Y'all I have been trying to write this post for weeks now! I keep starting over again because my posts "just aren't good enough". I am not an eloquent writer, especially when it comes to writing about my feelings or shortcomings. I can write up a craft tutorial as easily as breathing, but talking about something more personal than choosing a color of yarn has me tongue-tied.
I am a fiercely private person, so much so, that at times I find it hard even letting my husband and family in on my feelings.
The prospect of sitting down to tell all of you how much the book Only Love Today, by Rachel Stanford, has meant to me has been slightly terrifying.
But, I was so excited to be picked as a member of the launch team for Rachel's newest book, I received an advanced copy of the book Only Love Today, and immediately began devouring it piece by piece.
The layout of the book is different than most books I have read. It is written in small easy to read sections, you can get through in a 5-10 minute break. It comes as no surprise that Rachel is a mother, because we usually only have 5-10 minutes to do anything.
I jumped all over the book, literally flipping through the pages till a title reached out to me, such as "How To Be Your Own Advocate".
…."Just for a moment, imagine putting your arm around yourself as you would a friend.
Imagine offering yourself an outstretched hand as you would someone in need.
Imagine dusting yourself off as you would a child who's fallen down.
Imagine taking a moment to encourage yourself as you would a weary colleague.
….Every day you speak up for the ones you love.
Today, why not speak up for yourself?"
Rachel's words on hope, encouragement, and introspection were like a soothing balm to my heart.
"When faced with personal challenges and life issues, let us remember someone is listening, and the words we choose may be the message that someone has been waiting to hear."
"No matter what role I play, I can offer hope to others by offering compassion to myself. What message do I want my loved ones to speak to themselves? I will start speaking those messages to myself. I will speak them loud enough to create a ripple of positivity with endless possibilities."
And reading her thoughts on gratitude help me remember how much I love my crazy, busy life.
"When the needs of my loved ones begin to drain me, I will give thanks for the very important role I play in their lives. Yes, the people I care about can be exhausting and even maddening at times, but I get to love them. I get to hold them. I get to comfort them. And in return, I get to be loved by them."
I love that I don't feel rushed to complete a section of the book by a certain date, nor do I feel like a failure for jumping around the book. I feel like I'm reading the book just as it was meant for me. Only Love Today, brings back memories of reading chose your own adventure books as a child. This time, however, I am choosing how to feed my soul.
I know, for myself, this book can be life changing if you allow it to be. I am happy to say I have adapted some of the teachings into my own life. Such as;
- Being softer ~ Softening my tone with my kids helps them feel safer and allows them to tell me what is happening in their lives without worry of being reprimanded. This includes softening the volume of my voice. Yelling comes more naturally to me than speaking in a nice calm voice. It is taking time and I'm not perfect but I am continuing to get better.
- Silencing my inner bully ~ quieting years of negative harmful self talk is a big job. However I am the only one who can make that bully be quite. She still raises her ugly nasty voice from time to time, but it is much easier to tell her she is wrong.
- Embracing the differences ~ kids don't have to fit into a box. I love how unique my kids are; just because they don't always act how the school thinks they should, doesn't mean they are wrong.
I have marked many pages and will continue going back to this book for inspiration and life affirming words, each time life starts to get me down I know I will find words to lift me back up.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a little more love and understanding in their lives.
The book Only Love Today is available for pre-order till March 7th, and signed copies still available at Barns and Noble, if you pre-order there are some fun freebies.

Persistence of income shocks and consumption inequality: A case in Japan
The present study investigate the relationship between the persistence of uninsurable income shocks and consumption inequality over a household's life cycle in Japan. Using a life cycle model with incomplete asset markets and calibrated parameters for the Japanese economy, we quantitatively show that moderate persistence of shocks generate a nonlinear consumption inequality profile over the life cycle. The moderate persistence of shocks well replicates the pattern of consumption inequality in Japan.

I really enjoyed following the Miners Mural in Ironwood last year. It was a real
Inspiration to me. I moved the Chilean Miner Mural to the McCaw School of
Mines in Henderson Nevada. Plans are underway to move the Mural with Letters to
City Hall. Wanted to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.!

Chilean Miner Mural News

Two songs related to mining I would like to share with Ironwood. [email protected]
A Miners Song Video.
Elequen singer/songwriter from Canada wrote "Little White Butterfly" for the miners.
She is trying to get her song to the miners.
I found " A Miners Song" video is highly recommended. Please share this release to
raise funds for a memorial in Wales. Over 300 artists worked to make this happen.
Thanks again for listening!

Irish workers in dark as HSBC announces huge job cuts
HSBC is to shed 25,000 jobs worldwide as it retreats from countries where it is struggling to compete, Europe's biggest bank said today after it reported a surprise rise in first-half profit.
The company has so far refused to comment on how the cuts would impact on jobs in Ireland.
Shares in HSBC rose over 4 per cent after it unveiled first-half pre-tax profits of $11.5 billion, up from $11.1 billion a year ago.
The bank also said it had cut 5,000 jobs following restructuring of operations in Latin America, the United States, Europe and the Middle East and that it would cut another 25,000 between now and 2013.
"There will be further job cuts," chief executive Stuart Gulliver told reporters on a conference call. "There will be something like 25,000 roles eliminated between now and the end of 2013."
The cuts equate to roughly 10 per cent of HSBC's tot al workforce. They come on top of planned reductions in overall headcount in a program of disposals that also forms part of a plan to focus on HSBC's Asian operations.
The bank is reversing a strategy that had been criticized for "planting flags" around the world.
Mr Gulliver's far-reaching plan unveiled three months ago aims to slash costs and he intends to sell, shut or slim down retail banking in 39 countries.
HSBC said yesterday it would sell 195 US branches to First Niagara Financial for about $1 billion in cash, and close another 13 of the 470 sites it had.
The bank also intends to sell HSBC's US credit card portfolio, which has more than $30 billion in assets, a move which would free up capital. Capital One Financial Corp and Wells Fargo are among the bidders, sources have said.

During the past few weeks, there have been reports that WikiLeaks may have been compromised. Jualian Assange is allegedly still in hiding, without access to the internet – And there have been rumors of his death.
WikiLeaks' profound impact on the 2016 Presidential election has forced the group to go into hiding. But now, a secret message from the group has been revealed!
In a Bitcoin payment system account affiliated with WikiLeaks, the organization sent out a few payments which each had a secret message in them.
Can't find it? Here is the coded message:
The message reads, "We're Fine. 8 Chan Post [is] Fake."
The message is likely in response to an 8chan message board post, where an anonymous user claimed to be one of the 15 staff members at WikiLeaks and claimed the office was raided.
This is the 8Chan message, which WikiLeaks appears to be privately replying to as a fake story:
The same author also claimed WikiLeaks lost control of their official Twitter account and that the WikiLeaks Reddit discussion ("IAMA") was not conducted by WikiLeaks staff.
Still, rumors of Assange's death persist. WikiLeaks is doing everything it can trying to stop their supporters from worrying:
Thousands keep demanding Assange proof of life. Not unreasonable. He's in a tough spot and is WikiLeaks best known validator. Preference?
— WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) October 24, 2016
However, the video requested by a majority of those who took the poll (above) has never been released. That has made the situation worse.

LONDON – Ask Julian Radcliffe if he has always been an art lover, and you get a grin. Maybe it's a silly question. This is a man who has been hunting down works of art and restoring them to their rightful owners around the world for 15 years. So it's a surprise to learn that he has only recently started his own modest collection. But, as he says, you don't have to know your art to catch a thief. "I often say I'm in this not because I love art but because I hate criminals."
Radcliffe has helped recover more than $100 million worth of stolen property since he set up the London-based Art Loss Register in 1991, an inventory of stolen and missing works of art.
Art Loss Register is the world's largest database of loot. It catalogs more than 170,000 identifiable items, from Picasso and Cézanne originals, to sculptures, jewelry, silverware, furniture and even classic cars and toys. It logs stolen items and searches its database when suspect items turn up.
It helps police, Interpol and insurers tackle what is estimated to be a $5 billion-a-year racket. Its efforts make thieves, fences and shadowy dealers think hard about how to dispose of their swag.
"We don't see ourselves as making the odd recovery; we see ourselves as leading the whole campaign against stolen art," says Radcliffe, bustling about a modest first-floor office. "We recover, we provide the central checkpoint, and we deter by making it difficult to sell the stuff."
These efforts have made a big difference, says Graham Saltmarsh, a former Scotland Yard detective with experience tracking down stolen art. "It's the first port of call for everyone involved in the recovery of art," said Saltmarsh, now a consultant in art risk. "It's a great resource for the police and those of us in the private sector. We couldn't survive without them."
Art Loss Register might have altruistic motives, but it turns a profit, too. It costs about $50 (more for an exceptionally valuable work) to register a missing piece. When would-be buyers want to see if a painting is not stolen, they pay from $50 to $100 for a search of ALR's database. A "clean" item is issued a certificate. When a lost or stolen piece is restored to its owner, a commission (typically 20 percent of its value) is levied.
Radcliffe has resisted calls to put the database online.A 25-member team does searches, entering key words like the artist's name or a striking feature of the work. Any matches bring up thumbnail pictures and brief descriptions. Typing in "Picasso," for example, yields 600 hits. That's a lot of plundered cubism.
When missing items are identified, Radcliffe pounces. By notifying the seller that he cannot sell an item identified as stolen, he begins a delicate negotiation that he hopes will bring the artwork back to its owner. Radcliffe has as many as 200 "live" cases at a time.
Perhaps his most famous case climaxed last month when a London court case unveiled the whereabouts of six paintings stolen almost 30 years ago from the Stockbridge, Mass., home of Michael Bakwin. The ruling came after six years of clandestine dealings with an elusive lawyer who says the works were stowed in his attic by the thief, whom he had represented.
"It's the highest-value item we've recovered and probably the oldest theft we've dealt with," says Radcliffe. It was also the most complex, he adds.
The Bakwin case involved art worth more than $30 million, including a Cézanne painting returned early in the negotiations. An 18th-century bookcase worth more than $600,000, swiped in Ireland 16 years ago, was seized at a London art fair when an expert spotted it five years ago. Three paintings by Renoir, Cézanne and Gauguin were recently returned to a Buenos Aires museum after the ALR blocked an attempted sale. They had been snatched in 1980.
On a more prosaic level, Radcliffe says a dealer approached ALR a few weeks ago about a clock someone was trying to sell him. The ALR searched its database and, sure enough, the piece turned up as stolen.
Radcliffe swung into action, posing as a would-be purchaser so he could make a positive I.D. in person. The police swooped in and the clock was recovered.
It can be difficult to determine if one is dealing with a crook holding out for a ransom or a mostly innocent party seeking a reward. Innocent parties are entitled to get their money back and so are more likely to surrender a piece. Crooks are less apt to yield.
"You have to have a policy that you stick to and agree with the police," Radcliffe says. "Otherwise, you start paying out money and you don't get the item back. You are fueling future crime."
Radcliffe knows that ALR's tentacles only reach so far. Dozens of countries have no formal dealings with it, making detection and retrieval difficult.
So where are all the missing priceless items that Radcliffe knows are out there?
"In bank vaults," he surmises, or "sitting very innocently in someone's house, destroyed perhaps if they're too hot to keep, or just lost – buried and then the thieves can't find where they put them."

The Princess and the Captain Paperback
by Anne-Laure Bondoux
Malva is the princess of Galnicia, destined to marry the Prince of Andemark. Or so her parents think. On the eve of her wedding, she escapes at dead of night from under her parents' noses, little realising that she is letting herself in for a life of peril and adventure, including being shipwrecked in a huge storm and captured as part of a harem.
Hugely visual, the book tells of the wonder of frozen steppes and oriental palaces, of sailing ships and treasure islands.
This is a book of drama, magic and excitement, where challenges have to be overcome, friendships cemented and hearts broken.

Review by JRlibrary
This is a story of a princess destined for a marriage of convenience in order to strengthen her home country's alliance with neighbouring states. However, years of dreams and stories told by her faithful Archont feed a desire to escape and seek a new life in a mystical land known only as Elgolia so she does. A shipwreck lands Malva on unknown territory and the story truly begins.With an unlikely crew of companions whose mission it is to bring her home safely, Malva's many adventures take her beyond the boundaries of the world she knows and all are forced to face up to truths about their characters. This book is full of adventure, friendships and promises, love, hate, joy and tragedy. Warning - the ending is not as happy as I'd prefer! Decent readers only. The book is 433 pages long, and the font is fairly small.
Review by AriadneAranea
A pretty fair fantasy adventure romance kind of thing, with a few memorable bits and pieces, although it was disappointing that Malva's fiery anti-establishment instincts fizzled out so completely - for her, the personal did not, after all, become political. The invented words were very appealing, though, even if there were moments when the writing (as translated from the original French) didn't always quite work for me.

Jump Trailer (2003)
21 August 2003 Mystery, Foreign 115 mins
Jump - based on the novel of the same name, received numerous offers for the filming rights; not unusual for a novel by Sato, famous for his eerie love stories. The story is about an ordinary salary man, Junosuke, and his search for his lover, Miharu, who disappeared one night when she handed him the key to her room, and promised to be back in five minutes. She had only gone out to buy apples at the nearby convenience store, because Junosuke had it for breakfast every morning. Slightly drunk from the cocktail he had had earlier, Junosuke falls asleep, and wakes up the next morning to find that Miharu had never returned.
Watch the official Jump 2003 trailer in HD below or find more Jump videos on Vidimovie.

I'm kinda too stupid to get it working, so would someone mind trying it? ^__^ Maybe there could be a way to combine it with vashg's "GamePad to PC Controller" release? I know it will probably fail because of the video stream lag... but could be worth a try.

It was probably the sadest night of my life. who does that? I guess it was just that cool..anyways to make a long story short, I got a new one. the dark grey and I love it so much. It's like an apendage..( idont know how to spell appendage) anywhoot, amazing! i luv it. and they last forever. My tan one was real old.

text: I will hopefully be buying PE upgrades in a fortnight. I won't be getting to Gatwick until about four in the afternoon the day before our flight and Virgins desk will be closed. I figure the day before will give me the best availability for an upgrade, if the desk is closed can you purchase an upgrade at check in? Virgin advised me you can, but last time I was there they said you couldn't do this and could only purchase from the Virgin desk. Any ideas?

The Witcher 2 - Preview @ G4
View Single Post
August 29th, 2010, 17:52
I never tried the witcher before (as I disliked the overly defined protagonist and a couple of other issues I won't mention here as I would just get flamed for it) but the more I watch and read about Witcher 2 the better it sounds.
So I am eager to finally try this type of game out. It sounds like there will be a fair amount of choice and fun to the game, even if I am playing another character in the game. I have watched a lot of the footage and it looks excellent and realistic (relative to fantasy games of course).
Also nice to see a company so passionate about their game - I know a few companies who use to be like that. I hope their games continue to do well.
Hopefully not having played Witcher 1 won't be a big issue in playing the second game. Or perhaps I can try out the first version before the second comes out.
Character is centrality, the impossibility of being displaced or overset. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

If you've always dreamed about catching the Big One, but you just aren't
a morning person, then you're the type who should be playing King
Salmon: The Big Catch for the Sega Genesis. This is one of the most
realistic fishing simulations you'll ever see, from the bait to the
lures to the way the fish act. If you're feeling competitive, you'll
enjoy the Championship mode, where you'll be up against some of the best
anglers in the world as you compete to see who can land the biggest
catch. If you're the type who sees fishing as a relaxing activity, then
you'll enjoy the Leisure mode, which lets you cast a line and either
catch some fish or not, it doesn't matter! So sleep in, don't worry
about the smell, and get out on the lake whenever you feel the urge with
King Salmon: The Big Catch.

So you're sad the Kentucky Derby's over, and you're ready for the second leg of horse racing's biggest prize, the Triple Crown. Two weeks (to the day) after the Run for the Roses, the Preakness Stakes, run at Pimlico Race Course in Maryland, is actually the oldest of all the Triple Crown races, first run in 1873. But this race actually has a dark past behind its unusual name.
Unlike the Kentucky Derby and Belmont, called after a state or the race's patron, the Preakness Stakes was named for a famous runner. The original Preakness was the first horse to win a big race, the featured Dinner Party Stakes, at the newly minted Pimlico Park two days after it opened on October 25, 1870.
But Preakness was equine royalty, although he was allegedly so ugly he was dubbed a "cart horse." He was bred in Kentucky at Woodburn Farm, a historic property even in the nineteenth century. Founded by Benjamin Franklin's secretary in 1790, Woodburn, run by the Alexander family, became one of the most prominent Thoroughbred operations of the time.
One of the greatest stallions of all time, the aptly named Lexington, called Woodburn home at one time. During the Civil War, Woodburn was raided for cavalry mounts, but Lexington wasn't stolen because he was already blind, leading to his nickname of "The Blind Hero of Woodburn."
It wasn't a coincidence that Preakness was a son of Lexington, his breeder's prize possession; in fact, Lexington sired three Preakness Stakes winners! The horse received his name from his eventual owner, a Mr. Sanford, a friend of the Alexander clan whose stables were based in Preakness, New Jersey. For a horse whose name became so associated with American racing, it's surprising that Preakness wound up not in Kentucky, but England, after his track career was over.
Lexington strikes a pose for the portrait painter. Image via Horse Hints.
Impressed by Preakness as a stallion prospect, thinking he'd pass on quality genes to future offspring, the Duke of Hamilton imported him to the U.K. An 1879 issue of the illustrated publication Wallace's Monthly reported that the duke thought Preakness would be a good sire of steeplechase runners; it was done because "he was judged simply as a machine, and that without testing the machine."
But nasty-tempered Preakness didn't please his new owner, who killed him; an 1880 issue of Farmer's Magazine and Kentucky Live-stock Monthly claimed that "it was the savageness of Preakness that caused the Duke of Hamilton to have him shot" at age eight in 1875. Legend has it that the British Humane Society, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, was founded after Hamilton killed Preakness, but that's false.

These are tyres śswietne, ride on them for a long time and I just bought a second set. Their appearance is amazing. A sense of safety and security behind the wheel also obviously high!
They look brilliant tyres especially on silver alufelgach, in addition to the appearance of a very good ride on them, they have to be disappointed. Feel that their car safer cornering.
I have no questions. For that kind of money I do not think dostałbym better tyres. Its features are great, I could not surprise me when braking, cornering, or in wet conditions.
The tyre looks great on aluminum. Despite the low popularity in our country is a great tyre. Very good grip in the turns, short braking distance. For me, a revelation!
Tire recommendable. I have nothing to complain about, both on dry and wet holding decently, I did not notice that it was too loud.

In the early 1980s, Churchill suddenly became one of the contemporary British dramatists best represented on New York stages, as three of her plays were produced in succession. Cloud Nine (1978), directed by Tommy Tune, held the stage for two years and won an Obie (as did Top Girls, 1982). In England Churchill's career has been less abrupt, a long migration among the characteristic outlets of the new drama. From 1961 to 1972, she wrote radio plays. Owners (1972) was her first stage work commissioned by the Royal Court, where she became resident dramatist in 1974, and which staged Objections to Sex and Violence in 1975. The following year Churchill began working with two of the important fringe theater companies. One company was Joint Stock for which she wrote Light Shining in Buckinghamshire, (1976), Cloud Nine, and Fen (1982). The other was a feminist group named Monstrous Regiment for which she wrote Vinegar Tom (1976), and contributions to the revue Floorshow. The Lucille Lortel Theatre (New York) production of Cloud Nine in 1981 ushered in the most recent, transatlantic phase of Churchill's career. New York's Public Theater, as well as London's Royal Court, staged versions of Top Girls in 1982. Churchill writes many different kinds of plays. Examples are Ortonesque, about the grotesques of Owners, historical as in versions of the seventeenth century in Light Shining, about the English Civil War, and Vinegar Tom, about witchcraft. She also writes expressionist (the cross-sexual casting and doubling in Cloud Nine), and formally experimental (the permutations of situation in her dramatic Mobius strip, Traps). She is increasingly feminist in outlook. But, if her demonstrations of sexual liberation are sometimes pat (as in the second half of Cloud Nine), her theatrical adventurousness is always invigorating.
Sarah Kane studied at Bristol and Birmingham universities. Recognised as a highly influential new vo ice in European theatre, her work was championed by the Royal Court. She died in February 1999, aged 28.
Martin McDonagh's first play THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE was the 1996 winner of the George Devine Award, won the Writer's Guild Award for Best Fringe Play and the Evening Standard Award for Most Promising Newcomer. The play was nominated for six Tony awards, of which it won four, and the Laurence Olivier Award.

a thousand ships stuck in the sand

Lashed to the ground, an eye for an eye
Until the wind blows or it rains

One of the dilemmas of the guitarist is whether to study music theory or not. That question has an easy answer: in the world of the guitar as in any other instrument or skill, the more you learn the better you will be, and music theory can help you to improve as a guitarist regardless of the style you play.
We can discover how music works for ourselves through the instrument if we have the time and ability to do it, also with music theory for beginners books or with video tutorials on the internet.
Either way, here are a few reasons why you should know about music theory:
- It Improves communication with other musicians. Knowing a little music theory helps you to interact with other musicians, no matter what instrument they play, they are all understood with musical language regardless of style.
- Makes chord learning easier. Learning chords is one of the guitarist's priorities and although you play for a lot of time you always find new positions that you have not seen before. Chords are based on formulas and knowing them helps to understand those positions and even create your own positions.
- Learning scales improves your playing. As with the chords the knowledge of the scales implies understanding the "intervals" between the notes that form them as this defines their sound.
- Music theory will help you to improvise your solos and write your own songs. Being able to express yourself or create songs with ease with the guitar is really important and a proof of the importance of music theory.
- Music theory for beginners is never as simple as it seems, since it is like learning to speak a new language, so, give yourself time to understand it, learn the basics and that's how you can be a better guitarist and musician.

Why See Little Shop Of Horrors?
Boy meets girl, plant eats everyone!
Something is growing at the LOT this spring! Howard Ashman and Alan Menken's massive departure from their normal Disney movie scores (The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Beauty And The Beast), is a seductive, tragic and demented trip along Skid Row to a struggling flower shop where a blood-thirsty plant from another world eagerly awaits its next victim!
Relive the grisly adventures of Seymour and his killer plant, in a show that boasts now classic numbers like Skid Row (Downtown) and Feed Me (Git It). Centering on hapless florist Seymour Kleborn and the flesh eating plant which he grows in his store, Little Shop of Horrors first debuted off-Broadway in 1983, where it developed a strong cult following. Adapted into a Rick Moranis starring movie three years later, the show has cemented its reputation as one of the quirkiest musicals to ever hit the stage.

Cop finds couple in truly revolting act when checking tarp-covered car at roadside
A TRAFFIC cop discovered something truly depraved when he lifted the tarp over this motor.
He spotted the vehicle in the emergency lane and thought there must have been some sort of car trouble.
So he pulled over to investigate, got out and lifted up the tarp, and uncovered a couple having sex in the back.
Fair enough, you might say, except their young daughter was fast asleep in the front, only inches from the shameless pair.
"Unable to control themselves, they gave into their desires"Shanghaiist
The officer spotted the motor while patrolling the Shanghai-Chengdu Expressway near the Chinese city of Chongqing.
The couple said they had been taking advantage of the toll-free roads implemented for China's national day.
But en-route to visit a nearby mountain for some rest and relaxation, their daughter kept trying to sleep.
So they pulled over and covered the car with the tarp, and the three of them tried to catch some shuteye.
At least they were supposed to, but the frisky couple got down to business as soon as their daughter was asleep.
Shanghaiist, an English-language news site based in China, reported: "Things started getting steamy between the married couple.
"Unable to control themselves, they gave into their desires, not considering that someone might discover them."
The cop reportedly let the pair off with a lecture about proper use of the emergency lane.

City Assessing Department is responsible for the inventory of all property within the City and for valuation and maintaining property record information of all property both real property (land and buildings) and personal (tangible). It operates under the requirements of the General Property Tax Law which was originally P.A. 206 of 1893; Statutes can be found under MCL 211.1 through MCL 211.157.

- Enhance and increase understanding of and compliance with property tax system as established by City charter and State law.
What is Assessed Value?
Assessed Value shall not exceed 50% of the True Cash Value (aka Market Value) of the property. Mass appraisal techniques are used to determine the true cash value of each property every year and set the Assessed Value at 50% of the True Cash Value. True Cash Value of a property which is synonymous with market value.
The final SEV established for property, dependent upon property class, is a compilation and reconciliation of the Cost Approach, Sales Comparison, and Income Approach to value. A cost to construct is estimated for the property, which is then reconciled to market, by application of the ECF (Economic Condition Factor). Income producing type properties, i.e. Commercial/Industrial, go a step further and correlated through the Income Approach.
What is State Equalized Value?
State Equalized Value (SEV) is final Assessed Value after the County and State completed their equalization processes and certified Assessed and Taxable Values. Typically, the SEV is the same as the Assessed Value.
What is Capped Value?
Capped Value is a calculation of the previous year's Taxable Value multiplied by the Inflation Rate Multiplier and adjusted for any physical changes in the property. The inflation rate multiplier is based on a two year average of Consumer Price Index CPI, the Inflation Rate Multiplier for 2015 is 1.016, same as previous year.
What is Taxable Value?
Taxable Value is determined by the lower of the Assessed Value or the Capped Value. Properties that transferred ownership in 2017 will have the Taxable Value set to Assessed Value for the 2018 tax year. Taxable Value is the basis of the property tax in Michigan and is multiplied by the millage rate to determine the tax amount each year.

Michigan Taxes - Property Taxes
Michigan's 2014 average non-homestead property tax rate was 49.92 mills, or $49.92 per $1,000 of assessed property, with real and personal property subject to taxation at 50% of current market value.
In an ongoing effort to make the state a more attractive place for businesses to invest and grow, Michigan began phasing out its Personal Property Taxes for most businesses beginning in 2013. Businesses claiming the personal property tax exemption will instead be subject to a statewide special assessment, ranging from 0.9 to 2.4 mills, to fund essential services levied by local governments. Additional property tax abatements available to Michigan businesses include:
- locally-negotiated abatements, including 100% new personal property exemptions available in specified communities for qualified commercial businesses. PA 328 Fact Sheet
- 50% abatements for up to 12 years on real property for industrial processors and "high tech" companies. PA 198 Fact Sheet
- abatements up to 100% for rehabilitation projects. PA 198 Fact Sheet
Neighborhood Enterprise Zones
Public Act 147 of 1992, as amended and authorized by the State of Michigan, allows specific local governments to enact Neighborhood Enterprise Zones (NEZs). The City of Lansing has approved the designation of NEZ areas within the City as Neighborhood Enterprise Zones (NEZs). The purpose of establishing NEZs in Lansing is to promote home ownership and investment in areas where the greatest impact would occur and where such improvements may trigger additional investment in adjacent neighborhoods. The benefit of the NEZ Program to property owners in these areas results in lower property taxes.
Renaissance Zones
Renaissance Zones were created by the State of Michigan under Public Act 376 of 1996 in order to stimulate economic growth in certain urban communities. The Renaissance Zone designation exempts properties within its boundaries from all operating millage for nine years. In years ten through twelve, a quarter of the operating millage is added back so by year thirteen the properties will be back paying full property taxes. This reduction in taxes is designed to assist developers and home buyers in an area by making it more affordable to improve their properties.

Mackey Award Watch List: Ranking the Top 10 CandidatesJuly 10, 2012
Mackey Award Watch List: Ranking the Top 10 Candidates
With the 2012 college football season less than two months away from kicking off, the watch lists for every award are slowly being released. The most recent list to be released is for the John Mackey Award, which is given to the best tight end in college football.
The award was first handed out in 2000, and is in honor of former Syracuse and NFL Hall of Famer, John Mackey.
With many great players on the list, it will be interesting to see who actually steps up this season and walks away with the hardware.
Here are the top 10 candidates for the 2012 John Mackey Award.
10. Brandon Ford, Clemson
You have to like the position that Clemson tight end Brandon Ford is in. He plays for an explosive offense that has many weapons, which will give him favorable matchups. He has great size at 6'4" and 220 pounds, but also has the speed of a wide receiver.
Ford finished last season with 14 receptions for 166 yards and two touchdowns as a backup to Dwayne Allen. Now that he is no longer around, Ford's playing time will increase, along with his offensive production.
9. Jake Stoneburner, Ohio State
Jake Stoneburner is an interesting case because he has all of the talent to win this award; he is also in the right situation under head coach Urban Meyer. But he recently had his scholarship taken away after being arrested. Will be back on the field when the season starts, or will he miss significant time that costs him a chance at this award all together?
Stoneburner has 37 career receptions for 445 yards and nine touchdowns, and was going to be a bigger part of this Ohio State offense in 2012.
8. Chris Gragg, Arkansas
Chris Gragg really stepped up his junior season, racking up 41 receptions for 518 yards and two touchdowns. In his first two seasons combined, Gragg totaled just nine catches for 196 yards and two touchdowns. Now with Arkansas looking for receivers to step up, the senior tight end will be a reliable option for Tyler Wilson and this Razorback offense.
7. Joseph Fauria, UCLA
Joseph Fauria finished second on the team with 39 receptions and 481 receiving yards last season. His six receiving touchdowns were the most by a Bruin since 2005. He will have an expanded role in 2012, and with his great size at 6'8" 252 pounds, he will give UCLA quarterbacks an easy target to throw the ball to.
6. Levine Toilolo, Stanford
Stanford may have lost Andrew Luck at quarterback, but they have a nice 1-2 punch combination at tight end. Levine Toilolo will likely get the most looks due to his ridiculous size at 6'8", 268 pounds. Toilolo caught 25 passes for 343 yards and six touchdowns last season. Look for those numbers to improve with another year under his belt, especially with Coby Fleener now playing in the NFL.
5. Jacob Pedersen, Wisconsin
Jacob Pedersen was a Mackey Award semifinalist last season, finishing the year with 30 receptions for 356 yards and eight touchdowns. Pedersen is the complete package at the tight end position, as he can block just as effectively as he can go down the field and help put points on the board.
More will be expected from Pedersen, as the Badgers lost many key contributors on the offensive side of the ball.
4. Gavin Escobar, San Diego State
Gavin Escobar is a mismatch for any defense trying to cover him. He is strong like a tight end, but runs like a wide receiver and is 6'6", 245 pounds. It is difficult for any team trying to cover him, which is why he finished his sophomore season with 51 receptions for 780 yards and seven touchdowns.
He will have to step up even more now that the Aztecs lost a few key offensive players, but that should not be an issue for this guy.
3. Philip Lutzenkirchen, Auburn
Philip Lutzenkirchen may not have the impressive numbers that some of these other players have, but he is as sure-handed as any of them. He has only caught 44 passes throughout his three-year career at Auburn, but 14 of those receptions have gone for touchdowns.
He will enter the 2012 season as the No. 1 target for the Tigers' starting quarterback and should end up having his most successful season yet.
2. Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Washington
Austin Seferian-Jenkins is a two-sport athlete at Washington, but has an extremely bright future on the gridiron. As a freshman last season, Jenkins hauled in 41 passes for 538 yards and six touchdowns. He is a massive target at 6'6" 258 pounds, and should have a more productive season in 2012.
His 538 receiving yards is good for second all-time in Washington history for a true freshman.
1. Tyler Eifert, Notre Dame
Tyler Eifert was a Mackey Award finalist last season, but didn't win the award, although he did end up breaking the Notre Dame single-season records for receptions and receiving yards for a tight end. Eifert finished the year with 63 receptions for 803 yards and seven touchdowns.
This season, the Notre Dame coaching staff will look to move the senior around a bit more and try to maximize his potential. Expect an even bigger season from Eifert, especially with wide receiver Malcolm Floyd no longer around.
