RJP commented on the blog post Worst President Ever, Revisited
Under Clinton & Gore Up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxed Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month — and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we PAID to the Federal government to 'put away' — you may be interested in the following: —- Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent 'Trust Fund' and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it? A:It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate.
Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding? A:The Democratic Party. —
Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities? A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the 'tie-breaking' deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants? AND MY FAVORITE: A: That's right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments! The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it! Then, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away! And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!
And don't even get me started on 'ObamaCare'! What a load of crap! Did YOU get your 'waiver' in the mail yet? Pelosi sent THOUSANDS of waivers to her 'constituents' & so did other dems…what's up with that? As she said 'Well, you will just have to PASS the bill to find out what's in it!' The woman is delusional, but hey! It worked!
Don't you think it's time we STOP 'the fox watching the hen house?'

Hey, when I put the ingredients in my brew software I got a 1.074 OG, is there something wrong with my software or is there a typo somewhere????
Is 165 degrees your mash temp?
I don't remember ever seeing a temp that high.
I'm confused by that as well - 165 can't be right?
Also, how does the Kölsch yeast behave at 70°? Is that the ambient temp, and the fermenter might even be 5° higher than that?
Thanks. I don't have true "temperature" control, I have a swamp cooler and some icepacks Do you have any recommendations on a clean ale yeast, or would it be better to steam brew it at ~60-65 with a lager yeast?
if you can do 60-65 go with the kolsch yeast
i apologize, i miss typed this recipe, and i didn't notice that, or the questions about this until today.
i heat the strike water to 165, which gives me a mash temp of around 150-155. i apologize for that typo/confusion.
as for the yeast, the temperature, and the other questions/concerns i've seen, here's my 2 cents. i've brewed this TONS of times. i usually rack out of the primary to the keg, and immediately brew and rack the new wort onto the yeastcake, because i can't hardly keep enough of this brew on tap to appease me, swmbo, and my friends appetites for it. it is very close to warsteiner dunkel, just a bit heavier, and more malty/flavorfull. i don't know how or why it works, but it does. like i said, i've brewed it many, many times, and it's delicious, and amazing. the only addition i will add to that, is as awesome as it tastes with only two or three weeks in the primary, then into the keg, it tastes even better with about one month of sitting carbed, in the keg. if anyone else has tried this recipe, or wants to, please, i encourage you to do so, and post up your tasting results, to help assure me i'm not crazy, because i've seen a lot of questions regarding my recipe, and my experience.
So I was reading about a sweet home bar in my new BYO magazine today and was surprised by the shout out to the death by dunkel, as I just recently tapped a version of this recipe.
So anyways cool bar and great beer! I used WLP800 instead of the kolsch yeast, and not using a starter I ended up with a bit of yeast character I wasn't expecting(maybe DMS). But it seems to compliment the beer well, really pronounces the malty flavor leading into a dry finish.

The New Year offers plenty of opportunities to make plans to improve your health - and focusing on dental care can make a big difference to your mouth.One resolution that could enhance your dental health is to make sure you visit a dentist at least twice in 2009, including a professional teeth cleaning."A prophylaxis, also known as a prophy or professional dental cleaning, reinforces the at-home oral health regimen," explains Academy of General Dentistry spokesperson Dr Anne Murray."It is designed to preserve health, prevent the spread of disease and give the dentist an opportunity to locate other areas in the mouth that may need attention."Preventive services offered at a typical teeth cleaning may include plaque and tartar removal, stain removal, the application of fluoride, sealants and the polishing of fillings and crowns.Meanwhile, diagnostic checks - such as x-rays, an oral cancer examination and an evaluation of gum tissue may also be carried out.Dental hygienists may also advise patients on issues such as dental care, nutritional counseling, dental hygiene, cosmetic dentistry and how to quit smoking.For more information on discount dental plans, call 1-888-632-5353.

About the Designer
British-based womenswear label Aganovich is a collaboration between the Central Saint Martins School of Art and Design alum Nana Aganovich and writer Brooke Taylor. When the duo joined forces in 2006, they began by basing their collections on Sisi Bogdanovich—a clownish femme fatale alter ego they conjured up. Today, Taylor continues to devise narratives that creative director Aganovich then translates into cerebral, conceptual clothes that play with proportion.

Ok. I'm going to try and make this short and sweet because I don't have a lot of time and chances are you probably don't either.
I recently visited my family in Georgia.
Both of my parents (and most of my extended family members) are obese, have been as long as I can remember. Nothing new there. My concern at the moment is for my brother. He is 23 years old and weighs around 340 pounds. He has always been 'big' but has put on about 150 of those pounds since graduating high school 5 years ago. What really concerned me while I was there was not necessarily WHAT he ate (I'm used to the 'southern menu') but how MUCH and how OFTEN!! I know that WHAT he's eating is a matter of preference and that will be harder to change. But the quantity is just a habit. He's USED to eating that much so he thinks he needs that much. Right?? That's how I was before I joined Spark and really learned what I needed.
I am truly concerned about his health and nutrition and want to help him understand how unhealthy his eating habits are and how badly he needs to work on changing those habits. I want to discuss it with him - I am going to discuss it with him. I feel like I have to because he's my brother and now that I'm (slightly) more knowledgeable about health and nutrition, not saying something seems irresponsible. I don't want the conversation to be about weight but about nutrition.
I'm sure many of you have been in similar situations. Maybe you've had this conversation with a friend/family member? Or maybe a friend or family member had to have this conversation with you? I don't want to offend him and I don't want to make him uncomfortable but I do want him to know that I'm worried and here to help if he wants to make a change. Do you have any advice? Suggestions? What SHOULD I say? What SHOULDN'T I say?
Thanks gang,
The following is an actual conversation I witnessed between my neighbor and her teenage son:
Mom: Clean your room.
Son: Yes, ma'am.
-one hour later-
Mom: I said, clean your room!
Son: I WILL!
Mom: Do it right now.
Son: Ok.
-one hour later-
Mom: Why is this room not clean??
Son: Oh..did you mean like......right now, right now???
Betcha didn't know there was a difference between 'right now' and 'right now, right now', did ya?? :)
I've been contemplating a challenge for myself. I keep saying...I'll start Monday. Or...I'll start tomorrow. I'm sure you've been there, yes? Funny how much drive and determination can be lost between right now and 'tomorrow' or 'Monday'.
Today, I realized that I need to start like...right now, right now. (Actually, I need to start like...yesterday, yesterday..but what can ya do?!?) I have to quit putting it off. It's far past time to get down to bizznass.
I've been very unsparkly lately. Logging on to check in with a friend or two, read my favorite bloggers new posts and..log back off. I need become more active. I don't mean giving goodies and changing my profile around. I mean by tracking my food to ensure consistency and reading fitness articles for new workout ideas.
This evening, I'm going to finalize the 'rules' of this personal challenge for myself and set a time line. I'll post details and make sure to track my results.
I'm excited to jump back into SparkPeople.com and use this wonderful site to my full advantage to finally reach my weight and fitness goals!
quick blog just to share a few pics :)

********DIY Challenge Entry Form******
My Challenge Name: Beach. People. Eyes.
My Starting Weight: 140
Four Other things I will be measuring during this challenge & their current stats:
1. the unwavering post-baby-belly-pooch (2" below navel) - 37.5"
2. upper thigh - 23.75"
4. Jog Ability - usually make it about 2 miles. Aiming for 3.
If I am going to be 100% honest with myself, the reason I am doing this challenge is because: I've been stuck in a rut for a while and I need something to shake me up. Because in 5 weeks I'll be going to beach with some of my best friends which means I'll have to wear a swimsuit. In public. In front of people. People who are ALIVE. And have EYES. So there��s that. Also, because I want to be able 100% (not 85%) comfortable with my body no matter what I'm wearing. Even if what I'm wearing is just a smile and stilettos.
I feel like the reason that I have not been progressing as well as I hoped I would be is because: 50 pounds ago I was disgusted with what I saw in the mirror. Now, I'm not. It's easy (ish) to go from 'disgusted' to 'okay' but (for me) it's proving to be much more difficult to transform my body from 'okay' to 'bangin'.
This time, I commit to finishing my challenge because I know that: in 5 weeks I'll be on South Beach with some hotties.
I'm scared of: my belly fat. It's so hard for women (generally speaking) to lose the fat that stores there. What if I can't do it?!?
I want to: have some Facebook worthy pictures of me on the beach. NOT standing behind anyone. NOT wearing a ridonkulous cover-up. NOT sucking in until my face turns purple waiting for the flash.
But I have faith in: a) Google - Google will help me find out just what I need to do, or NOT do, to lose the pooch. B) Sweat Sessions - can't hurt, right?!?
And THIS TIME, I will NOT quit, because THIS TIME: Uh - perhaps this is getting a little redundant but...because THIS TIME I'm going to the freaking beach. With people. People who are alive. And have eyes. Remember this?
My top five non-health related motivations right now are:
1. Again with this...Beach. People. Eyes. Ya dig?
2. High school reunion next spring. Did I mention my ex-husband and his new wife (aka, my former best friend and maid of honor at our wedding) will be there?!? Motivation? I think so.
3. Tattoo. I want a full back piece. But with this gut, I wouldn't be able to show it off. I want to lose the extra poundage so that I can finally get some new ink.
4. Trophy wife. DH is 16 years older than I am. He introduces me as his 'hot young biotch'. I wouldn't mind actually fitting that description. He deserves it.
5. Boy shorts. Sexiest underwear ever, yes? Yes. Except when wrapped around these thunder wonders I sometimes call 'thighs'.
The best way to motivate me is to: challenge me to do more. I'm the girl who runs through the neighborhood naked because someone double-dog-dared me to.
The best way I can motivate myself is to: look at a picture of myself in a bikini then look at a picture of Megan Fox in a bikini. Instant motivation.
My name is E and I will sweat.
My name is E and I will run.
My name is E and I will succeed.
My name is E and I will work hard.
My name is E and I will rock tha bikini.
My name is E and I will beat the pooch.
My name is E and I will finish.
My name is E and I will see an ab muscle or two.
My name is E and I will be back. Ha.
My name is E and I approve this message.
*disclaimer: this will only be a 5 week challenge for me. I guess this is me getting carried away with all the Do-It-Yourself-Ness. Vacation starts in 5 weeks, not 6, and as I just read yesterday in Yoovie's terriffic blog - "If I can't finish it, that is not an excuse to avoid starting it" Imma rock these 5 weeks and enjoy my vacation during week 6!!! Let's get it!!!
Step 2 - before pic. Done during yesterday's swimsuit shopping trip. Yikes.
Step 3 - Redec sparkpage - Done yesterday as well. Will make more changes tonight.
Step 4 - Printing a calender later today. Will buy stickers and jack the kid's crayons.
Step 5- Picked up a new water bottle last week. (It has a straw. Woot, Woot!)
Step 6 - This one's easy considering my iPod was jacked this weekend (from my car. in my driveway. ridiculous, no??), I'll be picking up a new one before Friday and will download plenty of jammin new tunes.
Step 7 - Workout clothes - washed.
Step 8 - Already subscribed to SELF and Fitness. May look in to SHAPE or Women's Health.
Done and DONE.
Let's GET IT!
These 2 words have motivated me more than anything...EVER. Motivated me to put together a strict diet and workout plan for the next 6 weeks.
Miami Beach.
Why is that so inspiring??
Uhm....because....I'm GOING!!!
That's right. Me. To Miami Beach.
No kids. No hubster. Just me and some of my besties.
For a whole 4 days, we're going to pretend like we don't have businesses to run or diapers to change or houses to clean or bills to pay. We're going to act like we did 5 years ago. We're going to drink beer with our lunch and cocktails with our dinner. We're going to nap. We're going to dance. We're going to party. We're going to sit on the beach and tan, and read and play volleyball. And (here comes the part that's got me all motivated to get my tone on) we're going to wear swimsuits! Eeeeeeeeeek!!!!
Just when I think I'm looking pretty good and maybe I can slack off a little, ya know what snaps me back to reality?? Swimsuit shopping. I put on a swimsuit...I look in the mirror and...all of a sudden from out of no where, I hear that crazy music from the shower scene in Psycho blaring over the loudspeakers and it makes me scream, or cry, or both and frantically reach for something with which to cover up the frightfulness before my eyes. (A tad melodramatic? Yes. But seriously...it depresses me.)
And I'll be damned if I'm going to spend my first real vacation in 4 years worrying about whether I'm sticking my ass out enough to keep my cellulite from showing or whether I sucked in my belly pooch enough before someone snapped a picture.
So...it's on like Donkey Kong.
My name will be sononomous with sweat. My workouts will be considered cruel and unusual punishment. My diet will be void of 'extras'. It will be bland and boring and I will hate it. But it will be nutritious and sufficient.
Sidenote: if you now feel the need to lecture me on the unsustainability of such a diet, please feel free to NOT do so. I understand. This is temporary. I will not starve myself or in any way neglect my body's nutritional requirements. (I kinda love myself too much to treat me too bad.) I simply will not indulge myself either. I'm working towards a goal. It will be met.
Moving on.
I've been eating well and working out regularly for 2 years. About 8 months ago I hit 140 pounds. And here I am today at, drumroll please......140 pounds. I have been maintaing without making the concious decision to do so. I haven't REALLY been pushing myself on the diet or exercise front. I will use this trip as the extra push I need to really work for some forward progress.
It's time to take some 'before' pics and it's time to MAKE some after pics!
Related note: I need recommendations for somewhere to stay! Preferably a beach house, condo or multi-room hotel suite. Anyone got any insight?!?!?!

Charlotte-area residents can stick with the shorts and T-shirts for the rest of the week, forecasters say, with the region getting its first taste of warm weather in 2014.
The jet stream, which has sent repeated bouts of cold weather into the Carolinas since early January, has switched into springtime mode. That means several days of 80 degrees or warmer for the region.
Charlotte hasn't experienced an 80-degree day since Oct. 11, but meteorologists said high temperatures could equal or surpass that mark any day through Thursday.
Forecasters say overnight lows, which were in the 30s earlier this week, also will moderate into the 50s. The next chance of rainfall will come Friday, when a cold front pushes across the region.
Meteorologists said a return to cooler weather is likely early next week, with highs returning to the 60s.

The Reginald F. Lewis Museum celebrates the achievements of African Americans, especially those from Maryland?which often means expanding on grade-school history lessons. For instance, Betsy Ross is typically credited with making the first American flag. However, one of the museum's rotating exhibits reveals that Grace Wisher, an African American indentured servant, also worked on the original star spangled banner. Dubbed "For Whom It Stands: The Flag and the American People," that exhibit was recognized as one of the country's best in the summer of 2014 by USA Today?in part because it featured a scrap of the real, first flag, covered in the bald eagle feathers that filled the air back then. That's just one of the myriad rotating exhibits that the museum has hosted, to complement permanent collections that highlight Maryland African Americans' endurance through two centuries of slavery, and their artistic and intellectual innovations.
What sets your business apart from your competition?
A Smithsonian affiliate, the museum is the east coast?s largest African-American museum. Besides rotating exhibitions, enjoy live musical performances from gospel jazz to steel drums. Films in our theater have enriched audiences on the history of soul food, civil rights, and more. For families, programs like art workshops and living history bring our mission to life. Lectures and our resource center enrich what you'll find in our permanent collection. We also nourish the body with the best soul food in Baltimore at our museum cafe. Visit our website for a full calendar of events.
What was the inspiration for starting this business?
To showcase the rich contributions of Maryland African Americans, from Harriet Tubman and Thurgood Marshall to the unsung heroes who helped make Maryland what it is today.
What?s your favorite part about your job?
Having people experience something new, different, and enriching to their lives.
A long fly ball from Oriole Park could hit the row house where, on February 6, 1895, Babe Ruth entered the world and sent chills down the spines of pitchers and outfielders across the country. After the legend earned more than 700 home runs and 2,200 RBIs, his career ended and his life faded, leaving his birthplace to fall into disrepair. In the late 1960s, a campaign restored both it and the adjoining structures to create the Babe Ruth Birthplace Museum. Babe's widow, daughters, and sister collaborated with the museum founders to create exhibits commemorating the record breaker's life and career, filling glass cases with balls and jerseys and restoring his bedroom to how it would have looked the year that the stork pitched the little Bambino through the window.
Originally, this museum also explored the history of the Baltimore Orioles—Ruth's first professional team—and hosted the Baltimore Colts' archives. Its quickly growing collection of artifacts, however, soon led to the need for a larger location. In 2005, the Babe Ruth Birthplace Museum retained those items relating to its titular legend while the rest found a new home in the Sports Legends Museum. This museum occupies the basement and first floor of the historic Camden Station, sprawling throughout 22,000 square feet with exhibits that delve into subjects such as the history of baseball in Maryland and collegiate ball.
The American Visionary Art Museum devotes its space to original work by self-taught artists who honed their craft—often unintentionally—while operating on the outskirts of the formal art world. As temporary exhibitions explore a particular artist or theme in depth, the permanent collection displays thousands of powerful and often whimsical items, such as Andrew Logan's mirror-winged Black Icarus, or the haunting Applewood Figure, an emaciated sculpture said to wince whenever someone eats a piece of fruit. The museum spreads its arresting pieces throughout three historical buildings, including the expansive main building, which boasts a reflective mirrored-mosaic exterior and neighbors the Tall Sculpture Barn, an ex-whiskey warehouse fully equipped with 45-foot ceilings for large-scale projects. A wildflower garden—complete with meditation chapel—and a sculpture plaza featuring a 55-foot whirligig beckon visitors to the museum's outdoor space, where envious clouds shape themselves into crude versions of Pietà. Completing any trip, the museum's Sideshow gift shop stuffs shopping bags with an ever-rotating collection of eclectic artwork, jewelry, toys, and more.
The Star-Spangled Banner Flag House was built in 1793, originally owned by the Young-Pickersgill family. Mary Pickersgill, maker of the Star-Spangled Banner Flag, is among the historical figures portrayed. Mary and her family?including her mother, Rebecca Young, and her apprentice, Grace Wisher?describe life in the 19th century and how Mary stitched the flag that inspired Francis Scott Key's poem and the national anthem.
After exploring the house on 30- to 40-minute self-guided or docent-led tours, guests can learn about America's defense of the Chesapeake Bay against the British navy, which culminated in the battle that inspired Key's verse. The first floor's permanent exhibition gallery focuses on that defense with artifacts such as a drum used by an American soldier during the bombardment of Ft. McHenry. Kid attendees, meanwhile, can head over to the Discovery Gallery to whip up a pretend meal at a replica of the Flag House kitchen or design their own flag to string up on the gallery's flagpole.
Since 1844, Maryland Historical Society has kept residents connected to their state's heritage by publishing educational books and a quarterly magazine. These days, its museum brings that archived history to life with more than 350,000 objects, most notably the oldest-known surviving manuscript of Francis Scott Key's "The Star-Spangled Banner," which includes its original, crossed out title, "Get Ready for Baseball, America." Guests can also marvel at artifacts ranging from 900 pieces of furniture made between 1634 and 2000 to more than 2,000 paintings, including seven by Joshua Johnson, America's first professional African American portrait painter. Meanwhile, its Civil War exhibit occupies more than 5,000 square feet with 3-D video presentations. The society also sponsors extensive educational programs that enlighten young students with field trips, plus adult programs that include lectures, concerts, and symposia.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
Re: [Fwd: Re: [OS] IRAN/SYRIA - President of Iran meets Nasrallah in the presence of President Al-Assad]
Released on 2012-10-19 08:00 GMT

from a political advisor to Bashar:
Ahmadinejad's visits to Syria are routine, and they almost always
announce in advance Iran's intention of supporting Syria against foreign
pressures. This time, Ahmadinejad will express Iran's support for Syria in
the event of war with Israel, which the Iranians have been drumming up.
There is another concern for the Iranians. They want to make sure that
Syria's relations with Iran will not change for worse after president
Obama's announcement about designating a new US ambassaodr to Syria.
The Libyans and Iranians want next Arab summit to explicitly mention its
support for the anti-Israeli resistance, be it at the level of state or
militant movements. Arabs are still trying to set up next summit's agenda,
and this is the reason for the hurried visits. By the way, Asad was in
Libya last month for this purpose, and very soon Mahmud Abbas will visit
Damascus, again for the same reason.
another issue they're discussing is how Lebanon votes in the UNSC on Iran
sanctions. Nasrallah has told Saad al Hariri that abstention is not an
option. They want a veto. ADogg is there to pressure them as well.

First Financial Holdings, Inc F2Q10 (Qtr End 09/30/10) Earnings Call Transcript
While our markets have clearly suffered as a result of the recession, according to the Charleston Chamber of Commerce's Centre for Business Research and the College of Charleston, School of Business and Economics, the outlook for 2010 is stable with expansion beginning the end of the year and gaining strength in 2011. We are encouraged by the slight improvements in South Carolina unemployment rates over the last two periods. But we recognized that the states' economy remains fairly fragile. Unemployment in the counties in which we operate have shown a slight improvement over the past few months as well as Boeing's construction of the $750 million aircraft assembly operation for the 787 aircraft is well underway. This investment will create as I think we have reported in the past as many as 3,800 new direct jobs in the market.
This decision by Boeing is expected to significantly improve Charleston's economy over the next decade and attract thousands of additional jobs from suppliers and other support companies. Unfortunately, the commercial real estate market is expected to continue to decline through 2010, a retail sales in our primary market are focused to grow in both 2010 and 2011. Part of this increase is expected from a boost in our tourism sector from a new carnival cruise business that was announced recently.
Approximately 69 ships with 2000 visitors per week will be calling on the Charleston port. The economic impact of the carnival ships will be about $37 million per year. In addition, the Port of Charleston recently announced a new Asia service for China and South Korea and also announced a 24% increase in container volume gain from the period of March last year. We believe these current expansion plans along with interest in our markets will help with our recovery as we continue to work through these economic challenges. The Charleston real estate market continues to be one of the top real estate markets in the country. The losses for the quarter have been driven by higher loan loss provisions related to the continued stress on our loan portfolio resulting from economic and unemployment considerations discussed above.

He seems sincere, and appears to be sobered by his experience. That's not a joke, really. Hopefully he will have changed for the better and it's good that he recognizes he probably shouldn't wrestle full time any more.
He'll be TNA champion by this time next year.

I'm not completely sure I understand the terminology, so I was hoping to get some help/verification regarding FHA's requirement of "gross monthly salary must be greater than 31% of the sum of the monthly mortgage plus monthly taxes" , and "gross monthly salary must be greater than 43% of the sum of the monthly mortgage plus monthly taxes and monthly debt payments". I earn $2,700 gross monthly. The home I'm wanting to purchase is $85,000. With 3.5% down, my actual loan would be about $82,000. I'm planning on going thru FHA for a 15 yr. fixed at say 3.5 interest (hopefuly the rates will be in that ballpark come Feb.). My only other monthly payments will be $288 for auto and $45 on credit card. Based on these figures, I "think" I'm OK, but wanted someone who's much sharper than me at this stuff to verify. My credit score is 685. THANKS

My understanding of this using your front/back end ratios below is that your mortgage payment would have to be $837 or less including PITI plus HOAs if applicable (front end). Also all of your monthly debt including your mortage payment/housing cost would need to be under $1161 per month (back end). That being said if you make it through automated underwriting and have a mid score of at least 640 you may have much greater flexibility on the back end ratio, depending on the lender. My MO has also said in casual conversation that he's seen applicants get approved with a 48% back end ratio.
I don't think anyone can answer your question for sure about your numbers specifically without the estimated mortgage payment including tax, insurance, and HOA fees.
Thanks for your response. The "front end" figure of $837 is what I came up with also. Regarding other issues, there is no HOA involved and annual taxes are estimated to be $1,260 (or $105 monthly).
The numbers on your GFE should be very close to the actual payment....easy to remember front end= just the total mortgage back end= house + "debts"

A little while ago, Amealia Meath, of the Vermont folk harmonizers Mountain Man, and Nick Sanborn, of the rootsy North Carolina psychedelic rockers Megafaun, teamed up to form the duo Sylvan Esso, and their self-titled debut together is an absolutely winning collection of glimmering, low-key synthpop. Their music is somehow, at the same time, smooth and ramshackle, and the same could be said of the way they looked making their network TV debut on The Tonight Show last night. Performing the album standout "Coffee," with Jimmy Fallon's bandleader ?uestlove sitting in on drums, they came off endearingly gawky but also self-assured, and they sounded great. Watch the performance below.
Sylvan Esso is out now on Partisan.

World Stock Markets Rise After Fed Chief's Speech
South Korea's Kopsi index jumped 2.8 percent to 1,829.50. Leading shipbuilder Hyundai Heavy Industries Co. soared 9.1 percent. Hynix Semiconductor, the world's second-largest memory chip maker, jumped 8.4 percent on brighter chip price forecasts, Yonhap News agency said. Refinery SK Innovation rose 7.1 percent.
Gold shares rose after prices of the precious metal rebounded Friday after a volatile week. Newcrest Mining Ltd., Australia's largest gold miner, rose 1.5 percent. Hong Kong-listed Zijin, China's top gold miner, was 1.2 percent higher. Hong Kong jewelry chain Chow Sang Sang Holdings gained 4.7 percent.
Other Australian metals shares rose on the back of higher commodities prices. BHP Billiton Ltd., the world's largest mining company, rose 1.3 percent. Rio Tinto Ltd. gained 2.1 percent.
Mainland Chinese shares lost ground, with the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index falling 1.4 percent to 2,576.41. T he Shenzhen Composite Index slipped 0.9 percent, to 1,159.52. Shares in food and traveling related companies advanced on expectations upcoming holidays will boost demand, while shares in financial companies weakened."Property shares were sold on speculation the government might impose a windfall profits tax levy which could lead to a quite serious funds shortage," said Peng Yunliang, an analyst based in Shanghai. Poly Real Estate dropped 3.5 percent while industry leader China Vanke fell 2.5 percent. China International Travel Service Corp. Ltd. gained 3.7 percent. On Friday, the Dow Jones industrial average rose 1.2 percent to close at 11,284.54. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 1.5 percent to 1,176.80. The technology-heavy Nasdaq composite index rose 2.5 percent to 2,479.85. The Fed has said it plans to keep short-term interest rates low until mid-2013. Low rates on investments like bonds make higher-risk bets such as stocks more attractive. The U.S. economy is still hobbled by a depressed housing market, high oil prices and fears that the European debt crisis will deteriorate into a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis.

It took a while to adjust to holiday specials airing in November. I remember having only one chance to catch these programs as a kid, and that made them a little more special.As the flood of seasonal mirth begins, it's tricky to sift through all the different programs now available 24/7.When choosing what to watch, avoid any sequels or live-action remakes.

2014 Ford Fusion hybrid review: Best midsize hybrid in a crowded field August 22, 2013 at 11:45 am

2014 Nissan Versa review: Top subcompact with unique tech, modest performance August 5, 2013 at 2:25 pm
The 2014 Nissan Versa Note is one of the best subcompacts you can purchase today if your requirements are as follows: cheap to buy, cheap to run, lots of room, and as much tech as you can get in a small, entry-level car … and you want transportation not excitement.

Windows 8.1 multi-monitor Desktop hands-on review (video) July 3, 2013 at 10:39 am
A week ago, Microsoft released Windows 8.1 Preview, an upgrade to Windows 8 that makes the new operating system a lot more usable for Desktop users, and users who prefer to use a mouse and keyboard. I've now been running the Preview for a week on a dual-monitor mouse-and-keyboard setup, and except for a couple of small bugs it's a surprisingly large improvement over Windows 8.1.
Windows 8.1 Desktop review: It's finally safe to upgrade from Windows 7, folks (updated with video) June 27, 2013 at 12:26 pm
Yesterday, Microsoft released the preview version of Windows 8.1. I've now been using it for almost 24 hours on my main desktop PC with two monitors (neither of them touchscreens), and I can safely say that Windows 8.1 drastically improves the experience for mouse-and-keyboard users, and users who do most of their work on the Desktop. SkyDrive integration is awesome, the Start button — despite the lack of Start menu — is surprisingly functional, and improved split-screening means Desktop users can now actually use Metro apps without being forced into full-screen mode.

Back and neck injury commonly occurs at work and the injured person may file a back injury compensation claim or workers compensation back injury claim. A neck injury lawyer or back injury attorney can help you with a neck injury settlement or back injury settlement.
Back and neck injuries are often caused by car accidents, during a slip and fall accident at work, and sports injuries. If the back and neck injury occurs outside of work and is the result of someone else's negligence or on someone else's property, the injured person may be entitled to file a personal injury claim to a neck or back injury settlement.
Back and Neck Injuries
The back and neck can sustain a number of injuries, including muscle strains, bone fractures, ligament tears, and nerve damage. Some common back and neck injuries include:
Most people recover from whiplash within six months or so, but some victims—usually older people or people who had a history of neck pain or back problems before the accident—never fully recover.
A back or neck injury, from whiplash to spinal cord injury, can cause pain and suffering and significant life changes, including economic loss. In addition to medical expenses, you may be unable to work. A neck and back injury attorney can ensure that your wage losses are compensable under your accident/injury claim with an insurance company.
Sometimes insurance companies, and even doctors or therapists hired by your Workers' Compensation insurance company may attempt to discredit or downplay your injury; it is important that a personal injury lawyer helps you deal with these insurance companies.
Most importantly, an experienced back and neck injury attorney will help maximum pain and suffering recovery with your neck and back injury compensation claim: Sometimes it takes years to recover from an accident. An attorney will take into consideration all future medical expenses, wage loss and pain and suffering that must be fully paid by the insurance company and/or parties responsible for your injuries in your back injury settlement or neck injury settlement.
