The QueQue: SAPD's Internal Affairs attacked, Sidewalks and sodomy, Benchslaps over sonograms
Published: August 31, 2011
SAPD's Internal Affairs attacked
The Austin-based Texas Civil Rights Project, working with a number of local community organizers and victims' rights groups, released a report last week criticizing the San Antonio Police Department's citizen-complaint process, claiming the department still suffers from officer misconduct and lax oversight.
Jim Harrington, TCRP director, claims a "departmental culture that protects its own and is unwelcoming of supervision" has led to a long stream of serious incidents over the past three years, many well-known, others that have escaped public attention. The cases cited in the report range from officer sexual misconduct and illegal searches to allegations of officer rudeness and indifference to victims of sexual assault.
Harrington's son, an attorney visiting San Antonio for a wedding in 2009, sparked the idea for the report after he came across a woman who had been badly beaten in a parking lot. Harrington claims the responding officer, Craig Nash, was rude, abrasive, and angry with the victim. Six months later, Nash, accused of raping a transgender woman while on duty, pleaded guilty to lesser charges and took a one-year prison sentence. Harrington insists Nash's aberrant behavior was well documented and should have been caught earlier.
In a short, emailed statement, San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said the allegations in the report are either history "long since addressed," or "simply factually incorrect."
Harrington agreed a number of the cases had been dealt with by SAPD. Others not so much.
The report cites the case of a teenager who was raped who, after officers left her at home rather than transport her to a hospital for testing, hung herself in the family's garage late last year. While the mother filed a complaint, SAPD took no action against the officers, according to the report.
Also not addressed is the Internal Affairs complaint process, which Harrington said is engineered to protect officers while also trying to catch complainants in a lie. The report cites Patrick Filyk, a criminal defense attorney and former president of the local ACLU chapter, saying, "There is an understanding amongst criminal defense lawyers in San Antonio that you'd never send your client to Internal Affairs. In fact, it might even be malpractice to send your client to Internal Affairs because it can only result in problems for your client."
TCRP's report lists over 40 recommendations for the department, many of which have been identified in various department reviews over the past three years, and some of which are already being implemented. In SAPD's budget presentation before Council this month, McManus said the department has already started requiring increased training for supervisors and detailed a plan to add video cameras to all department patrol vehicles, and the department has already removed aggravated perjury language from its IA complaint forms.

Outlook on Housing and Finances May Spur Potential Homebuyers to Act
Potential homebuyers may enter the purchase market sooner rather than later as more Americans expect mortgage rates and home prices to climb, according to results from Fannie Mae's June 2013 National Housing Survey. The share of respondents who say mortgage rates will go up during the next 12 months jumped 11 percentage points to 57 percent, the highest level in the survey's three-year history.
Meanwhile, consumers' home price expectations have stayed strong in the face of rising mortgage rates. The share of respondents who believe home prices will go up in the next year also hit a survey high of 57 percent, while those who say prices will go down stayed steady at 7 percent. Although sentiment toward both the current home buying and selling environments retreated slightly, it remains near the survey highs of last month, with 72 percent saying it is a good time to buy and 36 percent saying it is a good time to sell.
"The spike in mortgage rate expectations this month seems to have had an impact on a number of the survey's indicators and may increase housing activity in the near term by driving urgency to buy," said Doug Duncan, senior vice president and chief economist at Fannie Mae. "Consumers may recognize that today's still favorable mortgage rates and homeownership affordability levels will recede over time. Given rising home and rental price expectations and improving personal financial attitudes, more prospective homebuyers may be deciding that now is the time to get off the fence."
Among those surveyed, 56 percent say rental prices will go up during the next year – an 8 percentage point increase and the highest level since the survey's inception – and the average 12-month rental price change expectation jumped 1.2 percent to 4.6 percent. Americans' outlook on their personal finances also increased significantly in June. The share who expect their personal financial situation to improve during the next year climbed to 46 percent, the highest level since June 2010. The share who say their household income is significantly higher than it was 12 months ago jumped 6 percentage points to a survey high 26 percent.
Other survey highlights include:
- At 3.8 percent, the average 12-month home price change expectation fell slightly from last month's survey high.
- The share of people who say home prices will go up in the next 12 months hit a survey high 57 percent, while those who say home prices will go down held steady at the survey low 7 percent.
- The share of respondents who say mortgage rates will go up increased 11 percentage points to 57 percent, the highest level since the survey's inception.
- Forty-seven percent of respondents think it would be easy for them to get a home mortgage today, a slight increase over last month.The percentage of people who expect their personal financial situation to get better over the next 12 months jumped to 46 percent, the highest level since June 2010.
- The share of respondents who say their household income is significantly higher than it was 12 months ago rose 6 percentage points to a survey high 26 percent.
- The percentage of respondents who say their household expenses are significantly higher than they were 12 months ago rose to 36 percent.
850,000 Properties Bounce Back to Positive Equity
Residential property analytic provider CoreLogic® recently released new analysis showing the market is making big moves, with 850,000 additional residential properties turning to positive equity during the first quarter of 2013.
In addition, the analysis shows good news for mortgages: the total number of mortgaged residential properties standing in negative equity is down by nearly 1 million from the previous quarter, moving from 10.5 million (21.7 percent) at the end of the fourth quarter of 2012, to 9.7 million (19.8 percent) in the first quarter of 2013.
The national aggregate value of negative equity decreased more than $50 billion to $580 billion at the end of the first quarter from $631 billion at the end of the fourth quarter of 2012. This decrease was driven in large part by an improvement in home prices.
Of the 39 million residential properties with positive equity, 11.2 million have less than 20 percent equity. At the end of the first quarter of 2013, 2.1 million residential properties had less than 5 percent equity, referred to as near-negative equity. Under-equitied mortgages accounted for 23 percent of all residential properties with a mortgage nationwide in the first quarter of 2013. The average amount of equity for all properties with a mortgage is 32.8 percent.
"The impressive home price gains of 2012 and the beginning of 2013 have had a big impact on the distribution of residential home equity," says Dr. Mark Fleming, chief economist for CoreLogic. "During the past year, 1.7 million borrowers have regained positive equity. We expect the pent-up supply that falling negative equity releases will moderate price gains in many of the fast-appreciating markets this spring."
"The negative equity burden continues to recede across the country thanks largely to rising home prices," says Anand Nallathambi, president and CEO of CoreLogic. "We are still far below peak home price levels, but tight supplies in many areas coupled with continued demand for single family homes should help us close the gap."
Highlights as of Q1 2013:
– Nevada had the highest percentage of mortgaged properties in negative equity at 45.4 percent, followed by Florida (38.1 percent), Michigan (32 percent), Arizona (31.3 percent) and Georgia (30.5 percent). These top five states combined account for 32.8 percent of negative equity in the U.S.
– Of the largest 25 metropolitan areas, Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Fla. had the highest percentage of mortgaged properties in negative equity at 44.1 percent, followed by Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, Fla. (40.7 percent), Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Marietta, Ga. (34.5 percent), Chicago-Joliet-Naperville, Ill. (34.2 percent) and Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, Mich. (33.6 percent).
– Of the total $580 billion in negative equity, first liens without home equity loans accounted for one-half, or $290 billion aggregate negative equity, while first liens with home equity loans accounted for the remaining half at $290 billion.
– 6.0 million upside-down borrowers hold first liens without home equity loans. The average mortgage balance for this group of borrowers is $211,000. The average underwater amount is $48,000.
– 3.7 million upside-down borrowers hold both first and second liens. The average mortgage balance for this group of borrowers is $294,000.The average underwater amount is $79,000.
– The bulk of home equity for mortgaged properties is concentrated at the high end of the housing market. For example, 88 percent of homes valued at greater than $200,000 have equity compared with 73 percent of homes valued at less than $200,000.
"As leaders and agents, it is up to us to get the word out," said Gary Scott, President of Long & Foster Real Estate, during RISMedia's recent Power Broker Forum at NAR Midyear. "There is a huge opportunity for people who had negative equity to come back into the market. We have to help those sellers. It's about a grass roots effort—about taking your sphere of influence and walking them through the reality of the market."

All About Short-Sales
Thinking of Making an Offer on a Short Sale? What You Need to Know…
Are you looking to buy a new home? Are you thinking that now's a great time to find bargains? That's true, but it pays to know a little about the seller's situation before you make an offer.
If a home is being sold for below what the current seller owes on the property-and the seller does not have other funds to make up the difference at closing-the sale is considered a short sale. Many more home owners are finding themselves in this situation due to a number of factors, including job losses, aggressive borrowing against their home in the days of easy credit, and declining home values in a slower real estate market.
A short sale is different from a foreclosure, which is when the seller's lender has taken title of the home and is selling it directly. Homeowners often try to accomplish a short sale in order to avoid foreclosure. But a short sale holds many potential pitfalls for buyers. Know the risks before you pursue a short-sale purchase.
You're a good candidate for a short-sale purchase if:
• You're very patient. Even after you come to agreement with the seller to buy a short-sale property, the seller's lender (or lenders, if there is more than one mortgage) has to approve the sale before you can close. When there is only one mortgage, short-sale experts say lender approval typically takes about two months. If there is more than one mortgage with different lenders, it can take four months or longer for the lenders to approve the sale.
• Your financing is in order. Lenders like cash offers. But even if you can't pay all cash for a short-sale property, it's important to show you are well qualified and your financing is set. If you're preapproved, have a large down payment, and can close at any time, your offer will be viewed more favorably than that of a buyer whose financing is less secure.
• You don't have any contingencies. If you have a home to sell before you can close on the purchase of the short-sale property-or you need to be in your new home by a certain time-a short sale may not be for you. Lenders like no-contingency offers and flexible closing terms.
If you're serious about purchasing a short-sale property, it's important for you to have expert assistance. Here are some people you want to work with:
• Experienced real estate attorney. Only about two out of five short sales are approved by lenders. But a good real estate attorney who's knowledgeable about the short-sale process will increase your chances getting an approved contract. Also, if you want any provisions or very specialized language written into the purchase contract, a real estate attorney is essential throughout the negotiation.
• A qualified real estate professional.* You may have a close friend or relative in real estate, but if that person doesn't know anything about short sales, working with him or her may hurt your chances of a successful closing. Interview a few practitioners and ask them how many buyers they've represented in a short sale and, of those, how many have successfully closed. A qualified real estate professional will be able to show you short-sale homes, help negotiate the purchase when you find the property you want to buy, and smooth communications with the lender. (All MLSs permit, and some now require, special notations to indicate that a listing is a short sale. There also are certain phrases you can watch for, such as "lender approval required.")
• Title officer. It's a good idea to have a title officer do an initial title search on a short-sale property to see all the liens attached to the property. If there are multiple lien holders (e.g., second or third mortgage or lines of credit, real estate tax lien, mechanic's lien, homeowners association lien, etc.), it's much tougher to get that short sale contract to the closing table. Any of the lien holders could put a kink in the process even after you've waited for months for lender approval. If you don't know a title officer, your real estate attorney or real estate professional should be able to recommend a few.
Some of the other risks faced by buyers of short-sale properties include:
• Potential for rejection. Lenders want to minimize their losses as much as possible. If you make an offer tremendously lower than the fair market value of the home, chances are that your offer will be rejected and you'll have wasted months. Or the lender could make a counteroffer, which will lengthen the process.
• Bad terms. Even when a lender approves a short sale, it could require that the sellers sign a promissory note to repay the deficient amount of the loan, which may not be acceptable to some financially desperate sellers. In that case, the sellers may refuse to go through with the short sale. Lenders also can change any of the terms of the contract that you've already negotiated, which may not be agreeable to you.
• No repairs or repair credits. You will most likely be asked to take the property "as is." Lenders are already taking a loss on the property and may not agree to requests for repair credits.
The risks of a short sale are considerable. But if you have the time, patience, and iron will to see it through, a short sale can be a win-win for you and the sellers.

espresso machine and very clean
No rail into shower and tub side was very high - hard to get in and out - fear of slipping with no grip
The location could not be better - right in the heart of the Old Town. The room was quiet, clean and comfortable. The staff could not help enough. they were both efficient and patient
Right in the heart of the old city, behind Place de la Bourse and just off rue de Sainte-Catherine. Easy check-in and out, clean overall. Nespresso machine in the room, well appreciated
Phonic isolation must have been an option... Located in a room at first floor not far from the breakfast room, it was a real inconvenince in the morning. As well, the room above had a wake-up call at 6am which did wake me up as well, and the subsequent noise (apparently for check out preparation)
Location Room service Free internet Comfy bed Clean room
The location couldn't have been better. Be forewarned that if you arrive on a Saturday or Sunday the pedestrian traffic is so great that Taxis cannot deliver you to the hotel. It is not a long walk however. Any other day is just fine.
This is almost general for almost all hotels in France! Why can't they have a reasonable option for breakfast? In this case there was a Paul's 3 minutes away which we used. I do appreciate the coffee maker in the room!!!!
Location and staff
Locality, good size rooms, clean hotel
Noise from the street was annoying
Location, comfortable bed, quite, a/c
Breakfast additional cost, height of bath containing shower
Bang in the middle of the city. Could not fault the hotel.
Perfect location (many restaurants and shops), nice bedroom, cleaness
No parking (cars are not allowed in Rue Ste Catherine)
The location was excellent, at the heart of the shopping and eating precincts. The room was comfortable, really liked the idea of the Nespresso machine in the room.
A little hard to get to as it is in a pedestrian precinct.
It's a great location - staff at the front desk were extremely helpful and friendly. Room was small but I guess that's the standard in much of France. View not great but we did ask for quiet room.
Room did have a bit of a peculiar smell - although not intolerable. Once you were in it you didn't notice for long but on coming in it was fairly noticeable.
Location in center, easy from TGV station Staff dinner recommendations
Rooms, staff, location
Accessibility to the hotel (very hard to get too through the bollards in old town streets)
This hotel was located in the historic "old city" within steps of terrific bars, restaurants, shopping and major sights of Bordeaux! Public transportation was also near. A friendly helpful staff and clean, well appointed rooms.
Rooms that fronted onto St Catherine could be a bit noisy into the night. Suggest asking for a higher floor or a room facing the rear of the hotel.
- very central and convenient location - free use of computers - room and bathroom very clean - friendly staff - few minutes walk to a big variety of restaurants ( we can especially recommend " La Raclette" with raclette, cheese and meat fondues)
- breakfast should be included in room rate - hotel should ask first whether the customer wants a bathrooom with tub or shower - we were given an enourmous bathroom for handicaped people (not being handicaped) with shower only. - can be noisy at night because of central location
Comfort, cleanliness, location
It was in the perfect place, to get the sights near to some gorgeous restaurants Just loved it and would return
Location,good room(319),lovely bed
Coffee maker in the room not easy to work
Great hotel and town!!!
Room was comfortable and light. Bed was great and everything clean. Can be awkward to navigate he old streets with a suitcase but the lack of cars adds to the charm.
Staff weren't helpful. Requested assistance to hire a car but they said we could do it ourselves, despite our limited French. Ordered a bottle of champagne from the menu in room which was not available (fine, but annoying) and didn't serve the alternative bottle in an ice bucket. Small things.
The desk personnel recommended "chez jean" to eat dinner at and it was excellent. Breakfast at the hotel was very good and filling
The location is excellent for a short city break. Stayed two nights after cycling in the region for a few days. The location might not be ideal if you are wanting something quiet, but it really suits being in the middle of shops and cafés.
Would have liked a swimming pool, but unlikely in such a centrally located hotel
Close to everything in the old city. Good service and very comfortable.
Extremely tricky if you are driving to the hotel. Very difficult to late through the restricted car zone. Hotel should attempt to describe vehicle access on their website.

CAPE CORAL, Fla. - A Cape Coral family that's been leading the fight against toxic drywall is now tearing it out of their home.
Richard and Pat Kampf have been the poster family for the toxic drywall problem in Southwest Florida; federal officials have even been to their home to see its corrosive effects.
"A day with Chinese drywall is a nightmare, let alone three years," Richard Kampf said.
His house is now ripped down to the wall studs; a fix prompted by the latest breakdown of a sulfur-corroded air conditioner in the middle of summer.
"The air conditioning technicians had been to our house, in the last 36 months, 36 times."
The Kampfs brought in Southwest Florida-based Abisso Cleanse to do the remediation.
"By tomorrow its going to be completely down to concrete block, all the wiring, all the mechanicals, all the HVAC is going to be out of here," said Jason Roach of Abisso Cleanse.
They've worked on more than two-dozen drywall-infected homes, going a step beyond the government's recently recommendation to gut an infected building.
"We have a third party testing company that comes in, takes samples, sends them off to a lab," Roach said. "They verify for us the treatment was a success."
For the Kampfs, its a six-figure fix to pay on top of their mortgage.
"We have to pay for this remediation out of our pocket," Kampf said. "This didn't come from a settlement. This didn't come from the heavens. This came from a loan."
But after the two to three month repair is finished, the nightmare could be over, and their dream house may finally feel like "home."
"If we can get back and have a Thanksgiving dinner in this house and start our retirement all over again, we'll be very very thankful," Kampf said.
Even after the repairs are complete, Kampf says he'll continue fighting for other families who can't afford the same solution.
"There's a lot of people out there who don't have the wherewithal to do this," he said. "We're not going to go away. We'll still be there fighting for them."


text: odditiesoflife odditiesoflife: Paris Catacombs By the light of torches, candles or miners lights, haunting scenes centuries old appear to unfold. Scenes of skulls, bones and death are everywhere. The passages can be as low as three feet overhead or even less. The air heavy with dust, and the ground underfoot flooded with grimy water splashing way over your shoes. In tunnels up to 100 feet below the surface bustle of one of the world's great cities, another clandestine world exists. Consulting maps, self-trained guides lead the way, while others look for opportunities to take photographs. Exploring the Paris Catacombs, also known as the Mines of Paris, carries risk. For one, it is strictly illegal, with special police and their dogs patrolling the vast subterranean network. There is also a very real danger of getting lost, as well as the chance of cave-ins in some places. odditiesoflife

Profound and powerful, Mountains Beyond Mountains takes us from Harvard to Haiti, Peru, Cuba and Russia, as the charismatic but flawed genius Dr Paul Farmer challenges widely-held preconceptions about poverty and healthcare. As a medical student, Farmer found his life's calling: to cure infectious diseases and to bring the lifesaving tools of modern medicine - so readily available in the developed world - to those who need them most. Beginning in Haiti, he tackles the conditions that contribute to so many unnecessary deaths with his trademark combination of world-class expertise, unlimited compassion, and the unstinting dedication of friends and colleagues. Tracy Kidder's magnificent and moving account shows how, from achieving this modest dream, one person can make a difference in solving global problems through a clear-eyed understanding of the interaction of politics, wealth, social systems and medicine.

Have Mutual Fund Gains? Act Wisely to Minimize the Tax Bite
- Tuesday, December 14, 2010
Will you be taxed on your entire $400 gain? No. The total cost of the shares (for capital gains purposes) is the initial $800 paid plus the $100 reinvested distribution on which tax has already been paid, making a total cost of $900. Thus, the taxable capital gain from the $1,200 proceeds received the following year is only $300 rather than $400.
• When you dollar-cost-average. If you add to your fund holdings through frequent new purchases, you should be especially careful to keep records of the dates, amounts invested, and number of shares purchased. That's because you will later need this detailed information in order to compute any capital gains when your shares are eventually sold. This is all the more true if you later sell part (rather than all) of your shares.
Unless you say otherwise, the IRS assumes that you sell your shares in the same order as you bought them. This is known as FIFO accounting (First-In, First-Out). If your early purchases were at higher levels, this method will give you tax losses; if your early purchases were at lower levels, this method will create taxable gains. You have other options:
• Calculate the average price paid for all the shares sold. Divide the total dollars invested (including any distributions reinvested) by the number of shares you owned. This could either raise or lower your taxes depending on how the other alternatives work out.
• Send the fund written instructions saying you are selling the specific shares bought on such-and-such a day at such-and-such a price. This gives you the most flexibility for managing your tax liability.
A more complicated variation of the averaging method allows you to separate your shares into two groups based on whether they've been held shorter or longer than one year. You then specifically designate which group you are selling from when each sale is made. Most investors won't want to bother with the hassle of this "Average Cost, Double Category" method, but in some cases the extra effort may pay off in reduced capital gains taxes.
While you can switch back and forth between the default (FIFO) method and specifically identifying shares to sell, if at any point you choose to use an average price method, you must continue to use that averaging method for all future sales of that same fund.
As you can see, dealing with mutual fund distributions in a taxable account can get fairly involved, particularly when you have distributions reinvested automatically. Because of this, we typically advise readers with taxable accounts to not reinvest their fund distributions. While this does require the owner to occasionally reinvest any cash received from distributions, it can greatly simplify tax reporting when a fund is sold.

When I was a teenager, this was a thing of legend - the type of alt culture urban legend that isn't technically possible anymore. Kids today can't possibly appreciate the feeling of tracking down a rare video artifact, because everything now is a mere Google search away. I found this video at the bootleg VHS stand at a local comic book convention, sitting between duped Red Dwarf compilations and home video of early Nirvana shows. There was no context provided, no wiki page to reference - just a Xerox-copied cover with a backwards n and "broken" on the front, and a list of the contained music videos on the back. I can't remember what I paid for it, but it was a weighty purchase at the time - $30, maybe. And when I unveiled it with my friends on my bedroom VHS player, it was worth every penny: Scary and gross and awesome - and again, without any context. For all I knew, the "snuff" segments could have been real. I felt I had something truly rare and unique, possibly dangerous. And that was what rock music was about in the 90s: It was danger and dirt and hate and anger and pissing people off. There isn't any of that left in mainstream rock anymore (is there even mainstream rock anymore?). So if you're young, and seeing this for the first time, remember that this is not for you. It's a product of a bygone era. It was never meant for searchable, on-demand access, never meant for the soft-hearted masses who put no effort into seeking it out. It's here now because it should be preserved - but really, if you didn't find this on VHS decades ago, or seek it out on file-sharing networks more recently, you don't deserve it.

Southeast PMI Hits a Two-Year High
Last month, I suggested in a SouthPoint post that manufacturing activity in the Southeast could be a lion or a lamb, the outcome depending on a couple of different scenarios. Was the strong March PMI report a result of pent-up activity that was delayed by the unusually severe weather experienced during the winter, or was there strong underlying demand present that would propel manufacturing into the second quarter? Judging by April's Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) report, there is a strong possibility it was the latter. April's PMI report indicated that manufacturing activity was robust, and various indicators in the report suggest it could continue.
The Atlanta Fed's research department uses the Southeast PMI to track manufacturing activity in the region. The survey is produced by the Econometric Center at Kennesaw State University. It analyzes current market conditions for the manufacturing sector in Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee. The PMI is based on a survey of representatives from manufacturing companies in those states and analyzes trends concerning new orders, production, employment, supplier delivery times, and inventory levels. A reading above 50 indicates that manufacturing activity is expanding, and a reading below 50 indicates that activity is contracting.
The Southeastern PMI rose 1.7 points compared with March and reached a two-year high of 63.2. The new orders subindex and production subindex both reached their highest levels since early 2012. New orders increased 2.1 points, and production increased 2.7 points compared with March. The rise in new orders bodes well for future manufacturing activity. When new orders are high, generally future production will also be high. Factories also appear to be hiring. The employment subindex rose 5.2 points compared with the previous month, indicating that manufacturing payrolls increased during April. The more new orders and production rise, the more new workers will likely be needed. The finished inventories subindex fell 7.8 points during April, suggesting that inventory levels are falling, which could also lead to increased manufacturing activity going forward.
At the state level, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and Tennessee all saw increases in their overall PMI during April and were in expansionary territory (see the chart). The only state not above the 50-point threshold was Mississippi, which just missed with a 49.1.
Using the PMI report as an indicator, manufacturing in the Southeast has been on a nice roll the last couple of months. The Southeast PMI has outperformed the national PMI (it should be noted that the Southeastern PMI is not a subset of the national PMI). March and April reports suggest that activity is growing and solid. We will have to wait and see if the trend continues, but in the meantime, let's hope for a three-year high in May.

I'm happy to report that Theo Cook and I have been awarded the ECAS documentary commission open call for 2014–2015. We'll be travelling to each of the nine festivals in the ECAS network, filming and recording at each to produce a documentary about the music and sound art festival project as it ends its five year cycle. ECAS (European Cities Of Advanced Sound) is a network of the most forward thinking, independent, non-profit music and sound art festivals in Europe – they are also linked into the ICAS network (International Cities Of Advanced Sound). The work will premiere in Berlin in May 2015.
Part of our proposal said:
"Sounds Fragmenting Our Present Tense (working title) is an audiovisual docufiction work looking at and listening to the nine different ECAS festivals. Narrated by a chorus of different voices, female and male, from different nations, ages and historical moments, Present Tense reflects upon the current state of music, national borders and identity – imagining what Europe, and the world, would look and sound like if they were organised using the logic of music…"

This is a week overdue because of all the things I had going on this week. Anyway, another #ootd post for all of you! I apologize that I don't have any close up photos and that my room is a total mess when I took these, but I kind of like it…
I wore this outfit out for school. I'd say that at the moment, this ensemble is one of my statement outfits. I've always just thrown on a shirt, a comfy pair of denim and combats whenever I don't feel like dressing up too fancy. It's a good enough outfit for just simple errands around the community or just a day out shopping.
10 Notes | Posted on December 20, 2013
Here goes another #OOTD post for you all. I've been pretty busy with school lately because my finals are up and most of my projects required a lot of attention. But holla at your girl for managing to finish them all on time!
I didn't get to mention it in the set of photos to follow, but my shirt is from Urban Outfitters as well. I got it for $10 because it was on sale. :)
This hoodie is from Alternative— which is pretty much the best brand that you can trust for basics that feel like clouds. I always just use it for doubling up during the fall and winter season. I love using it together with my oversized denim vest from BDG.
12 Notes | Posted on December 11, 2013
Finally an #ootd post!
This guy's a typical look for when I go to school, specially when I have to be in school before 8am.
So, I've recently gotten into Low Slung Skinny Jeans by BDG because of how relaxed and comfortable they fit. I got my pair from Urban Outfitters for only $10 (they were originally $69) which was the highlight of my week. I bought another pair in stonewash blue the other day, and God, THE. BEST. PAIR. OF. PANTS. EVER. It's such a great change from all the high-waisted pants I've been wearing.
I've had an obsession with chelsea boots for such a long time now and I was so happy when we finally got none-laced ones at Urban Outfitters a couple weeks ago. These pair (also by BDG) comes in black as well, and I really wanted to get those, but I already have so many black chelsea boots. These are always a great way to clean up your las day look and make it seem more put together.
I just realized now that ultimately, this outfit is composed of mostly BDG pieces, which is really great because BDG comes up with such great clothing at a very affordable price. My beanie is a regular in all my selfies and the plaid button up (my favorite) is from Garage. Plaids are a great way to add a pop of color and pattern into a what would have been a plain ensemble.

Once, while browsing through a bookstore, I came across a book with a very catchy title and beautiful book cover. That was enough to pique my interest, and then I recalled seeing an interview with author David Aikman about his newest book: Jesus in Beijing: How Christianity is transforming China and changing the global balance of power. David Aikman wrote from his experiences as Time Magazine's bureau chief in Beijing. The book reveals much about the history and dramatic rise of Christianity in modern China, even under extreme persecution.
Whether you are at home all day, as Jim and I now are, or are still a part of the working force; nothing is more satisfying or comforting than to sit down to a simple supper of a bowl of steaming hot soup (this includes chili) with muffins, cornbread or homemade bread.
It seems that since Jim retired last June we have been on a campaign to do all the things that we never had time or energy to get to before then. First it was to get the 5th wheel ready and up to Indiana, where we spent September and October. Once home it was time to begin holiday preparations.
What a roller coaster ride the weather has been lately!
Just a week ago we hit the teens one morning, and here we go back into the upper seventies again. Now, I am not complaining about the mild temps - I prefer them a gazillion to one over the cold.
These frigid blasts do play havoc, though, with inshore fishing, sending these sensitive seatrout into the area rivers and deep holes, far back into the creeks.
Just when Max was about dry from his bath, he had to go out to go potty. He only took ten minutes but in that time he covered himself in dirt and sand spurs. You can imagine what a Sheltie looks like with black dirt and sandspurs in his fur.
Not only does he get stickers in his fur regularly, he also gets his paws dirty, too, when he rakes dirt up with his front feet acting macho.
Then there's Molly. She gets ice cream on her chest when she eats ice cream. Such a messy dog, and her mane is nearly six inches long. She gets knots behind her ears, too.
Lady Sharks made the most out of the long road trips as they went up to Branford Tournament and played very well. The girls lost both matches, 44-26 to Branford and 46-34 to Bronson, but both finals were a major improvement over prior meetings.
"Cedar Key's gotten so much better since the last time we played them," said Bronson head coach Greg Hamilton.
"You can really tell they're putting in the work."
No rain pelted the heads of revelers. Except at Coconuts, no heavy amps battered their ears. Unlike on the eve of 2007, Cedar Key welcomed in 2008 with a quieter revelry.
Some things stayed the same. As it had last year, Joel Benefiel's group reined at the Island Hotel. Local Traffic rocked the swamp at Coconuts.
Local rockers Dock Street brought their Bob Seger-style stomp to the Seabreeze downstairs, and the up-and-coming duo of T.J. Brown and Josh Calvert were joined at the Raw Bar by Gulf Hammock songbird Naomi Cahours.
Landmark Communications Inc., parent of Landmark Community Newspapers, Inc. (LCNI), owner of the Williston Pioneer Sun News, has hired national investment firms to explore selling the Norfolk, Va.-based company.
"I can confirm that Landmark Communications has retained investment banks JPMorgan and Lehman Brothers to assist in exploring strategic alternatives, including the possible sale of the company's businesses," said Richard F. Barry III, vice chairman of the company.
Christmas and even New Year's is past for another year. We have all somehow survived one more year of trying some new recipes and making the traditional ones. It seemed like I would never be done; there was always one more recipe to prepare. But then, a few days before Christmas, everything was made and stored so that gift plates could be made and Jim and I would have goodies throughout the remainder of the season.
"You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires." (Ephesians 4:22 NIV)
This is the time of year when most make New Year's resolutions, but I'm not going to write about that. Most people don't keep them anyway.
Instead I will write about what to expect in the New Year:
Prices will continue to go up on just about everything that is of importance. Sooner or later, though, the ceiling will drop out of our economy because of inflation.

THE BRIDE THIEF is a tender story of a nobleman who steals away one woman while ostensibly courting another. Justin Baldwin is commanded to marry Evelyn, but finds that he loves her cousin, Isabella, virtually on sight.
Rather than be forced into marriage with a calculating, selfish beauty, he kidnaps the gentle, kind Isabella. Evelyn and her father create no end of havoc, trying to recover Isabella.
Isabelle has a head for business and has made her uncle a wealthy man, while she and her younger brother had been kept in servitude. The evil relatives plot against Isabelle and her brother with no one but Justin to protect them.
Ms. Paul has created a wonderful cast of characters, from the kind and gentle hero whose generosity costs him and his family so dearly to the evil cousin who hides such cruelty behind a beautiful face. SWEET (July, 350 pp., $4.99)

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - The Florida Retail Federation is defending the state's sales tax "holiday" on back-to-school purchases against criticism from a conservative think tank.
Retail Federation CEO Rick McAllister on Tuesday disputed The Tax Foundation's arguments.
The Washington, D.C.-based foundation says such temporary tax breaks do little stimulate the economy or benefit consumers.
Florida is lifting the state's 6 percent sales tax as well as local taxes on certain clothing and school supplies for three days - Aug. 12 through 14.
The foundation contends consumers don't spend more - they just change the timing of their purchases.
McAllister cited a study done for his group disputing that argument.
The foundation also contends retailers sometimes raise prices to at least partly offset tax savings.
McAllister said that's "nonsensical" because retailers compete with each other.

U.S. consumers, buoyed by a surging stock market, steady, if not gangbusters, job growth and a flock of new affordable cars, are back at dealerships plunking down their cash or credit to drive off in a new set of wheels.
Kia Motors America set an all-time sales record in March, passing the 50,000 mark for the first time. Kia's performance was driven by strong demand for the brand's two U.S.-built products, the Optima midsize sedan and Sorento CUV built at Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia, as well as the ongoing popularity of the Soul urban passenger vehicle. Kia's U.S. sales are up 31.8 percent year-to-date.
"Kia is on a tear, and has had a tremendous surge in consideration on our website," said AOL Autos Editor-in-Chief David Kiley. "They have done everything right for a while--good provocative design like the Kia Soul, value pricing, increasing quality and engaging advertising to get people to notice," said Kiley.
General Motors passed an environmental milestone of sorts in March, when it became the first U.S. automaker to sell, in a single month, more than 100,000 cars that can achieve 30 miles per gallon in highway driving. About 40 percent of GM's March sales were of these fuel-efficient cars, said Mark Reuss, GM president for North America. "This is a whole new General Motors," noted AOL's Kiley. "GM, back to being the sales leader, has also become a bonafide industry leader in technology that has pushed up fuel efficiency across their entire lineup."
Overall, General Motors, the world's biggest automaker by sales, reported March sales of 231,052 vehicles in the United States, up 12 percent from a year ago. Ford Motor Company, the number-two US automaker, posted a 5 percent rise in sales, to 223,418 vehicles, its strongest sales performance since 2007.
Ford said the fuel-efficient Focus was its hottest-selling car, with sales up 78 percent and setting an all-time sales record of 28,562 units. Chrysler Group, controlled by Italy's Fiat said U.S. sales surged 34 percent to 121,730 units, its highest level since March 2008. Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A., Inc., today reported its best March results since 2008 with sales of 203,282 units, an increase of 11.2 percent compared to March 2011.
"Toyota dealers had their best-selling month outside of Cash for Clunkers since the pre-recession days of August 2008. Camry and Prius also continue to shine as both set records, including Camry's best March ever and an all-time high for Prius sales," said Jeff Bracken, vice president of Toyota Division sales.
Sales of luxury vehicles are tracking healthy. The BMW Group reported its best first quarter of all time in the U.S. with 75,729 vehicles sold, up 13% from last year. That includes sales of both BMW and MINI branded vehicles.
"The 1st Quarter record affirmed our increasing sales momentum and shows that customers feel more confident about the future," said Ludwig Willisch, President and CEO, BMW of North America. "The year is still young and BMW alone will introduce in 2012 more new and refreshed models in the U.S. than it ever has before in any one year making us strongly optimistic about the months ahead."
