What Is the Best Way to Finance a HUD Home?
FHA financing is the best way to finance a HUD Home for most buyers.
FHA has certain advantages over conventional financing:
HUD Homes offered with FHA financing offer special incentives to buyers. HUD Homes eligible for FHA 203(b) financing have reduced closing costs because there is NO APPRAISAL fee. Lenders are required to use the appraisal that HUD has on file if the appraisal is less than 150 days old. (If you sell a HUD Home near the end of the 150-day window, you can make a written request to HUD to extend appraisal validity 30 days, to 180 days. That request must be in writing two weeks before the 150 day appraisal expiration date.)
Keep in mind an important fact about FHA financing for HUD Homes:
FHA will only finance a maximum loan amount that corresponds to HUD's asking price. If a buyer is inclined to "bid up" a property and finance that property with FHA financing, he will have to make up the difference between the asking price and the bid amount with additional down payment monies.
For instance: A buyer expects that there will be competing bids for a house at 123 Main Street. HUD's list price is $85,000. The buyer is confident that the real value of the property is closer to $100,000. He bids $90,000. His down payment will increase from 3.5% of $85,000 ($2,975 down payment) to that amount PLUS an additional $5,000 ($6,912 down payment).
I know that I mentioned this in my last blog, but here is a good primer on searching for a loan for your new home. Click here for the video.

I'm sitting on the plane right now heading to Chicago (a little post run vacation), surrounded by fellow Boston marathoners (I still can't believe I'm one of them!), trying to sum up this whole journey into words! All that comes to mind is WOW! No, it was not the race I expected time wise, but not every race is about time or setting a PR. Sometimes you learn things about yourself that are more important than a time on a clock. I learnt that I can put my competitive nature aside and run for the pure joy of running, celebrating the journey I took to get there and being so freakin' proud of myself!
Go time!
I started the race as planned with Devon and Megan, 2 of my running buddies from Vancouver. We ran the first 3-4 miles together until we lost each other in the crowds at the second water station. I think that's when I realized I was actually running a marathon and had 22+ miles to go! Up until that point I was just so excited to have made it to Boston that the actual running part hadn't really hit me. So I got into it and kept focused on seeing my family at half way. I knew they had a small window to see me before getting back on the train to catch the finish, which meant I had to run a 1:45ish first half. By 10 miles I was feeling the heat and was starting to feel the nausea creeping up on me and was finding it hard to take my fuel. I was pretty sure a PB or even another BQ wasn't in my future, so when I saw my husband at mile 14 I stopped and kissed him, hugged my sister in law and headed a few meters down and did the same with my parents. My mom was yelling at me, "Its okay, keep going!", but those hugs were way more important than the seconds they cost me!
After I saw them, I knew I could slow down and just take it all in! I stopped and walked (which I've never done in a marathon!) to eat a popsicle at mile 15 and grabbed a freezy from a little girl at mile 18. I think that's about the time when Devon and Megan ran up behind me and asked if I was okay. And I think my exact words were, "Oh yeah I'm good but I just decided F$*k it, I'm going to enjoy this!". So for the last 8 miles thats what we did! We gave out as many high-fives as we could (which was a lot because my left/high five arm is sore today😜), pumped up the crowd as we ran past, and smiled from ear to ear! We crossed the finish line with a time of 3:54, which is one of my slowest times to date, but I felt amazing and wouldn't have traded an ounce of enjoyment for minutes on that clock!
Mind over matter!
Looking back, although I knew I wanted to run a sub 3:30, I don't think I was mentally prepared to do it…physically yes, but mentally no. Yeah it was hot and that played a roll, and yes people say it's a tough course (which to be honest coming from a hilly city like Vancouver I didn't really notice); for me it was all down to my mental game which wasn't in a sub 3:30 place. At CIM when I BQ'd, my mind was so focused and I was willing to feel all the pain in the world to get it done…BQ or bust! Yesterday it wasn't! So over the last 24 hours as strangers and friends have been asking me how my race went I've been summing it up in one simple statement, "Fun points 1000+, time on the clock wah, wah, wah👎."
I'm not sure if I'll ever run The Boston Marathon again, but if that was it for me- one and done- dream achieved! Best race, best people, best moments, I will relish in this memory for a lifetime💙💛

Thanks so much for all the wonderful ideas you have forwarded in the forum concerning itchy skin. After starting this mare in question on stabilized Flax Seed we have seen a very positive improvement. At least 60% of the hair has grown back with just a little still remaining scabby. Also we are using Bye Bye Itch Creme we purchased from SmartPak which keeps her from biting her tummy. Thanks so much for sharing all your ideas and experience with your own horses as well.
Thanks SmartPak and thanks forum friends 🙂
Happy Riding !
Patty N.
Glad to hear that things are getting better!
It is never the horse's fault
My paint horse has always itched her face even to the point of getting a splinter in the eye. We suspected it could be lime disease or an allergy issue. The allergy test cost money so we decided to try a feed change first. She came off all grain and went to alfalfa cubes, Dynamite (which is a vitamin & mineral supplement-only feed 1-2oz/day), and Omega Horseshine (feed 2-4oz) for some fat. She has stopped itching and her back has loosened up. So she is moving faster through rehab training now. She is turned out 8 hr/day and gets 5 flakes of O & A (5-10% alfalfa) in a nibble net per evening. With your work out and showing schedule, you might have to replace the Omega Horseshine with Dynamite's HES product. Just contact Dynamite to investigate your options. They are a healthy alternative to the standard grain companies. If your horse is high strung, you might try T/A pellets instead of alfalfa.
Your horse may be allergic to oats, wheat, or corn like a quarter horse in my barn. He is 16-17 hands so he gets a muck bucket filled a 1/4 to 1/3 full of the same ration. The results should be seen in 60 days. Although it will take 120 days for his blood/body to completely change over.
I hope you find the cause instead of masking the effects so he can train and perform at his best.

MRI is short for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. It is a safe and painless way for your doctor to get a 3D image of internal organs, blood vessels, muscles, joints, and more without exposing you to harmful radiation.
The MRI machine creates images of the inside of your body by using a magnetic field and radio waves that are sent through your body. You will be placed in a coil appropriate for whatever body part is being imaged and that coil along with the computer will produce a picture of your anatomy. This is a painless and relatively quick experience.
No. You can keep to your regular everyday routine, including eating, drinking and taking any medications you need.
Yes. Because of the strong magnetic field, the MRI exam room prohibits any metal objects and certain medical devices. A more complete list can be found on our Restrictions page.
Yes, we do allow you to bring someone with you into the room as long as there are no contraindications for that individual as well (see Restrictions) . This person can talk to you during your scan.
Additionally, there is an intercom system that allows you to communicate with the technologist at any time throughout the scan should you need to.
Most exams last about 15 minutes. Some scans may require more time, but usually do not exceed one hour depending on the amount of scans being performed.
You can wear your own clothing into the scanner if it is free of all metal like sweat pants or elastic band items.
If you are wearing items with metal you will be provided with either a gown or scrub pants to change into prior to your exam.
We do prefer that you leave most valuables at home but you will be provided a locker for your belongings if you need one. The key to the locker is safe to go into the room with you during your exam.
Yes, we do have 500 pound weight limit. Most facilities only accommodate up to 350 pounds but with our bigger scanner the weight limit has been extended as well.
We're in network with most insurances. Contact us today for availability and requirements.
Cost will vary depending insurance plans allowable, the body part being scanned, use of contrast media, and other factors. Contact us for more information.

Can you believe we're at the front steps of the Star Wars Battlefront II official beta? I can't either, but EA and DICE are celebrating the fact with a new trailer to the game which should hype you in all the right ways, even teasing split-screen coop gameplay.
The new trailer teases everything you need to see in terms of space battles, beautiful Frostbite engine graphics, and so much more. If you're gaming on the PC, Xbox, or PlayStation then the beta is open to everyone through to Sunday. The official game launches on November 17, with pre-orders including the usual bonuses if you're into that thing - like the "Lightsaver Mastery" upgrade for Yoda if you pre-order by October 9.

SINGAPORE — The National University of Singapore (NUS) has launched a new research centre to better understand population and family issues in Singapore and Asia, as well as to bridge academic research with public policies.
Fertility and marriage, ageing and health, migration and integration are just some of the eight themes the Centre for Family and Population Research (CFPR) will focus on.
Established with an initial S$1.5 million funding from the university, the centre will carry out faculty-initiated projects on comparative studies across different Asian countries over the next three years. Some of the research areas include understanding and managing family stress in different life stages.
Speaking at the launch today, Minister in the Prime Minister's Office Grace Fu said: "Norms are changing and an Asian-oriented study into the changes will give useful inputs on policy solutions in an Asian context."
CFPR director Jean Yeung said the centre will develop an interdisciplinary understanding of trends, determinants, and consequences of family and population changes, particularly in Asia, and is aimed at bridging research and policies.
One area of immediate concern that Professor Yeung identified was the persistently low fertility rates and policies to address the problem, such as the Marriage and Parenthood Package.
"The financial incentive of this one-time baby bonus is not going to do it. It's going to have to be a much longer term commitment ... And the other part that we need to do more is really to promote more gender equality both at home and at work," she said.
Also held today was a conference on Singaporean families and its population dynamics.
In a study conducted by Dr Jason Tan and Dr Lana Khong, both from the Policy and Leadership Studies in the National Institute of Education, it was found that the wealth and preferences of parents are increasingly determining the education pathways for their children.
This is despite the fact that Singapore's education system has been rooted in meritocracy, which aims to provide equal educational opportunities.
"Not all parents can be parent volunteers ... not all parents have the social networks to help their children get on in life ..." said Dr Tan.
In two studies on vulnerable families, researchers called for the public system to step in with more support and to make changes to public policies.
One of the studies, by Nanyang Technological University sociologist Teo You Yenn, found that the conditions faced by those with low-income meant they were limited in the ways they can "perform the idealised family", such as how they fulfil their parenting roles.
Public policies then need to relook at existing conditions the low-income demographic face and address these inequalities, such as in the areas of housing and wages, to prevent them from feeling insecure, she said.

My ethereal 'LIGHTSCAPES' have emerged through challenging perceived rules and constraints within photography. A wonderful sense of release has enabled me to embrace the freedom of movement within - an experience of 'painting' with the camera rather than documenting a scene with emphasis on technical precision.
This single image capture was conceived on location resulting in a painterly illusion, often likened to a watercolour. My love for the natural environs is reflected in the appearance of semi translucent layers of motion, a sense of poetry without words, revealing hidden subtle colours and evoking a response of innermost feelings, rather than simply what the eye can see.
I do not set out to document the landscape, rather I wander, stumble, listen and pause, contemplating my own existence as I gradually immerse myself deeper and deeper. Forms, textures and patterns start to interplay with moments of fleeting light and through this experience an intimate dialogue develops.
DEEP WITHIN THE FLOWING TIDE - I hold dear this beautiful location where the waters of the lagoon surges forth to greet the ocean. Children delight in the shallow currents, the setting sun sculpts the crisp banks of sand and the low light flirts with the rippling tide. I feel mesmerised whilst being bathed in the glorious light.
A recent storm had laid bare the foreground rocks revealing their own artistry... perhaps a future series of images in the making!

Miana is an economically prosperous Vinci city-state nestled in the mountains near the eastern border of the Vinci lands. Giacomo assumes leadership after the death of his elder brother Petruzzo at the hands of the Doge of Venucci. Miana is the technological head of all Vinci city states, with Giacomo as their primary inventor and scientists Miana gains technological improvements to their forces before other Vinci states. (e.g. The Pirata and The Venucci do not possess any clockwork forces with the exception of clockwork spiders.)
(Spoilers Follow...)Edit
The Mianans eventually assemble a formidible alliance of Vinci parties disaffected with the Doge's heavy-handed grand strategy. Among these allies are the Pirata under Lenora, various groups of Condottieri, and Distruzio of the Wasteland.
The Doge later levels the city of Miana with a giant cannon sped from Venucci behind Giacomo's siege of the Doge's home city. While it is certain some citizens survived the horrific attack, many more perished. Under Lenora's government after Giacomo's sacrifice in Kahal, a rebuilt New Miana is slated to be the next capital city of the Vinci people.

I kissed him on his cheek today. It was abrupt and unexpected. He was talking to someone and was looking so cute. I just couldn't resist it! I gave him a peck on the cheek. He stood there, silent! For a moment he did not realize what had happened. He started fumbling. He was distracted. I enjoyed watching his reaction. But I was equally embarrassed at what I had done.
This was not the only unexpected thing that happened today. I was sitting in the canteen when RV came to me and said, "Listen, I want to talk to you. It is really urgent." Ugh! This is the most annoying line. I just get nervous when someone says this. I tried to look totally indifferent, "Yes, tell me. What is it?" "No, not here. I want to talk to you in private." This made me even more nervous. I tried to recall things. Had I done something wrong? What did I do? My mind started racing. He walked towards the classrooms and I followed him. He was looking for an empty classroom. Finally we settled in one of the rooms. The look on his face told me it was serious. He cleared his throat as if he had a lot to say, "I know you like me. I like you too, you know that right? But right now I am not ready for a relationship. I am just 18 and I have a lot to do. I have different priorities.I want to achieve something first. And I can't waste time on a relationship. There are so many boys in our college. I'll find a boyfriend for you. You don't have to stay with me. And I don't want you to expect anything from me." I was hurt. I was hurt not because he did not want to be in a relationship with me, but because he did not have faith in me. How could he think that I just wanted a boyfriend? How could he think that I would leave him if he couldn't be in a relationship with me. "I'll be with you. I don't care about the relationship thing. You are there with me, that is more than enough. But you have to have faith in me first. I won't go away just because you have other priorities." I almost yelled. He seemed to be satisfied with the answer. He did not say anything else. He promised to meet me after classes and went away...And we did meet...everything was normal, like nothing ever happened. I have no idea what am I trying to do with my life. But one thing is clear in my mind. I am not going to expect anything...Expectation is the cause of all trouble!

For years scientists, medical experts and researchers have understood that lead and other kinds of toxins when exposed to the atmosphere or a water supply are hazardous to human health. In fact, with the proliferation of technologies and the growth in manufacturing, the human exposure to toxins and chemicals has significantly increased in the last hundred years, resulting in some significant health risks. Lead has immense negative effects on the operation of different systems inside the human body. Higher levels of exposure it could be fatal and in lower levels it can slowly poison your body, leading to significant long-term health concerns.
Lead can be found in several common household products. Lead is prevalent in antique jewelry, crystal, plastic toys, pottery and ceramic glazes. It has also contaminated water supplies, especially where there's industrial waste pollution from insecticides or pesticides. Exposure to lead in the atmosphere is extremely problematic as once this metal stored inside the body it can result in extreme health conditions.
Workers who are exposed to lead in the work place can develop an assortment of illness, such as gastrointestinal effects, neurological effects, anemia and kidney aliments. As a result, employers are required to safeguard employees from extreme lead exposure under OSHA lead standard covering shipyards, construction and general industry. The lead standard ascertains an acceptable exposure limitation of 50 ug/m3 of lead for eight working hours for all workers. Workers can take action against their employer if the above mentioned rules are broken. As such, many industries and product developers are looking for lead replacement materials and parts so that they can avoid any lead related health hazards to their workers and the significant regulatory costs and concerns that accompany any use of lead in the workforce.
Take advantage of Ecomass's unique lead replacement compounds:
Introduced in 1999, Ecomass Technologies has become the industry leader in producing high density lead replacement plastics. Ecomass Compounds are completely non-hazardous and are utilized as superior lead replacement materials. Ecomass products are eco-friendly, containing absolutely no environment pollution whatsoever. Furthermore, these thermoplastic composites accomplish the density of lead, thus providing near identical physical properties without any deadly concerns.
Ecomass's injection moldable high gravity compounds are a great lead substitute material. Most importantly these high density engineered thermoplastics can be custom formulated and developed to meet the density and physical property requirements of your specific application needs.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) April 28, 2009 — Snapixel (www.snapixel.com), a new photography site that combines elements of the photo sharing site Flickr and the popular stock photography site Istockphoto, announces Openstock(TM), an innovative system that provides photographers with an easy-to-market solution to sell photos. "The Snapixel model extends selling power to all levels of photographers. While not every image belongs in a stock photography marketplace, our ultimate goal is to widen the creative spectrum of traditional stock photography, without decreasing the value." said Ivan Wong, COO and Co-founder of Snapixel. In the past, the price-point of semi-professional digital photography equipment and the high level of technical knowledge posed a barrier-of-entry. Now with the emergence of affordable DSLR cameras by electronic manufacturers such as Canon, Nikon, Sony and others, a larger pool of talent are producing higher quality photos. Everyday, people throughout the world post creative photography on the web with no intention of selling their work. Whether it be the complex and lengthy application process posed by popular stock photography sites or a hesitation to acknowledge their work as commercially viable, these talented individuals produce diverse and engaging photography. "We are creating an opportunity for the next generation of photographers and photo-enthusiasts, by offering reliable tools, secure storage and a platform that offers incremental income in a competitive market." said Adam Oliver, CEO of Snapixel. Instant Scalability and Secure Storage Built using the powerful scalability of Amazon Web Services(TM) cloud-computing platform, people can quickly and securely upload and organize their photos. Photos for sale can be distributed with a standard and extended license, or Creative Common licensing can be applied to images that are not-for-sale. Photos can be easily purchased with Snapixel credits, and prices will vary depending on the license type and size of an image. Snapixel offers 1GB of free storage or a premium package for unlimited storage. Focused on community and fostering a positive environment, Snapixel is where photographers can connect with others to share comments, tips and critiques by starting or joining forums and groups. About Snapixel Based in San Francisco, Snapixel is a Flixya Entertainment LLC company that operates a network of media-related sites which include Imagebam, a global top 300 website hosting over 40 million images and Flixya, a social networking site that pushes 100% revenue to it's members via the Google Adsense API.

This series sample will convert the Tour of heroes sample application from angular.io.
Getting things up and running
Starting from part 1, getting the first part of the tutorial to work was mainly copy and paste job from Hero editor.
I also updated package.json to use latests versions of libs (Angular2 version 2.0.0-beta.8), but ran into a typescript compilation issue :
### Fast Compile >>src/ts/app.component.ts
### Fast Compile >>src/ts/boot.ts
Using tsc v1.7.3
GitHub/Samples.Angular2/Samples.Front/node_modules/angular2/platform/browser.d.ts(77,90): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'Promise'.
GitHub/Samples.Angular2/Samples.Front/node_modules/angular2/src/core/application_ref.d.ts(83,60): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'Promise'.
GitHub/Samples.Angular2/Samples.Front/node_modules/angular2/src/core/application_ref.d.ts(83,146): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'Promise'.
... and so on ...
This was easily fixed, thanks to http://stackoverflow.com/a/35514492/971, just edit boot.ts to reference the typings !
// from : http://stackoverflow.com/a/35514492/971
/// <reference path="../../node_modules/angular2/typings/browser.d.ts" />
import {bootstrap} from 'angular2/platform/browser';
import {AppComponent} from './app.component';
And everything is now running fine !
Adding the next parts
Adding the Master/details and Multiple components was also a quick copy/paste story.
As I didn't lile having the css and html hardcoded into the components, I took the opportunity to move them to their own files :
selector: 'my-app',
moduleId: module.id,
templateUrl: 'app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['app.component.css'],
directives: [HeroDetailComponent]
Here you can see a moduleId property. This one is used to not have to hardcode the 'app' (module name) in the template and style urls. However, due to an issue with relativeUrl and SystemJS I had to create a shim.d.ts file and reference it in main.ts :
// from : https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/6053
declare var module: any;
Finally, I split the hero module into its own directory, as I like having things neatly organised.
The source repository for this article is on Github.

Words by hubbul
Companies all across Sweden have decided to slash the traditional working day by two hours. It's out with the traditional 8 hour slog, and in with the leaner, more efficient, extra productive 6 hour working day, where a business and any of it's employees - whether permanent and temporary -win.
The theory behind it seems to make sense too. Workers will pack more into a 6 hour day than they would in an 8 hour day - because the traditional 9-5 (allowing for the obligatory 1 hour lunch break) doesn't maximise productivity. No surprises there then.
"I think the 8-hour work day is not as effective as one would think," explained Linus Feldt, CEO of app developer Filimundus, one of Sweden's early adopters of the 6 hour working day.
"To stay focused on a specific work task for 8 hours is a huge challenge. In order to cope, we mix in things and pause to make the work day more endurable."
In other words, people are easily distracted, and need to break up a long working day. Anyone who's ever been in permanent employment at one time or another will relate. Even the most hard-working employee will admit to surfing the net looking for last minute holidays and staring into space as the clock agonisingly ambles it's way to 5pm and home time.
But it's not just about maximising productivity, or to be blunt, making more money either. It's a two way street and the worklife balance of employees really matters. As Linus explains, the people who work for these companies benefit just as much as their employers.
"We are finding it hard to manage our private life outside of work We want to spend more time with our families, we want to learn new things or exercise more. I wanted to see if there could be a way to mix these things."
Sweden's quest for improving it's permanent workforce's worklife balance is admirable - typically Swedish you could say. But let's face it, it's unsurprising. We're talking about the world capital of innovation. This country is strides ahead of the competition when it comes to big thinking, brave business ideas and pushing on with radical change.
Permanent employees are all too often are suffocated by rigid, tired out corporate structure, and dictated when, where and how they should work. You can understand why so many people are unsatisfied by the lack of control they have over their own careers - not to mention the reasons more than 120,000 people in the UK every year opt out of climbing the slippery career ladder, and instead, dive into self-employment.
Sweden's 6 hour working day reflects that more freedom and flexibility is being handed to employees, but to truly enjoy a better worklife balance, the trick is to go freelance - there's no doubt about it.
Hats off to Sweden for the far-sighted, forward thinking - it should be applauded, but at the same time noted that real freedom, and the opportunity to strike your own, unadministered worklife balance arrives the moment you start working for yourself - irrespective of whether you choose to work a 6, 7, 8 or even 12 hour working day.

I'm going to start out this blog with an entry not from Colorado, just because I really like how my pictures turned out. I went on a college visit to Chicago, Illinois and took these pictures in the suburb of Evanston.
But maybe I should start out with a little about what this site is. All the pictures featured here are taken with a film camera from the 1950s; I guess I'm a bit of a purist in that way. This camera was my grandpa's. He bought it in Korea while stationed there in the Korean War, and used it for many years before passing it on to me. It's a lot of fun to shoot with, and the photos have a genuine film look.
From here on out, we'll be featuring photos and articles from around the state of Colorado - things to do, see, and take pictures of. We try to keep churning out articles, so make sure you come back for the latest!

Update on friend's surgery
16 hours ago
How did you get your Catt's to bloom? We purchased some at HD or Walmart about two years ago or so and are in coconut's. They are doing great, roots going all over the place, but no blooms. Every other orchid spikes, but not those. :(
Hi Misti,I hate to say this but we really don't do anything to them. I fertilize them once in awhile when I think of it. I give total credit to their location. They are under an oak tree and receive filtered sunlight. We just moved all of our orchids to this location and many that have not bloomed in years bloomed this year.

AMF Steel Buildings Proudly Announces New Eco-Friendly Steel Building Designs for Homeowners
Castle Rock, CO – November 20, 2017 – AMF Steel Buildings, a nationwide metal building supplier, celebrates working with steel building manufacturers to produce Eco-Friendly steel building designs to counter rising electric and utility costs for homeowners.
Mitch Wirth, person who owns AMF Steel Buildings stated, "People use steel buildings every day to shelter their animals, equipment, employees, and themselves. We just wanted to find a method for individuals to savor the comforts of your new steel building, without worrying about increasing costs of heating, cooling, and lighting."
So, why is an Eco-Friendly steel building design so excellent? It's all about the design! AMF Steel Buildings found out that with the addition of skylights or wall panels with a steel building, all-natural sunlight would cut back the amount of electrical lighting needed. This easy addition for an example, can illuminate an interior riding arena for horseback riders or reduce electric use within a commercial business or store setting. Furthermore, by using high rated metal building insulation, this will help decrease the loss in heat or cool air from within a steel framed structure. Again, by continuing to keep the right temperature in the building, this may decrease the amount of utilities required to operate a cooling as well as heating source.
The brand new technologies that are transforming steel buildings are not new in any way. It's simply planning a Steel Buildings For Sale beforehand to benefit from the equipment that are already being used.
At AMF Steel Buildings, we begin using these exact design techniques for pole barns, garages, indoor riding arenas, residential steel buildings, as well as a commercial building. Using the rising costs of utilities, everyone is wanting to cut costs without decreasing the quality of craftsmanship or building materials. We have been proud to be able to offer these high-quality buildings at affordable prices. Additionally we ship nationwide and possess steel building contractors ready to install your metal building kit which you invest in us.
Lastly, once you call our steel building experts at 1-800-204-7199 make sure you inquire about our steel building financing options if you want financing for your new steel building project. Develop you'll visit our website and obtain design ideas from my always growing customer picture gallery where we highlight the prefab steel buildings which our customers have purchased from, then installed in their home or job site.

WASHINGTON — In the wake of the destruction of Iran Air Flight 655, the situation in the Persian Gulf seems likely to deteriorate in the coming weeks and months. What, if anything, can the United States do to prevent such a development and advance its own interests in this region? Does U.S. policy sometimes provoke the very violence and instability it is supposed to deter? Moreover, given America's earlier failures in the Middle East, even if a sensible policy is promulgated, is the U.S. government capable of implementing it in a coherent, disciplined fashion?
The United States has vital interests in the gulf that must be protected and advanced: access to oil supplies; the independence and territorial integrity of the gulf states; an end to the Iran-Iraq War without victor or vanquished, and preventing expansion of Soviet influence.
Since the fall of the shah, Washington has pursued these interests through a variety of diplomatic, military and economic means. Regardless of the apparent logic of each policy initiative at the time, none has met the central challenge to U.S. interests: the virulent anti-Americanism of the leaders of the Iranian Revolution.
Iranian hostility toward the United States has been politically and culturally institutionalized in the first decade of the Islamic Republic's revolution. This hostility has been further reinforced by America's gulf policy over the past year, culminating with the tragic deaths of 290 people aboard Iran Air Flight 655. Though the defensive action taken by the U.S. cruiser Vincennes was justified, the short-term result is a further escalation of tension between Washington and Tehran--which Iran's most radical leaders will exploit to strengthen their domestic positions and achieve one of the revolution's fundamental goals: eradication of U.S. influence in the gulf.

Looking for some opinions and advice - planning to train this coming summer for extended range diving, mixed gas profiles etc. and am thinking about rebreathers. Most of my diving is for shipwrecks and I'd like to visit some that are 200 - 240 feet deep (no real interest in going deeper). I have 10 plus years and around 300 dives logged, diving at the recreational limits on singles with a pony back up, as much winter diving as summer (winter are all shore dives/through the ice).
Which rebreather am I looking for?

So there lies the question: How do you show your grad appreciation??

On June 24, 2016, the people of Great Britain told their government they no longer want to be part of the European Union. Although the vote did not obligate the nation to immediately begin the exit process, it is widely expected that the United Kingdom will soon submit their notice to withdraw, as outlined by Article 50 of the Treaty on the European Union.
As a result, travelers are left with more questions than answers about how their next trip will be affected by the vote. While the good news is that no changes are immediately pending, the coming separation between the United Kingdom the European Union could create trouble in the future.
Will the British Referendum Vote create a travel nightmare for visitors to the United Kingdom? From a travel safety and security standpoint, the three biggest problems travelers could soon face include movement within the semi-border free Schengen Zone, entry into the United Kingdom, and international air service going into the United Kingdom.
The United Kingdom and the Schengen Zone: No Changes
The Schengen Agreement was originally signed on June 14, 1985, allowing for borderless movement in five countries of the European Economic Community. With the rise of the European Union, the number ultimately grew to 26 nations, including non-EU members Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland.
Although the United Kingdom and Ireland were members of the European Union, they were not parties to the Schengen Agreement. Therefore, the two island nations (which includes North Ireland as part of the United Kingdom) will continue to require separate entry visas from the rest of the European Union countries.
Moreover, the United Kingdom will still maintain separate visitor visa rules than their counterparts in continental Europe. While visitors from the United States can stay in the United Kingdom for up to six months at a time on a visa waiver, those who stay in Europe on a Schengen visa can only stay up to 90 days in a 180-day period.
Entry Requirements into the United Kingdom: No Immediate Changes
Much like entering a country or returning home from an international trip, visitors to the United Kingdom must prepare ahead of their trip and pass through two rounds of checks prior to arrival. First, common carriers (like airlines) send information about each passenger to the Border Force, followed by passing through regular customs checks.
Currently, there are two processes for travelers to enter the United Kingdom. Travelers from countries in the European Economic Area and Switzerland can use dedicated entry lanes and ePassport gates, using their passports or national identity cards. All others must use their passport books and the traditional lanes to clear customs, which can grow in length during peak arrival hours.
During the exit process, the potential exists for the European Union bypasses to be removed from major ports of entry into the United Kingdom. If this comes into place, more travelers may be required to pass through traditional customs, which would create even more delays for those attempting to enter the country.
While this has yet to be settled, there is an opportunity for frequent visitors to get ahead of the situation. Travelers who have visited the United Kingdom four times in the past 24 months or hold a UK visa can apply for the Registered Traveller program. Those who are approved for the program do not have to fill out an entry card upon arrival and can use the dedicated UK/EU entry lines. The Registered Traveller program is open to residents of nine countries, including the United States.
International air service to the United Kingdom: Potential Changes Coming
While visas and entry requirements may not change much over the next two years, one of the problems that may potentially face the new country is how to manage changing air traffic laws. Unlike the current ground-based travel infrastructure, airlines and freight carriers are governed by a specific set of laws set by both the United Kingdom and the European Union.
Over the next two years, British lawmakers will be tasked with setting new aviation policies and creating agreements with their counterparts in the United States and the European Union. While current British airlines benefit from the European Common Aviation Area (ECAA) agreement, there is no guarantee they would maintain that status after their exit. As a result, regulators may have three options: negotiate a way to stay within the ECAA, negotiate a bilateral agreement with the European Union, or forge new agreements to regulate air traffic entering and exiting the United Kingdom.
As a result, many processes that travelers currently take for granted may change over time. These regulations include transportation security and customs procedures. In addition, renegotiated agreements could result in increased airfare due to raised taxes and tariffs.
Although there are many things travelers do not know about the "Brexit" today, information is the only way to prepare for future changes. By being aware of these three situations as they develop, travelers can be ready for whatever may come as Europe continues to change and evolve.

Well, the walk on the beach together in six months isn't going to happen after all. We lost my brother Len on Monday following an illness that took him down with warp-speed. Basically six weeks, from "I'm not feeling so good" to a withered shadow.
"It's a blessing he didn't hang on and suffer for months," everyone comforts. And, of course, it's true. We honored him by letting him go when he was ready. But as it reaches the end, that knowledge doesn't make the reality any less harrowing.
This journey is one that everyone has booked, of course, even if the travel date and means of transport remain open-ended. While most of us silently harbor the irrational hope that the whole death thing doesn't really apply to us, no one has yet figured out a way around it. Even someone seemingly as immortal as Len.
I don't know about Len being "in a better place," as many well-meaning friends have assured me over the past few days. Not to rain on anyone's parade, but I'm kind of an evidence guy and have yet to wrap my brain around the spiritual hypotheticals of afterlife.

We love this! So simple and so tasty. I made some variations. 400 grams of chicken (cooked an extra 1.30mins on this step) - 3cms of ginger and half an onion to the first step (cooked for 30 seconds longer) - instead of adding boiling water and the chicken stock I just used liquid chicken stock and filled it to just under the full line (about 900mls of chicken stock). It was so good!
Excellent and easy. Thanks for sharing....

This was easy, swift and yummy. Admittedly I changed it up a wee bit. I omitted the garlic but added 1/2 an onion (brown) which I cooked at Varoma temp for 5 mins after it was chopped. I also doubled the chicken so added 30 secs to the original cook time. I then deleted 100mls of the water from the recipe for a thicker outcome. Really enjoyed this with a garnish of flat leaf parsley.

This soup was beautiful !!
This soup was beautiful !! The whole family loved it . I did as others suggested and doubled the recipe. I also put 1 onion halfed , a handful of black peppercorns and 1 tbsp of crushed ginger into the steaming basket and let those flavours infuse whilst The soup was cooking. I whisked up 2 egg whites only , with a little water and added them at the end rather than a the whole egg . Another tip if you need to make a big batch is don't add your chicken whilst the soup is cooking, this leaves more room in the jug which I had filled to the 2 lt mark . i had steamed and shredded a heap of chicken before starting the soup , I then just poured the soup into a large storage container covering all the chicken , made a huge hearty batch . Tasted better than our local chinese take away
super easy and delicious. I

Very delicious! I added a 1/4 of an onion with the garlic and sauteed it for an extra minute. I cooked the chicken for 7minutes in total then added an extra 5minutes when adding in the cornflour and egg.

MEDICAID REAUTHOURIZATION REVIEW - Tops MS 2018 LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES
Posted: 05-Feb-2018
February 5, 2018, Mississippi Public Broadcasting, Desare Frazier- Every three years or so, Mississippi legislators must review how the Medicaid program is operated. The state provides some 750,000 Mississippians with services. Republican Senator Brice Wiggins of Pascagoula chairs the Medicaid Committee. His bill, Senate Bill 2836, removes the current cap of 12 doctor visits per year and five prescriptions per month. Instead, the state division of Medicaid would collaborate with doctors on visits and prescriptions needed. "People would reach their limit and then they would end up in an emergency room so they could go get a prescription. Well this way they can be proactive and do that working with the managed care companies with the Mississippi Division of Medicaid," said Wiggins.

Bali. Gunung Kawi temple was constructed by King Marakatapangkaja and completed by King Child Wungsu. Surrounded by lush rice fields and green and hidden valley. Gunung Kawi is located in Tampak Siring an area closed to the palace.
Gunung Kawi temple standing next to the Pakrisan River, a tributary of the sacred from the mountains to the north. There are ten great niche with a carved stone temple or shrine, said to be the tombs of the kings and their consorts. Gunung Kawi is a tomb that has the best condition to eat fifteen meals that have been found in Bali. With a design strongly influenced by Indian culture, Hindu monument was made in the late 11 th century, similar to those found in Central Java and East Java. But anyway, which is found in Balinese temple is very unique, because the temple is carved in a mountain.
Need to take a little time to see the carving and try to catch the hidden meaning behind it. At the top of each carving is a large three-tiered roof, decorated with symbols of fertility linggam-yoni.
For the Hindu community in Bali there is confidence that the water, which flows over the temple was filled with pure nature. Because beliefs and a great location adjacent to the river, the complex is an essential source for holy water to be used in Hindu ceremonies in Bali. When you walk around, you'll see the old water pipes and pipes with pure flowing water. It's all safe to drink straight from the source.
The main Hindu temple is at the center of the complex, but behind you can see the Buddhist monastery. It was quiet and powerful spiritual energy makes Gunung Kawi is a very special place to visit. Gunung Kawi temple, carved in a mountain.

Just as the title suggests, this is a prequel to the Lucky Santangelo series. You do not have to have read the previous novels, but it does help to know all of the character backgrounds.
If you read this blog regularly, you know I am a huge fan of Jackie Collins. After all, she is the queen of trash! But I am sorry to say that his one did not do anything for me. Perhaps if I had not read the others, I might have enjoyed it more.
In Confessions of a Wild Child: Lucky: The Early Years, the widower Gino Santangelo has had it with his 15-year-old daughter, Lucky. She is constantly getting into trouble, and will not listen to anyone. Since Gino is a very busy man with his questionable businesses, he decides to ship her off to a very exclusive boarding school to try and tame her. Once there, Lucky meets Olympia, an equally rich and independent girl, and ends up getting a very different education than her father would have liked. Sex, drugs, parties, clubs, etc. is all that Lucky seems to care about. Even a misguided trip to the South of France cannot tame this wild child! Lucky has a mind of her own, and she will do what she wants no matter what.
But Gino has other plans...
Readalike: Chances by Jackie Collins, the first in the Lucky Santangelo series.

December 16
I've planned to stay home for the day in order to make things and read and write, but I feel like a "housewife". I feel unintelligent, lazy, frivolous, and obscure.
"Do I have nothing better to do than knit Hogwarts scarves, bake cookies, read A Brief History of Time and write poetry? How disgustingly female."
Let me spend fifteen minutes fixing up my hair and applying mascara, and I'll feel even worse.
Let me wash even one dish and I might just collapse into a puddle of daytime television. (Except that we don't own a TV, and I've never had any desire to watch even ten minutes of a soap opera.)
But I'm fighting it. I'm about to go off and put on makeup before washing a whole sink full of dishes. Because life goes on. Because Tim and I eat three times a day, and he washed up yesterday.
Because I'd rather spend hours working on homemade presents than extra hours at a minimum-wage job paying for store-bought presents.
Because a clean space is good for the body and soul.
Because ceremonies and holidays are significant for our species, and because pfeffernusse constitutes about half of "Christmas" in my memories.
Because I love to invent and create, because I love to be alone, because you must not feel guilty simply for being alive.
4 comments:
This is encouraging.ReplyDelete
Whenever you write about your and Tim's marriage, it fills me with joy. It is just so lovely.
About six months ago I began feeling quite positive about working around the house, and subsequently, my house is awash in golden light, cleanliness and care. Don't feel guilty for enjoying your space: it is a sign of what's going on inside, too :) xoxoxoReplyDelete
Lizzy, unless you start wearing curlers and bathrobes, and shout haggishly at Tim while washing the dishes ("You don't even know me anymore!"), you will never be a housewife.ReplyDelete
Also, I understand that frivolous feeling, but you're right: one mustn't feel guilty for simply being alive. And personally, I enjoy that fact, and the fact that you exist within mine. :)
I came across your blog via Glynis, it is quite enjoyable!ReplyDelete
Especially this:
"Because I'd rather spend hours working on homemade presents than extra hours at a minimum-wage job paying for store-bought presents"

It was mission accomplished for Lutcher in several different ways as the Bulldogs dominated visiting Tara 54-22 in District 6-4A action Friday night.
The Bulldogs took advantage of Tara mistakes to build an early lead and held Trojans running back Chris Avery, the state's leading rusher, in check, to post their third-consecutive win.
"We wanted to come out and try to dominate early-on. We knew Tara had Chris Avery, a running back that was capable of scoring pretty quickly, so we didn't want to give them anything to get excited about. We wanted to kind of come out and handle business early-on and hopefully put the game away.
Lutcher improved to 4-5 overall and 3-1 in district while Tara fell to 3-6 overall and 0-4 in league play.
Special teams mistakes by Tara led to Lutcher's first two scores.
The Trojans were forced to punt on the opening possession of the game when a low center snap caused punter Nicholas Scott to try and scoop up the ball. One of his knees hit the ground on the attempt, allowing Lutcher to take over at the Tara 14-yard line.
Three plays later, Lutcher had a 6-0 lead when quarterback Kolby Bourgeois tossed a 5-yard touchdown pass to Jacoby Williams.
A shanked 2-yard punt on Tara's next possession gave the Bulldogs the ball at the Trojans' 35-yard line. Six plays later, it was 13-0 when Rondell Mealey run up the middle for a 9-yard touchdown.
"We got some early stops defensive and that's what we wanted to do," Jenkins said.
Daevon Adams, who topped 150 yards rushing, scored on a 1-yard run in the second quarter put the Bulldogs up 20-0 before Tara scored its first touchdown of the game on a 44-yard pass from Brandon Jordan to Scott to make it 20-7.
Touchdown passes from Bourgeois to Gregory Clayton and to Williams gave the Bulldogs a 34-7 halftime lead. Bourgeois finished 15 of 22 with four touchdown passes.
A 10-yard touchdown pass to Mealey extended Lutcher's lead to 41-7 before Jordan and Scott hooked up again, this time on a 33-yard touchdown pass, with a two-point conversion making it 41-15 after three quarters.
Another Tara touchdown made it 41-22. The Trojans attempted an onside kick that was returned by Clayton for a score but it was called back because of a penalty. On the first play from scrimmage, Adams raced 55 yards for a touchdown to make it 48-22.
"I think in the second half we made some mistakes we need to learn from. We need to learn to put teams away. We didn't turn the ball over on offense but we had two special teams turnovers. We had a muffed punt and another short punt that hit one of our guys and they (the Trojans) recovered and both of those led to points for them," Jenkins said.
The final touchdown came in the closing minutes on a 20-yard touchdown run by Lutcher backup quarterback Mekhi Patterson.

Well, there are various stores where you could acquire the chesterfield sofas. If you are really significant about it, the net appears to be the finest option. Below, you could purchase the couch right at the comfort of your home. Additionally, you will obtain them at a far better rate. For that, you have to make certain that you are acquiring it from the ideal store.
It is essential in this regard that you are able to identify the chesterfield couch from various other sofas. Generally, this type of sofa is much more classy as well as glamorous compared to the average sofas though they are similar in look. Unlike the Victorian sofas, they do not have extreme carvings as well as scrolled legs. One of the most crucial functions of the these couches is the upholstery. The these sofas are on the earliest instances of couches that come with total furniture. Normally, the material chesterfield sofas are not something brand-new and startup. They as well, have a log as well as classy history.
Along with the kind of material that you choose for your couch, you ought to think about exactly how simple or hard the textile will certainly be to clean. Heavily woven textiles might be harder to clean than natural leather or microfiber product. Some couches include tarnish defense, so you may intend to talk to the furnishings sales representative for additional information regarding your options if you are worried concerning discoloration and methods of cleaning.
