Holy See–Vietnam relations
Holy See
Holy See–Vietnam relations are foreign relations between the Holy See and Vietnam. Diplomatic relations have never been established between the two entities.
Before the independence of Vietnam there already existed, since 1925, an Apostolic Delegation (a non-diplomatic mission accredited to the Catholic Church in the area) for Indochina, based in Hanoi. After the expulsion of its staff by the North Vietnamese authorities, the headquarters of the Apostolic Delegation was moved to Saigon in 1957. In 1964, responsibility for relations with the Church in Laos was transferred to the Apostolic Delegation in Bangkok and the Saigon-based mission was renamed Apostolic Delegation for Vietnam and Cambodia.
Cambodia and the Holy See established diplomatic relations in 1994 and the name of the Apostolic Delegation was again changed, this time to Apostolic Delegation for Vietnam. Meanwhile, with the end of the Vietnam War, the Apostolic Delegate was forced to leave. Since an apostolic delegation, unlike an embassy, is not a bilateral institution with involvement by the State, the Apostolic Delegation for Vietnam has not been suppressed, but has remained inactive since 1975.[1]
Temporary missions from the Holy See to discuss with the Government matters of common interest are sent every year or two, and there has been at least one visit to the Vatican by a Vietnamese mission.
The Communist Party of Vietnam officially promoted atheism, causing Roman Catholics and other Christians to be associated with the anti-communist South Vietnam region. This has strained relations between the Holy See and the Hanoi Government. Leading bishops have been imprisoned for several years, in what some observers have described as a persecution of the Vietnamese Church.
Prime Minister Nguyễn Tấn Dũng and Pope Benedict XVI met at the Vatican on 25 January 2007 in a "new and important step towards establishing diplomatic ties".[2] The first meeting of the Vietnam-Holy See Joint Working Group was convened in Hanoi from 16–17 February 2009.[3] The Pope met with President Nguyễn Minh Triết on 11 December 2009. Vatican officials called the meeting "a significant stage in the progress of bilateral relations with Vietnam."[4] The Vietnam–Holy See Joint Working Group met for a second time in June 2010.[5]
There is also a question of Church property confiscated by the Vietnamese government and that the Church has sought to recover.
In January 2011 the Holy See appointed the first envoy,[6] formally "non-resident representative to Vietnam" with Archbishop Leopoldo Girelli being the first to hold the post in addition to Archbishop Girelli's other roles as Apostolic Nuncio to Singapore and Apostolic Delegate to Malaysia.

Santa Ana County, New Mexico Territory
Santa Ana County was one of the seven original partidos created in New Mexico under Mexican rule. Under U.S. rule, it became a U.S. Territorial county from 1852 until 1876, when it was absorbed by Bernalillo County. It does not exist today as an administrative unit. The original county seat of Santa Ana County is what is now Fort Defiance, Arizona. The county was named after the Pueblo of Santa Ana.
The area enclosed by the original Santa Ana County was in Judicial District No. 1 from 1847 to 1863, then in JD 2 until 1876, when it was absorbed by Bernalillo County.

A person's actions depict the heart,
not the words they say. ~ Brian Lee
by Pete Ferguson
Over the weekend, my wife and I heard a great piece of advice - when you meditate, bring your children with you.
At first it sounded very counterintuitive, when we meditate, it is to escape the pressures of life, relax and enjoy the quiet. But the speaker went on to clarify - when you meditate, take the talents, challenges, and struggles of a child with you in your heart. This helps you to bond with the child while physically detached and find creative solutions - inspiration - that might not otherwise come.
Great advice.
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye. ~ Antoine De Saint-Exupery
Steph's grandfather turned 93 in December. He went in for a routine hip surgery last summer and unfortunately has not been home since, living out his final days in a nursing home and now hospital. He's a real fighter though, tough through and through.
And he is also a great example of someone who keeps his kids, grand kids, and great grand kids in his heart. At 93, he remembers things well and asks the kids about their instruments and hobbies.
My own grandfathers contracted cancer shortly after retiring and died when I was in my teens. Both also exemplified this ability to be outside of themselves when it came to their grandchildren, unfortunately both died before I was 20. But their examples of hard work and integrity live on with me - in my heart.
There is a road from the eye to heart that does
not go through the intellect. ~ Gilbert K. Chesterton
This week in the US is Valentine's Day. A lot of corny and overly sugary rhetoric will be strewn about regarding the heart.
But unlike the popular TV ad of "what's in your wallet" regarding how to go into debt to buy stuff, think instead about what's in your heart?
Forgiving, letting go, and allowing other people's poison to be washed down the drain is a great relief.
Loving, accepting, and allowing people in is very uplifting, empowering, and rejuvenating.
So, ask yourself the question,
"What's in My Heart?"
Views: 111
Peter beautiful and I totally agree - the heart is the core of our being and intentionally keeping our children and loved ones and their hopes and dreams with us - releasing hurt, bitterness, offense and resentment will certainly go much further than spending money on more "things" most of us don't need anyway!

I remember hearing this idea somewhere that courage was not the absence of fear, but rather, the ability to do something in the presence of it.
I am scared of being on a boat. I always was. When I was 18, I dated a guy who had a boat, and I decided to brave my fear and get on it for a three day voyage across the Mediterranean. I know, I could have started by peddling in a canoe in a pond, but no—three days, no sight of land.
There was a guy on the boat who was all tough and cool, and he kept saying, "Come on get over it."
He missed the point. I got over it. I was on the boat; that was about as much as I could do. Scared of it, and yet doing it.
I asked the cool, tough guy what he was afraid of, and he said horses. I happened to have a horse and to not be scared of them an ounce. I invited him to join me after the boat debacle. He said never. Aha! I was on the boat, and he would not come to ride a horse. Get my drift?
Well, I am scared of public speaking, and there I was last month doing a TEDx Talk. The fear was so strong some nights that I literally stayed up till dawn. But I did it. I loved it actually.
Maybe there is a direct link between how hard I imagined it would be and how joyful it felt to complete it.
As long as we don't let it stop us, fear is a friend, believe it or not. It ignites more power inside of us, so we can jump higher. It is the fear, the managed fear that fuels our engines.
I am still scared of boats and speaking in public, and I am still going to do both. I have never spoken to anyone who said they were afraid of doing something and regretted doing it after they overcame their fear.
We feel good when we overcome our fears. We know we are bigger than them.
We know that we are meant to transcend them.
That is why we love watching athletes push beyond the average boundaries. We instinctively know what they had to overcome to get to where we see them. And to witness someone overcome their fear is a sure way to ignite our engines!

can I use a valid US driver? its an application to renew my green card.
My driver licence does not have my full name on it. Actually most states don't put the full name on the licence. They usually have just first and last name.
That should work because it contains your photo and dateof birth. Now, if you can also obtain a consular ID, that would be very helpful.
No. They will not accept an expired passport. Go to the embassy or consul in NY and see if they can stamp an extension in your passport. Many countries will do so. Depending what country you are from there may be a consul in Paterson or Newark, as well.Ask a similar question

Biblical exegesis is an explanation or critical interpretation of the Bible. The term is taken from the Greek word ἐξηγεῖσθαι, which means "to lead out."
Traditional biblical exegesis includes such things as the following: research the historical-cultural background, confirm the limits of the passage, be thoroughly acquainted with your paragraph or pericope, analyze syntactical relationships and sentence structures, analyze the grammar, and analyze significant words. [1] True Biblical exegesis requires a degree of inspiration from the Holy Spirit. Without faith, one cannot extract all the meaning from the Holy Scripture.

Posted August 22, 2011
Raleigh, N.C. — North Carolina emergency management officials were updating hurricanes plans on Monday in preparation for the possible effects of Hurricane Irene, which could become a Category 3 storm before some forecast models show it clipping the state on Saturday.
State emergency officials were checking "pre-landfall operations" to make sure equipment such as trucks, forklifts, generators and computers were working, said Ernie Seneca, spokesman for the state Department of Crime Control and Public Safety. Also, they were taking inventory of food and water supplies "in case it comes to that point where we have to provide that to people who suffer losses or have to be evacuated," he said.
WRAL Hurricane Center with interactive tracker
"We are too far out to really look at the prediction with very much reliability," said Mike Sprayberry, deputy director of the North Carolina Division of Emergency Management. "We are trying to make a plan for anything at this point."
The U.S. National Hurricane Center said that Irene has maximum sustained winds of 100 mph and was moving about 10 mph. It was upgraded to a Category 2 hurricane Monday evening.
The storm could grow into a Category 3 hurricane, with winds of 115 mph, over the Bahamas on Thursday. It might carry that force northwest along Florida's Atlantic coast and toward a possible strike on South Carolina, though the forecasters warned that, by the weekend, the storm's path could vary significantly from the current projection.
If it hits North Carolina, Sprayberry said, severe winds, riverine flooding or a coastal storm surge are likely.
WRAL Chief Meteorologist Greg Fishel said while the potential for the storm to affect North Carolina is there, there is no need to panic.
"It could stay off shore and never make landfall, that is a distinct possibility," Fishel said. "There is still so much uncertainty that to hang your hat on one solution is simply ridiculous at this point in time."
Irene cut power to more than a million people in Puerto Rico, downing trees and flooding streets on Monday.
NC gears up for possible Irene hit
The strengthening storm was headed for Hispaniola, the island shared by the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Nearly 600,000 people in Haiti still live without shelter after last year's earthquake. The center of the hurricane was expected to miss Haiti.
The hurricane is expected to pass near or over the Turks and Caicos Islands and the southeastern Bahamas on Tuesday.
Irene is the first hurricane of the Atlantic hurricane season.
The last storm to make landfall in North Carolina was Hurricane Isabel, which killed 33 people and caused $1.6 billion in damage in September 2003. Other recent storms have caused significant damage in North Carolina, including Frances and Ivan, which tracked through western North Carolina in 2004, causing mudslides and an estimated $44 million in damages. Other recent storms that left a lasting impression on the state include Fran in 1996, Floyd in 1999 and Hugo in 1989, which made landfall in Isle of Palms, S.C., and tracked through Charlotte.
This story is closed for comments.
I would like to know what are all the shelter in NC,and SC going to do with all the poor animals in the shelters? Do they plan on killing them ALL off before the hurricane hits? OR; are they going toact like e realy human and transport them to shelters out west to be safe untill it's over and safe to come back. I will keep a eye on this and will report it to CNN, 20/20, and world news tonight on the effects of animal abuse.
"I'd like to see the documentation where they recorded 131 mph winds when Fran came through. The max wind gust at RDU was 74 mph and I seriously doubt that it gusted to 131 anywhere inland. I was here for Fran and I know that the winds never reached that velocity.
It's SOP to wildly exaggerate all weather conditions. It's ALWAYS the hottest, coldest, wettest, driest, windiest and so on and so forth. These deliberate lies are designed to keep people glued to their TVs and radios for the sake of the sponsors.
A hurricane's path "not set in stone". SERIOUSLY???? When IS anything weather related (besides sunrise, sunset and the moon phase) EVER "set in stone".
The area (Triangle) was very wet in 1996 when Fran came inland. The devastation was terrible but the ground conditions are very different today as it is so dry. I think the winds were around 70 mph w that storm when it came to this area, not to say gusts were not greater.
"Another thing is when a hurricane makes landfall and encounters mountainous or hilly torain the upper level winds strenghten before it weakens and thats why they clocked 131 mph winds on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill when they were 115 mph at the beach. I would had rather been at the beach then here in OC. I been cutting trees for 15 yrs from Frans damage.

I remember Fran very well, especially after the trees landed on my vehicle and house, and we spent 1/2 the night bailing water out the front door into a deluge of rain! While I'm not panicky, I will keep a close eye on what's happening and do what I need to do.
For those of you thinking your to far inland think again.Fran rolled right through my front yard up here in Orange County and unlike the coast we are heavily wooded and it made a mess like ive never seen and Ive spent 24 yrs in Mn and WI blizzards and tornado alley. Theres nothing like having 120 mph winds turning every branch and tree into projectiles.Another thing is when a hurricane makes landfall and encounters mountainous or hilly torain the upper level winds strenghten before it weakens and thats why they clocked 131 mph winds on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill when they were 115 mph at the beach.

I don't intend to panic. But I will stay tuned and do what I need to do when I need to.
FYI - WRAL.com has the BEST weather coverage of ANY local news station in NC. Period. Undisputable.

Pneumonia is the leading cause of death among children under 5 and the majority is concentrated in only a handful of countries.
Pneumonia is both a preventable and treatable disease. That's why today, November 12th, the United Nations Foundation, UNICEF, GAVI Alliance, and World Heatlh Organization have come together to raise awareness about Pneumonia and 5 simple ways we can reduce the premature deaths related to the disease.
One of the biggest causes of pneumonia comes the smoke of indoor cooking fires, which affects nearly 3 billion people. By getting clean cookstoves, such as the BioLite HomeStove, into more households and reducing these harmful emissions, we can help eradicate one of the leading contributors to childhood pneumonia.

We own two of these. We've had them both for at least a year maybe two and they're still working. My kids love the choice of lights and want them as their night lights.
I really like the way it is designed
I received the diffuser quickly. It operates very well. I really like the way it is designed. The airflow hole is on the outside of the bowl where you put the water and essential oil, therefore preventing damage to the unit with accidentally getting water in the airflow hole. It could still be done, but it is not as likely as with other diffusers I have had. So far, I am very happy with my purchase of this diffuser.
Five Stars
Love it!!!
I love this product
I love this product, it is very nice that it can go for long periods of time. I diffuse a lot of oils so that is nice be able to put some oils in and let it go. This works great in my daughters room as it can double for a night light.
Great product. Setting whatever color you want is great
Great product. Setting whatever color you want is great, or you can have it slowly rotate through colors. 500 ml tank is perfect for the whole day! I've bought several MIU oil 'diffusers', and can't be happier. Great deal for the price!

Eli parked his pickup along the edge of the gravel lot and headed toward the entrance of Black Creek Bar. It was the only bar in the area and was located a few miles outside of the town that anchored the rural community of farmland and pastures separated by the large tracts of pine. Eli hesitated at the door for he was nervous, afraid of what could happen but he had to see this to its conclusion. It had gnawed at his insides ever since the night before when it happened. He didn't know what he was thinking. It was crazy how he thought it was a good idea and now he was afraid everyone in the bar would know what happened. He hoped not, but would years of friendship be enough to keep Parker from telling the others what he had tried last night. He took a deep breath and reached for the door telling himself how he was about to find out.
The bar had it usual Thursday night crowd, the pool tables all occupied and half the bar stools. Country music played on the jukebox overlaid with the talking and laughter of everyone inside. Eli looked down at the back pool table knowing it was where Parker would be hanging out. It was Parker's spot, his skill at pool insuring him a long night at the table. There were several guys and girls around the table each holding a beer and watching Parker make one more shot as he worked his way around the table sinking the stripes with his usual skill.
Eli approached the table and Parker was facing away from him. He did not bother to go to the bar first fearfully assuming he may be leaving sooner rather than later. Hunter was leaning against the steel column that separated the area of the pool tables from the main bar and he nodded to El. As Eli moved into the group's circle Hunter stood up from the column and moved toward him.
'He doesn't know' Eli thought as Hunter moved to his side.
"You have to work tomorrow?" Hunter asked.
"Yep; we have a house underway and I'm to be there at seven thirty in the morning ready to start the roof framing" Eli replied.
"You didn't get a beer?" Hunter asked noticing how Eli had his hands in his pockets.
"It's because he's not staying" Parker interjected and Eli and Hunter realized he was now standing next to Hunter. "Ain't that right?" Parker added as he stared at Eli.
"Look..." and Eli reconsidered what he was going to say and he looked down at the floor and gathered his thoughts. When he looked back up Hunter saw it, the sadness in his face like he'd never seen before, but Eli stiffened his resolve and stood up straight. "Okay, I'm leaving...this time" he exclaimed as he moved past Parker heading for the door.
Hunter was stunned for he had no idea what was going on between them. He stood shocked as he watched Eli leave and when the door closed behind him Hunter turned to ask Parker what in the hell was going on but Parker was back to the game aiming his next shot.
Hunter watched Parker go through his routine of aiming noticing Parker seemed to be rushing it and when he shot the ball bounced off the side just before the pocket and rolled back across the table toward Parker.
"Fuck" Parker uttered and he turned from the table heading toward the bar.
Hunter turned to Raymond who had been playing Parker and was one of their former classmates in school. "What was that all about?"
"I have no idea but Parker has been a moody bastard all evening and when he saw Eli walk in you should have heard the cussing he was doing under his breath."
Hunter turned and watched Parker talking to Lisa at the bar, flirting and laughing, and it was obvious Parker would be taking her back to his place, like he always did when no one else was available. Lisa was always his fall back when he was looking for sex.
Hunter wondered what had happened between Eli and Parker and it pained him for the three of them had been inseparable since they were very young. All through years of church, school and the long hot summers they had hung out together. But he knew things were changing between them, had been for a while, probably since high school and he knew part of the problem; the part that involved him.
He turned his beer bottle up and drained out the last of it, set the bottle down on a table and headed toward the men's room. The dark dirty room was a long narrow room with a lavatory on one end and a trough along one wall with a stream of water running through it. The trough was an old metal tank cut in half and anchored to the wall. It was dirty, wasteful and provided no privacy if more than one were using it. For Hunter it gave him the opportunity to check out the other guys, to sneak a peek at their cocks. It was such a tease for him, this temptation, but in this small community he took what he could get for anything more scared him. He was afraid of losing his friends. He'd heard the disparaging comments of gays over the years and it was a bad as his grandfather's racist comments, which also disturbed him.
He was alone this time and his eyes scanned the graffiti on the wall not really reading any of it for he was thinking about Parker and Eli. At the lavatory he looked in the mirror, the edge cracked and the reflective coating coming from the back around the perimeter and it seemed appropriate the way his reflection was so broken up, incomplete with pieces of himself missing. He was missing something.
He ran his wet hand through his reddish brown hair pushing it back from his forehead and out of his eyes. His green eyes stared back at him. At times like this he didn't feel like a man, someone twenty one years old. Instead he saw the freckles over his nose and under his eyes, saw the way he barely needed to shave, the kid he was when he was fourteen or fifteen, a kid who was struggling with his feelings, his attractions, attractions that focused too often on Parker and Eli.
At first it was Parker, who among the three of them had filled out first, his body grown muscular, and he had began shaving so much earlier than Eli or himself. He had been a tow headed boy whose hair whose hair eventually darkened to a light brown and each summer the bright hot sun would bleach it out, make it have blonde streaks in it which with Parker's dark skin and brown eyes made him so attractive, always being hit on by the girls. Even in school when they were in the tenth grade Parker had girls in the upper classes hitting on him. He played football and baseball which made him popular. And Hunter had worshiped him, done whatever Parker had wanted to do.
Eli had been like Hunter until the ninth grade and he shot up in height and his lean build made him seem ungainly. But he worked out with Parker, tried to play football, and then tried basketball and found the sport he was good at, the sport that took advantage of his build and he filled out, not like Parker, but more a runner's build, or a swimmer's build, tall and lean. Eli's fair skin contrasted sharply with his black hair but Hunter knew from seeing his friend change clothes or shower in gym he had the smoothest most blemish free skin he had ever seen. Only two small moles at the base of his neck on the right side were the only blemishes, but they really were not blemishes, not to Hunter. There were times it was Eli that drew his attention more than Parker, for Eli was more generous as a person, gentle in the way he dealt with others and it made Hunter wonder what he would be like in bed.
He threw water in his face once again, the cold water felt good and it brought him back into the current moment focusing his thoughts about Eli and Parker to the current situation.
Eli knew eventually Parker would tell someone what happened. He saw the anger in his face, the pure disgust, and Eli knew he was about to have to deal with it. Why did he try something like that, and with Parker of all people? He tossed and turned in bed for most of the night and at six thirty made himself get up and get ready for work. He felt like a zombie. The drive back into town and to the job site didn't take long and he was soon setting the ladders in place and getting ready to frame up the roof.
All morning he berated himself, asking over and over 'why now' or 'why with Parker'. He felt the conflict stir within him, this ache he didn't understand. He'd dated girls all through high school and for three years, up until last winter, he had dated Carol seriously, even talking of marriage. All through that time he never gave serious consideration to anything sexual with another man. But he had toyed with the thought, let the idea float in his mind when others joked around about gay sex and after breaking up with Carol he found himself online looking at sites for gays, watching videos of sex. It made him hard and he masturbated often to the videos. And he began to look at guys differently.
He wondered if he could really do those things, wondered what it would feel like and if it would be so different than sex with a woman. Guys on the job site with their shirts off or in some sleeveless shirt revealing their arms would capture his eye and he found himself looking at their crotches checking them out. He even stole glances at the guys who pissed against a tree on some sites. And night before last hanging out at Parker's apartment in town, both having consumed too many beers he admitted to himself how he thought Parker was attractive and would be fun to have sex with. He had reached over and put his hand no Parker's thigh and Parker hadn't reacted right away and he thought he was good to go further so he slipped it over the thigh and down near Parker's crotch.
But he had mistaken Parker's inebriation and slowness to respond as permission and soon found himself on the floor with Parker sitting on his chest threatening to beat the shit out of him, fist raised ready to strike.
Four thirty finally arrived and the crew called it a day and Eli told the guys he wouldn't be meeting up them at the bar for he was beat and going back to his place, an old farm house outside of town he rented from a second cousin. He was so exhausted when he got home he headed straight to the bathroom and took a hot shower. As soon as he was dried off he was climbing into bed thinking sleep had to come quickly since he got none the night before but for a long time he laid there staring at the ceiling. His stomach was tied in knots as he relived over and over what had happened at Parker's apartment.
The clock on his nightstand read nine forty two when his cell phone rang and he saw it was Hunter. He grimaced afraid Hunter would know by now and he hesitated to answer until the phone finally stopped ringing and went to voice mail. He didn't bother to check the message instead rolling over to face the wall and after a long time he finally fell to sleep.
Hunter left the bar around one o'clock and headed home, cutting through town knowing the streets would be nearly empty and all the signals in a flashing mode allowing him to cruise all the way through without stopping. He had tried to call Eli and was surprised to get his voice mail and after a couple of hours began to wonder what was going on. Parker showed up around ten and left within a few minutes with a woman who was at the bar so he had hung out with some of the others at a pool table watching one game after the next.
He woke late Saturday morning and went out for breakfast at a fast food place up at an interchange to the interstate just north of town. After a late breakfast he headed home and as he passed through town he turned on highway 86 in lieu of 84 and headed for Eli's place determined to find out what was going on. The drive was as familiar as if he was heading to his own home and soon he turned down the drive to the old farm house Eli was renting. He drove around the house to the rear and saw Eli's pickup under the carport. Usually by the time he shut off the engine and got out Eli would be at the door but this time he found himself knocking on the door, not once but twice.
"Come on Eli...I know you're in there. Open up."
The lock clicked and the door opened to Eli standing there in his boxers and t-shirt. He looked rough, his eyes red and he had the marks on his skin where he had just gotten out of bed. He stood in the doorway blocking Hunter from coming in.
"What do you want Hunter?"
Hunter sensed he had to go slow, not let Eli push him away too quickly and he looked down, took a breath and then looked into Eli's eyes.
"I just wanted to know if you are okay. I tried to get you last night and you didn't reply; look I know something is wrong."
Eli just looked at him for a minute then stepped back letting him enter. The rear door entered directly into the kitchen and Hunter went in and leaned against the counter by the range as Eli went to the sink, put his hands down on the counter either side of the bowl and stared out the window. They were silent for a long time, Hunter waiting patiently and Eli letting his fear and his confusion swirl around inside him and he looked down and closed his eyes. Anger welled inside of him, anger at himself for letting everything get away from him and anger at Parker and the way he reacted. Tears streamed down his cheeks and he looked around at Hunter his expression showing the mixture of emotions raging inside of him.
Hunter saw the look and for a moment felt the purity of Eli's emotions; primitive, those of the hunter...and the hunted.
"Has Parker told you anything?"
"No. He has been acting weird...like you."
Eli turned and looked out the window.
"Have you ever considered...something you knew most people would dislike you for?"
The answer came to Hunter immediately.
Eli nodded his head.
"I...a year ago I would have never considered such...but..." Eli stammered and Hunter remained silent, waiting on Eli to gather his thoughts. "The other night Parker and I had too much to drink and I...reached over and touched him...in a way that was..." Eli turned to Hunter, defiant in his expression, "...sexual. I wanted to have sex with Parker...with another man." Eli took a breath and moved to the small dining table in the room and sat down. Hands resting in his lap and eyes cast down to the laminated top of the old table he sat silent for only a moment then it all poured out. The way he considered sex with Parker, wondered how he would feel about it and if there was something about a connection with another man that would be more fulfilling than one he had had with Carol. Hunter had moved to the table while Eli talked and sat opposite of him listening, amazed at what Eli was saying for the way it resonated with himself.
Eli began to speak slower, his final thoughts mixed up, confused with his emotions, and he put his hands on the table clasped together. He finally fell silent and for a moment no one said anything or moved. Hunter leaned forward sliding his hand across the table and grasped Eli's hands and he squeezed them, gently, the way his mother would do when she was being comforting. Eli looked up and saw Hunter looking at him with a small smile on his face. Hunter took a deep breath.
"Eli...for me it isn't as confusing, but...the fear of how others would see it has always been there. I have never really wanted a...relationship with a woman. I've always wanted what you are just considering" and Hunter began to talk, to let everything bottled up inside come out as he confessed everything.
Hunter had let go of Eli's hands and sat back while he talked with Eli listening intently, hearing his friend, one he had known all his life, speak in a way that surprised him. He suddenly felt Hunter's pain, a sense of his isolation for so long and he sat silent letting Hunter say what he needed to say. When Hunter stopped they sat silent just looking at each other, both feeling raw and exposed.
"I think we've said a lot to each other...and I probably should go" Hunter uttered in a low voice as he slid the chair back and stood up. He moved to the door and as he took the knob Eli called out.
"Please...Hunter, don't go."
Who moved first? Neither could say, but clothes lay strewn through the house leaving a trail to the bedroom at the front of the house, the one Eli used as his own with its old large cast iron bed frame and high mattress. The covers lay across the foot of the mattress and light filtered through the open blinds casting bands of light over Eli, his long lean body moving over Hunter, his hips pumping his cock along the side of Hunter's both of them fully erect with their arousal. Hunter ran his hands up and around Eli, caressed the smooth skin, felt the firmness of it and he ran them down the long lean back feeling the slight indention along the spine. He rubbed them over Eli's ass, felt their firmness as they undulated over him in such a primitive way, pumping against him. Eli kissed him while running a hand through his long hair.
Hunter wrapped his legs around Eli's waist, his shorter frame snuggled within Eli's and he felt the way Eli's cock rubbed along his upturned ass, probed along his spread cheeks and touched him there, rubbed over his opening inflaming his desires and he clung to Eli and kissed him roughly and he rubbed one hand over the close cut scalp of Eli's head feeling the short hair rake over his palm.
Eli pushed against Hunter's opening then pumped his hips running his cock along Hunter till he felt an upward push against him.
"Eli...put it in me...please" Hunter whispered and Eli pulled his hips up and let his cock come to rest at Hunter's opening. It seemed forever to Hunter the way Eli hesitated but finally he felt Eli penetrate and sink into him. Slowly, inch by inch, Eli pushed down into Hunter till he was buried all the way in him. He lay still for a moment feeling the way Hunter quivered beneath him and heard the grunt and finally a slow moan escape from deep within him.
Hunter clung to Eli and pumped his hips upward and it was only a small movement but it was enough and Eli shifted up over him and began to fuck, slowly at first with long graceful movements, pulling his hips up till his cock nearly slipped free then pushing back down sinking all the way back into him. Eli's long lean body undulated with his fuck, with his ass moving up and down flexing with the exertion. Hunter caressed his back and down over his undulating ass feeling the way each cheek flexed with every push down. Hunter grabbed them and pulled Eli downward hard.
"Fuck me...Eli...fuck me."
Eli rose up and began to thrust his hips harder, to drive his cock into Hunter, a physical fuck, bodies moving against each other, hips slapping together and the two of them found the excitement of their fuck, the corporeal nature of it and Hunter clung to Eli taking each thrust into his body, every penetrating inch. Eli fucked till his fair skin glistened in the bands of sunlight as he drove his cock into Hunter feeling the tightness loosen to his penetration and he drove into Hunter harder, faster till the old bed rocked and squeaked.
Hunter clung to Eli, felt the way he moved over him, hot and slick, and Eli's undulating torso rubbed Hunter's cock, kept it pinned between them and rubbed it till it was slick with its pre-cum. Hunter began to pump his hips upward, shoving his ass upward for Eli's fuck and rubbing his cock against Eli's stomach.
Eli began to grind his hips inward working his cock in short thrusts as he felt his cum surge through his cock. He shoved inward hard and came, pumping out wad after wad deep into Hunter. When he was spent he slipped out of Hunter and moved over to his side. Hunter reached for his cock and began to stroke it but Eli moved down to it quickly brushing Hunter's hand away. Hunter felt his cock sink into Eli's mouth and after only a few moves up and down he came filling Eli's mouth with his load.
They laid in bed, dozing off and on all day, only getting up to eat something and go to the bathroom. The sun moved down into the western sky and the light shifted through the blinds moving over the floor and walls. As the day approached its end Hunter lay on his side with his back snuggled up to Eli who held their bodies together. Hunter moved against Eli, worked his ass against Eli's cock till he felt it begin to grow erect and press against him. Eli stirred and pulled their bodies together tighter and he reached down and lifted Hunter's leg and pushed his cock against Hunter's entrance. Hunter leaned back turning his head to kiss Eli while he pushed his ass against the cock at his entry till he felt Eli penetrate him, slowly, inch by inch, sinking all the way into him. Eli pumped his hips driving his cock into Hunter until he needed to shift positions. Hunter rolled over on his stomach with Eli moving over him and drove his cock into Hunter, long slow strokes feeling each inch of his cock slip through the tight ring of Hunter's opening.
Hunter grabbed at the sheet and pushed his ass upward taking Eli, taking each inward thrust feeling the way Eli sank into his hole, deeply, filling him. Their pace stayed slow for a long time, each savoring the feel of the other, the way their bodies moved together but Eli's exertions soon tired him and he pulled out of Hunter and eased over on his back.
"I've got to catch my breath" he uttered with his heavy breathing.
Hunter smiled, leaned over kissing Eli then he moved over him, straddling his waist. Eli watched Hunter take his cock and ease down on it and he watched it disappear into Hunter. Hunter worked his body up and down building up his pace, faster and faster. He stroked his own cock as he rode Eli's, rocking over him making the bed squeak and shake noisily.
Eli rested his hands on Hunter's thighs feeling the way the muscles flexed and relaxed with Hunter's movement and he leaned back with his eyes closed with everything focused on the way his cock felt working in Hunter's hole. All too soon he felt Hunter's cum spatter across this chest and stomach and he opened his eyes seeing Hunter stroke the last of the cum from his cock smearing it over the head and down the shaft. He shoved upward as Hunter came down and he felt the way Hunter's hole spasm with each ejaculation and it pushed Eli over the edge and he once again filled Hunter with his cum.
Sunday morning was another bright summer day and Eli and Hunter decided on breakfast in town both of them having woke early that morning. The restaurant was busy but they managed to get a table by the window of the small diner and soon had breakfast in front of them. They talked quietly as they ate leaned in to each other, occasionally laughing out loud drawing the attention of others. They had spoken to those around them they knew but otherwise they didn't notice their surroundings, who came and went or who sat in the back. And they certainly didn't notice Parker get up from the counter in back and exit the diner.
Parker couldn't believe what he was seeing. The moment the two of them came in he knew. Knew by the way they moved together, the way they were talking, all leaned in toward each other and he seethed inside with anger. He went straight to his apartment and slammed the door shut tossing his keys across the room. He didn't understand his anger, this furious nature that arose inside of him. He went into the bathroom and on the way saw his unmade bed and the torn condom wrappers on the floor and he frowned.
He paced the apartment and eventually found himself checking his social sites online pulling up Eli and Hunter to see if either had dared to post something. Neither had been online in days. Then he did it, a search that made his hands feel clammy and his heart race inside his chest. He watched one video, then another, and another. He felt it, his arousal, as he watched men have sex. Men sucking cock, taking cock in their ass, and he took his own out for it was so hard it ached. He moved his hand over it and was surprised to find the head already slick and he stroked it as he watched another video, a guy on his elbows and knees taking a cock in the mouth and ass, two men roughly fucking him at each end. Parker tried not to imagine it, but the image of it being him in that position came to him, on his knees and elbows, taking cock in his ass and mouth. He closed his eyes and the men became Eli and Hunter and they fucked him, roughly till cum ran from his mouth and ass. The silence within his apartment was shattered as he cried out with his initial ejaculation and cum spattered the front of his shirt and his jeans. He kept stroking his cock till he was spent and his cock too sensitive for further stimulation. Exhausted, spent, still angry with himself he leaned over resting his forehead on the table.

On the other hand, you have a point that returning maplen (number of bytes allocated in the map) does NOT tell you how many cpus are online without doing a population count of the result; worse, it cannot tell you how many cpus are offline (a maplen of 1 is returned whether I have 4 cpus or 8 cpus, so if the map contains the value 0xb, does that mean I had a 4 cpu machine with cpu2 off, or an 8 cpu machine with cpu2 and cpu4-7 off?). So allowing the user to optionally ask how many cpus are online or offline might indeed also be useful, in addition to the maplen needed to return the bitmap. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org

Digital titles have certainly earned their spot among the big boys of AAA gaming, with marketplaces like XBLA, Steam and PSN giving smaller developers a chance to shine. Gamers will have access to even more high profile titles this month, as four new PSN games have been dated for the month of October.
First up is none other than Hello Games' Joe Danger 2: The Movie. Despite the original title being a timed PSN exclusive, the game's sequel launched first on the Xbox 360 while the PS3 version was still in development. The game also did quite well critically, garnering a positive score from Game Rant (read our review here). Those interested in the PSN version won't have to wait long, as Hello Games' latest drops next Tuesday, October 9th, 2012 with a price tag of $14.99.
To make up for the late release, Hello Games is also offering extra content with the PS3 version of Joe Danger 2, comprised of scrapped levels from the original Joe Danger which were deemed by the team to be just too difficult. Hello Games' Sean Murray refers to them as Joe Danger: Gaiden. These levels, which add 10 hours of extra content, will come packed in with the PS3 version of Joe Danger 2 at no extra cost. In addition, the game also supports replays, YouTube support, developer picks, custom soundtracks, level editing, an unlockable Joe Danger and even more hidden content.
Launching alongside Joe Danger 2 is developer VBlank's highly elusive Retro City Rampage. We say elusive, because the game has been in development for quite a while. Thankfully Retro City Rampage has finally received a firm release date and will come to the PS3, Vita and PC October 9th for $14.99. The game supports cross buy on the PlayStation platforms, allowing gamers to purchase the game on one system and receive it on both. The PC version will be made available through Steam or as a DRM-free download through GOG.com. The game can also be purchased directly from VBlank and will also be DRM-free.
Retro City Rampage will also come to XBLA and Wiiware, though no release date has been set for either platform. VBlank's Brian Provinciano says that the Wiiware version will release shortly after the PSN version, with an XBLA release still being finalized.
Machinarium, Amanita Design's popular PC puzzle game is yet another game joining the PSN line up. The game was originally announced for PSN/Vita last year, but is only being released now – the PS3 version is anyway. North American PS3 gamers can get their hands on Machinarium on October 9th for $9.99. The game has been available on the European PSN for roughly a month, with Amanita putting sales at over 100,000 copies.
Amanita Design is still unsure as to when the PS Vita version will be released, though the studio is "working hard" on finishing the port. It's likely that Machinarium would excel on the Vita, especially in the way it controls.The original PC/Mac release closely resembled the point-and-click adventures of yesteryear, a feat that should be quite easy to replicate using the Vita's touchscreen.
Lastly, The Unfinished Swan – developer Giant Sparrow's ambitious PlayStation Move game – has received a release date of October 23rd, 2012. Players with a PlayStation Plus subscription get early access to the game, and can purchase and download The Unfinished Swan on October 16th, 2012 for only $14.99. The game will also cost $14.99 for regular PSN users.
Sony and Giant Sparrow have also released a brand new dev diary to commemorate the final release date: check it out below.
Each of these new releases has been added to our October Game Guide. Check it out to see a list of all the new games releasing this month.
Joe Danger 2: The Movie releases October 9th, 2012 on PSN. The game is also available for the Xbox 360.
Retro City Rampage releases October 9th, 2012 for PC and PSN with a Wiiware and XBL release to follow.
Machinarium releases October 9th, 2012 for the PS3. The game is currently available for PC/Mac.
The Unfinished Swan releases October 16th for PS Plus members, and October 23rd for all PSN users.

LARAMIE, Wyo. -
Purchase Season Tickets | Video Interviews
On Thursday morning, the Wyoming Cowboys completed their 11th practice of fall camp with an hour and 40-minute practice in full pads on the practice field southwest of War Memorial Stadium.
The Cowboys' practice included three 11-on-11 periods. The first of those three 11-on-11 periods focused on driving the ball out from the offense's own 10-yard line, the second focused on third-down situations and the third was a situational 11-on-11 period that was designed to be conducted with a game-like tempo.
Thursday's practice was the final one in full pads prior to the second major scrimmage of the fall, which will be held on Saturday, Aug. 17 in War Memorial Stadium. Saturday's practice will begin at 10 a.m., and is open to the public.
The Pokes will conduct two practices on Friday in shoulder pads and helmets only, rather than full pads. Those two practices will be at 8:45 a.m. and 3:45 p.m. and will also be open to the public. While Friday's practices won't involve full contact, head coach Dave Christensen emphasized to his team at the end of Thursday's practice that they need to focus on perfecting their individual assignments and continue to maintain the sharp, up-tempo that they have practiced with all during fall camp.
"Tomorrow's two practices will be more like our afternoon practices have been," said Christensen. "We'll do a little bit more in the morning practice. We'll do a lot of team work and get some kicking in. The big thing now is we want to get as many players to the dance on Saturday in good health and get them all a lot of reps so we can evaluate them in game-like situations.
"The scrimmage itself on Saturday will be similar to our first one. We want to get about 50 plays in for both our No. 1 and No. 2 units. We'll get some reps for our threes and fours too, like we did in the first scrimmage."
Christensen said that he and his staff had not set the exact script for Saturday's scrimmage, and hadn't yet decided whether the No. 1 units would face off against one another, or if it would be No. 1s versus No. 2s.
Running backs Brandon Miller and Omar Stover returned to contact drills on Thursday. Both the senior Miller and the true freshman Stover had been limited due to injuries the past few days.
"They've been getting better each day, and our goal was to have them back today for this padded practice," said Christensen. "But (Joshua) Tapscott went down in the middle of practice, so I'll have to check to see where he's at for the rest of this week. We'll go in shells tomorrow, so we should have everyone ready to go on Saturday for the scrimmage."
Christensen was also asked after Thursday's practice to comment on the performance of his team's defensive backs during fall camp.
"They're making progress. They're making some more big hits out there, making some more plays on the ball, which is encouraging," said Christensen. "We need that. It was an area that we failed to execute very well at last year. But they're playing much better."
In recent days, defensive lineman Justin Bernthaler also returned to contact drills after battling back from injury. Christensen likes what the senior from Stuttgart, Germany, brings to the Cowboy defensive front.
"He is physical," Christensen said of Bernthaler. "He is a big, strong physical presence inside. He's been out, and we've been slowly bringing him back. He has done a nice job, and has gotten a little more work each single day, and is practicing well for us."
Roster Updates
One position change that was made this week is redshirt freshman Sam Hardy was moved from defensive end to offensive guard. The move was made on Wednesday, so Hardy has two days under his belt now as a backup at offensive guard.
A number of Cowboys have bulked up through summer conditioning programs and into fall camp. Among some of the most notable gains are: senior middle linebacker Devyn Harris (listed at 229 in spring, now up to 240); junior offensive tackle Walker Madden (up from 280 to 297); senior running back Brandon Miller (up from 188 to 200); junior strong safety Darrenn White (up from 184 to 192); and sophomore running back Shaun Wick (up from 190 to 204).
Former Wyoming Cowboy and NFL Veteran Adam Goldberg Speaks to Team
The Wyoming Cowboys were offered a special treat on Wednesday night when former Wyoming Cowboy and NFL offensive lineman Adam Goldberg came to speak to the team about his time as a Cowboy from 1999-2002 and his eight-year career in the NFL.
Goldberg, who now lives in Denver, concluded his NFL playing career in 2011. He played for the St. Louis Rams and Minnesota Vikings from 2004-11. He was on the practice squad with the Vikings in 2003, his first season out of college. Goldberg played in 112 NFL games and started 66 during his professional career.
In July of 2008, he was named to the Mountain West Conference All-Decade team as an offensive tackle. He was one of only 25 players in the first decade of the league to earn the honor, and was one of only two Wyoming Cowboys. The other Cowboy who earned Mountain West All-Decade team honors was wide receiver Jovon Bouknight.
A native of Edina, Minn., Goldberg earned First Team All-Mountain West Conference honors as a left tackle in 2001 and 2002 in voting by conference head coaches. He was selected to the Outland Trophy Preseason Watch List prior to his senior season of 2002, and he played in the Rotary Gridiron Classic College All-Star Game at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Fla., following his senior season.
Goldberg ended his Wyoming career having started 44 of 45 career games. The only career game he didn't start was the season opener his junior season of 2001 versus Furman due to illness.

Jewelry Dichroic Fused Glass Butterfly Pendant w/Gold Filled Necklace
The deep color of this cobalt blue dichroic glass pendant is absolutely stunning. This gorgeous pendant has two layers of glass, was hand cut, fired in the kiln and then fired again to apply the 22K gold butterfly decal. Since the decal is literally fired into the glass, there's no chance of it peeling. A third and final fire polish in the kiln results in the smooth, high gloss finish. All jewelry pieces are annealed in the kiln for at least 1 hour to assure the strength of the glass. Comes with a delicate 18" gold-filled, cable chain necklace with spring ring closure. Note that the bail is high quality gold plating over solid cast brass.
Pendant Measures: 75"W by 1"H
Necklace: 18"
Gift Box included.
PLEASE NOTE: Hand-crafted items are unique and no two are exactly the same. The nature of glass is to have minor irregularities, including tiny bubbles. These are not flaws but simply inherent to the material. I believe they add to the uniqueness of each item.

Make prefilled fields read onlyAsked by NRCsupport on February 12, 2014 at 02:41 AM
If I prefill some fields with url parameters, I'd like them to be read only, so that the user cannot change them or clear them using the clear form button.
Obviously if the fields are not prefilled then I want them to be editable and clearable in the usual way.
Is this possible?
JotForm Support
You can set the Read-Only property to YES in the field properties option.
Here is an example form http://form.jotform.me/form/40420933572450?yourName=JotForm
Hope this help. Inform us if you need further assistance.
Thanks, but that is not really what I want to know. Yes a field can be defined as readonly, but what I want is that the field should normally be read/write, but if it is filled from a URL parameter, then it should become readonlyso that the user cannot change it, and hopefully clearform would not clear it.
JotForm Support
That would be incredibly difficult to achieve, being that a URL prepopulation functions the same as a user would in filling the form.
But Your request is understandable.
Are the prefill values a variable or fixed? - Please share your prefill URL and we can consider a workaround.
Hello Titus,
What I wanted to do was to prepopulate some fields on some occasions when calling the form from another form. In particular I wanted to use some of the settings in one form to get the thank you page to configure itself accordingly. I think that I have found my own workaround. I can put hidden fields onto the thank you page. The URL line to call the page can set values for these fields, and the page can use rules based on these values to decide what to show. It appears that the clear form button does not clear hidden fields – so I can achieve my object.

I am proudly part of the "Never Trump" movement.
That means I will not vote for him, under any circumstance, no matter his opponent.
Not voting for Trump is not a vote for Hillary. A vote for Hillary is a vote for Hillary. I am simply not voting at all. There are the terrible, abominable people that each side picked, and so the election of one or the other is on their heads.
Personally, I hope Trump loses. Because Trump was loud an adamant about how the reason Mitt Romney lost was because he was a bad canidate who people were not motivated to vote for. It will be hysterical to see the very, very tiny gears in his head spin, as he tries to lay the blame on his loss at the feet of people who think he was a bad candidate, who people were not motivated to vote for.
We can survive Hillary as president. Especially because she will be impeached and arrested. The FBI investigation has gone too far, gotten too serious. There is talk that a HUGE number of FBI agents, including the head, who was appointed by Obama, might resign in protest if she is not indicted.
That speaks volumes to how much evidence they have against her, that has ONLY not been used to prosecute so far because Loretta Lynch refuses to take the case.00|00|0

In the center of a busy roundabout with heavy traffic, pedestrians use underpasses that go under the street.
This is one of a few places we encountered what may have been a tourist scam (the found gold ring, the clip board and do you speak English question). Since we read about these scams in travel books, we were not taken and no harm done.
We trekked up the monument, over 280 steps to the top.

Vulcanair delivered the first P68 Observer 2 in China yesterday, less than two weeks after the Chinese Civil Aviation Authority (CAAC) granted type certificate validation for the twin turboprop. The aircraft was delivered to Vulcanair's Chinese distributor, Tianjin-based China Aero Supply, which will in turn hand over the turboprop to its undisclosed customer. Vulcanair said this Observer 2 will be used for aerial photo missions. China Aero Supply also has "a number" of P68 Observer 2s on order, which will be delivered to China "soon."

One Million Moms Doesn't Like JC Penney's Two Gay Dads At All
Those two gay dads sure look happy for people condemned to burn in eternal hell fire.
JC Penney
Because their attack on JC Penney for its (obviously homosexual) relationship with Ellen DeGeneres only brought the Plano-based clothing retailer to its knees, the anti-gay, pro-crazy group One Million Moms is back to deliver the finishing blow.
The department store chain sent out a subversive little catalog last week for Father's Day featuring a pair of children happily playing with their parents. The kids are apparently oblivious to the fact that the parents two dudes who will burn in hell for eternity for engaging in a loving, consensual, long-term relationship that nonetheless offends a vengeful and bloodthirsty God.
The ad copy reads: "First Pals: What makes Dad so cool? He's the swim coach, tent maker, best friend, bike fixer and hug giver - all rolled into one. Or two."
The ad was widely praised by Godless homophiles, but luckily OMM is around to set things straight.
It is obvious that JCP would rather take sides than remain neutral in the culture war. JCP will hear from the other side so they need to hear from us as well. Our persistence will pay off! One day we will answer for our actions or lack of them. We must remain diligent and stand up for Biblical values and truth. Scripture says multiple times that homosexuality is wrong, and God will not tolerate this sinful nature.
OMM will continue to avoid shopping at JCP until they take a neutral stand. If you receive their advertising booklets or catalogs in the mail, OMM recommends you write "REFUSED...RETURN TO SENDER" on your JCPenney catalog and try sending them back. If they receive an onslaught of their returned magazines, they will take notice. Also, you may email, call, or use their contact form on their website to unsubscribe from their mailers so you will no longer have these delivered to your home. If you have a store credit card, you can close your account, if you have not already done so, to help get the message across that you have no plans to shop with them in the future. Be sure to tell them why you are unsubscribing and canceling your credit card.
I'd watch out if I were you, JC Penney. After all, OMM got GCB cancelled in its first season. Same thing with The Playboy Club whose lack of advertising was due not to the fact that it was a terrible show that no one watched but because of OMM. I predict similar success in their current campaign against Kardashian Barbie.

text: Hi, I have problems starting clvmd in a second node (after starting it successfully on the first node) of a newly created 4-nodes cluster; no problems staring the service first time on any nodes. Running "cman_tool services" will show that the second node which started clvmd is in a "join" status while the first node show a "update" status. This remains even after a long period of time. Given that the directories (i.e. /var /usr / ) are created using the default lvm manager during installation, and I install the lvm2-cluster-2.02.06-7.0.RHEL4.x86_64.rpm subsequently as part of the requirements to set up GFS, will this cause the clvmd not to start properly? I have no problems starting ccsd, cman and fenced. Thanks in advance, Bernard Chew IT Operations Engineer

I hear it all the time. "Well I want to invest in Real Estate but to do that you need to get a 2,3 OR 4 plex. I can't make any money buying single family homes because I can't get a property to cash flow in this market."
What they mean is that the cost of buying that home is so high that the expenses will exceed the rents that you can charge for that neighborhood.
My recommendation is change your strategy.
People think that they have this thing locked in stone that if they want to do rentals they have to buy a property, rent it out and hope on the appreciation and that is their business model.
They will make money once they sell in however many years or after the properties go up in value and the Mortgage payment gets paid down.
Refinance at a lower mortgage rate, eventually it will cash flow or they are planning on making the money at the tail end when they sell. The problem with that strategy is that you are just betting on future profits.
The way to make money is to change your strategy.
Instead of buy rentals buy for Rent To Own or for Lease Option. The nice thing about that is you are always guaranteed the cash flow.
How that works is usually in a Rent To Own you have an up front deposit but then your monthly payments or your monthly lease payments from your tenant to you is based on what the cost of owning that home is plus any additional costs or any additional amount of money that they are going to be using towards a credit.
A credit, meaning money that they are putting towards their eventual down payment. It is sort of like a forced savings program.
For example: lets say you have a property where all your monthly expenses for your mortgage, tax, insurance and all those costs come up to $1500.00. You are renting it out on a Rent To Own and your lease payment is $2000.00. So there you have $500.00 cash flow.
You hear people talking all the time that you should aim for $100-$200 a door in a rental. Now that is supposed to take into account minus additional expenses or allow for additional expenses. Things like maintenance, property management but in a Rent To Own you do not have those expenses. You do not have maintenance costs because in my case anyway, when I do Rent To Owns the tenant pays for all that.
So a lot of those expenses go down, you have a forced savings program built into the deal so they are paying you an amount of money above what the costs are. You are always guaranteed that cash flow. In that situation it's easy to make any property cash flow.
By any property I mean, it doesn't matter if you bought a home for $300,000.00-$500,000.00. I have a home right now for $500,000.00 I think our monthly expense are $2600.00 and we are charging $3400.00. So right there its a $600.00 cash flow based on that property.
Your lease payments do not have to reflect the market value. Now I know there is some restriction in some place, like rent control but I have never been challenged with that and the people renting from me have never challenged me. They know that a Rent To Own includes all those costs plus the credit where they are actually saving for their down payment.
In some cases where there is rent controls I have heard people will split up those payments so you get a rent payment and is documented on the lease and then they pay you a credit payment which is the forced saving.
