Boe Ramirez and his partner, German Roa, never expected to be talking about marriage.
In many Hispanic communities, even friends and family members who knew you were gay wouldn�t discuss the matter, he said. They might acknowledge you had a �friend,� but never a partner or a husband.
Now, things are starting to change, said Ramirez, who lives in Rockville with Roa. There�s a growing acceptance of gay families in Latino communities, even among Catholics, he said.
More than 60 percent of Latinos in the U.S. are Catholic, according to the Pew Hispanic Center, and the Catholic Church strongly opposes same-sex marriage.
But while Hispanic leaders on both sides of the debate say Maryland�s population is warming to same-sex marriage, opinions are split on what impact, if any, the growing Latino support will have when the issue goes before voters in November.
Some claim Latinos largely will vote against the new law; some say they�ll vote in favor of it. Some say the issue really isn�t being discussed, while others say voter turnout will be so low it won�t make much difference.
Ramirez, who was raised a born-again Christian, said he is estranged from his family because of his sexual orientation. But Roa�s Catholic family, as well as other Catholic families they know, has grown to accept their relationship. Ramirez said he has found Catholic Latinos — who generally have a strong focus on the importance of family — to be the most accepting of the gay community.
But that might not matter at the ballot box.
�These are families and communities that don�t vote,� Ramirez said. �Their support exists in a vacuum.�
Individuals of Hispanic or Latino origin make up 8.4 percent of Maryland�s population, according to U.S. census data. In the 2008 presidential election, about 34 percent of the total statewide Hispanic population voted, according to the census.
A report released earlier this year by the Pew Hispanic Center found 59 percent of U.S. Latinos believed homosexuality should be accepted by society.
Bishop Angel Nunez, senior pastor of Bilingual Christian Church in Baltimore and president of the Baltimore Hispanic Pastors Association, disagrees with Ramirez�s assessment of Hispanic support for same-sex marriage.
Not only do evangelical and Catholic Latinos support maintaining a traditional definition of marriage, but many are registered voters, he said.
�The great majority of our [Latino] community will vote against it,� Nunez said, while acknowledging many young people, influenced by the media, will support the issue.
Derek McCoy, executive director of the Maryland Marriage Alliance, which opposes same-sex marriage and led the petition drive to put the new law on the ballot, said he thinks Latino voters, as a whole, were strongly against the measure.
McCoy, who also is a minister, acknowledged that population amounted to a small percentage of the electorate, but said his organization would be reaching out to the state�s Spanish-speaking population and providing bilingual campaign information.
The Maryland Catholic Conference, which advocates for the Catholic dioceses of Washington, Baltimore and Wilmington, strongly opposes same-sex marriage and partnered with the alliance on the petition drive.
Still, supporters of same-sex marriage say they�ve won the backing of many Catholics. Groups such as Catholics for Equality have pledged their support for the law, and the opinion of those in the pews might differ from those of church leaders, said Josh Levin, campaign manager for Marylanders for Marriage Equality.
The immigrant-advocacy group CASA of Maryland, which supports both the Maryland Dream Act — it provides in-state college tuition to some undocumented immigrants — and the same-sex marriage law, recently partnered with the nonprofit Equality Maryland to advocate for both measures.
But the Dream Act also is backed by the Maryland Catholic Conference, and Nunez and McCoy think CASA�s marriage endorsement will generate discord among Hispanic voters.
Regardless of whether they support or oppose the marriage issue, many Latinos simply might not be paying much attention, said the Rev. Simon Bautista, canon for Latino ministries of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington.
�It is not a hot topic in the overall Latino community,� Bautista said. �The priority of the Latino and Hispanic community is in other [areas],� such as upholding the Dream Act.
�It�s not part of the daily conversation,� Bautista said, adding the attitudes on same-sex marriage in the U.S. were far more progressive than in many Latin American countries, where debate on the issue hasn�t really begun. �That will affect the way many Latinos in this country will approach the issue.�
But Hispanic support could hinge on whether voters understand the religious exemptions in the new law, said state Sen. Victor R. Ramirez (D-Dist. 47) of Cheverly.
The law does not require clergy to perform same-sex marriages and includes protections for religious organizations that don�t want to offer goods or services to same-sex couples.
�Once that�s explained, I think people are willing to accept it,� Sen. Ramirez said, adding he thinks Latino voters are more or less evenly divided on the issue.
Del. Ana Sol Gutierrez (D-Dist. 18) of Chevy Chase sees an age gap in Latino support for the measure, with the younger generation that has grown up while homosexuality was being discussed openly seeing no reason to oppose the law, while the older generation is more resistant.
�I wish I could say there would be wholehearted support among the Latino community,� she said.

Good to Know:
In 2013, Texas Parks and Wildlife reported over 200 boating accidents, out of which 22 people died.
LAKE BRYAN - Several accidents and near misses have been reported at area lakes in the past week.
Summertime can be fun...and dangerous.
"Just do everything in moderation. Have fun and enjoy it, but just don't get carried away."
We headed to Lake Bryan to Cody May with the Bryan Fire Department some tips on water safety.
"No matter what age you are or how good of a swimmer you are, you need a life jacket," May said.
Not always the easiest words to hear...but they could save your life.
Especially when it comes to boating...
"Just make sure you have all your safety equipment as well. Life jackets, whistles, in case something happens while you're on the boat."
But even before lowering the boat into the water...
"You need to be wary of the weather. If it starts lightning and the wind picks up really bad, that can make for a bad disaster. A lot of choppy water can cause people to capsize, turn over."
And to make sure everyone is safe...game wardens are always out.
"They're out here regulating, making sure people are following safety laws, they've got a life vest on, their tags, they're not drinking," said Shannon Blake, who was out enjoying the lake.
And in case anything happens...
"We do have our boats prepared and things prepared and on ready and stand by if we do have to do that," May said.
The bottom line for your summertime fun...
"Have fun, be safe, and enjoy your holiday weekend."

While ordering a cake the other day we were faced with a dilemma. The cake specialist asked if we wanted a four leaf clover or a shamrock on our St. Patrick's Day themed cake. Not understanding, we asked what the difference was. The specialist responded that the shamrock is the Irish symbol and the four leaf clover is the American version. She mentioned that in her experience some Irish people have gotten offended if the four leaf clover is used improperly. So for those of you who aren't familiar with the differences between the two (besides the obvious additional leaf), here is an explanation.
The shamrock is a three-leaved clover; the plant was used by Saint Patrick to illustrate the doctrine of the Trinity. It has subsequently become a national symbol of Ireland. The word comes from seamróg, the Irish name for the plant.
A four leaf clover refers to an aberration of a three leaf clover plant, "white clover." The white clover is a deep green flowering vine with white blossoms. It is the original shamrock plant of Ireland and the unofficial state symbol. The shamrock already has powerful associations, and its occasional production of an extra leaf makes the rare four leaf clover especially lucky.

Vince had a feature on the Tennis Channel
It was tha bomb!! Really funny and good stuff. He took the Tennis Channel all around LA and did some rapping. It really showed a very fun side of Vince... Did anyone else see it??
Re: Vince had a feature on the Tennis Channel
OMG, he did some rapping? :clap2:
some weeks ago me and few others joked about the fact that he makes rap music because we just would have never imagined that before.
I wondered what it sounds like. And what would I have given to hear that and see that feature... :sad:
BTW, I always enjoy reading his journal entries. The texts are always great and somehow funny. Not many players do that and from time to time he has always funny things to tell :)
The entry while he was in Munich was also funny :rolls: :yeah:
BTW, what has happened to his webpage? When I click on the link above to www.spadeatennis.com I get a message that the site is not available, "site suspended for non-payment".
Did Vince forget to pay his webspace fees, or what? :lol:
Re: Vince had a feature on the Tennis Channel
I was LMAO when I read that too.

Alternate title: The Gronholm Method
Job interviews are unpleasant, but the one depicted in "The Method" is grueling. In this Spanish comedy, based on a play by Jordi Galcerán, candidates for an executive job gather at their potential employer's headquarters for the better part of a day and participate in exercises intended to test their ingenuity and expose the group's weakest members. The setup promises a corporate cousin of "12 Angry Men," but as this film by the writer and director Marcelo Piñeyro and his co-writer, Mateo Gil, unreels, it seems more like "Glengarry Glen Ross" with splashes of Samuel Beckett and "Survivor." — Matt Zoller Seitz

Real Housewives of New Jersey
Joe Gorga Is in the Hospital! What Happened to The Real Housewives of New Jersey Star?
Joe Gorga had a rough start to 2013. Not even two weeks into the new year The Real Housewives of New Jersey star was sent to the hospital after coming down with a nasty case of the flu. Poor baby!
On Jan. 10 Joe tweeted about his illness, writing, "I'm dying over here in the hospital this flu kicked my ass. Not a word or movement from Tarzan in 4 days #Pain."
As All About the Real Housewives pointed out, even Joe's sister, Teresa Giudice, was concerned about his condition, tweeting on Jan. 10, "My poor brother with this horrible flu. Everyone, please, get your flu shot!"
Thankfully, Joe was realeased from the hospital a few days later and was resting comfortably at home. "Thank you to all the staff at Chilton Hospital! You were amazing with my @joegorga," his wife Melissa Gorga tweeted on Jan. 13.
Yikes! We're sorry Joe had to go to the hospital, but are relieved that his ilness didn't last that long!

Debbie Matthews: Birthday Bundt for Bud
Can you call a 45-year-old man who's over 6 feet tall and has 85 pounds on you a "little brother"?
Bud is all of those things and he's also my little brother until the end of time.
My birthday is 12 days before his, and for years he would give me a $20 bill in a card, and less than two weeks later, I would turn around and give it right back (in a new card).
Each year this seemed sillier and sillier to me.
So one year, I got out my Monopoly game, and took out a $100 bill. I wrote on the back, "Happy Birthday Bud, Love Debbie", and his birth date and the year. My mom didn't like it at first (she is the queen of elaborate gift-giving; she just adores present giving occasions). On my birthday, Bud writes a greeting on the back of the hundred, and gives it back to me.
It is our favorite sibling tradition. After almost 10 years, we're now signing the third, rumpled, slightly tattered bill, stapled together with the first two.
This way we spend our time picking out very funny and appropriate cards for each other. And, I have to admit, since my birthday is before his, I love that I only have to hold onto the faux cash for 12 days. My little bro has to keep up with it for the rest of the year. (Which is really good because I have lots of trouble with that kind of thing. One year I accidentally threw it away, and rescued it right before the trash truck showed up.)
I used to bake weekly desserts for Petey to take to work. After a while, I ran out of ideas. I then began a study of all the different things that a cake mix could make. I have a small collection of cake mix cookbooks.
One of the cakes I made was an orange Bundt cake. The recipe called for a glaze from orange, as well.
Both Petey and The Kid adore those orange dreamsicle things. So instead of the citrus glaze, I tried finishing it with the vanilla-fudge frosting that top these amazing sugar cookies from Chef Chrissie's mom.
It was a big hit for them. Not being a dreamsicle fan, it was just one more cake for me.
I took it to my mom's one time, and Bud had a slice. He was a goner. It's become his favorite cake.
Tomorrow we're going up to my folks' house to celebrate my little brother's 45th. And I'm taking him his birthday dreamsicle Bundt cake.
Dreamsicle Cake
1 package yellow cake mix
1 cup fresh orange juice + zest of two oranges
1 stick butter, melted and cooled
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 12 cup Bundt pan.
Put all ingredients in mixing bowl and blend just until mixed. Scrape down bowl with a spatula and mix for two minutes.
Pour into prepared pan and bake for 45-47 minutes, until the cake just starts coming away from the side of the pan, and a toothpick inserted comes out slightly moist, but with no cake batter clinging to it.
Remove from oven and let rest in the pan on a cooling rack for 15 minutes.
Turn the cake out of pan onto the cooling rack and let cool completely before covering in icing.
Vanilla Fudge Icing
½ cup butter
1 cup granulated sugar
¼ cup whole milk
1 ¾-2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla or 1 vanilla bean scraped
Put butter, granulated sugar and milk in a saucepan, and cook until it comes to a rolling boil.
Let cool, and if using vanilla bean, add to cooled mixture now.
Whisking continuously, slowly add powdered sugar to cooled liquid until it is about the consistency of thick cake batter. If using vanilla extract, whisk it in at the end.
Place cake on platter or cardboard cake round and cover with icing using a ladle or large spoon. It will cover most of the cake, but let it drip down artfully, leaving a bit of bare cake showing.
To make the cake extra birthday special for Bud, I'm filling the hole in the middle of the cake with Bud's favorite candy from childhood—sugared jelly orange slices. To make it pretty, you could put a small nosegay of pansies in there.
I love to see my bro's face when he digs into the first slice of this cake.
And when he gets to acting all little brothery, and starts tap dancing on my last nerve, I can remind him of the cake I made him.
Then I ask him if he wants one for next year.
Thanks for your time.
Debbie Matthews lives, writes and cooks in Durham. Her email address is email@example.com.

Sadus comes in at #2. The 1st time I heard Certain Death I was in awe. I knew instantly that Sadus would become one of my favorite bands. I remember when I finally got to see them live I was so pissed they were the opener over Obituary for Sepultura. Sadus had 2 albums and Obituary only had 1 so I didn't get it. Plus I wasn't a fan of Obituary's vocals back then so having to sit through them after Sadus was borderline painful for me. Sadus put on a great show and did 8 or 9 songs. Certain Death was the encore and it was the highlight of the night for me.
I recently put my Sepultura shirt from that show on ebay:
but I'll never get rid of my Sadus shirt from that night. I had to walk 4 blocks to my car in the heart of DC with those shirts in hand. I remember mean muggin' every bum and vagrant who even looked at me while walking. I wasn't sure if I would have fought or ran but no one was getting those shirts. hahaha

California Use Tax Information
Sample Use Tax Scenarios
I purchased merchandise from a catalog company based in Illinois. The seller charged me California tax. Why was I charged tax? Should I report these purchases?
If the catalog company charged you California tax, it is because the company has a presence in California requiring it to collect tax, or has voluntarily registered to collect tax on behalf of its customers. Assuming the catalog company charged you the correct tax rate, you do not need to report these purchases because you already paid the appropriate tax directly to the catalog company who will then remit the tax to the Board of Equalization (BOE).
I purchased a backpacking tent over the Internet from a company in Wyoming. The seller shipped the tent to my home and did not charge me any tax. Should I report these purchases?
Yes. This is an example in which you would owe use tax.
I purchased a digital camera by mail order from a company in New York. They did not charge me California tax. I purchased the camera as a gift for a friend. Should I report this purchase?
Yes. The purchase is subject to use tax regardless of whether you use the camera or give it as a gift to a friend.
I purchased lumber from a Pennsylvania mill. The seller ships the lumber to my business and does not charge me any tax. I use the lumber only in making furniture to sell. Should I report these purchases?
No. Since you will resell the lumber as part of the furniture, your lumber purchase is not subject to use tax.
I ordered a large novelty basket filled with assorted specialty luncheon meats, cheeses, and crackers from a company based in Wisconsin. Will California use tax apply to this purchase?
No. Assuming the value of the novelty basket itself is merely incidental to the total value of the product (less than 10 percent of the retail value of the complete package), you would not report the purchase of this item. Luncheon meats, cheeses, and crackers are food products and are exempt from sales and use tax.
Last week, while visiting relatives in Maine, I purchased $200 in stereo equipment for use with my system at home in Sacramento, California. When I purchased the equipment, I was charged five percent Maine sales tax. Do I owe California use tax on this purchase?
Yes, however, Revenue and Taxation Code section 6406 allows you to take a credit for sales or use tax paid to another state. Therefore, a portion of the California use tax you owe on the purchase is offset by the sales tax you paid to the retailer in Maine. Since the sales and use tax rate in Sacramento at the time of purchase is 8.00%, use tax of $16.00 would be due on your purchase. However, after deducting the $10 in Maine sales tax you paid when you purchased the equipment, you would only owe $6.00 in California use tax on the purchase.
Note: For each purchase, you can only take a credit for sales tax paid to another state up to the amount of California use tax you owe on that purchase. If you paid an amount in excess of the California use tax due on a purchase, you cannot use this additional tax paid to offset the tax due on another transaction. Using the example above, if the tax rate in Maine were 10% and you paid $20 in Maine sales tax, and only owed $16.00 in California tax, you could not apply the $4.00 in additional tax you paid to offset California use tax you may owe on another purchase or be entitled to a refund of $4.00.
I ordered a stove and refrigerator from a company based in New Hampshire. I had them ship the items directly to my cabin in Idaho. I plan to install these items in the cabin when I visit there later this year. Do I owe California use tax on this purchase?
No. The California use tax only applies to property used, consumed, given away or stored in this state. Since the stove and refrigerator were never stored or used within California, you are not required to report or pay California use tax on this purchase.
My company assigned me to work in Portland, Oregon, for nine months. When I first arrived in Portland, I purchased a personal computer and software from a local retailer. Oregon does not have a sales or use tax and I was not charged tax. Do I owe California use tax on the personal computer and software when I return to California?
No. You would not owe use tax on this purchase since the personal computer was used in Oregon for nine months. Tangible personal property (excluding vehicles, vessels, and aircraft) is not considered to have been purchased for use in this state when:
- A person uses the item outside of California for more than 90 days after the purchase, exclusive of any shipping or storage time; or
- A person first uses the item outside of California, brings it back into California within 90 days of purchase, and then uses the item outside of California for more than half the time during the next six months.

We tell you the best deals
They give you the most cash
These days many of us pay out large sums money to make sure we look our best. Haircare is big business and it's now both women and men who are spending hundreds on the latest hair straighteners to get the perfect hairstyle. Unfortunately for consumers, as with most electronics, there's always bound to be a new improved model six months down the line.
Whenever you buy a new pair of straighteners it leaves an old pair simply gathering dust around your home. Recycling your old hair straighteners for cash is a great way to declutter and recovers some of the cost of buyinga new pair. As with many electronics hair straighteners contain components which can be damaging to the environment if not properly disposed of and can be recycled to help cut down the amount of new raw materials needed to produce more goods.
A brand new pair of GHDs doesn't come cheap but recycling your old GHD hair straighteners for cash may just help reduce the cost. So whether you just want to sell an old pair of hair straighteners or really do care about the environment and want to make sure they're disposed of correctly then recycle your old hair straighteners for cash.

Recipe by HONEYBEEMELISSA
"This is a delicious brittle candy that you can whip up in just a couple of minutes. You can be creative with this and use toffee, pistachios, or other nuts."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped
1 cup
unsalted dry roasted peanuts
So easy and a very yummy recipe. My two-year-old could help me with this recipe versus the other method (heating over the stove all the different ingredients). I actually prefer the salted roasted peanuts- I like the sweet and salty flavor.
RECIPE 3 stars, RESULTS 5 stars. I am giving this recipe 3 stars because I think that it is MUCH better with salted peanuts, and I think that it should be noted that it's very important to work quickly! Like a previous reviewer mentioned, the caramels set very quickly after melting! The juxtaposition of sweet caramel and salted peanuts is the key to good peanut brittle. You can whip this recipe up in a snap, and it's delicous! In a nutshell: 1. Use SALTED, ROASTED PEANUTS 2. Work fast! I hope everyone enjoys this as much as we did!

This was an okay peanut brittle. It's certainly easy enough, and I made it exactly as written.
I agree with the previous reviewer that salted peanuts would probably be better, or maybe just add some salt to this recipe. This doesn't make much - I coated the entire cookie sheet with cooking spray, and this recipe covered only maybe 1/4th of the sheet. Also, you have to work quickly after the caramels are melted - they harden quickly.
something went wrong and it was too thick and didn't really harden...just stayed sticky.
EDIT:I stuck it outside for a bit (cold here) and it hardened and cracked :-) its still a bit sticky vs crunchy when you eat it though.
Knowing that the caramel can be sticky I used nonstick spray on the bowl and lightly sprayed parchment paper on the baking sheet and additionally sprayed the spatula. To speed up the cooling process I placed the brittle in the refrigerator and in a short time the brittle broke into pieces easily. The caramel flavors are there but this brittle can be tough on the teeth.
Tastes good as written :)
Great Recipe to make with Kids. I have a childcare and tried these to see how they would work for Christmas gifts. I had my kids unwrap the caramels and put them in a bowl. After heating , I added the nuts since it was hot. After cooling, the kids bagged it for gifts. I am sure the unsalted peanuts was a typo. Salted peanuts are always in Peanut Brittle. Thank you HoneyBeeMelissa. Not only did I save this recipe, I printed it for my cookbook!

Storing up trouble: is export the cause of 'orphaned' waste?
by Mike Brown
To call the increase in the amount of UK waste being exported to mainland Europe as refuse derived fuel (RDF) over the past few years 'dramatic' would be an understatement. Growth from around 270,000 tonnes in 2011 to over 1,500,000 tonnes in 2013 has now been surpassed with current tonnages of 800,000 in the first quarter of 2014. With landfill around £100/t, exporting residual waste to take advantage of low gate fees at underused European incinerators is an enticing prospect. Recently, this prospect has become relevant not only to waste companies managing C&I waste but also to those handling municipal waste. And with European facilities usually considerably more efficient than those in the UK – harnessing heat in addition to generating electricity – there can even be a strong environmental case for export.

WESTBROOK — It took Blackwell a little while to work out the kinks Friday when it faced Lueders-Avoca in a Six-Man, Division II bi-district playoff.
But then that wasn't too surprising, since it was only the Hornets' second game since Oct. 11.
Once the machine start-ed running smoothly, how-ever, it became unstoppa-ble as Blackwell overcame a slow start for a 70-26 win.
Down 14-6 early in the second quarter, Blackwell (10-1) outscored the Raiders 64-12 the rest of the way — decisively getting its first playoff win since the 1996 season, when the Hornets were 10-2 and advanced to the state quarterfinals.
"I hope it doesn't take us that long to win another one," said head coach Clint Lowry when told how long it had been since a playoff victory at Blackwell. "I don't know if it was nerves or what, but after (the slow start) I thought we played extremely well."
Blackwell — ranked No. 11 in Six-Man, Division II — now advances to play No. 3 Grandfalls-Royalty (10-1) in the area playoffs. Details were still being determined at press time on Saturday. Lueders-Avoca finishes its season with a 7-4 record.
After scoring on its first possession for a 6-0 lead, things went sour for the Hornets. Blackwell was poised for a two-score lead after a first-and-goal at the Raiders' 9, but Lueders-Avoca held and a 64-yard run by Timothy Campbell tied it at 6. Campbell then put his team up 14-6 when he scored on a 50-yard run and kicked the extra point early in the second period.
After that, Blackwell took control. First came a seven-play scoring drive capped by Franck Cano's 6-yard run. Cano's 3-yard run on fourth-and-1 kept the chains moving prior to his TD, and Wade Allen's kick tied it at 14. Matthew Lowry's interception then led to the go-ahead score for Blackwell, which came on his 6-yard pass to Allen with 3:48 left in the first half.
Lueders-Avoca cut the lead to two, 22-20, when Campbell scored his third touchdown on a 5-yard run, but the extra point failed.
Blackwell made it 30-20 on Cano's second TD run a short time later, this time on a 5-yard run. The defense held, giving Lowry time for a 34-yard TD pass to Allen with 23 seconds left. Allen's kick made it 38-20 at halftime. "That gave us all the momentum in the world," Allen said. "It was the biggest play of the game."
"That was a big momen-tum shifter," Matthew Lowry said of the TD, which completed a 32-point quarter for Blackwell. "We were super eager (to play) since we'd had three bye weeks, and we got it going in the second quarter."
The lead kept growing after that. TD runs of 13 yards by Cano and 14 yards by Jayden Jones (226 yards rushing) made it 54-20 in the third quarter. The Hornets ended the damage with two more touchdowns in the final quarter while limiting Lueders-Avoca to a single second-half score.
"I thought our defense played as well as they have all year," Clint Lowry said. "On offense we have been clicking, but tonight the defense also stepped up."
Blackwell finished with 467 yards of offense.

Do you know the correct way to prepare your OCWEN loan modification application? Be careful because the information that you provide on the paperwork will be used to determine if you pass the guidelines for approval or get denied. Here are 5 simple, but important steps you can take to be sure you prepare it correctly.
Step 1: Take your time working on your monthly budget figures, the bank will want to see a detailed breakdown of your monthly income, monthly expenses and assets. This is critical information that the bank uses in their approval formula-do NOT disclose your financial info until you know it is perfect
Step 2: Verify that your gross monthly household income is not too high or too low-remember that your loan must be able to be modified to an affordable payment using standard methods of modification. OCWEN will review your income to determine a new target payment, and they calculate how much of an interest rate reduction is required to reach the new lower payment. They may also lengthen the loan term or consider reducing the principal balance to arrive at the modified payment. If your income is not acceptable, they won't be able to achieve the required payment. Double check that your monthly income will work by running it through the loan modification calculator-a program designed for homeowners use.
Step 3: Now work on your monthly expenses and your asset-these must also pass the OCWEN loan mod guidelines. The goal is to prove to the bank that the current mortgage payment is not affordable, but that after the loan workout you will be able to pay and maintain the mortgage. You may need to adjust your expenses to show the right amount of cash flow each month-verify how to adjust the figures with the loan modification calculator-it will instantly display your debt ratio, cash flow and new target payment.
Step 4: Now that you know the right amount of income, expenses, and assets required, use those figures on your final application form. You must be able to prove whatever income you write down, so be prepared with check stubs, bank statements, canceled checks, etc. You will also need to sign a 4506T form, and possibly a Dodd Frank Certification form. Write a brief explanation of your financial hardship situation, explaining a loss or reduction in your income, increased expenses or lack of
financial reserves.
Step5: Make a complete copy package for your records before you send it all in to OCWEN-be sure to sign everywhere required, and write your loan number on each page. Be sure to follow up one week later to verify that OCWEN received your loan modification package and ask them if they have everything they need from you. Call once a week and keep a telephone contact log where you write down everything you do on the file.
Most homeowners simply don't understand what the bank needs to see from them in order to get a loan mod approval-once you know exactly how to prepare your application then you will have a much better chance at getting the help you need and deserve. Don't just guess and don't expect the bank to help you out-it's up to you to get it done right.
Get the real answers you need-use the system designed specifically for homeowners. The Complete Loan Modification Guide kit and Loan Mod Calculator will instantly and
automatically compute and display your own specific budget requirements. Avoid mistakes, save time and get it right the first time. Visit MyLoanModificationCenter.com today.

Improving the visitor experience in its widest sense was a key element in the redevelopment of Manchester Art Gallery and new services, including baby change facilities in male toilets, have been introduced.
The exhibitions, collection displays and acquisitions programme strive to redress the past concentration on work by male artists, both in acquisitions and exhibition policies. In 2005/6 we organised Black Victorians, a highly-successful major exhibition that featured forgotten 19thc black women performers, celebrities and reformers, including Miss La La and Mary Seacole.
Other highlights have been the display in partnership with Tate Britain of a textile hanging by controversial artist Tracey Emin paired with Epstein's Rock Drill, which through very innovative digital interactive interpretation, got visitors thinking about how we define masculinity and femininity. We also launched Button World, a long term display that opened up the traditionally female world of buttons, and continues to provide lots of hands-on fun for small children and their parents.

On Friday, July 26, Metropolitan Philip delivered his message to the 51st Antiochian Archdiocese Convention in Houston, TX. Following is the written text of his address:
Your Eminences, Your Graces, Reverend Clergy, Esteemed Members of the Board of Trustees, Generous Members of the Order of St. Ignatius of Antioch, Energetic Members of the Antiochian Women of North America, Members of the Fellowship of St. John the Divine, Beloved members of SOYO, and members of our Parish Councils throughout North America and all faithful of our God protected Archdiocese.
Before I address the theme of our convention, first, I would like to convey to you some very good news about our Archdiocese. We have completed the purchase of property and buildings in York County, Pennsylvania for the establishment of the Convent of St. Thekla Monastic Community at a price of $885,845. The property is located in Glenville, Pennsylvania and consists of 51 acres of land which includes a four bedroom "move in ready" house, a two story barn, and a three car garage with an attached workshop. The property also has a pond, and includes 30 acres of farmland and 7 acres of woodland. Our original plan was to build this convent at the Antiochian Village. However, it became clear that the cost of building at the Antiochian Village would have been $4,091,907. This is a total saving of $3,206,062. The purchase was funded by money saved in the Archdiocese from an endowment fund by the late Archimandrite John Matthieson, money which has been raised by the Antiochian Women, and generous donations from individual members of the Archdiocese Board of Trustees.

Child health experts recommend other pediatricians pay attention to how often teenagers consume energy drinks.
An article published by the American Academy of Pediatrics explores impact of the highly-caffeinated drinks on adolescents. The researchers say caffeine in large amounts may increase the risk for anxiety, insomnia, dehydration, digestive and cardiovascular problems in teens.
They suggest other pediatricians routinely ask teens about their energy drink consumption and discuss the possible risks with them.

The SRO SC1 guitar pickups were designed with Alnico V Bar magnets specifically wound for neck, middle, and bridge positions. The result is an enhancement to the classic Strat replacement pickup with a bright top, warm mids, and just the right amount of low end.The SC1s are a perfect upgrade to any guitar.

Situated in Balakha Village, 30 minutes from Paro International Airport, the 24-suite Amankora Paro contrasts rustic elements with contemporary design. Its architecture features natural rammed-earth walls, gently sloping roofs and wood-panelled interiors. Centred by a large flagstone courtyard, a lime-washed stone pavilion houses the living and dining room facilities, library and outdoor terrace, all warmed by fireplaces.
Appointed with comfortable sofas and lounge chairs, the Living Room features floor-to-ceiling glass windows. These reveal a forest of blue pines, the 17th-century Drukyel Dzong and Mount Jhomolhari which soars to over 7,300 metres. The warm and cosy ambience makes this an ideal spot for sipping drinks and swapping tales. The adjacent Library provides a range of books on Buddhism and local lore, textiles and the Himalayas. Complimentary Internet access is also available through an in-house laptop. A selection of traditional Bhutanese handicrafts, textiles and clothing is available in the small Boutique.
Located below the Living Room, the Dining Room opens onto an external terrace which overlooks a small stream. Views extend to snow-clad Jhomolhari and the ruins of the ancient dzong. Classic simplicity of form meets a warm ambience with communal tables and dark wood walls reflecting historic Bhutanese motifs. Amankora Paro's Dining Room serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, specialising in Indian, Western and Bhutanese dishes.
Behind the main cluster of buildings is the luxury Spa Bhutan which is set on two levels. The upper level contains an arrival area, changing rooms, a sauna, steam room and glass-walled yoga studio. Steps descend to the lower level which houses one double treatment room and four single treatment rooms, each fitted with a shower and unique outdoor bath.
Situated in a blue pine forest in the upper reaches of the Motithang area of the Thimphu Valley, the 16-suite Amankora Thimphu is close to the capital's sights and shopping, while remaining a quiet retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the Kingdom's main commercial centre. The resort's dzong-inspired architecture incorporates whitewashed stone buildings accessed through an enclosed arrival courtyard. Stairs lead from this entryway to a combined Living and Dining Room with soaring ceilings and wood-panelled walls. An outdoor dining deck provides views of the nearby stream and surrounding forest. The Spa features three treatment rooms (two single and one double), a steam room and changing areas.
Situated a short drive north of the impressive 17th-century Punakha Dzong and Puntsho Pelri Palace, Amankora Punakha is accessed by crossing a suspension bridge over the Mo Chhu (Mother River).
A short walk or drive takes guests to the large compound designed around a traditional Bhutanese farmhouse. This was built by a former Je Khenpo (Chief Abbot of Bhutan) as a residence to oversee the surrounding rice paddies and fruit orchards. The quaint, three-storey structure with its preserved vegetable-dye wall paintings is now the combined common guest area. The Dining Room is situated on the ground floor, and the upper floors offer intimate relaxation areas and a traditional altar room for prayer and meditation. The Courtyard of the farmhouse is suitable for outdoor dining and relaxation during Punakha's temperate months. Adjacent to the Courtyard is a Tea Pavilion that was once the kitchen of the summer palace. Beyond this is the two-storey Spa which provides a yoga/meditation room on its upper level with open views of the surrounding rice paddies, and two private treatment rooms, a steam room and changing areas on the lower level.
In the picturesque but little-visited Phobjikha Valley near the village of Gangtey, the eight-suite Amankora Gangtey is set on a forested knoll with sweeping views of the broad valley and the 16th-century Gangtey Goemba (monastery).
Bhutan luxury accommodations and guest facilities are housed together. The combined Living and Dining Room features cosy chairs, sofas and family-style dining tables, all looking out through floor-to-ceiling windows over the valley and surrounding mountains. Spa facilities consist of two massage treatment rooms and changing areas on the lodge's ground floor.
Adjacent to the first and second King of Bhutan's palace, Wangdichholing, Amankora Bumthang lies within the town of Jakar in the Choekhor Valley in an area commonly known as Bumthang.
Access to Amankora Bumthang passes alongside the former royal sports ground of Bhutan's first two kings, a traditional and much-used archery area, and circles a stately peach tree. The lodge is surrounded by an apple orchard and features pear trees along its boundary with the Palace. A dzong-inspired hallway at the lodge's entrance opens onto a Library and a comfortable Living Room appointed with lounge chairs, daybeds and a traditional bukhari. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer views of a landscaped courtyard adjoining the shared Palace grounds. Adjacent is the regally-appointed Dining Room with its soaring ceiling. Outdoor dining areas under the shade of local fruit trees are also provided in the courtyard. The Spa, located just above the entranceway, offers three intimate treatment rooms, a steam room and changing areas.

Batzer Nets Hat Trick in 5-3 Women's Soccer Victory
Skelly Adds Two Goals
SALEM, ORE.-- Senior Alex Batzer (F, Medford, OR/North Medford HS) earned a hat trick to help the Willamette University women's soccer team earn their first win of the 2010 season, 5-3, over visiting Bethel University (Minn.). Junior Stephanie Skelly (MF, Poulsbo, WA/North Kitsap HS) netted Willamette's other two goals.
The victory moved Willamette to 1-2-0 on the season and dropped Bethel to 1-1-1. The Bearcats will play one more contest, at Northwest University on Sept. 11 at 12 p.m. (PDT), before opening Northwest Conference play against Linfield College on Sept. 15 in McMinnville, Ore.
The hat trick was the first for Bazter during her Willamette career. In addition, it was the Bearcats' first hat trick since Lauren Miller ('09) tallied three goals against Lewis & Clark College on Oct. 23, 2007.
Skelly scored the first goal of the game just six minutes into the contest on a header from just three yards out. She was assisted by Maddy Grainger (So., F, Salt Lake City, UT/West HS) on the play.
Bethel followed with a goal of its own in the 17th minute before Batzer netted her first goal of the game and the season. She scored at 25:40 on a header following a corner kick and was assisted by Allie Mack (So., D, Olympia, WA/Olympia HS).
Bethel found the back of the net once more before the half ended. The goal, scored by Molly Miller in the 27th minute sent the game into halftime tied 2-2.
Once again, it was Batzer who opened the second half with a goal for WU. The senior scored unassisted from eight yards away to give Willamette a 3-2 lead at the 52:16 mark.
Less than two minutes later Skelly's shot on a breakaway from seven yards away found the back of the net and gave Willamette a two-goal cushion at 4-2.
Willamette continued to dominate possession and shot attempts in the second half. Batzer scored her final goal in the 66th minute to give WU a 5-2 lead.
Bethel would add one more goal at 78:34 to make the final score 5-3.
The Bearcats took 13 shots compared to Bethel's six. In the second half, Willamette outshot Bethel, 6-2.
Kelli Gano (Sr., Portland, OR/Cleveland HS) and Nicole Price (Fr., Auburn,WA/Thomas Jefferson HS) split time at 'keeper for Willamette. Gano had two saves. Price picked up her first goalkeeper victory.

DoubleX Book Of The Week: "Woman Lawyer" by Barbara Babcock
Professor Barbara Babcock's book, "Woman Lawyer," is praised as the "DoubleX Book of the Week" in the following Slate article. Dahlia Lithwick filed the following story:
It's easy to imagine that the whole subject of women as glamorous public intellectuals--balancing their fabulous public images against the demands of raising their children and the slights and slimes of gender stereotyping--was all an invention of the 2010 presidential election season. But long before Hillary Clinton's tears and Sarah Palin's hockey mom, savvy American women were fighting their way into the public sphere, with a burp cloth in one hand and a copy of the Constitution in the other.
Stanford Law School's Barbara Babcock has written a wonderful biography of one of America's forgotten "firsts." The book is called Woman Lawyer: The Trials of Clara Foltz. (Disclosure, I was a student of Babcock's, who was also one of America's "firsts"--the first woman appointed to the regular Stanford faculty and the first director of the Public Defender Service in Washington, D.C.) Babcock's book is about Clara Shortridge Foltz, an undereducated farmer's wife, and the abandoned single mother of five children, who managed to become the first woman admitted to the California Bar. California was changing rapidly in the 1870s, new ideas were everywhere; new characters could invent themselves overnight. And so Foltz managed to game the media, persuade all-male juries, and convince reluctant state legislators to listen to her. In so doing, she also managed to become a leading light of the women's equality movement, the suffrage movement, and the push for a public defender system, as well as an advocate of other important progressive legal reforms that are still with us today.

Paige Stawicki
Oct. 24, 2013
ATHENS, Ga. – Georgia equestrian Western captain Paige Stawicki has been selected as an inductee for the 2012-2013 Leadership Academy. Stawicki joins fellow equestrian Julia Hemingway who was inducted last year.
"I'm really honored to be chosen by the coaches and administration to participate in such an elite program," said Stawicki. "I look forward to working with the other L.E.A.D. representatives and furthering my leadership roles here at UGA."
The induction to L.E.A.D. is among many accomplishments Stawicki has earned during her career at Georgia. As a freshman, Stawicki was named the Most Valuable Player in Horsemanship at the 2012 NCEA Championship, was named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll following both her freshmen and sophomore year and was named to the 2013 NCEA Academic Team. Additionally, Stawicki will be representing Georgia in the 2013 Horsemanship Challenge at the American Quarter Horse Association World Championships in November.
L.E.A.D. is in its fourth year and has over 70 student-athlete members with the addition of this year's class. Athletes are selected based on several criteria including academic and athletic success, leadership, campus and community service involvement and recommendations of head coaches and academic counselors.

The atmosphere is tense even before entering the restaurant. Never felt like this in my life. If the restaurant is crowded you are asked to wait outside on the stairs. No way to get in as the weary customers that have been waiting for an hour or so will make sure that you are kept away from the door. The owner keeps yelling in Spanish and sounds very rude with the employees. If you are going for the food, you will be better-off if you rely on fruit and hescher products.

My non-Jewish fsister-in-law went out of her way to take me to find a nice Kosher place for me. So I tried to make the best of it= high prices, no atmosphere. No fish too, although it appears on the menu. We both ordered a hamburger platter: 1- very pleasant and helpful Mexican waitress 2-Presentation was wonderful, but too bad a cow gave it's life for this. It was beef that tasted like oversalted kabab. I asked him if it was indeed beef or lamb. I ate 1/2 of my portion as not to offend my friend, but then realized that she could not eat it. The owner offered her a shnitzel instead. Final bill with one apple juice (bought in a bottle, no glass, no ice)- $62.00. That's right $62.00 for a few pieces of Kabob, 1 piece of fried schnitzl, and fries. If my sister-in-law hadn't made such an effort to find a restaurant for me, I definitely would have never ordered and left, or if for some reason I did, I would have just put down $30 and left. That would have been fair. There are many excellent Kosher restaurants in San Francisco, Mountain View, and Palo Alto; this is not one of them. This is not even close.

I heard about sabra grill from some friends back east from new york I visit san francisco last month and i decited to eat in sabra I have to say that they have nice and easy location to find (just in the entrance of china town). I walk up the stairs i ordered soup (very tasty), combo salad with falafel [very tasty and fresh just like israel) and then i ordered mix grill (chicken, beef, lamb) the meat was juicy and tasty. I really enjoy this meal and the service. I will recommend sabra to anyone not just because it's kosher also because the delicious food!
