Required Reading for Real Estate Investors,
This review is from: What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know about Cash Flow... And 36 Other Key Financial Measures (Paperback)
Before you invest $1 into income-producing real estate, be sure to pick up a copy of Frank Gallinelli's excellent book, What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow...And 36 Other Key Financial Measures: Guidelines, Formulas, and Rules of Thumb for Making Money in Real Estate. While the title may sound somewhat forbidding, the book is so well-written and accessible that even novice investors who wouldn't know a cap rate from a rate of return can quickly and easily master key concepts such as present value, gross scheduled income and discounted cash flow. Better yet, Gallinelli offers free spreadsheets that you can download from his site that do the numbers-crunching for you. I like to think that I'm a pretty savvy investor, but, thanks to Frank and his amazing formulas, I narrowly avoided overpaying for a five-story office building in the Chelsea section of Manhattan. While there's no guarantee that the seller will accept my lower offer, I feel confident that, if I do get the deal, I will be paying a fair price now that Frank has taught me how to do the math.

Easy Funnel Cakes
Remember those delectable fried funnel cakes you used to get at the fair? Well, now you can make these Pennsylvania Dutch treats at home with our recipe for Easy Funnel Cakes.
Serves: 9
Cooking Time: 15 min
What You'll Need:
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Oil for frying
Confectioners' sugar for sprinkling
What To Do:
1. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; mix well.
2. In a medium bowl, beat eggs, milk, and vanilla until well blended. Add to flour mixture and beat until smooth.
3. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, heat 1-inch of oil until hot, but not smoking.
4. Holding a finger over bottom of a funnel with a 5/8-inch opening, pour 1/2 cup of batter into funnel. Drizzle batter into hot oil, swirling it in circles from center outward. Fry until golden, turning once. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar; serve warm.

Simple: Don't use it!
I never leave the one on my .380CC in the "safe" postion; it's too small and stiff to toggle off in a SHTF situation. With the double action first pull, it's as safe as carrying a DAO revolver, IMO. You really have to pull that trigger to make it discharge. Why fool around with a safety that isn't really needed?

Distance Education in Agricultural Economics: Perceptions of Department Heads
Jensen, Kim, English, Burton, Clark, Christopher, Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics
Heads of agricultural economics and agribusiness departments across the United States are surveyed to develop an inventory of distance education (DE) offerings by their departments. Perceived challenges, strategies for use, and future plans for DE are assessed. While the majority of the responding departments offer DE, the department heads believed that faculty time costs to develop/deliver DE are high relative to traditional delivery and that both strategic plans for implementing DE and financial incentives for faculty to adopt DE are lacking. The department heads did, however, have positive views about the technological ability of students to use distance courses.
Key Words: distance education
JEL Classifications: A2-Economics Education and Teaching of Economics
Introduction and Objectives
The development of distance education (DE), has, in large part, been driven by advances in communication technologies, that is, radio, television, and the Internet. These technological advances have prompted wildly enthusiastic predictions of both growth in distance education and fundamental changes in the nature of higher education. An overview of distance education development can be found in Barkley. To date, these technological changes have proven more evolutionary than revolutionary (Barkley; Moore 1997, 2003). However, each successive advance brings DE that much closer to being able to replicate the instructional methods traditionally employed in on-campus courses. The distinction between DE and on-campus instruction has also been blurred by the use of technological advances associated with the Internet in on-campus courses, primarily through asynchronous communication and online delivery of instructional material (Dahlgran; Howell, Williams, and Lindsay). In any event, the broad-based appeal of these new technologies is expected to increase demand for DE not only among its traditional clientele, that is, place-bound adult students, but also among on-campus students. The advantage of DE to traditional students lies primarily in increased convenience, as DE is now directed not only at students distanced by geography but also at those distanced by time.
The objective of this study is to provide a snapshot of the increased role of DE within agricultural economics departments. More specifically, this study develops an inventory of DE offerings by agricultural economics and/or agribusiness departments across the United States, measures perceived challenges to offering DE, assesses strategies for use, and ascertains departments' plans for future DE offerings. The role of DE across the spectrum of undergraduate courses, graduate courses, and extension programs is also analyzed. To obtain information required for the study, heads of agricultural economics and/or agribusiness departments across the United States were surveyed by mail to obtain their percep- tions of the types of distance offerings, including course topics and levels; the primary users of the department's distance materials; whether any distance offerings have been dropped and why; plans for future distance offerings; the adequacy of financial resources and technical support for distance offerings; faculty perceptions of DE and reward systems for authoring and offering distance materials; student or user learning through distance formats; and departmental strategies for using DE. However, prior to discussing the implementation of and responses to this survey, some background on DE is provided, including a review of relevant research.
Previous DE Research
DE has been defined as "institution-based, formal education where the learning group is separated, and where interactive telecommunication systems are used to connect learners, resources, and instructors" (Keegan). While the origins of DE can be traced back to the early 180Os, the nation's colleges and universities did not begin offering DE until the advent of the rural mail delivery system in the late 180Os. …

When I'm right I'm always wrong
Beneath the wise
Rolling through the way
Further my luck tries to be the same
When I'm wrong I'm almost right
To breathe the miles
Coming through the haze
Still like I thought
I don't speak the tongues
Of finds within a life
Dying for a save
Stop on gets on my
I got buried with my
Try from the start
Romance to the grave
And in your house you built to
Fail through all the eyes
Wanting what to say
Followed by keep on
And this might be the last of lied
Inside your lock
Only you can break
For all these times never mind
'Cause when your right you're never wrong
To reach the high
Low for you to wait
Fall on days
I don't lived for all that died
I just wanna feel it again, again

From Broadway's "Rent" to the silver screen's "How Stella Got Her Groove Back" to TV's "Private Practice," actor Scott Leo "Taye" Diggs has entertained and strutted his way into the hearts of viewers.
Those hearts broke a little with the news last year of his separation from Idina Menzel, his wife of 10 years. They have one son.
Taye is an abbreviation of Scottaye, which is what friends called him. The 43 year-old is now starring in TNT's original series "Murder in the First," which premieres Monday, June 9, at 10 p.m.

A: Yes, I did find something special and it doesn't have necessarily anything to do with its success. It is more to do with my interest and my desire to participate. As an actor in this game, not knowing the future kind of goes with the territory. You jump in with both feet and hope for the best. I'm just thankful for the opportunities that I have had to have the chance to play another cop, and an ER doctor, you know all these different kinds of characters just get added to the list. And this kind of new, exciting perspective of one case that spans the entire season.
Q: Your mom was a teacher — did she ever worry about you getting into a field that is so fickle as far as constant employment? Did she want you to have a backup career?
A: I don't remember. I am in the process of writing a lot of personal stories down. So that is something I will actually ask my mother for this memoir. I know that I caught the bug from her. When she wasn't working she was in community theater and also ended up going back to school for theater and dance so I attribute it to her and being around that vibe. That ensemble vibe is what attracted me to the stage. So she was always very encouraging. I don't remember her ever saying "Maybe you should have a backup plan." Maybe she saw I was talented enough at an early age and I wouldn't need one. I don't know if she didn't want to mess with my own confidence. As soon as I knew I wanted to do this when I was young. Whether it was overconfidence or cockiness, I knew this is what I was going to be doing for the rest of my life. I got lucky I suppose.
Q: That's a good point. A parent, even with the best intentions, could derail your confidence by suggesting you need a plan B.
A: Yeah, yeah. I have a son, he's only 4, and he is already an amazing performer and the last thing I want him to do is be a performer. (Laughing) So at this point I am trying to cobble together some way of kind of exposing him to everything and hoping he'll choose a different line of work.
Q: Why wouldn't you want him in the business? You have been successful and seen the best of it.
A: It's just that when you have a kid you want the best for your kid and even though I have been quote unquote successful there is still a lot of heartbreak. It's still very — you know, you end up having to make yourself very vulnerable. I would never, ever want anyone to tell my son he wasn't an amazing kid. I think I would take it harder than he would. Even me, I had it so easy, but my coming up through the ranks — there were some real letdowns.

Ramo will re-sign with the Calgary Flames, source says
Hearing that the Oilers have kicked the tires on UFA goalies Ramo and Neuvirth... but I think Ramo more likely to re-sign with Flames
TSN "Goaltender Karri Ramo has reportedly re-signed with the Calgary Flames. According to TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun, a source says the netminder will return to Calgary after posting a 15-9-3 record with a .912 save percentage and a 2.60 goals-against average with two shutouts in 34 games last..." July 01
Pro Hockey Talk "Calgary goalie Karri Ramo hurt his knee on Saturday against Minnesota and will be out until after the Olympic break — in a corresponding move, the Flames called up Joni Ortio from AHL Abbotsford on Monday. Ramo, 27, has been splitting time as Calgary's No. 1 with Reto Berra this season but..." February 03
Calgary Sun "After waiting patiently for 22 days between starts, Karri Ramo has now backstopped the Calgary Flames to two wins in a row. But it's the long-term plan that's more important. Back-to-back wins over the Los Angeles Kings, a 21-save effort, and the Phoenix Coyotes, an even more impressive..." December 07
Calgary Herald "Talk about rotten luck. The final shot of the morning skate — propelled by none other than seventh defenceman Chris Breen — catches Karri Ramo on the knee. After writhing on the ice "like a snake," according to coach Bob Hartley, the Calgary Flames goalie gets up and goes directly to the..." December 01
Karri Ramo is good to go. He got struck by a puck in the leg. Hartley called it a stinger. Ramo still starts.
Calgary Sun "The No. 1 netminder job for the Calgary Flames wasn't going to just be handed to Karri Ramo. He had to earn it. Mission accomplished. Ramo the former Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender won't likely replace the retired Miikka Kiprusoff in the hearts of Flames fans but looks to be the man..." September 24

The fallacy here is the implication that any given Fedora spin is equivalent to an unqualified "Fedora". Besides that, empirically, this just isn't true, I think it's detrimental to the project to completely abdicate content definition to the user. This isn't just about having an "I don't care, pick one" button, it's about making sure that the thing you get when clicking that button is both consistent year to year and the best experience we can offer.

Should I CISSP certify to be well-rounded or specialize in Checkpoint?
Is it better to be well-rounded or have a specialty? Tittel helps you decide between CISSP certification and specializing in Checkpoint in this expert response.

certifications or to study for the CISSP for a more rounded security cert. Can you offer any advice?
Dear Sir or Madam:
A wise man once told me that the answer to any good question always begins with the same two words—namely: "That depends…" In your situation whether you stay the Checkpoint course and pursue advanced credentials from that company, or move over to the more general and flexible CISSP depends on where you are now, what you like to do, and what you want to do for the next 6-10 years at work. If you want to stay in a position where you work regularly with CheckPoint tools and systems, advancing your skills and knowledge through more advanced certifications will probably be just the ticket. But if you want to move into a more general information security role, perhaps in a different job at the same employer, or as a security consultant to other companies, the CISSP is probably a better all-around credential to help you go down that road.
If I've missed other important options or possibilities that you'd like to chew on further, please post again, and follow up with some more specific questions. As it is, I hope I've managed to address your primary concerns, and have provided the information you seek.

My Brother MFC-J410W Scanner/Printer used to work fine with my MacBook Pro for both scanning and printing. Originally, the printer was detected automatically by OSX (Snow Leopard) with no special setup.
Recently, I am no longer able to scan, and I can print only by setting up the printer manually (using its IP address).
I'll appreciate any troubleshooting tips, specifically - how can I tell whether the problem is in the printer, in my Macbook or in the wireless router?

Donepezil is used to treat confusion (dementia) related to Alzheimer's disease. It does not cure Alzheimer's disease, but it may improve memory, awareness, and the ability to function. This medication is an enzyme blocker that works by restoring the balance of natural substances (neurotransmitters) in the brain.
How To Use
Read the Patient Information Leaflet if available from your pharmacist before you start taking donepezil and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Do not remove the tablet from its pouch until you are ready to take it. Dry your hands before handling the medication. Open the pouch and peel back the foil layer. Do not push the tablet through the foil because it may get damaged. Place the dose in your mouth where it will quickly dissolve. After the tablet dissolves completely, drink a glass of water.
Take this medication with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually just before bedtime. If you experience sleep problems (insomnia), talk to your doctor about switching to a morning dose.
Dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. To reduce your risk of side effects (such as nausea and diarrhea), your doctor will start this medication at a low dose and gradually increase your dose over weeks to months. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully. Do not increase your dose or use this drug more often than prescribed.
If you do not take donepezil for 7 or more days in a row, talk with your doctor before starting again. You may need to start at a lower dose.
Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day. Do not stop taking it unless your doctor instructs you to do so. It may take several weeks before you get the full benefit of this drug.
Tell your doctor if your condition worsens.

What's Levin think of Newt?

Live Thread - NBC News/Tampa Bay Times GOP debate tonight on NBC
Hey, TN!
You'll have to listen to find out.
Another debate?? Oh for the love of Elvis, I wish those guys would have a heart!
Hidy Ho Neighbor
Perhaps their goal is to desensitize the general public, so when it comes time to debate the Idiotinchief...no one will care, or tune in?
Hiya! Always good to see you!
Im thinking if Newt gets to debate the Idiot...if they put it on pay per view...we could make a serious dent in the National debt! :-)
with any luck, it will be Santorum debating the coward in chief
I think Santorum would do an admirable job in the debates. If that is why people are so crazy for Newt it is a mistake. Typically the debates aren't watched by that many. They'll just call anything Newt slings at Obama racist or mean spirited. As a matter of fact isn't Newt the one who inspired the term mean-spirited???
The debates are becoming more like sporting events, good grief!
Drive by greetings Fuddie.
I don't watch them. Waste of time. It's like American Idol already; call me when the second best person wins.
I don't watch them. Waste of time. It's like American Idol already; call me when the second best person wins.
I am tiring of the debates too...in that they all seem to do all in their power to avoid talking about Obama! Good grief...you would think at least one of the condidates would get a clue! (Or at least READ FREE REPUBLIC!)
Hes The Anti-0b@m@ dog!
Last week I listened to all 144 episodes of "Left Behind" - it is a truly wonderful series and I strongly recommend them.
Evening, Magster.
Thank you BG
After his actions this last week or so, I have a hunch that Newt (or somebody on his staff) is listening in.
Only problem I have is that he's not smackin' the MSM quite as hard as I would.......if I could find some Mk82's.
Your welcome!
Thanks to Levinite and FReeper cleveland gop for transcription
Evening, Un.
Hi :-) Always good to see you on the thread!! (and...any new pics you might have of Ike (HINT) ;-)
Is that on Netflix?
Just now got here!
LOL Obama's state of confusion Castro like speech
Hi BG! I was so happy to hear the voice of Jim Vicevich this morning on 1080 WTIC. I missed him so much. My prayers are with his health.
I was listening to the audio series from http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/left-behind-dramatic-audio/listen/
he is saying the people went against the GOP.It was very important to not let them shove the candidate down our throats even if you like him.
Can't do it from here. Son took a great s hot of Ike in aa hoodie.
PARAPHRASING LEVIN they wanted this thing done in Iowa.Santorum stopped them.In SC Gingrich stopped them.this is a process we all have not voted yet.He also just said whoever wins fla. does not mean they are the nominee.How could the media and GOP pick for us in a few states
Christie sounds like Barney Frank
quack quack
Ben received notification of his selection to Marine OSC. He'll go to Quantico six weeks this summer and next summer. If all goes well, he will commission upon graduation; then six months at Quantico; then mos school; then to the fleet.
Your governor is pissing me off.
IM smiling at the thought of Ike in a hoodie...
I am from MN...and facilitating our caucus...AND I have to admit, not only being in the state that gave us Jessie Ventura and Al Franken...but having been a state delegate for a few years now ....the Paul bots are and will be out in full force! I will be biting clean through my tongue at the caucus, so I dont "facilitate their arses right outta the building" ;-)

text: Illinois Fight over Fulton County Coal Mine Drags On By Scott Stuntz • Nov 25, 2013 SSS A judge is set to rule soon on whether the Illinois DNR made the right call in renewing a permit for proposed coal mine near Canton Lake in Fulton County. Flowing Fuels: New Pipeline Carries Oil, Brings Lawsuits By Jenna Dooley • Oct 9, 2013 Construction is underway on a new oil pipeline that will carry Canadian oil across several states. The line will begin in Illinois. In this report, you'll hear about the potential benefits and concerns with the project. Illinois Given Negative Credit Rating By Rich Egger • Dec 14, 2012 Rich Egger Moody's Investors Services downgraded the credit outlook for the state of Illinois from stable to negative. The service cited the "severe pension funding shortfall." Illinois Treasurer Dan Rutherford said Illinois has the worst credit rating of any state in the US. "If this doesn't get fixed, then I would hope that those out there that look for services of their Illinois government, to understand that there will be absolutely no ability to increase or even perhaps sustain their funding level," Rutherford said. Election Results 2012 By Rich Egger • Nov 6, 2012 Winners and referendum decisions in each race are signified by bold face type. West Central Illinois Election Results: Mayor Seeks Water Meter for Fire Department By James Lenz • Aug 3, 2012 Colchester Mayor Danny Bice would like to get a clearer picture of the city's water consumption. One step he would like to take is to install a water meter at the Colchester Fire protection District building. New Illini West High School Site Chosen By James Lenz • Aug 1, 2012 The Illini West School Board spent a year evaluating potential sites for a new high school. It chose a location next door. It is just east of the current high school's parking lot. The 40-acre site is farmland that is currently covered by tall, green and brown corn plants. Those who were hoping for a central location will be disappointed. But Superintendent Kim Schilson says such a location would come with some expensive problems to solve. Carthage Starts Water Conservation By James Lenz • Jul 26, 2012 Carthage is being pro-active by encouraging water conservation by a combination of mandatory and voluntary measures. Businesses are required to stop watering their lawns. Second-ward Alderman Gary Smith says the city is concerned since the level at the city's lake has fallen by five feet recently. He expects businesses will honor the ban. Smith says, "We've had good luck in the past and I think we'll probably not have any problem this time."Businesses that ignore the order could be subject to fines. Hunziker Storage Building Gets Reprieve By James Lenz • Jul 23, 2012 A storage building owned by Chad Hunziker will be spared destruction. The Macomb City Council removed it from a list of buildings slated for demolition. Alderman-at-large Don Wynn says Hunziker has made a lot of improvements to the building. He says, "I went out and looked at that building. And it's, from the outside of it, it's pretty secure. I mean, it's got a new roof on it (It) does have some problems." Fifth-ward Alderman Dave Dorsett says the progress must continue. Residents Vent at Public Meeting By James Lenz • Jul 10, 2012 Colchester residents say they won't be able to afford sewer rates of $50 per month. That's the maximum amount the city would have to charge if it has to finance the entire $4.2 million dollar cost of a sewer repair project that is being mandated by the federal EPA. The city held a public hearing as part of the grant application process. The city is hoping to qualify for at least $1.1 million from the USDA's Rural Development program. The application must be completed by July 15th. City to Hold Public Hearing on Sewer Rates By James Lenz • Jul 5, 2012 Residents of Colchester will get a chance to make their voices heard on sewer rate increases. The public hearing is Monday, July 9th, at 7 p.m. in city hall. They face sewer rates of between $40 and $50 per month to pay for repairs to the city's sanitary sewer system. The hikes are needed to bring the city into compliance with federal EPA regulations. Mayor Danny Bice hopes for a large turnout at the hearing. Hot Days in Store for Carthage Celebration By Jim Lenz • Jul 3, 2012 Carthage will take some extra measures to make sure festivities this week don't become "too hot." The city is expecting larger than usual crowds for the Independence Day celebration. This year the city is also marking the 175th anniversary of its founding. Temperatures will peak in the 90s for the rest of the week. Carol Carr is a member of the celebration committee. It will provide sites where people can escape the heat. City Turns to Aeration to Solve Water Woes By James Lenz • Jul 2, 2012 Carthage is trying a new solution to a persistent problem last year-water discoloration. The city's drinking water was never unsafe, just unsavory. It was frequently a dull green. The city liberally applied chemicals to the water with little effect. Second-ward Alderman Gary Smith says the three aerators will bubble air through the lake. The action will thoroughly mix the layers of water and reduce algae formation. He says, "This is kind of an ongoing process. It might take a year to get the lake rehabilitated." City and Union Continue to Disagree on New Position By James Lenz • Jun 25, 2012 A proposed administrative position in the Beardstown Police Department remains in limbo. The item was not on the last city council agenda. The city's Fire, Police and Ambulance Committee will try to find a resolution. The city council and police union agree on the need for a second shift supervisor. The parties disagree on the standing of the position. The city considers the position administrative and, hence, non-union. The police union wants the position covered under its contract with the city. Monmouth Lifts Ban on Video Gambling By James Lenz • Jun 18, 2012 Monmouth allowed the use of video gaming for "amusement purposes" only. That did not include gambling although the ordinance was difficult to enforce. The discussion was prompted by changes to state law that will allow video gaming this year. The proceeds will help pay for capital improvements. City Administrator Eric Hanson says the city council discussed keeping the ban in place. Carthage Residents Will Hear from City By James Lenz • Jun 18, 2012 Carthage residents will soon get a call from city hall. A new phone message system is being set up by city employees. Second-ward Alderman Gary Smith says the system has been very easy to set up. He says the contact numbers for water service customers are being used for the initial test. He says, "If we have a number that isn't one that they want called they can let us know. We're going to let residents use up to three numbers that they can have called. So a cell phone or home phone or whatever they want." Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 next › last »

okay... here's the plan...
submit your designs for the still-theoretical bf jersey project. a short list of no more than four designs will be selected by a jury of bf notables consisiting of koffee brown, lotek, ocp god 55/rad, joe [who runs the joint], msvicki, an australian, a canadian, a euro and an mtber to be named later [i'm open to suggestions]. we will then vote on the designs.
i realize that this is will come as a surprise to the jurors, but i figured that someone should get the ball rolling and, since i sometimes wear red shorts with a blue jersey, i should not be allowed to sit on the jury.
the design must follow these guidelines:
1. it must use only two colours in addition to white. this is for cost considerations.
2. it must be equally suitable for road and mtb downhill and bmx jerseys.
3. it must include a design for roadie shorts.
4. it must be completed and uploaded to this thread no later than july 8, 2005. the jury will deliberate for three days, and then a final poll will be held for four days.
the winner will receive a free bf jersey -- subsidized by all of us -- when we get these made.
please pm me nominations for the australian, canadian, euro and mtb members of the jury.

Help, I forgot my username and/or password
In January, the value of the Dubai mortgage market was down by 64%, compared to the same time last year. However, the number of actual mortgages only dropped by 4.3%. Shane McGinley reports.
In 2008, Dubai banks lent US$31bn in mortgages to property investors, a year-on-year increase of nearly 100%. In 2009, things have changed and liquidity and the mortgage market are the talk of the property industry.
Official figures from the Dubai Land Department show that in January 2009 the value of mortgages fell by 64% when compared to the same period last year, declining from US$1bn to US$379mn.
At the same time a report by Proleads Global found that 52.8% of construction projects in the UAE, worth US$582bn, have been put on hold. The report also observed that the rate at which projects are progressing has slowed down.
Real estate accounts for 84% of projects in the UAE, therefore the obvious slowdown in the mortgage market is having an immediate impact on the sector's growth.
The effects were felt quickly by the banks and as soon as November last year Lloyds TSB had stopped financing apartments. Later in the year, it reduced the number of staff in its mortgage department by 70%, blaming a decline in demand.
Amlak, the UAE's biggest lender, stopped lending altogether temporarily and Tamweel, its next biggest rival, cut its staff numbers by 57. Tamweel and Amlak are currently in merger talks and a decision is due soon on the outcome.
While the overall value of the mortgage market has slumped, a closer look at the figures show that people are still looking for mortgages and banks are still giving them.
The difference is that speculators looking to borrow millions and billions have disappeared from the market and have been replaced by everyday workers looking to buy a permanent home.
In 2009, this is most evident by the fact that the majority of mortgages granted have been in residentially focused developments such as Al Warqa Third, Emirates Hills Third and Arabian Ranches.
The highest mortgage so far this year, as of February 15th, was granted along Sheikh Zayed Road and was for US$35mn.
The death knoll for Dubai's speculators began in October last year says Ian Albert, regional director of Consultancy Services at Colliers International in Dubai.
Albert says that at the Burj Dubai, where prices are considerably higher than average, properties were becoming too expensive for the average end-user due to the level of speculation taking place.
"We saw banks withdrawing financing at certain levels in October as they were getting nervous at the rate of speculation in that development," says Albert.
In October, Cityscape Dubai saw many landmark projects, such as the 1km tall Nakheel Harbour and Tower, being launched onto the market. While the number of mortgages nearly doubled, jumping from 162 in October 2007 to 318, the monetary value dropped 18% from US$950mn to US$775bn.
By December, the number of mortgages was up again, by 38%, but again the overall value for the month was down by 48%. In February, the trend appears to be going in the same direction as developers, mortgage lenders and agents get used to the new era of the end-user.
Chris Green, director of Independent Finance, confirms their business is down by about 75%.
"There has been a drop, at one stage everyone was looking for a mortgage. Now those who are coming to us are serious buyers, they are typically family people who want to buy a place and live here. The other is the person who has a property and needs to raise some property. If it's not built, often they need to raise capital for the next payment for the developer."
Looking at the top five banks that Independent Finance highlights, it appears that the cost of credit between August 2008 and January 2009 has only risen by 3.58%.
"The most significant thing is that the cost of your mortgage over the period has seen the most significant amount of difference," states Green.
According to Green, if a person applied for a 25-year US$122,512 mortgage in January 2009 it would have been US$9,615 more expensive than the exact same one applied for in August 2008.
"The chances of getting one are much more difficult and the ultimate clients that banks want to see I don't think exist anymore and are few and far between. Every mortgage we work with there is a bit of deviation that needs to be done with the lenders," adds Green.
In January, Emirates NBD, the Middle East's largest bank, raised its minimum monthly salary limit for expatriates by 200% to US$6,806.
A poll by ArabianBusiness.com found that 41.6% of those surveyed believe rising minimum salary levels is dangerous and will contribute to the downturn of the UAE economy. However, somewhat surprisingly, 31.3% describe it as a prudent move.
Of the banks surveyed by Independent Finance, the minimum monthly salary required ranged from US$2,178 to US$5,444. UAE salaried nationals qualified at the lower end of the salary scales.
Colliers International report that 74% of properties mortgaged in Dubai are apartments, 10% are villas and 16% are townhouses. Green says that off-plan properties are virtually impossible to get finance for.
"If it's a completed property then they are very successful and the most successful are people who are buying a place to live in - those ones we walk through with all the time. If it is a non-resident there are few banks that will offer mortgages."
The type of industry the applicant works in is another key factor says Green and he reports that real estate and real estate related sectors, such as interior design and decorating, have been hardest hit.With credit at a minimum and financing tight how are high-level speculators coping in the current market? Amjad Hussain, a partner at Eversheds law firm in Doha, specialises in setting up real estate funds to aid clients buy assets in the Gulf and abroad.
He reports that he is currently helping set up a Sharia compliant fund for a Qatar bank and is advising Qatari investors who are investing in the Shard of Glass, which when complete will be the tallest building in London.
"In terms of funding we are seeing that projects have slowed down and the cost of financing has gone up as banks are repricing risk and are looking at the risk associated with local and expatriate investors," says Hussain.
He reports that clients are avoiding refinancing in the current market as the price of credit has increased and he has found that financiers are now keen to exit projects and this is creating problems for investors.
"Banks are looking to see if they can use any provision to try and exit from funding a project as market conditions change. They may call in a facility or withdraw from honouring any further finance," observes Hussain.
In February, in a bid to boost liquidity, Abu Dhabi moved to inject US$4.35bn into the Emirate's biggest banks. These including the National Bank of Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank, First Gulf Bank, Union National Bank and Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank.
Alexander von Pock, manager of Financial Services at consultants AT Kearney Middle East, believes that such drastic measures will become more common across the UAE.
"One measure that has been taken has been the merger of Tamweel and Amlak and putting it under the tutelage of the government. If you look outside the Middle East a lot of banks are being nationalised to some extent to insure they perform their basic function, which is to extend financing."
Bank bail outs have been common place across the globe and Hussain believes that a bailout for the banks is in some ways directly a bail out for the real estate sector.
"In Qatar the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) sovereign wealth fund is taking stakes in a number of banks so the idea is to prop up the banks and therefore inject money into the banking system, which feeds itself through to the customers and investors."
"Banks need to keep on lending or else their profits will stop so the worst thing that can happen is the banks stop doing business. If the government is investing in banks they are investing in mortgages, which equates to a bail out in my view."
UAE developers are obviously hoping that the mortgage market will get an injection of cash soon as in most cases their projects are funded by stage payments from investors, which are often dependent in turn on bank credit.
"Price 'cooling' and low transaction volume in Dubai is a fact, but a severe crash is unlikely if demand constraints in terms of buyer financing begins to ease," a spokesperson from the Dubai developer Deyaar says.
Developers have to be realistic about how the present market is performing and Deyaar reports that it has put in place a number of initiatives to reflect the changing mortgage and credit market.
They report that projects planned but unannounced will be held back; projects that have been sold but not started will be consolidated; payment plans will be adjusted in line with new construction schedules and the company is looking to assist customers in dealing with mortgage providers.
The latter has become a popular option for developers, especially in Abu Dhabi where mega developer Sorouh Real Estate PJSC signed an agreement with three banks to aid investors in The Gate Towers project.
The deal, with Aseel Finance, ADCB and RAKBANK, offers investors the potential of acquiring up to 90% mortgages.
"This linkup is to allow Sorouh to create a deeper and wider coverage of the mortgage options it can give its potential purchasers," says Gurjit Singh, chief property development Officer at Sorouh Real Estate PJSC.
Singh reports that this initiative has stimulated increased interest from potential investors and he believes that such arrangements will become common place in the future.
"Mortgage penetration has been slow throughout the Gulf and this has been because real estate was seen as a trading commodity and speculators thronged the market," adds Singh. With end-users recapturing the market, hopefully there will be a move back towards long-term less risk lending.
In December, Mizin announced that it partnered with Rakbank to offer its existing customers, who did not initially need credit, the option to avail of a mortgage facility to finance ongoing payments. The deal was in relation to Mizin's Remraam project.
As part of the deal, investors can take out a 25 year mortgage to cover remaining installments. Investors can clear up to 20% of the mortgage each year and, should they sell the property within the lifetime of the mortgage, there is a 1% charge on the outstanding balance.
Direct links between financial institutions and real estate developers have long been common place in the UAE. The major shareholders in mortgage lenders Amlak and Tamweel are Emaar Properties and Dubai World respectively.
In November last year, Abu Dhabi Finance - a new mortgage provider for the UAE market - was set up and the main shareholders are Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank, Mubadala Development Company, the Tourism Development and Investment Company and developers Sorouh Real Estate PJSC and Aldar.
Having a direct link between mortgage lenders and real estate lenders would appear to be a conflict of interest but with speculators being flushed out of the market it will hopefully make it easier for end-users to obtain finance.
Looking at official figures from the Dubai Land Department, there is a trend emerging that offers a ray of hope. Each year for the last three years a spike on mortgage levels occurred in the month of May.
In 2006, 2007 and 2008 mortgage levels in May grew by 55%, 171% and 124% respectively and then returned to normal levels. Will mortgage lenders, banks, developers and agents see a similar growth in trade in 2009?

AbstractProliferation of the weapons of mass destruction such as nuclear weapons is a serious threat in the world today. Prevention of the spread of nuclear weapons has reached a state of heightened urgency in recent years. Scintillator based gamma-ray spectrometers are an important tool in checking the proliferation of the nuclear weapons. The performance of the current radioisotope identifiers is limited by the characteristics as well as cost of scintillators available at present. The goal of the proposed project is to investigate new scintillation materials that can be produced with excellent optical and scintillation properties using a low cost fabrication approach. Increased flexibility, significantly lower cost as well as high performance can be expected from the proposed technology. The Phase I project was aimed at demonstrating the feasibility of producing high performance scintillators using a low-cost manufacturing method. The fabrication processes were explored and the scintillators produced were evaluated. The Phase II project will involve detailed exploration of the fabrication processes to produce polycrystalline scintillators with high optical quality in large sizes. Evaluation of scintillation properties as well as gamma and neutron detection performance will also be conducted. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits: Over and above use in nuclear non-proliferation, the new detectors will be commercially applicable to medical imaging, NDE, and materials analysis. They will also be useful in nuclear, high energy and space physics experiments.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.
