Barry Jean Ancelet & Sam Broussard, Broken Promised Land. What happens when a noted Cajun folklorist/poet joins with one of Louisiana's most esteemed musicians for an exploration of their down yonder roots? The story gets a little thick (maybe it's the humidity there?), so follow the bouncing ball. It's well worth it and goes something like this: Barry Jean Ancelet's alter ego Jean Arceneaux has a series of poems in a piece he calls "Suite de loup," and Ancelet/Arceneaux enlisted Broussard, best known as guitarist with Steve Riley & the Mamou Playboys, to do a full-on dive into putting that and more into a Cajun music extravaganza. The lyrics are based on a story about Creole musician Amede Ardoin, once a resident of the Louisiana State Mental Institution in Pineville because of a brain injury suffered during a brutal beating. So far so good, right? The magic comes in when the music and lyrics boil together in a rich gumbo that comes out so steamy and seductive it's impossible to resist. Too much of the amazing music being made in Louisiana never escapes much beyond the state lines, but this tale set to sound deserves to be heard everywhere. Who knows, maybe if the play Hamilton ever closes another mesmerizing tale like Broken Promised Land can take over the theater and bring down the house? Throw on some goofer dust and gris gris and anything is possible. An album to be missed only at extreme audience peril.
Cindy Lee Berryhill, The Adventurist. Here's a singer-songwriter who continually pushes ahead, writing songs that make a difference in people's lives, records albums that are surely moving for her devoted audience and never misses the mark for hitting her highest standards. Her last album, 2007's Beloved Stranger, was one of her best, and this time around she outdoes even that. It was recorded over the past five years and is dedicated to her late husband Paul Williams. The songs capture the heartbreak of losing a loved one and also the hope and faith that come from not falling victim to despair. This is music about the love Berryhill discovered with Williams, and how that has sustained her through very trying times. "Somebody's Angel," "Contemplating the Infinite (In a Kiss)," and "An Affair of the Heart" are songs that show how music offers salvation against the strongest challenges, and by creating it can actually be a life-saving force. There aren't many people who can use a dishwasher as accompaniment for a song like Cindy Lee Berryhill does, and that's the beauty of what can happen when the blinders come off and all of life adds to the dance of love. Hearing is believing.
Gary Clark Jr., Live/North America 2016. Real guitar heroes are in short supply, and they always have been. Maybe the '60s and '70s felt like they freely roamed the earth, and looking back quite a few answered the call. Without doubt Gary Clark Jr. is the most modern version of this endangered species, and the man delivers. Growing up in Austin he pretty much stayed in his room during high school and played guitar. All the time. He was obsessed with what he had to master, and like anyone who wants to take it all the way, he set out to learn everything he could. Once he started playing in public he had the fire in his eyes and was finding out how to translate it down through his heart to his hands. Mission accomplished, because as this new live album attests, Clark can play anything he wants. More importantly, he infuses it with such deep down feeling there is no doubt he's arrived at the place all the great players get to. His sound feels like it is a transmission from his soul to his strings with very little standing in the way. There is no barrier to what he plays, no sidetracking or showboating, and that expression is now fully explosive. Gary Clark Jr. is also a full-time student of all kinds of music, and without doubt he is looking beyond the blues. It's easy to get typecast when you walk in Clark's high-topped boots, but make no mistake: this is a Texan who will journey to distant musical lands and bring back his discoveries in a way that will thrill those who live for music. The dozen songs on this recently-recorded live album point the way to where he is going. Next stop: the promised land.
Kathy & the Kilowatts, Let's Do This Thing! Kathy Murray has a way of finding the most low-down grooves around, and then gluing them together in the kind of barroom blues which is fast disappearing in America. There was a time when every city had a dozen bands who could hit the monkey nerve without hardly trying. That's tightening up now, so groups like Kathy & the Kilowatts are all the more valuable. Murray's voice is full of hard-won edges, and while it will never be mistaken for Adele's, that's not a problem when she has a band like the Kilowatts to make sure the music stays at the dark end of the street. Guitarslinger Bill Jones is another rough rider who never pulls a punch when he's zeroing in lead lines to make the listener sweat. He knows how to put things in the alley and then keep them there. Fortunately there are no efforts to prettify what is being recorded here. Instead, Kathy Murray loves the blues in the eyes and then gives it a quick kick that ensures nothing will be spared in getting the party started. The woman one critic described as "the lovechild of Jimmy Reed and Wanda Jackson" has the perfecto band to bring this mess all the way home. It's most assuredly time to do this thing now.
Lauren Mitchell, Desire. Life falls apart. That's the way it's designed to do. Nothing lasts forever except the self-delusion needed to think it does. Ask Lauren Mitchell. The Florida-based soul singer had the kind of year to crush hearts. She lost her significant other and her band, and wasn't exactly positive which hurt the most. So the woman started over with producer Tony Braunagel and a blazing Southern California band and put things back together big-time. Fortunately one of the things Mitchell didn't lose last year was her voice, and the way it sounds on these new recordings is enough to cause thunder and lightning out of the sky. She collects some choice covers, co-writes a few sultry new songs, and then unleashes a band from above to knock out all the lights. It's amazing this kind of burning sound can be conjured up in a small studio on a quiet neighborhood street. Fortunately there's nothing illegal about it, and Lauren Mitchell is free to share her spirit with all within earshot who need some healing and hallelujahs. Say amen somebody.
Chuck Prophet, Bobby Fuller Died For Your Sins. This proud son of Whittier, California has been fueling his rock & roll fires for long enough to have them tuned to a fine-edged attack. Chuck Prophet first made his name in Green on Red, an '80s band that should have been much better known than they are. Once the group imploded, Prophet didn't waste time wondering what to do with his life. He started writing his own great songs, made albums that have lasted the test of time, and is now better than just about anyone else alive. He's got an astute eye for the absurd nature of modern life, but never gives up or gives in. He uses that absurdity in writing rock songs like "Jesus Was a Social Drinker" and "If I Was Connie Britton" that hit listeners between the eyes. Chuck Prophet can also turn around and write a romantic killer like "Open Up Your Heart" that likely makes Elton John cry king tears. This is a man who absolutely lives up to his last name, and never goes for the easy way out. Bobby Fuller lives.
Robert Randolph & the Family Band, Got Soul. It doesn't happen that often that a steel guitar-playing African-American captures the total attention of the rock crowd, but that's what Robert Randolph has done the past 15 years. He started on the jam band circuit and has been crossing over into other circles ever since. It's the way he can flat-out wail on his instrument that brings in the civilians to his shows. It's like his instrument is dusted in dynamite and when he lets loose, well, just be assured there is nothing quite like it. Randolph has been consistent in his power, but hasn't quite put the magic combination together to bust all the way through. Maybe that's because most people just don't know quite what to make of a steel guitar, thinking its home is in country music and maybe that's where it should stay. Not so. On his latest album, Randolph and band once again fire up the pyrotechnics and blast off into space. There are also enough moments of introspective soulfulness so it's not all whiplash music. He enlists Anthony Hamilton, Darius Rucker, and Cory Henry as guest vocalists on a song each, but really doesn't need them. Robert Randolph delivers the goods all by himself. That won't change.
Scott Ramminger, Do What Your Heart Says To. This blasting saxophone player usually sticks close to the East Coast with his the Crawstickers, and also hits Nashville regularly for sessions and live shows. For his new album, Ramminger takes a flyer and visits New Orleans and jumps in the middle of the action in the Crescent City. With a band that includes the Meters' George Porter Jr., guitarist Shane Theriot, pianist David Torkanowsky, and drummer Doug Belote, the sax man obviously knows who the kingpins are there. Scott Ramminger brings his own songs too, which makes a huge difference to make this set such a winner. "Living Too Fast," "It's Hard to Be Me," "Looking for Someone New to Disappoint," and "Walk a Little Straighter" sound like instant-classics, which could happen shortly. Between saxophone and vocals Ramminger has the action covered, but we can all can use a little help here and there, which is exactly what singers Tommy Malone, Bekka Bramlett, Francine Reed, the McCrary sisters, Janiva Magness, and Roddie Romero offer. What a first seems like an earnest jump into the Mississippi River down at the end of Canal Street turns into a roll call of greatness that would do Allen Toussaint proud. Wear it out.
Seela, Track You Down. Here come those Canadians again. How is it that a country north of America has such an unbeatable track record for singer-songwriters? And that they usually have to leave the North Country to get their music heard? Seela was born in Ontario to immigrants from India, and moved to Austin in the early 1990s. They'd already started calling the Texas city "the live music capital of the world," and that was enough for her. It didn't take long for the singer to find her way to open mic nights and meet a roomful of like-minded souls. What sets Seela apart is the way she infuses close-to-the-heart love songs with more lofty spiritual yearnings. But the music never becomes burdensome; instead it is filled with the inspiration that lives inside courage. What results is a unique feeling of the high and the low, something that rarely makes it all the way into songs like this. "Awake to Remember Me," "Love, Burn Me Down," and "Brave" find a way through to willing listener, and with backing from many of the best musicians in the Lone Star State, Seela has made music for the ages. All in a voice all her own.
Brenton Wood, The Very Best Of. What are the chances of having two of the hottest singles in the country come out the same year? That's exactly what San Pedro's Brenton Wood did in 1967 with "The Oogum Boogum Song" and "Gimme Little Sign." Which is the true beauty of soul music: beating the long odds. Wood had been a local Southern California singer making his way through the masses when "The Ooogum Boogum Song" first hit. Just the opening piano track was enough to cause listeners to smash the brakes and beg for mercy when it first blared out of their car radios a half-century ago. The music had an instantaneous electricity to it, like a finger being stuck into a light socket. Even the refrain, which to this day sounds like Wood is singing "check out the boots now check out the boots now," defied reality. To follow that up seemed an impossibility, but sure enough a few months later "Gimme Little Sign" did all that and more. This collection has both those nuggets, naturally, along with 14 other thrilling examples of Brenton Wood's seductive voice and no-fooling instrumental savvy. A singing, swinging treasure who continues checking out boots in national nightclubs regularly. Oogum the boogum now.

There's now a two year living requirement for the school, so freshman and sophomore year, you will have to be on campus. The rooms are pretty nice. You could decorate themselves. And this was special because a few years ago one of the kids painted a blackboard S Oh, yeah, There's a lot of different ways to have a social life on North West campus, and I've experienced a lot of them with the theater community. Specifically, there is a very sort of tight knit group, and people will have parties at their apartment very often, especially early in the quarter. There's these things called fund Ease, which our fundraisers for shows there's parties. And it's basically to get freshman toe freshman who don't know how to go to a party, will pay to go to these parties, and they're fun and you should go to them. And you should support shows so fun. These air, actually, like super important for the community here. But outside of that most I would say most of social life is Andi outside of fall quarter At most of social life, I would say it's creek life. And there's a lot of like Greek organizations who hold on. It's mainly events like mixture is where they interact with one sorority and fraternity. But a lot of people get a majority of their social interaction through three Clays I like. Also, though, if you do join clubs like, for instance, I mean a cappella group and we very frequently have parties s Oh, there's a lot of little There's like clubs, and there's organizations like P. Wilde and Sailing P. Wilde is a pre orientation program, and the sailing team are sort of. Both of those are mainly social groups on DH, so they hold big events if you're involved in either of those like those will give you a social life. But there's also a large majority people who, well, sort of. I know a lot of kids will, like pre game on campus, will let go to parties on campus for early in the night. And then we'll go on to Chicago and go to bars. And I don't know, I have to do that very often last year, and I haven't really done that this year, but it does seem really fun, and I kind of wish I had, Um, so that's sort of end. There's definitely like a lot of people like you can. If you're interested in smoking, we there's a lot of people this campus who do, and you can have that sort of more chill five instead of the heavy drinking like there is a lot of sort of people who are just kind of hanging out in their houses at night and smoking hangout, which is, I think, a nice, So I'm currently studying economics in psychology, trying to pursue the minor and pipe. I'd say the academic environment is pretty mixed for me just because I'm kind of trying to take a variety of different classes just to meet my distribution requirements. However, when it comes to my core classes in my major like E Con, I'd say they're they're pretty difficult. But they're also I really enjoyed them because they're challenging me, and I know that they're going to give me skills that will really help me in the future. So, for example, my heart is class that ever took so far has been he come three, ten one. Last spring kind of destroyed me, but at the same time, I feel like it challenged me like no other class. And ultimately I was able to get a good grade. Really, because I had to work so hard, some cool classes that have taking right now I'm actually taking archaeology, unearthing history, which is not a class that I expected to take me in an e con major. But I think what's so cool is that you get to take these classes purely because of the quarter system. On DH also have been taking some really cool classes Such asleep. So I really literally studied sleep for an Suction. So I'm a theater major and something that a lot of the majors on this campus say is that like our work really happens outside of the classroom. But honestly, it just like is we have a very light. Of course, load is cool. We're taking, really. They're really cool. Class is the actual in class time is really valuable. We have a lot of really talented professors who come from really like respected areas in Theatre like I'm taking right now. I'm taking dialects for Shakespeare class from Linda Gates, who like top Meryl Streep at Yale and like, is a very talented voice coach. So that's been super helpful. But, yeah, no, my, uh, my I have very little homework, which has been nice, but it's also it's interesting because as a theater major, as I said that you can take a lot of other classes. You're able to take classes in Weinberger McCormick. And so that's been an interesting thing for me to navigate as a theater major in that a majority of my classes or super low workload, and that everyone said, Well, I'll have to take a Weinberg class and Weinberg classes actually do have homework. Do you have really work that you have to do? And so I've been dealing with that personally. But that's just I have a pretty lousy work ethic, and I'm getting better about that. Hey, So this is where I started. Oh, it extends. Over there. If you go even further, you can see the like, uh, you can see the Chicago skyline, which is just awesome. Um, also goes further that way. Um, and usually I'll just come here when just to, like, study, read books or or or just chill. Usually a lot of people just come here and just relax. There's also like the running trail right here. Uh, and that's, you know, you'll find people just running, working out, um it's I mean, uh, awesome, awesome view. Action s O. The student body is great for when I've really liked a lot of the Northwestern students I've met. I really do think that like we have a lot of really intelligent students, and I think intelligent people have better conversations are waiting here. I like really, like, enjoy interacting with just like that. The whole campus is like on on another level is compared to my high school and stuff. I came from a high school in New Hampshire, so like and I think a lot of kids came from sort of not really diverse areas, so you'll hear a lot, But it's a pretty diverse campus, But honestly, it's like, pretty whitewashed. But like also there is opportunities for students of color. And there's a lot of really strong like I would say like organizations to give support groups and like places for students of different identities, different, different, like creates and from different locations. But I would say that like it's a very it's a very rich campus. It's very white campus, Um, but like I still like everyone is still very accepting. It's very liberal. Eso all of those. It's just it's an interesting dynamic honestly, because I think that everyone is like everyone is for diversity, and everyone is like and like believes in diversity, but also just like the way like the way our society works out when you have to. When you go to a private school that costs a lot. It like, really sort of prevents people from do that. And I think Northwestern is trying to change that. So yeah, that's what I would say about soon, buddy. There's a lot of like There's a lot of like, bigger social groups, especially if you are like as a freshman, like having the North Campus. North Campus is a really intense social life. Like there's the dorms on North Campus are also have structured as social dorms. There's a lot of like Elder and Bob are both have communities, and those people all go out together and sort of There's a very, like partying in, like social environment there. I, like, lived on South campus, and there's also kind of a little bit of a weaker but definitely South Campus sort of community that you sort of get to know which is the The theater gives the RTBF kids the middle students. There's a lot of like interaction there, so there's sort of that little bit of that divide. But honestly, you can really just form like they're whatever group there's. There's any group that you would want to find it on this campus, and you can like you could make it. You can make your friend report you wanted to be because there's so many students here that I've really found that's really easy. What till like only hang out with people that I wanna hang out with and really build a strong group of friends that I actually like you want to see. This's Lisa's Cafe. It's one of the on campus restaurants. A lot of upperclassmen drop off the meal plan because the dining hall food is an amazing. So there's a lot of places like this on campus when you combine food. Uh, this place stays open till three a. M. So really good for late night studying. Action. So I am absolutely in love with Northwestern campus. That was one of the that was also wide say, one of the biggest selling points of this school. It is so beautiful, having kind of grown up around the lake my entire life on Lake Michigan. It's been great that I'm actually kind of back on it. I think the fact that we're on the lake just makes the campus two hundred times better than any other college campus that I've been on the buildings such as the Kellogg Building. You have such a variety of like older buildings with University Hall versus the brand new Keller building that literally looks right over the lake and is literally one of the most stunning buildings you could possibly imagine. Evanston itself. I think it's just kind of hits. It's not a crazy college town like maybe an armory for University of Michigan. However, it's still really nice because even go downtown and you'll feel safe. And if you ever kind of want the big city feel, of course, you literally just a train right down to Chicago. So regardless of whether or not you really like Evanston, literally, probably goingto like Chicago. These are sort of. Healthy stuff out. Yeah, that's always a plus. Yes. So yeah, This is pretty much what all those president. Tiny fight. If you have a meal plan, you basically have access to all of us, right? Yes, pretty much.

Fourteen people were killed on Georgia roadways during Labor Day weekend this year, including a 52-year-old Cochran man who died after losing control of his motorcycle and hitting a guy wire in Bleckley County. The 14 traffic accident deaths took place during Georgia State Patrol’s holiday period, which ran from 6 pm Friday until midnight Monday, and the number of fatalities during the holiday weekend represents one more than the 13 people killed during the same 78-hour period last year. If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a car accident in Atlanta, Marietta or elsewhere in Georgia, contact our knowledgeable attorneys at Rechtman & Spevak for legal help. Our law firm is located in Atlanta, and our lawyers have years of experience protecting the rights of car accident victims throughout the state of Georgia.
Four of this year’s Labor Day weekend deaths took place in Metro Atlanta, while two occurred in Roswell, one in Cobb Country and another in DeKalb County. Fatalities were investigated by Georgia State Patrol posts in Blue Ridge, Cartersville, Athens, Manchester, Dublin, Madison, Tifton, Waycross and Albany. Overall, there were 443 accidents that injured 226 people during Labor Day weekend this year, reports the Georgia Department of Public Safety, although some believe efforts by the state patrol to increase visibility during busy holiday travel weekends have paid off. “We’ve had Labor Day weekend fatalities as high as 22,” said Georgia Department of Public Safety spokesperson Gordy Wright. In addition to the 443 Georgia motor vehicle accidents, state troopers also arrested more than 225 drivers on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol.
The alarming statistics regarding Labor Day accident deaths throughout Georgia shed light on the importance of paying attention behind the wheel, especially during busy travel holidays like Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. Far too often, avoidable collisions and fatalities on Georgia roadways result from driver inattention, distracted driving or drunk driving, particularly when there are more vehicles on the road than usual. According to national statistics, from 1998 to 2008, an average of 503 people were killed every year during Labor Day weekend, with 40% of the fatalities due to drunk drivers. If you have suffered car accident injuries in Georgia, and you believe another person to be at fault in the collision, consult our reputable lawyers at Rechtman & Spevak to discuss your legal options. With our skilled attorneys on your side, you can protect your legal rights and seek fair and timely reimbursement for your injuries, medical expenses, and pain and suffering.

Hacked Man - Self-improvement? Why!?
Is this a good idea at all?
There's one issue I suppose have to handle a bit: is a self-improvement project a good idea at all?
The first obvious argument against self-improvement projects is that the manuals, self-help books, are harmful bogus. An especially garish example is Rhonda Byrne's The Secret, which basically promises to show you how to cure yourself of farsightedness or cancer by the power of positivity, or something. The less obviously harmful side of self-help is that they tell you that you can be or achieve anything. When you obviously fail to become CEO of a megacorporation in a year, the fault is your own. You should just have been more positive.
Still, the size of the self-help market or bad self-help books are not rational reasons to forgo improving yourself or even using (good) self-help books for help.
Rather than feeling bad about yourself and always trying to improve, you could try just being happy. Feel amazing about everything that is happening, instead of always running after the next goal.
The latter argument is naturally quite powerful. Its weakness is that it's applicable to anything at all: self-improvement just among everything else. If you are not happy about where and what you are, there are no guarantees that you'll be happy anywhere else either. No matter what kind of abs you have or how many supermodels you date at the same time.
The question is: if you are an unhappy person and you want to become a happy person, is this not self-improvement also? General happiness of a person is probably somewhat given, but I think it has to be a skill also. Learning to accept yourself and being happy about the stuff you are.
This viewpoint naturally soils the "stop improving and instead magically start being happy" -idea. You would still need to learn, practice and change yourself from an unhappy, imperfect person into a better one. Still, would this be as down as the turtles go in this case?
Happily, I'm a happy person to begin with. I'm quite content about everything, but I'm also curious and like learning. Self-improvement seems like an infinitely interesting project. I won't probably have many traditional self-help goals during this project. I have as much friends, abs, work and girlfriends as I want.
Structured challenges on the other hand are always welcome. A self-improvement project will offer me a practically infinite amount of stuff to test and research and it will assuredly leave me knowing more about myself than ever before. In addition, I've already found a brilliant blogging platform, learned a bunch of Swedish, and vacuumed the apartment twice, so all sorts of good stuff seem to happen rather automatically at the side too.
There are my explanations. Are you convinced, what are yours?

As everyone knows, Seattle home prices have sky-rocketed and we don’t seen any sign of a slow down, due to the lack of inventory, and increase in financially strong buyers. For a growing family who dreams of a backyard, large living space, and the single family home experience, we suggest opening your search and looking outside of Seattle proper. We met the Salmon family through a Keller Williams agent in Brooklyn, New York (where they lived for 11 years). She looked to Alicia Shope to help them start their new life in the Pacific Northwest. Since Keller Williams has an amazing referral network, it was easy for them to start the process right away. We loved that they had narrowed in on Kent, a city near Seattle & Bellevue, but far enough away that they could find everything they were looking for in their dream home. 1 year later, we had the chance to check in, hear the news of baby number 5, capture some adorable photos, and interview them about their journey to homeownership on the West Coast.
1. Tell me about why decided to re-locate from the East Coast to the Pacific Northwest?
We lived in NYC for 11 years, most recently in a 900 square foot apartment in Brooklyn with 4 kids under the age of 9, we got serious about changing our situation. We had loved the things about NYC, but now looking for more space, easier access to the outdoors, and being (much) closer to family. I wanted to shift careers and Seattle and the surrounding area is quite a hotbed of opportunity. We look forward to biking, hiking, camping, and I’m excited to teach my kids to ski even if my wife isn’t.
2. How did you decide on Kent? Were you considering other neighborhoods?
We wanted the true suburban life style with a healthy sized backyard, not too far from Seattle, but still affordable. I had looked at a job at REI a year earlier and that had got us thinking about Kent. We had looked at a few different neighborhoods, and in this house found a quaint little street that is safe, close to schools, and friendly neighbors. We have been so happy with our decision.
3. How did you meet your real estate agent, Alicia?
When we sold our condo in Brooklyn we used Keller Williams and our broker in NYC referred us to Alicia. We communicated back and forth via email a few times and my wife eventually came to the PNW and sat down with her in July while I joined via FaceTime in NYC. She was so knowledgeable about the area and how to negotiate and we really feel we wouldn’t have this house without her!
4. What was your biggest fear about buying a home?
Probably that either the kids school would not be at the level we wanted or that once we were in, there would be some hidden issue that would come out of the woodwork and saddle us with a huge financial hit.
5. What is the biggest surprise about living the Pacific Northwest?
The traffic. Coming from New York City where the traffic is really bad we felt that things could not be worse, but it is pretty intense sometimes. We also were surprised how polite people are – especially driving. Sometimes people are too polite!
6. What was your criteria regarding your home search?
There were a number of things that we wanted and many things that we needed. We wanted a large, fenced backyard so the kids could play safely, my wife wanted the kitchen window to look out on the backyard. I wanted a two car garage, a dedicated office, and a basement. We wanted 2.5+ bathrooms and a large kitchen. We pretty much got everything we needed and most of what we wanted. Alicia was great in helping us determine what was reasonable for our “must haves” and “nice to haves” within out budget.
7. What room in the house does your family spend the most time in?
It would be the family room/kitchen. We try very hard to eat as a family and often the kids like to help cook and are working on cleaning up. These activities spill over into the family room. Where we play games, read stories and wrestle – its great to have some nice plush carpet to lay and wrestle on!
8. How do the kids like the new house?
They love it. The little girls share a room and the older two have their own. The ease of going in and out of the backyard and having space to run and play is fantastic. They are riding their bikes in the backyard and neighborhood and have space to do their homework. They have adjusted well and really enjoy the new home.
9. Have you guys found your favorite local “spot” in Kent? A park, restaurant, shopping center?
We have been super busy with work and painting the home, but there is a great park down 216th where we have been doing a little rock climbing (both with ropes and some bouldering). Also, we love the Soos Creek Trail, so close to our house where we go for runs, walks, or bike rides and when the sky is clear, the view of Mount Rainier is just gorgeous.
10. In three words, what does “HOME” mean to you?

lowercased:
as everyone knows, seattle home prices have sky-rocketed and we don’t seen any sign of a slow down, due to the lack of inventory, and increase in financially strong buyers. for a growing family who dreams of a backyard, large living space, and the single family home experience, we suggest opening your search and looking outside of seattle proper. we met the salmon family through a keller williams agent in brooklyn, new york (where they lived for 11 years). she looked to alicia shope to help them start their new life in the pacific northwest. since keller williams has an amazing referral network, it was easy for them to start the process right away. we loved that they had narrowed in on kent, a city near seattle & bellevue, but far enough away that they could find everything they were looking for in their dream home. 1 year later, we had the chance to check in, hear the news of baby number 5, capture some adorable photos, and interview them about their journey to homeownership on the west coast.
1. tell me about why decided to re-locate from the east coast to the pacific northwest?
we lived in nyc for 11 years, most recently in a 900 square foot apartment in brooklyn with 4 kids under the age of 9, we got serious about changing our situation. we had loved the things about nyc, but now looking for more space, easier access to the outdoors, and being (much) closer to family. i wanted to shift careers and seattle and the surrounding area is quite a hotbed of opportunity. we look forward to biking, hiking, camping, and i’m excited to teach my kids to ski even if my wife isn’t.
2. how did you decide on kent? were you considering other neighborhoods?
we wanted the true suburban life style with a healthy sized backyard, not too far from seattle, but still affordable. i had looked at a job at rei a year earlier and that had got us thinking about kent. we had looked at a few different neighborhoods, and in this house found a quaint little street that is safe, close to schools, and friendly neighbors. we have been so happy with our decision.
3. how did you meet your real estate agent, alicia?
when we sold our condo in brooklyn we used keller williams and our broker in nyc referred us to alicia. we communicated back and forth via email a few times and my wife eventually came to the pnw and sat down with her in july while i joined via facetime in nyc. she was so knowledgeable about the area and how to negotiate and we really feel we wouldn’t have this house without her!
4. what was your biggest fear about buying a home?
probably that either the kids school would not be at the level we wanted or that once we were in, there would be some hidden issue that would come out of the woodwork and saddle us with a huge financial hit.
5. what is the biggest surprise about living the pacific northwest?
the traffic. coming from new york city where the traffic is really bad we felt that things could not be worse, but it is pretty intense sometimes. we also were surprised how polite people are – especially driving. sometimes people are too polite!

Animal Foster Care - Inland Valley Humane Society and S.P.C.A.
Welcome to the Inland Valley Humane Society & S.P.C.A. Foster Care Program!
Our Foster Care Program allows our organization to give hundreds of animals a chance to find their forever home. Your help will save the lives of many animals that are either too young or too sick to be kenneled with the rest of the shelter population due to limitations of space and resources.
We will provide you with all the necessary supplies to be a foster parent. Fostering requires a flexible schedule and a personal commitment. Although fostering is a lot of work, it is a very rewarding experience. The more you foster the more lives you save!
Because many of our dogs and cats cannot be adopted when they first arrive at I.V.H.S., the only way we can save these animals is with the help of foster homes. Our young kittens and puppies need to stay in foster care until they are old enough to be spayed and neutered, at which time they are ready for adoption. Older pets who are ill or injured may need to stay in foster care until they are well enough for adoption.
Being a pet foster family has rewards beyond the essential value of helping a pet in need find a new home. For some, it is a chance to have an animal companion without a lifetime commitment. For others, it is the special challenge of helping an animal recover from an illness or injury, the trauma of losing a beloved owner or home, or to overcome a behavioral issue. Occasionally, it’s the joy of giving extra TLC to kittens and puppies too young to be adopted.
*I.V.H.S. will provide the supplies necessary for each foster.

The app offers an ad free experience and gets rid of the hated algorithmic timeline.
In April of 2016, Instagram announced that it would be changing how its timeline would work. Instead of of being presented in the order they were posted, the app would use an algorithm to determine which posts they thought would appeal most to the user. Since then, many users have been frustrated, calling for Instagram to change back to the reverse chronological feed.
In the past week, many of those users have posted invitations for their followers to find them on an app called Vero. The app, released in 2015, allows users to see their timeline chronologically, and has no plans to include advertising. In a few days, Vero shot to number one in the iOS app store.
Nicholas Deleon is a senior reporter with Consumer Reports. Nicholas said that for companies that depend on advertising, an algorithmic feed is almost inevitable. "These apps are not making money unless you're in the app scrolling through your feed and passing through ads. The grand theory behind these algorithmic timelines is that they're showing you content they think you'll like. And if you like what you see, you're more likely to stay inside and not switch away to check your email or listen to music or do something else on your phone."
Nicholas Deleon is a senior reporter at Consumer Reports. (Twitter)What allows Vero to keep the chronological feed is that they say they plan to make Vero a paid app. "If their business structure is not aligned in a way that they need to maximize the amount of time that you spend inside the app," Nicholas said," that may mean that they don't necessarily need to switch to an algorithmic timeline."
Vero is not the first social media company to challenge the big brands, like Facebook and Twitter. A few years ago, Ello tried to take on Facebook, before rebranding as a network for artists. The app Mastodon has presented itself as an alternative to Twitter since its release in 2016, but has so fair failed to get wide adoption.
Whether or not Vero has a chance to replace Instagram is hard to tell. "They've definitely gotten a lot of interest in the last couple days," Nicholas said. "They've added hundreds of thousands of users. So there's definitely interest in the short term, but whether or not that turns into long term success... it's social media. It's a fickle mistress, so we'll see."

Hi my name is Mark Roberts and I am a woodworker. I soon realised that the quality of modern machines was pretty poor.
After trying some wood turning on a cheap lathe I soon realised how rubbish modern machinery was. The first cast iron machine I bought was a little union jubilee lathe. You could tell the quality but I wanted bigger and better.
I found a long bed Wadkin RS. This was my first Wadkin machine and I was hooked. I restored it to the best of my ability at the time but then I found Jack Forsbergs RS online. His restorations are at a whole new level to what I thought was possible.
It was then I realised I had been infected by the disease that I later found out to be Wadkinitis.
This little site has been created with the help and inspiration from people like Funman, Camo, Matt Matt, Vann and of coarse Jack.

Gentrification is a common concern in urban California due to excessive home and rental prices. Although Bay Area urbanites of all sorts are ready to flee in droves, many are unaware of the deep toll housing costs and subsequent gentrification have already taken on the area’s minority populations.
In response to this growing urban housing crisis, San Francisco implemented the Neighborhood Resident Housing Preference (NRHP).
a half mile around the new residential development.
Qualified residents were to be entered into lotteries for one of the allocated units. San Francisco intended the preference program to benefit minority residents who otherwise might likely be expelled from the area due to excessive housing costs. Particularly, San Francisco has suffered a major loss of African-American residents, who used to make up 13.7% of the city population in 1970 — and currently account for only 5.7% of the population in today’s impossible housing market.
HUD’s rejection of the NRHP certainly isn’t the first obstacle minority residents in California face in the pursuit of housing, nor will it be the last. Minority homeowners in California took the hardest hits in the housing crisis. For example, one in ten minority homeowners lost their homes to foreclosure, whereas only one in 25 white homeowners lost their homes to foreclosure due to the crisis.
Additionally, minority homebuyers have been subjected to discriminatory lending practices and unlawful steering by unethical real estate agents and lenders urging buyers to overextend their income. Even lending practices which aren’t inherently discriminatory have disparate effects upon minorities. For example, minority homebuyers were twice as likely to obtain riskier nonconventional mortgage financing than white homebuyers as of 2014, according to a report on recent Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) data.
Thus, San Francisco’s altruistic intentions make sense. Low- and middle-income homeowners and renters throughout California’s largest metropolitan areas steadily diminish as stagnant wages and expensive commutes make the costs of living unmanageable. These residents, many of whom grew up in the Bay Area, need to relocate to maintain any semblance of a healthy debt-to-income ratio (DTI) necessary for future homeownership in less demanding locations.
Of course, the prominent result of diminishing minority populations and low- to middle-income populations is significant gentrification. Cities like San Francisco which celebrate diversity and vibrant cultural arts are unable to retain the variance which ultimately lures businesses and employees to the Bay Area — with the obvious exception of the tech elite. This high-income group bleeds into many traditionally diverse cities to the detriment of their original residents, like those facing an impeding exodus from East Palo Alto.
Real estate agents can’t fix the urban housing crisis, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t able to help. Agents need to hold themselves accountable to ensure their minority clients are given equal opportunity to obtain housing. To do so, agents ought to brush up on the Federal Fair Housing Act to ensure their practices are fair and accommodating to all homebuyers and renters in need of their services.
Need to refresh your knowledge of the Federal Fair Housing Act? Check out the Fair Housing chapter of Agency, Fair Housing, Trust Funds, Ethics and Risk Management, available through the first tuesday Realtipedia.
PreviousIs a buyer of raw land entitled to money losses when the seller commits waste to the property while the sale is pending?
Foreclosures: all downhill from here?
Another shining example of the federal government’s failed war on poverty. Generations of politicians and bureaucrats have spent the better part of 50 years, untold trillions of dollars, and most of their limited number of brain cells attempting to eradicate poverty and control housing prices. The result? Not shockingly, more poverty and skyrocketing housing prices. If we could only get these people to spend a couple of decades away from the office, we might get the economy back to some semblance of normal.
one of the reasons why minorities had a higher foreclosure rate was because the federal government pressured banks to make more loans to minorities.
If the federal government had instead pressured banks to loosen qualifying guidelines generally for everybody then the foreclosure rate gap between minorities and non minorities would have been a lot less.
another reason minorities had a higher foreclosure rate than non minorities is simply because of the overall income gap between the two groups.
But please, don’t blame the banks! The federal government caused those foreclosures to occur. They did so with good intentions, but nevertheless the fault lays with the feds, not with the people, not with the banks.
This article doesn’t challenge baseless claims of racial housing discrimination. These claims should be checked, and either verified, or looked at very skeptically. I’m getting tired of B.S. narratives being pushed by “journalists” in professional newsletters.
Baseless claims? A national study commissioned by HUD (there has been 3 since 1977) whereby thousands of tests consisting of one white and one minority tester showed high levels of discrimination.
Easy enough to google if one is skeptical.
I’am amazed at the political B.S. that has entered into the profession of real estate…..
