Today was not a day in my dysfunctional "to do list" to write a post. No, today was a day for me to wallow in self pity for the simple reason that my child has grown up and is no longer a Kindergartner and is going to Grade 1 tomorrow.
Not my fault, solely nature's, I mean the "growing up" part. But as a Mom it is my birth right to put my hormones to full use and make a big senti deal of the whole growing up thing. The way Moms pine about the baby growing up you would think they are happiest cleaning poop and staying awake through the night. But all that sentimental mush would have done nicely for a post and with a balanced dose of nostalgia, melodrama and some pre-school rhymes it could have soared my blog hits.
I had even thought up choice phrases to write a teary post about how the little baby who looked into my eyes 5 year 8 months 3hours and 45 minutes back is no longer little and entering the big bad world (actually a school only fifteen mins away from home) .But all that will have to wait, for there is a fishy situation.
A Bong Mom or (maybe a true Bong Dad but not the resident one) will abandon fisrt born's milestones for the love of fish and that is exactly what happened here. Indrani sent me a reminder about the Fish event at her blog and luck had it that there was a brand new, still smelling fresh ,fish recipe sitting in my draft which was only waiting to be posted for a fishy event.
It is called Prawn Patia or Prawn Paatia or something similar. I had no clue that this dish existed, I am pretty clueless you might think but that is the truth. So I was clueless until I saw this name in Kalyan's blog. He is a clever Bong guy whose best half is a Parsi, a very intelligent thing to do, i.e. to marry into another culture, that way you get to sample lots of variety in food at home itself. Now though I have hardly ever had Parsi food, I have this fascination for Parsi food. So when I saw that Prawn Patia was a Parsi dish, I simply had to make it.
Kalyan had no recipe in his blog or maybe I wasn't able to find one, so the recipe I thought would be most fitting for such a dish is from RecipeZaar. I adapted the recipe and the result was delicious. All those whole coriander, cumin and fennel used for tempering added a lovely new flavor to the dish. I also dry roasted and ground a part of the above spices to make a powder which was not called for but I used in the recipe. I gave the tamarind a miss, the vinegar provided the tartness that suited our taste.The only thing I wasn't too sure of was the consistency of the gravy, any verdict ?
Going to the event @ Appayan with Prawn Patia is Doi Maach, a bengali preparation of fish in yogurt sauce and Bhapa Ilish, steamed Hilsa in mustard sauce.

Prawn Patia
My adaptation of this recipe
Dry Roast 1 tsp Cumin Seeds, 1 tsp Corriander Seeds and 1/2 tsp Fennel Seeds. Cool and grind to a powder in a spice mill
Squeeze some lime juice and salt on the shrimp and set it aside. I had about 15-20 frozen shrimp which I defrosted.
Make a wet paste of 2 cups of chopped red onion + 4 green chili + 2" ginger + 2-4 cloves of garlic + 3 tbsp yogurt + very little water
Start Cooking
Heat a Frying Pan/Kadhai
Toast 1/2 tsp of Cumin seed, 1/2 tsp of Coriander seed and 1/4 tsp of Fennel seeds
Add Oil
Add 1/2 tsp of Mustard seed, 1/4 tsp of Paprika, 1/4 tsp of Red Chili Powder
When the spices start popping lower the heat and add the wet onion paste. Fry this for 20-25 minutes at medium heat till you see it turning golden and there is no raw smell. This will need some time, don't try to hasten the process.
Add the dry roasted spice powder,1 tbsp of tomato puree, 1 tsp of white vinegar, salt and sugar to taste. Fry for 5 more minutes
Add about 1/2 cup of water and let the gravy come to a simmer. Add the shrimp but do not over cook it.
To finish off I added about 1/4 cup of fat free half and half but this is not in the original recipes
When the shrimp is done garnish with some finely chopped coriander and serve with hot rice

Why You Need A Theft Claims Adjuster
Most people will think that, after losing a lot of property and assets from thievery, it's not worth it to seek professional help in getting insurance money. But here in Keys Claims Consultants, LLC, we work hard to make sure that you will save not just money, but so much more time and effort in recovering from a stressful theft of your property.
Most insurance policies are very technical collections of information. So getting a personal claims adjuster for all types of damage claiming situations is always an excellent investment. However, the unique thing about a theft claim is that most of the process involves analyzing police reports of the scene. Knowing which can be covered by the insurance consists of relying heavily on police documentation, such as photos, videos, credit card statements, appraisals, and the like.
To further the investigation or if police reports don't suffice, some companies will turn to examinations under oath, asking the insured person to testify about the incidents. Other sources of technical information can be financial documentation from the insured and copies of tax returns and other support materials to show that the insured affords the costs of the allegedly stolen items.
Analyzing these tasks require a certain amount of expertise, and insurance companies have their claims adjusters that are geared to work toward the companies' interests. Working with a claims adjuster will give you a better fighting chance handling the technicalities of insurance policies and police reports. With Keys Claims Consultants, LLC, we work hard to make sure your rights are protected in an insurance claims negotiation and that you get a good chance for a good insurance payout.

Paris (UK: /ˈpærɪs/ PARR-iss; US: i/ˈpɛərɪs/ PAIR-iss; French: [paʁi]) is the capital and most populous city of France. Situated on the Seine River, in the north of the country, it is in the centre of the Île-de-France region, also known as the région parisienne, "Paris Region". The City of Paris has an area of 105 km² (41 mi²) and a population of 2,241,346 (2014 estimate) within its administrative borders essentially unchanged since 1860.
Since the 19th century, the built-up area of Paris has grown far beyond its administrative borders; together with its suburbs, the whole agglomeration has a population of 10,550,350 (Jan. 2012 census).Paris' metropolitan area spans most of the Paris region and has a population of 12,341,418 (Jan. 2012 census), or one-fifth of the population of France. The administrative region covers 12,012 km² (4,638 mi²), with approximately 12 million inhabitants as of 2014, and has its own regional council and president.
Paris was founded in the 3rd century BC by a Celtic people called the Parisii, who gave the city its name. By the 12th century, Paris was the largest city in the western world, a prosperous trading centre, and the home of the University of Paris, one of the first in Europe. In the 18th century, it was the centre stage for the French Revolution, and became an important centre of finance, commerce, fashion, science, and the arts, a position it still retains today.
"Paris (Ooh La La)" is the second single from Grace Potter and the Nocturnals' eponymous third studio album.
Oscar Jackson, Jr. (born October 29, 1967), better known by his stage name Paris, is an American rapper from San Francisco, California, known for his highly charged political and socially conscious lyrics. Influenced by the Black Panthers, he was once a member of the Nation of Islam, but now is agnostic.
Paris was catapulted onto the national scene in 1990 with his hit single The Devil Made Me Do It and album of the same name, after earning a bachelor's degree in economics from UC Davis. Originally released on Tommy Boy Records, his first single was banned by MTV. Since then his stance on political issues and social commentary have both aided and hindered his quest to bring his music and messages to the masses.
When his second album, Sleeping with the Enemy, was ready for release in 1992, Paris was dropped from now-defunct Tommy Boy Records (since rechristened Tommy Boy Entertainment in 2002) and distributor Warner Bros. Records, owned by Time Warner, when the parent company discovered its incendiary content, which included fantasy revenge killings of then-President Bush and racist police officers. Also problematic was the album's insert, which featured the artist waiting behind a tree, holding a Tec 9, as the president was waving to the crowd. Paris eventually released the LP himself on his newly formed Scarface Records. Also in 1992, Paris contributed to industrial music band Consolidated's 1992 album Play More Music with the track "Guerrillas in the Mist."

"No substantive progress has been made." That's what House Speaker John Boehner had to say Thursday about efforts to avoid automatic spending cuts and tax increases at year's end.
The administration's lead negotiator, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, met with congressional leaders from both sides of the aisle Thursday, looking for an agreement on the hazard Congress and the White House created last year to focus their minds on deficit reduction.
Perhaps the most important sticking point is over income tax rates. The outcome of the negotiations will determine how many Americans will face higher tax rates — and how much of a hike it will be.
Obama's Proposal
President Obama has proposed that top tax rates for well-off Americans rise to their levels from before the Bush-era tax cuts. But he wants to keep the Bush tax cuts for the middle class. So income tax rates for couples making less than $250,000 and individuals making less than $200,000 would remain where they are.
What would that mean for you? Well, if you're among the well-off and earn more than those amounts, the money you make above those levels would be taxed at 36 percent and 39.6 percent — up a few points from where they are taxed now, and exactly where they were during the Clinton administration. For the top 1 percent of taxpayers, this change would boost their tax bill a lot.
"That tax increase would amount to something in the neighborhood of $120,000," says Donald Marron, co-director of the Tax Policy Center.
The center has crunched a lot of numbers related to the tax effects of the fiscal cliff and the various proposals to avoid it. Len Burman, who used to run the center but now is a professor at Syracuse University, says allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire for the well-off would put a dent in the deficit.
"Raising the tax rates to basically the pre-Bush levels for the high-income people would raise about $850 billion over 10 years," he says.
But would that be a bulldozer-size dent or a baseball-size dent in the deficit?
"It's significant ... but we're looking at $10 trillion-plus in deficits over the next 10 years, so this is less than 10 percent of the total," Burman says.
The president would reduce the deficit an additional 5 percentage points through his proposal to reduce the value of tax deductions for the wealthy.
The Fiscal Plunge Scenario
But what if policymakers can't reach an agreement and we go over this fiscal cliff? Tax rates would go up across the board. The Tax Policy Center says about 90 percent of Americans would see their tax bill increase.
"For a middle-income household, this increase would be around $2,000; for a low-income household, it would be around $400," says center co-director Marron.
While that's not a pleasant thought, allowing the Bush-era tax cuts to expire for everyone would cut deficits significantly, Burman says.
"We'd raise $2.2 trillion in income tax revenues over the next 10 years and $430 billion in estate tax revenues," he says.
That would cut projected deficits by about 25 percent over the next 10 years — a much more sizable chunk, but still not enough to solve the deficit problem.
Of course, the shock to the economy of the abrupt tax hikes and spending cuts would likely cause the economy to plunge back into recession. That's really why they call it the "fiscal cliff."
GOP Pushes Tax Reform
Republicans say hiking rates for anyone is the wrong approach. They want to extend the Bush tax cuts for everyone for one more year. That would mean a $400 billion boost to next year's projected deficit.
But during the year, Republicans say, Washington could work on changes to tax policy and entitlements and try to close the budget gap for the long term. Glenn Hubbard, dean of Columbia University's School of Business and an adviser to Mitt Romney, agrees. He says raising rates is a bad idea.
"I'd rather see us talk about tax reform," Hubbard says. "That is, have the Congress say, 'OK, here's the dollars that we need to raise in revenue, now let's talk about a better tax system.' "

Outdated egg!
This is an egg for CHICKEN 3, the unsupported old release. You're almost certainly looking for the CHICKEN 4 version of this egg, if it exists.
If it does not exist, there may be equivalent functionality provided by another egg; have a look at the egg index. Otherwise, please consider porting this egg to the current version of CHICKEN.
A pure Scheme implementation of the 9p networked filesystem protocol.
Requires the iset egg.
9p is an implementation of the networked file system protocol known as 9P, specifically version 9P2000 which is also known as "Styx". This protocol is used by the Plan 9 operating system and the wmii window manager, among others.
This implementation includes a low-level implementation of the protocol that is suitable both for writing clients and servers and a high-level client implementation. There currently are no concrete plans for a high-level server implementation, but contributions are of course very welcome :)
The low-level implementation is documented below under 9p-lolevel and the high-level client implementation under 9p-client. The high-level client is discussed first, because this is the one you will most likely need.
The basic library was modeled after Chicken's Unit posix and a few choice other procedures that interact with the filesystem. Most procedures from Unit posix are available under the same name, prefixed with 9p:. Where possible, the procedure's signature has been unmodified, except for an additional leading argument that specifies the connection with the 9p server.
(use 9p-client) (use utf8)
It is highly recommended you require utf8 in your applications, as 9p is a utf8-aware protocol. It is not a dependency of this egg because in some situations you might decide it's safe to leave it out, for performance or memory footprint reasons.
Connection management
Before doing anything else, you must establish a connection with the server. This is done with the 9p:client-connect procedure.
[procedure] (9p:client-connect inport outport [user] [mountpoint])The inport and outport arguments are the ports you use to communicate to the server. The user argument is the name of the user that creates the files. It defaults to the empty string. There is no support for authentication, so the user name is simply used for newly created files on servers that support usernames (wmii doesn't, for example). The mountpoint also defaults to the empty string, which selects the "default mount point" on the server. If the server has multiple mountpoints it exports, you can select with this argument.
The procedure returns a connection object you must keep and use in all subsequent 9p procedure calls.
You can use the following procedures to obtain some more information on the connection:
[procedure] (9p:connection-outport connection)[procedure] (9p:connection-inport connection)
Get back the underlying ports you passed to 9p:client-connect.
[procedure] (9p:connection-message-size connection)The maximum size of a low-level message as negotiated in the connection handshake. Not very useful unless you would like to write some custom messages. This includes the size of the tag (2 bytes) and the message type (1 byte).
[procedure] (9p:client-disconnect connection)Disconnect from the server described by connection. This clunks any fids that are still open (in Unix terms: closes any open file descriptors).
[procedure] (9p:connection? object)You can verify an object is a connection to a 9p server with this predicate.
Files as ports
[procedure] (9p:with-output-to-file connection file thunk)Open file on the 9p connection connection and call thunk with the current-output-port set to a port that writes to the file. When the thunk finishes, the port is closed.
[procedure] (9p:call-with-output-file connection file procedure)Open file on the 9p connection connection and call procedure with an output-port that corresponds to the file. When the procedure finishes, the port is closed. Procedure should accept one argument, the output-port.
[procedure] (9p:open-output-file connection file [mode])Create an output port that will write to the given file on the 9p connection connection. If the file exists, it is truncated. If it does not exist yet it will be created. If the optional mode is given, it determines with what permissions the file will be created, if it is a new file. See below for the list of file permissions.
Don't forget to close the output port (with close-output-port) when you finish writing to it!
[procedure] (9p:with-input-from-file connection file thunk)Open file on the 9p connection connection and call thunk with the current-input-port set to a port that reads from the file. When the thunk finishes, the port is closed.
[procedure] (9p:call-with-input-file connection file procedure)Open file on the 9p connection connection and call procedure with an input-port that corresponds to the file. When the procedure finishes, the port is closed. Procedure should accept one argument, the input-port.
[procedure] (9p:open-input-file connection file)Create an input port that will read from the given file on the 9p connection connection.
Don't forget to close the input port (with close-input-port when you finish reading from it!
[procedure] (9p:directory? connection path)Returns #t if the given path on the connection is a directory, #f if not.
[procedure] (9p:create-directory connection path permissions)Create a directory on the connection with the given path. It will have the specified permissions, see below for the available permissions.
[procedure] (9p:directory connection directory [show-dotfiles?])Returns a list with the contents of the directory on the connection. Files beginning with . are included only if show-dotfiles? is given and not #f.
[procedure] (9p:regular-file? connection path)Returns #t if the given path on the connection is a regular file, #f if not. 9p does not support symlinks or FIFOs, so this is the same as (not (9p:directory? connection path)), even if the underlying FS is a Unix FS (the 9p egg currently does not (and probably will never) support 9P2000.u).
[procedure] (9p:delete-file connection path)Delete the file indicated by path on the connection. If the file does not exist or you do not have permission to delete it, an error is signaled.
[procedure] (9p:file-stat connection path)Returns a 9-element vector which contains information about the file indicated by path on the connection. It has the following contents:
- The QID of the file (The qid can be queried with the QID procedures from 9p-lolevel.
- The permission mode (See the permission bits section for a description)
- The access time of the file. This is an integer which indicates the server-time when the file was last accessed. There is no way to determine what the server's time is using the 9p protocol, so you can only use this for comparing timestamps of files on the same server unless you use an additional protocol to find out about the server's current time and zone.
- The modification time of the file. This is an integer which indicates the server-time when the file was last modified.
- The file's size in bytes.
- The filename of the file.
- The user who owns the file (a string, not a uid, because Plan9 has only user and group names, not numerical ids).
- The group who owns the file (a string)
- The user who last modified the file (a string)
[procedure] (9p:file-permissions connection path)Returns the permissions of the file indicated by path on the connection. See the permission bits section for a description of the possible bits.
[procedure] (9p:file-access-time connection path)Returns the access time of the file indicated by path on the connection. See the notes under 9p:file-stat.
[procedure] (9p:file-modification-time connection path)Returns the modification time of the file indicated by path on the connection. See the notes under 9p:file-stat.
[procedure] (9p:file-size connection path)Returns the size, in bytes, of the file indicated by path on the connection.
[procedure] (9p:file-owner connection path)Returns the name of the owner, as a string, of the file indicated by path on the connection.
[procedure] (9p:file-group connection path)Returns the name of the owning group, as a string, of the file indicated by path on the connection.
[procedure] (9p:file-last-modified-by connection path)Returns the name of the user, as a string, who last changed the file indicated by path on the connection.
File handles and low-level calls
These calls are not on the protocol level, as the 9p-lolevel library procedures, but they are more low-level than the other procedures in the 9p-client library because they allow you to work on the file handle level.
[procedure] (9p:file-open connection path mode)Opens the file indicated by path on the connection with the given mode and returns an opaque handle object which you can use for the other procedures described in this section. For bit flags that the mode can take, see the open flags section.
[procedure] (9p:file-create connection path permissions mode)Creates and opens the file indicated by path on the connection with the given permission and mode and returns an opaque handle object which you can use for the other procedures described in this section. For bit flags that the mode can take, see the open flags section. For bit flags that the permission can take, see the permission bits section.
[procedure] (9p:file-close handle)Close the file indicated by handle. It is not an error to close a file more than once.
[procedure] (9p:file-read handle size)Read size bytes from the file with the given handle. This procedure returns a list with two values: the buffer containing the data and the number of bytes read.
[procedure] (9p:file-write handle buffer [size])Writes the contents of the string or bytevector buffer into the file with the given handle. If the optional argument size is given, then only the specified number of bytes are written.
[procedure] (9p:set-file-position! handle position [whence])Sets the current read/write position of handle to position, which should be an exact integer. whence specifies how the position is to interpreted and should be one of the values seek/set, seek/cur and seek/end. It defaults to seek/set.
[procedure] (9p:file-position handle)Returns the current read/write position of the handle.
[procedure] (9p:handle-stat handle)Just like 9p:file-stat, except it works on a handle instead of on a connection with a filename.
Low-level handle access
If you want to get really dirty and low-level you can modify file handles with the following procedures. This is not recommended, but sometimes required if you want to do some custom things just above the protocol level and extend the client library instead of writing your own.
[procedure] (9p:path-walk connection path [starting-point])Obtain a handle for the file identified by path on the connection without opening it. You must not forget to clunk the handle's FID (or just call 9p:file-close on the handle). starting-point is an optional handle to a directory from which to start walking. It defaults to the root directory (/).
If all you need is a temporary handle/FID for a message to the server, you can use this utility procedure:
[procedure] (9p:with-handle-to connection path procedure)This will call procedure with one argument: a temporary handle which represents the path on the connection. After the procedure returns, the handle will be deallocated and the FID will no longer be valid. This returns whatever procedure returned. If a condition is signaled, the handle will be deallocated properly and the FID clunked.
The 9p-client library keeps track of FIDs for you so you do not have to remember numbers. If you wish to send low-level messages yourself you should allocate and release FIDs through the library so your FIDs can't clash with the FIDs the library uses:
[procedure] (9p:alloc-handle connection)Allocate a handle on the connection. This returns a handle object which you can query with the following procedures:
[procedure] (9p:handle-connection handle)[procedure] (9p:handle-fid handle)
[procedure] (9p:handle-position handle)
[procedure] (9p:handle-iounit handle)
The fid is allocated from an internal pool of free fids. The position is initialized to 0, and used as an offset for read/write procedures (the server does not keep track of this for us in the 9p protocol).
The iounit defaults to #f and you are expected to set it manually (normally, 9p:file-open and 9p:file-create do this for you). is returned as part of the Ropen and Rcreate replies and is the maximum size of a data transfer (either read or write). If the server returns 0, the iounit should default to the size returned by 9p:connection-message-size minus 24.
Once you are done with a handle, you must either pass the handle to 9p:file-close (or just disconnect with 9p:client-disconnect) or call 9p:release-handle:
[procedure] (9p:release-handle handle)important: be sure to clunk the handle's fid first. 9p:release-handle does not clunk the fid.
Sending messages
A code using 9p-client normally never needs to send raw messages, but in case it does, there is one convenience procedure that does just a bit more than the raw 9p-lolevel procedures do:
[procedure] (9p:request connection type . args)This creates a new 9p:message object (see below) with a tag and the given type. args are the message-contents. It then sends this request to the server and awaits a response. The response should match the request (a Twhatever should result in a Rwhatever message), or a condition of type (exn 9p-response-error) is signaled. If the server returns an error (via Rerror), a condition of type (exn 9p-server-error) is signaled. The response object (a 9p:message object) is returned.
This library allows you to build your own client or server abstraction library. This documentation will not make a lot of sense if you haven't read the 9p protocol documentation.
(use 9p-lolevel) (use utf8)
Again, utf8 is highly recommended but not strictly required.
Messages are main concept in the 9p protocol. They can be created as follows:
[procedure] (make-9p:message type tag contents)The type is a symbol, one of
Tversion Rversion Tauth Rauth Tattach Rattach Rerror Tflush Rflush Twalk Rwalk Topen Ropen Tcreate Rcreate Tread Rread Twrite Rwrite Tclunk Rclunk Tremove Rremove Tstat Rstat Twstat Rwstat
As you can see, all messages (except Rerror) come in pairs: there is a transmit message (that starts with a T) and a response message (that starts with an R). The client sends transmit messages and the server sends response message in return. It must either send the matching response message or Rerror. It is not allowed to return a different message, nor is it allowed for the client to send a response message or the server to send a transmit message.
The tag is a unique identifier that allows the client to keep track of what it sent and what responses belong to what transmissions. The client sends a message with a given tag and the server will respond with the matching response message bearing the same tag. This allows a client to send messages asynchronously, as long as they all have a different tag. Then the responses can come in any order and be handled at any time and still be understood if the client keeps a list of sent tags and what transmissions belonged to them. The 9p-client library always sends messages synchronously, waiting for replies before sending new transmissions. This allows it to use a constant tag all the time.
The contents are a list whose contents differ per message type. For instance, a Tversion message's contents consist of an msize (a maximum message size) and a string which indicates the protocol version. Currently the 9p-lolevel implicitly assumes the 9P2000 version of the protocol because of the way it is constructed. If it turns out to be useful to support different versions, the egg's API will most likely change in order to allow for more flexibility.
You can of course query and modify the message objects with the following procedures: <procedure>(9p:message? object)</procedure> <procedure>(9p:message-type message)</procedure> <procedure>(9p:message-type-set! message new-type)</procedure> <procedure>(9p:message-tag message)</procedure> <procedure>(9p:message-tag-set! message new-tag)</procedure> <procedure>(9p:message-contents message)</procedure> <procedure>(9p:message-contents-set! message new-contents)</procedure>
[procedure] (9p:send-message outport message)Sends the message on the output-port outport.
[procedure] (9p:receive-message inport)Waits for a message on input-port inport and returns a 9p message-object.
A QID is an unique identifier for a file on the server; two QIDs are the same iff they point to the same file. A QID has three fields which can be queried with the following procedures:
[procedure] (9p:qid-type qid)[procedure] (9p:qid-version qid)
[procedure] (9p:qid-path qid)
You can create a QID using the make-9p:qid procedure:
[procedure] (make-9p:qid type version path)Finally, you can check if an object is a QID object with the 9p:qid? predicate:
[procedure] (9p:qid? object)The fields of the QID will be described next.
First, the type of a QID is a bitwise field which consists of several of the following constants ORed together:
[constant] 9p:qtfile9p:qtfile indicates that the file is, in fact, a file. Because everything in Plan9 is a file, this is always true, even for directories. It does not mean that the file is a regular file.
[constant] 9p:qtdir
9p:qtdir indicates that the file is a directory.
[constant] 9p:qtappend9p:qtappend indicates that the file is an append-only file.
[constant] 9p:qtexcl9p:qtexcl indicates that the file is marked for exclusive-use. This means that only one client can have this file open at any time.
[constant] 9p:qtauth9p:qtauth indicates that the file is an authentication file established by AUTH messages.
[constant] 9p:qttmp
9p:qttmp indicates that the file is a "temporary file". In practice this means that the file is not included in nightly backups.
The version of a QID is a version number for the file which is incremented every time the file is modified.
The path of a QID is an integer that is unique among all files in the file hierarchy (ie, this uniquely identifies the file in the FS).
Permission bits
The permissions below can be ORed together bitwise to produce the desired permission mode. When creating new files, the execute bit is ignored by the server unless you're creating a directory, so it is safe to always include it.
Note: The 9p protocol documentation is not very consistent in naming these. Sometimes it refers to permissions as mode, and sometimes as perm or permission. On other occasions, it refers to the open flags as mode. Read carefully and check the context!
[constant] 9p:perm/irusr[constant] 9p:perm/iwusr
[constant] 9p:perm/ixusr
These constants determine the permissions for the user who owns the file: read, write and execute, respectively.
[constant] 9p:perm/irgrp[constant] 9p:perm/iwgrp
[constant] 9p:perm/ixgrp
These constants determine the permissions for the group that owns the file: read, write and execute, respectively.
[constant] 9p:perm/iroth[constant] 9p:perm/iwoth
[constant] 9p:perm/ixoth
These constants determine the permissions for others: read, write and execute, respectively.
There are some additional "permissions" that can be used on Tcreate messages, which are not really permissions but rather modes that change the way the file behaves (hence the inconsistence of the docs). These are like the 'special' bits in Unix like sticky/setuid etc. These are the following:
[constant] 9p:dmdirThis is used to create directories instead of files with Tcreate.
[constant] 9p:dmappendThe file can only be appended to.
[constant] 9p:dmexclThe file is 'exclusive', it can only be opened by one client at a time.
[constant] 9p:dmauthThe file is an authentication file, as established by AUTH messages.
[constant] 9p:dmtmpThe file is to be considered "temporary". In practice this means that it is not included in nightly backups.
Open flags
These flags are useful when opening a new file (for use in the Topen/Tcreate messages). These can be ORed together bitwise to produce the desired mode.
[constant] 9p:open/rdonlyThe file is to be opened only for reading.
[constant] 9p:open/wronlyThe file is to be opened only for writing.
[constant] 9p:open/rdwrThe file is to be opened both for reading and writing.
[constant] 9p:open/truncThe file is to be truncated on opening.
[constant] 9p:open/rcloseThe file is to be removed upon closing (ie, when the FID is clunked).
Utility procedures
[procedure] (9p:data->directory-listing data show-dotfiles?)Because the 9p protocol requires you to use the Tread/Rread messages to read both from files and directories, the Rread response can be considered to be a polymorphic type. In case of files, the data is simply a bytestream, but in case of directories, the data will be structured. This means the data needs to be decoded.
This procedures decodes the data obtained from the Rread message and returns a list of filenames which are the directory listing for the directory that was read. If show-dotfiles? is #f files starting with a dot are excluded from the list.
Note: The converse procedure, 9p:directory-listing->data, is currently not implemented.
Here's a simple example that talks to a wmii server. Note that if you're really looking for a Scheme library to script your wmiirc files, you probably want the wmiirc egg instead of using the raw 9p protocol directly.
(use 9p-client posix unix-sockets) (receive (in out) (unix-connect (sprintf "/tmp/ns.~A.:0/wmii" (getenv "USER"))) (let ((con (9p:client-connect in out))) (printf "Current tabs on left bar: ~A\n" (9p:directory con "/lbar")) (printf "Label on first tab on left bar: ~A\n" (9p:with-input-from-file con `("lbar" ,(car (9p:directory con "/lbar"))) read-string )) ;; Write something to the right bar (9p:with-output-to-file con "/rbar/status" (lambda () (printf "Yo, what's up?"))) (9p:client-disconnect con)))
This prints something like
Current tabs on left bar: (3 2 1) Label on first tab on left bar: #888888 #222222 #333333 3
And it shows the string "Yo, what's up?" on your status bar.
- 0.5 Add mutex handling to ensure thread-safety
- 0.4 When reading files, EOF gets reported only when the file really is at an end (fixes reading from FIFO-like files)
- 0.3 Don't allow output 9p ports to return values when all other values are (void), allow multiple return values in with-output/with-input thunks
- 0.2 Fix 9p:open-output-file bug, make path-walk accept handles
- 0.1 Initial release

As a restaurateur, you know there are many ingredients needed to run a successful business. And restaurant ownership is challenging enough, without having to worry about food spoilage caused by equipment breakdown, fire damage, and employee or customer injuries onsite.
Restaurant insurance helps protect you from the risks you face as a restaurant owner so you can put your focus where it belongs: your food, your customers, and providing a great experience.
Adequate restaurant insurance can help reduce exposing your restaurant to unneeded risk, and ensures your restaurant is ready to do business with all-in-one property insurance, liability insurance, worker's comp, vehicle insurance and business interruption insurance.
Who Needs Restaurant Insurance?
We offer insurance to cover all food service businesses including:
- Bar Insurance
- Café Insurance
- Cafeteria Insurance
- Catering Insurance
- Diner Insurance
- Deli Insurance
- Food Delivery Insurance
- Fast Food Insurance
- Pizza Restaurant Insurance
- Lounge Insurance
Some restaurants require specialized coverages, and we can help you navigate the issue facing the type of business you own, or wish to create.
What's covered in a restaurant insurance policy?
There are typically three important areas to making a solid restaurant insurance plan. These coverages include:
- Business Owners Policy (BOP) which protects restaurants through general liability property insurance, loss of income coverage and more. It may also provide protection against lawsuits and other financial liabilities that result from customers slipping on a wet floor, or building damage from fire, or lawsuits and other business related risks.
- Workers' Compensation Insurance can help cover medical costs and a portion of lost wages for employees who become sick or are injured on the job.
- Business Crime insurance protects you from losses both within and outside your restaurant from employee theft, robbery and forgery.
- Restaurant Vehicles may also need to be covered in some cases.
- Cyber Liability
Worried about the cost?
Items you might consider, including:
- Monthly payment options to help spread out your payments so you can better manage your your cash flow
- Coverage of temporary staff, full-time employees, and independent contractors
- Claims responsiveness when time is of the essence, especially in the event of an insurance claim
- Tailored coverage for the specific risks of your restaurant type
- Knowledgeable agents who provide exceptional, passionate service
- Coverage for events satisfying most standard event requirements
- Fast and simple online quotes, or helpful agents, immediate coverage
The Foy Insurance Difference
You may think you want the cheapest insurance you can find, but realize you may not be getting everything you bargained for…
While most insurance products are similar in price and function, insurance providers are very different when it comes to structuring a policy that actually covers you.
There's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all insurance policy when it comes to your business.
We're your neighbors. We protect businesses and people we know and care about, and that means we look for ways to protect you better, including choosing the insurance companies we represent to be both affordable and responsive.

I was flattered when Jennifer of Ellison Lane Quilts kindly
asked me to be a part of 12 gifts of Christmas Blog Hop!
with a tutorial on how to make these
easy-peasy organizer baskets!
questions about this tute, you know you can contact me anytime!
(one for exterior, one for interior) and one piece of
cotton batting that is just a little larger than 13" x 7".
I marked a line from one corner to the point where it's 6" from the other corner.
Quilt along the line. (My stitch length was set at 3.0)
I sew while guiding the quilter over the previous row of stitching.
(My quilting lines are approximately 3/4" apart from each other.)
this accessory, you can mark parallel lines throughout the interior piece.
Now mark a line perpendicular to the stitching and quilt in the same manner.
Yay quilting is done!
Chop off the excess.
Now fold in half the piece with right sides together lengthwise
and sew both short edges. (1/4" seam allowance)
Time to box corners!
Mark where the seam line is at 1 1/4" from both sides.
(2.5" long from one edge to the other.) Sew along the marked line.
Cut off the corner. Leave a small seam allowance.
Repeat the same process for the other short edge so that
your quilted interior looks like this.
Do the same with the exterior piece.
With right sides together, place the exterior inside the
interior. Match seams and pin in place.
I like to start sewing just about 3" away from the seam.
Leave about 1 1/2" wide opening. Turn the right side out from the opening.
Press the opening.
Now you've finished making this organizer basket!
(Finished size: 2"H x 9 1/2"W x 2 1/2"D)
These nicely soft baskets serve well as drawer organizers/utensil trays,
but if you want to stabilize the baskets a little,
you can alternate the pattern by using interfacing on
the back of the exterior and/or using stiffer batting and/or...
Top-stitching four corners.
Your basket will be more squarish like this.
(these were made in the same way except for top-
stitched corners.)
This basket is a perfect size to put together 16 spools of Gutermann 250m
threads for a gift. (Oh I just had a vision of this basket filled with spools
and one big handle in the middle! That would make a cute gift, wouldn't it?)
Or maybe pen holders? Whatever you or the recipients
of your baskets can think of :) Lots of possibilities!
I would love to see your baskets in this flickr pool and
here for anything you made using tutorials in this blog hop!

Here's an easy list of the sections in our site for your reference.
Client History: Mondo Publishing - www.MondoPub.com
Mondo came to Cuesta back in 2001 with high anxiety about selecting a new Web developer. They had history with a previous developer who simply could not keep up with their needs and eventually left Web development for another career, which left them hanging in the lurch. Their first concern was to find a developer who was respected in the publishing industry, one who could keep up with emerging trends and most importantly, one who would be around for many years to come. By then, Cuesta had been in business for nearly 10 years, and we had worked with some of the biggest names in the industry. The launch of Mondo's first Cuesta-built site was a great success and stood the test of time. When they came to us nearly 10 years later with a concept for a new design and a desire to add features and functionality for products that didn't exist back in the day, we were able to change the look, feel and functionality without having to redevelop the site. More... Testimonial It was extremely important for us to seek out Cuesta Technologies, the time-honored experts in e-commerce and Web site development for our market."

Improve Your Landscape Design in Lafayette
Why wait for your perfect landscape in Lafayette when you can have a space designed for you today? At Clark's Cutting Edge Inc., we have years of experience in commercial and residential designs and we're always happy to help a client.
Landscape Makeover vs. Design: Which Is Best for You?
What's a landscape makeover? Essentially, you're giving your landscaping job a facelift. A regular makeover shouldn't be too invasive and might be able to use elements from your existing design. If you think a makeover is right for your outdoor space? Look over these questions:
- • Have you had landscaping work done before?
- • Are you interested in keeping some elements of your current design?
- • Are you looking for an upgrade instead of a complete overhaul?
Now, if you think a full landscape design is for you, consider the following:
- • Are you looking for a brand new design that suits your tastes?
- • Do you want to get rid of all or most of your existing design?
- • Does a complete overhaul sound like what you're looking for?
After answering these six questions, you'll probably have a good idea of what you're looking for. If you don't, Clark's Cutting Edge Inc. is happy to help you.
What Type of Landscape Design Do You Need?
When we say "type of design," we're really asking you what kind of outdoor space you have. Which category does your space fall into?
- • Private or Personal Property: Residential landscaping is for private residences that aren't intended for business use. The build codes and design limitations are unique for these spaces.
- • Commercial Property: With commercial or business areas, you may have to abide by certain requirements regarding accessibility and construction limitations. Additionally, the design must generally include a more expansive area.
Depending on your type of property, our professional team will draw up plans that will fit both your vision and your space.
Our Landscaping Design Checklist for Lafayette
We have four main pillars for our landscaping design and they are:
- • Design Functionality: If you intend to drive vehicles through your outdoor space, we have to make sure there's enough space. We also have to consider water drainage, erosion and similar areas. This will make sure you can use your space as you intended.
- • Sustainable Practices: Landscaping and sustainability go hand in hand. We can't expect a palm tree to survive in Wisconsin and we also don't want to use materials that cause pollution. We'll tackle sustainability on both fronts.
- • Design Element Integration: Design elements should bring the best out of the space an each other. We'll make sure your design feels cohesive to make your landscape more inviting and peaceful.
- • Artistry: Beauty is an essential part of any kind of design. We strive to make an area that is as gorgeous as it is functional.
Get in Touch for Your Landscaping Consultation
Are you ready to get started on your landscaping project? Give us a call today and we'll gladly discuss what's possible for your space. Once we understand what you want, we'll get to work putting together the outdoor design you'll enjoy for years.

Memorial Services
Memorial Services ((Greek)
- Μνημόσυνα (mnemosyna, memorial) or Παραστάς (wake); (Old Church Slavonic)
- Паннихида (Latinized as Pannikhída, Pannichida, or Panikhída; from the Greek for "all the dead") are special prayer services offered for the benefit of the departed.
Services of the Orthodox Church |
Eucharist: Divine Liturgy | When the Eucharist cannot be served: Typika |
Daily Cycle (Divine Office) |
Vespers | Compline | Midnight Office | Matins |
Little Hours (Prime,Terce,Sext,None) | Royal Hours | Mesorion |
Other Services |
Akathist Hymn | Paraklesis | Moleben |
Great Blessing of Water | Artoklasia |
Baptism-Chrismation Service | Holy Unction |
Ordination Service | Marriage Service |
Funeral Service | Memorial Service |
Prayers and Almsgiving
Early Christians expressed their concern for the repose of the souls of their beloved by works of charity and love and by personal and communal prayers.[note 1]
The Apostolic Constitutions recommended that part of the possessions of a dead person be distributed to the poor in his "memory".
St. John Chrysostom, Jerome, Tertullian, and others also recommended alms giving in memory of the dead although they believe that this and other good works for the repose of the soul of the dead also benefit the doers.
Memorial Services with Kollyva Offerings
In the Orthodox Church the various prayers for the departed have as their purpose to pray for the repose of the departed, to comfort the living, and to remind those who remain behind of their own mortality, and the brevity of this earthly life. For this reason, memorial services have an air of penitence about them[note 2] and tend to be served more frequently during the four fasting seasons (Great Lent, Nativity Fast, Apostles' Fast and Dormition Fast).
According to the Apostolic Constitutions, memorial services may be held on the 3rd, 9th, and 40th day, and on the completion of a year from the day of death.[note 3] These prescribed times are still observed in most Orthodox places.
The memorial service is most frequently served after the Divine Liturgy, however it may also be served after Vespers, Matins, or as a separate service by itself. For the memorial service, Kollyva, a ritual food of boiled wheat, is often prepared and is placed in front of the "memorial table" or an icon of Christ and is blessed by the priest afterwards.[note 4]
The service is composed of Psalms, Ektenias (litanies), hymns and prayers. In its outline it follows the general outline of Matins,[note 5] and is in effect a truncated funeral service. Some of the most notable portions of the service are the Kontakion of the Departed,[note 6] and the final, slow and solemn singing of "Memory Eternal."[note 7]
The deacon (or, if there is no deacon the priest) will swing the censer throughout almost the entire service, and all will stand holding lighted candles. Near the end of the service, during the final Troparia, all will either put out their candles or will place them in candle holders on the memorial table. Each candle symbolizes the individual soul, which, as it were, each person holds in their own hand. The extinguishing (or giving up) of the candle at the end of the service symbolizes the fact that each person will have to surrender their soul at the end of their life.
Considering the fact that in the Orthodox Churches of the diaspora a memorial service with the participation of the congregation must be held on a Sunday, the 40th day memorial service is the one universally observed although by necessity, it may not be held exactly on the 40th day. Needless to say, the Orthodox people may give the names of their departed to be mentioned by the priest in the Eucharist at any time.
At Gravesites and Commemorative meals
Another kind of memorial was the gathering on the graves of the dead or in the church (funerals), and the serving of meals afterwards known as "makariai" (meals in memory of) that are still held by many in the church hall following burial.
In addition, it is also customary for the priest to pour wine, oil, and some of the Kollyva on the grave site, following memorial services in church.
At the Eucharist
Praying for the dead could include celebrating the Eucharist or could be a special service, as it is now, in which the names of the dead were mentioned, or it could be both.
St. Cyril of Jerusalem mentions the prayers offered for the benefit of all who have died in the faith of Christ, stating that their souls greatly benefit by the prayers of the Church and by offering the Bloodless Sacrifice for the repose of their souls.
St. John Chrysostom believes that "to mention the names of the departed in the awesome mystery of the Eucharist results in much benefit for the souls of the beloved."
Above all, praying for the dead is a deeply rooted practice in the Church on the belief that the Church of Christ is constituted not only of her living members but also of her departed ones. The Bloodless Sacrifice of the Orthodox Eucharist, as articulated in all the Liturgies in use, is offered for the benefit of both dead and living faithful.
A Biblical basis for praying for the dead may be found in the Epistle of St. James, 5:16, by which the "prayer of a righteous man has great power in its effects."[1]

- ↑ The non-canonical Acts of Paul and Thecla (New Testament Apocrypha) speak of the efficacy of prayer for the dead, so that they might be "translated to a state of happiness." (Acts of Paul and Thecla, 8:5)
- ↑ For instance, the Memorial Service does not have the chanting of "God is the Lord..." as the Molieben does; but instead, the "Alleluia" is chanted, reminiscent of the "Alleluia" that is chanted at Lenten services.
- ↑ They are also commonly held on the third year anniversary. Some faithful will request a memorial every year on the anniversary of death.
- ↑ The memorial table is a small, free-standing table to which has been attached an upright crucifix, sometimes including also icons of the Theotokos (the Virgin Mary) and the Apostle John. The table will also have a place for the faithful to put lighted candles.
- ↑ From this comes the Greek name parastas which refers to standing all night in vigil, which in the early days was what literally took place.
- ↑ Kontakion of the Departed: "With the saints give rest, O Christ, to the soul(s) of Thy servant(s), where there is neither sickness, nor sorrow, nor sighing, but life everlasting."
- ↑ Deacon: In blessed repose, O Lord, grant eternal rest unto Thy departed servant (Name) and make his/her memory to be eternal!
Choir: Memory eternal! Memory eternal! Memory eternal!

My love of tea started in 2001, whilst in an internship in London, England. I shared an office with a lovely man who would make me a cup of tea every morning without asking me if I even wanted it. I drink my tea neat now, because I've yet to find the sugar/milk combination that lives up to Pablo's.
I drink any and all kinds of tea, and love trying new brands/varieties/flavors.

By clicking on any of the questions below, you may view the answer.
Generally, real property never depreciates in value, or more so, it is not very common for property to depreciate. This is why it's a great investment. Make sure you carefully consider location and community when choosing a home, it can effect the homes future value greatly.
If you are in a newly developed area, do some research on the construction of the surrounding areas being developed to determine if they may effect your homes value.
This is really just a matter of preference, but both newer and older homes offer distinct advantages, depending upon your unique taste and lifestyle.
Older homes can generally cost less than new homes, however, there are many cases where new homes can also cost less then older homes. Most new homes will not have any backyard landscaping and some don''t include any front landscaping either. With an older home, the landscaping is normally already completed and could have 10''s of thousands of dollars in landscaping done, which is included in the purchase price.
Taxes on some older homes may also be lower. Some people are charmed by the elegance of an older home but shy away because they''re concerned about potential maintenance costs. Consider a home warranty to get the peace of mind you deserve. A good Home Warranty plan protects you against unexpected repairs on many home systems and appliances for a full year or more after you move in.
In a new house, you can pick your own color schemes, flooring, kitchen cabinets, appliances, custom wiring for TV''s, electrical, computers, phones and speakers, etc., as well as have more upgrade options. Modern features like media rooms, extra-large closets and extra-large bathrooms and tubs are also more attainable in ground-up construction. In a used home, you rely largely on the previous resident''s tastes and technological whims, unless you plan to farm thousands into a remodeling and rewiring.
New-home designers can use new building materials such as glazed Energy Star windows, thicker insulation and other technology that will lower future energy costs for the owner. Most states now have minimum energy-efficiency requirements for new construction. Kitchens and laundry areas in new homes are designed to house more efficient energy-saving appliances. Older homes, unless they have undergone an energy retrofit, usually cost much more per square foot to air-condition and heat.
Builders have to follow very strict guidelines in new-homes and additions, especially in the West and Northwest, where earthquake safety standards must be observed. In general, new homes are usually more fire-safe and better accommodating of new security and garage-door systems.
Older homes can be better judged for their quality and timeless beauty. New homes that now possess a smooth veneer might reveal the use of substandard building materials or shoddy workmanship over time.
As you can see there are advantages and dis-advantages to each, but it really comes down to what fits you and what you are looking for in a home.
Listing Agents usually deal with sellers, and are the ones who will list a property for sale on the Multiple Listing Service.
Selling Agents (also Buyers Agents) mostly deal with the homebuyers, usually only listing just a few homes for sale. They will sell the homes (which have been placed in the MLS) via the listing agents.
The majority of agents will focus on one or the other. Some agents will also divide their time between sellers and buyers and are usually regarded as the best ones since they are dealing with both sides of the coin.
If you phone an agent from a magazine or newspaper ad, you are usually contacting the listing agent. These agents will place ads to show the seller that they are making an effort to sell their home. Also their advertising efforts can draw others who may decide to sell their homes.
A real estate agent is more than just a sales person. A real estate agent may act on your behalf, providing you with advice and guidance when buying or selling a home. Due to the constant changing of the market, the information available on listings is not always 100% accurate. There are times when you need the most current information about what has sold or is for sale, and the only way to get that is with a real estate agent.
If you are in the market to buy, it would be advisable to use a Buyer's Agent. They can make recommendations on what terms and prices to offer as well as negotiating a deal with your best interest in mind.
The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) sets standards for the calculation of the amount mortgage lenders require borrowers to deposit into the escrow account. RESPA limits the initial deposit into an escrow account to an amount equal to the sum sufficient to pay taxes, insurance premiums, and other charges on the mortgaged property for the first payment period, plus a cushion.
An escrow cushion is an amount of money held in the escrow account to prevent the account from being overdrawn when increases in disbursements occur.
On a monthly basis, mortgage lenders may not require borrowers to pay more than one-twelfth of the total amount of the estimated annual taxes, insurance premiums, and other charges, plus an amount necessary to maintain the allowable cushion.
The easiest way to avoid PMI is by putting 20% down payment; however, PMI can also be avoided if you only have 5% or 10% for the down payment. The way to accomplish this is via a first and second mortgage combination commonly referred to as 80/10/10^s or 80/15/5^s.
These two methods combine a first mortgage lien for 80% of the home price with a second mortgage lien for either 10% or 15% of the home price leaving the remaining 5% or 10% as the down payment. Because the first lien is at the magical 80% loan=to-value, there is no PMI required, even though a second mortgage is being |piggybacked| onto the financing thus allowing for the lessor down payment.
While the second lien terms are not as attractive as first lien rates, the second mortgage is still home mortgage interest and thus deductible as such on your federal tax return where PMI is insurance and offers no deduction.
This question is best answered after careful consideration of your own personal financial goals. Buying down the interest rate (paying points on the mortgage - one point is one percent of your mortgage amount) may not be in your best interest. Here are some reasons why:Mortgage interest paid is tax deductible in most cases (seek the advice of an accountant or the IRS).The funds are no longer available to invest, save or use (ie. purchase an IRA, pay off credit card debt at a higher rate, etc.)Falling interest rates can be taken advantage of sooner if discount points are not paid to buy down the interest rate (the original interest rate was higher).In the past, if a consumer bought down the interest rate and then refinanced (buying down the rate again), it is possible not enough time will have elapsed to recover the |buy down| amount through the reduced monthly payment. This also occurs if the consumer sells the home before recovering the |buy down| amount.Not only does the amount paid in discount fees (buy down amount) need to be recovered, the |time value| of the money spent or its |present value| also needs to be recovered. Present value is the income you could have earned or the satisfaction you could have received through alternative use of your money. Remembe to consider the tax consequences of your ultimate decision.Individuals should do what best fits their own personal situation and goals.
Many tax authorities will mail an informational copy of the real estate tax statement to the homeowner in addition to the Credit Union. However, there are some statements tax authorities do not forward to the credit union, and in special cases we will need your assistance in obtaining the bill. If you receive a statement for any of the following, please forward it to our office by mail or fax.
No. If you prefer a lower-priced offer, perhaps with a better-qualified buyer and/or more attractive terms, you can accept that offer instead. Or you can give counteroffers to one or more of the buyers.
Beware, however, that if you turn down a full-priced offer, you may owe your agent a full commission even if you decide not to sell your home.
You must take into account the prevailing state of the real estate market and especially local market conditions. The real estate market continually changes, and market fluctuations affect property values. So it is critical to determine your listing price based on the most recent comparable sales in your neighborhood.
It would be a good idea to get a Home Value Request, or CMA, also known as Comparable Market Analysis.
Along with economic factors such as supply and demand, the time of year you choose to sell can impact both the length of time it takes to sell your home and its ultimate selling price.
Typically, the real estate market picks up around February, continues strong through late May and June, and tapers off during July and August. The summer is usually the busiest time for moving since school is out and buyers may be looking to get their children in school before the new school year. September through November generally marks a rally not as strong as late winter and spring, followed by a slowdown from Thanksgiving through and beyond the Christmas and New Year holiday period.
It is not recommended to sell your home any higher than the appraised value unless demand is high in your area. Ask you real estate agent which price would be right for your home. Also make sure you get a Home Value Request to assist in determining the best sales price for your home.
A report made by a qualified person setting forth an opinion or estimate of value. The term also refers to the process by which this estimate is obtained.
In conventional mortgages and in the HUD-FHA Direct Endorsement Program, the lender receives a copy of the complete report, showing the basis for the appraiser's estimate.
In VA cases and in HUD applications processed by HUD, the lender receives only a statement of the estimate of value, without any detailed supporting data.
An Exclusive Agency listing allows your agent to market your home and enter it into the MLS. The agent will receive a commission if your home sells through any real estate company or by another agent. He will NOT receive a commission if you, the seller, find a buyer on your own. Because a commission is not guaranteed, your agent may not be highly motivated to market your property. Thus, this type of listing is not common and should be avoided.
You don't need to use a commissioned real estate agent to sell your home, but you may want to consider the benefits of having a real estate agent versus not using a real estate agent.
In addition, many people would rather use an Agent due to the complexities of modern Real Estate transactions since they usually incorporate legal and financial attributes, which takes them well beyond more simple transactions, such as the sale of an automobile.
There are several advantages when using a real estate agent to sell your home, such as - your listing will be added to the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) so that large numbers of buyers will have access to the seller's property. In addition, your real estate agent absorbs all of the cost of advertising and marketing, and the screening that will be done of potential buyers by Agents. The Agent will also handle the details of negotiation.
Deciding whether to use an Agent or not depends on if you feel fully confident that you can handle all of the details, then you may well want to attempt selling your house on your own. If not, you most likely will want to use a real estate agent and leave the details to them.

Three tier refinished wood side table
October 04, 2012
Share this
We've reworked our family room so that the layout is SO MUCH better than it used to be. But it was lacking something…and that something was a side table.
I have discovered over time that I NEED a place to put my drinks, my snacks, my magazines. My tissues. :) Why yes, I am 95 years old.
We have the little candlestick table next to the chair:
But it is teeny. And I wanted something next to the sofa. We do have a coffee table and a sofa table and now that I'm talking about all these tables it sounds like we would have plenty but (breathe)…no. There's something about a spot right next to where you're sitting, right?
I wasn't sure I could make it work though, so I didn't actively look for anything. And then one day a couple weeks ago, when I was moving some furniture around upstairs, I realized I no longer had a spot for one of my VERY favorite pieces in the house.
Years ago this table sat in the living room, and until recently it was up in the loft:
I found it years ago at Goodwill, and it was an awful, horrible, no good green color. Some of the trim around the top was coming off too. I bought it hoping to restore it, but it was an overwhelming task. Then my Dad offered to refinish it for me and he did a beautiful job!
It is just gorgeous and as I said, one of my favorite pieces in our house. And it just wasn't right that it was upstairs and not being used. So I brought it downstairs and tried it next to the family room sectional.
I thought it may be too big, but it worked perfectly!:
I did it late at night and it's just silly how giddy I was as I shopped the house to find a lamp to put on it. I turned it on and loved how cozy that spot felt! I've always had a Goodwill floor lamp there, but this felt so much warmer to me.
Isn't it funny how moving one little thing around can make a room feel so different? I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I love when that happens! When I walk in there now, my eye goes right to it. It's just perfect.
And of course, an extra little spot to accessorize doesn't hurt. :) I grabbed a vase and cut some of branches off of our ash tree. They are just gorgeous in the fall:
The candle was from Bath and Body Works last year (it's not about to catch the leaves on fire, it just looks like it), and a cute little velvet pumpkin I found at HomeGoods a few weeks ago. (Five bucks! I loved it so much I grabbed two!)
I adore how warm and cozy this space is now. And of course, I found a spot for the tissues. And of course, they had to be cute:
I'm a total and complete sucker this time of year. Any item that comes out with a fall or Halloween theme…I am so. there. Same with Christmas. I'm helpless, I can't fight it.
Instead of trying to accessorize the shelves just so, I decided they would be the perfect spot for some of the Bub's favorite games. He's SO into games all the sudden, just over the past couple of months. I love having them accessible where we spend so much time.
The games stacked up aren't necessarily magazine-worthy, but they are what makes it feel like our home. :)
But really, the Kleenex. Easy access may be the most important thing:
I think the best part may be that all of it was FREE. I used what I had around the house and I love that. It just goes to show it never hurts to try moving things around – I never would have thought the table would work in that spot!
Does one little change make a space feel brand new to you too? Do you move furniture around often? We don't just because of the way our house is set up – the way it is is the way it stays, for the most part. So this was especially fun for me. :)
