While we're at it, Obama probably arranged the attack on the BP offshore oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico and should be both investigated and prosecuted
for conspiracy to commit multiple murdera... and treason for this.
Obama does NOT scare me. He can't possibly arrest or silence all the millions of American persons who oppose him and his evil policies. We have him cornered.
The deranged Islamohorror-in-chief's policies may well resemble Putin's--Putin was after ala a major illegal campaign donor to the Obama campaign and Obama could quite easily be a double agent for the KGB (Which Putin heads to this day incidentally).
Oh, and, by the way, anyone who thinks Obama has anything at all in common with Bush must have been smoking something that effectively corrodes the human brain...
We'll get this f*cker. Dead or alive!
These are the most disturbing remarks of anything the thin-skinned infiltrator in the White House has uttered since taking the throne (and that is no small accomplishment). Obama said today that partisan rants and name-calling under the guise of legitimate discourse pose a serious danger to...
Of course "Christian" Barry "barack' Dunham/Soetoro/ "Obama" had nothing to do with any of this!!! ('wink'! 'wink!').
The evil morons of the present Democratic party now unfortunately in control of the federal government will never be able to stop these Islamofascist attacks on our territory--they're too stupid and crooked to do anything about ithese attacks. This is likely to get even uglier (sorry to say). These loons on the left are probably even telling the public (with a straight face yet ) to watch out for 'rightwing terrorists' since you never know when they'll attack the World Trade Center next....
The Obama Administration has ABSOLUTELY lost ALL control of American national security (something which ranked maybe number 97 on Obama's list of 'things to do', right after having Michelle grow eggplants on the White House lawn or right before having Usher come in and sing at a Wednesday evening soiree). Obama and his corrupt political cohorts are on the brink getting our people killed by jihadist thugs. Possibly intentionally so. Would anyone be surprised if it was discovered that these "progressive" politicians/thugs were stoopong to accepting bribes by the CAIR or the Muslim Brotherhood et al to look the other way as the bombs were being planted in our cities and set to detonate?
Obama is a jihad accessory and should be tried at the International Criminal Court for conspiring with jihadists to commit mass murder on US soil. (Obama is a Muslim and KNOWS ALL ABOUT the homicidal cast of jihad warfare--it's taught to Muslims in madrassas, and Barry Soetoro actually WENT to a madrassa in Jakarta!). Obama also conspired with raila odinga to overthrow a democratically-elected government in Kenya and replace it with an Islamict-dictatorship that practices barbaric sharia law and jihad against non-Muslims there. Obama wants YOU...to get murdered by invading jihadist armies, encase you haven't figured it out yet.
Let us save America and euthanize the Obama administration FAST!!! And get someone in who will do what we are paying them to do: represent the United States of America and its people.
The mainstream media is dismissing the gravity of the failed Times Square bomb as "amateurish." Many headlines are leading with this angle. This, yet again, reflects the nonsensical and lethal "logic" of our news gatherers. Video: Times Square Bomb Scare: 'Very Deadly' Blast Averted RT T...
P.S.: here is what Muslims (and that rotten Obama Administration) WON'T tell Americans about Islam:
Islam is NOT in fact a religion at all. Islam is a totalitarian political ideology that uses violence to subjugate entire societies and hides its superstitious, misogynistic self behind a beard of archaic theology that vaguely resembles Judeo-Christianism (even if only superficially so).
Also, first degree murder is an essential component of Islam (human sacrifice?). The Kuran even tells Muslims to begin preying upon each other when infidel blood isn't available for spilling!
"A good place for other students to come to learn about Islam." "For teachers to learn about tolerance" "A great way for other faiths to learn a little" Our taxpayer dollars at work -- state university imposing Islam on all students.
There of course was never ANY reason to introduce Islam into school curriculum anywhere. All one needs to do to understand Islam is read through a copy of the Kuran (preferably one that was published in a Middle Eastern country). The Kuran, although extremely lengthy and laborious, is not that complex or difficult to understand. For anyone capable of a reasonable level of reading comprehension and with an IQ of over, say, 80, there is nothing anyone could tell you about Islam you couldn't gather off the written page of a Kuran for yourself.
Islam is a barbaric, primitive political ideology trapped in the barbaric, primitive Arab culture of the six hundreds AD. The world has advanced light years since then. Who the hell needs lessons for going backwards in time over a millennium to some rotten place where two plus two equalled seven simply because a tyrannical Arab pedophile and caravan robber said so?
What's really going on of course is the corrupt US Democratic-led government is now aiding and abetting Islamist brainwashing of the American people. I guess this is Barack Insane Obama's much-vaunted "hope and change." Lucky us.
"A good place for other students to come to learn about Islam." "For teachers to learn about tolerance" "A great way for other faiths to learn a little" Our taxpayer dollars at work -- state university imposing Islam on all students.
Everyone who can read this and hasn't done so already should look into getting involved with the forming of a Citizen's Grand Jury in their home state to indict Barack Insane Obama for committing treason and any number of other crimes, malfeasances, and felonies he is known to have committed.
We all can and should play a role in prosecuting, impeaching, and sentencing this usurper. This is OUR nation he has been screwing with and we should have already dealt with him and his administration as a people by now. It it our future that is being threatened by this ghastly administration and its equally ghastly policies. Let's get on with it and take this bunch down.
No excuses.
There should be on-line listings for how to form a Citizen's Grand Jury listed for each state.
This is all part of Obama's Jihad. He took an oath to protect and defend the US against all enemies foreign and domestic, and he is both. This is legally actionable, but who will do it? Who will lead us out of this nightmare? The Fort Hood Attack: Unresolved By Congressman John Carter Anwar al...
Who will prosecute, impeach, and remove from the office of the presidency Barack Insane Obama (for being an evil usurper who has used the office of the presidency to commit countless crimes including treason)? WE THE PEOPLE WILL DO IT... OF COURSE. (No irony intended).
And in fact it IS being done. TO cite on example, Mr. Bob Campbell of Arizona, has launched an 'American Grand Jury' campaign to begin the prosecution both Barack Insane Obama and Nazi "Nancy" Lugosi for election fraud. (I personally donated money to this campaign, although my limited financial resources sure won't wow anybody...LOL). AMERICAN GRAND JURY, Mr. Campbell's campaign, may be accessed on the internet at the website of the same name.
The legal system generally takes a long time to navigate through under the best of conditions and in the case of BHO it will take longer for two specific reasons. First, Eric Holder the federal DA is in the tank for Obama and the progressivist takeover of the United States. Holder can and in fact has been throwing up every legal obstacle imaginable for anyone hoping to use the legal system to prosecute the Obama Administration. The second reason of course is a variation of the same theme: the Democratic majority in Congress are likewise in the tank for Obama, screwing the American middle class, and the progressivist takeover of the United States. Congress could easily remove Obama and other corrupt members of the Obama administration but their ideological affinities to him have made them relustant if not overtly hostile to anything resembling impeachment proceedings (plus the fact that Obama can take them all down with him as he is fully aware that most of the Congress assisted him in committing election fraud in 2008 and will expose them if they were to decide to impeach him). No law-abiding American citizen should miss this bunch of conspirators, crooks, thugs, terrorist-huggers, and losers.
After the Demorats lose their majority in the Congress in November (as they surely WILL), Obama will face a hostile Congress that will NOT be subject to blackmail by him and they surely will not hesitate either to assist Americans in the job of legally removing this hideous blot on the US presidency.
Bon voyage, Barry! Send us some autographed license plates from your prison cell, would you!

Congratulations, Pamela, on your chutzpah in consistently delivering the truth to the American people. This book may be your definitive achievement in this area. I will definitely have to get my hands on a copy. I hope it sells million$ of copies!!! (And I'm sure it will).
My only criticism is that Barack Insane Obama is W-A-A-A-A-A-A-Y uglier than the picture you have of him printed on your book cover!
Here's the book jacket -- of the much awaited, authoritative book on Obama. Accept no substitutes. Don't settle for also-rans. Go to the original source. Pre-order it now! Scroll and look what Geert Wilders, Mark Steyn, Caroline Glick, Brad Thor, Andrew McCarthy, and David Horowitz have said abo...
Although this legal case is In No WAY the ideal way for America to get rid of the (truly horrific) Obama pseudo-presidency, it may well be the most expedient way to get rid of Obama at this time. In our case, expediting the removal of this very corrupt presidency is not to be scoffed at. The sooner we lose Obama and his gaggle of political criminal cronies, the better for all of us!
Obama is to bad US presidents what Krakatau was to volcanic eruptions. Getting rid of this evil Islamohorror is no longer merely an option--it's really a pressing necessity! Maybe we shouldn't be looking this gifthorse in the mouth.
After all, we can always continue taking legal action against Obama once he is impeached and out of office. We all know Obama and the Democratic Party pulled a flagrant, outrageous election theft of the US presidency and they and Obama deserve to be punished for it. I do not personally believe that if we prosecute and subsequently impeach Obama for his crimes as a senator (which is primarily what this case appears to be built upon) that the way for prosecuting Obama and Company for the innumerable crimes of Obama's presidential campaign and presidency will be blocked.
The corruption of the Obama administration will I think continue to be dealt with through the legal system for many years to come. Many of the Demorats now on Capitol Hill I am sure will be personally autographing license plates from their prison cells for years to come. (Place your orders for one of these license plates now!, they'll make great 'conversation pieces').
The media's silence is criminal, shockingly subversive. This is far worse than anything Nixon ever did, and let's be frank, those two leftgate journalists weren't letting go until they destroyed Nixon. If Bush did anything remotely like this, he'd have been out on his ass so fast. We, have...
memo to slice:
The American people did NOT elect Obama as the President of the USA-- although the majority evidently DID vote for Obama in spite of Acorn's theft of hundreds of thousands if not millions of their votes. You are probably saying at this point, come again?
In the United States it is the Electoral College that elects the US president and not the popular vote. As it happens, many of the state officials in the electoral college are radicals who had likely been more or less installed by George Soros (using his billion$$ to successfully worm his way into the US political system as he's been doing for years)under the radar of the masses of people. Obama was elected by these people because they are traitors who are neither loyal to the United States of America nor democracy and probably received some fat bribes to vote for Obama.
As for Fort Hood, Obama is really a co-conspirator in the crime. Obama did not subvert so much as he made himself an accessory to this act of mass murder and for that should receive the same punishment that Nidal Hasan receives (which probably won't be much, enemies of the United States don't value the lives of US citizens the last ttime I checked). As far as most of us should be concerned it is almost as if Obama had murdered these servicemen himself. Obama indeed is partly responsible.
Obama incidentally as we all know had been a friend of Hasan's. Obama knew Hasan was a jihadist with aspirations to kill Americans (Obama being a Muslim was aware of what Hasan was capable of). Inspite of this, Obama placed Hasan on a homeland security panel (we could all DIE laughing at the insanity of this if it was funny, as it is we may all just die... by jihad attacks) and was permitted access to government and military installations with Obama's full knowledge. Obama knowingly suppressed information tbat would have saved our servicemen's lives.
Obama would do to all of us what Hasan did to the servicemen at Fort Hood and he would cover it up too. Morality and Obama cannot be mentioned in the same breath.
As for the Pentagon, State department, and Obama Administration, does anyone even recognize any of these as the American government anymore? Or even recognize them at all????
Because I don't. All I see is an enemy armed camp skulking within buildings on our territory that once housed our national govenrment and defense department. And that's all.
If you close your eyes and listen to the jihadist convicted yesterday in his role in unleashing a bomb in the NYC subway system on the anniversary of the 911 Islamic attacks on America, you would swear it was Obama and his dhimmi administration talking: "I strongly urge the American people to ...
Whoever said the government is not your friend was 100 percent correct. It sure isn't OUR friend.
Today our government is now Satan's best friend instead.

If Mr. O'Reilly seriously harbors reservations concerning freedom of speech, maybe he should take his own advice and shut up (and get off the airwaves!). We don't need cowards like this guy.
As for everyone else who DOES believe in free speech, one of our founding fathers (Benjamin Franklin, I believe) once remarked "those who would trade liberty for security deserve neither."
Something to think about.
It's a dark day, America, when a leading pundit on the FOX network, even a clownish one, admits that the risk of the threat of Muslim violence outweighs the benefits of free speech. Does O'Reilly understand what he has said and done? I am not a big O'Reilly fan. He is weak and equivocal, s...

Persons who personally and/or politically uphold the princliples of the Constitution of the United States are believed by the political leftwingers to be 'rightwingers' and thus 'terrorists', are they not? Well, here's a solution: let's take their citizenship of the United States away from them (they can't stand the place or American people anyway, they keep telling us) and deport them to the Marxist/Islamist paradise land of their choosing. We don't want leftists to be unhappy, now do we? I don't.
I hear it's awfully nice over there in Kim Jong Il's North Korean paradise. I think the likes of Sean Penn, Barbara Kingsolver, Nancy Pelosi, Howard Dean,GLoria Steinem, Michael Moore, and many others would be so very happy where they can live in such a paradise. Why not make it happen for them! And they'll have no more 'rightwing' terror for them to worry about over there either. Gee, talk about win/win!

More obscene shenanigans from that evil ass-clown of Islam. Isn't that a surprise...
I think what is finally going to have to happen is for enough Americans to get together (say about 4 to six million which we can probably assemble now) and go down to DC and blockade the entire federal government on Capitol Hill, the Supreme Court and shut the entire thing down, turn off the power grids, hold emergency (non-partisan) elections and start all over again. Right now, there's nothing left resembling sanity in the federal government. It's quite unbelievable.
This lunatic Dunham/Soetoro.Obama and his gaggles of evil morons are not going to go out without a fight, that I am sure of.
When these evil morons ARE finally disposed of we can recontruct our alliances, institutions, and economy. But until then we are probably going to have to focus on surgical removal of these deadly schlemmiels like that proverbial laser beam...

memo to SHOSHANA:
Art can definitely be political and a case in point are the literary masterworks of George Orwell, "1984" and "ANIMAL FARM;" another would be the literary works of Ayn Rand including her epic novel "ATLAS SHRUGS". Another case is Finnish classical music composer, Jean Sibelius' "FINLANDIA" suite (which appropriately warned of the danger from Communism through musical expression). Many classic motion pictures by the way have made political statments, such as "PATHS OF GLORY" and "ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT."
The trick for art to succeed in making a political statement is for the art to be truthful and at the time to be successful on an artistic level. It can be (and has been) done!
Why would you suppose that art can't tell a political truth and not succeed as art at the same time?

This is the SECOND time the Muslim jihadists have targeted a Canadian prime minister for a televised beheading.
On a public service video titled 'WHAT EVERY AMERICAN NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT JIHAD' (produced by the Terrorism Awareness Project) nations under siege by "radical" Islam are lit up on a map in green light; the United States of America of course lights up in green, although Canada does not. Maybe Canada should be lighting up in green now.

"Social justice" of course is a synonym for "Marxism." Marxism was a lethal force that deadened creativity in the arts of Russia and its satellite Iron Curtain countries that were conquered by the Soviets. Socialim hasn't done much good for the arts in western Europe either now that I think about it (their movies are generally appallingly dreary).
What Americans really need to get started on to combat this Obama-propagated propaganda siege is a nationwide creative arts program (privately funded of course) that exposes the true efects of Marxist ideology on societies and the fine arts. People must know the truth about the REAL effects of Marxism. The arts are a natural for communicating this message!

I have spoken to some Middle Easterners about the origins of Islam (and why it is so horrifyingly barbaric), they seem to concur with me that Muslims worship the same God the Mesopotamians did (particularly the Babylonians) and that the ancient human sacrifice rituals to the moon-idol practiced in the Mesopotamian area metamorphosed over the millennia into the murderous jihad we see today. Babylon controlled the Arabian peninsuls for centuries and Arab culture shows many resemblances to the Mesopotamian world (especially with regards to the moon figuring into many aspects of life). Bear in mind that in the ancient world, human life meant ZERO and that is the hallmark of Islam--no respect for human life. At the very least Islam is a holdover from an age mankind should have left behind many centuries ago.
As for the carnage at Batak, Bulgaria the tragedy experienced by these villagers is a somber lesson for humanity as to what is in store for any non-Muslim society that permits MUSLIMS to migrate into it in any number.
But let me tell you what we saw at Batak ... The number of children killed in these massacres is something enormous. They were often spitted on bayonets, and we have several stories from eye-witnesses who saw the little babes carried about the streets, both here and at Olluk-Kni, on the poi...
It's not a surprise really that the government is wimping out and giving the good guys (you good people at SIOA) a tough time.
In the meantime, why not pass out some Kurans to the public with those violent teachings in the Kuran highlighted with marker and the pages marked? While waitikng for our usually less-than-stellar judges to come through (or not) you can STILL carry on spreading the important message that Islam teaches first degree murder.

message to al-Kidya:
If human beings operated logically and predictably you might be right. But the world is not that simple a place: Muslims and Communists actually ARE aligned and have been for some time (since the 1950s if not earlier). Islam and Communist ideologies have one thing in common: the objective of attaining world domination through violent conquest. Thus the two movements use each other for this purpose even if they don't particularly like each other.
A number of years ago I worked with a very pleasant chap from Iran (I believe he was a Christian) when I mentioned the Ayatollah Khomeini to him he remarked that without Russia the Mullahs would be powerless.
On a website that is no longer in operation I read a post from a man who claimed to be a Palestinian who maintained that the KGB and the Muslim Brotherhood had been covertly co-operating since the 1950s (he had enough convincing information to render me less tempted to question him than I otherwise have been). If that sounds far-fetched, Hitler had a special relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood in the 1930s (Hitler believe it or not was a Marxist, Nazi stands for "national Socialism"--and Socialism as we all know is Marxism).
The late great Iraqi Baathist Party is also supposed to have been a Marxist/Islamist political organization as well. Here is where things get really interesting: Obama is both a Muslim AND a Communist. So too is one of his biggest fans--Moammar Qadafi. I have reason to suspect that Vladimir Putin converted to Islam, although I lack hard evidence of that at present. Putin is still a Communist and may now be a Muslima s well.
Assuming that Communists and Muslims are mutually exclusive is naive.

As much as I like Sarah Palin, I am not convinced that she is electable as the President of the United States or that her running for the presidency in such a critical election year as 2012 is a good idea. I doubt if many people want another Demorat for a president anytime soon after the debacle of the Obama Administration. I know I sure as hell don't. If Palin runs in 2012 and loses we will get ANOTHER Demorat in the White (Nut) House!!!!! God help us. We simply cannot take a chance on this lady losing this election.
I am now hearing reports that Sarah Palin, like John McCain, supports amnesty for illegal aliens (which I know to be a VERY bad idea--I live in southern California and have watched firsthand what unchecked illegal immigration can do to once fine communities--and California has long been known as the "bellweather state" what happens here first usually affects the rest of the nation in turn). Ms. Palin, being from Alaska (with its less than one million people on six hundred thousand square miles of territory--the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles County has at least two the three times the entire population of Alaska) has largely been insulated from many of the problems that plague the rest of our country-- I wonder if she would know how to deal with any of them adequately. And she has virtually no experience at all with the national legislation process in Congress. This is not a small matter, there are plenty of things she would need to know if she were to get elected president and I am not sure this lady is ready to learn them at this point in her life (being on reality TV does not strike me as being much of a training ground to become the US President).
The Jews in the USA cut their own throats in 2008. I pray to Yahweh that they do NOT repeat the same mistake in 2012.
I do not mean to condescend to Ms. Palin, I am fond of her. I am just not convinced being the president of the USA is for her.
This is a long overdue development. I, for one, am thrilled, and hope to work with this group. The Jews lost their way long ago, but I equate their treatment of Sarah Palin with taking the gas pipe (literally). Palin is, and has been, a staunch supporter of the only freedom-loving American ally ...
Eric Holder is a nut.

It's usually leftist idiots like those Democrat politicans now stinking up Capitol Hill who are the ones shouting at the rest of us that we have all been "violating the constitutional pronciple of separation of Church and state" (usually merely by expressing our Christianity and Judeo-Christian heritage).
We can all gauge from this (and the Democratic National Convention two years or so back when they had Islamic imams say Islamic prayers before and after their convention) just how much separation between Church and state really means to the leftwingers in the USA.
Oh yes--and the ACLU can go to hell too.

Generic strategies categorize companies by the scope and the strength of their business. Amicus Therapeutics does not have a definable strategy, therefore, it risks losing out to firms that concentrate on one particular competitive advantage. (read more).
Company Description: Amicus Therapeutics, Inc., founded in 2002, discovers and develops orally-administered small molecule drugs for the treatment of various human genetic diseases with a focus on lysosomal storage disorders. These "pharmacological chaperones" selectively bind to the target protein. Amicus Therapeutics is based in Cranbury, New Jersey. Update
Market Research
Health Care Industry Research & Analysis: The health care industry depends on the care of health-related services by professionals for the benefit of patients. Medical device markers, insurance companies, pharmaceutical drug developers and government institutions are major participants in the treatment of sick, injured and disabled patients. Health Care Trading Strategy: Health Care stocks tend to be less sensitive to economic changes. Look for undervalued health care investments at any point in the business cycle when stock prices are low. However, biotech, employment staffing and insurance companies may all decrease during recessions for different reasons. Government intervention is another important factor in health care investments, since government spending in health care is a very large portion of overall health care spending. When governments change spending plans, different sub-sectors in the industry are significantly affected. Upward sloping stock charts and financial news may indicate a selling opportunity while the opposite means that stocks are becoming undervalued.

Bullet Union
Bilge Pump
Preferably from the UK and current.

Honey ride me a goat?
Kid pang (formerly lakes)?
Dunno, a mate recommended a band called Beckfords (i think) once - he said they were a bit like charlottefield, but i've not had a chance to listen to them.There's a spanish band called picore on gringo, think that one of the guys out of charlottefield plays/ed with them, http://gringorecords.limitedrun.com/products/16140-picore-libranos-del-mal-lp.
I'm being good?
Silent front?
Thanks for this
I'm familiar with most of these - didn't realise Honey Ride Me A Goat were still around...dunno why I thought that! Pure ignorance I guess. I'll check out Kid Pang and Beckfords.
Kid Pang has it going on.
Can't find Beckfords anywhere though :(
Haha, great stuff!
Great guys too. I think they've disbanded and reformed as man hands or something now, but there's already an american band called man hands.
Keep posting in this thread if more stuff comes up. Maybe give arsenio a try too, http://arsenio.bandcamp.com/?
Funny you should mention Arsenio
I just came across them yesterday! The recordings are a little weak, but sounds like they've got some good ideas.
Oh man
I wish Charlottefield were still about.
No. Fucking. Way.

Muslims in Mannaar expose systemic inability of SL State in delivering justice to victims
Police out of Koneswaram demands Sampanthan[TamilNet, Tuesday, 12 March 2002, 22:11 GMT]Mr.R.Sampanthan, Trincomalee district parliamentarian Tuesday urged the Deputy Inspector General of Police (Eastern region) to permanently remove the police barrack from the 'madam' (pilgrim's rest) of historic Koneswaram temple in the eastern port town. The MP pointed out that all places of worship currently occupied by the forces should be vacated within thirty days of the signing of the cease-fire agreement by the Prime Minister Mr.Ranil Wickremasinghe and Mr.V.Pirapaharan, the leader of the Liberation Tigers. The 'madam' of the historical Koneswaram Temple has been used as a Sri Lankan Police barrack for over eight years. The 'madam' is situated close to the temple. The Police allow the Koneswaram temple management council to use the pilgrim's rest only once a year for offering free meals ('Annathaanam') to devotees who attend the Maha Sivarathiri day night poojahs in the temple. Thousands of Hindu devotees Tuesday night attended 'Maha Sivarathiri' poojahs in the Koneswaram Temple, which is inside the Fort Frederick where the Sri Lanka Army's Gajaba Regiment is currently stationed. The Police have now allowed the temple management to use its pilgrim's rest to offer free meals to devotees who stay in the temple Tuesday night to observe 'Maha Sivarathiri' fasting. "The madam would be taken back by the Police on Thursday for their use," a temple official told TamilNet. But Hindu organizations and leading citizens want the pilgrim's rest to be handed over the temple management permanently. They have requested the authorities to take steps to oust the Police from the pilgrim's rest permanently. The continuing presence of Police in the pilgrim's rest of the temple would cause immense harm to the feelings of Hindus, Mr.Sampanthan stressed. The date of original Koneswaram temple is recorded in a Tamil poem by Kavi Rajavarothiar as being 1589 BC. King Kulakottan, a South Indian prince rebuilt and enlarged this temple in the 5th century AD. Fort Frederick, where the temple is situated, was built with sculptured stones and pillars of the Koneswaram temple in 1624 AD, after the temple was demolished by the Portuguese commander Constantine de Sa. The current Koneswaram temple was first consecrated in 1963, about three hundred and thirty nine years after its destruction. |

"Here it is, here it is at last, the encounter with reality… All is lost now!" - In Dostoevsky's Notes from Underground, the story's anonymous hero, the Underground Man, a minor civil servant living in 19th century St Petersburg, has withdrawn completely into what he calls the "underground," a state of total alienation and isolation from society. Is he right in thinking that life in community with others can never truly work? Would it be better for us too to choose the life of an Underground Man over life in our society? Is Aristotle therefore wrong when he claims that humans are by nature "social animals"?

According to their website there should be difference: http://www.tmlewin.co.uk/Size-Chart-Tabs/Size-Chart-Tabs,en_GB,pg.html
That page doesn't say anything about the London Super Fitted, unless I am missing something.
Recently purchased a Barba from ShopTheFinest http://www.shopthefinest.com/p-76745-barba-napoli-blue-shirt-extra-slim-155-us-39-eu.aspx
Does anyone know of a shirt that is slightly slimmer?
I have a Maria Santangelo that I picked up at a store while in Miami that fits a little slimmer (about 2 inches in the chest and waist and an inch in the shoulders) better but that was 200 as opposed to the 140 for the Barba from STF and I can't find Maria Santangelos anywhere else.
For a quick, cheap, and dirty slim fit shirt that it truly an extremely slim fit (albeit not very high quality at all, though still fairly durable) check out Vincenzo Boretti on Amazon (listed un VB Shirt Body Fit). They're cheap, look fantastic, and I believe are 100% cotton, though again, there's not much in the quality and detail department. They're one of those sorta sketchy seeming "Amazon Only" brands, but their fit really is great.
I bought three Harvie and Hudson shirts last month in their 3 for 2 offer - e.g. usual retail at £75 each, but £150 gets you three.
Against the advice that the shirts would have some residual shrink I sized on how they fitted in the shop. True enough to my dismay I found that on their first wash at a 30°C delicate cycle they did indeed shrink. Perhaps not a half collar size but certainly a nip in length and overall fit.
As a consequence they are rather too tight and short for me and so I am considering having the double cuffs tailored to a single cuff - if indeed possible (?) - for more casual wear.
Two options for this might be Pinnas and Needles or Tosca and Daughters. Any member thoughts on this? Great fabrics and nice thin MOP buttons so it'd be preferable to sort something out cost permitting.
The alternative is to cut my losses and attempt their sale. The two concerned are as follows;
Blue Oxford
site link: Blue Royal Oxford Slim Fit Shirt
Blue Herringbone
site link: Blue Herringbone Slim Fit Shirt
Is there any interest here? Sizing for both is 15.5 neck, regular sleeve length.
One not worn, the other worn once only for interviews. Both washed once.
I'm in the UK.
@SPIER & MACKAY has the best slim fitting shirts I've tried so far. I typically purchased custom made shirts as none of TM Lewin, Charles Tyrwhitt, or Kamaruka's options fit me terribly well (at least given the outlays). Spier & Mackay's fit almost as well as my custom shirts at a fraction of what I paid for them . If you're a slim or athletic build, they are a fantastic option!

Refactoring unit tests for readability
Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand. - Martin Fowler, 2008
The code you produce will be read. The "brillant" class you have just written and forgotten might sit idle for many months. Then it breaks. It's Friday evening and hotfix is needed right now because crucial invoicing procedure is generating weird, negative invoices for no reason!
Your poor colleague, Joe, is assigned to this dreaded task only to find your class. With elaborate algorithms solving simple tasks, because optimization1. With rarely used LINQ method. With neat, little code trick. With bit of "hackerish" list operations you had then learnt from some cool blog.
Sure, the implementation worked great. Unfortunately, not for Joe. He most likely understands nothing of it. Not because he has brain freeze or is slightly slower. It is because you had produced unreadable, unmaintainable ball of mud.
Why readability matters
Joe would have been just fine if you had kept your solution simple. Saved cool tricks and hacks for your pet projects at home. Didn't optimize prematurely. Instead, focused on solving problem at hand and making sure your code is as simple to follow as possible. It is invaluable in situations like the one described above.
Now… how do you improve readability of your code? To discover that, we'll take a look at the ExportTaskScheduler class, solving one specific business requirement – scheduling export:
That's all there is. This code is fairly simple and readable. Method has well-defined, single responsibility (schedules export2) and is only few lines long. Anybody reading it should be able to tell what's going on almost immediately. Readability goal has been achieved. Or… has it?
Let's take a look at its unit test:
This code is certainly not as readable as implementation one. Why is that so? Unfortunately, unit tests are often treated as "second class citizen", a code where regular practices and patterns don't apply. This is a mistake. You will often find test methods without descriptive name, spanning multiple screen, weird mocks usage, cryptic variables naming – all developer's careless attitude visible through code. Just as if unit test was some sort of different, less important code. It is not. It is production-level one, just as any other.
Without further due, let's go over the issues one by one.
1. Test method name
The TestScheduleFutureExportTask
tells us nothing. This is bad because method name is first thing we will see (especially when test fails) and it's the name which should give us brief overview of testing scenario (so that we get to know what we are dealing with quickly). Using one of the popular naming conventions we arrive at something closer to ScheduleExportTask_SchedulesCorrectTask_10MinutesFromNow
2. Variables names
Since we deal with two schedulers, high level one (scheduling business process) – ExportTaskScheduler, and low level one (scheduling code commands described by some objects) – FutureTaskScheduler, we should pay extra attention to how these two variables are named. The current choice (taskScheduler
and scheduler
) is rather poor as it is harder to discover which is which. Rule of thumb is to keep the variables names long, without any "smart" abbreviations. In the long run, exportTaskScheduler
is an immediate tell, while scheduler
, taskScheduler
, tScheduler
or exTskSchd
are not.
3. Dealing with time
We use FluentAssertions syntax to neatly create DateTime instances but truth to be told, the exact value is irrelevant in this test. We need some point in time because we assert how other values relate to this given point (task is scheduled 10 minutes from now). We are better of with hiding exact value, for example in static field:
Then, our asserts are much more verbose:
4. Asserting values
Since this is the rare test of verifying whether some other component was called (with correct parameters) and we are already doing asserts inside WhenArgumentsMatch
the simplicity has taken a hit. What we could do is extract the assertions to separate methods. Our test now looks like this:
It is good as it is but there are few more things we could do. They might not be as beneficial in this simple case but as the number of test cases grows, they will make a difference.
5. Extracting instances creation
For any test case, the way system/class under test instance is created is most likely irrelevant. What matters is easy access to such instance and clear, intuitive name (and we've already dealt with that). To put that noise away, we can move such preparation steps elsewhere. For example, to NUnit's SetUp method where each instance is created and stored in class field:
This way, the arrange part tells that current time is this and this, which is the only relevant information.
6. Verbose arrange
…which could be improved further. How? By wrapping it in a more verbose method, like:
The more test cases we got, the more beneficial such verbose arranges get. Similar thing can be done to assert part but since it will be different for different tests, there is little gain (we won't be able to reuse such verbose assert). The final version of unit test might look like this:
Readability is important. Simple, easy to understand code is important. Somebody is going to read our work one day, maybe in a big hurry. We don't want to make their work harder.
To learn more about practices similar to the ones presented in this post, I recommend Robert C. Martin book, Clean Code, and his training videos based on the book (these can be found online).

The fact that the press did so little to question the war while doing so much to help promote it has always bothered me.
I guess they bought the whole "if you're not with us you're against us" line before the war even started. - Thursday, March 06, 2008

Concert at the End of the World
Trip Start
Jan 20, 2004
Trip End
Almost as though someone had flipped the switch, the calmness dissipated and we found ourselves once again facing the unrelenting winds. Intermittent sections of brutal washboard were the norm on the gravel road leading to the Argentinean border, but we stopped suddenly when we continued to experience a washboard sensation on what appeared to a smooth stretch. We were surprised that we had not had a flat already somewhere along the way, but the powerful blowout caused by a sharp stone made up for the delay - and the tyre was totally destroyed! Changing a wheel with gale force winds howling around us, and in the middle of the pampa where there were no large stones to block the wheels, was an "interesting" experience that we would not like repeated too often.
The northern area of Tierra del Fuego can generally be characterized by its "prairie-like" flat pampa, oil wells, and incessant winds. After hours of driving through this rather dreary landscape, we were astonished by the total transformation provided by the windswept city of R�o Grande - somewhat akin to finding an oasis in the desert. The jungle gym brightly coloured pipe sculptures that line the city streets were nothing if not bizarre, but fortunately the more sedate - but definitely functional - garage was able to quickly equip us with two sparkling new rear tyres.
Continuing southward, the barren landscape was gradually transformed into forests of lenga and �irre, all dressed in their fall hues of rusty-red, orange and yellow, and comfortably draped in old man's beard. Still further south, the crystal clear lakes presented a picture of beauty, as they were dwarfed by the looming snow-capped mountains of the Cordillera Darwin and the Sierra de Beauvoir. These are the final stunning peaks of the Andes range as it heads east towards the Atlantic Ocean. Then just 31,060 km and almost exactly 15 months after leaving Ottawa in January of 2004, we reached Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world. Nestled beneath the picturesque jagged mountain peaks, Ushuaia is not only famous as the gateway to southern adventure, but it is also the former home of many of Argentina's criminals and political prisoners in its notorious penal colony.
Having already made our trek to Antarctica, and not being particularly interested in becoming an integral part of Argentina's prison system, we were most fortunate to encounter our own special event in Ushuaia. We were thrilled to get tickets for the premiere concert of the first ever International Music Festival at the end of the world - a fifteen day event which was scheduled to start a couple of days after our arrival. A collaborative effort between Ushuaia and Austria, this ambitious enterprise features the Symphony Orchestra of Salta as well as an impressive slate of trios, quartets and soloists. The program for the opening night included Mozart's Violin Concerto No 5, with Wolfgang Brand (first violinist of the Vienna Philharmonic) as soloist, as well as Dvor�k's "New World" Symphony. Despite the late start due to an interminable series of speeches, it was an invigorating evening with a spirited performance by the young musicians - even if not quite up to the standards of Pinchas Zukerman and the NACO!
With the temperatures inside our van reaching the freezing point during the night, and with snow falls becoming an almost daily occurrence, we might have decided on a quick departure to warmer climes further north. Instead, since Argentinean campsites generally provide a plug-in, we decided to purchase a small space heater. Now warm and cozy, perhaps this will be a suitable location to finalize plans for the next stage of our journey.....STAY TUNED!!

'Wonder Woman' and 'Blade Runner 2049' showcased at Vegas convention
LAS VEGAS Warner Bros presented "Wonder Woman", "Blade Runner 2049" and other upcoming films at CinemaCon, a four-day movie convention held in Las Vegas.
NEW YORK Bestselling novelist Robert B. Parker, who created the Spenser detective novels that became a television series, has died at his home in Cambridge, Massachusetts, his representative said on Tuesday. He was 77.
Parker, who wrote nearly 40 novels featuring the tough Boston private investigator Spenser, died on Monday, said Michael Barson at publisher G.P. Putnam and Sons. The cause of death was unknown.
The author, whose series was turned into the 1980s TV series "Spenser: For Hire", wrote more than 60 books that were often set in the Boston area. He also penned books aimed at young adults.
Parker was born in Springfield, Massachusetts and received a PhD degree in English literature from Boston University before his first novel was published in 1973.
He earned several crime writing awards, including an Edgar Award in 1977 from the Mystery Writers of America for best novel for his fourth book in the Spenser series, "Promised Land," which later became the pilot program for the TV series.
Besides Spenser, whose first name is never revealed in the novels, Parker created several detective characters including his more recent protagonist, Jesse Stone, a former minor league baseball player.

This delicious giant pancake is so easy to make. You need all-purpose flour, milk, eggs, brown sugar and butter, you blend the ingredients in a food processor, you pour the batter in a cast iron skillet and you bake the pancake for about 20 minutes. It's that simple!
I usually make it for breakfast and I serve it with butter, lemon juice and powdered sugar, but this pancake is also perfect served as a dessert, topped with mascarpone cheese and strawberries. It is delicate, flavorful, custardy and so tasty!

Lesson Plan
Invite students to draw a picture of what they think the inside of their computer looks like. Encourage them to show what they think makes the computer work.
Then have students explore the grade-level appropriate computer at Click-N-Learn. As they read, encourage students to make a list of any words or terms they do not understand. Have them to go to Whatis.com to look up the words on their lists.
Note: The part of this lesson described above might be completed with students gathered around a single classroom computer, with a projected image of the Web site as the whole class explores it together, with students working at individual computers in a lab setting, or with students working individually at a learning center computer.
Next, write a list of words on a board or chart and have students write a one-sentence definition for each word. You might use the words below, or create your own list of grade-appropriate terms:
Then ask each student to create his or her own personal dictionary of computer terms. The five terms you provided for the activity can be the start of that dictionary. Encourage students to add to their lists of terms and definitions throughout the year as they learn more about computers and other technology.
Students will provide correct definitions for each of five words in the activity.
Answer Key: (Definitions from Whatis.com.)
1. A motherboard is the physical arrangement in a computer that contains the computer's basic circuitry and components.

It also helps, I assume, that Texas is a big petroleum state and manufactures quite a bit of propane which is sold by the big oil companies, so it's a Texan's duty to use it. I guess mesquite is okay too, but best if you throw mesquite chips over a propane grill for flavor (actually, I believe the best way to do this is to put moistened mesquite chips in a foil pouch which you lay on the lava rocks in your propane grill so they don't just burn, but smoke the food nicely).

***Disclosure: I received complimentary samples to facilitate my review. No other compensation was provided, and all opinions are 100% honest and have not been influenced in any way.***
You see, for many years, Kyle was relentlessly bullied, all because of his orientation. He was called names, taunted, and even physically assaulted, and the schools in VA did absolutely nothing to ensure the safety and well-being of my son. We talked to teachers, counselors, the principal, and even the superintendent, and no one did ANYTHING to stop the daily torture my son endured. It literally took leaving the state of Virginia and giving him a fresh start here in Ohio for Kyle to finally be comfortable in his own skin.
Kyle has tons of friends now, and he is part of a lot of extra-curricular activities. He is not ashamed of who he is anymore. In fact, he embraces it. This brings me so much joy finally seeing my baby happy, and I show my pride in any way that I can.
Recently, I was introduced to a wonderful company that offers a HUGE variety of durable labels and decals that can be used to personalize ...EVERYTHING! They offer labels for shoes and clothing, labels for school books and supplies, and they even offer some really neat wall decals, keyboard decals or "keycals", and even some great labels suitable for all those "gifts in a jar" that are so popular around the Holidays.
Kidecals are unique because of their beautiful styles and their unmatched durability. These labels are laundry-proof and even dishwasher safe! This is thanks to their super-strong vinyl and top-coat used. While these labels are almost indestructible, they are also very easy to remove when you're ready for a change. Pretty neat, right?
We received some round Rainbow labels, as well as a rainbow set of keyboard stickers to check out for ourselves. Because...well...My son wanted the rainbows. You know...Gay Pride. So if the boy wants rainbows, rainbows he shall receive! So he got his colorful labels and I got my rainbow "keycals" to help show my LGBT support, too.
I was delighted to find that with Kidecals, this has not been the case at all. These labels definitely live up to their promise of extreme durability! I had Kyle put his labels on his school books, binders, folders, and even on the tags of his gym clothes. Even though my teen is rough on his school supplies, these labels have stayed in place perfectly. There aren't any corners peeling, no scratches...Nothing! They look as though they were just applied.
This even goes for his gym clothes, which have been laundered 3 times with the labels on the tags. I was really shocked to see that they, too, stayed in place and look as good as new.
I also really like my Keyboard Stickers from Kidecals. They fit the keys on my MacBook Pro perfectly, and they definitely give my laptop a fun appearance. It took me a while to get them centered perfectly on each key. You want to be sure that everything is lined up properly, otherwise the finished result may look a little sloppy. So take your time, and make sure that these stickers are centered properly.
As far as the keyboard stickers go, the only issue I have had are with the "J" and "F" keys. These have a small, raised bump on them, and the stickers are a wee bit raised where these bumps are located. Still, they have not peeled off, and they look great!
Overall, I would definitely recommend Kidecals to anyone looking for fun, colorful ways to personalize their family's belongings. These are perfect for school, for sports, and even for daycare centers. With so many fun, durable designs to choose from, you're sure to find something for every member of the family!
Connect With Kidecals :
They even offer FREE SHIPPING on ALL ORDERS, no matter how small!
You can also connect with them on Facebook, on twitter, and on Pinterest to stay on top of their latest products and promotions!

The opposition leader Kizza Besigye was dragged from his car at gunpoint by police yesterday and thrown into a pick-up truck during a fifth round of protests against high food and fuel prices.
It was the fourth time in three weeks that Mr Besigye, runner-up to President Yoweri Museveni in a disputed February election, has been detained over the protests which have killed at least five people. Mr Museveni, in power since 1986, blames drought and high oil prices for the soaring cost of living.

rasha, these are very basic questions you're asking. You've told us you are doing a degree in sociolinguistics (or something similar). Have your teachers given you no advice, no textbooks or suggested readings? If not, my advice would be to buy a book on Introductory Sociolinguistics, then do some reading and study.
An internet search for "language contact" (Google) brings up hundreds of relevant links*. I'd suggest that, if you are making this your field of study, do 4 - 6 months of reading and thinking first, then ask again about things you have persistent problems with. This is your course of study.

"First of many visits to this incredible Hotel!"
Our first visit to Mackinac and our first stay at this Hotel will definitely bring us back again. The staff was absolutely professional and could not have been any more accommodating. The room had that quintessential Mackinac Island flair and decoration, very comfortable with lovely amenities. The hotel's setting on the water at the end of town could not have been better, 50 steps away from the ferry! Just wonderful!

"Great Find"
Beautiful hotel with a great view and excellent service. Well worth it. Every room is decorated differently. The entire staff sees that your expectations are met to detail. We will come back to the island and stay here again.
William J, Twin Lakes, Wisconsin -
This was our first time visiting Mackinac Island. We stayed at the Iroquois a hotel. I can't say enough good things about it. The cleanliness and the service were terrific. The staff made us feel right at home. It was also conveniently located next to the ferry dock. The rooms and the view were awesome. We would definitely stay here again.
Dawn S, Palos Park, Illinois -
"Lovely Hotel"
We stayed in a first floor room with a direct view of the strait and the lighthouse and had a private balcony. The king bed had wonderful linens and extra pillows that I had requested. The room appeared to have been recently updated, had beautiful colors and comfortable chairs. The room was very clean and serviced twice daily. The location is great, close to everything in town. Staying here was a first class experience and we will definitely return.
Elaine B, Newnan, Georgia -
"Wonder Inn"
This was our third year staying at the Iroquois. We love the room with mesmerizing view of the lakes and bridge. The sound of the waves lapping on the shore makes it almost impossible to get out of bed. Besides the lovely flowers, nice location, pretty inn and great restaurant, it is the staff that make us return. They seem to truly love their job and are always helpful. Have stayed a few other fancy hotels on the island in the past and would never think of staying elsewhere.

Someone might think that I posted this for them – they'd be right :-))
Single capture; no additions, textures or collage; and no Photoshop.
No that's for sure. I thought about B+W, but was seduced by the colour – she'll just have to get used to it :D
She's still using her mum's 1960's TV. I have seen some colour recently, but not many. We're in for now Lois, she'll be home soon, I think, duck :-))
haha i was in her working establishment today, not exactly sure which one was her though.
and I just thought, in french "ailes" (wings) has the same sound as "elle"
yes, We are angels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bien sûr vous "elles" êtes des anges. Pourtant je ne suis pas sûr que ceux-là dans ce magasin ont des ailes. Melbourne aime voler des mots français pour sembler le chic!
Trust you to find this!!! Hehee, of course, am delighted :D
… though, wondering if a half serious admonishing finger still needs to be waved at both of you ;-) … just kidding! :o))
The French have a saying that goes like "you only tease the one's you love", so keep you finger in its holster, Calmity Jane :))) You'll find this "house of angels" (see 1morephoto above) in the Australia On Collins building. Happy hunting!
Very nice work
Thanks again Athex. Australia On Collins is a great hunting ground for weird photos.
What a beautiful composition and the colors are excellent! Great job!!
Thank you Merlina! How did you find this image buried so deep in my gallery. So glad you did, it's been neglected for too long.
I followed a path to your portfolio, I liked what I saw and took the time to look at almost every photo. Beautiful beautiful portfolio you have. I enjoyed them all!
Oh Merlina, what a wonderful thing to say! It's always exciting when some finds their way to your gallery and spends some time their. I will visit yours soon to see how Spain is, it's been too too long since I was there – photos are such a great way to revisit. Thank you so much.
Oh! With a little help, now I get the "in" joke. Cool!

How to Choose the Best Mortgage
Buying a home is probably the largest purchase you'll make in your lifetime. And choosing the right type of mortgage loan is one of the most important decisions you'll make in the homebuying process. With so many different options out there, it can be hard to find an affordable home loan that meets your financial goals.
Start by asking yourself "How much house can I afford?" After taking inventory of your debts, credit score, income and other monthly bills, you can make an informed decision about the terms of your mortgage.
Here are three key loan decisions you'll need to make.
Mortgage type: Government-backed or conventional
There are two main types of mortgages: a conventional loan guaranteed by a private lender or banking institution, or a government-backed loan.
Most government-backed mortgages come in one of three forms:
- FHA loans, insured by the Federal Housing Administration, were established to make homebuying more affordable, especially for first-time buyers, by allowing down payments as low as 3.5% of the purchase price.
- VA loans are insured by the Department of Veterans Affairs and offer buyers low- or no down payment options and competitive mortgage rates. They're available to current military service members and veterans only.
- USDA loans are backed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and are geared toward rural property buyers who meet income requirements.
All three programs follow the limits for conforming loans and have low down payment requirements. More on that later.
Conventional loans, on the other hand, are offered and backed by private entities such as banks, credit unions, private lenders or savings institutions. Borrowers need good credit to qualify. This is because the loans aren't guaranteed by an outside source — so the possibility of borrower default poses a greater risk for lenders.
Conventional loans have terms of 10, 15, 20 or 30 years. They also require much larger down payments than government-backed loans. Borrowers are expected to put down at least 5%, but that amount can vary based on the lender and the borrower's credit history.
If you don't have a lot of cash saved up for a down payment but have solid credit and a stable income, a government-backed loan is likely the way to go. Keep in mind that if you choose a conventional or government-backed loan and you're making less than a 20% down payment, you'll have to pay for private mortgage insurance.
If you can afford to save up a large down payment and build your credit score while lowering your debt-to-income ratio, a conventional loan is a great choice that can eliminate some of the extra fees and higher interest rates that may come with a government-backed loan.
» MORE: Calculate your monthly mortgage payment.
Interest rate: Fixed or adjustable
Once you've chosen your loan, you'll decide whether you want a fixed or an adjustable rate. Your choice determines the interest you'll be charged.
The interest rate on a fixed-rate loan never changes. If you're settled in your career, have a growing family and are ready to set down some roots, a 15- or 30-year fixed-rate loan might be your best bet, because you'll always know what your monthly mortgage payment will be. It's worth noting, though, that if other fees are rolled into your monthly mortgage payment, such as annual property taxes or homeowner's association dues, there may be some fluctuation over time.
Adjustable-rate mortgages, or ARMs, have interest rates that reset at specific intervals. They typically begin with lower interest rates than fixed-rate loans, sometimes called teaser rates. After the initial term ends, the interest rate — and your monthly payment — increases or decreases annually based on an index, plus a margin. They most often appeal to younger, more mobile buyers who plan to stay in their homes for just a few years or refinance when the teaser rate is about to end. Paying a lower interest rate in those initial years could save hundreds of dollars each month that could fund other investments.
Loan size: Conforming or non-conforming
The amount of money you borrow tells your lender a lot about your level of risk — and it has a big impact on your interest rate. For this reason, home loans fall into two main size categories: conforming and non-conforming.
Conforming loans meet the loan limit guidelines set by government-sponsored mortgage associations Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In 2016, conforming home loans for single-family homes in most of the continental U.S. are limited to $417,000. In designated high-cost areas, such as Hawaii and Alaska, the conforming loan limit for single-family homes goes up to $625,500.
Loans can be non-conforming for a few different reasons. Some, called jumbo loans, are for borrowers whose loan amounts are higher than the conforming loan limits in their areas. Jumbo loans are considered riskier and come with higher interest rates to protect lenders. You'll need to make a larger down payment (at least 20%) and have pristine credit to qualify for one. Other types of non-conforming loans include those made to borrowers with poor credit, high debt or recent bankruptcies.
If you want to stay within conforming loan limits so you get a lower interest rate, you'll need to tailor your home search to properties priced below the loan limit for your area. If you want a house that's priced above your local limit, you can still qualify for a conforming loan if you have a big enough down payment to bring the loan amount down below the limit.
The bottom line
All of these options might seem overwhelming at first glance. But bear in mind that the type of loan you wind up getting will depend largely on your credit profile, income and overall financial goals. Before you start shopping for a home loan, take complete stock of your finances and try to boost your credit score as much as possible.
If you need guidance, contact a lender or mortgage broker in your area to help you crunch the numbers and explore your options.

Ivy Covered Cottage
13 comments:
Thanks for the comments. These are pictures of my parents house that I thought you might enjoy. When we were up their for homecoming the ivy seemed to be at its peak of perfection. I will add more details when I can figure out how the text part of blogger works on this computer, very strange indeed.
SueThe photos you've taken really capture the beauty of your parents home! I especially like the one of the foyer with their curving staircase reflected in the mirror. Right out of the pages of a magazine or book. I drive by their home so often with my mind on other things and neglect to take in the beauty of their cottage. Thanks for sharing your lovely photos. So glad to hear you got your new computer - good luck with the learning process!
ReplyDeleteGood morning to you Sue! I love your parents' home and can easily see why it is your number one favorite! I do believe it would be one of mine, too. I bet that you enjoy your visits there as well. Is this the home that you grew up in? Thank you for sharing and thank you for visiting my blog! :) Smiles to you, Becky
I added you to my lovely places to visit, thanks for adding me to Lavender Hill Studio.
The answer to, "Is this the home that you grew up in?", is yes and no. They moved in about 30 years ago. My house was 2 blocks away and most mornings Grama was making pancakes for my kids in her kitchen. We spent a lot of time there and during the last 30 years of my 55 years I did some major growing up and hope to continue the trend, so that's the yes part.the house looks exactly bar the quantity of yorkshire paving stones in like my friend katharina wolpes house, with ivy hanging from the wall. and such a beautiful place to grow up in. what a treat.
what grew on only one side of the house, entrancing her huge garden and i could smell the flowers coming into my window. i put my bed next to the window and flung open the window, because the smell is most potent in the morning as the flowers unfold after hiding and creating flower smells all night while i slept.
i'd smell the flowers every morning and i'd know what time it was, because of the flowers smells opening up. they didn't smell all the time though. but in spring. wow.
and we had flowers inside the ivy on the wall completely covered with a special kind of ivy hanging. when the wall flowered all the bees would come out and you would hear the buzzing of the bees over the entire flowered wall, to collect pollen. i had the ocassional bees come in my open window in the spring, not all of them fly as high as my window. bees don't fly upwards engough for all or them to collect the pollen.
your parents are so lucky. that's so cool. i admire your house and parents.

text: In the pantheon of home invasion horror movies, "Hush" offers one unique hook: the woman struggling to survive the night is deaf. It's only a slight conceptual twist on "Wait Until Dark," the 1967 thriller with Aubrey Hepburn as a blind women facing similar circumstances. "Hush" doesn't resemble that movie much aside from its main fear factor. Writer-director Mike Flanagan's creepy follow-up to 2013's first-rate "Oculus" gives the killer a built-in advantage over his prey, while she spends the movie figuring out how to perceive his attacks. Whereas "Oculus" featured a haunted mirror that messed with its victims' perception of the world, "Hush" offers two opposing ways of experiencing it at once.

The Sysadmin's Daily Grind: Surveillance with Motion
Fish Spotting
Commercial surveillance systems are expensive and typically involve maintenance agreements. I thought there must be a low-budget alternative.
Olli and Melanie, two good friends of mine, have three stores. One of the stores has been broken into many times. Of course, they are insured against break ins, but they were concerned by the fact that nobody had been able to nail the culprits. They wondered if a surveillance system might help. Of course, turnkey surveillance systems are expensive, so my friends asked me if an old PC and a webcam would do the trick. Now, I do own a webcam, but up to that point I had only used it to point at the aquarium in my living room. I had no experience whatsoever with surveillance applications. But hey, that's what search engines are for. After a short search, I had soon found a useful application called Motion [1].

Should read the first sentence in my post before you quote it... What can you do about the software on your end? Nothing. You are arguing over a useless point anyway because no software on a large scale is ever 100% optimized so you can always say software is the bottleneck...duh. Which is why in computer engineering bottleneck is used to describe hardware limitations as it is an accepted fact of life that hardware often needs to run bad code. So what do you do about it? Add more computing power. Sure there are bottlenecks in computer science as well but those are used to describe issues in the code path which is a whole different ballgame.

Reissue of a rare 1977 fusion album by the shamanistic Cherry (1936-95), the Ornette Coleman Quartet trumpeter.
It's all over the place stylistically, from Indian mysticism to heavy metal, played by bizarre bands including Marcus Miller, Tony Williams and even Michael Brecker on sax. And yet at least a couple of the tracks – the opening "Mahakali", with Moki (Neneh's mum) on tamboura; and "Universal Mother", on which Cherry raps about his Watts childhood, are amazing, presaging Bill Laswell's funky world-fusion.
