|Patent application number
|AUTOMATED SHOE FITTING USING SHOE AND ADAPTER SYSTEM - A method for shoe fitting includes identifying outer foot outlines defining outer boundaries of feet of a user, and inner foot outlines defining weight-bearing areas of the feet in a computer-readable image of the feet. Weighted foot outlines are calculated based on the outer and inner foot outlines. A plurality of unfilled shoes are defined by a common shoe last having a last bottom outline, and sets of different left and right interchangeable insole adapters for insertion into the unfilled shoes are provided. The adapters match the last bottom outline and have respective adapter outlines. The weighted foot outlines are compared with the adapter outlines, to determine an optimal shoe size of a pair of shoes out of the plurality of the unfilled shoes, and to select left and right insole adapters from the sets of the interchangeable insole adapters whose adapter outlines best match the weighted foot outlines.

World Class Kitchen and Bath - World Class Kitchen and Bath
As Matawan, New Jersey's "one-stop shop" for kitchen and bath construction and remodeling, World Class Kitchen and Bath has been accredited by the Better Business Bureau since February of 2009. Owned and operated by founder Joe Vitale, World Class Kitchen and Bath serves as a complete design center that can handle any consumer kitchen and bath project from initial sales to final installation.
Mr. Vitale drew upon his 17 years of experience as a general construction worker to build the innovative bathroom and kitchen retail showroom that he had always envisioned. Choosing a dilapidated, 100-year-old building as the site for his new business proved successful in two different ways. First, it provided the opportunity to build his firm from the ground up, allowing Mr. Vitale to design a state-of-the-art construction headquarters and sales facility that utilizes the latest in computer-assisted technology. Secondly, it showed potential customers exactly what type of remodeling and renovation the construction company was capable of. The company's showroom and headquarters proved an excellent example of what Mr. Vitale and his firm would be able to produce for customers.
World Class Kitchen and Bath offers an extensive showroom and a revolutionary computer design program to let customers view every detail of their new kitchen or bathroom before any work is started. To further ensure satisfaction, the company only stocks cabinetry made by established companies that offer lifetime warranties on their products.
Additionally, every employee is a highly trained and experienced construction professional who has been handpicked by Joe Vitale himself.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - It's a Christmas tradition that goes back decades. Every year, Lexington's Fraternal Order of Firefighters collects toys for less fortunate children. Firefighters say they need a lot more help to make sure the 1,200 children signed up for the program receive gifts this year. The number of new families on the list to get gifts is at an all-time high.
"We had a lot of people come in this year that admitted they're normally the donors. They normally help us out, or normally on the other side of that table helping out. And this year they're kinda in need of assistance," explains Lexington Firefighter John Durr.
"I think they would be very surprised that they may be helping somebody like their neighbor. And I helped out with the sign ups, I saw their people come in, I know where they live, and they're coming from neighborhoods that we wouldn't expect."
The items firefighters are still looking for are bicycles. They're hoping to fill up a whole corner of the warehouse with them by Saturday. Other items they need more of by Saturday include board games and arts and crafts kits.
"Anything like crayons, coloring books, children's books," says Durr.
Firefighters at all fire stations in Lexington are accepting gifts up until Saturday morning.

I performed to MADONNA's "VOGUE" in the Summer of 1991 when my parents took me to Hampton Beach Casino in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire. A business in the casino at the time gave tourists the chance to lip-synch to their favorite pop songs in front of a blue screen background, and I was lucky enough to partake that summer.
In honor of the twentieth anniversary of MADONNA's "TRUTH OR DARE" and in celebration of MADONNA's upcoming "W.E.", here is my nine year old self paying tribute to the woman who changed my life and continues to inspire me just as much today as twenty years ago.

Vásquez Pleased with New England Result
September 10 vs. New England Revolution Nagamura (DL)
For the first time since May 15th, Chivas USA are out of
the Western Conference basement.
The Goats' 2-0 victory over the New England Revolution on
Friday evening at The Home Depot Center in Carson,
Calif. handed the team its fifth win at home
this season and helped the team leapfrog Houston
at the bottom of the West. The Red-and-White are now in 7th place
with seven games left to play.
"It was a solid team effort," said Chivas USA Head Coach Martín
Vásquez after the win. "Offensively, defensively – I thought everybody was
solid. It's a good win for us. It comes at a good moment."
Chivas USA
charged out of the game in Friday's game, scoring their first goal in just the
7th minute. The team bristled with energy right from the opening
whistle, which hasn't always been the case this season.
"We've been against the wall for most of the season," said
Vásquez. "We needed to continue with this urgency to get three points –
especially at home. After the tough week we had last week, [the players] came
in and approached this game in a way that we need to approach every game from
now on."
Chivas USA
was lead by new striker Alan Gordon. The former Galaxy man was everywhere on
Friday evening, assisting on both goals for the Goats in an impressive
"Two assists, helping us defensively on set pieces, great
mobility connecting – solid performance," said Vásquez of Gordon. "Him adapting
well and today, he was on. Talking to him, if he continues to give us these
performances, he'll start getting his share of goals as well."
The Red-and-White will travel to San
Diego for a friendly against sister club Chivas de Guadalajara on
Tuesday at Petco Park before returning home to host the
Kansas City Wizards next Saturday. And if their play on Friday evening was any
indication, Chivas USA
has no intention of giving up on their postseason hopes just yet.
"This has been a season where we've been learning and
understanding each other," said Vásquez. "Today we came out ready and it paid
off. We have to continue to do that."

Senate President Don Gaetz
- Filed Under
After state workers received their first pay hike in more than six years, public-employee unions are calling for another round of raises this year.
But lawmakers are eyeing tax and fee cuts, school funding and environmental projects during the election-year legislative session that begins Tuesday. Despite surging revenue that outstripped the state's budgeted needs, legislative leaders say a repeat performance may not be assured.
"Last year, I thought (raises) were a moral imperative," said Senate President Don Gaetz. "We'd gone six years without a pay raise for people who I think were ...

Alex Burns reports how much more money Mitt Romney's campaign and super PAC spent in Illinois than Rick Santorum's.
"Rick Santorum's campaign and super PAC have been outspent by a margin of 7 to 1 in the Illinois primary, with forces supporting Mitt Romney shelling out a total of about $3.7 million on the airwaves, according to a GOP media-buying source," Burns writes.
"Romney's campaign has spent $1,117,704 million in Illinois while the super PAC Restore Our Future has put in $2.556,353 million. The Santorum campaign spent a comparatively modest $219,961 and the super PAC backing Santorum, the Red White and Blue Fund, put in $312,150."
Romney leads in Illinois polls. According to the RealClearPolitics average, Romney has an average of 41 percent, Santorum 31 percent, Newt Gingrich 13.3 percent, and Ron Paul 8.3 percent.
The greatest spending discrepancy comes in the Chicago media market. "The gulf was even more enormous in the crucial, expensive Chicago media market," Burns reports. "There, Romney's campaign spent $710,158 and his super PAC spent $1,367,125. The only pro-Santorum spending was $97,119 from the campaign. ... That amounts to a spending disparity of 21 to 1 in Romney's favor."
The Illinois primary is being held today.

December 1, 2015
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The United States Attorney for Middle Tennessee is stepping down to enter securities fraud law in Nashville.
Jerry Martin made his mark combatting white-collar crime, including health care fraud, during his three years as the government's top lawyer in the region.
Martin told The Tennessean (http://tnne.ws/16rNhGH ) his departure Monday might seem abrupt, but he wanted to wait until he handled the effects of automatic federal budget cuts on his office.
Martin will create a Nashville office for Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd. The San Diego-based firm represents investors who sue with claims of deception and fraud.
Martin said he's more interested in representing underdogs than in championing corporate interests.
He was appointed U.S. attorney by President Barack Obama in 2010.

If you ever find yourself at a Chinese restaurant and an iceberg salad starts your meal and a fortune cookie ends it, you're probably sitting in a dining subphylum best described as Chinese-American, the kind of place that predates the ubiquitous takeout chains with cute pandas as mascots. We're talking kung pao chicken and sweet-and-sour everything. May Garden is a throwback to those times, with a dining room that looks more like a country home in Nantucket than Nanking. (EG) 1400 Bristol St., Costa Mesa, (714) 751-9229.
Jamillah Ma introduced Orange County to Chinese Muslim cuisine more than a decade ago, and she continues the craft at Ma's Islamic Restaurant,a spacious lot just past the railroad tracks. Her pedigree doesn't mean this place rests on its laurels, however. Far from it: Standards are higher than the distinctive dome outside. The scallion flatbread, as large and thick as deep-dish pizza, is legendary, while the orange chicken, characterized by just the right amount of sweetness, elicits "oohs" and "aahs" from those who have succumbed to it. And FYI: Muslims know lamb the way Vietnamese know pho.(LM) 601 E. Orangethorpe Ave., Anaheim, (714) 446-9553.
The bright, popular, child-friendly Tri-Village café showcases Chinese cuisine and northern dim sum, with the rest of the menu devoted to massively portioned dishes. Too many specialties to single out, although can't-go-wrong choices include the pan-fried pot stickers: eight envelopes of charred, doughy casing filled with pork and vegetables. And if you're undecided about what else to order, simply scan the room for something you like the look of and utter the magic words, "We'll have what they're having." It worked for us! (LM) 14121 Jeffrey Rd., Irvine, (949) 857-8833.

If you desire a little spice in your Chinese food, it has to be Szechuan fare. The two outposts of Chong Qing Mei Wei specialize in the region's hellish cuisine, bent on eroding your stomach lining—these places love chile oil like Italians love olive oil. Fistfuls of dried, gnarled red chiles over some dishes will make it look like a red party popper exploded, igniting an unquenchable fire in your mouth that continues to smolder in your gut. "Please aware of the spiciness for the spicy food," the menu warns. Duh! (EG) 5406 Walnut Ave., Ste. C, Irvine, (949) 651-8886; 22371 El Toro Rd., Ste. A, Lake Forest, (949) 380-8869.
We fully support Taiwan's autonomy, Chuck DeVore, but bear with us for the sake of this article, will ya? The island's food can be as simple as rice topped with soy-sauce-cooked ground pork, as dastardly complex as the Taipei night-market specialty, stinky tofu. The latter is an infamous, fetid-smelling treat, which is probably best left to outdoor eating; yet they serve it at Nice Time Deli, indoors, at arguably the longest-running, most-consistent Taiwanese restaurant in OC. (EG) 5408 Walnut Ave., Ste. A, Irvine, (949) 654-8542.
Rasthal Vegetarian Cuisine is dedicated to the meat-free cuisine of southern India, as well as to how they eat: the thali, a kind of subcontinental TV-dinner tray with slots for whatever veggie stews the kitchen is turning out. Add unlimited roti, soft basmati rice or khichdi—rice with lentils—and top with chutneys and garnishes (beware the nuclear-powered pickled carrots!). The adjacent room is a Gujarati chaat shop, the Indian equivalent of a candy store, stocked with salted and spiced rice, lentils, beans, nuts, chiles and noodles. (LM) 2751-2755 W. Lincoln Ave., Anaheim, (714) 527-3800.
Chinese food goes where the diaspora takes it, even in India. Don't expect a dumbing down of flavors, though. The Indians go the other way with it. What you get in the fusion is doubly spicy and unforgiving in its heat. Annapoorna has a dish called chili chicken, as explosive as a Chinese firecracker and as sweat-inducing as a Mumbai summer. They even have Chinese-style fried rice, even though their own culture already has an indigenous one-pot rice dish called biryani. (EG) 14450 Culver Dr., Ste. A, Irvine, (949) 651-1144; www.myannapoorna.com.
It's worth a visit to Haveli for the luxurious interior (almost) as much as its food. The food is largely stuff you've seen, but done better. The spicing is spot-on—tandoori chicken literally sizzles, while curry redeems the dish from the dozens of bad buffets in the county. Combine with a garlic naan, and no Twilight fan will talk to you again. (LM) 13882 Newport Ave., Ste. G, Tustin, (714) 669-1011; www.havelifineindiancuisine.com.
Dosa Place is one of the precious few Southern California restaurants specializing in the cuisine of Andhra Pradesh, a state renowned for scorching tamarind-based platters and, of course, dosas—a pancake-cum-crepe-cum-waffle cone with a savory center. Its behemoth size needs an outstretched arm to describe. Often rolled to bazooka-long cylinders, its wingspan is meant to elicit awe, shooting past the width of its plate by at least a foot. (EG) 13812 Red Hill Ave., Tustin, (714) 505-7777; www.dosaplace.com.
The lengthy menu of Italian-American creations at Cucina Alessá, boosted by daily specials, makes it virtually impossible to choose, but we've never been disappointed by anything, from pasta to salads to meat and fish. Try the standout conchiglie gamberi e asparagi, a classic pairing of shrimp with asparagus, enriched by a lobster cream sauce, or the superlative rib-eye. Heck, even the much-maligned Brussels sprout—prepared here in classic Italian fashion, with garlic, pancetta, sage and butter—is a must-order. (LM) 6700 W. Coast Hwy., Newport Beach, (949) 645-2148; 520 Main St., Huntington Beach, (714) 969-2148; www.cucinaalessa.com.

This week, we all got into the holiday spirit! It looks like everyone was busy decorating and celebrating which made for some great pictures! It's the perfect time of year for captuing some amazing light bokeh. Based on your pictures this week, you love it as much as I do!
Here is this week's 15 Holiday Photographs.
1. Marsha Mood – This is breathtaking! The reflection in the water adds drama.
2. Jan Sumner – What a cutie! I like that you strung up lights behind her for some awesome bokeh.
3. Barbara Berg – Love this ornament. Just picked one up for myself and is proudly on my tree!
4. Carmen Carde – I love the lighting for the tree lights in this. Really highlights the ornament!
5. Susan Padilla – Love the light bokeh behind your cute pup!
6. Brandi Bieber – This is a great way to switch up your angles when photographing Christmas trees.
7. Terri Sims – Oh my…cuteness overload! I like the light bokeh overlay you used on this one.
8. Judy Macedo – Love the warm tones in this one. And look at that awesome bokeh!
9. Peg Brantman – I don't know what it is about your picture but it looks like a campfire! By getting up close, you gave an illusion that this is more than just a candle.
10. Barb Tatum – Again, I am a sucker for holiday bokeh! It's almost impossible not to capture some this time of year.
11. Mary Richards – I am loving all of these holiday bokehs! 'Tis the season for them. They frame your ornament perfectly.

13. Melanie Barrett – What a great way to highlight your decorations. It looks so pretty!
14. Kari O'Gorman – There is more to capture during the holidays than lights and decorations. My family used to play a lot of games together this time of year.

Game crashes to the desktop whenever I start a campaign. Didn't even had a turn or chance to see the campaign map.
Same problem here, i can play if i dont have the trainer running at all. tried different compatibility settings and different operating systems. im on windows 8 64 bit, and my computer is more than ample enough for the game. any way of posting a updated fixed trainer any time soon please. thank you and love your service.
trainer won't open, uninstalled my AV and put an exception in the firewall. saw in the task manager's processes that the "*.exe" is running, but nothing's happening.
Try updating Microsoft Visual C++
Just wondering why do we have to activate/deactivate the trainer every turn? I mean why it crashes when we don't turn it off, the very early version of the trainer doesnt do this, I'm just curious thats all
btw really appreciate what you guys have done, cheers!
Having same exact problem> Please update
It doesn't crash for everyone, turning the options off before ending the turn is just a measure of preventing crashes.
And it's possible Creative Assembly changed something in the 10098th update that made this happen.

I stopped plaiying video games like in 2008 I think the last game I played was ocarina of time or banjo kazooi one of those I can't remember. After that I dedicated my life to music and then skateboarding. So I didn't played melee or those pokemons. I just liked the red, blue, yellow versions and I thought the next generation of Pokemon were so fake! Now I come back gaming in 2011 and I started playing nintendo last year. I already have smash for 3ds and ill get it for wii U. ill check out those Pokemon series to see if they have some similarities to some of the first entries of the series. I have Pokemon Y and I didn't like it, I'm not really playing it. Too much 3d for me and the controls sucks, the guy moves to fast or too slow :/
It easy to say it but to do it it's another story!! I have been trying and is not possible !!!! How is he doing it !! I was tryin the one at wario when he jumps and land on the corner of the other ramp to do the low trick and it just impossible to get in the corner !! Ahhhhhhh

@yoko19191 #OperationPlatinum
For me online play really matters. because I don't have friends that play video games, so I have to go online always. I don't really feel a game is funy when not played with someone else, it gets bored after a while playing with the com. So I will decide skip this game and save the money for bayo 2 and smash
Gorgeous game !! I have preordered months ago
For me of course HYRULE WARRIORS and BAYONETTA 2!!!! I'm also getting project cars, captain toad and both smash bros.
I like it I like it !!! I'm getting exited about this game!!!!
I won a lot for watching an amazing event from Nintendo, I'm really thankfull that such a great company as its nintendo exists!!!
@FLipSide5254 would you like to race with me ?? Can I add you on my wii u friends list ??
@SetupDisk for those who are thinking in buying watch dogs be carefull it's a broken game!!!! The game just launched today and take a look at what people are reporting on YouTube here is the link

Wow how nice comments community !!

I'll stick to this site more often see you all in the race !!!! I'm glad l will be playing Mario Kart 8 next week with all of you guys !!!!!
I think the mushroom it's the most powerful if you know how to use it.
This game looks good I'm getting hyped about this. I have never played one of this warriors games so this will be my first entry to the series and it would be a great experience being a Zelda one. I'll preorder this one too.
Well to be honest I dot like the ps4 even thought I have not played it but I had the ps3 which bored me a lot the only games keep me playing two yrs ago were cod and FIFA. Yeah I know FIFA is a waste but I think cod still more descent. I change to Nintendo consoles last year and I think it's way more fun and I liked those Mario games and to be honest I never played such a great game like Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze in a Sony console. I don't hate Sony but what I hate is that people talk trash about Nintendo when actually nintendo makes extremely fun games, that's my problem !
Please watch the profanity — TBD
I feel sorry for the ps4, it doesn't even have a year old and it's doomed already.
Here U go, only for Wii U!!! AWESOME!!!!!
Happy racing everyone

Existing Home Sales and Prices continue to fall, according to the latest release from the National Association of Realtors. Existing Homes Sales fell in 38 states, led by steep declines in Arizona, Florida and California, as once-booming housing market showed further signs of a steep
The WSJ noted that "the declines were the largest in once-booming areas of
the country. Sales fell by 36% in Arizona; 34.2% in Florida and 28.6%
in California. In all, nine states had sales declines in the summer of
20% or more compared to the third quarter of 2005."
The NAR also noted weakness in sales in metropolitan areas. According to a separate
survey by the Realtors group in 148 metropolitan areas, price surveys
showed that the median — or midpoint — price for an existing home
sold in the third quarter dipped to $224,900, down 1.2% from a year
In my experience, the reported median sale drop of 1.2% simply does not accurately reflect reality; I suspect it is being biased upwards by "trophy" property prices prices and other adjustments.
Warning: Anecdotal story to follow
Last summer ('05), we looked at an out-of-our-price-range 7 figure plus property. "Its for comparison purposes only" said the Real Estate Agent.
Of course, Mrs. Big Picture fell in love with it. Sunken living room, gorgeous kithcen, fireplace in the Master BR, huge piece of property, just a 5 minute walk to the L.I. Sound. We heard thru the grapevine that a deal was had, fairly close to the asking price. Comparables on the same street had gone in the nines and better.
But the deal fell apart, and the house went back on the market. We watched it over the next 14 months on line at MLSLI, as the sellers chased the market down: $50k off, then another $40k then another $60, and then another and another. The price eventually fell 20% from original asking price.
I asked the agent what the repsonse would be if I offered yet another $50k less than the re-reduced price. She said: "They would jump on it." We would then have to figure out how to sell my more modest home between Thanksgiving and Xmas. (yeah, good luck with that).
In speaking with other agents and watching the online listing of prices drop, its apparent that this was not a unique situation. Prices continue to drop, and a whole lot more than the 1.2% the NAR is revealing. Prices are falling rapidly due to what can be euphemistically described as "motivated" sellers. Maybe this helps explain some of the reason why: Foreclosures spiked up 42% in October (year over year).
Perhaps the usually hallucinogenic David Lereah, the Realtors' chief economist, got it is right this time: "With the market
in full transition, buyers now have choices [read: more inventory] and sellers are more
willing to negotiate [read: desperate]. Under these circumstances, it's no
surprise that overall home prices are slightly below a year ago."
As the admittedly anecdotal example shows, "slightly" is a slight exaggeration . . .
Total state existing-home sales
Third-quarter metro area single-family home prices
Foreclosures spike in October, Up 42% over a year ago; Colorado, Nevada and Georgia lead.

38 Responses to "Existing Home Sales, Prices Fall"
Just in case you missed the story here in the Palm Beach Post (West Palm Beach, FL) yesterday, at least one home builder has been dramatically slashing prices to move inventory. The discounts: up to 51% off previous listed model price. An excerpt …
"That means residents such as Mark and Kim Andersen, who locked in $506,400 when they signed a contract for their five-bedroom home in early 2005, are living just down the street from a nearly identical five-bedroom home that Lennar sold to another buyer for $250,000 in late October."
Here's the link to the whole story:
Granted, we are in one of the absoulte bubbliest markets and other parts of the country are not as bad off. Granted also that this is just one builder in one subdivision. But similar things are happening all over this state and all over the country. I agree that the median price measures understate the magnitude of the declines we're seeing (once all incentives are factored in).
Lastly, even if you accept the median price stats at face value, the news still stinks. Median singe family home prices just fell in September by the largest year-over-year margin (2.5%) in recorded history, per the National Association of Realtors.
Home sales prices, I believe, don't take into account the incentives offered by the sellers. If the seller sold a home for $500k and offered a $50k BMW along with it. The sales price will still be recorded as $500k even though it is effectively $450K for the buyer.
And incentives are plenty in this market!!
it does seem that a quiet rout is taking place with regards to house prices here in SoCal…Lots of price reductions, lengthy DaysOnMarket,expired listings and cancellations. Realtors still attempting to paint pretty pictures for the few buyers out this time of year, but you can feel it in the air….buyer disinterest.

Home Is Where the Cash Cow Lives
By Tony Crescenzi
RealMoney.com Contributor
Home-equity loans increased for a ninth consecutive week last week, up a smidgen to $466.1 billion from $466.0 billion the previous week. The steady increases indicate that households are once again turning to their homes to obtain cash.
This suggests that home values have not fallen by enough to cause an implosion in this key lending category, which is something that many in the bear camp have been expecting. That said, recent gains have been small in comparison to the $100 billion increase seen in the year ended June 2005, when home equity borrowing began to fall.
Still, the lack of a significant contraction in home-equity borrowing reinforces the notion that there has not yet been any meaningful spillover from the weakened housing market into other sectors of the economy.
Warning: anecdote ahead. True story tho – good friend finally sold their nice house in a nice San Diego neighborhood at a net loss (after selling costs, etc). They bought the house in mid '04. Everything I read tells me that only those who bought at the "top" in late '05 are underwater. Hmmm.
Yes, recent "gains" are no gains. Give me a break. Simply flat and soon to be dropping. Get the clue Tony. That is a spillover.
Michael C.
Hmmm… Rising HELOC debt and a downward trajectory on house prices. It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.
When you use median sales price for a large numbers of sales it is difficult to see price change. Also the realtors are famous for taking a listing off the MLS and then relisting it with a lower price. Then you have the builders incentives and sellers paying closing costs not factored into these numbers.
On my website at http://www.charlestonmarketreport.com I track existing home sales, building permits, foreclosures, inventory and interest rates to give readers a macroview of the local market. All of these indicators are in unfavorable status right now.
Q3 2006 is looking very similar to last real bad real estate market we had in the early 90s during the recession. Some speculators, builders and investors are in deep trouble with multiple mortgages and no buyers in this market. The 4th quarter is only going to get worse due to the holidays.
I hope it picks up in the spring.
I asked the agent what the repsonse would be if I offered yet another $50k less than the re-reduced price. She said: "They would jump on it." We would then have to figure out how to sell my more modest home between Thanksgiving and Xmas. (yeah, good luck with that).
We'll know the RE industry is fully with it when they not only cut price, finance and offer incentives… but also take 'trade-ins' to cinch the deal.
Then it will be a profitable and sustainable as automobile manufacturing.
Then, Barry, who's to say you shouldn't offer $100k less or $500k less, or what the heck — $3 million less? The sharp edge of the falling knife cuts deep, doesn't it?
More like 1mm, not 3.
Also, I have found in any deal, I don't want to extract every last penny, but rather, find a price that represents a good deal for everyone –
You never know when you may need a concession down the road (post engineer) so starting out in the same ballpark as the seller is a better way to go — there is a lot of ego tied up in selling your home.
Note: this is existing sales data — not new
i'm seeing some stability at -10% off peaks in the starter home range ($500-$700k) in NJ commuter towns like Westfield and Summit. then again i have a relative that is trying to sell an existing house in Plainview Long Island. listed in early July at $759k, current price $689k but was under contract that just fell out at $655k and they've already closed on their new place.
the market health isn't just local, it's gotten more granular down to the price point and section of a particular town.
My friends who are selling in West Hollywood CA are still seeing HUGE profits. There has been no downturn yet. Price of two bedroom condo in my building
2001 150,000
2002 175,000
2003 250,000
2004 325,000
2005 425,000
2006 550,000 (10 days ago)
I bet so Iola, I smell Troll all over your post because my "friend" tells me different.
Well lola, since you have the data you won't be surprised once prices for 2 bedrooms in your condo return to $150,000 (plus inflation if you're feeling generous).
Re your comment that median price decline of 2% biased by a few trophy properties. I think you're confusing mean and median. A few trophy properties wouldn't affect median price, though they might affect the mean.
No really I'll give you the adress and you can look up the tax records on the parcel viewer.
property boom still in full-force over here in the UK…from what I've seen, your average london flat (apartment) is up 15-20% from last year, and prices in london are being reported up 1.5-2.0% a MONTH over the last couple of months. there has been no let up for a long time. (and don't call me a troll, i'm fully bearish!).
and from what i read, US property prices seem reasonable compared to london…your average/nice/OK 2 bedroom apartment, of say 900-1000 square feet in an ok area of london, is ~$1mm (£500-600k). and trust me i mean average.
give me a McMansion in florida any time!
This is also completely anecdotal, but prices are definitely not falling everywhere.
A friend of mine just sold her condo here in Seattle for full price. After 8 days on the market. No gimmicks or giveaways or funky stuff. PLUS she just emailed me to say a second full price offer has come in today.
Now I have heard that prices here are "flattening". And the place my friend is selling is in the "affordable" range (under 500k) which is still in pretty short supply here in town. But she is thrilled and is getting a lot more then she paid just 4 years ago.
So take that for what it is worth. As a renter, I am still hoping for prices to actually come DOWN so I can buy!
Parents of a friend just sold their home. It was placed on the market on a weekend (September) and they had four solid offers the first week. However, as the previous poster, it was in a moderately priced neighborhood. They had been in their home over 35 years, and set the list price as per the realitors advice. I didn't ask the price, but would guess from the area that it would be $150,000 to $200,000. Surely, not more.
On the other hand, in the neighborhood where I live ($300,000 to $500,000) there are several homes that have been on the market for quite a while and not sold, some of which have "reduced" on their for sale signs. This is the midwest, so these are upper tier homes, but not "top" tier.
Prices in Seattle are certainly stickier than a lot of us renters would prefer–I agree with Seattle guy about that.
But I also suspect (memory fails somewhat) that Seattle remained gung-ho about the dot-com craze longer than many places, also.
In other words, I think Seattle's exceptionalism is likely a temporary phenomenon. They are still buidling (esp. condos) like its 2003 …
I see a lot of homes selling in my neighborhood – but that isn't a 'bullish' sign… I live in an older lower cost part of town & people moving in are often times 'stepping down' not 'up'.
Here, BR… here's a little entry for all our housinistas:
"Crow Almondine"
6 large crow, dressed birds on ice (or can substitute 12 dove or snipe split down back)
1/4 cup flour
Salt and pepper
4 tbsp. butter
1/2 cup white table wine
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1/4 cup blanched, sliced almonds
Dust quartered crow portions in flour seasoned with salt and pepper. Melt butter in a heavy skillet or electric frying pan and saute birds until nicely browned. Add wine and lemon juice. Cover and continue cooking slowly for 15-20 minutes. Add almonds and cook for 5-10 minutes longer or until birds are fork tender. (Allow 2 crow quarters per serving; 4 dove or snipe.)
Am I reading this right? Home prices dropped 5 to 10% in areas like Detroit MI, Dayton OH, Providence RI, Canton OH, Indianapolis IN?
WAIT A MINUTE!! I thought any housing slowdown would only affect the "red hot" markets like Flordia and Nevada? That's what David Lereah told us, right?
I don't seem to recall any articles about big booms in Canton or Appleton? How can those markets bust?
If a picture says a thousand words than this sums up the housing market…
(If you have 3 minutes)
I know that realtors pull houses off the market and then put them back on because it resets the days on market to zero. I wonder if they can play similar games with price.
Personally, I think the top of the equity market will be on Dec 5.
On that day, everyone of us will learn how to make money the easy way and retire.
JJCramer's book "Jim Cramer's Mad Money: Watch TV, Get Rich" comes out in full force on that date and making money in stocks thereafter will be like printing money so long as you have that 50 inch HD LCD TV turned up full blast.
I think the Midwest is falling for different reasons than the coasts. In the Midwest, the problem is not too many new condos locally but too many new factories in China.

Funny…. listenin' to people tryin' to piss up a rope.
Prices here (outside Boston) seem soft, but what I noticed today was that in our neighborhood advertising circular there were more real estate ads than I have ever seen in it. Normally, as you would expect, the ads are most numerous in the spring, and there are relatively few this close to the holidays.
I'm guessing that means there is a lot of inventory, and people are not willing to wait to try to sell it in the spring.
It will be interesting to see how much inventory there is then.
Median prices changes are usually a good reflection of the typical change in value, but where they aren't is when the whole market skews towards/away from one type/price of product.
This would be highly unusual, not impossible, but fairly improbable. A better explanation is that the median change IS accurate, but some ends of the market are experiencing more rapid changes.
Median prices will begin falling more rapidly – wait till the first quarter …
Jay Walker
Speaking for Appleton (relative proximity to me) any influence there would predominately relate to Kimberly Clark shuttering a facility. (300 some jobs) Just south of Appleton (I'm not sure if this is in the Appleton evaluation) another company announced a closing. Not to be dour though, Oshkosh Truck and Manitowoc Crane are doing fine and expanding.
Indianapolis and Detroit's problems I'm sure relate to the auto industry.
I'm just not seeing the indicators of a curve shift in real estate (outside of a few markets where there have been massive layoffs). At this point, it is nothing more than a correction. When foreclusures are +2-3x yoy, I think we can say there is a curve shift occuring.
From what it seems, the Realtors have been trying to squeeze every penny out of buyers and speculators alike who were heading into this market. Hence, sayings like "Housing only goes up" and "Always good time to buy".
I believe that as soon as it becomes primarily relevant to all that we have a serious housing "recession" in our midst, these same Realtors will be jumping to the other side of the fence shouting bloody murder for every owner to "Sell as soon as possible at any cost". Again pinching every penny, but this time from the selling spree.
Remember, it's their job.
any connection between the recent increase in teh money supply and the housing crash?
I hadn't heard of this one before. $1mil + development in NJ incents with "furnished garage." That's a garage outfitted with a 6 figure Maserati. But home prices aren't falling.
"I suspect it is being biased upwards by "trophy" property prices prices and other adjustments."
Actually, as we are looking at the median price and a large number of transactions, that can't be the case. An average price would be affected more severely by an upward price skew, but the median reduces a lot of that skew. The lower median price, does tell us that the sales mix is trending downward, so it'll be interesting to see how it all turns out.

A multi-vehicle accident on Route 7, North of the locks and dams, has traffic backed up.
Officials said the accident occured when a woman driving a pick- up in the Northbound lane lost control of her vehicle on the snowy road, hitting an SUV head on.
They said she also hit a semi-truck behind the SUV, causing two cars behind the semi to crash into it.
The woman and her passenger were rushed to the hospital with what authorities said appeared to be non-life threatening injuries.

If the banner ad isn't dead, it's certainly on life support. Once upon a time (actually, not so long ago), there was one way to advertise online: the almighty banner ad. But, the banner ad just didn't do enough. It didn't fully take advantage of the medium, it was hard to track, and it certainly […] more »

Fake It 'Till You Make It
God loves you unconditionally, as you are and not as you should be, because nobody is as they should be. ~Brennan Manning
Fake it 'till you make is a popular catchphrase in successful sales programs and some good recovery programs. It hasn't, however, worked well for me as a spiritual practice.
I took a special math test in 7th grade. I scored high enough to be in the small group that were 'fast-tracked'. That meant skipping 8th grade math and going straight to Algebra. I was a good student. It would have been great except I really didn't get math.
From Algebra all the way through Calculus, I was completely lost so I faked it. It's tricky, faking math. There aren't any subjective Blue Book exams. There was a right answer, period.
Mr Huth, who sang at weddings and taught all of the advanced math classes, had only one struggling student (me) and one solution. I'd ask a question after class (not during because everyone else got it) and he'd send me home with his Teacher's Guide. We did that same dance for 5 years.
I had the problem. I had the solution. I had no idea how to get from one to the other so I memorized everything. I memorized pages and pages of sample work and applied it well enough to maintain a B. I tried. I listened. I took notes that I didn't understand and I faked it.
The same a + b = c happened to me when I was on the spiritual 'fast track'. I'd have (a) problems and (c) The Answer Book. I tried so hard. I listened. I took notes. I memorized Scripture. Still, I often didn't (b) know how to make real life equations work.
Everyone else seemed to be getting straight A's so I faked it. I didn't fake my faith – that was real. But I substituted what I truly thought and felt for how I thought I should think and feel. I gave all the right answers until I was numb.
We long to know the grace and mercy of God in our lives but we find ourselves tripped up by failure, by temptation, by ambivalence. Fearing disappointing others and the ensuing pep talk (usually a scriptural exhortation) and the have more faith talk. Or worse, that internal voice that says you (and you alone) aren't getting it right, compelling us to continue to fake it 'til we make it.
The message of grace shatters our fake facade. Grace says:
(a) God loves us as we are + (b) not as we should be = (c) because no one is as they should be
Grace frees us to love each other as the Father loves us. We can weep with those who weep because real people weep. We can rejoice with those who rejoice because we're freed from self-obsession.
No grades, just grace.
All is Grace – A Thank You to Brennan Manning
To live by grace means to acknowledge my whole life story, the light side and the dark. In admitting my shadow side I learn who I am and what God's grace means. As Thomas Merton put it, "A saint is not someone who is good but who experiences the goodness of God."The gospel of grace nullifies our adulation of televangelists, charismatic superstars, and local church heroes. It obliterates the two-class citizenship theory operative in many American churches. For grace proclaims the awesome truth that all is a gift. All that is good is ours not by right but by the sheer bounty of a gracious God. While there is much we may have earned–our degree and our salary, our home and garden, a Miller Lite and a good night's sleep–all this is possible only because we have been given so much: life itself, eyes to see and hands to touch, a mind to shape ideas, and a heart to beat with love. We have been given God in our souls and Christ in our flesh. We have the power to believe where others deny, to hope where others despair, to love where others hurt. This and so much more is sheer gift; it is not reward for our faithfulness, our generous disposition, or our heroic life of prayer. Even our fidelity is a gift, "If we but turn to God," said St. Augustine, "that itself is a gift of God." My deepest awareness of myself is that I am deeply loved by Jesus Christ and I have done nothing to earn it or deserve it."~ Brennan Manning (Th Ragamuffin Gospel)
Brennan Manning died yesterday, Friday, April 12, 2013. Brennan Manning once helped save my life.
I first read The Ragamuffin Gospel several years after it was published in 1990. Before Brennan, I thought grace was a nice word used in a benediction. I also thought that I was less raggedy than the average muffin.
As the years passed and the cracks in my veneer began to spiderweb, I no longer thought I was a such a fine person. I didn't see grace as a priceless gift from a loving Father. Grace had become something you fall from and I'd fallen far. And I remembered Brennan.
Re-reading The Ragamuffin Gospel as a broken person was like reading an entirely different book. It became my Life 101 book: God loves you as you are and not as you should be… Abba loves you very much…
My life is a witness to vulgar grace — a grace that amazes as it offends. A grace that pays the eager beaver who works all day long the same wage as the grinning drunk who shows up at ten till five. A grace that hikes up the robe and runs breakneck toward the prodigal reeking of sin and wraps him up and decides to throw a party, no ifs, ands, or buts. A grace that raises bloodshot eyes to a dying thief's request — "Please, remember me" — and assures him, "You bet!"…This vulgar grace is indiscriminate compassion. It works without asking anything of us. It's not cheap. It's free, and as such will always be a banana peel for the orthodox foot and a fairy tale for the grown-up sensibility. Grace is sufficient even though we huff and puff with all our might to try and find something or someone that it cannot cover. Grace is enough… ~ Brennan Manning (All is Grace)
I would say Rest in Peace, Brennan, but I don't think he resting. I think the Father has wrapped His arms around him and is throwing him a party!
Beauty Is As Beauty Does
There is a beautiful transparency to honest disciples who never wear a false face and do not pretend to be anything but who they are. ~Brennan Manning~
When I was in first grade, I was playing at my friend Tara's house. Her big sister, Patti, came downstairs carrying her yearbook. Patti was a sophomore. She was very smart and very popular.
Patti called us over to the sofa and opened the yearbook to the Senior Class pictures. She said: Who do you think is the prettiest girl in the class, Tara? It took Tara only a moment to point to the soon to be prom queen. Patti nodded and smiled and then passed the book to me. Debbie, who do you think is the prettiest girl in the class?
I liked Patti and I wanted her approval so I took the assignment very seriously. It was a small school. I don't know exactly how many were in the senior class but I considered each picture carefully until I was confident that I'd chosen well.
Even though this was decades ago and I couldn't tell you the name of another person in the entire high school, I remember my answer that day: Dorcas Miller. I can still picture Patti folding in with laughter. Dorcas Miller! Why in the world would you pick Dorcas Miller? She's fat and her hair looks like her Dad cuts it. I asked you to pick out the prettiest girl in the class, not the ugliest one, Debbie!
I'm sure I remember this because it was the first and only time Patti ever talked to me and I was embarrassed. But I defended my choice: I like her face. She looks like the nicest girl in the class and that makes her the prettiest.
When I was 7, beauty was a simple concept. Nice people (or in the case of Dorcas Miller, people I thought looked like they were nice) were beautiful. Not nice people weren't. There is a beautiful transparency to honest disciples who never wear a false face and do not pretend to be anything but who they are.
My thinking about most of life has changed over the years but my definition of beauty is pretty much the same. Beauty is as beauty does.
Where the Outcast Weeps
Our hearts of stone become hearts of flesh when we learn where the outcast weeps. ~ Brennan Manning
I loved this when I first read Abba's Child. I loved the poetry and imagery. I loved the idea of it. But I didn't get it – not really.
The day came when I knew I didn't know. How do you learn where the outcast weeps? I'd heard things like: Look at Jesus. Do what He did. He hung out with the outcasts. Go and hang out.
And that's true, but there's more.
Jesus was an outcast. So was His Father. They still are. That's the mark of grace.
For a very long time, I did all I could do not to be an outcast. I tried so hard to do everything right. I was afraid of being broken. I was afraid of the rejection. I was afraid of the embarrassment. I was afraid of being hurt. I protected my heart until it hardened. God has a name for that. Pride.
First pride, then the crash. The bigger the ego, the harder the fall. ~The Message, Proverbs 16:18
I didn't want to stand in the soup line. I wanted to be the one serving it up. I wanted to be the one who gave and didn't need to get. I didn't get it.
Only broken people know where the outcast weeps because they've wept there.
I'm not going to kid you, grace will mark you, break you. You'll never look perfect again. Not to yourself and not to others. You'll mend but the cracks will always show. It all depends on what you want.
If you want a heart of flesh, don't just hang with the outcasts, admit that you are one. Then go to the place where the outcast weeps and find comfort.
Name Recognition
The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians: who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, walk out the door, and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable. ~ Brennan Manning
My friend Greg recently wrote a thought-provoking piece.You can read his post: I don't like Christians to find out why he chooses the term Believer over Christian. Greg includes a video of DC Talk's song What if I Stumble which begins with Brennan Manning's quote: The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians…
If that's true, that's pretty tragic. I want to argue but I can't.
For almost 25 years, I had a training/seminar business with Heidi (many of you know her from Good Life). It was a slow starter. We hadn't written a book, we hadn't done anything famous. We had to establish name recognition.
As the business grew, even when it got to be too much to handle, we never hired a marketer. We were the product. We cared about how we were represented. Before accepting a contract, we talked at length with our potential employers about what they could expect from our time together. When we showed up, we wanted people to get what they bargained for, and hopefully more.
God has a name recognition problem. It isn't that people haven't heard of Him. He has written a book and He is famous. The problem is that He has us doing the marketing. When we show up, there often isn't much Good in the News. People aren't getting what they bargained for so they've quit signing up.
I can remember a time when I would hear someone call themselves a Christian and feel an immediate kinship. Now, I'm wary.
Christian, Believer, Disciple: it's not about what we call ourselves, it's about how we conduct ourselves.
Once again, I'm the product. This time I'm the product of His grace. If that isn't what I'm sharing, He's not getting what He paid for.
Be Loved
Define yourself radically as one beloved by God. This is the true self. Every other identity is illusion. ~ Brennan Manning
We define ourselves in innumerable ways: by our health: by our wealth; by our roles; by our rights; by our relationships; by our religion.
If the facade fits, we wear it.
What if Brennan is right? What if every identity is an illusion except our identity as one who is beloved by God. Where does that leave those of us who learned long ago to be selectively honest and cautiously vulnerable; to give instead of receive.
Sometimes we choose to give, not because it's more virtuous, but because it's safer. Sometimes we chose to love rather than be loved because being loved involves such inherent risk.
If we find our worth and definition as one beloved by God, we'll have to be willing to be loved by Him. Isn't that's what beloved means, to be loved by?
What do you say? Ready to run or ready to reveal? Ready to get radical and be who you already are? Ready to be loved, beloved?
Doin' What Comes Naturally
As we come to grips with our own selfishness and stupidity, we make friends with the impostor and accept that we are impoverished and broken and realize that, if we were not, we would be God. ~ Brennan Manning
A friend was describing how her reaction to a recent difficult encounter had made the entire situation so much worse for her. She went on to say: I was just doing what I've always done. It's natural to go back to the familiar.
That's true isn't it? It's true even if what we've always done hasn't gone terribly well. When we're overly stressed or tired or hurt or fearful, we tend to fall back on our reflexive, familiar responses. We're just doing what come naturally.
There are those who think we're all born sweet and lovely and would remain that way if the harshness of the world didn't assault and alter us. You have to wonder if those folks have spent any time in a nursery or with a room full of 2-year-olds.
I'm not interested in making an argument for a fallen nature, although I do think we have one. I can tell you, with a great degree of certainty, about my own nature. I can't remember the last time that doing what comes naturally in a difficult situation was my wisest response.
As a matter of fact, my natural reactions are often my guage for what not to do. What comes naturally for me in conflict is to pull in. What comes naturally for me when faced with very difficult decisions is to avoid making any at all. What comes naturally for me when I'm in pain is to pretend like I'm not hurting.
I've had to give up doing what comes naturally, realizing my natural nature is impoverished and broken. Some days I still want to cling to my need to be right, relish in my martyrdom, or lick my wounds. I take heart in the reminder that whenever I'm willing, God is willing to supply the grace for me to step out of my brokenness and do the unnatural: love others more than myself.
Good Little Soldiers
In a futile attempt to erase our past, we deprive the community of our healing gift. If we conceal our wounds out of fear and shame, our inner darkness can neither be illuminated nor become a light for others. ~ Brennan Manning
As the daughter of an ex-Marine and School Superintendent, I learned the life of perfected performance at an early age. I got good grades, I was always polite and I knew how to conduct myself in every social situation. I knew that, as the Superintendent's daughter, my behavior reflected on my Dad.
A year or so before he died, Dad apologized for being so tough on my sister and me, saying: I didn't know anything about being a father, I just wanted to raise good little soldiers. I think I always understood that on some level. He was a good father and I never doubted his love. His approval, however, was conditional and continued to be a major behavior modifier for me, from childhood into my adult life.
In time, I transferred a significant portion of that same perfected behavior and desire for approval from my earthly father to my heavenly One. I did good deeds, I was always polite and I knew how to conduct myself in every religious situation.
I thought I could fulfill my responsibility to community and to God by continuing to be a good little soldier. I concealed my wounds out of fear and shame. As Brennan says, in doing that, not only could my inner darkness not be illuminated (even to myself) but I was a very weak light for others.
Those that God has used most profoundly in my life, haven't been the perfect Christian soldiers. They've been the ones who've crawled to the stream, so thirsty that they shamelessly gulped water with trembling hands. They are the broken healers who share their struggles; who've found grace and who grant grace as a healing gift. I pray to be more and more like them.
God in a Box
If we maintain the open-mindedness of children, we challenge fixed ideas and established structures, including our own.
We listen to people in other denominations and religions. We don't find demons in those with whom we disagree.
We don't cozy up to people who mouth our jargon.
If we are open, we rarely resort to either-or: either creation or evolution, liberty or law, sacred or secular, Beethoven or Madonna. We focus on both – fully aware that God's truth cannot be imprisoned in a small definition. – Brennan Manning
Brennan's statement seems pretty radical. What about my paradigm? What about my systematic theology? What about my box?
I guess I've always put God in a box. But sadly, God shrunk as I grew. When I was little, the box was big. God was BIG. I knew that God was good and that He loved me. That was all I knew but it was enough and it was a really big box.
As I grew up the box got smaller. The more I was taught, the more I studied, the smaller the box, until one day I had all the answers. My theology was so systematic that I could slip God into a box small enough that it fit in my pocket.
I carried my little box everywhere I went for a very long time. My pocket-size theology served me well. I could pull it out anytime, anywhere and give anyone God's answers for their life.
My tiny box was perfectly, hermetically sealed. Even from God. As J.B. Phillips said My God was too small. These days I feel the call of radical grace. God is BIG, God is good. God loves me.

Fresh Ginger Ginger Ale by Bruce Cost
BevNET Review
Last Updated: 10/5/2009 1:21 PM
The final flavor of Ginger Ale by Bruce Cost that we sampled was this one, a mixture of their Original Ginger Ale and pomegranate puree. While it's a nice flavor, it's hard to pick this one over the other two, since the simplicity of the Original and the uniqueness of the Jasmine Tea variety are more appealing to us. Still, they've done a really nice job executing this product, with the pomegranate hiding from your tongue until the drink's finish. There, it really only appears as an accent flavor, softening the punch that's added by the fresh peeled ginger. On the outside, the branding definitely sends the message that there is a high quality beverage waiting on the inside. However, like the other flavored offering, putting the flavor name on the neck makes for a disjointed looking offering. Otherwise, we wouldn't change a thing. Overall, a very enjoyable product.

Conservation of interacting proteins by degree. (a) Each protein in the yeast interaction network was examined for orthologous proteins in the five higher eukaryotes, and binned according to degree. The proportion of each bin with orthologous proteins is shown. The linear trend shows the strong positive correlation (Spearman's rank r = 0.52, P = 2.8 × 10-11) between yeast and human proteins. (b) The proteins in the human interactome were compared against all five lower eukaryotes, and binned according to degree. This trendline also shows a strong correlation against yeast (Spearman's rank r = 0.50, P = 3.9 × 10-4), which is similar for worm and rat, and there is a weak (non-significant) correlation to fly. There was a weak negative correlation in mouse (Spearman's rank r = -0.02); however, the overall conservation was high, likely biasing this measurement.

"Still Silent (Self Portrait as the It Girl)," by Melissa Cooke

Frustration led to a new artistic style for Melissa Cooke.
A decade ago, Cooke was a printmaking student at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. While teaching undergraduate drawing classes, she was looking to try her hand at painting and working larger. A failed attempt at watercolors had her try something new and different -- graphite powder.
"I grabbed the nearest brush and four hours later had my first powdered graphite drawing," said Cooke, now a professional artist still based out of Madison. "After the first few hours, I was on cloud nine." ...

About 1790-1816
Gift of Katharine T. and Merrill G. Beede, Class of 1929; M.985.33.2
Richard Lee was an itinerant pewterer who, like many craftsmen, combined his trade with other vocations. According to his own account, he also served at various times as a preacher, a tanner, a merchant, and an herb doctor. In his later years in Springfield, Vermont, Lee peddled pewter and brass for his son, Richard Jr. The various touchmarks used by the Richard Lees are yet to be firmly attributed to father or son, since it is possible that they exchanged dies. The mark on the inside bottom of the basin, however, is believed to have been used primarily by Richard Lee Sr. Although fairly rare survivals today, basins, like plates, were sometimes termed "sadware," indicating that they were one-piece vessels of mediocre alloy cast in two-part molds and sold by the pound. The Lees made many small porringers that may have been used as toys or wine tasters. The handle designs on Lee porringers are unusually varied, suggesting that they made their own handle molds of soapstone rather than brass and replaced them frequently. Especially noticeable on the example to the left is the linen mark inside the bowl at the handle joining, which is evidence that the handle was cast onto the finished body rather than cast as one. To cast a handle, molten metal was poured through a mold shaped to match the contours of the bowl exactly, while fabric-covered metal tongs held the bowl in place and prevented the hot metal from melting through the vessel's walls. An impression from the linen generally remained where the metal walls had softened.

Scouting the enemy: Jets having trouble with puck possession
If you've been watching the Stars for the past three seasons, you understand the importance of faceoff winning percentage.
If you don't start with the puck, then a lot of things can wrong. One, you either sit in your own end and let the goalie save you. Or two, you have to go get the puck and either take penalties or leave yourself exposed. Or three, you limit your offensive chances and your highly-skilled lineup doesn't get the scoring chances it needs.
Witness the 2013-14 Winnipeg Jets.
The Jets have a league-worst faceoff winning percentage of 37.6 percent. That feeds into them having the worst shot differential in the league of minus-11.3, which feeds into them handing out the most power play chances at 20 in four games, or five per game. That also feeds into them having the fewest shots on goal per game at 23.2., which means their very talented offensive players aren't getting the chances they need.
Winnipeg is 2-2 on the season and ranks 11th in goals per game at 3.25. It also isn't terrible in goals against at 3.00. However, anyone who has watched Kari Lehtonen the past few years knows exactly what Jets goalie Ondrej Pavelec is going through. He has faced the most shots in the league at 138, has been spectacular, and yet has pedestrian numbers with a 3.03 GAA and .913 save percentage.
It's an interesting study on puck possession, and one of the reasons the Stars have to keep improving their faceoffs, which are up to 51.2 percent (13th) in two games this year after finishing at 47.2 percent (27th) last season. It's not a big difference, but it's key to what the Stars hope to accomplish.
Now, if you witness the Stars' brief sample, simply winning faceoffs doesn't cure everything. They are minus-8.5 in shot differential and still have some work to do. But if they can take care of the puck possession part of the game, then the rest should follow.
The Jets struggled Thursday in Minnesota, and lost a 2-1 game. They were out-shot 30-15, and you have to trace that to the fact they were killed in the faceoff circle to the tune of 26 percent (16-of-61). Bryan Little won 1-of-20. Yikes.
Here's coach Claude Noel after the loss: "We don't start (with the puck) so we're always checking, chasing it down. Regardless of which end, we're always checking."
That's something the Stars will have to try to exploit tonight. Get the puck, keep the puck, and make the Jets chase, because they do have talent.
Here is the lineup they used last night:
Andrew Ladd-Bryan Little-Blake Wheeler
Devin Setoguchi-Mark Sceifele-Evander Kane
Eric Tangradi-Olli Jokinen-Michael Frolik
James Wright-Jim Slater-Matt Halischuk
Dustin Byfuglien-Tobias Enstrom
Grant Clitsome-Zach Bogosian
Mark Stuart-Jacob Trouba
Ondrej Pavelec
There's a chance they make some changes on the second night of a back-to-back, and could play Al Montoya in goal.
Evander Kane has an interesting stat line. The speedy winger leads the team in shots on goal (15), hits (19) and blocked shots (11). That's quite a triple crown there. He has a goal and two assists while playing 19:22.
