Dealer Selection Receive your free dealer pricing information by completing your contact information! There are a couple cars in our long term fleet that just scream road trip, like our Cadillac CTS-V Wagon, Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid, Audi A8 4.2 and even our Volkswagen Jetta TDI. One car that probably doesn't rush to the forefront as a long-haul cruiser is our 2012 Hyundai Elantra Limited. It's your basic compact commuter car, how good can it be on a long distance trip?The answer is pretty good actually. Over the long Martin Luther King Jr. weekend I loaded up our long-term Elantra and hit the road for the 964 mile jaunt to Portland. Yeah that hipster one in Oregon. As Production Manager and vehicle chaperone Kirill Ougarov said to me upon handing over the keys, "You've heard about flying right?"The plan was pretty simple. Load up in Los Angeles, hit I-5 and drive till I hit Redding, Calif. where I was to pick up my lovely girlfriend. From there we'd hop back on I-5 and shoot to arrive at our friend's place in Portland a little after midnight.I must admit, I was pleasantly surprised with how well the Elantra handled the freeway journey up to Portland. My initial concern before I set off was that its 1.8-liter 148-hp and 131 lb-ft four-banger would have to work hard to keep up with I-5's traffic which usually flows at least 10 to 15 mph over the 70 mph speed limit. As it turns out my concerns were unwarranted, and the Elantra eagerly cruised all the way up the coast at those speeds without any white-knuckled passing moments.Another concern of mine was that spending 17 hours of my day in a compact car would drive me insane. Again, I was pleasantly surprised. The Elantra's interior was comfortable, quiet, and had plenty of space to hold all the road trip necessities. Our Elantra also has an easy-to-use iPod connection and Bluetooth interface, which proved handy when listening to satellite radio grew old after the first 10 hours of the trip. Also welcome were the Elantra's heated seats – especially since they annoyingly don't have an adjustable lumbar support.Not surprisingly, the Elantra did just as well in the streets of Portland as it did on the interstate. The Elantra was quick, easy to park, and kept all of us all sufficiently warm after we got soaked checking out Multnomah Falls, and the Bridge of the Gods, which I was disappointed to find out is actually just a bridge across the Columbia River to Washington, and not some bad ass bridge to the heavens. Oh well.The backdrop of the Multnomah Falls and the Bridge of the Gods did give me a new appreciation for the Elantra's looks and Hyundai's fluidic design language. I actually started to like the Elantra's "atomic guppy" looks, and seeing the little Elantra against the falls and the steel truss bridge made me realize that the Elantra's actually a pretty handsome car. Will the design be dated in a few years as a few of my colleagues have said? Possibly, but here and now in 2012 the Elantra looks fresh and modern.Headed back to LA through Redding again, the Elantra faced the first strike of the storm that's paralyzed much of the Pacific Northwest the past week or so. The Elantra handled sleet, snow and rain with nary a flash from the traction control light. Chalk that up to its stock all-season tires, a transmission that (smartly) doesn't constantly hunt for gears, and luck that we didn't hit snow on the Siskiyou Summit which at 4310 ft was the most treacherous part of the trip.Overall, I walked away rather impressed with our Elantra long termer. The little commuter car handled a 2044.6 mile weekend like a champ. Was it perfect? No – the steering feel could use a little work and although we never quite saw the 40 mpg mark on the highway, (over the entire trip it performed well in mpg department given the conditions, more on that in an upcoming long term update) the Elantra still took everything we threw at it with aplomb and no real complaints. If it came down to it I can't say I'd hesitate to head to hipster heaven again in our long term Elantra.Mileage: 12,000 Share this article in: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Email Our Cars: Heading to Hipster Heaven in our 2012 Hyundai Elantra Limited /7 Advertisement to Skip 1|7 2|7 3|7 4|7 5|7 6|7 7|7

I'm frequently asked why I support Hillary Clinton. After all, she's only, to quote the New York Daily News' colorful endorsement, a "super prepared warrior realist," without the socialist leanings and revolutionary rhetoric that characterizes her democratic opponent, or "best words" and tiny hands associated with her republican rival.
Now, there are many lists and articles out there in which other Hillary supporters share why and how they've come to back her presidential candidacy. But I think that Hillary abundantly deserves something cooler than a list or article (though I love those too), of which, to her credit, she already has many. So since I don't do slam poetry (sorry, just not going to play the bongos, guys), here's my ode to Hillary Clinton in which I explain my ardent support for her, vaguely free verse style. I will include links where relevant, but please know that I've chosen just a few of many commendable and reputable sources, and am in no way affiliated with any of them. Here we go, just some of the multifarious reasons why I'm with her, in no particular order.
She has a record of fighting for progressive and liberal causes as a lawyer, First Lady, and senator, and her ideals matched with her thoughtful plans to actualize them speaks for itself. "Anger is a powerful emotion, but it's not a plan."
She has consistently been an advocate for extending affordable healthcare to Americans, a near and dear issue to me, one that intimately touches my life and the lives of loved ones.
She won the endorsement of the Human Rights Campaign based on her LGBT record and her inspiring speech on LGBT rights, echoing her famous line that "women's rights are human rights."
She is the first major party candidate to centerpiece women's rights and women's health as major elements of her platform.
She's a long-time feminist and proud of it.
She is a staunch supporter of gun control, made a point of wearing orange on National Gun Violence Awareness Day, and won the endorsement of the highly respected Everytown for Gun Safety.
She oh so elegantly and gracefully owned The Donald.
She embodies revolution: electing the very first female president would be monumental for our country, helping shatter the glass ceiling, allowing us to show, not tell, young girls that they too really can grow up to be president.
She received the first-in-history endorsement of the Natural Resources Council Defense Action Fund, validating her pragmatic approach to addressing climate change and environmental hazards.
She supports campaign finance reform, and is in a unique position to do so, given that the Citizens United case started in the first place because of an anti-Hillary film.
She appeals to a diverse group of Americans along ethnic and gendered lines.
She possesses skill and experience in foreign policy, recognizing subtleties and nuance, seeking to exhaust diplomatic efforts before pursuing forceful strategies.
She has demonstrated an ability to hold her head high and remain above the fray, even when faced with truly difficult and ugly situations, which I believe bodes well for how she would represent our country to the world community.
And hey, she's just a pretty darn amazing person.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) – West Virginia University has delayed the opening of a new $70 million student housing complex.
University officials had expected the University Place complex to be ready in time for the student move-in on Aug. 15. The fall semester begins Aug. 18.
Dean of students and director of housing Corey Farris tells media outlets that harsh winter weather caused construction delays. He says the building likely won't be ready for several months.
The university has offered temporary housing locations to students who signed a lease at the complex.
The complex's building can house up to 980 students. It also will have retail space on the first floor.

VR or No VR in Street Candids?

Re: VR or No VR in Street Candids?
In reply to Sener • Sep 12, 2013
Not too sure why VR is a problem. It comes on a lot faster than a few seconds, and if you're taking candid shots then it'll come on in the time it takes you to get your camera to your eye.
So I guess that then means its more a choice of cost than anything else.

The extremely friendly staff, great pool and restaurant and how they acted when they knew it's our honeymoon.. they changed our room to one with a view, upgraded our package, sent us a wedding cake and a congratulations letter to the room.. all small gestures but really made us so happy and made our stay there remarkable.
Excellent facilities, beautiful landscape, nice, heated pool, clean, long shore, spacious room and bathroom. I'd like to thank Mr. Hussainy for his generous hospitality and kindness.
Everything but to get from the hotel we had to use a driver who charged far too much and he was the only option to get from the hotel as there are no buses or other taxi in the area.
The hotel, the staff and the weather made this a great place for recharging our batteries. We would be happy to return any time!
The hotels location is absolutely beautiful. The rooms are stunning and the beach has a few to kill for. Undoubtedly the best part of my tour to Egypt

And onest prices. Really we spent a greate vacation and will return back soooooooooon ( viva l'egitto )
We stayed at The Tropitel Sahl Hasheesh for two weeks in August. Great quiet up and coming location. Fantastic coral pool towards the end of the longest pier in Sahl Hasheesh which cuts out the waves so children can enjoy the fish. Great pool area's at the hotel with enough sun beds for now. The hotel is huge and areas are improving to incorporate the second half of the hotel rooms to be opened soon. 24hr bar is also a bonus, with a good choice of drinks. Food changes every day in a weekly rotation with lots of choice. The Mexican and italian restaurants are beautiful so well done to the chef.
The hospitality is evident from moment zero. Everyone tries his best to make you feel good. Easy reservation via Booking so much thanks. The stay was very relaxing and the room was perfect with a good sea view. The food was great although sometimes boring. The pool and the Jacuzzi was fascinating.
Variety of the food is not high but the taste and presentation are reasonably good. Service level in the restaurants, pool and beach is satisfactory.
-As an architect I have to say very nice interior as well as exterior and landscape design and finishing . – Nice smell and atmosphere – very comfy – Tennis court for my son training – Helpfull friendly staf – Big rooms and they brought a bed for my 8 year old son and another for my 2 year old daughter for free !!!! So I recommend it very much for families as well as honeymooners. – Kids area with lots of activities , so we were very much pleased when we had the chance me and my wife to spend some time together without the kids on our anniversary. – Very nice bridge in the water leading to a natural snorkeling pool in the sea water with a wall of natural coral reaves so you can snorkel no matter how the weather is , still you can go snorkeling or diving in open sea on a VERY long coral reave wall extending along the beach as far as your eyes can see , no need for paying extra money in boat trips. – Very nice and creative animation team we loved all their shows at the beach by night. – very comfy beach with a lot of private bamboo cabins – Very romantic by night at the pool and at the beach. – The best value for money hotel – Shopping mall inside the hotel. – Very quite hotel yet if you want fun at night you still can find it with animation team at the beach – Good varity in food
The Hotel design was amazing with its huge pool and Shaded beds on the beach. The open buffet every night was gr8, especially the dinner. The animation team was very friendly and professional. The rooms are spacious and clean. The hotel deserved its 5 stars rating
Staff was very supportive, special thanks to booking, Remon from reception, Ahmed and Hassan from beach, Mohamed from restaurant and housekeeping Great location for snorkeling and diving. Excellent food with many varieties. Excellent Mexican and Italian restaurants. Excellent pool with jacuzzi. Excellent animation team
The landscape is ideal with a fabulous swimming pool , room is very comfort with a very nice bathroom , beach is ideal for snorkeling , the Italian restaurant on the beach , parties and activities for children all day, very nice for families
The check-in was very easy and fast. The room was specious , clean , very modern. The food was excellent (Breakfast was ok with the same menu every day but the Dinner was excellent with different cousin every night). The night shows offered on daily basis on the beach. Thanks to Olga in the animation team who were responsible for the kids activities and entrainment.
Everything was great and Best value for money as this is our second year in the hotel as guests. Animation team show at 9:00 pm on the beach had nice varieties every day and was very interesting Oriental food day at restaurant was great , wish it was more often.
– big lovely, stylish, modern, clean deluxe room with amazingly comfortable beds & huge, nice bathroom – welcoming with a compliment drink – 1st night dinner – /half board/ (the food was unique, delicious, big variety, absolute great quality) – the whole hotel was spotless clean, modern, quiet, luxurious – pools were fun – check out was quick and our requested packed breakfast for our very early check-out was generous, good – the hotel said to be fully booked but you just didn't feel it (it was still quiet, clean, organized)
The staff were second to none, they looked after our every need especially Fakrey in the restaurant, Tamir (also known as Tom Cruise) at the pool bar/oriental bar and finally George in the lobby bar.
Nothing much really. I dont want to be unfear to the hotel, if you are looking for relax and quite atmosphere then go for it. if you are looking for fun and enjoying night life in town, then leave it as the hotel is 20-25 minutes drive from the downtown if you have a car, if you need to take a taxi then u will waste your time & money.
I liked the hotel facilities, cleanliness, freindly staff. The pool design was wonderfull, and the facilities by the beach was amazing. I definitely want to stay again at that hotel.
although the hotel is far , but it is very comfortable. The cleanliness is more then excellent and the staff is very friendly specially at the restaurant. Thanks a lot. We had a wonderful time.
Staff extremely attentive. Rooms spacious and decorated with a fresh modern feel. Pool and gardens very well manicured. Free shuttle to local town a nice touch. Special thanks to Ali, who worked tirelessly to make everyone feel welcome.
Really it was a fantastic trip. Tropitel Sahl Hashish is a very good resort not just a hotel. HURGHADA is the best city I've ever seen. The whether these days (January) in HURGHADA is more than excellent. All my family members enjoyed the resort, the nice whether and also the sea.
Quality of staff, especially from the catering staff. Food throughout the stay was perfect. Even catering for multiple allergies.
What I really liked I the whole thing, really the accomodation was so stunning , the staf was very friendly, the room was always clean tidy, neat and good smelly the reception hospitality was exceptional, the room view was atonishing and a really special thanks for the animation team they are really good and cool specially( artur, christina, abdo and kuku) SOME GUYS FORM THE STAFF LEFT A GOOD IMPRESSION( Abd ElFattah the house keeping man, salah the bar tender, Mr. Hany and Mr Tarek Elkasaby the restaurent managers,ibrahim the shisha bar tender. really all the staff was helpful and polite , and i'll be a repeater isa. because exceptional service is hard to find these days
+ Excellent house reef, wonderful snorkeling (if you go, don't stand on the reef!) + Pretty pool and nice gardens + Large beautiful rooms + Excellent spa/massage center + Quite good food + Some animation, but not too much.
The hotel staff were helpful where needed and the location was good. The speciality restaurants on the premises were very good they served higher quality food than the main restaurant. The main restaurant had many varied meals which was good but at a lesser quality.

text: Ok, just when I find a cool show I like, I find out it's being cancelled. The latest on the chopping block is Fox's Surviving Jack. It's a show about a teenage kid and his crazy family. I love that it was set in the 1990s. I grew up in the 90s and could completely identify. If that wasn't awesome enough, there's an entire episode where the mom is losing her friendship with her son. "He was my best friend!" I feel the exact same way about my little guy, and it makes me so sad to know that one day he will be too cool for me. I will probably just as crazy as that sitcom mom too.

It was only hours old, and already Michael Douglas's elaborate new Web site (www.michaeldouglas.com) was turning cybercoy. The site features a homey greeting ("Come on in and surf around"); plugs for Douglas's next film, Wonder Boys; and word of his New Year's Day engagement to actress Catherine Zeta-Jones. "You know as much as I do now," reads the page designated "News." That's doubtful: On Jan. 28 the couple confirmed that Zeta-Jones is pregnant.
The pair, expected to wed this year, haven't revealed the date of their nuptials (or when they learned of the pregnancy). Douglas, 55, who has admitted to losing 15 lbs. since meeting the never-wed Zeta-Jones in 1998, has yet to divorce first wife Diandra, 43. Separated in '95, they'll be officially split in a few months, says a source.
While Zeta-Jones, 30, will have to put her career on hold ("She isn't going to be riding any horses like in The Mask of Zorro for a while," says one of the film's producers, David Foster), Douglas himself plans to kick back as he starts Round Two as papa. (As for his son, club deejay Cameron, 21, the Manhattan district attorney's office last week decided not to seek an indictment against him on charges of cocaine possession following a November arrest. He awaits a plea agreement.) "The advantage now is that in my career I have nothing to prove," Douglas said last week. "So I'm looking forward to the baby."

For No Good Reason Reviews
Top Critic
May 8, 2014
A savage journey into the heart of the artist's dream to change the world by making his mark.
Full Review | Original Score: 1/5
June 12, 2014
Instead of embracing the chaotic discovery that Steadman personifies, the film ends up being merely a paint-by-numbers.
May 2, 2014
The doc will certainly make you want to find a book of Steadman's work, and perhaps even read some of Thompson's writing again. But doing either of those things feels like a better way to experience true gonzo-ness than this movie.
Full Review | Original Score: C
Top Critic
May 16, 2014
For No Good Reason sidelines Steadman's own bona fides, functioning primarily as a second-hand documentary of Thompson, stoking the hagiography of the late hipster icon.
October 30, 2014
Despite intending to expand upon Steadman's output and impact, the documentary boils the importance of his oeuvre down to the obvious.
April 24, 2014
For No Good Reason is an absolute mess from start to finish, a portrait of an artist that's almost rendered redundant by his art
June 5, 2014
The artist often doesn't even get to take center stage in his own movie.
Top Critic
April 23, 2014
The result is a bit unwieldy, casting too wide a net to really plumb its subject's depths, and defanging some of Steadman's acid wit with an overly busy, hit-and-miss aesthetic approach.
May 29, 2014
A mewling yet occasionally deafening - and seemingly arbitrary - soundtrack overflowing with upstart folk-rock nobodies adds little to the experience.
Top Critic
December 5, 2013
Rarely has a film's title been so apt.
April 22, 2014
There's no questioning the love that Paul and his interview subjects feel about Steadman. But the movie's problem isn't a dearth of adoration -- it's a lack of focus.
Top Critic
April 22, 2014
When a documentary feels the urge to shout about its celebrity cast with a lengthy, elaborate opening-credits sequence, could it be making up for shortcomings elsewhere?
Top Critic
April 24, 2014
"For No Good Reason" is less revealing than a standard hourlong television tribute might have been. We learn almost nothing about Mr. Steadman's life, and too little about the non-Thompson-related aspects of his oeuvre.
May 29, 2014
Paul struggles to contain Steadman's profligate energies in 90 minutes, and the waning presence of Johnny Depp, loitering between poor career choices to pull on a cigarillo and point at pictures, can't give it shape.
September 5, 2013
Paul's decision to pepper the proceedings with animated stretches, which surely sounded good on paper, proves relatively disastrous...
Top Critic
April 21, 2014
Visually impressive but ultimately unrevealing.
Top Critic
April 24, 2014
[It becomes] less interesting as it stretches to feature length, sometimes resembling a handsomely illustrated CV.
Full Review | Original Score: C+
June 20, 2014
The movie always circles back to Thompson, as if Steadman were a tetherball attached to the writer. In this way, Paul doesn't quite justify the need for a feature film about his subject (as opposed to, say, a profile segment on '60 Minutes').
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4
April 20, 2014
Charlie Paul isn't content to let his stock footage and interviewees lead for him, driven as he is to "make something out of a frame of mind," though to needlessly busy effect.
October 10, 2014
Steadman's illustrations could burst with baroque details, but one thing you would never call them is "busy." They had a focus, a mission, that "For No Good Reason" often lacks.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

There are something like five and a half million car accidents throughout the country each year. That's over one hundred thousand accidents per state. Studies suggest around 40,000 fatalities result nationally. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that car accidents result in three million injuries nationwide on an annual basis.
If you're in Florida, chances are you're calling a respectable personal injury lawyer after the accident. Driving in the state of Florida is like you're suddenly in another country, some Caribbean island with little in the way of traffic laws. Transport yourself… right on out of here! Drive defensively, but not too slow, or too fast at all. And never use the left lane as the nationally recognized and mandated "passing lane". Either speed like all get out, swerving and drifting along the gray ribbon as if there weren't lines painted all over it… or drive slower than necessary anywhere, but make sure you're in the passing lane the whole time, so no one can get around you.
The National Center for Health Statistics states that "31 million people are injured across (the) country each year that require medical treatment". 31 million! This is a stampede! Imagine if all of these people require a personal injury attorney. Chances are, most do!
Ah, the plight of the injured in America. We're not talking self-inflicted accidents, like running off the end of the roof, or stubbing your toe on the running lawn mower blade. Injuries that are your fault aren't typically ideal scenarios for successful personal injury cases. But for the tragedies that befall us in the outside world, it does provide some comfort knowing we won't be left high and dry if we're injured at the fault of another. Plus, if you're in Florida you're in pretty good shape because the statute of limitations gives you four years to file a lawsuit. So kick your feet up! Unless you've injured your feet, I mean. Then, don't kick anything.

Room 401, Noonish SaturdayApr. 6th, 2013 08:39 am
There was absolutely no good reason for a teenage android to be up before noon on a Saturday. None. And when that teenage android had The Best Girlfriend in the World, TM, next to him ... well, the chances of him getting out of bed at all that day went down a bit.
Victor's eyes slipped open, and he vaguely contemplated the existence of pancakes and a world outside his room before beginning to drift back to sleep.
[OOC: Preplayed with the lovely dirtiest_skank. Establishy.]
Victor's eyes slipped open, and he vaguely contemplated the existence of pancakes and a world outside his room before beginning to drift back to sleep.
|Olive had had really cute prom hair, and really cute prom makeup, before she had gone to bed. Alas, such cuteness was no more, and hopefully Victor's sheets would not suffer the worst of her mascara, and Olive wouldn't frighten anyone with the overnight effects of slept-upon updos.
For the moment, though, she was not especially concerned about these factors so much as how warm and cozy and nice this was, just kind of dozing and enjoying her Saturday morning. (She honestly couldn't swear as to whether it was technically still morning, really, but that was also pretty low on her list of concerns.)
|Victor's hand moved over, petting that horribly slept-upon updo. It wasn't intentional; it was just where his arm fell as he slid it along the pillow. But it was soft(ish) and he was staying right where he was, thank you very much.
Miss Mystery
|... or maybe not, judging from the energetic tapping at the room door.
"Dad, Mom, are you in there? I'm bored and you've been asleep foreevvvvvver."
|Olive -- who had been enjoying her slow, comfortable ascent into being fully awake -- cracked an eyelid, staring at the door.
"...did you hear that?" she murmured. Maybe it had been a dream?
|"No," Victor said weakly.
Possibly because he wasn't quite awake. It might also have been because he was a bad liar.
Whoever was outside their door had sighed massively and started tapping out shave-and-a-haircut.
|"Um, no, there's definitely someone knocking," Olive said, with increasing irritation as she actually came fully awake. She checked to make sure she actually had put clothes on last night before crashing (score one for Team Always-Being-Cold) before toddling over to the door to open it.
...and there was a little girl there. "Um. Hi."
Miss Mystery
|"Hey Mom," the little girl said, as if a)they had ever seen her before and b)it was perfectly natural she'd be in their bedroom before noon on a Saturday. "Your hair's all messy. You should comb it. Also I want a donut."
|"We just woke up," Victor groaned. "We don't have donuts. And she's not your mom, chica."
Victor was not the most pleasant person when he was barged in on by random children.
|"Mom?" Olive echoed, staring at the little girl. "I'm...what? You're like five or something and I am not old enough to be the mom of a kid that old and what?"
Olive had once been warned about this, but she was having selective memory problems at the moment.
Miss Mystery
|The little girl gave her a skeptical look with eyes the same liquid green-hazel as Victor's.
"You and Dad are being weird," she decided. "You're totally old enough to be my mom, and I was five, like, forever ago. Now I'm seven and a half."
The half was very important.
|"Oh my god she looks like us," Olive said, still kind of hesitant to address the -- no, her, apparently -- child directly. "Victor, she looks like us."
|"She -- what?" Victor was beginning to remember he, too, had been warned about this.
He pulled his t-shirt on under the covers and closed in on the girl like she was some exotic animal. "She's got your chin," he told Olive. "But my eyes."
This was weird. He sounded awed; he wasn't sure if he wanted to hug the little girl or do experiments on her.
|"So this is bizarre," Olive said, in the conversational tone of one just moments shy of a mental breakdown. "Um. What's your name?"
She needed a name to sub in for scary words like 'daughter,' please.
|"Nellie," the little girl answered, in the tone one might use if one suspected one's mother was close to a mental breakdown. "You guys named me for abuela but Marianella's way too long for anybody to say all the time so you just call me Nellie."
She glanced from one parent to the other. "You seriously didn't know I was coming?"
|"Honey, do we look like we were prepared for this?" Olive asked, trying to modulate her tone and talk like she was, you know, talking to her child.
Since she was, and all.
|Victor was still gobsmacked. He'd always thought kids would be nice someday in theory, but there was a big difference between that and having what was to all appearances his kid, with his mom's name and his eyes, standing in front of him.
Well, this answered his question about whether he could have kids. So that was good, he guessed?
"Total surprise," he ventured. "But we're happy to see you. Um ... you said you want donuts?"
He wasn't doing quite as well at modulating his tone as Olive was. But he was definitely trying.
|"Yes! Donuts! We can do that. We can make donuts happen, right?" Olive said, a little uncertainly. She didn't want to fail at her first task of apparent parenthood.
|"And a mocha," Nellie added, nonchalantly. If her parents were confused, she was going to press her luck. "You always let me at home."
It was weird they didn't expect her, but they were more or less acting like her parents now. She could handle this.
|"And a mo -- wait a second," Olive said, holding up a finger. "Lookit, missy, you are going to grow up tall like your mom, and not stunt your growth. Hot chocolate, not a mocha."
|"Your mom's right," Victor confirmed -- and that felt very weird to say. "Hot chocolate, 'cause you don't need to give my short genes any help, and then we can figure out what we're doing for the rest of the day."
He looked wistfully at his bed as he said that. Obviously Plan A was not happening.
|"And you can catch us up on what you've been up to lately," Olive added with a quick look towards Victor. "Because we're forgetful like that."

Avoid Getting Soaked
Homeowners don't want to end up under water, which makes flood insurance a must – here's what you need
onsumers purchase homeowners insurance to safeguard their property from a variety of perils, including fire, wind damage, theft, and vandalism. But they often incorrectly assume that a major water hazard – flooding – is included in their coverage. Not to worry, you may think: I don't live in a coastal area, near a dam or levee, or a region affected by hurricanes. But truth be told, it can flood anywhere affected by precipitation. In fact, heavy rainfall, severe storms, and fast-melting snow are significant causes of flooding, as are wildfires and construction and development that can alter natural paths of drainage. Floods remain the country's number one natural disaster, accounting for an average of more than $1.9 billion per year in total flood insurance claims between 2006 and 2015; the average flood-related claim today exceeds $46,000, and the top states for flood claims include Texas, South Carolina, Florida, Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma, Illinois, Louisiana, Washington, and Indiana. Whether you currently own or are considering purchasing a residence, experts strongly recommend investing in optional flood insurance, regardless of the area. "Typically, property insurance policies do not cover flood damage, and this exclusion is often highlighted in bold letters on the declarations page of each policy," says Gina Clausen Lozier, Boca Raton, Fla., an associate at Berger Singerman law 4
firm. Therefore, in order to be covered for flood loss, property owners must obtain a separate flood insurance policy," "Separate flood policies generally provide coverage for losses caused by storm surges of tidal water that result in flooding, or the overflow of water from an inland body of water." Flood insurance may actually be required if three conditions are met: you buy a property located in a federally designated special flood hazard area, your community participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), and your home is or was financed by a federally regulated lender or backed by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae. Homes located in these high-risk areas have at least a one in four chance of flooding over the course of a 30-year mortgage; but even moderate-to low-risk areas submit more than one in five NFIP claims and receive one-third of Federal disaster assistance for flooding. Butch Kinerney, marketing and outreach chief for the Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration (FIMA), which manages the NFIP, says NFIP flood coverage is offered by a number of private insurance companies or may be purchased directly from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). "The first step should be to speak with your current insurance agent to determine if you can purchase flood insurance from them. You can also visit FloodSmart.gov to review a list of agents selling NFIP flood insurance in your area and to look up an estimate of the flood risk for your structure," says Kinerney, who additionally suggests visiting msc.
fema.gov to review the Flood Insurance Rate Map for your area and Ready.gov to prepare your home and family against flood threats. The annual premium charged for NFIP flood coverage is based on the flood risk for your property: the more at-risk your structure, the higher the premium. The average policy premium was approximately $700 in 2015, per the NFIP. "Premiums in minimal to moderate flood zones start as low as $171 per year through a preferred risk policy (PRP). This would provide $20,000 in coverage on the building and $8,000 on the contents for residential buildings that house one to four families as a primary residence without a basement or enclosure," says Cynthia DiVincenti, vice president of government programs for Aon National Flood Services in Kalispell, Mont. "In zone AE, a high-risk area, a flood policy providing maximum coverage of $250,000 on the building and $100,000 on its contents, for a primary residence, would currently be just under $1,200. This is based on a so-called '+1 elevation difference,' which is the difference between the base flood elevation and the lowest floor elevation." Kinerney adds that everyone – even when not obligated – should consider purchasing flood insurance. "It is incredibly important that homeowners and buyers understand the flood risk for their homes and businesses and what the cost of repairing and rebuilding after a flood would be," he says.

Too Thin to Buy? Question:
My lender says we have a "thin" credit file and because of that cannot be considered for many mortgage programs. Apparently we are being penalized for avoiding debt and paying cash. What is "thin credit" and how do we make it, um, fatter?
Lenders are in the business of making mortgages, but they have a dire fear of risk so before they write a check, they want to be certain borrowers are financially qualified. This is done in large measure by looking at a number of standard factors such as income, debts, assets, and credit. For most of us, credit is proven with credit reports and credit scores. However, a large number of individuals are outside the credit scoring system. According to the Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau, about 45 million people are credit invisible or credit un-scorable. By "credit invisible" the government means people who don't have a credit report and are off the credit grid. "Credit un-scorables" are individuals who have credit reports, but the data is so old or sparse that it can't be scored. Because un-scorables present so little data their credit reports are said to be "thin." There are several ways around the problem of thin credit reports. First, get a few credit cards – say from a gasoline company or a department store. Pay the balance in-full and on-time each month. Second, ask lenders about non-traditional credit options. The fact that someone lacks a full credit report does not necessarily mean they're a poor credit risk. Maybe they prefer to pay bills with cash. Maybe they don't trust banks. Maybe they believe avoiding debt is the route to sound finances. Or, imagine someone with a good job who lives with their parents – there may not be any visible rent or utility payments. Borrowers may be able to document credit

by using 12 consecutive months of canceled checks to show regular payments for such things as rent, insurance, childcare, utilities, cell phones, and cable TV. To meet the underserved market represented by those without credit standing the lending industry is increasingly open to non-traditional credit. For example, last summer Fannie Mae said when two people jointly purchase a property the "borrower with a credit score will no longer be required to contribute more than 50 percent of the qualifying income," meaning that a borrower without a credit score now can be the bigger wage earner. Nontraditional lending standards are evolving and becoming more broad-minded; so don't panic if you have a thin credit file. For additional information speak with local lenders.

Rules for Today's Buyers
Author and expert Ilyce Glink offers her top tips for smart buying Whether you're a first-time buyer or ready to trade-up, Ilyce Glink, author of "100 Questions Every First-Time Homebuyer Should Ask, 3rd Ed." (Three Rivers Press, 2014), offers these must-follow rules for buying a home in today's market:
Understand the relationship between income and house price Look beyond your income when buying a house; you also have to assess the incomes of homeowners in the neighborhood of choice, which will help determine where the housing prices in the area are going.
Learn to forecast your income As a potential homeowner, you must consider all possibilities when it comes to your income. It may rise, but it also may stay flat.
uy your house as a B home to be lived in, not an asset to be leveraged Due to economic uncertainty, your home may not enjoy any appreciation over the next five to 10 years, so make sure when you buy your home, you'll enjoy living there.

ocus on income if you F want to invest in real estate It's important to focus on how much income an investment property will generate, and not solely on price appreciation or the tax loss you'll generate from depreciation.
Rethink the concept of location Over the next few years, it may not pay to be a traditional real estate pioneer, settling in a new or regenerating neighborhood with the expectation of outsized returns at sale. Rather, pick those close-in neighborhoods that will see their return and grow more quickly.
now that all new K construction is not created equal It may not make financial sense to pay a higher price for a nearly new home rather than paying much less for an existing home that can be fixed up.
