HR Solutions of Kettering, which provides outsourced HR services to small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across the UK, is expanding with the acquisition of HR Services (UK) Limited of Milton Keynes and the opening of an office in the town.
The acquisition will see the two businesses merge and Elaine Pennell, owner of HR Services (UK) Limited, will move over to HR Solutions and take on the role of Senior HR Consultant at the company. Elaine's clients will also be making the move with her to HR Solutions.
Elaine said: "I started HR Services (UK) ten years ago after working as Head of HR for a global IT organisation. My job involved a lot of travel and I wanted to use my knowledge and experience to create my own business that offered HR services on a retainer basis to firms without a HR department. The business quickly grew through networking and word of mouth and evolved into the success it is today.
"I was approached by HR Solutions and quickly realised that this would be a great opportunity, not only for both of our businesses, but also my clients. My clients will still have me as their point of contact and access to the same services they have always had, but also the option of additional services I could never offer them, such as payroll, recruitment services and the provision of training courses. Also, with a larger team comes fast response times and access to a wealth of HR Advisors and Consultants for support.
"I have been approached about selling my business before but quickly recognised that HR Solutions held the same values as me, both personally and professionally. Like me, they aim to be the best they can possibly be at what they do and customer service is paramount. I have no doubt that my clients will be looked after here and the response I have had from them about the merger has been extremely positive."
Greg Guilford, Chief Executive Officer of HR Solutions, added: "We are incredibly excited both by the acquisition of this great company and to welcome Elaine on board with us. This move is part of a wider growth plan to establish a presence in Milton Keynes and we look forward to meeting with Elaine's clients and getting to know them and their businesses."
The acquisition of HR Services (UK) coincides with the opening of an office at Midsummer Court in Milton Keynes. A space that will provide a base for HR Solutions to meet with and service clients in the area.
Greg adds: "Like Elaine, customer service has always been a top priority to us and has enabled us to grow year on year since 2001. This was evidenced recently when we were finalists in the category of Service Excellence at the SME Awards at both a local and national level. We look forward to working together and building on these values and providing the very best service and HR advice possible to clients new and old."
HR Solutions supplies outsourced HR support to clients from small care agencies to multi-national technology firms, and boasts over 300 clients in a wide range of industries including financial services, charitable, medical and hospitality sectors. Services available include HR health checks, bespoke documentation and handbooks, employment advice and more.

Politics.com POCO announced Tuesday it will sell its domain name and look for other ways to make a profit. President Howard Baer said the company has engaged PoliticsOnline.com to conduct an auction. "Although we have a large following, it does not create the revenues and profits needed to bring substantial value to the company's shareholders," he said. "We have decided to sell the political assets and pursue potential acquisitions of other, more growth-oriented businesses."
Online shopping fills the bill
More than half the online consumers surveyed by Roper Starch (http://www.roper.com/) say they are making purchases online. Over half of the survey's respondents (56 percent) say that they currently shop online, nearly double the percent of those who did in 1998 (31 percent). The percent of users who say they intend to shop online during that period has doubled from 14 percent in 1998 to 28 percent today. The America Online-commissioned research project also reported strong interest in an Internet appliance, a product AOL will introduce before the end of the year. More than half of the users said they would be interested in using such a gizmo to go online from a room in their house.
Intel shopping tool debuts on SharperImage.com
Just in time for Christmas, Sharper Image SHRP has relaunched its Web site using technology from Intel Corp. INTC, -0.12% which strives to make online shopping more mall-like. The "dynamic browser" makes product pitches based on which items customers click on first and on data from past visits to the company's site. "One of the best features of Dynamic Browsing is that customers can see a wide variety of products with just a click," said Kathryn Grant, senior manager of the retailer's Internet strategy.
AOL tops 25 million subscribers
In its second report on subscribership in less than a week, America Online AOL said the worldwide membership of its online service has passed 25 million. Last week, in its quarterly earnings report, AOL said it had 24.6 million subscribers at the end of September. The company said its international services "experienced record-breaking growth" and usage, without detailing the numbers. Last week's report had the number of international users in Europe and Latin America at about 4 million. AOL said it is also introducing the next version of its access software this week, version 6.0, offering new features and support for broadband.
AOL Europe announced a joint venture today with Latin American financial group Banco Santander Central Hispano STD, +0.13% to offer AOL services in Spain. The partnership will distribute 500,000 Internet appliances to selected Banco Santander customers.

Plastic Window Insulation
A low-cost way to stop window drafts quickly.
Each winter, we install plastic window insulation on the windows we spend the most time next to or which leak cold air. In the spring, we take the plastic down.
Plastic window insulation is highly effective at keeping out drafts around older or poorly installed windows. If you can feel a draft near your window, a window insulation film should take care of it. (Try different ways to check for small window drafts.) Best of all, it's barely visible.
It takes about 10 minutes to cover a window. It's even quicker if you've saved the plastic from the previous year since it's already cut to fit.
The picture on the left shows a window with the plastic installed.
Advantages: Stops drafts without much cost or trouble. Very effective. If you need to open the window, the tape is pretty forgiving—you can often pull the plastic to one side temporarily.
Drawbacks: A pain to open the window. Can't set your coffee on the window sill. Need to take down in spring and reapply next winter. Tape may not be friendly to all window or wall surfaces—always test! (We've never had it damage the high-gloss paint on our frames.)
Applying Plastic Window Insulation
- Clean the surfaces where you will apply the tape and let them dry.
- Measure the window and cut the plastic a couple of inches larger on each side than you need. You can easily cut the excess plastic off.
- Apply the two-sided tape that came with the plastic window insulation. Before you remove the backing, you may want to rub your fingers over it to warm it so the glue sticks better.
- Put the plastic over the window with the tape holding it in place. You can remove the plastic and reapply or adjust as necessary.
- Make sure the plastic is stretched evenly and that all of the edges are sealed with the two-sided adhesive tape.
- Most brands of plastic window insulation recommend using a blow-dryer to heat and make the plastic shrink. This removes any wrinkles. We skip this step since we usually don't have many wrinkles, and want to save the plastic for the following year.
At the end of the winter, you can save the plastic and discard the tape. There's usually enough extra two-sided tape in the original kit to reapply next year. If you need more tape, you can buy individual replacement rolls without buying another full kit.
Caulking windows offers a more permanent solution but may not stop all leaks. For example, you can't caulk parts where the window slides open. New windows are another option but are very, very expensive.
Plastic window insulation is a quick and effective fix for increased savings and home comfort. Once the windows are done you'll want to take a look at outside caulking, plumbing penetrations, and your attic for more savings.

Angels Part Two (Please READ or re-read part one on angels first) https://chefk.wordpress.com/2012/04/10/angels-watching-over-me/
Revelation 8:2 King James Version (KJV) And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
Many are seeking the assistance of angels in their lives, believing that angels lead and guide their every step in their day to day lives. Seeking and seeing angels in most of what they must do in their daily lives. So it is imperative that we get to understand who or what these angels may or may not be, and to understand those who portray themselves as guides to the realm of angels.
Many refuse any longer to be labeled as the followers of the occult as such but rather as "New Age thinkers" when in fact there is nothing new in it, They believe they are communication with angels but are in fact in communication with the occult and the demonic hordes. There many who present themselves as guides through communication with angels these angels becoming their "spirit guides"? These guides are assigned at conception as "angels" but rather than guide us to life in Christ these guides lead us down the path of death and destruction and in fact that is their very assignment as they are demonic and not angels.Death and destruction is their primary goal, the sooner they can accomplish this the better, if they can convince a mother into aborting an unborn child they shall do so, accomplishing their assignment before the child is born.
Some believe these guides are dear depart loved ones, ascended masters" or unseen helpers with only the best intentions for your life, however the facts are very different, they are not guides or ministering spirits but demonic and very evil, attempting to deceive people into believing the exact opposite. 2 Corinthians 11:14-15- And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
So we must clearly know and understand with whom we are communicating, the fallen angels are servants of Satan. True angels of the Lord will only act upon instruction of the Lord and His Word. No-one can order an angel to do anything for any reason, if anyone believes that they have power over angels they are deluded and will eventually find themselves in grave problems, be assured that the angels they command are the fallen angels who are playing upon the persons guile. Psalm 103:20- Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. For this reason we teach ourselves to speak the Word of God, so that those angels of the Lord assigned to us (which there are many) will find the we are in agreement with the Lord and His Word and they are then free to carry out their assignment.
The Word when spoken brings the spirit into line with that Word and brings life. Death and destruction lie in the power of the tongue, as is life and liberty. John 6:63 Good News Translation (GNT) What gives life is God's Spirit; human power is of no use at all. The words I have spoken to you bring God's life-giving Spirit.
The fallen angels, familiar spirits, and other demonic forces have but one assignment, to separate you from God and His love for you. Any technique they can employ to complete this assignment is exactly what they will use. We commit that we will fight them in every arena and we will win the battle. We must be fully confident of this: Romans 8:37-39 -Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Revelation makes mention that there are seven angels; occult circles teach that they are able to communicate with these angles. So then who are they, look at an ancient book (considered a holy book yet not a of the bible) the book of Enoch. Much of what is known regarding angels and demons can be found within its pages. However if scripture does not back what you find there stay with scripture.
ENOCH Chapter 20
And these are the names of the holy angels who watch.
1 Uriel, [ also called Auriel and Oriel meaning, "God is my light" ] one of the holy angels, who is over the world and over Tartarus.
2 Raphael, [ meaning, "It is God who heals" ] one of the holy angels, who is over the spirits of men.
3 Raguel, [ meaning, "Friend of God" ] one of the holy angels who takes vengeance on the world of the luminaries.
4 Michael, [ meaning "who is like God" also viewed as the field commander of the Army of God ] one of the holy angels, to wit, he that is set over the best part of mankind and over chaos.
5 Saraqael, [ also Sariel meaning, "Command of God" ] one of the holy angels, who is set over the spirits, who sin in the spirit.
6 Gabriel, [ a messenger from God, "Strength of God" ] one of the holy angels, who is over Paradise and the serpents and the Cherubim.
7 Remiel, [ A Watcher ] one of the holy angels, whom God set over those who rise from the dead, in effect the angel that watches over those that are to resurrect.
Here we find the names of the seven archangels, yet we know from scripture that they were many thousands more angels of differing types. The Scriptures reveal that God created nine orders of angels: Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones, Dominations, Principalities, Powers, Virtues, Archangels, and Angels. So there are two angels classes the fallen and the heavenly. The fallen are as they were in heaven (holding the same position in their fallen state) except they have changed that state from good to evil. Jude 6 -And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Depending on the circumstance "the angel of the Lord" could be any one of the ones above, yet at any situation each angel will deliver their message from God with the fact that it is the Lord who has spoken and nothing less. THEY SPEAK THE WORD. Psalm 103:20 – Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
There are many very false medians that wander the globe, presenting themselves as knowledgeable and in constant communication with various types of fallen angels both great and small. However these diviners "are" not in communication with angels but rather with the evil fallen angels. Notice the nine listed above (I highlighted their names meaning) they only do what God commands and they only speak His Word, anything else, or anything that does not line up with the Word of God is absolutely false. 2 Corinthians 11:13-14 – For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. The Lord does assign angels to watch and keep us on our life's journey; in fact Jesus had to overcome one of Satan's temptations regarding this fact, the devil quoted scripture in his attempt but failed because Christ quoted the life filled Word. Luke 4:9-12 – And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:10 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:11 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Jesus knew that there is powerful truth found in Psalms 91:11 (what devil quoted) but to misuse the assignment of the angels would be considered a lure to trap the Lord which He could not do (nor should we) which is exactly what we attempt to do when falsely attempt communication with true guardian angels.
Believing and communication with the supernatural is the right of every Christians that communication is with God and the Holy Spirit through the name of Jesus. This is a great honor, so much so that even those fallen angels are envious and tremble at the thought. A conversation with a fallen angel is simply a conversation of lies. Christ gave them no place, nor should we. Mark 1:34 – And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him. They knew Him, do they know you, for just as Jesus is so are you when you believe and walk in the Spirit of God. 1 John 4:17 – Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
Jesus gave no place to fallen angels, in fact He spoke and they listened to Him. They want you to believe that they carry great power over you when in fact you are the one who carries the power over them in the name of Jesus. These fallen angels know God and fear God and fear those who know the Power of the Word of God when spoken with the authority of the name of Jesus. James 2:19, "You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble!"
Why is it dangerous for anyone to have communication with such spirits? Simply because these spirits will bring destruction to your relationship with God. They are master liars; they can place small grains of truth into your conversation which gives them a disguise of being genuine, while knowing that they are not. As they have been assigned at conception they have knowledge of an individual that no-one else does or can, so they are able to do and say things that are convincing, yet false or destructive. God clearly warns against having any communication with such because of their ability to deceive, He knows once the familiar spirit has a grip upon a person it is very difficult for that person to be set free, as they continue to seek more and even more of the deceiving lies the familiar sows within their heart. Deuteronomy 18:10-14 – There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.13 Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God.14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.
When looking at verse 13, the word translated as "prefect" here is the Hebrew word "tamam" which means "being complete, blameless, without as blemish, full of integrity" the walking with familiar spirits pollutes a person and draws them away from God and into darkness. When you look at the chart of spirits in part one of this writing you see that the familiar spirit is an angel (fallen one) that is assigned to us at birth, for this reason they have vast knowledge of our lives and can even appear to others as us, especially after our death while they grieve. This is how they deceive, but God wants us to walk with Him, trust Him to lead us, He will guide us.
Remember that a familiar spirits goal is to get you to believe them rather than God, thus they get us to believe in them at very early ages. Every child knows that witches have brooms to fly in moonlit nights through the sky. They have big cauldrons in which they make potions from herbs, dried animal parts, mushrooms and other such ingredients. They use flying ointment and dust to leave the earth, through the chimney. They have black cats as pets, or toads which they consider special (familiar) spirits. And that witches do wear the black pointy hats which is known to raise energy frequencies. They have imps and familiar spirits that do their bidding. Is it any wonder that the witch costume is the number one costume of the Halloween celebration? The deception of Halloween is the high day of worship for Satan and his devils, which includes familiar spirits, in actuality this is worship of false gods. Every child knows Halloween and and what it means, yet do these same children know and love God. Proving the deception Satan has sowed within the nations and the hearts of the children therein. Deuteronomy 11:16 -Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
Why is the communication with familiar spirits detestable to God, He is the Father and as such desires no harm to come to His children, all this communication with destructive spirits only brings confusion and hurt to God's child and could eventually lead to destruction.
The great thing is, that once you know Jesus and are filled with the Holy Spirits these spirits and those who practice communications with such spirits fear you. I recall a day when I took my family to Los Angeles for a Christmas vacation, as we walked down the famous Venice Beach we began to approach a woman who had a table with tarot cards and crystal balls offering to tell anyone's fortune. Suddenly she saw me coming toward her, she jump up and began screaming at me "stay away from me, stay away from me" very quickly she packed up her cards and crystal balls, folded her table and literally ran away down the beach and left the area. I didn't even say a word; the presence of the Lord upon us was enough to drive her away. The power of the Lord within a believer is always greater than any power of a fallen spirit, demon or Satan himself. The communication with familiar spirits will eventually lead to death and destruction as one is lead further and further away from God and deeper and deeper into the grip of deception. It matters not who you are; communication with such always leads to destruction. Look at what happened to King Saul for doing exactly this, 1 Chronicles 10:13-14(a) – So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the Lord, even against the word of the Lord, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it; And enquired not of the Lord.
Communing with these familiar spirits is nothing less than idolatry and witchcraft which we have been clearly warned that this will lead us into destruction. Our lives are best when we follow the assignment best suited to us, that of following the Holy Spirit. No fallen angels, no spirit guide, no shaman, no familiar spirit, no clairvoyant, no witch or warlock can provide you the powers of living life as the Holy Spirit can.
Galatians 5:19-24 – Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
The Holy Spirit helps, inspires, and strengthens us. Ephesians 3:16—That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man.
The Holy Spirit guides us and gives us understanding of God's Word. John 16:13—However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
The Holy Spirit enhances our relationship with the Lord. John 14:26—But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
The Holy Spirit empowers our witness to others. Acts 1:8—But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me.
The Holy Spirit gives us spiritual gifts. 1 Corinthians 12:8–10—For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, (9) to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, (10) to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues.
Ephesians 1:10-14 – That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: 12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

I've spent the majority of my life in Hawaii, so this recent move sure is changing things up. I thought it would be fun to explore and share some facts from both states. A little way to say goodbye to one & to welcome in the other.
Lets start simple. Like with their names! Montana is derived from the Spanish word "montaña" meaning "mountain" or more broadly "mountainous." Hawaii is derived from the proto-polynesian word "Hawaiki" meaning "place of the gods" or "Homelands." Now Hawaii, I get it, we had our Hawaiian mythology, but Montana's name is pretty spot on! That state is very mountainous! Big, giant, powerful, & strong mountains. Hawaii's name, to me, is something that is more so felt spiritually. & some people don't ever get to feel that.
Montana has had dinosaur eggs found on egg mountain that closely resembles mammals & birds rather than reptiles. In Bozeman, MT the museum of the rockies houses the largest collection of dinosaur remains in the US. They have the skull of the largest Tyrannosaurus ever discovered. That is something I'm definitely wanting to see while we live there. I think eventually Braedyn will probably think its neat to see also.
In Hawaii we have a happy face spider. Or scientifically known as the Theridion Grallator. They are a yellow bodied spider w/markings that resemble a happy face. Each of the spiders differ slightly depending on what island they are on. Might be that they are adapting differently to their surroundings. I have never personally see one. Spiders are still bigs even if they have cute smiles on them. So I probably don't need to see it anyways!
Apparently, Montana has more cattle in testate than they do Humans. Isn't that crazy?! But @ least I know that we won't be going hungry anytime soon!
Hawaii is one big melting pot. That's why we call it things like "chop suey." You got all ingredients thrown together all mixed up in one big dish. Same as Hawaii. There is no racial minority because there are just so many races coming together in the pacific.
Well there is a few facts about my old home, and my new home! I hope you guys enjoyed reading the blog post! Have a blessed day!

Accidents Caused By Distracted Drivers
Talking on a cellphone without a hands-free device is illegal in Washington state. Unfortunately, many drivers continue to make calls and engage in other distracting behaviors while on the road.
If you or a loved one was injured by a distracted driver, you are entitled to compensation. At the Everett, Washington, law office of Cogdill Nichols Rein Wartelle Andrews (CNRWA), our attorneys have recovered millions of dollars on behalf of car accident victims throughout the state. We will help you maximize your recovery.
Motor vehicles are large, heavy machines that travel at high speeds, and car accidents continue to be one of the leading causes of death and injury. Drivers should dedicate their full attention to the road in an effort to avoid accidents and injuries. However, many people are distracted while behind the wheel. The result: serious and even fatal accidents occur.
Common distracted behaviors include:
After being injured in a car accident, it may be tempting to accept your insurance company's initial settlement offer. But beware. Insurance companies are only interested in one thing: their bottom line. Claims adjusters often undervalue accidents in an attempt to settle your claim as cheaply as possible.
At CNRWA, our car accident lawyers are highly experienced. We know what your claim is worth and fight to get you the compensation you deserve. We will fight to ensure the recovery you receive fully compensates you for your current and future medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
You only have one chance to recover compensation after an accident. Contact CNRWA to maximize your claim. Call us at 425-259-6111. Consultations are free.

You'll need to provide us with additional documents. Stay alert for requests and notifications from your loan officer. In addition to your loan officer, you'll need to work with several third-party service providers. You'll have the opportunity to shop for and compare prices on some of these services.
Submit Documents and Answer Requests From Your Loan Officer
Once you've decided to proceed with a loan, we will need to review your financial information carefully. You may be asked to provide additional financial information and to submit documents to verify the information you previously reported.
- Gather your documents. Keep all of your documents in one place so you won't have to waste time looking for them if we need more information.
- Submit your documents. Ask your loan officer for precise instructions on how and where to submit the information. Submit copies. Keep your originals.
- Confirm that the right person has received your documents.
- Be proactive and responsive to your loan officer.
- Do not submit incomplete documents.
Schedule a Home Inspection
Once you've chosen a home, you may want to schedule a home inspection appointment. You want to have plenty of time to resolve any problems. You should choose the home inspector yourself and plan to pay the inspector directly at the time of service. If the home inspector is being paid by someone else or not paid until closing, the inspector might underemphasize any problems with the home.
If repairs are needed, you may want to negotiate with the seller about who should make or pay for the repairs. Depending on the terms of your purchase contract and local market conditions, the seller may or may not agree to pay for the repairs. If your purchase contract is contingent on a satisfactory inspection, you have the right to cancel the sale without penalty if you are not satisfied with the results of the inspection.
Shop for Homeowner's Insurance
Homeowner's insurance protects you in case of accidental damage to your home. We require you to have homeowner's insurance as a condition of your loan. You can choose your homeowner's insurance company.
- Contact several companies to get quotes in writing. Compare the cost and coverage amounts. See how your premium would change if you increase the deductible.
- Consider the reputation of the company. If something happens to your home, you want to be well covered.
Look Out for Revised Loan Estimates
As we work to verify the information in your loan application, you may receive revised Loan Estimates. These new Loan Estimates indicate that something important has changed about the loan and its costs. Common reasons you may receive a revised Loan Estimate include:
- The home was appraised at less than the sales price.
- You requested a rate lock after the lender issued the original Loan Estimate.
Review Documents Before Closing
Closing can be stressful. You may be getting ready to move. There's a lot going on, and a lot of paperwork to go over and sign. Make things easier on yourself by reviewing the documents in advance.

Not cheesy, only sweet. How fun to never have a dull moment in your house - I love being aroung Ryan too, always so funny! Patrick and I were just talking the other day about how much more we love each other now than we did when we got married and we loved each other so much then!! It's crazy how big the love gets when you start a family together.
Oh, and it's a good thing Patrick's the one with the career in our family too. :) I got no drive for that stuff.

You and Ryan always are so happy together! I am sure he feels so lucky to have you as his wife. And to still love eachother when only getting 3 hrs of sleep...thats true love haha!

awww...i love keeping up with you guys and thinking about all the pre-marriage drama! haha.

Good job on your shout out. I know all hubbies need to hear that every once in a while whether it's cheesey or not. I feel the exact same way about my husband.

- Brenda said...
I guess it would be appropriate to validate all you said about my son, and while I do, I want you to know Erica that you are a big reason he is the husband and father he is. Your love,support, and unconditional acceptance allows Ryan to be the best he can be for you. I'd say the two of you make one really great dream team....not to mention great genes (not "jeans" Ryan), for making one amazing little girl!
- February 5, 2009 at 1:25 PM
- Carrie said...
Yay for love. I totally agree...husbands becoming fathers is a super attractive thing! Isn't life so great? It's so cool. I'm glad you married Ryan too, I dig him.
p.s. on a slightly different subject, but also slightly connected...your children becoming siblings is super cute. I LOVE watching my kids be good brothers to each other...especially when they play with the youngest brother. It's really great.
- February 5, 2009 at 11:19 PM
- Amy said...
Gag! Totally just kidding! You guys are cute. I also think it's amazing to see a husband become a father. And, I think it gets better with each child. Yes, I remember all the pre-marriage drama too. Glad you were able to see through all that. We love Ryan too, and you of course and Camryn of course.

Today Aspergers has me beaten...Today of all days. World Autism Day when I had a beautiful post planned to shine a light on Autism and all it's beauty, when I had planned to tell you all a thousand positives and reflect on all I have learnt on my journey and how Aspergers has made me and my family, better,stronger people.
Instead I feel battered. My heart hurts and I can not think of one good thing to tell you.
Pierce has had a crap day , starting this morning with a massive meltdown due to having a relief teacher.After what seemed like an eternity but was only minutes of him clinging to me begging No.No.No. I left him in full blown meltdown.His Aide running to lock the library doors to keep him safe while promising me he would be ok and to go.go.go. My last glimpse was of his face pressed hard against the glass door. His hands clawing as if he could dig his was through to me and the safety of home. I left, with every single part of me aching to whisk him away. He has barely held on all day and has cried and screamed ever since I picked him up an hour ago. His eyes are raw his teeth are clenched,he is on the edge and already refusing to go to school tomorrow, even though his usual teacher will be back.He is holding the palm of his hand over his heart silently counting his heart beat in case this too fails him. I am worried that pushing him to stay at school today has backfired and instead of teaching him that relief teachers are ok and he can survive it, he is now full of fear and a hatred for school. Have I let him down? He seems broken.I have let him down.
His older brother Ryan is struggling too. It is the last week of term and he is tired.Tired of fitting in, tired of struggling to make sense of a curriculum not designed for his beautiful mind, tired of holding it together when he too wants to fall apart.
My eldest Shaun is over both of them and the drama,the screaming, the constantly having to give in to them.He is retaliating...he is baiting them which is of course being met with anger of epic proportions.
I am exhausted from the stress of wondering all day if Pierce was OK and dreading everything I am dealing with now.
In another hour I will pick my beautiful daughter Darcy up from Preschool. I will be told she has had a beautiful day. She probably has but I know that beautiful day will also have been a day of silence with her teachers having to entice a couple of tiny whispered words from her perfect mouth.Maybe there were no words and as we leave and walk to the car and she will finally spill all the words she has been swallowing all day I will hear her friends remark things like *I didn't know Darcy could talk* or *Darcy doesn't use her words*. I will praise her for her drawings and her craft and inwardly sigh and wonder why my gorgeous girl won't talk at school and then I will spiral into fear and dread at the thought of our appointment with the Psychologist that is closing in as I mark off the days on the calendar. I want to help her but I don't want to do all this again.
Aspergers has me beaten and I want to crawl into my bed under the covers, much like Pierce is doing now. I want to sleep and sleep.I want to wake up and find that someone else has cooked dinner and put my children to bed and dealt with the rigours and rituals that accompany meals and bedtime routines in our house. I want someone else to tuck Ryan up tight 15 times and assure him he is safe. I want someone else to give them their meds so that is one less thing I have to feel guilty about.
Noone else will.I will and I will get through tonight and I will eventually get it all done. I will wake tomorrow refreshed and with today a little less fresh in my mind. I will hope that tomorrow is better and I can once again see the beauty in Autism. Hopefully tomorrow I will win.
My blue light is ready and I will proudly and boldly shine it for my boys and maybe for my daughter and for all of my friends and their beautiful children who live with Autism daily. I will flick that switch and I will know that Aspergers does not have me beaten, not today, not any day.
Please follow the link to my blog roll for 30 Days of Autism. Support these wonderful parents who have dedicated their time to raising awareness.

Please join us this Sunday, Aug. 8 at 2 pm for the third lecture in
our series RIVER. AIR. ACTION.
Susan Falzon on Industry in Our Midst: A Citizen's Guide
Free admission
The view from Beattie-Powers Place is beautiful. But just a few miles up the
Hudson in Ravena, the giant La Farge cement plant looms, emitting a long list of
toxins into the atmosphere. Shockingly, across the street from the plant, 2000
children attend the local school. The quintessential "company town," Ravena's
economy largely depends on La Farge. But serious health concerns lurk. Now,
with the a much-needed modernization of the plant a real possibilty, the question
is: how to hold La Farge to the strictest environmental standards possible, so
that industry and the community around it all benefit?
Using the proposed La Farge plant modernization as an example, our speaker
Susan Falzon will discuss opportunities for individual and community involvement
that could positively impact the outcome in Ravena, and communities like it -- so
that people and industry can coexist , and even thrive.
Susan Falzon has been active in local and national environmental issues since
1998, is Director of Friends of Hudson since August 2005, and has been a
leading force in the effort to make the Ravena plant a model of environmental

Recently our artist had the opportunity to experience the newly launched Microsoft Surface Pro4. From our experience with the previous Surface Pro 3, with many improvements over previous Microsoft Surface Pro3, this is Microsoft's most refined piece of hardware yet.
With this new model's larger screen size with much higher resolution, and also some serious upgrades with its Surface Pen for the best stylus functions, these huge improvements certainly will make a world of difference in answering the question of whether Microsoft's tablet can replace one's laptop.

It has taken me so long to get here, but I have finally made it. I am standing on a small ledge jutting out of the rocky face of the mountain. The clouds, instead of floating above me, swirl in the wind below my feet. There are no trees, no plants just me, the clouds, the mountain and the doll.
It is floating away from me, releasing its own bright white light, shining out against the white clouds and pale blue sky. It is dancing in the wind, taunting me, teasing me, making me need it even more than I know I do. The wind tugs at my hair, gently pulling it out through the breeze.
It looks too far to jump to get the doll, but I need it, my life almost depends on my getting that doll, grabbing its bright white form in my hand.
I close my eyes and breathe in the fresh mountain air, my heart beating hard and fast in my ears. Opening them again, I frown in determination, focusing on nothing but the glowing white doll. The clouds, the wind, the sky, they all leave my vision so that only the doll remains.
I lean back on the ledge and lunge myself into the air, stretching as far as my arms will let me. The wind takes hold of me, pulling me from the doll. I stretch harder, pushing myself to the doll, but I can't get a finger on it. I slowly begin to fall away from it, plunging through the wind, down to the clouds far below me. The wind streaks through my hair, sliding over my skin and playing with my clothes. I'm falling, falling…
Natasha awoke with a start, jerking in her bed as though she had just fallen. She groaned and looked over at her clock, the time again showing six forty three. She was beginning to get used to the dreams, but what she could not come to grips with were the jewels. Again, her fingers slid to her waist to run over the solid lumps of crystal.
She groaned again when she felt a new lump, a larger one, right below her belly button. She crawled out of bed and stared at the new jewel in the mirror. This one was a teardrop shape, and like the others, Natasha could see white winds and clouds swirling around inside it. Eleven crystals, filled with their own wind, shone out from the olive skin at her waist.
It was almost too much for her. Her almond eyes fogged up again with tears of fear and a sob jerked her stomach, making the crystals twinkle. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. It's real, Tash, she told herself, No matter how freakish it seems, the jewels are real. Get over it and get ready for school.
She dragged on her blue school dress, pulled on her brown socks and slid her feet into her shoes. Now, for the hair. Try but don't make it look like you've tried, that was how everyone did it, wasn't it? She pulled her silky black hair back into a loose ponytail, tied at the base of her neck, and pulled a few strands free to let them flop over her shoulders. It was tempting to hook the strands behind her ears to keep it out of her eyes, but nobody did that.
Again she fingered the jewels at her waist, namely the newest of the eleven, the teardrop below her belly button. She sighed and made her way to the kitchen, had breakfast and slung her school bag over her right shoulder and headed off for another lonely day at school.
Natasha had been a loner since year eight, when her three friends she'd had since she first changed schools in year five dumped her. She still had no idea why. Before then, she had been a happy, perky girl, but now, she was shy and reclusive, barely ever saying anything. Whatever she did say, the other girls in the class always gave her the feeling as though she'd just told them she had a pet snail called Puss. She figured it was probably best to just keep her mouth shut. She was always thought of as being a Square, though she had no idea why. After all, her marks were nothing special. She always wished she could make friends, but she could never bring herself to start a conversation.
All through the bus ride to school she thought about the jewels and the dream, her fingers constantly at her waist. There was no doubt in her mind that the two were somehow connected.
The English lesson just floated by. Natasha had no real interest in Shakespeare, the language was too confusing and even if she had never read the play before, she knew the ending. This was a tragedy play—everyone was going to die, whether they liked it or not. Natasha almost smiled at the irony. She had now died three times over in pursuit of a glowing white doll.
"You okay?" came a voice behind her at the end of the lesson. She turned around to see the concerned blue eyes of Elly, one of her classmates. "You've been rubbing your stomach all lesson, you don't want to go to the sick bay do you?"
Natasha smiled reassuringly. "Nah, I'm fine, just been having bad dreams. Woken me up three nights in a row now." Okay Tash, you can stop talking now, she doesn't care about your nightmares. She stood up and picked up her books, ready to move onto Geography.
"You sure you're okay?" asked Elly's friend, Charlotte. Natasha missed the glance the two friends exchanged at the mention of her dreams.
"Yeah, I'm fine, just tired."
She wished she could say more, she wished she could tell them everything, absolutely everything, but she knew she couldn't. They wouldn't believe her, they'd think she was even more of a freak than they would have thought before.
She took her seat, ready to learn about tropical cyclones and was shocked to find that Charlotte and Elly took their seats next to her. And there were still seats left in the room too. People were actually sitting next to her out of choice. The only reason anyone had sat next to her in the past three years was because there were no other seats left, or because the teacher made them switch seats to make them stop talking, never out of choice.
"So what was your dream about?" Elly queried, opening her pencil case.
Natasha debated whether or not to tell them. Could they seriously be interested in it? Eventually she gave a basic rundown of it, keeping it down to two or three sentences so as not to bore them. If this was going to be her opportunity to make friends, she wasn't going to let it slip by simply because they thought she was boring.
When she'd finished, she looked up, surprised to find that her two companions were far from bored. They were really paying attention, as if urging her to continue. This must be a trick, Natasha thought, they're playing a trick on you, making you feel as though you're wanted. Then they'll laugh about it behind your back.
Elly took out a pen and opened her Geography book. The hesitated a moment, then drew a teardrop shape with two arcs of three circles coming out of the top. It was the same pattern as the crystals made on Natasha's stomach.
"Does that mean anything to you?" Elly asked, her hand shaking slightly.
A shiver ran up Natasha's spine. "Um, yeah, sorta," she stammered. How could she possibly know? Just at that moment the Geography teacher walked in, telling everyone to get out their books and to hand in their assignments.
Elly sighed, as though she was thinking. "Meet us in the toilets at the beginning of lunch time, before you get changed from PE." She hesitated again. "We've got something to show you."
All through Geography, recess and PE, Natasha could think of nothing but what Elly had told her, even more so what she had shown her. Had Elly been woken up by the same dream? Did she have the jewels too? She definitely knew something, and from the way Charlotte was watching her as she told of her dream, she must know something too.
The need to understand what was happening to her was like an itch on her back that she couldn't reach. Her PE lesson seemed to go on forever, glancing at her watch every five minutes, annoyed to realise it hadn't been twenty as it had felt. Finally the lesson disassembled and the girls were told to leave their tennis racquets in the PE shed and head off to lunch. Natasha almost ran to the toilets in her eagerness to know.
Elly and Charlotte were already there, talking intently about something. They both smiled at Natasha, but their smiles didn't reach their eyes. Charlotte ushered Natasha into the larger disabled toilet, then walked in herself, followed by Elly. After locking the door, they both lifted their PE shirts.
Natasha's eyes filled with tears and she launched forward to hug the two girls. She wasn't alone.

No More Hazardous Exposure to Smoke
This petition had 7,939 supporters
Today I walked into school watching dozens of students wearing dust masks and many more coughing. No, this is not just a petition so that students can get off school and have a free day; this is to secure the health and wellbeing that we all deserve. The effects of this wildfire smoke is much worse than we think, aside from already exacerbating the damages of those with lung conditions (i.e asthma, lung disease), this wave of chemicals is deteriorating the health of everybody.
Beneath the minor aggravating health effects- itchy eyes, stuffy nose, and nauseating odor-, online articles are reporting that the new influx of smoke will be devastating to our students: "They go deep into the lungs, to the alveoli, and the smallest ones can even get into the bloodstream." (KQED Bay Area News) As a result, everybody will be subject to horrible long term health conditions, as this fire smoke directly causes bronchitis, pneumonia, and in extreme cases- heart attacks and strokes.
While these pernicious health conditions may not be visible now, if we continue to expose our students to conditions- already deemed hazardous by the National Air Quality Index (http://google.org/crisismap/google.com/2017-tubbs-fire) our students will begin to develop alarming symptoms that will greatly harm them.
We understand that the Fremont School District is trying their best to prevent exposure to these dangerous conditions (i.e prevent after school activities, sending messages to parents about the harmful smoke), and we understand that many in the educational department have their student's best interests at heart, but students are still being subject to these toxins every single day.
Even if their children are being heavily affected by the smoke, parents are unwilling to allow students to stay home, in fear that students will miss out on important tests or assignments in school- this goes for the students themselves as well.
Why should students have to choose between academics and their health?
Give students the choice to protect their safety and wellbeing, stop sending our kids outside in chemical smoke now.
For a list of credible sources used in this argument:

This weekend Andy and I headed to Cincinnati for my good friend Kelly's wedding.
The evening started with the wedding ceremony outside overlooking the river and downtown Cincinnati:
Kelly look absolutely beautiful walking down the aisle with her dad.
I was overwhelmed with all sorts of feelings as this is a friend I have known since the 7th grade. We've been through so much together. I still can't believe my friend is married now! It's hard to believe the days of making up dances in the living room of our parent's houses are long gone and we are all grown up.
The ceremony was short, yet incredibly sweet and heartfelt. Kelly's older sister, Holly, served as Maid of Honor and her two adorable daughters served as flower girls:
After the ceremony we went inside for the reception. The room was beauitful, filled with green decorations, the color Kelly chose for her wedding and the bridesmaid's dresses:
Dinner and Drinks
Dinner was delicious and there was a choice between chicken and steak. I chose the chicken which had a marsala sauce. It was served with mashed potatoes and veggies. Along with our main course we also had salad and rolls. Everything was great!
The open bar was in full force and our table was sat right next to it. I'm positive Kelly did that on purpose. She knows her friends so well 😉
We spent the evening eating, dancing, and taking pictures in the photo booth. I've seen these photo booths at a few weddings now and I think they are such a great idea! Plus they are hilarious once everyone's had some drinks…the pictures get a bit more creative!
I think the dancing was the highlight of the evening. We were non-stop!
I was happy that I got to spend the evening with some of my best girlfriends. Some of us have been friends for nearly two decades…crazy!!
The wedding was so much fun and I was so thrilled to be a part of Kelly and Keith's big day! Congrats K and K!
On Saturday morning Andy and I enjoyed the complimentary breakfast at the hotel with Kelly and some other guests who spent the night. The breakfast was awesome as it was cooked-to-order…not just continental. After a night of drinking and dancing I wanted something a little greasy and filling. I opted for a veggie omelet, some home fries and half a bagel. It hit the spot!
We hit the road and headed back to Cleveland by late morning. Usually I stay longer in Cincinnati as my parents and brother live there but they are all at the beach in Emerald Isle, North Carolina! Luckily I'll be joining them next weekend for a week long vacation. Can't wait!
I was exhausted from the 4 hour ride and spent the rest of Saturday napping and hanging out at home with Andy. We decided on Chipotle for dinner as neither of us wanted to cook or go out. Take out it was!
Today I am planning on grocery shopping at Trader Joes and doing some cleaning around the house. I hope you are having a great weekend!
Do you have any weddings to attend this summer? I have three! Bring on the celebrations!

Two of the up-and-coming prospects in the Orioles organization, Double-A Bowie outfielder Dariel Alvarez and first baseman Christian Walker, are both expected to be promoted to Triple-A Norfolk following the Eastern League All-Star break this week.
The Orioles have yet to announce a roster move with either player, but the All-Star break is a common time for promotions to occur, and the sense throughout the organization is that the duo will join Norfolk later this week.
Alvarez participated in the Major League Baseball Futures Game on Sunday in Minneapolis. Walker has been selected to play in the Eastern League All-Star Game on Wednesday in Altoona, Pa.
Neither Alvarez nor Walker are listed among the Orioles' top 10 prospects, according to Baseball America, but both have made tremendous strides this season to become among the organization's top prospects.
Alvarez, a 25-year-old Cuban defector, is hitting .309/.332/.487 with 14 homers and 68 RBIs in 91 games for the Baysox. Originally signed to be a corner outfielder, Alvarez has flourished playing center field this season at Bowie, recording 10 outfield assists and posting a .987 fielding percentage.
Playing in his first full professional season in the United States, Alvarez also has been able to maintain his power numbers while limiting his strikeouts (35 in 381 plate appearances) at the Double-A level, which is considered a minor league proving ground.
Walker, the Orioles' fourth-round pick in 2012 out of South Carolina, is hitting .301/.369/.521 with 20 homers and 77 RBIs for the Baysox.
Playing in his second full professional season, Walker exceeded the organization's initial expectations in terms of his power numbers and has made dramatic strides defensively at first base, posting a .989 fielding percentage.

undulating gold — your hair
a blooming field of solstice
and rapeseed bloom
your eyes — a sky without a cloud
limitless perfume
wild roses bloom
your song is wheels of bicycles
on gravel roads
the two of us
a picnic basket
"We could swim"
your teeth are smiling ice.
by the lake the ducklings dip
and in their wake
your lips are sun-warm
Today Hannah shows wonderful images from Luoping County in Qujing Prefecture, Yunnan, China on toads. I was mostly inspired by the rapeseed bloom, and wrote a little poem that might be slightly sappy, but fits the season, where the rapeseed just have bloomed.

A Cat's Eye View
Author: Felicity Laws
I'm sure most devoted cat people have gazed in wonder as their pets sleep, watching the twitches, hearing the tiny whimpers, wondering where it is they go, what it is they do… well if Purrpinal is a guide it could be much more complex than an imaginary mouse chase.
This is a lighthearted look at the deep thoughts and considered suggestions of a cat who has enjoyed the best of the best in previous lifetimes and now finds himself deep in the Brittany countryside, assigned a rather inept although adoring, slave. His ideas touch on a furry revolution, current politics and potential solutions, the difficulty of finding suitable accommodation, purrmaculture and natural health.
With full colour photographs and unique chapter illustrations this is a book to enjoy many times over. I hope readers will have as much pleasure and fun reading it as I did in writing it.

The Tree Is Up!
It wasn't as enjoyable as it should have been, thanks to a certain person who has been tormenting me all day. I tried not to let it get to me, but I'm a feeling person and I have done nothing to deserve the personal bashing I have undergone today.
But the tree is pretty and the lights make me feel safe, I put Gramma's old glass ornaments up and it was nice to remember being a child in her house at Christmas time, the smells of cookies baking and the sounds of everyone laughing, I'd get to wear my pretty dress and shiny shoes and I'd use my good manners to the nth degree. :)
Sorry if there are typos, I get dyslexic when I get upset and I think I found them all, but I'm not sure.
Merry Christmas Everyone!
