"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"!
George Albee's (1990) Prevention Mantra
"No mass disease or disorder afflicting humankind has ever been eliminated by attempts at treating individuals. . . Primary prevention is an approach to reducing the future incidence of a condition through proactive efforts aimed at groups, or even a whole society."
Albee's equation
Incidence =
Risk factors
Protective factors =
Organic causes + Exploitation + Stress
Coping skills + Self-esteem + Support
Universal – population-wide
Selective – high-risk approach
Indicated – early detection and intervention (not true prevention)
Treatment – problem is well establishedPREVENTION Types of promotion and prevention – Strategies for prevention

Programs that are better designed and utilized
"… They (the residents) feel a little more for the project, than people who are just working there … It's probably moved a lot faster … The home visitors wouldn't have anywhere to go if parents weren't involved … The project would have flopped because the parents wouldn't have anything to do with it."
Building a sense of community

Wanted to share my awesome experience with the guys at The Sports Loft. After researching a number of folks in the SLC area I decided based on customer reviews to put my skiing experience in their hands. I had skied in pain for the prior 8 years in boots that were ""fitted"" by a ski shop in St. Charles, IL. Jeremy spent several hours with me on the day of my arrival and explained what had been causing my pain and some options for solving my problem. He was able to help me understand in plain language and explained how different options might solve my unique needs. He was able after a short time to describe what I had been experiencing for years...like he had been wearing the boots. It was clear he really understood my issues from his examination of my foot and discussion of my current equipment. He gave me two options one I couldn't justify expense and another that fit my budget- not cheap but worth every dollar. After skiing in the new boots for 10 min and then after 7 days of morning to last lift they were awesome I was in complete control of my skis and with zero discomfort. I skied my best ever and although I'm over 50 I kept up with my mid 20's son and was ready for more at the end of the day. I share that I wasn't fitted to what they had in stock... But rather I was diagnosed and treated with the best equipment I could imagine. I really believe they would rather I left without buying anything if they couldn't fit me with the right equipment. As it took several hours including a couple after the normal closing time I got to see them working with other customers and could see that everyone gets the same level of attention to detail. This is not inexpensive but is worth every dollar. I wish i had done this with my first pair of boots years ago.. I'd be a better skier I'm sure. Jeremy and Earl have a customer for life and I'll never buy major equipment anywhere else. It's worth it to fly to SLC if you have never been fit correctly before as it made my ski experience so much more enjoyable and actually improved my skiing to the point my family noticed in a day. Thanks guys...I didn't need to stop in for any tuning as everything worked great.

I've used a couple of other boot fitters/retailers around Alta, Park City, and Salt Lake City. The Sports Loft team is unquestionably a cut above all of them both in terms of technical expertise and customer service. Earl and his son Jeremy believe in creating customer relationships for the long term and this principle shows in all aspects of their business. My boots are the most comfortable I have ever had and they are perfect on the slopes. The custom foot bed was the best investment I have ever made for improving my skiing technique. Outstanding in every way!

Cheesy, creamy and CRUNCHY Potato Casserole! Check out that crunch guys…and the cheese! And did I mention you can MAKE THIS AHEAD! Super perfect holiday recipe!
Full disclosure, I used frozen hash brown potatoes. I know! Hard to believe it myself, being such a scratch kinda cook, but what a pleasant little surprise they were. And what a time saver! (I did made my own sauce though, no cans of cream of ka ka in this beauty, so that makes it kinda okay and kinda healthy right?)
The creamy sauce is simply milk + flour and poured right over the potatoes in the same skillet. Bubbles right up, add some cheese and sour cream, pour into pretty casserole. Top with cornflake and butter mixture and you are the queen of casseroles!
This will be the casserole that everyone asks you to bring over and over again, and you won't mind because it is so simple to make and just so pretty!
You could change this up a hundred different ways:
- Add one and half cups sliced mushrooms
- Add one chopped Poblano or Anaheim pepper
- Change up the cheese to include some feta and/or parmesan for even more cheesy punch
- Add herbs to the cornflakes
Thats just a few, I'm sure you could come up with something to make this casserole your own…or just stick with it the way it is…you will get no complaints!
And while you are at it, you can make up a quadruple batch of my Make Ahead Mushroom Gravy!
Cheesy Potato Casserole
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1 ounce bag frozenSouthern Style hash brown potatoes 32
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 2/3 cup milk not non fat - I used 2% but 1% will work
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2/3 cup light sour cream 2% plain greek yogurt will work as well
- 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 3 cups corn flakes
- 1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (omit if making ahead).
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oi, onion and bell pepper. Saute 5 minutes. Add frozen potatoes, cover, reduce heat to medium and cook about 10 minutes or until potatoes start to brown. Stir in Salt and black pepper.
Combine milk and flour with a whisk. Add to potato mixture in pan and cook for about 3 minutes until sauce is thick and bubbling.
Remove pan from heat. Stir in sour cream and cheese. Spoon mixture into a 11 x 7 casserole dish.
In medium bowl, combine corn flakes and butter. Sprinkle on top of casserole.
Bake for 35 minutes or until bubbly around edges and topping is crisp.
(If making ahead: Refridgerate potato mixture for up to 2 days. Add topping before baking)

Everyone expected Bisola to be sad after her 'lover' TTT was evicted from the Big Brother Naija house, but no one knew she was going to turn into a 'cry cry' baby for him.
ThinTallTony's eviction form the Big Brother Naija house was met with surprise by many Nigerians but many were shocked to see Bisola cry uncontrollably for hours as a result of his leaving the show. She even went on to reveal to Efe that she misses "him and his light skin."

Exp-run by: antoine
Approved by: mm (maintainer)
Most commonly used build systems support silent builds, when they
hide actual commands executed and only show short summary line (like
"CC foo.c"). CMake and ninja enable this by default, some autotools
using ports do as well. This is unacceptable because we need complete
build logs at any time, so we now switch to verbose build logs
unconditionally. Note that this change deliberately affects ALL
builds and not only package builds on cluster, because we need to
be sure that user experiencing failure can always provide informative
build log regardless of settings and without rerunning the build.
Change summary:
- Always do verbose builds for cmake, ninja and GNU configure (the
latter includes check if --disable-silent-rules is actually supported
by the configure script; there are isolated cases when it's not true)

Belarus will export a total of 130,000t of cement to Moscow this year, Prime Minister Syarhey Sidorski told reporters in Minsk on Friday.
According to him, 90,000t has already been supplied.
The premier noted that Belarus' cement works would undergo serious modernisation in 2007, which would increase their annual output capacity by 500,000t.
He said that apart from high-quality cement, Belarus supplies Moscow with crushed granite aggregate for road construction.
On June 6, the Belarusian government established uniform price for retail sales of cement in the country in a move to stem the resale of cement for profiteering purposes, which was viewed as the main factor behind the acute shortage of cement throughout the country.
Construction Minister Alyaksandr Selyaznyow said earlier that cement manufacturers would increase their output from 3.3Mt to 3.7Mt in 2007. "This would be enough to meet the domestic demand and to sell about 400,000t abroad," he said, noting that following their modernization, the Belarusian cement works will annually manufacture more than 6Mt by 2010, twice as much as in 2005.
Although cement supplies to the consumers' market have doubled this year, this has not made up for the shortage, the minister told the National Assembly in late May. According to him, an analysis made together with the police and prosecutors revealed that major buyers of cement were people who purchased it for resale. Published under Cement News

England's Melissa Reid led from start to finish to secure her fifth Ladies European Tour title at the Turkish Airlines Ladies Open – the first tournament on any major golf tour to finish on a Wednesday.
The 27-year-old fired rounds of 65, 69, 74 and 73 at Carya Golf Club in Belek, Antalya, for a total of 11 under par and a four stroke win over Frenchwoman Gwladys Nocera.
One stroke clear going into the final round, Reid birdied the first hole and she quickly gained a four stroke advantage after her closest challenger Pamela Pretswell dropped four shots in her first five holes. Reid bogeyed the sixth and Nocera moved within two of the lead after 11 holes, but she then dropped two strokes at 15 and 18 as Reid came home with 12 steady pars.
Reid teed up on the Carya course without a practice round and dominated the tournament from the first round with a career best eight under par.
"When you win you want to win properly and to lead every single day has been nice. I've not been in that position before, so to win in that way does make it extra special," said Reid, collecting the trophy for the second time after her 2010 victory at nearby National Golf Club.
Reid's last victory came at the Prague Golf Masters in 2012, which she won a month after the tragic loss of her mother, Joy, and her success in Turkey completed a difficult emotional journey for the popular and talented player.
After a tough period on the course and personally, she now feels that her game is better than ever and said: "I've got a fantastic team around me which I can't give enough credit to and I've been working with Kevin Craggs. He's been amazing and a massive influence not just on my career but on my life. It's been a difficult journey and it's not one I want to go through again but it makes the win even sweeter and I've stepped it up a bit and it's just the beginning really."
This puts Reid's career right back on track and she is now on the verge of a second Solheim Cup appearance.
Nocera is another player who is determined to make the European team. She almost pulled out of the tournament with an ankle injury sustained during a photoshoot a month ago, but played through pain and in heavy strapping as she finished solo second on seven under par.
"If you would have told me I could finish second before the week I would have signed for it. This shows me what I have and even when I'm not 100 per cent I can still play well, so I think that's another thing I've learned and it was great. I've hit the ball really well, not as long off the tee, but I managed to stay on the dance floor, so that was the main thing," said Nocera, who will turn 40 on Friday.
Dame Laura Davies, Kylie Walker and Sally Watson tied for third place on six under par, while Pretswell slipped into sixth place after a final round of 78.
Watson said: "I am pleased. I was three shots back at the start of the day and with the wind and tough conditions it was tough to put a low score together to catch Melissa. I can't complain with a third place finish: highest of the year so far."
Davies said: "It's been a great week to be honest with you, I've really enjoyed the concept. I love the golf course. I just wish we played it here every year because it's a great course for the girls and gives us a chance to play some really good golf and make lots of birdies. Mel made more than most of us, but overall I'm really pleased. I had one bad day with the putter and it really cost me dearly, but I'm happy with the way I'm hitting it."
The first golf tournament on any major golf tour to finish on a Wednesday was hailed as a great success by fans, sponsors and media around the globe who supported the LET's #LETwednesday campaign. The move was designed to attract wider television audiences by moving women's professional golf into a new space within world sport.

A pilot from North Yorkshire who has been in an African jail for months is hoping he will be released soon.
Before his arrest David Simpson, whose family comes from Gillamoor in Ryedale, had been earning a living working for a swedish-owned safari company - the Central African Wilflide Adventures - as a pilot.
Earlier this year he stumbled upon a massacre, which observers say looks like the work of the rebel Lord Resistance Army Resistance Army.
However when Mr Simpson reported it to the authorities it was he who ended up in jail accused of the mass murders.
Last week he was temporarily free after rioters broke into the prison in the Central African Republic.
He is reported to have had to flee for his life as he thought he might be lynched by the mob because he is a white man.
But his freedom was short lived as he was later picked up at his Swedish employer's house and thrown back into prison where he was told his fate would be known in a matter of days.
Reports state that Mr Simpson is having to live in a cell where rats swarm about at night which he fends off with a wooden bat.
He is said to be fearful of eating any food provided to him by the authorities because of the problems associated with malaria.
Mr Simpson and other employees came across the massacre while clearing a path for vehicles through the jungle.
"It was a terrible and disturbing sight," he is reported to have said.
Reports suggest that he may have been falsely accused of the murders because of a struggle between families of the dead men wanting compensation and corrupt officials seeing him as a scapegoat.
It is understood that the family of the Swedish boss has been told that those who have been imprisoned could be set free if a sum of £800,000 was paid.
Mr Simpson, 24, how is a former pupil of Lady Lumley's School, has now been detained for more than four months. He is said to have told contacts he just wants to get home to his family's pheasant farm on the North York Moors and hug his family.

'American Idol' Recap: Audition #3
S10E3: Here we go again, another audition episode and things are really hitting their crazy, ridiculous stride in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Steven Tyler is really getting comfortable and loosening up with his fellow judges. Oh, you thought he was loose before, did you? Well, he's really let himself go now. His facial reactions and emphatic gestures are loud enough on their own but he still opens his mouth and says something crazy almost every time. While I want to hate him I can't help but enjoy the insanity – even if it does mean shamelessly plugging his own music and forcing Randy to attempt to sing "Sweet Emotion."
"Well hellfire, save matches, fuck a duck and see what hatches." –Steven
The first batch of Idol hopefuls was a bit of a mixed bag delivering us a down-home, old-fashioned country singer, an aspiring radio D.J. who should probably stick to talking, and a 15 year old who cried her way to Hollywood.
First up is Scott McCreery, the 16 year old baseball-loving kid who somehow has the country-singing voice of a much older man. He sang two country songs for the judges with a rich, deep, twangy voice and earned himself a golden ticket – even though this is generally a pop music competition, not a country music jamboree. Still, the kid's got talent, and his singing made Steven utter that bit about fucking a duck, so you know he's good.
From the good, to the bad and the downright ugly we go. Joe Repka trekked from his college in Toledo, Oh. to bond with Ryan Seacrest over their mutual love of talking on the radio and then there's that pesky audition process too. Before Joe jumped into his painful rendition of "For The Longest Time," Joe's granny admitted to Ryan that she's tone-deaf. I guess it runs in the family because the kid could not carry a tune and he's apparently hard of hearing too, because while the judges were telling him what's up, he kept singing. Really? Go home, dude.
Before this batch had run its course, we found ourselves listening to the stylings of 15 year old Emma Henry who sang a sweet, raspy version of "True Colors." She was alright, but as Randy pointed out, she'd get swallowed up in Hollywood. I don't know how accurate his claim is that Idol is the greatest "talent competition in the world" though, especially after the girl cried so hard they gave her a ticket anyway. Simon would not approve.
"What was terrible?" –Rejected Contestant
"Pitch, tone, sound…everything about singing." – Randy
It wouldn't be an audition episode without a montage of crazies and there were plenty to go around this time. First we had the terrifying woman in a floor length black coat which was open enough to reveal hot pants, a bandeau top, and knee-high black boots; no, she couldn't sing. Then we had the confrontational guy, the guy who massacred "Bad Romance" and then thought it would be cute to ask Randy for a sip of coke (not cool, dawg), the guy who did a back flip into a cameraman, and of course the crazy dude in a silver, shiny outfit and a giant toothbrush. Come on. That's not even funny. NEXT.
"All of the isms jumpin' off." – Randy
"None of the wasms." -Steven
Alright, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say this next girl will probably come close to winning this entire competition because, to put it bluntly, she rocks. I was a little put off when her little pre-audition vignette got a tad melodramatic – Naima Adedapo is a great singer but cleans toilets at a concert venue instead of performing – but once she started singing "For All We Know" my apprehension was gone. She's got a strong voice and sounds like an actual singer that should get paid to sing.
Next, in the wave of goodies is Jerome Bell, the babely bar mitzvah singer who sang "Let's Get It On" and went straight to Hollywood with no ifs, ands, or buts. Then, the auditions got into a wave of 15 year olds, which of course led Ryan to explain that Idol changed the age to 15 so that they could potentially find the next Justin Bieber – really? That kid can barely sing a song with more than 6 different words in it (and I accept that I may now receive Twitter death threats from his fans). Thia Megia started off the streak with a bluesy, strong, mature performance of "Chasing Pavements" as a montage of other 15 year old golden ticket winners gained musical accompaniment from Taylor Swift's "Fifteen." How original.
"I actually think he's going to point the gun at me. I think he's going to shoot me." – Ryan
Okay, things didn't get suddenly serious on this episode of Idol, but they did take a nose dive for a bit. Is anyone else bothered by the fact that these contestants are coming in waves of bad and good? Remember when we could play the guessing game about who'd be great and who would suck, and sometimes we'd be completely wrong? Where is that game? I want it back, American Idol.
First up is a man who has to be doing this to get on television, Nathaniel Jones the Civil War reenactor. Nevermind the part about how his dad can't be a hippee because "hippees believe in sex," the dude went on TV and pretended he couldn't tell present day from the 1860s and then sang "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" in a ridiculous falcetto voice (though, he was actually in tune). This guy knew he'd get on TV, so he went crazy. Case closed, moving on.
Quickly, because it was just sad, another dude, Mason Wilkinson, was so bad he had to be faking. He had to turn around for 15 seconds to compose himself before he could sing the worst thing I've heard in a while. Steven said he "didn't know people were like that," and it's because they're not. Dude was faking. Next.
"I'm in love with this president. Not in a Monica Lewinski, Bill Clinton, intern sort of way." –Contestant
Mary DeWolf Swenson, whose name sounds made up and is good at everything so she can withstand me making fun of her name for two seconds, is a Harvard grad, White House Intern and now one of the contestants going to Hollywood. She sang beautifully, she's tall, blonde, pretty, smart. Boom, White House Barbie goes to Hollywood.
Next is Tiwan Strong, who despite his ridiculous all-white linen getup, sang beautifully and like the contestant from last week, had a John Legend-esque quality to his voice and according to Steven "a sparkle in his eyes." Now you're hitting on dudes, Steven?
Then came the friend-less singing certified public accountant who sings for fun at weddings and FUNERALS. Talk about depressing; this guy wasn't crying but his story was not pretty. I'm on the fence about his actual vocals because his voice is a little creepy even if he is technically a good singer. Once again, I agree with Steven who said he was "disturbingly great." I cannot hate Steven no matter how much I try. Damnit.
"I wanna fucking punch those people in the fucking face." –Rejected contestant
Before we get to the last three happy faces of the night, I'm going to round up the rest of the baddies, starting with the most explosive of them all, Vernika Patterson. First of all, I want to take credit for calling this one. A contestant sang Minnie Ripperton's "Loving You" and like I said before, was delusional enough to think she could sing it. The sad thing is that her vocals weren't even the ridiculous part. When the judges told her no, she indignantly insisted that she's better than half the singers out there (yes, because half of them were selected because they are so bad; where have you been for the last 10 years?) and then accused the judges of eliminating her for not being "skinny like half of these females" before storming out of the audition. No, sweetie. They said no because you suck, not because you have the wrong body type.
This of course leads into a montage of rejected people crying and yelling and screaming and cursing as camera men try to follow them after they've had their dreams crushed. I thought this bit was a little fucked up; sort of like the producers just sitting around laughing at the misery their audition process has created. But then again, did I turn it off? Nope. I watched every last second. Mission accomplished, Fox.
Two more bad auditions to go. Second to last was Albert Rogers the 3rd…yeah okay. He claimed to be a cross between Usher and Luther Vandross but sounded more like a tone-deaf toddler in the bath. Sorry dawg, you're not going to Hollywood.
Last but not least, Fox found their golden promotional ticket in Green Bay Packers super-fan, Megan Frasier. She gave them an opportunity to mention the Super Bowl on Fox and fulfilled the necessary element of any stop in Wisconsin: a visit with a cheesehead. (That's what they're called, I'm not that mean.) She also sang "Baby" in an operatic voice. This is where I throw my hands up. It's auditions like this that make me feel played.
"You look like one of my…nope. Not gonna say it." –Steven
Finally, we've got the last three good ones, and they're good. First up is Scott Dangerfield a student teacher with an awesome name. He's wiry and geeky, but packs a punch, belting out tunes with a strong, bluesy voice. I'm looking forward to hearing more from him in Hollywood.
Then we have the Steven Tyler superfan, Allyson Jados. She's the one who looks like one of Steven's – well, he's not going to say it – but I will. GROUPIES. She's a pretty good singer, even if the only words she knows from "Dream On" are "dream" and "on." Steven sang with her, gave her a hug and thanks to Randy's "no" gave the deciding vote to send her to Hollywood. How many other people can say they got that kind of treatment from their Idol? Not many.
"What kind of a guy would I be if I left her when she needed me the most?" –Contestant
In true Idol fashion, they saved the most emotional contestant for last. Chris Medina is a Starbucks barista and a SAINT. His fiancé, who was also a barista when they got engaged, suffered a horrible accident that left her permanently disabled and with brain damage, yet he stays by her side day in and day out. After his audition, the judges wanted to meet his fiancé and while it was touching, it was a bit odd because they weren't quite sure how to act around her. Even so, the story is truly sad and I'm sure there will be lots more about the saintly Mr. Medina in the weeks to come.
Whew. Didn't think you'd make it to the end did you? These episodes are long for sure, but just think; the more audition episodes we work through, the closer we get to Hollywood week and the closer we'll be to the actual competition which is kind of exciting, right?

"Welcome Aboard"
Out of This World was the 16th episode of Season 5 of the The Brady Bunch TV series, also the 111th overall episode in the series. Written by Larry Rhine and Al Schwartz, the episode, which was directed by Peter Baldwin, originally aired on ABC-TV on January 18, 1974.
Former astronaut James McDivitt, the man who saw a UFO in space, guest stars.
Bobby and Peter camp out in the backyard looking for UFO's. After they meet General McDivitt, the boys are convinced that they have spotted one and go back the next night with cameras to prove it.
After seeing retired astronaut Brigadier General Jim McDivitt speak about a UFO he saw while on a space mission, Peter and Bobby have UFO on the brain. That night, they believe they see a UFO in the sky. Without other witnesses, others are either uncertain or are skeptical as to Peter and Bobby's assertion. Peter and Bobby feel they need proof, and want to sleep outside in the back yard and take photographs if and when the UFO shows up again. Lo and behold, what Peter and Bobby saw the previous night comes back and they are able to take photographs of it. After the photographs are developed, Mike and Carol are still uncertain about what is on the photos, so Mike decides to call in the air force for their expert opinion. The visit of the air force's investigating Captain McCartney, who doesn't believe in UFOs, indirectly makes Peter and Bobby's UFO appear again, but it with a more down to earth explanation.

Landscaping With Ground Covers
Posted by Tammy Sons on 2nd Feb 2016
Sunday, February 20
Ground covers are perfect in landscaping around sidewalks,patios or anywhere there's not alot of sun and the ground needs something to landscape with that doesnt get very large.Periwinkle Ground Covers are the #1 seller at our plant nursery.Its an evergreen vine and blooms delicate lavander blooms upto 2 months in the spring and summer.Its foliage is evergreen and stays nice and dark year round.Vinca Minor is the latin name for the dwarf periwinkle ground cover vining plants.
Hedra Helix is another garden favorite.It too stays green year round,being in the evergreen vining ground cover family.its leaves are larger than the periwinkle but has larger roots and also an excellent ground cover for soil erosion ,to be planting on steep hillsides where you cant get to with weedeaters and lawnmowers.Its also a fast grower and multiplies fast.Its also called the English Ivy.It has a varigated vein running through the center of it's leaves .Giving it a very distinctive look.
Lastly,the third choice of garden plant ground covers is the Ajuga Vines.They are hardy and do well in sun or shade and perfer to be left alone.Little or no maintence with these vines as with the former two.Just plant them and watch them take off.

Living in Southern California, I don't have that many opportunities to run in snow. The snow I found up in the mountains of Utah during Christmas break put my New Balance Minimus Trail shoes to the test. I was a little wary at first, being careful of every stride up and down the trail, but soon I realized these shoes gave me so much traction. I've never felt so sure footed. Kind of makes me want to find more snow to run in. Kind of–I'll always be a CA girl through and through (which allows me to be a fair weather runner).
Note: If you are considering transitioning to any New Balance Minimus shoe from a shoe with a higher heel, you need to exercise caution during the transition period to avoid injury.
**disclosure – New Balance sent me with a pair of Minimus Trail Shoes to review. Since I've loved the NB Minimus Road Shoes I purchased back in May, I was more than happy to do so. I was not compensated in any way and receive no financial benefit from sharing this product with you. I just love them and was totally amazed how they performed under snowy conditions while my brother-in-law was slip-sliding all over the place in his running shoes.

Andrew Breitbart Dead
March 1, 2012 by staff
Andrew Breitbart Dead, Conservative activist Andrew Breitbart, an influential voice in U.S. Republican politics known for his attacks on liberals and Democrats, died unexpectedly of natural causes in Los Angeles early on Thursday, his family said. He was 43.
Breitbart was walking last night near his Los Angeles home when he collapsed, said his father-in-law, actor Orson Bean.
"He collapsed on the sidewalk and the paramedics were there very quickly and they couldn't revive him," Bean told Reuters in a phone interview.
A friend of Breitbart told Reuters he had a history of heart problems and is believed to have suffered a heart attack.
The brash and outspoken blogger and commentator, who published politically inspired photos and undercover videos, was the center of several major news websites, including www.Breitbart.tv, www.breitbart.com and www.biggovernment.com.
Breitbart was a lightning rod who relished a role he cast for himself as an embattled conservative on the margins of the mainstream media he called "the Complex." Even so, he gained fans as a frequent guest on television news shows.

all about antiques design & fairs since 1998
News & Fairs Previews
Renowned antiques dealers W.R. Harvey & Co. (Antiques) Ltd, will be hosting a celebratory exhibition from 5 November until 20 November 2016, highlighting a sex and fraud scandal that sent two brothers to the gallows in C18th London.
W.R. Harvey & Co., who are about to celebrate their 65th year in business, will be featuring 'Mrs Rudd's Dressing Table', as the centre of its Autumn exhibition.
Courtesan Margaret Caroline Rudd lived a colourful life of intrigue and deception, and amongst her many admirers, is said to have had affairs with John Wilkes, James Boswell and Samuel Johnson. However, she is most remembered for her actions that caused a society scandal that sent the Perreau Brothers to the gallows.
The exquisite dressing table, which is believed to have been made for her home in Harley Street by George Hepplewhite, is for sale for £65,000. Harveys first acquired and sold it in 1983, only for it to come back into their hands some years later. It quickly sold again to a collector in Vienna. Now the owner has asked Harveys to find this beautiful piece a new home.
The exquisite dressing table, on sale for £65,000, is believed to have been designed and made for Rudd by George Hepplewhite.
Harveys was started by Walter Harvey after he came to London from Vienna on the last Kindertransport before the annexation of Austria by Germany in 1938. After serving during the war, Walter returned to England and in 1951, opened trading premises at 69 Chalk Farm Road in North London.
In 1971, proprietor David Harvey joined his father Walter, and in 1983 they relocated to Old Bond Street. In 1996, they moved to their current location of Witney, Oxfordshire, where they keep a wide range of high quality antique pieces mainly from the Georgian and Regency periods.
David Harvey, proprietor of W.R. Harvey & Co. (Antiques) Ltd
In his 40 years at Harveys, David has continued to sell antique furniture, paintings and accessories, and has clients around the world. He is also a local politician, having served two terms as Mayor of Witney.
For 2016, David has chosen to celebrate the company's 65th anniversary with the publication of a book, commemorating the company's history with personal anecdotes and stories of major pieces that have passed through their hands several times on their journeys across the globe.
The exhibition takes place from 5 November until 20 November 2016, at the W.R. Harvey & Co. premises in Witney, Oxfordshire. Copies of the book will be available to the press.
In addition to the Autumn exhibition, W.R. Harvey & Co. will also be appearing at the Cheshire Decorative, Antiques and Art Fair.
For more information on both events, visit W.R. Harvey & Co.


text: Hello all, I am a Verizon user in the market for a new phone. Currently I have an LG Chocolate 2 with an iPod touch for my mobile internet needs. I am currently a college student who lives on campus and have wifi almost everwhere I am. I have always been hesitant of getting a smartphone because of the $30 data plan, because I already have access to free data. My Chocolate seems to be acting up, so I am in the market for a new phone. I have looked at the very limited selection of feature phones and none of them really appeal to me. I see that Verizon now has a $15 plan which I would strongly consider with an Android phone. In addition, I see that the price of Android phones are dropping. Best Buy even has an HTC Droid Incredible for free this weekend. I was talking with a Verizon rep who warned that the $15 data plan will probably not be enough, with a droid. I mentioned that I have campus wifi and she still didn't seem sure. The campus wifi seems to work pretty well with my iPod, although it seems to disconnect periodically, and require a moment or two to reconnect. What are everyone's thoughts? Am I going to run into problems with this setup? I guess my biggest concern is that the phone will experience these disconnects and utilize large amounts of data via 3G without my knowledge. Thanks, Brennan

Wondering if there are any suggestions for bistro-type places in the 4th. Last year we stayed in the 6th and hit places like La Ferrandaise and La Maree Verte and really enjoyed them. (Love the old ocean liner theme in LMV) Looking for that ilk in the 4th, if possible.
Familiar with Benoit, Bofinger and Mon Vieil Ami, but looking for something more like the 2 I mentioned in the 6th. Thanks!

BlizzCon is upon us. 12 total teams from 8 of the major regions: North America, Latin America, Australia, Europe, Korea, China, Taiwan and Southeast Asia will come together to find one team who stands apart from the rest. One team to crown as the Heroes of the Storm World Champions.
Tomorrow, Wednesday the 26th, is day 1 of opening week. Denial has been slotted in group 1, so they'll be playing on day 1.
Denial will get Reborn first, and should they advance, they'll have to play one of the most undisputedly dominant teams in the world, MVP Black.
At this point, people are saying that the teams in group 1 are just competing for second place, but we're hoping that Denial might have a few tricks up their sleeves to pull off an upset of the Korean super team. MVP Black is a previous world championship winner, but 3 members of Denial, KingCaffeine, K1Pro, and iDream, are last year's BlizzCon winners, so there is absolutely no reason to count them out yet.
The winners of each group will advance to the playoff bracket, where one team will be the ultimate victors.
After Denial advanced to the global circuit at Regional 2, several members of the team quoted that they'd practiced harder than they ever have before in order to make it to BlizzCon. You can bet that their goal, however, is not just to make it there, but to win it. So you can imagine that the team has been grinding out practice sessions and working on strategies and compositions that they might can use to topple some of the best teams in the world at this dynamic game. During my interview with KingCaffeine a few weeks ago, I asked him how they planned on winning, and he said "We are working on a variety of styles and execution comps that people haven't seen us run. I wouldn't count Murky out just yet…"
Murky: A baby Murloc that has a tiny death cooldown, and almost no health whatsoever. A "specialist" hero that is outclassed in so many ways. Yet that's who Cloud9 picked "to do the damage" for their team comp in 2015's BlizzCon tournament. That's who they picked to decide their fate.
Will the Murloc see action again this tournament? Probably not. Is Denial favored to win this tournament? Or even their Group? Not really. But, that may just mean that the Wolfpack has everyone right where they want them.
Catch the action tomorrow morning at 11:00 CT at https://www.twitch.tv/blizzheroes. You won't want to miss it.
And, of course, if you haven't already, stop by the Wolfpacks' twitter pages and wish them all good luck: @callmecaff, @c9k1pro, @Glaurung_tv, @apmgod, @C9iDream and @HandleBarsHots.

What should you do if an employee has used up all her available FMLA and personal leave and still needs periodic time off? If she has a disability, you may be required to let her take more leave as a reasonable accommodation under both the ADA and the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD).
How much extra time you provide depends on the employee's needs and your resources and staffing capabilities.
Recent case: Donna Brooks has sickle cell disease, which causes intermittent debilitating pain episodes. They must be treated with bed rest or hospitalization. Brooks worked for the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission and had to take lengthy blocks of leave when the pain in her bones flared up.
One year, she used a total of about 15 weeks of leave in approximately monthly increments.
Since she had effectively used up her 12 weeks of FMLA leave, she suggested that additional time off would be a reasonable accommodation under the ADA and NJLAD. For a while, the state granted Brooks periodic time off when her condition flared up. But then she was terminated after one of her supervisors argued that the commission didn't have enough backup to cover the absences and still get its work done.
She was eventually rehired for another, less demanding position, but by then she had filed a lawsuit.
The state requested dismissal, but the court said her reasonable-accommodations claim could go forward. It noted that the commission had to do more than say work wasn't getting done because of her absences. It has to show that staffing levels and Brooks' pattern of absences taken together made it unreasonable to give her time off. (Brooks v. State of New Jersey, No. A-3834-09, Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division, 2011)

For a few months now there has been a public back & forth between actor Emeka Ike & his wife Suzanne Ike which has played out in the press.
The couple have 4 gorgeous kids together and have been married for 15 years, but back in July she filed for divorce citing emotional & physical abuse at the hands of her actor husband.
In her court testimony she said,
It was when my husband beat me mercilessly I believed that people truly saw stars whenever they were unconscious. It was my brother who took me to the hospital where I spent two months. There was also a day I was feeding our last child with tea, my husband, out of anger took the tea and poured it on my head. Each time we fight, he calls me a witch saying whenever he intends to start a project and he informs me it eventually fails. He also said if he hadn't married me, I would have become a prostitute. Since I left, he doesn't allow me to speak with our first two children, asking me to come home if I really want to see them. Even when I was in with him, he leaves home for months on the pretext of different appointments. I can't face all this anymore. I need help.
After the news broke Emeka denied he was getting divorced saying, "I am a Christian, we don't divorce"
He begged his wife to come back to him while claiming he never hurt her. But Suzanne insists she doesn't want to be married to him anymore…the divorce case is going ahead.
In the latest twist in their messy divorce case he is blaming Household of God Founder, Pastor Chris Okotie for plotting to keep his wife from him & destroy their marriage. He has released a statement blasting Okotie. The statement says,
I want people to look into this issue critically. I've never beaten this woman in my life. When she ran out of home, I called my pastor and they took us for counselling. For one week, I was begging her every day; I would go home alone and she would go home alone as well.
At a point, pastor asked us to write five things we like and dislike about each other. The pastor said that maybe we could work it out. I wrote mine, she wrote hers and she never said there that I used to beat her. I still have that document with me. She gave me what she wrote and I gave her what I wrote. If I used to beat her, she could not have left it out from that then. Any man that beats a woman is a coward. I know that someone somewhere must have done something to her. How can I beat a woman I adore so much? I love my family and this is very unfortunate. Her children have been begging her to come home, and she has refused.
I am pretty sure my wife is acting confused; she is acting as if she is under a spell, which is psychological and then she is acting under blackmail.
There was a time I accused her of bringing men to my house. I mean, which woman will wake her husband up in the middle of the night and said to him, share your property I want to get my share now from what you have? Tell me, which woman will do that if not acting under a spell?
There was a time I travelled and she closed down my school and sent all the students away. So, there is a lot to it, other than the allegation of battery against me and I want the whole world to know. My name is precious to me and I don't want anything to drag it in the mud.
Pastor Chris Okotie just absolved my wife into his church without making any effort to get in touch with me. If as a pastor, your church member is having issue with her husband, and you failed to do anything to resolve it, what kind of pastor are you? When I called him, he refused to pick my call. He also failed to react to a text message I sent to him. Is that a man of God? Even, if you have a police case, they will make effort to hear from you before taking a position, not to talk of the church.
When we went to court, I told my wife that I'm interested in amicable settlement of the matter, and that I still want her back. But she refused. Even, if you don't want me, what of your children, I asked her and she still would not listen to me. I want the whole world to know because there is a lot of misinformation out there. The lawyer which Okotie hired for my wife is also frustrating every attempt I make to resolve the matter peacefully
Hmmmm…Tales by moonlight kinda ish…

Harry Potter Witch
by Silverfawkes
Chapter 6
The moment light appeared the aurors went into action they enlarged the map. A patronus was sent to the waiting hit wizard squad to bring them to Potter's Haven for the assault planning. Jake and Annette were slightly overwhelmed as half the wizards and witches present promptly left and the hit wizard squad that had been on standby started appearing for their briefing. Ernie gave Harry's shoulder a squeeze and said, "We'll get it narrowed down. Hopefully we'll have the building by one. Susan will brief the hit wizards. How about you try to get another nap in and clean yourself up. Those of us that know you, know to find your current attire intimidating, but I would prefer that you dress to intimidate the hell out of these guys."
"I'll try. Thanks, Ernie."
"Not necessary." He guided Harry from the briefing room towards the Master suite. Making sure to put silencing charms on the door knowing his friend needed to rest.
The dozen aurors who apparated to the ministry apparation point nearest the target area from Potter's Haven were very focused on finding the building where Teddy and the American were being held. If they could, they wanted to spare Harry the process of going through the meeting with the kidnappers, but with a one o'clock time frame that wasn't likely. Ernie would be co-ordinating with the local police, and once he got Harry settled he would also be helping. A third of the aurors had either been friends or students of Harry's and took a personal affront that anyone would do this to Harry after she had gone through so much already. So they were at the top of their game.
Noon arrived and although Harry had laid down for two hours she hadn't slept. She got up and went to her closet she pulled out the basilisk skin armor, she had had made the year after she taught at Hogwarts. She had called herself seven kinds of a fool when she'd gone down and collected the skin, but now she was glad she had. Basilisk skin was as strong as dragon hide and offered the same protection but was much lighter and had more flex. She pulled a silk camisole out to go under it. She then looked at her clothes critically. Ernie wanted her to look intimidating. Harry wanted to look anything but. She wanted these wizards to underestimate her. She needed to look like a mother, but still be wearing something she could move well in. Skirt then, but not the pencil one. The full one she had worn for the date with Ike to St. Pauls, and a button up blouse that would hide the close fitting armor. And maybe give her a place to hide her sword. Boots that she could hide a knife and her spare wand in. She wanted these bozos to think mum and purity it would give her a needed advantage She pulled out a delicate silver cross she had gotten in Milan. On an impulse she switched her spare wand with her primary. She carefully layered charms on her primary wand and her knife in her boot and her sword in it's magical scabbard. She would be armed to the teeth and she hoped they would believe the image and not physically search her. figuring they wouldn't want her to keep her wand. This way as long as they didn't thoroughly search her with both a physical and magical search at the same time she would have her best wand and her weapons available to her. She used makeup to make herself look more pale, more delicate, more vulnerable never mind as far as she was concerned each and every one of those bastards was completely expendable. They had taken her son dammit and a man without magic to force her to bond with a dark lord so he could steal her magic. Amoral sons-of-bitches like that deserved whatever the hell they got.
She looked at the clock and went down stairs. "Did you find them?"
"Yes, unfortunately there are enough of them and positioned such to make it tricky. As it stands we cant guarantee the safety of the hostages." Susan said.
"I go in then." Harry handed the hit wizard team leader, Jefferson, her necklace. " Did Sue show you the list of surveillance spells?" When she got an affirmative nod, Harry continued. "Get as much detail on the location as you can before I get there. Be ready to move on my signal. Tag this so you'll know when I slide it along the chain. Twice it's a signal to get ready, two more times means go. I'll get myself in position to shield myself and the hostages. Anyone else there is fair game. Got it?"
Jefferson did a spell tying the necklace to a message board on his wrist then handed it back to her. "Got it."
"Need I tell you, I don't care what kind of shape these guys are in later."
"No, Ma'am."
"Well, I'm off to my meeting. Annette, I'll do my best to see that Ike gets back in one living piece."
"We appreciate that, Harry." She said from where she and Jake stood in the corner of the briefing room.
Jake desperately wanted to follow but he had been ignored for the most part and it was clear to him he didn't know enough about the area to be anything but a liability.
Jefferson gave Harry a set of earrings. "Latest from the Unspeakables the left is a mike. We should be able to hear everything you do, the right is a receiver you'll be able to hear us but only you will. They are designed not to register on a magic sweep. Crafter said you would know the spells."
Harry nodded. She did indeed know the spells she had helped design them last year. Her primary wand, the knife and sword she was already wearing were covered in them. A thought occurred to her as she switched from her plain studs to the delicate looking crystal and wire chandelier earrings, "Percy could you go to Teddy's room I think he's got one of George's fake wands. I should take that, they'll expect me to carry a back up. That way we can show them what they expect without me loosing my primary."
He nodded and moments later he was back with it.
Harry left the house and apparated to the ministry point closest to the Hyde Park meeting point. She had to walk about a half mile. She arrived fifteen minutes early and acted the part of a panicky mum, pacing and acting as if she was blinking back worried tears. She could feel eyes on her and knew early though she had been, the kidnappers had been even earlier.
Jamal Rios and two of the others had all run sweeps they couldn't find any recognizable surveillance. She had come alone as ordered. 'Ms. Potter, If you want to see your son again, hand me your wand by the tip."
"Please don't hurt my son. I'll do what you want just don't hurt my son." Harry pulled her wand from her sleeve and extended her secondary wand.
"Cooperate and we won't have to. Put your hands on the bench, we're going to frisk you."
Harry didn't fuss; she cooperated, having expected this. They found the fake wand at her waist and stopped searching. One of them slapped her hard across the cheek. She allowed her eyes the natural reaction of tears, but compared to Dudley's old hits, it was nothing.
"Stupid puta, did you think we would not search you!" The wizard who found the fake wand snapped it.
They shoved her towards the edge of the park,where they apparently had a rental car. They drove around London apparently watching to see if they had a tail for most of an hour. Harry was actually frightened by this. The person driving had apparently used spells get the lease of a car. It was obvious he didn't drive often or well. When they finally entered the neighbor hood where she knew her son was she fought against the urge to sigh in relief, because this wasn't over yet.
Harry could hear the chatter of the hit wizard team and the aurors in her ear.
"They're here." she recognized Annie's voice.
"Confirmed." came Ernie's.
"Alpha team in position on the roof."
"Beta in position to follow up the stairs."
"Charlie. We' re ready to come through the walls."
"We've got them boxed in and are ready for your signals, Harry." Came Jefferson's voice.
Harry knowing she was observed gave an affirmative nod.
"Confirmed," came over the earpiece in Susan's voice.
They guided Harry into an office space in a mostly unused building. There was a reception desk a row of cubicles, what looked like a private office and a large conferencing area. Harry spoke to give the layout to the listening teams. 'Nice office space, no receptionist, does each terrorist have their own cubicle down the left side or do you have to share, does you leader have his own private office at the back?"
"Shut up, bitch!"
"Where is my son? You demanded I come here! I'm here! I want my son, now where is he?"
"When I have an Unbreakable Vow from you that you will come to the United States and marry my Lord. Then I will show you your son."
"You think me a fool." Harry needed this to go differently so she did something she had never done before that she knew was possible. She dropped the walls she kept around her magical aura and projected it and her anger for she was worth. "I have co-operated as far as I will until I see my son!"
Harry felt a surge of relief when it worked. The kidnappers mostly got terrified looks. Omar Rios looked at his brother and nodded. Jamal left where he was standing near Harry and headed to the office to get Teddy. Harry gave the ready signal and edged around to where Teddy would appear.
Teddy had moved away from Ike before the kidnapper entered the trunk. He kept up what he dubbed his crybaby act as the kidnapper levitated him out of the trunk and grabbed him. He knew he'd see his mum in a couple minutes. He made a point of distracting the guard so the man would forget to lock the trunk. He smirked a little as they moved away from the trunk.
Jamal kept one hand on this brat's collar, that witch scared him enough that he wanted to keep this brat between her and himself.
Harry dropped to one knee when she caught sight of Teddy, and grasped her wand.
Omar snarled, "You can see your son. Give me your oath!"
Harry gave the signal, then she cast a shield with her wand at Teddy. While drawing her rapier with her free hand. "I don't think so arsewipe."
The hit wizard squad burst through the doors, the wall and the outer window and dropped most the kidnappers with stunners. Jamal grabbed Teddy scooping him up and using him a a personal shield.
Teddy wriggled like an eel trying to get free, but the man's arm around his diaphragm quickly subdued him because he couldn't get enough air. He could feel a wand at his throat. He looked at Harry.
As soon as the foreign wizard grabbed Teddy, Harry focused on him. She scarcely noticed as the leader of the kidnappers moved to attack her. She instinctively moved her rapier to intercept her attacker and didn't really notice as she ran him through. All her attention on the wizard holding Teddy, and on the yellow spell he held at the tip of his wand that was touching Teddy's throat.
Ike moved the second the trunk lid began to close. His tool was set for knife use and he held it in his teeth so he could use both hands to climb. He nearly swore as he failed to get to the top of the ladder before the lid fell completely shut. Teddy was supposed to prevent the kidnappers from locking it, hopefully that had gone as planned. Ike smiled as he pushed up on the lid. He crept out hoping to maintain the element of surprise. He abruptly changed tactics when he could tell from the sound of things the party had already started. He headed to the door of the room. Only to be met with the back of a man. Over the man's shoulder he could see Harry's white face and the fact that the leader of these cretins had been run through with a rapier. He could see that the person in front of him had hold of Teddy, so Ike did what he thought best. He grabbed the man's wand arm and pulled it away from Teddy while sinking his knife in the man's side to the hilt. He was horrified when the spell he had pulled away from Teddy instead hit Harry.
Harry saw the spell coming and was glad she had donned her armor. Because there wasn't even time to step to the side.
Seconds later she heard, a chorus of clears from the hit wizard squad, as she felt the most wonderful sensation in the world: her son's arms wrapping around her. She looked into Ike's eyes; she owed him for this. The spell that had threatened Teddy was a dark one. With the wand touching Teddy as it had been, it would have killed her son. Harry probably would need a potion herself despite her armor. She smiled.
Ike saw the smile on Harry's face and joined her and Teddy in a three way hug.
Aurors crowded into the room to deal with the criminals. Harry ignored them she said, "Let's go home."
"Shouldn't you get checked over by a Healer?" Ike asked.
"We'll call Poppy from Potter's Haven. She can deal with most anything."
"Sounds good. Sorry you had to work so hard. I didn't mean to miss our date."
'You're forgiven. I'm just glad you're alright." She said as she laid a hand on his whiskered cheek. Harry lead them the two floors up to the roof pulled them close and apparated them home. Jewel might harass her for ignoring ministry apparition points but she figured it would more likely go unremarked amongst all the other magic that had been worked here today.
Teddy headed for the house the moment they landed.
Ike looked at the large Tudor style house. "Nice."
"We call it home." Harry said.
They were met at the door by Percy, Annette and Jake. Percy took one good look at Harry and promptly excused himself, "I'll call Madame Pomfrey."
Annette and Jake spent the next half an hour assuring themselves of Ike's well-being.
When Poppy Pomfrey arrived she checked Teddy, then Harry then Ike. She cleaned and healed the couple of cuts Harry had gotten from flying glass and splinters and said she would send a potion for Harry. She recommended that Ike rest and drink plenty of fluids, and warned Harry that Teddy was likely to have bad dreams for a while. That if they got bad Harry should contact her for dreamless sleep.
Harry's lack of sleep was catching up with her. Yawning Harry announced, "I think I'm going to head to bed, catch up on my sleep."
"Mum, can I join you?" Teddy asked.
It had been many years since Teddy had slept in Harry's bed to stave off bad dreams but she wouldn't deny her son the comfort of that right now. "Sure." Harry felt like she was being very forward, but Teddy wasn't the only one who felt the need for comfort. She looked at Ike, "Would you like to join us?"
Ike was a little surprised at the invitation, but he doubted he would ever get a better one. "I would."
An hour later after they had notified the family in the States, Jake and Annette checked on them. Ike opened an eye when he heard the door open, but Harry and Teddy slept on. They went back out.
"I think Uncle Marius is going to have to find a new muggle liaison officer for the Confederacy." Jake said.
"Looks that way. It also looks like your mom will need to find a new history teacher." Annette agreed.
"I still don't get it. Why would a witch as obviously powerful as her settle for someone like Ike?"
"I think Harry isn't drawn to power at all. She has more than enough and understands the drawbacks to having it. According to her friends she didn't have a great child hood and she's drawn to what her childhood lacked, love. You have to admit that if there was one thing that Ike has always had an abundance of it was love to give. I don't think Harry is settling at all. I think Ike is offering her exactly what she wants most."
"Guess so." Jake leaned forward and drew his pregnant wife into his arms. Sometimes all you need is love.
A/N: There we go. I have ideas for a sequel but I probably won't post that one until I've gotten it written. Sorry for the long delay, between computer problems, RL and muse going in other directions it took me awhile.

Housing Affairs
The Icelandic Government, acting on a proposal from the Minister of Social Affairs, has resolved to submit to the Icelandic parliament Althingi a bill of legislation amending the Act on Housing Affairs, No. 44/1998, as subsequently amended.
The objective of the bill is to ensure more favourable housing mortgages for Icelanders through the Housing Finance Fund (HFF), by obtaining less expensive financing on the general loan market. This objective is to be achieved by restructuring HFF's bond issuance, replacing housing bonds and housing authority bonds with new HFF bonds. This restructuring will make financing more cost-efficient, remove the main disadvantages of the current issuance and create the basis for reliable price formation on the securities market.
The changes are aimed at improving the situation for HFF borrowers, both by lowering the cost of financing and by reducing risk in connection with real estate transactions. The system changes proposed in this bill will lead to payment of cash mortgages, thus eliminating the impact of discounts when selling securities. The bill proposes to link the interest rates on mortgages to currently market yields.
It is aimed at increasing the liquidity of HFF bonds on the securities market, which will likely result in lowering investors' yield demands. If this proves to be the case, HFF will be able to lower its mortgage rates to borrowers. The expectation is thus that the above-mentioned changes will result in lower financing costs for borrowers and reduce HFF's handling costs.
The Bill's main innovations include:
- Instead of HFF providing borrowers with market securities in return for a real estate mortgage, as is the case under the current housing bond system, HFF bonds will be auctioned on the market and the borrowers paid the value of the mortgage in cash. The terms of the mortgage will be based on HFF's total financing cost, i.e. interest terms will be determined by the outcome of auctions of HFF bonds and financing terms resulting from prepayment of HFF mortgages. The interest rate will be based on a weighted mean of these two factors. HFF will add a premium to this, as is currently the case for mortgages granted by HFF and sales of housing authority bonds. Under the new arrangements, interest rates on HFF mortgages will be adjusted following each auction and may as a result vary through time.
- The Bill proposes that instead of issuing two types of securities, as has been the case for just over a decade now, i.e. housing bonds and housing authority bonds, HFF will only issue one type of security, HFF bonds.
- HFF bonds are envisaged as inflation-linked annuity bonds with four instalments annually. Annuity mortgages are a common form of bond everywhere in the world, which should thus be compatible with all systems used today in securities transactions. HFF bonds are to be issued in only a few series, which will be open for their entire period of maturity; they will thus be large series, marketable on the international market.
- A new ÍLS mortgage will replace the current real estate mortgage exchanged for housing bonds.
- To accelerate the introduction and marketability of HFF bonds on the market, owners of housing bonds and housing authority bonds will be offered to switch them for HFF bonds and switch auctions will be held. Work is currently underway on the arrangements for these switch auctions, which will be announced later. These switches will be based on market terms, with regard to the issuer's risk. HFF's Board of Directors intends to enlist the services of a specialist to assist in implementing the switches.
- HFF will no longer hold a call option for housing bonds, in response to mortgage pre-payments, as part of the policy of making the HFF bonds more attractive to investors.
The changes in loans are expected to take place from July the 1st 2004 and that the HFF bonds will be issued after April the 15th 2004.
The objective of the Bill is to strengthen and further the purpose of the Act on Housing Affairs. This Act is intended to contribute, through provision of mortgages and emphases in housing affairs, to ensuring security and equality in housing matters, and to make use of funding especially to increase the possibility for individuals to acquire or rent housing on manageable terms.
The Icelandic Bill of Legislation is included, together with an English translation.

Hi Mike
Just wanted to say thanks for all the help and support we've had lately getting up and running with the new hosting service.
We've always received high quality assistance and patience which is very much appreciated. Although we're very technical in terms of being software engineers we're really not up with cloud technology. Your guys have been absolutely brilliant.
It looks as if you have managed the impossible and supervised a fairly painless migration. There's only one way to achieve that, and that is good planning and hard work.Simon Dipper | 14th March
I'm delighted with your Sage solution- it's one of the best tech related business decisions we've made. Sage is faster, more reliable and easier to use than it was when we hosted it locally, plus I don't need to worry about backups any longer. Data corruption is a thing of the past, and your tech team has been fantastic in granting access to our web developers to allow their programs to link in. I'd recommend your solution and company to anyone using Sage over multiple locations- it's a far better solution than Sage Drive.Ben Biscoe / Director, Fairyglass Ltd | 8th March
I have to say the service and the quality of provision/support you provide is exactly what I am looking for in a partner. My expectations are fully met. Keep up the good work!Ian Cowan | Patrick Parsons | 31st Jan
KnowAll IT were recommended to us by our ACT! and Sage consultant as he had other clients who used them. We moved from what was a quite reasonably spec'd AWS (Amazon Web Services) server and immediately noticed two things: (i) how easy/ low hassle it was to set up and then log in to programs, and (ii) how much quicker everything was. Our previous server wasn't slow but whatever set-up KnowAll have it's made an immediate and noticeable difference – things are now rapid. Also very welcome is the level of support and customer service they have provided – this has made the whole transition process extremely easy and we feel very confident, being a small business with limited IT resource in house, that we are in good hands moving forwards.Tim Edwards | Sure Track | 27th Jan
Good morning Simon
I hope that this email finds you in great form.
I thought that I should drop you a line to let you know how happy I have been with the service provided by Knowall. This is really since you first started supporting Blue Chip many years ago, but the courtesy, efficiency, and good humour that your team – in particular Matt D and Sam – has handled us with recently is an example to all who are in a service business.
Long may it continue.
Have a great day
Dear Michael
You have made for very happy Brabazons – can't thank you enough for more-than-excellent service, speed and feed back and very much hope we have not gone onto 'client from hell' list. You have been a star and we are so grateful.Harriet | Cresta Run
I was really impressed with Bernie and Simon yesterday – so helpful and professional. Just what we've been looking for.Rosie | Dints International
I just wanted to let you know that Bernard helped me solve a problem this morning and he did a marvellous job. He got my device working and I am well chuffed.Tina | CUF Properties
Knowall are helpful even at the weekend! Their solutions especially Cerberus, keep on working.Chester Zoo |
…may I just take this opportunity to say that it has been a pleasure to have worked with you. (I am at this point very aware that it was of course you guys doing the 'work' part!) You have all been more than delightful and approachable under some rather stressful situations and put up with my panics, for this I am very grateful.
You are all super stars and I genuinely feel MBDS is a vastly more functional company since having Knowall onboard.
I will give you a call as soon as I get a new job as I won't believe any other IT company could possibly support one in the same way!!
We found Knowall to have the right balance of telephone support and on site IT Engineers to fix any problems that we have had this year, their technicians are first rate but importantly their remote support has saved us literally thousands of pounds and time, by avoiding site visits, I would be happy to personally recommend them.Marquee Hire |
We have been using Knowall for around three years now, initially just as network support and they have proven to be a reliable business partner that have help us a lot.
They are currently providing remote monitoring of network and back ups, off site replication of our UK and US offices data.
We have our primary sql server mirrored a replication server in the building, backed up to tape and replicated to an offsite server for other backup. Knowall took over the SQL side of things after we had a major systems failure when building work around the server room destroyed our primary server and the tape back ups.
We found that our "then" SQL support provider had neglected to complete offsite monitoring or adequate backups and we were faced with a tricky recovery path as elements of the database had been corrupted when the data base stopped as the server went down.
Knowall were very proactive in helping to arrange forensic data recovery from the hard drives and damage tapes, put in significant effort to get us up and running ASAP and worked with our applications providers to get things back to normal. They were very professional in the way they helped deal with the damaged data base and helping us get through the recovery period. Subsequently, they have taken over all responsibility for our SQL backups and have advised us on strengthening our backup//dr procedures and helped advise us in the development of our infra structure to get us to the current position. We have quarterly rehearsed DR's on key files and data bases and I receive daily e mail notifications that back ups have completed.
Also if elements of the backup procedure do have issues (for example two days ago electrical work in the road outside side our building shut the power off for a few minutes late at night during our tape backup cycle) our primary site engineer contacted me before 9am to advise me to check the tape loader and establish if a sight visit was necessary, that replications to other serves had been completed and that despite interruption we had two full viable replications of our system available to us at that time.
As a business partner I'm very happy with their performance and out of all of our IT support agencies for different elements of our business, they are probably the one I am most comfortable working with.
I have worked with Knowall for 8 years now. I continue to use them due to their ability to understand our business needs to supply excellent solutions to support our business processes. Combined with an always available, no call queuing help desk, to support our systems. In addition to providing our onsite engineers with a 2nd line support for our Swyx VOIP and Microsoft systems.The English National Opera |
Having had Knowall manage our IT for several years there was no surprise when they exceeded our expectations with our recent office move, working into the night and on weekends to fit into our tight timescale was extremely great performance from Knowall. Knowall have always given 110% to the smooth running of our ITThe Security Watchdog |
Thanks for your help today, great service from everyone at Knowall as usual!West Country Fruit Sales |
Knowall IT took over our IT system in July/August last year, when it was decided that we needed to move to the Cloud. It was complicated as many transitions go, we had three different companies sharing one server, but Knowall were very efficient and capable, ironed out the problems very quickly so that it would cause the least disruption to each business. All the Knowall IT staff are very polite, friendly and extremely helpful.CUF Properties |
Many thanks for all your great work and I very much hope that you are happy with the result as I am.
When I have a little more time I would very much like to take you, Sam and Peter Day for a spot of lunch to show my appreciation.
I would like to say thank you to all of you for your work. We are making a very good progress, being on first page of Google for "south London builders" is fantastic.Eva – South London Refurbishments |
I just wanted to say how easy and uncomplicated you and your colleagues have made our move over to your system over the past week or so. Redford has made life very easy and has indulged us all with our fairly petty queries as things migrated over. The system appears to be working well and is so much easier and quicker to use.David – Calabash Group |
