Now I want to be clear I am not trying to start a HUGE discussion on racism!!!!!
Yes, by all means you are intitled to disagree and by no means whatsoever am I accusing every person who does not agree with him a racist. However, it would be ignorant to pretend that some people react more strongly to every little thing because of the color of his skin. In my opinion it is obvious when people question his citizenship "he must be muslim or really born in Africa" or the fact that when he wants to address students it is a HUGE controversy. It wasn't one when Bush (or Regan for that matter) gave a speech. Does that mean that every person who does not like him, or did not want him to speak to the kids is racist, absolutely not. Still, I would be lying if I said I didn't think some people will combat this man including a harmless speach about staying in school because of his skin. I am sure there we're people who deeply disagreed with each of the previous Presidents who once addressed students in a speech, and were their speeches banned from schools? I think not. We do live in America where racism once tore this nation apart and there are still ignorant people that have passed that down from generation to generation. Now do I walk around accussing every person of racism that does not agree with him, of course not, and I would hate to think that is all you took from that comment, but lets be realistic he is the first bi-racial President and when the thread turns from his principles or what he said in a speech, to is he muslim or really American, I have to wonder some people's motivation. That does not mean I called you a racist.
I can agree with you that some people do react more because the color of his skin. Not me, but there are idiots everywhere that wouldn't vote for the man because of his skin color and LIKEWISE people who DID VOTE FOR HIM because of his skin color.....equally idiotic.
Now I can't judge him on whether he is or isn't a Christian...that is between him and the Lord....HOWEVER, he certainly makes me wonder if he is in fact Muslim and was a Christian just for show (votes).....and if he is then he is a liar.....it all goes back to honesty to me. Is the man honest? Can I trust what he is telling me? I have to say NO on both accounts.

Abbott signals Royal Commission into union corruptionPUBLISHED: 28 Jan 2014 10:11:00 | UPDATED: 29 Jan 2014 08:09:45PUBLISHED: 28 Jan 2014 PRINT EDITION: 28 Jan 2014
Phillip Coorey and Mathew Dunckley
The Abbott government has signalled a broad-ranging royal commission into the union movement following fresh allegations of corruption in the construction industry, setting the scene for a drawn-out assault on Labor's traditional support base.
At the same time, Employment Minister Eric Abetz upbraided businesses which habitually cave in to unrealistic union pay demands, jeopardising their viability and risking a wages breakout.
In a blistering attack on business and unions for their roles in lifting wages to unsustainable levels, Senator Abetz called on companies to band together and resist spiralling claims.
"As shadow minister it was always disappointing to see weak-kneed employers caving in to unreasonable union demands then coming to me advocating for workplace relations reform, effectively blaming the system for their own shortcomings," he told the Sydney Institute on Tuesday night.
"As minister, this phenomenon is now even more frustrating. I have often wondered why they couldn't just say 'no' from the outset?"
The royal commission flagged by Prime Minister Tony Abbott will not focus on industrial relations policy but general industry behaviour.
Mr Abbott also used the allegations of corruption, revealed on Tuesday by Fairfax Media, to step up demands that Labor and the Greens stop blocking in the Senate legislation to reinstate the Howard government's construction industry watchdog, the Australian Building and Construction Commission.
The Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union, some of whose officials, organisers and shop stewards in NSW and Victoria have been implicated in the corrupt behaviour, vowed to weed out any offenders.
Fair Work Building Inspectorate chair John Lloyd, who is set to be re-instated as head of the ABCC if it is re-established, said he referred 39 matters to law enforcement agencies and the Australian Taxation Office when he ran the agency. None led to prosecutions that he heard of.
"In most cases the conduct identified and documented was very similar to that reported today in that they involved allegations of extortion and bribery," he said.
Mr Abbott seized on the CFMEU revelations to indicate he would broaden his original election promise to hold a judicial inquiry into the two decade-old Australian Workers' Union slush fund that plagued Julia Gillard when she was prime minister, as well as the corruption in the Health Services Union, where former Labor MP Craig Thomson was an official.
"A royal commission is a form of judicial inquiry and we did promise a judicial inquiry into the AWU slush fund prior to the election,'' Mr Abbott said. "I obviously have read the papers today. I have been following this issue, as you'd expect over the last few weeks and months. I notice there have been various calls including from people inside the union movement, inside the Labor movement more generally, for a fuller inquiry and the government will be making appropriate announcements in due course."
As workplace relations minister more than a decade ago, Mr Abbott established the Cole Royal Commission into the building and construction industry, the findings of which led to the establishment of the ABCC.
The previous Labor government watered down the ABCC and Mr Abbott wants the body and its full powers restored.
"If the Labor Party is serious about tackling corruption again they will stop standing in the way of the re-establishment of a strong cop-on-the-beat in that particular industry.''
The investigation by Fairfax Media found several influential CFMEU officials, organisers and shop stewards in NSW and Victoria received bribes and other inducements from corrupt companies that needed their support to win multimillion-dollar contracts.
Opposition spokesman on workplace relations Brendan O'Connor said if true, the behaviour was "reprehensible''.
But he said any inquiry into the alleged bribes should also focus on "who is actually paying those bribes''.
Mr O'Connor said the CFMEU's continued membership role in the Labor Party was a matter for the party but he praised the union's leadership for referring the allegations to the police saying: "You can't expect more."
CFMEU national secretary Dave Noonan called the police and said those found to be involved would be sacked.
"In respect of bribery, corruption or people acting illegally or inappropriately, unethically to our members, we will have no tolerance for that," he said. "We have got rid of people for that in the past, it does arise from time to time, and if necessary we will do that in future."
ACTU president Ged Kearney backed Mr Noonan. "The union movement stands united against any proven corruption by any union officer or representative,'' she said.
"Any allegations against labour hire, building companies or individuals, union or otherwise, should be investigated by police."
Ms Kearney questioned the need for a royal commission or some other measure used to attack unions.
"We do not support the use of these allegations to weaken the historic role of this union in making workplaces safe and fighting for decent lives for building workers in Australia,'' she said.
The owner of labour hire company KPI said accusations that his company paid kickbacks to union officials and promised to employ relatives of union officials, bikies or industry figures to win work were fabrications.
"It's all bullshit," KPI director Kevin Ramsay said. "It's a load of rubbish. It's one million per cent lies."
Mr Ramsay said he was looking to clear his name, but declined to say exactly what he would do about the allegations that he said were lies.
"I spoke to my lawyer this morning," he said. "I'm looking at doing something about it as we speak. I'll do whatever it takes to clear my name. I win the work off my own back. I don't need help from anyone to give me work."

Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Certified Organic, National Resources Defense Council, organic, Organic Food, organically grown, pesticides, Stanford
Stanford University scientists recently published a study in the Annals of Internal Medicine comparing the benefits of organic versus non-organic food, concluding that they "did not find strong evidence that organic foods are more nutritious or carry fewer health risks than conventional alternatives."
Some people may view this study as a reason to not buy organic products. However, in my mind, nutrition was never the reason to buy organic to begin with, and this study just brings us further away from the real reasons to buy and eat organic.
The main reason you should eat organic is so that you and your family consume as little GMOs, pesticides, and other toxins as possible. Even the Stanford researchers concluded that consuming organic food reduces your risk of consuming pesticides by 30%. So while Stanford concluded that there is no difference in nutrients…Ask yourself this: Do I want to consume more toxins, now that I know that they're just as nutritious as the organic version? That would not be logical.
Beyond our own health and nutrition, buying organic means "to respect the land your food came from," as the Atlantic wrote in their response to the study. Another crucial reason to buy organic is to encourage environmentally sustainable farming practices, which are more healthy for not only our environment, but for the farm workers who are no longer exposed to the toxic chemicals they otherwise would have sprayed on the food.
As the National Resources Defense Council wrote: "Pesticide or fertilizer laden runoff from farmlands washes into rivers, lakes, and streams, contaminating waterways, and destroying habitat. Many pesticides are also toxic to health, and have been linked to respiratory problems, neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease, cancer and reproductive problems. Every year, farm workers and people living near conventional farms suffer from poisonings and serious health effects from pesticide spraying."
So, reduce your consumption of toxins, protect the environment and the farm workers, stop contaminating the waterways and water supply. Eating and wearing organic accomplishes this. You do not have to attend Stanford to excercise common sense.

It's bad enough that your television shows have to be interrupted by commercials, but why do they have to be so insulting?
First, there are our friends at BP playing Cajun music, urging us to come back to the Gulf of Mexico, where the beaches are beautiful and the seafood never tasted better. Or the smiling faces of the friendly folks at Exxon Mobil and Chevron, pumping not just billions of dollars out of the ground, but also into commercials targeted to influence how you think.
How willing are the news networks going to be to criticize Big Oil, when Big Oil is paying their bills through the commercials? You know that saying? "Don't bite the hand that feeds you." You see how well the Chinese Wall worked for Arthur Anderson.
It's one thing when oil companies and clean coal want to persuade you into thinking they're your best friends and that they care about the environment. But now there is a recent trend of "Environmental Bashing" commercials. Shaquille O'Neal promotes Buick by stating: "I've got shoes bigger than most hybrids- more stylish, too."
Now there's the Geico gecko commercial, mocking a couple that wants to buy only organic food at the market, making them look like over-educated geeks. The guy is even wearing an argyle sweater. This is just one more insult to people trying to do the right thing and live a healthy lifestyle.
I am off for a hike in the Santa Monica Mountains…without commercial interruption!

Stay tuned, as Organically Grown will be tweeting live from the Green Carpet at Sunset Sessions! We will be asking the artists to "Get Naked or Go Organic!" and if they are wearing something not made of organic cotton, they either have to get naked or put on an organic t-shirt from Organically Grown! For videos of artists such as Jimmy Clif, Nate Reuss from Fun., and Brandon & Leah "Getting Naked or Going Organic" at this past February's Sunset Sessions, please visit the Organically Grown YouTube channel here.

Last week, Los Angeles became the largest US city to ban single-use plastic bags, after the Los Angeles City Council overwhelmingly endorsed a ban on the distribution of single-use plastic shopping bags in grocery stores, convenience stores and pharmacies within city limits.
Regarding the passing of the bill, Councilman Paul Koretz said, "I'm deliriously excited about the passage of this measure. Ever since I first heard about the floating plastic island in the Pacific, while I was still in the state legislature, I have been trying to move the ball forward on banning plastic bags in this state."
Great job, Paul! Paul Koretz is my council member and a passionate, great guy.
Councilmember Eric Garcetti, added: "Plastic bags clog our landfills, clog drainage systems, and litter neighborhoods. This ban will help us keep our communities healthy and clean."
At Organically Grown®, we have been struggling with the philosophy of our packaging. The idea that our clothes are packaged in a plastic poly bag personally disturbs me. However, others believe that our customers expect it as part of a finished product.
What do you think?

Yesterday, the Stroller Brigade, mostly a group of moms and children, who marched at the Capitol to urge Congress to pass the Safe Chemicals Act to supersede the 1976 Toxic Substances Control Act. The Safe Chemicals Act would require chemical manufacturers to prove that their chemicals are safe before they can be sold. Since the 1976 Toxic Substances Control Act, only five chemicals have been banned under this law.
According to Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families: "Early puberty, childhood cancer, infertility, learning and developmental disabilities are rising at alarming rates. Studies show links between toxic chemicals we're exposed to every day and many of these negative health trends. Almost all pregnant women in America contain toxic chemicals in their bodies."
"The stroller brigade is carrying an important message to Congress that we're not going to stand by and let our kids continue to be exposed to chemicals that make them sick," Lautenberg, chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Superfund, Toxics and Environmental Health, told The Huffington Post.
At Organically Grown, we support the efforts of the Stroller Brigade. It will be interesting to see how this bill does in Congress. This should not be a Democrat or Republican matter, as the safety of our children is a non-partisan issue.

Stan Lathan (born July 8, 1945) is an American television director, film director, television producer and television director.[1]
Lathan's career began with public television in Boston where he co-created and directed one of the first and longest running urban-themed magazine shows, Say Brother. In 1969, he moved to New York to become one of the first directors of the groundbreaking urban preschool phenomenon Sesame Street.
In 1973, Lathan teamed up with Quincy Jones and Jesse Jackson to produce and direct Save the Children, a music documentary feature film distributed by Paramount Pictures. Lathan began directing network television shows in 1975, when he was invited to Los Angeles to direct multiple episodes of Sanford and Son starring Redd Foxx. He went on to direct numerous television drama and comedy series, including Hill Street Blues, Miami Vice, Cagney & Lacey, Eight Is Enough, The Waltons, Falcon Crest, Remington Steele, Frank's Place, Fame, and Roc.
During the 1970s and 1980s, he contributed to performance arts series on public television. He directed Alvin Ailey: Memories & Visions, as well as dance specials featuring The Martha Graham Company, Mikhail Baryshnikov, and Agnes de Mille. In addition, he directed dramas for PBS such as Great Performances, American Playhouse, The American Short Story, and Wonder Works. In 1984, he worked with Harry Belafonte to direct the hip-hop movie Beat Street for Orion Pictures.
In 1983 Stan Lathan produced comedian Richard Pryor's stand up comedy movie "Here And Now"
In the 1990s, Lathan remained one of Hollywood's most prolific directors of TV and film. He directed the pilots and thus seeded the series and syndication success of Martin, Moesha, The Parkers, The Steve Harvey Show, Amen, Cedric the Entertainer Presents, Eve, and All of Us.
In 2000 and 2004, Lathan continued to break the mold and expand the business model for black comedy on cable TV. He executive produced and directed Dave Chappelle's highly successful comedy specials Killin' Them Softly for HBO and For What It's Worth for Showtime. He also executive produced and directed Cedric the Entertainer's Taking You Higher, for HBO.
As one third of JSR Productions, Lathan executive produced as well as directed episodes for the BET reality-TV spoof "Real Husbands of Hollywood" starring Kevin Hart.
Lathan is currently directing the new TV Land sitcom The Soul Man.
Partnership with Russell Simmons[edit]
In 1989, Lathan and Russell Simmons partnered to create one of the most successful franchises in entertainment: HBO's Def Comedy Jam series, which started the careers of some of today's biggest television and movie stars, such as Chris Tucker, Dave Chappelle, Martin Lawrence, Bernie Mac, Cedric the Entertainer, Steve Harvey, Mo'Nique, Mike Epps, and D. L. Hughley. After a nine-year hiatus, Def Comedy Jam relaunched in 2006 to huge ratings. Together, they co-own The Simmons Lathan Media Group, a film and television production and acquisitions company that develops and distributes urban content across a variety of media platforms.
In 2002, the partnership was honored with their first Peabody Award for their series Def Poetry Jam on HBO. That same year, Lathan and Simmons produced and Lathan directed Def Poetry Jam on Broadway, which won a Tony Award for Best Special Theatrical Event.
Lathan and Simmons feature film credits include, co-executive producers of Waist Deep, Gridlock'd and The Show.

The Knox County Sheriff's Office is looking for at least two suspects responsible for a West Knox County Pizza Hut robbery that occurred Friday night. The incident happened just before 11:00 p.m. at the Pizza Hut located at the 9200 block of Kingston Pike.
According to the initial investigation, a black male carrying a handgun entered the front door of the business, approached the clerk at the front counter, and demanded to know where the safe was. After pointing the gun at the employees and making them lie down on the floor, he grabbed cash from the safe and register and fled through the front door. The suspect pointed the gun at a delivery driver who was coming in the front door at that time and demanded he stay outside.
The suspect fled on foot, but was seen getting into the passenger side of a faded red older model (possibly 1992-1994) Honda Civic with a custom muffler and dark tinted windows. The suspects fled the parking lot in an unknown direction.
The suspect is described as a black male with light skin, approximately 25-30 years old, 5'8"-5'9", 150-160 pounds, with unshaven, scraggly facial hair. He was wearing a faded camouflage jacket at the time of the robbery. A description of the driver of the Honda is unavailable at this time.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Knox County Sheriff's Office Major Crimes Unit at (865) 215-2243.

Those Who Wish Me Dead

Had to read this book in one day. Good job of keeping me intrigued. Enjoyed the setting, the survival info provided by several different characters that I hadn't known before. A number of unexpected twists and turns right to the end. Very satisfying read on a cold, windy day. Reminds me a lot of Craig Johnson and Nevada Barr.
very good book, some real twists in the story that you don't see coming!
13 year old boy sees something he shouldn't have and is forced to flee into the woods, killers hot on his trail. Kortya takes Cormac McCarthy-esque villains almost to the point of caricature, and there are lots of 'yeah but' moments when you want to argue with the author; but this page-turning story is saved by the details of wilderness survival and the description of the mountain setting.
There are lots of anomalies in this story. I was inclined to quit 1/3 through but I wanted to see how some were explained. I thought the explanations were even more far fetched.
Well plotted and suspenseful with a wilderness survival theme. If you like Nevada Barr books you will like this book.
Intense, quick read with good character development. I was pleased that this story had a different setting than any of the other books I've read recently. Lots of wilderness and survival tactics and knowledge that at first I skimmed over but then realized I needed to know in order to understand the plot. Fast, thrilling read that I enjoyed!
A teen witnesses a murder and must trek through the wilderness of Montana to escape the perpretrators. Luckilly, there are others who help him elude those who are pursuing him, as well as the wild fires that are sweeping through the mountains.

Bygone Romance: Garnet Hair Comb
SOLDItem 10402
Its a legend! This eye catching jewel is featured on page 128 in the latest 7th edition of the book, "Answers to Questions About Old Jewelry" by C. Jeanenne Bell! See over 30 of pieces of our jewelry highlighted - both currently for sale and from the recent past. Don't miss this wonderful resource.
Combs as adornment for the hair have been universal cultural artifacts for thousands of years. Crafted from bone, wood, metal or any number of materials, the fashion of jewelry for the hair reached its peak of popularity during the mid to late 1800s.
An array of Bohemian garnets lights up this three prong tortoise shell hair comb with a subtle fire that could set any scene ablaze. Through the centuries this rich red stone, also referred to as pyrope, was worn to protect the traveler from harm. It was during the Victorian era that Bohemian garnet jewelry developed its characteristic design form where the garnets entirely dominated the metal setting.
With a motif of three feathers, garnet upon garnet of varying size and shape encrusts the entire surface. With its inventive hinge mechanism, the comb can be worn as a tiara or as a simple adornment at the back or side of the head. The stones have a wonderful clarity and transparency and refract the light with a brilliant sparkle. Measures 3 1/2 inches (8.8 cm) in total length. Garnet portion measures 1 5/8 inches (4.3 cm) by just over 1 1/2 inches (4.0 cm) at the widest part. In very good condition with one of the smallest garnets chipped entirely with the base remaining, all other aspects excellent. Circa 1880.

With its 9-5 Orange Empire Conference loss at Golden West on Tuesday, the Irvine Valley baseball team is facing a must win situation on Thursday if it wants to keep its season alive.
The Lasers need a victory if they want to have a shot of moving on to the Southern California Regional Playoffs.
Tuesday's defeat dropped Irvine Valley's record to 18-17 overall and 8-12 in conference. The Lasers are currently tied for fifth place in the standings with Fullerton.
Each team is one game back of Cypress for fourth place. Depending on the final standings and tiebreakers involved, four teams - with a possibility of five - are expected to make the postseason from the conference.
Irvine Valley fell behind early on Tuesday at Golden West and just couldn't catch up. Golden West scored three runs in the first inning and three more in the second inning to jump out to a 6-0 lead against Irvine Valley starting pitcher Cody Fitzgerald.
Irvine Valley came back with two runs in the top of the third, getting a two-run double from freshman third baseman Sean Guite. And the Lasers got back into the game in the top of the eighth with two more runs to make it a 7-5 game.
Guite had an RBI triple and freshman Josh Lesinski brought in a run with a sacrifice. But Golden West put the game away in the bottom of the eighth with two runs off IVC sophomore Austin Alva on no hits.
Two walks, two hit batters and a fielder's choice brought in the runs. Fitzgerald took the loss, going 1 2/3 innings. He gave up six runs (four earned) on seven hits and one hit batter with three strikeouts.
Freshman Bryan Castelli did a solid job in relief of Fitzgerald to keep IVC in the game. Castelli pitched four innings and allowed one run on four hits and a walk with four strikeouts.
The Lasers were led at the plate by Guite, who went 3 for 4 with three RBI, freshman center fielder Bryce Hara, who was 2 for 4 with two runs scored and freshman left fielder Cody Inglis and sophomore catcher Anthony Almeida, who each had two hits.
For Golden West, Blake Cooper was 2 for 3 with two RBI and Alex Hernandez went 3 for 5. Cody Morad earned the win to improve his record to 4-1 on the season. He went 7 1/3 innings and allowed all five runs. Irvine Valley hosts Golden West on Thursday at 2 p.m.

The World Health Organization projects that the number of diabetics will exceed 350 million by 2030. Governments and other healthcare providers around the world are investing in health education, diagnosis and treatments for this chronic, debilitating - but controllable - disorder.
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is characterized by loss of the insulin-producing beta cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas leading to a deficiency of insulin. This type of diabetes can be further classified as immune-mediated or idiopathic. The majority of type 1 diabetes is of the immune-mediated variety, where beta cell loss is a T-cell mediated autoimmune attack.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is characterized differently and is due to insulin resistance or reduced insulin sensitivity, combined with relatively reduced insulin secretion which in some cases becomes absolute. The defective responsiveness of body tissues to insulin almost certainly involves the insulin receptor in cell membranes. However, the specific defects are not known. Diabetes mellitus due to a known specific defect are classified separately. Type 2 diabetes is the most common type.

We've all been waiting for this hot new movie release for far too long! Finally it's here...Captain America, The Hulk, Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye and Thor. I just can't wait to see this in theaters. I've seen all the movies, except for Captain America (so I better see this before I head to the theaters). But I enjoyed all the other ones very much. One word... ACTION!
I can't soley pick one superhero as my favorite. But I do love how Robert Downey Jr. portrays Iron Man.
Do you have a favorite superhero? Let us know in the comment!
If you need a little refresher of the Marvel characters, why not check-out the DVDs and Graphic novels at the public library?
I have recently watched the movie "Skyline" , and have to say Best. Alien. Invasion. Movie. Ever. It was exciting from beginning to end, and the special effects were amazing. I found that it's set up for a possible sequel, hopefully, because I didn't want this roller-coaster ride to end!
The movie starts out with an artist and his girlfriend going to L.A. to celebrate his friend's birthday.The next morning, they awaken to the sight of an alien aircraft over the city. The aircraft begins to emit a blue light, which, once a person is exposed, causes them to disappear. Their friends try to flee, and so begins a struggle for survival, with extraterrestrial lifeforms and memerizing special effects.
Eric Balfour, from "Haven", does a great starring turn as our hero and the aliens are truly horrifying. There is a great twist to the story, and was not predictable at all, which I love in a movie. I highly recommend this movie if you like sci-fi and horror movies.
Actors: Eric Balfour, Donald Faison
Directors: Greg Strause, Colin Strause

Hard Money Loans: A Great Alternative to Traditional Financing
November 6, 2010 by
Filed under Private Money Lending
Over the years, real estate investing has provided great career opportunities for dozens of people who have taken advantage of this prolific business. To succeed in this industry, however, you must take certain things into careful consideration. You also have to equip yourself with proper knowledge and information to make sure that you won't commit costly mistakes that would affect your integrity as a real estate investor. One of the things you should do to ensure your success in real estate investing is to find a good source of funds. You can approach banks and other lending institutions, such as credit unions and mortgage companies, for your financing needs. As long as you can meet the criteria set by these financial institutions, you can obtain funds for your investment properties. But what if you were unable to secure a loan from traditional lenders? What happens next? Fortunately, there is an alternative to traditional financing called a hard money loan. Unlike those provided by banks, mortgage companies, and credit unions, hard money loans (HMLs) are asset-based. Lenders of HMLs verify a loan's eligibility by assessing the after repair value, or ARV, of a property, which serves as the collateral. Because hard money loans are asset-based, lenders are not concerned about a borrower's credit history. They don't care if the borrower has a bad credit score or if his current financial status is unstable. As long as the property, for which the loan is made, has a potential to attract a great deal, lenders will provide the borrowers with the funds they need. One advantage of securing loans provided by hard money lenders is that borrowers don't have to undergo credit checks. In addition, they don't have to deal with a processing team, which is a common procedure in traditional financing. Because of such a scenario, the releasing of funds can be done in just a few days. Borrowers don't have to wait for weeks or months just to acquire the money they need. According to certain experts, it is ideal to use hard money loans when purchasing investment properties. Lenders of HMLs sometimes provide 100% financing on some deals, which is something that a traditional lender can't do. In addition, some hard money loans provide coverage for repair costs, which is perfect for those who buy and rehab homes for profit. To find hard money lenders, you can join the local real estate investing club and ask your fellow real estate investors for referrals since most of them have experience working with these people. Settlement attorneys can also provide you with a lead to a hard money lender because they are the ones who prepare loan documents for lenders of HMLs. You can also gain access to trustworthy hard money lenders on RehabHardMoney.com. Because the web site brings together HML lenders and borrowers from many parts of the country, finding a good source of funds for your real estate investing business is just a walk in the park. To learn more about hard money lending, visit www.RehabHardMoney.com

Hard Money Loans: Providing Great Convenience to Investors and Homeowners
October 21, 2010 by
Filed under Private Money Lending
Contrary to popular belief, hard money loans are not just for buying investment properties alone. This type of non-traditional financing has many uses and even conventional homeowners can get huge benefits by using it. Although some people discourage others from borrowing hard money because of its high interest rate, securing this mode of financing can help you in more ways than you can imagine.
As you may know, hard money is collateral-based. This basically means that you'll get funds depending on the value of the property offered as collateral. Because it is collateral or asset-based, a borrower doesn't have to go through conventional underwriting process, including credit checks and interview with loan officers, when securing hard loans.
Hard money lending is a popular financing option for many real estate investors when buying investment properties as it provides them with great convenience. For starters, asking hard money lenders for help instead of banks and mortgage companies help them save time since they don't have to undergo tough credit checks or file mountains of financial documents.
Life what was mentioned earlier, hard money loans are not just for securing investment properties. It can also be used to fund tricky real estate deals, like wholesaling bank owned homes. It is no secret that in most cases, there's a non-assignability clause that is attached to REOs. To overcome such a hurdle, real estate investors turn to hard money lenders to make a simultaneous closing possible. Because hard money can be released immediately, investors can secure the funds they need to "buy" an REO from the bank before flipping the property to their end buyers.
Hard money lending is also beneficial to ordinary homeowners who are having a hard time keeping up with their mortgage payments. A homeowner can save his property from being foreclosed by the bank by securing hard money. Â Since lenders don't depend their decision to approve or reject a loan application on a borrower's credit rating, a homeowner can secure the funds he needs to pay off his debts as long as the property he's offering as collateral has great equity.
In addition, a homeowner can still make it in time even if the bank has given him a week to pay off his mortgage. Hard money lenders are quicker to process a loan as compared to traditional financiers, which is why a borrower can get the required funds in a day or two.

Hard Money Lenders A Great Option For Real Estate Investors Who Need Money Fast
November 10, 2007 by
Filed under Private Money Lending
One fear that many new Real Estate Investors have is where to find money for real estate investing. And once new Real Estate Investors begin to read about some of the options they may have, they are bound to come across the term "Hard Money Lender". So, what is a Hard Money Lender (HML)?
A Hard Money Lender is a private individual or small company of private lenders who are usually locally based in the area where the real estate is being purchased. Hard Money Lenders often look at a potential real estate deal when deciding whether or not to make a loan on a particular property. Unlike traditional banks or lenders, they are generally not as concerned with a particular person's financial background, situation, or credit. The property is the direct collateral for the loan.
Hard Money Lenders often charge a hefty premium to lend money, meaning several points more and a very high interest rate for each loan; many real estate investors do not use HMLs because of this. Many Hard Money Lenders can turn around a loan (meaning you can have money in hand) within 24 hours.
Sometimes Hard Money Lenders are used in addition to regular or traditional funding. Other times Investors utilize Hard Money as his or her only means of funding.
When considering whether or not to use hard money, you have to calculate your numbers to decide if this is something that is worth it to you. If you need money within two days and will gross $40,000 when all is said and done, does it really matter if you have to pay $10,000 for the money? Or is it just part of the costs of doing business? Only you can determine this.
What is the best way to find Hard Money Lenders?
The best way to find a Hard Money Lender is to talk to people who are already working with them. The simplest way to do that is to ask other active investors. Find other investors by attending REIA meetings. Another great way to find other investors is to go to foreclosure auctions. See who is bidding on which properties, bring business cards and strike up a conversation. Ask them where they are getting the money and go to the same person or place.
You can also check with:
1. Attorneys and/or title companies (that handle closings for other investors)
2. Real Estate Brokers (that work with investors)
3. Bank Officers (small, local banks that are portfolio lenders, lenders who keep the loans "in house")
To find a Hard Money Lender, you need to tell everyone you know that you are a Real Estate Investor. You need to build a team and you need to network with other investors. Often times if the numbers on the deal are solid ("guaranteed" profitable), finding the money should not be a problem (especially when you have surrounded yourself with a network).
Finally, when Investing in Real Estate, it is important to weigh all of your financing options against all of your proposed exit strategies. Real Estate Investors who consider all of the pros and cons of a potential deal will have a much easier time knowing where to find the money that they need.

Toilet paper restrictions
Republican Herald
MAHANOY CITY – Vandalism in Mahanoy Area High School boys' bathrooms has resulted in toilet paper being issued by request as needed, a policy that one parent believes is embarrassing for students.
Karen Yedsena, Mahanoy City, spoke during the public portion of Thursday's school board meeting, asking about the policy.
"I'm asking about the high school and why the boys are not allowed to have toilet paper except if they go to the nurse or the office to get it," Yedsena said.
The boys' bathrooms in the high school do not have toilet paper due to vandalism. Any boy needing the bathroom tissue must ask for it and sign it out.
High school Principal Thomas Smith said it was a solution to a major problem.
"We've had serious destruction to our bathrooms for the past two years," Smith said. "We have a case pending with the police where a bathroom down by our gymnasium was absolutely destroyed. I'm sure Mr. (Robert) Pastucha (district facilities director) could tell you the times that our toilets have been jammed with toilet paper and other papers. And after we took the toilet tissue out of there, people were throwing books. It was our way to try to curb the destruction in the bathrooms."
Smith explained the procedure in getting the toilet tissue.
"Our policy is that if you need toilet paper, you would come to the office. We're not refusing anyone toilet paper," Smith said. "You would sign out and then sign back in. I randomly go in to check if anything is going on. Since we've done that, we've cut down on the destruction."
Yedsena said there are students who have been embarrassed to go to the office for toilet paper and instead would go to the nurse saying they're not feeling well and go home instead. Thomas said he was unaware of any such problem from the monthly reports from the nurse.
"I think it's been pretty much accepted," Superintendent Joie Green said.
"Well, it's not," Yedsena said.
Yedsena also asked about the restrictions that students can only go to the bathroom during the first five minutes of a class.
"We're cutting down on people walking through the hallways for no reason," Green said. "What we're trying to do, is that they're going to the bathroom at the beginning and end of class."
Yedsena asked if the toilet paper policy could be changed, to which Smith said it could.

School board president Cheryl Crow states "The enviroment will benefit from the boys bad behavior".+8
Awww, the poor widdow vandals are embarrassed to ask for toilet paper. Ok then, we'll return the t-p and install surveillance cameras in the stalls. That should do the trick.+6
Go Green! CORNCOBS.
Where the F___ is MAHANOY CITY? I hate that– posting clips with no state or even country reference.+9
when i was a boy in public schools, we would have taken care of the vandals behavior ourselves as soon as their behavior had a negative impact on the rights of rest of us.
looks like we are raising a bunch of future "politicians" in our public schools always looking for some one else to "fix things" and then complain because you don't like the results.
the only problem with this country is that it is full of pussy's and fags.+6
Boobie — Not posting the dateline is a pet peeve of mine too. Most times I can guess if it sounds vaguely familiar, but most times, nah.
As for the young fellas and their T-P problems. The left (i.e. young) seems to be okay with Big Bro watching everything, so surveillance it is. Let's put the janitor in charge of monitoring the camera and hope he's not a freak.+5
This reminds me of an old joke…
Ralph and Fred are hunting in the woods.
Fred yells, "Hey! I've got to take a wicked crap; I'll be right back. I don't have any TP in my backpack! Have you got any?"
Ralph says, "Nope. But if you don't want to use leaves, just use a dollar."
Fred comes back out of the woods with his hands covered in poop.
Ralph says, "WTF? What happened?"
Fred replies, "I only had three quarters and a dime."+6
Mahanoy City is is Pennsylvania, where Ralph and Fred were hunting, by the way.+4
Between Reading and Hazleton in eastern PA.+4
Because screwing the actual perpetrators would be unfair, since it only targets those responsible, they chose instead to screw everyone.
That's fair, right? Everyone's on the same level of misery.
Welcome to Libville, folks! If you like our toilet paper policy, you'll luuuuuv our new health care system!+5
You all do realize that this happened in Schuylkill County in PA, right? That's pronounced SKOOL-kill.+3
I just have three questions about this story:
How stupid exactly is this Karen Yedsena, that she doesn't grok the simple connection between vandalism using toilet paper, and the restriction of toilet paper?
Why is her son such a giant blubbering vagina that he's 'embarrassed' to ask for toilet paper?
If asking for toilet paper is such a problem for this whiney little d-bag, then why doesn't he bring a roll from home and store it in his locker/desk/backpack?+7
Any boy who has to shit regularly in a school bathroom should see a doctor. Nasty places. And they can't say they are being penalized by the actions of a few vandals, since the situation prior to the TP lockdown was worse; They didn't have TP, because it was in the toilets, and they didn't have toilets because the toilets were clogged with TP. Here's a solution: Frequent flyers learn to bring their own snacks, capiche?+7
Frankly I'd just bring my own. And finally have decent, double-layer TP at school instead of the industrial stuff.+3
TN Tuxedo, could you please explain how they would "target those responsible" in this situation?
How would they go about identifying the perpetrators and singling them out? Guards in the bathrooms?0
I am a product of public schools, and can't recall using the boy's room for other than pissing.+3
Oh, catching a smoke and dope deals, but no crapping.+3
As a kid, I never once had the unpleasant opportunity to take a shit at school, and for two good reasons.
Back then, for some reason there were no doors on the stalls in boy's room. (yeah, ONLY the boys were bad, right?) So there goes the privacy factor and in comes the BootCamp Head Simulation.
And, any boy who DID drop his shorts and park his ass on the pot, got laughed at by any and all other guys who happened to be in there as well.+4
Obviously the only solution is to microstamp all toilet paper in the county with the buyers SS number and only allow rolls with no more than eight sheets of paper on them into the school at any given time.
Also, your name must be checked against a National Diarrhea Registry and a three day waiting period before you can take a laxative home with you after purchase.
All your sh1t are belong to us!+4
We didn't have any need for TP at Man's Country – cause I was the "Paper Boy!"
(tee hee!)0
Ahhhh…. Mahanoy City. About 18 miles from me and about 10 miles from Mt. Carmel( remember the suspended 5 year old terrorist with a Hello Kitty Bubble Gun ?).
It's obvious that the Libtards are targeting the land of "Bitter Clingers" and wish to impose their liberal bullshit upon us. Too bad for them. There is already a group of concerened parents and citizens ready to run these fuckers out of town, as they have before. BTW- Mahanoy City is right next to Shenandoah… don't remember? That's where an illegal alien thought he was gonna "take a shot at the title" and ended-up being killed by a kid(s). The MSM went ape shit and labeled everyone that lives in Shenandoah a RAY-CYST.
FYI- The liberal left propaganda machine is on location making a movie about Shenandoah right now… that is whenever they aren't afraid to crawl out from the shadows for fear of being beaten.
Here in the Coal Region, they dish-out their own justice and outsiders ARE NOT WELCOME.
The war is on…. don't think otherwise.+3
Ten children should be randomly selected for punishment!
four square now has a new meaning
signs: "Poop free zone"
Ban toilets
slit trench latrines … a few suggestions … ;~}+3

Ending college football debate would be a debacle

By the time you read this Sunday, we should have some clarity on the BCS picture. And by ''clarity,'' I mean that anywhere between one and 20 institutions of higher learning and their face-painted fans will believe they have been royally hosed.
The debate will rage on because it's December, because the meaningful bowls are about a month away and because adults take leave of their adultness when it comes to college football.
I'm going to miss the heck out of this.
I'm going to miss the arguing and the whining, the grousing and the caterwauling. You haven't seen indignation until you've seen an alum rage against injustice on a college football message board. It's sort of like a frat boy railing against ''The Man.''
Next year, a playoff will replace the BCS, which tried to take some of the guesswork out of the bowl system but ended up causing as much outrage and confusion as anything that came before it. For those of us who understand the essence of college football is not the football but the debate, the BCS has been lovely.
Most people seem to think a four-team playoff is a much better alternative to the melee that has gone on for decades over deciding a national champion. What they don't understand is that they are killing what makes the game unique and fun.
College basketball has March Madness and its attendant brackets.
The NFL has the Super Bowl, that American ode to excess.
Baseball has stats and tradition.
The NBA has hipness.
The NHL has cold steel on ice. And — oh, yeah — fights.
College football has fans with burst blood vessels in their eyes, brought on by strident arguing.
Oh, there will be arguments going forward with the vanilla-named College Football Playoff. There will be heated discussions about a deserving team or teams that didn't make the four-team playoff, the way there are with basketball teams that didn't get NCAA tournament bids. But, trust me, a four-team playoff eventually will become an eight-team playoff if there's more money it, and of course there is. The debate we enjoy now will be diluted. And college football will lose a little bit more of what makes it compelling.
As I write this Friday, nothing has been decided on this season's bowl schedule. Ohio State fans were still a bit nervous about the possibility of their first loss of the season. Auburn and Alabama fans were still pushing for a rematch. No. 1 Florida State was still weeping tears of joy that quarterback Jameis Winston won't face sexual-assault charges. Strange thing to be celebrating, but say hello to big-time college football, everybody.
Here's the larger point: The debate about who should play in what bowl will go on no matter who wins or who loses Saturday. A playoff offers some finality. There is no finite end, no terminus under the current system. It is more of a suggestion. It says to fans, ''You might want to consider one of these two teams as your national champion.''
No matter who wins the BCS Championship Game on Jan. 6, the debate over that team's worthiness likely will continue. Yes, next year's playoff system will bring arguments, just not as many.
Frankly, college games don't interest me nearly as much as NFL games do. If I don't have to see another ridiculously blown coverage, that would be fine with me. The warm feelings about the mascots, the fight songs and the sounds of school bands on game day? They never have done anything for me, but knock yourself out.
The ridiculous debates between the fans of one football factory and the fans of another football factory? Now you're talking.
College football is as much a participatory sport for the people who follow teams religiously as it is for the athletes who play the game. And it's about to die a little bit.
If there had been a playoff last year, Kirk Herbstreit's rant about Northern Illinois never would have happened, and a wonderfully spirited debate never would have happened, either. Remember? The ESPN analyst called the Huskies' invitation to a BCS game ''an absolute joke,'' ''a sad state for college football'' and an ''injustice.'' It was the most publicity NIU had received in years.
Under the playoff system, a selection committee will pick four teams to play for the national title. Those will be the only four teams that matter, and the debate will be settled on the field. Too bad.

Dr. Wallace: I know this is unusual, but I'm a 19-year-old young lady who is head over heels in love with a 14-year-old guy. And I know that he loves me, too. He is the brother of my former best friend. I say former because she deserted me when Steve and I started seeing one another.
It's hard for me to understand why I'm attracted to Steve, but I am. He is highly intelligent and very mature. In fact, I've never been around a guy as mature as Steve. He's wonderful and treats me like a queen. His parents are not thrilled that we date, but they have not interfered. We spend much of our time listening to music, going to concerts and movies and having snacks afterward.
My problem is that most of my friends think that I've got an emotional hang-up, and one by one they are leaving me. This bothers me very much. Not one of my friends will double date with Steve and me. What should I do? Stop seeing Steve, only because of his age, or keep losing my close friends? I had about 10, and I'm down to two and counting.
Abby, New Orleans
Abby: I understand that the "love bug" can bite anyone at any time, but I firmly believe that 19-year-olds should not be dating younger teens, regardless of their mental maturity. You are an adult and he is but a young boy. I'm not asking you to stop dating Steve because of your friends; I'm asking you to stop seeing him because of the age difference, which is significant.
Dr. Wallace: I'm 16 and had been dating Mario, who is 18, for over a year. He dumped me because he got "tired" of me. I was devastated and cried continually. I had a difficult time sleeping and hardly ate anything. That happened two months ago. I finally got over my depression and decided to go out with other guys. This made Mario upset because he is a very jealous guy.
Yesterday, he called me and said that if I went out with another guy, he would beat him up and then he would do the same to me. Mario is very strong and has a mean temper. What should I do? He doesn't want me, but he doesn't want anyone else to have me. Help!
Nameless, Del Rio, Texas
Nameless: This guy is a big bully and needs to be put in his place. Discuss things with your parents. And then contact your local police department and ask them to please contact Mario and inform him of the consequences if he should carry out his threat.
I'm sure they will remind him that he will be tried as an adult if he breaks the law.

ODDSLANE is a uniquely blended mix of driving rock & roll riffs and solid grooves
with an overall pop sensibility.They create music that fuses diverse influences from a
wide range of styles, but maintains the integrity of what has become their own original
sound. The band primarily focuses on the material of singer/songwriter Doug Byrkit,
who in 2003 co-founded the group with longtime musical partner Brian Zielie.
Doug & Brian are continuing their musical partnership with their first album as
