Owner Financing Tips for Buyers
February 16, 2018 by Marty Orefice | Financing, Real Estate
When you started out your lease-option, you were on track to qualify for a mortgage within two years. Your credit score was looking good, you had a job with a decent salary that you planned to maintain for the next few years, and your down payment savings account was looking good.
Unfortunately, things happen.
You might have gone to the doctor's office and paid the copay, but received a letter a month or two later that your insurance didn't cover as much as anticipated. However, maybe that letter got sorted into your junk mail or lost in the stacks on your desk, you didn't make the payment and it went to a collections agency. Your credit score is now not as good as you needed it to be to qualify for a mortgage.
Or maybe the Sports Authority you worked at for years went out of business leaving you unemployed for a few months while you searched for work with comparable pay. Those two years of stable work history are now out the window.
Now, your stuck in a spot where you could lose your option fee and any premium payments you made if you don't find financing by the end of your lease option.
However, there are options other than conventional or FHA loans. You could look for funding outside of the bank with the seller of the property.
If the seller of the property finances your purchase of the home, it is called seller financing or owner financing.
What is Owner Financing?
The two parties sign a promissory note, which is a signed contract that requires the borrower to pay back the lender by a specified date.
Owner financing is very similar to renting a property, in the way that the buyer pays the seller every month. However, the buyer owns the property in full. The buyer thus has to start making homeowners insurance and tax payments.
These are usually short-term loans with higher interest rates than conventional loans, but they give the buyer the opportunity to remedy what went wrong with their credit score while not losing out on the investment they've already put into the property.
The final payment on the loan is much larger than the rest, it's called a balloon payment. Typically, owner-financed loans only last 5 years. At the end of the five years, the buyer makes a large lump sum payment to pay off the remainder of the loan. Buyers secure financing for the balloon payment by getting a conventional loan.
Consider seller financing, like an extension period for getting a conventional mortgage.
It's often difficult to persuade a seller to agree to the terms of seller financing because it's a risky investment.
Tips for Buyers Considering Owner Financing
- Build trust with the seller. Show the seller everything you were ready to show to the traditional lender to prove your worthiness. Then, explain why you weren't able to qualify for a conventional mortgage and how you have already taken steps to correct the situation.
- Use your lease-option to your advantage. It might be easier if you've done a rent to own deal with the seller. Your lease-option allows you to build trust with the seller. They know that you make reliable and timely payments, so it might be easier for them to trust you to pay back the cost of the home.
- Explain the financial motivation to the seller. Sellers make a hefty interest rate on owner-financed homes. So, financially, there's plenty of incentive. Additionally, with balloon payments, seller make a full return on investment plus the interest within five years of loaning the money. Also, have the seller look into potential tax breaks for receiving the money for the home over time instead of in one lump sum.
- Take advantage of buyer's markets. If the real estate market is slow, the economy has taken a downturn and similar properties aren't selling quickly. Use that to convince the buyer that this could be their best chance at selling the property and making money off of it in the near future.
- If the seller does agree to sell you the home, make sure that you will own it free and clear after you close. Consult with a title company to ensure you make a financially safe purchase. Look into issues like, if the seller hasn't finished paying off their mortgage, how will they be able to transfer the deed to the home? Situations like these may eliminate owner-financing as a possibility for the seller.
Seller Financing is a Last Resort
Seller financing often isn't the best option because of factors like the final tip mentioned above. It should definitely be a buyer and seller's final option. However, in certain situations, it can be the best option available to both parties. When executed correctly, it can be a win-win.

I'm 29 years old and I've been told repeatedly that I have 2 major holes in my television knowledge. I haven't seen Lost or The Wire. I've had no opposition to watching either of them, but they're both going to take a huge chunk of time to get through. This weekend I finally bit the bullet and started Lost. I know that I won't have the same experience as everyone else when they watched it over a decade ago, but I'm going to try my best to make it through the whole thing without remembering any details I've heard and forgotten.
Here's what I know going into it: I don't know much about the details, but I know there's a hatch involved at some point, there are "others" but not quite sure what that means, and I also know the whole plane crash isn't what it seems. I know were supposed to do the whole "suspension of disbelief" thing but I can't help but feel there is no chance 47 people survive a plane falling to pieces in air.
I'm currently 6 episodes in. My thoughts:
- A fucking polar bear? OK that's a HUGE red flag. So they're either in a fantasy land or on some island where rich people pay to hunt rare and wild animals. Maybe they've been kidnapped and are all there to be hunted. Hmm.
- I could tell the Korean wife could speak English, but I have no idea where this is going. Obviously the Korean husband doesn't get killed off because I can see him with long hair in that picture above. Too bad because he seems like a dick.
- Jack is a pretty good leader for someone who doesn't want to be a leader. I'm so sorry everyone wants to listen to what you have to say and trusts you with their lives.
- John Lock is interesting. I can't get a read on him. He appears to be great and helpful but they're foreshadowing pretty fuckin heavily on his character being shady. And the plane crash suddenly makes him able to walk? Cool, but he hasn't walked in 4 years I think his leg muscles would be mush by now. I don't see him being the hiking type just yet. Another reason to believe this is all bullshit.
- Are we just going to pretend there isn't an 8 month pregnant chick hanging out on the beach? That's a legitimate freak-out situation. That baby is coming and they don't have a plan to deal with it.
- There is a lot of uncertainty in this show, but after 6 episodes I have one certainty:

Excerpt: Collide
Book Two: The Barker Triplets
He could smell her, and that male part of him, that caveman fucking Tarzan part of him erupted, and it took everything he had not to grab her hips and pull her down. He wanted to lick her into a frenzy. Watch her come. Watch her writhe beneath him and take him deep. He wanted all of that.
And yet, he wanted more.
"I thought," he began hoarsely but then her fingers were on his mouth and he was silenced.
I thought we weren't gonna do this.
"Don't think, Shane." Bobbi slid into the tub beside him. She grabbed the beer out of his hand and took a long, slow, drink.
He watched her throat move–slowly, seductively–as she drank. And of course his thoughts went south. They went way south and it sure as hell wasn't a bottle he envisioned those luscious lips wrapped around.
She set the bottle on the ledge and moved closer, the steam from the hot tub forming a cloud of mist around them but Shane inched away, suddenly unsure and even though his dick was as hard as a rock, he needed to–
Bobbi frowned. "You're thinking."
"No shit," he muttered, putting another few inches between them.
"I told you I didn't want you to think."

The Sea to Sky Gondola is currently CLOSED until February 14, 2020 but Basecamp is open!
Please read this page before accessing the backcountry. Be aware that this terrain is in the backcountry and is not patrolled by anyone from Sea to Sky Gondola.
The easy access to the upper Shannon Creek watershed, Goat Ridge, Mount Habrich, and Sky Pilot Mountain provides significant recreational value in both the summer and the winter for backcountry enthusiasts.
Sea to Sky Gondola does not do snow safety assessments and does not rate the avalanche hazard in the backcountry. All information shared on the website and social media sites is via Avalanche Canada.
Supported by local Search and Rescue Services, the Sea to Sky Gondola has adopted a policy in which skis and snowboards will not be loaded on the gondola on days in which Avalanche Canada, in their public avalanche advisory, deems the zone known as 'South Coast' to be rated as 'high' or 'extreme'. Visit http://www.avalanche.ca/map/forecasts/south-coast for all of the details.
Every backcountry user MUST be well prepared and travel with other experienced backcountry users. When entering the backcountry every member of your group should be wearing a transceiver (and know how to use it), carry an avalanche probe, and a shovel.
Squamish Search & Rescue advises that backcountry rescue is not always immediately possible, and is dictated by hazard assessment of current conditions.
YOU and ONLY you are responsible for yourself and your companions in this terrain. Proper equipment and knowledge is a given if you want to travel out here. You are responsible to read the Exclusion of Liability and Assumption of Risk, Jurisdiction waiver on the reverse of each ticket and posted throughout our operation.
A few tips to remember when entering the backcountry are:
- Never travel alone and advise friends and family of your destination and expected time of arrival back (make a Trip Plan online with AdventureSmart)
- Always be aware of the current conditions and the associated risks that go with them
- Always bring communications equipment eg. cell phone or radio or emergency locator or all three!
- Always have a first aid kit
- Be aware of the terrain and if your skill level matches it
- Pack clothing, equipment, water and food in case you have to stay overnight
- Be aware of dangerous wildlife in the area
- Be aware of current avalanche conditions (see http://www.avalanche.ca/forecasts/south-coast)
- Pack a shovel, transceiver and probe during the winter months if skiing or snowshoeing.
- Never travel in the backcountry on the day after a big storm. Allow the snowpack to settle for at least 24 hours.
- Don't assume a slope is safe because there are tracks going across it. Wind, sun, and temperature changes are constantly altering snowpack stability. What was safe yesterday (or this morning) could not be this afternoon. Further, when you cross a slope, you apply stress to the snowpack, which can cause it to slide.
- Never allow your judgment to be clouded by the desire to ride the steepest pitch or get the freshest snow. Staying alive is much more important!
- Never hesitate to voice concerns or fears. No one is going to criticize you for wanting to be safe in the backcountry.

Businesses and organisations tend to focus more on the rational and conscious elements. These are easier to identify and quantify. Our Customer Experience solution enables you to design an engaging customer experience by identifying and addressing both the rational and emotional elements at every customer touch-point through a blend of proven methodologies, insights and metrics.
A comprehensive customer experience strategy goes beyond the customer touch-points and also considers how you can best create an internal environment to deliver the desired experience sustainably. We work with our clients to align their internal organisation so they can best offer a workplace culture that is both enabling and conducive for their staff to deliver exceptional service.
Are you providing your customer an experience that is consistent with their expectations? What defines a great customer experience that will differentiate you from your competitors? How consistent are you and where can you improve? Will your customers recommend you and why would they do so?
Consistently delivering exceptional experience cannot be left to chance. Great customer experience is designed, intentional, consistent, differentiated and valuable. Unfortunately, customer experience is a complex practice. Rational and conscious elements (such as waiting time and best value) account for only half of the typical customer experience. The other half is attributed to the subconscious emotional elements. By mastering both, an organisation can evoke the customers' WOW moment.

Del Potro and Murray may have been involved in one of the few public arguments in modern tennis, when they bickered during the Rome Masters of 2008, and Del Potro made a derogatory reference to Murray's mother, Judy. But this one-off spat was unrepresentative, no matter how many times it has been brought up since. The two men actually get on well, and often practise together on the international circuit.
Asked if the Italian's dual role would make for an awkward situation next time they play a competitive match, Del Potro replied: "No, because I have known Ugo since I was 12 years old, and I know Andy from the same age – we played many, many times together.
"It's funny, because when we were juniors we would fight every day, and now we work together," added del Potro, the world No7, who beat Alexandr Dolgopolov yesterday to move into the third round of the Monte Carlo Masters. "Things have happened in the past, but we were young. Now we are professional, we are smart, and we have a good relationship."
A former journeyman professional who hails from Milan, Colombini has represented Del Potro – who has signed up to play the Aegon Championships at Queen's Club this summer – since he spotted the young Argentine's potential as a schoolboy prodigy.
Colombini went on to strike hefty sponsorship deals with Nike and Wilson, and showed such management acumen that Del Potro – unlike all the other grand slam winners of recent years – did not join one of the big international agencies such as IMG, Octagon and Lagadere Sports.
Earlier this year, Colombini received a direct approach from Murray. "I have known Andy almost as long as I have known Juan Martin," he said this week. "I was flattered to be asked by the world's No 2 player to represent him."
Murray is not dispensing with the services of XIX, the entertainment company run by Simon Fuller, but he felt that he needed more specific tennis expertise on his team.
Hence the recruitment of Colombini, who will be Murray's point of contact with the tournaments he appears in, organising details such as appearance fees. And also the arrival of doubles player Mahesh Bhupathi, who will work with XIX in the search for more sponsors.
Murray will play Edoard Roger-Vasselin, the world No81, in the last match on Monte Carlo's centre court on Wednesday evening. Before him are eight-time champion Rafael Nadal, and world No1 Novak Djokovic, who appears ready to play despite soreness in the ankle he sprained on Davis Cup duty last week.

The U.S. Treasury warned banks to watch out for the possibility that former Ukraine President Viktor Yanukovych might try to move stolen state assets after he bolted from Kiev over the weekend in the face of escalating opposition protests. Photo: AP

Friday Headlines
the weekly newsletter from EHS
Prep News
08 September 2017
Girls were keen to return to school this week to meet up with friends and to look forward to the term ahead full of new routines and challenges. In our first assembly, we welcomed those pupils and staff new to our EHS Prep community. We also thought about the part that everyone has to play in creating a happy and successful school.
The new team of Prep Prefects and House Captains was introduced and we look forward to working with them and all Year 6 girls who each hold a post of responsibility. Our congratulations to newly appointed Head Girl, Hannah Padley and Deputy Head Girl, Kiri Bayall.
Extra-curricular clubs will begin in the weeks ahead. One of these will include our gardening club for Year 6. This takes place at the Allotment which has been bursting with growth over the summer holiday. We were delighted that our plot was one of only five at the Edgbaston Guinea Gardens chosen to be presented to the judge in the Britain in Bloom competition in the category called 'It's Your Neighbourhood.' The parents' picnic taking place during their visit ensured there was a buzz of laughter and a scarecrow was created and placed in the pear tree to oversee proceedings.
We also took part in the Guinea Gardens Show which was held on August 20. We entered 15 classes and achieved 3 first, 3 second and 3 third places. Our longest runner bean was about 380 mm and achieved second place. We are also proud of Jiya Bhagat who created a charming garden in a seed tray wholly made from materials found in the allotment to take first place. We are looking forward to making further visits to the allotment to extend our curriculum studies.
There are many other activities to look forward to in the term ahead including school visits to a range of places of interest. Next week trials will take place for swim squad and for netball squad during the following week with training to begin soon afterwards. We also hope many parents will join us for the Information evenings next week with Westbourne parents invited on Wednesday and parents in Years 1 – 6 on Thursday evening.
We look forward to welcoming parents into school to join us for events featuring the children and to events organised by the EHSPA. We are sure our newest pupils from Nursery to Year 5 will settle quickly and enjoy the school journey ahead of them.

Margherita pizza cups
Now that I am the grand old age of 23, I feel I should be doing grown up things. Therefore, tomorrow I am having a dinner party. There will be no napkin rings, no candles, no tablecloth… but it will be fun, and I will cook.
I've decided to cook a few different 'main' dishes / sides so that people can help themselves to whichever bits they like, and skip the bits they don't like. So there won't be any canapés or appetisers, since I don't really want my friends to explode in my kitchen. Plus, I fear that serving canapés would make it feel more like a formal dinner party, and I don't quite feel that grown up yet.
However, I know a lot of grown ups read my blog (how childish do I feel right now), so here's a great little canapé recipe that you'll need to make a lot of, because believe me people will want to eat many, many, many of these.
You may have gathered that I love a caprese salad (hence the gooey caprese risotto recipe that I shared last week), and since I had some leftover ingredients I decided to knock up these adorable little pizza cups. Just create a cup shape with some spring roll wrappers or filo pastry, and fill them with some mozzarella, cherry tomatoes and fresh basil. They're even better when drizzled with a little balsamic vinegar.
Just beware of the crunchy corners of the pastry – they're sharp!
If you wanted to experiment, you could even try making these with different pizza toppings – try adding a black olive, some chopped red pepper or even a small chunk of pineapple. The combinations are endless.
Makes 8
Can of spray oil or 1tsp oil
3-4 sheets spring roll wrappers or filo pastry
60g mozzarella cheese, cut into 1cm cubes
4-8 cherry tomatoes
8 small basil leaves
Preheat the oven to 200°C (Gas Mark 6 / 400°F) and lightly grease 8 cups of a cupcake tray (spray oil is ideal for this).
Cut the pastry into 16 squares, each measuring 2-3 inches. Put two squares together, one at an angle so they form an 8-pointed star. Press this into a cup of the cupcake tray, and press down so it takes the shape of the cup. Repeat with the remaining squares of pastry.
In each pastry cup, add a cherry tomato (I halved mine, but you don't have to), a cube of mozzarella and a fresh basil leaf.

We have recently identified a pilot course team from BCU School of Property, Construction and Planning that will be reworking six inter-related FT and PT degree courses, with various professional body affiliations, in the course of the current year using T-SPARC systems, tech and methods. We we're pleased to learn today that additional Programme Directors from BIAD (Birmingham Institute of Art and Design) had put themselves forward as pilot programmes following a demonstration of techniques and systems yesterday. From a total of around 8 programmes that were represented at the review meeting for courses going through review and approval, we think that 6 have put themselves forward!
Additionally, we already know that other pilots have been firmed up in the Faculty of Health and Birmingham City Business School.

Our Humpback Whales mostly only feed in the summertime while living in the north Pacific. During this period, they regularly consume approximately 1 ton of small fish and plankton each day.
The way Humpback whales gather their food is spectacular. Often they will blow rings of bubbles around schools of capelin, mackerel, herring, and plankton in order to concentrate these small…

According to MTO,
French Montana was involved in a shoot out last night in Philadelphia. French, his entourage and his security were hanging outside their tour bus signing autographs for fans - when a suspicious car drove by.
The occupants of the car pulled out MACHINE GUNS and opened fire on French and THE FANS. French and his people managed to escape UNHARMED, but two FANS were shot. A 27 year old male was shot in the stomach - and he DIED. A second fan was hit in the shoulder and is in stable condition.
How did French and them SURVIVE THE HIT???? Well, we hear that a person who was ALLEGEDLY with French managed to ALLEGEDLY pull a choppa out of the tour bus - and he ALLEGEDLY let the hitman have a few.
According to the streets, one of the hitmen should be showing up in the hospital with CHOPPER WOUNDS pretty soon.
It's not clear if this ASSASSINATION attempt had anything to do with the attempt on Ross' life.
The violence is just too much lately...Dont you think so too?

Cape Fear River Trail
- Sherman Drive
- Fayetteville, NC 28311
- (910) 433-1547
The trail is a 10-foot wide paved path for walkers, joggers, bicyclists and others utilizing non-motorized transportation. It winds for nearly 5.3 miles, one-way, through a beautiful blend of trees, plants and wildlife with spectacular views of the river. The terrain can be flat or slightly hilly. In addition to the wooden bridges, including one covered bridge, there is a 700-foot boardwalk through the marsh and wetlands near Clark Park and 365 additional feet of boardwalk in the newest section that opened in December, 2014.
Along the trail are interpretive signs explaining the wildlife and plant life found in the area. There are more than 700 species of plants and trees, and 150 species of birds. The River Trail area is also home to an unusual combination and diversity of hardwood trees. Frogs, lizards and turtles are common sights, with an occasional deer.
A trail head named in honor of Moses Mathis was constructed at the start of Phase 2B, located at Clark Park. A ribbon cutting for the Moses Mathis "Bicycle Man" Trail Head was held on December 16, 2014.
The trail is designated as part of the East Coast Greenway. The Greenway is a series of urban trails and greenways that will eventually connect from Calais, Maine to Key West, Florida, similar to the Appalachian Trail.

Military Soft Body Armour – Protecting the Protectors
"Serving those who serve" means equipping military personnel with the original, battle-proven ballistic fibre: DuPont™ Kevlar® for military body armour.
For forty years, service personnel all over the world have depended on body armour and flak jackets made of DuPont™ Kevlar® fibre to help protect them from ballistic projectiles, explosive fragmentation and other combat hazards.
Since Kevlar® fibre is five times stronger than steel on an equal-weight basis, their military body armour offers superior protection, yet is lightweight and comfortable enough to help improve mobility and reduce fatigue in the field. And because Kevlar® fibre is inherently flame-resistant, it also helps to provide thermal protection from blasts and fire.
Kevlar® and Nomex® Changed Protection
Threads of DuPont™ Kevlar® and DuPont™ Nomex® help connect science, public safety, and consumers alike.
DuPont and Paul Boyé Technologies, Partners in Quality
To meet the requirements of the French Ministry of Defence, French manufacturer of uniforms, combat gear and PPE Paul Boyé Technologies chose the latest innovation developed by DuPont: Kevlar® Impact Control (IC) 600D.
Aegis Designs Vest for the Humanitarian Sector Using Kevlar® XP
Aegis, the body amour specialist, has designed a vest specifically to address the needs of the humanitarian sector. It incorporates the renowned fibre Kevlar® XP made by DuPont and provides tactical, overt protection.

Cats are favorite pets in as many as third of homes around the U.S. They are favorite pets worldwide because they are so cute and make great furry companions to kids and adults alike. They are so loveable and sweet creatures. If you are considering adopting one, here are many reasons you should.
- They're hilarious
If you've ever seen a kitten or a cat chasing its tail or jumping randomly, you know that they immediately make you smile and laugh. If you haven't, then watch funny cats videos and you'll be convinced they are most hilarious pets ever!
- They show you that anything can be a bed.
Cats are able to create a bed out of most unexpected objects and places — a box, a laundry basket, a keyboard, a shelf, a drawer and the list goes on!
- They keep you grounded
When you become so self-involved, you'll be reminded that you actually aren't that awesome with just one scornful look from your pet.
- They're great company
Cats aren't very demanding. They need a little to eat and a bit of sleep. They will not annoy you but only sit beside you and purr.
- They're loving
If you have a cat, you know how your heart melts when they want to play, sleep on your neck or try to jump as close to your face as possible! If you don't, you should get one — they are awesome little creatures.
- They bring you gifts
Occasionally you will get a gift from your cat, such as a big bug, or a partially chewed mouse.
- They don't mind if you give them silly names
Whatever name you choose for your cat, it will love you just the same, so be creative!
- They're cute, really cute
They are just furry little things walking around, playing with curtains and purring. Seriously, is there a cuter pet?
- Their purring is beneficial to humans
The sound of a cat purring is said to have healing effects on human health according to a research. It doesn't matter if this is a fact or not, every owner of a cat can say how much happier and less anxious they feel when their cat purrs.
- They have good bathroom habits
Cats are very intelligent. If you have one, you'll know they keep themselves clean. They always make a hole where they go to toilet and then cover it all with ground or sand.
- They make great alarm clocks
When you feel lazy and just want to sleep all through the morning, your cat is there to get you out of bed because it's wrong to sleep until noon — and they want breakfast!
12. They don't need much looking after
Cats are most independent pets you'll ever have. They function self-sufficiently and don't need much attention compared to other pets. You'll need to give them some food and play a little. If they ever need anything, you'll hear them mewing while gazing at you.
13. They keep unwanted rodents away
If you have a problem with rodents, your cat can help you out and scare them away.
14. They teach you a lot
Your cat is a wise creature. Just look at it lying in the sun, stretching and yawning — you'll get a whole new outlook on life and what's important!

Domino Game Strategy
Some domino amusements are basically just good fortune, including genuinely mechanical ongoing interaction, however there are likewise numerous where aptitude and judgment will in general have the effect among winning and losing a domino diversion. Obviously, the tiles you draw or are managed is simply down to luckiness, however how you play them can have any kind of effect in the diversion's result. A skilful domino player will win a greater number of recreations by and large than untalented players.
Square and Draw Domino Game Tips
- Here are some helpful hints for playing Block and Draw-type domino recreations. They are not top to bottom procedures but rather in the event that you pursue the tips recorded beneath you will have leeway over different players who aren't utilizing any genuine methodology whatsoever.

- Set down your heavier tiles early. Since you don't know without a doubt who will win a series of dominoes, it is a smart thought to play your heavier spotted tiles early so whoever wins a round or whether the round is blocked you won't be gotten with a high score of focuses for your adversary.
- Clutch an assortment of suits. Endeavor to keep the greatest number of various suits as you can in your grasp as long as you can. This will give you a scope of choices with regards to the tiles you can set down and keep you from being not able make a play at all and passing on your play.

- Continuously know about the board check. This is the aggregate of every single open end on the format. In diversions like Fives players score focuses when the board tally is a various of five.
- Assess the tiles in your grasp and how they can change the board check. Decide the distinction between suit esteems on either end of a tile so you rapidly know how they will change the board tally. For instance, 5 and 3 on each end will change the board tally by 2. Interfacing the lower end to the open closures of the format will raise the board check, while associating the higher suit will bring down the board tally.
- Utilize blocking procedures close to the finish of a point diversion, when the open doors for scoring focuses lessen.
- Control and control the board check. In a round of Fives, where you score focuses for board checks that are a numerous of five, take note of the tiles in your grasp that will change it by a various of five and play those when a rival has quite recently made a scoring play. Push the block tally when you can set down scoring tiles, and down when you can't. Knowing the suits your rival does and doesn't hold will empower you to change the board check as needs be, enabling you to keep adversaries from setting down scoring tiles.
- In amusements like Fives and Five-Up, where you score focuses when open closures of the design are a various of five, recollect you can play a tile to bring down the board check to a different of five, and not simply raise it.
Be cautioned that blocking methodologies can reverse discharge on you in recreations where players must draw additional tiles from the boneyard when they can't make a play. It could outfit your rivals with tiles that can neutralize you, and not expand your score toward the finish of a round/hand, on the off chance that you utilize blocking too soon in diversion play.

roasted cauliflower soup
This soup is creamy without having dairy because of the smooth quality of blended, roasted cauliflower. The leeks add a savory element while the roasted cauliflower adds complexity. Finishing the soup with walnut oil brings out the nuttiness of the dish. Roasted Cauliflower Soup Ingredients: 2 heads cauliflower, cleaned and chopped 4 leeks, cleaned and […]

vegan borscht
I love borscht! I love beets. I love carrots and celery. I love soup. Borscht was made for me! It is a healthy, filling soup that satisfies. The version I developed here is a kind of hybrid between a traditional borscht and a sweet-and-sour cabbage soup. I crave the tang of the vinegar and the […]

vegan greek salad
I have been making this salad since high school! It is a great summer salad to go with dinner or, if you had a protein, it can make a great entrée. I like to add baked tofu. There is nothing super remarkable about this combination of ingredients, except that the mint really makes this otherwise […]

spicy veggie chili
This is a baby batch of chili! I made a large pot to share with our friends who just gave birth and are on a meal train. We had leftovers. Then we got the call that a family member was in labor. We hopped in the car with leftovers in tow and fed the second […]

corn chowder
This recipe was inspired by both an article I recently read in Cook's Country magazine and the rainy spring weather we have been having in San Francisco. Much of the recipe has been altered, but I was intrigued by their use of puréed canned corn. The result in this recipe is a smooth, thick stew, […]

lentil soup
It's Sunday afternoon and there's a pot of simmering lentil soup on the stove. It's been a rainy weekend in San Francisco, and a dinner of healthy, hearty lentil soup to usher in a new week sounds just fine. This soup is of the "chop, chunk, toss, stir and simmer" variety; in other words: pretty […]

From summer to fall — quickly! The seasonal tide has turned in San Francisco, and there is nothing I like more than a pot of soup on a rainy Sunday evening in autumn.

Copper Services are an Endangered Species
Most businesses will by now be aware of the fibre roll out and hopefully, are now using UFB fibre Internet. However, what many do not realise, is that, as fibre rollout is completed in an area, traditional copper services which support stuff like phone lines and ADSL/VDSL Internet connections will eventually be decommissioned.
Read about the pending copper cut off here.
"…Chorus would have the option of withdrawing service and removing the copper network according to its own timeframes…"
What does this mean for you? Well, most importantly, if you are a small business and not using fibre connectivity already, it's time to make the change. Fibre connectivity is much faster and more stable than copper connections and will help facilitate better connectivity for cloud-based services such as Microsoft Office 365 and Layer3 solutions like Filecloud (NZ-based file sharing and management platform), Cloud Office remote desktop server and VoIP (Internet-based phone systems).
Secondly, with fibre in place, it would be a very good idea to review your phone system. Analogue phone lines are expensive compared to VoIP services and offer far fewer features and benefits. And with the possible pending removal of the copper network, they are an endangered species. Switching to a VoIP system will allow your business to get the most out of its fibre Internet, cut costs or at least implement a brand new, feature-rich system on a cost-neutral basis. VoIP will also open up possibilities for your business to aggregate services (like having 3 offices share a pool VoIP 'lines') and be connected to your phone system from anywhere.
If you have an alarm/security system connected over a phone line, you'll also need to contact your security provider to talk about getting you switched over to an fibre-based alarm option. This is usually a relatively easy and low cost migration. If you are being told otherwise, have a look around at new options.
Finally, think of fibre as a tether to the cloud. With fibre in place, you will have a fast, direct link to the world of cloud services. Microsoft Office 365 is a cloud-based option for your office applications (email, Word, Excel, etc). Xero is a very popular cloud-based accounting system. And services like Filecloud and Cloud Office will enable your team to access company data from anywhere. Migrating to the cloud will also fit into a prudent DR solution with your data safely backed up and accessible from anywhere.
If you would like any help reviewing your Internet services and looking at cloud options to improve your business efficiency, give us a buzz and our in-house business Internet and VoIP expert, Daniel Bohan, will be happy to have that discussion.

I ncome from sponsors has been the lifeblood the media business since the earliest newspapers. A penny a copy turned a tidy profit in the 1800s, but much greater riches were there to be mined once the news barons realized they could sell access to their huge masses of readers.
They promoted it as "salesmanship in print." We call it advertising.
It was a perfectly acceptable business model for at least a couple of centuries. Readers—and then radio and TV audiences—got cheap or free news and entertainment, and the marketing needs of an entire economy were served.
Then, paid search, social media, pay-per-click, and data mining came along and broke the model. Or, more accurately, beat the holy living crap out of it.
Advertising could now be tracked to an unprecedented level, pushing the limits of privacy beyond what even a Peeping Tom might consider too far. Before long, an unfortunate belief surfaced—that anything posted on the internet could "go viral," and this belief quickly became gospel.
These ruptures in the conventional media landscape hit print the hardest. There are now fewer newspapers and magazines, and the survivors—like survivors of any disaster—look thinner. But traditional broadcast has also fallen into this cultural and economic sinkhole. The rise of DVR use, with the convenience of zipping through commercials, and Video Streaming, with the commercials conveniently missing altogether, sent aftershocks through the halls of broadcast and cable TV networks.
As print survivors, we may be a bit thinner, but we prefer to think of our condition as "leaner." We could have slashed our content budgets when the number of ad pages we sold began to decline, but tf&g has not chosen that shortsighted strategy.
For example, we spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on postage each year to send subscriber copies through the mail. The US Postal Service provides a discount for subscription-based periodicals, if their advertising-to-editorial ratio stays below 70 percent. Without the discount, mailing each copy would cost more than our cover price. Despite this liberal allowance to pack nearly three quarters of each issue with ads and still receive the discount, we have rarely gone above 33 percent advertising.
Yes, our recent editions have had fewer pages. But, even as economic conditions for media companies like us have gotten leaner—and definitely meaner—you will still find artfully crafted writing from more than 15 monthly columnists, and you will also continue to find space devoted to six full length feature articles in every issue, plus a whole bag of regular sections and departments.
We have said all of that to say this: Thank God for those advertisers with the good sense to hang in and continue to use print, and especially texas fish & game to promote their brands. These companies have not only recognized the value of an engaged, passionate readership that is the prime market for their products, they have also supported our ongoing mission to bring you the best outdoors content possible.
Without sponsors providing support, our business would be radically different. Just to break even, we would have to charge more than $10 for a single copy of fish & game, and a one-year subscription would cost more than $100.
Please show these sponsors the appreciation due them. If you like what you read here, they are just as responsible for it as we are. Sure, you could skip over our ads quicker than on any DVR—that is the beauty of our centuries-old system.
But before you do, please remember how critical they are to this experience—as are most of the products they make for your use in enjoying it!

Asthma and eczema [news]
A strong link between asthma and eczema is now globally recognised. We look at the role food plays in these conditions and how avoiding certain foods, especially those with sulfites, may help. Scottish researchers discovered a genetic mutation in the skin of people who have eczema and asthma. The gene, called filaggrin, helps form the skin's outer protective layer.
