Looking to get started with a physical yoga practice? This handy guide breaks down five of the most widely practiced poses—also known as asanas—familiarizing you with both the English and Sanskrit names, as well as giving you step-by-step instructions on how to find alignment with each posture as you journey through your personal practice.
Pose: Child's pose
Sanskrit name: Balasana
Introductory how-to: Begin in a hands-and-knees position with wrists below the shoulders and knees below the hips. As you inhale, part the knees out slightly wider toward the edges of your mat, connecting your big toes to touch. As you exhale, release the torso between the thighs, sitting the hips back toward the heels, continuing to outstretch the arms toward the top edge of your mat. If accessible, rest your forehead on the floor while keeping a neutral spine. Maintain this position, breathing comfortably for three to five complete breath cycles.
Pose: Downward facing dog
Sanskrit name: Adho mukha svanasana
Introductory how-to: Begin in a hands-and-knees position with the knees directly below the hips and the hands positioned slightly forward of the shoulders. As you inhale, spread the fingers wide, rooting both palms firmly into the mat while simultaneously tucking the toes under. As you exhale, begin to extend the legs, drawing the hips and tailbone toward the ceiling, creating an inverted V-shape with the body as the heels move toward the floor. The head and neck should be positioned between the upper arms and the feet should remain hip-width distance apart. Focus on maintaining length in the spine in this pose, releasing the shoulders away from the ears and keeping the knees as softly or deeply bent as needed, while continuing to root firmly and equally through both hands and feet. Maintain this position, breathing comfortably for three to five complete breath cycles.
Pose: Upward facing dog
Sanskrit name: Urdhva mukha svansana
Introductory how-to: Lie on your stomach with legs fully extended along the mat, with the tops of your feet on the floor. Place the palms on the floor directly below your shoulders, keeping the elbows bent. As you inhale, press your palms into the mat, extending the arms while simultaneously lifting the torso and thighs off the floor. Allow the hips to soften slightly toward the mat while at the same time lifting through the sternum; soften the shoulders away from the ears and maintain neutral alignment in the neck. If accessible, look upward only with the eyes. Maintain this position, breathing comfortably for three to five complete breath cycles.
Pose: Warrior II
Sanskrit name: Virabhadrasana II
Introductory how-to: Begin standing with feet together near the front edge of your mat. As you exhale, step the left foot back approximately 3 to 4 feet, turning the left foot out at slightly less than 90 degrees so that the left toes and torso face the left edge of the mat, with the right toes pointed forward to the front edge of the mat. The heel of the right foot should now align with the arch of the back left foot. Slowly begin to bend the right knee, aligning the right knee with the second toe of the right foot, as the thigh draws parallel with the floor. Continuing to root firmly into the mat with both feet, outstretch the arms to reach in opposition toward the front and back edges of the mat with palms facing the floor. Keep the shoulders stacked over the hips as you gently turn your head toward the front edge of your mat, gazing softly over the right fingertips. Maintain this position, breathing comfortably for three to five complete breath cycles. Return to the starting position near the top of your mat, and repeat on the opposite side.
Pose: Tree pose
Sanskrit name: Vrksasana
Introductory how-to: Stand with feet together near the front edge of your mat, with the hands lightly positioned on the hips. Slowly shift your weight into the right foot, rooting down firmly as you peel the left heel off the mat, opening the left knee toward the left edge of the mat, with toes remaining on floor. With control, draw the sole of the left foot to gently rest against the inside portion of the right lower leg, with toes pointing toward the floor as you balance fully on the right leg. Avoid pushing the right hip toward the right edge of the mat; instead, keep the center of the pelvis directly over the right foot. If accessible, join palms together in front of your chest or outstretch your arms overhead, with your wrists aligned above the shoulders. Maintain this position, softly gazing at a fixed point in the room as you breathe comfortably for three to five complete breath cycles. Release the left foot to your mat, returning to the starting position briefly before repeating on the opposite side.

I'm finally settled back into my home sweet home in the countryside.
Since Seven Seas has started releasing their stuff on Comixology, I decided to use that oppurtunity to buy a digital copy of Haganai volume 1. Haven't finished it yet, though. What I have read is pretty amusing, though. Especially how Yozora and Sena are always fighting. I can't wait for the anime boxset.
Been reading some Infinite Crisis lead-ins. So far, I've got Countdown to Infinite Crisis, the complete series of The OMAC Project and Day of Vengeance, and the complete Sacrifice arc on Comixology. I'm thinking I'll probably start on Villains United after I've finished Day of Vengeance. The OMAC Project is pretty awesome.
Started watching Kinmoza, Fantasista Doll, and Prisma Illya on CrunchyRoll. I want to finish Devil Survivor 2 and season 1 of Valvrave, though. Kinmoza is about the friendship between a Japanese girl named Shinobu and an English girl named Alice, Fantasista Doll is about a girl named Uzume who can summon warriors using cards, and Prisma Illya is basically Illya from Fate/Stay Night as a magical girl.
I found episodes of A Channel on YouTube. Just watched the first two, though.
I've built up a collection on PSN of PSone C l a s sics based on Disney stuff. Don't ask why.

size of tuberous begonia tubers
I have one tuber (6 years old) that produces enoumous stalks over 3 feet tall, with spectacular, large orange flowers. This fall the tuber was so large that I decided to measure it. It is 9 1/2 inches long, 7 inches wide (at the widest point) and nearly 4 inches thick. Must weigh over one pound. I will have to increase the pot size again this spring in order to hold the bulb. It was given to me as a little seedling 6 years ago and I don't know the exact variety. Can anyone tell me if it is common for the tubers to become so large? Or do I have a freak on my hands?
I have some very large ones I plant in the garden each year too,some are the size of a small dinner plate.
I don't know if they lose their strength/vigour after a time?. I haven't tried to take cuttins of these as I have quite a few named varieties now in the greenhouse.

This is a printed excerpt from Episode Five: "The 24th Shitkickers Were Never the Same after the Peloponnese." I thought it important enough to put on the blog.
(Beginning of recorded section.)
I'm visiting Washington, D.C. I'm told that Sophocles is in town. He's at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences on the same ground as the famous Bethesda Naval Hospital. He's behind a gate guarded by Marines. Well, not the real Sophocles, but his play, his words have wound up here close to Washington, D.C.
The question is, what does Sophocles have to do with a bunch of doctors and psychologists who have gathered here in this medical theater? Well, we have been invited to the reading of the Sophocles play titled, Ajax.
It is a workday and many of the audience have left their jobs and offices to take an hour or two to listen. A reading is where actors sit at a table and say the words from the scripts that lay in front of them. This is a cheap way to put on a show, no costumes, no staging. In the audience are doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists from the university and probably from Bethesda Naval Hospital. There are many different types of uniforms; Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, and in the audience are wounded veterans, men and women without arms, legs and service members who have experienced battle firsthand. They have scars; they're just scars that cannot be seen.
This theater is wood paneled and has approximately 300 seats and has hosted more lectures on medicine and more words on symptom, treatment, and result than the words that are about to be spoken here today. They will talk of ancient heroes, the will of the gods and the state of men.
What is happening is unique.
In front of me is a table with four or five seats and the actors are warming up for the performance to come. They seemed familiar, they should be. From left to right; Amari Cheathom, Broadway and off Broadway actor starred in a play called, Book of Grace, many other stage roles and recently graduated from the prestigious Julliard School of Acting; Chad Coleman, star of many films and television series, recently shot the Green Hornet which will be out in December; Karen Young from the series, The Sopranos, play the female FBI agent, she was recently in a Sam Shepherd play called, A Lie of the Mind; and finally, we have Reed Birney, New York City actor, recently in a play called, Blasted, a very respected TV and stage actor.
Chad Coleman you may recognize from the HBO hit TV show, The Wire. Upon entering the theater, I caught him testing his voice. He kept on shouting out, "Athena, daughter of Zeus," looking up at the rafters sending his voice out like a ballista sending out a rock against a fortressed wall. He has a powerful voice and a powerful presence. In the reading today, he plays two parts; Ajax and King Agamemnon.
In readings, actors usually double up on the roles. Karen Young plays Athena and Ajax's wife, Tecmessa.
I caught Mr. Coleman after the show.
ROB CAIN: That the words that are spoken are older than me, older than this country, older than many nations that exist today, how does it feel like to speak the words that have come over thousands of years and they seemed like something that could have been written yesterday.
COLEMAN: It's a testament to the human experience. The human experience defies time, you know, there are buildings, there is geography, there is you know the clothes we wear, and all of that, that's more identifiable with time than human behavior. Human behavior transcends time, obviously, the same things they experience then we are absolutely experiencing now, which is what makes Sophocles so brilliant. Can you get to the epicenter, to the core of human behavior because if you can it's going to be relatable forever.
(End of COLEMAN Interview)
ROB CAIN: And then there is the director. Mr. Doerries is a New York based writer, translator, director and educator. He is the founder of a theatrical organization called Theater of War. A project that presents readings of ancient Greek plays to service members. In addition to his work in the theater, Bryan serves as an advisor for the nonprofit Alliance for Young Artist and Writers. He lectures on his work at colleges and universities. Over the last couple of years, Mr. Doerries has directed film and stage actors and readings of his translations.
INTERVIEWEE: My name is Bryan Doerries. I'm the founder of Theater of War and I started the project in 2008.
ROB CAIN: Did I hear you correctly that you say that you translated it?
DOERRIES: Yes. I translated the play, Ajax that was performed today, and another, Philoctetes. My background is in classics, Greek and Latin and I came to theater through classics because I love ancient plays and I came to directing through my desire to make those plays come alive and I came to the military because I wanted to find an audience for those ancient plays.
ROB CAIN: What made you decide to translate it yourself as oppose to relying on somebody else?
DOERRIES: There are thousands of translations of every Greek play that exist in every possible language in the Western world. Unfortunately,
most of them sound like they were written in the 19th century. I'm interested in creating a translation that speaks to the moment, to now and engages people with idioms that they can relate to. That's not in any slight to the original text. We are always re-inventing the Greeks, the Italians did it in the Renaissance, our founding fathers did it as they built neoclassical architecture throughout this country and our democracy did it, our aesthetics have done it in this country. We have appropriated many things but always with our American perspective. This is a new American translation of this ancient Greek play.
ROB CAIN: When I was listening to Ajax's wife. She turned to her husband and she said a word that seemed very military to me. She said affirmative. Now, I'm having a hard time understanding the choice of that word. I can't believe it was in Greek language but was that chosen or was that actually a word?
DOERRIES: Actually, it wasn't Ajax's wife, it was Athena who is the head of all…she's the goddess of war. She is the highest ranking officers of all officers in all armies. And so for her to say affirmative as a word choice is actually quite natural. She is the highest ranking person in the entire Greek army. And to Odysseus, she says affirmative and many other words in the scene to continue to reinforce for Odysseus who is a high ranking officer in the Greek army that she's in charge. I'll also say this, you know, let's not get hung up on what ancient Greek words would sound like in English because there's no way to do that. A translation is a text along side another text. There is no chemical process by which you distill an ancient word into a modern word. There is no original into English, that doesn't exist. Unfortunately, I think many people are not aware of the role of the translator in making texts vital. These are performed text. The only way for them to work is for them to sound natural and spoken and clear coming out of actor's mouth in front of audiences. They're not to be read, they are to be heard and so that's the aim that I have in mind as a translator writing affirmative.
ROB CAIN: I read a book, The Last Days of Pompeii, which sounded very much 19th century. I see what you're trying to get.
DORRIES: Yeah. I mean the Greek lexicon, the dictionary from which most classicist work was codified the 19th, so all the translations of what Greek word sound like and what the idiom sound like sound Victorian, well that's because that's when the dictionary was written. The Greeks sounded no more Victorian than the characters in the Hebrew bible, but that's a choice and we can choose to make them sound like us because in their own time they sounded like them.
ROB CAIN: In taking this performance around to different places, what has it given you?
DORRIES: Oh man, it has been a dream come true. To do something that is meaningful in the theater for an audience that responds the way you heard the audience this morning responds emotionally, presently, as if the place were written for them. There is no greater gift as an artist than to be given an opportunity to do that and I think that's why so many great actors have joined me on this journey. I have about 50 actors have joined me to perform these plays over the last year and a half and many of them are well-known actors who are giving their time to do it, it's a rare opportunity to be able to do something with your craft that is helpful to others and you could see a meaningful difference being made through it and also what it gives to me. Well, you know, every week I go up against several hundred military service members in dialogue and conversation. I try to facilitate conversations everywhere from the Department of Defense to Army bases to the School of Infantry at Camp Pendleton, and I've done more than 60 of them and I've gotten really comfortable figuring out what things need to be said or not said in order to get an audience talking and about difficult subject matter and I feel like it's been kind of a Jedi knight training. I mean something that you can't acquire unless you do it 65 times or a hundred times unless you step out and take the risk of people not talking and you try to figure out how to get them to talk. And so for me, I've just grown so much as a human being, as a facilitator over this last two years doing this work.
ROB CAIN: Just one more question, in looking at this ancient text, do you think people really change?
DOERRIES: I think there are elements of the human experience that have not changed for thousands of years and probably will not change and I think what Theater of War points to is the universality of the human experience of war across cultures, across time. If we had one message, it's not a negative message that we're repeating history, it's a positive message which is, "You are not alone in this room, you are not alone across the country, and you are not alone across time." I had a veteran come up to me after one of our performances and say, "Bryan that PTSD is from BC makes me feel less alone in the world." It's precisely that we can relate to ancient stories and see our own experiences reflected in ancient narrative and know that others who have come before us have struggled with the same things we're feeling that allows us to know that we are not the only ones who have had these experiences and that's really the aim of Theater of War.
ROB CAIN: Thank you very much.
DOERRIES: Yeah. Absolutely. Thanks for coming.

The fur is flying over a new ad campaign by an animal rights group the White House says is using first lady Michelle Obama's image without her permission.
The president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, Ingrid Newkirk, said her organization wouldn't have sought Mrs. Obama's consent for the anti-fur ad because it knows that she can't make such an endorsement.
PETA included the first lady in its Washington ad campaign based on White House confirmation that she does not wear fur.
Mrs. Obama appears in the ad with celebrities Oprah Winfrey, Carrie Underwood and Tyra Banks — three others who have shunned fur. The ads are appearing in Washington's Metro stations, magazines and PETA's Web site.

'Anonymous': What the Critics Are Saying
Director Roland Emmerich returns to theaters with his latest feature, Anonymous, which explores the theory that playwright William Shakespeare didn't actually write his well-known plays. Starring Rhys Ifans, Vanessa Redgrave, Joely Richardson and David Thewlis, the John Orloff-penned film from Sony opens wide in U.S. theaters on Friday.
The two-hour feature had critics giving mixed reviews, with a few commenting on Emmerich's storytelling and pacing of the British movie. On Thursday evening, Anonymous held a 43 percent rating.
PHOTOS: 'In Time' Premiere Red Carpet Arrivals
The Hollywood Reporter's Kirk Honeycutt said that Anonymous portrays Shakespeare "as an illiterate buffon, barely smart enough to fool Elizabeth's London into thinking he actually wrote all those plays and sonnets." But Honeycutt noted that the movie "is easily director Roland Emmerich's best film. Instead of blowing up the world or engaging in other sorts of mass destruction, he actually steers a coherent path through a complex bit of Tudor history while establishing a highly credible atmosphere of paranoia and intrigue."
The Los Angeles Times' Betsy Sharkey held a similar sentiment, writing that the Emmerich film "is an ambitiously biting (gnawing?) literary whodunit turning on the Shakespeare question. As in, who really wrote all those seminal plays and sonnets ... That might sound like costume drama taken to deadly boring academic extremes. But surprisingly, in director Roland Emmerich's usually effects-heavy hands, we have something closer to a fanciful commedia dell'arte."
PHOTOS: 'The Adventures of Tintin' U.K. Premiere Blue Carpet Arrivals
Rolling Stone's Peter Travers said, "Emmerich piles on more conspiracy theories than Oliver Stone" before concluding, "Anonymous is some crazy shit."
The Wall Street Journal's Joe Morgenstern had issues with Anonymous, saying, "A bigger problem with Anonymous is its opacity. The nonsensical notion of Edward's authorship is hardly more than a subplot. ... Most of the movie is devoted to the Essex Rebellion against the queen, and the action hops back and forth in time so befuddlingly, with the same set of characters played by different actors, that I defy anyone who isn't a scholar of the period to understand what's going on."
Morgenstern concludes, "In a movie that rings false at every turn, Ms. Redgrave's Elizabeth is truly and infallibly regal."
Like his colleague, The Boston Globe's Welsey Morris wasn't sold on the film. "Anonymous is about 15 movies, at least 11 of which we've seen before, several of which I haven't even mentioned. The moviemaking is proficient, if unremarkable," he writes. "I like the idea of an Elizabethan action movie apparently more than I enjoy watching one."

School district releases preliminary budget, considers exceeding tax levy limit
If New York state lawmakers do not pass a state budget by their April 1 deadline, the Cazenovia board of education may be forced to seek a tax levy limit increase in its 2015-16 budget to ensure it can continue to fund all existing district programs. Such a move is a gamble, however, because to exceed the limit requires a 60 percent voter majority or else the budget goes back to the community for a re-vote. This was the message conveyed to the Cazenovia Board of Education at its March 16 budget work session by Assistant Superintendent Bill Furlong during his presentation on the preliminary budget.

Schedule sterilizations early to keep patients healthy
Picture this scenario: A client brings in a kitten for its first round of vaccinations. The client shows interest in spaying the kitten, so you give him instructions to call back in a couple of months. What's wrong with this picture?
The answer: You're unnecessarily extending the timeline of the juvenile wellness visits. Schedule a sterilization appointment at the conclusion of the juvenile vaccination series instead. You'll reduce the threat of health risks and avoid behavioral issues associated with female pets during estrus—it's a win-win for the client and the practice.
Clients are often unaware of the critical importance of timeliness in having their pets sterilized. It's well known that sterilizing a female dog before her first estrus virtually eliminates the risk of mammary cancer. More recent research has revealed that cats spayed before their first heat cycle have a 91 percent lower risk of developing mammary gland cancer.
Yet a 2009 study commissioned by PetSmart Charities revealed that the most common reason cat owners gave for maintaining an intact female was the mistaken belief that a female cat should have an estrus cycle before sterilization. An uneducated client may delay having the pet sterilized until after her first estrus, substantially increasing the risk of the pet developing mammary gland cancer later in life and increasing the likelihood of behavior problems as well.
Nationwide, intact animals are released to shelters at a rate two to three times greater than sterilized pets. Most clients are familiar with pet overpopulation—and many would help prevent it if they could. To greatly increase the likelihood that your clients will have female cats and dogs sterilized before their first heat cycle, incorporate sterilization into a juvenile pet wellness protocol. If the last immunization in the series is scheduled to occur at 16 to 20 weeks of age, schedule sterilization shortly thereafter. Not only will this keep patients healthy, it will help your practice develop a long-term relationship with clients.

I REALLY want to buy this house!!!!
Hey All,
I've posted about this house in the Buy/Sell and Remodeling Forums, but I need your opinion now.
I put in an offer on a foreclosure 1935 bungalow and had the inspection last week. It was not pretty :( New roof, lots of damage from the old roof not being replaced, plumbing and electrical is all messed up (it is up to date electrical tho), leaky dishwasher, sink and shower, damage to attic rafters (sagging and splitting), not enough insulation, garage door is broken, but the big problem is the foundation.
Also there is an old well in the basement. I cancelled my offer at this point but the bank had an estimate done for the foundation and well--$15-20K to fix the foundation and ~1K to take care of the well.
The bank said i could submit a lower offer but the inspector basically said this house is a "money pit" :(
Its on a lake and has a great yard and the neighborhood is ok---I still want it but am scared about all the work that needs to be done.......
any advice??
It's past the point of repairable - spending 20K to fix the foundation under a rotting structure makes no sense, because it's still falling apart.
Unfixed leaks cause damage that can't be fixed if they go too long, because there's not enough sound structure to tie the repairs into.
The only fix for that much damage is a demolition permit and a bulldozer.
I agree that the house is a disaster. You have went through every thing that is important in a dwelling and it is ALL bad. If you want to live there, tear it down and build something new. Make the offer for the land. It will cost you to tear it down too so there is more money to account for in your offer. If the neighborhood is only "ok" why put yourself through all of this? Find something else.
Listen to your gut, walk away now!
It's really sad when you love the location, but unless you have unlimited funds, you will be sorry you bought. This IS a money pit! Like others have said, it's a tear down. Great location.
So, why not buy it, tear it down, and buy a really nice new manufactured home to stick on the lot. You will be much happier for sure.
I know, nobody wants a mfg home, but they are cheap, well built, electrically up to code, and new!
yes, i know you all are right, it's just that finding something i can afford on water is next to impossible. My gut is telling me the house is bad---damaged.......i guess i could make an offer for the land----any idea on the ballpark cost of a small (this house is only 880 sq. ft/2 bedrooms, 1 bath and i am good with that) manufactured home?
What about tear down costs? Any rough idea?
I really appreciate everyone taking the time to comment and reinforce what my gut was telling me---thank you!
Old pier and beam homes are sold all the time, companies that specialize in transport and setup can move the house onto your property. It is somewhat expensive (but often cheaper than getting a home built) and you have to research local ordinance and so on, but it might be the right answer for you.
I'm not sure which state you are in, but it's easy to find out the costs of mfg or modular homes. They come in many styles and sizes.
I simply googled "Cost of manufactured homes" and many sites came up. I linked to a small one below.
If you add your state into google search, you should be able to see many options.
Here is a link that might be useful: Costs in Wisconsin
Sorry, I do not recall the exact amount, but discovered tearing down & removing a house was not as expensive as I thought. Also, your local fire dept may be willing to cover the cost of teardown - if you let them use it for training first. Have a chat with the fire chief if you decide to go that route.
At least make an offer on what you think the land is worth.
thank you for all your valuable input! I have heard the fire dept. might be interested in burning things down as a training exercise-----not sure about hauling away all the crap.......i have pretty limited funds so am not sure about even being able to afford a manufactured home (lots of hidden costs i've heard----preparing a foundation, cost to transport, etc etc)
i wouldnt want a trailer and am not even sure i'd be able to put one there....
Location, Location, Location.
Is this the worst house in the whole area?
Is the area desirable to live?
Is the lake nice enough for swimming, boating, fishing, or year-around use?
Nearby amenities?
Good school system?
Good fire and police protection?
Good job base locally?
If yes to all these, and if you are young enough to wait until you have money to rebuild, and can stand living in a dump in the meantime, and can get it for $27k, go for it and start honing your building knowledge and skills. You will need them even if you pay someone else to do the work.
the location is great and the neighborhood is fine but i pulled the plug---i don't want to live in a dump and am not that young lol , i might put in a bid if it doesnt sell by its auction date , otherwise i'm going to keep looking---i just don't have enough money to either fix this place up or tear it down and start over :(
if it doesn't
UGH!!!! I'm *still* thinking about this house------here's why:
Bank just dropped minimum bid to ~$55K, so i put $20K into the foundation, ~$7K into a new roof, $1K to remove the well, $2K into plumbing, $1K into electrical, $1K into new hot water heater, $5K to fix the water damage, attic beams, (all approximate costs except the foundation and well---got estimates for those and $20K was on the high end of the estimate)
I would have a pretty nice house for less than $100K in a pretty nice (working class) neighborhood on water(!).......what am i missing here???
Other improvements like adding a second bath to the laundry room, possibly converting garage to a family room/3rd bedroom, etc can wait........
Talk to me lol
Are you young, with the time to invest in the project, and the money/financial situation (e.g., stable, well-paying job) to take the risk?
While there are many of the same type of programs - Have you watched an episode of HGTV Flip or Flop and seen all the surprises that happen to this couple who obviously has the finacial resources and expert help available?
Am not trying to discourage you, Nicole/Rehab Addict is my hero, just hoping you make an informed decison.
Here is a link that might be useful: flip or flop
"i don't want to live in a dump and am not that young lol , "
"-i just don't have enough money to either fix this place up or tear it down and start over :("
Inspections usually only cover what can be 'seen'. EXPECT more than can be seen, especially if water damage exists...It will prolly cost you more money and time than you estimate. It always does.
I don't think there is a right or wrong, I agree with mdln, that what is important is an informed decision.
I'm a senior, bought a fixer-upper a few years ago. Like Mags438 said, expect the unexpected, there were unforeseen expenses other than what the inspector found, and I'm still working on it.
But I like the house, it is perfect for me. If I could go back in time, I'd buy it again.
You have to weigh what is important to you. If the house can be made habitable with a small investment, could you have another small home moved onto a property?
Tax assessment or no, 55 for a lakefront situation if the house could be made habitable may be a good deal for someone.
This house may or may not not be the right home for you, the decision you make will be the right one for you if it is an informed decision.
Great advise Luciille. I am just torn because of the unknown----water damage is the main thing right now---what's going on inside the walls? Mold?
I am going to ask my Realtor what the status is on the house and go from there because you're right---$55K for waterfront is a steal
"What's going on inside the walls?"
It never hurts to ask for something you want, the worst thing that can happen is a denial. Citing your concern about mold, ask your realtor to request permission from the seller to open the walls in a couple areas, describing exactly how large the opening will be (would an opening from a large drill bit be enough? I don't know). Get with your inspector or ask a mold expert exactly what needs to be done, a swab and test kit? See what it would cost to find out if there is mold.
Again, the worst that can happen is that you are told no.
It is perfectly OK to just walk away from all this if it seems more than you want to take on right now. But it is also OK to ask for a little more info.
Just don't do what a former co-worker did! He bought a run-down "house" (camp?) on a lake, then immediately tore it down to build his dream house. He didn't realize that he wasn't allowed to tear down a house that the bank held a mortgage on! He had to scramble to pay off that mortgage *immediately*, leaving him no money to build, so he now owns a nice piece of empty property on the lake. :p
this is a foreclosure and the bank has a minimum opening bid/offer of $55,500 (lowered from $68,700 after all the problems my inspection turned up).
If the house doesn't sell by the end of Sept. there will be an online auction (again with a minimum opening bid of $55,500).
I think I will wait and see what happens at the auction and go from there (if I don't find something else in the meantime ;)
It is my experience that banks usually place unrealistically HIGH asking prices on these types of properties. About half end up going to some poor sap who overpaid for it (based on condition moreso than market). The other half do end up going for a fair price, but only when it has been on the makret a long, long, long time.
While it's understandable that a bank, like anyone or any entity, would try to maximize what they can get for the property, they are often short-sighted when they have situations like this.
I wouldn't pay $55k for that house even if the walls were filled with gold ingots.
How many walls have you replaced, rewired, resheetrocked, floated, painted?
How are you at nailing things above your head?
Do you bounce gently when you fall off of a ladder?
I think my husband and I could handle that house; we've rebuilt one house, and done two others totaling over 5000sq ft from the studs out, (and replaced studs where needbe.)
It costs more and takes longer to rebuild than to tear down and start from scratch.
Reasons to rebuild: some communities give fairly major tax advantages to older home. Doing less than 10% a year might let you avoid someof the permits that some places require you buy before you do anything at all.
If your best friend, who for the sake of this conversation we'll create as barely able to nail a 3" nail straight and unable to repair a toilet, were looking at this house, what would you tell him or her? Repeat that while standing in front of a mirror.

DarthMod-maker creating entirely new Civil War RTS
The DarthMod series spent almost a decade tooling and toying with each release of a Total War game. All in all, Nick Thomadis' mods have been downloaded over a million times. Total War fans and owners previously unaware of these mods can learn more about them here.
The man behind DarthMod found there were things he "could not deliver to players as a modder," and so he's making an entirely new strategy game of his own design, Ultimate General: Gettysburg. It's about the American Civil War, if you didn't glean that, which is a cool choice. It's is a relatively unused era as far as games are concerned.
A full run down of plans for the game can be found here. It plans to: eschew rock/paper/scissor design; focus on good, realistic AI without bogging itself down in realism; and a player-inspired development cycle that will take fan feedback into account. Ultimate General is planned for PC, but, also -- and surprisingly -- tablets, where the aim is for same, full-fledged RTS to play out. Aiming high. You probably had to with muskets to get good range.
One of the most interesting things to me is the "Dynamic Campaign," detailed a bit lower on the site. Losing too many troops in an earlier battle can affect you nrgatively in the long run, including causing a "a speculative scenario battle which you will be unable to win." Neat. Consequences ramp up the stakes.

Novices in surgery are the target group of a virtual reality training laboratory.
ABSTRACT This study aims to establish which physicians represent the suitable target group of a virtual training laboratory.
Novices (48 physicians with fewer than 10 laparoscopic operations) and intermediate trainees (19 physicians who performed 30-50 laparoscopic operations) participated in this study. Each participant performed the basic module 'clip application' at the beginning and after a 1-hour short training course on the LapSim. The course consisted of the tasks coordination, lift and grasp, clip application, cutting with diathermy and fine dissection at increasing difficulty levels. The time taken to complete the tasks, number of errors, and economy of motion parameters (path length and angular path) were analyzed.
Following training with the simulator, novices completed the task significantly faster (p = 0.001), demonstrated a greater economy of motion [path length (p = 0.04) and angular path (p = 0.01)]. In contrast, the intermediate trainees showed a reduction of their errors, but without reaching statistical significance. They showed no improvement in economy of motion and completed the task significantly slower (p = 0.03).
Novices, in comparison to intermediate trainees, tend to benefit most during their first exposure to a laparoscopy simulator.

ABSTRACT: Teaching novice surgeons to attend to subtle and often misleading haptic cues in minimally invasive surgery can be challenging. Haptic cues may even be distracting during initial skill acquisition stage. A controlled experiment with thirty surgical residents and attendings was conducted to test the hypothesis that haptic feedback is more useful to the expert than novice surgeon because of the difference in spare cognitive capacity resulting from experience. In general, surgeons cannot perform a cognitively demanding task and laparoscopic surgery at the same time. Haptic feedback not only enhances performance, but counters the effect of cognitive loading, especially in accuracy of task performance. Performance is faster with more experience. With more spare cognitive capacity available, experienced surgeons can better take advantage of haptic feedback to aid their performance.Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting Proceedings 10/2007; 51(11).

Article: Limitations of haptic feedback devices on construct validity of the LapSim((R)) virtual reality simulator[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Surgeons performing laparoscopy need a high degree of psychomotor skills, which can be trained and assessed on virtual reality (VR) simulators. VR simulators simulate the surgical environment and assess psychomotor skills according to predefined parameters. This study aimed to validate a proficiency-based training setup that consisted of two tasks with predefined threshold values and handles with haptic feedback on the LapSim(®) VR simulator. The two tasks have been found to have construct validity in previous studies using handles without haptic feedback. METHODS: The participants were divided into three groups: novices (0-50 laparoscopic procedures), intermediates (51-300 laparoscopic procedures), and experts (more than 300 procedures). It was assumed that psychomotor skills increase with experience. All participants conducted the tasks lifting and grasping and fine dissection 20 times each. Validity of the training setup was investigated by comparing the number of times each participant passed a predefined threshold level for a set of 19 parameters. RESULTS: Construct validity was established for one parameter; "misses on right side" on the lifting and grasping task, whereas the other 18 parameters did not show construct validity. CONCLUSION: The setup employed in this study failed to establish construct validity for more than one parameter. This indicates that the simulation of haptic feedback influences the training performance on laparoscopic simulators and is an important part of validating a training setup. A haptic device should generate haptic sensations in a realistic manner, without introducing frictional forces that are not inherent to laparoscopy.Surgical Endoscopy 12/2012; 27(4).

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: To improve patient safety, training of psychomotor laparoscopic skills is often done on virtual reality (VR) simulators outside the operating room. Haptic sensations have been found to influence psychomotor performance in laparoscopy. The emulation of haptic feedback is thus an important aspect of VR simulation. Some VR simulators try to simulate these sensations with handles equipped with haptic feedback. We conducted a survey on how laparoscopic surgeons perceive handles with and without haptic feedback. METHODS: Surgeons with different levels of experience in laparoscopy were asked to test two handles: Xitact IHP with haptic feedback and Xitact ITP without haptic feedback (Mentice AB, Gothenburg, Sweden), connected to the LapSim (Surgical Science AB, Sweden) VR simulator. They performed two tasks on the simulator before answering 12 questions regarding the two handles. The surgeons were not informed about the differences in the handles. RESULTS: A total of 85 % of the 20 surgeons who participated in the survey claimed that it is important that handles with haptic feedback feel realistic. Ninety percent of the surgeons preferred the handles without haptic feedback. The friction in the handles with haptic feedback was perceived to be as in reality (5 %) or too high (95 %). Regarding the handles without haptic feedback, the friction was perceived as in reality (45 %), too low (50 %), or too high (5 %). A total of 85 % of the surgeons thought that the handle with haptic feedback attempts to simulate the resistance offered by tissue to deformation. Ten percent thought that the handle succeeds in doing so. CONCLUSIONS: The surveyed surgeons believe that haptic feedback is an important feature on VR simulators; however, they preferred the handles without haptic feedback because they perceived the handles with haptic feedback to add additional friction, making them unrealistic and not mechanically transparent.Surgical Endoscopy 01/2013; 27(7).

In a scene unusual for a courtroom, the Calcutta High Court, hearing a dispute between the State Election Commission and the State government, provided calculators to both counsel to help them come up with details of the number of security forces that could be provided for each phase of the rural polls in the State.
"There are problems and problems and problems …" the Division Bench of Chief Justice Arun Mishra and Justice Joymalya Bagchi observed here on Tuesday, as the judges worked out the figures.
When both the State government and the State Election Commission failed to arrive at a consensus regarding the number of security personnel required for the polls, the matter went to court in the second week of May.
The Bench passed two separate orders pertaining to the holding of polls in 17 districts of the State.
Asking the litigants whether they thought that this [making calculations] was the job of the Division Bench, Justice Joymalya Bagchi said, "This is certainly not the court's job."
"We are not saying that this is the best way to hold elections. Taking the matter to court is the worst situation," the Bench said, adding that it was trying to choose "the best among the worst" options available to it.
After brief spells of silence the court checked whether the figures arrived at by it matched those of the election panel and the State government.
The court said that it would be "happy" had it not indulged in such an exercise.
It also remarked in the course of the hearing that both the State government and the State Election Commission were at "loggerheads."

Historical Traveler Reviews La Fonda on the Plaza Santa Fe
My family was very happy here!
We got back from our stay at La Fonda about a month ago and wanted to report here that we couldn't have been happier. The location is perfect right on the plaza courtyard. The room (suite) we had was large and tasteful, looked newly redecorated. Every question or request we had was answered politely and promptly. The lobby is unique and very New Mexican. With 2 kids, we wanted a swim break during the day, and even the pool was first rate... Highly recommended!
Quaint hotel, great location
We've been to Santa Fe several times, but this was the first time we stayed at La Fonda hotel. The hotel has a somewhat dingy atmosphere, and after taking an exploratory walk through the various corridors, we were glad we chose to stay in the nicer, and more expensive, Terraza rooms. The room was spacious and comfortable and decorated pleasantly enough; however for the price they charged ($289, because of a special -usually it's $380), the bed and especially the bed linen should have been of much better quality. The bathroom was OK, even if the shower pressure was more like a light sprinkler. No problem with the bath tub, though. The Terraza rooms offer complimentary continental breakfast, which was a joke. On our last morning (we stayed 3 nights) we ordered room service breakfast and were glad we did.
The food in the hotel restaurants is surprisingly good, especially in the Plazuela. One annoying feature of the hotel is that everything shuts down early. Even the bar closes at 11 PM (!). We were there in the beginning of July - tourist season - and closing that early is a bit silly. The service is generally good, but not outstanding.
But by far the best feature of the hotel is its location - the plaza is practically next door, and everything in town is in walking distance. For that reason alone it is worth considering La Fonda.
Best to stay in Santa Fe
IF you want to stay in a hotel with historic value, then La Fonda is the place. I was there as a small child and remember it well. Now years later after just seeing the hotel on short visits last Christmas was spent at the La Fonda in the La Terraza Suites. La Panzuela was fantastic for both Christmas Eve and Christmas dinner. YUM. I can't think of better place to be, so this Christmas I am taking my entire family of 22 to the La Fonda. Might mention that anyone that thinks it is not the best...then they have no idea of the true flavor of Santa Fe. Once you take a step back in time at the La Fonda it will always be quite memorble.
Great location; tacky and shabby room
We chose La Fonda for a recent quick trip to Santa Fe because they heavily promote their "renovated" rooms and their high-speed Internet access.
Frankly, I am not sure when the room we were assigned was renovated, but it overlooked (barely, because it was on the first floor) a noisy street filled with the sound and smell of cars. So much for airing out the room! The bedlinens were obviously long-used, the pillows were sad, and the decor was something straight out of a comic book about the southwest. Subtle? Not here.
The fixtures in the bathroom were clean, but the tile floor was grubby and the door did not work well. The general level of cleanliness throughout the room was one that encouraged me to keep my shoes on.
Parking was over-crowded. No valet service. The sneering concierge seemed to be pre-occupied with his friends, so we did not bother him by asking for help with dinner reservations. The Internet service turns out to be more of a marketing ploy than something the front desk is actually experienced in helping people use. There's also a $10 charge, undisclosed until one is actually in the process of connecting.
There was one stand-out in our stay. Room service shuts down, completely, at 10 PM. The woman answering phones at the front desk at about 10:30 was still able to rustle up a couple of drinks for us and delivered them, smiling, to our room within just a few minutes.
The weekend rate of $159 did not seem excessive to my husband; I guess I'm just fussier. We have stayed at so many cleaner, more attractive, and friendlier places in Santa Fe, and those are the places to which we will return. La Fonda will not, at any price, make the list.
Two-thumbs up
I love this hotel. I have family in NM and stay here whenever I can - they have great off-season rates. Location is great, right in the center of the Plaza. Restaurants are terrific - we love the French cafe for lunch. The atrium has wonderful New Mexican food - table-side quacamole is the best I've ever had. Rooms are charming, quiet, classy.
You can also get some spa-type services, like a massage, for a fair price. I find it hard to believe that other reviewers didn't enjoy this hotel. It is pricey, if you pay rack rates, but if you do your homework you'll feel lucky to be staying at such a great, historic hotel far from the freeway and the terrible traffic that you'll endure if you try to get to the Plaza from one of the big-chain hotels on Cerrillos Rd.
Good choice, excellent stay
I stayed overnight at La Fonda recently on my first trip to Santa Fe.
It was on the expensive side, but, as the old saw goes, you are paying for three things: Location, location, location! The hotel is in the heart of downtown on the plaza and many of Santa Fe's attractions are just a short walk away. The room was quite comfortable with all the amenities one might expect, although the bathroom was on the small side. We thought the decor was wonderful--little hand-painted pieces of artwork on literally everything from the light switch plates and dresser drawers on up. The pool and spa were very refreshing, and massages are available at extra cost. We were very pleased with the staff; the concierge in particular was a great source of information for us first-time visitors. To sum up, we were very pleased with La Fonda and would stay there again.
Wonderful charm and Excellent service!
What a wonderful hotel. We chose La Fonda due in part from a friends recommendation, and also the location and available services. This is an 80 year old hotel and is in perfect health. The decor is throw back to bygone era, and you have to appriciate that in todays hotel standards. It pretends to be only what it can be; a charming historic hotel in Santa Fe. The pool area is secluded, but easy to find. The bathrobes in the rooms were a great amenity too. The service was the best I've received at any hotel or restaurant. After speaking with our room cleaner, it was clear the employees feel conected to the place. I found out that most employees have been there more than 10 years.
Very Pricy
While the ambiance and atmosphere is everything atourist wants in a beautiful majestic southwest hotelthe dining experience was an enormous disappoint-ment. The four of us had dinner in a beautiful atrium room that had fairly good service. However, there food menu did not measure up to a memorable meal. Two of us ordered lamb. (Bad choice) They infact DID NOT serve lamb as described on the menu. What they did serve was 'mutton' lamb. When the dinner plates arrived to be served they looked exacly like to medium size pork chops with the bone in. What a hugh disappointment to everyone.The other two meals where steak and they were very average. It's obvious their management doesn't know that their Chef is pulling the wool over their eyes (cutting cost)!!! Total dinner bill w/o tip...$160.00 w/1 desert.
Great hotel, Fantastic location!
What a grand and gracious hotel harking to an era past but in step with today. My mother-in-law and two sisters-in-law stayed here with us.
They were given a FANASTIC suite on the fifth floor with a fireplace and wrap around balcony overlooking the square and the Governor's Palace. My wife and I had a regular room on the third floor. We LOVE old Hotels and this one is one of our favorites. If you do not like old looking baths (but clean and in wonderful repair) or older hotel designs, they ask for a room in the new section. It is modern New Mexico at it's best. My brother's sister-in-law stayed in one of the new suites with her family and gave us glowing reports of their stay.
It is where we will stay on future visits to Santa Fe! P.S. there is parking under the new wing.... which is scarce in town.
What a dump
After looking at the Web site photos, this seemed an ideal place -- all the beauty and charm of Santa Fe. La Fonda is -- but only on the outside. The inside (once you're past the public places) is a dump. I could not believe what they were charging for an old hotel (without the old hotel charm). This place is living off a reputation built years ago. Please do not go here. I checked out and went to the El Dorado -- same price and 100 times the quality.

Travel Blogs from Santa Fe
Day 17-Leaving Lake Powell and heading East
We got an early start and hit the road about 8:30 am. Grabbed a quick breakfast and headed south to Flagstaff then east to New Mexico. Made it to Albuquerque and decided to head to Santa Fe. Glad we did that, since Santa Fe is such a neat little town. We walked the plaza and found a great spot for dinner. It was then time to find a place to back it …

... and headed for the dry haven of the bathroom.
Sleeping on top of the bench while in soaking wet pajamas is as difficult as it sounds, so at 5am we decided it was late enough to have a shower. We ran back to the tent to grab our things, couldn't believe that no one else seemed to be stirring, and headed back to the bathrooms (while the rain continued on).
