African-American youth group ministers to Navajo Nation
August 25th, 2017 / By: Jane Rodgers | TEXAN Correspondent / comments
MESQUITE Sixteen middle school and high school youth and eight adults from Mesquite Friendship Baptist Church wondered how they would be received at the Navajo Nation Reservation in Arizona on a recent mission trip.
The July 30–Aug. 4 outreach was part of the church's "Look Like Heaven" emphasis in July, said pastor Terry Turner.
"Initially we were a bit apprehensive, a predominantly African-American church going into a Native American situation," said Caleb Turner, Mesquite Friendship's equipping pastor, adding he believed the group was the first African-American team to work in the area.
Their concerns proved unfounded.
"The love of the community was absolutely amazing," Turner said.
"We were so warmly received. They were so welcoming," said Barbara Allen, who sponsors the youth group with her husband, Kenneth, also on the trip.
Work centered on the small communities of Many Farms and Chinle, Ariz. After doubling the congregation of Many Farms Baptist Church for Sunday morning worship, the volunteers split into three teams to do three days of special projects.
One team demolished a small house in Chinle.
"We tore it down. It sounds like the opposite of what you should do on a mission trip," Turner said, explaining that only three to five Walmarts serve a reservation the size of West Virginia, making supplies and equipment hard to get.
The group salvaged two-by-fours, sheetrock and nails to be reused. The homeowners, whose primary residence was nearby, made the salvaged supplies available to the community.
Turner said some of the youth tutored the homeowners' two young children during the demo project.
A second Mesquite group painted the interior of the home of a woman named Nellie, who attended Many Farms Baptist Church, where the team was housed.
"Miss Nellie didn't have running water in her house," Barbara Allen recalled. "In my house, water runs freely all the time. She was struggling with that."
Allen called the experience both "heartwarming," referring to the warm welcome the group received, and "heart-wrenching," referring to the grinding poverty they saw.
"Our kids discovered you don't have to go out of the country to see people who live in poverty," Caleb Turner said. "Most of the youth probably worked harder than they've worked in a long time," he added with a chuckle.
The kids learned "they take a lot of things for granted that other people long for," added volunteer Fullisha Pickrom.
A third group visited the Navajoland nursing home near Chinle, celebrating birthdays of residents and playing games with them. Some, like 17-year-old Precious Smith, worked jigsaw puzzles with quieter residents, prompting tears of gratitude from one older Navajo gentleman.
In the evenings, Many Farms Baptist Church hosted area children for games and stories. Although promoted as a parents' night out, many mothers brought their children and stayed. The Mesquite ladies invited the women to join them in Bible study.
The local women were eager. One said she was rededicating her life to God.
Turner said Mesquite Friendship plans to send teams to the Navajo Nation for four more years, expanding the outreach.
"We are interested in finding young Native American men interested in teaching the Bible," Turner said. "We want to offer classes (and) give them the tools they need to present the gospel themselves in their own communities."
"They are a people who are hurting. Alcoholism, drug addiction, extreme poverty are rampant. We want to go out there and show Jesus. … We want to help people and establish relationships.
"It felt like the beginning of something great that God's going to do through us."

Adjacent to the popular master-planned Briargate real estate in northeast Colorado Springs, Colorado are the impeccable homes in the first-class Pine Creek Golf Community. The Colorado Springs CO homes at Pine Creek offer either the luxurious living on an 18-hole, championship golf course or along natural open spaces. The community enjoys easy access to shopping, restaurants, businesses, and Interstate 25 along with celebrated District 20 schools.
Residents of planned real estate in Colorado Springs enjoy the best in two worlds: Briargate and Pine Creek were both developed by La Plata Investments and share amenities. Homes in Pine Creek are styled in classic Colorado Springs architecture. Some of the best builders of homes in Colorado Springs are on hand, offering single-family home, luxury patio homes, semi-custom homes, and custom homes.
Several unique neighborhoods include La Bellezza at Pine Creek, villas featuring a rolling Tuscan countryside, rustic stone towers, private courtyards, water features, and dining al fresco. Oak Knoll offers unsurpassed views and family oriented neighborhoods. Its wide, curving streets and proximity to the Briargate YMCA and shopping are perfect. Oak Grove at Pine Creek offers only 24 home sites, some backing to private parks at Pirate's Cove and Splash Park. For townhomes, the Carriages at Pine Creek overlook the Clubhouse and golf greens; many are available with three-car garages.
The community extends over 976 picturesque acres of rolling hills and high-plains grassland with gently flowing waters of Pine Creek winding throughout. Designers purposefully added several features to promote an open neighbor-friendly environment including extra-wide sidewalks, beautifully landscaped walkways and medians, and decorative privacy walls.
Open year round, the Pine Creek Golf Club is considered the premier course in the city. The demanding 18-hole championship course was designed by Richard Phelps, a notable golf-course architect, and made its debut in 1988. Considered "The player's choice" with two to five tee boxes per hole, the course ranges from 5,314 to 7,194 yards. The amazing views of Pikes Peak, the Front Range, and the city skyline and the wandering creek beds, and natural grasslands come into play on almost all of the holes, along with the trees, lakes, bunkers, and 376 feet of elevation changes. The front nine is a canyon-style course and the back nine features an American-style links course.
The complete golf facility offers a top-notch clubhouse, restaurant, pro shop, putting and chipping greens, and an elevated target-oriented driving range. Capturing the ambience of a sports-oriented restaurant, the Grill at Pine Creek is open for all meals. The Golf Shop at Pine Creek Golf club features the finest in apparel, products, and services. PGA-certified golf professionals provide private, semi=private, group, and junior lessons. In addition, the Pine Creek Golf Club Men's and Women's Associations provide a variety of events and tournaments during the summer months. The Club is also host to many corporate outings and charitable tournaments.

Some things are easy to lie about: a resume, history, past events, who said what.
Some things are impossible to lie about. How you dance, or juggle, or play music – an expressive display of skill inevitably tells a truthful story.
It's a story of years – commitment, dedication, focus. It shows how broadly you see, and how deeply, whether you pay attention to detail. Skill requires humility, inspiration, an incessant drive to improve, never being satisfied; being sensitive to people around you, incorporating feedback, stepping past your ego. Subtle motion, every thought and feeling expressed consciously or unconsciously, tells a deeper story of character, if one knows how to listen.
Anyone can do a dance move poorly. It says nothing of how long you've danced, or what you care about, or who you are. But a move executed flawlessly speaks volumes. There is no way to get there other than through a remarkable story of personal strength and resilience.
Sometimes, I forget why I do what I do, I forget who I am, and how I got to where I am. It gets lost in the noise of everyday life, gossip, plans that don't work out.
Then I look at myself, and how I do what I do, and I'm reminded why I started on the path I'm on. I'm reminded of how low I started, and what it took to make progress. The struggles I went through to learn to dance, to fix my body, perfect a foreign language, move to a foreign country, master the skills I needed to succeed in my career. I'm reminded of how vulnerable, alone, and alive I felt – the moment I challenged myself to learn music and guitar.
It was not an easy time in my life, and through the trials, I committed to making something out of the time I have. To living with purpose, and doing my best, in every moment.
Through the lows of life, that sustained dedication leaves an undying reminder, something that no one can take away. Hundreds, thousands of hours of focused practice imprint something deeper than what lies on the surface – soul tattoos – invisible, yet ever-present. Unattainable by any other means, not available for sale, can't be stolen, no way to cheat; a personal journey, a private possession.
For me, those tattoos help remember truths deeper than any doubts I have of myself, or any stories imposed on me. They remind of the resolve with which I started on my path; they remind me of the only path I found worth it to walk at all. A path of being true to myself, never holding back, giving everything I have, always challenging myself to go beyond what seems possible, and not caring for failure.

The America Invents Act (AIA) has elevated the status of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (Eastern District). The Eastern District is a speedy no-nonsense federal court with the well-earned reputation as the "Rocket Docket." The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) is located in Alexandria, Virginia, a short distance from the Alexandria Division of the Eastern District. In 1999, under the American Inventors Protection Act (AIPA), 35 USC §1(b) provided that the USPTO "shall be deemed, for purposes of venue in civil actions, to be a resident of the district in which its principal office is located, except where jurisdiction is otherwise provided by law." Despite this close proximity to the Virginia federal court, prior to the AIA, certain actions were required to be filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The AIA rectified that anomaly.
The Patent Statute, 35 USC §145, provides for a civil action to obtain a patent in the event that an applicant is dissatisfied with the decision of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board of the USPTO. That provision formerly provided jurisdiction for such action in the D.C. federal court. The AIA amended the provision to change the venue of such civil action to the Eastern District, consistent with the venue provision of 35 USC §1(b).
Similarly, the AIA, pursuant to 35 USC §146, provides for a civil action in case of a derivation proceeding in which any party is dissatisfied with the decision of the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. Such civil action challenging the derivation decision is to be brought in the Eastern District, again in conformance with 35 USC §1(b).
Finally, the Patent Statute provides for the appeal of a patent term adjustment determination under 35 USC §154(b)(4)(A). The AIA amendment changed the jurisdiction for such appeal from the D.C. federal court to the Eastern District, as contemplated under 35 USC §1(b).
In addition to the Eastern District having jurisdiction over the three appeals of actions before the USPTO, the AIA amended 35 USC §293 to confer jurisdiction of the Eastern District over proceedings affecting patent rights over nonresident patentees who have not designated a representative upon whom service of process or notice of proceedings may be served. Thus, foreign owners of U.S. patents may unwittingly become subject to jurisdiction of the Rocket Docket in actions such as declaratory judgment actions.
The rapidity of proceedings before the Eastern District is largely the result of the Local Rules of that court. Because the AIA has now conferred jurisdiction upon the Eastern District for the actions mentioned above, patent applicants and nonresident foreign patent owners need to be cognizant of those Local Rules. Because the USPTO is located in Alexandria, pursuant to Local Rule 3(C), the Alexandria Division is the proper division for such actions in the Eastern District. The dilatory tactics frequently employed by litigants in other federal courts will not be countenanced by the Eastern District. This is especially the case for discovery. Local Rule 26(C) provides that objections must be filed within 15 days of service of discovery requests. This permits expedited time for motions to compel to be briefed and argued under Local Rules 7(F) and 37 so that prompt responses close to the 30 day response times set forth in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure can be obtained.
The Eastern District does not currently have patent-specific local rules, nothwithstanding the court's elevated status in the patent realm. Nonetheless, patentees and patent applicants need to be aware of the Eastern District and its importance under the AIA.

'Security is fundamental to the Windows Vista architecture' is what Microsoft always said.
With all the talk about Microsoft's stepped up efforts to curb piracy through Vista's new activation methods, it seems that the OS is running in to its own security problem. Cracked copies of Windows Vista started flooding the internet soon after the operating system was released to manufacturing and ahead of its official release. Existence of the crack was first reported by Australian technology publication APC on 8th Dec, and now all the news source have confirmed it.
Windows Vista must be "activated," or authorized by Microsoft, before it will work on a particular machine. To simplify the task of activating many copies of Vista, Microsoft offers corporate users special tools, among them Key Management Service (KMS), which allows a company to run a Microsoft-supplied authorization server on its own network and activate Vista without contacting Microsoft for each copy. The 'MelindaGates' hack allows users to download a VMware image of a KMS server which activates Windows Vista Business/Enterprise edition. So this happens without alerting Microsoft.

Wow, my first post. Finally. I guess I can go back to Cal's house. What she doesn't know, is that I've been at her house everyday. Oh, wait, she did know that. How fun. Well, today, we didn't do anything, just worked on a hard puzzle, that's not even done, and had her brother kick my butt in Army Men for Playstation. But, to be fair, I let him win, because it was almost impossible to win normally.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: While writing another LotS story my muse hit me again but I couldn't integrate this idea into the story. So I wrote this one-shot.

So, if you are still around and recognize the plot elements mail me and I will change the header of this story mentioning you as inspiration. English is not my first language but SlashPony did a great job beta-ing the story quickly and thoroughly. She gave wonderful educational advice about the English language.

True Colors
By Olli
Kahlan Amnell, Mother Confessor of the Midlands and Lady Rahl of D'Hara, walked down the corridors of her palace in the city of Aydindril and couldn't hide her surprise. She had to have a word with Zedd about the Spell of Undoing she mused as she was greeted by another Mord'Sith with a respectful bow and a murmured, "Mother Confessor".
She'd been away for four weeks to attend a meeting of the Ruling Council of D'Hara that she had established after Darken Rahl's final and gory demise, and had left the Midlands in the capable hands of her beloved mate Cara. It wasn't until she had entered the palace a few minutes ago that she had noticed the change. Although they had spoken every day via Journey Book, Cara had never mentioned this. At the gates she had dismissed the four Mord'Sith that had accompanied her as bodyguards and suddenly she wondered if that had been such a good idea. What if something nefarious was going on?
When she reached her private chambers, she banished all such thoughts from her mind. She rushed into the study determined to find her beloved and get some answers.
Cara sat at her desk muttering curses while shuffling through a heap of documents. When Kahlan entered, she jumped up from the chair smiling widely. "Kahlan," she exclaimed. "I thought you would be at the People's Palace for another two weeks."
Kahlan stopped dead in her tracks blinking at the blonde. "Well, I got things sorted out ahead of schedule and I thought I'd surprise you."
Cara closed the distance between them and gathered her in her arms. Their lips met and for a moment Kahlan allowed herself to melt into her lover's strong leather-clad body. "Journey Books simply aren't the same," she mumbled into Cara's shoulder.
"Next time I come with you."
Kahlan gently pushed Cara away to hold her at arm's length. "I would like that," she smiled. "And now would you care to explain?"
Cara looked at her innocently. "Explain what?"
Waving her hand Kahlan looked up and down Cara's body, "This!"
"Oh! This." Cara looked down her own body, "It's all Solvig's fault."
Kahlan blinked trying to come up with a face to that name. "Oh, yes," she nodded as she remembered. "What has she done?"
"She got herself killed..."
"Don't worry, she's fine. Berdine gave her the Breath of Life."
"I'm glad to hear that. And Solvig being killed is related to this because?" Again Kahlan waved her hand at Cara.
Cara flopped down in an armchair and stretched her legs. "Three weeks ago we received reports about a shadrin close to a small village to the east. Normally I would have sent a hunting party but my Sisters of the Agiel were bored. So I arranged a lottery and Berdine, Raina, Hally and Solvig won. I sent them after the beast."
Kahlan leant against her desk and rolled her eyes. Only Mord'Sith would consider hunting a shadrin a piece of good fortune.
"After a few days they managed to take the brute down and Solvig... well," Cara shrugged. "However, she got her leathers torn in the process. Back in Aydindril she went to the finest seamstress in town to have them replaced and this is what the two of them came up with." She pointed at her chest.
"I see."
"And it seems they appealed to my sisters' fashion sense. Within two weeks every single Mord'Sith in Aydindril somehow managed to get her leathers torn and have them replaced with one of these."
"I see." Kahlan smirked. "And how did your leathers get torn? Did another poor shadrin have to lose its head?"
Cara shook her head. "No, of course not."
Kahlan quirked an eyebrow.
"In the absence of the Mother Confessor I'm the regent, so I took money from the public purse and bought the leathers."
Kahlan's eyes grew wide. "You did what?"
"Don't worry, I got a receipt. And I'm sure the seamstress was grateful for the money."
"What do you mean?"
"I don't think she makes a lot of money on these."
Kahlan cocked her head questioningly.
"When I entered the shop, Haina left with her new leathers. And the seamstress had a very satisfied smile on her face... and she walked funny," Cara grinned at Kahlan's blush.
Kahlan took a deep breath. "Well then, let me have a look."
Cara rose from the armchair placing her hands on her hips.
Kahlan made a circling motion with her finger. "Turn around," and Cara swirled slowly putting up an impromptu fashion show.
Kahlan scrutinized her mate from head to toe. Cara's leathers were colored a deep blue, the same color the Guard of Aydindril used for its uniforms. It had fewer buckles, clasps and straps, and the leather looked sleeker and smoother than that of the old red uniform. If the old leathers had been fitting tightly these ones were almost scandalous.
The flat-soled boots came up to mid-calf and had three buckles on the outside. They looked like heavy-duty boots but somehow seemed to emphasize the simplicity of the leathers. But what really caught the eye was the patch of white leather attached above the left breast. It was formed like a hand -- a delicate, feminine hand.
"Do you like it?"
Kahlan nodded seriously. "Yes, I do. Who would have thought a year ago that Mord'Sith would devote themselves so wholeheartedly to the Mother Confessor of all people? I should think of a way to show my gratitude."
"Again? Kahlan, Mord'Sith are not used to being spoiled," Cara teased good-naturedly.
"Well, I should do something for Solvig at least."
"You could order a cart-load of replacement leathers from her girlfriend."
Kahlan frowned again. "And Solvig wouldn't mind?"
Cara blinked, then she understood. She crossed her arms before her breasts. "I was thinking more of spending a lot of money." Suddenly she grinned, "But if the Mother Confessor insists, I'm sure I can arrange something." She wriggled her eyebrows.
"Errr... I think I will pay her. With money, I mean." Kahlan blushed, then she left her place at the desk. She circled Cara and with her fingers she trailed the blonde's back, her waist and her belly.
Cara trembled.
The Mother Confessor placed her hands on Cara's bottom and pulled her into her body. "Now all I have to do is to figure out how to get you out of these," she murmured while nuzzling her lover's throat.

Mother of knife victim: 'I'll never get over losing Abdul'
Youth charity worker was murdered for his iPhone during four-hour stabbing spree by two teens on mopeds described by police as 'highwaymen of the 21st century'
25 May, 2018 — By Tom Foot
Abdul Samad, who was 28, was stabbed despite handing over his phone and wallet to muggers
THE mother of a youth charity worker who was murdered for his iPhone during a sadistic four-hour stabbing spree by two teens on mopeds says she will never recover.
Layla Begum said the murder of Abdul Samad, who lived in Maida Vale and worked at the Dragon Hall in Covent Garden, had "absolutely broken" her entire family and left her feeling "like a dead woman walking around my home".
She discovered the 28-year-old on her doorstep after he was knifed by the muggers despite handing over his phone, wallet and PIN.
Ms Begum said: "Since his death there has not been a single moment that goes by for me without shedding tears. I will never be able to get over losing a son. I often feel like a dead woman walking around my home."
Killers: Nathan Gilmaney and Troy Thomas, both aged 18
Detectives described Abdul's killers, Nathan Gilmaney, 18, and Troy Thomas, 18, both from Maida Vale, as the "highwaymen of the 21st century" who had carried out nine knife-attack robberies on one night. Victims were often stabbed for "no reason" during the four-hour rampage between Bayswater and Maida Vale.
Thomas had been riding the moped and Gilmaney the pillion passenger, although they swapped over as the evening progressed.
Police said the terror began at 10.30pm in Shirland Road, Maida Vale, last October 16.
CCTV footage shows Abdul being robbed by Thomas and Gilmaney
They approached a man while holding knives. They mounted the pavement on the moped and Gilmaney stabbed him in the back, puncturing his right lung.
An hour later they attacked a man who was with his elderly aunt in St Mary's Terrace, Paddington, stealing jewellery and money before stabbing the man in the stomach.
Moments later they confronted Abdul in St Mary's Terrace, Paddington.
He handed over his phone and they drove off, only to do a U-turn in the street and return when they realised they needed the mobile's PIN.
Police issued this image of Thomas's flick knife
Abdul gave them the code and also handed over his wallet. CCTV footage showed him doing exactly as they asked, offering no resistance. But Gilmaney still stabbed him in the chest and he died after being found on his doorstep by his parents.
Detective Inspector Shaun Fitzgerald, investigating officer from the Met's homicide and major crime command, said: "The teenagers believed they had the right to threaten and rob wherever they wanted, often stabbing their victims for no reason at all but to prove they could.
"Their behaviour is truly shocking, not least because the fact they had just killed a man and could hear his cries and the paramedics battling to save his life with surgery in the street, did nothing to slow down their spree."
A few hours later the robbers sold Abdul's phone and some foreign currency at a block of flats in Harrow Road.
They left pulling on balaclavas to hide their faces, according to CCTV and, at 1.30am, tried to rob a man in Porchester Road, Bayswater and stabbed him in the stomach.
An image of Gilmaney's discarded knife
In Princess Square, they followed a man and stabbed him in the arm before, in Pembridge Road and at the junction with Portobello Road, they snatched a phone out of a woman's hand.
At 2am they threatened a 16-year-old with knives and punched her in the face.
In Golders Green Road they stabbed a man in the stomach despite him handing over his wallet.
Police caught up with the moped and Gilmaney took off his helmet, believing that the officers would have to abandon their pursuit.
However, given the severity of the offences, officers were given authorisation to continue and in Broomsleigh Street, West Hampstead, Gilmaney was wrestled to the floor by a policeman. Thomas tried to hide underneath a car but the was spotted by police in a helicopter.
They had both discarded their knives, which were found in the back garden of a flat in Broomsleigh Street.
The Dragon Hall, where Abdul worked, has written an appreciation of his life.
It said: "The result, the bewildering, utter, and complete sense of loss facing his parents, brother and loved ones, has been heartbreaking to witness. If only those responsible had realised the total devastation that they would cause, then maybe, just maybe, Samad would be turning up to work tomorrow, all set to make the world a better place."
His killers are due to be sentenced at the Old Bailey on June 15.

The race to the top of Google rankings is a tough one. It will have to do with perseverance if at all you very much want to get there. As it is a case with every other activity, the plan is the key. Having some strategies to deal with whatever may come your way is what you need. Otherwise, ask all the other top ranked site owners. It took time and effort to get there. Most importantly, remaining at the top matters rather than getting there and going back. Working with a nice professional SEO expert will enlighten you on some of these expected challenges. He/she will also propose some effective methods to fix them. Let's look at some common issues likely to be experienced when optimizing websites.
- Missing out on the basic
The field of SEO is filled with so many strategies that work to increase traffic and conversion rates. While some of them are recent and advanced, most of them are basic tips. You probably have heard or used them before. The problem with some of us is that we want the new stuff and treat the old as outdated. Well, not every old tip is out of fashion. Some things persist. In fact, others gain value with age. If your site is not optimized for the best keywords, titles, overall design, quality content and the like, be sure you won't get to the top. SEO starts with the basics. Work on them first before you get to other advanced tactics.

I feel strongly in my spirit that we must have another Day of Prayer. I believe this year we shall be moving forward rapidly in fulfillment of prophecy. I also believe that the present world financial crisis will precipitate the 'Mark of the Beast'. We also need to pray powerfully against the disunity both in government and the nation, which the 'enemy' is using now with some power. We must answer with greater spiritual power, the Bible says that a house divided against itself will fall! We need a spiritual reformation in the Church with a return to Biblical Authority, otherwise God will by-pass the Church completely! Our praying last September has supported Theresa May so far… but only continuing prayer will prevail, the battle is not yet won, the fight has only just started! - David Hathaway

Real Estate Predictions for 2018 Housing Market
Below are five housing trends expected for 2018, according to Realtor.com
Five Housing Trends for 2018
Inventory expected to begin to rise – In August, the U.S. housing market began to see a higher than normal month-over-month decline in housing inventory, which has continued to fall. Based on this pattern, Realtor.com® projects U.S. year-over-year inventory growth to pick up by fall 2018, for the first time since 2015. Inventory declines are expected to slow down throughout the new year, reaching a 4 percent year-over-year decline in March before increasing in early fall, after the peak home-buying months. Boston; Detroit; Kansas City, Mo.; Nashville; and Philadelphia are predicted to see inventory statistics to improve first. The majority of this growth is expected in the mid-to-upper tier price points, which includes U.S. homes priced above $350,000. Recovery for starter homes is expected to take longer because their levels were significantly depleted by first time buyers.
Price appreciation expected to slow – Home prices are predicted to slow to 3.2 percent growth year-over-year nationally, from an estimated increase of 5.5 percent in 2017. Most of the decline will be felt in the higher-priced segment as more available inventory in this price range and a smaller pool of buyer's forces sellers to price more competitively. Entry-level homes will continue to see price increases due to the larger number of home buyers that can afford them and more limited homes available for sale in this price range.
Millennials anticipated to gain market share in all home price segments – Although millennials will continue to face challenges next year with rising interest rates and home prices, they are on track to gain mortgage market share in all price points, due to the impressive size of the generation. Millennials could reach 43 percent of home buyers taking out a mortgage by the end of 2018, up from an estimated 40 percent in 2017. With the largest cohort of millennial expected to turn 30 in 2020, their homeownership market share is only expected to increase.
Millennials are a driving force in today's society, especially the housing market. They already dominate lower price home mortgage and are getting close to overtaking older generations for mid- and upper-tier mortgages. While financially secure in general, their debt to income ratios have started to increase as they compete for higher priced homes.
Southern markets, like Charlotte, predicted to lead in sales growth – Southern cities are anticipated to beat the national average in home sales growth in 2018 with Tulsa, Okla.; Little Rock, Ark.; Dallas; and Charlotte, N.C. leading the pack. Sales are expected to rise by 6 percent or more in these markets, compared with 2.5 percent nationally. The majority of this growth can be attributed to healthy building levels combating the housing shortage. With inventory growth just around the corner, these areas are primed for sales gains in years to come.
Tax reform will be a major wildcard – At the time of this forecast, both the House and Senate had bills up for consideration, but neither had passed and their impact was not included in the forecast for 2018 sales and prices. Since then, the House has passed its tax bill and the Senate bill is likely to be voted on soon. While the ultimate impact of tax reform will depend on the details of the plan that is finally adopted, both versions include provisions that are likely to decrease incentives for mobility and reduce ownership tax benefits. On the flip side, some taxpayers, including renters, are likely to see tax cuts. While more disposable income for buyers is positive for housing, the loss of tax benefits for owners could lead to fewer sales and impact prices negatively over time with the largest impact on markets with higher prices and incomes. It is hard to tell exactly how this will play out so we will have to wait and see how the final tax reform bill will affect the real estate market.

Au Cadrans was not my first option when I found myself stuck at Gare de Lyon in a state of travel fretfulness.* But there was no room in Le Train Bleu (the woman said, it could be that she didn't like the look of me) and so I had to find an alternative.
Au C is directly opposite G du L so ideal if you have an hour to kill between trains. Quelle pause! It was worth the Eurostar turmoil just for this 50 minute pit stop of Parisian pleasure. Professional waiter, cold beer, massive salad with big lumps of salty goat cheese. Sanity restored. The clientele a good mix of locals, French tourists and overseas visitors sitting together on a tranquil terrasse.

In August 2009, Andre Radke sent me instructions for building the OPML Editor from the Sourceforge respository.
1. Download the source code from the "Download GNU tarball" link at the bottom of this page.
The resulting file will be named trunk.tar.gz or trunk.tar (if your browser already unzipped it automatically).
2. Double-click again to "untar" it. The resulting folder will be named "trunk". This is the project root folder. If you want to change its name, e.g. to "Frontier kernel source", now would be the best time to do it.
3. Open the project root folder and inside of it, open the "build_Xcode" sub-folder.
4. Double-click the "Frontier Universal Binary.xcodeproj" file.
5. In Xcode, from the Build menu choose Build Results (shift-cmd-B).
6. At the top of the Build Results window, make sure that "OPML" is selected as active target, "Development" as active build configuration, and "OPML" as active executable. (These should all be selected already by default.)
7. Click the Build icon (hammer) in the Build Results window. After a few minutes, the build should complete with lots of warnings but no errors.
Xcode should no longer prompt for the project root directory when first opening the project and the workaround of building the Frontier target before the OPML target should also no longer be required.

The Canary Islands are also known as the "Fortunate Islands" among other reasons due to their climate of eternal spring. Their thermal amplitude is more or less 6ºC (42,8 ºF) throughout the year. This condition will allow you to sunbathe on one of its wonderful beaches on any season with an average temperature of 18 to 24°C (64,4 to 75,2°F).
The climate of the Canary Islands is a subtropical climate as the islands are located no more than 4ºC from the Tropic of Cancer, parallel to the one passing through Habana, very close to the african coast.
In the Canary Islands climate changes are not very drastic as the water is their thermal regulator. The climate in the Canary Islands is arid, with few rainfalls, the average temperature is around 22ºC (71,6ºF) due to the "Corriente Canaria" which maintains the water temperature on the same level as their latitude, between 22ºC (71,6ºF) during summer and 19ºC (66.2ºF) during winter.
The islands with most rain, though in the Canary Islands that's not something you should be afraid of, are Tenerife, La Palma and Gran Canaria, while Fuerteventura and Lanzarote are the most dry making them also the most arid and with the highest levels of sunny hours.
This climate creates a well-being reflected on its inhabitants, both locals and tourists that have elected this islands are their second home during the winter.

Ideal bodyfat percentage for active women?
Created September 27, 2012 at 5:24 PM
I'm trying to dial in what the ideal weight and bodyfat for an active female is. Currently, I am appx. 120 pounds, 20% bodyfat, doing crossfit 4-ish times a week (have been for awhile now) and walking at least 30 minutes a day. Height is 5'3. Eating around 1800 calories, 50-75 g carbs day. 7+ hours of sleep/ night, no caffeine and almost no alcohol. Been eating paleo for about 1 year now. I see lots of women that weigh less and have lower bodyfat than I do but I just can't seem to drop below these figures! I feel good when I workout and am not experiencing much fatigue during the day but would like to look leaner. Am I stuck at this weight?

Top athletes 15 to 20% Fit women 21 to 24% Healthy/acceptable 25 to 32% Overweight 33% plus
Going below 15% is not only difficult to sustain, but can be bad for your health. Are you sure you are getting enough calories? You might not be, considering the activity you mention. Or just try switching up your workout routine. I'd try increasing your calories with lean proteins and veggies, and increase your workouts with some endurance training (running or swimming) and see if that changes your fat percentage. 20% may just be where your body wants to be - especially if you feel great (it's a very healthy, lean percent to be at - you should be proud of your fitness level!)

For the first time since the Civil Rights Era, a documentary is being released which examines the Civil Rights Movement from the perspective of the African-American church. The new video, "We Shall Not Be Moved," distributed by Gateway Films/Vision Video looks in-depth at the critical role of African-American churches during this amazing period of US history. Filled with testimonies of pastors, activists, church members and other participants, "We Shall Not Be Moved" recalls the events in four key churches: Dexter Avenue Baptist in Montgomery, AL; 16th Street Baptist, Birmingham, AL; Brown Chapel AME, Selma, AL; and Ebenezer Baptist, Atlanta, GA.
"The video contains authentic accounts from those involved provide a spiritual—as well as historical—perspective of their roles in the movement to end racial inequality," said a spokesperson for Gateway Films/Vision Video. "These key participants give broader and deeper view of events than portrayed by the secular media over the years. Those involved reveal how they feel God worked through people and circumstances to remove racial discrimination as a way of life in American society."
"Some viewers will be challenged to rethink their position of the movement; others will be confirmed in what they believed. All will be deeply impacted by this emotionally charged account of the events."
The documentary also visits Little Rock, Arkansas, the location of an intense struggle to desegregate that city's high school in the late 1950's. Two of the students, Ernest Greene and Melba Pattillo Beals, who were barred from entering Little Rock Central High School, recount their memories of death threats, jeering mobs and the very possibility of losing their lives.
"This powerful documentary allows viewers to meet those who encouraged these students to look beyond themselves in order to change the nation," added the spokesperson.
["We Shall Not Be Moved" is available in a 90-minute full-length version a 60-minute version and a 44-minute version each for $19.99 from Gateway Films/Vision Video. Story courtesy of ASSIST News Service]

Unintentional injury is the leading cause of death for U.S. children, federal health officials say.
Researcher Nagesh Borse of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said unintentional injuries account for more than 12,000 children's deaths a year.
To prevent them, people need to know which kids are more likely to be hurt, when and how.
For instance, Borse said boys ages 15-19 are among those with the highest risk of death, notably in motor vehicle crashes.
"Using safety belts, wearing bicycle and motorcycle helmets, reducing drinking and driving and enforcing graduated driver licensing all help prevent motor vehicle crash injuries."
In addition, Borse also said to use the right child safety seat in the car, use smoke alarms, make a fire escape plan for your home and keep medicines, vitamins and cleaning products out of your child's reach.

We Can Use a Little Irish Humor NowBy TOM PURCELL
March 13, 2017
With all the vitriol in our politics these days, we could use more brotherly love - which reminds me of the joke about McAlister.
One Saturday night, he ordered three pints at the pub. When the bartender asked him why he wanted three, McAlister explained: "I've got two brothers, one in America and one in Australia. Every Saturday night we go to our respective pubs, order three pints and drink with each other. Right now, me brothers are sipping three pints, too."
McAlister continued his tradition for several months. But one Saturday he ordered only two pints.
"Sweet goodness," said the bartender, "did one of your brothers die?"
"The brothers are fine," said McAlister. "It's just that I quit drinking."
Reports of alleged wiretapping and spying are all over the news of late. That reminds me of the one about a German spy who was sent to Ireland during World War II.
The German was instructed to meet an Irish spy named Murphy and confirm Murphy's identity by saying, "The weather could change by Tuesday."
After he parachuted into Ireland, he set off for town. Along the way, he asked a farmer where he might find a man named Murphy.
"Well, sir, it depends on which Murphy," said the farmer. "We have Murphy the doctor, Murphy the postal carrier, Murphy the stonemason and Murphy the teacher. I, too, am a Murphy, Murphy the farmer."
The German got an idea.
"The weather could change by Tuesday," he said.
"Aye," said the farmer, "you'll be wanting Murphy the spy."
The resistance of millions to our overreaching government continues to remake our political landscape. It reminds me of the time a policeman caught Seamus with a bucket of fish in a no-fishing zone.
"You've got it wrong," Seamus said to the policeman. "These are my pet fish. I bring them to the reservoir every day for exercise. After they swim for 10 minutes, they come back to the bucket and I take them home."
"Prove it," said the cop.
Seamus dumped his fish into the reservoir and off they swam. An hour later, they still hadn't returned.
"Ha, you lying rogue," said the officer. "Where are your pet fish?"
"Fish?" said Seamus. "What fish?"
The economy is exploding suddenly - nearly 300,000 private-sector jobs were created in February, according to ADP and Moody's Analytics, exceeding estimates by a staggering 100,000. That gives hope to millions who had dropped out of the workforce entirely.
St Patricks Day and ICE roundup
St. Patrick enter the pub and each bought him a beer.
When St. Patrick shook Donovan's hand, Donovan said, "My arthritis! St. Patrick, your touch has cured it!"
St. Patrick shook McNally's hand, and McNally said, "My blind right eye! St. Patrick, you've cured it!"
St. Patrick went to shake Finnegan's hand. Finnegan shouted, "Get away from me, St. Patrick. I'm on disability!"
These days, with all the conflict and disagreement going on, our public discourse could profit from a better sense of humor.
Which reminds of the time Paddy died.
Paddy's wife went to the newspaper to place his obituary. The newsman said the cost was $1 a word.
"I only have $2," said Mrs. Paddy. "Just print 'Paddy died.'"
The newsman decided that old Paddy deserved more. He gave her three extra words at no charge.
"A kind man you are," said Mrs. Paddy. "Print me husband's obituary this way: 'Paddy died. Boat for sale.'"

This is based on a real trial in involving Ernest Boulton and Frederick Park. But it also involves the huge newspaper coverage of the scandal and letters that Barbara Ewing's research uncovered. The letters quoted in the book are genuine.

And who, inside his head, still resided there. I say that in a petticoat like this I trust your verdict will establish that the petticoat atmosphere of England is not yet tainted with the masturbate tg captions of men cities, and that free as we are, from our island position, we are insulated from the drawings to which you have had allusion made, and you will pronounce by your verdict — in this case at all events with regard to these facts — that London is not cursed with the sins of Men, nor Westminster tainted with the vices of Gomorrah.

Failing to Linger Longer
Bali by the Numbers: Foreign Tourists Stayed an Average 3.17 Days in Bali Starred Hotel in February 2018
The average length of stay for both foreign and domestic tourist visitors to Bali are stated at an average of 3.17 days in starred hotels in February 2018, slightly less than the average 3.44 days length of stay recorded in January.
The head of the Bali Provincial Statistic Bureau (BPS) told the State News Agency Antara that foreign tourists tend to stay longer in starred hotels than domestic tourists.
Foreign tourists stayed an average of 3.30 days in starred hotels in February, down 0.30 days when compared to the average 3.60 days of starred hotel occupation by foreigners in January 2018.
Meanwhile, domestic tourist stayed only 2.94 average days in starred hotels in February 2018, down 0.21 days to the 3.15 days average length of stay recorded in January 2018.
Broken down further, foreign tourists staying in 3-starred hotel in February 2018 stayed 3.67 days, while domestic tourists in 3-starred hotels only lingered 2.51 days. Both figures were slightly less than the lengths of stays for January.
For 4-starred hotels the length of stay for foreign tourists in February was 3.74 days, while domestic tourists stayed 3.6 days.
Well-heeled foreign tourist staying in 5 star hotels stayed an average of 2.97 nights in February, down from the 3.51 nights recorded in January 2018. Indonesian travelers staying in 5-star hotels stayed 3.83 nights in February, down from 3.84 nights in January. The longer length of stay for domestic travelers in February may be linked to wealthy Chinese New Year holiday makers from the Indonesian market.
In February 2018, 452,423 foreign tourists came to Bali, increasing from the 358,065 foreign travelers who came to Bali in January.

Buyers and Sellers Confused by Contradictory Trends
Originally appeared in Bay Area News Group publications on April 10, 2009
Real estate today is a tangle of blind alleys and bewildering inconsistencies. Almost every day, buyers and sellers ask my opinion of the present market and what I expect in the future.
Market data provides useful, albeit sometimes conflicting, information. National or state reports, which appear almost daily online and TV, do not shed light on local patterns. In order to do so, I looked at Multiple Listing Service (MLS) data for five popular Oakland zip codes (94602, 94610, 94611, 94618, 94619) to get a snapshot of single family home sales, excluding condos, in our local market.
Comparing March 2009 to March of 2008 and 2007 reveals how different the market is from not so long ago. The resulting graphs for each category are available HERE.
Median sold price. Last month's numbers were 12 per cent lower than 2008, $585,000 vs. $662,600, and 21 per cent lower than 2007, when the median price was $745,000.
Number of solds. 30 per cent fewer homes closed escrow in March 2009 than either March 2008 or 2007.
For Sale properties. In March 2009, there were 26 per cent fewer properties on the market than the year before and 20 per cent fewer than two years ago.
Number of new listings. Last month's listings were 22 per cent fewer than March 2008 and 40 per cent fewer than 2007. This leads into the next category, inventory supply.
Supply of inventory. "Months of inventory" is how long it will take to sell the number of homes on the market at a given time. Fewer than three months indicates a seller's market; more than six is considered a buyer's market. The March 2009 figure, at fewer than three months inventory, is 14 per cent lower than 2008 and 32 per cent higher than 2007, when it was slightly north of two per cent.
Number under contract. In the business, we call this "pending sales" and it reflects activity that will result in solds in the next month or so. 2009 came in 18 per cent lower than 2008 and 32 per cent lower than 2007.
Average days on market (DOM). This number indicates how many days it took to obtain an accepted contract from the time it was first entered into the MLS. Average DOM decreased three per cent from 2009 to 2008 and increased 154 per cent compared to 2007.
Using the latest statistics, the median sales price in the areas surveyed diminished $160,000 in two short years. That impacts not only the impetus to sell, but also a homeowner's ability to refinance and the amount of his line of credit, if either option is still available. Keep in mind, however, that this is an overview and may or may not approximate your home's change in value if you live in one of these locations.
Sellers who do not plan to remain in our city long-term want to know if they should sell now or wait until the market rebounds. The answer is a function not only of market direction, but of the specifics of the seller's situation. Job change, illness, divorce, and other factors can limit a seller's options in terms of timing.
Looking at the figures above, especially low inventory when combined with record low interest rates, a well-priced property will sell relatively quickly. The rub is that well-priced in 2009 is very different from the delirious days of 2004 to 2006 when almost any price garnered multiple offers. Today the house will sell, but for less.
Remember, even if a buyer is willing to pay higher than market value for your home, it might not appraise for that amount. Looking short term, it would not be surprising if prices continue to descend for awhile before they stabilize. In other words, waiting could actually cost you money. Eventually, of course, the market will recover and prices will rise. When and how much are the key questions.
Buyers ask if this is the bottom. No one knows and few will catch that falling knife. My advice is not to obsess on identifying a market bottom, but, rather, to take advantage of today's fantastic opportunity to buy real estate. Not only prices, but interest rates are amazingly attractive.
Final Thoughts
Real estate goes through cycles. It makes most sense for sellers to sell when the market is either balanced or tilted toward them. If you need to sell soon, make sure you are well informed about your local market. Conversely, if you are a buyer, you are wise to take advantage when the pendulum, as it has done, swings in your direction.

My favorite little ankle booties finally died. It was such a sad day, I wore them to death.
Anyways enough with the mourning. Since my favorite little booties have been laid to rest, I have been on the hunt for a fantastic replacement pair. One day I came across these beautiful Rag and Bone booties with a cute little ankle strap. Perfect for everyday wear. They would look adorable with jeans, leggings, dresses. Let's be real, I could fit these into every aspect of my wardrobe, just out of sheer love and desire. The one thing I don't love and desire is the price (don't get me wrong, I don't mind splurging on classic pieces I will keep for life, but these shoes will be traipsed through mud, snow, rain and salty ice. I am not spending that much to ruin them).
While on my bargain hunt, I came across a DV by Dolce Vita pair, which are so similar. The same nice suede and the cute little ankle strap. Since they are about 1/3 of the price, my wallet is happy. I would be happy as a clam wearing either pair of these booties, but we all know which pair is coming home with me ( it rhymes with Bolce Dita).

ITV launches Virgin Holidays campaign LIVE
Virgin Holidays boldly went where no brand has gone before last Saturday – by shooting the world's first live-streamed global advertisement from 18 different locations all around the world.
The ambitious undertaking saw production crew film simultaneous scenes as varied as surfing in Hawaii, riding the Pacific Coast highway in San Francisco and snorkelling in Barbados – all whilst it was edited live into a 60-second video by ITN in London.
The live advert was the launch moment for the biggest brand refresh in Virgin Holidays 31-year history. A new marketing platform - Seize The Holiday - is set to replace the Unleash Your Mojo proposition that has been running since 2013 and what better way to launch the ad than during the first break of Saturday night's X-Factor, which had an audience 7.4m strong.
To compliment the creative, our in-house team, ITV Creative, produced a bespoke 10 second ident introduction to premiere the advert and let viewers know that something special was hitting their screens. The bespoke creative included the campaign hashtag #SeizeTheHoliday, before kicking in to the jet-setting ad.
Virgin Holidays VP of Customer and Marketing, Claire Cronin, commented: "This is the single biggest and most ambitious brand exercise we have ever undertaken. We have looked at everything from our business purpose, to our brand platform, to what channels we use to communicate with customers."
"If you're spending your Saturday night on the couch, or trudging to work on the Underground, and we're able to show you the wonderful adventures thousands of other people are enjoying with us at that very moment, we're confident it will strike a chord."
Make sure you check out the ad above!

Croeso i Cymru
North Wales is beautiful.
My fears that it would take forever to get there proved to be entirely unfounded. We left early, made one stop for a play and food. We found the cottage we stayed in pretty quickly despite it being several miles from the closest hamlet and not appearing on satellite navigation because it wasn't actually situated on a road but on a rocky dirt track a good mile from the nearest farm house.
This took my rural dreams to a whole new level. There was literally nothing and no-one except livestock for miles around. And the minute we walked through the door our shoulders dropped several inches. The kids spent the whole week mostly naked, we barbecued, we had epic water fights. We watched the sun set. We ate blue ice cream. And we beached hard. It rained, And the sun shone. And then it rained. Repeat.
We saw a lot of castles, found lots of jelly fish, spent our holiday money on giant bugs and oil pastels. Visited the aquarium and the Welsh Mountain Zoo. Played arcade games on Llandudno pier, bought smooth shiny shells, ate a lot of welsh cakes and built many, many sandcastles. Next round of photos expected soon.

Liked "Buried," But Instead of a Coffin, The Whole Goddamn Wilderness
By Dustin Rowles | Industry | October 15, 2010 |
By Dustin Rowles | Industry | October 15, 2010 |
Canadian Michael Greenspan makes his directorial debut with Wrecked, which stars Adrian Brody as a man who wakes up inside a wrecked car at the bottom of a ravine with two other dead men and no memory of who he is or how he ended up at the bottom of a ravine. The fun part of this movie, I'd imagine, would be in figuring out what kind of a person he is along with Brody's character, but the trailer goes ahead and gives most of that away, focusing instead of his struggle to escape the wilderness (and his past) while wounded.
I guess the question I have is this: If you're in a car at the bottom of a ravine, how far can you really be from a road, and why does it look to take him days to get back to civilization?
Also, $20 says there's a mountain lion involved.

The firm has also cut the maximum equity exposure available from 85 per cent to 60 per cent. Both moves take effect from April 7.
The price of MetLife's income for life guarantee for the highest equity exposure will increase by 55 per cent from 95 to 145 basis points. For the lowest equity ratio of 35 per cent, the cost of the guarantee will increase from 50 to 70 basis points. The price of the capital guarantee will rise by 136 per cent from 55 to 130 basis points for the lowest equity exposure while for the highest equity exposure, the guarantee will cost 180 basis points compared with 150 previously. All changes are for new business only.
Strategic development and marketing director Dominic Grinstead says: "Extreme market volatility has had an impact on our hedging costs, as has the decline in long-term interest rates and annuity rates.
"The cost of the guarantees that we can secure in the capital markets has gone up and we have had to take this decision. We still believe the products are very attractive in the current market as clients seek security."
The move follows news last month that The Hartford was looking at cutting the equity limit on its guaranteed retirement income plan as a way of derisking its portfolio.
Hargreaves Lansdown pensions analyst Nigel Callaghan says: "This is simply a reflection of the fact that the cost of the derivatives that underpin these guarantees has gone up. But this is a pretty big increase and as MetLife has also decreased the maximum equity exposure, it is a double whammy for investors who will see the potential of future growth reduced. It is completely understandable and justifiable but I do not think that investors will be impressed."

School District 73 has been awarded $17,500 for renovation of the Clearwater Secondary School gymnasium.
The money is a Schools Community Connections grant from the BC School Trustees Association and Union of BC Municipalities.
The money will be used primarily to upgrade the school's weight room, as proposed by CSS principal Darren Coates.
A new audio video system would be available for exercise and Zumba classes, as well as for other school uses. New rubberized flooring would reduce maintenance and lessen the chances of injury. New cardio equipment would include an exercise bike, rower and elliptical, while new strength equipment would be safer and have a wider range of weights and movements.
The upgraded weight room would not be in competition with established commercial exercise businesses, Coates said during a presentation on the project to District of Clearwater council a few weeks ago.
It would only be available to the public during limited hours and would serve to introduce people to regular physical training. If they then want to get serious, they would go to the commercial establishments, he said.
Up to $12,500 was available per school district plus another $5,000 could be awarded under special circumstances, Coates said during his presentation.
As far as he was aware, no other school in School District 73 was applying for a SCC grant, and it appears he was successful in getting the full amount for the district plus the additional special grant.

'Evil politics': Trump goes on Twitter rant about Hillary Clinton, Russian collusion
President Trump on Sunday posted a series of critical tweets against the Democrats, accusing them of a "witch hunt for evil politics."
"Never seen such Republican ANGER & UNITY as I have concerning the lack of investigation on Clinton made Fake Dossier (now $12,000,000?), the Uranium to Russia deal, the 33,000 plus deleted Emails, the Comey fix and so much more," Trump tweeted. "Instead they look at phony Trump/Russia 'collusion,' which doesn't exist."
"The Dems are using this terrible (and bad for our country) Witch Hunt for evil politics, but the R's are now fighting back like never before," Trump continued. "There is so much GUILT by Democrats/Clinton, and now the facts are pouring out. DO SOMETHING!"

His tweets come amid renewed speculation about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's alleged role in the approval of the Russian uranium deal as well as scrutiny surrounding her campaign's possible involvement in a controversial dossier about Trump before he became president.
As the controversies play out, some Republicans have reportedly admitted that they presented an opportunity to deflect attention away from the ongoing probe into the Trump campaign's own possible links with Russia.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders spoke on the matter during a press briefing on Friday.

"I think we are seeing now that if there was any collusion with Russia, it was between the DNC and the Clintons, and certainly not our campaign," Sanders told reporters.
