Road building traditions go back a long way and they are influenced by many factors. But the way Dutch streets and roads are built today is largely the result of deliberate political decisions in the 1970s to turn away from the car centric policies of the prosperous post war era. Changed ideas about mobility, safer and more livable cities and about the environment led to a new type of streets in the Netherlands.
The recent video to introduce the Dutch Cycling Embassy explains this very briefly, but there is a lot more that can be said about it. That is why I made a longer video for a more in depth look into the history of cycling infrastructure in the Netherlands.
Please watch this video before you read on.
"The Netherlands' problems were and are not unique, their solutions shouldn't be that either."
Thus ends my video, but what do I mean by that? I think the Dutch could and should be copied. If you look at the key factors for the change in Dutch thinking, you see these are just as valid today. The world is still too dependent on fossil fuels and many cities in the world have congested streets. Streets and roads which are also very dangerous, especially for vulnerable road users like pedestrians and cyclists. And that is even more so when these road users are elderly or children.
Other elements leading to the change are also not unique. That is not only so for the protest posters.
Cycle protest posters Amsterdam 1980 |
Critical Mass posters 2007-2011 various places |
The mass cycling protests in the 1970s look very similar as well, compared to protests in other countries today. Like the massive number of people protesting by bike on London's Blackfriars bridge just a couple of days ago.
Cycling protest tour 1979, Amsterdam. |
Blackfriars protest tour 2011, London. (Picture by Joe Dunckley) |
Painting cycle lanes, Amsterdam 1980 |
Painting cycle lanes, Moscow 2011 |
So where then is the difference? The below picture from 1974 says a lot. It shows the then prime minister of the Netherlands Joop den Uyl and his wife, accepting a record from the foundation 'Stop de kindermoord' (stop the child murder) with a protest song.
Prime Minister Joop den Uyl and his wife accepting a record with a protest song by 'Stop de Kindermoord' with the radical title: "playing on the streets: death penalty" |
Read more posts about campaigning. See examples of what works in the Netherlands.
How to read this post - a note from David
This is one of the most popular posts by Mark. Note his emphasis in the last paragraph about addressing the Prime Minister and his wife as parents. They were addressed as equals and as people in a similar situation to the protesters. This was not a "them vs. us" situation but one of mutual respect and support.
This is the essential difference between how the Dutch achieved change and how many other campaigns elsewhere have failed to achieve change. Campaigning for cyclists or cycling is not effective as you're then campaigning for an out-group and not proposing something beneficial to the masses. Similarly, there is no point in campaigning against drivers as you are then pitting a small group against a much larger group. What's more, while the Netherlands has been more successful than any other nation at reducing use of motorised transport, this country has achieved that end without alienating drivers and without overt anti-car measures. Choosing to fight against drivers means picking a battle which cannot be won and one which in any case you don't to fight.

Genworth's 9th Annual Cost of Care Survey Shows Long Term Care In-Home Services Costs Rise in Pennsylvania
With more options, Pennsylvania residents are urged to plan for long term care needs
RICHMOND, Va., April 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- According to Genworth's (NYSE: GNW) 2012 Cost of Care Survey, the cost to receive care in the home through home health aide services in Pennsylvania has risen over the past five years.
"Overwhelmingly, Americans prefer to receive long term care in the home and the relatively muted rise in home care costs nationally over the past few years can be viewed as a positive for consumers in Pennsylvania," said Steve Zabel, senior vice president of Long Term Care at Genworth. "Consumer demand for home care services has led to a proliferation of home care services providers and more choice for consumers. This competition has kept home care costs relatively stable, especially when compared to the cost of care in a nursing home or assisted living facility."
Nationally, the median hourly cost for homemaker services and home health aide services is $18 and $19, respectively. In Pennsylvania, by comparison, the median cost for homemaker services is $19 per hour and the median cost for home health aide services is $20 per hour. The median hourly cost for homemaker services in Pennsylvania has increased 2.2 percent annually over the past five years, while the hourly cost of home health aide services has increased 2.1 percent over the same period of time.
By comparison, the median annual cost for care in an assisted living facility is $39,600 nationally. The comparable cost in Pennsylvania is $39,015. The national yearly cost for assisted living has increased 5.7 percent a year over the past five years, while long term care costs in Pennsylvania have increased 9.1 percent a year during the same time period. Nationally, the median annual cost for a private nursing home room rose 4.3 percent annually over the past five years to $81,030, while costs in Pennsylvania increased 4.3 percent a year during the comparable time period to $99,280.
Then and Now: Increased Options Benefit Consumers
Consumers have more long term care options today than ever before as seen by the increasing number of home care agencies. According to the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare, there were approximately 9,200 Medicare-certified home care agencies in the U.S. at the start of 2008. Today, there are slightly over 11,000, representing an increase of 20 percent. Conversely, during this same period of time, the number of Medicare-certified nursing homes has increased less than one half of 1.0 percent from just over 15,000 to 15,100. The number of nursing homes is increasing at a slower rate and no longer represents the only option.
While consumers' options have increased dramatically, creating a tangible plan for long term care is a critical step many overlook. According to Genworth claims data, the youngest claimant ever was 27 years old. Although that is not the norm, it underscores the necessity for a care planning roadmap. Consumers can create a long term care plan and learn more about the cost of care in their local market and nationally by visiting www.Genworth.com/CostofCare. The site is rich with a range of educational and planning tools to help consumers compare costs across geographies, project future costs and share comparisons and calculations with family, friends or a financial professional.
"Understanding long term care costs in your local market and how these costs tend to change over time is vital to developing a plan to cover expected future costs," Zabel said. "Genworth's Cost of Care Survey is the most comprehensive of its kind and provides invaluable information on long term care costs that enable family members to conduct informed discussions with loved ones about future long term needs and preferences in order to be more informed consumers of long term care services."
Now in its 9th year, Genworth's Cost of Care Survey provides Americans with both national and local long term care cost data, as well as information on cost inflation over time. Resources include an interactive long term care map (also available as a free downloadable iPhone and iPad App) of long term care costs in 437 regions across all 50 states, including 15 in Pennsylvania.
Additional Resources:
- Genworth's "Let's Talk" campaign was developed to help families initiate conversations about long term care preferences, options and strategies.
- Genworth Celebrates Caregivers Facebook Page: Caregivers can have their questions about caregiving challenges answered by a professional care advocate.
- Caregiver Support Resource
- An interactive Cost of Care press release containing downloadable content such as the Cost of Care Map; a view of the Long Term Care industry and compelling stories from real people who have suffered a long term care event.
About Genworth's 2012 Cost of Care Survey
Genworth's Cost of Care Survey is the most comprehensive study of its kind, covering nearly 15,300 long term care providers nationwide. The survey includes 437 regions which cover all Metropolitan Statistical Areas defined for the 2010 U.S. Census. Genworth annually surveys the cost of long term care across the U.S. to help Americans plan for the potential costs associated with the various types of long term care available in their preferred location and setting. CareScout®, part of the Genworth Financial family of companies, has conducted the survey since 2004. Located in Waltham, Massachusetts, CareScout has specialized in helping families find long term care providers nationwide since 1997. Genworth's 2012 Cost of Care Survey was conducted during January, February and March 2012.

On October 20, 1997 I was gloriously saved in my living room on the love seat (I'm glad Jesus make's house calls!). At the time, I never imagined that almost 23 years later I'd be called as pastor of the great Concord Baptist Church where Brother Sammy Allen served for nearly 6 decades but, after being honored to serve as assistant and associate pastor for approximately 5 years, I humbly accepted the pastorate on August 16, 2020.
Bro. Allen's faithfulness, fervency, and "following of the old paths" is forever engraved into all of our hearts. As I child I remember attending Concord with my grandmother. She would often testify of her Saviour and Bro. Allen would "thunder the Scriptures! In fact, after my conversion, it was these recollections from my childhood that led me back to Concord. My precious grandmother passed away in 1990 but she undoubtedly "prayed me in! I'm so grateful for the memories of her faithfulness, God's presence, and God's preacher that brought me back to Concord Baptist Church. I joined their assembly the very Sunday after I was saved on October 26, 1997 and announced my call to preach in December of the same year.
Also around that time, the Lord began to draw my attention to a pretty auburn haired young lady who had grown up at Concord named Amy West. I have always said I got "the best of the West." Amy and I were married on April 3, 1999. Since then, the Lord has blessed us with four children, Luke, Katie, Hannah and John.
My family and I count it a privilege to be part of the Concord Baptist Church and the precious people that mean so much to us.

Cash! It sounds great, especially when selling your house. Visions of your profits floating down on, as if it were raining money, may be running through your mind. Stop, take a moment to learn about the differences between random cash buyers off of the street, and quality professional home buyers. No matter the reason, once you've considered all of the pros and cons if you've decided to take the course of selling to cash buyers, read this before you sell your house for cash in Stockton. There are many benefits to selling directly to consider before you make a costly mistake.
No matter which option you choose, you'll want to do your background check whether you sell your house for cash in Stockton or a professional direct buyer. While there are many reasons a homeowner may wish to sell the property quickly, working strictly with cash buyers may not be the glowy picture you're painting. Many of these cash buyers have decided to jump on the flipping bandwagon wanting to earn a quick buck without any understanding of the financial commitment involved. These get rich quick buyers often end up getting cold feet, backing out of deals, learning their lesson at your expense.
Fair Price
Cash buyers you encounter are looking to earn a quick turn around on their investment, and have little to no interest in your needs when you sell your house for cash in Stockton. It is likely that you won't come out on the good end of the transaction financially in this scenario. Professional direct buyers will take the time to listen and help you to assess what type of sale may be best for you. Keeping in mind all of the costs you eliminate by sidestepping the conventional process, they'll let you know if they feel you're in a good position to take the time to list the home on the traditional market. They care about doing what is best to suit your specific situation. Not only do they care about your final outcome in the deal, they know the market well and you can be certain the numbers they bring to you are on target.
Working with someone inexperienced could end up costing you dearly in both time lost and expenses that can't be recovered when you sell your house for cash in Stockton. Your cash buyer may delay and miss important closing deadlines because they have no experience to guide them in completing the process in a timely manner. Things will go smoothly and much quicker when you work with a direct buyer that you've thoroughly checked out. You can rest assured that you can depend on their word, allowing you to move forward with your plans in the time frame promised,
Often, sellers take the course of seeking cash buyers because the property is in a state of disrepair or neglect. Professional direct buyers will purchase the house as-is when you sell your house for cash in Stockton. Cash buyers rarely have the resources available to do such. In many cases, the seller finds themselves mired in the expenses and headaches of completing the very repairs which caused them to seek out the buyer initially. The profits slowly melting away, right back into the property. As a result of the number of transactions and a strong network in the construction industry, direct buyers understand all of this, having factored repairs into their initial offer.

There never really could be much doubt that the current experiment in competitive global currency debasement would end in anything less than a total war. There was always a chance that one or more of the principal players would snap out of it, change course and save their citizenry from a never ending cycle of devaluation. But developments since September 13, when the U.S. Federal Reserve finally laid all its cards on the table and went "all in" on permanent quantitative easing, indicate that the brainwashing is widely established and will be difficult to break. The vast majority of the world's leading central bankers seem content to walk in lock step down the path of money creation as a means to economic salvation. Never mind that the path will prevent real growth and may ultimately lead off a cliff. The herd is moving. And if it can't be turned, the only thing that one can do is attempt to get out of its way.
The details of the Fed's new plan (which I christened Operation Screw in last week's commentary) are not nearly as important as the philosophy it reveals. The Federal Reserve has already unleashed two huge waves of quantitative easing (purchases of either government securities or mortgage-backed securities) in order to stimulate consumer spending and ignite business activity. But the economy has not responded as hoped. GDP growth has languished below trend, the unemployment rate has stayed north of 8%, and the labor participation rate has fallen to all-time lows. In the meantime, America's fiscal position has grown significantly worse with government debt climbing to unimaginable territory. Despite the lack of results, the conclusion at the Federal Reserve is that the programs were too small and too incremental to be effective. They have determined that something larger, and potentially permanent, would be more likely to do the trick.
However, in making its new plan public, the Fed made a startling admission. At his press conference, Ben Bernanke backed away from previous assertions that printed money would be effective in directly pushing up business activity. Instead he explained how the new stimulus would be focused directly at the housing market through purchases of mortgage backed securities. He made clear that this strategy is intended to spark a surge in home prices that will in turn pull up the broader economy. Such a belief requires a dangerous amnesia to the events of the last decade. Despite the calamity that followed the bursting of our last housing bubble, economists feel this to be a wise strategy, proving that a poor memory is a prerequisite for the profession.
But now that the Fed is thus committed, the focus has shifted to foreign capitals. Not surprisingly, the dollar came under immediate pressure as soon as the plan was announced. In the 24 hours following the announcement, the Greenback was down 2.2% against the euro, 1.6% against the Australian Dollar, and 1.1% against the Canadian Dollar. A week after the Fed's move, the Mexican Peso had appreciated 2.7% against the US dollar. Many currency watchers noted that more dollar declines would be likely if foreign central banks failed to match the Fed in their commitments to print money. On cue, the foreign bankers responded.
It is seen as gospel in our current "through the looking glass" economic world that a weak currency is something to be desired and a strong currency is something to be disdained. Weak currencies are supposed to offer advantages to exporters and are seen as an easy way to boost GDP. In reality, weak currencies simply create the illusion of growth while eroding real purchasing power. Strong currencies confer greater wealth and potency to an economy. But in today's world,no central banker is prepared to stand idly by while their currency appreciates. As a result, foreign central banks are rolling out their own heavy artillery to combat the Fed.
Perhaps anticipating the Fed's actions, on September 6th the European Central Bank announced its own plan of unlimited buying of debt of troubled EU nations (however, the plan did come with important concessions to the German point of view – see John Browne's commentary). On September 17th, the Brazilian central bank auctioned $2.17 billion of reverse swap contracts to help push down the Brazilian Real. The next day, Peru and Turkey cut rates more than expected. On September 19th, the Bank of Japan increased its asset purchase program from 70 trillion yen to 80 trillion and extended the program by six months. It's clear we are seeing a central banking domino effect that is not likely to end in the foreseeable future.
Although the Fed is directing its fire towards the housing market, the needle they are actually hoping to move is not home prices, but the unemployment rate. Until that rate falls to the desired levels (some at the Fed have suggested 5.5%), then we can be fairly certain that these injections will continue. This will place permanent pressure on banks around the world to follow suit.
All of this simultaneous money creation will likely be a boon for nominal stock and real estate prices. But in real terms such gains will likely not keep pace with dollar depreciation. Inflation pushes up prices for just about everything, so stocks and real estate are not likely to prove to be exceptions. Even bond prices can rise in the short term, but their real values are the most vulnerable to decline. In fact, even nominal bond prices will ultimately fall, as inflation eventually sends interest rates climbing. But prices for hard assets, precious metals, commodities, and even those few remaining relatively hard currencies should be on the leading edge of the upward trend in prices.
While I believe the Fed's plan will be a disaster for the economy, the silver lining is that it provides investors with a road map. As the policy of the Fed is to debase the currency, those holding dollar based assets may seek alternatives in hard assets and in the currencies of the few remaining countries whose bankers have not drunken so freely from the Keynesian Kool-Aid. We believe that such opportunities do exist. Some broad ideas are outlined in the latest edition of my Global Investor Newsletter, which became available for download this week. I encourage those looking for ways to distance their wealth from the policies of Ben Bernanke to start their search today.

Wave of attacks kills at least 66 people in Iraq

BAGHDAD (AP) — A series of attacks including car bombings in Baghdad, an explosion at a market and a suicide assault in a northern city killed at least 66 people Sunday across Iraq, officials said, the latest in a wave of violence washing over the country.
Coordinated bombings hit Iraq multiple times each month, feeding a spike in bloodshed that has killed more than 5,000 people since April. The local branch of al-Qaida often takes responsibility for the assaults, although there was no immediate claim for Sunday's blasts.
Sunday's attacks were the deadliest single-day series of assaults since Oct. 5, when 75 people were killed in violence.
Police officers said that the bombs in the capital, placed in parked cars and detonated over a half-hour period, targeted commercial areas and parking lots, killing 42 people.
The deadliest blasts struck in the southeastern Nahrwan district, where two car bombs exploded simultaneously, killing seven and wounding 15, authorities said. Two other explosions hit the northern Shaab and southern Abu Dashir neighborhoods, each killing six people, officials said. Other blasts hit the neighborhoods of Mashtal, Baladiyat and Ur in eastern Baghdad, the southwestern Bayaa district and the northern Sab al-Bor and Hurriyah districts.
Meanwhile, in the northern city of Mosul, a suicide bomber drove his explosives-laden car into a group of soldiers as they were sealing off a street leading to a bank where troops were receiving salaries, killing 14, a police officer said. At least 30 people were wounded, the officer said. Also in Mosul, police said gunmen shot dead two off-duty soldiers in a drive-by shooting.
The former insurgent stronghold of Mosul is located about 360 kilometers (225 miles) northwest of Baghdad.
In the afternoon, a bomb blast killed four people and wounded 11 inside an outdoor market in the Sunni town of Tarmiyah, 50 kilometers (30 miles) north of Baghdad, authorities said.
Sunday night, police said mortar shells landed on homes in a Shiite district of Madain, a town just south of Baghdad, killing four people and wounding nine, officials said.
Such coordinated attacks are a favorite tactic of al-Qaida's local branch. It frequently targets civilians in markets, cafes and commercial streets in Shiite areas in an attempt to undermine confidence in the government, as well as members of the security forces. All of the car bombings Sunday in Baghdad struck Shiite neighborhoods.
In Mashtal in Baghdad, police and army forces sealed off the scene as ambulances rushed to pick up the wounded. Pools of blood covered the pavement. The force of the explosion damaged a number of cars and shops. At one restaurant, the blast overturned wooden benches and left broken eggs scattered on the ground. In Shaab, a crane lifted away at least 12 charred cars as cleaners swept away debris.
Medical officials confirmed the casualty figures for all attacks. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to publicly release the information.
Violence has spiked in Iraq since April, when the pace of killing reached levels unseen since 2008. Today's attacks bring the death toll across the country this month to 545, according to an Associated Press count.

Individual Retirement Account
Retirement may seem far away, but it's never too early to determine how much you'll need and to begin the process of saving. Making smart financial decisions now can help impact how you live in retirement. We can assist you along the way with our Individual Retirement Account (IRA)—it's designed to help you reach your retirement goals.
An IRA is a tax-deferred personal savings account that allows you to save for retirement without a company-sponsored plan. Throughout your lifetime, you can make tax-deductible "contributions" (subject to limitations) to your IRA, which you can then invest in basic securities such as stocks and bonds. For 2021, the annual amount you can contribute to an IRA is the lesser of 100% of earned compensation or $6,000, $7,000 if you are age 50 or older (as of December 31 of the tax year to which the contribution relates),
With a traditional IRA—the most common type of IRA—income taxes are deferred until you withdraw them, so you don't pay annual federal (and, in many cases, state) income taxes on your earnings. At age 59 ½, you can make taxable withdrawals from the account called distributions for your retirement. If you choose to take distributions before you turn 59 ½ years old, the government imposes a premature distribution penalty of 10% on your withdrawal. Additionally, when you turn 72 years old, you are required to take distributions by April 1 of the following calendar year.
Roth IRA Account
Unlike the traditional IRA, contributions to the Roth IRA are considered "after-tax" and therefore not deductible, but you can generally take distributions from the Roth IRA tax-free. The maximum annual contribution to the Roth IRA for 2021 is $6,000, $7,000, for individuals age 50 and older (as of December 31 of the tax year to which the contribution relates).
Coverdell Education Savings Account (ESA)
The Coverdell Education Savings Account or Education IRA is a trust created exclusively for the purpose of paying qualified education expenses. You can contribute up to $2,000 per year to the account and those contributions will grow tax-free until distributed. In addition, the beneficiary will not owe tax on the distributions if they are less than a beneficiary's adjusted qualified education expenses at an eligible institution.
Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees (SIMPLE)
In this written salary reduction arrangement, eligible employees contribute to an IRA in their name. Your employer is required to make annual contributions for each eligible participant. This type of arrangement is available to self-employed individuals or owners of companies that have 100 or fewer employees and no qualified retirement plan. Employees are eligible for a SIMPLE-IRA if they earn at least $5,000 annually during any 2 of the preceding calendar years SIMPLE-IRAs may be funded by annuities.
For 2020, the maximum employee contribution limit is the lesser of 100% of compensation or $13,500. SIMPLE IRA owners age 50 or older (as of December 31 of the tax year to which the contribution relates) may be eligible to make an annual "catch-up" contribution each year of $3,000. The money contributed to a SIMPLE IRA will accumulate tax deferred until money is withdrawn. Withdrawals are subject to ordinary income tax and, if taken before age 59 ½, a 10% federal income tax penalty may apply and this penalty is increased to 25% for distributions taken within the first two years of participation in the plan.

Dear Syrian rebels: I thought I'd take a minute to correspond with you as you resume your efforts to overthrow Syrian dictator Bashar Assad.
You no doubt are disappointed that the United States government chose not to come to your aid as promised. There is a good reason, and that is my purpose in writing you. Although I am not an official of the United States government, I am part of a group known as We the Unwashed. Put the blame squarely on us.
The president of the United States and his minions, as well as a bunch of out-of-touch and self-important politicians, forgot to include us in their war planning. Because we live outside the Beltway, they think We the Unwashed are a bunch of unsophisticated dummies who wouldn't understand. Bad mistake.
We the Unwashed raised so much hell with the Potomac poobahs and their blather about "red lines" and "unbelievably small" air strikes and "no boots on the ground" and other such jabberwocky that they had to back off. They did the right thing, finally. We don't raise our collective voices often but when we do, folks in our government had better listen to us. We don't throw bombs; we throw bums out of office. That is a big difference in our two cultures.
What was our problem with disapproving our government providing aid to you? It's simple: We the Unwashed don't like you. To show you how fair-minded we are, we don't like Assad, either. Neither side in your uncivil spat is worth one drop of American blood. We've been down this road before, and all we have to show for it is the loss of a lot of young lives and perpetual ingratitude from those we tried to help.
Some people, including naïve Americans — and we have a lot of them — got all warm and fuzzy when the dictatorships in Egypt and Libya were overthrown. They thought the Arab Spring would come bursting forth like dogwood blossoms. We the Unwashed knew better. Democracy doesn't seem to be your strong suit.
We watched President Jimmy Carter engineer the downfall of the Shah of Iran in 1979, and you see how that turned out. We've been paying for that one ever since. Carter's apologists will say he was taking the moral high ground. All I know is that the Iranians took our embassy in return and have spewed anti-American rhetoric at us ever since. So much for moral high grounds.
President George W. Bush didn't do much better with his "shock-and-awe" efforts except to convince us that your animosity toward us is exceeded only by your historic dislike for each other. Some shock.
We believe you just want our money and our expertise to help you take over Syria, and then we will have to endure marching in the streets and condemning the U.S. because that seems to be the modus operandi in your part of the world. I saw where Al-Zawahiri, the successor to the late, unlamented Osama bin Laden, said he didn't want his jihadists who are fighting against the Assad regime to "compromise" with moderate rebel factions. He wants to kill Americans and wants your help. And, I assume, he wants us to help pay for the privilege. Geez. I can't wait to see him sleeping with the fishes.
If it is any consolation to you, it may be just as well you didn't get our government's support. We don't have much faith here in the U.S. that our president and Congress can manage a calf-roping, let alone plan a missile strike into a weapons depot 5,000 miles away. They probably would blow up a Jiffy Lube in Ty Ty instead.
Then there is the fact that Russian President Vladimir Putin has made our president, Barack Obama, look like a Chicago community organizer way out of his league. That doesn't inspire a lot of confidence, does it? Putin even called John Kerry, our secretary of state, a liar. I would like to have seen him say that if Ronald Reagan still was around.
So, guys, thanks for taking time to hear me out. I wish I had better news for you, and I hope you understand now where We the Unwashed are coming from.
You boys get back to your fight with the Syrian government. I would like to say may the best man win, but in this war there is no best man.
Contact Yarbrough at email@example.com or P.O. Box 725373, Atlanta, GA 31139.
We the Unwashed won't help either side in Syria

It's no exaggeration that selling your home keeps you busy. In the midst of staging, pricing, listing, and scheduling tours, it's easy to overlook the details… like home security.
After all, while selling your home, you're probably allowing dozens of strangers to come inside for tours.
And while most of them probably have good intentions, it might not be a bad idea to beef up your home's security a little bit.
Here are a few ways to protect yourself and your belongings while still welcoming potential buyers into your home.
Showings by Appointment Only
When advertising your home for sale, be sure to use phrases like "appointment only" in your listing. Never allow anyone into your home unless they have a verified appointment with your Realtor.
It's okay to be extra cautious during this time! We recommend being alert whenever you allow anyone new into your home.
Confirm Appointments and Oversee Tours
If you're not working with a Realtor, you will need to personally request verification of potential homebuyers when they come for a tour.
When you work with a Realtor, however, you can trust that they know how to verify all potential buyers before any visitor walks through the door.
Remove All Valuables From Sight
Keep all valuables, including jewelry and collectibles, hidden in a secure safe or tucked away in a safety deposit box at your bank. Hide all personal information (bank statements, social security cards, etc.) in drawers or out of sight.
Don't leave anything of value lying around or in plain sight. It's part of staging your home to sell — you want to make sure your home looks as neutral as possible with zero personal effects.
Be Extra Cautious
It never hurts to be careful! This is where it helps to have an experienced Realtor on your side. They'll know what to look for and how to supervise buyers in your home as they tour.
It's also a great time to install a security system. Not only will this provide you with extra security as you sell your home, it may even increase your property's resale value!
Work With a Trusted Realtor
With the right Realtor on your side, you won't have to worry about keeping your home safe during the selling process. An experienced real estate agent will know exactly how to sell your home without jeopardizing its security.
That's exactly what you get when you choose to work with us. Give us a call today to learn more about how we can help you sell your home.

2014 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony Heralds Start of Sochi Games [PHOTOS]
An elaborate opening ceremony lasting more than three hours marked the start of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia on Friday. A reported 40,000 fans and athletes who packed the Fisht Olympic Stadium saw a visual spectacle of pomp and pageantry, including nods to the host nation's arts, culture and history.
Despite numerous reports of unfinished construction, rampant disorganization and subpar conditions at the 22nd Winter Olympic Games this week, Friday's events went off largely error-free. At the start of the ceremony, one of five large, glowing snowflakes meant to transform into lighted Olympic rings malfunctioned and stayed closed until well into the festivities.
Thousands of athletes representing the 85 countries competing at the games paraded into the massive outdoor stadium. The 230 members of the United States delegation received warm applause from the crowd, as they were led to their seats by six-time Olympic skier Todd Lodwick. Russia's Olympic team predictably received the longest and loudest ovation of the night.
Oversize depictions of the Sochi Games' mascots - the polar bear, a hare and a leopard - glided into the stadium to greet the masses. One of the ceremony's several dance performances then preceded a colorful trip through Russian history illustrated with floats and symbols noting Leo Tolstoy's "War and Peace," the Russian Revolution, the Iron Curtain and more.
Speeches from Sochi Olympic head Dmitry Chernyshenko and International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach then preceded Russian President Vladimir Putin's official declaration of the start of the games.
After ceremonies welcomed the Olympic flag and administered the Olympic oath, a string of Russian athletes passed the Olympic torch toward the cauldron at the center of the stadium.
Tennis champion Maria Sharapova, pole vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva, wrestler Aleksandr Karelin, gymnast Alina Kabaeva, figure skater Irina Rodnina and hockey goalie Vladislav Tretiak all carried the torch, but Rodnina and Tretiak ultimately lit the wick. A spectacular fireworks show subsequently brought the ceremony to a close.
NBC will broadcast a recorded version of the ceremonies at 7 p.m. (ET) on Friday night.
Prior to the event, a plane was reportedly forced to land at an Istanbul airport on Friday after a passenger indicated there was a "bomb on board" and requested the aircraft land in Sochi. Officials were searching the plane and investigating the threat. No security threats were reported from Sochi.
The first full day of Olympic competition is set for Saturday with gold medals to be awarded in five events.

Reunions poignant for dwindling veterans
DAYTON, Ohio — Paul Young rarely talked about his service during World War II — about the B-25 bomber he piloted, about his 57 missions, about the dangers he faced or the fears he overcame.
"Some things you just don't talk about," he said.
But Susan Frymier had a hunch that if she could journey from Fort Wayne, Ind., with her 92-year-old dad for a reunion of his comrades in the 57th Bomb wing, he would open up.
She was right: On a private tour at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force near Dayton, amid fellow veterans of flights over southern Europe and Germany, Young rattled off vivid details of his plane, crewmates, training and some of his most harrowing missions.
"Dad, you can't remember what you ate yesterday, but you remember everything about World War II," his daughter said, beaming.
When Young came home from the war, more than 70 years ago, there were 16 million veterans like him — young soldiers, sailors and Marines who returned to work, raise families, build lives. Over the decades, children grew up, married, had children of their own; careers were built and faded into retirement; love affairs followed the path from the altar to the homestead and often, sadly, to the graveyard.
Through it all, the veterans would occasionally get together to remember the greatest formative experience of their lives. But as the years wore on, there were fewer and fewer of them. According to the Department of Veteran Affairs, just a little over 1 million remain. The ones who remain are in their 80s and 90s, and many are infirm or fragile.
So the reunions, when they are held, are more sparsely attended — yearly reminders of the passing of the Greatest Generation.
— When veterans of the Battle of the Bulge gathered in Kansas City this summer, only 40 came, according to organizers, down from 63 last year and 350 in 2004.
— Of the 80 members of Doolittle's Raiders who set out on their daring attack on Japan in 1942, 73 survived. Seventy-one years later, only four remain; they decided this year's April reunion in Fort Walton Beach, Fla., would be their last, though they met Saturday for a final toast in honor of those who have gone before them.
— A half-century ago, when retired Army First Lt. Frank Towers went to his first reunion of the 30th Infantry Division — soldiers who landed at the beaches of Normandy and fought across France and Germany — he was surrounded by 1,000 other veterans.
"Now if I get 50, I'm lucky," said Towers, who is working on plans for a reunion next February in Savannah, Ga. "Age has taken its toll on us. A lot of our members have passed away, and many of them who are left are in health situations where they can't travel."
So why persist?
"It's a matter of camaraderie," Towers said. "We spent basically a year or more together through hell or high water. We became a band of brothers. We can relate to each other in ways we can't relate to (anyone else). You weren't there. These guys were there. They know the horrors we went through."
As many as 11,000 people served in the 57th Bomb Wing that flew missions over German-held Europe from North Africa and the island of Corsica during most of the war. Hundreds survive, according to wing historians and reunion organizers. Only nine veterans made it to this fall's event.
George Williams, 90, recalled earlier reunions with his comrades, "having a great time yukking it up and talking about things." No one else from his squadron came to this one.
"All of a sudden, it's lonesome," said Williams, a native of Visalia, Calif., who moved after his wife's death to Springfield, Mo., where his son lives. "All of the people you ran around with are on the wrong side of the grass. You wonder why you're so lucky."
But in a Holiday Inn hospitality suite with patriotic bunting, bowls of pretzels and chips with soft drinks at their tables, the stories flowed easily.
Williams remembered the tension of his first mission, his hand ready at the tag that would release him to bail out if necessary. It went without incident, and upon their return to base, a flight surgeon measured out two ounces of whiskey for each crewman. "Sixty-nine to go," he said then, because 70 missions was considered the tour of duty. Sometimes on later missions, he would pour the two ounces into a beer bottle to save up for a night when he needed numbing.
Robert Crouse, of Clinton, Tenn., is 89 years old, but he remembers as if it happened yesterday the time a shell blew out the cockpit windshield ("you could stick your head through it"), disabling much of the control panel. Another plane escorted the bomber, its pilot calling out altitude and air speed as Crouse's plane limped back to base, riddled with holes.
Young recalled flying a damaged plane back to base, hearing his tail gunner's panicked yells as Plexiglass shattered over him. "You could feel the plane vibrate; you fly through the smoke, you smell the smoke and you hear the flak hitting the plane like hail on a tin roof."
Not all the memories are bad ones. There was the late-war mission when they hit a spaghetti factory instead of the intended target ("Spaghetti was flying everywhere," recalled Crouse, chuckling). There was Williams' first Thanksgiving meal overseas: a Spam turkey, spiced and baked to perfection by an innovative cook.
"I still love Spam," he said.
Then there was R&R in Rome, hosted by the Red Cross. Young men not long removed from high school toured the Colosseum and other historic sites they had read about. They visited the Vatican; some met Pope Pius XII. Williams got a papal blessing of a rosary for his engineer's fiancee.
"It was pretty good," Williams said of his war experience, "except when they were shooting at us."
Some of the veterans fear that their service will be forgotten after they are gone. Crouse and others have written memoirs, and many of the reunion groups now have websites, magazines and other publications in which they recount their stories.
"You just hope that the young people appreciate it," said Young. "That it was very important, if you wanted to continue the freedom that we have."
Their children remember. Some are joining them at the reunions; others keep coming after their fathers are gone.
At this year's reunion, Bob Marino led a memorial service and read the names of 42 members of the 57th Bomb Wing who died in the past year. A bugler played "Taps."
Marino, 72, a retired IRS attorney and Air Force veteran from Basking Ridge, N.J., helped organize the gathering. His Brooklyn-native father, Capt. Benjamin Marino, died in 1967 and left numerous photos from the war, and Marino set about trying to identify and organize them. To learn more about his father's experiences, he corresponded with other veterans — including Joseph Heller, who was inspired by his wartime experiences with the 57th to write his classic novel "Catch-22."
"He never talked about any of this," Marino said, turning the pages on a massive scrapbook as veterans dropped by to look at the photos. "Once in a while, something came out. I wish I had sat down and talked to him about it."
This was precisely the gift Susan Frymier received at the reunion in Dayton.
She watched as the father who had long avoided talking about the war proudly pulled from his wallet a well-worn, black-and-white snapshot of the plane he piloted, nicknamed "Heaven Can Wait" with a scantily clad, shapely female painted near the cockpit.
She listened as he described German anti-aircraft artillery fire zeroing in on his plane. "I had to get out of there. All the flak … they were awfully close." He described "red-lining" a landing, running the engines beyond safe speed. His voice suddenly choked.
"Oh, Dad!" said his daughter, and she hugged him tightly.

007 One by One – From Russia with Love
We continue our look at the film adventures of the world's most beloved killer spy with the James Bond flick many critics and fans consider the best in the series, based on Ian Fleming's most acclaimed spy novel.
"From Russia with Love" (1963)
The Plot
After the death of their operative, Dr. No, SPECTRE is one rather peeved diabolical organization bent on world domination. Also, they could use some cash. The villains' collective therefore devises a plan to steal a hugely prized Lektor decoding device from the Soviets by using the superspy responsible for No's demise as a pawn. Endgame: Sell the device for a huge sum and kill James Bond. The bait will be the defection, with the Lektor, of a beautiful and unknowing Soviet operative working out of the Russian embassy in Turkey. She is another pawn, a loyal low-level agent who is tricked into cooperating and told to develop a romantic fixation on Bond. The proposal is such an obvious trap, and the Lektor such a desirable prize, that there's no way the British secret service can possibly resist going to Istanbul for a look. It all wraps up in a sexy and violent trip on the legendary Orient Express and an exciting and dangerous (for stunt men) boat chase.
The Backstory
Following up on the success of "Dr. No," the EON production team of Albert R. "Cubby" Broccoli and Harry Saltzman elected to follow the lead of the series' most famous fan. President John F. Kennedy had singled out Ian Fleming's novel, From Russia with Love, as one of his ten favorite books in an issue of Time Magazine. Despite nearly 100 opening pages in which Bond does not appear, the story was more or less tailor made for a movie, and the rest was a matter of bringing back "Dr. No" writers Richard Maibum and Johanna Harwood to make the story more Hollywood friendly.
First of all, the relatively simple Stalin-era plot of the original novel was updated and complicated to avoid controversy. In light of the more morally complex Khrushchev era and the recent Cuban missile crisis, many viewers were likely to disagree with Ian Fleming's extremely hawkish, if somewhat tongue-in-cheek, take on the Cold War. And, so a story about ultra-evil Russians trying to take out the West's most effective counterspy with maximum collateral PR damage, became a tale involving SPECTRE's desire to grow its cash and power reserves while manipulating MI6 and the KGB into a costly and unnecessary battle. Seeing as the production code was growing weaker even as the Bond budget was growing larger, the sex and violent action quotients was also bumped up considerably from the novel.
Along with newborn superstar leading man Sean Connery, dashing director Terrence Young returned for his second Bond outing after the success of "Dr. No." Aside from allowing the talented Young to firmly set the tone for the series, bringing him back proved to be a wise choice. Often described him as something of a real-life James Bond, Young was the kind of steady hand the difficult shoot would require.
The challenges Young would face included several changes in locations, numerous reshoots, plus lots of difficult and dangerous stunt work. A scene involving hundreds of rats proved especially tricky because English law permitted only the use of white rats. When the animal wranglers placed cocoa powder on the rats to give them a less hygienic look, the rats were distracted, licking the tasty cocoa powder off themselves and each other. The scene wound-up being shot in Spain.
Murphy's law was certainly in force on the second Bond film, but director Young took events in stride. He was reportedly back at work within hours after being involved in an apparently minor helicopter crash, though we're not sure how a helicopter crash can be anything less than a big deal. More tragically, Young also had to deal with the news that key actor Pedro Armendáriz was terminally ill. (More about that below.)
The Bond Girls (Rule of 3 or, in this case, 4)
Yes, an apparent threesome boosts Mr. Bond usual number of consummated movie affairs. The "From Russia with Love" Bond girls are…
Sylvia Trench (Eunice Gayson) — Bond's Chemin de Fer opponent from "Dr. No" returns. Trench was supposed to be an ongoing liaison in each of the films, but her lakeside tryst with Bond was to be her final appearance. We're guessing that even a hint of sexual repetition was seen as too much of a hindrance to 007's womanizing ways. Ironically, Gayson had originally tried out for the longer-lasting but more chaste role of Moneypenny.
Vida and Zora (Aliza Gur and Martine Beswick) — Bond watches with interest, and some concern, as a pair of extremely jealous Gypsy girls stage a to-the-death fight over a man until they are interrupted by a group of Russian-paid Bulgars gunmen. After Bond helps save the day for the Romany, it is strongly hinted that the hot blooded trio spend the rest of the evening making love, not war. (In the novel, Bond is more of a passive observer of some kinky bloodshed.)
As for the talented and lovely ladies who played Vida and Zora, Aliza Gur was a former Miss Israel and Miss Universe semi-finalist. She would later appear in such spy-themed TV shows as "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." and "Get Smart." The Anglo-Jamaican Martine Beswick, who may or may not have been one of the dancing silhouettes from the "Dr. No" credits, would return to Bondage as Paula Caplan in "Thunderball" and enjoy a lengthy career as a busy working actress. A supporting role in 1966's "One Million B.C." would be followed by such low-budget productions as 1967's "Prehistoric Women," 1971's "Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde," and 1980's "The Happy Hooker Goes Hollywood." More upscale roles from the eighties and nineties included "Melvin and Howard," "Miami Blues," and the 1993 version of "Wide Sargasso Sea."
Tatiana Romanova (Daniela Bianchi) — An idealistic operative who thinks she's working for the Soviets in an operation designed to pass false information to MI6, Tatiana finds it easy to play the role of a love struck defector when she meets the dashing James Bond. Though her loyalties may be divided, her attraction to Bond is undeniable.
Since her character was described as resembling 1930s film star Greta Garbo in the novel, it was a sure bet that former Miss Rome and Miss Universe semi-finalist Bianchi would be lovely and charismatic, if not quite up to the acting standards of the great Garbo. Ms. Bianchi does, however, deliver a credible and very sexy performance, though her Italian accent was removed with a total voice assist from veteran English actress Barbara Jefford. Unfortunately, her best remembered non-"From Russia with Love" outing remains the notorious Eurospy spoof, "Operation Kid Brother," which starred real-life Sean Connery kid brother, Neil. (Check out this slideshow for more pics of Daniela Bianchi)
Friends and Colleagues
M (Bernard Lee) and Moneypenny (Louise Maxwell) are both back for more banter. By this point, the pattern is being set for the characters' fun but exposition-heavy scenes that would be a mainstay of the series for decades to come. The scenes are always somewhat the same: It's Moneypenny's job to provide some flirtatious silliness and M's job to make sure the frivolity doesn't eat up too much screen time. The business with Bond throwing his seemingly unworn bowler hat on the hat stand makes a return as well. However, "From Russia with Love" gives us two additions to Bond's onscreen colleagues, each in their own way legendary.

1963-D Lincoln Cent : BU : 1MM-010 (RPM-010)
Reference Item Number: 190104048
Repunched mint marks of this issue are somewhat tough to locate, possibly because there were a lot of coins minted and not very many known die varieties have been found.
As a seller I believe in full disclosure by way of a detailed description and large, clear photographs when warranted, but many less expensive and bulk items make more sense to carry with 'sample' photographs rather than photographing each individual lot sold. For that reason, if the description above specifies that a stock image is used, be aware that the items you will receive are in like kind to the images provided, but WILL NOT be the exact same items.
Charles D. Daughtrey is the founder and owner of coppercoins and has been a specialist in the Lincoln cent for more than 40 years. He is the author and developer of the attribution system now used across the Lincoln cent die variety market commonly known as the "coppercoins die attribution system" for die varieties such as doubled dies and repunched mintmarks. He is the author of, "Looking Through Lincoln Cents, a Chronology of a Series," and is a member of the Numismatic Literary Guild, the American Numismatic Association, Florida United Numismatists, and the Central States Numismatic Society as well as other local and national numismatic clubs.
