The Rise in First-Time Homebuyers
Although Millennials are still saddled with large amounts of student loan debt and economic uncertainty, there are some factors that are driving more of this generation to begin buying their first homes instead of renting or living in their parents' homes. According to John Clifford of Genworth Mortgage Insurance in a HousingWire article, there are a variety of reasons that are contributing to the rapid growth of the first-time homebuyer. The reasons include "affordability being extremely high, Millennials reaching home-buying age and rising rents."
Marketing to the First-Time Homebuyer
As the 2008 housing crisis made home ownership impossible for many would-be homebuyers, rents began to dramatically increase. In many large metropolitan areas, renters find themselves either priced out of the market or dealing with a shortage of available units. To combat this, many home builders have begun to construct more affordable starter homes geared toward first-time homebuyers, as well as many housing agencies offering programs requiring small down payments and low interest rates for first-time homebuyers. With the high cost of renting in many cities, homeownership becomes even more appealing.
Reaching Millennial Homeowners
Another factor affecting the drive to buy for many Millennials is age. With the oldest Millennials being born in 1980 and age 36, more and more of this generation would like to have places of their own. Many people in this generation are starting families or growing in their career, which traditionally leads to homeownership. Stevens of Mortgage Bankers Association also predicts that household formations will increase to 1.6 million a year between 2015 and 2024, compared with the increase of 1.2 million a year between 2010 and 2014 per Visalia Times-Delta.
Increasing Homeownership
Overall, many in the mortgage industry expect first-time homeownership rates to steadily increase over time. Most in the mortgage industry see minority Millennials leading the way to the resurgence of first-time homeownership because of the lack of available places to rent, increasing the affordability of starter homes, size of this population, and their stage in life.
With this new demand for mortgage loans, FICS® understands that lenders require loan origination and mortgage servicing software solutions that are flexible and comprehensive. FICS keeps up-to-date on our technology so we can support you in meeting the needs of your present and future borrowers.

I recently had the opportunity to speak to the Sports Financial Advisors Association Conference in Dallas about "Clients in Crisis: Protecting them Legally, Emotionally, and Financially" on a panel with Rick Robertson from Koons, Fuller, Vanden Eykel, and Roberton in Dallas, and Anthony Flax from ITC Recovery in NYC. Both Anthony and Rick provided invaluable insights to the challenges of dealing with crises with professional athletes.
Russell Maryland, former DE from the Dallas Cowboys, and Shauna Collum, former wife of an NFL football player, were panel members on a panel just prior to ours, and gave an illuminating presentation about the financial and resulting relationship challenges that arise BEFORE draft day. Many potential professional sports draft picks are approached by potential "agents" and "advisors" with opportunities to borrow significant sums of money (to buy cars and bling, usually) BEFORE they have been drafted or signed contracts.
This practice is so common that many of these young men already have major financial problems brewing during the very first year of their professional careers. The numbers bear this out, as 80% of all NFL players and 60% NBA players are getting divorce AND in serious financial difficulty or bankruptcy within 3 years of the end of their playing careers. The toll on these players, the spouses, and their children is a disaster repeated year after year.
This extremely high rate of divorce, along with the accompanying financial challenges, is a black mark on both the NFL and the NFLPA. It is apparent to any reasonable professional that these young men are a high risk group that needs early intervention to prevent this predictable family carnage. Both groups need to collaborate on solutions like this:
1. Values education and clarification for players and spouses before the draft occurs or before first camp begins and legal advice about how to protect their newfound affluence and assets.
2. Mentors who are NOT family members or friends to advise on financial and relationship issues, including community service and personal branding as a part of long term career planning after retirement.
3. Life coaching for skills building in personal finance, emotional intelligence, relationship and personal management, and parenting.
4. Outplacement services to facilitate the transition to life after professional sports.
A comprehensive program could reduce the rate of divorce and financial disaster for these families substantially and save lots of children the anguish of divorce and financial stress. These families deserve a better life.
The PowerPoint presentation from our panel on dealing with crises is available online at my Linked-In page. http://www.linkedin.com/home

Galatians 4:1-7/
Last week we focused on the fact that the Law had a specific purpose within the framework of Salvation History. The Law acted as a warden and a nanny for Israel to carry them as a nation to the next phase of God's plan, which climaxed in the manifestation of the Promised Seed (Jesus).
God has a redemption plan that has been in place since before the fall of man ever happened (1 Peter 1:18). As humans, we are usually very impatient and hurriedly desire to travel from point A to point B. God on the other hand, is long suffering because it is His desire that no one perish (2 Peter3:9). Therefore, He has taken His time to clearly communicate the plan of Salvation History through His Word and interaction with humanity through creating His own people (1 Peter 2:9). He accomplished this first through the creation of Israel out of Abraham, and He continues today through the church.
Through the illustration of a nanny, tutor, schoolmaster, or pedagogue, Paul explained that God's people Israel existed in the midst of a time-frame of Salvation History where they had to be guided through this phase of God's redemption plan. In the verses we will cover next, he will continue with the thought of an immature child; however, the progression will describe a maturation process resulting in an adult son who is now able to receive his inheritance.
Galatians 4:1-2 1 Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, 2 but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father.
Paul continues the idea from last week by describing Israel as an immature child of God requiring guidance and close supervision by servants who monitor their child's activities. These servants attend to the daily functions of the child regarding more than just education. Some of these servants described in the original language speak of looking over all aspects of their lives including their financial matters also.
The word child in this passage describes an infant incapable of speech therefore; they are unable to attend to themselves. Theoretically, these children could be heirs to a vast fortune. However, they are currently at a place in their maturity that they cannot access those funds. They cannot enjoy the fruit of their inheritance because it is not the appointed time for them to be trusted with the inheritance. While they are actually heirs, at this point in their life, they have no more freedom than a servant. Using this as a Salvation History illustration, God's plan for humanity was not at the level of maturity during the time-frame of the Law so Israel, under the Law, is seen as a child incapable of making its own decisions. Therefore, the Law was given to act as a guide to carry the plan forward to the appointed time.
Galatians 4:3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
The idea of the word elements- describes first things similar to the concept of elementary school being first before the next levels. Paul is saying that when humanity was under the elemental ways of things, we were all under bondage. Scholars agree that for the Jew Paul was obviously speaking of the Mosaic Law, but for the Gentile they were under the bondage of Pagan religions.
However, Paul has explained before that even the Gentiles had some form of law built within them. In the book of Romans, Paul explains that even for the Gentiles, their conscience speaks to them regarding right from wrong without even knowing the Law of God. Therefore, when they respond properly to what their conscience tells them, then they are also living according to a system of law.
Romans 2:13-15 13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. 14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: 15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience (1 Tim 4:2)also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another.
In this sense, Gentiles then, and a Christian today, could create for themselves a system of legalism in an attempt to live a more "righteous" life rather than submitting to the covenant of grace that Jesus purchased for humanity through the giving of Himself for our sins.
I have had multiple discussions even with Pastors of churches that refuse to pay attention to what passages like this one are saying because they believe that the Law was only for Israel. They do not understand that when man's conscience begins to deal with him about right and wrong, his natural instinct is to establish laws and regulations in order to live right.
Nevertheless, both Jew and Gentile, in this stage of human history, were living under the elemental stages of God's redemption plan. This resulted in bondage because at this point the liberating power of the Holy Spirit had not been given.
Galatians 4:4 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 5 To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
There is an obvious contrasting of 2 time-frames taking place here. The Holy Spirit is pointing out the difference between elemental and fullness.
Elemental- first or preliminary
Fullness- completion
Humanity was under bondage during these earlier periods of Salvation History, but there was an appointed time for Jesus to come. There was a time of preparation before Jesus could come. Similarly, in our individual lives, there is a time of preparation before we are ready to receive Jesus. As sinners, sin usually has to have had its way in our lives in order for us to be convinced that it is not worth playing with. As Christians, we often have to travel a long journey of trying to live for God in our own strength before frustration convinces us that it is time to really submit.
God had to convince Israel and the Gentile world that it was time for Jesus. In a similar fashion, He continues to convince people through circumstances and His Word that Jesus is what they need.
At the time that Jesus was born:
(1) The Roman Empire had constructed roads that made travel easy.
(2) The Grecians had contributed a common language for the civilized world.
(3) The Jews already believed in monotheism (one true God).
In other words, the world was prepared by God for humanity to receive the Messiah. It is important for us to understand that there was no mail service, no telegraph, and no internet. But because of the common language and the well-developed road system, it was an environment that was conducive to the spreading of the Gospel.
Jesus was born of a woman, which is consistent with the Gospels in the sense that He was born of a virgin. Mankind was helpless in the midst of his bondage. Sin was pervasive and the Law and conscience of man was not powerful enough to remove man from its grip.
But God became man during the time-frame of the Law with regards to Salvation History. Remember, the Law was given for transgressions until the seed would come. When the promised seed came, He did what man could not do... He kept the Law, which fulfilled the just requirements of the Father. You and I cannot keep the Law to completion. We need to quit trying to make ourselves righteous in the eyes of God by attempting to live through a set of rules.
Am I saying that it is okay to break the 10 commandments? Absolutely not! It is still a sin to kill, steal, and commit adultery. But righteousness is not found in keeping the Law. Right standing with God is through our position in Christ...the Law keeper. Now, in Him, grace flows, this gives strength to live right. So in Christ, we are not just given power to not commit adultery, but "in Christ", we are given power through grace not to lust in our hearts (Matt 5:27, 28).
…receive the adoption of sons. This terminology in the Greek literally means "Adult son placing". The idea describes a coming of age where the person can be trusted with his inheritance.
This took place because He redeemed us from the Law. We have made mention of this on multiple occasions, but the Greek thought of redeemed is: to be purchased off the slave market through the payment of a ransom. Jesus was born of a woman under the time-frame of the Law. He lived a perfect life, which fulfilled the demands of the Law. Then He offered His sinless life as a ransom for sinful humanity. Because He had no sin, death had no hold on Him, and He resurrected from the dead. Furthermore, He ultimately ascended back to the Father. He is seated in heavenly places where there is no sin or Law. And the scripture says that we are seated in heavenly places in Him: Ephesians 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Galatians 4:6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
The progression is that there is a maturing from a child to a son. The thought goes back to the idea of a child (infant) or one that is of an age where he cannot manage his affairs. Therefore, he has to be placed under tutors, guardians, and stewards.
Now, humanity has reached the point in Salvation History where things have changed. The changing factor in the equation is directly related to the Spirit of God. One of the points that I attempted to make as we spoke of Salvation History last week had to do with God's methodical approach to restoring His presence back to a place of intimacy with humanity.
Because of the cross and the removal of sin (Hebrews 10:1-20), we become the house of the Holy Spirit. The result is that we are reconnected to the Father through the Spirit. Once we are born again, the Spirit of God cries from our heart Abba father. This results in a level of intimacy that cannot exist between an adult an infant. GRACE IS FOR GROWN- UPS.
Jesus called the Father Abba in the garden:
Mark 14:33-36 And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy; 34 And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch. 35 And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. 36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.
This term Abba was a name used by Jewish children to address their fathers. It was not a name used by the Jewish people in prayer because it described a level of familiarity and intimacy. To the Jewish mind, it would have been sacrilege to address God on such familiar terms. However, the reason they felt this way is because during their time-frame in Salvation History, the Holy Spirit did not live continuously on the inside of man (Ezekiel 36:25-27; Jeremiah 21:31; John 14:17). But now through faith in Jesus' sacrifice, the heart of man becomes the home of the Holy Spirit. And the Spirit of God within us cries Abba Father. He is letting us know we are home.
I do not know what kind of distress you are facing in your life right now. In the Mark passage we read, Jesus was facing the biggest trial of His life. His closest friends that He had poured everything into had fallen asleep when He needed them the most. It is an amazing thing how so often when we go through the greatest trials of our Christian lives, it seems as though we are all alone. But the truth is that we are not alone. We have access to Abba Father. The Holy Spirit is dwelling in you if you are a Christian. If that is you right now and you feel as though you are being overwhelmed by sorrow, grief or pain, let the Spirit of God on the inside cry out "Abba Father!"
Galatians 4:7 Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
All this time, the Judaizers are trying to convince the Galatian Christians that if they want to inherit the promises given to Abraham then they will have to come under the covenant that God made with Israel. But Paul is explaining that the Old Covenant was an inferior covenant that was brought in after the promise was given to Abraham. Furthermore, the purpose of that covenant was to carry humanity to a certain point in Salvation History where the Promised Seed would arrive.
The result of the Promised Seed and His sacrifice is a better covenant based on better promises (Hebrews 8:6). Once again in the New Covenant, the result is intimacy with God on a level that the OT Jew did not enjoy because the Holy Spirit was unable to indwell him on a persistent basis secondary to the fact that the old sacrificial system was unable to actually remove the debt of sin (Hebrews 10:4).
Now that the plan of God has "come of age" there is greater intimacy. As Paul explains, in the New Covenant, God views us as sons and heirs rather than infants under bondage to the power of sin or the Law. Now, in Christ, the Holy Spirit desires to guide us through this life. The idea should not be," Well I am a grown up now. Okay God thanks for the help. Thanks for telling me I do not need the tutors, stewards and guardians anymore. I will take it from here."
Instead, we have the wonderful privilege of intimate access to the presence of God. The Holy Spirit wants to walk with us and talk with us. He wants to give us counsel in all of our affairs. Unfortunately, along with freedom oftentimes comes a learning curve. Grace is for grown-ups. And many times when Christians attempt to live according to grace, they do not always want to hear what the Spirit of God is saying. Many times when the Spirit says something we do not want to hear, we ignore His voice. The problem with is that it is disobedience and sin, which results in a "hearing problem."
Have you ever seen a child get corrected and act as though he did not hear what the parent said? This is a similar concept. Except it is more like the child that has grown up and moved out that you have tried to speak wisdom into their lives, but they ignore your counsel. You cannot force them…they are an adult now. To some extent, you have to let them go and learn the process.
It is the same with grace. There is a process of learning how to live for God as a "grown up". In order for it to work, the believers must listen intently to hear his voice and when He speaks, we must obey.
What do you need direction about in your life right now? Have you invited God into the midst of those circumstances or have you not really asked His opinion for fear that He may tell you something contrary to what you want?

Based on the Five Pillars of Change, with chapters dedicated to Sponsorship, Stakeholder Management, Communication, Training, and a section on Organization Design, this book provides a comprehensive beginner's guide to Change.
And don't be fooled by the name. Practical Change Management for IT Projects will be relevant for anyone implementing Change Management on organization, culture, or process projects, as well.
Thank you to all of my loyal readers for making this book possible, and I hope you enjoy the book as much as you do the blog!
Happy reading,
Practical tips, tricks, and advice (plus the occassional theoretical discussion) from a Change Management professional.
Ask 100 people to define Change Management, and you'll get 100 different definitions. At the end of the day, the definition is just semantics. What really matters is whether you can implement a Change Management program in a practical way that allows you to support your organization in successfully achieving its goals. Whether you're a Change Manager, a consultant, or the tech. guy who was told to "figure out some Change Management stuff," this blog will help address common issues and topics you're likely to run into along the way.

I have seen systems similar to this work in other communities in which I have lived and visited. In one community with no garages, owners had one numnbred parking space and a tag to hang on the rear view mirror for a second car or a guest to park In unnumbered spaces.
I think this will help as long as the residents remember to give them to their visitors

James Fox and Nancy Bush feel a dual connection to nature. Using two very different mediums, photography and tonalist oil painting, both Fox and Bush capture the very distinct mood of a place in their artistic journey entitled Two Perspectives, Crossing Paths and InSight Gallery, 214 West Main Street.
The concept of this show centers around perspective – two states, four seasons, a shared location, two different points of view. How does one place affect two different people? Nancy and Jim hope to illustrate just that. Locals in both Texas and New Mexico, they have chosen several of their favorite landscapes throughout these states and use their own artistic medium to convey the light, mood and atmosphere of that particular place. The end result is the beauty of interpretation through contrasting perspectives. This will most certainly be a dynamic collaboration.
For more information please visit www.insightgallery.com
This show will be exhibited at the Rockwell Museum of Western Art in Corning, New York – January through May 2012.

Chelsea has a strong reputation among the premier league for its low injury rate. This is largely due to the club's strong training regime, where the emphasis is on long-term fitness. The facilities are also the best available, with major investment by the club over the years in medical and scientific support for its players, in the forms of knowledge and technology.
Steady rise
Nevertheless, studies show that overall there is a steady rise in injury numbers across all premier league teams. This is in spite of increased levels of fitness and improved treatment and support. With clubs playing in both domestic and European leagues, there is greater pressure on players and so a higher risk of fatigue and injury. Overall, the game has also become more demanding. It's been said that where 50 years ago top footballers would run on average three miles in every match, the average is now six. As a result, more footballers are missing matches, costing clubs millions of pounds. These injuries are generally either contact injuries or soft tissue injuries, with 40% of the latter being hamstring injuries.
Best treatment
The state of the art medical support at clubs like Chelsea, including physiotherapy and biotechnology, means that players get the best treatment available and are able to be back in action as soon as possible. As such, they have the advantage over non-professional players, who could find they suffer severe and long-lasting setbacks in their personal lives and careers because of an accident on the pitch. Many in this position would need to make a legal claim for a football injury to secure anywhere near the same level of treatment.
Key players
With 25 players in the first team, Chelsea can of course cope with a few injuries; however, when one or more key players have to miss a match this can heavily influence the Blues' chances. Recently the defence and midfield have suffered a series of blows, with John Terry's ankle injury, Branislav Ivanovic suffering a knock during a Serbian International, and Cesc Fabregas out of action with a muscle injury. The Spanish midfielder had his nose broken twice last year, and suffered a broken leg while playing for Arsenal in 2010.
Recurrent problems
Most dramatically, Kurt Zouma suffered a horrific injury against Manchester united back in February, causing him to miss the end of the 2015-16 season and Euro 2016 due to a ruptured anterior crucial ligament in his knee.
He is expected to return to action at the end of October. Marco Van Ginkel was due to be loaned to PSV Eindhoven this season, but is still at Chelsea recuperating from his persistent knee injury. His first season at Chelsea in 2013 was cut short due to injury, and he's had recurrent problems since.
Chelsea is a well-oiled machine that works best when all of its players are fit and healthy. The club does its best to ensure this is the case throughout the season. Nevertheless, injuries will happen, especially at the beginning and mid-point of the season, leading to calls for a winter break similar to those enjoyed by most European clubs. Whether this will ever happen remains to be seen.

| Institute Releases Atlanta Water Report
Analysis May Shed Light on Current Crisis
The 2006 Pacific Institute analysis Review of Water Conservation Planning for the Atlanta, Georgia Region, is now available to the public. The report may offer insight into Atlanta's current water crisis.
Originally completed for the Florida Department of Environmental Protection in 2006, the analysis finds the Atlanta region's conservation and efficiency efforts to be inadequate and not sufficiently included in the region's water planning.
Public for the first time, the review takes on a new light, as Atlanta faces something unprecedented for the world's wealthiest nation: the possibility of a major city running out of water in a matter of weeks.
Calif. Commission Does About-face on Air Quality
|Pressure, Testimony Secure EJ Win
Pacific Institute Program Director Swati Prakash and other members of the Bay Area Ditching Dirty Diesel Collaborative helped successfully urge the California Transportation Commission (CTC) to restore air quality as a screening criteria used to distribute state transportation improvement funds.
The $2 billion Trade Corridor Improvement Fund, part of a voter-approved transportation bond, was created to fund freight transportation infrastructure projects that improve mobility while reducing air pollution.
The CTC, which previously removed air quality from its project selection guidelines, reversed its decision Nov. 27 after testimony from community leaders and advocates from the Bay Area, Central Valley, and the South Coast.
"The reversal is a victory for communities near the expanding freight transport hubs and corridors who are already disproportionately impacted by the negative health effects of freight transport," said Prakash.

They typically stress that if these vegetation pass away, somebody how the departed particular person will certainly be let down. Flowers, plants and gifts are all the time appreciated, regardless of when they're obtained. Keep away from getting fooled by the national flower delivery sites that ship flowers in a box. If leaves start to fall off or slope downward, you're probably not providing the plant with enough water. I met the lady at a noodle store on mulberry street, between a hostel and a funeral house.

Contemporary green crops are the proper approach to say all the things from 'thank you' to 'congratulations'. If the one you love had a non secular funeral service, funeral thanks etiquette dictates sending a observe of appreciation to the person that performed the service. Usually when the leaves start to lose their multi-colours it means the plant is not receiving enough mild. A sympathy plant reveals that your heart is with them during this time of remembrance.

Nothing like seeing it from the air!
- Log in to post comments
"I've been a student of water use, storage, and transportation for decades, but have never before seen the collection and diversion systems from the air (other than a glimpse of a big reservoir from a commercial jet)," remarked Jennifer Pitt of the Environmental Defense Fund. Pitt and David Owen, a reporter from The New Yorker recently flew with LightHawk over the Colorado Rockies.
LightHawk partnered with EDF and The New Yorker to increase understanding of the impacts of water imports to population centers in Colorado's front range. The flight also helped illuminate the risks to agriculture and watersheds from increasing urban water demand.
"The scale of the water projects is impressive from the air," continued Pitt. "Moreover, while we frequently say '80% of Colorado's water is on the west side and 80% of its people are on the east side,' and while I have tons of experience driving through these landscapes, there's NOTHING like seeing it from the air!"
"Great pilot. Terrific flight. Extremely informative. You can see things from the air that you can't picture on the ground, and in both cases the pilots added a great deal: they were guides and teachers and not just transportation providers. Both flights will play a big part in what I write." David Owen, The New Yorker magazine.

Charlie Yin, known as Giraffage, might not be on everyone's musical radar but the San Francisco native has certainly been creating a name for himself over the last year. Having already toured with the likes of Flume, XXYYXX, Slow Magic and now providing support for Porter Robinson, it can only get better for the 24 year old musical talent.
Charlie started making music back in high school as a way to escape the boring routines of school. Heavily influenced by video games, he began producing music under the alias Robot Science; where 8-bit sounds were a hallmark in his tracks. However, having made the switch to his now present moniker, a lot of his music is sample-based. Anything is fair game as far as he is concerned – he's sampled things from Britney Spears acapellas to weird 80s infomercials he finds on YouTube.
His most notable release was his album 'Needs.' Its rare to hear a cohesive body of music these days when all everyone is doing is releasing singles. But 'Needs' authenticity can not only be heard but felt as well. Charlie actually wrote the album while attending UC Berkeley, but describes his time at school as a low point in his life.
Recently, Charlie has signed with A-trak's Fool's Gold Record label, which is a massive achievement. Word has it that a new Giraffage EP is in the works! It might not be the same sample-based productions we are used to hearing, but one thing is for sure – Charlie never disappoints.
Don't miss your chance to see Giraffage, open up for Porter Robinson on September 25th at Myth Nightclub! Click here for tickets.

Some pointers which we hope will help you improve your security!
Compiled by Dad & Staff for [Office] Homes, with good tips for all [especially for those in Third World countries].
—There should be a security officer in charge of security for the house. He should compile a security checklist of all points to be checked daily. Everybody should be familiar with all the rules & abide by them.
—Be mindful of security during meetings. No excessively loud singing or talking!
—A very thorough security check should be done at night before going to bed, by two boys if possible, making sure that everything is locked up, all security lights are on' everything is out of the yard & laundry is taken down at night. Anything left out might be stolen.
—Make sure doors & all gates leading off the property are locked. For those living in the house not everyone needs a key.
— Don't open gates or doors unless you're sure who's there!
—Every door & window in the house should have a lock or be unopenable from the outside. If not' padlocks or bolts should be purchased & attached to all doors & windows not barred.
—The person who is in charge of security should never go to bed unless he is 100% sure that the house is totally secure & everything has been taken care of that needs to be.
—At the end of the workday everything should be put away neatly & orderly.
—Keep the outside of your house & your yard in very good appearance to be a good testimony to others.
—If you have an unusually large number of people living in your Home' try to schedule your laundry so you don't have lines & lines of laundry where neighbours can see you have a lot of people there.
— Shed street shoes out of sight on porch before entering inner rooms of house. Don't bring home dirt & disease!
—Westerners are very revered in many countries, so use it. On the other hand, young Westerners living together may be regarded as being sexually free, etc., so watch out for curious maids & neighbours, etc.
—If there are parts of the garden that are in plain view of the neighbours, & you think you need more privacy, a possible solution is to put up a curtain of rattan or bamboo to block the view.
—Separate [office] trash from normal throw away. If no fireplace, obtain a large barrel with a screen so that [office] trash can be burned in your yard if possible.
—Burn [office] trash regularly so it doesn't build up.
—Find out when the pickups are for garbage removal & set out your normal household trash on time. Try to dispose of your trash in as sanitary a way as possible, so as not to offend your neighbours.
—Family tapes or Scripture tapes should not be played so loudly that they can be heard outside.
—No loud Family singing that can be heard outside.
—No typing, loud music, etc., late at night, & a definite time for lights out.
—If you do a lot of typing, you should also make sure that it can't be heard from the outside.
—There should be no loud talking or singing, chemicaling of the pool, no swimming, no taking out garbage or anything noisy after 10 p.m., or anything that would disturb neighbours.
—Devotions & group meetings must be carried on in as quiet & tranquil a manner as possible so as to not create any noise that might [disturb] the neighbours. During meetings windows may have to be closed, as sound could carry to the street. No loud singing, & glass curtains closed if it's during the day.
— Simple, cheap glass or net curtains are an easy way to ensure privacy during the day. Whatever you do, make sure people can't see into your house day or night.
—High walls do not ensure privacy, since locals can often be very curious. A neighbour can stick their head over just to look, as could passers-by.
—Maintain good relations with your neighbours. Remember, it just takes one complaint from one neighbour & you may [have trouble]!
—Your initial arrival at a new location is very important, as it could make or break you.
—When moving into a house first impressions are very important. Examine your lifestyle & that of your community carefully, see where they differ, & try as much as possible to conform!
—Remember—in a strange country, the local neighbours are always right!
—Avoid grouping in front of the house when you come home.
—Avoid discussing [private] matters on the phone. Lines can often cross. One or two specific persons should be designated to answer the phone at all times.
—If you happen to have a party-line phone' make sure it's covered while you run to get someone, as people can hear on the line right into your house!
—Don't give or take [private] phone numbers over the phone.
—Don't give out any information to casual callers on the phone.
—The person who answers the door & phone should be [prepared to greet/talk with the] landlord.
—If the landlord calls, asking to speak to the tenant, & he isn't available , just tell him the tenant is not available , & ask if you can take a message.
—Have the phone number of the police' hospital, fire, etc., posted by each phone.
—[Be prepared for] a "Knock at the Door," by officials, or your landlord, etc.
—[When you don't know who is knocking:] Someone should be designated to answer the door, at which time another person should back them up.
—When answering the door [or phone] don't give your name like "This is Such-&-such'" etc. Don't give out any info to casual callers without first having them identify themselves.
—The key to the front gate should be left in a convenient place inside the house that everybody knows about in case of an emergency, close to the door but high enough to be kept away from the children. The older children from 7 or 8 years onward should be taught where all the keys are as well' in case of emergency, such as a fire & they need to get out quickly. You must be able to get out quickly if need be!
—Make sure the doorbell works.
—Rules for workmen, etc., coming on the property:
—Really count the cost before you invite workmen over, as it means they'll come into the house.
—If you offer a juice or coffee to workmen, give them disposable cups that should be discarded afterward for health reasons.
—Tip delivery boys, workmen, etc.
—Don't feel obligated to bring anybody into your house that you don't want to, unless it's the landlord after his 24–hour notice that he's coming. (If you have already agreed on this in your lease.)
—The livingroom should be kept [ready for visitors] on short notice; you wouldn't have to do a major clean up.
—Girls should dress conservatively when outside the house—as well as inside the house if they might possibly be seen by outsiders.
—Before anybody goes out [let others know your plans].
—The morning is a good time for announcements & plans so outside trips can be coordinated & organized. During united prayer in the morning & at night is a good time to pray [for your landlord] & the relations with your neighbours.
—In crime-ridden poor Third World countries it might be best to avoid being on the streets after dark.
—Beware of taxi drivers' as sometimes they work in collusion with thieves, etc. Avoid poor parts of town & make them stick to the main routes.
—When someone's out shopping or on an errand for any other reason' they should phone in periodically & phone just before they come back' to see if anything is needed.
—When anybody comes back from being out, they should remove their street clothes & shower or rinse off in the pool before they make contact with anybody else in the house. Street shoes should be left hidden near the door to your house, & you should switch into indoor slippers or flip-flops, etc.
—Whenever you leave the gate you should consider yourselves as on parade, because all eyes will probably be on you, especially if you are obviously a foreigner.
—You might consider sticking with the same buddy as much as possible, especially in the case of girls going with different guys, as it might look a little bit too free to the outside eye.
—In poor third World countries it is always better to get a rickshaw, taxi or van with a driver instead of yourself doing the driving, as they know the streets & how to get there better & all the responsibility is theirs.—And it's much cheaper & safer than renting or buying a vehicle!
—Be very wary of pickpockets & holdups while you're out. Don't wear fancy jewelry or fancy watches or carry too much money!
—If you are held up, consider your life more valuable than your money, jewelry' etc., and surrender them quickly.—Share the wealth!
—Be cautious about giving out your address or telephone number to anyone even for business.
—A Xeroxed copy of your passport photo page & visa page should be carried with you at all times instead of your actual passport, which should be left at home in your fleebag unless absolutely needed.
—Those going out should have the phone number memorised.
—Locals can be very inquisitive & curious, but just because they ask you a question doesn't mean you have to answer it directly—you can be vague & put them off without offending them.
—Foreigners are usually expected to dress well, & when out, wear slacks & nice shirts, etc.' short haircuts, avoid scruffy blue jeans, and other "hippie" attire.
—When you take a taxi or rickshaw, make sure the meter works, or if not, that you work out a price before you go!
—Avoid gangs of men or boys standing together.
—In general, avoid having taxis pick you up or leave you off at your door. It's better to walk to a nearby main street & flag one down there. When you come home, it can drop you off near your Home. A taxi should only come to the door if you have a load too big to carry or the situation warrants it.
—Anybody going out should make sure they're carrying enough money should any emergency arise & you're not able to come home. You should go two-by-two whenever possible on all outings, etc.
—Water may have to be boiled in poor Third World countries. Study your water system & plan out what to do if there are water cuts or electricity cuts, how to conserve your water.
—You should have a reserve tank & plastic jugs of drinking water in case the water goes off. Change it regularly.
—You should have a fire drill not long after you move in, to determine the best routes for emergency exits. Make sure everyone, even children, knows how to leave the Home quickly!
—Get the local newspaper daily & have someone who reads the language check the local news, so that you can get in the groove of what's happening within the country politically & otherwise.
—Everyone should watch local news or listen to radio news regularly' even if it needs to be translated.
—Go around the house & turn on inside & outside security lights at night when it gets dark. In the morning, at daybreak, someone should turn off the outside lights. It's not a good testimony to the neighbours if outside lights are left on after it is light. At reveille, inside lights can be turned off, house opened up, make sure glass curtains are closed, etc.
—The Home should be on a schedule that relates to the System surrounding, so that lights aren't on too late at night' nor do you get up too late in the morning.
—If there aren't adequate security lights outside, you should make one of your first projects to plan where they can be put up. Neon lights are very inexpensive to operate.
—Have a designated cutoff time at night and a definite time for everybody to be in bed.
Do you have any tips?—Send them in today! WLY!

I am beginning to think that Dave Lee Roth actually made good on his threat to destroy Muzak - the tunes in the motel lobby in Grand Junction included Steely Dan, The Kinks, Creedence Clearwater Revival and The Who. On the other hand the Wireless-with-Pictures in the breakfast area was showing Fox "News". Apparently Egypt and the UAE have bombed Libya without asking permission first, and various USAnian Congressional stooges are up in arms about it. Quite right too, it's not as if the USA would launch air strikes on Libya without, er, as you were.
If you look on the map, you will see that Grand Junction and Moab are not really very far apart at all, and further that the Mighty Colorado disappears into the wilderness shortly after Fruita. So I took the opportunity to visit some of the bits of Scenery adjoining Canyonlands National Park that I missed in 2003. But first... I managed to find the junction on I-70 which takes one to the Scenic Route - UT-128 - into Moab, following the Mighty Colorado during its brief reappearance into Civilisation at Dewey Bridge.
|The remains of Dewey Bridge. It is not recorded whether there were ever Huey and/or Louie bridges.
At US-191, two miles north of Moab, is the last bridge over the Mighty Colorado for some considerable distance, as the river once again vanishes into the hinterlands where you can't get at it without a boat or a proper 4WD vehicle. You can follow the river some seventeen miles further on UT-279 past the Cane Creek potash mining and processing facility, but there's not much there except a potash mining and processing facility, some railway sidings and a large quantity of Rocks. Backtrack from here, north a few miles up US-191 and then left on UT-313. This is the access road to the Island In The Sky area of Canyonlands NP (approximately 1/7 of a Wales in area, comparison fans) and also for Dead Horse Point State Park. Dead Horse Point itself is only about four miles from the potash wossname as the vulture soars, but it's also two thousand feet higher up so the views are quite spectacular. The ham and egg wrap was nice too.
|The Mighty Colorado from Dead Horse Point
On the southern edge of Moab there are road works. Carwash! says the flagger controlling the single-line operation as I pass. Clever of him to notice. Anyway, quite some distance south of Moab is a junction, from whence a madman felt it a good idea to build twenty-two miles of road through bugger all to get to the edge of the plateau. It's worth it, though. You pop over a rise about a mile from the end of the road and there's this insane jumble of rocks, mesas, rocks, buttes, rocks and occasional glimpses of the Mighty Colorado.
|Rocks. America. Tuesday.
|I for one welcome our new reptilian overlords...
- I feared it might be an Anticlimax Overlook (do you see what I did there, eh?), and
- The quantity of motor-spirit left in the tank looked a bit marginal for the 34 mile detour on top of the sixty-plus back to Moab.
But I went anyway. Seventeen miles of rather dulk gravel roads which proved that:
- 50 mph is a silly speed when the gravel gets deep, and
- The seals on the Mudstang's boot lid are far from dust-proof.
It was worth the trip, especially as the rain held off until I arrived. The roof had been down for the whole day up to this point, so I can't really complain.
|Potash evaporation ponds with the Mighty Colorado in the foreground
On beds: The bed in here is advertised as "Queen size". I know Missis Kwin has shrunk a fair bit since the Coronation but I think even she'd be hard-pushed fully to stretch out on one of these.
