1970s GM Rear-View Mirrors
I have saved too many really nice '70s GM manual-adjust rear-view mirrors. NO silver loss/issues on any of them. I think that they used this same style into the very early '80s on some models. $20 each plus actual shipping cost.
The secret to not having silver issues: NEVER spray anything directly onto the mirror. Spray your rag.
Inside or outside? Inside Day / Night? Do you have any that have the rubber around the edge, and the light at the bottom of the mirror? Pictures would help.
Standard rear-view mirror(inside) that most all GM cars & trucks had in the 1970s. Manual day/night adjust. This is the rear-view mirror that every GM pro-car would have come with in the 1970s. They all have the rubber around the edge. Windshield-mounted.
4 Attachment(s)
Kurt, would this be the same type of mirror that I have in my '72 Malibu convertible? Or would it be easier for me just to get the mirror glass replaced?
Same mirrror..... different mount. These are windshield-mount.
Just Change the head. The only picture not shown was how the head mounted to the post. But the look threw the windshield looks like the tab in a slot. Idon't think you can change the mirror glass and keep the day night feature.

As if there needed to be more for Taylor Swift to get torqued up about regarding Katy Perry, here's the track she did with Calvin Harris.
Being that Calvin Harris was a highly public relationship for Taylor Swift, the fact that her ex-boyfriend and "biggest enemy" did a track together has to boil Taylor's blood just a little bit. But either way, Pharrell Williams, and Big Sean are also on the track, marking this new track from Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1. to be the most watched in regards of fall out.
Check out the teaser to the audio here:

BArT Adds Pittsfield to Charter, Raises Enrollment Cap
BArT students work in the school garden behind the school last spring. The charter school has expanded its charter to Pittsfield, which has been supplying more and more of its students.
ADAMS, Mass. — Berkshire Arts & Technology Public Charter School has been given approval to increase its enrollment and include the city of Pittsfield in its charter.
The move will help shorten a waitlist while putting the school on stronger economic footing, according to Executive Director Julia Bowen. The school applied for state approval in August and received it on Tuesday.
The enrollment cap on the Grades 6-through-12 school will increase from 308 to 363, which should to reduce a waiting list and even out enrollment.
Last year some 40 students who applied were not able to attend because of the enrollment cap. While the increase of 55 students would seem to eliminate that, Bowen said there are 30 percent more applicants this year than last.
"We had to limit our enrollment in sixth grade," Bowen said, because once the school accepts a student, he or she can continue into the upper grades. "We want to be able to smooth out the enrollment."
The increased number of students will not likely require the school to hire more teachers but it will increase class sizes. Currently classes are about 12 to 15 students but the additional children will require more councilors and paraprofessionals.
More students also means more money and the school will be looking to refinance its capital debt for a better interest rate and possibly a "modest" expansion. Bowen said the school currently has one room that serves as the gymnasium, cafeteria and auditorium and that school officials would like to build separate areas for those uses. The building had been an inn and restaurant before being transformed into offices and then the school.
"I'm not thinking about more kids, it is how we better serve the ones we have," Bowen said of the school's future growth.
The second part of the state approval was the expansion into Pittsfield. Bowen said the school has been seeing a decrease in the number of Northern Berkshire students while the number of Pittsfield students has increased. Enrollment into the school is by lottery and students from chartered areas have first dibs. Nearly half of waitlist last year was from Pittsfield, while 35 percent of enrolled students were from Pittsfield.
"We've been seeing more and more Pittsfield students," Bowen said, adding that half of the applications for next year are also from Pittsfield.
Including Pittsfield will give those students an equal chance at getting into the school. But the move will not exclude a higher number of Northern Berkshire students because of the enrollment increase, she said.
"In effect, it won't have a tremendous impact on Pittsfield or us," Bowen said. "It's a vote of confidence in our program."
The lengthy application included the argument that the program was good enough to expand, she said, so expanding is more of a compliment. If a municipality contributed more than 20 percent of the population to a charter school, the district must apply to expand it.
Pittsfield becomes the 10th municipality to be charted into the school — the others being Adams, Cheshire, Clarksburg, Florida, Hancock, Lanesborough, North Adams, Savoy and Williamstown.
The charter renewal is in effect for the next school year and is good for five years.

Moreno Valley Homes for Sale - Singles: Why We're Buying Now
Moreno Valley Homes for Sale -Singles: Why We're Buying Now
Daily Real Estate News | Thursday, August 21, 2014Seventy-five percent of single home owners ages 25 to 50 say home ownership is important to them, according to a new Century 21 survey.
These are the top three reasons single home owners say they decided to buy: They viewed home ownership as an investment in their financial future; they were tired of paying rent; and they thought it was the right time to purchase a home.
"We are in the midst of a shift in the home-buying population," says Rick Davidson, president and chief executive officer of Century 21 Real Estate LLC. "This survey shows that home ownership is a major life decision for singles and that it is just as important a part of the American Dream for them as it is for married couples."
Nearly one-third of all real estate purchases in 2013 were made by single home buyers, according to data from the National Association of REALTORS®.
But single home buyers say it wasn't easy to achieve home ownership because many were intimidated by the home-buying process, and they had to make several sacrifices in order to buy a home.
Nearly two-thirds of single home owners say they overcame a roadblock to buy their home. The most intimidating parts of the home-buying process, they say, included making an offer and negotiating a price (38%); obtaining a mortgage (36%); moving (31%); closing (30%); and searching for and locating a home (25%).
Singles also say they had to make several lifestyle sacrifices: 60 percent say they had to dine out less to purchase a home, and half say they had to cut back on entertainment. Fifty-one percent say they had to spend less on vacations.
What were their most important considerations in buying a home? Single home owners rated space and square footage (59%); the yard (57%); and proximity to work or school (47%) as the most important criteria in their house hunt, according to the Century 21 survey. Good cell service and proximity to public transportation tended to be more important to single home owners 25 to 35 years old than those 36 to 50 years old.
The younger set was also more likely to say they searched for real estate on their mobile devices.

Lending standards loosen up
What do you think about this? Let me know at 951-259-0764 or firstname.lastname@example.com
#realestate #morenovalley #homesforsale
Getting a mortgage these days is obviously not as easy as it was during the housing boom, when pretty much anyone could get a loan.
But after years of tightening, it seems like the standards are loosening up a bit.
"We are seeing underwriters have a little more flexibility with some common-sense issues," Grabel says. "That's not a suggestion we are going back to the old days."
Standards have loosened mostly for larger loans, or jumbo loans, because they are not the types of loans that get sold to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The institutions have their own guidelines and lenders must follow them if they want to sell the loans after they issue them.
"Mel Watt reversed course for the first time in many years to say we have to loosen the current lending standards," Hsieh says.
Some lenders also are allowing lower credit scores on FHA loans. Many lenders required borrowers to have a credit score of at least 640 for an FHA loan.

Still gotta be able to fog a mirrorMel Watt, the new head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, recently said his office will change some of the guidelines to allow lending to borrowers with slightly lower credit scores. The FHFA oversees Fannie and Freddie.

Moreno Valley Homes for Sale - Affordability Approaches Pre-2004 Norm as Prices Firm
Call me and let's talk about what this might mean for you! 951-259-0764
By Paul Emrath on • (1)Housing affordability dipped slightly in the second quarter of 2014 as several markets saw a firming of home prices, according to the NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Opportunity Index (HOI). Nationwide, the second quarter HOI was 62.6—i.e., 62.6 percent of new and existing homes sold during the quarter were affordable to a family earning the U.S. median income of $63,900—down about three percentage points from the first quarter reading of 65.5.
The latest readings reflect a slow but steady march toward historically normal appreciation and interest rates, producing an HOI typical of the period before the mid-2000s boom. In the second quarter of 2014, the average mortgage interest rate declined to 4.44 percent (from 4.57 in the first quarter), while the national median home price increased from $195,000 to $214,000. (The HOI, of course, uses the full range of home sale prices, not just the median.)
Among individual metros, Youngstown-Warren-Boardman, Ohio-Pa. claimed the title of the nation's most affordable major housing market, as 90.4 percent of all new and existing homes sold in this year's second quarter were affordable to a family earning the area's median income of $52,700. Cumberland, Md.-W.Va. was the most affordable smaller market, with 97.2 percent of homes sold affordable to a family earning the area median income of $54,100.
Other major markets at the top of the affordability chart were Indianapolis-Carmel, Ind.; Syracuse, N.Y.; Harrisburg-Carlisle, Pa.; and Scranton-Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Smaller markets joining Cumberland at the top of the affordability chart were Kokomo, Ind.; Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, Iowa-Ill.; Battle Creek, Mich.; and Lima, Ohio.
For a seventh consecutive quarter, San Francisco-San Mateo-Redwood City, Calif. was the nation's least affordable major market, with only 11.1 percent of homes sold in the second quarter affordable to a family earning the area's median income of $100,400. Other major metros at the bottom of the affordability chart were Santa Ana-Anaheim-Irvine, Calif.; Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale, Calif.; San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif.; and New York-White Plains-Wayne, N.Y.-N.J.
All five of the nation's least affordable small housing markets were located in California: Santa Cruz-Watsonville, Napa, Salinas, Santa Rosa-Petaluma, and San Luis Obispo-Paso Robles.

MORENO VALLEY HOMES FOR SALE: Dwindling Competition for Home Buyers?
Daily Real Estate News | Tuesday, August 19, 2014
All-cash sales in real estate purchases dropped from 42 percent in the first quarter to 37.9 percent in the second quarter of this year, according to RealtyTrac's second-quarter 2014 U.S. Institutional Investor & Cash Sales Report. Still, cash sales remain above year-ago levels, when they were at 35.7 percent.
The share of sales from institutional investors — those who purchase at least 10 properties in a calendar year — also dropped in the second quarter to 4.7 percent. That marks the lowest level since the first quarter of 2012, when institutional investors represented 4.6 percent of all sales, RealtyTrac reports.
"The flurry of purchases by institutional investors and other cash buyers that kicked off two years ago when U.S. home prices hit bottom is finally showing signs of subsiding," says Daren Blomquist, vice president of RealtyTrac. "Over the past 10 quarters, cash sales have accounted for 39 percent of all home sales on average, and institutional investor purchases have accounted for 5.3 percent of all home sales on average. Prior to that, from 2001 to 2011, the average quarterly cash share was 30 percent, and the average quarterly institutional investor share was 2.6 percent. This is a classic good news/bad news scenario for the housing market."
The good news is that having fewer cash buyers in the market should "help loosen up inventory of homes for sale and reduce competitive bidding, giving first-time home buyers and other non-cash buyers more opportunities," Blomquist says. "The bad news is that some of those first-time home buyers and other non-cash buyers may already be priced out of the market thanks to the rapid run-up in home prices over the past two years in many areas."
In the second quarter, cash sales accounted for 67 percent of purchases of homes selling for $100,000 or less, according to RealtyTrac.

Moreno Valley Homes for Sale and 6 Things NOT To Do
6 Things NOT To Do When Buying for the First TimeFrom the mortgage application to final closing, there are so many steps to the real estate buying process that it can be easy to make mistakes or errors. Because I work with dozens of first-time homebuyers and the Moreno Valley real estate market I want to be sure that my future clients understand the process as well as some of the most common mistakes the first time homebuyers make. It can be genuinely heartbreaking to get to the closing table and realize that the buyers made some financial error a week or two prior which has now caused the real estate deal to fall apart. This can be devastating and emotionally heartbreaking.
Here are six things not to do during the home buying process.
#1 – Applying for a mortgage and then apply for other loans and lines of credit.Once you apply for a mortgage you should not try to take out any more credit or loans until the deal closes. Any major financial moves after you have been approved for a home loan can seriously affect your mortgage rate or even the ability to get the loan at all. It can be very easy for first-time home buyers to get wrapped up in owning a new home. They often times go out and start applying for credit at furniture stores or even max out their credit cards on new appliances and furnishings. The problem with this is that by the time final financing goes through you may have a different credit score affecting your interest rate or you may not even be able to afford the amount that you originally started with. It's best to hold off on all major financing decisions until after you own the home.
#2 – Quitting your job or losing it all together.Just as with financing, any type of income status change can drastically affect your ability to afford a home. If you lose your job, quit your job or change major status can negatively affect your ability to get a loan or your interest rate. However, if you simply are promoted within the same industry and the same company this should not affect your interest rate. Plus, if you now are earning more money this could actually lower your interest rate due to the fact that you may be able to make a higher down payment.
#3 – Buying anything major, even if not on credit.As I said before, applying for any other loans or credit is not a good idea but even if you have the cash it's not wise to make large purchases before your transaction has closed. Even if you have $10,000 in the bank but during the time that you apply for a home loan and the closing you use that money to purchase a vehicle, the bank now sees that you have $10,000 less in assets and this may negatively affect your interest rate. You probably will not lose the home loan altogether but it could affect how much you pay at closing and how much your interest rate is over time.
#4 – Not understanding property taxes, homeowners insurance and the general costs of owning a home.Too often many home buyers don't understand that it's more than simply a mortgage payment when you become a homeowner. Not only will your monthly payment include your principal mortgage interest you may also include property tax and homeowners insurance in that monthly payment. Many first-time buyers find that this is a very easy way to keep everything in one payment. However, this could add several hundred dollars to your monthly payment so you'll need to consider that when budgeting. Plus, being a homeowner means you can no longer call your landlord if an appliance breaks or your roof springs a leak. Pay close attention to the inspector and get a good sense of what things will cost in the future and how much life each appliance may have left. It's best to set up a reserve account so that you have some money set aside when a major appliance breaks down or you need to replace the roof, siding, or other major household material.
#5 – Letting your emotions get the best of you.Too many first-time homebuyers let their emotions get in the way of logically purchasing a home. Yes, it can be very exciting to purchase a home and set it up the way you really want it, but, don't let those emotions get in the way of logically buying the right home. Many first-time buyers want to make their home their own too fast and end up taking on more than they can handle. Buyers assume that a home improvement will pay for itself by increasing the home's value but that's not always the case. Buyers need to exhibit patience and make small changes over time to really build the home that they love.
#6 – Let bills and loan payments lapse.Just as with finance, credit and job change, you don't want to make sure that you let any of your bills, especially loans and credit cards, fall behind on the payment. This again can negatively affect your interest rate and perhaps your loan program in general. Keep up with all of your bills, pay on time, and you'll be glad you did when there are no hiccups or problems at closing.
I want all of my buyers to be excited, happy and prepared when it comes to purchasing and owning a home. If you're ready to get started please feel free to give me a call 951-259-0764
If you're not sure where to start I would be happy to get you set up with the lender in the area and offer tips and suggestions to get started on the home buying process.

Picked this up specifically to make the breakfast to-go option much easier in our household since my kids start school at 7 am and sometimes they are not hungry until mid-morning. So far I've made the breakfast cookie (subbed cooked steel cut oats for the cooked quiona) and made the blueberry maple oatmeal muffins (subbed 1 cup of fresh blueberries for the dried blueberries) and they are a hit. I have single portion servings wrapped in plastic then bagged them all in ziplock bags, all stored in the freezer. I defrost whatever I need the night before and stuff them in their lunches in the morning. Will try cream scones (plan to sub in some wheat germ for the flour) and also the oat jacks next.
Really solid recipes thus far and nutritious compared to the normal cookie/muffin. Highly recommend!

The FMAM conference is July 29th – 31st at Tan-Tar-A with a special Division of Fire Safety class called Vision 20/20 on Sunday the 28th. The topic for the 20/20 class is Performance Measurement and Evaluation of community programs. For the FMAM conference, topics will include alarm and sprinkler systems and there will be a roundtable discussion on the morning of the 31st addressing school safety at the FMAM conference. All these courses offer CEU's for Inspector recertification.
Several house bills went through the legislative session.
HB 28 – allows counties to enact burn bans if drought conditions exist and upon notification by the State Fire Marshal.
HB 336 and HB 307 contain most of the same provisions – but the highlights are allowing political activity by first responders, allowing an increase of filing fees for board elections (up to $50), and state employees in first class counties may run for open fire district board positions.
HB 533 – contains a provision which allows a fire chief who has a CCW endorsement and upon approval of his/her board to carry a concealed weapon while performing his/her duties.
All these provisions are contingent upon them being signed by the Governor and as of right now, none have yet to be signed. The effective date of the law, if signed, will be August 28th, 2013.
68% of all fire departments in the state have completed their annual registration through the Division. All departments are required to register annually. Anyone with questions can contact the Division.
No correspondence was received.

Woe is me: A post from Princess Daisy Thistlechaser
I had a more extensive appointment with a different vet at a different clinic on the Thursday of that same week. I had a more thorough exam. The vet agreed that I was underweight. She tried to look in my mouth and I screamed at her. I didn't mean too. It's just that my mouth was really hurting. The technician took me into a different room where they stole some blood and took pictures of my mouth. The vet who examined me wanted the pictures to show to another vet who does the dental surgeries. I was given more fluids and an extended-release shot for pain control.
My lab work came back on that Saturday (December 17). There was nothing unusual there. The dental vet had looked at the pictures of my mouth and said that some of my teeth needed to be removed. She said there was a possibility that all of my teeth would have to go, but she couldn't determine that until she actually got into my mouth. My dental surgery was scheduled for January 3. Mom would drop me off at the office on the evening of January 2.
I had two more visits at my regular vet's office for fluids and B-12 shots. One was on the Friday before Christmas and the other was on the Friday before New Year's.
My dental surgery didn't start until the afternoon of Jan. 3. I did fine, but because it was so late in the day it was decided that I would stay overnight. When the vet spoke with my mom, she told her that I had all of my teeth removed except for my two bottom fangs. Some of the teeth broke off and the vet had to cut the roots out. So I also had stitches in my mouth!!!! Let me tell you kitties, stitches in your mouth sucks!!! I had more fluids and was given a warm blanket and I slept.
Mom picked me up after she got of work the next day. I meowed all the way home! She made a place for me in the spare room, but I hated it. She thought it would be good for me to have a place to stay where the other cats wouldn't bother me. I was so miserable being by myself that I convinced mom to let me out the next day.
I had a follow-up visit at the clinic on Saturday. I had lost weight and now weigh just under 6 lbs. The vet looked in my mouth and said everything was healing nicely. She even found a little food stuck under my upper lip. She rinsed that out for me. I was given more fluids, another B-12 shot, another shot of the long lasting pain meds, and 1/4 of an appetite stimulant tablet. The vet told mom to make sure I stayed on the antibiotic. I perked up quite a bit and yesterday I was more social. I've been grooming, drinking water on my own, and I'm more interested in food.
I'm not out of the woods yet though. The struggle is to get some weight back on. I don't like canned food, so that makes it harder for me to eat. My mouth hurt so much for so long that I'm a little put off by food. But I'm trying to eat so I will feel better.
And now a brief update on mom. Katie Isabella wanted to know how mom was doing since her surgery. Mom is healing up nicely. She had a brief setback by going back to work too soon. She ended up with an infection in one of the incisions. She ended up on another round of Clyndimicin and a round of Bactrim. She had to take both for two weeks. She also rolled over in bed and caught her bad arm beneath herself. She pulled out some of her stitches!!! She left a trail of blood drops from her bed to the bathroom sink! That happened the night that she felt so bad (before she went back to the doctor).
Mom's incisions look so much better now. She is doing a little more with her right hand, and she even did a little knitting over the weekend. She still can't lift much. The doctor said it will be 3-6 months before she has full strength back.

ask you mom to look into kitten chow because of the calorie content; until you're back on track with wanting to eat regularly again
hugs from dai$y =^..*= ♥♥♥
Oh dear, purrs to you both from all of us. We're glad your dental went good but you do need to eat sweet one.ReplyDelete
What an ordeal! I'm glad you are on the mend (and your human too!), and am sending purrs your way.ReplyDelete
OH sweet GIRL! What you and your mom have been through. OH my gosh. Thank goodness both of you are on the upswing again. I like that idea of kitten food for the calories. I hope you can and will eat pate kitty food. Will you take cat milk too as a supplement? Thank you for telling me about your momma! I was really worried about her. Catching her arm under as she turned totally made mom cringe. Please the both of you keep us up on how you are? XXXReplyDelete

Etymology section decimated – why?[edit]
In this edit the extensive etymology section was decimated without any explanation. Could this be explained? __meco 16:28, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
- Hi, I only just noticed this comment - you'd be betetr off leaving me a message on my talk page. The explanation is only that I was attempting to simplify the information and to make clear that the word is a combination of dey and -ery, which was rather obscured in the previous version. Interested readers can then follow the links to those two pages to see further etymology for the respective components. Widsith 14:35, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

An art student is planning to lose his virginity during a live performance later this year. Clayton David Pettet is a 19-year-old from Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design. He has officially announced the venue that will be hosting this art exhibit. It will happen on April 2, 2014 at The Orange Dot in London.
Clayton got a lot of attention for previously outlining his plan to have intercourse with an anonymous male partner in front an art gallery crowd. The project is entitled 'Art School Stole My Virginity' and it was inspired by his experience as a 16-year-old student who questioned the cultural significance of virginity. Pettet wrote "My piece isn't a statement as much as it is a question. The whole aspect of Virginity was incredibly emotional for me and has been ever since."

Just because the environment isn't one of Stephen Harper's top five priorities doesn't mean it's not important. Nor does it mean he can't benefit from modest expectations by surpassing them.
Last Thursday's Ottawa tribute dinner to Brian Mulroney was a timely reminder that a Conservative leader can make a difference on the environment.
Mulroney was selected as Canada's greenest-ever prime minister by a jury organized by Corporate Knights magazine, a left-of-centre advocate of responsible business behaviour, for an environmental legacy that includes the 1987 Montreal Protocol on ozone depletion, the 1991 acid-rain accord and championing the 1992 Rio agreements on climate change and bio-diversity.
Mulroney noted in his remarks that he had raised acid rain with Ronald Reagan in his first White House meeting while still leader of the opposition in 1984. At the time, Reagan's position was that acid rain was caused by trees.
In an interesting echo, one little noticed when Harper first met George W. Bush in Cancun last month, the prime minister raised climate change with the U.S. president. Nor did the public widely notice, though environmental activists did, that climate change was mentioned in this month's Throne Speech.
This is an acknowledgement that global warming, as Mulroney declared, is the most urgent and compelling environmental challenge facing the world today.
The question for Harper, as he develops an environmental policy to be unveiled in the fall, is what to do about it. His answer will shape his own environmental legacy and determine whether, a generation from now, there is a tribute dinner in his honour.
The Kyoto protocol sets a target for Canada reducing its greenhouse gas emissions to six per cent below 1990 levels by the period 2008-2012. The problem is, our emissions have increased by 24 per cent, putting Canada 30 per cent above its objective. The Kyoto target, as Environment Minister Rona Ambrose has acknowledged, is probably unattainable.
The problem in moving away from Kyoto is that it's hugely popular with voters of all political affiliations, especially in Quebec. Canadians don't generally understand the Kyoto process, but they do understand what it's supposed to achieve - a reversal of global warming.
But that's the point. Kyoto is a process, not a solution. If Harper is moving away from the process, that doesn't mean a failure to engage on climate change. It does mean a new and different conversation.
The country's leading scientific authorities on climate change get it. In an open letter to Harper last week, 90 scientists and stakeholders sounded the alarm on global warming. In their one-page covering letter, they referred repeatedly to climate and climate change. They didn't mention Kyoto even once.
This means the scientific community accepts that Kyoto is a dead letter with this government, if only because its targets are unattainable. It doesn't mean they're prepared to accept a policy of inaction or indifference. If Harper is talking about a made-in-Canada solution, they are calling for "an effective national strategy" to deal with climate change.
They ominously noted "Arctic temperatures have risen at almost twice the rate of those in the rest of the world." The polar ice cap is melting, and the Northwest Passage might be open water within 15 years, which goes directly to the issue of Canadian Arctic sovereignty. A treasure lode of oil and gas lies beneath the ice, raising huge issues of sustainable development.
What to do about global warming? From his own experience, Mulroney suggested staking out the high ground of results, reduction of emissions, before lecturing the Americans on their record, which is only half as bad as ours. Then, he asserted there is no solution without "the constructive engagement" of the U.S., and commitment to lowering greenhouse gas emissions by the emerging economies of China and India. Finally, Mulroney noted the essential participation of private industry. Companies such as Abitibi in forest products and Alcan in metals have met and exceeded their Kyoto targets years ahead of schedule.
It was a Conservative prime minister, John Diefenbaker, who first proclaimed a "northern vision" half a century ago. Mulroney last week pointedly called for a new northern vision. There is a straight line of policy continuity linking three generations of Conservative prime ministers.
As Mulroney spoke of the melting polar ice cap, and the challenges to Canada's Arctic sovereignty, Harper was sitting at the head table, taking notes.

Closing costs dropped 7.1 percent year-over-year, falling from $1,989 in 2014 to $1,847 in 2015, according to a newly released Bankrate.com survey. The Bankrate analysis requested Good Faith Estimates from up to 10 lenders in large cities for a hypothetical $200,000 mortgage for a single-family home assuming a 20 percent down payment.
While average origination fees were down about 22 percent in this year's survey, average third-party fees rose nearly 22 percent.
However, industry leaders are warning that mortgage lending and its costs will likely rise, notably on title insurance. We agree and suggest you seek today's buying opportunities!

Facebook's COO leaves work @ 5:30 & so should you
This is big.
Sheryl Sandberg – No. 2 @ Facebook and Forbes' 5th most powerful woman in the world – has come clean about leaving work every day at 5:30 p.m. so she can go home and have dinner with her two young kids.
It shouldn't be considered an act of bravery for a mom to publicly discuss going home at a reasonable hour to eat with her family, especially since research shows eating dinner with your kids produces healthier and happier children who perform better as students. But moms who don't put in 10- and 12-hour work days face water-cooler judgment all the time.
It doesn't matter that we're often the first ones in the office or the last ones to log-off of emails and the system from home at night. It doesn't matter that it should be more important to work smarter, not longer. There's always a lingering resentment among many co-workers and an oppressive sense of guilt shared by working moms.
Can a Harvard-educated, rich, female Chief Operating Officer break the ice and start an honest conversation about job flexibility, not just for moms, but for dads and all workers, whether they have children or not?
When did we start letting corporate honchos convince us that ending the workday before 7 or 8 p.m. is a source of shame and a sign of laziness?
I doubt Sandberg, 42, has to hustle home to actually make dinner like the rest of us working schmucks. Raised in North Miami Beach and married to SurveyMonkey CEO David Goldberg, she reportedly earns a base salary of $300,000, plus $30.5 million in FB shares. She's on the boards of Walt Disney Co. and Starbucks, which comes with its own $280,000 salary.
Still, it's refreshing to finally hear someone talk unapologetically about the time clock issue.
Sandberg outs herself in a video clip on MAKERS.com, a new initiative by AOL that showcases compelling stories from trailblazing women. She admits she has stuck to her 5:30 p.m. hard stop for work since she was a VP at Google and had her first child in 2005. But it's only recently that she's felt secure enough to talk about her exit time publicly.
"I walk out of this office every day at 5:30 so I'm home for dinner with my kids at 6:00, and interestingly, I've been doing that since I had kids," Sandberg says in the video. "I did that when I was at Google, I did that here, and I would say it's not until the last year, two years that I'm brave enough to talk about it publicly. Now I certainly wouldn't lie, but I wasn't running around giving speeches on it."
To make up for ducking out at 5:30 p.m., Sandberg says she would send emails to colleagues late at night and early in the morning as proof that she was still giving her all to work.
"I was showing everyone I worked for that I worked just as hard. I was getting up earlier to make sure they saw my emails at 5:30, staying up later to make sure they saw my emails late. But now I'm much more confident in where I am and so I'm able to say, 'Hey! I am leaving work at 5:30.' And I say it very publicly, both internally and externally."
I'm no Sheryl Sandberg, but I am one of the "lucky" ones. As a writer, I have a semi-flexible schedule. I typically leave the office at 3:30 or 4 p.m. to pick up my kids from school. I'll head home and get them started on their homework or run errands for those never-ending last-minute "need this for school" demands. Once home, I spend an hour or two on e-mail. Then, after dinner, I'll often take care of pressing work projects, sometimes as late as 1 a.m.
If you add it all up, I typically work far more than 8 hours a day. It can be utterly exhausting at times, but it's worth it for me to have that time with my kids. And it should be worth it to society, too, because theoretically I'm keeping my tweeners from breaking into houses, getting pregnant and wreaking other kinds of havoc on the fabric of our community.
But leaving work at a reasonable hour shouldn't only be my right as a mom. I leave because I have kids; others should have the right to check out after a full day of work because they have a life.

Sega shows some holiday cheer for the 3DS

More On:
Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games
Sonic Generations
While the 3DS is still plagued by some...questionable hardware issues, its software drought is finally over. Sega is contributing 4 major titles over the next few months. November 15th will see the arrival of the new
game (Shinobi's back!), picking up a series that has been hibernating for a while.
will be getting a 3DS re-working on January 10th, and then of course there are two Sonic games.
I'm already excited for
Sonic Generations 3DS
as it's a completely different game than its console big brothers, but...
Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games
? The Mario Sonic Olympics thing has always mystified me. It's such a weird, out-of-character mashup of competitive sports and classic game mascots, and I have no idea why it sells so well. Maybe it got swept up in the casual sports game fad on the Wii, but that's all over now and I think the series has outstayed its welcome.
I care less and less every time a new one is announced, much like the annual Mario Party churn-outs that got worse and worse every year. It's time for Mario and Sonic to stop flirting, as it were, over Olympic competitions and just star in that massive crossover adventure game that everyone actually wants. Lets get these guys back into videogame land where they belong, without skis or torches or hundred-meter dashes where they somehow stand an equal chance of winning.

This publication has been created in the form of a magazine to mark the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Frankfurt art gallery Schirn. To take the format into account, 30 subjects were selected eclectically and covered in individual chapters. The focus is directed towards the past as well as towards the future of the exhibition venue. The publication dispenses with own texts but rather supplements the large amount of images with commentaries from the press and social media. Furthermore, five differently designed covers represent various aspects of the art gallery.

The decision to walk away from something that meant everything to me and pretty much defined my existence had not been easy, but I felt an irresistible pull to pursue my childhood goal of becoming a pro-wrestler, if only for one match. At thirty-three, with a lot of grappling-based mileage, time was running out before my body completely fell to pieces. In the interests of honesty, I hadn't gone completely cold turkey with jiu-jitsu, I was still training and teaching no-gi.
While learning the craft of pro-wrestling – I seemed to pick up the basics relatively quickly, my legit grappling background paid dividends. The concept of bumping was essentially just break-falling, something that came naturally after years of cats dumping me on my head. I have always been highly averse to pain, and often prone to hyperbole in regard to the extent I was actually suffering, especially when it came to accidents on the mats, so the idea of 'selling' being beaten up came quite naturally.
I had not been attempting to reinvent the wheel, sticking to what I knew, I immediately set about amending my jiu-jitsu to something that could be 'worked' within the confines of a pro-wrestling match, while, looking aesthetically pleasing for those watching. It has been a lot of fun and creatively satisfying applying my own skill-set to this medium, once you get over the fact that some of the stuff that looks awesome is in-fact completely redundant when working with an unwilling partner.
When it came to grappling, or life really, I had not been endowed with a modicum of athleticism, without that to bring to the table, I was immediately precluded from busting out any 450 splashes or top rope moonsaults. I endeavoured to avoid anything risky that was likely to cause, not only immediate pain, but lasting injury. Sadly, this idea was not foolproof. I took a DDT in a way that appeared I was craving a spinal injury. Rather than reacting the way I was taught, I instead decided on driving my neck directly into the mat. It made a pretty gross crunching sound that would have made Jake the Snake wince. I visualised my vertebrae being driven into each other at breakneck speed, fortunately there didn't seem to be any serious damage, well, if you discount perpetual soreness.
I created a character, Francis Darwin. His genesis came from my Grandfather, a bodybuilder-cum-pro-wrestler who used the alias 'Young Atlas' while wrestling on shows during the late 1940s and 1950s. I wanted to pay homage to him, but, truth be told, I am neither young or indeed strong enough to hold up the sky, as the Greek myth of Atlas foretold, so I settled on Francis, his Christian name. 'The evolution of submission wrestling' had a nice ring to it, so Darwin it was. Of course, I decided upon this moniker prior to discovering that Charles Darwin himself had actually had a son named Francis, a respected botanist in his own right. In light of this information, Francis Darwin the wrestler won't be climbing to the pinnacle of Google search any time soon.
Playing off my own experiences, well, if I was a complete bastard, Darwin would be an arrogant grappler with a style combining BJJ with a little traditional British chain wrestling and some Japanese strong style. The dude had no respect for the art of pro-wrestling. He had travelled the world training and competing with the best grapplers; to him pro-wrestling was completely inane and below his contempt.
Prior to my in-ring debut, I had been involved in a couple of shows for the promotion UK Wrestling. I was used as a plant in the crowd who went on to distract one of the wrestlers. I also interfered during the main event of the previous show, choking out my would-be opponent and setting up the angle for my match. This had been fun – I'd had no nerves whatsoever, being out in front of a crowd and attempting to choke dudes was something that I had experience with. The idea of someone letting me strangle them or at least simulate it with no resistance made for a refreshing change.
Nevertheless, there was a big difference between being comfortable competing BJJ in front of a crowd and pro-wrestling in front of them. Jiu-Jitsu contests were products of hours, weeks, months and years of time on the mats, drilling and rolling. When you have access to the flow state, it is as if your body automatically knows how to beat your opponent. And it really doesn't matter how you win, as long as that is the eventual outcome. But, being out in front of a crowd and working a whole choreographed ten-minute contest, where you had to remember specific things, and you had to actively please a crowd, altering your actions based on their response, this was an altogether different matter.
With my debut fast approaching the fear had begun to kick in.

Dear Caroline,
I'm here, watching tv on the couch that we've sat on so many times doing just that, holding hands. The time we watched "Pulp Fiction" and I fell asleep, my head in your lap. All the late nights watching "Orange is the New Black". You patiently sitting through Jeffery Donovan's voice while I watch episode after episode of "Burn Notice" or geek out to "House". You're so good to me.
Today we discussed plans. Soon. The word still makes me smile. It's the thought that in three weeks I can be laying in your arms again. That three weeks from right now, I can be tilting my head up to touch my lips to yours. That in twenty-one days I can make love to you again as the sun rises. I can reach for your hand and find it. Even if it's only a couple of days, it's more than worth it. I would do it for five minutes with you.
My whole body twitches and shivers at the thought of being near you. It's almost more than I can stand. I miss you so much. The last months have been torturous. I know there is more time still, away from you, but I just want this chance to see you, to drink in the sight of you, to feel you on my skin once more.
Let me. It will be glorious.

Dealing with a SICK Budget
I have heard the word sick used in the context where it meant good or awesome. But in this case, we'll use it by it's true origin. There's nothing more frustrating than sick budgets. There are different levels of budget sickness. Some budgets have a weak cough; others are running a fever; and some are bleeding to death. I have worked with churches where Sunday offerings determined the weekly attitude of the team. The entire team rides the rollercoaster of emotions. Not a very healthy environment for anyone.
There are a lot of different reasons budgets get in trouble. Here are three common factors I see that contribute to financial sickness.
Too Little Talk
I have heard pastors and leaders say, "We don't talk about money in our church." When I ask why, the reply is usually, "It makes people uncomfortable." What's even worse, some tie a theological string to it. The truth is, talking about money makes a lot of pastors uncomfortable because of possible pushback. Here's my philosophy; if you don't talk about it on Sunday, don't cry when you don't see it on Monday. When pastors refuse to teach generosity, they are cheating people from experiencing God's blessing. The Bible has over 2,000 verses about money and possessions, including sixteen of the thirty eight parables. The gospels alone talk about money 288 times. Refusing to teach people about generosity is the same as refusing to teach people to pray or serve. They are all Christian disciplines and even more importantly, they are all commandments from Jesus. (Matthew 23:23)
Remedy: Utilize offering time as an opportunity to encourage and teach generosity. This doesn't necessarily mean you should unload a twenty minute sermonette on giving every weekend (although generosity sermons should be on your preaching calendar); there are other ways. Sharing scripture, life stories and especially vision is the best way to build a culture of generosity. When people can see God's vision for the church, it becomes about more than money. People are more likely to give to what they see, not what they hear. Paint the picture and teach people that giving is an opportunity (not an obligation) to be a part of God's BIG plan for the church and His Kingdom.
Too Much Salary
When staff salaries bleed out resources, ministry is always the first thing that gets defunded. When that happens, lifelessness is just around the corner. Ministry is the life vein of the church and when there's no investment, there's no return. This can result from having too many people on staff and/or high salaries. At the Unstuck Group, we recommend one staff person for every hundred people. Salaries should be between 45%- 55% of the total budget.
Remedy: Cutting budget can be painful, especially when salaries are involved. The first step is to gather all the numbers and determine each percentage. Create four or five categories and plug each percentage into the appropriate place (e.g. salaries, mission, operational, capital, etc). I like using the pie chart. This will show what is eating most of the pie. When a church is salary heavy, the strategy is obvious. Cut the salary slice so you can fatten up the other slices (especially the ministry slice). Doing so will breathe new life back into the church and in the end, the staff will be healthier.
Too Little Accountability
Numbers aren't the most important thing in the world of church (or business); but if you ever stop looking at them, you'll think they are. When financials aren't properly monitored (by a team or board, not a person), things can go south quickly. I have seen financial reports that were so vague, determining financial health was impossible. Too often, board meetings leave out conversations about finances and focus solely on ministry. While this may keep the meetings more comfortable, it will eventually bite you in the butt. Mission must be financed and it cost money to reach lost people.
Remedy: Make sure financial review is always a bullet point on the agenda. I recommend a snapshot of the financials on a monthly basis and detailed report each quarter. The snapshot report should show income and expenditures from the previous month (or weeks). The quarterly report should show patterns and trends for giving and income, as well as whether or not the church is on track with the budget. While this may sound elementary, you'd be surprised how many churches never have those conversations until things are already very sick and bleeding. Health prevention is your best friend when it comes to budget.
For more resources around church health, be sure to get the eBook Vital Signs from the Unstuck Group.

Dunkirk - Film ReviewPosted: Updated:
Dunkirk is a war movie like no other war movie before it, or most likely after it. The film is loosely based on the historic events of the massive evacuation of British troops from the northern French city of Dunkirk in 1940. Surrounded on three sides by the Germans and cut off from both the British fleet and air force the only choice is to evacuate via the English Channel. Here at the Strait of Dover the English Channel, which separates Great Britain from France, is at its narrowest. As a matter of fact, on a clear day you can see the other shore of the foreign country.
Written and directed by Christopher Nolan, who once again plays with chronology, Dunkirk is occasionally challenging when tracking the stories and time, especially near the beginning. Have no fear, for soon you will be so emotionally involved, and wowed by the spectacular visuals and cowed by the amazing sound design and score, that your very identity will be shaken to the core and where you are and what time it is will be irrelevant.
Told in Triptych, with the title of "one hour" "one day" and "one week" the stories are woven together, and involve a cast of hundreds for the fleeing soldiers (one week), a small cast on a privately owned sail boat manned by a British Civilian Captain played by Oscar winner Mark Rylance (one day) and a cast of two British Air Force pilots in separate fighters (one hour) played by actors Tom Hardy and Jack Lowden.
Dunkirk is indefinable; elliptical, intimate, immersive, claustrophobic, compact, yet sweeping. War is a terrifying hell and this hell is especially palpable when experienced in this cinematic feast. Has Nolan ever seen a tripod? I couldn't spot a stationary shot in the entire film, except for the perhaps the last one. Scenes of chaos, especially when soldiers feel trapped, or drowning or generally fighting for their lives are brilliantly realized. Hans Zimmer's haunting score combined with the rich, lush inimitable sound design add to the intensity.
It is beautiful to behold, and it is the type of film you experience, with the story secondary to what you are feeling, seeing and hearing. A treat for your senses, that ultimately celebrates the bravery and strength of all soldiers who have served. The fact that the film is less than two hours, rated PG-13, with no graphic violence but it still manages to have the audience experience the horror of war, in all of its irony, senselessness and relentless fear, makes it almost subversive. Like a lyrical poem, novella or song, its impact stays with you days after you have seen it.

Naruto Shippuuden episode 370
This episode should've wrapped up the flashback scenes for now. I hope the next episode is the one that I've personally been waiting for. Who wouldn't be interested in the upcoming father and son tag team match? I know I am.
So this episode finally wrapped up the flashbacks. Madara was killed by the first and the day was once again saved. It came to light that all of the Hokage have been a bit negligent. They meant well and thought that they had things under control, but now it seems that their past has come back to bite them in the ass.
That scene where Itachi slayed his parents, which has been shown quite a few times now, still chokes me up. Such devotion… Such determination and love for his village… The past Hokage couldn't hold a candle to him. We'll just have to see if they can somehow manage to set things straight after giving the current and next generation this much trouble.

Wireless charging is not particularly new technology, but this year at CES 2018, we're seeing it show up in a big way. Tons of companies are releasing new products in a wide variety of form factors and styles.
Specifically, we're seeing a huge wave of Qi wireless chargers, the popular industry standard that's used by major smartphone companies like Samsung, LG, and tons of others. The standard has actually been around for years, but last fall, Apple introduced Qi charging to its new iPhone 8 and iPhone X models which brought an influx of new users. So now, accessories companies are cashing in.
Apple jumping on board meant two things: tons of new customers looking for Qi pads, and the effective end of the other main wireless charging...

Rain Down 2016
All pioneers like Moses endure as seeing him who is invisible. Only they who fix their eyes on the invisible One can reach the goal of their endeavour. God grant us today that in the walk of faith and trust we may press on and on knowing that we shall succeed if we faint not.
We're on the way to a great discovery. The people of Alberta will be recognized the world over. I'm most anxious that our people may be worthy of the respect and admiration that will surely be yours. You must bear the torch of practical Christianity to a sin-cursed world – that's your problem, that's your responsibility.
Premier William (Bible Bill) Aberhart, August 23, 1936
Alberta is a land with a rich spiritual inheritance. Early missionaries as well as thousands of God-fearing pioneers sowed their faith deep into the prairie soil. Premiers "Bible Bill" Aberhart and Ernest Manning built upon this righteous foundation by preaching the uncompromised gospel to the whole nation every Sunday for over 30 years on their Back to the Bible radio broadcast. Because of these faithful men and women, Alberta has stood as a standard bearer for righteousness in our nation and has rested under a canopy of God's favour and blessing.
If there was ever a time that Canada needs to hear the call to come "Back to the Bible" it is now. And as we mark the 80th year since Premier Aberhart's prophetic declaration over the destiny of our province, we believe the Spirit of God is calling to the Church of Alberta to raise up the age-old foundations and carry the torch of practical Christianity to the lost world around us.
But first we need the rain of His presence to awaken the fire of first love in our own hearts. This August 18-20, the Lord is calling the family of believers in Alberta to gather in Edmonton to worship and wait on Him as we cry out for the rain of His presence to fill our province once again!

Blown deadlines and wet weather have combined to put construction of the Olympic Ice Arenas at Seven Peaks behind schedule.
Meanwhile, the Provo City-Utah County Ice Sheet Authority is exploring the possibility of the facility becoming a national training site, a battle-of-the-sexes hockey game between two gold medal winning teams and designing Olympic pins.Seven Peaks Management Co., and local leaders, anticipated opening the 8,500-seat arena, featuring twin ice rinks, this September. The date has now been pushed to Jan. 1, 1999, and even that isn't firm.
"It's not a rubber date we're throwing out there," Seven Peaks owner Max Rabner told the ice sheet authority Monday. "We are earnestly striving to meet that."
Construction crews had to slow down after last October's groundbreaking because they didn't know if they would build the initial 2,000-seat arena or a larger version. Seven Peaks and the ice sheet authority decided after work started to propose an expanded plan to the Salt Lake Organizing Committee.
Dates for signing contracts were postponed several times between October and January while attorneys wrangled over details.
Seven Peaks expected to move quickly after an agreement was reached Jan. 27, but heavy rain through February literally bogged construction down. "There were many days we couldn't accomplish anything on the construction site," Rabner said, describing the area as "soupy."
Rabner said Seven Peaks is pushing hard to bring the $12 million project back on schedule. He hopes to have one ice sheet finished and open in September - provided Provo issues a temporary occupancy permit while the rest of the building is being completed.
Architects also are working on some design changes to 110,000 square-foot building's facade. Three large panels on the front of the building will feature murals of a hockey player, speedskater and figure skater.
SLOC has designated the venue as site for women's hockey during the 2002 Winter Games, a prospect city and county officials find exciting since the U.S. team won the gold medal in Nagano last month. The arena also might host some short-track speedskating.
The ice sheet authority is pursuing the possibility of the Seven Peaks arena becoming a training site for the U.S. Speedskating Association. Provo Mayor Lewis Billings, authority chairman, met with officials from that organization while in Nagano for the 1998 Games. They might also look into the facility being home to the U.S. women's hockey team.
"I think that's a great concept," said Utah County Commissioner David Gardner, an ice sheet authority member.
Officials also have a local contact who wants to arrange an exhibition hockey game between the 1980 U.S. men's team and the 1998 U.S. women's team sometime after the arena opens. Ice sheet authority members have little information about the proposal but find the idea intriguing.
The ice sheet authority Monday also talked about having Provo, Utah County and Seven Peaks design Olympic pins featuring the ice arena. The authority might consider making separate pins that when placed together create a scene. The Ice Sheet in Ogden had pins made for Nagano. Pins are hot commodities for souvenir hunters.

Maintaining its status as one of the most-talked-about movies of the year, Nymphomanic has just released a pair of promotional posters for all to behold.
In one of the shots, Charlotte Gainsbourg seems to be having a very good time, and the other image features the whole cast getting their freak on.
Slated to hit theaters next year, Nymphomaniac also stars Shia LaBeouf, Uma Thurman, Mia Goth, Willem Dafoe, Jamie Bell, Christian Slater, Stacy Martin, and Stellan Skarsgard.
Per the synopsis, This is a wild and poetic story of a womans erotic journey from birth to the age of 50 as told by the main character, a self-diagnosed nymphomaniac.

Syrian death toll rises as mission changes for U.N. monitors
July 21 - Amateur video appears to show extensive damage and bodies in the town of Tafas as UN Security Council approves a 30-day extension of small unarmed observer mission. Sunita Rappai reports.
Chaos and carnage in the southern Syrian town of Tafas, near Deraa. Reuters is unable to independently verify the content of this video, obtained from a social media website and reportedly shot on Friday. Oppostiion group, the The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights puts the death toll over the last 48 hours at 550 - making it the bloodiest two days of the 16-month uprising. Meanwhile UN observers begin their journey home after a shift in focus in the UN's monitoring mission. The Security Council unanimously approved a 30-day extension of Kofi Annan's peace plan, which deployed 300 unarmed observers to Syria in April. But after little progress in monitoring the non-existent truce, UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon has now shifted the emphasis to pursing a political solution. Diplomats say only half of the 300 observers will be needed for this. The rest are returning home - but will be ready to redeploy at short notice If needed. Sunita Rappai REuters

Advantages of Dissociation
The Psychobiological Functions of Dissociation by Arnold Ludwig
This mechanism has great individual and species survival value. Under certain conditions, it serves to facilitate seven major functions: (1) the automatization of certain behaviors, (2) the efficiency and economy of effort, (3) the resolution of irreconcilable conflicts, (4) escape from the constraints of reality, (5) the isolation of catastrophic experiences, (6) the cathartic discharge of certain feelings, and (7) the enhancement of herd sense (e.g., the submersion of the individual ego for the group identity, greater suggestibility, etc.)
