Can I do a cash-out refinance with a low credit score?
The latest question submitted to our "Ask the Expert" form is regarding a homeowner who wants to do a cash-out refinance but has a low credit score. Here's the question and answer:
Q: Can I do a cash-out refinance with a low credit score if my home is paid off?
A: For an owner-occupied, single-family home, a cash-out refinance is certainly possible, if less available than in years past. Depending on how low it is, your credit score will of course affect the interest rate and fees on the mortgage, but provided it's above FICO 620 it should not prevent you from obtaining a conventional loan.
How much can I get?
While the amount you can obtain in a cash-out refinance will probably not exceed 65 percent to 75 percent of the value of the home, it will of course be your income and other debts which determine how much new mortgage you can support.
Shop around
You'll also need to shop around to find a mortgage lender that will lend to someone with a low credit score. Not all lenders will entertain borrowers with low credit scores, even if Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will technically allow scores down to the FICO 620 level. Mortgage lenders continue to utilize "add-ons" -- markups on the credit score, equity stake, or both -- to try to protect themselves against future loan failures.
The FHA's rules
The FHA also allows for cash-out refinances for owner-occupied principal residences. The requirements are:
- No late payments on any existing mortgage in the last 12 months (not a problem for you, since you have no mortgage now)
- You can borrow up to 85 percent of the value of the home (again, your income will determine how much you can actually borrow)
- And a low FICO score does not produce a penalty in the interest rate or fees. The FHA will technically back loans with FICO scores down into the 500s, but add-ons from wary lenders usually mean the FICO-score minimum is 600 or even higher.
- All FHA loans require mortgage insurance, which can be a little pricey and is non-cancelable
Step 1: Improve your credit
If your credit score is lower than about 550, you'll need to take some time and care to improve your score up to these minimum levels before you'll be successful at a cash-out refinance, but talk to some lenders about your prospects as soon as you can so you know how close or how far away you might be.

Hi, my name is Reina!
I was rescued almost a year ago from a high-kill shelter in Kentucky by the Kirkaldy family in Middlebury, and so far my training of them has gone well. They have learned not to leave any food out anywhere, even high up on kitchen counters; to lock the trash away when they leave the home; and not to leave any shoes where I can find them, take them into the back yard and chew them up. Sometimes they call me Chewbacca, because for a while I also gnawed on furniture.

Terminix lives out its motto, "power over pests," by providing extermination services for termites, bedbugs, and other common household insects, backed by a comprehensive money-back guarantee. In an initial inspection appointment, certified inspectors scan quarters for warning signs, such as termite-style wood damage and empty black-widow terrariums. Terminix's primary strategy, viable for most pests, pivots on a liquid defense system applied to the soil that surrounds homes. The liquid coats passing arthropods in pesticide, which they then transmit to their peers. Baited traps supplement the liquid system, luring in bugs from strategic positions near food-filled locales, such as refrigerators and beanbag chairs stuffed with baked beans. Bug banishers can also spray bedbug-infested rooms with Rapid Freeze carbon dioxide, which ices both the bugs and their eggs.
Brandley Inspections owner Cory Brandley works directly with clients to eradicate current pests and prevent future infestations. Fully licensed and insured, the team's bug stoppers address home invasions, finding, removing, and sternly lecturing roaches, spiders, crickets, centipedes, karma chameleons, and more. The quest takes the technicians inside interior baseboards, plumbing voids, weep holes, outside porches, and around garages to excavate creepy crawlers that may have breached the surface. After a thorough clean sweep, the crew spreads a repellant liquid perimeter, a step that deters future unwelcome housemates from inviting themselves in.
For 25 years, the landscaping experts at Turf Pros have kept their clients' lawns looking their best via services such as fertilization, weed control, and aeration. Lawns take on healthy and lush appearances after the crew makes frequent visits to mow grass, fertilize it, and prevent the spread of weeds. For homes and businesses the team also tackles lawn issues such as fungus, diseases, and pests, including the termites that are eating your decorative sculpture of George Washington's teeth.
Summit Pest Control's has regular maintenance programs available where state-licensed and state-certified technicians create barriers that keep bugs, pests, and critters from invading living spaces. The treatment provides multiple levels of protection, beginning with granules that form a perimeter around homes to protect against pests, narrowing in on eaves, where spiders and wasps often gather to discuss the uprising to overthrow the yard's dictator raccoon. Techs also treat the base of the building with a power spray that acts as an invisible force field to keeps bugs from penetrating the exterior. On the interior, attics, baseboards, and garages are treated. Termite inspections and corrective services are also available.
For more than four decades, Weed Man Lawn Care's licensed and trained lawn-beautifying experts have tended to local lawns with custom blends of fertilizer, environmentally sound pest-control solutions, and knowledge gleaned from both living and working in the community. Created exclusively for Weed Man, the technicians' slow-release granular fertilizer nurtures lawns over a period of several weeks, and seeding and aeration promote continued green growth. Advice that aims to assist with local lawn problems helps inform patrons online, illuminating seasonal troubles, gardening trends, and the astrological signs of various plants
Armies of ants, pet-hopping fleas, and skittering roaches are just a few of the undesirables that Moms Pest Control banishes from homes. In addition to treating interiors, technicians also work in outdoor areas, driving away snakes, gophers, and giant hookah-smoking caterpillars. The staffers at Moms Pest Control are committed to safety, and they only use products that have a minimal environmental impact.

You Think You Know Miranda Lambert?
You may claim to be Miranda Lambert's biggest fan, but we've dug up a few tidbits about the sexy singer that may surprise you! You Think You Know Country? covers everything from the star's homelessness to her early fashion woes -- some rare Lambert trivia.
Chase Bryant, 'Take It on Back' [Listen]
Chase Bryant's new song, 'Take It on Back' hits on some of the most classic themes in country music, in a totally new way. This country newcomer has found a way to combine classic country and modern rock to create a song that sounds just like something that will make fans want to instantly roll down their windows and blast from their car stereo.
Brett Eldredge, 'Mean to Me' [Listen]
If Brett Eldredge is trying to become country music's next great romantic, it's working. 'Mean to Me' is his follow-up to back-to-back No. 1 hits. Make it three straight love songs for this Midwestern Romeo.
Sam Hunt, 'Leave the Night On' [Listen]
'Leave the Night On' -- Sam Hunt's first single on MCA Nashville -- brings a new sound to country radio.
Album Spotlight: Miranda Lambert, 'Platinum'
Miranda Lambert's fifth studio album 'Platinum' presents a more emotionally centered 30-year-old. Few songs cut deep lyrically, but the singer hardly plays it safe.
Hunter Hayes, 'Storyline' – Everything You Need to Know in 30 Seconds or Less
Hunter Hayes' second studio album hits stores on Tuesday (May 6), and if you're on the fence about picking it up because you're not sure what to expect from 'Storyline,' this is your 30-second solution. But listen closely, or you're going to miss a few important details.

2014 ACM Awards Best Dressed Pictures
Blues and deep reds were popular amongst the best dressed at the 2014 ACM Awards on Sunday night.
2014 ACM Awards Worst Dressed Pictures
Men dominate the 2014 ACM Awards Worst Dressed list. Someone needs to work with these guys to make a few adjustments, because each is really not that far away from drifting down the red carpet unnoticed at worst. There is one female star on our list of fashion felons. Four of these five makes one mistake, while one becomes the first person to make both Best and Worst lists.
ToC Encore: Country Duets and the Trouble They Create
There have been some wonderful country duets in recent years. Collaborations between Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood, Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson come to mind, but these songs (and others like 'Highway Don't Care') take some serious coordination.

Specific legal form of organization of persons and material resources, chartered by the state, for the purpose of conducting business. As contrasted with the other two major forms of business ownership, the sole proprietorship and the partnership, the corporation has several characteristics that make it a more flexible instrument for large-scale economic activity. Chief among these are limited liability, transferability of shares (rights in the enterprise may be transferred readily from one investor to another without constituting legal reorganization), juridical personality (the corporation itself as a fictive person has legal standing and may thus sue and be sued, make contracts, and hold property), and indefinite duration (the life of the corporation may extend beyond the participation of any of its founders). Its owners are the shareholders, who purchase with their investment a share in the proceeds of the enterprise and who are nominally entitled to a measure of control over its financial management. Direct shareholder control became increasingly impossible in the 20th century, however, as the largest corporations came to have tens of thousands of shareholders. The practice of proxy voting by management was legalized and adopted as a remedy, and today salaried managers exercise strong control over the corporation and its assets.

An American post-apocalyptic zombie comedy movie directed by Ruben Fleischer
< read all 28 reviewsI can't believe the hate this flick is getting, for me it was zombie comedy heaven all wrapped up in a nice new package. We've seen zombies presented in all sorts of ways before but generally we get them in the same old unimaginative way; people get trapped in a house or other edifice and try to fight them off. Yeah. I saw that back in the 1960s and I've been ready for something else for a long time now so I appreciate any new twist to the formula no matter how slight. The twist here is that ZOMBIELAND is character driven. If it weren't for its 2 main characters, Columbus and Tallahassee, this flick wouldn't be half as interesting as it is. Columbus is an agoraphobic kid who has managed to survive the zombie apocalypse because he has never trusted anyone and by strict adherence to a set of rules he's devised. Tallahassee is just a mean son of bitch who would survive ANY apocalypse. The other twist (and what might be irking zombie fans who don't want a story with their carnage) is that ZOMBIELAND is a horror flick wrapped around a coming of age film. But don't let that put you off in spite of what you might read elsewhere because ZOMBIELAND has more blood and guts and zombie kills during the credits than most films have in their first hour plus it has a finale of nearly unequaled slaughter, numerical speaking. It also has the most bombastic hero ever to level a shotgun at the walking (or sprinting) dead in the form of Tallahassee, Woody Harrelson in a role that would revive anybodies sagging career. Does it have flaws? Sure it does. For one thing it could have given us more Harrelson but maybe in the end it's better to leave your audience wanting more than to wear out your welcome.
It may not be as clever as FIDO,as consistent as SHAUN OF THE DEAD, or as outrageous as DEAD-ALIVE but this is a pretty damned good flick with some serious laughs, some funny kills, and a zombie slaughtering hero par excellence and you really ought to see it in the theater.
Highly recommended: 4.5 rounded up.
HYPE Level: High and Well Deserved

text: boxing barlowSkelton is well finished and this is a total mismatch. To be fair to Selton he was able to give most fighters a hard time going back a few years and for someone coming into the sport like he did he achieved a lot in getting a world title shot, giving the champ a heard night, then grabbing the euro title. But the writing was on the wall when he got knocked out by Rogan, and he's looked worse and worse in every fight since. Posted October 24, 2012 8:41 amDennosvdc – Price wasted a few years with tv deals falling through. I believe he was with Adam Booth for a while and barely fought, then had a tv deal with Setanta, who went bust, and then his last promoter lost his tv contract with Sky. There's an article on this in the latest Boxing Monthly where Price explains what happened. At least he seems to be fighting more often now. Posted October 24, 2012 7:26 amsvdcfight aficionado – for me the question is: howcome he only has 14 fights being almost 30? Posted October 24, 2012 6:56 amMick the MarmalizerThe truth of the matter is that Price wants the Lonsdale belt out-right & the only way he can get it is by fighting who the BBBofC nominate. Posted October 24, 2012 5:14 amFight AficionadoPrice has only had 14 pro bouts. His level of comp is solid for this stage of his career. Better to call out these other prospects like Wilder and Rodriguez. Posted October 23, 2012 8:43 pmhucksterWilder-Price who is more chinny? who gets tagged first? Posted October 23, 2012 11:23 amcoachHe needs sterner tests kosciuszkoAgree with a lot of posters here, shame on Price for taking this fight. Skelton is well passed his prime at 45, and is tailor made for someone like Price. What on earth will Price prove with this fight? That he can beat worn out and battered 40+ year olds pretty handily? Well done! So can my nan! theyiddoAs much as I like Skelton (no one can deny he gives it everything in every fight), he is way way past his prime – and this is not a good match up. If Price is on his toes, he should end this one in the early to middle rounds (and thats only because Skelton has a decent chin). Hardly the sort of fight to get Price noticed and move him up the rankings….and certainly not a fight worth paying a subscription to Boxnation (or however it is) Posted October 23, 2012 8:19 amDaraPrice is nearly 30 and he has not fought a warm body yet. Shocking hype job for a nice guy Posted October 23, 2012 6:02 amVinceAs soon as Price takes a big punch on the button… It's a question of who from this viewpoint. Won't be Skelton. Posted October 23, 2012 4:28 amflydogI understand Price has only had 14 or so fights but Skelton, really?? We all got very bored years ago with the whole Harrison/Williams/Skelton/Sprott merry-go-round. I really can't be doing with Skelton getting another opportunity like this. I know he has experience of sorts but he was never a high-achiever and surely Price's people could find him competative, learning fights against other young heavyweights, couldn't they?!?! Posted October 23, 2012 4:24 amMick the MarmalizerIf it is a 1st round farce then price should be back in the ring by January at the latest. I hope Malloney has it covered. Posted October 23, 2012 3:28 amMike DinoI fully understand that Price is inexperienced and needs to remain active, but Skelton was never any good and is completely shot. Pointless fight and another first round blitz. Posted October 23, 2012 12:01 amPrice v SkeletonSkeleton can't take a solar plexus shot,Barry McGuigan. Posted October 22, 2012 11:42 pmPrice v SkeletonSkeleton has no guts. Posted October 22, 2012 11:37 pmCarterApparently, team Price has finally realized they have to get David in the ring more often to build up his empty resume at 29. The choice of Skelton looks like a ruch job for a bigger opponent. Posted October 22, 2012 9:52 pmprideofvirginiabeachPrice needs to just blast Skelton into retirement and then really step up. He's 29 and can't waste his career knocking off has-beens until the Klitschkos go away. I mean it's possible Wlad could be around another five years and it would make him look like no more a ducking punk than Povetkin. It's time to get Fury, Pulev, Wilder, or Mitchell in there for a fight that leads to a title fight. Posted October 22, 2012 8:56 pmBeer party aka Unbiased DanePopkins: What does Vitali´s opponents have to do with Prices ? Adamek and Solis are still levels above a 40 year old Harrison and a 45 year old Skelton. Why not look at how many fights Vitali had in the first 3½ year of his career compared to that of Price ?. The Klitschko´s, Lennox, Tyson, Foreman, Ali all the great champions went true a lot of fights in the first 3 years of their career, at this point its strange why Price is wasting his time on the likes of Harrison and Skelton. Posted October 22, 2012 7:48 pmGonzo the DragonbornPrice vs that lanky chinless wonder Wilder or Seth "I was a punch away from Bolivian against Chaz Witherspoons" Mitchell? lol. Price would steamroller both of them inside a round or two. lol. Posted October 22, 2012 6:02 pmPopkinsIn all fairness to Price, soon he'll have wiped the floor with both Harrison and Skelton in the space of 2 months – in his 14th and 15th fights. Now at the elite level, in the last 2 years, Vitali has beaten Manuel Charr (?), a guy with only 15 wins – Chisora, a former light heavy/cruiser in Adamek, a slightly overweight Solis, a shell of an old man in Briggs, and Alber Sosnowski (?!)….Vitali has been widely regarded as the best heavyweight since Lewis and has over 40 fights, and look at his opposition over the last 2 years. Exactly. Price has had 14 fights – the guy's progressing pretty damn well. Posted October 22, 2012 3:53 pmTARKI have a better idea… Why not match Matt Skelton against Sherman Williams and David Price vs Robert Helenius??? … Oh yeah, I know why. That matchup already occurred to every fan out there. Hmmm… Posted October 22, 2012 3:25 pmBoxfan11I love Price, but I wanted to see him face Fury, Boytsov, Wilder etc. anybody but skelton Posted October 22, 2012 3:22 pmTokolosWhat is bombing out grandad Skelton going to prove or improve? Price's team know something we suspect-no chin. Mugging old has beens proves nothing, this is boxing not beat a pensioner. Posted October 22, 2012 3:15 pmPopkinsPeople may think Price is getting too much hype. But c'mon guys, in the last 10 years, outside of the Ring Champs (Lewis, Vitali and Wlad), Price is the best looking talent the heavyweight division has seen. After a string of podgy guys like Solis, Arreola, Peter, etc etc, little guys like Haye, Byrd, Adamek and Toney, and oldies like Ruiz, Rahman, Briggs etc etc…..it's good to finally have an athletic, big, undefeated guy at Heavy who has a decent punch…a bit of hope at last. Posted October 22, 2012 2:00 pmPopkinsSkelton is a durable opponent. His boxing age isn't as old as his actual age. Glad Price is keeping busy too. Skelton is about right for him at the mo. I'm sure his management will soon step things up for him – it's only the guy's 15th fight! Posted October 22, 2012 1:52 pmdwcThe only decent thing about this fight is Price isnt wasteing much time getting back into the ring.But having said that Price needs a nice step-up after this.I would like to see him moved abit faster myself but I belive Price does have good skills and his power is real.His future should be bright but hes getting to the light at a snails pace. Posted October 22, 2012 1:33 pmozzyI'm all for modern day boxers to fight more frequently so I was glad to see Price getting back into the ring so swiftly however I'm not sure fighting Skelton will learn him much. However if David makes sure Matt Skelton retires after this then he will have done his country a tremendous service – indeed we may see his name in the New Year's Honours list! Posted October 22, 2012 1:29 pmSt. GeorgeMick, that's true, its funny how a lot of Americans like trashing Price because he's a brit and brits like doing the same to Wilder as retaliation but these two have a lot more in common than not. But I still think the parallel I drew between Foreman and price and wilder is very apparent, a string of quick + explosive kos and not much experience being gained in the ring. Although these two get so much criticism for not facing quality opposition I have to say its ironic that it can't be denied they've been getting top notch sparring so far Posted October 22, 2012 1:20 pmGumboot"Sent shockwaves through the heavyweight division"…what? That's your assessment of Prices KO of Fraudley? FFS! Hype is one thing but BS is something else entirely. Harrison and then Skelton? Yeah, all these opponents show is that Price is still domestic level. Only when he fights someone who is actually breathing at international standard will I look at him seriously. Until then he is just another over-hyped Pom. Posted October 22, 2012 12:25 pmNeil (pomy)Now thats true …. the human mud-slide might make it very uncomfortable for Price Posted October 22, 2012 12:22 pmAlesOpportunity to learn how to deal with rough dirty tactics for Price. Posted October 22, 2012 12:03 pmNeil (pomy)Wilder is the most hyped heavyweight for a long time. HE could be pretty decent, but all these hand-picked opponents are harming his reputation. Posted October 22, 2012 11:50 amNeil (pomy)Hype – Price is no more famous in Britain than Wilder is in the states. Price is not a house-hold name and the vast majority of Brits do not know who he is ……. Now Price is recieving abit of premature haype – I cant deny that ….. but Wilder's hype is on another level. 25-odd fights against complete hand-picked muppets ….. Price has only had 14 fights and is already taking on better opponents …. and Price's opponents need to improve … so what does that say about Wilder. Posted October 22, 2012 11:49 amHypePrice is getting waay too much hype and it's because the British public are happy to buy it. If the U.S wanted to they could do the same thing with Wilder. I mean if hyped enoughlots of people watching Deontay would say 'he's the future.' Davids got a helluva right hand but I wanna see his chin cracked by Arreola or someone. I think he will turn out to have a good chin but would hardly die of shock if Arreola or Peter left him flat out in 3 rounds. Though imagine everyone in the UK would have a heart attack. Posted October 22, 2012 11:45 amBill Patrice JonesWe need to see Price take a big shot from a heavyweight who can genuinely punch before we can possibly gage whether he's capable of beating a Klitschko brother, or even taking the vacated titles in their absence. There are a whole host of excellent fights you could make with Price. In an ideal world I'd match him as follows: 1./ U.S debut against Travis Walker to showcase his punch power 2./ Huge U.K grudgematch with Tyson Fury. This fight has to happen for lots of reasons. 3./ Massive U.K main event against Samuel Peter in a sell out arena. Front up good enough challenger money to Peter's people and that would be the true test for Price. 4./ Another U.S matchup against Eddie Chambers (providing he's not dropped to cruiserweight), this would be a really good test for Price. If Price isn't better by this fight he will have massive problems with the elusive Philly slickster. 5./ WBC eliminator with Odlanier Solis, the winner either picking up the WBC belt, or getting the vacated title. Couldn't possibly be any doubting Price if he won those 5 fights could there?? Posted October 22, 2012 11:39 amT-BagPATHETIC, PRICE WILL BE KO'D WHEN HE FINALLY FIGHTS SOMEONE GOOD Posted October 22, 2012 11:35 amMick the MarmalizerScotsman: It's nice to see your man Gary Cornish getting a few fights under his belt, but he's not exactlly getting stretched is he? Posted October 22, 2012 11:31 amBill Patrice JonesThis is a really awful matchup for three reasons: Number 1 beating Skelton means NOTHING and is a completely meaningless step sideways for someone we want to get really excited about right now, Number 2 Skelton can only do one thing which is make you look bad and when your trying to hype up a fighter as the new heavyweight hope you want him in fights which are good spectacles for casual fight fans. Non boxing fans will look at this from afar and laugh with the customary 'what happened to the heavyweights' comment. Number 3 Matt Skelton should have been banned from any high profile fights a long time ago. He's just plain awful. Posted October 22, 2012 11:29 amNeil (pomy)Price is 29, has not boxed many rounds this year, has been poorly matched-up ….. he needs to get a move on and to finally get a legitimate test. Posted October 22, 2012 11:28 amScotsmanThere is a thin line between the fake and the real.And through all the hype I can still see through Price`s glass chin.They are trying to protect him but he needs to fight credible opponents besides aging , faded boxers. The first time Price climbs in the ring with a A-level banger that can punch his boxing career is over.He would be better off acting.Maybe he can don a costume and play Darth Vader in the next Stars Wars movie because I see trouble ahead for Price and Wack Fury when they finally get around to stepping up in competition. Posted October 22, 2012 10:33 amAlonzoHe's starting to fight the type of guys that Povo defends his "title" against. Posted October 22, 2012 9:22 amAlonzoI hope Skelton knocks Price out for wasting everybody's time. Posted October 22, 2012 9:21 amright hook to the bodythis is just pure garbage skelton, danny willams .Julius Francis,micheal sprott are all bums this is what british boxing turn into bums of the month Posted October 22, 2012 9:03 amThe KingslayerI'll be honest I didn't even know Skelton was still active. Posted October 22, 2012 9:02 amMick the MarmalizerSt George: Ali was 32 when dismantled Foreman. I well remember Harry Carpenter making a big thing about it. Posted October 22, 2012 8:31 amsvdc@curtley. I disagree. When you put things in context you will see that Wlad, when he had Pricehis age, had already had 40 fight, and was fighting at the top. When Wlad had his 14th fight, he was a few yrs younger then Price and has been pro for 1.5-2yrs max. and he was fighting around 10 times/year. It's uncomparable. Price is wasting valuable time. THe only good thing is the Skelton fight is in the near future, not 5 months into 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 8:27 amMick the MarmalizerAt 29 Price needs to get his skates on. he could do with 6 fights in 6 months in Canada & the USA. yes it would be a bum of the month campaign, but highly profitable both financially & experiance/exposure wise. Posted October 22, 2012 8:09 amSt. GeorgeBoth Price and Wilder remind me of a young Foreman and how he was flattening everyone in his path in a round or 2 until he got outsmarted by young Ali who was fast, slick, slippery with an incredible chin and stamina and determination. Now until these two hardest hitting superheavies at the moment meet someone like that it will be safe to assume they will continue to embarrassingly flatten opponents in a round or 2. Posted October 22, 2012 8:07 amCurtleyI think that after 14 fights Skelton is a good opponent after 14 fights Wlad was fighting a Jerry Halstead and he was an olympic gold medalist so when put into context is a good fight. Posted October 22, 2012 7:48 amPoliPrаicе Posted October 22, 2012 7:48 amNeil (pomy)Price needs rounds, he needs better match-making …. what he doesnt need is excessive hype. Posted October 22, 2012 7:32 amNeil (pomy)Yeah there were no "shockwaves" … stop hyping the performance up. It was a good win against a 40-year-old domestic level fighter …… if Audley was a contender, or even a fringe contender, then there could of been "shockwaves". Posted October 22, 2012 7:30 amMLTsar81Stunning? Shockwaves? LMFAO! Posted October 22, 2012 7:23 amMick the MarmalizerShould be another easy notch on the Lonsdale belt for Price. However having said that he's still a work in progress. Get this one outta the way & maybe he should take a few fights abroad if a Fury fight doesn't materialize. If Fury was to capture the EBU title then a Price/Fury fight with a 50% split would sell massivelly with British, European & Commonwealth titles on the line. I've heard that the winner of Richard Towers & Lucas Browne is next in line for Price though, so time will tell. Posted October 22, 2012 7:22 amchitownfightfanBeat me to it. Shockwaves. No, just NO. ROFL Posted October 22, 2012 7:16 amNeil (pomy)I hope Dabvid Price isnt a hype-job. Time to put him in with somebody that isnt the wrong side of 40. Right now he is being very carefully managed and it is time to stop puppy-feeding him with hand-picked opponents. Skelton should do better than Audley did …. but he needs a test. Posted October 22, 2012 7:08 amSwedish Boxing FanDavid Price's last fight was a gloryfull victory? So the 1st round KO victory over a over-rated, uninteresting and dive taking Audley Harrison send shock-waves through the heavyweight division? Seriusly Man, the author truly super hypes a fight that NO ONE was interested in exept people who just wanted to get Audley "Fraudley" Harrison knocked out early. Who cared for that fight? Very few people and most now hopes Harrsion retires for good from boxing. Sure it looks well for David Price on the paper but nothing more then that. ANNYWAY, David Price vs. former Commonwealth champion and world title challanger Matt Skelton could be a better fight even if Skelton is an old fighter now he still can bring entertainment in the ring. But I belive Skelton is there for the same reason just to get retired by Price and I must say it is better that Price does it then an unknown man does it. Still Im glad that Price keeps himself buissy in the ring and fight often becouse he will need it if he want's to have a decent chanse later against Wladimir Klitschko if he dares to fight him.

Man Denied Cancer as Defense in Drug Case
DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) -- An eastern Iowa man will not be allowed to use his rare cancer as a defense when he faces an upcoming trial on charges in a marijuana-growing case.
Benton Mackenzie says he used the 71 marijuana plants confiscated from his parents' Long Grove home last summer to make cannabis oil to treat his angiosarcoma. The condition is a cancer of the blood vessels that cause bleeding skin lesions.
The Quad-City Times reports that a Scott County District judge has ruled he won't allow Mackenzie to use his ailment as a defense, saying there is no state law allowing such a defense.
On Friday, Gov. Terry Branstad signed a bill legalizing cannabis oil for the treatment of epileptic seizures -- but the law makes no mention of Mackenzie's condition.

My music event is next weekend. I had one guy cancel and then, two days after I found a replacement, beg me to be put back on the bill. One artist hasn't pick his piece yet, but as he was a replacement, I can't bitch too much. Another asked if she could do two, and I foolishly said yes, but she still hasn't picked EITHER of her pieces, although she "has it narrowed down to six". ("I don't like being pressured.") Some people still don't know about the new date, for some reason, although I've promoted it.
But one performer sent me a rough draft of his piece. He's a national artist with a top selling song to his credit, and he's put more work into this little thing of mine than anyone else. And his piece is awesome. So this event WILL kick ass.

Sometimes I dislike how "boring" I can be when I'm sober.
I like how free-spirited, relaxed, and nonchalant I am when I've had a couple of drinks. I just don't give a shit...
I'm pretty sure I've said this here before--but perhaps I can harness that person that comes out of me when I've had a couple of drinks to have around when I'm sober. *yawn* What do you guys think?
Wouldn't it be an 'act' though?
People often tell me "I bet you'd be a real hoot drunk." I honestly think I'd be horribly unpleasant.
I'm a happy drunk, but I could see you being a bitchy drunk. no offense. I do think it really depends on what people drink though. I stick mostly with beer, or rum and coke. My friends that drink harder stuff are the ones that get violent, or sobby after too much.
I find that in social situations, I have to consciously remind myself to participate in conversation. My default state is to observe and reflect in silence. It can be a little exhausting over prolonged periods, but I certainly wouldn't consider it to be an act. I'm still being me, it's just a more outgoing and sociable version of myself.
I'm constantly working on changing my own behavioural/thought patterns, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm putting up a facade or pretending to be somebody I'm not. It just means that I'm doing what I can to change the things about myself that I don't particularly like, or that I'm working on breaking my destructive habits.
If you'd like to be a more free-spirited person when sober, then work towards achieving that. If drunk Neo can give less of a fuck, then with a little work, so can sober Neo.
I'm a very happy, carefree drunk.
I suddenly love everyone. Everyone becomes my friend.

Sharks snap up bonus point
Lions tamed in Durban
Two tries either side of half time saw the Sharks to a 32-20 bonus-point win over South African rivals the Lions in Saturday's clash in Durban.
Fullback Riaan Viljoen, wing Lwazi Mvovo and replacements Meyer Bosman and Jacques Botes touched down to propel the Sharks to their first victory of the new season.
Flyhalf Patrick Lambie contributed 12 points with the boot in the week three encounter of this year's Super Rugby championship at Kings Park.
Lambie and Lions No. 10 Butch James swapped penalties before Viljoen chased down his own high kick and then hacked on the loose ball to score in the 30th minute.
Lambie converted from the touchline to make it 10-3 but James pulled three back with a penalty five minutes later on a rare visit into the Sharks 22.
Then, just before half-time, hooker Bismarck du Plessis staole a Lions lineout close their line after a pinpoint kick from Lambie had forced them back the five metre mark.
The hosts spread the ball wide from the breakdown and wing Mvovo skipped down the touchline to score after the hooter had sounded.
Lambie booted the conversion from the left touchline to take his side into the break with a 17-6 lead.
Nine minutes after the restart the Sharks stand-off struck a penalty to make it 20-6 with 20 minutes to go.
But the Lions twice fought back with Jaco Taute and Ruan Dreyer both crossing for tries to keep the Lions back in the hunt.
Their first came within a minute of Lambie's three pointer after a powerful charge from lock Franco van der Merwe's and Taute latched onto scrum-half Michael Bondesio's pass to force his way over.
Replacement back Bosman went in for the Sharks' third when he took the final pass to go over near the posts after a superb move from Pietersen and centre partner Tim Whitehead.
The Lions hit back again to close it to seven points when Dreyer touched down five minutes later after driving through from the edge of a ruck and James converted to make it 27-20 with four minutes left.
But the Sharks held their nerve and found time for one final attack which saw Botes score from a rolling maul following a lineout in the last act of the match.

Report : Guyana in final despite Gayle 122
Report : T&T on a roll with fifth win Series/Tournaments:
Caribbean T20
| West Indies Domestic Season
West Indies
Big Picture
Fittingly, the final of the last edition of the Caribbean T20 (due to be replaced by a franchise-based Caribbean Premier League) will be played by Trinidad & Tobago and Guyana, the two teams who have shared the title on the previous five occasions. They contested the 2006 final of the Stanford 20/20 (as the tournament was called in the first two years), with Guyana winning with a ball to spare. Guyana then regained the crown in 2010. T&T won the title for the first time in 2008 and have been the defending champions for the last two years.
Yet both teams have taken contrasting paths to success over the years. Guyana have always surprised the form sheet with cavalier displays, like the determined effort from Christopher Barnwell against Jamaica on Saturday in the play-off. In contrast, T&T have subdued their opponents convincingly through consistent performances.
T&T were the only team not to lose a single match during the preliminary round, which they topped with 21 points, to book a final berth about a week in advance. In contrast, Guyana had to sweat late into Saturday night. That only reveals their desperation right through, including two last-ball victories.
T&T have looked more assured on both the batting and bowling fronts, with more than one match-winner in their ranks. Darren Bravo has been the tournament's leading scorer, including three consecutive fifties, and has looked more dominant with every match. Dwayne Bravo, Denesh Ramdin and Kieron Pollard have played around him to consolidate later. Sunil Narine and Samuel Badree have posed many difficult questions to the opposition batsmen, bowling aggressive lines throughout to maintain the pressure built by the batsmen. For Guyana, barring Barnwell and Steven Jacobs, the rest have remained inconsistent.
A big factor that could give T&T an upper hand is the fact that they enter the final on the back of a four-day break. Expect them to be more fresh and agile. In comparison, the final will be Guyana's fifth straight match in six days but, having won their last three games, they may fancy momentum being on their side.

In the spotlight
Darren Bravo might be the tournament's leading scorer but "young" Bravo, as he is popularly known, understands that he needs to show his spark in the biggest match, the final. He has spoken about the team management giving him the responsibility of playing until the end, so look out for him to play the finisher's role. Bravo failed to accomplish the same for West Indies during the one-day series in Bangladesh and would like to play a more dominant role during the forthcoming ODI series in Australia.
After Christopher Barnwell's match-winning innings in the play-off, he galloped to No. 2 on the run charts, behind Darren Bravo. Powerful wrists allied to smart thinking have allowed Barnwell to throw opposition plans into disarray at important moments and he can be expected to stand up to a stiff challenge once again on Sunday. Even with the ball in hand, Barnwell has shown good presence of mind: he has been accurate without feeding the batsman's strengths as he showed against Chris Gayle on Saturday.
Team news
Shivnarine Chanderpaul ran on to the field joyously to hug his team-mates after Guyana's spirited victory against Jamaica to make the final. Does that mean Chanderpaul, who had pulled a leg muscle and had to abort his batting in the victory against Windward Islands on Friday, is fit for Sunday's summit clash? If he is not Trevon Griffith, who shared a match-turning partnership with Barnwell should retain his spot.
Guyana (probable) 1 Derwin Christian (wk), 2 Shivnarine Chanderpaul/Trevon Griffith, 3 Ramnaresh Sarwan, 4 Christopher Barnwell, 5 Narsingh Deonarine, 6 Leon Johnson, 7 Royston Crandon, 8 Steven Jacobs, 9 Veerasammy Permaul (capt), 10 Devendra Bishoo, 11 Ronsford Beaton
T&T are likely to play the same team as in their final league match, barring any injuries.
Trinidad & Tobago (probable) 1 Lendl Simmons, 2 Evin Lewis, 3 Darren Bravo, 4 Dwayne Bravo, 5 Denesh Ramdin, 6 Kieron Pollard, 7 Yannick Ottley, 8 Rayad Emrit, 9 Sunil Narine, 10 Samuel Badree, 11 Shannon Gabriel
Stats and trivia
"We had a bad game in the earlier round against Trinidad & Tobago. Hopefully our bowlers will bowl in the right areas and restrict them to a right total. It is a big final."
Christopher Barnwell, the Guyana allrounder, gets ready for one last match
"The boys have been working on specific areas of their game over the last few days and the time away from matches has allowed us the time to assess our game again and see what we need to enhance."
T&T team manager, Omar Khan, says his team have used their time off well

CORNELIUS Lake Norman-area residents on Monday night blasted the states planned toll lanes on Interstate 77 between Charlotte and Mooresville.
Speaking before a standing-room-only crowd, 10 residents told the Cornelius Board of Commissioners that the price of the lanes will discriminate against lower-income residents. They said the project should have been put to a vote.
I thought I was living in America, where we had a right to vote, resident Ed Biggers told the Cornelius commissioners before a state highway official updated the board on the $655 million project. Obviously, Im not living in America.
Jay Privette of Charlotte said, Nobodys going to want to pay the toll. What businesses are going to want to move into this area? Its going to be a discouragement. I think were looking very shortsighted on this.
Other residents said the state should instead consider expanding U.S. 21 and N.C. 115, which run parallel to the interstate, or I-77s general purpose lanes.
No resident in the room spoke in favor of the project, and those who took to the podium received applause from the crowd.
This is just a small sampling of residents opposed to the lanes, Cornelius commissioner Jim Duke told state officials. This has been a very painful experience for this community. You have to understand, these folks dont trust you.
In April, the state selected Cintra Infraestructuras, based in Madrid, Spain, to finance, build and operate the lanes. The financial close and final contract signature are scheduled for Dec. 1.
The state will spend $88 million on the project. Cintra will pay the rest of the $655 million cost and collect toll revenue for 50 years.
Cintra will convert an existing carpool lane into a toll lane and will build another toll lane to Exit 28 in Cornelius. One toll lane will extend to Mooresville Exit 36.
The southern-most leg of the project will extend from I-277 near Tryon Street to I-77 North for about two miles, and along I-277 from I-77 North to Brevard Street. A flyover bridge will provide direct access between I-277 and I-77.
Construction could start next year, and the lanes are expected to open in 2018, Rodger Rochelle of the N.C. Department of Transportation told the Cornelius board Monday night.
This is a matter of choice for the users, Rochelle said. No one is taking away the general purpose lanes.
The managed lanes will have electronic tolling, with no toll booths along the 26 miles, he said.
The toll lanes will have variable pricing. During rush hour, the price will rise. The cost will drop during off-peak times.
Toll prices havent been set, state transportation officials said Monday. Per state law, Cintra will conduct public hearings as part of developing the rates.
A DOT consultant in 2012 projected that a one-way, rush-hour toll from Charlotte to Mooresville could be $11.75 when the road initially opens.
By 2035, that toll could increase to $21.63, according to the consultant.
State transportation officials countered those figures, saying most motorists will end up paying only about $2 per trip.
Commissioner Dave Gilroy, who has opposed the project for years, said the Charlotte-Lake Norman region deserves better funding from the state for its clogged arteries. He called the planned toll rates fundamentally unfair.
Even if its half the projection, these rates will be expensive, he said. On a monthly basis, youre looking at hundreds of dollars added to a familys budget. Those people will be condemned to congested lanes, which is outrageous.

UPDATE 1-Genting Singapore's Q2 disappoints as gaming revenue slows
- Tweet
- Share this
* Genting Singapore Q2 EBITDA S$306.3 mln vs consensus S$361 mln * Hotel occupancy and room rates in Q2 at record high * Genting, Las Vegas Sands' casinos in Singapore saw lower Q2 gaming revenue By Charmian Kok SINGAPORE, Aug 10 (Reuters) - Genting Singapore, which owns one of Singapore's two multibillion-dollar casino complexes, posted lower quarterly core earnings that missed expectations as gaming revenue fell and expenses rose. The Singapore casino operator's results miss came after rival Las Vegas Sands, owned by billionaire Sheldon Adelson, announced smaller-than-expected quarterly earnings in July, hit by lower profits from the city-state and Macau. With gaming revenue in Singapore facing headwinds, analysts say Genting's Malaysian parent Genting Berhad faces increasing pressure to expand overseas. In June, the gaming group applied to raise its stake in casino operator Echo Entertainment to above 10 percent, potentially pitting it in a $3 billion-plus takeover battle against Australian billionaire James Packer. Genting Singapore said on Friday its gaming revenue in April-June dipped 4 percent from a year ago, as it earned S$306.3 million ($246.25 million) before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA), or core earnings, down from S$382.7 million a year earlier. This was below an average estimate of S$361 million, according to three analysts surveyed by Reuters. The company derives most of its EBITDA from its Singapore casino Resorts World Sentosa. "Gaming revenue dipped slightly, but this was not unexpected given the overall slowdown in business environment, even in Macau," said Tan Hee Teck, Genting Singapore's president and chief operating officer, according to briefing notes of an analyst call seen by Reuters. Genting Singapore's EBITDA was also lower than the $330.4 million reported by Singapore rival Marina Bay Sands, owned by Las Vegas Sands. However, adjusted property EBITDA at Sands' Singapore complex plunged 75 percent from a year ago, as gaming revenues fell 7.5 percent. NON-GAMING BUSINESS GAINS Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World are the world's second- and third-most expensive casino complexes after MGM's CityCenter in Las Vegas, and their profits and profit margins are among the highest globally. Earlier, in an emailed statement, Genting Singapore said its adjusted EBITDA was S$311 million. Genting Singapore's second-quarter net profit fell 32 percent to S$165.5 million from a year ago. Genting Singapore said its non-gaming business performed well, with hotel occupancy and average room rates in the second quarter at an all-time high of 92 percent and S$432, respectively, boosted by more daily visitors at theme park Universal Studios Singapore. Genting Singapore shares have fallen about 15 percent so far this year, underperforming the benchmark Straits Times Index's 15 percent rise in the same period. Genting Berhad now sits on more cash than any other gaming operator in the world. Earlier this year, Genting Singapore raised S$2.3 billion through perpetual securities, stoking speculation it will embark on an acquisition spree. Q2 results for Singapore's two casino-resorts in U.S. dollars: Resorts World Sentosa Marina Bay Sands Net revenue $564.5 mln $694.8 mln Adjusted $250 mln $330.4 mln EBITDA EBITDA margin 44.3 pct 47.6 pct

As of Monday, August 1, 2011

Gwinnett Daily Post
DULUTH -- The city of Duluth's property tax rate will remain at 5.991 mills for the second consecutive year.
At a special called meeting Monday evening, the Duluth City Council unanimously voted to maintain the millage rate that will support the new budget that goes into effect July 1, according to a news release.
The city's upcoming budget of $15.6 million represents a 6.3 percent decrease from the current budget. The city faced a decline in revenue for the third year in a row and used reserve funds to balance the budget, the news release states.
Duluth Mayor Nancy Harris said property tax revenue is down about 9.13 percent from last year.
"The council was very aware of the depressed economy," Harris said. "City staff and the council worked very hard not to increase the tax burden on our citizens."
The adopted budget will be available online Friday at www.duluthga.net.

Summer Heatwave 2014: 10 ways to keep cool on the commutePosted on 10 Jul, 2014 |
As Nelly so famously said 'It's getting hot in here… so take off all your –' wait, what? While Nelly may have been referencing a club, the song is definitely more appropriate for the sweaty, stuffy train or bus you're finding yourself on during your long commute to work in the summer months. We British love to complain that we don't get a summer, but as soon as the days get slightly warmer we find ourselves huffing and puffing and moaning about air-conditioning.
Now, we don't suggest taking off all your clothes (sorry Nelly, pretty sure that's illegal) but we have compiled a list of how to stay cool on those long journeys into the office, so you'll be fresh as a daisy when you arrive.
A Mini Fan:
Not the kind that follows you around and is obsessed with you, we're talking about the battery operated kind. Watch other commuters explode with jealousy at your mini air-con unit in the sweaty carriage. Even better if it blasts out water vapour, you know…

I finally found some roots of this sunflower, 'Helianthus Angustifolius',it takes off by its roots, and it is starting to put out leaves on its stems,but they are round and soft and light green. I am nearly 100% sure they are the Swamp Sunflower. But they are not gaining any height,and the shape of the leaves have me thrown off. I recall them being thin,rough,dark green,and stiff.
I cant seem to get these to grow, I have the sections I bought,in a growpot, trying to get them off to a good start,before I put them into the sand soil we have here in south Fla. Does anyone have any idea how to get these plants to grow? I use to have them in my yard, and they grew like weeds. Didn't have to do anything to them,barely watered them,and I had a jungle of them! Then one season , they didn't come up,and it has been years since I finally got these sections from EBay. I never knew what they were called. I got these and they are rooted in the growpot in very good fast draining soil,but I cant get any height on them, and these round soft leaves have me stumped! Are they 'baby leaves', and the older the plant gets, they will start to get the long thin leaves?
Follow-Up Postings:
I wonder if there are many different ones called "swamp sunflower"? We have them growing wild here on our property. We have moist clay soil, mostly woods. But ours is the narrow-leafed variety and they aren't short, they get about 3 ft. tall and there are no round leaves on them. They are also called narrow-leafed sunflower. I love them. I tried to save seed from them but it didn't work. Sometimes a common name such as "swamp sunflower" is applied to several different species. Since you have sandy soil you might not be able to grow them easily anyways. |
I posted the botanical name,to be sure that everyone knows the sunflower I am talking about. It grows like a weed here in south Fla, in bog areas and in dry areas, it is nearly a weed. It is the long leafed one,rough like sandpaper,and dark green. That is why the round soft light green leaves are throwing me off. I use to grow it in my yard for over ten years,then one year it just didnt come back up from the roots. The soil here is nearly pure sand, and this sunflower grows to over 10 feet sometimes,on thin stems and blooms in the fall,and spreads by the roots. So i was asking for hints on how to grow it. I must be doing something wrong, because I cant get height out of it yet, and it has these round leaves. I am sure it is the one I wanted,but it isnt growing like the one I expected. The woman I bought the sections from,sent the pictures of it,and it is the plant/flowers that I have been looking for, for 10 years, and it is called Swamp Sunflower, and the botanical name that I listed. So I am trying to find out if I am giving it to good of soil,to much food, to much water,i just dont know. so I am asking. |

XLR8 provides disappointing car noises, suitable for ironic use
I told Meg the other day that I'd take a look at XLR8, a $0.99 entertainment app currently rocking 5-star ratings over at the app store. The app uses a mix of GPS and accelerometer readings to simulate racing car sounds as you drive around town.
What you do is this: You hook up the phone to your car's sound system, you place it in a firm mount, and then you press start and wait for the electronic voice to give you clearance to drive ahead. It then monitors movement to match your driving to vroomy vroomy sounds.
If it worked well and less obviously pandered to in-app sales, this would be a really cute app. The problem is, of course, that it didn't work well, could use much better engineering, requires you to watch how-to videos to use the app in the first place, and spends a lot of time and screen space trying to sell you stuff.
Leaving aside the obnoxious lunges towards your wallet, how did the default (free) car work? Well, it made vroomy vroomy sounds -- so +1 for that.
Unfortunately, those sounds were deeply lagged, especially when matched against my morning stop & go commute. Several seconds out of sync, my car started "idling" a block or so after I had already completed my turn and "vrooming" when I was paused to make another. Plus the noises started to get really irritating just a few minutes into driving -- your mileage may vary on that, however. (See? Car pun!) Update: To be clear, I used a direct wire to my sound system, not Bluetooth, so any lags were not due to transmission delays in that regard.
If you do spring for the app, make sure you have your device secured quite firmly as the app works best when it's working in tandem with the car movements, not jostling around your cup holder.
I honestly think the tech could have been implemented far better and more passively (no one wants to wait for a phone to give them permission to start driving), and the obnoxious upsells could have been scaled back a lot.
I'd say all-in-all, it's just a buck if you'd like to give it a try. There are worse ways to spend a dollar.

The pied piper of cool science tools
on April 10th, 2014 No Comments
When Stanford bioengineer Manu Prakash, PhD, and his students set out to solve a challenging global health problem, the first order of business is to have fun.
"We're a curiosity-driven lab," says Prakash, as he sits in his office overflowing with toys, gadgets, seashells and insect exoskeletons.
In the last month, Prakash introduced two new cool science tools — a 50-cent paper microscope and a $5 programmable kid's chemistry set. The response from fellow science lovers, compiled on this Storify page, has been amazing.
Already, 10,000 kids, teachers, health workers and small thinkers from around the globe have signed up to receive build-your-own-microscope kits. Thousands more have sent us e-mails describing the creative ways they'd use a microscope that they could carry around in their back pockets.
For the love of science, here are a few of these inspirational e-mails:
I would love to have one. I'm only in 6th grade but I love science. I hope to visit the moon one day. — Raul
I am an electrical engineer from Kenya and have never used a microscope in all my life. But what I would really like to do is to avail the foldscope to students in a primary school that I am involved in mentoring. This apart from hopefully inspiring them in the wonders of science, would enable the students see the structure of the mosquito proboscis, a malaria-spreading agent in this part of the world. I would also like to look at the roots of mangrove trees and see the structure that enables them to keep sea water salts out. — Macharia Wanyoike
This is brilliant! I am in science and nanotechnology education and my wish is for South African rural children, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana to all have these microscopes! It will be amazing. — Professor Sanette Brits, University of Limpopo, South Africa
I am studying how magnetic fields at different frequencies affect water bears. They are very difficult to find and it would be great if I had a tool to help me find them that is portable while searching for them. I have digital motic microscope phase contrast and darkfield microscopes but nothing portable. — Edward W. Verner (Water bear shown to the left.)
I could use it to check if patients have scabies. Or if I were visiting remote monasteries in the Himalayas where they have outbreaks. I'd definitely pack it. For myself I'd use it on nature walks. GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT for mankind. Congratulations. — Linda Laueeano, RN
Hi! I am a high school student from South Korea. While I was searching for interesting project, I saw your video. It was very amazing and I can't believe that only one dollar can save hundreds and thousands people who were suffering from malaria and other diseases that can be found by your "foldscope". I really love to study about your project and I had already read your thesis. Truly, it was hard to understand everything, but I really tried hard and I discussed this issue for more than a week with my science club. We are group of 10 people and we are eager to do this project. Also I really appreciate you to do this wonderful thing for poor kids in many other countries. Thanks. — Joung Yeon Park
I am assisting a K-12 community school with creating a STEAM Innovation Knowledge HUB, as they are trying to move their Common Core Curriculum into a STEM to STEAM driven program. It would be great to receive several Foldscopes or be able to purchase. Please contact me ASAP. Congratulations on a great new support product and great innovation. Thank you, smile. — Dr. Dion N. Johnson, Wayne State University

Douay-Rheims (RHE) | New International Version (NIV) |
4 And they broke down before him the altars of Baalim, and demolished the idols that had been set upon them: and he cut down the groves and the graven things, and broke them in pieces: and strewed the fragments upon the graves of them that had sacrificed to them. | 4 Under his direction the altars of the Baals were torn down; he cut to pieces the incense altars that were above them, and smashed the Asherah poles, the idols and the images. These he broke to pieces and scattered over the graves of those who had sacrificed to them. |

Every Tuesday morning I travel to Nationalities Senior Center in North Philadelphia hoping that I won't be found out. While I walk the six blocks from the subway I compulsively feel inside my bag to ensure I have copies of my lesson for the day. A lesson plan, which I am sad to admit, I agonized over picking out.
