This project examines the extent to which understandings of textual hermeneutics – the ways in which religious believers read the Bible and the Qur'an – shape the relationship between science and religion. Our specific aim is to understand how Christian and Muslim scientists relate their scriptures and traditions to the scientific worlds in which they operate, and to explore the challenges that individuals and groups face in different contexts. We then explore how the narratives of science and those of religious texts can be brought into dialogue by suggesting new theoretical models, and developing and testing innovative, practical resources to this end.
The project focuses on Christianity and Islam, world religions that both attach great importance to their written Scriptures and historical traditions. The research draws in experts from different disciplines, including scientists, theologians and textual critics from both faith traditions. Ultimately, the project aims to enable people in the Christian and Islamic traditions, scientists and non-scientists alike, to explore creative ways in which their Scriptures can be related to some of the big questions in science.
The implementation of the project falls into three distinct parts: a literature survey, a fieldwork element and the development of key models and resources. Since the research is orientated towards providing constructive ways for scientists to relate their scientific knowledge to their religious Scriptures, the priorities for the first two parts of the implementation are to gather knowledge on the way science is or has been related to Scripture in Islam and Christianity and to gain an understanding of the questions and issues that scientists in each tradition face when they read their Scriptures and the ways that they attempt to resolve these.
The fieldwork will adopt a mixed-method approach comprising online surveys, group discussions and semi-structured individual interviews. A further priority in the fieldwork, particularly in the group discussions, will be to explore potential new and creative ways in which Scripture can be related to some of the big questions in science. Both group work and interviews will provide new insights that will, in turn, generate fresh theoretical models to facilitate fruitful engagement between scientists and Scriptures and to enable the production of high quality tools and resources for reading Scripture in the light of science. These resources will be developed and tested in collaboration with the Cambridge Inter-faith Programme at the University of Cambridge's Faculty of Divinity.

Controversy Surrounding The Diagnosis Of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) :
Diagnosing borderline personality disorder (BPD) is often regarded as controversial. There are several reasons for this which you can read about by clicking on the links that I provide at the bottom of this article.
The DSM V Criteria For The Diagnosis Of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) :
However, currently, borderline personality disorder is most commonly diagnosed by psychiatrists according to the criteria listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (usually referred to as DSM V and sometimes informally and, perhaps, a little disparagingly, described as 'The Psychiatrists' Bible).
The NINE criteria from the DSM V for the diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD) are listed below. I have also created a slideshow of the nine criteria which is featured immediately below :
SLIDESHOW : THE NINE CRITERIA USED TO HELP DIAGNOSE BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER (BPD) :[metaslider id="24306″]
1) Extreme fluctuations in emotions
2) Outbursts of explosive anger
3) Intense fear of abandonment which can lead to frantic efforts to maintain a relationship
4) Impulsive behavior
5) Self-harm (e.g. cutting skin with sharp objects, burning skin with cigarettes)
6) Unstable self-concept / weak sense of own identity
7) Chronic and profound feelings of 'emptiness' (often leading to excessive eating/ consumption of alcohol/ illicit drug-taking etc 'to fill the void')
8) Dissociation (click here to read my article : Symptoms Of Dissociation – Mild And Severe)
9) Highly volatile and intense relationships
NB These symptoms must have been stable characteristics present for at least six months
AND, TO BE DIAGNOSED WITH BPD : the individual must suffer from AT LEAST FIVE of the symptoms listed. (N.B. BPD can't be self-diagnosed – only a suitably qualified professional can make such a diagnosis).
Important Reasons Why Borderline Personality Disorder Diagnosis Is Considered By Many To Be Controversial :
As I pointed out in the introductory paragraph to this article, the diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD) is considered by many to be controversial. In order to learn more about these controversies, you may wish to read my previously published articles relating to this which I list below. Please simply click on the titles of any of the articles you wish to read.

Jul. 19 - Ernest Hemingway was born on July 21, 1899. He was young at the time of his birth. It was fine to be young.
He drove an ambulance in the first world war. It wasn't called the first world war then. It was called the war. It was one of those times when people shot at each other. When people were shooting at each other they didn't have time to worry about what to call it. It was only afterwards that they needed to call it something. "What should we call that time when we were shooting at each other?" "Let's call it the Great War." "Good."
It was a good ambulance. It was long and white. It had flashing lights and a siren that went "wee-ooo, wee-ooo." He liked that.
After the war he lived in Paris. A lot of Americans lived in Paris after the war, but only a few of them had ever driven an ambulance. In the 30s he went to Spain. He was a journalist. They were having a war.
They called it the Spanish Civil War. It was started by an Evil Bastard named General Franco on July 18, 1936. It was a test to see whether or not they should have World War II. They had fascists and socialists and anarchists. They even had clowns. People shot at each other.
(General Franco finally gave up power on July 19, 1974, because he was sick. Maybe he had always been sick. It is sometimes hard to understand sickness. Maybe we are not meant to understand it.)
Later Hemingway lived in Cuba. He liked to fish. He thought all men should fish. He wrote stories about fishing. Finally he blew his brains out at his home in Idaho. It was July 2, 1961. He had written a lot of books but now he was dead.
On July 19, 1870, France attempted to declare war on Russia. Due to a typographical error, however, she inadvertently declared war on Prussia and caused the Franco-Prussian war. This eventually led to the creation of Germany, which led to World War I, World War II, and the Volkswagen. Moral: always prooofread.
On July 20, 1402, at the battle of Angora, Tamerlane led his huge army of Taters against the Ottomans (or Ottomen). Tamerlane captured the Sultan (Head Ottoman), and this is why we call some sweaters Angoras to this day. (Angora, however, is now called Ankara.)
On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon. It was a brave thing to do. Hemingway would have liked that.
But he would have been disappointed by the fishing.
July 19 birthdays: Anthony Edwards (1962), Vikki Carr (1941), George McGovern (1922), Lizzie Borden (1860), Edgar Degas (1834).
July 20 birthdays: Carlos Santana (1947), Diana Rigg (1938), Natalie Wood (1938), Chuck Daly (1933), Sir Edmund Hillary (1919).
July 21 birthdays: Jon Lovitz (1957), Robin Williams (1952), Cat Stevens (1948), Kenneth Starr (1946), Don Knotts (1924), Isaac Stern (1920), Marshall McLuhan (1911), and the aforementioned Hemingway.
July 19 is Independence Day in Laos, Martyr's Day in Myanmar (and Burma), amd Liberation Day in Nicaragua. July 20 is President's Day in Botswana, Independence Day in Columbia, and Crown Prince Haakon's Birthday in Norway.

What is glaucoma?
Primary glaucoma is a painful and blinding disease associated with high eye pressure.
The disease, which is difficult to treat successfully, affects over 40 breeds of dog worldwide and at least 1,500 dogs in the UK each year, with the majority having to have both eyes removed.
Researching glaucoma
So far, we know that an abnormality affecting the drainage path of the eye, known as goniodysgenesis (also known as pectinate ligament dysplasia), is significantly associated with primary closed angle glaucoma, the most common form of glaucoma in dogs. This abnormality is inherited and seen in many dog breeds including Flatcoated Retrievers, Welsh Springer Spaniels, Cocker Spaniels, American Cocker Spaniels, English Springer Spaniels, Basset Hounds, Border Collies, Golden Retrievers, Leonbergers and Dandie Dinmont Terriers.
By looking at the DNA of dogs affected by glaucoma or the abnormality, we can discover why glaucoma occurs and develop DNA tests to help prevent it. We're currently working towards DNA tests for the following susceptible breeds: Basset Hounds, Dandie Dinmont Terriers, Welsh Springer Spaniels and Flatcoated Retrievers.
Help our research into glaucoma
In order to develop new DNA tests, we need help from owners and breeders of:
- any dog affected by severe goniodysgenesis or pectinate ligament dysplasia
- any dog affected by primary glaucoma
- any dog, over five years of age, confirmed clear of goniodysgenesis by a veterinary ophthalmologist
We cannot develop DNA tests to help more dogs without your help! You can help by requesting a cheek swab collection kit to gather DNA from your dog which you simply send back to us in the post!
Please send me a cheek swab kit to help with glaucoma research
We have already successfully created DNA tests for forms of glaucoma that affect Basset Hounds, Petit Basset Griffon Vendeens and Shar Peis.
These can be purchased from www.ahtdnatesting.co.uk
1500 dogs are affected by glaucoma every year
6 mutations have been identified that cause glaucoma in six different breeds.
Research lead
We are very grateful to the following for their ongoing support of this work:
The Kennel Club Charitable Trust,
Petplan Charitable Trust,
American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation,
BrAVO (British Association of Veterinary Ophthalmologists),

Share on ThriftyFunThis page contains the following solutions. Have something to add? Please share your solution!
To make instant mashed potatoes taste better, add some salt free seasoning such as Mrs. Dash. The seasoning masks the artificial flavor some instant potatoes have.
By Lynn
I love to have single serve mashed potatoes on hand at our house. I use stock or broth for the liquid instead of water, because it adds more nutrition to the potatoes. Usually I buy the broth or stock, but sometimes I make it myself.
I wanted to share this tip, for those who are trying to add more nutrition to their meals, and for those who don't like the taste of instant potatoes made with water.
Have a blessed day!
Ask a QuestionHere are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community or ask a new question.
How do you make instant potatoes without milk? Can you use evaporated milk?
Yes, you can make them with evaporated milk. Just reconstitute it with an equal part of water and stir (ex: 1/2 cup evaporated milk + 1/2 cup water = 1 cup "milk").
I have a sister who has never been able to drink milk or eat anything made with it. So we all had to learn to cook without it. When I make instant potatoes and I know she is going to eat, I add the same amount of water that was needed for the milk, then I add anywhere from a half a stick to a whole stick of margarine. She can only have the type made with corn oil.
It tastes just as good as instant potatoes can, you'd never know there wasn't any milk. We also use to make biscuits with water too until I learned how to make it with mayo/salad dressing (the white stuff). I still add water just not as much and the flavor is out of this world. I don't have a recipe, it's one of those things you do by touch. I hope this helps.
Use sour cream. It tastes great! Closer to taste of real homemade potatoes.
How can potato flakes be made to taste like homemade mashed potatoes? They do not taste well to me when made up according to the directions. Are there other ways to use the potato flakes?
If you are using them as a side dish, dice up one small potato, boil and mash. Make the potato flakes according to directions and add the mashed potato. The real potato will make the instant taste better.
Use cream, real butter, cream cheese or cottage cheese intead of the milk or water in the package directions.
Add garlic powder, chopped chives (dried or fresh), diced onion (dried or fresh), pepper, paprika, lemon pepper seasoning, etc.
Make "loaded baked potato" mashed potatoes. Add cheese, bacon bits, chives, sour cream.
Use potato flakes to make potato soup - heat chicken broth, add potato flakes, onion, parsley, chopped celery, pepper.
I think you've said it all!
My husband doesn't really like potato flakes. When I am in a hurry and don't have time for the real thing I have found a way to make them tastier. I follow the package directions as to how much water/butter/milk to use. When I am heating the liquids either in the microwave or on the stove I add 1 packet of dry onion soup mix and heat that along with the water.
I use them to thicken soups and gravies and ocasionanlly use them for potatoes. I've found the easiest way (for me) to make mashed potatoes -- and within a few minutes.
Buy the potatoes in a can....they are 50 cents at the $1 and I've seen them for about 25cents at the discount grocery store. Simply heat up, mash and use them like like regular potatoes-- lumpy, smooth, cream cheese, cream, cheese etc. They work great and take about 4 minutes to put together.
My kids, when they were young, prefered my instant mashed potatoes! (still do)
I use the butter (real) salt and pepper to taste and add, depending on the amount needed, cream cheese instead of milk or cream. You may need to experiment with the proportions, but, this is something you may really like.
Thanks for taking the time to share your awesome tips. I will be trying some of them right away. I love this website with its many and varied tips and recipes.
I use them to make potato bread. Much quicker and easier than boiling a potato for the juice.
Well you guys need to try Idahoan instant potatoes in the RED box or bag. They are hard to find but they are EXCELLENT! If you prepare them like the box says, I SWEAR, you can't tell they aren't the real thing! I PROMISE YOU!
I make some instant up ahead of time and make potato doughnuts with them. I also add sour cream and chives and a dash of garlic salt to them for meals.
I do think that mashed potatoes made from scratch are better....have a richer more potato-y taste; however I make the instant quite a bit because it's fast and easy. We just had some tonight in fact. The kids definitely do not see a difference and hubby and me are just fine with them. I have used various brands and they are all about the same in taste but there is a difference in price. There is one I get at Wal-Mart. I thought it was Idahoan but I could be wrong. It says on the box that Pepperidge Farm makes them. Now tonght we had Hungry Jack and I did think it tasted a bit better...a little more potato taste. You can use the potato flakes as a coating for fried chicken; however I haven't tried yet.
My mother in law cooks for a big crowd every Sun and if mashed potatoes are on the menu, it's instant. She has to make so much that it would be a real pain to do from scratch. She is a real good cook too but in this case it's just easier to make a big batch of the instant!
Here is my recipe for potato flakes. they taste really good for boxed potatoes.
Make Ahead Mashed Potatoes Using Instant Potatoes
The following are great when you dont want to peel potatoes. They freeze well in Ziploc bags too. My hubby couldnt tell them from the real thing. They really are tasty.
6 7 cups of instant mashed potatoes (according to package directions, but dont add butter)
(I use Betty Crocker Home-style mashed potatoes, I like their flavor best)
1 8 ounce cream cheese
1 - 8 ounce Sour cream
1/2 - 1 tsp. or more onion powder (to taste)
1/8 1/4 tsp. Pepper
Make potatoes according to box directions, but leave out butter. Add cream cheese, onion powder and pepper. Stir till incorporated. Add enough sour cream to make a nice consistency. If the potatoes seem too loose or not stiff enough, add a little more potato flakes and stir. If they are too thick add enough hot water and butter to make a good consistency.
Hint: I freeze instant potatoes in quart Ziploc bags. I lay them flat to store in freezer. When reheating them in the microwave after they have been frozen, they may seem like they are going to be thin and not nice when reheating, but stir and keep heating. The water will incorporate they will be nice. Just like fresh.
I have a recipe for make ahead mashed potatoes that are like fresh mashed that you make a couple days ahead like Thanksgiving. I will send it if anyone wants it.
Linda from PA
I just add some powdered coffee creamer to them. It really makes them taste creamier and more like regular mashed potatoes from scratch.
I use instant Potatoes all the time as they are fast and easy i put a bowl of water with pepper and butter in the microwave till butter has melted then i add the potato flakes i little at a time my grandkids love them as they have no lumps i make Potato salad out of them and everyone cannot tell the diffrence and i buy a big can of them at Wall-Mart and the name is Idahoan and they keep them on the bottom shelf there is so meny ways to fix them try them all or find new ideas

Andy Wiener was born and raised in Edinburgh, Scotland, and now lives and works in the London area. He studied photography at the Royal College of Art between 1984 and 1986.
His work is held in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Scottish National Portrait Gallery and the Scottish Arts Council.
Andy Wiener, alongside other Scottish photographers, in particular Calum Colvin and Ron O'Donnell were at the centre of a Scottish movement of photography referred to as "Constructed Narrative" in the late 1980s.
The investigation of the self, and the investigation of the unconscious, is a common thread that runs through his photographic work. His work has resonances with the art movements of surrealism and symbolism.

Commentary by Jim Lawson on Life Story Work
About A Rake's Progress
Wiener started using photographic masks in the mid 1980's.
He was one of the first photographers to use this technique in a large body of work.
His subjects wear photographs of other peoples faces and are then photographed. The masks are flat. A photograph of a face is pasted onto cardboard and then cut out around the face. It is supported infront of the face of the subject using glasses and polystyrene and selotape. The photographs are then taken "straight", so these images are not montages. One of Wiener's photographs shows the ideas of what is happening: see Implantation .
In the series A Rakes Progress (1986) Wiener used his own face to make the masks.
In the series Love Scenes (1988) he used masks made from the faces of dolls - Barbie Doll, Ken and He-Man.

Investments of any kind have an element of risk, so being prepared is a critical key to success. Investing in property no exception, however, while it can offer a strong risk/return profile it is highly illiquid therefore strong consideration should be made when buying property. Most important, it is essential to understand the local property market, the specifics of the property, and type of tenants and rental returns achievable.
Here we will look at ways to evaluate property you are interested in.
Evaluate the Area
Where to begin when evaluating a property? Well firstly, in the area it resides. You need to know the mid to long-term developmental plans for the area. What is currently a family home surrounded by open fields, could soon be a new development of flats and townhouses. A flat with fantastic views may soon be blocked by the next high-rise in the pipeline. The local area can have a significant impact on the valuation of a property and its long-term profitability. It is essential to carefully check the ownership, current type and expected utilization of neighbouring zones, establishments, and undeveloped land in the region as well as significant infrastructure plans.
Evaluate the Profit
Whether you require funding or not, properly evaluating the property you are interested in can help you understand the investment involved.
Breaking information down into specific reports makes it clearer to understand and evaluate better.
• Sales Comparison Report – Evaluating the local sales and active listings on the market that are similar to your property. Homes with the same room numbers, square footage and outside space. This creates an idea of sales over a period of times and seasons.
• Costs Report – Evaluate the costs for maintenance, taxes, and depreciation in the market. If you are purchasing an old property you will also need to calculate the costs of bringing the property up to required standards, if necessary.
• Income Report – Evaluate the expected income (monthly rent) and regular outgoings to create a cash flow statement to estimate the level of profit you could make.
Evaluate the Property
When investing in an old property it is necessary to know the condition of it, in order to assess costs needed to update to required levels. Items such as the gas safety certificate, quality of the windows and functionality of the heating are all responsibilities of a landlord. Some investment homes may need a refresh in the decorating in order to appeal to tenants, the costs of which will need to be evaluated in a costs report. If there is outdoor space, this may require a clean-up to guarantee there are no safety issues such as potholes, dangerous vegetation or wildlife.
New homes need a thorough inspection as well, as they can sometimes come with their own issues, especially when purchasing from a new or smaller developer. Be sure to confirm if the lease has any restrictions on subletting, restrictions on the occupant (tenants) activities within the property and even the type of decorating allowed. This way you can calculate the type of individuals to appeal to, and if they are outside of your current client base, create a strategy to attract a new clientele.
Property investing will always be a viable option for its relative passive source of income and ability to get mortgage financing against it. However given the significant cost outlays (even for just the equity portion), it is important that investors effectively analyse and assess the risks in order to reap the rewards.
At Onyx Property Consultants we can help you locate and evaluate the ideal investment property for your portfolio. Contact us today to set up a call and discuss your needs.

Ian Johnston (41) who earned the silver medal at last month's British Master Athletics Federation 10,000m Championships in Oxford, went one better at the Scottish equivalent by winning the Scottish Veteran Harriers' Andrew Forbes Memorial 10,000m track race held in Coatbridge on Sunday, October 18. The Shettleston Harrier's Scottish time was down by three and a half seconds from his British performance but still good enough to earn gold in 33:52, eight seconds ahead of Carnegie's Ian Stewart (52) who earned second place and a new PB with a time of 34:56. Hamilton's Andrew McLinden (58) also ran a personal best to claim third place with a time of 35:54.
In the women's race Clydesdale Harrier Marina McCallum (38) earned gold with a PB of 42:18, forty-one seconds ahead of Kirkintilloch Olympians Marie McChord (50) in second place with a PB of 42:59 and Ada Stewart (46) in third place.
Colin Feechan of Ronhill Cambuslang, who finished in sixth place with a PB of 36:36, told www.scottishrunningguide.com:
"I thought that this was an excellent race for vets of all ages whether they were going for a PB or just competing within their own age category, and it was exemplified by the camaraderie shown by fellow runners as they passed or were passed throughout the race during the 25 laps. The race was free and changing facilities and hot showers were provided, as were post race tea and biscuits and the customary SVHC snowballs. I'd recommend SVHC membership to all runners aged 35 and over."
Falkirk Victoria's Hugh McGinley (82) closed the race held in the 'Best Small City in Scotland' and hometown of Pat and Hugh Kane (Hue and Cry) finishing 35th with a time of 1:03:35.

A lot happens in the Waimakariri District!
On Saturday evening, Marilyn and I went to the Kaiapoi Cooperating Church to hear a triple-harp concert by Robin Ward. It was a most enjoyable recital and I left knowing a lot more about triple harps than did when I arrived! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_harp ). Robin is based these days in the UK, but is the grandson of the late Margaret and Lloyd Cleland, both prominent in the parish and in Kaiapoi civic life in past decades.
Yesterday, we went to a poetry recital by Leonard Lambert, Rangi Faith and Roger Hickin, and featuring musical interludes by Julia Holcroft (piano) and Keeneth Love ('cello), in the Chamber Gallery. Rangi is a Rangiora local. Again, an enjoyable experience sponsored through the Waimakariri Community Arts Council.

University of Texas Tailgate
Hook 'Em Horns
There are many things to be thankful for in the Fall and to many, it is football season and the annual rebirth of tailgating. Here in the South, we love a good tailgate and at Two Funny Girls, we think any chip, dip or cold beverage tastes better going down when served off something personalized.

The Longhorns are implementing a clear bag policy this year, but check out all of our tailgate ideas.

Fans will continue to be able to enjoy their tailgate activities in the parking lots and to do so with greater safety and the knowledge that their entry into the stadium will be smoother and faster.

Helene Nathan has been a WWOOF Host for 4 years and delights in her WWOOFers. Helene is about to farewell her latest volunteers and has asked us to share her story of their stay.
Pictured above with Helene are Bastian, along with his girlfriend Bettina, and her two sisters Sarah and Alexandra, who are from Austria and Ben is from the USA.
Their visit has been another absolute delight. Helene says her garden is just immaculate and the food Bastion loves to cook is the best food she has eaten! All are lovely, respectful and willing helpers who applied the skills they had learned at previous hosts to her garden with skill and care. All are great young people who are a joy to Host and fun to have around. This was Ben's first WWOOFing experience and he was lovely to have around.
Helene will miss their company but is looking forward to welcoming her next WWOOFer in a few days time.

However, he was surprised. This woman was not crying, and she most certainly was not afraid of Marley, or, he surmised, of anything. She held her protruding belly beneath one hand as she walked toward Marley, never releasing his stare.
Marley too was afraid of nothing, and though this moment made him uncomfortable, he refused to back away as she drew closer. When she came within a yard of Marley, she stopped and, with her other hand, reached behind her neck and unfastened a thin gold chain. Without ever moving her eyes, she held the necklace up between their faces. From it was suspended a single pearl, small but brilliant. Marley was momentarily startled as its translucence almost seemed to draw in light from the woman and reflect it outward.
"If I give you this, how many additional months would it buy us?" she asked with a firm defiance.
How an average woman such as this had come into possession of a gem this remarkable was beyond his imagination. Swiftly and silently he assayed the value of the tribute, deliberately stifling his facial expression from displaying his impression. He calculated the most conservative price the piece would command, most likely far below what he would be able to gain in negotiations. He calculated that in rent, and then halved that number of days. Then he halved it again. And again, and again. Finally, he halved it one more time.
"Three days," he replied coldly, never releasing her gaze and never raising a hand toward the pearl.
Cummings gasped, knowing that the value of the necklace was far more than a fraction of a month's rent. But his wife did not waver in her stare, or in her suspension of the necklace in Marley's line of sight.
"So be it, then—take it!" She did not move one inch to make it easier for Marley to grasp the necklace. With an only slightly perceptible regret in her voice, she said, "It was a gift from my brother."
Marley did not miss that minute fluctuation. Weakling, he thought. For a moment, he had actually admired her resolve.
He reached up and took the necklace, placing it in his coat pocket. With that, he removed a watch and, looking at it, said, "It is a quarter to two. At a quarter to two on Thursday, you need to be out. I will be here at that time. If you are not gone, I will return at a quarter past two with the constable. He will deal with you appropriately."
He tipped his hat incongruously to the couple he had just condemned, and then he stepped out into the cold.
As he walked to his carriage, he heard not a sound from the house—no wailing, no curses. Of course, had there been any, he would not have paid them any attention. He was oblivious to all such: the emotions, the pain, the concern. Oblivious to the final plea implicit in the simple comment that "it was a gift from my brother." Rather, he was rapidly calculating his gain on the necklace.
At twenty minutes before two on Thursday, Marley's carriage worked its way across the cobblestones to what, in five minutes' time, would be the previous home of the Cummings family. A loaded cart stood by the door, the husband emerging with a last item to be placed on the meager pile of their possessions.
The carriage driver leapt down, opened the door for Marley, and placed a step beneath it to help him out into the raw wind and driving mixture of sleet and snow. Marley stepped into the apartment, followed by Mr. Cummings, tipped his hat in the slightest possible manner, and then began speaking without bothering to look at the couple.
"I will inspect the house. Any damage done, filth left, or inconvenience created by remaining possessions will result in assessments. You will pay me before departing. Do you understand?"

With all of the talk recently on our blog about investments and buildings trading hands, we thought we'd provide some insight for our readers on how investors make a decision to build vs. buy. Over at the National Real Estate Investor website, we uncovered a great "quick and dirty" explanation and analysis of how replacement costs can be used as a basis for establishing the correct pricing for a building, essentially; if an investor could build the asset for a lower price, then why buy it?
"A basic principle of real estate economics holds that new development occurs only when rents justify the costs of development, including a reasonable return to compensate for development risks. This pressure to develop occurs at the point in the market cycle when demand exceeds existing supply such that market rents rise above replacement rents. Development then occurs until the excess demand is satisfied. Typically, the addition of new space to the market overshoots demand, causing vacancy to increase and putting downward pressure on rents. Market rents fall back below replacement rents, removing the incentive for additional new construction until demand again outpaces supply."
David Lynn, managing director and head of U.S. research and investment strategy with ING Clarion based in New York, the contributor for the article, gives a great apples to apples analysis for any asset, we look at this as a real investment 101.

In honor of the upcoming Labor Day weekend, I copied this from Rocks in My Dryer
How long were your labors?
Kid #1, from about 2:00am when I thought I just had gas to around 6:26am when Cutie Pie arrived
Kid #2, from when they started the Pitocin at 7:00am to 9:23am when Pot Pie was born
Kid #3, from about 11:00am when I was informed that there were two legs hanging out and Pumpkin Pie entered the world at 1:26pm
How did you know you were in labor?
Kid #1, severe pain...that I thought was gas...
Kid #2, when the Pitocin kicked in the severe pain that felt like gas...but this time I knew what it was.
Kid #3, the nurses told me I was...
Where did you deliver?
Kid #1, Claremore Regional
Kid #2, Claremore Regional
Kid #3, St John
Kid #1, nope...labored mostly at home and got to the hospital too late
Kid #2, figured I did it just fine without the epidural the first time and decided I could do it without it.
Kid #2, Yes...my first epidural. He was breach.
Almost, with Kid #3...he was breach, but then an ultrasound showed he was in the perfect position to just slide out, feet first, with his hands over his head and umbilical cord swung over his shoulder. That's what happens when you give birth to a 1 pound, 6 ounce baby...
Who delivered?
Kid #1, Dr. Knifechief...at the time he wasn't my doctor, but he was on call that night. When he told me to push, I pushed as hard as I thought I could, and he said in what I thought was a condescending voice, "You're going to have to push better than that..."
Kid #2, Dr. Knifechief...this time, I chose him as my doc. They started the Pitocin and he ran to get coffee, but he didn't quite make it and had to come back so I could deliver.
Kid #3, Dr. Stewart...again, not my doctor, but when your water breaks at 22 weeks, they bring in the experts. He's an amazing paranatologist, and if I were to do it again, he's the only one I would trust.
But I'm not doing it again.
Ever. Period.
If you want to play along with this meme, just cut and paste the questions into your own blog, and leave a comment so we can find you!

Are you fed up of working hard and getting nowhere with you blog? Do you get disillusioned when you check your analytics and no one is reading your amazing content? Are you frustrated when others seem to be building a list of subscribers and earning money from their blog and you're not?
Don't despair, help is at hand…
Would you love to start a brand new blogging business and have it working for you in just a week? That would be amazing right? Well you can achieve exactly that if you come and work with me…
In just one week we will cover these essential basics:
These are the basic elements that you need to get right in your blog before you can expect your blog to gain subscribers or start making any money for you.
Unfortunately most people spend years trying to get this all figured out and then they give up on their blog altogether because they think it's not working.
Whether you want to use your blog to sell your crafts online, or you want to be able to coach and support others; I can help you to get it to the point where your blog is reaching hundreds of people, collecting email addresses and subscribers and responding to these new leads all in just one week and all pretty much on auto-pilot!
Check out some of my testimonials
Interested? You'd be mad not to be!
This is one to one mentoring, I will work with you; and for you to achieve these results. I offer a one stop solution that will save you thousands of pounds, and months of work trying to figure it all out for yourself.
I also offer all this for an unbelievable price. I have included some conservative costings in brackets which you can go and check for yourself. These prices are based on local services in the UK (West Midlands area).
Who is this not for?
Who is this most definitely for?
Okay, are you ready to work with me?
This is how your week will pan out:
We will work on your branding. To get noticed online you have to appear consistently and branding helps enormously with this. If you already have your branding done then I will show you how to use it in your social media. (Typical cost for branding from £400)
We will work on creating a hook and a lead magnet for your website and social media so that when these go live you can attract leads and customers from day one. (Typical cost from £200)
We will create your website using the branding and the hook and lead magnet that we worked on the last couple of days. If you already have a website I will make sure it is using your branding effectively, that it is GDPR compliant and has all the legal stuff on it that you need to operate websites today. I will also show you how to monetise your website by using your blog. (If you would like to start your website beforehand then I have created a step by step tutorial that you can download here) (Typical cost for someone to build your website from £800 + ongoing maintenance and hosting charge)
We will work on your social media presence. To get traffic to your website you are going to need a referral system (unless you wish to pay for traffic which is something we can discuss on the day). We will work on creating you a Facebook Page, a Linkedin Profile (or update your current one), create a Pinterest account and discuss other options for where your ideal customer might be hanging out online. (Typical cost from £2,000 for agency fees usually with a minimum ad spend)
We will set up your auto-responder so that you can respond to leads promptly and on auto-pilot. I will also help you to create your email series.
We will create a sales funnel for your business. This will lead your customers through a buying process which will start with your freebie (which we will decide on and create) and lead them to the next most expensive item and then the next until they are buying your most expensive item. I will also show you how to package and bundle items to make more expensive sales options. (typical cost from £250 per hour – so £1,500 for 6 hours)
You will also receive bonus tutorials such as how to monetise your blog by using different strategies and how to create amazing content for your social media and blog posts.
As you can see, the cost of hiring each professional separately is around £4,900, and then of course you have to go back to them every time you need to make a change. This will be at an additional cost to you.
I will teach you how to do all this for yourself so that it is a ONE TIME cost rather than a recurring one.
I will also introduce you to some amazing free (or very reasonably priced) tools and apps that will help you in your business so that you can automate it as much as possible.
How much does it cost?
I have shown you (and I hope you have researched it and confirmed) that you can probably expect to pay over £5,000 to get these services individually – and it will still take you months to figure out how to put them all together to make your blogging business actually work for you.
You can work with me and have a blog that is working in just one week if you are wiling to invest just £2,000 in your blog and it's success. That's just £400 per day! You can pay over £200 per hour just for coaching – and then you have to go and figure out how to do it all yourself!
Why just £2,000?
My whole business has been built around helping new and small businesses to grow and develop and I know that budgets are tight. I also know that time is an extremely valuable commodity when you are a new blog owner as you are expected to be doing several things at once, and learn several things at once.
I want to be able to help you to get your blog up and running and working for you in as short a time as possible and for as little an outlay as possible hence my pricing.
I believe in a fair days pay for a fair days work and I hope that I have demonstrated this in my pricing of this offer.
Limited places
Obviously I have limited places available for this offer (Just 2 per month) so please don't delay in contacting me if you are interested in working with me as I would hate for you to be disappointed and have to wait a month or two longer to get started.
The offer is also limited to those who have at least a basic understanding of IT as you will be working with me over Skype (or Zoom) and will need to know how to do a few things yourself.
If this option is not possible for you but you would still be interested in working me, I have some amazing online mentoring programmes that you can take a look at:

Are you aware that, as a human being, you have an immense power? Have you ever thought about the wonderful things your brain can do? Do you believe in the fact that you can boost your brain into attracting anything you want out of life? We, humans, are amazing. We are all very different and, by being unique, we are powerful. We are the ones responsible of changing our lives. Even though we think that we can't change anything, we can. And we can do it just by changing our mindsets.
That being said, it is important that we understand that we are able to live the life we want. We just need to learn to focus our minds and transform our thoughts. Studies have shown that we don't use our brains to our full extent. However, you can increase the capacity of your brain just by learning the proper techniques and methods to do it. This means that, if you practice some easy exercises, you can change and improve any area of your life. Whatever you want, you can achieve it just by thinking well.
At this point you may be thinking that this is something very difficult to do and that it is very time consuming. And you are right, it can be a long process. However, if you follow the right methods and techniques, you won't have to spend a lot of time working on your mind. Just by learning how to meditate properly you will not have to do it for so much time. There are modern techniques designed for you to program your mind and increase your brain capacity. So, if you follow the right program, you will be able to rewire your brain and, therefore, achieve every goal you set in life. Why? simple. Because you will lower your stress levels, boost your energy levels and confidence and increase your IQ. Everything is possible for a well trained mind. This is a secret well known by the elite of successful men and women out there. These people know and truly believe they are capable of everything, thus, they fulfill every goal they set for themselves.
I know that you are skeptical at this moment. I was too. When I found this information I was kind of lost in life. I used to think i was useless since everything around me was falling apart and, no matter how hard I tried, nothing seemed to go my way. I was desperate. A friend of mine kept talking about a wonderful and amazing program that helped you change the way you think and, therefore, improve your life. I thought this was scam and that it was impossible to change your life just by meditating. However, I was so hopeless that I decided to make this step. And, even though at first I didn't really believe in it, I benefited almost immediately from just performing some simple mind techniques. I started feeling more positive and, therefore, good things started to happen. That's what kept me going through the whole program. And I'm really glad I did. Today I am a confident person who can achieve every goal out there. I'm not going bore you with details about my life but I will sum it up: I'm now married, I have started my own business (which is doing amazing) and I have a beautiful house. I have a totally different outlook to life and today I want to share with you some information regarding the program that changed my life.
So, if you are intrigued, please continue reading the HeadLeap review. I truly believe that anyone out there can benefit from this program.
What is HeadLeap ?
First, let me tell you that your brain is always busy. It is almost impossible to turn it of. Even when you are asleep, your brain continues to work nonstop. That's what makes it so difficult for us to master our brain. It is so powerful that it is very difficult to train it. If you buy HeadLeap, you will learn how to make your brain work the way it should work for you to attract those things you want out of life.
This program works by rewiring the way you think. Experts know that the activity of our brainwaves can improve the way we live. That's why scientists have classified these waves into different states of mind and awareness. For example, when your brain is working somewhere in between fifteen and thirty hertz, you are totally awake and using your brain to an extent that is connected with anxiety. However, when you are at four to eight hertz, you are creative, motivated and focus. There is also another brainwave which is relaxed meditation. So, by learning how to control this waves by yourself, you will be able to rewire your mindset within just a few weeks of following and performing some simple exercises that last about twenty minutes per day. Believe me, just a short meditation a day is equal to two hours of sleep which will not only help you change the way you think but it will also relax your brain and boost your energy levels right away.
Why should you download HeadLeap?
So, as I mentioned before, this program helps you to use and combine frequencies for you to learn how to rewire your brain. You will stimulate your thoughts and, therefore, become an overachiever. Just by listening to the audios and meditating you will be able to perform a dramatic change into your life. So, it is really up to you if you continue to be unhappy or if you decide to take a big step into a fulfilled life and a powerful brain.
To sum it up!
You have the power to change your life. You are responsible of living the life of your dreams. So, why don't you do it? Don't waste a minute more. You are not getting any younger and life is all about enjoying. So go ahead, order HeadLeap now and start enjoying life as you should. Believe me, you won't regret it.

FC Beacons Bottom 1 v Wycombe Town FC 3Micheal 'Butch' Butcher scored a hatrick in 'Towns' first league game for two months. Playing an improving Beacons Bottom side, 'Town' went in at half time 2-1 up after a frustrating first half but dominated the second half with attacking football but could only score one more goal, being thwarted by a resilient 'Beacons' defence, but it was enough to maintain 'Towns' top spot in the Premier Division!
Wycombe Town Res. 1 v Naphill Mens FC 1
'Town' Reserves also maintained their top spot in division 2 after a 1-1 draw with Naphill Mens FC, in a close game where 'Town' never really found their form, Alex McLay scored 'Towns' only goal with a great header.

Kypreos: Ristolainen still has potential with the Sabres
Sportsnet's Nick Kypreos joined Howard and Jeremy on Wednesday with the latest on Rasmus Ristolainen
With the Stanley Cup Final ending last week, the action around the NHL trade market has been starting to heat up over the past few days.
Some teams have already started to make trades to improve their roster for the upcoming season, with some notable players like defensemen Jacob Trouba, Matt Niskanen and Justin Braun, as well as forward Kevin Hayes all on the move.
After a disappointing end to the 2018-19 season, the Buffalo Sabres are likely to be a team that will undergo some changes moving forward. Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman wrote in his 31 Thoughts blog on Saturday that the Sabres were among the more active teams talking trades around the league.
Rumors have picked up surrounding the idea of the Sabres trading long-time defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen. Pierre LeBrun reported in The Athletic on Tuesday that Tampa Bay Lightning general manager Julien BriseBois is believed to have interest in acquiring Ristolainen. Rick Dhaliwal from Sportsnet 650 in Vancouver reported on Tuesday that the Canucks seem to be talking with Buffalo about a defensmen, and mentions Ristolainen as a possible trade candidate.

Sportsnet's Nick Kypreos joined Howard Simon and Jeremy White on Wednesday with his thoughts on the Sabres and the possibility of moving on from Ristolainen. However, it is his belief that it is not a foregone conclusion that Ristolainen is on his way out, especially after the hiring of head coach Ralph Krueger.
"I think when Ralph Krueger came in, I think it slowed down the process," Kypreos said. "Now that's not to say that eventually Buffalo will get an offer they can't refuse. There's also intrigue that Ristolainen is one of these young, up and coming stars… maybe Ralph Krueger wants to see what he has first before moving forward."
Whether the Sabres are looking to move Ristolainen or another blueliner, as Dhaliwal suggested for Vancouver, Kypreos made it evident that the Sabres want to move a defenseman in a trade. However, Kypreos did not know whether Ristolainen would be moved by September or October.
However, Kypreos did go as far to say Ristolainen, the six-year veteran, still has potential; citing him as a gifted defenseman that are usually hard to come by.
"He's got the potential," Kypreos said. "There's everything there that you'd want in a top-two guy. There's also that mean streak that unfortunately isn't as consistent a people would like. He is one of those special defenseman that don't come around very often."
Heading into the offseason, the Sabres are projected to have some substantial cap space available to them to mold together a roster for the 2019-2020 season. According to CapFriendly, the Sabres will have a little more than $20.415 million available to work with. However, there is the possibility that the Sabres will make some additional moves to try and free up some more space.
Kypreos said the Sabres' focus in free agency may be upgrading a defensive core that includes Rasmus Dahlin and Lawrence Pilut amongst others.
"Could they add a great skater on the blue line? With [San Jose Sharks defenseman Erik> Karlsson gone, it goes to the next wave," Kypreos said. "Jake Gardiner is here in Toronto and everybody believes that he's now out-priced … perhaps Buffalo may be a fit."

Best Medicare Advantage Plans in California 2019
The benefit of choosing an Advantage plan over many other types of medical insurance plans is that Advantage plans often come with zero monthly premium. Because that kind of insurance plans has so much potential to save seniors money, we are going to cover some specifics about the best Medicare Advantage plans for California for 2019.
These are plans that are only available to seniors. And those that have turned 65 or are about to turn 65 are typically eligible for these plans. They replace your existing basic Medicare plan, if you have that coverage plan. They are sold through private insurers, and that gives you lots of options as far as coverage and pricing goes. You have freedom to choose a plan that suits you well.
We mentioned that Advantage plans often have no monthly premium, but there is a tradeoff for that benefit. You typically have large out of pocket maximums each year, which can reach several thousand dollars. How much those costs are will depend on the kind of Advantage plan you choose and the insurance provider you pick to purchase the plan from.
Advantage plans cover numerous outpatient and inpatient costs, including doctor's office visits, hospital stays, blood use, laboratory testing, medications and more. These are all covered by every basic Advantage plan, but many of them offer so much more than that.
A given Advantage plan may cover you for checkups, such as for your hearing or for your vision, as well as for prescription items related to those checkups. That can include eyeglasses and hearing aids.
In a lot of cases, Medicare Advantage plans (also known as Medicare Part C) can cover a part of mediocre known as Part D. This includes a lot of prescription drug expenses, and how relevant this coverage is to you will depend not only on your prescription drug needs but also on which Part D plan you get. Each insurance company has their own versions of Part D, so you will want to compare them carefully to ensure you are getting a relevant plan.
Medicare Advantage in California
You can choose from one of dozens of different medical insurance providers in California to buy your Advantage plan from. Each of them usually offers a few different plans, and one way to tell if a specific plan is better than another is to check their Medicare star rating. This rating system is run by Medicare and evaluates the insurance provider and their plans based on a few different factors- the value they offer to the customer, the price of the plan, the range of the network and more. The best of these plans would be ones that are rated as five stars, but that is fairly rare to find. Even a four-star plan is considered very good, though, and it is a good indicator of how worthwhile the coverage plan is.
For the best Medicare Advantage plans in California for 2019, you should consider the star rating. You also need to individually compare prices, which you can do on our website. This is a free service that we offer that lets you see the rates for a few different plans all at once. There is no easier way to compare prices and find a good deal.
National insurance providers like Humana, Aetna, AARP and CIGNA operate in California, and most of them have some highly rated plans. You can also find smaller, locally owned providers, such as Imperial Heath Plan of California and Fresenius Heath Plans. The smaller companies tend to have smaller networks, which tells you which medical facilities and pharmacies will accept their plans.
Coverage on the Network
It's important to talk about insurance providers' network when we are discussing Medicare Advantage. This plays a large role in determining how well a plan will cover you and if you need to find another insurance provider or not depending on your location.
Every insurance company has their own network, and that network can change every so often as more medical facilities are added to or removed from the network. If you go to a medical facility on your insurance company's network, then you are fully covered no matter what kind of plan you bought from them. However, if you go off the network for whatever reason and receive medical care, then your coverage may not be there. You can opt for a PPO plan, which will cover you off the network, but you will pay more for this than for other options. This is something you might want to consider if you like a certain insurance company's plans but there is no medical facility on their network around you.
More commonly, people choose HMOs, which are relatively cheap coverage options but only cover people on the network. Go outside the network for medical care with one of these and you receive no coverage whatsoever, unless you were taken there for emergency treatment.
It is important to consider the network before you sign up for any coverage plan. The coverage is really only as good as the network, and it doesn't make sense to buy a discounted Advantage plan when there is no medical facility near you that will accept it. Keep that in mind as you are searching for the best coverage plan for your needs.
There are additional network types available in some instances, but those are not as widely available as HMOs and PPOs. You'll have to look up individual options with each insurance company, and you can see what they are offering and how much they are charging by using our website and the search tool we have provided here.
It is recommended that you take your time in choosing an Advantage plan. The best Medicare Advantage plans in California for 2019 can potentially save you a lot on medical care over the coming year, but you have to consider your choices and compare them to what your needs are in order to find the right one.
