The New Rules of Dallas Real Estate
Here's how to turn those sagging sales and excess new-home inventory to your advantage.
1. You must acknowledge that teardowns are good for Dallas. See this article, where we don't even mention the energy savings new homes can bring.
2. You must search for the Next Big Thing. Preston Hollow, Oak Lawn, M Streets, Park Cities—everyone knows they're hot for renovation and teardowns. But that also means competition is fierce. What's the next hot area? We're sworn to secrecy. But here's a hint: look up Guildhall Drive and McCree Road on Google Maps. Then drive there. Then buy there.
3. You must take advantage of overbuilt inventory. Centex and other new-home builders are stuck with a lot of houses right now. They're offering deals if you close quickly, providing free amenities or services, anything to get you to close. Buyer's market, baby.
4. You must avoid neighborhood divorce proceedings. The neighborhood stabilization overlay sounds like a great idea, as it's designed to keep developers from running amok and building huge, ugly homes in your neighborhood. In practice, as Stonewall Terrace residents found out, it can be a divisive issue in which one side tells the other you must abide by what we consider to be good taste.
5. You must hire a photographer. More than 70 percent of homebuyers begin their search on the Internet. This means if you want to make the cut, don't let your real estate agent put up dark, ugly photos of your kitchen on Ebby.com. Hire someone who understands how to light a bedroom photo properly. It's worth it.
6. You must wait for your parents to die. The big question everyone asks about the teardown trend is, How can so many people afford this many expensive new homes? One reason is the Boomer generation is passing its wealth to its children and grandchildren. So if you have your eye on doubling your square footage, perhaps you just need to be patient and let the circle of life help you finance.
7. You must blame and/or ignore the media. Stories abound about how much slower the 2006 home market was in Dallas than 2005. That ignores that 2005 was a record year. The Dallas home-sales market is still projected to grow 4 percent this year, so don't get scared just because we've slowed down from 110 miles per hour. We're still doin' 90.
8. You must explore the 2 percent option. If you feel your house is a good teardown candidate, you can have teardowns.com offer it to several developers and pay them only 2 percent of the sales price. If it's not a good teardown candidate, they'll tell you so and refer you to folks who can help you sell it to homebuyers.
9. You must stay informed. Real estate agents are no longer necessarily the best source for evaluating the current state of the market. Often they're so specialized that they only know what homes are going for in a very small geographical area. Spend time looking online at houses for sale in your neighborhood and compare them to similar homes in nearby ZIP Codes and in the suburbs. Asking prices can fluctuate thousands of dollars monthly, and you'll want to keep up with them so you don't find out too late that you're on the losing edge of the real-estate wave.

Pittsburgh Theological Seminary will offer a week-long certification course for Christian educators Oct. 25-29, 2010 entitled "Human Growth and Faith Development." Kathy Dawson, associate professor of Christian education at Columbia Theological Seminary and certified educator will lead the course.
This course will explore developmental theory from a faith perspective. Educators will be encouraged to apply these theories to the way they teach in the church to all ages. Through multimedia and a wide variety of teaching models participants will learn together the breadth of the human condition and its relationship to faith. There will be some pre-course reading and the requirement of conducting a faith interview with a child or youth.
Program cost is $245 ($270 after Oct. 4). Reasonably priced meals are available on campus. Limited housing is also available at an additional charge. Contact the Office of Continuing Education at 412-924-1345 or firstname.lastname@example.com to register.
Dawson became a certified educator in 1996 and currently serves as associate professor of Christian education at Columbia Theological Seminary. Additionally she is active in her home congregation, Oakhurst Presbyterian Church in Decatur, Ga. Her alma maters include California State University, Long Beach (B.A. with elementary teaching certificate), Presbyterian School of Christian Education (M.A.), Columbia Theological Seminary (M.Div.), and Princeton Theological Seminary (Ph.D.). Her writings include Confessing Faith: A Guide to Confirmation in the Presbyterian Church, "When Does Faith Begin?" in Children Among Us: Foundations in Children's Ministries, and she has been the co-editor of the online journal @this point (www.atthispoint.net).
Pittsburgh Theological Seminary is a graduate professional institution of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A). Founded in 1794, the Seminary is located in Pittsburgh, Pa. and approximately 320 students are enrolled yearly in the degree programs. The Seminary prepares leaders who proclaim with great joy God's message of good news in both word and deed. PTS is rooted in the Reformed history of faithfulness to Scripture and commitment to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

2815 Tasting Notes
Yesterday we made a trek to Teance in Berkeley which is definitely one of the more upscale tea places I have ever been to (with prices to match)
I decided I needed to pick up one of these little fragrant leaf shengs, it sounded so appealing from the description and the bamboo leaf wrapping could not be cuter…
I threw the first steep of this away after I realized I forgot to rinse it. The second steep here is pretty nice, I am getting the sticky rice aroma for sure, there is a slightly sweet taste with quite a bit of astringency in the finish. Slightly earthy. I steeped it for around 2 minutes basket style, I will try for less steeping next time around. It is a very young sheng but I liked it. My rating might go up when I've had the chance to do a proper gong fu tasting.
Third steep here has gotten a lot lighter with some more fruity/apple flavors…
This was the only larger pack I got with my tea from Taiwan order…
Yesterday I had a bad day of feeling sick so I wanted something light and soothing. This is lightly floral but also kind of vegetal like Mercuryhime mention below, a bit like buttered peas. There is nothing quite like a taiwanese oolong when I'm feeling frazzled and poorly, relaxing to the mind and to the body. Probably not my favorite one out of the samples I tried but still very nice…
I tried this yesterday and didn't like the way the flavors went together, then I got really sick which probably wasn't the fault of the tea but I don't think I want this anymore. Any takers?
Yeah, I know the feeling. You get poisoned and all the stuff in the fridge immediately goes straight in the dump :)
This is something else that comes from the bulk bin at my local Whole Foods – I guess I am lucky since it seems like other people don't have these different companies at their local W.F.
I am having a stomach upset so it seems like a good time for shu. I ate something really garlic-y and the tummy is not happy! This is one reason I started drinking shu pu-erh about a year ago. It does seem to help with heartburn & indigestion.
I thought this smelled a bit fishy so I did give it a quick rinse in boiling water and then steeped it for 3 minutes in a tetsubin. I am already feeling too lazy for more gong fu style tea brewings today.
This is very dark and smooth, and yes it does remind me of dirt but it is also very satisfying and relaxing. No camphor here. Lots of earthy flavors, a bit mushroomy. It also is not as gritty as some tuo chas I've had. I liked it pretty well, not doing backflips but will probably get some more of these when I run out, they are not that expensive and great for the office too.
Thank you to Teavivre for sending a sample of this my way…
I thought this was very enjoyable, perhaps my favorite of the plain greens I have tried from the company. I stepped mine at 2 minutes around 180 F and used approximately 1 tsb of leaf for 12 oz of water.
The long and slender leaf really look very green after steeping and smell sweet and vegetal.
My cup is a light olive color and has delightful sweet and chestnut notes along with some slight vegetal ones. A bit artichoke-y, a bit spicy but not bitter at all. To me it seems more robust and flavorful than the dragonwell. It seems very "nourishing" and refreshing. I'll definitely be tempted to pick some of this up when my sample runs out.
Another set in my sheng sampler fom Bana. It has taken me a while to get through these but it isn't like I'm worried about them going bad. :)
I put about 1/2 the sample in my gaiwan and did a quick rinse, then steeped for around 60 seconds with not quite boiling water.
I was a bit intimidated by this one as the description says it's a smoky tea and those do not tend to be my favorites.
First steep: it's a very light orange/yellow color. Smoke is present but is very faint. Aroma is a tiny bit sour as seems to be the case with shengs. It does seem a little woodsy and a bit savory. So far it is smooth and enjoyable.
Second steep: my brew got a little bit darker. The tea still seems savory to me but you can also taste a bit of apple-fruitiness there in the background. The aftertaste is ever so slightly astringent and seems to be slightly cleansing to the palette.
Third steep: the tea is getting a bit sweeter now and the smokiness is starting to retreat a bit. Unlike some younger shengs this one is not astringent or bitter, it's already kind of mellow in the flavor which is nice.
I want to save this note now before Steepster loses it but I will edit if I have anything else to report :)
I really enjoyed this one much better than I thought it would and it is very tempting to pick one of these up to see how it would age in a few years. Although I don't think it would make it very long before I started to drink it. Maybe I need two? ;-)
This sample comes from oOTeaOo – thanks for letting me try this!
Perhaps I should have read the description before I had this for breakfast. It is definitely a bit on the sweet side but it has nice flavors of butterscotch, vanilla and caramel, making for a slightly decadent morning. :)
I steeped mine for around 3.5 minutes at 205 F and I also added some soymilk.
This is nice for a flavored tea but definitely seems like more of a dessert tea than one I would pick up first thing in the morning. Still, I have enjoyed it. I am not really finding it too sweet but something about flavored teas often just strikes me as a bit artificial at times… not destined to be a favorite, I guess

The steep drop in oil prices may not be over yet, says the CEO of Gulf Oil.
While oil has tumbled more than $100 off its $147 a barrel high in the summertime, the price of US light, sweet crude could yet move as low as $25, and even $20 if current conditions persist, Gulf CEO Joe Petrowski said on CNBC.
"Oil's got some more downside," Petrowski said. "Whether it hits $20–could–but I think $25 is in the cards."
Several factors are critical in the move lower, particularly the pressure set against traders in the oil markets, and the control sovereign foreign governments, as opposed to private entities, have exerted on the market since the summer price shock that sent gasoline prices at the pump above $4 a gallon.
"They have a tendency to sell more on the way down, not less," Petrowski said of the governments ruling the energy trade.
In all, he thinks those who believe oil is due for a rebound aren't seeing the global economic factors that are playing into energy prices.
"There are things setting up in the oil markets that I think will give us lower prices, much lower prices, than we're all expecting," Petrowski said. "The down side is still well in gear."

Missouri officials have recalled some milk products produced by a dairy in northwest Missouri.
The state Department of Agriculture says in a release that test results received Aug. 8 showed some milk products from the Shatto Dairy in Osborn may have been unpasteurized or improperly pasteurized, which can lead to illness. The department said in a release Wednesday that it's temporarily suspended the dairy's operations while the state investigates. The recalled milk is packaged in glass bottles and may have been sold in Missouri and Kansas. The recalled products include half-gallon bottles of whole milk, quart bottles of 1 percent and skim milk, pints of 2 percent milk, half and half, cotton candy flavored whole milk and cream.

D Street Encinitas California
July 19, 2008
July 24, 2008: – – After a brief hiatus, the Blowfish Surf Series retuned to D street in Encinitas to kick off the season opener. As soon as we pulled up to the beach at 6 a.m., we knew we had made the right call, as empty 3-5 ft peaky A frames came rolling through. With competitors already showing up, we had to set up quick for a full day of debauchery and shredding.
At seven, the first heat of Juniors hit the water and the kids showed us what to expect for the rest of the day. The following divisions did not disappoint with some huge moves coming from everyone. Around mid morning the craziness on the beach really got cranking, with food fights, inflatable animal surfing, and eating contests going on everywhere. It was so fun many of the kids who lost out early hung out just to take part in the mayhem.
Around 4:50, the Girls Final hit the water in some bumpy, but super contestable conditions. They put on quite a show with some huge hacks and gouges rivaling that of the Pro-Am division. Cassidy Wehsner and Elise Peate started out the final with some big turns and huge scores but in the 20 minute final, they both needed 3 big scores and neither was able to find the right waves.
This left the door open for Lauren Sweeney, who quickly took control of the final. She walked away with first place, tons of prizes, and the number one spot in the ratings. Jenny Quam, Darlene Conolly and CJ Soto rounded out the final.
The Groms were up next and put on a show no one wanted to miss. Tommy Wehnener picked off a solid set wave early on and set the standard for the rest of the pack. Kyle Timm and Kyle Marle were quick to answer back with some big scores of their own, but it was Jake Halstead who took the win with a lined up set wave in the dying minutes of the heat. For his shredding, Jake walked away with the win, a sick electric guitar setup, and enough prizes to fill a school bus.
The Grom final must have gotten the Juniors more pumped than an early 90's Jock Jam CD, because they hit the water firing on all cylinders. Sterling Weatherley started the heat out with a bang, nailing two solid scores, including a huge reverse that was in contention for the Electric volt thrower move of the day. Dale Timm and Ian Garcia felt the pressure and quickly got some scores on the board in an attempt to catch Weatherley.
However, it was Josh Morse's ability to catch more waves than a Brazilian in a wqs, that nabbed him the best waves of the heat, the win, and a huge backpack full of prizes.
In the Pro-Am division, the competitors put on a mind blowing performance all day, but they really took it to the next level in the final. The final was a solid mix of competitive veterans and some new blood. Austin Sneed looked like a local favorite and definitely had the support on the beach, but failed to find the right waves and fell short in the Final.
Josh Buran nailed a huge frontside air reverse to take the lead early on but Matt McCabe answered back with one of the most mental airs of the event. Unfortunately he failed to ride away clean and couldn't get the score he needed. Sean Marceron used his competitive prowess to put some pressure on Buran, but Josh quickly answered back with a solid backside wave going straight up at least 6 times on one of the stranger boards anyone had seen ridden in a final.
In the last 5 minutes Drew Irons launched a giant frontside air and Marceron got a solid wave, but neither was enough to overtake Buran. Josh walked away with $500 cash for first place and $50 Electric Volt Thrower of the day

The news of Salman Khan and Anushka Sharma dancing to rapper Badshah's peppy tunes in "Sultan" has everyone talking. But the leading lady spanking the superstar is expected to be the highlight of the item number.
BollywoodLife reported it was the first time Salman had indulged in something this funny. Titled "Baby Ko Bass Pasand Hai," the special number has been choreographed by Farah Khan and boasts of some "cool" moves.
A mix of Punjabi and hip-hop, the song has dance steps that are both desi and spunky. Sources who have watched rushes of the number say some of them are inspired by the West. The chorus is said to be catchy, and plays intermittently through the song.
Meanwhile, director Ali Abbas Zafar has wrapped up shoot of the second song from the film. "Finished the second song @SultanTheMovie with lovely and super entertaining @TheFarahKhan . Heading to edit….double shift, [sic]" he tweeted.
Salman and Anushka have reportedly outdone each other in preparing themselves for their roles in the action-drama. Salman has sworn to stay off alcohol till the last day of shoot, while Anushka has trained hard with wrestling coaches for six weeks.
"Salman plays a wrestler in the film, so training for the character calls for an enormous amount of discipline. He is undergoing rigorous physical training and has been advised to not touch a drop of alcohol till the time the shoot is completely wrapped up," a source told Deccan Chronicle.
Slated for an Eid release, the film also features Amit Sadh and Randeep Hooda in key roles.

BERLIN--After an inspiring week of stimulating lectures and vivid discussions, the world congress BIOTECHNOLOGY 2000 ended on September 8. The quadrennial IUPAC conference was attended by more than 3700 life scientists from 71 countries. Through all the sessions one common theme could be identified: the availability of complete genomic data sets has propelled biotechnology research to new heights. From bioinformatics to drug design or environment protection, the continuing boom of biotech has created dozens of fascinating career opportunities for young scientists.
Xenia Boergen, a biochemist from Berlin, described the unique event as "great, exceptional." Because of the vast array of intriguing sessions, top speakers from all over the globe sometimes left the visiting scientists with the ordeal of choosing the best among equals, Boergen recalls. About 50 invited lecturers from industry and academia presented overviews on the hot topics of each of the conference's sections--from combinatorial biotech to proteomics to gene therapy.
Plenary lectures from Glenn McGall of Affymetrix Inc. or from William Rutter of Chiron Corp., for example, gave insights into the latest developments in industrial DNA chip technology research and AIDS research. Nobel laureate Manfred Eigen from Göttingen, Germany, explained the method and benefits of his newly developed correlation fluorescence spectroscopy, a new technique that allows scientists to detect and sequence single biological molecules such as prions that are thought to be responsible for Alzheimer's or Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
Such nanoscale detection and manipulation are the first steps in the new and rapidly growing field of nanobiotechnology, says Michael Apel, from the Deutsches Rheuma-Forschungszentrum. "Researching structures and functions at the nanoscale opens so far unknown potentials for molecular diagnostics, prevention of cancer metastases, or transplant design," Apel tells Next Wave.
Funding prospects continue to be bright. Since biotech research is continuing to create jobs and stimulate the economy, life scientists can rely on being supported by many generous national and European funding programs. In the last 5 years, the number of European biotech start-ups has increased from about 580 to 1350, resulting in an employment surge from 17,000 to 53,000 in the branch. The current E.U. program "Quality of Life and Management of Living Resources" (1999-2002) has a 2.4 billion euro budget. "We are about to launch our third call for proposals for RTD projects in November 2000 and will be including in that call specific attention to genome-related projects, which could receive over 100 million euro," says Rainer Gerold from the European Community's Research Directorate.
Germany alone will increase its national funding for genome research by 70% next year, to a total of 144 million DM, Germany's research minister Edelgard Bulmahn announced. Even more millions might come from the recent sale of Universal Mobile Telecommunications Systems by the German Ministry of Finance. "I have applied for a total of 200 million DM of extra money to spend on the human genome in the next few years," Bulmahn told the conference participants.
Parallel to the broad scientific program, young scientists had plenty of opportunities to boost their careers by refreshing old contacts and making new ones. More than 120 biotechnology firms turned the conference into a "gigantic job fair," says Apel. Boergen agrees. "Besides the chance get updates in some fields I was particularly interested in, meeting colleagues and making new contacts made the conference really valuable," she tells Next Wave.

Israel Won't Ease Sanctions on Visits to Jailed Palestinians
Citing security concerns, Defense Minister Ya'alon refuses to increase the number of family visits to Palestinians in Israeli prisons for now.
Yet another type of sanction has been imposed upon the Palestinians because of the recent breakdown in peace talks with Israel: Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon has decided not to allow more family visits to Palestinian prisoners because of the political situation.
In May 2013, attorney Daniel Shenhar of the Hamoked Center for the Defense of the Individual petitioned Israel's High Court of Justice on behalf of three relatives of prisoners, asking to augment the number of family visits to Palestinian prisoners.
Until March 2003, following the second intifada, family visits were completely forbidden. But even today, there are still rigid restrictions on visits by relatives to male prisoners between the ages of 16 and 35. Government officials say the reason for this policy is that in this age group, many of the prisoners have been involved in terrorist acts.
As things stand now, children of prisoners may visit twice a year, and siblings once a year. However, permits for visits are issued only after a security check, and many relatives of prisoners are not allowed to enter Israel at all.
Spouses, parents, grandparents and children under 16 or over 46 may visit at any time, but they are dependent on transportation from the Red Cross, which is only arranged about twice a month.
As a result of the Hamoked petition, government officials have realized that there is a problem with the arrangements regarding visits to prisoners, and began looking into ways to increase them. Their work was completed in late April and recommendations have been submitted to the defense minister.
In an update submitted to the High Court last week, however, officials of the State Prosecutor's Office wrote: "The defense minister has decided that considering current political and security-related circumstances, there is no room at this time to change the standing arrangements. We must review the matter again in the next few months, taking into account all the relevant circumstances. We emphasize that the political echelon has the broadest discretion on this matter."
The government's representative, attorney Avishai Kraus, added that the state is under no obligation to allow people to enter its territory, and that the current policy regarding visits strikes a balance between the needs of the prisoners and the needs involved in maintaining security.

Three teams, five referees punished in scandal
LISBON, Portugal -- In Portugal's biggest soccer scandal, FC Porto was deducted six points Friday for trying to bribe referees in two games during the 2003-04 season. The team is headed to a third straight league championship this weekend, and the punishment will not affect its title bid. The league disciplined two other first-division clubs for attempting to fix league matches. Boavista dropped to the second division and Leiria lost points. All three clubs denied the charges. Five referees also were found guilty of corruption and drew suspensions ranging from 2½ years to six years. The punishments take effect within three working days unless they are appealed. Porto also was fined $230,000 by the league's disciplinary committee. Club chairman Jorge Pinto da Costa was barred from the bench during games for two years. Porto has a 14-point lead going into Sunday's final round. Boavista was fined $278,000 after being found guilty of trying to coerce referees in three games during the 2003-04 season. Joao Loureiro, its chairman at the time, was suspended for four years and fined $39,000. Leiria was penalized three points and fined $61,700, with its chairman suspended a year. Porto won one of the two games investigated and played to a tie in the other on its way to clinching the championship under then-coach Jose Mourinho. The charges were taken from a lawsuit brought by Portugal's public prosecutor against Porto's chairman for alleged attempted bribery. No date has been set for the trial. Pinto da Costa has denied the allegations. Mourinho is not mentioned in the league charges or in the lawsuit. The disciplinary committee questioned 85 people during the investigation and compiled a case file containing almost 1,000 pages. "We feel we have made a positive contribution to soccer in Portugal," committee president Ricardo Costa said.
