Over the past six years I have fully disclosed all building and update costs at Tiny House Ontario. I believe that I was the first tiny house blogger who chose to do this. I was able to because I am organized about what I spend so I had all my receipts. The reason I posted them though, was not just for my own purposes of keeping track. I also hoped to give a clearer picture to those who are thinking about building tiny, so that you know what, generally, to expect. For this reason I also include my failures or lost money, I hope by doing this, I might prevent others from making my mistakes.
My other reason for disclosure though, is that a lot of people comment on tiny house pages what show houses that are for sale… "too expensive" (and some are). But tiny houses cost a lot of money too and many tiny house followers think that keeping the cost of the house at nothing is the whole point. I call BS on this. Unless you have endless time and skills to DIY and lots of resources handed to you then you really can't build a tiny house for next to nothing. Resources cost money! Plus as a rule of thumb, when you think about material cost you need to times this by 2.5 to include the labour costs if you are not doing it yourself. Labour is expensive!
FACT: Tiny houses cost way more per square foot than McMansions because space is cheap to add… but the catch is, those added feet are what cost you for as long as you live in your house. You have to fill them, update them, heat them, pay taxes on them and deal with the carbon footprint of them… Space might seem cheap, but it is not. So now you know the secret, the point of tiny houses is to avoid paying year after year for space.
When it comes to my home, I am a cheapskate, who does not need to have the very best of everything to make me happy… Tiny House Ontario is, by design, a rustic little cabin in the woods. It is off grid, it is humble, and there are quite a few used and or surplus items that went into it. Plus, the house is nowhere near complete! Yet here I am in the 6th year, and I have invested over thirty thousand dollars into the place and this does not include the cost of land. PLUS… I paid very little for labour because I did a lot of the work myself. I also made $3800 in mistakes*. It is not done either! There is no running water (or cistern), so I still have to carry in all the potable water I need, and the bathroom, bedroom, kitchen are not yet finished.
In short, resources and money do not grow on trees. And despite what my sister thinks of my handiness, I cannot spin straw into gold – as much as I wish I could!
2016 was not a big year for expenditure nor accomplishment. Still every little step costs something. This year I picked up a few things late in the season and have not yet had the opportunity to put them to use. Here is the breakdown.
Materials for corner bench for the cloth porch. $112.
New surplus solar panels (not yet hooked up) $240.
Antique chamber pot for the (temporary bathroom fix) in-house. $50.
Dickinson fireplace heater and extra chimney (not yet hooked up) $1133.
Picture window (not yet installed in the cloth porch) FREE
2016 Phase 7 $1535
Total, To date (on building, driveway, homesteading, improvement & taxes) – $35,411
Land – $67,000
Investment in THO and Property $102.411 —–
This year, all that I crossed off my to-do list was building seating for the cloth porch and purchasing a new heating system which will be installed in January.
As for what I wish to work on next year:
- Hook up the Dickinson fireplace.
- Install picture window in the cloth porch so that in the winter we can see out instead of having the view blocked by the tarp.
- Update the bathroom so that it works
- Turn the garden into a little green house so that the critters can't steal everything I grow. Alternately, I thought I might plant just herbs and Helianthus tuberoses. These are native species alternately known as sunroot sunflowers, or Jerusalem artichokes and they should do well in the sunny spot there as well as produce food for me that perhaps won't all be eaten.
- Install the floor on the second level.
- Finish the stone work patio and walkways
- I would also like to move the shed from my Hamilton house to the land at THO. It would be good to have it there so I could store spare wood, equipment such as maple tree tapping, and outdoor stuff. I think I would also put off season clothes in bins there. We will see if time and energy permit.
Future Expenses
- well and pump
- kitchen
- bathroom
- loft (flooring and built-ins)
- shed (move or build)
- stonework
*MISTAKES – totalling $3,800 (breakdown below)
- $2800 I was ripped off by the cement contractor (Phase 1)
- $800 Culvert issues (Phase 1 and 2 – still not resolved)
- Roughly $200 bathroom materials which had to be removed because of mice.

My husband and I recently returned from a 5-night honeymoon that couldn't have been any more perfect. We wanted a honeymoon that was off the clock with the option to do as much or as little as possible. We fell in love with the outdoor shower and hammock on the deck before we even arrived.
After a long travel day from NJ, we took a 90 minutes winding drive to the hotel where we were welcomed to the resort by Ava, greeted with the option of a rum or fruit punch and cold lavender scented face towels to refresh. Our luggage and us were immediately whisked off to our private cottage, Dwive.
The cottage was more perfect than the pictures made it look. The rocking chairs and hammock on the patio made for a welcoming picture followed by the tour of the breezy room, outdoor garden shower and 4 poster bed. We were conveniently close to the main buliding and spa which was just a short walk up a path. We were close enough that the few nights there was live music we were able to relax on our hammock and hear it.
We had booked the Lanmou package and arranged for the couples massage for almost immediately after we arrived. We can say enough good things about the spa. The massage was the perfect thing to end the travel portion of our day and start the relaxing honeymoon. The massage tables had mirrors so when you were face down you could look at the water through the open walls. The lovely massage girl convinced my husband that he NEEDED a manicure and pedicure so we schedule that for the next day which allowed me to get a coconut package (scrub, wrap, massage). We highly recommend any spa treatment and the products were so wonderful we even bought some to take home!
We took advantage of the outdoor shower probably more than anything else. It was refreshing to cut through the sticky humidity with a quick cold rinse. The room was always clean, the fridge was always restocked with milk and water, and the cute little birds were entertaining to watch. The turn down service was something we never experienced before and was nice to come back from dinner to find the air conditioning on and the netting around the bed closed. It added to the romantic feel instead of making us feel like we needed to worry about bugs.
The breakfast was delicious and more than enough choices to satisfy. From the fresh cheese, homemade breads, coconut muffins, granola, and fresh fruit juices we could have stayed at breakfast all day. The birds are quite friendly even offering to share my juice with me when I didn't drink it quick enough.
We only did lunch twice, once while lounging on the beach and the other time at the tables. We wish we had gone their earlier in vacation because we can't stop thinking about the fish tacos and the island salad.
Dinner was beyond delicious with different choices every night. The Wednesday night creole buffet was a fabulous taste of the local cuisine and we stuffed ourselves silly.
The beach is down stone and wood steps but we didn't find that it was the big of a hike. There are plenty of landings to stop on the way up and enjoy the view and catch your breath if needed. My husband made friends with all the beach vendors on the first day and we bought a little something from everyone. We did not find them bothersome since they were less invasive than we have encountered other places. The snorkeling was awesome and the visiting tour boats didn't take away from our experience in the least. We were happy that we were at the best snorkeling beach instead of having to travel to one.
We did the wine tasting with Cleus and WOW! he knows his stuff! And yes, we walked away at the minimum buzzed if not more. The wine knowledge mixed with the huge selection and blast chiller of air conditioning made for a pleasant afternoon of wine sampling and cheese.
We did the Land and Sea tour through the resort and enjoyed the boat ride, botanical gardens, drive-in volcano, waterfall swim. Lunch at the Fond Doux plantation was a great lunch buffet and look at the plantation workings was interesting. We also did the horseback riding through the resort and we could say how great a time we had. The horses were easy going and the swim in the ocean on the horse was fun as well as the walk on the beach.
Everyone at the resort was friendly, going out of their way to say hello and ask how our day was and if we needed anything. We enjoyed every day and wish we could have stayed longer. We think we picked the perfect place for our honeymoon and know that no where else will ever top this. We can't wait to come back.

Went with my family of 4 plus mother in law and brother in law for three nights as part of multi-location Costa Rica vacation. We loved the grounds and pools. Rooms were fine, nothing special. It is the grounds that make this place. On a clear day you have amazing view of the volcano. We had dinner at the restaurant one night and it was very good. The crocodile enclosure was very cool. The days we were there a couple crocs were very close, almost on the fence.
Rooms are spread out across the large property. Some are close to the lobby and restaurant, others require fairly long walk or hotel shuttle bus. We booked early (5 months in advance) via Anywhere Costa Rica and our rooms were very close to the restaurant. We by chance had friends from our neighborhood who also happened to be there. They booked only a month out and needed hotel shuttle to get to the room.
Staff was nice and helpful. Would stay here again if we were to get back to La Fortuna.

The candidates vying for the Jeffco commission's District 1 seat both have their eyes on addressing the challenges posed by future growth, but the challenger said leading her agenda would be fixing a perceived lack of transparency between the county and its residents.
With the November election just six weeks away, last week the two candidates in the District 2 county commission race shared similar views about the challenges facing the county, including sensible economic development, ensuring county employee wages remain competitive, and addressing population growth without sacrificing open space.
Weighing economic development versus affordable housing needs, addressing Jeffco's rapidly increasing population and moving to 100 percent renewable energy were some of the topics raised Sept. 27 during an election forum at Center/Stage Theatre in Evergreen.
In addition to hearing from candidates for the Jeffco commission, residents who attended an election forum Sept. 27 at Center/Stage Theatre in Evergreen also heard from Tim Leonard and Tammy Story, who are vying for the state House District 25 seat.
The two mountain area residents vying in state House District 25 are mostly in agreement when asked to identify the critical issues facing the state — but their solutions differ dramatically.
Marti Smith of Arvada is the only remaining Democratic candidate seeking to run for county commissioner against incumbent Republican Libby Szabo.
However, Smith still must be approved by a vote of the Democratic vacancy committee, which will meet at 6 p.m. April 28 at the Arvada Center for the Arts.
The two candidates vying for district attorney in Jeffco might be from different political parties, but both say they are committed to reform in the criminal justice system through expanding the use of specialty courts.
Incumbent DA Pete Weir, a Republican, and his Democratic challenger, Jake Lilly of Evergreen, agree that Jeffco's specialized problem-solving courts, including dedicated drug, adult mental health and veterans courts, provide a better and more tailored approach.
Evergreen resident Doug Lempke believes he has reached the stage in life where he's ready to give something back to the community. While attending several meetings of the Evergreen Park and Recreation District board, he thought: "This could be a fit."
Evergreen Highlands resident and avid pickleball player Monty Estis works full-time as a systems analyst in Denver and part-time two hours a week supervising open gymnastics at Wulf Recreation Center. If he wins election to the rec district board, he said, he will resign from his paid park-district position, which he has held for three years.
Longtime Evergreen resident and businessman Bill May decided to run for the Evergreen Park and Recreation District board to help promote more local involvement, better represent the south end of the district and "because he just had the feeling that I could help with some things we felt were important."
May, 67, is the owner of Farmers Insurance and in 1989 moved his business to Evergreen, where he has an office on Meadow Drive. Before moving to his current home in Evergreen Meadows, he lived in Hangen Ranch.

text: As I was looking around in this part of the board I noticed some questions about insurance. This is why I have it. Years ago right before I started my LCO I was mowing a sisters 5 acres. Its right on a fairly busy corner in a very well to do area. As I was mowing along the street the blades grabbed a exhaust hanger(near as could be figured out later. It was about 1/8th in dia, 8" long, had a few 90 bends in it and a broken weld) I heard it hit but didnt see anything so I started mowing again. Well that peice of metal flew out from my deck across a lane of traffic - broke through a side window of a school bus (full of grade school kids on their way home) struck the ceiling of the bus(leaving a good size dent) and ended up on a kids head. Somehow No kids were hurt badly. The ones sitting by the broken window were talking to other kids facing away from the windows. They just had some glass in their hair and down their shirts. When the peice hit the ceiling it pretty well stopped all forward motion so that it just landed on the kids head. He had a small scratch from it. Not enough of a scratch to require stiches. Tetnus booster to be safe. For maybe a half hour or so I watched as the bus sat at the side of the road. There was an ambalance and some cops. I figured somthing had happened but still had no idea what. Finally a Sherrif drove up the drive to where I was with his lights on. He asked me about what I had seen & what I was doing there. I told him that it was my sisters house that she rents & I was doing it since their tractor had broken. (All true) That was when I found out what had happened. I had to prove to him that it was my sisters house (used pics of me and her growing up and as adults). In the end I was not held liable for anything since I was just being a helpfull brother for a sister in need of a mowing. The parents involved were just thankfull that their kids were safe and not hurt. I wonder what would have happeded if I was a scrub trying to make money mowing her yard. I do believe that things would have turned out greatly differant for me. When I decided to start using my equipment to make money Liability Insurance was first and formost on my list of things to do. At about a buck a day for a million dollars worth of insurance it is paid willinglly every year. (buck a day figured on 7 months of mowing a year for me) My advice? We cant afford NOT to have liability Insurance.

The Indianapolis Colts were the latest team to enter the NFL coaching search in 2012. Indianapolis fired head coach Jim Caldwell after a 2-14 season that included the injury to quarterback Peyton Manning.
Does another opening in Indianapolis further impact the Miami Dolphins?
Miami already ran into trouble trying to compete with the St. Louis Rams for veteran head coach Jeff Fisher. The Dolphins lost that battle, as Fisher wanted control over personnel in addition to a potential franchise quarterback in Sam Bradford.
Now, Indianapolis hits the coaching market with Manning currently on the roster and, most importantly, the No. 1 overall pick. That selection will likely be used on Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck, who many feel is the best quarterback prospect to come out of college since Manning. Luck has so much potential that there's been speculation the Colts might trade or release Manning in the offseason. That remains to be seen.
But Indianapolis' next coach will have one or two franchise quarterbacks on the roster. That is something Miami cannot compete with. Matt Moore is a great backup and solid short-term starter. But he is not the Dolphins' long-term solution.
If Miami ends up competing with Indianapolis for the same top candidate, there is a good chance that coach would choose the Colts and Luck over the Dolphins and the No. 8 or No. 9 pick. Miami may want to speed up its search.

Calculating Rent Escalation
As tenants are growing restless and struggling with the economic downturn, many business owners are reading the fine print of their leases to see if they're overpaying for everything from window cleaning to electricity.
Rent escalation clauses, which provide for increases in rent each year to help account for inflation, have proven a particularly contentious subject.
Take a recent dispute between the El Rio Grande restaurant...

So him and I have been good friends since freshmen year in high school (we're seniors now). We've always had feelings for each other/been attracted to each other but we don't want to ruin our friendship. He's the type that always has a girlfriend. I'm the oppisite, I'm more the independent girl, I just don't like any of the guys at my school enough to go out with them. So the most recent time he's told me that he likes me is last year before school ended, he said that he still has feelings for me (despite having a girlfriend that he claims to LOVE). And I don't want to get in between them. I'm not that type of girl. I may like him but that doesn't mean I'm going to go after him and be all flirty (he's the big flirt). And he asked me if I wanted to hang out..he texted me this on Saturday at 8pm...I'm not sure WHERE we would hang out (NOT at his house...), but first I'm decided whether or not I'm even going to hang out with him. I feel like I'm betraying a fellow girl if I hang out with him. Because I know I'd be upset if I had a boyfriend and he went to the movies with another girl, even if it's just his friend. So I want to know everyones opinion on this, it sucks that I can't hang out with a best friend but I also don't want to seem like a slut who hangs out with guys who have boyfriends. (I'm the complete opposite!) So what should I do? Should I let her know, where should we hang out if at all? Any advice please? Thanks ahead of time.

Simple, the reason you are feeling you are excluding this girl from her relationships is because you ARE excluding her from your hangouts. Many people would disagree with me, but I think if you wish to be friends with nothing in between, then be just that. Offer for his girlfriend to hangout when you two next meetup, get to know her and don't make her feel threatened. When you hangout, head over to the movies, or hell, go the museum or do something exciting like rock climbing!11|00|0
Thank you. But the only problem is I really don't like his girlfriend. She's really annoying and mother-like. I've talked to her and him together before and she's constantly like trying to show me that she owns him. And then he acts all different and acts like he is married to her. And I'm like thinking,'okayy dude I'm not trying to steal him, calm down...I had my chance for the past 3 years.' So I wouldn't want to hang out with them both but I'll just go somewhere more non date-like.
You sound like a really good girl for still not wanting to screw her over despite not liking her, I've gotta commend that. What I would do though, in your situation, I'd suck it up and go with them for ONE date, and ask him privately to give you two some personal time. Tell her everything, the fact that you don't like her, but respect her enough to keep your distance, and that your intentions are pure. Make sure it's everything, the good AND the bad. Good luck.
Alright I think I will at least explain that to her. I honestly couldn't last a date with them though. She doesn't even really like me. And I'd feel awkward especially since he knows that I liked him a lot. I'd honestly probably just be hiding jealousy the whole time :/
And thank you for the compliment on my personality. I appreciate it when people notice that about me.

Because this is a blog devoted to publishing, we try not to stray too far from our book-related mandate. Today, however, as I follow the heart-rending coverage of the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan and the "concerns" about an unfolding nuclear disaster, not to mention events in Libya and Bahrain, I'm struggling to find a way to draw a line between the events I'm paying attention to and the topic I'm supposed to write about. The best I can do is point to indie publisher Melville House, which is donating proceeds from sales this week to Japan disaster relief. Somehow, discussing anything besides the assorted catastrophes taking place around the world feels like fiddling while Rome burns. I realize that this is a poor excuse for a once-a-week blogger. But the fact remains that today I'm stuck. For all you out there—you who (unlike me) are actual writers—to what degree does the news cycle crush your capacity to get words on the page? The fact that the computer is both tablet and a portal to the broader world complicates the task mightily. An author with an internet connection is no longer alone at her desk, so how do you keep the real world from intruding on the one you create? Disconnect? Dust off the Smith Corona? Or simply display better discipline than yours truly?
8 Responses to Stuck
I struggle with this a lot. I live in Wisconsin and thus I've not only been distracted by the news from elsewhere, but have found myself feeling like organizing to defend worker rights is a far better use of my time than sitting at my desk and writing. Then when I do sit at my desk to write, I first check the news and again feel like my purpose is too small, like my writing is a distraction from the world and not vice versa. The one thing that really keeps me at least somewhat focused on writing is the belief that there is no single correct way to contribute to a better world. We need EMTs and we need writers. We need scientists and we need musicians. If we can find two or three ways to contribute that is in accordance with our temperament and beliefs, we should do them all. I try to make my writing one of those things. And we need literary agents who remind us to step back for a minute to think about whether we really are focusing on the right things.
I admit that I have to disconnect. Even something as simple as disabling my network connection on my laptop keeps me from habitually clicking over to that sneaky internet icon and delving into the whirlwind online. I bracket my time–let myself read news for a set period–and then, for the sake of my sanity as well as my work, move on and get productive. Productivity–even if it doesn't relate to helping with the horrors unfolding elsewhere in the world–helps me cope. If I wasn't productive, I would stew. And if I stewed I would be constantly depressed. And being a depressed stew-y mess doesn't help Japan, Bahrain, or anybody at all.
I lived in Japan for four years and only returned six months ago, so this particular tragedy has been exceptionally difficult for me. I've watched the news, I've cried, I've worried over friends and students I left behind. Thankfully everyone is okay, but the worry is far from over, and this feels so close to me.
I haven't written since it happened. I'm planning to get back to it today, but I admit it's been very tough. I've had a hard time focusing through the emotions, so I just gave myself a little time off. Considering I tend to write very light, humorous scenes, it's especially hard for me to find the right tone at the moment.
So yes, this sort of thing does affect me. Maybe more this time than usual, but sometimes I have to stop and take a break and get my emotions back together and then I can write again. I'm going to start editing what I've already done today just so that I'm back to work, and I'm hopeful that the process will help me focus again as well. It's definitely been a bad week, though.
The most touching and flattering fan mail I've ever received was from a woman in Mississippi who told me that she'd spent a terrible day and night, huddled in her kitchen while Hurricane Katrina barreled down on her home. The only thing she'd had for company was a copy of a book I'd written and a flashlight to read it by. According to my dear fan, she'd felt less terrified when her walls shook, and her dishes rattled and holes began to appear in her roof because she'd somehow managed to escape into the story. Needless to say, I was blown away, (no pun intended of course…)
It dawned on me after reading her letter that we storytellers are here to serve a very real purpose to those wonderful people who purchase our books, and that isn't just to provide them with a form of entertainment; it's to provide them with a bit of escapism when the walls – both figurative and literal – are crashing down around them.
So, even though my heart aches for all those poor souls suffering in Japan, Bahrain, and Christ's Church, I focus on pounding out the very best story I possibly can, because it's my job and my purpose, but also, because it helps me find a little temporary peace too.
I've been able to get words down on my manuscript, but as a fellow approximately once-a-week blogger, I too struggled to come up with a post and also just posted a note about Japan. Doing otherwise just seemed disingenuous to me.
This is going to sound like a plug for my pathetically not-updated-often-enough blog, but I honestly don't mean for it to be. Before the quake in Japan but right after my home away from home (New Zealand) had their quake, I wrote a blog entry about this topic at http://www.epicality.com.
As a film lover (a story lover, really), I had been asking myself the question, "How can I justify celebrating the Oscars every year when so much bad stuff is happening?" I remembered the first Oscar ceremony after 9/11, when I had asked myself this question for the first time. But Tom Cruise said something then in his opening speech that has stuck with me ever since: "Should we celebrate the joy and magic movies bring? Dare I say it? More than ever."
This applies to all art, I think, even when tragedies are happening. The value is in the human spirit, the drive to create. It's in the willingness to embrace art as a positive force and accept that humanity doesn't just have to destruct itself; it can also share itself and inspire. We can create products out of nothing that change lives, that spark dreams, that promote hope, similar to the awesome story Victoria just shared above about her fan during Hurricane Katrina.
Not all important things in the world are bad. Art is a positive force. It is not just our human footprint but also a glimpse of the collective spirit that animates us. Whether you call it divine or simply a fluke of nature, that spirit is what keeps humanity going. It is the single thing that inspires people to help others out of earthquake rubble or rise up against injustice.
Maybe my viewpoint is naive, but it's what keeps me working, even when all these tragedies and atrocities are happening. At the moment, I can't do much else.
Just at the time I said to myself, I don't need to watch the Rachel Maddow show EVERY night…won't I be more productive without that interruption (I'm a "midnight writer")- Scotty Walker struck. Then the triple disasters in Japan…I was starting to wonder, what is wrong with me, why can't I turn away from this? It was like after 9/11, right after I found out, I had to drive somewhere, and I kept looking at the faces of the drivers going the other way (it was a 2-lane road) – do they know? Why don't they look more upset? And then one woman I saw was crying/driving, and then stopped at an intersection, someone else had their window all the way down, blaring their radio…so we all knew, even though mostly you couldn't tell, because we had our "driver faces" on…
And now I think, every huge event – it's like there's the physical tsunami right there and then, and simultaneously, an invisible tsunami – emotional, synaptic – relatively slow motion – that hits the rest of the (watching) world, thanks to (nearly) instantaneous global media…our brains have to rewire themselves, let a little more grief in…"tangential" though it may be to our "actual" lives…
Robert Frost has a poem, where he says about mourning (I paraphrase): Eventually the living find their way back to the living. Also reading Marina Tsvetaeva (who had a tragic ending) helps, because…she staked her claim in words. So what are you waiting for? Stake it.

About the performer
Paul Jacobs
The only organist ever to have won a Grammy (in 2011 for Messiaen's towering Livre du Saint- Sacrement), PAUL JACOBS combines a probing intellect and extraordinary technical skills with an unusually large repertoire, both old and new. "Paul Jacobs is one of the great living virtuosos," wrote Anne Midgette in the October 2, 2014 edition of The Washington Post, and in an article in The Economist (November 1, 2013), Jacobs was termed "America's leading organ performer." An eloquent champion of his instrument who argues that the organ for too long has been excluded from the mainstream of classical music, Paul Jacobs is known for his imaginative interpretations and charismatic stage presence. He has also been an important influence in the revival of symphonic music featuring the organ.
Heralded as "one of the major musicians of our time" by The New Yorker's Alex Ross, Paul Jacobs has transfixed audiences, colleagues, and critics alike with landmark performances of the complete works for solo organ by J.S. Bach and Messiaen, as well as works by a vast array of other composers. Jacobs made musical history at the age of 23 when he played Bach's complete organ works in an 18-hour marathon performance on the 250th anniversary of the composer's death. A fierce advocate of new music, Jacobs has premiered works by Samuel Adler, Mason Bates, Michael Daugherty, Wayne Oquin, Stephen Paulus, and Christopher Theofanidis, among others. As a teacher he has also been a vocal proponent of the redeeming nature of traditional and contemporary classical music, which he fears is being diluted in a popular culture.
Paul Jacobs began the 2016/2017 season with a recital at Lincoln Center's Paul Recital Hall, followed by orchestral engagements with the Cleveland Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the National Symphony Orchestra, the Montreal Symphony, the Kansas City Symphony, the Edmonton Symphony, and the Philadelphia Orchestra, where he gave the world premiere of Christopher Rouse's Organ Concerto and performed the Saint-Saëns Organ Symphony. He will also join the Toledo Symphony for a performance of Michael Dougherty's Once Upon a Castle, a work he recorded with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra which was released by Naxos in September 2016. Solo recitals include the Oregon Bach Festival, El Paso Pro Musica, and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center at Alice Tully Hall.
In the 2015/16 season, Jacobs and worldrenowned dramatic soprano Christine Brewer toured the program of their Naxos album Divine Redeemer, with appearances at Lincoln Center's "White Lights" Festival, at Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, Symphony Hall in San Francisco, the St. Louis Cathedral-Basilica, and Spivey Hall in Atlanta, GA. At the Pacific Symphony, Paul Jacobs curated and performed at a multiday organ festival.
In February 2016, he performed recitals throughout the United States, including at the Kennedy Center and Denver's Cathedral of St. John, and he appeared with orchestras including the Indianapolis Symphony and the Lexington Philharmonic. In summer 2016, Jacobs returned to the Oregon Bach Festival, where he is the director of the Festival's Organ Institute.
Prodigiously talented from his earliest years, at 15 young Jacobs was appointed head organist of a parish of 3,500 in his hometown, Washington, Pennsylvania. He has also performed the complete organ works of Olivier Messiaen in marathon performances throughout North America, and recently reached the milestone of having performed in each of the fifty United States. In addition to his recordings of Messiaen and Daugherty on Naxos, Paul Jacobs has recorded organ concerti by Lou Harrison and Aaron Copland with the San Francisco Symphony and Music Director Michael Tilson Thomas on the orchestra's own label, SFS Media.
Jacobs studied at the Curtis Institute of Music, double-majoring with John Weaver for organ and Lionel Party for harpsichord, and at Yale University with Thomas Murray. He joined the faculty of the Juilliard School in 2003, and was named chairman of the organ department in 2004, one of the youngest faculty appointees in the school's history. He received Juilliard's prestigious William Schuman Scholar's Chair in 2007.
In addition to his concert and teaching appearances, Paul Jacobs is a frequent performer at festivals across the world, and has appeared on American Public Media's Performance Today, Pipedreams, and Saint Paul Sunday, as well as NPR's Morning Edition, ABC-TV's World News Tonight, and BBC Radio 3.

Your k and epsilon values should be properly initialized to reach convergence quicker. Please refer the user manual for initialization. Once convergence is achieved, results should be independent of the starting conditions.

Hi Ali,
A bit lateral to your problem here, but perhaps useful for your research interest is that Hannu Ahlstedt presented a poster on k-epsilon comparison between Fluent and OpenFOAM at the 2008 OpenSource CFD conference in Berlin last December. The title is "Comparison of turbulence models in case of three-dimensional diffuser" by Aku Karvinen and Hannu Ahlstedt. On the website of the conference it says the proceedings will be online soon.

Hello folks,
We have just disabled 20 computer accounts in our Active Directory environment as we had to return the machines to the leasing company.
After we disable them, we move them to an OU that's not scanned by spiceworks.
Is there an easy way to get spiceworks to reflect this so the machines are removed from the database?
We need them to be removed as they are still showing up in our software reports.
I know you can delete them manually however I was hoping that it would be able to integrate with AD to reflect these changes.
Any help would be much appreciated.

[Connected car is] the presence of devices in an automobile that connect the devices to other devices within the car/vehicles and or devices, networks and services outside the car.
Taking into account this definition*, a big question remains: does the future of Automotive really belong to Connected Cars?
New technologies for a new paradigm
Before moving forward, it is important to know the main kinds of systems that can be connected through modular and/or embedded solutions. According to autoconnectedcar.com* these are:
- music/audio, podcasts, Internet radio via various devices such as smartphone or Internet-enabled tablet;
- navigation (either through a smartphone/iPhone application or through a built-in GPS navigation system);
- automotive system diagnosis (oil pressure, OB-II computer system information for service, engine diagnostics, …);
- bluetooth;
- road side assistance;.
- voice commands and hands-free controls;
- contextual help/offers;
- parking apps;
- automobile diagnostics;
- other services like steering for parking, engine-style-controls and other ADAS features;
- 4G Wi-Fi hotspots.
SEE ALSO: Biometrics, Wearable Technologies and Motorsport
Which are the main pros of connected cars?
Besides cyber security issues, connectivity applied to the Automotive sector – both with the external world and inside the car – offers a wide range of benefits, for each of the stakeholders involved**.
- Safer driving: via ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) and V2V (vehicle-to-vehicle) communication;
- Green driving: through big data solutions and V2I (vehicle-to-infrastructure) interactions;
- Entertainment/infotainment: by supporting different devices like smartphones, tablets, sensors, cameras, on-board diagnostics and automated driver assistance systems.
Undoubtedly, there are many benefits of connectivity**. We are not (just) talking about the possibility to buy food through in-car ordering dynamics***, but we are studying this solution from a higher and looking-forward perspective:
Any sensory data collected by a connected vehicle will be fused, analyzed and presented to a driver on the fly, alerting him to take a necessary action.
Will worldwide consumers be ready to use this innovation on a daily basis in the near future? If so, which other connected solutions may be put in place through new technologies, like Internet of Things? Participate now in the following LapTime Club community's challenges:

Action Comics #1 was published in June of 1938 and is recognized as the comic book that started it all marking Superman's debut. It's highly sought after and costs enough to make Bruce Wayne blanch, but if you have deep pockets, then it could be yours through an auction currently running on eBay.
For sale here is the single most valuable comic book to ever be offered for sale, and is likely to be the only time ever offered for sale during many of our lifetimes. There are no second chances. This is a NO RESERVE auction.
This is THE comic book that started it all. This comic features not only the first appearance of Superman, Clark Kent and Lois Lane, but this comic began the entire superhero genre that has followed during the 76 years since. It is referred to as the Holy Grail of comics and this is the finest graded copy to exist with perfect white pages. This is …. the Mona Lisa of comics and stands alone as the most valuable comic book ever printed.
This particular copy is the nicest that has ever been graded, with an ASTONISHING grade of CGC 9.0 ! To date, no copies have been graded higher and only one other copy has received the same grade. It is fair to say though that this copy blows the other 9.0 out of the water. Compared to the other 9.0 that sold for $2.1million several years ago it has significant superior eye appeal, extremely vibrant colors and PERFECT WHITE PAGES. This means after 76 years the aging process has yet to begin. Truly this book is a museum piece. It is one of only two copies of this comic in ANY condition to ever be graded with the distinction of having White pages, the other being a CGC 2.5!
If you are looking to purchase or invest in comic books this is without exaggeration the single best graded comic book that exists. It is the highest graded copy of the most sought after comic book in the hobby, and has the best possible page quality that can be assigned. If anyone has ever been curious what an Action Comics 1 looked like the day it came off of the newsstand 75 years ago, this is the answer.
This comic is the best of the absolute best and whoever wins this auction will be the envy of the entire hobby for many decades to come.
I proudly present Action Comics #1 CGC 9.0 WHITE Pages.
Please enjoy,
Darren Adams
This auction will not only make a collector somewhere very happy, but it will help a good cause since 1% of the final auction price will be donated to the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation.
See more about the comic in the video after the break.

The best thing to do with asking out a girl is to make her think it's not a date. Just two people going out. Ask her too do something you know she will love, so if she loves music take her to a concert or a piano bar or something. Make her an offer she can't refuse.00|00|0
Ok, but if it's one on one won't she know it's a date?
The best way to date someone is to think of them as a friend, someone you enjoy being around, and can see yourself hanging out with them. You can't change the way a girl thinks about you, so you must just see how things play out. By picking an activity you know she will love, it shows her you care about her interest. You have a better shot at landing her.

Original Packaging from the Royal Mint!The 2011 Silver Britannia features a new reverse design that continues to focus on Liberty and the Union Jack, as previous Britannias have. Inspired by the work of David Mach, the design on the 2011 Silver Britannia coins is a very patriotic tribute to British nationalism and pride.
Appearing at the heart of the billowing Union Flag, Britannia is seated with a trident and shield in the style of the classic image on pre-decimal pennies since Charles II. Produced by the Royal Mint, the Silver Britannia is legal tender in the United Kingdom has a face value of two pounds.
Britannia, the female personification of the British Isles, takes her name from an ancient term for Great Britain and has been a popular figure since the 1st century, when she was first depicted on Roman coinage under the rule of Emperor Hadrian. Illustrated as a goddess, Britannia resembles the Roman figure Boudica. Britannia first appeared on British coins in 1672, when she graced the farthing. She was a firm fixture on coins from this point onwards, appearing on pennies issued under every monarch from 1797 until decimalization, when she was chosen to appear on the 50 pence coin until 2008.
Over the years, the image of Britannia has altered slightly, with her maritime links being emphasized by switching her spear to a trident. Britannia is seen as a symbol of British unity, liberty and strength, meaning she resurfaces during particularly challenging times. Like Columbia in the U.S. and Marianne in France, Britannia becomes more prominent in times of war or when national pride is booming.
In 1987, Britannia's image graced the new Gold bullion coin minted by the Royal Mint known as the Gold Britannia. These Gold coins have since grown in popularity as an investment and a collector's piece. Gold Britannias are available in sizes as small as 1/20 oz and as large as 5 oz Gold coins. In 1997, the Royal Mint expanded this design to a Silver bullion coin known as the Silver Britannia. Over time, both the Gold Britannia and Silver Britannia have experienced changes in design and an increase in metal purity, making them major players in the modern coin market.

Danny's Point of View
I closed my locker and put my book under my arm.
"Are you serious?!" Rachel whispered.
"Yes!" I said.
"Oh, my god, if that happened to me I would die!" she exclaimed as we walked through the crowded hall to our next class.
"That would never happen to you," I said. "You don't have a boyfriend to sneak into your room at night."
She giggled. "But you do."
I sighed dreamily and smiled. "Yes, I do." We both laughed.
"No, but seriously," she said, getting serious. "I can't believe your dad knows about this and you're not freaking out."
The previous night, after Jake and I... got intimate... again... I was about to fall asleep when I heard whispering through the door. I got up and leaned on it to listen, and I heard my dad telling Jake he knew what we were doing and, surprisingly, was okay with it.
"Well," I told Rachel. "He said it was fine, though he thinks we've been together longer than we have, but I'm not about to correct him. I don't want my dad thinking I'm an easy lay. If that happened, then I would die."
"You're not, though," she said. "You actually haven't gotten laid, like, ever. And considering you're a guy, 18, and dating someone who's head over heels in love with you and is obviously dying to get in your pants, you are definitely not an easy lay."
I laughed.
"Seriously," she said. "You guys should do it already."
"Rachel!" I said. "We've been dating for five days today!" We reached our classroom and walked in.
After we were seated, next to each other, of course, she flipped her long blonde hair out of her face and looked at me.
"Officially, yes, you've been dating since last friday, but you've practically been together for three years. I mean, seriously, I knew Jake was gay even before he came out just by looking at you guys. They way you guys talk to each other, they way he looks at you, the fact that he's always hugging you for no reason, kissing your cheek, how jealous he got when you talked about Steven..."
She went on and on, and I realized she was right... about everything. Jake had been my boyfriend without either one of us realizing it basically since we met.
Funny that...
I smiled.
"I know what you're thinking," Rachel said.
"What?" I asked.
"You're thinking about it. Having sex with him."
"Rachel!" I whispered. She wasn't that loud, but still, we were in the middle of a classroom full of people I knew. I blushed furiously.
"You are," she defended, and of course I was. "It's okay, though, you have the perfect opportunity tomorrow night."
I frowned, confused, but then it suddenly clicked in my head. The Halloween party!
The teacher walked in and we had to stop talking, but I could see Rachel looking at me from my side view.
She was right... it was the perfect opportunity.
Jake's Point of View
I was standing at the cafeteria in line, waiting to get my food, when I heard someone calling me from behind.
I cringed. I recognized that voice. Steven Price... Danny's ex.
"What's up?" I asked casually, but without looking back towards him. Mike and Ian were standing next to me, looking uncomfortable for the confrontation that was sure to come. They were part of Danny's close group of friends, along with the girls: Rachel, Nora and Sarah, so they knew Danny had dated and just broken up with Steven.
"Nothing much," he said, coming up next to me. "Just found out you're dating that fag boy Daniel. Wanted to see if it was true."
Was the jealousy I heard in his voice? I'm pretty sure it was.
My jaw clenched and I balled my fists as I turned to look at him. He was actually a pretty good looking guy, but he was an insufferable asshole.
He was 5'11, lean but nicely muscled, which I knew from watching him shower after football practice, and he was well proportioned, if you know what I mean, but not as much as me. Still, it was a pretty decent size, and he had a handsome face with brown eyes and blonde hair, but, God, that attitude! It made me want to punch his pretty little mouth closed.
Controlling my temper, I smiled. "Yeah," I said cheerily. "It´s tru. I'm dating the same fag you were dating up until last friday."
Steven's smug smiled disappeared and he lost all color on his face. He turned to Mike and Ian, panic shown all over his face. He didn't know anyone knew about his 'secret.'
"Don't worry," I told him. "They already knew. So do I, and don't you forget that."
It was his turn to clench his jaw and ball his fists, obviously understanding my threat, and he walked off with a huff.
I'd wanted to punch him, but calling him out and making him vulnerable was just as good.
After grabbing our lunches, me and the guys went and sat at our table, were Danny was already sitting with Rachel and the girls.
"Hey baby," I greeted him with a quick peck on the lips. "How's your day going?"
"Good," he said with a smile. "Rachel and I were talking about the Halloween party again. It's tomorrow, and we still don't have our costumes."
"Danny, I don't like wearing costumes," I complained.
"You can wear your football uniform," Mike suggested.
"That's a good idea!" Danny said.
"Yeah," Mike went on. "Me and a few of the other guys on the team were talking and we're all wearing our uniforms to the party."
"Okay, then," I said. "That's a costume I don't mind wearing. But what about you, Danny? What're you gonna wear?"
"I don't know," he answered. "I'll think of something."
We ate our lunch and chatted some more, and when the bell rang we went to class.
A few hours later, when school was done, I went to the parking lot towards my car, and like always, Danny was already there waiting for me.
"Hey," I said with a peck to his full pink lips.
"Hey," he answered, smile bright. Once we were inside the car, and Danny's hand safely inside mine, he turned to look at me. "Guess what?" he asked as I started the engine.
"What, baby?"
"My mom just texted me. She says she's going out to lunch with some friends, and she's not gonna be home for a while, and dad's still at work, so..." He wiggled his eyebrows. He was so cute. I smiled.
Ten minutes later, Danny and I were going up the stairs to his room, shedding our clothes and trying to kiss in the process.
By the time we reached his bedroom door we were both naked, and like he always did, Danny was trying to suck my tongue into his mouth.
We went in, him walking backwards without letting go of my mouth, pulling at my hair, and when his legs hit the bed, I grabbed him and threw him onto it, separating us.
When he bounced on the bed, Danny giggled, but soon I was on top of him and smothering him with my mouth again. Meanwhile, he was making those sexy whimpering sounds of his and pawing at my back and waist, trying to bring us closer together.
I broke away from our kiss and started kissing and licking the side of his neck, and he resumed pulling at my hair while he panted. I made my way down his collarbone, to his nipples, then down the deep valley that bisected his abs, and dove into his bellybutton with my tongue, like I had done after our first date.
As I was doing this, Danny started moaning louder, arching his back and thrusting himself into my face.
"Jake," he said with a voice full of need. "Please..."
I knew what he wanted, since his need was poking me in the chin at the moment, it was so hard.
Leaving his navel, and with no further due, I slid down a little lower on him and took his whole penis in my mouth in one gulp.
"God!" Danny screamed. "Yes!"
I was about to pull off and tell him to quiet down, but then I remembered his parents weren't home. The neighbors could still probably hear him, but so what?
I started bobbing up and down, licking the underbelly of my beautiful boyfriend's cock, then pulling back and doing it again, until he was like one giant nerve.
"Oh, god, Jake!" Danny said. "I'm gonna cum!"
As soon as he said that, I pulled back until only the head of his pretty dick was in my mouth, and I used my hand to jerk him off.
"Oh god, oh god, oh god!" Danny exclaimed.
A second later he came, hard, in my mouth and I continued to jerk him off until the flood finished.
When I sensed he was done, I swallowed, taking my time to savor all of his juices. He was a little salty, but mostly sweet, like everything else about him. He was perfect.
I pursed my lips and pulled off with a pop, making Danny whimper. He was over-sensitive after having just came. I let go of his softening dick and got up on my knees in the bed.
"What did you think, baby?" I asked, already knowing the answer. "Was it good?"
He closed his eyes and leaned his head back into the pillow, melting into the bed. "Oh my god..." he whispered. "That was fucking heaven!"
I laughed. "I'm glad you approve." I laid down and pushed him onto his side so I could spoon him from behind.
He sighed contentedly when I put my arms around him and put his own on top of them. I kissed the back of his neck.
"Wait," he said. "You didn't finish."
He probably felt my erection poking the back of his leg.
"That's okay," I said. "You're tired."
We fell silent again.
"I'm sorry," Danny whispered after a second.
"Hey," I said, dislodging our arms and pulling him onto his back. I raised myself and looked down into his beautiful, regretful eyes. "You don't have to apologize. There's nothing for you to be sorry for."
"Yes there is," he said, taking me by surprise and grabbing my dick in his hand. He squeezed. I yelped. How embarrassing. "It's just..." he said. "I haven't really learned how to do it, and... I'm sorry, it just feels like so much work, but you make it look like it's so easy. It's frustrating."
"Danny," I said, reaching my hand up to touch his face. "You don't have to do anything you don't want to. I don't want you to be frustrated when you're with me. I won't ask you to do anything you don't like."
"I do like it!" he said. "But it's frustrating to know I'm not doing it right. I mean, I love how you taste, and feeling you in my mouth, but I can't take all of it, and that frustrates me."
"You don't have to take all of it," I assured him. "What you've done so far is amazing. You don't have practice, but when you do it... I don't know, it feels like... I don't know." I laughed nervously. "It feels weird to say it, but the way you do it feels like worship, and I love it."
Danny smiled and squeezed my cock again. "It is worship," he said, and his eyes went to my cock. "It's so perfect, and long, and thick, and pretty... it's meant to be worshipped." He leaned down and kissed the tip, and I almost collapsed.
"See?" I asked. "That's wonderful. You're already amazing. I have more practice, but you'll get there."
"Don't say that!" he said, suddenly mad.
I was shocked. I didn't think I'd said anything wrong, but I obviously had, and even though he looked really mad, Danny didn't push me off him, and he didn't let go of my penis.
"What did I say?" I asked.
"You keep saying how you're so experienced, how much practice you've had, and it makes me sick! I know you're not a virgin like me, and I know you've been around, but you're mine now. Hearing you say that makes me think of all the other guys that were before me, and that makes me angry. I don't want to think about anyone else touching you. You're mine now, Jake. This," he said, squeezing my dick again, "is mine. It may be attached to your body, but it's mine, you hear me?"
I could not believe it. Danny was jealous, and he was being possessive. I loved it.
"Yes," I managed to say before I started laughing.
"What's so funny?" he asked, trying to stay mad, but his smile betraying him.
"I'd never seen you like this. I like it."
"Well, I don't," he said with a smile. "So stop making me jealous."
I kissed him. "Okay. I promise I won't talk about it again. From now on, I have no past. I'm a virgin for you, Danny."
He smiled. "Perfect. For that, you get a reward." As soon as he said it, his grip on my dick loosened a little and he slid his hand down, then up, and then down again.
"Mmmmm," I moaned as he slowly and leisurely masturbated me.
He raised himself up and pushed at my chest.
"Lay back, babe," he said in a sweet voice that I was starting to notice he only used when we were being intimate.
I did as he asked, closing my eyes and leaning back until I was lying flat on the mattress, head on the foot of the bed. Danny straddled my thighs and grabbed a hold of my dick again. Then I realized -- he'd called me babe.
My eyes snapped open. "Wait a second," I said, and Danny stopped mid stroke. "Did you just call me babe?"
"Yeah," he answered with a sultry smile. "Is that okay?"
"It's fucking perfect," I said, and he smiled again.
Then he leaned down and spit on my cock, lubing it up before taking it back in both hands, twisting and stroking my cock slowly, lovingly, and with a look of wonder on his beautiful face.
"God, baby," I moaned. My eyes rolled to the back of my head, and I grabbed his solid, toned thighs in my hands while he made love to me with his hands.
"Is that good?" he asked quietly.
"It's magnificent," I whispered, eyes closed, toes curling and hands squeezing tanned, toned muscle.
Danny spit on my dick again and picked up his pace, bringing me closer and closer to orgasm.
I started moaning like crazy, and then Danny took the head in his warm, wet and wonderful mouth, teasing the slit with his tongue, and that was it.
I came forcefully, shooting jet after jet of hot jizz in his mouth, and he never backed off, swallowing every single drop even after I was done cumming, licking it all off and leaving my dick slick and shiny with his saliva.
I took him by one arm and pulled him on top of me, claiming his mouth as mine and sucking his tongue into my mouth like he always did to me.
"I love you so much, Danny," I said when we pulled off, both panting and struggling for breath. "So... so fucking much."
He just looked into my eyes for a long minute, and I knew. He loved me too.
He leaned down and we kissed again, rolling around on the bed until I was on top of him, then again until he was back on top, and then we kissed some more.
"If my dick is yours," I said between kisses, "then this is mine." I grabbed two handfuls of his voluptuous and firm round butt. "It's mine and no one else can have it."
"No," he panted, also between kisses. "No one. It's yours. Only yours."
His words made me even hornier than I already was, knowing he was submitting himself to me like that, and I just had to have him.
I knew it wouldn't happen right then, since his first time should be special and beautiful - he deserved that - but it would have to happen soon. Really soon.
Half an hour and a lot of kissing later, we were dressed and watching TV cuddled in the living room when his mom walked in.
"Hey boys," she greeted us when she saw us.
"Hey mom," Danny replied.
"Hey Mrs. Morrison," I said.
"How was your day today?" she asked, sitting down on the other couch. "Anything interesting happen?"
Boy, if only she knew.
"No," Danny replied, and I just knew he was smiling. "Same as always."
She smiled. "What are you watching?"
After the show we were watching was over, I decided to go home, so I said bye to Danny's mom and kissed him at the door, where he stood until I drove off.
Danny's Point of View
As soon as I saw Jake pull away from the driveway, I closed the door and ran up to my room. Once there, I took my phone and called Rachel.
"Hey Danny boy," she answered cheerfully. "What're you up to? I'm bored."
"Perfect," I answered. "I need to talk to you. Come over."
"I'll be right there," she said and hung up.
That was why she was my best friend. If I needed her, she was there as soon as humanly possible, no questions asked, and she knew I'd do the same for her.
Not a minute passed when I heard the front door open. Being Rachel, she obviously didn't need to knock. I heard her say hi to my mom and tell her she was coming up to my room, and then the door opened.
"Danny," she said, looking kind of scared. "What's wrong? Did you and Jake have a fight?"
I shook my head. "No. But he was here earlier, and... something happened." She approached the bed and sat next to me.
"What is it?" she asked. "What happened?"
"Well, we... you know...?" She smiled and nodded. "And it was a little more intense than the other times. It was... more intimate, more... meaningful. He's so wonderful, Rachel, but then he started saying how much experience he had, and I just snapped. I told him to stop talking about his past, because just thinking about him with someone else makes me jealous. And I... god, this is so embarrassing... I... I told him he was mine." Rachel smiled again and tried to cover it with her hand, but it was enough to make me blush. "I got all clingy and stuff, but he was so amazing about it. He didn't make me feel embarrassed. He actually said that he was mine, and then he said that I was his too... and I agreed."
Rachel couldn't contain herself anymore.
"Oh, my god!" she said and playfully slapped my arm. "You guys don't waste any time, do you? That's perfect!"
"That's not it, though," I said. "After all of that happened, I... made a decision." She looked at me expectantly. "I'm gonna do it. I'm having sex with Jake tomorrow night after the party."

Online Dating is all the rage these days and is very popular because it yields results. However, there are some inherent drawbacks. One of the primary drawbacks is that women are basically apprehensive to the idea of personally meeting with a man that met online.
With all of the recent negative press abound regarding online dating, this cautious attitude may be well justified. Of course, it is wise decision for the females to proceed with caution, however, this creates somewhat of a catch-22.
The fear, caution and concern of the females towards online dating makes it extremely difficult for the honest and sincere males who are truly looking for a romantic connection.
This dilemma leads us to the question, what can I, as a male, do to overcome this female paranoia of online dating? What is the "secret" for men to succeed in Online Dating?
Well guys, to be perfectly honest, there is no perfect answer. However, here are some online dating tips that you can use to increase your chances of success.
1. Patience. First, an most importantly, patience is the key. When you first make contact with your potential romantic connection, keep the conversation low key. Straight away inquiring about her personal information such as her true name or inquiring about her place of residence will seem pushy and arouse her suspicions towards your intentions.
2. Don't Be Pushy. When chatting online with your potential romantic connection, your initial conversations should be short, sweet and interesting. This way, you have the chance to rapport with her, communicating with each other in a relaxed atmosphere. Don't rush the relationship and pressure her for a one-on-one meeting. This will only make you appear to be suspicious. Instead, show patience and understanding towards her and the relationship by letting it grow and develop over time.
3. Honesty. Honesty is essential to growing and developing your online dating relationship. Tell the truth about your appearance and employment situation. Being dishonest will undo all of the work that you put forth in building a relationship built on trust and sincerity. Furthermore, the lies that you have told will most certainly be revealed if you do eventually meet and all will be ruined.
4. Photographs. Don't be shy or embarrassed to show your potential romantic connection the real you. Post photos in your profile that show the "real," everyday, you. Examples of great photos could be you playing your favorite sport, enjoying your hobby, visiting a famous landmark in your area or even a yearbook photo from high school. And even better, be sure to post a recent photo that shows your body from head to toe, not just a mug shot of your face.
5. Meeting her one-on-one. Once your romance connection feels comfortable meeting with you one-on-one, this is your opportunity to rise to the occasion. Be smart as this is an extremely delicate situation for her, so proceed with caution. The smart move would be to arrange a lunch date at a popular dining spot. In addition, being the true gentlemen that you are, why not ask her to invite a girlfriend along. This will make her feel safe, less apprehensive and more open to communicating with you.
As you can see from above, you can be successful and meet your romantic connection by using some basic online dating tips. Just mind your P's & Q's, be honest, be sincere, be a gentlemen and most important, be patient. Good Luck!

An early version of this story was amended Monday after speaking with the family of one of the victims. We apologize if we offended anyone, that certainly was not our intention.
BARSTOW — Authorities identified two Barstow men killed Saturday night after the vehicle they were traveling in left the roadway and then struck a train near the Yucca Avenue overpass.
San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner Department officials said Dupree Steele, 39, and Ramund Woods, 35, were pronounced dead at the scene after authorities responded at approximately 11:20 p.m.
Barstow Police Department officers responded to a call from a BNSF employee reporting a collision on the railroad tracks under the overpass. Officers arrived and found a 2009 Nissan Pathfinder had collided with the westbound train after plummeting down a 35-foot cliff, police said.
"The investigation revealed the driver of the vehicle was traveling southbound on Yucca Avenue and for unknown reasons lost control of the vehicle, crossed over the northbound lane of Yucca Avenue, continued into the desert area just north of the east side of the railroad bridge overpass and off the dirt ledge landing on the railroad tracks at the bottom of a 35-foot cliff. After the vehicle came to rest on the railroad tracks a westbound train collided with the vehicle," police said in a statement.
The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to call Corporal Nevarez at 760-256-2211. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call the WeTip hotline at 800-782-7436 or visit www.wetip.com.
