RatePlug for Agents
Agents, this is included with your MLS membership* – no credit card needed
When you connect your originators to your MLS listings, you help the home buyer better understand affordability – that means better qualified buyers that close faster!
*Lenders pay a license fee to be displayed
Qualify Buyers Faster
With RatePlug, the difference is affordability. When agents invite lenders to display their rates on MLS listings, the result is the 4 bedroom 2.5 bath home in a nice area isn't only $225,000, it's $1,375.87 per month including principal, interest, taxes, and HOA.
When home buyers have an understanding of monthly affordability, they are more likely to qualify for a loan.
In fact, agents who use RatePlug close 15% faster than agents who don't.
When You Display Affordability On Your MLS Listings, Great Things Happen…
Passive buyers become active buyers. When you connect your originators to your MLS listings, you help the home buyer better understand affordability.
More time on page. When RatePlug is embedded in your listings, homebuyers spend more time viewing your property listings. That means better informed buyers!
Engage active buyers. RatePlug connects the agent and originator to the MLS and the home buyer who is ready to buy – not just browsing.
Why Pay for a Separate Flyer System?
RatePlug's property flyer system is included with your MLS membership.
Generate custom property flyers right from the MLS with your lenders' rates and products displayed.
Multiple flyer layouts and colors to choose from.
Monthly affordability embedded in flyers (includes PITI and HOA).
The system also streamlines social media posts with property specific affordability calculated for every MLS listing.
Lender Support at Your Fingertips
Use RatePlug's agent dashboard to…
Request a flyer from your lender.
Post your listings with mortgage information in social media.
View special financing options available for your properties.
What Are You Waiting For?
RatePlug is included with your MLS membership – *Lenders pay a fee to be displayed
Far too many closings fail due to financing. Protect your time and effort by engaging a trusted lender that uses RatePlug to help you close faster.
Unlike typical mortage payment calculators, RatePlug leverages the full property detail available within the MLS to calculate monthly affordability. This monthly cost to own includes the full PITI, HOA, and other costs based upon multiple financing options.
When the homebuyers say "we can afford that" – they are more likely to make an offer.

Blocks are the basic units of structure in Minecraft that can be directly placed in the game world.
Blocks are arranged in a three-dimensional grid of 1-cubic-meter cells. Each cell usually contains exactly one block; exceptions exist in the form of slabs, vines, snow layers, turtle eggs and sea pickles.
Together, blocks and fluids build up the in-game environment, and most can be harvested and utilized in various fashions. Some blocks, such as dirt and sandstone, are opaque and occupy their entire cubic meter, while other blocks, such as glass and flowers, are transparent or non-solid. Explosions destroy some blocks more easily than they destroy others.
Some blocks, such as torches and glowstone, emit light. The amount of light they emit varies widely; see this table of light values for further information. Opaque blocks completely block light, while transparent blocks can have no effect on light, block the light, or merely weaken it.
Almost all blocks ignore gravity, with the exception of sand, red sand, gravel, anvils, dragon eggs, concrete powder, scaffolding, and snow.[Bedrock Edition only]
When broken, blocks emit sounds and particles associated with themselves, except in the following cases:
- When the block is removed by a piston.[1]
- If the block is affected by gravity and falls into an invalid space.[Java Edition only][2]
- Anvils that are destroyed by running out of durability or falling. Only particles are missing.[3]
- If the block is washed away by a flowing fluid.[4]
- If the block can be replaced by other blocks, and is replaced.[5]
- If the block is a rail, powered rail, detector rail, activator rail, redstone wire, redstone comparator or redstone repeater and it's supporting block is removed.[6]
- If the block is leaves and decays.[7]
Block height
Most solid blocks are 1 meter high (3.28084 ft), but certain blocks (especially slabs and stairs) have non-standard block heights.
A player can automatically step up from a lower to a higher height if the difference is at most 0.6 (3⁄5) of a block or 1.9685 feet.
Also, the world height limit is 256 blocks/meters (839.895 ft).
The textures on the faces of blocks are 16×16 pixels. Most blocks are proportionately one cubic meter by default, but their shape can be changed using models.
Most blocks have static textures, but these blocks are animated: water, lava, Nether portal, End portal, End gateway, prismarine (slab; stairs; wall), sea lantern, magma block, seagrass, kelp, fire, lantern, lit campfire, lit blast furnace, lit smoker, stonecutter and command block.
Using resource packs, the player can change the textures and resolution of blocks, including whether their texture is animated. They can also change the shapes of blocks using models and the size of blocks to any size with equal width and height, though sizes that are a power of two tend to work better.
List of blocks
[more information needed] Blocks with a gray background cannot be obtained in the inventory.
Bedrock Edition
These blocks can be accessed only in Bedrock Edition. In this edition, item frames work as block entities, old stonecutters are obtainable only by inventory editing, and glowing obsidian, invisible bedrock, and nether reactor cores are not obtainable at all but continue to exist in old worlds.
Education Edition (mobile) only
These blocks can be accessed only in Education Edition and in Bedrock Edition when education options are enabled.
Removed blocks
Removed blocks no longer exist in current versions of the game.
Technical blocks
Technical blocks are blocks whose main functions are strictly tied to the usage of other blocks. They cannot be acquired through normal gameplay. Most of them cannot be obtained with commands and even external editors,[Java Edition only] but others require commands or mods to obtain. They serve various purposes during events within the game. If acquired, they usually have a missing texture.
Many of these blocks have different representations in the inventory; flint and steel is used to place fire, water and lava can be placed with their respective buckets, and blocks such as beds, doors, cake and flower pots have separate inventory items.

A Must for Healthy Living
Summer season has bloomed with all its might and the scorching Sun is all set to make our days sunnier! More opportunities to go out and enjoy life! But the season also brings along skin issues, hair problems, and of course, heat boils. Our energy levels take a toll and eventually our health suffers here and there. Most common sufferers are kids and old age group people. However, one can avoid the hassles of summer season by following a few healthcare tips which can lend you a helping hand in enjoying the season freely.
Let's have a detailed look at some important healthcare tips for summer season:
Water, water, and water and all your summer worries go down a drain. Water is the easiest and most affordable way to keep your body hydrated. Its always advisable to double your water intake during summers. In fact, as per health experts, one should drink atleast 8-10 glasses of water. But when we say that hydrate your body with water, we do not mean use aerated drinks. Soft drinks or aerated drinks contain a high level of sugar which can harm your body to a great extent. However, one can add a pinch of salt to water in order to make up for the salt loss during summers.
Biggest advantage of the Summer season is the highest number of fresh and juicy fruits which we can enjoy. Watermelons, mangoes, muskmelon, pineapple are some of the luxuries. Keeping them by your side and enjoying them from time to time during the day can keep your health worries at a distance. Make fruit salads, fruit creams, juices, and nourish your body in a scrumptious way! Fruits contain sufficient minerals and water content to keep your body hydrated. A must for healthcare during sumeers season.
Our mother nature has lots of gifts in its baskets. One such gift is leafy vegetables which can make your body strong enough to tackle the heatstroke and other summer health issues. Include some amount of protein as well in your diet for example, Soy, Cottage Cheese, Sprouted Beans, etc. Health experts always include leafy vegetables in their list of To Dos' as a medium of healthcare during summer.
This is a fact that our body loses vital nutrients during peak summers. Thus, it is always necessary to include nutrient supplements in our diet to tackle this loss. One can visit one's doctor to take advise on what supplements to take. Moreover, Vitamin B complex and Vitamin C are known to work as anti oxidants to work as a shield for our body.
Sunburns are a common sight during summers. Long exposure to UV radiation coming from Sun can damage your skin tissues which in turn causes sunburns. However, UV radiation is also known to cause skin cancer. To prevent sunburns, try to keep indoors between 10 A.M. To 2 P.M. As these radiations are the strongest during this hour. Sunscreens and sunblocks are most useful in preventing sunburns.
Moreover, apart from these health care tips for summer season, if you feel any kind of discomfort, please visit call healthish.in & book a health check-up in Delhi/NCR with free Sample Collection at home. Our body is known to give us signs of bad health but we tend to ignore them mostly. But, to stay safe, especially during summer season, always visit your doctor for regular check ups. Enjoy your Summers!

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — There was confusion at the embattled Galilee Memorial Gardens Thursday.
You'll remember several years ago the man who once ran the cemetery, Jemar Lamert, took an Alford plea after he was accused of disturbing practice allegations - including stacking bodies on top of each other.
The Bartlett cemetery is now closed as work is being done to restore the place.
Thursday is the last day to file a claim with the state if you purchased a marker at the cemetery that was never put down to represent a loved one.
However, there has been some confusion that's causing dozens of people to show up to the cemetery.
Angela Manning was one of those who were turned away at the Galilee Memorial Gardens.
"They won't let us in because they're saying it's still a crime scene," Manning said. "I'm confused, very."
Her 10-year-old grandson has been buried at Galilee Memorial Gardens since 2012. She says her family had heard something about picking up headstones.
"She called the number and is only getting a voicemail, and it's full," Manning said. "We don't know. It's confusing."
Kevin Walters, Communications Director for the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance, explained what's going on.
"As part of cleaning up the property we found the excess headstones, and we want people who may have purchased these headstones whenever this was run by previous owners to make a claim on these excess headstones. These are not the headstones that are there over the burial plots. I'm going to say that again, 'These are not the headstones over the burial plots.' These are the excess headstones that are located at the back of the property.If one of the names on one of those excess headstones is someone that you know, or was for a headstone for someone that you purchased, you can make a claim to secure that headstone."
Again, they want you to file a claim.
For questions and to file claims you can email email@example.com or 615-370-0051.
The full list of markers that may be claimed through this process may be found here.

Earlier today Apple introduced their new line of iPhone's, the 5c and the 5s along with iOS 7 and some new features not previously disclosed.
The iPhone 5c:
First and most noticeably it comes in several colors.
It is a plastic shell made of one piece and should prove to be far more durable than previous all glass models, like the iPhone 4 and 4S.
It also has a new A6 chip, a generation up from the 4S's A5 chip.
Best of all, it starts at $99, subsidized by the carriers of course. This will be a huge deal for many people who found even the base model of previous iPhone's starting at $199 to be too much. It will allow more people to own a new iPhone at a more reasonable price point.
The $99 model comes in 16GB and the $199 model will come in 32GB
The iPhone 5s
The new, top line model of the iPhone has some new improvements over the current iPhone 5 and even the lower tier iPhone 5c models.
Most notably, the metal frame which comes in billed colors as Silver, Space Gray and Gold. Additionally, it has a ring around the home button which is part of the sapphire button and new Touch ID fingerprint identity sensor.
It has a new camera with dual-LED's flash which is tinted to allow for better photos depending on subject and lighting conditions.
The most interesting new feature to me is the Touch ID fingerprint identity sensor. Apple says that it is strictly used to authenticate to the phone, make iTunes and App Store purchases. They advise that the data it uses from your fingerprint stays on the phone and locked inside the A7 chip. It's never used by third-party apps, sent to Apple or uploaded to iCloud.
Hopefully, that remains true and that it will secure. But also, I hope that the sensor won't be easily defeated and tricked into authenticating when the proper users print isn't being used. Many bio-metric sensors in the past have been able to be defeated rendering them useless. I certainly hope this time, Apple made it bulletproof.
I have little doubt that security experts and bad guys alike will go to work on this Touch ID technology and try to find cracks in it.
A couple of things that I was slightly surprised to see, or rather not see, is that Apple didn't raise the base capacity from 16GB to 32GB. And that they didn't include the new wireless AC standard to go with the new Airport Extreme and match the new MacBook Air.
The cases for the 5c look terrible in my opinion, but I am sure there will be folks, probably the younger ones than I, will enjoy them. The cases for the 5s seem rather pricey at $40. I think $20-$25 would be more acceptable for a price.
I'm due for an upgrade this year and the 5s will be in my future. I don't know yet which color I want and will wait until my local AT&T store has them in stock so that I may view and handle them in person.

Reversible Cast Iron Griddle
Our cast iron griddle has two sides to it which will enhance the way you cook your food. One side is ridged to give your food a seared/stripy finish and the channels on the sides will drain away excess fat. Many people find that the griddle is a more efficient way of cooking and you will find that the large surface distributes the heat evenly.
What is the griddle made of?
Our Griddle is made from heavy, durable cast iron that is built to last a lifetime so you can be sure that you will get many happy years of cooking from the griddle. As well as this, you will find that the other side is flat so you can use it as a hot plate for cooking, so you can cook anything from eggs to scotch pancakes. The griddle is hard wearing and will heat up quickly. In addition, you will love how easy the griddle is to set-up, use and clean. Storing the griddle is really easy and it won't take up much room in your cupboard.
Due to the properties of cast iron, you can use the griddle on:
- Induction Hobs
- Electric & Gas cookers
- AGA / solid top cookers
- BBQs
- Ovens
- Under the grill
- You can also take it on your next camping trip and use it on a camping gas stove.
Cleaning your cast iron griddle
The griddle is incredibly easy to clean, all you need is a wire brush and hot water. It is not recommended for dishwasher use or using detergent for cleaning.
- Overall Size inc Handles 40cm x 25cm
- Cook Area Size 30cm x 23.5cm
- 4kg
Customer Reviews
Great Griddle
Really pleased. I followed the pre use instructions and haven't looked back. It's easy to clean and cooks really well. I haven't reached for a frying pan since I've had it
The reversible griddle
the griddle is excellent. Delivery was on time. I would certainly use your outlet for future purchases
Excellent for my Buschbeck bbq
A better alternative than a wired rack
Reversible Griddle Cast Iron
Good except that a bit small.
Useful griddle
Delivered quickly well packaged overall pleased with the grill but doesn't sit completely flat on my Aga so have been using it in the oven which is fine for me.


text: It is widely assumed that stakeholder participation has great potential to improve the perceived legitimacy of natural resource management (NRM) and that the deliberative-democratic qualities of participatory procedures are central to the prospects of success. However, attempts to measure the actual effects of deliberation on the perceived legitimacy of participatory NRM are rare. This article examines the links between deliberation and legitimacy in participatory NRM empirically by tracing the determinants of stakeholders' level of policy support and their views about procedural fairness. The study uses statistical methods to analyse survey data from a state-led initiative to develop new plans for ecosystem-based coastal and marine management through a participatory approach in five coastal areas in Sweden. We find that the perceived quality of deliberation had a positive impact on these aspects of legitimacy. However, both policy support and perceived procedural fairness were mainly driven by instrumental-substantive considerations rather than deliberative-democratic qualities of the process.

I came from Eritrea to Derby at the age of 18 and I have been living at the YMCA on London Road since I came. I have made many friends there and we play football behind Derby stadium every couple of weeks.
When I rst arrived to Derby for the first time I was really interested in education because I wanted to progress my skills and learn how to communicate fluently in English. And joining a part time English course in Normanton after a month was not really enough to develop my language skills. So I asked my care worker to help me to get into a full time course which was very hard in the middle of the academic year. But she was very supportive and found a suitable course for me, which is the Lexis course at Derby College.
Eventually I joined Derby College. I have made some very good friends with students who are kind and friendly. The students on the Lexis course come from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds and I find that fascinating because this is the first time in my life to experience this. Our teachers are friendly and helpful.
Derby College is really an enormous college and it has many facilities for students. I feel I am in the right place especially as I am very keen on education and my ultimate goal is to improve all my skills to have a good career in the future.Read through the Community Programme

Token Summits in SF and NYC
The Token Summit, run by AVC regulars William Mouyagar and Nick Tomaino, announced two more events in the coming months, Dec 5th 2017 in San Francisco and May 17 2018 in New York.
The first Token Summit was held in NYC at NYU last May, and sold out. Here's a highlight reel from it.
Today, William and Nick have published the agenda for the San Francisco conference, and you can find it here. It is being held at the Mission Bay Conference Center at UCSF, in a hall that will fit 600 people.
Some of USV's portfolio companies will be presenting, and I am sure William and Nick will have yet another successful event. If you want to learn about where the token economy is going, and network with the entrepreneurs and companies who are leading it, the Token Summit is a great place to do that.

Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord God: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? (Ezek. 18:23)
For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye (Ezek. 18:32).
Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? (Ezek. 33:11)
These three texts appear frequently in discussions and debates on the topic of common grace. They are generally understood as meaning that God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked generally, and absolutely, that God here expresses a real, earnest, ardent (albeit ineffectual and unfulfilled) desire for the salvation of absolutely all men, and that in these texts, God is presenting a general, well-meant offer of grace and salvation to all.
The following articles are various Reformed voices on these texts:

Sleeping is something which people think you just do. They don't understand that it is difficult for some people or that there are strategies to make the process easier. This article will educate you on how to sleep better.
If you have someone around who can give you a massage, it can help with your insomnia. Massages can be a good way to relieve tension as well as make you drowsy. Let your mind be free while getting the massage so that your body can relax.
If you're dealing with insomnia a lot, then you should exercise more during your day. This stabilizes you metabolism and helps you sleep easier. Getting more exercise during the day will increase your hormone levels and promote sleep.
A regular bedtime routine is important to help you sleep without suffering from insomnia and it is important that you develop your own. Relaxation exercises, warm baths, and music are all great things to include in your routine. To facilitate a night of restful sleep each and every night, schedule these activities at a certain time each day, and stick to the schedule.
Try a heated water bottle in bed. The heat from the bottle will help relieve any tension you might have in your body. It might be enough to let you fall asleep. A smart beginning place is to set the bottle atop your stomach. Breathe deep and relax. The heat will help you.
For many people having difficulty getting to sleep, quieting the endless deluge of thoughts going through their heads is a big obstacle. This is quite distracting. Thinking of ways to distract the mind is essential for people when their mind is racing on and on. Play the therapeutic sounds of waves crashing or wind chimes to distract your mind so that you can fall asleep.
Your bedroom is where you sleep and get dressed. If you have a computer in your room, it may be difficult to sleep. Sleep only in this room to train your body.
Something you have to think about when you attempt to move past insomnia is not forcing yourself. If going to bed at a specific time isn't working, try putting off your bedtime until you are tired. This could seem contradictory, but many try forcing themselves to sleep when waiting a bit could help.
Want a good night's sleep? Try exercising. It's been shown to improve your sleep. But be careful about exercising at night as it acts as a stimulant. You will have difficulty falling asleep if you exercise within three hours of your usual bedtime.
Always be aware of side effects and dangers associated with sleep medications before taking them. While sleeping pills may treat your symptoms, you must address the cause of your insomnia. Also, it is wise to conduct your own research on possible side effects.
Exercise has tremendous power towards good sleep, but you have to do it earlier rather than later. The very best to time to exercise is in the morning. You don't need to be stimulated at bedtime. You need your body to be able to wind down in a natural way.
The right snack can really help you drift off to sleep. Some toast and honey can fill you up and sedate you at the same time. Throw in a drink of warm milk and you should be feeling mellow about half an hour after drinking it.
Now that you have finished this article, you are well versed in what to do to get a good night of sleep. With all this new information, the real key is to put it to use. Spread the word to others who deal with insomnia.

Without guys like MC Serch, hip hop and its history takes a vastly different turn. Not only did MC Serch make contributions, as an artist, with 3rd Bass, he also worked with other greats. Early in Nas' career, he had MC Serch in his corner.
Since the 1990s, MC Serch has faded from the spotlight, but has had various TV projects. Back in November, he had an awkward interview on Howard Stern's show, where he called in. Now, Dan Herman is calling out MC Serch, making serious accusations against him.
Dan Herman has become an advocate for The Circle Foundation and he is working with them to do a Mac Miller tribute album. Herman says he reached out to MC Serch, who only gave him the runaround, prompting Herman to do research on him, now accusing the man of only using his Kickstarter campaign to pay his rent. In addition to this, Dan Herman is taunting MC Serch on Twitter, leaking emails and text messages, in hopes of exposing Serch.

PBS under scrutiny again
Just days after public broadcasting came under Congressional scrutiny for the
way National Public Radio covered an issue involving conservative Christian
groups, PBS is back in the sights of Republicans.
Last week, The Washington Post reported that PBS plans to add an
HIV-positive character to the cast of the Muppets on its South African version of
Sesame Street, and that it may do the same in the United States.
While Republican members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee agreed
that perhaps South Africans should see more HIV-positive characters on their TV
programs, they aren't sure if the same is true for the children aged two through four who
watch Sesame Street in the United States.
"While it is important to teach children in an age-appropriate manner about
compassion for those who contract certain diseases, we would like to inquire as
to whether there is other PBS programming, aimed at an older age group, which
may be more suitable for such sensitive messages," wrote Rep. Billy Tauzin
(R-La.), chairman of the full committee; Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.), chairman of
the Internet and Telecommunications Subcommittee; Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.),
chairman of the Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection Subcommittee; Rep. Joe
Barton (R-Texas), chairman of the Energy and Air Quality Subcommittee; and Reps.
Richard Burr (R-N.C.) and Chip Pickering (R-Miss.).
The Congressmen submitted a list of relevant questions to PBS president Pat
Mitchell and asked for a response no later than Friday.

Real Estate Blog
Friday, May 06 2011
In March of '07, in "The Climate Has Changed," I discussed the challenging real estate market that had recently emerged. I explained that market changes, like climate changes, are cyclical. Now, four years later, I'm here to tell you that the climate is changing again—for the better.
The first quarter of this year has given us new hope. To recap, there is a definite sense of momentum in our local market. That momentum is being fueled by some pretty powerful forces: Mortgage rates remain remarkably low, excess inventory is gradually being absorbed, and unemployment on
Locally, our stats have been improving. Home affordability has continued to trend up, putting more homes in reach of more families. (See the graph below.) The number of contracted sales has been encouraging, considering the fact that there is no federal tax credit stimulating sales this year. In addition, consider these factors:
· Pent-Up Demand: As Dorothy Aschkar, President of the Multiple Listing Service of Long Island wrote in the April issue of Realtor magazine, "Coming off one of the worst winters we have had in decades, I believe there is a pent-up demand of buyers, who are finally digging themselves out of their driveways and are beginning to search for a new home."
I agree with Ms. Aschkar. This pent-up demand explains the increased level of activity in general, and the higher level of attendance at open houses. All this bodes well for future sales.
· Shifts in Attitude: Sellers are being more realistic about listing prices and price adjustments, and in turn, buyers are being more realistic about what to expect in concessions and price negotiations. The result is that buyers and sellers are no longer so far apart, which makes more sales more likely.
Nationally, several recent reports have raised some eyebrows:
· New-home sales increased by 11% in March.
· Home construction went up by 7.2% in March as compared to February. Not only does this help the real estate market, but it also bolsters the broader economy by creating jobs and generating tax dollars.
· Building permits went up by 11.2 % in March, a strong indication of higher future construction levels.
· Existing home sales were up in March by 3.7%, although it was primarily investors behind this increase.
On the other hand, the latest Case-Shiller Home Price Index report showed a 3.3% drop in prices nationwide in February, compared with a year earlier. Only 1 of the 20 cities covered by the Index showed a year-over-year price increase. In addition, homebuilder sentiment was down in April, due largely to concerns about foreclosure levels and home prices. So nationally speaking, the news remains mixed.
A Welcome New Slant
A very interesting article recently appeared at CNNMoney.com ("Real Estate: It's time to buy again," by Shawn Tully, Senior Editor at Large, Fortune magazine, Feb. 28, 2011). Its intro stated:
"Forget stocks. Don't bet on gold. After four years of plunging home prices, the most attractive asset class in
The article discussed many fundamental factors influencing the market, such as home affordability and home prices, and went on to say "So let's state it simply and forcibly: Housing is back."
Looking Forward: What's on the Horizon?
The local market should continue to improve over the next few months. The fundamentals seem to be in place. Also, this may be one of those times when Long Island benefits from a very unique factor: being right next door to
My gut instinct tells me that our market is well on its way to stabilizing. Once that happens, we can begin to work our way up. Remember, it's all cyclical. Want to know your home's current value? Call Michael: 631-941-4300 or email@example.com.
As always, I am committed to keeping you abreast of market conditions. As a nationally recognized real estate expert with decades of professional experience, I'll continue to provide updated information. For additional data, visit www.Ardolino.com, where you'll also find my blog.

Prince Harry makes a personal donation to #Filltheseats drive to help Brazilian children watch the Rio Paralympic Games
The prince donated undisclosed sum to a crowdfunder aiming to fill the stands at the Paralympics with 10,000 local children
PRINCE Harry has made a personal donation to a crowdfunding campaign aimed at getting Brazilian kids in the stands for the Paralympics.
The 31-year-old gave an undisclosed sum to the online #Filltheseats drive which is raising money to enable 10,000 children to see the Rio Games live.
Rock band Coldplay are among those supporting the global initiative, which was started by former London 2012 marketing director Greg Nugent.
The campaign initially aimed to raise $11,000 to help 500 kids — but after generating about £15,000 in one week, Paralympic bosses called for it stay open.
Former soldier Harry founded the Invictus Games, a Paralympic-style contest for injured service personnel, in 2014.
Harry sent a good luck message on Monday to the 11 Invictus Games competitors taking part, telling them the ''fight to the finish line won't be easy'' but that he was proud of them and they should make sure they have fun.

Organisers admitted as the Olympics ended last month only 12 per cent of the 2.5million Paralympic tickets had been sold but sales have picked up in the last two weeks.

Industrial scenes and white balance #photography
The light changes all the time and we can set the white balance on a DSLR to suit the light and we can also choose scenes that suit the light. It was a grey light on Sunday because it was quite cloudy and I chose industrial scenes to photograph.
Industrial Black Country
Industrial Revolution
The canals of the Black Country were cut through the landscape in the 18th century to carry coal and steel. This was the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. When Britain was great and had an empire that stretched across the globe. It was a pleasant time for the rich in their mansions but a terrible time for the poor who were exploited and deprived.

Untitled (No. 338)
Song: I Found a Whistle by MGMT
Tonight I was going to tell you about how I sometimes wonder whether I or this blog would be more interesting if I were willing to debate parenting styles and philosophies. There's always some sort of drama in the mommyblogosphere — it could be about formula, circumcision, working, drinking, having one kid or having 7 kids, or some asshole mother of Chinese descent who treats her kids in a way that kind of makes me want to cry. The thing is, try as I sometimes halfheartedly might, I just don't give a shit. I mean, I give a shit that some kids have a mom who thinks it's cool to yap about how she called one of them "garbage" once, but really, that's not my battle to fight, and it ends up being a battle that's not even very interesting.
In general, I don't enjoy blogs where the authors go on and on about this big issue or that big issue. I like blogs that are written by someone with whom I'd like to be friends, blogs that give me a little piece of someone's life, so it feels like I'm there with her, trying on spindly shoes and a belt as a necklace or walking through her quirky neighborhood to an exciting mode of public transportation that might smell faintly of pee. If that's the kind of blog I like to read, I figure that's the kind of blog should write, and that's the kind of blog I'd most enjoy writing.
Tonight, Soren was getting a little antsy and Ben gave him some goofy star-shaped sunglasses we got in a birthday-party gift bag. As soon as Soren started walking around with them and we were worried he'd poke out an eye, Ben traded the sunglasses for a plastic whistle from the same gift bag. This whistle was just about the most exciting thing the world has ever known. First, it functioned as a rattle, which, even though of course Soren is too old and sophisticated for plain old ordinary rattles, was kind of fun for a minute. Then, I blew the whistle so it made its whistle noise, and seriously, that was just so cool you can't even believe it. It was like there was this thing, and it made a noise! Then Soren took the whistle, gave it back to me, waited for it to make noise, took it back, gave it back, noise, take, back, noise, etc., etc. Then he tried to put it in my mouth for me when I wasn't doing it fast enough. Then I tried to show him how to put it in his mouth and that was all, oooh, hey, something in my mouth, that's cool, and then he gave it back to me. Then he'd put it in his mouth and I'd kind of blow air in his face (like, this is what you're supposed to do with the whistle, see), which is probably rude but he thought it was hilarious. He spent the next 10 minutes walking around the house with the whistle, sometimes making silly noises, as if the silly noise would leave his mouth and make the whistle do whistle things.
For his bedtime story, Soren picked out Romeo Le Chaton, which is in French. It was Ben's night (we alternate) and he doesn't read or speak French (neither do I), so he made up the story. That's a cool thing about babies — they don't know you don't read French and are making up the story.

'Fairy Garden' Delights
In Cooperstown Collection
By LIBBY CUDMORE • Special to ALLOTSEGO.com
COOPERSTOWN – If you drive past Bunny and Lewis Hamilton's historic home on the corner of Main and River streets, you might just feel a little magic.
"We had built a fairy garden for my own mother a few years back," said Deb Ackerman. "She loved it, and we wanted to do something special for Bunny."
Bunny, a past president of Cooperstown Lake & Valley Garden Club and a local benefactress generally – The Fenimore Art Museum's lakeside amphitheater is named in her honor – was a dedicated gardener for years.
As she got older, she wasn't able to do her own gardening, so she brought in Ackerman and her sister Susan to help.
"We could never figure out what to do with the wishing well," said Deb. "Because there wasn't good access to water, anything we planted in there died very quickly."
The solution was to turn it into a "fairy garden," complete with moss and statuary. The fairy garden was a hit, especially with Bunny's great-grandchildren. She would usually take great care of it with tools like the best leaf blowers (Thebestleafblowers.com for more information) so the great-grandchildren wouldn't lose the fairies in the autumn leaves.
This year, mobility issues prevented Mrs. Hamilton from getting down the steps to the garden, so the sisters moved the garden to where she could enjoy it.
"I love her dearly and wanted her to be included in the garden again," Deb said. "She loved her dollhouse, so I knew she'd love a fairy garden."
The garden is now wheelchair accessible from the Hamiltons' patio, just a few feet from her door.
Bunny and Susan planned the layout while Deb shopped for accessories and statuary to put in the garden. "We wanted to do a few distinct sections," she said.
The first, closest to the house, is a small house and patio for the fairies to reside. "I wanted to find a house that looked like hers!" she said. "I didn't, but I found a cute one that's sort of similar and a few fairies."
There is also a unicorn section, complete with tiny unicorns and fairies, and a little farm stocked with sheep, cows and ducks. "I just keep finding animals and adding to it," said Deb. "She enjoys that immensely."
Rivers of polished stones wind through sections, and wrought-iron fencing sections them each off individually. They also added lights to make the garden magical even after dusk.
But it isn't a garden without plants. "For the other garden, we had brought in lots of annuals and perennials, lots of color," she said. "We had to go with stuff that doesn't take a lot of water."
Some of those flowers, planted earlier this summer, were moved from the lower garden for texture and color, and Deb gathered moss from the woods.
As fall approaches, Deb and Susan are beginning to think about what else they want to do with the garden before the season ends. "We're thinking about putting together an autumn version of the garden," she said. "Maybe a little red wagon, filled with pumpkins, hay bales and little trees."

The Weekend So Far...
I'm on track with my food, and my fitness. My outfits are all good to go for the Arnold, and I've begun my packing :-) I went ahead and did my grocery shopping today, to free up some time tomorrow. I'll prep the food, do my usual cooking and such, then focus on packing. I'm also prepping meals for the family for while I'm gone. They've begged for tacos and Enchilasagna :-) Since I know that one of the nights I'm gone they're heading out to a pizza joint, I'll just be glad that they want some clean dinners, too, lol.
So tomorrow... I'll begin with coffee (it's required in order for my eyes to open), then head over to do my cardio for the day. Once complete, I'll do my food prep, then dive into my Arnold prep :-) I'm so excited!
Oh, and somewhere in there, I'll get my laundry done, too :-)
I'm so EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woooohooooo!!!!

Thinking Of Protecting Your Home With Gutter Guards? Choose Wisely!
Here at Smart Solutions, like you, we're all about finding ways to protect your home against animals, the elements, and the damage each can cause. And of course, gutter guards can help. But did you know that some gutter guards can actually work against your efforts?
Many gutter guard systems attach to the top of the gutter, but tuck up underneath the shingles as well. This causes the shingles to jack up, which creates a space between the gutter and the roof. Systems that go up underneath of the shingles like this allow animals to get past the gutter system, and also affect the way water flows down the roof and into the gutters. As a result, you could be creating water problems and animal problems for yourself, when you think you're doing something good for your home.
The reality is, you're not supposed to have anything sitting underneath your shingles. So does that mean you simply can't enjoy the benefits of gutter guards? Of course not. You just have to find the right system.
Our Gutter Guard Systems Won't Affect The Way Water Runs Off Your Roof
Here at Smart Solutions, we are certified installers of weather armor and armor guard gutter guards that attach to the top of the gutter, not underneath of the shingle. These systems actually clip to the top of the gutter, encapsulating the whole gutter, without affecting the shingles or the way water runs off of the roof in any way. Finally, protection that doesn't create more problems for you!
Our Gutter Guard Systems Animal-Proof Gutters
Another benefit of these systems is that, because they encapsulate the entire gutter without creating space between the shingle and the gutter, they actually animal-proof the entire gutter system. With other systems, animals can lift the shingles and try to work on the gutter guard, bit by bit. But with these gutter guards, animals can't get into the gutter, period.
Shopping For Gutter Guards? Call Smart Solutions & Get The Very Best
Are you shopping for a gutter guard system to protect your gutters and home? Give us a call at 678-506-0840 or reach out to us here through our website with any questions you have. Not sure which product is best for you? We can evaluate your home, property, and concerns, and make the perfect recommendation. Just ask! And with Smart Solutions, you can expect installation to be done right! Give us a call today — we're here to help.
If you are having indoor issues such as bed bugs, we can also help! Smart Solutions Wildlife Removal has the services to keep your home your own.

Dondoli e Pocci
Frinfri, a gentle name that brings to mind summer nights: this is the image that inspired the new line of coffee tables by Bonaldo.
The geometric design of the frame makes them light-weight, while a game of balances between sharp corners and rounded angles supports a removable tray. The tray can be made of metal in the same colour of the base or, to create a contrast between the finishes, it can be embellished with a ceramic top. Frinfri coffee tables are available in three different heights.

Ian Somerhalder & Nikki Reed: She Surprises Him Before Directing 'TVD'
This is too sweet — literally! Nikki wished her fiance Ian good luck on his 'TVD' directorial debut by whipping up a sweet surprise in the form of an 'I love you' cake. Click to see the endearing message he wrote!
It's a big day for Ian Somerhalder on Jan. 22. The handsome actor will be directing an episode of The Vampire Diaries, marking his directorial debut. To show support, Ian's fiance Nikki Reed baked him a delicious looking cake, complete with strawberry hearts.
Nikki Reed & Ian Somerhalder Relationship: His Surprise Before Directing 'TVD'
This really couldn't get any cuter! Nikki, 26, made Ian, 36, a cake with the words "Good Luck I ❤ U" spelled out in chocolate chips. But wait, it gets sweeter. On the cake, Nikki made hearts out of strawberries and placed them on top of what appears to be a vanilla cake. (Does anyone else wish they were there to eat it?)
Ian was clearly not expecting to come home to such a surprise, as he took to his Instagram to share a heartfelt message about Nikki and his excitement to be a director. He wrote:
The best thing to come home to! Wow, thank you you amazing @iamnikkireed -it's true. I start DIRECTING episode 616 of The Vampire Diaries tomorrow!!! I definitely need all the luck I can get! Send me great vibes tomorrow everyone… Also, THANK YOU to all that made this happen: Warner Brothers, The CW,our producers all of you-thank you.Thank you also to the most amazing group of artisans that is the CREW of The Vampire Diaries-you are the UNSUNG HEROES of what people see on their screens! You are my brothers, my sisters-my family. I Love you all. Wow. I'm a lucky lucky boy.
Love Ian&Damon S
Ian also expressed his excitement over being a director on Jan. 13 when he posted a pic of himself next to his director office, and wrote a thankful message to fans. We can't wait to see Ian's TVD episode!
Nikki Reed & Ian Somerhalder Engaged — Shocking Way They'll Announce The News
Nikki and Ian haven't exactly confirmed reports they're engaged, but that's because they're in no rush to announce the news! They're too busy flaunting their love for each other every moment they get.
"Nikki and Ian are in no rush to announce their engagement. They might even get married before they make their engagement official," a source told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
We wouldn't be surprised if they tied the knot sooner rather than later, since they're pretty much inseparable and have had marriage on their minds for a while.
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Do you think Nikki's cake surprise was thoughtful? When will Ian and Nikki get married? Tell us your thoughts below!

Wave your wand and add some magic to your next kid's party with these playful unicorn cupcakes. They're also gluten and egg-free so no-one need miss out.
Featured in Baking recipes, Egg free recipes
- 11/3 cups buckwheat flour
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup caster sugar
- 60g dark chocolate, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup light-flavoured extra virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Pure icing sugar, for dusting
- 300g white ready-to-roll icing
- Gluten-free gold edible glitter, to decorate
- 8 cups assorted gluten and egg-free lollies, to serve
- 250g unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cups gluten-free icing sugar mixture
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Pink, yellow, green and blue food colouring gel
Step 1Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan-forced. Line a 12-hole, 1/3-cup-capacity muffin pan with paper cases.
Step 2Sift flour and cocoa into a large bowl. Add sugar and chocolate. Stir to combine. Make a well. Add oil and vanilla to well (do not stir). Place milk in a large jug. Add bicarbonate of soda and vinegar. Lightly whisk with a fork until frothy. Add to well. Stir until mixture is smooth and combined. Divide mixture among prepared pan holes. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until cakes spring back when lightly pressed. Stand in pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 3Meanwhile, line a baking tray with baking paper. Lightly dust a work surface with pure icing sugar. Knead white icing until smooth. Using 10g of icing at a time, roll into 8 x 20cm logs. Twist 2 logs together and cut into 3 x 5cm lengths. Shape 1 short end of each twist into a point to form horns. Place on prepared tray. Repeat with remaining logs. Roll 24 pea-sized balls from remaining white icing. Using picture as a guide, flatten into ear shapes (about 1.2cm x 2cm). Place on prepared tray. Stand horns and ears for 2 hours or until firm.
Step 4Make Buttercream: Using an electric mixer, beat butter for 5 minutes or until pale and fluffy. Gradually add icing sugar mixture, beating constantly until combined. Beat in milk. Divide icing into 4 portions. Using food colouring, tint one portion pink, one portion yellow, one portion green and one portion blue. Spoon each colour into separate snap-lock bags. Snip-off 1.5cm from 1 corner of each bag.
Step 5Place a 30cm long piece of plastic wrap on a at work surface. Pipe a strip of each icing, side by side, lengthways along the centre of plastic wrap. Starting from 1 long side, gently roll up plastic wrap to enclose icing. Trim one end of plastic wrap to expose icing. Place plastic wrap, cut-end first, into a large piping bag fitted with a 1.5cm-fluted nozzle. Using the picture as a guide, pipe icing onto cakes, refilling piping bag with more icing as needed.
Step 6Using a small dry paint brush, lightly brush horns and ears with glitter. Using the picture as a guide, push 1 horn and 2 ears into the top of each cupcake. Sprinkle cupcakes with a little extra glitter. Divide lollies evenly among plastic cups. Top with cupcakes. Serve.
