- Scott K is a gay man living in sin with his partner of over twelve years whom he still cannot legally marry.
Scott says he's politically active not because he wants to be, but rather feels he has to be. He takes very seriously Thomas Jefferson's famous quote "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance" which, strangely enough, he thinks he first heard on an episode of The Simpsons.

Public Health News Roundup: December 12
Telehealth Technology Could Help Obese Youth Get Better Treatment, Lose Weight
Telehealth technology—a secure computer system that enables patients to speak "face-to-face" with doctors who are far away—could be an effective strategy to help obese youth who are trying to lose weight, according to new research from UCLA. With a multidisciplinary approach often the prescribed for treating obesity, telehealth services would reduce travel time while giving patients access to expertise that might not be available in their area. This would be especially helpful for low-income families. The UCLA study linked UCLA health care providers with patients at their local health clinics, finding that 80 percent of the 45 study subjects were happy with the technology and would use it again. "One surprise was how natural it was to talk with each other through the telehealth system, even though we never met the patients in person," said lead author Wendy Slusser, MD, medical director of the Fit for Healthy Weight program at Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA and director of pediatric wellness programs at the Venice Family Clinic. "The interaction was very much like being in the same room together. Some kids even thought it was fun to see themselves on the screen." Read more on access to health care.
Study: Psychiatrists Less Likely than Other Doctors to Accept Insurance
Psychiatrists are less likely than other doctors to accept private insurance, according to a new study in JAMA Psychiatry. Researchers analyzed government data from 2005 to 2010, which surveyed approximately 1,250 doctors each year, finding that from 2005 to 2010 the percentage of psychiatrists who accepted private insurance dropped from 72 percent to 55 percent. In comparison, over that same time the rate for doctors in other areas only dropped from 93 percent to 89 percent. While the study does not explain the vast difference, Jeffrey Lieberman, MD, president of the American Psychiatric Association, said reimbursement is a major concern, according to Reuters. "Many doctors can't afford to accept insurance because (insurance companies) don't pay them for the time," he said. "It involves taking more time with the patient and often treating them with psychotherapy." Read more on mental health.
Even Mild Hits to the Head Can Cause Brain Damage
Even mild hits to the head that don't cause concussion can still lead to problems with memory and thinking, according to a new study in the journal Neurology. Researchers equipped 80 football and ice hockey players with special helmets that gathered data on mild hits; while none of the players were diagnosed with a concussion, they still showed signs of deficits in thinking after the season. "This suggests that concussion is not the only thing we need to pay attention to," said Tom McAllister, MD, chairman of the department of psychiatry at the Indiana University School of Medicine. "These athletes didn't have a concussion diagnosis in the year we studied them ... and there is a subsample of them who are perhaps more vulnerable to impact. We need to learn more about how long these changes last and whether the changes are permanent." Read more on injury prevention.

SHOWCASE: Jeff Hahn
His mastery of light, colour and direction imbue Jeff's work with the melancholy and drama that is often absent in fashion photography. His work sits firmly at the cross roads of editorial, advertising, portraiture and fine art. The medley of genres that co-exist within Jeff's oeuvre create the seduction that is so essential in the making of images that define fantasy and desire. They are intimate and beautifully pieced together, successfully showcasing the character in each of his carefully chosen, extraordinary subjects. This is power in the prism of a face, in the slope of a shoulder.

SHOWCASE: Anna Di Prospero
Anna Di Prospero's photography is luminous. Her photographs in "Instinct" speak of both the intimate and expansive, the feeling of being close and also reaching out towards nebulous space. There is an underlying anxiety and aggression beneath the sweet exterior of its peach palette, referencing the decay of fire and insects, the arcane claustrophobia of what it means to be trapped within our own bodies. The sensations of falling and drowning, or perhaps sheer suspension.

I replied to your question in another forum, but I would be curious if you can switch out the fittings to SS. They show is dismantled, but not with fittings removed. I would be curious what is holding the fittings on.
Hmmm I am Intrigued .... anyone with experience?
Looks identical to the the Topsflo TS5 pump I got last week from this ebay site. Intended for solar hot-water applications. Mine is rated as food-grade and able to handle boiling wort. I used it for the first time yesterday to recirc through my plate chiller. Worked great with a 12VDC wall wart. I was able to pump worth through my chiller and back up about 5 feet to the top of my BK. I'm still waiting on the variable DC supply I ordered for it so I can control the rate.
It's expensive, you could probably buy a used march or chugger for that price. I found a used little giant on eBay for under 75 shipped

When will the SS fitting pumps be in? is there any guarantee that they will not fail? Have any of the standard pumps failed? Is there any warranty?
These pumps are very reliable it is far more likely to have a power supply fail then the pump. Pump is tested to 30000 hours continues use. My own have never let me down thus far.

Four "Crazy" Buffet Lunch Deals in West Palm Beach
Nicole Danna |
Rachel's, a five-star steak house, features prime rib during its Wednesday buffet. |
These days, your typical lunch buffet means Pizza Hut's $10 special or a China Buffet line a mile long (with a bathroom line to match).
But if you visit Rachel's of West Palm Beach (the steak house part, that is) on Wednesday -- when they have their "prime rib special" buffet -- you'll get just that: a juicy piece of meat for just $5 (yes, we're still talking steak here).
Although not all buffets offer such delectable dishes, it's worth mentioning the few that do.
Read on to find out where you can get an amazing lunch deal, buffet-style:
For more than 30 years, Aleyda's has been offering its Tex-Mex fare to West Palm Beach, from its humble beginnings as a food truck operated by Colombian owner Aleyda Cardona to today's colorful, Disney-like themed 150-seat dining space.
Aleyda's menu is just as festive as its décor, complete with burritos, fajitas, and quesadillas galore and a congo-line list of specialty margaritas, making it the perfect mid-workday escape.
The all-you-can-eat $9.99 lunch buffet is truly a feast, featuring a make-your-own taco bar, full salad bar, and hot dish or casada-like plates that offer up burritos and chimichangas as part of the special lunch menu.
Hours: 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday through Friday (soft drink and free refills included).
Saffron-infused zeera rice. Chicken vindaloo in a savory curry sauce. The tangy heat of house-made mango chutney. Creamy Dal Makhni (spiced lentils) with loads of fragrant ginger and garlic. And a heap of steaming hot naan to soak it all up.
Ahhhh, Indian food. If you love it, there's plenty to savor at Saffron. Each day, the restaurant offers its all-you-can-eat buffet lunch special that includes a choice of two daily soups, three vegetable dishes, assorted rices, and constantly rotating chicken and meat dish pairings. Oh -- and just in case you have room -- your choice of dessert as well.
Hours: 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Monday through Friday for $10.95; Saturday and Sunday $12.95
For just $5 during the offseason months ($10 regular price), you can dig into Rachel's 26-foot, all-you-can-eat buffet table. If you're a meat lover, the best day to go would be the prime rib special on Wednesday.
Each day, the special entrée feature changes with American-style selections that include everything from chicken to pork and several types of salads. And yes, there's also an entire stage -- er, table -- worth of desserts.
Hours: 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday
Nicole Danna |
Sushi at the buffet sushi table at Crazy Buffet. |
For just $10, you can plate-up with some pretty amazing seafood and sushi (including raw oysters and steamed crab legs). The crazy selection of food -- five buffet tables that include your average American fare and a sweet assortment of desserts -- is part of the reason they call it crazy buffet.
No worries about quality or freshness either. The sushi and seafood go so fast, you won't have time to worry about flies on your food. And feel free to special-order rolls to your liking if they aren't too busy.
There's even a full bar. Snag a seat and throw back a few pre-chowdown drinks to get you started -- or wash it all down afterward with a cold beer or glass of wine. Current drink specials include any two beers for $4.99, cocktails and martinis two-for-one, and house wines that are buy one, get the second half-price. Now that's a crazy deal for sure.
Hours: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday ($9.99 adults, $5.99 children)
Noon to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday ($11.99 adults, $7.99 children)

Tips for staying at 2 Resorts during 1 vacation
We are looking at possibly spliting our next vacation between 2 different resorts. We have been to Disney many times but we have never done this before. We are looking for any times to make for a smooth transition. And suggestions? Thank you!:banana: :thanks:
Giving luggage to bell hop and have them move it to the new resort makes it easier
We just did a split at Poly and BC and loved it.
As PP mentioned, we used bell services to move the bags. Specifically, when we were ready to leave Poly, we called bell services from our room. They arrived in less than 10 minutes. Then, we simply hopped on the Monorail and spent the day at Epcot. When we arrived at BC in the late afternoon, we simply to told the CM at check-in that we'd come over from Poly and had used bell services to move some bags. He then called bell services and told them to bring our bags to our room. About 15 minutes later, they arrived. The whole thing was incredibly smooth and I'm now totally hooked on split stays. One final piece of advice, if you use bell services to move your bags and think you'd like to swim during the afternoon on your transfer day, make sure to bring your swim wear with you. Bell services may not get the bags to the 2nd resort until around 5 pm. |
Not meaning to hijack but I have a question about this too and it seems silly to start an additional thread.
We are doing a split stay-first time and since we are driving down would there be any reason to use bell services? I thought that maybe we could transport our luggage and if room isn't ready leave our things either in our vehicle or would it be better to leave w bell services? We will be going to a water park that day... |
This is something I tried over the summer. You can find pics and my experience here:
http://www.disunplugged.com/2012/07/...und-the-world/ |
To the OP: if you have Disney move your bags, make sure they tag each bag and you keep the receipt tags, we even made a photo of our bags, before they picked them up. They lost one of our bags once and we were glad we had the tag and photo as they tried to argue it was not missing. |
I've done several split stays and have used bell services without any problems however it's kind of an pain not having your bags. The last couple times I just got up early, took a taxi (with bags) to the new resort. I checked in and left the bags with bell services because the room is never ready, then head out for my day. I'm an early riser though...
Oh, and I don't really like being "homeless" until the new room is ready because we like our afternoon breaks. |
We have done split stays for some of our longer trips of 10+ days so we had time to feel settled in at both resorts. I prefer to take a cab with my luggage to new resort, first thing in the morning and do early check in. Sometimes our room has been ready, sometimes not. Then I just leave luggage with Bell Service.
But we also enjoy hunkering down in just one resort too :goodvibes |
We are also trying our first split stay on our next trip in May. We are arriving on a Sunday at POR and spending the afternoon at DD. Then Monday - Friday we'll have park days. Saturday morning we're checking out of POR and heading to the POLY for 2 days of relaxation! We fly home at 7:40 pm on Sunday so we plan on lounging by the pool and on the beach recuperating from all the walking! :D
I was told when making the reservation that POR would transport us over to the POLY. Is this not true? I see people talk a lot about using a cab and I can't imagine why they'd pay for a cab if the hotel offered transportation for free? |
I have done this mulitple times. I have never been driven to the next resort by Disney though. There was one two week stay that I moved four times!!! Every time, I handed my bags off to Bell Services and they moved my bags. Then, I went to a park for a few hours, and then took a bus to the next resort and got checked in.
I'm not sure who told the poster that Disney would move them...it isn't a common occurrence at all. Just isn't. And that's why we talk about cabs. The issue with switching resorts is a luggage one. Yes, they will tell you that your bags will arrive at the next resort by mid-afternoon, maybe earlier. BUT...I have yet to have my bags, in my next resort, any earlier than 5:30pm!!! And that can make life miserable!!!! From now on, I'll be taking a cab from one resort to the next. It will be worth my while to have my bags with me. If my room isn't ready yet, I can still have access to the bags!!! |

Giancarlo D'Orazio | |
Candidate for | |
New Jersey Senate District 4 | |
Party | Republican |
Education | |
Associate's | Pierce College |
Personal | |
Profession | Owner of La Gelato, substitute teacher |
D'Orazio is a Washington Township councilman and a small business owner. He worked as a computer programmer and IT manager for 30 years before opening his own gelato business. D'Orazio also serves as a substitute teacher in the Washington Township school district, and tutors students privately in the Italian language and other academics.
D'Orazio has an Associates Degree in Computer Science from Pierce College in Philadelphia.
Campaign themes
In an interview with the Gloucester County Times, D'Orazio listed his top priorities:
- "To grow South Jersey jobs by removing harmful regulations and tax burdens on small businesses and providing incentives for South Jersey businesses to grow. I will work to jump start New Jersey's economic engine and pave the way for job creation. Unlike most politicians, I have always worked in the private sector, whether for a large organization or for myself. I believe that with private sector mentality in Trenton, better days are ahead of us. South Jersey families have been forced to cut back and prioritize their spending. Our state government should be forced to do the same, and ensure that the state spends taxpayers' money more efficiently and effectively. We can no longer afford to spend money we don't have. To make property tax relief a priority, I will only support a budget that reduces property tax for our families, seniors, and business owners. Making South Jersey more affordable and more business friendly will be my first priority."[2]
(For responses from all the candidates, see the full story here.)

- 65% Omega-3s
- Supercritical CO2 Extraction
- 1,040 mg Omega-3s in Only 2 Softgels Per Day
- Dietary Supplement
The Minami Five —5 Reasons Why You Should Choose Minami?
- Supercritical Difference: Minami oils utilize liquid CO2 extraction and are exposed to 400% less heat than other leading brands with no use of harsh solvents and no saturated fat as filler.
- Super Concentration: Minami is one of the highest concentrated Omega-3s available, which is "super convenient" because you get more Omega-3 nutrition per softgel which means fewer pills and tablespoons of oil to swallow.
- Unsurpassed Purity: Minami oils go through rigorous in house and third party testing and have remarkably low levels of oxidation as well as undetectable levels of dioxins, pesticides and heavy metals like mercury.
- Science-Based Unique Formulations: Minami uses the latest Omega-3 research to formulate specific ratios of EPA and DHA to support the body and its systems.
- Small Environmental Footprint: Minami obtains fish from sustainably managed waters and is the only fish oil in the world to receive EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) status—a very stringent European standard.
Pharmaceutical Grade - all manufacturing, encapsulation and laboratory testing conducted in accordance with GMP guidelines (Good Manufacturing Practices).
MorO-3 is a premium Omega-3 supplement utilizing supercritical CO2 extraction technology that delivers 1,040 mg of Omega-3 nutrition in just two easy-to-swallow softgels. MorO-3 offers a clean, orange flavor with no fishy aftertaste and a balanced ratio of EPA to DHA to support:
- Cognitive function
- Cardiovascular health
- Immune system
Clinical Science - Minami is committed to the advancement of scientific support for Omega-3 nutrition and has participated in 11 human clinical studies.
Cold Processed. Smart Choice.
Supercritical CO2 extraction utilizes 400% less heat than the leading brands—the typical process can expose heat-sensitive oils to temperatures as high as 400º F. Liquid CO2, an organic compound takes the place of typically-used harsh chemical solvents.
Minami also offers one of the highest concentrated Omega-3 fish oils on the market, which means more Omega-3 nutrition, no fillers and fewer softgels to take—now that is smart.
Adults take 2 softgels per day with water. Best taken with food. Not intended for children.
Supercritical deep-sea fish oil (anchovy, sardine, mackerel, herring), fish gelatin, glycerin, natural orange flavor, soy lecithin, mixed tocopherols. Contains soy.
Caution: As with any dietary supplement, consult your healthcare practitioner before using this product, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, allergic to iodine, use blood thinners, anticipate surgery, take medication on a regular basis or are otherwise under medical supervision.
Store in a dark, cool, dry place. Do not use if safety seal is broken or missing. Keep out of reach of children.

Richard Dawkins Jumps The Shark With Trippy 'Mutation Of The Mind' Show At Cannes Festival (VIDEO)
Now, we're no experts. But we're pretty sure that when the people organising the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity chose Richard Dawkins to head up their Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors' Showcase, they weren't expecting this.
According to the festival website, Dawkins put on a "visual and oral extravaganza". We think that's putting it mildly.
Because Dawkins' presentation is more like a psychedelic drug trip. A psychedelic drug trip which includes memes, genes, brains, owls, SHARKS AND HEDGEHOGS (his caps). Oh, yes.
Click play to have your mind boggled - not necessarily in a 'Isn't the spread of online creativity amazing?!' way, but more a 'What on earth has happened to Richard Dawkins?!' way.
Oh, and make sure you watch to the end. Because that really IS worth waiting for.
Professor Dawkins, we salute you. You and your sharks and hedgehogs. But possibly not your graphic designer.

@Geoff, what would a duck do without his new shoes eh. I take it your "beak" has it's orange glow too? Thanks for explaining, I've never heard that one before.
I have, but I have to say that these were growing in quite wet conditions. Judging from your photo your soil seems to be drier. Beware of suckers and seedlings though because they can spread themselves out rapidly.
@ Geoff, webbed feet? Now you're puzzling me but you are right that this isn't my time.
@Kate, yes I know, but they are very very busy so need someone else instantly. Mind you, I would have been going to work again tomorrow morning and I don't think they have found another help yet....
Flobear, that's a gorgeous hedgehog you've got there. Lovely!
You are absolutely right. This is Salix caprea or Goat Willow. But you will need to prune it to stay small because eventually it will grow into a 14 m. high tree.
Good morning all,
Back again after having been ill. Finally the weather is picking up and for the last week or so we've been having loads of sunshine and good temperatures. My strawberries are doing quite well and the first small "crop" was yummie!
So I'm very busy at the moment doing four things at one time ( trying to that is...). The laundry needs washing - second load is in the machine, I will be cleaning the downstairs today, need to pay a lot of bills and the garden is calling me too...mmm, what shall I do first?
I saw that you all have been having the most terrible Summer in ages. Am feeling very sorry for you guys. Hopefully the weather we're having will come to you soon.
BTW, work has come to an end already due to me being ill so back to square 1 for me.
To me this looks like a case of mildew, caused by damp weather.
Hi Paul,
Acer griseum loves it's soil to be slightly acidic, well-drained and with lots of humus. Many clay soils are too alkaline and very compacted so that could become a problem. Maybe a photo can enlighten us?
Morning all,
Looking grey still, but hopefully it'll be a nice day. It's going to be warm enough though. We have been promised 25C today.
Off to work in a few minutes, yay!!
Í think the leaves have been battered by wind, rain and cold weather in general. To me this doesn't look like a shortage of potassium.
@ Geoff, yes you will be passing it.....but only by boat as we're on the other side in the province of Limburg. I do have a very tall step ladder so I 'll try my best that day. You might run into my cousins though, they both have been living there since their studies at the University of Amsterdam.
@ Kate, no I wouldn't want to wear a hat either as they give me headaches, so no Ascot for me then.
OK, dinner time.

Hello All, For the past 15 years or so I have sold my plant material at a local market where I have a loyal following, most customers are great, and it has been a positive experience growing and selling at the market. I offer a wide variety of plants and flowers, and a comment I hear often from customers is "your plants are so unusual!" I tell everyone that I grow what everyone else doesn't, and that I get bored easily so they are likely to find plants at my stand that aren't your usual 'garden variety.' Jeb |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by little_minnie 4 (My Page) on Fri, Feb 1, 13 at 20:43
The guy who sells meat at our market answers, "Yes, but I can't live on "next week"! I usually say something about the product being very seasonal and no guarantee there will be any left. The real nice guy next to me will give produce away for free and tell people to come back next week and buy. It is unclear whether that is a good idea or not. |
- Posted by myfamilysfarm 5b (My Page) on Sat, Feb 2, 13 at 9:48
Giving samples away one week sometimes works, IF you know that you'll have that next week. Otherwise, it makes the customers stop and ask, if nothing else. I usually say, "I'm planning on it, but you never know what might happen between times." And "What I have this week at this time, might be sold out by this time next week. Get here early, if you want to take the chance." Very good question. |
Jeb, Your intentions are good, but you can say anything you want to them and it won't make a damn bit of difference. If you've been doing this for 15 years, you know as well as me, those people are just trying to be polite. I don't think there's anything you can say or do to get them to buy something that doesn't involve guilt tripping or begging (which I have done on occasion, but I was young and needed the money :). Maybe, just maybe, if you offer them a deal if they buy it today. Who knows? If they are really on the fence, that might be the clincher. My best advice for you is to find something to say that makes you feel ok, smile and accept that people are just like that. -Mark |
- Posted by teauteau KC5/6 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, Feb 5, 13 at 14:05
Yep. Kind of like what Mark said. A lot of people say "are you going to be here next week?" to be polite, as a kindly way of blowing you off, instead of having to say they are not interested. That's ok. Keep being polite/nice. Sometimes, talking about your stuff in depth will develop some interest. I know with our jams and jellies, sometimes I can get someone to buy something when I start talking about the different fruit and spice combinations, etc. It doesn't always work but it's kind of like the more you educate those who stop by long enough to listen to you, the better and sometimes, some of them do eventually come back. Just keep offering your "unique" "unusual" products and keep being positive and keep educating. |
- Posted by little_minnie 4 (My Page) on Wed, Feb 6, 13 at 20:43
What about saying?: If I can make enough to afford the gas I will be back next week. |
i just say thanks for stopping by and have a great day. if its a buyer i just add thanks a lot. the only thing more weird than customers are other vendors. |
"the only thing more weird than customers are other vendors." Well said Randy! Lol |

It is funny to hear opposing sides from different vendors and people online. There is the side of 'mark it a fair price and you deserve to make money from what you do.' Then there is the side that gives stuff away and drops their prices if a customer says they are too high. I am in the middle and get influenced back and forth between the two sides. There is a farmer on local harvest forum that feels he is 'subsidizing' his CSA members because he makes very little and they make plenty. There is another vendor at my market that asks $7 for a half pint of jam and scolds everyone for too low of prices. Then again I spent parts of 2 days baking and prepping for market last week and netted $111 and spent plenty on baking supplies, sold previously made jam, and well I would hate to really do the math on that whole thing! Anyway customers should maybe know your average farmer/marketer makes little profit. After taking out my expenses for 2012 and estimating the hours I worked I figure I no way made $3.50 an hour. I make 4 times that much at my lame job barely working at all. So there is nothing wrong with a little urging to get someone to buy so you can continue in this business. |

A decent job on the animation. Looks like it was mainly a frame by frame flash. The style gives off a weird creepy feeling because everything is always moving and always squiggly. Nothing really to clean up too much here at all.
Dreams are always messed up like this. In our dream did you have the random Obey thing appearing? Your dreams are actually quite normal compared to mine. Not really bizarre at all.
The thing I noticed about this was that it was rather predictable. Once you started falling and the happy music started I just knew that you were going to fall to your death. Even though I saw it coming from a mile away I still laughed when he hit the ground. You know something is funny when you know it's coming and still laugh when it happens.
I didn't see the guy randomly throwing up at the end coming though.
Good job with the music all around. Sound effects and audio was well chosen and well synced with the submission.
Alot of these were pretty awesome.
I vote for DON'T WATCH THIS ...is too funny! LOL

Flu or Cold Symptoms?
When you wake up sneezing, coughing, and have that achy, feverish, can't move a muscle feeling, how do you know whether you have cold symptoms or the flu?
It's important to know the difference between flu and cold symptoms. A cold is a milder respiratory illness than the flu. While cold symptoms can make you feel bad for a few days, flu symptoms can make you feel quite ill for a few days to weeks. The flu can also result in serious health problems such as pneumonia and hospitalizations.

I have a few suggestions but I'm not an expert so you are free to ignore me
In the attached screenshot:
1. Just a minor alignment correction. Although these items also look a little squished together.
2. You could increase the width of the content. People have much larger monitors these days and this leaves a lot of empty space. I suppose this depends on the target audience and media.
3. (The main concern) the menu is obscured. It needs to be clearly visible and accessible.
4. Add some left and right padding to the central area - it will look neater.
5. I would increase the font size.
I'm not to keen on the main font (a personal impression). I find it a little harsh.
You could also use a larger company logo/image. Regards, Andy.

If You're In Trouble With Your Loan, Talk To Your Lender Right Away
We got behind on house pymts & it was sent to an attorney for foreclosure.? The attorney has printed a notice in our paper on Oct 9 that it will go up for public action on Nov.16th. We found out we could get financial help on friday. Can we stop this action now without it going up for auction?
This never ceases to amaze me. People have a contract they can't meet, and they don't call the other party to see if anything can be done.
The lenders do NOT want to foreclose on any more properties right now. Actually, this is pretty much a constant of the real estate market. They never want to foreclose; they will only do so when it is apparently the least bad solution to their situation.
To be truthful, you should have called the lender and explained your situation as soon as you knew you were going to be late with a payment. Lenders will always work with anyone to a reasonable extent, but now they're bending over backwards. Foreclosures are 1) bad publicity, 2) bad for their relationship with the secondary loan market, and 3) almost certain to lose them a blortload of money.
Call them this instant (or as soon as they open on Monday) and ask for Loss Mitigation. They will not be as forgiving as if you'd called them right away, but they're still likely to be willing to work something out. Just about anything is better than losing it through foreclosure, I might add, so you be willing to give as much as you can to encourage them. Foreclosures hit them in ways beyond the cash they immediately lose. They don't want to foreclose.
Now, the downsides:
First off, you've waited until you are "in extremis", long past the best time to call the lender. They're quite likely to see your belated request to talk as a last ditch method to delay the inevitable. Lots of folks do precisely this. Had you called earlier and been working with them all along, made agreements and kept them, they'd have evidence you're really doing your best to get them their money. You're not a criminal, but this is the same sort of behavior judges see with convicted criminals at sentencing, faking penitence to avoid jail - then they go right out and do the same thing again.
Payment modifications aren't some kind of magical "make it all better" The lender wants their money, and they're not going to settle for a situation that doesn't turn the loan into what they call a "performing asset." If you borrowed more money than you could really afford, and you aren't able to make at least the interest payments on it at real rates, as many people with negative amortization loans did, then the best modification they'll agree to really isn't going to help you, and you're better off selling the property ASAP, even if you don't get enough for the property to cover what you owe ("short sales").
Bottom line: Please call and ask them. It never hurts to ask. But be mentally prepared if such a modification doesn't really solve your problem. Because you waited until the very end, don't be surprised if their willingness to work with you is limited, but even in such circumstances, they would rather not foreclose if you can show them another course that gives them better prospects for getting more of their money back.

I agree with Twify. It turned out really dry, more like a crumble that hardly held together. The taste is good but it's so messy to eat. I don't think I did anything wrong (even the oven temp is calibrated) so I will be looking for a different shortbread recipe.
I added double the amount of lemon peel to give it a more intense lemon flavor--served it to guests who loved it, as did I.
I had no other use for Pasta Flour. I used Rice Flour instead. The cookies were great!
Really liked this recipe. It was quick and easy. The semolina added a nice crunch.
Big disappointment. This shortbread was very dry and the pistachio flavor did not come through. I checked other shortbread recipes and the butter/flour ration of 1:2 seems pretty standard so don't know why the result was so dry. I'm sure I could tweak the ingredients and cooking time and improve the result, but why take the time when there are many other shortbread recipes that bring excellent results.

Now available from Chemspec and RPM Wood Finishes Group is the Rx for Wood Floors System, a three-step process that restores dull, scratched wood floors to their original beauty with no sanding. Using an advanced wood floor finishing technology, this new system chemically "sands" the floor and creates a receptive surface that bonds the underlying finish with the new crystal clear, fast-drying topcoat.
Homeowners no longer need to "move out" while their wood floors are being professionally restored. The Interpenetrating Polymer Network (IPN) provides a fast-drying waterborne-coating formula that is twice as durable as conventional wood finishes and does not yellow with age. There are no hazardous fumes and no need for special ventilation.

Corn earworms I found an old issue of Organic Gardening (1983) and someone sent in a suggestion to dust the ears with lime to prevent earworms. has anyone ever heard of or tried this ? I put some pickling lime in an old salt shaker and dusted the silk on my patch of Kandy Corn. will update in a couple weeks |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't grow corn but I have heard of using mineral oil on the silk for the worms. I love corn but my soil is thin. I can hardly wait to buy some from produce stands; sometimes you get good corn there sometimes not. My father used to plant sweet corn by the creek and I helped my mother freeze it. I used to get half. Blanched and frozen properly it keeps its good taste. |
- Posted by oldgardenguy60 none (My Page) on Thu, Jul 3, 14 at 9:21
So far so good no sign of worms yet but have noticed a lot of ladybugs this year way more than the last several years they eat the young worms and eggs so maybe that and the lime will do the trick , should be picking a few ears this week |
I quit using anything for ear worms. I get some damage but nothing I can't live with. Mine isn't nearly near the ear stage! My worst damage with be from raccoons. We just caught a big one in a trap in the chicken yard. Something dug under the fence and killed two chickens....probably the raccoon. |
- Posted by sunnyside1 z6/SW Mo. (My Page) on Sat, Jul 5, 14 at 14:27
Glenda, if you sprinkle hydrated lime around your block of corn, the raccoons won't cross it. At least that worked for us. Sunny |
I even have a bag of hydrated lime in the barn. How wide a line? I am definitely going to try that this year. |
- Posted by sunnyside1 z6/SW Mo. (My Page) on Wed, Jul 9, 14 at 20:51
I think Tim made the lines a foot wide (?), but that was some time ago! I'm guessing, though. I'd think at least 6 inches wide -- that's what I'd do now. But/And it worked, The nice fellow at the feed store told us about hydrated lime, Glenda. Sunny |

Less damage than in the past can't say that the lime helped I had planted radishes as companion plants in my squash and on the end of the corn that adjoined it had no damage about three rows the other 9 rows had about 50% damage. planting second crop and will intermix radishes with the whole patch, |

Chris and Annie,
Thank you so much for the use of your lovely home. The place is both beautiful and relaxing after long days at the parks. We look forward to our next visit. The people from sunshine homes were the best.
The villa is situated in the long established part of Westridge on a large elevated private corner lot. This area is a long way back from hwy 27 and is very quiet and peaceful. The subdivision is well laid out with green grassy communal play areas a sports court and a cabana with pool. You can also walk along the edge of the green swamp and watch Florida wildlife in its natural setting.
This really is a beautiful location to spend time and relax. Lots of families plan to visit the parks but find their children wanting to stay and play in pool or use the amenities in the subdivision.
