A Refresher Type of Start
Monday, December 31, 2012
I HATE resolutions for the New Year. My mother used to say about Mother's Day, "If you can only show me for one day a year that you love me, and not the rest of the year, then don't waste your time on Mother's Day." I feel the same way about New Year's resolutions. If you aren't willing to make resolutions through the whole year, then why do it the first day of the year. Well, let me put it this way: I spent many years of my life setting up extreme resolutions that lasted a week at the most and ended up in depressing pits of failure. I see people all around me doing this very thing and my heart aches to tell them not to do it all at once. At the grocery store, I see baskets filled with celery sticks and carrots and that crazed "oh no! I gotta lose this weight in 10 days" look on so many faces. The gym becomes overcrowded for a solid month with many hopefuls who always push it too far too fast.
If there is anything I have learned this year, mainly from sparkpeople, it's that changes take time. And I mean little changes, tiny goals, and LOTS of time. I asked my husband just the other day if he had been able to see a year ago that it was going to take a year just to get this far, and not even be finished with all of our goals, would he still have done it, and he said, "absolutely."
I have to say the same for myself. This year has been AWESOME on so many levels; by no means has it been easy. There were times I wanted to pull my hair out with all the changes. Nevertheless, I feel like a totally renewed person. This was in my email the other day, and it's so true:
SparkPeople's Coach Nicole says:
When you are consistent in your healthy habits, magic is happening in your body and mind, even if the scale isn't moving.
All that being said, I intend to treat January as I have the other 12 months before now. I have some reasonable goals set aside for myself, which I have actually already begun as of yesterday.
**Take cokes out of my diet. I MUST rid myself of this to see any real results. And I mean, eliminate it totally this time. I don't intend to even THINK about having a coke for the next two weeks.
**Eat clean. I have decided that refined sugars (high fructose corn syrup being enemy #1 the more I read about it), pre-packaged carb-loaded foods are getting me no where. Have you ever shopped for 1 ingredient items?? It's tough work! SOOOOO many foods have high sugar content and loads of preservatives. Needless to say, most of my shopping was on the outskirts of the store last night with fresh foods being the most self-explanatory items!
**I'm going to TRY to remove all artificial sweeteners from my diet. I remember my mom always putting the pink sweetener in my beverages as far back as my memory will take me. I know she was only trying to keep me healthy, and back in those days, it was believed to be healthy. I'm finding more and more that artificial sweeteners can be just as bad if not worse than real sugar.
Basically, I'm going to try and clean up the carbs/sugars in my diet. The next two weeks, I am going to refuse to stray away from healthy clean eating. I don't know how that looks for tomorrow, as we have plans to go out of town to visit friends for New Year's. But, I'm hoping it will be on some kind of neutral restaurant ground where I can choose what I eat, rather than be faced with home cooked fried foods or pies or cokes, etc. Christmas was interesting at best where nutrition was concerned, because everyone of my in-laws had had the stomach bug that week and no one really had much of an appetite, so food just wasn't thought of much.
On that note, we are back on track and achieving new goals again. It feels great to be back to some resemblance of routine! I joined the BLC challenge this week, and I hope that will inspire me to stay on track also! I'm still feeling sick even this morning, but I'm still going to go work out at the swimming pool. They are operating normal hours today, so I look forward to easing back into swimming. Let's just hope I can catch a good breath without hacking a lung. Actually it's mostly been throat, and I wonder if it's not strep, but never went to a doc. It's been one of those strange illnesses. It struck me on Friday morning, but I thought it was just plain old allergies. But by Friday night, obviously when all doctors were long gone home, I had fever and chills and I ached from head to toe. I couldn't even move! Then, Saturday came and I felt pretty decent in the morning and like crap again in the evening. Same thing yesterday. This morning my throat just aches like I swallowed rusty razor blades.
But, I'm going to forge on and drink tons of water today to get rid of it once and for all.
As for New Year's, I don't want anyone to feel bad for coming up with some good ol resolutions. It does give structure and meaning to the New Year, but I would love to challenge you to set up resolutions each month. Besides, what good is a resolution if it doesn't solve a problem for life?

I think you have great goals here. I completely agree about the New Years "resolutions" which is why I stuck with my usual monthly goals. Good luck!

I read a Spark article saying why New Year's Resolutions are a waste of time. I feel the main reason is the set time. If you seriously commit to something, it can happen any time and any place. Then you will be entirely focused on what your goal is rather than the special time it began and how long it should take to complete it. Like age is just a number, January 1st is just another day on the calender. Being midweek makes it, in fact, inconvenient for tracking new goals on Sparkpeople as their week starts on a Sunday :P Slow and steady, one step at a time is the Spark way and it does work. Far more effective then a flash in the pan gung ho fast start. The sad news is there is no end goal to reach. This is a LIFETIME commitment. It NEVER ends!!! Along the way you will lose the weight, you will become fitter, healthier and more able to deal with the stress of life. But you can never let up. Its relentless. Its too easy to slip and fall and regain the weight you worked so hard to lose.
I choose to be sentenced to LIFE and that is a good thing -you will live longer!
Spark on in the New Year!
Wishing you & hubby health, happiness and prosperity in the New Year and always!

I so sympathize with you on the throat thing. I was saying just the other day that it felt like I'd gargled with barbed wire. Ugh. Thankfully it's starting to get better now. Whew. I hope yours does quickly!
I love New Years goals. I never call them resolutions, but goals, and I'm very fixated on getting them done. :D I think you have some great goals this year!

I agree we need to work on this *healthy lifestyle journey" ALWAYS! I'm dreading this month at the gym cause every January...it is packed but by mid Feb it will be back to normal. So many ppl have such good goals and intentions to get healthy but it is hard to follow through all year! Let's be strong and make 2013 our year!

Shine On, You Crazy Diamond
Hey, you know what you have that Paris Hilton doesnt (aside from a healthy adults sense of shame)? A free pass to Shine this Friday. Florida residents get into the club gratis until midnight, meaning, yeah, youll probably have to line up when the party-vampire crowd is just heading home from the previous evenings godless, all-night dancing binge. But free is free, right?
This marks the return of the special Friday House Party nights at Shine, the posh dance joint thats part of the entertainment complex at the Shelborne resort on South Beach. Youll get your freak on to the house tunes of Australian native Anthony Pappa, popularly known as the DJs DJ. Since gracing the cover of DJ Magazine in 2000 as a charter member of the celebrated nu-breed of house DJ, Pappa has spun records in the biggest clubs in the world. DJ Pryde and Jon Cowan are also slated to perform, and it all begins at 11 p.m. If you insist on being fashionably late to cool things, thats okay too, but itll cost you. Admission is $20 after midnight. You must be 21 or older to get in.

Plan for College
Learn how to prepare for the education and training that will get you your dream job.
What is College Like for Adrianna?
Get a real take on campus life from an applied sociology student from Byers, Texas.
- What is a typical day for you on campus?
Usually, I attend two or three classes in the morning. I have plenty of free time but I have chosen to use it studying. From day one, every teacher would tell me, "the harder you study in the beginning, the better the student you are in the end." Having followed their advice, I don't have to work as hard now that I'm a senior. As for extracurricular activities, there is no time for me to spare, especially regarding intramural sports with scheduled game days.
- What do you do for fun? Do you stay at school and get involved with the recreational activities available on campus or go home over the weekend?
You absolutely cannot experience college if you go home every weekend, which is why I stay at school. On the weekends, most social activities take place. You miss out on a lot if you choose not to participate. I enjoy spending most of my free time with my friends, since I live six hours away from home. They are my family stand-ins.
- What's the biggest difference between life in high school and life in college?
College is more of a melting pot of different kinds of people. There is more than one way of thinking and you are exposed to a lot of opinions. I learned to be open-minded when I moved to college. Everyone has a voice and it is better for you to listen than to force someone to listen to you. I also learned how to define myself as an individual. I matured on my own and learned to make my own choices without supervision. Plus, I learned to deal with the consequences.
- What's the easiest way to meet people and make friends?
I suggest living in the dorms for two or three years. I enjoyed having people around me all day.
- How did you decide on a major?
I took several different classes that were not basics, but interested me at the time. Plus, I changed my major a few times till I found my niche.
- What were the most helpful classes you took in high school to prepare you for college?
Science, math, computer/keyboarding, and literature courses were very helpful
- Is there enough help available if you have trouble with a class?
Each college has its own tutoring programs. At my school, the professors were always available during office hours or by appointments. I strongly recommend going to the teacher or teacher's assistant. I found that alternative assistance can be helpful, but sometimes it differs from specific instructions of certain teachers.
- How did you choose a college or university?
I always wanted to move to a big city but didn't think I would take such a big change from a small town setting. Going to the school that I chose was a small adjustment and I have some big cities nearby.
- Do you live on campus or off campus? What advantages or disadvantages are there to living on or off campus?
I live off campus now. Living on campus, you are among friends and are able to wake up five minutes before class and still get there on time. It is convenient also because there are plenty of resources that you're paying for anyway that are just a short walk away. Living off campus, you have your own kitchen, bathroom, and if you can afford it, your own bedroom.
- If you could go through high school again, what would you do differently?
I would have designed better study habits.
- Do you consider your college lifestyle to be balanced and healthy?
Yes, mainly because I have other people helping me or giving me advice when I need some. If I look tired or grumpy they tell me to get more sleep. And they invite me to go work out with them. As for nutrition, well, the cafeteria has planned nutritious meals. It's just a matter of getting the proper portions.

orange peel extract replaced my Rx of Prilosec

orange peel extract replaced my Rx of Prilosec
This product has worked twice in the past for me. This third time, which I usually buy a pack of this stuff once a year, my heartburn disappeared after about a week. There are 10 softgels in the pack, and the only downside is that when I burp on the days I take it (recommended every other day), I can taste the orange peel. I have been off Rx med Prilosec for 3 years now.

I've suffered with GERD for years and while Nexium gave relief it also gave me a lot of bathroom time if you know what I mean. I came across this product one day and to my surprise it truly works as advertised. I received complete relief for months after I stopped taking this and only take occasionally now when symptoms arise.
Partial "cure" for heartburn.
Posted by Reviewer1822325 on Oct 16, 2007 | Verified Purchase
For more than a year I have suffered from heartburn,acid reflux,and despite trying many varied solutions both herbal and over the counter drugs Enzymatic therapy,heartburn free softgel capsules are to date the only product that has given me any relief,and surprisingly almost just as is claimed by the maker after taking the softgels I was free of heartburn for approx 6 to 7 months then you have to take the softgels again for further relief,I did find however that unlike stated I had to take the gels every day [ x 2 packs]not every other day for them to be effective,but if you are a heartburn sufferer then this product gives an inexpensive temporary relief from a painful condition that can be both life affecting and also develop into a more serious problem if left to go untreated.
A Superior Product
Posted by Reviewer3097400 on Jan 24, 2007 | Verified Purchase
I have used this product for a few years now and have recommended to many friends and acquaintances. Heartburn Free, as I and others can attest, works better than conventional acid inhibitors. In addition, not only is it free of the serious side effects associated with proton pump inhibitors, because of its active ingredient (orange peel extract), it is positively good for you.
Very good when used consistently
Posted by Reviewer1553885 on Sep 16, 2008 | Verified Purchase
Didn't do very well when I just took one (it was a 50/50 shot at whether it would quell the heartburn), but when taken consistently--every other day, as indicated, or even every day--it makes a difference.

The absolute best!
Posted by Reviewer3010855 on Dec 16, 2007 | Verified Purchase
I have tried every over the counter and prescription product that deals with heartburn and acid reflux for years. I had some temporary, but unsustainable relief with a few products. I tried 'Heartburn Free' after a friend convinced me that not only would it work, but that it was nutritionally beneficial, unlike the chemical brew that I had been ingesting. It does work. In fact it works so well, that I have not needed nor taken it for months. It also has alleviated the clawing fear of the consequences of long term acid reflux on the stomach lining.

Best Acid/Heartburn medication
Posted by Reviewer3227840 on Aug 31, 2009 | Verified Purchase
I've tried several prescription drugs (Nexium, etc.), and just got worse. Discovered 'Heartburn Free', and feel great. With some simple diet changes, and patience, I rarely even rely on these. Anyway, great natural medication...WAY more effective than the prescription junk. As soon as you start burping oranges instead of acid, you know its working!

My wife is a singer and has battled reflux her entire career, sleeping on wedges and what not, until... Don't know why this works, and don't really care. All we know is that it isn't harmful. She was starting to have some more symptoms after MONTHS of NO REFLUX, so we got some more, and yup, fixed it agian.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by DejectedFan1996, Nov 18, 2012.
Hellllll no
He can't start over Scandrick in the slot, can't start over Carr or Claiborne so what's the point? Unless he's willing to move to free safety?
Lol at a CB not being "used" correctly. He's playing mostly man, and getting burnt. Theres not much else to know. He's no longer able to keep up with fast receivers, thats just obvious.
Back to the Raiders......:laugh2:
A free safety
No. He has been a borderline locker room cancer with the team. He got Castillo canned and always is blaming other players when the secondary breaks down. I was pleased when we did not get him last year.
Heavens no.
Rather take the money and put it towards somewhere else. Like oline or dline
Only if he is willing to sign a cap friendly deal and transition to free safety. He can still be a top player.
here is a radical idea
lets upgrade the DL and OLB (opp ware)
i know this completely out of left field but lets give it a shot
I hope they can agree to a reasonable contract with Spencer prior to the draft so they can focus on the trenches. Otherwise that first rounder is going to an Outside linebacker.
For all those who say Nnamdi should go to free safety: they need to play physicaland actually tackle.
Nnamdi is one of the worst tacklers in the league. And he shies away from physical play.
Some other team will overpay him for a year or 2 and then he will retire. Let him go. The Cowboys need safety help, but he's not the answer.
Move him to safety and maybe i could think about it...
Don't need some egals reject who is playing like crap.
Moving on.
I agree with this, but Nnamdi doesn't seem like the type of a guy who would do something like this. The Eagles defensive scheme is horrible though. I have no idea why they thought it would be a good idea to make a guy like Nnamdi who has never been a ballhawk and use him like he's one. He does have more interceptions in his last two seasons with Philadelphia than he did in his last three seasons with Oakland, but he's also given up significantly more big plays through the air. Nnamdi needs to be in a man to man scheme. That's where he excels.
Oh really? What have they been asking him to do... cover recievers?
Sorry, he's a bust. No thanks.
This is the ONLY way it should happen. If he's willing to play Free Safety AND play for cheap.
I agree. When he started with the Raiders he played safety and was not good at safety.

Kathy and Joe were lovely hosts. Delicious breakfast
Shaker Farm Bed and Breakfast, Enfield
Beautiful and quaint
Beautiful B&B, tall people may have problems as bedroom ceilings are very low due to age of the building, it's quirky and loved sitting with all other guests for breakfast each morning which was beautifully presented. Bathroom very small but shower a good size, once again it's a very old property which dictates its layout and added to the charm.
Shaker Farm Bed and Breakfast, Enfield
cozy Vermont home
It is a personable family business where you interact with other guests and with hosts. When you walk in, you are a made feel like a real house guest in a warm kitchen, no formalities. The hosts made it very sweet and cozy--and yet they had tact and knew when to withdraw (the same is required of guests :-). Breakfast was original and delicious, freshly made, and everybody sits at a long beautifully set table, with flowers and decorations--a chance to talk, to meet others...It may be a bit constricting, unlike impersonal hotels, but I think this is perfect for two days...

Electronic health records (EHRs) are detailed histories of each patient's interactions with the medical world. Healthcare providers will use EHRs to capture a person's entire medical history including doctors' notes and documentation, all medications and allergies, vital signs over time, immunization status, radiology images, laboratory test results, and billing information. EHRs will need to be compatible with different hospitals' computer programs enabling all health care systems to share a patient's medical history. When a patient visits the emergency department at the local hospital, for example, the doctor there will be able to access patient's clinical information from their primary care doctor through an EHR. It is hoped that EHRs will reduce healthcare costs and improve the quality of care.
It is believed that EHRs will be funded by a $19 billion infusion into the health care system, part of the $787 billion 2009 stimulus package, from the federal government. Some money is being administered presently, while the bulk of the funding, which will be paid out to doctors and hospitals through Medicare and Medicaid incentives, is likely to begin being dispersed in 2010.

Sopris Mountain Ranch
Aerial video of 1710 Sopris Mountain Ranch Road, Basalt, CO
Mount Sopris is located in western Pitkin County, south of Carbondale and southwest of the confluence of the Crystal and Roaring Fork rivers. Mount Sopris is notable for having two summits, East Sopris and West Sopris, that are one-half mile (0.8 km) apart and have the same elevation of 12,965 feet (3,952 m).
It is named for Richard Sopris, a former mayor of Denver and part of the first European expedition in the Roaring Fork Valley. In 2011 J.P. McDaniels petitioned to rename East Sopris "Mount John Denver" after the Colorado singer. A local poll in Aspen and Carbondale said 74 percent of the respondents were against the proposal.
Mount Sopris dominates the skyline of Carbondale and the lower Roaring Fork Valley, serving as an unofficial symbol of the area. It is prominently visible from State Highway 82 in the vicinity of Carbondale. In terms of local relief, it is one of the largest peaks in the state of Colorado. For example, West Sopris rises 6,400 ft (1,905 m) above the valley to the west in only 2.7 mi (4 km). Mount Sopris is an inactive volcano, but the exact time frame is not well documented. (One can compare this to the corresponding vertical rise of the more well-known Maroon Peak in the heart of the Elks: it rises only about 4,300 ft (1,310 m), at best, in the same horizontal distance.) In fact a vertical rise of over 6,000 feet in less than 3 miles is rare and impressive anywhere in the contiguous United States.
Description: "A magnificent mountain estate incorporating 7,200 s.f. of luxury amenities in a design that emphasizes the rustic sophistication of a gentlemen's ranch and the gracious indoor outdoor flow of a home that is at once intimate and accommodating for friends and family, yet spacious and organized for philanthropic events and large parties. A smart and ADA-accessible floorplan includes all family and entertainment spaces on one level. Grand south-facing terraces and lawns extend the living areas into the surrounding natural environment, facilitating a seamless indoor outdoor relationship. A 2,700 s.f. barn accommodates up to four horses for easy access to miles of private equestrian trails and thousands of acres of public land."

Student success : the identification and support of first year university students at risk of attrition
Nelson, Karen J., Duncan, Margot E., & Clarke, John A. (2009) Student success : the identification and support of first year university students at risk of attrition. Studies in Learning, Evaluation, Innovation and Development, 6(1), pp. 1-15.
Published Version
(PDF 211kB)
The engagement behaviour of 1,524 student-enrolments ("students") in five first year units was monitored and 608 (39.9%) were classified as "at risk" using the criterion of not submitting or failing their first assignment. Of these, 327 (53.8%) were successfully contacted (i.e., spoken to by phone) and provided with advice and/or referral to learning and personal support services while the remaining 281 (46.2%) could not be contacted. Nine hundred and sixteen students (60.1%) were classified as "not at risk." Overall, the at risk group who were contacted achieved significantly higher end-of-semester final grades than, and persisted (completed the unit) at more than twice the rate of, the at risk group who were not contacted. There were variations among the units which were explained by the timing of the first assignment, specific teaching-learning processes and the structure of the curriculum. Implications for curriculum design and supporting first year students within a personal, social and academic framework are discussed.

There are, today, more than 390 different girls in my site explicite-art.com.
French porn stars such as Tiffany Hopkins, Melissa Lauren, Angell Summers, Milka Manson, Lou Charmelle..., Czech international models (Nella, Eufrat, Monica Vessela...) and, most of all, lots of French debutantes who make their very first experience with us (Bulle, Mahé, Mia Moore, Judy Minx, Lea Fast...)
All kinds of girls. All kinds of emotions and souvenirs that I wish to share with you here.
Milka Manson
Age : 21 yo
Nationality : French
Status : pro
Temperature : 5/5
Milka is a heartbreaking-lovely-naughty-funny-clever Parisian student. She is 21. I worked a lot with her and she did all kinds of naughty things for explicite-art.com. She also had one of the main roles in my film "Montre-moi du Rise" (with Eliska Cross and Angell Summers). She recently stopped working in porn and she is now a good and decent cinema student :)

Sway bar question
I'm considering picking up an m3 sway bar for the front of my 325ci. What I'm wondering is, will this be a bolt on application, or will I also need to get m3 struts
Why put yourself through the grief of figuring out how to put parts on your car that was not intended for it. The front control arms on the non M cars are shorter, because the M3 had a wider track and perhaps some geometry changes, and hence the bar accommodates this. To save yourself the headache, buy a 26 mm front bar (with a corresponding rear bar for handling balanace) from Ground Control or another reputable company and be done with it. Last thing, if you can, buy an adjustable bar. This give you choices in how you want to set the car up, and the reason why I bring this up is that on my E46M, I had Bilstein PSS9 coils and then later, I got some CSL front and rear bars for a steal; I had to play with the the damper settings until the bar/damping combo finally felt right.

Validated Numerics:
This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory and practice of validated numerics, an emerging new field that combines the strengths of scientific computing and pure mathematics. In numerous fields ranging from pharmaceutics and engineering to weather prediction and robotics, fast and precise computations are essential. Based on the theory of set-valued analysis, a new suite of numerical methods is developed, producing efficient and reliable solvers for numerous problems in nonlinear analysis. Validated numerics yields rigorous computations that can find all possible solutions to a problem while taking into account all possible sources of error--fast, and with guaranteed accuracy.
Validated Numerics offers a self-contained primer on the subject, guiding readers from the basics to more advanced concepts and techniques. This book is an essential resource for those entering this fast-developing field, and it is also the ideal textbook for graduate students and advanced undergraduates needing an accessible introduction to the subject. Validated Numerics features many examples, exercises, and computer labs using MATLAB/C++, as well as detailed appendixes and an extensive bibliography for further reading.
"Beyond obvious practical value, this material offers students an excellent opportunity to revisit and rethink some crucial, fundamental college mathematics."--Choice
"[T]his little book is a very important supplement to existing books on validated numerics. It is a must for researchers working in this field."--G. Alefeld, Mathematical Reviews
"The book contains a lot of exercises, various small programs written in MATLAB code, and four sections with numerous problems provided for experimenting on a computer. It is written at an elementary level corresponding to its aims. But it is also a pleasure for specialists to leaf through the book."--Gunter Mayer, Zentralblatt MATH
"This book is an essential resource for those entering this fast-developing field, and it is also the ideal textbook for graduate students and advanced undergraduates needing an accessible introduction to the subject."--World Book Industry
"Validated Numerics contains introductory material on interval arithmetic and rigorous computations that is easily accessible to students with little background in mathematics and computer programming. I am not aware of any other book like it. The exercises and computer labs make it ideal for the classroom, and the references offer a good starting point for readers trying to gain deeper knowledge in this area."--Zbigniew Galias, AGH University of Science and Technology, Kraków
"A significant contribution, particularly since there are not many texts in this area. Validated Numerics will be read by those interested in interval arithmetic, numerical analysis, and ways to make computer simulations more robust and less susceptible to errors. It is well written and well organized."--A. J. Meir, Auburn University

The tourism minister is visiting Iran Sunday, in an attempt to boost tourism and restore ties between the two countries after being cut for more than 30 years.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad visited Egypt earlier this month. He is the first Iranian president to visit Egypt since the Iranian Islamic Revolution in 1979, and has called for a strategic alliance with Cairo.
The revolution that toppled President Hosni Mubarak in January 2011 adversely affected Egyptian tourism.
Before the revolution, tourism accounted for more than 10 percent of the gross domestic product, with 14.7 million incoming tourists in 2010, generating US$12.5 billion in revenue. The following year, 9.8 million tourists came, generating $8.8 billion.

The conference committee charged with brokering an agreement on
the fiscal year 2013 state budget completed its work last night.
Today, the House and Senate are set to approve the measure. The
budget provides $560.9 million in funding for the trial court.
Additionally, the trial court was granted transferability giving
the court administrator flexibility needed to manage the trial
courts business and administrative operations. Additionally, the
Massachusetts Legal Assistance Corporation got $12 million for
fiscal year 2013.

The U.S. Supreme Court today upheld the constitutionality of the
entire Affordable Care Act in a 5-4 decision. Under the law,
individuals who fail to obtain insurance will be required to pay a
tax penalty, beginning in 2014. Click

An amicus
brief co-authored by Massachusetts Bar Association Health Law
Section member Lorianne Sainsbury-Wong was mentioned in the U.S.
Supreme Court's landmark health care decision on page 73 of the
opinion by Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The brief, which
argued that the Affordable Care Act is constitutional was filed
before the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of several Massachusetts
organizations -- including Sainsbury-Wong's employer, Health Law
Advocates in Boston. Ginsburg quoted the brief in a section that
argued that Congressional intervention was necessary because states
that have undertaken their own health care reform would otherwise
be at an economic disadvantage.
The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court recently ruled in
Eaton vs. Federal National Mortgage Association that a
lender must have proper paperwork (promissory note and mortgage) to
foreclose on a home, but that the ruling is not retroactive.
The Health Law Section Council hosted its annual spring
conference on June 26 at the Massachusetts Bar Association in
Boston. The half-day conference offered attendees with an
opportunity to gain a better understanding of a wide variety of
topics in the complex world of health law practice. Topics included
use of social media in the health care sector, an in-depth
discussion of insurance coverage for services for the treatment of
Autism Spectrum Disorder, and the Supreme Judicial Court's recent
decision regarding the constitutionality of excluding legal
immigrants from state-subsidized health insurance. Additionally,
Health Law Conference Co-Chair Stephen M. Fiore and MBA Vice
President Jeffrey N. Catalano provided an overview and history of
apology laws that apply in medical malpractice cases.
Professor Wendy Mariner, from Boston University School of Public
Health, delivered the conference's keynote address. Mariner
provided an in-depth analysis of the Supreme Court's soon to be
issued ruling on the constitutionality of Affordable Care Act.
Rather than speculate on the outcome, Mariner broke down the
arguments and offered some valuable insight on the impact this
decision will have on the way Americans obtain and pay for health
"Most constitutional experts thought this case was an easy one,
a slam dunk," Mariner said. "However, those of us who work in the
health care field recognized the complex nature of this case."

"Summertime and the living is easy."
Summer is a great season to get outside in New England. It is also
a great time to queue up your marketing for the fall. If you have a
vacation scheduled, by all means, go somewhere and enjoy yourself.
Do not think about work. Let your brain take a rest. But resist the
temptation to sit out the whole summer.
Everyone is on vacation I'll just start up again in the
fall. While it is true that there are more people on vacation
in the summer than at other times of the year, few professionals
are on vacation for the entire summer. If you plan ahead, you will
find ample opportunities to go out for coffee, meet for lunch, play
tennis, golf or whatever recreational activity you enjoy. You just
have to find out who is around.
Making the effort to socialize during a more social time of the
year will pay dividends down the road. If you invest in
relationship building in a more relaxed way (at a more relaxed time
of the year), you will build the trust that is necessary to
generate referrals and actual work. So enjoy your own week on the
Cape. But make sure to fill the other summer weeks with meaningful
relationship building activities.

LONDON, Dec. 29 (Xinhua) -- Among the emerging markets, Asia is in the best position to absorb the shocks of the recent financial crisis, said Gerard Lyons, chief economist of Standard Chartered in his recent analysis report.
There are big differences between the advanced economies and some of the emerging countries, particularly in Asia and the Middle East, Lyons said. He noted there are many structural problems in the West, such as the overhang of debt, which suggests the recession may not be followed by an early or strong rebound.
In contrast, in many emerging countries, savings are higher and domestic imbalances are not seen, suggesting that the downturn maybe more cyclical in nature in emerging economies than in the West. In that case, 2010 is likely to be a recovery year, he said.
It is always the case that a US downturn would impact Asia directly through slower exports and indirectly through equity markets and weaker confidence, said Lyons. But Asia, including Korea and Indonesia, should have sufficient policy tools and resources to cope. he said.
However, it is important not to be complacent about the outlook for emerging markets, he said, adding that policy makers across the emerging world should not fall into the trap seen in the advanced economies over the past year or so, where many early warning signs of impending problems were ignored.
He said Asia experienced its own financial crisis a decade ago, and since then, many countries across the region have ensured more policy ammunition to cope with shocks. "We are seeing their shock absorbers being tested to the full," he said.
On global economic gloom, Lyons said "it may be premature to suggest we are past the worst in the financial crisis, but it does seem that way."
"Whilst we may be past the worst, the financial sector, certainly in the West, is in a fragile situation. And to say we may be past the worst does not mean we are about to recover. It could take years to work through the problems of various derivative markets," he said, adding that 2009 will be a tough year for the advanced economies, notwithstanding all the stimulus measures.

hazy car headlights
1 Attachment(s)
,what is a good home remedy to clean the haze off of your car's headlights
Attachment 59067
Go to Autozone and pick a headlight renew kit, they work wonders
I wetsand them with 2000 grit paper
Some dupont #7 auto polish and a clean soft rag.
If the haze is from a popped seal and is on the inside, just get a new assembly complete will all new bulbs for about $50.
My 1999 Jimmy SLT had a popped seal got all for about the same amount. Mine had high, low, driving and signals. I had it in when I got an oil change from my mechanic and when he saw the box he installed one unit for no charge because it took about a minute to do.
I felt good until he told me I could bought the same thing 3 blocks down the street without the online freight (regional office with few signs).
Why don't you visit an auto repair shop? They really can help you out. There is one in my area. Coleman Auto Restoration Systems, I have seen their work its just amazing. I am sure they can treat your headlights too.
Here's a fairly detailed write-up from a car forum. It's all pretty standard - getting rid of the haze on the EXTERNAL surface ( like mentioned above, if you have a bad seal and haze is in the inside..... ), just increasingly finer grades of sandpaper.
Where this one goes on a tangent is the use of mineral spirits and spar urethane once finished to seal the surface. It's a losing battle once the plastic starts to "dry-rot", you'll be doing it over ( and over ) again as they'll haze over. I polished the lenses on one of my cars crystal clear, and W/I 6 months the worst of the two started getting bad again, now it's just like it was pre-polish.
I replace the lens. Try Certi-fit for cheap replacements.

On Base Housing, Foster: New Chatan E1/E4
Living overseas has its challenges, and a commonly agreed upon one is finding that perfect place to live. To help those of us who are curious about the different options for living on Okinawa, readers have answered some of the most frequently asked questions about on-base housing. If you live in an on-base house that has not yet been featured on this site, please contact our Submissions Manager for the template.
Here's a great link to access, too, if you're on the fence as to whether to live on-base or off-base.
What military base is your home located on? Camp Foster
What area of the island is your home located on (i.e. North Island, Central Island, South Island)? Central
What is the name of your neighborhood in which your home is located? New Chatan
Generally speaking, most on-base homes are approved for occupancy based on military or government rank. If you would like, please provide the range of ranks that your home is approved for? No idea, I guess Junior Enlisted. My husband is E-4
Please describe the "feel" of your neighborhood. Pets friendly, lots of kids, spacious and safe
Please describe the style of your home. Multiplex, we are in an end unit. From what I understand they are about 2 years old with American appliances. 3 bedroom, 2.5 baths, 2 stories, huge closets with the master bedroom closet being a walk-in, lots of storage.
What services are available near your home? There is a playground on pretty much every block, PX is across the street (with-in walking distance), Macaroni Grill is under the tunnel less than 2 min away, shoppette is within walking distance, commisary is about a 3 min drive.
How is parking provided for your home? I have one parking space and there are visitor spots we use for 2nd cars
Is there any yard space or outdoor spaces provided for your home? We have a front yard, small backyard, big back porch that has a fence type thing around it, and since we are on an end unit we have a side yard.
What do you feel is special about your home or neighborhood – what makes it feel like "home" here on Okinawa? Our neighborhood really has a family feel to it. Everyone has kids.
Are there any expenses or fees associated with on-base housing? Just our internet/cable bill — we have the biggest package available it is about $80 a month.
Finally, what advantages and disadvantages do you feel have been your experience living on a military base here on Okinawa? On base we still get the American feel and it has helped me be less homesick. We still get to experience what Japan has to offer with the festivals both on and off base without being overwhelmed.
On-base is not as bad as people seem to make it out to be. I love how close knit the community is and how we can choose how involved we want to be with the Japanese culture. We have extremely young children (15 months and a newborn) and I personally feel safer on base than I think I ever could off-base.
If you live in on-base housing OR off-base housing that has not been featured on Okinawa Hai, or in housing that has been renovated since its last post, please contact our Content Manager for the on-base housing template and instructions on how to share your little slice of Okinawa with the rest of us.

I am very nervous/worried about a car and gettign into base housing…I heard moving and living off base is VERY expencsive ??? :/Rachel

Rachel, If you read through our off-base housing posts you'll probably find that living off base can be affordable and enjoyable for many people. http://okinawahai.com/off-base-housingHeather G

AHHH our packers are hear gathering up all our belongings to head to OKINAWA!!! We will be there early August, im excited and nervous at the same time.. I keep thinking they are going to pack something that I will need for the trip over… (our passports are in safe keeping so i know its not that)
We have two children and hope that the wait for housing isnt too long along with the wait for our belongings to arrive.
Maybe ill see some of you there!!Brittnay
April 19, 2012
I've read A LOT about pets and housing…and I'm still getting mixed reviews of how it will go down. Basically my question is, has anyone you know or yourself NOT been offered pet friendly housing options? The Marine website info on pets scares me, it says you might not and you'll have to "properly dispose of your pet". Anyone with that kind of info is greatly appreciated.StraightEdgeMama
May 4, 2012
If they can not get you in to one of the pet towers or housing area then you will be offered the option to live off base. You or your spouse should have a sponsor that should have tried and taken care of your housing needs already. I've been on island 4 years and have sponsored a handful of families and I've never ever heard of someone having to dispose of their pets because of housing not being available.Pat
April 15, 2012
Hi! We are PCSing to Kadena this summer, arriving mid July. I was wondering if anyone had any tips as far as websites and research I can do regarding off base housing. Like what areas are closest, general monthly costs, ect. I think we would prefer on-base since it is usually less of a hassle, but from the research I've done, it looks like that might not be the best option! Thanks in advance!Kim

Hey Tim!
Let me preface this by saying I am by noooo means an expert, so if anyone has anything to add or correct please feel free!
I read the SAME thing when researching Okinawa: off base living simply wasn't even allowed. But when we got here everything was full and lo and behold, they offered us the chance to look out in town. There is a lot of housing that's under renovation, so I'm sure that has a lot to do with it.
I don't believe Futenma has family housing, so for on-base my guess is you'll be offered either Camp Kinser or Camp Foster. Foster is larger (like the "main" Marine camp here), with a larger PX, the furniture store, community center, vehicle registration, etc. It's also close to Lester (Naval Hospital) and Kadena (air base, larger BX). I've been in the Towers on Kinser; basic apartment-like setup but really awesome view of the ocean! I've never been in any of the housing on Foster. As far as off-base in the immediate Foster/Futenma/Kinser area, I can't say too specifically as I don't live in that area. Those camps are south of me. I live near Camp Courtney (kind of the middle of the string of Marine camps). I can say that the Foster area is a bit more "urban" (for lack of a better word) than the Courtney area. Not necessarily in a bad way, just more traffic congestion, business, etc. I'm only about 15 minutes from Foster via the Expressway but it feels like a different world. Just keep that in mind if you do look off base. Something else to consider: some of the off-base housing is "Americanized" and some isn't, meaning some will have American appliances and some won't. I live in a non-Americanized house, so our washer, dryer, fridge and microwave are all Japanese (the housing agency provided us with a translation sheet). Also, I do not have an oven, just one of the tiny Japanese fish ovens. Not a big deal for us…I've become a crock-pot master. LOL. Just something to keep in mind. Also, if you are considering off base remember to have some money set aside to pay the agency fee.
On what to bring with you…hmmmmmm…again, not an expert. Don't bring any appliances, though. All the base housing have their own, and I haven't been in an off base house yet that didn't come with them. If you live on base, I believe you can opt to have some of the stock furniture if you don't want to bring your own. Off base housing can be a bit small (depending; our house is pretty big) so keep that in mind as well.
Cars. Well, that depends on what kind of person you are! LOL. Some folks opt to buy nice sedan-type cars. But let me tell you – the roads here, especially once you get off the main road, are crazy narrow and often twisty-turny. So a lot of folks opt to get the basic tiny Japanese car. They don't look as nice but they come in handy on those tiny roads and tinier parking lots! LOL! There are a few regular car lots. The ones I can think of are Johnny's, BC Motors and Pit Stop. We got ours at Johnny's, but I've heard good things about BC. Kadena does have a "lemon lot" also. You may also want to start looking at okinawayardsales.com. Sometimes you can grab a good deal on a car there.
I am full of usless little tidbits of info. Just drop me a line at [email protected]. Hope this helped!Mari

Hey all,
Just wanted to chime in from an off-base perspective. I was terrified at the prospect of living off base but now that I am experiencing it, you could not pay me to move on base. You can negotiate to get your utilities included in your rent, and for those that are not you just have to manage them. We pay our electric and that's it, and as long as we manage it (turn off lights and a/c, etc.) we are fine. Our house is gorgeous, has a yard (with a palm tree! yay!), and I feel perfectly safe (with my 20 month old son – honestly Okinawa is safer than a lot of places in the US), plus you don't have to deal with long lockdowns during typhoons, power outages, water outages, etc. Plus you get fiber optic internet off base! LOL. I just didn't want folks who are getting ready to PCS here to be afraid of living off base if that's your only option. It truly is an amazing experience!!Mari
April 13, 2012
Hi Mari, We are PCSing from Whidbey Island in August. We were under the impression that OFF BASE housing was not an option. I have orders to MCAS Futema. We picked orders to Okinawa for the experience and culture and travel opportunities.
Any insight you can provide for what should take (3200 LBS max), where to live (on or off base)and vehicle options (lemon lots), when we arrive. Thanks
April 4, 2012
Hi we have orders to okinawa in july 2012 my husband is a E8 they r telling us we can't move to camp courtney . my husband will be working on camp courtney so what base will we stay at and also is the towers better to stay at thank you.Sheronica Hull
March 30, 2012
Hello, we are PCS'ing in three months to Camp Courtney. I would appreciate any feedback, advice on anything and everything. We are a family of four. Two boys under the age of 5. Thank you in advance.Nancy

Your wait time for base housing will depend more on rank, how many bedrooms you need, etc.Jo
March 29, 2012
We are PCS-ing in July and are hoping the wait for base housing won't be too terrible. Did anyone come in July of 2011? If so, how long did you wait?
March 19, 2012
We will be moving to Okinawa In August 2012. I have some questions about housing, getting to Japan and pets if anyone can help me! Please feel free to email me at [email protected]. thanks!Eliesha
November 30, 2011
Hi Tania,
The wait time will depend on what rank your husband is and how many bedrooms you qualify for. For 0-1 child(ren) you qualify for a 2 bedroom, 2 children gets you a 3 bedroom, 3 children and you get 3 or 4 bedrooms depending on ages and sexes of the children. The order you're put on the housing list depends on when you leave your old base for Okinawa. February shouldn't be too much of a wait, if any, since it isn't a peak PCS season but I make no promises.
Housing will definitely try to place you on whatever base your husband works on. They try to give you 2 options for housing. A Tier 1 (already renovated) and a Tier 2 (not renovated) house. If the houses are currently empty, housing gives you a key and you can go in and check it out yourself. If the house is currently occupied, they'll give you the location and a layout but you won't actually be able to go in and see it. Mold really isn't an issue if the house has central heating and air otherwise, just buy a dehumidifier.
We flew from SeaTac. It was a military chartered plane. Customs on this end is typically easier than flying commercial. We flew straight into Kadena. Commercial will fly you into Naha Int'l and it's an hour drive to Kadnea. (I'm not sure what base you're going to.) If you are staying at Kadena's Shogun Inn, they do have a shuttle service that's very useful and free. =) Housing will pay your TLF rate through TLA so be prepared for your BAH to stop once you get here. It usually reflects the change on the next payday/LES. Hmmm… I can't think of anything else off hand. I hope that helped. Good luck and welcome to Okinawa!Smith
November 24, 2011
We did get two choices to look at a duplex on Lester and the tower apt on Foster. For me the tower was a better fit for us. I did notice some mold in the Lester place which worried me. As for the Towers it depends on which one you get they go by where u work and some are older than others ours is pretty new and mold free. Appliances are provided and they loan you furniture till your TMO arrives or for the duration of your tour if you choose.
We flew on a commercial plane but it was contracted specifically for families flying on orders to Okinawa and flew into Kadena. It was long and painful, my husband and I traveled together with our 18 month old and our 5 month old not something I'm in a hurry
to repeat. Hope this helps if you have any more questions let me know here's my email [email protected] I can send u pics too if you'd like and congrats on the baby!Dani
November 24, 2011
Thanks so much Dani. My husband is so organized. He's already submitted the housing application to Okinawa, he has TMO scheduled as well, so we're hoping that helps. Where you able to look at your two choices? How do you like your place? I keep hearing they're super old and that there's a mold issue? I'm a bit torn on what to do. I would love to live on base because the living off base does seem stressful and quite pricey when moving in. Does housing on base come with all appliances? (Fridge, washer/dryer) or would we be responsible for that?
As for flights. Where did you fly from? We'll be flying from Cali. I'm praying we get on a commercial flight… You flew alone with your kids?Tania
November 23, 2011
We flew here on the 21st of Oct and after two visits to the Housing office on Kadena we were offered two choices and moved into a Camp Foster tower by 1 Nov. We did our TMO a month before we left and got lucky because it was delivered on the 8th of Nov. As long as you have a good sponser willing to shuttle you around it should be pretty painless I will say that housing was really pushing for families to move out in town but they do have places available. Personally I prefer on base the utilities can get high out in town and it was just less stressful for us to be on base. For me the most painful part was the flight with two small kids.Dani
November 23, 2011
My husband and i will be PCS'ing to Oki in Feb 2012. We keep hearing a bunch of stories on how hard it is to get on base. Is the wait that long? I really would like to know roughly how long it takes. The only other forums i've found regarding my concern are from years ago. We would opt to live off base, but it just seems like a real task. I'll be 6 months pregnant and just want to transition smoothly. What's the word these days???Tania

Joe the Plumber's Stink Bomb Campaign Ad
Joe the Plumber—a/k/a Samuel J. Wurzelbacher—is now Joe the Congressional Candidate. If an early campaign ad is any indication, he's set his sights on a very specific target audience.
Wurzelbacher turns to the camera in his shades and earmuffs and declares: "I love America."
"In 1911, Turkey established gun control," says Wurzelbacher in the clip, while obliterating different fruits with a rifle from close range. "From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were exterminated. In 1939, Germany established gun control. From 1939 to 1945, six million Jews and seven million others, unable to defend themselves, were exterminated."
At the end of the 40-second video, Wurzelbacher turns to the camera in his shades and earmuffs and declares: "I love America."
Not surprisingly, many groups are outraged over the ad's casual conflation of gun control and genocide. The National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC) demanded Wurzelbacher apologize and discontinue the ad. NJDC President and CEO David Harris said: "It is not acceptable ever to invoke the Holocaust to make a political point. To say it does a disservice to those who perished and the memory of the Holocaust is putting it mildly."
Others in the political arena are attacking Wurzelbacher's message for a lack of relevance. As his opponent in the race, Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio) said to MSNBC, most voters are more concerned with bringing jobs to the state, not arming themselves against a future Holocaust:
"I think it's rather peculiar… He's talking about years ago, and I'm not quite sure what relevance that has to the jobs today. I think he's out of step with the vast majority of people across our region and our country."
As a first-time candidate, Wurzelbacher is going to make some mistakes. And facing Kaptur, who has won 15 terms in a row, is certainly an uphill battle. But by appealing to his base with the basest of tactics—fearmongering—Wurzelbacher is falling into the all-too-common political ploy of trying to win over voters by manipulating an emotional response.
Playing fears can be a winning strategy, certainly. But the conversation Wurzelbacher is trying to start is a dead end. Obama hasn't done anything to restrict gun rights, and neither have Democrats as whole. In fact, in 2010, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence gave Obama an "F" on every issue it scored, including background checks, gun trafficking, guns in public, and standing up to the gun lobby and leadership. Wurzelbacher's ad is little more than a red herring, designed to steer the conversation away from the important issues.
For all the misdirection, it wasn't too long ago when Wurzelbacher was singing a different tune. Back in 2008, when he rose to prominence as John McCain's "everyman," it was revealed that Joe the Plumber didn't have a legal plumbing license. At the time, he bristled over the attention, lambasting the media and opposing politicians for focusing on meaningless issues.
"That bothered me," he said at the time. "I wished that they had talked more about issues that are important to Americans."
Was Wurzelbacher out of line with this campaign ad? Let us know in COMMENTS.

Is China's Market Turmoil Creating A Rise in Canadian Real Estate Prices?
My wife and I live in downtown Vancouver, B.C., one of the hottest real estate markets across the country. We just received our property assessment value for 2016, and it has gone up by over 12 per cent in just one year, and that's probably average for where we live. Places like Lion's Bay, just 30 minutes outside the city, reports of property assessment values rising 15-20 per cent, and some as high as 30 per cent. Every day I hear about a real estate bubble on the edge of bursting, with home sale prices exponentially rising well above assessment values, a new crane/development being announced and friends complaining that rental prices are getting ridiculously high.
So where does it all stem from, why are we such an attractive market? I don't think it's a surprise to anyone that foreign investment from Chinese investors over the past few years, and even decades, has been a major contributor to our real estate boom. There are plenty of other factors I'm sure (our incredible beaches, scenic views, fireworks in English Bay, etc.), but I would argue that the Asian influence would be at the top of the list.
OK, so with the previous in mind, what kind of impact will the recent market downturn in China have on our precious real estate? For those of you who might have been in a coma over the past few months, here's a quick update -- China's stock market isn't doing so well, like not well at all actually. It all started in June of 2015. At the time, China's stock market was on an incredible hot streak. With the state-owned media urging them on, many people started pouring their money into stocks. The resulting growth was explosive but unsustainable. As the demand for stocks increased, so too did stock prices. Meanwhile, the overall Chinese economy had actually been slowing down, and debt was skyrocketing. This led to a sudden mass loss in confidence, and a shocking drop in the Chinese stock market.
Over the past few months, the Chinese government has done everything in its power to stop losses. At first their efforts seemed to be working, with volatility in the region decreasing towards the end of 2015. However, over the past first few days of trading in 2016, it's clear that there is still a lot of anxiety and fear amongst investors in China. Just last month, China's stock market was again halted after only 30 minutes of trading, the shortest day in its 25 year history. Since the majority of investors in China's markets are individuals, rather than institutional investors, panic and sell-offs have spread at a much faster rate. Most economists agree that the recent wave of downturns stems from the lowering of the local currency.
This leads me to the Renminbi (also known as the yuan), China's currency, which is fixed to the U.S. Dollar. Just recently, and with little warning, the People's Bank of China lowered the exchange rate of the yuan against the U.S. dollar by 0.51 per cent. This recent currency move has led to a massive selloff in the region, with investors looking to move their assets out of China. Although it's not as easy to convert and move funds out of China, as it is for us to move down south, the government has yet to impose any major restrictions or limitations on doing so.
So now that you have some lay-of-the-land, let's bring it back full-circle. Below is a simple flow-chart that I think will help in explaining why I think the recent market turmoil in China will lead to higher demand for real estate in Vancouver. Working our way through, it seems pretty clear that a major fall in the Chinese Stock Market, could ultimately lead to further increases in Canadian real estate prices.
I understand that this is a heated topic, so I welcome your comments and thoughts. As an investment advisor, it's important for my team and I to help educate others on the importance of diversification. Although my opinion is towards a further increase in property prices in Vancouver/Toronto, this is not a fact or with 100 per cent probability. It's important to consider your home and investment properties as part of your net worth, especially as they are typically some of the larger portions of your portfolio. For more specific questions or concerns, please seek the advice of a professional real estate agent.

This home was listed at just under $3 million in June, and was sold to an offshore buyer for $4.1 million after a couple hours, the realtor said.
This abandoned home (read: eyesore) became a dumping ground over several months in 2015. Piles of rotting trash and unwanted furniture attracted rodents to the area, and the smell was sometimes so bad that neighbours refused to open their back doors. The house was assessed at $813,000, and others in the area were valued at over $1 million.
"Avail now. Bring your tent." A Craigslist ad advertised a backyard for rent for $500 per month. WiFi, use of the home's bathroom, kitchen, laundry, and "art room" were part of the deal. Great for travellers, apparently!
This Tudor home in Vancouver's ritzy Shaughnessy neighbourhood was listed for $5.99 million in May. After 12 days, it sold for just over $8 million. "When you've got too little supply (of detached houses) and too many buyers, that's always what happens," realtor Stuart Bonner told The Province.
Bargain alert: a former grow-op hit the market in March for $930,000. The 1968 two-storey home was in such bad shape that no one could live in it. The house got an occupancy permit back in 2001, and was renovated before it was listed. The price was mostly because of the 6,000 sq.-ft. lot.
This rare, 3.6-metre wide home sold in April for $1.35 million. Tucked in the upscale Point Grey neighbourhood, the floor space is only 945 sq.-ft., but manages to cram in a full kitchen, master bedroom, living room, garage, den and 1.5 bathrooms. The home is believed to be one of the last of its kind in the entire city, according to the realtor.
This house, listed for just under $1.6 million, sold for $2.17 million in March — a mind-boggling 35 per cent over asking. "It was the highest price per square foot ever achieved for an East Vancouver home," realtor Paul Eviston told CBC News.
Chump change, amirite? This 25,000 sq.-ft. mansion, which sits on a 1.09 hectare property, was purchased in December 2014 for $51 million. (Details of the sale were made public in March.) The deal included a movie theatre, grass tennis court, and 10-car garage, according to the CBC.
Talk about a sweet deal! This (very well-decorated) gingerbread house was advertised on Craigslist for $4.5 million in December. It's a one-bedroom home that's a single sq. ft. in size. The baking sheet upon which it stands was not included in the sale. The seller asked for "serious" inquires only.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 126.96.36.199
You could say the Internet is not a phone book, but that is how most people view it. It's logical that people think that way because the Internet is user initiated. It's the user who 'searches' for information.
This is very different than the television where they sit back and are entertained and some commercials are 'pushed' out.
So, the poeople who push junk when someone is looking for other goods and service is doing themselves and everyone else a big disservice.
Why do they do this, because they believe that it's an eyeball game like television.
Waste of money but it's their money.
The question arises from the fact that I believe we may have hit the point of commercial saturation in the paid directories (ODP too). The fact that the price is high to get in almost eliminates anyone except those with a cash flow in their future from their site.
Does John Q "sense" that he's being "set up" with all the "paid" "hand reviewed" stuff? (Exclude the Overto.com results for this argument - that's another thing altogether)
Does John Q. have an innate sense of "fairness" about him that drives him to look for more democratic results?
Has all the "force-feeding" of web advertising made John Q. numb to the stuff that gets presented "at the top"?
As willtell said who cares? If the results are relevant then thats fine. The problem is that at MSN (Look$marts biggest customer) I don't believe the results are up to par. It is a very poor engine to find stuff with....that reflects heavily upon L$.
Yahoo is the opposite. Do you get referrals from the Y? directory? If you said yes then chances are you're an ecommerce type site. Yahoo is a huge online flea market and tons of John Q's go there to find stuff. But once again the results can be dated and the overall experience "carnivalesque".
From a user experience point of view where would you go to find stuff?
Two things:
1. I think the days of big general directories are passing. As has been mentioned here before, the Web has just gotten too big for them to index. There is a place for at least one big directory - when I get garbage listings on a Google or other SE search I generally turn to ODP as an authority to point out the "war horse" sites on the topic.
The problem is, over time, you become familier with the listings in a directory for your topics so you end up only checking up on things every once in awhile to see if anything new has been added.
2. Yes paid or unpaid commercial saturation is a problem in the general directories. People look too these places as authorities (see #1 above) when they yield dead links and Yet Another Spammy Commercial Site people turn elsewhere.
Maybe the addition of Zeal listings will help Looksmart on this aspect. They need it. Yahoo seems to be de emphisising search and the directory and ODP may be just becoming too big and unmanagable.
From a personal standpoint I do like SE's that also have ODP on hand. And I like topic specific directories. I think the public wants whatever gets them results.

A brand-new clip from the final 'Twilight' installment reveals vampire Bella's first interaction with Jacob!
Kristen Stewart is a gorgeous blur, as vampire Bella races through the forest in this new teaser trailer for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part 2. But it's not just Edward (Robert Pattinson) who's impressed by her new supernatural powers; we also see Jacob (Taylor Lautner) come face-to-face with Bella for the first time since her transformation!
"I didn't expect you to seem so… you," Jacob tells Bella.
This comes shortly after Edward, in his typical über-romantic fashion, tells her, "We're the same temperature now."
Watch the teaser trailer below, then tell us: Which line gave you more chills? Edward's romantic notion, or Jacob's back-handed compliment?

Explosion at a Cambridge gas station
CTV Kitchener
Published Sunday, August 12, 2012 4:45PM EDT
Last Updated Sunday, August 12, 2012 6:25PM EDT
Several businesses in Cambridge were evacuated after an underground explosion at a Cango Gas station near Eagle Street and Speedsville Road early Sunday morning.
An attendant turned on the power and there was an explosion. The gas pumps caught fire and a concrete slab shot up from underneath the station's kiosk.
Officials say the attendant was not injured while trying to put out the flames with a fire extinguisher.
The Cambridge Fire department and the Ontario Fire Marshal are investigating for a possible cause and have evacuated several businesses next door as a precaution.
