Aside from the comments that followed last Thursday's posting Why I'm saying farewell to the NUJ, I had several emails. I've also picked up on a welter of comment by bloggers. I'm going to ignore the ad hominem remarks in order to concentrate on the substantive issue. In other words, is the NUJ still relevant as the digital revolution rolls on?
Let me begin with a story told to me by an emailer who, quite understandably, does not wish his identity to be revealed. I think this perfectly illustrates the dilemma we all face. Journalist X works for a regional weekly and is now reconsidering, if not his NUJ membership, then certainly his NUJ enthusiasm, because of the impact of the internet on his newspaper in particular and newspapers in general.
"I have been closely involved with the relaunch of our website", he writes. "It happens to coincide with a drive for union recognition, and a predictable anti-union drive in response. At previous jobs, as a reporter, my knee-jerk reaction would have been to become even more pro-union."
But X is now tasked with developing the paper's website and, in that role, he finds himself clashing increasingly with "dyed-in-the-wool" intransigence from a union leadership that views all change as an opportunity to bash the management. This has given him what he calls "a different perspective."
In X's view, there is an urgent need for more flexible working arrangements in order to ensure the website can be updated, even at weekends. As we are all discovering, there is no point to websites that stop and start to the rhythms of a newsprint newspaper. Audience hits depend on there being a regular supply of editorial content on a paper's website.
It does not mean that regional weeklies have to offer 24/7 coverage, but they cannot possibly expect to attract readers if they leave up the same text and video for four successive days. If they do, people will stop visiting the site and, if there are few hits, then why should advertisers spend their money pushing products? Indeed, given that the need at the moment is to persuade advertisers of the verities of placing their ads on the net, there is an urgent need to give people reasons to log on to newspaper websites.
"I truly believe if we don't develop our website properly, we are going to be left way behind our reasonably strong online competition", writes X. But he also realises that the management might well wish to take advantage of the situation in order to squeeze more work for less pay from his colleagues. He certainly wishes to avoid that because he believes professional, trained journalists will be as important in the digital future as they are now.
He therefore takes issue with my notion of a changed journalistic landscape. He writes: "I can't see how relying on the views of 'individual citizens... working together in loosely-knit collaborative communities' or 'freelances and/or citizen journalists, bloggers, whatever' is any better than PR, when it comes to giving a balanced and well-investigated account of what is going on in local communities."
He is convinced that such people "are likely to have as much of an agenda as PRs" and argues that the bloggers who write to his paper appear to be "a bunch of opinionated, one-issue oddballs." So the journalist remains essential. "You need to have the contacts, which you can only develop if you work in a properly-staffed office. Without preserving those reporting jobs, this will disappear."
So his predicament is obvious. He wants all the paper's journalists to embrace new working conditions, including the acceptance of unpopular weekend shifts and, presumably, multi-media skills. Though the NUJ chapel is hostile to these essential changes, and he finds himself arguing against it, he will remain a union member because he thinks it the best way to maintain overall journalistic skills.
In essence, this argument - along with its central contradiction - was advanced by Tim Gopsill, editor of The Journalist and Hélène Mulholland, mother of The Guardian's NUJ chapel. Tim wrote: "The union wants to try to preserve professional standards in a somewhat challenging environment."
Similarly, Hélène wrote: "What we defend, and are right to defend in my view, is the threat to quality journalism which we fear could be eroded by media companies who see the digital age as an opportunity to load more work on individual shoulders by cutting back on staff at a time when working across a number of platforms is increasingly becoming the norm."
I am, as I said in my original posting, eager not to see owners and managers reducing journalistic staffs. I wrote: "I certainly don't agree that current newspaper owners should be taking advantage of digitisation to fire people in order to maintain unacceptably high profit margins."
I'm with Tim, Hélène, X and those commenters - such as madpole and looloo - who believe that journalism really does matter. Of course it does. That's why I teach it. I do believe there will always be a role for "professional journalists", people whose daily task is to uncover stories and place them in the public domain. But they be supplemented and complemented - and sometimes, perhaps increasingly, superseded - by a significant cohort of "non-professional journalists" (for want of a better phrase).
Where I diverge from them, and from commenters such as groll, otromundo and thermostat, is that the NUJ can offer a reliable, coherent path to the (admittedly unknown) digital future. I predict that X will, in the near future, find that he cannot square the circle at his paper. Despite his continuing sympathies for colleagues, and his lingering desire to remain faithful to the NUJ, he will realise that the demands of a paper gradually moving from print to screen are inimical to those of a union that, despite its pro-digital rhetoric, is committed only to preserving outdated demarcation lines, defying the need for flexibility and struggling to fend off staff cuts that, in fairness, will be necessary.
How could I possibly remain a union member when I now hold such views? To advocate that we need fewer jobs is anathema to the union. That's why I say it would be hypocritical for me to go on being a member. Nor could I, as some commenters suggest, fight for that position within the union. It would be a laughable option.
I am sure that people will say, as X does, that the logic of my position is to hand to owners and managers the whip hand. However, I am not asking other people to follow my lead, nor am I urging the union to dismantle its defences. I remain as appalled as ever at those owners, particularly the large regional chains, that refuse to reduce their profit margins. Then again, I understand that the boards are merely responding to the ruthless pressure from their anonymous investors. I also note that some of them, Johnston Press and Trinity Mirror for example, have invested heavily in the net.
That said, the big companies may not survive in the long term. Unless they can convince readers and advertisers of the merits of clicking on to their websites, they will go to the wall. In the immediate future, therefore, online journalistic input is vital to retaining and/or expanding audiences.
Finally, I want to stress that this is a personal decision. I cannot, in all conscience, remain within a union I now regard, albeit reluctantly, as reactionary. The digital revolution is here and I am digital revolutionary.

Days Of Whine And Wuerffel
Friend and neighbor JG and I spent our evening bus ride home reflecting upon one the dark periods in Washington, DC history - the Steve Spurrier era. Easily the worst coach the Redskins have had in my lifetime. Maybe the worst coach the NFL has seen in my lifetime. Of all of Dan Snyder's ebulliently dumb decisions - and they are legion - none loom so large as the decision to bring the out-of-his-depth "ball coach" to Washington.
The Spurrier offense seemed to be predicated on a set of conditions that were entirely alien to professional football. Blocking packages were rudimentary, there were no blitz reads in the offense, Trung Fucking Canidate was to be our primary rushing option. And the quartbacking was a grim parade of busted ass and incompetence.
JG recalled listening to a sports radio show, to whatever QB (I forget now which one he said it was) break down a play from the previous Sunday, where he described coming to the line of scrimmage, reading the defensive set, and calling "the audible." THE audible! As in, the offense had ONE fracking audible. I believe his recollections, too! Because I can just picture Spurrier in the locker room at halftime admonishing his quarterback, "Dag nab it! I was saving the audible for the third quarter!"
My most distinct memory of the time was an post-game presser after another loss, in which ersatz gunslinger Danny Wuerffel has totally shit the bed. "I don't understand it," Spurrier said, "I've seen Danny play in a lot of games, but I've never seen him make those kinds of mistakes."
I wish I had been there, because I would have said, "Asshole. That's because the last time you ever saw this shitdick play was at the University of Florida, where you never faced a defense that could get within a country mile of him, and he got to use all five of his fucking Mississippis before wildly tossing the ball downfield against a secondary that was usually sucking wind by the end of the first half. But now Danny is playing grown-ass men, and I have seen him play in a lot of games against grown-ass men, and if you had done the same you'd remember him making those kinds of mistakes. Indeed, you'd be aware of Danny Wuerffel's pioneering work in the field of error."
Amanda and I, who enjoy texting each other our hoopla and our angst during Redskins games, have decided that the only way to approach the Redskins this year is to treat the team as if they were a first year expansion team. That way, expectations are managed. I have no idea of Jim Zorn is going to be a good coach or a terrible one. But one thing's for sure: he won't be the worst.

Ant KillerMature
From there on out it's a numbers game. You know, as in safety in. Don't ask me why life is this way. If it were up to me I'd work my way into a comfortable crevice and count the grains of dust sliding by. Live on crumbs that come my way. Kind of like an 8-legged doom walker -- just sitting in his web, not a care, waiting for his lunch to wake him up. I envy those guys. They mostly leave us alone. They're okay by me. No, for us it's your mother turns on you and you must become part of a crew. Why? Because you can only be a victum so long.
What I mean is it is very unfun to be stealthily followed by a cadre of larger, fiercer, but suprisingly quiet, adolescent roaches calling themselves The Tip-Toers, who, after you have led them to a forgotten Dorito you located atop the immense four-post sleeping module, suddenly appear from nowhere and surround you, make fun of the way you talk, call you an ant, then "hang-glide" away with your weeks worth of grocery. It is very unpleasant to wake up on the surface of water in the Great Concavity and look up to find six unfamiliar faces laughing at you from the brim, yelling "Morsel Hunters bitch!" before leaving you to hastily make your escape before one of the Providers has to shit. It's enough to make one angry. More than angry, make one hurtful. There is a hot leaking feeling that builds in your thorax, and since you have no way to produce "tears" your eyes just burn and burn.
So you kill. Kill things smaller than yourself. For me that means ants and little else. They're a menace anyhow. And so cocky they are. When they're 50 or 60 deep, systematically dismantlying an entire chicken leg in the Meal Room and you run across them they want to pick a fight, but get 3 or 4 of them alone and it's "No, please, please! It wasn't us that stole the peanut brittle from your crevice we swear!" Then you say but I saw you, it looked just like you; and then they drop their "But we are all identical!" line, which does them no good because it's true they all do look identical so how would I know if this particular ant was lying to me or not. It's all moot anyway. They're dead no matter what. Good riddance. One less to worry about. When you kill an ant he deflates and wrinkles up like a tiny prune. I suck the juices from their heads and drag their bodies back to me crevice, line them against the wall, and stare with satisfaction.
Single-handedly kill half an ant colony and you become some kind of a celebrity. Roaches start telling stories about you. Hatchlings see you and exalt your name. Even the Providers take notice, but of course they end up giving the spiders all the credit. Those lazy freaking spiders, 8-legged doom walkers. I'm out here taking care of our mutual ant problem and the Providers start laying off the spiders and continuing to stomp us roaches. Eddie from Frequent Flyers is murdered with a foot-helmet during the male Provider's "day off". Daniella from 5-Legged Females is washed down the Food-Liquifier while attempting to gather droplets for hatchlings.
This must not continue.
Since achieving notoriety I have everyone's "ear". I say: Roaches, we must band together. I say the spiders will multiply. Because they will. They are protected. A protected species. I say the spiders will begin to pose a threat. Because they will. At least I'm afraid they will. Others are afraid too. I go from being alone and angry to being un-alone and somewhat scared. Something must be done.
"Killing ants is one thing," an elder named Carlos from Wall Walkers says. "But spiders, that's a whole other bag of toothpicks."
"What's a toothpick?" says a female named Fern.
"It's those pointy silver things that Providers use to eat with," says Marco from Morsel Hunters.
"Yes," says Carlos. "That is exactly what a toothpick is. We mustn't give in to this kind of paranoia. The Ant Killer... "
"Rodney," I say. "My name is Rodney. Please do not speak of me as though I am not standing right next to you."
"Mr. Rodney here," Carlos gestures, "is very young. He knows not what he is saying. Let us speak with these spiders and find out their intentions. They have always been equitable with us. Let's not jump the gun."
"What's a gun?" asks Fern.

Oven-Fried Buffalo Wings
With Super Bowl Sunday coming up my thoughts inevitably turn to the king of all football snacks – buffalo wings. And although I am a sucker for everything deep-fried, it happens to be the one piece of kitchen equipment that I refuse to acquire.
Actually, in college I had a couple of buddies that did invest in a small fry-daddy. It was an awful idea. I came over one day to find my friend using the fryer to heat up a bag of peas. I don't even think they were breaded! This just serves to illustrate the depravity that owning a deep fryer can reduce someone to.
Anyway, since I don't have a fryer but I do have a reasonably good convection oven I've decided to try out this recipe from Honestly Yum. It basically involves air drying your wings so that there is little to no moisture on them, tossing them in baking powder and salt (which further aids the drying) and then cooking them in a very hot oven.
The result is fryer crispness without all the fat. Toss the crunchy wings in your favorite hot sauce mixture and grab some blue cheese dressing for dipping and you're ready to go!
- 4 pounds chicken wings
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 1 Tbsp kosher salt
- 3/4 cup Sriracha or other hot sauce
- 6 Tbsp unsalted butter
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees.
- Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels.
- Let them dry for 30 minutes on the counter, especially if you just removed them from the fridge.
- In a bag or large bowl toss wings with baking powder and salt.
- Place wings on baking sheets with at least a1/2-inch between pieces on the top rack of the oven.
- Bake for 20 minutes, flip and bake for another 15 minutes or until golden and crisp.
- To prepare the sauce melt butter in a sauce pan, add in Sriracha.
- Remove wings from oven, toss in sauce and serve hot!
At some point, perhaps between steps 4 & 5, the wings, soda and salt come together?
These were sooooo good. We used Sweet Baby Ray's Wing Sauce. Next time will add some cyenne peppers to spice it up just a little more.

'Why was monster freed to murder our mother?' Family's agony as it emerges drug addict was released from secure unit months before killing British expat
- Deyan Deyanov killed Jennifer Mills-Westley, 60, in Los Cristianos in 2011
- He slashed her throat and then spent five minutes hacking off her head
- Despite his schizophrenia, jury found him guilty because he surprised her
- He tells court: 'I am Christ reborn and I will bring fire of Holy Spirit on you'
- Her daughter Sarah Mills-Westley said there had been 'a catalogue of failings' by 'a number of authorities' which led to her death
The family of a British grandmother beheaded in Tenerife has demanded to know why her killer was released from a UK psychiatric unit only months before her barbaric murder.
Speaking yesterday after Bulgarian drug addict Deyan Deyanov was found guilty of murdering Jennifer Mills-Westley in May 2011, her daughters said the tragedy was 'avoidable' and their mother had been let down by a 'catalogue of failings'.
Deyanov, 29, a homeless Bulgarian, faces up to 20 years in a secure psychiatric unit. He killed Mrs Mills-Westley, 60, then ran through the streets carrying her head.
A paranoid schizophrenic, he had been allowed to leave a specialist unit in Wales seven months earlier.
Scroll down for video
Guilty: Deyan Deyanov (on left in picture on right) was convicted of the murder of British grandmother Jennifer Mills-Westley (right)
Paranoid: Deyanov is a paranoid schizophrenic who said he was an angel of Jesus Christ
The victim's daughter Sarah, 43, read
a statement on behalf of her and sister Samantha, 39, outside the
Spanish court, saying: 'It's hard to put into words the devastating
impact that this preventable and needless act has had on us as a family,
sadly Mum was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
'Lessons must be learnt from this tragic event to ensure justice is done for our mum and to ensure that no other family has to be subjected to this ordeal. It is clear to us that there has been a catalogue of failings.'
'We will be asking the Welsh health authority to carry out a full inquiry.'
Drug-user Deyanov was sectioned under the Mental Health Act and admitted to Glan Clwyd Hospital's Ablett Psychiatric Unit in North Wales in summer 2010.
But he left the unit in October that year and moved to Tenerife, where his drug use and mental health problems worsened.
There was a warrant out for his arrest three days before the murder but police failed to locate him.
Devastated: Mrs Mills-Westley daughters arrive in court to hear the result of the case
Footage: CCTV footage of the fatal attack on Ms Mills-Westley (right) was shown in court (left). After being shown the video Deyanov said it was 'a montage, a film' and claimed that he did not recognise himself
Asked if there was anything he wanted to say after the verdict was read out, Deyanov then declared to a hushed courtroom: 'I am the second reincarnation of Jesus Christ and I will bring the fire of the Holy Spirit to bear against this court.'
He carried out the attack in
the popular resort of Los Cristianos on May 13, 2011 in a shopping
centre that was already bustling with tourists of all nationalities.
The mother of two who split her time between homes in Tenerife and Norwich, Norfolk, was picked at random after voices in Deyanov's head ordered him to kill, the court heard.
But despite his schizophrenia, the jury found that Deyanov was guilty of murder under Spanish law because he took his victim by surprise and she could not defend herself.
Wearing an olive green hoodie, black tracksuit trousers and running shoes, Deyanov remained quiet and still as the verdict was read out.
The victim's daughters Samantha, 39, and Sarah, 43, have attended the entire trial of their mother's killer since it began on Monday. They were accompanied by Sarah's partner Brian Moore, 41, the victim's brother John Smith, 63, and sister-in-law, Julie Smith, 62.
Jennifer Mills-Westley (pictured at daughter Sarah's wedding) was described
by her family as someone who was 'full of life, generous of heart and
would do anything for anyone'.
60-year-old was a mother of two daughters - Sarah and Sam - and
grandmother of five who was living life to the full in the 'eternal
spring' of the Canary Islands.
Originally from Norwich, Norfolk, she had worked as a road safety officer with Norfolk County Council.
In that role, Ms Mills-Westley taught schoolchildren cycling safety training and she was described by colleagues as 'popular and well-respected'.
She had
retired and settled in Tenerife, where she owned two apartments in the
Port Royale complex on the hillside edge of Los Cristianos.
One two-bedroom flat was rented out while she lived in the other and had been resident there for at least 10 years.
Neighbours described her as 'quiet and peaceful and always immaculately dressed'.
With one of her daughters living in France and the other in Norwich, she enjoyed travelling to pay visits to her family.
In a poignant tribute following her death, her ex-husband Peter told The Mail on Sunday she was a 'wonderful woman, a brilliant mother and I loved her dearly.'
Reading the statement outside court, Sarah Mills-Westley, who lives in the Midi-Pyrenees region of France said: 'Despite our expectations, we have been disappointed by the lack of any other support - notably the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and our mum's MP in her hometown of Norwich.
'Whilst today closes one chapter, we will have to live with the painful consequences for the rest of our lives.
'We ask that we are now granted privacy after an extremely difficult and emotional week.'
Asked if the family would talk to authorities in the UK to find out why Deyanov was released from hospital in Wales, she said: 'We will be asking the Welsh Health Authority to conduct a full inquiry into what happened in particular around his treatment in the UK.'
Ms Mills-Westley said the care of people like Deyanov should be taken more seriously.
She said: 'Since the May 13 2011, Jennifer Mills-Westley has become known as the lady who was beheaded in Tenerife.
'The truth is she was our mum, our mentor and our best friend.
'She was a highly gifted, selfless person with so much love in her heart and who has been taken away from us in her prime.
'It's hard to put into words the devastating impact that this preventable and needless act has had on us as a family - sadly mum was in the wrong place at the wrong time.'
The family thanked the jury of nine for sitting through the harrowing trial.
She added: 'But while today sees the conclusion of the legal process, lessons must be learnt from this tragic event to ensure justice is done for our mum and to ensure that no other family has to be subjected to this ordeal.
'It is clear to us that there has been a catalogue of failings - unfortunately it is now left to us to piece these together as we still have so many unanswered questions.
'We would like to make a plea that the care of people like Deyan Valentinov Deyanov is taken more seriously.
'He is a young man who has clearly been failed by a number of authorities, in the UK, Spain and most likely others.'
Deyanov, who earlier claimed in court to be 'an angel of Jesus Christ', had denied murder, claiming security camera footage of him carrying out the gruesome murder was 'a montage'.
Answering questions in Bulgarian with the help of an interpreter, Deyanov also told the court he is haunted by voices which tell him how to act.
He claimed they were telling him he was 'an angel of Jesus Christ who is going to create a new Jerusalem', adding: 'They direct how I act, sometimes they say kill, fight, hit, pray.'
Prosecutor Angel Garcia Rodriguez asked for the maximum sentence of 20 years in a secure psychiatric ward to be imposed.
Defence lawyer Francisco Beltran said the former timeshare dealer should get the minimum sentence of 15 years, saying Deyanov was 'a sick man who requires help'.
He has blamed Spanish authorities for the murder, telling the court: 'He might as well have been carrying a sign saying "I'm a bomb and I could explode at any moment",' defence lawyer Francisco Beltran said.
'Responsibility must fall to some extent with the health authorities in the Canary Islands,' he added.
'My client is a sick man, not a criminal, and he should have been diagnosed and treated.
'Why was he not diagnosed and treated properly? He was suffering from acute paranoid schizophrenia. Why was he released?'
Business as usual: The shop where Mrs Mills-Westley was attacked was trading again less than 24 hours after the killing
Amateur footage: After watching the CCTV footage, Deyanov said it was 'a montage, a film' and claimed that he did not recognise himself in the images
Tackled to the ground: He also denied that he had lived in Wales, where he was sectioned in the summer of 2010 under the Mental Health Act at Glan Clwyd Hospital
Deyanov, a Bulgarian immigrant who took crack cocaine and LSD, was arrested several times for outbursts of violence in the months leading up to the murder.
After one arrest he was admitted on January 18 in 2011 to a psychiatric unit at the island's Candalaria hospital.
But he was released on February 4, despite suffering from serious mental health problems.
Earlier the jury heard Deyanov killed her by slashing her throat from behind with the knife, meant for cutting Spanish ham.
She died within seconds but he then spent up to five minutes removing her head, a pathologist said.
Angel Perez Martinez told the jury Deyanov used 'great force' to sever the head with 'a practically uncountable number of cuts. It is very difficult to remove a head with a knife of this sort,' he said.
would have taken minutes - three, four, five minutes.'
Mrs Mills-Westley also had cuts on her hands where she had tried in vain to fight off her attacker, he said.
Deyanov's DNA was also found under her fingernails, the court heard.
Judge Maria Jesus Garcia Sanchez will sentence Deyanov, the son of a millionaire former communist party chief, at a later date.
Deyanov had denied murder. His defence had argued he was not criminally responsible for his actions because he suffers acute paranoid schizophrenia.
He faces a sentence of 15 to 20 years in a psychiatric unit. Deyanov's sentence will be announced in a written statement in the coming weeks.
On trial: The defendant said he had been using crack cocaine and LSD before his arrest, but had no memory of living in Tenerife
Drug-addled drifter: Deyanov was a drifter who
had lived in Tenerife and Wales where in 2010 he was sectioned under the
mental health act
His victim, a retired road safety worker originally from Norwich, was attacked while she was in a Chinese-owned general store near the beach.
That morning, Deyanov had walked into another shop and asked for a knife 'this big' because he was going to kill someone.
At 10.30am he went into the Mas Articulos Mejor Precios shop on Avenida Juan Carlos I, picked up a 22cm-long knife and plunged it repeatedly into Ms Mills-Westley's neck.
He then walked out carrying her head, to the horror of onlookers, before being wrestled to the ground and arrested.
Living rough in Los Cristianos, the crack cocaine and LSD user was well-known to police on the island and had been arrested at least four times since January 2011 for violent offences.
A warrant for his arrest had been issued just three days before the killing but officers were unable to locate him.
He had previously been sectioned in the summer of 2010 under the Mental Health Act in Glan Clwyd Hospital, North Wales, and again at Tenerife's La Candelaria hospital before being bailed in early February 2011.

What is the Difference Between Prequalification and Pre - Approval?
An in depth explanation to help serious house hunters in their mortgage search.
1.What is the difference between pre-qualification and pre-approval?
Prequalification takes about an hour and is conducted by a licensed loan originator or broker working for a particular lender. To obtain prequalification, applicants need to provide an application and have their credit pulled. Once this information is obtained and reviewed by the lender an applicant will be awarded prequalification status. Although this can be helpful for buyers to know where they stand it does not necessarily lock in their rate or guarantee a particular loan at a given price point.
Pre-approval is different than prequalification in that your information has been underwritten by an authorized Underwriter. Mortgage lenders often provide in-house Underwriters because they can approve you for a home loan quickly and efficiently. Upon receiving a valid pre-approval, your next step is finding the right home for the right price. Once you find that home, and it appraises for the agreed upon price or higher, you should be able to close your loan in a short period of time.
To get pre-approved for a home loan be sure to fill out your mortgage application in its entirety, by leaving parts blank or incomplete you will only make the process harder on yourself. You will also need to provide certain documents concerning your assets, income, and employment.
In order to ensure your home purchase goes as seamlessly as possible consumers are better off applying for a pre-approval because it helps them truly have an idea as to what their budget is and protects them from hidden surprises once they find a house and apply for the loan. If you have a pre-approval in hand it shows your real estate agent and the seller that you are a serious home buyer; in this market it is extremely important to the sellers that their prospective buyers have been pre-approved.
2.Is it still worth refinancing in the current market?
The rule of thumb used to be that if you could lower your interest rate by one point or more then it is worthwhile for you to refinance. Now, this is not necessarily the case. In today's market it might make sense for you to refinance even if you can lower your rate by only one quarter or one half percent. If the lender can pay your closing costs as well as give you a lower interest rate than your current one it might be time to take a serious look at refinancing. If the new rate saves you enough money on your monthly principal and interest payment, it may make sense to refinance even though the new interest rate would allow you to save less than one point.
I want to refinance to secure a lower interest rate, what do I need to know?
Refinancing to save money is like making an investment, and when you lower your monthly payment by locking in a lower interest rate it is the return on your investment. Before you refinance for a lower interest rate you need to know how much it will cost to refinance, how much you will save per month, and then decide if your savings are large enough to justify the closing costs of the loan. Some consumers can qualify for "No cost" refinances that will immediately impact their savings while others can save thousands of dollars a years by lowering their interest rate by even one half percent. Look for a mortgage with few or no points, even if it has a slightly higher rate.
What's the smartest plan when it comes to keeping my home equity loan open or closed when refinancing my first mortgage?
If you currently have a Home Equity Line of Credit and are considering refinancing your first mortgage, you must review your current personal situation to come up with the best plan of action. You have to determine if you need the access to the line of credit for emergencies or other items.
When refinancing your first mortgage it may make sense to "roll in" and pay off the Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC). Although the Line of Credit appears quite appealing today due to a low interest rate and interest only payments, HELOC's do have the downside of being an adjustable rate mortgage, in most cases. These adjustable rate mortgages are usually tied to the Prime Rate and can adjust monthly. Most HELOC's have very high lifetime interest rate caps and can become quite a financial burden if you are highly leveraged on the credit. With today's incredibly low fixed rate first mortgages, it may be the right time to pay off and close the adjustable HELOC's for fixed payments and peace of mind.
3.Is the lowest mortgage rate always the best one to take?
Not necessarily. Let's use an example. Let's assume you have two quotes on a $200,000, 30 yr. fixed rate mortgage. One rate is 5.25% with no points, no closing costs and the other is 5.0% with no points, and $3000 in closing costs. The payment on option one would be $1104.41. The payment on option two is $1073.64. That is a difference of $30.77 on your monthly payment. So you have to consider the following. Should I pay $3000 now at the closing to save $30.77 a month? Well, $3000 divided by $30.77 is approximately 98. This means that it will take 98 months or 8.1 years to break even on your investment of $3000 in closing costs. If you were my client, I would suggest that you look at the higher rate and keep the $3000 in your pocket! Statistically, the likelihood of you moving, or at a minimum, doing something different with your mortgage within the next 8 years is extremely high. So why invest in the closing costs if you never break even?

The actors in Sting's musical "The Last Ship" have plenty of pressure these days. The show is making its Broadway debut. There are last-minute changes. And Sting is pacing in the darkness.
"I'm at the back there every night, mouthing every syllable, which is an extra burden the poor things have," says the Grammy Award-winner at the Neil Simon Theatre. "They know I'm listening."
Hearing this, one of the stars, Rachel Tucker, nods and laughs. "It's true," she says. "He'll be, 'Where was the 't' in 'light?'"
Sting's tremendous skills as a songwriter — not to mention his perfectionist streak — are both being tested with "The Last Ship," which opens Sunday.
The show marks his maiden voyage into composing musical theater and Sting seems tired, but game. Sitting beside Tucker in the theater's empty seats before a recent preview, he could see the finish line.
"It began as my dream and then became everybody's," he says. His lovely, powerfully voiced co-star mouths a "thank you" and bows in his direction.

The Youngtown Inn is a classic 1810 farmhouse built proudly upon two centuries of New England heritage. This grand old house was the center of Young family poultry and dairy farm for more than seven generations. Our intimate Inn offers six comfortable and tastefully decorated guest rooms with private baths. Some rooms offer queen canopy or sleigh beds, balconies and fireplaces. All rooms offer the convenience of free wireless internet. Seasonal rates available. The Youngtown Inn Restaurant offers elegant dining in gracious surroundings. Chef/owner Manuel Mercier draws upon his French heritage and European training to create an array of traditionally prepared dishes. Please take a moment to review one of the restaurant's sample menus as well as their extensive wine cellar offerings. Nestled in the Camden Hills, the inn is just five minutes away from Camden Harbor. Located halfway between Boothbay and Bar Harbor, it is the ideal location for exploring the Midcoast Region.

Maryann and Manuel are charming hosts.

The Hosts could not have been more accomodating. Upbeat and great info. Especially restaurant recommendation for Bar Harbor - Havana restaurant. Thanks, Larry and Ann

My husband and I were looking forward to our return trip to the Youngtown Inn and our beloved Maine. As always the room was beautiful and it felt very private. ManyAnn and Manuel were as gracious and MaryAnn even had my favorite flowers in the room upon our arrival. Our breakfasts were over the top and our dinner was top star!! We cannot wait for our visit next year!!!
3.8 on September 20, 2016
Our stay at Youngtown Inn was restful and quiet, yet we were minutes from shops, restaurants and breath-taking views of the Maine coast. We were well taken care of and had plenty of privacy. The breakfasts were delicious and so beautifully presented. Our room was clean and tastefully decorated with a balcony overlooking the countryside, which reminded us a bit of the south of France.
3.8 on September 16, 2016
From the welcoming smile and assistance with the bags to the decor, ambience and food the Youngtown Inn offers all you could want (from an Inn). Always with a smile, Maryann aims to please. You won't be disappointed.
5 on September 01, 2016
My husband and I (and our two tiny dogs) stayed at this lovely B&B for two nights in August, which is the perfect time of year to visit Maine. We were warmly greeted upon arrival and the owner, Maryanne, even carried my luggage upstairs to our room. We stayed in the beautiful pet friendly suite, which was perfectly appointed and quite comfortable. We enjoyed a gourmet breakfast both mornings, and our only disappointment is that we didn't get a chance to have dinner at the inn's restaurant, which has received rave reviews. The hospitality was warm, friendly and generous, and we hope to be able to return for another visit one day!
4.6 on August 24, 2016
This is a great place to stay for those visiting Camden. Highly recommended.

We booked a stay at the Youngtown in while attending a wedding in the area, and as guesthouse owners ourselves we were impressed with the friendliness of the proprietors in making our stay immensely enjoyable, the ambience of the property which was originally built in 1810, and the magnificent quality of the food. While we weren't able to partake in their dinner menu (which looked amazing!), their breakfast display was beautiful and delicious and we were very, very pleased with everything.
5 on August 18, 2016
My husband and I loved our stay at the Youngtown Inn and Restaurant. The inn has a lovely French feel. Our room had a balcony that overlooked the pretty countryside. The inn is in a great location, just a few miles out of Camden. The owners, MaryAnn and Manuel couldn't have been more helpful. After a sumptuous breakfast they gave us all sorts of options for our day's travels. Perhaps the best part of our stay was the amazing dinner. The highly acclaimed restaurant lived up to all of our expectations. The menu was French farm to table. All ingredients were locally sourced and our dinner was well priced. We cannot wait to return.

Who is the second strongest in the universe Gohan or Vegeta?
1,074,564questions onAdd New Page
According to Dragonball GT, Vegeta. However in GT Gohan never uses his "Mystic" powers which actually made him a lot more powerful than SSJ3 Goku in DBZ so stricty speaking gohan is capible of becoming more powerful than vegeta, but chooses not to or is incapible of doing so anymore.
A possible reason for this is that Gohan is known for taking long breaks from his training in the latter parts of the series, whereas Vegeta is constantly improving.

Climate Change and Food Security in South Asia

Assessing Impacts of Climate Change on Cereal Production and Food Security in Bangladesh

As a consequence of future climate change, agriculture is likely to be affected, which would also lead to risk of hunger and water resource scarcity with enhanced climate variability. Currently, the estimated population of Bangladesh stands at over 143.4 million and is likely to be 214.6 million in 2050. To keep pace with population growth and shrinking land resource base, the food production needs to be doubled by the year 2020. Cereal production more than doubled in the last 25 years and the production gains were achieved mainly due to yield increases.
A simulation study was conducted to assess the climate change related vulnerability of food grain production in Bangladesh. Four climate change scenarios (baseline, GFDL−TR = Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory Transient; HadCM2 = Hadley Centre Unified Model2 Transient ensemble and UKTR = UK Met. Office/Hadley Centre Transient) were used. Simulation runs were made for high yield varieties of rice for Aus (March−August), Aman (August−November), and Boro (February−July), the traditional growing seasons, using the CERES-Rice model. Simulation was carried out for wheat, which is grown from November through March, using the CERES-Wheat model. The detrimental effect of temperature rise was observed even with elevated CO2 levels. Considerable spatial and temporal variations were also noted. Impact of these changes on food security was also assessed.

I probably wasn't a good founder my first, second, third companies. By the fifth one, which ended up being AdMob, it worked out.
Entrepreneurship is like Battleship. Your failures map out your successful targets later.
I'm interested in the connections between technology and the physical world.
I'd say I'm an entrepreneur with a focus on product and technology. Significant experience in mobile, but with a general interest in consumer internet, as well.
The phone, in many ways, is the first "thing" in the internet of things. People are asking, "Why can't you take all the other items in my life and give them these powers that I now expect and understand?"
We're dealing with a user base that's effectively up-leveled. And companies that do what people now know is possible are being rewarded, quickly.
My first job was walking into small businesses and seeing if they needed help with their computers.
At AdMob we spent a lot of time talking about what was wrong. When people would visit our board meetings I'd have to prepare them ahead of time, basically saying, "Don't worry. The company's not falling apart. This is just how we are."
You can just be a lot more productive if you spend time on the things that aren't going well.
Avoid arrogance at all costs.
If you go to business school — or probably any professional school — with these highly motivated people, they're stressed out of their minds. As if they're going to be homeless if they don't get an internship in the summer.
People just greatly miscalculate risk, in my opinion. They're too afraid of things.
So many times I was sure something was going to work and it hit the market and fell flat.
If you can find someone who isn't afraid to tell you you're an idiot, and who really brightens your day when they give you some positive feedback, keep that person nearby.
I speak English, Arabic and Spanish. Un poquito.
Young entrepreneurs hear all this celebration of people who are difficult to work with and think, "Jeez, maybe I'm not doing this right. I need to be more aggressive, I need to be more rude."
At the end of the day, business is a transaction between people. And just being a decent human being goes a long way.
If you have to constantly look at what your competition is doing in order to guide your next step, you're not an entrepreneur. You're an opportunist.
My son was born nine weeks early and weighed three pounds at birth. Holding something so important, but so fragile, was the scariest thing I've ever experienced. Thankfully he did great after that and it all turned out wonderfully.
When things are going well you can always raise more money or hire more people. Your most limited resource is time.

Blog Flog: Wheat Berry & Chickpea Salad with Spinach, Apples and Feta
Is it weird that I get more excited about winter salads than the summer ones? I love hardy salads that give my jaw a workout. (At least part of me is working out, right?) Every winter I vow to keep a grainy, beany salad in my fridge to prevent myself from living on bagels and raisin toast (a hazard/benefit of having my office in the spare bedroom), and in fact, these kinds of salads actually improve after a few days in the fridge. Also- feeling virtuous over lunch is enough to keep me feeling more or less on the ball during the afternoon, sometimes propelling me out to do a power walk. Eating healthy things begets eating healthy things (and doing healthy things). I even organized my office this weekend, which was a monumental task. I blame the salads. I love adding chopped apples to salads – not only are they always around, they add sweetness, tartness and crunch to just about any salad, fromContinue reading

One of the most unsung heavy rock bands to emerge during the '90s, "desert rock" quartet Kyuss has a legitimate claim as its decade's Velvet Underground. While they didn't receive their due during the band's existence, the influential music made by current Queens of the Stone Age honcho Josh Homme, lead singer John Garcia, and a monolithic original rhythm section that featured drummer Brant Bjork and bassist Nick Oliveri inspired a legion of down-tuned disciples on both sides of the Atlantic. After the group's demise, the various members of Kyuss -- including latter-day bassist Scott Reader and original Queens drummer Alfredo Hernandez -- produced enough albums from a myriad of projects, including Homme's Desert Sessions recordings, Garcia's bands Unida and Hermano, Oliveri's Mondo Generator, and Bjork's many outfits, that you could start a cottage industry just focusing on their output.
Last year, Garcia thrilled European fans when he toured his Garcia Sings Kyuss project, which culminated with Bjork and Oliveri joining the singer onstage for a two-song encore at Hellfest in Clisson, France. The reunion inspired the formation of Kyuss Lives!, a celebration of the now-legendary band that gives those original members and their fans a chance to relive the brilliance of Kyuss with Belgian guitarist Bruno Fevery filling Homme's sizable shoes. Garcia recently spoke to All Shook Down about his opinion of Kyuss Lives! naysayers and the band's plans to record new material ahead of their upcoming show at the Regency Ballroom on Saturday, Nov. 19.
It's odd to me that some people are dismissive of Kyuss Lives! because Josh Homme isn't involved, saying if Josh isn't there it's not Kyuss and that he wrote most of the songs. If you look at the songwriting credits on those albums, everybody in the band was writing. Brant Bjork wrote some of the best songs on those first two Kyuss records in my opinion.
You know, those people have the total fucking right to say whatever, that it's not Kyuss. Well, why the fuck do people think we're not calling it Kyuss? It's Kyuss Lives! We can't call it Kyuss, nor do we want to. That's a huge respect thing to Josh. We can't and we won't. We're celebrating our past. We're revisiting our past and something else is coming out of it: a new record. If those people want to shine it, fucking hats off, have a great time! Later! What we're saying is that this is about as close as you're ever going to get to seeing Kyuss. And if you want to come and have a couple pops, as Brant likes to say, and celebrate some of the music that maybe you grew up with, then that's totally cool.
A lot of people want there to be a lot of animosity between Josh and I. And they want that because they're so fucking bored with their own lives that they need other people's drama to help make their lives feel more complete. Well, guess what? There is no fucking drama. There is no animosity between Josh and I. We're great friends. I love Josh Homme and I have a mad amount of respect for him. To those people, I say go suck three bags of dicks. Get off my back about it. People forget Brant was a huge writer with Kyuss. There's only one record that was done without Brant. So to say we're playing a majority of Josh's songs, those people can suck three bags of dicks as well.
And I'm not saying that directly towards you, but this is an ongoing thing. I've had to fight these fights over in Europe and now that we're touring the states I'm fighting these fights again. People have got to realize, and I've got to set the record straight. If people were to see me and Josh talking onstage in France about a couple months ago, they would see a different story. All of Queens came up onstage and gave each other hugs. It's an awesome thing and a great relationship. I couldn't be more proud of it.
You had recorded with Bruno Fevery and his band Arsenal. Was he the only person you approached for playing guitar with Garcia Sings Kyuss, or did you have an audition process?
My first and only choice for the job of filling some very big shoes -- and he has and he's shown Josh Homme's music an incredible amount of respect -- was Bruno Fevery. I knew it and Hendrik Williams -- the main guy from Arsenal -- he knew it. He even referred him to me. He said "Dude, if you ever need a guy to do Kyuss, Bruno would be the man." We played a couple of songs on that Arsenal record and we fucked around and practiced some other stuff. He's so mild mannered and cool and calm. He reminds me of a young Jimmy Page. He shows Josh Homme's songs and Brent's and Nick's and my songs incredible respect. He is a quarter of this band. If you don't know who Bruno Fevery is now, come to one of these shows and I guarantee you'll know.
Did you and Nick and Brant collectively decide you had to do this on a larger scale immediately after playing together at Hellfest, or did it take a little more discussion and time?
It took a little bit of time. I had sat on it for a while and I wondered what Brent would say if I asked him to do not just one more show but 22 more shows -- actually touring under the name Kyuss Lives! to help promote Garcia vs. Garcia [the singer's long-awaited solo album]. I thought about [it], and wrote Brent an email and we had several discussions on it. I made it very clear that I was doing it for one reason and one reason only: to help promote Garcia vs. Garcia. Then I gave Nick a call and told him of my intentions and that Brent had said yes, and would he like to mirror the feelings he had on stage at Clisson, France? And he gave me the thumbs up, and Bruno was in, so to make a long story short, Garcia vs. Garcia has been put on the back burner once again. I'm doing this full force.

Delta and American Airlines have announced that they will no longer transport lion, leopard, elephant, rhinoceros and buffalo hunting 'trophies', following the worldwide controversy over the killing of Cecil the lion.
Until recently, Delta had said it would allow such cargo to be transported on its aircraft, as long as they were the products of legal hunts.
Delta runs more flights to Africa than any other American airline, making it a popular choice for the 15,000 American hunters who visit the continent on hunting safaris each year, according to figures from nonprofit group Conservation Force.
American Airlines operates fewer flights to the continent, but still made their new policy clear in a tweet, which they said was "effective immediately".
