Berkmar's parallel path
Governor Terry McAuliffe and Secretary of Transportation Aubrey Layne, along with about 70 other prominent guests, stood before the finally open (but not finished) Berkmar Drive extension on July 6. This is one of VDOT's eight ventures included in its $230 million Route 29 Solutions design-build project package.
When the governor first began campaigning in Charlottesville and Albemarle four years ago, he said people were angry about their roads, and Bill Crutchfield, a local entrepreneur, likely made the most noise. "Tell Bill the road is here," McAuliffe said, drawing laughter. And later he added, "You can bike, you can run, you can walk, you can do whatever you want."
The deets:
- 2.3 miles long
- 2 roundabouts (one on each end)
- 35mph speed limit
- $55 million
- Bike lane, sidewalk and 10' multi-use path
- Extends Berkmar Drive from Hilton Heights Road to Towncenter Drive
- Includes a bridge from the South Fork Rivanna River
Lee attacked
As if there weren't enough going on July 8, on the morning of the KKK rally, the statue of General Robert E. Lee was discovered vandalized with red paint and tagged with "Native land." Crews had the statue cleaned up in short order, and police have surveillance video from two recently installed cameras in Emancipation Park.
"The Charlottesville Police Department, the Virginia State Police and the City of Charlottesville owe our citizens an accurate account both of what happened on July 8 and why."—Mayor Mike Signer
Plugging the new meters
City Council voted July 6 to charge $1.80 an hour for the parking meters that will be installed on the Downtown Mall perimeter. To take the sting out of paid street parking, the first hour is free at Market Street Garage, and then the rate goes to $1.50 an hour. And low-wage earners can get $6.50 a day vouchers from their employers to park in the Market Street Garage.
Kroger abandons Seminole Square plans
A year ago the grocer announced a 100,000-square-foot, $28 million store in the space Giant previously occupied. On July 6, Kroger announced it had decided to stay put in its Emmet Street location. No word from Hobby Lobby, which reportedly was set to move into the vacated space, but Kroger holds a lease in Seminole Square that the store might want to look at.
Not amused
Kings Dominion closed the Tornado, one of the amusement park's water slides, July 5 when UVA medical assistant Christina Orebaugh hit her head on the ride and "almost drowned," according to a Facebook post by her husband, Steve, who says she is concussed, broke her collarbone and toe and fractured her shoulder. The ride is closed until further notice.
In the Vault
Fifty offices carrying the name Vault Virginia are under construction in the historic Bradbury and former Bank of America building on the Downtown Mall, where a luxury steakhouse will fill the first floor. James Barton, who also created Studio IX, says the local creative class will use his new communal workspace as another place to put their brains together.
About half of Vault Virginia's spaces are still for rent, with prices ranging from $1,500 to $2,500 per month. A desk space costs $450 per month and for $100 less, you can sit in any community area. Workers passing through town can purchase a day pass for $50.
Barton dubs the aesthetic as a place where commercial meets residential. We're talking pendant lighting and glass walls, folks. The building also has three event spaces, room for
three art galleries, a cafe, a library
and a kitchen, and Barton plans to eventually make showers and bicycle parking available.
Similar to Jaffray Woodriff's concept at the Charlottesville Technology Center, Barton says he's seeing a trend of communal workspaces. "This is a small part of a bigger vision."

17th September 2018
This month we're off to meet Carolyn Godlee, who along with her husband Julian runs the the very unique Cley Windmill in Norfolk. Full of history, Cley Windmill is set on the North Norfolk coast in the beautiful village of Cley-next-the-Sea, and offers breathtaking views across the water and famous local salt marshes. Carolyn tells us more about the history behind the windmill and why a stay here is so unique and memorable.
BB – Can you tell us a little about the history of Cley Windmill
Cley windmill wаs built іn the early 19th century. We're not quite sure when exactly, but it was first mentioned in the Norfolk Chronicle in 1819 when it was up fоr sale described аs "newly erected". It was owned by the Farthing family and then the Burroughes family, all of whom ran it as a working mill. In 1921 it was sold to a Mrs Wilson and her sister, who was a nun – Sister Rachel – lived in the mill. Here she is rowing on the River Glaven which fronts the mill.
One of the rooms, The Millers Room, has the remains of a little shrine where Sister Rachel used to pray.
During this time, the mill was converted to a holiday home and the machinery removed, wіth the gear wheels being cut іn half аnd used аs decoration within the mill.
The mill wаs inherited by Lt Col Hubert Blount іn 1934, and in 1953, the mill wаs flooded tо а depth оf аt least 8ft during the Great Floods. When Lt Col Blount died in 1979, the mill was inherited by Colonel Charles Blount and under his ownership it was turned into a guesthouse with additional self catering units in some of the outhouses. His son, the singer, James Blunt, spent lots of time at the mill!
Іn 2006 the windmill wаs temporarily owned by Charles Blount's cousin, John Woodhouse, before we took it on later that year. Since then, there's been an extensive programme of renovation. The sails and fanstage and balcony have all been replaced and we've opened up the Wheel Room and Bathroom at the very top of the windmill. The views are amazing up there and the room is accessed via a steep ladder. You have to sign a waiver if you want to stay in this room, and needless to say it's the most popular room of all. If you want to have this room you usually need to book a long time in advance!!
We've also renovated all of the rooms and the gardens, as well as converting the Old Cart Shed into a beautiful new suite complete with stunning oak four poster bed.
BB – You have owned the mill since 2006. What drew you to this particular property?
Well, it was a windmill!!! Julian's parents used to own the windmill up the road, Weybourne Windmill, and he was gutted when they sold it. He loves windmills! So when Cley Windmill came onto the market he moved heaven and earth to make it possible. I was a little less keen at first – after all, a windmill is quite a responsibility – but 12 years down the line I don't regret a minute of it. It's a wonderful old building and it deserves the very best in terms of love and care. We're both hugely proud of it and see ourselves as just the current custodians of this grand old lady of the sea. Julian is a doctor and I'm a retired headmistress, but we have really enjoyed getting stuck in as hospitality owners. It's completely different! We've got 4 children and they've all played their part in looking after the place too – each of them has worked here in various capacities – front of house, housekeeping, marketing, reception – you name it, they've done it! They love it too.
BB – Tell what makes a stay at Cley Windmill so special
There's nothing else quite like it! From the moment you drive up and say' wow!' it's just really special. The staff are welcoming, warm and friendly, the rooms are so comfortable with lovely fabrics, gorgeous beds and every home comfort, the views are stunning, the visit up to the gallery is an unforgettable experience (and if you are staying in the Stone Room you get your own private bit of balcony), the sight of the boats navigating their way up and down the river at the bottom of the garden is just gorgeous, the food is scrummy, but most of all, it's just a great place to relax and unwind. Our guests come back again and again – they often like to try out different rooms. Lots of people choose to get married here (we have a wedding licence and we have around 72 weddings a year) – and then they come back to celebrate their wedding anniversaries. It's quite a romantic place as you can imagine, so we also get lots of proposals up on the balcony.
Houseparties are really popular too. People love to take the place over (we sleep up to 24) and have lots of fun using the mill as their own but escaping all the hard work, thanks to the brilliant staff who keep everywhere looking lovely and provide the delicious breakfasts and dinners. We do lots of big birthdays and cakes are another speciality. We're also a popular venue for wine tasting evenings and murder mysteries!
BB – Tell us about the local area and the various things for guests to see and do.
There's loads to do. I'm not sure where to start. But suffice to say that we have an abundance of National Trust properties, stately homes, fantastic beaches, sailing, cycling, walking, trips out to see the seals on Blakeney Point, many lovely coastal villages to visit, the lovely Georgian market town of Holt – the list goes on and on.
BB – You are licensed to hold civil ceremonies. What makes a wedding at Cley Windmill unique
Well, for a start it's pretty different to be able to say you got married in a windmill! It's quirky and memorable, small, romantic and lovely. The guests find it very special too as they are so involved in the ceremony given the nature of the room – we have the ceremony in the round beamed sitting room. Or in the summer, lots of couples opt to get married outside on the front lawn in front of the swaying reeds with the sea in the distance. And the photos …….. wow! They really are something special and so different from the norm. Lots of our couples have windmill themed cakes and table decorations. Some like to give their guests windmill towels, or chocolates, you name it….. we provide it! It's such a lovely setting and always so inviting. The other thing which makes it really special is the fact that lots of couples take over the whole place for one or two nights. It's wonderful to see the whole event through from beginning to end. They're completely self-contained here!
BB – What do you enjoy most about running a B&B
Well, I can't take the credit for the great success that Cley Windmill has become. I have a brilliant team here, led by Rebecca and Sarah our managers and we're one big family. I think that's really important – the feeling of pulling together with a shared aim – that being the happiness and satisfaction of everyone who comes to stay here, or to dine here. I get a real kick out of seeing the windmill looking ever more beautiful (it's a difficult building to maintain and hugely expensive but it's worth it). We put every penny of profit back into the maintenance of the building as it's such a special place. I love the fact that lots of people can enjoy it – whether to come and stay here, or get married here, or simply come for dinner. It's lovely to be able to share it with others.
BB – Can you sum up a stay at Cley Windmilll in three words.
Unique, memorable, special.

Do any of these fit you?
• I am frozen/stuck, with one foot always trapped in the past.
• I used to be able to handle life but things aren't working the way they used to. I don't know what else to do.
• I'm exhausted. Everything is dangerous – I must always be on guard and ready.
• I feel like I'm an open wound and most things and people are cheese graters rubbing against me.
• I feel split/fractured/broken. The pieces of my life are all around me and they don't fit back together.
• BUT, what happened isn't as bad as _______________ (insert comparison here), so I shouldn't complain.
If any of these represent your experience, you might be dealing with trauma.
BUT, it doesn't have to be a life sentence!

Hi! Currently I am using a method for prepapration of nuclear extracts that uses dounce homogenisation with a high salt buffer with glycerol followed by ultracentrifugation. The problem is that my protein of interest is hydrophobic and I would like to include 0.1% triton-x-100 or NP40 to avoid precipitation of my protein.

Here is a list of do's and dont's provided by the Clark County Health department. The performance and life span of your septic system is directly dependent on how the system is operated and maintained. With proper care, a typical system should operate relatively trouble free for between twenty and thirty years.
- Learn the location of your septic system, drainfield and reserve area, and keep a sketch of it with the maintenance records.
- Have your septic tank inspected by a certified O & M specialist as required per CCC 24.17.
- Keep your septic tank cover accessible for inspections and pumping. Install risers if necessary.
- Keep detailed records of repairs, pumpings, inspections, permits, and other maintenance activities.
- Conserve water to avoid overloading the system; stagger wash load days and repair any leaks.
- Divert other sources of water (roof drains, house footing drains, sump pumps) away from system.
- Contact a professional when you experience problems with your system.
- Obtain a permit from Clark County Public Health (397-8428) for all repairs and alterations.
- Use household cleaners in moderation and follow directions on labels.
- Don't enter a septic tank; toxic gases are produced in the tank that can be deadly within minutes.
- Don't drive, park, or do any activity that will compact the soil on top of the system.
- Don't plant anything over or near the drainfield except grass. Roots can damage the drain lines, and trees may shade the drainfield. Excessive irrigation over or near the system may also cause damage.
- Don't dig into the drainfield or cover it with any hard surface or building.
- Don't repair your system without a required permit from Clark County Public Health (397-8428).
- Don't use septic tank additives.
- Don't use your system as a trash can for grease, coffee grinds, cigarette butts, diapers, sanitary napkins, tampons, condoms, paper towels, plastics, cat litter, latex paints, pesticides, any hazardous chemical, or other non-biodegradable substance.
For more information on how to properly maintain your septic system. Download this PDF from the Clark County Health Department.

Everyone knows those most basic of all firearms handling mantras.
1. Treat every gun as if they are always loaded
2. Only aim at something you are prepared to destroy and known what's behind it
3. Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire.
However even these three simple rules are often forgotten, neglected, or just blown past by those who would and should know better. New gun owners and those who have just received a new gun see the worst violations of these rules. In the excitement and rush of this shiny new piece of steel, things can get very real very quick.
Sometimes, before you even leave the parking lot.
Bend Oregon
KTVZ in Central Oregon reports that, "A Bend man who bought a handgun at Fred Meyer Tuesday morning went back inside just minutes later -- not to return it or ask a question, but to seek medical help, having shot himself in the hand while loading it, police said.
Officers say the man, in his late 20s, went back into the store just before noon and told employees he'd just shot himself.
They said he had just bought the .22 Magnum Derringer and was in his pickup, loading it when it went off. The round went through his left hand and into the truck's door, officers said.
(These simple 2-barrel derringers have been around for 150-years, but if you aren't familiar with them, they can have a pretty rough bite)
Butler, Pennsylvania
The North Penn Reporter broke the story that "State police say a western Pennsylvania man who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound had just bought a new gun and apparently fired it accidentally.
Troopers from the Butler barracks say 21-year-old Matthew Jude Hughes shot himself in the abdomen about 1:30 a.m. Tuesday at a residence in Center Township, about 30 miles north of Pittsburgh.
Police say three other people were there at the time, but not in the same room.
Trooper Dan Kesten says police are still investigating, but believe Hughes shot himself because he may not have been familiar with the weapon."
How to prevent this
Every gun come with a manual, and if it doesn't contact the maker and they will provide one free. They can ususally be found online in pdf format. Use them!
Both of the above were first reported on the same day this week. While it is second nature amongst the males of our species to buy something, be it computer, grill, power tool, Blu-ray player, whatever, and never bother to crack the manual until messes up, doing this with a gun can get you killed. Always read the firearm's manual cover to cover first, and inspect the operation of any new (or new to you) gun without any ammunition in the same room to ensure that you are well aware of everything about it before you attempt to load it for the first time.
Even then, follow the three basic rules. I was not in Butler, PA or Bend Oregon this week to tell you for sure, but odds are, if these gentlemen would have followed the three basic rules, these stories would not exist.
Nevertheless, they do, so learn from them.
Be safe out there.
Every Gun is Always Loaded -- Even New Ones

Standards for emergency stopping rates of web handling equipment are not prescribed. There is a standard that calenders must stop in the distance between the finger-tip and shoulder. This is untenable in 2018. We can and must do better.
A few comments about safety and stopping.
- Standards for E-Stop have not changed in decades.
- Guarding and guard interlocks are more important than E-Stop. This is because the guarding prevents an injury and E-Stop limits an injury already underway. Guarding standards become more rigorous every year.
- The E-Stop function is required by all current standards in addition to guarding.
- The guard interlocking will initiate the same type of safety stop and E-Stop in almost all cases. Stopping types are defined in NFPA 79, ISO 13850 as Category 0 (Coast Stop), Category 1 (Regenerative stop for a period of time followed by coast stop). Adding a mechanical brake is sometimes required in particularly hazardous applications (elevators and mine hoists).
- The stopping time is one of the variables in the calculation of safe distance (if light curtain, scanner, etc. is used). Generally, the e-stopping time for web handling equipment will result in a need for locking guard interlocks – subject to a risk assessment.
- Generally drives used in web handling are underpowered in term of providing an emergency stop fast enough to be protected with a light curtain (or similar device)
- It is sometimes possible to provide quick enough stopping times during threading if thread speed is limited (again using the required safety category to ensure the speed is limited).
My best professional advice is to provide a Control Reliable e-stop but do an excellent job engineering the guarding and interlocking. Include a written risk assessment – what are the hazards? What category or Performance Level of guarding and guard interlocking is required? Include a safe distance calculation if light curtains, mats, scanners are used.

Point sur les pansements hémostatiques
Un article récent fait le tour des pansements hémostatiques.
J. Granville-Chapman, N. Jacobs and M.J. Midwinter
Uncontrolled haemorrhage is a leading cause of prehospital death after military and civilian trauma. Exsanguination from extremity wounds causes over half of preven military combat deaths and wounds to the anatomical junctional zones provide a particular challenge for first responders. Commercial products have been developed, which claim to outperform standard gauze bandages in establishing and maintaining non-surgical haemostasis. Since 2004, two advanced haemostatic dressing products, HemCon and QuikClot have been widely deployed in military operations. Newer products have since become available which aim to provide more efficient haemostasis than and thus supersede HemCon and QuikClot.
To conduct a systematic review of clinical and preclinical evidence to compare the relative efficacy and safety of available haemostatic products, which are of relevance to pre-hospital military and civilian emergency medical providers.
An English language literature search was performed, using PubMed® and Web of Knowledge® Databases, with cross-referencing, focussed product searches and communication with product manufacturers. For studies employing animal models, the injury model was required to produce fatal haemorrhage. Products were categorised by primary mode of action as either factor concentrators, mucoadhesive agents or procoagulant supplementors.
From 60 articles collated, 6 clinical papers and 37 preclinical animal trials were eligible for inclusion in this review. Products have been tested in three different types of haemorrhage model: low pressure, high volume venous bleeding, high pressure arterial bleeding and mixed arterial-venous bleeding. The efficacy of products varies with the model adopted. Criteria for the 'ideal battlefield haemostatic dressing' have previously been defined by Pusateri, but no product has yet attained such status. Since 2004, HemCon (a mucoadhesive agent) and QuikClot (a factor concentrator) have been widely deployed by United States and United Kingdom Armed Forces; retrospective clinical data supports their efficacy. However, in some recent animal models of lethal haemorrhage, WoundStat (mucoadhesive), Celox (mucoadhesive) and CombatGauze (procoagulant supplementor) have all outperformed both HemCon and QuikClot products.
HemCon and QuikClot have augmented the haemostatic capabilities of the military first aid responder, but newer products demonstrate potential to be more effective and should be considered as replacements for current in service systems. These products could have utility for civilian pre-hospital care.

Tangy Ladies Fingers
Vegetable February 20th, 2008
Tangy Ladies Fingers. A rather exotic sounding name for a dish, isn't it? Well, I am not good in giving names to recipes which I create or experiment with but this would do. For this dish, I have stayed away from using sambal to cook ladies fingers (okra) but have opted for something which even children can eat. It tastes sweet and tangy due to the use of sugar and calamansi juice. The use of fried shallots give it a nice smoky aroma and fish sauce complements it well.
Most importantly, this dish is easy to cook and is fuss free. I suppose the time taken to slice the okra (ladies fingers) is longer than the actual time to cook this dish. Do use a really hot wok as you will need to cook this dish very quickly to maintain the okra's crunchiness.
This is my recipe for Tangy Ladies Fingers
- 200 grammes ladies fingers (cut off ends and slice it thinly about 5 mm thick)
- 5 shallots (sliced thinly)
- 10 grammes of dried prawns (pre-rinsed)
- 50 ml hot water
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- juice from 2 pieces of calamansi lime
- a pinch of salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
Heat oil in wok and saute shallots. Just as shallots are turning brown, add dried prawns. Stir well till shallots begin to turn brown. Then add ladies fingers.
Stir evenly and add seasoning whilst sprinkling water to keep it ladies fingers from burning.
Dish up and serve.

This looks delicious – I definitely want to try it!
February 22nd, 2008 at 7:05 am
Love okra! I once made a spicy version. Served with rice, perfect for dinner or lunch 🙂
February 22nd, 2008 at 3:32 pm
Sounds nice. I think the fried shallots adds a lot of flavor to this dish too! yum!
March 17th, 2008 at 11:59 am
Su-Lin : Try it. It's simple 😀
mycookinghut : Yes, the popular version is spicy. This, however, is safe for kids 🙂
tigerfish : Yeah, the smoky fried shallots give it a nice body. Try it once and see if you like it.
Reena : Really? I am not aware though I thought it would be more Thai-like. In any event, it's Asian 😀

Republicans are delusional when they say we're better off with President Donald Trump, just ask the 2.1 million federal workers who are worse off now than they were at the start of the decade.
We have someone in the oval office who has denigrated the office of the presidency. His dishonesty and lack of principles are astounding. Ethics? Nowhere to be found. Dignity? Not a chance.

Icap heads the FTSE 100 leaderboard at midday – on the back of IG's upbeat trading statement earlier.
Everyone involved in trading is seeing a boost from IG's surge. Icap is up 4.7% at 429p. IFA Hargreaves Lansdown is up 3.8% to 440p, and inter-dealer broker Tullett Prebon has risen 2.1% to 337.
Of course, Icap's rise might be to do with its comments at the weekend – that it would relocate if a proposed transaction tax were introduced in the EU, but it is hard to see how investors could be precisely sure how such a move would benefit Icap.
Elsewhere, the banks are not joining in the rally. Royal Bank of Scotland is the biggest faller, down almost 4% to 19.95p, while Lloyds Banking Group is down 1% to 28p and Barclays has fallen 0.7% to 149p.
The FTSE 100 broke through the three-figure gain line earlier – and is now 94 points up, a rise of 1.9%.
The market will be keeping an eye on two things this afternoon. Firstly, the ECB will again reveal how much it spent last week buying Eurozone bonds at 2:30. Last Monday it emerged it had spent €22bn, a record for its bond-buying programme.
The Dow Jones, meanwhile, is expected to open 58 points up on the back of the European rally.

Doctors have long encouraged patients to slash their salt intake for good heart health.
The American Heart Association advises people to consume no more than 1,500 milligrams a day of sodium to reduce their risk of high blood pressure, heart attacks, stroke and kidney disease. This is less than half of what people consume now.
One reason for this advice: Elevated blood pressure is a major public health problem. About 90 percent of all Americans will develop hypertension over their lifetime, the heart association says.
But a European study coordinated in Belgium raises questions about sodium's effect on the heart.
Researchers followed 3,681 people, average age 40, for about eight years, testing sodium excretion in the urine. They found that systolic blood pressure (top number) was slightly lower in those who excreted less sodium, but that didn't translate into a lower risk of cardiovascular death. In fact, those with lower sodium excretion had an increased risk of cardiovascular death. The findings were consistent in participants younger and older than 60.
Jan Staessen, a professor of medicine at the University of Leuven in Belgium and one of the authors of the report in Wednesday's Journal of the American Medical Association, says the study does not support the recommendation of a general reduction of salt intake for everyone, although salt reduction could be beneficial in lowering the blood pressure of people with hypertension. Reducing salt "is recommended for people with high blood pressure and people with heart failure, but recommending it to the population as a whole, I wouldn't do without proving it's completely safe," he says.
"If one lowers sodium intake to lower blood pressure, this change in sodium activates several systems that conserve sodium, and those systems are implicated in disease processes such as damaging the arterial wall and kidneys."
The findings may apply to Americans of white European descent but might be less applicable to blacks because they are believed to be more salt-sensitive, he says.
The research is drawing fire from medical experts here. Ralph Sacco, president of the American Heart Association and chairman of neurology at the University of Miami, says this is only one study of a relatively young, mostly white population-and blood pressure tends to rise with age and affect African Americans disproportionately.
"We have based our recommendations on the many scientific studies which show a strong relationship between reduced sodium consumption and a lower risk of heart attacks, congestive heart failure and stroke," he says. "There are good randomized, controlled studies-the gold standard of scientific studies-that show a lower sodium diet has a meaningful effect on blood pressure."
Atlanta cardiologist Gina Lundberg supports the 1,500-milligram limit: "We're all eating too much sodium too many prepared, processed foods."
Leaders in the salt industry applaud the new research. "This study basically says that salt reduction to reduce cardiovascular disease is a strategy that is not going to work," says Morton Satin of the Salt Institute, an industry group.

Article content
Every day, you check real estate listings online. On the weekends, you drive through neighbourhoods seeking out For Sale signs. So, it may be safe to say, you're on the fast track to buying your first home. You're not alone: In 2013, 57% of new homes were bought by first-time buyers, according to the Canadian Association of Mortgage Professionals. But are you financially prepared for potentially the largest purchase you'll ever make? Do you have enough money for the down payment and for the monthly household costs that will follow for many years?
Good questions — and ones that Canadian home buyers plan to approach in a variety of ways. About one-third of buyers plan to have at least a 20% down payment, according to www.ratehub.ca. The minimum down payment in Canada is 5% of the home price with the average down payment ranging from 5% to 20%.
A down payment of less than 20% (called a high ratio mortgage) requires mandatory mortgage default insurance offered through a provider such as Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC), Genworth Canada or Canada Guaranty that protects the lenders in case of borrower default. The premiums are calculated as a percentage of your mortgage amount and are paid off over the life of your loan. By applying a higher down payment, the default insurance premium will be lower. (Note: Home prices over $1 million require a minimum 20% down payment.)
The amount of your down payment effects:
The home price you can afford.
The size of your mortgage and monthly payment amount.
The amount of mortgage default insurance you'll pay.
The sources for your down payment can be:
Saving a fixed amount from each paycheque, selling investments or personal property or borrowing from family or friends.
The home buyer's plan that allows you to withdraw up to $25,000 from assets held within your RRSP ($50,000 per couple, assuming they meet the criteria) for a down payment without any immediate tax consequences. The withdrawal is repayable in equal installments over a 15-year period to avoid income inclusion.
A tax-free savings account allows you to make withdrawals at any time for any purpose. There aren't any restrictions on the amount withdrawn or obligation to repay, unlike the home buyer's plan, and you won't encounter related tax issues down the road.
Buying your first home and figuring out how to pay for it isn't as easy as it might seem — and your choices will stay with you for many, many years. Your professional adviser can help you make the right choices for you.

It may be reassuring to hear that the big tech experts on our list this year don't think robo-advisors are too much of a threat. If the only thing you do for your clients is asset allocation, you might need to take a look at your value proposition, but many of our IA 25 honorees agreed that robo-advisors could be an opportunity for advisors to provide services on a broader scale.
That doesn't mean advisors can lull themselves into a false sense of security. Make no mistake, robo-advisors are a disruptive force. Just because they won't take away your business doesn't mean they won't change it.
Click through the following slides to hear from the IA 25 honorees who shared their thoughts on these new competitors, a topic that, as Editor-in-Chief Jamie Green said, "came up unbidden so often that I began to bring it up on purpose."
Bernie Clark
Executive Vice President, Schwab Advisor Services
Clark feels robo-advisors will exist as a "complement" to traditional advisors. "We've done a lot of work that shows most individuals still want a relationship" with a human advisor, he told Editor-in-Chief Jamie Green.
Clark suggested the solution may be for advisors to use some of the robo-advisors' modeling tools "in their practices," especially for "clients below their minimums or children of clients."
If that doesn't assuage advisors' concerns about the competitive threat robo-advisors pose, he pointed out that online advice hasn't had to perform in difficult markets. "If we have five years of the markets heading straight up," robo-advisors "will do well; if we have three years up and two years down," investors "will want to talk to somebody."

Dan Skiles
President, Shareholders Service Group
Robo-advisors may be able to provide simple advice cheaply, but Skiles reminded Editor-in-Chief Jamie Green that your clients have complex lives. "Life is not consistent; questions come up throughout the year that you never anticipated." Robo-advisors provide a consistent investing experience, but human advisors "are there for those questions."
For example, Skiles ticked off some issues that advisors help solve for their clients: staying knowledgeable about cost-basis legislation, how to pay for health care, whether the timing is right to do a Roth IRA rollover. He asked, "Can a robo-advisor answer those?"
Yes, if an advisor's practice is "all about investments, maybe you should be concerned." If you do more for your clients, though, but have had to turn some away because they don't meet your minimums, maybe this is an opportunity. "I'd encourage advisors who've been raising their minimums year after year to think about a different offering that allows them to serve people with less money," Skiles said.
Joel Bruckenstein and David Drucker
Founders, Technology Tools for Todoay (T3)
If an advisor isn't providing much more than asset allocation services, "yeah, I think you're in trouble," Bruckenstein told Executive Managing Editor Danielle Andrus, "because robo-advisors are offering those kinds of services, if not for free, for next to nothing." However, "most good advisors provide many, many services that go beyond just asset allocation."
Drucker was magnanimous about robo-advisors. He said, "There's room in the industry for all different sizes of players and all different types of players. We were told about 10 or 15 years ago that by now the industry would be all large shops, and smaller practitioners wouldn't be able to survive. I think that's been disproved."
Skip Schweiss
President, TD Ameritrade Trust Company; Managing Director, Advisor Advocacy & Industry Affairs, TD Ameritrade Institutional
Schweiss said even more than regulation, advisors should maybe be more concerned about what "the rise of the online advice providers."
"I've been in this industry serving advisors since 1989, and for as long as I have been doing this, advisors have told me 'We can't serve middle America,'" Schweiss told Editor-in-Chief Jamie Green.
Instead, those lower-net-worth people are "served by the IBD rep or by the insurance broker or a mutual fund company. Now we're getting an answer to that need" with robo-advisors. "
If advisors don't think robo-advisors can compete with the gentle touch of a trusted advisor, Schweiss reminded us, "At what point did Barnes & Noble not see Amazon as a threat?"
However, just because it happened to them doesn't mean it will happen to you—after all, "Turbo Tax didn't eliminate accountants, and WebMD didn't kill doctors"—but that doesn't mean you can ignore robo-advisors as a competitor.

We felt it here in Vidn Bulgaria… our bed was shaking and the wind chimes hanging from the ceiling were tinkling… ive never felt anything like it before…
lol i am from Bulgaria here was very scary
Strange I have never heard of an earthquake in Bulgaria that I can recall in the news..anyone else?
I was as surprised as you are…I heard of the quake in Italy but nothing about Bulgaria…Strange…indeed…
Here in Australia – there was no report on the earthquake in Italy not on the tv and not in the newspaper. If you dont look for things yourself, in Australia you would have no idea that anything was happening at all….I am sure there will be no report on this earthquake either…
Also felt in Central Serbia around 200 miles from Sofia
Dear God,please help us,we do not want to be scared and I want to send love to our mother Earth and I pray for the earthquakes to stop.
Hi Valentina,
God created heaven and earth, and still provides for all it. However, His master creation is you and I. He loves us, hears our prayers and wants us to trust in Him. So tonight I will join you in prayer that His Holy Spirit will come and take away your fear away and fill your heart with peace. Rest in God.
"God is our refuge and strength,
always ready to help in times of trouble.
So we will not fear when earthquakes come
and the mountains crumble into the sea." Psalm 46:1-2
I am from the US and staying in a hotel on the 7th floor and will be packing an emergency evacuation kit just in case!!
I'm from Sofia .. The terrible noise and clink of windows woke up me .. Was dark and so scary.. Till now I can't calm down …
From Sofia, felt it. It was 3 am. There were 3 strong quakes one after another. Now I think the strongest one wakes me up and I felt the rest 2 ones. Coming to think of, the scary part is that I think I missed the first one… And I thought I was awake before the earthquake. Was long and strong, horizontal waves. Thankfully, no casualties or major damage. Interestingly, I had a scary dream wast night, but I didn't interpreted it like it will be an earthquake. My dog was scared, but I didn't find signs from it before the quake. The night before I fell asleep didn't hear howling from the dogs or cats outside or strange animal behavior. An hour and a half aftershock.
Also felt in Central Macedonia and we just felt another shock I don't know is it after shock or another Eartquake.
Jesbai, you be careful!! We want you home in one piece!
We felt it here in Bansko, very scary. Hope there is no more. Warren & Debbie
Baby awoke and started crying. Minutes later, BANG. Very short but explosive shock – loud as a lightning strike. More slight tremors at 04:22. Not much effect so far – parquet has shifted enough to creak, that's all. Checked reports on computer.
The XVIIth Karmapa predicted many catastrophic events in 2012-2013, especially natural disasters, mainly earthquakes. He produced an image and prayer for protection – http://buddyzm.eu/images/stories/nauczyciele/ochronna_flaga_Karmapy.jpg
I dreamed quake 2 nights ago… no sleepin' this night
Very lightly i did feel it (north of Istanbul) my neigbours confirmed this as well. This earthquake could eb connected to italian as consequence, Best wishes to all , be safe.
I live in Nis, Serbia, 140km from Sofia. It scared me very much. I felt pressure in my head a moment later my chair was shaking
I woke in the 3 am quake. I am in Tserovo in the Pazardjik Region, Bulgaria. I refelcted after it that the experience was like being on top of an old washing maching in the spin cycle. Conscious there would be aftershocks I prepared in my mind and went outside to sense where best to stay/go as necessary. Thankfully, on this occasion, though this one caused disturbance to people and animals, it seems relatively small physical damage occured even near the epicentre, and that, so far, there is no injury, or none actually reported. For this I feel we have so much to be thankful; it's literally a wake-up call to us all to become more awake and more actively thankful (which dispells fear) more peaceful, more together, and more prepared for everything.
Was asleep here in Ukraine and didn't feel anything where we're at, but my cat was crazy all night. Woke me up several times, crying, pawing at the covers on the bed. We are far from the epicenter of this quake, but have felt quakes coming from Romania before (never Turkey, though, which I find strange – the Black Sea must absorb the vibration?). Anyway, I wonder if this is what had my cat acting so weird last night – she felt the waves as they traveled through the earth??? She wanted me UP this morning as well – no sleeping in today! 🙂
I don't know if someone replied to the question "when was the last big earthquake in Bulgaria" but for your information, there was a important one in 1977, I think it was about 7 on the Richter squale. I could not sleep after the first eathquake, we are lucky that there are not any victims….
This is amazing! I live in Brooklyn, New York and just woke up at 1:30 am and the first thing I do is come to the website to make sure of any updates. I than see this earthquake news and i can't tell you how much I feel for everyone that has experienced this. I know it has to be so scary, but to actually witness peoples true raw feelings at the moment they are going through it is unbelievable. This has to show you what a good job you are doing to help people because no main stream news is reporting it. I want to thank you so much look what you have done you have let people not only get the real news, but connect with eachother in such scary and emotional times. I hope everyone is ok and my thoughts and prayers are with all of you and everywhere else where they are going through such tramatic events. I'm again going to say thanks Alvin, if you didn't do this we would be in the dark and we wouldn't be able to connect with eachother from all over the world.
Great Job!
It was 5.9 and not 5.6
I am from Sofia and it was very scary…
I live in Sofia and I woke up from very strong vibration and noise and jumped out of my bed, It was awful……….
Hello Emi – what is your locality in Sofia? I used to be right in the centre near Popa from October 2006. I remember an earthquake in my time there, one afternoon, but not its date. I know it was the same week or even the same day as there was an explosion at a munitions depot in Sofia! and there was an almighty thunderstorm! Just another quiet week. I hope you are feeling OK and have the chance soon to make up on broken sleep and recover from that shock to your CNS. Breathe deeply and slowly… Go well.
We are glad you are Safe Emi, We are in Vidin and we felt it also… hope that your neighbors are also safe.. x hugs from us.:)
thank you so much 🙂 thank God, me and my neighbours are fine, my best wishes for you
Alvin, could the booming sound in the channel islands be associated with the earthquakes along the alpide belt?
May god bless and keep safe everyone who has been affected by the recent earthquakes.
With. Love and light.
I live in Spofia. When the first quake was felt, the electricity went down. Shortly after that came the second one. Both of them were very powerful, the building was shaking, books were falling from the shelves. A lot of people went outside and stayed there for about an hour and a half. Later another aftershock was felt. My bed was shaking
I'm an American, but i live in Denmark.
Although we never get any earthquakes around this area.
Thanks again for ALL your updates Alvin.
I'm here reading every 5th hour or so, if not on PC than on my Iphone, hehe. Mainstream media is not reporting anything. Most people have absolutely NO clue what's going on around the globe, and any mention to them is just "Normal"
Alvin, do you think it's possible for Denmark to experience earthquakes soon?
I am from Sofia. It was awful.
On top of the earthquakes, we have a highly severe weather with hailstorm and some flood.
Alvin, why do you think the media here in the uk aren't reporting this? I feel it's important that people know.
Keep safe, everyone and be with those you love.
i´m from Portugal and am thinking that we are next in line, with a nasty tectonic fault along our coast and with some regular intervals of 250 years in between big quakes i would say it qualifys us for a major one pretty soon
What is the significance of June 5th, do you know Alvin? Isn't the Venus Transit on the 6th? <— is confused…….again
Alvin, there seems to be a "dire warning" out there about this, shrouded in mystery, can you explain what it is… And what your own thoughts… thanks!
What really bothers me is the report states that the region the earthquake occurred is especially prone to large seismic earthquakes. I don't know the history of seismic activity in the area but I have to question, WHY would they ever decide to build a nuclear power plant in the region that is especially prone to "large seismic earthquakes?" I checked with Wikipedia and there were reactors built as recently as the '90s there and even under the section of "safety concerns and consequent partial shut-down" there is no mention of seismic activity being a concern to the plant. I grow weary of the media expecting us to believe "oh it's no big deal, it happens all the time." with these recent earth moving events everywhere, When clearly it does NOT.
Hi. I'm from Sofia and I felt the earthquake. It was terrible! My whole apartment building was shaking and books were falling off the shelves. Luckily, I and all of the people I know are okay and safe. I am, however, offended of all the #PRAYFORSELENA tweets. Why not #PRAYFORBULGARIA? I do think the event should be on the news as it was a big earthquake. It was up there with Ferrara. Thank you, Gergana.
We live in Sofia, in an area that is close to Pernik, the epicenter. The first M5.6 earthquake on May 22nd at 3AM woke me up and we live on the 6th floor, it woke us up. it started as a small vibration getting more aggressive every second, and then it started to violently 'shove' us around left right left right, it was SO strong, paintings fell down and glass broke. It lasted 2 minutes, it was the scariest thing we have ever experienced in our lives!!! ;'( we stayed up listening to the radio until 6AM, and experienced the 2 'small' aftershocks- M4.9 and M4.3. The earthquakes are accompanied by a VERY loud rumbling sound. It was the scariest day of my life! I never used to be scared of the dark before, and after this night- i am TERRIFIED to even step out of bed in the dark, i have become extremely frightened of the dark, and loud noises. Then, last night, at 01:02AM we felt the 4th shake- M4.3 which lasted around 5 seconds. I am in bed now and very very scared… 😦
