Good, not great bag
I like the velcro enclosure on this bag. It keeps the bag secure and snug under the saddle. I do not worry about losing it over rough roads.
There is enough room for a tube, patch kit, and a slimline tool, perfect.
The downfall comes in form of the material. After 6 months of use, there is already a hole in the tope of the bag (I guess from rubbing the saddle?) I thought it might be more durable.

The stitching is coming undone now....i would like to exchange this bag. The size form is great. Maybe i had bad lcuk and recieved the runt of a litter?

Music has always been an important part of my life and I come from quite a musical family: my mother plays the piano and sings in choirs, and has played the clarinet and guitar. My brother plays the trumpet and ukulele, and used to play the piano and trombone, and my sister used to play the piano, cello and recorders.
My musical adventures started at primary school when we all learnt the recorder. I don't remember much about this, but at the time I think that I wasn't all that keen on it.
From the age of 7 to 12 I had piano lessons and learnt how to read music. I enjoyed playing tunes that I knew - things like themes from films and television programmes, but wasn't quite so keen on other things. I passed grade 1 then failed grade 2 and gave up the piano.
After giving up the piano I starting playing the clarinet. My mum had played for a while when she was at school and her clarinet had been sitting around in a drawer since then. I found it one day and decided to have go. I spent that summer trying to teach myself how to play, then my mum arranged lessons when school started again.
I had clarinet lessons until the age of 18, when I left school, and played in wind bands, big bands and and an orchestra. I also started playing the tenor saxophone in a number of groups, and for a while I had a bass clarinet, which I borrowed from the music school I went to on Saturday mornings and was great fun to play.
I passed grades 3, 4 and 6 on the clarinet and enjoyed playing it, especially in the groups. I continued playing during my gap year after finishing schoool and during my first year of university, though by then I wasn't having lessons and didn't play as regularly. During my second year at university I was in Taiwan, Japan and China and didn't take any instruments with me and got out of the habit of playing regularly. During my third and fourth years I was busy studying and unfortunately didn't have much time for music.
While I was at school I also started playing the tin whistle and got interested in Irish and Scottish music and Irish and Scottish Gaelic songs and languages. I also dabbled briefly with playing the harmonica while at university, though didn't get very far with it.
For many years after university I didn't play any instruments at all, though I did listen to a lot of music and sang to myself a fair bit. Then my musical activities started again in 2006 inspired by my visits to Ireland, where I've been going every summer since 2004 to study Irish language and songs. I started with the tin whistle, then got a low whistle, which I thought might disturb my neighbours less, and played folk tunes from Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England and elsewhere.
In September 2007 I started playing the guitar, at first a steel string acoustic, and later I got a classical guitar. I had lessons until I left Brighton in July 2008, and have continued to play ever since. At first I learnt basic chords and strumming patterns, then decided to learn classical style. I also taught myself to play the melodies of folk tunes.
After moving to Bangor in 2008 I started playing recorders - descant, treble and tenor, and in 2010 I got myself a mandolin. In 2011 a ukulele found it's way into my home, and in 2012 I acquired a bouzouki, a bodhrán, bass and sopranino recorders and a piano. A family of ocarinas can also be found in various parts of my house.
In 2013 I acquired a melodica, an electro-acoustic tenor ukuele, a cavaquinho - a Portuguese instrument about the size of a soprano ukulele with steel strings, and a xaphoon or pocket sax. I also bought a small lever harp, which was on special offer and I couldn't resist, but returned it after realising that it wasn't a very good one and wouldn't stay in tune.
In 2014 I treated myself to electro-acoustic soprano and baritone ukuleles, and decided to sell some of my other instruments - my clarinet, which I haven't played much for years, my bouzouki and xaphoon, which I rarely play, and my bodhrán, which I play, but plan to get a better one. I also bought a small lever harp, which is much better than the one I bought in 2013 - it sounds good and stays in tune.
I play the ukulele in the Bangor Ukulele Society, where we play all sorts of songs - pop, rock, blues, folk, etc. There are few videos of us on YouTube. I have a music session at my house once a week where we play mainly folk tunes from all over Europe, plus some blue grass and old time tunes, and even some classical pieces, and I play mainly whistles, recorders, guitar and mandolin. I also play all my recorders in a recorder group, and regularly play the mandolin and whistles in others folk music sessions.
I aim to play at least some of my instruments every day, and keep a few of them in my study and often pick them up to play a tune or two while working.
These are the instruments I currently own. I can get tunes out of all of them, though some, like the flute and harmonicas, I rarely play and can't play very well, yet.
The exams referred to here are run by the Associated Board of the Royal School of Music (ABRSM). Grade 1 is the easiest one, and grade 8 the hardest. There are insturmental exams for a variety of instruments for classical music and jazz, and also for singing and music theory, as well as diplomas in muscial performance, direction and teaching. To take practical exams of grade 5 and above you have to do grade 5 theory as well, which I did before taking grade 6 on the clarinet.

Help for the homeless? Derby City Council's system to vouch for new tenants extends to Derbyshire
Posted: February 06, 2014|
A CITY-WIDE scheme to help homeless people and those in need of housing is being extended across Derbyshire.
Derby City Council's bond assurance scheme helps people who cannot afford to pay a deposit when they start to rent a home in the private sector.
In place of a cash deposit, the council gives a written assurance to landlords that if any damage is caused by a tenant to the property within the first six or 12 months, the landlord can claim for this to be paid by the council.
In the last financial year, 161 bonds were provided to people in the city, with a total value of £78,949. Out of these, 22 landlords claimed against the bonds, adding up to £9,231.
Related content
Councillor Baggy Shanker, cabinet member for housing and advice, said the success of the scheme had led to a countywide version being set up. He said: "The scheme is there to help people who are in housing need, homeless and threatened with homelessness. In all of these circumstances, they must have a local connection to Derby, living and/or working in Derby or have a family member who has lived in Derby for five years.
"The countywide scheme is currently being set up and is expected to be fully operational by April 2014.
"It is expected that authorities across the county will carry out their own property inspections, with Derby City Council recording all statistics and receiving claims against the scheme."
Mr Shanker also said that there could be scope under the recent Localism Act for more homeless people to be housed in the private sector.
He said: "Homeless families have been housed within the private rented sector in the past, having given their consent to Derby City Council to discharge its homeless duty to them. But under the Localism Act, authorities can discharge this duty by offering suitable privately rented accommodation, even without the consent of the household."
One person who has been helped by the bond assurance scheme is new mother Emily Wadsworth, from Derby.
The 23-year-old said she had problems in previous flats and moved back in with her mother, who consequently had to sell her house.
She said: "It was a stressful time as I had a newborn baby but I called the council and they rang me just asking me to come and sign for my new house. It was really easy and I barely had to do anything, which was great. I was chuffed to bits about it."
To apply for the bond scheme, call 01332 293111.

Delicious and hearty soup! Love the red pepper flavor! Leftovers held up well, too. Served with bread for dipping.
sorry thought it was a bit bland

This was very good! I subbed half green bell pepper (chopped) for the jalapenos and since I didn't have veggie broth, I used chicken broth. Mildly spiced but great for this heat-sensative family! It did need some extra S&P but I'd make this again! Good recipe Silverwolf!
This soup tastes great but is a recipe that a beginner may find complicated. In the end, it is worth it---our party licked their bowls clean!
Delicious! I only had yellow bell pepper, so I used that. After the potatoes cooked in the broth, I added the tortellini right in there to cook, instead of dirting another pot (yes, I'm lazy, lol). When they were just about done, I added in the corn and 1/2 & 1/2. I thickened w/ Wondra flour instead of the flour/oil mixture. I didn't find this bland at all, we thought it was very flavorful. This was a wonderful, different soup that I will be making over and over~YUM! Thanks for sharing. :)
Fantastic! I made two small changes to the recipe: first I used yellow bell pepper (it's all I had on hand). Second, I used milk rather than half-and-half (didn't have time to run to the store for more half-and half, I didn't have enough). Other than that I kept to the recipe and absolutely loved it. It's mildly spicy but still very comforting. I enjoyed the mix of potatoes and tortellini, but I can see where others may not have liked it as much. I'll be making this again for sure, but maybe I'll mix the flour with water or some milk (as someone else noted the oil does come up to the top of the pot). Thanks for the recipe!
tonight, as i was clearing off the table and getting it ready for dinner, i turned around, and the fella was eating the soup out of the pot on the stove with the ladle. we love this recipe. we usually follow it exactly, but tonight, i didn't feel like dealing with the jalapeno or chile peppers so i just added a little jalapeno tobasco. it still tasted amazing. i'll probably skip those two ingredients from now on. either way, i have no idea why this isn't a more popular recipe. this chowder is amazing. oh, and i'd rather die than eat cilantro, so that was out, too.
Excellent! Just had this for lunch and loved it. I agree that tortellini and potatoes are an odd combination so left out the potatoes (and the red pepper flakes). It was still quite spicey but delicious. Will definitely be making this again.

California is the dominant producer of plums due to its mild winters, minimal rainfall during the growing season and low humidity, which is ideal for the Japanese varieties. In 2010 the state produced 141,300 tons of plums on 26,200 acres of land. The total value of the crop was $78.4 million (NASS 2011).
Four other states also raise plums commercially: Idaho, Michigan, Oregon and Washington. Oregon is generally the largest producer, followed by Washington, Idaho and Michigan. Together, these states harvested 12,300 tons of plums in 2010, including 7,800 tons of fresh plums. The total value of these fresh plums was $4.3 million (NASS 2011). March 2012 . . . Plums

Shovels And Rope: A Husband And Wife, A Homemade Sound
By David Dye
Originally published on Thu April 18, 2013 2:35 pm
Husband and wife Michael Trent and Cary Ann Hearst had their own careers going — his with the band The Films and hers solo. Then they started performing together, just the two of them, and found that their personal chemistry translated to their music together.
The South Carolina duo released its debut album, O' Be Joyful, last summer. Here, Trent and Hearst join us to talk about how that homemade record came to be — and, of course, perform live in the studio.

When I was in high school, I wrote poetry, as many angst-filled teens do. Dark, depressing stuff, if I remember correctly. I'm sure it was pretty bad, and, thankfully, none has survived.
Maybe it was that obsession with dying that prompted my love for the poems of Emily Dickinson (1830-1886), who wrote frequently about life and death. I memorized the first lines of the poem printed above and wondered, "who misses us when we're gone?"
Now, much older, I know everyone — no matter how inconsequential you think your life — is missed. What I wrestle with today, instead, is the "why." Why do bad things happen to good people?
This is not the subject I intended to write about this week. Too depressing. But there have been too many recent tragedies touching the lives of those who touch me. The wife of a man who has taught many years with my sister, diagnosed with cancer at Thanksgiving, gone by Christmas. A teacher in a nearby town killed in a car accident last week, and three young graduates from the same district died in another wreck the next day. A friend's husband in ICU after a massive heart attack.
And yesterday came the news that Troy, Ohio, native Chris Raines, who was only 29, died in a crash Sunday night. He was an assistant professor of meat science at Penn State, an Extension meat specialist, who had built a national reputation through his use of blogging and online social media tools to share science-based information about our food. His work and conversations so skillfully bridged that farm/nonfarm gap, and focused on education.
It's like we're that young child who keeps doggedly asking, "but why?," lamented Ohio farmer Charles Wildman in a blog post he wrote last year after the loss of a distant cousin in a traffic accident.
"By asking, 'Why?' I am saying 'Life should have meaning,'" Wildman wrote. "By this simple reflex question, I am rejecting the idea of a world that is created by random chance…
"When I ask 'Why?' I am declaring from my inmost being that life has meaning, therefore it was created with a purpose."
The ripples one's life creates keep going, beyond our wildest imagination, Wildman adds.
He's right. I believe no one touches my life by chance, so it's my job to figure out what I'm going to do with that encounter, with that ripple. What did I learn, how did I grow, and now, what do I do?
Oh, we all use the expression, "It sure puts things in perspective," when we talk about a seemingly senseless death, and we mouth platitudes about "remembering what's really important." Then, a day later, or a week later, we slide back into our self-possessed work or lives without learning or changing a darn thing. We've ignored the answer to our "why."
"If there's one thing Chris would want us all to do, it would be to 'seize the day,'" writes Jesse Bussard, who met Chris during her days at Penn State.
Doesn't matter if you knew Chris or not (I didn't), but it's a "why" worth grabbing. Carpe Diem, or seize the day. The Latin translation for "carpe" in this sense not only means "seize", but also "make use of." Make use of the day.
This morning, an early morning check of my social media Facebook network found this post from an old friend, Shelly: "Look for ways to be a blessing to others today…"
Exactly what I needed to remember. A way to continue my "why."
If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.
— Emily Dickinson
By Susan Crowell
Beautiful post! Thank you so much for putting your thoughts into words. I feel very much the same way–we all have a purpose and, even though I do not believe God caused Chris to die in the car wreck, He did create Chris. Through Chris, He touched many people's lives and we need to take the time to figure out "why" and then act on that! I appreciate the reminder and the encouragement to find our personal "why!"
Really enjoyed reading your post, especially withthe poetry. I still write poems when I am inspired to do so. Some things just need to be captured that way.
I din't know Chris either, but his death sure sparked a lot of Facebook comments, so I know he was an inspiration to many and my knot knowing him is my loss.
Like the ending poem though each of us is given a path with those we touch. We can make the day better or worse, but if we miss an opportunity to make it better, then we are making it worse.
Beautifully put.
Great column.
Through some loss in my own personal life, I have met others dealing with the same. I am amazed by the ability people have to 'rise out of the ashes' and not only live again, live more meaningful, fulfilled lives despite devastation. It always involves moving beyond your own pain and needs and helping others.
Very nice sentiments, Susan.
How nice. btw: He's a latin teacher
thank you. My heart has been heavy for what others are going through this beautiful season. A friend died this week of a heart attack at 51 yrs old another friend's husband hospice has been called as he goes through his last days with cancer. I do understand your why but i hold tight to my believe in my maker.
Perfectly told and lots to think about!

While a Super Meat Boy / Giana Sisters crossover has yet to be officially announced, the rating board has a fair amount of information attached to its rating; the listing claims that Giana Sisters vs. Super Meat Boy will be a PC title, published by Headup Games. We've provided a screenshot above, but you can see the listing for yourself by checking out the board's website and searching "Giana Sisters vs. Super Meat Boy."
Super Meat Boy and Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams are both independently-developed 2D platformers, so a team-up isn't exactly out of the question. Still, it's an ... unexpected team-up to say the least.
Update: Rather than an entirely new game, as reader "spunior" pointed out, it could also just be a bundle of both franchises under a new SKU, hence the new rating. Amazon.de lists the product as "Clash of Games: Giana Sisters vs. Super Meat Boy," with a release date of June 26 - so either way, we probably won't have to wait long before things become official.
Update 2: Yup, it's a collection. A press release from Headup Games confirms that Giana Sisters vs. Super Meat Boy is not, in fact, a new game, but a bundle of Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams and Super Meat Boy. It will be available in Germany on June 26.

The Cost of Protecting Oil in the Persian GulfMark A. DelucchiWith the United States bogged down in the war in Iraq, rancorous debate continues in the halls of Congress regarding the political and economic costs of America's involvement in the Persian Gulf. Many contend that U.S. interests center primarily, if not exclusively, on the region's huge reserves of oil, and that, as a result, U.S. military expenditures amount to a massive "hidden cost" of oil use by the United States. Some have argued that these hidden costs, estimated to range from essentially zero to upwards of a $1 per gallon, are, in effect, a subsidy that should be recovered by taxes on motor fuel. The figures vary widely because analysts disagree profoundly about whether military expenditures are related at all to oil use (specifically transportation fuels), and about the magnitude of any expenditures that putatively are related. Here I want to look at this debate from a slightly different perspective. What might happen if U.S. consumers and companies hauling freight curtailed their oil use? Would the federal government reduce its military commitment in the Persian Gulf? To evaluate this, the first step is look at the mechanism – if X happens, what happens to Y? – and the second is to examine the motives of the key decisionmaker, the U.S. federal government, which determines whether resources are available to address those risks, and (presumably) authorizes military spending accordingly.
However, predicting how (or even whether) Congress and the president would adjust military spending is scarcely a straightforward process. There is no line item in the defense budget for protecting U.S. oil supplies in the Persian Gulf, and no official Congressional formula that relates oil imports to Department of Defense (DOD) spending. Instead, the Defense budget is itemized by general functional or cost areas, such as "operations and maintenance," which cover more than one region or program. How Congress views the relationship between regional threats and defense spending is subject to wide interpretation. Some argue that all multi-regional costs and all non-combat, DOD-wide "overhead" costs are essentially fixed with respect to changes in threats in the Persian Gulf, while other analysts argue that all such costs are variable. As a result, estimates of the peacetime costs of maintaining a military presence in the region have ranged wildly, from as little as $0.5 billion to over $100 billion per year.

Letters to the editor (08/15/12)
Rio Communities is in need of incorporation
Regarding Mrs. Torres letter, published in the July 25 edition of the News-Bulletin, I commend Mrs. Torres for having survived the past incorporation attempts.
Where they identical? This one is not.
I know for a fact that Mrs. Torres attended neither of the two community meetings presented by the Rio Communities Association. If she had, she would have heard nothing about "city lights, city manners and city zoning and city taxes," which she decries.
Instead she would have heard about self-government, local volunteer elected officials and representatives, local policing and local code enforcement.
She would have heard about memorandums of understanding and memorandums of agreement possible with other municipalities. She would have heard about revenue opportunities available to incorporated towns and cities.
She would have heard that the property tax is controlled by the state and county. Your property taxes will increase! It is simply to cost of government doing business.
Costs to provide government service rise every year for those same services. Incorporation has nothing to do with the property tax rate. Incorporated towns are funded by the gross receipts tax, the gasoline tax and other revenues and grants.
Mrs. Torres mentioned derelict housing. Derelict housing is caused by the absence of code enforcement. How many residents of Rio Communities know that Valencia County Code Enforcement does not recognize the covenants of the Rio Communities and will enforce only the county code, which has some, but not all of the protection of the covenants?
Mrs. Torres also mentioned Rio Communities residents not being able to "afford a tax increase." The New Mexico Water Service Company just proposed an 8 percent increase.
Yet I have not seen a petition to prevent this or a letter to the editor. Are government services provided to citizens any less important than water service?
As for bonding with Belen, the only part of the Rio Communities that interests Belen is the gross receipts tax opportunities of some of our local businesses.
My point: Do not condemn or confuse this incorporation attempt with past attempts. Inform yourself! Attend the RCA public meeting regarding the incorporation initiative scheduled for 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 21, at the multipurpose center in the Valley Plaza Center. (The same building that houses the Del Rio Senior Citizens Program.)
Ask questions. Present ideas. Sign the petition to bring this question to vote. And after you have a firm understanding of the facts, vote!
As one of our past speakers emphasized, "Someone is going to govern the Rio Communities, it might as well be its own citizens!"

BHS thanks those with Eagle blow-up
I would like to take this opportunity to express, on behalf of the entire athletic program at Belen High School, our sincerest gratitude for the donation of the Eagle blow-up run-through, which landed at the BHS football field this past week.
News of the Eagle has already circulated among our community, school, and students and there is truly a new sense of pride in the idea that the Eagle will be flying high over a multitude of events at BHS.
It goes without saying that school spirit is alive and well in Belen, most certainly among many of its alumni, such as Robert Chavez and Ernest Armijo, who have chosen to continue to make Belen their home and source of livelihood.
This type of home-grown pride is exactly what we seek and hope for every time our kids take to the fields, courts, track or classrooms.
Furthermore, the continued support demonstrated by Paul Chavez and Ernest at Valley Fence Company, and Robert at Advanced Environmental Solutions, makes us appreciate the recognition they have shown in supporting what they must believe are programs and individuals worthy promoting strong, competitive values and sincere pride in one's school and/or community.
The Eagle will fly high and will come to represent all that is amazing about the community, schools, students, alumni and programs representing the city of Belen.

Post commander offers thanks
What a better way to celebrate our independence than with a parade, good friends, a barbecue and a fireworks display.
The village of Los Lunas provided the parade and fireworks, and I congratulate them on a job well done. Excellent!
Once again, our post led the way and thanks must go out to all those who helped: our Color Guard, who carried the flags; Air Force Col. Daniel Jaramillo, Marine Corps. Ret. Maj. Chet Pino, Navy veteran Frank Gurule, and myself Army veteran James Garley.
Thank you Ryan Rael, our drummer who kept us in step. Thanks also goes to Vietnam Veterans of America Albuquerque Chapter 318 for providing the giant U.S. flag and serving as its Color Guard.
Thanks to the 60 men, women veterans and non-veterans for carrying it 2.5 miles down the parade route. The people of Valencia County love to see the flag and show their respect as they stand and salute it as it goes by.
Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Mike Sosa and the Boy Scouts who provided water to the flag carriers. Thank you Boy Scout Troop 360 for carrying our Armed Forces Banner and helping at our Post home.
After the parade, a good time was had at our annual barbecue and open house. We served more than 200 people.
We could not have put on this event on if it were not for the fine merchants who support our veterans each year.
Thanks to Walmart Distribution Center, Benny's Restaurant of Bosque Farms, Flowers Bread Store, Leo's Jerky, Fiesta Tents by Milton Torrez, Jimmy Crawford for his donation, and the News-Bulletin, especially Clara Garcia.
Thank you Rosie Garley for cleaning and decorating inside the post as always, and Ruperto Baldonado for his photo display of Valencia County veterans.
Last, but certainly not least, thanks go out to all our volunteers who helped prepare the food: Jack Aragon, Carol Aragon, Felicia Aragon, David Valenzuela, Cheo Trujillo, Lillie McNabb, Lena Garcia, Theresa Lucero, Margaret Gutierrez, Jordan Moody and Stan Herrera. Great job!
And thanks to the people of Valencia County for your support of all veterans. Let's do it again next year!

backup recommendations for Enterprise Vault 8 using SAN
Backup recommendations for Enterprise Vault 8 using SAN
I would like recommendations on backups of Enterprise Vault 8 data on SAN. The SQL database backups should be straightforward, but not sure about the vauld data on the SAN disks. What is the best way to backup the data (not SQL)? How often?
Comments 7 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Dependent on your needs. Its like saying I need a fast car, what do i get?
Be more specific? What is your SLA? What is an acceptable update time to your indexes? How large are your indexes expected to be after 5 years, etc etc....
If its large amounts of data, then backing up is a no go, you will have to do replication, or snapshots or both :)
There is also a PDF Guide included in EV 8, which might help.
What we do is we perform an index and vault backup every night once the FSA and mailbox archiving runs complete and at the same time we do a full backup of our databases to file (.bak) that way our indexes, vaults and databases are in sync
Also during the day every 15 mins we do a log file truncate to disk so if anything happens to our databases the most we loose is ia mins of data. We do this because we also journal our mailboxes
I agree with Scanner001, the key is that all you EV component backups are consistent and in Synch - i.e. EV databases, Vault Store/s and Index. The EV server system state is also important but not critical.
Typically I'd suggest looking at it in the following order:
1. Backup your Exchange/File Server data
2. Run the archicing tasks
3. Put EV in beckup mode and backup the above component at the same time.
You can run the following nightly provided you want to archive every night.
Depending on your envirnment setup and config, you might be able to utilise snapshots and the likes but be sure the put EV in backup mode so that nothing is being added to the archive or database while you are trying to back up.
If you are running Journal archive, which is running continuously, you can take snapshots but there will be no guarantee that you will have a consistent backup. You can create a schedule that every 1-2hrs (depending on your SLA's) will allow you to put EV into backup mode, take a snapshot + replicate your components and bring it back to Read/Write mode - this should ensure that the EV queues are being emptied.
Only for the mailbox archiving, when a vault store is closed and totally collationed and when users can't delete items from their archives, can we consider that the concerned vault store closed could be excluded from the backup if we already have a good backup file of it ?
In other words, in this specific case, did vault store closed will never be modified again ?

Ratings & Reviews
My wife and myself bought our first property last year witht the help of Stacy Stream with Kappel and Kappel. This was a very stressful time in our life, but Stacy was there to help throughout the entire process. Stacy worked around our schedule to show us houses and answer every question imaginable. We are very grateful for her time and effort! If we were to purchase another property or sell our current one, I would certainly work with Stacy again. Thanks, The Milsaps Family
Stacy was very professional and helpful throughout the entire process of purchasing my first home. She shared with me a great deal of knowledge and we found my ideal home in a timely fashion. I have recommended her to friends in search of their first home as well. Communication was excellent and definitely would do business again in the future.
Stacy is an excellent and professional realtor. She answered all our concerns and questions. She was punctual for our appointments and responded to our phone calls in a timely manner. She showed us many houses and was honest in her assessment of each of them -- not just anxiously trying to sell us a house. She not only listed our home in Vacaville and sold it, but she was the agent who found our new home in Fairfield. She accompanied us when papers were signed and insured we understood what we were signing.
We would certainly use Stacy again and we highly recommend her.
John & Patricia Johnson
EXCELLENT! Always available, keeps intouch/informed about whats going on with houses on the market/ houses your interested in. Works very hard. listens to what you want and what your looking for and gets it for you!
Stacy is a highly detailed experienced Realtor. She has handled the purchase and sell of several homes for myself and my family. I highly recommend her for her professionalism; attention to all details from beginning to end of transaction; and her expertise in all areas of real estate. She makes herself available for all needs, concerns and answers throughout the total real estate timetable. I highly recommend Stacy Satream for all your real estate needs. She is my only choice for all real estate needs in the further for my family and myself.
I found Stacy to be very knowledgeable. Not just in closing on a home, she knew the area, she understood what leaders would approve of and not. She always kept my best interests up front of it all, she wasn't going to let me walk into or buy a home that may later prove to have major issues. She has a keen eye on detail, she often pointed out things I didn't see. She was very patient, always made me feel like I was the most important client. She stuck to my wish list and never took me to see homes that didn't fall under my criteria. I would highly recommend her to everyone and would defiantly use her again if the need arises. I love my home and so very grateful having Stacy help to achieve my dream.
Stacy is the BEST! She is very personable and works to meet her clients' needs, not her own. It is very rewarding working with Stacy as she does her absolute best to make sure you are satisfied. Whether you are a first time home buyer or a property guru, she will take care of you like family!
M+R Capshaw
Stacy is one of those rare gems! Ethical, friendly, caring, and hard working. We had challenges to our home purchase stemming from an out of state lender and Stacy was our champion. She pushed the lender to take care of the transaction and at the same time was a calming voice for our fears that the purchase was going to fall apart.
When had question was able to answer very quickly.Recomened to frield at she also purchased from the awsome Stacy Stream.I would and also recomened the best.Thanks Ted.

Class 3A FHSAA Finals: Martin County's Burton tries for state title in 800
Martin County senior Jake Burton and Punta Gorda-Charlotte's Ryan Schnulle have a lot in common.
Both rank among the nation's best in the 800 meters — Schnulle ranks ninth and Burton is 27th among prep runners — and are two of only four runners in Florida to run the race in less than 1 minute, 53 seconds.
Both have signed to run in college: Burton with Florida State and Schnulle with Florida.
The biggest difference is in the win-loss column. Schnulle leads 2-0, having beaten Burton at both the Holy Trinity Elite Classic and Pepsi Florida Relays.
Of course, Burton is more concerned with coming out on top in Friday's Class 3A FHSAA Finals at the University of North Florida's Hodges Stadium in Jacksonville.
The Class 4A meet is Saturday.
"I believe I can beat Ryan," Burton said. "I have been training really hard. Districts and regionals were just stages to get through and I made it through on top. I'm very excited to race Ryan again. I have a different plan and this time I hope it works.
"The first time I raced him, I had no clue what to do. The second time I had a general idea of what to do. Hopefully the third time's a charm."
Martin County assistant coach Mike Lehning said there is some concern that Burton was able to cruise to wins in both the district and regional meets, but said they haven't tinkered with Burton's training at all.
"You just train and you try to keep mentally sharp," Lehning said. "Since the Florida Relays, he really hasn't had any competition at all. But everything is the same; you don't mess with something that's working."
Sebastian River senior thrower Brittany Jackson is a two-time state champion in the discus, but is ranked fifth in Class 3A heading into the state meet. Jackson led the Sharks basketball team to the Class 7A title in February, which delayed her ability to practice and start throwing.
Although her season best of 131 feet, 9 inches was five feet short of the winning mark by Miami Northwestern's Lloydricia Cameron at the regional meet last week, Sebastian River coach Chris Jefferson believes Jackson still has a good chance.
"I thought she hit pretty much what I thought she should be at with the number of practices she had" Jefferson said. "But I'm hoping when we get to state, she can let that one big throw go. She has to have that happen."
In Class 4A, the stage primarily belongs to the area's many underclassmen, including Fort Pierce Central freshman Tiara Robinson (400), Vero Beach freshmen Kayla Woulard (400) and Jayland Valentin (300 hurdles) and St. Lucie West Centennial freshman Khaya Pannell (long jump).
"This has been a very good year for our young kids in the area," Central coach Bonita Williams said. "It's just the experience of being a state; it's once in a lifetime.
"This is very important for them. It's something they've been looking forward to all year and they really have worked hard. The future is very bright."

04/16/2012 – The women's softball team defeated Concordia University twice in Ann Arbor. The pair of victories escalated the Saints season record to 20-17 overall and to 3-3 in the WHAC. Concordia fell to 16-19 overall with an 0-6 record in league play.
The first game of the twin bill began as a pitcher's duel between Carlie Giarmo and the Cardinals, Jeni Bollenbacher. Bollenbacher held the Saints to one run through five innings. Concordia scored their only run in the fourth on an RBI single by Butcher. The flood gates opened in the sixth with the Saints scoring eleven runs in the final two innings of the game. Senior, Whitney Stratton lead the way pushing four Saints' runs across the plate. Giarmo had a stellar outing allowing only three hits and fanning eleven Cardinals in seven innings. The 12-1 win puts Giarmo's season record at 10-7.
The back half of the double header was a continuous hit parade through five innings for the Saints. Senior, Sam Klinkner, was the standout in this game. Sam reached base three times, scoring every time. Klinkner capped off her outing with a three-run home run in the fourth inning. Becca Shineldecker kept the Cardinals bats at bay, pitching her way to a 7-2 record overall. Shineldecker aided in the Saints' 11-0 victory by striking out five and allowing only two hits.
The Saints are back in action Tuesday at Fuller Park, taking on Indiana Tech (2-2) in conference play.

After Newtown: Policing and Mental Health Experts Meet to Develop Prevention Model for Mental Health-Related Gun Violence
On January 14, 2013, in the first of a series of meetings we will host on critical issues facing the police and the communities they serve, the Police Foundation convened a distinguished group of experts from the law enforcement, science, mental health, and policy arenas to focus on mental health-related gun violence.
Drawing upon a multidisciplinary body of knowledge, which establishes the extreme difficulty in predicting a violent act, the expert group distilled existing research into a framework that combines prevention and intervention strategies to give communities and the police a path to preventing mental health-related shootings rather than simply responding to the scene of yet another tragedy.
The group assembled the first iteration of a Community Crisis Early Intervention System to help avert future tragedies and to get those suffering with mental illness the help they need. By developing a systemic approach that weaves this knowledge together in a straightforward, practical manner, the group hopes to provide the police and the communities they serve with practical, no-to-low cost recommendations that can be quickly implemented.
The three things every police chief and sheriff should know about preventing mental health-related gun violence are:
- The police should create local partnerships with mental health service providers, school officials, and appropriate community groups to develop a mental health crisis response capacity;
- Police chiefs and sheriffs should use the bully pulpit afforded them to keep community focus on the need for mental health services and convene local service providers and community members to enhance knowledge about local needs, services, and the science of mental illness and gun violence; and
- Police chiefs and sheriffs should adopt policies and practices that help reduce the availability of firearms to people in mental health crisis, institutionalize mental health training for their officers, and facilitate community-wide "mental health first aid" training for all community members.
In addition to the Police Foundation, the following organizations participated in the roundtable discussion: American Psychological Association; National Institute of Mental Health; US Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance, Civil Rights Division, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, and FBI Behavioral Science Unit; International Association of Chiefs of Police; Police Executive Research Forum; Mothers Against Drunk Driving; National Council for Behavioral Health; Office of New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez; Fight Crime: Invest in Kids; US Department of Homeland Security; New Haven CT Police Department; Montgomery County MD Police Department; and researchers from George Mason University's Center for Evidence-Based Crime Policy, the University of Maryland, Johns Hopkins University, University of Virginia, and West Virginia University.
