Crew lists for British registered ships for the period after 1855 are scattered over more than 40 archives around the British Isles and elsewhere and are usually filed by the ship's official number.
This page is an index of the crew lists held in archives, including data from The National Archives (TNA) and the Maritime History Archive (MHA). The information has been drawn from the CLIP transcriptions or the archive catalogues.
If you do not know the ship's official number, you can search for ships by name or by port using our other search pages. The results they provide will link you back to this page.
The data covers all the archives known to hold crew lists for the period from 1845 to the 1950s. It is not complete, but contains over 1.15 million entries for the period 1860 to 1945, together with details of more than 6000 boxes of documents at TNA holding records for the period before 1860.
Please see the CLIP data page for more details on sources, the abbreviations we have used, and acknowledgements.On the search form, enter the official number as digits between 1 and 199,500. There is no provision for wild-card or fuzzy searches.
Then click
If you have linked to this page from other CLIP search pages, the appropriate official number will be part of the link.
Since official numbers are the main reference after 1860, the results for that period are presented first, followed by details of the TNA holdings for 1857 to 1860 which are also referenced by official numbers. There are also notes below about how to search for documents in the period before 1857.
The search returns the vessel's name, the archives holding the documents, the years for which they hold records and, if possible, the archive reference for the documents. If no years are shown against an archive, there are crew lists for that vessel but we do not have the dates. The index includes the log books held at TNA in BT 165.
If a transcript of the document(s) is available on this site, there will be a link against that year, but for most documents, you will need to contact the archives concerned to arrange to buy copies of the documents.
Where possible, the archive reference provides a link to the archive catalogue so that you can see the details of their holdings and how to order copies of the documents. Unfortunately, many archives use a catalogue system driven by software called DServe/CalmView which, when it is actually working, must be the most user-hostile software ever. Please see our further cautions below.
To contact archives where we have not been able to provide a catalogue link, please see our data page Documents by archive The heading for each archive provides a link to their web site.
Beware! CLIP data is far from complete and we are still adding to it. The absence of a record in our list does not mean that it isn't there in the archive.
Please use our index in conjunction with the MHA Crew List Index and the archive catalogue.
There are further snags to look out for:
All the crew lists for British registered ships for the period before 1860 are held at TNA in BT 98 - there are none elsewhere. They are stored in thousands of boxes (pieces), each holding dozens of documents.
From 1857 onwards, the crew lists are boxed by year and the ship's official number; for earlier lists the sorting is by port, year and then the ship's name.
This is TNA's research guide for their holdings of crew lists and their catalogue for BT 98.
You can order copies of a document from TNA, working from the BT 98 catalogue. However, we provide some tools below which will make it easy to identify the reference to the box you want, with a link to the correct place in TNA's catalogue.
There is an alternative and perhaps more convenient way to access these documents. The LDS Church filmed the records back in the 1970s and the images are available online on FamilySearch. The only snag is that they are only available at a FamilySearch Centre or a FamilySearch Affilate Library unless you are a member of the LDS Church.
Our general guide to how to find FamilySearch Centres and FamilySearch Affiliate Libraries and use the films is here: Finding FamilySearch films
From 1855, ships were allocated a unique official number, so the crew lists for the period 1857 to 1860 are boxed by year, then by official number. Documents for an official number may be in more than one box. Each box has a reference number and the catalogue shows the range of official numbers in each box so, for example, the crew lists for 1858 for the vessel Albion, with official number 1000 is likely to be in BT 98/5107, which holds official numbers 991 to 1050.
To find the appropriate reference number, you can consult TNA's catalogue, or (simpler) use the CLIP crew list tool in this section.
To obtain a copy of a document, you will have to visit TNA, employ a researcher to do so, or order a copy via TNA's catalogue page. Alternatively, you can use the FamilySearch films.
The catalogue page for the FamilySearch films of the 1857-1860 crew lists is here: FamilySearch films of BT 98 . Scroll down their page to see the list of films.
The crew lists are boxed by year, then by port of registry, and then in alphabetic order. There may be several boxes for one year and port, covering a range of ships names. For example, Aberystwyth ships with names starting D-H for 1851 are in BT 98/2382.
To find the appropriate reference number, you can consult TNA's catalogue, or (simpler) use the CLIP crew list tool in this section.
If you have found an entry for a seafarer in the registers of seamen, you can find details of the ship from the records of voyages. The ship may be named: if not it involves cracking the port rotation number/port codes using the CLIP port rotation number search page. If that is successful in finding the ship, it will also provide you with the BT 98 reference and a link to the FamilySearch images.
It may be possible to get an image by ordering via the TNA catalogue page, though you would need to bear in mind that the foreign-going lists in BT 98 often involve many documents for just one voyage. We have no experience of ordering documents in this way.

NMM have catalogued their holdings for 1861, 1862, 1865, 1875 and 1915 and our list includes that information. Apart from those years, they have no catalogue of their holdings.
If there are no documents at TNA (or elsewhere) for years ending in 5, 1861 or 1862, and there are crew lists for a following year, we have shown that there may be documents at NMM.
However, this is only a guess and you will need to check with NMM directly.
For documents held at TNA and MHA and some archives, click the archives reference button to look up their catalogue for that reference. This will give details of how to order copies of the documents.
For documents held at local archives, if we have a transcript of the document, there will be a link to the right.
BT98 covers official numbers up to 48130 so this ship was probably first registered after 1860 and it is unlikely that there will be records in BT98.
Crew documents from 1837 to 1856 are held in BT98 at TNA. The notes for this page provide more detail and further links.
The Maritime History Archive (MHA) Crew List Index shows the documents they hold (70% of the total) and their index also has much more extensive coverage of holdings in local archives in the United Kingdom.

BWAHAHAHAH! Hah, did you see what I did there? How I managed to keep a straight face? Hoo boy! [wiping eyes] Heehee!
Ok, seriously, let's count down the ways in which Wreckerators have managed to destroy the seemingly simple balloon, shall we?
1) Gravity Need Not Apply
I suppose you could say the writing is what's upside down, but even then those balloons look more like wrinkly piles of fresh paint than anything else. Yech.
2) Floaters, or Swimmers?
I see this problem a lot, and I don't think it's just 'cuz I have that V-day post on the brain.
It doesn't help when the "balloons" are swimming in a circle, either:
3) Too Small
4) Too big.
Multicolored swirls look, at best, like lollipops. At worst, we're facing the Teletubby poo debacle all over again.
6) "You may use any icing color in the kitchen. EXCEPT THIS ONE."
Ooh, could those be a gaggle of failing organs*, or perhaps hacky sacks made from old pantyhose? Here's hoping!!
Janice L., Nezuko, Troy K., Helen D., Jessica G., & Bex, thanks for taking us up, up and away.
* Geese, organs - they're practically interchangeable, right?

There is one specifically for aging and another for gang prevention work. Some are for planning and preservation issues. Yet another plans for the annual celebration of George Washingtons birthday.
In all, some 75 different citizen boards and commissions exist to advise the citys elected officials on all things Alexandria. Foreseeing difficulty in aligning more than six dozen groups efforts with their emerging strategic plan, two City Council members tendered an idea last month to rein in the panels, which take up city staff time and sometimes compete with one another.
In their April 21 memo to the rest of the City Council and top city officials, councilmen Rob Krupicka and Paul Smedberg, both Democrats, outlined a two-part plan to improve and streamline coordinated efforts of a city government that has receded to 2005 staffing levels.
To avoid a chronic, inefficient thinning of city staff resources and man-hours, they proposed requiring an annual report from each board and commission that details the accomplishments of the previous year and a plan of action for the short-term future.
The yearly report, which Smedberg said could be as succinct as a page or two, would require ties to the citys strategic plan and Council approval to move forward. The organized marching orders would allow city staff to build their own calendar and allocate resources accordingly, according to the memo.
To the extent a board or commission cant bring forward a meaningful work plan, Krupicka said, I think that sends a message to the Council to ask the question of whether or not that board should exist any more.
Councilman Frank Fannon, a Republican, said hes supportive of the idea and would look to identify and weed out inefficiencies in the way the boards and commissions operate.
The boards and commissions that we have in the city theres no need to have them in place if theyre not actively contributing to the needs that are there, Fannon said. He also agreed with the idea for an end-of-year report, but offered to go a step further and call for a mid-year report, too.
Currently, Council approves the members of its advisory groups, but the boards and commissions set off largely on their own from there.
The proposal closely resembles the Alexandria School Boards process of approving the scope of work for its advisory groups each school year.
Both Krupicka and Smedberg said the main goal is not to cut down on the number of boards and commissions, though it is a likely consequence over time. According to the memo, state and federal laws require less than 15 of the current roll.
The work Ive been doing over the last year to consolidate a number of our youth-oriented boards and commissions into one has demonstrated to me there is a lot of opportunity for better collaboration in the organization, Krupicka said.
Considering the groups varied nature, questions have come up relating to their necessity. Smedberg hopes the proposal would help them remain viable and relevant.
Some people look at the boards and commissions and ask openly, Well, what do they really do? Why do they even exist? Smedberg said. If we are going to have all of these groups, lets make sure theyre being proactive.
Its a natural progression in terms of boards and commissions that their work reflects the needs of the city currently, he said.
The second half of the memo sought to eliminate conflicts of interest for commission members and Council members.
Board and commission members who represent an organization that receives money through their commission would be prohibited from becoming voting members in the advisory group. A similar corollary was included for Council members that would preclude them from serving as voting members of boards or organizations that receive city funds.
Both authors said the restriction would be, first and foremost, a preventative measure.
Im not claiming anyones acted in an improper way, but Id rather err on the side of clear fiscal responsibility than put anybody in a position where theyre conflicted between two organizations when theyre making decisions about money, Krupicka said.
The proposal was sent to the city attorneys office to draft an ordinance that could come before the Council at its next legislative meeting.

Propecia is used for treating certain types of male pattern hair loss (androgenic alopecia) in men. Propecia is a steroid reductase inhibitor. It works by reducing the amount of the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the body. This may block certain types of hair loss in men.
Use Propecia as directed by your doctor.
- Take Propecia by mouth with or without food.
- Continue to take Propecia even if you notice improvement of your symptoms. Do not miss any dose.
- Taking Propecia at the same time each day will help your remember to take it.
- If you miss a dose of Propecia, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Propecia.
Store Propecia at room temperature, between 59 and 86 degrees F (15 and 30 degrees C). Store away from heat, moisture, and light. Do not store in the bathroom. Keep Propecia out of the reach of children and away from pets.
Active Ingredient: Finasteride.
Inactive Ingredients: lactose monohydrate, microcrystalline cellulose, pregelatinized starch, sodium starch glycolate, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose LF, titanium dioxide, magnesium stearate, talc, docusate sodium, yellow ferric oxide, and red ferric oxide.
Propecia can affect a blood test called PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) for the screening of prostate cancer. If you have a PSA test done, you should tell your doctor(s) that you are taking Propecia. Because Propecia decreases PSA levels, changes in PSA levels will need to be carefully evaluated by your doctor(s). Any increase in follow-up PSA levels from their lowest point should be carefully evaluated even if the test results are still within the normal range for men not taking Propecia. You should also tell your doctor if you have not been taking Propecia as prescribed because this may affect the PSA test results. For more information, talk to your doctor.

Vermont Drug Sweep Nets Two North Adams Women
RUTLAND, Vt. — Local, state and federal law enforcement agencies made a massive drug sweep in southwestern Vermont on Tuesday that has resulted in 20 arrests so far, including two North Adams, Mass., women.
One individual is still being sought and 10 more defendants are facing federal drug charges and will be prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's Office as a result of arrests that took place during the past several weeks.
Arrested were Cassie Morse, 26, and Shari Perras, 24, both of North Adams, both of whom are facing heroin charges.
All of these arrests were the culmination of enforcement efforts over the past year, specifically targeting those individuals involved in the distribution of illicit drugs. Drug enforcement efforts continue to focus on the heroin/opiate epidemic and distribution networks operating in Vermont communities.
The arrests were announced on Wednesday morning at a press conference in Rutland.
"These arrests involved people coming to Vermont from out of state and bringing heroin, and bringing crack but they also involve the local infrastructure that facilitates the sale of drugs in Vermont," said U.S. Attorney for Vermont Eric Miller at Wednesday's briefing. "Unless we continue to go after both of those groups, we're not going to be effective in combating this crisis."
Dozens of arrests have been made in the past 18 months of Vermonters and out-of-staters, mostly from Brooklyn, N.Y., he said, that have affected a loose organization of drug distribution.
"We think we made a significant dent in the organizations through these joint efforts," Miller said.
The Vermont Drug Task Force has worked collaboratively with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Drug Enforcement Agency, Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and local and county law enforcement agencies in southwestern Vermont to include state and federal prosecutors.
Arraignments will be held in the Bennington County Superior Court on Feb. 29 at 1 p.m and Rutland County Superior Court on March 7 at 1 p.m.
Chelsea Hill, 24 of Rutland, and Sherrie Fitzgerald, 52 of Rutland, will be arraigned at Rutland County Superior Court, Criminal Division on Feb. 19, at 1 p.m.
Charges listed below are single counts unless otherwise indicated:
State Defendants
- Colleen M. Keefe, 43: sale of cocaine
- Robert S. Grady, 34: sale of heroin, three counts
- Timothy B. Euber, 38: sale of heroin
- Casey Clifford, 22: sale of heroin, two counts; sale of fentanyl
- Anthony Courcelle, 21: sale of heroin
- Daniel Pyne, 30: sale of regulated drug (oxycodone)
- Jerry Crandall, 46: sale of cocaine, sale of regulated drug (oxycodone)
- Cassie Morse, 26: sale of heroin, two counts
- Candi Peters, 36: sale of heroin, two counts
- Shari Perras, 24: sale of heroin
- Andrew Onorato, 31: sale of heroin, two counts
- Chelsea Hill, 24: sale of heroin, two counts; conspiracy
- Sheri Fitzgerald, 52: sale of heroin, conspiracy
- Spencer Mumford, 23: sale of heroin
- Kevin Scully, 25: sale of cocaine
- Felicia Ackley, 28: sale of cocaine, two counts
- Christopher Nadeau, 26: sale of heroin
- William Manfredi, 36: sale of heroin
- Carlos Vasquez, 42: heroin trafficking, heroin transportation and conspiracy
- John Mason, 33: sale of heroin
Richard Winnie, 42: sale heroin
Federal Arrests
Kevin Williams (aka Cap, Capone), 42: sale of heroin, three counts
Jason Tiraboschi, 27: possession of a firearm
Amanda Gibbons, 31, arrested 12/31/15, Indicted 1/7/16, charged with three counts of distribution of heroin, each count carrying potential maximum sentence of 20 years.
Patrick Lorenzo, 33, arrested 1/12/16, Indicted 1/20/16, charged with one count of possession with intent to distribute heroin, carrying potential maximum sentence of 20 years.

Police Say Peru Man's Death Not Suspicious
WINDSOR, Mass. — The body of a Peru man was discovered in Windsor on Friday morning.
Investigators say the body of 62-year-old Thomas Keeley of East Windsor Road was found off River Road in Windsor about 8 a.m. Friday.
Police say the death does not appear to be suspicious at this time. The investigation is being conducted by state police detectives assigned to the district attorney's office.
Multiple Fire Departments Respond to Windsor Blaze
Flames could be seen coming from the roof of a home on Cheshire Road. |
WINDSOR, Mass. — Five local fire departments were braving frigid temperatures on Wednesday to battle a structure fire at 1061 Cheshire Road.
The blaze was reported at about 3:23 p.m. at the single-family home along the rural road near the town line with Cheshire.
Dalton, Savoy, Worthington and Plainfield volunteer fire departments responded to the scene along with Windsor firefighters.
The home is owned by a James Lewis, according to documents on file at the Registry of Deeds.
Adams Fire Department and Forest Wardens are standing by for Windsor, with a firetruck and a tanker from the Forest Wardens.
Cheshire and Lanesborough departments were also asked to respond at about 5:40 p.m. Peru and Hinsdale, which sent a bus with portable heaters, also responded.
The Red Cross was also going to the scene to provide assistance to the family, two adults and a child.
Red Cross officials say the Lewises are being provided with emergency shelter at a hotel and emergency funds for clothing, food, shoes and winter coats. They were also provided with "comfort kits," which contain toiletries like tooth brushes and razors.

On television, in interviews and in meetings with investors, executives of the biggest U.S. banks — notably JPMorgan Chase & Co. Chief Executive Jamie Dimon — make the case that size is a competitive advantage.
It helps them lower costs and vie for customers on an international scale. Limiting it, they warn, would impair profitability and weaken the country's position in global finance.
So what if we told you that, by our calculations, the largest U.S. banks aren't really profitable at all? What if the billions of dollars they allegedly earn for their shareholders were almost entirely a gift from U.S. taxpayers?
Granted, it's a hard concept to swallow. It's also crucial to understanding why the big banks present such a threat to the global economy.
Let's start with a bit of background. Banks have a powerful incentive to get big and unwieldy. The larger they are, the more disastrous their failure would be and the more certain they can be of a government bailout in an emergency.
The result is an implicit subsidy: The banks that are potentially the most dangerous can borrow at lower rates, because creditors perceive them as too big to fail.
Lately, economists have tried to pin down exactly how much the subsidy lowers big banks' borrowing costs. In one relatively thorough effort, two researchers — Kenichi Ueda of the International Monetary Fund and Beatrice Weder di Mauro of the University of Mainz — put the number at about 0.8 percentage point. The discount applies to all their liabilities, including bonds and customer deposits.
Big Difference
Small as it might sound, 0.8 percentage point makes a big difference. Multiplied by the total liabilities of the 10 largest U.S. banks by assets, it amounts to a taxpayer subsidy of $83 billion a year.
To put the figure in perspective, it's tantamount to the government giving the banks about 3 cents of every tax dollar collected.
The top five banks — JPMorgan, Bank of America Corp., Citigroup Inc., Wells Fargo & Co. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. – – account for $64 billion of the total subsidy, an amount roughly equal to their typical annual profits (see tables for data on individual banks).
In other words, the banks occupying the commanding heights of the U.S. financial industry — with almost $9 trillion in assets, more than half the size of the U.S. economy — would just about break even in the absence of corporate welfare.
In large part, the profits they report are essentially transfers from taxpayers to their shareholders.
Neither bank executives nor shareholders have much incentive to change the situation.
On the contrary, the financial industry spends hundreds of millions of dollars every election cycle on campaign donations and lobbying, much of which is aimed at maintaining the subsidy.
The result is a bloated financial sector and recurring credit gluts. Left unchecked, the superbanks could ultimately require bailouts that exceed the government's resources. Picture a meltdown in which the Treasury is helpless to step in as it did in 2008 and 2009.
Regulators can change the game by paring down the subsidy.
One option is to make banks fund their activities with more equity from shareholders, a measure that would make them less likely to need bailouts (we recommend $1 of equity for each $5 of assets, far more than the 1-to-33 ratio that new global rules require).
Another idea is to shock creditors out of complacency by making some of them take losses when banks run into trouble. A third is to prevent banks from using the subsidy to finance speculative trading, the aim of the Volcker rule in the U.S. and financial ring-fencing in the U.K.
Once shareholders fully recognized how poorly the biggest banks perform without government support, they would be motivated to demand better.
This could entail anything from cutting pay packages to breaking down financial juggernauts into more manageable units. The market discipline might not please executives, but it would certainly be an improvement over paying banks to put us in danger.

Former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who survived a 2011 gun attack that left six people dead and 13 others (including Giffords) wounded, is this year's recipient of the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award.
Caroline Kennedy, daughter of the former president, made the announcement on CBS This Morning.
"The fact that she went through this obviously horrendous tragedy and has recommitted herself to the political process ... is really inspiring," Kennedy said.
Giffords and her husband, former astronaut Mark Kelly, have launched a campaign for "responsible changes in our laws to require responsible gun ownership and reduce gun violence."
The award, as the JFK Presidential Library and Museum writes, "is presented annually to public servants who have made courageous decisions of conscience without regard for the personal or professional consequences." Past recipients include former President Gerald Ford and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
Giffords, an Arizona Democrat, posted a message on Twitter today saying:
"Wow! So proud about the #ProfileInCourage Award. President Kennedy's book is a favorite of mine. Thank you Caroline and @JFKLibrary."

Pet Microchipping
A microchipped pet is a safe pet.
We offer pet microchipping for dogs and cats. A microchipped pet is a safe pet – and one that's much more likely to return home if ever lost.
What is a microchip?
A microchip is an electronic device that's only about the size of a grain of rice. It gets implanted between the shoulder blades and remains there indefinitely, although it is possible for a microchip to migrate. The implant procedure is relatively painless and it's as quick and easy as receiving a shot.
How does microchip identification actually work?
Every microchip comes with its own unique ID number. Once it's implanted, you create an account with the company's registry to make sure your contact information is associated with that number.
Most veterinarians and animal shelters have microchip scanners that allow them to read the chip number and get in touch with the microchip company to report the pet as found. The microchip company then reaches out to the owner to let them know their pet has been located and where.
Does my pet really need a microchip?
We highly recommend it. You may be surprised to learn that 1 in 3 pets get lost over the course of their lifetime and, without identification, 90% of them don't come home. Luckily, that can be prevented, especially because almost all humane organizations now utilize microchip scanners.
For more information about the microchipping, call us at (920) 336-5090.

Here you can find all lookup results for private IP address 192.168.100.119. If you are trying to find how to login to your wireless router, access point, extender or repeater, you can access the built-in management page by clicking one of the following links:
http://192.168.100.119 or https://192.168.100.119 (note: https is more secure and the use of www is not needed)
The most used default username and password to gain access to the router settings is 'admin' or 'setup' and in case of a TP Link, Netgear or D-Link wireless router, also known as a wifi router, you can also find the default settings on a sticker on the back of the device. If this doesn't work or you, then you could choose to reset the router. To do this, you need to press and hold it's reset button for approximately 10 seconds. This will restore the factory settings and enables you to log in with the details specified on the sticker, through the default login page. If it doesn't work through the wireless network, you could also try to stick a ethernet cable into the first port of the device.
IP address 192.168.100.119 is registered by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) as a
part of private network 192.168.100.0/24.
IP addresses in the private space are not assigned to any specific organization, including your
ISP (Internet Service Provider), and everyone is allowed to use these IP addresses without the
consent of a regional Internet registry as described in RFC 1918, unlike public IP addresses.
However, IP packets addressed from a private range cannot be sent through the public Internet,
and so if such a private network needs to connect to the Internet, it has to be done through
a network address translator (also called NAT) gateway, or a proxy server (usually reachable on
port 8080 or 8081 if it doesn't work directly).
An example of a NAT gateway would be a wired or wireless router you receive from a broadband
The default address of such a device in network range 192.168.100.0/24 would
traditionally be 192.168.100.1 or
192.168.100.254 depending on your
provider and brand.
A gateway web interface should be available through the HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and/or HTTPS
(Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) protocols. To try this, you should enter 'http://ip address'
or 'https://ip address' in the browser's address bar of your favorite web browser like Google Chrome or
Mozilla Firefox and log in with the username and password provided by your provider.
You can use these types of (private network) IP addresses in your local network and assign it to your
devices such as a personal computer, laptop, tablet and/or smartphone. It is also possible to configure
a range within a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server to do the IP assigning automatically.

Dental Sealants in Rockville Centre, NY
The availability of dental sealants allows for more effective protection than ever before. When properly applied to the teeth, dental sealants are very effective in protecting the tooth surfaces from cavities. Let's take a look…
How does a sealant help prevent decay?
As we already know, dental sealants protect your tooth enamel from the bacteria and acids that cause decay. Brushing and flossing twice a day does help to remove food particles and plaque from your teeth, but it does not reach into the teeth's depressions and grooves. By utilizing dental sealants, we can help to protect those often-missed areas of your teeth from food and bacteria.
The use of dental sealants in Rockville Centre are extremely safe for your teeth and overall health. Contact our dental office to learn more about sealants and to find out if this is a solution for protecting your smile. It is up to your Rockville Centre dentist to decide if dental sealants are the right choice for your teeth.

In trying to reconstruct how Congressman Cantor was defeated, another partial explanation surfaced in the media. Perhaps, it was the media. Here's NPR's media correspondent, David Folkenflik.
DAVID FOLKENFLIK, BYLINE: David Brat had a pretty clear idea of at least one of the keys to his victory. He identified it this morning on "The Laura Ingraham Show."
LAURA INGRAHAM: Hey Dave, how are you?
DAVID BRAT: Hey Laura. Hey I'm doing great. You're hero down here for leading the charge, and it's great to be on with you.
FOLKENFLIK: That's right, Ingraham herself. The conservative talk show host has been a relentless champion of Brat and a tireless critic of Eric Cantor, especially on immigration.
INGRAHAM: I just got the sense that people are, like, fed up with the Republican Party, especially Cantor, that spent so much of his political capital in the last - really, year and a half - pushing this immigration reform issue. He was pushing it and pushing it and pushing it, and the people are like, well what are you going to do for me? What about my flat-lining wages?
FOLKENFLIK: Her championing was not limited to her appearances on the air and on her blog, however. Just last Tuesday, Ingraham was the guest of honor at a rally for Brat.
INGRAHAM: I kind of wish, thinking about this, that President Obama would have thought this through a little bit more...
FOLKENFLIK: Here, Ingraham referred to the recent swap of detainees held at Guantanamo Bay for an American prisoner of war.
INGRAHAM: Instead of sending, like, five Taliban MVPs over there, he could have just traded one Eric Cantor.
FOLKENFLIK: It's hard to assign specific causes in a primary race with so few votes cast, but conservative radio hosts and pundits such as Ann Coulter and Mark Levin also weighed in. And Matt Drudge and Breitbart News served up a steady diet of related stories like this one.
MEGYN KELLY: A massive surge of illegal immigrants is underway right now, and we do mean massive.
FOLKENFLIK: That's Megyn Kelly on Fox News's "Kelly Files" on Monday night, the evening before the election. Just eight minutes after the polls closed last night, The Washington Post's Jim Tankersley tweeted, when does Mickey Kaus take his victory lap? Kaus is a California-based blogger for the conservative Daily Caller. I caught up to Kaus this afternoon.
MICKEY KAUS: Right now I'm in Richmond, Virginia - actually in Cantor's district in Glen Allen, which - it's a sprawling district to the north of Richmond.
FOLKENFLIK: Kaus has been obsessive - his word - in opposing the relaxation of immigration laws. He says about 80 percent of his blog posts for the past six months have been about illegal immigration and many hundreds of his tweets, too.
KAUS: I didn't think Brat was going to win, but I wanted to be at the party, and I wanted to talk to the people on his staff. I was hoping he would beat 40 percent, and he went ahead and won. It was a very happy evening last night.
FOLKENFLIK: When journalists for most mainstream news organizations openly support candidates, it tends to make waves and headlines. That holds even for opinion hosts on MSNBC and Fox News. Kaus told his readers he had sent Brat a campaign contribution.
KAUS: You know, better blatant than latent. The old model is breaking down with the rise of talk radio and cable. And it's only, I think, a matter of time before the breakthrough that, well, you know, do these hosts actually contribute money to their causes - that that line is breached, too.
FOLKENFLIK: Kaus argues that the election would not have come out differently by differently by a single vote, had he not been involved, but that he's doing what he can. For Brat, the media was a key pillar in his primary success. On Ingraham's show today, he praised supporters and volunteers for putting in 12 hour days and then returned to a familiar figure.
BRAT: So can't thank them enough, and I can't thank you enough either, Laura, for your courageous leadership. I mean it - no one saw it coming, right? And you said, we're doing 'cause it's the right thing to do and stood up when all the odds-makers said no way. And there was a way, and it happened. So thank you so much for your courageous leadership.
INGRAHAM: Absolutely David...
FOLKENFLIK: And of course, the Democrats are already trying to cash in, invoking conservative pundits as they seek to raise money to defeat Brat in November. David Folkenflik, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

The lender will do a full review and then tell you what you will be able to borrow in order to purchase a home. This is a vital step in the home buying process!

The sellers accepted your offer, and the home is going through appraisal and inspection. The appraisal guarantees that the price of the property matches the condition of the property while the inspection makes sure that everything in the home is functioning properly and there are no major issues inside.

Other than diamonds, rubies, and sapphires, granite is the hardest natural stone. Granite is the preferred stone for exterior cladding as it is known for its strength and resistance to the elements. Unlike marble, granite is a very low maintenance choice for your building exterior; it is extremely resistant to heat, scratching, and stains.
Quarried all over the world, granite comes in a wide variety of colors. Typically you find granite finished with a high polish to show off the beautiful array of colors and natural grain. Granite's appearance is phenomenal for exterior applications or interior accents but can sometimes look too "busy" in confined spaces. To meet the need of current trends, granite can be honed, sandblasted, or have other textures applied to soften its natural tones and provide a very aesthetically pleasing panel.
Granite is not only found in commercial cladding applications but is a favorite for counter tops and flooring as well. The stone is extremely durable and easily maintained and cleaned. Being harder than marble and limestone, granite surpasses other stones in its ability to resist staining and acidic materials.
If your requirements call for a stone that has permanence, enduring texture and color, along with complete freedom from deterioration and maintenance, then granite is an ideal candidate for your project.

I can't decide which I like better, this quote:
Or the final few seconds of the chefs chewing. *giggle*
When professional cakes go horribly, hilariously wrong.
Ahhhhhh!!! Way too much giggle first thing in the morning!!!
Thank you!!
WV -- toplogre
I wonder who the top logre is around here and how many posts they've done?
My first comment on your fab blog which has had me laughing for months. So funny and accompanied by Stephane Grappelli and Django Reinhardt too!
I saw this film on tv a while ago - absolutely brilliant It starts off slow but by the ending it gets pretty overwhelming. Seeing the sugar sculptures shatter is enetertaining in the trailer, but when you've been watching these guys for an hour hearing about how three generations of their family have all been master chefs and they've spent the last four years planning for this moment, it is heartbraking. And then the supervising chefs lay their medals on the table to encourage him! I don't want to spoil the ending but safe to say the head of the organisation is crying his eyes out as he announces who has made it.
My favorite quote was :
"This is the culinary Hurt Locker."
I liked the Chiefs at the end contemplating the knife as they chewed.
as a (currently unemployed) pastry chef, I nearly had a panic attack watching this...
I like that quote better too :)
This looks like an extended episode of the Food Network Challenge (probably where the idea came from). I suffer so much watching the creation/move on to the table of those things, it's not even funny. BUT as I was on the plane to my new hometown on Sunday, I was gladly surprised to notice half the plane watching the Dora the Explorer challenge and go "OH!" as one came crashing down. I hope they show it in Chi-town.
Thanks for posting this, Jen & Co.!
I've never seen cooking look so stressful before.
"Culinary Hurt Locker" - Band Name O' the Day!
"Feel free to skip the first 30 seconds."
WHAT?! And miss seeing the renown Lyonnais Michelin 3-star chef Paul Bocuse (I literally gasped when he appeared) with a wonderful rendition of La Marseillaise? NEVER!!!
This video clip really made my face light up. Merci beaucoup, Jen! ^.^
-French Bean
The chefs morosely chewing cake at the end had me thinking "But you get to eat 16 cakes! yay!". Then I thought, oooo I guess after cake 6 everything tastes the same. And you need Maalox.
Now I want to see it! I love quirky documentaries like this.. :)
I've seen the entire film. It is amazing and I agree with iseg's comments about it. If you get the chance to see the full film, make the time to do so, as if you have any appreciation of the skills of pastry-making, cake & sugarcraft, you will thoroughly love the film.
Just added it to my Netflix queue, but release date is "unknown." *sigh*
Ooo, I know where I'll be September 15th--at the movies with a cake snuck in!
i kinda liked the crashing sound at the very end of the trailer - something went amiss just as the cameras faded to black...
And I liked A Culinary Hurt Locker too...
I took a demo cooking class with the owner of the french pasty school in chicago who was talking in the clip you posted (I actually saw that white chocolate tree thing from the video in the school's chocolate fridge - yes, they have a whole walk-in fridge just for chocolate). He's hilarious in person. Thank you for sharing the video...I'd cry too if something I spent 12 hours building smashed on the floor.
This is incredible! I gotta watch it tonight. Just finsihed watchin the Great British Bake-Off here in the UK and as entertaining as that is, it is nothing compared to how this looks.
I read someone watching this competition call watching the sculptures break during a contest call it, "spun-sugar schadenfreude" and I think that may be the best descriptor ever!
It's a sick thing, but what got a laugh out loud from me was the first shot of a chef crying. Sorry!
It's so nice to see people dropping cakes. LIKE ME. JUST LIKE ME.
As a Frenchie who has some experience in the culinary world, I feel for these chefs.
That said, the collapsing cake montage made me giggle. :D
That is so darn hilarious. I can relate. I'm no professional, but I've been making cakes for 20 years. The day came to make the cake for my son's graduation this past May. Definitely an important event. The cake stuck to the pan and the frosting was granular. I sat and wept as my husband and son went to the store to buy a *ack!* store-bought cake. I had been defeated by flour and butter.
I'd love to watch that movie. At least I'd feel like I was in good company.
that looks so great! I enjoyed the descriptive: the culinary Hurt Locker", Ha! Good stuff indeed.
thank you for a wonderful birthday post for me! Now to find the actual film so I can watch the whole thing...
Looks like this is going the film festival route. Check kingsofpastry.com and click Screenings for a list of cities. Mine isn't one of them. Guess I'll have to wait for it to hit PBS. Sacre bleu!
I personally liked when the guy tasted the red/white thing it obviously was not what he was expecting. I MUST see this film!!
Dear god, those weird brown clown heads will give me nightmares.
The only thing more terrifying is if the mohawk carrot jockeys and them allied themselves on a single cake.
They showed that film on TV a while back here (in Australia). It was brilliant, the sugarcraft would make you gasp, and your heart just sinks when these beautiful creations break.
The chef who wept had just seen four years of preparation and several days of work (which was just glorious) go down the tubes and what was sweet was his fellow chefs cried with him and encouraged him to try again. It's not a competition as such, more of a high level exam that all or none might pass. Highly recommended if you're into cooking.
I actually attended the French Pastry School in Chicago while Chef Pfeiffer was competing for the MOF-he taught me sugar sculpture :) And Chef Canonne is hands down one of the best people you could ever hope to learn pastry from, with a wicked sense of humor to boot. This clip brings back memories!
omg, that's awesome! if it's half as good as the war room (one of this production company's other films apparently) then it will be amazing!
You think for people who make food for a living they could at least look like they enjoy what they're doing! The stress and the downcast faces are the saddest part about this clip!
I loved the somewhat twisted version of La Marseillaise, and the involuntary wreckage
OMG.(and I hardly ever say that, at least in txt speak!)
I have got to see that!
@Anon 12:22 AM
Try not to cry, then, if a cake that you've been planning and preparing (for *four years*) to present in the biggest contest of your life shatters into tiny pieces in a matter of seconds.
Some empathy for the chefs, please! What they do is NOT easy!
(Sorry CakeWrecks & Jen, I just *had* to delurk to say this. After all of the wrecks on your blog, people have got to appreciate the effort and genius that goes into non-wrecky creations!)
Hey Bloodsugar,
You're absolutely right. I'm a faux finisher by trade and I've definitely shed a few tears when I tried to do a finish that failed. And that was planned for a few hours. I can't imagine the heartbreak if something you've been planning for years came crashing down.
I honestly don't know how I'm going to do with this film since I'm a bit over-empathic. I suppose its a hilariously heartbreaking movie and I'm not sure how well that works. Hmm.
Eek. This is THE first post on this blog that didn't make me laugh. At all. The world has ended. *flail* Maybe I just need cake. Yeah. *wanders off*
They aired this fantastic documentary in the UK several months ago. It was amazing & I have to agree with the commenters that state you should see it before laughing at the crying chefs.
The work, preparation, stress & skill that goes into these works of art really makes you feel for them when something goes wrong. The documentary was wonderfully made and you really did feel for each chef they featured.
If you're a baker of any kind I urge you to try and see it, you cannot help but be moved/ empathise.
OMG... I got mentioned on CW!
This documentary was on BBC 4 a while back - it does start slowly (I almost gave up) but then when you see their creations falling apart and all the judges sobbing you can't help but be fascinated
I saw this film when it aired on TV! SUCH an intense competition, more so than the Olympics! The sculpture drop moment had me and my boyfriend in tears along with the chef...
Where do I sign up to back Christopher Guest making his version of this?
That last part with the guys chewing reminded me of children who didn't want to, being forced to eat their vegetables. I don't know why, it just did!
The chefs chewing is probably hands down the best clip I've seen in a while. And I think I will actually use the phrases 'culinary hurt locker' and 'i've never seen so many strong men sobbning at once'.
I am going to watch this movie
The orgasm face right before the end was definitely the best pat.
I've actually seen this documentary. Its REALLY interesting and makes you super hungry.
Let's give a hand to the Kings of Pastry!
I loved, "this is the culinary Hurt Locker" HAHAHA!

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.
Now, don't you have a photo you want to send me? ;)
We don't have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it's cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
Payments must be made through Paypal, which accepts all major credit cards. Sorry, but that means no checks or MOs or barter-based chickens.
We ship everything first class USPS, and will do our best to have your package in the mail within 2 days of your order.

A well-planned vegetarian diet can meet the needs of people of all ages, including children, teenagers, and pregnant or breast-feeding women. The key is to be aware of your nutritional needs so that you plan a diet that meets them.
Types of vegetarian diets
When people think about a vegetarian diet, they typically think about a diet that doesn't include meat, poultry or fish. But vegetarian diets vary in what foods they include and exclude:
- Lacto-vegetarian diets exclude meat, fish, poultry and eggs, as well as foods that contain them. Dairy products, such as milk, cheese, yogurt and butter, are included.
- Lacto-ovo vegetarian diets exclude meat, fish and poultry, but allow dairy products and eggs.
- Ovo-vegetarian diets exclude meat, poultry, seafood and dairy products, but allow eggs.
- Vegan diets exclude meat, poultry, fish, eggs and dairy products — and foods that contain these products.
Some people follow a semivegetarian diet — also called a flexitarian diet — which is primarily a plant-based diet but includes meat, dairy, eggs, poultry and fish on occasion or in small quantities.
Vegetarian diet pyramid
A healthy diet takes planning, and a food pyramid can be a helpful tool. The vegetarian pyramid outlines food groups and food choices that, if eaten in the right quantities, form the foundation of a healthy vegetarian diet.
Getting adequate nutrition
The key to a healthy vegetarian diet — like any diet — is to enjoy a variety of foods. No single food can provide all the nutrients your body needs. The more restrictive your diet is, the more challenging it can be to get all the nutrients you need. A vegan diet, for example, eliminates natural food sources of vitamin B-12, as well as milk products, which are good sources of calcium.
With a little planning, however, you can be sure that your diet includes everything your body needs. Pay special attention to the following nutrients:
- Calcium helps build and maintain strong teeth and bones. Milk and dairy foods are highest in calcium. However, dark green vegetables, such as turnip and collard greens, kale and broccoli, are good plant sources when eaten in sufficient quantities. Calcium-enriched and fortified products, including juices, cereals, soy milk, soy yogurt and tofu, are other options.
- Iodine is a component in thyroid hormones, which help regulate metabolism, growth and function of key organs. Vegans may not get enough iodine and be at risk of deficiency and possibly even a goiter. In addition, foods such as soybeans, cruciferous vegetables and sweet potatoes may promote a goiter. However, just 1/4 teaspoon of iodized salt provides a significant amount of iodine.
- Iron is a crucial component of red blood cells. Dried beans and peas, lentils, enriched cereals, whole-grain products, dark leafy green vegetables and dried fruit are good sources of iron. Because iron isn't as easily absorbed from plant sources, the recommended intake of iron for vegetarians is almost double that recommended for nonvegetarians. To help your body absorb iron, eat foods rich in vitamin C, such as strawberries, citrus fruits, tomatoes, cabbage and broccoli, at the same time as you're eating iron-containing foods.
- Omega-3 fatty acids are important for heart health. Diets that do not include fish and eggs are generally low in active forms of omega-3 fatty acids. Canola oil, soy oil, walnuts, ground flaxseed and soybeans are good sources of essential fatty acids. However, because conversion of plant-based omega-3 to the types used by humans is inefficient, you may want to consider fortified products or supplements, or both.
- Protein helps maintain healthy skin, bones, muscles and organs. Eggs and dairy products are good sources, and you don't need to eat large amounts to meet your protein needs. You can also get sufficient protein from plant-based foods if you eat a variety of them throughout the day. Plant sources include soy products and meat substitutes, legumes, lentils, nuts, seeds and whole grains.
- Vitamin B-12 is necessary to produce red blood cells and prevent anemia. This vitamin is found almost exclusively in animal products, so it can be difficult to get enough B-12 on a vegan diet. Vitamin B-12 deficiency may go undetected in people who eat a vegan diet. This is because the vegan diet is rich in a vitamin called folate, which may mask deficiency in vitamin B-12 until severe problems occur. For this reason, it's important for vegans to consider vitamin supplements, vitamin-enriched cereals and fortified soy products.
- Vitamin D plays an important role in bone health. Vitamin D is added to cow's milk, some brands of soy and rice milk, and some cereals and margarines. Be sure to check food labels. If you don't eat enough fortified foods and have limited sun exposure, you may need a vitamin D supplement (one derived from plants).
- Zinc is an essential component of many enzymes and plays a role in cell division and in formation of proteins. Like iron, zinc is not as easily absorbed from plant sources as it is from animal products. Cheese is a good option if you eat dairy products. Plant sources of zinc include whole grains, soy products, legumes, nuts and wheat germ.
If you need help creating a vegetarian diet that's right for you, talk with your doctor and a registered dietitian.
Getting started
If you're not following a vegetarian diet but you're thinking of trying it, here are some ideas to help you get started:
- Ramp up. Each week increase the number of meatless meals you already enjoy, such as spaghetti with tomato sauce or vegetable stir-fry.
- Learn to substitute. Take favorite recipes and try them without meat. For example, make vegetarian chili by leaving out the ground beef and adding an extra can of black beans. Or make fajitas using extra-firm tofu rather than chicken. You may be surprised to find that many dishes require only simple substitutions.
- Branch out. Scan the Internet for vegetarian menus. Buy or borrow vegetarian cookbooks. Check out ethnic restaurants to sample new vegetarian cuisines. The more variety you bring to your vegetarian diet, the more likely you'll be to meet all your nutritional needs.

Fast-food workers and labor organizers are set to turn out in support of higher wages in cities across the country Thursday.
Organizers say walkouts are planned in 100 cities, with rallies set for another 100 cities. But it's not clear what the actual turnout will be, how many of the participants are workers and what impact they'll have on restaurant operations.
The actions would mark the largest showing yet in a push that began a year ago. At a time when there's growing national and international attention on economic disparities, labor unions, worker advocacy groups and Democrats are hoping to build public support to raise the federal minimum wage of $7.25, or about $15,000 a year for full-time work.
In New York City, about 100 protesters carrying signs, blowing whistles and beating drums marched into a McDonald's at around 6:30 a.m.; one startled customer grabbed his food and fled as they flooded the restaurant, while another didn't look up from eating and reading amid their chants of "We can't survive on $7.25!"
Community leaders took turns giving speeches for about 15 minutes until the police arrived and ordered protesters out of the store. The crowd continued to demonstrate outside for about 45 minutes. A McDonald's manager declined to be interviewed and asked that the handful of customers in the store not be bothered.
Tyeisha Batts, a 27-year-old employee at Burger King, was among those taking part in the demonstrations planned throughout the day in New York City. She said she has been working at the location for about seven months and earns $7.25 an hour.
"My boss took me off the schedule because she knows I'm participating," Batts said.
She said she hasn't been retaliated against but that the manager warned that employees who didn't arrive on time Thursday would be turned away for their shifts. Batts said she gets only between 10 and 20 hours of work a week because her employers don't want her to qualify as a full-time worker. Under the health care overhaul, that would make her eligible for coverage by her employers.
Despite the growing attention on the struggles of low-wage workers, the push for higher pay in the fast-food industry faces an uphill battle. The industry competes aggressively on value offerings and companies have warned that they would need to raise prices if wages were hiked. Most fast-food locations are also owned and operated by franchisees, which lets companies such as McDonald's Corp., Burger King Worldwide Inc. and Yum Brands Inc. say that they don't control worker pay.
However, labor advocates have pointed out that companies control many other aspects of restaurant operations through their franchise agreements, including menus, suppliers and equipment.
Fast-food workers have historically been seen as difficult to unionize, given the industry's high turnover rates. But the Service Employees International Union, which represents more than 2 million workers in health care, janitorial and other industries, has been providing considerable organizational and financial support to the push for higher pay over the past year.
Berlin Rosen, a political consulting and public relations firm based in New York City, also has been coordinating communications efforts and connecting organizers with media outlets.
The National Restaurant Association, an industry lobbying group, said most those protesting were union workers and that "relatively few" workers have participated in past actions. It called the demonstrations a "campaign engineered by national labor groups."
In the meantime, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has promised a vote on the wage hike by the end of the year. But the measure is not expected to gain traction in the House, where Republican leaders oppose it.
Supporters of wage hikes have been more successful at the state and local level. California, Connecticut and Rhode Island raised their minimum wages this year. Last month, voters in New Jersey approved a hike in the minimum to $8.25 an hour, up from $7.25 an hour.

It's when a homeowner is unable to make principal and/or interest payments on their mortgage. The lender, a bank or building society, can seize and sell the property as stipulated in the terms of the mortgage contract.
Unfortunately, Foreclosure can happen. By missing a mortgage payment, your lender has the legal means to repossess your home and force you to move out. If your property is worth less than the total amount you owe on your loan, a Deficiency Judgment could be pursued. Both a Foreclosure and a Deficiency Judgment can affect your ability to qualify for credit in the future. So you should avoid foreclosure, if possible.
First of all, if you are struggling to make your payments, call or write to your lender's Loss Mitigation Department right away. Explain your situation and be prepared to provide them with financial information like your monthly income and expenses. Just follow these 3 simple rules:
- Contact your lender as soon as you know your payment will be late.
- Never ignore the lender's letters or phone calls.
- Don't assume that your situation is hopeless.
Your lender will determine if you qualify for the following alternate solutions. Also, a housing counseling agency can help you with your options, plus interact with your lender on your behalf:
Mortgage Modification – If you can currently make your regular payment, but can't catch-up on the past due amount, the lender may agree to modify your mortgage. One way is to add the past due amount into your existing loan and finance it long-term. Mortgage Modification may also be possible if you no longer can make your payments at the former level. The lender may modify your mortgage and extend the loan length, or perhaps take steps to reduce your current payments.
Pre-Foreclosure Sale – Foreclosure can be avoided by selling your property for a lesser amount necessary to pay off your mortgage loan. You may qualify if:
- The loan is at least 2 months delinquent
- The house is sold within 3-5 months
- A new appraisal, that the lender will obtain, indicates that the home value meets program guidelines.
Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure – This is when the lender allows you to give-back your property and forgives the debt. It does have a negative impact on your credit record; however it's better than foreclosure. The lender may require that house be "For Sale" for a specific time period before agreeing. This route may not be possible if there are other liens against the home.
For FHA Loans – The lender may assist you in getting a one-time payment from the FHA Insurance Fund. The homeowner must prove the ability to resume making full mortgage payments on time, and other conditions apply:
- A Promissory Note must be signed allowing HUD to place a lien on your property for the amount received from the FHA Insurance Fund.
- The note is interest free, but must be repaid eventually.
- The note becomes due when you pay off the loan, transfer title, or sell the property.
For VA Loans – The Veteran's Administration Loan Centers offer financial services designed to help homeowners avoid Foreclosure, and options for your specific situation.
Reinstatement – This is possible when you are behind in payments, but can promise to pay a lump sum of money to bring your regular payments back by a specific date.
Forbearance – It may be allowed to delay payments for a short period with the understanding that another option will be used to bring the account current later.
Repayment Plan – If your account is past due, but you can now make regular payments again, the lender may allow you to catch-up by adding a portion of the overdue amount to a certain number of monthly payments until your account becomes current.
Partial Claim – Your lender may be able to help you obtain a one-time payment from the FHA Insurance Fund to bring your mortgage current, if you qualify:
You may qualify if you are able to begin making full mortgage payments again.
When your lender files a Partial Claim on your behalf, the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development will pay your lender the amount necessary to bring your mortgage current. You must execute a Promissory Note and a Lien will be placed on your property until the note is fully paid. The note is interest-free and is due when you pay off the first mortgage, or when the property is sold.
