An email from a journalist inquiring about the Garni Temple pointed me to an interesting project: My Armenia, a collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution, USAID, and Armenia itself. The project seeks to document the cultural heritage of Armenia. The Smithsonian's website has also increased the attention it pays to the country, running articles on the Garni Temple, as well as on issues of the biology and geography of Armenia.

ASOR 2016, and our *online community* is up and running!
We had a great "Archaeology of the Black Sea and Caucasus" session this year at ASOR, with excellent talks from Tiffany Earley-Spadoni, Nat Erb-Satullo, Walter Crist, and Hannah Chazin. We also announced the opening of our online forum, generously supported by the American Research Institute of the South Caucasus.
To join the conversation, please follow the instructions here: South Caucasus Forum Registration.
Coming down the mountain (everybody has their own opinion)
Groundtruthing, or checking out on the ground anomalies and architecture seen in the satellite imagery, is a necessary step in identifying cultural remains. We went high on the slopes of Mt. Aragats yesterday, to take a look at a site that looked like a settlement with some recent activity. Amongst the architecture, we found a fascinating series of stacked and standing stones picking out a roughly north-south line across the summits of multiple slopes.
However, we were already high up on the flank of the mountain, high enough that the "scree" drainages in this photo are actually made of boulders — and high enough that the cloud obscuring the summit was worrisome.
Survey says…
One way to conduct an archaeological survey is to examine satellite imagery as a way to focus attention on particular areas. This summer, the Kasakh Valley Archaeological Survey looked at high resolution satellite images of the area east of Mt. Aragats and identified a number of intriguing sites.
In this case, I found a series of rooms that seem to be enclosed by a wall, to the south of the shallow gorge in the upper third of this image. We established that it was within our survey area and the next morning, off we went to take a look. After a first attempt to drive there in our UAZ, we circled around from the north and hiked in across the gorge.
This is looking northwest from the settlement, across the gorge–which was not very deep, and the rivulet at the bottom, like many water courses in Armenia, had many conveniently-placed stones useful for crossing. Continue reading
Survey in the upper Kasakh River valley
Project ArAGATS, the joint Armenian-American project on the Archaeology and Geography of Ancient Transcaucasian Societies, has begun surveying the Kasakh River valley in central Armenia over the past couple of years. We're recording burials, burial clusters, settlements, fortresses, stelae, evidence of Soviet-era land amelioration practices, and more. This year, we're working around the northeastern foothills of Mt. Aragats, to continue the project of understanding the relationship of ancient architecture and material culture to ancient life.
Ian Lindsay and Alan Greene are co-directing the survey this year, with multiple team members from Project ArAGATS, including Salpi Bocchieriyan, and Karen Azatyan, pictured here with Ian and Alan on a well-deserved coffee break after a morning of tromping around the mountains.
To keep up with the excitement of counting sherds and obsidian flakes, or other aspects of Project ArAGATS' multiple projects, follow @egafagan and @aragatsfound on Twitter.
Building a community of scholarship
One of the best things about the twenty-first century has to be how our ability to research and keep in touch with colleagues has changed dramatically. I've been trying to do my part to help build community amongst scholars who study the South Caucasus. As one project meant to work on this goal, I co-chair an annual session on the archaeology of the Black Sea and Caucasus regions, at the ASOR annual meeting. At the 2015 meeting, we crowdsourced ideas for an online community, and so I've built a forum on this website as a beta test, before going live on the American Research Institutes of the South Caucasus site, where the forum will eventually be housed.
How to clickbait archaeology!
It's fantastic that Project ArAGATS is in the news, but what a clickbaity title, complete with mention of DRUGS in ALL CAPS:
Gegharot, at the Daily Mail, which says, "How Bronze Age rulers got HIGH to predict the future: Armenian shrines reveal bizarre practices of fortune tellers 3,300 years ago."
More on crowdfunding science from Science Friday
I had the most useful laundry day ever. Spacing out, folding t-shirts, and suddenly Science Friday's discussion reaches my active brain through the laundry daze – they're talking about crowdfunding science projects! The interviewee started a website, experiment.com, where scientists can appeal to funders for their projects. Some of the projects are ridiculous ("does potato salad taste good" earned its PI $104!), but the choices also include many interesting-looking social science projects. While I wonder about a crowdfunding bubble, the possibilities seem boundless right now, and especially important when governmental funding is in danger.
AJA cover – again!
The Project ArAGATS crew must have very photogenic trenches – we are on the cover of the American Journal of Archaeology for the second time in 2014. Last time, it was for a trench I excavated in 2011 at Tsaghkahovit, in the Iron Age complex. This time, it is a photo of a shrine area, one of many excavated at Gegharot, an Early and Late Bronze Age fortress on the flanks of the Pambak Mountains bounding the Tsaghkahovit Plain. Project ArAGATS has been working in Armenia since 1998, making it one of the longest-running collaborative projects still working in Armenia.
Should we crowdfund archaeology? Regarding US Ambassador Heffern's exhortation to develop archaeology & tourism in Armenia
In 2013, the United States Ambassador to Armenia, John Heffern, gave a TedX talk in Yerevan about the wealth of archaeological remains just waiting to be excavated (and then conserved) in the modern Republic of Armenia. He argued that the vivid history in Armenia should be better known throughout the world, to bring development (i.e., tourist dollars and related construction projects) to Armenia, and also to heighten academic interest in its history, thereby also encouraging international collaboration.
To emphasize the value of bringing international attention to archaeology in Armenia, Ambassador Heffern pointed out a few somewhat recent finds from the caves near the town of Areni in Vayots Dzor, including the earliest known wine-making equipment and a remarkably well-preserved leather shoe that clocks in at 5,500 years old. He went on to discuss the wine-making equipment at length, because of its potential significance to development, as the region of Areni just happens to be the most famous Armenian region for wine production, suggesting marketing connections just waiting to be made. Ambassador Heffern's final exhortation to his audience was to look into the use of crowdfunding to help finance archaeological projects and conservation, and to promote the sites for education and tourism.
I am in such complete agreement with Ambassador Heffern's main points that I have in fact spoken to audiences across the U.S. on numerous occasions about archaeology in Armenia, its origins, its history, and its current state. In Armenia, if you walk through the countryside with one of the archaeologists from the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography of the National Academy of Sciences, the archaeologist will point out a historic or archaeological site to your left; an artifact to the right; a series of memorials behind you; or ancient walls directly in front. The landscape is dotted with reminders of the past, artifacts and constructions like those found in the Areni cave that tell a tale of very early times, up through material remains that teach us about the medieval period and beyond. The very landscape tells a story, a complex story of different times and different people, and that captivating story—or really, stories—should indeed be better known.
I have even led a group of tourists through every part of the country, telling those stories of the past by providing a unique look at material excavated long ago as well as excavations that are currently ongoing. I led the tour to do exactly what Ambassador Heffern is calling for, to bring tourist money into the country while at the very same time educating people about the past directly under their feet.
And so, I agree wholeheartedly with the spirit of the talk, and yet, I can't help but wonder what impact crowdfunding might have on what is (and should remain) a social-scientific endeavor. What happens if institutions like universities and organizations like the National Science Foundation are relieved of their responsibility to fund scientific projects like archaeology? What happens if the model becomes, in fact, a business model? Or even a privately-funded model?
I have other questions about the talk, such as why there was no mention of the many international collaborations already going on in Armenia, some of which have lasted for many years. There was not even a mention of the teams at UCLA and University College Cork who work at Areni, although to be fair, Armenian archaeologists also hardly figured in the speech except to be seen in the photo at the Institute. My point, however, is that collaborations and academic interest in Armenia already do exist; why not lend support to these projects, which already have the relationships and even infrastructure in place that will allow them to expand their efforts to illuminate the archaeology and history hiding in Armenia's soil?
In the end, TedX talks are meant to be thought-provoking, not necessarily problem-solving. This talk certainly made me think, but largely, about the proposed solution to the problem of funding archaeological research, and about the problems that the solution might in turn raise.

Our selection includes a all the pieces from great worth starter packs ideally suited for inexperienced persons, by means of to top of the range fashions from the biggest names in guitars. In acoustic guitars, string vibration is transmitted by the bridge and saddle to the body by way of sound board The sound board is typically fabricated from tone woods similar to spruce or cedar. Will be utilizing Artist Guitars again as they are a very skilled firm to take care of.
The fingerboard , also referred to as the fretboard, is a bit of wood embedded with metallic frets that includes the top of the neck. Line 6's hexaphonic-geared up Variax guitars use on-board electronics to model the sound after numerous vintage instruments, and vary pitch on particular person strings.
^ "We know from literary sources that the 5 course guitar was immensely well-liked in Spain within the early seventeenth century and was also extensively played in France and Italy…Yet virtually all of the surviving guitars were built in Italy…This obvious disparity between the documentary and instrumental evidence may be explained by the fact that, typically, only the more expensively made guitars have been kept as collectors' items.
The Taylor Guitars manufacturing facility tour takes visitors through the steps of acoustic guitar construction. These make use of piezoelectricity to generate the musical sign and are well-liked in hybrid electro-acoustic guitars. Most have six strings, but there are 12-string acoustic and electric guitars, as well as some up to date 7-string and 8-string instruments.
This product is purposeful but shows indicators of heavy use that could embrace, however not limited to; scratches, dings, dent, chips, and worn elements/controls. The ukulele, a small four-string instrument generally related to the Hawaiian islands, even falls on this class.

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B).
The aim of the present research project aimed to investigate the structure changes and stability relations of earth's interiors under the conditions of same temperature and pressure as carth mantle and core. Dynamical structure changes under compression were observed by time-resolved diffraction experiment in time interval of second or millisecond. In order to understand the mechanism of phase transition or decomposition, we developed the single-crystal X-ray diffraction system for kinetic studies of these structure transformations. For this purpose, two-dimensional X-ray detector of charge coupled detector (CCD) was planed to be installed in the newly devised system. It enables to execute the time-resolved study. After searching the several CCD detectors made by SIMENS, NONIUS, QUANTUM and RIGAKU.The RIGAKU detector was tested from the viewpoints of dynamic range, quantum efficiency, positional resolution and reproducibility. Computer programs for driving the system and data analysis
… More
were also developed. Combined with the rotating anode X-ray generator and HUBER four-circle diffractometer facilitated in laboratory, diamond anvil high-pressure cell with electric resistance heater makes possible the diffraction study of structure transformation in the process of compression. The high-pressure and high-temperature studies up to 80GPa and 550℃ can be possible.The present instrumental development has already been reported in annual meeting of High-Pressure Technology and Sciences : By using the new system the following experiments are scheduled in near future.(1) Observation of pressure-induced amorphization, martensic structure transition, and precursor phenomenon of melting.(2) Time-resolving diffraction study of structure transformation including dehydration, degas, phase decomposition, radiation damage etc.(3) Inspection of crystallization from melts.(4) Perception of solid-solid reaction under compression with heating condition.(5) Elucidation of electronic density of state in the filed of material sciences, metallurgy, solid-state physics and several other science.The present detector system combined with synchrotron radiation will be an effective tool for kinetic study of structure transformation.

Like vs Love
Oh, How He Loves Us
Week Three • February 21, 2016 • Brandon Cox
Yes, God loves you. But what does that mean? Most people think God might love them but that he's just mostly disappointed with them. But that's not the story of the Bible. The Bible is the story of God pursuing a relationship with you because he really does love you.
Living for Likes While Longing for Love
Week One • February 7, 2016 • Brandon Cox
We so often fall into the trap of believing that if we can just be liked enough, it will finally feel like love. But God wants us to know and receive his love in a way that transcends human popularity. And he demonstrates his love through the cross.

On his first trip to Brazil, his team spent time in Northeast Brazil working at the Compassion Projects and meeting his sponsored children. After that, his team came to Curitiba and did some meetings at C3 Church Curitiba. Scott came back to Brazil in 2016 with another great team of Australians. They again spent time with the Compassion Ministry and met their sponsored children.Annie and I met up this team in São Paulo where they ministered in C3 Church ABC and C3 Church Santos. We all ended up in Curitiba where they also led some great meetings at C3 Church Curitiba. When the team left, Scott stayed behind. He plans on living with us for at least four months. Scott was able to take a leave of absence from his job in Australia to serve in Brazil. He wants to be a part of C3 Church Curitiba while he is here and serve wherever he is needed. He also has a heart to stay connected with Compassion International and see how he might be able to serve them as well.
We are humbled by Scott's commitment and his willingness to serve the Lord in a foreign country. Would you pray for him as he serves with us in Brazil? Thanks so much!

Dylan Davis hits grand slam for first pro homer
Dylan Davis got to return to the state where he starred collegiately last week as he joined other top hitters from the recent draft in Salem, Ore. But a 1-for-17 slump with six strikeouts entering Tuesday night's game couldn't have felt good. The Giants' third-round pick only picked up one hit in five plate appearances, but the one connection was a grand slam that ignited one of the largest comebacks in Volcanoes history. The homer was his first as a pro, but not his first extra base hit as the corner outfielder cranked out seven doubles in nine games with the AZL team.
Two other bats went deep in a crazy 14-11 win for the Volcanoes, including Ryder Jones and Hunter Cole, and Christian Arroyo extended his hit streak to seven games with a 2-for-5 evening.
—Martin Agosta allowed one hit over five solid innings for the San Jose Giants. The right-hander from Sacramento did walk four, but managed to allow just one earned run and strike out four.
—Mitch Delfino upped his average to .290 with a four-hit night. He leads all Giants minor leaguers with 134 hits this season.
—Daniel Carbonell picked up his first extra-base hit — an RBI triple — in the San Jose Giants 4-1 win over Rancho Cucamonga. He also drew a walk and did not strike out.

Jennifer is the winner of the 2013 Scopus Young Researcher of the Year for Arts and Humanities.
Jennifer Watling
By looking at fossilised plant remains in the Amazon rainforest University of Exeter researcher Jennifer Watling hopes to answer questions about how 'man made' the Amazon is and how it has affected current biodiversity.
Jennifer recently won the Arts and Humanities Scopus Young Researcher 2013 award for her environmental archaeology research. We caught up with her to fins out more about her research.
Can you tell us more about the Scopus award?
I was nominated on the quality of my publications. To be eligible for the award, you had to have been published no earlier than 2010 in a in high impact journal.
The paper I was nominated for was as a culmination of work archaeobotanists, archaeologists, ecologists and soil scientists. We researched ancient agricultural systems on the French Guiana coast and the extent of landscape transformation associated with them.
It was the first time an interdisciplinary approach had been used to study these systems, which are found all over the Americas.
The paper was published in 2012 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS) and was titled 'Fire-free land use in pre-1492 savannas'.
A panel of judges, all of whom had Arts and Humanities affiliations, chose the winner based on the quality of the research and how interesting they thought it was.
I was and still am, to a large extent, extremely surprised to receive the award but I am very thankful for it.
What do you think stood out about your research to the judges?
I think it was partly that it was something very new, the project looks at plant remains from the Amazon to reconstruct the way humans have interacted with the planet, historically. I'm using scientific methods of studying plant remains to test assumptions about how much humans deforest the landscape.
In Acre state, Brazil, where I'm conducting my PhD, more than 400 geometrically-patterned ditch and bank earthworks have been discovered in areas where the rainforest has been cleared for cattle ranching. The existence of these structures, under what would otherwise be intact forest, raises questions over the nature of the landscape at the time they were built and whether their construction involved clearing large areas.
The research is ground breaking because we're linking the archaeology and the paleoecology [plant remains and environmental history] which hasn't been done very much before in the Amazon basins.
Who or what has inspired you to do this research?
The work itself inspires me. It sounds cheesy but I like the fact that there are these big unknowns and that the Amazon itself is an amazing landscape.
We can hopefully learn from the past; if we see how rainforest ecosystems responded to human impact in the past it could have implications for modern day practice of conservation.
If the Amazon is more man-made than pristine and the current biodiversity is an effect of humans altering the landscape then we need to rethink how we conserve it.
How can a member of the public understand the impact of your research?
We need to learn from the past in order to know what to do today. The Amazon has the greatest biodiversity of anywhere in the world and it needs looking after properly.
Looking at how humans in the past used the landscape and how it responded can help us in the future.
What are your plans for the future?
I would like to get a Post-doc in Brazil and do some more research in a similar area.
I want to keep working in the Amazon with plant remains; there's a lot that my work can hopefully shed light on over there. To actually set up a base in the Amazon would be cool.
How has the University's support helped your research?
My supervisor, Prof Jose Iriarte, has worked with human-environment interactions all over South America and the inter-disciplinary and cutting edge nature of his work has been an inspiration for me.
I have a lot of contact with him and he has a lot of good ideas.
The University have also supported me in a practical way; the Archaeology department and College of Humanities have supported me financially to carry out my research.
What makes you tick?
I think it's two things. One; the level of independence you have as a researcher to carry out your work and two; that discovery is just round the corner.
You are always finding out new things that no one has known before and seeing things that no one has seen. That is what gets me going.

Photography & Filmmaking
Photography has been the natural companion for my career in helicopter maintenance traveling around the world. It has been an accurate way of creating a journal with an artistic expression of life. Capturing on board footage inside a Sikorsky S-64 Air-Crane to a flying rally car in Finland have been utterly breathtaking to live through.
I have been capturing using the Canon 5D Mark II body with its remarkable full frame sensor and my recent upgrade to the Mark III. I use lenses ranging from 15mm Fisheye, 24-70 mm f/2.8L, 24-105mm f/4 L and the 70-200 mm f/2.8 L II. I also use a Sony Handycam SR-12 and a Go Pro Hero4.
My recent purchase has been a Quadcopter DJI Phantom 2 using the KumbaCam Fully Advanced FPV (First Person View) Monitor Kit enabling on capturing video/stills from the helicopters viewing perspective with its latest H3-3D axis gimbal.
If you want to make adventure films, there has never been a better time in history to be easier than now. Creating a good film can be challenging though. Audio can be overlooked, but it is just as important to the finished film of images and editing.
My first film was done in 2003 in a visual communications class. With the help from Brandon Van Beek, I published my first video called, "Bryan's Pro Skating".
Since completing my AAS – Aviation Maintenance in Eugene, Oregon (2005-2007), I have been passionately capturing my life adventures around the world.
I have had the good fortune in meeting other photographers whilst traveling and spectating the World Rally Championships. Capturing in such a high paced, dusty and dangerous environment gave me the thrill of "risking" the expensive equipment for a perfect shot. Sometimes this is where it comes down to.
I began flight lessons in 2001 and completed my commercial pilot licence training (fixed wing – single engine endorsed) in 2005 at Langley Flying School. Shortly afterwards I was enrolled towards my AMT.
It has been a luxury traveling since 2007 while capturing the experiences around the world including Europe – Switzerland – Hungary – Greece – Finland – Belgium, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan and meeting other like minded people.
I found the real joy of photography and filming is the experiences it guides us to. Wherever we may find ourselves, there is beauty.
The photographic and filming outputs have been adequate, but the experience has been surreal.
Since 2001, I had always admired the Subaru chassis and exterior looks. I was more interested in the Outbacks and Imprezas. Its All Wheel Drive system and spacious interior for camping adventures were something else to be an advantage. Until 2003 after discovering the World Rally Championship and watching Petter Solberg win the World Rally Championship, I could not step away. In 2006, I spectated my first World Rally Championship in Finland and was privileged to meet Petter Solberg.
After organizing local Subaru meets between 2005-2010, spectating the WRC and meeting other Subaru orientated people around the world, I begin to learn it was a lifestyle. Meeting genuine, intelligent, active, and helpful individuals have been great.
In February 2004 after Solberg's win, I purchased my first Subaru. A 1999 Subaru Impreza 2.5rs from Missouri, USA.
Born and raised in Switzerland, my family and I moved to the States in the early 90s providing a rare opportunity to see the world from the West.
I have been fortunate to participate in a variety of racing including Auto-x, Rally-x, Track days and Overlanding a Subaru.
In 2010, I made the decision to sell the 99′ Subaru 2.5rs. Realizing what I had done; I purchased it back from the owner. Special thanks to Jesse Jurgenson for taking care of it in those 2 years of absence. With the help of Julian, a long-distance lorry-driver, we were able to make the 4,000 mile trip from Seattle, Washington to Wisconsin to retrieve the Impreza.
July 3, 2014 I had the opportunity to attend my first Advanced Performance racing school at Proformance Racing School in Kent, Washington. An overview of my experience taught by my driving performance instructor Curtis.
Racing Results 2004-Present
The future currently brings forth an exploration to bring the 1992 Subaru Loyale across North America and around Europe crossing my parents great ancestors' home lands in Norway and Hungary.


text: I've really enjoyed volunteering with Adopt-A-Pet for the past 5 years. Adopt-A-Pet really is the volunteers. There is so much to do, with organizing events and transporting animals to vets, and connecting with prospective adopters. All of it is done by caring, giving volunteers and of course none of what we do would be cohesive without our glue, Randy, who keeps us all on the same page. The rescue cats and dogs that find homes through Adopt-A-Pet are really the luckiest.

As I got ready to participate in my first century ride in 2011, I bought a Contour video camera so that I could record it. After the ride I edited all the clips together and it is now a lasting memory. The next year, I also recorded almost every training ride. It has been a great way to document my rides and share with my teammates.
I started off using the original Contour Cam. I loved the mounting system, video quality, and durability of the camera. In fact, this thing still worked after a bike crash in which I cracked my helmet in 3 places and had the camera ripped off. It was dinged up and the latch on the battery door broke, but the video was still top notch.
Last year, I upgraded to a Contour Roam. It boasts even better video quality, water resistance, and an easier on/off system. I also switched from using a helmet mount to one on my handlebars. I get more vibration on the handlerbars, but the camera angle is better and I don't look like a dork with the camera on my head. 🙂

off the reservation
off the reservation
1. Outside the bounds of control, propriety, or acceptance of a given group. The phrase refers to the forced relocation of Native Americans to Indian reservations in the United States. Because of this origin, the phrase is often considered offensive or inappropriate. The youths in this area seems content to remain largely off the reservation, as if they are beholden to no form of authority.
2. Different or contrary to the accepted norm. The vice president seems to be off the reservation regarding his views on legalizing marijuana.

Same-Sex Divorce in Arizona
Arizona Same-Sex Divorce | What You Need to Know
The United States Supreme Court ruled that same-sex couples have a constitutionally protected fundamental right to marry. As a result, it has been estimated that hundreds of thousands of same-sex couple have crossed the matrimonial divide. It has been reported that the rate of divorce among same-sex couples if approximately the same as divorce rates among heterosexual couples.
The divorce rate for same-sex couples has been reported to be a little lower than divorces between heterosexual couples. There are similarities in the issues that need to be addressed in a same-sex divorce in Arizona, but there are also some differences. Let's talk more about these similarities and differences.
Similarities of Same-Sex Divorce in Arizona
As in any divorce, the court must find that the marriage between the couple is irretrievably broken with no prospect of reconciliation. All the court has to do is receive testimony from at least one of the spouses indicating the marriage is irretrievably broken with no hope for reconciliation to meet this requirement. Well, that is easy enough to establish.
The court will also have to consider whether one spouse should pay the other spouse alimony, will have to divide the parties' community property and debts, and determine if one spouse will have to contribute to the attorney fees spent by the other spouse to finalize the divorce.
Differences of Same-Sex Divorce in Arizona
The most significant difference between a same-sex divorce in Arizona rears its head when the discussion of custody of the children and child support becomes an issue. If one of the parties adopted a child, or was conceived through artificial insemination, or was carried by a surrogate and a child was born the marriage you may run into issues.
If the other spouse did not also adopt the child, that spouse may have limited rights to the child and have no obligation to pay child support to the other parent. It is imperative that you have an attorney who understands the laws of the state in which you are adopting a child a child or using a surrogate to carry the child. There are very strict criminal laws that apply in these situations you must avoid.
The divorce attorneys at Hildebrand Law, PC has experience representing a party in a same-sex divorce in Arizona. If you are in a same-sex marriage and need an experienced divorce lawyer to represent you in your same-sex marriage, call us to schedule a consultation.

Homes by Email
Be the first to see new listings as soon as they hit the market!
Jim Carter
Following a career in management and people development, I chose to enter the real estate business, first as an investor (owning 7 investment properties), and then as a sales professional.
I spent a lifetime in the business world developing and honing my customer service skills to a very high level of achievement. Now, every day I continue to challenge myself to deliver outstanding customer service to every client I am privileged to assist in seeking their next new home or selling their current home. My #1 skill is listening followed closely by attention to detail.
A real estate transaction can be stressful whether you are selling or buying a home or both. I can work with you to help make the process less stressful. Let me help guide and manage you through the process. Regardless of your home needs, let's make it a more enjoyable experience for you.
I can assist sellers who find themselves in the precarious situation of owing more on their present home than its current value, but are facing a must sell situation for any number of reasons. There is a solution; let me help you through it.
If you are a value buyer seeking to purchase a foreclosure property I can help. I have worked with REO and HUD properties so I understand the processes and steps necessary for you to take advantage of potential value purchases and build immediate equity.
I am a Top Producer in my office, and as a strong believer in continual training, I have earned the following designations, certifications, and awards: Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR®), Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource (SFR®) and the Graduate, REALTOR® Institute (GRI®), LUXURY COLLECTION SPECIALIST, eCERTIFIED, CHAIRMAN'S CIRCLE (2014), PRESIDENT'S CIRCLE (2015), TOP 10 SALES AGENT, TOP SALES AGENT, and TOP PRODUCTION AGENT.
I love working with First time Buyers as well! From the initial meeting where we discuss the entire buying process to watching them turn the key to open the door to "their" new home. Watching them learn as we go through the process gives me great joy, and seeing them achieving their dreams gives me even greater satisfaction.
I am also happy to provide references for past clients. Thank you for considering me for your real estate needs!

Was going to pay bills and looked at the usage on our cell phones.
CSO called last night and said he could only talk for a while. When I looked at the phone bill and the cell usage, his cell phone showed the 10 minutes he talked to the family (mostly his kids). Then it showed the 21 minutes he talked to his girlfriend's phone number.
Each time he has called he's said he only had X amount of minutes to talk, which is how long he talked to us. Of course he neglected to tell us that he actually had familyX + girlfriendX of time to talk. Is this lying by omission or "he just doesn't give a sh**" ?
I can see him not wanting to talk to me. But he is even spending more time chatting with his girlfriend than talking to his kids. He's really turning into a bastard and I don't think he realizes it.

Emergency Closure of School
There was an incident this week when a huge problem with a local mains water pipe bursting, caused floods and major disruptions in the local area. A number of parents called in or were trying to access the website to find out if the school was open.
If it is ever necessary to shut the school due to an emergency situation, information about the closure will be displayed on the top of the front page of the website. We understand that some pupils and staff leave home very early in the morning so we aim to update the website by 7am on the morning of a closure. We will also use the Parent Texting facility to inform parents as soon as possible, so please ensure your contact details are always kept up to date with school.
If there is nothing on the school website then please assume the school is open for business as usual.
May I also draw your attention to our Severe Weather Contingency which is displayed on the school website (access from front page Quick Links or under Parents / Severe Weather).
Ms C Caddell - Deputy Headteacher
Pupil Rewards
We are currently building up a stock of rewards for pupils that they will be able to 'buy' with the merits they are rewarded.
If you have any certificate 12 or 15 games you would be willing to donate we would be very grateful. We are also looking for any other items you may be able to donate
- unwanted gifts eg toiletries / ornaments / books / costume jewellery / stationary / toys / games / DVDs etc
- any ornaments that can be dusted off and made 'good as new
- any little 'collectibles'
You may also have a business contact who would be willing to donate. If so, please speak to them. If they would like more information give them the school phone number.
Thank you.
Please visit the School Website to read a publication from Public Health England and the NHS called "Protecting Your Child Against Flu—Information For Parents". This is important information and advice for parents of children of all ages. We have included the direct link this document on our website and in the text giving the link to this Weekly Bulletin. (look at the bottom of this page). You can also find it on the website on Parents/Useful Information/Health Information or News/Latest News.
Mrs Gamble—Welfare Officer
Classlist is our website allowing parents and carers of Meadow pupils to keep in touch, share ideas, problems and advice. Unlike other websites it is private and secure, being "closed" to the outside world and only accessible to approved parents and carers of Meadow pupils and staff involved with Friends of Meadow.
We have a message board for members to post on, you can send individual message to other members, electronically buy tickets for Friends of Meadow events and, as a member you will receive the weekly school bulletin by email.
Note that Classlist isn't a communication channel with the school, it's very much centred around our pupils' parents and carers keeping in touch.
With our children living over a wide area and coming to school on buses, it can be difficult for our parents and carers to meet-up, so that's why we're using Classlist to try to build our parent and carer community. We'd love as many parents and carers as possible to join and help build our community. There are a few ways you can join-up:
- at www.classlist.com you can register and select "Meadow High School" as your school,
- if you would like to receive an invitation to join then please drop an email to Friends of Meadow secretary John Goodbody (email@example.com) and he will send you one. You can then click on the link in the invitation to join-up,
- come along to the Friends of Meadow table at the upcoming Meet The Tutor evening, we'll have Classlist available for you to see there and sign up if you would like to.
Sixth Form Charity News - Last year, Meadow 6th form students and staff managed to raise £1575.36 for Great Ormond Street Hospital. They took part in sponsored sports events, ran cake sales and took part in seasonal activities to raise money. We are extremely proud of everyone who took part; and so grateful to all parents, staff and companies who donated money, toys, equipment and time! We will soon be deciding the sixth form charity for this year.
The Pastiche Musical Theatre Group are once again putting on one of their performances, with profits in aid of Meadow High School. Flyers with further information and how to book have been sent home, and are also attached to this news bulletin. Musical Masterpiece, is on at the Compass Theatre in Ickenham from 4-6 October 2018. Tickets are £10.00. All welcome! You can find out more about Pastiche, and the current production by visiting http://www.pastichemusicaltheatre.com/2018/09/19/pastiche-enter-two-week-countdown-to-a-musical-masterpiece/
A Plea to Parents and Students
Many of you will remember Mr Lois who used to work at Meadow. He is trying to compete his PhD and would really like you and your children's help. He will be coming to next weeks 'Meet The Tutor Evening' and would like to talk to you about how you can help him. Below is a little information about a research project his is doing that you could help with.
UCL Research on Gender Stereotyping in Adolescents
This novel study is exploring how adolescents receive and process messages related to gender stereotypes. It is totally anonymous and can be completed online.
- An adolescent (young people between 11 and 19 - at Meadow or at ANY school ,so siblings can also take part)
9 totally online surveys which can be anonymous
- 3 to be completed by a parent/caregiver (about any autistic traits your child may have and also your views on your adolescent's social awareness) This should take about 8 minutes
- 6 to be completed by the adolescent participant (about receptive language, strengths, social awareness and knowledge of and attitudes towards Gender Stereotypes) Taking about 35 minutes.
Follow this link for more information and if you wish to take part: https://is.gd/the_gender_project_surveys
Any information collected will be treated with respect and no personal information will be shared in a way that can be tracked back to yourself or your child.
Please speak to Mr Lois for further information at the Meet the Tutor Evening.

Three Peg White Shelf
Perfect baby gift 03/26/2018
I have been purchasing these 3 peg shelves for years as new babies arrive. The designs are great and it hangs on the wall, doesn't take up space and grows with the child. Once the child has outgrown the design it can be put in a closet or garage to continue to hang coats etc. Always get great service and recipients still continue to comment after many years.

Perfect Baby Gift 10/19/2014
I have been ordering these peg boards for years for baby gifts.
Even after the baby outgrows the design parents put them in the closets for extra hanging uses. Also, years later they still know the gift came from me and still talk about it. Perfect gift, perfect price.
Three Peg White Shelf
Absolutely beautiful 08/11/2013
This shelf was better in person when I received it the painted name on it was beautiful. It was a gift for a 3 year old little girl. I put it together before giving it to her for her birthday it was very easy to assemble.

So here we are with an accepted contract! At this point, you step back and take a hard look at the home. Get a home inspection, hire a professional to look at the nuts and bolts and check to see that the plumbing isn't leaking, the HVAC system works, the attic isn't full of critters and the crawl space isn't full of mold.
Step 6 to Buying a Home- Negotiation Period
Again, it's important to remember that both parties ultimately want the same goal. The seller wants to sell, and you want to buy. There are many ways to get there, we simply have to figure it out, and we usually do.
Finding a loan for those amazingly affordable Dayton homes
One of the perks of living in Dayton is home prices that are the envy of the rest of the country, but buying a lower priced home isn't always as easy as you might think. But never fear- you do have some options, and I'm here to share them with you!
Step 4 of Buying a Home- Finding a Home
All the planning and research you've done in the first 3 steps is about to pay off as you are now prepared to go looking at houses. Armed with your list of needs and wants, we head out to explore the homes and indulge in some dreaming. I will set up a personalized search in the Dayton Area Board of Realtors Multiple Listing Service ( just ask) so only the homes that meet your needs get sent directly to your inbox. We can discuss the
pros and cons of each home.
Step 3 of Buying a Home- Find a Neighborhood
In a continuing look at the process of buying a home, today we are looking at how to find a neighborhood in which you want to live. This is important. You buy a home, but your neighbors come with it. You want to feel Find Your Perfect Neighborhoodcomfortable, safe, and part of the greater community. I would like to offer a few tips you can use to really get an idea of what is going on in any neighborhood.
1st Step to Buying a Home
The home buying process is a little different for each home and each buyer, but in general there are 10 Steps most real estate transactions go through from the very beginning of the process to the closing. Let's take a look at the 1st Step in some detail. Step 1- Find a Realtor You Can Trust First […]

Sales of single-family and condominium units reported by the Dayton Area Board of Realtors during the month of May totaled 1,258, 173 more than April's tally, representing a new monthly high for sales so far this year. The sales volume produced by this activity reached over $161.77 million, and translated to an average sales price of $128,592, also a new high for 2013.

Dayton home values are up, and foreclosures are down, but what does that really mean?
home values in Dayton Ohio were up last year, up 11%- best gain of the 50 major metro areas- and the number of foreclosures in Dayton went down, this indicates that we are seeing some stabilization for the overall area.

The following popped up on my Facebook memories today and I felt it was worth sharing here. I had written this last year for a dear friend who was going through a rough patch and was feeling less than worthy.
September 4, 2016
This is for my friend (you know who you are) who needs to hear this loudly and clearly:
Put on your Big Girl Panties so you can own this.
Put on your Mr. Magoo glasses so you can read this.
Put on your biggest pair of Mickey Mouse ears so you can hear what I'm saying.
Yes, sometimes life sucks.
Yes, sometimes some people suck.
No, life is not always (and sometimes is never) Fair.
Neither you nor I are on the list of "suckers" or "suckees".
I don't care who thinks we are.
They don't know Jack Squat.
AND, one day…….
Life will be grand.
Life wIll be great.
Life will be fun.
But, it still won't be Fair. It will Never be Fair.
But, you won't give a rat's patooty.
I won't give a rat's patooty.
We will just "Be".
And we haven't done that in a while.
But, we will both love just "Being."
Trust Me.
So….hang on.
Get tough. Get mean. Get ready.
'Cause it's gonna be good, my friend.
It's gonna be good.
Now, on top of all that wisdom, remember the most important thing–
When you don't (or can't) trust yourself, dad-gum it, just trust Me.
'Cause I'm here and I love you and I won't steer you down the wrong path. (Forget those times that I've already done that. They don't count.)
Now, go forth and BE.
Darn it, don't you DARE quit BEING!!!

Our world is infatuated with the newest and most recent updated version of everything. Our pride is often in the complicated solutions and cures that our best scientist, doctors, and philosophers can boast of. While tasks of life are made easier with invention and the life of our bodies can be extended by good science, we dare not trust the salvation of our souls to anything less than the simple and true word of God.

Hi There,
I promise I did not abandon you again. Unfortunately, my family was dealing with the very unexpected loss of our sweet puppy Calypso. It came as quite a shock and I think, even now, 2 weeks later- we are still getting used to the idea that she isn't around anymore.
Calypso or Caly for short was a wonderful, loving and beautiful black lab. She was part of our family for 11 years. While that might seem like a lot to some, it felt very short lived when the time came to say goodbye. Calypso's name was inspired by the goddess from the Pirates of the Caribbean movie and the fact that we adopted her in October. She loved Puppacino's from Starbucks and walking around the neighborhood. She was a big fan of a seasonal bandanna and could often be found dressed up in a t-shirt hanging around the house. She greeted everyone with a wagging tail and a look that let you know that she was happy to see you. Popcorn was one of her favorite snacks at night before bed and it didn't feel like dinnertime unless she was laying at your feet, waiting for anything to fall.
The vet is not exactly sure what caused such a dramatic turn in her health that lead her from being perfectly fine on a Friday morning to us having to say good bye to her on Sunday night. While I cannot go back in time and change anything, my head and heart feel there is a disconnect for exactly what happened and I have trouble making sense of it all or accepting it. However, I am grateful that I got the chance to say goodbye to her in person and make sure that even as she crossed the rainbow bridge she had one of her toys with her and was comfortably wrapped in her cozy blanket.
Calypso, you were such a loving, sweet, amazing member of our family and if love alone could have kept you here, you would have lived forever. You are so missed by us and Indiana Bones. Rest in Peace and now that you are so loved.

Meat and Potatoes #1
Entry posted by TapOrSnap ·

Hey vVv,
I know there's a lot of stigma throughout the gaming world that anyone who is a gamer is an out of shape, disgusting, pasty white slob. I can speak from experience that just inside vVv that is definitely not the case and if anyone has watched streams of pro players there are very few who could be lumped into that category. Most gaming houses have a schedule for daily exercise of some sort to keep the mind fresh and the body ready to go.
For my first fitness blog I'd like to introduce myself, where I come from, why you should (hopefully) listen and contribute to the weekly fitness debate and finally why you should seriously consider adding fitness into your regimen. We can all learn from each other but I'm hoping to facilitate the change in wellness we can all use.
Who I Am:
My name is Don, most will know me as vVv TapOrSnap. I'm in the Army National Guard and I've been deployed to Afghanistan. I've trained for a year and a half with the best of the best amateur fighters in Southern Minnesota, most of them are now pro fighters making names for themselves. I've been through grueling workout sessions more times than I'd care to remember. I plan on learning as much if not more from you guys as you, hopefully, will learn from me.
What I'm Doing:
The bread and butter and reasoning of my blogs is that I have a great passion for leaving people a little bit better than they were before they met me. Hopefully this turns into a vVv that has every team and every member a healthy and fit group of gamers that can all live a long and happy life to pass it on to your friends. At the very least after each week I hope to leave you with a new train of thought to consider in your daily lives.
Meat and Potatoes #1
As for this first blog I'd like to talk about Attitude. Attitude is one of the single greatest barriers to most all diets and exercise schedules. "Oh, I can do it tomorrow." "Well, I don't want to do it alone." "The gym is smelly and I'll look out of place." You're right. It's not fun, especially when you're already out of shape. It's a terrible atrocious process that hurts your body and bruises your ego. You can make it through the hard days.
Suck it up. One of the biggest gamers have to deal with in any game, casually or competitively, is defeat. As I'm writing this I'm watching vVv take on Team Coast in League of Legends NACL. They just surrendered with a 15k gold deficit. Will LordJerith see this one game and completely disband vVv. Take away their birthdays? No. What we as an organization expect is for everyone to get better. If you can't deal with a little defeat you've already lost.
What vVv as an organization is is a community that fosters competition and competitive attitude. If you haven't checked out the Hall of Fame for vVv go do it right now. I'll wait… Time in. All those accolades didn't come from the person quitting after one loss. We should all want to add to that hall of fame in some way. Whether it be being there to cheer the teams on while they play their hearts out at huge tournaments or making the community the best possible place to be in E-sports. We can all contribute.
The attitude necessary to produce a championship caliber team, to make our community the best place to be in E-sports in general is the same attitude it takes to be successful with your fitness. I use multiple different ways to push myself through hard days and hard workouts. The main three big areas I get my mental attitude to pursue anything are betting, competition and friends and family.
Whether you bet yourself or others there's usually something at risk. It could be Pride, money, having to wear a stupid monkey costume in a community video with bananas hanging from your chest. I often find myself on the treadmill within a half mile of finishing my run and thinking "I bet you can't do another half mile an hour faster until it's over." Or "2 mile run? Make it 2.1 and we'll talk." Adding little stipulations to your life and workouts makes everything that much better when you finish it.
Kick it up to the next level. You and your friend packing some extra weight? See who can lose more in the next month, in a healthy manner of course. Whoever loses has to buy the other person a nice meal or get their multivitamin for the next month. Don't have the energy to go to the gym? Take that friend and everyone puts a quarter in a jar and the first person to miss a scheduled day at the gym gives the jar over to the other person. When money is on the line people will work for things harder.
*Disclaimer: Kids, don't gamble. Just don't do it. Kthx.*
As this is by far the most common way people get motivated I'll keep it short and sweet. Gaming you compete all the time. Every game you play you're competing against the other team or even against yourself to beat an old score. Translate that into a better wellness and fitness lifestyle. Compete with your friend to see who can eat healthy foods longer. Did your friend run half a mile today and you did nothing? It looks like they're in the lead skippy, buck up and lace on those shoes.
To fully commit to a change of habit sometimes we need that little imp across from us sticking out their tongue and laughing at us. Shut it up by becoming the best you that you can possibly be. Make it cringe for fear that whatever it can throw in your face to taunt you, you can throw back 10x the amount and laugh while you're doing it.
Friends and Family:
One of the things we often forget about while we think about health and fitness is the effect on our families and our friends. Keep it in the back of your mind that your family and friends want you to succeed. vVv is a major group of friends and if you're included in it I personally want you to succeed in whatever you want to do with your life. So use the motivation to live long enough to piss all your enemies off and keep your family or friends laughing right along with you.
I appreciate your time everyone and hope to be able to do many more things like this in the future and if I can help one person figure something out it'll be worth it. My plan is to each week post a discussion blog about something fitness related that gamers can use in their everyday lives to pursue a healthy lifestyle so we can all game hard for many years to come. BelievVve it!


text: WJS June 9, 2011 Echo and the Bunnymen Poster for the Royal Albert Hall WJS June 9, 2011 I love this poster. Back in 2008, the Bunnymen performed their Ocean Rain album, with an orchestra, and they did it at the Royal Albert Hall. I have the audio recording of this show, and it was very well done. The intimacy of that album is difficult to describe. Much of it sounds exactly like you would think it would sound--seated string musicians on folding chairs in a big room, all of it lovingly played and immaculately executed. Ocean Rain is a masterpiece. What do you have from 1984 that rivals it?

As the advent of World War 3 looms ever closer, I am more baffled than ever about the apparent lack of opposition within the American government to their President.
This is the same nation that impeached a President for getting a blowjob under his desk, yet somehow Donald Trump – America's 45th and unarguably most terrible leader – continues to run rampant all over the democratic process.
Democratic Representative Maxine Waters of California recently reacted to Trump's decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal, describing impeachment as 'the only answer'.
She is by no means the first person to say so. The subject of impeachment has certainly been raised before, but seemingly only in whispers and by individuals. There are 535 politicians in Congress, yet Waters' lone voice shall, I suspect, leave their ears as hollow as billionaire Tom Steyer's hare-brained impeachment fund earlier this year.
So where is the opposition? Since it was a tiny, baby nation, nursed in the crucible of Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamiltons' mutual loathing, the United States has been defined by an open democratic process that invites change and challenge, agrees on nothing, and never stops asking questions.
It was knowing this about the United States that gave me confidence in its ability to stall Trump's political freewheeling before he could do anything detrimental. As solemn as I felt upon his election, I was sure that before long, the American government – always looking for solutions, even where there are no problems – would find a way to debug this glitch in its system.
There are 535 politicians in Congress, I reminded myself. How many of them are realistically going to stand for this?
But Congress has been standing for Trump ever since. The American political Left (and Leftish and, in fact, every direction but down) has fallen almost entirely silent, save for occasional 'umm…'s from individuals like Maxine Waters.
As far as I can see, there is no coherent resistance movement from any direction, no political counter-narrative, no genuine dialogue seeking potential solutions. There is nothing. There is only a big, black, atomic cloud, from which American politicians are hiding under the nearest rock.
Congress is currently controlled by the Republican Party, but that shouldn't make the silence any less shocking. Educated, professional, ideologically motivated individuals, regardless of political alignment, ought to be chilled to the bone by what their President is doing to their country.
Think of it like this: mushrooms are disgusting, and I won't eat them for the sake of moral loyalty to my vegetarianism. Mushrooms are evil and deserve to be destroyed, and I'm not afraid to admit it. In much the same way (okay, in some of the same way), it is the responsibility of any American politician left of insanity to resist Trump.
Certain things are just objectively terrible. Describing Neo-Nazis as 'very fine people' is one such thing. Conducting foreign policy on Twitter according to the vicious whims of a puerile TV personality with as much cumulative political experience than me is another. Even Republicans must realise that America can't go on like this.
