Victor Hill has been reelected as sheriff of Clayton County. However, he may not be allowed to serve. Hill is facing dozens of criminal charges.
His challenger was write-in candidate Garland Watkins, and he received 21 percent of the vote.Hill, the former Clayton County sheriff, beat the current sheriff, Kem Kimbrough, in the Democratic primary and was unopposed by a Republican. Hill faces 32 charges in a corruption case while he was sheriff between 2005 and 2008. His trial was to start later this month, but has been delayed.Watkins, a 27-year veteran of the Clayton County Sheriff's Department, is currently the chief deputy.While Hill appeared to get the majority of votes on Tuesday, an election officer said they will have to count every vote by hand. They will have to print out reports and look at each write-in ballot, which could take some time.FOX 5 tried to speak with Hill on Tuesday, but he hasn't talked publicly or to the media for several months.

Biographical Note/Historical Note +/-
Charles Eric "Chuck" Peterson was born June 4, 1914 in North Ogden, Utah, the son of Charles Eric Peterson and Dora Ann Brown, and raised in Ogden, Utah by his grandfather, Charles Alma Peterson after the death of his father. Chuck later graduated from Weber State College and the University of Chicago. Charles married Harriet May Robison October 4, 1935 in Chicago, Illinois, later solemnized in the Salt Lake Temple. Chuck's greatest love was for his family. Their children are Charles Eric "Charlie", Ida Joan, Kent Davis, and Steven James. A member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints all his life, Chuck served as high counselor, bishop, stake president, President of the Chicago South Mission, and home teacher. Chuck loved political life and served his community and state in many positions. Six governors appointed him to various committees and leadership positions. He served five years on the Coordinating Counsel for Higher Education and as Vice Chair for ten years on the Board of Regents as well as on the Utah Highway Patrol Commission. Chuck served six years in the State House of Representatives, two years as Majority Leader and two years as Speaker of the House, and eight years in the State Senate and was a delegate almost every year of his life in Utah to the Republican State Convention.

text: It warmed a mother's heart to see the reaction my athlete daughter had to Lindsey Vonn standing by her man, Tiger Woods at The Players Championship. Every time they fixated the camera on the championship skier and her beatific smile, I feared for the health of my HD TV. Apparently, my well raised child doesn't find him to be a suitable suitor for her fellow skier. Yeah. I second that emotion.

After debate and discussion that went late into Friday night, the Texas Senate has approved the abortion legislation passed by the state house earlier this week.
The final vote, on the third reading of the bill, was 19-11. It will now head to Governor Rick Perry's desk for his signature. He has already pledged to sign it.
Once signed by Governor Perry, the new law would, among other things, ban abortions after 20 weeks, and only allow abortions only in designated surgical centers.
Out of 42 existing abortion clinics in Texas, only five meet the requirements to be a surgical center without doing any upgrades.
Similar legislation has been passed in Ohio, Wisconsin, Arizona, Oklahoma, Alabama, and Mississippi.
As with the house debate, protestors were very vocal in their support/criticism of the bill.
The Texas Department of Public Safety inspected all bags before crowds could enter the senate gallery. During the inspections, DPS officers discovered at least one jar suspected to contain urine, 18 jars suspected to contain feces, and three bottles suspected to contain paint.
In a statement released just after the vote, Governor Perry said, "Today the TexasLegislature took its final step in our historic effort to protect life. Thislegislation builds on the strong and unwavering commitment we have made todefend life and protect women's health. I am proud of our lawmakers, andcitizens who tirelessly defended our smallest and most vulnerable Texans andfuture Texans."

Protective 7
By Pelegrino
from Lubbock, Texas
Comments about Protective 7" Tablet Case:
I use these cases for digital medial devices such as BluRay/DVD portable drives or power supply cases. I would prefer the insert on the left side to be removable since it just takes up space in my applications. The different colors enable me to know which item is inside. I travel internationally and never had any item damaged.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great Case for 7" Samsung Tablet
By KS user
from Overland Park, KS
We bought these cases for our Samsung 7" tablets. They were the best cases that we could find. Most of the other stores didn't carry cases that fit as well as this one. This case is nicely padded and holds the tablets in the cases tightly. The zipper on the outside of the case is a nice way to store the case. Highly recommend this case!

Comments about Universal Neoprene Pocket:
Perfect pouch for a Droid Global2. I tried two others including a zippered pouch from Case Logic, but this seems the easiest and least likely to result in a dropped device. The zippered opouch can be left unzipped, and is a bit too large.

By JULIE
from Vashon, WA
It is amazing how much I use this and how I find that I want more of them. I use one for an iPod Touch and headphones, another for my cell phone -- and I want at least 2 more.The size is perfect, and things don't slip out. I wish they were more easily available at a local store -- and I think about 20 different colors and styles are needed as only 3 are not enough, since I could seriously use 10 of these and would like to be able to differentiate by color.Great product -- highly recommended.

By PAULA
from L.A., CA
Be very careful with this case. After just a week of using it, the strip attached to the safety hook came off (it is glued instead of sewed) and I lost the case with my iphone, credit cards and license. Fortunately the guy who found it on the street was a honest person and returned the case with everything in. However my iPhone was damaged (dented and scratched from the fall). It's a shame because the case's design is very good and practical but the quality of the product is not.

By DENISE
from San Leandro, CA
I love the neoprene pocket. I believe it's meant for a digital camera but I use it for my Droid X phone. Therefore, it's a teensy bit small for my phone but it's still workable. I'd love to find one specifically for smart phones. The quality is good and of course they had my color, pink!

Miss Clara Harmolean "Diddle" Rowe was one of the finest individuals I have ever known. She lived in Ruston all of her life, never married, was a life-long member of Temple Baptist Church, and was the City of Ruston's Treasurer for many years.
Until the day she died in 1995, Diddle was a Yellow Dog Democrat. Wikipedia defines that as being someone from the Southern United States who votes solely for democratic candidates.Subscribe to Read!

I know I'm a little weird. Most people in radio are! I have had my Barbie since I was 7 years old. I'm not going to give away my age, but she's been around the block a time or two. In the last several years I've taken her to many places and documented it. Yesterday we just got back from a vacation to St. Thomas and the Virgin Islands, and of course I took her with me. It got me to thinking about all the places and things she has done, and I thought it would be fun to share Barbie's adventures with you!
This was Barbie's first trip she ever took out of the country! She went to the Island of St. Kitts in 2008. She even has a passport! My friend thought she needed some new clothes, so she bought her this cute outfit! (She hadn't had new clothes for over 30 years!) This is her ready to head to the airport.
This is Barbie just getting ready to go to The Farmer's Market when she lived in Springfield, Missouri. She has her strawberry leggings on in hopes to find fresh strawberries!
This was Barbie's 2nd trip. She went to The Riviera Maya in Mexico! She's sipping a nice island cocktail here.
Here's Barbie with an issue of a local magazine. She sent it in to the magazine in hopes of making the cover. It didn't happen. Poor Barbie! Always out for fame!
This is when she was planning for her second trip to St. Kitts, in the West Indies. I told her that boots really were'nt a good look for the beach. She never listens to me!!
OH NO! Barbie was over-served!!!!! Bad Barbie!!!!
Here she is re-hydrating after that crazy night last night!! Whew!!! A little water, a mimosa and coffee.
Laying out in the sun. She's not feeling too well after last night. A day in the sun will make it all better. UH OH! Her glasses are a bit crooked.
Another day on the beach in St. Kitts!!! That's the Island of Nevis in the background. It's in the British West Indies.
This was taken last year. It was a road trip to Kentucy for a friend's wedding. She likes to ride shot-gun, because she insists on controlling the radio. She really loves Blake Shelton--watch out Miranda!!
This was taken in Des Moines, Iowa. Happy hour. I hope she can behave!!!
No such luck. She is ALWAYS the life of the party!!!
This was taken this last Christmas, having a little Holiday fun!! She has this thing for Elves!
She likes to come to work with me. She wants to talk on the air, but never really has anything to say.
She got tired of the Elf. Now her latest taste in men are movie star cowboys!!!
The cowboy broke her heart. She had to get away and forget about that relationship. This was taken last week in St. Thomas
On a boat headed for the British VIrgin Islands. So excited!!! She's so glad she brought her passport, or she wouldn't be able to go there!
Just soaking a little Caribbean sun!! ahhhhhh!!!! It's great to be Barbie!!!!
The last leg of her vacation last week. She found a private island on St. John!!! She's getting ready to build a Barbie Dream House Sand Castle!
That's the adventures of my Barbie! There's many more to come!

Dead Bodies on a Train
"A dream is an invaluable commentator and illuminator of life. Listen to the wisdom of the dream." Carl Jung
Dear Lauri, I am waiting for a train. A white train finally comes along. When I got on, I saw there were dead bodies wrapped from top to toe in white bandages placed on the seats. I realized that it was the mortuary train. I walked around and was puzzled that two or three men were alive and standing up with just their bottoms wrapped in bandage (like a diaper). They were waiting for the rest of their body to be wrapped up. This disturbed me so much, I woke up. – Greer 62, UK
Lauri: What in waking life are you waiting for? What seems to be taking a long time to happen? The fact that you are waiting for a train is a clue. It suggests that you may be wondering if you are "on the right track" as far as a certain idea or goal is concerned. Since the train is white it may mean a new direction is needed or you may need to start over in some way. Once embarking you discover that it is a mortuary train... yikes! This is a good indication that you may feel you are headed towards a "dead end" in some area of your life. As disturbing as the dream is, it is giving you a solution, and that solution comes in the form of the men that are still alive. Those men represent your male qualities, meaning the parts of you that can be assertive, take action, "grow a pair" and get the job done. Grab hold of and use these powerful qualities before they "die off."
Greer replies: I've been out of work for twelve months!! I was hoping for a dream that would point me in the right direction. Now it seems everything is pointing me to go in a different direction. Thank you for this interpretation.

Movie posters for a new movie about Princess Diana are starting to go up. However, one particular spot where the movie is being advertised is sparking outrage among fans of the late royal.
If you've seen a poster or any of the pictures from the set of the movie "Diana," starring Naomi Watts, you'd think she was the real deal. That's why the movie poster in Paris is all the more disturbing.
The poster featuring Watts dressed as Diana stands at the entrance to the Paris tunnel where Princess Diana died in a car crash in 1997.
It's also just feet away from the Flame of Liberty statue, which has become known as an unofficial memorial for her. One of Diana's closet confidantes said she never expected marketers to "stoop so low."
The late Princess of Wales died in August 1997, when she and Dodi Al-Fayed were being chased by paparazzi through the tunnel. Diana, Dodi, and their driver were all killed. The movie is loosely based on Diana's relationship with another man, Doctor Hasnat Khan, a Pakistani heart surgeon she dated until just months before her death.
The company for marketing the film has not commented, but a spokesman for the city said that all the posters were displayed legally.
The movie opened this past weekend in Paris and last month in England. It will open next month here in the us.
The movie currently has a 4.6/10 on IMDB and a 3% Tomatometer on Rotten Tomatoes.

Packers Head Coach Mike McCarthy said late this morning, a decision on Bryan Bulaga's status for the season has not been made. Bulaga reportedly suffered at least a partial tear of his anterior cruciate ligament on the 7th play of the Family Night Scrimmage Saturday night. He continued to play with the first team offensive line for a total of 30 plays. Initial reports had Bulaga likely to have reconstructive surgery but over the weekend, he decided to seek a second opinion and McCarthy said Bulaga is "still hopeful" of being able to play this season.
McCarthy also announced Jordy Nelson underwent a procedure on his knee that will keep him out for the rest of the Pre-Season. Nelson likely had an arthroscopic procedure done and McCarthy expects him to still be ready for the regular season opener against San Francisco.
There was more injury news from today's practice. Datone Jones sat out with illness, Alex Green has a knee issue, Ryan Taylor also injured his knee last Saturday night and he could be out a couple of weeks. Randall Cobb injured his biceps at practice and Johnny Jolly had to leave with cramps.
McCarthy said the signing of Vince Young was done to increase the competition level at the quarterback position. He admits Young has a lot of catching up to do, learning the new system and hot having been in an NFL camp since he was released from Buffalo at the end of last summer's camp. Young took only a couple of reps in team drills in his first practice today.

Certainly you would expect the Renewable Fuels Association to insist the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) stand by it's documented direction for RFS (Renewable Fuels Standard) for the year 2014. The latest move against RFS for next year is laid out in a letter to EPA by Congressman Bob Goodlatte, Republican from Virginia and cosigned by several of his colleagues, calling for a reduction in the 2014 RFS blending requirements.
As I understand it, the addition of biofuel - ethanol is the best example - to gasoline at the rate of ten percent - - or the fifteen percent that is coming - - means that less petroleum product is required to fill your tank. 10% ethanol plus 90% petroleum product - - - and so on. There's been a lot of noise recently about potential problems that have been test-proven to be unworthy of concern; challenged by various lab reports touting real value in the biofuel industry. That would include the most recent revelation of a list of automobiles equipped with engines proven to thrive on E-15. That assurance comes from the auto builders themselves. The list covers 70% of the Top 20 best-selling models for 2014. A complete list of makes and models 2012, 2013, 2014 approved for E15 use is available at www.Ethanol/RFA.org, or www.ChooseEthanol.com.
You've heard about - seen on TV, the oil industry's savaging of the ethanol concept - -an attack blown away by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's report that reviewed 43 auto engine studies and found no data to support Big Oil's stories of engine failure on E15. My own view is, that it's good for the economy, and national pride, to be weaning ourselves from dependence on foreign-produced oil. A lot of folks seem to have lost track of the major motive boosting alternative fuel. It was not necessarily to save money at the pump, although that should happen; it surely was not intended primarily to make corn significantly more valuable, although that happened, and is happening. It was, and is, intended, literally, to become alternative to petroleum motor fuels.
Oh, my goodness - maybe that's why the American Petroleum Institute and its members are so adamantly opposed to Renewable Fuels!
Michigan State University's Bill Knudson, marketing specialist at the MSU Product Center concludes that if the Renewable Fuels Standards (RFS) is eliminated, Michigan would lose 260 plus million dollars from lower corn prices; almost 173 million dollars in reduced ethanol production; and 288 million dollars in the ethanol industry specifically, and in the general economy. Those dollar numbers are based on analysis conducted by the Center for Agriculture and Rural Development at Iowa State University. The number of jobs to be lost is a very conservative estimate, in that the number of jobs to be lost in the farming sector is more difficult.

ATLANTA (RNN) – Chane Behanan and Peyton Siva combined for 25 second-half points and Louisville staved off a late Michigan surge as the Cardinals took their third NCAA basketball title with an 82-76 win over the Wolverines.
Louisville had to come from behind for the second time in the Final Four, falling behind by as much as 12 in the first half. But Luke Hancock started hitting from outside, as he did to fuel the semifinal win over Wichita State, and drained four straight 3-pointers on a 14-point run to rally the Cardinals to trail by one at the midpoint, 38-37.
"We went to work there against a great Michigan team," said Hancock who finished with a team-high 22 points and was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player. "We had to wait and make our run."
Behanan scored 15 points - 11 in the second half - and pulled down 12 rebounds to draw praise from head coach Rick Pitino.
"Chane Behanan's guts on the backboards is the reason we're standing here right now," he said, as his team passed the championship trophy around and confetti swirled in the Georgia Dome, where more than 70,000 fans watched.
"It was as good as it gets," Pitino said. "They executed almost every play to perfection."
Louisville, which was the tournament's No. 1 overall seed, took the lead for good 49-47 with just under 14 minutes left to play when Behanan sank a pair of free throws.
Despite never building a big lead, the Cardinals remained in complete control of the game the rest of the way. Tough play in the paint and Behanan's rebounding kept Michigan from getting many chances on second-period possessions.
UL took its longest lead, 78-70 on a Behanan layup with just under two minutes left then made all four free throws down the stretch to hold on.
Siva, a senior guard, closed his career with 18 points, 14 in the second half, and five assists. Louisville finishes with a 35-5 record.
National player-of-the-year Trey Burke led Michigan with 24 points after sitting out all but six minutes of the first half in foul trouble. Freshman Spike Albrecht took over at point guard and scored all 17 of his points in the first period, throwing in 6-of-7 threes to help the Wolverines build their early lead.
Glenn Robinson III and Tim Hardaway Jr. scored 12 each for Michigan, a late-bloomer this year that finished fourth in the Big 10 and powered its way through the bracket from a No. 4 seed. UM ends its season 31-8.
"We fought for 40 minutes," Burke said. "There was never a point in time where we gave up. Louisville was just a really solid team at the end of the game. I felt like we could have turned them over a couple more times, but they took care of the ball and they hit foul shots."
Michigan coach John Beilein said he hopes his team won't focus on the loss but the accomplishment of making it so far instead. And he said he hopes to see a few smiles on their faces when they get on a plane Tuesday.
"If they're not smiling, we are going to make them smile," Beilein said. "They're terrific young people. As I said, we are the luckiest coaching staff in the world to be able to coach these guys."
It was Louisville's first national title since 1986. The Cardinals also won the NCAA title in 1980.
Pitino became the first men's basketball coach to win national titles at two different schools. His Kentucky team won the national title 17 years ago.
"It's just, for us, been an incredible run with the most wonderful young men I had the pleasure to be around," Pitino said of the season. "I am so proud of them."

Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a highly contagious virus that causes an infection with symptoms similar to those of a moderate to severe cold. RSV infection usually resolves on its own and does not cause major health concerns, but it can become a problem when it is severe or leads to pneumonia, bronchiolitis, or other complications.
Babies (especially those born prematurely or with heart or lung problems), people with immune system problems, and adults age 65 and older have an increased risk of developing complications from RSV infection.
Although reinfection with RSV is common throughout life, the first infection usually causes the most severe symptoms. Almost all children become infected with RSV by the age of 2 years.

Favorite Shows
Why I Hate house hunting shows
I love to cook and would much rather have a small kitchen. I do all my prep work on a counter space about 3 feet long. Any thing bigger then that is superfluous. Americans want big kitchens for no other reason then the obnoxious belief that bigger is better. Find a cook and you will find a person who wants everything within easy reach. Having said that , that is the reason I really find all the house hunting shows so annoying.
Don't blame the show, blame the house hunters....
Most of those people are kids. I struggle with these shows because of these ignorant couples -namely the girlfriend/wife and her pettiness. It pains me to see them strut into a home as start speaking like they are the utmost authority on homes. They sound ridiculous. Another issue I have is how some do not financially contribute to the house but yet has the most input on what house to buy. Really? Or have a kid/kids and demand on a bigger home for more kids -and you see the disdain in the husband's face because he wasn't planning on it. LOL!
Numerous articles have been written and numerous posts have been dedicated to this subject. I myself have been reprimanded for my use of the term "scripted". As it turns out, the participants are given "recomendations" as to what topics they "might" discuss during their bogus journey through the homes they have no intention of buying.
Like you said, Charles...scripted
Does anyone know what the "hunters" receive in compensation for their appearance on these shows?
Two friends of my daughter appeared on one episode. They discussed the "script"ing and the fact that they had already bought the house (so the search itself is fake), but they said nothing about compensation, so I assume there is none. But that makes me wonder why appear at all???????
I'm so sure the word "spacious" is a requirement to be on the show..... it seems every looker uses the word.
I just change the channel when House Hunters comes on
I am pretty sure that they get something for their troubles, but I am sure that they sign contracts on what they can divulge and what they can't say to anyone.
I am completely convinced that these program have brainwashed the new generation into what their needs are versus their wants. How many buy the homes that they buy, is still a mistery to me, according to their professions they don't seem to me to be able to afford many of the houses the they buy. but they never get into many of the factors that are necessary when you buy a house. so, let's simply enjoy the program and enjoy the houses, and let reality for another show.
rker, I used to enjoy HHI to see how "the other half" live, but even that palled after I found out the hunt was fake. And as for the houses shown in this country, they are just plain boring.
They all want ugly dated granite counter tops too! Ick! Stuck in the 1990's? I would like some more people looking at Eichlers and Craftsmans like they had on awhile ago.
Maybe HH was better when they were in Los Angeles suburbs, where homes were so expensive that people focused more on location and affordability than granite, SS, and hardwood floors.
I love HH... am watching last night's right now.... good thing I can't reach through the TV and strangle the wife.... she wants to paint rustic beams white.....
I agree about granite and craftsman houses.... ad what's with 20 year olds who need 3500sf, granite and stainless and 20X30 bedrooms? Good grief.
How can someone have a problem with stainless steel and use the name "Airstreamingypsy?"
Good question.
Did I read correctly? granite dated? so90's ? gee. and I have been the one that always thought that granite was a pretty ugly stone. LOL
Hahahaha... Chuck Steak.....
Actually, Airstreams are made of aluminum..... (c:
I've never liked the look of granite... or the feel. I like quartz and concrete for counters.....
rker and airstreamin, I guess we were all ahead of our time. I was tired of granite within two minutes of the first time I saw it. Too busy for me. I have quartz but if money were no object, I think I'd have soapstone.
Ohhh... I should have also said soapstone... I love it, its gorgeous! I agree that granite is too busy.... I'd rather do a fun backsplash and a plainer counter.
I am so glad to hear many of your comments, a couple of years back, when I made the mistake in saying that granite would be passe, they almost stoned me to death, and said that I didn't know what I was saying.
Well, I guess that now, people realize that granite is for many not a stone that they would put in their kitchen. I agree, granite is much too much of a busy stone. don't care for it, and never did.
I've been wondering about the owners of the houses that the buyers turn their noses up at. (Grammar??) Anyway, if I was the owner of some of those houses, my feelings would really be hurt. Sometimes the buyers make fun of the decorating, or colors, or call the whole house a gut job. I feel sorry for the owners, having that said about their houses on national TV.
I saw today a program called MY First Place that really surprised me. First time buyers that actually act and respond like normal human beings,no attitude, or stupid remarks, and all of them wanting to buy homes below to what they were approved by their banks, and willing to put a decent downpayment. I saw several of those episode this morning and coulnd't believe what I was seeing, they all had different Realtors, no adding your downpayment to the amount that you were approved by the banks, Has anyone here seen that program? it was such a pleasant surprise that I don't doubt that it has been cancelled for no drama, just actual facts and really normal people.
I've always like that show.
I like the show too. I haven't seen any new episodes although someone here said there are a few. I haven't been able to find them.
You must have seen a really "good batch" as there are also buyers that are as demanding as the HH's buyers.
I saw that episode also and was soooo pleasantly surprised that the young couple was positive, upbeat and made very few negative and snobish-like remarks about the houses they toured.
While the hubby was disappointed in the backyard of the house they bought, he said he realized that "No house is perfect."
What a great attitude, huh?
It is amazing to me that 20 somethings have all this money for a huge "first home". With college kids "looking for work"...I wonder if mommy and daddy are "kicking in" for the house. Something my parents would never have done. You've got to crawl before you walk. Property Virgins and the Property Brothers really hit on on the "reality" of buying a home.
I LOVE house hunting shows because they are the nearest thing on tv to a travel program. Travel channel has nothing but disgusting food shows and contests. The thing I agree with is that the people doing the hunting are extremely spoiled, greedy and ignorant. Talk about the "ugly American" - these people personify that. I just watched one in Costa Rica where these Californians were looking for a house on a fireman's pension (of all things) and their expectations were ridiculous. I'm tired of hearing about things being "dated" and "small" when they are perfectly fine for any normal family. The whining is really obnoxious. They also made some comment about "losing" their house because it was worth less than they owed. You don't lose your house over that.
My generation went through a period of being underwater in the 80's and we didn't run away. We paid the mortgage and waited for the market to recover.
Real people with reasonable wants and needs would make Househunters my favorite program. As it is, when they start talking about budgets I tend to tune it out and just look at the pretty pictures.
I saw one the other night that was ridiculous...
The couple was looking for their "First Place," but they refused to even consider a house that their dog "Butters" didn't like.
I understand wanting a house with a yard that is adequate for your pet, but they were obsessive and unbelievably adamant about the dog "approving" the property.
I was sitting there in bewilderment and wondering what's gonna happen when or if they have kids?
1. Will "Butters" get jealous?
2. Will they make sure "Butters" approves of their decision to start a family?
3. Will they move again, because... Well, you know the baby will HAVE to feel comfortable with the house too.
I saw the same show, and my husband and I couldn't stop laughing. If they were really real and the whole thing wasn't scripted, I wonder what their reactions was when they saw themselves on National TV showing off their amazing stupidity.
hahahaha! I remember "Butters" I would buy a place with a good yard for my dogs, but they don't get to participate in the decision.
They probably feel that they were victimized by whoever it was who made them purchase their over-priced home at gunpoint.
Little kids and dogs like to go wherever their parents are. All that talk about "Junior really loves his new room" is so silly. Because you've asked him a zillion times, "You like your new room, don't you?" and he responded? And as for Fido, he just wants to know where his bowls are.
Considering the age of many of the buyers, I don't see how any of them can keep up the mortgage payments.... who gets approved for a 350,000.00 house when they are still in college? I think that's why so many lost their homes...
Budget. That's the one thing that strikes us as strange on these shows. How do these young people get budgets of 400,000 to a half million to spend on a first home? To make it worse the home looks like it was built in the 50's or 60's and is worth about $100,000 with no land.
I didn't think Florida was so inexpensive until I saw what some of these homes in big cities are selling for.
Life is a great big canvas...throw all the paint on it you can.
Danny Kaye
That is my husband's favorite question whenever he sees any of these programs.
I guess that there are by far too many young couple making lots of money or, you have to believe that all is TV and nothing ir real.
"I am a robot. I love the granite countertops and the stainless steel appliances. I am a robot..."
The truth is, my house looks nothing like the ones on HGTV, but I love it. The walls are covered with artwork, the kitchen has white appliances, and the ceilings are pretty low. But it all makes sense, and I don't think there's another house quite like it. That's what's missing from the house-hunting shows, any semblance of individuality. I don't hate the shows, but they have the potential effect of limiting what people might think of as a great home. And all 20 or so of the house-hunting shows are the same with only slight variations: 1. Look at three homes. 2. Choose one.
I've only seen Property Virgins once, but at least in the episode I saw, the budget of the first-time buyer seemed a bit more realistic. So I'm going to give that show another chance.
By contrast, an episode of House Hunters I saw recently claimed that the couple had a "tight" budget of $680,000. They ended up with a house with a nice open kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, not to mention dark hardwood floors and an extra "powder room"...
"I am a robot."
aricat, the final straw with me was learning that they DON'T look at three houses and choose one. They have already bought the house they "choose" on the episode plus their comments on the houses are "suggested" to them by the producers.
Yes, isn't that a hoot.!!!!!!!! they have already bought the house, way before they do the show.
And they try to tell us otherwise.
I look at HH just to see the prices in other areas, most of the time I don't agree with what they end up with.
The other day, I saw a show that the lady wanted quartz in her kitchen of a house they were selling, and she was discouraged because the husbands told her that people preferrd granite because they didn't know that quartz was a lot more expensive. Not too many know that quartz is a lot better type of stone than granite.
I don't care that they already bought the house... I watch to see the houses, and to guess which one they chose. I remember one girl walking into a house in Denver, in a short sleeve T-shirt but when they were inside, through the window, you could see it was snowing out, and the snow was deep....
in most cases i don't think wanting those things are people being robots but more wanting to protect their investment and appealing to as many buyers as possible when it comes times for possible resale.
now, my approach is to buy houses from free spirits like yourself at reduced prices because you wont have as many buyers willing to pay premium prices, then make the required superficial upgrades myself, and have instant equity.
The problem that I have with your statement that people are protecting their investment for the time of resale.
Is the fact, that if they live anywhere for over 5 years in that house, how do they know what would be fashionable at that time.
most of the homes they pick are fake LOL
I only watch for locations and scenery

Interesting article... but really folks, its a TV show..... The fun is seeing all the homes in different locations and guessing which one they'll choose.
you only know what you know at that time, and if things change, then you adjust when that happens. i feel granite is probably getting a little outdated for more sophisticated stones. also a while back i hated white cabinets but they seem to be in vogue now while cherry seems to be a little out of vogue.
You are correct, granite now I have seen many of them say " it's so 90's" LOL. which pleases me, becuase I always disliked granite, don't like busy stones. Believe me, I got beaten up too many times for saying that granite would not endure the test of time.
And yes, now is White kitchens, well, I guess that we need to really take notice when we buy a house, not on the countertops or the kitchen cabinets, or the wood floors, But on the basics,
flow or rooms, electrical issues, roofs, gutters, any really basic construction problems and then focus on what we would need to do in order to make that house our own. You can change a countertop, but you cannot change location.
i agree 100%. watching those shows and seeing people pass on houses for simple cosmetic reasons is a little frustrating. with minimal investment and a week, it can be as though the cosmetic issues never existed.

I returned to Michigan as a reporter after being away for nearly 20 years. When I was a boy, was taught almost nothing about the history of the African-American experience or the history of Detroit or even the history of my family for that matter.
Confronted by the hard realities of our time and our city, I went looking for my own story which is inextricably linked to the story of Detroit -- white, black and red. I was surprised by what I found.
In the spirit of Black History Month, this is third part of three essays, this time including a full video report of my journey through time.
Portions of these essays will appear in my upcoming book, " DETROIT: An American Autopsy," due out this fall. -- Charlie LeDuff.

DETROIT -- My grandparents touched one another for the first time some evening in 1951, drinking and dancing and romancing.
The exact date of their rendezvous is lost in time but it is quite certain they did not meet on a Monday night. Monday night was "colored" night at the Vanity Ballroom; the only night blacks were allowed in the joint.
And Roy LeDuff, my grandfather, was not black. Not anymore.
I had always been told that LeDuff was a Cajun name, with its roots in the swamps of Louisiana. But the truth is that LeDuff is a Creole name -- a culture of people with mixed blood, black and white. In the racial arithmetic of the America, that means black.
Imagine my surprise when, peeling through old government documents, I found the 1920 U.S. Census, in which my grandfather, Roy, is listed as an 8-year-old "M" -- mulatto.
I could hardly believe it. Here I was, a 44-year-old man wandering about in a city where just about every major narrative since the Civil War had been played out in black and white, only to find out what I'd been told about my grandfather's past was false.
I was told there may have been some mixing of the races in a distant wing of my family, and every LeDuff I had ever met was the color of caramel. But the fact that Grandpa himself was born black and died a white man blew me away. Not only did my blood track to the woodlands of the Great Lakes and the Celtic shores of France, but the Gold Coast of Africa, too. The African Diaspora could be traced through my own family, and it was written on paper.
I sat in my basement smoking cigarettes and looking at an old patina photograph of my great-grandmother I'd been given by a distant relative, wondering how the story of Detroit had come to this point, with General Motors bankrupt and my brother pulling out his sore tooth with a pair of pliers in a rental attic near I-275.
The name LeDuff, as far as it goes in the United States, can be traced to an 18th-century "free man of color" from New Orleans named Jacques LeDuff, whose forbears had come from Brittany, on the coast of France, and on the slave galleons from Africa.
In fact, Jacques, a man perpetually in trouble with the bill collectors, himself owned a slave named Claude, who was taken away and sold to satisfy a $100 debt in the early 19th Century.
His son Honoré -- the product of Jacques' marriage to a free black woman, or "negresse libre," named Josephine Dupar -- was a veteran of the War of 1812, who lacking much of an inheritance from his deadbeat dad, moved his family from New Orleans to Pointe Coupée Parish, about 25 miles northeast of Baton Rouge, between the Mississippi and Atchafalaya rivers.
There, his clan lived along the Mississippi River as farmers, coopers and carpenters and spoke what over a couple generations evolved into a Creole French dialect.
Honoré had many children, including Honoré Jr. who sired Donatien, an illiterate sharecropper who himself fathered six boys and a girl. Among them was Henry, my great-grandfather. According to the 1900 census, he was a 10-year-old farm laborer, unable to read or write. Fair-skinned, Henry was listed as "M" -- mulatto.
By 1910, Henry had married Inez Porche, a privileged Creole who could read and write both English and French. According to his 1917 draft registration, Henry was employed as a carpenter by Inez's family. It appears Henry, something of a hustler, may have shown up to his registration appointment in a cast, making him unfit for war service. In any event, he did not sign his own draft card. The man who signed his name for Henry listed him as "Negro."
At this point, Henry disappeared, leaving his wife and two sons in a boarding house at 110 Plum Street in East Baton Rouge with no visible means of support. Inez and her boys -- Earle and Royal, my grandfather -- were documented in the 1920 census as mulatto.
Meanwhile, Henry resurfaced in Detroit, one of the millions of blacks who would make their way north to the industrial yards to earn a new life and escape the Jim Crow South. Henry accomplished this in a most curious way.
In 1920, he was a lodger in the household of Alfred Ingersol, a machinist at a motor factory. Henry's occupation was listed as "carpentry - auto factory." And he went to work for Henry Ford. Now living a new life, he began constructing a new history. He lied to the census clerk that his mother was born in Paris and spoke only French. I found a photo of his mother. She was actually a homely mulatto about 4 feet tall and three feet wide. He also told the clerk the unimaginable -- that he was a white man, and the clerk dutifully wrote it down. "W."
The Motor City was booming then, thanks to men like Henry Ford and the Dodge brothers. In 1925, Detroit's factories employed more than 300,000 people. And thanks to Prohibition and the city's proximity to the liquor distilleries of Canada, another 50,000 were employed in the illicit sale of alcohol. There was money everywhere, and people arrived by the trainload to get theirs. From 1900 to 1930, Detroit's population exploded from 300,000 to 1.6 million. Men and women from all over the world. Men and women with histories they were free to erase and reconstruct. How many truths were buried in those years? In Detroit, who really knows their story? Growing up in the suburbs, they taught us nothing except that one hot day in 1967, the blacks went crazy and burned down the most beautiful city in America.
The adults never told us why.
Of those new people in Detroit, 120,000 were black. They were mostly poor Southerners, an epic shift in American demographics known as the Great Migration.
In the Detroit factories, blacks got the worst jobs: the foundries and grinding tables and paint shops. Because he was white, Henry was able to work as a carpenter.
In 1924, the LeDuff family reunited in Detroit. Inez and her sons left Baton Rouge by train traveling in the segregated "colored" cars.
Henry gave his wife a new house on Birwood Street on the city's west side. He also gave her a new child, a case of syphilis and a frying pan in the face when she complained about it.
He gave her one more thing. A new identity. The 1930 census shows the family living at 14103 Birwood St. in a Dutch colonial that Henry built with his own hands. The census also shows that the copper-skinned LeDuff clan, a family who had for nearly two centuries been recorded in American government records as either mulatto, negro or black, had magically been scrubbed "W" -- white -- hiding the secret among the hordes of swarthy Italians and Greeks and Southern Europeans who had also descended upon Detroit.
Henry went by the name Frenchy. It may seem outrageous from today's perspective that a man should dislike his lot so much that he would lie about his blood. But not to me. Consider Frenchy's time. Detroit was little better than the South for a man with African ancestry. If Henry would have admitted he were black, then restrictive -- and legal -- real estate covenants would have banned him from owning property on Birwood or renting outside the squalid ghettos like Black Bottom or Paradise Valley.
The year great-grandma got off the train -- 1924 -- a Ku Klux Klan-endorsed candidate was elected the mayor of Detroit. Charles Bowles could not take office, however, because it was a write-in campaign and so many of his supporters had misspelled his name that about 17,000 ballots were disallowed. During that campaign there were mass marches of Klan supporters -- 40,000 strong in the city. They even burned crosses on the steps of city hall.
A few months later, a black man, Dr. Ossian Sweet, had the temerity to move into a white neighborhood on the city's east side. A mob set upon his house and the doctor fired into the crowd, killing a white man. Sweet was defended by noted attorney Clarence Darrow and acquitted of murder by an all-white jury. Still, Dr. Sweet knew better than to press his luck. He left the house. The Sweet incident was the stuff of national headlines and my great-grandmother -- much darker than her husband and able to read a newspaper -- must have known about the white mobs and the burning crosses.
Great-grandma LeDuff was said to have had few friends. She threw no parties and rarely came out of her house. She knew she did not belong there.
Looking back, I can't blame Great-Grandpa Henry or Great-Grandma Inez for passing themselves off as some sort of ethnic whites. Henry couldn't have made his life otherwise. A drop of African blood was enough to condemn a man to eternal poverty.
So am I black? White? Mulatto? How much of anything am I? When I tried telling black people in Detroit my discovery, most would simply wave me off with a go-away-white-boy smirk. White folks laughed and called me Tyrone and asked if I was now ahead of them on the fire department hiring list.
In Detroit, I was reminded, old habits die hard.
Henry's son, my grandfather Royal, excelled at mathematics, was considered an excellent dancer and was something of a dandy, with his straightened hair, pencil mustache and taste for expensive clothing. Roy hated his father Henry, who was surly and an angry drinker, and when he told his own narrative, my grandfather always began it in 1933, the year, I imagine, that he was emancipated from his father's shadow and began working at the post office.
Henry died in 1951, the same year his son Roy met Betsy Steele at the Vanity Ballroom. Roy and Betsy were married a year later. Royal brought his two children from his previous marriage, including my father. Betsy gathered up her six from a previous marriage, including my mother.
Roy gave Betsy's children a sturdy home and a serenity they had never known up to then. They attended Catholic schools and ate with silverware and lap linens. My grandfather -- black and white -- and my grandmother -- Native American and white -- reinvented themselves, creating new myths to cover their pasts and their olive skin.
They both knew their true heritage. My grandfather left Jim Crowe Baton Rouge as a teenager, after all. My grandmother's mother was as red as the sunset. Nevertheless, they became paragons of clean white middle-class living. This was the 1950s. "Leave It to Beaver" was the top-rated show on television, and they did their best to live up to its example: a dining room decorated with Priscilla curtains and crystal wine glasses.
Grandpa was known as The Duke on Woodward Avenue and left the post office to become the morning odds maker at the Detroit Race Course -- a Teamsters track. He was good pals with Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa. My grandmother once showed me a photo of the two men holding picket signs in front of the track gates in the late 60's.
Their children tried to live up to the white linen fancy, but it was a little too late. They were too old to forget the pain of their scattered childhoods. Some got caught up in pregnancy, some with the law, some with alcohol.
Two years after his birth mother, Betty Zink, died alone in an upstairs apartment on the west side of Detroit, my father Roy Jr. went off to the Navy. And when Betsy Steele's daughter Evangeline became of age, she jumped on a train at the old Michigan Central Depot and met her stepbrother in San Diego, where she became his wife.
She gave him a daughter, Nicole. Two months later, Roy Jr. shipped out as part of the first U.S. combat troops into Vietnam.
When he returned, I was conceived. Our family returned to Detroit in May 1967, just in time for the riots and the landing of the 82nd Airborne into the heart of the city to quell the violence.
It was a terribly muggy and uncomfortable evening when the fires started. My parents were living with my grandparents on the west side in the home built by the hands of my great-grandfather, Henry, the sharecropper's son.
The riots officially started in the early hours of Sunday, July 23, when white cops began knocking black heads at an after-hours party. People started smashing things, but the real rampaging and looting did not begin until Sunday proper. The news media went out of its way to avoid reporting about the "disturbance," but the west side, where we lived, was already starting to burn. Even Willie Horton, the Tigers left fielder and a black man who had grown up near the ball park, couldn't sooth the mob when he drove into the middle of it and stood on top of his car, still dressed in his uniform from that afternoon's game. The city would burn for five days.
My father was working that Sunday night at the old Wonder Bread factory, which has since been replaced by the Motor City Casino. My grandfather Roy, my grandmother Betsy and my mother Evangeline, holding me in her arms, stood on the front lawn around dusk. The blacks were slowly moving out of their ghettos and setting up lives in the traditionally white areas of the city. If that weren't bad enough, at least in my grandmother's mind, now the blacks were burning the place down.
"Pa," she said to my grandfather. "We've got to get out of this neighborhood."
To which my grandfather, a black man who never revealed the fact to any of his relations, replied: "How many can there be?"
The following day, Grandpa got a gun.

Police in Glendale say they've struck a blow against a street gang responsible for armed robberies, aggravated assaults and one murder.
At a news conference Wednesday afternoon, police announced that they've arrested dozens of people affiliated with the criminal group.
Glendale Police Chief Debora Black say nearly 60 people affiliated with the Grandel gang have been taken into custody so far in the year-long investigation and other arrests are expected.
9 of these arrests occurred Wednesday while others happened months earlier in the case.
"They started their own clique called Grandel for protection in the prison system. What that morphed into over the years was a criminal street gang," said Rick Saint-John, Assistant Chief of Glendale Police.
Police say their investigation of the gang began when they examined a February 2010 stabbing death in which a gang member was later convicted of killing Mark Miner.
Investigators say the majority of the gang's victims were fellow criminals.
"The majority of the crime that was committed was against people that were doing things in the streets of Glendale that Grandel didn't approve of," said Saint-John.
"Because of these efforts we dealt a serious blow to an established street gang. By taking these individuals out of our community, we struck a blow for justice and made our streets safer for law abiding residents," said Scott Brown, Homeland Security Deputy Special Agent.
FOX 10's Anita Roman reports.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by Krysty Great Sandals I purchased this sandal for my boyfriend and it was great! Very comfortable he says BUT the straps were just too tight on his foot because he has wide feets. Overall the comfort was good but sadly he wasn't able to wear them so we had to return it. Yet this is a very good sandal and i'd still highly recommend it. September 8, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5Â by DWB862 Uncomfortable strap While I will say that the padding is very soft the strap across is tighter than any pair of flip flops I've ever owned. Not good for slipping on and off. Once they are on they are there to stay. The quality of the product is very good but just not sandals in the traditional flip-flop sense. September 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by MarkMan Flip Flops Very comfortable and stylish, can't wait for spring to give them a true workout. These are the most comfortable flip flops I have ever owned and a huge step forward from the all rubber, plastic kind that have been on the market for years. I highly recommend them. March 10, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Happy Camper Aloha!! Well, the Fitfoam Flip Flops are comfortable with good arch support, which I need. I can tell that once the flip flops have formed around my feet they will be even more comfortable. January 31, 2013

"I'm issuing a challenge to the governor tonight. Don't be a dictator. Preserve democracy. Sit down with the mayor. Sit down with the head of City Council," said Detroit City Council Member Kwame Kenyatta.
He added that if an emergency financial manager does comes in, you can expect protests in Detroit.
This week, we've already seen protesters in cars stopping traffic on the Lodge and I-94. On Thursday, three slow moving vehicles clogged traffic on eastbound I-94.
"When the truck drivers had an issue and a concern across this country, what did the Teamsters do? They stopped traffic on every freeway in this country until they got their issues met," Kenyatta said.
The councilman believes the governor, the mayor and City Council may all learn a lesson.
"Even the people in the hood fight for their hole in the wall. They fight. They hold onto that. You may not like Linwood. You may not like Dexter, and it needs to be cleaned up, and it needs a whole lot of things, but they fight for that turf. And what I'm saying is that the mayor and City Council should fight and appeal to the last possible moment," said Kenyatta.
He predicts Detroiters will get protest support.
"The world is focusing on Detroit. I've talked to elected officials all over this country, and they're prepared for a national mobilization in Detroit," Kenyatta said.
"People from out of state may be coming here to protest?" I asked.
"Coming here to give support and protest or whatever is called for to make a point," he replied.
