What To Know About Emergency Towing in Nephi 84648
Being stuck on the side of the road is never a good time. But it happens, and when it does, you'll need to know about emergency towing services in order to get help as quickly and safely as possible.
When you find yourself stranded on the side of the road, there are several different types of emergency towing services that can help you out. Depending on your needs, you may be able to choose between a flatbed tow truck, a wheel-lift tow truck, or a rope tow truck. A flatbed truck is ideal for larger vehicles like pick-up trucks or SUVs that don't have four-wheel drive. It utilizes a platform with rollers and straps attached to the back of the tow truck that allows it to easily transport your vehicle without damaging it. A wheel-lift tow truck lifts two wheels off the ground while driving your car onto its bed. This type of service is usually used for cars with all-wheel drive or front-wheel drive because it helps avoid damage from occurring when being towed. Lastly, rope tow trucks are used for smaller vehicles like motorcycles or scooters because they utilize a rope system that attaches directly from the back of the tow truck and connects to your vehicle in order for it to be towed safely
Emergency Towing Cost in Nephi 84648
The cost of emergency towing services vary depending on what type of service you need, how far away you are from where help is located and any extra services needed, such as tire changes or fuel delivery. Generally speaking, though, expect costs for emergency towing services to range anywhere from $50-$150 depending on where you live and how far away help is located.
There are times when you can't estimate what type of towing you need. Call our professionals and describe the situation in detail, answer our dispatcher's questions, and maybe instead of service or in addition to it, you will need HEAVY DUTY TOWING, ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE, ACCIDENT REMOVAL, FIFTH WHEEL TOW or FLAT TIRE SERVICE
Finding Help
When an unexpected breakdown happens and you need help quickly, many people turn to online resources in order to find nearby emergency roadside assistance companies that can offer emergency assistance at anytime, day or night - no matter where they are located! You should also look into insurance policies offered by auto insurers who offer free emergency roadside assistance coverage if you purchase their policy - this way, if something does happen while out on the road, at least some coverage will be provided so that getting back home isn't such a financial burden!

"I think people can expect some fireworks… and another installment of The Robot." - Ryan Jimmo
Five years and 16 consecutive wins after losing his MMA debut, Ryan Jimmo finally made his way into the Octagon.
Seven seconds later, the 31-year-old Canadian stood in the center of the cage, smiling as he broke out his patented celebratory dance, a rock-solid "robot" that ended with a full front split.
The journey to UFC 149 in Calgary, Alberta last summer was a circuitous one, as he threw hands across his home and native land in various organizations, ultimately settling in Edmonton for an extended run in the country's premier organization, the Maximum Fighting Championship.
After racking up nine consecutive victories prior to his MFC return, Jimmo rattled off four more wins to arrive at a title shot, and then defeated fan favourite Dwayne Lewis to claim the vacant light heavyweight title. In his next two outings, "The Big Deal" defeated current Ultimate Fighter contestant Zak Cummings and former PRIDE and UFC competitor Sokoudjou by decision to run his winning streak to 16 straight.
Half of those 16 wins – including six out of seven following his return to the MFC – came by way of decision, earning Jimmo an unappealing reputation as a decision fighter; someone more interested in making sure he added another win to his resume than entertaining the fans.
It's that reputation and string of results that made his blistering debut knockout of Anthony Perosh all the more impactful.
"I've nailed guys with a right hand lots of time in a fight, and lots of time in training, so I don't know if my power was ever put into question," offered the engaging Canadian, who celebrated his 17th consecutive victory with a cigar and a couple cold bottles of Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale.
"I had done a lot of decisions, but because I was fighting in a different league, and if you lose in a league outside of UFC, sometimes you don't get a chance at the UFC, so I had to fight more conservatively. It was good to be on a bigger stage where it's worth taking the risk. In the smaller shows, if you take a big risk, if you win, it's like `Good knockout.' You're going to make a highlight reel, and that's about it."
The streaking light heavyweight competitor explained the risk/reward assessment involved with opening up his style by combining two of Las Vegas' staples – fighting and poker.
"It's like poker – you're not going to put $15,000 in the pot if all you're going to win is $100; it's not worth it. They're bad pot odds to take a risk like that, so you play safe and conservative. But if you put $15,000 in and you can win $100,000, it's worth the risk. I didn't get anything before for taking the risk; now I get an appropriate amount back.
"It was good to be on a bigger stage where it's worth taking the risk. If you take a big risk and you get it, you get a big bonus check."
Jimmo did just that with his performance last July against Perosh, netting an additional $65,000 for Knockout of the Night after his near UFC record finish. Next up for the New Brunswick native is a showdown with James Te Huna, a heavy handed New Zealander who also holds a first-round TKO win over Perosh, and has posted a 4-1 record since joining the UFC roster in February 2010.
After a long journey to arrive on the biggest stage of the sport, it would have been understandable had Jimmo taken a little time to bask in his impressive debut win, but instead, the former Canadian National Karate champion opted to get right back into the gym to focus on putting forth an equally spectacular performance in his sophomore showing in the UFC.
"I started training right after my last fight. I took a week where it was a little bit easier, but I was still riding a bike, doing the right things. I've been back here since October, so it's almost been like an extended camp."
"Here" is Delray Beach, Florida, home of the Jaco Hybrid Training Center and "The Blackzilians," the talented fight collective that includes Rashad Evans, Alistair Overeem, and fellow UFC on FUEL 7 competitor Jorge Santiago. Following a long stretch spent training in Edmonton, moving south not only offered a warmer year-round climate, but a serious upgrade in training partners and coaching.
"I've always had good instructors, but what are down here are superior training partners," explained Jimmo, who stands as the lone Canadian on the team known by the portmanteau originated by Evans to describe its initial composition.
"The coaches are awesome down here as well, but I get world-class training partners down here. Before, my sparring partners were maybe an amateur boxer with two or three fights, and I would have to just work. I would have to do things like just try to hit him with jabs for a whole round or just evade and use head movement for a round; I'd have to pick out little spots and just try to work on them. Now I have guys with complete games who are better than me who can help bring me up to the next level."
While many have talked about how this weekend's fight card has been overshadowed by the stacked pay-per-views that bookend it on the UFC fight calendar for February, Jimmo has paid no mind to what else is happening in the organization.
Though he has an idea of the course he'd like to take to reach the top of the loaded light heavyweight division, his focus has been trained on Te Huna for some time, and won't waver until after his hand is raised in the Octagon Saturday night inside Wembley Arena in London.
"I have a fight in 10 days. I don't know what you're talking about otherwise. Does that answer your question?" responded Jimmo when asked about his fight and this card being stuck between a pair of powerhouse pay-per-view events. "I have a fight in 10 days, and I don't know about any other cards that are happening, and I'm focused on that. I don't even know that the other things are happening. I didn't know it was Christmas, so when you say, `Does this overshadow you?' I don't feel it overshadows anything because I don't even know it's happening.
"I just simply want to perform excellently, to the top of my ability. Afterwards we can worry about being a superstar and getting noticed. Superstars get noticed because they perform with excellence inside of the cage. I don't know about the other stuff because I don't think about it."
"I have a bit of a road map," added Jimmo, "but you can't plan how you're going to step off the curb a block and a half from where you're at, you know? You put one foot in front of another, and make sure to show up for this fight. After that I can reassess my options. I have to make sure I nail this fight pinpoint on and perform very excellently, and then we go from there."
As for predictions, the surging light heavyweight opted to keep things real simple: "I think people can expect some fireworks… and another installment of The Robot."

1A wise magistrate gives stability to his people,
and government by the intelligent is well ordered.a
2As the people's judge, so the officials;b
as the head of a city, so the inhabitants.
3A reckless king destroys his people,
but a city grows through the intelligence of its princes.c
4Sovereignty over the earth is in the hand of God,
who appoints the right person for the right time.
5Sovereignty over everyone is in the hand of God,
who imparts his majesty to the ruler.
The Sin of Pride
6No matter what the wrong, never harm your neighbor
or go the way of arrogance.d
7Odious to the Lord and to mortals is pride,
and for both oppression is a crime.
8Sovereignty is transferred from one people to another
because of the lawlessness of the proud.
9Why are dust and ashes proud?*
Even during life the body decays.
10A slight illness—the doctor jests;
a king today—tomorrow he is dead.
11When a people die,
they inherit corruption and worms, gnats and maggots.e
12The beginning of pride is stubbornness
in withdrawing the heart from one's Maker.
13For sin is a reservoir of insolence,
a source which runs over with vice;
Because of it God sends unheard-of afflictions
and strikes people with utter ruin.f
14God overturns the thrones of the proud
and enthrones the lowly in their place.
15God plucks up the roots of the proud,
and plants the lowly in their place.
16The Lord lays waste the lands of the nations,
and destroys them to the very foundations of the earth.
17He removes them from the earth, destroying them,
erasing their memory from the world.
18Insolence does not befit mortals,
nor impudent anger those born of women.
True Glory*
19Whose offspring can be honorable? Human offspring.
Those who fear the LORD are honorable offspring.
Whose offspring can be disgraceful? Human offspring.
Those who transgress the commandment are disgraceful offspring.
20Among relatives their leader is honored;
but whoever fears God is honored among God's people.†
22Resident alien, stranger, foreigner, pauper—
their glory is the fear of the LORD.
23It is not right to despise anyone wise but poor,
nor proper to honor the lawless.g
24The prince, the ruler, the judge are in honor;
but none is greater than the one who fears God.
25When the free serve a wise slave,
the wise will not complain.h
26Do not flaunt your wisdom in managing your affairs,
or boast in your time of need.
27Better the worker who has goods in plenty
than the boaster who has no food.i
28My son, with humility have self-esteem;
and give yourself the esteem you deserve.
29Who will acquit those who condemn themselves?
Who will honor those who disgrace themselves?
30The poor are honored for their wisdom;
the rich are honored for their wealth.
31Honored in poverty, how much more so in wealth!
Disgraced in wealth, in poverty how much the more!
* [10:9–10] The general implication is that a slight illness today may be followed by death tomorrow. The uncertainty of life leaves no room for pride.
* [10:19–11:6] Genuine honor comes not from one's place in society but from fear of the Lord and a true estimate of oneself. The Lord exalts the lowly and oppressed; transgressors of the commandment merit dishonor and disgrace.
† [10:20] Other ancient texts read as v. 21:
The beginning of acceptance is the fear of the Lord;
the beginning of rejection, effrontery and pride.
b. [10:2–3] Ez 16:44; Prv 29:12.

Owning Is More Affordable than Renting in the Majority of the Country
If you were thinking about buying a home this year, but already pressed pause on your plans due to rising home prices and increasing mortgage rates, there's something you should consider. According to the latest report from ATTOM Data, owning a home is more affordable than renting in the majority of the country. The 2022 Rental Affordability Report says:
". . . Owning a median-priced home is more affordable than the average rent on a three-bedroom property in 666, or 58 percent, of the 1,154 U.S. counties analyzed for the report. That means major home ownership expenses consume a smaller portion of average local wages than renting."
Other experts in the industry offer additional perspectives on renting today. In the latest Single-Family Rent Index from CoreLogic, single-family rent saw the fastest year-over-year growth in over 16 years when comparing data for November each year (see graph below):
Molly Boesel, Principal Economist at CoreLogic, stresses the importance of what the data shows:
"Single-family rent growth hit its sixth consecutive record high. . . . Annual rent growth . . . was more than three times that of a year earlier. Rent growth should continue to be robust in the near term, especially as the labor market continues to improve."
What Does This Mean for You?
While it's true home prices and mortgage rates are rising, so are monthly rents. As a prospective buyer, rising rates and prices shouldn't be enough to keep you on the sideline, though. As the chart above shows, rents are skyrocketing. The big difference is, when you rent, that rising cost benefits your landlord's investment strategy, but it doesn't deliver any sort of return for you.
In contrast, when you buy a home, your monthly mortgage payment serves as a form of forced savings. Over time, as you pay down your loan and as home values rise, you're building equity (and by extension, your own net worth). Not to mention, you'll lock in your mortgage payment for the duration of your loan (typically 15 to 30 years) and give yourself a stable and reliable monthly payment.
When asking yourself if you should keep renting or if it's time to buy, think about what Todd Teta, Chief Product Officer at ATTOM Data, says:
". . . Home ownership still remains the more affordable option for average workers in a majority of the country because it still takes up a smaller portion of their pay."
If buying takes up a smaller portion of your pay and has benefits renting can't provide, the question really becomes: is renting really worth it?
Bottom Line
If you're weighing your options between renting and buying, it's important to look at the full picture. While buying a home can feel like a daunting process, having a trusted advisor on your side is key. Work with an agent to explore your options so you can learn more about the benefits of homeownership today.

open 24 hours – 7 days a week
Many people downplay dental emergencies. Some of those same people would call their doctors for a check-up right away were they to experience pain in any other part of their bodies. Yet they might not seek emergency dental services for a toothache, for severe and unexplained bleeding of the gums, or for a piece of dental work poking the inside of their cheek. Maybe it's easy to convince yourself that such issues are minimal, and that inflamed gums or toothaches will just vanish on their own.
The truth is, however, that you should know where to go for Cleveland emergency dental care. And if you ever face mouth-related pain or discomfort, you should seek out that urgent dental care right away. You never know when such problems are symptoms of serious issues — an infection of the mouth, for example, one that could quickly spread out of control. And sometimes people need to rush to a dentist for oral surgery, like an emergency root canal. Not to mention, there are many instances in which a dental problem could be easily solved if it were treated right away, yet if that treatment were postponed, the damage could become permanent. The most obvious example is a lost tooth. Teeth that fall out can be reinserted by a professional, good as new, within an hour. After that hour passes, though, it's unlikely that any dentist could reattach that tooth. Why go through life missing one or more teeth, or having a broken tooth or chip tooth forever, when you don't have to?
What all these points indicate is that getting to an emergency dentist in Cleveland, TN, is of the utmost importance. Whether you head to a general dentistry office, a walk-in dentist office, an emergency dental clinic, or an emergency room dentist in Cleveland, the most important thing is that you can receive prompt and expert care. That is, you want the kind of care to which Dentist.24hourly.com can direct you.

You might ask for an expert in sedation dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, or pediatric dentistry. And, of course, you could request a 24 hour emergency dentist in Cleveland.

NOTE: TOURNAMENT DETAILS HAVE BEEN FINALIZED, AND THE INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE IS NOW CONSIDERED TO BE FINAL (subject to potential changes as identified below).
Live Event Coverage will be available throughout the event.
The 2016 North American SCRABBLE Championship will take place on August 6-10, 2016 at the Grand Wayne Convention Center, 120 W. Jefferson Boulevard, Fort Wayne, Indiana 46802, with the Courtyard Fort Wayne at the Grand Wayne Center and Hilton Fort Wayne at the Grand Wayne Center serving as host hotels. This webpage will be updated regularly as additional details became available.
Live Event Coverage will be available throughout the event.
Online registration for the 2016 North American SCRABBLE Championship is now open.
Click Here to Register Online.
A link to a list of registered players is updated automatically with each new registration.
The rest of this section describes in detail the various terms and conditions of registration, most of which are also discussed on the registration form.
Registration will close at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on July 27, 2016, after which players will only be accepted if they do not make a division odd.
To play in the NASC, you must (1) be a NASPA member, and (2) have played in an officially sanctioned SCRABBLE tournament to earn an official tournament rating. If you live in the United States or Canada, that rating should be a NASPA rating; if you live elsewhere it may be a WESPA rating or other comparable national rating.
If you meet the eligibility criteria and wish to play using the Official Club and Tournament Word List 2014 (TWL), you may do so. Four TWL divisions will be offered, divided by Qualification Rating (QR), with unlimited play-up available. If your QR is 1800 or higher, or if you do not have a NASPA rating, you must play in Division 1. If your QR is in the range 1400–1799, you must play in Division 1 or 2. If your QR is in the range 1100–1399, you must play in Division 1, 2 or 3. If your QR is below 1100, you may play in any of the four divisions.
Your QR which consists of the highest tournament rating attained at the end of any NASPA TWL-rated tournament (or segment of a split-rated tournament) which finished during the period from August 1, 2015 to July 27, 2016 (the start of last year's Championship to the close of registration). If you have a rating, but do not play during this period, your QR is your unchanged current rating.
Player division assignments will be reviewed after July 27, 2016 to ensure that everyone is registered in the correct division. If the division in which you registered is not one in which your QR permits you to play, we will automatically move you up to the lowest permissible division.
If you meet the eligibility criteria and prefer to play using the international Collins (CSW) lexicon, you may do so. If your Collins Qualification Rating (CQR) is 1500 or higher, or if you do not have a NASPA rating, you must play in Division 1. If it is 1499 or below, you may play in Division 1 or 2. If there are fewer than 20 players registered in either division as of July 20, 2016, the divisions will be automatically combined into a single division.
Your CQR is the highest Collins tournament rating attained at the end of a NASPA CSW-rated tournament which finished during the period from August 1, 2015 to July 27, 2016 (the start of last year's Championship to the close of registration). If you had a NASPA CSW rating prior to this period, but did not play during the period, your qualifying rating is that unchanged rating. If you do not have a NASPA CSW rating, but have a NASPA TWL rating, your CQR is your TWL QR. The Collins division will be run using NASPA rules, except that the Collins lexicon will be used and the challenge penalty will be 5 points per word. The Collins division will be NASPA and WESPA rated.
If there will be two divisions, player division assignments will be reviewed after July 27, 2016 to ensure that everyone is registered in the correct division. If the division in which you registered is not one in which your CQR permits you to play, we will automatically move you up to the lowest permissible division.
If you are thinking about travelling from overseas to play in this event for the first time, please read our 2016 NASC for Overseas Visitors page.
Again this year, there will again be one or two separate divisions of players using the Collins lexicon at the North American Scrabble Championship.
If you do not have a tournament rating (NASPA, WESPA, or other equivalent rating deemed acceptable by the Championship Committee), you must first obtain one at a regular tournament before competing in the Championship.
The Collins division will be run using NASPA rules, except that the Collins lexicon will be used and the challenge penalty will be 5 points per word. The Collins division will be NASPA and WESPA rated. Please see full information about the division in the section above.
The base entry fee for all divisions is $160.
Youths, defined as those whose 18th birthday is after August 6, 2016, may pay $50 to play in any division.
The above fees will be increased by $50 after May 31, 2016. For example, a non-youth player signing up on June 1, 2016 would pay $210, while a youth would pay $100.
Players accepted after the close of registration on July 27, 2016 must pay a $75 late penalty. For example, a non-youth player signing up on July 28, 2016 would pay $285, while a youth would pay $175. Acceptance of registrants after July 27, 2016 is not guaranteed, and will generally only be permitted if it does not cause a division to be uneven.
Players not staying at one of the host hotels for the duration of the event must also pay a commuter/facility fee of $20 per day ($100 maximum). This fee is expected to be waived (and refunded to those who have paid it), as described below in the Hotel/Travel Information section. The commuter fee does not apply to those local to the Fort Wayne area. Verification of status as a hotel guest will be performed at registration/check-in and throughout the event. Players staying at the host hotel for only part of the event must pay the full commuter fee, and may then apply for a refund of $20 per day stayed at the host hotel (to a maximum of $100) after the conclusion of the event, by providing the Championship Committee with hotel confirmation number and dates of stay.
Fees payable are computed based on when (Eastern Time) funds are received in full. If you are not paying right away online at the moment when you register, please be sure to allow enough time for your mailed payment to reach us.
To change divisions after you have registered, please email the organizing committee at firstname.lastname@example.com. Division changes are subject to the following conditions:
If you paid your tournament fees by credit card, any credit owing to you will be issued to your card; otherwise, we will mail a check to your membership address as shown in your member profile.
No refunds will be issued after the refund deadlines described below.
All refunds are subject to a cancellation fee of $15.
If you decide you need to cancel your registration, we will refund your entry fee (and commuter fee, if applicable), if you so request by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on July 27, 2016.
By registering for the NASC, you agree to abide by the NASPA Tournament Rules and Code of Conduct, and agree to comply with the 2016 North American SCRABBLE Championship Terms and Conditions. In particular, some games at this tournament, probably the highest Division 1 TWL and Collins board without a Gibsonized player, will be annotated live, and may be live streamed. If you refuse to play a designated game with annotation, you will forfeit it, and may at the director's discretion be assigned a spread penalty of −200 points.
A Minor Release and Consent Form will be required for all players under age 18 as of August 6, 2016, and may be downloaded and submitted in advance, or executed by a parent or guardian at registration.
Please read our Player Bulletin, and check it again for last-minute updates before you travel to the event.
Participants in the 2016 North American Scrabble Championship are responsible for bringing all equipment necessary to play in the tournament. If neither player in a game has equipment available for their game, a double forfeit may be imposed.
The Championship Committee reserves the right to modify the above to account for unforeseen special circumstances.
The Format for the 2016 NASC will be 31 rounds of Championship Pairings, without any playoff rounds.
The NASC will be paired using tsh along the lines of 2014 and prior events, including Gibsonization on spread. After an initial phase of fixed pairings based on pre-event ratings, the top contenders are paired with each other, and everyone else is paired Swiss. These two groups, contenders and noncontenders, are paired with minimal repeats. For example, if there is no way to pair the contenders without at least one repeat, then they will be paired with one repeat.
The maximum number of contenders is typically 12 in Rounds 1-28, 8 in Round 29, 4 in Round 30 and 2 in Round 31. The contenders are further divided into a subgroup of leaders and non-leaders, if this can be done without increasing the number of required repeats while maintaining at least four players among the leaders. Leaders are paired by repeatedly having the top unpaired player play the lowest-ranked player that can catch up to them. Non-leaders are paired Swiss.
For further information about this pairing system, please refer to the section on Chew pairings in the tsh documentation.

Bob and Andi Schoenman, creators of Protiles, honor Rose Kreiswirth's memory. Rose was an expert Scrabble® player for over 30 years and cherished the game for its educational values. An accomplished player, Rose was as well known for her sense of fairness and her congeniality as she was for her competitiveness. The Rose Award will be awarded each year at the North American SCRABBLE Championship to a female player who, in the opinion of the judges, best exemplifies the fierce competitiveness and compassion that we remember Rose for. Thank you, Bob and Andi Schoenman!

Happens to me every day, metaphorically speaking.
Sadly, the simple fact is it's just easier to take life sitting down. You know, let her "peg" you, if you will. (A commenter on yesterday's post recommended looking up the word "pegging," and you know what? I totally did. Just keep in mind the aforementioned link, while academic in nature, is not safe for work, unless of course you work at Peg's Pegging Pagoda.) And what better way to get "pegged" than for your bicycle saddle to fall off while riding? Well, that's what happened to one Scattante owner (well, his saddle fell off, anyway), and he's going to tell you all about it at great length:
Say what you will, but I'd take this guy's bike tech advice over James Huang's any day of the week, including "Sunderday," which is a day of the week I just made up. Plus, the guy's improvisational skills are sharp as a shard of broken Scattante crabon, and the way he rolls with it when that seat rail clamp falls off is the hallmark of a true showman.
Speaking of getting the sharp end of the seatpost, do you live in Boston? Do you ride a bike in winter? If so, it may surprise you to learn that you're living in the wrong city:
Frankly, I am tired of our dedicated team wasting valuable time addressing the less than .05% of all cyclists who choose to bike after a snow/ice event… We should not spend time debating cyclists with poor judgement [sic] and unrealistic expectations, and stick with [the staffer]'s recommendation that they find other transportation. If someone is completely depending on a bike for year-round transportation, they are living in the wrong city.
So what's the right city? Portland? No. Throw a little snow their way and we all know what happens:
When reached for comments, the organizers explained, "Uh, we meant like 'Worst Day of the Year' like in quotes, not like actually 'The Worst Day of the Year' like not in quotes."
How about New York City then? Well, not if you like your greenways cleared:
Though in fairness, in trying to ride on a bike path in winter, I did display both "poor judgment" and "unrealistic expectations."
No, the "right" city for cycling in winter is probably Copenhagen, since clearly they know how to do it:
Though it's probably not the right city for cycling in winter if you're a vegan, in which case that outfit is probably sending you into paroxysms of weeping and smugness:
He was excluded from the 2001 Peace Race after failing a hematocrit test prior to the event.
In June 2008, he tested positive for the banned stimulant methamphetamine and its metabolites during his national time trial championships, and received a suspension which ended his career.
Nicely done.
Anyway, I can't believe Jens "Catchphrase" Voigt isn't making a crack at it.
Voigt has to tell his legs to shut up, otherwise they'd tell tales of drug consumption that would make Keith Richards's autobiography look like a Bon Appétit article about quinoa.
Lastly, here's a Craigslist "Missed Connection" that epitomizes perfectly the roadie belief that somehow the rest of your life will fall into place while you're wasting your time doing intervals:
Running in Central Park at 5:30 am, in the stupid cold. - m4w - 32 (Midtown West)
age : 32 body : athletic height : 5'11" (180cm) status : single
To all the girls that run or ride in Central Park before sunrise, when it's snowing, nasty cold, raining...
There are plenty of excuses to stay inside and sleep in a couple more hours when it's cold, the middle of winter with snow falling. No one will know if you skip your run, not that they would care. But you are out running, because you're just a little bit insane, doing it for whatever good reason. People think you are naturally fit, having no idea that you work like an animal. You're out early because you have to be at work soon, like everyone else, but still make time for what you want to do.
You're my kind of girl.
I'm the guy on my bike, almost every morning, no matter what the weather. I look ridiculous, covered head-to-toe, like a silly ninja or something, riding my intervals. My toes are painfully frozen, but it doesn't matter. Like you, I'm a little nuts, but just embrace it and keep moving.
Off my bike, I have a real job and appreciate good style. I work like hell and love being out on Friday night as much as anyone else.
Up for it?
If you're looking for him, he'll be doing intervals.

What is a (CMA) comparative market analysis?
A Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) is an evaluation of similar, recently sold homes (called comparables or comps) that are near a home or homes that you want to buy or sell. Buyers, sellers, or real estate agents perform a CMA report to establish and find a fair price range for the home the report is created for. The price range from the CMA can then be used as a guide to be used for establishing an offer price or a listing price.
Basically, performing a CMA involves finding the homes that are similar to the home under consideration, and creating an in-depth comparison of its size, age, location, and features of the home. It all comes down to one question: compared to other, comparable homes in this area, how much is this home worth? Answering that question involves looking at a fair amount of data on other homes in the current market.
The process for doing a comparative market analysis includes:
Defining criteria for selecting comparables in close range to the home
- Determine a list of quality comparables
- Evaluate the comparables within close range to the home
- Adjust comparable values for differences in size, condition, location, amenities, etc
- Estimate the ideal value of your target home based off the findings

کمیته زوون
Language committee |
For requesting users |
For members |
Information |
Closing projects (voluntarily) |
The Wikimedia Foundation language committee is in charge of developing a clear policy and documentation for new language projects and their proposal, processing those requests, and supporting and coordinating new projects to optimize their success.
Historically, it was founded as a subcommittee of the Special Projects Committee. With that committee now defunct, it reports directly to the Wikimedia Board of Trustees.
The Language Committee mainly acts in the Requests for new languages process by reviewing the requests, giving advice and eventually recommending the creation of new language versions to the Board. Individual Langcom members also take care of the proposals for closing projects. If you have any questions (for example about the possible requesting of a new language version), please direct these to the talk page or directly to any member.
This is a proofread version of the original charter with a later amendment authorizing request approval.
The committee is tasked as follows.
- The development and maintenance of:
- a clear step-by-step policy (based on quantitative indicators) for evaluating the feasibility of new language wikis, with an automated procedure for project development;
- support and policy development for script and localization related problems;
- documentation to support new language communities towards a stable growth rate;
- support and coordination for cross-language projects, helping smaller communities share resources and maximize their results;
- support and coordination to maintain compatibility among the different MediaWiki installations, in order to reduce the amount of development needed to upgrade the program base as far as localization is concerned.
- The processing of requests for new language subdomains of existing Wikimedia projects, providing it gives the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees four days advance notice before approving a request.
The goals of the committee are to:
- minimize the political aspects connected to the release of new projects, moving the focus towards purely quantitative decision criteria;
- minimize the need of localization-related funding and development by providing a common shared policy;
- maximize the reuse of proven marketing techniques among different editions;
- maximize the co-operation level among different language communities by providing common fields of activity;
- achieve the widest possible localization level for MediaWiki at the lowest cost, in order to maintain and improve its leading role as an open-source content management system.
- The whole set of activities of the language committee is public, and any advice from the community is welcome.
- The committee values the fact that projects are a property of the single editors who make it and considers users' necessities as the primary source for policy.
- The committee is especially interested in hearing those who proposed a new wiki in the past and got either refused or approved.
If you want to make a proposal to the committee, for example to approve a certain project, please do so on the talk page.
Anyone can follow the discussions of the language committee by subscribing to the public mailing list langcom at lists.wikimedia.org, on which the internal proceedings are made. Non-members should generally not participate in discussions. When it is necessary however, they can send a mail which a list administrator will need to accept manually.
Prior to April 2013, the discussions happened on a private mailing list. From June 2011 to April 2013, members of the community could ask to become "langcom observers". They then received copies of the e-mails sent to the internal committee mailing list.
The committee resumed the use of a private mailing list for the discussion of confidential or personal matters in 2017.
If you are interested in becoming a member, please send an email to langcomlists.wikimedia.org or contact any member in private.

In a case in which some observers suggest the FBI may have gone too far to snare a politician in a bribery scheme, a jury has convicted an Illinois lawmaker of corruption.
The verdict against State Rep. Derrick Smith relates to the then-freshman representative's acceptance in 2012 of a $7,000 payoff from an FBI informant.
The jury agreed with the prosecution that Smith abused his office for personal gain. The defense had argued that the representative repeatedly refused the bribe before finally relenting and that the undercover sting amounted to entrapment.
"We gave it a good fight," Smith told reporters after the verdict was read. "It's God's will. God knows the truth about it all. The jurors just didn't see what God saw."
The lawmaker was caught on tape in a secret meeting in his car with a man identified only as "Pete" who is said to have been a campaign worker for Smith. The representative is heard counting out, then pocketing an envelope full of cash. In FBI recordings, Smith referred to the cash as "cheddar" and talked about how to get paid without getting caught.
Federal prosecutor Marsha McLellan, in her closing argument on Monday, told jurors that Smith, 50, "took advantage of his office to put cash in his pockets."
As we reported on Monday, the government says he took the bribe from "Pete," a felon turned government-informant, in exchange for writing a letter of recommendation on behalf of a day care center operator in his district who was seeking a state grant.
The undercover recordings showed Smith was initially very reluctant to take cash from the informant, and that he resisted and rebuffed "Pete's" attempts to bribe him several times.
According to The Chicago Tribune: "In his closing arguments to the jury, Smith's attorney, Victor Henderson, said Smith was guilty only of 'bad judgment' in trusting his campaign worker. ... Henderson also hammered repeatedly on the FBI's handling of the investigation, saying agents concocted the day care scenario in order to charge a politician and advance their careers."
FBI agents testified that after he was arrested, Smith admitted to agents that he had accepted $7,000 in exchange for the letter of support and, accompanied by agents, he retrieved $2,500 from beneath a chest at the foot of his bed at his home and returned that money to the agents.
During her closing argument, prosecutor McClellan showed the jury Smith's own words projected onto a large video screen in the darkened courtroom, saying he wanted to be paid in cash so there was "no trace" of the money, and referring to the payoff several times as "cheddar."
"These are not the words of a publicly elected official who is supposed to be doing his job," McClellan said.
That's the evidence the jury believed in returning the guilty verdict.
Under Illinois law, Smith automatically loses his legislative seat. But he was already a lame duck anyway, having lost the Democratic primary in March.

Our History
History of Fred Astaire Dance Studios
Today, one almost can't turn on the TV or radio, or open a newspaper, magazine, or web page without hearing a mention of Mr. Fred Astaire in reference to dancing. He has left a lasting impact on the world and when people think of a dancing legend, Fred Astaire is the first to come to mind. We are proud of our great dance heritage which began in 1947 when the Master of dance himself, Mr. Fred Astaire, co-founded our company.
Mr. Fred Astaire, considered to be the greatest multitalented dancer of all time, wanted to establish a chain of studios under his name to make sure that his techniques would be preserved and passed onto the public. Mr. Astaire was instrumental in the choice of dance curriculum and instructional techniques. With the opening of the first Fred Astaire Studio on Park Avenue in New York City, Fred Astaire brought his immense talent out of the glamour of Hollywood and onto the dance floors of America and the world.
"Some people seem to think that good dancers are born." Astaire once observed. "All the good dancers I've known have been taught or trained. To me, dancing has always been fun. I enjoy every minute of it. I am glad that I can now put my knowledge to use in bringing personal confidence and a feeling of achievement to so many people."
Today, numerous Fred Astaire Franchised Dance Studios located in cities throughout North America and internationally, are required to maintain the highest standards of excellence through our International Dance Council and Fred Astaire Franchised Dance Studios curriculum certification. Although Mr. Astaire is no longer with us in person, our studios have produced a wealth of amateur and professional dancers who are the living embodiment of his style and grace.

"I'm behind in payments…will I be giving my house back to the bank in New Castle?"
Nobody wants to lose their home. But sometimes financial circumstances turn against you and those financial commitments become simply too much to manage.
If your situation progresses too far, you may be forced into the unfortunate situation of having to give your house back to the bank in New Castle DE, leaving you temporarily without a place to stay. In addition, there may be long-term consequences, including a dramatic and long-lasting impact to your credit (and your ability to get a house in the future).
No one wants that. That's not an ideal outcome. Fortunately, there is a strategy you can take today to help you proactively protect yourself and get back on track to financial solvency.
Here's a brief overview of the foreclosure process
The foreclosure process can vary depending on location and the type of mortgage you have.
Usually, if you miss a few mortgage payments, your loan company will start sending you notifications and then warnings. Over time, if you fail to pay back the mortgage payments you missed, the loan company may put your home up for public auction.
How long you can stay in your house after it is sold in auction depends on the state where you live. At some point, however, you will need to find a new place to stay.
Fortunately, you have options!
If you wait until your home is foreclosed, it can have a devastating effect on your credit rating. One option to protect yourself is to work out an arrangement with the loan company called a "deed in lieu of foreclosure".
This is when you hand over ownership of the house to the loan company so that they save the money they would spend on foreclosure proceedings, which can be significant. And you get to avoid having a foreclosure listed on your credit rating.
You can also avoid foreclosure by selling your house before it's lost at the auction. If your loan is paid in full then there will be no more penalties against you and your credit rating. (If your loan isn't paid in full you will need to make up the shortfall).
Here's an example: Let's say you owed $100,000 on your home and you sold your home to us for $90,000. You would give that money to the loan company, along with $10,000 to make up the short-fall, and your loan would be paid off. (If you contact a real estate attorney, you may be able to negotiate a deed in lieu of foreclosure deal in which the loan company agrees not to go after the difference in exchange for the deed to the house.
At Morgan Home Solutions, we're professional real estate investors. Contact us today at (302) 565-1617 to find out what we can offer you for your house — even if it needs repairs.
I want to avoid giving my house back to the bank in New Castle!
Why do people choose to sell their home instead of going through foreclosure? (After all, they still don't live in their home anymore.)
Well, losing a home can be difficult but the impact on your financial situation and your credit is considerably less than if you simply wait out the foreclosure process. In fact, going through foreclosure could impact your credit score by as much as 100 to 150 points. So the short-term challenge of selling your house is still a better choice than the long-term pain of giving your house back to the bank.

6 shots or 5
I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

There are times when the economy is booming and everyone feels confident about their prospects for the future. As a result, people often times spend more money. People tend to go out to dinner more often, tip heavier, invest in wardrobe updates, maybe buy a new car and… more often than not, buy a new home. If the interest rates are friendly, this is especially true.
Then, for many reasons, there are periods of time when companies lay off employees and consumers become much more frugal about when and when they spend their money. They begin saving more money than spending it. When this happens, the economy further deflates. If it slows down enough, we'll have a bona fide recession on our hands. During times of these depressed markets, many families shy away from more expensive items including buying new homes.
Still, some home owners find themselves in a situation where they must sell despite the current economic times.
Families continue to grow beyond the capacity of their homes, employees get relocated, and some may even find themselves unavailable to make their mortgage payment – perhaps because of a lay-off in the family or, they may be experiencing negative equity. In other words, they owe more than their home is worth and selling becomes very difficult without coming to the closing table with enough cash to satisfy the loan. Consult with your lender and a professional Realtor to talk about options and discover what the financial situation really is that's actually in front of you. This is paramount.
(Even as the market continues to rebound in 2015, saving your home or finding a way to sell it without suffering can often be worked out.)
