House Loan Calculator – Help With Financial Figures
When you use a home loan calculator, you will see what your new house loan will actually cost as time passes.
A home loan calculator will help you use logic, rather than emotion when buying or refinancing a home loan. Sometimes emotions can take over when you walk into a new residence you really love.
Exactly how Home Loan Calculators Might help
Using a home loan calculator, you can find out what your monthly home loan obligations will be. A home loan loan calculator can save you from a bankruptcy afterwards down the road, because of over estimating what a loan price will be.
Home loan hand calculators can give you all the information you need before acquiring a home loan or refinancing a house loan. The best place to find a house loan calculator is online. Most are free and very simple to use.
Home loan calculators tend to be an advantage when comparing mortgages and refinancing on the web. When considering two or more mortgages, you can easily see what the best loan is for you financial situation.
Home loan calculators can take the place of experiencing to be a financial professional. Most of the work is done for you with a few records and clicks of the mouse button. You then have some sound figures to work with.
House loan calculators are very simple to use online. If you can use a key pad and a computer mouse, you've got everything you need to make a wise financial decision.
Together with home loan calculators, you can easily see the difference within monthly loan payments. When you enter an interest rate of 5% and also compare it for an interest rate of 5.75%, you may be surprised at the cost of a house loan over a 30-year term.
You can try many different term and rates to find out exactly what looks best to you for a home loan. This is when a home loan calculator can help when you're on a tight budget. Having reduced monthly home loan obligations may work better for you personally, than saving money within the term of your loan.
With home loan calculators, you can take the mystery away from what your home loan will surely cost. This, in itself, can help you feel great about your new home purchase or refinance. With a true image of your loan budget, a home loan calculator is invaluable.
You can find all the information, tools, resources and guidance online. Taking the time in the market to educate yourself can save you thousands of dollars and give you peace of mind.

Between my writing residency and road trip, I've been away from Paris for some time. I've gotten caught up in other worlds, but the city's on my mind.
"April in Paris" is one of those phrases that instantly evokes a certain nostalgia. A mood set in three simple words. (Listen to Ella & Louis do their rendition of the song).
I'll be interested to return to Paris this month (though I'm not rushing my sojourn in Guadeloupe. Bravo to those who figured out my current location from the last post's clues!). Distance is always great for allowing us to see places we know with fresh eyes. I wonder, too, if Paris – and France – have some new changes in store.
After two rounds of voting, Paris elected its first-ever female mayor, Anne Hidalgo. (Most of France moved to the right politically in the recent municipal elections, but as Paris is so often an exception, the Socialist candidate prevailed there).
Hidalgo was born in Spain, but grew up in Lyon, becoming a French national at the age of 14. She quoted the writer Sacha Guitry in saying: "Being a Parisian is not about being born in Paris, it is about being reborn there."

Wednesday Saw the First Hole in One During Qualifying
Wednesday saw the first hole in one during qualifying rounds at the 30th Anniversary of the UT Tyler Suddenlink Patriot Million Dollar Hole in One on campus at UT Tyler.
Just after 5 p.m., Ed Barret shot an ace to become an automatic qualifier, and hit in the Finals at Hollytree Country Club on Sunday. Shortly after Ed's shining moment, Russell "Rusty" Johnson got so close, at 4", that he became an Early Bird Qualifier.
Our list of corporate qualifiers is as follows: Sean Droptini of Tyler with Suddenlink, Luke Freeman of Tyler with R&K Distributors, Jonathan Jetter of Tyler with Clark Hampe, Dr. Arnold Wharton of Tyler with Odom Insurance, Dale Eppler of Tyler with Trinity Capital Management and William Alexander of Tyler with Wilson Law Firm.
Rodney Gordon of Bullard qualified in the public lanes at 34".
Total shots for Saturday were: 2,108 at $1 per shot that's more than $2,000 raised in scholarship money for students at UT Tyler. Help us increase the amount by supporting the UT Tyler Patriot Suddenlink Hole in One all next week. We begin qualifying again on Thursday afternoon at 4 p.m.
Ladies who purchase shots are eligible to enter a drawing to win a LeVian Chocolatier Collection Necklace courtesy of Jim's Jewelers. The drawing will be held when qualifying concludes on Saturday May 14th.
Thursday is our final day of corporate lanes where we are happy to be hosting Albright Solutions, Donna Cumming Photography, East Texas Stucco and Masonry, Jeff Callens Allstate Insurance, and RPR Construction.
Lanes will be open to the public from 4 p.m.- 8 p.m.

A few months ago, I did my first official "Truth in You" session with Tamsen. I have been testing this new lifestyle session for a while now but I never advertised it as a true session where I connect completely with my model. So working with Tamsen was a bit of a test for me. I am still very happy with that session and I even re-discovered some photos thinking "oh wow, I took that photo!?".
Letting go and trusting your creative feelings more than trying to control everything actually makes you create images that you don't think you were able to create. So, every time I see images from this session, I am quite surprised by my own work. And it feels good.

You need your trip to be quick, painless and fruitful. That means you also have to read this article in full, take notes and pay attention to its tips.To find family friendly sofas and chairs look for fabrics which are stain resistant. This can include leather or cloth sofas and chairs treated with a stain protectant. By choosing family friendly furniture, you can help keep your furniture looking as good as the day you bought it with minimal effort.When you see something you like, wait to buy it for at least 24 hours.

Waiting will help.When shopping for bedroom furniture, measure your bedroom before you go shopping. There is nothing worse than picking out the perfect set of furniture only to find out that it will not fit in your bedroom once you get it home. Instead, accurately measure your rooms dimensions before you go noting where door and windows are located.Watch out for furniture that is poorly made. To ensure that you are purchasing a sofa that will withstand the punishment your family can do to your sofa turn the sofa upside down and look at the structure of the sofa. Poorly made furniture will be made using 1x1's instead of 2x2.Look over the warranty on any prospective furniture purchase very carefully. What may look like adequate coverage at first glance could turn out to be a lot of pomp and circumstance. For example, you want a fabric-guard guarantee that is without limitations and a good warranty on manufacturer's defects. Quality furniture should come with a written promise of excellence and be backed-up with a clear warranty.When buying new furniture or used furniture, make sure all the drawers and cabinet doors work properly before purchasing. Make sure the cabinet doors close securely and open easily. Test all the drawers to ensure they pull out correctly and close properly.

Types of Machine Vision Illumination Sources
Generally, machine vision has three technical advantages: Acquisition Technology, Processing Technology, and Motion Control Technology. Choosing different machine vision light source is in order to acquire high contrast and high quality images. It is very importanrt to choose a high quality and appropriate light source for creating a robust and timely vision inspection.
Types of illumination
The following lighting sources are now commonly used in machine vision:
1. Fluorescent light (high frequency)
2. Quartz Halogen incandescent lamps – Fiber Optics
3. LED - Light Emitting Diode
4. Metal halide light sources (as "cold light" sources with fibre optic transmission)
5. Xenon strobe lamps and metal halide lamps are used quite rarely in industrial machine vision
Fluorescent, quartz-halogen, and LED are by far the most widely used lighting types in machine vision, particularly for small to medium scale inspection stations, whereas metal halide and xenon are more typically used in large scale applications, or in areas requiring a very bright source. Metal halide, also known as mercury, is often used in microscopy because it has many discrete wavelength peaks, which complements the use of filters for fluorescence studies. A xenon source is useful for applications requiring a very bright, strobed light.
The figure-1 is a comparison and contrast of common vision lighting sources which shows the dvantages and disadvantages of fluorescent, quartz halogen, and LED lighting types.
Figure-1 Comparison and contrast of common vision lighting sources
Advantages of LED lighting
1. It's capable to be design in almost any housing shapes for different machine vision purpose.
2. Its light colour is not only white, but also red, green or blue, infrared or even ultraviolet. And the light intensity could be adjusted by light control units.
3. It has a long life expectancy compared to other lighting.

Halogen incandescent lamps
LED Lighting
Life expectancy
4. Quick resopnse: it could achieve the maximum brightness in 10μs or even less.
5. It could be use as a strobe light by control units.
6. It also could be customized easily according to specific needs.
Therefore, LED lightings are widely used in many industrial machine vision applications.
ConstrasTech's LED machine vision light source distinguishes itself by high intensity, high brightness and a long life time. And we are still devoted tocontinuously develop new products and improve its functionality. Now we already have a variety of LED machine vision lights available now.

10. "Running Scared" (1986)
Movie Summary:
Danny and Ray are two street wise cops in Chicago. When they are almost killed on a case, they are forced to take a vacation by their captain. Key West offers a substantial change over frozen Chicago. They decide to quit and open a bar in Key West. Upon returning, they find that Julio, the drug dealer who nearly killed them has made bail and is trying to complete a giant drug deal. They decide to complete their case against Julio before quitting, but then begin being careful. Their effectiveness drops as they find they can't operate the way they did before if they don't have the edge of a long time commitment. Written by John Vogel <email@example.com>

Facts about the this movie:
*Tom Selleck and John Travolta were also offered the roles of Hughes and Costanzo. Selleck turned it down due to commitments to Magnum, P.I. while Travolta's, at the time agent, Michael Ovitz, felt that the project was wrong for him.
*In several outdoor scenes, snow is simulated with foam.
*A sequel titled "Still Running" was planned and different scripts were written. But Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines did not think any of them were strong to warrant a sequel and turned them all down.
*On the television series, "The Directors", Peter Hyams stated that when MGM offered him the project following the success of 2010, the script focused on two old New York City cops who want to retire. Hyams suggested his idea of two young Chicago cops who don't retire and MGM agreed.
*A plot device is borrowed from The Black Windmill. In one film Michael Caine's son is kidnapped and to get the ransom (uncut diamonds) he impersonates his boss (Donald Pleasence) on the phone and gives himself permission to take the diamonds from work (MI5). In the other Billy Crystal's ex-wife is kidnapped and he impersonates his boss ('Dan Hedeya') on the telephone to give himself permission to take the ransom (cocaine held as evidence) from work (Chicago police department).
*The original script was written for Gene Hackman and Paul Newman before Peter Hyams decided to make the Hughes and Costanzo characters younger.
*A spin-off music video was produced for Michael McDonald's hit single 'Sweet Freedom', which was a major part of the film's soundtrack. In the video, Ray and Danny are in their squad car looking at a postcard from 'McDonald' in Florida which says 'Wish You Were Here' (implying that was the inspiration for them choosing that as their holiday destination). We then see a montage of action scenes from the film over the song's intro, followed by Michael McDonald singing the song at his keyboard in a Florida bar. At the song's climax, Ray and Danny join up with him and have some beers, and then dance along to and join in the song's backing vocals as it draws to a close.

Many web sites have the option for consumers to request online quote for marble granite worktops. Before doing so, look through the rest of their site. Do they talk about the quality of their product offerings?
What about the countries they source the granite or marble from? If so, this suggests the company is knowledgeable about its business, understands what their customers want and is proud to provide a quality product. Investing in granite and marble is a big decision. Though you may be working with a tight budget, the lowest price may not be the best one in the long run.
Granite is suitable for both kitchens and bathrooms. It works well with any design style, from traditional to contemporary and eclectic. When properly treated and installed, it will last a lifetime. Marble, while beautiful, is a porous natural material, prone to staining and cracking when subjected to very hot or very cold temperatures. Before investing in marble, consider its planned location. If it will be installed in area that will experience constant wear and tear, other materials may be more appropriate. Sites that provide instant online quote marble granite worktops can give you an idea about the difference in price.
There are several pieces of information you can obtain before completing the online quote marble granite worktops form. Most sites have a frequently asked questions section. They can tell you what the average timeframe is to receive your item for installation once the order is received and the granite or marble is in stock. If there is a maximum size or limited number of shapes, it may be detailed here. Granite and marble are available in many thicknesses and are very heavy. Check to see if there is information on any reinforcement recommendations for your cabinets.
Once the online quote for marble granite worktops is received, you can begin to narrow the possibilities. If these companies have product showrooms, you will be able to see the colour options available. To receive an accurate quote, there will be some measuring required. Length and width of the space your worktops will occupy are the primary basis of the quote. Thickness, number and dimension of cut-outs and backsplash dimensions may be optional. When in doubt, make an appointment for a professional to take measurements. It may save time and money in the long run.

We're a couple of days away from the opening of the UAAP Season 80 women's volleyball tournament (February 3, Mall of Asia Arena), and fans can't wait for their favorite players to hit the court, and as overused as the next phrase is, spike their way into our hearts.
National University and Adamson University kick off the festivities in the matinee game, followed by reigning champions De La Salle University starting its three-peat bid against University of Santo Tomas during the prime time match.
But the intense competition is only half the reason that the local volleyball following—composed of both male and female—is steadily growing by the year. It's also in part because of these hard-hitting ladies, who have the looks and skill to become the Rachel Anne Daquis, Mika Reyes, and Amanda Villanueva.
Chiara Permentilla (Adamson Lady Falcons)
Position: Outside hitter
Pauline Gaston (Ateneo Lady Eagles)
Position: Opposite
Justine Tiu (De La Salle Lady Spikers)
Position: Outside hitter
Carlota Hernandez (FEU Lady Tamaraws)
Position: Outside hitter
Gayle Valdez (NU Lady Bulldogs)
Position: Libero
Seth Rodriguez (UE Lady Warriors)
Position: Middle blocker
Patricia Siao (UP Lady Fighting Maroons)
Position: Libero

That's not a problem in monster crowded areas, such as the cave filled with snakes (often called "the snake pit" or "the hatmaker's dungeon"). It's very hard to survive in there without a team. Low level players can do the same thing in the bat cave, for example.Booty wrote: The time lost in approaching a target, locking on and hitting it when killing with others versus by yourself is so great that, at least in my case, one advances at half the rate.
Your dexterity will also make a difference. If the others hit the monsters while you miss, of course team work will not help.

Each Tuesday leading up to the Kentucky Derby I'll go through my Top 10 Kentucky Derby prospects, starting with this week. Be sure to comment and post your Top 10.
#1 – Drosselmeyer
Owner: WinStar Farm LLC
Pedigree: Distorted Humor x Golden Ballet (Moscow Ballet)
Current Wynn Future Book Odds: 30-1
Best Performance: Gulfstream Allowance, 1/31, 1st
Where to next? Fountain of Youth, Gulfstream, 2/20
What's to like? This guy's pedigree is tremendous as his dam, Golden Ballet, was a multiple graded stakes winner in her day and his sire has already produced multiple Classic winners. He ended his 2YO campaign with a smashing maiden victory in what was his first start on dirt. In his first start as a 3YO he handily defeated a solid field of allowance rivals going nine panels at Gulfstream as he finished up in 1:49 and 2/5 while drawing away late.
# 2 – Eskendereya
Trainer: Todd Pletcher
Pedigree: Giant's Causeway x Aldebaran Light (Seattle Slew)
Current Wynn Future Book Odds: 30-1
Best Performance: Gulfstream Allowance, 1/7, 1st
Where to next? Fountain of Youth, Gulfstream, 2/20
What's to like? After running his record on dirt to 2-2 with a sharp allowance win at Gulfstream, trainer Todd Pletcher made it clear that this son of Giant's Causeway would make his next start in the Fountain of Youth at Gulfstream. The GP allowance win was his first start as a 3YO and he stopped the clock in an impressive 1:36 and 3/5 for a mile on a track that was not playing particularly fast. He has a leggy pedigree and is certainly one to watch going forward.
# 3 – Lookin at Lucky
Owner: Mike Pegram, Paul Weitman, Karl Watson
Pedigree: Smart Strike x Private Feeling (Belong to Me)
Current Wynn Future Book Odds: 7-1
Best Performance: Breeders' Cup Juvenile, Santa Anita, 11/7, 2nd
Where to next? San Felipe, Santa Anita, 3/13
What's to like? The Eclipse Award winning 2YO is currently being freshened for his 3YO debut, which is scheduled for March 13 at Santa Anita in the San Felipe. He will run in two preps before the Kentucky Derby and his trainer is certainly no stranger to Churchill Downs glory with three Derbies under his belt. Many have been kind of sour on this guy because of his seemingly ordinary Beyer figures and his unimpressive, grinding style. Dirt will be an unknown if he shows up in Louisville with only two starts at Santa Anita as a three year-old but there's no question that he has a solid foundation and will be ready to roll when it counts.
#4 – Jackson Bend
Owner: Robert V. LaPenta
Pedigree: Hear No Evil x Sexy Stockings (Tabasco Cat)
Current Wynn Future Book Odds: 20-1
Best Performance: Florida Stallion Stakes In Reality Division, Calder, 10/17, 1st
Where to next? Fountain of Youth, Gulfstream, 2/20
What's to like? After losing his debut, this son of unheralded Florida stallion Hear No Evil rattled off five consecutive wins at Calder. The most impressive of those was on the Festival of the Sun program as he took the In Reality Division of the Florida Stallion Series. He was purchased shortly after that race by Bob LaPenta and sent to trainer Nick Zito and his first start back was strong as he contested the pace in the Holy Bull and fought all the way to the wire. He looms a serious prospect for the Fountain of Youth and bigger races beyond.
#5 – Buddy's Saint
Owner: Kingfield Stables
Pedigree: Saint Liam x Tuzia (Blushing John)
Current Wynn Future Book Odds: 10-1
Best Performance: Nashua, Aqueduct, 11/6, 1st
Where to next? Fountain of Youth, Gulfstream, 2/20
What's to like? This strapping chestnut has crossed the wire first in each of his three career starts but was disqualified in his debut and placed second. He posted a breakthrough performance in the Nashua drawing off to win and earn a gigantic Beyer figure of 102. He regressed a bit in the Remsen when stretched out to nine furlongs but was still victorious and is now being freshened for a start in what's shaping up as the race of the spring, the Fountain of Youth.
#6 – Rule
Trainer: Todd Pletcher
Owner: WinStar Farm, LLC
Pedigree: Roman Ruler x Rockcide (Personal Flag)
Current Wynn Future Book Odds: 30-1
Best Performance: Delta Jackpot, 12/4, Delta Downs, 1st
Where to next? Fountain of Youth, Gulfstream, 2/20 or Sam F. Davis, Tampa Bay, 2/13, Risen Star, Fair Grounds, 2/20
What's to like? One piece of WinStar's loaded 3YO hand, this Todd Pletcher trainee reached new heights when sent to the bayou following a maiden win in New York. He won the Jean Lafitte by nine lengths and subsequently scored again at Delta on a sloppy track in the Delta Jackpot. Donnie Preston, yearling manager of WinStar farm, had this to say to Steve Haskin of the Bloodhorse about Rule, "Rule was our LeBron James, because of his athleticism and his strength," he said. "He was muscular, well put together, and well balanced; just what you wanted to see. He was the one yearling everyone looked at. He was a given." (www.bloodhorse.com) He's been active throughout the month of January, which portends a start at some point in February.
#7 – Tiz Chrome
Owner: Lanni Family Trust, Mercedes Stables LLC, Bernard C. Schiappa
Pedigree: Tiznow x Woodland Shadow (Woodman)
Current Wynn Future Book Odds: 20-1
Best Performance: Stuka, Hollywood, 12/19, 1st
Where to next? Robert Lewis, Santa Anita, 2/6
What's to like? After being privately purchased following a strong debut at Churchill, this well-bred son of Tiznow debuted for trainer Bob Baffert in a sprint stake on closing weekend at Hollywood. He was a handy winner drawing off late to win by four lengths. His first start around two turns will take place this Saturday in the Robert Lewis at Santa Anita and the added ground should pose no great obstacle to him.
#8 – Super Saver
Owner: WinStar Farm, LLC
Pedigree: Maria's Mon x Supercharger (A.P. Indy)
Current Wynn Future Book Odds: 35-1
Best Performance: Kentucky Jockey Club, Churchill Downs, 11/28, 1st
Where to next? Fountain of Youth, Gulfstream, 2/20 or Risen Star, Fair Grounds, 2/20 or Rebel, Oaklawn, 3/13
What's to like? Like many of the other WinStar colts on the east coast it's unknown where this son of Maria's Mon will surface to make his 3YO debut but it does seem as if he's a bit behind the other Pletcher-WinStar colt, Rule. He has only worked twice as of February 1, but he ended his 2YO campaign in fine fashion taking the Kentucky Jockey Club in wire-to-wire fashion. He may have benefited from cruising on an uncontested lead at Churchill but he accelerated nicely when confronted and obviously has some serious talent. Expect to see him later this month or in March.
#9 – Maximus Ruler
Trainer: Clark Hanna
Pedigree: Roman Ruler x Lost Love (Lost Code)
Current Wynn Future Book Odds: 100-1
Best Performance: Churchill Allowance, Churchill Downs, 11/28, 1st
Where to next? Risen Star, Fair Grounds, 2/20
What's to like? Despite many being down on this son of Roman Ruler after his defeat in the Lecomte, I am of the opinion that he showed the type of ability that afternoon in New Orleans that you'd like to see in a 3YO making his 3rd career start. He contested a solid pace, battled gamely, looked to be home free then got caught in the final strides by a closer who had lingered at the back of the pack then made one big run. He should benefit from the experience earned that afternoon and you can probably count on a more patient ride from Francisco Torres, or whomever is aboard, in his next outing.
#10 – William's Kitten
Trainer: Mike Maker
Pedigree: Kitten's Joy x Blush (Menifee)
Current Wynn Future Book Odds: 60-1
Best Performance: Kentucky Jockey Club, Churchill Downs, 11/28, 2nd
Where to next? Fountain of Youth, Gulfstream Park, 2/20
What's to like? Rapidly becoming the "suck-up" second horse that you want in the bottom of your Derby trifecta, this son of William's Kitten has now been in the money in all three starts over conventional dirt and he was the only horse to make a meaningful off the pace move in the Holy Bull. He's clearly going to benefit from the added ground he and his peers will go starting with the Fountain of Youth. It's also worth noting that with each in the money finish his graded earnings will stack up but his odds on 5/1 will go up because of his lack of a killer instinct.
Races this week: Bob Lewis, Santa Anita, 2/6
See you back next week with an update! Until the final countdown on April 27 I'll include a Kentucky Derby beginning with 1998! Enjoy!

How to choose a wedding dress
Best local wedding photographer
It's important to think long and hard about decisions relating to your wedding, whether it be your wedding photographer (such as Matthew Sims), your theme, the colours, the food and, most critically, the dress.
And it seems that women are certainly of this view, with new research showing that they try on up to 20 wedding dresses before finding that one very special one that they can't wait to walk down the aisle in, and just 9% of those asked in the Promotional Codes study saying they only had to try on five dresses before they picked out a favourite.
While 20 dresses might seem like a lot to try on, it is important to make sure you find a gown that is particularly well suited to your body type. If you're something of a pear shape, look for a skirt with a gradual flare from the waist to the floor, which will draw attention away from the thighs. For women with a larger bust, it might be a better idea to go for a scooped neckline as this won't show too much cleavage and will lighten up your face. Also avoid ruched fabric or anything with a sheen to it as this could draw attention to your chest.
For tall brides, a silhouette dress is a great option, as it will help emphasise your shape. Try to avoid anything too fussy and over-embellished and keep your dress as simple as possible, without being too boring – you're sure to get lots of compliments if you do!

When We Wonder, "What's Next?"
I feel like a cook tasked with making a stew of two dozen ingredients from a recipe I've never seen, and I'm a bit overwhelmed and not sure where to start.
Do you ever feel overwhelmed with a new task? Do you ever wonder where to start? Which direction to go? Where to put your energy first?
"What's next?" may be a question we ask repeatedly during our grief journey. We probably ask it after the funeral. We may ask it later, after our grief has changed us, but we're still recreating ourselves. Or we may ask it after we're finished sorting through the belongings of our loved one.
After selling my parents' home three weeks ago and saying my goodbyes, I was enthused by the idea of paring down belongings at my own home and devoting more time to writing projects. But I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. I'm bogged down. So much to do. So little me.
I should feel excited. I want to be excited. Instead, I am trying to peel carrots, sear chunks of beef, unwrap bouillon cubes and answer a ringing phone. I'm trying to make something deliciously wonderful out of a lot of moving parts. Where do I start?
I'm going to unpack four suggestions here. What might yours be?

Friends of Northern Kashmir, HELLO !
The Siachen area page, from now is renovated and updated of historical and technical informations. This mountainous area is maybe the most incredible moutians area on the earth.
Contrary to the popular belief, the Siachen glacier has been visited
by many since more than a Century. The glacier, originally known as
'Saicher Gharni' was place of interest and several Baltis from the western
valleys visited the glacier. Many decades ago it is believed that a
small Yarkandi village existed at the entrance of the Teram Shehr glacier.
(Bullock-Workman found the walls of such a settlement in 1912 and it
was seen and photographed by the Indian expedition in 2002). Here on
the glacier Yarkandis met the Baltis and traded with them.
Thank You !

Once Upon A Tarot Time
Share on Facebook | Share on Twitter
When you play the Tarot Game and land on a STAR space, you may be directed to select 5 cards from the full deck. Beginning "once upon a time" tell a short story from the images on the cards. Try to read the story in the order drawn, however as a variation, you may rearrange the cards.
Here is one pass at a possible story in the images shown. What is your story?
Once upon a time their was a passionate leader, however his vision for his constituents had been blurred over the years. He was no longer sure that his personal convictions and beliefs were of any use. Deciding that fresh ideas were needed, he approached his son and gave him the charge of venturing out to engage with the world. In doing so, the young man found that what was truly valued were matters of the heart. He gave to his father the gift of remembering to rule from his heart and to invest in personal relationships.
The challenge in this activity is to garner inspiration from the images before relying on what's been learned about the cards through book study. The first card drawn becomes part of the Game reading, the main points of the story become part of it as well. In this case, King of Wands is take for the reading, along with possible notes " to lead others I need fresh purpose, to entrust others, and develop relationships."
Give it a try with any 5 cards drawn at random – for best results use a deck you seldom look at, so that the images will be fresh. Let me know how it goes!

~ Paying for Your Wedding ~
Preferred payment for your wedding should be made using cash, certified money orders or bank checks. I prefer not to accept personal checks for various reasons. Any payments made using personal checks may delay the filing and validation of the marriage license until such checks have cleared.
A deposit is required towards your wedding package and needs to be paid as soon as the date and time is agreed upon. Your non-refundable deposit reserves the date and time for your special event on my calendar.
The Platinum package is the basic beautiful wedding package without a rehearsal .
The Diamond package is the beautiful wedding package which includes your rehearsal.
Please note that when you have me attend the rehearsal, there is a non-refundable deposit required to hold that date and time once the rehearsal day and time is scheduled.
There are also the same packages available for Rhode Island weddings.
Paying the balance due of your wedding package in advance is highly recommended and I would suggest paying one month in advance. It is one less thing to have to worry about on your wedding day.
Late fees:
The Officiant is entitled to impose an additional late fee on the Client in the event that the ceremony is delayed more than 30 minutes beyond the agreed upon time of ceremony where the Officiant is not at fault for the delay. There will be an additional charge for each additional half hour delay after that. Please note that late fees must be paid before the start of the ceremony and must be paid in cash. *The couple must be aware that the officiant may have another ceremony to attend to after theirs, so it is important to please be as timely as possible.
Absolutely no personal checks will be accepted for payment on the wedding day.
Extra fees:
Customization fees when applicable
Microphone rental
Poetry written for your ceremony, etc...
Parking, tolls, or other travel related expenses
As performing the ceremony is a service, it is customary to tip the Officiant for a job well done just as you would the DJ, florist, caterer, or any other service provider. Therefore, your gratuities are welcome and would be greatly appreciated.

Where's the best place to propose in Cebu?
I'm taking my girlfriend to Cebu, Philippines for a vacation. It's going to be our anniversary next month and I'm going to surprise her with this trip. Her brother was attending a foreign dating event there and ever since she saw the photos, she couldn't stop talking about the beaches in Cebu. So, I thought, why not take her there? It's an easy pick for our holiday.
Part of my plan is asking her to marry me during our trip. I want it to be simple but romantic. She's not really the type of person who wants grand gestures. I just need a good place to do it and I'm good. Can anyone give a good suggestion for proposal venues? Beaches are on top of my list but other suggestions are welcomed as well. Thanks guys!

SUPERINTENDENTâS JAZZ NOTES
There have been numerous requests for a report on where New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park is headed in this new year and beyond. I am pleased to oblige, but first I am compelled to report on where we have been. Much has transpired since I posted the Superintendentâs Katrina Message in early September of 2005. Following the storm, I do recall we proudly re-opened the visitor center in mid-November, bringing local musicians back to our stage as promised, regardless of whether any visitors were present, no matter how somber the surrounds. And, we held a grand community welcome-back party in December 2005. It resembled a family reunion, in that experiences endured bonded us more so than we might have imagined.
Early in 2006, we started expanding our interpretive performances by hiring local musicians several days a week, thanks to financial assistance from the New Orleans Musicianâs Clinic. Our Oral History program continues with grant assistance, the support of the Jazz Commission, and the enthusiasm of the volunteers. The Director of the National Park Service visited in April, presenting Presidential Take Pride in America Lifetime Achievement Awards to two of our volunteers. We again hosted the Childrenâs Stage at the Satchmo Summerfest and the Jazz International Colloquium. We are conducting a âMusic for All Agesâ program with much success, bringing K-12 students together with intergenerational volunteers/mentors to foster jazz music and traditions. This effort is possible thanks to grant funding through the National Park Service Foundationâs African American Experience Fund. We are one of only seventeen national parks recognized as most opportune for sharing exemplary African American elements, stories, and histories. Partnership ties were rekindled with the Washington D.C. based Traditional Jazz Educators Network, now providing a free instructional Jazz DVD and curriculum packet to music teachers nationwide upon request. Funding has been secured, and planning is underway, to provide a downloadable, pod cast/cell phone, self-guided tour of local jazz sites. As additional funding is secured, our long-range interpretive plan calls for interactive-media exhibits, and educational research areas within the Jazz Complex, as directed through the General Management Plan and Congress. Finally, and arguably most importantly, we held a well-attended groundbreaking ceremony and second-line parade launching our Armstrong Park relocation project. This brings us back to the original question: Where we are headed?
Perseverance Hall (circa 1820) is the crown jewel of the Jazz Complex, a courtyard quadrant of historic buildings located within the Cityâs Louis Armstrong Memorial Park. The Jazz Complex is leased by the National Park Service for up to 99 years (renewable) for the purpose of providing a permanent home for New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park. Our current relocation project is rehabilitating the first floor of Perseverance Hall and the grounds of the Jazz Complex. In summer of 2007, our permanent home will be habitable. At that time we will establish a National Park Ranger educational presence in Armstrong Park, and begin the transition of our visitor center performance venue now temporarily housed in the French Market. The timeliness and ultimate success of this transition depends on several simultaneous courses of action.
First, there is a collaborative movement underway to assist the City of New Orleans in expediting the FEMA-reimbursable funding process, and other actions necessary to re-open the heavily storm-damaged city portion of Armstrong Park. The park needs to open as soon as possible, even as repairs are ongoing.
Second, the commitment of National Park Service staff to bring Armstrong Park alive with educational activities and performances must be embraced by neighboring businesses and civic groups. The active presence of National Park staff will be the cornerstone and catalyst for the revitalization of the larger city-operated Armstrong Park, the neighboring communities and businesses. The tentacles of these efforts will reach out to all the neighborhoods of New Orleans, preserving traditions and encouraging participation, as we work together to restore the cultural fabric of this area so rich in Jazz foundation and tradition.
Finally, Armstrong Park must be safe. Bringing the open space alive with people and programs is a solid start, but there must be a solid commitment from the New Orleans Police Department to provide community-oriented policing, and a reciprocal commitment from neighbors and merchants to provide neighborhood watch, and park watch organizations. A concentrated volunteer effort adopting Armstrong Park is absolutely necessary.
Parks are refuges vital to our physical, mental and spiritual well being, but they are not islands. New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park staff cannot undertake this journey alone. Katrina dealt us all an unwanted hardship, but in the aftermath we discovered the bonding network needed to succeed. The second-line parade we held last fall was simply a drill. For those who participated, the real journey has just begun. We hope all of you reading this will join our march, actively on the beat, or supportively off the beat.
John Quirk Superintendent New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park

The one thing nobody tells you about studying abroad is how lonely it is. Sure, there's the excitement of having nothing to hold you down, and being in a completely different culture. But that can often be a hindrance. As human beings we need connections. Ones which stabilize us and make us feel loved.
I told myself before coming out here that I was not to get attached – to anyone. But coming from a large family, where your support system is always there, it was only natural that I'd instinctively, if not unconsciously, try to reach out and find somebody. In truth, emotions can't always be helped no matter what the situation, and for someone who 9 times out of 10 leads with their heart rather than they're head it can be difficult.
Devoid of the multitude of bikini clad Instagram posts, I can honestly say I would've struggled massively had it not been for 5 specific people; Hanna, Laura, Lucy, Robyn and Ruth. These girls have been my absolute rock since being here.
There's something about surrounding yourself with honest people, who see the world the same as you. That will go out of their way to help anyone, and you know that you can count on no matter what the situation, which says a lot about a persons character.
For some reason studying abroad causes a lot of people to discover alter egos, theres a lot of fakery from people, that I assume are good and honest at heart. Expecting the same treatment which I've given out here, has been a huge struggle for me. I expected that everyone would get along because everyone's here for a good time. Instead, I found a lot of exclusion and cliques.
There's also the regular drama which people face during your first year at uni. Though it's only temporary, setting up house with complete strangers, and having an experience like I have, can be a complete nightmare.
I think there's just something to be said about finding and surrounding yourself with real people; who have real goals and aspirations in life, who want real things and lift others up whilst they're on the rise.
Thank you to everyone who has been here for me during this time, you'll forever be in my heart.
P.S. this post has made me very aware of how we have somehow still not managed to get a picture of all 6 of us together.

Throwing a birthday party for a group of little kids used to be pretty basic:
- a cake,
- cups of bright orange drink,
- a bowl of chips, and maybe…
- a few hot dogs after they amused themselves by running around playing tag.
But then it somehow turned into a competition of which parent could plan the most impressive, over-the-top celebration.
Rented venues!
Themed designer cakes!
Pinterest-worthy decorations!
I'm a firm believer that you can throw an awesome birthday party without spending a fortune on food, decorations, activities, or favours.
It just takes a little creativity and a few tips...
It isn't a party without sending everyone home fed, and that can get expensive quickly!
Luckily, I've figured out how to cut waaaay back on our food budget without sacrificing the fun...
1. Avoid the meal zones
So here's the deal:
Parties from 11 am to 1 pm are assumed to include lunch, and parties from 4 pm to 6 pm mean supper will 100% be provided – whether that's your intention or not.
So what's a budget-savvy parent got to do? Trim your party's food budget by hosting during non-meal times, like:
- 9 am to 11 am,
- 1 pm to 3 pm,
- 2 pm to 4 pm, or
- 6 pm to 8 pm for older kids.
2. Limit grazing
There are always kids at a party who will hang out at the food table the entire time.
What I'd do to go through far less food?
Keep the party guests busy until a designated snack time when they all sit down to eat together.
3. Snack strategically
If you're not sure how much food to buy and you want to avoid waste – like having two huge trays of warm, uneaten sandwiches at the end of the party – limit the perishables and stock up on foods that will last, like:
- bags of chips,
- pretzels, and
- popcorn.
They can be opened one at a time and easily brought home if you don't need them.
4. Let them eat (cheaper) cake
There are very talented cake artists who will make a lifelike rendition of the Power Rangers out of fondant, but you're going to pay a lot for that pretty cake.
The thing is that a professionally-decorated cake is mostly going to impress the parents – not the kids.
Bake your own cupcakes at home (mixes are just fine and the brand-name ones often go on sale for $1). And then upgrade them by making a simple homemade buttercream.
Pro tip: Don't shell out the $7 for the party-themed cupcake wrappers because they usually get oily in the oven and lose their "theme" anyway.
If you're having especially small kids at the party, stretch your cupcakes by baking minis (24 to a pan), instead of full-sized pans (12 to a pan). One is enough for a little appetite. And sometimes older kids just want a bite or two before they run back off to play.
Decor & Activities
It's easy to get carried away buying "themed" balloons, streamers, signs, tablecloths, cups, napkins, plates – you name it – but none of that is necessary for a great birthday party.
Here are my favourite money-saving hacks...
5. Reuse + recycle
Make a classic "Happy Birthday" banner out of fabric, felt or foam and you can reuse it every year.
The same goes with birthday signage, cake toppers, cake platters and decorative paper poms.
Instead of buying the $2 plastic tablecloths that gets torn and thrown away after each party, spend $3 or $4 on sturdier cloths (in basic colours, like yellow or red) that can be used for years.
Some families swear by buying sets of inexpensive plastic dishes, cups, and flatware to use for birthday parties year after year.

6. Craft your own games
Make a simple prize-punch using cardboard, plastic cups, and squares of tissue paper.
Guests get to punch through the tissue paper to reveal a prize inside one of the cups – like candy, a hockey card, or a small toy.
Set out dishes of icing and candy and have a contest to see who can decorate the best cupcake or cookie.
BONUS: This doubles as a take-home favour or as the dessert they eat at the party!
Sure, it seems like a good idea to pick up a bunch of Dollar Store party favours and fill up the loot bags…
But we'll spend $2 on a six-pack of tiny erasers and end up needing three packages ... and that's just one item per kid!
Pretty soon the "affordable" loot bag ends up costing $5 or $6 per guest.
Here are some creative (and less expensive) takes on the party favour:
7. Keep it simple
Instead of a loot bag, buy each guest one small parting gift they can actually use, like:
- a headband,
- a water bottle,
- a cool notebook, or
- a box of markers.
Way better than a plastic gun or junky $1 bracelet that falls apart on the car-ride home.
8. Make-your-own favours
Sometimes the activity can double as the take-home favour.
Buy the supplies for crafting simple jewellery, decorating T-shirts, painting small canvases, or making photo frames, and let the guests work together on their creations.
At the end of the party, everyone gets to take theirs home – maybe with a little note attached that thanks them for coming.
9. Doubled-up favours
If your party's short on time because you have lots of activities planned, the guests can always take their cupcakes to-go.
Stick each one in a plastic cup, tie clear cellophane around the whole thing, and secure it with a ribbon and a thanks-for-coming note.

When I was raising small kids (in the 70's) I read a book my Betty Crocker - can't remember the title but it was about birthdays for kids from small to teens. She recommended for smaller kids that the number of guests be restricted to one more than the age of the child. Kids, below the age of 5, for instance are often overwhelmed by being part of a large crowd and are really happy in a small group so it worked really well. I followed this until my kids were too old for 'neighborhood' parties. It was a challenge for my twins because they always wanted to have a joint party but I wouldn't double the number of kids (would defeat the purpose) so when they were 4 we had five kids, when they were 9 we had 10 kids - can't remember the activities but some of them were big muscle in a nearby park and then they watched a movie, had some snacks, birthday cake and ice cream. Everyone had a blast, didn't break the bank and no one was crying when it was time to go home.
Another tip -- watch for items that can be used as favours throughout the year. I had a pirate party for my son one year and had picked up little lanterns after Christmas for a great price. Be creative -- there are loads of ways to save money and still give your child a great party. I second Miriam's idea about the number of kids to invite -- too many kids often leads to tears, grumpy kids, and chaos.
With parties, thinking ahead and doing as much as you can yourself always results in savings. Yes its extra work but then you are trying to save a dollar!
Off Topic - Hi Steve and posters - The Wife and I are headed out to Halifax for a week not to long from now. Hotel is already booked at a very good rate but we are looking at any money saving ideas for restaurants and attractions in and around Halifax.
Hi Marpy,
It's been a few years, however strolling the Halifax boardwalk is my favourite thing to do: plenty of places to eat, lovely waterfront view, and a peek at Theodore Tugboat. Also love walking around their public gardens, visiting their citadel, and chatting with local vendors at their farmer's market.

Senate to Look into Potential Medicare Contractor Conflicts
Three Senate committee chairmen asked the Department of Health and Human Services Inspector General to look into potential conflicts of interest among private sector contractors that perform many of the payment, administration and oversight functions of Medicare.
The chairmen say that a recent survey of contractors conducted by their staffs to examine problems within the Medicare program identified several relationships between key Medicare contractors "that raise questions about possible conflicts of interest, or at the very least, might present the appearance of a conflict of interest."
In some instances, the oversight contractor is a subsidiary of a company with a Medicare claims processing contract; in other instances, the claims contractor is a subsidiary of a parent company that also has a subsidiary with an oversight contract.
Congressional staffers said they have been reviewing the relationship of subsidiaries of WellPoint Inc., Hewlett Packard Co's EDS Corp., and several other Medicare contractors hired by the government to monitor the bills healthcare providers send to Medicare, according to media reports.

RAC: CMS Approved Audit Issues Posted
To see the Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) CMS-approved audit issues, visit Connolly Healthcare's website. Connolly is the RAC Contractor for Region C. The CMS Approved Audit Issues are for hospital outpatient facilities and physicians.
According to the National Association of Rehab Providers and Associations (NARA), the first set of approved issues includes outpatient rehab in the mix, and the source of the issues comes straight from the finding in the RAC demonstration project in California and New York. In the demonstration project $3.2 million of claims for speech evaluation were found to be billed in error as time-based codes, rather than as service-based codes. The Speech evaluation code may only be billed as a unit of "1″. The same is also true for physical therapy evaluation and occupational therapy evaluation codes.
MACs + RACs = Audits
Both RACs and MACs audit providers to ensure that they're paid correctly for services provided. But once a MAC audits a service, a RAC cannot. And vice versa. So, does that mean there might be a little friendly competition between them that could result in more audits for providers? This article written by Andrea Kraynak for HealthLeaders Media explores that notion.
Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) Program Underway
The Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) program is under way, and outpatient rehabilitation and CORF/OPT services are now subject to review. The program, a wide-ranging cost-containment plan, is expected to cut improper payments in Medicare programs and identify ways to diminish or eliminate altogether any future improper payments, which may include payments for services that are not covered, coded improperly, or duplicate charges. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) plan to expand the program to all 50 states over time (visit www.cms.hhs.gov/RAC to view the schedule).
Outpatient rehab is within the first set of CMS-approved audit issues. The speech evaluation code, and physical therapy and occupational therapy evaluation codes, can only be billed as a unit of "1." In the section on Timed and Untimed Codes, CMS provides numerous examples of appropriate billing methods.
Provider outreach must occur within a state before any reviews can take place. Connolly Healthcare, which is contracted to perform recovery audit services in Region C, is the first of the four contractors to hold the mandated town hall meetings (visit this site for more information: www.connollyhealthcare.com/RAC/pages/cms_RAC_Program.aspx).
To prepare for a review, physical and occupational therapists should conclude whether they have billed evaluation and/or service-based codes erroneously. If their internal audit finds billing errors, they need to find, via their compliance program, the procedure for making a voluntary refund or perhaps a self-disclosure. Those who feel they may have difficulties may wish to perform the audit through attorney-client privilege.
For more information, visit the Web sites for the RAC jurisdictions, as follows: Region A: Diversified Collection Services (www.dcsrac.com), Region B: CGI (http://racb.cgi.com), Region C: Connolly Consulting Inc (www.connollyhealthcare.com/RAC), and Region D: HealthDataInsights Inc (no Web site yet; email@example.com).

RAC Review Phase-in Strategy from CMS
Wondering when the Medicare Recovery Audit Contractors (RAC) will begin auditing? The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) released downloadable information in late June on their RAC web page that lets providers know when auditing will occur in various areas of the country. For more details, take a look at the CMS RAC Review Phase-in Strategy (as of 06/24/09) document.
Conveying RAC Review Determinations
If you're questioning exactly how RAC review determinations are going to be conveyed, you should read this blog post by Carla Engle, MBA, whose background includes years of experience in hospital reimbursement and billing functions. In the post, Engle clarifies how the Medicare Recovery Audit Contractors' (RAC) review results letters and demand letters will notify providers of the determination and collection process.
Processes are covered for
- automated claim reviews
- complex claim reviews (where medical records and/or additional documentation are requested and reviewed)
CMS Releases 14 New RAC FAQs
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) recently released fourteen new Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) responses to frequently asked questions. Access the entire list of RAC FAQs at the CMS website.
