Subject: Re: Gnosticsm vs. Thelema Date: Fri, 08 Oct 1999 10:42:34 -0400 Mitch - > Crowley repudiated the rest -- > But the Gnostic Mass was patterned after the Greek or Russian > orthodox. Sorry, but I have to question you on this one as well...while Crowley wrote Liber XV while in Moscow (or was at least inspired to write it then, say The Confessions), and I can certainly see him or anyone else being inspired by a fist encounter with the Orthodox order of service (best show in town in the liturgical Christian churches these days), the structure of the Gnostic Mass is almost directly derived from the Tridentine (ie. Roman Latin) Rite. I am told it also resembles some earlier orders of Catholic worship, such as the Sarum Mass, but haven't found a copy of that text other than a massively expensive edition. But reading the Chrysosotom liturgy, I don't see much similarity to Liber XV, whereas its anatomy is real familiar to this ex-Catholic boy. > You are correct in asserting that the eternal only deals > direct, but Crowley created a Priest and Priestesshood. The > implication is that Thelema still relies on intercession... Implication is one thing, but I would point out... - the offices of the Mass (at this Oasis anyway) are filled ad hoc by anyone willing to do the work to learn them. Within the structure of the EGC as an arm of OTO, yes, you have to have be ordained to exercise some of the sacerdotal jobs, but celebrating Mass is NOT among those "restricted" functions. - I am by no means in agreement that the Priest, Priestess, and Deacon are in an intercessory role. One could do Mass that way, certainly, but it seems to me to miss the meaning of the rite. Acting as the spokesman for the space of a ritual for those present, in a unified aspiration towards the Divine in which the officers provide a focus for the Will of each participant towards gnosis, does not strike me as intercessory. I may have a more limited view of that term - again, ex-Catholic, in which the magico-religious efficacy of the Roman Mass is absolutely conditioned by the official status of the priest. Whereas the Gnostic Mass (like the agapemones of the Valentinians) is a communal celebration of a Mystery, in which anyone in the community can fill a given role at a particular meeting. Obviously, everyone who works a given tradition will have different views of how it functions...your experience as Priest is not the same as mine, and vice versa. But I cannot (equally of course) ignore my own perception of the office, as the member of the community who is doing that particular job this time around, providing the visible component of a Mystery drama from which everyone draws sustenance or comfort, or whatever they Will, according to their own gnosis. 93, Paul

text: Angus Convention 2018 Comprehensive coverage from the Angus Media team. "I used to believe profit drives everything, but today I know culture comes first and profit comes second," said Tom Walter. As a result of increasing employee engagement in his business, profits have skyrocketed. - Photo by Leann Schleicher Tom Walter Shares Story of 'Culture Shift' By Kindra Gordon | Angus Media 11/17/2016 Angus Convention 2016: Angus University, Tom Walter INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (Nov. 6, 2016) — "Either you change or we're leaving." That was the ultimatum Tom Walter faced one morning in 2006 from two employees in his Chicago-based catering business. One of those employees asking him to change his "iron fist" management style was his own 24-year-old son. Walter recognized this was a defining moment, and said he realized pretty simply, "I couldn't lose them." Walter adds, "I realized the way we were doing things wasn't going to work for the next generation. It reminded me of my father's authoritarian ways, which didn't work." The result was a journey of change for his business, his employees, his family and his personal life. Walter detailed that experience in his address during the Angus University General Session Nov. 6 at the 2016 Angus Convention in Indianapolis, Ind. Angus University was sponsored by Merck Animal Health. Walter said shortly after the encounter where he was asked to change, he read the book Good to Great (by Jim Collins), which helped spark a process of identifying core values for the company and its employees. He also began to recognize the need for trust, mutual respect and buy in from staff. "We got rid of the words 'department' and 'manager' and focused on teams and training," explained Walter. He also received a new title. Instead of chief executive officer, he became the chief culture officer. A succession plan was put in place along with a focus on employee engagement. Integral to this effort, Walter said, were identifying the values, vision and mission of the company. He noted, "If you don't have that [values, vision, mission], employees can't become emotionally engaged with the company." Said Walter, "I used to believe profit drives everything, but today I know culture comes first and profit comes second." He reported that as a result of increasing employee engagement in his business, profits have also skyrocketed. And, he's attracting new employees to his business because they have heard positive things about the culture that the business offers employees. He concluded, "I'm here to make the point: There's a better way to do business; there's a better way to engage family members." In addition to the book Good to Great, Walter recommended the book by Bo Burlingham Finish Big: How Great Entrepreneurs Exit Their Companies on Top. Both are available via www.amazon.com. Walter's presentation was part the general session kicking off Angus University, the Nov. 6 educational series sponsored by Merck Animal Health at the 2016 Angus Convention.

Tips for Buyers
First Time Home Buyers
Mortgage Checklist
Recommended Companies
Tips for Sellers
For Sale by Owner
CMA Request
Recommended Contractors
Before you list your home, make sure you are comfortable with the amount you will net from the sale. A REALTOR® will provide you with a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) of your home to determine its current market value and a settlement worksheet that outlines fees and expenses that you will incur upon selling your home, including all existing liens on the home (mortgages, applicable pre-payment penalties, judgments, tax liens, etc.) any applicable REALTOR® commission, transfer taxes, property taxes and attorney fees, outstanding utilities, etc.
You've poured your heart and soul into your home. You've remodeled it, you've purchased only the finest marble tile and granite countertops and you've imported sconces from Rome; it's a showpiece!
Unfortunately, most of the improvements you've made haven't translated into market value. Don't take it personally. Market value is determined by comparing your home to homes that are of similar sizes and have similar amenities (the number of bedrooms and bathrooms as opposed to the quality of the bedrooms and bathrooms). List your home at its current market value, not on its sentimental value. The worst thing a seller can do is overprice their home. The longer a home sits on the market, the less likely it is to receive a competitive offer.
Pre-inspecting a home gives you an opportunity to correct any major defects in advance. It's also a great marketing tool as it demonstrates that you have confidence in the condition of your home. Additionally, buyers will appreciate that it's one less expense they will have to incur should they choose to purchase your home.
Think of yourself as a buyer. The front of your home is the first impression buyers will have of your home. It's important to set the proper tone the moment they arrive. Stand outside your home and look at every aspect of it. Do the shutters and doors need paint? Does the landscaping need sprucing up? Is the railing rusty? Does the driveway have oil stains that need to be removed? Be certain that your home's curb appeal leaves potential buyers wanting to see more.
Consider investing in a storage unit for excess pieces of furniture while your home is on the market. Removing items such as extra chairs, dressers, bookcases, CD/DVD racks and hope chests can make a room appear to be much larger. Buyers will have an easier time imagining their own furnishings in your home if rooms appear to be more spacious.
De-clutter, de-clutter, de-clutter! Pack up your knick-knacks and family pictures as they distract potential buyers from concentrating on the amenities your home has to offer. Clear your kitchen counters of all small appliances and remove all of your refrigerator magnets. Additionally, clear everything but the bare necessities from your pantry, your kitchen drawers and cabinets, your bathroom cabinets and all of your closets. Buyers will open all of them when they tour your home to determine that there's ample storage space.
Incurring major home improvement expenses when you're listing your home is not a good idea; however, don't hesitate to spend money on things like painting, cleaning your carpets and washing your windows. You may also wish to consider replacing dated light fixtures, cabinet hardware and switch plates. Make sure all of your light bulbs are at least 100W and in working order so buyers can see each room clearly.
Walk through your entire home and study each room. Do the walls need to be painted? Are the closets and cabinets clean and organized? Is the carpet stained? Do the floors need refinishing? Are the windows dirty? Are the blinds dusty? Do the curtains need laundering? Is the upholstery stained? Are the plants dusty? Make sure you scrub the home from top to bottom prior to listing and always make sure it's spotless when you leave for work every day because you never know when a REALTOR® will call to schedule a tour of the home on short notice.
We love our pets. They're a part of the family and they bring us countless hours of joy. Unfortunately, buyers don't necessarily share our love of animals. Some are very sensitive to pet odors and could potentially choose not to purchase your otherwise perfect home because they were turned off by the smell of a pet. Remember that, even though you may not be able to smell our pets, chances are buyers will. Consider having your carpets and upholstery professionally cleaned prior to listing your home. Whenever possible, take your pet out of the home when a tour is scheduled and always make sure the litter box is cleaned and/or the yard is clear of dog waste every day.
Let's start with the pros. Well, the pro, because there's really only one: cost savings. If you list your home For Sale By Owner, you will avoid paying a REALTOR® commission. Usually. In order to draw more potential buyers, many FSBO sellers offer to pay a 2-3% commission to a buyer's Broker.
Now, let's move on to the cons. If you choose to sell your home on your own, your time and money will be spent on marketing your home, scheduling tours of your home and hosting open homes. Most importantly, you will be completely alone when it comes to negotiating price and home inspection issues, in addition to navigating the legal documents. Consider that the cost savings of the negotiation process along with the avoidance of potential legal liability will most likely offset the commission expense.

I'm trying a BIOS modification to support the Xeon dual-core CPUs, specifically 2 Xeon MP's 7120M (SL9HC, CPUID 0f68h) on an ASUS NCCH-DL mobo.
The mobo hast an i875P chipset, supporting 2 Xeon Foster/Prestonia/Gallatin/Nocona/Irwindale processors. Now, all of these are single core chips.
Here's what I did so far:
I extracted the microcodes off of a Supermicro X6QT8 BIOS (Quad Dual-core Xeon 71xx board), since I learned that CPU microcodes are chipset-independent, and merged these with the microcodes from the most recent BIOS 1006.002 for the NCCH-DL, removing all duplicates and retaining only the latest microcode releases for each CPUID.
The original cpu microcodes of the NCCH-DL BIOS were 38k, my new, merged cpu microcodes are 51k total.
Next, CBROM 1.96 allowed me to remove the logo successfully, and modbin6 2.01.01 was used to enable the L3 cache feature and disable the logo on/off feature at the same time. Removing the logo was necessary to accomodate the extra cpu microcodes in the 512k BIOS file.
I also read that ASUS has its own "tinkering" with Award BIOS formats, so that certain features of CBROM won't work - one of them is removing and inserting CPU microcodes. It's the newer, non-compressed format being used here. There's a tool "ACBROM" (Asus CBROM) which I was unable to find so far, and I hope that this will solve the problem of inserting the microcodes. If anyone of you has a link to a more recent version (I have acbrom 2.08 from 2002, but that's too old) which supports the newer ASUS Award BIOS'es - please, let me know.
I also tried a plain binary approach using UltraEdit's hexedit mode on a logo-removed but otherwise "original" BIOS file. I replaced 13k of FF's + 38k of the original microcodes with my 51k merged microcodes, paying attention to total file size. That resulted in CBROM still showing me the 38k NCPUCODE.BIN in the contents list but no microcode information below. I thought there must be some sort of internal structure that's kept elsewhere in the file.
Does anyone have similar experiences or tried it successfully before? I can provide the microcodes, and bios files that I used so far. Thanks in advance for any help.
Here are the files I mentioned, as direct links.
http://www.duke2k.de/files/1006.zip - Original ASUS NCCH-DL 1006.002 BIOS file;
http://www.duke2k.de/files/1006M1.zip Modified BIOS with L3 cache feature enabled and ONLY 0F68h microcode inserted (replacing the 0F29h microcode, at the end) - I flashed this on my mobo, still boots with a compatible processor just fine, but 7120M Xeon is not recognized despite the microcode and L3;
http://www.duke2k.de/files/1006M2.zip - Modified BIOS, as described above;
http://www.duke2k.de/files/NCPUCODE.zip - Microcodes only, as I merged them (description above).

Well, digging started:
And after 10 day and 18 truckloads of dirt, excavation is finally done!
Wow, I never imagined there would be so much dirt! Once it was all dug out I could see it is going to be so much bigger that I imagined. I can't wait. Tomorrow the foundation is getting formed with wood and re-bar (I have no idea how it's spelled!) is going in.

BOULDER, Colo. (PRWEB) October 23, 2008
Don and Kristie Kinsey know firsthand the devastation a hurricane can cause. When Hurricane Katrina demolished their house in 2005, they decided to invest their insurance money in a home that would withstand future storms.
After extensive research, the Kinseys chose the Boulder, Colorado-based company Spirit Cabins. Their decision was based on several factors, say the Kinseys. "After shopping around online, we got with the Spirit Cabins group and they were wonderful to work with. They specifically built our home so it would fit on pylons and also helped us develop a custom-built floorplan."
The Kinseys were even more pleased with their decision after Hurricane Ike ripped through their Bay St. Louis, Mississippi neighborhood, destroying the area. Their home had survived fully intact.
Says Kristie Kinsey, "I came around the corner and started crying when I saw my house was still standing. We are so proud of our Spirit Cabins home that we've kept the Spirit Cabins sign outside and people are still coming here, looking at our home and writing down the phone number for Spirit Cabins."
Spirit Cabins homes are built to the specifications of each customer so every client is as happy with their home as the Kinseys. Each home is given individualized attention and step-by-step assistance from the Spirit Cabins team.
According to Seth Chernoff, CEO of Spirit Cabins parent company Dream Home Manufacturing, "Spirit Cabins homes like the Kinseys' are built to bring our clients the highest level of quality so they can enjoy their home for years to come - even amidst hurricanes."

From the Director of Rugby, Roger McKerlie: "On December 28 2015 we took a squad of 23 Under 21 players from five different age groups down to Ashford to participate in the inaugural Kent Prodigals Tournament.
"Although it was only a three team event the 'Sevenoaks Wanderers' returned with the winners' Trophy having beaten Ashford 17-7 and Dartfordians 10-0. This means we have been crowned the first winners of what we all hope will become a bigger and regular fixture in the Kent rugby calendar."
"The idea behind the Prodigals Tournament is to reunite the university players at Kent clubs and get them playing for their respective clubs during the holiday period, staying connected and therefore maintaining their engagement with Kent rugby.
"Sevenoaks had at least 12 players turn out who played age group rugby but are yet to make their mark in senior rugby for the Club. All enjoyed the run out, itself a great success and we hope it leads to more appearances at senior level for these talented lads."

Remember the wisdom of Solomon in the book of Proverbs: "He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind."
Matthew Harrison Brady: Inherit The Wind (1960)
Set in the United States at the turn of the 20th century, Made Up Theatre's latest production is anything but an antiquated play with nothing to say. Written by Anthony Cozens and directed by Anna Keeling, Constance, Kentucky begins with the arrival of Halley's Comet in 1910, a heavenly body that traditionally heralds a time of calamity or of great, historic changes.
While the townsfolk of Constance, Kentucky are riled up about the stormy, unseasonal weather that they're experiencing, like the biblical Magi they have two visitors who have been tracking the path of the 'star' from afar – Constance (Jacquie Crago) who coincidentally has the same name as the town, a purveyor of 'anti-comet' products – and her son Jacob (Joe Johnsey) who recces the town ahead of their 'arrival'. Jacob makes friends with Ruby Ruth (Katherine Rodden) the daughter of Porter Jones (Kieron Jecchnis) the local pastor. This however does not go unnoticed and as their lives become inextricably linked, what they all hold as important and the truth is tested and found wanting – their own personal end of days...
With its focus on the relationships between mothers and sons and fathers and daughters, Constance, Kentucky looks at, among other things, how gender affects parenthood and how only having a parent of the opposite sex plays its part in our development.
Rodden's Ruby still loves her father, but it is the void left by her absent mother that defines her and has prompted impulsive behaviour in the past. Conversely, having never had a father figure in his life (physical or 'spiritual') Jacob has no yearnings for what he's missed out of. However, like Kipling's Mowgli, Jacob is tempted from his life of freedom on the road to settle in 'civilisation' with a young woman who possesses all the qualities and experiences he doesn't have and vice versa.
The real grist of the play, however, is the 'relationship' between Constance and Porter. On the surface, their uneasy relationship mirrors the friction between the ecclesiastical classes of old and the bohemian women who consciously chose to live outside established communities to retain their freedom they wouldn't have had otherwise. However, the play is much more deeper than that. Constance's spartan lifestyle which she had no choice in – for better or for worse – has shaped her through and through. She can't do away with her feelings and opinions any more than she can jettison her past. Porter, however, does have a past (of a different sort) and at the risk of undermining his own 'authority' as a 'man of the cloth', confesses to Constance of the actions in the past that have set him on the road of penance. But rather than see this as a reconciliatory gesture, Constance recoils at this revelation.
Their lengthy conversation about their respective 'showmanship' and offering (false) hope is the heart of the play and the crux of the tensions, evoking the high stakes of the Drummond/Brady debates in Inherit The Wind. Porter recognises they're two sides of the same coin, tapping into the fears of others yet also providing comfort. Yet who has the 'purest' motives and offers the most palpable help when needed?
The thing about a comet is up close, it isn't a fiery ball of gas as was once thought, but a ball of rock, ice and gases – a lonely, misconstrued visitor from the farthest reaches of the solar system that flares up when in close proximity to the sun and inner planets. Near the end of its life cycle, it breaks up, some fragments returning as meteors – the earthbound 'shooting stars'. Constance's 'orbit' around rural America also reaches an end as Jacob looks to start a life independently of her in Kentucky. Without Jacob to think about and care for, will this mother find her own identity and learn to live for herself or will she lose to the will to carry on?
British productions of US-based plays can be a hit-and-miss affair with accents etc, but Keeling has done an excellent job of elicting striking performance from all the actors, and utilising the audience and the offstage natural fixtures of the Canal Cafe Theatre to denote spaces such as the town hall where the meetings take place. As for Cozens, he also happen to be a regular collaborator with the Pensive Federation and appeared in their recent excellent production of Square. From this pedigree, it doesn't surprise me one bit that his first play possesses depth and rich characters that touch upon the human condition, and the themes of Eugene O'Neill's early work.

Has anyone ever made fun of the way you walk? Some people walk with their feet slighting turned in and our called pigeon toed or known in the podiatry world as intoed. Some people walk with their feet slightly turned out, called out-toed, and are made fun of because sometimes it looks like they have a slight waddle – similar to Donald Duck, like this article discusses. It just put a smile on our face.
Posted by: Dr. Andrew Schneider, Tanglewood Foot Specialists
Do You and Donald Duck Have More in Common Than You'd Like?
Today is Donald Duck's birthday and while you may want to raise a glass to the lovable Disney character, chances are you don't want your gait to mimic his distinctive waddle.
If you have been told that you walk like a duck, it most likely means that you are out-toed (your toes turn out when you stride.) This condition, more common in children but sometimes continued into adulthood, can be the result of foot, hip or leg problems or can be a side effect of arthritis or obesity.
While duck-walking in itself isn't a particularly serious medical problem, it can lead to heel pain; bunions and tailor's bunions (bunions that form beneath your pinky toe instead of the big toe, their usual location); neuromas; hammertoes; arthritis; and hallux limitus (reduced movement of the big-toe joint).
[Continue to full article: Do You and Donald Duck Have More in Common Than You'd Like?]
In order to treat foot problems like those mentioned above that are caused by out-toeing, a New York podiatrist at Adler Footcare recommends starting with custom orthotics.
Custom orthotics are shoe inserts that slip into your shoe to correct an abnormal or irregular walking pattern, like duck-waddling a.k.a out-toeing. They can also help treat other issues caused by the feet not bearing weight properly, such as:
- Bunions
- Hammertoes
- Bone, Tendon or Soft Tissue Problems
Custom orthotics are better than over-the-counter orthotics because they are designed to fit your specific foot structure. Over-the-counter orthotics are mass-marketed and made to fit a general foot structure, so they will not normally correct foot problems.
If you have an irregular walking pattern, or other issues that cause you foot pain, a New York podiatrist at Adler Footcare would be happy to sit down and discuss treatment options with you and the possibility of getting fitted for custom orthotics. Contact us today! We believe feet shouldn't hurt and neither should their treatment.

Queensland is no stranger to storms and cyclones. It's a regular part of Queensland life, and locals are used to this season coming and going every year. Because of this, many people are well aware of how best to prepare their homes and buildings from storm events.
What isn't as commonly done, however, is storm-proofing their trees. Storm-proofing trees protects not just the trees themselves but also your home and property. Not to mention it can also significantly reduce the costs for cleaning and maintenance after a storm's passed.
There are many ways to storm-proof trees, with some measures not as obvious as others. Tree pruning and root barriers, for example, may seem unrelated activities at first. But when done correctly, it can significantly improve your trees' strength and stability.
With that said, there are some basic and proven techniques that you can adopt to storm-proof your trees and protect them during extreme weather. These include:
The first and most effective way to storm-proof trees should be done long before a storm arrives: keeping them healthy. There's no question that healthy trees are stronger and more stable than weaker ones. They're branches are less likely to break off and won't cause as much damage (if any) to surrounding areas. Keeping your trees healthy, therefore, will go a long way in making them more able to withstand storms and extreme weather.
There is a variety of ways to keep your trees healthy including routine tree pruning, regular maintenance, and proper watering and fertilising. This is especially important if your trees are still young and not fully matured. Whatever measure you implement, however, remember that the trees' ability to withstand storms largely depends on its' health and condition. The weaker your trees are, the less likely they'll be able to endure storms unharmed.
To ensure the optimum health and condition of your trees, it's always best to consult with professional arborists. This way, you know that your trees are getting the proper care and maintenance that it needs to grow as best as it can.
At first, tree pruning may seem counterproductive to making your tree stronger. But if done properly and appropriately, it can actually help make your trees better suited for withstanding storms. Young trees that are pruned appropriately can develop a strong central trunk, for example, resulting in a much stronger and stable base.
Not only will proper pruning take away dead or weak branches, but it can also encourage the proper growth and structure of your trees. This not only reduces the amount of branches broken during storms but, over time, it can also shape your trees so that they are more resistant to storm damage.
Of course, the effectiveness of tree pruning depends entirely on how and when it's done. As good as pruning can be, it can also be detrimental to your tree's health if it's done incorrectly. That's why it's always recommended to seek the help of arborists when pruning your trees, especially if you're not sure how to do it properly. Pruning incorrectly or inappropriately may do more harm to your trees than good.
Another good way to storm-proof trees is to anchor them with stakes, especially for trees that are still young and still growing. You can install a few stakes around the trunk and connect it to the young tree with rope or twine just before a storm arrives. This will keep the tree more stable and prevent it from being blown over by strong winds in a storm.
When anchoring your tree with stakes, it's important to remember that you should always leave enough room for the tree to bend with the wind. Anchoring a tree too tightly without space to bend can actually make it more prone to being blown over than making it more stable.
Aside from this, always remember to remove the stakes after a storm has passed. This will ensure that the stakes won't have any long-term effects on your tree's health.
If you're expecting a strong storm coming, you can provide added protection by wrapping your tree with a protective material such as burlap or a row cover. This can help protect your tree from debris and elements that may fly around during storms and other times of extreme weather.
Some people also opt to create makeshift tents around young trees, especially if strong gusts of wind are expected. They do this by planting stakes around the young tree and securing a protective material around it. This effectively creates a small shelter for the growing tree that can help deflect strong winds and other elements.
You may not be able to see them at work, but the roots of a tree are critical to the overall strength and stability of a tree. Roots are what anchor trees to the ground, so it's only natural for trees with strong and deep roots to be better at withstanding storms than trees whose roots are weak or shallow.
If you want to keep the roots of your trees strong and deeply grounded, then it's best to minimise activities that may compromise the integrity of the soil surrounding your trees. This includes excavations, construction work, and other activities that can affect the soil system of your trees. The stronger the roots of your trees are, the more likely your trees will hold its ground during storms.
Storm-proofing trees may not be as common as storm-proofing homes, but it can definitely help homeowners protect their properties during big storms and cases of extreme weather. Prevention is always better than cure, so additional preparation for heavy storms is almost always worth the effort.
And remember: the more you storm-proof your trees and ensure their proper growth through the years, the stronger and more stable your trees will be later on. That's because storm-proofing trees is rarely an isolated event. In most cases, it's also an investment in the health and longevity of your trees.
As always, we recommend consulting with professional arborists like River City Trees to make sure that you're storm-proofing your trees in the most effective ways possible. Not every tree can be storm-proofed in the same way, and some will require more protection than others. Professional arborists like us will be able to implement the best practices and techniques to suit your trees' needs, whether it's tree pruning or some other maintenance activity. This way, you give your trees the best protection they can have during storms, cyclones and other cases of extreme weather.

Results Waterside Workout CIE 13th Jun 2012
The "Waterside Workout" took place last Wednesday evening in fine pleasant conditions. My original plan of a paarlauf session around the M4 circuit had to be scrapped due to flooding around the lake area. Plan B was quickly actioned and a suitable 400m circuit close by found. We reverted to a straight forward two man relay event and there were 9 runners making up four teams. The event consisted of each runner covering 400m with the final 50 metres uphill and this took place non-stop for 20 minutes.
The result was myself and Piers coming in ahead of Chris K and Alan F followed by Graham T and John C and then Colin H and Neil F with Alan A also taking part.
Afterwards there was a splendid BBQ and thanks to Clara and Paul B for organising assisted by Ann Coffey, Joe Nolan and Paddy.

Opening an office under a major group's brand is undoubtedly an advantage according to one experienced agent.
Just hours after signing up to open his own Ray White office in Rowville, Victoria referrals were flooding in according to Andrew Freeman, an agent with over 10 years of real estate experience.
"Within hours of my franchise agreement going live, referrals started coming through from both network offices and Google search results. This could not happen if I went independent," he said.
"As a real estate 'super group' moving ahead with its tech advancements, the choice is either to lead or to follow and my decision was to go with the leader.
"Not only that, the family values that the White family carry are directly in line with mine.
"It is great to be back in this position and staying with Ray White was the best option," he continued.
According to Mr Freeman the Rowville area, which is based just 30km south-east of Melbourne's CBD, has enormous real estate potential.
"From young families, lifestyle properties, first home buyers, investors - it is such a diverse market," said Andrew.
Ray White Chairman Brian White said Mr Freeman's experience and reputation meant his natural progression would be to move into a role as a director and auctioneer within his own office.
"Andrew Freeman is a key member of the Victorian franchisor team and it's great to see he has committed to re-open Ray White in Rowville," he said.
"This continues a trend that has benefited the group massively over the years - inviting first class sales people to gain experience in our corporate team before planning to open their own business.
"We wish Andrew all the best."

According to OC Register's Marilyn Kalfus. "It's not really a concern about rising interest rates that's created a sizzling housing market in Orange County, but a lack of sellers." There are simply too few sellers and a glut of buyers competing for deals. However, this only holds true in Orange County's lowest price ranges. Steven Thomas, author of (OC) Reports on Housing, says "Two-thirds of the action is at $750,000 or less. But so far this year, 27 percent fewer homes have been placed on the market below $500,000 compared to 2016. "That is nearly an 800 home difference, leaving buyers with a very limited supply of homes to choose from," he says in his bi-weekly report. In the most recent 12 months, 29% of ALL homes sold were priced below $500,000 - the fastest shrinking price … [Read more...]

I have found that most folks are simply too busy providing for their loved ones to spend adequate time to be truly knowledgeable concerning all areas of Wealth Planning.

Are Real Estate Professionals a Thing of the Past?
In some cases, probably. Everybody and their dog provides information on the internet for the world to see, free of charge. It makes sense that companies selling big ticket items like homes and luxury goods have spent heaps of cash researching their targeted buyers internet habits so they can spoon feed them their own branded tidbits of information. Sites like Zillow, Trulia, Redfin, Homes.com and others have made real estate sales and other statistical data readily available to John Q. Public. As long as you have a little patience, you can probably find your own home and determine what a fair price would be. So really - why does anyone need us?

Have We Reached a Tipping Point?
Everyone wants to know what's around the next corner for Orange County real estate. Deciding whether it's a good time for you to buy or sell isn't easy in this quirky market, unlike back in 2008-2009 when it was pretty clearly time to pick up a bargain. Knowing when to catch the falling knife requires more sophisticated interpretation of sales data, a clear understanding of what your needs are, and most importantly, an honest assessment of your personal pain threshold. You may need to commit to buying and holding for a while. This is not the time for the faint of heart to play the real estate game. Low Inventory Per Steven Thomas, local quantitative economist, since January 1st the active inventory has only grown by 500 homes. In the past couple of weeks, it grew by an additional … [Read more...]
Selling Homes is Simple. It's Just Not Easy.
So you're ready to sell your house. You know the drill. Do a little clean-up, hire an agent and put it on the market. Simple, right? Not so fast. Industry experts are telling us that home buyer demographics are changing faster than at anytime since the rise of the baby boomer generation. So if you want to sell your home quickly and get the best dollar for it, you need to understand the new Millennial buyer. WHO ARE TODAY'S HOME BUYERS? According to the US census, the five-county, Southern California area population is changing rapidly with Millennials now being the largest population group of 6.3 million (in case you're wondering, there are 5 million Boomers and another 4.7 million Gen X-ers). This means more home buyers will be Millenials for quite a while — which is why it's … [Read more...]
2017 Forecast "Twerking Toward a Lesser Abnormal"
I nearly spit out my coffee at a breakfast presentation when Dr. Mira Farka, Professor of Economics at Cal State Fullerton, opened her 2017 Economic Forecast by saying that our economy is "Twerking toward a lesser abnormal." I love it. Our residential real estate market has been slowly returning to something less bizarre, albeit not quite normal either — she couldn't be more right. We had subtle increases in home sales and appreciation in 2011-2012, then a spike in sales in 2013 when prices also shot up. Then we had sluggishness again throughout 2014. Another uptick came in spring and early summer of 2015, only to dramatically taper off into fall, with a brief end of year "hurrah" as sales exceeded expectations. Overall prices remained unspectacular. During this correction, … [Read more...]

Busting (a Move) Through the Clutter
From work deadlines and travel to family commitments, life as you know it has created little mounds of chaos inside a much-beloved-but-sometimes-neglected house.
Sound familiar? Spring's here, so let the de-cluttering begin.
Too much "stuff" and little surface area not only clutters the house, attracting allergens, irritants, and pests; it also clutters the mind, blocking clear, creative thought, causing stress. An at-home obstacle course is the opposite effect that you were going for when you first envisioned your abode as the restful haven that it could be. If you've run out of space in the House of Things, it's time to take your house back.
Try these de-cluttering tips:
Take baby steps. Clutter overwhelms, so don't try to tackle too much at one time; you'll only get frustrated and likely stop with nothing accomplished. Experts advise to pick just one room (or even one corner!) as a reasonable goal to finish first. Do that, and you'll feel good about your progress!
Think surface versus storage. Flat surfaces are not designed to store items, so clear those first to stop the catch-all madness. Weed through bills and stray receipts to identify those to be tossed. Affordable craft-store photo boxes can serve as decorative storage for select items that you need to file. Prioritize keepsake greeting cards for a special bulletin board (or snap a group photo to remember and store).
Divide and conquer. Find your floor again by labeling boxes into four categories: "Keep," "Sort," "Donate," and "Throw Away." Group books onto shelving, then insert small baskets with items you wish to conceal to better-utilize wall space. (Donate/sell books too; ditto gently-used clothing.)
Contain your cords, devices, and keys. Use decorative baskets or boxes for the remote control and cell phones; hang keys on cool hooks or toss into an artsy bowl. Round up stray electrical cords with a cord cover.
Turn up the music to keep both you and the clutter moving. Remember: A little cleaning and a little exercise can produce big results!

The Zutons : Remember Me
Where's me washboard? Aha, here it is...
It's a bizarre irony that the founding father of the Cosmic Scouse boom, [a]The La's[/a]' Lee Mavers, has been holed up in a Liverpool studio for the last decade, desperately trying to alchemise the perfect production sound to match his Merseyside pop muse. Why? Because his bastard Mersey children make pop sound so impromptu, so instinctive, and so natural it's virtually impossible to comprehend there might be any graft behind it: take [a]The Zutons[/a]' 'Remember Me', a skiffle-tinged hobo ramalama of country-twang pedal steel, rag-and-bone man percussion and reedy saxophone that sees frontman Dave McCabe lamenting his status as jilted best friend like his little heart might break. This week's cutesy retro delight.

Ratatouille is a quintessentially French comfort food: roasted veggies and tomato sauce come together in this zesty, comforting dish. Somehow, the French can even make comfort food sophisticated, don't you think?!
I have loved ratatouille for as long as I can remember. The soft vegetables have loads of flavour and the tomato sauce that brings them all together is sweet and tangy. Ratatouille can be prepared on the stove top or in the oven, but I find the latter method gives the vegetables a nicer texture and richer flavour.
This recipe is very simple. Besides cutting your vegetables, there is little preparation and the ingredients are widely available and affordable. Plus, you can eat this hot or cold, as a main dish or as an accompaniment, in Spring or Fall — it's really versatile! While this version of ratatouille is topped with feta cheese, you can easily forego the dairy for a vegan, dairy-free experience.
Bon appétit!
Oven Baked Ratatouille
for 4 dinner-sized servings
1 medium onion
4-9 garlic cloves (depending on how garlic-oholic you are… I think I put 10 in this recipe… yes, I have a problem!)
1 medium eggplant
2 small zucchini
15-20 small brown mushrooms
2 cans crushed or diced tomatoes (I like doing a combination for lots of different textures; make sure to select tomatoes with no added salt or preservatives)
olive oil
2-3 tsp basil pesto
optional: fresh goat feta
1. Preheat your oven to 350º.
2. Peel your garlic cloves and cut into 4 pieces. Place in a large glass ovenproof dish with a dash of olive oil to coat the garlic, then let the garlic roast briefly in the oven, about 10 minutes. While this step is not required, it does make the ratatouille that much better for very little additional work, so I recommend it!
3. As the garlic is roasting, peel your onion and wash all your vegetables. Chop the onion into 1/2 inch pieces. Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise, then in half again; chop into 1/2-inch chunks. Slice the eggplant into 1-inch thick slices, then 1-inch cubes. Cut the mushrooms in half if they are too large to eat in one bite — I like finding small mushrooms to avoid that step, though!
4. Remove the garlic dish from the oven and add the canned tomatoes, 2 spoonfuls of pesto, and vegetables. Stir until all the vegetables are coated in tomato sauce, then drizzle the remaining pesto over the dish. You may sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the vegetables at this point if you desire.
5. Cover the ratatouille with aluminum foil and bake until the vegetables are soft, about 45 minutes. Allow the ratatouille to sit for 5 minutes, uncovered, before serving.
6. Enjoy this any way you like — my favourite way to eat this is with crusty bread for dipping!

Technology advances and competition have made live streaming easier than ever to deploy, but schools must be careful to pick a solution that meets their needs—and their budgets.
With commencement season in full swing, parents and alumni are flooding campuses nationwide to partake in the festivities. For those unable to make the trek in person, many schools are now broadcasting the ceremonies via live streams, giving audiences a front-row view of the proceedings.
Live streaming is nothing new, of course, but industry changes in recent years have made the technology far more accessible to institutions of higher education. As a result, schools are expanding their live-stream operations to encompass everything from graduation ceremonies to musical events, sports, and religious services.
"Live streaming captures the excitement and power of now," said Chris Knowlton, vice president and streaming industry evangelist at Wowza Media Systems, a Colorado-based company that specializes in the technology. "It's more compelling than on-demand, particularly for events such as sports where you would likely hear details about a game before you watched it."
This sense of excitement is important on a university campus, according to Ian Fritzsche, director of media services at Southeastern University, a Christian liberal arts school in Florida. "These live events really connect the community together," he said. "People feel as if they can participate in the event."
Southeastern streams its commencement ceremonies live each year, but its streaming efforts are focused most heavily on the school's four chapel services each week. "The live stream is intended primarily for those students who can't attend the service in person," explained Fritzsche. "But it's also a way to advertise the university and say, 'Hey, if you're thinking about coming to school here, take a look: This is what we're about.'"

Taryn Nelson All-CIF!
December 16, 2012 by admin · 2 Comments
BURBANK – The Burroughs High girls' volleyball team made a surprising postseason showing by advancing to the CIF Southern Section Division II-A quarterfinals.
For Bellarmine-Jefferson, it made a predictable trek to the quarterfinals in Division IV-A, as the Guards advanced to the round of eight for the fifth straight season.
The teams also had something else in common when the All-CIF awards were released Monday. Both squads had first-team honorees, as Indians junior middle blocker Caitlin Cottrell made the Division II-A squad and Guards senior outside hitter Taryn Nelson garnered a place in Division IV-A.
Nelson was a driving force for a Bell-Jeff (17-10-1) team that captured its seventh consecutive Santa Cruz League championship and ran its league unbeaten streak to 52.
With injuries and other distractions plaguing Bell-Jeff throughout the season, Nelson proved to be the one constant. From one of its setters not being able to compete in Tuesday league games because of softball commitments, to losing starting outside hitter Mariah Bankhead during the regular season to an injury to seeing starting middle Briana Hilo sidelined with an injury in the playoffs, the Guards had to battle through their share of problems.
"Taryn was even injured herself and missed the first two games with a hurt ankle," Bell-Jeff Coach Miguel Segura said. "With all that happened to us it was a real test for any captain this season, but Taryn came through and handled it.
"She was looking to get the ball on every set. And a lot of the times we gave her the ball. She was always willing to step up and take the swing when we needed it."
As the team's go-to offensive threat, it wasn't uncommon for Nelson to be double-teamed, as opponents tried to stop her.
But Nelson proved she was a difficult player to naturalize. Behind a powerful outside shot and a potent serve, Nelson was named the Santa Cruz League Player of the Year. In addition to tallying 315 kills, she also had 89 aces and 282 digs.
Despite finishing third in the Pacific League, Burroughs (19-16) was able to step it up in the postseason and advance to the Division II-A quarterfinals.
Much of that success in the playoffs was due to fine play from Cottrell.
"She really improved from last year to his year and she's worked hard to have that improvement," Burroughs Coach Edwin Real said. "When the team does well the individual recognitions come through. It's nice to see her be able to win this award.
"I don't know if she knew it, but she was our go-to person when she was in the front row. We really rode her coattails in round one and round two of the playoffs. The others came through as well, but Caitlin had two very good matches in the playoffs. Even against a good team like Oxnard she was blocking the heck out of their best hitter."
In the second-round match against Oxnard, Cottrell had 14 kills and five blocks.
Cottrell, an All-Pacific League first-team selection, averaged 12 kills and 1.2 aces a match.

Last September, it appeared as if Teoscar Hernandez had confirmed for many that he'd be ready to start for the Blue Jays in 2018. In just 26 games with Toronto last season, Hernandez hit for a decent .261 AVG, had 8 HR, and displayed the plus defense and speed that make him such a promising young player.
As good as Hernandez played in the brief time he was with the Blue Jays, there are still some glaring holes in his game that need to be addressed before he becomes an everyday player in Toronto. It was on account of these issues that led to Toronto going out and signing Curtis Granderson and trading for Randal Grichuk. Until Hernandez has improved in these areas, Toronto is making it perfectly clear they feel the need to acquire such outfielders as Grichuk and Granderson.
The biggest problem with Hernandez' game is the rate at which he strikes out. A good strikeout rate is anything below 15%, average is 15-20%, and then anything above 20% is considered poor. Although it's a small sample size, in the 26 games Hernandez played with the Blue Jays in 2017, his strikeout rate was 37.9%. Throughout his minor league career, his strikeout rate is a concerning 23%.
The other area that Hernandez needs to work on is to develop more of an eye at the plate. It isn't just that he strikes out too often, but that he walks too little. Kevin Pillar is a perfect example of this and how it can really hurt a players value. Even a player who does many things well (like Pillar), but who's too much of a free swinger and doesn't walk nearly enough can create doubts regarding the overall quality of their game.
The Blue Jays already have too many players with an extremely poor walk to strikeout ratio. This list of players includes Pillar, Grichuk, Kendrys Morales, and Hernandez. Rather than promote Hernandez to the Blue Jays to begin the 2018 season, it appears as if they'd prefer to have him start the year in Triple A where he can work on these deficiencies before becoming an everyday player in the big leagues.

You might want to check your credit card bill for hot tubs and flat screens that you didn't order.
Following rumors of a massive credit card hack over the weekend, large payment-processing firm Global Payments has confirmed that it recently suffered a security breach on nearly 1.5 million North American accounts. The breach was first reported by the Wall Street Journal, after Visa canceled services from the company.
Global Payments serves most major credit cards and reportedly processed over $120 billion in transactions for Visa and MasterCard alone last year. While the company says it doesn't believe other customer information was stolen–like names and social security numbers—the breach may not yet be contained.
Those responsible for the hack haven't been discovered yet, and those reportedly most at risk of having their information stolen are people who paid for a New York City cab on their card in the past several months. Keep an eye on your statements, people!

text: In the article, Maiken Bjerga Kiil and Hege Merete Knutsen explores how agency is conditioned by structures and context that constrain and enable successful action. They find that individual acts of coping may enable and empower more collective actions of reworking and resistance. Kiil and Knutsens arguments are based on a case study of the "Not below 24,000" movement among nurse students and newly graduated nurses for acceptable entry wages in Sweden. The movement has succeeded in raising the entry wage for a number of newly graduated nurses. Individual agency by frustrated nurses has created a labour market with shortages of nurses in Sweden where new graduates are in high demand. Using collective agency the movement has exploited the situation and acquired power in several ways. Among the data material is 18 in-depth interviews with Swedish contract nurses in Norway; interviews and information in writing from managers in four Norwegian health enterprises and hospitals; and interviews in two temporary work agencies.

Custom triggers...
When I write triggers by hand in code view, and then open the widget (update record), WebAssist replaces the trigger code with "any form post".
Simple example: I would rather write:
isset($_COOKIE["autoLogin"]) == false
WebAssist auto completes as "any form post".
Instead of:
!isset($_COOKIE["autoLogin"]) != ""
WebAssist auto completes as "!isset($_COOKIE["autoLogin"])"...works fine.
I don't like taking chances with custom code incompatible with widgets...as I may use the widget in the future to make an update while forgetting about my custom trigger and bam code annihilated.
Is this by design, a bug or am I not understanding something?

Lauer deals all aces in scoreless outing
Padres No. 13 prospect matches career high with 10 strikeouts
By Michael Avallone / MiLB.com | April 15, 2018 7:36 PM
A year ago, Eric Lauer was pitching for Class A Advanced Lake Elsinore in the California League. A few more starts like he had Sunday and he may be back in California, this time at Petco Park in San Diego.
The Padres' No. 13 prospect tied his career high with 10 strikeouts over six innings as Triple-A El Paso blanked Las Vegas, 10-0, at Southwest University Park. Lauer (2-1) bounced back from a loss in his previous outing by limiting the 51s to three hits and two walks during a 97-pitch effort.
"I've been pleasantly surprised from what I've seen of Eric," Chihuahuas pitching coach Bronswell Patrick said. "He had a good spring in big league camp and really handled himself well there. He goes out there and really competes. He's pitching like he's been [in Triple-A] for a few years instead of two weeks. He proved during camp that he should be here and he's continued to show that so far. If he stays healthy, it will be a really great thing for the Padres."
After working around a two-out double by Dominic Smith and a walk to Zach Borenstein in the first inning, the Chihuahuas scored two runs in the bottom half to give the Kent State product a cushion. Lauer gave up a single to Colton Plaia in the second and another knock to Smith in the third. Mets No. 22 prospect David Thompson walked leading off the fourth but was erased trying to steal second by Raffy Lopez. Including the two previous outs in the fourth, Lauer set down the last eight batters he faced, four via the strikeout.
Video: El Paso's Lauer ties career high with 10th K
"Eric has a knack of keeping hitters off-balance," Patrick said. "He doesn't throw exceptionally hard ... he'll top out around 92 [mph], but there's some good life to it and he keeps it out of the middle of the plate. He's able to elevate the pitch and change the batter's eye level, which gets them to chase while generating swings and misses."
Lauer's 10 whiffs equaled the personal best he set last June 10 with Lake Elsinore. The Ohio native was promoted to Double-A San Antonio on June 28, where he started slowly but finished well. He sported a 6.75 ERA in his first five starts with the Missions, then surrendered three runs over 27 innings in his final five appearances, including four starts. The left-hander finished 2017 -- his first full season -- with a 6-8 record, 3.30 ERA and 132 punchouts in 122 1/3 innings.
Although Patrick is pleased with the early-season results from Lauer, he said he knows it's a process and the adjustments he'll have to make ultimately will determine his big league chances.
"I want to see him continue to be consistent," the coach said. "He's still learning the league, the hitters and what they're trying to do against him. There will come a point where he'll have to learn to make adjustments, sometimes pitch by pitch. But he's a smart enough kid to do that. He asks questions of me all the time and takes advice very well. He understands things and he gets what he's trying to do."
Trey Wingenter, Tyler Webb and T.J. Weir each worked an inning as El Paso recorded its second shutout of the season.
Lopez fell a triple shy of the cycle, matched his career high with four hits and drove in three runs. Travis Jankowski and Brett Nicholas combined to go 6-for-8 with three doubles, four RBIs and four runs scored.

The beautiful Cathedral and "Ghirlandina" Tower in Modena's big square. Modena is a city situated on the south side of the Po Valley, in the Province of Modena, in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. An ancient town, it is renowned as the capital of the motor valley, since the factories of the famous Italian sports car makers Ferrari, De Tomaso, Lamborghini, Pagani and Maserati are, or were, located here. One of Ferrari's cars, the "360 Modena", was named after the town itself.
One thought on "Modena, Italy, my hometown"
Wow, that is a lot of big car makers in a small town. Just checked that its population is only about 180k.
I was thinking that if I was to visit this town, I would probably be more interested in the cars than in the history of the town itself. Is there any car museum in Modena?
