1001 Inventions and the World of Ibn Al-Haytham
Spotlight on the 11th-century pioneer of optics and scientific experimentation
Born around a thousand years ago in present day Iraq, Al-Hasan Ibn al-Haytham (known in the West by the Latinised form of his first name, initially "Alhacen" and later "Alhazen") was a pioneering scientific thinker who made important contributions to the understanding of vision, optics and light. His methodology of investigation, in particular using experiment to verify theory, shows certain similarities to what later became known as the modern scientific method. Through his Book of Optics (Kitab al-Manazir) and its Latin translation (De Aspectibus), his ideas influenced European scholars including those of the European Renaissance. Today, many consider him a pivotal figure in the history of optics and the "Father of modern Optics" (see references below).
Ibn al-Haytham was born during a creative period known as the golden age of Muslim civilisation that saw many fascinating advances in science, technology and medicine. In an area that spread from Spain to China, inspirational men and women, of different faiths and cultures, built upon knowledge of ancient civilisations, making discoveries that had a huge and often underappreciated impact on our world.
In January 2015, 1001 Inventions launched a high-profile international educational campaign and transmedia initiative celebrating Ibn al-Haytham. The global campaign '1001 Inventions and the World of Ibn al-Haytham' is produced by the UK based, science and cultural heritage organization, 1001 Inventions and Saudi Aramco's King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture, in partnership with UNESCO and the United Nations International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies (IYL 2015), celebrating the central role of light in science and culture.

Wrap-up: Browns 14, Jaguars 10
By Jamison Hensley
Thoughts on the Browns-Jaguars game:
What it means
: While it wasn't the most stylish of wins, the Browns ended their three-game losing streak as well as their two-game touchdown drought at home. Led by
Colt McCoy
, Cleveland had only two scoring drives, but both were impressive (going 87 and 85 yards). The Browns (4-6) remain in last place in the AFC North, trailing the Ravens and Steelers by three games.
: McCoy. The Browns quarterback showed physical and mental toughness. He shook off an injury to his right shoulder in throwing 199 yards and the winning touchdown. His 3-yard touchdown pass to
Josh Cribbs
in the fourth quarter came after the drive where he threw an interception in the red zone.
Defensive stand
: It's never easy for the Browns, and they needed to stop the Jaguars on five plays from the 5-yard line or closer. The final two plays of the game:
Jason Hill
dropped a pass in the end zone, and
Mike Thomas
couldn't reach the last throw.
Revving up the run game
: Even though
Montario Hardesty
was scratched -- he was a game-time decision -- the Browns had great success against the 14th-ranked run defense.
Chris Ogbonnaya
rushed for a career-high 115 yards and scored on a 1-yard run, which ended a touchdown drought at home that lasted more than 158 minutes.
What's next
: The Browns look to end their three-game road losing streak when they play at the
Cincinnati Bengals

About Paul Grilley
Paul Grilley's insightful yoga DVDs and online courses break yoga down to its fundamentals and stress the importance of looking at each unique body. Since no two human bodies are exactly alike, Paul offers that yoga cannot be taught in a uniform way; instead, it needs to be tailored to the individual and our unique bone structure. A Paul Grilley DVD will not only inform you about yoga, it might also change the way you practice or teach it.
Paul Grilley's Background
Paul bases his teachings on various philosophies, including Hatha, Ashtanga, and Taoist yoga, which stems from the martial arts master Paulie Zink. Paul Grilley especially promotes yin yoga because of its ability to calm and center us. In today's chaotic world, he feels that this is more beneficial than a purely muscle-building practice. At Pranamaya, a Paul Grilley DVD on specialties like Yin Yoga are always in high demand due to the popularity of these forms of yoga, as well as Paul's special insight.
Learn from the Classic Lesson Anatomy for Yoga
The Paul Grilley DVDAnatomy for Yoga is an especially useful tool for teachers looking to gain a deeper understanding of how specific postures change depending on a specific student's body composition. For example, a student whose arms are naturally a bit shorter may have a harder time reaching their hands to the floor in Dhandasana (staff pose). At the same time, a student with naturally longer arms may have to bend their arms to comfortably sit in this very same pose.
Yoga for Students of All Shapes and Sizes
Paul's approach to yoga is of paramount importance when teaching yoga to students of all shapes and sizes, as well as with varying levels of physical fitness. Purchase one of his DVDs, such as the Paul Grilley Yin Yoga DVD or Chakra Theory and Meditation DVD, to see how versatile your teaching style or personal yoga practice can be, and how much more welcoming this approach is to students of all types.
Quality Teaching at a Fair Price
Our media at Pranamaya is an excellent way to round out your yoga teaching style or personal yoga practice without breaking the bank. There are numerous yoga retreats, vacations, workshops, and teacher trainings that provide you with instruction from famous teachers such as those on the roster of master teachers at Pranamaya. The difference in buying one of our products is that these teachings come to you at a fraction of the price, without compromising on the quality of the instruction and your learning.
Why wait? Purchase a Paul Grilley DVD or another one of our outstanding Pranamaya products to deepen your yoga journey today.

6 Cleveland police officers charged in fatal '12 pursuit
Prosecutor Tim McGinty argued that the incident escalated when police continued to fire after the threat to public safety was over
By Mark Gillispie
Associated Press
CLEVELAND — A nighttime car chase in Cleveland that ended on a schoolyard where more than 100 shots were fired at the suspect's vehicle appeared to be over when an officer opened fire again, a prosecutor said in announcing charges against the patrolman and five police supervisors.
Cleveland patrol officer Michael Brelo stood on the hood of the suspect's car and fired at least 15 shots through the windshield — five fatal — at the two unarmed people inside, Cuyahoga County prosecutor Tim McGinty said Friday.
McGinty cited a U.S. Supreme Court ruling this week that said police can't fire on suspects after a public safety threat has ended. He said the other officers on the scene had stopped firing after the November 2012 chase ended.
"This was now a stop-and-shoot — no longer a chase-and-shoot," McGinty said in announcing two counts of manslaughter against Brelo. "The law does not allow for a stop-and-shoot."
Driver Timothy Russell was shot 23 times. Passenger Malissa Williams was shot 24 times. No gun was found on them or in their vehicle. The chase had begun when an officer thought he heard a gunshot from a car speeding by the police and courts complex, jumped into his patrol car and radioed for help. Police don't know why Russell didn't stop.
Brelo fired a total of 49 shots. In all, 137 shots were fired at the schoolyard, authorities say. None of the other 12 officers who fired shots were indicted, McGinty said Friday. Five supervisors were charged with dereliction of duty for failing to control the chase.
The killings have been decried as a racially motivated execution — both victims were black — and are part of a wide-ranging federal investigation, including into the police department's use of deadly force and its pursuit policies.
The chase involved five dozen cruisers and wove through residential neighborhoods, onto Interstate 90 and eventually ended in East Cleveland. McGinty said the chase covered 20 miles over 23 minutes and reached speeds of 110 mph.
Safety director Michael McGrath said 104 of the 277 Cleveland officers on duty that night were involved at some point.
The police union has defended the officers' actions and said the driver was trying to ram them. The president of the Cleveland Police Patrolmen's Association, which represents patrol officers, did not return repeated calls for comment Friday. The president of the Fraternal Order of Police, which represents the indicted supervisors, could not be reached.
Cleveland's police department has been dealing with the fallout.
Police officials announced in March that the department will limit when and how long squad cars can chase suspects. The revamped policy was in the works before the deadly chase, but what happened did influence the new guidelines, Police Chief Calvin Williams said.
A review of the chase led to the discipline of 64 of the 104 officers involved in the chase for violations of department rules, McGrath said. Twelve supervisors were disciplined, including one who was fired and two who were demoted, McGrath said.
An investigation by the Ohio attorney general blamed police leadership and communications failures during the chase. McGinty said investigating the chase was complicated by the fact that Cleveland cruisers don't have video cameras.
The 43-year-old Russell had a criminal record including convictions for receiving stolen property and robbery. Williams, 30, had convictions for drug-related charges and attempted abduction.
The estates of Russell and Williams have sued the city, the mayor and police. The lawsuit, which is still ongoing, asks the court to order the city to make changes in police policies to prevent similar situations.
The supervisors indicted on misdemeanor dereliction of duty charges were: Lt. Paul Wilson, Sgt. Patricia Coleman, Sgt. Randolph Dailey, Sgt. Michael Donegan and Sgt. Jason Edens.

Soldiers with matzot donated 370.
(photo credit:Tzvi Zelter/Hesder Yeshiva Meir Harel Modi'in)
The grandson of a Gulag prisoner, Avraham ben Avraham Haim, exiled by the Soviet
regime to Siberia during the Second World War, has donated 500 boxes of
hand-made matzot for soldiers and the poor.The descendants of Avraham,
the Golinsky family, decided this year to commemorate a unique act of dedication
to the Jewish faith that their grandfather performed in the cruel conditions of
a Soviet forced labor camp.In 1939, Avraham and his family, who lived in
the Polish city of Lodz, fled from the Nazis to the Soviet-held city of
Bialystok. But in 1940, the family, along with many others, was exiled by the
Communist regime to Siberia as prisoners of war.As Passover approached
that year, the Jewish members of a labor team, directed by Avraham, banded
together to prepare matzot for the festival.Lacking the requisite oven,
the group approached Avraham as a skilled, brave and natural leader, to build a
makeshift furnace.Avraham built the oven deep in the Siberian forest and
baked the matzot needed for Passover with the knowledge that if he were caught
he and his family would be put to death."The Zohar [a work on Jewish
mysticism] calls matza the 'bread of faith,'" said Avraham's grandson. "I hope
and pray that the matzot that are eaten this Passover will be a source of
inspiration for the coming year."The numerical value of the letters of
the name Avraham is 247 and the Golinsky family bought 247 pounds (more than 112
kg.) of matzot, equaling 500 boxes, for distribution in several locations around
the country.Students, rabbis and staff at the Hesder Yeshiva in Modi'in
helped deliver 150 boxes to needy families in the city, while 100 boxes were
given to the Le'Oro Nelech educational institute for distribution throughout
Israel. The remainder were distributed in Lod, with a consignment provided to a
community center in the city which holds a large communal Seder every year for
needy families, as well as to reserve duty soldiers on active
service.The Golinsky family says it has teamed up with the Hesder
Yeshiva in Modi'in because of the focus it puts on communal activities and that
the distribution of matzot this year was designed to underline the value of
"Ahavat Yisrael," loving one's fellow Jew, which was so pronounced in their
forbear Avraham.The distribution of matzot is just one of the ways in
which the yeshiva has helped express and demonstrate the unity and brotherhood
of the Jewish people, the family said.Director of the yeshiva Tzvi
Zeltzer explained that the dean and the rabbis of the institute have sought to
instill a sense of social responsibility in the students as well as help build
bridges between the religious and secular communities in Modi'in.One of
the yeshiva's flagship programs in this regard has been the creation of a
barmitzva project for non-religious youth in the city.The yeshiva
students and teachers provide an educational course for approximately 150 boys a
year, in three annual intakes, including lessons, activities and trips and
culminating in a bar-mitzva ceremony in the yeshiva when the individual
participants are called up to the Torah.The program consists of 10
meetings for the entire cohort, between 40 and 50 boys in each one, which
provide classes in Judaism, Jewish identity and social awareness.Another
10 meetings are arranged for one-on-one sessions between the boys and the
program educators, the yeshiva students and teaching staff, where they are
taught how to read from the Torah, put on tefillin and other religious
practices.The course involves volunteering activities for the boys,
including visiting the sick in hospitals and providing snacks and treats for
serving soldiers, as well as a trip to the Western Wall, a guided tour of the
Western Wall tunnels and a climactic bar-mitzva party with live bands, dancing
and general merriment.Zeltzer said that the barmitzva project has been
"incredibly successful" and, along with the yeshiva's other programs, including
study sessions for the elderly, open study programs for the general public in
Modi'in and an emphasis on committed IDF service, has led to ongoing contact and
ties between the yeshiva, the youth of Modi'in, and the broader community in the

Last Friday, Sony rolled out the PlayStation Now beta service onto the PS3. The public beta has been available on the PS4 for a while now, but this additional release spurred me to take another look at the service. This time, I wanted to test the latency on both the PS3 and PS4. The former is practically ancient technology in 2014, and it's WiFi configuration tops out at 802.11g. I was curious if that would make a difference when it came down to streaming a game.
Digital game downloads are worse for the environment than Blu-ray discs September 4, 2014 at 12:41 pm
You would think that the world would be a less polluted place if everyone switched to digital downloads, lessening the number of physical objects — and factories to produce them — in the world. A recent study suggests that even though removing physical objects lowers the potential for future for garbage, going digital isn't the best answer to cleaning up the planet.

"Lime Cottage - Be A Ware"
Lime Cottage itself is very comfortable but its not 5 star. It has neither privacy nor outlook and is overlooked by the other cottages on the site. The patio also looks on to the back yard clothes dry… More
Lime Cottage is a 5 star cottage it is 45 square meters in size spacious with the best layout & style compared to our other cottages. It is situated next to the other 2 cottages but often groups book all 3 cottages and there is not a problem. There is a view of the mountain & we are at present adding a patition to hide the washing which add the add the unique partitioning all around surrounding the green grass with fencing.
It has a 30 square meter modern patio which has state of the art frameless glass which gives you a feeling of being outside which is a huge advantage for summer & winter rentals & with the modern French style cottage with everything that opens & closes with the comfort of any 5 star spacious cottage and accommodation it remains and will always our cottage to get booked up first and is in demand from the same families year after year. We always strive to do our best at LeBonheur so this year we have added the partitioning which was suggested by one of our guests earlier in the year so we would like to thank our guests for their special recomendations so we can offer our guests a better service all the time

"Happy Landings"
This was our stay on arrival in Cape Town
Athol is a kind and responsive host.
The property is well situated in pleasant Constantia.
There are several lets on the same property, so to some degree you are reliant on mutual tolerance: this was no problem for us.
Our 9 year old grandson thoroughly enyoyed the pool and the garden.
At LeBonheur our guests always come first. We do our best to make their stay at LeBonheur as comfortable enjoyable & a feeling that that they have had a wonderful relaxing holiday & most of our guests come back if not annually but every second year. and often warm friendships are made that last for many years.This season we have managed to please most of our guests. Thank you for supporting LeBonheur which means " The Happiness "

Let me start by saying the location of this cottage in Constantia was excellent and there are lovely views from the rear of the properties. It is worth explaining that the property consists of one la… More
This particular client was saved by me the owner of being caught by the jaws of a hoaxer.They called me at Home confirming booking of the main villa for their wedding group.
I was alarmed as our main Villa had being booked out 18 months prior to December. I advised them that our three 2 bedroom cottages were available & they booked their accommodation. We spoke at least once a month telephonically so this guest became special to me at LeBonheur & I went out of my way to assist them, a colleague of mine who resigned in September 2014 had made a mistake by accepting a change of arrival date without consulting our booking system that put me in a spot on their arrival. I phoned around to eventually find alternate accommodation for them drovfr them down to show them where it was situated & they enjoyed their stay at the spot that I had booked for them & arranged a 10% discount.
They arrived the next day & enjoyed their stay at LeBonheur. I refunded them their one night's accomodation due to my colleagues mistake. They opted for weekly housekeeping service which our guests decide for themselves & my staff working under pressure over the December period did their best. You can't please everyone I have realised this obviosly the Bride who we had assisted over the time with the stress of a wedding trying to manage her group of friends may have being under pressure.But they got married & returned back to their homes & seemed pleased & one of the parties came back to spend a few more days with us. The 3 cottages are private away from the main villa with their own entrances & secure parking.My guests are shown where to park to accommodate all the cars over our peak period & I often will help my guests by parking for them but not everyone obeys the rules.I have learnt from this booking always being a perfectionist myself trying to please everyone it is impossible. But I will strive harder to reach that ultimate 100% of guests leaving LeBonheur with fond memories That is what holidays & special occasions are about. Take Care.

"A luxury self catering getaway"
We stayed in Lime Cottage for several months. It was extremely well laid out and the owners have taken care to ensure that you will find everything you need in the cottage. The cottage is nice and luxurious with a very cosy fireplace, which came in very handy for us during some cold winter nights.
The cottage is located within walking distance of Constantia Village, where there are several nice restaurants and grocery shops. Within a short drive of the cottage there are several wine farms and Kirstenbosch gardens.
The owners and the staff were very helpful and made every effort to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. We would certainly look to stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing, luxurious self catered holiday.
Lime Cottage is great for both Summer and Winter Holidays with it's wood burning fireplace and enclosed patio which opens up for Summer. Lime Cottage guests also have access to the Heated Pool and Jacuzzi.Big flat screen TV's with Satellite TV in Lounge and both bedrooms and 24 hour free WiFi available. We trust you will have a most enjoyable stay in our 5 Star Lime Cottage.

"Modern, well equipped cottage in lovely area."
We stayed for approximately 2 months in this luxurious, modern and extremely well equipped cottage. It is on a lovely quiet road and has good security. Equipped with the most up to date TVs and appliances - we wanted for nothing. All rooms are beautifully furnished and beds are large and comfortable. And to top it all the owners live on site and couldn't be more friendly and helpful - a great bonus if you're new to the area as we were.
Lime Cottage is our new 5 star Cottage with 2 double bedrooms with Memory foam beds which makes our guests stay very comfortable and with all to see and do in Cape Town they have a well rested night.
We also provide a baby cot and baby high chair for younger families.
Our guests enjoy the large enclosed patio and barbeque and use of heated pool.
One of the other main reasons guests choose our cottage is that we are situated nearby top golf courses and wine farms.

I loved how my invitations turned out! The process was easy! I also love the fact that they sent me multiple samples for free ( including shipping) before I made my final decision! I definitely would recommend this company to anyone.. As a matter of fact, I have been recommending them! Thank you magnetstreet for making wonderful products and for having great customer service as well!
The step information cards were great. It gave us enough amount of space to write our directions in english and in spanish. I was also able to add a map on the back and the magnet street team were great at helping me make it look great.

Deborah Silver explores landscape ideas and pulls customers in with her blog.
Deborah Silver's blog, Dirt Simple, is home to more than 9,000 photographs she has shared in the last few years, and a near-daily blog that she'll spend up to an hour writing. She takes her blogging seriously, and that's because it feeds her creativity personally and professionally. Plus, her blog has acted as a welcome mat for passionate gardeners who enter Silver's blog-world and take home ideas and inspiration.
"I have grown relationships with gardeners all over the country, and the blog has certainly driven some profit," she adds, noting that it steers some readers to Detroit Garden Works, which has a robust online store.
Here are some ways that Silver uses her blog as a tool for outreach, inspiration and business development.
Pushing borders. Silver meets gardeners from all over the country and world through her blog. And many of those people grow an interest in her store. "The Internet has decreased the distance between people dramatically, and my blog has a big readership in other states," she says. "People will write and leave comments about my posts, and I write them back … they're telling me about their situations and I'm sharing mine. It's a real exchange. It helps you to not be insulated in your little world."
Sharing successes. Silver keeps archives of photographs from finished landscape design projects, and she has found her blog is a happy home for these shots. Plus, as she shares ideas with her readers, she gains inspiration from their successes in the landscape. "It's great to be exposed to the ideas and projects of other people," Silver says.
Fueling creativity. The blog is a venue where Silver can explore her thoughts on landscaping. "I really think through certain ideas – you have to think things through before you can write about them," she says.
This is one of three stories that appeared in Lawn & Landscape's Business Builder e-newsletter. To continue reading about how Deborah Silver has grown here three businesses:
Designed to grow: Deborah Silver's three companion businesses fill the niche for specialty landscape and garden services.
Sustainable success: Fiscal conservatism helped these Detroit companies thrive during the worst of the economic downturn.
3032E and 3038E are the newest additions to the compact utility tractor line.

Video: Five-Year-Old Daniel Rossen of Grizzly Bear/Department of Eagles Impersonates Elvis
By Tom Breihan on February 14, 2011 at 2:50 p.m. EST
Well, this is awfully cute. Some kind soul has unearthed two ancient videos of Daniel Rossen, now a member of Grizzly Bear and Department of Eagles, doing Elvis impersonations when he was five. (Via Stereogum.) Video of any five-year-old doing Elvis impersonations is obviously cute, but somehow the knowledge that this guy is now an indie star puts it over the top.
Grizzly Bear's Blue Valentine Soundtrack Arrives
By Tom Breihan on January 13, 2011 at 6:30 p.m. EST
Way back in 2009, we reported that indie harmonizers Grizzly Bear were contributing music to Blue Valentine, the Ryan Gosling/Michelle Williams drama. Well, Blue Valentine is out in theaters now, and it includes a whole lot of Grizzly Bear music, though that music isn't new. The Playlist reports that the band had originally intended to contribute original music, but when the film's release date got bumped up, the band couldn't make the deadline. Instead, the film includes many instrumental versions of previously existing Grizzly Bear songs.
Grizzly Bear-Biting Ad Yanked
By Tom Breihan on October 8, 2010 at 4:15 p.m. EDT
Yesterday, we pointed out a couple ads that used music very, very similar to a few popular indie rock songs. One of those ads was a TV spot for Alabama's Troy University, and it used a song that recalled Grizzly Bear's "Two Weeks". Well, that ad is no more.
Fleet Foxes, Grizzly Bear Hijacked by TV Ads?
By Tom Breihan on October 7, 2010 at 5:45 p.m. EDT
In 1988, a Doritos commercial used a song that sounded remarkably like Tom Waits' "Step Right Up", right down to the singer's imitatation of Waits' distinctly gravelly vocal delivery. Waits sued Frito-Lay, Doritos' parent company, and won a settlement of $2.5 million. Again in 2006, Waits successfully sued Audi for using a soundalike in a commercial.
But that hasn't kept ad agencies from blatantly ripping off songs for ads. Take these two recent commercials involving Fleet Foxes and Grizzly Bear soundalikes.
Recently, a Spanish-language commercial for the sports equipment company Kipsta featured a song that bears a striking similarity to Fleet Foxes' "White Winter Hymnal", while an ad for Alabama's Troy University is backed by music that sounds a hell of a lot like Grizzly Bear's "Two Weeks". (Thanks to Matt Stewart for noticing the Troy ad.) You can watch the ads and hear the songs they're biting below.
The Knife, Grizzly Bear, TV on the Radio Create Charity Steel Drum Art

The fundraising event, called "7 Drums / 7 Artists", is designed to honor the Laventille area of Trinidad and Tobago, where steel drums were invented. Trinidad drum maker Elliott Mannette has donated seven steel drums, which will be transformed by an all-star cast of characters.

Phoenix Remix Grizzly Bear (Kinda)
By Ryan Dombal on May 5, 2010 at 5:45 p.m. EDT
Click here to find a "aleatory and combinatory remix" of Grizzly Bear's "Foreground" by France's Phoenix. But this "remix" isn't a traditional redo as much as it's two YouTubes side by side-- one of "Foreground" and one of a selection from Brian Eno's 1975 ambient album Discreet Music.
According to Phoenix, "Grizzly Bear asked us to remix one of their tracks, but we never found the boldness to mess with their beautiful songs." Have to say, it works pretty well. Maybe not as well as something like this, perhaps, but you can't win 'em all.

This is random. Entertainment Weekly reports that fastidious indie rockers Grizzly Bear went ahead and gave an untitled brand new song-- well, a minute's worth of a brand new song, at least-- to Washington State's lottory to use in a new commercial.

Department of Eagles Collect Archival Material on New Album
By Tom Breihan on April 12, 2010 at 11:20 a.m. EDT
Department of Eagles, the languid and spacey duo of Grizzly Bear's Daniel Rossen and former college roommate Fred Nicolaus, were working on music long before releasing the BNM'ed 2008 album In Ear Park. On a new collection, we'll hear how they built that sound.
Archive 2003-2006 collects music that the duo created after releasing their debut LP, 2003's The Cold Nose. About half the tracks are "Practice Room Sketches", recorded in practice rooms at New York University. Also included is music from the "January Sessions", recorded in January 2006.
The album is due July 20 from American Dust (in the U.S.) and Bella Union (everywhere else). We've got the cover art and tracklist below.

Drug War Crimes
Recorded: Thursday, May 6, 2004
Each year, the U.S. government spends over $30 billion on the drug war and arrests more than 1.5 million people on drug-related charges. Currently more than 318,000 people are behind bars in the U.S. for drug violationsmore than the number of people incarcer-ated for all crimes in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain combined. Have current drug laws deterred drug abuse and reduced crime? What are the real costs of this countrys war on drugs? Is there a link between the homicide rate and the amount of resources given to drug prohibition? Please join us as Boston University economist Jeffrey Miron (author of the major new book, Drug War Crimes) and former San Jose police chief, Joseph McNamara, examine these questions and explore real alternatives to Americas War on Drugs.

Discussion in 'Purchasing DVC' started by mac_tlc, Sep 21, 2012.
Wow. This shows they have no pattern that we can follow.
Log in or Sign up to hide this adverts.
We are still waiting on ROFR. I see there is really no pattern to what passes. We are waiting on a 150point SSR that we got for $69pp with all points for 2012 forward. We pay all fees and closing. Is Disney more likely to pass on SSR since it's not quite as desired, or does that not matter?
Whoa- no kidding! I guess if they need more points for wait list or direct sales, it's better to buy back a larger contract. Ultimately, who knows??? Depends on what is needed for direct sales @ any given time. Yikes!!!!
Well the ROFR monkey got us and took our contract on day 35. When speaking with our broker yesterday he explained that (unknown to him) DVD put an addendum on the contract to extend their time for review. Still can't understand why they couldn't have just taken it weeks ago.
If you are wondering it was a 150 pt BWV contract Feb use year at 65 per point.
Sorry to hear that...I wasn't aware they could put an addendum for review on a contract like that.
2012 points? 2013 points?
Sorry to hear!!
We purchased 100 points at AKL for $65 a point (Feb.) through Fidelity.
0 points for 2013. All 100 points coming in 2014.
Buyer/Seller split closing, buyer pays Fidelity maintenance fee.
Contract sent to ROFR on 4/16.
Sorry MasonDuo...stinks to have to wait all that time to just get ROFRd...good luck on your next one!
Updated page 142.
Just got word today that we passed! Then asked to be sure if it was indeed ours and got the response that technically the seller could still back out (slim chance though)! But for all intensive purposes we should be DVC owners! Some specifics I left out in original post. Buyer pays closing and seller pays 2013 mainenance fees. Submitted 4/12 and waived 5/6 but didn't hear anything til today.
Wow, great pricing! Congrats!
I am not sure if I posted this..
OKW 75 points... 64 pp seller pays closing buyer pays mf. Submitted rofr on 5/3.
June UY?
Oh sorry... August.
And my wife corrected me and said it was 67. They were asking 68, we offered 66 they countered at 67. Sorry. Disney took at 67.
The one that was taken was a over month ago. It went to ROFR 4/8 and it was fully loaded BWV 150 with immediate closing. It had banked points too from 2012 and was just too tempting for Disney to pass on.
But keep positive. You just never know what side of the bed Mickey wakes up on.
Congratulation! Great price. We are waiting on an SSR 150 pts. loaded $62 per pt. just signed, not sure if it even went to ROFR yet, fingers crossed.
We passed ROFR on 5/6 on our first add-on. We already own at VGC. I didn't want to jinx it, so waited until after the ROFR period before posting.
SSR AUG 210 pts, $50, 63 2012 pts (banked), 210 2013 pts, 210 2014 pts, buyer pays 2013 MFs, Closing and admin fee.
Our offer was accepted right in the middle of the ROFR madness last month, so at times I had little hope. I am so happy it worked out and sorry to all those that the monkey got.
Thank you to everyone that posts here for lots of great information and data!
GREAT DEAL!!! Congrats!
Updated page 142.
Sorry to hear that, One broker said, usually if they are not sure they will hold on till last minute and make a decision.
At this price only one thing comes in my mind is there is no right reason in any deal, whether disney will take it or not, you can just keep guessing. I think more of a business decision to keep the resale price high, so they can charge higher direct price.
WOW, that really stinks, sorry to hear....and now I am worried where as I had no worries for the first 19 days
It seems they can do just about anything they please, sorry this happened to you.

Rod Stewart Open To 'Faces' Reunion [VIDEO]
This past summer the surviving members of Faces did a brief tour in the UK however, Rod Stewart opted not to be involved.
This past summer the surviving members of Faces did a brief tour in the UK however, Rod Stewart opted not to be involved.
Rod Stewart has lived quite the rock 'n' roll life, fronting two revered bands, compiling a long list of solo hits and walking down the aisle more than once (usually with a model).
That said, he has more than enough material to fill an autobiography, and Stewart is in fact working on one that's due in stores next fall from Crown Archetype, a division of Random House.
Rod's daughter Kimberly gave birth to a baby girl last Sunday. Baby Delilah's 66 year old grandfather headed to The Colosseum at Caesars Palace to begin a two year residency at the venue.
Stevie Nicks and Rod Stewart are hitting the road together on The Heart & Soul Tour. The tour kicks off March 20th in Fort Lauderdale, with both stars performing all their hits.
It's been 12 years since Rod Stewart released an album of original music, which is pretty mind blowing, considering how good he is at writing tunes. This is the man who gave us "Maggie May," "Stay With Me," and "You're In My Heart."

Pastoral Resume
Maybe one of these days a little church and I will find each other. The people there would be looking for a friend, not a leader. I would like that, to become their friend and they become mine. I would be willing to rustle up some encouraging words every Sunday morning in exchange for most of the rest of my week exercising the freedom to climb deeper into the world's hard silence. I would love to officiate at weddings and bless newborns. I would be honored to say the words over those dead but held safe. I would gladly sign on for those moments if beyond that there was really nothing to do but take bets on the first snowfall or laze about in old lawn chairs or cook heaps of spaghetti served with red wine for the monthly potluck. A little church could hire me to say grace over all that. And we'd eat.

I'm so thankful for the words you rustle up right here. You are a blessing.
There's a little church in me that you pastor and bless with these words.
And I would come from far to attend such a church.
Me too.
Sounds good to me.
There's a church within us. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QktIufwCC9A
