Well, you sure got a great response from the realtors. I see you are pre-approved so you don't need my help in that way, but maybe you want to know you are getting a great agent, by getting a third part referral from someone who has been working in the Phoenix market for 13 years.

(NOTE: I did NOT include any condos/townhomes in this search; just single-family detached homes)

Linda Willits had been feeling under the weather last week while working with her husband Wes. She was told to go to the doctor but refused because she lacked health insurance. When she could no longer take the pain, she went to Mad River Hospital and found out she had breast cancer. She went home and died that night.
You can't help but wonder how long Linda had been feeling bad and just held off seeking medical treatment. Linda was tough lady who loved animals and the people she worked with. It is just so sad.
IF YOU HAVE NO INSURANCE, and have a medical condition you would like to be checked on, Mad River Hospital will see you! There are many changes coming soon with the government stimulus money that may affect your status. Contact Theresa Gonzalez at 825-4932 to have her explain Medi-Cal, Medi Care, third party funding options and if needed, a very liberal payment service. This is a free information service provided by Mad River Hospital. So there are options. If you are sick, please seek attention!
Mad River Hospital is a locally owned facility.

If 2012 was the campaign of the super PAC, 2013 is shaping up to prove the maxim that there's an unceasing appetite for groups to spend money in politics. But there's one power player that's lying low in the off year: Karl Rove's American Crossroads. Even with the influx of outside cash, the granddaddy of all super PACs hasn't spent a dime on campaign activity this year.
At a time when growing numbers of GOP strategists believe that (very) early engagement against opponents is preferable to a last-minute blitz, Crossroads' passivity stands out. Crossroads hasn't spent any money to soften up Democratic senators in trouble next year. At this point in 2011, they spent early money to hit Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri and former Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska. There's no similar ad blitz being planned to soften up vulnerable Democrats in 2014.
Indeed, the group has held its fire since starting off the year on a controversial note. Soon after the 2012 elections, American Crossroads launched the Conservative Victory Project, a spinoff group designed to prevent weak candidates from emerging in big Senate races. It immediately drew harsh criticism from grassroots conservatives, and hasn't been heard from since February. Meanwhile, the party still faces the very real threat of a Todd Akin-like candidate emerging in ruby-red Georgia, and GOP recruiting in the traditional battleground states has lagged.
Meanwhile, the group drew fire from Republicans when it stayed out of this year's high-profile Massachusetts Senate race, declining to assist the party's Hispanic nominee whose campaign was badly outspent by Democratic outside groups. Based on its polling, Crossroads didn't think the race was winnable, and didn't want to start off the year with an expensive defeat. But it was also a leap to assume Gabriel Gomez couldn't win without giving him the resources to get his message out.
It's in stark contrast to the flurry of early political activity around them, where money from other outside groups is being spent with abandon. On the left, the League of Conservation Voters already dished out $2 million this summer against Republicans, hitting Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, who's not even on the ballot until 2016, along with other vulnerable representatives. The Democratic House Majority super PAC spent big against South Carolina's Mark Sanford, while its Senate counterpart helped Edward Markey win the vacant seat in Massachusetts.
On the right, the Senate Conservatives Fund has been irritating Republican senators with a slew of radio ads urging them to defund Obamacare. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, facing a challenging reelection, even has his own super PAC attacking his opposition.
And independent New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is continuing to spend big bucks attacking gun-supporting politicos. Last month, he spent $350,000 to back two Democratic Colorado state senators, both of whom lost recalls this month for supporting gun-control legislation in their state.
Several factors are contributing to American Crossroads' lower profile this year. Donations to the super PAC are down in the off year. Through the first six months of 2013, it raised $1.86 million. During the same period in 2011, it raised $3.93 million. After Mitt Romney's defeat and losing 11 of 13 Senate races it spent money on in 2012, big donors are less willing to pony up.
The emergence of state- and race-based super PACs is also playing a role in diverting money and focus away from American Crossroads. Crossroads President Steven Law, a former McConnell chief of staff, is on the board of the Kentuckians for Strong Leadership super PAC, which has already been up with ads against McConnell's Democratic opponent Alison Lundergan Grimes. The Americans for Progressive Action super PAC emerged to help Gomez in the Massachusetts Senate special election, though it lacked the firepower of the opposition.
"Consultants are trying to be entrepreneurial, by design. They want advisers who have state-specific, candidate-specific expertise," said one Republican super PAC strategist.
America Rising, the GOP's opposition research and rapid response start-up, is also laying the groundwork for future attack ads, diminishing the need for early engagement. With resources devoted to research and tracking, they've been able to generate unfavorable news coverage for Democratic candidates at a lower cost than expensive TV buys. Republicans now view different groups filling different roles as a more efficient allocation of party resources than a one-size-fits-all super PAC.
"From our perspective, when we engage, we have a long-term sustained strategy we're pursuing rather than spending $80,000 in March of the off year. Early spending is important but it needs to be sustained as part of a longer-term strategy," said Crossroads' Law. "These short-term skirmishes are more designed for a brief impact, and to generate fundraising, and brand positioning. That's something we never have done much of."
So far this year, the group spent its time focused on policy over politics, launching small, six-figure publicity campaigns against Obamacare and persuading skeptical Republicans to support comprehensive immigration reform. That shift fell short, with immigration all but dead in Congress and Republicans divided on tactics on battling the president's unpopular health care law. Rove, the group's founder, has become deeply distrusted by some conservative activists, who view him as the face of the dreaded establishment.
American Crossroads sources said they haven't begun raising money in earnest for the new cycle; their fundraising efforts are ramping up this fall. Law said the group still expects to spend about $100 million on the 2014 midterms, around the same amount that went toward congressional races in the 2012 elections.
But even with an imposing budget, it's striking to see how much more competition the group now faces — with donors, within Republican ranks and in the wider super PAC world. In GOP circles, having a clear and coordinated message is now seen as more important than spending huge sums of money. Indeed, the Senate battleground landscape next year is filled with races in small states — Alaska, Arkansas, Louisiana, among them — where it doesn't take that much money to saturate the airwaves with negative ads. The bar for entry is much lower than in the past, inviting much more ideologically-driven competition.
Crossroads helped fashion the current campaign finance landscape, and the group will play a pivotal role in 2014, with control of the Senate up for grabs. But if Republicans fall short again, it could easily find itself displaced in a rapidly evolving and growing world of well-funded outside groups.

Newt Gringrich is actively positioning himself as a possible VP nominee for Donald Trump, according to National Review. After a New York Times piece mentioned him as a possible running mate, he said, "It is an honor to be mentioned. We need a new Contract with America to outline a 100-day plan to take back Washington from the lobbyists, bureaucrats, unions, and leftists. After helping in 1980 with Reagan and 1995 as speaker I know we have to move boldly and decisively before the election results wear off and the establishment starts fighting us. That is my focus." Meanwhile, Trump told CNN he'd be "interested in vetting" John Kasich as well.
"House Democrats are stepping up pressure on Republicans to advance legislation addressing Puerto Rico's worsening debt crisis by issuing a report arguing that austerity cuts can't be sustained and have made the island more vulnerable to the mosquito-borne Zika virus." Democrats on the House Natural Resources Committee released a report yesterday that argued "further sharp reductions in government spending can't be a part of a legislative solution"—especially with a rainy season boosting the mosquito population and stressing an island health system already struggling to deal with the Zika virus.
"ISIS has the capability to stage a Paris-style attack in the U.S. using local cells to strike in multiple locations and inflict dozens of casualties, according to the Obama administration's top U.S. intelligence official." Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told CNN's Peter Bergen that such a scenario is "something we worry about a lot in the United States, that they could conjure up a raid like they did in Paris or Brussels."

Exploding odes
Well, with temperatures peaking around 108 degrees, we weren't sure we'd survive the weekend. But if we were going to spontaneously combust, we could hardly ask for a better send-off than Explosions in the Sky's inaugural Nashville show last Wednesday evening at the Ryman. Even if we had to suffer through Zammuto to get to them.
As far as we can tell, opener Zammuto is the new thing by the guy from The Books, a band we dimly recall pretending to understand in high school in an ultimately failed attempt to impress girls who liked Belle and Sebastian and read Ghost World. Not unlike those of their predecessors, Zammuto's songs are defiantly progressive, filled with glitchy electro-twiddling and drone-drenched guitars. The key difference between the two bands is that while The Books sounded a lot like listening to a shortwave radio at the end of the world, Zammuto actually sounds like a band. The problem is that band is incredibly boring. As cleverly warped as Zammuto's songs are on record, their real-life counterparts sound more like jam-band Frank Zappa distilled through a Primus record, and there is no part of that sentence that doesn't cause us to recoil. We tried to distract ourselves with the projector onstage, but the visuals made us feel like we had been tricked into a Tim and Eric sketch.
The last time we tried to catch Explosions in the Sky at the Ryman, they were slated to open for Smashing Pumpkins during the latter's 2007 reunion tour. When the date was rescheduled due to Jimmy Chamberlain's heart troubles, EITS dropped off the bill and we were stuck with an awkward alterna-rock set delivered by Billy Corgan (sans cape, thank God). Five years of anticipation is a hell of a thing, but Explosions rose to the occasion admirably. From the opening chord of "First Breath After Coma" to the decrescendo of "The Only Moment We Were Alone," we were utterly transfixed. As often as rock bands don't work at the Ryman (and we've seen plenty of great indie rockers flounder there), watching Explosions in the Sky felt like being at the symphony. The temptation to dip into jam bandery must be pretty high in instrumental music, but to their credit, EITS played their set completely by the numbers. Not once did they stray into self-indulgent soloing, and we're eternally thankful for that.
The only problem was that, frankly, Explosions in the Sky isn't exactly the most interesting band to look at. Tightly clustered together, Explosions had the sparsest stage presentation we've ever seen for a headliner at the Ryman. One can only assume that it's a statement about their identity as a band, but damn dudes. For a group as cinematic as EITS, it's surprising they don't do something visual. You don't have to bring along a film projectionist like Godspeed You! Black Emperor, but you could at least Netflix an episode of Friday Night Lights or something.
What the band lacked in visual excitement, the crowd made up for by waging the eternal "rock show at the Ryman" battle for the entire show. One guy asking people to stand, someone else yelling, "SIT THE FUCK DOWN!" from the back of the room. Most of the standers complied ... except for one. One dude, who looked like he and Explosions bassist Michael James had been separated at birth, stood for most of the show, rocking the fuck out in total defiance of the complainers in the back. He wasn't obnoxious or sloppy, he just wanted to enjoy this crazy-loud spectacle like you're supposed to — standing up, pumping your fist, banging your head.
After nine songs, clocking in at just under an hour and 15 minutes, Explosions bade farewell and sent us home earlier than we're accustomed to. As much as we would've liked an encore, we get it. This is a band that is so dependent on momentum that it would probably be more trouble than it's worth to come back out. Still, after playing four songs off The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place, couldn't they have rounded it out with the fifth? We were so close! Ah well. Next time, dudes.
In the immortal words of Sen Dog and B-Real, "When the shit goes down, you better be ready!" And by Jehovah, we were! By the time we arrived at The Zombie Shop for a not-quite-a-surprise show by Bombino — an African Tuareg nomad and possibly the best guitarist on earth — last Thursday, we had a disco nap under our belts, a sixer in our hands and a whole bunch of Gold Bond in our shoes. Yes, when things get hot, The Spin puts Gold Bond in our shoes.
We started our night early. Like, "Oh look, the bands are still loading in!" early. But that was cool, because it meant we got to drink half our sixer before hilarious joke-along Southern rockers Ri¢hie — who were pulling double duty as Zombie Shop opener and FooBar closer Thursday night — were done with their set of rockin' weirdness and Gravitron-ride homages. By the time fellow Spin faves Heavy Cream were done, we had finished that sixer, excreted that sixer and were pumped on some punk motherfucking rock.
And then it was time for the main event! The Spin had missed Bombino when he was in town to play the VFW a couple of months ago, so when we got word that not only had he been in town cutting a record with The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach, but also that he and his band of nomadic badasses would be playing at our favorite DIY venue ... well, we weren't gonna miss it for anything. And you know what? It was amazing. The Spin let our sweaty shock of hair down and got lost in the sound (in a way that usually takes a fistful of hallucinogens), zoning and droning out to killer tracks from Bombino's insta-classic album Agadez as well as new songs. Oh, and Auerbach showed up to throw down. It might have been our favorite Auerbach appearance since we randomly walked into the Thickfreakness tour years and years ago. Just sayin'.
And since we're on a nostalgic trip, we're just gonna come out and say it: This might have been our favorite blues show since T-Model Ford played at the Slowbar. Damn, that was forever and a day ago. Then again, magical music of this variety doesn't really come along very often. We do, however, have the sneaking suspicion that this might become a regular thing — it looks like the whole world is going to get the chance to revel in this dude's sublime six-string abilities, because, oh yeah, he just worked with one of the world's biggest rock stars. While rock stars aren't always our thing, if they're going to make records with our favorite artists from obscure corners of the globe, then we are all aboard.
Bombino's band is the sort of high-precision, high-potency outfit that music critics dream about — the drums propulsive and dynamic, the bass so deep in the pocket that it might as well be coming from another galaxy, the rhythm guitar as solid as a neutron star. And when the intensely melodic and insanely prodigious guitar playing of Bombino himself weaves in, you've got one of the most entrancing, alluring and downright stupefying sets you'll hear all summer — we spent our night split between getting lost in the sound and staring slack-jawed at the dude, trying to figure out exactly what was going on with his fingers. Sounds like that don't happen very often in our world — even in a town full of guitar players — and seeing a master of his art form operate with such ease made for a perfectly surreal, sublime, sweaty night.

Observations on Costs, Strengths, and Limitations of U.S. and UN Operations
GAO-07-998T: Published: Jun 13, 2007. Publicly Released: Jun 13, 2007.
Additional Materials:

(202) 512-8979
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
As of June 2007, more than 100,000 military and civilian personnel are engaged in United Nations (UN) peacekeeping operations in 15 locations in Africa, Europe, Asia, the Americas, and the Middle East. In 2006, the United States provided the UN with about $1 billion to support peacekeeping operations. Given that thousands of U.S. troops are intensively deployed in combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, UN peacekeeping operations are an important element in maintaining a secure international environment. As requested, this testimony discusses (1) the costs of the current UN mission in Haiti compared with the estimated cost of a hypothetical U.S. operation and (2) the strengths and limitations of the United States and the UN in leading peace operations. This testimony is based on our prior report and information we updated for this hearing. To estimate U.S. costs, we developed parameters for a U.S. mission similar to the UN mission in Haiti, which the Joint Staff validated as reasonable. We then applied DOD's official cost estimating model. However, it is uncertain whether the United States would implement an operation in Haiti in the same way as the UN.
We estimate that it would cost the United States about twice as much as it would the UN to conduct a peacekeeping operation similar to the UN mission in Haiti. The UN budgeted $428 million for the first 14 months of the mission. A similar U.S. operation would have cost an estimated $876 million. Virtually the entire cost difference can be attributed to cost of civilian police, military pay and support, and facilities. First, civilian police costs are less in a UN operation because the UN pays police a standard daily allowance, while U.S. police are given salaries, special pay, and training. Second, U.S. military pay and support reflect higher salaries and higher standards for equipment, ammunition, and rations. Third, U.S. facilities-related costs would be twice those of the UN and reflect the cost of posting U.S. civilian personnel in a secure embassy compound. When we varied specific factors, such as increasing the number of reserve troops deployed, the estimated cost for a U.S. operation increased. Cost is not the sole factor in determining whether the United States or the UN should lead a peacekeeping operation. Each offers strengths and limitations. Traditionally, the United States' strengths have included rapid deployment, strong command and control, and well-trained and equipped personnel. However, ongoing operations in Iraq and Afghanistan have reduced personnel and equipment readiness levels and resulted in shortfalls for military police, engineers, and civil affairs experts. The UN provides broad multinational support for its missions, with a UN Security Council mandate and direction for its operations. The UN also has access to international civil servants, police, and senior officials who have nation-building experience and diverse language skills. Finally, the UN has fostered a network of agencies and development banks to coordinate international assistance with peacekeeping missions. However, the UN has traditionally had difficulties in rapidly deploying its forces and ensuring unified command and control over its peacekeeping forces.

IT Careers
DHS CIO Richard Spires believes IT can revolutionize government. (DHS image)
Outdated IT skills can be a liability for federal employees, according to speakers at a recent event that was part of the Association for Federal Information Resources Management's speaker series. But, they said, managers would rather help employees update their skills than lose talented workers.
The speakers, including Department of Homeland Security CIO Richard Spires and General Services Administration CIO Casey Coleman, spoke with enthusiasm about the influence of technology on the government's operations.
"I believe IT can impact this government more than anything else we do," said Spires. "There is no doubt we can have a transformational impact if we do this right."
Lisa Schlosser, Deputy CIO of the Office of Management and Budget, was another speaker at the event, held Nov. 14, and Tom Temin of Federal News Radio moderated.
Spires said his agency is in the midst of migrating 200,000 e-mail accounts to the cloud – joining at least one million federal e-mail accounts already there – and talked up DHS' Development and Test service, which establishes on-demand testing and application management tools. He called it a "game-changer," saying that even though it just rolled out, it's already saved DHS $12 million.
Spires said the DHS has taken a "very aggressive" approach in implementing PortfolioStat and following the OMB's lead on the Digital Government Strategy, but he agreed with Schlosser and Coleman that it has not been easy.
"This stuff is hard," Spires said. "Not just technically, but organizationally, culturally – there are barriers we need to break through. We're making good progress in many areas. Now, in time of austerity, is the time to run and make this happen."
Schlosser said the OMB will continue to focus on mobile solutions and Web-identity management, and said the next "innovation of cloud" will be "looking at information systems."
Coleman said GSA's cloud utilization will save millions of dollars over traditional e-mail systems and said the agency has a "continuity and agility" it didn't possess before.
But then, when Coleman described the challenge of managing the agency's legacy systems, a member of the audience asked how managers should handle employees whose jobs aren't needed anymore – like people who managed e-mail servers.
"We're not looking to push anyone out the door who is capable," Spires said. While the agency may not need the outdated skills anymore, talented people can be retrained, he said.
"We need this pressure down through the ranks to drive this change because we will never get close to the productivity you see in the private sector under the heterogeneous model we use now," he said.

The West Bank and Gaza are disputed territories, all right, but not because Israel acquired them in a defensive war. What an idiot! He's buying into the Arab narrative that has so successfully won over a large part of the world community! This land belonged to ISRAEL when Israel declared independence and Britain ended the Mandate. Jordan's and Egypt's offensive war was an illegal act under all international law, and the "border" that resulted after open hostilities ceased was also illegal. I don't know whether international law would have allowed Israel to take that territory back unilaterally, but Israel didn't have to cross that bridge. Those countries started ANOTHER offensive war, and as a result, Israel RECOVERED its own territory. There is no sovereign nation that has a claim to those lands other than Israel. Now this is all fact and is all legally justifiable, but that does not stop it from being disputed, as Saeb Erakat keeps reminding us. The "1967 border" between Israel and Jordan runs along the Jordan River, not through the hills of central Israel. Ayalon is right to reject the use of that term. "Occupied territory" is what the West Bank was between 1949 and 1967 only. Ayalon is legally correct in rejecting that term, too. Erakat may be incensed that acquiring territory by an offensive war is illegal and deplorable, but he is cleverly turning the facts around. Jordan's acquisition was illegal and deplorable. Israel's recovery of that same ground was legal and justifiable. Erakat's passionate rage is calculated. Rather than direct that rage at Israel for taking back its own territory, he should focus it on those settlers who have built without permits, or built on land that belonged to someone else. But settlements on government land? Nothing illegal about that as long as the government agrees. Why is Ayalon a fool? Because this is NOTHING LIKE the Spanish Sahara. Rather, it is like Czechoslovakia getting the Sudetenland back after WW2. You can't effectively counter the Arab narrative with such nonsense - you have to beat it with law and facts.

Heather Turner (Columbia, SC), 9/15/2015
I ordered these as part of my favors for my wedding and absolutely loved them when they came in. It was really easy to open the pretty boxes they came in, place the sticker on them, and put them back in the box. There was a shipping mixup where they were sent back due to missing a suite number on the address (my fault), however, once the address was corrected they were reshipped and still arrived in time for the wedding. Would recommend these to others!
Wine Stoppers 4
Aleeza (Pearland, TX), 8/13/2015
Good price and came in a timely manner. I thought the labels were going to be plastic but they were stickers you place on the wine stopper itself. Overall they served their purpose.
Perfect favor! 5
Ane (Jacksonville, FL), 8/11/2015
I just received my Wine Stopper Favors and loved them! They come already packed in a box with the white bow (as shown in the picture), very practical!!! Stickers are easy to stick, not a problem. Good service from nicepricefavors, they arrived fast, well packed. 100% satisfied!
Wine Stopper Stickers 1
Vanessa (Pinckney, MI), 7/26/2015
The wine stoppers come with stickers that you place on yourself. They send enough for one side, making them look extra cheap. I bought an extra sheet after receiving them to make it look less ridiculous. The stickers are cheap. If you bend the paper the tiniest bit, it puts a Shiite crease on the sticker label. I wouldn't wash the wine stopper at all because the sticker will peel off or get ruined. You get what you pay for, a cheap favor!

Cynthia (San Ysidro, CA), 12/12/2014
Very cute and they look fancy, definitely a perfect party favor. The stickers are not very nice they actually make the bottle stopper look cheap. I changed the sticker and they are perfect!
Stickers could be better 3
Noelle (Tustine, CA), 10/21/2014
While the wine stopper is of high quality, the stickers are not. They definitely look cheap as they are made of a dull paper. And because they are paper, I am really worried about washing the wine stopper with water as I'm sure it will ruin the paper sticker. I didn't catch that the stickers needed to be applied, so that was a bit of a surprise. Wish they would've called out that the sticker was paper and would need to be self applied in a more prominent way. Definitely would not have ordered these.

Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee says he felt bad for Denver quarterback Peyton Manning when he encountered him walking alone after the Seahawks trounced the Broncos 43-8 in the Super Bowl.
Inslee was leaving MetLife Stadium down a long hallway when he saw the quarterback.
"He's all alone. There was no entourage around him," Inslee told a luncheon on Thursday. "I wish I had a camera. It was like the picture of defeat — head down, slow. I felt bad for the guy.
"He gave it his all and he's obviously a tremendous competitor, and I've lost a few in my life, too," said Inslee, who was a starting quarterback in high school and often uses sports metaphors in his speeches. "So I just went up to him and introduced myself as the governor of the state of Washington and I shook his hand. And I said, 'I know this is a really tough game for you, but there will be others and hang in there,' because I kind of wanted to console him.

"He looked down at me like he was going to break me in half," Inslee said. "It was sort of like, 'Whatever, dude,' and he walked away. My therapy didn't work too well."
Inslee told the story Thursday at a luncheon for the state Association of Washington Business. It was about the only laugh the governor got from the audience, which was quieter than a library for much of his speech, which went over his priorities such as closing tax breaks to raise money for education and increasing the state minimum wage.

Rose Quartz Ring
Welcome to Novica's Rose Quartz Ring Collection! Please feel free to explore our rose quartz rings below:
Welcome to Novica's Rose Quartz Ring Collection! Please feel free to explore our rose quartz rings below:
"I am especially proud of my Jaipur line, which features gemstones inlaid upon unique designs that stylistically represent my beloved hometown."
Representing unity and eternity, the ring is traditionally associated with marriage and other important unions. It is said that all rings were once magical or sacred. Given their circular form, rings were considered objects of protection, a magical guard, or a talisman to ward off negativity through its continuity.
They have functioned as symbols of authority or social status across the ages, and signet rings were worn by kings and church leaders. Engagement rings are believed to be a legacy of the Romans, and birthstones are tied to the wearer's birth month.
Always lovely, rose quartz is believed to help ignite the flame of love. The clear pink stone is one of the most desirable varieties of quartz. It has been carved since early times and is often faceted when set in jewelry. Its milky aspect is attributed to the presence of tiny rutile needles within the stone.
An alternate birth stone for those born in January, rose quartz jewelry is a perennial favorite. Showcased alone in sterling silver or complementing an onyx bracelet or opal pendant, the stone is always beautiful. Novica is proud to present a Rose Quartz Ring Collection created by gifted artisans and jewelry designers around the planet. Our rose quartz rings feature principally sterling silver settings. Their styles include cocktail rings, solitaires, filigree rings and more. We hope you enjoy them!
