Purchasing real estate is probably the biggest investment one ever has to make, however, if done right can be extremely rewarding. Real estate not just serves as a house or place for economic activity; it can also generate substantial capital gains. Here are 5 reasons why you purchase your own property as soon as possible.
1. Real Estate Is a Physical Home
You should always buy your own home as the first investment in real estate. Your home is a source of pride and envy of others. You would take utmost care in designing and making modifications to your home. Since it is your own house, you would also be able to undertake large renovations without concern that you are adding value to somebody else's property. Even if you are staying with your parents right now, you should always do the groundwork and prepare for the day you would move out and get your own residence. For those getting married and looking to start a family, buying a home should be a priority. The house is a physical asset and serves a practical purpose. As such a house will always have a value no matter what.
2. Housing Loans Provides Leverage at Low Cost
Only a housing loan can provide for up to 90% of the property value. The reason is simple; banks are comfortable with the long term value of properties and thus can give a high margin loan at very affordable interest rates. Also, few people can purchase a house outright; they would most definitely need to get a housing loan. The housing loan serves as a leverage to amplify the returns of both rental and capital appreciation on capital invested. For example, if you bought a house of $300k with 10% down payment and the property appreciates by 10%, you have already made a 100% return on your investment! ($30k increase based on $30k down payment). The housing loan rates are also the cheapest form of financing one can find as compared to car loans, credit cards loans etc. Why not make use of the bank's money and willingness to lend to build your assets?
3. A House Serves As a Hedge against Inflation
Housing values will appreciate in the long term. In fact, houses typically double in price every 10 years or less. The reason for the continuous appreciation is that houses are well-known as an excellent hedge against inflation. As the supply of land gets reduced due to continuous development and demand for houses increase due to rising population, houses will increase in value. This is particularly true for bustling cities such as New York City, London and Tokyo etc. Another reason is rising labour costs and raw material costs, which will also push property prices up as the replacement value for the house becomes higher. This is however only applicable to the long term as in the short term; housing prices can fluctuate greatly due to many reasons like economic uncertainty, oversupply of houses, consumer confidence etc. Unlike investments in stocks and businesses, a property cannot become zero in value. Properties are physical assets which sit on land and land cannot be manufactured. Stocks and businesses however, can become bankrupt and the real risk of losing everything is there. While there may be short term fluctuations in value, the long term potential of property is always upwards as described above.
4. A House Forces You To Save
If you do not possess a home, you would have to rent from a landlord. Giving your hard earned money to the landlord every month as rental would just make the landlord richer and you poorer. Why not pay yourself first? You should instead buy a home and pay yourself rent for staying in the house. By paying instalment for a housing loan as compared to paying rental, you will be saving a lot of money. One, you will save money on the difference between the instalment and the rental; rental is usually higher than instalment. Two, you will save money on the principal portion of the instalment as that money goes towards reducing your loan instead. The only real costs for owning a home are the interest charges on your bank loan and the opportunity cost loss that the money could generated from other investments. However, you will be hard pressed to find another asset which can yield returns as high as real estate. As such the house serves as a store of your savings, forcing you to save a certain percentage of your income every month. The capital appreciation of the property and the decline of loan balance will increase your net asset values faster than you can imagine.
5. Rental for Passive Income
If you already own a house, should you purchase another? Assuming you have the savings and the sufficient excess income to pay the instalments for another house, you should definitely consider. You can then rent out the house and become a landlord! It just takes a bit of work to furnish the house, find a tenant and manage the tenant. It is Passive Income as you do not have to do much and the rental comes in every month. The tenants will now work for you as they are paying you rental to make you richer. If you took out a loan for 20 years and you manage to get a tenant to pay your instalment for you, the house becomes yours for free in 20 years! Furthermore, if you manage to secure a rental rate above your monthly instalment, you also get positive cash from your house. Now you know why landlords are so rich!
Drawbacks to Real Estate
If real estate investments are so rewarding, why not just keep buying real estate to boost your returns? However, take note that since Real Estate is a leveraged investment, the leverage can either amplify your returns or amplify your losses. Also, in the short term, real estate will go through fluctuations of over valuations and under valuations, buying at the wrong time could result in long term damage to your financial health. It is also wise to exercise prudent financial management and not overstretch yourself in commitments and over leverage.
By staying conservative, real estate investment will almost definitely make good returns for you!

Tried-and-true Rocket Math fact fluency worksheets
[A $49 value] Our Rocket Math Worksheet Program has students practice daily with a partner, take a One-Minute Test, and move up the Rocket Chart based on the ten-minutes per day pencil-and-paper activities. Teachers have been relying on this program and getting gratifying results for decades. This subscription will give you access to the Rocket Math filing cabinet and all of the hundreds of worksheets available to print from our virtual filing cabinet.
30 seats for the Online Game develops math fact fluency in a fast-paced format
[A $60 value] In 2018, Rocket Math added an Online Game for students to play on any device and learn math facts. This package will give access to up to 30 students in your classroom. The regular price for 30 students is $2 per student for the year.
In the Online Game, students login and practice and work through levels A to Z the same as in the Worksheet Program. If a student takes longer than 3 seconds to answer a fact, the program treats it as a hesitation and gives more practice on that fact. The program responds to hesitations by telling the student the problem and answer, asking them to enter the correct answer, then giving them the problem again a few seconds later.
Students can also login in at home and practice there. The Rocket Math Online Game is very intense, so learners can only work for five minutes at a time, and then the game makes them take a 30-minute break. Although the game is challenging (or maybe because it is hard), students are very motivated by seeing their progress. They can tell that they are learning and they feel good about their accomplishments.
You can monitor the development of math fact fluency in the game
The teacher can monitor progress (as you can see below). The teacher can see if students are logging on at home, see their level of difficulty, and change them to a different one of the ten learning tracks available. Easy to set up a program of recognition for students who practice at home.
Bonus: Wall Charts visually track development of math fact fluency
[An $18 value] As a bonus in this package Rocket Math will send you a Rocket Math Wall Chart. This chart comes with stickers for students to post each time they pass a level in Rocket Math. It has goal arrows, so the teacher can set goals for the class with rewards for filling up the chart to a certain point. This enables the students to work together to achieve goals and celebrate their success as a group. Also comes with directions on how to use it to best advantage.
This chart is a very motivating for students as they are developing math fact fluency and builds team spirit with your class.

Survey shows that high school teachers are impressed with St. Michael's co-op program
Toronto, December 2, 2014
By Michael Kidd
High school co-op students, (l to r) Jessica Cordeiro Isidoro, Michaela Finn, and Ruby Jane DeVera, take part in a tour of the hospital's Allan Family Waters Simulation Centre as part of their placement with St. Michael's. Teachers rated the modules, assignments and tours component of the hospital's co-op program a favourable 98 per cent on a recent satisfaction survey. (Photo by Yuri Markarov)
Volunteer Services recently completed a satisfaction survey of high school teachers who have sent their co-op students to St. Michael's. The results were overwhelmingly positive, with all of the scores well into in the 90th percentile, complemented by highly favourable comments. Teachers reported their overall satisfaction with the co-op program at 98 per cent.
"The co-op program offered by St. Michael's Hospital is the best hospital co-op experience a student can receive," said Christine Sabetti, a teacher from Runnymede Collegiate Institute. "The training, assignments, tours and other learning opportunities are outstanding."
Respondents gave the program's modules, assignments and tours a rating of 98 per cent. Other areas where the St. Michael's program scored highly included the orientation of new students (98 per cent), opportunities for career exploration or job shadowing (98 per cent), and providing assignments and feedback (97 per cent).
Co-op students are high school students who are placed at St. Michael's through Volunteer Services as part of an experiential learning program. Each year, 50 co-op students come to the hospital for a four-month assignment to earn high school credits. The co-op program helps students develop workplace skills, explore health care careers and better understand the science behind patient care.
Students spend the majority of their co-op time in their assigned hospital unit and they are overseen by a hospital staff member. "The staff are critical to the success of co-op," said Sandy Gobin, the co-op program co-ordinator. "They make sure our students have a great experience here."
Students follow a unique curriculum designed by St. Michael's and have an opportunity to practice a variety of workplace skills, such as interpersonal communications. As the semester goes on, they are given more and more duties.
How well does the St. Michael's co-op program meet your school's co-op objectives? 97 per cent.
In addition, students participate in a series of tours, job shadowing and educational lunch-and-learn sessions. "When my students come to me asking for a medical co-op, St. Mike's is my first choice," said Kathryn Stearns-Brown, a teacher from Oakville Trafalgar High School. "The extra modules are the best. No other hospital offers this."

Styles P Puffs and Passes in 'I Need Weed' Video
Although 4/20 was a few days ago, Styles P made sure to put his mark out there with the marijuana celebration video, 'I Need Weed.'
Directed by Scram Jones, the video was filmed in Amsterdam during the Cannibus Cup.
"OG kush and some girl scout / Cookies to turn my fuckin world up / Sour diesel, cat piss aids / So high I'm gone, I'll be back in days," P delivers.
Although the video is pretty straightforward and shows P and his crew smoking up, you'll be surprised to see a cameo by Ghostface Killah, who ends up holding a giant spliff, in parts of the visual. 4/20 may be over, but this video clearly shows that it can be celebrated every day.

Colours, Colours Everywhere
Tonight was particularly special because I was coming out to a private view for the first time as an "instagram follower". I dragged one of my coworkers along with the usual excuse of pretty things, drinks and chats with the possibility of drunken eats afterwards.
Obligatory artist blurb: Strongly influenced by the Abstract Expressionists and the romantic light of the Old Masters, Ian Rayer-Smith is a Manchester-based artist, whose oil and acrylic paintings effortlessly fuse the figurative and the surreal, suggesting a real sense of classical yet contemporary otherworldliness. Voted one of Manchester's Top 10 Artists by Manchester Confidential and Winner of the 2014 Warrington Contemporary Prize, Ian has been hailed as one of the North's artists to watch.
Coats off, programme and bubbly in hand- it was showtime and the critiquing began. The whole collection was aesthetically pleasing with an array of brush strokes and colour choices. It didn't take us long before we stopped critiquing the work and started critiquing the other viewers.
Did they know the artist? Were they instragram fans as well? Where did they come from and where were they going after?
Who is Ian Rayer Smith? Someone lovely, creative and open to talking about his artworks. I've been to many private views and its always interesting to hear the story behind the works and equally the story behind the artist. Stereotypically artists are illusive, unrelatable, eccentric and stuck up. Ian wasn't and it made it even worth the while to come out that evening to support someone that I follow on social media.
Undoubtably serving drinks at an exhibition lubricates the act of buying, but it also gets the conversations flowing. I would say about 60% of my conversations that night had to do with art if not the art on the walls. The remaining 40% were about life- our choices, regrets and desires. Even spoke about my recent trip to Milan and even my latest ex-boyfriend. It's funny whom you open up to at these kinds of events and how a mere conversation about the art on the walls can end up with you going home feeling inspired, insightful and tipsy. I haven't written about my private view adventures since last summer (due to laziness and arguably extreme busy-ness) but I felt I needed to document this experience. I also took some really pretty pictures.
After exchanging some business cards and follows, we called it an evening.
Oh yes, there were drunken eats afterwards.

Well, I blogged before about the case we filed challenging the law sponsored by the South Coast Air Quality Management and a second law supported by the District that threw out the ruling we obtained from the Superior Court that found that the District had violated the environmental law when it adopted some rules that would allow them to add a BUNCH of new pollution to the air and ensure the construction of more fossil fuel power plants in the south coast air basin.
Hey, why stop adding pollution to the air now, its already among the the most filthy in the country.
Anyway, the judge in the case we brought challenging the District's actions found that the law that the District wrote, and spend a bunch of resources lobbying for, didn't violate the Constitution. We also lost on our claim that, if the law was Constitutional, the District failed to follow the requirements of the law. I know, bummer.
So say "good bye" to the law that says that the District has to disclose the health and environmental impacts of their rule changes that add tons and tons of new pollution to the air; and say "hello" to a bunch of new pollution! The District has kicked into over-drive to get all the pollution permits out the door as fast as possible.
On August 17, we appealed the judge's ruling. We believe that the Appeals Court will agree that the law is on our side.
Too bad the District will have already allowed tons, and tons, and tons, of new air pollution to be released into the air.

: Baja's claim to fame is the freshness of the ingredients---you won't find cans, lard or preservatives, and they don't even have a freezer. Some items, including soft tacos, burritos, taquitos and tostadas, take a while to be served but are certainly worth the wait. The chicken quesadilla is a giant pie served with fresh salsa and sour cream. Choose your heat level from the salsas at the fresh salsa bar. If you can find an empty table, dine al fresco on the small patio. These sparkling white, self-service eateries are lunchtime hot spots with lines that stretch out the door. If you haven't arrived by 11:30 a.m., you'll probably be late getting back to the office.

Australian camp is a day hike to a wonderful location in Pokhara. It is named Australian camp because a well known charitable missionary from Australia has opened a school for the underpriveleg children.
The trek in the foothill of Annapurna Himal provides opportunity to visit villages and experience cultural life of simple folks living in hills. The elevation does not reach over 2000 meter therefore it is not a strenuous trek. Weather along the trek is quite warm except in December and January. Snow is not expected. The trail is very much used by local people and traders. Teashops dotted all along the trail make the walk interesting. The famous Machhapuchare peak (Matterhorn of Nepal) can always be seen from any point on this trek.
Day 01: Drive to Phedi, trek to Dhumpus, overnight at Lodge/tea house
Meet your guide at the airport or hotel in Pokhara and then drive to Dhumpus Phedi; the drive is about 1 hour- about 40km north west of Pokhara city. You drive through a large Tibetan camp at Hyanjha where local handicraft can be purchased and weaving of Tibetan carpet can be observed. The next village before Phedi is Suikhet. Depending upon weather, physical and logistical condition Suikhet provides alternative route to Dhumpus. The road to Phedi in the Yamdi Khola (river) valley is quite good.
From Phedi you start climbing up hill to Dhumpus (1770m). It takes about 2 hour easy walk up the stairs through the terraced rice field. It is a large Gurung village. There are several tea houses and lodge accommodations in this village.
Day 02: Australian Camp, o/n at Lodge/Tea house
From Dhumpus the trail climbs steadily and gradually to Pothana (1890m). The gradual uphill walk is about 2 hours. Lunch stop at at Pothana. Instead of taking the main trail to Ghandrung (1951m), one of the best-known villages in the foothill of Annapurna, situated above Modi Khola (river) you take the trail to Australian Camp (2232m); it is a well known name and has vantage point to see the Himalaya range all around. The trail from Pothana turns southwest to Khare (1524m) and Naundanda (1457m). In the beginning you make a gradual uphill ascend for about 45 minutes. After spending sometime at the vantagepoint you continue to descend the trail to Khara (1457m); it should take about one hour easy downhill walk. Overnight lodge Australian camp.
Day 03: Trek to Sarankot and descend to Pokhara
On the last day depending upon your flight schedule to Pokhara either you walk to Sarankot or descend to Phedi to take bus to Pokhara. The walk on the Kaski ridge from Naundanda to Sarankot (1592m) is pleasant. The walk is on the level ridge with open space all the way. The views of Annapurna and Machapuchare can be seen all along. Though the gravel road runs parallel to the trail yet it is nice to walk along the ridge. The day hike from Naundanda to Sarankot can take about 4 hour, Sarankot is a popular viewpoint for tourist and local to see the surrounding view and the Himalaya. Depending upon your time from Sarankot you can descend to Phewa lake and take boat to Pokhara. Transfer to airport Fly to Kathmandu or Hotel in Pokhara.
Private Arrangement Trek cost: 1 pax: US$320 per person 2 pax: US$280 per person 3-5 pax US$250 per person 6-9 pax US$230 per person 10-15pax US$210 per person Cost includes: 01: All meals and accommodation in lodge/tea house during the trek and sleeping bag 02: Service of trek guide. 03: Porters to carry personal baggage each 15 kg) 04: Accident insurance for staffs and porters 05: Annapurna Area Conservation Entry permit 06: Priavate transfers from Pokhara hotel to trek start point, trek end point to Pokhara hotel or airport Cost does not include: 01: Personal clothing 02: Airfare to and from Pokhara 03: Personal accident and health insurance 04: Emergency evacuation and oxygen cost, and medical-box 05: Alcoholic and bottled beverage, laundry, and tips. 06: Hotel accommodation, sightseeing and meals in Katmandu and Pokhara

The following is a guide for Section 8 applications. This is a general guide; some regulations will vary from state to state.
Determine if You are Qualified
Step 1
Calculate if your earnings qualify you for the Section 8 program. The Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has certain limits and restrictions. Generally, your income cannot exceed 80% of the median income range for your area. Applicants with a criminal record are usually considered with the exception of registered sex offenders and individuals who've ever been convicted of specific drug-related offenses, such as establishing or operating a methamphetamine lab.
However, some states may have other requirements. To be sure, get in touch with your local housing administrator. There are also regional offices that provide aid to centers to determine eligibility.
Step 2
With your housing counselor, fill out the Section 8 application form. The names, sex, ages and dates of birth of all the residents are required. Contact information and address must also be set down. The income for the previous year and the next year has to be included also.
Bank statements have to be included as well. The name and address of the banking institution are also needed. The name and address of your employer are also required. The name and address of your present landlord must also be stated.
Step 1
Review the data you put in the application form. Do not forget to have your local counselor make a photocopy of all the records and documents. Do not forget to file the bank and income statements with the application form.
Step 2
Call your counselor after a week to check the status of the application. Make sure you have all your personal and financial records ready. In some cases, additional documents may be required. It is very important for the application form to reflect your current income and employment status.
Important Laws on Section 8 Housing
A landlord can evict the tenant by going to court. This is the only way to get a valid HUD eviction. Among the legitimate reasons for eviction include nonpayment of rent and failure to follow the complex regulations. The family is also obligated to report any changes in their financial standing.
Landlords are also allowed to screen potential tenants. Any criteria may be used provided it is in accordance with the law. Landlords who take in Section 8 tenants will have to subject these complexes to regular inspections.
Do not hesitate to ask your local housing counselor for guidance as you fill up the Section 8 application form. As the rules vary from state to state, make sure to look up the laws in your state.

Shohreh Zahra Seyed-Makki, 54, was found dead in her home in the 9500 block of Newbridge Drive at around 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 6.
Police labeled the death a homicide — the eighth in Potomac since 1990 and the first since Marianne Oweiss was killed a mile away in 2001.
Police have no one in custody and have identified no current suspects in the murder. Seyed-Makki was apparently strangled and beaten in her kitchen, but few details about the crime are available while it is still under investigation.
On Oct. 9, police arrested Seyed-Makki's son Mark Makki, 23, and charged him with robbery and first-degree murder, but days before Makki's scheduled Nov. 4 preliminary hearing, the Office of the State's Attorney for Montgomery County dropped the charges, saying there was insufficient evidence for an indictment.
Seyed-Makki was a gentle woman who loved to entertain guests and to walk and jog in her neighborhood, friends said. She sometimes worked in the medical offices of her husband Khosrow "Mike" Makki, an ear, nose, and throat surgeon.
The Makki family is well known in the tight-knit Iranian community in Washington, but was otherwise fairly private, friends and neighbors said.
THREE YOUNG people are charged with first-degree murder and armed robbery following the July 17 killing of Bijan Nassirdaftari, 17, of Rockville in an apparent drug purchase gone awry.
Nassirdaftari was a 2005 Gonzaga High School graduate, and lived on Plantation Lane, near I-270 between Montrose Road and Tuckerman Lane.
According to police and District Court charging documents, Nassirdaftari and three friends met the three suspects — Michael Manaugh, 18, of Silver Spring, Ricardo Thomas, 20, of Washington, D.C., and Ardele Monkkonen, 18, of Washington, D.C. — on Rockville Pike with the intention of buying one pound of marijuana from Manaugh.
It was a set-up.
Manaugh had no intention of providing the drugs, according to police spokeswoman Lucille Baur and tried to rob Nassirdaftari, leading to a struggle. Nassirdaftari apparently broke free but was shot in the back of the head, according to police and court documents.
TIME MAGAZINE journalist Hugh Sidey, who lived on Stanmore Drive in Potomac Falls for close to 40 years, died of an apparent heart attack Nov. 21 while eating dinner in Paris. He was 78.
He is survived by his wife Anne Sidey, three daughters, a son and seven grandchildren.
In more than four decades at Time, Sidey covered 10 presidents, beginning with Dwight Eisenhower. He treated his subjects as people and not infallible leaders and he treated his contemporaries the same way.
"He wasn't the typical investigative reporter style, at least the type that you see in the movies," said Sidey's brother, Edwin Sidey, 80. "He had respect I think for all of those people that he covered, whether they were high and mighty or low, ordinary people. He appreciated the good qualities in people, and even in presidents."
Sidey grew up Greenfield, Iowa (population 2,129), where his family has run the Greenfield Adair County Free Press for five generations.
He served in the Army in World War II but was not deployed overseas and began submitting work to Time and Life while working as a reporter in Omaha, Neb., in the 1950s.
Life hired him in 1955. He began covering the presidency in 1957 and later moved to Time, where he was a White House correspondent, Washington bureau chief and contributing editor.
He wrote more than 1,000 articles and columns, most famously "The Presidency," which he started in Life in 1966.
GLORIA HALPERN, a certified public accountant and a professor of accounting at Montgomery College, died in a highway accident near Fort Lauderdale, Fla., on Feb. 11 at the age of 56.
"Her personification of dignity, integrity, excellence and hard work … made all of us better people, and the college a better place," said Nancy Weiner, one of Halpern's colleagues at Montgomery College.
"Gloria was a surrogate mother to all of our children," said Gail Robinson, a neighbor from the College Gardens neighborhood in Potomac. "This week, all of our children lost a mother, too."
Gloria Halpern is survived by husband Mel Halpern of Potomac; her daughter, Dr. Jennifer Moore of Brentwood, Tenn.; her son Jeff Halpern, a National Hockey League player and captain of the Washington Capitals; her parents Morton and Helen Klein of Coconut Creek, Fla.; and her sister Marilyn Smith.
"She was very proud that one [of her children] became a doctor, and the other became a professional athlete," Mel Halpern said.
Gloria and Mel Halpern grew close with their fellow hockey parents in the Washington area, at a time when local options for high-level club ice hockey were limited. Later, when Jeff Halpern attended Princeton University, the Princeton parents became quick friends, and they continued to meet regularly after their sons graduated.
"Thank you for giving me every opportunity in life," Gloria's daughter Jenny Moore said at the funeral. "I hope you can see right now … that the way you have lived your life … has not gone unnoticed."
Montgomery College established the Gloria Halpern Scholarship and Assistance Fund in her memory.
JUDITH SCIOLI, former editor of the Potomac Almanac and press secretary to County Executive Neal Potter (D) and then to Gov. Parris Glendening (D), died on Jan. 19 at Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia at the age of 59 after a two-and-a-half-year battle with breast cancer.
"She treated everyone with respect and dignity," said Judi Scioli's son Anthony Scioli, an attorney living in Lincoln, Neb. "She touched so many different lives, not just governors, but congressional staff, her secretaries and her coworkers and staff as well."
"I cannot tell you how special she was," said Mary Kimm, publisher of the Connection Newspapers, who was hired by Scioli as a reporter for The Potomac Almanac in 1989. "If you met her for five minutes, you would know you were in the presence of someone who was going to make a difference."
Scioli began her career as a reporter for the Potomac Almanac in 1980. By the early 1990s, she was vice president for editorial of Connection Newspapers, parent company of the Potomac Almanac.
Esther Gelman was a member of County Council in Scioli's early years with The Almanac. "I think she was as fair as she could be," Gelman said. "She wasn't looking for dirt. She was looking for her story, and she wanted her story straight. … I think she was a real professional, a class lady and a great reporter."
In 1992, Scioli made the transition from journalism to politics when she accepted the position as Montgomery County's Director of Public information. "The job was to get the facts out in an understandable manner," Potter said. "That's a very useful service, to get them out to the public. … I was very grateful to her for taking it on."
Scioli later served as press secretary for former University of Maryland chancellor Don Langenberg, before accepting a position as press secretary for Glendening (D) in 1995.
"She brought those same beliefs of quality carrying the day as she had back here in Potomac," said Del. Jean Cryor (R-15), who said she was in competition with Scioli for nearly two decades, first as a newspaper editor with the Potomac Gazette, then as a politician in a different political party. "As the press secretary, she was open and agreeable and kind and thoughtful, which is not necessarily what one expects in a press secretary."
Scioli worked for Glendening until 1998 when she accepted a position as director of communications for the Maryland Port Authority. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in July 2002, but kept working full-time through April 2003. Scioli was fired from her position in May 2003 along with other Democratic state government appointees removed by the administration of Gov. Robert Ehrlich (R).
Scioli spent many of her later months working on a novel based on her experience as an appointee in Maryland's state government.
"Even when she was dying, in her last few weeks, she was asking about other people," said her son Anthony Scioli.
THE BODY OF Dr. Scott Nathan LaBaer was found in the Potomac River near Pennyfield Lock three weeks after the 39-year-old disappeared March 28.
LaBaer was reported missing after he did not arrive for afternoon appointments that day. His abandoned car was found on River Road at Petit Way March 29.
LaBaer suffered from depression and the condition is considered a factor in the circumstances of his death, an apparent suicide.
Eugene Roesser, a volunteer firefighter, is also a friend and co-worker of LaBaer's wife, Michelle LaBaer.
Roesser said that LaBaer had been functioning and apparently happy for a long time but went for psychiatric help about a week before his disappearance.
As a doctor, he might have felt inadequate to help his patients when he needed help himself, Roesser said.
"There's a big stigma attached to the whole thing," Roesser said of depression. "I don't know what all the answers are but I do know that there's a big problem with depression."
LaBaer is survived by his wife Michelle LaBaer and his infant twins.
ALEXANDER Chaufornier, 18, died at home in Potomac on May 11, weeks before he was set to graduate from Winston Churchill High School. He died in his sleep, but the exact circumstances of the death have not been made public.
Friends and family described Alex as quiet, loyal and loving.
"He was just the definition of a life-long best friend for me," said Patrick Johnson, a senior at Walt Whitman High School. Johnson's mother and Nancy Chaufornier were friends while pregnant with their sons, and the boys were friends ever since being born just two months apart.
"I never had a fight with him. Never. I knew him for 17 years and I never, ever had a fight with him. Not even a little one," Johnson said.
Alex was an avid skateboarder and a talented photographer. He loved his car, and working with computers and other gadgets. When friends needed something fixed, they took it to Alex. He had planned to attend Montgomery College and then perhaps try to move into an engineering program at a four-year university.
Underneath his quiet façade, Alex had a goofy, mischievous sense of humor and often tried to cheer up friends when they were sick or upset, acquaintances said.
Alex is survived by his father Roger L. Chaufornier, his mother Nancy Chaufornier, his brothers Roger A. Chaufornier, 20, Nicholas, 14, and Lucas, 12, and his sister Eliza, 5.
Nearly 300 people attended his funeral May 17.
JULIE NAGEL, 19, died in a car accident while driving back to her North Potomac home for fall break in North Carolina on Oct. 8. A 2004 graduate of Thomas Wootton High School, Nagel was captain of the field hockey and lacrosse teams, and she played for the Division I field hockey team at Appalachian State (Boone, N.C.), where she was a sophomore.
"She was just larger than life and always had a smile on her face," said Lauren Diederich, Nagel's older sister. "She loved every second of her life."
"People were just drawn to her," said Shelly Pine, a longtime friend of the Nagels. "She was both a lot of fun and very dedicated."
One of Julie's friends recalled her signature greeting when she met somebody new — "Hi, I'm Julie Nagel, what's your name?" Another friend described her as somebody who would got to a 7-Eleven and come out with snacks, drinks and a new friend in the cashier.
"She had the personality where she knew everybody," said Steve Swift, who coached Julie on the Wootton field hockey team. "Teachers knew her, custodians knew her, security guards knew her."
Julie is survived by her parents Jim and Susan, her sisters Lauren and Kelly, and grandparents Fred and Annette Nagel and Joyce and Bill Jackson.
An overflow group of Julie's family, friends, teachers, coaches and classmates from Wootton and Appalachian attended her funeral at River Road Unitarian Church.
ROBERT LAVELL, a conservationist and resident of Potomac for nearly 50 years, died of congestive heart failure at the age of 83 on June 2. An economist by profession, Lavell was better known in the area for his passionate support of conservation causes.
Lavell is survived by his wife Mary Lavell. "It's been a wonderful life," she said. "He was enthusiastic about things, and he brought enthusiasm out of others."
Lavell was part of three landings in the South Pacific as a lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps during World War II. Born and raised in Cincinnati, he met Mary, a Texas native, in the Washington D.C. area during wartime. The couple moved to Potomac nearly 50 years ago, and built their own home on Logan Drive, where they still resided at the time of his death.
Lavell served as a board member with the Audubon Naturalist Society, the Potomac Conservancy and the West Montgomery County Citizens Association, and he was an interim president of the Audubon Society for one year. Fellow members remembered him as a quietly effective leader.
"He was the perfect spokesman. … There wasn't any question of him compromising," said Ginny Barnes, now president of West Montgomery.
"He was very good at talking to people in [a way] that made kids comfortable and adults comfortable," said Diana Conway, a member of West Montgomery. Conway's three children enjoyed going to Lavell's pond and hearing him talk about the creatures that inhabited it.
"He never talked too much [but] he knew just what the issue was. I loved that about him," Barnes said.

It's time for the latest installment of our weekly scorecard rating how next year's potential mayoral candidates performed in the past seven days. This week was relatively busy, with a number of new initiatives rolled out and an increasing amount of posturing to frame the 2013 election. Overall, it seemed like quite the week to pressure the mayoral frontrunner, Council Speaker Christine Quinn–even Girls star Lena Dunham joined the push for Ms. Quinn to allow a vote on the paid sick day legislation she has kept shelved so far!
Without further ado, here're our highlights:
|Bill de Blasio went straight into the belly of the beast declaring, "Let them eat caviar" to a room full of rich people, pushing a progressive tax plan in order to fund early education programs. In a complete coincidence, early education is a chief initiative of Ms. Quinn's.
|Scott Stringer won a little progressive respect by fully singing with the growing chorus calling on Ms. Quinn to pass that paid sick days bill thing. Extra points were awarded, as Politicker is wont to do, for scoring an adorable tweet in conjunction with his event.
|John Liu outlined his own education initiative, arguing for an increase in the number of guidance counselors, which earned him props from public education advocates. He should have taken a shot at Ms. Quinn though, as that was clearly the cool thing to do this week.
|Tom Allon figured out the winning formula for media coverage by attacking GOP'er, and fellow longshot candidate, George McDonald. We're not exactly sure what happened, but it devolved into a hat-eating contest, which we would actually watch…if it were close by. Still a win.
|Christine Quinn found another way to separate her brand from Mayor Bloomberg, and she's still the front-runner. But on the other hand, heavy is the head that wears the crown, and her rivals won't stop jostling to see who can bring her down the furthest. C'mon people!
|Billy Thompson outlined a new job-creation plan, which would have been all fine and dandy, but he lost his appeal to void nearly $600,000 in illegal postering fines. He has 120 days to appeal again. Do voters head to the polls in over 120 days? They do, you say? Damn.

Fluoride is the most effective agent available to help prevent tooth decay. It is a mineral that is naturally present in varying amounts in almost all foods and water supplies. The benefits of fluoride have been well known for over 50 years and are supported by many health and professional organizations.
Topical fluoride strengthens the teeth once they have erupted by seeping into the outer surface of the tooth enamel, making the teeth more resistant to decay. We gain topical fluoride by using fluoride containing dental products such as toothpaste, mouth rinses, and gels. Dentists and dental hygienists generally recommend that children have a professional application of fluoride twice a year during dental check-ups.
Systemic fluoride strengthens the teeth that have erupted as well as those that are developing under the gums. We gain systemic fluoride from most foods and our community water supplies. It is also available as a supplement in drop or gel form and can be prescribed by your dentist or physician. Generally, fluoride drops are recommended for infants, and tablets are best suited for children up through the teen years. It is very important to monitor the amounts of fluoride a child ingests. If too much fluoride is consumed while the teeth are developing, a condition called fluorosis (white spots on the teeth) may result.
Although most people receive fluoride from food and water, sometimes it is not enough to help prevent decay. Your dentist or dental hygienist may recommend the use of home and/or professional fluoride treatments for the following reasons:
Remember, fluoride alone will not prevent tooth decay! It is important to brush at least twice a day, floss regularly, eat balanced meals, reduce sugary snacks, and visit your dentist on a regular basis.
The Dentist and receptionist and everybody are friendly. I go to that place again. The place look great and very close to where I live.
The best dentist office I've been to. The office staff are kind and professional. The doctor and the hygienists are honest and professional. They won't try to sell you up on unnecessary procedures and they take their time explaining things and answering questions. My hygienist spent a lot of time on me because I hadn't been to a good dentist in a while. She was super sweet and patient. It feels weird to say that I actually had a very pleasant time at the dentist! I am definitely staying with this dentist and I am sending my husband to them too.

Beautiful boy. Congrats momma!ReplyDelete
He is just adorable, Audra! He really looks like he's trying to talk to the tiger -- so cute. I started following your blog because of the crochet tutorials and got all caught up in the birth of Peyton. What was really funny is that the other day at the gym, where I always watch HGTV, the episode of your home purchase was playing. When I heard the name Audra, my ears perked up, and then I saw your cute face. I was literally jumping up and down on the treadmill, trying to hand-signal to my hubby (also watching HGTV) that I knew this person! He actually thought I had lost my mind (again), but I didn't care. I just thought it was super-cool. We both thought you made the right choice, by-the-way!ReplyDelete
Such a cutie. I love thisReplyDelete

Tehran and Washington will be inclined to talk about and possibly cooperate with regard to their common interests.
The marathon nuclear talks between Iran and the United States have finally born fruit, the two sides having reached a nuclear agreement on July 14, 2015. This development is considered a major turning point in the history of Iran's relations with the United States since the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Therefore, Iranian leaders have described it as a point of departure that will lead to a thaw in bilateral relations between the two countries. Before the agreement, US Secretary of State John Kerry paid a visit to the office of Iran's representative in the United Nations in New York, which is symbolically considered as part of the Iranian territory, to show that a new political will exists in the United States for the reduction of tensions with Iran.
The two sides also sent positive signals to each other about changing the buildings of their interests sections. While remaining cautious about making optimistic remarks on the nuclear deal, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said, "Of course, negotiations on the nuclear issue are just an experience. If the opposite side gives up its erratic behavior, this experience can be generalized to other issues." In March, President Hassan Rouhani emphasized that the nuclear talks are just a first step toward constructive interaction with the world. He added, "We want to improve our relations with countries with whom we have cold relations now, and even with countries that we possibly have tensions with, we are seeking to end tension and animosity because we believe that this cooperation is to everybody's benefit."
Therefore, it seems that following the conclusion of the nuclear deal, we must expect important developments in Iran's relations with the United States. In an interview with The Guardian newspaper, Hashemi Rafsanjani, head of Iran's Expediency Council, described this development as shattering the taboo of direct talks with the United States. He even went as far as noting that the reopening of the US embassy in Tehran was possible, adding that such a change would create a positive attitude toward the United States among Iranians.
However, between simplistic optimism and negative pessimism toward the future outlook of Iran-US relations, it would be better to choose a middle way.
In reality, Iran and the United States have overcome the most important reason for tensions in their relations by clinching the nuclear agreement. The two countries have different viewpoints on other issues such as human rights, the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, the fate of the Lebanese Hezbollah movement, and regional conflicts in Syria and Yemen, and their differences are severe. However, they have common interests in the restoration of security to Iraq and Afghanistan, and also in fighting extremism, establishing security in the Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden—by fighting against pirates—and also in scientific and academic fields. In the world of politics, rivalry and differences are normal. The experience of the nuclear agreement may have caused the two countries to reach the conclusion that sitting at the negotiating table and engaging in serious negotiations is better than exchanging messages or posing threats through intermediaries.
On the other hand, past doubts are still overshadowing the minds of both countries' decision-makers. Steven L. Spiegel and Louis Cantori, two prominent researchers of international relations, believe that the background of relations between two counties in terms of the intensity of hostility will certainly affect the current and future situation of their ties. Therefore, nobody can expect an immediate opening in relations between Iran and the United States in view of the tumultuous history of their political relations. At any rate, relations with the United States have not been worse than Germany's relations with Britain and France in the height of the World War II. Also, it is noteworthy that the hostility and animosity that once existed between the United States and Cuba or Vietnam is now gone. Certainly, the background of relations can simply slow down the pace of improvement, not totally obstruct it. If relations between countries are considered as consisting of six phases, namely: 1) Strategic, 2) Good, 3) Normal, 4) Thermidor, 5) Armed peace, and 6) War; it seems that following the nuclear deal, relations between Iran and the United States will get promoted from the state of armed peace to thermidor, or the situation that Trita Parsi has described as truce.
At least the shadow of war and threat has left Iran and the region in the light of Tehran-Washington relations, and the two sides will not continue demonizing each other anymore. Although this agreement may mark the beginning of bilateral cooperation in various fields, it should not be expected to take the two countries' relations to a normal state or lead to cooperation and agreement in other fields in the short run. Just like what happened after the French Revolution, the relations between Iran and the United States will be promoted to a state of thermidor, which means the end of hostility between Tehran and Washington. In this state, warmongers will have no further say, though in a state of thermidor, relations between the two countries would not be necessarily normal.
In this state, there are still many obstacles (especially domestic) to normalization of relations between Iran and the United States in order to prevent bilateral relations from getting promoted from a state of thermidor to a normal situation in the near future. In addition, trade plays an important role in reducing hostilities among countries. However, US sanctions that were implemented before the controversy over Iran's nuclear program erupted will not be removed. Hence, the businesspeople and ordinary people in the two countries will be deprived of trade exchanges, and this will cause many limitations for official diplomacy between Tehran and Washington. A poll conducted by the University of Maryland showed that more than 60 percent of the American people support a nuclear agreement and normalization of relations between Iran and the United States. Tehran and Washington will be inclined to talk about and possibly cooperate with regard to their common interests. Of course, this does not mean that the two sides are very eager for this cooperation, but political exigencies might force them to engage in this cooperation.

Free Demo Version of Analysis Software SmartCalc.CTM Available
The software SmartCalc.CTM, developed by Fraunhofer ISE to efficiently optimize photovoltaic modules, is now available as a free demo version. The software analyzes the cell-to-module losses (CTM) based on the material parameters and measurement data.
The trial version, in which the cell-to-module losses for modules with crystalline silicon solar cells are determined, enables the software to be evaluated. Materials, module components and parameters are graphically displayed on a user-friendly interface so that the resulting losses in the module output can be easily analyzed. With the software, not only the optimization of the entire PV module but also the individual components (e.g. cell connectors) or design parameters (e.g. cell interval) can be carried out.
SmartCalc.CTM was not only designed as a tool for research purposes, but also is meant for applications in industry. Due to the user-friendly interface and the focus on practice-relevant parameters, the software can aid manufacturers in optimizing their module and materials. The free demo version of SmartCalc.CTM can be downloaded from our website.

What are Deep Fryers?
By definition, a deep fryer is a piece of kitchen equipment used for deep frying different types of food. Deep frying involves dipping food into hot oil, and since hot oil can be intrinsically harmful to any cook, these appliances are the most suitable and recommended kitchen appliances. They maintain your safety while using hot oil, as they will seal all the oil inside them and avoid the risk of getting the smallest drop of water in the oil, which can be disastrous because of the rapid reaction that water and hot oil has.
They are usually made of a big tank, where the liquid or fatty oil is poured into. A basket is usually attached, and it can be safely submerged into the tank with hot oil after the oil has reached the desirable temperature. Vegetable or corn oils are the most preferred oil choices when it comes to deep fryers, and even olive oil can be used, although it is quite costly to use due to the large amount of the oil needed to do the job. Depending on the amount of cash you are willing to spend, you can choose the most suitable one for you.
There exist two basic types of these kitchen appliances: commercial and home models. Home models are used in homes to prepare fried foods like fries, while commercial models are commonly used I fast food restaurants to prepare foods like French Fries among others. The main advantage of using these kitchen appliances to prepare foods is that the oil can be reused several times, every so often as many as 10 or 15 times without the need to waste oil after cooking. With these appliances, you will not have to buy new cooking oil whenever you fry foods.

Deep Fryer Specifications
There are many features and specifications available in many deep fryers. It is thus recommended to understand how they work so that you can be able to handle them efficiently. These specifications are:
Stainless Steel Body
Because stainless steel is known to be durable and long lasting, it is used in making their making to make them strong. In addition to adding up their life, it makes the stainless and this will ease the cleaning process as dirt will not accumulate on the surface easily.
Charcoal Air Filter
This is a very important specification as it is present to filter frying odors. Foods like French Fries and chicken will leave your kitchen with a disturbing odor, and this feature will help avert this as the odor will be kept at bay. Others will not have this feature, and a regular filter can do the job just fine.
Removable Frying Pot
This is the area where the food is placed. The best deep frying kitchen appliance should have this vital feature, as without it no frying can be made possible. The frying pot should be easy to remove and put back in place. This is to cater and provide quick and easy cleaning and maintenance.
3-cup or More Capacity
The size of the appliance is not the most crucial factor to look out for, but instead the size of the basket is the most important piece to look out for. For those who prepare little amounts of food, say for two or three, a 3-cup oil capacity basket size will be enough and most suitable. On the other hand, those who prepare relatively large amounts of food should go for an 8-cup capacity, as it will serve them better and offer them better servings. It is very important to understand what you will be using the deep fryer for before making the purchase, as this will ensure that you get the maximum satisfaction from the kitchen appliance.
Electronic Temperature Controls and Display
High end models come with accurate thermostats that have the capability of regulating the temperature within 1 to 2 degrees, thus provide you with accurate temperature readings unlike the low end ones. The temperature control should be electronic, as this will save a lot of energy and they are computerized. These controllers have the capability of sensing the temperature level of the oil, and thereby regulating the temperature automatically without the need of having to control it yourself. The type of temperature display is equally important, digital and dial systems are available for you to choose from, but of course the digital display system is the easiest to work with.
1500 – 1800 Watts
Deep fryers are measured in watts, thus implying that the higher the wattage, the stronger it will be in terms of its heating features. Higher wattage like 1800 watts will also imply that it heats up the oil very fast, but the temperature will drop as fast too. It is recommended to select one that has the ability to heat up fast and retain the desired temperature as well, even after attaining it very quickly. Doing this will mean that the appliance is performing its total function to your maximum satisfaction, because it was made to serve you and only after you have been satisfied will it be considered a success due to their high performance level.
A Locking Cover with a Large Viewing Window
A locking cover is very important. This is because it is put in place to ensure your safety and safer frying. It is also used to prevent spattering of the hot oil and by using this, reduces the bad frying smell afterwards. The viewing window should be in place to help you monitor the deep frying process without the need of opening and closing the cover. These help to ensure convenience in the service provided.
Costs Between $50 and $300
These appliances vary in size and thus cost, from just over $50 to much higher than $300. Their costs are dependent on the kind of features they behold, and the more the features will imply more pricing.

Digital Timer
Your safety and security is of utmost importance, and as such any kitchen appliance, especially the electricity-powered ones should come with high quality safety mechanisms. The best deep fryer should have a Digital Timer, whose function is to stop frying once the preset time has elapsed. This will maintain and enhance your safety, and you can leave it frying and partake in another activity while your food deep fries.
Immersed Heating Element and Adjustable Thermostat
The heating element is used to allow the kitchen appliance to maintain the attained temperature or heat. Oil maintains heat and when the heat is over 375 degrees Fahrenheit, it starts burning food. Low temperatures are not a good feature, because the food absorbs the oil into it and thus oily high-fat meals that are unhealthy to the body. The best of these equipment should cook at between 325 and 375 degrees Fahrenheit temperatures to provide the most ideal cooking and healthy meals as well. The thermostat in the cooking appliance should be adjustable, because this will enable the user to select the best frying temperature for different types of food being prepared.
1-Year Warranty
Just like any other appliance, a good warranty should be available with these kitchen appliances, some of which are electrically powered. This will guarantee you longer life with the appliance, to get rid of the possibility of having to buy a new one after a very short time of use. A good warranty will also protect the heating elements as well as the appliance in general, which avoids the cases of having burnt food.

You will also be left at ease as your food cooks, since you will not be needed to rotate the basket on your own because the rotating basket will do it for you.
The best of the best should be easy to clean, hence easier to maintain. A removable inner pan or oil vat should be dishwasher safe and easy to remove and return. The used oil should be easy to pour out into an outside container without any spillages. It should also allow you to clean it in the dishwasher. This will ease your cleaning process as compared to washing it with your bare hands, which can be very tedious. One that has all these features is truly the best deep fryer to have around you.
