When whispers scream my house is for sale, who needs a listing broker? Or for that matter the MLS? Isn't that what Pocket Listings, Quiet Listings, and Whisper Listings have been demonstrating for the past six months in California and other markets where an estimated one in four listings is selling outside the MLS?
Contrary to it's name, those are some of the questions Redfin's newly launched Price Whisperer shouts. Is this simply a shrewd move by one innovator to preempt pocket listing; or is it another sign that proactive house hunting is going mainstream, the MLS is shrinking in it's importance as well as inventory, and the open ecosystem Zillow envisions will transform the real estate market before 2018?
Consumer Benefits: Intended & Unintended
As a consumer advocates, buyer agents, and fee-for-service real estate consultants, Real Estate Cafe's hope is that whispering about hidden homebuying opportunities will have four consumer benefits: (1) reveal the depth of the "intention inventory," (2) drive down bidding wars created by artificial scarcity, (3) create a marketplace of alternative, fee-for-service real estate business models, and (4) deliver the money-saving potential of IntentCasting to millions of homebuyers and sellers annually.
What are IntentCasting and Intention Inventory? We described IntentCasting as broadcasting intentions in a recent blog post, so let's focus on Intention Inventory. Redfin's innovation underlines that fact millions of homeowners are watching the market trying to decide when it's a good time to sell. We're not talking about Zillow's MakeMeMover, we're talking about homeowners who have not yet expressed their intention to sell or have tried previously and failed. For example, in one luxury suburb in Greater Boston, there are only 33 active MLS listings, but Real Estate Cafe's analysis of expired and canceled MLS listings reveals four times that number have yet to relist. (Yes, some may have sold for sale by owner, we'll complete that analysis later).
If Price Whisperer invites potential homebuyers to respond to target asking prices, what's to prevent DIY homebuyers from making a pre-MLS offer directly to the seller? Redfin blog post addresses that, but doesn't disclose which party are they are representing or whether they are simply facilitating the match for a modest fee:
"The Price-Whisperer email is a test and only a test. We won't use it as a secret solicitation to sell the home. No matter how many buyers respond to the email, the owner is still more likely to get top dollar by putting out a sign and offering the home to the entire market. We are also governed by our membership in local Multiple Listing Services, cooperatives for sharing listing data between brokerages, which require brokers to show all bona fide listings to all buyers."
Beyond their policy above on Pocket Listings, my guess is that offering finder services would undermine Redfin's revenue model. That's not true for nimble fee-for-service real estate consultants like the Real Estate Cafe. When we help buyers create their own homebuying opportunities with Proactive House Hunting, our fees start at just one percent, 0.5% for each side not the 5% commission model Redfin assumes.
Zillow says that "Home Stalking" is one of the leading trends this summer, so if DIY homebuyers and sellers find each other independently and just want help on an hourly fee, were set up to offer a menu of options there, too. Just like what happens when you consider buying a used car from an owner; asking a mechanic to evaluate the car on an hourly or fixed fee can help you make a more informed decision before agreeing to a final price.
But last I checked, Redfin did not work with FSBOs "for sale by owner" properties and has a minimum fee of $6,000. And instead of broadcasting a homeowner's intention to sell the whole market, Redfin narrowcasts it to up to 250 of THEIR buyer leads and tells them to get in line:
"Folks who respond get first in line to tour the home if you decide to sell."
Conflicts of interest
That raises questions about Redfin's agency relationships and obvious conflicts of interest. Are they trying to get the highest price for the seller, the lowest price for the buyer, or both sides of a commission? They can't do all three despite their home page assertion that "Redfin Agents are on your side."
This isn't the first time Redfin has had a conflict of interest or tried to host their own bidding wars in-house (at least in Boston) as we blogged in the past.
By restricting access to whisper listings to their own buyer leads is Redfin effectively requiring buyer and seller to consent to Designated Agency, a conflict of interest by any name?
That's not the only conflict of interest. If Redfin is "whispering" leads to hundreds of buyers and only one can purchase the property, how will the others respond if Redfin has signed a contract to act as their buyer agent?
Opening the Real Estate Ecosystem
Regardless of how Redfin answers these questions, there's no question it's just a matter of time before homeowners will be able to manage their own digital identity as well as their home using their personal cloud. If 30 million homeowners – or an amazing one in three — have already tweaked the description of their properties on Zillow, it's just a matter of time before they can issue an IntentCast that operates outside of Redfin's silo, Zillow or the MLS.

Yesterday (9th of March 2016), the Society for the Social History of Medicine (SSHM) initiated a discussion on Twitter, how #twitterstorians would imagine the future of #histmed – the History of Medicine. The discussion was interesting to follow and engage with, as especially Lisa Smith and Ryan Ross challenged the boundaries of disciplinary research methods. In this short essay, I would like to extend my arguments and contribute my opinion to this whole debate with the help of my findings regarding the relationship between trauma, memory and history.

A Western Bias in Modern History?
In the last couple of months, I had the pleasure to listen to a few highly interesting and engaging lectures and research seminars. Unsurprisingly, when considering my field of interest, most of them were located in the realm of medical and Cold War history. While attending these events, however, I was astonished how some established historians claimed for themselves to rewrite a topic's historiography of international relevance post-1945, without acknowledging Eastern Bloc, or even Soviet Union sources, developments and historical research.
In this post, I want to draw attention to this Western bias, which in my opinion hampers historical research and cultural understanding in many ways. Continue reading

Toxic Balloons
Saline Implants and the Negative Effects They Have On The Entire Family Unit
I am a forty four year old wife and mother of two young children. If it weren't for my supportive family and my faith in God, I don't think I could go on living.
I had saline breast implants four years ago. I was told they were "safe" since they were made of salt water. What they didn't tell me was that the shell was made up of silicone, which is toxic. I had always been active and fairly healthy except for a few minor allergies.
Since I have had these "toxic balloons" my life has spiraled out of control due to my failing health. I have lost my career as a dental assistant, which means loss of partial income the family depended on. (Click here to read my thoughts on dental health and breast implants.)
We have spent thousands of dollars on medical bills, but the WORSE part is I mentally and physically have a very difficult time caring for my two children and husband at times.
My six and nine year old constantly ask me why I sleep a lot, never smile much and why we don't do some of the things we use to. It even hurts to hug them at times, as the pain in my breast is so severe.I can't make love to my husband as we had before I started to develop "severe spinal and neck arthritis." The pain is often more than I can bare afterwards. I am doing everything as fast as I possibly can to get these "toxic balloons" out.
In the mean time I have every symptom you can imagine:
Intraductal Papilloma on right breast
Small area of ischemia on my anterior heart valve
"Severe" spinal and neck arthritis
Swollen glands or lymph nodes
Breast pain
Arm pain
Wrist pain
Numbness and tingling in finger tips
Chronic fatigue
Sleep disturbances
Memory problems
Weight gain (probably from all the pain meds they put you on)
Dry, itchy, stinging, bloodshot eyes
Mood swings
Mild sore throat or feeling of something in my throat
Dental problems that I never had before implants
I just cringe when I hear my beautiful 21 year old step-daughter saying she wants implants and when I hear young girls saying they want them for their Graduation present!
What is even worse is these "UNINFORMED PARENTS pay for them!
In 2005, more than 360,000 women and teenagers underwent surgery to have their breasts enlarged with silicone or saline implants and the numbers are growing rapidly!
Most of these women are or will be someone's MOMMY and will be unable to properly care for their children just a few short years down the road after having implants.
With the staggering statistics of children already having "absent fathers" in the home and the effects that that alone has on them, now imagine how the negative effects of having an "absent mother" will have on their lives.
It takes people like you and I to educate society about these "toxic balloons" and the damage they cause to women physically and mentally.
But what's even worse is the long-term effects it will have on the entire family.
Legislation is needed because the FDA has not been effective inprotecting consumers from these potentially harmful products. Please read the report of Kim Gandy, President of NOW, on this important topic, FDA Approval of Dangerous Implants Follows FDA Pattern of Favoring Money and Politics Over Science.
The Link Between Saline Implants and Dental Problems
I had been an Expanded Duties Dental Assistant for 25 years and up until I had my saline breast implants I NEVER had any problems with my teeth other than a a few fillings.
Since I've had my implants four years ago I have had five root canals, four crowns, two of which had to be replaced twice because of my teeth shifting and cracking (from grinding caused by pain from arthritis from the implants).
The first time they put porcelain to metal crowns in.... They caused major discomfort even though the teeth had been root-canaled and my gum tissue receded right near the margin. After they replaced the porcelain to metal crowns with full porcelain, I have not had problems with my crowns.
I still have other dental problems though such as plaque buildup and myalgia (facial pain) from grinding, even though I'm religious about wearing my night guard. I am very disciplined about brushing and flossing regularly so I know it is NOT from lack of dental hygiene. I feel that the arthritis and pain caused by the silicone shelled saline implants is the root of all of this. It's simple just look up (silicone poisoning).
The dry mouth would account for the unusual buildup of plaque that I never had before since saliva aids in washing away plaque. Now that my mouth is dryer from the symptoms of silicone poisoning I am getting more plaque, tarter, and need more dental work. And any grinding from joint pain or sleeplessness can cause shifting and recession so anyone who has saline or silicone implants is more than likely to have more dental problems than they had prior. I think it would be very wise that anyone who has implants and is having any symptoms of silicone poisoning to get more frequent dental cleanings AND wear a night guard every night.
I am not a dentist and do not claim to be one, but I do have knowledge about dental health because of my education and many years of experience.

The Rostral Columns are the architectural constructions in the center of Saint-Petersburg, on the Spit ("the Strelka") of Vasilevsky Island. In the XIX century they carried out the function of the port beacons of the northern capital.
The Spit of the Basil Island ("the Strelka of Vasilevsky Island") is the unique place in St.Petersburg full of historical points and legends. Visiting this place during private guided city tour in St.Petersburg will give you all the impressions and details. Coming back to the history:
The Rostral Columns were built in 1810 according to the project of the French architect Thomas de Tomon who decorated them with booms ("rostrums") of the ships. The design of the columns demonstrates the greatness and power of the state's navy, and also reminds the ancient Roman custom to decorate the columns with the booms of the captured enemy ships.
The well-known stone dresser S.K. Sukhanov was also working over that project. He was the native of poor peasants of the Vologda province. The statues at the bottom of the columns were completed by the sculptors Jozef Camberlein and Jacques Thibault. The presentation of the columns took place in 1815.
The columns-beacons were lit at night and in fog, and thus they served up to 1885. The southern beacon showed the way to the Big Neva River, while the northern beacon indicated the way to the Small Neva River. At the bottom of the columns two male and two female figures are located. According to the widespread hypothesis they were supposed to represent allegorically the great rivers of Russia: the Volga and the Dnieper at the northern column, the Neva and the Volkhov at the southern column. However this hypothesis has no justification.
Thomas de Tomon wrote: "the foundation of each column is decorated with huge figures which symbolize sea and commerce deities". The statues were made according to the models of French sculptors J. Camberlein and J. Thibault. The architect de Tomon had a kind feeling to both sculptors.
Bronze was chosen at first as the material for the sculptures, but later, because of the complexity of bronze processing, the choice fell on the so called "pudostsky" limestone that was extracted in the village of Pudost of the Gatchina district. Soft and elastic in the earth, that limestone hardened soon after the extraction to the surface, thus creating a strong and imposing foundation. Camberlein completed the male figure at the northern column; the others were created by Thibault. Inside of the both columns there is the spiral staircase conducting to the top observation deck with a huge bowl lamp which is held on the metal tripod. Earlier the bowl was filled with the hemp oil that was giving a huge fiery column, indicating the way to the ships in the night gloom or through the fog veil.
So it was up to 1896 when the electricity was brought to the columns. In 1957 beacons were lit by the means of gas due to the economy reasons.
Today the beacons are lit only on the special solemn occasions.
During the night on June 7th 2011 the southern rostral column was opened by the unknown person for the purpose of roofing, the monument of the architecture didn't suffer. During the night on August 23, 2011 the unknown man managed to get into one of the Rostral Columns; he opened the gate of the gas pipeline and lit the fire on it. According to the report of the law enforcement agencies, the fire-fighting crew arrived to the place, blocked the pipeline and extinguished the torch. Nobody suffered in the result of the following incident.

"Rock-a-Thon" raises over $6,000 for Make-A-Wish Foundation

EASTON, Mass. (June 27, 2017) – Stonehill College's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee was recognized at the Northeast-10 Conference's annual awards banquet, held at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough recently, for its fundraising efforts towards the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Stonehill SAAC led the NE10's fundraising efforts by bringing in $6,600 to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which is the primary charity for NCAA Division II. SAAC held its first Rock-a-Thon, which raised over $6,000, as well as its annual "Into the Bleachers" campaign throughout the academic year, bringing in a total of $6,600 for the year.
The Rock-a-Thon involved six purple rocking chairs and they were constantly in motion on April 28 from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Members of the Stonehill community, including various departments and athletic teams split time slots throughout the day with the hopes of hosting a Make-A-Wish reveal on campus during the upcoming academic year. The Rock-a-Thon also attracted the efforts of Auburn Middle School, which raised $800 towards the total by selling Easter Egg-Grams.
Stonehill SAAC was led in 2016-17 by chairperson Tommy Farrell (Toms River, New Jersey/Donovan Catholic), from the football team, vice chairperson Joe Santo (Newburyport, Massachusetts/Newburyport), from the cross country and track & field programs, and advisor Cindy MacDonald, the College's senior associate director of intercollegiate athletics.
Complete Listing of 2016-17 Stonehill SAAC
With 21 intercollegiate sports, after announcing the addition of women's golf for the 2017-18 academic year, Stonehill boasts one of the top athletic and academic programs in the country.

(CNN) – The Rev. Franklin Graham clarified his thoughts on President Barack Obama's Christian faith Wednesday, one day after the evangelical leader took heat over making comments about the president's ties to Islam.
"I don't question the president's faith. I'm not questioning whether he's a Christian," Graham said on CNN's "Newsroom." "I disagree with his position on abortion."
CNN LIVE: Tune in Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET for the last presidential debate before Super Tuesday, the CNN/Arizona Republican Party Debate hosted by John King. Follow it on Twitter at #CNNDebate and on Facebook at CNN Politics. For real-time coverage of the Arizona and Michigan primaries, go to CNNPolitics.com or to the CNN apps or CNN mobile web site.

On Tuesday, Graham stirred controversy when he expressed uncertainty over whether the president is sincere enough in his faith.
He said when he asked Obama about how he became a Christian, the president said he joined a church in Chicago after becoming a community organizer, leaving Graham to speculate whether he became a Christian for the right motives.
"You have to ask him. I cannot ask that question for anybody," he said Tuesday in an interview on MSNBC.
This wasn't the first time Graham, who heads the humanitarian organization Samaritan's Purse, weighed in on the president's faith. The evangelical leader made headlines in 2010 when he said he believed Obama was born a Muslim because of his heritage, but now believes he is a Christian.
On Wednesday, Graham repeated that his biggest problem with Obama was the president's position on abortion rights.
"I like him as a person, but he's absolutely 100% dead wrong on this issue," Graham said on CNN. "He will have to stand before God one day and give an account to God on this issue."
Asked about his comments on Rick Santorum, in which Graham definitively said the Republican presidential hopeful was a Christian, the reverend said Wednesday he regretted his choice of words.
"I misspoke there when I said he is a man of faith. God only knows everybody's heart," he said. "I would be more in line with the position of Rick Santorum as it relates to abortion. He is opposed to abortion. I certainly appreciate that."

Support from men and evangelicals boosts Santorum nationally
What is it with these supposed religious leaders questioning another's beliefs? Doesn't the Bible say something like: judge not, lest ye be judged? These sanctimonious bigots need to stay out of politics and shut up! Also, why didn't Franklin inherit his father's following?
Graham and Santorum certainly have the right to their opinions on abortion or any other topic. But there is SUPPOSE to be this freedom of religion in the US which THEY do not preacher nor practice. Their actions speak louder than any of their words!!! Supposedly this country (and the catholic religion) was built on freedom of choice. If that is true, why are they pushing their religous bigotry???
This Graham 2nd generation professional hater freak has never done an honest day's work in his life. What an underachiever. His father started the whole TV evangelist circus. Somebody buy me a cotton candy.
Who cares what he thinks?
This man is not even 1/10th of a man his father was.
He questioned the sincerity of his conversion, which is questioning whether or not he is a Christian. Franklin made an accusation, and is scrambling to do damage control by lying about what he said. He also needs to get off bashing Mormons: the problems of this country are too great for us to be distracted by a theological debate that answers nothing and satisfies no one.
He pees on his fathers legacy. Its a shame how everybody is becoming an religious extremist.
The bounderies between PACs and the religious community continue to become increasing blurred.
Yes, and Graham will have to stand before God one day and answer for his own actions, too. What ever happened to – "judge not, so you won't be judged". Read the bible for YOURSELF Graham instead of trying to find fault with others.
Hakim and Seyyed Muqtada al-Sadr, the 30-year-old son of the wildly popular Imam Mohammed Sadiq al-Sadr
Whats the difference ? Why cant sons of zealots find real jobs , religious royalty . ?
How about – BEFORE YOU SPEAK, STOP! Enough of the backtracking, mis-statements, misspeak, walking back comments. . .
If you aren't thinking about what you are about to utter, I suggest you should. Just because there is freedom of speech, doesn't mean you can always say what you want! It also doesn't mean you can say whatever you are thinking!
If you simply want to be controversial, get a web-site and blog your comments or better yet, get some time on a radio talk show!!!
Thoughtful discourse and dialogue are expected. Simply throwing out baseless, easily miscommunicated statements is a guarantee to continue the divisive nature of the commentary of today's politics!
Food for thought!
What an embarrassment you are to your dad! You must be desparate to spew the lies you do. You also will have to stand before your God and explain yourself! What a despicalbe liar you are!
Jesus must be kinda sad seeing folks who call themselves Christian nowadays...
It was shamful to simply dismiss Franklin Graham and the Newsweek article with a trite comment. Hundreds of Christians are being murdered in northern Nigeria. Churches and Bible Schools are being bombed in Sudan. Over 1000 Christians have been killed in Etheopia and many more have had their churches and homes burnt to the ground my Moslem Extremists and you (CNN) are too cowardly to mention it on your news broadcasts. This is the hieght of hypocracy in the light of your spending hours talking about NATO burning the Quran.
There's a place in he!! for these so called "Christians". It's people like this self righteous jerk who give the word Christain a bad name. Why doesn't he just keep his worthless opinions to himself, worry about his own soul and go away. These judgmental freaks belong on their own island out of the main stream of American life.
I am a Christian woman, and I don't give a flying fig what Rev. Graham thinks about anything. Ever hear of separation of church and state?
And, yes, we will all stand before God about how we lived our lives and our all life will not revolve around whether or not we believe in abortion.
Let's see, I didn't hear anything about abortion said at the time Graham made the remark about questioning if Obama is a Christian. I don't even recall abortion being mentioned........... Is Graham as Christian as HE says he is. And shame on him for judging anyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would think this would make him less of a christian..............
And one wonders what has happened to religion in this country? It is because of this.............hypocrisy.........
Obama/Biden 2012
All these guys attacking the President continue to have to 'redack' their statements. Very amusing as it proves they don't believe their own words. Just trying to make something out of nothing. Hey Graham – MOST of the county supports the President's views on abortion, gay rights, contraceptives, his foreign policies, his domestic policies. You people have NOTHING and you know it and in desperation men act like clowns.
He is just another throw back from when the Earth was flat and Women were kept at home barefoot and pregnant. Do you remember when Women and Blacks could not vote than this is your party (GOP) taking our country back 150 years so the White Male can rule again (yes this is sarcasm deal with it).
Can we just quit mousing around and ask the questions that are really driving all of these self-righteous comments about Obama's faith. There are actually two not so subtle motives here.
1) Is he really a christian 'like us" is a racist rallying cry without saying "black"
2) The holier than thou line of attack is begging the question as to whether we really want to a "theocracy in chief" for president.
"Graham clarifies", "Santorum clarifies" but neither met the challenge.
Too late for both of you. Some of us heard your every word Graham, and we have read Santorum's quotes.
No clarification needed, we know what you think. Your backtracking is as pathetic as your original statements.
The damage is done, and not to President Obama, but to your own credibility.
Sorry, but I'm not buying anything Franklin Graham is saying or will say. Here's the bottom line for me: Billy Graham was a religious bigot, an anti-semite and a silent racist. He preached alot about faith, but when push came to shove - like the struggle for civil rights, he never did anything productive or concrete to bring people together. He never preached equality. He never marched for the poor. He was devisive. He was anti-reason. Franklin Graham has done nothing to separate himself from his father's soiled legacy.
You should have said that in the first place. If you question the President's position on abortion, then you should be questiioning Willard. Because he was for abortion before he was aginst it.
Franklin Graham is a punk. He is a coward that would incite a mob to riot and stone someone by playing word games.
"You`ll have to ask him", says Graham? Did he or his father say THE SAME about Ronald Reagan, Daddy Bush, Bill Clinton, Baby Bush? No, they did not. But now that there are low information, racist, Neanderthal voters to appeal to, Graham wants to try to sway them with the dog whistle.
He is disguisting. We should pull any tax exemption that he and his "church" enjoys.
Franklin Graham is nothing more than a political hatchet-man. His father must be very proud.

About three weeks after getting back from my last trip in May, I bought a one-way ticket to Reykjavik. A month later, I booked five days in a hostel. And that was it. I did no research. I booked no tours or busses or anything. I didn't have any contacts. I barely even glanced at a map.
Just before I left, I started to panic a little bit and felt like I should at least google stuff to do in Iceland, but I suppressed the urge and went on with the planless plan. Thank goodness I did that. Because you know what? Coming to Iceland without an itinerary has developed itself into some of the best travel experiences I've ever had.
I spent my first full day in the "big" city of Reykjavik, wandering around in a jet-lagged daze. I tried to walk up and down the more populated streets with shops and cafes lining the sides, but despite the violent wind, I kept getting drawn to the edge of the water and the gorgeous view of this huge snow-topped mountain, looming over the bay.
I needed to be out there. Out where there is little-to-no civilization and nothing but more mountains and endless ocean and fields. I couldn't believe my luck when that night at the Kex Hostel, I met a Canadian couple and an Australian guy who had the same desire to escape the city, and invited me along with them to rent a car and drive through the country for a few days. I cancelled the final 3 days of my stay in Reykjavik and off we went.
We first headed South towards the city of Vik. What was supposed to be a 2 1/2 hour drive turned into a 6 hour journey with too many scenic stops to count. The day trip there and back included a race up a mini-mountain with the most stunning view from the top,
developing a bitterness towards waterfalls after visiting the famous Seljalandsfoss and, with a huge gust of wind, getting the entire load of water dumped right on top of me,
a lot of sheep,
and hours of walking barefoot on sparkling black-sand beaches.
I knew after one day of exploring that this place had something magic about it. I can't even seem to describe it without using boatloads of clichés and over-reaching metaphors, so I'll just leave it at this: Iceland is purely and perfectly beautiful and I'm not sure if I have seen anywhere else in the world that can compare. You just have to arrive with a loose schedule, an open mind, the yearning to find inspiration, and the rest will fall into place.
Well, it has worked out so far...
More adventure to come.

2016 Chevrolet Camaro Pricing Starts at $26,695, SS Going for $36,295
The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro isn't just lighter and quicker than the 2015 it's replacing, it's cheaper too. Those looking to buy a new Camaro will be dishing out just a bit less than they would if they were to walk into a dealership this today for the current-generation car. Base price for a throaty four-cylinder Camaro pricing starts at only $26,695 for the LT trim, including the $995 destination charge. For that, you're getting a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that puts out a respectable 275 horsepower and 295 lb-ft torque. RELATED: See Photos of the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro
You're money also getting Chevrolet's MyLink infotainment system, equipped with Apple CarPlay and a rearview camera, not to mention 20-inch wheels, HID headlights, and a rear spoiler to turn heads on the street.
Looking for something with more power? The 455-horsepower, V8-powered Camaro 1SS starts at $36,295. Compare that to the current Camaro SS, and that's almost a $3,000 increase from 2015. Though, with all the new engineering behind it, it's definitely worth it.
Among the assortment of performance employed is the drive mode selector. It alters throttle progression, steering response and feel, and stability control, as well as other systems, each optimized for Snow/Ice, Sport, and Tour modes.
RELATED: See Photos of the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible
Unfortunately, Chevrolet hasn't dished out the details on the V6 that we drove a few months back, but we can expect it to start out somewhere in the low $30,000 range. Between four-cylinder and V8, is the V6. It pumps out 335 horsepower and 284 lb-ft torque, and does a solid job bridging the gap in performance offerings for the latest itteration of this iconic muscle car.

After a 3.5 hour ferry from Wellington, we finally arrived in the scenic South Island. At this point in the Kiwi Experience we had formed a hilarious, hodge-podge family that consisted of:
- Iris, 21, Dutch, "the (usually) responsible mom";
- José, 23, Dutch, "rebellious daughter number 1";
- Josine, 24, Dutch, "rebellious daughter number 2";
- Max, 24, Dutch, "the pampered younger brother"; and
- Michael and Alie, 26, American, "the fun aunt and uncle".
The family of once strangers (otherwise known as the "Dutchies and the Honeymooners") spent significant time together from our daily adventures hiking and bus riding to wild nights playing Pictionary and celebrating the Jewish holidays, making our time in New Zealand infinitely more fun (and more Dutch).
During our second week on the Kiwi Experience, we explored:
- Abel Tasman, where (after our plans to spend a night in the park were scuttled when we arrived on the first day of off season) we spent the day hiking in the gorgeous, beach side park. We dipped in and out of the ocean as we made our way up to beautiful Anchorage Bay, then explored an opening on the beach that appears only during the 2-hourlong low tide.
- Westport & Lake Mahinapua, where, despite limited time, we explored the nearby ocean & lake vistas. In Lake Mahinapua we participated in a strange but amazing Kiwi Experience tradition of the "Pu Pub Fancy Dress Party" (aka costume party in NZ lingo).
- Franz Joseph, where, caught in a serious downpour, we decided to host a Passover Seder. After a day of scraping together matzoh ball soup, a Seder plate and charoset (in addition to a full meal of chicken, fish & vegetables), with the limited options available in the small-town supermarket, we recounted the story of Passover and said the prayers alongside our Dutch friends, who enjoyed their first ever Seder. The next day in picture perfect weather (God must have appreciated our Passover efforts) – Alie clipped on crampons and helicoptered out onto Franz Joseph Glacier and Michael and the rest of the family admired a perfect mirror reflection of Mount Cook on Lake Matheson.
- Wanaka, where we enjoyed what felt like perfect, crisp New York autumn days by summiting Mount Iron covered in yellow & red fall foliage and admiring fresh fruits and vegetables at Mrs. Jones Family Orchard.
After two weeks on the Kiwi Experience, we arrived in Queenstown and said goodbye to our busmates with one final night out in the beautiful lake-side city. Although sad to depart our Dutch family, we were ecstatic to pick up our campervan for a 10-day solo tour through the Southern Alps and Fjordland.
Tesser's Tips
Things To Do:
- Abel Tasman is a must-see National Park. The park sits alongside miles and miles of coastline, with countless beaches, vistas and swimming spots to enjoy. During high season, it's possible to spend several nights in the park in huts, campsites or a catamaran hostel in Anchorage Bay. We highly recommend multiples days in the Park, which will allow you to see & hike more.
- The stretch of west coast between Abel Tasman and Franz Joseph is beautiful, but we didn't find it as jaw dropping as we had been led to believe (maybe the stunning beauty of Patagonia and Bolivia has made us numb). There are plenty of beach-side towns along the way that offer scenic pullout points (such as the Pancake Rocks), short hikes and activities (including surfing). The Cape Foulwind coastal walk outside of Westport was stunning.
- Franz Joseph itself is a small town with not much to offer, BUT a helicopter ride or skydive over the nearby glaciers are 100% worth the steep pricetag. Make sure to make a pitstop at Lake Matheson as you head farther south – the perfect mirror lake is quite the site to see.
- The lakes region between Franz Joseph and Queenstown has some stunning scenery, accompanied by what are supposed to be beautiful hikes. To us, this was the start of the beauty we had heard all about in New Zealand. Make sure to take time driving & stopping through this stretch near Wanaka to take it all in.
- If you're in Queenstown on a Monday, Friday or Saturday night, The World Bar has an awesome vibe complete with a live band, a cozy fireplace and delicious smelling mulled wine.
Accommodations & Transportation: Same advice as found in our "New Zealand – North Island" post.
Days Stayed / Recommended: We will spend a total of about 3 weeks on the South Island, and that is not nearly enough. The Kiwi Experience offered us a brief overview of the Island thus far, and we've lost count of the number of places we would like to spend more time in. With limited time we would recommend a minimum of 3 days in Abel Tasman, 2 in Franz Joseph and 2 in Wanaka to even skim the surface (and that doesn't include the rest of the South Island).
Local Food: We enjoyed a solid meal of fish and chips in Abel Tasman, this staple has been available throughout our time in NZ. If you are in Queenstown, we have one word for you: Fergburger. This famous burger joint certainly lived up to its reputation as we chowed down on a Big Al (not going to lie we went more than once in 12 hours…).

Visiting Victoria Falls in January 2014
by Allan
I will be spending 3 weeks as a solo traveller in South Africa in January, hoping to visit Victoria Falls as part of an itinerary which will include Sabi Sands, Isandlwana and ending by touring the Garden Route to Cape Town, where I have to be by 1st February. I aim to arrive on a BA flight from the UK in Johannesburg on either the 17th or 18th January and thought the easiest way to put my itinerary together would be to fly directly to Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe side) after arriving in Jo'burg, spend 1-2 days there and return to Jo'burg to set off for Sabi Sands - does this sound sensible, rather than having to double back from eg Kruger or Durban to Victoria Falls?
Pathfinder bus
by Mary Cole
We would like to catch the Pathfinder from Vic Falls to Hwange Safari Lodge. I saw it advertised on your website. When I enquired I was told one had to go in person to make a booking at their offices. How do people outside Zimbabwe manage to book?

Schools are evaluated annually on the performance of their students as a whole and the performance of various subgroups. These Annual Measurable Objectives (AMO) only apply if the school has at least 30 students in the group. For many Polk County Schools, there are not enough students in the subgroups to be evaluated. The following report shows the subgroups at the District and School level. If the AMO target is Met, the school receives a Y in the Met Target column. An N indicates that the AMO was Not Met and an I indicates that there were an insufficient number of students to evaluate.
Read to Achieve
In 2013-2014, the NC Legislature implemented the NC Read to Achieve (RTA) program. RTA requires students in the 3rd grade to meet the Reading Proficiency Standard before being promoted to the 4th grade. The 2013-14 results for Polk County are linked below.
Statistical Summary of NC State Results
The following reports provide performance and growth data based on analysis of all EOG and EOC tests administered to Public & Charter schools in the state.

Book Riot published a piece on Finding Libraries in Unexpected Places. There are some great pictures and an interesting narrative for each. Also, some nifty ideas that might help libraries remain as a place to check out books—real books, printed on paper. I would hate to see libraries turned into book museums, or internet portals for the digitally deprived. I prefer librarians to be information savvy, rather than technology chauffeurs.

6 Dual Temperature Wine Fridges to Consider
A dual zone, or dual temperature, wine fridge, is one that features two temperature compartments, and provides storage for both red and white wines at the respective proper temperatures. They come in a variety of bottle sizes and price points, depending on capacity and features.
Things to Know Before Shopping
Before you set out to buy a dual-temperature wine fridge, it is important to understand a few key elements.
Thermoelectric Versus Compressor Cooler
Most wine fridges use either thermoelectric cooling or compressor. Compressor wine fridges use a refrigerant to cool the air inside the refrigerator, the same way as in a standard kitchen refrigerator. These may be heavier and louder, but more powerful. Thermoelectric models are popular as they are quieter and more energy efficient. They are also popular because they produce less vibration. However, they don't produce any cold air, so they are more susceptible to temperature fluctuations.
Freestanding Versus Built-In
There are different types of wine fridges, depending on your needs. Some are designed as built-in coolers, meaning they easily slide in under counters or alongside cabinets, depending on your configuration. Freestanding units are ones that are designed to be just that, free standing. They may have more details, and not be flush on the side, since they aren't meant to slide in next to cabinets.
Popular Options for Dual Zone Wine Fridges
If you're in the market for a dual-temperature wine fridge, there are a variety of models available depending on size and space.
Hybrid Wine and Beverage Fridge
Made by N'FINITY PRO, the S Beverage Station is a combination wine fridge and beverage center. It would be ideal as a built-in, under-the-counter option, or it is pretty enough to be a freestanding unit. Situated side by side, this is more like two separate wine fridges, but it provides a sleek alternative to smaller-capacity dual-temperature wine fridges.
The N'FINITY PRO includes a variety of features, such as:
- Each wine fridge has a 46-bottle capacity
- Blue LED lights inside the unit
- Front-venting allows for built-in or freestanding use
- Charcoal filter maintains proper humidity and helps keep fresh air circulating through the cabinet
- Digital climate controls
- UV-protected and can be either stainless steel trim or smoked full-glass doors
- 3-year warranty
The coolest feature that sets this wine fridge apart from others on the market is its innovative shelving design. The fridge offers smooth gliding shelves on ball-bearing tracks that provide easy access to your bottles, but can store a variety of sizes and styles. The low-profile scallops help minimize vibration and movement, and the circular air vents ensure plenty of airflow.
Buy it directly from Wine Enthusiast for $1,799.
Haier 12-Bottle Wine Fridge
For a small wine fridge that has dual temperature controls, consider the Haier Quiet 12-bottle dual-zone curved-door option. It has a curved door with smoked glass and black finish. Each temperature zone/cooling compartment has its own independent LED display and electronically controlled input. It has a thermoelectric-based cooling system which minimizes vibrations and has silent operation. The door only opens to the right, and doesn't appear to be interchangeable, so it may limit potential display locations.
According to Wine Cooler Lab, one potential negative with this fridge is that it is very fragile and can get damaged in transit or during shipping. What's concerning is that the damage may not be immediately noticeable, taking a few months to manifest.
It's available at Walmart for $148, not including shipping.
Vinotemp Wine Storage Credenza
If you're not sold on the idea of having a freestanding wine fridge in your home, and you don't have room to do a built-in, why not one that fits in with your decor? Vinotemp makes a 38-bottle wine storage credenza that has two independently controlled fridge sections. Aside from being a cool piece of furniture, it holds 18 wine glasses in the central stemware racks and includes three storage draws to place all your wine accessories in.
It has three pull-out service shelves, dual compressor cooling systems, and a beautiful wood exterior with a mahogany finish. Dual-paned glass doors and soft interior lights help protect and display your wine collection.
Available directly from Vinotemp for $1,995 plus $439 in shipping costs.
Koldfront 18 Bottle Dual-Zone Wine Cooler
The Koldfront (TWR181ES) 18-bottle dual-zone thermoelectric wine cooler is a free-standing fridge only and cannot be used as a built-in.
- The lower zone is 54F-64F for 12 bottles.
- Six bottles fit on top at 45F-54F.
This is a great deal for a dual-zone wine fridge when compared to Amazon's number one best-selling wine fridge overall. The Ivation 18-bottle single temperature wine fridge retails for just a little less than this dual zone option.
One downside to this fridge is that it may not hold larger format bottles, so keep this in mind if you plan to cellar a lot of sparkling wines or other non-standard bottle sizes. Another potential negative is that white-wine drinkers will find the larger section is devoted to favorable red wine temperatures.
The Amazon price is $199, including free shipping.
EdgeStar Built-In Dual Zone Wine Cooler
If you're looking for a large capacity wine fridge, but don't have the room to do a side-by-side, Wine Cooler Direct recommends the 23-inch-wide 155-bottle wine cooler from EdgeStar. The lower zone is 54F-64F which is ideal for reds and the upper zone has a 41F-54F range which is perfect for whites.
The shelves and bottle capacity are designed for "typical Bordeaux" bottle sizes. It has 14 shelves, 13 of which are full-size and able to hold 11 bottles and there is one half-size lower shelf that can hold up to 12 bottles. The layout allows you to maximize your bottle storage unless you are storing large format or unusual bottle sizes.
The door can be reversed, which means you can choose to have it open left or right. It also has digital controls and tinted glass. When compared to the 332-bottle capacity fridge, this one doesn't have a security lock built in.
However, at only 23 inches wide, it's much more convenient for those who don't have a lot of room for such a large fridge.
It's available on Wine Cooler Direct for under $1,900. You can also find it on Amazon.
EdgeStar Large-Capacity Built-In Side-by-Side
If you're looking for a large-capacity option, The Spruce recommends the EdgeStar 332-bottle built-in side-by-side wine cellar as one of their best wine fridges to buy in 2018. It's basically two of their 166-bottle fridges, but you get a discount by getting two at a time. Temperate ranges on both are 40F-65F so they both work for both white and red wines. The temperature is controlled by a digital touch screen, and a nice feature of this fridge is a built-in security lock. Built-in carbon filters protect wine against harmful odors, while tinted glass protects bottles from harsh light and UV rays. It also has wood-trimmed slide-out shelves and auto-defrost.
The coolers can be set up separately, or arranged to open in a French door fashion. This is a great alternative to get a large-capacity dual zone option without the high price tag of a traditional dual-zone fridge.
One downside to this model is both fridges arrive set for right hinge opening. If you want to do the French door look, you will have to follow the instructions to change one door. Also, Amazon will only deliver these curbside. You are responsible to getting them inside.
It's available on Amazon for $1,999.
Decide Whether Dual Temp Is for You
The obvious benefit to a dual-temperature wine fridge is the ability to store both reds and whites at the same time. If you just want to store inexpensive wines in a cooler versus in the fridge itself, then perhaps a single-temperature fridge is the way to go. And, if you're looking for a very small countertop model, you're pretty much limited to single-temperature options anyway.
Storage and Aging Considerations
Those just getting into wine aren't necessarily in need of an expensive, dual-temperature fridge, unless you are starting to purchase wines that are meant to be aged. If you are spending upwards of $100 or more on a bottle of wine, having them stored at the proper temperature is essential. Wines are delicate, and exposure to warm air can ruin a wine rather quickly. Also, storing wines at the wrong temperature can speed up the aging process, making for an unbalanced wine. Storing your whites at a lower temperature may help extend their lifespan, which is another bonus for dual temperature wine coolers.
Check Warranties
Like all appliances, wine fridges won't last forever. Some models may last for a long time while others may die early on. Consider available warranties as they may make a difference if a wine fridge starts acting up in a year or two.
Caveat on Shipping to California
If you live in the state of California, getting a wine fridge shipped to your home may be a bit of a challenge. The California Energy Commission (CEC) passed a law regarding energy efficiency standards, which regulates the maximum annual energy consumption (kWh), so some wine fridges cannot be shipped to the state. Make sure when you are shopping online that you see a notation on whether it's certified for CEC standards, or it may have a warning that this particular model can't be shipped to California.
Is a Dual Temperature Wine Fridge Worth It?
Not all wine enthusiasts will need a dual-zone wine fridge, unless you're into higher-end wines or drink both white and red varietals on a regular basis. White wines and red wines should be kept at slightly different storage temperatures, so if you only have a single-temperature wine fridge, it means one of your favorite wine styles might be slightly off from how you normally enjoy it. Depending on how many bottles you plan to store, you may find the price difference is not that significant, and the higher price may be worth it as you expand both your wine knowledge and your wine collection.

I used for some time a TS3 server to speak with friends on a local network without problems.
Now, a friend of mine is trying to connect to my server through internet. He uses my external ip adress (most of the time my dyndns but we checked if there wasn't a problem with it) and can't connect.
I opened the 9987, 10011 and 30033 ports. Connection failed.
I tried with a 9986-9988 range. Not better.
My firewall was switched off.
I tried this website's test (http://www.canyouseeme.org/ ) but it didn't worked (told me there was a timeout). I tried on other ports (like the ones I use for my FTP server which works) and still gave me a timeout.
The friend is able to connect to other servers (like the one given in some topics).
I am able to connect to my server in localhost and using the 192.168.x.x adress.
I don't know what to try now.
Can someone help me ?

Peanut Butter Banana Muffins
I made these peanut butter and banana muffins before Ryan and I went on our trip to Savannah, and we enjoyed them so much that I've made them three more times since we got back! I found the basic recipe from Taste of Home and tweaked the flour a little bit. Instead of 1-1/2 cups of flour, I used 1 cup of flour, 1/4 cup of powered peanut butter, and 1/4 cup of hemp protein powder. I'm going to continue developing these muffins and look for a way to reduce the amount of sugar to make them a little more healthy, but they are still great as is until then!
These muffins are a convenient grab-and-go breakfast on busy mornings and are cheaper than muffins purchased at a coffee shop. Feel free to share questions or modifications below!
