a months-long ordeal that in this case, led to threats of police involvement due to our following up one too many times to get our money back....in short, there's a scam going on there, the office steals your money to the point where even insurance companies are surprised, and makes any retribution an impossible task. Rumor has it that he's no longer affiliated with Hackensack Medical Center due to the way he conducts business. I would seek out another doctor! If you're on the fence, trust me, it's not worth it. They don't take secondary insurance, demand copay up front, and you'll never get your money back.

What do you want in a doctor - a doctor that is an expert but has no social skills OR a doctor that is mediocre with good skills. Dont go to this doctor if you want a warm/caring doctor, your not going to get it. His office is always late, usually we spend 30+ minutes waiting after scheduled appointment.
Submitted Sept. 12, 2013 | flag
Dr Daniel Samadi has been an excellent doctor to both my children. I met him when My son Matthew had to have the following procedures. A tonsilectomy, adenoidectomy and insertion of tubes in his ears. I cannot begin to tell you how good and thorough this doctor is. Although sometimes his office is busy and I have to wait. I do not mind. He is more than worth the wait. He is a dedicated caring doctor who's very attentive and his genuine main concern is to keep kids healthy and feeling well. My son's problem could of turned to serious one had it not been for the doctor's assessment and careful diagnosis of the problem. I am very confident that he took the proper steps to make it right for my son. If you want a caring , knowledgeable, and Highly Skilled doctor then Dan is your man. He is also very detailed in the decision making as to how to proceed with a plan for your pertinent procedure. He is my doctor of choice. In conclusion, I believe that Dr Samadi is a great ENT.

I took my son to this office and Dr. Samadi was not approachable, caring, and he definitely did not make me happy with our visit. Not only did He shut me up when I was trying to calm my son down from screaming while he pinned him down for the endoscopy he also told me to never try to compromise with a three year old. I think that was rude and it was not his place to tell me what to do while my son was blue of crying. He also said he needed surgery and after I ran out of there from our horrible experience, I went to Another ENT and of course, he did not need surgery. This doctor should not be a Children's doctor. knowledgable or not, he should not take care of kids AT ALL! would not recommend to mommy friends

Just as winterbound humans head for tropical spas to get away from the cold, killer whales living off the coast of Antarctica sometimes take a break from their frigid home waters. The first satellite tagging of these 6-meter-long cetaceans at the southern tip of the globe has revealed that all five whales whose tags lasted more than 3 weeks left their normal 2°C waters and headed east of the Falkland Islands to 20°C seas off Uruguay and Brazil. One whale completed a 9400-kilometer roundtrip in 42 days. The whales swam at an ever slower rate the farther north they got, yet they never really slowed down to the speeds they swim at when hunting or taking care of young, suggesting that these trips were not for foraging or reproduction as is typical for whale migrations. Instead, the researchers suggest online today in Biology Letters, the whales go to warmer waters to rejuvenate their skin—something they can't afford to do in colder waters because the process draws warm blood away from their interiors. Seals solve the problem by climbing onto land to molt, but killer whales, lacking that ability, may need to take a trip to the spa.

|Okay, so I have a 90 degree bend in my galvanized plumbing. I'd like to replace that with a T and branch a new line from there. I can't unscrew one pipe because it would just tighten at the other end, right? And if I can just magically remove the 90 bend (saw through it?), I'd have the same problem screwing the pipes back into a T, right? I'm not interested in replacing the whole run with copper.
What's the easiest way to do this?
Follow-Up Postings:
|Cut it and unthread back to the nearest fitting and use pipe/nipples along with a union to reassemble
|How old is the galvanized?
I would remove as much of the galvanized as needed and replace it with something else.

Here are the Maple Bedside tables that I built. I used the plan from Wood Magazine Nov 2008. My wife bought me the plan here. I made a few changes. I built one deep drawer instead of two shallow drawers and I made the top a bit smaller. I also used pocket screws instead of mortise and tenon construction. I did this to speed up the building process. I Had to get the tables done before winter set in. This was my first time laminating material for legs. Kind of a pain. Next time I would make a trip to the hardwood dealer for thicker material. The finish is Tried And True Varnish Oil. The tables match my dresser and mirror that I also completed this summer. I found a nice matching bed frame in a local furniture store that I will use as inspiration for my next project. I have to build some other odds and ends to complete my bedroom set. I have really enjoyed getting back in the shop this year. It was a very productive summer by my standards.

Samsung is the still the king of the U.S. smartphone marketing race, but the Korean giant's rivals closed its huge lead with an advertising blitz in 2013.
All told, seven of the top U.S. smartphone makers spent a tad over $1.3 billion last year on ads across TV, print, online, radio and outdoor venues, up 33% from 2012 spending of about $1 billion, according to ad research and consulting firm Kantar Media.
Brian Wallace's marketing career has taken him through some of the biggest names in technology, from Blackberry to Samsung to Google. Now he's heading to a company whose mission sounds like the stuff of science fiction.

"Give more, get more" - Have we overreacted to the Prosperity Gospel?
Firstly it's difficult if not impossible to critique a sermon based on its title (a derivation of "you can't judge a book by its cover")
The title reminds me of the title of a definitive book on gun control entitled "More Guns Less Crime" which on the surface sounds like if you dumped a load of handguns on the street in a high crime area that the murder rate will go down.
Certainly God blesses His people (Ephesians 1:3). And just as certainly there are trials many of which lead to pain, suffering and death.
The prosperity gospel basically makes material blessings paramount and teaches a tight correlation between what is given and those self-same material blessings.
Were I to teach on giving I would emphasize the points of:
- Responsibility & duty (2 Corinthians 9:7)
- That there is a link between commitment and generosity (2 Corinthians 8:5)
- AND I would offer no direct link between material blessings and the amount given.
The author wrote:
Throughout the Old Testament we are told that God rewards faith that expresses itself in generosity. In Deut 15:10, which speaks about taking financial care of your disadvantaged brother in the Lord, Scripture tells us to "give generously to him and do so without a grudging heart." But it is the next phrase that should catch our attention, "...then because of this the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to."
Did you catch that? God promised to bless the common, average Israelite citizen with material blessing and success at their employment, investments, and endeavors if they lived a lifestyle of generosity.
Silly me. I thought the Mosaic Covenant was conditional, in that if Israel obeyed the Law out of a pure heart and love for God, He would bless them materially in the land He promised them as they lived as a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.
Silly me, I thought the Mosaic Covenant, where God's Law was written on tablets of stone, was superseded and dissolved by a New Covenant, written on the fleshly tablets of our hearts.
Silly me, I thought that meant that we shouldn't look for blessings from a conditional covenant:
- Written only to Israelites
- Written only for Israelites
- Written to govern their earthly theocratic kingdom
- Which covenant has now been dissolved by a new and better covenant
to govern our lives today, as we:
- Are not Israelites
- Are not living in an earthly theocratic kingdom
- Are not living under the conditions and terms of the conditional, Mosaic Covenant
People make the same mistake when they pull OT verses commanding Israel's corporate repentance and apply them to America.
Silly me, I thought context mattered when citing a verse from Scripture. I suppose not. There is a greater hermeneutical issue at the core of the author's problem. In the end, he agrees that "give more, get more" is correct. He wishes to avoid the extremes that (1) that God doesn't bless, or (2) that all He does is bless.
I believe it is dangerous to suggest that if we give, we'll get more from God. The motivation of Christian charity is to glorify God, who provided a Savior for us. It is not to "get more." I am not suggesting the author advocates this. I'm just saying his case is presented very poorly. Who on earth would encourage tithing for selfish reasons!? That is dangerous and misguided theology! No matter how nuanced the matter may be in the Pastor's mind, it will not come across that way to the congregation. The Deacons of the church were right to cry foul on that message.
Silly Tyler!
No. We haven't. These word of faith preachers prey on the most helpless, desperate and vulnerable. They ask widows to send in what little they have left so that by taking their money these frauds can afford to live in lavish homes, fly around in their jets and stay in expensive hotels.
Proverbs 3:5-10 (KJV)
5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.
9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.
Is that just written to Israelites in their theocratic kingdom?
Give a $5 spot and kiss it goodbye...God has no interest in your finances! Be blessed brother...
who battles the Prosperity Gospel preached a series from 2 Corinthians 8 and 9 on Biblical views on money where he makes it clear that God blesses (including...GASP...financially) those that give to His kingdom
The first sermon is here:
The sermons are The Biblical View of Money Pts 1-4, and A Biblical Model For Giving Pts 1-4
And here is a link to MacArthur's sermon "Abusing the Poor"
Here is one of the concluding paragraphs in MacArthur's sermon Abusing the Poor:
"So I say, woe to you who sell your miracle water and your miracle cloths that promise to heal the desperate if they send you their money. Woe to you wealthy self-indulgent preachers who become rich on the backs of the lonely poor, disillusioned diseased and desperate who are told to give you their money as an act of faith so that God is obligated to make them healthy and wealthy. Woe to you who indulge in ten thousand dollar a night hotel rooms, claim revelations from God, spend 112 thousand dollars a month on your private jet with money taken from the most desperate people. Woe to you, you will not escape judgment."
Obviously a person who deceives the flock to give and then uses it as ill-gotten gains is evil. That is not the point of this thread.
The point of it is the question "does the Bible teach that a person who gives to the Lord financially is blessed in some fashion financially?"
There's a difference between saying God can and God does. The Bible never promises the NT believer financial reward for giving to God.
I take serious issue with the title of the message in question, namely - "Give More, Get More."
It is a serious mistake to motivate a Christian to tithe in expectation of receiving financial blessings. We ought to give back gratefully a portion of the blessings God has given us. Our motivation should not be to "get more." Our motivation ought to be to glorify and praise our Savior. The title of this message is very ill-conceived and sub-Biblical, hence the outcry.
The thread topic is labeled "'Give more, get more' - Have we overreacted to the Prosperity Gospel?" So sorry that I thought it was about "does the Bible teach that a person who gives to the Lord financially is blessed in some fashion financially?" I took the title at face value and assumed it was about the Prosperity Gospel and whether or not we overreacted to it. The prosperity gospel teaches that if you give more, you get more. The purpose for giving is to get a larger return. That is unbiblical. So my answer was No. We have not overreacted to the Prosperity Gospel.
The linked article is about "does the Bible talk about financial blessing for giving?"
If you want to ignore that and blast Joel Osteen a few more times, have fun.
The name of the linked article is "Uncomfortable Blessings"
Does anyone even read the articles...or just rant at the thread titles?
The author of the article is writing about a sermon his friend did. The title of his friend's sermon is "Give More, Get More:"
He had preached a sermon on giving and the blessings that come from the Lord when we give generously. He titled his message, "Give more, get more".
"Uncomfortable Blessings" is the title of the author's piece (linked above), wherein he takes a middle position between his friend's "Give More, Get More" and the folks like me who say that message is ridiculous.
My point is that the man's congregation was right to criticize their Pastor for such a ridiculous message.
I read the article. I didn't comment on the article's blog, I commented here, where the question was about the Prosperity Gospel. I have not up to this point mentioned Joel Osteen by name. If you wish me to, I certainly can. Osteen is one who is willing to embrace Mormons as Christians, and he spoke about his experience in India and affirmed that they loved God.
Everything below is from John MacArthur's commentary on 2 Corinthians 9:8:
"While it is possible to give without loving, it is not possible to love without giving. God gives His Son to all believers, but as previously noted, He blesses in a unique way generous, cheerful givers. In fact, He blesses such believers on such a grand, immense, staggering scale that it beggars language to express it. Trying to convey the magnanimity of God's generosity, Paul resorted to hyperbole, using a form of the word pas (all) five times in verse 8. God's gracious giving has no limits; it is off the scale.
Since giving naturally seems to result in having less, not more, it takes faith to believe that giving will open up God's blessing. Christians must believe that what God has promised to do He is able to do. Dunateō (is able) literally means "has power." God's power is great (Deut. 4:37; 9:29; Neh. 1:10; Pss. 66:3; 79:11; Jer. 32:17; Nah. 1:3; Rev. 11:17) and is exhibited in creation, providence, miracles, salvation, the resurrections of Jesus Christ and believers, and in the eternal destruction of the wicked in hell. Not surprisingly, then, Paul expressed his concern "that [the Corinthians'] faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God" (1 Cor. 2:5).
Human wisdom teaches that prosperity comes from grasping for wealth, not from giving it away. But faith trusts in God's promise to bless the giver and in His ability to keep His promises, knowing that He is able to "do exceeding abundantly beyond all that [believers] ask or think" (Eph. 3:20), guard and preserve them (2 Tim. 1:12; Heb. 7:25; Jude 24), help them when they are tempted (Heb. 2:18), and raise them from the dead (Heb. 11:19). Believers, like Abraham, must be "fully assured that what God [has] promised, He [is] able also to perform" (Rom. 4:21).
God gives back magnanimously so as to make all grace abound to Christians who give generously. He gives so freely and abundantly that His children will always have all sufficiency in everything. In this context, that refers primarily to material resources, because the harvest must be of the same nature as the seed. Having sown material wealth by their giving, believers will reap an abundant harvest of material blessing in return. God graciously replenishes what they give so that they lack nothing; He will continuously provide the generous giver with the means of further expressing that generosity.
To the Cynic and Stoic philosophers of Paul's day autarkeia (sufficiency) meant independence from people and circumstances. They viewed such independence as essential to true happiness. But the believer's sufficiency does not come from independence from circumstances but rather from dependence on God. As Paul wrote to the Philippians, "My God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus" (Phil. 4:19).
The reason God gives back to those who give is not, as prosperity teachers falsely imply and exemplify, so people can consume it on their own desires with bigger cars, homes, and jewels. God supplies them so they will have an abundance for every good deed. The Lord will fully supply cheerful givers with what they need to use for what is good work to the honor of the Lord. He constantly replenishes what they expend so the cycle of giving and ministering to others can continue. Generous givers are the people whose lives are most full of righteous deeds.
Lest anyone think this was some radical new social welfare plan he had concocted, Paul cited Psalm 112:9 to show this has always been God's plan. The phrase as it is written is the standard New Testament way of introducing an Old Testament quote (Mark 1:2; 7:6; Luke 2:23; 3:4; John 6:31; 12:14-15; Acts 7:42; 15:15; Rom. 1:17; 2:24; 3:4, 10; 4:17; 8:36; 9:13, 33; 10:15; 11:8, 26; 15:3, 9, 21; 1 Cor. 1:31; 2:9; 10:7). Because the generous giver scatter[s] abroad and gives to the poor, his righteousness endures forever. God will replenish and reward him both in time and eternity.
Deuteronomy 15:10-11 also illustrates this point. In verse 10 God declared through Moses, "You shall generously give to [the poor man], and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him, because for this thing the Lord your God will bless you in all your work and in all your undertakings." Those who were generous to the needy received God's material blessings. But the purpose was not so that they could be like the rich fool in Jesus' parable, who said, "This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, 'Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry'" (Luke 12:18-19). Verse 11 reveals the purpose of God's blessing. Moses reminded his hearers that "the poor will never cease to be in the land; therefore I command you, saying, 'You shall freely open your hand to your brother, to your needy and poor in your land.'" God's constant resupply allowed them to continually give to meet the needs of others.
Paul reinforced his point with a third Old Testament quote, this one from Isaiah 55:10. That generous giving will impoverish no one is evident since He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply their seed for sowing. God is the One who supplies seed to the sower because He created all the earth's vegetation (Gen. 1:11-12). Thus He provides the grain that provides bread for food. The same God who provides seed for the harvest in the natural world will multiply generous givers' seed for sowing. They sow the seed and then reap the harvest, which in turn provides more seed for sowing in an ever-expanding cycle. The ultimate harvest of generous giving is not only eternal reward, but also temporal blessing in this life for those who "sow with a view to righteousness, [and] reap in accordance with kindness" (Hos. 10:12). They will be enriched in everything, equipping them for all liberality in their giving."
MacArthur New Testament Commentary, The - MacArthur New Testament Commentary – 2 Corinthians.
You can't see the difference between what you quoted from MacArthur and those who say give to get?
The person described by MacArthur is never going to be wealthy. If he ever did start to hoard the abundance, stop the flow through his own hands, the spigot would be closed. He's not giving to get, he's simply giving, and giving, and giving. He is passing along with no thought of getting, no plan or intention of getting. Anything that comes along, whether great or small, is sent back out again, dispersed to accomplish God's good work. Notice these lines from your quote:
Having sown material wealth by their giving, believers will reap an abundant harvest of material blessing in return. God graciously replenishes what they give so that they lack nothing; He will continuously provide the generous giver with the means of further expressing that generosity.
The reason God gives back to those who give is not, as prosperity teachers falsely imply and exemplify, so people can consume it on their own desires with bigger cars, homes, and jewels. God supplies them so they will have an abundance for every good deed. The Lord will fully supply cheerful givers with what they need to use for what is good work to the honor of the Lord. He constantly replenishes what they expend so the cycle of giving and ministering to others can continue. Generous givers are the people whose lives are most full of righteous deeds.
The ultimate harvest of generous giving is not only eternal reward, but also temporal blessing in this life for those who "sow with a view to righteousness, [and] reap in accordance with kindness" (Hos. 10:12). They will be enriched in everything, equipping them for all liberality in their giving.
This is giving, but is not getting, not accumulating. At any given time he has what is needed and a limited surplus to continue using in God's service. It goes out as fast as it comes in.
I think there's a big difference between what WE HUMANS perceive as "blessings" and what God perceives as blessings. To quote Obi Wan Kenobi, "So what I told you was true, from a certain point of view."
Case in point, my cousin posted a photo of her fortune from a fortune cookie that said, "You will inherit some money or a small piece of land." I told her that means someone you know or are related to is about to die. Because that's how inheritance works. She thought the fortune was a "blessing" (yaay! I get good things!) when it actually could be a curse (my mom died!). Thankfully it's just a fortune cookie fortune, so no worries, but it makes my point.
Blessings from God do not always appear as such to us. In Acts 5:41 the apostles were happy about the persecution they had received from the Sanhedrin. So yes, I believe that if we exercise our faith in God, good things will result in our lives that would not otherwise have happened. Does this mean that the more money we give the church, the more money God will give us? Nope. It means that God doesn't think in terms of only money. The more money we give the church, the greater work the church can do for Christ, and because of our participation in that work, we can receive blessings both here and in heaven because of the money we have invested in God's work.

It grabs you like a thriller with an ending that will haunt your dreams.
Just because truths are inconvenient is no reason to suppose they are not real.
It is utterly convincing, it's emotionally powerful and it makes Gore look more charming than he ever did as a presidential candidate.
The film succeeds powerfully, even though it's short on practical solutions, makes some questionable statements of fact and, given Gore's current ambiguous position in public life, requires a tighter focus on the message than on the messenger.
Frightening and timely, the smartly organized documentary is an urgent plea for responsibility and action as well as an impassioned call to heed the ominous warnings of science.
Netflix puts this Oscar winning documentary out again for those who spent the past seven years listening to paid-off-deniers and assorted other Fox News liars.
Those attacking Al Gore as a misinformed prophet or political crybaby likely never watched the film. Holding court with genial wit and warmth, Gore emphasizes his slide content's morals and ethics over its politics and ends on practicality, not panic.
An adequate enough way to get the point across, but I can't help but wonder what the raves for this film are really about.
Gore gets admirable points for using intelligence in his arguments rather than fear
Gone is the excruciatingly wooden, heavily-made up candidate from the controversial 2000 Presidential election. In his place, the team from An Inconvenient Truth shows you the Gore democrats wish the voting public had seen%u2014a comfortable, enthusiastic
While the preaching is to the converted, the sheer organization, massing and clarity appear conclusive, and the youngish onscreen attendees nod in agreement.
Al Gore's global-warming documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, may just be the scariest movie you will see this year.
The ultimate effect of An Inconvenient Truth is not unlike looking down the barrel of a loaded gun.
Highly recommended even if Al Gore is incapable of getting at the root cause of global warming.
Apesar de ter uma estrutura similar ao dos filmes que enfocam espet�culos de stand-up comedy (o que compromete sua fluidez), este document�rio traz informa��es absurdamente importantes que s�o transmitidas com clareza pelo carism�tico Gore.
Because of its biased tone and shameless promotion of Al Gore it is simply preaching to the converted.
Un documental contundente y alarmante que, de la mano de un preocupado y convincente Al Gore, se convierte en un verdadero llamado a la acci�n.
Powerful, intelligent and surprisingly entertaining, Gore presents a compelling case. You'll believe a film can change the world.
This is nothing short of life-changing; a film that needs to be seen by every single person on this planet.
t's an enduring irony of movies that one guy talking can be more compelling than a million dollars in locations, extras and effects.
Presented by former US Vice President Al Gore, this documentary is a cool, clinical examination of global warming. And if you thought the repercussions were years off, think again.

This was pretty cool! The seats we got were front row of the balcony facing toward the center of the stage so that we could easily see the performers emerge from the backstage area. We did have some slight issues with some of the lights being too bright and/or in our faces, but the show more than made up for that! Truly a wonderful performance by very talented people and animals! The dragons added a new flair to the circus that made it distinctly different from any other circus show we've ever been to.
