IndyMac Bank - IndyMac's zero customer service
Like many people in these troubled times my wife and I are having money problems.As we get more behind in our bills we look for other ways of doing things.
We decided to check with Indy mac about a mortgage modification.To our surprise we were told by a very rude person that we were not eligible as the property was an investment property. When asked how they reached this determination we were told that they had hired an independent company to drive by and verify the status of the property. This determination came back as unoccupied investment property and we were not eligible for any mods. This has been our only residence since it's purchase in 1998.
Furthermore we live in a very remote area and I know that their independent person did not drive by my house because you can't drive by my house. I live at the end of a dirt road in a valley with no other house around.
I might as well talk to a pile of dog *** as these people, the *** would be more responsive!!Indy Mac ***
Monetary Loss: $80.

Terms of Service
My husband and I have been trying to Modify our loan with Indymac bank for almosr 3 years now.NOTHING!
all we do is complete paperwork send this in send that in. We did receive our trial period papers which we completed but nothing since our trial payments.
No returned calls nothing.
Wh will Indymac not help their customers???What is the propblem with them??
Now make them validate their claim as well as have your mortgage papers looked at by a certified auditor.They may be trying to take your home because it has value being as it is just what you say it is.
Many people are looking for what you have, I know I would not turn down a place like that if I could afford it. Now how do you take them to task? endlessfrauddetection.com can provide you all the information that you need to make them prove their claim they to any right to your home as they could very well not have a legal claim. These things are also contingent on several things like if you have refied or obtained a Heloc since 1998 and the securitization of mortgages in 2000 to 2001.
Equity stripping is also a major problem these days, when someone has a lot to loose the mortgage servicer's have a lot to gain.
If you have any questions about the information on the site contact email@example.com to learn more about holding these banksters to the law.Do not let them steal your home, rather take back this country one home at a time.

GUS POYET is hoping he can continue to be "the scourge of Newcastle".
The new Sunderland head coach makes his Stadium of Light debut against the Magpies.
Poyet faces a baptism of fire on his home bow in 17 days time, when he is thrust into the cauldron of the Wear-Tyne derby.
But the Uruguayan has proved to be a nemesis against Sunderland's arch-rivals during both his playing and management career, with late ex-Magpies boss Sir Bobby Robson once labelling him "the scourge of Newcastle".
Poyet netted six times against Newcastle during his stints at Chelsea and Tottenham, and eliminated Alan Pardew's side from the FA Cup in each of his last two seasons of Brighton.
And he is eager to continue that misery for Newcastle when he attempts to secure the bragging rights for Sunderland over their neighbours.
"My life in England and my career as a player and manager has been linked with Sunderland and Newcastle," said Poyet. "A little bit more with Newcastle to be honest because somehow – I don't know why – I always seemed to score against them.
"They already hated me a little bit and now they probably hate me a little bit more. That's football.
"I always try to do the best for the club that I'm in.
"I support the club I'm working for and become a fan and I think that will show with the passion and what the players show as well.
"Let's hope it's a good one and we can beat Newcastle in a couple of weeks."
Poyet also netted five times against Sunderland as a player – including a consolation in the Black Cats' famous 4-1 Stadium of Light victory over Chelsea in 1999 – and knocked the Black Cats out of the League Cup in 2011 with Brighton.
But it was his brace against Newcastle in the 2000 FA Cup semi-final which proved to be his crowning glory against the North East pair.
With 18 minutes remaining, Poyet's header sent Chelsea through to the final after Rob Lee had cancelled out the midfielder's opener.
l SUNDERLAND'S games with Spurs and Cardiff in December will be shown live on Sky Sports.
The Black Cats will now face Spurs in a 5.30pm kick-off on Saturday, December 7.
And their festive trip to Cardiff on Saturday, December 28, will now take place at the later time of 5.30pm.

Ted Genoways, contributing editor for the New Republic and author of The Chain: Farm, Factory, and the Fate of Our Food, covers Chinese seed spies and the FBI, revealing troubling strategies of food as a weapon. Read the entire story here.
In December 2013, after collecting this evidence, U.S. marshals arrived at Mo's home in Boca Raton, Florida. He was taken into custody and extradited to Iowa, where he has been under house arrest in Des Moines ever since. The FBI also brought charges against five alleged co-conspirators, all Chinese, who remain at large, including the three men stopped by customs agents, and eventually against Mo's sister, Mo Yun, as well. Mo and his sister are scheduled to stand trial before a federal court in Iowa in September on charges of conspiracy to steal trade secrets. If convicted, they face up to ten years in prison and a $5 million fine.
This may seem like a lot of post-September 11 cloak-and-dagger for a few corn seeds, but the U.S. government believes that something much larger is going on. This theft, they argue, stems from an undeniable and dangerous fact: Despite its remarkable landmass, China simply can't grow enough food to feed itself, particularly now that the country's burgeoning middle class has acquired an appetite for meat. (Most corn in China is used as feed for livestock.) Water shortages and lack of arable terrain have forced their government to buy between two and five million metric tons of American corn annually, approximately 94 percent of all corn imported into China each year.
If China hopes to feed (and pacify) its growing population while also loosening the very real stranglehold that America has on its national food supply, its farmers have to start producing a lot more corn—not just enough to meet their domestic demand in good years but enough to maintain a stockpile to offset their global market impact during bad ones. For decades, China has increased corn yields by putting more acres into production, but they're running out of arable land, and the USDA now estimates that Chinese corn consumption will rise by 41 percent by 2023, far outpacing production increases. The only tenable way for China to meet its own demand, then, is by planting high-performance hybrids, which can single-handedly double or potentially even triple per-acre corn production. Chinese scientists haven't developed a significant corn hybrid in years. But Monsanto and DuPont Pioneer, the two American seed giants, have produced so many successful hybrids that they now control 45 percent of all the seed sold in the world.
The Department of Justice maintains that China is quietly permitting and even encouraging companies to steal American agricultural secrets right out of the ground. Acquiring the technology behind these next-generation hybrids could save companies like DBN Group—and the country—as much as a decade, and many millions of dollars, in research. And, plant geneticists familiar with the case told me, the very fact that Kings Nower Seed has brought to market—and intended to bring more—products with stolen genetics hints that the Chinese government is complicit. The theft is not hard to detect or prove; the only way that DBN Group could hope to get away with this scheme is if China were pushing such spying as a matter of policy.
In fact, a 2011 report prepared by the Office of the National Counterintelligence Executive, which advises the president on intelligence matters related to national security, listed "agricultural technology" among the targets "likely to be of greatest interest" to spies from Russia and China. "Surging prices for food," the report stated, "may increase the value of and interest in collecting U.S. technologies related to crop production, such as genetic engineering, improved seeds, and fertilizer." Since that report, the Department of Justice has cracked down, successfully prosecuting Chinese national Kexue Huang for stealing secrets related to organic fertilizer production and an unidentified "new food product" while he was employed at both Dow AgroSciences and Cargill, as well as Weiqiang Zhang, for theft of genetically engineered rice seeds from Colorado-based Ventria Bioscience.

Now there's not much this born-and-raised Okie gal likes about living in the land of burnt orange, longhorns, and cowboy boots. But Texas, I've got to hand it to your beautiful fields of bluebonnets. You win. They're more lovely than a dozen jelly-filled donuts.
We found a little church near our house that had lots and lots of bluebonnets. Sawyer was an angel baby and worked the camera like a pro. (I tried to tell her that she has little chance of making it past her mamma's 5-foot stature, so not to get visions of runways in her head.)
Sometimes I can't believe she's really mine.
As my friend Kaysie puts it, my ovaries just burst.
"Boob. Stat."
I'm sure I said something truly hilarious.
The best a tripod and a self-timer could do to capture our little family. I'll take it.
She has my whole heart. Every stinkin' piece.
Oh hey there, blue eyes.
Her little toes just kill me. Kill me dead.

Eric Barker recently interviewed 99U speaker Cal Newport about his book "So Good They Can't Ignore You." Among the highlights was Newport's take on shifting mindsets to determine what to spend your professional life dong:
My advice is to abandon the passion mindset which asks "What does this job offer me? Am I happy with this job? Is it giving me everything I want?" Shift from that mindset to Steve Martin's mindset, which is "What am I offering the world? How valuable am I? Am I really not that valuable? If I'm not that valuable, then I shouldn't expect things in my working life. How can I get better?"

This hotel is by far the WORST hotel I've ever seen in the USA. It's only one step up from a homeless shelter. The elevator didn't work and they gave me a room on the 4th floor. I have a bad hip and we had two suitcases and one carry on. We were only staying in the hotel for one night before going on a cruise. I thought well it's close to Bayside, this is the USA, how bad could it be? It was the WORST! It was like going to a third world country. As soon as we walked into the lobby I knew it was bad. People were doing their shopping and filling their barrels which were held in the storage area. It just got worse from there. The check-in staff didn't greet us. They said nothing. I had to say excuse me we have a reservation. I could go on and on. Do not stay here. The rooms are old, the rugs are dirty, the locks on the door are not secure. The one we had had a hand made peep hole near the lock. There are no washcloths, no shampoo, no conditioner, only one small bar of soap. Like I said, it's one step up from a Homeless Shelter, DON"T STAY HERE!

Ask a Question
200 characters leftSubmit
- While the floats chill, the whipped cream and caramel sauce will combine into the apple cider. This is normal and gives the floats more flavor.
- If you would prefer not to make the float fizzy, use regular apple cider instead of sparkling.
- For a chocolaty taste, drizzle chocolate syrup over the floats instead of caramel sauce.
- If you freeze the cups aside of time for about half an hour, the floats will stay cold longer and won't melt as quickly.

What happens when bailiffs evict tenants
Your landlord can ask a court to send bailiffs to evict you from your home. It's the bailiffs' job to hand the vacant property back to your landlord.
Who can evict tenants?
Only bailiffs authorised by a court can evict you.
Bailiffs who evict people are usually employees of your local county court. Sometimes they are private bailiffs authorised by the High Court.
The bailiff's job is to hand the property back to your landlord. They will make sure you and anyone else living there leave.
Don't delay if you want to challenge an eviction by bailiffs.
Notice that bailiffs are coming
County court bailiffs should write to tell you when they will evict you. They post or hand deliver a Notice of Eviction (Form N54). This contains their contact details.
Private bailiffs authorised by the High Court can arrive to evict you without giving you any notice. You will get some warning that this might happen because your landlord must give you notice that they're applying to the High Court to use private bailiffs.
What happens when the bailiffs evict you
Bailiffs usually come between 9am and 5pm. Ask to see their identification, for example a badge, ID card or enforcement agent certificate. Bailiffs must have this with them.
They will ask you to leave if you are still at home. Give them your keys and go. Bailiffs may wait a short time while you move out, for example because you have children or are disabled, but they don't have to.
Bailiffs can't use physical violence or offensive language.
The police don't usually come to an eviction. If you don't leave voluntarily, the bailiffs are likely to call the police. The landlord or the bailiff may ask them to attend if there is a risk of violence or to prevent a breach of the peace. You can be arrested for breach of the peace.
What happens to your belongings
On the day of eviction, bailiffs will ask you to remove all your belongings that are still in the property. Try to pack or remove most of your belongings before the eviction date. This will make things easier on the day. Bailiffs don't have to give you extra time to pack your things.
They can pick up your belongings and put them outside or lock them inside the property. You will then have to arrange a time with your landlord to go back and pick them up.
Bailiffs must not damage your belongings. The bailiffs should not take anything of yours to pay for their costs or to cover any rent arrears, unless the court gives them a separate court order to do this.
Your landlord must keep your belongings safe for a reasonable time if any are left behind. You could be charged for storage, removal and disposal if you don't collect them. Usually it is illegal for your landlord to destroy or sell your belongings.
If you ask the council for help because you are homeless, it may have to look after your belongings. You can be charged a fee for this.
Leaving before the bailiffs come
You don't have to stay in your home until the bailiffs arrive.
You should stay until the day of the eviction if you ask the council for help because you are homeless. If you leave before you have to, the council could decide you are intentionally homeless.
Moving back in after eviction
Your landlord will probably change the locks after you've been evicted. You can be charged with criminal damage if you try to get back in.
If you do move back in without the landlord's permission, you will be a squatter. Squatting is a criminal offence that you can be arrested for.
Homeless after eviction
Find out about help from the council if you are homeless.

Thoughts on Wild Thing
The truck that I photographed stands at a depot in Pretoria West. It's a kind of scrap yard that contains all these relics from the past. Some vehicles are not in service any more while others like the Njalas are used for their spare parts. The setting of the truck is visible on the edges of the representation. I focussed on a blue green/dove grey Njala with stickers on the front that read 'Wild Thing' and a picture of a Rhinoceros. The pictures were taken over a period of
one month. I used early morning and late afternoon light that allowed me to play with hue.
Before the show I told you that I am working with process and that things are constantly in flux. That turned out to be the case up to the eleventh hour as I feared. Things luckily fell into place and turned up some nice surprises. Chance and fluidity is something I use in painting and elements that I like to allow room for when working with other mediums. The representation is fragmented and strung together to read as a tenuous whole. The end product is not a
picture but an unfolding of a picture. (It's interesting to note that I found pieces of the truck
removed one afternoon when I returned to take more pictures. The only sign of this in the representation is some oil on a tyre) I only saw the whole thing when it was assembled on
the floor. It was like a puzzle with some planned and some unplanned misfits filling the gaps. With the installation I decided to place the axis on the roof of the vehicle on the axis of the gallery floor. The cross motif is a strong feature which I did not anticipate. The skin lies at the entrance of the gallery, awaiting the viewer. The image appears somewhat comical and innocent, like a cardboard cut-out plaything, but it also looks a little menacing. About the wall piece: The wall virtually disappears in the general texture of the gallery surface. The builders were asked to duplicate what they have done on the rest of the gallery. Their skill serves to successfully hide their handwork. It is not pronounced as an artwork, with only a photograph to hint at its presence. It divides the gallery in two. The other side of the gallery is cut off and relegated. The back of the wall has a functional aesthetic. It looks like it serves the 'front', even though it is deliberately exposed and put on display.

Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a great long weekend. This past week was actually a nice recovery week after the 1/2 last weekend. You can read about that here:
Walt Disney World Marathon Dopey Challenge 2015 Week 7 Training- Hottest Half Race Recap and Thoughts
One of my criticisms of the race was the length, which measured by my GPS was 13.5 miles. It surprised me because it was a USATF certified course. Here is what I learned, from my friend Jimmy:
SPR stands for Shortest Possible Route. Which is, as its name, implies, the measured shortest distance we can run. Which, (according the USATF website USATF/RRTC Position on GPS used by runners)
Most runners don't actually run the SPR, so the distance recorded by their GPS device will usually be longer than the certified length of the course, even though the course was properly measured along the SPR according to USATF rules.
So the next time your wondering where in the world the finish line is, you probably did not run the SPR. Have a great day!
Here is my schedule for this week:
|Monday, September 1, 2014
|Tuesday, September 2, 2014
|45 Minutes
|Wednesday, September 3, 2014

If you want to join me and my friends, unfortunately the Dopey challenge is full, but the Goofy Challenge still has availability:

In future posts I will talk more about some of the challenges Dopey will pose and what I am looking forward too. If you have any questions about training or running just let me know have a Blessed Day!

The accommodation choices on North Caicos and Middle Caicos are a bit more limited compared to the offerings on Providenciales. The Pelican Beach Hotel on North Caicos and Blue Horizon Resorts on Middle Caicos are the only hotels/resorts. The majority of lodgings across both islands are vacation rental villas and suites.
The islands have low levels of development, and most rental accommodations are found in the settlements of Whitby, Bottle Creek, Sandy Point or Kew on North Caicos, or in Conch Bar or Bambarra on Middle Caicos.
With the exception of the village of Bottle Creek and Kew, most accommodations on both islands are either located on the beach or are within close walking distance of the beach. Some of the natural and historical attractions may be a bit remote, and shops, restaurants and sights tend to be spread across both islands, so we recommend that visitors rent a vehicle for at least part of their stay.
Complementary amenities such as bicycles, kayaks, stand up paddle boards and snorkel gear are often included at many of the villas, but if it's important that you have the use of any equipment, ensure that it's available before booking. Providenciales has a decent selection of water sports and outdoor shops that sell beach toys, umbrellas, snorkel gear and more.
You should considering stocking up on food and supplies on Providenciales before travelling over to North Caicos and Middle Caicos. The small supermarkets on North Caicos actually have good prices, but selection can be limited, especially for meat, dairy, and gourmet products.
In the majority of cases, you'll get the best rates by contacting the hotel or villa manager directly. You should definitely do a little research online beforehand so as to have an idea of the going price,
Rental vehicles are expensive (and in our opinion necessary), and some accommodations offer package rental car deals. Such a deal can save you quite a bit.
North and Middle Caicos are connected by a driveable causeway, so it doesn't really make a huge difference. North Caicos does have the better selection of shops and restaurants, but Middle Caicos offers a bit more in terms of sights and beaches.
It takes about 25-40 minutes to drive from the central region of Middle Caicos to the supermarkets and gas stations on North Caicos. This 10-20 mile (16-32km) journey is almost entirely on paved roads.
North and Middle Caicos experience the greatest amount of rainfall of the islands in the Turks and Caicos, and as such do see large numbers of mosquitoes at times.
Generally, the emergence of mosquitoes coincides with the Atlantic hurricane season due to rainfall caused by passing tropical depressions. Wind typically disperses mosquitoes quickly, but the best time to visit is typically the winter months.
The Sandy Point area, including the marina where the passenger ferry to Providenciales docks, can have biting midges (commonly referred to as no see ums or sand fleas) in the morning and evening. Mosquitoes repellents and precautions are appropriate for these pests.
There are several excellent restaurants across North Caicos and Middle Caicos. The truth is that some of the best Turks and Caicos cuisine is found on our Garden Islands. You'll definitely notice the difference in the national favourite dish of poached fish, peas and rice. On North and Middle, the fish is freshly-caught and the vegetables are locally-grown. On Providenciales, the chances are that the ingredients are imported.
Many of the vacation rental villas and suites offer full kitchens for those who'd like to cook. A few small grocery stores are found on North Caicos. Prices are generally low, yet the selection of specialty items may be quite limited. If you're planning to cook while staying on North or Middle Caicos, visiting one of the extensive Providenciales grocery stores before island hopping to North Caicos.
The catch always varies, yet it's easy to find fresh snapper and grouper for sale, and, when in season, conch and lobster. The vast majority of farming in the Turks and Caicos takes place on North Caicos, so you'll also be able to find fresh tomatoes, lettuce, papaya, plantains, squash, peppers and flavourful key limes.

text: If anyone is around San Diego....Also my tattoo by Craig Driscoll Five Two Tattoo is having another party again. I was able to party with the guys in December, and it was a lot of fun and got to meet a bunch of amazing tattoo artists that came along. As well as a bunch of other famous people like Danny Way. Plus Gunnar and Julian Zeff have started there too now Also, I flew to the States (Aus crew ) to go to San Diego to get a tattoo by Craig Driscoll. Dude is mad short. Five Two Tattoo is actually his height . Since my buddy wasn't in town, and I was staying at a hostel, he offered to let me stay with him too Gunnar and Julian Zeff hadn't started there when I was there, but I got to see Mike, Greg and Chris tattoo. All of them are insane, check them out, although Chris is supposed to be moving up to San Fran to work at Grime's shop. They arguably have the best shop and artists in the world right now. Anyway, here is my tattoo. Eellis has been harassing me forever to put it up, so here it is buddy. These represent my family, and are our Chinese horoscopes; 2 rabbits, a goat and a snake. It took 18 hours, and we did it over 3 days straight. It was originally going to be 2 days straight but he got super sick, so I had to miss my flight and get a lift back with one of the shop assistants and her husband

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — It's about to feel like winter in the Portland metro and Willamette valley, and it may also look like winter with snow chances increasing.
A storm system moving in Sunday will bring in a chilly rain for most of the day with very cold air funneling in behind it. Snow levels will drop to 1500 feet, bringing potentially heavy snow to even the foothills of the mountains.
Temperatures will likely stay just above freezing Sunday night, meaning a potential for flakes to mix with the rain in the valley, but accumulation won't be likely.
Monday will be an even colder day with another dose of moisture moving in.
Right now, forecast models show temperatures topping out in the upper 30s to low 40s. That means there will be a better chance of a rain/snow mix, if not all snow, at some point during the day.
But it will be tough for any snow to stick because the ground will be too warm and temperatures not quite cold enough.
Temps will likely fall below freezing Monday night, at which point most of the moisture will be cut off, limiting any accumulation.
Tuesday and Wednesday continue to stay very cold with highs struggling to get out of the upper 30s and lows around 29° to 33°.
It's not likely we'll see any snow those days as it looks to be too dry.
Bottom line: You're going to need to bundle up starting Sunday and it's looking more and more likely that we'll see a few flakes fly. But it's not looking likely that we will see snow stick to the ground just yet. There's still time for things to change and the KOIN 6 weather team will continue to update you as we get closer in.

Heartless thief abandoned his dead SON after botched attempt to steal electric cable
A MAN whose son was electrocuted as the pair tried to steal overhead cable has gone on the run after being convicted of manslaughter.
Shaun Stewart, 52, fled the scene after his 29 year-old son Brent Shaun Campbell suffered a lethal 11,000 volt shock during the botched attempt to steal the cable.
The court heard that after his son was electrocuted, Stewart left the body behind and went home alone, before telling his wife he could not remember what had happened.
Jurors took less than two hours to unanimously convict Stewart of the offence in his absence, after he fled from court on day seven of his trial.
He was sentenced to five years behind bars for causing his son's manslaughter and was given three years - to run concurrently with the five-year-sentence - for attempted theft at Sheffield Crown Court, South Yorkshire, yesterday.
A warrant has been issued for his arrest.
During the trial, the court heard how on March 26, 2012, the pair travelled to Tyers Hall Pumping Station - a Northern Power Grid circuit breaker near Barnsley which provides electricity to 3,000 customers in the area - with the intention to steal what they believed was expensive copper cable.
This was a particularly reprehensible form of conduct which had the effect of killing a young man. There is a clear and obvious risk caused to others by stealing from the national grid
A jury was told it later transpired that the cable they tried to steal was actually made of aluminium, which is worth considerably less.
To facilitate the theft, the pair sawed down a pole which supported three overhead cables so that the power would short-circuit and be safe to touch. But they did not realise that lines are automatically energised three minutes after a short-circuit occurs.
As a result of the cable being re-energised, ex-soldier Mr Campbell suffered a fatal electric shock and Stewart suffered third-degree burns to his leg, face, and neck.
Sentencing Stewart, Judge Julian Goose QC, said: "This was a particularly reprehensible form of conduct which had the effect of killing a young man.
"There is a clear and obvious risk caused to others by stealing from the national grid.
"I must reflect in my sentence that the life was lost of a young man who was 29 years-old."
The defendant and his son were in the process of gathering up the cable at the point it was recharged.
He added: "The community itself suffers from offences of theft of cable.
"What is not clear to this court, there will be many who needed that electricity supply for day-to-day activities but also for important services.
"This was a carefully planned offence, colluding a prior to visit to this scene and getting equipped for the offence."
Opening the case, Simon Phillips, prosecuting, said: "When a police officer attended Barnsley Hospital, shortly before 2am on Tuesday, March 27, he asked the defendant how he had got his injuries.
"[Stewart] told him that he and his son had been out together and they had seen torch lights in a field and heard a man shouting.
"All [Stewart] claimed to remember after that was coming round and not being able to find his son."
Shortly afterwards, Stewart was arrested for theft.
The court heard a PC, who had seen the large blue flash when the cables tripped from two miles away, was called to the pumping station following reports from Northern Power Grid employees that a body had been discovered in a field, 40 metres from where an attempted theft had taken place.
When the area was confirmed to be safe at 3.02am, Mr Campbell was found and pronounced dead at the scene.
Mr Phillips said: "The defendant was interviewed under police caution 41 hours after he had received the electric shock.
"He said his previous account had been a lie as he had not realised his son was dead and did not want to get him in trouble."
Mr Phillips added: "The fact Brent Campbell agreed to go along with the enterprise is not a defence for Shaun Stewart. If both men involved and one of them is killed, the law says the survivor will be responsible for the manslaughter."
The court heard that since the 1970s, Stewart, of Barnsley, South Yorks., had appeared before the courts 26 times in relation to 82 offences, mostly for dishonesty.
In 2002 Stewart was jailed for 66 months for selling class A drugs crack-cocaine and heroin.
In 2006 he was sentenced to 10 months in prison for firearms offences. In 2011 he was fined in magistrates for selling class B drugs.

text: OK...was watching my hometown team play tonight. They received the kickoff in the first half. They only had 7 offensive plays in the first quarter. The score? 56-0 in their favor. Wow. The extra play was the one 2nd down they had during that period. The opening kickoff was returned for a TD. Every 2 point conversion worked (I didn't count those as "offensive" plays). JV enters the game at that point and team goes on to win 84-6.

Emigrant tax plan is a 'stunt', 'unworkable' and 'unfair', say TDs
A plan by Jobs Minister Mary Mitchell O'Connor for a special tax deal to encourage emigrants to return home has been attacked as a "stunt" and "unworkable".
Ms Mitchell O'Connor is proposing to offer a lower 30pc tax rate to highly skilled workers to lure them home.
But the plan has come under fire from a series of opposition TDs. Fianna Fáil public expenditure spokesman Dara Calleary said he had "grave concerns", adding that further details of what was envisaged must be released. He pointed out that a lot of Irish people did not emigrate and while "we do need to bring people back", the tax system must be "fair".
Fianna Fáil jobs spokesman Niall Collins described Ms Mitchell O'Connor's proposal as a "stunt" and claimed it was a "rehashed kite-flying exercise". He said her predecessor Richard Bruton made similar proposals in the past.
Mr Collins blamed a lack of affordable housing and "spiralling" insurance, childcare and transport costs for emigrants being slow to return.
Labour TD Alan Kelly branded the proposal "a crazy policy" that would "create discrimination" where people doing similar jobs would be charged at different tax rates. He added: "It's unworkable and it's unfair."
Sinn Féin TD Caoimhghín O Caoláin said his reaction "is one of some scepticism" and that his party would "take a very different approach".
Meanwhile, Ms Mitchell O'Connor's press adviser - former TV3 anchor Alan Cantwell - received a backlash at yesterday's weekly adviser meeting in Government Buildings.
Mr Cantwell was told by Taoiseach Enda Kenny's officials that the story was "unhelpful", particularly with the Budget just two weeks away.
Tax measures to be introduced in the Budget have yet to be decided upon by Cabinet.
Under the minister's proposal, the lower tax rate would be aimed at those working in medicine, IT and finance sectors who earn in excess of €75,000.
The scheme would also apply to some entrepreneurs. It would remain in place for a set period - expected to be five years.
Tax incentives for graduates who purchase company shares as part of their transfer home would be included. The move is in response to complaints from workers living overseas that the marginal tax rate of just under 50pc is putting them off from returning home.
Ms Mitchell O'Connor's spokesman last night responded to the criticism, saying there was a clear Programme for Government ambition to facilitate the return of at least 70,000 emigrants.
He said it would include efforts to improve access to housing and increase school places. He said there was also a commitment to make the personal tax system "more competitive".
But he added: "Until the Budget is announced, it is not possible to provide details on what it may contain."

A couple of weeks ago I got a call from a friend whose brother was going to take a small boat from Miami to Bimini Island. He did not have an EPIRB and I was asked if we rented them. Since I don't rent EPIRB's I offered to loan my own PLB (Personal Locator Beacon), something I normally don't do but it seemed right.
To make a long story short (here is the long story) the boat sank and the two occupants found themselves in the water. The PLB did its job and got the Coast Guard on site to make a helicopter rescue and the pair are now back on dry land enjoying the Ft. Lauderdale boat show.
We all learned from this disaster. The NOAA web site allowed me to change all the registration information when the PLB left my shop so the emergency calls went to the right people, not mine. The change was simple and only took a minute, registering your beacon online is the way to go. I also learned to be a bit more careful when loaning equipment and provide the proper accessories for the application. My beacon lives in my Camelback for bike riding. I cut the lanyard short and don't have the flotation pouch installed (and hope I never need it when bike riding) just to make it a bit lighter and not get tangled up in everything.
Teaching the prospective user the proper operation is also importing. While I provided a demonstration I did not make the extra step to force the user to demonstrate his knowledge. We all learn differently, some by watching, some by reading and others by doing. I allowed for watching but not reading or doing.
Shakespeare said "all's well that ends well" and I guess that applies here but with a little more thought the ending might have been a bit better.

To create the fantasy in the reality, the New Swan Stone Palace has achieved the ultimate. The castle itself merged with the surrounding scene and presents different appearance during the 4 seasons, just like a gem among the mountains.
It's in good shape and because of its fairy tale-like looks it is sometimes called the Cinderella Castle. It's remarkable, prominent though idyllic look on the mountain hill caused the palace to appear in movies several times, and was the inspiration for Sleeping Beauty Castle at both Disneyland Park and Hong Kong Disneyland and for the Cinderella Castles at the Magic Kingdom and Tokyo Disneyland.
Now it becomes one of the symbols of Germany and it's the most photographed building in its country. The 2 photos attached for sharing & hope you will like it.

South China Morning Post regularly hosts top notch wine events. As a regular reader of Wine Circle, you can be sure to be the first to hear about our upcoming events, and receive special offers to attend.
At the first wine tasting in our Taste the World series, more than 200 people attended a soiree featuring over 100 top South African wines from 35 vineyards at a South African wine tasting event hosted by the South African Consul General on April 22 and held at the JW Marriott Hotel, Pacific Place.
Well-known sommelier David Wong gave expert advice on the different kinds of South African wines, including Ayama Leopard Shiraz-Pinotage-Mourvedre 2010, Blaauwklippen Before & After, Boschendal Cecil John Reserve Shiraz, and Fairview The Beacon Shiraz 2008.
There was also a lucky draw for a two-night trip to Wineland near Cape Town and a copy of South Africa's bestselling wine annual "Platter's Guide".
In December 2012 we held a rare wine tasting of Bordeaux's first-growth wines of the 1996 vintage at the Miele Lounge in Causeway Bay.
The event also celebrated the launch of a new book, "Bordeaux Legends: The 1855 First Growth Wines of Haut-Brion, Lafite Rothschild, Latour, Margaux and Mouton Rothschild" by Jane Anson, the wine expert and South China Morning Post columnist.
Anson, who had flown in that evening from her home in Bordeaux, shared anecdotes from the histories of the storied chateaux and, over the course of the evening, explained why Bordeaux more than any other wine region creates such passion and obsession with wine lovers. "

Hong Kong is a city of wine lovers, and each year's social calendar is inevitably crowded with tastings and other events, of which only a few stand out as really special. The tasting last Wednesday was one such event.
The first thing that made this tasting, an evening of Bordeaux, at the Miele Lounge in Causeway Bay, so exceptional was the wine: a survey of Bordeaux's first-growth wines of the 1996 vintage.
The second was the company. This was no-run-of-the-mill wine event, but a celebration commemorating the release of a new book, Bordeaux Legends: The 1855 First Growth Wines of Haut-Brion, Lafite Rothschild, Latour, Margaux and Mouton Rothschild by Jane Anson, the wine expert and South China Morning Post columnist.
Anson had flown in that evening from her home in Bordeaux to share anecdotes from the histories of the storied chateaus, to the delight of the wine fanatics gathered, who listened, entranced, while eagerly sniffing, sipping and swishing.
That Anson is a lover of Bordeaux wines goes without saying. She says her "desert island bottle" would be a Chateau Margaux 1983, and over the course of the evening she tried to explain why Bordeaux more than any other wine region created such passion and obsession in wine lovers.
"There's something about Bordeaux that sets something off in people. It's partly the 2,000 years of history, but I think it's somehow the way that Bordeaux is set up encourages people to become obsessive. There are so many good entry points to Bordeaux; there are so many things about Bordeaux that encourage obsessive wine behaviour, in a good way."
Whatever the cause of this, Anson clearly is infected, and loving every minute of it.
Almost 600 wine lovers turned up for a feast of Bordeaux at the Rendezvous with Fine Wine, jointly hosted by SCMP, Kerry Wines and Island Shangri-La, at Island Shangri-La on 28 May 2012.
With a focus on the much heralded 2009 vintage, lauded to be the best Bordeaux growing year in history, guests had the opportunity to taste 114 fine wines from 68 renowned Châteaux and Domaines, including four 100-point scorers Châteaux Pavie, Pape Clément blanc, Smith Haut Lafitte and Vieux Châteaux Certan, plus Rauzan Ségla, Pichon Lalande, Lynch Bages, as well as some famous labels from other regions such as Pegau, Alm aviva and Solaia.
Famous wine critic and author Robert Parker was in Hong Kong in November 2011 for a two-part fine wine experience. More than 200 people came to Robert Parker's exclusive master class and guided blind tasting wine at the Aberdeen Marina Club on 9 November.
The blind tasting consisted of five brackets of two wines, with old and young vintages for each, from key regions featured in "The Wine Advocate". The wines featured include Château Lafite Rothschild, Château Haut Brion, Harlan Estate, Moss Wood, Sauternes.
Later that day for 20 lucky people there was the "Up Close and Personal Dinner with Robert Parker at the famed Restaurant Petrus at the Island Shangri-La.
Robert Parker sat at a single table with the 20 guests, discussing the current state of the wine market and current trends in investment worthy wines.
Champagne Krug served on arrival, then nine of the world's most incredible wines are to be matched with tailor-made eight-course menu from the Michelin-starred Petrus.
The wines featured were top vintages from Château Latour, Paul Jaboulet Aîné Hermitage La Chapelle, Château Cheval Blanc, Château Lafite Rothschild, Château La Mission Haut‐Brion, Château d'Yquem, Dominus, Petrus, Château de BeaucastHommage à Jacques Perrin.
The 2011 edition of "Les Fruits de La Vigne" dinner, hosted by Neal Martin and Lisa Perrotti-Brown of The Wine Advocate, at the Aberdeen Marina Club on November 10. More than 50 people attended the dinner. The dinner is Herritage Wine's annual signature wine dinner that features a combination of top wine critics, top fine wines and top chefs. The wines offered included Château de Beaucastel and Château Haut Brion.

Hanoi (VNA) – Vietnam and Singapore agreed on a host of concrete measures to bring their relationship to the next level in the time ahead during the tenth political consultation of their foreign ministries in Singapore on November 22.
Accordingly, the two sides will maintain regular exchanges of all-level delegations and meetings via channels of their Parties, States, Governments and parliaments, as well as people-to-people exchange, giving attention to the official visit to Vietnam by Prime Minster Lee Hsien Loong in 2017.
They will also join hands in materialising the outcomes of the 12 th Singapore-Vietnam Economic Connectivity Ministerial Meeting which took place in Singapore last September, focusing on the six areas of finance, information-communication, education-training, transportation, investment, trade and services.
Deputy Foreign Minister Dang Dinh Quy, who led the Vietnamese delegation to the event, appreciated Singapore retaing its position as Vietnam's leading investor and trade partner.
He suggested the countries seek new ways to obtain higher added values and support each other in development, calling on Singapore to negotiate and sign mutual recognition agreements on standards of agricultural, forestry and fishery products while encouraging Singaporean businesses to invest in such spheres as infrastructure, waste treatment and water resources management.
He also proposed the Singaporean side investing in the high-tech and food parks in Vietnam.
At the consultation, Vietnam and Singapore consented to deepen their affiliation in national defence and security and step up bilateral collaboration in the fight against terrors, pirates, human traffickers, and cyber, high-tech and money laundering crimes.
Cooperation in other realms like education, banking, tourism and employment will also receive a boost.
Chee Wee Kiong, Permanent Secretary of the Singaporean Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said Singapore pledges to constructively support Vietnam in improving its human resources quality and swiftly speed up negotiations on the bilateral labour agreement.
The two sides also exchanged views on regional and international issues of shared concern.
The heads of the two delegations to the consultation committed to making all-out efforts in order to foster solidarity and unity of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and carry forward the group's central role in security and strategic issues in the region.
They promised to maintain and promote peace, security, stability, safety and freedom of aviation and overflight in the East Sea, and call on concerned parties to exercise restraint, not use or threaten to use force, fully respect diplomatic and legal processes, handle disputes by peaceful measures in line with international law, including the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, support the full and effective implementation of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea and seek measures to accelerate pragmatic negotiations on a Code of Conduct in the East Sea.
Quy spoke highly of Singapore's consistent position on the East Sea issue, as well as the country's role and tangible contributions in its capacity as the coordinator for ASEAN-China Dialogue Relations for 2015-2018, saying these reflected the country's responsibility and constructive role to strategic security issues in the region.
The two sides noted with pleasure the close and effective cooperation between the two foreign ministries, which has significantly contributed to the Vietnam-Singapore strategic partnership.
They agreed to hold the 11 th political consultation in Vietnam in 2017.
While in Singapore, Quy paid a visit to Senior Minister of State , Prime Minister's Office , Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Transport Josephine Teo, and held talks with Permanent Secretary of the Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs Chee Wee Kiong.-VNA

Golden Parachute
|Last month I asked the question. Would the Loudon County school
system's retirement
incentive plan be just that or would it turn into a
golden parachute?
Golden parachute it is.
At their last board meeting, a majority of the members voted to continue the practice of paying approximately $165 per month toward all qualified, retiring teachers and certified personal's insurance benefits from the time they retire till age 65. Only myself and board member Lisa Russell voted no on the issue.
Last year, myself and other board members learned for the first time that the insurance payment practice was going on. Subsequent investigations could never find when or even if any previous board had actually ever voted to provide the insurance benefit. The investigation did however find that in 2005, the board had voted to provide the insurance benefit payment for only five years or till the retiree reached 65. Unfortunately, board administrators had never adhered to that policy but had continued to pay the benefit to retirees from retirement to age 65 regardless of how many years that was.
Board member, Ric Best, was on the three member policy committee recommending the insurance benefit. During the recent meeting I questioned if Mr. Best should be debating, recommending or voting on the proposal given his conflict of interest, that his wife works for the school system and will be eligible to receive the $165 retirement benefit in a couple of years. Best read a conflict of interest statement then voted for the benefit.
Like most government entities, the Loudon County school system is facing some major financial challenges. With expenditures outpacing revenues, board members continue to talk about making cuts and finding places to save money but continue to vote on spending money they just don't have.
The cost of providing the $165 insurance benefit to retirees for eight, ten or even twelve years is almost incalculable, but it will be hundreds of thousands even millions of dollars over the years.
