Home Loans Tips, Info & FAQs

Adjustable vs Fixed-Rate Mortgage: Three Questions to Ask Yourself
A fixed-rate mortgage means you pay the same interest rate throughout your loan. An adjustable rate mortgage is different: you pay the same rate for a set period of time, and then your rate will change. Which type is right for you depends on several factors, so we've put together a few questions to help you decide:
1. How long will you have the home?
Adjustable mortgages tend to be a lot cheaper at first, and then fluctuate as the housing market does. So if you are planning on moving in the first five years, you should probably go with the adjustable option. There will still be some risk, but you're more likely to save.
2. What can you afford to put down?
Adjustable mortgages are usually easier to qualify for, because the risk goes more to you than to the lender. On the positive side, this means you can often still qualify for them if you don't have very much money to put down.
3. How much are you willing to risk?
This is the most important question. Inherently, fixed-rate mortgages offer more security. Be realistic about what you are willing to risk in order to save on the short term. For example, if you have chosen the home you want to settle down in with your family permanently, you'll likely want a fixed-rate mortgage instead of an adjustable one.

Is a home loan with United Texas right for me?
Whether you're a Texan who is purchasing or refinancing, our San Antonio home loan specialists are certain you'll find we are a lender with your best interests in mind.
It's best to have a pre-qualification in hand before you hunt for your house. It gives you buying power, helps you search for what you can afford, and shows that you are a serious buyer.
Please complete our application and we'll issue an approval for a home loan now with no obligation.
With my current finances, what type of loan best suits my needs?
Your financial preparedness will determine what you're qualified to purchase and what type of home loan fits your budget. Our personal home loan liaison in the greater San Antonio area can help you figure this out.
What is an escrow account?
An escrow account is set up by your home loan lender to pay certain property-related expenses on your behalf, such as property taxes and homeowners insurance.
What are closing costs?
Most home loan professionals will define closings costs as only third-party costs that are NOT associated with the mortgage company. However, the question most consumers are asking is, "what are my out of pocket expenses?" There are four things to consider:
(1.) Down payment. The percentage of the sales price you will be required or willing to put down to purchase your home.
(2.) Prepaid Items. If you have an escrow account, prepaid items will account for the amount of funds to set up the escrow account.
(3.) Third-party fees. These include title company fees, appraisals, inspections, and other fees that are not related directly to the mortgage company.
(4.) The mortgage company's fees. These include underwriting, processing, origination, discount points and other fees that the company may charge for services to close your home loan.
What are discount points or origination fees?
Discount points or origination fees are costs associated with purchasing a lower interest rate. Typically a 1% discount point/origination fee equals 1% of the loan amount and will lower an interest rate by 0.125%.
How much of a down payment is required to purchase a home? Is there down payment assistance?
The program you are eligible for will determine the amount of down payment required. For example, an FHA loan requires a minimum of 3.5% down payment, whereas a VA loan does not require a down payment. Different programs have different down payment requirements. Down payment assistance is offered through third-party entities outside of the mortgage company. Mortgage companies may or may not participate with certain down payment programs. Check with your home loan representative to see which down payment programs your mortgage company participates with.
What is a rate lock, and how do I lock my rate?
A rate lock is a means for the borrower to lock in the lender's current interest rate. Typically, a rate lock will last 15, 30, 40, or 60 days. You may lock in at the time of application, or you may choose to wait until later in the process as long as you are either refinancing your home, or you have an executed contract with the seller. Your loan officer will discuss the best lock period option for you.
What is the maximum percentage of my home's value that I can borrow?
The maximum percentage of your home's value depends on the purpose of your loan, how you use the property, and the loan type you choose. For this reason, the best way to determine what loan amount we can offer is to complete our online application.
Is financing for manufactured homes available?
We define manufactured housing as housing units that are factory built with a steel undercarriage that remains as a structural component and limits the structure to a single story. These types of manufactured homes are sometimes known as mobile homes.
We do not consider other factory-built housing (not built on a permanent chassis), such as modular, prefabricated, panelized, or sectional housing, to be manufactured housing. If your home is one of these types, please complete the application indicating that your home is a single family home.
Should I enter in a purchase contract before I'm qualified?
It is highly advisable that you DO NOT enter a purchase contract until a home loan professional has had a chance to review your credit report and supporting documentation (i.e. income documents & assets).

Went in today looking to get advice for mortgage loans and home buying. This was the first time me and my fiancé have ever attempted to purchase a home, so we were a bit nervous on what kind of information we'd receive. I was surprised at the wonderful customer service we were given and we left with an amazing amount of information. Jesus Castillo, the Financial Services Officer, helped us tremendously. He was very knowledgeable and seemed to actually care about his customers. We thank you for your help and guidance. Also let it be known that I am a customer of three years with United Texas and so far this is the best bank I have ever banked with. I have never had any issues, they are quick to answer questions and I have had two instances where there were fraudulent charges on my account and they actually notified me before I caught it, of course they acted immediately. Thank you!RamLightning
Jesus is a wonderful asset to the credit union. He explained the process and managed expectations for time to complete the loan process. He developed a relationship with us for the home loan so when it came time for the auto loan we immediately considered the credit union and will continue to do so for all of our financial needs.
I've been banking with United Texas Credit Union for several years and have had a great experience. I am a recent first time homeowner and worked with Jesus C who guided me through the mortgage process. He was very helpful, transparent and made what I thought would be a painful process really straightforward and painless!

Jesus Castillo was an amazing loan officer. He helped me get my first home. As a first time buyer, I was nervous and heard many things from other loan officers that I needed so much down. With him it was a small down payment, easy, and fast. Thank you, Jesus!
Hi Veronica - Thanks so much for letting us know about your recent five-star home loan experience with Jesus. We appreciate your choice to obtain your mortgage with United Texas Credit Union! Enjoy your new place! -Karla :)

I've spent a few hours today and yesterday adding behaviour to the hero and monsters. The biggest challenge is keeping monsters apart, having them follow the hero and not tunnel through walls.
For path finding i use a rather simple and unoptimized implementation of A* on a tile grid (though it's generic enough to work on any graph really). Path finding is only used to guide the hero to the point on the map the user tapped on.
For keeping monsters separated i give them a simple separation steering behaviours. To avoid walls, i implemented simplified obstacle avoidance which exploits the fact that the entities are moving on a tile grid. The monsters follow the hero by simple seeking. Those three steering behaviours (separate, wall avoidance, seeking) actually make for a passable overall experience. Each steering behaviour has a weight, so i can control the contribution of individual steering behaviours to the overall direction a monster takes. E.g. wall avoidance is weighted higher than seeking or separation. This (kinda) guarantees that monsters will prefer overlapping with each other more than tunneling through a wall.
I tried doing A* for every individual monster, but wasn't happy with the result. Steering behaviours can't resolve deadlocks resulting from paths that overlap in space and time, which creates stalemates among monsters. There might still be a way to make this work, however, for the simple dungeon maps the seek behaviour should suffice.
There's a nice paper by Vavle on how they solved similar problems in Left 4 Dead. It's a bit overkill, but some principles i could apply to my scenario as well. Haven't had time to look into it yet, reactive path following looks pretty much what i had before i killed A* path finding for monsters. Thanks to Dave (@redskyforge) for pointing me at the presentation.
Here's the obligatory screenshot, green lines show the velocity/direction, red lines show the steering force/acceleration. Blue tiles are the path nodes the hero follows.

I Love Online Photo Communities
March 19, 2015
"Wait a second. Didn't you just write about how you hate online photo communities?" Yes, I did. I wrote about that right here. I stand by that post, but there are things to love about online photo communities, just as there are things to hate. My previous post focused on the bad things, but now it's time to turn everything on its head and take a look at the good things. This photo of the Manhattan skyline was taken during a photo meetup that I hosted in 2013. Everyone in attendance that day was someone I had met online, via one social network or another and a shared love of photography. I am privileged to call some of those people close friends, and I am happy to consider them an inspiration as well. I can say with a great deal of confidence that without the existence of online photo communities, I wouldn't have progressed as much as I have today. Here's why.
Confidence Building
When you're first starting out, it can be really daunting and confusing. You may be hesitant to try something new, because someone you see online is already doing it well. You may not feel like you have the skill, and maybe at this point, you don't. However, a good community will embrace the things that matter while you're in a learning phase: your determination, your willingness to learn, your inquisitiveness. Furthermore, you'll probably feel like there's no rush to "get good", so to speak. You should feel comfortable learning and exploring at your own pace, and you should feel comfortable with your mistakes. Good communities foster that kind of growth.
You can receive criticism that doesn't condemn you for inexperience. Perhaps they'll ask what you were going for in a particular picture instead of just blurting out flaws aimlessly. Perhaps they'll point you to places where you can find more information about things that confuse you.
Friends, Mentors, and Rivals
When you start spending time in these communities, something begins to happen. You make connections with people that will reinforce the things you do well, push you to improve the things you don't, and challenge you to do things you've never done before. You'll make friends who you can trust, you'll gain mentors who can inspire and educate you, and you'll have rivals who can drive you to surpass your abilities time and time again. There's also no rule that says these titles are mutually exclusive. Mentors can be friends, friends can be rivals—and they often are.
Uncomfortable with taking portraits? Maybe you'll find someone who will let you assist them. Maybe you'll find someone else who is also uncomfortable and you can help each other. Maybe someone you know will overcome their discomfort and it will be a catalyst in overcoming your own. You never know! There are a ton of opportunities.
The Great Outdoors
Here's the thing: the best online communities get you offline. They get you to socialize and learn. They get you to actually do, as opposed to just reading about doing. There are certainly communities that don't offer this to its members, and there are events that appear to be community based, but really aren't. Much like any social event in life, you'll learn how you function best. Do you like being around tons of new people? Do you prefer small groups to large ones? You'll be able to search for an environment where you think you'll be most comfortable, and then immerse yourself in it. How exciting is that?
"What about the false sense of camaraderie? What about the politics?" It's still there. It's like anywhere else. You're going to find people who are toxic to your growth, and you're going to find people who nurture it. You're going to find people who repel you, and those who draw you in. You've just got to stay strong and understand that it's just a hazard of looking for a place that makes you feel welcome...but you will find a place. Once you do, get offline, make friends, enrich yourself.
"You got your freshmen, ROTC guys, preps, J.V. jocks, Asian nerds, cool Asians, varsity jocks unfriendly black hotties, girls who eat their feelings, girls who don't eat anything, desperate wannabes, burnouts, sexually active band geeks, the greatest people you will ever meet, and the worst. Beware of plastics."
-Janis, Mean Girls
That quote applies to more than a school hierarchy. When you're looking for a place to belong while you figure out what to do with your camera, you're going to come across all kinds. The people who only shoot film, the people who hate film, ones with gear acquisition syndrome, the ones who only shoot "straight out of camera", the ones who carry ALL the gear, team iPhone, team Android, team medium format, team Canon, team Nikon, team mirrorless, the ND filter users, the HDR abusers, the art geeks, the tech geeks, the videographers, the time-lapsers, the hyperlapsers, the greatest people you will ever meet, and the worst.
See how that works? Now go out, find out who you want to be. There's no rule that says you can't be more than one of these things. There's no rule that says you can't try. There's also no guarantee that you'll find the right people right away. All you can do is be open to the idea of learning, the possibilities of discovering things about your creativity, and the power of community.
So yeah, there's plenty to hate about photo communities, but there's also plenty to love. What do you love?

Medicinal marihuana in the workplace
Over the years, workplaces all over Canada have seen many different issues, in particular regarding smoking and narcotic prescription drugs. The most recent issue workplaces are struggling with is medicinal marihuana. There is a lot of stigma around using marihuana for medicinal purposes, so you can only imagine how people would feel about using it in the workplace. Marihuana is scarcely viewed as a medicine, which is the biggest issue. Marihuana is viewed as an illegal drug, so who would think its ok to do drugs at work?
Employer failed in duty to accommodate by not considering employment beyond pre-injury position
In the recent decision Fair and Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board, the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal provides a useful guide for employers to follow in determining how to return an employee to the workplace after an extended absence.

Supergiant Games' next title will be arriving in 2014
Only a few days ago, we heard that Transistor would be Supergiant Games' follow-up to Bastion and that it would be playable at PAX East 2013. Lucky convention-goers can play an early build of the game, on course for a 2014 release on unconfirmed platforms.
Transistor bears resemblance to Bastion in a few ways: the isometric viewpoint and beautifully painted visuals immediately brought to mind 2011's indie darling, but Transistor plays very differently from its predecessor.
Transistor stars Red, a popular singer who is being targeted by a group of assassins for unknown reasons. At the start of the demo, she nervously walks over to a large blue sword protruding from a dead body. This is the Transistor, and he calls out to Red to take him with her.
You'll recognize the voice straight away as Logan Cunningham, who voiced the narrator Rucks in Bastion. Red, just like the Kid, is mute and the Transistor makes a cryptic mention of her attackers "taking your voice."
As Red makes her way through the beautiful cityscape, she's attacked by spherical robots with glowing red eyes, and this is where the Transistor shows it's use. A press of the right trigger shifts the game to a tactical view: the background fades away and a reactive grid is overlaid on-screen. The grid is there to help in targeting, and Red can move to different points along it but is not bound to them.
At the start of the demo, the Transistor only has two abilities: a simple slash ability and the Burst. The latter is the more useful, as it will send out a bust of energy that will pass through enemies; get two or three in a row and you can take groups of enemies really quickly.
Eventually, a melee attack and a jaunt attack fill out the Transistor's arsenal, which help when the Transistor recharges itself: during this time Red can enter the tactical view and fend off enemies.
Red can queue up commands that you'll see on a bar at the top of the screen, but you can cancel any action with the left trigger. As combat begins, blocks will rise from the ground, filling out the tactical grid and making cover. The cover is fairly fragile, but it allows some tactical depth: you can destroy cover to attack enemies, although this will leave Red vulnerable.
As Red and the Transistor make their way through the world, they encounter more victims of the robots. "Hundreds" of people have been going missing in the city "in a few months," and Red was due to be next. Instead of fleeing from her synthetic attackers, the demo concludes with Red seeking them out in their home world, called The Process.
Transistor has been in various stages of production for the last year, but Supergiant took breaks to work on the iOS and Google Chrome versions of Bastion, according to audio lead Darren Korb and art director Jen Zee. Korb admitted that there's pressure to follow up on Bastion's success, but the team "want to make a game we're happy with."
There is no publisher attached to Transistor yet but the Supergiant guys aren't necessarily looking to publish the game themselves, so we'll need to wait and see if someone will pick Transistor up. As we've come to expect at this stage of the console cycle, there are no platforms confirmed for Transistor but since Bastion appeared on a consoles, PC and iOS it wouldn't be a surprise to see the same happening with Transistor.
For those not at PAX East 2013, you'll have to wait for 2014 when Transistor will hopefully be arriving.

Hamas — and Erdogan's Funny Definition of Democracy
by Ruthie Blum
Hamas was one of the many entities rushing to congratulate Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on his successful quashing of the attempted coup against his government last weekend. Like leaders of other countries worldwide, the heads of the terrorist organization ruling the Gaza Strip hailed Erdogan's success as a "victory for democracy."
Unlike those who waited for the military takeover to fail before applauding the autocrat in Ankara, Hamas was genuinely relieved. After all, the Islamist Palestinian group has no greater friend than Erdogan.
Thus, Hamas has been able to proceed with its summer activities in a particularly festive manner. Two of these activities are particularly worthy of note.
The first is a special exhibit marking the second anniversary of Operation Protective Edge, Israel's 2014 incursion into Gaza to destroy the terrorist infrastructure — tunnels and missile-launchers — used by Hamas to kidnap and kill innocent Israelis.
Related coverage
Though Israel managed to decimate much of the infrastructure, leaving swaths of Gaza in ruins, Hamas did not feel defeated; nor should it have. No military match for the mighty Israeli army, it nevertheless succeeded in sending the Israeli populace into bomb shelters several times a day, while retaining political power and several tunnels and subsequently buckets of money and materials with which to keep its terror mill running.
To boost morale and demonstrate that it is doing its job properly, the Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades — amusingly known as Hamas' "military wing" — has created a death-and-destruction Disneyland for family fun, free of charge. This consists of a display of various authentic weapons deployed in the slaughter of Israelis, and an extra-special tour of a tunnel bordering the Jewish state.
To promote the exhibit, Hamas produced a video showing children touring the well-lit underground passageway, whose purpose is to transport terrorists around Gaza and to ambush Israeli soldiers through shafts emerging on the Israeli side.
However, some 50,000 kids in Gaza will be too busy to frequent the exhibit, as they will be attending jihad camp, the second happy Hamas event taking place before the start of the next school year. At one of the 25 "Vanguards of Liberation" camps, Gazan youth will learn hand-to-hand combat, weaponry and — as a special treat — how to desecrate the Israeli flag.
In a promotional video provided and translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, a masked counselor explained, "We are in need of strong and powerful heroes in order to implement the words of Allah: [The companions] 'are tough against the infidels and merciful among themselves.' We … motivate the students, to wage jihad, for the sake of Allah, and we instill love for Allah and His Prophet in the souls of our sons."
An administrator in the video said that the camp — decorated with posters of suicide bombers — focuses on shaping "an able and unique generation of powerful servants of Allah, in an ideological, religious and military sense, a generation that will liberate Jerusalem and the rest of the land, God willing."
One camper described his goal: "We came here today to undergo training with all our strength and our knowledge, in order to protect our holy places and our land, and in order to take revenge upon the tyrannical Zionist occupation."
Meanwhile, as Erdogan purges the army, the courts, the media and the universities of anyone and everyone he suspects is not on his side — arresting thousands of people and suspending civil liberties as part of a "three-month state of emergency" — Erdogan can and does identify with Hamas' objectives and methods, especially those pertaining to Turkey.
When Mushir al-Masri, a member of Hamas' Legislative Council in Gaza, announced after the coup was nipped in the bud, "We are ready to sacrifice our blood for the Turkish people, and … for Istanbul," Erdogan was reassured. His aversion is to American values, not those of his co-warriors against the "infidels." It's a funny definition of democracy, but one that Erdogan and his champions call their own.

The September's challenge at Lavinia has begun and the theme this time is
didn't see that one coming, did you? Summer breeze would have been preferable but alas, 2017 is racing!
If you fancy being in with the chance of winning £40 to spend on some new stamps, just Ink up your Lavinia stamps and join us in the challenge this month!
Two very similar cards from me this time, in fact the
Oxide ink backgrounds started off as one piece of card, I just love playing with these beauties, you never know what you're going to end up with when you lay down the colours on your blending mat. Have to say that the new Multifarious card works like a dream with the inks, I can't quite explain what it is but if you try it yourself you'll see the difference it makes. There's only one ink to use on our beautiful fairies and that's Versafine, it picks up every beautiful detail! I used the following stamps on these two:-
All of these stamps were from the new collection as seen on Hochanda.
I used Wink of stella on the wings to add a beautiful sparkly shimmer
I'm using these cards for the following challenges:-
CACB, Mixed Media,
Thanks for stopping by,

…is that they're hard to write.
As I go through the tedious process of applying for job after job, never hearing back from any of them, and then worrying that something is wrong with my email inbox, I've found that one of the most difficult parts is the cover letter.
How do I make myself appealing to a company?
How do I simultaneously express my uniqueness without sacrificing professionalism?
How do I properly convey my enthusiasm?
And, above all else, how do I hide my desperation?
Okay, the last one I've managed pretty well, but nevertheless the whole process is daunting.
With each new job possibility comes a new cover letter, or at least a new draft of the original. Right now, looking at my Documents folder, you would find at least 11 files with the words "cover letter" somewhere in the title. Many are just variations of each other, others are failed attempts at me being witty, none are, as of yet, successful.
When you google search "cover letter," an abundance of websites pop up to assist in helping you write the perfect cover letter. The so-called experts and all of their knowledge is a bit overwhelming, causing me to take each suggestion with a grain of salt. I have, however, discovered that there are a few constants in masses:
1. Absolutly, Positivly, Unconditoinaly NO mispellings or grammatic erors.
(see what I did there?)
2. Take this opportunity to go into greater depth and detail involving your specific skills in relation to the job you are applying for.
3. Individualize it.
4. Highlight how you would be an asset to the company.
5. Each Cover Letter should be Company specific.
(this one might require researching the company, which is always a good idea if you're applying to work there!)
Am I missing anything? Or is there, quite simply, no perfect recipe. No guarantees. No promises.
Each resume I send seems like a shot in the dark, I guess I'm just hoping one of them will get noticed.

As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly
Ten free minutes for me, 10 free incarcerated Bengals for you . . .
1. Allen Iverson, guard, Boston Celtics? I reluctantly approve such a notion, if only for entertainment's sake; the Answer's reckless/relentless style of play would be a treat to watch up close, though I fear all the lumps his scrawny body has absorbed through the years will lead to an accelerated decline. There is one caveat to my approval, however: If Gerald Green's name comes up in any discussion with the Sixers, I plead with Danny Ainge to hang up the phone and wait for Billy King to humbly call back with a more reasonable request. They can have Delonte West, Sebastian Telfair, and even Big Al if his exclusion is a deal-breaker. Just don't give up Green. He has rare physical talent, a picturesque jump shot, and you can see he's figuring it out with each minute of playing time Doc Rivers awards him. I'd rather watch him grow into an elite talent than watch a current elite talent like Iverson begin to age.
2. Is Doug Mirabelli the only person on the planet with the mad skills to catch a knuckleball? I'm beginning to think so, since the Sox are apparently kicking around the thought of bringing him back one more time to caddy for Tim Wakefield. This is, of course, a ridiculously pea-brained idea. Mirabelli was washed up two years ago, and he's a well-known pain in the Assenmacher on top of it all. I say it's about time Jason Varitek sucked it up and caught Wakefield, and if that's not an option, then bring in Sandy Alomar Jr., whom I believe caught Tom Candiotti in Cleveland way back in the deadball era. Sure, Alomar may be calcified at this point - I think he's actually older than Sandy Alomar Sr. - but really, can he be any worse than Mirabelli?
3. So now the versatile Don Davis is done for the year, the 11th Patriot to be placed in injured reserve this season, and Belichick's troops are suddenly so thin at linebacker that one more injury (knock on wood) would be nothing short of devastating to their defense. Hell, the situation is pretty dire already. How dire? Paging Roman Phifer . . . Roman Phifer, please report to the front desk . . . Hey, even though ol' No. 95 is now two years into retirement, I can think of worse options. (See: Beisel, Monty).
4. In a related note, I'd gladly welcome Junior Seau back for a second tour with the Patriots in '07, though it should be as a backup since it would be prudent to start getting younger at the position. (I still contend that Kamerion Wimbley, the Browns' stellar rookie linebacker, was their No. 1 target in the last draft, though that Maroney kid wasn't a bad consolation prize.) Even Seau's most ardent detractors had to be won over by his inspired and reliable play before his gruesome injury, and he seemed to really relish the Patriot atmosphere.
5. Apparently, hypocrisy is an intangible. From the fellas at Fire Joe Morgan:
Does anyone still wonder why we are tough on Derek Jeter for not standing up for ARod this past year?
Here's a recent article where Derek Jeter talks about ARod:
Recently, the Yankees Captain has been hit with some misguided criticism that he should come out stronger in his defense of Alex Rodriguez . . .
"That's exactly what I said," Jeter calmly explained. "I said the only thing I wasn't going to do was tell the fans who they should boo and who they shouldn't boo."
And here's an article from 2005 where Derek Jeter talks about Jason Giambi:
Then Jeter took the opportunity to stand up for Giambi, who was booed so loudly after he struck out in the eighth inning it was hard to hear public address announced Bob Sheppard announce the next hitter. Jeter implored Yankees fans to stop booing Giambi.
"The fans have to start cheering for him," Jeter said. "If you're a Yankee fan, you want us to win and we need Jason."
One more time: 2006, re: ARod:
"I said the only thing I wasn't going to do was tell the fans who they should boo and who they shouldn't boo."
And 2005, in re: Giambi:
Jeter implored Yankees fans to stop booing Giambi. "The fans have to start cheering for him," Jeter said. "If you're a Yankee fan, you want us to win and we need Jason."
The end.
Seriously, that is just awesome. Fist pump!
6. If I'm Theo Epstein, I keep dialing up Jim Bowden and badgering him about a Wily Mo Pena-for-Chad Cordero swap until the Nats' GM either changes his number or gives in. While a straight-up swap probably isn't reasonable - the Sox would have to kick in at least a pitching prospect or two - it's not completely illogical from the Nats' standpoint. Bowden reportedly has a fondness for Pena dating back to their time in Cincinnati together, Washington desperately needs some sock in the middle of their Soriano-less order, and while Cordero is already a proven closer at age 25, he's something of a luxury to a Nationals team that is so flawed that it probably won't have a whole lot of leads for him to protect.
7. Forget the insane money given to such mediocrities as Gil Meche, Juan Pierre, and Gary Matthews Jr. The leader in the clubhouse for Bleepin' Stupidest Signing Of The Offseason is the Chicago Cubs for the three-year, $20 million deal they gave Jason Marquis today. Yes, that Jason Marquis - the one who was quite possibly the worst pitcher in the NL this season (6.20 ERA, led the league in homers allowed) and has a reputation of disregarding the advice of everyone but the voices in his own thick head. Tony La Russa and Dave Duncan must be having a good laugh about this one.
8. I finally found the analogy I was looking for: Pam Beesley is this generation's Bailey Quarters, and if you know what I'm talking about, I know you're nodding your head in agreement. And with our obligatory "The Office" mention out of the way, here are some words from a certain stellar TV show of its time that might just stick in your head for the rest of the day: Baby, if you've ever wondered/Wondered what ever became of me . . . Go ahead, sing it. Resistance is futile.
9. Curt Schilling says he's learning some Japanese so he can communicate with Daisuke Matsuzaka. I suppose it's an honorable gesture, though I'm suddenly curious if there's a Japanese word for "windbag."
10. As for today's Completely Random Baseball Card:
Who knew the current Boomer Wells wasn't the original? You know, I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume the two aren't related.
Labels: Alex Rodriguez, Allen Iverson, Bailey Quarters, Chad Cordero, Curt Schilling, Derek Jeter, Don Davis, Doug Mirabelli, Gerald Green, Jason Marquis, Jenna Fischer, Junior Seau, The Office

That Basket of Biscuits
Two Sundays ago, my goddaughter Emi was carrying a basket of biscuits given to her by an auntie in church. She was playing with it when her mom, Agnes, suddenly said the basket closely resembles those being carried by little flower girls during weddings. Unexpectedly, she turned to me and said "Ninang, you have 3 more years okay?" Ummmm, why 3 more years? I asked.
In 3 years, Emi will be 6 years old, and Lisa (Emi's younger sister and my other goddaughter) will be turning 3. After that, Emi will be too old to be your flower girl- she explained, with concern in her voice. I felt the blood drain from my face. Then Auntie Belen and Auntie Maria started prodding. Help her find someone lah, they said in chorus. Woah, hang on. Stop. Give me a moment to breathe and digest what I just heard.
I didn't know how or what to react. Should I be happy that they are all concerned about my life, or should I dread the fact that I am given 3 years to find someone to fall in love with and tie the knot? I thought they will say my egg cells are expiring after 3 years (I'm glad they didn't. Or else I'm considering freezing them. I kid. Or maybe not.)
When I was 18, I sort of had in mind that I'll be getting married when I turn 26. I had it beautifully planned- the dress, the church wedding, the reception- but not the groom. Goodness gracious, I'm turning 27 in 3 months and I'm nowhere near marriage. PAAAAANIC ATTAAAAACK!!! OK. I'm over-reacting. Take a deep breath. Calm down. Smile.
Sometimes I do blame myself for being too... picky (for lack of better word). But then when I take a few steps back, I realize I am doing myself a favor by choosing the person I will get to spend the rest of my life with, and that it involves careful decision making- not just for the sake of having a boyfriend, or getting hitched. We're talking about "forever" not a day or two. We're talking about lifetime of togetherness, of sleeping side by side, of waking each day with the same person, sharing your toast, your cup of coffee, your toothpaste, your everything.
I went on dates after college and pushed the pause button when I was working for production. Looking back, I wasn't really interested to be in a relationship, or in a "mutual understanding" (shucks, that sounded so high school) to say the least. Then I arrived here in Taiwan where there's supposed to be a ''thriving'' community of international guys (I was expecting a buffet of them hahaha). But alas, these guys liked booze, bars and clubs, and as for me, I don't do parties. The idea of partying didn't attract me at all. I like nice conversations over a cup of tea, with optional Bossa Nova in the background. Still, my angels might have been hard at work so I ended up dating a few guys, but... nothing beyond friendship. (You see, sometimes a person's true character is revealed after courtship, and you'll thank yourself for saying 'no'.)
At this point in time, when my Facebook feed clogs with pre-nup photos shot in Santorini or Fiji Island or wherever in the world, announcements of who got engaged with who, (and even worse) sonogram photos with captions ranging from "my jellybean" to "hello little one", I really feel like time's running out. Then I hear stories of cheating, of bad relationships and failed marriages. It's at this point that I realize that maybe, I'm doing just fine.
I'll wait until the right person comes in God's time. I'm sure it will be beautiful. Even more beautiful than those same-day-edits with aerial shots and wedding photo slideshows on my feed (hahaha #peanutbitter). But seriously, I have learned to pray for him constantly, even for his life, for his career, for his family-- for whoever he is, I know he is worth praying and waiting for.
Lisa and Emi, you will be ninang's flower girls someday.
Ugh. I can't believe that basket of biscuits led me to write this entry. Above photo taken from Google Images.

OMG, I feel you so much! I have actually considered freezing eggs too because I do not want to be pressured of finding someone to be with just because of my biological clock. I want the man to arrive just on time.
You know what, we share the same sentiments in terms of why I am still single too. Don't worry sis, Lord will give us the right guy. Let's just pray for him. :D

HAHA I'm not panicking! But YES apparently there's a 'thriving' community of expats here- most of them teach English for a living, drink before sunset, and party until sunrise. :)

Had I been given the chance to re-do my life, I'd stay single prolly until I am 29. *But hey, I love my hubby and son so dang much, don't get me wrong* (^-^)
Going back to you, Miss Jacqueline, just take your time. Marriage is a totally different thing when compared to courtship or bf-gf relationships. If you feel like you haven't found the right guy to spend your life with, then by all means, stay single. Don't get too much "pressured". Enjoy your being single, enjoy life!

Awww, take this from me! I got married pretty young and had my own little one at about 23. We're the same age pala but I'll be 27 in December. Don't be pressured! Choose the one you really like. My mom even asked me once if I'm sure I want to get married na because she said that marriage is a life sentence (sounds nega, haha!) but truly it's a forever kind of thing. I still believe that the right one will come along when it's time. Most relatives will somehow put the pressure on you, as if they're the ones getting married. LOL!

Thank you, Rea! That's true, most of the pressure I'm feeling now comes from my relatives. Haha!

Since 1980, the number of obese people has doubled worldwide and is continuing to rise, according to new research. The study, published Monday in the New England Journal of Medicine, stated that about one-third of the global population is overweight and 1 in 10 people are obese.
"Excess body weight is one of the most challenging public health problems of our time, affecting nearly 1 in every 3 people," lead author Dr. Ashkan Afshin said.
Afshin and his fellow researchers analyzed data from 68.5 million people from 195 countries and found 107 million children and 603 million adults with obesity in 2015. The United States has the greatest percentage of obese children at 13 percent, and Egypt had the greatest number of obese adults at 35 percent.
Though the causes of obesity weren't strictly discussed in the study, Afshin said, "The change in physical activity preceded the global increase in obesity. We have more processed food, more energy-dense food, more intense marketing of food products, and these products are more available and more accessible."
Dr. Tim Lobstein discussed during the 2017 European Congress of Endocrinology meeting that "overconsumption is made easy by environmental cues, including the price, availability, attractiveness, marketing and advertising of processed food, and with respect to activity there are multiple inducements to sedentary behavior."
In 2014, 4 million deaths worldwide were attributed to being overweight. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), obesity is the cause of many health conditions including:
All health conditions are considered for both children and adults. In fact, childhood obesity is considered to be the most common prevalent nutritional disorder of U.S. children — one that's most often seen by pediatricians. Because of the prevalence, the Endocrine Society recently released an updated Clinical Practice Guideline Program to help the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity, alongside lifestyle changes.
"There is no single or simple solution to the obesity epidemic. It's a complex problem and there has to be a multifaceted approach," the CDC states.
That said, there have been improvement in treatments for helping individuals survive longer with weight-related health conditions.
"But we cannot have all people on drugs," Afshin said. "Ideally, we want to go to the root causes and address the problem of overeating."
This recent study only brings more credence to the World Obesity Federation's recent position statement, published in May: Obesity is a chronic, relapsing and progressive disease process, and that there is a need for immediate action to prevent and control the global obesity epidemic.

Remember when Beyoncé first left Destiny's Child and she had her alter ego named Sasha Fierce. She would reference her in that she was shy outside of performing. I think a lot of us adopted the whole alter ego, mine was Natasha.
Natasha was also an alias I used in my single days when I didn't feel like being bothered. This was back in the day when you could curve a dude and he would just eat it. Now a days when are forced to give their rightful numbers to avoid the male ego and avoid being harmed. Men we need you to go back to the days of being okay of being curved. Women I think are getting better at attempting to be authentic too. I know men read my blogs I am not putting it all on you.
Back to Natasha, as I gotten a little older I still refer to Natasha but I realize that she is me and I am her. She is a part of me. She isn't this imaginary alter ego that I use to be more bold. Natasha and I are one. We are both bold and quiet. We are both able to speak into the universe what we need and get it. We can read a book and turn up with a quick twerk. We both love book stores and the occasional club scene. We both know how to act in corporate America and we can respectfully fall in line in any small company atmosphere. We can be healthy and have splurges. We can be homebodies as well as out and about. We can want solitude and be okay in a crowd. We use alter egos to do the things that we are to shy to achieve not realizing that if we can call on the alter ego which is us, it was in us to do so. We can ask for a raise from that job because we have done the work. We can ask for someone's number because we are dope individuals and want someone on our page.
We can make moves in our lives because Natasha is us and we are her. We both combined are awesome. Being older I hear from women older than me telling me not to hold back. If something is no longer serving its purpose in my life, get rid of it. Don't wait until you are 50 to make your own choices. There is too much love and light on this Earth to allow life to simply happen to you. Regardless if you name your alter ego or not is neither here nor there. We ALL have multiple sides to us. It's learning to allow you to fold and evolve. It's a beautiful thing to see yourself in the mirror when you accept yourself with all the flaws and messiness you are.
- Say NO more
- Say YES more
- Eliminate waste in all areas of your life
- Link with other dope individuals
- Smile More
- Cry when necessary
- It's okay not to know the answer
- It's okay not to have it together
- Compare yourself to you and no one else
Whatever you need your alter ego for, combine her/him with who you are and shine. Together you are all you need. Be great today!

Issue: How to Recover Encrypted Files Using CRY128 Decrypter?
I need help decrypting files affected by CRY128 ransomware. I've heard that CRY128 decrypter has been released, but I'm not sure I will know how to use it properly. I really don't want to mess up and lose my data. Can you walk me through the data recovery process?
Solved Answer
The first of May is a lucky day for everyone who had their files encrypted by CRY128 ransomware virus. On this day, Emsisoft has released a free decryption software which everyone can download from the researchers' official website. Emsisoft is one of the leading companies in the fight against ransomware which can be proud of its titles as Microsoft Certified Partner and OPSWAT Gold Partner. Thousands of users have already been saved from having to give away their money to the extortionists and now is the time for the CRY128 victims to get back their files. In the following article, we will give a brief overview of the virus in order to help users recognize the virus easier. But if you are certain about the origin of the infection already, you can skip straight to the decryption instructions below, where you will learn how to use CRY128 and achieve best recovery results.
For those unfamiliar with ransomware working principles, we can briefly say, that these parasites are specifically designed to infiltrate computers and render the victim's personal data unreadable. Some ransomware use spam campaigns to reach devices, but CRY128 and virtually the whole CryptON family from which it stems rely on RDP (remote desktop service) vulnerabilities and brute force their way into the targeted systems. When the virus is finally deployed on the computer, it starts scanning the hard drive, external devices and other places that may contain files on the computer. It is specifically looking for archives, Office files or media that may have some personal value to the victim. This way, data owners are more likely to pay for their recovery. And that is what the extortionists are aiming for. They drop a ransom note called _DECRYPT_MY_FILES.txt in which the victims learn all about what happened to their files and how they can revert the changes. The price of a decryption key that the extortionists offer is 0.388 BTC (around 722 USD), but the risk that the extortionists will vanish with your money is just not worth taking, especially when you can now decrypt your files for free. So, without further ado, let us begin with the Cry128 decryption guide.
How to decrypt files using free Cry128 decryptor?
Step 1. Take care of Cry128 virus removal
Before you start with the data recovery, you should first make sure all Cry128 virus components are eliminated from your computer and won't interfere with the recovery process. Keep in mind that the leftover malware may repeatedly encrypt your files, making your efforts simply useless. Thus, it is recommended that you trust this task to some professional security software which will automatically locate and remove every bit of malware that it finds on your computer. Software like Reimage should be perfect for this purpose.
Step 2. Download Cry128 decrypter from Emsisoft
The important thing you should remember is not to buy the decryption key from the virus creators. They will only use your money for some evil cause, while you will have no guarantee that your data will be returned. Instead go to the official Emsisoft website and download the Cry128 decrypter for free. You can speed up the download by clicking this link. Be careful not to obtain any descryption software from unreputable sources! Such tools may do more harm than benefit to your computer.
Step 3: Cry128 decrypter in action
- For the Cry128 decrypter to work, you will first have to submit the application with one healthy file and its encrypted version. By comparing the two, the software will automatically extract the private decryption key. Using this key decrypter will recover the rest of your files.

Dutch police had their hands full this weekend as Muslim protesters took to the streets and shouted "Allahu Akbar."
The demonstrations took place as a result of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is currently campaigning to increase his powers ahead of Turkey's April 16th vote, by landing votes from millions of expatriate voters through Europe.
In the video, hundreds of Muslims can be seen in the streets in the Netherlands, chanting "Allahu Akbar" and other dangerous phrases.

Similar occurrences took place several days ago when Geert Wilders protested in front of the Turkish embassy:

Europe currently finds itself in a crisis regarding its ballooning Muslim populations. The influx of refugees has led to massive ideological shifts in these countries, as millions of migrants have taken up residence throughout Europe and are hellbent on destroying western culture.
Protests like the one that occurred in the Netherlands are a clear example that the West should be scared of the Muslim populations that are slowly taking over.

HMO Insurance is critical these days with many landlords of HMO properties (house of multiple occupancy) being considered a higher insurance risk, so finding good value is often difficult. This is where we come in, to offer you a tailor made quote to suit your needs, we are independent and so have access to a wide range of policies across the market. In fact, we are well known throughout the industry as providing excellent HMO Insurance to landlords.
Your liabilities, obligations and requirements change significantly when compared to a standard let property owner. Consequently you will need a specialist policy to cater for this. This is where we can help; we tender the market and approach specialist underwriters who tailor their quotations to meet the proposer's needs and regulations. It's also important to be aware of your Local Authority's requirements when it comes to this kind of property as it does change from authority to authority. Speak to your local council if you are unsure.
The most important thing when considering a HMO Insurance policy is how much the building is covered for.
Ideally, you must contemplate what would cover the cost of rebuilding from scratch in the event of a fire or natural disaster as well as covering loss of rent to tide you over.
At Goldcrest we are proud to be one of the UK's best providers of specific HMO Insurance policies and we will work with you to ensure that you have the right level of cover for your needs. We offer a no obligation quotation, why not apply now.

HMO Insurance Optional Benefits
Loss of rent and buildings cover are as standard, but other optional benefits we offer in addition are: alternative accommodation costs; landlords' contents (if you have furniture in the property); contributions towards alternative accommodation for your tenants, legal protection, rent guarantee and public and property owners' liability, in case anyone injures themselves in the property.
If you are a property developer and hire staff, it's also important to ensure you have employers' liability insurance to cover you for injuries or illnesses which we can also cater for.
Whether you own one property or a larger portfolio, finding the right Insurance is as important as finding the right tenant and at Goldcrest, we'll find you the right level of cover to protect your properties:
Along with any type of tenant:
- Professional
- DSS/Housing association
- Students
- Asylum Seekers
What Are Houses Of Multiple Occupation?
HMO properties are also known as Homes in Multiple Occupation or Multiple Occupancy Homes which are properties found in the private sector housing that shares a bathroom or kitchen with someone else in the property (For example two separate bedrooms rented by different people but they both share the same kitchen and/or bedroom). Again the definition of when a multi-let property becomes a House of Multiple Occupation can change depending on it's location, so always check with your Local Authority to ensure you are fully up to speed on your obligations as a landlord / property owner.
They are an incredibly popular investment in areas with large student populations, hospitals, airports or anywhere in fact where there are likely to be people needing shorter term or more affordable accommodation. They can be a good investment because renting out each room individually is likely to bring in a higher yield than the property as a whole.
There are some downsides of course, you are responsible for many of the bills associated with the property, maintenance and upkeep of communal areas which are generally not looked after as well as those properties which are let as a complete unit. You will also have to provide furnishings, utilities etc. to make sure your property is an attractive prospect for potential tenants. There are Health and Safety obligations also, so make sure you are fully up to date with this before renting your rooms out. Again, another reason why HMO Insurance is so important in these instances.

EMPACK 2015: Primera Printing and Finishing Solutions
Primera presents its full range of label printers and applicators
Wiesbaden, Germany (November 4, 2015) – In order to help products really stand out, product packaging is becoming more and more important, especially as for one local product you for sure get dozens of substitutes from all over the world. For sure the quality, its origin, how and where it is produced are all extremely good and important selling points. But placed on a supermarket shelf next to other similar products the packaging makes the difference.
Smaller manufacturers most times have to use standard labels, which do not have a special eye-catching look to separate them from the big brands. For those applications Primera Technology presents its inkjet-based LX-Series colour label printers at EMPACK Madrid, Fiera de Madrid, stand E39.
LX900e –Primera's best-selling inkjet label printer
Primera Technology has successfully developed short- to medium-run solutions using inkjet technology, such as the LX900e Color Label Printer. Its print resolution of 4800 dpi guarantees a printout in photorealistic quality and enables users to add vibrant pictures of their products next to small texts such as ingredients, instructions or barcodes and still every detail of that label is razor-sharp. Labels can be printed whenever they are needed and in the required quantity.
LX2000e – Primera's new industrial printer
Primera is always trying to come up with improved or new printing solutions. One of those innovations is the LX2000e Color Label Printer, a new industrial-grade desktop printer suitable for use in off- and in-line productions. It stands out especially for its robust construction, its reliability and consistency of the printing output, which is extremely important for example in the logistics or chemical sector.
LX2000e is Primera's fastest pigment inkjet label printer using BS5609 certified ink. In combination with various synthetic materials like Primera's Tuffcoat Extreme Polyjet material, LX2000e labels are highly water and UV resistant and therefore fulfil all requirement for GHS compliant labelling. This durability supports applications such as frozen or refrigerated foods, beverages, but also bath and shower products or containers and drums of chemicals.
Large, separate ink cartridges keep cost per label low while print speeds of 152mm/s, along with 210mm print width produce full colour labels extremely fast. Wired Ethernet, USB 2.0 and wireless connectivity enables an easy integration of the LX2000e in existing production processes, allows printing jobs to be decentralized started and controlled and supports the cost evaluation.
AP360e/362e/550e – Primera's Label Applicators
Primera's label product range is completed by the AP-series Label Applicators. The AP360e single and AP362e front and back round container label applicator and the AP550e label applicator for flat-sided containers like square sided bottles and boxes apply labels faster, more accurately and wrinkle-free – helping to speed up the production and sell more products than by applying labels manually.

1. What would you like to see happen in the lingerie industry?
How about a global bra sizing system. Well, we can only dream! Would love to support Aussie brands, but they need to learn from the Eurpoean / UK fit and also offer a wider range of sizes. Also education in bra sizings is key, as soon as women start realising that a D cup is now the average and really not that big then they will become more comfortable with their shape and understanding that a D cup in a size 10 back is a lot smaller than a D cup in a size 16 back it wont seem so strange to them when we fit them firmer in the back and the cup goes up which we need to do for 9 out of 10 women who visit Brava for the first time. Most have never known what it feels like to be wearing the right bra. So women understanding how bra sizing actually works would be a great start and its up to us to help them to feel good about that, especially when they have a fuller bust.
2. Finish this sentence: If I had a billion dollars I would…
Give all to charity! Maybe keep 1 million for my family.
3. What do you love about your business?
Helping women to have a good bra fitting experience so they feel good about their bodies and introducing them to brands and sizes not found in mainstream stores. The satisfaction our staff get from providing our customers with a positive bra fitting experience is very rewarding for us. We have very loyal customers and its due to our passionate, friendly and warm staff.
4. What is your greatest achievement?
My son of course, but 2nd to that would be starting Brava because not one day goes by without us making a positive difference to the way a woman feels about her body.
5. What are your favourite lingerie brands?
Freya for the young, funky designs and their sports bras, Fantasie for the must have basics, Panache for their size range, Elomi for our fuller figured customer & Chantelle for their classic, quality craftsmanship. All of the above for their fit.

Richards Bay at a glance
The vibrant town of Richards Bay is fast becoming a popular town to settle down in as well as
the North Coast holiday destination of choice, as it offers spectacular scenery and unspoilt

year round.
Besides rapid industrial expansion, the tourism industry of this region is flourishing given its
natural beauty and close proximity to excellent game reserves in Zululand. Its bustling business

diversity. On its Eastern boundary its golden shores are gently caressed by the warm waters of
the Indian Ocean. The coastline stretches some 350 km from the mouth of the mighty Tugela
River in the South to the Mozambique border in the North. Richards Bay is known as the
'entrance' to Zululand. The town is also close to the N2 freeway as well as just over an hour's

Can't Take A Hint
Add to Cart
Harry Shearer's new release, Can't Take a Hint, isn't the first long-player by the star of TV (The Simpsons), film (This Is Spinal Tap, A Mighty Wind) and radio (Le Show), but it is the first to feature a world-class cast of musical collaborators. The set features giants of pop, R&B and jazz whom Shearer has gotten to know in his travels: Dr. John ("Autumn in New Orleans"), Glee's Jane Lynch ("Like a Charity"), the Fountains of Wayne ("Celebrity Booze Endorser"), Jamie Cullum ("A Few Bad Apples"), Alice Russell ("Trillion Dollar Bargain"), Judith Owen ("Your Thing") and others. Shearer himself plays the bass on many of the songs. Supporting these vocalists is a who's who of instrumentalists and producers: guitar stars Jeff "Skunk" Baxter and Steve Lukather, Beach Boys/Brian Wilson musical director Jeffrey Foskett, producer John P. Fischbach, guitarist Bruce Gaitsch, trumpeter Nicholas Payton, session ace CJ Vanston and Memphis artist Charlie Wood. Can't Take a Hint, which follows Grammy-nominated albums Songs Pointed and Pointless (2007) and Songs of the Bushmen (2008), differs from its predecessors in that it isn't limited to one topical theme. Rather Shearer, Le Show's master of satire, tackles various issues of the day — from the foibles of celebrity to the Bridge to Nowhere, from the cost of war to weather extremes in Shearer's beloved Crescent City. With the exception of a couple of what Shearer refers to as "song songs," most of the tracks are comedic musical sketches of the kind he produces for Le Show, which has been heard on public radio since 1983 and more recently as an iTunes podcast. Regular listeners to Le Show have heard a few of these songs over the past year or two but they have not been commercially available until now.

Mae Plaid Cymru wedi ymateb i araith Theresa May yng nghynhadledd y Blaid Geidwadol, gan feirniadu methiant Prif Weinidog Prydain i grybwyll Cymru unwaith, mewn araith oedd yn llawn "ymadroddion diystyr".
Plaid Cymru's leader in Westminster, Liz Saville Roberts MP, said:
"The Prime Minister's claim to be a "proud unionist" would have been better received had she mentioned Wales once in her speech.
"Welsh and British citizens don't want to hear meaningless phrases like "the British dream" and "global Britain", we need to hear about how the British Government will close the gap in wages between Wales and London, about how our businesses will be able to trade with the rest of the world after Brexit and about what major infrastructure the British Government will secure for Wales. Perhaps if she spent less time talking about having ideas and more time actually outlining those ideas, the British State might not have the slowest growing economy in the world.
"While the Prime Minister talks about English schools, the English NHS and English housing, people across Wales are wondering why their transport system is stuck in the Victorian age, why they get paid 35% less than their counterparts over the border and why our young people are forced to leave to find a decent job.
"The glaring absence of anything to do with Wales in the Prime Minister's speech sums up exactly why we must not allow any claw back of responsibilities away from our own Parliament in Wales and back to Westminster. If we want to turn the fortunes of our country around, we must do it ourselves."
