text: Plumb is plumb -- and out of plumb is out of plumb. Until Jim Peterman and No Problem Builders lifted and leveled the NE corner of the house, the floor joists sat on this make-shift 4 x 6 beam system exactly as it's seen here that was installed sometime in the 1970's. This photo shows just how high the house needed to be lifted before new brick piers could be put in place. When No Problem Builders broke away the concrete block below the sills around the perimeter of the house, they found no concrete foundation. This meant that as the concrete blocks sank, the house sank with it. Had this condition been left unchecked, the movement would have eventually twisted the house and pulled it down.

the Frontline Insights Platform
Data-Driven Solutions to Attract, Engage, Grow & Retain Top Talent
Hiring – and holding on to – top talent continues to be one of the greatest challenges facing school systems today. While teachers are leaving the field, fewer and fewer are taking their place. And everyone in the organization is tasked with doing more with less.
With limited time, resources and funding, addressing these challenges requires collaboration across every department in the district. And it requires a strategic, data-driven approach to attracting, engaging, growing and retaining K-12 talent. That's why we've created the Frontline Insights Platform.
What is the Frontline Insights Platform?
The Frontline Insights Platform is our answer to the need for one system for K-12 that can help you attract, engage, grow and retain your educators – the greatest single impact on student learning.
By bringing critical technologies together, we're providing on-demand, actionable insights to support educator growth and improved student outcomes.
Built on a comprehensive set of solutions, the Insights Platform reduces administrative workload while supporting data-driven decisions aligned to district goals and strategic objectives.
Our Solutions:
- Frontline Central (Manage people without the paperwork)
- Frontline Recruiting & Hiring (Bring the best people into your district quickly)
- Frontline Absence & Time (Get the whole picture of employee attendance)
- Frontline Professional Growth (Support the complete cycle of educator growth)
- Frontline Special Ed & Interventions (Streamline administration to support improved outcomes for all students)
We're laying the groundwork for a completely connected set of solutions for K-12, and many of our solutions already include this enhanced functionality.
Identity Management
Save time and protect your employee information with a unified approach to managing basic employee information that includes a single ID for many of your Frontline solutions. Reduce all those user names and passwords!
SOC2-Compliant Security
Your employee data should be just as secure as your student data — that's why we maintain a FERPA-compliant security policy that's industry-leading for K-12 employee information.
Mobile Access
Access key functions of your Frontline solutions on the go, right from the convenience of your phone.Learn more about our mobile app
Common UI & Navigation
From a common user interface (think colors and branding) to consistent navigation, we're making it easier than ever to move seamlessly across the Frontline solutions.
Role-based dashboards provide quick and easy access to operational insights, while the embedded Institute Report shows your data side-by-side with validated data from other districts nationwide, in your state or of similar locale.
Course Libraries
Access compliance and professional growth courses that provide crucial learning for employees and are fully-SCORM compliant.
In their own words…
"Connected systems help us have a broader view of who we are as a school district and how we interact and interrelate with each other. It brings our professional learning, our curriculum instruction and our hiring and recruiting processes together. Ultimately, all of those play a part in student achievement. Now, we have that data available and that data is connected. It provides a much richer conversation and ultimately leads to better instruction and better learning experiences for our kids."

On Monday the MA course in Visual Communication at BIAD played host to Ben Waddington—design archeologist, historian and storyteller—who took the opportunity to open up some of the thinking behind the Re:Sleeves project. Ben has an incredible ability to take observations, details, coincidences, and to weave them into cohesive narratives which navigate their way through a landscape of shaky evidence and solid insights. The "lies in service of the truth", if you like. (Actually, Michael Haneke is a good reference point, as Ben's approach reminds me of that of the 'unreliable narrator' who talks us through Haneke's magnificently truthful film The White Ribbon.)
Ben's lecture is now available here as a special 'extra' edition of Re:Sleeves, along with a PDF of the presentation slides that you can listen along to if you're so inclined. It'll be hitting the regular Futurilla Radio feed soon.

Okay, I get it – it's like religion... Microsoft worshippers versus Apple zealots. I'll be hated by many and this post is commercial suicide as I'm sure it will result in me never being engaged by the world's largest software company. Will they 'black list' and sue me; or will they seek to save me? If only I had the passion of Steve Ballmer; maybe I could keep the faith.
If you've ever wondered about the relevance and power of social media in business to business selling, then read on. Bill Gates is a wonderful human being, a genuine philanthropist, and he has changed the world in many ways through computing along with Thomas Watson, Tim Berners-Lee and Steve Jobs. But much of Microsoft's software is, for me, from the pits of CX (Customer eXperience) hell. It's not just that they beta test their software on their customers and endlessly change the user interface for no good reason [in my view]; it's their inability to provide an acceptable customer experience that is killing them. At the end of this case study I will contrast their hell with my unbelievably consistently spectacular heavenly experience with Apple. What a contrast – 'Dumb and Dumber customer service' vs 'Ninja Samurai customer experience'. Have a laugh with this video before I have my rant and go dark.
I worked for decades at senior levels in the software industry and I know some of its secrets. If you knew the complexity of software coding, the different standards and programming languages, operating system inter-dependencies, the madness of managing the different types of memory, the massive numbers of bugs in all code – you would be in awe of the way your computer actually works when you turn it on. This is why I was so concerned about the Airbus 'software rules the skies' philosophy of flight control law and this is why I wrote about what the Air Crash Investigations did not reveal about Flight QF32.
Back to Microsoft. Up until August 2012 I was always supported by an array of IT people working for me in the companies I led. I could log a ticket or phone the internal help desk and they would turn-up at my office door to then tap away working their magic to resolve my problems. I never ran much software or downloaded any non-approved applications – just the SOE (Standard Operating Environment). But when I would ask them about what caused the problem, they would inevitably scratch their head and say: "Not really sure – I haven't seen that problem before. You're barely utilizing the machines resources. It should be okay now.'
For most of my life, I begrudgingly endured the 37 minutes of waiting to close down as 43 updates were downloaded when I tried to leave work to go home and see my family. I would tolerate the same crap turning-off and restarting at airports as I traveled for business. I would pay hundreds of dollars to support people to come to my home and reinstall my printer drivers or get my wireless connectivity going again when everything crapped itself after some auto-update ran without me even knowing, mysteriously blowing away the drivers. I would spend hours trying to deal with the insanity of never being able to properly disable Track Changes in Word and the endless alterations to menu structures for everyday office productivity applications such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint. I've endured losing hours of work because I stupidly did not save before Windows shat itself. I lived with the frustrations of e-mail crashing constantly because of the size of my PST file – no archiving capabilities and good luck easily finding anything later if you did. I even put up with Clippy with his annoying prompts in Office 97.
As the regional leader of software companies that integrated with Microsoft products, I would receive calls and e-mails from furious customers (law firms, massive enterprises and government departments) who would have our integration break due to 'changes' within new releases of Microsoft products. We would be expected to fix the problem even though we did not cause it and nothing had changed within the code on our side. I lived through the insanity of Vista and over-empty hype of early releases of SharePoint. Even when Microsoft bought my beloved Skype they managed to introduce mysterious back-end hacks where people's accounts were compromised and they were forced to lose their credits and create a new Skype ID; all because they could not remember the date they first created their Skype account.
I could have made a long list of bullet-points in PowerPoint… but using bullet-points might have made me want to put a gun in my mouth – it triggers such negative emotion. Microsoft spends so much on marketing, yet customer service [experience] has been resurrected as the new sales strategy. Providing a consistently great customer experience is the most powerful lead generation model. An inability to get it right is the reason for any leaky funnel. Microsoft themselves are the demand generation engine for their competitors and social media is empowering everyday customers in terrifying ways for monolithic brands that are unable to be agile and responsive.
I'm about to tell you why I switched to a competitor and this is free advertising for them. Just in the last 8 weeks I've had more than 300,000 reads of my LinkedIn blog and more than 5,000 people follow me in LinkedIn who regularly feature me in Pulse feeds to millions. I have people constantly ask me whether social selling is relevant… if you read this and don't understand; I'm not sure what else to tell you.
The promise of software and IT is so alluring yet the experience often plunges us into the trough of disillusionment. Thank goodness the industry is changing with cloud and software as a service! No wonder Gmail and Google Docs are doing so well. Yes, I tried to download Office 365… that did not work for me either – I must just be stupid. Maybe it was the fact that in this region a telco was the exclusive sales channel – a telco trying to provide a good online experience; think 'the blind leading the deaf'.
Back in 2008 Microsoft ran a global marketing campaign asking: "Where do you want to go today?" When I went out on my own in business in late 2012 I decided to answer the question – straight to an Apple store!
I banished Microsoft from my life wherever possible, my business and household, phones – everything. All I retained was Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
So, what sparked this rant? I'll give you the short version. My son starts university this year and he bought a new MacBook Pro after I convinced him to ditch the old Windows laptop his school had provided. He wants to Use Word, Excel and PowerPoint in university and we own properly purchased licensing of Office for Mac. But his MacBook Pro does not have a CD drive and I decided to download Office from Microsoft's website and use the valid license key on the box. It was massively difficult to find a download page on Microsoft's website because all they seem to cater for is selling to you. But I eventually found support and by some miracle ended-up in live chat with a very good support person. Fast, helpful, brilliant. Wow, Microsoft has changed, I thought. I gave him my license key and he quickly confirmed it was valid and then gave me a link to the download page. I tried to download but the license key was rejected (yes, I triple checked I was keying the correct numbers). Back to support and another chat session. On this occasion it was incredibly frustrating – a dead-end with every request for assistance. Instead of resolution, I was told to phone the support number in business hours the next day or click online and agree to pay almost $50. I've had many experiences phoning Microsoft support previously and on every occasion it's made my head explode.
90 minutes later and with much higher blood pressure, I gave up in disgust after advising the support person that I would be writing this post (don't blame her Microsoft – she did her best). But then I thought: I wonder if I can use the CD drive in our family iMac computer to install the software over wifi to my son's machine? I turned the iMac on and it booted within seconds. I clicked on Finder in my son's machine… "Yes!" There was our family iMac appearing in my son's Macbook. I clicked the icon, then clicked the button to request to use its drive. That request appeared instantly on the iMac screen on the machine beside – I clicked to approve. I then loaded the 'Office for Mac' CD and the install happened wirelessly as easily as an Apple product. The license key was accepted and then, as with all Microsoft installs, it did the usual 20 minutes of patches and updates from the Microsoft site. All done.
Microsoft seem committed to repelling me as a customer with poor software design, constantly changing the user interface for no good reason (in my mind), and providing appallingly poor service at every level.
I converted my IT religion in August 2012 after an entire lifetime attending Microsoft church. Incumbency can be powerful for creating loyalty – habits die hard and change is usually avoided. But Microsoft still managed to lose me after decades of loyalty. I was finished with praying to the IT gods for the 'angel of blue screen death' to pass over and descend on someone else.
Change always brings fear and uncertainty and before the switch I remember asking a colleague: "I'm thinking of making the switch. I think I've had enough of the endless productivity-destroying frustrations of Windows. Can you give me six reasons why the pain of change is worth it – why should I switch?" He said: "You only need one reason, not six." He closed the lid of his MacBook, lifted it off the desk, the magnetic power connection fell away elegantly and he then said: "I'm ready to go home." Then he sat back down and opened the lid: "I'm ready to work. You only need one reason mate and that's it – no endless rebooting and it always just works. The operating system is bullet proof. The better screen and performance is a bonus. You'll get used to the different navigation." Thanks Adrian Rudman.
I love being an Apple customer. Any time I've had an issue (which is rare) they've provide rapid, intelligent, friendly and effective support – online, on the phone, or at a Genius Bar in a store. As an example, I bought a new MacBook Air last year and while I was in Vietnam recently the power supply developed a fault and would not allow me to charge my computer. Yesterday, I walked into the Apple Store in Sydney without an appointment and it was packed – the busiest I've seen them. I walked up to level two and was served within 20 seconds. The person directed me up to level 3 where 7 people were lined-up waiting to be directed to the appropriate area. 4 minutes later I was asked to stand in a line. 2 minutes later I was being served. I explained the situation and produced my receipt. The person checked that the unit was indeed not working, completed a simple form on their iPad and spun it around for me to sign on screen. No tricky warranty caveats about chords or power adaptors. 3 minutes later I was walking out of the store and down the street with a brand new free charging unit. Even in the busiest of times I received outstanding customer service – friendly, efficient, superb. The receipt from today is below to show this is a true story.
I wonder if Microsoft will contact me as a result of this post. Will they seek to bring the apostate back into the fold – or will they threaten me for damaging their brand? Will it be a lawyer or a customer experience empathiser who contacts me? My bet is that nobody will bother. I'll let you know but if it's a lawyer, I'll be sending them an invoice for all the hours of my time they've wasted over the years with software problems and crappy support.
Lastly, a special mention to Adobe for being second-worst experience on the planet with their software… I swear someone there has a big annual bonus attached to a KPI metric for: Most number of software updates per customer per month. Their annual bonus must be huge! If you write software, please obsess about customer experience rather than jam-packing as many features as possible into every screen and menu. At least watching this video made me smile again.
How can Microsoft save themselves from self-immolation with their loyal customers? Now it's over to you.

A chest of drawers occupies most of Moya McKenna's painting A parting (2007). It is an object which has consistently appeared in her work, shifting between bedroom furniture and studio prop, at once a functional base for other objects but also – in a way that is difficult to pin down – the container of secrets. In A parting we view the chest of drawers from behind. An open drawer bears the painting's central enigmatic form, and just as the drawer suggests the opening of a mouth, this strange form is like a single eye which looks back towards us. Although the painting is bathed in yellow light – and anyone who has visited McKenna's Northcote studio can attest to the distinctive light of her studio – it does not approach the lyrical. Its mood is claustrophobic . Those objects compressed into a shallow space press towards us as we sort out the painting's imaginary space. The meeting of yellows and blacks, and the interplay of raking light and deep shadows, make for a space of anxiety, where air assumes the thickness of paint.
A parting emerged through a practice which is common among artists, and perhaps especially painters: a work swap. McKenna and the Melbourne painter Bradd Westmoreland, who occupies a studio only a few blocks from McKenna's, exchanged works, and then each produced a work conceived as a response to the work each had acquired. A parting is McKenna's response to Sanctuary, the Westmoreland painting she acquired. The exchange is emblematic of the way images and ideas circulate amongst artists, a convivial and generous tradition which represents something of the utopian dimensions of the tradition of the profession of the artist. McKenna's work itself curiously bears the mark of these origins: the blue "pupil" and pink "iris" in the painting are colours characteristic of Westmoreland's palette, and alien to McKenna's. The eye which looks back out of the drawer becomes the presence of another within the painting.
McKenna makes a painting in a single day. She does not return to a painting the next day or the following week. This is an article of faith. It is also part of the distinctive appearance of her work. Those oily surfaces – which often remind me of the look and charge of Phillip Guston's figurative paintings – emerge through working wet into wet. They are of one extended moment – the encounter on one day between the artist and the picture, the light of that encounter, its particular speed, its mood – always articulated through paint, the meeting of one gesture and another, one colour and another.
McKenna's painting A parting might be examined in relation to the same three-way encounter. We are conscious of the painting responding to a particular set of conditions in the studio, and this response is manifested in one session of painting. The work is "an event", to use Rosenberg's words. But the work also grapples with pre-existing pictorial languages. Firstly, it grapples with McKenna's own pictorial language, which has developed through a body of paintings (and super 8 film works) depicting a limited number of props and objects, exploring a certain kind of compressed interior space. Secondly, it relies on a collective history of images, and especially a history of paintings, which is the field into which the work is cast but also that which makes the work intelligible, which gives the work its richness. In the case of A parting this linkage to other paintings, implicit in any painting, is exaggerated by the work's relationship to Westmoreland's painting. The central and uncanny form in A parting is precisely the presence of one painting within another. It looks back at us, and marks the encounter with the painting as absorbing, even all-engulfing, but always linked to chains of other images.

Published at Thursday, September 19th, 2019 - 09:29:31 AM. Vanity. By Maslin Ducharme.
If you are on a very limited budget and you cannot afford oak or teak wood vanities, you can try out the particle board vanities. You can also try out the ones that have a wood finish. Although, most people will be able to distinguish between particle board and wood, you will still get the elegance and durability that you desire. Check out some good designs on the internet.
The bathroom vanity top sinks are to be selected with great understanding of the design. The bathroom vanity tops are also called as the bathroom vanity top sinks. The top material can be made out of concrete, ceramic, wood, and other materials. Concrete vanity tops are good to look at, but they are very heavy. Also, you need to take special care for their maintenance. For at traditional and durable look, you can opt for the ceramic vanity tops.

Surveyor Notes:

- In very good used condition: minor wear noted, door hinge of wall corner needs replacing, bottom drawer on fridge needs replacing (available on Amazon)
Removal Notes:
Granite/Quartz/Marble – Whilst every attempt will be made to successfully remove stone worktops without damage, this is not always possible. Therefore, pieces of granite with 'cut outs' eg Sinks, Hobs etc cannot be guaranteed. Likewise stone back splashes, upstands and window sills are also not guaranteed. These pieces will be given to the buyer free of charge if successfully removed and are therefore not included in the overall sales price. Breakages are rare, but sometimes unavoidable, but most cases the worktop can be fixed with an epoxy adhesive by yourself or through a local granite Supplier.
Corian – Corian is a specialist worktop. The beauty of Corian is all joins are invisible. When Corian is installed it comes into the property in pieces and the joins are 'blended' to become invisible. Once joined, it becomes 1 large piece. In order to remove and transport a Corian worktop it is normal to expect this to be cut – this is often necessary due to the sizes/shapes/weight of the pieces. During removal, the joiner will assess the best place to cut – to reinstall, a Corian expert will be required. It is worth noting that it is normally possible to 'add' to a corian worktop if required.
Laminate worktops – Removal of a Laminate worktop will nearly always result in un-repairable damage to the laminates surface. Therefore, Laminate worktops are always excluded from any sale
Kitchen reconfiguration – Please consider that if the configuration of the kitchen is to be changed, end panels, kick boards/plinths, decorative trims etc may not re reusable because of their size, cut outs, fading, screw holes etc.
Painted Kitchens – Often painted kitchens are painted once installed, this means that during removal painted finishes may be chipped. It is reasonable to expect some touch up painting once your kitchen is re-installed.
Appliances – Whilst the listing above includes description of the appliances ,we strongly recommend that all appliances have an electrical and/or gas safety check, by a qualified electrical and/ or gas Safe registered engineer as appropriate. Electrical goods need to be checked to confirm that the plug, socket or adapter supplied complies with the appropriate current regulations.
Cleaning – Please be aware that this kitchen is advertised as 'Used'; it is therefore reasonable to expect some additional cleaning and possibly some minor repairs when refitting.
Plastic Cabinet Legs – These are the unseen adjustable supports for cabinets, normally hidden by the kick-boards. Unfortunately, these can be broken during the removal process. These are easy and very inexpensive to replace. Readily available at B&Q or Screwfix.

Six weeks ago I signed up for an introductory Lindy Hop class. Lindy Hop is similar to Swing Dancing. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I've been dancing in Seattle on Sunday nights and occasionally on Wednesdays. The next session is starting, and I'm thinking of signing up for the next level. I would like to continue learning, and my repertoire of moves could certainly do well to expand, but I'm going to be gone for the second and third lessons in a series of five. I missed two non-consecutive lessons in Lindy 1, and I was able to catch up, but it was difficult.
Lindy 2 is more about learning new moves than learning the basic steps, which was the focus of Lindy 1, so I won't be "behind" in the same sense as I was then, but there's still a 3 week gap between the lessons. I guess i'm just going to have to get over my fear of being out of practice and looking like an idoit: I might as well, since I'm sure the latter will happen no matter what I do. I can always re-take Lindy 2 a couple of times, which is the way the class was designed to be taken, so says the website. The moves they cover must vary from class to class, and the focus is on becoming a better lead/follow, which takes lots of practice.
I'll just have to lower my expectations from "being instantly perfect at everything I do" to "getting in some good practice."

Instantly good, like water skiing successfully on your first try? How long did it take me? Several trips to lakes over a number of years. Somehow I still found it fun, and I had to try a lot before I succeeded!ReplyDelete
You're doing well with lindy, I think at this point it just takes doing it a lot to get into the "groove" of things . . . oh, and try not to throw your partner on the floor. :-P (okay, you didn't throw me on the floor, you just scartled (that's a new word invented by Holly and me, it's a combination of "scared" and "startled") me by trying to dip me the wrong way). Hee heeReplyDelete
Oh and yeah, those lindy 2 classes are definitely designed to be able to be taken, like, a million times.

Walk - Corfe Castle to Kimmeridge
4.9 miles (7.8 km)
Corfe Castle Square BH20 5EZ Kimmeridge Bay
Moderate - Ancient tracks and footpaths which may be muddy in places, with some rough ground. Nearly all of it is downhill.
An alternative walk when the Lulworth Ranges are closed for live firing, this is an easy stroll from below the walls of Corfe Castle through some of Purbeck's most beautiful scenery to Kimmeridge Bay. Catch the bus, and sometimes train too, from Lulworth to Corfe Castle and drop down over heathland and through a landscape dotted with ancient remains to the limestone-and-shale coastline - but allow plenty of time first for exploring the Norman Corfe Castle and the village that grew up around it. A good walk in autumn, when late bees and butterflies browse among the bracken and brambles in the valley running down to the coast.
Wyke Dorset Cottages
Alford House B&B
Very friendly B&B situated in a beautiful village. We can pick up/drop off to the path.
Chiltern Lodge
Tom's Field Campsite & Shop
Traditional. rural camping in beautiful Isle of Purbeck. Just 20 mins walk from South West Coast Path and Dancing Ledge.

DIY Musical Instruments/
With the Blues in the Bay festival coming up Labor Day Weekend, the betterArts brigade is planning a public arts and crafts demo for kids from 1-4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 1. The free workshop will be held outside of Bay House Artisans in downtown Alexandria Bay, and is made possible through a generous donation from the Watertown Evening Rotary.
That free workshop will show children how to make their own instruments out of simple supplies. While researchig what to make next Saturday, we ran into a plethora of great ideas for kids of all ages. A few of our top picks below!
Note: Keeping items such as these in a large plastic storage container makes for easy access and quick clean up:
- sequins, buttons, yarn, ribbon, masking tape, beads, glitter, sand, cellophane, construction paper, magazines, photos, crayons, markers, colored pencils, paint, nail polish
stapler or glue
hole punch
jingle bells
Staple or glue two paper plates together, facing each other. Using a hole punch, make holes around the plates and tie jingle bells to the holes with string. Decorate the tambourine with crayons.
Shake to play.
Note: Heavy duty paper plates may be more durable for this craft.
Safety note: If using a stapler, an adult should do this. When finished be sure to cover the staples with scotch tape.
DRUM empty oatmeal box with cover
2 pencils
2 spools
construction paper
Before beginning, you can decorate the oatmeal box with construction paper and/or crayons for a colorful effect.
Place the cover on the box. Use a pen to make a hole in the center of the cover and in the center of the bottom of the box. Through these holes, pull a piece of yarn long enough to hang around child's neck and down to their waist.
For the drumsticks, place the spools at the ends of the pencils, secure with glue if necessary.
Beat to play.
ruler or stick
nail polish
mixing spoon
Hang the washers from the ruler or stick with pieces of string by wrapping the string around the ruler or stick and securing. Strike the washers with the mixing spoon to play.
Note: You can make this craft colorful by painting the washers first with different color nail polishes, such as red, gold, glittery, etc. Parents should supervise this part of the activity closely.
paper towel roll
waxed paper
rubber band
Cover one end of the paper towel roll with waxed paper, secure it with a rubber band. Punch a row of holes along one side of the roll with the tip of a pen.
To play, sing a tune into the open end of the horn.
two matching pot covers
yarn or ribbon
Tie the ribbon or yarn around the handles of the pot covers. To play, strike together.
tall glasses or jars
mixing spoon
Fill the glasses or jars with different amounts of water. The more water in the glass, the lower the pitch will be. Having less water in the glass or jar will raise the pitch.
To play, gently strike the glasses with a mixing spoon.
Note: This instrument should probably be played by older children in "the band" because of the use of glass.
pocket comb
tissue paper
Fold a piece of tissue paper over the tooth edge of a comb. To play, hum through the tissue paper.
empty shoe box
rubber bands
ruler or stick
Remove the cover from the box. Stretch the rubber bands around the box. Attach the ruler or stick to the back of the box on one end to act as the arm of the guitar.
To play, strum or pluck the rubber bands.
2 paper towel rolls
hole punch
4 jingle bells
string or yarn
Punch a hole in each end of the paper towel rolls. Tie two jingle bells to each side of the paper towel rolls by running string or yarn through the holes and carefully tying off.
Shake to play.
Have fun and let creativity and imagination run wild! Record the band's first song and play back for some great giggle time. Enjoy!

Hard money lenders were just another type connected mortgage broker–or are they? Well, yes and absolutely no. Following are a few ways in which strong money lenders are indeed very different from standard mortgage brokers–and what that may can mean for solid estate investors.
Private lenders vs. institutions
Regular the mortgage brokers purpose with a definite number using institutions such a as big banks along with mortgage organizations to establish mortgages, moreover make the companies money on to points as well as the certain cash fees. The main bank by tacks upon more securing costs and therefore fees, quite by those time any closing was over, some of the borrower has paid worldwide from a great few 1,000 to a multitude of thousand dollars every month in fees, points other spending. And the more financing brokers are unquestionably involved, the exact more points the individual pays.
Hard funds lenders, over the remaining hand, their job directly as well as private lenders, either one at a time or since a swimming. If the particular hard money lender works with its private banks individually, afterward for each new cash request, some sort of hard money lender should definitely approach every private mortgage company until s/he has improved enough hard earned cash to account the college loan. The price is that time put easily into escrow at some point the sealing.
Alternatively, amazingly, instead of upcoming private bankers individually intended for each new loan, the hard cash flow lender might place private money using the commercial lenders into a pool–with specific considerations about precisely the budget can are used. Our hard assets lender then uses predetermined terms – decide and the new money requests form those measures. The loan servicing manufacturer that collects the student loan payments gives them promptly into this particular pool, and so the pool pays the latest percentage of all those commission back on the way to the independent lenders.
Different techniques of properties–investment vs. owner-occupied
While basic mortgage brokers can do the trick with available properties because commercial properties, hard revenue lenders vastly prefer investment properties–also described as "non-owner-occupied" properties (NOO for short). That's thanks to the fact "owner-occupied" (OO) properties hold restrictions around how tons of points which the hard money lender could collect (ex. a supreme of 5 points), also the the word must be at minimum 5 prolonged time.
With NOO properties, hard money lenders can charge higher information and expenditures and offer you you loans for shorter terms, sometimes in reality one current year or not as. While which often may be thought of as risky and therefore expensive, you see, the profit since one incredibly good "flip" transaction can without problems make up for higher loan charge.
Knowledge of predatory banking institution laws
Owner-occupied (OO) real estate properties are subject with what are known such as predatory lending laws–a allocated of regulation designed that will protect consumers, especially often the under-educated, minorities and typically the poor–from unprincipled and unjust lending practices.
Hard hard cash lenders just need to be fully knowledgeable relating to both u . s . and state predatory borrowing laws. With private finance companies will merely work who have hard hard earned money lenders, because a periodic mortgage merchant usually is ordinarily not educated with deceptive lending as well as regulations and perfectly make a complete mistake that gets his license suspended–and may in reality jeopardize each private lender's loan.
Saving price with arduous money lenders
Now that we've discussed some of the quarrels between demanding money lender singapore lenders and conventional mortgage brokers, you might see a certain of the reasons during using exhausting money payday loans for investment decision properties that you intend to flip or rehab and re-sell. Here's a different reason: when dealing by way of a hard money loan service who does offer direct find out to private information lenders (rather than number of layers regarding brokers), owners may you ought to be saving your own self thousands within dollars near points and extra taxes.
Furthermore, producing use of a onerous money banker can permit you easily and quickly obtain all the loan users need, while using the term life insurance you want, and which has no risk to our personal historical past. And if you can develop the actual right sort of of bond with the right troublesome money lender and private lenders, your site too has the capability to be part of the very "inner circle" of tangible estate men and women who appear to get a hold of out relevant to all the best transactions first–and get building real wealth.

False morel mushrooms are as common as their namesake, morel mushrooms. They are occasionally found growing in the same areas that morels grow, too. However, false morels and morels are quite different.
In appearance, false morels look rather like brains on a stem, while true morels look sort of like a sponge on a stem. If this isn't enough to tell the difference, if you slice them in half top to bottom, there are more differences that are easy to see.
A false morel doesn't have a hollow stem or completely hollow cap. True morel stems are hollow and the entire cap is also hollow.
True Morel Mushroom
The reason it is important to be able to tell the difference between these unrelated mushrooms is that morels are choice edible mushrooms. Many people feel that false morels are also excellent to eat, yet people have died from eating false morels.
There are many species of false morels. Some are more poisonous than others and they can also be more toxic based on where they are growing.
Some sources claim that false morels are only poisonous if they are raw or improperly cooked. However, there are a number of people who have become quite ill or have died from eating even properly cooked false morels. There is also some indication that the toxins are additive. That means that the longer a person eats them, the apter they are to have a severe adverse reaction to the mushrooms.
False Morel Mushroom
In comparison, true morels are edible whether they are raw or cooked and there don't seem to be instances of poisoning from true morels. This is even considering the fact that an individual can be allergic to any food or drink that is consumed.
Symptoms of poisoning by false morels include dizziness, upset stomach, cramping, vomiting, headache, liver failure, and respiratory distress. The toxins often attack blood cells as well as the central nervous system. Consuming alcoholic beverages while eating false morels may amplify the effects of the toxins. Symptoms usually appear between 4 and 48 hours after eating false morels and the main active toxin is called gyromitrin. Gyromitrin is also a carcinogen or cancer-causing substance.
Handful of False Morels
The bottom line is that while many people continue to eat false morel mushrooms, they are considered poisonous and have claimed a number of lives. This is one that I would not personally recommend eating, especially since there are a large number of quite edible mushrooms out there that seldom cause problems.

We are going to start a new series called "Words Wednesdays," ok? This one got off to a late start, but better late than never.
Why Words Wednesdays? Because I love words: wise words, witty words, dirty words. I have been collecting quotes since the days of IM profiles and now Pinterest has made it even easier to keep all of my favorites in one spot. Sometimes, when I'm bored or feeling bummed, I just scroll through my Pinterest page of quotes and it makes me feel better. How corny is that? But I believe that words have power. So, I thought, what better way to get through hump-day than with some weekly words of wisdom and wit? And Wednesday starts with a W. It's all about alliteration folks.
And, who better to start our series than the uber-talented and incredibly funny Lena Dunham? When I thought of this series, I knew immediately what quote I wanted to start with. I saw this while ago over on JoAnna's blog and it just stuck with me. I mean, how true, right? It takes all of my self-control not to sign "xo" to everything I ever write. Work emails. Emails to people on eBay. Even emails to our Priest about the wedding. I mean is it OK to "xo" a priest? Probably not.

America's elections are heating up - and the entire world is watching. How will the race to the top shift the balance of power, and will the situation in Ukraine escalate?
The U.S. elections are moderately likely to contribute to short-term spikes in conflict in Ukraine though they may play a small role in Washington's and Moscow's calculus about resolution through late 2016. The trend toward a hawkish approach to Russia among major candidates in both the Democratic and Republican parties will contribute to aggressive national rhetoric; Kiev is incentivized to capitalize on any domestic U.S. discussion on Ukraine and to mobilize the Ukrainian diaspora. Overall, the Kremlin is likely to take American rhetoric in stride, but the outcome of the elections may contribute to a desire to resolve the crisis prior to a new administration taking office.
A Variety of Hawkish Platforms
The majority of U.S. presidential candidates from both the Republican and Democratic parties have presented a foreign policy platform that is more aggressive than the current administration's strategy. While Ukraine has not featured heavily in campaign issues thus far, a flare-up in violence may elicit a reaction by candidates as the primaries shift to the general election and detailed policy positions are stated. Support for strong national defense and public debate on foreign intervention in this election will likely shift the national sentiment toward a more assertive role internationally.
Republican candidates, including Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, and Scott Walker, have all taken harsh lines against Russia's involvement in the Ukraine Crisis and the Obama administration's reaction. Most interesting is the position taken by Donald Trump—he supports negotiating directly with President Putin and questions European allies' commitment to ending the crisis.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who served in the first Obama administration, is more conciliatory toward the current approach though she will likely pursue a more aggressive U.S. foreign policy than President Obama. The other major candidate in the Democratic camp, Senator Sanders, has traditionally stressed a more cooperative foreign policy but has backed sanctions and voiced support for Ukraine.
The Politics of Increasing Violence
For Kiev especially, violence in eastern Ukraine during the elections provides an opportunity to raise awareness of the conflict among the American public and to force the political debate to consider the conflict in an anti-Russian light.
While hostilities are likely to play into pro-Kiev rhetoric in US elections, this may shift Russian and separatist tactics toward minimizing open conflict and seeking to cast their positions as peaceful in the face of government aggression. However, recent flare-ups show that the conflict is not eliciting a reaction in the U.S., encouraging moderate levels of conflict so long as it does not attract strong international attention.
Kiev Capitalizes on Publicity
It is likely that President Poroshenko will provide commentary on candidates' levels of support for Ukraine to both raise the issue and to activate the Ukrainian diaspora, which stands at nearly one million in the United States. In neighboring Canada, which hosts the largest Ukrainian population outside Russia, political activism among Ukrainian-Canadians has contributed to PM Harper's position on the crisis and Ottawa's recent trade deal with Kiev.
Not unlike Israeli PM Netanyahu's vocal commentary on US policy in the Middle East, it is reasonable to expect that Poroshenko will at weigh in on domestic developments and try to tie the conflict to a wider confrontation between Russia and the West.
Moscow-Washington Calculus
Both Moscow and Washington may shift their overall calculus regarding Ukraine over the next year and a half as a result of the U.S. elections. Low probability events, like the downing of MH17, significantly raise the Ukraine Conflict's profile internationally. Moscow will seek to minimize such events or the escalation of conflict to the extent that US interest rises. That current polls suggest a more hardline approach will come from the next president may nudge the Kremlin toward deescalating the confrontation with the West and supporting a genuine ceasefire in Ukraine.
Concurrently, the Obama administration is concerned with shaping its legacy during the time left in office. This translates into minimizing the United States' embroilment in Ukraine's conflict directly and countering Russia in the NATO format. Should events on the ground improve or a harsh anti-Russian candidate prompts Moscow to take a conciliatory tone, the U.S. elections may contribute to a resolution of the crisis prior to a new administration taking office. However, this possibility is less likely than the elections contributing to publicity-driven violence and an overall rise in anti-Russia or anti-separatist positioning in the national debate.

This post follows up on harmonic addition mentioned in the previous post here.
Harmonic arithmetic is an inverse arithmetic. It is based on an automorphism that interchanges the zero with the infinite and the greater-than-one with the less-than-one: 0 ↔ ∞ and x ↔ 1/x. So zero becomes the new inaccessible number and infinity becomes the new additive unit.
Harmonic addition was defined as a power operation:
Simple harmonic addition is thus defined as:
The harmonic additive unit is infinity instead of zero. Harmonic adding one to infinity equals one. Incrementing one leads to one-half, and in general each increment leads to a smaller number:
Harmonic subtraction is defined as:
Note the reverse of x and y in the denominator. Harmonic multiplication is defined from multiple harmonic additions as:
which is surprisingly non-commutative. Harmonic division is defined then as:
which is surprisingly commutative. Harmonic exponentiation is defined from multiple harmonic multiplications as:
The harmonic square is the inverse:
Regular and harmonic arithmetic are isomorphic with ordinary addition exchanged with harmonic multiplication and ordinary multiplication exchanged with harmonic division.
Harmonic arithmetic is like counting down from infinity, in which an increment of one reduces the amount slightly.

Photos: Gory death matches pit wild boars against dogs in Indonesia
Oct 19, 2017 13:11 IST
A wild boar is pitted against a dog during a contest, known locally as 'adu bagong' (boar fighting), in Cikawao village of Majalaya, West Java province, Indonesia. The gory spectacle in this remote part of the Javanese province has been on since the 1960s, evolving from a simple measure against crop pests into a lucrative sport. (Beawiharta / REUTERS)

The origins of this tradition were simple --as recourse to surging wild pig numbers decades ago in the area with locals resorting to hunting them to protect crops. (Beawiharta / REUTERS)
Dog breeder Agus Badud washes his dog at his house in Cibiuk village of West Java province. Badud keeps 40 dogs who participate in fights in these contests. 'I take part in this contest to increase the selling price and economic value of my dogs, and it would be useless for me as a breeder if I did not participate in a contest like this,' he said. (Beawiharta / REUTERS)
Villagers react as they watch an adu bagong match. Gathered around a bamboo-walled arena, residents here seem eager to watch the blood-curdling fights. They take place in a 15-by-30 metre (50 ft by 100 ft) arena surrounded by a bamboo fence to protect spectators, and only end when one of the animals is injured. (Beawiharta / REUTERS)
Dog breeder Agus Badud's family sit near the cage of their dog during a boar fighting contest. Participants told Reuters the fights were a way to preserve a tradition of hunting in the area. While dog owners pay anywhere from 200,000 rupiah to 2 million rupiah ($15 to $150) to enter the fights depending on the size of their dog, there's also a cash prize of up to $2,000 for the winning dog. (Beawiharta / REUTERS)
Villagers watch a fight in progress between a dog and captured wild boar from a protective bamboo stage. Not surprisingly, animal rights activists are up in arms against the regular spectacle. 'It is a criminal act against animals,' said Indonesian animal rights activist Marison Guciano. (Beawiharta / REUTERS)
A dog takes a hit from a wild boar during a bout. Defending the practice Nur Hadi, head of Hiparu, a group of hunting dog enthusiasts that takes part in the fights said, 'It used to be very simple, not like now when the dogs are trained,'. 'From there it's been handed down and has even become part of tradition and culture,' Hadi told Reuters. (Beawiharta / REUTERS)
A dog-handler cleans blood from his dog which bit a boar during a fight. Participants say the contests test the agility and hunting abilities of the dogs. If a boar survives a fight, once healed it will be returned to the arena to fight another day. If not, it will be butchered and sold for meat. (Beawiharta / REUTERS)

This is another great jewelery design mood board. Different shapes and trends all inspired by the deep green of the emerald. Not only a redheads best friend but it remains a classic amongst the color craze of late. Think emerald is the new navy. This color is so rich that even the fine cut dresses (one the most refined by Jil Sander Spring 12 line) seem to act like full body jewelery. Confident, daring and mouth watering. Just like the redheads who wear it well!
-I am dedicating this post to my sister, as this is her favorite color for a reason! I hope she packs some emerald in her luggage as she sets off for a summer in Rome! Kiss Kiss.

It might be that Microsoft is feeling the pressure of having to deal with what its serious competitors are doing. With Google making their own Google Docs free for people to use online and with Open Office getting more users, Microsoft may be concerned on how their own Office Suite would eventually fare out in the market. With competitors offering products for free, Microsoft is on the verge of offering an online version of the Office Suite for free.
Microsoft recently released news that it is on the way of coming up with its own Office Web, the online lightweight version of its Microsoft Office Suite. Microsoft is on the way of making the Microsoft Office Suite 2010 along with its online version go under limited technical preview. A limited number of people will be testing the new products of which the online Office Web version might be getting some people quite excited.
According to the Microsoft press release, the Office Web applications would consist of lightweight he new products of which the online Office Web version might be gettign r free.
browser versions of the Microsoft Office Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. They can be accessed online for free; at least that is what the software giant is saying. Of course, the beefed up version of the Office 2010 is still for sale. But having the Web applications available for free to online users is something that the tech giant is not really known for. It is quite unlike the software giant to be giving away something like that. But then in a competitive world, everything must give.
Competitors have been giving away free versions of their own competing products online. It has become such a concern for Microsoft that it, too is trying to offer a free Web browser version of its popular Office applications. This move may just pay off somewhere along the way for the mighty Microsoft. But then Google also has its own plans for the future and in trying to stay within the heels of Microsoft on all fronts. Guess the battle has just seriously begun for the two giants.
