Nationwide: House prices back in the red for first time in six months as stamp duty hangover hits
Back on the slide: House prices are falling again annually says Nationwide
House prices are falling again annually, Nationwide has reported, as the temporary effect of a minor stamp duty rush finally vanished and property values dipped one per cent in March.
The renewed downturn saw house prices fall 0.9 per cent year-on-year on the building society's index – the first annual fall in six months.
Nationwide's chief economist Robert Gardner said the slowdown seen in March was to be expected, as the removal of the stamp duty break up to £250,000 for first-time buyers hit, although if the economic outlook improved this dampening effect may fade.
But he sounded a word of caution to those expecting any dramatic improvements in a moribund property market.
He said: 'However, in our view the challenging economic backdrop is likely to continue to act as a drag, with house prices moving sideways or modestly lower over the next twelve months.'
How did house prices both fall and rise in March?
In a quirk of statistics the fall in
house prices recorded by Nationwide in March actually came as the
average property value rose on its index during the month, to £163,327
from £162,712 in February.
This comes due to monthly percentage change figures being seasonally adjusted, an economic tool which aims to provide a fair comparison between traditionally slow and bust property transaction months.
Nationwide said that the stamp duty holiday, which expired on 23 March, 'had provided a temporary boost to house prices in early 2012 as buyers brought forward purchases that would otherwise have taken place later in the year,' seeking to save up to £2,500 in tax.
The tax now charges one per cent of the purchase price for all properties costing more than £1250,000 and up to £250,000, when a punitive three per cent levy kicks in, taking the stamp duty bill up to at least £7,500.
Nationwide estimated that around 65% of first-time buyers would pay stamp duty in the coming tax year, meaning they must raise this extra sum on top of already high mortgage deposit requirements.
Nicholas Ayre, director of home buying agents, Home Fusion, said the fractured property market is seeing prices in popular areas supported by a shortage of stock, while elsewhere suffers.
He said: 'Annual prices are back in the red for the first time in six months but, hand on heart, that's probably where they belong.
'It's a fair assessment that overall prices will move sideways and modestly lower over the course of the next year. But as ever, certain areas will defy economic conditions and prove robust, while other areas will go into freefall.'
Bumping along: The Nationwide chart shows how average house prices fell sharply from their 2007 peak, before regaining some ground and then stagnating.
Nationwide has also released figures
for the first three months of 2012, which showed house prices rising
annually in seven out of the 13 UK regions.
The North saw the strongest growth, with a 0.6% rise taking the average house price to £114,828.
Wales saw the biggest drop, with a 3.1% dip dragging typical prices to £129,682.
Meanwhile London, which recorded the strongest year-on-year price rise at 2.3%, saw a 0.7% dip in house prices over the three months, taking average prices to £293,375.
Nationwide said the return of an average £1,800 stamp duty bill for first-time buyers would, 'pose a further headwind to housing market activity in an already challenging environment.'
It added that the new seven per cent stamp duty levy for homes costing more than £2m introduced in the Budget would also have an effect, albeit modest, given the small number of properties hit.
It said that in 2010 there were 4,000 such transactions, accounting for just 0.5% of total residential property transactions in the UK.
Above average: Despite the drop from their 2007 peak, house prices remain expensive compared to the long-run average ratio to average earnings

Corporate profits are higher than ever and the stock market just set another record. Yet they are obsessed with gutting 'entitlements' and destroying Obamacare, Social Security union and Medicaid.
Here are some rational, logical and fair solutions that will work:
• Establish a Wall Street Transaction Tax – 1,800 billion over 10 years;
• Eliminate corporate tax loopholes – $1,240 billion over 10 years;
• Raise Soc Sec Cap to $170,000 – $457 billion over 10 years;
• Negotiate Medicare Drug Prices - $220 billion over 10 years.
Yes, practical rational and fair solutions that do not brutalize the elderly, poor and children at the expense of the rich. Exactly the reason an extremist GOP will not consider them.

I like to think of myself as a loyal American. I've never visited Canada. I eat red meat several times a week and make sure to throw out any leftovers. I've been known to disparage the Useless, er, United Nations. But as I piloted the XC70 around a supermarket parking lot filled with SUVs and crossovers, I could not help but wonder: What is wrong with this country?
Seriously, spending time in the XC70 makes it very difficult to understand why people have such an aversion to station wagons. The Volvo has plenty of room for five people and their things, features all-wheel-drive versatility, and handles and rides like a car - because it is a car. A really good one at that.
I loved looking at all the offbeat shapes and grains on the dash, even if they all felt a little harder than what one expects in a near $50,000 vehicle. Like Jean, I thought the seats could use a bit more bolstering, but that probably had a lot to do with the way I was driving. After all, I had to show those high-sitting buffoons what they were missing.

Council Approves Weekend and Evening Parking Fees
By a vote of 6-1, the Austin City Council today approved charging fees for street parking downtown on evenings and weekends.
The vote extended paid meter downtown until midnight weekdays and all day Saturdays. Parking meters elsewhere in the city will be enforced from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
The extended meter hours will take effect sometime after August.
Right now, meters are enforced from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. weekdays and weekends are free. The city says it wants to make the changes to increase turnover of metered parking spots, get more people to park in garages and increase city revenue.
Council member Laura Morrison was the only 'no' vote on the measure.

Breakfast Topic: Does world PvP feel dishonorable? {WoW}
Nov 6th 2010 5:04PM I definitely understand the mindset of the players that play by the idea of gank or be ganked; the problem is it often goes far beyond what it should, in that you attack those who are sporting targets (ie: fair fight, stand a chance in hell). People grow so used to the toxic environment created by the asshats that think ganking level 5s as a level 80 toon is somehow fun for both sides. For most people it would be boring, as there is absolutely no challenge in it on one end and absolutely nothing you can do about it on the other end; the only source of entertainment that a player gets from the lowbie dying is a sadistic pleasure in the annoyance and/or suffering of another human. I understand their mindset, but that doesn't make it right.
Players that kill all lowbies they see or even go out of their way to find and camp lowbies; are nothing but bullies and finding gratification in a victory that means nothing; because there is no challenge. I on the other hand actually go out of my way to find players that not only stand a chance of killing me, but actually pose a challenge; because I understand that to thrive in pvp and become a better player, you have to fight people that force you to be at your best...otherwise you are just stroking your own ego while slowing becoming a worse player as your play skill stagnates from disuse.
If you are killing someone who never stood a chance for your own amusement and you think that is pvp or you think that makes you a good/better player; you're a moron, flat out.
Blood Sport: Not every good PvPer is a gladiator {WoW}
Oct 26th 2010 12:19PM I know that even though my server's population is fairly medium level; our pvp scene is pretty small. I have had a bitch of a time finding not just good partners, but good partners that are reliable and not going to quit for another comp even when your's is doing very well on a whim.
It might be an issue that I started playing a few months before Wrath and didn't start doing Arena until season 7, and only got very serious about it in this last season; but I had to constantly deal with the fact that the pvp player pool on my server is nearly constantly tapped dry. I was very fortunate to convince a holy paladin from my guild to heal 3s for me (and this guy probably has 1 equal on the server, he's that good (the other paladin is a online friend of mine, but has a 2/3/5s team at all times)) and a prot warrior who was also having trouble finding partners.
So taking into account I spent as much time or more trying to find teams (with a few apathetic weeks of not bothering) than actually playing matches; hitting 2k for me was a pretty damn satisfying moment; I only regret that my teammates didn't quite make it due to the slight difference in their rating from the team rating (personal/team rating is some bullshit by the way).
If you look up my name in armory "Lornehil" I'm the only one.
Scattered Shots: Hunter information from BlizzCon 2010 {WoW}
Oct 25th 2010 10:41PM @Rob: No, they could still sit on us fairly easily, just not all day long like they currently do. So it would be unfair for me to kite a warrior but it's perfectly balanced for them to be able to close a gap 2 times for every time I can and to have 1 baseline spam-able slow and a aoe spam able slow that any dps pvp warrior will pick up, of the two, 1 will have basically a 99% uptime on their target.
So that balanced? Not really, but they took a stance early in wrath that being kited endlessly was not fun for melee and they made damn sure melee had the tools to fight some of the games strongest kiters; which ironicly, is not hunters (at least in pvp). They wanted to make melee have a chance against kiters like frost mages. So in making them able to combat a spec with that level of ranged kiting ability, they made it far far to easy for most melee to just sit on any class with far less kiting utility, like a hunter. And it's not like I completely disagree with the fact that being kited endlessly is bullshit; I have experienced the other end a lot during this expansion (in that the melee were basically inescapable due to their ability to gap close and slow ad-nauseum) but there should be some sort of equilibrium, they should have the should have the ability to nail me to the floor no more than I have the ability to kite them, it's not fun when your opponent has complete control over your movement the entire game, whether that mean that they are sitting on you most of the game or that you can't touch them most of the game.
Other commenters (and the person who posed the original question at Blizzcon (though he was and idiot in how he posed it yes) are correct in that many other classes have baseline movement increase ranging from 10-15% above normal land speed with no gimp attached to it (although Ferals have 30% higher movement speed with no daze) on top of their spam-able slows and other gap closers. Most of these are, as many counter arguments pose - talented. So I pose a counter to that counter - fine, make us talent away the daze. Any pvp hunter would gladly spend the talents to do so; and remember we also sacrifice a fair amount of AP to be in cheetah as well.
MY issue with cheetah arose mostly while leveling though when it became clear to me that cheetah was simply suppose to be a movement increaser for reduction in travel time; I was very aware that the daze was in there for pvp balance reasons and was yet another reason why spells should function differently between pve and pvp to prevent balance measures needed in one facet of the game to completely fuck over the other side.
So MY solution would be this honestly - Make the daze only trigger on player based damage, npc and environment damage shouldn't trigger it because honestly a hunter find a cool and interesting way to solo elites would be cool (though kiting is often useless on abnormally large mobs as they move much much faster than us) yet blizzard acts like it would be a horrible thing for hunters to solo world npc elites or something. Cause, you know, tons of other classes don't find ways to solo world elites all the time *que rolling eyes* (and when they do, it's seen as a cool achievement, not something that is broken and needs to be nerfed). Then, if you want to, put a talent that removes the daze from player damage, and possibly lowers the movement speed to 15% at the same time. See, there is a choice, and interesting choice even. And if it's one thing that blizzard has made VERY clear OVER and OVER (seriously, beat us over the head with it some more please?) that they are all about choices, and even more about interesting choices.
So yeah, do that; and while you're at it, put a personal dps incentive on my fucking true shot aura finally, that's another relic from the old days that you seem to just not change due to some inherent fear that it would be too good. News flash! 2 other classes have the same talent and get a quite nice bonus for picking up, while a 3rd class now has it baseline. That means that it will be so prevalent that it will be basically useless for MM to pick up TSA. Thanks for making and iconic talent of my tree the worst possible version of the talent from a player's perspective, thanks.

Breakfast Topic: What does your class choice say about you? {WoW}
Oct 10th 2010 6:54PM So yeah...all this religious vs atheism light using players stuff is sort of a moot point. In game Atheism can't really exist as the reason for atheism (ie: lack of absolute (or even situational really) proof of existence) is not relevant in Azeroth; the light has obvious proofs of existence in both the fact that players tap into it's energies and literal physical representations in the Naaru as manifestation of that power.
Atheism doesn't make sense in the context of WoW; if religious believes really mattered that much in player's choice of class or game I doubt incredibly orthidoxed faith practicers would even play a game with magic; sort of like all those Harry Potter book burnings because of the evil 'devil' stuff. It is just a game, and escape from reality. We may choose certain classes because we like the lore or the style; but who we are as a person isn't that connected to our class choice.
I enjoy many classes, but my main is a hunter, I've always love the idea of a marksman; that master bowman that could hit a spiriting mark at 100 yards or more, anywhere he wanted, down to a whisker. After that's it almost definitely the shaman; master of the elements? Yus plox. As for my out of game beliefs, I'm a agnostic (aka - Skeptic) as Absence of Proof Does not Infer Proof of Absence (basically there is now way to prove or disprove the concept of a higher power and thus neither absolute conclusion can be absolutely correct).
All the World's A Stage: Common name conventions {WoW}
May 24th 2010 1:51AM I had been wondering about last names for Draenei honestly. I hadn't really seen them amongst any of the npcs so I wondered if they even had a place in their society. It does make me wonder though whether they then even place much emphasis on family ties or if their entire race is just sort of 'one family'.
Anyway, these were the names I ended up using for my characters:
Lornehil - Draenei Hunter
Eostre Riverbloom - Nightelf Druid
Saga - Draenei Shaman
Kira Theois - Human warrior (I use her last name as her character name and plan to use a title that comes before the name)
Panacia - Draenei Priest
James Merim - my planned worgen mage

quote:What another fine mess Mitt Romney has gotten himself into. In telling some of his big campaign contributors, on a Wednesday conference call listened in on by at least two reporters, that he lost the election because President Obama bestowed "gifts" on blacks, Hispanics, and young voters, the Mittster has brought another large heap of opprobrium down upon his finely chiseled numbskull, including some finely crafted words of criticism from my colleague Alex Koppelman. As usual with Romney, it's hard to tell whether his biggest problem is his thorny relationship to the English language, his rich-guy empathy deficit, or his stunning disregard for, or obliviousness to, how his words will be received. Whatever the problem is, I thought, as a parting gift to someone who rarely failed to deliver for the campaign press, I'd do a quick translation. Here, then, is what, I'm sure, Romney meant to say:
quote:We will never have welfare reform in America when speaking out against it draws the ire of absolute a-holes like rickgrimes.
quote:But it wasn't just a quid pro quo. Successful political parties aren't just machines that deliver material benefits to their base. They are also about values—values that engender a sense of belonging and optimism among the voters, values which reflect what's happening in the country. In embracing Hispanics, Asians, blacks, young voters, gays, and women, especially single women, the President signalled to these voters not only that he is on their side but that he believes they represent the future of the country, which, in demographic terms, they do. For decades, we Republicans have claimed to represent the real America, but increasingly we are the party of the past. That has to change. In needlessly alienating the groups that are growing fastest, we are cutting our own throats.
quote:During the primaries, I should have stood up to the right more, especially on immigration and abortion. Saying I was "severely conservative" was another big error. It alienated moderates, and the conservatives and evangelicals in the Party didn't believe it anyway. Once the primaries were over, I should have pivoted to the center a lot more quickly and picked a less polarizing running mate—preferably a certain hefty individual from New Jersey. Waiting until the first debate to display my moderate colors was crazy. We should have done it at the convention in Tampa. Sure, the conservative wing of the Party would have been miffed, and they might have caused some trouble, but the sight of them getting angry would have helped us with independent voters in places like Virginia and Florida.
quote:Winning big majorities in conservative states like Oklahoma and Tennessee didn't help us any, and it won't help us in the future. If our party seriously wants to reëstablish itself as the national party of government, rather than a regionally based anti-government protest party that relies on redistricting to assure it a big presence in Congress, it simply has to become more moderate. The lesson of my candidacy—and of the candidacy of my predecessor, John McCain—is that putting a moderate, non-ideological figure at the top of the ticket isn't enough. By the time he (or she) has done what is necessary to win the primaries, the voters no longer look upon him (or her) as a centrist.
quote:RP could've slayed it...
quote:Nah, they would filet RP too because he doesn't cater to certain groups on specific issues
quote:It's an amusing situation when observing factually correct information is considered a "gaffe".

We are doing a kitchen remodel, and the new configuration will have a cabinet in front of our heat register. So, our installer made a new floor register for us using some flex duct. The original register needs to be sealed off, so the installer put a piece of drywall over the opening. However it seems to be leaking a bit (into the wall and basement)and I am wondering if there is a better way to seal off this duct opening (the duct opening is in the wall, at the base of the wall). Any ideas?
Thanks in advance. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Do you have access from below? Find the line feeding the old duct and remove it, then close off the hole left in the remaining duct. |
- Posted by ryanhughes (My Page) on Tue, Mar 29, 11 at 23:49
Echo what was said above. Otherwise it sounds like the duct leading to the old register is still trying to deliver air? |
- Posted by energy_rater_la (My Page) on Wed, Mar 30, 11 at 17:45
maybe just air leakage between basement & kitchen |
Thanks brickeyee. That makes sense. Another question: What is the best way to seal off the hole in the duct, once I remove the feeder? Should I just tape a piece of sheetmetal over the hole? |

Animatus - work of Hyungkoo Lee
Since the 31st of May and until the 31st of August 2008, the Naturhistorisches Museum of Basel is presenting an amazing exhibition by South Korean artist Hyungkoo Lee. We all know cartoon characters such as Bugs Bunny or Tom & Jerry, but would we ever have expected to see their anatomy? Hyungkoo Lee is showing us through his work sort of a reversed process: paleontologists usualy start with bones and skeleton to recreate life (this is how we can figure out how dinosaures may have looked like, though noone has ever met one); Hyungkoo Lee on the contrary starts with a familiar creature to give it shape and, incredibly, life through its anatomy. This extraordinary exhibition is not only about art, but also science, evolution and communication. If you have the chance of visiting Basel or if you have the chance that this exhibition is coming in your town, run and go see it! For more information, see the below links: http://www.hyungkoolee.net/texts/texts.html http://www.hyungkoolee.net/animatus/animatus.html http://www.nmb.bs.ch/ausstellungen/animatus.htm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRo4EVt7aIU

Other than that, forget about no.1. Tanaka will be a Yankee. 2. Pinto and Herrmann can be fine. No need to plug this roster with yet MORE aging, declining "talent." 3. Possible. 4. They won't and they shouldn't. Wait until mid-May if he is doing well in AAA. 5. It is possible, but there also is the talk about stretching him out again . . . Also, Ibarra's status shouldn't matter. Duensing, Thielbar, and Ibarra as the three lefties other than Perkins who are good relievers (sorry, Pedro, you are not, and should be removed from the 40-man, in fact) isn't too many. Ibarra might be plucked if not protected and Duensing should be traded at the deadline if he does well this year.
Posted 15 October 2013 - 11:33 PM
2 - Agree, I think Pinto catches 80 -100 games and think a vet to fill in the rest would be a good idea. Mauer becomes 1B.
3 - This has to happen, no discussion.
4 - Don't see this happening unless Plouffe implodes in ST. Twins need to wait until June.
5 - Can see why this could happen, but I doubt it.
Posted 16 October 2013 - 06:00 AM
2. I think they comfortable going with what they have. If they want a solid veteran backup, then Mauer can work with them and the pitching staff while he's taking grounders at first.
3. Agree.
4. I see this one as 0% likely. Not because of Hicks.
5. Unlikely. This is the prototypical contract the Twins love to give out.
Five predictions of my own:
1. Pelfrey is resigned.
2. Sano plays for the Twins at or by the ASB. Buxton is a Sept call up.
3. Gibson has a nice first complete year and checks in with an ERA just under 4.
4. Twins will sign 2 FA pitchers for a yearly average of 10 million or more.
5. The Twins will win 75 games next year.
Posted 16 October 2013 - 08:43 AM
Three is a possibility, depending on the money Hughes wants.
Other than that, forget about no.1. Tanaka will be a Yankee.
I think the Yankees will probably get Tanaka, but the Twins might have a better chance if the proposed changes to the posting process go into effect. Under the proposed new process, the Twins wouldn't have to have the top bid. Tanaka could choose from the top three teams.
Posted 16 October 2013 - 09:24 AM
#1 - without saying how big the Twins' bid will be, I think that your title statement is correct
#2 - tossup
#3 - kind of. I think he will ink a 2 year FA deal with a higher yearly amount than Willingham's but not sure if the total $$$ will be over $21 million but it will have a 3rd year option that will take it over the 21
#4 I hope so but make no predictions
#5 I think he's probably still a Twin next year

The Twins have 4 catchers on the 40 man now, and I honestly suspect Herman will be dropped (or at least should be). Pinto starts in AAA unless Doumit is traded. Doumit's PT is reduced to 2nd catcher and a lot less time at DH.
There will be buzz on Sano, but I think he starts the year in the AAA. Plouffe gets one more shot. If the bat sticks, then the Twins have a potential trade chip or move Plouffe elsewhere.
Deunsing gets another year, and if he's doing well, may sign a 3 year deal to avoid being non-tendered as he gets more expensive.

It is difficult for me to imagine a guy coming from Japan who wants to play for the Minnesota Twins rather than the New York Yankees.
That is a brand name they got in NYC, and every baseball fan in Japan knows of them.
I'm on a whiskey diet. I've lost 3 days already.
Posted 16 October 2013 - 09:39 AM
2- No way they sign a veteran catcher--Joe wants to catch, he will catch half the games and Pinto the rest.
3- Since the bar is low--the Twins will sign a pitcher for 2-3 years for $25-30 million who will disappoint--think Lincecom or Hughes--if lucky they will put up numbers equal to Corriera or Pelfrey (who will be resigned).
4- Sano will be 3B--not sure if before June 3 (my birthday) or not.
5- Gardy and Anderson love Duensing. He will be back.
Posted 16 October 2013 - 10:29 AM
2. No way - There are enough catchers to go around
3. Twins will do this - hope it is on 2 good starting pitchers - my bet is 1 from the middle of the pack
4. - No way Sano will come up after the Super Two cutoff if he is doing well in Rochester.
5. - Possible but I think they will pay him
A couple of my preditions
1. Twins will sign an international free agent for a goodly sum this winter
2. TR will make at least one trade for a player or pitcher at the major league level
3. Pressley will be sent to Rochester to see if he can be made back into a starter.

Yes, if the new bidding process takes place, the Twins will have zero chance of ever signing any big name Asian player. It will be big markets, or big Asian communities. St. Peter, the Pohlad's or whoever is representing the team in these kind of league-wide discusions better be strenuously arguing against this process. Of course on the surface it looks like a way to save some money, so they may not.
Posted 16 October 2013 - 10:48 AM
#2 I don't think so, it would signal the end of Mauer at catcher and even if Mauer is moved from the position, Ryan isn't going to be sending signals, it will be done quitely and smoothely internally.
#3 Shouldn't be hard, but it shouldn't have been hard last year either. We might get a repeat of Ryan's exhasperated "We can't get them to take our money!" meltdown on MLB TV.
#4 I agree, he will be the favorite, though in the end I think he'll be sent to Rochester. Of course if they do it at the last cut and the fans don't know it's coming, it might get ugly.
#5 I think he stays. He seems to be a management favorite and his second half was pretty good. That K/9 came out of nowhere, they might have found something valuable in him.
Posted 16 October 2013 - 11:06 AM
2 - agreed, but it will be of the Steve Holm/Rene Rivera ilk. Return of The Son of Sal?
3 - I doubt it. My expectation is that the Twins biggest FA pitching acquisition will be Pelfrey.
4 - No chance the Twins call him up before they push back his service clock the extra year. Fans will clamor, and the Twins will remind us of what happened with Hicks.
5 - 50/50. The Twins were chattering about moving Duensing back to the rotation, which could have been smoke to try and build up some trade value, but I think any other team would realize that if Duensing was a legitimate option to start there was no one in the Twins rotation that was blocking him.
Posted 16 October 2013 - 11:37 AM
2. The Twins will move Doumit this off-season, but NOT sign a Redmond or Molina-type defensive-minded catcher that can help the young catchers develop (in-game pitch calling, old veteran tips and tricks). The think that is what Steinbach is there for. Mauer will catch 100-120 games, Hermann 20-30 and Pinto (starts in AAA) will catch 20-30 as well.
3. True. The contract will be Tanaka's. A 5-year/55M deal.
4. Sano will start the year at AAA and be called up in mid-June. The Twins are done with the Plouffe experiment at 3B and will pick up Mark Reynolds on a cheap 1 year deal to hold the fort and provide some HR power.
5. Duensing will be retained and will prove to be a valuable part of the bullpen.
Posted 16 October 2013 - 11:39 AM
The Yankees, who will be intent on re-siging Cano and aiming to get Tanaka, will look to clear some money to fit under the luxery tax. They work out a deal to trade CC Sabathia to the Twins and eat $56 million of the $96 million still owed over the next four years. The Twins send two low to modest prospects, let's say Travis Harrison and Mason Melotakis, to the Yankees to complete the deal.
Sabathia then fails his physical and the offer is nixed leaving the Twins without the pitcher and the Yankees over the luxery tax threshold.
Posted 16 October 2013 - 11:42 AM

St. Peter, the Pohlad's or whoever is representing the team in these kind of league-wide discusions better be strenuously arguing against this process.
I think you're over-simplifying the factors that can go into a player's decision where to sign. You can't completely discount that an appeal to being the pioneer Asian star to play in a city like Minneapolis might draw some player. Or that the Twins might simply offer the nicest contract after winning one of the top three posting bids. I'm sure there'll be cases where your reasons are right.
Posted 16 October 2013 - 11:56 AM
#2 - This is the closest one to 50/50 I think. Signing a veteran backup is basically pointless but is Twins-like, so...
#3 - The bar is low, true, but I would bet against it. What free agent pitchers are (a) even vaguely realistic and ( slated to get over $21MM?
#4 - I think there's almost no chance at all Sano starts the season with the Twins, with injuries being a wild card.
#5 - The Twins seem to like Duensing and have plenty of payroll space, so I don't see why they would non-tender him.
Posted 16 October 2013 - 04:59 PM
2) Ok
3) Here is where if 1) doesn't come to pass, the Twins can still behave similarly to sway a disgruntled fan base. I put it at 70 / 30 that, should they NOT sign Tanaka, they DO sign a contract that surprises all of us, thought not necessarily with a FA pitcher. Remember, this team will be VERY cheap to field in a couple years as it is composed currently and is planned to be filled-in.
4) I'll plead partial ignorance, but can't they save potentially millions of dollars on the back end by holding Sano off for part of the year? If so, I foresee several post game questions asking when Sano is coming up being responded with phrases like, 'we don't want to rush' and 'he still has some things we'd like to see before we move him up' and 'the Major Leagues are a big step up, we want to make sure he's ready'. And, partial/total insincerity in the comments aside, I don't disagree with the decision. I don't want to see Sano walk in 2018 because he's too expensive. That's when we're going to the WS!
5) I'll take that bet, Nick.

1. Despite overall attendance numbers continuing their alarming downward trend, I predict there will be at least one sold out, SRO crowd at TF in 2014. My early analysis of weather trends, vacation bookings, historical patterns and airline reservations makes me think July is the most likely month for this to occur.
2. Desperate to revamp the starting rotation, TR will not bring back more than one 2013 full time starter* to the 2014 team.
3. Despite public pressure to add power by filling first base with a free agent and popular former Twin, TR will not sign Kent Hrbek.
4. TR will stubbornly refuse to trade up or down in the June draft, sticking with his one first round pick, right where it's at.
5. Torii Hunter will return to TF in 2014.
*made 30 or more starts for the Twins in 2013
And there you have it. Go ahead folks, tear them apart. Do your worst, but I'm sticking to these.

Toned down the wilder predictions to be a bit more realistic
Posted 16 October 2013 - 06:39 PM
2) I could see this happening but I'm indifferent to it.
3) I think we will see a 50M contract on a solid but not really good player
4) I'm already dreading the epic Sano opening day battles but I don't think there is any chance he is on the opening day roster.
5) I really hope that the Twins don't feel the need to get rid of an effective RP'er because of 2M. There's close to 50M available and it's not going to be spent anyway. Not surprisingly Duensing's numbers improved last year since he hasn't been jerked back and forth between the rotation and bullpen.
Posted 16 October 2013 - 06:50 PM
2. Welcome Back A.J. Pierzynski. Pinto makes the club out of ST... Mauer plays 1B Fulltime. Doumit is dangled until someone agrees to take him. He will DH or RF the majority of his playing time.
3. No doubt... It will be a pitcher.
4. Sano will appear when Plouffe gets hurt of is benched for the final time. Terry Ryan will be hoping that Plouffe stays healthy until Super Two Day. Whenever that is.
5. Duensing stays. The Twins will loyally pay it and Duensing will be just fine.
Now the Ad Ons:
6. Pierzynski, Pinto, Plouffe, Parmelee and Presley will have great 2014 Seasons. Pelfrey resigns and has a great 2014... So do Perkins and Pressly... Unfortunately... Anyone whose last name doesn't start with a P... Does not have a good year.
7. A.J. Pierzynski will admonish Michael Tonkin for spelling Golf Gulf.
8. Sometime during 2014... Chris Colabello will be called out for stepping out of the batters box and stepping on third base while swinging.
9. Encouraged by the rapid Growth of Kohl Stewart... The Twins draft another College QB with the 5th pick overall. Unfortunately Teddy Bridgewater signs with the Jaguars instead.
10. The Twins Caravan will make its final voyage after driving into Lake Bemidji after knocking over Paul Bunyan in a bad case of distracted driving... Babe the Blue Ox is unharmed but is admonished by A.J. Pierzynski for not protecting Paul and just standing there like some big dumb Ox.

Estimator: Good News for Texas's Economic Outlook
August 14, 2014 by TMO
"The Texas ECONOMY continues to expand. We're through recovery and into expansion."
That was the good news brought by John Heleman, chief revenue estimator for the office of the Comptroller of Public Accounts, to the members of the state's Legislative Budget Board (LBB) this week. Heleman offered a report on the state's economy and an overview of Texas state revenue.
In fact, he said, if Texas were a nation, the State would have the 12th largest economy in the world, slightly behind Canada, but larger than Australia.
It was good news all around from Heleman, who reported that the state's economy "CONTINUES to outperform" the United States' economy. Texas is "continuing its trend of growing faster than our nation as a whole." Heleman added that the Comptroller expects to see a little more money than anticipated in the rainy day fund, with an anticipated ending balance of about $8.4 billion for FY 2015. And, that figure assumes passage by Texas voters of Prop. 1 in November, which would transfer $1.7 billion out of the rainy day fund for highway expenditures.
And how is the state's revenue system performing? Heleman offered this analysis:
Sales tax – The state's largest tax has grown quickly. Figures released just this week show fiscal year-to-date state sales tax collections are up more than 5 percent.
Motor vehicle tax – Described as "particularly robust." In 2009, there was an "unprecedented" 22 percent decline in one year during the early part of the recession. There were few NEW CAR PURCHASES. Sales tax receipts are up 6.25 percent this fiscal year.
FRANCHISE TAX – The state is nearing the estimated $4.7 billion in receipts. A rate reduction in effect this year could very well be extended – and doubled – next year.
Oil production and natural gas tax – Tax receipts in this category are "outproducing what was expected," largely due to Eagle Ford Shale.
In spite of these positive numbers, LBB member Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst warned that the state continues to grow in population by 1.7 percent per year, and that growth will have an impact on the money needed to fund public education and the state's "SAFETY net programs."
In his overview of the state ECONOMY, Heleman said Texas entered the recent recession later than the nation as a whole, exited at the same time, but lost fewer non-farm payroll workers than the United States as a whole.
He said Texas' current payroll worker number are up 3.3 percent over the last 12 months – growing "twice as fast" as employment growth of the nation. And, the state's unemployment rate of 5.1 percent is a full percentage point better than the nation's.
"We still have 31 states that have yet to recover all their jobs they lost in the recession," said Heleman. "Many states are struggling. We're not seeing that in Texas."
The Comptroller's Office representative said by November 2011, Texas had recovered all of the jobs it lost as a result of the recession. The United States, however, is just now at the same level of employment as it was six and one-half years ago.
Regarding housing, Heleman said the United States market is "struggling to recover," while Texas is doing "somewhat better" and the inventory on the market is growing smaller. Regarding COMMERCIAL office space, Heleman said the Dallas, Houston and Austin Class A office space vacancy rate is below 10 percent, even with new construction and higher rental fees.
THE PRICE OF OIL has "settled down," according to Heleman, and is "relatively stable." The focus in Texas now is on crude oil. He explained that there are currently about 900 rigs in the state and only 74 of them are drilling for natural gas. The other 800-plus are drilling for crude oil, evidenced by the increase in activity in both the Eagle Ford Shale area and the Permian Basin.
Later this week, State Comptroller Susan Combs said she anticipates there will be at least $232 million more in revenue than her official estimate last year. That excess will likely allow the State Legislature to extend the current FRANCHISE TAX cut for most businesses and increase it to 5 percent.

Without naming names, Rick Perry accused some former members of Congress of "hiding behind a definition" when describing themselves as "consultants" despite engaging in what he believes is lobbying — a veiled swipe at Newt Gingrich, who worked as a consultant for mortgage giant Freddie Mac before its collapse.
"I think we need to look at banning the ability of members to become lobbyists, or at least extending the waiting period beyond the current law, and we also need to look at the definition of lobbying," Perry said today on Sean Hannity's radio show.
"A lot of these members of the legislature or members of Congress, they become, quote, consultants to trade and lobbying organizations without actually registering as lobbyists, but you and I both know that's just, you're hiding behind a definition," he said. "If you're making that kind of money from trade and lobby organizations, yet you're, quote, a consultant there's no difference. Let's quit being politically correct here and call it for what it is. You're trying to influence people. You're getting paid for it. Americans know that's lobbying."
Several months after he retired from Congress, Gingrich was hired as a consultant to Freddie Mac and was paid more than $1.6 million over eight years. Gingrich has insisted he was working as a "consultant," and what he did was different from what a lobbyist does. Perry has yet to take Gingrich on by name for engaging in lobbying.
In a television advertisement released this morning, Perry described himself as a "truth teller" who will fight "political correctness" in the nation's capital, specifically by refusing to ignore that lobbying is a "form of legal corruption."
"Washington is the capital of political correctness, where double-speak reigns and truth is frowned upon," Perry says in the ad. "You can't say that congressmen becoming lobbyists is a form of legal corruption or that we give aid money to countries that oppose America. Or that Washington insiders are bankrupting Social Security. You and I know it's true, but not politically correct. I'm Rick Perry, an outsider who will overhaul Washington and tell you the truth."

Agricultural Officials Encourage Residents to "Gift Local" this Holiday Season
Christmas trees, cheese, turkeys are among locally produced items available for giving
"Massachusetts growers and specialty food producers offer an exciting range of seasonal items, perfect for holiday gift giving and decorating," said Commissioner Soares. "Buying local promotes Massachusetts businesses and stimulates the economy across the Commonwealth."
- Make your centerpiece this holiday season, a "fresh dressed" local Mass Grown & Fresher bird, available from more than 16 turkey farms across the state. Some growers offer turkey roasted to order complete with gravy and stuffing. Massachusetts farmers produce approximately 18,000 turkeys annually, valued at $2.7 million, including the sale of whole turkeys, gravies, turkey pies, and other related products. For information about where to purchase Massachusetts-grown turkeys, visit http://www.mass.gov/agr/massgrown/turkey.htm .
- 23 farms around the state produce more than 600,000 pounds of farmstead cheeses, as well as barrel churned butter. Approximately 24,500 gallons of milk from more than 400 cows and 180 goats go into making local varieties of camembert, blue, cheddar, Gouda, chevre and other cheeses. For a list of cheese producers and their products, see http://www.mass.gov/agr/massgrown/cheese.htm.
- Toast the holidays with wine made with Massachusetts-grown grapes and other fruit. There are 34 wineries located across the state, producing about 200,000 gallons of chardonnay, pinot noir, Riesling, gewürztraminer, pinot blanc, and pinot gris and other varieties annually. Wines made with fruit such as cranberries, apples, raspberries, strawberries, and pears add unique local flavor. For information on Massachusetts wineries visit
http://www.mass.gov/agr/massgrown/wineries.htm .
- Plan a trip to a Massachusetts Christmas tree farm, where families can choose from ready-cut trees or harvest their own. Many Massachusetts Christmas tree farms also offer wreaths, swags, and centerpieces made from locally grown evergreens. Massachusetts Christmas tree plantations also help preserve open space and provide habitat for wildlife. Some farms sell out early, so call ahead to confirm the availability of trees. For more information, visit http://www.mass.gov/agr/massgrown/index.htm and search for Christmas trees.
- Massachusetts growers produce half a million poinsettia plants annually. These harbingers of the holiday season are available in traditional red, as well as white, pink, and bi-color, from local independent garden centers, farm stands and florists. http://massnrc.org/farmlocator/map.aspx?Type=Garden%20Center
Other gifts:
- The 2011 Massachusetts Agriculture Calendar makes a great gift. Calendars, which feature the winning photos of Bay State farming from the department's annual photo contest, cost $10. The proceeds benefit Massachusetts Agriculture in the Classroom, a non-profit organization that works with teachers to develop classroom materials. Published by Massachusetts Agriculture in the Classroom Inc., in cooperation with DAR and the US Department of Agriculture, the calendar features a winning photograph each month, plus several honorable mention winners. To view the calendar, visit
- The Massachusetts Specialty Foods Association offers "The Flavors of Massachusetts" gift baskets. Available in several sizes, assortments include Massachusetts sparkling cider, fruit jams and jellies, honey, maple syrup, cranberry chutney and candies, and more.
Local meals:
- For those who would rather eat than cook, an increasing number of restaurants are sourcing food from nearby farms. No matter where you are in the state, there is sure to be a chef cooking up a feast using apples, cranberries, greens or meats that were grown or raised by a local farmer. You can visit your regional buy local group ( www.mass.gov/agr/massgrown/buy-locals.htm) for additional resources on finding farm fresh food grown in or near your neighborhood.
DAR's mission is to ensure the long-term viability of local agriculture in Massachusetts. Through its four divisions - Agricultural Development, Animal Health, Crop and Pest Services, and Technical Assistance - DAR strives to support, regulate and enhance the Commonwealth's agricultural community, working to promote economically and environmentally sound food safety and animal health measures, and fulfill agriculture's role in energy conservation and production. For more information, visit DAR's website at www.mass.gov/agr , and/or follow us at http://twitter.com/MDARCommish.

Mmmmm, this stuff is so yummy! I am addicted to the sweet berry flavour and apply this stuff obsessively all day. It leaves my lips soft all day!
I have at least three of these stashed around so I know I will have one wherever I am. I traded the traditional mint for this and this is so much more hydrating. It instantly makes my lips feel better when they are so dry they hurt. Also, it leaves a berry like tint, hardly noticable, but it does make your lips look flushed, I like that a lot. Love the smell, Love the product!!
More reviews by breaklinedestroyed
pretty good. leaves my lips looking red and healthy colored, even though it's supposedly not tinted. smells nice too.
The best lip balm I have tried thus far. I'm not such a fan of the original Burt's lip balm, but this is fantastic. Not waxy, just light and emollient. LOVE IT!!!
I'm kinda liking this stuff. Its not waxy and not oily. Its a mix between both so it's smooth application. The scent is nice like a pomegranate (duh), but its not strong nor does it have a sugary scent to it. It's doing a good job of keeping my super dry lips moist and it last for a little bit. My favorite Burts Bees is still the honey I guess cause its a little waxier and lasts a little longer. However this isnt bad if dont like waxy balms and a want subtle scent.
More reviews by sparklegirlMpls
Absolute heaven! All I want from a lip balm are two things: good texture and good moisture. Burt's Bees Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil delivers on both counts. It's smooth (not waxy) without being greasy, and it stays put for hours. And unlike other balms that only hold in (and don't *add*) moisture, this truly moisturizes my lips. The fragrance is low-key and pleasing. This is my holy grail lip balm!
I really like the scent of this because it's so different... but for some reason this lip balm seems to give me little tiny pimples around my lips. It must be the pomeranate oil because I've never had this problem with other Burt's Bees balms. So, obviously, I rarely use this lip balm because zits aren't exactly the most attractive thing ever... and it kinda sucks bc it smells so good and does a nice job of moisturizing :/
More reviews by baby_grazi_x05
YESYESYES! I will continue to repurchase this a thousand times over. If Burt were real, I'd marry him. And his bees. I love the original balm, but it's a little too waxy. I loved the peppermint tingling sensation more than anything else about it. But I'd use it under my lipglosses, but it started to make them smell nasty. Some folks complain about the smell of this one, and I just love it. But I tend to really like herbal-y smells as they're usually very fresh and artificial smells tend to smell, well...artificial. A+ for this product!
I actually love this :D ~I do miss the minty freshness of the original, but what I like best about this new formulation is the higher level of hydration - I don't feel like I need to keep reapplying...there's more slip like a gloss rather than a waxy balm texture. The pomegranate scent is pretty strong and took some getting used to, but it doesn't annoy or bother me at all. I also like the sheer maraschino cherry tint that's left behind. It's flattering against my warm skintone and makes a good base shade for my spice & coral colored lipliners. The only thing that makes it fall short of perfection is the absence of spf. ~~~INGREDIENTS: sunflower seed oil * beeswax * coconut oil * castor oil * lanolin * comfrey root * pomegranate oil * sweet almond oil * anise oil * cassia oil * cinnamon leaf oil * clary sage oil * mandarin oil * tocopheryl acetate & tocopherol (VitE) * rosemary leaf extract * carmine * fragrance
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
My local health food store did not have my staple Avalon lip balm so I tried this. I developed contact dermatitis after using this on a daily basis. After reviewing the ingredients list the only thing I can conclude that caused it is the lanolin, carmine or fragrance. How Burt's Bee's can continue to claim all natural is beyond me. Look up the effects of Carmine and Lanolin is an animal by product. Never again will I try anything from this line unless they change some of their ingredients.

Earlier this year, Amazon announced that it was preparing a proprietary virtual currency specifically for its Appstore. Then the incorrigible Eric Ravenscraft spent a few thousand words explaining exactly why Amazon Coins, and any system that substitutes real money for meaningless points, is just a pretense for sucking money out of people's wallets. If you can't wait to pay Amazon's tax on those without common sense, you can now hand over your real dollars for fake ones to spend on apps and in-app purchases.

I haven't driven an Acura RDX for probably four years, and I can't say I've missed it in that time. The small premium crossover market has been inundated with newer offerings from Audi, BMW, Infiniti, Mercedes, Volvo, and others since Acura brought out the RDX. And each of those competitors has brought with it more technology, better powertrain choices, or better interior execution (if not all three).
I didn't have any issues with the performance of the five-speed automatic transmission, but the power delivery of Acura's turbo four-cylinder isn't nearly as linear or as refined as I'd like. It's not so much that Acura's engine is bad, it's that the Audi 2.0T is amazing and comes with an eight-speed automatic that enhances the experience even more. Oh, and thanks to the more advanced direct injection and wider gear-ratio spread on the Audi, the 20/27 mpg city/highway ratings for a Q5 2.0T absolutely trounce the RDX's 17/22 mpg figures when equipped with SH-AWD.
Acura's biggest problem with the RDX is that it is the oldest offering in a suddenly very competitive segment. The RDX isn't so far behind the other small luxury crossovers that it isn't worth a test drive, though. As much as we all like the Audi Q5, I'm willing to bet that an Acura dealer has a lot more wiggle room on price than Audi does right now.
Phil Floraday, Senior Web Editor
Phil hit the nail on the head, I think: the RDX is a good vehicle that has simply been outclassed by all the competition that has flooded its segment in the past several years.
What I want to know, though, is why Honda has not installed the RDX's feisty turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder all across its lineup? This company normally does things in a very calculated, careful manner, but it seems very strange to me that it would go through the expense of developing this engine -- which, despite a lack of refinement, is a lot of fun to drive -- for use in only one model. This engine would probably need to be detuned a bit for duty in the Acura TSX, the Honda Civic, or other front-wheel-drive applications, however. It's already putting out more power than the RDX's front wheels can handle. Thankfully, Acura's excellent SH-AWD system is available in the RDX.
Potential buyers would have a harder time equipping an RDX to avoid the ultra-stiff dampening in our test car. The RDX does have very sporty handling, but other manufacturers are able to deliver similar sportiness without such a harsh ride. In SH-AWD form, the RDX could be a nice option for people living in snowbelt states where the roads aren't too bad. But is it the best choice on the market? Probably not.

Comment entry 1: (I'm adding as I read or i'll forget everything I want to say at the end).
Badu - since when did you become the natural history narator?!?!? LOVING the commentory :)
The morning after the gimp got shitted
Trip Start
Feb 26, 2010
Trip End
Feb 26, 2011
Where I stayed
Hamner Springs Family Park
Armed with our 10% discount vouchers we arrived at Kaikoura Whale Watch and paid for our tickets, the total came to 261 Dollars even with the discount but it was something that we really wanted to do here so we had to bite the bullet and pay it, with Andrew still nursing a severe hangover I sat him down at the cafe and ordered the coffees. Our time slot was 8.15am and after all the safety briefings and bus ride over to South Bay we boarded the boat and made our way out to the deep waters of Kaikoura Canyon and our chance to see a Sperm Whale in its natural habitat. Apparently Kaikoura provides such a perfect environment for the whales due to the 'continental shelf effect' whereby the ocean floor drops suddenly from 90m where the water is warm to in excess of 800m where temperatures dip considerably. This overall effect leads to there being an abundance of food for these majestic mammals to feed on. The adolescent males of the species hang around in these waters until they are suitably old enough to be accepted as a mate – usually around 40 years – that's a lot of waiting around!
Anyway, we spent a couple of hours on the water patiently waiting and exploring different areas as the captain probed the water with his underwater microphone. We were told that the whales make that much noise under water that they can amazingly stun their prey! We saw lots of bird life including a few different types of Petrel, Albatross and even the huge Wandering Albatross which has the biggest wing span of any bird. We were fortunate enough to see it in flight which was absolutely awesome, but still no whale. Now Whale Watch guarantee that if you don't see a whale on the trip they will refund 80% of the ticket price so I was getting round to looking forward to another trip out on the boat. The radio was going crazy as our boat and the boat on the earlier slot were keeping in contact trying to ascertain where the whale activity was – things were getting desperate the company was staring a whole load of refunds in the face.
Then we heard a positive sound from the captain and we were allowed to stay on the outer deck and told to look out for the blowhole, and there it was in the distance, and there he blows. My heart skipped a beat. It was phenomenal. We moved closer and were able to see the top of the head and some of the body but of course what we really wanted to see was the tail. As I had been entrusted with the camera I was convinced that it was going to go out of focus at the crucial time – but no this time it was fine and I got the tail shot before he disappeared down in to the depths. The crew quickly announced that that was us out of time and we headed back to the bay. An experience not to be missed.
We cooked breakfast on the beach back at South Bay in the sunshine and nearly got attacked by a bunch of seagulls eagerly waiting for any scraps. They got what they wanted in the end by means of a home brand wholemeal crust – they seemed happier than we would have done eating it. Feeling stuffed we decided to walk off the bacon and eggs and do the Kaikoura Peninsula Walkway via another fur seal colony. We walked along the headland watching the seals frolic in the water below the limestone cliffs and it was a really enjoyable easy walk that took an hour or two and we got to see some old Maori pa sites along the route too.
At about 3pm we found it hard to drag ourselves away from Kaikoura but agreed that if we had time left at the end of our time here we would come back to climb Mount Fyffe. I found a silver necklace in the ladies public toilets before we left so took it in to the i-site to lost property – maybe there was a 'Kate' who was missing it. The drive to Hanmer Springs took us along part of the Alpine triangle and we arrived in Hanmer to find it surrounded by more snow capped mountains filled with pine trees – very, very Alpine. We stopped in at the i-site to get the low-down on the springs, the thermal pools that Hanmer is famous for and asked where we could free camp. The answer was nowhere as there was a by-law in place making it illegal. That said we asked about the cheapest campsite and were sent in the direction of the Family Parks on the edge of Hanmer. We got an unpowered site for 20 Dollars and cooked tea in the camp kitchen while we watched Aussie Masterchef, oh the joys of TV.

It is a clear sign of just how hammered BOTH OF YOU were if you could fall asleep with the smell of sheep shit rumerating around the vehicle.......hhmmmmmm

Riggleman, rest of Reds AAA staff returns for 2014
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WKRC) -- The Louisville Bats announced Monday that the field staff from its 2013 team, including former 12-year Major League veteran manager Jim Riggleman, will return for the 2014 season. Riggleman will be joined again by pitching coach Ted Power and hitting coach Tony Jaramillo.
For Riggleman, 61, 2014 will be his third season in the Cincinnati Reds minor league system and his second at the helm of its top affiliate in Louisville. The Bats went 69-75 in his first year and in 2014 will look for their first winning season since going 73-71 in 2011. Riggleman spent the 2012 season as manager of the Reds Double-A affiliate, the Pensacola Blue Wahoos, and went 68-70.
Power, 58, returns to Louisville for his ninth straight season as pitching coach with the Bats. In 2013, his Bats pitching staff tied for fifth in the International League with its 3.75 ERA and tied for first with its 13 shutouts. In recent years, Power has coached current Reds arms like Johnny Cueto, Homer Bailey and Tony Cingrani while with the Bats.
Jaramillo, 35, will serve in his second season in Louisville and seventh overall as a hitting coach in the Reds organization. This will be Jaramillos first time coaching with the same team for consecutive years since joining the Reds minor league staff. He previously coached in Billings (2008), Dayton (2009), Lynchburg (2010), Bakersfield (2011) and Pensacola (2012).
The 2014 season will mark both the Bats 15th season at Louisville Slugger Field and their 15th season as the top affiliate of the Reds.

($45) Bright red. Spicy cherry and wild strawberry aromas, with dark chocolate and licorice accents. Supple red and dark berry jam flavors show good depth and are accented by cracked pepper and mace. Finishes broad and sweet, with very good length and a refreshingly bitter cherry skin tone.

Graceful and elegant, full-bodied, this offers rich, complex notes of cola, spice and mixed dark berries. Firm, structured tannins mark the finish.

I understand that in Florida residents and non-residents alike must conceal carry with a valid permit. Florida also honors my state's permit, and I plan on going down there in April as part of a road trip. I will be carrying, but am worried that I might get caught printing, which is brandishing in FL right, it must be 100% concealed at all times?
I was planning on bringing my G26 as it is the smallest gun I own, and will be purchasing either a Galco Summer Comfort, or Comp Tac Infidel for it. Now I am thinking about buying a S&W 642 or 638, and just pocket carry it using a pocket holster, or one of them wallet holsters. I suppose I should buy a holster or two and see if I am able to successfully conceal it without printing.

Construction Progress Update
Our service desk is fully functional and the new self-service area is up and running. This area includes 2 copy/print machines, 6 self-checkout machines and a self-service fax, as well as a small work area.
This leaves just a few punch list items to complete and some finishing touches like signage and the delivery of a couple small tables. We are happy to report that this project is on schedule and within budget. Our PSIP page has complete information.

It is/was a brilliant plan - in my opinion. The centralized location of library service reminds me of kind of the French term "mise an place". The new carpeting says something possibly about the digital age or Piet Mondrian. The relocation of the statues looks great - impressive. Just a thought - I know funding is a major consideration but it may be a good idea to do some more renovation inside. Thank you.
