The brand new pastor and his wife, newly assigned to their first ministry, to reopen a church in suburban Brooklyn, arrived in early October excited about their opportunities. When they saw their church, it was very run down and needed much work. They set a goal to have everything done in time to have their first service on Christmas Eve.
They worked hard, repairing pews, plastering walls, painting, etc, and on December 18 were ahead of schedule and just about finished.
On December 19 a terrible tempest - a driving rainstorm hit the area and lasted for two days.
On the 21st, the pastor went over to the church. His heart sank when he saw that the roof had leaked, causing a large area of plaster about 20 feet by 8 feet to fall off the front wall of the sanctuary just behind the pulpit, beginning about head high.
The pastor cleaned up the mess on the floor, and not knowing what else to do but postpone the Christmas Eve service, headed home. On the way he noticed that a local business was having a flea market type sale for charity, so he stopped in. One of the items was a beautiful, handmade, ivory colored, crocheted tablecloth with exquisite work, fine colors and a Cross embroidered right in the center. It was just the right size to cover the hole in the front wall. He bought it and headed back to the church.
By this time it had started to snow. An older woman running from the opposite direction was trying to catch the bus. She missed it. The pastor invited her to wait in the warm church for the next bus 45 minutes later.
She sat in a pew and paid no attention to the pastor while he got a ladder, hangers, etc., to put up the tablecloth as a wall tapestry. The pastor could hardly believe how beautiful it looked and it covered up the entire problem area.
Then he noticed the woman walking down the center aisle. Her face was like a sheet. "Pastor," she asked, "where did you get that tablecloth?" The pastor explained. The woman asked him to check the lower right corner to see if the initials, EBG were crocheted into it there. They were. These were the initials of the woman, and she had made this tablecloth 35 years before, in Austria .
The woman could hardly believe it as the pastor told how he had just gotten "The Tablecloth". The
woman explained that before the war she and her husband were well-to-do people in Austria .
When the Nazis came, she was forced to leave. Her husband was going to follow her the next week. He was captured, sent to prison and never saw her husband or her home again.
The pastor wanted to give her the tablecloth; but she made the pastor keep it for the church. The pastor insisted on driving her home. That was the least he could do. She lived on the other side of Staten Island and was only in Brooklyn for the day for a housecleaning job.
What a wonderful service they had on Christmas Eve. The church was almost full. The music and the spirit were great. At the end of the service, the pastor and his wife greeted everyone at the door and many said that they would return.
One older man, whom the pastor recognized from the neighborhood continued to sit in one of the pews and stare, and the pastor wondered why he wasn't leaving.
The man asked him where he got the tablecloth on the front wall because it was identical to one that his wife had made years ago when they lived in Austria before the war and how could there be two tablecloths so much alike?
He told the pastor how the Nazis came, how he forced his wife to flee for her safety and he was supposed to follow her, but he was arrested and put in a prison. He never saw his wife or his home again all the 35 years between.
The pastor asked him if he would allow him to take him for a little ride. They drove to Staten Island and to the same house where the pastor had taken the woman three days earlier.
He helped the man climb the three flights of stairs to the woman's apartment, knocked on the door and he saw the greatest Christmas reunion he could ever imagine.
True Story - submitted by Pastor Rob Reid who says God does work in mysterious ways. I asked the Lord to bless you as I prayed for you today, to guide you and protect you as you go along your way. His love is always with you. His promises are true, and when we give Him all our cares we know He will see us through.
So when the road you're traveling seems difficult at best, just remember I'm here praying and God will do the rest.
When there is nothing left but God, that is when you find out that God is all you need Take 60 seconds and give this a shot! All you do is simply say the following small prayer –
Father, God, bless all my friends and family in whatever it is that You know they may be needing this day! May their lives be full of Your peace, prosperity and power as they seek to have a closer relationship with You. Amen.

When we get a pitcher that can actualy go deep into the game, as Clayton Kershaw did today (7.0 IP, 1 ER, ND), then great things can happen. Joe Torre can use the bullpen effectively (Jeff Weaver, George Sherrill, Ramon Troncoso, and then Jonathan Broxton to get the save in the ninth); Manny Ramirez can come off the bench for a dramatic lead-changing two-run pinch-hit home run off of Sergio "Valente" Romo (who picked a fine time to try out that sidearm pitch); and the Dodgers can not only survive a pitchers' duel, but can dispatch the Giants out of town having stolen the series from them. I'll write more on this later, but for now, thanks Clayton and Manny, for a wonderful afternoon and evening full of smiles and laughter.
The Dodgers claw their way back to .500, knock the division-leading Giants off their perch a bit, and get back to second place in the NL West. And all Giants fans can do is throw insults at Manny's hair. Yawn.
UPDATE 9:14p: For those of you who missed the game, Tony Jackson wrote a very thorough piece about all the chess moves late in the game to keep us in it, and give Manny a chance for his late-game heroics.

His Eminence, the Most Reverend Archbishop Iakovos (Coucouzis) of America (July 29, 1911 - April 10, 2005) was primate of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of North and South America from 1959 to 1996, making him the longest serving bishop in that capacity.
He was also the founding president of SCOBA in 1960 and served thus until his retirement in 1996. Iakovos was well-known for his work to make Orthodoxy visible in American society and for his tireless work in civil rights. The dream and continual struggle of his episcopacy was to see the full union of Orthodoxy in America, to be transfigured from "parochial to truly Orthodox Christian people," from "separate jurisdictions to one jurisdiction," from "many ethnic groups to one group, headed and dominated by Christ our Saviour and our Lord," as he said at the 1994 Ligonier Meeting.
Early Years
Iakovos was born Demetrios A. Coucouzis on the Greek island of Imvros (Turkey) in 1911 to Maria and Athanasios Coucouzis, one of four children, including two sisters (Virginia and Chrysanthi) and a brother (Panagiotis). He enrolled at the Ecumenical Patriarchal Theological School of Halki at the age of 15, where he earned a Master's Degree in Orthodox Theology, graduating in 1934 with high honors.
Demetrios was ordained to the holy diaconate in 1934, receiving then the name Iakovos, and he served as a deacon to Archbishop Athenagoras (later Ecumenical Patriarch). In 1940, Iakovos was ordained to the priesthood in Lowell, Massachusetts, serving churches in Connecticut, St. Louis, and New York, and also serving as the assistant dean of Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology (Brookline, Massachusetts). In 1942, he was appointed as dean of Annunciation Cathedral in Boston and served in that capacity until 1954. During this time, he earned a Master's degree in Sacred Theology from Harvard Divinity School (1945) and became a U.S. citizen (1950).
In 1954, Iakovos was elected to the episcopacy and appointed as Bishop of Melita by Ecumenical Patriarch Athenagoras, being consecrated the following year. In 1956, he was elevated to the rank of metropolitan. Between 1955 and 1959 he served as representative of the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople at the World Council of Churches in Geneva, Switzerland. In 1959, he became the first Greek Orthodox archbishop to meet with a Pope of Rome in 350 years, visiting Pope John XXIII as a special emissary of Patriarch Athenagoras.
He was elected as primate of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of North and South America on February 14, 1959 by the Holy Synod of the Church of Constantinople, and on April 1 of that year Iakovos was enthroned as Archbishop of America at Holy Trinity Cathedral in New York City.
Archbishop of America
Shortly after his appointment as primate of Greek Orthodoxy in the Western Hemisphere, Archbishop Iakovos founded the Standing Conference of the Canonical Orthodox Bishops in the Americas (SCOBA), serving as its president until his retirement in 1996. It was his first major step in attempting to bring about Orthodox Christian unity in America, a cause he championed and with which he was strongly associated for all the years of his episcopacy.
Archbishop Iakovos made national headlines while marching alongside Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. for civil rights in the 1960s, an act which characterized his commitment to social justice as part of the ministry of the Church. His march with King was immortalized on the cover of the March 26, 1965 issue of Life Magazine, where he stands photographed alongside King as part of the latter's march in Selma, Alabama. In doing so, Iakovos was one of the first national religious leaders to take a role in American civil rights.
In January of that same year, he accompanied Patriarch Athenagoras to Jerusalem to meet with Pope Paul VI and then later to Rome, where the two primates declared a lifting of the anathemas of 1054.
In 1974, he initiated a campaign to assist Greek Cypriot refugees following the Turkish invasion of Cyprus.
In 1994, Iakovos presided over the historic Ligonier Meeting in western Pennsylvania at which the assembled American Orthodox bishops came together, exppressing their essential unity and denouncing the notion of constituting a "diaspora." His leadership was strongly influential at this meeting, and it is believed that fears that he was going to have himself declared "Patriarch of America" led to his forced retirement at the age of 85 on July 29, 1996 by Patriarch Bartholomew I (Archontonis) of Constantinople, with whom Iakovos had a long-standing rivalry.
On April 8, 2005, the archbishop was admitted to the hospital in Stamford, Connecticut, suffering from a pulmonary ailment, and he reposed in the Lord on April 10. His funeral was on Thursday, April 14, at Holy Trinity Cathedral in New York City, and his burial was held Friday, April 15, at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology.
Archimandrite Serafim (Surrency), writing in 1973 in his The Quest for Orthodox Church Unity in America, had this to say about Iakovos: "It would be no exaggeration to say that both in the eyes of the American public as well as in ecclesiastical circles as well (sic), Apb Iakovos was the titular and actual leader of Orthodoxy in America" (p. 103).
In his endeavours to relate to members of other religions, some Orthodox felt that Archbishop Iakovos went entirely too far, that he violated the canons and betrayed the faith by praying with heretics. Perhaps one of the more famous instances of an Orthodox hierarch rebuking Archbishop Iakovos was Metropolitan Philaret (ROCOR) writing an open letter in 1969 on the occasion of Iakovos's participation at St. Patrick's Cathedral in the "Week of Prayer for Christian Unity" and the "Ecumenical Doxology" in the Greek Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in New York City. In this letter, Philaret says: "You are uniting with the heterodox not in truth but in indifference to it."
During his tenure as archbishop, Iakovos drew a great deal of criticism from those especially concerned about his activities pertaining to ecumenism. His own definition of ecumenism was as follows: "Ecumenism is the hope for international understanding, for humanitarian allegiance, for true peace based on justice and dignity, and for God's continued presence and involvement in modern history" (ca. 1960).[1]

Millions of people wear contact lenses to help them see clearly. We've seen many advancements in lens materials and designs over the years. If you have tried contacts in the past, but stopped due to discomfort or poor quality, it may be time to try again. Our staff will help select the best option for your eyes! We have a variety of options for your specific type of prescription correction, tear production, lifestyle, and more. Contact us to learn more.
Soft Contact Lenses
Soft contacts are the most common type of contact lenses and account for over 85% of contact lenses dispensed. Traditional soft contact lenses consist of soft plastic polymers and water. They allow oxygen to permeate through the lens material to the cornea. Most people find soft contact lenses comfortable. One advantage of soft contacts is that people assimilate to them almost right away. Soft lenses come in different prescriptions and designs depending on your budget and need. For some prescriptions, they do not offer the same visual acuity as gas permeable lenses or glasses. Our staff will help you determine which design is best for you.
Disposable Contact Lenses
Disposable contact lenses are soft lenses that are discarded on a daily, weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis. With regular replacement, protein deposits do not build up. Deposits can affect vision, comfort, and the health of the eyes. These lenses are convenient and low-maintenance compared to traditional soft lenses. It is important to replace disposable contacts as suggested to avoid eye infection. Disposable lenses are available in most prescriptions.
Extended Wear Contact Lenses
Extended wear contact lenses are gas-permeable or soft lenses designed for up to 30 days of continuous safe wear. They offer the convenience of not having to take them out at night, but there are risks. Sleeping in them poses a higher risk of infection, corneal ulcers, and abnormal blood vessel growth in the cornea. These lenses need more frequent follow-ups. Some doctors will not recommend extended wear lenses for these reasons.
Tinted or Cosmetic Contact Lenses
Tinted contact lenses are soft lenses that enable some patients to change the color of their iris (the colored part of the eye). These lenses are available in interesting colors and patterns. They can provide a subtle or dramatic change in the appearance of your eyes. They are not available for all prescriptions and are not suggested for everyday wear.
Hard Contact Lenses
Before the introduction of soft contact lenses, hard polymethyl methacrylate contact lenses were common. They did not allow for oxygen transfer to the cornea and often caused the cornea to swell. For this reason, hard contact lenses are obsolete.
Rigid Gas Permeable Lenses
Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP), or just Gas Permeable (GP) lenses are sometimes mistaken for old-fashioned lenses. The old hard contact lenses that people know are rarely used today. RGP lenses are more pliable, more comfortable, and they allow oxygen to the cornea. Gas permeable lenses also allow more oxygen to the cornea than traditional soft contact lenses. They do not change their shape when you blink or move your eyes because they are rigid. This means they offer sharper vision than soft contacts. They are much more durable than soft lenses. Because they do not contain water, proteins and lipids do not adhere to them like they can do with soft lenses. RGP lenses also come in many bifocal and multifocal designs.
The biggest disadvantage of RGP lenses is that patients need to get used to them. They are not immediately comfortable like soft lenses. RGP lenses take three to four days for patients to adapt to them. They need to be worn regularly (although not every day) to achieve optimal comfort. They are smaller in size so they can dislodge from the eye more easily than soft lenses.
Toric Contact Lenses
Toric contact lenses help correct astigmatism. They are available in both soft and gas-permeable designs. These lenses have one power that is vertical and another that is horizontal. There is a weight at the bottom, allowing the lenses to center correctly on the eye. Toric lenses are more difficult to fit. They generally require more time from the patient to determine their comfort. They may need additional fitting help from the doctor.
Bifocal Contact Lenses
Bifocal contact lenses, like bifocal glasses, have more than one power. This allows an individual to have clear vision in fields that are near and far. These lenses are available in both soft and gas-permeable designs. Another alternative to bifocal contacts is monovision correction. With these lenses, one eye is used for distance and the other eye for near or reading vision. Both of these lens types require more time from the doctor for fitting. Patients need to adapt to using one eye, depending on which distance they are viewing.
There are now more choices for contact lenses than ever before. While some individuals wear contact lenses without trouble, others have to try different types to find their perfect pair. Call our office today to schedule an appointment!

Osseous surgery, sometimes referred to as pocket reduction surgery or gingivectomy, refers to a number of different surgeries aimed at gaining access to the tooth roots to remove tartar and disease-causing bacteria.
Osseous surgery is used to reshape deformities and remove pockets in the alveolar bone surrounding the teeth. It is a common necessity in effective treatment of more advanced periodontal diseases. The ultimate goal of osseous surgery is to reduce or eliminate the periodontal pockets that cause periodontal disease. Despite the word "surgery" the procedure is reported to feel more like a thorough cleaning.
The specific goals of surgery include:
- Reducing Bacterial Spread:
Bacteria from the mouth can spread throughout the body and cause other life-threatening conditions such as heart disease and respiratory disease. Removing deep tartar and thereby bacteria can help reduce the risk of bacteria spreading. - Preventing Bone Loss:
The immune system's inflammatory response prompted by periodontal bacteria can lead to bone loss in the jaw region, and cause teeth to fall out. Osseous surgery seeks to stop periodontal disease before it progresses to this level. - Enhancing the Smile:
Mouths plagued with periodontal disease are often unsightly. Brown gums, rotting teeth, and ridge indentations can leave a person feeling depressed and too self-conscious to smile. Fortunately, osseous surgery can help reduce bacteria and disease and thereby restore your mouth to its former radiance, while restoring confidence at the same time. - Facilitating Home Care:
As the gum pocket deepens, it can become nearly impossible to brush and floss adequately. Osseous surgery reduces pocket size, making it easier to brush and floss, and thereby prevent further periodontal disease.
A local anesthetic will be used to numb the area prior to surgery. First, Dr. Riggs will cut around each tooth of the affected area to release the gum tissue from the bone. This allows access to the bone and roots of the teeth. After the roots have been thoroughly cleaned through scaling, a drill and hand tools will be used to reshape the bone around the teeth. Bone is removed in some areas to restore the normal rise and fall of the bone, but at a lower level. Bone grafting may also be necessary to fill in large defects.
Next, the gums will be placed back over the remaining bone and suture them in place. The site will also be covered with a bandage (periodontal pack) or dressing. Pain medicine and mouth rinses containing chlorhexidine are generally prescribed following the surgery.
Do not be alarmed if bleeding and swelling occur after the surgery. This can be controlled easily by placing an ice pack on the outside of the affected area. In cases where the bleeding and swelling is in excess, it is advised that you call to notify our office. Several follow up visits may be necessary and you must fulfill a meticulous maintenance program especially during the initial phases of healing to avoid post-operative infection.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich started Thursday's Iowa campaigning with a stop in Sioux City at The Coffee Works. Only about a dozen customers were there, but he was questioned critically by one about his comments on reforming the federal judiciary.
Linda Santi told Gingrich she didn't appreciate him "politicizing" the Iowa Supreme Court's 2009 decision that found unconstitutional a state law banning gay marriage. Santi said the decision was in accordance with the state constitution. Gingrich ended the conversation with: "We'll have to agree to disagree."
Across Iowa, Gingrich has been stressing his economic experience, calling himself a "supply-side conservative" who worked with Ronald Reagan in the 1980's and again as House speaker in the 1990's to revive the economy.
He keeps telling audiences how thrilled he is to campaign with economist Arthur Laffer, although it's not clear how many in his audiences have any idea who Laffer is (he's a former adviser to President Reagan who has an economic theory — the "Laffer Curve" — to his name).
Speaking to reporters Thursday, Gingrich said he's "totally focused on Iowa" and not thinking about the ensuing primary in New Hampshire.
Gingrich said if he finishes fourth in Iowa, he's definitely continuing his campaign.
A Time/CNN poll out on Wednesday showed Gingrich down to 14 percent support among likely Republican caucus-goers in Iowa, a state he once lead, trailing Romney, Texas Rep. Ron Paul and now even former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.
Also Wednesday, Gingrich's campaign announced a $500,000 ad buy for the closing week in Iowa. But the fact remains that Gingrich has been outspent and is trying to regain his momentum one campaign event at a time.
On Thursday, Gingrich was continuing his bus tour of the state with stops scheduled in Storm Lake, Denison and Carroll.

Nahunta Tax Resolution
If you are having problems with your taxes, it is crucial that you get a tax law firm that can help you resolve them as early as possible to reduce the possibility of incurring hefty penalties. For your Nahunta tax resolution needs, we at Defense Tax Partners are here for you.
Getting tax problems resolved can be tricky as state and federal laws vary when it comes to tax policies and penalties for tax violations. Harsh penalties are expected if the tax problem you have is quite severe, and you can be assured that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will not let you escape your liabilities. Fortunately, you can negotiate with the IRS for a better way to deal with your tax issues if you do it early on with the help of a legal team.
Defense Tax Partners has the right team of lawyers who can help you with your tax problems no matter what they may be. We have a team to help you get into a tax debt relief program, as well as a team that can help you get through the IRS audit or tax fraud cases. Let us know what your tax situation is, and you can be guaranteed that we will help you get the best resolution for your situation.
Call Defense Tax Partners at (770) 746-8811 for your Free Consultation with a Nahunta Tax Resolution expert!
Resolving Tax Debt
Resolving tax debt is one of the most common requests we get at Defense Tax Partners.
There are many reasons that a person can incur tax debt. Sometimes, it could be because of an unforeseen event. Other times, it may be caused by committing tax violations that entail high penalties. Whichever reason you have for having tax debt, we can help you get them resolved through the help of one of the tax debt relief programs offered by the state or federal government. We can help you prepare the right documents, apply for the right program and negotiate with the IRS if necessary to get the program applied to your situation.
Establishing IRS Audit Defense
Defense Tax Partners also has a great team of IRS audit defense lawyers who can help you navigate through the complex process of IRS auditing.
The IRS randomly selects those who undergo its regular auditing, usually including businesses and those with high income. If you want to make sure your tax documents are ready for the audit, our team can review them for you and even help you sort out the required documents you need to present in the audit.
We will also be with you during the audit so the IRS won't pressure you into admitting guilt for any violation that they have earlier spotted in your records. We have been working with the IRS for a while, which allows us to adapt to any actions the agency takes during the audit. Rest assured, you won't feel stressed out with our help during the audit.
Creating a Strong Tax Fraud Defense
Our Nahunta tax resolution team can also help you create a strong tax fraud defense strategy if you find yourself accused or charged with tax fraud and other tax violations.
If you are found guilty of committing any tax violation, you can face large fines and long jail sentences. The more severe the violation is, the more severe the penalties will be. It is crucial that you have a legal team to clear your name or help you get a reduced penalty. Defense Tax Partners can look into the situation and provide a strong defense for you, as well as negotiate for a lighter penalty if the case does not go in your favor.

The 5 Top Home Buyer Turn-Offs of 2018
Selling a home in today's market can be a bit frustrating. There's all sorts of home staging and property preparation advice out there, and some of it seems daunting or impossible to follow unless you already live in a haute home or have a serious bankroll set aside to whip your place into shape.
You can't turn a rancher into a Victorian – so don't bother trying. But you do have more control than you may realize over how desirable your listing looks to potential buyers. In order to know what turns a buyer on you need to know what turns a buyer off.
Here are 6 big-time turn-offs that make buyers cringe at the thought of purchasing your home.
1. Cluttered, dirty and/or "fragrant" houses
You already know this one. Every seller does. Yet, even in 2018, the era of Houzz and HGTV, buyers across America walk into homes that would make your mother cringe every single day. The people who come to see your home are making one of the biggest decisions they'll ever make. Cluttered countertops, neglected toilet seats and unattended litter boxes not only invite the viewer to turn up their nose, they practically compel a buyer to walk away.
Luckily, you have all the control in the world over how your house looks to your would be buyer. Some sellers find it helpful to think not about de-cluttering, but about pre-packing. Everything that is not part of the home's decor or furnishing and that is not a must for your daily functioning should be boxed up, and neatly packed away in the garage or a storage unit. You'll have to pack it all up anyway when your home sells, and doing it in advance just makes it more likely the place will sell, stat!
Also, no matter how long it takes for your home to get an offer, do not show it without it being completely and totally tidied up: no laundry or dishes piled up, countertops freshly wiped down, mail and paperwork put away and smelly dogs or litter boxes cleaned and/or out of the house. Get every family member on board, kids/cats/canines included, and create a morning or evening cleaning ritual to minimize mad, pre-showing dashes.
2. Overpricing. Buying a house in today's market is hard work!
On top of all the research and analysis about the market, buyers have to work overtime to separate the real estate wheat from the chaff, get educated about short sales and foreclosures and often put in many, many offers before they get even a single one accepted. The last thing they want to add to their task list is trying to argue a seller out of unreasonable expectations or pricing.
When buyers see a home whose seller is clearly clueless about their home's value and has priced it sky-high, many won't even bother looking at it. If they do love it, they'll wait for it to sit on the market for a while, hoping the market will "educate you" into desperation, priming the pump for a later, lowball offer.
Ultimately, you decide what to ask for your home. But you deprive yourself of the professional counsel and expertise you're paying for if you fail to listen to your agent's advice and insights on the subject of listing price. They will point you to other properties that have sold in your area with similar features and use that data to help you understand the right price range for your home. Worried about setting the price too low? Get buyer's brokers' feedback with an advance broker's open house, and work with your agent on an advance plan for bringing the price down if you get no showings or buyer interest.
3. Deceptive listing descriptions or pictures.
Here's the deal: you will never trick someone into buying your home. If listing pics are photo-edited within an inch of their lives, buyers will learn this information at some point. If your neighborhood is described as funky and vibrant, because the house is under the train tracks and you live in between a wrecking yard and a biker bar, buyers will inevitably figure this out.
And misrepresentation alone is enough to turn otherwise interested buyers off. In cases where the buyer feels misled, whether or not that was your intention, they can't help but wonder: If they can't trust you to be honest about this, how can they trust you to be honest about everything else?
Buyers rely on sellers to be upfront and honest – so be both. If your home has features or aspects that most buyers will see as negative, your home's listing probably shouldn't lead with them. But neither should you go out of your way to slant or skew or spin the facts which will become instantly obvious to anyone who visits your home. And in any event, your pricing should account for all of your home's features, pros and cons.
4. New, bad, home improvements.
Many a buyer has walked into a house that has clearly been remodeled and upgraded in anticipation of the sale, only to have their heart sink with the further realization that the brand-spanking-new kitchen features a countertop made, not of Carerra marble, but brand-new, pink tiles with a kitty cat in the middle of each one. Or the pristine, just-installed floors feature carpet in a creamy shade of blue – the buyer's least favorite color.
New home improvements that run counter to a buyer's aesthetics are a big turn-off. In today's era of frugality, buyers just can't cotton to ripping out expensive, brand new, perfectly functioning things just on the basis of style – especially since they'll feel like they paid for these things in the price of the home.
Check in with a local broker or agent before you make a big investment in a pre-sale remodel. They can give you a reality check about the likely return on your investment, and help you prioritize about which projects to do (or not). Instead of spending $40,000 on a new, less-than-attractive kitchen, they might encourage you to update appliances, have the cabinets painted and spend a few grand on your curb appeal. Many times, they will also help you do the work of selecting neutral finishes that will work for the largest possible range of buyer tastes.
5. Bad photos or no photos at all.
Some of the listing photos that make it online are shockingly bad. They have dumpsters parked in front of the house, piles of laundry all over the "hardwood" floors touted in the listing description, and once, even the family dog doing his or her business in the lovely green front yard. Listing pictures that have put your home in anything but its best, accurate light are a very quick way to ensure that you turn off a huge number of buyers from even coming to see your house!
The only bigger buyer turn-off than these bizarre listing pics are listings that have no photos at all; most buyers on today's market see a listing with no pictures and click right on past it, without giving the place a second glance.
Before your home is on the market, ask your listing agent-to-be to see the online marketing for their current listings, to get a feel for how they operate. After your home is on the market, don't neglect to check top listing sites to be sure that the pics for your home's listing represent your home well. If not, ask your agent to grab some new shots and get them online (and say pretty please, pretty please!).

The fonds consists of 4 letters by Collier written to McKilvington and 1 letter from McKilvington to Collier. Collier's letters discuss the problems in getting a signed copy of his book to McKilvington, and also respond to McKilvington's letter with information about mutual friends in the Chilcotin and with opinions on the depletion of wildlife in the Chilcotin district. McKilvington's letter is autobiographical, and also contains his opinions on the depletion of wildlife in the Chilcotin, gun control and provincial game regulations. One letter is a response to a letter McKilvington sent to the provincial government on the mismanagement of wildlife, ostensibly written by Ken Kiernan (BC Minister of Recreation & Conservation) but, according to Collier, probably written by Jim Hatter, Kiernan's deputy. The newspaper clippings include an obituary of Collier, an article and letter by Collier, and two photographs of Mrs. Collier taken at local functions.

Pork chops
This is truly amazing …
"In a zoo in California, a mother tiger gave birth to a rare set of triplet tiger cubs. Unfortunately, due to complications in the pregnancy, the cubs were born prematurely and due to their tiny size, they died shortly after birth.
The mother tiger after recovering from the delivery suddenly started to decline in health, although physically she was fine. The veterinarians felt that the loss of her litter had caused the tigress to fall into a depression. The doctors decided that if the tigress could surrogate another mother's cubs, perhaps she would improve.
After checking with many other zoos across the country, the sad news was that there were no tiger cubs of the right age to introduce to the mourning mother. The veterinarians decided to try something that had never been tried in a zoo environment.
Sometimes a mother of one species will take on the care of a different species. The only orphans' that could be found quickly were a littler of weanling pigs. The zoo keepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and placed the babies around the mother tiger.
Would they become cubs or pork chops?
Take a look…you won't believe your eyes!!"
Isn't that incredible? LOVE their outfits =)

ZAFARNAMAH, ਜ਼ਫ਼ਰਨਾਮਾਹੑ, ظفرنامه Post 109
ZAFARNAMAH, ਜ਼ਫ਼ਰਨਾਮਾਹੑ, ظفرنامه Post 109
It all about a letter from Guru Gobind Singh Ji to Aurangzeb after leaving Kachhi Gadi of Chamkour. Guru Ji wrote this letter in Deena Kangad and send it to Aurangzeb.
In this letter, Guru Gobind Singh Ji reminds Aurangzeb how he and his henchmen had broken their oaths sworn upon the Qur'an. He also states that in spite of his several sufferings, he had won a moral victory over the Emperor who had broken all his vows. Despite sending a huge army to capture or kill the Guru Ji, the Mughal forces did not succeed in their mission.

The Day Approaches
1* Blow the horn in Zion,
sound the alarm on my holy mountain!
Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble,
for the day of the LORD is coming!a
Yes, it approaches,
2a day of darkness and gloom,
a day of thick clouds!
Like dawn* spreading over the mountains,
a vast and mighty army!
Nothing like it has ever happened in ages past,
nor will the future hold anything like it,
even to the most distant generations.b
3Before it,* fire devours,
behind it flame scorches.
The land before it is like the garden of Eden,
and behind it, a desolate wilderness;
from it nothing escapes.c
4Their appearance is that of horses;
like war horses they run.
5Like the rumble of chariots
they hurtle across mountaintops;
Like the crackling of fiery flames
devouring stubble;
Like a massive army
in battle formation.d
6Before them peoples tremble,
every face turns pale.e
7Like warriors they run,
like soldiers they scale walls,
Each advancing in line,
without swerving from the course.
8No one crowds the other;
each advances in its own track;
They plunge through the weapons;
they are not checked.
9They charge the city,
they run upon the wall,
they climb into the houses;
Through the windows
they enter like thieves.
10Before them the earth trembles;
the heavens shake;
Sun and moon are darkened,
and the stars withhold their brightness.f
11The LORD raises his voice
at the head of his army;
How immense is his host!
How numerous those who carry out his command!
How great is the day of the LORD!
Utterly terrifying! Who can survive it?g
Return to the Lord
12Yet even now—oracle of the LORD—
return to me with your whole heart,
with fasting, weeping, and mourning.
13Rend your hearts, not your garments,
and return to the LORD, your God,
For he is gracious and merciful,
slow to anger, abounding in steadfast love,
and relenting in punishment.h
14Perhaps he will again relent
and leave behind a blessing,*
Grain offering and libation
for the LORD, your God.i
15Blow the horn in Zion!
Proclaim a fast,
call an assembly!j
16Gather the people,
sanctify the congregation;
Assemble the elderly;
gather the children,
even infants nursing at the breast;
Let the bridegroom leave his room,
and the bride* her bridal tent.
17Between the porch and the altar*
let the priests weep,
let the ministers of the LORD weep and say:
"Spare your people, LORD!
do not let your heritage become a disgrace,
a byword among the nations!
Why should they say among the peoples,
'Where is their God?'"k
The Lord Relents. 18Then the LORD grew jealous* for his land and took pity on his people. 19In response the LORD said to his people:
I am sending you
grain, new wine, and oil,
and you will be satisfied by them;
Never again will I make you
a disgrace among the nations.
20The northerner* I will remove far from you,
driving them out into a dry and desolate land,
Their vanguard to the eastern sea,
their rearguard to the western sea,
And their stench will rise,
their stink will ascend,
What great deeds the Lord has done!
21Do not fear, O land!
delight and rejoice,
for the LORD has done great things!l
22Do not fear, you animals in the wild,
for the wilderness pastures sprout green grass.
The trees bear fruit,
the fig tree and the vine produce their harvest.
23Children of Zion, delight
and rejoice in the LORD, your God!
For he has faithfully given you the early rain,*
sending rain down on you,
the early and the late rains as before.m
24The threshing floors will be full of grain,
the vats spilling over with new wine and oil.
25I will repay you double
what the swarming locust has eaten,
The hopper, the consuming locust, and the cutter,
my great army I sent against you.n
26You will eat until you are fully satisfied,
then you will praise the name of the LORD, your God,
Who acts so wondrously on your behalf!
My people will never again be put to shame.
27Then you will know that I am in the midst of Israel:
I, the LORD, am your God, and there is no other;
my people will never again be put to shame.o
* [2:1–11] Joel warns the people about the destruction he sees galloping toward Jerusalem. He combines the imagery of the locust invasion (chap. 1) with language from the holy war tradition in order to describe the Lord leading a heavenly army against the enemy, in this case, Jerusalem.
* [2:2] Like dawn: from the east comes dark destruction rather than a new day's light.
* [2:3] Before it: fire precedes and follows the army's advance. Even the ravaged landscape of chap. 1 looks like a lush garden compared to the devastation this army leaves behind.
* [2:14] Blessing: the rain that makes possible the grapes and grain (v. 19) that workers will process into Temple offerings.
* [2:16] Elderly…infants…bridegroom…bride: Jerusalem is in such great danger that even those normally excused from fasting or working are called upon to participate in activities to ward off the imminent catastrophe.
* [2:17] Between the porch and the altar: the priests stood in the open space between the outdoor altar for burnt offerings and the Temple building.
* [2:18] Jealous: the Hebrew word describes the passionate empathetic bond the Lord has with Israel. The people's wholehearted participation in Joel's call for fasting and prayer sparks the Lord's longing to protect and love his people Israel. This desire moves him to withhold punishment and to send the blessing of v. 14 instead.
* [2:20] The northerner: the locusts, pictured as an invading army, which traditionally came from the north (Jer 1:14–15; Ez 26:7; 38:6, 15). Locusts are not usually an annual threat in Palestine, nor are they often associated with the north. However, to demonstrate the extent of the Lord's care for Judah and control over what happens within its borders, Joel assures his audience that the Lord will quickly drive the locusts out of Judah the coming spring, should they reappear. Dead locusts will litter the shores of the "eastern" (the Dead Sea) and the "western" (the Mediterranean) seas.
* [2:23] This autumn rain teaches the people to recognize God's compassionate presence in nature and history. There is a play on the double meaning of the Hebrew word moreh: "early rain" and "teacher." In the Dead Sea Scrolls, the word is used in the phrase "teacher (= moreh) of righteousness."
a. [2:1] Is 13:9; Jer 4:5; 6:1; 51:27; Hos 5:8; Zep 1:16.
b. [2:2] Is 13:14; Zep 1:4–15.
c. [2:3] Is 13:9; 51:3; Ez 36:35.

Clothes dryers are responsible for nearly 15,000 house fires each year. And according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the leading cause of dryer fires is failure to clean lint from the system.
We all know the importance of cleaning your dryer's lint trap to prevent dryer fires. But many homeowners neglect to look beyond the machine itself to inspect their home's dryer vent.
What is a dryer vent?
When you dry a load of laundry, your wet clothes produce moist, warm air. It's the job of your dryer vent to direct all that air outside of your home. The system itself is simple. But failing to keep your home's vent clean and clear of obstructions can have major consequences.
Why clean your dryer vent?
Your dryer's built-in lint trap is the first line of defense. But even if you clean the screen with every load, your dryer vent can still become filled with lint — reducing your dryer's efficiency and creating a serious fire hazard.
Luckily, a little routine maintenance can help prevent your dryer from working too hard or making a mess in the first place. Here are a few reasons why dryer vent cleaning is important:
- Save on utility bills. Dryers use more energy than nearly any other home appliance. Cleaning out your dryer vent increases its efficiency, which can save money on your gas or electric bills.
- Protect your clothes. Clogged vents can cause inaccurate cycles and longer drying times, leading to damp or scorched clothes. Clean the vent to help your wardrobe dry properly.
- Prevent dryer fires. Dryer fires peak in the winter months. Plan regular vent cleanings to help your dryer run safely throughout the entire year.
- Extend service life. Dryers have an average life expectancy of 14 years. Extend its service life by checking the hoses and cleaning the lint trap, heating element and exhaust duct.
How do you know if your dryer vent is clogged?
Blocked vents are one of the main culprits of dryer fires, causing millions of dollars in property damage each year. Want to know what happens when your dryer vent is blocked? Look for these warning signs:
- Your clothes dryer is warm to the touch.
- Your clothes take a long time to dry.
- Your laundry room is hot or humid when drying clothes.
- You find lint in, behind, or around your dryer.
- Your dryer's lint screen is filling up faster than normal.
How often should you clean your dryer vent?
According to the NFPA, you should clean your dryer vent at least once a year. But depending on your unique circumstances, it may need to be done as frequently as every few months.
Knowing how often to clean dryer vent systems depends on a number of factors: How many people live in your house; where your vent is located; how often you use your dryer; and whether or not you have pets. At a basic level, more hair and laundry means more lint to clean.
Here are some other factors that can cause lint to build up quickly:
- A broken vent cover: Exterior dryer vent covers are designed to prevent water, insects and other debris from getting into the vent. Without a cover, your vent can get blocked more easily by elements coming from outside your home.
- Improper ductwork: Bad materials and long, complicated hoses give lint more places to accumulate. PVC pipe and accordion-style mylar foil tubing aren't approved for dryer vent systems. Instead, use rigid metal ducts with a direct line to the exterior vent whenever possible. (Bonus fire safety tip: While you're checking materials, make sure your dryer vent hose is made of metal or foil and not plastic. If a plastic hose on a gas dryer is damaged during cleaning, carbon monoxide can escape when the dryer is running.)
- A pest in the ducts: That's right. Pests can get into your dryer vent system — especially if your vent cover is broken. You may notice inefficiencies at first, but the smell will be a dead giveaway.
How much does it cost to clean a dryer vent?
Like most home maintenance, general upkeep is cheaper than paying for expensive repairs. To have a professional clean your dryer vent, you'll likely spend somewhere between $80 and $200. But more complicated vent systems will take longer to clean (and cost more).
Can you clean your own dryer vent?
If you're the DIY type, you can purchase a dryer cleaning kit from a home improvement store for anywhere from $20 to $50. The price will go up depending on the quality of the kit's materials and the length of the cleaning rods. If you have the proper attachments, a household vacuum may work, too.
How to clean out dryer vent systems
With long hoses, exterior vents, and more, the process of cleaning your dryer vent may sound overwhelming. But knowing how to clean a dryer vent yourself can help laundry day run smoothly for years to come.
Here's how to clean your dryer vent safely and thoroughly:
- Unplug the dryer. Anytime you're repairing an appliance, disconnect it from the power source. Unplug the machine or shut it off from the electrical panel before you start cleaning.
- Pull the dryer away from the wall. Give yourself enough room to access the dryer vent. Move the dryer as far away as the hose will allow.
- Detach the dryer vent hose. Remove any clamps or screws attaching the hose to the wall or dryer. This could be difficult depending on the length of the hose and where it leads.
- Clean the moisture sensors. Wipe down the sensors inside your dryer with a cotton ball and rubbing alcohol. Do this each time you clean the dryer vent or when cycles become inefficient.
- Clean the hose. Use a vacuum to suction lint from both ends of the hose. Then, use the brush in your cleaning kit to clear out any trapped lint. Keep a wire hanger nearby to snake out debris if necessary. Just be careful to not damage the hose in the process.
- Reattach the hose. Put the hose back in its place and reattach any clamps or screws. Slide the dryer back against the wall.
- Clean the exterior vent. With the hose clear, head outside to your home's exterior vent. Remove the vent cover and clean any excess lint until the vent pipe is free from obstruction.
- Run the dryer. You'll need to know how to vent a dryer to finish the job. Reconnect the power and run the machine empty for 20 minutes on the air-dry setting. Check for air and lint blowing out of the exterior vent. Then, turn off the dryer and put the cover back on once the vent is clear.
- When in doubt, hire a pro. If at any point something doesn't look right – or you just feel like you're in over your head – call a professional. They may recommend a different system, find another problem or let you know it's time to replace your dryer.

The latest Hotmail update, that will be released as part of Windows Live Wave 4, tries to show that Microsoft finally managed to develop a better email service than Gmail and, in many ways, succeeds.
Hotmail improved its spam detection algorithms and it's now able to tweak some parameters based on your actions. Hotmail can now flag messages as spam even after you've received them.
Another interesting improvement is that Hotmail categorizes messages, so you can quickly find the messages from your contacts, messages from mailing lists or notifications from social networks.
Hotmail no longer has limitations for email storage and the main reason is that large attachments can be stored in Windows Live SkyDrive. "With Hotmail, we've combined the simplicity of sending photos through email with the power of Windows Live SkyDrive so that you can send up to 200 photos, each up to 50 MB in size, all in a single email. You can send all your vacation photos at once without worrying about attachment limits," explains Microsoft. This is an important feature that's missing from Gmail and it's surprising that you can't upload photos to Picasa Web Albums or upload documents to Google Docs directly from Gmail.
Microsoft also integrated Hotmail with Office Web Apps, so that documents can be previewed and edited online, without having to install an office suite. Now that attachments are stored in a single place, the total attachment limit for a message is 10 GB, while Gmail offers about 7 GB of storage for all your messages.
Hotmail added many of the features that used to be available only in Gmail: conversation view, full session SSL, watching YouTube videos inline, but Microsoft managed to make some improvements. The active view feature doesn't work only for YouTube, it's enabled for many other sites (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn), so you can accept invitations or reply to a Twitter message directly from Hotmail. There's also a feature that lets you create a single-use password for signing in on public computers.
Google has a lot to do to catch up with the new Hotmail, but that's a good thing. Competition is what makes products better.

Palm, maker of the Pre and Pixi smartphones, is facing desperate times.
American Banking News has reported that Palm's production halt continues as it is unable to sell the stockpile of webOS handsets it has built up. There's no official word from Palm, but the announcement seems likely to be true as Palm stock plunged 30 percent to around $4 a share following the news.
Palm has a rich history and helped to launch the PDA and smartphone movements. Lately, it has struggled to keep up with Apple iPhone and Research in Motion Blackberry smartphones. And smartphones have largely killed the market for PDAs, so Palm can no longer seek refuge in that market.
In 2008, Palm saw the writing on the wall and made an ambitious bid to retake the market. After much investment, it unveiled webOS, its new smartphone operating system. In June 2009, the Palm Pre launched on Sprint, America's third largest wireless carrier.
Commentary on the smartphone and its OS was mixed, but overall was somewhat positive. The interface was much like the iPhone, but it lacked the iPhone's extensive app library and used slower interpreted code for apps (as opposed to native code). Perks, though, included multitasking and a physical keyboard.
Since the launch of the Pre, Palm has done its best to beef up its offerings, releasing the cheaper Palm Pixi handset and the Palm Pre Plus on Verizon, the nation's largest network (Sprint was the first to get the Pixi). It also released a new software development kit that allowed native application code via the Simple Direct MediaLayer. The results were impressive -- Palm devs were able to quickly port both Doom and Quake to the phone, a feat impossible with interpreted code.
For all that effort, Palm's sales continued to slip as it saw Apple and RIM post gains. People simply didn't seem interested in the Palm handsets.
Over The Air in February reported that Palm had shut down its production of webOS handsets. Palm claimed at the time that the shutdown was temporary -- just a closure for the Chinese New Year.
Now it appears that the shutdown was not just for the holidays. Palm's poor sales, showcased by its miserable Q1 2010 calendar quarter (its fiscal Q3 2010), are catching up to it and it is developing a large overstock of webOS phones. According to Morgan Stanley Analyst Ehud Geldblum, Palm this quarter produced 960,000 phones, but amazingly has only sold 408,000 of them. The total overstock is estimated to be 1.5 million units, following a 29 percent drop in sales in the first quarter of this year, which ends at the end of this month. Palm's revenue has reportedly dropped $22M USD over the current quarter.
To put Palm's unfortunate failure in context, Google's Android sold 5.5 million units in Q4 2009 and Apple moved 7.5 million iPhones. That means that Palm's sales for entire quarter are approximately the number of units Apple or Google sell in a single week.
Even if Palm was incredibly able to continue the sales pace of its Pre and Pixi (which is perhaps possible given its new Verizon contact), it would take nearly a year before it could sell off its stock. By then new Android handsets would have arrived, a new iPhone, and Windows Mobile 7 -- all while Palm is stuck trying to unload increasingly dated handsets.
Palm will likely be forced to turn to deep discounting. At first blush this might seem happy news for the consumer, but ultimately it is not a good thing as it will hurt Palm badly, which in turn will hurt Palm's ability to promote a successful app market for consumers.
Despite all the bad news surrounding Palm these days, there was a bit of good news for the company today. AT&T announced that both the Pre Plus and the Pixi Plus will be heading to its network "soon".
